Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated material handling technology, and in particular to a lightweight PACK material handling fixture. Background Technology

[0002] Pack handling refers to the efficient and safe transfer of battery packs or modules during battery manufacturing and assembly, typically involving the application of automated equipment and lightweight chemical handling equipment. For example, automated hoisting devices can achieve precise handling of lithium battery modules, improving production efficiency and safety.

[0003] Currently, most battery pack handling on the market uses forklifts in conjunction with transport racks. However, during the transfer process, the forklifts need to be adjusted multiple times to align with the battery modules, which not only reduces handling efficiency but also increases operational complexity and safety hazards, making it difficult to meet the modern battery manufacturing demand for efficient, precise, and safe production. Utility Model Content

[0004] One objective of this invention is to provide a lightweight PACK handling fixture. This invention addresses the problem mentioned in the background that current PACK handling methods on the market mostly use forklifts in conjunction with transport racks. However, during the transfer process, the forklifts need to be adjusted multiple times to align with the battery modules, which not only reduces handling efficiency but also increases operational complexity and safety hazards, making it difficult to meet the modern battery manufacturing requirements for efficient, precise, and safe production.

[0005] A lightweight handling fixture according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0006] The loading mechanism includes a loading frame and a movable seat inside it. Side plates are fixedly installed at both the front and rear ends of the top of the loading frame. Removable rear baffles and front baffles are respectively installed at the left and right ends of the side plates. A primary push-pull plate is fixedly installed on the top of the movable seat. A secondary push-pull plate is symmetrically fixedly arranged on the right side of the primary push-pull plate. Both the primary and secondary push-pull plates are connected to the loading frame through a drive assembly to achieve horizontal movement. Fine-tuning components are symmetrically installed at both the front and rear ends of the loading frame.

[0007] The lifting mechanism includes support plates symmetrically fixed at the front and rear ends of the loading frame, and a base frame located at the bottom of the loading frame. A first hydraulic rod is fixedly installed on the top of the support plate, and the output end of the first hydraulic rod is fixedly installed between the base frame and the base frame through a fixing plate.

[0008] The adjustment mechanism includes a base frame disposed at the bottom of the base frame and a second rotating seat fixed inside the base frame. A support frame is fixedly disposed inside the base frame, and a first rotating seat is fixedly disposed on one side of the support frame. A second hydraulic rod is rotatably disposed between the second rotating seat and the first rotating seat.

[0009] Preferably, the loading rack is mounted on the forklift via a mounting bracket, and there are two mounting brackets symmetrically arranged and fixedly mounted to the loading rack.

[0010] Preferably, laser calibrators are symmetrically fixed on the top side of the loading frame near the rear baffle.

[0011] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a first screw rotating inside the loading frame and a motor fixed to the surface of the rear baffle. Guide rods are symmetrically fixed in the slots inside the loading frame. A transmission assembly is installed between the end of the first screw and the output end of the motor. The first screw and the movable seat are connected by a threaded transmission.

[0012] Preferably, the transmission assembly consists of two gears, and the two gears are meshed and driven together, with the movable seat sliding on the outside of the guide rod.

[0013] Preferably, the fine-tuning component includes a fixing plate fixed to the outside of the loading frame, a second screw is threaded inside the fixing plate, a handle is fixedly provided at one end of the second screw, and the other end of the second screw corresponds to the battery module.

[0014] Preferably, the base frame has a first weight-reducing groove inside.

[0015] Preferably, the base frame has a second weight-reducing groove inside, the bottom of the base frame has sliders symmetrically fixedly installed, and the top of the base frame has guide rails symmetrically installed. The guide rails and sliders are matched and are movable.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. This utility model effectively avoids the problem of multiple alignment adjustments required by traditional forklifts through its loading mechanism, lifting mechanism, and adjustment mechanism. In use, the device is mounted on a forklift using a mounting bracket, and the forklift moves the device to the position of the battery module. Then, the motor in the drive assembly drives the first screw to rotate, causing the moving seat and the first and second push-pull plates to move horizontally on the guide rod, achieving precise pushing and positioning of the battery module. In conjunction with the rotating handle in the fine-tuning assembly, the second screw is pushed to fine-tune and calibrate the battery module. Furthermore, the first hydraulic rod in the lifting mechanism pushes the base frame to achieve vertical lifting, and the second hydraulic rod in the adjustment mechanism pushes the base frame to slide along the guide rail through the cooperation of the first and second rotating seats to achieve posture adjustment. This allows the tooling to be quickly and accurately aligned and transferred to the battery module. Therefore, this mechanism enables multi-angle flexible adjustment of the handling tooling, thereby significantly improving handling efficiency, reducing operational complexity, and eliminating safety hazards, meeting the modern battery manufacturing requirements for efficient, precise, and safe production.

[0018] 2. This utility model effectively avoids the problems of high energy consumption and poor maneuverability caused by excessive weight of traditional handling equipment by setting the first weight reduction groove and the second weight reduction groove in the base frame. In use, the first weight reduction groove in the base frame and the second weight reduction groove in the base frame significantly reduce the overall weight of the tooling while ensuring structural strength, making forklift handling more flexible and energy consumption lower. Combined with the sliding structure of the slider and the guide rail, the adjustment mechanism is more stable and smooth during the movement, thereby further improving handling efficiency and operational safety.

[0025] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0026] refer to Figures 1-4 A lightweight handling tooling, comprising:

[0027] The loading mechanism 1 includes a loading frame 101 and a movable seat 104 inside it. Side plates 107 are fixedly installed at both the front and rear ends of the top of the loading frame 101. A detachable rear baffle 109 and a front baffle 108 are respectively installed at the left and right ends of the side plates 107. A primary push-pull plate 105 is fixedly installed on the top of the movable seat 104. A secondary push-pull plate 106 is symmetrically fixed on the right side of the primary push-pull plate 105. The primary push-pull plate 105 and the secondary push-pull plate 106 are both connected to the loading frame 101 through a drive assembly to achieve horizontal movement.

[0028] The drive assembly includes a first screw 102 that rotates inside the loading frame 101 and a motor 110 fixed to the surface of the rear baffle 109. Guide rods 103 are symmetrically fixed in the slot inside the loading frame 101. A transmission assembly 111 is installed between the end of the first screw 102 and the output end of the motor 110. The first screw 102 and the movable seat 104 are connected by a threaded transmission.

[0029] Fine-tuning components are symmetrically installed at both the front and rear ends of the loading frame 101. The fine-tuning components include a fixing plate 114 fixed to the outside of the loading frame 101. A second screw 115 is threaded inside the fixing plate 114. A handle 116 is fixedly installed at one end of the second screw 115, and the other end of the second screw 115 corresponds to the battery module.

[0030] The lifting mechanism 2 includes support plates 201 symmetrically fixed at the front and rear ends of the loading frame 101, and a base frame 202 located at the bottom of the loading frame 101. A first hydraulic rod 203 is fixedly installed on the top of the support plate 201, and the output end of the first hydraulic rod and the base frame 202 are fixedly connected by a fixing plate 204.

[0031] The adjustment mechanism 3 includes a base frame 301 disposed at the bottom of the base frame 202, and a second rotating seat 304 fixed inside the base frame 202. A support frame 302 is fixedly disposed inside the base frame 301. A first rotating seat 303 is fixedly disposed on one side of the support frame 302. A second hydraulic rod 305 is rotatably disposed between the second rotating seat 304 and the first rotating seat 303.

[0032] In use, the device is mounted on a forklift using the mounting bracket 112. The forklift is then used to move the device to the position of the battery module. The motor 110 in the drive assembly drives the first screw 102 to rotate, causing the moving seat 104, the first-stage push-pull plate 105, and the second-stage push-pull plate 106 to move horizontally on the guide rod 103, achieving precise pushing and positioning of the battery module. In conjunction with the rotating handle 116 in the fine-tuning assembly, the second screw 115 is pushed to fine-tune and calibrate the battery module. Furthermore, the first hydraulic rod 203 in the lifting mechanism 2 pushes the base frame 202 to achieve vertical lifting, and the second hydraulic rod 305 in the adjustment mechanism 3, through the cooperation of the first rotating seat 303 and the second rotating seat 304, pushes the base frame 202 to slide along the guide rail 306 to achieve posture adjustment. This allows the tooling to be quickly and accurately aligned and transferred to the battery module. Therefore, this mechanism enables multi-angle flexible adjustment of the handling tooling, thereby significantly improving handling efficiency, reducing operational complexity, and eliminating safety hazards.

[0033] Example 1: The loading rack 101 is mounted on the forklift via the mounting bracket 112, enabling the entire handling fixture to quickly connect with the forklift and operate stably. There are two symmetrically arranged mounting brackets 112, which are fixedly installed with the loading rack 101. A laser calibrator 113 is symmetrically fixed on the top of the loading rack 101 near the rear baffle 109. When handling the battery module, the laser calibrator 113 emits a laser beam to calibrate the position of the battery module in real time, assisting the operator to quickly determine whether it is aligned, reducing the number of manual adjustments, and improving positioning accuracy and handling efficiency.

[0034] Example 2: The transmission assembly 111 consists of two gears, which are meshed and driven together. The movable seat 104 slides on the outside of the guide rod 103. The gear transmission achieves efficient power transmission and ensures that the movable seat 104 slides smoothly on the guide rod 103. The base frame 202 has a first weight reduction groove 205 inside, and the base frame 301 has a second weight reduction groove 308 inside. The bottom of the base frame 202 is symmetrically fixed with sliders 307, and the top of the base frame 301 is symmetrically provided with guide rails 306. The guide rails 306 and sliders 307 are matched and movable.

[0035] In use, the first weight reduction groove 205 in the base frame 202 and the second weight reduction groove 308 in the base frame 301 significantly reduce the overall weight of the tooling while ensuring structural strength, making forklift handling more flexible and energy consumption lower. Combined with the sliding structure of the slider 307 and the guide rail 306, the adjustment mechanism 3 moves more smoothly and steadily, thereby further improving handling efficiency and operational safety.

[0036] Working principle: In use, the device is first mounted on a forklift using the mounting bracket 112, and the forklift is used to move the fixture to the battery module position. Then, the motor 110 in the drive assembly is started, which drives the first screw 102 to rotate via the transmission assembly 111, causing the moving seat 104 to slide horizontally on the guide rod 103. This, in turn, drives the first-stage push-pull plate 105 and the second-stage push-pull plate 106 to precisely push the battery module to the target position. If further position adjustment is needed, the handle 116 in the fine-tuning assembly can be rotated, causing the second screw 115 to push the battery module for secondary fine-tuning and calibration. Then, the first hydraulic rod 203 in the lifting mechanism 2 pushes the base frame 202 to achieve vertical lifting and lowering. The tooling height is adjusted; then, the first rotating seat 303 and the second rotating seat 304 are driven to rotate relative to each other by the second hydraulic rod 305 in the adjustment mechanism 3, so that the base frame 202 slides along the guide rail 306, realizing flexible adjustment of the tooling posture; at the same time, the first weight reduction groove 205 inside the base frame 202 and the second weight reduction groove 308 inside the base frame 301 effectively reduce the weight of the tooling, and the cooperation between the slider 307 and the guide rail 306 ensures smooth movement; the laser calibrator 113 set on the top of the loading frame 101 can assist in real-time alignment and improve positioning accuracy. Through the above steps, the tooling realizes efficient, accurate and safe handling of battery modules, significantly improving work efficiency and reducing operation complexity.

Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
