Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lithium battery recycling and transfer technology, and in particular to a transfer mechanism for lithium battery recycling. Background Technology
[0002] Lithium-ion batteries are a type of battery that uses lithium metal or lithium alloys as the positive or negative electrode material and a non-aqueous electrolyte solution. Lithium-ion batteries can be broadly classified into two categories: lithium metal batteries and lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion batteries do not contain metallic lithium and are rechargeable. Because discarded lithium-ion batteries contain scarce metal elements such as cobalt, lithium, and nickel, which are widely used in new energy vehicles, aerospace, and other fields, recycling them can reduce dependence on primary mineral resources and alleviate mining pressure.
[0003] An existing lithium battery recycling transfer mechanism (publication number: CN222793573U) uses two multi-stage cylinders to adjust the distance between two upper and two lower pressure plates, thus adapting to the clamping and transfer of large and small lithium battery boxes. Although it can use the multi-stage cylinders to adjust the distance to clamp large boxes, it lacks horizontal limiters, which easily leads to severe shaking during transfer, increasing the risk of lithium batteries falling and being damaged. Furthermore, it is not ideal for fixing small boxes, making it difficult to cope with transportation bumps and unable to adapt to the transfer needs of lithium battery boxes of different sizes. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a transfer mechanism for lithium battery recycling.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A transfer mechanism for lithium battery recycling includes a transfer vehicle body, a lower support plate, and a support frame plate. A porous vacuum suction cup is fitted into the middle of the lower support plate. An electric push rod is installed on one side of the upper end of the lower support plate by fasteners. A side plate is fixed on the output shaft of the electric push rod. A guide rod is fixed on the upper end of the support frame plate. A movable plate is movably mounted on the guide rod. An upper pressure plate is fixedly installed at one end of the movable plate. A vacuum pump is provided at the lower end of the lower support plate. An air pipe is fixed between the vacuum pump and the bottom of the porous vacuum suction cup.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the vacuum pump is connected to the transfer vehicle body via fasteners, and the support frame plate is fixedly connected to one end of the lower bearing plate.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, an electric push rod is installed at the middle of the upper end of the support frame plate by fasteners, and an elastic pad is embedded in the inner wall of the upper pressure plate.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the output shaft of the electric push rod II is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate, and the guide rods are symmetrically distributed on the support frame plate.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the electric push rods are evenly distributed on the lower support plate, and the side plates are symmetrically distributed on the lower support plate.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, an elastic pad is embedded in the inner wall of the side plate, and movable wheels are movably provided at the bottom of the transfer vehicle body, with the movable wheels being evenly distributed at the bottom of the transfer vehicle body.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] In use, by setting up an electric push rod, a side plate, and an elastic pad, and by activating a multi-hole vacuum suction cup for auxiliary positioning, after placing a medium to large lithium battery case, the electric push rod drives the side plate to move inward. The elastic pad on the inner wall of the side plate then fits against the side of the case, preventing damage from rigid clamping. At the same time, the multi-hole vacuum suction cup adsorbs the bottom of the case, working together from both the side and bottom to achieve a stable clamping of the medium to large case, ensuring that the case will not shake or shift during transportation. Furthermore, by setting up a multi-hole vacuum suction cup, an upper pressure plate, a guide rod, and an electric push rod, a negative pressure is first created in the multi-hole vacuum suction cup to adsorb and fix the case, preventing horizontal movement. Then, the electric push rod drives the upper pressure plate to descend along the guide rod. The combination of vertical pressure and bottom adsorption force meets the fixing needs of small cases of different heights, effectively improving the safety and stability of lithium battery transportation.

[0022] Reference Figures 1-4 A transfer mechanism for lithium battery recycling includes a transfer vehicle body 1, a lower support plate 2, and a support frame plate 3. A porous vacuum suction cup 102 is fitted into the upper middle part of the lower support plate 2. An electric push rod 201 is installed on one side of the upper end of the lower support plate 2 by fasteners. A side plate 101 is fixed on the output shaft of the electric push rod 201. A guide rod 301 is fixed on the upper end of the support frame plate 3. A movable plate 302 is movably installed on the guide rod 301. An upper pressure plate 202 is fixedly installed at one end of the movable plate 302. A vacuum pump 103 is provided at the lower end of the lower support plate 2. An air pipe 104 is fixed between the vacuum pump 103 and the bottom of the porous vacuum suction cup 102.
[0023] In use, place the lithium battery case on the lower support plate 2 and simultaneously start the electric push rods 201 on both sides, which will drive the two sets of side plates 101 to move inward. The elastic pads 105 on the inner wall of the side plates 101 first fit against the side of the case for flexible clamping. Then, start the vacuum pump 103 and extract the air from the porous vacuum suction cup 102 through the air pipe 104. Use negative pressure to adsorb the bottom of the case to complete the stable fixation of medium and large cases. If it is necessary to transport small lithium battery cases, place them on the lower support plate 2 and start the vacuum pump 103 directly. Extract the air from the porous vacuum suction cup 102 through the air pipe 104 to prevent it from moving horizontally. Then, start the electric push rod 303 to drive the movable plate 302 to slide along the guide rods 301 on both sides. At the same time, the movable plate 302 drives the upper pressure plate 202 to move, so that the elastic pads 203 lightly press the top of the case. Combined with the suction force at the bottom, it achieves stable clamping of small cases, effectively ensuring the safety and stability of lithium battery cases of different specifications during transportation.
[0024] In this embodiment, the vacuum pump 103 is connected to the transport vehicle body 1 by fasteners, and the support frame plate 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the lower bearing plate 2.
[0025] In use, the porous vacuum suction cup 102 is connected to the vacuum pump 103 through the air pipe 104, and the suction cup 102 draws air to form a negative pressure to adsorb the bottom of the lithium battery box, so as to achieve precise positioning and stable fixation.
[0026] In this embodiment, an electric push rod 303 is installed at the middle of the upper end of the support plate 3 by fasteners, and an elastic pad 203 is embedded in the inner wall of the upper pressure plate 202.
[0027] In use, the inner walls of the side plate 101 and the upper pressure plate 202 are respectively fitted with elastic pads made of neoprene rubber, namely elastic pad 105 and elastic pad 203. The surface anti-slip texture design enhances the friction, while the elastic deformation buffers the clamping force to avoid damaging the surface of the lithium battery box.
[0028] In this embodiment, the output shaft of the electric push rod 303 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate 302, and the guide rods 301 are symmetrically distributed on the support frame plate 3.
[0029] In use, the guide rod 301 is symmetrically fixed on the support frame plate 3 and slidably connected with the movable plate 302 to form a guide structure, ensuring that the electric push rod 201 drives the upper pressure plate 202 to rise and fall smoothly without deviation.
[0030] In this embodiment, the electric push rods 201 are evenly distributed on the lower support plate 2, and the side plates 101 are symmetrically distributed on the lower support plate 2.
[0031] When in use, the movable wheel 106 is a polyurethane universal wheel with a brake locking function, which is adapted to the movement needs of the transfer vehicle 1, taking into account both flexibility and parking stability.
[0032] In this embodiment, an elastic pad 105 is embedded in the inner wall of the side plate 101, and a movable wheel 106 is movably provided at the bottom of the transfer vehicle body 1. The movable wheel 106 is evenly distributed at the bottom of the transfer vehicle body 1.
[0033] When in use, the vacuum pump 103 is model LP-0300V, and the electric actuator 1 201 and electric actuator 2 303 are model YNT-03.
[0034] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects: In use, if a medium to large lithium battery box needs to be transported, it is first placed on the lower support plate 2, and the electric push rods 201 on both sides are simultaneously activated, thereby driving the two sets of side plates 101 to move inwards respectively. The elastic pads 105 on the inner wall of the side plates 101 first flexibly clamp the side of the box, and then the vacuum pump 103 is activated, drawing air from the porous vacuum suction cup 102 through the air pipe 104, activating the vacuum suction cup auxiliary positioning function, and using negative pressure to adsorb the bottom of the box to complete the stable fixation of the medium to large box. If a small... For the lithium battery case, after placing it on the lower support plate 2, the vacuum pump 103 is started directly. Air is drawn from the porous vacuum suction cup 102 through the air pipe 104. The negative pressure is used to fix the bottom of the case and prevent it from moving horizontally. Then, the electric push rod 303 is started to drive the movable plate 302 to slide along the guide rods 301 on both sides. At the same time, the movable plate 302 drives the upper pressure plate 202 to move, so that the elastic pad 203 lightly presses the top of the case.
