Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of battery production equipment, in particular to a battery grading machine. Background Art

[0002] Existing battery grading machines generally use linear feeding, which takes up a large space and requires a larger production workshop, or requires many transfer and transfer mechanisms, resulting in high equipment costs.

[0003] Existing battery grading machines generally use manipulators to transfer materials. This method of transfer is not suitable for transferring materials when multiple production lines are producing at the same time. A transfer mechanism is required. The structure of the current transfer mechanism is relatively traditional and is not suitable for battery production.

[0004] The existing battery grading machine, its conveying production line, generally only has a conveyor belt set on the frame, and the conveyor belt drives the battery to move. The battery on the conveyor belt may be displaced due to friction, which is not conducive to subsequent detection and production.

[0005] Existing battery grading machines generally use manipulators to transfer materials. This method of transfer is not suitable for transferring materials when multiple production lines are producing at the same time. A transfer mechanism is required. The structure of the current transfer mechanism is relatively traditional and is not suitable for battery production.

[0006] The existing battery grading machine needs to use a discharging robot when discharging materials. The existing discharging robot generally only has the function of clamping the battery, and the battery is clamped by hard contact, so it is easy to cause a certain collision to the battery when taking and placing the battery, which may cause damage to the battery.

[0007] Therefore, based on the above-mentioned defects of the existing battery grading machine, it is necessary to improve the existing battery grading machine. Summary of the invention

[0008] The object of the present invention is to provide a battery grading machine in view of the deficiencies in the prior art, which solves the defects of the prior art battery grading machines, such as large space occupation and high equipment cost.

[0010] Furthermore, the feeding and transferring mechanism includes a frame, a conveyor belt is installed on the frame, a fixed rod is arranged horizontally above the conveyor belt, the fixed rod is arranged along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt, and a plurality of rollers are installed on the fixed rod; this can ensure that the battery will not be offset and the operation is smooth.

[0011] Furthermore, the discharging and transferring mechanism includes a frame, a conveyor belt is installed on the frame, a guide bar is installed above the conveyor belt, a front stopper is installed above the discharging end of the conveyor belt, and a push plate is movably installed next to the conveyor belt. The push plate is parallel to the fixed rod, and the battery is pushed into position by the push plate after it is in place, so as to facilitate detection and discharging.

[0012] Furthermore, the conveying production line includes a frame, a conveyor belt is installed on the frame, a rotating shaft is arranged next to the conveyor belt, a baffle is fixed on the rotating shaft, and the baffle rotates above the conveyor belt to separate the batteries at equal distances, so as to facilitate the transmission and detection of the batteries.

[0013] Furthermore, the discharging robot comprises a robot having a top plate and a bottom plate, a movable clamping arm is installed on the bottom surface of the bottom plate, a guide sleeve is installed on the bottom of the bottom plate, the guide rod passes through the guide sleeve and is connected to the top plate, and a spring is provided on the guide rod between the top plate and the bottom plate, which can play a certain buffering role after the clamping arm clamps the battery, thereby not damaging the battery.

[0014] Furthermore, the discharging production line is arranged in the X direction and is located next to the disassembling machine, so that space occupation can be reduced.

[0015] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that the batteries are delivered from an external production line, can be quickly distributed to multiple conveying production lines by the feed transfer mechanism, and can be discharged and transferred by the discharge transfer mechanism and the discharge robot, which can reduce space occupancy, reduce equipment configuration, and reduce equipment costs.
