Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of manufacturing equipment for winding button cells with cut-out irregular electrode sheets, and particularly to a button-type swing arm feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Battery electrodes are an important component of batteries, commonly used in lithium-ion batteries and other types of batteries. They are the core components inside the battery, responsible for the storage and release of electrical energy. During battery manufacturing, handling equipment is usually required to move the electrodes. Existing handling and adsorption methods mostly involve cylinders connected to suction cups for adsorption. The cylinders rotate and are mechanically limited, and then a lead screw is used to feed the electrodes. During the feeding process, the suction cups lift the front part, and the lead screw drives the suction cup mechanism, leaving the rear part suspended and tractionless. This results in low cell precision during winding, electrode powder shedding, and electrode deviation during traction.

[0003] In the prior art, for example, utility model patent CN212374404U discloses a swing-type material dispensing robotic arm, including a swing mechanism mounted on a mounting base, a rotating mechanism mounted on the swing mechanism, and a suction cup assembly mounted on the rotating mechanism. The swing mechanism controls the left and right swing of the rotating mechanism, the rotating mechanism controls the rotation of the suction cup assembly, and the suction cup assembly is used to pick up the electrode sheet. However, although this technology improves some of the original problems, there are still aspects that need further optimization to better meet actual testing needs.

[0004] 1. Although the above-mentioned prior art can pick up the electrode sheet by suction cup, its suction cup can only pick up ordinary electrode sheets with regular outer shape and rectangular shape. However, the outer shape of irregular electrode sheets is usually irregular, such as circular, elliptical or polygonal. The above-mentioned suction cup is rectangular. Therefore, when picking up irregular electrode sheets, the end face of the irregular electrode sheet cannot completely cover the suction end of the suction cup. As the electrode sheet moves with the suction cup, the suction force of the suction cup is unstable due to leakage. This causes part of the electrode sheet to detach from the suction cup and eventually the electrode sheet to fall off.

[0005] 2. When the electrode is transported and adsorbed, the dust on its surface usually needs to be cleaned to ensure that the electrode surface is clean. However, the above-mentioned existing technology cannot clean the dust on the electrode surface, and it cannot prevent dust from falling onto the electrode surface during adsorption and transport. In addition, during the transport process, when the above-mentioned suction cup adsorbs the electrode, it directly adsorbs the electrode by the suction force of the suction cup. If the height difference of some areas of the electrode is inconsistent, it will cause the electrode to shake when it is adsorbed by the suction cup, causing the powder on the electrode to fall off the electrode during the shaking.

[0006] Therefore, based on the above-stated viewpoints, there is still room for improvement in existing electrode adsorption and handling equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The swing plate is equipped with an adsorption unit for adsorbing the electrode.

[0010] Furthermore, the swing mechanism is used to drive the adsorption unit to adjust its angle.

[0011] Preferably, the swing mechanism further includes a swing motor mounted on one side of the girder via a motor mount, the main shaft of the swing motor passing through the outer wall of the corresponding girder and connected to one end of the rotating shaft.

[0012] Preferably, the adsorption unit includes a limiting plate disposed on the inner side wall of the swing plate, a horizontal plate slidably passing through the limiting plate, and several mounting grooves distributed along its extension section on the horizontal plate, wherein an adsorption component for adsorbing gas on the surface of the electrode is installed in the mounting groove.

[0013] Preferably, several adjusting shafts are rotatably provided on one side of the horizontal plate, and the adjusting shafts slide together through the first and second sliding plates. The first and second sliding plates are also provided with mounting grooves for installing the adsorption components.

[0014] Preferably, the adsorption assembly includes a main cylinder, several main cylinders are respectively located in corresponding mounting slots, and the outer side of the main cylinder is symmetrically threaded with fixing bolts, and two fixing bolts are respectively tightly attached to the upper and lower sides of the corresponding horizontal plate, the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate.

[0015] Preferably, a telescopic sleeve is provided through the lower end of the main cylinder, and a suction cup is provided through the lower end of the telescopic sleeve.

[0016] Preferably, the adjusting shaft is provided with an adjusting component for adjusting and limiting the distance between the first and second printing plates. The adjusting component includes a threaded groove 1 and a threaded groove 2 respectively opened on the two adjusting shafts, and the first and second printing plates are threadedly connected to the threaded groove 1 and the threaded groove 2 respectively.

[0017] Preferably, friction plates are provided on the side of the two adjusting shafts away from the second sliding plate, and the two friction plates correspond to the first threaded groove and the second threaded groove, respectively.

[0018] Preferably, the support plate is provided with a transverse moving assembly for driving the adsorption unit to move laterally. The transverse moving assembly includes a transverse moving screw rotatably disposed on one side of the support plate, and one side of the transverse moving screw passes through the sliding plate and is threadedly connected to it.

[0019] Preferably, a transverse motor is mounted on one side of the support plate via a motor mount, and the main shaft of the transverse motor passes through the outer wall of the support plate and is connected to the outer side of the transverse lead screw via a belt drive.

[0020] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0021] I. According to the actual size of the electrode sheet, the main cylinder can be installed and fixed in the corresponding mounting groove by fixing bolts. Then, the spacing of the horizontal plate, the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate can be adjusted by adjusting the component, so that the adsorption component can more accurately adsorb the surface of the electrode sheet, and can also adsorb and transport irregularly shaped electrode sheets.

[0022] II. In this invention, the lateral movement motor in the lateral movement assembly indirectly drives the swing mechanism and the adsorption unit to move laterally, so that the adsorption unit can correspond to the upper end of the electrode. At this time, the drive unit drives the ultrasonic cleaning unit to clean the dust on the electrode. After the dust on the electrode is cleaned, the drive unit drives the ultrasonic cleaning unit to retract. Then, the drive unit drives the adsorption unit to descend. The adsorption unit adsorbs the electrode through the adsorption assembly. During the adsorption process, the telescopic sleeve can adaptively extend and retract, so that all the suction cups can be attached to the surface of the electrode.

[0023] Third, the present invention indirectly drives the swing mechanism and the adsorption unit to move to the discharge point through the transverse component. At this time, the adsorption unit drives the swing plate to swing along its axis, so that the inclination of the adsorption unit corresponds to the angle of the discharge point, thereby enabling the adsorption component to place the electrode sheet on the placement point with a certain inclination, which further improves the applicability of the present invention.

Detailed Implementation

[0040] The following combination Figures 1 to 14 The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below.

[0041] This application discloses a buckle-type swing arm feeding mechanism. It is described that this application is mainly used in the process of transporting battery electrode sheets. Technically, it can simultaneously adsorb the end face of the electrode sheet through multiple suction cups, preventing the electrode sheet from tilting to one side during transport. In particular, this application is compatible with both irregularly shaped and conventional electrode sheets. The cantilevered electrode sheet transport structure is more stable and has higher transport efficiency than the traction-type transport structure. The angle can be quickly adjusted for even higher efficiency. It also avoids secondary contact with other mechanisms or electrode sheets, resulting in better dust control, higher cleanliness, and higher precision.

[0042] Example 1: Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a support plate 11, a guide rail 12, a sliding plate 13, a swing mechanism 2, a U-shaped frame 20, a rotating shaft 21, a swing plate 22, an adsorption unit 3, and a swing motor 23. The support plate 11 is symmetrically provided with guide rails 12 on one side. Sliding plates 13 with an L-shaped cross section are slidably arranged between the guide rails 12. The swing mechanism 2 is provided on one side of the sliding plate 13. The guide rails 12 are used to limit and guide the sliding plate 13. When the sliding plate 13 is driven by an external force, it can reciprocate under the limit of the guide rails 12, and drive the swing mechanism 2 to move synchronously during the movement, so as to change the orientation of the swing mechanism 2.

[0043] The swing mechanism 2 includes a U-shaped frame 20 with a U-shaped cross section disposed on one side of the sliding plate 13. A rotating shaft 21 is rotatably disposed on the inner side wall of the U-shaped frame 20, and a swing plate 22 is sleeved on the outer side of the rotating shaft 21. That is, the sliding plate 13 can synchronously drive the U-shaped frame 20 to move. When the rotating shaft 21 is driven by an external force, it can drive the swing plate 22 on its outer side to swing along its axis.

[0044] The swing plate 22 is provided with an adsorption unit 3 for adsorbing the electrode sheet, and the swing mechanism 2 is used to drive the adsorption unit 3 to adjust the angle, so that the adsorption unit 3 can place the adsorbed electrode sheet stably in the receiving device at any angle.

[0045] The swing mechanism 2 also includes a swing motor 23 mounted on one side of the girder 20 via a motor base. The main shaft of the swing motor 23 passes through the outer wall of the corresponding girder 20 and is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 21. In other words, the swing motor 23 can drive the rotating shaft 21 to rotate synchronously.

[0046] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, this is the adsorption unit 3 used to adsorb gas from the electrode. Specifically, the adsorption unit 3 includes a limiting plate 30, a horizontal plate 31, a mounting groove 32, an adsorption assembly 4, an adjusting shaft 33, a first mounting plate 34, and a second mounting plate 35. The limiting plate 30 is disposed on the inner side wall of the swing plate 22. The horizontal plate 31 slides through the limiting plate 30. Several mounting grooves 32 are provided on the horizontal plate 31 and distributed along its extension. The adsorption assembly 4 for adsorbing gas from the end of the electrode is installed in the mounting groove 32. That is, the limiting plate 30 can limit and guide the horizontal plate 31, so that the horizontal plate 31 can move up and down when driven by an external force. During the movement, the adsorption assembly 4 moves synchronously. Therefore, when the adsorption assembly 4 corresponds to the electrode, the horizontal plate 31 drives the adsorption assembly 4 to contact the electrode, and then the electrode is adsorbed on the adsorption assembly 4.

[0047] Several adjusting shafts 33 are rotatably arranged on one side of the horizontal plate 31. The adjusting shafts 33 slide together to form a first plate 34 and a second plate 35. The first plate 34 and the second plate 35 are also provided with mounting slots 32 for installing the adsorption components 4. That is, the adjusting shafts 33 can support and limit the first plate 34 and the second plate 35. In actual use, when facing electrode sheets of different sizes and irregularly shaped electrode sheets, the adsorption components 4 are installed in the corresponding mounting slots 32 according to actual needs. Then, the first plate 34 and the second plate 35 are driven to slide on the adjusting shafts 33 for precise adjustment. This allows multiple adsorption components 4 to accurately adsorb the left and right positions, front and back positions, and center positions of the electrode sheets, preventing the electrode sheets from tilting due to some areas not being adsorbed during transportation.

[0048] Continue to refer to Figure 5 As shown, this is the adsorption assembly 4 used for gas adsorption on the surface of the electrode. Specifically, the adsorption assembly 4 includes a main cylinder 40, fixing bolts 41, a telescopic sleeve 42, and a suction cup 43. Several main cylinders 40 are located in corresponding mounting slots 32, and fixing bolts 41 are symmetrically threaded on the outer side of the main cylinder 40. Two fixing bolts 41 are tightly attached to the upper and lower sides of the corresponding horizontal plate 31, the first mounting plate 34, and the second mounting plate 35, respectively. That is, the main cylinder 40 is fixed in the mounting slot 32 by fixing bolts 41. When disassembling, the fixing bolts 41 are turned by the handle. At this time, the fixing bolts 41 move on the outer wall of the main cylinder 40 and are no longer tightly attached to the upper and lower sides of the horizontal plate 31, the first mounting plate 34, and the second mounting plate 35 until they are unscrewed from the main cylinder 40. At this time, the main cylinder 40 can be taken out from the mounting slot 32.

[0049] A telescopic sleeve 42 is provided through the lower end of the main cylinder 40, and a suction cup 43 is provided through the lower end of the telescopic sleeve 42. In actual use, the external cylinder is connected to the air port on the outside of the main cylinder 40. When the telescopic sleeve 42 drives the suction cup 43 to contact the outside of the electrode, the external cylinder draws air through the main cylinder 40, the telescopic sleeve 42 and the suction cup 43. The end face of the electrode is adsorbed on the suction cup 43, so that the horizontal plate 31, the first sliding plate 34 and the second sliding plate 35 can indirectly move the electrode.

[0050] It should be noted that the telescopic sleeve 42 is a telescopic structure with a push spring installed inside. After the corresponding suction cup 43 has made contact with the end face of the electrode, if some suction cups 43 have not yet made contact with the end face of the electrode due to accuracy or other reasons, the horizontal plate 31, the first sliding plate 34, and the second sliding plate 35 will continue to drive all suction cups 43 to descend, so that the remaining suction cups 43 can make contact with the surface of the electrode. At this time, the telescopic ends of some telescopic sleeves 42 will retract, so that the horizontal plate 31, the first sliding plate 34, and the second sliding plate 35 can continue to descend. Then, the horizontal plate 31, the first sliding plate 34, and the second sliding plate 35 drive the corresponding suction cups 43 to rise, thereby driving the electrode to be transported.

[0051] Continue to refer to Figure 6 As shown, the adjusting shaft 33 is provided with an adjusting component 5 for adjusting and limiting the distance between the first sliding plate 34 and the second sliding plate 35; specifically, the adjusting component 5 includes a first threaded groove 50, a second threaded groove 51 and a friction plate 52. The first threaded groove 50 and the second threaded groove 51 are respectively opened on the outside of the two adjusting shafts 33, and the first sliding plate 34 and the second sliding plate 35 are threadedly connected to the first threaded groove 50 and the second threaded groove 51 respectively, that is, the first sliding plate 34 is threadedly connected to the first threaded groove 50, and the second sliding plate 35 is slidably connected to the first threaded groove 50.

[0052] The second mounting plate 35 is threadedly connected to the second threaded groove 51, and the first mounting plate 34 is slidably connected to the second threaded groove 51.

[0053] During use, an external force drives the adjustment shaft 33, which has a threaded groove 50 on its outer side, to rotate. This causes the first printing plate 34 to move back and forth under the limiting guidance of the other adjustment shafts 33. Similarly, it drives the adjustment shaft 33, which has a threaded groove 51 on its outer side, to rotate, so that the second printing plate 35 can also move independently. This allows for precise adjustment of the distance between the first printing plate 34 and the second printing plate 35 to accommodate electrode sheets of different specifications.

[0054] Friction plates 52 are provided on the side of the two adjusting shafts 33 away from the second sliding plate 35, and the two friction plates 52 correspond to the first thread groove 50 and the second thread groove 51 respectively. That is, by holding the friction plate 52, the corresponding adjusting shaft 33 can be rotated through the friction plate 52.

[0055] Continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the support plate 11 is provided with a transverse moving component 6 for driving the adsorption unit 3 to move laterally; specifically, the transverse moving component 6 includes a transverse moving screw 60 and a transverse moving motor 61. The transverse moving screw 60 is rotatably disposed on one side of the support plate 11, and one side of the transverse moving screw 60 passes through the sliding plate 13 and is threadedly connected to it. That is, when the transverse moving screw 60 rotates, it can drive the sliding plate 13 to move along the extension of the guide rail 12, indirectly driving the electrode adsorbed by the adsorption component 4 to move laterally.

[0056] A transverse motor 61 is mounted on one side of the support plate 11 via a motor mount. The main shaft of the transverse motor 61 passes through the outer wall of the support plate 11 and is connected to the outer side of the transverse lead screw 60 via a belt drive. The transverse motor 61 drives the transverse lead screw 60 to rotate via the belt drive.

[0057] Example 2: Refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, based on Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, in order to remove dust from the electrode sheet before handling, extension plates 70 are symmetrically arranged on the swing plate 22, and connecting plates 71 are slidably arranged between the extension plates 70. An ultrasonic cleaning unit 7 for removing dust from the electrode sheet is provided on the connecting plate 71. Specifically, the ultrasonic cleaning unit 7 includes extension plates 70, connecting plates 71, cleaning screw 72, circular plate 73, arc frame plate 74, ultrasonic dust removal device 75, extension rod 76, contact plate 77, and clearance groove 78. The cleaning screw 72 is rotatably inserted into the connecting plate 71. The circular plate 73 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the cleaning screw 72. An arc frame plate 74 is provided on the lower side of the connecting plate 71, and one side of the circular plate 73 extends to the inner side of the arc frame plate 74 and slides with it in a keyway. That is, when the cleaning screw 72 is driven to rotate by an external force, it can drive the circular plate 73 to move up and down under the limiting guidance of the arc frame plate 74.

[0058] An ultrasonic dust removal device 75 is provided on the outer side of the circular plate 73. An extension rod 76 is provided at the lower end of the ultrasonic dust removal device 75. A contact plate 77 is provided at the end of the extension rod 76. A clearance groove 78 is provided on the contact plate 77 to avoid the cleaning screw 72. The circular plate 73 can drive the ultrasonic dust removal device 75 to move synchronously. The ultrasonic dust removal device 75 drives the contact plate 77 to move synchronously through the extension rod 76. The clearance groove 78 is used to prevent the cleaning screw 72 from colliding with the contact plate 77. When the contact plate 77 contacts the end of the electrode, the mechanical vibration generated by the ultrasonic transducer is transmitted to the surface of the electrode through the contact plate 77. The high-frequency vibration will destroy the adhesion between the dust particles and the electrode, causing them to fall off the surface of the electrode. Then, the external cylinder delivers air into the main cylinder 40, and the air blows away the dust.

[0059] In other words, during use, the cleaning screw 72 indirectly drives the contact plate 77 to move downward, so that the contact plate 77 comes into contact with the surface of the electrode, causing the dust on the electrode to vibrate and detach from the electrode. Then, the suction cup 43 blows air to remove the dust from the surface of the electrode. After cleaning, the cleaning screw 72 indirectly drives the contact plate 77 to retract. At this time, the horizontal plate 31, the first sliding plate 34 and the second sliding plate 35 indirectly drive the adsorption assembly 4 to adsorb and transport the electrode.

[0060] It should be noted that the "ultrasonic dust removal device 75" in the above implementation process is an existing device, and its function in this application is to generate mechanical vibration to cause dust on the surface of the electrode to fall off, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0061] Example 3: Refer to Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, based on Embodiment 2, in order to drive the adsorption unit 3 and the ultrasonic cleaning unit 7 to move in the up and down direction, a driving unit 8 is provided on the connecting plate 71. Specifically, the driving unit 8 includes a lifting screw 80, an L-shaped plate 81, a ratchet 82, and a driving shaft 83. The lifting screw 80 is rotatably disposed on one side of the connecting plate 71, and an L-shaped plate 81 is disposed on the side corresponding to the second support plate. The end of the lifting screw 80 is threadedly connected to the L-shaped plate 81. When the lifting screw 80 is driven by an external force, it can drive the corresponding second support plate 35 to move in the up and down direction through the L-shaped plate 81, thereby causing the horizontal plate 31 and the first support plate 34 to move synchronously, and thus enabling the adsorption assembly 4 to move.

[0062] Furthermore, since the second extension plate 35 will move, when it moves, the L-shaped plate 81 will drive the connecting plate 71 to move synchronously on the extension plate 70 via the lifting screw 80.

[0063] Both the lifting screw 80 and the cleaning screw 72 are fitted with ratchet teeth 82 on one side of the connecting plate 71, and the rotation of the two ratchet teeth 82 is driven in opposite directions. A drive shaft 83 is rotatably mounted on the connecting plate 71. Both ratchet teeth 82 are connected to the drive shaft 83 by belt drive. The ratchet teeth 82 can drive the corresponding cleaning screw 72 and lifting screw 80 to rotate, and the rotation of the cleaning screw 72 and lifting screw 80 is in opposite directions. Both the cleaning screw 72 and the lifting screw 80 have two spiral grooves on their outer sides, which can drive the corresponding circular plate 73 and L-shaped plate 81 to reciprocate.

[0064] The drive shaft 83 is connected to an external drive motor. The drive shaft 83 is driven to rotate the corresponding ratchet 82 via belt transmission. Due to the unidirectional driving characteristic of the ratchet 82, the drive shaft 83 can only drive the cleaning screw 72 or the lifting screw 80 to rotate in one direction. Therefore, by controlling the rotation direction of the drive shaft 83, the cleaning screw 72 or the lifting screw 80 can be driven to rotate independently.

[0065] Example 4: Based on Examples 1, 2, and 3, and referring to... Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the surface of the electrode may be bent before adsorption, and the suction port of the suction cup 43 is in a vertical plane. Therefore, when the suction cup 43 adsorbs the electrode, there is an angle difference between the suction port of the suction cup 43 and the surface of the electrode, which makes it impossible for the suction cup 43 to fully adhere to the surface of the electrode and fully adsorb the electrode, causing the electrode to fall off. Therefore, under the above view, a swing component is provided between the suction cup 43 and the telescopic sleeve 42. Specifically, the swing component includes a swing ball 9 and a through groove 90. The swing ball 9 is provided between the suction cup 43 and the corresponding telescopic sleeve 42, and the swing ball 9 and the telescopic sleeve 42 are rotatably connected. The swing ball 9 has through grooves 90 on both sides that are respectively connected to the inside of the suction cup 43 and the telescopic sleeve 42.

[0066] That is, the gas can be drawn by the external cylinder through the suction cup 43, the through groove 90, and the telescopic sleeve 42. Therefore, when the suction cup 43 falls to adsorb the electrode, if the corresponding electrode area is bent, the swing ball 9 will be driven by the external force to drive the suction cup 43 to swing along its axis, so that the end of the suction cup 43 swings to correspond to the inclined surface of the electrode. At this time, the end of the suction cup 43 can fully adhere to the outside of the electrode, thereby adsorbing the electrode.

[0067] Furthermore, when the suction cup 43 is suctioning stacked electrode sheets, if multiple electrode sheets are stuck together, the suction cup 43 will pick up multiple sheets at once. Therefore, the suction cup 43 first suctions horizontally and then swings to make the stuck electrode sheets fall off, thus achieving the suction of a single electrode sheet.

[0068] Reference Figure 13 As shown, a swing unit for driving the swing ball 9 to swing is also provided on the telescopic sleeve 42. Specifically, the swing unit includes a driven shaft 91, a linkage shaft 92, a spring rod 93, a rectangular plate 94 and a push spring rod 95. The driven shaft 91 is rotatably inserted to one side of the telescopic sleeve 42, and one end of the driven shaft 91 is connected to the swing ball 9. That is, when the swing ball 9 is driven by an external force, it can drive the swing ball 9 to rotate, thereby realizing the swing effect of the suction cup 43.

[0069] The fixed end of the telescopic sleeve 42 is rotatably inserted with a linkage shaft 92, and a spring rod 93 is provided between the two horizontally corresponding linkage shafts 92. The horizontal direction refers to the linkage shafts 92 on the telescopic sleeve 42 corresponding to the horizontal plate 31, the first printing plate 34 and the second printing plate 35. The linkage shafts 92 achieve synchronous rotation through the spring rod 93. Furthermore, the spring rod 93 will adaptively extend and retract when the distance between the horizontal plate 31, the first printing plate 34 and the second printing plate 35 changes, so as to avoid interference in the adjustment of the distance between the horizontal plate 31, the first printing plate 34 and the second printing plate 35.

[0070] A rectangular plate 94 is provided on the outer side of the sliding end of the telescopic sleeve 42. A push spring rod 95 is rotatably passed through the rectangular plate 94. The fixed end of the push spring rod 95 is rotatably connected to the rectangular plate 94. One side of the fixed end of the push spring rod 95 extends to the upper end of the corresponding driven shaft 91 and is connected to the driven shaft 91 by bevel gear transmission. The telescopic end of the push spring rod 95 extends to the lower side of the linkage shaft 92 and is connected to the linkage shaft 92 by bevel gear transmission.

[0071] As can be seen from the above, the linkage shaft 92 on one side can be driven to rotate by external force, and when rotating, it drives the push spring rod 95 to rotate synchronously through bevel gear transmission. The push spring rod 95 can drive the driven shaft 91 to rotate through bevel gear transmission, so that the driven shaft 91 can drive the swing ball 9 to swing.

[0072] Furthermore, when the suction cup 43 performs adsorption, the telescopic ends of each telescopic sleeve 42 will extend and retract. Therefore, the telescopic end of the push spring rod 95 will extend and retract synchronously with the telescopic sleeve 42, and through its telescopic end, it will push the corresponding bevel gear to always mesh with the bevel gear on the outside of the linkage shaft 92. Thus, when the distance between the horizontal plate 31, the first printing plate 34 and the second printing plate 35 is adjusted, the linkage shaft 92 can still rotate together through the adaptive extension and retraction of the spring rod 93. When the height of the fixed end of the telescopic sleeve 42 moves up and down, the push spring rod 95 can extend and retract synchronously, so that the linkage shaft 92 can always drive the driven shaft 91 to rotate through the push spring rod 95.

[0073] Reference Figure 14As shown, an annular plate 96 is provided on the inner wall of the telescopic end of the telescopic sleeve 42. A reset spring 97 is provided between the annular plate 96 and the fixed end of the telescopic sleeve 42. After the telescopic end of the telescopic sleeve 42 drives the suction cup 43 to contact the electrode, if the fixed end continues to descend, the telescopic sleeve 42 will slide to retract the fixed end into its interior and drive the reset spring 97 to retract. When the fixed end moves upward, the reset spring 97 pushes the fixed end to slide to the initial position. After all the fixed ends slide to the initial position, the oscillating ball 9 drives the suction cup 43 to swing to be perpendicular to the telescopic sleeve 42. At this time, the electrode is fully unfolded, so that the electrode is laid flat when placed in the placement area and will not be bent.

[0074] During operation: First, according to the actual size of the electrode, the main cylinder 40 is installed and fixed in the corresponding mounting groove 32 by fixing bolt 41. Then, the spacing of the horizontal plate 31, the first mounting plate 34 and the second mounting plate 35 are adjusted by adjusting component 5, so that the adsorption component 4 can more accurately adsorb the surface of the electrode and can also adsorb and transport irregularly shaped electrodes.

[0075] Step 2: Then, the horizontal movement motor 61 in the horizontal movement assembly 6 indirectly drives the swing mechanism 2 and the adsorption unit 3 to move in the horizontal direction, so that the adsorption unit 3 can correspond to the upper end of the electrode. At this time, the ultrasonic cleaning unit 7 is driven by the drive unit 8 to clean the dust on the electrode.

[0076] Step 3: After the dust on the electrode is cleaned, the ultrasonic cleaning unit 7 is retracted by the drive unit 8. Then, the drive unit 8 drives the adsorption unit 3 to descend. The adsorption unit 3 adsorbs the electrode through the adsorption component 4. During the adsorption process, the telescopic sleeve 42 can adaptively extend and retract, so that all the suction cups 43 can be attached to the surface of the electrode.

[0077] Step 4: The swing mechanism 2 and the adsorption unit 3 are indirectly driven to the discharge point by the transverse component 6. At this time, the adsorption unit 3 drives the swing plate 22 to swing along its axis, so that the inclination of the adsorption unit 3 corresponds to the angle of the discharge point, thereby enabling the adsorption component 4 to place the electrode sheet on the placement point with a certain inclination, which further improves the applicability of the present invention.

[0078] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as exemplary and not restrictive.

[0079] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
