Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of battery tray positioning tools, specifically relating to a lithium battery tray positioning mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] When transporting lithium battery pallets on a logistics line, traditional positioning methods mostly rely on manual operation. Workers need to move the lithium battery pallets transported on the logistics line one by one to the designated location to complete the positioning operation. However, in practical applications, on the one hand, the positioning operation is relatively cumbersome, requiring workers to spend a lot of physical strength and time, resulting in low work efficiency and difficulty in meeting the needs of large-scale production; on the other hand, the accuracy of manual operation is difficult to guarantee, and deviations are prone to occur, which in turn affect the smooth progress of subsequent production processes.
[0003] With the development of automation technology, some lithium battery pallet positioning mechanisms have begun to use complex components such as cylinders to achieve positioning operations. The extension or retraction of the cylinder's telescopic rod drives the positioning component to extend or retract, thereby achieving the purpose of positioning the lithium battery pallet. However, in practical applications, the cylinder's telescopic rod moves straight in and out. When it is not fully retracted or extended, it cannot play any role in the pallet. For example, when the cylinder's telescopic rod is not fully retracted, the lithium battery pallet cannot continue to be transported forward with the logistics line, which greatly affects the overall operating efficiency of the logistics line. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a lithium battery tray positioning mechanism to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a lithium battery tray positioning mechanism, comprising a left-right symmetrical support frame, multiple rollers rotatably arranged between the support frames, a support plate connected between the bottoms of the support frames, fixed cylinders on both the left and right sides of the top of the support plate, a swing rod rotatably arranged inside the fixed cylinder, a positioning roller arranged on the inner side of the top of the swing rod, an adjusting plate rotatably connected to the middle of the support plate via a servo motor, and sliding rods symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the bottom of the support plate, with sliders slidably arranged on the sliding rods.
[0006] Preferably, the two swing arms on the same vertical side are arranged symmetrically.
[0007] Preferably, the front and rear sides of the adjusting plate are rotatably connected to the bottom of the adjacent slider with angle plates.
[0008] Preferably, the swing arm passes downward through the support plate and is connected to a first hinge plate, and each of the first hinge plates is rotatably connected to a second hinge plate between itself and the adjacent slider.
[0009] Preferably, the positioning roller is made of sponge material.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] This invention achieves automatic synchronous swinging of the positioning roller by driving a series of components such as the adjustment plate, slider, and hinge plate with a servo motor. This eliminates the need for manual pallet handling for positioning, reducing the physical exertion and operation time of workers and significantly improving the positioning efficiency of lithium battery pallets on the logistics line.
[0012] Compared with the traditional cylinder positioning method, this utility model does not have the problem of pallet conveying interruption caused by the straight in and out movement of the cylinder telescopic rod during the positioning process. The pallet can quickly complete the positioning operation under the action of the positioning roller, thereby enabling the logistics line to operate more smoothly and efficiently.
[0013] The positioning roller in this invention is made of sponge material, which plays a good role in cushioning and protecting the pallet during the positioning process, reducing the impact and wear that may be caused by hard contact, reducing the risk of damage to the pallet during the positioning process, and extending the service life of the pallet.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.
[0021] Example 1
[0022] like Figures 1 to 5 The lithium battery tray positioning mechanism shown includes symmetrical support frames, with multiple rollers 2 rotatably mounted between the support frames. A support plate 3 is connected between the bottom of the support frames. Fixed cylinders 4 are provided on the left and right sides of the top of the support plate 3. A swing rod 5 is rotatably mounted inside the fixed cylinder 4. A positioning roller 6 is provided on the inner side of the top of the swing rod 5. An adjusting plate 8 is rotatably connected to the middle of the support plate 3 via a servo motor 7. Sliding rods 9 are symmetrically mounted on the bottom of the support plate 3, and sliders 10 slide on the sliding rods 9. The two swing rods 5 on the same vertical side are symmetrically arranged. Angle plates 11 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the adjacent sliders 10 on both the front and rear sides of the adjusting plate 8. The swing rod 5 passes downward through the support plate 3 and is connected to a first hinge plate 12. The first hinge plate 12 is rotatably connected to a second hinge plate 13 between each adjacent slider 10. The positioning roller 6 is made of sponge material.
[0023] This invention achieves automatic synchronous swinging of the positioning roller 6 by driving a series of components, including the adjusting plate 8, slider 10, and hinge plate, through the linkage of the servo motor 7. This eliminates the need for manual pallet handling for positioning, reducing physical exertion and operation time for workers and significantly improving the positioning efficiency of lithium battery pallets on the logistics line. Compared to traditional cylinder positioning methods, this invention avoids the pallet transport interruption caused by the straight-in and straight-out movement of the cylinder extension rod. The pallet can quickly complete the positioning operation under the action of the positioning roller 6, enabling the logistics line to operate more smoothly and efficiently. The positioning roller 6 in this invention is made of sponge material, which provides excellent cushioning and protection for the pallet during positioning, reducing the impact and wear that may occur due to hard contact, lowering the risk of pallet damage during positioning, and extending the pallet's service life.
[0024] Example 2
[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 The lithium battery tray positioning mechanism shown includes symmetrically arranged support frames on the left and right sides. The support frames are used to install the entire mechanism, ensure its stability, and ensure that the positioning mechanism applies force evenly to the tray during the positioning process. Multiple rollers 2 are rotatably arranged between the support frames. The rollers 2 are used to drive the tray to move smoothly on the mechanism and cooperate with the positioning.
[0026] A support plate 3 is connected to the bottom of the support frame. The length of the support plate 3 is greater than that of the support frame. The top left and right sides of the support plate 3 are equipped with fixed cylinders 4. The fixed cylinders 4 are located on the support plate 3 and protrude from the support frame. A swing rod 5 is rotatably installed inside the fixed cylinder 4. A positioning roller 6 is installed on the inner side of the top of the swing rod 5. The two swing rods 5 on the same vertical side are symmetrically arranged. This symmetrical layout can ensure the synchronicity and stability of the positioning roller 6 during the movement, ensuring that the pallet always remains balanced during the positioning process and will not tilt or shake. Understandably, the rotation of the swing rod 5 will drive the positioning roller 6 inside it to swing. During the swing, it will contact the pallet and finally achieve accurate positioning of the pallet. The positioning roller 6 is made of sponge material. Sponge has good elasticity and cushioning performance. When it comes into contact with the pallet, it can effectively avoid the impact force generated by hard contact, thereby ensuring that the pallet is not damaged.
[0027] To achieve synchronous and automatic oscillation of the positioning roller 6, an adjustment plate 8 is rotatably connected to the middle of the support plate 3 via a servo motor 7. The adjustment plate 8 is square in shape and initially has a vertical rhombus shape. At the same time, slide rods 9 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the bottom of the support plate 3, and sliders 10 slide on the slide rods 9. Angle plates 11 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the adjacent sliders 10 on the front and rear sides of the adjustment plate 8, i.e., the two opposite corners. The operation of the servo motor 7 drives the adjustment plate 8 to rotate, and then drives the sliders 10 to move synchronously in and out on the slide rods 9 through the angle plates 11.
[0028] Furthermore, the swing arm 5 passes downward through the support plate 3 and is connected to the first hinge plate 12. The first hinge plate 12 is rotatably connected to the adjacent slider 10 by a second hinge plate 13. When the servo motor 7 operates and drives the adjustment plate 8 to rotate, and then drives the slider 10 to move synchronously in and out on the slide rod 9 through the angle plate 11, the first hinge plate 12 can drive the second hinge plate 13 to rotate. The rotation of the second hinge plate 13 drives the positioning roller 6 to swing synchronously through the swing arm 5. Swinging inward can achieve positioning of the tray, and after positioning, it can swing outward.
[0029] Specifically, when the pallet needs to be positioned, the servo motor 7 is activated. The pallet moves continuously between the positioning rollers 6 via the rollers 2. The servo motor 7 drives the adjusting plate 8 to rotate. The rotation of the adjusting plate 8 drives the sliders 10 to move inward through the angle plate 11. During the inward movement of the sliders 10, the first hinge plate 12 is rotated through the second hinge plate 13. The rotation of the first hinge plate 12 then drives the swing arm 5 to rotate, ultimately causing the positioning rollers 6 at the end of the swing arm 5 to move inward simultaneously. In this way, the four positioning rollers 6 on both sides can move inward simultaneously, achieving precise positioning of the pallet. After positioning, the servo motor 7 is driven to operate in reverse, driving all subsequent components to operate in reverse, that is, causing the positioning rollers 6 to open synchronously, no longer contacting the positioned pallet.
