Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery production technology, and more specifically, to a battery cell buffer device. Background Technology

[0002] During the production of solar cells, after the conductive tape is applied, the cells need to be temporarily stored in a buffer station for subsequent processing. In existing technologies, the design of the solar cell buffer station typically employs a multi-layered structure. To prevent the wires between the solar cells from coming into contact with each other, appropriate spacing is maintained between the layers of the buffer station.

[0003] However, the inventors discovered that during the lifting and lowering operation of the buffer station, the solar cells are prone to displacement due to vibration or force. When these misaligned solar cells come into contact with the conveyor belt, they are easily jammed or collide, leading to fragmentation or blockage, which affects the normal operation of the production line and product quality.

[0027] In related technologies, when the buffer station is raised or lowered, the battery cells are prone to displacement due to vibration or external force, causing them to get stuck or collide with the conveyor belt, which can lead to fragmentation and blockage, affecting production efficiency and product quality.

[0034] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.

[0035] The following describes in detail the overall structure, working principle, and technical effects of the battery cell buffer device 10 provided by this utility model through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a battery cell buffer device 10, which is applied in the field of battery production technology. It can effectively prevent the battery cells 30 from shifting during the lifting or moving of the buffer device, thereby reducing defects such as fragmentation and cell blockage.

[0037] The cell buffer device 10 includes a mounting frame 100 and multiple positioning mechanisms 300 spaced vertically. The mounting frame 100 serves as the supporting skeleton of the overall structure, ensuring the stability of the device during lifting and lowering operations. Each positioning mechanism 300 includes a positioning plate 310 and a positioning assembly 330. The positioning plate 310 is connected to the mounting frame 100 and serves to support the cells. The positioning assembly 330 is connected to the mounting frame 100, located above the positioning plate 310, and serves to hold and fix the cells 30, effectively preventing the cells 30 from shifting due to vibration or external forces during the lifting and lowering process of the buffer station. This avoids potential fragmentation and cell blockage in subsequent processes, significantly improving production efficiency and product yield.

[0038] Furthermore, the mounting bracket 100 includes four square tubes 110, forming a frame structure. Specifically, the four square tubes 110 are connected to the four corners of the positioning plate 310 to ensure the stability of the positioning plate 310 in both the vertical and horizontal directions, reducing the possibility of the solar cell 30 tilting during load-bearing. Moreover, the positioning assembly 330 is connected to any one of the square tubes 110 to ensure consistent fixation of the solar cell 30 during long-term use.

[0039] To facilitate stable fixing of the battery cell 30 from multiple directions and prevent the battery cell 30 from shifting or rotating during lifting, such as Figure 2 As shown, each positioning mechanism 300 includes four positioning components 330. Based on this, the four positioning components 330 are respectively connected to the four square tubes 110 in a one-to-one correspondence, so as to make full use of the structural advantages of the mounting bracket 100, achieve a uniform distribution of the supporting force, and thus ensure the absolute stability of the battery cell 30 in the buffer station.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, to enhance the stability of the mounting frame 100, the mounting frame 100 also includes a connecting plate 130, with the top ends of the four square tubes 110 connected to the four corners of the connecting plate 130. It can be understood that the connecting plate 130, as a key supporting structure at the top, can firmly integrate the four square tubes 110 into a whole, significantly improving the structural stability and load-bearing capacity of the mounting frame 100, and effectively preventing frame deformation caused by external forces or vibrations.

[0041] In some embodiments, the positioning assembly 330 includes a positioning element 331 connected to the square tube 110 and used to hold and fix the battery cell 30. It is understood that the coordinated action of the stably positioned positioning element 331 and the positioning plate 310 can effectively prevent the battery cell 30 from shifting during the lifting and lowering of the buffer station.

[0042] In other embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the positioning assembly 330 includes a positioning element 331 and two elastic elements 333. The positioning element 331 is used to hold and fix the battery cell 30. The two elastic elements 333 are both connected to the square tube 110 and respectively abut against the positioning element 331 on both sides in the vertical direction. This symmetrical distribution design ensures that the positioning element 331 receives uniform support force from both the top and bottom sides when subjected to external impact or vibration, forming more balanced support and buffering in the vertical direction, thereby better absorbing and dispersing force.

[0043] For example, when the mounting bracket 100 descends rapidly, the battery cell 30 tends to maintain its original position due to inertia, thus moving upward relative to the mounting bracket 100. At this time, the upper elastic element 333 quickly applies a slight downward pressure to the battery cell 30 through the positioning element 331, ensuring that the battery cell 30 always remains in close contact with the bottom of the buffer station, preventing displacement or damage. When the mounting bracket 100 descends rapidly, the battery cell 30 tends to maintain its original position due to inertia, thus moving downward relative to the mounting bracket 100. At this time, the lower elastic element 333 will lift the positioning element 331 upward, preventing the positioning element 331 from applying excessive resistance.

[0044] Please refer to it again. Figure 4 The elastic element 333 includes a spring 3331 and a pusher block 3333. One end of the spring 3331 is connected to the square tube 110, and the other end is connected to the pusher block 3333. Based on the above configuration, on the one hand, the elastic force of the spring 3331 can effectively buffer the vibration and impact force generated during the lifting and lowering of the device, thereby reducing the impact on the battery cell 30 and improving the overall stability; on the other hand, by using the pusher block 3333 to evenly transmit the elastic force of the spring 3331 to the positioning element 331, it can be ensured that the fixing force applied by the positioning element 331 to the battery cell 30 is both stable and moderate, avoiding damage or loosening of the battery cell 30 due to excessive or insufficient force.

[0045] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The square tube 110 has a clearance groove 111 communicating with the inner cavity. The positioning element 331 includes a first shaft portion 3311 and a second shaft portion 3313 connected at an angle. It should be noted that the clearance groove 111 is designed to allow the first shaft portion 3311 to enter the inner cavity of the square tube 110, and the second shaft portion 3313 extends out and abuts against the fixed battery piece 30. That is, the first shaft portion 3311 is located in the inner cavity of the square tube 110, and the second shaft portion 3313 extends out of the clearance groove 111 and is used to abut against and fix the battery piece 30.

[0046] In addition, it should be noted that the design of the first shaft portion 3311 and the second shaft portion 3313 being connected at an angle facilitates the second shaft portion 3313 to pass through the clearance groove 111, while not affecting the sliding of the first shaft portion 3311 in the inner cavity of the square tube 110.

[0047] Furthermore, one end of the elastic element 333 is connected to the wall of the relief groove 111, and the other end is sleeved on the first shaft portion 3311 and abuts against the second shaft portion 3313. It can be understood that, through its cooperation with the first shaft portion 3311, the elastic element 333 provides constant and adjustable elastic support to the second shaft portion 3313, ensuring that the second shaft portion 3313 can always provide a moderate supporting force to the battery cell 30.

[0048] Optionally, the positioning assembly 330 also includes a positioning roller 335, which is rotatably connected to the second shaft portion 3313. The positioning roller 335 effectively reduces the direct contact friction between the battery cell 30 and the second shaft portion 3313. By using rolling contact, it significantly reduces frictional resistance and avoids scratches or damage to the surface of the battery cell 30 due to excessive friction. In addition, the rotatable connection design of the positioning roller 335 can also adapt to slight positional changes of the battery cell 30, ensuring a more stable and reliable fixing process.

[0049] like Figure 5As shown, the second shaft portion 3313 is connected to the middle of the first shaft portion 3311, forming a "T"-shaped structure together with the first shaft portion 3311. It can be understood that when the positioning assembly 330 includes two elastic elements 333, the two elastic elements 333 can be sleeved on both ends of the first shaft portion 3311 and located on both sides of the second shaft portion 3313. Based on this, when the buffer station rises or falls, if a force in the opposite direction occurs, the tension of the elastic elements 333 can effectively buffer this force from both the upper and lower directions, further ensuring the fixation effect of the battery cell 30 during the lifting and lowering process.

[0050] In summary, this utility model provides a battery cell buffer device 10, including a mounting frame 100 and a plurality of positioning mechanisms 300 spaced apart along the vertical direction. The mounting frame 100 serves as the supporting skeleton of the overall structure, ensuring the stability of the device during lifting and lowering operations. Each positioning mechanism 300 includes a positioning plate 310 and a positioning component 330. The positioning plate 310 is connected to the mounting frame 100 and serves to support the battery. The positioning component 330 is connected to the mounting frame 100, located above the positioning plate 310, and serves to hold and fix the battery cell 30, thereby effectively preventing the battery cell 30 from shifting due to vibration or external force during the lifting and lowering process of the buffer station, avoiding potential fragmentation and cell blockage in subsequent processes, and significantly improving production efficiency and product yield.

[0051] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
