Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery cell handling, and specifically to a battery cell handling mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Lithium-ion battery cells, as core energy storage components in the new energy field, have a wide range of applications, including but not limited to electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and consumer electronics. Currently, in the mass production of battery cells, cell handling mechanisms are typically used to precisely transfer cells between multiple processes, and are one of the core pieces of equipment connecting various key processes in battery manufacturing.

[0003] Existing battery cell handling mechanisms typically consist of a moving component and a gripper component. Positioning is achieved through the multi-directional movement of the moving component, while the gripper component uses pneumatic or electric drive to hold the battery cell and moves it to the next process under the movement of the moving component, enabling the handling mechanism to complete basic operations such as the translation and transfer of battery cells.

[0004] However, existing cell handling mechanisms still have the following significant drawbacks: After the electrode and separator are wound by the winding mechanism in the previous process to form a cell, the cell is transported into the handling area of ​​the handling mechanism. The cell handling mechanism then transfers the wound cell into the cell pressing area for the next pressing process. However, the lateral movement of existing handling mechanisms usually uses cylinders for two-point movement. When the pressing time of the cell needs to be increased, the cylinder transfer requires a long waiting time, making it difficult to select and handle one or two cells according to the needs, thus affecting production efficiency and the flexibility of production adjustment. At the same time, there is a lack of corresponding waste blocking function when the cell is received, which affects the use of the cell handling mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the above-mentioned defects and provide a battery cell handling mechanism to address the technical problem in the prior art that existing battery cell handling mechanisms are not easy to adjust and handle according to needs, thus affecting adjustment flexibility and production efficiency.

[0006] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following means:

[0007] A battery cell handling mechanism includes a longitudinal moving component and a lateral moving component. The lateral moving component is mounted on the longitudinal moving component, and a movable plate capable of reciprocating laterally is connected to the lateral moving component. The lateral moving component consists of a lateral sliding member, a lead screw module, and a driver. The lateral sliding member is mounted on the longitudinal moving component. The lead screw module is connected to a driver plate via a slide block. The driver plate is connected to the movable plate. The driver can drive the slide block to reciprocate along the lead screw module, causing the slide block to drive the movable plate to perform lateral movement adjustment via the driver plate. The movable plate is connected to a... A first driving component and a second driving component are respectively connected to multiple first and second material feeding components arranged alternately along the same horizontal line. A feeding area is formed between the first and second material feeding components. The first driving component and the second driving component can drive the first and second material feeding components to move closer or further apart. A material feeding driving component is connected to one end of the first driving component. A material feeding lever is connected to the driving end of the material feeding driving component. The material feeding driving component can drive the material feeding lever to perform telescopic movement. A material feeding area is formed between the second driving component at one end of the second driving component and the material feeding lever.

[0008] When a battery cell is placed in the feeding area, the feeding drive unit can drive the feeding lever to extend. Through the lead screw module, the moving plate moves laterally, allowing the feeding lever to move the battery cell to the next station. The feeding drive unit and the lead screw module reset the feeding lever. When battery cells are placed in both the feeding area and the feeding area adjacent to the feeding area, the longitudinal moving component can drive the lateral moving component to move the first feeding component, the second feeding component, and the feeding lever longitudinally. Through the lateral moving component, the first feeding component, the second feeding component, and the feeding lever move laterally, allowing the first feeding component, the second feeding component, and the feeding lever to move multiple battery cells simultaneously.

[0009] Further as described above, the longitudinal movement component includes a longitudinal sliding member, a connecting plate disposed on the longitudinal sliding member, and a longitudinal driving member. The longitudinal sliding member extends longitudinally, the connecting plate is mounted on the longitudinal sliding member and can move longitudinally along the longitudinal sliding member, and the telescopic end of the longitudinal driving member is connected to the connecting plate so that it can drive the connecting plate to move longitudinally back and forth along the longitudinal sliding member.

[0010] The telescopic end of the longitudinal drive component can drive the connecting plate to move longitudinally back and forth along the longitudinal sliding component. This allows the connecting plate to precisely adjust the overall structure above it in the longitudinal direction, enabling it to drive the first and second material feeding components to move closer to the battery cell. In conjunction with the lateral adjustment of the lateral moving component, the coordination of the handling mechanism in both longitudinal and lateral movements is improved, thus completing the clamping and handling of the battery cell. When the connecting plate drives the overall structure above it to reset, the first and second material feeding components move away from the battery cell to avoid it.

[0011] Furthermore, as described above, the lateral sliding member is mounted on the connecting plate and extends laterally. The lead screw module is connected to the connecting plate via a support plate, allowing the connecting plate to move longitudinally and, through the support plate, drive the lead screw module to move synchronously. The output end of the driver is connected to the input end of the lead screw module via a coupling, enabling the driver to drive the lead screw module to move the slide block laterally.

[0012] The lateral sliding component is mounted on the connecting plate of the longitudinal moving assembly. The lead screw module is connected to the connecting plate via a support plate, allowing the longitudinal movement of the longitudinal moving assembly to synchronously drive the longitudinal displacement of the lead screw module via the connecting plate. The driver drives the slide of the lead screw module to move laterally via a coupling, and the slide moves laterally through the drive plate to adjust the moving plate. Compared to the traditional two-point movement of a cylinder for lateral movement, the lead screw module can achieve precise control and continuous adjustment of lateral movement, avoiding the problem of long waiting times for cylinders, improving the adjustment accuracy and response speed of lateral movement, thereby increasing production efficiency.

[0013] Meanwhile, after the battery cell is wound and transferred into the unloading area, the unloading drive unit drives the unloading lever to push out. The lateral moving component can drive the moving plate to move the unloading lever laterally, so that the unloading lever moves and transports the battery cell in the unloading area to the next station.

[0014] Further as described above, the first driving component includes a first driving rod, a first telescopic device, and a plurality of first connecting seats. The moving plate is provided with moving parts distributed laterally. The first driving rod is mounted on the moving parts through the first connecting seats. The telescopic end of the first telescopic device is connected to the first driving rod. The first telescopic device can drive the first driving rod to reciprocate laterally.

[0015] The first telescopic device can drive the first drive rod to move laterally back and forth, thereby driving the first material feeding component to adjust its lateral position, so that the first material feeding component can independently control its lateral displacement. After cooperating with the second drive component, the distance between the first material feeding component and the second material feeding component can be adjusted, thereby clamping and transporting the battery cell and improving the flexibility of production adjustment.

[0016] Further as described above, the second driving member includes a second driving rod, a second telescopic device, and a plurality of second connecting seats. The second driving rod is mounted on the moving member through the second connecting seats. The telescopic end of the second telescopic device is connected to the second driving rod, so that the second telescopic device can drive the second driving rod to reciprocate laterally.

[0017] The second telescopic device can drive the second drive rod to move laterally back and forth, thereby driving the second material feeder to adjust its lateral position, so that the second material feeder can independently control its lateral displacement. After cooperating with the first drive member, the independent movement control of the first material feeder and the second material feeder can be realized, and the clamping and transportation of the battery cell can be completed in conjunction with the first material feeder.

[0018] Further as described above, the first material feeding component includes a first material feeding rod and a first connecting block. One end of the first material feeding rod is connected to the first connecting block, and the first connecting block is connected to the first connecting seat. The second material feeding component includes a second material feeding rod and a second connecting block. One end of the second material feeding rod is connected to the second connecting block, and the second connecting block is connected to the second connecting seat. The first material feeding rod and the second material feeding rod are alternately distributed in sequence, and the first material feeding rod and the second material feeding rod can move closer to or further away from each other in the direction driven by the first driving rod and the second driving rod.

[0019] The first and second feeding components are alternately distributed in sequence, and can move closer or further apart by the drive of the first and second drive rods. This creates multiple adjustable feeding zones between the first and second feeding rods. Furthermore, the alternating arrangement and independent movement of the first and second feeding components enhance the flexibility of the mechanism's adjustment.

[0020] Furthermore, as described above, the feeding drive component is connected to one end of the first drive rod via a mounting block, and the telescopic end of the feeding drive component is connected to one end of the feeding lever via an adjusting block, so that the feeding drive component can drive the feeding lever to extend and be driven laterally by the lateral movement component to feed the material.

[0021] The feeding drive unit is connected to the end of the first drive rod via a mounting block. Its telescopic end drives the feeding lever to extend and retract via an adjusting block. In conjunction with the lateral drive of the lateral movement component, the extension, retraction, and movement path of the feeding lever can be precisely controlled. This allows the feeding lever to extend when needed, accurately move the battery cell to the next station, and avoid interference during reset.

[0022] Meanwhile, the extension movement control of the feeding lever can effectively prevent waste material from entering the feeding area, realize the waste blocking function, and improve the reliability and stability of the mechanism.

[0023] Furthermore, as described above, there are multiple material feeding areas, and these areas are arranged in a linear array.

[0024] The material handling area is set up in multiple linear arrays, which can handle the handling needs of multiple battery cells at the same time.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Multiple first and second material feeding components are alternately arranged on the moving plate via first and second driving components, forming multiple feeding zones. Simultaneously, a feeding lever connected to a feeding drive component and a second material feeding component constitute a feeding zone. When battery cells are placed in both the feeding zone and adjacent feeding zones, the longitudinal moving component drives the lateral moving component to move longitudinally. Combined with the lateral movement of the lateral moving component, two battery cells can be simultaneously fed and transported, effectively improving production efficiency and the flexibility of production adjustment. The design of the feeding drive component driving the feeding lever to extend and retract allows for accurate feeding of battery cells from the feeding zone to the next adjacent workstation. Simultaneously, the extension and retraction of the feeding lever acts as a waste material block, preventing waste from entering the feeding zone and improving the reliability and stability of the battery cell handling mechanism. The lateral moving component adopts a structure combining a screw module and a driver, enabling more precise lateral movement control and improving the adjustment flexibility and production efficiency of lateral movement.

[0039] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0040] To make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the following describes the solution in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0041] It should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this scheme and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0042] In this embodiment, refer to Figures 1-7The specific implementation of the cell handling mechanism includes a longitudinal moving component 100 and a transverse moving component 200. The transverse moving component 200 is mounted on the longitudinal moving component 100, and a movable plate 1 that can reciprocate laterally is connected to the transverse moving component 200. The transverse moving component 200 consists of a transverse sliding member 201, a lead screw module 202, and a driver 203. The transverse sliding member 201 is mounted on the longitudinal moving component 100. The lead screw module 202 is connected to a driver plate 205 via a slide block 204. The driver plate 205 is connected to the movable plate 1. The driver 203 can drive the slide block 204 to reciprocate along the lead screw module 202, so that the slide block 204 drives the movable plate 1 to move laterally via the driver plate 205. In section, multiple first material feeding components 500 and second material feeding components 600, arranged alternately along the same horizontal line, are connected to the movable plate 1 via the first driving component 300 and the second driving component 400, respectively. A feeding area 700 is formed between the first material feeding component 500 and the second material feeding component 600. The first driving component 300 and the second driving component 400 can drive the first material feeding component 500 and the second material feeding component 600 to move closer or further apart, respectively. A feeding drive component 2 is connected to one end of the first driving component 300. A feeding lever 3 is connected to the driving end of the feeding drive component 2, and the feeding drive component 2 can drive the feeding lever 3 to perform telescopic movement. A feeding area 800 is formed between the second material feeding component 600 at one end of the second driving component 400 and the feeding lever 3.

[0043] When a battery cell is placed in the feeding area 800, the feeding drive 2 can drive the feeding lever 3 to extend. The screw module 202 drives the moving plate 1 to move laterally, so that the feeding lever 3 can move the battery cell to the next station. The feeding drive 2 and the screw module 202 reset the feeding lever 3. When both the feeding area 800 and the feeding area 700 adjacent to the feeding area 800 have battery cells, the longitudinal moving component 100 can drive the lateral moving component 200 to move the first feeding component 500, the second feeding component 600 and the feeding lever 3 longitudinally. The lateral moving component 200 moves laterally, so that the first feeding component 500, the second feeding component 600 and the feeding lever 3 can move multiple battery cells simultaneously.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The longitudinal moving component 100 includes a longitudinal sliding member 101, a connecting plate 102 disposed on the longitudinal sliding member 101, and a longitudinal driving member 103. The longitudinal sliding member 101 extends longitudinally, the connecting plate 102 is mounted on the longitudinal sliding member 101 and can move longitudinally along the longitudinal sliding member 101, and the telescopic end of the longitudinal driving member 103 is connected to the connecting plate 102, so that it can drive the connecting plate 102 to move longitudinally reciprocally along the longitudinal sliding member 101.

[0045] The telescopic end of the longitudinal drive member 103 can drive the connecting plate 102 to move longitudinally back and forth along the longitudinal sliding member 101. Thus, the connecting plate 102 can drive the overall structure above the connecting plate 102 to adjust its precise position in the longitudinal direction, so that it can drive the first material feeder 500 and the second material feeder 600 to move closer to the battery cell. In conjunction with the lateral adjustment of the lateral moving component 200, the coordination of the handling mechanism in the longitudinal and lateral movements is improved, so as to complete the clamping and handling of the battery cell. When the connecting plate 102 drives the overall structure above the connecting plate 102 to reset, the first material feeder 500 and the second material feeder 600 move away from the battery cell, so as to avoid it.

[0046] Optionally, in some embodiments, the longitudinal drive member 103 is composed of a drive cylinder or a multi-section telescopic rod, etc. Specifically, in this embodiment, the longitudinal drive member 103 is a drive cylinder, so that the telescopic end of the drive cylinder is connected to the connecting plate 102.

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, the longitudinal slider 101, the transverse slider 201, and the moving member 5 are all composed of sliders and guide rails.

[0048] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 The transverse sliding member 201 is mounted on the connecting plate 102 and extends laterally. The lead screw module 202 is connected to the connecting plate 102 through the support plate 4, so that the connecting plate 102 can move longitudinally and drive the lead screw module 202 to move synchronously through the support plate 4. The output end of the driver 203 is connected to the input end of the lead screw module 202 through a coupling, so that the driver 203 can drive the lead screw module 202 to drive the slide block 204 to move laterally.

[0049] The lateral sliding member 201 is mounted on the connecting plate 102 of the longitudinal moving assembly 100. The lead screw module 202 is connected to the connecting plate 102 via the support plate 4, so that the longitudinal movement of the longitudinal moving assembly 100 can synchronously drive the longitudinal displacement of the lead screw module 202 through the connecting plate 102. The driver 203 drives the slide 204 of the lead screw module 202 to move laterally via a coupling. The slide 204 drives the moving plate 1 to adjust laterally via the drive plate 205. Compared with the traditional two-point movement of the cylinder for lateral movement, the lead screw module 202 can achieve precise control and continuous adjustment of lateral movement, avoiding the problem of long waiting time for the cylinder, improving the adjustment accuracy and response speed of lateral movement, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0050] Meanwhile, after the battery cell is wound and transferred into the unloading area 800, the unloading drive 2 drives the unloading lever 3 to push out. The lateral moving component 200 can drive the moving plate 1 to move the unloading lever 3 laterally, so that the unloading lever 3 moves and transports the battery cell in the unloading area 800 to the next station.

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, the lead screw module 202 consists of a screw 2021, a nut 2022, and two bearing seats 2023. The two bearing seats 2023 are mounted on the support plate 4. Both ends of the screw 2021 are connected to the two bearing seats 2023, and one end of the screw 2021 passes through the bearing seat 2023 and is connected to the output end of the driver 203 via a coupling. In this embodiment, the driver 203 is configured to connect to a servo drive motor, which is mounted on the support plate 4 via a motor plate, and the output shaft of the servo drive motor is coaxial with the screw 2021.

[0052] Reference Figure 5 The first driving component 300 includes a first driving rod 301, a first telescopic device 302, and a plurality of first connecting seats 303. The moving plate 1 is provided with moving parts 5 distributed in a transverse direction. The first driving rod 301 is mounted on the moving parts 5 through the first connecting seats 303. The telescopic end of the first telescopic device 302 is connected to the first driving rod 301, so that the first telescopic device 302 can drive the first driving rod 301 to reciprocate in a transverse direction.

[0053] The first telescopic device 302 can drive the first drive rod 301 to move laterally back and forth, thereby driving the first material feeder 500 to adjust its lateral position, so that the first material feeder 500 can independently control its lateral displacement. After cooperating with the second drive member 400, the distance between the first material feeder 500 and the second material feeder 600 can be adjusted, thereby clamping and transporting the battery cell and improving the flexibility of production adjustment.

[0054] The first drive rod 301 has a connecting hole on its side, through which a bolt is inserted to connect with the first connecting seat 303. The first connecting seat 303 and the second connecting seat 403 each have multiple sets of mounting holes, through which the first connecting block 502 and the second connecting block 602 are paired and connected with the first connecting seat 303 and the second connecting seat 403 respectively via oblong holes. The oblong holes facilitate the adjustment of the installation of the connecting blocks and the connecting seats.

[0055] Reference Figure 5 The second driving member 400 includes a second driving rod 401, a second telescopic device 402, and a plurality of second connecting seats 403. The second driving rod 401 is mounted on the moving member 5 through the second connecting seats 403. The telescopic end of the second telescopic device 402 is connected to the second driving rod 401, so that the second telescopic device 402 can drive the second driving rod 401 to reciprocate laterally.

[0056] The second telescopic device 402 can drive the second drive rod 401 to move laterally back and forth, thereby driving the second material feeder 600 to adjust its lateral position, so that the second material feeder 600 can independently control its lateral displacement. After cooperating with the first drive member 300, the independent movement control of the first material feeder 500 and the second material feeder 600 can be realized, and the clamping and transportation of the battery cell can be completed with the first material feeder 500.

[0057] Specifically, in this embodiment, both the first telescopic device 302 and the second telescopic device 402 are composed of telescopic cylinders. In this embodiment, the first telescopic device 302 is initially in a retracted state, and the second telescopic device 402 is initially in an extended state. By extending the first telescopic device 302 and retracting the second telescopic device 402, the material-pulling rods on the first drive rod 301 and the second drive rod 401 can move closer to or further away from each other.

[0058] Reference Figure 5 The first feeding component 500 includes a first feeding rod 501 and a first connecting block 502. One end of the first feeding rod 501 is connected to the first connecting block 502, and the first connecting block 502 is connected to the first connecting seat 303. The second feeding component 600 includes a second feeding rod 601 and a second connecting block 602. One end of the second feeding rod 601 is connected to the second connecting block 602, and the second connecting block 602 is connected to the second connecting seat 403. The first feeding rod 501 and the second feeding rod 601 are alternately distributed in sequence, and the first feeding rod 501 and the second feeding rod 601 can move closer to or further away from each other in the driving direction of the first driving rod 301 and the second driving rod 401.

[0059] The first feeding component 500 and the second feeding component 600 are alternately distributed in sequence, and can move closer or further apart by the drive of the first drive rod 301 and the second drive rod 401. This creates multiple adjustable feeding zones 700 between the first feeding rod 501 and the second feeding rod 601. At the same time, the alternating arrangement and independent movement capability of the first and second feeding components 600 enhance the flexibility of the mechanism's adjustment.

[0060] Reference Figures 1-5 The feeding drive 2 is connected to one end of the first drive rod 301 via the mounting block 6. The telescopic end of the feeding drive 2 is connected to one end of the feeding lever 3 via the adjusting block 7, so that the feeding drive 2 can drive the feeding lever 3 to extend and be pushed out by the lateral drive of the lateral moving component 200.

[0061] The feeding drive component 2 is connected to the end of the first drive rod 301 via the mounting block 6. Its telescopic end drives the feeding lever 3 to extend and retract via the adjusting block 7. In conjunction with the lateral drive of the lateral movement component 200, the extension, retraction, and movement path of the feeding lever 3 can be precisely controlled. This allows the feeding lever 3 to extend when needed, accurately move the battery cell to the next working position, and avoid interference during reset.

[0062] Meanwhile, the extension movement control of the feeding lever 3 can effectively prevent waste material from entering the feeding area 800, realize the waste material blocking function, and improve the reliability and stability of the mechanism.

[0063] Optionally, in some embodiments, the unloading drive 2 is composed of a drive cylinder or a multi-section telescopic rod. Specifically, in this embodiment, the unloading drive 2 is a drive cylinder with a guide frame.

[0064] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The material handling area 700 is provided in multiple ways and is arranged in a linear array. The multiple material handling areas 700 arranged in a linear array can simultaneously handle the handling needs of multiple battery cells.

[0065] Specifically, in this embodiment, there is one feeding area 800 and five feeding areas 700, so that the feeding area 800 and the feeding area 700 are arranged in a linear array.

[0066] The specific usage process in this embodiment is as follows:

[0067] Step 1: Refer to Figure 6 The cell transport mechanism is set in the next process after the cell winding mechanism. The opening end of the unloading area 800 and the receiving area of ​​the cell transport mechanism extends towards the worktable 8. When the cell winding mechanism completes the winding of the electrode sheet and the diaphragm to form a cell and is transported along the worktable 8 into the unloading area 800, the unloading drive 2 drives the unloading stop bar to move towards the worktable 8. At this time, the unloading stop bar is in the extended state. The drive 203 drives the lead screw module 202 to rotate, so that the slide 204 can drive the moving plate 1 to move laterally through the drive plate 205. Thus, the moving plate 1 can drive the unloading baffle to move laterally. The extended unloading stop bar moves the cell in the unloading area 800 into the unloading area 700 adjacent to the unloading area 800.

[0068] Step 2: The feeding stop bar can be retracted and reset by the feeding drive 2. At this time, the drive control of the driver 203 causes the moving plate 1 to move laterally and reset. At the same time, the winding mechanism completes the winding of the next cell and conveys it into the feeding area 800.

[0069] Step 3: Refer to Figure 7After the material feeding area 800 and the material feeding area 700 adjacent to the material feeding area 800 are equipped with battery cells, the longitudinal drive component 103 drives the connecting plate 102 to move the entire structure on the connecting plate 102 toward the worktable 8.

[0070] Step 4: Clamping the battery cell. The first telescopic device 302 pushes out the first drive rod 301, which drives the first feeding rod 501 to move closer to the second feeding rod 601. At the same time, the first drive rod 301 can drive the feeding rod 3 to move synchronously through the mounting block 6. The second telescopic device 402 retracts, which drives the second drive rod 401 to move the second feeding rod 601 closer to the first feeding rod 501. The second feeding rod 601, which is installed on the second drive rod 401 near the end of the feeding rod 3, moves to the feeding rod 3 so that it can clamp the battery cell in the feeding area 800 and the feeding area 700 adjacent to the feeding area 800.

[0071] Step 5: Transportation. The actuator 203 drives the lead screw module 202 to move the entire moving structure laterally. For details, refer to... Figure 7 Move to the right so that the two cells can be clamped and transported into the pressing process at the same time. The pressing process is set up with two pressing stations to press the cells together.

[0072] Therefore, steps four and five are reset, and steps one through five are repeated to achieve more precise lateral movement control. Specifically, one battery cell can be moved at a time through the unloading area 800, and when both the unloading area 800 and the adjacent material feeding area 700 have battery cells, two battery cells can be synchronously transported into the pressing process. That is, when the unloading area 800 enters the adjacent material feeding area 700, the battery cell moves one station at a time, and when both the unloading area 800 and the adjacent material feeding area 700 have battery cells, the battery cell can move two stations at a time, improving the adjustment flexibility and production efficiency of lateral movement.
