Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery maintenance technology, specifically to an auxiliary device for battery maintenance in new energy vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] New energy vehicles refer to automobiles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as their power source (or use conventional vehicle fuels but employ new on-board power devices), integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and drive, resulting in vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and new structures. In recent years, with the increasing awareness of environmental protection and the intensification of the energy crisis, new energy vehicles have developed rapidly.

[0003] The core power source of new energy vehicles comes from batteries. The performance and lifespan of batteries are directly related to the vehicle's range, power output, and operating costs. Therefore, it is crucial to regularly maintain and inspect the batteries of new energy vehicles. Battery maintenance can not only extend the battery's lifespan but also improve the vehicle's safety and reliability.

[0004] Currently, when maintaining batteries for new energy vehicles, it is usually necessary to clamp and fix the battery before inspecting and testing both sides. However, existing maintenance equipment often requires manual flipping of the battery when inspecting the back side. Due to the large size and weight of the battery, manual flipping is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also easily damages the battery. In addition, some existing battery maintenance devices are only suitable for specific vehicle models or battery types and cannot adapt to batteries of different sizes and shapes. This not only limits the versatility of maintenance equipment, but also increases maintenance costs and time. Therefore, this application provides an auxiliary device for the maintenance of new energy vehicle batteries. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a battery maintenance auxiliary device for new energy vehicles, which addresses the problems that manual flipping of batteries is not only time-consuming and laborious due to their large size and heavy weight, but also easily damages the batteries and makes maintenance equipment unable to adapt to batteries of different sizes and shapes.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A battery maintenance auxiliary device for new energy vehicles includes a base. Multiple support columns are fixedly connected to the top of the base. Adjustable columns are slidably connected within each of the support columns. A maintenance platform is fixedly connected to the top of each of the adjustable columns. A movable plate is symmetrically slidably connected to the top of the maintenance platform. A lifting mechanism is installed within each movable plate. A lifting plate is slidably arranged between two opposing movable plates. A clamping mechanism is installed inside each lifting plate. Clamping plates are symmetrically slidably arranged at the bottom of each lifting plate. A flipping mechanism is installed on one side of each clamping plate. A controller is located on one side of the maintenance platform. Multiple casters are installed at the bottom of the base.

[0008] Preferably, each of the two clamping plates has a fixed block rotatably mounted on its opposite surface, and each of the two fixed blocks has multiple moving slots on its opposite surface. Each of the multiple moving slots has a flexible abutment rod slidably connected to it, and each of the multiple moving slots has a spring. The two ends of the multiple springs are respectively fixedly connected to the inner wall of the moving slot and one end of the flexible abutment rod.

[0009] Preferably, the flipping mechanism includes a motor three fixedly connected to one side of one of the clamping plates, and two clamping plates are rotatably provided with Y-shaped blocks on the side near the fixed block. The output end of the motor three is fixedly connected to one end of one of the Y-shaped blocks, and the end of the Y-shaped block away from the motor three is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed block.

[0010] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes a slide groove formed on one side of two movable plates, a motor is fixedly connected in one of the slide grooves, a one-way lead screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, the one-way lead screw is rotatably connected in the movable plate, and connecting blocks are fixedly connected to both ends of the lifting plate, one of the connecting blocks being threadedly connected to the one-way lead screw.

[0011] Preferably, a guide rod is fixedly connected inside the movable plate opposite to the motor, and the end of the lifting plate away from the one-way lead screw is slidably connected to the guide rod.

[0012] Preferably, the clamping mechanism includes a bidirectional lead screw rotatably connected inside the lifting plate, a second motor fixedly connected to one side inside the lifting plate, the output end of the second motor fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional lead screw, a second guide rod fixedly connected inside the moving plate, the top ends of the two clamping plates being threadedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw, and the top ends of the two clamping plates being slidably connected to the second guide rod.

[0013] Preferably, guide grooves are provided on both sides of the interior of the plurality of support columns, and guide blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the plurality of adjustment columns, with the plurality of guide blocks slidably connected in the corresponding guide grooves.

[0014] Preferably, a hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected inside one of the support columns, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom of the adjustment column.

[0015] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial effects;

[0016] 1. This application includes a clamping mechanism and a flipping mechanism. By gradually approaching the clamping plate and flexible contact rod, the battery can be firmly clamped, preventing it from shifting due to external influences during maintenance. This also allows the maintenance device to adapt to batteries of different sizes and shapes, effectively improving the versatility and practicality of the maintenance equipment. As the starting motor drives the two fixed blocks to rotate, the battery can be rotated together, thereby enabling the inspection and maintenance of the back of the battery.

[0025] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 —5. The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0026] This application discloses an auxiliary device for battery maintenance in new energy vehicles.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A new energy vehicle battery maintenance auxiliary device includes a base 1, a plurality of support columns 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, an adjusting column 3 slidably connected inside each of the plurality of support columns 2, a maintenance platform 4 fixedly connected to the top of the plurality of adjusting columns 3, a movable plate 5 symmetrically slidably connected to the top of the maintenance platform 4, a lifting mechanism installed inside the movable plate 5, a lifting plate 6 slidably arranged between the two movable plates 5 facing each other, a clamping mechanism installed inside the lifting plate 6, a clamping plate 7 symmetrically slidably arranged at the bottom of the lifting plate 6, a flipping mechanism installed on one side of the clamping plate 7, a controller 8 arranged on one side of the maintenance platform 4, and a plurality of universal wheels 25 installed at the bottom of the base 1.

[0028] In use, first, place the battery to be tested on top of the repair table 4 using external equipment. Then, pull the two movable plates 5 across the surface of the repair table 4 until the lifting plate 6 is moved above the battery. At this point, the clamping mechanism inside the lifting plate 6 can be activated to move the two clamping plates 7 closer together, thereby clamping and fixing the battery on both sides to prevent it from moving due to external factors during testing. This allows the maintenance device to adapt to batteries of different sizes and shapes, effectively improving the versatility and practicality of the maintenance equipment. After the maintenance personnel have finished inspecting and repairing one side of the battery, the lifting mechanism can be activated to gradually raise the lifting plate 6. As the lifting plate 6 rises... The battery between the two clamping plates 7 will be raised together. When it is raised to the appropriate position, the flipping mechanism can be activated to rotate the battery and flip it horizontally. This allows for the inspection and maintenance of the back of the battery, effectively reducing manual operation, lowering labor intensity, avoiding manual battery flipping, reducing operational risks, and improving safety during maintenance. After the battery flipping is completed, the lifting mechanism can be used to reset the lifting plate 6 and the battery at the bottom, placing them back on the surface of the maintenance platform 4. During maintenance, the height of the adjusting column 3 can be adjusted according to the needs of the maintenance personnel, which can raise and lower the battery to better assist the maintenance personnel in performing maintenance operations.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The lifting mechanism includes a slide groove on one side of two movable plates 5. A motor 9 is fixedly connected in one of the slide grooves. A one-way screw 10 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 9. The one-way screw 10 is rotatably connected in the movable plate 5. Connecting blocks 11 are fixedly connected to both ends of the lifting plate 6. One of the connecting blocks 11 is threadedly connected to the one-way screw 10. A guide rod 12 is fixedly connected in the movable plate 5 opposite to the motor 9. The end of the lifting plate 6 away from the one-way screw 10 is slidably connected to the guide rod 12.

[0030] In use, first start motor 9 to drive the one-way lead screw 10 to rotate. The rotation of the one-way lead screw 10 will cause one of the connecting blocks 11 to gradually rise on the one-way lead screw 10. Since the connecting block 11 is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 6, the lifting plate 6 will rise together with the connecting block 11. At the same time, the end of the lifting plate 6 away from the one-way lead screw 10 will slide on the guide rod 12 to guide and limit the rise of the lifting plate 6, preventing the lifting plate 6 from deviating during the rise. When the lifting plate 6 rises to the appropriate position, turn off motor 9 to keep the lifting plate 6 in the current position, so that the height of the battery can be adjusted.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The clamping mechanism includes a bidirectional lead screw 13 rotatably connected inside the lifting plate 6. A motor 14 is fixedly connected to one side inside the lifting plate 6. The output end of the motor 14 is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional lead screw 13. A guide rod 15 is fixedly connected inside the moving plate 5. The top ends of the two clamping plates 7 are threaded to the bidirectional lead screw 13. The top ends of the two clamping plates 7 are slidably connected to the guide rod 15. Fixed blocks 16 are rotatably provided on the opposite surfaces of the two clamping plates 7. Multiple moving slots 17 are opened on the opposite surfaces of the two fixed blocks 16. Flexible abutment rods 18 are slidably connected in the multiple moving slots 17. Springs 19 are provided in the multiple moving slots 17. The two ends of the multiple springs 19 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the moving slot 17 and one end of the flexible abutment rod 18, respectively.

[0032] In use, motor 14 is first started to drive the bidirectional lead screw 13 to rotate. The rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 13 causes the tops of the two clamping plates 7 to move closer together on the lead screw 13. Simultaneously, guide rod 15 guides and limits the movement of the clamping plates 7, preventing them from shifting during this process. As the two clamping plates 7 move closer together, multiple flexible contact rods 18 on the opposite sides of the two fixed blocks 16 contact both ends of the battery. Under the elastic force of the spring 19, one end of the flexible contact rod 18 slides within the moving groove 17, ensuring that the other end of the flexible contact rod 18 remains in contact with the battery. The battery is tightly clamped by the clamping plate 7 and the flexible contact rods 18, preventing it from shifting due to external influences during maintenance. Since multiple flexible contact rods 18 are tightly fitted to the battery and can slide within the moving groove 17, they can maintain contact with the battery regardless of its specifications, further improving the adaptability and practicality of the device. Additionally, the elasticity of the spring 19 provides a buffering effect, preventing damage to the battery due to excessive force when clamping and fixing it, thus enhancing the safety of the device.

[0033] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The flipping mechanism includes a motor 20 fixedly connected to one side of one of the clamping plates 7. A Y-shaped block 21 is rotatably arranged on the side of the two clamping plates 7 near the fixing block 16. The output end of the motor 20 is fixedly connected to one end of one of the Y-shaped blocks 21, and the end of the Y-shaped block 21 away from the motor 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing block 16.

[0034] When in use, first start motor 20 to drive Y-shaped block 21 to rotate. At this time, the rotation of motor 20 will drive Y-shaped block 21 and fixed block 16 to rotate together. As the two fixed blocks 16 rotate, the battery will rotate together, thereby realizing the inspection and maintenance of the back of the battery. This effectively reduces manual operation, reduces labor intensity, avoids manual flipping of the battery, reduces operational risks, and improves safety during maintenance.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 Multiple support columns 2 have guide grooves 23 on both sides inside, and multiple adjustment columns 3 have guide blocks 24 fixedly connected to both sides. Multiple guide blocks 24 are slidably connected in the corresponding guide grooves 23. A hydraulic cylinder 22 is fixedly connected inside one of the support columns 2, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the adjustment column 3.

[0036] In use, the hydraulic cylinder 22 is first activated to drive the corresponding adjusting column 3 to rise and fall inside the support column 2. At this time, the sliding cooperation of the guide block 24 and the guide groove 23 can guide and limit the rise and fall of the adjusting column 3, preventing the adjusting column 3 from deviating during the rising and falling process. When the adjusting column 3 is adjusted to the appropriate height, the hydraulic cylinder 22 is closed, which can keep the adjusting column 3 in the current position. Thus, the height of the adjusting column 3 can be adjusted according to the needs of the maintenance personnel, thereby driving the battery to rise and fall, better assisting the maintenance personnel in maintenance operations, and increasing the practicality and flexibility of the device.

[0037] The implementation principle of this new energy vehicle battery maintenance auxiliary device is as follows: In use, the battery to be tested is first placed on top of the maintenance platform 4 using external equipment. Then, two movable plates 5 are pulled along the surface of the maintenance platform 4 until the lifting plate 6 moves above the battery. At this point, motor 14 is started to rotate the bidirectional lead screw 13. The rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 13 causes the tops of the two clamping plates 7 to move closer together on the lead screw 13. Simultaneously, guide rod 15 guides and limits the movement of the clamping plates 7, preventing them from shifting during the approach. As the two clamping plates 7 approach each other, multiple flexible contact rods 18 on the opposite sides of the two fixed blocks 16 contact both ends of the battery. Under the action of the spring 19's own elasticity... One end of the flexible contact rod 18 can be pushed to slide inside the moving groove 17, and the other end of the flexible contact rod 18 is always in close contact with the battery. In this way, the battery is firmly clamped by the clamping plate 7 and the flexible contact rod 18, which can prevent the battery from shifting due to external influences during maintenance. At the same time, since multiple flexible contact rods 18 are in close contact with the battery and can slide in the moving groove 17, the battery can be in contact with the battery regardless of its specifications and model, which further improves the adaptability and practicality of the device. Meanwhile, the elasticity of the spring 19 itself can also play a certain role in buffering and protecting the battery, preventing the clamping plate 7 and the flexible contact rod 18 from damaging the battery due to excessive force when clamping and fixing the battery, thus improving the safety of the device.

[0038] After the maintenance personnel have finished inspecting and repairing one side of the battery, they can first start motor 9 to drive the one-way lead screw 10 to rotate. The rotation of the one-way lead screw 10 will cause one of the connecting blocks 11 to gradually rise on the lead screw 10. Since the connecting block 11 is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 6, the lifting plate 6 will rise along with the connecting block 11. Simultaneously, the end of the lifting plate 6 away from the one-way lead screw 10 will slide on the guide rod 12, thus guiding and limiting the rise of the lifting plate 6 to prevent it from shifting during the ascent. When the lifting plate 6 reaches the appropriate position, motor 9 can be turned off to keep the lifting plate 6 in its current position. As the lifting plate 6 rises, it will also cause the battery between the two clamping plates 7 to rise. When it reaches the appropriate position, motor 20 can be started to drive the Y-shaped block 21 to rotate. The rotation of motor 20 will then cause the Y-shaped block 21 and the fixed block 16 to rotate together. The rotation of block 16 causes the battery to rotate as well, thereby enabling the inspection and maintenance of the back of the battery. This effectively reduces manual operation, lowers labor intensity, avoids manual battery flipping, reduces operational risks, and improves safety during maintenance. After the battery flipping is complete, the lifting mechanism can be used to reset the lifting plate 6 and the battery at the bottom, placing them back on the surface of the maintenance platform 4. During maintenance, the hydraulic cylinder 22 can be activated to push the corresponding adjusting column 3 up and down inside the support column 2. At this time, the sliding cooperation of the guide block 24 and the guide groove 23 can guide and limit the lifting of the adjusting column 3, preventing the adjusting column 3 from deviating during the lifting process. When the adjusting column 3 is adjusted to the appropriate height, the hydraulic cylinder 22 is closed, keeping the adjusting column 3 in its current position. The height of the adjusting column 3 can be adjusted according to the needs of the maintenance personnel, thereby driving the battery to rise and fall, better assisting the maintenance personnel in maintenance operations, and increasing the practicality and flexibility of the device.
