Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery sorting technology, and in particular to a battery sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] After testing the electrical performance parameters of lithium batteries, such as voltage and resistance, the batteries need to be classified according to the test results to ensure that different types and states of batteries are properly handled or allocated to appropriate environments or production lines.

[0003] In existing technologies, battery sorting is generally carried out by robotic arms. However, handling multi-channel sorting tasks requires the robotic arms to frequently switch between different channels, which reduces the sorting speed and lowers the overall production efficiency and capacity of the production line, negatively impacting production lines that require high output and continuous production. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a battery sorting device that can enhance the degree of automation, improve the efficiency of battery sorting, and thus improve the overall production efficiency and capacity.

[0005] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a battery sorting device includes a frame; a feeding mechanism disposed on the frame and used to supply batteries that have completed performance testing; multiple sorting channels disposed on the frame and inclined, with the input end of each sorting channel corresponding to the output end of the feeding mechanism; and a first collecting mechanism disposed on the frame, the number of which corresponds to the number of sorting channels, with each sorting channel corresponding to one first collecting mechanism. The first collecting mechanism includes a driving component and multiple limiting components disposed on the frame, the driving component being connected to the multiple limiting components, and the driving component being used to drive the multiple limiting components to alternately communicate with the output end of the sorting channel from bottom to top.

[0006] The battery sorting device according to embodiments of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: after the batteries pass performance testing, they are sorted into the corresponding sorting channels by the feeding mechanism. The batteries move along the path defined by the sorting channels and finally roll directly into the limiting components corresponding to and connected to the sorting channels. After the limiting components corresponding to and connected to the sorting channels complete the reception of the batteries, they rise under the drive of the driving components. At the same time, the limiting components located below rotate to be connected to the output end of the sorting channels. This cycle is repeated, thereby avoiding frequent switching of the transfer structure between different channels, ensuring that the batteries in each channel can be automatically collected, and improving the production efficiency and capacity of the production line.

[0007] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a second collection mechanism is further included. The second collection mechanism is disposed on the frame. The number of the second collection mechanism corresponds to the number of the first collection mechanism. Each first collection mechanism is provided with a corresponding second collection mechanism. The input end of the second collection mechanism is connected to the output end of the first collection mechanism.

The batteries on the first loading section roll, and the second sensor is used to detect whether the batteries on the first loading section are empty. The first and second blocking members are electrically connected to the first sensor and the second blocking member is electrically connected to the second sensor. When the first sensor detects that the batteries on the first loading section meet the set quantity requirement, the first blocking member prevents the batteries on the first transport section from rolling into the first loading section, and the second blocking member releases the batteries on the first loading section. When the second sensor detects that the batteries on the first loading section are empty, the first blocking member releases the batteries on the first transport section from rolling into the first loading section, and the second blocking member prevents the batteries on the first loading end from rolling.

[0012] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a third sensor is provided at the output end of the first loading section. The third sensor is used to detect whether there is a battery on the loading platform corresponding to the output end of the first loading section, so as to control the release of the second blocking member and prevent the battery on the first loading section from entering the limiting assembly.

[0013] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the second collection mechanism includes: a housing disposed on a frame; a plurality of first guide plates disposed obliquely in the housing along a vertical direction; a plurality of second guide plates disposed obliquely in the housing along a vertical direction, the plurality of first guide plates and the plurality of second guide plates being spaced apart in the vertical direction, the first guide plates, the second guide plates and the housing forming a guide channel, the input end of the guide channel being correspondingly connected to the output end of the first collection mechanism; and a third guide plate disposed obliquely in the housing, the input end of the third guide plate being correspondingly connected to the output end of the guide channel, the output end of the third guide plate being correspondingly connected to the second input end, the third guide plate being used to guide the battery in the guide channel into the first collection mechanism.

[0014] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the third guide plate includes: a second transport section, the input end of which is connected to the output end of the guide channel, the output end of which is provided with a third blocking member, which is movably connected to the second transport section and is used to prevent the battery on the second transport section from rolling; and a second loading section, the input end of which is connected to the output end of the second transport section, the input end of which is provided with a fourth sensor, which is used to detect whether a battery is loaded on a first loading platform connected to the input end of the guide channel, the third blocking member being electrically connected to the fourth sensor, and when the fourth sensor detects that no battery is loaded on the first loading platform connected to the input end of the guide channel, the third blocking member releases the battery on the second transport section to roll into the second loading section.

The use of "first" and "second" in the description is merely for distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features, or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0031] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "set up," "install," and "connect" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0032] refer to Figures 1 to 3 A battery sorting device according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the battery sorting device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a frame 100; a feeding mechanism 200, which is disposed on the frame 100 and is used to supply batteries 10 that have completed performance testing; a plurality of sorting channels 300, which are all disposed on the frame 100 and are inclined, with the input end of each sorting channel 300 corresponding to the output end of the feeding mechanism 200; and a first collection mechanism 400, which is disposed on the frame 100, with the number of first collection mechanisms 400 corresponding to the number of sorting channels 300, and each sorting channel 300 corresponding to one first collection mechanism 400. The first collection mechanism 400 includes a driving component 430 and a plurality of limiting components 440 disposed on the frame 100, the driving component 430 being connected to the plurality of limiting components 440, and the driving component 430 being used to drive the plurality of limiting components 440 to alternately communicate with the output end of the sorting channel 300 from bottom to top.

[0034] like Figure 1As shown, the feeding mechanism 200, sorting channel 300, and first collection mechanism 400 are sequentially arranged on the frame 100 from front to back. In this specific embodiment, five sorting channels 300 are provided, all extending in the front-to-back direction and evenly distributed in the left-to-right direction. Each sorting channel 300 is correspondingly provided with a first collection mechanism 400. The sorting channel 300 is inclined downward toward and connected to the first collection mechanism 400. The first collection mechanism 400 receives the batteries 10 rolling off the sorting channel 300 and collects the rolling batteries 10 in the vertical direction. Specifically, the first collection mechanism 400 includes a driving component 430 and multiple limiting components 440. The driving component 430 drives the multiple limiting components 440 to move upward, so that the multiple limiting components 440 sequentially correspond to the output end of the sorting channel 300 from bottom to top. Therefore, after passing the performance test, the battery 10 is sorted by the feeding mechanism 200 into the corresponding sorting channel 300. The battery 10 moves along the path defined by the sorting channel 300 and finally rolls directly into the limiting component 440 connected to the sorting channel 300. After receiving the battery 10, the limiting component 440 connected to the sorting channel 300 rises under the drive of the drive component 430. At the same time, the limiting component 440 below rotates to connect to the output end of the sorting channel 300. This cycle is repeated, thereby avoiding frequent switching of the transfer structure between different channels and ensuring that the battery 10 in each channel can be automatically collected, improving the production efficiency and capacity of the production line.

[0035] According to some specific embodiments of the present invention, a second collection mechanism 500 is also included. The second collection mechanism 500 is disposed on the frame 100. The number of the second collection mechanism 500 corresponds to the number of the first collection mechanism 400. Each first collection mechanism 400 is correspondingly provided with one second collection mechanism 500. The input terminal of the second collection mechanism 500 is connected to the output terminal of the first collection mechanism 400. The second collection mechanism 500 is used to collect the battery 10 that overflows from the first collection mechanism 400.

[0036] It should be noted that when the limiting component 440 supports the battery 10 and moves to the top, the maximum collection capacity of the first collection mechanism 400 is reached. To ensure the normal operation of the first collection mechanism 400, the sorting channel 300 must be stopped until all batteries 10 in the first collection mechanism 400 are sent to the next station. Figure 1As shown, a second collection mechanism 500 is provided at the output end of the first collection mechanism 400. When the limiting component 440 supports the battery 10 and moves to the uppermost position, the overflowing battery 10 will be output to the second collection mechanism 500, thereby temporarily storing the overflowing battery 10, balancing the difference between the production speed and the collection speed of the production line, avoiding some equipment from being idle or overloaded due to capacity mismatch, maintaining the continuity of the production line, and thus better utilizing the capacity of the equipment and improving the overall production efficiency.

[0037] According to some specific embodiments of the present invention, the first collection mechanism 400 has a first input terminal 410 and a second input terminal 420, the second input terminal 420 is located below the first input terminal 410, the first input terminal 410 is correspondingly connected to the output terminal of the sorting channel 300, and the output terminal of the second collection mechanism 500 is correspondingly connected to the second input terminal 420 of the first collection mechanism 400.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the first input terminal 410 is located in the middle of the first collection mechanism 400 and is connected to the corresponding sorting channel 300. The second input terminal 420 is located at the lower end of the first collection mechanism 400 and is connected to the output terminal of the second collection mechanism 500. The limiting component 440 supports the battery 10 to move to the uppermost position, and the overflowing battery 10 is output to the second collection mechanism 500 for temporary storage. At the same time, the overflowing battery 10 can also be input into the second input terminal 420 of the first collection mechanism 400 through the second collection mechanism 500. Thus, by returning the battery 10 to the first collection mechanism 400, the battery 10 is recycled to better cope with the processing needs and changes under different conditions and improve the adaptability of the system. At the same time, if an error occurs during the collection process, returning the battery 10 to the first collection mechanism 400 can be corrected to ensure that the final classification and processing results are accurate and improve the overall processing efficiency.

[0039] According to some specific embodiments of the present invention, the drive assembly 430 includes two conveyor belts 431 arranged in a vertical direction, and the limiting assembly 440 includes two partitions 441 respectively arranged on the conveyor belts 431. The two partitions 441 are arranged horizontally and form a first loading platform 442.

[0040] like Figure 2As shown, two conveyor belts 431 are vertically arranged and parallel to each other. Multiple partitions 441 are evenly distributed along the extension direction of the two conveyor belts 431, with each partition 441 corresponding to the previous one to form multiple horizontally arranged first loading platforms 442. These platforms rise under the action of the conveyor belts 431, allowing them to sequentially connect to the output end of the sorting channel 300 from bottom to top. It should be noted that the first loading platforms 442 between the two conveyor belts 431 maintain dynamic balance. The two horizontally corresponding partitions 441 converge at the bottom of the two conveyor belts 431 to form the first loading platform 442. After rising to the top of the two conveyor belts 431, the two horizontally corresponding partitions 441 gradually move away from each other and move downwards along the outer sides of the two conveyor belts 431 in a relative state.

[0041] Furthermore, to accommodate the production of different battery 10 specifications, the separator 441 is detachably mounted on the conveyor belt 431. The operator can adjust the number of the first loading platform 442 according to the production needs of the battery 10, thereby controlling the total amount of battery 10 output from the first collection mechanism 400 to the next station.

[0042] According to some specific embodiments of the present invention, a guide member 4421 is provided on the separator 441. The cross-sectional area of ​​the guide member 4421 gradually decreases along the direction away from the sorting channel 300. The guide member 4421 is used to drive the battery 10 to roll. Figure 3 As shown, each of the partitions 441 is provided with a guide 4421 at its upper end. The partition 441 is inclined under the action of the guide 4421. Therefore, when the battery 10 is on the guide 4421, it has a backward movement tendency. That is, when the battery 10 rises to the top, it will gradually fall into the second collection mechanism 500 with the slope, thereby realizing the automatic cross-mechanism transport of the battery 10.

[0043] According to some specific embodiments of the present invention, the sorting channel 300 includes: a first transport section 310, the input end of which is connected to the output end of the feeding mechanism 200, and the output end of the first transport section 310 is provided with a first blocking member 311, which is movably connected to the first transport section 310 and is used to prevent the batteries 10 on the first transport section 310 from rolling; and a first loading section 320, the input end of which is connected to the output end of the first transport section 310, and the input end of the first loading section 320 is provided with a first sensor, which is used to detect the number of batteries 10 on the first loading section 320, and the output end of the first loading section 320 is provided with a second blocking member 321 and a second sensor, which is movably connected to the first loading section 320 and is used to prevent the batteries 10 on the first transport section 310 from rolling. The batteries 10 on the first loading section 320 roll, and the second sensor is used to detect whether the batteries 10 on the first loading section 320 are empty. The first blocking member 311 and the second blocking member 321 are electrically connected to the first sensor and the second blocking member 321 are electrically connected to the second sensor. When the first sensor detects that the batteries 10 on the first loading section 320 meet the set quantity requirement, the first blocking member 311 prevents the batteries 10 on the first transport section 310 from rolling into the first loading section 320, and the second blocking member 321 releases the batteries 10 on the first loading section 320. When the second sensor detects that the batteries 10 on the first loading section 320 are empty, the first blocking member 311 releases the batteries 10 on the first transport section 310 from rolling into the first loading section 320, and the second blocking member 321 prevents the batteries 10 on the first loading end from rolling.

[0044] like Figure 1As shown, the feeding mechanism 200 inputs the batteries 10 into the first transport section 310. The batteries 10 roll through the first transport section 310 into the first loading section 320, and come to a stop when they roll down to abut against the second blocking member 321. In this specific embodiment, when the first sensor detects that there are ten batteries 10 on the first loading section 320, the first blocking member 311 extends from the side wall of the first transport section 310 to prevent the batteries 10 on the first transport section 310 from continuing to roll. At the same time, the second blocking member 321 retracts into the side wall of the first loading section 320 to release the ten batteries 10 on the first loading section 320 and allow them to enter the first loading platform 442 corresponding to the output end of the first loading section 320 in sequence; then, when the second sensor detects that there are ten batteries 10 on the first loading section 320, the first blocking member 311 extends from the side wall of the first transport section 310 to prevent the batteries 10 on the first transport section 310 from continuing to roll. After the batteries 10 on the first transport section 310 are emptied, the first blocking member 311 releases the batteries 10 on the first transport section 310 again and makes them roll into the first loading section 320 in sequence. The second blocking member 321 extends from the side wall of the first loading section 320 to prevent the batteries 10 on the first loading section 320 from continuing to roll backward. At the same time, the first loading platform 442, which is loaded with ten batteries 10, moves upward to rotate the first loading platform 442 located below to the corresponding connection in the first loading section 320, in preparation for the next loading of batteries 10.

[0045] According to some specific embodiments of the present invention, a third sensor is provided at the output end of the first loading section 320. The third sensor is used to detect whether there is a battery 10 on the loading platform corresponding to the output end of the first loading section 320, so as to control the second blocking member 321 to release and prevent the battery 10 on the first loading section 320 from entering the limiting component 440.

[0046] It should be noted that the batteries 10 in the second collection mechanism 500 will be recycled back to the first collection mechanism 400. When the first loading platform 442 corresponding to the first loading section 320 is connected, there may be a situation where ten batteries 10 are already filled. Therefore, by setting a third sensor at the output end of the first loading section 320, it is determined whether the first loading platform 442 corresponding to the first loading section 320 is filled. If the first loading platform 442 corresponding to the first loading section 320 is filled, the second blocking member 321 will continue to remain in a blocking state, thereby avoiding conflicts between processes and ensuring the stability of the production line.

[0047] According to some specific embodiments of the present invention, the second collection mechanism 500 includes: a housing 510, which is disposed on a frame 100; a plurality of first guide plates 520, which are inclinedly disposed in the housing 510 in a vertical direction; a plurality of second guide plates 530, which are inclinedly disposed in the housing 510 in a vertical direction, the plurality of first guide plates 520 and the plurality of second guide plates 530 being spaced apart in a vertical direction, the first guide plates 520, the second guide plates 530 and the housing 510 forming a guide channel 540, the input end of the guide channel 540 being correspondingly connected to the output end of the first collection mechanism 400; and a third guide plate 550, which is inclinedly disposed in the housing 510, the input end of the third guide plate 550 being correspondingly connected to the output end of the guide channel 540, and the output end of the third guide plate 550 being correspondingly connected to the second input end 420, the third guide plate 550 being used to guide the battery 10 in the guide channel 540 into the first collection mechanism 400. like Figure 3 As shown, multiple first guide plates 520, multiple second guide plates 530 and the housing 510 enclose and form a meandering guide channel 540. When the limiting component 440 supports the battery 10 and moves to the top, the overflowing battery 10 is output into the guide channel 540 and finally falls into the third guide plate 550. Under the action of the third guide plate 550, it returns to the first collection mechanism 400, realizing the closed loop of battery 10 cyclic transportation.

[0048] According to some specific embodiments of the present invention, the third guide plate 550 includes: a second transport section 551, the input end of the second transport section 551 being connected to the output end of the guide channel 540, the output end of the second transport section 551 being provided with a third blocking member 5511, the third blocking member 5511 being movably connected to the second transport section 551, and the third blocking member 5511 being used to prevent the battery 10 on the second transport section 551 from rolling; a second loading section 552, the input end of the second loading section 552 being connected to the output end of the second transport section 551, the input end of the guide channel 540 being provided with a fourth sensor, the fourth sensor being used to detect whether the battery 10 is loaded on the first loading platform 442 corresponding to the input end of the guide channel 540, the third blocking member 5511 being electrically connected to the fourth sensor, when the fourth sensor detects that the battery 10 is not loaded on the first loading platform 442 corresponding to the input end of the guide channel 540, the third blocking member 5511 releases the battery 10 on the second transport section 551 to roll into the second loading section 552.

[0049] like Figure 3As shown, the battery 10 is input from the guide channel 540 into the second transport section 551, and rolls into the second loading section 552 through the second transport section 551. The battery 10 stops when it rolls down and comes to rest against the third blocking member 5511. In this specific embodiment, when the fourth sensor detects that no battery 10 is loaded on the first loading platform 442 corresponding to the input end of the guide channel 540, the third blocking member 5511 retracts into the side wall of the second transport section 551. The ten batteries 10 on the second transport section 551 then enter the second loading section 552 in sequence until the battery 10 is reloaded on the first loading platform 442 corresponding to the input end of the guide channel 540. The third blocking member 5511 then extends out from the side wall of the second transport section 551 again to prevent the battery 10 in the second collection mechanism 500 from being input into the first collection mechanism 400.

[0050] It should be noted that the second loading section 552 forms the second loading platform 5521. The second loading platform 5521 and the multiple first loading platforms 442 are coaxially arranged in the vertical direction and correspond to each other. The width of the second loading section 552 is less than the distance between the two partitions 441. When the conveyor belt 431 drives the first loading platform 442 to rise, the corresponding first loading platform 442 will pass through the second loading platform 5521 and lift the battery 10 on the second loading platform 5521 upward, so that the battery 10 is separated from the second device platform.

[0051] It should be noted that the sorting channel 300, guide 4421 and the third guide plate have the same slope to ensure that the ten batteries 10 can roll at the same speed, maintaining the consistency of battery 10 circulation between the first collection mechanism 400 and the second collection mechanism 500.

[0052] According to some specific embodiments of the present invention, after the battery 10 passes the performance test, it is sorted into the corresponding sorting channel 300 by the feeding mechanism 200. The battery 10 rolls from the first transport section 310 into the first loading section 320 and stops when it comes into contact with the second blocking member 321. When the first sensor detects that there are ten batteries 10 on the first loading section 320, the first blocking member 311 prevents the batteries 10 on the first transport section 310 from rolling toward the first loading section 320. The second blocking member 321 releases the ten batteries 10 on the first loading section 320 and allows them to enter the first loading platform 442 corresponding to the output end of the first loading section 320 in sequence. Then, when the second sensor detects that the batteries 10 on the first loading section 320 are emptied, the second blocking member 321 extends out from the side wall of the first loading section 320, and the first blocking member 311 releases the batteries 10 on the first transport section 310 again and allows them to roll into the first loading section 320 in sequence. At the same time, the first loading platform 442 loaded with ten batteries 10 moves upward to rotate the first loading platform 442 located below to the corresponding connection of the first loading section 320, preparing for the next loading of batteries 10. When the first loading platform 442 carrying the battery 10 moves to the top, the overflowing battery 10 enters the guide channel 540 with the slope and falls into the third guide plate 550 through the guide channel 540. When the fourth sensor detects that there is no battery 10 on the first loading platform 442 connected to the input end of the guide channel 540, the third blocking member 5511 releases the ten batteries 10 on the second transport section 551 into the second loading section 552 in sequence.
