Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of loading and unloading machines, specifically a lithium battery loading and unloading machine. Background Technology

[0002] A lithium battery is a rechargeable battery that relies on the movement of lithium ions between the positive and negative electrodes to achieve charging and discharging. It is typically composed of positive electrode material, negative electrode material, electrolyte, and separator. During charging, lithium ions are inserted from the positive electrode into the negative electrode, and during discharging, lithium ions move from the negative electrode back to the positive electrode, carrying current through an external circuit. Lithium batteries have advantages such as high energy density, long cycle life, and no memory effect, and are widely used in portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems.

[0003] Lithium batteries require heating during production to facilitate the diffusion of lithium ions in a high-temperature environment, thereby promoting the reaction of internal battery materials and improving charging performance. However, when transferring heated lithium batteries manually, shaking can easily occur, causing deformation or instability of the internal materials and affecting the safety and performance of the battery.

[0004] In existing technologies, such as the Chinese authorized patent for a lithium battery loading and unloading machine (application number: CN202321236350.9), a lithium battery loading and unloading machine is disclosed, including a heating device, a first moving mechanism, a second moving mechanism, and a lifting mechanism. When loading or unloading lithium batteries, the heating device can be transported to the target position through the second moving mechanism and the lifting mechanism, and then the lithium battery can be smoothly moved out or into the heating device through the first moving mechanism. This prevents the heated lithium battery from shaking violently during the movement, thus avoiding the problem of violent shaking during the movement of the heated lithium battery and improving the performance of the lithium battery. However, in actual operation, in order to facilitate the loading and unloading of lithium batteries, it is difficult to seal one side of the heating device, which leads to uneven heating of the lithium battery during the heating process, resulting in a decrease in the heating effect of the lithium battery and affecting the performance of the lithium battery.

[0005] Therefore, a lithium battery loading and unloading machine is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and solve the problem that it is difficult to seal one side of the heating equipment for convenient loading and unloading of lithium batteries, resulting in uneven heating of lithium batteries during the heating process, which leads to a decrease in the heating effect of lithium batteries and affects the performance of lithium batteries, a lithium battery loading and unloading machine is proposed.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a lithium battery loading and unloading machine according to this utility model, including a heating device, a lifting mechanism and a moving mechanism;

[0008] A sealing component for improving the heating effect of lithium batteries is provided on one side of the heating device.

[0009] The lifting mechanism includes a clamping plate disposed on the outer wall of the heating equipment. A first lead screw is threadedly installed on one side of the clamping plate. A support frame is rotatably installed on the top end of the first lead screw. A first motor is fixedly installed on the top end of the support frame. The first motor is connected to an external power source via an electric wire. The output end of the first motor is fixedly connected to the top end of the first lead screw.

[0010] The moving component includes a moving plate disposed at the bottom end of the first lead screw, and a second lead screw is threadedly mounted on the bottom end of the moving plate. One end of the second lead screw is connected to a second motor, and the second motor is connected to an external power source via an electric wire.

[0011] Preferably, the sealing assembly includes a sealing door disposed on one side of the heating device, a driving assembly disposed at the bottom end of the sealing door, a driving block fixedly mounted at the top end of the sealing door, a third lead screw threadedly mounted on the inner wall of the driving block, a third motor connected to one end of the third lead screw, the third motor being connected to an external power source via an electric wire, and the output end of the third motor being fixedly connected to one end of the third lead screw; this configuration enables the heating device to form a sealed space when heating the lithium battery, thereby ensuring uniform heating of the lithium battery.

[0012] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a drive plate disposed at the bottom end of the sealing door, a drive rod fixedly installed at the bottom end of the drive plate away from the sealing door, a Z-shaped groove slidably installed on the outer wall of the drive rod, a guide rod and a drive bar fixedly installed on one side of the Z-shaped groove, a toothed plate disposed on one side of one end of the drive bar, a transport assembly disposed on one side of the toothed plate, the guide rod slidably installed on the inner wall of the fixed seat, and the fixed seat fixedly installed at the bottom end of the heating equipment.

[0013] Preferably, the Z-shaped groove consists of two straight grooves and one inclined groove, wherein the distance between the two ends of one of the straight grooves is greater than the distance between the two ends of the other straight groove, and the two straight grooves are connected by the inclined groove; when the drive rod moves to one end of the inclined groove, the drive rod abuts against one side of the inclined groove, thereby causing the drive rod to move the Z-shaped groove.

[0014] Preferably, the transport assembly includes a drive gear disposed on one side of the drive bar, a rotating connecting rod fixedly mounted on the top of the drive gear, the rotating connecting rod consisting of a half-tooth end and a connecting plate, and a round rod rotatably mounted on the inner wall of both the half-tooth end and the connecting plate. Every four rotating connecting rods are configured as a group, and there are two groups of rotating connecting rods. Every two adjacent rotating connecting rods are connected by half-tooth ends or by connecting plates. The two groups of rotating connecting rods are meshed together. A connecting plate is disposed at the bottom of the intersection point between the two groups of rotating connecting rods, and the round rods at the intersection point are rotatably mounted on the top of the connecting plate. A transport platform is mounted on one side of one of the rotating connecting rods; this allows the heated lithium battery to remain stable during transport.

[0015] Preferably, the intersection of the inclined groove and the longer straight groove is located on the side of the transport platform away from the third motor; when the lithium battery is being unloaded, the drive component can then drive the transport component when the sealing door moves to the side of the transport platform away from the third motor, so that the transport platform can move the lithium battery out of the heating equipment, avoiding the problem of the transport component driving the lithium battery to abut against the side of the sealing door through the transport platform, causing motion interference.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] This utility model provides a lithium battery loading and unloading machine. By cooperating with a drive component and a sealing component, the drive component can be driven to operate when the sealing component is in operation, thereby driving the transport component to operate. Furthermore, the third motor can be set on the outer wall of the heating equipment. Compared with the prior art, this can avoid the problem that when the third motor is set inside the heating equipment, the long-term high temperature environment can easily accelerate the damage and deformation of the internal parts of the third motor, thereby reducing the service life of the third motor.

[0018] This utility model provides a lithium battery loading and unloading machine. Through the cooperation of a sealing component and a transport component, when loading lithium batteries, the heating device can be sealed by a sealing door after the lithium battery moves into the heating device, thereby improving the heating effect of the lithium battery. When unloading lithium batteries, when the sealing door moves away from the third motor and stops sealing the heating device, the lithium battery can be automatically moved out of the heating device by the transport component, thus achieving stable unloading of lithium batteries.

[0027] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a lithium battery loading and unloading machine, including a heating device 1, a lifting mechanism and a moving mechanism;

[0030] A sealing component for improving the heating effect of lithium batteries is provided on one side of the heating device 1;

[0031] The lifting mechanism includes a clamping plate 2 disposed on the outer wall of the heating device 1. A first lead screw 3 is threadedly installed on one side of the clamping plate 2. A support frame 4 is rotatably installed on the top of the first lead screw 3. A first motor 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 4. The first motor 5 is connected to an external power source through an electric wire. The output end of the first motor 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the first lead screw 3.

[0032] The moving component includes a moving plate 6 disposed at the bottom end of the first lead screw 3, a second lead screw 7 threadedly mounted at the bottom end of the moving plate 6, a second motor 8 connected to one end of the second lead screw 7, and the second motor 8 connected to an external power source via a wire.

[0033] Further, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the sealing assembly includes a sealing door 9 disposed on one side of the heating device 1. A drive assembly is disposed at the bottom of the sealing door 9, and a drive block 10 is fixedly installed at the top of the sealing door 9. A third lead screw 11 is threadedly installed on the inner wall of the drive block 10. One end of the third lead screw 11 is connected to a third motor 12. The third motor 12 is connected to an external power source via a wire. The output end of the third motor 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the third lead screw 11. By setting up the sealing assembly, a sealed space can be formed in the heating device 1 when heating the lithium battery, thereby making the lithium battery heated evenly. This avoids the problem that it is difficult to seal one side of the heating device 1 for the convenience of loading and unloading lithium batteries, resulting in uneven heating of the lithium battery during the heating process, which leads to a decrease in the heating effect of the lithium battery and affects the performance of the lithium battery. The heating effect of the lithium battery is improved, thereby improving the performance of the lithium battery. The first motor 5, the second motor 8, and the third motor 12 are all model 80A6S-M02430.

[0034] Further, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the drive assembly includes a drive plate 13 disposed at the bottom of the sealing door 9. A drive rod 15 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the drive plate 13 away from the sealing door 9. A Z-shaped groove 16 is slidably installed on the outer wall of the drive rod 15. A guide rod 17 and a drive bar 18 are fixedly installed on one side of the Z-shaped groove 16. A toothed plate is provided on one side of one end of the drive bar 18. A transport assembly is provided on one side of the toothed plate. The guide rod 17 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the fixed seat 19. The fixed seat 19 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the heating device 1.

[0035] Further, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the Z-shaped groove 16 consists of two straight grooves 20 and one inclined groove 21. The distance between the two ends of one straight groove 20 is greater than the distance between the two ends of the other straight groove 20. The two straight grooves 20 are connected by the inclined groove 21. When the drive rod 15 moves to one end of the inclined groove 21, the drive rod 15 abuts against one side of the inclined groove 21, thereby causing the drive rod 15 to drive the Z-shaped groove 16 to move.

[0036] In summary, by cooperating with the driving component and the sealing component, the driving component can be driven to operate when the sealing component is in operation, thereby driving the transport component to operate. In this way, the third motor 12 can be set on the outer wall of the heating device 1. Compared with the prior art, this avoids the problem that when the third motor 12 is set inside the heating device 1, the long-term high temperature environment can easily accelerate the damage and deformation of the internal parts of the third motor 12, thereby reducing the service life of the third motor 12.

[0037] Further, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the transport assembly includes a drive gear 22 disposed on one side of the drive bar 18. A rotating connecting rod is fixedly installed on the top of the drive gear 22. The rotating connecting rod consists of a half-tooth end 23 and a connecting plate 24. A round rod is rotatably installed on the inner wall of both the half-tooth end 23 and the connecting plate 24. Every four rotating connecting rods are set as a group, and there are two groups of rotating connecting rods. Every two adjacent rotating connecting rods are connected to each other through the half-tooth end 23 or the connecting plate 24. The two groups of rotating connecting rods are meshed together. A connecting plate 24 is disposed at the bottom of the intersection point between the two groups of rotating connecting rods. The round rods at the intersection point are rotatably installed on the top of the connecting plate 24. A transport platform 25 is installed on one side of one of the rotating connecting rods. By setting up the transport assembly, the heated lithium battery can be kept stable during transport, avoiding the problem of lithium battery shaking and performance degradation caused by manual transfer of heated lithium batteries. This improves the heating effect of the lithium battery and thus improves the battery performance.

[0038] Further, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the intersection of the inclined groove 21 and the longer straight groove 20 is located on the side of the transport platform 25 away from the third motor 12. When the lithium battery is unloaded, when the sealing door 9 moves to the side of the transport platform 25 away from the third motor 12, the drive component can drive the transport component, so that the transport platform 25 can move the lithium battery out of the heating device 1. This avoids the problem of the transport component driving the lithium battery to abut against the side of the sealing door 9 through the transport platform 25, causing motion interference.

[0039] In summary, by combining the sealing component and the transport component, when feeding lithium batteries, the heating device 1 can be sealed by the sealing door 9 after the lithium battery moves into the heating device 1, thereby improving the heating effect of the lithium battery. When unloading lithium batteries, when the sealing door 9 moves away from the third motor 12 and stops sealing the heating device 1, the lithium battery can be automatically moved out of the heating device 1 by the transport component, thus achieving stable unloading of lithium batteries.

[0040] Working principle: When lithium battery feeding is required, the operator first starts the second motor 8, which drives the second lead screw 7 to rotate. The second lead screw 7 drives the moving plate 6 to the target position. At this time, the operator starts the first motor 5, which drives the first lead screw 3 to move. The first lead screw 3 drives the clamping plate 2 to move. The clamping plate 2 drives the heating device 1 to the target position.

[0041] After the heating device 1 is moved to the target position, the operator starts the third motor 12, which drives the third lead screw 11 to rotate. The third lead screw 11 drives the drive block 10 to move. The drive block 10 drives the sealing door 9 to move away from the third motor 12. The sealing door 9 drives the drive plate 13 to move. The drive plate 13 drives the drive rod 15 to move along the first slide groove 14. When the drive rod 15 moves to one end of the inclined groove 21, the drive rod 15 abuts against one side of the inclined groove 21, thereby driving the Z-shaped groove 16 to move away from the fixed seat 19. The Z-shaped groove 16 drives the drive bar 18 to move. The drive bar 18 drives the drive gear 22 to rotate. The drive gear 22 drives the half tooth end 23 to rotate. Thus, through the meshing rotation between the half tooth ends 23, the rhomboid deformation formed between the rotating connecting rods is extended, thereby driving the conveyor table 25 to move away from the heating device 1, completing the stable unloading of the lithium battery.

[0042] When lithium batteries need to be loaded, the operator moves the heating device 1 to the target position by controlling the second motor 8 and the first motor 5, and then places the lithium battery on the top of the transport platform 25. At this time, the operator starts the third motor 12, which drives the sealing door 9 to move through the third lead screw 11 and the drive block 10. The sealing door 9 moves closer to the third motor 12 to seal the heating device 1, thereby improving the heating effect on the lithium battery. At the same time, the sealing door 9 drives the half tooth end 23 to rotate through the drive plate 13, drive rod 15, Z-shaped groove 16, drive bar 18 and drive gear 22. This causes the diamond-shaped deformation formed between the rotating connecting rods to shrink, thereby moving the transport platform 25 into the heating device 1. At this time, the operator starts the heating device 1 again to complete the loading and heating of the lithium battery.

[0043] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention.
