Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of battery production, and in particular relates to a turret-based code engraving and scanning device. Background Art

[0002] Before cylindrical battery cells are put into casings, codes need to be engraved or scanned on the outside of the steel casing to facilitate quality traceability. This allows for easy barcode binding with other corresponding parts in subsequent processes. If quality anomalies occur in terminal applications, the barcode can be scanned to trace information such as the product's production date / batch / machine number / process achievement data, allowing for anomaly detection on batteries from the same batch to prevent recurrence in subsequent production and greater economic losses.

[0003] The conventional steel shell coding method requires multiple heads to operate simultaneously online in a skipping manner while meeting the efficiency of the entire line. The incoming steel shell materials need to be separated before coding and merged after coding. The steel shells need to be rotated to facilitate the scanning terminal to find the coding position. The entire action process is time-consuming, and when coding and scanning are performed at multiple stations, a large area is occupied and the action process is cumbersome, which cannot meet the market's growing requirements for equipment efficiency and equipment space requirements.

An electronic tag 92 corresponding to the cup 9 is provided at the bottom of the cup 9. By setting the electronic tag 92 corresponding to the cup 9, subsequent tracking is facilitated.

[0051] The cup 9 is fixed in the fixed base 71 , and as the turret 6 rotates, the steel shell fixture 72 moves the steel shell 10 along the cam lifting groove 315 , and the steel shell 10 and the cup 9 are inserted and separated during the movement.

[0052] Furthermore, the steel shell clamp 72 includes a connecting plate 721, a cam follower block 722, a clamping cylinder 723, a steel shell clamp 724, and a solenoid valve 725. A slide rail 726 is vertically arranged on one side of the connecting plate 721. The slide rail 726 slides with the slider 718 arranged on the top of the other side of the back plate 711. The clamping cylinder 723 is vertically arranged on the other side of the connecting plate 721. The clamping cylinder 723 is connected to the steel shell clamp 724. The clamping cylinder 723 is connected to the solenoid valve 725 signal. The external controller controls the clamping cylinder 723 through the solenoid valve 725. The clamping cylinder 723 is used to drive the steel shell clamp 724 to open and close to clamp or release the steel shell 10. The cam follower block 722 is slidably arranged inside the cam lifting groove 315 and is movably connected to the top of the connecting plate 721.

[0053] When the steel shell clamp 72 moves with the steel shell 10 to a designated position along the cam lifting groove 315 , the clamping cylinder 723 is controlled by the electromagnetic valve 725 to clamp or release the steel shell 10 .

The top and bottom of one side of the back plate 711 are fixedly connected to the upper mounting ring 62 and the lower mounting ring 63 respectively.

[0055] The turntable 6 and the lifting sheave 31 are supported by the anti-rotation bracket 32 ​​, and the anti-rotation bracket 32 ​​also plays a role in fixing the lifting sheave 31 to prevent the lifting sheave 31 from rotating.

[0056] Furthermore, the steel shell input device 4 includes an input chain plate line 41, and a spacing screw 42 is provided on one side of the input chain plate line 41.

[0057] The use of the dividing screw 42 to separate the feeding of the support cups 9 can not only realize the continuous high-speed transportation of the support cups 9, but also separate the continuous support cups 9 individually, avoiding the situation where many support cups 9 are concentrated on the feeding turntable 43, causing material jamming and tooth breaking. The feeding turntable 43 is rotated to rotate the support cups 10 loaded with the steel shells to be engraved and scanned from the outlet of the input chain plate line 10 into the fixed base 71 located below the horizontal low position, which can ensure that the feeding of the support cups 10 is smooth without pause or jamming.

The discharging turntable 52 has the same rotation direction as the reversing turntable 53. When the discharging turntable 52 rotates, it is used to rotate the cup 9 loaded with the engraved and scanned steel shell 10 from the reversing turntable 53 into the entrance of the output chain plate line 51.

[0059] Similarly, the cup 9 loaded with the engraved and scanned steel shell 10 is rotated into the entrance of the output chain plate line 51 through the discharge turntable 52 and the reversing turntable 53, so that the cup 10 can be discharged at high speed without stopping or getting stuck.

[0063] The plurality of arc-shaped barriers cooperate with the notch 431 and the third arc surface 532 to ensure that the support cup 9 moves forward along the rotation direction and will not deviate due to centrifugal force.

[0064] Furthermore, the steel shell input device 4 also includes a feed detection device 45 arranged on the input chain plate line 41. The feed detection device 45 includes a first photoelectric detector 451 and a second photoelectric detector 452.

[0067] In one embodiment of the present application, see Figure 1 、 Figure 7A code engraving and scanning device based on a turret is proposed, including a mounting platform 2, a mounting base plate 1 arranged on the mounting platform 2, and a code engraving and scanning device 8. A turret device, a lifting device 3, a steel shell input device 4, and a steel shell output device 5 are arranged on the mounting base plate 1. The turret device includes a turret 6 and a plurality of turret fixtures 7 evenly arranged around the turret 6. The turret 6 is rotatably arranged on the mounting base plate 1, and the turret fixture 7 is slidably arranged on the turret 6 in the vertical direction. The lifting device 3 includes a lifting groove wheel 31, which is sleeved on the top of the turret 6 and is fixedly connected to the mounting base plate 1. Next, a cam lifting groove 315 is opened on the side wall of the lifting groove wheel 31, and the cam lifting groove 315 includes a horizontal low position 311, an ascending section 312, a horizontal high position 313, and a descending section 314 which are arranged in sequence along the rotation direction of the turret 6 and are connected end to end. The top sliding of the steel shell clamp 72 is set inside the cam lifting groove 315, the discharge end of the steel shell input device 4 is set near the horizontal low position 311, the feed end of the steel shell output device 5 is set near the descending section 314, and the code engraving and scanning device 8 is set near the horizontal high position 313, including a code engraving component 81, a code scanning component 82, and a dust removal component.

[0068] The working principle of the above-mentioned turret-based code engraving and scanning equipment is as follows: while the turret fixture 7 rotates with the turret 6, its height changes with the curvature of the cam lifting groove 315, thereby integrating the steel shell cup feeding, steel shell and cup separation, code engraving and scanning, and steel shell placement into the cup in a limited space; each device in the turret-based code engraving and scanning equipment maintains synchronization and high-speed operation within unit time, which not only ensures the high completion efficiency of the entire production process, but also reduces the equipment footprint due to the reduction in the number of lane merging and transfer devices; the turret 6 in this embodiment is an intermittent cam turret, which rotates 3 cup positions each time, and the 3 engraving components 81 and 3 scanning components 82 operate synchronously.

[0069] The specific process of the whole production process is as follows: the cup 9 loaded with the steel shell 10 to be engraved and scanned is transported intermittently in groups of 3 to the turret fixture 7 below the horizontal low position 311 in the turret device through the steel shell input device 4. The cup 9 is fixed by the turret fixture 7. As the turret 6 rotates, the turret fixture 7 moves to the rising section 312, clamps the steel shell 10 and drives the steel shell 10 to rise, so that the steel shell 10 is separated from the cup 9. As the turret 6 rotates further, the turret fixture 7 moves the steel shell 10 to the horizontal high position. Position 313 and maintain it, first engrave the code through the engraving component 81, and remove the dust through the dust removal component, and then scan the steel shell 10 through the scanning component 82.
