Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery sorting technology, and in particular to a battery loading and unloading mechanism and a battery sorting system. Background Technology

[0002] In battery production, the processed batteries need to be sorted to obtain batteries of different quality grades. After obtaining batteries of different quality grades, batteries of the same grade need to be loaded into the same battery tray to achieve separate collection and organization of batteries of different grades.

[0003] Currently, battery sorting systems require manual assistance for loading and unloading. For example, when loading batteries, the conventional method is for workers to manually lift the battery trays from a trolley and place them into the battery sorting system. This method requires workers to manually lift the battery trays and place them on the battery holders within the sorting system, which is prone to slipping and causing the battery trays to collide with the system. Furthermore, during manual handling, the trolley is prone to shaking, reducing efficiency and increasing the risk of battery damage from collisions. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a battery loading and unloading mechanism to prevent the trolley device from shaking during the battery loading and unloading process and to improve the efficiency of battery loading and unloading.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the battery loading and unloading mechanism proposed in this utility model includes:

[0006] Frame components;

[0007] The trolley device is equipped with a clamping block, and the clamping block is provided with a limit groove;

[0008] A clamping device is disposed on the frame assembly. The clamping device includes a locking seat assembly, a mounting plate assembly, and a cam follower. The locking seat assembly is disposed on the frame assembly, the mounting plate assembly is slidably disposed on the locking seat assembly, and the cam follower is disposed on the mounting plate assembly.

[0009] An elastic element is provided between the locking seat assembly and the mounting plate assembly. When the cam follower squeezes the clamping block, the mounting plate assembly can drive the cam follower to reciprocate under the force of the elastic element, so that the cam follower can be engaged or disengaged from the limiting groove.

[0010] Preferably, the locking seat assembly includes a locking seat and an adjusting block disposed on the locking seat, the mounting plate assembly includes a mounting plate and a bearing mounting seat, the mounting plate is slidably disposed on the locking seat, the cam follower is disposed on the mounting plate, and the bearing mounting seat is disposed on the mounting plate;

[0011] The adjusting block is disposed opposite to the bearing mounting seat, and a guide shaft is connected through the adjusting block and the bearing mounting seat. The elastic element is sleeved on the outer periphery of the guide shaft and disposed between the adjusting block and the bearing mounting seat.

[0012] Preferably, the elastic element is a spring.

[0013] Preferably, guide blocks are provided on both sides of the lower frame, and the trolley device enters between the two guide blocks through the guidance of the two guide blocks.

[0014] Preferably, the guide block is provided with a guide ramp, which gradually tilts toward the guide block on the opposite side from the direction away from the lower frame to the direction of approaching the lower frame.

[0015] Preferably, the locking seat is provided with a guide rail, and the bottom of the mounting plate is provided with a slide rail, the slide rail being slidably connected to the guide rail.

[0016] Preferably, the locking seat is provided with protruding posts and baffles. There are two protruding posts, which are located on both sides of the guide rail. The sliding range of the slide rail is defined by the protruding posts and the baffles.

[0017] Preferably, the limiting groove is semi-circular in shape.

[0018] Preferably, the frame assembly includes a lower frame and a driven roller mounted on the lower frame, and the trolley device includes a trolley frame and a conveying roller mounted on the trolley frame.

[0019] This utility model also proposes a battery sorting system, which includes a battery loading and unloading mechanism, the battery loading and unloading mechanism comprising:

[0020] Frame components;

[0021] The trolley device is equipped with a clamping block, and the clamping block is provided with a limit groove;

[0022] A clamping device is disposed on the frame assembly. The clamping device includes a locking seat assembly, a mounting plate assembly, and a cam follower. The locking seat assembly is disposed on the frame assembly, the mounting plate assembly is slidably disposed on the locking seat assembly, and the cam follower is disposed on the mounting plate assembly.

[0023] An elastic element is provided between the locking seat assembly and the mounting plate assembly. When the cam follower squeezes the clamping block, the mounting plate assembly can drive the cam follower to reciprocate under the force of the elastic element, so that the cam follower can be engaged or disengaged from the limiting groove.

[0024] Compared with existing technologies, the battery loading and unloading mechanism of this utility model, when used, involves the operator pushing the trolley device. When the cam follower on the frame assembly abuts against the clamping block of the trolley device, the elastic element undergoes buffer deformation. As the trolley device gradually aligns with the frame assembly, the elastic element is gradually released, generating elastic force that engages the cam follower within the limiting groove of the clamping block. The cam follower is locked in place, preventing the trolley device from shaking when pushing the battery tray onto the frame assembly, thus ensuring the stability of the loading and unloading. After battery loading or unloading is completed, the trolley device is pulled out, and the cam follower automatically disengages from the limiting groove of the clamping block, completing the unlocking process. This design, through the elastic element, enables the cam follower to reciprocate, allowing it to automatically engage within the limiting groove of the clamping block, preventing the trolley device from shaking during battery loading and unloading and improving the efficiency of battery loading and unloading.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model proposes a battery loading and unloading mechanism.

[0033] The battery loading and unloading mechanism includes a frame assembly 100 and a trolley device 200. The trolley device 200 is provided with a clamping block 110, and the clamping block 110 is provided with a limiting groove 111. The clamping device 210 is provided on the frame assembly 100 and includes a locking seat assembly 211, a mounting plate assembly 212, and a cam follower 213. The locking seat assembly 211 is provided on the frame assembly 100, the mounting plate assembly 212 is slidably provided on the locking seat assembly 211, and the cam follower 213 is provided on the mounting plate assembly 212. An elastic element 214 is provided between the locking seat assembly 211 and the mounting plate assembly 212. When the cam follower 213 squeezes the clamping block 110, the mounting plate assembly 212 can drive the cam follower 213 to reciprocate under the force of the elastic element 214, so that the cam follower 213 is engaged or disengaged from the limiting groove 111.

[0034] Specifically, the battery loading and unloading mechanism of this utility model can be applied in a battery sorting system. The frame assembly 100 can be used to place the battery tray 600 loaded with batteries. The number of frame assemblies 100 can be set according to the battery sorting level. The staff pushes the trolley device 200 to load and unload batteries onto the frame assembly 100, and the robotic arm automatically selects the batteries and places them on the corresponding frame assembly 100 to complete the battery sorting.

[0035] When the battery loading and unloading mechanism is in use, the operator pushes the trolley device 200. When the cam follower 213 on the frame assembly 100 abuts against the clamping block 110 of the trolley device 200, the elastic element 214 is buffered and deformed. As the trolley device 200 gradually connects to the frame assembly 100, the elastic element 214 is gradually released and generates elastic force, which abuts the cam follower 213 against the limiting groove 111 of the clamping block 110. The cam follower 213 is locked in place to prevent the trolley device 200 from shaking when it pushes the battery tray 600 onto the frame assembly 100, thus ensuring the stability of the trolley device 200 in loading and unloading. After the battery loading or unloading is completed, the trolley device 200 is pulled out, and the cam follower 213 automatically disengages from the limiting groove 111 of the clamping block 110, completing the unlocking. With this configuration, the cam follower 213 reciprocates through the elastic element 214, causing the cam follower 213 to automatically engage in the limiting groove 111 of the clamping block 110, preventing the trolley device 200 from shaking during battery loading and unloading, and improving the efficiency of battery loading and unloading.

[0036] Please see Figures 4 to 5 Preferably, the locking seat assembly 211 includes a locking seat 217 and an adjusting block 218 disposed on the locking seat 217; the mounting plate assembly 212 includes a mounting plate 215 and a bearing mounting seat 216; the mounting plate 215 is slidably disposed on the locking seat 217; the cam follower 213 is disposed on the mounting plate 215; and the bearing mounting seat 216 is disposed on the mounting plate 215. The adjusting block 218 is disposed opposite to the bearing mounting seat 216; a guide shaft 219 is connected through the adjusting block 218 and the bearing mounting seat 216; and an elastic element 214 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the guide shaft 219 and disposed between the adjusting block 218 and the bearing mounting seat 216. Specifically, the mounting plate 215 can slide on the locking seat 217. When the bearing mounting seat 216 on the mounting plate 215 is squeezed by the cam follower 213, the elastic element 214 is squeezed by the locking seat 217, causing the elastic element 214 to be buffered and deformed. This allows the elastic force of the elastic element 214 of the cam follower 213 to abut against the limiting groove 111 of the pressing block 110, thereby achieving locking.

[0037] Please see Figures 4 to 5 Preferably, the elastic element 214 is a spring. The elastic element 214 can also be made of other elastic materials, as long as the elastic element 214 buffers the deformation and holds the cam follower 213 in the limiting groove 111 when the cam follower 213 is compressed.

[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 2To ensure accurate positioning of the trolley device 200 in relation to the frame assembly 100, preferably, guide blocks 300 are provided on both sides of the lower frame 120. The trolley device 200 enters between the two guide blocks 300 through the guidance of the two guide blocks 300. In this way, the trolley device 200 can be well positioned and connected to the frame assembly 100 by the two guide blocks 300, thereby improving the efficiency of battery loading and unloading.

[0039] Please see Figures 1 to 2 Preferably, the guide block 300 is provided with a guide ramp 310, which gradually tilts towards the opposite guide block 300 in the direction from away from the lower frame 120 to near the lower frame 120. For example, the trolley device 200 first abuts against the guide block 300 on the left or right side. As the trolley device 200 gradually advances, it can be aligned with the guide block 300 and enter the space between the two guide blocks 300, achieving good positioning.

[0040] Please see Figures 4 to 5 To enable the mounting plate 215 to slide on the locking seat 217, preferably, a guide rail 410 is provided on the locking seat 217, and a slide rail 420 is provided at the bottom of the mounting plate 215, with the slide rail 420 slidably connected to the guide rail 410. Thus, as the trolley device 200 gradually moves into the accommodating space of the frame assembly 100, the cam follower 213 is pressed by the clamping block 110, allowing the mounting plate 215 to slide on the locking seat 217.

[0041] Please see Figures 4 to 5 Preferably, the locking seat 217 is provided with two protrusions 500 and two baffles 510. The two protrusions 500 are located on both sides of the guide rail 410, and the sliding range of the slide rail 420 is defined between the protrusions 500 and the baffles 510. In this way, the slide rail 420 slides back and forth between the protrusions 500 and the baffles 510, preventing the slide rail 420 from disengaging from the guide rail 410 and causing the clamping device 210 to fail.

[0042] Please see Figures 4 to 5 Preferably, the limiting groove 111 is semi-circular in shape. In this way, the semi-circular limiting groove 111 is adapted to the circular cam follower 213, so that the cam follower 213 can gradually be locked in the limiting groove 111 as the trolley device 200 is pushed forward, preventing the trolley device 200 from shaking.

[0043] Please see Figures 1 to 2Preferably, the frame assembly 100 includes a lower frame 120 and a driven roller 130 mounted on the lower frame 120. The trolley device 200 includes a trolley frame 220 and a conveying roller 230 mounted on the trolley frame 220. The driven roller 130 and the conveying roller 230 can be spliced ​​together to transport the battery tray 600 back and forth. Specifically, when moving the battery tray 600, the driven roller 130 and the conveying roller 230 roll, making the transport of the battery tray 600 smoother and reducing resistance. Preferably, the driven roller 130 and the conveying roller 230 can be set on the same horizontal plane, ensuring that when the trolley device 200 pushes onto the frame assembly 100, the driven roller 130 and the conveying roller 230 splice together, thereby realizing the unloading and loading of the battery tray 600, which is more time-saving and labor-saving than manual handling of the battery tray 600.

[0044] This utility model also proposes a battery sorting system, which includes the battery loading and unloading mechanism. Since this battery sorting system includes the aforementioned battery loading and unloading mechanism, it possesses all the beneficial effects of that mechanism, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0045] The above are merely optional embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made based on the contents of this utility model specification and drawings under the utility model concept, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
