Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lead-acid battery processing technology, and in particular to a chain conveyor device. Background Technology

[0002] Lead-acid batteries are devices that directly convert chemical energy into electrical energy. They are designed for rechargeability, achieving recharging through a reversible chemical reaction. They are a type of battery, belonging to the category of secondary batteries. Their working principle is as follows: during charging, external electrical energy regenerates the internal active materials, storing electrical energy as chemical energy. When discharging is needed, the chemical energy is converted back into electrical energy for output. After the power source is removed, it returns to its pre-discharge state, forming a chemical battery. Rechargeable batteries can be repeatedly charged and discharged; a battery is a battery pack composed of one or more individual cells.

[0003] A lead-acid battery acid filling machine is a piece of equipment used to inject electrolyte into lead-acid batteries during production, and it is a key step in battery manufacturing. During the acid filling process, the lead-acid batteries are transferred to a conveyor belt below the acid filling machine head. Then, the acid filling machine head is inserted into the battery pack to complete the acid filling.

[0004] Currently, the transfer of battery packs to the conveyor belt is mostly done manually. This process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is also difficult to set the production cycle for the production line, thus affecting production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as manual handling, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and has poor transportation results. It provides a chain plate conveyor device that requires no manual operation, saves time and labor, and provides stable and effective transportation.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a chain conveyor device, comprising:

[0007] A conveyor frame, wherein two parallel guide plates are installed on the top surface of the conveyor frame, the outer guide plate is provided with a clearance notch, and a limit baffle is installed at the end of the guide plate;

[0008] A conveyor belt, mounted on a conveyor frame, positioned between two guide plates, is used to transfer battery packs.

[0009] A pushing mechanism is installed on the side of the conveyor frame and is aligned with the clearance notch.

[0010] This device includes a conveyor frame constructed from welded profiles. Two guide plates are bolted to the top surface of the conveyor frame, and a conveyor belt is mounted on it for transporting battery packs. The conveyor belt is positioned between the two guide plates, which are mounted above it to guide the batteries. A clearance notch is provided on one side of each guide plate for the battery pack to be removed. A limit baffle is installed at the rear end of each guide plate to stop the battery pack at the clearance notch. A pushing mechanism is installed on the side of the conveyor frame, aligned with the clearance notch. When the battery pack is stopped at the limit baffle by the conveyor belt, the pushing mechanism pushes the battery pack out through the clearance notch, thus completing the transfer. This conveying device reduces manual operation, enables assembly line operation, improves work efficiency, and results in good transport performance.

[0011] Preferably, the inner sidewall of the front end of the guide plate is provided with a guide slope. The two guide plates can be adjusted and installed according to the size of the battery pack. The guide slope on the inner wall of the front end of the guide plate serves as a guide, facilitating the battery pack's entry between the guide plates during conveyor belt transport and improving the efficiency of transfer and transportation.

[0012] Preferably, the pushing mechanism includes a telescopic cylinder connected to the conveyor frame, with a push block connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder. The telescopic cylinder is mounted on the conveyor frame via a mounting plate, and the push block, which is a rubber block, is installed at the telescopic end of the cylinder. This structure enables the pushing of the battery pack, thereby reducing manual handling, enabling assembly line operations, improving work efficiency, and ensuring good transportation results.

[0013] Preferably, support rollers are installed inside both ends of the conveyor belt, with a rotating motor connected to the rear support roller. The rotating motor is mounted on a conveyor frame, and a support plate is installed inside the conveyor belt, contacting the conveyor belt. The support rollers at both ends of the conveyor belt, mounted on the conveyor frame, tension the conveyor belt. The rear support roller is connected to the rotating motor on the conveyor frame; the rotation of the motor drives the support roller to rotate, thus rotating the conveyor belt and transferring the battery packs on it. This enables assembly line operation and improves work efficiency. Furthermore, the support plate inside the conveyor belt, in contact with the belt, provides support, ensuring stability and efficient transport of the battery packs.

[0014] Preferably, the lower end of the conveyor belt is provided with several unpowered conveying rollers, which contact the conveyor belt. The unpowered conveying rollers at the lower end of the conveyor belt, in contact with the bottom surface of the lower end of the conveyor belt, support the conveyor belt, ensure that the conveyor belt is in a taut state, and guarantee the stability of the battery pack during transport, thus ensuring good transport efficiency.

[0015] Preferably, a storage platform is provided on the side of the conveyor frame, located near the guide plate port. This storage platform on the side of the conveyor frame is for storing battery packs, facilitating the robotic arm to pick up the battery packs and place them onto the conveyor belt, thereby improving the efficiency of the device and enhancing intelligent operation.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the conveyor belt can drive the battery pack for transportation, and the push mechanism can push the battery pack out at the set clearance notch to complete the transfer and transportation of the battery pack. This structure does not require manual operation when transferring batteries, improves the intelligence of transfer and transportation, and ensures the realization of assembly line operation; the support plate set inside the conveyor belt and the non-powered conveying roller set at the lower end of the conveyor belt can provide support for the conveyor belt, ensuring stable transportation and good transportation effect when transferring and transporting battery packs.

[0027] A plurality of unpowered conveyor rollers 11 are provided at the lower end of the conveyor belt 5, and the unpowered conveyor rollers 11 are in contact with the conveyor belt 5.

[0028] A platform 12 is provided on the side of the conveyor frame 1, and the platform 12 is located near the port of the guide plate 2.

[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Figure 1-2As shown, this device includes a conveyor frame 1, which is made of welded profiles. Two guide plates 2 are bolted to the top surface of the conveyor frame 1. A conveyor belt 5 is also installed on the conveyor frame 1, which is used to transfer the battery packs to be processed. The conveyor belt 5 is positioned between the two guide plates 2, with the guide plates 2 mounted above the conveyor belt 5, serving to guide the batteries. A clearance notch 3 is provided on one side of the guide plate 2 for the battery pack to be removed. A limit baffle 4 is installed at the tail end of the guide plate 2 to prevent the battery pack from moving, causing it to stop at the clearance notch. A pushing mechanism is installed on the side of the conveyor frame 1. The pushing mechanism is aligned with the clearance notch 3. When the battery pack is transferred by the conveyor belt 5 and stops at the limit baffle 4, the pushing mechanism can push the battery pack out from the clearance notch 3 to realize the transfer of the battery pack. This conveying device can reduce manual operation when transferring batteries, realize assembly line operation, improve work efficiency, and make the transportation effect good.
