[0027] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The embodiment of the present application provides a lithium battery aluminum shell feeding circulation automatic roller line for conveying lithium battery aluminum shells, including multiple conveyor lines 1, blocking components 2 and transfer components. Multiple conveyor lines 1 are arranged in parallel along a first direction, and the conveyor line 1 includes multiple conveyor rollers 7 arranged at intervals along a second direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. The blocking component 2 is movably arranged on the conveyor line 1 along a third direction, and is used to block the aluminum shell. The third direction is perpendicular to the bearing surface formed by the multiple conveyor rollers 7. The transfer component is arranged on the conveyor line 1 in a one-to-one correspondence. The transfer component includes multiple conveyor belts 8, and the multiple conveyor belts 8 are arranged at intervals along the second direction. The conveyor belt 8 is arranged between two adjacent conveyor rollers 7, and the conveyor belt 8 is movably arranged on the conveyor line 1 along the third direction.

[0028] The conveyor line 1 may include a frame, and the conveyor roller 7 is rotatably connected to the frame.

[0029] The first direction may be the direction shown by the X-axis in the figure, the second direction may be the direction shown by the Y-axis in the figure, and the third direction may be the direction shown by the Z-axis in the figure. The first direction and the second direction may be parallel to the horizontal plane, the third direction may be parallel to the vertical plane, and the first direction, the second direction and the third direction may be perpendicular to each other.

[0030] The rotation axis of the conveying roller 7 may be perpendicular to the second direction, so that the aluminum shell can be moved along the second direction by the conveying roller 7 .

[0031] The driving structure of the conveying roller 7 is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0032] When the blocking component 2 moves along the third direction to a position higher than the bearing surface, the aluminum shell can be blocked by the blocking component 2. Conversely, when the blocking component 2 moves along the third direction to a position lower than the bearing surface, the aluminum shell can move along the conveyor line 1. The structure of the blocking component 2 can be selected from existing products and will not be described in detail here.

[0033] The aluminum shell on the conveying line 1 can be positioned by the blocking component 2, so that the material can be transferred through the transfer component.

[0034] The conveying direction of the conveyor belt 8 may be perpendicular to the second direction, or may form a certain angle with the second direction.

[0035] The conveyor belt 8 is arranged between two adjacent conveyor rollers 7, so that the belt surface of the conveyor belt 8 can move from between the two conveyor rollers 7 to a position higher than the bearing surface. At this time, the conveyor belt 8 can lift the aluminum shell placed on the conveyor line 1. When the belt 11 of the conveyor belt 8 rotates, the aluminum shell is transported by the conveyor belt 8, so that the conveying direction of the aluminum shell can be changed.

[0036] The conveyor lines 1 can be arranged in parallel in two, three or four.

[0037] On the one hand, the parallel arrangement of multiple conveyor lines 1 increases the number of aluminum shells that can be conveyed at the same time, thereby increasing the conveying efficiency. On the other hand, the transfer component and the blocking component 2 cooperate to allow the aluminum shells to be transferred between adjacent conveyor lines 1, or the aluminum shells can be moved through the transfer components of each conveyor line 1 in turn, which increases the material conveying direction compared to the traditional lithium battery aluminum shell feeding circulation automatic roller line.

[0038] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, a material support tray 5 is also included, and the material support tray 5 is placed on the conveyor line 1.

[0040] The supporting tray 5 can be made of plastic material.

[0041] See also Figure 3 In some embodiments, a plurality of photoelectric sensors 3 are arranged at intervals on the conveying line 1 along the second direction.

[0042] The photoelectric sensor 3 is used to detect the position of the aluminum shell on the conveyor line 1. The detection data of the photoelectric sensor 3 can provide a basis for the lifting and lowering timing of the blocking component 2 and the transfer component. The structure and working principle of the photoelectric sensor 3 are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be repeated here. In general, the photoelectric sensor 3 can be electrically connected to the processor, and the operation of the photoelectric sensor 3 is controlled by the processor. At the same time, the blocking component 2 and the transfer component can be electrically connected to the processor, and the operation of the two can be controlled according to the data of the photoelectric sensor 3. The specific way in which the processor controls the lifting and lowering of the blocking component 2 and the conveyor belt 8 and the conveying of materials by the conveyor belt 8 is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be repeated here.

[0043] See also Figure 3 In some embodiments, a proximity sensor 4 is provided at the end of the conveying line 1 along the second direction.

[0044] Correspondingly, a blocking component 2 may be provided at the end of the conveying line 1 .

[0045] The proximity sensor 4 can detect whether the aluminum shell moves to the end of the conveyor line 1. When the aluminum shell approaches the end of the conveyor line 1, the blocking component 2 at the end of the conveyor line 1 can be moved to a position higher than the bearing surface to block the aluminum shell, thereby reducing the risk of the aluminum shell falling from the conveyor line 1. The structure and working principle of the proximity sensor 4 are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here. In general, the proximity sensor 4 can be electrically connected to the processor, and the operation of the proximity sensor 4 is controlled by the processor. At the same time, according to the data of the proximity sensor 4, the processor can control the operation of the blocking component 2.

The belt 11 is wound around the peripheral wall surfaces of the plurality of pulleys 10.

[0047] The components for driving the pulley 10 to rotate can be selected from existing products and will not be described in detail here.

[0048] When the pulley 10 rotates, the belt 11 can move, and then the aluminum shell can move under the action of the belt 11 .

[0049] In some embodiments, the transfer assembly further comprises a lifting component 6 for moving the base 9 along a third direction.

[0050] The lifting component 6 can be a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, the cylinder body of the cylinder or hydraulic cylinder is connected to the conveyor line 1, and the telescopic end of the cylinder or hydraulic cylinder is connected to the base 9. The lifting component 6 allows the belt surface of the belt 11 to be higher than the load-bearing surface or lower than the load-bearing surface.

[0051] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the conveyor belt 8 further includes a tensioning component 12 for tightening the belt 11 .

[0052] The belt 11 is tightened by the tensioning component 12, thereby reducing the risk of slipping of the belt 11 and the pulley 10, thereby improving the transmission efficiency.

The tensioning arm 13 includes a plurality of inserting parts 15, which are arc-shaped structures adapted to the shape of the arc-shaped through slot 18, the center of the inserting part 15 is located at the reference axis, the inserting part 15 is inserted into the arc-shaped groove 21 via the arc-shaped through slot 18, the pushing part 22 abuts against the inserting part 15, and is used to move the inserting part 15 to the side of the arc-shaped through slot 18 away from the flared section 19, and the inserting part 15 is provided with a limiting part 16, which is configured to only pass through the flared section 19, and the limiting part 16 abuts against the side of the first wall facing the second wall. The tensioning wheel 14 is rotatably connected to the tensioning arm 13, abuts against the belt surface of the belt 11, and is used to tighten the belt 11.

[0054] The insertion portion 15 can pass through the arcuate through groove 18 from the flared section 19 of the arcuate through groove 18, so that the insertion portion 15 can be inserted into the arcuate groove 21. When the insertion portion 15 is inserted into the arcuate groove 21, the tensioning arm 13 is rotated. At this time, the limiting portion 16 and the flared section 19 of the insertion portion 15 are misaligned, and the limiting portion 16 abuts against the side of the first wall facing the second wall. At this time, the insertion portion 15 cannot be detached from the arcuate through groove 18.

[0055] The correspondence between the arcuate through groove 18 and the arcuate groove 21 means that the arcuate through groove 18 and the arcuate groove 21 are relative to each other along the reference axis, and the arcuate groove 21 and the arcuate through groove 18 have the same curvature, so that the insertion portion 15 can be partially accommodated in the arcuate groove 21 and move along the arcuate groove 21.

[0056] The elastic member 23 may be a spring.

[0057] Under the action of the elastic member 23, the pushing portion 22 enables the insertion portion 15 to move along the arc-shaped through groove 18 in a direction away from the flared section 19.
