Among the known techniques, there is a rotating disk type production line for battery cells. The various stations of the production line are arranged on a turntable. Specifically, for example, the turntable is provided with a loading station, a blanking station, a processing station and the like. The charging station and the discharging station are respectively butted with a flower basket for loading the battery pieces. However, since the stations of the production line for the carousel-type cell are arranged in a ring, the floor space of the production line becomes large. In the case of increasing the production line due to the need of increasing the production capacity of the battery pieces, the floor area of the parallel production lines is increased.

Referring to fig. 1 and 5, the production line 100a is rearranged for this purpose. Specifically, the battery sheet production line 100a (hereinafter, also simply referred to as "production line 100a" for convenience of description) similarly includes a processing unit 105, and the battery sheet is held by the processing unit 105 and processed in the processing unit 105. The processing section 105 has, for example, a processing station 104, and a laser 106 is provided above the processing station 104, and the laser 106 is used, for example, to laser dope the surface of the cell held at the processing station 104. The production line 100a further includes an upper line body 102 and a lower line body 103. The upper wire body 102 and the lower wire body 103 are respectively provided in parallel on both sides (left and right sides in the drawing) of a processing station 104 of the processing portion 105, the upper wire body 102 has a loading station 102a, and the lower wire body 103 has a unloading station 103a.

In the case where a plurality of such production lines 100a are arranged in the left-right direction, the floor area required for the production line 100a as a whole can be shortened. In addition, since the upper wire body 102 and the lower wire body 103 can be arranged in parallel, the positions of the loading station 102a of the upper wire body 102 and the unloading station 103a of the lower wire body 103 in the front-rear direction can be kept consistent. And thus easily transfers the flower basket 10a between the loading station 102a and the unloading station 103a.

Referring to fig. 1 to 4 with the assistance of fig. 5, a flower basket transfer device 300 according to embodiment 1 is butted against a loading station 102a and a unloading station 103a of a battery piece production line 100a of the above-described type. Specifically, the transfer device 300 for a flower basket includes: a transfer module 301, a loading section 302, and a unloading section 303. Wherein the transfer module 301 is drivable in a linear direction (left-right direction in the drawing). The loading section 302 is provided at one end (for example, one end in the right direction) in the driving direction of the transfer module 301. The loading section 302 includes a loading module 304 and a first holding section 305 mounted on the loading module 304. The first holding portion 305 holds the flower basket 10a. The loading module 304 may drive the first holding portion 305 in the up-down direction to dock the flower basket 10a with the loading station 102a or with the transfer module 301. The blanking portion 303 is provided at the other end (for example, one end in the left direction) in the driving direction of the transfer module 301. The blanking unit 303 includes a blanking module 306 and a second holding unit 307 mounted on the blanking module 306. The second holding portion 307 holds the flower basket 10a. The blanking module 306 may drive the second holding portion 307 in the up-down direction to dock the flower basket 10a with the blanking station 103a or with the transfer module 301. In a state where the flower basket 10a and the transfer module 301 are docked, the flower basket 10a may be transferred by the transfer module 301 between the loading section 302 and the unloading section 303.

According to the basket transfer device 300 of the present embodiment, the basket 10a can be transferred in a linear direction. Therefore, the cell production line 100a in which the basket 10a is aligned with the loading station 102a and the unloading station 103a can be butted thereto.

Specifically, the operation flow of the basket transfer device 300 according to the present embodiment is as follows:

after the basket 10a is obtained by the loading portion 302 provided at one end of the transfer module 301 in the right direction, the loading module 304 drives the first holding portion 305 to descend stepwise in the lower direction to butt the basket 10a against the loading station 102a. A robot (not shown) provided in the upper wire body 102 of the production line 100a transfers the battery pieces in the basket 10a to the loading station 102a of the upper wire body 102. Thereby completing the loading work of the battery piece.

When the first holding portion 305 is driven to a position where it is butted against the transfer module 301, the flower basket 10a held by the first holding portion 305 is driven by the transfer module 301, and is linearly transferred from the right direction to the left direction, and is transferred to the second holding portion 307 of the discharging portion 303 in a state where it is butted against the transfer module 301.

Next, the blanking module 306 drives the second holding portion 307 to ascend step by step, so that the flower basket 10a is butted with the blanking station 103a of the lower wire body 103. A robot (not shown) disposed in the lower wire body 103 of the production line 100a transfers the battery pieces at the blanking station 103a to the basket 10a, thereby completing the blanking of the battery pieces.

The basket transfer device 300 according to the present embodiment may be connected to the basket loading and unloading device 200 (described later). The basket feeding and discharging device 200 may be provided in front of the basket transfer device 300, for example. The basket feeding and discharging device 200 receives the basket 10a from another production facility, transfers the basket 10a to the basket transfer device 300, and transfers the basket 10a from the basket transfer device 300 to another facility.

The transfer module 301 may be, for example, a belt line, a chain line, or a single-axis robot. Taking a belt line as an example, for example, the transfer module 301 may be integrally formed by one belt line, or may be formed by splicing a plurality of belt lines in the left-right direction.

With continued reference to fig. 2, 3, and 4, as described above, the loading section 302 is provided at one end in the right direction of the driving direction of the transfer module 301. From a top view, the driving stroke of the transfer module 301 may cover the working area of the loading portion 302, so that the flower basket 10a can be easily transferred to the transfer module 301. The feeding module 304 includes, for example, a motor-driven single-axis robot. The first holding portion 305 is mounted on the single-axis robot of the loading module 304, and is driven to move in the vertical direction.

In some embodiments, in order to interface with the basket feeding and discharging device 200, the first holding portion 305 may include a first transfer portion 308 for supporting the basket 10a, and the first transfer portion 308 may be driven in a direction (front-rear direction in the drawing) orthogonal to the driving direction of the transfer module 301. For example, the first relay section 308 may include a relay line that is rotatable forward or backward in the forward and backward directions. The transit line may be selected from, for example, a belt line or a chain line. When the basket feeding and discharging device 200 needs to be docked, the feeding module 304 drives the first transfer unit 308 to a position where the basket feeding and discharging device 200 is docked, and the transfer line of the first transfer unit 308 receives the basket 10a from the basket feeding and discharging device 200. Next, the loading module 304 drives the first transfer unit 308 in the up-down direction, thereby docking the flower basket 10a with the loading station 102a of the production line 100 a. By allowing the first transfer unit 308 to rotate forward or backward in the front-rear direction, the basket 10a can be directly obtained from the basket feeding and discharging device 200, and the structure can be simplified while improving the carrying efficiency of the basket 10a.

In addition, in order to more easily interface with the basket feeding and discharging device 200, the first holding portion 305 may protrude from the transfer module 301 along a side opposite to the cell production line 100 a. For example, the relay line of the first holding section 305 may protrude from the transfer module 301 in the front direction. This makes it possible to reduce the distance between the transfer line and the basket feeding and discharging device 200, to increase the distance in the front-rear direction between the transfer module 301 and the basket feeding and discharging device 200, and to prevent interference between the transfer module 301 and the basket feeding and discharging device 200.

With continued reference to fig. 4 and with additional reference to fig. 2 and 3, as mentioned above, the driving stroke of the transfer module 301 may cover the working area of the loading portion 302 from the top view, so that the flower basket 10a can be easily transferred to the transfer module 301. Specifically, when the first holding portion 305 is in a position of interfacing with the transfer module 301, the stroke of the transfer module 301 covers the first transit portion 308 in its driving direction. For example, the transfer module 301 selects a belt line. The transfer module 301 includes a rear-side belt 309 and a front-side belt unit 310. Wherein, the rear belt 309 crosses the feeding station 102a and the discharging station 103a in the left-right direction. The transfer line of the first transfer section 308 is arranged in the left-right direction within the range that the rear belt 309 can cover. The transfer line of the first transfer unit 308 is located forward of the rear belt 309 in the front-rear direction. The front belt unit 310 may include, for example, two first front belts 311 and a first intermediate belt 312 disposed between the two first front belts 311 in the left-right direction. The first front belt 311 and the first intermediate belt 312 are spaced apart from each other by a gap so as to be offset from a transfer line of the first transfer unit 308 and a transfer line of a second transfer unit 314 (described later). This allows the drive stroke of the transfer module 301 to cover the first transfer unit 308 of the loading unit 302.

To transfer the flower basket 10a onto the transfer module 301, while the first holding portion 305 is in the position of abutting against the transfer module 301, the first transfer portion 308 is driven by the loading module 304 to a position lower than the supporting surface of the transfer module 301, so that the flower basket 10a is supported by the transfer module 301. Specifically, since the stroke of the transfer module 301 covers the first relay section 308 in the driving direction thereof, and the line of the transfer module 301 can be shifted from the line of the first relay section 308 in the left-right direction, the first relay section 308 can be lowered to a position lower than the supporting surface of the transfer module 301 (i.e., the supporting surface of the belt line). When the transfer line of the first transfer unit 308 is lower than the line of the transfer module 301, the flower basket 10a is detached from the first transfer unit 308 and falls on the line of the transfer module 301, so that it can be driven by the transfer module 301.

With continued reference to fig. 2 and 3, in some embodiments, in order to prevent the flower basket 10a from shaking, the first holding portion 305 may further include a first pressing portion 313, and the first pressing portion 313 is disposed above the first turn portion 308 and clamps the flower basket 10a together with the first turn portion 308. Specifically, the first pressing portion 313 may be directly mounted on the single-axis robot of the loading module 304. The first pressing portion 313 may include, for example, a driving element of a cylinder, a motor, or the like and a pressing block driven by the driving element in the up-down direction. Thereby, the first pressing portion 313 can reliably press the flower basket 10a against the first transit portion 308, so that the flower basket 10a can be prevented from shaking, and thereby the feeding accuracy of the battery pieces in the flower basket 10a can be improved.

The structure of the blanking portion 303 is substantially the same as that of the loading portion 302.

With continued reference to fig. 2 and 3, for example, the blanking portion 303 is provided at one end in the left direction of the driving direction of the transfer module 301. From a top view, the driving stroke of the transfer module 301 may cover the working area of the blanking portion 303, so that the flower basket 10a can be easily transferred to the transfer module 301. The blanking module 306 includes, for example, a motor-driven single-axis robot. The second holding portion 307 is mounted on the single-axis robot of the blanking module 306, and is driven to move in the vertical direction.

Likewise, the second holding portion 307 may include a second turn portion 314 for supporting the flower basket 10a. The second transfer unit 314 is driven in a direction orthogonal to the driving direction of the transfer module 301, and the second holding unit 307 protrudes from the transfer module 301 in a direction opposite to the production line 100a for battery cells. That is, the second relay unit 314 may include a relay line that can be rotated forward or backward in the front-rear direction, and the relay line of the second relay unit 314 may protrude from the transfer module 301.

Likewise, when the second holding portion 307 is in the position of interfacing with the transfer module 301, the stroke of the transfer module 301 encompasses the second transit portion 314 in its driving direction. The second transfer unit 314 is driven by the blanking module 306 to a position lower than the support surface of the transfer module 301, so that the flower basket 10a is supported by the transfer module 301. That is, since the line of the transfer module 301 and the line of the second relay unit 314 can be shifted in the left-right direction, the second relay unit 314 can be lowered to a position lower than the support surface of the transfer module 301 (i.e., the position of the support surface of the belt line). When the transfer line of the second transfer unit 314 is lower than the line of the transfer module 301, the flower basket 10a is disengaged from the second transfer unit 314 and falls on the line of the transfer module 301, and can be driven by the transfer module 301.

Likewise, the second holding portion 307 may further include a second pressing portion 315, and the second pressing portion 315 is disposed above the second transfer portion 314 and clamps the flower basket 10a together with the second transfer portion 314. The structure of the second pressing portion 315 may be set with reference to the structure of the first pressing portion 313, so that the second pressing portion 315 can reliably press the flower basket 10a against the second transferring portion 314, thereby preventing the flower basket 10a from shaking and thus improving the blanking accuracy of the battery pieces in the flower basket 10a.

Thus, the basket transfer device 300 according to the present embodiment can transfer the basket 10a in the linear direction. Therefore, the cell production line 100a in which the basket 10a is aligned with the loading station 102a and the unloading station 103a can be butted thereto.

Referring to fig. 5, the basket transfer device 300 according to the present embodiment may be connected to the basket feeding and discharging device 200 as described above. The basket feeding and discharging device 200 may be provided in front of the basket transfer device 300, for example. In the case where a plurality of battery sheet production lines 100a are arranged in the left-right direction, the basket feeding and discharging device 200 may be provided so as to cover all the production lines 100a in the left-right direction.

Specifically, the feeding and discharging device 200 for a flower basket may include: a basket feeding part 201, a basket discharging part 202 and a third transfer part 203. The basket loading unit 201 is used for carrying the basket 10a to be transferred to the basket transfer device 300. The basket unloading section 202 is used for conveying the baskets 10a that are taken off from the basket transfer device 300. The third relay section 203 has a docking section 204 and a docking module 205 for driving the docking section 204. The butt portion 204 is used for carrying the flower basket 10a. The stroke of the docking module 205 covers all the basket transfer devices 300 and covers the basket feeding portion 201 and the basket discharging portion 202, so that the docking portion 204 can be docked with each basket transfer device 300, basket feeding portion 201 and basket discharging portion 202.

By using the loading and unloading device 200 for the flower basket, the operation rate can be improved and the occupied area of the production line 100a to the field can be reduced under the condition that a plurality of production lines 100a are provided. Specifically, in the present embodiment, all the basket transfer devices 300 share one basket loading unit 201 and one basket unloading unit 202, and the baskets 10a from the same basket loading unit 201 are conveyed to the basket transfer devices 300 of the different production lines 100a via the third transfer unit 203, and the baskets 10a taken off from the basket transfer devices 300 of the different production lines 100a are conveyed to the basket unloading unit 202 via the third transfer unit 203. Therefore, the operation rates of the basket feeding portion 201 and the basket discharging portion 202 can be greatly improved.

In addition, since the number of steps of the loading station 102a and the unloading station 103a is generally shorter than that of the other stations in each station of the production line 100a, even if one basket loading portion 201 and one basket unloading portion 202 correspond to a plurality of production lines 100a at the same time, the operation efficiency of the whole production line 100a is not affected.

In the description of the present specification, reference to the description of "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "illustrative embodiments", "examples", "specific examples", or "some examples" or the like means that a particular feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the present embodiment.
