Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of battery processing and relates to battery feeding technology, specifically a conveying device for feeding battery cells. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of battery cell manufacturing, battery cell loading is an important step; battery cell loading refers to the process of transporting the pre-processed battery cells (including positive electrode plates, negative electrode plates, and separators, etc.) to the next process or equipment for assembly in a specific order and according to requirements.

[0003] Current battery cell loading methods typically involve placing the battery cells directly onto the conveyor belt surface using robotic arms or similar devices. The conveyor belt then carries the cells to subsequent information scanning processes. However, existing conveyor belts generally lack battery cell limiting structures, and the length of the conveyor belt is usually greater or less than the length of the battery cell itself. This makes it difficult to ensure stable transport of the battery cells along a specific trajectory. Incomplete contact between the battery cells and the conveyor belt during loading or external forces during transport can cause the battery cells to be in a non-parallel state with the conveyor belt surface, affecting subsequent information scanning processes.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model proposes a conveying device for feeding battery cells. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this utility model proposes a battery cell feeding conveying device, which solves the problem that existing battery cell feeding conveying devices do not have relevant limiting structures, making it difficult to ensure that the battery cells are in a horizontal position in subsequent processes, thus affecting the operation of subsequent processes.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, according to an embodiment of the first aspect of this utility model, a conveying device for feeding battery cells is provided, comprising a base and a conveyor belt, both extending along a first direction, the conveyor belt being slidably connected to the interior of the base; a positioning mechanism is provided between the conveyor belt and the base, the positioning mechanism comprising:

[0007] Several positioning plates are fixedly disposed on the surface of the conveyor belt. The positioning plates extend along a second direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. Adjacent positioning plates are respectively attached to two opposite surfaces of the battery cell in the first direction.

[0008] Two adjustment blocks are arranged at intervals in a second direction. The adjustment blocks are fixedly disposed on the surface of the base, and the two adjustment blocks are respectively attached to two opposite surfaces of the battery cell in the second direction. The adjustment blocks extend along a third direction, which is perpendicular to both the first direction and the second direction. The cross-sectional view of the adjustment block is a rounded square shape.

[0009] Optionally, two support blocks are fixedly connected to the surface of the base, both of which extend along a first direction, and the two adjustment blocks are respectively fixedly disposed with the support blocks.

[0010] Optionally, the upper edge of the support block is at the same horizontal level as the running surface of the conveyor belt.

[0011] Optionally, a fixing groove is provided on the side of the support block near the adjustment block, and a through groove is provided on the surface of the support block.

[0012] Optionally, a screw is detachably connected inside the fixing groove and the through groove, and a nut is threadedly connected to the side of the screw away from the adjusting block. The length of the through groove is greater than the diameter of the screw.

[0013] Optionally, the conveyor belt and the positioning plate have connecting grooves on their surfaces, and bolts are threaded into the connecting grooves.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: a positioning plate is set on the surface of the conveyor belt, and two adjacent positioning plates contact two surfaces of the battery cell in one direction, ensuring that the position of the battery cell relative to the conveyor belt remains unchanged and in a horizontal state during placement and transportation. Then, an adjustment block is set in a state perpendicular to the positioning plate, which restricts the position of the other two opposite surfaces of the battery cell. The edges of the adjustment blocks are all set to be arc-shaped, so that the battery cell is symmetrical with respect to the center line of the positioning plate by the adjustment block, further restricting its position. This ensures that the scanning device can quickly obtain the basic information of the battery cell, which facilitates the subsequent processes. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0024] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a conveying device for feeding battery cells includes a base 1 and a conveyor belt 2, both extending along a first direction a, wherein the conveyor belt 2 is slidably connected to the interior of the base 1.

[0025] It should be noted that the conveyor belt 2 has two transmission wheels inside, both of which are fixed inside the base 1 and are symmetrically arranged relative to the conveyor belt 2. The transmission wheels are fixedly connected to one end of the motor output shaft.

[0026] A positioning mechanism is provided between the conveyor belt 2 and the base 1, the positioning mechanism comprising:

[0027] A plurality of positioning plates 41 are fixedly disposed on the surface of the conveyor belt 2. The positioning plates 41 extend along the second direction b, and the first direction a is perpendicular to the second direction b. Each adjacent positioning plate 41 is respectively attached to the two opposite surfaces of the battery cell 3 in the first direction a. The number of positioning plates 41 is an integer multiple of 2. The contact between the two positioning plates and the two opposite surfaces of the battery cell 3 in the first direction a ensures that the position of the battery cell 3 relative to the conveyor belt 2 does not change during the conveying process, and ensures that the battery cell 3 is in a horizontal state during the conveying process.

[0028] Two adjustment blocks 42 are arranged at intervals along the second direction b, and both adjustment blocks 42 are fixedly mounted on the surface of the base 1. The two adjustment blocks 42 are respectively attached to the two opposite surfaces of the battery cell 3 along the second direction b. Each adjustment block 42 extends along a third direction c, which is perpendicular to both the first direction a and the second direction b. The cross-section of each adjustment block 42 is a rounded square. The adjustment blocks 42 are located in front of the battery cell 3 information scanning device. The battery cell 3 passes through the adjustment blocks 42 first under the action of the conveyor belt 2 before reaching the scanning position. This ensures that the position of the QR code affixed to the surface of the battery cell 3 is parallel to the edge of the conveyor belt 2 and the scanning device, facilitating rapid scanning and acquisition of relevant information about the battery cell 3.

[0029] In practical application, the battery cell feeding conveyor device has a positioning plate 41 fixed on the surface of the conveyor belt 2. By having two adjacent positioning plates 41 contact two surfaces of the battery cell 3 in one direction, the position of the battery cell 3 relative to the conveyor belt 2 remains unchanged and horizontal during placement and conveying. Then, an adjustment block 42 is set perpendicular to the positioning plate 41. The adjustment block 42 restricts the position of the other two opposite surfaces of the battery cell 3. The edges of the adjustment block 42 are all set to be arc-shaped. Thus, the battery cell 3 is symmetrical with respect to the center line of the positioning plate 41 by the adjustment block 42, which further restricts its position. This ensures that the scanning device can quickly obtain the basic information of the battery cell 3, which is convenient for subsequent processes.

[0030] In some specific implementations, two support blocks 51 are fixedly connected to the surface of the base 1, and the support blocks 51 extend along the first direction a. The two adjustment blocks 42 are respectively fixedly disposed with the support blocks 51.

[0031] In a further embodiment, the upper edge of the support block 51 is at the same horizontal level as the running surface of the conveyor belt 2; the support block 51 further increases the position of the adjusting block 42, while providing more space for the adjusting block 42 to be fixed.

[0032] In a further embodiment, a fixing groove 52 is provided on the side of the support block 51 near the adjusting block 42, and a through groove 53 is provided on the surface of the support block 51. A screw 54 is detachably connected inside the fixing groove 52 and the through groove 53. A nut 55 is threadedly connected to the side of the screw 54 away from the adjusting block 42. The length of the through groove 53 is greater than the diameter of the screw 54. The longer fixing groove 52 and the through groove 53 allow the position of the screw 54 inside the support block 51 and the adjusting block 42 to be changed independently. This allows the adjusting block 42 to be fixed at any position on the surface of the support block 51. At the same time, since the screw 54 can change position inside the through groove 53, the position of the adjusting block 42 can be finely adjusted on the surface of the support block 51, ensuring that the distance between the two adjusting blocks 42 is equal to the length of the battery cell 3. Therefore, through the above fixing method, battery cells 3 of various sizes can be placed between the adjusting blocks 42, and the position of the adjusting blocks 42 does not limit the applicable range of the conveyor belt 2.

[0033] In some specific implementations, the conveyor belt 2 and the positioning plate 41 are provided with connecting grooves 61, and bolts 62 are threadedly connected inside the connecting grooves 61.

[0034] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the positioning plate 41 is fixed on the surface of the conveyor belt 2 according to the width or height of the battery cell 3 to be placed by bolts 62, so as to ensure that the adjacent positioning plates 41 are in contact with the opposite surfaces of the battery cell 3 in the same direction.

[0035] Next, based on the length of the battery cell 3, set the positions of the two adjustment blocks 42. First, determine the position of the adjustment block 42 on the surface of the support block 51, insert the screw 54 into the fixing groove 52 at that position, and then adjust the position of the screw 54 in the through groove 53 so that the adjustment block 42 is symmetrically arranged relative to the center line of the battery cell 3 and its surface contacts the opposite surface of the battery cell 3. Then, tighten the screw 54 and the nut 55 to fix the position of the adjustment block 42.

[0036] When the battery cell 3 is fed, it is placed between the adjacent positioning plates 41. The sliding of the conveyor belt 2 causes the positioning plates 41 to change position, which in turn drives the battery cell 3 to change position. When the battery cell 3 is moved to the position of the adjustment block 42, it moves under the action of the arc edge to ensure that the center line of the battery cell 3 and the center line of the positioning plate 41 coincide, and then continues to move to the next process.

[0037] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical methods of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical methods of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical methods of this utility model.
