[0031] A cylindrical battery cell voltage sorting machine includes a feed hopper 1 arranged above the feed conveyor 2 and guiding plates 31 arranged on opposite sides of the feed conveyor 2 in the conveying direction.

The upper rail 82 and the lower rail 83 are connected to the middle rail 81 through corresponding curved rails 84. A steering plate 85 is installed at the intersection of the middle rail 81 and the upper rail 82 and the lower rail 83. The steering plate 85 is driven to rotate by a power device, and the connection between the middle rail 81 and one of the upper rail 82 or the lower rail 83 is controlled by the steering plate 85.
[0042] An embodiment of the present invention:
[0043] Manually put the cylindrical battery cells 100 to be tested into the feed hopper 1. Under the action of gravity, the cylindrical battery cells 100 fall out from the bottom opening of the feed hopper 1 one by one and land on the top of the feed conveyor 2. The distance between the top of the feed conveyor 2 and the bottom of the feed hopper 1 is adapted to the shape of the cylindrical battery cells 100.
[0044] The two sets of guide side plates 31 are located on opposite sides of the feed conveyor 2, and the distance between the two sets of guide side plates 31 gradually narrows from one end close to the feed hopper 1 to the other end until the distance is the same as the column length of the cylindrical battery cell 100;
[0045] The upper side plate 32 and the lower side plate 33 are fixedly connected to the end of the guide side plate 31 away from the feed hopper 1. The left guide side plate 31 and the left upper side plate 32 are provided with an upper guide groove 311 extending along the conveying direction of the feed conveyor 2. The right guide side plate 31 and the right lower side plate 33 are provided with a lower guide groove 312. The guide groove 312 is located at the guide side plate 31 and extends along the conveying direction of the feed conveyor 2.
[0046] When the cylindrical battery cell 100 is conveyed by the feed conveyor 2, the column is limited by the two sets of guide side plates 31, so that the positive terminal of the cylindrical battery cell 100 is relatively inserted into the upper guide groove 311 or the lower guide groove 312 of the guide side plate 31, and the cross rotating frame 35 is located at the connection between the guide side plate 31, the upper side plate 32 and the lower side plate 33, and the cross rotating frame 35 rotates freely; thus, the cylindrical battery cell 100 with the positive terminal located in the upper guide groove 311 drives the cross rotating frame 35 to rotate forward, so that the cylindrical battery cell 100 moves to Between the two groups of upper side plates 32; the cylindrical battery cell 100 with the positive terminal located in the lower guide groove 311 drives the cross rotating frame 35 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the cylindrical battery cell 100 moves to between the two groups of lower side plates 33; the spacing between the two groups of upper side plates 32 and the spacing between the two groups of lower side plates 33 are equal to the column length of the cylindrical battery cell 100; thereby, the cylindrical battery cell 100 with the positive terminal facing left is transported between the two groups of upper side plates 32, and the cylindrical battery cell 100 with the positive terminal facing right is transported between the two groups of lower side plates 33.
[0047] Upper clamping grooves 321 and lower clamping grooves 331 are respectively formed inward from the edges of the two groups of upper side plates 32 and the two groups of lower side plates 33. The structures and functions of the upper clamping grooves 321 and the lower clamping grooves 331 are the same. Under normal conditions, the limiting rods 37 at the openings of the upper clamping grooves 321 and the lower clamping grooves 331 prevent the cylindrical battery cells 100 from detaching. At this time, the cylindrical battery cells 100 are arranged in a line and are in contact with each other in pairs, and the frontmost group of cylindrical battery cells 100 is abutted and limited by the limiting rods 37.
[0048] Bottom plates for supporting the cylindrical battery cells 100 are provided between the two groups of upper side plates 32 and between the two groups of lower side plates 33; a counter is installed in the bottom plates. After the counter detects that the number of cylindrical battery cells 100 accumulated between the two groups of upper side plates 32 and between the two groups of lower side plates 33 reaches a set value, the clamping module 7 is controlled to grab a number of cylindrical battery cells 100 between the two groups of upper side plates 32 or between the two groups of lower side plates 33 that meet the standard.
[0049] The transverse movement module 4 is used to drive the clamping module 7 to move transversely between the upper side plate 32 (or the lower side plate 33) and the discharge conveyor 10; the longitudinal movement module 5 is used to drive the clamping module 7 to move longitudinally between several groups of discharge conveyors 10; the vertical movement module 9 is used to drive the clamping module 7 to move vertically between the upper side plate 32 and the lower side plate 33.
[0050] The bi-directional telescopic device 71 is in the extended state. At this time, the distance between the corresponding clamping covers 721 and clamping platforms 723 is greater than the distance between the outer sides of the two groups of upper side plates 32 and the two groups of lower side plates 33. First, the lateral movement module 4 drives the clamping module 7 to move to the outside of the two groups of upper side plates 32 (or the two groups of lower side plates 33). After that, the bi-directional telescopic device 71 shortens, driving the two groups of clamping strips 72 at its two output ends to approach synchronously. The clamping covers 721 and clamping platforms 723 on the inner sides of the two groups of clamping strips 72 are relatively inserted into the corresponding upper clamping grooves 321 (or lower clamping grooves 331), so that the positive connection terminals of the cylindrical battery cells 100 are relatively inserted into the inner cavities of the clamping covers 721 arranged at equal intervals in a row on the inner side walls of one group of clamping strips 72. The negative extreme ends of the cylindrical battery cells 100 are abutted against the clamping platforms 723 arranged at equal intervals in a row on the inner sides of the other group of clamping strips 72. The insertion of the positive connection terminals of the cylindrical battery cells 100 into the inner cavities of the clamping covers 721 can prevent the cylindrical battery cells 100 from falling downward during the clamping process. During the process of the two groups of clamping strips 72 approaching each other, the clamping strips 72 gradually abut against the outer side walls of the upper side plates 32 (or lower side plates 33) on the same side. During this process, the clamping strips 72 abut against the outer ends of the curved rods 36. The middle parts of the curved rods 36 are rotatably connected to the corresponding upper side plates 32 (or lower side plates 33). The inner ends of the curved rods 36 are provided with sliding grooves 361. The limiting rods 37 are in linear sliding fit on the corresponding upper side plates 32 (or lower side plates 33), and the upper ends of the limiting rods 37 are relatively located in the sliding grooves 361 at the inner ends of the corresponding curved rods 36. During the process of the clamping strips 72 approaching the upper side plates 32 (or lower side plates 33), the curved rods 36 are driven to rotate forward, so that the curved rods 36 drive the corresponding limiting rods 37 to move vertically upward, realizing the opening of the openings of the corresponding upper clamping grooves 321 (or lower clamping grooves 331).
[0051] After that, the lateral movement module 4 drives the clamping module 7 after clamping a plurality of cylindrical battery cells 100 to move horizontally away from the upper side plates 32 (or lower side plates 33) to directly above one of the discharging conveyors 10. During this process, the clamping covers 721 move horizontally away from the openings of the corresponding upper clamping grooves 321 (or lower clamping grooves 331). At this time, the clamping strips 72 maintain the abutting state with the curved rods 36. After complete detachment, the clamping strips 72 move horizontally away from abutting against the curved rods 36, and under the driving force of the elastic force of the elastic members, the corresponding limiting rods 37 are pushed to close the openings of the upper clamping grooves 321 (or lower clamping grooves 331) to prevent subsequent cylindrical battery cells 100 from detaching from the openings of the upper clamping grooves 321 (or lower clamping grooves 331).
[0052] The inner cavity of the clamping cover 721 is provided with a positive test probe, and the side wall of the clamping platform 723 is provided with a negative test probe. When the clamping cover 721 and the clamping platform 723 clamp the cylindrical battery cell 100, the positive test probe and the negative test probe are abutted against the positive and negative poles of the cylindrical battery cell 100. At this time, the internal resistance, voltage, etc. of the cylindrical battery cell 100 are detected by an internally connected internal resistance meter.
[0053] With the cooperation of the vertical movement module 9 and the longitudinal movement module 5, the clamping module 7 conveys the cylindrical battery cells 100 in sequence on several groups of discharging conveyors 10. When the cylindrical battery cells 100 are moved to the corresponding discharging conveyors 10, the telescopic electromagnet 722 shortens to drive the clamping cover 721 away from the corresponding clamping platform 723, so that the positive terminal of the cylindrical battery cell 100 is relatively withdrawn from the clamping cover 721, thereby realizing the release of the corresponding cylindrical battery cell 100 without affecting other groups.
[0054] Since the positive terminals of the cylindrical battery cells 100 between the two upper side plates 32 face left, and the positive terminals of the cylindrical battery cells 100 between the two lower side plates 33 face right, therefore, a rotating module 6 is provided. The rotating module 6 is used to drive the clamping module 7 to rotate 180°, so that the clamping covers 721 and clamping platforms 723 of the two groups of clamping strips 72 exchange positions; and the cylindrical battery cells 100 with different orientations are grasped in the same orientation to the discharging conveyor 10 through the rotating module 6.
[0055] A guiding track 8 is relatively fixedly arranged, including an upper track 82, a lower track 83 and a middle track 81. The upper track 82 and the middle track 81 are connected by a curved track 84, and the lower track 83 and the middle track 81 are connected by another group of curved tracks 84. The vertical movement module 9 includes an upper platform 91, a lower platform 92 and a telescopic device 93. The upper platform 91 is relatively fixed. The telescopic device 93 uses a telescopic rod. The lower platform 92 is relatively movable for the installation of the clamping module 7, and rollers 921 are installed on the side wall of the lower platform 92;
[0056] When the transverse movement module 4 drives the clamping cover 721 and the clamping platform 723 to move horizontally out of the corresponding upper clamping groove 321 (or lower clamping groove 331), at this time, the rollers 921 just move in the upper track 82 (or lower track 83); after the clamping cover 721 and the clamping platform 723 are completely separated from the upper clamping groove 321 (or lower clamping groove 331), the rollers 921 are guided into the middle track 81 through the curved track 84. During this process, the telescopic device 93 follows for telescopic adaptation. When the rollers 921 are located in the middle track 81, the clamped cylindrical battery cell 100 is located a short distance above the discharging conveyor 10;
[0057] A turning plate 85 is rotatably connected at the three-way intersection of the upper track 82, the lower track 83 and the middle track 81. By closing a group of the upper track 82 or the lower track 83 through the turning plate 85, the middle track 81 is communicated with a group of the upper track 82 or the lower track 83, and the remaining upper track 82 or lower track 83 is blocked.
[0058] The counter between the two groups of upper side plates 32 detects that the quantity of the cylindrical battery cells 100 meets the standard. Through the control of the central processing unit, the power device drives the steering plate 85 to rotate forward, so that the steering plate 85 closes the lower track 83; the counter between the two groups of lower side plates 33 detects that the quantity of the cylindrical battery cells 100 meets the standard. Through the control of the central processing unit, the power device drives the steering plate 85 to rotate reversely, so that the steering plate 85 closes the upper track 82; the front roller 921 is relatively located at the middle track 81.
[0059] By rolling the roller 921 in the upper track 82 and the lower track 83, the movement of the clamping bar 72 is precisely controlled to the outside of the upper clamping groove 321 (or the lower clamping groove 331), which is beneficial for the two-way telescopic device 71 to drive the clamping cover 721 and the clamping table 723 to move longitudinally and insert into the upper clamping groove 321 (or the lower clamping groove 331).
