Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery cell processing technology, specifically to an automatic battery cell loading and unloading device. Background Technology

[0002] Two conductors placed close together, with a non-conductive insulating medium sandwiched between them, constitute a battery cell. When a voltage is applied between the two plates of the battery cell, it stores electrical charge. The charge capacity of a battery cell is numerically equal to the ratio of the charge on one conductive plate to the voltage between the two plates. With the rapid development of electronic information technology, the increasingly fast pace of digital electronic product upgrades, the expanding market prospects of new energy sources, and the widespread application of battery cells in power, communications, and other fields, the market demand for battery cell components will continue to grow.

[0003] During the automated processing of battery cells, an automatic loading and unloading device is needed to grip and release the cells. Existing automatic loading and unloading devices use two different drive mechanisms to move two grippers for loading and unloading. The existing device first uses one drive mechanism to move one gripper for unloading, and then uses the other drive mechanism to move the other gripper for loading. In this unloading and loading process, the two grippers do not operate synchronously, resulting in pauses. This not only complicates the overall structure but also makes debugging and maintenance difficult. Furthermore, the use of two drive mechanisms makes the loading and unloading process time-consuming, impacting production efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to further improve the structure of the existing automatic battery cell loading and unloading device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic battery cell loading and unloading device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] By adopting the above technical solution, the structure of the automatic battery cell loading and unloading device is simplified, the stability of the device is ensured, and the time required for loading and unloading is reduced.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: A second driving mechanism and a connecting member are connected between the first and second slides. The second driving mechanism and the connecting member enable the first driving mechanism to drive the second slide to slide back and forth synchronously with the first slide. This allows the first and second slides to move laterally back and forth simultaneously via a single first driving mechanism, and the second driving mechanism to drive the second slide laterally back and forth independently. Combined with the clamping components on both the first and second slides for gripping the battery cells, this achieves an automatic loading and unloading process for the battery cells. It only requires the drive of the first and second driving mechanisms, resulting in a simple overall structure and easier debugging and maintenance. The synchronous movement also reduces the time required for loading and unloading, ensuring the stability of the automatic loading and unloading process and improving production efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0009] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0010] Please see Figure 1-2 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic battery cell loading and unloading device, including a bracket 10, a first slide 20, a first drive mechanism 30, a second slide 40, and a second drive mechanism 52.

[0011] The module 10 is provided with a laterally extending slide rail 11, and the module 10 is mounted on an external device. The first slide block 20 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 11. The first drive mechanism 30 is mounted on the module 10 and drives the first slide block 20 to slide. The second slide block 40 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 11. The second drive mechanism 52 is connected between the first slide block 20 and the second slide block 40. Thus, the first drive mechanism 30 drives the second slide block 40 to slide back and forth synchronously with the first slide block 20 through the second drive mechanism 52. The second drive mechanism can drive the second slide block to move back and forth laterally independently. Compared with the existing technical solutions, only the first drive mechanism 30 and the second drive mechanism 52 are needed to realize the synchronous movement of the first slide block 20 and the second slide block 40. This not only simplifies the structure and makes maintenance and debugging more convenient, but also reduces the time required for loading and unloading, ensures the stability of automatic loading and unloading, and improves production efficiency.

[0012] In this embodiment, the connector 50 includes a mounting plate 51 and a second drive mechanism 52. The mounting plate 51 is disposed on the first slide 20, and one end of the second drive mechanism 52 is fixedly mounted on the first slide 20. The output end of the second drive mechanism 52 is connected to the second slide 40. The second drive mechanism 52 is used to adjust the distance between the first slide 20 and the second slide 40, waiting for the material clamps that have completed loading and unloading to switch positions with the material clamps to be loaded and unloaded, thereby automatically loading and unloading the next row of battery cells. The second drive mechanism 52 is a cylinder, and the second slide 40 is provided with a connecting part 41 connected to the output end of the second drive mechanism 52.

[0013] Both the first slide 20 and the second slide 40 are equipped with clamping assemblies 60 for gripping battery cells. In this embodiment, the clamping assembly 60 includes a clamping drive mechanism 61 and clamping plates 62. The clamping drive mechanism 61 is disposed on the corresponding first slide 20 and second slide 40. Each clamping drive mechanism 61 is provided with two clamping plates 62. The two clamping plates 62 are driven to open and close by the corresponding clamping drive mechanism 61, thereby gripping and releasing the battery cell. The lower end of each clamping plate 62 protrudes towards the other clamping plate 62 with a clamping part 63. A laterally extending silicone strip 64 is embedded in the outer wall of the clamping part 63. The silicone strip 64 is used to grip the leads of the battery cell, thereby ensuring that the leads of the battery cell are not damaged during the gripping process, which would ultimately affect the quality of the battery cell.

[0014] The second slide 40 is provided with a movable seat 42 and an adjustment drive mechanism 43. The movable seat 42 is movably mounted on the second slide 40, and the adjustment drive mechanism 43 is mounted on the second slide 40 and drives the movable seat 42 to move up and down. The corresponding clamping assembly 60 is mounted on the movable seat 42 and moves up and down with the movable seat 42, thereby adjusting the clamping position of the battery cell. Similarly, the movable seat 42 and the adjustment drive mechanism 43 can also be mounted on the first slide 20, thereby realizing the synchronous adjustment of the position of the clamping assembly 60 on the first slide 20 and the second slide 40.

[0015] The present invention is as follows: Figure 1 The clamping assemblies 60 on the first slide 20 and the second slide 40 are in their initial positions. The clamping assemblies 60 on the first slide 20 are positioned directly above the external conveying mechanism to grip the battery cells to be loaded, and the clamping assemblies 60 on the second slide 40 are positioned directly above the external clamps to grip the battery cells to be unloaded. The external clamps are arranged in multiple rows. The clamping assemblies 60 on the first slide 20 and the second slide 40 grip the battery cells synchronously. The first drive mechanism 30 drives the first slide 20 to slide and the second slide 40 to slide laterally synchronously. When the clamping assemblies 60 on the first slide 20 are positioned directly above the external clamps to release the battery cells, the second drive mechanism 52 drives the second slide 40 to release the battery cells. The position between the second slide 40 and the first slide 20 drives the clamping assembly 60 on the second slide 40 to the external feeding position to feed materials. The first drive mechanism 30 drives the first slide 20 to slide and slide laterally in sync with the second slide 40. The clamping assembly 60 on the first slide 20 returns to the top of the external conveying mechanism to wait for the next row of battery cells to be fed. At this time, the second drive mechanism 52 is in the extended state, and the external multi-row clamps begin to change rows. After the change is completed, the second drive mechanism 52 retracts and drives the clamping assembly 60 on the second slide 40 to return to the top of the external clamps to grab the next row of battery cells to be unloaded. Repeating this action can complete the synchronous operation of feeding and unloading.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
