Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery welding technology, and more specifically, to a vehicle fixing device and battery pack welding equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the battery pack production process, due to the use of a manual production line operation mode, workers need to manually transfer the battery pack from the transfer cart to the welding equipment to complete the welding process. After the key components such as the battery cells, current collectors, and nickel sheets inside the battery pack are welded, they are removed from the welding equipment and placed back on the transfer cart, and then the subsequent production stages continue.

[0003] However, in practice, the frequent displacement or shaking of the transfer carts not only significantly reduces production efficiency but also poses a risk of battery packs falling to the ground. Such situations can lead to substantial economic losses and also seriously threaten the personal safety of staff. Utility Model Content

[0038] As described in the background section, in the battery pack production process, workers manually transfer the battery packs from a transfer cart to the welding equipment to complete the welding process. After the key components such as the cells, current collectors, and nickel sheets inside the battery pack are welded, they are removed from the welding equipment and placed back on the transfer cart before continuing with subsequent production stages. However, in actual operation, the transfer cart frequently experiences positional shifts or shaking, which not only significantly reduces production efficiency but also poses a risk of battery packs falling to the ground. Such situations can lead to substantial economic losses and also pose a serious threat to the personal safety of workers.

[0039] Based on this, please refer to Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a turnover cart fixing device 100 and a battery pack welding equipment 1000, which can effectively improve the aforementioned technical problems. Specifically, it can stably fix the turnover cart 001 to the welding equipment body 200, improving production efficiency and ensuring operational safety. The turnover cart fixing device 100 and the battery pack welding equipment 1000 will be described in detail below.

[0040] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the battery pack welding equipment 1000 provided in this embodiment. Figure 2 This is an installation diagram of the battery pack welding equipment 1000 and the turnover cart 001 provided in this embodiment, combined with... Figure 1 and Figure 2The battery pack welding equipment 1000 includes a transfer cart fixing device 100 and a welding equipment body 200. The transfer cart fixing device 100 is installed on the welding equipment body 200. During the transfer of the battery pack by the transfer cart 001, the transfer cart fixing device 100 can lock and fix the support rod 0011 of the transfer cart 001 to the welding equipment body 200, thereby improving the stability of the battery pack when it is moved into or out of the welding equipment and ensuring the safety of operation.

[0041] For details, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a structural schematic diagram of the turnover cart fixing device 100 provided in this embodiment, combined with... Figures 1-3 The turnover cart fixing device 100 includes a mounting plate 10, a guide assembly 20, a drive assembly 40, and a locking member 50. The mounting plate 10 is used to be mounted on the welding equipment body 200. The guide assembly 20 is mounted on the mounting plate 10 and has a guide space 30 between it and the mounting plate 10. The guide space 30 is used to mount the support rod 0011 of the turnover cart 001. The drive assembly 40 is mounted on the mounting plate 10 and is spaced apart from the guide assembly 20. The locking member 50 is connected to the drive assembly 40 and is used to cooperate with the guide assembly 20 to lock the support rod 0011 of the turnover cart 001 within the guide space 30.

[0042] As is easily understood, the guide assembly 20 provides guidance for the support rod 0011 of the turnover cart 001, facilitating the installation of the support rod 0011 within the guide space 30. Then, the driving assembly 40 drives the locking member 50 to move towards the guide assembly 20, so that the locking member 50 and the guide assembly 20 work together to lock the support rod 0011 within the guide space 30. This achieves stable fixation of the turnover cart 001 and the welding equipment body 200, preventing the turnover cart 001 from shifting or shaking during the transfer of the battery pack, thereby improving production efficiency and ensuring operational safety.

[0043] To further improve the locking stability between the turnover cart 001 and the welding equipment body 200, the number of turnover cart fixing devices 100 can be set to multiple. Multiple turnover cart fixing devices 100 are spaced apart on the welding equipment body 200 and are used to cooperate with multiple support rods 0011 of the turnover cart 001 respectively, so as to lock multiple support rods 0011 simultaneously on the welding equipment body 200.

[0044] Furthermore, the guide assembly 20 includes a first guide plate 21 and a second guide plate 22, which are spaced apart from each other on the mounting plate 10, forming a guide space 30 between them. The first guide plate 21 and the second guide plate 22 are respectively provided with a first locking hole 211 and a second locking hole 221, which are opposite to each other. The drive assembly 40 is used to drive the locking member 50 to move, so that the locking member 50 passes sequentially through the first locking hole 211 and the second locking hole 221, thereby locking the support rod 0011 of the turnover cart 001 within the guide space 30.

[0045] In other words, when the turnover cart 001 needs to be secured, the drive assembly 40 drives the locking member 50 to move towards the guide assembly 20, and sequentially passes through the first locking hole 211 and the second locking hole 221, thereby locking the support rod 0011 within the guide space 30 to prevent it from shaking. When the turnover cart 001 needs to be removed, the drive assembly 40 drives the locking member 50 to move away from the guide assembly 20, causing the locking member 50 to retract from the first locking hole 211 and the second locking hole 221. Thus, the support rod 0011 of the turnover cart 001 can be removed from the guide space 30. The entire locking and unlocking process is simple to operate, automated, and can improve production efficiency.

[0046] Please continue to combine Figure 3 The drive assembly 40 includes a cylinder 41 and a manual valve 42. The cylinder 41 is mounted on the mounting plate 10, and its piston rod 413 is connected to the locking member 50. The manual valve 42 is mounted on the mounting plate 10 and is used to communicate with the cylinder 41. It is understood that by rotating the handle of the manual valve 42, the opening of the gas flow channel inside the valve body can be changed, thereby regulating the gas input to the cylinder 41. This operation is convenient and quick, and can also improve production efficiency.

[0047] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the driving form of the driving component 40 may also be other types. For example, the driving component 40 may include a motor and a push rod, and the push rod is driven by the motor to move back and forth, thereby realizing the locking and unlocking functions.

[0048] For details, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is an exploded view of the manual valve 42 provided in this embodiment, combined with... Figure 3 and Figure 4 The cylinder 41 has a first intake and exhaust connector 411 and a second intake and exhaust connector 412 at its two ends respectively; the hand valve 42 has an intake connector 421, a first exhaust connector 422, a second exhaust connector 423 and an exhaust port 424. The first exhaust connector 422 is used to connect with the first intake and exhaust connector 411, and the second exhaust connector 423 is used to connect with the second intake and exhaust connector 412.

[0049] It should be noted that in actual operation, the first air outlet connector 422 and the first air inlet / outlet connector 411 can be connected through an air pipe. Similarly, the second air outlet connector 423 and the second air inlet / outlet connector 412 can also be connected through an air pipe.

[0050] In other words, the air inlet connector 421 is used to connect to an external air supply device, thereby enabling gas to be supplied to the hand-operated valve 42 through the air inlet connector 421. The gas can be input into the cylinder 41 through the first air outlet connector 422 and the first air inlet / exhaust connector 411, or through the second air outlet connector 423 and the second air inlet / exhaust connector 412. Of course, by rotating the handle of the hand-operated valve 42, the air inlet / exhaust mode of the first air outlet connector 422 and the second air outlet connector 423 can be switched. Furthermore, the piston in the cylinder 41 can send the internal gas into the hand-operated valve 42 through the first air inlet / exhaust connector 411 or the second air inlet / exhaust connector 412, and then discharge it through the exhaust port 424.

[0051] In order to reduce exhaust noise, in this embodiment, the turnover cart fixing device 100 also includes a muffler 60, which is disposed at the exhaust port 424.

[0052] Please continue to combine Figure 3 In order to facilitate the installation of cylinder 41 and improve its operational stability, drive assembly 40 also includes a first fixing plate 43 and a second fixing plate 44. The first fixing plate 43 and the second fixing plate 44 are spaced apart on the mounting plate 10, and the two ends of cylinder 41 are connected to the first fixing plate 43 and the second fixing plate 44 respectively.

[0053] Similarly, to facilitate the installation of the manual valve 42, the drive assembly 40 also includes a third fixing plate 45, which is disposed on the mounting plate 10, and the manual valve 42 is disposed on the third fixing plate 45.

[0054] Furthermore, to facilitate operation of the manual valve 42, in this embodiment, the manual valve 42 is positioned between the first fixed plate 43 and the second fixed plate 44. That is, the third fixed plate 45 is located between the first fixed plate 43 and the second fixed plate 44, and the manual valve 42 is positioned on the side of the third fixed plate 45 away from the cylinder 41. This ensures that the operator will not touch the cylinder 41 when turning the handle of the manual valve 42, thereby guaranteeing the normal operation of the cylinder 41.

[0055] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first fixing plate 43, the second fixing plate 44, the third fixing plate 45, the first guide plate 21 and the second guide plate 22 are all made of L-shaped plates, which can be easily connected and fixed with the mounting plate 10, and also have a certain degree of versatility, thereby reducing production costs and improving installation efficiency to a certain extent.

[0056] In summary, the embodiments of this utility model provide a turnover cart fixing device 100 and a battery pack welding equipment 1000. The turnover cart fixing device 100 includes a mounting plate 10, a guide assembly 20, a drive assembly 40, and a locking member 50. The mounting plate 10 is used to be mounted on the welding equipment body 200. The guide assembly 20 is disposed on the mounting plate 10 and has a guide space 30 between it and the mounting plate 10. The guide space 30 is used to install the support rod 0011 of the turnover cart 001. The drive assembly 40 is disposed on the mounting plate 10 and is spaced apart from the guide assembly 20. The locking member 50 is connected to the drive assembly 40 and is used to cooperate with the guide assembly 20 to lock the support rod 0011 of the turnover cart 001 within the guide space 30. The guide assembly 20 provides guidance for the support rod 0011 of the turnover cart 001, facilitating the installation of the support rod 0011 within the guide space 30. Then, the driving assembly 40 drives the locking member 50 to move towards the guide assembly 20, so that the locking member 50 and the guide assembly 20 work together to lock the support rod 0011 within the guide space 30. This achieves stable fixation of the turnover cart 001 and the welding equipment body 200, preventing the turnover cart 001 from shifting or shaking during battery pack transfer, thereby improving production efficiency and ensuring operational safety.

[0057] The battery pack welding equipment 1000 includes a turnover cart fixing device 100, which has all the functions and benefits of the turnover cart fixing device 100.
