Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of battery production equipment, and in particular to a pushing device for large-size battery packs. Background Art

[0002] To facilitate the transportation and centralized management of energy storage battery packs, they are stacked in containers. This is typically accomplished using a pusher. Existing pushers typically use a first drive mechanism to move a carrier carrying the battery packs to a corresponding empty space in the container. A transverse mechanism then drives the carrier carrying the battery packs closer to the container to a loading position. Finally, a pusher mechanism pushes the battery packs onto the carrier into the empty space within the container.

[0003] However, during the actual packing process, the battery pack on the support mechanism may be offset from the empty space in the container, requiring adjustment of the support mechanism to ensure alignment. Therefore, pushers are typically equipped with an adjustment mechanism to adjust the position of the support mechanism. Existing pusher adjustment mechanisms are typically located at the bottom of the support mechanism, and the weight of the battery pack is primarily borne by the adjustment mechanism, which can easily damage the adjustment mechanism and make it unsuitable for packing large battery packs.

[0050] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0051] To facilitate the transportation and centralized management of energy storage battery packs, they are stacked in containers. This is typically accomplished using a pusher. Existing pushers typically use a first drive mechanism to move a carrier carrying the battery packs to a corresponding empty space in the container. A transverse mechanism then drives the carrier carrying the battery packs closer to the container to a loading position. Finally, a pusher mechanism pushes the battery packs onto the carrier into the empty space within the container.

[0052] However, during the actual packing process, the battery pack on the support mechanism may be offset from the empty space in the container, requiring adjustment of the support mechanism to ensure alignment. Therefore, pushers are typically equipped with an adjustment mechanism to adjust the position of the support mechanism. Existing pusher adjustment mechanisms are typically located at the bottom of the support mechanism, and the weight of the battery pack is primarily borne by the adjustment mechanism, which can easily damage the adjustment mechanism and make it unsuitable for packing large battery packs.

[0053] Therefore, this application proposes a large-size battery pack push device, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the pushing device for a large-size battery pack proposed in an embodiment of the present application includes a base 10, a carrying mechanism 20, a first driving member 30, a supporting mechanism 40, and a second driving member 50. The carrying mechanism 20 is located on the base 10, and the driving end of the first driving member 30 is connected to the base 10. The first driving member 30 is configured to drive the base 10 to move to a preset position so that the carrying mechanism 20 is facing an empty space in the container. The carrying mechanism 20 is configured to carry the battery pack and push the carried battery pack into the empty space in the container; the carrying mechanism 20 The second driving member 50 is mounted on the base 10 in a rotatable manner through the rotating support member 60, and the driving end of the second driving member 50 is connected to the carrying mechanism 20. The second driving member 50 is configured to drive the carrying mechanism 20 to rotate relative to the base 10 to adjust the angle of the carrying mechanism 20 toward the empty space of the container so that the battery pack on the carrying mechanism 20 is aligned with the corresponding empty space on the container; the support mechanism 40 is mounted on the base 10, and the support mechanism 40 is configured to cooperate with the rotating support member 60 to support the carrying mechanism 20.

[0054] It can be seen that the pushing device for large-size battery packs proposed in this application realizes automatic loading of the battery packs into the container through the cooperation of the base 10, the supporting mechanism 20 and the first driving member 30, which has high loading efficiency and saves manpower; the second driving member 50 can drive the supporting mechanism 20 to rotate relative to the base 10, thereby realizing automatic adjustment of the horizontal angle of the battery pack to be put into the box; through the cooperation of the supporting mechanism 40 and the rotating support member 60, dual support of the supporting mechanism 20 is achieved, the burden of the rotating support member 60 is reduced, and the overall bearing capacity of the supporting mechanism 20 is improved, so that large-size battery packs can be packed, and the service life of the rotating support member 60 is extended. At the same time, it is also beneficial to reduce the volume of the pushing device and reduce the equipment cost.

[0055] See also Figure 1 、 Figures 3 to 5 As shown, as an embodiment, the support mechanism 40 includes at least one set of support components 41, each set of support components 41 includes a connecting member 410 and a rolling member 411, the first end of the connecting member 410 is fixed on the base 10, and the rolling member 411 is rotatably installed on the second end of the connecting member 410, and the rolling member 411 abuts the bottom surface of the supporting mechanism 20 to support the supporting mechanism 20.

[0056] Specifically, the support mechanism 40 includes four sets of support components 41 arranged at intervals. The four sets of support components 41 are divided into two groups and are symmetrically arranged on the base 10 relative to the rotation support member 60 to achieve stable support for the carrying mechanism 20.

[0057] It can be seen that auxiliary support for the supporting mechanism 20 is achieved through the cooperation of the connecting member 410 and the rolling member 411; and the rolling member 411 is in rolling contact with the bottom surface of the supporting mechanism 20, which greatly reduces the friction between the support component 41 and the supporting mechanism 20 while meeting the auxiliary support of the supporting mechanism 20, facilitates the rotation of the supporting mechanism 20, and greatly reduces the wear of the supporting component 41 on the supporting mechanism 20 when the supporting mechanism 20 rotates.

[0058] As an embodiment, a guide member 70 is provided on the bottom surface of the supporting mechanism 20, and the rolling member 411 includes two groups of rollers 4110, each group of rollers 4110 includes at least one roller 4110, and the guide member 70 is located between the two groups of rollers 4110, the first group of rollers 4110 is attached to the upper surface of the guide member 70, and the second group of rollers 4110 is attached to the lower surface of the guide member 70.

[0059] Specifically, the guide member 70 is an arc plate, which is fixed on the bottom surface of the supporting mechanism 20 .

[0060] It can be seen that through the cooperation of the guide member 70 and the two sets of rollers 4110, the stability and reliability of the support assembly 41 supporting the supporting mechanism 20 are improved; it also plays a guiding role in the rotation of the supporting mechanism 20, thereby improving the stability of the horizontal rotation of the supporting mechanism 20; the guide member 70 is fixed on the bottom surface of the supporting mechanism 20, and also plays a certain strengthening role on the supporting mechanism 20.

[0061] As an embodiment, a limiting groove 71 is provided on the guide member 70, and the limiting groove 71 is set to be an arc shape with the rotation center of the supporting mechanism 20 as the center of the circle. The rolling member 411 rolls along the bottom of the limiting groove 71, and the rotation angle of the supporting mechanism 20 is limited by the cooperation between the rolling member 411 and the limiting groove 71.

[0062] It can be seen that by providing the limiting groove 71 on the guide member 70, the rotation angle of the supporting mechanism 20 is limited, collision between adjacent components is avoided, and a guide member 70 with both guiding and limiting functions is provided.

[0063] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, as an embodiment, a detection member 80 is provided at one end of the carrying mechanism 20 facing the container, and the detection member 80 is configured to detect whether the carrying mechanism 20 is aligned with the empty space of the container.

[0064] Specifically, the detection member 80 includes a camera installed at one end of the supporting mechanism 20 facing the container. The camera is used to photograph the empty space of the container and determine whether the battery pack is aligned with the empty space of the container through image recognition. If the battery pack is not aligned with the empty space of the container, the second driving mechanism 50 is controlled to operate to adjust the angle of the supporting mechanism 20 toward the empty space of the container so that the battery pack on the supporting mechanism 20 is aligned with the corresponding empty space on the container.

[0065] It can be seen that by providing a detection member 80 at one end of the supporting mechanism 20 facing the container, automatic detection of whether the supporting mechanism 20 is aligned with the empty space of the container is achieved, thereby controlling the operation of the second driving member 50 so that the battery pack on the supporting mechanism 20 is aligned with the corresponding empty space on the container.

[0066] See also Figures 1 to 3 、 Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 1 , as an embodiment, the bearing mechanism 20 includes a support frame 21, a first bearing member 22, a second bearing member 23 and a pushing assembly 24. The support frame 21 is rotatably mounted on the base 10 through a rotating support member 60; the first bearing member 22 and the second bearing member 23 are arranged along a first direction ( Figure 1 The first carrier 22 is configured to support the first side of the battery pack extending along the first direction, and the second carrier 23 is configured to support the second side of the battery pack extending along the first direction; the pushing assembly 24 includes a third driving member 240 and a pushing member 241, the driving end of the third driving member 240 is connected to the pushing member 241, and the third driving member 240 is configured to drive the pushing member 241 to move back and forth along the first direction to push the battery pack carried by the first carrier 22 and the second carrier 23 into the empty space of the container.

[0067] Specifically, the pushing assembly 24 is disposed on the support frame 21 and located between the first bearing member 22 and the second bearing member 23 , which greatly reduces the space occupied by the bearing mechanism 20 and makes the overall structure of the bearing mechanism 20 compact and the layout reasonable.

[0068] Specifically, the rotating support member 60 is a plane bearing, the fixed portion of the plane bearing is fixed on the base 10 , and the support frame 21 is fixedly installed on the rotating portion of the plane bearing.

[0069] It can be seen that through the cooperation of the support frame 21, the first carrier 22 and the second carrier 23, the support of the battery pack is achieved, the structure is simple and the cost is low; through the cooperation of the third driving member 240 and the pushing member 241, the battery pack carried on the first carrier 22 and the second carrier 23 is automatically pushed into the empty space of the container.

[0070] As an embodiment, the pushing member 241 includes a moving seat 2410 and two pushing blocks 2411. The driving end of the third driving member 240 is connected to the moving seat 2410. The two pushing blocks 2411 are symmetrically arranged on the moving seat 2410 along the center line of the moving seat 2410 in the first direction. The third driving member 240 drives the moving seat 2410 to move along the first direction to drive the two pushing blocks 2411 to push the battery pack synchronously.

[0071] Specifically, two slide rails 25 extending along the first direction are arranged in parallel on the support frame 21, and the movable seat 2410 is slidably installed on the two slide rails 25 through two groups of sliders. Each group of sliders includes at least one slider to ensure the stability of the movable seat 2410 moving along the first direction.

[0072] Specifically, the third driving member 240 includes a first motor 2400, a first rack 2401 and a first driving gear 2402. The fixed end of the first motor 2400 is installed on the movable base 2410. The driving end of the first motor 2400 is installed with the first driving gear 2402. The first rack 2401 is fixed on the support frame 21 and extends along the first direction. The first driving gear 2402 is engaged with the first rack 2401. The first motor 2400 drives the first driving gear 2402 to rotate, so as to drive the movable base 2410 to move back and forth along the first direction through the cooperation of the first rack 2401 and the first driving gear 2402.

[0073] It can be seen that by arranging two push blocks 2411 on the movable seat 2410 at intervals, the third driving member 240 drives the two push blocks 2411 to synchronously push both sides of the end of the battery pack, thereby achieving the goal of smoothly pushing the battery pack while also correcting the battery pack in the second direction ( Figure 1 The deviation of movement in the Y direction) in the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0074] As an embodiment, the pushing member 241 also includes a fourth driving member, the two pushing blocks 2411 are hinged on the movable seat 2410, the driving end of the fourth driving member is connected to the two pushing blocks 2411, and the fourth driving member is configured to drive the two pushing blocks 2411 to rotate to the first position or the second position; the fourth driving member drives the two pushing blocks 2411 to rotate to the first position to avoid the moving path of the battery pack when the battery pack is placed on the first carrier 22 and the second carrier 23; the fourth driving member drives the two pushing blocks 2411 to rotate to the second position so that the pushing ends of the two pushing blocks 2411 are facing the battery packs on the first carrier 22 and the second carrier 23.

[0075] Specifically, the fourth driving member includes two cylinders 242 , each cylinder 242 corresponds to a push block 2411 , the fixed end of the cylinder 242 is connected to the movable seat 2410 , and the driving end of the cylinder 242 is connected to the corresponding push block 2411 .

[0076] Specifically, a buffer block 2412 is installed at the pushing end of each pushing block 2411 to buffer the pushing force on the battery pack.

[0077] It can be seen that through the cooperation of the fourth driving member and the two pushing blocks 2411, the battery pack can be avoided when being placed on the first carrier 22 and the second carrier 23, and after the battery pack is placed, the two pushing blocks 2411 are facing the battery pack on the first carrier 22 and the second carrier 23 to facilitate pushing the battery pack.

[0078] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, as an embodiment, a limiting assembly 26 is provided on the first carrier 22 and the second carrier 23 , and the limiting assembly 26 of the first carrier 22 and the second carrier 23 is configured to limit the movement of the battery pack in the second direction.

[0079] Specifically, the limiting assembly 26 includes a limiting plate 260 and a plurality of limiting rollers 261. The plurality of limiting rollers 261 are arranged close to the container relative to the limiting plate 260. The limiting plate 260 is installed on the first carrier 22 and the second carrier 23 and extends along the first direction. The plurality of limiting rollers 261 are arranged on the first carrier 22 and the second carrier 23 at intervals along the first direction to reduce the friction of the limiting assembly 26 on the battery pack when the battery pack is pushed into the empty space of the container.

[0080] It can be seen that by setting the limiting component 26, the battery pack is limited in the second direction to avoid the battery pack from being offset in the second direction during the process of pushing the battery pack into the box, thereby ensuring that the battery pack is smoothly pushed into the empty space of the container.

[0081] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, as an embodiment, the fixed end of the second driving member 50 is hinged on the base 10, the driving end of the second driving member 50 is hinged to the supporting mechanism 20, and the second driving member 50 is configured to drive the driving end of the second driving member 50 to move back and forth in a straight line.

[0082] Specifically, the second driving member 50 is an electric cylinder, a fixed end of the electric cylinder is hinged to the base 10 , and a driving end of the electric cylinder is hinged to the support frame 21 .

[0083] It can be seen that, by setting the second driving member 50 , a second driving member 50 with high driving precision, easy control, stable and reliable operation is provided.

[0084] See also Figure 1As shown, as an embodiment, the pushing equipment for large-size battery packs also includes a frame 90, and the base 10 is mounted on the frame 90 in a liftable manner through a sliding pair consisting of a linear guide rail and a slider, and the first driving member 30 includes a second motor, a second rack and a second driving gear, the fixed end of the second motor is mounted on the base 10, and the driving end of the second motor is mounted on the second driving gear, the second rack is vertically fixed on the frame 90, and the second driving gear is engaged with the second rack; the second motor drives the second driving gear to rotate, so as to drive the base 10 to rise and fall through the cooperation of the second rack and the second driving gear, so that the carrying mechanism 20 is facing an empty space in the container.

[0085] Specifically, the first driving member 30 also includes a transverse movement module, the driving end of the transverse movement module is connected to the transverse movement plate, the transverse movement module is configured to drive the transverse movement plate to move transversely, and the frame 90 is vertically installed on the transverse movement module to realize the transverse movement and lifting of the driving base 10.

[0086] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the specific packing process of the push device for large-size battery packs proposed in the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0087] The first carrier 22 and the second carrier 23 of the carrier mechanism 20 receive the battery pack to be put into the box;

[0088] The first driving mechanism 30 drives the base 10 to move to a preset position so that the battery packs to be loaded onto the first and second supporting members 22 and 23 face an empty space in the container.

[0089] The detection member 80 detects whether the battery packs to be loaded onto the first carrier 22 and the second carrier 23 are aligned with the empty spaces in the container;

[0090] If the battery pack is aligned with the empty space of the container, the third driving member 240 and the pushing member 241 move along the first direction toward the empty space of the container to push the battery pack into the empty space of the container;

[0091] If the battery pack is not aligned with the empty space in the container, the second driving mechanism 50 drives the supporting mechanism 20 to rotate relative to the base 10, so that the battery pack on the supporting mechanism 20 is aligned with the corresponding empty space on the container, and then the third driving member 240 drives the pushing member 241 to move along the first direction close to the empty space of the container, pushing the battery pack into the empty space in the container.

[0092] The large-size battery pack pushing device proposed in the embodiment of the present application has the following advantages:

[0093] 1) The battery packs can be automatically loaded into the container, which has high loading efficiency and saves manpower;

[0094] 2) Automatic adjustment of the horizontal angle of the battery pack to be loaded into the container is achieved, so that the battery pack to be loaded into the container is automatically aligned with the empty space in the container, improving the loading efficiency;

[0095] 3) The support mechanism and the rotating support member provide dual support for the load-bearing mechanism, reducing the burden on the rotating support member and thereby increasing the overall load-bearing capacity of the load-bearing mechanism. This enables the packaging of large-sized battery packs, extending the service life of the rotating support member and also helping to reduce the size of the push device and lowering equipment costs.

[0096] 4) The support mechanism is cleverly designed, which can guide and limit the rotation of the bearing mechanism while providing auxiliary support;

[0097] 5) There is rolling contact between the supporting mechanism and the bearing mechanism, which reduces the wear on the bearing mechanism;
