[0025] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the present invention is an automatic discharging device suitable for both round and waist drum-shaped electrode blocks, comprising a pushing device 1, a taking device 2, a re-weighing device 3, a packing device 4 and a stacking device 5.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the pushing device 1 is installed on the hydraulic press workbench, and the pushing device 1 includes a pushing cylinder 101, a pushing base 102 and a receiving frame 103. The pushing base 102 is installed at the output end of the pushing cylinder 101, and the receiving frame 103 is installed at one end of the pushing base 102 away from the pushing cylinder 101. The pushing device 1 completes pushing the electrode block to the material taking position.

[0027] like Figure 3As shown, the material picking device 2 is installed on the output side of the pushing device 1, and the material picking device 2 includes a grabbing claw 201, a claw guide frame 202, a lifting mechanism 203, a horizontal motion mechanism 204 and a base 205. Two guide rails 206 are arranged on the base 205. The horizontal motion mechanism 204 is installed on the guide rail 206. The slider of the horizontal motion mechanism 204 cooperates with the guide rail 206 to realize the horizontal movement of the entire material picking device 2 (power is provided by the motor, and the gear rack transmits the movement to the slider, thereby realizing horizontal movement on the guide rail 206). The lifting mechanism 203 is installed on the horizontal motion mechanism 204 (power is provided by the motor to drive the lead screw and each guide column to realize lifting). The claw guide frame 202 is installed at the bottom of the lifting mechanism 203. The grabbing claw 201 is retracted and retracted along the claw guide frame 202 to realize the clamping and placement of the electrode block. The grabbing claw 201 realizes the clamping movement by driving the gear rack through the cylinder. The material taking device 2 grabs the electrode block from the material taking position to the reweighing device 3 , and then grabs it from the reweighing device 3 to the packaging device 4 .

[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, the reweighing device 3 is installed below the material taking device 2, and the reweighing device 3 includes a reweighing plate 301, a weighing sensor 302 and a weighing base 303. The reweighing plate 301 is installed on the weighing base 303 through the weighing sensor 302. The reweighing device 3 completes the reweighing of the electrode block and transmits the value to the PLC for program use.

[0029] like Figure 5 As shown, the packaging device 4 is installed below the material taking device 2 and is located at the output side of the re-weighing device 3. The packaging device 4 includes a waist-drum-shaped electrode turntable mechanism, a transmission flip mechanism and an electrode assembly turntable mechanism which are arranged in sequence. The waist-drum-shaped electrode turntable mechanism includes a horizontal turntable 401, which is installed on a horizontal turntable base 402. The horizontal turntable 401 is driven to rotate by a motor, and a waist-drum-shaped electrode limit block 403 is arranged on the horizontal turntable 401; the transmission flip mechanism includes a base frame 404, on which a first flip frame 405 and a second flip frame 406 are installed. The first flip frame 404 05 and the second flip frame 406 are arranged adjacent to each other, and the sides of the adjacent parts of the first flip frame 405 and the second flip frame 406 are hinged to the base frame 404. A first transmission mechanism 407 is installed on the first flip frame 405, and a second transmission mechanism 408 is installed on the second flip frame 406. A waist-drum-shaped electric limit seat 413 is also arranged on the first flip frame 405, and the waist-drum-shaped electric limit seat 413 is located at the output end of the first transmission mechanism 407. The waist-drum-shaped electric limit seat 413 is driven by a cylinder to realize lifting; the second transmission mechanism 408 is located on the output side of the waist-drum-shaped electric limit seat 413.

[0030] Folding cylinders 409 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the first flip frame 405. The folding cylinders 409 are hinged to the first flip frame 405. The output end of the folding cylinder 409 is hinged to the side of the second flip frame 406. The second flip frame 406 is placed flat or folded with its hinged side as the axis through the telescopic drive of the folding cylinder 409. That is, when the output end of the folding cylinder 409 is extended, the first flip frame 405 and the second flip frame 406 are placed horizontally on the base frame 404. When the output end of the folding cylinder 409 is retracted, the second flip frame 406 moves upward under the action of tension with the side of the second flip frame 406 hinged to the base frame 404 as the axis until the second flip frame 406 is perpendicular to the first flip frame 405. A flip cylinder 410 is installed at the bottom of the base frame 404, and the flip cylinder 410 is hinged to the bottom of the base frame 404. The output end of the flip cylinder 410 is hinged to the bottom of the first flip frame 405. The first flip frame 405 is placed flat or flipped with its hinged side as the axis through the telescopic drive of the flip cylinder 410, that is, when the output end of the flip cylinder 410 contracts, the first flip frame 405 is placed horizontally on the base frame 404. When the output end of the folding cylinder 409 extends, the first flip frame 405 moves upward under the action of thrust with the side edge at which the first flip frame 405 and the base frame 404 are hinged as the axis until the first flip frame 405 is in a vertical state.

[0031] The first transmission mechanism 407 and the second transmission mechanism 408 both use conveying rollers for transmission.

[0032] The electrode assembly turntable mechanism includes an assembly turntable base 411 and an assembly turntable 412 installed on the assembly turntable base 411. The assembly turntable 412 is circular. The assembly turntable 412 driven to rotate by a motor assembles the waist drum-shaped electrode blocks and fan-shaped electrode blocks that have been transported and adjusted to prepare for the stacking action.

[0033] like Figure 6 As shown, the stacking device 5 is located at the output side of the packaging device 4, and the stacking device 5 includes a stacking frame 501 and a stacking pushing mechanism 502. The stacking pushing mechanism 502 is slidably installed on the stacking frame 501, and the stacking pushing mechanism 502 is lifted and lowered on the stacking frame 501 by a motor-driven transmission belt or a transmission chain. The stacking pushing mechanism 502 includes a double-row transmission roller, and the double-row transmission roller is used to realize the stacking and conveying of various electrode blocks after assembly.

[0034] Working process: The working process of assembling the sector-shaped electrode blocks into the circular electrode blocks is as follows: The receiving rack 103 of the present invention contracts to receive the fan-shaped electrode block from the mold. At this time, the fan-shaped electrode block remains in a horizontal and flat state in the mold. The pushing cylinder 101 drives the receiving rack 103 to extend and push the received fan-shaped electrode block to the material taking position; the grabbing claw 201 of the material taking device 2 grabs the fan-shaped electrode block at the material taking position to the reweighing device 3 for reweighing; the fan-shaped electrode block that passes the reweighing is directly grabbed by the grabbing claw 201 to the first transmission mechanism 407. Because the fan-shaped electrode block does not need to change its horizontal and flat state when it is assembled, the first transmission mechanism 407 and the second transmission mechanism 408 do not move, and the waist drum-shaped electrode limit seat 413 does not rise. At this time, the grabbing claw 201 clamps the fan-shaped electrode block and pushes the fan-shaped electrode block through the first transmission mechanism 407 and the second transmission mechanism 408, and places it on the assembly turntable 412 of the electrode assembly turntable mechanism. This design can reduce the load of the grabbing claw 201 and make the structure simple. The assembly turntable 412 rotates one station, waiting for the grabbing claw 201 to grab the next fan-shaped electrode block, until it is assembled into a circular electrode block and the material is discharged. At this time, the circular electrode block reaches the state required for stacking, and the stacking device 5 transports and stacks the circular electrode block to the next process.

[0035] The working process of discharging waist drum-shaped electrode blocks is as follows: The receiving rack 103 of the present invention contracts to receive the waist-drum-shaped electrode block from the mold. At this time, the waist-drum-shaped electrode block maintains a vertical state with an arc at the bottom in the mold. The pushing cylinder 101 drives the receiving rack 103 to extend, and pushes the received waist-drum-shaped electrode block to the material picking position; the grabbing claw 201 of the material picking device 2 grabs the waist-drum-shaped electrode block at the material picking position and takes it to the reweighing device 3 for reweighing; the waist-drum-shaped electrode block that passes the reweighing is grabbed by the grabbing claw 201 to the horizontal turntable 401 of the waist-drum-shaped electrode turntable mechanism, and rotated 90° after passing through the waist-drum-shaped electrode limit block 403, so that the waist-drum-shaped electrode block with its plane facing the right side of the conveying direction is rotated to a state with its plane facing the conveying direction, and then, the grabbing claw 201 grabs the rotated waist-drum-shaped electrode block to the waist-drum-shaped electrode limit seat On 413, since the waist-drum-shaped electrode block needs to be changed from a vertical state to a horizontal state when discharging the material, therefore, when the output end of the folding cylinder 409 contracts, the second flip frame 406, under the action of the pulling force, moves upward with the side of the second flip frame 406 and the base frame 404 hinged as the axis until the second flip frame 406 is perpendicular to the first flip frame 405; then the output end of the folding cylinder 409 extends out, and the first flip frame 405, under the action of the thrust, moves upward with the side of the first flip frame 405 and the base frame 404 hinged as the axis until the first flip frame 405 is in a vertical state and the second flip frame is in a horizontal state, and the waist-drum-shaped electrode block placed on the waist-drum-shaped electrode limit seat 413 is flipped with it and falls onto the second transmission mechanism 408 in a horizontal state with the flat surface facing downward. At this time, the grabbing claw 201 clamps the waist-drum-shaped electrode block, and pushes the waist-drum-shaped electrode block through the second transmission mechanism 408, and places it on the assembly turntable 412 of the electrode assembly turntable mechanism. This design can reduce the load of the grabbing claw 201 and make the structure simple. If the waist-drum-shaped electrode block does not need to be assembled, the assembly turntable 412 does not rotate, and directly enters the next process; if the waist-drum-shaped electrode block needs to be assembled, the assembly turntable 412 rotates 180°, waiting for the grabbing claw 201 to grab the next waist-drum-shaped electrode block, until the waist-drum-shaped electrode block is assembled and the discharge is completed. At this time, the waist-drum-shaped electrode block reaches the state required for stacking, and the stacking device 5 transports and stacks the waist-drum-shaped electrode block to the next process.

[0036] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above, but the contents are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and cannot be considered to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention.
