Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of lithium-ion battery equipment, in particular to a carrier positioning and calibration fixture. Background Art

[0002] In the new energy lithium battery industry, users are increasingly demanding higher-quality products. The 18650 cylindrical lithium battery is poised to be replaced in the automotive industry by 21700 and even larger cylindrical lithium batteries, which offer larger capacity, higher charge and discharge efficiency, and lower charge and discharge power consumption. This trend, which has occurred in just a few years, demonstrates the importance of rapidly and efficiently manufacturing equipment that meets the requirements of lithium battery products in today's market. Simultaneously, influenced by emerging technologies and products from abroad, domestic lithium battery manufacturers must continuously improve their manufacturing capabilities and product quality to maintain their market competitiveness. Therefore, learning advanced technologies and applying them to their own production practices has become a pursuit for both companies and individuals. The 21700 full-tab cylindrical battery is a product of this environment. Furthermore, it is just one of many new products. The rapid surge in demand for new products, coupled with the need to reliably manufacture them, has placed higher demands on equipment manufacturers. Product diversity necessitates greater compatibility in equipment to reduce manufacturing cycles and costs. Therefore, the original intention of the technology described in this article is to manufacture flexibly adjustable equipment or mechanisms that can be used on a variety of devices.

[0003] Conveyor lines are the most commonly used mechanism in lithium battery production equipment, operating throughout the entire production process, transporting battery cells from one process step to another. Within the same equipment, the transfer mechanism for transferring battery cells and some materials is typically a motor-driven chain conveyor line. Its stability is affected by the multiple workstations it passes through, and the stability of these multiple workstations is also affected by its positioning accuracy. To account for these factors, some equipment will establish a fixed station at one of the conveyor lines as a calibration station for the conveyor line and its carriers. This station is used to calibrate the conveyor line after a jam or deviation, or to periodically verify the conveyor line's position.

[0004] The positioning and calibration mechanism is usually fixed on the conveyor line, and space must be reserved for its placement at the beginning of the equipment design. Therefore, when some equipment does not consider the positioning of the conveyor line, this mechanism cannot be installed. Or, due to factors such as the large impact of the installation, high cost, long construction period, and high difficulty, the installation is abandoned. The conveyor line original position and the position of the carrier on the conveyor line can only be adjusted based on the experience of the on-site debugging personnel.

[0005] In view of the above situation, the present invention provides a positioning and calibration fixture for a conveyor line carrier, which solves the problem of positioning and calibration of the conveyor line carrier at a relatively low cost. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a carrier positioning and calibration fixture, so as to be able to position and calibrate the carriers of a conveyor line used for battery production.

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: a carrier positioning and calibration fixture, including a mounting connector, a flipping mechanism and a carrier calibration mechanism, the mounting connector is provided with a flipping mechanism, the flipping portion of the flipping mechanism is connected to the carrier calibration mechanism, the flipping mechanism drives the carrier calibration mechanism to rotate between a standby position and a calibration position, the carrier calibration mechanism includes a calibration base and a calibration end head, the calibration base is provided with an adjustment guide, the calibration end head is provided on the adjustment guide and moves and adjusts along the direction defined by the adjustment guide. The mounting connector can be used to install the fixture as a whole to the appropriate position of the frame of the conveyor line, and then the carrier calibration mechanism is used to position and calibrate the carrier according to the position of the carrier on the conveyor line.

[0008] As an optional solution, two calibration tips are provided. These tips are mounted on an adjustment guide and move along the direction defined by the adjustment guide. A carrier calibration area is defined between the two calibration tips. The two calibration tips work together to achieve precise positioning and calibration of the carrier.

[0009] As an optional solution, the adjustment guide is a connecting waist hole. The connecting waist hole is provided on the calibration end surface of the calibration base, with its length parallel to the tilting axis of the tilting mechanism. The calibration tip is connected to the connecting waist hole and moves along the connecting waist hole. The calibration tip is mounted to the calibration base via the connecting waist hole and can be moved and adjusted along the connecting waist hole to accommodate various carrier specifications.

[0010] As an optional solution, a guide waist hole is provided on the calibration end face of the calibration base, the connecting waist hole is provided in the guide waist hole, and the calibration end head extends into the guide waist hole and is connected to the connecting waist hole.

[0011] As an optional solution, a fastening bolt is passed through the connecting waist hole, and the fastening bolt is connected to the calibration end.

[0012] As an optional solution, the flipping mechanism includes a flipping seat and a flipping shaft. The flipping shaft is arranged on the flipping seat and rotates relative to the flipping seat. A connecting part is provided on the flipping shaft, which is connected to the calibration base and has a flipping limit part. When the carrier calibration mechanism flips to the calibration position, the flipping limit part interferes with the flipping seat.

[0013] As an optional solution, the mounting connector is a magnetic meter stand.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: the carrier positioning and calibration fixture of the present invention can be connected to the body of the conveyor line, and can position and calibrate each carrier of the conveyor line. When in use, there is no need to modify the conveyor line, nor does it need to occupy too much space. It is easy to use, has little impact on the original production line, and is low in cost. It can solve the positioning and calibration of the carrier position on the conveyor line in a low-cost, low-impact and efficient manner. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example

[0021] A carrier positioning and calibration fixture, such as Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, it includes a mounting connector 1, a flipping mechanism 2 and a carrier calibration mechanism 3. The mounting connector 1 can be a mounting base plate structure with bolt connection holes or a magnet, which is connected to the body of the conveyor line 4 by bolt connection or magnetic attraction. The mounting connector 1 is preferably a magnetic base, which facilitates the adsorption of the mounting connector 1 to the body of the conveyor line 4 and facilitates the adjustment of the position of the mounting connector 1. The mounting connector 1 is provided with a flipping mechanism 2, and the flipping part of the flipping mechanism 2 is connected to the carrier calibration mechanism 3. The flipping mechanism 2 can drive the carrier calibration mechanism 3 to flip relative to the mounting connector 1, so that the carrier calibration mechanism 3 rotates between a standby position and a calibration position. When the carrier calibration mechanism 3 is in the standby position, the carrier calibration mechanism 3 is in a position away from the carrier on the conveyor line 4, and the conveyor line 4 can operate normally. When the carrier calibration mechanism 3 is in the calibration position, the carrier calibration mechanism 3 is in a position close to the carrier on the conveyor line 4. At this time, the carrier calibration mechanism 3 can cooperate with the carrier to position and calibrate the carrier.

[0022] The carrier calibration mechanism 3 comprises a calibration base 31 and calibration tips 32. Calibration base 31 is provided with an adjustment guide. Each calibration tip 32 is mounted on the adjustment guide and can be moved and adjusted along the direction defined by the adjustment guide. Depending on the specifications of the carriers on the conveyor line 4, the position of each calibration tip 32 can be pre-adjusted on calibration base 31. This ensures that when the carrier calibration mechanism 3 is in the calibration position, each calibration tip 32 can align with the carriers on the conveyor line 4 to calibrate the carriers on the conveyor line 4.

[0023] See also Figure 3 When positioning and calibrating the carriers of the conveyor line 4, the mounting connector 1 is connected to the appropriate position of the body of the conveyor line 4 so that the carrier calibration mechanism 3 does not contact the carriers of the conveyor line 4 when it is flipped to the standby position, and the carrier calibration mechanism 3 can contact the carriers of the conveyor line 4 and calibrate the carriers when it is flipped to the calibration position. The position of the calibration end 32 is adjusted, and the carrier calibration mechanism 3 calibrates the carrier when it is in the calibration position. When the conveyor line 4 drives a carrier to move to the position corresponding to the carrier calibration mechanism 3, the conveyor line 4 stops, the carrier calibration mechanism 3 flips from the standby position to the calibration position and positions and calibrates the corresponding carrier, and then the carrier calibration mechanism 3 flips from the calibration position to the standby position. After that, the conveyor line 4 drives the next carrier that needs to be calibrated to move to the position corresponding to the carrier calibration mechanism 3. The carrier calibration mechanism 3 flips from the standby position to the calibration position and positions and calibrates the corresponding carrier. The above steps are repeated, and finally all the carriers that need to be positioned and calibrated on the conveyor line 4 are positioned and calibrated.

[0024] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2There are two calibration tips 32, both mounted on an adjustment guide and capable of movement along the direction defined by the adjustment guide. A carrier calibration area is defined between the two calibration tips 32. When the carrier calibration mechanism 3 is flipped to the calibration position, the carrier to be calibrated is located within the carrier calibration area and is calibrated using the two calibration tips 32.

[0025] Specifically, the adjustment guide is a connecting waist hole 33, and the end face of the calibration base 31 away from the flipping mechanism 2 is the calibration end face. A connecting waist hole 33 is provided on the calibration end face. The length direction of the connecting waist hole 33 is parallel to the flipping axis of the flipping mechanism 2. The calibration end head 32 is connected to the connecting waist hole 33 by a fastening bolt or a connecting slider and other structures. Each calibration end head 32 can be moved and adjusted along the length direction of the connecting waist hole 33.

[0026] For further information, see Figure 3 A guide waist hole 34 is provided on the calibration end surface of the calibration base 31. The length direction of the guide waist hole 34 is parallel to the tilting axis of the tilting mechanism 2. A connecting waist hole 33 is provided within the guide waist hole 34. The calibration end head 32 extends into the guide waist hole 34 and connects to the connecting waist hole 33. A fastening bolt is passed through the connecting waist hole 33 and connected to the calibration end head 32. After adjusting the position of the calibration end head 32 along the guide waist hole 34, the fastening bolt is rotated. The fastening bolt engages with the calibration base 31, thereby fixing the position of the calibration end head 32.

[0027] The flipping mechanism 2 includes a flipping seat and a flipping shaft. A connecting ear plate is provided on the flipping seat. The flipping shaft is rotatably connected to the connecting ear plate. The flipping shaft can rotate relative to the connecting ear plate and the flipping seat. A connecting part is provided on the flipping shaft. The connecting part can be in the form of a connecting block, a connecting rod, etc. connected to the flipping shaft. The connecting part is connected to the calibration base 31. The connecting part is also provided with a flip limiting part. When the carrier calibration mechanism 3 flips to the calibration position, the flip limiting part just flips to a position that conflicts with the flipping seat, thereby avoiding position offset when the carrier calibration mechanism 3 calibrates the carrier.

[0028] As an optional embodiment, the flip mechanism 2 can also be used in conjunction with a flip driving member, the action portion of the flip driving member is connected to the flip shaft, and can drive the flip shaft to rotate to drive the carrier calibration mechanism 3 to flip.
