Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of roll material loading and unloading equipment, specifically a roll material loading and unloading device. Background Technology

[0002] Lithium-ion battery separator rolls, a key material in lithium-ion battery manufacturing, are typically produced in continuous roll form and must be rolled into rolls by winding equipment before being transferred to subsequent processes. Currently, the weight of a single roll of this type of material generally exceeds 50 kg, and some new energy metal rolls even reach 800 kg. The considerable weight makes the neat stacking and orderly handling of these rolls a pressing issue that needs to be addressed.

[0003] Traditional production processes primarily rely on manual labor for loading, unloading, and stacking. Manual handling is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also poses significant safety hazards: operators are prone to accidents due to exhaustion or operational errors, leading to material damage; for large-diameter rolls, slippage or collisions are more likely when manually lifting them to the machine's head shaft, further exacerbating safety risks. While some existing automated loading and unloading devices can replace manual handling, they still lack layered support structures, resulting in disordered roll stacking and large space occupation. Furthermore, the rolls are prone to shifting or tilting during stacking, exhibiting poor stability and potentially affecting stacking accuracy and increasing the risk of product damage.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a roll material loading and unloading device to optimize the stacking structure, save labor costs, improve the efficiency of roll material stacking and retrieval, and reduce safety risks. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a roll material loading and unloading device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, so as to improve the efficiency of roll material stacking and retrieval and reduce safety risks.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A roll material loading and unloading device includes a base, on which a support frame for placing the roll material is disposed opposite to the base; a slide is movably mounted on the base, the slide moving in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the support frame; and a transfer component for transferring the roll material is movably mounted on the slide, the transfer component moving in the vertical direction of the slide.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: in order to facilitate the stacking of more rolls of material, a fixing plate is vertically provided on the base, the fixing plate is fixedly connected to one end of the support frame, and the number of support frames is at least two sets, which are evenly arranged on the fixing plate in the vertical direction.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: in order to assist in the fixed connection of the support frame and provide support, a connecting plate is fixedly connected between the multiple support frames for fixing the support frame.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: in order to ensure that the support frame and the connecting plate are firmly connected and do not come loose from each other, a plurality of pins are equidistantly arranged on the support frame along the axial direction, and the connecting plate is provided with a groove for engaging the pins.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: In order to make the connection between the pin and the groove more stable and reduce the difficulty of the pin being inserted into the groove, a limiting pad is provided in the groove, and a guide slope is provided on the outer side of the locking opening of the limiting pad to guide the pin into the limiting pad.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: in order to allow the slide to move on the base, a transmission rod is provided on the base, the axis of the transmission rod is parallel to the axis of the support frame, and the bottom of the slide is driven on the transmission rod.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model: In order to ensure the stability of the roll material during the stacking and retrieval process, at least two transmission rods are provided, and they are arranged opposite to each other on the outside of the support frame.

[0014] As a further embodiment of this utility model: in order to allow the transfer assembly to move in the vertical direction, a screw is provided inside the carriage along its length direction, and the transfer assembly includes a slider and a support block that are fixedly connected, with the slider threadedly sleeved on the screw.

[0015] As a further embodiment of this utility model: in order to ensure the stability of the roll material when placed on the support frame and the support block, the upper end of the support frame and the support block are provided with an arc-shaped groove adapted to the roll material, and the axial direction of the arc-shaped groove is consistent.

[0016] As a further embodiment of this utility model: in order to facilitate the transfer of roll materials, the bottom of the base is an arched structure, so that the equipment for transferring roll materials can enter and exit the bottom of the base for the transfer of roll materials.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] This utility model features a novel structure. Because the transfer component moves on the slide for loading and unloading roll materials, it avoids the safety hazards of manual handling and reduces labor intensity. The slide moves on the transmission rod, working in conjunction with multiple sets of opposing support frames on the fixed plate for stacking and retrieving the roll materials. This optimizes the stacking structure, improves stacking and retrieval efficiency, and enhances the safety of roll material placement. The snap-fit ​​connection between the pin and the groove improves the stability between the multiple support frames. The arched structure at the bottom of the base provides transfer space for the roll material transfer equipment. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations.

[0027] It should be noted that in the description of this application, the directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this application. The directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours relative to the outline of each component itself.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-5 In this embodiment of the invention, a roll material loading and unloading device includes a base 1. A transmission rod 11 is rotatably connected between the two side walls of the base 1 along the axial direction of the base 1. The transmission rod 11 is sleeved and connected to the bottom of a slide 3, allowing the slide 3 to move along the length of the transmission rod 11 for moving the roll material into and out of a support frame 2. The transfer assembly 4 includes a slider 41 and a moving block 42. The slider 41 is welded to the first end of a connecting block, and the second end of the connecting block is welded to a support block 42, fixing the slider 41 and the support block 42 together. A screw 31 is provided vertically inside the slide 3, and the slider 41 is threadedly engaged with the screw 31. The rotation of the screw 31 drives the slider 41 and the support block 42 to move up and down along the slide 3, adapting to support frames 2 of different heights for roll material stacking operations. In this embodiment, two transmission rods 11 are provided, positioned opposite each other on the upper sides of the upper surface of the base 1.

[0029] The bottom of the support frame 2 is welded to the upper surface of the base 1 along the axial direction. The support frame 2 is located between two transmission rods 11. Two opposing support frames 2 form a group, so that the two ends of the roll can be balanced by the two support frames 2. The fixing plate 12 is welded to the base 1 in the vertical direction. One end of the support frame 2 is welded to the fixing plate 12, so that the support frame 2 is perpendicular to the fixing plate 12. Multiple sets of support frames 2 can be evenly welded to the fixing plate 12 in the vertical direction. The distance between two adjacent support frames 2 is greater than the diameter of the roll, so that the roll can enter and exit between the two adjacent support frames 2, which is convenient for the roll to be stacked and retrieved. In this embodiment, three sets of support frames 2 are set. The upper surfaces of the support frame 2 and the support block 42 are provided with arc-shaped grooves. The exposed roller heads at both ends of the roll are placed in the arc-shaped grooves, so as to stably place the roll. The arc-shaped grooves on the support block 42 can also hold the roll without holding the roller heads when the roll is unloaded, thereby limiting the opening of the roll and facilitating the sealing process. The axial direction of the arc-shaped grooves is consistent, which facilitates the transfer and placement of the roll material between the support block 42 and the support frame 2.

[0030] Multiple pins 21 are evenly welded along the length of the support frame 2. A connecting plate 5 has grooves 51 that mate with the pins 21. The connecting plate 5 engages with the support frame 2, serving to fix and support multiple sets of support frames 2. The radius of the end of the pin 21 furthest from the support frame 2 is larger than the radius of the end closest to the support frame 2, preventing the connecting plate 5 from slipping along the axial direction of the pins 21. (Reference) Figure 5 The groove 51 is equipped with a limiting pad 52, and the outer side of the locking opening of the limiting pad 52 is provided with a guide slope 53 for guiding the pin 21 into the limiting pad 52. The limiting pad 52 is made of rubber, so that when the pin 21 abuts against the locking opening of the limiting pad 52, the locking opening can elastically deform, making it easier for the pin 21 to enter the limiting pad 52, and making the assembly and disassembly of the connecting plate 4 more convenient.

[0031] The bottom of base 1 has an arched structure. The space inside the arched structure can accommodate the bottom of the equipment for transferring the roll material, making it convenient for the equipment to enter and exit the bottom of base 1 for the transfer of the roll material.

[0032] This utility model has a novel structure and stable operation. When the roll material needs to be removed from the winding equipment for stacking, the screw 31 inside the drive carriage 3 is driven. Through the transmission between the screw 31 and the slider 41, the vertical height of the transfer component 4 is adjusted so that the support block 42 is located below the chuck of the winding equipment. After the chuck releases the roll material, the roller shafts at both ends of the roll material are placed into the arc-shaped groove of the support block 42. The vertical height of the transfer component 4 is then adjusted until it matches the height of the support frame 2 for stacking the roll material. Then, the drive rod 11 is driven. Through the transmission between the drive rod 11 and the carriage 3, the carriage 3 is moved to the upper part of the arc-shaped groove of the corresponding support frame 2. At this time, the height of the transfer component 4 is lowered, and the roller shafts at both ends of the roll material are transferred from the arc-shaped groove of the support block 42 to the arc-shaped groove of the support frame 2, thus completing the unloading and stacking of the roll material. During this process, the roll material is first stacked in the order of vertical columns into the arc-shaped grooves on the side closest to the fixed plate 12 of the multiple sets of support frames 2. After each vertical column is stacked, a connecting plate 5 is snapped onto the pin 51 to ensure stable support of the roll material. Then, the roll material is stacked into the arc-shaped grooves of the next vertical column until all the roll material is stacked.

[0033] When the roll material needs to be picked up, first remove the connecting plate 5 that is furthest from the fixed plate 12, and then pick up the roll material in vertical order. Drive the transmission rod 11, and through the transmission rod 11 and the slide 3, move the slide 3 to the arc groove below the corresponding support frame 2. Drive the screw 31 inside the slide 3, and through the transmission of the screw 31 and the slider 41, raise the vertical height of the transfer component 4, and transfer the roller shaft heads at both ends of the roll material from the arc groove of the support frame 2 to the arc groove of the support block 42. After driving the transmission rod 11 to move the slide 3 out of the support frame 2, adjust the vertical height of the transfer component 4 for the roll material to be picked up, and complete the roll material loading and picking work.

Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
