Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery PACK technology, specifically a battery intermittent transmission device. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the continuous development and progress of the electric vehicle industry, the standards for battery pack requirements have been increasing. High-level pack production lines have also placed higher demands on the functionality of the battery pack line, especially cylindrical batteries. Due to their circular shape, they are prone to rolling during conveyor belt transport, which can cause adjacent batteries to collide and stack together, resulting in other defects such as cosmetic damage and uneven heat shrinkage.

[0003] Currently, cylindrical batteries are mostly transported via conveyor belts, either by height difference or manually. Both methods have their drawbacks. Height difference feeding, where batteries are fed into the next section of the conveyor belt by gravity due to the height difference between the two ends, has the disadvantages of uncontrollable rolling, easy collisions during rolling causing appearance defects, and stacking after entering the conveyor belt, where batteries are tightly connected during transport, affecting the operation of downstream equipment. For example, in the heat shrinking process of insulating film, batteries need to be evenly distributed on the conveyor belt without being connected to each other to ensure uniform heating of individual batteries and the heat shrinking effect of their surface. Manual feeding, where batteries are placed one by one on the conveyor belt by hand, avoids battery collisions and stacking compared to height difference feeding, but its disadvantages are wasted manpower and low efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is how to achieve intermittent battery transfer.

[0005] This utility model solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical means:

[0006] A battery intermittent transfer device includes an installation mechanism (1), a baffle linkage mechanism (2), and a drive mechanism (3); the baffle linkage mechanism (2) is provided above the output of the installation mechanism (1), and the drive mechanism (3) is provided below the output of the installation mechanism (1). The drive mechanism (3) can control the baffle linkage mechanism (2) to open or close.

[0007] Beneficial effects: Through the installation mechanism, baffle linkage mechanism and drive mechanism, the drive mechanism can control the baffle linkage mechanism to open or close, realize the intermittent transmission of batteries, avoid battery collision and stacking during the feeding process, ensure that they are evenly distributed on the installation mechanism, and also avoid the disadvantages of manual feeding which wastes manpower and is inefficient.

[0008] Furthermore, the installation mechanism (1) includes a first mounting plate (11), a second mounting plate (12), and a conveyor liner (13). The conveyor liner (13) is fixed between the bottom of the horizontal plates of the first mounting plate (11) and the second mounting plate (12), and the conveyor liner (13) is arranged in a stepped manner.

[0009] Beneficial effects: By using the stepped arrangement of the conveyor liner, the battery is placed on the conveyor liner and will roll down under the action of gravity. When the baffle linkage mechanism is closed, the baffle planes are connected to form a surface on which the battery rolls. When the baffle linkage mechanism is open, the conveyor liner plays the role of supporting the battery.

[0010] Furthermore, the conveyor liner (13) includes a horizontal plate (131) and an inclined plate (132), which are fixedly connected in sequence, with the inclined plate (132) gradually lower than the horizontal plate (131).

[0013] Furthermore, the baffle linkage mechanism (2) includes multiple baffle assemblies (21) and linkage rods (22), and the baffle assemblies (21) are alternately rotated and connected to each other through the linkage rods (22).

[0014] Beneficial effects: By setting up baffle components and linkage rods, multiple baffle components can be linked together, similar to a fish scale structure. When open, they can block the surface batteries and stop rolling. When closed, they can become a sloping channel for the batteries to roll and be transported.

[0015] Furthermore, the baffle assembly (21) includes a baffle (211), a rotating shaft (212), and a linkage lug (213). The rotating shaft (212) is fixed on one side of the bottom wall of the baffle (211), and the linkage lug (213) is fixed at both ends of the other side of the bottom wall of the baffle (211). The linkage rod (22) is rotatably connected to the outside of the linkage lug (213) of the two baffle assemblies (21).

The support rod (36) is rotatably connected to the input end of the baffle linkage mechanism (2).

[0018] Beneficial effects: By setting up a servo motor, crank linkage, circumferential slide rail, connecting frame, limit sleeve, and support rod, the servo circular motion is converted into reciprocating linear motion.

[0019] Furthermore, the connecting frame (34) includes a fixed rod (341) and a linear motion rod (342). The front and rear ends of the fixed rod (341) are fixed with linear motion rods (342). The end of the fixed rod (341) near the circumferential slide rail (33) is fixed in the middle of the circumferential slide rail (33). Each linear motion rod (342) is slidably connected in the corresponding side of the limiting sleeve (35). Each free end of the linear motion rod (342) is fixed with a support rod (36).

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a battery intermittent conveying device, including an installation mechanism 1, a baffle linkage mechanism 2, and a drive mechanism 3.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a baffle linkage mechanism 2 is provided above the output section of the mounting mechanism 1, and a drive mechanism 3 is provided below the output section of the mounting mechanism 1. The drive mechanism 3 can control the baffle linkage mechanism 2 to open or close, thereby realizing the intermittent transfer of the battery.

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the mounting mechanism 1 includes a first mounting plate 11, a second mounting plate 12, and a conveyor liner 13. Both the first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 12 are inverted U-shaped. The conveyor liner 13 is fixed between the bottom of the horizontal plates of the first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 12. The conveyor liner 13 includes a horizontal plate 131 and an inclined plate 132, which are sequentially fixedly connected. The inclined plate 132 gradually descends below the horizontal plate 131. When a battery is placed on the horizontal plate 131, it will roll down the inclined plate 132 under the influence of gravity. When the baffle linkage mechanism 2 is closed, the baffle planes connect to form a surface on which the battery rolls. When the baffle linkage mechanism 2 is opened, the inclined plate 132 supports the battery. The baffle linkage mechanism 2 is rotatably connected between the middle of the horizontal plate at the inclined plate 132 of the first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 12. In this embodiment, the baffle linkage mechanism 2 is rotatably connected between the first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 12 through the mounting hole 14. The first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 12 are both fixed with fixed brackets 15 on the inner side of the vertical plate at the output end. The two fixed brackets 15 are parallel to each other and centered. The drive mechanism 3 is fixed between the two fixed brackets 15. The output end of the drive mechanism 3 is rotatably connected to the baffle linkage mechanism 2.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 5As shown, the baffle linkage mechanism 2 includes multiple baffle assemblies 21 and linkage rods 22. Each baffle assembly 21 includes a baffle 211, a rotating shaft 212, and a linkage lug 213. A rotating shaft 212 is fixed on one side of the bottom wall of the baffle 211. The rotating shaft 212 is rotatably connected to the mounting hole 14. The mounting holes 14 are equidistant from each other, with a spacing equal to the width of a single baffle 211, ensuring that when the baffle 211 is closed, its surface is a flat plane without gaps. Linkage lugs 213 are fixed at both ends of the bottom wall of the other side of the baffle 211. In this embodiment, the linkage lugs 213 are arranged in a ring. Each baffle assembly 21 is alternately rotatably connected to each other by linkage rods 22. The linkage rods 22 are rotatably connected to the outside of the linkage lugs 213 of the two baffle assemblies 21, achieving synchronous linkage. This mechanism can realize the linkage of multiple baffles 211, similar to a fish scale structure. When open, it can block the surface battery and stop rolling. When closed, it can become a sloping channel for the battery to roll and be transported.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown, the drive mechanism 3 includes a servo motor 31, a crank connecting rod 32, a circumferential slide rail 33, a connecting frame 34, a limiting sleeve 35, and a support rod 36. The output end of the servo motor 31 is fixed with the crank connecting rod 32, which is slidably connected to one side of the circumferential slide rail 33. The connecting frame 34 is fixed in the middle of the other side of the circumferential slide rail 33. The connecting frame 34 can slide left and right within the limiting sleeve 35. The support rod 36 is fixed on the side of the connecting frame 34 away from the circumferential slide rail 33. The support rod 36 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the linkage lug 213 of the baffle assembly 21 at the output end. Both fixed brackets 15 are connected by partitions 37 along the... Multiple limiting sleeves 35 are fixed on the X-axis. The limiting sleeves 35 on the same side are concentrically arranged to ensure that the connecting frame 34 moves horizontally and linearly. In this embodiment, two limiting sleeves 35 are fixed on each of the two fixed brackets 15 along the X-axis through partitions 37. The connecting frame 34 includes a fixed rod 341 and a linear motion rod 342. The front and rear ends of the fixed rod 341 are fixed with linear motion rods 342. The end of the fixed rod 341 near the circumferential slide rail 33 is fixed to the middle of the circumferential slide rail 33. Each linear motion rod 342 is slidably connected in the limiting sleeve 35 on the corresponding side. Each free end of the linear motion rod 342 is fixed with a support rod 36.

[0033] In use, the rotating shaft 212 of the baffle assembly 21 is installed in the mounting hole 14, with the baffle 211 facing upwards during installation. The servo motor 31 drives the circumferential slide rail 33 through the crank connecting rod 32, which in turn drives the linear motion rods 342 at both ends of the fixed rod 341 to move left and right, thereby realizing the process of converting servo circumferential motion into reciprocating linear motion. The drive mechanism 3 is connected to the baffle assembly 21 through the support rod 36 to realize power transmission. Each baffle assembly 21 is alternately connected through each linkage rod 22 to realize synchronous linkage. This controls the movement state of each baffle assembly 21 and opens and closes the baffle 211. The batteries are arranged in a gap-like manner on the conveyor liner 13 for transmission, ensuring that the batteries are not bumped or stacked during operation and that they are evenly arranged on the conveyor liner 13. This enables high-quality and efficient battery transmission and ensures that the individual cells are effectively separated when the batteries are transferred to the heat shrinking process, ensuring uniform heating after entering the oven.
