Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of energy storage battery technology, specifically, it relates to a transfer device for energy storage battery modules. Background Technology

[0002] Energy storage battery modules are integrated systems composed of multiple battery cells designed to store electrical energy and release it when needed. These modules typically include battery cells, a battery management system (BMS), and protection circuitry to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the battery during charging and discharging. Energy storage battery modules are widely used in renewable energy storage (such as solar and wind power), power load balancing, and in electric vehicles and portable devices.

[0003] In the production process of energy storage battery modules, transfer is a crucial step. The production process typically involves multiple different stages and processes, each potentially taking place on different production lines or in different factories. For example, different components such as battery cells, modular assembly, and system integration may need to be transferred between multiple workshops or production areas. Due to the complexity of energy storage battery modules and the high safety requirements, special care must be taken during transfer to avoid damage, ensure controlled environmental temperature and humidity, and prevent risks such as battery short circuits. Effective transfer management can ensure the smooth operation of the production process and ultimately guarantee the performance and safety of the battery modules.

[0004] Existing transfer devices are typically multi-tiered shelves. To accommodate the large number of battery modules being transferred, the gaps between the upper and lower shelves are not only small but also fixed. Therefore, during operation, the small gaps between the upper and lower shelves interfere with worker operations, especially when placing or removing semi-finished modules from the lower shelves. This makes the transfer of semi-finished modules more difficult and significantly reduces work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a transfer device for energy storage battery modules, which solves the technical problem in the prior art that the fixed and small gap between the upper and lower layers of the shelf makes it inconvenient for operators to pick up and put down battery modules.

[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A transfer device for energy storage battery modules includes a first carrier plate, a second carrier plate, a third carrier plate, and a fourth carrier plate. Longitudinal support columns are fixed to the four corners of the upper surface of the fourth carrier plate, and the second carrier plate is fixed to the support columns. The first and third carrier plates are slidably connected to the support columns. Second fixed shafts are fixed to the middle of both ends of the first, second, and third carrier plates. First hinge plates are rotatably connected to the second fixed shafts on the first and third carrier plates. A second hinge plate is rotatably connected to the second fixed shaft on the second carrier plate, and the second fixed shaft is located in the middle of the second hinge plate. The first and second hinge plates are rotatably connected via the first fixed shaft.

[0008] Furthermore, both sides of the first and second loading plates are connected to baffles by screw threads.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper part of the baffle is flush with the upper surface of the corresponding first or second carrier plate, and the lower part of the baffle protrudes below the corresponding first or second carrier plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the height of the baffle is equal to the sum of the thickness of the first carrier plate and the thickness of the battery module.

[0011] Furthermore, the length of the second hinge plate is twice the length of the first hinge plate.

[0012] Furthermore, symmetrically arranged limiting blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper surface of the fourth carrier plate and the lower surface of the third carrier plate, and each limiting block is provided with a sliding groove; sliding rods are slidably arranged in the two sliding grooves on the upper surface of the fourth carrier plate and the two sliding grooves on the lower surface of the third carrier plate; a third hinge plate is fixedly connected to each of the two sliding rods, and the third hinge plates are rotatably connected to each other through a third fixed shaft; symmetrically arranged fixing blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper surface of the fourth carrier plate and the lower surface of the third carrier plate; a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the other end of the third hinge block, and the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the corresponding fixing block.

[0013] Furthermore, a connecting block is provided in the middle of the slide bar at the bottom; two fixing rings are fixedly connected to the center of the upper surface of the fourth carrier plate; a fixed electric actuator is sleeved inside the fixing ring, and the output end of the electric actuator is connected to the connecting block.

[0014] Furthermore, symmetrically arranged rollers are fixedly installed on the lower surface of the fourth carrier plate.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] This invention utilizes a combination of a first, second, and third carrier plate with adjustable spacing. This reduces the distance between the carrier plates during battery module transfer, ensuring the stability of the battery modules. Conversely, it increases the distance between the carrier plates when picking up and placing battery modules, making it easier for staff to operate and improving convenience and practicality.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-3As shown, a transfer device for energy storage battery modules includes a first carrier plate 1, a second carrier plate 101, a third carrier plate 102, and a fourth carrier plate 103; the lower surface of the fourth carrier plate 103 is fixedly provided with symmetrically arranged rollers 20; the upper surface of the fourth carrier plate 103 is fixedly connected to the four corners with longitudinally arranged support columns 2, and the second carrier plate 101 is fixedly connected to the support columns 2, while the first carrier plate 1 and the third carrier plate 102 are slidably connected to the support columns 2.

[0025] A second fixed shaft 6 is fixedly connected to the middle of both ends of the first carrying plate 1, the second carrying plate 101, and the third carrying plate 102; a first hinge plate 3 is rotatably connected to the second fixed shaft 6 on the first carrying plate 1 and the third carrying plate 102; a second hinge plate 4 is rotatably connected to the second fixed shaft 6 on the second carrying plate 101, and the second fixed shaft 6 is located in the middle of the second hinge plate 4; the length of the second hinge plate 4 is twice the length of the first hinge plate 3; the first hinge plate 3 and the second hinge plate 4 are rotatably connected by the first fixed shaft 5.

[0026] Both sides of the first carrier plate 1 and the second carrier plate 101 are threadedly connected with baffles 8 by screws 9; the upper part of the baffle 8 is flush with the upper surface of the corresponding carrier plate, and the lower part of the baffle 8 protrudes to the bottom of the carrier plate; the height of the baffle 8 is equal to the sum of the thickness of the first carrier plate 1 and the thickness of the battery module 7, and the baffle 8 is used to prevent the battery module 7 from falling from both sides of the transfer device.

[0027] The upper surface of the fourth carrier plate 103 and the lower surface of the third carrier plate 102 are both fixedly connected to symmetrically arranged limiting blocks 10, and each limiting block 10 is provided with a sliding groove 11; each of the two sliding grooves 11 on the upper surface of the fourth carrier plate 103 and the two sliding grooves 11 on the lower surface of the third carrier plate 102 is slidably provided with a sliding rod 12; each of the two sliding rods 12 is fixedly connected to a third hinge plate 13, and the third hinge plates 13 are rotatably connected to each other through a third fixed shaft 14.

[0028] The upper surface of the fourth loading plate 103 and both sides of the lower surface of the third loading plate 102 are fixedly connected with symmetrically arranged fixing blocks 17, and the fixing blocks 17 and the limiting blocks 10 are located on both sides of the middle of the fourth loading plate 103; the other end of the third hinge block is fixedly connected with a connecting rod 18, which is rotatably connected to the corresponding fixing block 17; a connecting block 15 is provided in the middle of the slide rod 12 at the bottom; two fixing rings 19 are fixedly connected to the center of the upper surface of the fourth loading plate 103; a fixed electric push rod 16 is sleeved inside the fixing ring 19, and the output end of the electric push rod 16 is connected to the connecting block 15.

[0029] To facilitate understanding of the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model, the working principle or operation method of this utility model in actual process will be described in detail below:

[0030] During use, the operator can activate the electric actuator 16. Since the output end of the electric actuator 16 is connected to the slide rod 12 via the connecting block 15, the movement of the electric actuator 16 will cause the slide rod 12 to move horizontally in the slide groove 11 of the limiting block 10. A third hinge plate 13 is fixedly connected to the slide rod 12. The third hinge plate 13 is rotatably connected to the fixing block 17 via the connecting rod 18. The movement of the slide rod 12 causes the angle of the two third hinge plates 13 to change.

[0031] When the slide bar 12 slides within the slide groove 11, causing the angle between the two third hinge plates 13 to decrease, the third carrier plate 102 will move downwards. Since the second carrier plate 101 is fixedly connected to the support column 2, and the first carrier plate 1 and the third carrier plate 102 are slidably connected to the support column 2, a second fixed shaft 6 is fixedly connected to the middle of both ends of the first carrier plate 1, the second carrier plate 101, and the third carrier plate 102. A first hinge plate 3 is rotatably connected to the second fixed shaft 6 on both the first carrier plate 1 and the third carrier plate 102. A second hinge plate 4 is rotatably connected to the second fixed shaft 6 on the second carrier plate 101, and the second fixed shaft 6 is located in the middle of the second hinge plate 4. The first hinge plate 3 and the second hinge plate 4 are rotatably connected through the first fixed shaft 5. Therefore, when the third carrier plate 102 moves downwards, it will cause the first carrier plate 1 to move upwards synchronously, thereby increasing the gap between the carrier plates and making it easier for staff to pick up the battery module 7.

[0032] When the slide bar 12 slides in the slide groove 11, causing the angle between the two third hinge plates 13 to increase, the third carrier plate 102 will move upward. According to the same mechanical motion principle, the first carrier plate 1 will also move downward synchronously, reducing the gap between the carrier plates, making it easier for the staff to fix the battery module 7 and reducing the possibility of the battery module 7 falling off during transportation.

[0033] Both sides of the first carrier plate 1 and the second carrier plate 101 are threadedly connected to baffles 8 by screws 9. The upper part of the baffle 8 is flush with the upper surface of the corresponding carrier plate, and the lower part of the baffle 8 protrudes to the bottom of the carrier plate. When the operator operates the electric push rod 16 to move the third carrier plate 102 and the first carrier plate 1 up and down, if the gap between the carrier plates decreases, the baffle 8 can just block the battery module 7 from the side, preventing the battery module 7 from falling from both sides of the transfer device, which facilitates the transfer. Conversely, if the gap between the carrier plates increases, but the height of the baffle 8 is fixed, it will not affect the operator's ability to pick up the battery module 7 during the transfer process.
