[0067] The present application is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0068] refer to Figure 1 A device for automatically processing batteries mainly includes a feeding clamp module 1, a tray feeding clamp module 2, a laser coding module 3, a turntable module 4, a code scanning module 5, an NG pull belt 6, a tray moving module 7, a tray feeding module 8, a tray unloading module 9, a smoke purifier 10, a feeding clamp 11, and a feeding pull belt 12.

[0069] Implementation steps:

[0070] In the first step, the loading jaw module 1 loads the materials and places the four batteries from the loading pull belt 12 into the loading fixture 11 .

[0071] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3, feeding clamp module 1, the first finger cylinder 28, the second finger cylinder 29, the third finger cylinder 35, and the fourth finger cylinder 36 drive the first clamp 33, the second clamp 34, the third clamp 37, and the fourth clamp 38 to clamp 39 as the first battery, 40 as the second battery, 41 as the third battery, and 42 as the fourth battery. The first servo motor 24 drives the first screw module to rotate, and drives the above batteries to move upward to a safe position. The line air pipe is installed in the third drag chain 26 for flexible movement. The second servo motor 22 drives the first belt module 21 to rotate, and transports batteries 39, 40, 41, and 42 to the top of the feeding fixture 11. The column 23 is used to install the belt module 21.

[0072] Figure 3 In the embodiment, the first finger cylinder 28 and the second finger cylinder 29 are mounted on the adapter plate 43, the adapter plate 43 is mounted on the slider of the first guide rail slider 31, the adapter plate 43 and the buffer plate 44 are connected together, and the piston rod of the fourth cylinder 30 and the buffer plate 44 are connected together. When the batteries 39, 40, 41, 42 move from the upper feeding pull belt 12 to the upper feeding fixture 11, the fourth cylinder 30 can drive the buffer plate 44 to slide, and at the same time drive the first finger cylinder 28 , the second finger cylinder 29 and batteries 41, 42 move toward batteries 39, 40 to complete the distance change, so that the distances between batteries 39, 40, 41, 42 are equal (because in this actual production line, the distance between batteries 39, 40 on the loading pull belt 12 is a1, the distance between batteries 41, 42 is a2, and the distance between batteries 40, 41 is a3. a1=a2≠a3, so the distance change is required. If a1=a2=a3 in other production lines, no distance change is required).

[0073] Figure 3 In the embodiment, the first hydraulic buffer 32 is fixed on the mounting frame 45, and the hydraulic buffer 46 is mounted on the buffer plate 44. When the buffer plate 44 slides toward the fourth cylinder 30, the buffer plate 44 will hit the first hydraulic buffer 32 to play a buffering role. When the buffer plate 44 slides away from the fourth cylinder 30, the second hydraulic buffer 46 will hit the mounting frame 45 to play a buffering role. When the battery 39, 40, 41, 42 moves to the top of the loading fixture 11, the first servo motor 24 drives the first screw module 25 to rotate, driving the battery to move downward into the loading fixture 11. 28 is the first finger cylinder, 29 is the second finger cylinder, 35 is the third finger cylinder, and 36 is the fourth finger cylinder to drive the clamps 33, 34, 37, 38 to release the battery 39, 40, 41, 42. The first servo motor 24 drives the first screw module 25 to rotate, driving the empty clamps 33, 34, 37, 38 to rise to the safe position, and the loading is completed.

[0074] In the second step, the loading fixture 11 clamps the four batteries.

[0075] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 The loading fixture 11 mainly includes an opening and clamping push block 64, a second guide rail slider 71, a clamping spring 72, a first movable clamping block 73, a fixed clamping block 74, a fixture bottom plate 75, a first fixed frame 76, a spring baffle 77, a screw 78, and a pressing plate 79. The opening and clamping push block 64 and the first fixed frame 76 are fixed together, the first fixed frame 76 is mounted on the slider of the second guide rail slider 71, the guide rail of the second guide rail slider 71 is mounted on the fixture bottom plate 75, the first fixed frame 76 and the first movable clamping block 73 are fixed together, the pressing plate 79 is fixed on the fixed frame 76, the spring baffle 77 is fixed on the fixture bottom plate 75, the screw 78 passes through the spring baffle 77 and is fixed on the pressing plate 79, and the clamping spring 72 is sleeved on the screw 78. When the fifth cylinder 51 pushes the clamping plate 63 forward, the clamping plate 63 pushes the clamping push block 64 to compress the clamping spring 72, and the distance between the first movable clamping block 73 and the fixed clamping block 74 becomes larger to place the batteries 39, 40, 41, 42. After the batteries 39, 40, 41, 42 are placed, the fifth cylinder 51 pulls the clamping plate 63 backward, and the first movable clamping block 73 on the clamp moves toward the fixed clamping block 74 under the elastic force of the clamping spring 72 to clamp the batteries 39, 40, 41, 42. The third hydraulic buffer 62 plays a buffering role during clamping.

[0076] After the clamp is clamped, the sides of the four batteries are pressed against the fixed clamping block 74, which ensures the focal length of the coding of each battery in each set of clamps. Compared with other coding methods, the accuracy of the coding focal length is guaranteed.

[0077] In the third step, the turntable module 4 rotates.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , the turntable 58 is fixed on the DD motor 53, and the DD motor 53 can drive the turntable 58 to rotate. There are 4 sets of identical fixtures installed on the turntable 58, which are evenly distributed in 4 stations. When the motor 53 rotates 90° each time, the 4 stations can be switched in sequence. The 4 stations are respectively the loading station, the code engraving station, the code scanning station, and the unloading station. The fixtures on the 4 stations are named loading fixture 11, the code engraving fixture 55, the code scanning fixture 56, and the unloading fixture 57 in sequence. After the loading is completed on the loading fixture 11, the turntable rotates 90° and engraves the code at the code engraving fixture 55. After engraving the code, the turntable rotates 90° and scans the code at the code scanning fixture 56. After scanning the code, the turntable rotates 90° and unloads the material at the unloading fixture 57.

[0101] High production efficiency. Each time 4 batteries are transferred at the same time, in actual production, the equipment can produce 30 batteries per minute.

[0102] The coding fixture is simple and reliable. The fixture is clamped by spring force, pressing the sides of the four batteries onto the fixed clamping block, ensuring the coding focal length of each battery in each fixture, and ensuring the accuracy of the coding focal length compared to other coding methods.
