Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lithium battery technology, specifically to a battery casing basket-turning device. Background Technology

[0002] After the lithium battery casing is formed, it needs to be transferred from the finished product basket (which is covered in oil and is considered a vulnerable part) in the previous process to the cleaning basket (which has a slightly different structure) in the next process. Then, the casing and the cleaning basket are placed together into a cleaning machine for cleaning. However, in the existing technology, this part of the work is done manually, which is inefficient and costly. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to solve the technical problems of low efficiency and high cost caused by low automation in the battery casing basket turning process in the prior art, this application proposes a battery casing basket turning device, which solves the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0005] This utility model provides a battery casing turning basket device, characterized in that it includes: a rotating device, the rotating device including a liftable rotating shaft, the rotating shaft being vertically arranged, and a horizontally arranged rotating arm fixed on the rotating shaft; two sets of translation devices, the two sets of translation devices being symmetrically arranged on the side of the rotating shaft, one set of translation devices being slidably mounted with a finished product basket for holding battery casings, and the other set of translation devices being slidably mounted with a cleaning basket for holding battery casings; a clamping device, the clamping device being arranged at the end of the rotating arm and above the translation device, including a gripper, the gripper first removing the battery casing from the finished product basket, and then moving to the cleaning basket with the help of the rotating device to place the battery casing into it; and an ejection device, the ejection device being arranged below the clamping device, including a liftable suction cup, the suction cup passing through the translation device and the finished product basket to lift the battery casing in the finished product basket so that the gripper can grasp it.

[0006] Furthermore, the translation device includes a frame with a hollow center, a timing belt is disposed on the frame, and a connecting block is fixed on the timing belt. The connecting block can be detachably connected to the finished product basket or the washing basket respectively.

[0007] Furthermore, each of the translation devices is equipped with two sets of synchronous belts, and each set of synchronous belts has synchronous pulleys at both ends. The shafts of the two synchronous pulleys used for driving are connected to transmission links, and the two transmission links are driven by the same set of reducers, which are driven by servo motors.

[0008] Furthermore, a coupling is provided at the connection between the two transmission connecting rods and the reducer.

[0009] Furthermore, the clamping device includes a plurality of clamps arranged in two parallel rows in the horizontal direction. As the rotating shaft descends, the two rows of clamps simultaneously clamp the odd-numbered or even-numbered rows of battery casings in the finished product basket, and as the rotating device moves, place the clamped battery casings into the corresponding odd-numbered or even-numbered empty positions in the cleaning basket.

[0010] Furthermore, the gripper has two chucks, and the opening direction of the two chucks is perpendicular to the extension direction of the single row of grippers arranged in the horizontal direction.

[0011] Furthermore, the ejection device includes a plurality of suction cups arranged in two parallel rows in the horizontal direction, and the positions of the suction cups are opposite to the positions of the two rows of grippers on the clamping device.

[0012] Furthermore, the ejection device includes a vertically arranged ejection cylinder, a connecting plate is fixed on the piston rod of the ejection cylinder, a plurality of fixing rods are arranged on the connecting plate, and the suction cup is arranged at the end of the fixing rods away from the ejection cylinder.

[0013] Furthermore, the clamping device comprises two sets, which are respectively disposed at both ends of the rotating arm.

[0014] Based on the above technical solution, the technical effects that this utility model can achieve are as follows:

[0015] This utility model discloses a battery casing turning basket device, including a rotating device. A horizontally configured rotating arm is fixed on the rotating shaft of the rotating device, and a clamping device is configured at the end of the rotating arm. While the rotating arm rotates, the position of the clamping device can be switched, allowing it to switch between a position above the finished product basket and a position above the cleaning basket. Simultaneously, the rotating shaft of the rotating device is height-adjustable, which allows it to work with the grippers on the clamping device to raise and lower. When the grippers lower, they grasp the battery casings. After grasping the battery casings, the grippers rise to detach the battery casings from the finished product basket, and then the rotating shaft can rotate to grasp the battery casings again. The grippers then move to the top of the cleaning basket, descend and open, allowing the battery casings to fall into the corresponding empty spaces within the basket. It should be noted that because the gaps between the battery casings in the finished product basket are very small, the gaps cannot accommodate the grippers. Therefore, an ejector device is required. The ejector device's liftable suction cup passes through the translation device and the finished product basket, lifting the battery casings from the basket. This creates sufficient space between the lifted battery casings and adjacent casings for the grippers to pass through, allowing them to grip the battery casings without interference. This automates the battery casing transfer process, reducing costs and improving efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0025] 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. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present utility model or its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0026] like Figure 1-3As shown, this utility model provides a battery casing basket-turning device, including a rotating device 1, a clamping device 3, an ejecting device 4, and two sets of translation devices 2. The rotating device 1 includes a liftable rotating shaft 11, which is vertically arranged, and a horizontally arranged rotating arm 12 is fixed on the rotating shaft 11. The two sets of translation devices 2 are symmetrically arranged on the side of the rotating shaft 11. One set of translation devices 2 is slidably mounted on a finished basket a for holding battery casings, and the other set of translation devices 2 is slidably mounted on a... The cleaning basket b, which holds the battery casings, is located at the end of the rotating arm 12 and above the translation device 2. It includes a gripper 31. The gripper 31 first removes the battery casings from the finished product basket a, and then moves them to the cleaning basket b with the help of the rotating device 1 to place the battery casings in. The ejection device 4 is located below the gripper 3 and includes a liftable suction cup 41. The suction cup 41 passes through the translation device 2 and the finished product basket a and lifts the battery casings in the finished product basket a so that the gripper 31 can grasp them.

[0027] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the translation device 2 includes a frame 21 with a hollow center. The hollow center allows the suction cup 41 to pass through the translation device 2. A timing belt 22 is disposed on the frame 21, and a connecting block 23 is fixed on the timing belt 22. The connecting block 23 can be detachably connected to the finished product basket a or the cleaning basket b respectively. The timing belt 22 controls the translation of the finished product basket a and the cleaning basket b relative to the rotating shaft 11, so that the finished product basket a and the cleaning basket b can always be arranged symmetrically. Because the position of the gripper 31 relative to the frame 21 of the translation device 2 remains unchanged after the rotating shaft 11 rotates, in order for the gripper 31 to complete multiple basket-turning actions of the battery casing, instead of a single one, the finished product basket a and the cleaning basket b must move relative to the frame 21. In this way, the basket-turning action of the battery casing can be carried out continuously.

[0028] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, each translation device 2 is equipped with two sets of synchronous belts 22, and each set of synchronous belts 22 is equipped with synchronous pulleys 24 at both ends. The shafts of the two synchronous pulleys 24 used for driving are connected to transmission links 25. The two transmission links 25 are driven by the same set of reducers 26, which are driven by servo motors 27, thereby ensuring the accuracy of each movement position.

[0029] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, a coupling 28 is provided at the connection between the two transmission connecting rods 25 and the reducer 26, so that the asynchrony of the two synchronous pulleys 24 during the starting stage can be slightly adjusted.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the clamping device 3 includes multiple grippers 31 arranged in two parallel rows in the horizontal direction. As the rotating shaft 11 descends, the two rows of grippers 31 simultaneously grip the odd-numbered or even-numbered rows of battery casings in the finished product basket a. With the movement of the rotating device 1, the gripped battery casings are placed into the corresponding odd-numbered or even-numbered empty spaces in the cleaning basket b. This design allows for the gripping of battery casings with an interval of one row, thus providing space for the grippers 31 to pass between the lifted battery casings. Furthermore, the two-row gripper design is the most practical. If three rows of grippers 31 were used, it would require gripping rows 1, 4, and 7 of battery casings at a time, which would be overly complex and have limited application scenarios.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the gripper 31 has two grippers, and the opening direction of the two grippers is perpendicular to the extension direction of the single row of grippers 31 arranged in the horizontal direction, so that the gripper 31 has sufficient operating space.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the ejection device 4 includes a plurality of suction cups 41, which are arranged in two parallel rows in the horizontal direction and are positioned opposite to the two rows of grippers 31 on the clamping device 3.

[0033] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the ejection device 4 includes a vertically arranged ejection cylinder 42. A connecting plate 43 is fixed on the piston rod of the ejection cylinder 42. Multiple fixing rods 44 are arranged on the connecting plate 43. A suction cup 41 is arranged at the end of the fixing rod 44 away from the ejection cylinder 42.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the clamping device 3 includes two sets, which are respectively disposed at both ends of the rotating arm 12, thereby improving efficiency.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a top-out device 4 is also provided below the cleaning basket b to improve the applicability of the equipment.

[0036] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described above are only for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Obvious variations or modifications derived from the spirit of the present invention are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
