Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery acid transfer equipment technology, specifically to an intelligent battery acid transfer device with visual detection function. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process of storage batteries (especially lead-acid batteries), the acid draining process is one of the core steps. Its main function is to drain the excess electrolyte (dilute sulfuric acid solution) inside the battery, so that the electrolyte content inside the battery is maintained within the preset standard range, which directly affects the battery's capacity, lifespan and safety performance.

[0003] Currently, most battery manufacturers still use traditional manual operation for their acid-discharging process. The specific process is as follows: batteries delivered from the production line need to be manually moved by operators onto a special flipping fixture, their posture is manually adjusted and they are positioned and fixed. Then, the acid discharging action is completed by manually operating the flipping fixture. After the acid discharging is completed, the batteries are removed from the fixture and returned to the production line by hand. At the same time, the control of the amount of acid discharging depends entirely on the operator's experience, there is no accurate detection method, and the quality indicators such as the appearance of the battery after acid discharging (such as acid residue, shell damage) and the consistency of acid discharging need to be manually inspected by the naked eye, without an effective traceability mechanism.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field to improve the battery acid transfer equipment in order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology. Summary of the Invention

[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-8A smart battery acid-discharging device with visual detection function includes a feeding rack 1, a tilting rack 2, and a discharging rack 3 connected in sequence and adapted to the battery body 9. A rotating shaft 4 is rotatably connected to the upper part of the tilting rack 2, and a support frame 5 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the rotating shaft 4. Several first drive rollers 6 are provided inside the support frame 5. A reduction gearbox 7 adapted to the rotating shaft 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the tilting rack 2. A drive component 8 is provided on the side of the reduction gearbox 7. Two symmetrical acid-discharging tanks 10 adapted to the support frame 5 are provided inside the tilting rack 2. An industrial camera 11 is installed at the top inside the tilting rack 2. The flipping frame 2 has a photo display terminal 12 electrically connected to the industrial camera 11 on one side; the upper part of the support frame 5 has a clamping unit adapted to the battery body 9; the upper part of the feeding frame 1 has several second drive rollers 14 adapted to the first drive roller 6; the upper part of the discharging frame 3 has several third drive rollers 15 adapted to the first drive roller 6; both the feeding frame 1 and the support frame 5 have two symmetrical positioning rods 16 on the upper part; the clamping unit includes a first telescopic cylinder 17 fixedly installed on the upper part of the support frame 5 and having a telescopic effect; the first telescopic cylinder 17 drives the positioning rods 16 to move.

[0024] Specifically, after the battery body 9 is filled with acid, it is conveyed to the upper part of the feeding rack 1 by a conveying device, and then conveyed by the second drive roller 14. The feeding rack 1, the support rack 5, and the discharge rack 3 are all equipped with drive devices (such as drive motors, sprockets, and chains) for synchronously driving the rotation of several second drive rollers 14, first drive rollers 6, and third drive rollers 15. The second drive rollers 14 convey the battery body 9 to the upper part of the support rack 5. When the battery body 9 is conveyed to the designated position, the first drive roller 6 stops conveying. In practice, the position of the battery body 9 on the first drive roller 6 can be positioned by a sensor. The first telescopic cylinder 17 is activated, and the telescopic end of the first telescopic cylinder 17 drives the positioning rod 16 to move. The two positioning rods 16 clamp the battery body 9. Then, the drive component 8 is activated, and the drive component 8 drives the reduction gearbox 7. The output end of the reduction gearbox 7 drives the rotating shaft 4 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 4 drives the support rack 5 to rotate. The angle of the battery body 9 is then adjusted to pour excess acid into the acid dumping tank 10. The flipping angle is preset according to the product model and can be selected directly on the screen during production without secondary input. After flipping to the set angle, the industrial camera 11 takes a picture. After taking the picture, it is compared with the qualified picture through the internal program (the comparison rules can be customized). If the comparison is successful, an "OK" signal is output; if the comparison fails, an "NG" signal is output. The above settings can be programmed through the camera display terminal 12, and the data is transmitted to the database through a local server. The data is packaged and sent to the backend server through the company's intranet, and the data is displayed on the developed client. After the product is qualified, the carrier 5 rotates to the horizontal position again, the first drive roller 6 starts, and the battery body 9 is transported to the third drive roller 15 and output. Through visual inspection and intelligent operation, the efficiency and quality of battery flipping and acid dumping are improved.

[0025] As a technical optimization of the present invention, several symmetrical fixed plates 18 are fixedly installed on the sides of the feeding rack 1 and the bearing rack 5. A movable plate 19 is provided on one side of the fixed plate 18. A sliding frame 20 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the movable plate 19. A sliding plate 21 that penetrates the sliding frame 20 is fixedly installed on one side of the positioning rod 16. A first adjustment groove 22 is provided through the sliding plate 21. A first locking member 23 that is adapted to the first adjustment groove 22 and is threaded to the bottom of the sliding frame 20 at one end is provided on the upper part of the sliding plate 21. Several second adjustment grooves 24 are provided through the side of the movable plate 19. Several second locking members 25 that are threaded to the side of the fixed plate 18 at one end are provided in the second adjustment grooves 24.

[0026] Specifically, by sliding the sliding plate 21 within the sliding frame 20, the position of the positioning rod 16 on the feed frame 1 and the support frame 5 can be adjusted. One end of the first locking member 23 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the sliding frame 20, locking the first locking member 23 to limit and fix the horizontal position of the positioning rod 16. The moving plate 19 can slide on the side of the fixed plate 18, and the second locking member 25 slides within the second adjustment groove 24, allowing the height position of the moving plate 19 to be adjusted, thus adjusting the height position of the positioning rod 16. One end of the positioning rod 16 is triangular, which facilitates the positioning and conveying of the battery body 9 during the conveying process, improving the conveying effect of the battery body 9.

[0027] As a technical optimization of the present invention, an auxiliary frame 26 is also included, which is located on one side of the discharge rack 3 and adapted to the discharge rack 3. A second telescopic cylinder 27 with a telescopic effect is fixedly installed on the upper side of the discharge rack 3, and a push plate 28 is fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the second telescopic cylinder 27. When the industrial camera 11 detects that the battery body 9 does not meet the factory conditions, when the battery body 9 is conveyed to the discharge rack 3, the second telescopic cylinder 27 is activated. The telescopic end of the second telescopic cylinder 27 drives the push plate 28 to move, pushing the battery body 9 onto the auxiliary frame 26, so as to facilitate the removal of the unqualified battery body 9.

[0028] As a technical optimization of the present invention, a fixed rod 29 is fixedly installed at the top of the flipping frame 2. A first sliding seat 30 with adjustable position is provided on the side of the fixed rod 29. A first sliding rod 31 with vertical orientation passes through the upper part of the first sliding seat 30. A second sliding seat 32 with adjustable position is provided on the side of the first sliding rod 31. A second sliding rod 33 with horizontal orientation passes through the side of the second sliding seat 32. A third sliding seat 34 with adjustable position is provided on the side of the second sliding rod 33. A third sliding rod 35 with horizontal orientation passes through the side of the third sliding seat 34. A fourth sliding seat 36 with adjustable position is provided on the side of the third sliding rod 35. A connecting frame 37 is provided on one side of the fourth sliding seat 36. An industrial camera 11 is fixedly installed at the lower part of the connecting frame 37. The connecting frame 37 is rotatably connected to one side of the fourth sliding seat 36. An arc-shaped groove 39 is opened through the side of the connecting frame 37. A connecting plate 38 is provided on one side of the connecting frame 37.

[0029] Specifically, when inspecting battery bodies 9 of different sizes, the position of the industrial camera 11 needs to be adjusted. The first sliding seat 30, second sliding seat 32, third sliding seat 34, and fourth sliding seat 36 are all equipped with fastening bolts on their sides. Tightening these bolts fixes the positions of the first sliding seat 30, second sliding seat 32, third sliding seat 34, and fourth sliding seat 36. The first sliding seat 30 slides on the side of the fixing rod 29, the first sliding rod 31 slides on the first sliding seat 30, the second sliding seat 32 slides on the side of the first sliding rod 31, the second sliding rod 33 slides on the second sliding seat 32, and the third sliding... The seat 34 slides on the side of the second sliding rod 33, the third sliding rod 35 slides on the third sliding seat 34, and the fourth sliding seat 36 slides on the side of the third sliding rod 35. This allows for adjustment and fixation of the industrial camera 11 in both the lateral and longitudinal directions. The connecting frame 37 can rotate on the side of the fourth sliding seat 36. A bolt passes through the side of the fourth sliding seat 36 and is inserted into the arc-shaped groove 39. One end of the bolt is threaded to the connecting plate 38. This allows for angle adjustment of the connecting frame 37 along the arc-shaped groove 39, enabling adjustment of the lateral, longitudinal, and angular directions of the industrial camera 11. This also allows for the detection of lead-acid batteries of different sizes and positions.
