Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an important structure for battery palletizing, and in particular to a battery conveying and palletizing mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] After the battery assembly process is completed, it needs to be stacked to facilitate subsequent movement and the next process. However, many existing factories still use manual labor to handle and stack the batteries that are transported from the assembly line. Due to the large weight of the batteries, manual stacking requires a lot of manpower and has very low efficiency. It usually requires multiple people to stack the batteries, resulting in high labor costs. In addition, the stacking process can easily lead to uneven stacking, affecting the stacking quality. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a battery conveying and palletizing mechanism that can solve at least one of the above problems.

[0004] According to one aspect of the present invention, a battery conveying and palletizing mechanism is provided, including a conveying frame, a conveying roller, a lifting device, and a clamping device. The conveying roller is disposed on the conveying frame, the lifting device is disposed at the tail end of the conveying roller, and the clamping device is disposed corresponding to the lifting device. A pushing device is provided on one side of the conveying frame. The pushing device includes a pushing cylinder and a pushing plate. The pushing cylinder is fixed on the conveying frame, and the pushing plate is connected to the piston rod of the pushing cylinder and is disposed corresponding to the conveying roller.

[0005] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By providing a lifting device at the tail end of the conveyor frame, the battery can be easily lifted upwards. Then, the battery on the lifting device is clamped by the clamping device, and the battery is removed from the conveyor roller by the clamping device. No manual operation is required, which greatly saves labor and improves the stacking efficiency. At the same time, by providing a pushing device, the pushing plate can act on the battery, which facilitates the neat transport of the battery, thereby facilitating the neatness of subsequent stacking and ensuring the stacking quality.

[0006] In some implementations, the conveyor frame is equipped with a flow bar, which is positioned opposite to the pusher plate. This allows the pusher plate to push the batteries towards one side of the flow bar, guiding and conveying the batteries to ensure consistent output positions for each battery.

[0007] In some embodiments, the pushing device further includes a mounting frame and guide rods. The mounting frame is fixed to the outside of the conveying frame, and the pushing cylinder is fixed to the mounting frame. The guide rods are arranged parallel to the piston rod of the pushing cylinder. One end of the guide rod is fixed to the push plate, and the other end extends through the mounting frame. There are two guide rods, located on opposite sides of the pushing cylinder. Therefore, by providing guide rods, the stability of the force exerted by the pushing cylinder on the push plate can be improved, facilitating the smooth pushing of the battery by the push plate.

[0008] In some embodiments, a limiting block is fitted onto the other end of the guide rod, with the limiting block and the push plate located on opposite sides of the mounting bracket. Thus, by providing the limiting block, the extension amount of the push plate can be limited, thereby preventing excessive pressure on the battery by the push plate and the flow strip, and preventing battery deformation due to pressure.

[0009] In some embodiments, the lifting device includes a lifting cylinder and a lifting block. The lifting cylinder is fixed below the conveyor frame, and the lifting block is connected to the piston rod of the lifting cylinder. The top end of the lifting block can extend beyond the top end of the conveyor roller. Thus, the lifting cylinder can push the lifting block upward, thereby pushing the battery conveyed on the conveyor roller upward, making it easier for the clamping device to clamp the battery.

[0010] In some embodiments, a battery conveying and palletizing mechanism further includes a blocking device, which comprises a blocking cylinder and a baffle. The blocking cylinder is located below the conveyor frame, and the baffle is connected to the piston rod of the blocking cylinder. The top of the baffle can extend beyond the top of the conveying roller. The blocking device is located between the pushing device and the lifting device. Thus, the blocking cylinder can push the baffle upward to block the batteries, ensuring that the batteries are conveyed one by one to the lifting device, achieving orderly battery conveying.

[0011] In some embodiments, the clamping device includes a clamping frame, a battery support strip, a pressure block, a moving assembly, and a moving frame. The clamping frame is located outside the conveyor frame, the moving assembly is mounted on the clamping frame and connected to the moving assembly, the battery support strip is mounted on the moving frame, and the pressure block is located above the battery support strip. Thus, the battery can be clamped by the battery support strip and the pressure block, facilitating battery movement.

[0012] In some embodiments, the clamping frame is equipped with a clamping cylinder, the pressure block is connected to the piston rod of the clamping cylinder, and a rubber block is provided at the bottom end of the pressure block. Thus, by providing a clamping cylinder, the pressure block can be moved up and down, thereby controlling the clamping state of the battery.

[0013] In some embodiments, the moving component includes a servo motor and a timing belt. The servo motor is fixed to the clamping frame, and the timing belt is connected to the output shaft of the servo motor. The top end of the moving frame is clamped onto the timing belt. Thus, the various structures of the moving component facilitate the movement of the moving frame. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Reference Figures 1-4 A battery conveying and palletizing mechanism includes a conveying frame 1, a conveying roller 2, a lifting device 3, and a clamping device 4. The conveying roller 2 is mounted on the conveying frame 1, the lifting device 3 is located at the tail end of the conveying roller 2, and the clamping device 4 is correspondingly arranged with the lifting device 3. A pushing device 5 is provided on one side of the conveying frame 1. The pushing device 5 includes a pushing cylinder 51 and a pushing plate 52. The pushing cylinder 51 is fixed on the conveying frame 1, and the pushing plate 52 is connected to the piston rod of the pushing cylinder 51 and is correspondingly arranged with the conveying roller 2.

[0020] In actual use, the conveyor roller 2 is connected to an external motor, which drives the conveyor roller 2 to rotate, thereby conveying the batteries 10 on the conveyor roller 2. The motor-driven conveyor roller 2 conveying is a standard battery conveying structure and will not be described in detail here. When the batteries to be stacked are conveyed to the lifting device 3 via the conveyor roller 2, the lifting device 3 lifts the batteries upwards. Subsequently, the clamping device 4 clamps the batteries, facilitating their removal from the conveyor roller 2 for stacking.

[0021] The conveyor frame 1 is equipped with a flow bar 6, which is positioned opposite to the pusher plate 52. Specifically, when the battery on the conveyor roller 2 is conveyed to the pusher device 5, the piston rod of the pusher cylinder 51 extends; the piston rod of the pusher cylinder 51 drives the pusher plate 52 to push it to one side of the flow bar 6, thereby pushing the passing battery to one side of the flow bar 6, so that the battery is conveyed against the flow bar 6. The flow bar 6 guides the battery, making it easier to convey the battery neatly and to ensure the neatness of subsequent stacking.

[0022] The feeding device 5 also includes a mounting frame 53 and a guide rod 54. The mounting frame 53 is fixed on the outside of the conveying frame 1. The feeding cylinder 51 is fixed on the mounting frame 53. The guide rod 54 is arranged parallel to the piston rod of the feeding cylinder 51. One end of the guide rod 54 is fixed to the push plate 52, and the other end extends out after passing through the mounting frame 53. There are two guide rods 54, which are located on opposite sides of the feeding cylinder 51.

[0023] A limiting block 55 is fitted onto the other end of the guide rod 54. The limiting block 55 and the push plate 52 are located on opposite sides of the mounting frame 53. Therefore, when the pushing cylinder 51 drives the push plate 52 to extend, the push plate 52 pulls the guide rod 54 to move as well. When the limiting block 55 moves to the mounting frame 53 and abuts against it, the guide rod 54 cannot move further. At this time, the push plate 52 will also not move further, thus limiting the extension distance of the push plate 52. Therefore, when the battery passes the push plate 52, it can prevent the push plate 52 and the flow strip 6 from excessively squeezing the battery, preventing the battery surface from being squeezed and turning white, and ensuring the quality of the battery.

[0024] The lifting device 3 includes a lifting cylinder 31 and a lifting block 32. The lifting cylinder 31 is fixed below the conveyor frame 1, and the lifting block 32 is connected to the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 31. The top of the lifting block 32 can extend beyond the top of the conveyor roller 2. When a battery is conveyed to the lifting device 3, the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 31 extends upward, pushing the lifting block 32 upward, thereby pushing the battery above the lifting block 32 upward, making it convenient for the clamping device 4 to clamp the battery at its upper and lower ends. After the clamping device 4 removes the battery, the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 31 pulls the lifting block 32 downward, causing the top of the lifting block 32 to be pulled back below the top of the conveyor roller 2, without affecting the conveying of the next battery.

[0025] The battery conveying and stacking mechanism of this utility model also includes a blocking device 7, which includes a blocking cylinder 71 and a baffle 72. The blocking cylinder 71 is located below the conveying frame 1, and the baffle 72 is connected to the piston rod of the blocking cylinder 71. The top of the baffle 72 can extend beyond the top of the conveying roller 2. The blocking device 7 is located between the pushing device 5 and the lifting device 3.

[0026] In use, when the battery on the lifting device 3 is not clamped by the clamping device 4, the piston rod of the blocking cylinder 71 extends upward, pushing the baffle 72 upward so that the baffle 72 extends above the conveying roller, preventing the battery from continuing to be conveyed to the lifting device 3, thus facilitating the one-by-one conveying of the batteries. When the lifting block 32 of the lifting device 3 is pulled back downward, the blocking cylinder 71 pulls the baffle 72 downward, allowing the conveying roller to continue conveying the battery.

[0027] The clamping device 4 includes a clamping frame 41, a battery support strip 42, a pressure block 43, a moving component 44, and a moving frame 45. The clamping frame 41 is located outside the conveying frame 1. The moving component 44 is disposed on the clamping frame 41. The moving frame 45 is connected to the moving component 44. The battery support strip 42 is disposed on the moving frame 45. The pressure block 43 is located above the battery support strip 42.

[0028] In actual use, the clamping frame 41 can be connected to an external robotic arm, which makes it easy for the robotic arm to move the entire clamping device 4, thereby facilitating the movement of the batteries held by the clamping device 4 to the appropriate location for stacking.

[0029] The clamping frame 41 is equipped with a clamping cylinder 8, and the pressure block 43 is connected to the piston rod of the clamping cylinder 8. A rubber block 9 is glued and fixed to the bottom end of the pressure block 43. By providing the rubber block 9, wear on the battery can be reduced, thus protecting the battery. In actual use, a rubber block is also glued to the end face of the push plate 52 to protect the battery.

[0030] The moving component 44 includes a servo motor 441 and a synchronous belt 442. The servo motor 441 is fixed to the clamping frame 41, and the synchronous belt 442 is connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 441. The top end of the moving frame 45 is clamped and fixed to the synchronous belt 442 by bolts. A synchronous pulley is mounted on the output shaft of the servo motor 441, and a rotating shaft is mounted on the clamping frame 41. Synchronous pulleys are also fitted at both ends of the rotating shaft, and the synchronous belt 442 is fitted onto each synchronous pulley. This facilitates the servo motor 441 driving the synchronous belt 442 for transmission. Since the moving frame 45 is fixed to the synchronous belt 442, when the synchronous belt 442 is driven by the servo motor 441, it can drive the moving frame 45 to move; thus, the moving frame 45 can drive the battery holder 42 to move.

[0031] After the lifting device 3 lifts the battery upwards, the servo motor 441 drives the synchronous belt 442, which in turn moves the moving frame 45, causing the battery support strip 42 to move to the bottom of the battery and support it. Then, the piston rod of the clamping cylinder 8 extends downwards, causing the pressure block 43 to press down, pressing it firmly against the top of the battery. The combined action of the pressure block 43 and the battery support strip 42 clamps the battery. Subsequently, under external force or the action of an external robotic arm, the entire clamping frame 41 can be moved to facilitate moving the battery to the appropriate position. Once the battery is in place, the piston rod of the clamping cylinder 8 pulls back upwards, causing the pressure block 43 to move upwards, releasing the battery. Then, the servo motor 441 reverses direction, causing the moving frame 45 and the battery support strip 42 to move in the same direction, allowing the battery support strip 42 to be pulled out from the bottom of the battery, completing the battery stacking.

[0032] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
