Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to new energy battery production transfer equipment technical field, concretely relates to a new energy battery production battery transfer equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of new energy automobile industry, the demand for new energy batteries is increasing. In the battery production process, the transfer of the battery is the key link to ensure production efficiency and safety. At present, the battery transfer is mostly carried out by automatic guided vehicle (AGV), which can carry the battery to the destination according to the planned path, improving the production efficiency. Its main working principle is to perceive and understand the environment by laser navigation, visual navigation, magnetic navigation and other technologies, determine the position and motion path. The laser or visual sensor scans the environment, obtains the landmarks or feature points around, carries out positioning and mapping, and compares with the pre-established map through algorithm processing, to realize the positioning and navigation decision of the self position.

[0003] At present, the common automatic guided vehicle (AGV) in the battery loading and unloading operation mostly relies on manual or mechanical arm operation. Manual loading and unloading operation is low in efficiency, and is easy to cause battery damage or safety accidents due to improper operation. In addition, the instability of manual operation also increases the production cost and safety risk. Although the mechanical arm loading and unloading can realize automatic loading and unloading, the existing mechanical arm loading and unloading system is usually independent, and needs to be operated by a separate mechanical arm. When loading and unloading the battery, the AGV cannot load and unload the battery autonomously, and must wait for the mechanical arm to complete the loading and unloading operation before proceeding to the next operation. This operation mode results in low utilization rate of AGV, slow loading and unloading efficiency, and cannot meet the large-scale and high-efficiency production demand. Therefore, the utility model provides a new energy battery production battery transfer equipment to improve the loading and unloading efficiency in the battery production process, reduce the labor cost, and reduce the occurrence of safety accidents.

[0004] For the problems in the related art, no effective solution has been proposed so far. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0020] Example

[0021] Please see Figs. 1-3 This utility model provides the following technical solution: a battery transfer device for new energy battery production, including a vehicle body 1, a platform 2 fixed on the top of the vehicle body 1, wheels 3 installed on both sides of the bottom of the vehicle body 1, rotating bases 4 fixed at both ends of the platform 2 corresponding to the tops of the wheels 3, a robotic arm 5 installed on the top of the rotating base 4, a first drive motor 6 installed at the control end of the robotic arm 5, a fixed bracket 7 connected to the output end of the first drive motor 6, vacuum suction cups 8 evenly installed on the fixed bracket 7, and an anti-collision frame 9 fixed on the outside of the platform 2. Limiting blocks 10 are evenly arranged on both sides of the surface of the anti-collision frame 9 between the two rotating bases 4. In this embodiment, the robotic arm 5 loading and unloading system allows the AGV to load and unload batteries without waiting, achieving seamless integration of autonomous loading and unloading and transportation, improving AGV utilization and battery transfer efficiency. The automated robotic arm 5 operation reduces manual loading and unloading time, realizes fast and continuous battery transfer, and significantly improves production line efficiency. Automated operation reduces reliance on manual labor and production costs, and reduces the labor intensity of workers. The robotic arm 5 design reduces the risk of battery damage and safety accidents. The anti-collision frame 9 and the limit stop 10 prevent battery slippage and collision, ensuring operational safety. The rotating base 4 and the robotic arm 5 adapt to different battery sizes and shapes, exhibiting good versatility and adaptability, and are suitable for the production of various new energy batteries.

[0022] In order to ensure that the battery is stably placed on the surface of the shelf 2 and prevent it from shifting to the sides, and to position the battery, in this embodiment, as a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the limiting blocks 10 on both sides of the surface of the anti-collision frame 9 are symmetrically arranged and correspond one to one; the cross section of the limiting block 10 is a right trapezoidal structure, and the hypotenuse of the right trapezoid faces the shelf 2.

[0023] In order to avoid the vehicle body 1 being damaged by impact during transportation, in this embodiment, as a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the anti-collision frame 9 is fixed with anti-collision energy absorption boxes 11 at both ends, and the anti-collision frame 9 is provided with side anti-collision plates 12 on both sides.

[0024] To facilitate automatic adjustment of the end-effector orientation of the robotic arm 5, in this embodiment, as a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the rotating base 4 includes a base 13, a central seat 14 is provided inside the base 13, a central column 15 is fixed at the bottom center of the central seat 14, the central seat 14 is rotatably connected to the base 13 through the central column 15, a second drive motor 16 is installed on one side of the base 13, and the output end of the second drive motor 16 is connected to the central column 15 through a worm gear transmission.

Upon arrival, the second drive motor 16 of the rotating base 4 at both ends of the platform 2 of the vehicle body 1 drives the center seat 14 to rotate via worm gear transmission. The center seat 14 then drives the robotic arm 5 to rotate, so that the control end of the robotic arm 5 is aligned with the battery direction at the target position. Subsequently, the robotic arm 5 adjusts the position of the fixed bracket 7 so that the vacuum suction cup 8 approaches and contacts the battery surface, using the vacuum suction cup 8 to adsorb both ends of the battery, ensuring uniform force during battery lifting. Next, the two robotic arms 5 work together to lift the battery and place it on the surface of the platform 2 with the help of the rotating base 4. The limiting blocks 10 on both sides of the platform 2 prevent the battery from shifting and ensure that the battery remains in position during the movement of the vehicle body 1. After the battery is placed stably, the vehicle body 1 transfers it to the predetermined battery placement point, where it is again precisely placed by the robotic arm 5 and the vacuum suction cup 8.
