Detailed ways

The core of the present invention is to provide a production system and transmission equipment for batteries, such as power batteries; through the application of the present invention, the stability of the battery during the transmission process will be significantly improved, and the protection ability for the battery will be improved at the same time.

The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

Please refer to Fig. 1 to Fig. 3, Fig. 1 is the first schematic diagram of the structure of the present invention; Fig. 2 is the second schematic diagram of the structure of the present invention; Fig. 3 is a partial schematic diagram of the structure of the present invention.

As shown in the figure, the conveying equipment includes a first conveying body 1 and a second conveying body 2, the first conveying body 1 is used to support and convey the battery along the first direction, and the battery is supported on the first conveying body 1 In the state, the battery has a support portion exposed downward. The second conveying body 2 is used for supporting and conveying the battery along the second direction. The second lifting part 21 provided on the second conveying body 2 and capable of conveying is raised to support the supporting part of the battery from the bottom of the battery, so that the battery is detached from the support of the first conveying body 1, which realizes the stability of the battery. The supporting part is supported by the second conveying body 2 and can move along with the second conveying body 2 along the second direction. Here, the first direction and the second direction are set to have an included angle, thus, according to the needs and the setting of the included angle , so that the battery in the transmission process is turned. In this embodiment, the rising of the second lifting part 21 must not interfere with or collide with the structure of the first conveying body 1, because the battery is supported by the first conveying body 1, it includes The supporting part that can support the battery as a whole is a structure that is exposed to the first conveying body 1 from the bottom, and is not blocked by the first conveying body 1. The channel is raised so as to be in contact with the battery supporting part without interfering with the first conveying body 1 , and then further raised to lift the battery to a higher level and detach from the first conveying body 1 .

For the lifting movement of the second lifting part 21, a telescopic cylinder 25 can be provided for jacking up and down, and the telescopic cylinder 25 can use structures such as air cylinders or oil cylinders, and of course, other structures can also be used to realize lifting.

Corresponding to the above-mentioned embodiment, if the other structural settings are the same, but in the state where the second lifting part is not provided, if the first lifting part is set at the corresponding position on the first conveying body, then the battery is positioned at the first lifting part. When the position of the first lifting part is lowered, the second transmission body can support the battery, and the battery is separated from the first transmission body. Of course, with such an arrangement, the first lifting part should be vertically aligned with the second transmission body. The corresponding positions of the battery are aligned so that the supporting part of the battery rests on the second conveying body. Such an arrangement has the same meaning as the above-mentioned embodiment, and can achieve the same technical effect, that is, the support of the battery is switched from the first conveying body to the second conveying body. Of course, it is also possible to set the first lifting part on the first conveying body and the second lifting part on the second conveying body at the same time. In the state where the two are vertically aligned, when the first lifting part descends, The second lifting part rises, which can also realize the supporting switch of the battery. The reason why the above structural settings can realize the switching of battery support in the same way is that gravity is used. When the battery is supported, on the one hand, it is affected by gravity, and on the other hand, the support function of its bottom support structure The gravity is overcome to keep the battery stable, so whether the first lifting part descends and/or the second lifting part rises, gravity is used to realize the supporting switch of the battery.

In the above embodiments, the change of the battery delivery direction does not cause the influence of the centrifugal force on the battery, which significantly improves the guarantee capability of the battery during delivery and the stability of the delivery equipment.

Regarding the structural settings of the above embodiments, a more preferable setting is to make the included angle between the first direction and the second direction 90 degrees. Of course, other included angles, such as 45 degrees or 30 degrees, can also be set according to the requirements of the transmission track.

On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, in this embodiment, it is specifically set that the first conveying body 1 includes a conveyor belt 11 , and when the battery is supported on the conveyor belt 11 , the supporting part of the battery is located at the side of the conveyor belt 11 . Simultaneously, the second lifting part 21 is arranged on the side of the conveyor belt 11, of course, as the lifting position of the second lifting part 21 changes, the second lifting part 21 is within the vertical section of the side of the conveyor belt 11. In the state where the second lifting part 21 is raised and supports the supporting part, this can realize that the battery and the conveying belt 11 of the first conveying body 1 are separated from the supporting relationship. At the same time, the second lifting part 21 for supporting the battery is set to be equal in height and aligned with the conveying part 22 of the second conveying body 2 located outside the first conveying body 1 . The so-called conveying part 22 refers specifically to the conveying structure other than the second lifting part 21 in the second conveying body 2, which can accept the output battery from the second lifting part 21. The conveying part 22 can make the battery break away from the second lifting part. 21 is then delivered to the distal position of the second delivery body 2. The raised second lifting part 21 and the conveying part 22 are arranged at the same height and aligned, which enables the battery to be smoothly conveyed on the second conveying body 2 .

Further, for the second lifting part 21 and the transmitting part 22 of the second conveying body 2, because the battery needs to be transported between the second lifting part 21 and the transmitting part 22, in this embodiment, the second lifting part 21 and the transmitting part 22 are set. The transmission part 22 is driven by the same driver, which is equivalent to the linkage between the second lifting part 21 and the transmission part 22. When the driver is running and driving, both of them are driven at the same time. Stop running at the same time, and the speed can be achieved at the same speed, which can more accurately ensure the stability of battery transmission.

Furthermore, the synchronous conveyor belt 23 that is connected together to install the second elevating part 21 and the conveying part 22 is set, and the driving of the same synchronous conveyor belt 23 by the driver can more accurately realize that the second elevating part 21 and the conveying part 22 are connected to each other. The speed of the battery transmission is equal and consistent. In contrast, if two belts are simultaneously driven by the same driver, and the two belts are respectively sleeved on the second lifting part and the transmission part, although the driver drives the two belts synchronously, due to the tightness of the two belts , the degree of aging and the difference in coefficient of friction with the driver will inevitably cause the existence of the linear velocity error of the two belts running. Therefore, the application of the same synchronous conveyor belt 23 in this embodiment can make the second lifting part 21 The transmission speed of the transmission part 22 is more accurately consistent, so that the output of the battery from the second lifting part 21 and the delivery of the battery by the transmission part 22 are more consistent, and the operation is more stable.

At the same time, the bottom of the first conveying body 1 is also provided with a stopper 24 for limiting the synchronous conveyor belt 23, so that the synchronous conveyor belt 23 is hooked on the stopper 24, so that the track of the synchronous conveyor belt 23 is bypassed. The first conveying body 1 is protected, especially in the state where the second lifting part 21 is raised, so that the synchronous conveyor belt 23 avoids structural interference with the first conveying body 1 and maintains the stability of the respective structures. For the limiting member 24, the most preferred structure is to use a rotatable guide wheel, so that the guide wheel can rotate with the operation of the synchronous conveyor belt, which can prolong the life of the synchronous conveyor belt. What needs to be pointed out here is that, for the naming of the synchronous conveyor belt 23 in this application, its physical structure can use a conveyor belt, and of course a chain and other structures that can realize transmission can also be used. In addition, for the installation position of the limiter 24, it can be set at a fixed position, or it can be set on the second lifting part 21 to move with it. It is only necessary that the relevant structures of the transmission body 1 interfere with and collide with each other.

For the above structure, the first conveying body 1 and the second conveying body 2 respectively transmit the batteries, of course, a plurality of pallets can also be set in the conveying equipment, and each battery is placed on the pallets respectively, so that the first conveying body and the second conveying body The direct support of the battery by the second conveying body is changed to supporting the supporting plate in the physical structure, which can achieve higher protection for the battery, and when the supporting plate is supported on the first conveying body, the supporting plate The bottom of the bottom has a downwardly exposed supporting part of the supporting plate, so that the second lifting part can achieve abutting contact with the supporting part of the supporting plate, which is the same as the setting principle of setting the second lifting part to offset the supporting part of the battery in the above embodiment unanimous. For the set pallet, in this embodiment, the distance between the second lifting part and the conveying part is further set to be less than or equal to 1/2 of the pallet width, the second lifting part is located between the two conveyor belts of the first conveying body, The conveying part is located outside the conveyor belt, and the distance between them is limited as above, which can further ensure that the pallet can be transported to the conveying part by moving the second lifting part smoothly.

On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, it is further provided that the conveying device further includes a controller and a detector for detecting the battery on the first conveying body, and the position of the battery is detected by the detector, where the position refers to the position of the battery in the first When the position on the conveying body is conveyed, when the position is detected, the controller controls the first conveying body to stop conveying, thus, the battery can be located at the corresponding position of the first lifting part and/or the second lifting part, through The detector and controller enable the battery to stop at the exact position to be reversed. Further, the controller is also used to control the lifting of the first lifting part and/or the second lifting part. This makes the operation of the conveying equipment more consistent, and thus realizes the reversing conveyance.

It should be noted that in each of the above embodiments, the working state of the battery output from the first conveying body 1 to the second conveying body 2 is taken as an example for illustration. To transport, that is, to be moved from the conveying part 22 of the second conveying body 2 to the second elevating part 21, and move down under the condition that the second elevating part 21 supports the battery, then the battery is connected with the first conveying body 1. Corresponding support structures come into contact with each other, and then are limited to move down. After the second lifting part 21 continues to move down, the battery is transferred from the second transmission body 2 to the first transmission body 1. Such transmission is In the state of the above structure setting, it can be realized by setting as required through operation.

The present invention also provides a production system for batteries.
