Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of lithium battery manufacturing equipment, and in particular to an automatic tray feeding mechanism of a battery steel shell tray loading machine. Background Art

[0002] Battery steel shell tray loading machines are widely used in the battery manufacturing process. Their primary function is to transport battery steel shells from the production line to a designated location and neatly stack them on pallets. With the rapid development of the new energy industry, the demand for battery production continues to grow, and the need for efficient and stable automated equipment is becoming increasingly urgent.

[0003] At present, the loading of battery steel shell tray loading machines is mostly completed through automated operations. However, when replacing the trays that hold the battery steel shells, there is still a situation where the trays are offset or fall off, which requires manual adjustment, resulting in reduced production efficiency and increased labor costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems and provide an automatic tray feeding mechanism for a battery steel shell tray loading machine, which can improve the efficiency and stability of tray feeding while reducing labor costs.

[0005] The present application provides an automatic tray feeding mechanism for a battery steel shell tray loading machine, which adopts the following scheme:

[0006] An automatic tray feeding mechanism of a battery steel shell tray loading machine comprises: a frame; a first conveying component, horizontally arranged on the frame, for conveying trays; a clamping and flipping component, comprising a first accommodating slot part, a movable clamping part and a flipping driving part, the first accommodating slot part being fixed on the frame and provided with a first limiting slot docked with the first conveying component, the movable clamping part being located above the first accommodating slot part and for movably clamping the tray, one end of the flipping driving part being fixed on the frame, and the other end being obliquely telescopically connected to the first accommodating slot part; a tray flipping part being located below the clamping and flipping component, and provided with a placement slot for accommodating the tray relative to the first accommodating slot part.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the automated conveying and flipping of pallets is realized, which improves production efficiency and reduces labor costs. Specifically, the first conveying component can stably convey the pallet to ensure that the pallet accurately enters the subsequent processing link. The clamping and flipping component achieves precise positioning and reliable clamping of the pallet through the cooperation of the first accommodating groove member and the movable clamping member, preventing the pallet from shifting or falling during the flipping process. The inclined telescopic design of the flipping drive member makes the pallet flipping action smoother, reduces impact force, and increases the service life of the equipment. The placement slot design of the pallet flipping member can ensure the stable placement of the pallet after flipping, avoiding position deviation caused by shaking.

[0008] Optionally, it also includes: a transplanting assembly, located between the first accommodating groove part and the pallet flipping part, the transplanting assembly includes a second accommodating groove part, a movable driving part and a telescopic blocking part, the movable driving part is fixed on the frame and connected to the second accommodating groove part, the telescopic blocking part is located below the second accommodating groove part for movably abutting the pallet; the pallet flipping parts are arranged in two side by side, and the movable driving part is used to drive the first accommodating groove part to move back and forth above the two pallet flipping parts.

[0009] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, the precise transfer of pallets between different positions can be achieved, improving the degree of automation and work efficiency. Specifically, the setting of the transplanting assembly enables the stable transfer of pallets between the first accommodating trough and the pallet flipping member, avoiding the errors and safety hazards caused by manual operation. At the same time, the use of the mobile drive member enables the first accommodating trough to move back and forth above the two pallet flipping members, ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the pallet between different workstations. The movable abutment function of the telescopic blocking member further enhances the stability of the pallet during transportation and reduces the risk of the pallet falling.

[0010] Optionally, the transplanting assembly further includes a first telescopic driving member, one end of which is fixed to the frame and the other end of which is a telescopic end connected to the telescopic blocking member.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the first telescopic driving member can accurately control the movement of the telescopic blocking member, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the pallet during the transplanting process, avoiding the displacement or falling of the pallet during the movement, and improving the reliability and production efficiency of the equipment.

[0012] Optionally, the clamping and flipping assembly further includes: a second telescopic driving member, fixed on the frame and connected to the movable clamping member, for driving the movable clamping member to move up and down.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, precise clamping and flipping of the pallet can be achieved, improving automation and work efficiency. Specifically, the provision of the second telescopic drive member enables precise vertical control of the movable clamping member, ensuring that the pallet remains stable during the clamping process and avoiding operational errors or damage caused by position deviation.

[0014] Optionally, the clamping and flipping assembly further includes: a horizontal moving member, which is arranged on the first accommodating groove member and connected to the second telescopic driving member, and is used to drive the movable clamping member to move in a horizontal linear direction.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the movable clamping member can move simultaneously in the vertical and horizontal directions, achieving more flexible pallet grabbing and releasing actions. Specifically, the introduction of the horizontal moving member enables the movable clamping member to move precisely along the horizontal straight line, thereby better adapting to pallets of different sizes and positions, improving the applicability and working efficiency of the device. In addition, this multi-directional movement coordination can also reduce the complexity of the mechanical structure, reduce the failure rate, and improve the stability and reliability of the system.

[0016] Optionally, the first transmission component includes a rolling member, a mounting frame and a rotating drive member, the rolling member is provided in plurality and arranged side by side in the mounting frame, and both ends of the rolling member are provided with gears for being driven by the rotating drive member.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the first transmission assembly can achieve efficient and stable transmission of pallets by configuring multiple rolling elements and a rotary drive element. The rolling elements are configured with gears at both ends to ensure good engagement with the rotary drive element, improving transmission accuracy and reliability.

[0018] Optionally, the transplanting assembly further includes: a connecting member, one end of which is movably connected to the movable driving member, and the other end of which is connected to the back side of the second accommodating groove member.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the connecting parts makes the structure of the transplanting assembly more stable and reliable, improves the stability and accuracy of the pallet during movement, and effectively avoids the risk of the pallet shifting or falling during movement.

[0020] Optionally, the entrance of the placement groove is set to be an inclined cutting angle.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the pallet can enter the placement slot more smoothly, effectively avoiding the jamming phenomenon caused by unreasonable angle design at the entrance, and improving the efficiency and reliability of pallet loading.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. The design of the movable clamping parts and the flipping driving parts in the clamping and flipping assembly can ensure the stability and accuracy of the pallet during the flipping process, prevent the pallet from deflecting or falling, and improve production efficiency;

[0032] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to imply or suggest relative importance or implicitly indicate the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0033] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2, which is an automatic tray feeding mechanism of a battery steel shell tray loading machine disclosed in an embodiment of the present application, includes a frame 10, a first conveying assembly 20, a clamping and flipping assembly 30 and a tray flipping member 40. The first conveying assembly 20 is horizontally arranged on the frame 10, and is used to transport the tray to the clamping and flipping assembly 30. The clamping and flipping assembly 30 is horizontally docked with the first conveying assembly 20 and is arranged on the frame 10, and is used to clamp and flip the transported tray, and when the clamping is released, the tray is transferred to the tray flipping member 40, thereby realizing automatic tray feeding for subsequent automatic loading and unloading of battery steel shells.

[0035] See also Figure 3 The first conveyor assembly 20 includes a roller 21, a mounting frame 22, and a rotary drive. The roller 21 is a roller-shaped element and is mounted side by side within the mounting frame 22. Gears 211 are located at both ends of the roller 21, which are driven by the rotary drive, thereby achieving efficient and stable transport of the pallets. The rotary drive can be a chain connected to a drive motor. The chain is mounted on gears 211, and the chain drives the roller 21 to rotate under the drive motor, thereby achieving the transport of the pallets.

[0036] The clamping and flipping assembly 30 includes a first accommodating groove member 31, a movable clamping member 32, a second telescopic driving member 33, a horizontal moving member 34 and a flipping driving member 35. The side of the first accommodating groove member 31 is fixed on the frame 10, and a first limiting groove 311 is provided on the first accommodating groove member 31 to dock with the first conveying assembly 20 to facilitate receiving the pallet conveyed by the first conveying assembly 20.

[0037] The movable clamping member 32 is located above the first receiving slot 31 and is used to clamp the pallet via a lifting mechanism. A second telescopic actuator 33, a telescopic cylinder, is connected to the movable clamping member 32 and is used to drive the movable clamping member 32 upward and downward, thereby clamping and releasing the pallet. Furthermore, the configuration of the second telescopic actuator 33 enables precise vertical control, ensuring the pallet remains stable during the clamping process and preventing operational errors or damage due to positional deviations.

[0038] The horizontal moving member 34 is mounted on the first receiving groove 31 and connected to the second telescopic drive member 33, driving the movable clamping member 32 in a horizontal, linear motion. Thus, the movable clamping member 32, through the arrangement of the second telescopic drive member 33 and the horizontal moving member 34, can move both vertically and horizontally, enabling more flexible pallet grabbing and releasing. The horizontal moving member 34 can be driven by either a rotary motor or a telescopic cylinder, though this is not specifically defined.

[0039] The flip drive 35 is a telescopic cylinder, one end of which is fixed to the frame 10, and the other end is a telescopic end that is tilted and telescopically connected to the first accommodating groove 31. The tilted telescopic design of the flip drive 35 makes the pallet flipping action smoother, reduces the impact force, and improves the service life of the equipment. The pallet flipping member 40 is located below the clamping flip assembly 30, and is provided with a placement groove 41 for accommodating the pallet relative to the first accommodating groove 31, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the tray turning member 40 is vertically arranged, and the corresponding tray placed in the placement slot 41 is also vertically arranged.

[0040] In addition, it is worth mentioning that two pallet flipping members 40 are arranged side by side. In order to ensure that the pallet can be placed reciprocatingly in the two pallet flipping members 40, in this embodiment, a transplanting assembly 50 is also provided, which is located between the first accommodating groove member 31 and the pallet flipping member 40.

[0041] The transplanting assembly 50 includes a second accommodating groove 51, a mobile driving member 52, a connecting member 53, a telescopic blocking member 54, and a first telescopic driving member 55. The mobile driving member 52 is a linear slide module, fixed to the frame 10 and connected to the back of the second accommodating groove 51 via the connecting member 53. The movement of the mobile driving member 52 drives the second accommodating groove 51 to move. The telescopic blocking member 54 is located below the second accommodating groove 51 and is connected to the first telescopic driving member 55. It is used to abut the tray under the telescopic action of the first telescopic driving member 55 to control the tray from sliding. Here, the first telescopic driving member 55 can be understood as a telescopic cylinder, and the telescopic blocking member 54 can be understood as a baffle.

[0042] Specifically, when the tray flips and slides into the second accommodating groove part 51 through the first accommodating groove part 31, the telescopic end of the first telescopic driving member 55 extends to drive the telescopic blocking member 54 to extend from the lower end of the second accommodating groove part 51 to serve as a baffle at the lower end of the tray; when the transplanting assembly 50 moves to the target position based on the moving driving member 52, the telescopic end of the first telescopic driving member 55 is controlled to be retracted, driving the telescopic blocking member 54 to be retracted from the lower end of the second accommodating groove part 51, so that the tray slides into the placement groove 41 of the tray flipping member 40 based on gravity.

[0043] Among them, in order to make the tray enter the placement slot 41 more smoothly, in this embodiment, the entrance of the placement slot 41 is set to an inclined angle, which can effectively avoid the jamming phenomenon caused by unreasonable entrance angle design and improve the efficiency and reliability of tray loading.

[0044] To sum up, the automatic tray feeding mechanism of a battery steel shell tray loading machine disclosed in the embodiment of the present application can effectively prevent the tray from shifting or falling during the flipping process through the design of the movable clamping part 32 and the flipping driving part 35 in the clamping and flipping assembly 30, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the tray and improving production efficiency; the coordinated work of the first conveying assembly 20 and the clamping and flipping assembly 30 realizes the automatic transportation and precise positioning of the tray, greatly reduces manual intervention and reduces labor costs; the tray flipping parts 40 are arranged as two side by side, and the setting of the transplanting assembly 50 is coordinated to realize the precise transfer of the tray between different positions, thereby improving the degree of automation and work efficiency.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit them. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
