Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of storage battery production, and particularly to a high-efficiency and high-precision assembly process for an acid adding pot of a storage battery. Background Art

[0002] One of the processes in the production of storage batteries is acid addition. The specific steps are as follows: the acid adding nozzle at the bottom of the acid adding pot is sleeved on the acid adding hole of the storage battery, then the injection hole of the acid adding machine is pressed down, connected through the injection hole and the acid adding pot, and then negative pressure is evacuated and acid is injected.

[0003] Chinese Patent CN202210561815.1 discloses a full negative pressure vacuum charging process and equipment for lead-acid storage batteries. During the process, a negative pressure of 0.03 - 0.1 Mpa is maintained throughout the charging process. Five charge and discharge stages are adopted. After the first four charge and discharge stages, discharging is carried out. There are a total of 17 steps of charging, which takes about 36 hours. Compared with the previous charging time, it is reduced, the efficiency is improved, and the power consumption and energy consumption are reduced; the charging acceptance efficiency of the active substances of the storage battery is effectively improved, thereby improving the discharge time and discharge capacity of the storage battery under normal temperature and low temperature conditions, and improving the energy density of the storage battery; the temperature during the charging process of the storage battery is effectively reduced; the process equipment uses a negative pressure plate to connect with the acid pot on the acid injection port of the storage battery.

[0004] However, in the prior art, it relies on manual insertion and installation of the acid pot and the storage battery, which is laborious and difficult to install; and when the acid pot is inserted into the lead storage battery, if there is a deviation in the buckling position between the acid pot and the storage battery, it will lead to difficult insertion and inability to be effectively inserted in place. During the transportation process to the next processing stage, the acid pot may shake and cause liquid leakage. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a high-efficiency and high-precision assembly process for an acid adding pot of a storage battery in view of the deficiencies of the prior art. Through the optimized design of the transfer process of the acid pot, the whole transfer process has a short stroke. The acid pot and the storage battery are fed separately from top and bottom, eliminating the acid pot lifting step. The acid pot flipping and transfer are separately set. The overall beat response speed is fast. The battery is fed by side pushing, with a short stroke, and the overall cooperation is efficient. In addition, by setting the clamping mechanism and the insertion mechanism to follow each other, the beat matching degree of the two is good. The acid pot is first positioned and then inserted, and is always in a clamped state during the process. The insertion mechanism is provided with a double-cylinder structure, each responsible for a fixed stroke, and a limit groove structure is arranged at the inner top of the clamping mechanism to limit and support the storage battery, so as to achieve high-precision cooperation. Therefore, the high-efficiency and high-precision assembly process for the acid adding pot of the storage battery of the present invention has the advantages of high overall transfer efficiency, fast beat matching, high precision and high stability.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] An efficient and high-precision assembly process for the acid addition pot of a storage battery, including:

[0008] S1, Synchronous feeding from above and below: The acid pot is continuously fed and flipped to an inverted state by the first conveying module above. At the same time, the storage battery is continuously fed by the second conveying module below to the plugging and matching station of the acid pot.

[0009] S2, Acid pot feeding: The inverted acid pot is clamped by the clamping mechanism of the feeding module and then laterally pushed by the feeding mechanism to the position between the plugging mechanism and the positioning mechanism.

[0010] S3, Acid pot positioning and calibration: The plugging mechanism presses down the acid pot in the first stage, and cooperates with the positioning mechanism to calibrate the spout structure. During this process, the clamping mechanism follows and keeps clamping the storage battery.

[0011] S4, Matching plugging: The plugging mechanism presses down the acid pot in the second stage to align and plug the spout structure with the acid addition port of the storage battery below. During this process, the clamping mechanism follows and keeps clamping the storage battery.

[0012] S5, Finished product outflow and mechanism reset.

[0013] Preferably, in step S3, during the downward pressing of the acid pot, the guiding part on its spout structure is guided and inserted into the positioning hole of the positioning mechanism for calibration and alignment.

[0014] Preferably, before the second-stage downward pressing in step S4, the positioning mechanism moves away to make way for the plugging and matching action of the acid pot and the storage battery.

[0015] Preferably, in step S2, the plugging mechanism, the positioning mechanism, and the second conveying module are arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The first conveying module and the feeding module are arranged vertically and on one side of the plugging mechanism. The second conveying module conveys the storage battery to the position below the positioning mechanism to wait for the plugging operation, and the feeding mechanism laterally feeds the acid pot to directly above the storage battery.

[0016] Preferably, in step S2, during the process of laterally pushing and feeding the acid pot to the position between the plugging mechanism and the positioning mechanism, there is a height difference between the acid pot and the bottom of the plugging mechanism.

[0017] Preferably, the clamping mechanism is arranged to follow the plugging mechanism, and the lifting action of the plugging mechanism drives the clamping mechanism to lift and lower synchronously. In steps S3 - S4, the clamping mechanism always keeps clamping the acid pot; the plugging mechanism is set as a double-cylinder structure, each performing the downward pressing operations in the first stage and the second stage.

[0018] Preferably, the clamping mechanism is vertically slidably mounted on the feeding mechanism, and the plugging mechanism and the clamping mechanism are power-connected through a transverse slide table. The clamping mechanism can move up and down synchronously with the plugging mechanism and can be driven independently by the feeding mechanism to move horizontally.

[0019] Preferably, in step S1, the first conveying module and the second conveying module are arranged vertically, and the storage battery and the acid pot are fed synchronously upward to their plugging and mating stations.

[0020] Preferably, in step S1, the first conveying module includes a first conveying line, a first conveying mechanism, and a feeding mechanism. The acid pots are continuously conveyed upright on the first conveying line. The first conveying mechanism pushes and distributes the acid pots one by one to the side. The next acid pot receiving the side push and distribution will further push the previously distributed acid pot onto the feeding mechanism. The feeding mechanism flips the acid pot to an inverted state.

[0021] Preferably, the second conveying module includes a second conveying line and a second conveying mechanism. The storage batteries are continuously conveyed on the second conveying line. The second conveying mechanism pushes and distributes the storage batteries one by one to the side. The next storage battery receiving the side push and distribution will further push the previously distributed storage battery under the positioning mechanism.

[0022] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0023] (1) By optimizing the design of the flow process of the acid pot, the whole flow process has a short stroke. The acid pot and the storage battery are fed separately, one above the other, eliminating the step of lifting the acid pot. The flipping and transfer of the acid pot are separately arranged. The overall beat response speed is fast. The battery is side-pushed for feeding with a short stroke, and the overall cooperation is efficient. In addition, by setting the clamping mechanism to follow the plugging mechanism, the beat matching degree of the two is good. The acid pot is positioned first and then plugged, and is always held in a clamped state during the process. The plugging mechanism is provided with a double-cylinder structure, each responsible for a fixed stroke, and a limit groove structure is arranged at the inner top of the clamping mechanism to limit and support the storage battery, so as to achieve high-precision cooperation. Therefore, the high-efficiency and high-precision assembly process of the storage battery with the acid pot of the present invention has the advantages of high overall flow efficiency, fast beat matching, high precision and high stability;

[0024] (2) A small height difference is set between the acid pot and the plugging mechanism. One of the functions is that when the plugging mechanism presses down on the acid pot, due to this height difference, that is, the two are not in rigid contact, there is a certain downward pressure buffer and elastic rebound, so that the diversion part of the spout structure of the pot can automatically correct any possible slight skew. The second function is to make way for the side-push operation to avoid friction between the two, which may affect the side-push and damage the acid pot;

[0025] (3) In the present invention, the acid pot and the storage battery are synchronously conveyed up and down for feeding. Then, the acid pot moves downward so that the spout structure thereof is matched and inserted into the acid addition port of the storage battery below. By pressing the acid pot in multiple stages, during one stage of pressing, the positioning mechanism is cooperated to calibrate and position the spout structure. During the second stage of pressing, the spout structure is quickly aligned and inserted into the acid addition port of the storage battery below. During the whole process of pressing the acid pot, the acid pot always maintains a state of being positioned and clamped through a follow-up action. The overall process cooperation is compact and the insertion work efficiency is high.

[0026] (4) In the present invention, the insertion work realizes multi-stroke actions through single drive, so as to sequentially complete actions such as positioning and calibration of the spout structure of the acid pot, alignment and insertion with the storage battery, and self-resetting.

[0027] (5) In the present invention, the clamping mechanism and the insertion mechanism of the acid pot are vertically follow-up and horizontally independently movable, realizing independent horizontal movement feeding of the clamping mechanism and the clamping mechanism following the insertion mechanism to move downward, so that the acid pot always maintains a clamped state during the insertion work process.

[0028] (6) In the present invention, the acid pot and the storage battery are synchronously fed up and down, and through a double-station feeding method, there is an intermediate waiting position, which improves the continuous feeding efficiency and avoids the long pushing stroke, long feeding time and influence on efficiency of a single-station pushing material.

[0043] Embodiment 1

[0044] As Figure 1 shown, a high-efficiency and high-precision assembly process for an acid pot of a storage battery includes:

[0045] S1, synchronous feeding up and down: The acid pot 10 is continuously fed and turned to an inverted state by the first conveying module above. At the same time, the storage battery 20 is continuously fed by the second conveying module below to the plugging and matching station with the acid pot 10;

[0046] S2, Acid pot feeding: The inverted acid pot 10 is clamped by the clamping mechanism 3 of the feeding module, and then is laterally pushed by the feeding mechanism 4 to the space between the plugging mechanism 1 and the positioning mechanism 2;

[0047] S3, Acid pot positioning and calibration: The plugging mechanism 1 presses the acid pot 10 downward in the first stage, and cooperates with the positioning mechanism 2 to calibrate the spout structure 101. During step S3, the clamping mechanism 3 follows to keep clamping the storage battery 20;

[0048] S4, Matching plugging: The plugging mechanism 1 presses the acid pot 10 downward in the second stage, so that its spout structure 101 is aligned and plugged with the acid adding port 201 of the storage battery 20 below. During step S4, the clamping mechanism 3 follows to keep clamping the storage battery 20;

[0049] S5, Finished product outflow and mechanism reset.

[0050] Figure 12 The flow path of the clamping mechanism 3 in this embodiment is shown, including the clamping operation and reset. The solid line part is the flow path of the clamping operation, and the dotted line part is the flow path of the reset.

[0051] Preferably, in step S2, the plugging mechanism 1, the positioning mechanism 2 and the second conveying module are arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The first conveying module and the feeding module are arranged vertically and located on one side of the plugging mechanism 1. The second conveying module conveys the storage battery 20 to the position below the positioning mechanism 2 waiting for the plugging operation, and the feeding mechanism 4 laterally feeds the acid pot 10 to directly above the storage battery 20.

[0052] In this embodiment, the acid pot 10 and the storage battery 20 are synchronously conveyed vertically for feeding. Then the acid pot 10 moves downward so that its spout structure 101 is matched and plugged with the acid adding port 201 of the storage battery 20 below. Through the multi-stage pressing action of the acid pot 10, during the first-stage pressing, the positioning mechanism 2 is used to calibrate and position the spout structure 101. During the second-stage pressing, the spout structure 101 is quickly aligned and plugged with the acid adding port 201 below. During the whole process of the downward pressing of the acid pot 10, the clamping mechanism 3 of the feeding module and the follow-up action of the plugging mechanism 1 ensure that the acid pot always maintains a positioned and clamped state. The overall process cooperation is compact and the plugging work efficiency is high.

[0053] Preferably, in step S3, during the downward pressing of the acid pot 10, the guiding part 104 on its spout structure 101 is guided to insert into the positioning hole 21 of the positioning mechanism 2 for calibration and positioning.

[0054] Preferably, before the second-stage pressing in step S4, the positioning mechanism 2 moves away to make way for the plugging cooperation action of the acid pot 10 and the storage battery 20.

[0055] Preferably, during the process of laterally pushing the acid pot 10 to feed it between the plugging mechanism 1 and the positioning mechanism 2 in step S2, there is a height difference between the acid pot 10 and the bottom of the plugging mechanism 1.

[0056] In this embodiment, during the process of laterally pushing the acid pot 10 to feed it between the plugging mechanism 1 and the positioning mechanism 2, there is a slight height difference between the acid pot 10 and the bottom of the plugging mechanism 1. One of the functions is that after the lateral pushing is in place, when the plugging mechanism 1 presses down on the acid pot 10, due to the above-mentioned slight height difference between the acid pot 10 and the plugging mechanism 1, that is, the two are not in rigid contact, but there is a certain downward pressure buffer and elastic rebound. Thus, the diversion part 104 of the spout structure 101 of the acid pot 10 itself can automatically correct any possible slight skew. If the acid pot 10 and the plugging mechanism 1 are in rigid contact at the beginning, then if the diversion part 104 is skewed, it will be more firmly pressed in the skewed state during downward pressure, making it difficult to achieve the correction effect or even causing the diversion part 104 to be damaged; the second function is to make way for the lateral pushing operation to avoid friction between the two, which may affect the lateral pushing and damage the acid pot 10.

[0057] As a supplementary explanation, a slight height difference is set between the acid pot 10 and the bottom of the plugging mechanism 1, and this height difference is sufficient to allow the acid pot 10 to be smoothly laterally pushed under the plugging mechanism 1 without friction with the plugging mechanism 1.

[0058] Preferably, the clamping mechanism 3 is arranged to follow the movement of the plugging mechanism 1, and the lifting movement of the plugging mechanism 1 drives the clamping mechanism 3 to lift and lower synchronously. Thus, in steps S3 - S4, the clamping mechanism 3 always holds the acid pot 10 in a clamped state; the plugging mechanism 1 is arranged as a double-cylinder structure, so as to perform the first-stage and second-stage downward pressure operations respectively.

[0059] In this embodiment, the plugging work realizes multi-stroke actions through the single drive of the plugging mechanism 1, so as to successively complete actions such as the positioning and calibration of the spout structure 101 of the acid pot 10, the alignment and plugging with the storage battery 20, and its own reset.

[0060] In addition, the clamping mechanism 3 and the plugging mechanism 1 are arranged to realize vertical following movement and independent lateral movement, so as to realize the independent lateral movement and feeding of the clamping mechanism 3 and the clamping mechanism 3 following the downward movement of the plugging mechanism 1. Thus, during the plugging work process, the acid pot 10 can always be kept in a clamped state.

[0061] Preferably, the clamping mechanism 3 is vertically slidably installed on the feeding mechanism 4, and the plugging mechanism 1 and the clamping mechanism 3 are power-connected through a lateral sliding table 30. Thus, the clamping mechanism 3 can move up and down synchronously with the plugging mechanism 1 and can be independently driven by the feeding mechanism 4 for lateral movement.

[0062] Preferably, in step S1, the first conveying module and the second conveying module are arranged vertically, and the battery 20 and the acid pot 10 are fed synchronously upward to their plug-in cooperation station.

[0063] Preferably, in step S1, the first conveying module includes a first conveying line 5, a first conveying mechanism 6 and a feeding mechanism 7. The upright acid pots 10 are continuously conveyed on the first conveying line 5. The first conveying mechanism 6 pushes and distributes the acid pots 10 one by one to the side. The next acid pot 10 receiving the side push and distribution further pushes the previously distributed acid pot 10 onto the feeding mechanism 7, and the feeding mechanism 7 turns the acid pot 10 to an inverted state.

[0064] Preferably, the second conveying module includes a second conveying line 8 and a second conveying mechanism 9. The batteries 20 are continuously conveyed on the second conveying line 8. The second conveying mechanism 9 pushes and distributes the batteries 20 one by one to the side. The next battery 20 receiving the side push and distribution further pushes the previously distributed battery 20 to the lower part of the positioning mechanism 2.

[0065] In this embodiment, the acid pots 10 and the batteries 20 are fed synchronously upward, and by means of a double-station feeding method with an intermediate waiting position, the continuous feeding efficiency is improved, and the problems of long single-station pushing stroke, long feeding time and low efficiency are avoided.

[0066] Embodiment 2

[0067] This embodiment provides a high-efficiency and high-precision assembly device for adding acid pots to batteries, which adopts a high-efficiency and high-precision assembly process for adding acid pots to batteries in the above embodiment, as Figures 2 - 3 shown, including:

[0068] A first conveying module and a second conveying module, wherein the first conveying module continuously conveys the acid pots 10 for feeding, and the second conveying module continuously conveys the batteries 20 for synchronous feeding;

[0069] As Figure 3 shown, a plugging mechanism 1 and a positioning mechanism 2 are arranged vertically. The battery 20 is conveyed by the second conveying module to the lower part of the positioning mechanism 2 to wait for the plugging operation; and

[0070] A feeding module, which clamps the inverted acid pot 10 and feeds it between the plugging mechanism 1 and the positioning mechanism 2. The plugging mechanism 1 first presses down the acid pot 10 in the first stage to cooperate with the positioning mechanism 2 to calibrate the spout structure 101, and then presses down the acid pot 10 in the second stage so that the spout structure 101 is aligned and plugged with the acid adding port 201 of the lower battery 20.

[0071] As a supplementary explanation, the inverted acid pot 10 refers to the state in which the spout structure 101 of the acid pot 10 faces downward.

[0072] Preferably, the plugging mechanism 1, the positioning mechanism 2 and the second conveying module are arranged in sequence from top to bottom. Horizontally and side by side, the first conveying module and the feeding module are arranged vertically. The second conveying module conveys the battery 20 to the lower part of the positioning mechanism 2, and the feeding module feeds the acid pot 10 horizontally to directly above the battery 20.

[0073] In this embodiment, by arranging the plugging mechanism 1, the positioning mechanism 2 and the second conveying module in sequence from top to bottom, and arranging the first conveying module and the feeding module in sequence from top to bottom horizontally and side by side, the first conveying module and the second conveying module synchronously convey the acid pot 10 and the battery 20 respectively for feeding. Then, the plugging mechanism 1 drives the acid pot 10 to move downward so that the spout structure 101 thereof is matched and plugged with the acid adding port 201 of the lower battery 20. The plugging mechanism 1 presses the acid pot in multiple stages. During one stage of pressing, the positioning mechanism 2 is coordinated to calibrate and position the spout structure 101, so as to ensure that the acid pot 10 can be quickly and accurately matched and effectively plugged with the battery 20 subsequently. During the second stage of pressing, the spout structure 101 is quickly aligned and plugged with the acid adding port 20. The structural design is compact and ingenious, the cooperation between mechanisms is compact, and the plugging work efficiency is high.

[0074] Preferably, as Figure 9 shown, the plugging mechanism 1 includes: a plugging driving part 11, which is vertically installed on the frame and provides segmented vertical driving force; and a pressing part 12, which is installed on the bottom driving end of the plugging driving part 11 and is driven by the plugging driving part 11 to move up and down.

[0075] In this embodiment, the single drive of the plugging mechanism 1 realizes multi-stroke actions, so as to sequentially complete actions such as positioning and calibration of the spout structure of the acid pot, alignment and plugging with the battery, and self-resetting.

[0076] Preferably, as Figures 7 - 8 shown, the positioning mechanism 2 includes: a positioning component 22, on which a positioning hole 21 is provided. Combining Figure 9 shown, during the first-stage pressing process of the acid pot 10, its spout structure 101 is guided and inserted into the positioning hole 21 of the positioning mechanism 2 to calibrate and position the possible skew; and a positioning driving part 23, which drives the positioning component 22 to move to make way for the plugging and matching actions of the acid pot 10 and the battery 20.

[0077] In this embodiment, during the insertion process by moving the acid pot 10 downward, the spout structure 101 of the pot first realizes insertion with the positioning hole 21 of the positioning mechanism 2 to obtain the positioning and calibration operation before insertion. The positioning hole 21 is set as an inverted cone shape, which can mainly correct the possible skew of the spout structure 101, especially the diversion part 104, so as to ensure that the diversion part 104 can be quickly and smoothly aligned with the acid addition port 201 during subsequent insertion.

[0078] Preferably, the positioning holes 21 and the spout structures 101 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence, and the positioning holes 21 are set as inverted cone shapes with a larger upper part and a smaller lower part, so as to gradually guide and correct the position of the spout structures 101.

[0079] Preferably, as Figure 8 shown, the positioning assembly 22 includes a left positioning part 221 and a right positioning part 222 with a mirror-symmetrical structure. The two are arranged to move relatively left and right, and when the two are closed, they are spliced together to form the positioning hole 21. The positioning driving part 23 is drivingly connected to the left positioning part 221 and the right positioning part 222 to drive the left positioning part 221 and the right positioning part 222 to close or open.

[0080] In this embodiment, after the positioning before insertion is completed, the left positioning part 221 and the right positioning part 222 open to make way and avoid interference, so that the spout structure 101 can further move downward and be aligned and inserted with the acid addition port 201 of the battery 20.

[0081] Preferably, as Figure 4 shown, the feeding module includes a clamping mechanism 3 that clamps the acid pot 10 fed by the first conveying module, and a feeding mechanism 4 installed on the frame, which drives the clamping mechanism 3 to move horizontally to push the clamping mechanism 3 to directly below the insertion mechanism 1 or reset the clamping mechanism 3. Among them, the clamping mechanism 3 is arranged to follow the insertion mechanism 1, and the lifting action of the insertion mechanism 1 drives the clamping mechanism 3 to lift and lower synchronously, so that during the calibration and insertion process, the clamping mechanism 3 always holds the acid pot 10.

[0082] In this embodiment, the clamping mechanism 3 is set to follow the insertion mechanism 1 vertically, so that the clamping mechanism 3 always positions and holds the acid pot 10 in an inverted state during the entire insertion process.

[0083] Preferably, as Figure 6As shown, the clamping mechanism 3 is vertically and slidably mounted on the feeding mechanism 4. The plugging mechanism 1 and the clamping mechanism 3 are power-connected through a transverse slide 30. The transverse slide 30 is fixedly mounted with the clamping mechanism 3 and is transversely provided with a long groove 301 thereon. One end of the pressing part 12 of the plugging mechanism 1 is slidably mounted in the long groove 301 through a roller. Thus, the clamping mechanism 3 can move up and down synchronously with the plugging mechanism 1 and can be driven by the feeding mechanism 4 alone to move transversely.

[0084] In this embodiment, the pressing part 12 of the plugging mechanism 1 is power-connected with the clamping mechanism 3 through the slide 30, so as to drive the clamping mechanism 3 to move up and down together. Thus, when plugging, the clamping mechanism 3 can always hold the acid pot 10 and move down. When the pressing part 12 moves up and resets, it drives the clamping mechanism 3 to move up and reset synchronously. Therefore, through the structural design of driving the clamping mechanism 3 to move vertically synchronously by the pressing part 12, it is avoided to separately set an additional driving part to drive the clamping mechanism 3 to cooperate with the plugging action to move synchronously, etc. Moreover, the way of additionally setting a driving part will also affect the feeding of the storage battery and cause feeding interference.

[0086] In this embodiment, the same or corresponding components as those in the second embodiment above adopt the corresponding reference numerals in the second embodiment. For the sake of simplicity, only the differences from the second embodiment will be described below. The difference between this embodiment and the second embodiment above is that:

[0087] As a preference, as Figure 4 、 6 shown, the plugging driving part 11 includes: an upper air cylinder 111 and a lower air cylinder 112 which are arranged vertically one above the other. The upper air cylinder 111 is vertically arranged and its driving end faces upward and is connected to the frame. The lower air cylinder 112 is vertically arranged and its driving end faces downward and is connected to the pressing part 12. The other ends of the upper air cylinder 111 and the lower air cylinder 112 relative to their respective driving ends are connected to each other.

[0088] In this embodiment, the plugging driving part 11 is vertically provided with the upper air cylinder 111 and the lower air cylinder 112. The two air cylinders are arranged back to back, forming a structure of "two air cylinders and three strokes". The first stroke is to press down the acid pot 10 through the pressing part 12, so that the spout structure 101 is guided to be inserted into the funnel-shaped positioning hole 21 for positioning. The second stroke is that after the left positioning part 221 and the right positioning part 222 are opened to make way, the pressing part 12 further presses down the positioned acid pot 10 to complete the complete plugging of the acid pot 10 and the storage battery 20. The third stroke is that the mechanism moves up and resets.

[0092] As a preference, Figure 10 As shown, the clamping part of the left clamping jaw 31 is set to be "L"-shaped or "冖"-shaped, so as to limit and clamp at least two side surfaces of the acid pot 10, and the right clamping jaw 32 and the left clamping jaw 31 are set in a mirror structure.

[0093] In this embodiment, the acid pot 10 is positioned and clamped on all sides by the clamping mechanism 3, so that the acid pot 10 can be corrected and positioned, and the acid pot 10 can be quickly and accurately plugged into the battery 20 with high efficiency.

[0094] Embodiment 5

[0095] The same or corresponding components in this embodiment as those in the above-mentioned second embodiment are marked with the same reference numerals as those in the above-mentioned second embodiment. For the sake of simplicity, only the differences from the above-mentioned second embodiment are described below. The differences between this embodiment and the above-mentioned second embodiment are:

[0096] As a preference, Figure 1 , 3 As shown, the first conveying module includes: a first conveying line 5, a first conveying mechanism 6 and a loading mechanism 7. The first conveying line 5 continuously transmits the upright acid pots 10. The first conveying mechanism 6 pushes the acid pots 10 to the side one by one to distribute the materials. The next acid pot 10 that receives the side-pushing distribution further pushes the previous acid pot 10 to the loading mechanism 7. The loading mechanism 7 flips the acid pot 10 to an inverted state.

[0097] As a preference, Figures 2 - 3 As shown, the second conveying module includes: a second conveying line 8 and a second conveying mechanism 9. The second conveying line 8 continuously transmits the batteries 20. The second conveying mechanism 9 pushes the batteries 20 to the side one by one. The next battery 20 receiving the side push pushes the previous battery 20 further to the bottom of the positioning mechanism 2.

[0098] In this embodiment, the feeding of the acid pot 10 and the storage battery 20 realizes double-station feeding, which improves the continuous feeding efficiency and avoids the long pushing stroke, long feeding time and low efficiency of single-station feeding.

[0099] Preferably, the clamping mechanism 3 is arranged to move up and down to cooperate with receiving the acid pot 10 fed by the feeding mechanism 7.

[0100] Preferably, as Figure 5 shown, the first conveying mechanism 6 includes: a pushing driving part 61, which is installed on the frame; and a buffer loading table 62. The push plate 610 of the pushing driving part 61 pushes the continuously conveyed acid pots 10 one by one onto the buffer loading table 62 for feeding, and the next acid pot 10 to be fed further pushes the acid pot 10 on the buffer loading table 62 onto the feeding mechanism 7.

[0101] Preferably, as Figure 11 shown, the feeding mechanism 7 is arranged horizontally opposite to the first conveying mechanism 6, and includes: a rotation driving part 71, which is installed on the frame; and a feeding clamping part 72. The feeding clamping part 72 receives and clamps the acid pot 10 fed in an upright state, and is driven by the rotation driving part 71 to rotate to turn the acid pot 10 to an inverted state.

[0102] Preferably, a guiding slope 73 is arranged at the lower part of the feeding end of the feeding clamping part 72, and guiding openings 74 in a horn shape are formed at both side parts of the feeding end.

[0103] In this embodiment, by arranging the guiding slope 73 at the lower part of the feeding end of the feeding clamping part 72 of the feeding mechanism 7 and forming the guiding openings 74 in a horn shape at both side parts, feeding guiding is realized, ensuring that the acid pot 10 can be smoothly pushed onto the loading platform of the feeding clamping part 72, and improving the feeding stability and feeding efficiency.

[0104] Embodiment Six

[0105] For the same or corresponding components in this embodiment and the second embodiment above, the corresponding reference numerals in the second embodiment above are adopted. For the sake of simplicity, only the differences from the second embodiment above are described below. The differences between this embodiment and the second embodiment above are as follows:

[0106] Preferably, as Figure 4 shown, a spout structure 101 for discharging acid liquid is arranged on the acid pot 10. As Figure 7 shown, an acid adding port 201 is provided on the storage battery 20. The spout structure 101 corresponds to the acid adding port 201 one by one, and the spout structure 101 is inserted and installed in the acid adding port 201, and the two cooperate for acid adding operation.

[0107] Preferably, asFigure 9 As shown, the spout structure 101 includes: a spout 102, the spout 102 communicating with the body 103 of the acid pot 10; and a diversion part 104, the diversion part 104 being arranged in a needle shape and inserted into the spout 102, with one end extending into the body 103 and the other end extending out of the spout 102, which diverts the output of the acid liquid.

[0108] It should be noted that a conventional acid pot 10 only has an open spout 102. This structure lacks diversion when the acid liquid exits, resulting in poor liquid discharge or liquid leakage. In this embodiment, by improving the design of the spout structure 101 and inserting a needle-shaped diversion part 104 into the spout 102, a diversion effect is achieved, making the outflow of the acid liquid smoother and avoiding problems such as poor liquid discharge or liquid leakage.

[0109] The acid pot 10 without the diversion part 104 is better inserted into the battery 20. With the diversion part 104, it is inconvenient to insert. If the diversion part 104 is skewed, it will be difficult to align with the acid addition port 201 on the battery 20. Therefore, it is even more necessary to perform a guiding operation before insertion.

[0110] Working process:

[0111] On the first conveyor line 5, the upright acid pots 10 are continuously transmitted to the first conveying mechanism 6. The first conveying mechanism 6 laterally pushes and distributes the acid pots 10 one by one, and the next acid pot 10 receiving the lateral push and distribution further pushes the previously distributed acid pot 10 onto the loading mechanism 7. The loading mechanism 7 flips the acid pot 10 to an inverted state. After the clamping mechanism 3 clamps the acid pot 10 fed by the loading mechanism 7, the feeding mechanism 4 drives the clamping mechanism 3 to move laterally to push the acid pot 10 to directly below the insertion mechanism 1; meanwhile, on the second conveyor line 8, the batteries 20 are continuously transmitted to the second conveying mechanism 9. The second conveying mechanism 9 laterally pushes and distributes the batteries 20 one by one, and the next battery 20 receiving the lateral push and distribution further pushes the previously distributed battery 20 to wait for the insertion work below the positioning mechanism 2;

[0112] The insertion mechanism 1 first presses down the acid pot 10 that has been loaded in place below it in a first stage, so that the spout structure 101 is guided and inserted into the positioning hole 21 of the positioning mechanism 2 to calibrate and correct the possible skew. Then the positioning mechanism 2 moves away to make way. The insertion mechanism 1 further presses down the acid pot 10 in a second stage, so that the acid pot 10 is inserted into the battery 20 in a matching manner in place. During this process, the clamping mechanism 3 and the insertion mechanism 1 move vertically in a follow-up manner to maintain the positioning and clamping of the acid pot;

[0113] After the insertion work is completed, the mechanism resets, and the battery 20 equipped with the acid pot 10 flows out.

[0114] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
