Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery processing technology, specifically to a conveying fixture for PACK processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the battery manufacturing industry, PACK usually refers to the abbreviation of Battery Pack, which refers to the assembly of individual cells into a battery pack through a certain connection method (such as series, parallel or series-parallel combination), and the addition of components such as battery management system (BMS), thermal management, mechanical structure, electrical and electronic control, forming a battery system that can be used independently.

[0003] In the battery production process, the batteries are mainly transported to the polarity detection station by fixtures on the conveyor line. The detection equipment in the polarity detection station examines the terminals on the top of the battery from above the fixture to confirm that the positive and negative terminals of the battery are correct.

[0004] However, most existing fixtures are suitable for transporting cylindrical or square lithium battery cells with top-mounted terminals to polarity testing stations for polarity testing, but not for transporting blade batteries with side-mounted terminals to the same polarity testing station. This makes it impossible to use the same fixtures for transporting lithium battery cells and blade batteries, greatly reducing the versatility of the fixtures. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a conveying fixture for PACK processing, which allows the surface of the carrier plate to switch between a horizontal and a vertical state through a rotating mechanism. This enables lithium battery cells with top terminals and blade batteries with side terminals to be transported by the carrier plate with the terminals facing upwards to the polarity detection station for polarity testing, thereby improving the versatility of the conveying fixture.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A conveying fixture for PACK processing includes a base plate, a support plate, a carrying plate, and a rotating mechanism. The base plate is connected to a conveyor line. The support plate is disposed on the base plate. The surface of the carrying plate is used to mount batteries. The rotating mechanism is disposed on the side wall of the support plate and connected to the carrying plate. The rotating mechanism is used to position the carrying plate in a first state or a second state. The first state is that the surface of the carrying plate is horizontal, and the second state is that the surface of the carrying plate is vertical.

[0008] A further embodiment is: the number of the support plates is set to two; the two support plates are arranged opposite each other, and the rotating mechanism is provided on the side of the two support plates that are close to each other; the two rotating mechanisms are respectively connected to the two ends of the carrying plate.

[0009] A further embodiment is that the rotating mechanism includes a rotating shaft; the rotating shaft is rotatably disposed on the side wall of the support plate, and the rotating shaft is connected to the carrying plate.

[0010] A further embodiment is as follows: the rotating mechanism further includes a first connecting member; the side wall of the support plate is provided with a first positioning hole; the end face of the carrying plate is provided with a second positioning hole, the second positioning hole corresponding to the first positioning hole; when the carrying plate is in the first state, the first connecting member is connected to the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole.

[0011] A further proposed solution is to have two first positioning holes, which are located on opposite sides of the rotating shaft.

[0012] A further embodiment is that the rotating mechanism also includes a second connecting member; the side wall of the support plate is also provided with a third positioning hole; when the carrying plate is in the second state, the second connecting member is connected to the third positioning hole and the second positioning hole.

[0013] A further embodiment is that the rotating mechanism further includes an adapter plate and a third connector; the adapter plate is connected to one end of the rotating shaft near the carrying plate; the adapter plate has a first connecting hole; the carrying plate has a second connecting hole; and the third connector is connected to the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole.

[0014] A further improvement is that the surface of the carrier plate is provided with fixing holes.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] A support plate is connected to a base plate, and a rotating mechanism is located at the upper end of the support plate and connected to a carrier plate. The rotating mechanism allows the carrier plate to switch between horizontal and vertical positions. This enables lithium battery cells with top-mounted terminals and blade batteries with side-mounted terminals to be transported by the carrier plate with the terminals facing upwards to the polarity testing station for polarity testing, thereby improving the versatility of the transport fixture.

[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] A pack processing conveyor fixture, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the device includes a base plate 1, a support plate 2, a carrying plate 3, and a rotating mechanism 4. The base plate 1 is connected to the conveyor line; the support plate 2 is disposed on the base plate 1; the surface of the carrying plate 3 is used to mount batteries; the rotating mechanism 4 is disposed on the side wall of the support plate 2 and is connected to the carrying plate 3. The rotating mechanism 4 is used to position the carrying plate 3 in a first state or a second state; wherein, the first state is that the surface of the carrying plate 3 is in a horizontal state, and the second state is that the surface of the carrying plate 3 is in a vertical state.

[0030] For example, in implementation, the base plate 1 is used to connect to the conveyor line to ensure that the base plate 1 can be transported sequentially to each processing station along the production line.

[0031] The support plate 2 is connected to the base plate 1 by means of welding, screwing, or integral molding.

[0032] The surface of the carrier plate 3 is configured to carry the battery.

[0033] The rotating mechanism 4 is located at the upper end of the support plate 2 and is connected to the carrying plate 3.

[0034] When the carrier plate 3 needs to support cylindrical or square lithium battery cells with top-mounted terminals and transport them to the polarity testing station for polarity testing, the self-rotating mechanism 4 drives the carrier plate 3 to rotate in the vertical plane to the first state. At this time, the surface of the carrier plate 3 is horizontal, and the lithium battery cells can be placed on the surface of the carrier plate 3. This allows the lithium battery cells to be transported to the polarity testing station while the carrier plate 3 moves with the base plate 1 on the conveyor line. At the same time, it facilitates the testing equipment in the polarity testing station to inspect the top terminals of the lithium battery cells from above the carrier plate 3 to confirm that the positive and negative terminals of the lithium battery cells are accurate.

[0035] When the carrier plate 3 needs to support the side-mounted blade battery and transport it to the polarity testing station for polarity testing, the self-rotating mechanism 4 drives the carrier plate 3 to rotate in the vertical plane to the second state. At this time, the surface of the carrier plate 3 is vertical, allowing the blade battery to be placed on its surface with its terminals facing upwards. This achieves the goal of transporting the blade battery to the polarity testing station while the carrier plate 3 moves along the conveyor line with the base plate 1. Simultaneously, it facilitates the testing equipment in the polarity testing station to inspect the upper terminals of the blade battery from above the carrier plate 3 to confirm the accuracy of the positive and negative terminals.

[0036] The rotating mechanism 4 allows the surface of the carrier plate 3 to switch between a horizontal and a vertical position. This enables the carrier plate 3 to transport lithium battery cells with top-mounted terminals and blade batteries with side-mounted terminals to the polarity testing station for polarity testing with the terminals facing upwards, thereby improving the versatility of the transport fixture.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, based on the above embodiment 1, in this embodiment, the number of the support plates 2 is set to two; the two support plates 2 are arranged opposite to each other, and the rotating mechanism 4 is provided on the side of the two support plates 2 that are close to each other; the two rotating mechanisms 4 are respectively connected to the two ends of the carrying plate 3.

[0039] For example, in implementation, two support plates 2 are provided, which are arranged opposite each other on the base plate 1. Similarly, two rotating mechanisms 4 are provided, each mounted on one side of the two support plates 2 that are close to each other, and each connected to both ends of the carrying plate 3. In use, the support plates 2 and the corresponding rotating mechanisms 4 form a support member. The two support members provide support and balance to the carrying plate 3 from both ends, making the carrying plate 3 more stable during transitions and reducing the risk of tilting and swaying. Simultaneously, this effectively improves the stability when the battery is mounted on the carrying plate 3.

[0040] Example 3

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, based on the above embodiment 2, in this embodiment, the rotating mechanism 4 includes a rotating shaft 41; the rotating shaft 41 is rotatably disposed on the side wall of the support plate 2, and the rotating shaft 41 is connected to the carrying plate 3.

[0042] For example, in implementation, the aforementioned rotating mechanism 4 includes a rotating shaft 41, which is rotatably connected to the side wall of the support plate 2 via a shaft hole, bearing, or other means. The end of the rotating shaft 41 near the carrying plate 3 is connected to the carrying plate 3. This allows the carrying plate 3 to rotate via the rotating shaft 41, thereby achieving a transition from a horizontal to a vertical state or vice versa.

[0043] Example 4

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 Combination Figure 4 As shown, based on the above embodiment 3, in this embodiment, the rotating mechanism 4 further includes a first connecting member 42; the side wall of the support plate 2 is provided with a first positioning hole 5; the end face of the carrying plate 3 is provided with a second positioning hole 6, the second positioning hole 6 corresponding to the first positioning hole 5; when the carrying plate 3 is in the first state, the first connecting member 42 is connected to the first positioning hole 5 and the second positioning hole 6.

[0045] For example, in implementation, the aforementioned rotating mechanism 4 further includes a first connecting member 42, which can be a pin, bolt, or other type of fastener. A first positioning hole 5 is provided on the side wall of the support plate 2, and a second positioning hole 6 is provided on the end face of the carrying plate 3. When the carrying plate 3 is in a first state (i.e., a horizontal state), the second positioning hole 6 on the carrying plate 3 corresponds to the first positioning hole 5 on the support plate 2. At this time, the first connecting member 42 connects to the first positioning hole 5 on the support plate 2 and the second positioning hole 6 on the carrying plate 3. This achieves the purpose of fixing the carrying plate 3, effectively reducing the risk of the carrying plate 3 shifting or rotating due to inertia or external forces in a horizontal state, thereby ensuring the safety of the battery on the carrying plate 3 during transportation.

[0046] Example 5

[0047] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 Combination Figure 4 As shown, based on the above embodiment 4, in this embodiment, the number of the first positioning holes 5 is set to two, and the two first positioning holes 5 are respectively located on both sides of the rotating shaft 41.

[0048] For example, in the implementation process, there are two first positioning holes 5, which are located on both sides of the rotating shaft 41. Correspondingly, there are also two second positioning holes 6 and two first connecting pieces 42, and the two second positioning holes 6 are also located on both sides of the rotating shaft 41. When the carrying plate 3 is in a horizontal state, one first connecting piece 42 passes through one first positioning hole 5 and the corresponding second positioning hole 6, and the other first connecting piece 42 passes through another first positioning hole 5 and the corresponding second positioning hole 6, so that multiple fixing points are formed between the carrying plate 3 and the support plate 2, thereby effectively improving the stability of the carrying plate 3 in a horizontal state.

[0049] Example 6

[0050] like Figure 1 Combination Figure 3 As shown, based on the above embodiment 4, in this embodiment, the rotating mechanism 4 further includes a second connecting member 43; the side wall of the support plate 2 is also provided with a third positioning hole 7; when the carrying plate 3 is in the second state, the second connecting member 43 is connected to the third positioning hole 7 and the second positioning hole 6.

[0051] For example, in implementation, the aforementioned rotating mechanism 4 further includes a second connecting member 43, which can be a fastener similar to the first connecting member 42, such as a pin, bolt, or other type of fastener mechanism. A third positioning hole 7 is also provided on the side wall of the support plate 2. When the carrying plate 3 is in the second state (i.e., the vertical state), the second positioning hole 6 on the carrying plate 3 corresponds to the third positioning hole 7 on the support plate 2. At this time, the second connecting member 43 connects to the third positioning hole 7 on the support plate 2 and the second positioning hole 6 on the carrying plate 3. This achieves the purpose of fixing the carrying plate 3, effectively reducing the risk of displacement or rotation of the carrying plate 3 in the vertical state due to inertia or external forces, thereby ensuring the safety of the battery on the carrying plate 3 during transportation.

[0052] Example 7

[0053] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 Combination Figure 4 As shown, based on the above embodiment 3, in this embodiment, the rotating mechanism 4 further includes a transition plate 44 and a third connecting member; the transition plate 44 is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 41 near the carrying plate 3; a first connecting hole 8 is provided on the transition plate 44; a second connecting hole 9 is provided on the carrying plate 3; the third connecting member is connected in the first connecting hole 8 and the second connecting hole 9.

[0054] For example, in implementation, the aforementioned rotating mechanism 4 further includes an adapter plate 44 and a third connecting member. The adapter plate 44 is connected to the end of the rotating shaft 41 near the carrying plate 3 by welding, screwing, or integral molding. A first connecting hole 8 is formed on the surface of the adapter plate 44, and a second connecting hole 9 is formed on the carrying plate 3, corresponding to the first connecting hole 8. The third connecting member can be a fastener similar to the first connecting member 42 and the second connecting member 43, such as a pin, bolt, or other type of fastener mechanism; the third connecting member is not shown in the figure. When it is necessary to connect the carrying plate 3 and the rotating shaft 41, the third connecting member is simply connected into the first connecting hole 8 and the second connecting hole 9. The combination of the adapter plate 44 and the third connecting member facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the carrying plate 3.

[0055] Example 8

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, based on the above embodiment 1, in this embodiment, the surface of the carrier plate 3 is provided with fixing holes 10.

[0057] For example, during implementation, the surface of the carrier plate 3 is provided with fixing holes 10. The fixing holes 10 can be circular, square, or any other shape, depending on the contact point at the bottom of the battery. Furthermore, the size and position of the fixing holes 10 can be customized according to the type and size of the battery to accommodate batteries of different sizes and shapes. In use, pins, bolts, or other types of fasteners can be used to fix the battery to the carrier plate 3 through the fixing holes 10. This effectively ensures the stability of the battery during transportation and testing, thereby reducing the risk of battery position displacement due to vibration or movement, which could affect test results or cause battery damage.
