Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of production equipment technology, and more specifically to an alkaline manganese battery production equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The basic production process of alkaline manganese batteries includes manganese ring forming, manganese ring insertion, repressing, grooving, gluing, inserting separator tubes, injecting electrolyte, injecting zinc paste, inserting sealing bodies, and edge rolling and shaping. After the manganese ring is formed and inserted into the battery steel shell, and after repressing, grooving, and gluing, the steel shell is placed in a tray to insert separator paper, which serves as a container for the subsequent electrolyte and zinc paste. The separator paper is wound around a mold and a mandrel, and then heated to a high temperature. A cam drives the mandrel to move up and down, inserting the separator paper into the steel shell and making contact with the manganese ring. The mandrel is then pulled out, leaving the separator paper inside the steel shell. This process is called separator paper insertion, which is a crucial step in ensuring battery quality. Currently, separator paper insertion equipment usually uses a single insertion method. Due to factors such as mold wear, heating temperature, and winding tightness, the winding height of the separator paper can vary. The contact gap and insertion depth between the separator paper and the manganese ring can also vary due to factors such as the moisture content and particle size of the manganese powder and the pressure conditions. At high speeds (especially exceeding 600 cells / minute), there may be cases where the separator paper is not inserted to the bottom or is too high, resulting in significant fluctuations in battery performance. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem solved by this invention is to provide a secondary insertion device for alkaline battery separator paper, which addresses the stability and effectiveness of separator paper insertion under high-speed operation. It employs flexible insertion and limiting, changing the commonly used single insertion method. According to process requirements, the insertion depth deviation from the steel shell opening is within ±0.5mm; complete contact with the bottom of the steel shell is required; and the overall speed meets 750 pieces / minute. Conventional single insertion methods are difficult to reliably achieve these process requirements. Therefore, considering the characteristics of separator paper insertion, adding secondary insertion effectively improves the process adaptability during separator paper insertion, ensuring stable operation during high-speed or ultra-high-speed production.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] An alkaline manganese battery production device includes: a transmission spindle assembly, a main body assembly, a cam assembly, a dial assembly, and a secondary insertion assembly. The transmission spindle assembly is used to transmit power to the main body assembly and the dial assembly. The cam assembly is coaxially arranged with the transmission spindle assembly. The secondary insertion assembly cooperates with the main body assembly and the cam assembly to completely press the separator paper into the bottom of the steel shell.

[0006] In some embodiments, the transmission spindle assembly includes a gear, a spindle, and a spindle sleeve. The gear is fixed on the spindle, the spindle rotates within the spindle sleeve via bearings, and the spindle sleeve is positioned by a pin. The transmission spindle assembly is the power transmission link of the entire device. Through the gear driving the spindle, it smoothly transmits motor power to the main body and dial assembly, enabling high-speed rotation of the main body, dial assembly, and secondary insertion assembly. It serves as the accuracy benchmark for the rotation and longitudinal direction of the entire device.

[0007] In some embodiments, the main body component includes: a body bushing, a spline bearing, and a body; the body bushing is fixedly linked to the main shaft via a fixing pin, and the body is fixed on the body bushing; the outer circumference of the body is divided into several holes, and several spline bearings are fixed one-to-one in the holes of the body via positioning pins. The main body component is the mounting base for the dial assembly and the secondary insertion assembly, and simultaneously drives the two assemblies to rotate clockwise along the main shaft. The outer circumference of the main body uses equally divided circular holes, requiring high consistency and precision for each hole, which serves as the precision benchmark for the entire device and ensures the concentricity and consistency of the secondary insertion of the isolation tube.

[0008] In some embodiments, the dial component includes: a dial base and a stripping wheel; the dial base connects the stripping wheel and the main body bushing through pins and screws, so that the main body component and the dial component are linked with the main shaft; the outer circumference of the stripping wheel is machined with an equal number of equally divided semicircular grooves, which are used to limit the material tray of the production line.

[0009] The dial component is a positioning element that accurately guides and pushes out the tray during the transfer of the indexing dial. The dial component mainly includes: dial wheel, dial base, etc.

[0010] In some embodiments, the cam component includes: a fixed column, a cam, and a fixed plate; the fixed plate is integrated with the fixed column and the cam, the cam is connected to the main shaft through a bearing to ensure concentricity, the fixed column is fixed on the machine base so that the cam component does not rotate with the overall equipment, a track is machined around the outside of the cam, the track includes two ramps and two straight sections, wherein the upper straight section is the waiting position for the insertion component, the lower ramp causes the insertion component to move downward to complete the insertion of the isolation paper, the lower straight section is the holding section after insertion, and the upper ramp causes the insertion component to move upward to complete the removal from the isolation paper and enter the waiting position for the next work.

[0011] The cam component is fixed relative to the machine tool. When the secondary insertion component rotates with the main body, it moves up and down in the cam track through the bearing to perform curved positioning of the secondary insertion component, limiting its highest and lowest points, so that the secondary insertion component can move up and down to complete the secondary insertion and other related actions such as repositioning.

[0012] In some embodiments, the secondary insertion assembly includes: an insertion rod, a rejection sleeve, a rejection spring, a spring limiting block, a lock nut, an insertion spring, a splined shaft, and a cam bearing; the insertion rod and the insertion spring are fixed in the splined shaft by the lock nut and limit their lowest insertion position; the spring limiting block is fixed on the insertion rod by a set screw; the rejection sleeve can slide up and down in the pin hole groove of the insertion rod by a pin and under the action of the rejection spring and external force; the cam bearing rolls in the cam track and drives the splined shaft to move up and down in the splined bearing.

[0013] The secondary insertion component is the direct component that completes the secondary insertion of the release paper. Its working principle is that during the rotation of the main body, the insertion component moves up and down relative to the main body through the spline by moving up and down in the cam through the bearing.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention compared to the prior art are:

[0015] The device provided by this invention ensures better insertion effect while maintaining higher stability and reliability, which promotes the stability of battery product quality and also guarantees the improvement of battery performance. At the same time, it can reliably remove defective products, ensuring production efficiency and preventing defective products from flowing into the downstream. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The following will combine Figure 1 This application provides a detailed description of an alkaline manganese battery production apparatus according to its embodiments. It is worth noting that the following embodiments are merely illustrative of this application and do not constitute a limitation thereof.

[0030] Example 1:

[0031] As attached Figure 1 This invention relates to the field of secondary insertion equipment for insulating paper, specifically to equipment for insulating tubes in alkaline manganese batteries. The secondary insertion equipment includes a drive shaft component 1, a main body component 2, a cam component 3, a dial component 4, and a secondary insertion assembly 5. The drive shaft component transmits power to the main body component and the dial component; the cam component is coaxially arranged with the drive shaft component; and the secondary insertion assembly cooperates with the main body component and the cam component to completely press the insulating paper into the bottom of the steel shell.

[0032] As attached Figure 2 As shown, the transmission spindle assembly is the starting point for the operation of this invention. Its key function is to transmit the power from the transmission spindle to the gear 101 via the front end, and then to the main body assembly 2 and the dial assembly 4 via the main shaft 102. The transmission spindle assembly 1 mainly includes: gear 101, main shaft 102, and main shaft sleeve 103. Gear 101 is fixed to the main shaft 102 by a tensioning sleeve. The main shaft 102 rotates within the main shaft sleeve 103 via bearings. The main shaft sleeve 103 is positioned by pins and fixed to the machine base by screws.

[0033] As attached Figure 3 Appendix Figure 5The diagram shows the positioning components directly related to the secondary insertion action of this invention: the main body component 2 and the dial component 4. The main body component includes: a body bushing 201, a spline bearing 202, and a body 203; the dial component includes: a dial base 401 and a stripping wheel 402. The body bushing 201 is fixedly linked to the main shaft 102 via a fixing pin. The body 203 is fixed to the body bushing 201 via pins and screws. The outer circumference of the body 203 is divided into 16 equal holes, which hold 16 spline bearings 202 within the body 203 via positioning pins. The dial base 401 connects the stripping wheel 402 to the body bushing 201 via pins and screws, ensuring that both the main body component 2 and the dial component 4 are linked to the main shaft 102. The outer circumference of the stripping wheel 402 is machined with 16 equally divided semi-circular grooves to limit the incoming material (tray 6) from the production line.

[0034] As attached Figure 4 The diagram shows the portion of this invention that limits the vertical height of the secondary insertion: the cam component, which mainly includes: a fixed post 301, a cam 302, and a fixed plate 303. The fixed plate 303 is connected to the fixed post 301 and the cam 302 as a single unit by screws. The cam 302 is connected to the main shaft 102 via a bearing to ensure concentricity. The fixed post 301 is fixed to the machine base by screws, preventing the cam component from rotating with the overall equipment. A track is machined around the outer side of the cam 302. The track mainly includes two ramps and two straight sections. The upper straight section 304 is the waiting position for the insertion component 5. The lower ramp 307 causes the insertion component 5 to move downwards to complete the insertion of the release paper. The lower straight section 306 is the holding section after insertion. The upper ramp 305 causes the insertion component 5 to move upwards to complete the removal from the release paper and enter the waiting position for the next operation.

[0035] As attached Figure 6 The diagram shows the part of the invention that directly completes the secondary insertion action, mainly comprising: an insertion rod 501, a rejection sleeve 502, a rejection spring 503, a spring limiting block 504, a lock nut 505, an insertion spring 506, a splined shaft 507, and a cam bearing 508. The insertion rod 501 and the insertion spring 506 are fixed within the splined shaft 507 by the lock nut 505, limiting their lowest insertion position. The spring limiting block 504 is fixed to the insertion rod by a set screw. The rejection sleeve 502 can slide up and down within the pin hole groove of the insertion rod 501 by a pin and under the action of the rejection spring 503 and external force. The cam bearing 508 rolls within the track of the cam 302, driving the splined shaft 507 to move up and down within the splined bearing 202.

[0036] As attached Figure 7As shown, the working principle of the insertion of the release paper in this invention patent is explained as follows, taking the action of a single station as an example: First, the machine tool transmits power to the gear 101, the gear 101 drives the spindle 102, the spindle 102 drives the main body component 2 and the dial component 4 to rotate at high speed, and the secondary insertion component 5 also rotates with the body 203. The release paper 8 has been inserted into the steel shell 7 once. The steel shell 7 enters the dial base 401 with the rotation of the equipment in the tray 6 and is fixed in position by the peeling wheel 402 and rotates with it. When the secondary insertion component 5 rotates to the lower slope position of the cam 302, the cam bearing 508 drives the entire secondary insertion component 5 to move downward along the spline bearing 202.

[0037] Under normal circumstances, in the straight section at the lower end of the cam 302 track, the insertion rod 501 is pressed downward to the working position by the insertion spring 506, and the insertion rod 501 completely presses the isolation paper 8 into the bottom of the steel shell 7.

[0038] Abnormal situation 1: Due to excessive resistance from the manganese ring, the release paper 8 was not inserted to the bottom of the steel shell 7. The insertion spring 506 was compressed, and the insertion rod 501 moved upward relative to the normal lowest position. The rejection sleeve 502 followed suit and moved upward. The external position controller detected that the position of the rejection sleeve 502 was abnormal and recorded the subsequent rejections at this station.

[0039] Abnormal situation 2: Due to fluctuations during the winding process, the overall height of the release paper 8 increases. Although the insertion rod 501 presses the release paper 8 into the bottom of the steel shell 7, the upper end of the release paper 8 squeezes the rejection sleeve 502, and the rejection spring 503 is compressed. The external position controller detects that the position of the rejection sleeve 502 is abnormal and records the subsequent rejection at this station.

[0040] Next, the entire assembly rotates and ascends the ramp on the cam 302 track. The cam bearing 508 drives the secondary insertion component 5 upward, removing it from the isolation paper 8. As the entire assembly rotates, it disengages via the equipment's dial wheel and enters the transmission line. This completes the entire process of secondary insertion of the manganese ring for alkaline manganese batteries, from input feeding → positioning → secondary insertion → feeding output. The entire machine operates by sequentially repeating the secondary insertion action of a single station in 16 workstations.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
