Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery cell stacking technology, and in particular to a cylindrical battery cell box stacking and unloading mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Cylindrical battery cell boxes are containers specifically designed for storing, transporting, and handling cylindrical battery cells. They are typically made of high-strength, anti-static engineering plastics or metals and have internal positioning slots or partitions that precisely fit the dimensions of the cylindrical battery cells. This effectively prevents the cells from shaking or colliding during handling and storage, enabling efficient storage, retrieval, and transfer of the cells and improving production and warehousing management efficiency.

[0003] With the rapid development of electric vehicles and energy storage devices, the demand for cylindrical cells has surged. Traditional manual or semi-automatic loading and unloading methods are inefficient and prone to errors, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production. Therefore, a cylindrical cell loading and unloading mechanism is needed.

[0004] Currently, cylindrical battery cell unloading mechanisms on the market mainly consist of a clamp, a moving mechanism, and a control system. During use, the control system controls the clamp, and the moving mechanism moves the cylindrical battery cell. However, when the cylindrical battery cell is not positioned accurately, the clamp may not hold securely. To solve this problem, existing technology adds a positioning mechanism to the bottom of the clamp to improve its positional accuracy. However, this method has a relatively fixed operating cycle and is inconvenient for stacking and unloading multiple cylindrical battery cell cells at once, reducing the device's efficiency and failing to meet user needs.

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.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4This utility model provides an embodiment of a cylindrical battery cell material box stacking and unloading mechanism, including a fixed frame 1. Support frames 3 are provided on the left and right sides of the bottom of the fixed frame 1. Multiple stacking boxes 4 are equidistantly arranged on adjacent sides of the two support frames 3. Slots 5 are provided on the left, right, front, and rear sides of the top of the multiple stacking boxes 4. Insertion blocks 6 are fixedly connected to the left, right, front, and rear sides of the bottom of the multiple stacking boxes 4. The insertion blocks 6 respectively engage with the corresponding slots 5, allowing the multiple stacking boxes 4 to be stacked together. Movable plates 7 are provided on the far sides of the two support frames 3. First cylinders 8 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the two movable plates 7. Support plates 9 are fixedly connected to adjacent sides of the two first cylinders 8. The first cylinders 8 push the support plates 9 to move. Insert plates 10 are fixedly connected to adjacent sides of the two support plates 9, causing the support plates 9 to move. The two insert plates 10 respectively contact the corresponding stacking boxes 4. A pressing component is provided on the top of the fixed frame 1, and a moving component is provided on the inner side of the fixed frame 1. The component includes a lifting mechanism 2 on the top of each of the two support frames 3 on the opposite side. The lifting mechanism 2 is used to conveniently adjust the stacking quantity of the cylindrical battery cell boxes. The extrusion assembly includes a mounting frame 13, which is fixedly connected to the top rear side of the fixed frame 1. A second cylinder 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame 13. The bottom end of the second cylinder 14 passes through the mounting frame 13 and is fixedly connected to a push plate 15. The second cylinder 14 can drive the push plate 15 to move downward. The moving assembly includes a drive roller 17 and a conveyor belt 18. The two drive rollers 17 are rotatably connected to the front and rear sides of the interior of the fixed frame 1, respectively. The left and right sides of the outer walls of the two drive rollers 17 are respectively connected by the corresponding conveyor belts 18. The bottom of the two conveyor belts 18 are respectively fixedly connected to the corresponding support frame 3. A second motor 19 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the left wall of the fixed frame 1. The output end of the second motor 19 passes through the fixed frame 1 and is fixedly connected to the rear drive roller 17. The second motor 19 drives the drive roller 17 to rotate, thereby driving the conveyor belt 18 to run.

[0033] Specifically, when using this device to stack cylindrical battery cell boxes, the first cylinder 8 pushes the support plate 9 to move. When the support plate 9 moves under the drive of the first cylinder 8, it will drive the insert plate 10 to insert into the bottom of the stacking box 4, ensuring that the stacking box 4 can be fixed between the two support frames 3. Then, the second cylinder 14 drives the push plate 15 to move downward, squeezing the stacking box 4, which can stack the stacking box 4. The second motor 19 drives the drive roller 17 to rotate, thereby driving the conveyor belt 18 to run, so that the stacking box 4 can move to the designated unloading position. When it reaches the unloading position, the first cylinder 8 drives the insert plate 10 to retract through the support plate 9, thereby completing the unloading work. This allows the device to continuously stack and unload multiple cylindrical battery cell boxes, improving the working efficiency of the device and meeting the needs of users.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The lifting mechanism 2 includes hollow plates 201. Two hollow plates 201 are fixedly connected to the top of the opposite side of the support frame 3. Rotating rods 202 are rotatably connected to the inner rear ends of both hollow plates 201. Worms 203 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the outer walls of both rotating rods 202. The rotating rods 202 drive the worms 203 to rotate. Threaded rods 204 are rotatably connected to the front and rear sides of the inner bottom ends of both rotating rods 202. Worm wheels 205 are fixedly connected to the upper middle parts of the outer sides of multiple threaded rods 204. Multiple worm wheels 205 are respectively meshed with the corresponding worms 203. When the worms 203 rotate, the worm wheels 205 drive the threaded rods 204 to rotate. The bottom ends of multiple threaded rods 204 penetrate the corresponding hollow plates 201 and are threadedly connected to the movable plate 7. When 04 rotates, the movable plate 7 will move accordingly. A control component is provided on the inner side of the hollow plate 201. The control component includes a driven bevel gear 206. Two driven bevel gears 206 are fixedly connected to the right end of the corresponding rotating rod 202. A first motor 207 is fixedly connected to the front end of the left wall of the left hollow plate 201. A transmission rod 208 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 207. The first motor 207 will drive the transmission rod 208 to rotate. The right end of the transmission rod 208 passes through the two hollow plates 201 in sequence. Both sides of the outer wall of the transmission rod 208 are fixedly connected to the driving bevel gears 209. The two driving bevel gears 209 are respectively meshed with the corresponding driven bevel gears 206. When the driving bevel gears 209 rotate, the driven bevel gears 206 will drive the rotating rod 202 to rotate.

[0035] Specifically, when it is necessary to adjust the number of stacked materials, the first motor 207 is started. The first motor 207 drives the transmission rod 208 to rotate. The transmission rod 208, as a connecting part, drives the driving bevel gear 209 to rotate. The driven bevel gear 206, which meshes with the driving bevel gear 209, will also start to rotate, thereby driving the rotating rod 202 to rotate. The rotating rod 202 will then drive the worm 203 to rotate. Since the worm 203 meshes with the worm wheel 205, the worm wheel 205 will drive the threaded rod 204 to rotate, thereby driving the movable plates 7 on both sides to move synchronously. This allows the number of stacked materials to be adjusted, improving the practicality of the device.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4Guide posts 16 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the top of the push plate 15. The top of the multiple guide posts 16 passes through the mounting frame 13. The guide posts 16 can guide the movement of the push plate 15. Limiting rods 11 are fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the opposite side of the two support plates 9. Limiting plates 12 are fixedly connected to the opposite side of the bottom of the two movable plates 7. One end of the multiple limiting rods 11 passes through the corresponding limiting plate 12. The movement of the movable plate 7 is more accurate through the limiting rods 11.

[0037] Specifically, the guide post 16 can guide the movement of the push plate 15, making the movement of the push plate 15 more precise. Through the cooperation of the limit rod 11 and the limit plate 12, the movement accuracy of the support plate 9 can be improved.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 Multiple fixing blocks 20 are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the top left and right sides of the fixed frame 1, and baffles 21 are fixedly connected on the front and rear sides of the two support frames 3. The baffles 21 can prevent the stacking box 4 from shaking.

[0039] Specifically, the device can be easily fixed by the fixing block 20, and the baffle 21 is used to prevent the stack box 4 from shaking when moving.

[0040] Working principle: When stacking cylindrical battery boxes using this device, the first cylinder 8 pushes the support plate 9 to move, and the support plate 9 will drive the insert plate 10 to insert into the bottom of the stacking box 4, thus fixing the stacking box 4 between the two support frames 3. The second cylinder 14 then drives the push plate 15 to move downward, which can squeeze the stacking box 4, thereby completing the stacking of cylindrical battery boxes. The second motor 19 drives the drive roller 17 to rotate, thereby moving the stacking box 4 to the unloading position. The first cylinder 8 then drives the insert plate 10 to retract through the support plate 9, thus completing the unloading work of the device. It can stack and unload multiple cylindrical battery boxes at the same time.

[0041] When it is necessary to adjust the number of stacked materials, the first motor 207 is started. The first motor 207 drives the transmission rod 208 to rotate, and the transmission rod 208 drives the driving bevel gear 209 to rotate. Since the driven bevel gear 206 meshes with the driving bevel gear 209, the driven bevel gear 206 will drive the rotating rod 202 to rotate. The rotating rod 202 will drive the worm 203 to rotate. Since the worm wheel 205 meshes with the worm 203, when the worm 203 rotates, the worm wheel 205 will drive the threaded rod 204 to rotate, which can drive the movable plates 7 on both sides to move synchronously, thereby adjusting the number of stacked materials of the device.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
