DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present application, a more comprehensive description of the present application will be given below with reference to the relevant drawings. The preferred embodiments of the present application are shown in the drawings. However, the present application can be realized in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present application more thorough and comprehensive.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 A high-speed disc arranging machine (10) for button batteries, comprising a rotating disc mechanism (100), and an arranging and feeding mechanism (200), a detection mechanism (300), and a discharging mechanism (400) arranged in sequence around the rotating disc mechanism (100). The arranging and feeding mechanism (200) is used to feed button batteries into the rotating disc mechanism (100) one by one. The rotating disc mechanism (100) rotates and conveys the button batteries to the working area of the detection mechanism (300) and the discharging mechanism (400) in sequence. The detection mechanism (300) is used to identify whether the button batteries are positive or negative, and feeds back the identification signal to the discharging mechanism (400). The discharging mechanism (400) discharges the button batteries with positive or negative poles respectively.

[0024] It should be noted that the traditional tray of button cell is arranged by manual, and the button cell is arranged one by one by manual. Obviously, the manual arrangement method does not meet the current production efficiency requirement. The existing technology develops a tray arrangement device. However, the button cell has small size, and the positive and negative poles need to be distinguished. Therefore, the tray arrangement efficiency of the existing tray arrangement device is not high. Therefore, the present application provides a high-speed tray arrangement machine. Through the cooperation of the arrangement feeding mechanism (200), the rotating disc mechanism (100), the detection mechanism (300) and the discharging mechanism (400), the button cell is quickly identified in the feeding section, and the button cell with different orientations is directly discharged, thereby simplifying the production process, improving the production rhythm, and improving the overall efficiency of the tray arrangement machine.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Further, the rotating disc mechanism (100) comprises a rotating disc (110), a rotating driving device (120) and a position adjusting device (130). The rotating driving device (120) is used to drive the rotating disc (110) to rotate. The position adjusting device (130) is arranged on one side of the rotating disc (110) and located between the arrangement feeding mechanism (200) and the detection mechanism (300). The position adjusting device (130) is used to adjust the position of the button cell on the rotating disc (110) and feed the position information of the button cell to the detection mechanism (300).

[0026] It should be noted that the rotating disc (110) has a certain friction with the button cell. Therefore, under the condition of a predetermined rotating speed, the rotating disc (110) can drive the button cell to rotate by friction when rotating. The position adjusting device (130) is mainly used to adjust the position of the button cell from the center of the rotating disc (110), so as to facilitate the positioning operation of the detection mechanism (300) and the discharging mechanism (400) on the button cell on the rotating disc (110).

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Further, the position adjusting device (130) comprises a second support frame (131), a rotating motor (132), a positioning block (133) and a pair of inductive sensors (134). The rotating motor (132) is arranged on the second support frame (131). The positioning block (133) is connected with the output end of the rotating motor (132). The positioning block (133) is arranged above the rotating disc (110). The positioning block (133) is used to adjust the distance of the button cell from the center of the rotating disc (110). The pair of inductive sensors (134) are arranged on the second support frame (131). The sensing area of the pair of inductive sensors (134) is located between the positioning block (133) and the detection mechanism (300).

[0028] It should be noted that the position information of the button cell is fed back to the rotating driving device (120), the detection device and the discharging device by the induction sensor (134), and after the position of the button cell is accurately determined, the rotating driving device (120) is started and paused according to the preset parameters, so as to facilitate the positive and negative electrode distinguishing operation and the discharging operation, thereby improving the alignment of the detection mechanism (300) and the discharging mechanism (400) with the button cell on the turntable (110), and facilitating the improvement of the production rhythm.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Further, the positioning block (133) comprises a connecting part (1331) and a pushing disc (1332), one end of the connecting part (1331) is connected with the output end of the rotating motor (132), the other end of the connecting part (1331) is connected with the axis of the pushing disc (1332), the rotating motor (132) drives the pushing disc (1332) to rotate, and the pushing disc (1332) abuts against the side wall of the button cell, so that the distance between each button cell and the center of the turntable (110) is consistent.

[0030] It should be noted that the position of the pushing disc (1332) is set according to the preset parameters, the rotating direction of the pushing disc (1332) is rotated according to the conveying direction of the button cell, the button cell falls into the turntable (110) from the rotating arrangement mechanism, and moves with the turntable (110), when passing through the position of the pushing disc (1332), the edge part of the pushing disc (1332) abuts against the button cell, and the button cell is pushed, so that the position of each button cell on the turntable (110) can be basically kept consistent, so as to facilitate the operation of the subsequent detection mechanism (300) and the discharging mechanism (400) on the button cell, improve the alignment accuracy, and improve the production fluency.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Further, the discharging mechanism (400) comprises a gas sending device (410), a first discharging belt device (420) and a second discharging belt device (430), the first discharging belt device (420) has a first feeding port, the second discharging belt device (430) has a second feeding port, the first feeding port and the second feeding port are respectively adjacent to the turntable mechanism (100), and the gas sending device (410) blows the button cells with different orientations from the turntable mechanism (100) into the first feeding port and the second feeding port respectively according to the feedback signal of the detection mechanism (300).

[0032] It should be noted that the positive and negative electrodes of the button cell are distinguished on the turntable (110), and then the button cell needs to be transferred to the discharging mechanism (400) for discharging. Under the same condition, the existing technology generally uses a pushing mechanism to push the button cell into the first discharging belt device (420) and the second discharging belt device (430), but in the device of the present application, the turntable mechanism (100) is used for conveying the button cell. The pushing mechanism generally needs to be provided with a pushing driver. Under the condition that the overall structure of the present application is relatively compact, it is relatively difficult to leave space for the pushing mechanism. Therefore, based on the characteristics of small size and light weight of the button cell, the applicant of the present application proposes to use the air sending device (410) to send the button cell from the turntable mechanism (100) to the first discharging belt and the second discharging belt. The air sending device has a simple structure, which not only maintains the characteristics of compactness and small size of the tray placing machine, but also can smoothly complete the operation of transferring the button cell from the turntable mechanism (100) to the first discharging belt device (420) and the second discharging belt device (430). Further, the first inlet and the second inlet are designed as funnels, and the opening end thereof is connected with the turntable (110). In this way, the button cell can be more smoothly fed into the first inlet or the second inlet.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Further, the air sending device (410) includes a first support frame (411) and two air blowing assemblies (412). The two air blowing assemblies (412) are arranged above the turntable mechanism (100) through the first support frame (411). Each air blowing assembly (412) includes an air blowing nozzle (4121), an air pipe and an electromagnetic valve (4122). The air blowing nozzle (4121) is in communication with the air pipe, and the electromagnetic valve (4122) is arranged on the air pipe and is used for controlling the gas flow speed of the air pipe.

[0034] It should be noted that the air pipe is connected with an external air sending device. The air pipe includes a plurality of hoses (not shown in the drawing) and a plurality of connecting pipes. The adjacent connecting pipes are in communication through the hoses. The air blowing nozzle (4121) is connected with the hose through the connecting pipe. The electromagnetic valve (4122) is mainly used for controlling the opening and closing of the gas. After receiving the positive and negative recognition signals fed back by the detection mechanism (300), the electromagnetic valve (4122) makes corresponding opening or closing operation. In this way, the button cells with different orientations are sent into the first discharging belt device (420) or the second discharging belt device (430) according to the preset parameters. At the same time, the electromagnetic valve (4122) can also adjust the air speed according to the size of the button cell, so that the button cell can be smoothly fed into the first feeding port or the second feeding port.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2Further, the detection mechanism (300) comprises a third support frame (310), a CCD detection camera (320) and a distance adjusting assembly (330). The distance adjusting assembly (330) is arranged on the third support frame (310), and the CCD detection camera (320) is arranged above the turntable (110) through the distance adjusting assembly (330). The distance adjusting assembly (330) can adjust the vertical and horizontal distance between the CCD detection camera (320) and the turntable (110). In this way, the position of the CCD detection camera (320) can be adjusted according to the size of the button cell and the preset position of the turntable (110), so that the CCD detection camera (320) is located directly above the button cell during detection, thereby improving the detection recognition accuracy.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Further, the first discharge belt device (420) and the second discharge belt device (430) are arranged side by side. The first discharge belt device (420) comprises a first belt conveying assembly (421), a second belt conveying assembly (422) and a turnover jig (423). One end of the first belt conveying assembly (421) is provided with a first feeding port. The turnover jig (423) is provided with a turnover channel. The two ends of the turnover channel are respectively communicated with the first belt conveying assembly (421) and the second belt conveying assembly (422). The button cell is turned over by 180° after passing through the turnover channel.

[0037] It should be noted that the first discharge belt device (420) and the second discharge belt device (430) are respectively used to convey button cells with different orientations. Assuming that the positive electrode of the button cell is required to face upward during the tray arrangement, the button cell with the positive electrode facing upward is blown into the second discharge belt device (430) by the corresponding blowing assembly (412) after being identified and determined by the detection mechanism (300). The button cell with the negative electrode facing upward is blown into the first discharge belt device (420) by the corresponding blowing assembly (412) for turnover operation. In this way, the button cells with different orientations can all be discharged and arranged without the process of NG discharge and return.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 Further, the arrangement and feeding mechanism (200) comprises a storage and feeding device (210), a rotary arrangement device (220) and a feeding belt device (230).

One end of the feeding belt device (230) is connected with the rotary arrangement device (220), and the other end of the feeding belt device (230) is connected with the turntable mechanism (100).

[0039] It should be noted that the storage feeding device (210) is composed of a storage feeding conveying belt, a hopper and a hopper, the hopper is arranged above the conveying belt, the discharge end of the storage feeding conveying belt is connected with the hopper, it is a conventional design, therefore, it will not be repeated, the rotating arrangement device (220) and the previously applied patent CN202122389982.6 are also described in detail, therefore, it will not be repeated, the feeding belt device (230) can adopt a conventional belt conveying device, so that the arrangement of the feeding mechanism (200) realizes feeding of the button cell into the rotating disc mechanism (100) one by one.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figures 1 to 2 Figure 3 Figure 4 Further, the button cell high-speed disc placing machine (10) further comprises a discharging mechanical arm (500) and a tray conveying mechanism (600), the discharging mechanical arm (500) is arranged between the discharging mechanism (400) and the tray conveying mechanism (600), the tray conveying mechanism (600) is used for conveying a tray, and the discharging mechanical arm (500) is used for transferring the button cell on the discharging mechanism (400) into the tray to perform tray filling operation.
