Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pack connection technology, and in particular to a pack connection platform. Background Technology

[0002] In the pack (i.e., battery pack) loading process, the packs are mainly transferred from the forklift to the loading equipment via a gantry mechanism, which occupies a large space, is costly, and poses safety hazards due to operations at height. In addition, existing connection equipment is generally semi-automatic, with a slow cycle time, which cannot meet the demands of rapid production. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a pack docking station with simple structural design, small space occupation, low cost, high safety factor and full automation.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a pack docking platform, including a track, a sliding mechanism, a drive mechanism, a docking platform and a lifting mechanism. The track is arranged horizontally, the sliding mechanism is installed at the top of the track, the drive mechanism is installed on the sliding mechanism to drive the sliding mechanism to perform horizontal movement along the track, the docking platform is arranged above the sliding mechanism, and the lifting mechanism is installed on the sliding mechanism to drive the docking platform to perform lifting movement.

[0005] Furthermore, the docking platform includes a platform frame, side support blocks, end reference blocks, and end movable components. The platform frame spans across the sliding table mechanism and is slidably connected to the sliding table mechanism. The side support blocks are located on the front and rear sides of the top surface of the platform frame. The end reference blocks are located on the right side of the top surface of the platform frame. The end movable components are located on the left side of the top surface of the platform frame and are arranged opposite to the end reference blocks.

[0006] Furthermore, the docking platform also includes multiple central support blocks, which are arrayed in the middle of the top surface of the platform frame.

[0007] Furthermore, the docking platform also includes a stabilizing rack and a stabilizing gear. The stabilizing rack is vertically mounted on the platform frame, and the stabilizing gear is mounted on the slide mechanism. The stabilizing gear meshes with the stabilizing rack.

[0008] Furthermore, the end movable component includes a movable plate, an end support block, and a power component. The movable plate is arranged longitudinally and slidably connected to the platform frame. The end support block is installed at the top of the movable plate, and the power component is installed on the left side of the platform frame to drive the movable plate to perform lateral movement along the platform frame.

[0009] Furthermore, the end-moving component also includes a first positioning element and a second positioning element. The first positioning element is installed on the left side of the top surface of the platform frame, and the second positioning element is installed on the movable plate. The first positioning element and the second positioning element correspond to each other.

[0010] Furthermore, the slide mechanism includes a slide plate and a base frame. The slide plate is embedded in the top of the track and is slidably connected to the track. The base frame is disposed above the track, and the bottom end of the base frame is connected to the slide plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a driving rack, a driving member, and a driving gear. The driving rack is arranged laterally within the track, the driving member is mounted on a slide plate, and the driving gear is mounted on the driving end of the driving member. The driving gear meshes with the driving rack.

[0012] Furthermore, a third positioning component is installed on the base frame, and a fourth positioning component is installed on the platform frame, with the third positioning component corresponding to the fourth positioning component.

[0013] Furthermore, a buffer block is installed on the platform frame, and a buffer is installed on the base frame, with the buffer block corresponding to the buffer.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] (1) This utility model drives the slide mechanism to perform lateral movement along the track through the drive mechanism, so as to realize the rapid transfer of the pack. Compared with the truss transfer, it occupies less space, has lower cost, higher safety factor, and can reach speed of 300mm / s. After the pack is transferred to the boxing equipment, the lifting mechanism raises the docking platform until it docks with the gripper in the boxing equipment. The gripper grabs the pack on the docking platform and puts it into the box. The whole process is automated and meets the needs of rapid production.

[0016] (2) This utility model uses the combination of end reference block and end moving component to clamp and position the pack on the docking platform, ensuring that the gripper in the subsequent box-in equipment can grasp accurately and stably, thereby ensuring production efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a pack docking platform includes a track 100, a sliding mechanism 200, a drive mechanism 300, a docking platform 400, and a lifting mechanism 500. The track 100 is arranged horizontally, the sliding mechanism 200 is installed at the top of the track 100, the drive mechanism 300 is installed on the sliding mechanism 200 to drive the sliding mechanism 200 to perform horizontal movement along the track 100, the docking platform 400 is arranged above the sliding mechanism 200, and the lifting mechanism 500 is installed on the sliding mechanism 200 to drive the docking platform 400 to perform lifting movement. The drive mechanism 300 drives the slide mechanism 200 to perform lateral movement along the track 100, realizing the rapid transfer of packs. Compared with truss transfer, it occupies less space, has lower cost, higher safety factor, and can reach speed of 300mm / s. After the pack is transferred to the boxing equipment (not shown in the figure), the lifting mechanism 500 raises the docking platform 400 until it docks with the gripper in the boxing equipment. The gripper grabs the pack on the docking platform 400 and puts it into the box. The whole process is automated and meets the needs of rapid production.

[0029] Specifically, track 100 is an 18-meter, seven-rail system; the sliding mechanism 200 consists of two sets, respectively located on the left and right sides of track 100, forming a dual-station system; and the lifting mechanism 500 is a lifting cylinder.

[0030] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the slide mechanism 200 includes a slide plate 210 and a base frame 220. The slide plate 210 is embedded in the top of the track 100 and is slidably connected to the track 100. The base frame 220 is disposed above the track 100, and the bottom end of the base frame 220 is connected to the slide plate 210.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the drive mechanism 300 includes a drive rack 310, a drive member 320, and a drive gear 330. The drive rack 310 is horizontally arranged within the track 100. The drive member 320 is mounted on the slide plate 210, and the drive gear 330 is mounted on the drive end of the drive member 320, meshing with the drive rack 310. Specifically, the drive member 320 is a geared motor. During operation, the drive member 320 drives the drive gear 330 to rotate. Due to the meshing of the drive gear 330 with the drive rack 310, the rotational motion of the drive gear 330 is converted into the linear motion of the slide plate 210, thereby realizing the lateral movement of the docking platform 400.

[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the docking platform 400 includes a platform frame 410, side support blocks 420, end reference blocks 430, and end movable components 440. The platform frame 410 spans across and is slidably connected to the slide mechanism 200. The side support blocks 420 are located on the front and rear sides of the top surface of the platform frame 410. The end reference block 430 is located on the right side of the top surface of the platform frame 410. The end movable component 440 is located on the left side of the top surface of the platform frame 410, and is positioned opposite to the end reference block 430. Through the coordinated arrangement of the end reference block 430 and the end movable component 440, the packs on the docking platform 400 are clamped and positioned, ensuring accurate and stable gripping by the grippers in the subsequent box-in-the-box equipment, thereby ensuring production efficiency.

[0033] Specifically, the lower inner side of the platform frame 410 is slidably connected to the front and rear sides of the base frame 220; there are four side support blocks 420, which are arranged in pairs on the front and rear sides of the top surface of the platform frame 410; there are three end reference blocks 430, which are evenly distributed on the right side of the top surface of the platform frame 410; and sensors, such as proximity switches, are installed on the side support blocks 420 to identify whether a pack is placed on the platform frame 410.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, in order to provide sufficient support for the pack, the docking platform 400 also includes a central support block 450, which is arranged in a grid at the center of the top surface of the platform frame 410.

[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the docking platform 400 also includes a stabilizing rack 460 and a stabilizing gear 470. The stabilizing rack 460 is vertically mounted on the platform frame 410, and the stabilizing gear 470 is mounted on the slide mechanism 200. The stabilizing gear 470 meshes with the stabilizing rack 460. The coordinated arrangement of the stabilizing rack 460 and the stabilizing gear 470 ensures the stability of the docking platform 400 during lifting and lowering movements driven by the lifting mechanism 500. Specifically, the stabilizing rack 460 is located on the front and rear sides of the lower part of the platform frame 410; the stabilizing gear 470 is located on the front and rear sides of the base frame 220.

[0036] like Figure 4As shown, the end movable component 440 includes a movable plate 441, an end support block 442, and a power component 443. The movable plate 441 is arranged longitudinally and slidably connected to the platform frame 410. The end support block 442 is installed on the top of the movable plate 441, and the power component 443 is installed on the left side of the platform frame 410 to drive the movable plate 441 to perform lateral movement along the platform frame 410. Specifically, there are three end support blocks 442, which are arranged opposite to the end reference block 430; the power component 443 can be a cylinder. During operation, the pack is placed on the docking platform 400, and the power component 443 drives the movable plate 441 to move towards the end reference block 430 until the end support block 442 pushes the pack into contact with the end reference block 430, thereby clamping and positioning the pack.

[0037] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, to precisely control the lateral travel of the movable plate 441, the end movable assembly 440 further includes a first positioning element 444 and a second positioning element 445. The first positioning element 444 is installed on the left side of the top surface of the platform frame 410, and the second positioning element 445 is installed on the movable plate 441, with the first positioning element 444 corresponding to the second positioning element 445. Specifically, one of the first positioning element 444 and the second positioning element 445 is a photoelectric sensor, and the other is a detection plate.

[0038] Similarly, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in order to precisely control the lifting stroke of the platform frame 410, a third measuring component 600 is installed on the base frame 220, and a fourth measuring component 700 is installed on the platform frame 410. The third measuring component 600 and the fourth measuring component 700 correspond to each other.

[0039] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, to prevent the platform frame 410 from vibrating or experiencing rigid impact at the end of its stroke, a buffer block 800 is installed on the platform frame 410, and a buffer 900 is installed on the base frame 220, with the buffer block 800 and buffer 900 corresponding to each other. When the platform frame 410 is about to reach the end of its stroke, the buffer 900 contacts the buffer block 800, forming a flexible buffer. Specifically, buffers 900 are respectively provided at the top and middle parts of the outer side of the base frame 220.

[0040] During operation, an electric forklift (not shown in the figure) transports incoming packs. The drive mechanism 300 drives the slide mechanism 200 to perform lateral movement along the track 100 until the connecting platform 400 moves to the receiving position (usually at both ends of the track 100). The electric forklift lowers the pack, and the end movable component 440 clamps and positions the pack. Then, the connecting platform 400 moves to the working position (i.e., inside the box-in device). The lifting mechanism 500 lifts the connecting platform 400, the end movable component 440 releases the pack, and the gripper inside the box-in device grabs the pack. The lifting mechanism 500 drives the connecting platform 400 to reset, and the connecting platform 400 returns to the receiving position to receive the next pack.

[0041] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model. Their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it. They should not be used to limit the protection scope of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
