Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of battery transportation equipment technology, and in particular relates to a battery module transport vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] As an important component of rail transit, the power and auxiliary battery system carries out core functions such as power conversion, power supply, and power. During the assembly and maintenance of the power and auxiliary battery system, it is necessary to disassemble and transport the battery modules inside.

[0003] Normally, if workers manually handle battery modules, it not only increases labor costs, but also poses risks of vibration and collision during transportation, thereby increasing battery damage or safety hazards. Currently, there are no dedicated handling tools, and forklifts and cranes are mostly used for operation, which has great limitations. Moreover, after the battery modules are clamped, they still need to be manually moved onto the forklifts or cranes, resulting in low automation. Therefore, a battery module handling vehicle is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model embodiment is to provide a battery module transport vehicle to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A battery module transport vehicle, comprising:

[0007] The equipment body includes a mobile cart, a fixed frame, and a placement frame. The fixed frame is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the mobile cart. The mobile cart has a sliding groove, and the placement frame is movably disposed in the sliding groove.

[0008] A battery placement mechanism includes a fixed slide rail, a motor, a rotating rod, a moving block, a pushing block, and an electric telescopic rod. The rotating rod is rotatably mounted on the fixed slide rail, and the moving block is slidably mounted on the fixed slide rail. The moving block is threadedly connected to the rotating rod. The two ends of the electric telescopic rod are connected to the moving block and the pushing block. The fixed slide rail is fixedly installed on the fixed frame. The pushing block is positioned at a predetermined distance above the placement frame. The motor is mounted on the fixed slide rail, and the output shaft of the motor is connected to the rotating rod.

[0009] A transport mechanism, which is mounted on the fixed frame.

[0010] In a further technical solution, the main body of the equipment also includes a cylinder, which is mounted on the mobile vehicle, and the output shaft of the cylinder is connected to one end face of the placement frame.

[0011] In a further technical solution, the conveying mechanism includes a rotating drive, a pulley, a suspension rope, and a gripping assembly. The two ends of the suspension rope are connected to the pulley and the gripping assembly. The output shaft of the rotating drive is connected to the pulley. The pulley is rotatably mounted on the fixed frame, and the rotating drive is installed on the fixed frame.

[0012] In a further technical solution, the gripping assembly includes a connecting vertical rod, a connecting horizontal rod, a connecting block, and a pair of gripping rods. The conveying mechanism also includes a gripper cylinder, which is installed at the lower end of the lifting rope. The output shaft of the gripper cylinder is connected to the connecting vertical rod. The middle position of the connecting horizontal rod is connected to the connecting block. The pair of gripping rods are rotatably connected to both ends of the connecting horizontal rod.

[0013] In a further technical solution, the gripping assembly also includes a pair of sensors, each of which is disposed at the end of the gripping rod away from the connecting crossbar, and the sensors are electrically connected to the rotation drive component.

[0014] In a further technical solution, the main body of the device also includes multiple rotating columns, which are rotatably disposed on the bottom wall of the placement frame at intervals.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] This invention features a battery placement mechanism comprising a fixed slide rail, a motor, a rotating rod, a conveyor block, a pusher block, and an electric telescopic rod. The rotating rod is rotatably mounted on the fixed slide rail, and the conveyor block is slidably mounted on the fixed slide rail. The conveyor block is threadedly connected to the rotating rod, and the two ends of the electric telescopic rod are connected to the conveyor block and the pusher block. The battery module is placed in a placement frame. Upon startup, the motor rotates forward, causing the rotating rod to rotate, and the conveyor block, pusher block, and electric telescopic rod move towards the transport mechanism. Subsequently, the electric telescopic rod drives the pusher block downward until its sidewall abuts against the sidewall of the battery module. The motor then reverses direction, causing the rotating rod to rotate in the opposite direction, and the pusher block and the battery module abutting against it move away from the transport mechanism until the battery module abuts against the sidewall of the placement frame. This eliminates the need for workers to move the gripped battery module to a mobile cart, reducing labor costs and demonstrating the high degree of automation of the equipment.

[0017] This invention incorporates sensors, each located at the end of the gripping rod furthest from the connecting crossbar, electrically connected to the rotation drive component. In one embodiment, the sensors are infrared sensors; if the infrared sensors do not detect a signal, the rotation drive component is not allowed to rotate. If the infrared sensors receive a signal, it indicates that the gripping rod has securely fixed the battery module. The sensors ensure that the gripping rod completely grips the battery module. In another embodiment, the sensors are pressure sensors. Workers can input the weight of the battery module via a display screen on the mobile vehicle, and the system automatically calculates the pressure required for the gripping rod to clamp the battery module. If the pressure sensor does not reach the specified pressure, it indicates that the gripping rod has not securely fixed the battery module, and the rotation drive component is not allowed to rotate. Thus, by using sensors to detect whether the gripping rod clamps or secures the battery module, the risk of the battery module falling during lifting and transportation is ensured, improving the safety and stability of the equipment operation.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages 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.

[0026] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment of the utility model provides a battery module transport vehicle, including:

[0028] The main body of the equipment 1 includes a mobile vehicle 11, a fixed frame 12 and a placement frame 13. The fixed frame 12 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the mobile vehicle 11. The mobile vehicle 11 has a slide groove 111 and the placement frame 13 is movably disposed in the slide groove 111.

[0029] The battery placement mechanism 2 includes a fixed slide rail 21, a motor 22, a rotating rod 23, a moving block 24, a pushing block 25, and an electric telescopic rod 26. The rotating rod 23 is rotatably mounted on the fixed slide rail 21, and the moving block 24 is slidably mounted on the fixed slide rail 21. The moving block 24 is threadedly connected to the rotating rod 23. The two ends of the electric telescopic rod 26 are connected to the moving block 24 and the pushing block 25. The fixed slide rail 21 is fixedly installed on the fixed frame 12. The pushing block 25 is positioned at a predetermined distance above the placement frame 13. The motor 22 is mounted on the fixed slide rail 21, and the output shaft of the motor 22 is connected to the rotating rod 23.

[0030] The handling mechanism 3 is mounted on the fixed frame 12;

[0031] In this embodiment, the battery module is placed in the placement frame 13. After starting, the motor 22 rotates forward, which drives the rotating rod 23 to rotate, thereby moving the conveyor block 24, the push block 25, and the electric telescopic rod 26 towards the direction of the conveying mechanism 3. Subsequently, the electric telescopic rod 26 drives the push block 25 to move downward until the side wall of the push block 25 abuts against the side wall of the battery module. The motor 22 reverses, which drives the rotating rod 23 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby moving the push block 25 and the battery module abutting against the push block 25 away from the conveying mechanism 3 until the battery module abuts against the side wall of the placement frame 13. In this way, there is no need for workers to move the grabbed battery module to the mobile cart 11, which reduces labor costs and reflects the degree of automation of the equipment.

[0032] Specifically, the main body of the equipment 1 also includes a cylinder 14, which is mounted on the mobile vehicle 11, and the output shaft of the cylinder 14 is connected to one end face of the placement frame 13.

[0033] In this embodiment, the cylinder 14 after activation drives the placement frame 13 to slide along the slide groove 111 until the bottom wall of the placement frame 13 is in contact with the lower end face of the battery module after it has been moved up.

[0034] Specifically, the conveying mechanism 3 includes a rotation drive 31, a pulley 32, a lifting rope 33, and a gripping assembly 34. The two ends of the lifting rope 33 are connected to the pulley 32 and the gripping assembly 34. The output shaft of the rotation drive 31 is connected to the pulley 32. The pulley 32 is rotatably mounted on the fixed frame 12. The rotation drive 31 is mounted on the fixed frame 12.

[0035] In this embodiment, after startup, the rotation drive 31 rotates forward, thereby driving the pulley 32 to rotate forward, so that the suspension rope 33 extends until the gripper cylinder 35 and the gripping assembly 34 move down to the battery module; after the gripper cylinder 35 drives the gripping assembly 34 to grip the battery module, the rotation drive 31 reverses, thereby driving the pulley 32 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the suspension rope 33 shortens, thereby driving the gripping assembly 34 and the battery module to move up;

[0036] Specifically, the gripping assembly 34 includes a connecting vertical rod 341, a connecting horizontal rod 342, a connecting block 343, and a pair of gripping rods 344. The conveying mechanism 3 also includes a gripper cylinder 35, which is installed at the lower end of the lifting rope 33. The output shaft of the gripper cylinder 35 is connected to the connecting vertical rod 341, and the middle position of the connecting horizontal rod 342 is connected to the connecting block 343. The pair of gripping rods 344 are rotatably connected to the two ends of the connecting horizontal rod 342.

[0037] In this embodiment, when the gripping component 34 grips the battery module, the gripper cylinder 35 drives the connecting vertical rod 341 to move away from the connecting horizontal rod 342. The upward-moving connecting vertical rod 341 drives the connecting block 343 to move upward together, thereby causing the connecting horizontal rods 342 at both ends of the connecting block 343 to deflect upward, so that a pair of gripping rods 344 are clamped together, thereby realizing the gripping of the battery module.

[0038] Specifically, the gripping assembly 34 also includes a pair of sensors 345, each sensor 345 being disposed at the end of the gripping rod 344 away from the connecting crossbar 342, and the sensors 345 being electrically connected to the rotation drive 31;

[0039] In one embodiment, sensor 345 is implemented as an infrared sensor. If the infrared sensor does not detect a signal, the rotation drive 31 is not allowed to rotate. If the infrared sensor receives a signal, it indicates that the gripping rod 344 has secured the battery module firmly. By setting sensor 345, it is ensured that the gripping rod 344 completely grips the battery module. In another embodiment, sensor 345 is implemented as a pressure sensor. The worker can input the weight of the battery module through the display screen on the mobile cart 11, and the system will automatically calculate the pressure required for the gripping rod 344 to clamp the battery module. If the pressure sensor does not reach the specified pressure, it indicates that the gripping rod 344 has not secured the battery module firmly, and the rotation drive 31 is not allowed to rotate. In this way, by setting sensor 345 to detect whether the gripping rod 344 has clamped or secured the battery module, it is ensured that there is no risk of falling during the lifting and transportation of the battery module, thus improving the safety and stability of equipment operation.

[0040] Specifically, the main body of the equipment 1 also includes a plurality of rotating columns 15, which are rotatably disposed on the bottom wall of the placement frame 13 at intervals;

[0041] In this embodiment, when the battery module is pushed to the side wall of the placement frame 13 by the push block 25, the multiple rotating columns 15 placed on the bottom wall of the placement frame 13 also rotate synchronously; by setting the rotating columns 15, the friction between the battery module and the bottom wall of the placement frame 13 is reduced, thereby extending the service life of the equipment.

[0042] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0043] In use, the worker first operates the control handle to clamp the mobile cart 11 to the required operating position; then, the activated rotary drive 31 rotates forward, thereby driving the pulley 32 to rotate forward, so that the hoisting rope 33 extends until the gripper cylinder 35 and the gripping assembly 34 move down to the battery module; after the gripper cylinder 35 drives the gripping assembly 34 to grab the battery module, the rotary drive 31 reverses, thereby driving the pulley 32 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the hoisting rope 33 shortens, thereby driving the gripping assembly 34 and the battery module to move upward;

[0044] At the same time, the cylinder 14 after starting drives the placement frame 13 to slide along the slide groove 111 until the bottom wall of the placement frame 13 is in contact with the lower end face of the battery module after it has moved up; then, the gripper cylinder 35 drives the gripping component 34 to release, at which point the battery module is placed in the placement frame 13.

[0045] After starting, the motor 22 rotates forward, which in turn drives the rotating rod 23 to rotate, thereby moving the conveyor block 24, the push block 25, and the electric telescopic rod 26 toward the gripping component 34. Subsequently, the electric telescopic rod 26, after starting, moves the push block 25 downward until the side wall of the push block 25 abuts against the side wall of the battery module. The motor 22 reverses, which in turn drives the rotating rod 23 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby moving the push block 25 and the battery module abutting against the push block 25 toward the direction away from the gripping component 34 until the battery module abuts against the side wall of the placement frame 13. In this way, there is no need for workers to move the gripped battery module to the mobile cart 11, reducing labor costs and demonstrating the degree of automation of the equipment.

[0046] After the placement frame 13 is completely filled with battery modules, the cylinder 14 drives the placement frame 13 to move along the slide 111 and away from the transport mechanism 3.

[0047] When the battery module is pushed to the side wall of the placement frame 13 by the push block 25, the multiple rotating columns 15 placed on the bottom wall of the placement frame 13 also rotate synchronously; by setting the rotating columns 15, the friction between the battery module and the bottom wall of the placement frame 13 is reduced, thereby extending the service life of the equipment;

[0048] Specifically, when the gripping component 34 grips the battery module, the gripper cylinder 35 drives the connecting vertical rod 341 to move away from the connecting horizontal rod 342. The upward-moving connecting vertical rod 341 drives the connecting block 343 to move upward together, thereby causing the connecting horizontal rods 342 at both ends of the connecting block 343 to deflect upward, so that a pair of gripping rods 344 clamp together, thereby realizing the gripping of the battery module.

[0049] In one embodiment, sensor 345 is implemented as an infrared sensor. If the infrared sensor does not detect a signal, the rotation drive 31 is not allowed to rotate. If the infrared sensor receives a signal, it means that the gripping rod 344 has firmly fixed the battery module. By setting sensor 345, it is ensured that the gripping rod 344 completely grips the battery module.

[0050] In another embodiment, sensor 345 is implemented as a pressure sensor; the worker can input the weight of the battery module through the display screen on the mobile vehicle 11, and the system will automatically calculate the pressure required for the gripping rod 344 to clamp the battery module; if the pressure sensor does not reach the specified pressure, it means that the gripping rod 344 has not secured the battery module, and the rotation drive 31 is not allowed to rotate.

[0051] In this way, by setting up sensor 345 to detect whether the gripping rod 344 clamps or fixes the battery module, it is ensured that there is no risk of falling during the lifting and transportation of the battery module, thereby improving the safety and stability of the equipment operation.

[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
