[0002] During the production process of batteries, acid addition operation is required. After acid addition, the batteries enter the formation workshop for formation (charging) operation. In the prior art, manual transportation is adopted, resulting in low transportation efficiency. As a result, the batteries after acid addition cannot be transported away in time, which easily causes product accumulation. In addition, when transporting the batteries to the formation workshop, manual handling of the batteries is still needed, with high labor costs, low efficiency, and low safety, affecting the efficiency of the formation operation. Therefore, a transfer device for battery formation is needed to solve the above technical problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] In view of the above defects existing in the prior art, the utility model provides a transfer device for battery formation, which includes a first belt conveyor.

The moving trolley includes a "C"-shaped bracket, and the bracket is arranged above the first belt conveyor through a vertical column. The open end of the bracket faces the second belt conveyor. A bearing plate is arranged on the bracket, and two sides of the bearing plate are connected with a first roller. The first roller is connected with a first drive (the first drive is a first stepping motor, and the connection and principle between the first stepping motor and the first roller are prior art. Specifically, reference can be made to the structure and connection of the wheels of a toy electric vehicle and its drive). A first guiding groove is arranged on the side wall of the bracket corresponding to the first roller, and the first roller is arranged to roll in the corresponding first guiding groove. A guiding frame cooperating with the bracket is arranged above the second belt conveyor, and a second guiding groove connecting with the first guiding groove is arranged on the guiding frame.

[0004] A fixing plate is arranged below the bearing plate, and a vertical first lead screw is fixed at the center of the fixing plate. The upper end of the first lead screw penetrates through the center of the bearing plate. A first bevel gear is arranged at the center of the bearing plate. The first bevel gear is rotatably connected with the bearing plate through a bearing. A screw hole is arranged at the center of the first bevel gear, and the first lead screw passes through the screw hole and is in threaded cooperation with the first bevel gear. The first bevel gear meshes with a second bevel gear, and the second bevel gear is connected with a first forward and reverse motor. The first forward and reverse motor is fixed on the bearing plate. Four corners of the fixing plate are respectively connected with the bearing plate through vertical telescopic sleeves. The clamping member is arranged on the lower surface of the fixing plate.

[0005] Belt conveyor 1 transports the batteries after acid addition, and belt conveyor 2 provides an operating platform for the formation operation of the batteries after acid addition. The battery clamping piece clamps the battery, and the forward and reverse motor 1 drives the bevel gear 2 to rotate, and the bevel gear 2 drives the bevel gear 1 to rotate. The lead screw 1 drives the fixed plate to move up, and the clamped battery moves up accordingly. Then the driving roller 1 rotates, and the carrying plate moves along the guide groove 1 to the guide groove 2 of the guide frame under the action of the roller 1 until the battery is clamped above the belt conveyor 2. Then the fixed plate moves down and the battery is placed on the belt conveyor 2 for formation (charging) operation. The clamping piece releases the battery, the fixed plate moves up, and the carrying plate is reset to wait for the arrival of the next group of batteries.

[0006] Preferably, the clamping member includes a first clamping plate and a second clamping plate that cooperate with each other. The first clamping plate is fixedly connected to one end of a fixed plate. The upper end of the first clamping plate is provided with a second horizontal lead screw. One end of the lead screw is connected to a second forward and reverse motor. The second forward and reverse motor is fixed to the first clamping plate. The second clamping plate is threadedly engaged with the second lead screw. A limit plate is fixed to the top of the second clamping plate. A limit groove is provided on the fixed plate corresponding to the limit plate. The limit groove is parallel to the second lead screw. The limit plate slides in the limit groove. The second clamping plate reciprocates along the second lead screw by the forward and reverse rotation of the second forward and reverse motor.

[0007] Preferably, a connecting plate is fixed to the other end of the fixed plate away from the first clamping plate, one end of the second lead screw is rotatably connected to the connecting plate via a bearing, and a horizontal telescopic rod is provided on the connecting plate, with the fixed end of the horizontal telescopic rod being fixed to the connecting plate and the telescopic end of the horizontal telescopic rod facing the second clamping plate. The horizontal telescopic rod is an electric push rod or a hydraulic rod. This arrangement allows the horizontal telescopic rod to extend to press against the second clamping plate after the first and second clamping plates clamp the battery, thereby further stabilizing the clamping of the second and first clamping plates and preventing the battery from slipping.

[0008] Preferably, multiple belt conveyors 2 are provided, evenly distributed along the conveying direction of belt conveyor 1, and a guide frame that cooperates with the bracket is provided above each belt conveyor 2. This arrangement can provide multiple formation operation platforms for batteries, improving formation efficiency. Multiple belt conveyors 2 share a single transfer mechanism, thereby improving equipment utilization and reducing equipment costs.

[0011] Working Principle: Belt conveyor 1 transports batteries after acidification, while belt conveyor 2 provides an operating platform for the formation operation of the acidified batteries. The battery clamps hold the batteries. The forward and reverse motor 1 drives bevel gear 2 to rotate, which in turn drives bevel gear 1. Screw 1 drives the fixed plate upward, and the clamped batteries move upward accordingly. Then, drive roller 1 rotates. Under the action of roller 1, the load plate moves along guide groove 1 to guide groove 2 of the guide frame until the battery is clamped above belt conveyor 2. The fixed plate then moves down and the battery is placed on belt conveyor 2 for formation (charging). The clamp releases the battery, the fixed plate moves up, and the load plate returns to the top of belt conveyor 1. The transfer mechanism moves along belt conveyor 1, allowing the bracket to dock with the guide frame of different belt conveyor 2, and the battery is transported to belt conveyor 2. Multiple belt conveyors 2 share a single transfer mechanism, which improves equipment utilization and reduces equipment cost.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the acid-added batteries can be promptly transported by the first belt conveyor, and the transfer mechanism transfers the batteries to the corresponding second belt conveyor for formation operation.
