[0039] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure, and technical effects of this utility model in conjunction with embodiments and accompanying drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features, and effects of this utility model.

The various technical features in this utility model can be combined interactively without contradicting each other.

[0040] Reference Figures 1 to 12A clamping loop conveyor line includes a double-track mechanism 1, a clamping mechanism 2, and a synchronous conveying mechanism 3. The double-track mechanism 1 includes a frame 11, an upper guide rail 12, and a lower guide rail 14. The frame 11, as the skeleton of the entire double-track mechanism 1, is typically welded from high-strength steel, providing good stability and load-bearing capacity. It provides a stable mounting foundation for the upper guide rail 12 and the lower guide rail 14, ensuring that the upper guide rail 12 is securely mounted on the upper part of the frame 11 and that the clamping mechanism 2 moves smoothly horizontally on the upper guide rail 12. The lower guide rail 14 is located in the middle of the frame 11 and cooperates with the upper guide rail 12 to form a loop conveying path. The lower guide rail 14 is also made of a sturdy and durable material, and its structure is optimized to withstand the weight of the clamping mechanism 2 and various forces generated during the conveying process.

[0041] Multiple clamping mechanisms 2 are used to clamp and transport the batteries to be processed. They are slidably connected to the upper guide rail 12 and the lower guide rail 14. The front end of each clamping mechanism 2 is provided with a connecting plate 21, and the rear end of each clamping mechanism 2 is provided with a follower component 22. The front and rear ends of two adjacent clamping mechanisms 2 located on the upper guide rail 12 are interlocked with each other through the connecting plate 21 and the follower component 22 to form a continuous conveying chain.

[0042] The synchronous transport assembly 15 is installed on the lower guide rail 14, and the clamping mechanism 2 located on the lower guide rail 14 is driven by the synchronous transport assembly 15 to achieve the purpose of moving the clamping mechanism 2 from back to front on the lower guide rail 14. It can accurately control the back and forth movement of the clamping mechanism 2 on the lower guide rail 14, and ensure the positional accuracy and smooth operation of the clamping mechanism 2 during the lower transport process.

[0043] In this embodiment, the upper guide rail 12 is provided with multiple workstations, and each workstation corresponds to a clamping mechanism 2. Therefore, the upper guide rail 12 is moved by connecting clamping mechanisms 2. The synchronous transport component 15 in the lower guide rail 14 is used to drive the empty clamping mechanism 2. Therefore, only a few are needed for circulation. Setting multiple synchronous transport components 15 (for example, four are set in this embodiment) is cheaper than setting a row of clamping mechanisms 2 in the prior art, and the transmission efficiency is higher.

[0044] The synchronous transmission mechanism 3 is the power source that drives the clamping mechanism 2 to move horizontally along the upper guide rail 12. It is installed on the side of the frame 11 and the synchronous transmission mechanism 3 is detachably connected to one of the clamping mechanisms 2 on the upper guide rail 12, so that the synchronous transmission mechanism 3 can drive the clamping mechanism 2 to move horizontally along the upper guide rail 12. At the same time, the synchronous transmission mechanism 3 can be separated from or connected to different clamping mechanisms 2 to achieve cyclic driving.

[0045] The lifting mechanism 4 is used to drive the clamping mechanism 2 to move up and down. It is set on both sides of the double-rail mechanism 1. When the clamping mechanism 2 is transferred to the rear end of the upper guide rail 12, the lifting mechanism 4 located at the rear end of the double-rail mechanism 1 will transfer the clamping mechanism 2 to the lower guide rail 14. When the clamping mechanism 2 is transferred to the front end of the lower guide rail 14, the lifting mechanism 4 located at the front end of the double-rail mechanism 1 will transfer the clamping mechanism 2 to the upper guide rail 12. The clamping mechanism 2 can be smoothly transferred between the lower guide rail and the upper guide rail to achieve a complete loop conveying.

[0046] Reference Figure 8 In this embodiment of the present invention, the outer end of the connecting plate 21 is provided with a hollowed-out groove 211, which provides precise positioning and locking space for the connection of two adjacent clamping mechanisms 2, so that the two adjacent clamping mechanisms 2 can fit tightly when connected, avoiding shaking or displacement; the follower component 22 includes a mounting block 221 and a follower cam 222, the clamping mechanism 2 includes a lower base plate 23, and the inner end of the mounting block 221 is firmly fixed to the lower base plate 23 by welding or bolt connection, providing a stable mounting base for the follower cam 222, and the outer end of the mounting block 221 protrudes A locking block 223 is provided, and the follower cam 222 is connected to the locking block 223 through bearings and other components, so that the follower cam 222 can rotate flexibly. When adjacent clamping mechanisms 2 are connected, the follower cam 222 can slide and lock precisely in the hollow groove 211. This locking method not only realizes the stable connection between adjacent clamping mechanisms 2, but also facilitates the upper and lower locking and separation between clamping mechanisms 2 to meet the lifting and lowering requirements on both sides of the clamp during the zigzag cycle movement, improves the smoothness and stability of the movement of the clamping mechanism 2, and thus ensures the operating efficiency and reliability of the entire clamp zigzag cycle conveyor line.

[0047] Reference Figure 10In an embodiment of this utility model, the synchronous conveying mechanism 3 includes a mounting side plate 31, a moving guide rail 32, a transmission rack 33, a slider 34, a T-shaped seat 35, a drive gear 36, a cylinder 37, and a follower 38. The mounting side plate 31 is firmly fixed to the side end of the frame 11 by bolts or other fasteners, providing a stable mounting foundation for the entire synchronous conveying mechanism 3, enabling it to withstand various forces and vibrations generated during the conveying process, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the conveying. The moving guide rail 32 is fixedly connected to the mounting side plate 31, and has extremely high straightness and perpendicularity, providing precise guidance for the sliding of the slider 34. To reduce friction and wear on the slider 34 during movement, ensuring smooth and stable sliding, the transmission rack 33 is connected to the inner end of the moving guide rail 32 and closely cooperates with the moving guide rail 32 to provide power and guidance for the movement of the T-shaped seat 35. The slider 34 is fixedly connected to one side of the T-shaped seat 35 and is slidably connected to the moving guide rail 32. Driven by the drive gear 36, the slider 34 can move linearly along the moving guide rail 32, thereby driving the T-shaped seat 35 to move as a whole. The drive gear 36 is mounted on the T-shaped seat 35, and the drive gear 36 and the transmission rack 33 are connected to the inner end of the moving guide rail 32 to provide power and guidance for the movement of the T-shaped seat 35. The drive gear 36 rotates under the drive of the power source, and through its meshing with the transmission rack 33, the rotational motion is converted into the linear motion of the T-shaped seat 35, thus realizing the driving function of the clamping mechanism 2. The follower 38 is slidably connected to the upper end of the T-shaped seat 35, and the cylinder 37 is fixedly connected to the T-shaped seat 35. When the cylinder 37 is actuated, its extended end can push the follower 38 to slide on the T-shaped seat 35, realizing precise control of the position of the follower 38. The extended end of the cylinder 37 is fixedly connected to the follower 38. The lower base plate 23 of the clamping mechanism 2 is provided with a plug-in positioning block 26 on its side. The end of the moving part 38 is provided with a follower roller, and the insertion and removal positioning block 26 is recessed with a slot. When the moving part 38 and the insertion and removal positioning block 26 are slidably engaged, the follower roller is engaged in the slot. When the synchronous conveying mechanism 3 is working, the follower roller of the moving part 38 is engaged with the slot of the insertion and removal positioning block 26 under the drive of the cylinder 37. Then, through the meshing of the drive gear 36 and the transmission rack 33, the clamping mechanism 2 is driven to move along the moving guide rail 32, thereby realizing the drive of the clamping mechanism 2. When it is necessary to disconnect, the cylinder 37 drives the follower roller of the moving part 38 to separate from the slot of the insertion and removal positioning block 26, so that the clamping mechanism 2 can move independently or perform other operations. This sliding engagement method between the insertion and removal positioning block 26 and the following part 38 not only realizes the rapid connection and separation between the clamping mechanism 2 and the synchronous conveying mechanism 3, but also ensures the stability of the connection and the accuracy of the transmission, improving the operating efficiency and reliability of the entire clamping loop conveyor line.

[0048] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 In this embodiment of the invention, the upper guide rail 12 and the lower guide rail 14 are configured with a double guide rail structure with the same spacing. This allows the clamping mechanism 2 to precisely engage when switching between the upper guide rail 12 and the lower guide rail 14, avoiding problems such as jamming and offset of the clamping mechanism 2 caused by inconsistent guide rail spacing. Moreover, the double guide rail structure provides more stable support and guidance for the clamping mechanism 2, ensuring that the clamping mechanism 2 maintains the correct posture during the conveying process, thereby greatly improving the operating accuracy and reliability of the entire clamping loop conveyor line.

[0049] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 In an embodiment of this utility model, the synchronous transport assembly 15 includes a fixed plate 151, a guide bar 152, a translation assembly 16, and a lifting assembly 17. The bottom of the lower guide rail 14 is supported by a lower conveyor frame 13. The fixed plate 151 is fixedly connected to the lower conveyor frame 13, providing a stable installation foundation for the entire synchronous transport assembly 15 and ensuring that it will not shake or shift due to force during operation. The guide bar 152 is fixedly installed on the fixed plate 151 by high-strength bolts and other fasteners. Its surface is specially treated and has a low coefficient of friction, which can provide smooth guidance for the movement of the translation assembly 16 and reduce energy loss and wear. The translation assembly 16 is disposed on the guide bar 152, and the lifting assembly 17 is installed on the translation assembly 16 so as to realize the connection or disconnection of the translation assembly 16 with the clamping mechanism 2, and realize the translation assembly 16 driving the clamping mechanism 2 to move.

[0050] Specifically, the translation component 16 includes a drive motor 161, a helical gear 162, a helical rack 164, and a mounting plate 163. The drive motor 161 is mounted on one end of the mounting plate 163, providing power for the horizontal movement of the entire translation component 16. The lifting component 17 is located at the other end of the mounting plate 163 to enable the translation component 16 to engage or disengage with the clamping mechanism 2. The helical rack 164 is located on the inner end of the guide bar, and the helical gear 162 is located on the lower end of the mounting plate 163. The helical gear 162 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the drive motor 161. When the drive motor 161 is running, it can drive the helical gear 162 to rotate synchronously. The helical gear 162 meshes with the helical rack 164, converting the rotational motion of the drive motor 161 into the linear motion of the translation component 16 along the guide bar 152, thereby realizing the horizontal movement of the clamping mechanism 2. In addition, a slider is provided at the lower end of the mounting plate 163. The slider slides in cooperation with the guide bar 152 to ensure the stability of the movement of the translation component 16.

[0051] Specifically, the lifting assembly 17 includes a lifting plate 171, a lifting guide rail 172, a lifting push plate 173, and a lifting cylinder 174. The lifting plate 171 is fixedly connected perpendicularly to the mounting plate 163, providing a stable mounting platform for the other components of the lifting assembly 17. The lifting guide rail 172 is installed on one side of the lifting plate 171. The lifting push plate 173 is provided with a sliding block, which is slidably connected to the lifting guide rail 172, ensuring the lifting push plate 173... 73 maintains a stable movement trajectory during the lifting and locking process; the lifting cylinder 174 is disposed between the lifting guide rails 172, providing a power source for the lifting push plate 173 to move up and down. The lifting push plate 173 is slidably connected to the lifting guide rails 172, and can slide up and down along the lifting guide rails 172 under the drive of the lifting cylinder 174. The driving end of the lifting cylinder 174 is fixedly connected to the lifting push plate 173. When the lifting cylinder 174 extends or retracts, it can drive the lifting push plate 173 to achieve... The lifting action is as follows: Two roller follower assemblies are spaced apart at the upper end of the lifting push plate 173 to reduce friction with the clamping mechanism 2 and improve the smoothness of connection or disconnection between the lifting push plate 173 and the clamping mechanism 2. The roller follower assembly includes a roller mounting block 175 and a follower roller 176. The lower end of the roller mounting block 175 is fixedly connected to the lifting push plate 173 by welding or bolting, providing a mounting base for the follower roller 176. The follower roller 176 is... The bearing is rotatably connected to the upper end of the roller mounting block 175, allowing the follower roller 176 to rotate flexibly. The follower roller 176 is slidably engaged with the bottom of the clamping mechanism 2. During the lifting and lowering process of the lifting push plate 173, the follower roller 176 can smoothly contact or separate from the bottom of the clamping mechanism 2 to achieve quick engagement or disengagement between the lifting push plate 173 and the clamping mechanism 2, thereby ensuring the stable movement of the clamping mechanism 2 between the lifting guide rail 45 and the lower guide rail 14 of the lifting mechanism 4.

[0052] Reference Figures 7 to 9In this embodiment of the present invention, the clamping mechanism 2 further includes a clamping component 24 and multiple rollers 25. The clamping component 24 is firmly connected to the lower base plate 23 by bolts or other fasteners, and is used to precisely clamp and position the battery to be processed, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the battery's position during transportation and processing. The connecting plate 21 and the follower component 22 are respectively connected to the front and rear ends of the lower base plate 23 by welding or bolting, so that multiple clamping mechanisms 2 can be quickly connected to achieve synchronous movement. The multiple rollers 25 are mounted on the lower end of the lower base plate 23 by bearings, and can slide smoothly on the upper guide rail 12 or the lower guide rail 14, thereby driving the clamping mechanism 2 to move along the guide rail. The bottom of the lower base plate 23 is provided with multiple locking positions 231. When the translation component 16 moves to the clamping mechanism 2 When the clamping mechanism 2 is below the lower base plate 23, the follower roller 176 can precisely slide and engage with the engagement position 231, realizing a stable connection and coordinated action between the clamping mechanism 2 and the translation component 16. Multiple engagement positions 231 are located at both ends of the lower base plate 23 and are arranged in the same horizontal direction as the connecting plate 21 and the follower component 22, facilitating the translation component 16 to lift the clamping mechanism 2 on the lower guide rail 14 and the lifting mechanism 4. Since the clamping mechanism 2 slides on the lower guide rail and the lifting mechanism's guide rail, and the guide rail of the translation component 16 is located below the lower guide rail, when the clamping mechanism 2 is located on the left side of the lifting mechanism, the lifting component 17 connects to the engagement position on the right side and then advances to the right side of the lifting mechanism. The lifting component 17 then connects to the engagement position on the left side. This eliminates the need for the translation component 16 to be positioned directly below the lifting mechanism, effectively improving transmission efficiency.

[0053] Specifically, the clamping assembly 24 includes a clamping frame 241, a transmission gear 242, a trapezoidal lead screw 243, a guide shaft 244, and multiple clamping partitions 245. The clamping frame 241 is firmly fixed to the lower base plate 23 by bolts or other fasteners, providing a stable support structure for the entire clamping assembly 24. The trapezoidal lead screw 243 is threaded through both sides of the clamping frame 241, which has advantages such as good self-locking performance and high transmission accuracy, and can accurately control the clamping partitions 245. The transmission gear 242 is fixedly connected to one end of the trapezoidal lead screw 243 by means of key connection or other means. When external power is input through the transmission gear 242, it can drive the trapezoidal lead screw 243 to rotate. The guide shafts 244 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the trapezoidal lead screw 243, which can provide precise guidance for the movement of the clamping partition 245 and ensure that the clamping partition 245 will not deviate during the movement. Multiple clamping partitions 245 are arranged inside the clamping frame 241. The clamping partition 245 is sleeved on the trapezoidal lead screw 243 and guide shaft 244 on both sides by linear bearings and other components. The clamping partition 245 and the trapezoidal lead screw 243 are provided in two sets. The first set is fixed on the trapezoidal lead screw 243, and the second set can move with the trapezoidal lead screw 243. When the trapezoidal lead screw 243 rotates, the second set of clamping partitions 245 can move linearly along the trapezoidal lead screw 243 and guide shaft 244, and move closer to the first set of clamping partitions 245 to clamp the battery. Furthermore, a placement cavity 246 is provided between two adjacent clamping partitions 245. The placement cavity 246 is used to place the battery to be processed. The size and shape of the placement cavity 246 are designed according to the specifications of the battery to be processed, which can accurately place the battery to be processed. After the battery is placed, the position of the second set of clamping partitions 245 can be adjusted to accurately clamp and fix the battery, preventing the battery from shaking or shifting during transportation and processing, thereby ensuring the quality and accuracy of battery processing.

[0054] Reference Figures 11 to 12In an embodiment of this utility model, the lifting mechanism 4 includes a U-shaped frame 41, a lifting motor 42, a lifting screw 43, a lifting block 44, a lifting guide rail 45, and a lifting slide rail 46. Specifically, the U-shaped frame 41 is stably connected to the end of the frame 11, providing a solid support foundation for the entire lifting mechanism. The lifting motor 42 is vertically and symmetrically installed on both sides of the U-shaped frame 41, serving as the power source for driving the lifting mechanism. The lifting screw 43 is tightly and fixedly connected to the drive end of the lifting motor 42, enabling the lifting screw 43 to rotate when the lifting motor 42 starts. The lifting block 44 is mounted on the lifting screw 43 and contains components that match the lifting screw 43. The threaded structure allows the lifting block 44 to slide up and down along the lifting screw 43 when the lifting screw 43 rotates. The lifting guide rail 45 is parallel to the upper guide rail 12 and the lower guide rail 14 to ensure stability and accuracy during the lifting process. The lifting guide rail 45 is fixedly connected to the lifting block 44, so that the movement of the lifting block 44 can directly drive the movement of the lifting guide rail 45. The lifting slide rail 46 is slidably connected to both sides of the lifting guide rail 45. The lifting slide rail 46 provides a stable sliding guide for the up and down movement of the lifting guide rail 45. The lifting slide rail 46 is vertically and firmly fixed to the U-shaped frame 41, thus forming a stable support and guiding system for the entire lifting mechanism.

[0055] This utility model also discloses a working method for a clamp-type circular conveyor line, including the following steps:

[0056] Step 1: Install multiple clamping mechanisms on the upper guide rail of the double-rail mechanism, and interlock two adjacent clamping mechanisms through follower components and connecting blocks. Then, slide and engage the follower of the synchronous transmission mechanism with the insertion and removal positioning block of one of the clamping mechanisms. Before the synchronous transmission mechanism is driven, the manual or front-end equipment places the battery to be processed into the placement cavity of the clamping mechanism on the upper guide rail. Then, the synchronous transmission mechanism transmits the clamping mechanism to the rear end of the upper guide rail so that the battery to be processed can be picked up for subsequent processing. After the synchronous transmission mechanism transmits the previous clamping mechanism into place, it disconnects from it and then connects to the next clamping mechanism for the next drive. Repeat the above actions to continuously drive the clamping mechanism to transmit.

[0057] Step 2: The clamping mechanism at the rear end of the upper guide rail is transmitted to the lower layer of the frame through the lifting screw of the lifting mechanism located at the rear end of the double rail mechanism, and the clamping mechanism is transmitted from the rear end of the lower guide rail to the front end through the translation component in the middle of the synchronous transport component.

[0058] Step 3: The clamping mechanism then moves from the lower layer to the upper layer of the frame through the lifting mechanism located at the front end of the double-rail mechanism, and repeats steps 1 to 2 to achieve the cyclic linkage operation of the clamping mechanism.

[0059] This utility model also discloses a working method for a clamp-and-grip circular conveyor line. By having the clamp mechanism work in a circular linkage between the upper and lower layers of the double-track mechanism, the time and labor costs of manually handling the clamp mechanism and the battery to be processed are reduced, realizing a continuous and efficient production process. It can quickly transport the battery to be processed to the processing position and promptly return the clamp mechanism to the initial position after processing, greatly improving the overall production efficiency. Moreover, the multiple clamp mechanisms are quickly connected and separated, and the horizontal drive mechanism only applies force to one clamp, while the other clamps are interconnected to achieve synchronous movement, reducing driving force and structure, and meeting the requirements of simple structure and low cost.

[0060] The above is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. However, the present utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present utility model. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
