Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lithium battery transfer technology, specifically a soft-pack lithium battery PACK transfer device. Background Technology

[0002] PACK transfer equipment for soft-pack lithium batteries is an automated or semi-automated logistics equipment specifically designed for transferring soft-pack lithium-ion battery modules (PACKs) between different workstations in the production process. Its core function is to achieve safe, efficient, and damage-free handling of battery modules during assembly, testing, aging, and capacity testing through precise mechanical control and an intelligent scheduling system. It also features real-time monitoring of battery module status and anomaly protection capabilities, adapting to the flexible production needs of soft-pack batteries of different specifications, effectively reducing the risks of manual operation and improving overall production line efficiency.

[0003] Existing lithium battery transfer equipment generally suffers from operational inconvenience when removing lithium batteries. This is mainly due to the inflexible design of the clamping or positioning structure between the equipment and the battery, making it difficult to adapt to lithium batteries of different sizes. This results in repeated adjustments or the use of additional tools during removal. Some equipment lacks intelligent sensing or automatic release mechanisms, requiring manual unlocking or forced pulling, which not only increases the operation time but also easily leads to quality hazards such as scratches on the battery casing and deformation of the battery cells due to uneven force or friction.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a pouch lithium battery pack transfer device. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a soft-pack lithium battery PACK transfer device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a soft-pack lithium battery PACK transfer device, comprising:

[0007] A transfer box, the top of which is fitted with a cover plate, and the interior of which is fixedly connected with partitions at equal intervals;

[0008] A lifting mechanism is installed inside the transfer box. The lifting mechanism includes a threaded rod. The threaded rod is rotatably installed inside the transfer box. A second sliding groove is symmetrically opened on the inner wall of the transfer box. A second sliding block is slidably installed inside the second sliding groove.

[0009] The dust removal mechanism includes a drive gear, which is rotatably mounted on one side of the transfer box and is fixedly connected to a threaded rod inside the drive gear. A driven gear is rotatably mounted on one side of the transfer box and is meshed with the drive gear on the outside.

[0010] Preferably, a series of fixed columns are equidistantly fixed to the inner wall of one side of the transfer box. A first clamping plate is fixedly connected to the front end of each fixed column. A sliding column is slidably installed inside the other end of the transfer box. A second clamping plate is fixedly connected to the front end of each sliding column. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the other end of each sliding column. A first motor bracket is fixedly connected to the outside of the transfer box. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the front end of the center of the connecting plate. A push rod motor is installed on the back of the first motor bracket, and the output end of the push rod motor is fixedly connected to the connecting rod. The push rod motor is fixed to the outside of the transfer box through the first motor bracket. Its output end drives the connecting rod and the connecting plate to move, causing the sliding column to slide inside the transfer box. This allows the second clamping plate to move closer to the first clamping plate, thus cooperating with the first clamping plate supported by the fixed columns to stably clamp the lithium battery.

[0011] Preferably, anti-slip pads are installed at the front ends of both the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate.

[0012] Preferably, the inner wall of the transfer box is symmetrically provided with first sliding grooves, and first sliding blocks are slidably installed inside the first sliding grooves. A placement plate is fixedly connected between the two first sliding blocks.

[0013] Preferably, the lifting mechanism further includes a movable plate, which is fixedly connected between the two second sliding blocks. A boss is fixedly connected to the top of the movable plate, and a second motor bracket is fixedly connected to one side of the transfer box. A rotary motor is mounted on the front end of the second motor bracket, and the output end of the rotary motor is fixedly connected to a threaded rod. The rotary motor on the second motor bracket drives the threaded rod to rotate, causing the movable plate, which cooperates with the threaded rod, to slide and rise in the second sliding groove via the second sliding blocks. The boss on the top of the movable plate lifts the placement plate, which then rises smoothly in the first sliding groove via the first sliding blocks, raising the lithium battery by a certain distance.

[0014] Preferably, the dust removal mechanism further includes a connecting block. The connecting block is fixedly connected to the front end of the driven gear. A support rod is rotatably mounted on the outside of the connecting block, and a scraper is rotatably mounted on the other end of the support rod. A guide rail is symmetrically fixedly connected to one side of the transfer box, and the two ends of the scraper are slidably connected inside the guide rail. When the threaded rod rotates, it drives the driving gear to rotate, and the driven gear meshing with the driving gear rotates accordingly. The connecting block at the front end of the driven gear drives the support rod to move, causing the scraper to slide back and forth in the guide rail, cleaning the dust on the outside of the transfer box and at the ventilation opening, preventing dust accumulation and blockage of the ventilation path.

[0015] Preferably, both the transfer box and the partition have ventilation openings inside.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The cooperation of the threaded rod, the second sliding groove, the second sliding block, the movable plate, the boss, the second motor bracket, and the rotating motor allows the lithium battery to be raised by one section when removed from the transfer equipment, improving operational convenience and safety. By increasing the gap between the bottom of the battery and the equipment support surface, operators can easily grasp the battery without excessive bending or using auxiliary tools, significantly reducing labor intensity. The raised space provides sufficient leverage points for fingers or mechanical clamps, preventing wear on the battery casing, deformation of the electrode tabs, or displacement of internal cells caused by forced pulling. The cooperation of the drive gear, connecting block, support rod, scraper, guide rail, and ventilation opening effectively prevents dust accumulation from blocking the ventilation path, ensuring smooth airflow inside the equipment, maintaining efficient operation of the heat dissipation system, preventing lithium battery performance degradation or damage to electronic components due to overheating, and reducing dust adhesion reduces the risk of static electricity buildup, avoiding safety hazards such as short circuits and fires caused by static electricity.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 A pouch lithium battery pack transfer device, comprising:

[0024] The transfer box 1 has a cover plate 2 installed on its top, and partitions 3 are fixedly connected at equal intervals inside the transfer box 1.

[0025] The lifting mechanism is installed inside the transfer box 1. The lifting mechanism includes a threaded rod 15. The threaded rod 15 is rotatably installed inside the transfer box 1. The inner wall of the transfer box 1 is symmetrically provided with a second sliding groove 16. A second sliding block 17 is slidably installed inside the second sliding groove 16.

[0026] The dust removal mechanism is installed on the outside of the transfer box 1. The dust removal mechanism includes a drive gear 22. The drive gear 22 is rotatably installed on one side of the transfer box 1, and the drive gear 22 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 15 inside. The driven gear 23 is rotatably installed on one side of the transfer box 1, and the drive gear 22 is meshed with the driven gear 23 on the outside.

[0027] Please see Figure 3 One side of the transfer box 1 has fixed posts 4 fixedly connected at equal intervals on one inner wall. A first clamping plate 5 is fixedly connected to the front end of each fixed post 4. A sliding post 6 is slidably installed inside the other end of the transfer box 1. A second clamping plate 7 is fixedly connected to the front end of each sliding post 6. A connecting plate 8 is fixedly connected to the other end of each sliding post 6. A first motor bracket 9 is fixedly connected to the outside of the transfer box 1. A connecting rod 10 is fixedly connected to the front end of the center of the connecting plate 8. A push rod motor 11 is mounted on the back of the first motor bracket 9, and the output end of the push rod motor 11 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 10. The push rod motor 11 is fixed to the outside of the transfer box 1 via the first motor bracket 9. Its output end drives the connecting rod 10 and the connecting plate 8 to move, causing the sliding post 6 to slide inside the transfer box 1. This allows the second clamping plate 7 to move closer to the first clamping plate 5, working in conjunction with the first clamping plate 5 supported by the fixed posts 4 to stably clamp the lithium battery.

[0028] Please see Figure 3 Anti-slip pads are installed at the front ends of both the first clamping plate 5 and the second clamping plate 7.

[0029] Please see Figure 4 The inner wall of the transfer box 1 is symmetrically provided with first sliding grooves 12, and first sliding blocks 13 are slidably installed inside the first sliding grooves 12. A placement plate 14 is fixedly connected between the two first sliding blocks 13.

[0030] Please see Figure 4The lifting mechanism also includes a movable plate 18, which is fixedly connected between the two second sliding blocks 17. A boss 19 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable plate 18. A second motor bracket 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the transfer box 1. A rotary motor 21 is installed at the front end of the second motor bracket 20, and the output end of the rotary motor 21 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 15. The rotary motor 21 on the second motor bracket 20 drives the threaded rod 15 to rotate, so that the movable plate 18, which cooperates with the threaded rod 15, slides and rises in the second sliding groove 16 through the second sliding blocks 17. The boss 19 on the top of the movable plate 18 lifts the placement plate 14, and the placement plate 14 rises smoothly in the first sliding groove 12 through the first sliding block 13, raising the lithium battery by a certain distance.

[0031] Please see Figure 4 The dust removal mechanism also includes a connecting block 24. The front end of the driven gear 23 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 24. A support rod 25 is rotatably mounted on the outside of the connecting block 24. A scraper 26 is rotatably mounted on the other end of the support rod 25. A guide rail 27 is symmetrically fixedly connected to one side of the transfer box 1, and the two ends of the scraper 26 are slidably connected inside the guide rail 27. When the threaded rod 15 rotates, it drives the driving gear 22 to rotate. The driven gear 23, which meshes with the driving gear 22, rotates accordingly. The connecting block 24 at the front end of the driven gear 23 drives the support rod 25 to move, causing the scraper 26 to slide back and forth inside the guide rail 27, cleaning the dust on the outside of the transfer box 1 and at the ventilation opening 28, preventing dust accumulation and blockage of the ventilation path.

[0032] Please see Figure 4 Both the transfer box 1 and the partition 3 have ventilation openings 28 inside.

[0033] Working principle: First, the partition 3 inside the transfer box 1 divides the space into multiple independent areas, facilitating the classified placement of lithium batteries. The top cover 2 protects the internal batteries from external interference. When placing lithium batteries, the push rod motor 11 is fixed to the outside of the transfer box 1 via the first motor bracket 9. Its output end drives the connecting rod 10 and the connecting plate 8 to move, causing the sliding column 6 to slide inside the transfer box 1. This allows the second clamping plate 7 to move closer to the first clamping plate 5. Together with the first clamping plate 5 supported by the fixed column 4, the lithium battery is stably clamped. The anti-slip pads at the front ends of the first and second clamping plates enhance friction and prevent battery slippage. This design also accommodates the clamping requirements of batteries of different specifications.

[0034] When the lithium battery needs to be removed, the lifting mechanism starts working. The rotating motor 21 on the second motor bracket 20 drives the threaded rod 15 to rotate, so that the movable plate 18, which cooperates with the threaded rod 15, slides and rises in the second sliding groove 16 through the second sliding block 17. The boss 19 on the top of the movable plate 18 lifts the placement plate 14, and the placement plate 14 rises smoothly in the first sliding groove 12 through the first sliding block 13, raising the lithium battery by a certain distance, increasing the gap between the bottom of the battery and the support surface, making it easier for operators or mechanical clamps to grasp, and avoiding damage to the battery caused by forced pulling.

[0035] During equipment operation, the dust removal mechanism functions simultaneously. When the threaded rod 15 rotates, it drives the drive gear 22 to rotate, and the driven gear 23, meshing with the drive gear 22, rotates accordingly. The connecting block 24 at the front end of the driven gear 23 drives the support rod 25 to move, causing the scraper 26 to slide back and forth within the guide rail 27. This cleans the dust from the outside of the transfer box 1 and the ventilation openings 28, preventing dust accumulation from blocking the ventilation path, ensuring airflow inside the transfer box 1, maintaining efficient operation of the heat dissipation system, and reducing static electricity buildup and the resulting safety hazards. Throughout the process, the ventilation openings 28 on the transfer box 1 and the partition 3 further promote air circulation, ensuring the lithium battery is in a suitable environment during transfer. The cooperation of these mechanisms significantly improves the convenience, safety, and efficiency of the transfer process.
