Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical equipment, specifically to a dual-station flipping clamping device. Background Technology

[0002] In the existing technology, the production process of lithium batteries, such as lithium-ion batteries, aluminum electrolytic lithium batteries, and super lithium batteries, mainly involves the following steps: after the lithium batteries are assembled, they are discharged from the material discharge station and then placed into a material tray. The material tray is then moved to the cleaning station for cleaning (when loading the tray, the lithium battery casing is facing down and the leads are facing up; when cleaning, the lithium battery casing is facing up and the leads are facing down). Due to the lack of a device to bridge the material discharge station and the cleaning station, manual handling is currently required, which results in longer production time. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a dual-station flipping clamping device, the specific technical solution of which is as follows:

[0004] A dual-station flipping clamping device includes a rotary power component, a rotary seat, a first station seat, a second station seat, a first clamping mechanism, a second clamping mechanism, a central shaft, a central bevel gear, a first flipping gear, and a second flipping gear. The rotary power component drives the rotary seat to rotate. The first station seat is fixedly installed on one side above the rotary seat. The first clamping mechanism is rotatably installed in the first station seat, and the first flipping gear is installed inside the first clamping mechanism. The second station seat is fixedly installed on the other side above the rotary seat. The second clamping mechanism is rotatably installed in the second station seat, and the second flipping gear is installed inside the second clamping mechanism. The upper end of the central shaft passes through the rotary seat and connects to the central bevel gear. The first flipping gear and the second flipping gear mesh with the central bevel gear. When the rotary seat rotates, the central bevel gear engages with the first flipping gear and the second flipping gear respectively to flip the first clamping mechanism and the second clamping mechanism respectively.

[0005] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the first workstation seat and the second workstation seat are distributed at 180 degrees relative to the center of the rotating seat.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the first clamping mechanism and the second clamping mechanism have the same structure.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first clamping mechanism includes a flipping seat, a rotating shaft, a left clamp, a right clamp, and a spring. The left clamp and the right clamp are installed in front of the flipping seat, and the spring drives the left clamp and the right clamp to close in the normal state. The rotating shaft is connected to the rear of the flipping seat, and the rotating shaft is rotatably installed on the first workstation seat. The first flipping gear is fixedly installed at the rear end of the rotating shaft.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, two thrust ball bearings are fitted on the outer side of the rotating shaft. One thrust ball bearing is located between the rotating seat and the first working seat, and the other thrust ball bearing is located between the first working seat and the locking sleeve.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the rotating shaft is a hollow structure, and an opening clamping rod is movably mounted inside the rotating shaft. The rear end of the opening clamping rod extends from the first flip gear. An opening clamping shaft is movably mounted inside the central shaft. The opening clamping shaft passes through the central shaft and connects to the opening clamping plate. Two opposing opening clamping protrusions are installed on the outside of the opening clamping plate. When the opening clamping protrusions press against the opening clamping rod, the opening clamping rod moves forward to drive the left and right clamps to open.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the rotating power component is a cam divider.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a rotating plate is installed on the output shaft of the cam divider, and connecting shafts are installed on the left and right sides of the rotating plate, with a rotating seat connected above the connecting shafts.

[0012] Beneficial effects: The overall structure is ingeniously designed. When the rotating seat rotates, the central bevel gear cooperates with the first and second flip gears to flip the first and second clamping mechanisms respectively. The dual-station design enables one station to clamp lithium battery products and the other station to clamp the flipped lithium battery products, meeting the needs of flipping and repositioning the products.

[0017] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0018] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the position or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0019] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0020] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a dual-station flipping clamping device includes a rotary power component 1, a rotary seat 2, a first station seat 3, a second station seat 4, a first clamping mechanism 5, a second clamping mechanism 6, a central shaft 7, a central bevel gear 8, a first flipping gear 9, and a second flipping gear 10. The rotary power component 1 drives the rotary seat 2 to rotate. The first station seat 3 is fixedly installed on one side above the rotary seat 2. The first clamping mechanism 5 is rotatably installed in the first station seat 3. The first flipping gear 9 is installed inside the first clamping mechanism 5. The second station seat 4 is fixedly installed on the other side above the rotary seat 2. The second clamping mechanism 6 is rotatably installed in the second station seat 4. The second clamping mechanism 6 has a second flip gear 10 installed inside. The upper end of the central shaft 7 passes through the rotating seat 2 and is connected to the central bevel gear 8. The first flip gear 9 and the second flip gear 10 mesh with the central bevel gear 8 respectively. When the rotating seat 2 rotates, the central bevel gear 8 cooperates with the first flip gear 9 and the second flip gear 10 respectively to flip the first clamping mechanism 5 and the second clamping mechanism 6 respectively. That is, when the rotating seat 2 rotates, the central bevel gear 8 cooperates with the first flip gear 9 to flip the first clamping mechanism 5, and at the same time, the central bevel gear 8 cooperates with the second flip gear 10 to flip the second clamping mechanism 6.

[0021] Specifically, the first workstation 3 and the second workstation 4 are distributed at 180 degrees relative to the center of the rotating seat 2. The first workstation 3 is located on the left and the second workstation 4 is located on the right. The central bevel gear 8 is located at the center of the rotating seat 2. In this way, when the rotating seat 2 rotates 180 degrees, the first clamping mechanism 5 and the second clamping mechanism 6 clamp the product and flip it 180 degrees.

[0022] Specifically, the first clamping mechanism 5 and the second clamping mechanism 6 have the same structure.

[0023] like Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the first clamping mechanism 5 includes a flipping base 51, a rotating shaft 52, a left clamp 53, a right clamp 54, and a spring 55. The left clamp 53 and the right clamp 54 are installed in front of the flipping base 51. The spring 55 drives the left clamp 53 and the right clamp 54 to close in the normal state. The rotating shaft 52 is connected to the rear of the flipping base 51. The rotating shaft 52 is rotatably mounted on the first workstation base 3 through a bearing. The first flipping gear 10 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the rotating shaft 52. The second clamping mechanism 6 has the same structure, except that the second flipping gear 10 is fixedly installed at the rear end of its rotating shaft 52.

[0024] Specifically, two thrust ball bearings 56 are fitted on the outer side of the rotating shaft 52. One thrust ball bearing 56 is located between the rotating base 52 and the first work station 3, and the other thrust ball bearing 56 is located between the first work station 3 and the locking sleeve 57.

[0025] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the rotating shaft 52 is a hollow structure. The opening clamping rod 58 is movably mounted inside the rotating shaft 52. The rear end of the opening clamping rod 58 extends from the first flip gear 9. The opening clamping shaft 11 is movably mounted inside the central shaft 7. The opening clamping shaft 11 passes through the central shaft 7 and connects to the opening clamping plate 12. Two opposing opening clamping protrusions 13 are installed on the outside of the opening clamping plate 12. When the opening clamping protrusions 13 press against the opening clamping rod 58, the opening clamping rod 58 moves forward, driving the left clamp 53 and the right clamp 54 to open.

[0026] Specifically, the rotating power component 1 is a cam divider. The output shaft of the cam divider is equipped with a rotating plate 14. Connecting shafts 15 are installed on the left and right sides of the rotating plate 14. The rotating seat 2 is connected above the connecting shafts 15. This rotating connection structure ensures that the rotating seat 2 rotates more smoothly and accurately.

[0027] The above description is a further detailed explanation of the present utility model in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments. It should not be considered that the specific implementation of the present utility model is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, and all such deductions or substitutions should be considered to fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
