Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary technology for loading energy storage battery packs into containers, specifically to a loading platform for energy storage battery packs into containers. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, manual operation of energy storage battery packs is time-consuming, inefficient, and requires a large workforce. Multiple people are needed to assist in observing the packs as they are placed into the container, and the forklift must be adjusted little by little to meet the requirements before placement. Manual observation has a large margin of error, and there is a high risk of the battery packs being impacted. Using a forklift to place the battery packs into the container cannot be done in one go; the last bit requires the forklift forks to push against the liquid cooling plate of the battery pack as it is stacked forward, which risks damaging the liquid cooling plate. Friction between the bottom of the liquid cooling plate and the container frame also poses a risk of damaging the surface of the liquid cooling plate. Additionally, there is a risk that the battery packs may fall off the forklift. Utility Model Content

[0027] Please refer to the appendix carefully. Figure 1-4A battery pack loading platform includes a positioning base 1 and a transfer frame 2 slidably connected within the positioning base 1. The transfer frame 2 also includes a Z-axis platform 3 adjustable along the Z-axis. A battery pack loading conveyor chain 4 movable along the Y-axis is mounted on the Z-axis platform 3. A battery pack multi-mode sensor assembly is also connected to the Z-axis platform 3 along the movement direction of the battery pack loading conveyor chain 4. Battery pack limiting components 5, which cooperate with the battery pack loading conveyor chain 4, are also connected to the top two sides of the Z-axis platform 3.

[0028] In practical use:

[0029] The top of the positioning base 1 has a recessed sliding groove, and the sliding groove is connected to the X-axis rack 6 and the X-axis rail 7. The bottom end of the ferry frame 2 is connected to the X-axis rack 6 and the X-axis servo motor 8. The rotating end of the X-axis servo motor 8 meshes with the X-axis rack 6. The ferry frame 2 is moved along the X-axis rack 6 by controlling the opening and closing of the X-axis servo motor 8.

[0030] The top of the shuttle frame 2 is connected to a Z-axis servo motor 9 and a Z-axis rail 10. The rotating end of the Z-axis servo motor 9 is connected to a Z-axis lead screw 11 that is matched with the Z-axis platform 3. The Z-axis platform 3 is sleeved with the Z-axis rail 10. By starting and stopping the Z-axis servo motor 9, the Z-axis platform 3 is controlled to move along the Z-axis rail 10 through the Z-axis lead screw 11.

[0031] The Z-axis platform 3 is connected to a Y-axis motor 12. The bottom of the energy storage battery pack loading conveyor chain 4 is equipped with a Y-axis rack 13 that meshes with the Y-axis motor 12. The movement of the energy storage battery pack loading conveyor chain 4 is controlled by the cooperation of the Y-axis motor 12 and the Y-axis rack 13 to meet the needs of different positions.

[0032] The energy storage battery pack loading conveyor chain assembly 4 includes a frame and a conveyor chain mounted on the frame. A conveyor drive motor 14 is mounted on the frame in cooperation with the conveyor chain. A Y-axis rack 13 is connected to the lower end of the frame. Meanwhile, the energy storage battery pack limiting assembly 5 includes an extension wing 15 connected to both sides of the frame and several rollers 16 rotatably mounted on the extension wing 15. The rollers 16 provide auxiliary limiting to facilitate the movement of the energy storage battery pack along the sprocket direction.

[0033] The multi-mode sensing group includes a battery pack inflow detection sensor 17, a battery pack standby position detection sensor 18, and an inflow height detection sensor 19, all arranged along the length of the rack.

[0034] The energy storage battery pack inflow detection sensor 17 and the energy storage battery pack standby position detection sensor 18 have the same structure but different positions. Limit switches can be used; in this application, Omron limit switches are selected. Figure 4 As shown.

[0035] In specific implementation, this utility model

[0036] The energy storage battery pack can be hoisted or moved manually using other equipment to the loading position. In this application, the X, Y, and Z axis moving modules drive the movement of each equipment component to adjust its position. The energy storage battery pack is transported through the energy storage battery pack in-box conveyor chain assembly. The energy storage battery pack inflow detection sensor 17, the energy storage battery pack standby position detection sensor 18, and the in-box height detection sensor 19 monitor the parameters during loading and pack delivery, facilitating material feeding.

[0037] The X-axis uses a dual-drive rack and pinion drive, the Y-axis uses a single-drive rack and pinion drive, and the Z-axis uses a dual-drive ball screw drive. The energy storage battery pack is conveyed by a plate chain conveyor. If the container cluster rack size is accurate, the equipment can retrieve the coordinates of all cluster racks by searching the position array of one cluster rack, improving the loading efficiency. If the container cluster rack size is not accurate, the equipment can scan and store the coordinates of each cluster rack separately without affecting the accuracy of loading the energy storage battery pack. During use, the energy storage battery pack and the plate chain are in a relatively stationary state, and the plate chain is higher than the cluster rack, so the energy storage battery pack will not rub against the cluster rack, making it easy to promote and apply.
