The vertical plate is vertically mounted on the horizontal plate. The vertical cylinder is mounted on the top of the vertical plate. The vertical guide rail is mounted on the vertical plate and located at the bottom of the vertical cylinder.

[0026] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-5 This embodiment provides a pallet transport device, including a first conveyor belt 1, a second conveyor belt 2, a transport component 3, and a transport pallet. The first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 2 are arranged perpendicularly to each other. The first conveyor belt 1 is located in the cleaning workshop, and one end of the second conveyor belt 2 is located in the cleaning workshop, while the other end is located in the operating workshop. The transport pallet is slidably mounted on the first conveyor belt 1. The transport component 3 includes a transport claw 6, which is slidably mounted on the top of the first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 2 along the axial direction of the second conveyor belt 2. The transport claw 6 is used to place the transport pallet onto the second conveyor belt 2. 6. The transport claw 6 moves the transport pallet from the first transport belt 1 to the second transport belt 2. The second transport belt 2, through its operation, transports the transport pallet from the cleaning workshop to the operating workshop. The transport pallet is transferred via the transport belt. Compared with manually pulling the trailer, the transport speed and efficiency of moving the transport pallet to the operating workshop are greatly increased, further shortening the overall battery production time and improving the speed and efficiency of battery production. This solves the problem that manually pulling the trailer to transport the battery casing to another operating workshop is too slow, resulting in low overall battery production efficiency and an inability to meet the growing market demand for batteries.

[0028] Furthermore, in order to increase the number of batteries that can be loaded on the transport pallet of this solution and increase the number of batteries transported in a single trip, the transport pallet of this solution includes a bottom pallet 4 and a top pallet 5, with the top pallet 5 mounted on top of the bottom pallet 4.

[0029] Specifically, the structure of the bottom tray 4 in this solution is as follows: The bottom tray 4 includes a bottom tray body 401, two protective trays 402, and two protective rods 403. The two protective trays 402 are located at opposite ends of the bottom tray body 401, and there are two connecting spaces between the two protective trays 402 and the bottom tray body 401. The two protective rods 403 correspond one-to-one with the two connecting spaces, with each protective rod 403 positioned within its corresponding connecting space. The two ends of the protective rod 403 are connected to one end of each of the two protective trays 402, and the protective rods 403 are connected to the side wall of the bottom tray body 401. The bottom tray body 401 is slidably mounted on the first conveyor belt 1. It should be noted that the bottom tray body 401 is used to load batteries. It is worth noting that the distance between the two protective discs 402 in this scheme is equal to the width of the first conveyor belt 1. This setting ensures that the bottom pallet 4 will not sway left and right when the first conveyor belt 1 transports the pallet. This setting has two advantages: first, it avoids the bottom pallet 4 from swaying and causing the top pallet 5 to fall off; second, it makes it easier for the first conveyor belt 1 to control the pallet to the designated position, which is convenient for the subsequent transport claw 6 to position the pallet and grasp it.

[0030] The specific structure of the top tray 5 in this solution is as follows: The top tray 5 includes a top support body 501 and four connecting rods 502. The four connecting rods 502 are located on the four side walls of the top support body 501, and the connecting rods 502 are interconnected with the corresponding side walls of the top support body 501. One end of two adjacent connecting rods 502 is connected to each other. The top support body 501 is mounted on top of the bottom support body 401. It should be noted that the top support body 501 is used to hold batteries.

[0031] Specifically, the transport motor in this solution also includes a horizontal unit and a vertical unit. The horizontal unit includes a horizontal plate 301, a horizontal motor 302, a synchronous belt 303, two synchronous gears 304, and a connecting block 305. The horizontal plate 301 is located on top of the second transport belt 2, and the axial direction of the horizontal plate 301 is the same as that of the second transport belt 2. The horizontal motor 302 is mounted on the horizontal plate 301. The two synchronous gears 304 are rotatably mounted at both ends of the horizontal plate 301. The synchronous belt 303 is fitted onto the two synchronous gears 304. The output end of the horizontal motor 302 is coaxially connected to either synchronous gear 304. The vertical unit can slide along the axial direction of the horizontal plate 301. The connecting block 305 is placed on the horizontal plate 301, and its two ends are connected to one side of the synchronous belt 303 and the vertical unit, respectively. With the horizontal unit, when the horizontal motor 302 starts to work, it drives the synchronous gear 304 to rotate. Since the synchronous belt 303 is meshed with the two synchronous gears 304, the synchronous belt 303 will rotate with the rotation of the synchronous gears 304. The connecting block 305 is connected to one side of the synchronous belt 303 and the vertical unit. Therefore, the rotation of the synchronous belt 303 will cause the connecting block 305 and the vertical unit to move. The vertical unit is connected to the transport claw 6, thus enabling the transport claw 6 to move to the top of the first transport belt 1 or the top of the second transport belt 2.

[0032] Furthermore, the vertical unit of this solution includes a vertical plate 306, a vertical cylinder 307, a vertical guide rail 308, and a telescopic cylinder 309. The vertical plate 306 is vertically mounted on the horizontal plate 301. The vertical cylinder 307 is mounted on the top of the vertical plate 306. The vertical guide rail 308 is mounted on the vertical plate 306 and is located at the bottom of the vertical cylinder 307. The axial direction of the vertical guide rail 308 is the same as the axial direction of the vertical plate 306. The telescopic cylinder 309 is slidably mounted on the vertical guide rail 308 and is connected to the output end of the vertical cylinder 307. Two transport claws 6 are provided, and two output ends are provided on the telescopic cylinder 309. The extension and retraction directions of the output ends of the telescopic cylinder 309 are parallel to the axial direction of the first transport belt 1. The two transport claws 6 and the two output ends of the telescopic cylinder 309 are matched one-to-one. Any transport claw 6 is positioned opposite the telescopic cylinder 309. At the corresponding output end, two transport claws 6 respectively clamp two protective rods 403; by setting up a vertical unit, when the vertical cylinder 307 starts working, the vertical cylinder 307 will drive the telescopic cylinder 309 to slide along the axial direction of the vertical guide rail 308. Since the output end of the telescopic cylinder 309 is connected to the transport claw 6, the height of the transport claw 6 is changed; it should be noted that the telescopic cylinder 309 in this solution has two output ends, which are respectively set opposite to each other, and there are also two transport claws 6, which are respectively set on the two output ends. When the vertical cylinder 307 controls the transport claw 6 to descend to the specified height, the output end of the telescopic cylinder 309 retracts, controlling the distance between the two transport claws 6 to decrease, so that the two transport claws 6 respectively clamp the two protective rods 403, realizing the clamping of the transport pallet and transporting it to the second conveyor belt.

[0033] Furthermore, the transport claw 6 in this solution includes a vertical transport claw 601 and a horizontal transport claw 602. The vertical transport claw 601 is vertically positioned at one end of the horizontal transport claw 602, forming an "L" shape. The vertical transport claw 601 is connected to the output end of the telescopic cylinder 309. The two horizontal transport claws 602 together support the two protective rods 403. It should be noted that the two vertical transport claws 601 abut against the sides of the protective rods 403 on both sides of the bottom tray 4, and the two horizontal transport claws 602 abut against the bottom ends of the protective rods 403 on both sides of the bottom tray 4, thereby clamping and lifting the transport tray. It should also be noted that the two vertical transport claws 601 in this solution also abut against the sides of the connecting rods 502 on both sides of the top tray 5, thereby increasing the stability of the top tray 5 when lifting the transport tray.

[0034] Since the top tray 5 is directly mounted on the bottom tray 4, in order to further increase the stability of the top tray 5 when the transport claw 6 grips the transport tray, the bottom tray 4 must not shake arbitrarily during the gripping process. Based on this, the protective rod 403 of this solution has a limiting groove, the length of which is equal to the width of the transport horizontal claw 602. This setting ensures that the bottom tray 4 cannot shake after the transport horizontal claw 602 and the limiting groove of the protective rod 403 cooperate with each other, thereby ensuring the stability of the top tray 5. In addition, the top surface of the limiting groove fits against the end face of the transport horizontal claw 602, further improving the stability of the top tray 5 when the transport claw 6 grips the transport tray.

[0035] It is also worth noting that, to ensure that the top pallet 5 does not wobble, the transport component 3 in this solution also includes a flexible element 310. The flexible element 310 is located at the bottom of the vertical plate 306. When the transport claw 6 moves to the top of the first transport belt 1, the flexible element 310 is in contact with the top surface of the top support body 501. This arrangement can limit the wobbling of the top pallet 5 during the transport and gripping of the transport pallet, ensuring the overall stability of the transport claw 6 when gripping the transport pallet.

[0036] Furthermore, as described in the above embodiments, the transport pallet of this solution needs to be transported from the cleaning room to the operating room. Since the humidity in the cleaning room is high, and the operating room requires battery reassembly, the humidity in the operating room needs to be reduced to a certain level. To prevent humidity from the cleaning room from transferring to the operating room, a wall is installed between the two rooms to prevent moisture from moving from the cleaning room to the operating room. Since the second conveyor belt 2 passes through both the cleaning room and the operating room, the wall has slots through which the second conveyor belt 2 passes. To ensure dryness in the operating room, this solution also includes a protective cover 7, which is placed over the second conveyor belt 2. The outer wall of the protective cover 7 is sealed to the slots in the wall, and the gap between the protective cover 7 and the slots in the wall is sealed with a sealing tape.

[0037] Furthermore, this solution also includes a sealing door 9 and a sealing cylinder 8. The sealing cylinder 8 is located inside the protective cover 7, and its output end is connected to the sealing door 9. The protective cover 7 has a connecting slot, allowing the sealing door 9 to lock or release its sealing engagement with the connecting slot. Under normal conditions, the sealing door 9 maintains its sealing engagement with the connecting slot, isolating the interior of the protective cover 7 from the cleaning area but connecting it to the operating area. When a transport pallet moves to the protective cover 7, the sealing door 9 prevents it from moving inside. The sealing cylinder 8 releases the sealing door 9 from its sealing engagement with the protective cover 7, allowing the transport pallet to move inside the protective cover 7 and reach the operating area. The sealing door 9 then resets. It is worth noting that the protective cover 7 also includes a heating element 10 for evaporating water flowing from the cleaning area into the protective cover 7 when the sealing door 9 is open.

[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
