Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of battery production equipment technology, and in particular to a feeding device and battery production equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Existing winding cell unloading devices generally include a frame, a horizontal moving mechanism, a vertical moving mechanism, and a clamping mechanism for holding the winding cells. The horizontal moving mechanism is mounted on the frame, the vertical moving mechanism is mounted on the telescopic end of the horizontal moving mechanism, and the clamping mechanism is mounted on the telescopic end of the vertical moving mechanism, so as to realize the function of the clamping mechanism moving in both horizontal and vertical directions, thereby realizing the unloading of the winding cells.

[0003] However, this type of winding cell unloading device requires three driving components to achieve horizontal movement, vertical movement, and clamping and placing of the winding cells, respectively. On the one hand, this results in a larger overall structural size of the winding cell unloading device, which is not conducive to improving space utilization. On the other hand, it results in higher driving energy consumption, which is not conducive to reducing production costs. Utility Model Content

[0010] A rotating component is rotatably mounted on the first sliding component;

[0011] A clamping mechanism is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating component and is used to clamp or release the workpiece to be unloaded.

[0012] The first connecting member is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating member away from the clamping mechanism;

[0013] The guide limiting assembly includes a second sliding member and a guide limiting member. The guide limiting member is disposed on the frame and has a guide limiting groove. One end of the second sliding member is slidably connected to the groove wall of the guide limiting groove, and the other end is rotatably connected to the end of the first connecting member away from the rotating member. The guide limiting groove includes a horizontal section and a vertical section that are connected. The horizontal section extends along the extension and retraction direction of the linear drive member, and the vertical section extends perpendicular to the extension and retraction direction of the linear drive member.

[0014] In addition, the feeding device according to this application may also have the following additional technical features:

[0015] In some embodiments of this application, the guide limiting groove further includes an arc-shaped transition section, and the horizontal section is connected to the vertical section through the arc-shaped transition section.

[0016] In some embodiments of this application, the vertical segment is located on the side of the horizontal segment away from the frame.

[0017] In some embodiments of this application, the feeding device further includes a mounting frame disposed on the frame, and the fixed end of the linear drive component is mounted on the mounting frame.

[0018] In some embodiments of this application, the mounting bracket has mounting holes, and the fixed end of the linear drive is mounted in the mounting holes.

[0019] In some embodiments of this application, the feeding device further includes a second connecting member, and the first sliding member is connected to the telescopic end of the linear drive member through the second connecting member.

[0020] In some embodiments of this application, the first sliding member has a slot, one end of the second connecting member is fastened to the telescopic end of the linear drive member, and the other end is provided with a protrusion that engages with the slot.

[0021] In some embodiments of this application, the feeding device further includes a third connecting member, which is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating member away from the first connecting member, and the clamping mechanism is mounted on the third connecting member.

[0022] In some embodiments of this application, the third connector is keyed to the rotating member and is fastened to the rotating member, and the clamping mechanism is fastened to the third connector.

[0023] Secondly, this application also provides a battery production apparatus, including the feeding device described in any of the above embodiments.

[0024] Compared to existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this application are:

[0025] This application discloses a feeding device in which, when the telescopic end of the linear drive is fully extended, the first sliding member, the rotating member rotatably mounted on the first sliding member, and the clamping mechanism fixedly connected to one end of the rotating member all move away from the fixed end of the linear drive. The second sliding member is located at the end of the horizontal section away from the vertical section, and the clamping mechanism grips the part to be fed. During the process of the telescopic end of the linear drive moving from full extension to full retraction, the first sliding member, the rotating member rotatably mounted on the first sliding member, and the clamping mechanism fixedly connected to one end of the rotating member all retract synchronously with the telescopic end of the linear drive and move closer to the fixed end of the linear drive. During this process, the second sliding member slides from the horizontal section to the vertical section. After the second sliding member slides from the horizontal section to the vertical section, the telescopic end of the linear drive member continues to retract from a partially retracted state to a fully retracted state. This allows the first sliding member to drive the rotating member to continue moving towards the fixed end of the linear drive member. The second sliding member remains fixed under the limiting action of the vertical section. This allows the rotating member to drive the connecting member to rotate counterclockwise relative to the second sliding member. Consequently, the clamping mechanism follows the rotating member and rotates counterclockwise from a horizontal state to a vertical state, so as to transport and release the workpiece to be unloaded onto the conveying device used to transport the workpiece.

[0026] During the process of the telescopic end of the linear drive component extending from fully retracted to fully extended, the first sliding member, the rotating member rotatably mounted on the first sliding member, and the clamping mechanism fixedly connected to one end of the rotating member all extend synchronously away from the fixed end of the linear drive component. In this process, the telescopic end of the linear drive component first extends from a fully retracted state to a partially retracted state, so that the first sliding member drives the rotating member to move away from the fixed end of the linear drive component. The second sliding member remains fixed under the limiting effect of the vertical section, thereby driving the connecting member to rotate clockwise relative to the second sliding member synchronously through the rotating member. This causes the clamping mechanism to rotate clockwise synchronously with the rotating member, returning from a vertical state to a horizontal state, so that new parts to be unloaded can be clamped subsequently. After the clamping mechanism rotates clockwise to return to the horizontal state, the telescopic end of the linear drive continues to extend from the partially retracted state to the fully extended state, so as to drive the rotating part, the clamping mechanism and the connecting part to move away from the fixed end of the linear drive through the first sliding part, thereby enabling the clamping mechanism to clamp the new workpiece to be unloaded, and causing the second sliding part to slide from the vertical section to the horizontal section away from the vertical section.

[0027] The feeding device provided in this application can feed the workpiece by setting a linear drive and a clamping drive of a clamping mechanism. This makes the overall structure of the feeding device simple and compact, effectively improving space utilization and reducing the number of drive components, which is conducive to energy saving and consumption reduction, thereby helping to reduce production costs.

[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a feeding device 100, which is mainly used in battery production equipment. The feeding device 100 includes a frame 110, a linear drive component 120, a first sliding component 130, a rotating component 140, a clamping mechanism 150, a first connecting component 160, and a guide and limiting assembly 170.

[0049] A linear guide rail 111 is provided on the frame 110, and a linear drive component 120 is disposed on the frame 110. The first sliding member 130 is slidably connected to the linear guide rail 111 and connected to the telescopic end of the linear drive component 120. The rotating member 140 is rotatably mounted on the first sliding member 130, and the clamping mechanism 150 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating member 140 for clamping or releasing the workpiece 200 to be unloaded. The first connecting member 160 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating member 140 away from the clamping mechanism 150.

[0050] The guide limiting assembly 170 includes a second sliding member 171 and a guide limiting member 172. The guide limiting member 172 is disposed on the frame 110 and has a guide limiting groove 1721. One end of the second sliding member 171 is slidably connected to the groove wall of the guide limiting groove 1721, and the other end is rotatably connected to the end of the first connecting member 160 away from the rotating member 140. The guide limiting groove 1721 includes a horizontal section 17211 and a vertical section 17212 that are connected to each other. The horizontal section 17211 extends along the extension and retraction direction of the linear drive member 120, and the vertical section 17212 extends along the extension and retraction direction perpendicular to the linear drive member 120.

[0051] In the embodiment of this application, when the telescopic end of the linear drive member 120 is fully extended, the first sliding member 130, the rotating member 140 rotatably mounted on the first sliding member 130, and the clamping mechanism 150 fixedly connected to one end of the rotating member 140 are all away from the fixed end of the linear drive member 120. The second sliding member 171 is located at the end of the horizontal section 17211 away from the vertical section 17212, and the clamping mechanism 150 clamps the part to be unloaded 200.

[0052] During the process of the telescopic end of the linear drive 120 being fully extended to fully retracted, the first sliding member 130, the rotating member 140 rotatably mounted on the first sliding member 130, and the clamping mechanism 150 fixedly connected to one end of the rotating member 140 all retract synchronously with the telescopic end of the linear drive 120 and approach the fixed end of the linear drive 120. During this process, the second sliding member 171 slides from the horizontal section 17211 to the vertical section 17212. After the second sliding member 171 slides from the horizontal section 17211 to the vertical section 17212, the telescopic end of the linear drive member 120 continues to retract from a partially retracted state to a fully retracted state. This allows the first sliding member 130 to drive the rotating member 140 to continue moving towards the fixed end of the linear drive member 120. The second sliding member 171 remains fixed under the limiting action of the vertical section 17212. Thus, the rotating member 140 drives the connecting member to rotate counterclockwise relative to the second sliding member 171. Consequently, the clamping mechanism 150 follows the rotating member 140 to rotate counterclockwise from a horizontal state to a vertical state, so as to transport and release the unloaded part 200 onto the conveying device used to transport the unloaded part 200.

[0053] During the process of the telescopic end of the linear drive 120 extending from fully retracted to fully extended, the first sliding member 130, the rotating member 140 rotatably mounted on the first sliding member 130, and the clamping mechanism 150 fixedly connected to one end of the rotating member 140 all extend synchronously away from the fixed end of the linear drive 120. In this process, the telescopic end of the linear drive 120 first extends from a fully retracted state to a partially retracted state, so that the rotating member 140 is driven by the first sliding member 130 to move away from the fixed end of the linear drive 120. The second sliding member 171 remains fixed under the limiting action of the vertical section 17212, so that the connecting member is driven by the rotating member 140 to rotate clockwise relative to the second sliding member 171, thereby causing the clamping mechanism 150 to rotate clockwise synchronously with the rotating member 140 to return from the vertical state to the horizontal state, so as to subsequently clamp a new part 200 to be unloaded. After the clamping mechanism 150 rotates clockwise to return to the horizontal state, the telescopic end of the linear drive member 120 continues to extend from the partially retracted state to the fully extended state, so as to drive the rotating member 140, the clamping mechanism 150 and the connecting member to move away from the fixed end of the linear drive member 120 through the first sliding member 130, thereby enabling the clamping mechanism 150 to clamp the new material to be unloaded 200, and causing the second sliding member 171 to slide from the vertical section 17212 to the horizontal section 17211 away from the end of the vertical section 17212.

[0054] The unloading device 100 provided in this application can unload the workpiece 200 by setting a linear drive 120 and a clamping drive of a clamping mechanism 150. This makes the overall structure of the unloading device 100 simple and compact, effectively improving space utilization and reducing the number of drive components, which is conducive to energy saving and consumption reduction, thereby helping to reduce production costs.

[0055] For example, the linear drive 120 can be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or a linear actuator motor, and the clamping mechanism 150 can be a pneumatic gripper or a hydraulic gripper.

[0056] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the guide limiting groove 1721 further includes an arc-shaped transition section 17213, and the horizontal section 17211 is connected to the vertical section 17212 through the arc-shaped transition section 17213.

[0057] In this embodiment, by providing an arc-shaped transition section 17213 that is connected to the horizontal section 17211 and the vertical section 17212 respectively, the second sliding member 171 can smoothly slide from the horizontal section 17211 to the vertical section 17212 or from the vertical section 17212 to the horizontal section 17211 under the smooth transition effect of the arc-shaped transition section 17213.

[0058] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the vertical segment 17212 is located on the side of the horizontal segment 17211 away from the frame 110.

[0059] In this embodiment, by setting the vertical section 17212 on the side of the horizontal section 17211 away from the frame 110, during the process of the telescopic end of the linear drive member 120 from a partially retracted state to a fully retracted state, the second sliding member 171 remains fixed under the limiting action of the vertical section 17212, so that the rotating member 140 can drive the connecting member to rotate counterclockwise relative to the second sliding member 171, thereby causing the clamping mechanism 150 to rotate counterclockwise synchronously with the rotating member 140, so as to transport and release the workpiece 200 to be unloaded onto the conveying device below the unloading device 100.

[0060] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the feeding device 100 further includes a mounting bracket 180, which is disposed on the frame 110, and the fixed end of the linear drive member 120 is mounted on the mounting bracket 180. Thus, the linear drive member 120 is securely mounted on the frame 110 via the mounting bracket 180.

[0061] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the above embodiments of this application, the mounting bracket 180 is provided with a mounting hole 181, and the fixed end of the linear drive member 120 is mounted in the mounting hole 181.

[0062] In this embodiment, by opening a mounting hole 181 on the mounting bracket 180 and mounting the fixed end of the linear drive 120 in the mounting hole 181, the fixed end of the linear drive 120 is securely mounted on the mounting bracket 180 through the mounting hole 181.

[0063] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the feeding device 100 further includes a second connecting member 191, and the first sliding member 130 is connected to the telescopic end of the linear drive member 120 through the second connecting member 191. This allows the first sliding member 130 to move synchronously and stably with the telescopic end of the linear drive member 120.

[0064] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the above embodiments of this application, the first sliding member 130 is provided with a slot 131, one end of the second connecting member 191 is fastened to the telescopic end of the linear drive member 120, and the other end is provided with a protrusion 1911 that engages with the slot 131.

[0065] In this embodiment, a stable connection between the second connector 191 and the telescopic end of the linear drive 120 is achieved by fastening one end of the second connector 191 to the telescopic end of the linear drive 120. Simultaneously, a slot 131 is formed on the first slider 130, and a protrusion 1911 is provided on the other end of the second connector 191 to engage with the slot 131. The engagement between the protrusion 1911 and the slot 131 further ensures a stable connection between the second connector 191 and the first slider 130.

[0066] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the feeding device 100 further includes a third connecting member 192, which is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating member 140 away from the first connecting member 160. The clamping mechanism 150 is mounted on the third connecting member 192. Thus, the clamping mechanism 150 is securely mounted on the end of the rotating member 140 away from the first connecting member 160 via the third connecting member 192, thereby enabling the clamping mechanism 150 to move and rotate synchronously and stably with the rotating member 140 via the third connecting member 192.

[0067] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in the above embodiments of this application, the third connector 192 is keyed to and fastened to the rotating member 140, and the clamping mechanism 150 is fastened to the third connector 192.

[0068] In this embodiment, by keying and fastening the third connector 192 to the rotating member 140, the stability and reliability of the connection between the third connector 192 and the rotating member 140 are ensured, thereby enabling the third connector 192 to move and rotate synchronously and stably with the rotating member 140. Simultaneously, by fastening the clamping mechanism 150 to the third connector 192, the stability and reliability of the connection between the clamping mechanism 150 and the third connector 192 are ensured, thereby enabling the clamping mechanism 150 to move and rotate synchronously and stably with the rotating member 140 via the third connector 192.
