Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an electrode mounting device, and more particularly to an automatic electrode mounting device for a battery cover. Background Technology

[0002] In the battery manufacturing process, the battery cover is one of the items that needs to be made. In order not to affect the use of the battery, two electrodes need to be installed on the battery cover, and the electrodes are divided into electrode posts.

[0003] Chinese patent CN208368556U discloses a novel assembly structure for a battery cover and terminals. It uses a snap ring fixing method to install the positive and negative terminals onto the battery cover. Compared to the existing nut tightening method, this saves time on manual nut installation and adhesive application, thus improving assembly efficiency. Regarding long-term safety: the snap ring structure will not loosen due to vibration, while threaded structures, even with thread-locking adhesive, still pose a risk of loosening due to vibration, leading to air or liquid leakage. The terminals are machined with annular grooves that mate with the snap rings. Compared to existing terminals, this invention uses snap ring grooves instead of external threads, greatly simplifying the terminal assembly. It also uses a simple T-shaped profile instead of a more complex multi-part profile, improving extrusion molding efficiency. The negative electrode post material has been improved from the original all-copper material to a copper-aluminum composite material, which greatly reduces the volume and weight of the post compared to the original. The material cost is reduced by 1 / 3 compared to the existing post, which can generate considerable profits in long-term mass production. Although the above patent can install the electrode post on the battery cover, it still requires manual installation, which is quite troublesome.

[0004] The present invention aims to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned patents. To this end, an automatic electrode mounting device for battery covers is proposed, which can replace manual installation of electrode posts on battery covers and is more convenient. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To overcome the drawback of the aforementioned patents, which, although capable of mounting electrode posts on the battery cover, still require manual installation and are therefore cumbersome, this invention provides an automatic electrode mounting device for the battery cover that can replace manual installation and is more convenient.

[0006] This invention is achieved through the following technical means:

[0007] An automatic electrode mounting device for a battery cover includes a mounting platform, a cylindrical body, an electromagnetic coil, a limiting cylinder, an internal hexagonal limiting ring, a rotating mechanism, and a driving mechanism. The mounting platform has internal hexagonal limiting rings symmetrically fixed to its top for limiting the position of a nut.

The left and right short shafts respectively connect to the left and right sides of the cylinder. The top center is fixedly connected, and the upper part of the short shaft on the left and right sides is connected to the upper part of the long shaft with a V-belt assembly. The V-belt assembly consists of three pulleys and a flat belt. Two pulleys are fixedly mounted on the upper part of the short shaft on the left and right sides respectively, and the other pulley is fixedly mounted on the upper part of the long shaft. The flat belt is wound between the three pulleys. The V-belt assembly is located above the U-shaped frame.

The top of the screw rod passes through the middle of the U-shaped frame, and the screw rod and the U-shaped frame are rotatably connected by a thread.

[0009] Further explanation includes a limit block, which is fixedly connected to the top of the lead screw.

[0010] Further explanation: The drive mechanism includes a mounting plate, a servo motor, a hollow shaft, a first spur gear, and a second spur gear. The second spur gear is fixedly mounted on the lower part of the lead screw along the circumferential direction. The mounting plate is fixedly connected to the front end of the horizontal plate. The servo motor is fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting plate. The output shaft end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to a hollow shaft for driving the long shaft to rotate. The inner side of the hollow shaft is an internal spline. The first spur gear for driving the second spur gear to rotate is fixedly mounted on the lower part of the outer side of the hollow shaft. The first spur gear meshes with the second spur gear.

[0011] Further explanation includes an applicator for spraying threadlocker adhesive. This applicator includes a mounting frame, a wedge, a bevel gear, a rotating shaft, a sliding plate, a first spring, a spiral plate, a feed pipe, a fixed frame, a storage tank, and a spray nozzle. A storage tank is fixedly connected to the top center of the mounting platform. A feed pipe for guiding the threadlocker adhesive is connected to the bottom center of the storage tank. The bottom end of the feed pipe is connected to a spray nozzle for spraying the threadlocker adhesive onto the electrode posts. The top two ends of the spray nozzle face left and right hexagonal limiting rings, respectively. A fixed frame is fixedly connected to the top rear center of the mounting platform. A rotating shaft rotatably passes between the front and rear sides of the lower part of the fixed frame. The front end of the rotating shaft rotatably passes through the upper part of the feed pipe. It is an external spline. A spiral plate for moving and conveying the threaded adhesive is fixedly connected to the front of the shaft along the circumference. The spiral plate is located inside the conveying pipe. A sliding plate is slidably mounted on the front side of the shaft. The sliding plate is also rotatably connected to the shaft. A first spring is connected between the middle of the rear side of the sliding plate and the front side of the conveying pipe. The first spring is sleeved on the shaft. There are two bevel gears. One bevel gear is fixedly mounted on the lower part of the lead screw. The other bevel gear is slidably mounted on the front side of the shaft. The upper bevel gear is rotatably connected to the front side of the sliding plate. The two bevel gears mesh with each other. A mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the middle of the front side of the U-shaped frame. Both ends of the lower part of the mounting bracket are fixedly connected to inclined blocks for moving the sliding plate forward.

[0012] Further explanation includes a material unloading mechanism for moving the battery cover upwards a certain distance. The material unloading mechanism includes hollow rods, magnetic plates, U-shaped plates, second springs, and guide posts. Guide posts for moving the battery cover with the electrode posts installed upwards are symmetrically slidably connected to the left and right sides of the top of the mounting platform. U-shaped plates are fixedly connected between the bottom ends of the four guide posts. Two second springs are connected between the top left and right sides of the U-shaped plates and the top left and right sides of the mounting platform, respectively. The four second springs are respectively fitted onto the four guide posts. Magnetic plates are slidably fitted onto the lower part of the guide rods on both sides. The rear sides of the magnetic plates on both sides are fixedly connected to the outer front side of the U-shaped plates. Hollow rods are symmetrically fixed to the left and right sides of the bottom front side of the U-shaped frame. The hollow rods on both sides are respectively fitted onto the guide rods on both sides. The hollow rods move downwards and contact the magnetic plates.

[0013] Further explanation includes a leak-proof mechanism to prevent the thread sealant from overflowing. The leak-proof mechanism includes a mounting base and a rubber gasket. The mounting base is fixed to the lower part of the outer front side of the fixing frame, and a rubber gasket for improving sealing is fixed to the front side of the mounting base. The rubber gasket passes through the upper rear side of the feed pipe and is sleeved on the rotating shaft.

[0014] Further explanation includes a buffer mechanism for protecting the battery panel. The buffer mechanism includes a mounting ring and a rubber block. The mounting ring is fixed to the upper part of the guide post, and a rubber block for protecting the battery cover is fixed to the top of the mounting ring. The rubber block is fitted onto the guide post.

[0015] The significant advancement of this invention lies in:

[0016] 1. Place the two nuts into the two internal hexagonal retaining rings respectively, and then place the two electrode posts into the two electromagnetic coils to be attracted and fixed. Start the drive mechanism to drive the rotating mechanism to move downward. The rotating mechanism drives the two electromagnetic coils to move downward through the two cylinders. The two electromagnetic coils drive the two electrode posts to move downward and contact the threads of the battery cover. At this time, the drive mechanism also drives the rotating mechanism to rotate, so that the two electrode posts are rotated and installed on the battery cover. In this way, there is no need for manual installation of the electrode posts, which is more convenient.

[0017] 2. Under the action of the gluing mechanism, whenever the electrode post moves downward and contacts the nut, the gluing mechanism sprays thread-locking adhesive onto the threads of the electrode post. In this way, there is no need for the operator to manually apply thread-locking adhesive to the threads of the electrode post, which is convenient and quick.

[0018] 3. Under the action of the unloading mechanism, whenever the two electromagnetic coils move upward to reset and disengage from the electrode post, the unloading mechanism drives the battery cover to move upward a certain distance, and the operator can remove the battery cover. This makes it easier for the operator to remove the battery cover with the electrode post installed from the installation platform. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, and embodiments of the present invention will be given with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] An automatic electrode mounting device for a battery cover includes a mounting platform 1, a cylindrical body 2, an electromagnetic coil 21, a limiting cylinder 3, an internal hexagonal limiting ring 31, a rotating mechanism 4, and a driving mechanism 5. (See also...) Figures 1-3 As shown, the top of the installation platform 1 is symmetrically fixed with hexagonal internal limit rings 31. The operator can put the nut into the hexagonal internal limit rings 31. The bottom of the hexagonal internal limit rings 31 is connected to the limit cylinder 3 by welding. The installation platform 1 is equipped with a rotating mechanism 4. Two cylinders 2 are connected to the rotating mechanism 4. Electromagnetic coils 21 are fixed to the bottom of the two cylinders 2. When the electrode post is placed in the electromagnetic coil 21, the electromagnetic coil 21 can attract and fix the electrode post. The rotating mechanism 4 is equipped with a drive mechanism 5, which is used to provide power.

[0031] The rotating mechanism 4 includes a horizontal plate 41, a guide rod 42, a lead screw 43, a U-shaped frame 44, a short shaft 45, a V-belt assembly 46, and a long shaft 47. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a horizontal plate 41 is bolted to the lower front side of the mounting platform 1. Guide rods 42 are symmetrically fixed and threaded onto the horizontal plate 41. A U-shaped frame 44 is slidably fitted between the guide rods 42 on both sides. A long shaft 47 is rotatably threaded through the middle of the front side of the U-shaped frame 44. The lower part of the long shaft 47 has an external spline. The long shaft 47 moves downwards to contact the drive mechanism 5. Short shafts 45 are rotatably threaded through the rear left and right sides of the U-shaped frame 44. The short shafts 45 on both sides are welded to the middle of the top of the left and right cylinders 2 respectively. When the short shafts 45 rotate, they can drive the cylinders 2 to rotate. A V-belt assembly 46 is connected between the upper part of the short shaft 45 on both sides and the upper part of the long shaft 47. The V-belt assembly 46 consists of three pulleys and a flat belt. Two pulleys are fixedly mounted on the upper part of the left and right short shafts 45 respectively, and the other pulley is fixedly mounted on the upper part of the long shaft 47. The flat belt is wound between the three pulleys. The V-belt assembly 46 is located above the U-shaped frame 44. A lead screw 43 is rotatably connected to the top center of the cross plate 41. The top of the lead screw 43 passes through the middle of the U-shaped frame 44. The lead screw 43 and the U-shaped frame 44 are connected by a threaded rotation. When the lead screw 43 rotates, it can drive the U-shaped frame 44 to move.

[0032] Also includes finite bit block 48, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, a limiting block 48 is fixedly connected to the top of the lead screw 43.

[0033] The drive mechanism 5 includes a mounting plate 51, a servo motor 52, a hollow shaft 53, a first spur gear 54, and a second spur gear 55. (See attached image.) Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a second spur gear 55 is fixedly mounted on the lower part of the lead screw 43 along the circumferential direction. A mounting plate 51 is installed on the front end of the horizontal plate 41 by welding. A servo motor 52 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting plate 51. A hollow shaft 53 is fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the servo motor 52. The inner side of the hollow shaft 53 is an internal spline. When the long shaft 47 is inserted into the hollow shaft 53, the hollow shaft 53 can drive the long shaft 47 to rotate. A first spur gear 54 is fixedly mounted on the lower part of the outer side of the hollow shaft 53. The first spur gear 54 meshes with the second spur gear 55. When the first spur gear 54 rotates, the first spur gear 54 can drive the second spur gear 55 to rotate.

[0034] First, the operator places two nuts into the internal hexagonal retaining ring 31. The nuts contact the retaining cylinder 3, and the internal hexagonal retaining ring 31 limits the nuts. Then, the battery cover is placed into the mounting platform 1. The two electromagnetic coils 21 are activated, and the two threaded electrode posts are placed into the two electromagnetic coils 21 respectively. The two electromagnetic coils 21 respectively attract and fix the two electrode posts. Then, the drive mechanism 5 is activated. The drive mechanism 5 rotates, causing the rotating mechanism 4 to move downward. The rotating mechanism 4 moves downward, causing the two cylinders 2 to move downward. The two cylinders 2 move downward, causing the two electromagnetic coils 21 to move downward. The two electromagnetic coils 21 move downward, causing the two electrode posts to move downward. When the two electrode posts move downward and contact the threads of the battery cover, the rotating mechanism 4 and the drive mechanism 5 cooperate. The drive mechanism 5 drives the rotating mechanism 4 to rotate. The rotating mechanism 4 rotates, causing the two cylinders 2 to rotate. The two cylinders 2 rotate, causing the electromagnetic coils 21 to rotate. The two electromagnetic coils 21 rotate, causing the two electrode posts to move downward. The electrode posts rotate, and the two electrode posts move downwards through the threads for installation. As they continue to move downwards, they contact the nut, and the nut secures the electrode posts to the battery cover. The drive mechanism 5 is then closed, stopping the rotation of the rotating mechanism 4. The rotating mechanism 4, in turn, drives the two electromagnetic coils 21 through the two cylinders 2. The electromagnetic coils 21 then stop driving the two electrode posts. The electromagnetic coils 21 are then closed, stopping their hold on the two electrode posts. The drive mechanism 5 can then be activated to move the rotating mechanism 4 upwards to reset. This upward movement of the rotating mechanism 4 moves the two cylinders 2 upwards to reset, which in turn moves the two electromagnetic coils 21 upwards. The drive mechanism 5 is then closed. The battery cover with the electrode posts installed is then removed from the mounting platform 1, and thread-locking adhesive is applied to the threads of the electrode posts. This process is repeated to continuously install the electrode posts onto the battery cover.

[0035] When the two electrode posts are held in place by the two electromagnetic coils 21, the drive mechanism 5 is activated. The drive mechanism 5 operates, causing the lead screw 43 to reverse. The reverse rotation of the lead screw 43 drives the U-shaped frame 44 downward through the thread. The downward movement of the U-shaped frame 44 drives the long shaft 47 and the two short shafts 45 downward. The downward movement of the two short shafts 45 drives the two cylinders 2 downward. The downward movement of the two cylinders 2 drives the two electromagnetic coils 21 downward. The downward movement of the two electromagnetic coils 21 drives the two electrode posts downward. The two electrode posts move downward and contact the threads on the battery cover. At this time, the bottom end of the long shaft 47 is inserted into the drive mechanism 5. The rotation drives the long shaft 47 to rotate clockwise, which in turn drives the V-belt assembly 46 to rotate clockwise. The V-belt assembly 46 then drives the two short shafts 45 to rotate clockwise, which in turn drives the two cylindrical bodies 2 to rotate clockwise. The two cylindrical bodies 2 then drive the two electromagnetic coils 21 to rotate clockwise, which in turn drives the two electrode posts to rotate clockwise. These electrode posts move downwards via a threaded connection and are mounted on the battery cover. Simultaneously, the two electrode posts move downwards and contact the nut. When the electrode posts reach the appropriate position, the nut secures them to the battery cover, and the drive mechanism 5 is closed, stopping the reverse rotation of the lead screw 43. When the screw 43 rotates, it reverses and stops, causing the U-shaped frame 44 to move downwards. The U-shaped frame 44 then stops driving the long shaft 47 and the two short shafts 45 downwards. The two short shafts 45 stop driving the two electromagnetic coils 21 downwards via the two cylinders 2. The two electromagnetic coils 21 then stop driving the two electrode posts downwards. Simultaneously, the drive mechanism 5 also stops driving the long shaft 47 to rotate forward. The long shaft 47 then stops driving the two short shafts 45 to rotate forward via the V-belt assembly 46. The two short shafts 45 then stop driving the two cylinders 2 to rotate forward. The two cylinders 2 then stop driving the two electromagnetic coils 21 to rotate forward, closing the two electromagnetic coils 21 and stopping them from holding and fixing the two electrode posts. Then, the drive mechanism 5 is restarted to drive the lead screw 43 to rotate forward. The forward rotation of the lead screw 43 drives the U-shaped frame 44 to move upward and reset through the thread. The reset of the U-shaped frame 44 drives the long shaft 47 and the two short shafts 45 to move upward and reset. The reset of the long shaft 47 disengages from the drive mechanism 5. At the same time, the two short shafts 45 drive the two electromagnetic coils 21 to move upward and reset through the two cylinders 2. The two electromagnetic coils 21 disengage from the two electrode posts. The drive mechanism 5 is then turned off, and the drive mechanism 5 stops driving the lead screw 43 to rotate forward. The lead screw 43 stops driving the U-shaped frame 44 to move upward. Due to the action of the limit block 48, the reset of the U-shaped frame 44 can be prevented from disengaging from the lead screw 43.

[0036] When the two electrode posts are held and fixed by the two electromagnetic coils 21, the servo motor 52 is started to rotate forward. The forward rotation of the servo motor 52 drives the hollow shaft 53 to rotate forward, which in turn drives the first spur gear 54 to rotate forward. The first spur gear 54 then drives the second spur gear 55 to rotate in reverse, which in turn drives the lead screw 43 to rotate in reverse. This causes the two electromagnetic coils 21 to move the two electrode posts downward. When the long shaft 47 moves downward and inserts into the hollow shaft 53, the forward rotation of the hollow shaft 53 drives the long shaft 47 to rotate forward. The forward rotation of the long shaft 47 drives the two short shafts 45 to rotate forward through the V-belt assembly 46. This causes the two electrode posts to rotate forward and move downward through the threads to be installed on the battery cover. When the nut fixes the electrode posts on the battery cover, the servo motor 52 is turned off. The servo motor 52 stops driving the hollow shaft 53 to rotate forward, and the hollow shaft 53 stops driving the long shaft 47 to rotate forward. The two electromagnetic coils 21 also stop driving the two electrode posts to rotate forward. At the same time, the hollow shaft 53 also stops driving the lead screw 43 to rotate in reverse. When the first column gear 54 rotates forward, it stops driving the second column gear 55 to rotate in reverse. The second column gear 55 then stops driving the lead screw 43 to rotate in reverse. The two electromagnetic coils 21 stop driving the electrode posts downwards, which then activates the servo motor 52 to rotate in reverse. The servo motor 52's rotation in reverse drives the hollow shaft 53 to rotate in reverse, which in turn drives the first column gear 54 to rotate in reverse. The first column gear 54's rotation in reverse drives the second column gear 55 to rotate forward, which in turn drives the lead screw 43 to rotate in the forward direction. This causes the two electromagnetic coils 21 to move upwards and reset, disengaging from the two electrode posts. Simultaneously, the long shaft 47 moves upwards and resets, disengaging from the hollow shaft 53. This shuts off the servo motor 52, which stops driving the hollow shaft 53 to rotate in reverse. The hollow shaft 53 then stops driving the first column gear 54 to rotate in reverse, which in turn stops driving the second column gear 55 to rotate in the forward direction. The second column gear 55 then stops driving the lead screw 43 to rotate in the forward direction, and the two electromagnetic coils 21 stop moving upwards.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] Based on Embodiment 1, it also includes a gluing mechanism 6, which includes a mounting bracket 61, a wedge block 62, a bevel gear 63, a rotating shaft 64, a sliding plate 65, a first spring 66, a spiral plate 67, a conveying pipe 68, a fixing bracket 69, a storage tank 610, and a spray pipe 611. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a storage tank 610 is bolted to the top center of the installation platform 1. A conveying pipe 68 is connected to the bottom center of the storage tank 610, which guides the thread-locking adhesive. A spray pipe 611 is connected to the bottom end of the conveying pipe 68. The top two ends of the spray pipe 611 face the left and right hexagonal limiting rings 31 respectively. When the thread-locking adhesive is discharged into the spray pipe 611, the spray pipe 611 can spray the thread-locking adhesive onto the electrode post. A fixing frame 69 is bolted to the top rear center of the installation platform 1. A rotating shaft 64 is rotatably connected between the front and rear sides of the lower part of the fixing frame 69. The front end of the rotating shaft 64 rotatably passes through the upper part of the conveying pipe 68. The front part of the rotating shaft 64 is an external spline. A spiral plate 67 is installed circumferentially on the front part of the rotating shaft 64 by welding. The spiral plate 67 is located inside the conveying pipe 68. When the spiral plate 67... When rotating, the spiral plate 67 can drive the threaded adhesive to move for conveying. A sliding plate 65 is slidably mounted on the front side of the rotating shaft 64. The sliding plate 65 is also rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 64. A first spring 66 is connected between the middle of the rear side of the sliding plate 65 and the outer front side of the conveying pipe 68. The first spring 66 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 64. There are two bevel gears 63. One bevel gear 63 is fixedly mounted on the lower part of the lead screw 43, and the other bevel gear 63 is slidably mounted on the front side of the rotating shaft 64. The upper bevel gear 63 is rotatably connected to the front side of the sliding plate 65. The two bevel gears 63 mesh with each other. An installation frame 61 is installed in the middle of the inner front side of the U-shaped frame 44 by welding. Both ends of the lower part of the installation frame 61 are fixed with inclined blocks 62. When the inclined blocks 62 move downward and contact the sliding plate 65, the inclined blocks 62 can drive the sliding plate 65 to move forward.

[0039] It also includes an unloading mechanism 7, which comprises a hollow rod 71, a magnetic suction plate 73, a U-shaped plate 74, a second spring 75, and a guide post 76. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, guide posts 76 are symmetrically slidably connected to the top left and right sides of the mounting platform 1. When the guide posts 76 move upward, they can drive the battery cover with the electrode posts installed to move upward. A U-shaped plate 74 is installed between the bottom ends of the four guide posts 76 by welding. Two second springs 75 are connected between the top left and right sides of the U-shaped plate 74 and the top left and right sides of the mounting platform 1, respectively. The four second springs 75 are respectively fitted onto the four guide posts 76. Magnetic suction plates 73 are slidably fitted onto the lower part of the guide rods 42 on both sides. The rear side of the magnetic suction plates 73 on both sides is fixedly connected to the outer front side of the U-shaped plate 74. Hollow rods 71 ​​are symmetrically fixed to the left and right sides of the bottom front side of the U-shaped frame 44. The hollow rods 71 ​​on both sides are respectively fitted onto the guide rods 42 on both sides. The hollow rods 71 ​​move downward and contact the magnetic suction plates 73.

[0040] First, the operator pours an appropriate amount of threadlocker into the storage tank 610. The threadlocker in the storage tank 610 falls into the conveying pipe 68, where it contacts the spiral plate 67. When the servo motor 52 starts, the lead screw 43 reverses, which also drives the lower bevel gear 63 to reverse. The U-shaped frame 44 moves downward, which in turn drives the mounting frame 61 to move downward. The downward movement of the mounting frame 61 drives the two inclined blocks 62 to move downward. When the two inclined blocks 62 move downward and contact the sliding plate 65, the inclined blocks 62 drive the sliding plate 65 to move forward, and the first spring 66 is stretched. The sliding plate 65 moves forward, causing the upper bevel gear 63 to move forward. The upper bevel gear 63 moves forward and contacts the external spline on the front side of the rotating shaft 64. The upper bevel gear 63 moves forward and meshes with the lower bevel gear 63. The lower bevel gear 63 reverses, causing the upper bevel gear 63 to rotate forward. The upper bevel gear 63 rotates forward, causing the rotating shaft 64 to rotate forward. The rotating shaft 64 rotates forward, causing the spiral plate 67 to rotate forward. The spiral plate 67 rotates forward, causing the thread-locking adhesive to move backward. The thread-locking adhesive moves backward and is discharged into the spray nozzle 611 through the feed pipe 68. The thread-locking adhesive in the spray nozzle 611 is sprayed out. At the threaded joints of the two electrode posts, the nuts secure the electrode posts to the battery cover. With the servo motor 52 off, the lead screw 43 stops driving the lower bevel gear 63 in reverse rotation, and the lower bevel gear 63 stops driving the upper bevel gear 63 in forward rotation. The upper bevel gear 63 stops driving the spiral plate 67 in forward rotation via the shaft 64, and the spiral plate 67 stops moving the thread-locking adhesive backward. The nozzle 611 also stops spraying the thread-locking adhesive. The servo motor 52 can then be restarted in reverse rotation, causing the lead screw 43 to rotate in forward rotation, driving the lower bevel gear 63 in forward rotation. Forward rotation drives the upper bevel gear 63 to reverse, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 64 to reverse, and the rotating shaft 64 in reverse drives the spiral plate 67 to reverse. Simultaneously, the U-shaped frame 44 moves upward and resets, causing the mounting frame 61 to move upward and reset. The reset of the mounting frame 61 causes the two inclined blocks 62 to move upward and reset, disengaging from the sliding plate 65. Due to the action of the first spring 66, the sliding plate 65 moves backward and resets, causing the upper bevel gear 63 to move backward and reset, disengaging from the lower bevel gear 63. This eliminates the need for manual application of thread-locking adhesive to the threads of the electrode post, making the process convenient and quick.

[0041] When the servo motor 52 starts rotating forward, the U-shaped frame 44 moves downward, also causing the two hollow rods 71 ​​to move downward. When the two hollow rods 71 ​​move downward and contact the magnetic plates 73, it indicates that the electrode posts are installed on the battery cover, and the nuts fix the electrode posts to the battery cover. The magnetic plates 73 hold the hollow rods 71 ​​in place by magnetic force. Then, when the servo motor 52 starts rotating in reverse, the U-shaped frame 44 moves upward and resets, causing the two hollow rods 71 ​​to move upward. The upward movement of the two hollow rods 71 ​​causes the two magnetic plates 73 to move upward, and the upward movement of the two magnetic plates 73 causes the U-shaped frame 44 to move upward. As plate 74 moves upward, the four second springs 75 are compressed. The upward movement of U-shaped plate 74 causes the four guide posts 76 to move upward, contacting the battery cover. The four guide posts 76 then move the battery cover upward a certain distance, allowing the operator to remove it. The two hollow rods 71 ​​move upward to their reset position, disengaging from the two magnetic plates 73. Due to the action of the four second springs 75, U-shaped plate 74 moves downward to its reset position, causing the four guide posts 76 to move downward to their reset position. U-shaped plate 74 also causes the two magnetic plates 73 to move downward to their reset position. This makes it easier for the operator to remove the battery cover with the electrode posts installed from the mounting platform 1.

[0042] Example 3

[0043] Based on Embodiments 1 and 2, a leak-proof mechanism 8 is also included. The leak-proof mechanism 8 includes a mounting base 81 and a rubber gasket 82. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, a mounting base 81 is installed on the lower part of the outer front side of the fixed frame 69 by welding. A rubber gasket 82 is fixed to the front side of the mounting base 81. The rubber gasket 82 passes through the upper rear side of the conveying pipe 68 and is sleeved on the rotating shaft 64. The rubber gasket 82 can improve the sealing performance.

[0044] It also includes a buffer mechanism 9, which includes a mounting ring 91 and a rubber block 92. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, an installation ring 91 is installed on the upper part of the guide post 76 by means of bolt connection. A rubber block 92 is fixed to the top of the installation ring 91. The rubber block 92 is sleeved on the guide post 76. When the rubber block 92 contacts the battery cover, the rubber block 92 can protect the battery cover.

[0045] When the rotating shaft 64 drives the spiral plate 67 to rotate clockwise, the spiral plate 67 moves the thread-locking adhesive backward for conveying. The rubber gasket 82 blocks the gap between the conveying pipe 68 and the rotating shaft 64. In this way, the thread-locking adhesive is prevented from being discharged through the gap between the conveying pipe 68 and the rotating shaft 64, thus avoiding waste.

[0046] When the four guide posts 76 move upward, they cause the four rubber blocks 92 to move upward as well. When the rubber blocks 92 come into contact with the battery cover, their softness protects the cover. The guide posts 76, through the rubber blocks 92, move the battery cover upward. When the four guide posts 76 move downward to reset, they cause the rubber blocks 92 to move downward as well. This prevents wear on the battery cover.

[0047] Finally, it is necessary to note that the above content is only used to help understand the technical solution of the present invention and should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention; any non-essential improvements and adjustments made by those skilled in the art based on the above content of the present invention are all within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
