Cap feeding structure for lithium battery processing

Abstract

The present invention provides a capping feeding structure for lithium battery processing, which relates to the technical field of capping feeding for lithium battery processing. The motor A installed at the front end of the base is connected to the driving roller, and conveyor belts are also installed on the outer sides of the two driving rollers. The driving roller, the motor A, and the conveyor belt together constitute a conveying structure, solving the problem that when the capping is being fed, due to the lack of effective automatic screening operation, manual adjustment of the front and back sides of the capping is required during feeding. Manual intervention for turning over the upper and lower ends of the capping during the conveying process will affect the normal feeding efficiency of the battery capping, and further affect the normal installation of the subsequent capping and the lithium battery. By using the ejection action of the telescopic rod, the capping is automatically ejected into the recycling box for recycling. This design can achieve more convenient sorting instead of manual labor, and thus achieve a more practical purpose.

[0033] During use: First, when feeding the cap during the lithium battery processing, the cap to be assembled can be pre-placed inside the conveyor belt 5 arranged in the base 1. When the cap is placed above the conveyor belt 5, since three limiting belts 6 are fixedly connected in a linear array on the outer side surface of the conveyor belt 5, when the cap is placed on the outer side of the conveyor belt 5, the motor A3 installed at the front end of the longitudinal member at the front end of the base 1 can be started synchronously to drive the current driving roller 4 to rotate.

[0034] Embodiment 2:

[0035] Based on the cap feeding structure for lithium battery processing provided in the first embodiment, it can realize the automatic conveyance operation of the cap, but still cannot realize the abnormal recovery of the cap. Therefore, the following technical solutions are further provided.

[0036] Among them, a bracket 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom end surface of the base 1. The main body of the bracket 2 is a frame structure, and there are two brackets 2 in total. The two brackets 2 are fixedly connected in a linear array on the left and right sides of the bottom end surface of the base 1. The base 1 and the bracket 2 together form a support structure.

The three limiting belts 6 are fixedly connected in a linear array on the outer side surface of the conveyor belt 5. The conveyor belt 5 and the limiting belt 6 together form a conveying structure, and the limiting belt 6 is used to divide the surface space of the conveyor belt 5.

[0037] During use, after the suction cup A17 comes into contact with the cap located on the conveyor belt 5, the pump 9 installed on the front end face of the mounting plate A7 is started synchronously to evacuate the air using the suction cup A17. When the suction cup A17 evacuates the air, the cap located on the conveyor belt 5 can be adsorbed synchronously. After the adsorption is completed, the telescopic rod 16 provided between the guide rod 14 and the suction cup A17 is squeezed synchronously. When the telescopic rod 16 is squeezed, the electromagnetic ring 15 provided outside the guide rod 14 can be energized synchronously, and the current telescopic rod 16 is adsorbed and limited by the magnetism generated by the energization of the electromagnetic ring 15. Then, the suction cup A17 and the cap are turned upwards to the lower side of the identification component 11 by the drive of the motor B12, and the identification component 11 is used to detect the front and back of the current cap and whether there is an abnormality. If it is detected that there is an abnormal cap, the motor B12 can be started synchronously to drive the guide roller 13 to turn to the left, and the electromagnetic ring 15 outside the guide rod 14 at the abnormal position is powered off synchronously, and the cap adsorbed in the suction cup A17 is quickly pushed into the inside of the recycling box 8 for recycling operation by the spring-out of the telescopic rod 16 realized by the power-off of the electromagnetic ring 15.

[0038] Embodiment 3:

[0039] Based on the cap feeding structure for lithium battery processing provided in the second embodiment, it can realize the abnormal recycling of caps, but still cannot realize the sorting and turning of caps. Therefore, the following technical solutions are further provided.

[0040] Among them, the top end face of the longitudinal member in the base 1 is fixedly connected with a mounting plate A7.
