[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The following describes a reflux device 200 in an embodiment of the present utility model.
[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 For ease of description and understanding, we define the forward and backward direction, the left and right direction, and the up and down direction.
[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 This application provides a return device 200, which is applicable to a battery cell testing equipment. The battery cell testing equipment includes a conveying device 100. The return device 200 includes a conveying mechanism 21, a first pushing mechanism 22, and a second pushing mechanism 23. The conveying mechanism 21 is used to convey a fixture. The first pushing mechanism 22 is disposed on the side of the conveying device 100 away from the conveying mechanism 21 and is used to push the fixture located on the conveying device 100 to the conveying mechanism 21. The second pushing mechanism 23 is disposed on the side of the conveying mechanism 21 away from the conveying device 100 and is used to push the fixture located on the conveying mechanism 21 to the conveying device 100.
[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, the conveying device 100 and the conveying mechanism 21 are arranged side by side in the left-right direction, with the conveying device 100 located to the left of the conveying mechanism 21. The conveying directions of both the conveying device 100 and the conveying mechanism 21 are parallel to the front-back direction. During operation, after the fixture moves to a predetermined position on the conveying device 100, the first pushing mechanism 22 pushes the fixture onto the conveying mechanism 21. Driven by the conveying mechanism 21, the fixture moves to the vicinity of the second pushing mechanism 23, which then pushes the fixture onto the conveying device 100. In this way, mechanical automation is achieved, moving the fixture from the end of the conveying device 100 back to the beginning of the conveying device 100, significantly reducing labor consumption.
[0034] In another embodiment of this application, please refer to Figures 1 to 3The conveying device 100 has a feeding station 12, and the conveying mechanism 21 has a return station 211 opposite to the feeding station 12. The feeding station 12 is located between the first pushing mechanism 22 and the return station 211. The return station 211 is provided with a first lifting drive 212 and a first fixture support plate 213. The first lifting drive 212 is driven to connect with the first fixture support plate 213 so that the first fixture support plate 213 moves in the up and down direction.
[0035] Specifically, the unloading station 12 is located to the left of the return station 211, and the first pushing mechanism 22 is located to the left of the unloading station 12. When the fixture moves to the unloading station 12 and the battery cell on the fixture is removed, the first lifting drive 212 drives the first fixture support plate 213 to move it upward. Subsequently, the first pushing mechanism 22 pushes the fixture located at the unloading station 12 onto the first fixture support plate 213. Then, the first pushing mechanism 22 and the first lifting drive 212 reset, so that the fixture is supported on the conveying mechanism 21, thereby enabling the conveying mechanism 21 to move the fixture. The arrangement of the first lifting drive 212 and the first fixture support plate 213 can reduce the influence of the conveying mechanism 21 on the fixture during the process of being pushed by the first pushing mechanism 22, thereby reducing the degree of fixture tilt and improving the detection effect of the battery cell.
[0036] In some embodiments, a support plate is provided at the unloading station 12 of the conveying device 100. The first lifting drive member 212 is not only driven to the first fixture support plate 213, but also driven to the support plate. That is, when the fixture moves to the unloading station 12 and the battery cell on the fixture is removed, the first lifting drive member 212 simultaneously drives the first fixture support plate 213 and the support plate to move upward, so that the fixture is detached from the conveying device 100 and the conveying mechanism 21 throughout the entire pushing process, further improving the detection effect of the battery cell.
[0037] Of course, in some other embodiments, the support plate at the unloading station 12 may be driven independently by another driving member, without being controlled by the first lifting driving member 212, which is not limited here.
[0038] In another embodiment of this application, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The conveying device 100 has a loading station 11, and the conveying mechanism 21 has a return station 214 opposite to the loading station 11. The loading station 11 is located between the second pushing mechanism 23 and the return station 214. The return station 214 is provided with a second lifting drive and a second fixture support plate. The second lifting drive is driven to the second fixture support plate so that the second fixture support plate moves in the up and down direction.
[0039] Specifically, the return station 214 is located to the right of the loading station 11, and the second pushing mechanism 23 is located to the right of the return station 214. After the conveying mechanism 21 conveys the fixture to the return station 214, the second lifting drive drives the second fixture support plate to rise. Subsequently, the second pushing mechanism 23 pushes the fixture supported on the second fixture support plate to the loading station 11 of the conveying device 100. Then, the second pushing mechanism 23 and the second lifting drive reset. The arrangement of the second lifting drive and the second fixture support plate can reduce the influence of the conveying mechanism 21 on the fixture during the process of being pushed by the second pushing mechanism 23, thereby reducing the degree of fixture tilt and improving the detection effect of the battery cells.
[0040] In some embodiments, a support plate is provided at the loading station 11 of the conveying device 100, and the second lifting drive is not only driven to the second fixture support plate, but also driven to the support plate. That is, when the fixture moves to the return station 214, the second lifting drive simultaneously drives the second fixture support plate and the support plate to move upward, so that the fixture is detached from the conveying device 100 and the conveying mechanism 21 throughout the entire pushing process, further improving the detection effect of the battery cells.
[0041] Of course, in some other embodiments, the support plate at the loading station 11 may be driven independently by another driving member, without being controlled by the second lifting driving member, which is not limited here.
[0042] It is understandable that the first lifting drive component 212 and the second lifting drive component can be a cylinder, a linear motor module, or a hydraulic rod, and no limitation is made here.
[0043] In another embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 2 The return station 211 is equipped with a first fixture sensor 215 for sensing fixtures. Specifically, the first fixture sensor 215 is a proximity switch. When the first fixture sensor 215 senses that there is a fixture on the return station 211, the first lifting drive 212 is reset.
[0044] In another embodiment of this application, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The first fixture sensor 215 is located below the first fixture support plate 213. The first fixture support plate 213 has a first clearance groove 2131, through which the first fixture sensor 215 protrudes. Specifically, the first clearance groove 2131 is formed on the upper surface of the first fixture support plate 213 and extends through the lower surface of the first fixture support plate 213 in a vertical direction. The first fixture sensor 215 is located directly below the first clearance groove 2131. This arrangement allows the first fixture sensor 215 to sense the fixture being pushed onto the first fixture support plate 213.
[0045] In another embodiment of this application, the return station 214 is provided with a second fixture sensor for sensing the fixture. Specifically, the second fixture sensor is a proximity switch. When the second fixture sensor senses the presence of a fixture on the return station 214, the second lifting drive member drives the second fixture support plate to rise, so that the fixture is disengaged from the conveying mechanism 21.
[0046] In another embodiment of this application, the second fixture sensor is located below the second fixture support plate, and the second fixture support plate has a second clearance groove, through which the second fixture sensor protrudes. Specifically, the second clearance groove is formed on the upper surface of the second fixture support plate and extends through the lower surface of the second fixture support plate in a vertical direction. The second fixture sensor is located directly below the second clearance groove, so that the second fixture sensor can sense the fixture located on the return line station 214.
[0047] In another embodiment of this application, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The first pushing mechanism 22 includes a first pushing drive 221, a first pushing member 222 and a first limiting member 223. The first pushing member 222 is located on the side of the conveying device 100 away from the conveying mechanism 21, and the first limiting member 223 is located on the side of the conveying mechanism 21 away from the conveying device 100. The first pushing drive 221 and the first pushing member 222 are drivenly connected.
[0048] Specifically, the first push drive component 221 is a rodless cylinder, and its movable end moves in the left-right direction. The first push component 222 is located on the left side of the unloading station 12 and is fixedly installed on the movable end of the first push drive component 221. The movable end of the first push drive component 221 drives the first push component 222 to perform linear reciprocating motion in the left-right direction. The first limiting component 223 is located on the right side of the return station 211. Driven by the first push drive component 221, the first push component 222 pushes the fixture to the right until the fixture abuts against the first limiting component 223. The setting of the first limiting component 223 ensures that the fixture can reach the appropriate position.
[0049] In another embodiment of this application, the second pushing mechanism 23 includes a second pushing drive, a second pushing member, and a second limiting member. The second pushing member is located on the side of the conveying mechanism 21 away from the conveying device 100, and the second limiting member is located on the side of the conveying device 100 away from the conveying mechanism 21. The second pushing drive is drivenly connected to the second pushing member.
[0050] Specifically, the second push drive is a rodless cylinder, and its movable end moves in the left-right direction. The second pusher is located on the right side of the return station 214 and is fixedly installed on the movable end of the second push drive. The movable end of the second push drive drives the second pusher to perform linear reciprocating motion in the left-right direction. The second limiter is located on the left side of the loading station 11. Driven by the second push drive, the second pusher pushes the fixture to the left until the fixture abuts against the second limiter. The second limiter ensures that the fixture can reach the appropriate position.
[0051] Optionally, both the conveying device 100 and the conveying mechanism 21 are conveyor belt structures.
[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
