[0049] like Figure 1 and 2As shown, an integrated cleaning and sleeving machine includes a frame 1 and, mounted on the frame 1, a battery cell feeding device 3, a first indexing disc 4, a battery cell lead wire guiding device 5, a second indexing disc 6, a rubber stopper feeding device 7, a third indexing disc 8, an aluminum shell feeding device 9, a waist-sealing device 10, a flipping and conveying device 11, a fourth indexing disc 12, an ultrasonic cleaning device 13, a fifth indexing disc 14, a sleeving feeding device 15, a heat shrinking device 16, and a discharge device 17. The battery cell feeding device 3 is located near the first indexing disc 4 and drives the battery cells to be fed onto the first indexing disc 4. The battery cell lead wire guiding device 5 is located between the first indexing disc 4 and the second indexing disc 6 and guides the battery cell leads to be inserted into the rubber stoppers. The rubber stopper feeding device 7 is located near the second indexing disc and drives the rubber stoppers to be fed onto the second indexing disc. The aluminum shell feeding device 9... Approaching the third indexing disc 8, the aluminum shell feeding device 9 drives the aluminum shell to be fed onto the third indexing disc 8. The rubber stopper and the battery cell are pressed into the aluminum shell of the third indexing disc 8 to become semi-finished products. The waist-sealing device 10 approaches the third indexing disc 8 and performs waist-sealing on the semi-finished products. The flipping and conveying device 11 approaches the third indexing disc 8 and drives the semi-finished products to flip 180 degrees so that the lead wire is facing down. The semi-finished products are transferred to the fourth indexing disc 12. The fourth indexing disc 12 drives the semi-finished products to pass through the ultrasonic cleaning device 13. The ultrasonic cleaning device 13 cleans the semi-finished products. The cleaned semi-finished products enter the fifth indexing disc 14. The sleeve feeding device 15, the heat shrinking device 16, and the unloading device 17 approach the fifth indexing disc 14. The sleeve feeding device 15 drives the sleeve to put on the semi-finished products. The heat shrinking device 16 drives the sleeve to shrink. The unloading device 17 drives the finished products to be unloaded.

[0050] like Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the battery cell lead guiding device 5 includes a main body 51, guide rods 52, an upper lifting block 53, a lower lifting block 54, a left clamping plate 55, a right clamping plate 56, a tension spring 57, a left guide mold 58, a right guide mold 59, a rotating shaft 510, and a spreading block 511. Guide rods 52 are slidably installed on both sides inside the main body 51. The upper lifting block 53 is installed at the upper end of the guide rod 52, and the lower lifting block 54 is installed at the lower end. The left clamping plate 55 and the right clamping plate 56 are slidably installed above the upper lifting block 53. The left clamping plate 55 and the right clamping plate 56 are spaced apart. A left guide mold 58 is installed in front of plate 55, and a right guide mold 59 is installed in front of right clamping plate 56. A tension spring 57 drives the left clamping plate 55 and right clamping plate 56 to move closer together, thereby closing the left guide mold 58 and right guide mold 59. A rotating shaft 510 passes through the middle of the main body 51. A support block 511 is installed above the rotating shaft 510. The support block 511 is located between the left clamping plate 55 and right clamping plate 56. The rotating shaft 510 drives the support block 511 to rotate, causing the left clamping plate 55 and right clamping plate 56 to move away from each other, thereby separating the left guide mold 58 and right guide mold 59.

[0051] Specifically, a guide sleeve 512 is installed inside the main body 51, and the guide rod 52 is vertically inserted into the guide sleeve 512. There are 4 guide rods 52 located at the four corners of the main body 51, and the guide rods 52 can move up and down precisely.

[0052] like Figure 5 and 6 As shown, a slide rail 513 is fixedly installed above the lifting block 53. Multiple sliders 514 are slidably connected above the slide rail 513. A left clamping plate 55 is installed above the left slider 514, and a right clamping plate 56 is installed above the right slider 514. A first connecting rod 515 is installed above the rear of the left clamping plate 55, and a second connecting rod 516 is installed above the rear of the right clamping plate 56. One end of a tension spring 57 hooks onto the first connecting rod 515, and the other end hooks onto the second connecting rod 516. The bottom of the left clamping plate 55 is equipped with... Left bearing 517, right bearing 518 installed at the bottom of right clamping plate 56, expansion block 511 is larger in the middle and smaller at both ends. Expansion block 511 is in contact with left bearing 517 and right bearing 518. When the rotating shaft 510 drives expansion block 511 to rotate to the point where the left bearing 517 and right bearing 518 are spread apart at both ends, the left and right clamping plates also open. Limiting plate 519 is installed behind lifting block 53. Limiting head 520 is installed at the end of limiting plate 519. Limiting head 520 restricts left clamping plate 55 from moving out of position.

[0053] like Figure 7 As shown, the left guide mold 58 has a left inclined surface with a guide conical groove 581. The right guide mold has a right inclined surface 59 that matches the left inclined surface. The guide conical groove 581 has a large inner diameter at the lower end and a small inner diameter at the upper end to facilitate the insertion of the lead wire. The lower lifting block 54 is connected to the lifting power mechanism on the side via a first connecting rod 521. The lifting power mechanism can be a cylinder, a cam drive mechanism, or other mechanisms, as long as it drives the first connecting rod 521 to move upward. The bottom of the rotating shaft 510 passes through the lower lifting block 54 and is fitted with a rotating block 522. The rotating block 522 is connected to the rotating power mechanism via a second connecting rod 523. The rotating power mechanism can be a cylinder, a cam drive mechanism, or other mechanisms, as long as it drives the second connecting rod 523 to move back and forth, the second connecting rod 523 can swing the rotating block 522.

[0054] like Figure 8-13As shown, the aluminum shell feeding device 9 includes a vibratory feeder 91, a linear vibratory track 92, a linear vibrator 93, a swing plate 94, an aluminum shell transfer block 95, a limiting plate 96, a lower pressure rod 97, a mounting base 98, and a pressure rod drive mechanism 99. The vibratory feeder 91 drives the aluminum shells A into the linear vibratory track 92 in an orderly manner. The linear vibratory track 92 is installed above the linear vibrator 93. The aluminum shell transfer block 95 is installed at the end of the swing plate 94. The aluminum shell transfer block 95 is provided with an aluminum shell transfer groove 910 for individual aluminum shells to enter. The linear vibrator 93 and the mounting base 98 are installed on the worktable. The front end of the track 92 is connected to the aluminum shell transfer groove 910. The limiting plate 96 is provided with a discharge hole 911. The swing plate 94 swings to drive the aluminum shell transfer block 95 to transfer the aluminum shell A from the front end of the linear vibration track 92 to the discharge hole 911. Specifically, the aluminum shell at the front end of the linear vibration track enters the aluminum shell groove 910. When the swing plate 94 swings, the aluminum shell transfer block 95 swings the aluminum shell A to above the discharge hole 911. The limiting plate 96 is installed on the side of the mounting base 98. The pressure rod drive mechanism 99 drives the lower pressure rod 97 to descend so that the aluminum shell A passes through the discharge hole 911.

[0055] The limiting plate 96 is located below the front end of the moving aluminum shell block 95 and the straight vibration track 92. The feeding hole 911 is located on the side away from the front end of the straight vibration track 92. The bottom of the limiting plate 96 is rotatably mounted with a baffle plate 912 via a pin. A spring 913 drives one end of the baffle plate 912 to partially block the feeding hole 911, which helps prevent the aluminum shell from falling directly out when it reaches the feeding port. The upper end of the baffle plate 912 is inclined, and the baffle plate 912 is opened when the pressing rod 97 presses down on the aluminum shell during feeding. The pressing rod driving mechanism 99 includes a pressing rod mounting plate 991, a lifting seat 992, a connecting rod 993, and a power mechanism. The pressing rod 97 is mounted on one end of the pressing rod mounting plate 991, and the lifting seat 992 is mounted on the other end of the pressing rod mounting plate 991. The lifting seat 992 is slidably connected to the mounting seat 98 through the cooperation of a slider and a slide rail. The power mechanism drives the lifting seat 992 to move up and down through the connecting rod 993. The power mechanism can be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a motor cam mechanism, etc. Specifically, the lowering rod 97 descends to press the aluminum shell A out of the feeding hole and into the assembly fixture of the lower indexing disc. The rotation of the indexing disc changes the position of the aluminum shell to facilitate other processing steps such as installing battery cells and rubber plugs. In addition, the rotating shaft 915 is movably mounted in the center of the third indexing disc. A bushing is installed between the rotating shaft 915 and the indexing disc, so that the two can rotate independently without affecting each other. The rotating shaft 915 is connected to one end of the swing plate 94, and a reducer or cam mechanism is used to make the rotating shaft 915 rotate at a small angle.

[0056] like Figure 14-19As shown, the flipping and conveying device 11 includes a rotating disk 111, flipping mounting seats 112, flipping clamp mechanisms 113, a fixed shaft 114, and a fixed bevel gear disk 115. Multiple flipping mounting seats 112 are mounted above the rotating disk 111, arranged circumferentially around the central axis of the rotating disk 111. Each flipping mounting seat 112 houses one flipping clamp mechanism 113. There are six flipping mounting seats 112, corresponding to six flipping clamp mechanisms 113. The rotating disk 111 has a hollow structure and rotates... A fixed shaft 114 is installed inside the rotating disk 111. The outer diameter of the fixed shaft 114 is smaller than the inner diameter of the rotating disk 111. The rotation of the rotating disk 111 will not affect the fixed shaft. The rotating disk 111 can be driven to rotate by the divider. The upper end of the fixed shaft 114 passes through the rotating disk 111 and is connected to the fixed bevel gear disk 115. Each flipping clamp mechanism 113 has a bevel pinion 116 installed at its rear end. When the rotating disk 111 rotates, the bevel pinion 116 meshes with the fixed bevel gear disk 115 to flip the flipping clamp mechanism 113.

[0057] The flipping clamp mechanism 113 includes a flipping base 1131 and a clamp assembly 1132. The clamp assembly 1132 is installed in front of the flipping base 1131, and a flipping shaft 1133 is provided behind the flipping base 1131. The flipping shaft 1133 is rotatably mounted on a flipping mounting base 112. A bevel gear 116 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the flipping shaft 1133. In addition, two thrust ball bearings 1134 are fitted on the outer side of the flipping shaft 1133. One thrust ball bearing 1134 is located between the flipping base 1131 and the flipping clamp mechanism 1132. Between the rotating mounting base 112, another thrust ball bearing 1134 is located between the rotating mounting base 112 and the locking sleeve 1135, which is conducive to the stable installation of the rotating shaft 1133. When the rotating clamp mechanism 113 rotates 180 degrees around the central axis of the rotating disk 111, since the fixed bevel gear disk 115 does not move, the bevel pinion 116 will rotate 180 degrees during the rotation. The bevel pinion 116 drives the rotating shaft 1133 and the rotating base 1131 to rotate, so that product A is flipped and changed position.

[0058] The clamp assembly 32 includes a left clamp and a right clamp, which are hinged to a flip base. A spring 1136 is installed above the flip base 1131 to drive the left and right clamps to close. An opening clamp rod 1137 is movably mounted inside the flip shaft 1133. The rear end of the opening clamp rod 1137 extends from a bevel gear. The rear end of the opening clamp rod 1137 is mushroom-shaped. The front end of the opening clamp rod 1137 moves to drive the left and right clamps to open. The fixed shaft 114 is centrally fitted with a central rotating shaft 117. The outer diameter of the central rotating shaft 117 is smaller than the inner diameter of the fixed shaft 114. The rotation of the central rotating shaft 117 will not affect the fixed shaft 114. The upper end of the central rotating shaft 117 passes through the fixed bevel gear disk 115 and is then installed with an opening clamping turntable 118. Two opening clamping protrusions 119 are installed on the outer side of the opening clamping turntable 118. When the opening clamping turntable 118 rotates to the product clamping position, the opening clamping protrusions 119 push against the opening clamping top rod 1137 and move forward, thereby driving the left and right clamps to open.

[0059] like Figures 20-22 As shown, the sleeve feeding device 15 includes a fixed base 151, a base plate 152, a motor base 153, a motor 154, a first transmission gear set, a first feeding wheel 156, a second feeding wheel 157, a second transmission gear set, a hinged base 159, a movable block 1510, and a spring 1511. The base plate 152 is installed in front of the fixed base 151, the motor base 153 is installed below the base plate 152, and the motor 154 is installed behind the motor base 153. The motor 154 drives the first feeding wheel to rotate through the first transmission gear set, and the first feeding wheel 156 drives the second feeding wheel 157 to rotate synchronously through the second transmission gear set. The sleeve 1512 is fed from the first... A feeding wheel 156 passes between a feeding wheel 156 and a second feeding wheel 157. The second feeding wheel 157 is rotatably mounted on a movable block 1510. A hinge seat 159 is installed below the base plate 152. The movable block 1510 is rotatably connected to the hinge seat 159 via a pivot 1512a. One end of a spring 1511 abuts against the movable block 1510 and the other end abuts against the hinge seat 159. The spring 1511 drives the movable block 1510 to rotate counterclockwise, causing the second feeding wheel 157 to approach the first feeding wheel 156. Consequently, the second feeding wheel 157 contacts the sleeve 1512. When the first feeding wheel 156 and the second feeding wheel 157 rotate, they will rub against each other, driving the sleeve 1512 to move.

[0060] Specifically, the first transmission gear set includes a first bevel gear 1551 and a second bevel gear 1552. The first bevel gear 1551 is mounted on the motor output shaft, and the first bevel gear 1551 meshes with the second bevel gear 1552. The second bevel gear is mounted on the rear end of the first feed wheel 156. The second transmission gear set includes a first circular gear 1581 and a second circular gear 1582. The first circular gear 1581 is mounted on the front end of the first feed wheel 156, and the second circular gear 1582 is mounted on the front end of the second feed wheel 157. When the second feed wheel 157 approaches the first feed wheel 156, the second circular gear 1582 meshes with the first circular gear 1581 under the elastic action of the spring. When the old sleeve is finished being fed and a new sleeve needs to be replaced, the movable block 1510 can be rotated clockwise to move the two feed wheels away from the new sleeve for easier insertion. The sleeve feeding mechanism also includes a needle sleeve 1513 and a needle 1514. The needle sleeve 1513 is installed in the base plate 152, and the needle 1514 is installed in the needle sleeve 1513. The needle 1514 is located above the first feeding wheel 156 and the second feeding wheel 157. The lower end of the needle 1514 is conical to facilitate the opening of the sleeve, which is beneficial for the subsequent fitting of the outer shell. The sleeve feeding mechanism also includes a left guide plate 1515 and a right guide plate 1516 installed in front of the motor base 153. The left guide plate 1515 and the right guide plate 1516 are located below the first feeding wheel 156 and the second feeding wheel 157, guiding the sleeve to the upper feeding wheel and the needle.
