Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of battery cell transmission technology, specifically relating to a battery cell single-motor transmission device and transmission mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the photovoltaic industry, cell sorting machines are indispensable in automated production lines for producing solar cells. Most current mainstream technologies adopt a dual-cell transmission mechanism, in which solar cells are transported and sorted in pairs through symmetrically arranged conveyor belts or roller systems.

[0003] In existing technologies, several drive motors typically drive corresponding transmission modules, using belt linkage to synchronously transport battery cells to subsequent inspection or processing stations. However, with the continuous increase in production capacity requirements, when more transmission modules are added, a corresponding number of drive motors need to be increased. At the same time, more advanced multi-axis motion controllers, programming, and debugging are required to enable the synchronous operation of multiple drive motors, making the operation more complex and time-consuming.

[0004] Therefore, a single-motor transmission device and transmission mechanism for battery cells are designed to solve the technical problem of needing to spend more manpower and resources to solve the synchronous operation of multiple motors when expanding to multiple transmission stations in the existing technology.

[0026] With the rapid development of the photovoltaic industry, cell sorting machines are indispensable in automated production lines for producing solar cells. Most current mainstream technologies adopt a dual-cell transmission mechanism, in which solar cells are transported and sorted in pairs through symmetrically arranged conveyor belts or roller systems.

[0027] In existing technologies, several drive motors typically drive corresponding transmission modules, using belt linkage to synchronously transport battery cells to subsequent inspection or processing stations. However, with the continuous increase in production capacity requirements, when more transmission modules are added, a corresponding number of drive motors need to be increased. At the same time, more advanced multi-axis motion controllers, programming, and debugging are required to enable the synchronous operation of multiple drive motors, making the operation more complex and time-consuming.

[0028] Based on the above research, this disclosure provides a single-motor transmission device and transmission mechanism for battery cells. By setting up a plurality of transmission mechanisms and an independent drive motor connected to each transmission mechanism, when more transmission mechanisms are subsequently added, it is only necessary to connect the transmission belt in each transmission mechanism to the output end of the drive motor, and one drive motor controls multiple transmission belts to transmit the corresponding battery cells, ensuring synchronous transmission of each battery cell.

[0029] The shortcomings of the above solutions are the result of the inventor's practical experience and careful research. Therefore, the discovery process of the above problems and the solutions proposed in this disclosure should be considered as the inventor's contribution to this disclosure.

[0030] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0031] The following detailed description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0032] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, each transmission mechanism 3 contains two transmission belts 34. The operator places the battery cells 5 to be transmitted one by one on the upper surface of the two transmission belts 34 in the corresponding transmission mechanism 3. The operator can adjust the distance between the two horizontal placement frames 36 according to the size of the battery cells 5 to be transmitted, that is, adjust the distance between the two transmission belts 34 in each transmission mechanism 3, so that the two transmission belts 34 can support the battery cells of the corresponding size (the method of adjusting the distance between the two horizontal placement frames 36 is existing technology, such as using telescopic rods, etc., which will not be described in detail here). In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, after the battery cell 5 is placed, the operator starts the drive motor 20. Its output drives the drive wheel 23 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission wheel 24 and the drive shaft 22 fixed to the transmission wheel 24 to rotate via the drive belt 21. The rotation of the drive shaft 22 drives several active transmission wheels 30 fixed on its outer wall to rotate. Each active transmission wheel 30 drives its corresponding driven transmission wheel 33 to rotate via a corresponding belt 31. Figure 2 As shown, when the driven transmission wheel 33 rotates, it drives the transmission roller 32 fixed thereto to rotate, which in turn drives the two support wheels 35 fixed thereto to rotate. The two ends of the transmission roller 32 are respectively inserted into the two horizontal placement frames 36 and connected to the bearings of the two horizontal placement frames 36. During the rotation of the two support wheels 35, they drive the corresponding transmission belts 34 to rotate, thereby transmitting the battery cells 5 placed on the upper surface of the two transmission belts 34.

[0033] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3As shown, the interior of the waist-shaped hole 430 has a step (not shown in the figure) that abuts against the bolt head plane of the tightening bolt 431. Therefore, when the tightening bolt 431 is rotated and inserted into the horizontal placement frame 36, the moving part 40 is brought close to the horizontal placement frame 36. During the transfer of the battery cell 5, when the operator finds that the conveyor belt 34 is loose, the tightening bolt 431 is rotated first to separate the moving part 40 from the horizontal placement frame 36. Then, the adjusting screw 42 is rotated. Since the outer wall of the adjusting screw 42 is connected to the bearing of the fixing part 41, the threaded end of the adjusting screw 42 engages with the thread of the moving part 40. Therefore, during the rotation of the adjusting screw 42, the moving part 40 is pushed. The moving part 40 moves along the transmission direction of the conveyor belt 34. Since one end of the support rod 432 is fixed to the moving part 40 and the other end is fitted with a ball bearing 433, and the ball bearing 433 is installed in the support wheel 35, the support rod 432 moves with the moving part 40, driving the ball bearing 433 to push the support wheel 35 to move along the transmission direction of the conveyor belt 34, thereby making the currently slack conveyor belt 34 re-tensioned. After the conveyor belt 34 is re-tensioned, the operator rotates the tensioning bolt 431 in the opposite direction to screw it back into the horizontal placement frame 36, so that the moving part 40 is once again in contact with the horizontal placement frame 36 and stationary.

[0034] In another feasible implementation, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when the size of the battery cell 5 to be transmitted is small, the following method is used: Figure 4 The transmission mechanism 3 shown includes a horizontal placement frame 36. Each horizontal placement frame 36 has a support wheel 35 connected to both ends by bearings. A transmission belt 34 is sleeved on the outer wall of the two support wheels 35. Small-sized battery cells 5 are placed on the corresponding single transmission belt 34 for transmission, so as to avoid the gap between the two transmission belts 34 affecting the transmission stability of the battery cells 5 when using two transmission belts 34 to transmit small-sized battery cells 5.

[0035] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; 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; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0036] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, 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, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, terms such as "first," "second," and other numerical terms used herein do not imply order or sequence unless expressly indicated herein. Therefore, without departing from the teachings of the exemplary embodiments, the first element, component, region, layer, or segment discussed above may be referred to as the second element, component, region, layer, or segment.

[0037] Spatially relative terms, such as “inside,” “outside,” “below,” “below,” “down,” “above,” “up,” etc., may be used herein to describe the relationship between one element or feature illustrated in the figures and another element or feature. In addition to the orientations depicted in the figures, spatially relative terms may be intended to cover different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the figure is flipped, an element described as “below” or “below” other elements or features would be oriented as “above” other elements or features. Thus, the example term “below” can cover both above and below orientations. The device may be oriented in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptors used herein are interpreted accordingly.

[0038] In the above discussion, unless otherwise stated, when used to describe numerical values, the terms “about,” “approximately,” “basically,” etc., indicate a change of + / - 10% in that value.

[0039] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
