[0026] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] A sorting and organizing mechanism for cylindrical batteries, such as Figures 1-11 As shown, the system includes a sorting mechanism 1, a turning mechanism 2, and a flipping mechanism 3. The sorting mechanism 1 sorts the randomly arranged batteries and transports them to the turning mechanism 2. The turning mechanism 2 adjusts the sorted cylindrical batteries in the sorting mechanism 1 to a uniform orientation, preparing them for the next process. Specifically, after the previous process, the cylindrical batteries leave the sorting mechanism 1 vertically and enter the turning mechanism 2 vertically. The turning mechanism 2 turns the cylindrical batteries from vertical to horizontal before they leave the turning mechanism 2. The exit end of the sorting mechanism 1 connects to the inlet end of the turning mechanism 2. The exit end of the turning mechanism 2 is equipped with a flipping mechanism 3, and the inlet end of the flipping mechanism 3 connects to the exit end of the turning mechanism 2. After the turning, the cylindrical batteries enter the flipping mechanism 3. The flipping mechanism 3 includes an inlet working plate device 4 and a flipping plate device 5, which are driven synchronously by a first drive mechanism. The synchronous rotation aims to maintain a certain rotational relationship and power the inlet working plate device 4. The battery cells are precisely aligned and enter the flipping mechanism 3, avoiding the misalignment of the docking positions between the inlet working plate device 4 and the flipping plate device 5 caused by asynchronous rotation. This avoids the need to stop the machine for readjustment, reducing production efficiency and labor costs. Synchronous rotation improves the working efficiency of the flipping mechanism 3. The outlet end of the steering mechanism 2 docks with the inlet working plate device 4. After being turned by the steering mechanism 2, the cylindrical batteries enter the inlet working plate device 4. Directly above the flipping plate device 5 is a fan-shaped flipping working area 6. The cylindrical batteries are flipped in the flipping working area 6 so that all batteries face the same direction. The inlet working plate device 4 docks with the flipping mechanism 3 below the flipping working area 6. Specifically, the inlet working plate device 4 docks with one side of the starting end of the flipping working area 6. The starting end of the flipping working area 6 can be understood as the position where the cylindrical batteries enter the flipping working area 6. The cylindrical batteries flip and face the same direction in the flipping working area 6 before entering the next process.

[0028] The sorting mechanism 1 includes a rotating disk device 11, a rotating trough device 12, and a rotating trough enclosure 13. The rotating disk device 11 is inclined downwards around its center, which can be understood as resembling an open umbrella. The rotating trough device 12 has a cylindrical trough, and the upper end of the trough wall of the rotating trough device 12 is the rotating trough battery station 121. The rotating disk device 11 is inclined within the rotating trough device 12. The rotating disk device 11 and the rotating trough device 12 are set around the same center, which can be understood as rotating around the same center. The rotating disk device 11 and the rotating trough device 12 rotate at different speeds. The height of the upper surface of the higher side of the rotating disk device 11 after its inclination is the same as that of the rotating trough battery. The height of station 121 is the same as or slightly higher than that of the rotating disk device 11. This can be understood as the upper surface of one side of the rotating disk device 11 after tilting being slightly higher than the height of the rotating battery station 121. The purpose is to create a height difference when the cylindrical batteries enter the rotating battery station 121 from the rotating disk device 11, preventing the cylindrical batteries from being scratched at the gap between the rotating disk device 11 and the rotating trough device during the transition. A slight increase can be understood as the upper surface of the higher side of the rotating disk device 11 after tilting being 0-2mm higher than the height of the rotating battery station 121. The rotating trough enclosure 13 is located around the perimeter of the rotating battery station 121 to protect the cylindrical batteries located on the rotating battery station 121 from falling. The inlet end of the steering mechanism 2 is located on the rotating trough device... The batteries, arranged 12 circumferentially upwards, connect with the rotating tank battery station 121 and the rotating tank device 12. This can be understood as the batteries at the rotating tank battery station 121 entering the inlet of the steering mechanism 2. The sorting mechanism 1 operates by having the cylindrical batteries enter the upper surface of the rotating disk device 11. As the rotating disk device 11 rotates, the centrifugal force disperses the cylindrical batteries outwards around it. When both ends of the cylindrical batteries align with the rotation direction of the rotating disk device 11, the cylindrical batteries enter the rotating tank battery station 121 at the upper end of the rotating tank device 12's tank wall as the rotating disk device 11 continues to rotate. At this point, the cylindrical batteries continue to rotate with the rotating tank device 12. When the cylindrical batteries reach the connection point between the rotating tank device 12 and the inlet of the steering mechanism 2... The cylindrical battery will enter the steering mechanism 2. If the cylindrical battery is tilted and cannot enter the steering mechanism 2, it will be pushed off by the following cylindrical battery and fall onto the rotating disk device 11. At this time, the rotation continues and the above work process is repeated. The feeding point of the rotating disk device 11 is set on the lower side after the rotating disk device 11 is tilted. At this time, the battery can directly enter the rotating disk device 11 from the outside to rotate, improving work efficiency. The docking point between the inlet end of the steering mechanism 2 and the rotating slot device 12 is set on the slot wall of the rotating slot device 12 corresponding to the high-to-low transition point of the rotating disk device 11. The purpose of setting it in this position is to allow the cylindrical battery to enter the rotating slot battery station 121 after being correctly positioned. After rotating a certain distance on the rotating slot battery station 121, it can enter the steering mechanism 2.

[0029] The turning mechanism 2 comprises a dial device 21, a pressing strip 22, a running fence 23, a discharge fence 24, and a discharge track device 25. The pressing strip 22, the running fence 23, the discharge fence 24, and the discharge track device 25 are arranged on the circumferential periphery of the dial device 21. The dial device 21 is the core component of the turning mechanism 2. The front end of the running fence 23 is arranged at the rear side of the dial device 21 in the rotating direction at the inlet of the dial device 21. The rear end of the running fence 23 is arranged at the front side of the dial device 21 in the rotating direction at the outlet of the dial device 21. When the cylindrical battery enters the dial device 21 from the inlet of the dial device 21, the running fence 23 will surround the cylindrical battery to prevent the cylindrical battery from falling. The discharge fence 24 is arranged at the rear side of the dial device 21 in the rotating direction at the outlet of the dial device 21. It can be understood that the cylindrical battery vertically enters the turning mechanism 2 and horizontally exits the turning mechanism 2 in the rear rotating direction of the turning mechanism 2. The outlet of the dial device 21 has a width consistent with the length of the battery. The pressing strip 22 is arranged between the dial device 21 and the running fence 23, and the height of the pressing strip 22 is higher than the height of the battery in the dial device 21. The pressing strip 22, the running fence 23, and the dial device 21 form a turning channel. The cylindrical battery runs in the turning channel. The function of the pressing strip 22 is to prevent the battery in the dial device 21 from being thrown out when the external cylindrical battery enters the dial device 21 at a high speed and is thrown out upward after hitting the dial device 21. The discharge track device 25 is arranged at the outlet of the dial device 21 and is connected to the inlet of the discharge track device 25. The outlet of the discharge track device 25 is connected to the inlet of the inlet work disc device 4. The battery after turning enters the discharge track device 25, is arranged in order in the discharge track device 25, and then enters the inlet work disc device 4.

[0030] The discharge track device 25 comprises a battery track 251 and a pressing plate 252. The front end of the battery track 251 is connected to the outlet of the dial device 21, and the rear end of the battery track 251 is connected to the inlet of the inlet work disc device 4. The pressing plate 252 is arranged above the battery track 251. The battery track 251 and the pressing plate 252 form a battery channel. The function of the pressing plate 252 is to keep the cylindrical battery in the battery channel in a full load state to prevent the cylindrical battery from tilting and being stuck in the battery track 251, which may cause the machine to stop.

[0031] The inlet work disc device 4 comprises an inlet disc 41 and an inlet disc fence device 42. The rotating direction of the inlet disc 41 is opposite to the rotating direction of the outlet work disc device 3. The inlet disc fence device 42 is arranged on the circumferential periphery of the inlet disc 41. Figure 10As shown, the import disc 41 is provided with a plurality of import disc battery stations 411 in the circumferential direction, the import disc 41 is driven to rotate by the first driving mechanism, the import disc 41 is docked with the turnover disc device 5 through any import disc battery station 411, the outlet end of the turning mechanism 2 is docked with the import disc 41 through any import disc battery station 411 above the import disc 41, the outlet end of the turning mechanism 2 is arranged above the import disc 41 to directly dock the battery from above into the import disc 41 by using the gravity of the battery, which reduces the need for other components to assist the battery to enter the import disc 41 and saves costs, the import disc fence device 42 is arranged at the circumferential periphery of the import disc 41, the front end of the import disc fence device 42 is arranged at the rear of the import disc 41 in the rotating direction, the rear end of the import disc fence device 42 is arranged at the docking position of the import disc 41 and the turnover disc device 5, the import disc fence device 42 protects the battery entering the import disc device 4 from being thrown out during rotation, the import disc fence device 42 includes an import disc movable fence, an import disc fixed fence and an import disc sensing device, the import disc movable fence is arranged at the front end of the import disc fixed fence and is rotationally connected thereto, which can be understood as that the import disc movable fence is rotationally connected around the connection position of the import disc movable fence and the import disc fixed fence, the import disc movable fence is provided with the import disc sensing device, and the specific working mode is that when a battery enters between the import disc movable fence and the import disc 41, the battery may be stuck therebetween, when a battery is stuck between the import disc movable fence and the import disc 41, the import disc movable fence is pushed to rotate outward, and when it rotates to a specified position, it touches the import disc sensing device, at this time, the sensing device will send an alarm signal and stop the work of the machine, waiting for manual processing, the arrangement of this structure saves labor costs and avoids the need for manual supervision.

[0032] The turnover disc device 5 comprises a turnover work disc 51, a turnover fence mechanism 52 and a guide protection fence 53. The turnover work disc 51 is driven to rotate by a first driving mechanism. The turnover work disc 51 is connected to the inlet work disc device 4 below the starting end of the turnover work area 6 through a battery turnover station 511. The turnover work disc 51 is connected to external equipment outside the rotating direction of the turnover work area 6. The turnover fence mechanism 52 is arranged on the periphery of the turnover work area 6. The turnover work disc 51 is circumferentially provided with a plurality of battery turnover stations 511. The turnover work disc 51 is connected to the inlet work disc device 4 below the starting end of the turnover work area 6 through any battery turnover station 511. The guide protection fence 53 is arranged on the circumferential periphery of the turnover work disc 51. The front end of the guide protection fence 53 is arranged at the connection position of the turnover work disc 51 and the inlet work disc device 4. The rear end of the guide protection fence 53 is arranged at the front end of the turnover fence mechanism 52. The guide protection fence 53 functions to protect the battery entering the turnover work disc 51 from the inlet work disc device 4 from being thrown out during rotation.

[0033] The turnover fence mechanism 52 comprises a plurality of guide rod devices 521, a turnover wire 522, a front turnover protective fence 523, and a rear turnover protective fence 524. The guide rod devices 521 are arranged on the turnover disc device 5. The working end of one guide rod device 521 is connected to one battery turnover station 511. The guide rod device 521 rotates with the turnover working disc 51. The working end of one guide rod device 521 moves back and forth to align with one battery turnover station 511. The front turnover protective fence 523 and the rear turnover protective fence 524 are arranged on the circumferential periphery of the turnover working disc 51. The front turnover protective fence 523 is arranged on one side of the starting end of the turnover working area 6. The front turnover protective fence 523 is connected to the rear end of the guide protective fence 53. When the cylindrical battery is running on the turnover working disc 51, the front turnover protective fence 523 and the guide protective fence 53 protect the cylindrical battery from falling out. The rear turnover protective fence 524 is arranged on one side of the end of the turnover working area 6. The front turnover protective fence 523 and the rear turnover protective fence 524 form a turnover channel 525. The turnover channel 525 is used to transition the cylindrical battery from the guide rod device 521 on one side of the turnover working disc 51 to the same side of the guide rod device 521. It can be understood that if the guide rod device 521 is installed on the inner side of the turnover working disc 51, the guide rod device 521 will push the cylindrical battery outward. Then the entrance of the turnover channel 525 is located on the outer side of the turnover working disc 51. If the guide rod device 521 is installed on the outer side of the turnover working disc 51, the guide rod device 521 will push the cylindrical battery inward. Then the entrance of the turnover channel 525 is located on the inner side of the turnover working disc 51. The turnover wire 522 is arranged on the rear turnover protective fence 524 at the entrance of the turnover channel 525. The front end of the turnover wire 522 is arranged at the starting end of the turnover working area 6. The turnover wire 522 is arranged from low to high from the front end to the rear end. It can be understood that when the cylindrical battery contacts the front end of the turnover wire 522, the cylindrical battery will be guided to stand up along with the turnover wire 522 as the turnover working disc 51 rotates.

[0034] The specific working mode of the turnover disc device 5 is that when the cylindrical battery enters the battery turnover station 511 on the turnover working disc 51, with the rotation of the turnover working disc 51, the cylindrical battery enters the turnover working area 6. At this time, the guide rod device 521 will push forward to the battery turnover station 511. If it touches the positive electrode end of the battery (the positive electrode end of the battery is an unsealed circular hole), the guide rod device 521 will be inserted into the cylindrical battery and then pulled out, which will not affect the operation of the cylindrical battery. When the guide rod device 521 touches the negative electrode of the cylindrical battery, the guide rod device 521 will not be able to insert into the cylindrical battery (the negative electrode of the battery has been sealed), at this time, the guide rod device 521 will push the cylindrical battery outward for a short distance, and the cylindrical battery pushed out at this time will touch the front end of the turnover steel wire 522. The positive electrode of the cylindrical battery will be lifted up by the upward guidance of the turnover steel wire 522, so that the cylindrical battery slowly turns to the vertical state. With the rotation of the turnover working disc 51, the cylindrical battery will enter the entrance of the turnover channel 525, and then the turnover of the cylindrical battery will be completed in the turnover channel 525. The cylindrical battery passing through the turnover working area 6 will have the positive and negative electrodes facing each other. The advantage of this turnover disc device 5 is to meet the turnover requirement of the high-speed rotating turnover working disc 51 for the cylindrical battery, which improves the production capacity and working efficiency. The battery turnover station 511 is composed of a battery operation station 5111 and a turnover auxiliary block 5112. On the turnover working disc 51, the turnover auxiliary block 5112 is located inside the battery operation station 5111. A semicircular groove 5113 is arranged on the middle of the outer side surface of the turnover auxiliary block 5112. Specifically, a semicircular groove 5113 is arranged on the side surface of the turnover auxiliary block 5112 in contact with the battery operation station 5111. The semicircular groove 5113 and the battery operation station 5111 form the battery turnover station 511. The working mode of this mechanism is that when the battery slowly turns over on the battery turnover station 511 until it stands up, it will fall into the semicircular groove 5113, preventing the battery from exposing too much and falling off the battery turnover station 511.

[0035] The sorting mechanism 1 is provided with a feeding mechanism 7. The outlet end of the feeding mechanism 7 is arranged above the feeding position of the sorting mechanism 1. The feeding mechanism 7 provides cylindrical batteries for the sorting mechanism 1. The feeding mechanism 7 includes a vibrating hopper device 71 and a feeding lifting device 72. The outlet end of the vibrating hopper device 71 is connected to the feeding lifting device 72, that is, the cylindrical batteries on the vibrating hopper device 71 come out and enter the feeding lifting device 72. The outlet end of the feeding lifting device 72 is arranged above the feeding position of the sorting mechanism 1. The cylindrical batteries on the feeding lifting device 72 come out from above and fall into the sorting mechanism 1, specifically into the rotating disc device 11. The specific working mode is to pour the cylindrical batteries into the vibrating hopper device 71. The vibrating hopper device 71 vibrates continuously to make the cylindrical batteries slowly come out from the outlet end of the vibrating hopper and then fall onto the feeding lifting device 72. The cylindrical batteries fall into the sorting mechanism 1 through the operation of the feeding lifting device 72.
