Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lead-acid battery technology, specifically a conveying fixture for battery manufacturing. Background Technology

[0002] A battery is a cup, tank, or other container or composite container containing an electrolyte solution and metal electrodes to generate an electric current. It is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy and has positive and negative electrodes. With the advancement of technology, the term "battery" has come to refer to small devices that can generate electrical energy, such as solar cells. The main performance parameters of a battery are electromotive force, capacity, specific energy, and resistance. Using a battery as an energy source can provide a current with stable voltage, stable current, long-term stable power supply, and minimal susceptibility to external influences.

[0003] Batteries are typically placed in the grooves of a conveyor belt for transport. The grooves of the conveyor belt are fixed and cannot be moved, but the models and sizes of the batteries to be transported are not fixed, which limits the models of batteries that the conveyor belt can hold. In view of this, we propose a conveyor fixture for battery manufacturing. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a conveying fixture for battery manufacturing to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a conveying fixture for battery manufacturing, comprising a column, a crossbeam fixedly connected to the top end face of the column, a transverse conveying device fixedly connected to the side wall of the crossbeam, and a clamping assembly provided at the output end of the transverse conveying device, the clamping assembly comprising:

[0006] An electric linear actuator, wherein the output end of the electric linear actuator is fixedly connected to a mounting block, the side wall of the mounting block is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft, and the side wall of the mounting block is fixedly connected to a guide block;

[0007] The mounting frame has a trapezoidal block fixedly connected to its side wall. The mounting frame is rotatably connected to a rotating rod. A clamping arm is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod. An arc-shaped part is fixedly connected to the end of the clamping arm away from the rotating rod.

[0008] Preferably, the electric push rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the transverse conveying device, and the bottom of the guide block is arranged in an inverted triangle shape.

[0009] Preferably, the side wall of the mounting bracket has a slot, which is movably connected to the rotating shaft.

[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the clamping arm is movably connected to the battery body, and the inner top surface of the arc-shaped portion is movably connected to the bottom of the battery body.

[0011] Preferably, the inclined surface of the trapezoidal block is movably connected to the side wall of the guide block, and the guide block guides the trapezoidal block, allowing the trapezoidal block and the mounting bracket to rotate, thereby opening the clamping arm.

[0012] Preferably, there are two sets of clamping arms, trapezoidal blocks, and mounting frames. The two sets of clamping arms, trapezoidal blocks, and mounting frames are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting block, and the battery is clamped and transported by the two sets of clamping arms.

[0013] Preferably, a rubber strip is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the clamping arm. The rubber strip is arc-shaped and its inclination direction is away from the arc-shaped portion.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a conveying fixture for battery manufacturing, which has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. This battery manufacturing conveying fixture, through its clamping components, ensures that the clamping arm is always perpendicular to the horizontal plane. When closed, it forms a self-locking state. Even if the electric push rod is de-energized or no longer applies force, the clamping state can still maintain a certain stability and is not easy to loosen. The arc-shaped part at the bottom of the clamping arm slides down to the bottom after opening and then closes to clamp, so that it can cover the bottom contour of batteries of different thicknesses. As long as the battery size is within the designed clamping stroke range, there is no need to replace the fixture or adjust the parts. It is especially suitable for flexible production lines or multi-model mixed production lines.

[0016] 2. The battery manufacturing conveying fixture has rubber strips that enhance the gripping force of the clamping contact surface, which helps to prevent the battery from slipping off due to vibration or movement after clamping. When the clamping arm closes and the rubber strip presses against the battery, the rubber strip will wrap around the outer contour of the battery and generate a rebound squeezing force. The heavier the battery or the further it slides down, the stronger the clamping force of the rubber strip. Attached Figure Description

[0022] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a conveying fixture for battery manufacturing, including a column 1, a crossbeam 2 fixedly connected to the top end face of the column 1, a transverse conveying device 3 fixedly connected to the side wall of the crossbeam 2, and a clamping assembly 4 provided at the output end of the transverse conveying device 3. The clamping assembly 4 includes an electric push rod 401, a mounting block 402, a rotating shaft 403, a guide block 404, a mounting frame 405, a trapezoidal block 406, a rotating rod 407, a clamping arm 408, and an arc-shaped part 409.

[0023] In one embodiment of this utility model, an electric push rod 401 is fixedly connected to the output end of the transverse conveying device 3. An installation block 402 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 401. A rotating shaft 403 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the installation block 402. A guide block 404 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the installation block 402. The bottom of the guide block 404 is arranged in an inverted triangle shape.

[0024] The mounting bracket 405 has a slot on its side wall, which is movably connected to the rotating shaft 403. A trapezoidal block 406 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting bracket 405. The mounting bracket 405 is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 407. A clamping arm 408 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 407. An arc-shaped portion 409 is fixedly connected to the end of the clamping arm 408 away from the rotating rod 407. The inner wall of the clamping arm 408 is movably connected to the battery body 6. The inner top surface of the arc-shaped portion 409 is movably connected to the bottom of the battery body 6. The trapezoidal block... The inclined surface of 406 is movably connected to the side wall of the guide block 404. The guide block 404 guides the trapezoidal block 406, allowing the trapezoidal block 406 and the mounting bracket 405 to rotate, thereby opening the clamping arm 408. There are two sets of clamping arms 408, trapezoidal blocks 406 and mounting brackets 405. The two sets of clamping arms 408, trapezoidal blocks 406 and mounting brackets 405 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting block 402. The battery is clamped and transported by the two sets of clamping arms 408.

[0025] The transverse conveying device 3 moves the clamping assembly 4 above the battery body 6. Then, the electric push rod 401 pushes the mounting block 402 down, and the arc-shaped part 409 contacts the top of the battery body 6. At this point, the arc-shaped part 409 can no longer descend, while the mounting block 402 continues to descend, causing the slot and the rotating shaft 403 to move towards each other, and the guide block 404 and the trapezoidal block 406 to move towards each other. The guide block 404 pushes the trapezoidal block 406, so that the trapezoidal block 406, the mounting bracket 405, and the clamping arm 408 form a scissor-like structure. That is, the opposite movement of the two sets of trapezoidal blocks 406 drives the opposite movement of the two sets of clamping arms 408, causing the bottom of the clamping arm 408 to open, and the arc-shaped part 409 can slide to the bottom of the battery body 6. Then, the electric push rod 401 pulls the mounting block 402. As the battery rises, the mounting bracket 405 moves up and down on the pivot 403 due to gravity, which in turn resets the trapezoidal block 406, causing the clamping arm 408 to close. The inner top surface of the arc-shaped part 409 is movably connected to the bottom of the battery body 6, thus clamping the battery body 6. After closing, it forms a self-locking state, and the clamping arm 408 is always in a state perpendicular to the horizontal plane. Even if the electric push rod 401 is de-energized or no longer applies force, the clamping state can still maintain a certain stability and is not easy to loosen. The arc-shaped part 409 at the bottom of the clamping arm 408 slides to the bottom after opening and then closes to clamp, so that it can cover the bottom contour of the battery of different thicknesses. As long as the battery size is within the designed clamping stroke range, there is no need to replace the clamp or adjust the parts, which is especially suitable for flexible production lines or multi-model mixed production lines.

[0026] In addition, a rubber strip 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the clamping arm 408. The rubber strip 5 is arc-shaped and tilted away from the arc-shaped part 409. The rubber strip 5 itself has a high coefficient of friction. When installed on the inner wall of the clamping arm 408, it can enhance the gripping force of the clamping contact surface and help prevent the battery from slipping off due to vibration or movement after clamping. The tilting direction of the rubber strip 5 away from the arc-shaped part 409 means that it opens towards the outer edge of the bottom of the battery. When the clamping arm 408 is closed and the rubber strip 5 is pressed against the battery, the rubber strip 5 will wrap around the outer contour of the battery and generate a rebound squeezing force. The heavier the battery or the further it slides down, the stronger the clamping force of the rubber strip 5, reducing point pressure and slippage during the clamping process.

[0027] In this invention, during use, the transverse conveying device 3 moves the clamping assembly 4 above the battery body 6. Then, the electric push rod 401 pushes the mounting block 402 downward, and the arc-shaped part 409 contacts the top of the battery body 6. At this point, the arc-shaped part 409 can no longer descend, while the mounting block 402 continues to descend, causing the slot and the rotating shaft 403 to move towards each other, and the guide block 404 and the trapezoidal block 406 to move towards each other. The opposite movements of the two sets of trapezoidal blocks 406 drive the two sets of clamping arms 408 to move in opposite directions, causing the bottom of the clamping arms 408 to open, allowing the arc-shaped part 409 to slide down to the bottom of the battery body 6. Then, the electric push rod 401 pulls the mounting block 402 up. Due to gravity, the mounting bracket 405 moves up and down on the rotating shaft 403, and the trapezoidal block 406 is reset, so that the clamping arm 408 closes. The inner top surface of the arc-shaped part 409 is movably connected to the bottom of the battery body 6 to clamp the battery body 6. After closing, it forms a self-locking state. Even if the electric push rod 401 is de-energized or no longer applies force, the clamping state can still maintain a certain stability. It can cover the bottom contour of batteries of different thicknesses. As long as the battery size is within the designed clamping stroke range, there is no need to replace the clamp or adjust the parts.

[0028] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
