[0011] In some embodiments, the packaging material transfer mechanism includes a lifting component, a conveying component, and a first packaging material buffer platform. The lifting component is used to receive empty packaging materials provided by the packaging material conveying device and to drive the received empty packaging materials upward.

[0012] The transport component is used to transfer empty packaging materials on the lifting component to the first packaging material buffer station or the packing station.

[0013] In some embodiments, the conveying assembly is further configured to transfer full packaging materials on the packing table to the lifting assembly, the lifting assembly being configured to receive the full packaging materials transferred by the conveying assembly and drive the received full packaging materials to descend, and the packaging material conveying device being further configured to recover the full packaging materials on the lifting assembly.

[0015] In some embodiments, the packaging material conveying device includes a first conveyor line, a lid handling mechanism, a second packaging material buffer platform, and a second handling mechanism;

[0016] The first conveyor line is arranged at the lid processing mechanism for conveying empty packaging materials.

After that inner lining pallet is full of battery cells, the first handling mechanism transfers another inner lining pallet from the inner lining buffer table to the empty packaging materials on the packaging table, and then transfers the battery cells supplied by the battery cell feeding device to the inner lining pallets in the empty packaging materials on the packaging table, until that inner lining pallet is full of battery cells. This process is repeated until all the inner lining trays on the inner lining buffer platform are transferred to the empty packaging material on the packing platform, and each inner lining tray in the empty packaging material is filled with battery cells. At this point, the empty packaging material on the packing platform becomes a full packaging material filled with battery cells. Then, the packaging material transfer mechanism transfers the full packaging material on the packing platform to the packaging material conveying device, so that the packaging material conveying device can reclaim the full packaging material.

[0023] In this way, the above-mentioned packaging equipment can automatically complete the feeding of empty packaging materials, the disassembly and stacking of each layer of inner pallets, the loading of battery cells layer by layer, and the unloading of full packaging materials, avoiding the use of manual palletizing and packaging, greatly improving the degree of automation and production efficiency.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 This application provides a packaging device, including a packaging material conveying device 10, a packaging device 20, and a battery cell feeding device 30. The packaging material conveying device 10 provides empty packaging materials. The packaging materials include a box and multiple layers of inner lining trays stacked inside the box, each inner lining tray capable of holding battery cells. An empty packaging material refers to a packaging material without any battery cells stacked on its inner lining trays, while a full packaging material refers to a packaging material where each inner lining tray is filled with battery cells. The packaging device 20 includes a packaging material transfer mechanism 28, a packaging table 24, an inner lining buffer table 26, and a first handling mechanism 25. The packaging material transfer mechanism 28 is used to transport the empty packaging materials provided by the packaging material conveying device 10 to the packaging table 24. The first handling mechanism 25 is used to transport the inner lining trays from the empty packaging materials on the packaging table 24 to the inner lining buffer table 26, and to transfer the inner lining trays from the inner lining buffer table 26 layer by layer to the empty packaging materials on the packaging table 24. The battery cell feeding device 30 provides battery cells to be packaged. The first handling mechanism 25 is also used to transfer the battery cells supplied by the battery cell feeding device 30 to the inner liner tray inside the empty packaging material on the packing table 24. The packaging material transfer mechanism 28 is also used to transfer the full packaging material piled with battery cells on the packing table 24 to the packaging material conveying device 10, which is also used to collect the full packaging material. The battery cells mentioned above can be prismatic or cylindrical, and are not limited thereto.

[0032] In the actual packaging operation, the packaging equipment described above first provides empty packaging materials via the packaging material conveying device 10, and the packaging material transfer mechanism 28 transfers the empty packaging materials provided by the packaging material conveying device 10 to the packaging table 24. Then, the first handling mechanism 25 transfers each layer of inner lining pallets from the empty packaging materials on the packaging table 24 to the inner lining buffer platform 26. Next, the first handling mechanism 25 transfers one layer of inner lining pallets from the inner lining buffer platform 26 to the empty packaging materials on the packaging table 24, and then transfers the battery cells provided by the battery cell feeding device 30 to the inner lining pallets within the empty packaging materials on the packaging table 24, until that layer of inner lining pallets is full of battery cells. After that layer of inner lining pallets is full of battery cells, the first handling mechanism 25 transfers another layer of inner lining pallets from the inner lining buffer platform 26 to the empty packaging materials on the packaging table 24, and then transfers the battery cells provided by the battery cell feeding device 30 to the inner lining pallets within the empty packaging materials on the packaging table 24, until that layer of inner lining pallets is full of battery cells. This process is repeated until all the inner lining trays on the inner lining buffer platform 26 have been transferred to the empty packaging material on the packing platform 24, and each inner lining tray in the empty packaging material is filled with battery cells. At this point, the empty packaging material on the packing platform 24 becomes a full packaging material filled with battery cells. Then, the packaging material transfer mechanism 28 transfers the full packaging material on the packing platform 24 to the packaging material conveying device 10, so that the packaging material conveying device 10 can collect the full packaging material.

[0033] In this way, the above-mentioned packaging equipment can automatically complete the feeding of empty packaging materials, the disassembly and stacking of each layer of inner pallets, the loading of battery cells layer by layer, and the unloading of full packaging materials, avoiding the use of manual palletizing and packaging, greatly improving the degree of automation and production efficiency.

[0034] In the embodiments of this application, the packing table 24 and the battery cell feeding device 30 are respectively arranged on both sides of the first transport mechanism 25 in the first direction X1, so as to facilitate the first transport mechanism 25 to transfer the battery cells provided by the battery cell feeding device 30 to the packing table 24. The packaging material transfer mechanism 28 is arranged on the side of the packing table 24 away from the first transport mechanism 25, so as to facilitate the packaging material transfer mechanism 28 to transfer empty packaging materials to the packing table 24 and to grab full packaging materials on the packing table 24. The inner liner buffer table 26 is arranged on one side of the first transport mechanism 25 in the second direction X2, so as to facilitate the first transport mechanism 25 to transfer the inner liner tray between the packing table 24 and the inner liner buffer table 26. Preferably, the first direction X1 and the second direction X2 are perpendicular to each other.

[0035] Thus, arranging the packing table 24, the inner liner buffer table 26, and the battery cell feeding device 30 around the first transport mechanism 25 allows the first transport mechanism 25 to transfer battery cells between the battery cell feeding device 30 and the packing table 24, and to transfer inner liner trays between the inner liner buffer table 26 and the packing table 24. This improves the material transfer cycle time and further increases production efficiency. Arranging the packaging material transfer mechanism 28 on the side of the packing table 24 away from the first transport mechanism 25 allows the packaging material transfer mechanism 28 to transfer empty packaging materials to the packing table 24 or to grab full packaging materials from the packing table 24. This also improves the material transfer cycle time and further increases production efficiency.

[0036] In the embodiments of this application, the packaging material transfer mechanism 28 includes a lifting component 21, a transport component 23, and a first packaging material buffer platform 22. The lifting component 21 receives empty packaging materials provided by the packaging material conveying device 10 and raises the received empty packaging materials to a certain height, ensuring that the height of the empty packaging materials on the lifting component 21 matches that of the transport component 23. The transport component 23 transfers the empty packaging materials on the lifting component 21 to the first packaging material buffer platform 22 or the packing platform 24. Thus, in actual use, the packaging material conveying device 10 provides empty packaging materials to the lifting component 21. After receiving the empty packaging materials, the lifting component 21 raises them to a certain height. The transport component 23 then grabs the empty packaging materials from the lifting component 21 and transfers them to the first packaging material buffer platform 22 or the packing platform 24, thereby realizing the transfer of the empty packaging materials.

[0037] It should be noted that during initial use, the transport component 23 transfers empty packaging materials to the packing table 24 and the first packaging material buffer table 22. During the packing operation, when there are no empty packaging materials on the packing table 24, the transport component 23 transfers empty packaging materials from the first packaging material buffer table 22 to the packing table 24. When there are no empty packaging materials on the first packaging material buffer table 22, the transport component 23 transfers empty packaging materials from the lifting component 21 to the first packaging material buffer table 22.

[0038] Furthermore, the handling component 23 is also used to transfer full packages on the packing table 24 to the lifting component 21. The lifting component 21 receives the full packages transferred by the handling component 23 and lowers the received full packages by a certain height, so that the height of the full packages on the lifting component 21 matches the height of the packaging material conveying device 10, ensuring that the packaging material conveying device 10 can grab the full packages on the lifting component 21. Thus, in actual use, after the empty packages on the packing table 24 are filled with battery cells, the handling component 23 transfers the full packages on the packing table 24 to the lifting component 21, and the lifting component 21 lowers the full packages by a certain height. After lowering to the correct position, the packaging material conveying device 10 removes the full packages from the lifting component 21, thereby achieving the recycling of the full packages. It should be noted that, specifically... Figure 1In the illustrated embodiment, the lifting component 21 causing the empty packaging material on it to rise refers to moving outward in a direction perpendicular to the paper surface, and the lifting component 21 causing the full packaging material on it to fall refers to moving inward in a direction perpendicular to the paper surface. That is, the vertical direction is... Figure 1 The direction perpendicular to the paper.

[0039] Furthermore, the transport assembly 23 is arranged on the side of the packing table 24 opposite to the first transport mechanism 25. The packaging material conveying device 10 is arranged on the side of the transport assembly 23 opposite to the packing table 24, and the lifting assembly 21 and the first packaging material buffer table 22 are arranged between the transport assembly 23 and the packaging material conveying device 10. In this way, the transport assembly 23 is arranged between the lifting assembly 21, the first packaging material buffer table 22 and the packing table 24 to facilitate the transport assembly 23 in transferring empty packaging materials between the lifting assembly 21, the first packaging material buffer table 22 and the packing table 24, and also to facilitate the transport assembly 23 in transferring full packaging materials between the packing table 24 and the lifting assembly 21.

[0040] Specifically, the cell feeding device 30, the first conveying mechanism 25, the packaging table 24, the conveying component 23, the first packaging material buffer table 22, the lifting component 21, and the packaging material conveying device 10 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the first direction X1. The first packaging material buffer table 22 and the lifting component 21 are arranged at intervals along the second direction X2. The inner liner buffer table 26 is arranged on one side of the first conveying mechanism 25 in the second direction X2.

[0041] It should be noted that the number of packing stations 24 is not limited to one, but can also be multiple. In an embodiment where there are multiple packing stations 24, the multiple packing stations 24 are arranged at intervals along the second direction X2, and are all located between the first conveying mechanism 25 and the conveying component 23, so that the first conveying mechanism 25 can transfer the inner liner tray between each packing station 24 and the inner liner buffer station 26, and transfer the battery cells between the battery cell feeding device 30 and each packing station 24.

[0042] Furthermore, the number of inner lining buffer tables 26 is not limited to one, but can also be two. In an embodiment where the number of inner lining buffer tables 26 is two, the two inner lining buffer tables 26 are respectively arranged on both sides of the first transport mechanism 25 in the second direction X2, so that the first transport mechanism 25 can transfer the inner lining tray between each packing table 24 and the two inner lining buffer tables 26.

[0043] It should be noted that the packaging material also includes a lid covering the top of the box. The lid needs to be opened before the battery cells are stacked onto the inner lining tray inside the packaging box. After the battery cells are stacked, the lid needs to be closed on top of the box. To achieve opening the lid before stacking the battery cells and closing the lid after stacking, in some embodiments, the packaging material conveying device 10 includes a first conveyor line 11, a lid handling mechanism 13, a second packaging material buffer platform 15, and a second handling mechanism 16. The first conveyor line 11 is arranged at the lid handling mechanism 13 for conveying empty packaging materials. The lid handling mechanism 13 is used to grasp the lids on the empty packaging materials conveyed by the first conveyor line 11. The second handling mechanism 16 is used to transfer the empty packaging materials on the first conveyor line 11 to the second packaging material buffer platform 15, and also to transfer the empty packaging materials on the second packaging material buffer platform 15 to the lifting assembly 21 of the packaging material transfer mechanism 28.

[0044] Thus, in actual use, firstly, the first conveyor line 11 transports empty packaging materials to the lid handling mechanism 13, where the lid handling mechanism 13 grabs the lid from the top of the empty packaging material on the first conveyor line 11. Then, the second handling mechanism 16 transfers the empty packaging materials (with the lids removed) on the first conveyor line 11 to the second packaging material buffer platform 15. When there are no empty packaging materials on the first packaging material buffer platform 22, the second handling mechanism 16 transfers the empty packaging materials on the first packaging material buffer platform 22 to the lifting assembly 21. Then, the lifting assembly 21 lifts the empty packaging materials on it to a certain height. Finally, the handling assembly 23 transfers the empty packaging materials on the lifting assembly 21 back to the first packaging material buffer platform 22.

[0045] Furthermore, the packaging material conveying device 10 also includes a second conveyor line 12 arranged at the lid handling mechanism 13. The second handling mechanism 16 is also used to transfer full packages from the lifting assembly 21 of the packaging material transfer mechanism 28 to the second conveyor line 12. The lid handling mechanism 13 is also used to cover the full packages on the second conveyor line 12 with lids. Thus, in actual use, after the empty packages on the packing table 24 are filled with battery cells, the handling assembly 23 transfers the full packages on the packing table 24 to the lifting assembly 21, which lowers the full packages by a certain height. Then, the second handling mechanism 16 transfers the full packages on the lifting assembly 21 to the second conveyor line 12, and the lid handling mechanism 13 covers the top of the full packages on the second conveyor line 12 with lids. Finally, the second conveyor line 12 conveys the full packages downstream.

[0046] Furthermore, the packaging material conveying device 10 also includes a lid buffer mechanism 14. The lid handling mechanism 13 is used to transfer lids picked up from empty packaging materials on the first conveyor line 11 to the lid buffer mechanism 14, and to transfer lids from the lid buffer mechanism 14 to full packaging materials on the second conveyor line 12. Thus, when an empty packaging material conveyed on the first conveyor line 11 reaches the lid handling mechanism 13, the lid handling mechanism 13 picks up the lid from the top of the empty packaging material and transfers the picked-up lid to the lid buffer mechanism 14 for buffering. When the second handling mechanism 16 transfers full packaging materials to the second conveyor line 12, the lid handling mechanism 13 transfers the lid from the lid buffer mechanism 14 to the top of the full packaging materials on the second conveyor line 12, thereby placing the lid on top of the full packaging materials.

[0047] Furthermore, the second packaging material buffer table 15, the lid buffer mechanism 14, the lid handling mechanism 13, the first conveyor line 11, and the second conveyor line 12 are located on the same side of the second handling mechanism 16 in the first direction X1, and are arranged sequentially along the second direction X2. The packaging device 20 is located on the other side of the second handling mechanism 16 in the first direction X1. The second handling mechanism 16 can be controlled to move along the second direction X2, so that the second handling mechanism 16 can transfer empty packaging materials between the first conveyor line 11, the second packaging material buffer table 15, and the lifting assembly 21, and can also transfer full packaging materials between the second conveyor line 12 and the lifting assembly 21.

[0048] It should be noted that the number of packaging devices 20 is not limited to one; there can also be multiple devices. In embodiments where there are multiple packaging devices 20, the multiple packaging devices 20 are arranged at intervals along the second direction X2 on the same side of the second conveying mechanism 16, so that the second conveying mechanism 16 moves along the second direction X2 and passes through the lifting components 21 of each packaging device 20. This ensures that the second conveying mechanism 16 can transfer full packaging materials on the lifting components 21 of each packaging device 20 to the second conveyor line 12, and also ensures that the second conveying mechanism 16 can transfer empty packaging materials on the second packaging material buffer table 15 to the lifting components 21 of each packaging device 20. In other words, each packaging device 20 shares a single packaging material conveying device 10 to realize the loading of empty packaging materials and the unloading of full packaging materials, which greatly improves production efficiency and reduces the number of packaging material conveying devices 10.

[0049] Furthermore, there can be multiple battery cell feeding devices 30, with each battery cell feeding device 30 corresponding to a specific packaging device 20. Each battery cell feeding device 30 is arranged on the side of the first conveying mechanism 25 of the corresponding packaging device 20 away from the packaging table 24, so that each battery cell feeding device 30 provides a battery cell to the corresponding packaging device 20.

[0050] In the embodiments of this application, the battery cell feeding device 30 includes a battery cell conveying mechanism 31, a third transport mechanism 33, and a battery cell buffer platform 35. The battery cell conveying mechanism 31 is used to convey battery cells, and the third transport mechanism 33 is used to transfer the battery cells on the battery cell conveying mechanism 31 to the battery cell buffer platform 35, which is used to buffer the battery cells. The first transport mechanism 25 is also used to transfer the battery cells on the battery cell buffer platform 35 to the inner lining tray inside the empty packaging material on the packaging table 24.

[0051] Optionally, there are multiple cell buffer platforms 35 and at least two third transport mechanisms 33. The multiple cell buffer platforms 35 are divided into at least two groups, and each third transport mechanism 33 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with each group of cell buffer platforms 35. Each third transport mechanism 33 is used to transfer cells from the cell conveying mechanism 31 to the corresponding group of cell buffer platforms 35. The cell buffer platforms 35 are spaced apart along a second direction X2 on the side of the first transport mechanism 25 opposite to the packing table 24. The first transport mechanism 25 is movable along the second direction X2, thereby ensuring that the first transport mechanism 25 can grasp the cells on each cell buffer platform 35 and transfer the grasped cells to each packing table 24.

[0052] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0053] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
