Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of battery packing technology, and in particular relates to a side-flipping packing mechanism for storing batteries. Background Technology

[0002] Lead-acid batteries consist of alternating positive and negative plates stacked inside a battery box, separated by insulating partitions. Due to their low cost, reliable quality, wide capacity range, easy maintenance, and long service life, they are widely used in important sectors of the national economy. To prevent mechanical damage or accidental damage from collisions during transportation, handling, and stacking, batteries need to be placed in packaging boxes after assembly. Effective and safe packaging is crucial for batteries; battery packing machines are devices used for semi-automatic or automatic loading of batteries into packaging boxes.

[0003] Currently, most battery packing machines use a method of gripping the battery and then vertically inserting it into a sealed corrugated cardboard box; some also use a side-loading method. Side-loading significantly reduces the gripping force or requirements, thus avoiding the safety hazards of gripping errors and the impact of gravity during short-distance drop in the packing process. Existing side-loading machines require distributing the side-loading process across multiple production lines for separate operations, thereby reducing the complexity of packing and addressing issues of convenience and efficiency.

[0004] In view of the aforementioned problems of complex and cumbersome packing, as well as low convenience and efficiency, this invention designs a battery flipping and stacking mechanism for a battery packing production line. Summary of the Invention
