[0039] The technical solution of the utility model is further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0040] With the development of new energy technology, power batteries are widely used in new energy vehicles such as electric bicycles and electric vehicles. Among them, lithium-ion batteries are widely used in the field of power batteries due to their high energy density, excellent cycle performance, and wide working range.

[0041] In the production process of batteries, defects are prone to occur, and there are many types of defects. If all defective batteries are destroyed, the production cost will increase, so it is necessary to classify qualified batteries and defective batteries for utilization. However, traditional sorting lines often use ramp mechanisms, which cause battery collisions and pose safety hazards, affecting production safety.

[0042] This embodiment provides a sorting line for classification and sorting, such as Figure 1 As shown, the sorting line includes a bracket and a screening mechanism, the bracket is provided with a transmission slot, a conveyor belt is arranged in the transmission slot, the bracket is provided with a loading station 13 and an unloading station 23, the conveyor belt is used to transfer the tray cup 100, the loading station 13 is configured to place the product into the tray cup 100, the unloading station 23 is configured to unload the qualified products, the screening mechanism is arranged between the loading station 13 and the unloading station 23, the screening mechanism is configured to screen the products and remove the defective products from the tray cup 100.

[0043] In this embodiment, the product is described by taking battery 101 as an example, and the sorting line is used to screen and classify the battery 101. The loading of the battery 101 at the loading station 13 and the unloading at the unloading station 23 are both completed by the manipulator, and the manipulator is provided with a plurality of grippers, each gripper corresponding to gripping a battery 101.

[0044] In the sorting line, the conveyor belt arranged on the bracket can sequentially convey the cup 100 carrying the product, and the conveying slot can guide the cup 100 to prevent the cup 100 from slipping. When the cup 100 passes through the screening mechanism, the screening mechanism can screen the product and identify defective products, thereby removing the defective products from the cup 100, allowing the qualified products to pass through the screening mechanism and move to the unloading mechanism for unloading, so as to achieve the classification of qualified products and defective products, and avoid collisions between batteries 101, reduce safety hazards, improve production safety, and reduce costs.

[0045] Since the distance between the jaws of the robot is fixed, and the distance between the cups 100 transmitted to the loading station 13 and / or the unloading station 23 is not exactly the same, this results in that when the robot at the loading station 13 clamps multiple batteries 101 and places them in the cups 100, the batteries 101 and the cups 100 do not completely correspond, and the batteries 101 may not be placed in the cups 100; similarly, when the robot at the unloading station 23 clamps the batteries 101 on the cups 100, the jaws of the robot do not completely correspond to the batteries 101, resulting in some jaws being clamped off-center or missing.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, to solve this problem, the sorting line also includes a positioning component 3. At least one of the loading station 13 and the unloading station 23 is provided with a positioning component 3. The positioning component 3 includes a positioning member 31. The positioning member 31 is provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 311 spaced apart along the transmission direction of the conveyor belt. The positioning member 31 moves in a horizontal direction to push the support cup 100 against the side wall of the transmission groove, and the support cup 100 is inserted into the corresponding positioning groove 311.

[0047] Since the position deviation of the support cup 100 is not too large, when the positioning member 31 moves toward the support cup 100, the support cup 100 will enter the corresponding positioning groove 311 and be adjusted to a suitable interval under the action of the positioning groove 311 to ensure the reliability of loading and unloading.

[0048] It can be understood that when defective batteries 101 are screened out by the screening mechanism and removed from the cup 100, the cup 100 carrying the battery 101 on the conveyor belt and the empty cup 100 are transmitted to the unloading station 23 together, resulting in some jaws on the robot arm corresponding to the empty cup 100, thereby reducing the unloading efficiency.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to solve the above problems, the bracket includes a first bracket 1 and a second bracket 2, the first bracket 1 is provided with a first transmission groove 11, and a first transmission belt 12 is arranged in the first transmission groove 11, the second bracket 2 is provided with a second transmission groove 21, and a second transmission belt 22 is arranged in the second transmission groove 21, and a side wall of the first transmission groove 11 is provided with a diversion port 14 and a confluence port 15, one end of the second transmission groove 21 is connected to the diversion port 14, and the other end of the second transmission groove 21 is connected to the confluence port 15.

[0050] Among them, the loading station 13 is located at the first bracket 1, the unloading station 23 is located at the second bracket 2, and the screening mechanism is arranged beside the first conveyor belt 12. After the multiple cups 100 on the first conveyor belt 12 are loaded, when the cups 100 supporting the batteries 101 are moved to the screening mechanism in sequence, the screening mechanism removes the defective batteries 101 from the cups 100, and then the cups 100 supporting the batteries 101 and the empty cups 100 pass through the diversion port 14 in sequence, and the cups 100 supporting the batteries 101 on the first conveyor belt 12 pass through the diversion port 14 and move to the second conveyor belt 22. , and moves to the unloading station 23 under the transmission of the second conveyor belt 22, thereby ensuring that the cups 100 at the unloading station 23 all support batteries 101, so that the robot can clamp multiple batteries 101 for unloading at one time; the empty cups 100 on the first conveyor belt 12 continue to be transmitted on the first conveyor belt 12 after passing through the diversion port 14, and the empty cups 100 on the second conveyor belt 22 move to the first conveyor belt 12 when passing through the confluence port 15, thereby ensuring that the empty cups 100, the cups 100 carrying the batteries 101 to be unloaded, and the defective batteries 101 are classified and sorted.

[0051] It is understandable that the sorting line is provided with a device for driving the cup 100 to switch the conveyor belt at the diversion port 14 and the confluence port 15 to ensure the correct movement of the cup 100. The device for driving the cup 100 to switch the conveyor belt can be a linear drive mechanism such as a push cylinder 743, or other forms of devices capable of switching.

[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the bracket also includes a diverter 4, which is arranged at the diverter port 14 and is located above the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2. The diverter 4 is provided with a diverter slot 41, the front end of the diverter slot 41 is located above the first transmission slot 11, and the rear end of the diverter slot 41 is located above the second transmission slot 21. The distance between the diverter 4 and the first conveyor belt 12 is greater than the height of the support cup 100, and the distance between the diverter 4 and the first conveyor belt 12 and the distance between the diverter 4 and the second conveyor belt 22 are both smaller than the height of the battery 101 in the support cup 100.

[0053] When the empty cup 100 reaches the diversion port 14, since the distance between the diversion member 4 and the first conveyor belt 12 is greater than the height of the cup 100, the empty cup 100 will not contact the diversion member 4, so that the empty cup 100 can continue to move with the first conveyor belt 12. When the cup 100 carrying the battery 101 reaches the diversion port 14, the battery 101 will enter the diversion slot 41 from the front end of the diversion slot 41, and the battery 101 can move along the diversion slot 41 to the second conveyor belt 22 together with the cup 100, thereby realizing the diversion operation of the empty cup 100 and the cup 100 carrying the battery 101, and the structure is simple and reliable.

[0054] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the bracket also includes a confluence piece 5, the diverter piece 4 is arranged at the confluence port 15 and is located above the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2, the confluence piece 5 is provided with a confluence groove 51, the front end of the confluence groove 51 is located above the second transmission groove 21, and the rear end of the confluence groove 51 is located above the first transmission groove 11, and the distance between the confluence piece 5 and the first conveyor belt 12 and the distance between the confluence piece 5 and the second conveyor belt 22 are both smaller than the height of the support cup 100.

[0055] After the battery 101 on the cup 100 is unloaded, when the empty cup 100 on the second conveyor belt 22 reaches the confluence port 15, since the distance between the confluence piece 5 and the first conveyor belt 12 and the distance between the confluence piece 5 and the second conveyor belt 22 are both smaller than the height of the cup 100, the cup 100 will enter the confluence slot 51 from the front end of the confluence slot 51 and move along the confluence slot 51 to the first conveyor belt 12.

[0056] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, a blocking component 6 is provided at a position of the first bracket 1 upstream of the loading station 13, and the blocking component 6 can block the passage of the cups 100. When the number of cups 100 reaches the number that the manipulator can load or unload at the same time, the blocking component 6 releases the cups 100, allowing the cups 100 to enter the loading station 13 for loading. The blocking component 6 can control the number of cups 100 in the loading station 13 to ensure that the number of batteries 101 loaded and unloaded each time is controllable.

[0057] It is worth noting that the blocking assembly 6 includes a blocking member 61, which is movably arranged on the first bracket 1. The blocking member 61 can extend above the first conveyor belt 12 to block the support cup 100, and can also be retracted to allow the support cup 100 to pass. The blocking assembly 6 also includes a driving member 62, which is used to drive the blocking member 61 to move. In this embodiment, the driving member 62 is a cylinder. In other embodiments, the driving member 62 can also be a linear motor 733, a screw nut driving structure or other forms of driving structures, which will not be repeated here.

[0058] In this embodiment, eight cups 100 form a group. When the eight cups 100 are blocked at the blocking component 6 located upstream of the loading station 13, the blocking component 61 retracts, and the eight cups 100 pass through and move to the loading station 13 for loading. Then the eight cups 100 support the batteries 101 and pass through the screening mechanism. At this time, some of the eight cups 100 become empty cups 100 and pass through the diversion port 14 in turn. The empty cups 100 and the cups 100 carrying the batteries 101 are transmitted separately. The empty cups 100 return to the upstream of the loading station 13, and the cups 100 carrying the batteries 101 enter the second conveyor belt 22 and move to the unloading station 23. After the unloading is completed, they pass through the confluence port 15 and return to the upstream of the loading station 13.

[0059] It is understandable that the total number of the cups 100 on the sorting line is greater than eight to ensure that the sorting line can always be in operation, avoiding the need to wait for all the cups 100 to return to the upstream of the loading station 13 before continuing the next round of screening, thereby improving utilization rate and efficiency.

[0060] In other embodiments, a group of cups 100 may also have other numbers, mainly based on the consistency of the number of grippers of the loading and unloading manipulators, to ensure that the manipulators can completely pick up or put down the batteries 101 on a group of cups 100 at one time. In order to ensure the stability of the cups 100 during the loading and unloading process, the first bracket 1 is provided with a blocking component 6 before and after the loading station 13, and the second bracket 2 is provided with a blocking component 6 before and after the unloading station 23.

[0061] like Figure 1As shown, in order to identify whether the battery 101 is defective, the screening mechanism includes an identification component 71, which can identify the battery 101, so as to distinguish which batteries 101 on each group of cups 100 are qualified and which are defective. Specifically, the identification component 71 includes an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) reading head, each battery 101 has a tag, and the RFID reading head is located at the loading station 13 and is provided with a plurality of RFID reading heads. When loading the cups 100 of the loading station 13, each RFID reading head can read the information of the battery 101 according to the tag on the corresponding battery 101, so as to determine the defective battery 101.

[0062] It is understandable that there are many types of defective batteries 101, and the batteries 101 need to be classified and utilized according to the types of defective batteries 101, so it is necessary to classify and collect the defective batteries 101 according to the types of defective batteries 101. In order to achieve the above purpose, the screening mechanism also includes multiple groups of screening components, and each group of screening components is configured to screen a type of defective battery 101. The identification component 71 can identify the specific defective type of each defective battery 101, and when each group of tray cups 100 moves to the corresponding screening component, the screening component will move the corresponding battery 101 out of the tray for collection.

[0063] In this embodiment, the screening mechanism further includes a plurality of classification conveyor belts 72 corresponding to the plurality of groups of screening components. A limiting member is provided at the end of the classification conveyor belt 72, and the screening component can move the defective batteries 101 to the corresponding classification conveyor belt 72. The defective batteries 101 stop moving when the classification conveyor belt 72 moves to the limiting member, so that the effect of classifying and transmitting the same defective batteries 101 is achieved, and then they can be transported collectively.

[0064] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the plurality of screening components include a first screening component 73, the first screening component 73 includes a chuck 731, a locking member and a clamping member 732, a plurality of slots 7311 are arranged at intervals on the periphery of the chuck 731, the cup 100 can enter the slot 7311 and rotate the chuck 731 when moving along the conveyor belt, when the cup 100 supporting the defective battery 101 enters the slot 7311, the locking member locks the chuck 731, and the clamping member 732 clamps the defective battery 101 and moves it out of the cup 100. It is worth noting that the cup 100 enters the slot 7311 when moving along the first conveyor belt 12.

[0065] When the cup 100 enters the card slot 7311 along the first conveyor belt 12, if the battery 101 carried by the cup 100 is qualified, the cup can drive the chuck 731 to rotate and continue to move along the first conveyor belt 12 through the chuck 731; if the battery 101 carried by the cup 100 is a defective battery, the locking member locks the chuck 731, and the cup 100 stops moving at this time, and the clamping member 732 can clamp the defective battery 101 and move it to the corresponding classification conveyor belt 72 to complete the screening.

[0066] Among them, the locking member can be a locking pin, which locks or unlocks the chuck 731 by telescoping. The locking member can also be a motor 733, which can drive the chuck 731 to rotate, and the rotation speed of the chuck 731 needs to adapt to the transmission speed of the first conveyor belt 12. When the support cup 100 needs to be fixed, the motor 733 can self-lock.

[0067] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the multiple groups of screening components include a second screening component 74, and the second screening component 74 includes a plurality of ejecting members 741. The plurality of ejecting members 741 are arranged in sequence along the transmission direction of the conveyor belt on one side of the bracket, and the ejecting members 741 can push defective batteries 101 out of the tray 100.

[0068] When a group of cups 100 move along the first conveyor belt 12 to the second screening component 74, each cup 100 is arranged in front of the corresponding ejector 741. The second screening component 74 determines which batteries 101 have Class II defects based on the information read by the RFID reader head, and controls the corresponding ejector 741 to push the Class II defective batteries 101 out of the cups 100 and onto the corresponding classification conveyor belt 72 to complete the screening.

[0069] Since the adjacent cups 100 are close to each other or in direct contact, when the ejector 741 pushes the corresponding battery 101, there is a risk that the ejector 741 may touch the adjacent battery 101 and move it out of the cup 100, resulting in classification confusion. Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, to solve this problem, the screening assembly also includes a plurality of blocking rods 742, and the plurality of blocking rods 742 correspond one by one to the plurality of pushing members 741. The blocking rods 742 are movable in the vertical direction and are arranged on the other side of the bracket. When the blocking rods 742 push the defective batteries 101, the corresponding blocking rods 742 move downward to avoid the batteries 101.

[0070] Before the ejection member 741 corresponding to the second-class defective battery 101 ejects the battery 101, the blocking rod 742 corresponding to the ejection member 741 descends to ensure that the ejection member 741 can push the battery 101 out of the tray 100, while the blocking rod 742 corresponding to the qualified battery 101 remains stationary to prevent the qualified battery 101 from being pushed out of the tray 100. It is worth noting that the driving of the ejection member 741 and the blocking rod 742 is completed by the ejection cylinder 743.

[0071] It is understandable that in the production process of the battery 101, there may be three, four or more types of defects. If classification is to be continued, more screening components and classification conveyor belts 72 need to be set. In this embodiment, there are mainly two types of defects, one is poor code scanning and the other is poor appearance. Correspondingly, the first screening component 73 is used to screen the batteries 101 with poor code scanning, and the second screening component 74 is used to screen the batteries 101 with poor appearance. Of course, the types of defects screened by the first screening component 73 and the second screening component 74 can be interchangeable, and can also be used to screen other types of defects.

[0072] It is worth mentioning that a blocking component 6 is provided upstream of the first screening component 73. The blocking component 6 can block the cups 100 that are about to reach the first screening component 73. In the present embodiment, when four cups 100 in a group of cups 100 pass through the blocking component 6, the blocking component 6 blocks the four cups 100 behind. When the front four cups 100 all pass through the first screening component 73, the four cups 100 behind pass through the blocking component 6 and are screened by the first screening component 73.

[0073] Optionally, blocking components 6 are provided upstream and downstream of the second screening component 74 to ensure that the supporting cups 100 can remain stable when the second screening component 74 screens a plurality of batteries 101 supported by a group of supporting cups 100 .

[0074] The above contents are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, according to the concept of the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scopes. The contents of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
