Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to automatic equipment technical field, concretely relates to a kind of transfer mechanism for lithium battery sealing body. BACKGROUND

[0002] After the battery cover is finished processing, the battery cover is usually quality detected to select out the battery cover that does not meet the quality requirement, and the selected battery cover is then encapsulated again to facilitate transfer and storage.

[0003] In the prior art, such as the Chinese utility model patent with the patent name of tray and tray assembly and the announcement number CN218975603U, it specifically discloses a tray for accommodating a plurality of battery cover plates, the tray allows the battery cover plates to be inserted one by one into the accommodating cavities in a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the battery cover plates. The accommodating cavities have a bottom wall and first and second side walls connected to the bottom wall, and the first and second side walls are arranged opposite to each other in a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the cover plates. The tray includes a first abutting portion connected to the wall surface of the accommodating cavity and used for abutting against the support; a second abutting portion connected to the wall surface of the accommodating cavity and used for abutting against one side of the pole assembly; and a third abutting portion connected to the wall surface of the accommodating cavity, and the third abutting portion is used for abutting against the other side of the pole assembly.

[0004] In the above-mentioned scheme, when the cover plates are accommodated in the accommodating cavities, the abutting portions collectively form a space between the outer peripheral wall and the inner wall surface of the accommodating cavities, so as to prevent the materials on the tray from being transferred to the battery top cover due to contact and friction. The tray assembly includes a plurality of stacked trays, which improves the feeding rate.

[0005] For example, the Chinese utility model patent with the patent name of a tray for loading battery covers and the announcement number CN114007946A specifically discloses that the tray includes first trays, each of which has a top surface with a first recess defined therein and a bottom surface with a second recess defined therein; and second trays, each of which has a top surface with a third recess defined therein and a bottom surface with a fourth recess defined therein, and the second trays are arranged above or below the first trays. When the first trays are arranged above the second trays, each of the second recesses and each of the third recesses are in communication with each other to provide a communication space, and when the first trays are arranged below the second trays, each of the first recesses and each of the fourth recesses are in communication with each other to provide a communication space, wherein the battery covers are installed in the first trays and the second trays in a vertical upright state.

[0006] In the above-mentioned scheme, since the battery covers are installed in the first trays and the second trays in a vertical upright state, more battery covers can be loaded per unit area.

[0007] But in the actual process, the battery cover is usually filled into the special tray by manual, the efficiency is relatively low, and since the battery cover in the tray is vertically inserted and the battery cover body is fragile and easy to deform, it is not suitable for the traditional mechanical hand to clamp and transfer, so it is difficult to introduce an automatic structure in the filling process of the battery cover to improve the overall conveying efficiency.

[0008] Therefore, a transfer mechanism for a lithium battery sealing body is provided to solve the above problems. Content of the utility model

[0044] Referring to the drawings Figures 2-3 The tray loading station 2 includes a conveying belt 21, the conveying belt 21 is vertically arranged with the feeding track 10 and is conveyed with the tray 3 above, the tray loading station 2 includes a tray unloading station 22, a feeding station 23 and a tray stacking station 24 along the conveying direction of the conveying belt 21, in work, the worker places a stack of trays 3 placed together on the tray unloading station 22, and the trays 3 are conveyed one by one to the tray stacking station 24 side along with the running of the conveying belt 21.

[0045] It should be noted that when the tray 3 is conveyed to the feeding station 23 between the tray unloading station 22 and the tray stacking station 24, the number of the tray 3 on the feeding station 23 at this time is only one, when the battery cover is filled on the tray 3, the conveying belt 21 at this time stops conveying, and after the tray 3 is filled with the battery cover, the conveying belt 21 is restarted and continues to drive to the tray stacking station 24 side, and is stacked at the tray stacking station 24, and after being stacked to a certain height, the worker removes the plurality of stacked trays 3.

[0046] Specifically, the tray 3 is provided with a plurality of clamping holes 31 for placing the battery cover, and the plurality of clamping holes 31 are arranged in a matrix. The tray loading station 2 further comprises a transfer piece 4 movably arranged on the machine body 1. The transfer piece 4 is located between the feeding track 10 and the conveying belt 21 and is used to convey the battery cover on the feeding track 10 to the tray 3.

[0047] Embodiment 3

[0048] This embodiment is based on embodiment 2, and further limits the movement mode of the transfer piece 4.

[0049] Referring to the accompanying Figures 1-3 In this embodiment, the machine body 1 is provided with a linear movement module 11, which comprises an X-axis movement module 111, a Y-axis movement module 112 and a Z-axis movement module 113. The transfer piece 4 is arranged on the Z-axis movement module 113, which is slidably arranged on the Y-axis movement module 112 in the vertical direction. The Y-axis movement module 112 is slidably arranged on the X-axis movement module 111 in the horizontal direction. The X-axis movement module 111 is movably arranged on the machine body 1 and located between the feeding track 10 and the conveying belt 21.

[0050] Specifically, the machine body 1 is provided with a first sliding rail for the X-axis movement module 111 to slide on. The first sliding rail is arranged above the feeding track 10 and perpendicular to the feeding track 10, and parallel to the conveying direction of the conveying belt 21. The Y-axis movement module 112 is arranged on the X-axis movement module 111 and provided with a second sliding rail for the Y-axis movement module 112 to slide on. The second sliding rail is arranged parallel to the feeding track 10 and perpendicular to the conveying belt 21.

[0051] The Y-axis movement module 112 is provided with a third sliding rail for the Z-axis movement module 113 to slide on. The third sliding rail is arranged vertically above the feeding track 10.

[0052] It should be noted that the movement of the X-axis movement module 111, the Y-axis movement module 112 and the Z-axis movement module 113 can be driven by motors, telescopic rods and other known devices, which will not be described in detail here.

[0053] Embodiment 4

[0054] This embodiment is based on embodiment 3, and further limits the transfer piece 4.

[0055] Referring to the accompanying Figures 2-4, specifically, the conveying piece 4 includes a plurality of suction cups 41 arranged linearly along the extension direction of the feeding track 10. First, a plurality of battery covers on the feeding track 10 are moved below the plurality of suction cups 41 and correspond to the plurality of suction cups 41 one by one. At this time, the Z-axis moving module 113 moves downward in the Y-axis moving module 112, so that the suction surface of the suction cup 41 is attached to the battery cover. At this time, the suction cup 41 provides negative pressure and sucks the battery cover below. Then the Z-axis moving module 113 returns to the original position, and the Y-axis moving module 112 moves above the tray 3 on the conveying belt 21. When moving above the tray 3, the Z-axis moving module 113 moves downward, so that the battery cover falls into the tray 3. After that, the Y-axis moving module 112 returns to the original position. Because the tray 3 has a plurality of columns of card holes 31 for placing battery covers, the X-axis moving module 111 moves to fill the card holes 31. After filling the tray 3, the conveying belt 21 starts to run and transports the filled suction cup 41 to the stacking station 24 for stacking.

[0056] The disassembling station 22 and the stacking station 24 each include a set of clamping pieces for lifting the tray 3 upward.

[0057] Referring to the accompanying drawings Figure 3 , specifically, the clamping piece includes lifting rods 25 symmetrically distributed on both sides of the width direction of the conveying belt 21. The lifting rod 25 can be embedded between the upper and lower adjacent two trays 3 and can be vertically guided on the machine body 1.

[0058] The two lifting rods 25 are oppositely distributed on both sides of the tray 3. The tray 3 in this embodiment has a groove on both sides, and the lifting rod 25 can be embedded in the groove in the tray 3. After clamping, the two lifting rods 25 move upward synchronously, which can lift the tray 3 and all the trays 3 above it, leaving only the lowermost tray 3. At this time, the conveying belt 21 is driven to work, moving the lowermost tray 3 away and then driving the lifting rod 25 to descend and reset. After the tray 3 being transported away completes the filling work, all the trays 3 above the lowermost tray 3 are lifted again.

[0059] The stacking station 24 is the same. When a new tray 3 is conveyed, the two lifting rods 25 move upward synchronously, which can lift the tray 3. When the new tray 3 is below the lifted tray 3, the lifting rod 25 resets, completing the stacking.

[0060] It is worth mentioning that the number of the plurality of card holes 31 on one side of the tray 3 in this embodiment is the same as the number of the plurality of suction cups 41, and the spacing between adjacent card holes 31 is the same as the spacing between adjacent suction cups 41. That is, when the tray 3 is lowered, the battery covers corresponding to the suction cups 41 in the same column are sucked at the same time, thereby improving the packaging efficiency.

[0061] Referring to the accompanying drawings Figure 4In order to avoid the battery cover being squeezed or displaced by contact when the suction cup 41 is lowered, the suction cup 41 in the embodiment is elastically movably installed on the bottom of the transfer member 4, the top of the suction cup 41 can slide up and down on the bottom of the transfer member 4, and a spring is arranged between the top of the suction cup 41 and the bottom of the transfer member 4, which can buffer when the suction cup 41 contacts the battery cover.

[0062] Embodiment 5

[0063] The embodiment is based on Embodiment 4, and further limits the conveying belt 21.

[0064] Referring to the drawings Figure 2 In the embodiment, the conveying belt 21 is provided with two parallel conveying belts. Since the conveying belt 21 is relatively smooth, and when the conveying of the tray 3 is stopped, the tray 3 may be slightly displaced forward due to inertia, and thus the suction cup 41 cannot accurately drop the battery cover into the clamping hole 31. Therefore, a vertical limiting baffle 12 is arranged on the machine body 1 and located between the loading station 23 and / or the tray disassembling station 22, and the limiting baffle 12 is located between the two conveying belts 21. When the conveying of the tray 3 is stopped at the loading station 23, the limiting baffle 12 is lifted to block the front end of the tray 3, so as to avoid the displacement of the tray 3.

[0065] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit the same. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments can be modified, or some technical features can be replaced by equivalent ones. Such modifications or replacements will not change the essence of the corresponding technical solutions out of the protection scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
