Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery manufacturing technology, and in particular to a lifting and reversing device and a battery pack production line. Background Technology
[0002] During the production process of a battery pack, several individual battery cells need to be assembled together, and series and parallel connections between the individual battery cells are achieved by installing busbars and other components.
[0003] The battery pack manufacturing process often involves manual installation steps, such as manually installing busbars on both sides of the battery pack. Current technology requires removing the battery pack using vacuum suction or hoisting to place it in a designated location, where workers then install the busbar assemblies. However, the battery pack is prone to falling during transport, and the busbar installation needs to be done on both sides of the pack, requiring two people to operate simultaneously, resulting in high labor costs.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a lifting and reversing device and a battery pack production line to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] One objective of this invention is to provide a lifting and reversing device that can lift and reverse the battery pack without moving it, thereby facilitating the sequential installation of busbars on both sides of the battery pack.
[0006] Another objective of this invention is to provide a battery pack production line that reduces the risk of battery packs falling, and the installation of the busbars can be completed by only one person.
[0007] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] The lifting and reversing device includes:
[0009] A conveying mechanism for transporting a pallet on which items to be operated are placed;
[0010] A lifting mechanism is disposed between the aforementioned conveying mechanisms and includes a first driving member, a first plate, and a second plate. The second plate is rotatably connected to the first plate, and the first plate is connected to the output end of the first driving member. The first driving member can drive the first plate to move in a vertical direction, and the second plate is used to lift the pallet from the conveying mechanism.
[0011] As an alternative, one of the first plate and the second plate is provided with a guide member, and the other plate is provided with a first guide groove. The first guide groove is arc-shaped and centered on the rotation center of the second plate. At least part of the guide member slides in the first guide groove.
[0012] As an optional solution, the central angle corresponding to the first guide groove is 180°.
[0013] As an alternative, the second plate is provided with a number of positioning elements on one side of the first plate, and the tray is provided with a number of positioning slots or positioning holes, and the positioning elements can be inserted into the positioning slots or positioning holes one by one.
[0014] As an alternative, the second plate has a number of pads on the side opposite to the first plate in the circumferential direction. The number of pads are used to support the tray together, and the positioning element is protruded on two pads located diagonally opposite to the first plate.
[0015] As an optional solution, the aforementioned conveying mechanism is provided with a sensor located below the aforementioned first plate. The aforementioned bearing component has a clearance groove corresponding to the aforementioned sensor. The aforementioned tray has a sensing code located at a position facing the aforementioned clearance groove. The aforementioned sensor is used to sense the sensing code on the aforementioned tray through the aforementioned clearance groove and communicate with the aforementioned first driving component.
[0016] As an optional solution, a limiting mechanism is also included, located downstream of the lifting mechanism. This limiting mechanism includes:
[0017] The second drive unit is mounted on the worktable;
[0018] A limiting component is installed at the output end of the second driving member. The second driving member is communicatively connected to the sensing member and can drive the limiting component to move in the vertical direction. The limiting component is used to abut against the tray.
[0019] As an optional solution, the aforementioned limiting component includes:
[0020] The fixing component is fixedly connected to the output end of the second driving component mentioned above;
[0021] The abutment is pivotally connected to the fixing member in the middle. One end of the abutment can abut against the side of the tray, and the other end of the abutment is buffered and engaged with the output end of the fixing member or the second drive member.
[0022] As an alternative, one end of the aforementioned abutment is pivotally connected to a roller, which is used to abut against the aforementioned tray.
[0023] The battery pack production line includes the aforementioned lifting and reversing device.
[0024] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0025] This utility model provides a lifting and reversing device. When the tray reaches above the second plate from the conveying mechanism, the first driving component drives the bearing assembly to rise.

[0039] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.
[0040] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components.

They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.
[0043] This embodiment provides a lifting and reversing device that can lift and reverse the battery pack 300 without moving it, facilitating the sequential installation of busbars on both sides of the battery pack 300. Figures 1-4 As shown, the lifting and reversing device includes a conveying mechanism 30 and a lifting mechanism 20. The conveying mechanism 30 is used to transport a pallet 200, on which an operable item is placed. The lifting mechanism 20 is disposed between the conveying mechanisms 30 and includes a first driving member 21, a first plate 221, and a second plate 222. The second plate 222 is rotatably connected to the first plate 221. The first plate 221 is connected to the output end of the first driving member 21. The first driving member 21 can drive the first plate 221 to move vertically. The second plate 222 is used to lift the pallet 200 from the conveying mechanism 30. For example, the operable item is a battery pack 300.
[0044] In the aforementioned lifting and reversing device, when the tray 200 reaches above the second plate 222 from the conveying mechanism 30, the first driving component 21 drives the bearing assembly 22 to rise. At this time, the second plate 222 lifts the tray 200 away from the conveying mechanism 30. The operator performs unilateral operation on the battery pack 300. After the busbar on that side is installed, the operator rotates the second plate 222 or the tray 200. The second plate 222 drives the tray 200 and the battery pack 300 to rotate together, completing the reversing of the battery pack 300. The operator can then install the busbar on the other side of the battery pack 300. In this process, no other rotary driving components are needed, which also saves the use of expensive parts.
[0045] Optionally, one of the first plate 221 and the second plate 222 is provided with a guide member 23, and the other plate is provided with a first guide groove 2211. The first guide groove 2211 is arc-shaped and centered on the rotation center of the second plate 222. At least part of the guide member 23 slides in the first guide groove 2211. During rotation, due to the provision of the guide member 23, the guide member 23 slides in the first guide groove 2211, so that the second plate 222 rotates precisely along the arc of the first guide groove 2211 relative to the first plate 221. Moreover, the two ends of the first guide groove 2211 can provide two extreme limiting positions for the rotation of the guide member 23, so that the second plate 222 can stop at a preset position.
[0046] In this embodiment, the guide member 23 is connected to the side of the second plate 222 facing the first plate 221, and the first guide groove 2211 is formed on the first plate 221. Depending on the required turning angle, the first guide groove 2211 with different central angles can be selected.
[0047] In this embodiment, busbars need to be installed on opposite sides of the battery pack 300, so the first guide groove 2211 is set to be arc-shaped and the corresponding central angle is 180°.
[0048] In other embodiments, if corresponding operations are required on the adjacent sides of the battery pack 300, the central angle corresponding to the first guide groove 2211 can be 90°, which is not limited here.
[0049] Optionally, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in order to achieve a rotatable connection between the second plate 222 and the first plate 221, the first plate 221 and the second plate 222 are connected by a connector 223. One end of the connector 223 is fixedly connected to the first plate 221, and the other end of the connector 223 is connected to a bearing 224. The bearing 224 is embedded in the second plate 222, thereby achieving a rotatable connection between the second plate 222 and the first plate 221.
[0050] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first plate 221, the second plate 222, and the connector 223 together form the support assembly 22. A first guide post 24 is connected to the support assembly 22, extending vertically. A guide sleeve is provided on the worktable 10 corresponding to the first guide post 24, and the guide sleeve slides in engagement with the first guide post 24 to ensure precise vertical movement of the support assembly 22. It should be noted that the worktable 10 here is a work surface for installing other parts.
[0051] Optionally, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, the second plate 222 has several positioning elements 225 on the side opposite to the first plate 221, and the tray 200 has several positioning slots or positioning holes 210. The positioning elements 225 can be inserted into the positioning slots or positioning holes 210 one by one. In this embodiment, the tray 200 has positioning holes 210. In other embodiments, the positioning holes 210 can be replaced by positioning slots, which is not limited here. Thus, during the rising of the second plate 222, the positioning elements 225 are inserted into the positioning holes 210, so that the tray 200 and the second plate 222 cannot have relative displacement in the plane. On the one hand, the operation is more stable. On the other hand, during the rotation, it is ensured that the second plate 222 and the tray 200 rotate synchronously, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the reversing angle of the tray 200.
[0052] Optionally, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the second plate 222, on the side opposite to the first plate 221, has several pads 226 arranged circumferentially. These pads 226 collectively support the tray 200. Positioning elements 225 protrude from the two pads 226 located diagonally opposite the first plate 221. Therefore, when the second plate 222 supports the tray 200, the pads 226 create a certain gap between the bottom surface of the tray 200 and the second plate 222, preventing direct contact between the tray 200 and the second plate 222 and thus avoiding wear on the bottom surface of the tray 200, thereby extending the service life of the tray 200. Simultaneously, the positioning elements 225 at the two corners ensure better positioning by positioning them at their furthest distance from the tray 200. In this embodiment, six pads 226 are provided. In other embodiments, the number of pads 226 can be appropriately increased or decreased depending on the size of the second plate 222.
[0053] Optionally, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a sensor 32 is provided on the conveying mechanism 30, located below the first plate 221. The first plate 221 and the second plate 222 have corresponding clearance grooves 227 for the sensor 32. The sensor 32 is used to sense the tray 200 and communicate with the first drive member 21. It can be understood that after the tray 200 is conveyed to the designated position on the conveying mechanism 30, the sensor 32 senses that the tray 200 has arrived at its position, the conveying stops, and the first drive member 21 can then extend.
[0054] Optionally, the sensing element 32 is a photoelectric sensor with high sensitivity.
[0055] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the conveying mechanism 30 consists of two spaced-apart conveying components 31, and the lifting mechanism 20 is located between the two conveying components 31. The conveying components 31 are conveyor belts or conveyor wheels, which are common in the prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0056] Optionally, such as Figures 5-6 As shown, the lifting and reversing device also includes a limiting mechanism 40, which is located downstream of the lifting mechanism 20. The limiting mechanism 40 includes a second driving member 41 and a limiting component 42. The second driving member 41 is mounted on the worktable 10, and the limiting component 42 is mounted on the output end of the second driving member 41. The second driving member 41 is communicatively connected to the sensor 32 and can drive the limiting component 42 to move vertically. Thus, when the sensor 32 senses that the tray 200 is in position, the second driving member 41 extends, and the tray 200 abuts against the limiting component 42 to limit the tray 200 from continuing to be transported downstream, preventing the conveying mechanism 30 from stopping in time and causing misalignment between the tray 200 and the second plate 222.
[0057] Optionally, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the limiting component 42 includes a fixing member 421 and an abutment member 422. The fixing member 421 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second driving member 41. The middle part of the abutment member 422 is pivotally connected to the fixing member 421. One end of the abutment member 422 can abut against the side of the tray 200, and the other end of the abutment member 422 is buffered in cooperation with the output end of the fixing member 421 or the second driving member 41. Through the above arrangement, a hard collision is prevented when the abutment member 422 contacts the tray 200, thereby preventing damage to the tray 200.
[0058] Optionally, in order to achieve a buffered fit between the abutment 422 and the output end of the fixing member 421 or the second driving member 41, an elastic member 424 is provided between the other end of the abutment 422 and the output end of the fixing member 421 or the second driving member 41.
[0059] Optionally, the elastic element 424 can be a spring, with its two ends connected to the end of the abutment 422 and the fixing element 421, respectively.
[0060] Optionally, in this embodiment, the fixing member 421 is U-shaped, and the upper side of the base plate of the fixing member 421 is used to connect with the elastic member 424. In another embodiment, if the fixing member 421 is only configured as a connecting arm for pivotal connection with the abutment member 422, the elastic member 424 can be directly connected to the output end of the second driving member 41, which is not limited here.
[0061] Optionally, such as Figure 6 As shown, a roller 423 is pivotally connected to one end of the abutment member 422. During the process of the pallet 200 rising or falling with the second plate 222, the roller 423 contacts the pallet 200, and the two are in rolling friction to prevent the pallet 200 from being worn.
[0062] Optionally, such as Figure 6 As shown, a second guide groove 4211 is provided on the fixing member 421. The second guide groove 4211 extends in the vertical direction. A second guide post 43 is installed on the worktable 10. The second guide post 43 slides with the second guide groove 4211, thereby ensuring that when the output end of the second driving member 41 extends, the fixing member 421 moves accurately in the vertical direction.
[0063] This embodiment also provides a battery pack production line, including the aforementioned lifting and reversing device. By employing the aforementioned lifting and reversing device, the risk of the battery pack 300 falling is reduced, and the installation of the busbar can be completed by only one person.
[0064] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
