[0002] In the production process of stacked batteries, the electrode sheets are generally picked up and transported by an electrode feeding robot, and then transported to a stacking platform for stacking to form a stacked battery. In order to reduce the size of the handling device and improve the accuracy of movement, linear motors are mostly used as power sources. Linear motors generate a lot of heat during operation. However, the operating environment of linear motors is narrow, and the heat is difficult to dissipate, always accumulating in the same position, which causes the linear motor to overheat severely, affecting its normal operation and accuracy. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cooling structure for an electrode transport module to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A magnetic track is provided on one side of the base, and a plurality of linear motors are installed in the magnetic track. The bottom surface of the linear motor contacts the side of the base, and the other end face of the linear motor is connected to a moving component. The moving component is connected to the base through a sliding pair.
[0007] In a further technical solution, the bottom of the moving component is provided with several horizontally distributed water-cooled units, and mounting positions for connecting to linear motors are formed at the positions corresponding to the water channels.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] When in use, the heat emitted by the linear motor can be directly transferred to the base. At this time, the base is like a huge heat collector.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0023] Please refer to Figure 1-5 ;
[0024] The electrode handling module cooling structure described in this utility model aims to improve heat dissipation performance and reduce the impact on the linear motor so that it can maintain a good working state for a long time. Specifically, it includes a base 11, and both sides of the base 11 are provided with a plurality of grooves 12 extending to both ends. Copper tubes 13 are fixed in the grooves 12. Preferably, the depth of the grooves 12 is greater than the diameter of the copper tubes 13, so that the copper tubes 13 can be embedded therein and will not protrude from the end face of the base 11 and affect the installation of other components. In addition, the grooves 12 extend to both ends of the base 11 to form notches, through which the copper tubes 13 can pass. Alternatively, a connector is provided at the notch, and the connector is connected to both ends of the copper tubes 13.
[0025] A magnetic track 21 is provided on one side of the base 11. To make the movement of the moving component 3 more stable, the number of magnetic tracks 21 can be increased. In this embodiment, two magnetic tracks 21 are provided. Several linear motors 22 are installed in the magnetic tracks 21. Each set of linear motors 22 corresponds to one moving component 3. In this embodiment, there are at least five sets of linear motors 22, that is, at least five moving components 3 are installed. The linear motors 22 drive the moving components 3 to move laterally. The space in the magnetic track 21 is narrow, and multiple linear motors 22 work at the same time, so a large amount of energy will accumulate in the magnetic track 21. The amount of heat; in this embodiment, the bottom surface of the linear motor 22 is in contact with the side of the base 11. When in use, the heat emitted by the linear motor 22 can be directly transferred to the base 11. At this time, the base 11 is equivalent to a huge heat collector. After transferring the heat from the small space to a larger object, there are more ways to dissipate heat, and the operation is more convenient. In this embodiment, coolant or cold water is introduced into the copper pipe 13 through an external device. The copper pipe 13 absorbs the heat in the base 11 and keeps it at an appropriate temperature, thus avoiding excessive heat accumulation that affects the operation of the linear motor 22.
[0026] In addition, in order to make the movement of the moving component 3 smoother, the moving component 3 is connected to the base 11 through the sliding joint 4. The detailed structures of the multiple moving components 3 may be slightly different, but the general working principle is the same.
[0027] In this invention, the bottom of the moving component 3 is connected to the linear motor 22. Therefore, the heat generated by the linear motor 22 will be transferred to the moving component 3. The moving component 3 also uses related power devices, which will also be affected when the temperature is too high. In order to avoid these situations, several horizontally distributed water coolers are provided in the bottom of the moving component 3. The mounting position 37 connected to the linear motor 22 is formed at the position corresponding to the water channel 33. The horizontal distribution can cover the length direction of the linear motor 22, forming a barrier and reducing the heat transfer to the moving component 3.
[0028] One embodiment of the present invention relates to the movable component 3, specifically including a mounting plate 31. In the above embodiment, water channel 33 is disposed within the mounting plate 31, and water channel 32 is also disposed within the mounting plate 31. Water channel 32 and water channel 33 intersect and do not interfere with each other. A linear motor 34 is mounted on the mounting plate 31 and is connected to the movable plate 35. In this embodiment, the linear motor 34 drives the movable plate 35 to move longitudinally, perpendicular to the moving direction of the linear motor 32. Therefore, the water channel 32 is arranged in a longitudinal distribution manner, which can cover the length direction of the linear motor 34. The heat generated by the linear motor 34 when it is working will be transferred to the mounting plate 31. By continuously supplying coolant or cold water to the water channel 32, the heat in the mounting plate 31 can be removed to keep its temperature constant, so that the temperature of the linear motor 34 will not be too high.
[0029] In another embodiment, even if water channel 33 is not provided on the mounting plate 31, but only water channel 32 is provided, the mounting plate 31 forms a larger heat collector. By accelerating the flow of liquid, the heat dissipation effect is improved, and the overheating of linear motor 22 and linear motor 34 can also be avoided. Of course, providing water channel 33 and water channel 32 in the mounting plate 31 at the same time will make the heat dissipation effect even better. In order to improve the smoothness of movement, the moving plate 35 is connected to the mounting plate 31 through sliding pair 36.
[0030] In addition, the mounting plate 31 is connected to the base 11 via the sliding pair 4. The linear motor 34, the sliding pair 36, and the moving plate 35 are also mounted on the mounting plate 31. That is, the mounting plate 31 serves as both the transverse sliding block in the whole module and the mounting base of the Z-axis, forming an integrated structure.
[0031] In this embodiment of the present invention, the sliding pair 36 includes a slide rail 361, on which a slider 362 is connected. The slider 362 is provided with an oil injection channel, and a connector 363 communicating with the oil injection channel is provided at the end of the slider 362. In this embodiment, the connector 363 is connected to an external device to periodically inject lubricant into the slider 362 to keep it sliding smoothly without manual operation.
[0032] The electrode handling module is usually used in a vertical position. That is, linear motor 22 drives the moving component 3 to move along the X-axis, and linear motor 34 drives the moving plate 35 to move along the Z-axis. Then, connector 363 is usually set on the uppermost slider 362, and connector 363 is located at the upper end of slider 362. Lubricating oil is output from the lower end of slider 362. The lubricating oil flows down under the action of gravity to lubricate other sliders 362. However, the Z-axis movement stroke of the moving component 3 is relatively short. Using the above method, the first slider 362 cannot be lubricated. In this embodiment, the above problem is solved by changing the oil circuit method.
[0033] The slider 362 has a three-way channel II. The openings of the three-way channel II are located at both ends of the slider 362, forming a "T"-shaped oil passage. The connector II 351 is located on the side of the slider 362. When oil is injected, the oil flows from the middle to both ends. The lubricating oil coming out from the lower end can lubricate the slider 362 below. The lubricating oil coming out from the upper end can flow downwards due to gravity, thus serving its own function. Preferably, the opening at the upper end is designed with an inclination so that its oil outlet direction is towards the slide rail 361, which is more conducive to lubrication.
[0034] Based on the above implementation method, if the slider 362 is connected to the external oil supply equipment, it will cause the pipe to be pulled. Moreover, the slider 362 has at least two pipes, and the pipes used are mostly messy. During the operation, the moving plate 35 and the slider 362 are relatively stationary. Moreover, the moving plate 35 is located on the outside, which provides more installation space. Therefore, the moving plate 35 is used to divert the oil supply.
[0035] In this embodiment of the utility model, the movable plate 35 has a three-way channel 1 inside, and three connectors 2 351 connected to the three-way channel 1 are installed on the movable block. Two of the connectors 2 351 are connected to the connector 1 363 through pipes, and the other connector 2 351 is connected to an external oil supply device.
[0036] Furthermore, there are several sliders 362 located on the same side, and a three-way channel is provided on the upper end of the movable plate 35 and on the slider 362 at the upper end of the connector 363, which can shorten the connection distance between the connector 363 and the connector 351 using pipes.
[0037] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.

[0038] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style of the specification is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementations that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
