Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of battery cell production equipment, and specifically to a regularization mechanism and a battery cell conveying device. Background Art

[0002] The battery cells may be displaced during the process of being transported by the conveyor line to the unloading station. Therefore, a regularizing mechanism is required to regularize the position of the battery cells before unloading.

[0003] The existing straightening mechanism is generally composed of straightening plates arranged in pairs on both sides of the conveyor line. When the battery cell reaches between the two straightening plates, the two straightening plates move closer to the battery cell to straighten the battery cell.

[0004] Due to the conveying accuracy problem of the conveyor line, each time the conveyor line steps the battery cell forward, it may cause the battery cell to deviate from the preset position, ultimately making it impossible for the conveyor line to accurately transport the battery cell to the unloading station. Therefore, it is necessary to regularize the position of the battery cell along the conveying direction of the conveyor line to ensure that the battery cell can accurately stop at the unloading station. However, the existing regularization mechanism can only regularize the battery cell perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor line, and it cannot regularize the position of the battery cell along the conveying direction of the conveyor line. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a regularization mechanism, which adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A tidying mechanism includes a base, a sliding seat, a tidying block, a first tidying jaw assembly, a second tidying jaw assembly, a spring, a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod and a driving assembly, wherein:

[0007] The sliding seat is slidably connected to the base and can slide along a first direction;

[0008] The first regular clamping jaw assembly and the second regular clamping jaw assembly are slidably connected to the sliding seat side by side along a second direction and can slide along the second direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction;

[0009] The regularization block is arranged on the end portion of the sliding seat along the first direction, the regularization block is located between the first regularization jaw assembly and the second regularization jaw assembly, the first regularization jaw assembly and the second regularization jaw assembly protrude from the regularization block along the first direction, and a regularization space is formed between the first regularization jaw assembly and the second regularization jaw assembly;

[0010] The first end of the spring is connected to the first regular clamping jaw assembly, and the second end of the spring is connected to the second regular clamping jaw assembly. The spring is configured to elastically push the first regular clamping jaw assembly and the second regular clamping jaw assembly toward both sides along the second direction.

[0011] The driving assembly is arranged on the base, the movable part of the driving assembly is located between the first regular clamping jaw assembly and the second regular clamping jaw assembly, the first end of the first connecting rod is hinged on the movable part of the driving assembly, the second end of the first connecting rod is hinged on the first regular clamping jaw assembly, the first end of the second connecting rod is hinged on the movable part of the driving assembly, and the second end of the second connecting rod is hinged on the second regular clamping jaw assembly;

[0012] The driving assembly is configured to drive the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod to move along the first direction, so as to drive the sliding seat to slide along the first direction, and drive the first regularizing jaw assembly and the second regularizing jaw assembly to slide together or apart along the second direction.

[0013] The aligning mechanism provided in this application, in conjunction with the positioning member provided on the first side of the conveyor line, can be used to align the cells conveyed on the conveyor line. The aligning process is as follows:

[0014] The aligning mechanism is arranged on a second side of the conveying line, and the conveying line conveys the battery cells along a second direction.

[0015] When the battery cell reaches the aligning station between the positioning piece and the aligning mechanism, the driving assembly drives the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod along the first direction to move toward the aligning station, so as to drive the sliding seat to move synchronously, so that the battery cell located at the aligning station enters the aligning space and is pressed against the positioning piece provided on the second side of the conveyor line by the aligning block, thereby aligning the position of the battery cell in the first direction.

[0016] The driving assembly continues to drive the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod to move toward the regularization station. Since the sliding seat cannot move, the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are compressed and rotated, thereby driving the first regularization clamping assembly and the second regularization clamping assembly to clamp the battery cell along the second direction to regularize the position of the battery cell in the second direction. At the same time, the spring is compressed and contracted.

[0017] By using two sets of the regularization mechanisms provided in this application, the regularization of the battery cells transported on the conveyor line can also be implemented. The regularization process is as follows:

[0018] Two sets of aligning mechanisms are arranged on both sides of the conveyor line along the first direction. The conveyor line conveys the battery cells along the second direction. When the battery cells arrive at the aligning station located between the two aligning mechanisms, at least one of the two aligning mechanisms performs the aligning operation, specifically:

[0019] The driving components drive the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod to move toward the regularization station along the first direction to drive the sliding seat to move synchronously, so that the battery cell located at the regularization station enters the regularization space and is pressed against the regularization block of another regularization mechanism by the regularization block, thereby regularizing the position of the battery cell in the first direction.

[0020] The driving assembly continues to drive the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod to move toward the regularization station. Since the sliding seat cannot move, the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are compressed and rotated, thereby driving the first regularization clamping assembly and the second regularization clamping assembly to clamp the battery cell along the second direction to regularize the position of the battery cell in the second direction. At the same time, the spring is compressed and contracted.

[0021] It can be seen that the regularization mechanism provided in the present application can not only regularize the battery cells perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor line, but also regularize the positions of the battery cells along the conveying direction of the conveyor line.

[0022] In some embodiments, a first slide rail extending along a first direction is provided on the base, and the sliding seat is slidably connected to the first slide rail and can slide along the first slide rail.

[0023] By providing the first slide rail, the sliding guide of the sliding seat in the first direction is achieved, thereby preventing the sliding seat from deviating during the sliding process.

[0024] In some embodiments, the upper end surface of the regularization block is located below the lower end surfaces of the first regularization jaw assembly and the second regularization jaw assembly in the vertical direction; or, the upper end surface of the regularization block is flush with the upper end surfaces of the first regularization jaw assembly and the second regularization jaw assembly in the vertical direction.

[0025] With this arrangement, when the regularization block is pressed against the battery cell and the position of the battery cell is regularized in the first direction, the regularization block can avoid the first regularization clamping assembly and the second regularization clamping assembly, ensuring that the first regularization clamping assembly and the second regularization clamping assembly can clamp the battery cell along the second direction to regularize the position of the battery cell in the second direction.

[0026] In some embodiments, a second slide rail extending along the second direction is provided on the sliding seat, and the first regular clamping jaw assembly and the second regular clamping jaw assembly are both slidably connected to the second slide rail and can slide along the second slide rail.

[0027] By setting the second slide rail, the sliding guidance of the first regular clamping jaw assembly and the second regular clamping jaw assembly in the second direction is achieved, preventing the first regular clamping jaw assembly and the second regular clamping jaw assembly from deviating during the sliding process.

[0028] In some embodiments, the driving assembly includes a driving member, a third slide rail and a driving block, wherein: the driving member is arranged on the base; the third slide rail is connected to the sliding seat in a sliding manner along a first direction, the third slide rail is connected to the driving end of the driving member, the driving member is configured to drive the third slide rail to slide along the first direction, and the driving block is fixedly connected to the third slide rail; the driving block is a movable part of the driving assembly, the first end of the first connecting rod is hinged to the driving block, and the first end of the second connecting rod is hinged to the driving block.

[0029] By setting up the drive component, it is achieved that only one drive component is required, that is, the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod can be synchronously driven along the first direction, and finally the sliding seat is driven to slide along the first direction, or the first regular clamping jaw assembly and the second regular clamping jaw assembly are driven to slide together or slide apart along the second direction, thereby reducing the structural complexity and cost of the drive component.

[0030] In some embodiments, a sliding groove extending along the first direction is provided on the sliding seat, and the third sliding rail is slidably installed in the sliding groove.

[0031] The sliding guide of the third slide rail is realized, thereby ensuring that the driving block slides stably along the first direction, and finally making the driving force applied by the driving block to the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod equal.

[0032] In some embodiments, two limiting posts are provided on the sliding seat, the two limiting posts are located on the side of the driving block away from the spring, and the two limiting posts are respectively located on the moving paths of the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod.

[0033] By providing the limiting column, the movement stroke of the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod in the first direction is limited.

[0034] In some embodiments, the first regularizing jaw assembly includes a first connecting block and a first regularizing jaw, wherein the first connecting block is slidably connected to the sliding seat, and the first regularizing jaw is connected to the first connecting block and extends out of the regularizing block along the first direction; the second regularizing jaw assembly includes a second connecting block and a second regularizing jaw, wherein the second connecting block is slidably connected to the sliding seat, and the second regularizing jaw is connected to the second connecting block and extends out of the regularizing block along the first direction; the first end of the spring is connected to the first connecting block, and the second end of the spring is connected to the second connecting block.

[0035] Since the first regularizing jaw and the second regularizing jaw both extend out of the regularizing block in the first direction, when the sliding seat slides along the second direction toward the regularizing station, the battery cell can enter between the first regularizing jaw and the second regularizing jaw, and finally the battery cell can be rested on the regularizing block, and the first regularizing jaw and the second regularizing jaw can clamp the battery cell.

[0036] The present application also provides a battery cell conveying device, which includes a conveying line, a positioning member, and any one of the above-mentioned regularization mechanisms, wherein:

[0037] The conveyor line is configured to convey the battery cells along the second direction, and a tidying station and a blanking station are sequentially arranged on the conveying path of the conveyor line;

[0038] The positioning member is located on a first side of the arranging station, and the arranging mechanism is located on a second side of the arranging station;

[0039] The driving assembly is configured to drive the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod to move toward the regularization station along the first direction, so as to drive the sliding seat to move synchronously, so that the battery cell located at the regularization station enters the regularization space and is pressed against the positioning member by the regularization block, so as to regularize the position of the battery cell in the first direction;

[0040] The driving assembly is configured to continue to drive the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod to move toward the regularization station, so that the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are compressed and rotated to drive the first regularization clamping assembly and the second regularization clamping assembly to clamp the battery cell along the second direction to regularize the position of the battery cell in the second direction, and the spring is compressed and contracted.

[0041] By cooperating with the aligning mechanism and the positioning member, the battery cell conveying device provided by the present application realizes the conveyance of the battery cells and completes the alignment of the battery cells during the conveying process. In particular, the aligning mechanism can not only align the battery cells perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor line, but also align the positions of the battery cells along the conveying direction of the conveyor line.

[0043] The conveyor line is configured to convey the battery cells along the second direction, and a tidying station and a blanking station are sequentially arranged on the conveying path of the conveyor line;

[0044] Two sets of aligning mechanisms are respectively arranged outside the aligning station on both sides along the first direction, and the two sets of aligning mechanisms are configured to cooperate to align the battery cells at the aligning station;

[0045] The driving assembly is configured to drive the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod to move toward the regularization station along the first direction, so as to drive the sliding seat to move synchronously, so that the battery cell located at the regularization station enters the regularization space and is pressed against the regularization block of another regularization mechanism by the regularization block, so as to regularize the position of the battery cell in the first direction;

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0053] 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.

[0054] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the tidying mechanism in the embodiment of the present application includes a base 1, a sliding seat 2, a tidying block 3, a first tidying jaw assembly 4, a second tidying jaw assembly 5, a spring 6, a first connecting rod 7, a second connecting rod 8 and a driving assembly 9, wherein:

[0055] The sliding seat 2 is slidably connected to the base 1 and can slide along a first direction (such as the X direction).

[0056] The first regularizing jaw assembly 4 and the second regularizing jaw assembly 5 are slidably connected to the sliding base 2 side by side along a second direction (such as the Y direction), and can slide along the second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0057] The regularization block 3 is arranged on the end of the sliding seat 2 along the first direction, and the regularization block 3 is located between the first regularization jaw assembly 4 and the second regularization jaw assembly 5. The first regularization jaw assembly 4 and the second regularization jaw assembly 5 protrude from the regularization block 3 along the first direction, and a regularization space is formed between the first regularization jaw assembly 4 and the second regularization jaw assembly 5.

[0058] The first end of the spring 6 is connected to the first regularizing jaw assembly 4, and the second end of the spring 6 is connected to the second regularizing jaw assembly 5. The spring 6 is configured to elastically push the first regularizing jaw assembly 4 and the second regularizing jaw assembly 5 in both directions along the second direction. In other words, the spring 6 is always in a compressed state, and it continuously and elastically pushes the first regularizing jaw assembly 4 and the second regularizing jaw assembly 5 in both directions.

[0059] The driving assembly 9 is arranged on the base 1, and the movable part of the driving assembly 9 is located between the first regular clamping jaw assembly 4 and the second regular clamping jaw assembly 5. The first end of the first connecting rod 7 is hinged to the movable part of the driving assembly 9, and the second end of the first connecting rod 7 is hinged to the first regular clamping jaw assembly 4. The first end of the second connecting rod 8 is hinged to the movable part of the driving assembly 9, and the second end of the second connecting rod 8 is hinged to the second regular clamping jaw assembly 5.

[0060] The driving assembly 9 is configured to drive the first connecting rod 7 and the second connecting rod 8 to move along the first direction, so as to drive the sliding seat 2 to slide along the first direction, and to drive the first regularizing jaw assembly 4 and the second regularizing jaw assembly 5 to slide together or apart along the second direction.

[0061] The aligning mechanism of the embodiment of the present application can be used in conjunction with the positioning member provided on the first side of the conveyor line to align the battery cells conveyed on the conveyor line. The aligning process is as follows:

[0062] The aligning mechanism is arranged on a second side of the conveyor line opposite to the first side, a aligning station is formed between the aligning mechanism and the positioning member, and the conveyor line conveys the battery cells along the second direction.

[0063] When the battery cell 100 is transported to the aligning station, the driving assembly 9 drives the first connecting rod 7 and the second connecting rod 8 toward the aligning station along the first direction, thereby driving the sliding seat 2 to move synchronously, so that the battery cell 100 located at the aligning station enters the aligning space and is pressed against the positioning member by the aligning block 3, thereby aligning the position of the battery cell 100 in the first direction. The positioning member can be, for example, a rectangular positioning block having a positioning end surface facing the aligning station and extending along the second direction, and the aligning block 3 presses the battery cell 100 against the positioning end surface.

[0064] The driving assembly 9 continues to drive the first connecting rod 7 and the second connecting rod 8 to move toward the regularization station. Since the sliding seat 2 cannot move, the first connecting rod 7 and the second connecting rod 8 are compressed and rotated, thereby driving the first regularization clamping jaw assembly 4 and the second regularization clamping jaw assembly 5 to slide toward the middle along the second direction to clamp the battery cell 100, so as to regularize the position of the battery cell 100 in the second direction. At the same time, the spring 6 is compressed and contracted.

[0065] Alternatively, positioning members may not be provided, and two sets of aligning mechanisms provided in the embodiments of the present application may be used to align the cells conveyed on the conveyor line. The aligning process is as follows:

[0066] Two sets of aligning mechanisms are arranged on both sides of the conveyor line along the first direction. The conveyor line conveys the battery cells along the second direction. When the battery cell 100 reaches the aligning station located between the two aligning mechanisms, at least one of the two aligning mechanisms performs the aligning operation, specifically:

[0067] The driving assembly 9 drives the first connecting rod 7 and the second connecting rod 8 to move toward the regularization station along the first direction to drive the sliding seat 2 to move synchronously, so that the battery cell located at the regularization station enters the regularization space and is pressed against the regularization block 3 of another regularization mechanism by the regularization block 3, thereby regularizing the position of the battery cell in the first direction.

[0068] The driving assembly 9 continues to drive the first connecting rod 7 and the second connecting rod 8 to move toward the regularization station. Since the sliding seat 2 cannot move, the first connecting rod 7 and the second connecting rod 8 are compressed and rotated, thereby driving the first regularization clamping assembly 4 and the second regularization clamping assembly 5 to slide toward the middle along the second direction to clamp the battery cell 100, so as to regularize the position of the battery cell 100 in the second direction. At the same time, the spring 6 is compressed and contracted.

[0069] It can be seen that the regularization mechanism provided in the embodiment of the present application can not only regularize the battery cells 100 perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor line, but also regularize the positions of the battery cells 100 along the conveying direction of the conveyor line.

[0070] Optionally, a first slide rail 10 extending along a first direction is provided on the base 1, and the sliding seat 2 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 10 and can slide along the first slide rail 10. By providing the first slide rail 10, the sliding guide of the sliding seat 2 in the first direction is achieved, preventing the sliding seat 2 from deviating during the sliding process.

[0071] Optionally, the upper end surface of the tidying block 3 is located below the lower end surfaces of the first tidying jaw assembly 4 and the second tidying jaw assembly 5 in the vertical direction. Alternatively, the upper end surface of the tidying block 3 is flush with the upper end surfaces of the first tidying jaw assembly 4 and the second tidying jaw assembly 5 in the vertical direction.

[0072] With this arrangement, when the aligning block 3 is pressed against the battery cell 100 and the position of the battery cell 100 is aligned in the first direction, the aligning block 3 can avoid the first aligning jaw assembly 4 and the second aligning jaw assembly 5, ensuring that the first aligning jaw assembly 4 and the second aligning jaw assembly 5 can clamp the battery cell 100 along the second direction, thereby aligning the position of the battery cell 100 in the second direction.

[0073] Optionally, a second slide rail 110 extending along the second direction is provided on the sliding seat 2, and the first regular clamping jaw assembly 4 and the second regular clamping jaw assembly 5 are both slidably connected to the second slide rail 110 and can slide along the second slide rail 110. By providing the second slide rail 110, the sliding guidance of the first regular clamping jaw assembly 4 and the second regular clamping jaw assembly 5 in the second direction is achieved, preventing the first regular clamping jaw assembly 4 and the second regular clamping jaw assembly 5 from deviating during the sliding process.

[0074] Optionally, the drive assembly 9 includes a drive member 91, a third slide rail 92, and a drive block 93, wherein the drive member 91 is disposed on the base 1. The third slide rail 92 is slidably connected to the slide base 2 along a first direction. The third slide rail 92 is connected to the driving end of the drive member 91. The drive member 91 is configured to drive the third slide rail 92 to slide along the first direction. The drive block 93 is fixedly connected to the third slide rail 92. The drive block 93 is a movable component of the drive assembly. The first end of the first connecting rod 7 is hinged to the drive block 93, and the first end of the second connecting rod 8 is hinged to the drive block 93.

[0075] When the driving member 91 drives the third slide rail 92 to slide along the first direction, the driving block 93 moves synchronously with the third slide rail 92 , thereby synchronously driving the first connecting rod 7 and the second connecting rod 8 in the first direction.

[0076] Optionally, the sliding seat 2 is provided with a slide groove extending in the first direction, and the third slide rail 92 is slidably mounted in the slide groove. The slide groove guides the sliding of the third slide rail 92, thereby ensuring that the driving block 93 slides stably in the first direction, and ultimately ensuring that the driving force applied by the driving block 93 to the first connecting rod 7 and the second connecting rod 8 is equal.

[0077] like Figure 3 As shown, optionally, two limiting posts 120 are further provided on the sliding seat 2. The two limiting posts 120 are located on the side of the driving block 93 away from the spring 6. The two limiting posts 120 are respectively located on the moving paths of the first connecting rod 7 and the second connecting rod 8. By providing the limiting posts 120, the moving stroke of the first connecting rod 7 and the second connecting rod 8 in the first direction is limited.

[0078] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, optionally, the first regularization jaw assembly 4 includes a first connecting block 41 and a first regularization jaw 42, wherein the first connecting block 41 is slidably connected to the sliding base 2, and the first regularization jaw 42 is connected to the first connecting block 41 and extends out of the regularization block 3 in the first direction. The second regularization jaw assembly 5 includes a second connecting block 51 and a second regularization jaw 52, ​​wherein the second connecting block 51 is slidably connected to the sliding base 2, and the second regularization jaw 52 is connected to the second connecting block 51 and extends out of the regularization block 3 in the first direction. The first end of the spring 6 is connected to the first connecting block 41, and the second end of the spring 6 is connected to the second connecting block 51.

[0079] Since the first regularizing jaw 42 and the second regularizing jaw 52 both extend out of the regularizing block along the first direction, when the sliding seat 2 slides along the second direction toward the regularizing station, the battery cell 100 can enter between the first regularizing jaw 42 and the second regularizing jaw 52, ​​and finally the battery cell 100 can be rested on the regularizing block 3, and the first regularizing jaw 42 and the second regularizing jaw 52 can clamp the battery cell 100.

[0080] Based on the same application concept, an embodiment of the present application further provides a battery cell conveying device, which includes a conveying line, a positioning member, and the regularization mechanism in any of the above embodiments, wherein:

[0081] The conveyor line is configured to convey the battery cells along the second direction, and a tidying station and a blanking station are sequentially arranged on the conveying path of the conveyor line.

[0082] The positioning member is located on a first side of the tidying station, and the tidying mechanism is located on a second side of the tidying station.

[0083] The driving assembly is configured to drive the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod to move toward the regularization station along the first direction to drive the sliding seat to move synchronously, so that the battery cell located at the regularization station enters the regularization space and is pressed against the positioning piece by the regularization block to regularize the position of the battery cell in the first direction.

[0084] The driving assembly is configured to continue to drive the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod to move toward the regularization station, so that the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are compressed and rotated to drive the first regularization clamping assembly and the second regularization clamping assembly to clamp the battery cell along the second direction to regularize the position of the battery cell in the second direction, and the spring is compressed and contracted.

[0085] It can be seen that, through the cooperation between the regularization mechanism and the positioning member, the battery cell conveying device provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes the conveyance of battery cells and completes the regularization of battery cells during the conveying process. In particular, the regularization mechanism can regularize the battery cells perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor line, and can also regularize the position of the battery cells along the conveying direction of the conveyor line.

[0087] The conveyor line is configured to convey the battery cells along the second direction, and a tidying station and a blanking station are sequentially arranged on the conveying path of the conveyor line.

[0088] The two sets of tidying mechanisms are respectively arranged outside the two sides of the tidying station along the first direction, and the two sets of tidying mechanisms are configured to cooperate to tidy the battery cells located at the tidying station.

[0089] The driving assembly is configured to drive the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod to move toward the regularization station along the first direction to drive the sliding seat to move synchronously, so that the battery cells located at the regularization station enter the regularization space and are pressed against the regularization blocks of another set of regularization mechanisms by the regularization blocks to regularize the positions of the battery cells in the first direction.

[0090] The driving assembly is configured to continue to drive the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod to move toward the regularization station, so that the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are compressed and rotated to drive the first regularization clamping assembly and the second regularization clamping assembly to clamp the battery cell along the second direction to regularize the position of the battery cell in the second direction, and the spring is compressed and contracted.

[0091] It can be seen that, through the cooperation of the two regularization mechanisms, the battery cell conveying device provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes the conveyance of battery cells and completes the regularization of battery cells during the conveying process. In particular, the regularization mechanism can regularize the battery cells perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor line, and can also regularize the position of the battery cells along the conveying direction of the conveyor line.
