Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of conveying equipment, in particular to a clamping assembly for battery pole groups. Background Art

[0002] In modern industry and daily life, batteries are widely used as an important energy storage device. With the development of science and technology, the types and functions of batteries are constantly enriched, including lead-acid batteries and lithium-ion batteries. They play a key role in many fields such as vehicle starting, emergency power supply, and renewable energy storage. The scale of battery production is also expanding to meet the growing market demand.

[0003] In the battery production process, the handling of electrode groups is one of the key links. Currently, the feeding link of electrode groups mainly adopts a conveyor belt with a trough. This conveyor belt is designed to accommodate and transport electrode groups. Its trough structure can stably carry the electrode groups to move on the production line. The electrode groups are fixed and limited in the trough by clamps, providing material conveying function for subsequent processing operations. Through the continuous operation of the conveyor belt, the electrode groups can be transported from one production location to the next in an orderly manner according to the settings of the production process, ensuring the continuity of production. Finally, one or more pickers are arranged at fixed points of the conveying equipment to remove the electrode groups from the conveying equipment and stack them in the corresponding work area.

[0004] However, the above equipment still has certain shortcomings. When workers pick up the pole groups, the conveying equipment is in continuous operation. When the picking personnel operate slowly, the bottom of the pole group is easily stuck inside the trough when it is pulled upward from the trough. This situation may cause the pole group to be bent, thereby increasing the defective rate, affecting production efficiency and product quality, and may also cause material waste and increase production costs. Moreover, if this situation occurs frequently, it may also cause certain damage to the trough structure of the conveyor belt, affecting the normal service life of the equipment and the subsequent production operation stability. Utility Model Content

[0005] Based on this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a clamping assembly for battery pole groups to solve the technical problems mentioned in the above background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a clamping assembly for battery pole groups, comprising a conveying device body, wherein a plurality of material placement assemblies are equidistantly mounted on the upper surface of the conveying device body;

[0007] The material loading assembly includes multiple groups of trough buckets embedded in the upper surface of the conveying equipment body, a partition is fixedly installed at the middle position of the inner wall of the trough bucket, the partition divides the inner wall of the trough bucket into two movable grooves, the inner walls at both ends of the trough bucket are slidably connected with supporting plates, the inner wall of one side of the trough bucket and the outer wall of one side of the partition are hinged with buckle plates, the outer walls of the bottom ends of both sides of the trough bucket are provided with through grooves, the inner wall of the conveying equipment body and the lower part of the two groups of supporting plates are rotatably connected with a swing arm, one end of the swing arm is installed with a second roller through a bearing, the other end of the swing arm is inserted with a fixed shaft, and the outer wall of the fixed shaft is sleeved with a counterweight cylinder.

[0008] By adopting this technical solution, the hopper is first transported to a fixed workstation using conveying equipment. The counterweight cylinder then rotates the swing arm. Because the counterweight cylinder is heavier than the pole group and pallet, the second roller pushes against the pallet to move upward, automatically moving the pole group upwards. This facilitates quick picking by workers and improves picking efficiency. While workers are picking, the upward movement and withdrawal of the pole group while the transport equipment is in operation compresses the gusset plate, leaving space for movement and preventing bending. This improves picking safety and reduces the defective rate. The torsion spring is simultaneously tightened to prepare for reset. During transport, the gusset plate and torsion spring clamp and secure the pole group, reducing shaking, ensuring stability and safety, and optimizing production process efficiency and quality.

[0009] Furthermore, the outer walls on both sides of the support plate are fixedly connected to the limiting sliders at diagonal positions, and the inner walls on both sides of the trough are provided with limiting grooves of matching sizes at the contact positions with the limiting sliders.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting slider can cooperate with the limiting groove to limit the pallet, thereby ensuring the stability of the pallet when moving up and down.

[0011] Furthermore, a torsion spring is installed at the hinge shaft of the gusset plate, and the two ends of the torsion spring are respectively fixed to the gusset plate and the inner wall of the trough bucket. Two sets of first rollers are symmetrically installed on the top outer wall of the gusset plate through a rotating bearing.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the torsion spring can provide the gusset plate with power for rotational resetting, so that the gusset plate can always clamp the pole group and fix it.

[0013] Furthermore, the cross-section of the swing arm is a pointed cone with one end being larger and the other end being smaller, and the second roller is mounted on the smaller end.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the larger end of the swing arm is heavier than the other end, ensuring that the second roller can always be located at the top.

[0015] Furthermore, a through hole with a matching aperture is provided at the position where the other end of the swing arm contacts the fixed shaft, and nuts are threadedly connected at both ends of the fixed shaft.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the two ends of the fixed shaft are fixed by nuts, and the counterweight cylinder is limited.

[0017] Furthermore, the outer wall of the second roller contacts the lower surface of the supporting plate, and the surfaces of the first roller and the second roller are both covered with soft rubber anti-slip sleeves.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the surfaces of the first roller and the second roller are covered with soft rubber anti-slip sleeves to provide a buffer for the contact surface of the pole group, preventing excessive squeezing force from damaging the pole group, while increasing friction and preventing slipping from affecting the linkage effect.

[0019] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] The utility model uses conveying equipment to transport the trough bucket to a fixed workstation. At this time, the counterweight cylinder drives the swing arm to rotate. Because the counterweight cylinder is heavier than the pole group and the pallet, the second roller pushes against the pallet to move up, causing the pole group to automatically move upward, facilitating quick picking by workers and improving picking efficiency. When workers pick up, the pole group moves upward and out while the transport equipment is in operation, squeezing the gusset plate, leaving space for it to move, preventing bending, improving picking safety, and reducing the defective rate. The torsion spring is simultaneously tightened to prepare for reset. During transportation, the gusset plate and torsion spring can clamp and fix the pole group, reducing shaking, ensuring stability and safety, and optimizing production process efficiency and quality.

[0026] 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. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0027] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention based on its overall structure.

[0028] A clamping assembly for battery pole groups, such as Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, it includes a conveying device body 1, and a plurality of material placement components 2 are evenly installed on the upper surface of the conveying device body 1;

[0029] The material loading assembly 2 includes multiple groups of trough buckets 21 embedded in the upper surface of the conveying equipment body 1. A partition 29 is fixedly installed at the middle position of the inner wall of the trough bucket 21. The partition 29 divides the inner wall of the trough bucket 21 into two movable grooves. The inner walls at both ends of the trough bucket 21 are slidably connected with a support plate 22. The inner wall of one side of the trough bucket 21 and the outer wall of one side of the partition 29 are hinged with a buckle plate 23. The outer walls of the bottom ends of both sides of the trough bucket 21 are provided with through grooves 212. The inner wall of the conveying equipment body 1 and the lower part of the two groups of support plates 22 are rotatably connected with a swing arm 25. One end of the swing arm 25 is installed with a second roller 26 through a bearing, and the other end of the swing arm 25 is inserted with a fixed shaft 27. The outer wall of the fixed shaft 27 is sleeved with a counterweight cylinder 28.

[0030] The utility model first uses the conveying equipment to transport the trough 21 to the fixed work station, and the counterweight cylinder 28 drives the swing arm 25 to rotate. When the second roller 26 contacts the support plate 22, since the weight of the counterweight cylinder 28 is greater than the weight of the pole group and the support plate 22, the second roller 26 moves up against the support plate 22, so that the pole group automatically moves up at the fixed point, which makes it convenient for the picking workers to quickly take out the pole group, and effectively improves the picking efficiency.

[0031] When workers are picking up the pole groups, even if the transport equipment is in operation, when the pole groups are moved up and pulled out, the pinch plates 23 will be squeezed, thereby reserving sufficient space for the pole groups to be pulled out, avoiding the pole groups from being stuck and bent, improving the safety of picking up, and reducing the defective rate. At the same time, the torsion spring is tightened to prepare for resetting the pinch plates 23. In addition, when conveying the pole groups, the pinch plates 23 cooperate with the torsion spring to conveniently clamp and fix the pole groups, reducing their shaking frequency, ensuring the stability and safety of the pole group conveying, and further optimizing the efficiency and quality of the entire production process.

[0032] See also Figure 1 - Figure 4 The diagonal positions of the outer walls on both sides of the support plate 22 are fixedly connected to the limiting sliders 221, and the inner walls on both sides of the trough 21 are provided with limiting grooves 211 of matching sizes at the contact positions with the limiting sliders 221. By setting the above structure, the utility model can limit the support plate 22 in conjunction with the limiting grooves 211 to ensure the stability of the support plate 22 when it moves up and down.

[0033] See also Figure 1 - Figure 4A torsion spring is installed at the hinge axis of the pinch plate 23, and the two ends of the torsion spring are respectively fixed to the pinch plate 23 and the inner wall of the trough bucket 21. Two groups of first rollers 24 are symmetrically installed on the outer wall of the top end of the pinch plate 23 through a rotating bearing. By setting the above structure, the utility model can provide the pinch plate 23 with the power of rotation and reset, so that the pinch plate 23 can always clamp the pole group and fix it.

[0034] See also Figure 2 - Figure 4 The cross-sectional shape of the swing arm 25 is a pointed cone with one end larger than the other, and the second roller 26 is installed at the smaller end. By setting the above structure, the utility model makes the larger end of the swing arm 25 heavier than the other end, ensuring that the second roller 26 can always be located at the top.

[0035] See also Figure 1 - Figure 4 A through hole of matching aperture is opened at the contact position between the other end of the swing arm 25 and the fixed shaft 27, and both ends of the fixed shaft 27 are threadedly connected with nuts. By setting the above structure, the utility model fixes the two ends of the fixed shaft 27 through nuts and limits the counterweight cylinder 28.

[0036] See also Figure 2 - Figure 4 The outer wall of the second roller 26 contacts the lower surface of the support plate 22, and the surfaces of the first roller 24 and the second roller 26 are both covered with soft rubber anti-slip sleeves. By setting the above structure, the utility model provides a buffer for the contact surface of the pole group to prevent the pole group from being damaged by excessive squeezing force, and at the same time improves friction to prevent slipping from affecting the linkage effect.

[0037] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: first, when the conveying equipment transports the trough bucket 21 to the fixed work station, the counterweight cylinder 28 drives the swing arm 25 to rotate. When the second roller 26 contacts the support plate 22, since the weight of the counterweight cylinder 28 is greater than the weight of the electrode group and the support plate 22, the second roller 26 moves upward against the support plate 22, so that the electrode group automatically moves upward at the fixed point, making it convenient for the picking workers to quickly take out the electrode group, effectively improving the picking efficiency;

[0038] When workers are picking up the pole groups, even if the transport equipment is in operation, when the pole groups are moved up and pulled out, the pinch plates 23 will be squeezed, thereby reserving sufficient space for the pole groups to be pulled out, avoiding the pole groups from being stuck and bent, improving the safety of picking up, and reducing the defective rate. At the same time, the torsion spring is tightened to prepare for resetting the pinch plates 23. In addition, when conveying the pole groups, the pinch plates 23 cooperate with the torsion spring to conveniently clamp and fix the pole groups, reducing their shaking frequency, ensuring the stability and safety of the pole group conveying, and further optimizing the efficiency and quality of the entire production process.
