Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery manufacturing equipment technology, and in particular to a shaking mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread application and rapid development of lithium-ion batteries, people have increasingly higher requirements for their performance. Not only are high capacity requirements necessary, but also good capacity retention during repeated charge-discharge cycles, exhibiting excellent cycle performance and a long service life. The slurry, mainly composed of lithium salts and organic solvents, acts as a carrier for ion transport between the positive and negative electrodes of the lithium battery, ensuring its high voltage and high specific energy.

[0003] With the continuous development of automation technology, more and more battery manufacturers are using battery manufacturing equipment to produce batteries. The mixing mechanism is a component in battery manufacturing equipment used for stirring and mixing slurry. In existing technology, the mixing mechanism typically includes a rotary drive and a storage frame installed at the output end of the rotary drive. Bottles containing slurry are placed in the storage frame, and the rotary drive drives a tray to rotate through the storage frame, thereby stirring and mixing the slurry in the bottle. However, since the bottle is vertical in the storage frame, the slurry's agitation within the bottle is limited, resulting in insufficient mixing of the slurry in existing mixing mechanisms. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This utility model provides a shaking mechanism to solve the technical problems of insufficient shaking of slurry in the prior art.

[0005] The shaking mechanism provided in one embodiment of the present invention includes a rotation drive assembly, a transmission assembly, and a storage frame, wherein the storage frame is used to store a bottle containing slurry. The rotary drive assembly includes a motor and a first gear mounted on the output shaft of the motor; The transmission assembly includes a second gear, a first bevel gear, a second bevel gear, a first shaft, a second shaft, and a support block. The second shaft is rotatably mounted on the support block. The storage frame and the second bevel gear are both mounted on the second shaft, and the second gear and the first bevel gear are both mounted on the first shaft. The first gear meshes with the second gear, and the first bevel gear meshes with the second bevel gear. The included angle between the first shaft and the second shaft is an acute angle.

[0006] Optionally, the shaking mechanism further includes a support plate, and two of the transmission assembly and the storage box are provided; The first gear is rotatably mounted on the support plate, the two support blocks are symmetrically mounted on the support plate, and the two second gears are respectively meshed on opposite sides of the first gear.

[0007] Optionally, the storage frame is provided with a plurality of positioning protrusions distributed circumferentially, the positioning protrusions being used to insert into the positioning groove of the material bottle.

[0008] Optionally, the shaking mechanism includes a chassis with an internal space and a cylinder with a receiving space, the cylinder being mounted on the chassis and used to cover the internal space; The first gear, the transmission assembly, and the storage box are all located in the accommodating space, and the motor is installed in the internal space.

[0009] Optionally, the shaking mechanism further includes an air nozzle and a suction nozzle, both mounted on the cylinder. The air nozzle is used to blow air into the receiving space, and the suction nozzle is used to extract gas from the receiving space.

[0010] Optionally, the shaking mechanism further includes a door opening drive and a cover plate rotatably mounted on the chassis. The door opening drive is mounted on the chassis, and its output end is connected to the cover plate. The door opening drive is used to drive the cover plate to close or open the receiving space.

[0011] Optionally, the cover plate is provided with a transparent window and a handle, and the transparent window is disposed opposite to the receiving space.

[0012] Optionally, the shaking mechanism further includes an elastic element installed between the cylinder and the housing.

[0013] Optionally, the diameter of the first gear is larger than the diameter of the second gear, and the diameter of the first bevel gear is smaller than the diameter of the second bevel gear.

[0014] In this invention, the motor drives the first gear to rotate, and the first gear drives the first shaft and the first bevel gear to rotate via the second gear. The first bevel gear drives the second shaft and the storage frame to rotate via the second bevel gear. Since the slurry bottle is placed inside the storage frame, the shaking mechanism can drive the bottle to rotate, thereby achieving the effect of shaking the slurry inside the bottle. Furthermore, the angle between the first shaft and the second shaft is an acute angle, causing the storage frame to be tilted. The slurry bottle placed inside the storage frame is also tilted, allowing the shaking mechanism to rotate the tilted bottle. This results in a large amplitude of sloshing within the slurry, ensuring thorough mixing of the slurry inside the bottle. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0018] To make the technical problems solved, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0019] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a shaking mechanism provided in one embodiment of the present invention includes a rotary drive assembly 1, a transmission assembly 2, and a storage frame 3, wherein the storage frame 3 is used to store a slurry bottle 100. The rotary drive assembly 1 includes a motor (not shown in the figure) and a first gear 11 mounted on the output shaft of the motor; The transmission assembly 2 includes a second gear 21, a first bevel gear 22, a second bevel gear 23, a first shaft 24, a second shaft 25, and a support block 26. The second shaft 25 is rotatably mounted on the support block 26. The storage frame 3 and the second bevel gear 23 are both mounted on the second shaft 25, and the second gear 21 and the first bevel gear 22 are both mounted on the first shaft 24. The first gear 11 meshes with the second gear 21, and the first bevel gear 22 meshes with the second bevel gear 23. The included angle between the first shaft 24 and the second shaft 25 is an acute angle.

[0020] The second shaft 25 can be rotatably mounted on the support block 26 via bearings, and the storage box 3 and the second bevel gear 23 are located on opposite sides of the support block 26; the output shaft of the motor is parallel to the first shaft 24.

[0021] Specifically, the motor drives the first gear 11 to rotate, and the first gear 11 drives the first shaft 24 and the first bevel gear 22 to rotate via the second gear 21. The first bevel gear 22 drives the second shaft 25 and the storage frame 3 to rotate via the second bevel gear 23. Since the slurry bottle 100 is placed inside the storage frame 3, the shaking mechanism can drive the slurry bottle 100 to rotate, thereby achieving the effect of shaking the slurry inside the slurry bottle 100. In addition, the included angle between the first shaft 24 and the second shaft 25 is an acute angle, so the storage frame 3 is tilted, and the slurry bottle 100 placed in the storage frame 3 is also tilted. Therefore, the shaking mechanism can rotate the tilted slurry bottle 100, and the slurry inside the slurry bottle 100 shakes more significantly, so the shaking mechanism can fully shake the slurry inside the slurry bottle 100.

[0022] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the shaking mechanism also includes a support plate 4, and two transmission components 2 and two storage boxes 3 are provided. The first gear 11 is rotatably mounted on the support plate 4, the two support blocks 26 are symmetrically mounted on the support plate 4, and the two second gears 21 are respectively meshed on opposite sides of the first gear 11.

[0023] The first gear 11 can be rotatably mounted on the support plate 4 via a shaft.

[0024] In this embodiment, the two transmission mechanisms are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the first gear 11, and the two storage boxes 3 are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the first gear 11. Thus, the shaking mechanism can shake two bottles 100 at a time, which improves the efficiency of the shaking mechanism. Moreover, the shaking mechanism has a compact structure and occupies little space.

[0025] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the storage frame 3 is provided with a plurality of positioning protrusions 31 distributed circumferentially, and the positioning protrusions 31 are used to be inserted into the positioning grooves 101 of the material bottle 100.

[0026] The number of positioning protrusions 31 is determined according to the number of positioning grooves 101.

[0027] In this embodiment, after the material bottle 100 is placed in the storage frame 3, the positioning protrusion 31 is inserted into the positioning groove 101, so that the storage frame 3 can drive the material bottle 100 to rotate synchronously, ensuring the stability of the material bottle 100 being rotated by the storage frame 3.

[0028] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the shaking mechanism includes a housing 5 with an internal space (not shown in the figure) and a cylinder 6 with a receiving space 61. The cylinder 6 is mounted on the housing 5 and is used to cover the internal space. The first gear 11, the transmission assembly 2, and the storage box 3 are all located in the accommodating space 61, and the motor is installed in the internal space.

[0029] The cylinder 6 is fixedly installed on the housing 5, and the motor is hidden in the internal space. The first gear 11, the transmission assembly 2 and the storage frame 3 are all located in the accommodating space 61, which makes it convenient for the staff to place the material bottle 100 in the storage frame 3 and to take the material bottle 100 out of the storage frame 3.

[0030] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the shaking mechanism also includes an air nozzle 62 and a suction nozzle 63 installed on the cylinder 6. The air nozzle 62 is used to blow air into the receiving space 61, and the suction nozzle 63 is used to extract gas from the receiving space 61.

[0031] The air nozzle 62 is connected to an external air pump or other device, and the suction nozzle 63 is connected to an external vacuum pump.

[0032] Specifically, during the shaking process of the slurry in the slurry bottle 100, the temperature of the slurry will rise. The air nozzle 62 can blow cold air into the containing space 61, and the suction nozzle 62 can adsorb the gas in the containing space 61. Thus, the gas circulates in the internal space 61, thereby cooling the slurry in the slurry bottle 100 and preventing the slurry in the slurry bottle 100 from experiencing a performance degradation due to excessive temperature.

[0033] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the shaking mechanism also includes a door opening drive 8 and a cover plate 7 rotatably mounted on the housing 5. The door opening drive 8 is mounted on the housing 5, and the output end of the door opening drive 8 is connected to the cover plate 7. The door opening drive 8 is used to drive the cover plate 7 to close or open the accommodating space 61.

[0034] The door opening drive component 8 includes, but is not limited to, pneumatic cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, linear motors, etc.

[0035] Specifically, when the door opening drive 8 drives the cover plate 7 to rotate to the state of closing the receiving space 61, the material bottle 100 is shaken in the closed receiving space 61, which improves the safety of the shaking mechanism; when the door opening drive 8 drives the cover plate 7 to rotate to the state of opening the receiving space 61, the operator can load and unload the material from the storage frame 3.

[0036] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cover plate 7 is provided with a transparent window 71 and a handle 72, and the transparent window 71 is arranged opposite to the accommodating space 61.

[0037] The transparent window 71 can be made of glass or transparent plastic.

[0038] Specifically, when the cover plate 7 is in the closed state of the receiving space 61, the staff can observe the situation in the receiving space 61 through the transparent window 71, which improves the ease of use of the shaking mechanism; the staff can mechanically rotate the cover plate 7 through the handle 72.

[0039] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the shaking mechanism also includes an elastic element 9 installed between the cylinder 6 and the housing 5.

[0040] The elastic element 9 includes, but is not limited to, springs, leaf springs, etc.

[0041] In this embodiment, the elastic element 9 can buffer the cylinder 6.

[0042] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the diameter of the first gear 11 is greater than the diameter of the second gear 21, and the diameter of the first bevel gear 22 is smaller than the diameter of the second bevel gear 23.

[0043] In this embodiment, the diameter of the first gear 11 is larger than the diameter of the second gear 21, so that the first gear 11 and the second gear 21 can play the role of reducing speed and increasing torque; the diameter of the first bevel gear 22 is smaller than the diameter of the second bevel gear 23, which improves the compactness of the shaking mechanism.

[0044] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and should all be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
