[0039] Prior to this application, existing battery pack conveying mechanisms were bulky, occupied a large amount of space, were not conducive to layout, had low efficiency, could not meet production capacity requirements, and posed a risk of product damage.
[0040] In view of this, the first aspect of this application provides a misaligned conveying device to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Referring below... Figures 1 to 6 This application describes a staggered conveying device according to some embodiments. For ease of description, the following description will introduce two perpendicular conveying directions X, Y, and Z. It should also be noted that perpendicular can refer to 90° ± 10°.
[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the staggered conveying device of this application includes a first conveying guide rail 100, a second conveying guide rail 200, a first transport section 310, a second transport section 810, and a pulling mechanism 400. The first transport section 310 is movable along the first conveying guide rail 100, and the second transport section 810 is movable along the second conveying guide rail 200. Both the first and second conveying guide rails extend along the conveying direction X, and are spaced apart in the vertical direction Y. The staggered conveying device has a loading position and a unloading position at its two ends in the conveying direction X. When the first transport section 310 and the second transport section 810 are respectively located at the loading position and the unloading position, the first transport section 310 and the second transport section 810 are flush. Figure 2 In this configuration, the first conveying unit 310 and the second conveying unit 810 are located at the loading and unloading positions, respectively. Both the first conveying unit 310 and the second conveying unit 810 can move between the loading and unloading positions, and their directions of movement are opposite. A pulling mechanism 400 is connected to the first conveying unit 310. During the process of the first conveying unit 310 and the second conveying unit 810 meeting, the pulling mechanism 400 can pull the first conveying unit 310 to move along the vertical Y direction away from the second conveying guide rail 200, so that the first conveying unit 310 avoids the second conveying unit 810 in the vertical Y direction. Figure 1 In the middle, the first transport unit 310 and the second transport unit 810 are in a state of mutual avoidance.
[0042] During loading and unloading of the misaligned conveyor device of this application, the first conveying unit 310 and the second conveying unit 810 are respectively located at the loading position and the unloading position (see...). Figure 2 The first transport section 310 and the second transport section 810 are flush. During the transport process of the first transport section 310 and the second transport section 810, both the first transport section 310 and the second transport section 810 move between the upper and lower material positions. When the first transport section 310 and the second transport section 810 meet, the pulling mechanism 400 can pull the first transport section 310 to move away from the second transport guide rail 200 in the vertical Y direction, so that the first transport section 310 avoids the second transport section 810 in the vertical Y direction (see...). Figure 1 Subsequently, the first transport unit 310 and the second transport unit 810 exchange loading and unloading positions, thus completing the loading and unloading cycle.
[0043] In other words, during the movement of the two transport units of the misaligned conveying device of this application, when they cross positions, the pulling mechanism 400 pulls one of the transport units (the first transport unit 310) vertically along the Y direction to ensure vertical misalignment and avoidance, thereby achieving cyclic loading and unloading within a small space. The misaligned conveying device of this application is suitable for loading and unloading in small spaces, specifically including situations where the loading and unloading positions are aligned, facilitating direct gripping by upstream and downstream robotic arms. Compared to existing technologies, this application is smaller in size, saves space, has a compact structure, can simultaneously pick up and place materials, and improves conveying efficiency.
[0044] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the misaligned conveying device of this application also includes a pull guide rail 320, which extends vertically in the Y direction. The first transport unit 310 is connected to the first conveying guide rail 100 via the pull guide rail 320. The pull guide rail 320 can drive the first transport unit 310 to move along the first conveying guide rail 100. During the process of the first transport unit 310 and the second transport unit 810 meeting, the pull mechanism 400 can pull the first transport unit 310 to move along the pull guide rail 320, so that the first transport unit 310 avoids the second transport unit 810 in the vertical Y direction. In this way, the setting of the pull guide rail 320 increases the stability of the avoidance structure of the first transport unit 310 and also ensures the stability of the overall transport process of the first transport unit 310.
[0045] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the pulling mechanism 400 includes a clearance guide rail 410 and a guide member 420. The second conveying guide rail 200, the first conveying guide rail 100 and the clearance guide rail 410 are arranged sequentially at intervals in the vertical Y direction; the guide member 420 is connected to one side of the first conveying part 310 and the guide member 420 can move along the clearance guide rail 410. The avoidance guide rail 410 includes a feeding section 411, an avoidance section 412, and a discharging section 413 connected in sequence. The feeding section 411 and the discharging section 413 are closer to the first conveying guide rail 100 than the avoidance section 412. The feeding section 411, the avoidance section 412, and the discharging section 413 all extend along the conveying direction X. When the guide member 420 is located in the feeding section 411 or the discharging section 413, the first transport part 310 and the second transport part 810 are flush. When the guide member 420 moves to the avoidance section 412, the first transport part 310 can avoid the second transport part 810 in the vertical direction Y.
[0046] In other words, during the movement of the two transport parts of the misaligned conveying device of this application, when they are at the intersection (when the guide 420 enters the avoidance section 412), the first transport part 310 is pulled downward along the vertical Y direction by the cooperation of the avoidance guide rail 410 and the guide 420, so as to ensure vertical misalignment and avoidance, thereby realizing cyclic loading and unloading in a small space.
[0047] Preferably, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the guide 420 is a pulley, and the clearance guide rail 410 is a clearance groove, such as a through groove. With this configuration, the cooperation between the pulley and the clearance groove can effectively ensure the stability and smoothness of the clearance process, thereby ensuring the stability of the overall transportation process of the first transport unit 310.
[0048] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the avoidance guide rail 410 also includes a first turning inclined section 414 and a second turning inclined section 415. The first turning inclined section 414 connects the feeding section 411 and the avoidance section 412, and the second turning inclined section 415 connects the unloading section 413 and the avoidance section 412. This arrangement effectively ensures the stability of the transition between the feeding section 411 / unloading section 413 and the avoidance section 412. Preferably, the feeding section 411 and the unloading section 413 are symmetrically arranged so that their paths are the same, facilitating operation.
[0049] In the embodiments of this application, in order to further improve the stability of the first transport unit 310, the assembly structure of the first transport unit 310 will be described below.
[0050] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the staggered conveying device also includes a transport unit mounting plate 330 and a pull guide rail mounting plate 340. One side of the pull guide rail mounting plate 340 is slidably connected to the first conveying guide rail 100 via a slider, and the other side of the pull guide rail mounting plate 340 is fixed between two pull guide rails 320. The pull guide rail mounting plate 340 can drive the first transport unit 310 to move along the first conveying guide rail 100. The first transport unit 310 is slidably connected to the two pull guide rails 320 via the transport unit mounting plate 330. A guide member 420 is connected to the bottom end of the transport unit mounting plate 330, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the bottom end of the pull guide rail mounting plate 340 is provided with a clearance space 341 for the guide member 420 to pass through.
[0051] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the misaligned conveying device also includes a servo motor 700, a driving pulley 610, a driven pulley 620, and a synchronous belt 630 that is connected to the driving pulley 610 and the driven pulley 620. The servo motor 700 is connected to the driving pulley 610, and the driving pulley 610 and the driven pulley 620 are respectively located at both ends of the misaligned conveying device. The first transport section 310 and the second transport section 810 are both fixedly connected to the synchronous belt 630. Thus, the forward and reverse rotation of the servo motor 700 can drive the first transport section 310 and the second transport section 810 to move via the synchronous belt 630. The misaligned conveying device of this application uses a single-power synchronous belt 630 to drive the first transport section 310 and the second transport section 810 to move synchronously, resulting in a compact structure that allows for simultaneous loading and unloading, thus improving conveying efficiency.
[0052] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the staggered conveying device also includes a fixed mounting frame 500, a first fixing member 360, and a second fixing member 830. The fixed mounting frame 500 includes a front and a back side facing each other in the thickness direction Z. The first conveying guide rail 100 and the second conveying guide rail 200 are both connected to the front side of the fixed mounting frame 500. The driving wheel 610 and the driven wheel 620 are both connected to the back side of the fixed mounting frame 500. The first conveying part 310 is fixedly connected to the synchronous belt 630 via the first fixing member 360 (preferably, as shown in the image). Figure 5 As shown, a first fixing member 360 is fixed to the back of the pull guide rail mounting plate 340, and the second conveying part 810 is fixedly connected to the timing belt 630 through the second fixing member 830; wherein, both the first fixing member 360 and the second fixing member 830 pass through the fixed mounting bracket 500. With this arrangement, the assembly method through the fixed mounting bracket 500 is not only simple, but also has a compact structure.
[0053] See also Figure 4 In this embodiment, the synchronous belt 630 is a toothed synchronous belt; the first fixing member 360 and the second fixing member 830 can be fixed to the synchronous belt 630 by toothed pressure plates. That is, the first toothed pressure plate 370 engages with the synchronous belt 630 and is fixedly connected to the first fixing member 360, and the second toothed pressure plate 820 engages with the synchronous belt 630 and is fixedly connected to the second fixing member 830. This arrangement makes the fixing by the toothed pressure plates more secure and the transmission more stable.
[0054] It is also worth mentioning that in the embodiments of this application, both the first transport unit 310 and the second transport unit 810 are transport platforms. The transport platforms can be used for battery components of different sizes, thus having stronger compatibility.
[0055] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, such as Figures 1 to 5As shown, the misaligned conveying device also includes a feeding photoelectric sensor 910 and a discharging photoelectric sensor 920. The feeding photoelectric sensor 910 and the discharging photoelectric sensor 920 are respectively disposed at both ends of the second conveying guide rail 200. When the first conveying unit 310 or the second conveying unit 810 is in the feeding position, the feeding photoelectric sensor 910 can detect the first conveying unit 310 or the second conveying unit 810 located in the feeding position; when the first conveying unit 310 or the second conveying unit 810 is in the discharging position, the discharging photoelectric sensor 920 can detect the first conveying unit 310 or the second conveying unit 810 located in the discharging position.
[0056] As an example, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, two sensing plates 350 are fixed to the top of the conveying unit mounting plate 330 and the top of the second fixing member 830. Taking the loading photoelectric sensor 910 as an example, when the first conveying unit 310 or the second conveying unit 810 moves to the loading position, the sensing plate 350 will enter the slot-shaped space of the loading photoelectric sensor 910, so that the loading photoelectric sensor 910 can detect the first conveying unit 310 or the second conveying unit 810 located at the loading position. Subsequently, when the loading photoelectric sensor 910 detects the first conveying unit 310 or the second conveying unit 810 located at the loading position, the loading robot loads the first conveying unit 310 or the second conveying unit 810 located at the loading position; when the unloading photoelectric sensor 920 detects the first conveying unit 310 or the second conveying unit 810 located at the unloading position, the unloading robot unloads the first conveying unit 310 or the second conveying unit 810 located at the unloading position.
[0057] According to a second aspect of this application, a battery production system is provided, comprising the misaligned conveying device as described above. Further, the battery production system also includes a loading robot located upstream of the misaligned conveying device and a unloading robot located downstream of the misaligned conveying device. When the loading photoelectric sensor 910 detects the first transport section 310 or the second transport section 810 at the loading position, the loading robot loads material onto the first transport section 310 or the second transport section 810 at the loading position; when the unloading photoelectric sensor 920 detects the first transport section 310 or the second transport section 810 at the unloading position, the unloading robot unloads material from the first transport section 310 or the second transport section 810 at the unloading position.
[0058] In summary, during the synchronous movement of the two transport units of the staggered conveying device of this application, at the intersection position (when the guide 420 enters the avoidance section 412), the first transport unit 310 is pulled downward along the vertical Y direction by the cooperation of the avoidance guide rail 410 and the guide 420, ensuring vertical staggered avoidance, thereby realizing cyclic loading and unloading in a small space.
