Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery cell processing, and in particular to a core conveying system. Background Technology

[0002] Cell transport is crucial in battery production; slow transport speeds severely impact production efficiency. Traditional battery transport relies on manual handling of material handling and palletizing, increasing labor intensity and resulting in slow transport speeds, high labor costs, and a high risk of cell damage, all detrimental to battery production. Furthermore, manual transport presents quality risks such as inconsistent cell stacking and susceptibility to damage, reducing the efficiency and quality of battery production and transport management. Therefore, a cell transport system is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings mentioned above, this utility model aims to provide a technical solution that can solve the above problems.

[0004] A core conveying system includes a workbench, a first support frame and a second support frame respectively disposed on the workbench, and a first pallet carrier and a second pallet carrier respectively disposed on both sides of the bottom end of the workbench. The first pallet carrier has pallets containing battery cores stacked on it. A pallet transport platform is laterally movable at the top of the second support frame and is parallel to the first pallet carrier. The pallet transport platform can clamp and transport the pallets containing battery cores to the second pallet carrier. A third support frame is disposed between the second pallet carrier and the workbench, and a pallet fork is laterally disposed on one side of the third support frame. The pallet fork can move up and down on one side of the third support frame and is horizontally supported at the bottom end of the second pallet carrier. A movable platform is movably disposed on the first support frame and is parallel to the pallet fork. A battery core clamping fixture for clamping and picking up the battery cores on the pallet is disposed at the bottom end of the movable platform.

[0005] Preferably, a lifting plate is horizontally arranged inside the pallet transport platform, and the lifting plate moves up and down inside the pallet transport platform. The lifting plate is parallel to the worktable, and pallet clamping blocks for clamping the pallet are driven to be arranged on both sides of the lifting plate.

[0006] Preferably, a guide rail is provided between the third support frame and the pallet fork plate, and the guide rail is vertically located on both sides of the third support frame, and the pallet fork plate and the guide rail are in sliding engagement.

[0007] Preferably, a servo motor and a lead screw are also provided between the third support frame and the pallet fork plate. The servo motor is located at the bottom end of the other side of the third support frame, and the lead screw is vertically located between the guide rails. The lead screw and the pallet fork plate are driven together, and the lead screw and the servo motor are driven together. Sensors are provided at the upper and lower ends of both sides of the third support frame, and sensing plates that sense the sensors are provided on both sides of the pallet fork plate. The sensing plates and the pallet fork plate are in the same direction of movement.

[0008] Preferably, a fixed base is provided between the third support frame and the servo motor, and the fixed base is located laterally at the bottom end of the other side of the third support frame, and the servo motor is vertically fixed on the fixed base.

[0009] Preferably, a connecting frame is provided between the moving platform and the battery cell clamping fixture, and the connecting frame is vertically fixed at the bottom end of the moving platform, and the battery cell clamping fixture is fixed at the bottom end of the connecting frame.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: when the pallet transport platform transports the pallet containing the battery cells to the second pallet carrier, the pallet forks rise to the top of the second pallet carrier and support the transported pallet, and the pallet transport platform resets and clamps and transports the next pallet.

[0011] The movement between the moving platform and the first support frame drives the battery cell clamping fixture to clamp and remove the battery cells on the pallet until the battery cells inside the pallet carried on the pallet fork are removed. Then the pallet fork moves downward until the empty pallet is placed horizontally at the bottom of the second pallet carrier. The above actions are repeated until the empty pallets are stacked on the second pallet carrier.

[0012] The battery cell loading and unloading process is convenient, simple, and quick, featuring a streamlined and stable structure, high reliability, and a small footprint. Empty pallets are automatically fed in, a robotic arm picks up the cells and loads them onto the pallet, and the pallet is automatically transferred and unloaded when full. Empty pallets are quickly lifted, minimizing downtime. Multiple positioning components work together to ensure consistent cell stacking and prevent damage from impacts.

[0013] The fully automated loading and unloading system reduces manual operation, lowers labor intensity, ensures no damage to the appearance of the battery cells, and features a gas-stop function in the grippers to prevent the cells from falling. This improves the efficiency and stability of battery cell transport, ensures the efficiency of battery production and processing, reduces production costs, and increases the capacity efficiency of the battery production line.

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 1-5In this embodiment of the present invention, a core conveying system includes a workbench 1, a first support frame 2 and a second support frame 3 respectively disposed on the workbench 1, and a first pallet carrier 4 and a second pallet carrier 5 respectively disposed on both sides of the bottom end of the workbench 1. The first pallet carrier 4 has a pallet 22 containing battery cores stacked on it. A pallet transport platform 6 is laterally movable at the top of the second support frame 3, and the pallet transport platform 6 is parallel to the first pallet carrier 4. The pallet transport platform 6 can clamp and transport the pallets 22 containing battery cores to the second pallet carrier 5. A third support frame 13 is disposed between the second pallet carrier 5 and the workbench 1, and a pallet fork 14 is laterally disposed on one side of the third support frame 13. The pallet fork 14 moves up and down on one side of the third support frame 13 and is horizontally positioned at the bottom end of the second pallet carrier 5, thereby allowing the pallet transport platform 6 to... When the pallet 22 containing battery cells is transported to the second pallet carrier 5, the pallet fork 14 rises to the top of the second pallet carrier 5 and supports the transported pallet 22. The pallet transport platform 6 resets and clamps and transports the next pallet 22. A movable platform 8 is movably mounted on the first support frame 2, and the movable platform 8 is parallel to the pallet fork 14. The bottom of the movable platform 8 is equipped with a battery cell clamping fixture 10 for clamping and picking up the battery cells on the pallet 22. Through the movable cooperation between the movable platform 8 and the first support frame 2, the battery cell clamping fixture 10 is driven to clamp and transport the battery cells on the pallet 22 until the battery cells inside the pallet 22 carried by the pallet fork 14 are clamped and transported away. Then, the pallet fork 14 moves downward until the empty pallet 22 is placed horizontally at the bottom of the second pallet carrier 5. The above actions are repeated until the empty pallets 22 are stacked on the second pallet carrier 5.

[0024] The pallet transport platform 6 has a horizontally arranged lifting plate 11 inside, which moves up and down inside the pallet transport platform 6. The lifting plate 11 is parallel to the worktable 1, and pallet clamping blocks 12 are driven on both sides of the lifting plate 11 to clamp the pallet 22. Through the driving cooperation between the lifting plate 11 and the pallet transport platform 6, the lifting plate 11 moves along with the pallet positioning clamping blocks 12 to both sides of the pallet 22 during the lifting process. Finally, after the pallet positioning clamping blocks 12 clamp the pallet 22 by moving on both sides of the lifting plate 11, the lifting plate 11 is lifted up and down. Then, in conjunction with the movement of the pallet transport platform 6 on the second support frame 3, the pallet 22 clamped by the lifting plate 11 is transported to the second pallet carrier 5.

[0025] A guide rail 20 is provided between the third support frame 13 and the pallet fork plate 14, and the guide rail 20 is vertically located on both sides of the third support frame 13. The pallet fork plate 14 and the guide rail 20 are slidably engaged, so that the pallet fork plate 14 can move up and down along the guide rail 20 on the side of the third support frame 13. The front and rear ends of both sides of the pallet fork plate 14 are formed with pallet positioning blocks 15 to limit the pot ears of the pallet 22, so as to prevent the pallet 22 from being misaligned when it is horizontally placed on the pallet fork plate 14.

[0026] A servo motor 17 and a lead screw 21 are also provided between the third support frame 13 and the pallet fork plate 14. The servo motor 17 is located at the bottom end of the other side of the third support frame 13, and the lead screw 21 is vertically located between the guide rails 20. The lead screw 21 is driven to cooperate with the pallet fork plate 14, and the lead screw 21 is driven to be connected to the servo motor 17. The servo motor 17 drives the lead screw 21 to rotate between the guide rails 20, thereby driving the pallet fork plate 14 to move up and down on the side of the third support frame 13. Sensors 18 are provided at the upper and lower ends of both sides of the third support frame 13, and sensing plates 19 that sense the sensors 18 are provided on both sides of the pallet fork plate 14. The sensing plates 19 and the pallet fork plate 14 move in the same direction. When the pallet fork plate 14 moves up and down on the side of the third support frame 13, the sensing plates 19 move along with it. Thus, the sensing plates 19 sense the sensors 18 at different positions during the movement, thereby determining the position of the pallet fork plate 14.

[0027] A fixing seat 16 is provided between the third support frame 13 and the servo motor 17, and the fixing seat 16 is located laterally at the bottom end of the other side of the third support frame 13, and the servo motor 17 is vertically fixed on the fixing seat 16.

The connecting frame 9 is vertically fixed at the bottom of the moving platform 8, and the battery cell clamping fixture 10 is fixed at the bottom of the connecting frame 9. Thus, the moving platform 8 moves together with the battery cell clamping fixture 10 during the movement through the connecting frame 9.
