However, manual shelling is inefficient and prone to errors, so currently, equipment is mainly used for shelling.

[0003] In the related art, the battery is clamped on a first clamping mechanism, and the plastic shell is clamped on a second clamping mechanism, so that the openings of the battery and the plastic shell are aligned, and then the first clamping mechanism is pushed to move by a driving mechanism so that the battery enters the plastic shell. For example, the shell insertion device disclosed in CN110739481A is used to insert the battery into the shell.

[0004] However, it is inevitable that the battery or the shell is not aligned during batch shell insertion. Since the angles of the battery and the shell cannot be adjusted, when the battery or the shell is not aligned, the battery cannot be smoothly inserted into the plastic shell, resulting in a low qualified rate for batch shell insertion.

The terms used herein in the specification of the present disclosure are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0029] In order to better understand the technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments:

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As described, a battery shell insertion device 10 of one embodiment includes a shell clamping mechanism 100, a battery fixing mechanism 200 and a pushing mechanism 300. The shell clamping mechanism 100 and the battery fixing mechanism 200 are arranged opposite to each other. The power output end of the pushing mechanism 300 is connected to the battery fixing mechanism 200. The shell clamping mechanism 100 is used to clamp the plastic shell 20, and the battery fixing mechanism 200 is used to clamp the battery 30. The pushing mechanism 300 is used to push the battery fixing mechanism 200 toward the shell clamping mechanism 100, so that the battery 30 on the battery fixing mechanism 200 enters the plastic shell 20 on the shell clamping mechanism 100 to realize the shell insertion operation.

[0031] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, further, the battery shell insertion device 10 also includes an angle adjustment mechanism 400, the angle adjustment mechanism 400 includes a mounting frame 410, a connecting member 420 and a rotation drive assembly 430, the connecting member 420 is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 410, the shell clamping mechanism 100 is installed on the connecting member 420, the rotation drive assembly 430 is installed on the mounting frame 410, and the power output end of the rotation drive assembly 430 is connected to the connecting member 420.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, further, the battery fixing mechanism 200 includes a vacuum adsorption plate 210, a limiting column 220, a blocking member 230 and an elastic member 240. A placement area 211 is provided on the vacuum adsorption plate 210. The placement area 211 is arranged opposite to the shell clamping mechanism 100. The placement area 211 is used to place the battery 30. The vacuum adsorption plate 210 is formed with adsorption holes 212 on the placement area 211. One ends of multiple limiting columns 220 are fixedly connected to the vacuum adsorption plate 210. Multiple limiting columns 220 are arranged at circumferential intervals along the placement area 211. The blocking member 230 is located between the vacuum adsorption plate 210 and the shell clamping mechanism 100. The blocking member 230 is sleeved on each limiting column 220. There is a gap between the blocking member 230 and the limiting column 220. A battery avoidance hole 231 is opened at the center of the blocking member 230. The blocking member 230 is also used to be sleeved on the battery 30. The plurality of elastic members 240 are sleeved on the plurality of limiting pillars 220 in a one-to-one correspondence, and two ends of each elastic member 240 are respectively connected to the vacuum adsorption plate 210 and the enclosure member 230 .

[0033] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the battery 30 is inserted into the battery avoidance hole 231, the enclosure 230 is sleeved on the battery 30, and the inner wall of the battery avoidance hole 231 abuts against the battery 30, and the bottom of the battery 30 is in contact with the surface of the placement area 211, and the vacuum airflow through the adsorption hole 212 adsorbs the bottom of the battery 30, so that the battery 30 is fixed in the placement area 211. The plastic shell 20 is clamped in the shell clamping mechanism 100. When one end of the battery 30 is not correctly aligned with the opening of the plastic shell 20, that is, the position of the battery 30 or the plastic shell 20 is not correct, the connecting member 420 is driven to rotate relative to the mounting frame 410 by the rotating driving assembly 430, so that the mounting frame 410 drives the shell clamping mechanism 100 to rotate, and the angle adjustment of the plastic shell 20 is achieved, so that the opening of the plastic shell 20 is aligned with one end of the battery 30. The battery fixing mechanism 200 is pushed toward the housing clamping mechanism 100 by the pushing mechanism 300 , so that the battery 30 enters the plastic housing 20 from the opening of the plastic housing 20 .

[0034] It can be understood that, since there is a gap between the limiting column 220 and the barrier, and the vacuum adsorption plate 210 can be set to have a smaller adsorption force, when the opening of the plastic shell 20 is aligned with one end of the battery 30, and the plastic shell 20 and the battery 30 are not parallel to each other, after one end of the battery 30 enters the plastic shell 20, the battery 30 and the plastic shell 20 will interfere with each other. At this time, the battery 30 will overcome the adsorption force of the vacuum adsorption plate 210, and the barrier 230 will be offset relative to the limiting column 220, so that the battery 30 is automatically straightened, and then the battery 30 smoothly enters the plastic shell 20. It can also be understood that the adsorption force of the vacuum adsorption plate 210 can be achieved by adjusting the airflow strength of the adsorption hole 212, so that the battery 30 can be freed from the adsorption force when interfering with the plastic shell 20.

[0035] In the battery shell insertion device 10, when one end of the battery 30 is not correctly aligned with the opening of the plastic shell 20, that is, when the position of the battery 30 or the plastic shell 20 is not correct, the connecting member 420 is driven to rotate relative to the mounting frame 410 by the rotating driving assembly 430, so that the mounting frame 410 drives the shell clamping mechanism 100 to rotate, and the angle adjustment of the plastic shell 20 is achieved, so that the opening of the plastic shell 20 is aligned with one end of the battery 30, so that the battery 30 can smoothly enter the plastic shell 20, and the qualified rate of batch shell insertion is improved. Since the limiting column 220 is fixedly connected to the vacuum adsorption plate 210, the enclosure 230 is sleeved on the limiting column 220, the enclosure 230 is spaced from the vacuum adsorption plate 210, and the enclosure 230 is sleeved on the battery 30, the enclosure 230 plays a certain limiting role on the battery 30, avoiding the problem of the battery 30 tipping over.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the elastic member 240 is a spring.

[0037] In one embodiment, the inner wall of the battery avoidance hole 231 is coated with a silicone layer, and the silicone layer is used to abut against the outer wall of the battery 30 .

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the housing clamping mechanism 100 and the battery fixing mechanism 200 are disposed correspondingly up and down.

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the connecting member 420 includes a rotating plate 421 and a rotating shaft 422, the shell clamping mechanism 100 is installed on the rotating plate 421, the two rotating shafts 422 are parallel, the two rotating shafts 422 are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of the rotating plate 421, the two rotating shafts 422 are respectively rotatably connected to the mounting frame 410, and the power output end of the angle adjustment mechanism 400 is connected to one of the rotating shafts 422.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the angle adjustment mechanism 400 includes a rotary motor and a coupling. The rotary motor is mounted on a mounting frame 410 . The coupling is connected to the output shaft of the rotary motor. The coupling is connected to one of the rotary shafts 422 .

[0041] In one embodiment, the rotary motor is a servo motor.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the pushing mechanism 300 is a cylinder.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the pushing mechanism 300 is located at the lower side of the housing clamping mechanism 100 .

[0044] The present disclosure further provides a battery 30 shell insertion device, comprising the battery shell insertion device 10 of any of the above embodiments.

[0045] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following advantages:

[0046] When one end of the battery 30 is not correctly aligned with the opening of the plastic shell 20, that is, when the position of the battery 30 or the plastic shell 20 is not correct, the connecting member 420 is driven to rotate relative to the mounting frame 410 by rotating the driving assembly 430, so that the mounting frame 410 drives the shell clamping mechanism 100 to rotate, and the angle adjustment of the plastic shell 20 is achieved, so that the opening of the plastic shell 20 is aligned with one end of the battery 30, so that the battery 30 can smoothly enter the plastic shell 20, and the qualified rate of batch shell entry is improved. Since the limiting column 220 is fixedly connected to the vacuum adsorption plate 210, the enclosure 230 is sleeved on the limiting column 220, the enclosure 230 is spaced from the vacuum adsorption plate 210, and the enclosure 230 is sleeved on the battery 30, the enclosure 230 plays a certain limiting role on the battery 30, avoiding the problem of the battery 30 tipping over.

[0047] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present disclosure, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the disclosed patent. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present disclosure, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the protection scope of the disclosed patent shall be subject to the attached claims.
