Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of lithium battery processing technology, specifically to a lithium battery packaging and encapsulation device. Background Technology

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries are a type of battery that uses lithium metal or lithium alloys as positive / negative electrode materials and a non-aqueous electrolyte solution. With the development of science and technology, lithium-ion batteries have become mainstream. Due to the highly reactive chemical properties of lithium metal, its processing, storage, and use require very strict environmental conditions. Therefore, in the lithium-ion battery production process, a final encapsulation process is necessary.

[0003] Publication No. CN112103565A discloses a lithium battery packaging device and method, including a fixed frame, a drive frame, a bottom frame, an inner frame, and a movable frame. In this invention, the end cap is initially inserted into the top of the outer tube wall. A servo motor drives a drive wheel to rotate, and the drive wheel, while rotating, drives a threaded rod to rotate via a transmission wheel. A lifting plate moves upward on the threaded rod, and the outer tube wall follows suit. The upward movement of the lifting plate drives the movement of the socket, and the outer tube wall follows suit. A hydraulic drive rod pushes the sleeve frame via a linkage plate. The middle partition and annular ring within the sleeve frame... The gasket presses the end cap downwards, causing the mounting plate to fully enter the annular groove, thus sealing the end cap against the outer tube wall. While this structure can completely encapsulate the lithium battery, maintaining its internal seal and accelerating the encapsulation process, in practice, the lithium battery needs to be installed in the mounting socket before encapsulation. After encapsulation, workers must pause the process, remove the encapsulated batteries one by one, and then reinstall the unencapsulated batteries in the mounting socket. This repetitive process does not significantly improve the convenience of loading and unloading, and reduces the efficiency of the encapsulation device. Summary of the Invention

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a lithium battery packaging and encapsulation device. When the clamping groove rotates the lithium battery to the same position as the discharge port, the lithium battery falls from the discharge port into the unloading hopper, achieving automatic unloading. This eliminates the need for operators to pause the packaging process to remove the lithium batteries before reinstalling and encapsulating them, improving packaging quality. The device also provides some protection during packaging and achieves automation, solving the problem of requiring lithium batteries to be installed in sockets before encapsulation, followed by packaging. After packaging, operators need to pause the process, remove the encapsulated batteries one by one, and then reinstall the unencapsulated batteries, repeating this process repeatedly. This inefficient process hinders convenient loading and unloading and reduces the working efficiency of the packaging device.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a lithium battery packaging and encapsulation device, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. This lithium battery packaging and encapsulation device uses a transmission motor to drive a linkage shaft, which in turn drives a linkage gear. This linkage shaft, in turn, drives the rotating gear, which in turn drives the rotating shaft to rotate a rotating disk. When an operator inserts an unencapsulated lithium battery into a clamping slot on the rotating disk, the rotating disk moves the lithium battery sequentially, allowing it to be encapsulated by the packaging components. Simultaneously, a clamping plate and limiting springs are included. When the lithium battery is clamped by the clamping plate, the clamping plate presses against the limiting springs on both sides, causing the limiting springs to push back against the clamping plate due to their elastic potential energy, resulting in a tighter clamping. After encapsulation, the lithium battery is pushed to the surface of the limiting disk through a discharge port. When the clamping slot rotates the lithium battery to the same position as the discharge port, the lithium battery falls into the hopper, achieving automatic discharge. This eliminates the need for operators to pause the packaging process to remove the lithium battery and then re-encapsulate it, thus improving packaging quality.

[0016] 2. This lithium battery packaging and encapsulation device, after sensing the lithium battery with an infrared sensor, controls a servo motor to drive the drive shaft to rotate. The drive shaft drives a cam to push the connecting plate downwards, causing the encapsulation plate to move downwards as well. This allows the encapsulation block to encapsulate the lithium battery inside the clamping slot. The encapsulation plate slides on the surface of the connecting rod, and the buffer spring provides a limiting function to protect the lithium battery during encapsulation, preventing damage to the encapsulation block and the lithium battery due to the force of the encapsulation block. After one lithium battery encapsulation is completed, the return spring on the surface of the limiting rod pushes the connecting plate back due to elastic potential energy, thus enabling the next encapsulation process. This achieves automation of the device. Attached Figure Description

The replacement shaft 28 is driven to rotate by the drive shaft 203. The replacement shaft 28 drives the first bevel gear 30 to rotate and transmits the second bevel gear 31 to rotate. The second bevel gear 31 drives the threaded rod 29 to rotate, causing the threaded sleeves 32 and the threaded rod 29 to move in a threaded connection. The connecting plate 210 drives the packaging block 214 to move up and down to package the lithium battery.

[0023] Working principle: After the operator connects the device to a power source, they insert an unsealed lithium battery into the clamping slot 18. Because the surface of the clamping plate 20 is inclined, the lithium battery moves outward by pressing against the clamping plates 20 on both sides. This causes the clamping plates 20 to press against the limiting spring 21. The limiting spring 21, due to its elastic potential energy, pushes back, causing the clamping plates 20 to hold the lithium battery. Then, the drive motor is started, driving the linkage shaft 11 to rotate. This causes the linkage shaft 11 to drive the linkage gear 14 to rotate, and the linkage shaft 11 and gear 14 mesh with the drive gear 13 for transmission. The transmission gear 13 drives the rotating gear 12 to rotate. Since the rotating gear 12 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 8, the rotation of the rotating gear 12 drives the rotating shaft 8 to rotate. Since the rotating disk 9 is fixed to the upper end of the rotating shaft 8, the rotation of the rotating shaft 8 drives the rotating disk 9 to rotate. Since the linkage gear 14 is set as a half gear, each time it meshes with the linkage gear 14, the transmission gear 13 has a larger gear size than the linkage gear 14 and the rotating gear 12, and plays a transmission effect in the overall rotation. When the linkage gear 14 meshes with the transmission gear 13 and rotates, the transmission gear 13 only rotates a small distance. At the same time, the transmission gear 13 synchronously drives the rotating gear 12 to rotate a small distance, so that the rotating gear 12 drives the rotating disk 9 to rotate a small angle through the rotating shaft 8. When the infrared sensor 205 senses the lithium battery, it controls the servo motor 207 to start. The servo motor 207 drives the drive shaft 203 to rotate. When the drive shaft 203 rotates, it drives the cam 204 on the surface to rotate, pushing the connecting plate 210 through the sliding block 209 in the drive groove 2. 08. Internal sliding, the connecting plate 210 moves downward, causing the encapsulation plate 213 to move. The encapsulation block 214 on the lower surface of the encapsulation plate 213 contacts and encapsulates the lithium battery surface. At the same time, the encapsulation block 214 pushes the encapsulation plate 213 to move on the surface of the connecting rod 212, compressing the buffer spring 215. Simultaneously, the encapsulation block 214 pushes the lithium battery downward. Since the clamping plate 20 is clamped in the middle of the lithium battery surface, when the encapsulation block 214 pushes the lithium battery downward and encapsulates it, the limiting disk 6 provides support for the lithium battery, allowing the encapsulation block 214 to move downward. The upper part of the lithium battery is encapsulated, while the middle part of the lithium battery is separated from the clamping plate 20. Since the clamping groove 18 has a certain depth, when the lithium battery leaves the surface of the clamping plate 20, the upper part of the lithium battery is still in the clamping groove 18 opened on the surface of the rotating disk 9. After one encapsulation is completed, the reset spring 211 pushes the connecting plate 210 back to its original position due to the elastic potential energy, completing one encapsulation. Then the drive motor drives the linkage shaft 11 to rotate and repeats this process. When the rotating disk 9 rotates, the upper part of the lithium battery is pushed by the inner wall of the clamping groove 18. When the clamping groove 18 coincides with the discharge port 15, the lithium battery loses support and falls into the hopper 16 through the discharge port 15, and is discharged through the discharge frame 17.

[0024] In summary, this lithium battery packaging and encapsulation device uses a drive motor to rotate the linkage shaft 11, which in turn drives the linkage gear 14. The linkage shaft 11, in turn, drives the rotating gear 12, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 8 to rotate the rotating disk 9. When an operator inserts an unencapsulated lithium battery into the clamping groove 18 on the surface of the rotating disk 9, the rotating disk 9 moves the lithium battery sequentially, allowing it to be encapsulated by the encapsulation component 2. Simultaneously, the clamping plate 20 and limiting springs 21, when the lithium battery is clamped by the clamping plate 20, compress the limiting springs 21 on both sides, causing the limiting springs 21 to push back against the clamping plate 20 due to their elastic potential energy, thus tightening the clamping. After encapsulation, the lithium battery is pushed to the surface of the limiting disk 6 through the discharge port 15. When the clamping groove 18 rotates the lithium battery to the same position as the discharge port 15, the lithium battery falls from the discharge port 15 into the feeding hopper. Within 16 minutes, automatic material unloading is achieved, eliminating the need for staff to pause the packaging process. The lithium battery is removed and then re-installed and packaged, improving packaging quality. When the infrared sensor 205 detects the lithium battery, the servo motor 207 drives the drive shaft 203 to rotate. The drive shaft 203 drives the cam 204 to push the connecting plate 210 downward, causing the packaging plate 213 to move downward. This allows the packaging block 214 to package the lithium battery inside the clamping slot 18. The packaging plate 213 slides on the surface of the connecting rod 212, and the buffer spring 215 provides protection during the packaging process, preventing damage to the packaging block 214 and the lithium battery due to the force of the packaging block 214. After one lithium battery packaging is completed, the return spring 211 on the surface of the limiting rod 202 pushes the connecting plate 210 back due to elastic potential energy, thus enabling the next packaging process. This achieves automation of the device.
