[0001] This invention relates to the field of continuous feeding equipment, and more particularly to a three-dimensional buffer line. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of assembling individual cylindrical cells into a battery pack, each cell needs to be coded for traceability. Since the coding process is completed instantly, the extremely fast throughput process places high performance requirements on the front-end material supply. Within the limited workstation area, traditional hopper circulating feeders are difficult to meet the processing requirements of high-throughput production lines. Operators need to move materials back and forth, and the coding line needs to be intermittently idle for this purpose, resulting in low production efficiency and high labor intensity. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The main technical problem solved by this invention is to provide a three-dimensional buffer line that continuously inputs battery materials into the buffer turntable through the feeding line. On the one hand, the turntable is stacked three-dimensionally to increase the buffer capacity.

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] like Figure 1-6 As shown, embodiments of the present invention include:

[0021] A three-dimensional buffer line includes a machine base 1, a buffer turntable 2, a barrier 3, a centrifugal feeding mechanism 4, an input / output interface 5, a feeding hub 6, a discharging hub 7, a loading line 8, a diversion channel 9, and a unloading line. The machine base 1 has two layers of buffer turntables 2 arranged three-dimensionally. The edge of the buffer turntable 2 is supported by a barrier 3. The surface of the buffer turntable 2 is provided with a centrifugal feeding mechanism 4. The barrier 3 has an input / output interface 5. The machine base 1 is respectively equipped with a feeding hub 6 and a discharging hub 7 occupying the input / output interface 5. The feeding hub 6 rotates and connects to the loading line 8. The discharging hub 7 has several diversion channels 9 built in it. Each diversion channel 9 rotates and connects to the unloading line.

[0022] The buffer turntable 2 is connected by a geared motor 201 through a geared disc spindle 202. The geared disc spindle 202 is erected by a bearing seat 101 on the machine base 1. The buffer turntable 2 has a flange 203 and a support 204 spliced ​​on both sides of the shaft. The support 204 is coaxially fixed on the geared disc spindle 202 by a tight sleeve 205. The buffer turntable 2 is coaxially and equally spaced in layers on the machine base 1.

[0023] Furthermore, the centrifugal feeding mechanism 4 is composed of a bracket 401, an optical axis beam 402, a tensioning seat 403, a directional guide plate 404, and a guiding swing arm 405. The optical axis beam 402 is horizontally spanned across half of the disk surface of each layer of buffer turntable 2 via the bracket 401. The tensioning seat 403 is provided on the optical axis beam 402, and the directional guide plate 404 and the guiding swing arm 405 are suspended from the tensioning seat 403.

[0024] Furthermore, the directional guide plate 404 and the guiding swing arm 405 are both arc-shaped and connected end to end, and deflect from the center of the buffer turntable 2 to the edge.

[0025] Furthermore, a bushing 406 is provided under the tensioning seat 403, and a bearing 407 is provided inside the bushing 406 and a torsion spring 408 is engaged therein. A rotating shaft 409, which is also engaged with the torsion spring 408, is vertically inserted into the bearing 407. The lower end of the rotating shaft 409 is vertically connected to the guide swing arm 405. A gear 410 is provided at the upper end of the rotating shaft 409. The gear 410 meshes with two sets of gear dampers 411 on the tensioning seat 403. The gear dampers 411 run in opposite directions. A position sensing plate 412 is coaxially connected to the end face of the gear 410 in the radial direction. The position sensing plate 412 cooperates with a photoelectric sensor 413.

[0026] Furthermore, the feeding hub 6 is provided with a stacking platform 601 with two ends facing 180° in opposite directions. Material guide gates 602 are installed at both ends of the stacking platform 601. A steering wheel 603 driven by a motor is suspended on the bottom surface of the feeding hub 6. The path of the stacking platform 601 matches the outer edge of the steering wheel 603. The exit route of the stacking platform 601 is tangent to the outer edge of the buffer turntable 2.

[0027] Furthermore, the diversion channels 9 are adjacent to each other and parallel, and the inlet of the diversion channel 9 is offset and moved back along the rotation direction of the buffer turntable 2. The inner wall of the enclosure 3 is provided with anti-blocking protrusions 91, and the anti-blocking protrusions 91 are arranged in a semi-circular arc shape at the front end of the diversion channel 9.

[0028] In the process of assembling individual cylindrical cells into a battery pack, each cell needs to be coded for traceability. Since the coding process is completed instantly, the extremely fast throughput process places high performance requirements on the front-end material supply. Within the limited workstation area, traditional hopper circulating feeders are difficult to meet the processing requirements of high-throughput production lines. Operators need to move materials back and forth, and the coding line needs to be intermittently idle for this purpose, resulting in low production efficiency and high labor intensity.

[0029] To address the material shortage problem caused by excessive production line throughput, this embodiment abandons the traditional material pre-loading and re-handling feeding mode, and instead... Figure 1The equipment is directly connected to the front-end feeding line 8. The incoming material is first diverted to the feeding line 8 via a steering wheel 603, which is the same as the feeding hub 6. The first-level buffer turntable 2 is fed by the horizontally placed feeding line 8 shown in the figure, and the second-level buffer turntable 2 is fed by the upwardly guided feeding line 8 shown in the figure. Each buffer turntable 2 provides an independent area to buffer materials.

[0030] In this embodiment, the battery entering the feeding line 8 is in an upright position. The battery flows into the stacking platform 601 and is pushed by the steering wheel 603 to make a 180-degree turn. After the turn, the line is tangent to the edge of the buffer turntable 2, so that the battery is guided from the edge of the buffer turntable along the enclosure 3 to the surface of the buffer turntable 2.

[0031] As the batteries enter the buffer turntable 2, they gradually accumulate during rotation. The directional guide plate 404 guides the batteries to the guiding swing arm 405. The guiding swing arm 405 is controlled by the gear damper 411 to swing within a limited range. This swinging process can alleviate the impact on itself caused by the battery accumulation and also prevent the batteries from being squeezed during the narrowing process. The guiding swing arm 405 can narrow the channel width of the buffer turntable 2 to allow the batteries to flow out.

[0032] An anti-blocking protrusion 91 is provided on the enclosure 3, directly opposite the outlet of the end of the guide arm 405. The anti-blocking protrusion 91 is arc-shaped, thereby effectively alleviating the problem of battery accumulation at the outlet. Because the batteries are distributed at different radii of the buffer turntable 2, the batteries near the edge first enter the first branch channel 9 closest to the edge. The batteries near the middle of the radius cannot flow into the first branch channel 9, but flow into the second branch channel 9 downstream of the first branch channel 9 with the buffer turntable 2. Similarly, the highest battery near the axis flows into the third branch channel 9. Each branch channel 9 flows into different workstations for simultaneous processing.

[0033] In summary, this invention provides a three-dimensional buffer line that continuously feeds battery materials into the buffer turntable 2 through the feeding line 8. On the one hand, the turntable is stacked three-dimensionally to increase the buffer capacity. On the other hand, the input / output interface 5 is matched with the stacking hub to control the rhythm of the downstream production line, thereby achieving the continuous feeding requirement of one to three or more scales. It has strong performance, high working efficiency, and greatly reduces labor intensity.

[0034] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of the present invention specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
