[0032] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the features in the following embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0033] Please refer to the reference. Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a battery production line (not shown) for producing solar cells. It can quickly adjust the spacing between two adjacent drive belts to transport solar cells of different sizes, offering good versatility and high economic benefits.

[0034] It should be noted that the battery production line includes a first processing mechanism (not shown), a belt drive mechanism 100, and a second processing mechanism (not shown). The belt drive mechanism 100 is located between the first and second processing mechanisms. The first processing mechanism is used for preliminary processing of the battery cells, and the belt drive mechanism 100 is used to transport the pre-processed battery cells to the second processing mechanism for secondary processing.

[0035] The belt drive mechanism 100 includes a base plate 110, a first belt drive assembly 120, and a second belt drive assembly 130. The first belt drive assembly 120 and the second belt drive assembly 130 are arranged parallel to each other along a first direction and are both mounted on the base plate 110. The conveying direction of the first belt drive assembly 120 is the same as that of the second belt drive assembly 130. The first belt drive assembly 120 and the second belt drive assembly 130 work synchronously to stably drive the battery cells forward.

[0036] Further, the first belt drive assembly 120 includes a first drive belt 121, two first pulley seats 122, and two first fasteners 123. The two first pulley seats 122 are disposed opposite each other at both ends of the base plate 110 along a second direction, and the first drive belt 121 is connected between the two first pulley seats 122, that is, the first drive belt 121 extends along the second direction, and the conveying direction of the first belt drive assembly 120 is the second direction. Specifically, both first pulley seats 122 are slidably engaged with the base plate 110 along a first direction, and each first fastener 123 is used to fix the relative position of one first pulley seat 122 and the base plate 110, the first direction being perpendicular to the second direction. The first pulley seat 122 can slide relative to the substrate 110 along the first direction to adjust the relative position of the first pulley seat 122 and the second belt drive assembly 130, thereby adjusting the distance between the first drive belt 121 and the second belt drive assembly 130 in the first direction, so that the first belt drive assembly 120 and the second belt drive assembly 130 can transport battery cells of different specifications and sizes, with good versatility and high economic benefits.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first fastener 123 is a screw. The first pulley seat 122 has a first through hole 1221, and the base plate 110 has a plurality of first threaded holes 111 spaced apart along the first direction. The first through hole 1221 is selectively aligned with one of the first threaded holes 111. The first threaded hole 111 is used to cooperate with the screw passing through the first through hole 1221 to fix the relative position of the first pulley seat 122 and the base plate 110, prevent the first pulley seat 122 from continuing to slide relative to the base plate 110, and ensure the stability during the belt drive process.

[0038] The first pulley seat 122 includes a base 1222 and a pulley 1223. The pulley 1223 is rotatably mounted on the base 1222 and engages with the first transmission belt 121. The two first pulley seats 122 together include two pulleys 1223. One end of the first transmission belt 121 is sleeved on one pulley 1223, and the other end is sleeved on the other pulley 1223, to achieve synchronous rotation of the two pulleys 1223. The base 1222 is slidably engaged with the base plate 110. A first through hole 1221 is formed in the base 1222. A first fastener 123 can fix the relative position of the base 1222 and the base plate 110, thereby fixing the relative position of the pulley 1223 and the base plate 110. Specifically, of the two pulleys 1223, one pulley 1223 is the driving pulley (connected to the drive motor), and the other pulley 1223 is the driven pulley. The driving pulley can drive the driven pulley to rotate through the transmission belt, and the transmission belt can drive the battery cells forward during the movement.

[0039] Furthermore, the base 1222 includes a mounting block 1224 and a slider 1225 connected to each other. A pulley 1223 is rotatably connected to the mounting block 1224, and the pulley 1223 can rotate relative to the mounting block 1224. The mounting block 1224 can limit the movement of the pulley 1223. A first through hole 1221 is formed in the mounting block 1224, and a first fastener 123 can fix the relative position of the mounting block 1224 and the base plate 110. The base plate 110 has a sliding groove 112 extending along a first direction. The slider 1225 slides in conjunction with the sliding groove 112, and the slider 1225 can slide relative to the sliding groove 112. The sliding groove 112 can guide and limit the movement of the slider 1225.

[0040] Preferably, there are two first through holes 1221, and the slider 1225 is disposed in the middle of the mounting block 1224 and located between the two first through holes 1221. Multiple first threaded holes 111 are divided into two groups, with the two groups of first threaded holes 111 spaced apart along a third direction. The third direction, the first direction, and the second direction are perpendicular to each other. Multiple first threaded holes 111 in each group are spaced apart along the first direction, and each first through hole 1221 is selectively aligned with one first threaded hole 111 in each group. Specifically, there are two screws in the first fastener 123. Each screw passes through one first through hole 1221 and engages with one first threaded hole 111. The two screws work together to improve the connection strength between the mounting block 1224 and the substrate 110, preventing the mounting block 1224 from moving relative to the substrate 110.

[0041] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the slider 1225 is trapezoidal, and the shape of the groove 112 matches the shape of the slider 1225. Specifically, the slider 1225 has a large end 1226 and a small end 1227 opposite to each other. The small end 1227 is connected to the mounting block 1224, and the large end 1226 slides in contact with the bottom wall of the groove 112. By using the trapezoidal slider 1225, the stability of the sliding contact between the slider 1225 and the groove 112 can be improved, preventing the slider 1225 from coming off along the depth direction of the groove 112, thus ensuring stability and reliability.

[0042] The second belt drive assembly 130 includes a second drive belt 131 and two second pulley seats 132. The two second pulley seats 132 are disposed opposite each other at both ends of the base plate 110 along a second direction, and the second drive belt 131 is connected between the two second pulley seats 132, that is, the second drive belt 131 extends along the second direction, and the conveying direction of the second belt drive assembly 130 is the second direction.

[0043] In this embodiment, the second pulley seat 132 is fixedly connected to the base plate 110, that is, the relative position of the second pulley seat 132 and the base plate 110 is not adjustable. At this time, the distance between the first transmission belt 121 and the second transmission belt 131 can only be adjusted by adjusting the relative position of the first pulley seat 122 and the base plate 110. However, this is not the only option. In other embodiments, the second belt drive assembly 130 also includes two second fasteners (not shown). Both second pulley seats 132 are slidably engaged with the base plate 110 along the first direction. Each second fastener is used to fix the relative position of one second pulley seat 132 to the base plate 110. The second pulley seat 132 can slide relative to the base plate 110 along the first direction to adjust the distance between the first drive belt 121 and the second drive belt 131. At this time, the distance between the first drive belt 121 and the second drive belt 131 can be adjusted by adjusting the relative position of the first pulley seat 122 to the base plate 110, and the distance between the first drive belt 121 and the second drive belt 131 can also be adjusted by adjusting the relative position of the second pulley seat 132 to the base plate 110.

[0044] Preferably, the belt drive mechanism 100 further includes an extension plate 140. The extension plate 140 is detachably connected to the base plate 110 (by screws, snap-fit, or adhesive, etc.) and is arranged side by side with the base plate 110 along a first direction. The first pulley seat 122 is slidably engaged with the extension plate 140 along the first direction. The first fastener 123 is used to fix the relative position of the first pulley seat 122 with the base plate 110 or the extension plate 140, that is, the first pulley seat 122 can slide from the base plate 110 onto the extension plate 140 to increase the adjustable range of the distance between the first drive belt 121 and the second drive belt 131, and further improve versatility.

[0045] In this embodiment, the way in which the first fastener 123 fixes the relative position of the first pulley seat 122 and the base plate 110 is the same as the way in which the first fastener 123 fixes the relative position of the first pulley seat 122 and the extension plate 140, and will not be described again here.

[0046] The belt drive mechanism 100 provided in this embodiment of the present invention comprises a first belt drive assembly 120 and a second belt drive assembly 130 arranged parallel to each other along a first direction and both mounted on a substrate 110. The first belt drive assembly 120 includes a first drive belt 121, two first pulley seats 122, and two first fasteners 123. The two first pulley seats 122 are arranged opposite each other at both ends of the substrate 110 along a second direction. The first drive belt 121 connects between the two first pulley seats 122. Both first pulley seats 122 are slidably engaged with the substrate 110 along the first direction. Each first fastener 123 is used to fix the relative position of one first pulley seat 122 to the substrate 110. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. Compared with the prior art, the belt drive mechanism 100 provided by the present invention, due to the use of first pulley seats 122 that slidably engage with the substrate 110 and first fasteners 123 for fixing the first pulley seats 122, can quickly adjust the spacing between two adjacent drive belts to transport battery cells of different sizes, exhibiting good versatility and high economic efficiency. This makes the battery production line suitable for producing battery cells of different specifications and sizes, which is convenient and practical.

[0047] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art.
