Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of power battery pack transportation, in particular to a power battery pack transportation device with an anti-collision function. Background Art

[0002] Power batteries are the power source that provides power for tools, mostly referring to the batteries that power electric vehicles, electric trains, electric bicycles, and golf carts. In the power battery pack processing production line, power batteries need to be transferred from one processing line to another.

[0003] The applicant found that in the power battery processing production lines, most of them still use manual handling. Due to the heavy weight of the power battery pack, it is very manpower-consuming during the transportation process, and there is also the possibility of injury accidents. Some also use robotic arms with electric grippers for transportation, but the power batteries may have the problem of tilting during placement. Since the robotic arms work according to the program, it is easy to damage the power batteries in the process of the robotic arms driving the electric grippers to clamp the batteries, which results in poor safety.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0021] Reference Figure 1-4 A power battery pack handling device with anti-collision function includes: a support frame 1; a three-axis transfer assembly for adjusting the battery position, which includes an X-axis moving mechanism, a Y-axis moving mechanism, and a Z-axis moving mechanism. The handling assembly is installed on the Z-axis moving mechanism. The X-axis moving mechanism includes a first I-beam rail 2 and a first trolley 21. The first I-beam rail 2 is two and is installed on the top of the support frame 1 in the transverse direction. The wheel body of the first trolley 21 is partially slidably arranged in the first I-beam rail 2. The Y-axis moving mechanism includes a second I-beam rail 3 and a second trolley 31 slidably arranged in the second I-beam rail 3. The second I-beam rail is arranged at the bottom end of the first I-beam rail 2 in the longitudinal direction, and the two ends of the second I-beam rail 3 are respectively connected to the two first I-beam rails. The vehicle 21 is connected, and the Z-axis moving mechanism includes a Z-axis electric guide rail 4 arranged vertically, and the Z-axis electric guide rail 4 is installed at the bottom end of the second traveling vehicle 31. A Z-axis slider 41 is slidingly arranged on the Z-axis electric guide rail 4, and a three-axis transfer assembly is designed on the conveying assembly, which can conveniently move the conveying assembly to any position in the three-dimensional space, so that the battery can be placed in any position and any angle and can be adjusted accordingly for conveying operation, which has stronger applicability. Moreover, the cooperation of the three-axis transfer assembly and the conveying assembly during conveying can also save manpower consumed during conveying.

[0022] The electric guide rail is a well-known technology, and how to realize the up and down movement of the slider 41 will not be elaborated here.

[0023] Furthermore, the transport assembly includes an electric rotating seat 11, a mounting seat 5 and an electric clamp 12 installed at the bottom of the mounting seat 5. Upward-inclined armrests 6 are installed at both ends of the mounting seat 5. The armrests 6 can facilitate the staff to move the transport assembly to any position in the three-dimensional space of the support frame 1. When the position adjustment is completed, the Z-axis electric guide rail 4 drives the electric clamp 12 to descend, and the battery can be clamped. After clamping, the Z-axis electric guide rail 4 rises, and then the battery is transported to the desired workstation through the three-axis transfer assembly.

[0024] The outer end of the armrest 6 may also be covered with a silicone sleeve (not shown) to improve the comfort of the staff when holding the armrest 6.

[0025] Furthermore, a camera 10 for collecting images facing downward is provided at the bottom center of the mounting base 5 (it does not interfere with the electric clamp 12), and a console 8 electrically connected to the camera 10 is provided at the highest end of the armrest 6. The console 8 has a display screen and control buttons. The image data collected by the camera 10 is displayed through the display screen. A camera 10 is designed at the bottom of the mounting base 5. During the movement, the camera 10 can be used to collect images of the battery position, and then the position of the transport component is adjusted according to the position of the battery image, so that the operator can find the correct position of the battery and avoid damaging the battery during subsequent clamping.

[0026] Furthermore, the electric rotating seat 11 is installed at the top center of the mounting seat 5, and the rotating end of the electric rotating seat 11 is connected to the Z-axis slider 41. When the battery is tilted, the electric rotating seat 11 can be used to rotate the angle of the electric clamp 12 accordingly until it matches the placement angle of the battery, so that the clamping operation can be achieved. After clamping, it can also be rotated to the correct angle through the electric rotating seat 11.

[0027] Furthermore, the inner end surface of the claw body of the electric clamp 12 is bonded with a silicone pad 9. The designed silicone pad 9 can buffer and protect the contact part when the claw body of the electric clamp 12 contacts the product, thereby preventing the product from deforming during transportation.

[0028] Furthermore, a proximity switch 7 is provided at the bottom end of the mounting base 5, which is arranged downward. The distance between the electric clamp 12 and the battery is monitored by the proximity switch 7 to prevent the electric clamp 12 from damaging the battery when the electric clamp 12 moves downward. The sensing distance of the proximity switch 7 is not described in detail here. It only needs to be designed so that the proximity switch 7 can sense the battery when the electric clamp 12 can clamp the battery and the battery is not in contact with the main body of the electric clamp 12 and the camera 10.

[0029] The proximity switch 7 , the electric gripper 12 , the electric rotating seat 11 and the Z-axis electric guide rail 4 are all controlled by the control console 8 , and the overall operation is controlled by the control console 8 .

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
