Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of power battery production equipment, and specifically relates to a lifting and blocking mechanism for a square battery conveying line. Background Technology

[0002] During battery production and handling, batteries are transported via conveyor lines. To improve the efficiency of these lines, multiple conveyor channels are set up. However, because batteries enter the conveyor line at different times, their positions on the line vary, leading to errors during consistent production operations. Therefore, blocking mechanisms are needed to prevent batteries from entering the line and ensure consistent battery positions across all channels.

[0003] In existing technologies, lifting and blocking mechanisms all use a drive device to move a blocking plate up and down. During the process of the blocking plate rising and separating from the battery, the blocking plate will rub against the surface of the battery, which may cause damage to the surface of the battery and may affect the quality of the battery. Therefore, improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention designs a lifting and blocking mechanism suitable for square batteries. During the lifting and blocking process, friction on the battery surface is reduced, thereby avoiding potential damage, ensuring battery quality, and reducing product defect rate.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A square battery lifting and blocking mechanism includes a bracket and an upper mounting beam connected to the bracket. The bracket has a mounting plate located below the upper mounting beam. The mounting plate has an inclined surface with an angle greater than 90° between the inclined surface and the lower end face of the mounting plate. A guide rail is provided on the inclined surface. The mechanism also includes a lifting slider that slides on the guide rail. A blocking mounting plate is fixedly connected to the lifting slider. Several blocking plates are connected to the blocking mounting plates, and the outer end faces of the blocking plates are inclined, with the inclination angle of the outer end face complementary to the inclination angle of the inclined surface. A lifting power unit is provided on the upper mounting beam, and the movable end of the lifting power unit is connected to the blocking mounting plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the blocking plate is provided with mounting holes, and photoelectric detection components are installed in the mounting holes, with the photoelectric detection components located on the side away from the vertical plane.

[0008] Furthermore, the blocking plate includes a front blocking plate and a rear connecting plate. The lower ends of the front blocking plate and the rear connecting plate are tightly connected, and the upper ends are located on both sides of the blocking mounting plate and are fixedly connected to the blocking mounting plate by fasteners.

[0009] Furthermore, the mounting plate is provided with a set of guide rails in parallel, and a distal mounting plate is provided at each of the two distal ends of the upper mounting beam. The distal mounting plate is also provided with an inclined surface, and a guide rail is also provided on the inclined surface of the distal mounting plate. Each of the guide rails is provided with a lifting slider, and two blocking mounting plates are also included. The two ends of the blocking mounting plates are respectively connected to the lifting sliders on the same side. Two lifting power units are provided on the upper mounting beam, and the output ends of the two lifting power units are respectively connected to the two blocking mounting plates.

[0010] Furthermore, the lifting power unit is a cylinder.

[0011] Furthermore, the distal mounting plate is provided with an upper fixed mounting plate and a lower fixed mounting plate, and photoelectric sensors are respectively provided on the upper fixed mounting plate and the lower fixed mounting plate. The two blocking mounting plates are respectively provided with photoelectric detection plates. The photoelectric detection plates cooperate with the photoelectric sensors to detect the position of the blocking mounting plates.

[0012] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] This invention improves the battery blocking mechanism on the conveyor line. It utilizes the inclined surface of the mounting plate in conjunction with the guide rail and lifting slider. The outer end face of the blocking plate is also inclined, ensuring that the blocking plate is perpendicular to the horizontal plane after installation. During the upward movement of the blocking mounting plate along the guide rail driven by the lifting power unit, the inclined surface of the mounting plate causes the blocking plate to tend to move backward and upward, allowing it to quickly detach from the battery. This overcomes the problem of battery surface wear caused by the blocking plate in existing technologies, ensuring product quality and reducing the defect rate. Attached Figure Description

The terminology used herein in the description of this invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0021] In this invention, terms such as "first," "second," and "third" are used not to represent specific quantities or orders, but merely to distinguish names.

[0022] To address the problem of battery surface wear caused by the up-and-down movement of the baffle plate in existing technologies, this invention improves the lifting and blocking mechanism.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a square battery lifting and blocking mechanism includes a bracket 1 and an upper mounting beam 2 connected to the bracket 1. The bracket 1 has a mounting plate 3 located below the upper mounting beam 2. The surface of the mounting plate 3 has an inclined surface 30, and the angle between the inclined surface 30 and the lower end face of the mounting plate 3 is greater than 90°. The upper mounting beam is inclinedly connected to the bracket, and the upper mounting plate is perpendicular to the inclined surface. The inclined surface has a guide rail 4, and a lifting slider 5 that slides on the guide rail 4 is also included. A blocking mounting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the lifting slider 5. Several blocking plates 7 are connected to the blocking mounting plate 6, and the outer end face of the blocking plate is inclined, with the inclination angle of the outer end face being complementary to the inclination angle of the inclined surface. The upper mounting beam 2 has a lifting power unit 8, and the movable end of the lifting power unit 8 is connected to the blocking mounting plate.

[0024] This invention improves the lifting and blocking mechanism. First, the structure of the mounting plate is improved by adopting an inclined surface design. The entire surface of the mounting plate can be machined into an inclined surface, or only a portion of it can be machined. The angle of the inclined surface is limited. When the lifting slider on the guide rail moves along the guide rail, the inclined surface causes it to move upwards and backwards, allowing the blocking plate to quickly detach from the battery surface. This reduces wear on the battery surface during the lifting process, ensuring product quality and improving yield. Furthermore, the outer end face of the blocking plate blocks the battery and contacts its surface. By limiting the angle of the outer end face (the angle between the outer end face and the lower end face of the blocking plate), the inclined design of the outer end face, combined with the inclined angle of the mounting plate, ensures that the outer end face of the installed blocking plate is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. This provides a larger contact area when in contact with the battery, preventing localized stress that could cause deformation of the battery surface.

[0025] The blocking plate 7 is provided with mounting holes 70, and photoelectric detection components 71 are provided in the mounting holes. The photoelectric detection components are located on the side away from the vertical plane. The photoelectric detection components are used to detect whether the battery components of the corresponding conveying channel have moved into place. This serves as a criterion for whether the lifting power unit can work. The lifting power unit can only operate when the photoelectric detection components of all blocking plates have detected the presence of batteries.

[0026] The connection structure between the blocking plate and the blocking mounting plate is further defined. The blocking plate includes a front blocking plate 72 and a rear connecting plate 73. The lower ends of the front blocking plate 72 and the rear connecting plate 73 are tightly connected, and the upper ends are located on both sides of the blocking mounting plate 6 and are fixedly connected to the blocking mounting plate by fasteners. Specifically, the rear connecting plate includes an upper connecting plate and a lower connecting plate arranged in parallel. The upper connecting plate and the lower connecting plate are connected by a transition plate. The lower connecting plate is tightly attached to the front blocking plate, and the two are fastened together by screws. The upper connecting plate is located on one side of the blocking mounting plate and is connected to the blocking mounting plate by fasteners.

[0027] To accommodate the blocking requirements of multiple conveying devices and multiple conveying channels, the blocking mechanism is modified accordingly. A set of guide rails 4 are arranged in parallel on the mounting plate 3. A far-end mounting plate 20 is provided at each of the two far ends of the upper mounting beam 2. The far-end mounting plate 20 also has an inclined surface, and a guide rail 4 is also provided on the inclined surface of the far-end mounting plate. Each of the guide rails 4 is provided with a lifting slider 5. It also includes two blocking mounting plates 6. The two ends of the blocking mounting plate 6 are respectively connected to the lifting slider 5 on the same side. Two lifting power units 8 are provided on the upper mounting beam 2. The output ends of the two lifting power units 8 are respectively connected to the two blocking mounting plates. The blocking mechanism here realizes the blocking of dual conveying lines and meets the blocking requirements of multiple conveying lines at the same time.

[0028] The lifting power unit is a cylinder. In manufacturing enterprises, high-pressure air sources are installed. Using a cylinder for adaptation reduces the layout cost of the production line and also helps maintain the production line environment.

[0029] An upper fixed mounting plate 201 and a lower fixed mounting plate 202 are provided on the remote mounting plate 20. Photoelectric sensors 203 are respectively provided on the upper fixed mounting plate and the lower fixed mounting plate. Photoelectric detection plates 204 are respectively provided on the two blocking mounting plates. The photoelectric detection plates and photoelectric sensors work together to detect the position of the blocking mounting plates. The photoelectric sensors and photoelectric detection plates are used to detect whether the lifting and lowering movement of the blocking plates is in place, which facilitates the process control of the conveying system.

[0030] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0031] This invention improves the battery blocking mechanism on the conveyor line. It utilizes the inclined surface of the mounting plate in conjunction with the guide rail and lifting slider. The outer end face of the blocking plate is also inclined, ensuring that the blocking plate is perpendicular to the horizontal plane after installation. During the upward movement of the blocking mounting plate along the guide rail driven by the lifting power unit, the inclined surface of the mounting plate causes the blocking plate to tend to move backward and upward, allowing it to quickly detach from the battery. This overcomes the problem of battery surface wear caused by the blocking plate in existing technologies, ensuring product quality and reducing the defect rate.

[0032] Based on the described embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
