Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sheet metal transportation equipment, and in particular to a cutting, flipping and conveying device for manufacturing battery square shells. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, lithium battery casings are mostly formed from metal sheets through multiple processing steps. The process typically involves cutting metal strips into sheets, which are then manually transferred to a flipping device. However, in actual use, after the flipping mechanism flips the metal sheets, they are prone to direct collision with the conveyor belt and damage. This is especially true for thinner and larger metal sheets, where the flipping mechanism's clamping area is small, leading to uneven stress on the sheet. This makes the sheet susceptible to deformation or impact damage during flipping, affecting the quality of subsequent processing, increasing production costs, and further increasing the risk of damage due to manual transfer, which is also inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to design a cutting, flipping and conveying device for manufacturing battery square shells to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned technology. This device ensures that the sheet metal is subjected to uniform force during the flipping process and that the sheet metal can be placed stably on the working surface of the horizontal conveying mechanism, thus avoiding direct collisions that could cause damage to the sheet metal.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is: a cutting, flipping, and conveying device for manufacturing battery square shells, comprising:

[0005] A cutting mechanism for cutting metal strips into sheets;

[0006] Two horizontal conveying mechanisms are arranged at intervals, the horizontal conveying mechanisms being used to form a path for the sheet metal to be conveyed in a straight line;

[0007] A flipping mechanism is located between the two horizontal conveying mechanisms. The flipping mechanism includes a flipping mounting frame, a flipping drive shaft, and a flipping drive device. The flipping drive shaft is rotatably connected to the flipping mounting frame. A clamping member is provided on the flipping drive shaft. The clamping member has a slot for positioning the plate. The flipping drive shaft is driven by the flipping drive device to cause the clamping member to flip around the axial direction of the flipping drive shaft. When the clamping member is flipped to a horizontal state, the slot corresponds to the working surface of the horizontal conveying mechanism.

[0008] The feeding mechanism includes a translation mechanism, a lifting mechanism, a translation frame, and two clamping mechanisms symmetrically arranged on the translation frame. The translation frame is driven to move up and down by the lifting mechanism, and the lifting mechanism is driven to move horizontally by the translation mechanism.

[0009] Preferably, the cutting mechanism includes a cutting table, a cutting mounting frame, a cutting die, and a cutting drive device. The cutting table is for placing the metal strip horizontally, and the cutting die is driven by the cutting drive device to move up and down, so that the cutting table and the cutting die cooperate with each other to cut the metal strip into sheet metal.

[0010] Preferably, the horizontal conveying mechanism includes a conveyor frame, a plurality of linear conveyor belts evenly distributed along the length of the conveyor frame, a conveyor drive shaft, and a conveyor motor. Each linear conveyor belt is connected to the conveyor drive shaft, and the conveyor drive shaft is driven by the conveyor motor to drive each linear conveyor belt to run. A plate is placed on the working surface of each linear conveyor belt.

[0011] Preferably, a buffer platform is provided on the side of the linear conveyor belt, and a flexible support structure is provided on the top surface of the buffer platform. The end of the clamping member is arranged at intervals with the corresponding buffer platform.

[0015] Preferably, the linear conveyor belt has two driven wheels, which are rotatably connected to both ends of the conveyor frame, and the conveyor drive shaft and each of its driving wheels are located below the conveyor frame.

[0016] Preferably, the inner wall of the card slot is symmetrically provided with two protective pads.

[0017] Preferably, the feeding mechanism further includes an adsorption head, which is disposed on the translation frame between the two clamping mechanisms.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] This utility model discloses a cutting, flipping, and conveying device for manufacturing battery square shells. It comprises two horizontal conveying mechanisms and a flipping mechanism located between them. One horizontal conveying mechanism serves as the receiving side, transporting the sheet metal to the flipping mechanism. The slots of each clamping member correspond to the sheet metal, ensuring that the sheet metal is positioned within the slots and thus limited by the clamping members. A flipping drive device drives a flipping drive shaft to flip each clamping member to a horizontal position on the other side, thereby flipping the sheet metal onto the other horizontal conveying mechanism. The other horizontal conveying mechanism serves as the output side, transporting the sheet metal out. When the clamping members are flipped to a horizontal state, the slots correspond to the working surface of the linear conveyor belt, ensuring that the sheet metal can be stably placed on the working surface of the horizontal conveying mechanism, avoiding direct collisions and damage. This not only guarantees the quality of subsequent processing but also reduces production costs caused by sheet metal damage. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0029] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 A cutting, flipping, and conveying device for manufacturing battery square shells includes a frame 1, two horizontal conveying mechanisms 2, a flipping mechanism 3, a feeding mechanism 4, and a cutting mechanism 6. The two horizontal conveying mechanisms 2 are arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart on the frame 1. The horizontal conveying mechanisms 2 are used to form a straight conveying path for the sheet metal 5. The horizontal conveying mechanism 2 includes a conveying frame 21, four straight conveyor belts 22 arranged in an array spaced apart along the length direction of the conveying frame 21, a conveying drive shaft 23, and a conveying motor 24. The conveying frame 21 and the conveying motor 24 are both mounted on the frame 1. The conveying drive shaft 23 is rotatably connected to the frame 1, and the output shaft of the conveying motor 24 is connected to the conveying drive shaft 23.

[0030] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6The linear conveyor belt 22 includes a conveyor frame 221, a buffer platform 202, a drive pulley 222, two driven pulleys 223, and a conveyor belt 224. The conveyor frame 221 is mounted on the conveyor frame 221. The two driven pulleys 223 are rotatably connected to both ends of the conveyor frame 221. Each drive pulley 222 is mounted on a conveyor drive shaft 23, so that each linear conveyor belt 22 is connected to the conveyor drive shaft 23 for transmission. The conveyor drive shaft 23 and its drive pulleys 222 are located below the conveyor frame 221. The conveyor belt 224 is fitted onto the drive pulleys 222 and the driven pulleys 223. Both the drive pulleys 222 and the driven pulleys 223 are synchronous pulleys, and the conveyor belt 224 is a synchronous belt. The drive pulleys 222 and the driven pulleys 223 are connected to the conveyor belt 224 by synchronous belt transmission. The working surface of each linear conveyor belt 22 is covered with a plate 5. The conveyor drive shaft 23 is driven by a conveyor motor 24 to drive each linear conveyor belt 22, thereby linearly conveying the plate 5. Preferably, the conveyor frame 221 is also provided with two symmetrically arranged tensioning wheels 201, and the conveyor belt 224 passes around the opposite sides of the two tensioning wheels 201 and is sleeved on the corresponding drive wheel 222 to ensure the transmission stability of the linear conveyor belt 22.

[0031] A buffer platform 202 is provided on the side of the linear conveyor belt 22. The buffer platform 202 is fixedly connected to the side of the transmission frame. The buffer platform 202 extends along the length of the transmission frame 221. A flexible support structure 203 is provided on the top surface of the buffer platform 202. The flexible support structure 203 includes a number of brush columns 204. Each brush column 204 is evenly arranged on the top surface of the buffer platform 202. The top surface of the flexible support structure 203 is higher than the working surface of the linear conveyor belt 22. The top surface of the buffer platform 202 is lower than the working surface of the linear conveyor belt 22, or the top surface of the buffer platform 202 is flush with the working surface of the linear conveyor belt 22.

[0032] refer to Figures 3 to 7 The flipping mechanism 3 is located between two horizontal conveying mechanisms 2. The flipping mechanism 3 includes a flipping mounting frame 31, a flipping drive shaft 32, and a flipping drive device 33. The flipping mounting frame 31 is fixedly connected to the frame 1, and the flipping drive shaft 32 is rotatably connected to the flipping mounting frame 31. A long, narrow clamping member 302 is provided on the flipping drive shaft 32 relative to the buffer table 202. A flipping seat 301 and two clamping members 302 symmetrically arranged on the flipping seat 301 are also provided on the flipping drive shaft 32 relative to the buffer table 202. The clamping member 302 has a slot 303 for positioning the plate 5. The flipping drive device 33 drives the flipping drive shaft 32 to rotate, causing the clamping members 302 to flip around the axial direction of the flipping drive shaft 32, so that the two clamping members 302 on the flipping seat 301 flip 180°. The ends of the clamping members 302 are spaced apart from their corresponding buffer tables 202 to avoid interference from the buffer tables 202 with the flipping movement of the clamping members 302.

[0033] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 One of the horizontal conveying mechanisms 2 serves as the receiving side, and the cutting mechanism 6 is located beside the horizontal conveying mechanism 2 on the receiving side. The cutting mechanism 6 includes a cutting table 61, a cutting mounting frame 62, a cutting die 63, and a cutting drive device 64. The cutting table 61 is mounted on the frame 1 and is used for horizontal placement of the metal strip. The cutting drive device 64 consists of two telescopic drive devices, the telescopic bottom of which is connected to the cutting die 63. The telescopic drive device can be a telescopic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric push rod. The cutting die 63 is driven by the cutting drive device 64 to move up and down, so that the cutting table 61 and the cutting die 63 cooperate to cut the metal strip into sheet metal 5. Preferably, the cutting table 61 can be fixedly connected to the frame 1; or the cutting table 61 can also be slidably mounted on the frame 1. The cutting table 61 is driven by a translation drive device to move closer to or away from the horizontal conveying mechanism 2. The translation drive device can be a telescopic cylinder or an electric push rod.

[0034] refer to Figures 1 to 7 The horizontal conveyor 2 on the receiving side is used to linearly convey the cut sheet material 5. The conveyor motor 24 on the receiving side drives the conveyor drive shaft 23 to rotate, thereby driving each linear conveyor belt 22 to run. The sheet material 5 is placed on the working surface of each linear conveyor belt 22 on the receiving side. The flexible support structure 203 of each buffer platform 202 on the receiving side supports the sheet material 5 so that it can be placed stably on the working surface of each linear conveyor belt 22 on the receiving side. Each linear conveyor belt 22 on the receiving side conveys the sheet material 5 to the flipping mechanism 3. At this time, the slots 303 of each clamping member 302 correspond to the sheet material 5 so that the sheet material can be moved smoothly. After the material 5 enters each slot 303, it is limited by each clamping component 302. Two guide walls 304 are formed on the opening side of the slot 303 near the buffer table 202. The two guide walls 304 cooperate with each other to guide the material 5 into the slot 303. Two protective pads 305 are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the slot 303. The protective pads 305 can be made of rubber or sponge material. When the material 5 enters the slot 303, the opposite sides of the two protective pads 305 abut against the two side walls of the material 5, protecting the clamping contact surface of the material 5 while also achieving a better positioning effect for the material 5.

[0035] When the plate 5 is conveyed from the receiving side to the flipping mechanism 3 and one side of the plate 5 enters each slot 303, the flipping drive device 33 drives the flipping drive shaft 32 to drive each clamping member 302 to flip to the horizontal position on the other side, thereby flipping the plate 5 onto another horizontal conveying mechanism 2.

[0036] Another horizontal conveyor mechanism 2 serves as the discharge side. The horizontal conveyor mechanism 2 on the discharge side is used to linearly convey the flipped plate 5. The conveyor motor 24 on the discharge side drives the conveyor drive shaft 23 to drive each linear conveyor belt 22 to run and convey the plate 5 out. When the clamping member 302 is flipped to a horizontal state, the slot 303 corresponds to the working surface of the linear conveyor belt 22, so that the plate 5 is subjected to uniform force during the flipping process. This ensures that the plate 5 can be placed stably on the working surface of each linear conveyor belt 22, avoiding direct collision of the plate 5 and causing damage. This not only ensures the quality of subsequent processing, but also reduces the production cost increased due to damage to the plate 5. Furthermore, when the plate 5 comes into contact with the buffer platform 202 next to the linear conveyor belt 22 during the flipping process, since the top surface of the flexible support structure 203 is higher than the working surface of the linear conveyor belt 22, a part of the plate 5 can be clamped by the clamping parts 302 that are flipped to a horizontal position, and another part of the plate 5 can be supported and buffered by the flexible support structures 203 on the discharge side. The flexible support structures 203 can deform under the gravity of the plate 5, so that the bottom surface of the plate 5 comes into contact with the working surface of the linear conveyor belt 22. In addition, as the plate 5 passes through the brush columns 204 of the flexible support structure 203, the brush columns 204 can also clean the dust and impurities on the plate 5.

[0037] The feeding mechanism 4 is located on the receiving side. The feeding mechanism 4 includes a translation mechanism 41, a lifting mechanism 42, a translation frame 43, and two clamping mechanisms 44 and an adsorption head 45 set on the translation frame 43. The translation mechanism 41 can be a screw translation device, and the lifting mechanism 42 can be a telescopic cylinder or an electric push rod. The translation mechanism 41 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. The translation frame 43 is set on the lifting end of the lifting mechanism 42, and the lifting mechanism 42 is set on the translation end of the translation mechanism 41. Two adjacent straight conveyor belts 22 are set in the middle of the conveyor frame 21. The two adjacent straight conveyor belts 22 are arranged at intervals, and the gap between the two adjacent straight conveyor belts 22 allows the translation frame 43 to move. The two clamping mechanisms 44 are symmetrically arranged on the top surface of the translation frame 43. The adsorption head 45 is set on the translation frame 43 between the two clamping mechanisms 44. The clamping mechanism 44 is a pneumatic gripper. The pneumatic gripper is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The suction head 45 is a vacuum suction cup, which is connected to a vacuum pump. Vacuum suction cups are existing technology and will not be described in detail here. When the sheet material 5 is delivered to the receiving side, the translation frame 43 is driven to move up and down by the lifting mechanism 42, which in turn is driven to move horizontally by the translation mechanism 41. The lifting mechanism 42 and the translation mechanism 41 adjust the position of the translation frame 43 so that the clamping ends of the two clamping mechanisms 44 correspond to the sheet material 5, thereby clamping the sheet material 5. The suction end of the suction head 45 is located on the bottom surface of the sheet material 5. While the suction head 45 adsorbs and positions the sheet material 5, it also supports the sheet material 5, ensuring that the sheet material 5 can be stably transferred from the feeding mechanism 4 to the working surface of each linear conveyor belt 22 on the receiving side.

[0038] Of course, the above are just typical examples of this utility model. In addition, this utility model may have many other specific implementation methods. All technical solutions formed by equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
