Description

[0002] Traditional lead-acid power batteries are used in groups of multiple batteries. To ensure battery life and avoid the occurrence of a single lagging battery, it is generally required that the batteries in the same group have similar capacity, similar voltage, and similar internal resistance.

[0003] In the production process after charging in the lead-acid power battery industry, capacity sorting and grouping are generally done manually. Some stages use a combination of manual capacity sorting (or grading) and semi-automatic grouping, which results in low production efficiency, is prone to errors, and leads to incorrect grouping. Therefore, there is an urgent need to research an automatic battery grading and grouping device and method to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0013] A method of using the automatic battery grouping and matching device as described above includes the following steps:

[0014] Step 1: Place the battery tray containing the battery under the support frame, and then use the XYZ moving platform to drive the suction component to place the battery on the battery tray onto the first belt conveyor of a detection mechanism.

[0015] Step 2: The battery is transported to the position corresponding to the first push plate of the testing mechanism via the first belt conveyor. The capacity information of the battery is collected and transmitted to the control cabinet. Then, the battery is pushed horizontally from the first belt conveyor of the testing mechanism to the second belt conveyor of the testing mechanism via the first push plate. At the same time, the lower ends of the two testing heads of the testing mechanism are brought into contact with the positive and negative terminals of the battery, respectively, so that the testing instrument of the testing mechanism can perform voltage and internal resistance testing on the battery. The battery capacity information is input by means of printing a QR code containing the battery capacity information on the top of the battery and reading the QR code to input the battery capacity information, or by manually inputting the battery capacity information.

[0016] Step 3: When the battery is pushed onto the second belt conveyor of the first testing mechanism by the first push plate of the first testing mechanism, the first push plate and the testing head of the first testing mechanism are reset respectively. At the same time, the testing instrument of the first testing mechanism transmits the battery's voltage information and internal resistance information to the control cabinet. Then, the control cabinet binds the battery's capacity information, voltage information, internal resistance information and battery serial number and identifies the battery's gear information.

[0017] Step 4: Repeat steps 2 to 3 to arrange multiple completed batteries into a row on the second belt conveyor of a testing mechanism according to the set number.

[0018] Step 5: Push the rows of batteries from the second belt conveyor of the testing mechanism onto a chain plate conveyor via a pushing mechanism. Then, convey the rows of batteries on the chain plate conveyor to the side away from the testing mechanism, and make the batteries correspond in position to the matching mechanism.

[0019] Step 6: Repeat the operation of Step 5 to fill the chain conveyor with batteries; then set the number of battery groups and the number of batteries in a single group through the control cabinet, and group batteries of the same grade but different positions into one group through the control cabinet.

[0020] Step 7: The fourth motor drives the transmission frame to move linearly, causing the eighth cylinder to move to the designated position. Then, the eighth cylinder drives the bidirectional cylinder to move downward. After the two clamps on the bidirectional cylinder clamp the battery, the eighth cylinder drives the battery to move upward. Then, the synchronous belt drives the battery to move horizontally to the top of the designated battery housing space. Then, the eighth cylinder drives the bidirectional cylinder to move downward, and the two clamps on the bidirectional cylinder release the battery, thus placing batteries of the same grade in the same battery housing space.

[0021] Step 8: Repeat the operation of Step 7 to transfer the batteries from the chain conveyor to the roller conveyor, and at the same time, transport the batteries to the third belt conveyor via the roller conveyor. When the number of batteries in any battery transport space on the third belt conveyor reaches the set number of batteries per group, the blocker corresponding to the battery transport space is released, and the batteries in the battery transport space are then transported to the next process via the fourth belt conveyor and the fifth belt conveyor via the third belt conveyor.

[0022] Step 9: During the process of transferring batteries from one chain conveyor to the roller conveyor, one detection mechanism stops feeding batteries, while the feeding mechanism begins to transport batteries to another detection mechanism; the other detection mechanism repeats the operations of steps 2 to 4 of the first detection mechanism, and the other pushing mechanism repeats the operation of step 5 of the first pushing mechanism; then, after all the batteries on the one chain conveyor have been transferred to the roller conveyor and the other chain conveyor is full of batteries, the operations of steps 7 to 8 are performed on the other chain conveyor.

[0023] Step 10: Repeat steps 1 to 9 to achieve automatic battery grouping and matching.

[0024] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] This invention is based on automated design. A feeding mechanism transfers batteries from a battery tray to a testing mechanism, where each battery is individually tested. A pushing mechanism then groups the tested batteries from the testing mechanism onto a chain conveyor. Once the chain conveyor is full of tested batteries, the feeding mechanism transfers the batteries from the battery tray to another testing mechanism. This other testing mechanism tests the batteries and pushes them from the testing mechanism onto another chain conveyor. Simultaneously, during the operation of this other testing mechanism, a grouping mechanism groups the batteries on the chain conveyor according to certain standards onto a grouping conveyor. A grading conveyor mechanism transports the graded batteries to an unloading mechanism, which then transports batteries of the same grade one by one to the next process. When all the batteries on one chain conveyor are transported, the other chain conveyor is also full of batteries that have completed testing. Then, a grouping mechanism groups the batteries on the other chain conveyor according to certain standards onto the grading conveyor. At the same time, a loading mechanism transfers the batteries from the battery tray to a testing mechanism, which then tests the batteries. Finally, a pushing mechanism pushes the groups of tested batteries from the testing mechanism onto a chain conveyor. This process not only effectively improves the efficiency of battery grading and grouping but also ensures the efficiency of battery production.

[0026] Of course, any product implementing this invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0048] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

The structure includes a tiered conveyor mechanism 7 installed between the two chain conveyors 5; multiple grouping mechanisms 8 are installed side-by-side above the tiered conveyor mechanism 7, and any grouping mechanism 8 can transfer the battery from any chain conveyor 5 to the tiered conveyor mechanism 7; a discharge mechanism 9 is installed at the output end of the tiered conveyor mechanism 7; the feeding mechanism 1, the detection mechanism 4, the chain conveyor 5, the pushing mechanism 6, the tiered conveyor mechanism 7, the grouping mechanism 8, and the discharge mechanism 9 are electrically connected to the control cabinet 10; the control cabinet 10 is used to control the feeding mechanism 1, the detection mechanism 4, the chain conveyor 5, the pushing mechanism 6, the tiered conveyor mechanism 7, the grouping mechanism 8, and the discharge mechanism 9. In use, the batteries in the battery tray 3 are transferred to a testing mechanism 4 via the feeding mechanism 1. The testing mechanism 4 then performs individual testing on each battery (testing parameters include one or more of the following: battery capacity, internal resistance, open-circuit voltage, and discharge curve). A pushing mechanism 6 then pushes the tested batteries in groups from the testing mechanism 4 onto a chain conveyor 5. Once the chain conveyor 5 is full of tested batteries, the feeding mechanism 1 transfers the batteries in the battery tray 3 to another testing mechanism 4. This other testing mechanism 4 performs the testing, and the pushing mechanism 6 pushes the tested batteries in groups from the testing mechanism 4 onto another chain conveyor 5. Simultaneously, during the operation of the other testing mechanism 4, a grouping mechanism 8 sorts the batteries on the chain conveyor 5 according to certain standards. The batteries are grouped and assembled on the grading conveyor 7, and then the grading conveyor 7 is used to transport the grading batteries to the unloading mechanism 9. The unloading mechanism 9 then transports the batteries of the same grade one by one to the next process. When all the batteries on one chain conveyor 5 have been transported, the other chain conveyor 5 is also full of the batteries that have completed the inspection. Then, the grouping mechanism 8 sorts and groups the batteries on the other chain conveyor 5 according to certain standards on the grading conveyor 7. At the same time, the loading mechanism 1 transfers the batteries on the battery tray 3 to a testing mechanism 4, and the testing mechanism 4 is used to inspect the batteries. The pushing mechanism 6 pushes the groups of the inspected batteries from the testing mechanism 4 to the chain conveyor 5. This not only effectively improves the efficiency of battery grading and grouping, but also ensures the battery production efficiency.

[0054] Based on Example 2, as follows Figure 3 and Figure 10-12As shown, the testing mechanism 4 includes a base support frame 401 located below the support frame 102; the bottom of the base support frame 401 is bolted to the ground; a conventional first belt conveyor 402 and a conventional second belt conveyor 403 are horizontally mounted side-by-side on the upper part of the base support frame 401, with the conveying direction of the first belt conveyor 402 parallel to the conveying direction of the second belt conveyor 403; a housing 404 is bolted to the upper part of the base support frame 401; the housing 404 is located at the output end of the first belt conveyor 402 or the input end of the second belt conveyor 403, and the side of the housing 404 closest to the output end of the first belt conveyor 402 or the input end of the second belt conveyor 403 is open; A conventional testing instrument 418 is placed on the top wall of housing 404; the testing instrument 418 is used to detect the battery's voltage and internal resistance information; a pair of vertically distributed limiting rods 405 are connected between opposite side walls of housing 404, and the limiting rods 405 are bolted to housing 404; the length direction of both limiting rods 405 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first belt conveyor 402; a second cylinder 406 and a third cylinder 407 are horizontally arranged between the two limiting rods 405; the second cylinder 406 and the third cylinder 407 are respectively bolted to opposite side walls of housing 404; the extension and retraction direction of the output end of the second cylinder 406 is parallel to the conveying direction of the first belt conveyor 402, and the second cylinder 406 is located at the first... At the output end of a belt conveyor 402; the output end of a second cylinder 406 is bolted to a stop bar 408 parallel to a limit bar 405; a third cylinder 407 is located at the input end of a second belt conveyor 403, and the extension / retraction direction of the output end of the third cylinder 407 is parallel to the length direction of the limit bar 405; the output end of the third cylinder 407 slides through one side wall of the housing 404 and is vertically bolted to a slide plate 410; multiple guide rods 409 parallel to the limit bar 405 slide through the slide plate 410; the two ends of the multiple guide rods 409 are respectively bolted to opposite side walls of the housing 404; a fourth cylinder 411 is horizontally bolted to the lower part of the slide plate 410; the output end of the fourth cylinder 411 extends / retracts... The direction is parallel to the extension and retraction direction of the output end of the second cylinder 406; the output end of the fourth cylinder 411 is vertically bolted to a transmission plate 412; a first push plate 413 parallel to the slide plate 410 is vertically welded to one side of the transmission plate 412; the first push plate 413 can push the battery on the first belt conveyor 402 to the second belt conveyor 403; an L-shaped plate 414 is bolted to the upper part of the slide plate 410; a fifth cylinder 415 is vertically bolted to the vertical section of the L-shaped plate 414; a support plate 416 is horizontally bolted to the output end of the fifth cylinder 415; the support plate 416 is located between the fifth cylinder 415 and the first push plate 413; a pair of conventional detection heads 417 in the art are vertically fixed and inserted on the support plate 416;The lower ends of the two detection heads 417 can be connected to the positive and negative terminals of the battery pushed by the first push plate 413, respectively; the upper ends of the two detection heads 417 are connected to the detector 418 via wires. In use, the batteries in the battery tray 3 are grouped and placed on the first belt conveyor 402 by the vacuum suction cup 121, and the battery group arrangement direction on the first belt conveyor 402 is parallel to the conveying direction of the first belt conveyor 402. The first belt conveyor 402 is used to transport multiple batteries sequentially to the limit rod 405, and at this time the battery closest to the limit rod 405 is located between the first push plate 413 and the second belt conveyor 403. This battery abuts against the stop rod 408, and the detection head 417 is driven downward by the fifth cylinder 415 via the support plate 416. This causes the lower ends of the two detection heads 417 to contact the positive and negative terminals of the battery that are abutting against the transmission plate 412, respectively. The battery is then tested using a testing instrument. Simultaneously, the third cylinder 407, via the slide plate 410, the fourth cylinder 411, and the transmission plate 412, drives the first push plate 413 to move linearly. This causes the first push plate 413 to push the battery being tested on the first belt conveyor 402 onto the second belt conveyor 403. Once the battery is on the second belt conveyor 403, the second cylinder 406 drives the stop lever 408 to move the battery onto the first belt conveyor 402. The infeed movement causes the battery on the first belt conveyor 402 to be blocked, maintaining a certain gap between the battery closest to the limit rod 405 on the first belt conveyor 402 and the limit rod 405. After the first push plate 413 completely pushes the battery being tested on the first belt conveyor 402 onto the second belt conveyor 403, the battery completes the test. Then, the fifth cylinder 415 drives the testing head 417 upward to reset via the support plate 416. At the same time, the second belt conveyor 403 conveys the tested battery downward to the pushing mechanism 6. Then, the third cylinder 407 drives... The first push plate 413 is reset, causing the battery closest to the limit rod 405 on the first belt conveyor 402 to be positioned between the first push plate 413 and the second belt conveyor 403. Simultaneously, the second cylinder 406 drives the stop rod 408 to reset, causing the battery closest to the limit rod 405 on the first belt conveyor 402 to contact one side of the transmission plate 412. This process is repeated, thus pushing the batteries from the first belt conveyor 402 one by one onto the second belt conveyor 403 and performing individual battery checks, effectively ensuring the efficiency and effectiveness of battery testing.

[0055] Example 4:

[0056] Based on Example 3, as follows Figure 4 and Figure 13As shown, the pushing mechanism 6 includes a bracket 601 bolted to the top of the support frame 2; a positioning plate 602 is horizontally bolted to the bracket 601; the positioning plate 602 is positioned above the output end of the second belt conveyor 403; a pair of second guide posts 603 parallel to the limit rod 405 are horizontally bolted to the upper surface of the positioning plate 602; a sixth cylinder 604 is horizontally bolted between the two second guide posts 603; a shift plate 605 is horizontally bolted to the output end of the sixth cylinder 604; the shift plate 605 is slidably connected to the two second guide posts 603; a pair of seventh cylinders 606 are vertically bolted to the upper surface of the shift plate 605; the output ends of the two seventh cylinders 606 slide through the shift plate 605 and are connected by a lifting plate 607; a second push plate 608 parallel to the first push plate 413 is vertically welded to one side of the lifting plate 607. In use, the seventh cylinder 606 drives the lifting plate 607 to move downward, causing the second push plate 608 to be positioned between the first belt conveyor 402 and the second belt conveyor 403. Then, the sixth cylinder 604, through the shifting plate 605, the seventh cylinder 606, and the lifting plate 607, drives the second push plate 608 to move along the length of the second guide post 603, causing the batteries on the second belt conveyor 403 to be pushed in groups onto the chain conveyor 5. The system is set to have six or eight batteries as a group, and the above actions are repeated to push multiple groups of tested batteries onto the chain conveyor 5, effectively ensuring the battery conveying efficiency.

[0057] Example 5:

[0058] Based on Example 4, as follows Figure 4-5 and Figure 14-17As shown, the grading conveying mechanism 7 includes a roller conveyor 701 horizontally mounted on the support frame 2; the roller conveyor 701 is a conventional structure in the art; the conveying direction of the roller conveyor 701 is parallel to the conveying direction of the chain conveyor 5; multiple dividing rods 702 are bolted side by side above the roller conveyor 701; the length direction of the multiple dividing rods 702 is parallel to the conveying direction of the roller conveyor 701, and a battery accommodating space is formed between two adjacent dividing rods 702; the grouping mechanism 8 includes a pair of horizontal bolts connected to a mounting plate on the top of the support frame 2. The mounting strip 801 and a third rotating shaft 802 and a side support 803 are arranged side by side between the two mounting strips 801; the length direction of the two mounting strips 801 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the chain conveyor 5; the upper surface of the two mounting strips 801 is horizontally bolted with a third guide rail 804 perpendicular to the second guide post 603; the third rotating shaft 802 is arranged parallel to the limiting rod 405; the third rotating shaft 802 and the side support 803 are respectively arranged above the two chain conveyors 5; both ends of the third rotating shaft 802 are rotatably connected with positioning blocks 805; the two positioning blocks 805 and the side support 803 are arranged side by side support 803. All support frames 803 are bolted to the support frame 2; a pair of first pulleys 806 are keyed side-by-side on the third rotating shaft 802; a fourth motor 807 is bolted to the side support frame 803; the output end of the fourth motor 807 is fixed to a fourth rotating shaft 808 parallel to the third rotating shaft 802; a pair of second pulleys 809 are keyed side-by-side on the fourth rotating shaft 808; the two second pulleys 809 and the two first pulleys 806 are respectively connected by synchronous belts 810; the two synchronous belts 810 are connected by a transmission frame 811; the transmission frame 811 is bolted to the two synchronous belts 810. On the upper part; the transmission frame 811 is slidably connected to the two third guide rails 804; multiple eighth cylinders 812 are vertically bolted side by side along the axial direction of the third rotating shaft 802 on the transmission frame 811; the output ends of the multiple eighth cylinders 812 are all horizontally bolted to bidirectional cylinders 813; the multiple bidirectional cylinders 813 are all located below the transmission frame 811, and the extension and retraction direction of the output end of any bidirectional cylinder 813 is parallel to the conveying direction of the chain plate conveyor 5; the two output ends of the multiple bidirectional cylinders 813 are vertically bolted to clamps 814 parallel to the second push plate 608.In use, once any chain conveyor 5 is filled with batteries that have completed testing, the fourth motor 807 drives the synchronous belt 810 via the fourth shaft 808, the third shaft 802, the first pulley 806, and the second pulley 809. This causes the synchronous belt 810 to drive the transmission frame 811 to move along the length of the third guide rail 804. The eighth cylinder 812 then drives the bidirectional cylinder 813 to move downwards, causing the two clamping plates 814 on the bidirectional cylinder 813 to be positioned on opposite sides of the battery directly below the bidirectional cylinder 813. The bidirectional cylinder 813 then drives the two clamping plates 814 to move linearly, clamping the battery. The eighth cylinder 812 then drives the bidirectional cylinder 813 to return to its original position, and the transmission frame 811 drives the clamped battery to move linearly. This allows batteries of the same grade to be placed in the same battery storage space according to certain standards, thereby achieving battery grading and grouping and effectively ensuring the efficiency of battery grading and grouping.

[0059] Among them, such as Figure 17-18As shown, the feeding mechanism 9 includes a third belt conveyor 901, a fourth belt conveyor 902, and a fifth belt conveyor 903 arranged side-by-side along the conveying direction of the roller conveyor 701; the third belt conveyor 901, the fourth belt conveyor 902, and the fifth belt conveyor 903 are all conventional structures in the art; the conveying directions of the third belt conveyor 901, the fourth belt conveyor 902, and the fifth belt conveyor 903 are all parallel to the conveying direction of the roller conveyor 701; multiple directional rods 904 are horizontally bolted side-by-side above the third belt conveyor 901; the length direction of the multiple directional rods 904 is parallel to the conveying direction of the roller conveyor 701, and a battery conveying space is formed between two adjacent directional rods 904; multiple The battery conveying space corresponds one-to-one with multiple battery accommodating spaces; multiple conventional blockers 905 are installed side-by-side between the third belt conveyor 901 and the fourth belt conveyor 902; the multiple blockers 905 correspond one-to-one with multiple battery conveying spaces; the blocker 905 includes a cylinder vertically bolted between the third belt conveyor 901 and the fourth belt conveyor 902 and a block plate vertically bolted to the output end of the cylinder; a pair of guide plates 906 are vertically bolted above the fifth belt conveyor 903; the distance between the ends of the two guide plates 906 closest to the fourth belt conveyor 902 is greater than the distance between the ends of the two guide plates 906 furthest from the fourth belt conveyor 902, the purpose of this design is to ensure that the fifth belt conveyor 903 can only output one battery at a time. In use, while the grouping mechanism 8 transfers the batteries from the chain conveyor 5 to the roller conveyor 701, the roller conveyor 701 also transports the grouped batteries to the third belt conveyor 901. Only one stopper 905 is released at a time. At this time, the third belt conveyor 901 transports the batteries in the battery transport space corresponding to the stopper 905 to the fourth belt conveyor 902 in a group. A group of batteries can be set to include six or eight batteries. The fourth belt conveyor 902 then transports the batteries to the fifth belt conveyor 903, and the fifth belt conveyor 903 then transports the batteries to the next process, thereby realizing the transport of batteries in the same batch and effectively ensuring the graded transport effect of batteries.

[0060] A method of using the automatic battery grouping and matching device as described above includes the following steps:

[0061] Step 1: The battery tray 3 carrying the battery is placed under the support frame 102, and then the XYZ moving platform 103 drives the suction component 104 to move to place the battery on the battery tray 3 onto the first belt conveyor 402 of a detection mechanism 4.

[0062] Step 2: The battery is transported to the position corresponding to the first push plate 413 of the first detection mechanism 4 via the first belt conveyor 402. The capacity information of the battery is collected and transmitted to the control cabinet 10. Then, the battery is pushed horizontally from the first belt conveyor 402 to the second belt conveyor 403 of the first detection mechanism 4 via the first push plate 413. At the same time, the lower ends of the two detection heads 417 of the first detection mechanism 4 are brought into contact with the positive and negative terminals of the battery, so that the detector 418 of the first detection mechanism 4 can perform voltage and internal resistance detection on the battery. The battery capacity information can be input by spraying a QR code containing the battery capacity information on the top of the battery and reading the QR code, or by manually inputting the battery capacity information.

[0063] Step 3: When the battery is pushed onto the second belt conveyor 403 of the detection mechanism 4 by the first push plate 413, the first push plate 413 and the detection head 417 of the detection mechanism 4 are reset. At the same time, the detector 418 of the detection mechanism 4 transmits the battery's voltage and internal resistance information to the control cabinet 10. Then, the control cabinet 10 binds the battery's capacity, voltage, internal resistance and serial number and identifies the battery's grade information. Among them, batteries with similar capacity, voltage and internal resistance information are set to the same grade. For example, two batteries with similar capacity, voltage and internal resistance can be classified into the same grade. By designing multiple different grades, the batteries can be classified. In addition, the battery serial number is the detection serial number of the battery by the detector 418.

[0064] Step 4: Repeat steps 2 to 3 to arrange multiple completed batteries in a row on the second belt conveyor 403 of the testing mechanism 4 according to the set number;

[0065] Step 5: The row of batteries from the second belt conveyor 403 of the detection mechanism 4 is pushed onto the chain plate conveyor 5 by a pushing mechanism 6. Then, the row of batteries on the chain plate conveyor 5 is transported to the side away from the detection mechanism 4, and the batteries are aligned with the grouping mechanism 8.

[0066] Step 6: Repeat the operation of Step 5 to fill the chain conveyor 5 with batteries; then set the number of battery groups and the number of batteries in a single group through the control cabinet 10, and group batteries of the same gear but different positions into one group through the control cabinet 10; the number of battery groups corresponds to the gear information of the battery, for example, if five battery gears are set, then the number of battery groups is set to five.

[0067] Step 7: The fourth motor 807 drives the transmission frame 811 to move linearly, causing the eighth cylinder 812 to move to the designated position. Then, the eighth cylinder 812 drives the bidirectional cylinder 813 to move downward. After the two clamping plates 814 on the bidirectional cylinder 813 clamp the battery, the eighth cylinder 812 drives the battery to move upward. Then, the synchronous belt 810 drives the battery to move horizontally to the top of the designated battery housing space. Then, the eighth cylinder 812 drives the bidirectional cylinder 813 to move downward. The two clamping plates 814 on the bidirectional cylinder 813 release the battery, thus placing batteries of the same grade in the same battery housing space.

[0068] Step 8: Repeat the operation of Step 7 to transfer the batteries on the chain conveyor 5 to the roller conveyor 701, and at the same time, the roller conveyor 701 transports the batteries to the third belt conveyor 901; when the number of batteries in any battery transport space on the third belt conveyor 901 reaches the set number of batteries per group, the stopper 905 corresponding to the battery transport space is released, and the batteries in the battery transport space are then transported to the next process via the fourth belt conveyor 902 and the fifth belt conveyor 903 through the third belt conveyor 901.

[0069] Step 9: During the process of transferring the batteries from the first chain conveyor 5 to the roller conveyor 701, the first detection mechanism 4 stops feeding batteries, and at the same time, the feeding mechanism 1 starts to transport the batteries to another detection mechanism 4; the other detection mechanism 4 repeats the operations of the first detection mechanism 4 from step 2 to step 4 above, and the other pushing mechanism 6 repeats the operations of the first pushing mechanism 6 from step 5 above; then, after all the batteries on the first chain conveyor 5 have been transferred to the roller conveyor 701 and the other chain conveyor 5 is full of batteries, the operations of the other chain conveyor 5 as in steps 7 to 8 are performed;

[0070] Step 10: Repeat steps 1 to 9 to achieve automatic battery grouping and matching.

[0071] Among them, such as Figure 11 As shown, a conventional barcode reader 418 is installed above the output end of the first belt conveyor 402; the barcode reader 418 is bolted to the top wall of the housing 404. In use, a QR code containing the battery's capacity information can be sprayed onto the top of the battery. When the battery is conveyed to the output end of the first belt conveyor 402, the barcode reader 418 reads the QR code on the battery and sends the information back to the control cabinet 10. The detection head 417 then detects the battery's voltage and internal resistance information. The control cabinet 10 then binds the battery's capacity, voltage, internal resistance, and serial number together, thereby accelerating the battery detection efficiency. Alternatively, the battery's capacity information can be manually entered into the control cabinet 10.

10. A method of using the automatic battery sorting and grouping device as described in claim 9, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: Step 1: The battery tray (3) carrying the battery is placed under the support frame (102), and the battery on the battery tray (3) is placed on the first belt conveyor (402) of a detection mechanism (4) by the movement of the suction component (104) driven by the XYZ moving platform (103). Step 2: The battery is transported to the position corresponding to the first push plate (413) of the first detection mechanism (4) via the first belt conveyor (402) of the first detection mechanism (4). The capacity information of the battery is first input into the control cabinet (10). Then, the battery is pushed from the first belt conveyor (402) of the first detection mechanism (4) to the second belt conveyor (403) of the first detection mechanism (4) via the first push plate (413). At the same time, the lower ends of the two detection heads (417) of the first detection mechanism (4) are brought into contact with the positive and negative terminals of the battery respectively, so that the detector (418) of the first detection mechanism (4) can perform voltage and internal resistance detection on the battery. The input method of the battery capacity information includes spraying a QR code containing the battery capacity information on the top of the battery and reading the QR code to realize the input of the battery capacity information or manually inputting the battery capacity information. Step 3: When the battery is pushed onto the second belt conveyor (403) of the first testing mechanism (4) by the first push plate (413) of the first testing mechanism (4), the first push plate (413) and the testing head (417) of the first testing mechanism (4) are reset respectively. At the same time, the testing instrument (418) of the first testing mechanism (4) transmits the battery's voltage information and internal resistance information to the control cabinet (10). Then, the control cabinet (10) binds the battery's capacity information, voltage information, internal resistance information and battery serial number and identifies the battery's gear information. Step 4: Repeat steps 2 to 3 to arrange multiple completed batteries in a row on the second belt conveyor (403) of the first detection mechanism (4) according to the set number; Step 5: Push the row of batteries from the second belt conveyor (403) of the detection mechanism (4) onto the chain plate conveyor (5) through a pushing mechanism (6), and then transport the row of batteries on it away from the detection mechanism (4) through the chain plate conveyor (5), so that the batteries correspond to the positions of the matching mechanism (8). Step 6: Repeat the operation of step 5 to fill the chain conveyor (5) with batteries; then set the number of battery groups and the number of batteries in a single group through the control cabinet (10), and group batteries of the same grade but different positions into a group through the control cabinet (10). Step 7: The fourth motor (807) drives the transmission frame (811) to move linearly, causing the eighth cylinder (812) to move to the designated position. Then, the eighth cylinder (812) drives the bidirectional cylinder (813) to move downward. After the two clamps (814) on the bidirectional cylinder (813) clamp the battery, the eighth cylinder (812) drives the battery to move upward. Then, the synchronous belt (810) drives the battery to move horizontally to the top of the designated battery storage space. Then, the eighth cylinder (812) drives the bidirectional cylinder (813) to move downward. The two clamps (814) on the bidirectional cylinder (813) release the battery, thus placing batteries of the same grade in the same battery storage space. Step 8: Repeat the operation of step 7 to transfer the batteries on the chain conveyor (5) to the roller conveyor (701), and at the same time, transport the batteries to the third belt conveyor (901) through the roller conveyor (701); when the number of batteries in any battery transport space on the third belt conveyor (901) reaches the set number of batteries per group, the blocker (905) corresponding to the battery transport space is released, and the batteries in the battery transport space are then transported to the next process through the fourth belt conveyor (902) and the fifth belt conveyor (903) through the third belt conveyor (901); Step 9: During the process of transferring the batteries from the chain conveyor (5) to the roller conveyor (701), the detection mechanism (4) stops feeding batteries, and at the same time the feeding mechanism (1) starts to transport the batteries to another detection mechanism (4); the other detection mechanism (4) repeats the above-mentioned steps 2 to 4 of the first detection mechanism (4), and the other pushing mechanism (6) repeats the above-mentioned step 5 of the first pushing mechanism (6); then, after all the batteries on the chain conveyor (5) have been transferred to the roller conveyor (701) and the other chain conveyor (5) is full of batteries, the other chain conveyor (5) is operated as in steps 7 to 8.
