Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of electrode plate lifting mechanism, and in particular to an electrode plate lifting mechanism for receiving automotive battery electrode plates. Background Technology

[0002] The two electrodes of a chemical power source consist of an active material and a "current collector" for support and conduction. They are generally sheet-like porous bodies and are called electrodes.

[0003] During battery production, electrode plates require a collection process. In early battery manufacturing, electrode plate collection relied primarily on manual labor, which was inefficient and prone to errors. Manual operation could not guarantee the consistency of the electrode plates, affecting battery performance. With the development of industrial automation technology, automated electrode plate collection machines have gradually replaced manual operation, improving production efficiency and product quality. The application of automation technology makes electrode plate collection more precise and reduces interference from human factors.

[0004] When the receiving machine is operating, the front-end conveyor line connects to the drying box, and after conveying the electrode plates through dual conveyor lines, the end connection point is guided by rollers to throw the electrode plates onto the receiving platform at the receiving end of the receiving conveyor line. The electrode plates are then stacked on the receiving platform, placed on the receiving conveyor line, and conveyed to the rear-end conveyor line for output, facilitating robot palletizing. In existing technology, before robot palletizing, electrode plate pads need to be placed on the transfer rack of the receiving support. Then, palletizing begins, with electrode plates collected by the receiving machine placed on the pads. This process is repeated until all pads are filled. A forklift is then used to remove the transfer rack, and an empty rack is placed on top, repeating the process. In existing technology, during the palletizing process, manual intervention is required to continuously place the electrode plate pads on the transfer rack, which is detrimental to the accuracy of the pad placement and is time-consuming and labor-intensive, thus reducing work efficiency. Therefore, in order to improve the accuracy of the electrode plate placement and increase work efficiency, it is considered to use a robot to transfer the electrode plate to the transfer frame by means of suction cups. In order to cooperate with the robot to pick up the electrode plate, it is urgent to develop an electrode plate lifting mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of low efficiency in the handling of electrode pads in existing technologies, and provides an electrode pad lifting mechanism for collecting automotive battery electrode plates to improve work efficiency.

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

[0007] A lifting mechanism for a battery electrode plate receiving plate, comprising:

[0008] A rack, the top of which has a placement opening;

[0009] The lifting drive is detachably connected to the frame.

[0010] The lifting frame is located inside the frame and is slidably connected to the frame vertically under the drive of the lifting drive. The placement port is vertically aligned with the lifting frame.

[0011] A photoelectric sensor is detachably mounted on the side wall of the placement port and electrically connected to the lifting drive. The lifting drive drives the lifting frame upwards. During this process, when the photoelectric sensor detects the topmost electrode pad within the lifting frame, it sends a signal to the control system. The control system then stops the lifting drive, allowing the robot to pick up the electrode pad and transfer it to a transfer rack for stacking, thus saving time and effort in handling the electrode pads. After the topmost electrode pad is removed, the photoelectric sensor immediately sends a signal to the control system, which then restarts the lifting drive, driving the lifting frame upwards. This process repeats, reducing the robot's waiting time and ultimately improving work efficiency.

[0012] Preferably, the inner sidewall of the frame is provided with two or more slide rails, which are detachably connected to the frame. The slide rails are parallel to the height direction of the frame. Each slide rail has a slider, which is detachably connected to the sidewall of the lifting frame. Driven by a lifting driver, the lifting frame slides up and down within the frame via the slider matching the corresponding slide rail. This matching of the slider with the corresponding slide rail improves the stability of the lifting frame's movement and enhances the strength of the connection structure between the lifting frame and the frame.

[0013] Preferably, the lifting driver is located at the bottom of the frame and the bottom of the lifting frame, with the top of the lifting frame forming a placement plane. Several electrode plate pads are stacked on this placement plane, and these electrode plate pads are confined within the frame. Placing the lifting driver at the bottom of the frame improves safety during use; confining the electrode plate pads within the frame facilitates effective picking up by the robot.

[0014] Preferably, the lifting drive is a geared motor. A drive shaft is located on the bottom side of the frame, adjacent to the geared motor. Driven by the geared motor, the drive shaft is rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the frame at both ends. A first chain and two second chains are mounted on the drive shaft. The geared motor and drive shaft are connected via the first chain. A driven shaft, parallel to and vertically aligned with the drive shaft, is located at the edge of the placement opening, with both ends rotatably connected to the frame. The drive shaft is connected to the driven shaft via the two second chains, with both ends fixedly connected to the top and bottom side walls of the lifting frame. The geared motor drives the drive shaft to rotate via the first chain, which in turn drives the driven shaft to rotate synchronously via the second chains. During this process, the lifting frame achieves synchronous lifting and lowering under the drive of the second chains, resulting in a simple and easily controllable structure.

[0015] Preferably, the bottom of the frame is provided with two bearing seats, both of which are detachably connected to the frame and located on the same side of the frame. Both ends of the drive shaft are respectively rotatably connected to the frame by engaging with the two bearing seats. The bearing seats contain bearings, which helps reduce friction during drive shaft rotation and extends service life.

[0016] Preferably, the top of the frame is provided with two bearing seats, both of which are detachably connected to the frame and located on the same side of the frame. The bearing seats are located at the edge of the placement opening, and both ends of the driven shaft are respectively rotatably connected to the frame by engaging with the two bearing seats. The bearing seats contain bearings, which helps to reduce the friction of the driven shaft rotation and extend its service life.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] 1. When used in conjunction with a robot, this mechanism saves time and effort in transporting electrode plates and pads, thus improving work efficiency;

[0019] 2. By controlling the start and stop of the lifting drive through photoelectric sensors, the robot's waiting time is reduced, which helps to improve work efficiency;

[0020] 3. The lifting frame is matched with the corresponding slide rail by a slider, which can improve the stability of the lifting frame and enhance the strength of the connection structure between the lifting frame and the machine frame. Attached Figure Description

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the embodiments described above, a lifting mechanism for a battery plate receiving pad includes a frame 1 with a placement opening 2 at the top; a lifting driver 3 detachably connected to the frame 1; a lifting frame 4 located inside the frame 1 and slidably connected to the frame 1 under the drive of the lifting driver 3, with the placement opening 2 and the lifting frame 4 corresponding vertically; and a photoelectric sensor 5 detachably mounted on the side wall of the placement opening 2 and electrically connected to the lifting driver 3.

[0031] The inner side wall of the frame 1 is provided with two or more slide rails 6. The slide rails 6 are detachably connected to the frame 1. The slide rails 6 and the frame 1 are parallel in height direction. The slide rails 6 are provided with sliders 7. The sliders 7 are detachably connected to the side wall of the lifting frame 4. The lifting frame 4 is connected to the frame 1 by sliding up and down through the sliders 7 and matching the corresponding slide rails 6 under the drive of the lifting driver 3.

[0032] The lifting drive 3 is located at the bottom of the frame 1 and at the bottom of the lifting frame 4. The top of the lifting frame 4 forms a placement plane, on which several electrode pads 8 are stacked. The several electrode pads 8 are confined within the frame 1.

[0033] The lifting drive 3 is a geared motor. The bottom side of the frame 1 is provided with a drive shaft 9, which is located on the side of the geared motor. Driven by the geared motor, the drive shaft 9 is rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the frame 1 through its two ends. The drive shaft 9 is fitted with a first chain 10 and two second chains 11. The geared motor and the drive shaft 9 are connected by the first chain 10. The top of the frame 1 is provided with a driven shaft 12 that is parallel to the drive shaft 9 and corresponds vertically. The driven shaft 12 is located at the edge of the placement opening 2 and its two ends are rotatably connected to the frame 1. The drive shaft 9 is connected to the driven shaft 12 through the two second chains 11. The two ends of the second chains 11 are fixedly connected to the top and bottom side walls of the lifting frame 4, respectively.

[0034] The bottom of the frame 1 is provided with two bearing seats 13. Both bearing seats 13 are detachably connected to the frame 1 and are located on the same side of the frame 1.

[0036] The lifting drive 3 drives the lifting frame 4 to rise. During this process, when the photoelectric sensor 5 detects the topmost electrode pad 8 inside the lifting frame 4, it sends a signal to the control system, which then controls the lifting drive 3 to stop working. At this time, the robot uses a suction cup to pick up the electrode pad 8 and transfers it to the transfer frame for stacking, achieving the purpose of saving time and effort in handling the electrode pad 8. After the topmost electrode pad 8 of the lifting frame 4 is removed, the photoelectric sensor 5 immediately continues to send a signal to the control system, which then controls the lifting drive 3 to work again, driving the lifting frame 4 to rise. The above process is repeated, reducing the robot's waiting time and improving work efficiency.

[0037] The lifting drive 3 can be a geared motor; the geared motor drives the drive shaft 9 to rotate through chain 10, and the drive shaft 9 drives the driven shaft 12 to rotate synchronously through chain 2 11. In the above process, the lifting frame 4 achieves synchronous lifting and lowering under the drive of chain 2 11.
