Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveyor track technology, specifically a battery assembly conveyor track. Background Technology

[0002] Batteries are heavy components, and their movement and direction of transport are inevitably involved in the production process. Existing technologies typically use push rods for the redirection and transport of general materials. Chinese Patent CN210763099U discloses a battery transport platform, including a frame with a panel mounted on it. The frame houses horizontally placed and perpendicularly positioned X-axis and Y-axis transport sections. The discharge end of the X-axis transport section is close to the inlet end of the Y-axis transport section. The frame is equipped with auxiliary transport components to assist in transferring batteries from the X-axis to the Y-axis transport section. This product uses multiple assistive components to change the transport direction of batteries during processing, improving the overall system efficiency. It has a simple structure and is easy to use.

[0003] Currently, existing tracks can only perform a single function of lifting and conveying battery components. Furthermore, the protective structure of the side plates is fixed in a designated position. If a battery component is too large, the track cannot be adapted to it, resulting in certain limitations in its use. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the lack of adjustable functionality in existing conveyor tracks, this invention provides a battery assembly conveyor track.

[0005] In view of the above problems, the technical solution proposed by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A battery assembly conveying track includes a conveying platform. Two width-adjusting mechanisms are respectively provided on both sides of the top surface of the conveying platform. Clamping mechanisms are respectively provided on adjacent sides of the two width-adjusting mechanisms. Side rollers are rotatably connected to the inner side of each of the two clamping mechanisms. The outer walls of the side rollers extend to the outside of the clamping mechanisms. A perforated groove is provided on the conveying platform between the two sets of side rollers. A support roller is rotatably connected inside the perforated groove. Each width-adjusting mechanism includes a fixed plate. A cylinder is mounted on one side of the fixed plate. The output end of the cylinder passes through the fixed plate and is connected to a push plate. Bolts are inserted at the four corners of the push plate. The push plate is connected to one side of the clamping mechanism via bolts.

[0007] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism includes a housing, inside which a worm and a worm wheel are rotatably connected. The worm and the worm wheel mesh with each other, and the bottom end of the worm wheel is connected to the top end of the side roller.

[0008] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the meshing transmission of the worm and worm wheel can accurately control the speed and direction of the side rollers, so that the two side rollers drive the battery forward synchronously and avoid the battery tilting due to speed difference.

[0009] Furthermore, a groove is formed on one side of the outer shell, and a hole is formed at the bottom of the inner part of the groove. The interior of the hole is rotatably connected to the bottom of the side roller.

[0010] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are that the groove provides installation space for the side roller, the hole supports the bottom end of the side roller, ensures high coaxiality when the side roller rotates, and reduces vibration and wear.

[0011] Furthermore, the side roller includes a roller body, and the outer wall of the roller body is fitted with an anti-slip sleeve.

[0012] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are that the anti-slip sleeve increases the friction with the battery casing, preventing the battery from slipping during transport and ensuring its uniform forward movement, which is especially suitable for batteries with smooth surfaces. The anti-slip sleeve is made of soft material, which can avoid hard contact that could scratch the battery casing and protect the integrity of the product's appearance. At the same time, the elastic material can buffer the clamping force and prevent excessive compression from damaging the battery.

[0013] Furthermore, limit rods are inserted through both sides of the fixing plate, and one end of each of the two limit rods is connected to both sides of the push plate.

[0014] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the limiting rod provides guidance for the lateral movement of the push plate, prevents the push plate from deviating when the width adjustment mechanism is pushed by the cylinder, ensures that the clamping mechanisms on both sides move synchronously and symmetrically, and ensures accurate adjustment of the side roller spacing.

[0015] Furthermore, a motor is mounted on the outer wall of the clamping mechanism, and the output end of the motor is connected to one end of the worm gear.

[0016] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the motor provides power to the worm gear, drives the side roller to rotate through the worm wheel, the motor speed is controllable, the battery transmission speed can be adjusted according to the assembly rhythm, and it can adapt to the processing requirements of different processes.

[0017] Furthermore, the idler roller includes a roller shaft, with bearings fitted at both ends of the roller shaft, and the roller shaft is rotatably connected inside the hollow groove through the bearings.

[0018] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are that the bearing reduces the frictional resistance between the roller shaft and the hollow groove, making the idler roller rotate smoothly and reducing the wear on the bottom of the battery. At the same time, the bearing support ensures the coaxiality of the roller shaft and avoids the battery tilting due to the skewness of the idler roller.

[0019] Furthermore, a base plate is fitted onto the bottom surface of the conveyor.

[0020] The advantage of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the bottom of the conveyor table can be disassembled through the connection of the base plate, which makes it easier to assemble the roller into the interior of the hollow groove.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0022] This type of battery assembly conveyor track, through the combined use of a width adjustment mechanism, a clamping mechanism, side rollers, perforated grooves, and idler rollers, enables the conveyor track to have a width adjustment function, thus making it suitable for batteries of different sizes. The width adjustment mechanism can push a push plate through a cylinder, causing the clamping mechanism to move laterally, thereby adjusting the distance between the two side rollers to adapt to batteries of different sizes and enhance the track's versatility. The clamping mechanism works with the side rollers to clamp the battery from both sides to prevent it from shifting. The idler rollers support the bottom of the battery through the perforated grooves, forming a three-dimensional limit with the side rollers to ensure that the battery moves smoothly during the conveying process.

[0038] As an embodiment of this utility model, the bottom surface of the conveyor 1 is further fitted with a base plate 8. Through the connection of the base plate 8, the bottom of the conveyor 1 can be disassembled, thereby facilitating the assembly of the roller 7 into the hollow groove 6.

[0039] Specifically, the working principle of this battery assembly conveyor track is as follows: During use, based on the battery size, the cylinder 204 of the width adjustment mechanism 2 pushes the push plate 203.

The groove 302 in the housing 301 provides installation space for the side rollers 4, and the hole 303 supports the bottom of the side rollers to ensure their coaxial rotation. The bottom plate 8 on the bottom surface of the conveyor 1 facilitates the assembly of the roller 7 into the hollow groove 6. The bearing 702 of the roller reduces rotational friction and reduces wear on the bottom of the battery, thereby achieving stable transmission of the battery on the track and meeting assembly requirements.
