Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lithium battery technology, specifically to a height-adjustable receiving compartment. Background Technology

[0002] In the lithium-ion battery industry, the receiving compartment is a crucial component for ensuring the cleanliness of materials during the production process. Its core function relies on internally configured filters to filter impurities from the materials, preventing them from entering subsequent processes and affecting the quality of lithium-ion battery products. To ensure the filters maintain optimal filtration performance and prevent impurity buildup that could lead to decreased filtration efficiency or equipment blockage, regularly removing and cleaning or replacing the filters from the receiving compartment has become an essential part of the daily operation and maintenance of such compartments.

[0003] However, existing receiving compartments generally suffer from the limitation of being too large in size. Coupled with the overall layout requirements of lithium-ion battery production, the receiving compartment usually needs to be installed at a high position to fit the space planning of the production line. This situation directly leads to operators having to work at heights to access the receiving compartment and remove the filters during filter cleaning and maintenance. This not only makes the operation extremely cumbersome and inconvenient, increasing the labor intensity of maintenance personnel, but also introduces safety risks such as falls due to the nature of working at heights. Furthermore, it prolongs the time required for filter maintenance, reduces the overall maintenance efficiency of the production process, and fails to meet the actual needs of lithium-ion battery production for convenient, safe, and efficient equipment maintenance.

It flexibly adapts to the operating habits of different operators, enabling maintenance work to be carried out even in scenarios without external power, thus enhancing the device's practicality and adaptability.

[0013] In one alternative embodiment, the receiving compartment includes a cover plate, a frame, and a filter element; the cover plate covers the top of the frame, and the inside of the frame forms a cavity for accommodating the filter element, the filter element is detachably installed in the cavity, and the outer periphery of the filter element is adapted to fit the inner wall of the frame.

[0014] Beneficial effects: The cover plate, when closed on the top of the frame, ensures the airtightness of the receiving chamber, preventing internal material leakage or external impurities from entering, thus guaranteeing the normal function of the receiving chamber; the frame cavity fits snugly to the outer periphery of the filter element, ensuring the filtration effect of the filter element and reducing material residue; and the detachable design of the filter element, combined with the height-adjustable feature of the receiving chamber, allows operators to easily remove the filter element for cleaning after the receiving chamber is lowered to a suitable height, eliminating the need for working at height, simplifying the filter element disassembly and assembly process, shortening cleaning time, and improving the maintenance efficiency and cleanliness of the filtration system.

[0015] In one optional embodiment, the planar transmission part and the lifting transmission part are meshing structures of a worm gear and a screw; the lifting part is a lead screw with external threads on its outer circumference, which drives the worm gear to rotate so as to drive the lead screw to move up and down in the vertical direction.

[0016] Beneficial effects: The worm gear and worm gear meshing structure is used as the transmission part, and the externally threaded screw is used as the lifting part. The worm gear meshing has the characteristics of stable transmission ratio and strong self-locking, which can effectively prevent the receiving chamber from sliding down on its own after being adjusted to the target height, ensuring the stability of the receiving chamber position during the cleaning operation and avoiding safety hazards. The screw with external threads on the outer circumference can achieve precise vertical lifting and lowering, and can adjust the receiving chamber to the optimal operating height according to the filter cleaning requirements, improving the accuracy of height adjustment. At the same time, the worm gear transmission process is smooth and has low noise, which can optimize the working environment of operators and further improve the experience and safety of maintenance operations.

[0017] In one alternative embodiment, the cover plate and the frame are detachably connected, and a connecting member is provided between the edge of the cover plate and the top edge of the frame.

[0018] Beneficial effects: The detachable connection between the cover and the frame, along with the edge connecting components, ensures the firmness and sealing of the connection between the cover and the frame, preventing material leakage due to cover loosening during normal use of the receiving chamber. Furthermore, the detachable design, combined with the connecting components, simplifies the disassembly and assembly of the cover, allowing operators to quickly open or close it without the need for complex tools. After the receiving chamber is lowered to the appropriate height, the filter element can be more easily removed for cleaning, further shortening maintenance time, improving operational convenience, and reducing maintenance costs.

[0019] In one alternative embodiment, a mounting base for mounting a transmission unit is fixedly provided on the support platform, and the two ends of the worm gear in the transmission unit are rotatably mounted between the two side walls of the mounting base via bearings.

[0020] Beneficial effects: A mounting base for installing the transmission unit is set on the bearing platform, and the two ends of the worm gear are rotatably mounted on the side walls of the mounting base via bearings.

At the same time, the bearings reduce the frictional resistance during worm gear rotation, making the worm gear rotate more smoothly, reducing component wear, extending the service life of the lifting mechanism, ensuring long-term stable operation of the transmission unit, and providing a guarantee for the reliable lifting of the receiving bin.

[0021] In one alternative embodiment, the receiving compartment is provided with a connecting plate, which is connected to the lifting unit to enable the receiving compartment to lift.

[0022] Beneficial effects: By installing a connecting plate on the receiving compartment to connect with the lifting unit, the connection area between the receiving compartment and the lifting unit can be increased, allowing the power transmitted by the lifting unit to be applied to the receiving compartment more evenly. This avoids excessive local stress caused by the direct connection between the lifting unit and the receiving compartment, which could lead to deformation or damage to the receiving compartment. The connecting plate also improves the firmness of the connection between the receiving compartment and the lifting unit, preventing the receiving compartment from separating from the lifting unit during the lifting process. This ensures the synchronicity and stability of the lifting action of the receiving compartment, protects the structural integrity of the receiving compartment, and extends the overall service life of the device.

[0023] In one alternative embodiment, the connection between the lifting part and the connecting plate is located at the four corner edges of the connecting plate.

[0029] In the field of lithium-ion batteries, the receiving compartment is an important equipment component that ensures the cleanliness of materials in the production process. Its core filtration function relies on the internally configured filter element. By intercepting impurities in the materials, the filter element can effectively prevent impurities from entering subsequent processes and adversely affecting the quality of lithium-ion battery products. In order to ensure that the filter element always maintains good filtration performance and prevents the filtration efficiency from decreasing or the equipment from clogging due to the accumulation of impurities, it has become an essential operation in the daily operation and maintenance of such receiving compartments. However, the receiving compartments in existing technologies are generally too large. In lithium-ion battery production scenarios, due to the overall layout requirements of the equipment, the receiving compartments usually need to be installed at a high position to adapt to the space planning of the production line. This directly results in operators having to work at heights to access the receiving compartments and remove the filters when carrying out filter cleaning and maintenance. This not only makes the entire operation process extremely cumbersome and inconvenient, greatly increasing the labor intensity of maintenance personnel, but also brings safety risks such as falls due to the special nature of working at heights. It also prolongs the time spent on filter maintenance and reduces the overall maintenance efficiency of the production process, making it difficult to meet the actual needs of lithium-ion battery production for convenient, safe, and efficient equipment maintenance.

[0030] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 4 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.

[0031] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a height-adjustable receiving compartment is provided, comprising: a carrying platform; a receiving compartment disposed on the carrying platform, the receiving compartment being connected to the carrying platform via a lifting assembly; the lifting assembly comprising a transmission part and a lifting part, the transmission part being installed on the carrying platform, one end of the lifting part being in transmission cooperation with the transmission part, and the other end being fixedly connected to the receiving compartment, wherein the lifting part drives the receiving compartment to move synchronously by driving the transmission part to operate.

[0032] The receiving chamber is stably supported by a carrying platform, and the transmission mechanism in the lifting assembly allows for synchronous lifting and lowering of the chamber. This effectively solves the problem of existing receiving chambers requiring high-altitude operations for filter cleaning due to their large size. It eliminates the need for operators to work at heights, allowing the receiving chamber to be adjusted to a convenient cleaning height, significantly reducing operational risks, improving the convenience and efficiency of filter cleaning, and ensuring the safety and feasibility of daily maintenance operations.

[0033] In one embodiment, combined Figure 1As shown, the lifting assembly also includes a connecting part. The transmission part includes a planar transmission part and a lifting transmission part, which are connected by the connecting part. By setting the connecting part in the lifting assembly, the planar transmission part and the lifting transmission part are connected, which optimizes the power transmission path, reduces power loss during transmission, and ensures that power can be stably and efficiently transmitted from the planar transmission part to the lifting transmission part. This ensures the stability of the receiving chamber during lifting and lowering, avoids tilting or jamming of the receiving chamber due to uneven power transmission, further improves the reliability of height adjustment, and provides a stable guarantee for the safe operation of subsequent filter cleaning.

[0034] Furthermore, at least one lifting unit is provided, and these lifting units are evenly distributed along the circumference of the receiving bin, with each unit fixedly connected to the bottom or side wall of the receiving bin. Ensuring the lifting units are evenly distributed along the circumference of the receiving bin and fixed to its bottom or side wall ensures balanced force distribution during lifting, preventing deformation or displacement due to excessive localized stress. Even with a large receiving bin or carrying a certain amount of material, the evenly distributed lifting units provide stable support and lifting power, ensuring the receiving bin remains stable. This protects the structural integrity of the receiving bin, improves safety during height adjustment, and adapts to the needs of receiving bins of different specifications, expanding the applicability of the device.

[0035] In practical applications, four or more lifting units can be set according to the volume, weight and other factors of the receiving compartment. The lifting units are evenly distributed along the circumference of the receiving compartment, such as evenly distributed in a circle or rectangle. At the same time, the lifting units are fixedly connected to the bottom or side wall of the receiving compartment. The fixing method can be welding, bolt connection or snap-fit ​​connection.

[0036] It is worth noting that, combined with Figure 1 As shown, the lifting assembly also includes a handwheel, which is connected to the planar transmission unit. The handwheel, connected to the planar transmission unit, allows for manual operation, eliminating the need for complex electric or pneumatic power equipment and reducing manufacturing and maintenance costs. Operators can drive the planar transmission unit by turning the handwheel, thus controlling the lifting and lowering of the receiving compartment. The operation is simple and intuitive, and the height of the receiving compartment can be precisely adjusted according to actual cleaning needs, flexibly adapting to the operating habits of different operators. Even in scenarios without external power, maintenance work can be carried out normally, improving the practicality and adaptability of the device.

[0037] The handwheel can be equipped with anti-slip textures or a rubber sleeve for easy gripping by operators, and can also be marked with scales for precise control of the lifting height. By incorporating a handwheel connected to the planar transmission unit within the lifting assembly, a manual drive system is implemented, eliminating the need for additional complex electric or pneumatic power equipment. This not only reduces manufacturing and daily maintenance costs but also minimizes reliance on external energy sources.

[0038] In one embodiment, the receiving chamber includes a cover plate, a frame, and a filter element. The cover plate closes to the top of the frame, and the interior of the frame forms a cavity for accommodating the filter element. The filter element is detachably installed within this cavity, and its outer periphery fits snugly against the inner wall of the frame. The cover plate's fit ensures the receiving chamber's airtightness, preventing internal material leakage or external impurities from entering, thus guaranteeing the normal function of the receiving chamber. The fit between the frame cavity and the outer periphery of the filter element ensures the filter element's filtration effect and reduces material residue. The detachable design of the filter element, combined with the height-adjustable feature of the receiving chamber, allows operators to easily remove the filter element for cleaning after the receiving chamber is lowered to a suitable height, eliminating the need for working at height. This simplifies the filter element removal and installation process, shortens cleaning time, and improves the maintenance efficiency and cleanliness of the filtration system.

[0039] In one embodiment, combined Figure 1 As shown, specifically, the planar transmission unit and the lifting transmission unit are meshing structures of a worm gear and a turbine; the lifting unit is a screw with external threads on its outer circumference, which drives the worm gear to rotate, thereby driving the screw to move up and down in the vertical direction. Using a meshing structure of a worm gear and a turbine as the transmission unit and an externally threaded screw as the lifting unit, the worm gear meshing has the characteristics of stable transmission ratio and strong self-locking, effectively preventing the receiving chamber from sliding down on its own after being adjusted to the target height, ensuring the stability of the receiving chamber position during cleaning operations, and avoiding safety hazards; the externally threaded screw can achieve precise vertical lifting and lowering, and can adjust the receiving chamber to the optimal operating height according to the filter element cleaning requirements, improving the accuracy of height adjustment; at the same time, the worm gear transmission process is smooth and has low noise, which can optimize the working environment of operators and further improve the experience and safety of maintenance operations.

[0040] In one embodiment, the cover and frame are detachably connected, and a connecting member is provided between the edge of the cover and the top edge of the frame. The detachable connection between the cover and the frame, along with the edge connecting member, ensures the robustness and sealing of the connection between the cover and the frame, preventing material leakage due to cover loosening during normal use of the receiving chamber. Furthermore, the detachable design, combined with the connecting member, simplifies the disassembly and assembly of the cover, allowing operators to quickly open or close it without the need for complex tools.

[0041] In one embodiment, a mounting base for installing the transmission unit is fixedly provided on the support platform. The two ends of the worm gear in the transmission unit are rotatably mounted between the two side walls of the mounting base via bearings. The mounting base provides stable support for the worm gear, preventing positional displacement during transmission, ensuring precise meshing between the worm and the worm, and avoiding power transmission failures due to poor meshing. Simultaneously, the bearings reduce frictional resistance during worm rotation, making it smoother, reducing component wear, extending the service life of the lifting mechanism, and ensuring long-term stable operation of the transmission unit, thus guaranteeing reliable lifting of the receiving compartment.

[0042] In one embodiment, the receiving compartment is equipped with a connecting plate that connects to the lifting mechanism to enable the receiving compartment to move up and down. By providing a connecting plate on the receiving compartment to connect with the lifting mechanism, the connection area between the receiving compartment and the lifting mechanism can be increased, allowing the power transmitted by the lifting mechanism to be applied to the receiving compartment more evenly. This avoids excessive local stress caused by the direct connection between the lifting mechanism and the receiving compartment, which could lead to deformation or damage to the receiving compartment.
