Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of lithium battery production equipment technology, specifically a weight detection lithium battery lifting and stacking machine. Background Technology

[0002] The application of automated equipment is quite common in lithium battery production. Especially in the battery transfer process, stacker cranes are widely used to place multiple batteries in transfer frames and transport them on automated production lines. These devices were originally designed to improve production efficiency and reduce manual intervention. However, in actual use, due to various reasons, the problem of overloading often arises.

[0003] Currently, in order to solve the problem of overloading of stacker cranes, workers will check the weight of lithium batteries before lifting operations to avoid lithium batteries being overweight. Manual inspection is prone to errors and is inefficient. Moreover, it is impossible to monitor the weight of lithium batteries in real time during the lifting process, which reduces the safety of lithium battery lifting operations. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a weight detection lithium battery lifting and stacking machine. This machine is capable of real-time monitoring of the weight of the transfer baskets, promptly detecting and addressing overweight issues. This prevents equipment damage and safety accidents caused by overweight conditions, extends the equipment's lifespan, and offers advantages such as high automation, reduced manual intervention, and improved production efficiency and reliability. It solves the problems of error-prone and inefficient manual overweight checks of lithium batteries, as well as the inability to monitor the weight of lithium batteries in real-time during lifting, which reduces the safety of lithium battery lifting operations.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a weight detection lithium battery lifting and stacking machine, comprising a frame, a lifting platform inside the frame, a transfer frame inside the lifting platform, a weight sensing module at the bottom of the lifting platform, lifting hydraulic cylinders on both sides of the frame, the output end of the lifting hydraulic cylinders being fixedly connected to the top of the lifting platform, a controller at the top of the lifting platform, an alarm at the top of the lifting platform, the weight sensing module being electrically connected to the controller, the alarm being electrically connected to the controller, and the lifting hydraulic cylinders being electrically connected to the controller.

[0006] The above solution addresses the issues of manual overweight checks for lithium batteries being prone to errors and inefficient, and the inability to monitor the battery weight in real time during lifting, which reduces safety. By installing a controller, along with a weight sensing module, lifting hydraulic cylinder, and alarm electrically connected to the controller, the weight of the transfer basket can be monitored in real time. This allows for timely detection and handling of overweight issues, preventing equipment damage and safety accidents caused by overweight, extending equipment lifespan, and achieving a high degree of automation, reducing manual intervention, and improving production efficiency and reliability.

[0007] Furthermore, a camera is installed on the inner top wall of the lifting platform.

[0008] The above solution enables real-time monitoring of lithium batteries within the transport frame via cameras, facilitating observation of their stacking status and recording video data in case of abnormalities, which is then used for subsequent processing and analysis.

[0009] Furthermore, two guide tubes are fixedly connected to both sides of the lifting platform, and four guide columns are fixedly connected inside the frame. The inner wall of the guide tube is slidably sleeved with the outer circumferential surface of the guide column.

[0010] The above scheme uses guide tubes and guide columns to guide and restrict the lifting platform, ensuring that the lifting platform always moves vertically, thereby improving the stability of the lifting platform during lifting operations.

[0011] Furthermore, four supporting hydraulic cylinders are fixedly connected to both sides of the lifting platform, and a roller is fixedly connected to the output end of each supporting hydraulic cylinder. The supporting hydraulic cylinder is electrically connected to the controller.

[0012] With the above solution, when the weight sensing module detects that the lithium battery in the transfer frame is overweight, it will feed back the overweight information to the controller. The controller will then send a command to the support hydraulic cylinder, causing the support hydraulic cylinder to start and drive the rollers to move to both sides, abutting against the side wall of the frame to support the lifting platform. This provides additional support for the lifting platform under overweight conditions, further improving safety. The rollers can provide additional support for the lifting platform while meeting the lifting platform's lifting requirements.

[0013] Furthermore, the lifting platform has a placement slot inside, and the transfer frame is located inside the placement slot.

[0014] The above solution ensures that the transfer frame is fixed in position on the lifting platform, preventing it from shaking or falling off during the lifting process. At the same time, the placement slot can also protect the transfer frame and prevent it from being damaged.

[0015] Furthermore, the weight sensing module is a high-precision weighing sensor.

[0016] Through the above solution, the high-precision weighing sensor has the advantages of high sensitivity, accurate measurement, and good stability, which can ensure the timeliness and reliability of measurement results during the lifting of lithium batteries, thereby improving the emergency response speed of the equipment when it is overweight.

[0017] Furthermore, the controller is a PLC controller.

[0018] The above solution provides the PLC controller with advantages such as flexible programming, reliable control, and convenient expansion, making it easy for operators to use.

[0019] Furthermore, the alarm is an audible and visual alarm.

[0020] With the above solution, when the weight of the lithium battery exceeds the preset threshold or other abnormal situations occur, the audible and visual alarm will emit sound and light signals to sound an alarm. This alarm has the advantages of being intuitive, eye-catching, and easy to attract attention, which can ensure that operators can detect and deal with abnormal situations in a timely manner.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects: This weight-detecting lithium battery lifting stacker uses a controller, along with a weight sensing module, lifting hydraulic cylinder, and alarm electrically connected to the controller, to monitor the weight of the transfer frame in real time. This allows for timely detection and handling of overweight issues, preventing equipment damage and safety accidents caused by overloading. It also effectively prevents damage to the lifting stacker caused by frequent overloading, extending the equipment's lifespan. With a high degree of automation, it reduces manual intervention, improves production efficiency and reliability, and solves the problems of error-prone and inefficient manual lithium battery overweight checks, as well as the inability to monitor the weight of lithium batteries in real time during lifting, which reduces the safety of lithium battery lifting operations.

[0024] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 This embodiment of a weight detection lithium battery lifting and stacking machine includes a frame 1, a lifting platform 2 inside the frame 1, a transfer frame 3 inside the lifting platform 2, a weight sensing module 4 at the bottom of the lifting platform 2, lifting hydraulic cylinders 5 on both sides of the frame 1, the output end of the lifting hydraulic cylinder 5 being fixedly connected to the top of the lifting platform 2, a controller 6 at the top of the lifting platform 2, an alarm 7 at the top of the lifting platform 2, the weight sensing module 4 being electrically connected to the controller 6, the alarm 7 being electrically connected to the controller 6, and the lifting hydraulic cylinders 5 being electrically connected to the controller 6.

[0026] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 The inner top wall of the lifting platform 2 is equipped with a camera 8, which can realize real-time monitoring of the lithium batteries in the transfer frame 3. This helps to observe the stacking status of the lithium batteries and can also save video data in case of abnormalities, which is convenient for subsequent processing and analysis.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 Two guide tubes 9 are fixedly connected to both sides of the lifting platform 2, and four guide columns 10 are fixedly connected inside the frame 1. The inner wall of the guide tube 9 is slidably sleeved with the outer circumferential surface of the guide column 10. The lifting platform 2 is guided and restricted by the guide tubes 9 and the guide columns 10, so that the lifting platform 2 always moves vertically up and down, thereby improving the stability of the lifting platform 2 during the lifting operation.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5Four supporting hydraulic cylinders 11 are fixedly connected to both sides of the lifting platform 2. Each supporting hydraulic cylinder 11 has a roller 12 fixedly connected to its output end. The supporting hydraulic cylinders 11 are electrically connected to the controller 6. When the weight sensing module 4 senses that the lithium battery in the transfer frame 3 is overweight, it will feed back the overweight information to the controller 6. Then the controller 6 sends a command to the supporting hydraulic cylinders 11, causing the supporting hydraulic cylinders 11 to start and drive the rollers 12 to move to both sides and abut against the side wall of the frame 1 to support the lifting platform 2. In the case of overweight, it provides additional support for the lifting platform 2 and further improves safety. The setting of the rollers 12 can provide additional support for the lifting platform 2 while meeting the lifting and lowering requirements of the lifting platform 2.

[0029] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The lifting platform 2 has a placement slot 13 inside, and the transfer frame 3 is located inside the placement slot 13 to ensure that the position of the transfer frame 3 on the lifting platform 2 is fixed and to prevent shaking or falling off during the lifting process. At the same time, the placement slot 13 can also protect the transfer frame 3 and prevent it from being damaged.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The weight sensing module 4 is a high-precision weighing sensor. High-precision weighing sensors have the advantages of high sensitivity, accurate measurement, and good stability. They can ensure the timeliness and reliability of measurement results during the lifting of lithium batteries, thereby improving the emergency response speed of the equipment when it is overweight.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5 Controller 6 is a PLC controller. PLC controllers have the advantages of flexible programming, reliable control, and convenient expansion, making them easy for operators to use.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5 Alarm 7 is an audible and visual alarm. When the weight of the lithium battery exceeds a preset threshold or other abnormal situations occur, the audible and visual alarm will emit sound and light signals to sound an alarm. This type of alarm 7 has the advantages of being intuitive, eye-catching, and easy to attract attention, which can ensure that operators can detect and deal with abnormal situations in a timely manner.

[0033] This embodiment of a weight-detecting lithium battery lifting and stacking machine uses a controller 6, along with a weight sensing module 4, a lifting hydraulic cylinder 5, and an alarm 7 electrically connected to the controller 6, to monitor the weight of the transfer frame 3 in real time. This allows for timely detection and handling of overweight issues, preventing equipment damage and safety accidents caused by overweight conditions. It also effectively prevents damage to the lifting and stacking machine caused by frequent overloading, extending the equipment's service life. The machine is highly automated, reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency and reliability. It solves the problems of error-prone and inefficient manual overweight checks of lithium batteries, as well as the inability to monitor the weight of lithium batteries in real time during the lifting process, which reduces the safety of lithium battery lifting operations.

[0034] It should be noted that the supporting hydraulic cylinder 11 and roller 12 are respectively located at the four corners of the top and bottom of the lifting platform 2, which can provide a relatively stable support effect for the lifting platform 2.

[0035] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows: During lithium battery stacking operations, lithium batteries can be placed into the transfer frame 3, and the transfer frame 3 containing lithium batteries can be placed into the placement slot 13 in the lifting platform 2. Then, the lifting hydraulic cylinder 5 is activated to drive the lifting platform 2 to rise and fall, completing the lithium battery stacking operation. During the lifting process of the lifting platform 2, the weight sensing module 4 can monitor the weight of the transfer frame 3 in real time. When the weight is lower than the maximum weight limit, the lifting hydraulic cylinder 5 can be activated to drive the lifting platform 2 to rise. When the weight exceeds the maximum weight limit, the controller 6 receives the overweight information fed back by the weight sensing module 4, immediately stops the operation of the lifting hydraulic cylinder 5, and triggers the alarm 7 to sound an alarm, reminding the staff to deal with the overweight problem. At the same time, the support hydraulic cylinder 11 is activated to drive the roller 12 to abut against the inner wall of the frame 1, providing additional support for the lifting platform 2 and further improving safety. The setting of the roller 12 can provide additional support for the lifting platform 2 while meeting the lifting requirements of the lifting platform 2.
