Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of battery cell module production equipment, specifically a battery cell insulation component straightening device and a battery cell insulation component conveying and straightening equipment. Background Technology

[0002] A battery cell module is composed of multiple stacked battery cells, and insulating components need to be placed between adjacent cells. The insulating components can be spacers or adhesive strips. During the production of battery cell modules, the insulating components need to be pre-attached to the battery cells, and these insulating components are generally transported by a conveying device.

[0003] Because the insulating components are thin and lightweight, they need to be secured to the conveyor using a fixture to ensure they move forward along the conveyor's surface. However, the space used to confine the insulating components on the fixture is larger than the standard dimensions of the components, which can lead to positional deviations when the components reach the unloading position on the conveyor. Therefore, an insulating component alignment device is also needed on the conveyor line to calibrate the position of the insulating components. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application addresses the problem that existing battery cell insulation straightening devices are only compatible with straightening one type of battery cell insulation. It provides a battery cell insulation straightening device that is compatible with straightening multiple types of battery cell insulation. In addition, it also provides a battery cell insulation conveying and straightening device that includes the battery cell insulation straightening device.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a battery cell insulation alignment device, comprising a bracket, a lifting mechanism, a lifting seat, a spacing adjustment mechanism, a first alignment component, a sliding mechanism, and a second alignment component, wherein:

[0006] The spacing adjustment mechanism and the sliding mechanism are mounted on the lifting base;

[0007] Two first alignment elements are mounted on the movable part of the spacing adjustment mechanism, which is used to drive the two first alignment elements to move closer or further apart from each other along a first direction.

[0008] The second alignment member is installed on the drive end of the sliding mechanism, which is used to drive the second alignment member to move along a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0009] The lifting seat is installed on the drive end of the lifting mechanism, which is mounted on the bracket. The lifting mechanism is used to drive the lifting seat to rise and fall.

[0010] Two first alignment components, a second alignment component, and a jig on the conveying device work together to alignment the insulating components.

[0011] This application uses a lifting mechanism to lower the lifting seat so that the straightening component reaches the straightening station. Through the cooperation of two first straightening components and one second straightening component, the three sides of the insulating component are straightened. The spacing between the two first straightening components is adjusted by a spacing adjustment mechanism to straighten insulating components of various specifications, thus expanding the compatibility of the straightening device. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to replace the straightening components when straightening insulating components of different specifications, the straightening efficiency is improved and the equipment cost is reduced.

[0012] Optionally, the cell insulation straightening device further includes two pressure plates, with each first straightening component installed on the side of one pressure plate, and the spacing adjustment mechanism is used to drive the two pressure plates and the first straightening components to move closer or further apart from each other along a first direction.

[0013] When straightening insulating components, pressing the insulating components with a pressure plate can prevent them from lifting up during straightening, thus ensuring the straightening accuracy of the insulating components.

[0014] Optionally, the spacing adjustment mechanism includes a first driving member, a belt, a driving wheel and a driven wheel. The driving wheel is mounted on the driving end of the first driving member, the driven wheel is rotatably mounted on the lifting seat, and the belt is fitted onto the driving wheel and the driven wheel.

[0015] Two pressure plates are slidably mounted on the lifting seat along the first direction. The two pressure plates are fixedly connected to the two sides of the belt. The first driving component is used to drive the belt to rotate in the horizontal plane so as to drive the two pressure plates to move closer or further away from each other.

[0016] The distance between the two first alignment parts is adjusted by moving the two pressure plates closer or further apart using a belt. The structure is simple and the cost is low.

[0017] Optionally, the first guide piece has a first notch for avoiding the fixture on the conveying device.

[0018] By creating a first notch in the first alignment piece, the first notch can avoid the protrusion of the fixture on the conveying device when alignment of the insulating piece, thus preventing interference between the first alignment piece and the fixture.

[0019] Optionally, the sliding mechanism includes a second drive member, a sliding plate, a gear, a rack, and a rack holder, wherein:

[0020] The gear is installed on the drive end of the second drive member and meshes with the rack. The rack is installed on the rack seat. The second guide member and the rack seat are respectively installed on the slide plate. The slide plate is slidably installed on the lifting seat along the second direction.

[0021] The second driving element drives the gear to rotate, thereby causing the second alignment element to slide along the second direction.

[0022] The sliding mechanism adopts a gear and rack structure, which ensures precise and reliable transmission.

[0023] Optionally, the second guide piece has a second notch for avoiding the fixture on the conveying device.

[0024] By creating a second notch in the second alignment piece, the second notch can avoid the protrusion of the fixture on the conveying device when alignment of the insulating piece, thus preventing interference between the second alignment piece and the fixture.

[0025] Optionally, the cell insulation straightening device straightening mechanism further includes a third straightening element and a flipping mechanism. The two third straightening elements are respectively installed on the drive end of the flipping mechanism, and the two third straightening elements are located between the two first straightening elements.

[0026] The flipping mechanism is configured to flip two third alignment members to the vertical direction and slide horizontally along the first direction, so as to cooperate with the adjacent first alignment members to alignment the two first insulating members respectively;

[0027] Two first alignment members, a second alignment member, and a fixture on the conveying device cooperate to alignment a second insulating member. The flipping mechanism is also configured to drive two third alignment members to flip to the horizontal direction to avoid the second insulating member. The size of the first insulating member is smaller than that of the second insulating member.

[0028] By configuring a third alignment component and a flipping mechanism, when the flipping mechanism drives the third alignment component to flip to the vertical direction, the third alignment component, in conjunction with the first and second alignment components, can align two small-sized first insulating components. When the flipping mechanism drives the third alignment component to flip to the horizontal direction, the first and second alignment components align to align a large-sized second insulating component. At this time, the third alignment component will not interfere with the first and second alignment components. Since the alignment device can align two types of insulating components when the third alignment component is configured, and the spacing between the two first alignment components can be adjusted by the spacing adjustment mechanism, it can align two types of insulating components of various specifications, further expanding the compatibility of the alignment device.

[0029] Optionally, the tilting mechanism includes a third drive member, a follower plate, two sliding blocks, a track plate, two first rollers, two second rollers, and two rotating shafts;

[0030] The follower plate is installed on the drive end of the third drive member, which is used to drive the follower plate to rotate horizontally around its own center. Two first rollers are symmetrically installed on the follower plate.

[0031] Two sliding blocks are slidably mounted on the lower surface of the lifting seat along the first direction and arranged on both sides of the follower plate along the second direction; each sliding block has a groove extending along the second direction at one end near the follower plate, and two first rollers are respectively inserted into the grooves of the two sliding blocks;

[0032] Each third guide member is fixed on a rotating shaft, and each rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on a sliding block. Both rotating shafts extend along the second direction, and a second roller is eccentrically mounted at the end of each rotating shaft away from the follower plate.

[0033] Two track plates are installed on opposite sides of the lifting seat along the second direction. Each track plate has a track groove. Two second rollers are inserted into the two track grooves respectively. The movement trajectory and orientation of the third guide piece are limited by the cooperation between the track grooves and the second rollers.

[0034] The movement path of the third guide component is limited by the track plate, allowing the third guide component to switch between sliding and rotating actions, thereby enabling the third guide component to switch between the vertical and horizontal directions. The structure is simple and the switching is convenient.

[0035] Optionally, the track groove includes a horizontal segment and an arc segment, the beginning of the arc segment being connected to the beginning of the horizontal segment and extending downward in the vertical direction;

[0036] When the third driving member drives the follower plate to rotate, thereby moving the second roller from the beginning of the horizontal section to the end of the horizontal section, the third alignment member is in the vertical direction and gradually approaches the corresponding first alignment member.

[0037] As the third driving component drives the follower plate to rotate, thereby moving the second roller from the beginning of the arc segment to the end of the arc segment, the third regulating component gradually flips to the horizontal direction.

[0038] By setting the track plate's track groove to combine horizontal and arc segments, the movement path of the third drive component can be easily defined, enabling the switching of the third drive component's direction.

[0039] Secondly, this application provides a battery cell insulation component conveying and straightening device, including a conveying device and a battery cell insulation component straightening device as described in the first aspect, wherein:

[0040] The conveying device includes a conveying mechanism and several sets of fixtures. The conveying mechanism is used to convey the insulating parts to the straightening station along the second direction. The battery cell insulating parts straightening device is erected above the straightening station. Several sets of fixtures are spaced apart along the second direction on the conveying surface of the conveying mechanism. The fixtures include a first limiting member, a second limiting member and a third limiting member.

[0041] When the insulating component is a first insulating component, the first limiting component and the second limiting component cooperate to carry and restrict one first insulating component, and the second limiting component and the third limiting component cooperate to carry and restrict one first insulating component. The cell insulating component straightening device is configured to cooperate with the first limiting component, the second limiting component and the third limiting component to straighten two first insulating components at the same time.

[0042] When the insulating component is a second insulating component, the first limiting component, the second limiting component, and the third limiting component cooperate to support a second insulating component. The cell insulating component straightening device is configured to cooperate with the first limiting component, the second limiting component, and the third limiting component to straighten a second insulating component. The size of the first insulating component is smaller than that of the second insulating component.

[0043] By configuring a cell insulation component straightening device in the cell insulation component conveying and straightening equipment, and the cell insulation component straightening device being equipped with two first straightening components with adjustable spacing and a third straightening component that can be flipped, the cell insulation component conveying and straightening equipment can straighten two types of insulation components of various specifications, thus expanding the compatibility of the straightening equipment.

[0058] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, this application discloses a battery cell insulation component straightening device 1, used for straightening battery cell insulation components during the production of battery cell modules. The battery cell insulation component straightening device 1 mainly includes a bracket 10, a lifting mechanism 20, a lifting seat 31, a spacing adjustment mechanism 32, a first straightening component 33, a sliding mechanism 34, and a second straightening component 35. The bracket 10 is used to install the entire device above the unloading position of the conveying device used for conveying battery cell insulation components.

[0060] Wherein: the spacing adjustment mechanism 32 and the sliding mechanism 34 are installed on the lifting seat 31; two first alignment parts 33 are installed on the movable parts of the spacing adjustment mechanism 32, and the spacing adjustment mechanism 32 is used to drive the two first alignment parts 33 to move closer or further away from each other along the first direction 101.

[0061] The second alignment member 35 is installed on the drive end of the sliding mechanism 34. The sliding mechanism 34 is used to drive the second alignment member 35 to move along the second direction 102, which is perpendicular to the first direction 101.

[0062] The lifting seat 31 is installed on the drive end of the lifting mechanism 20, which is mounted on the bracket 10. The lifting mechanism 20 is used to drive the lifting seat 31 to rise and fall.

[0063] The two first alignment components 33 and the second alignment component 35 cooperate with the jig on the conveying device to straighten the insulating components.

[0064] This application uses a lifting mechanism 20 to lower a lifting seat 31 so that the straightening component reaches the straightening station (i.e., the position of the fixture that carries the insulating component). Through the cooperation of two first straightening components 33 and one second straightening component 35, the three sides of the insulating component are straightened. The spacing adjustment mechanism 32 adjusts the spacing between the two first straightening components 33 so as to straighten insulating components of various specifications, thus expanding the compatibility of the straightening device. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to replace the straightening components when straightening insulating components of different specifications, the straightening efficiency is improved and the equipment cost is reduced.

[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, one optional embodiment of the lifting mechanism 20 includes a motor, a pulley assembly 21, and a ball screw mechanism 22. The pulley assembly 21 is mounted on the drive end of the motor, the ball screw mechanism 22 is mounted on the output end of the pulley assembly 21, and the lifting seat 31 is mounted on the drive end of the ball screw mechanism 22. The motor drives the lifting seat 31 to rise and fall via the pulley assembly 21 and the ball screw mechanism 22. Of course, the lifting mechanism 20 can also adopt any available structure in the prior art.

[0066] like Figures 1-3 As shown, optionally, the cell insulation straightening device 1 further includes two pressure plates 36. Each first straightening element 33 is respectively installed on the side of one pressure plate 36. Specifically, the two first straightening elements 33 are respectively installed on the outer sides of the two pressure plates 36 along the first direction 101. The spacing adjustment mechanism 32 is used to drive the two pressure plates 36 and the first straightening elements 33 to move closer or further apart along the first direction 101, thereby driving the two first straightening elements 33 to move closer or further apart.

[0067] When straightening the insulating parts, as the lifting seat 31 descends, the pressure plate 36 is pressed against the insulating parts to prevent the insulating parts from tilting during straightening, thereby ensuring the straightening accuracy of the insulating parts.

[0068] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in one embodiment, optionally, the spacing adjustment mechanism 32 includes a first driving member 321, a belt 322, a driving wheel 323 and a driven wheel 324. The driving wheel 323 is mounted on the driving end of the first driving member 321, the driven wheel 324 is rotatably mounted on the lifting seat 31, and the belt 322 is fitted onto the driving wheel 323 and the driven wheel 324.

[0069] Two pressure plates 36 are slidably mounted on the lifting seat 31 along the first direction 101, specifically, the sliding can be achieved through a slide rail assembly. The two pressure plates 36 are fixedly connected to the two sides of the belt 322, and the first driving member 321 is used to drive the belt 322 to rotate in the horizontal plane, so as to drive the two pressure plates 36 to move closer or further apart.

[0070] The two pressure plates 36 are moved closer or further apart by the belt 322, so that the spacing between the two first regularizing parts 33 can be adjusted. The structure is simple and the cost is low.

[0071] Optionally, the first preform 33 has a first notch 331 for avoiding the fixture on the conveying device. The number and shape of the first notch 331 can be determined according to the structure of the fixture. In the embodiment shown in the figure, the first notch 331 is a rectangular notch.

[0072] By creating a first notch 331 on the first straightening element 33, the first notch 331 can avoid the protruding part of the fixture on the conveying device when straightening the insulating element, thus preventing interference between the first straightening element 33 and the fixture.

[0073] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the sliding mechanism 34 optionally includes a second drive member 341, a slide plate 342, a gear 343, a rack 344, and a rack seat 345.

[0074] The second drive member 341 is mounted on the lifting base 31. A gear 343 is mounted on the drive end of the second drive member 341 and meshes with a rack 344. The rack 344 is mounted on a rack seat 345. The second guide member 35 and the rack seat 345 are respectively mounted on a slide plate 342. The slide plate 342 is slidably mounted on the lifting base 31 along the second direction 102. Specifically, the slide plate 342 is slidably mounted on the bottom of the lifting base 31 via a slide rail assembly. The second drive member 341 drives the gear 343 to rotate, thereby causing the second guide member 35 to slide along the second direction 102.

[0075] The sliding mechanism 34 adopts a gear and rack structure, which ensures precise and reliable transmission.

[0076] Optionally, the second guide member 35 has a second notch 351 for avoiding the fixture on the conveying device. The number and shape of the second notch 351 can be determined according to the structure of the fixture. In the embodiment shown in the figure, the second notch 351 is a plurality of rectangular notches.

[0077] By opening a second notch 351 on the second straightening element 35, the second notch 351 can avoid the protrusion of the fixture on the conveying device when straightening the insulating element, thus preventing interference between the second straightening element 35 and the fixture.

[0078] like Figures 3-5 As shown, in one embodiment, optionally, the cell insulation straightening device 1 further includes a third straightening element 37 and a flipping mechanism 38. The two third straightening elements 37 are respectively installed on the drive end of the flipping mechanism 38, and the two third straightening elements 37 are located between the two first straightening elements 33.

[0079] The flipping mechanism 38 is configured to flip the two third alignment members 37 to the vertical direction and slide them horizontally along the first direction 101, so as to cooperate with the adjacent first alignment members 33 to alignment the two first insulating members 201.

[0080] Two first alignment members 33 and a second alignment member 35 cooperate with a fixture on the conveying device to alignment a second insulating member 202. The flipping mechanism 38 is also configured to flip two third alignment members 37 to a horizontal position to avoid the second insulating member 202, wherein the size of the first insulating member 201 is smaller than that of the second insulating member 202.

[0081] By configuring the third alignment component 37 and the flipping mechanism 38, when the flipping mechanism 38 drives the third alignment component 37 to flip to the vertical direction, the third alignment component 37 cooperates with the first alignment component 33 and the second alignment component 35 to align two small-sized first insulating components 201. When the flipping mechanism 38 drives the third alignment component 37 to flip to the horizontal direction, the first alignment component 33 and the second alignment component 35 cooperate to align a large-sized second insulating component 202. At this time, the third alignment component 37 will not interfere with the first alignment component 33 and the second alignment component 35. Since the alignment device can align two types of insulating components when the third alignment component 37 is configured, and the spacing between the two first alignment components 33 can be adjusted by the spacing adjustment mechanism 32, it can align two types of insulating components of various specifications, further expanding the compatibility of the alignment device.

[0082] like Figures 3-5 As shown, in one embodiment, optionally, the flipping mechanism 38 includes a third drive member 381, a follower plate 382, ​​two sliding blocks 383, a track plate 384, two first rollers 385, two second rollers 386, and two rotating shafts 387.

[0083] The follower plate 382 is installed on the drive end of the third drive member 381. The third drive member 381 is used to drive the follower plate 382 to rotate horizontally around its own center. Two first rollers 385 are symmetrically installed on the follower plate 382.

[0084] Two sliding blocks 383 are slidably mounted on the lower surface of the lifting seat 31 along the first direction 101 and arranged on both sides of the follower plate 382 along the second direction 102. Specifically, the two sliding blocks 383 are mounted on the lower surface of the lifting seat 31 via a slide rail assembly. Each sliding block 383 has a groove 391 extending along the second direction 102 at one end near the follower plate 382, ​​and two first rollers 385 are respectively inserted into the grooves 391 of the two sliding blocks 383.

[0085] Each third guide member 37 is fixed on a rotating shaft 387. Each rotating shaft 387 is rotatably mounted on a sliding block 383. Both rotating shafts 387 extend along the second direction 102. Each rotating shaft 387 has a second roller 386 eccentrically mounted at the end away from the follower plate 382.

[0086] Two track plates 384 are installed on opposite sides of the lifting seat 31 along the second direction 102. Each track plate 384 has a track groove 392. Two second rollers 386 are respectively inserted into the two track grooves 392. The movement trajectory and orientation of the third guide member 37 are limited by the cooperation between the track grooves 392 and the second rollers 386.

[0087] The movement path of the third guide component 37 is limited by the track plate 384, so that the third guide component 37 can switch between sliding and rotating actions, thereby realizing the switching of the third guide component 37 between the vertical and horizontal directions. The structure is simple and the switching is convenient.

[0088] Optionally, the trajectory groove 392 includes a horizontal segment and an arc segment, the beginning of the arc segment being connected to the beginning of the horizontal segment and extending downward in the vertical direction.

[0089] When the third driving member 381 drives the follower plate 382 to rotate, thereby moving the second roller 386 from the beginning of the horizontal section to the end of the horizontal section, the third alignment member 37 is in the vertical direction and gradually approaches the corresponding first alignment member 33.

[0090] As the third driving member 381 drives the follower plate 382 to rotate, thereby moving the second roller 386 from the beginning of the arc segment to the end of the arc segment, the third regularizing member 37 gradually flips to the horizontal direction.

[0091] By setting the track groove 392 of the track plate 384 to combine horizontal and arc segments, the movement path of the third drive member 381 can be conveniently defined, and the direction of the third drive member 381 can be switched.

[0092] like Figures 3-5 As shown, the specific working process of the third alignment component 37 is as follows:

[0093] 1. When aligning the two first insulating components 201, the third driving component 381 drives the follower plate 382 to rotate, thereby driving the sliding block 383, the rotating shaft 387, and the second roller 386 to move in tandem, so that the second roller 386 is in the horizontal section of the track groove 392. At this time, the second roller 386 and the rotating shaft 387 remain relatively stationary, the rotating shaft 387 does not rotate, and the third aligning component 37 is in a state perpendicular to the lifting seat 31, cooperating with the first aligning component 33 to align the first insulating components 201.

[0094] 2. When aligning a second insulating element 202, the third driving element 381 drives the follower plate 382 to rotate, causing the second roller 386 to move from the horizontal section to the arc section. The second roller 386 makes a 90° circular motion around the axis of the rotating shaft 387, causing the rotating shaft 387 to rotate 90°, so that the third aligning element 37 rotates to the horizontal plane and is higher than the pressure plate 36 or flush with the lower surface of the pressure plate 36 in the vertical direction, thereby avoiding the second insulating element 202. The two first aligning elements 33 cooperate to align the second insulating element 202.

[0095] It should be noted that during the process of the second roller 386 moving from the first end to the second end of the track groove 392, the follower plate 382 rotates 180°. When the second roller 386 is located at the first end of the track groove 392, the straight line where the two first rollers 385 on the follower plate 382 are located extends along the first direction. Figure 5 As shown, the second roller 386 is located at the end of the horizontal section.

[0096] The follower plate 382 rotates 90° counterclockwise, and the second roller 386 moves to the beginning of the horizontal section, which is also the beginning of the arc section. The follower plate 382 continues to rotate 90° counterclockwise, and the second roller 386 moves to the end of the arc section, completing the flipping action of the third guide piece 37.

[0097] Optionally, in the above embodiments, the first driving member 321, the second driving member 341 and the third driving member 381 are all motors.

[0098] As an optional implementation, this application also provides a battery cell insulation component conveying and straightening device, including a conveying device 40 and the aforementioned battery cell insulation component straightening device 1.

[0099] Wherein: the conveying device 40 includes a conveying mechanism 41 and several sets of fixtures 42. The conveying mechanism 41 is used to convey the insulating parts to the straightening station along the second direction 102. The battery cell insulating parts straightening device 1 is erected above the straightening station. Several sets of fixtures 42 are arranged at intervals along the second direction 102 on the conveying surface of the conveying mechanism 41. The fixtures 42 include a first limiting member 421, a second limiting member 422 and a third limiting member 423.

[0100] When the insulating element is the first insulating element 201, the first limiting element 421 and the second limiting element 422 cooperate to support and restrict one first insulating element 201, and the second limiting element 422 and the third limiting element 423 cooperate to support and restrict one first insulating element 201. The cell insulating element straightening device 1 is configured to cooperate with the first limiting element 421, the second limiting element 422 and the third limiting element 423 to straighten two first insulating elements 201 at the same time.

[0101] When the insulating element is the second insulating element 202, the first limiting element 421, the second limiting element 422 and the third limiting element 423 cooperate to support a second insulating element 202. The cell insulating element straightening device 1 is configured to cooperate with the first limiting element 421, the second limiting element 422 and the third limiting element 423 to straighten a second insulating element 202. The size of the first insulating element 201 is smaller than that of the second insulating element 202.

[0102] By configuring a cell insulation component straightening device 1 in the cell insulation component conveying and straightening equipment, and the cell insulation component straightening device 1 being configured with two first straightening components 33 with adjustable spacing and a third straightening component 37 that can be flipped, the cell insulation component conveying and straightening equipment can straighten two types of insulation components of various specifications, thus expanding the compatibility of the straightening equipment.

[0103] The foregoing has provided a sufficiently detailed and specific description of this application. Those skilled in the art should understand that the descriptions in the embodiments are merely exemplary, and all changes made without departing from the true spirit and scope of this application should fall within the protection scope of this application. The scope of protection claimed in this application is defined by the claims, and not by the above descriptions in the embodiments.
