Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model mainly relates to the technical field of battery cell sorting, and in particular to a battery cell sorting machine. Background Art

[0002] A battery cell refers to a single electrochemical cell containing positive and negative electrodes, which is generally not used directly. It is different from a battery which contains a protection circuit and a shell and can be used directly. Battery cells are divided into three types: aluminum shell batteries, soft-pack batteries, and cylindrical batteries. Usually mobile phone batteries use aluminum shell batteries, Bluetooth and other digital products mostly use soft-pack batteries, and laptop batteries use a series-parallel combination of cylindrical cells. Battery cells usually need to be classified and packaged after manufacturing.

[0003] The inventor discovered the following defects during the operation of the specific embodiment:

[0004] With the advancement of technology, a QR code can now record all the information of a product. The above problems can be solved by scanning and sorting. However, most of the current scanning and sorting machines have low sorting efficiency and the position of the code machine is fixed, resulting in poor recognition rate of the scanned code, which may lead to failure to recognize or inaccurate recognition. After searching, for example, patent application number CN202022927417.6 discloses an automatic cell sorting machine with a shielding code scanning mechanism, which includes: a base plate, a feeding mechanism and an adjusting mechanism; base plate: a bracket is arranged on the left side of its upper surface, and a mounting slot plate is arranged on the upper surface of the bracket, and two rotating shafts are connected to the inner groove of the upper end of the mounting slot plate for symmetrical rotation front and back, and the left side of the rotating shaft at the front end is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the stepper motor arranged at the left end of the mounting slot plate, and the two rotating shafts are driven by a conveyor belt, and partitions are evenly arranged on the outer side of the conveyor belt, and a slide plate is arranged at the right opening of the mounting slot plate; feeding mechanism: rotatably connected to the inside of the U-shaped seat on the right side of the upper surface of the base plate, and the upper end of the feeding mechanism is slidably connected to the slide slot in the middle of the slide slot plate; adjusting mechanism: arranged at the front end of the upper surface of the mounting slot plate, and a code scanner is installed at the lower end of the adjusting mechanism; the automatic cell sorting machine with a shielding code scanning mechanism can improve the sorting efficiency and improve the recognition rate of code scanning. Although the battery cells are transported by a feeding mechanism in this application, the battery cells need to be placed manually one by one, and the feeding mechanism needs to return to its original position to transport the battery cells, so the feeding efficiency is low.

[0028] In this embodiment, a resistance plate 10 is provided on the inner side of the storage box 3, and the resistance plate 10 is connected to one side of the inner wall of the storage box 3 through two springs 11.
