Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cylindrical battery technology, and specifically to a manual loading and unloading device for cylindrical batteries. Background Technology

[0002] Cylindrical batteries are highly sought after due to their high capacity, long cycle life, good stability, and small size, making them particularly suitable for battery packs with irregular shapes, maximizing the use of corner spaces. However, the assembly process of cylindrical battery modules involves handling and placing the batteries into trays or supports. This is especially true on non-fully automated production lines or pilot lines, where workers often manually handle the batteries, placing them into trays or supports. Manual handling poses risks of contaminating the battery surface and dropping the batteries, and since only one battery can be handled at a time with one hand, it is inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a manual cylindrical battery handling device. It has a simple structure and is easy to operate. It uses a suction cup to adsorb cylindrical batteries, which reduces the risk of batteries falling and replaces the bare hand handling of batteries, thus reducing the risk of battery contamination.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical measures: a manual loading and unloading device for cylindrical batteries, including a handle, one end of which is connected to a fixed base, a suction cup is installed on the fixed base, a cavity is formed between the fixed base and the suction cup, the suction cup is provided with suction holes, the other end of the handle is connected to a negative pressure generating device, the handle is provided with channels communicating with the cavity and the negative pressure generating device respectively, and the handle is also provided with a button switch. When the button switch is pressed, the cavity is connected to the negative pressure generating device, and when the button switch is reset, the cavity is connected to the external environment.

[0005] In some embodiments, the push-button switch includes a key lever, a spring, a first key head, and a second key head. The key lever passes through the handle and through a channel in a radial direction. The key lever includes a first key lever, a second key lever, and a third key lever connected in sequence. The first key head is connected to the first key lever, and the second key head is connected to the third key lever.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a manual cylindrical battery handling device includes a handle 1, one end of which is connected to a fixed base 2. A suction cup 3 is mounted on the fixed base 2, forming a cavity 11 between the fixed base 2 and the suction cup 3. The suction cup 3 has suction holes. The other end of the handle 1 is connected to a negative pressure generating device. The handle 1 has channels 10 that communicate with both the cavity 11 and the negative pressure generating device. A push-button switch is also provided on the handle 1. When the push-button switch is pressed, the cavity 11 communicates with the negative pressure generating device. When the push-button switch is reset, the cavity 11 communicates with the external environment. When it is necessary to handle the cylindrical battery, the push-button switch connects the cavity 11 to the negative pressure generating device. The negative pressure generating device creates a negative pressure within the cavity 11 through the channels 10, causing the suction cup 3 to hold the cylindrical battery. The operator can then hold the handle 1 to move the cylindrical battery. When it is necessary to put down the cylindrical battery, the button switch can be reset to connect the cavity 11 with the external environment, the air pressure inside the cavity 11 is balanced with the pressure of the external environment, the negative pressure inside the cavity 11 is released, and the cylindrical battery is de-adsorbed by the suction cup 3.

[0019] In some embodiments, the push-button switch includes a key lever, a spring 4, a first key head 8, and a second key head 9. The key lever passes radially through the handle 1 and through the channel 10. The key lever includes a first key lever 5, a second key lever 6, and a third key lever 7 connected in sequence. The first key head 8 is connected to the first key lever 5, and the second key head 9 is connected to the third key lever 7. The spring 4 is fitted onto the first key lever 5 and located between the first key head 8 and the handle 1. Pressing the first key head 8 allows the key lever to move radially. The diameter of the second key lever 6 is smaller than the diameter of the channel 10. When the second key lever 6 is located within the channel 10, the negative pressure generating device can draw gas from the cavity 11 through the channel 10. The third key rod 7 has a hollow structure and an air hole communicating with the hollow structure. The air hole is oriented towards the cavity 11. The second key head 9 has a ventilation channel communicating with the hollow structure. When the button switch is pressed, the second key rod 6 is located in the channel 10, and the cavity 11 is connected to the negative pressure generating device through the channel 10. When the button switch is reset, the second key rod 6 moves out of the channel 10, the third key rod 7 moves into the channel 10, and the air hole is located in the channel 10. The cavity 11 is connected to the external environment through the channel 10, the air hole, and the ventilation channel.

[0020] In some embodiments, the first key rod 5 and the third key rod 7 have the same diameter and are greater than or equal to the diameter of the channel 10. The same diameter of the first key rod 5 and the third key rod 7 facilitates the movement of the key rods. The diameter of the third key rod 7 is greater than or equal to the diameter of the channel 10. When the third key rod 7 moves into the channel 10, the third key rod 7 can seal the channel 10 on the side away from the cavity 11, blocking the suction airflow of the negative pressure generating device, which facilitates the desorption and attachment of the suction cup 3.

[0021] In some embodiments, the suction cup 3 is provided with an arc-shaped groove, which can increase the contact area between the suction cup 3 and the cylindrical battery and improve the adsorption stability.

[0022] In some embodiments, there is one or more arc-shaped grooves. Specifically, the number of arc-shaped grooves can be set as needed. By expanding the number of arc-shaped grooves, multiple cylindrical batteries can be picked up and put in at once, improving efficiency.

[0023] In some embodiments, multiple suction holes are evenly arranged in each arc-shaped groove to balance the suction force of the arc-shaped groove and further improve the adsorption stability.

[0024] In some embodiments, the arcuate groove has an arcuate radius equal to 1 / 3 of the arcuate radius of the side surface of the cylindrical battery, which can effectively adsorb the cylindrical battery without affecting the loading and unloading of the cylindrical battery.

[0025] In some embodiments, the key rod is integrally formed or assembled. Specifically, when the key rod is assembled, the first key rod 5, the second key rod 6, and the third key rod 7 can be connected by threads.
