Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery manufacturing technology, and more specifically, to a conveying mechanism and a production device. Background Technology

[0002] In the mass production of lithium-ion batteries, the cell conveying system is a crucial link connecting production processes with packaging, warehousing, and other stages. Existing conveying systems mostly rely on a single power source.

[0003] For example, traditional roller conveyors or belt conveyors use a centralized motor to drive the entire line, resulting in a lack of independence between different channels. When different specifications of battery cells need to be conveyed separately, the system needs to be frequently started and stopped or the line speed adjusted, causing problems such as mismatched cycle times and equipment idling, which in turn affects the conveying efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a new technical solution for a conveying mechanism and a production device.

[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, a conveying mechanism is provided.

[0009] The first driving component is disposed on the side wall of the frame, and the number of the first driving components is the same as the number of the conveyor belts. The driving ends of the multiple first driving components correspond one-to-one with the multiple conveyor belts and form a transmission connection. Under the drive of the multiple first driving components, the multiple conveyor belts can transport independently.

[0010] Optionally, the conveying directions of the multiple conveyor belts are consistent.

[0011] Optionally, at least some of the conveyor belts have an angle between their conveying directions.

[0017] Optionally, it also includes a blocking member disposed at the end of the conveyor belt, the blocking member being used to block the workpiece being conveyed on the conveyor belt.

[0018] According to another aspect of the present invention, a production apparatus is provided, including the aforementioned conveying mechanism.

[0019] One technical advantage of this utility model is:

[0020] The conveying mechanism includes a frame, at least two conveyor belts, and a first driving member. The frame has a conveying surface. The conveyor belts are disposed on the conveying surface, and each conveyor belt can convey a workpiece in a predetermined direction. The first driving member is disposed on the side wall of the frame, and the number of the first driving members is the same as the number of the conveyor belts.

It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention.

[0030] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the invention or its application or use.

[0031] Technologies and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such technologies and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0032] In all the examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0033] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be discussed further in subsequent figures.

[0034] This invention provides a conveying mechanism that can be used for conveying battery cells during battery production, and also for conveying corresponding materials in other production processes.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the conveying mechanism provided by this utility model includes:

[0036] Frame 1, the frame 1 having a conveying surface;

[0037] At least two conveyor belts 2 are disposed on the conveying surface, and each conveyor belt 2 is capable of conveying a workpiece in a predetermined direction;

[0038] The first driving component 3 is disposed on the side wall of the frame 1, and the number of the first driving components 3 is the same as the number of the conveyor belts 2. The driving ends of the multiple first driving components 3 correspond one-to-one with the multiple conveyor belts 2 and form a transmission connection. Under the drive of the multiple first driving components 3, the multiple conveyor belts 2 can transport independently.

[0039] Specifically, the frame 1, as the basic support structure of the conveying mechanism, can be welded from high-quality carbon structural steel to ensure the rigidity and stability of the overall conveying mechanism. The top of the frame 1 forms a horizontal conveying surface to facilitate reliable transport of the workpiece.

[0040] The surface of the conveyor can be precision machined to ensure the smooth operation of the conveyor belt 2. The four legs of the frame 1 are equipped with adjustable anchor bolts to adapt to different ground conditions and ensure the levelness of the frame 1, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the conveyor structure.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, on the conveying surface of the frame 1, two, three or even more conveyor belts 2 can be arranged side by side along the length direction, that is, the conveying direction; multiple conveyor belts 2 can also be arranged with some different conveying directions and others the same; multiple conveyor belts 2 can also be arranged with completely different conveying directions to adapt to different conveying needs.

[0042] The number of first driving components 3 is set to be the same as the number of conveyor belts 2, so that each conveyor belt 2 can correspond to one first driving component 3, so as to form independent control of the conveyor belt 2.

[0043] Specifically, the driving ends of multiple first driving components 3 are configured to correspond one-to-one with multiple conveyor belts 2 and form a transmission connection, so that multiple first driving components 3 and multiple conveyor belts 2 can form a one-to-one power transmission, thereby enabling the multiple first driving components 3 to realize the independent driving of multiple conveyor belts 2, facilitating the independent control of the conveying process of multiple conveyor belts 2, and thus meeting different conveying needs.

[0044] Furthermore, each conveyor belt 2 is driven by an independent first drive unit 3, eliminating mutual interference between multiple conveyor belts 2 in traditional shared drive source systems. Each conveyor belt 2 can independently adjust its running speed according to actual needs to achieve parallel conveying of multiple workpieces, thereby improving conveying efficiency. In addition, independent control also enables the conveyor belt 2 to quickly respond to workpiece arrival signals, reducing waiting time, facilitating the continuity and rhythm of the conveying process, and improving the flexibility and compatibility of production lines using this conveying mechanism.

[0045] Furthermore, since the multiple first drive components 3 and multiple conveyor belts 2 are driven independently on a one-to-one basis, when one conveyor belt 2 fails, it will not affect the normal operation of the other conveyor belts 2. This can shorten the downtime of the conveying structure, facilitate the maintenance and replacement of individual conveyor belts 2 or individual first drive components 3, reduce maintenance costs, and improve maintenance efficiency.

[0046] Multiple first driving components 3 can be installed on the side wall of the same side of the frame 1, or multiple first driving components 3 can be installed on the side walls of different sides of the frame 1. Both methods can utilize the side wall space of the frame 1, which is conducive to improving the space utilization rate of the conveying mechanism.

[0047] In one embodiment, a mounting cavity can be provided on the side wall of the frame 1, and the first drive component 3 can be disposed in the mounting cavity. The mounting cavity is provided with heat dissipation and ventilation holes to facilitate heat dissipation of the first drive component 3, thereby ensuring that the first drive component 3 can work normally.

[0048] In another embodiment, the first driving component 3 may include a motor and a reducer. The output shaft of the motor may be connected to the input shaft of the reducer via a coupling. The output shaft of the reducer may be connected to the corresponding conveyor belt 2 via a transmission structure to form a power transmission path of the first driving component 3-transmission structure-conveyor belt 2.

[0049] Optionally, the conveying directions of the plurality of conveyor belts 2 are consistent.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, multiple conveyor belts 2 can be arranged side by side so that the conveying directions of the multiple conveyor belts 2 are consistent, which facilitates the multiple conveyor belts 2 to jointly convey workpieces in the same direction, and can also avoid mutual interference between the multiple conveyor belts 2, thereby improving the conveying efficiency of the conveying mechanism.

[0051] Optionally, at least some of the conveyor belts 2 have an angle between their conveying directions.

[0052] Specifically, multiple conveyor belts 2 can be configured with some conveying directions being different and others being the same; or multiple conveyor belts 2 can be configured with completely different conveying directions to adapt to different conveying needs.

[0053] Optionally, it also includes a plurality of transmission components 4, which are respectively disposed on the frame 1. The plurality of transmission components 4 correspond one-to-one with the driving ends of the plurality of first driving components 3 and are connected thereto, and each conveyor belt 2 is connected to one of the transmission components 4.

[0054] Specifically, the transmission component 4 includes, but is not limited to, a transmission shaft, a transmission chain, and transmission gears. The transmission component 4 is used to transmit the driving force of the first driving component 3 to the corresponding conveyor belt 2, and form a power transmission path of first driving component 3-transmission component 4-conveyor belt 2, which facilitates independent control of the conveyor belt 2 by the first driving component 3.

[0055] Optionally, the transmission element 4 includes a drive shaft, and each of the conveyor belts 2 is wound onto one of the drive shafts.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, the end of the drive shaft is connected to the drive end of the first drive member 3, enabling the first drive member 3 to drive the drive shaft to rotate together. Each conveyor belt 2 is wound onto a drive shaft, so that the driving force of the first drive member 3 can be transmitted to the corresponding conveyor belt 2 through the drive shaft, forming a power transmission path of first drive member 3-drive member 4-conveyor belt 2, which facilitates independent control of the conveyor belt 2 by the first drive member 3.

[0057] Furthermore, by winding each conveyor belt 2 onto a drive shaft, reliable power transmission is ensured while avoiding interference with the conveying process of the conveyor belt 2, thus guaranteeing the conveying reliability of the conveying structure.

[0058] Optionally, it also includes a tensioning member 5, which is disposed at both ends of the drive shaft and is used to tension the conveyor belt 2 wound around the drive shaft.

[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, the tensioning element 5 includes a tensioning wheel or pulley. The tensioning element 5 applies preload to eliminate looseness in the conveyor belt 2 and prevent slippage during transmission. Regular adjustment of the tensioning element 5 extends the service life of the conveyor belt 2, reducing the need for frequent replacements and lowering the maintenance costs of the conveying mechanism.

[0060] In addition, the tensioner 5 can be arranged on the slack part of the conveyor belt 2 to lift or tighten the conveyor belt 2, thereby reducing the sagging and lateral vibration of the conveyor belt 2 caused by gravity. This helps the conveying mechanism to achieve long-distance or high-load conveying and can also prevent the edge of the conveyor belt 2 from wearing or material from spilling.

[0061] Optionally, it also includes a guide 6, which is disposed on the conveying surface and is used to guide the conveying of the workpiece on the conveyor belt 2.

[0062] Specifically, the guide component 6 includes, but is not limited to, guide rods and guide wheels, which are used to guide the conveying movement of the workpiece on the conveyor belt 2, prevent the workpiece from shifting, and thus ensure the reliability of the conveying mechanism.

[0063] Optionally, the guide member 6 includes a fixed rod 61 and a plurality of rollers 62 disposed on the fixed rod 61. Each side of the conveyor belt 2 is provided with one guide member 6. During the conveying process of the conveyor belt 2, the plurality of rollers 62 on both sides can form arc surface contact with the workpiece.

[0064] like Figure 1 As shown, the area enclosed by the fixing rods 61 on both sides is used for workpiece conveying, which limits the conveying movement of the workpiece on the conveyor belt 2 to avoid risks such as workpiece displacement. The multiple rollers 62 inside the fixing rods 61 guide the conveying movement of the workpiece on the conveyor belt 2, and at the same time, reduce damage to the workpiece surface through smooth arc contact, so as to avoid the conveying mechanism from adversely affecting the quality of the workpiece.

[0065] Optionally, it also includes a blocking member 7, which is disposed at the end of the conveyor belt 2 and is used to block the workpiece being conveyed on the conveyor belt 2.

[0066] like Figure 2 As shown, the blocking member 7 can move up and down under the control of the driving member, so as to block workpieces of different sizes at the end of the conveying, thereby preventing the workpieces from falling abnormally and improving the safety of the conveying mechanism.

[0067] According to another aspect of the present invention, a production apparatus is provided, including the aforementioned conveying mechanism, wherein the production apparatus shall include all the technical effects of the aforementioned conveying mechanism.

[0068] The above embodiments mainly describe the differences between the various embodiments. As long as the different optimization features between the various embodiments are not contradictory, they can be combined to form a better embodiment. For the sake of brevity, they will not be elaborated here.

Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
