[0040] During the production process of traditional cylindrical lithium batteries, various components need to be assembled. Some production equipment is semi-automatic production equipment. When such equipment is in production, manual assistance is required for loading and unloading. When the product enters the mass production stage, the efficiency of this production method is difficult to meet the production requirements of mass production output. Some production equipment adopts an automatic unloading structure, such as a manipulator assisting in unloading, etc. This type of unloading structure is on the one hand relatively complex in structure and difficult to form an integral whole with the overall production equipment, and on the other hand, the input cost is relatively high, which is not conducive to the conservation of production materials.

[0041] The present utility model proposes a cylindrical battery unloading structure 100 to solve the above problems.

[0042] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5, in an embodiment of the present utility model, the cylindrical battery blanking structure is mainly used for blanking cylindrical lithium batteries from relevant equipment after assembly production. In the traditional production process of cylindrical lithium batteries, some production equipment is semi-automatic production equipment. When such equipment is in production, manual assistance is required for loading and unloading. When the product enters the mass production stage, the efficiency of this production method is difficult to meet the production demand of mass production output. Some production equipment adopts an automatic blanking structure, such as a manipulator assisting in blanking, etc. This type of blanking structure is, on the one hand, relatively complex in structure and difficult to form an integral whole with the overall production equipment, and on the other hand, the investment cost is relatively high, which is not conducive to the conservation of production materials. Considering the above problems, a cylindrical battery blanking structure is proposed in this embodiment, which mainly includes a base 1 and a blanking structure. Among them, the blanking structure includes a material taking structure 2 and a conveying structure 7. Specifically, during the actual working process, first, the output end of the material taking structure 2 transfers the assembled cylindrical battery at the loading and unloading station of the base 1 to one end of the conveying structure 7. During the transfer of the battery finished product, the output end of the material taking structure 2 is correspondingly arranged above the loading and unloading station and the conveying structure 7, and the movement stroke of its material taking action is relatively small. After placing the battery finished product on one end of the conveying structure 7, the conveying structure 7 can automatically carry out the battery finished product out.

[0043] Specifically, the material taking structure 2 includes an adjustment component 21 and a grasping component 22. The adjustment component 21 is installed at the side position of the conveying structure 7, and the grasping component 22 is arranged at the output end of the adjustment component 21. The adjustment component 21 has the ability to adjust the position in the horizontal and vertical directions, and can drive the material taking component to perform the material taking and placing actions in the vertical direction, and at the same time can drive the grasping component 22 to move the battery assembled at the loading and unloading station to one end of the conveying structure 7. The grasping component 22 is specifically set as a handling structure of a clamping structure, and can clamp and release the processed cylindrical battery.

[0044] Among them, the adjustment component 21 includes a mounting member 211 and a driving member 212. The mounting member 211 includes a columnar member 2111, a horizontal guide rail member 2112, and an L-shaped mounting plate 2113. The horizontal guide rail member 2112 is mounted on the vertical side wall of the columnar member 2111 through a guiding and mounting structure on its lower end portion, so that the horizontal guide rail member 2112 has a movement stroke in the vertical direction. During specific operation, the first driving member in the driving member 212 is mounted on the columnar member 2111. When it operates, it can drive the horizontal guide rail member 2112 to move in the vertical direction, thereby driving the gripping component 22 on the L-shaped mounting plate 2113 to move in the vertical direction. After the gripping component 22 finishes taking materials, the first driving member drives the material-taking area to move upward, so as to take out the processed battery products from the carrier. At the same time, the second driving member on the horizontal guide rail member 2112 drives the L-shaped mounting plate 2113 to move on the horizontal plane, thereby moving the battery products above the blanking station to a position above one end of the conveying structure 7. Then, the first driving member drives the gripping component 22 to move downward again, and the material-taking component places the processed battery products at one end of the conveying structure 7. The coordinated action of the first driving member, the second driving member, and the gripping component 22 can quickly complete the blanking operation. It should be noted that the L-shaped mounting plate 2113 correspondingly arranges the gripping component 22 above the conveying structure 7 and the blanking station, and adopts a single-side structure for installation, which can enable the entire conveying structure 7 and the material-taking structure 2 to jointly form a relatively compact overall blanking structure state, which is beneficial to reducing the overall structure specification.

[0045] Among them, the L-shaped mounting plate 2113 includes a first plate portion 2114 and a second plate portion 2115. The grasping assembly 22 includes a first finger cylinder 221 and two picking claws 222. The first finger cylinder 221 is installed on the downward end surface of the second plate portion 2115. During the actual picking process, first, the second driving member drives the first finger cylinder 221 to the position directly above the blanking station. The first driving member drives the first finger cylinder 221 to move downward. The first finger cylinder 221 drives the two picking claws 222 to move towards each other, so as to clamp the battery products in the carrier at the blanking station. Then, the first driving member and the second driving member move in the reverse direction to drive the first finger cylinder 221 to the position above the conveying structure 7. Then, the first finger cylinder 221 drives the two picking claws 222 to move away from each other, so as to release the assembled battery products. During this process, on the opposite end surfaces of the two picking claws 222, there are two corresponding flexible clamping blocks 2221. On the opposite end surfaces of the two flexible clamping blocks 2221, there are corresponding arc grooves 2222. The radian of the arc groove 2222 is set corresponding to the arc-shaped peripheral wall of the battery product. And chamfer structures are provided on both sides of the arc groove 2222, which can ensure that the battery product can be fixed at the middle position of the arc groove 2222 when clamping the battery product.

[0046] In addition, in order to improve production efficiency, the grasping assembly 22 can pick and place two battery products at a time. Correspondingly, two arc grooves 2222 are provided on one flexible clamping block 2221. Also considering that the accuracy of the picking position of the first finger cylinder 221 is directly related to its actual installation position, in this embodiment, an adjustment groove 2116 is provided on the second plate portion 2115, and one end of the first finger cylinder 221 is fixedly installed at the adjustment groove 2116 through bolts. During the actual installation process, the actual installation position of the first finger cylinder 221 can be adjusted according to the actual position of the carrier at the blanking station.

[0047] Specifically, the first driving member and the second driving member are both provided as push rod members. The two push rod members are the first electric push rod 2121 and the second electric push rod 2122 respectively. Specifically, a first mounting portion 3 is provided on one side of the column member 2111 corresponding to the feeding structure, and a second mounting portion 4 is provided on one side of the horizontal guide rail member 2112 corresponding to the feeding structure. The first electric push rod 2121 is mounted on the first mounting portion 3, and its output end is connected to the second mounting portion 4. A sliding plate portion 2117 is further provided on the horizontal guide rail member 2112. The first plate portion 2114 is mounted on the sliding plate portion 2117. The second electric push rod 2122 is mounted at one end of the horizontal guide rail member 2112, and the output end of the second electric push rod 2122 is connected to one end of the sliding plate portion 2117. When the second electric push rod 2122 works, it drives the first plate portion 2114 to move on the horizontal plane. The coordinated action of the first electric push rod 2121 and the second electric push rod 2122 can drive the first finger cylinder 221 to move on the horizontal plane and the vertical plane.

[0048] In the above embodiments, the driving structure is set as a common push rod structure and a cylinder structure, with a relatively low overall cost, which is beneficial to the saving of production materials, and the overall structure is relatively compact, which is more conducive to forming a complete production system with the whole machine equipment.

[0049] In this embodiment, a buffer structure is provided at one end of the horizontal guide rail member 2112 away from the second electric push rod 2122. Specifically, the buffer structure includes a spring rod 5. When the second electric push rod 2122 drives the L-shaped mounting plate 2113 to move towards the blanking station on the horizontal guide rail member 2112, one end of the second plate portion 2115 first contacts one end of the spring rod 5, thereby buffering.

[0050] Guide rods 2118 extending in the vertical direction are provided on two opposite vertical side walls of the column member 2111. When the horizontal guide rail member 2112 moves in the vertical direction, two slider portions 6 respectively slide on the two guide rods 2118 for guiding, thereby increasing the stability of the horizontal guide rail member 2112 during the movement process.

[0051] The conveying structure 7 includes a support frame body 71 and a belt feeding assembly 72. The belt feeding assembly 72 is mounted on the support frame body 71, and one end of the belt feeding assembly 72 is arranged corresponding to the blanking station. The first finger cylinder 221 is arranged above the end of the belt feeding assembly 72. In the above structure, setting the movement direction of the first finger cylinder 221 on the horizontal plane corresponding to the feeding direction of the belt feeding assembly 72 can effectively reduce the layout space of the mounting member 211 and the driving member 212.

[0052] In addition, in order to ensure the stable transportation of the battery product on the belt feeding assembly 72, baffle structures 711 are provided at both sides of the support frame body 71 corresponding to the belt feeding assembly 72 to limit and resist the battery product. Among them, the belt feeding assembly 72 is a conventional existing structure, which generally consists of a conveyor belt, a motor structure and an installation roller structure, and will not be elaborated here one by one.

[0053] The above is only an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformation made under the technical concept of the present invention by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields, is included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
