Description

Technical Field

[0001] This patent relates to equipment for lithium-ion battery production, specifically to an automated battery marking device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of information technology, cylindrical batteries need to be marked along their axial direction during manufacturing or before leaving the factory as battery identification, facilitating product traceability and indicating various battery data. However, in some processes of battery manufacturing, cylindrical batteries are usually transported side-by-side along a direction perpendicular to their axial direction on an automated conveyor line. This makes it inconvenient for the inkjet printer to mark each battery along its axial direction individually, as the batteries are prone to rotation during transport, leading to misalignment or unqualified marking. Therefore, it is necessary to change the direction of the batteries so that they are transported parallel to their axial direction before the inkjet printer marks them. Manual methods are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient, while using automated robotic arms to grasp and change the direction presents problems of structural complexity and poor continuity, and may also damage the battery casing during grasping. Therefore, how to achieve continuous automated reversal of batteries to ensure marking quality has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. To address this, this patent proposes an automated battery marking device. Summary of the Invention
