Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive battery pack technology, and in particular to an automatic battery pack conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] Electric vehicle batteries, as a type of chemical battery, are mainly divided into two categories: storage batteries and fuel cells. Storage batteries are widely used in pure electric vehicles or hybrid electric vehicles, and mainly include lead-acid batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, sodium-sulfur batteries, secondary lithium batteries, and air batteries. Fuel cells, on the other hand, are specifically used in fuel cell electric vehicles and cover a variety of types, including alkaline fuel cells, phosphoric acid fuel cells, molten carbonate fuel cells, solid oxide fuel cells, proton exchange membrane fuel cells, and direct methanol fuel cells.

[0003] In the battery pack production process, the assembled battery packs need to be transferred by conveying equipment for subsequent storage or packaging processes. Currently, electric conveyors are commonly used as standard conveying equipment in the industry.

[0004] However, in actual use, once the battery packs are transported to the designated location, whether by manual handling or robotic arm operation, they can only be picked up one by one and then transferred to the storage rack. This single-piece operation mode not only reduces the transfer efficiency of the battery packs, but also restricts the overall transmission efficiency of the conveying equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem in the prior art that the conveying equipment is not convenient for simultaneously conveying and transferring multiple battery packs, thereby reducing the transmission efficiency of the conveying equipment, and to propose an automatic battery pack conveying equipment.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An automated battery pack conveying device includes a frame, a first lifting machine fixedly mounted on the frame, wherein the first lifting machine is provided with an adjustment part for guiding the conveying of battery packs when the first lifting machine is in operation; a slide rail is disposed on one side of the first lifting machine, wherein a vehicle body is slidably connected to the slide rail for moving a storage rack containing battery packs; and a second lifting machine is disposed on the side of the slide rail away from the first lifting machine, the second lifting machine for supporting and guiding the adjustment part.

[0008] To adjust the lateral and longitudinal position of the battery pack, preferably, the adjustment unit includes a positioning frame fixedly mounted on a first lifting machine, wherein a conveyor is mounted on the positioning frame via a drive component, and when the drive component is working, the conveyor tends to move along the center of the positioning frame; and a lifting component fixedly mounted on the positioning frame, with the lifting ends of the lifting component located on both sides of the conveyor.

[0009] To further align the battery pack, a guide member is also included, which is fixedly mounted on the positioning frame. The guide end of the guide member is located at the upper end of the conveyor, and the guide member is used to align the battery pack on the conveyor.

[0010] To drive the conveyor to move laterally, the driving component further includes a motor fixedly mounted on the positioning frame, with a gear fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, and a rack fixedly connected to the conveyor meshing on the gear. When the motor drives the gear to rotate, the conveyor moves laterally along the center line of the positioning frame.

[0011] To further support and limit the movement of the conveyor, guide wheels are fixedly installed on both sides of the conveyor, and a first guide frame is slidably connected to the bottom of one of the guide wheels.

[0012] In order to guide and limit the movement of the conveyor, preferably, a second guide frame is fixedly installed on the second elevator, and the second guide frame is used in conjunction with the guide wheel on the other side of the conveyor.

[0013] To lift the storage rack, preferably, both sides of the slide rail are equipped with electric lifting machines for lifting the storage rack.

[0014] To further secure the storage rack, an electric push rod is fixedly installed on the electric lifting machine to press against the storage rack.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an automatic battery pack conveying device, which has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. This automatic battery pack conveying equipment, through the setting of the adjustment unit, after the first elevator lifts the positioning frame to the specified height, the lifting component lifts the battery pack on the conveyor, separating it from the conveyor. Then, under the action of the driving component, the conveyor is moved and inserted into the storage rack. During this process, the lifting component drives the battery pack to descend, placing it on top of the conveyor. Through the cooperation of the conveyor and the guide component, the battery pack can be evenly transferred to the storage rack, thereby improving the conveying efficiency of the battery pack.

[0017] 2. The automatic battery pack conveying equipment, through the setting of the second guide frame, guides the guide wheels when the conveyor moves laterally, which facilitates the connection between the conveyor and the second elevator, thereby ensuring the stability of the vertical lifting of the conveyor;

[0018] 3. The automatic battery pack conveying equipment is equipped with an electric lifting machine. When the vehicle body moves the storage rack to the designated position, the electric lifting machine starts and its end face lifts the storage rack upward, which can ensure the stability of the storage rack during use. At the same time, the electric push rod is used to fix the storage rack, which can ensure that the storage rack will not shift during use.

[0019] All parts of this device not described herein are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies. This utility model, through the setting of a first lifting machine, vertically lifts the adjusting part and then uses the adjusting part to guide and transport the battery pack, arranging it sequentially on the storage rack. This not only significantly improves the transport efficiency of multiple battery panels but also ensures the quality stability of the transport process.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0032] Example:

[0033] Reference Figures 1-9 An automatic battery pack conveying device includes a frame 1 and a first lifting machine 2 fixedly mounted on the frame 1. The first lifting machine 2 consists of a motor, a sprocket, and a chain. The motor is a Huichuan MS1H2-20C30CB servo motor. The first lifting machine 2 is equipped with an adjustment part, which is used to guide the conveying of battery packs when the first lifting machine 2 is working. A slide rail 4 is set on one side of the first lifting machine 2, and a car body 5 is slidably connected to the slide rail 4. The car body 5 is used to move the storage rack containing the battery packs. A second lifting machine 6 is set on the side of the slide rail 4 away from the first lifting machine 2. The second lifting machine 6 is used to support and guide the adjustment part, and when the first lifting machine 2 lifts the battery packs, the second lifting machine 6 rises and falls synchronously with the first lifting machine 2.

[0034] Specifically, by setting up the first lifting machine 2, after the first lifting machine 2 vertically lifts the adjustment part, the adjustment part guides and transports the battery pack, so that it is arranged in sequence on the storage rack. This not only significantly improves the transport efficiency of multiple battery panels, but also ensures the quality stability of the transport process. In addition, the vehicle body 5 drives the storage rack to move on the slide rail 4, which facilitates the transfer of the storage rack by the staff and further improves the overall operation efficiency of subsequent battery pack transport.

[0035] The adjustment unit includes a positioning frame 3 fixedly installed on the first elevator 2. A conveyor 32 is mounted on the positioning frame 3 via a drive component 31. When the drive component 31 is working, the conveyor 32 tends to move along the center of the positioning frame 3. The conveyor 32 has a multi-segment conveying structure. When the conveyor 32 moves into the storage rack, the first elevator 2 will drive the positioning frame 3 to move upward a certain distance again, so that the recessed part of the conveyor 32 is aligned with the crossbeam of the storage rack. A lifting component 33 is fixedly installed on the positioning frame 3. The lifting end of the lifting component 33 is located on both sides of the conveyor 32. The lifting component 33 consists of a motor, a lead screw, a threaded sleeve, and a bearing plate. When the motor drives the lead screw to rotate, the threaded sleeve drives the bearing plate to move upward, lifting the battery pack on the conveyor 32 and separating it from the conveyor 32.

[0036] It also includes a guide member 34 fixedly installed on the positioning frame 3. The guide end of the guide member 34 is located at the upper end of the conveyor 32. The guide member 34 is used to guide the battery pack on the conveyor 32. The guide member 34 consists of a motor, a sprocket, a chain and a guide rod. When the motor controls the sprocket to rotate, the angle of the guide rod is adjusted through the transmission of the chain so that the guide rod abuts against the battery pack, thereby guiding the battery pack.

[0037] The drive unit 31 includes a motor fixedly mounted on the positioning frame 3. A gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. A rack fixedly connected to the conveyor 32 is meshed on the gear. When the motor drives the gear to rotate, the conveyor 32 moves laterally along the center line of the positioning frame 3, so that the conveyor 32 moves into the storage rack to realize the guiding and conveying of the battery pack.

[0038] Guide wheels are fixedly installed on both sides of the conveyor 32, and a first guide frame is slidably connected to the bottom of one of the guide wheels to support and limit the conveyor 32 during the return stroke.

[0039] Specifically, through the adjustment mechanism, after the first elevator 2 lifts the positioning frame 3 to a specified height, the lifting member 33 lifts the battery pack on the conveyor 32, separating it from the conveyor 32. Then, under the action of the drive member 31, the conveyor 32 is moved and inserted into the storage rack. During this process, the lifting member 33 drives the battery pack to descend, placing it on top of the conveyor 32. Through the cooperation of the conveyor 32 and the guide member 34, the battery pack can be evenly transferred to the storage rack, thereby improving the conveying efficiency of the battery pack.

[0040] A second guide frame is fixedly installed on the second elevator 6. The second guide frame is used in conjunction with the guide wheel on the other side of the conveyor 32. The second guide frame is provided with an inclined guide surface.

[0041] Specifically, by setting up the second guide frame, the conveyor 32 is guided by the guide frame to guide the guide wheel when moving laterally, which facilitates the connection between the conveyor 32 and the second elevator 6, thereby ensuring the stability of the vertical lifting of the conveyor 32.

[0042] Both sides of the slide rail 4 are equipped with electric lifting machines 7 for lifting the storage rack, and electric push rods for pressing the storage rack against the electric lifting machine 7 are fixedly installed on the electric lifting machine 7.

[0043] Specifically, with the electric lifting machine 7, when the vehicle body 5 moves the storage rack to the designated position, the electric lifting machine 7 is activated, and its end face lifts the storage rack upward, which can ensure the stability of the storage rack. At the same time, the electric push rod is used to fix the storage rack, which can ensure that the storage rack will not be displaced during use.

[0044] Working principle: Before transporting the battery pack, the operator places the storage rack on the vehicle body 5 and moves the vehicle body 5 to align it horizontally with the first lifter 2 and the second lifter 6. Then, the electric lifting machine 7 is started. When the electric lifting machine 7 moves upward, it can lift the storage rack upward and detach it from the vehicle body 5. By adjusting the height of the storage rack, the vehicle body 5 can prevent the storage rack from sliding. At the same time, after the storage rack is moved to the designated height, the telescopic end of the electric push rod presses against the storage rack to fix it, thereby ensuring its stability during use.

[0045] When conveying battery packs, the motor on the conveyor 32 is started using an external control switch, and the robotic arm places the battery packs one by one onto the conveyor 32. When the specified number of battery packs are loaded, the operator starts the first elevator 2 and the second elevator 6. When the motor on the first elevator 2 is working, it drives the sprocket to rotate. When the sprocket rotates, it drives the chain to drive. During the transmission process, the chain drives the positioning frame 3 to move vertically along the inner wall of the frame 1, thereby raising the height of the conveyor 32.

[0046] After the conveyor 32 moves upward to the designated position, the operator starts the motor on the lifting component 33. When the motor drives the lead screw to rotate, the threaded sleeve drives the bearing plate to move upward. The bearing plate supports the solar panel, enabling the separation of the solar panel from the conveyor 32. After separation, the operator starts the motor on the drive component 31. When the motor drives the gear to rotate, the gear drives the rack and conveyor 32 to move along the center line of the positioning frame 3, causing the conveyor 32 to insert into the inner cavity of the storage rack. As the conveyor 32 continues to move, the guide wheel on one side of the conveyor 32 and the second lifting machine... The second guide frame on 6 provides support for the conveyor 32. After the lateral position of the conveyor 32 is adjusted, the first elevator 2 will drive the positioning frame 3 to move upward a certain distance, causing the recessed area on the surface of the conveyor 32 to align with the crossbeam of the storage rack. After the two are aligned, the conveying surface of the conveyor 32 and the top of the crossbeam are at the same level. Then, the operator starts the lifting component 33 and uses the lifting component 33 to move the battery pack downward so that it contacts the conveyor 32. Then, with the cooperation of the conveyor 32 and the guide component 34, the battery pack is conveyed and guided at the same time.

[0047] After the battery pack is transported to the storage rack, the first elevator 2 drives the positioning frame 3 to move downward. When the positioning frame 3 moves downward, it drives the conveyor 32 to move upward. When the conveyor 32 is no longer in contact with the battery pack, the drive unit 31 resets the conveyor 32, thus completing the transport of the battery pack.

[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
