Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage battery processing, and in particular to a shunt chain plate line for storage battery processing. Background Technology

[0002] As is well known, in the battery production process, a conveyor belt needs to transport multiple batteries from the cladding and sizing machine into the brush cutter. The existing production layout places multiple cladding and sizing machines at intervals and symmetrically on both sides of the conveyor belt. As a result, the batteries coming out of the multiple cladding and sizing machines are randomly distributed on the conveyor belt, which not only easily causes them to crowd together and block the production line, but also, since the brush cutter only has two inlets, it is necessary to manually arrange the multiple batteries into two rows at the end of the conveyor belt closest to the brush cutter so that they can enter the brush cutter smoothly. The above operation is not only labor-intensive, but also has low work efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model discloses a shunt chain plate line for battery processing.

[0004] To achieve the aforementioned objective, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A shunt chain conveyor for battery processing includes a chain conveyor body. A shunt station, a merging station, a holding station, and an outlet station are sequentially spaced between the inlet end and the outlet end of the chain conveyor body. A plate wrapping and grooving machine is symmetrically provided at the inlet of the chain conveyor body and on both sides of the merging station. The outlet of the plate wrapping and grooving machine is respectively set to correspond to the inlet of the chain conveyor body and the inlets on both sides of the merging station.

[0006] The diversion station includes a fixed frame A, a fixed frame B, a partition A, and a partition B. Partitions A and B are arranged along the length of the chain conveyor body and fixed to the upper middle part of the chain conveyor body, dividing the chain conveyor body into two channels on both sides. There is a gap between partitions A and B, which is the diversion channel between the two channels. Fixed frames A and B are fixed at intervals on the upper part of both sides of the chain conveyor body. Cylinders B and A are fixed on fixed frames A and B by "Z"-shaped fixed frames. The extension sections of cylinders B and A are set with corresponding gaps. There are baffles A on both channels, which narrow the two channels.

[0007] The aforementioned shunt chain conveyor for battery processing has a baffle A consisting of a straight section and an inclined section. The front end of the inclined section is located on the side wall of the inlet end of the chain conveyor body. The straight section is parallel to and spaced apart from the baffle B. Fixing rods are fixed on both the straight section and the inclined section. The outer ends of the fixing rods are fixedly connected to the vertical supports on the outer side walls of both sides of the chain conveyor body.

[0008] The aforementioned battery processing shunt chain plate line has a fixed frame A and a fixed frame B both set in an "n" shape. Photoelectric sensor A and photoelectric sensor B are respectively fixed on the upper part of the fixed frame A and the fixed frame B. Photoelectric sensor A and photoelectric sensor B correspond to the left and right channels at the shunt station, respectively.

[0009] The aforementioned shunt chain plate line for battery processing has one or two combined workstations. When one is set, it is located between the shunt workstation and the holding workstation. When two are set, they are respectively set at intervals on both sides of the holding workstation.

[0010] The aforementioned battery processing shunt chain conveyor includes a merging station comprising a fixed frame C, a fixed frame D, a cylinder C, and a stop bar B. The fixed frames C and D are fixed at intervals on the upper sides of the chain conveyor body. On both sides of the fixed frame D, cylinders C and D are respectively fixed by "Z"-shaped fixed frames. A stop bar B is fixed to the right side of each cylinder C and cylinder D. The stop bar B narrows the two channels on both sides of the partition A. A separator is provided in each of the two channels to divide the two channels into channel one and channel two, respectively. The left end of the separator is located to the right of cylinder C, and the length of the right end is less than the length of the stop bar B.

[0011] The aforementioned battery processing shunt chain plate line has two integrally formed straight and inclined sections, with the right end of the inclined section located at the outlet of the plate-filling and grooving machine on both sides of the merging station. The straight section is parallel to and spaced apart from the partition A. Fixed rods are fixed on both the straight and inclined sections, and the outer ends of the fixed rods are fixedly connected to the vertical brackets on the outside of the side wall of the chain plate line body.

[0012] The aforementioned shunt chain plate line for battery processing has fixed frames C and D both set in an "n" shape. Photoelectric sensors C and D are provided on the upper part of both sides of fixed frame C, and photoelectric sensors C and D are respectively arranged in channel two of the two side channels. Photoelectric sensors E and F are provided on the upper part of both sides of fixed frame D, and photoelectric sensors E and F are respectively arranged in channel one of the two side channels.

[0013] The aforementioned shunt chain conveyor for battery processing includes two identical baffles C at the work station. The baffles C are located in two channels on both sides of the chain conveyor body, and each baffle C includes inclined sections at the left and right ends and a straight section in the middle. The two baffles C are flared at both ends and straight in the middle. The baffles C are fixed to the vertical brackets on the outside of the side wall of the chain conveyor body by multiple fixing rods.

[0014] The aforementioned shunt chain conveyor for battery processing includes an "n"-shaped fixing frame D at the outlet station. The fixing frame D is fixed on the upper part of both sides of the chain conveyor body and close to the outlet of the chain conveyor body. Photoelectric sensors G and H are spaced apart on the upper part of the fixing frame D.

[0015] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The battery processing shunt conveyor described in this utility model, by setting a shunt station, can divert the batteries that were originally crowded on the conveyor body, splitting them from one channel into two channels, which then move towards the merging station. Since there are sizing machines on both sides of the merging station, the batteries flowing out of the sizing machines pass through baffles B and separators into channels one and two on both sides of the conveyor body. Cylinder C pushes the batteries that have passed through channel one into channel two, merging the four channels into two channels, which then move towards the exit station and directly into the two feed inlets of the cutting machine. This utility model has a simple and compact structure and a reasonable layout, which improves the original crowded state of the batteries on the conveyor body and eliminates the manual labor of arranging the batteries into two rows at the exit station, greatly improving work efficiency.

[0024] The present invention will be explained in detail through the following embodiments. The purpose of disclosing the present invention is to protect all technical improvements within the scope of the present invention.

[0025] Combined with appendix Figure 1-6 The aforementioned battery processing shunt chain line includes a chain line body 2. A shunt station 5, a merging station 3, a holding station 4, and an outlet station 1 are sequentially spaced between the inlet end and the outlet end of the chain line body 2. A plate wrapping and grooving machine is symmetrically provided at the inlet of the chain line body 2 and on both sides of the merging station 3. The discharge port of the plate wrapping and grooving machine is respectively set to correspond to the inlet of the chain line body 2 and the inlets on both sides of the merging station 3.

[0026] The diversion station 5 includes a fixed frame A7, a fixed frame B9, a partition A6, and a partition B11. Partitions A6 and B11 are arranged along the length of the chain conveyor body 2 and fixed to the upper middle part of the chain conveyor body 2, dividing the chain conveyor body 2 into two channels on both sides. A gap 17 is provided between partitions A6 and B11, which is the diversion channel between the two channels. Fixed frames A7 and B9 are fixed at intervals on the upper part of both sides of the chain conveyor body 2. Cylinders B16 and A15 are fixed on fixed frames A7 and B9 by "Z" shaped fixed frames. The extension sections of cylinders B16 and A15 are set corresponding to the gap 17. A baffle A12 is provided on both channels, and the two channels are narrowed by the baffle A12.

[0027] The station 4 includes two identical baffles C30. The baffles C30 are located in two channels on both sides of the chain plate body 2. They include inclined sections at the left and right ends and a straight section in the middle. The two baffles C30 are flared at both ends and straight in the middle. The baffles C30 are fixed to the vertical brackets 14 on the outside of the side wall of the chain plate body 2 by multiple fixing rods 13.

[0028] The exit station 1 includes an "n"-shaped fixing frame D31, which is fixed to the upper part of both sides of the chain conveyor body 2 and close to the exit of the chain conveyor body 2. Photoelectric sensors G32 and H33 are spaced apart on the upper part of the fixing frame D31. Photoelectric sensors G32 and H33 are used to detect the passage of batteries at the exit of the chain conveyor body 2. Once congestion occurs, the signal is transmitted to the PLC control system, and the alarm on the PLC control system notifies the staff to adjust the program or make manual adjustments.

[0029] Specifically, the baffle A12 consists of a straight section and an inclined section. The front ends of the inclined section are located on the two side walls of the inlet end of the chain plate body 2. The straight section is parallel to and spaced apart from the baffle B11. Fixing rods 13 are fixed on both the straight section and the inclined section. The outer ends of the fixing rods 13 are fixedly connected to the vertical brackets 14 on the outer side walls of the chain plate body 2. Fixing frames A7 and B9 are both set in an "n" shape. Photoelectric sensors A8 and B10 are fixed on the upper part of fixing frames A7 and B9, respectively. Photoelectric sensors A8 and B10 correspond to the left and right channels at the diversion station 5, respectively.

[0030] Specifically, there may be one or two merging stations 3. If there is one station, it is located between the diversion station 5 and the holding station 4. In this case, there are three grooving machines: one at the entrance of the diversion station 5 and the other two symmetrically arranged on both sides of the merging station 3. If there are two stations, they are arranged at intervals on both sides of the holding station 4. In this case, there are five grooving machines: one at the entrance of the diversion station 5 and the other four symmetrically arranged in pairs on both sides of the merging station 3.

[0031] Furthermore, the merging station 3 includes a fixed frame C20, a fixed frame D21, a cylinder C27, and a stop bar B28. The fixed frames C20 and D21 are fixed at intervals on the upper parts of both sides of the chain conveyor body 2. On both sides of the fixed frame D21, cylinders C27 and D29 are respectively fixed by "Z"-shaped fixed frames. A stop bar B28 is fixed to the right side of each cylinder C27 and D29. The stop bar B28 narrows the two channels on both sides of the partition A6. A separator bar 24 is provided in each of the two channels to separate the two... The channel is divided into channel 1 25 and channel 2 26. The left end of the dividing strip 24 is located to the right of cylinder C27, and the length of the right end is less than the length of the baffle B28. The baffle B28 consists of a straight section and an inclined section that are integrally set. The right end of the inclined section is located at the outlet of the grooving machine on both sides of the merging station 3. The straight section is parallel to the partition A6 and is spaced apart. A fixing rod 13 is fixed on both the straight section and the inclined section. The outer end of the fixing rod 13 is fixedly connected to the vertical bracket 14 on the outside of the side wall of the chain plate body 2.

[0032] Specifically, both the mounting brackets C20 and D21 are configured in an "n" shape. Photoelectric sensors C18 and D19 are installed on the upper part of both sides of the mounting bracket C20. Photoelectric sensors C18 and D19 are arranged in the second channel 26 of the two side channels respectively. Photoelectric sensors E22 and F23 are installed on the upper part of both sides of the mounting bracket D21. Photoelectric sensors E22 and F23 are arranged in the first channel 25 of the two side channels respectively. Example

[0033] There is one merging station 3 and four plate-packing and grooving machines. Along the chain conveyor body 2 from the inlet to the outlet, there are sequentially spaced diversion station 5, merging station 3, holding station 4, and outlet station 1. Plate-packing and grooving machines are symmetrically located on both sides of the inlet of the chain conveyor body 2 and on both sides of the merging station 3. The discharge guide rails of the plate-packing and grooving machines on both sides of the merging station 3 are located on the sidewalls of the chain conveyor body 2. The discharge ports of the plate-packing and grooving machines are respectively located opposite the inlet of the chain conveyor body 2. Each plate-packing and grooving machine discharges material at intervals, the length of which is set by the PLC control system. In this embodiment, the interval is set to 5 seconds to deliver one battery to the chain conveyor body 2. (See attached...) Figure 2-3 As shown, batteries travel on both channels. The baffle A12 and cylinder A15 on the right side of the figure are not shown, but their structures are the same as those on the left side. Anti-collision strips can be fixed on the inner surfaces of the baffles on both sides of the baffle A6 and the chain plate body 2.

[0034] The chain conveyor body 2 operates normally at a speed of 100mm / s. When all four troughing machines are running, cylinders A15 and B16 on the diversion station 5 do not operate. The batteries traveling on the two channels enter the inner channels 25 on both sides of the merging station 3, and the batteries delivered from the discharge guide rails of the troughing machines on both sides of the merging station 3 enter the outer channels 26 on both sides. (See attached...) Figure 4 As shown, at the merging station 3, the batteries in the four channels need to be merged into two channels and sent into the two channels of the holding station 4.

[0035] The usage of merging station 3 is as follows: The discharge channels of the two side plate unloading machines of merging station 3 are connected to the baffles B28 respectively. By setting the separator 24, the channels on one side of the chain plate body 2 are divided into two, namely channel one 25 and channel two 26. The additional channels are used to ensure the orderly operation of the batteries. Photoelectric sensors E22 and F23 are used to detect the passage of channel one 25 on both sides, and photoelectric sensors C18 and D19 are used to detect the passage of channel two 26 on both sides. Taking channel one 25 and channel two 26 on the left side of merging station 3 as an example, when the battery passes under photoelectric sensor F23 or photoelectric sensor C18, the lights of photoelectric sensor F23 and photoelectric sensor C18 are lit. When photoelectric sensor F23 detects that there is a battery in the lower channel one 25. When the battery passes through, the photoelectric sensor F23 lights up, and the signal from photoelectric sensor F23 is transmitted to the external PLC control system. The PLC control system determines whether there is a battery at the ejection position based on the on / off status of photoelectric sensor C18. The PLC control system is set to allow 7 seconds after photoelectric sensor F23 lights up as the time for the battery in channel 1 25 to pass through the ejection position. After 7 seconds, cylinder C27 at the ejection position pushes out, pushing the battery in channel 2 26 into channel 1 25. Anti-collision strips are fixed on both sides of the partition A6, which effectively protect the battery when it is pushed into channel 1 25. The merging station 3 of this utility model merges the four rows of passing batteries into two rows, and they enter the channels on the left and right sides of the holding station 4 in an orderly manner before moving to the exit station 1, smoothly entering the next brushing process. Example

[0036] There is one merging station 3 and four plate-packing and grooving machines. According to the production schedule, if the output is insufficient, the plate-packing and grooving machine on the right side of diversion station 5 needs to be stopped first. This machine stops and no longer supplies batteries to the chain conveyor body 2. At this time, the batteries delivered from the plate-packing and grooving machine on the left side of diversion station 5 are arranged at 5-second intervals, entering the channel between the left-side stop bar A12 and the middle partition B11 of the chain conveyor body 2. To balance the number of batteries traveling on the chain conveyor body 2, cylinders A15 and B16 are activated, pushing one battery through the channel to the right side, and so on. The specific working actions are as follows:

[0037] The photoelectric sensor A8 transmits the signal that the battery has reached the push-out position to the external PLC control system. The PLC control system then controls the cylinders A15 and B16 to move. The PLC control system controls the extension end of cylinder B16 to extend to the position of gap 17. The extension end of cylinder A15 extends, pushing the battery that is blocked by the extension end of cylinder B16 out of gap 17 into the channel on the right side of the chain plate body 2, thus achieving the purpose of diversion.

[0038] The settings of the program in the PLC control system are not within the scope of protection of this application. The specific setting method and the start and stop of each cylinder controlled by the PLC control system are existing technologies, so they will not be described in detail. The batteries of the two channels of the diversion station 5 move towards the merging station 3 and enter the two channels 25 in the middle of the merging station 3 respectively. After orderly entering the channels on the left and right sides of the holding station 4, they move to the exit station 1 and smoothly enter the next brushing process. Example

[0039] There are two merging stations 3 and six plate-wrapping and grooving machines. Along the inlet end to the outlet end of the chain plate line body 2, there are sequentially spaced diversion station 5, merging station 3, holding station 4, merging station 3 and outlet station 1. At the inlet of the chain plate line body 2 and at the position of the stop bar A12 and the partition B11, the plate-wrapping and grooving machines are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the two merging stations 3. The discharge ports of the plate-wrapping and grooving machines are respectively set to correspond to the inlet of the chain plate line body 2 and the inlets on both sides of the merging stations 3.

[0040] The working principle of its diversion station 5 and merging station 3 is the same as that of Example 1, except that an additional merging station 3 is added on the basis of Example 1, which increases the throughput of the storage battery.

[0041] The parts of this utility model not described in detail are existing technologies.

[0042] The embodiments selected herein for the purpose of disclosing the inventive objectives of this utility model are currently considered appropriate; however, it should be understood that this utility model is intended to include all variations and modifications of the embodiments that fall within the scope of this concept and utility model.
