The translational drive mechanism is specifically, but not limited to, a cylinder 25. Therefore, the supporting plate 221 and the plurality of battery supporting blocks 222 thereon and the batteries positioned thereon can be pulled to the leftmost end or the rightmost end of the bottom plate 24, so that the stacker 6 can clamp the batteries to the loading and unloading mechanism 1 or the forming/separating cabinet 4 or the rest shelf 5 nearby. Since the first battery transfer mechanism 2 and the second battery transfer mechanism 3 respectively adopt a double-layer structure, each layer structure of the first battery transfer mechanism 2 and the second battery transfer mechanism 3 respectively includes the battery positioning module 22, the transfer manipulator 23, the bottom plate 24 and the translational driving mechanism (i.e. the air cylinder 25), as shown in fig. 15, the two layers structure of the first battery transfer mechanism 2 and the second battery transfer mechanism 3 are respectively disposed on the frame 21 thereof.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 17, the transfer robot 23 may move not only up and down, but also along a guide rail 25 provided in the left-right direction of the frame. The transfer manipulator 23 is provided with two clamping jaw parts which are distributed in a front-back opposite mode, each clamping jaw part is provided with two clamping jaws, and therefore the transfer manipulator 23 can clamp two batteries at a time. When the transfer manipulator 23 works, the battery is clamped by moving downwards, then moves upwards and moves to the corresponding position along the guide rail, then moves downwards, and the clamped battery is placed in the proper position. When the transfer manipulator 23 clamps the battery 7, two lateral narrow faces of the battery 7 are clamped, and two lateral wide faces of the battery are easy to deform under the stress, so that the transfer manipulator is not suitable for clamping by clamping jaws.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 18, the formation/separation cabinet 4 is internally provided with a multi-layer structure, and each layer is respectively provided with a battery positioning needle bed 41, and the battery positioning needle bed 41 is provided with a battery positioning structure. The stationary shelf 5 is also provided with a multi-layer structure, and each layer is provided with a battery positioning structure. The battery positioning needle bed 41 and the battery positioning structure on the stationary shelf 5 are constructed in the same or similar manner as the support plate 221 and the combination of the plurality of battery support blocks 222 thereon. Therefore, when the batteries are clamped to the battery positioning needle bed 41 or the stationary shelf 5, the batteries are limited in the left-right direction, thereby realizing accurate positioning of the batteries in the formation/separation cabinet 4 and the stationary shelf 5. The number of the formation/separation cabinets 4 and the stationary shelves 5 is two, but not limited thereto.
The invention relates to a battery formation/capacity division system, which has the following working principle:
The lower layer feeding and discharging pull belt 11 conveys 2 batteries once, after the lower layer feeding and discharging pull belt is in place, the transfer manipulator at the lower layer of the first battery transfer mechanism 2 stretches out and grabs 2 batteries to be placed on the battery positioning module at the lower layer of the first battery transfer mechanism 2, and the circulation is repeated until the battery positioning module at the lower layer of the first battery transfer mechanism 2 is fully filled with 16 batteries. Next, the forks 647 of the stacker 6 are extended, and after the 16 batteries are gripped by the battery gripping robot toward the first battery transfer mechanism 2, the stacker 6 transfers the 16 batteries to the battery positioning needle bed 41 corresponding to the formation/separation cabinet 4. After the formation or the capacity division of the batteries is completed in the formation/capacity division cabinet 4, a fork 647 of the stacker 6 extends out, a battery clamping manipulator facing the formation/capacity division cabinet 4 clamps 16 batteries from the formation/capacity division cabinet 4, the 16 batteries are conveyed to a battery positioning module at the upper layer of the first battery transfer mechanism 2, the battery is clamped onto the upper layer feeding and discharging pull belt 12 by a transfer manipulator at the upper layer of the first battery transfer mechanism 2 for discharging, and the transfer manipulator at the upper layer of the first battery transfer mechanism 2 clamps 2 batteries at one time and needs to clamp 8 times. The upper layer feeding and discharging pull belt 12 conveys 16 batteries to one end close to the second battery transfer mechanism 3, the transfer manipulator on the upper layer of the second battery transfer mechanism 3 stretches out and grabs 2 batteries to be placed on the battery positioning module on the upper layer of the second battery transfer mechanism 3, and the circulation is repeated until the battery positioning module on the upper layer of the second battery transfer mechanism 3 is full of 16 batteries. Then, the forks 647 of the stacker 6 are extended, and after the battery gripping robot arm facing the second battery transfer mechanism 3 grips 16 batteries on the upper layer of the second battery transfer mechanism 3, the stacker 6 conveys the 16 batteries to the stationary shelf 5 to be stationary. After the standing, the fork 647 of the stacker 6 stretches out, the battery clamping manipulator facing the standing shelf 5 clamps 16 batteries from the standing shelf 5, the 16 batteries are conveyed to the battery positioning module at the lower layer of the second battery transfer mechanism 3, the transfer manipulator at the lower layer of the second battery transfer mechanism 3 clamps the batteries to the lower layer of the upper and lower material pulling belt 13 for discharging, and the transfer manipulator at the lower layer of the second battery transfer mechanism 3 clamps 2 batteries at a time and clamps 8 times.
The battery formation/capacity-division system provided by the invention can enable the battery to move among different devices without using a tray when being formed/divided, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the production cost, and avoiding the influence of the phenomena of position deviation, toppling and the like of the battery on the formation/capacity-division effect. According to the invention, after the tray is canceled, the pull belt is adopted to replace roller conveying, the battery is directly conveyed through the pull belt, a tray disassembling station of a robot is omitted, auxiliary equipment can directly work on a pull belt line, the cost of production line equipment is greatly reduced, and the site space is saved.
According to the battery formation/capacity-division system, when the battery clamping manipulator clamps/releases the battery, the whole manipulator does not need to move up and down, but only moves in the up-down direction by a small displacement, so that the requirement on the movement space in the height direction is low, the internal space of the existing formation/capacity-division cabinet can be met, and the size of the existing formation/capacity-division cabinet does not need to be changed. If the transfer manipulator shown in fig. 17 is used instead of the battery clamping manipulator, the transfer manipulator needs to move up and down as a whole, so that the required up and down movement space is larger, which obviously cannot be satisfied for the existing formation/separation cabinet.
The battery formation/capacity division system of the invention does not involve parts (such as a control part for controlling the coordinated actions of a battery transmission device, a stacker and the like) which are the same as or can be realized by adopting the prior art.
The above embodiments are only used for further illustrating a battery formation/capacity-separation system of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments, and any simple modification, equivalent variation and modification of the above embodiments according to the technical substance of the present invention falls within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
