Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of lithium battery production, in particular to a battery core rotating conveying and waste discharge mechanism. Background Art

[0002] In modern industrial production, many automated production equipment need to carry and flip products in some special stations, especially at the docking position of the station. At present, in some simple product handling and flipping stations, most automated production equipment uses manipulators, but the space occupied by the manipulator is relatively large, which leads to the situation that the overall size of the equipment has to be increased, which is not conducive to the rational use of the space in the workshop.

[0003] In addition, the cost of many industrial manipulators on the current market is generally high. In the battery cell appearance inspection equipment, if the flipping mechanism uses a manipulator, the cost of the equipment will increase. In addition, the manipulator has a complex structure, which is difficult to maintain, and the control program and precision requirements are also very high. Therefore, using an industrial manipulator to flip the battery cell is neither cost-effective nor the best choice for this process. Utility Model Content

[0007] As a preferred technical solution, the clamping structure includes a clamping mounting plate, a clamping cylinder and a clamping block. The clamping cylinder is installed on the clamping mounting plate, and the clamping cylinder drives the two clamping blocks to move relative to each other.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the clamping structure also includes an adjusting bolt and an adjusting block, the adjusting block is mounted on the flip plate, and one end of the adjusting bolt is mounted on the clamping mounting plate and is threadedly connected to the adjusting block.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the driving structure includes a motor, a reducer and a clamping block, the motor is connected to the clamping block via the reducer, and the flip plate is fixed to the clamping block.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, it further includes a proximity sensing structure and a sensing block, wherein the proximity sensing structure is respectively disposed on the left and right lower sides of the driving structure, the sensing block is mounted on the flip plate, and the proximity sensing structure senses the sensing block.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, it further includes a limit block, and the limit block is installed on the bracket.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution, it further includes a winding rod, which is installed on the bracket and the flip plate.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the utility model are that the above-mentioned battery cell rotating, transporting and waste discharge mechanism can not only flip 180° counterclockwise to flip and transport the battery cells, but also rotate 90° clockwise to remove defective battery cells, thus saving internal space of the equipment, and the action logic takes a short time. A proximity sensor structure is used to sense the rotation angle of the clamping structure, and a limit block is used to limit the rotation angle of the flip plate to ensure the accuracy of the rotation, thereby effectively improving the overall efficiency of the positive and negative collector plate welding machine.

The third proximity sensing structure 7 is used to sense whether the clamping structure 4 is located at the unloading station, and the limit block 8 is used to limit the rotation angle of the flip plate 3. When the clamping structure 4 clamps a good battery cell, the driving structure 2 drives the flip plate 3 to rotate 180° counterclockwise to the unloading station, thereby driving the clamping structure 4 to flip and make the battery cell flip 180°. At this time, the third proximity sensing structure 7 senses the sensing block 31, and the limit block 9 abuts against the flip plate 3, that is, the clamping structure 4 flips into place, and the clamping structure 4 releases the battery cell unloading; when the clamping structure 4 clamps a defective battery cell, the driving structure 2 drives the flip plate 3 to rotate 90° clockwise, so that the battery cell rotates 90° and rotates to the defective rejection station, and the second proximity sensing structure 6 senses the sensing block 31, and the limit block 9 abuts against the flip plate 3, that is, the clamping structure 4 flips into place, and the clamping structure 4 releases the battery cell unloading to reject the defective battery cell.

[0022] Specifically, the clamping structure 4 includes a clamping mounting plate 41, a clamping cylinder 42, a clamping block 43, an adjusting bolt 45 and an adjusting block 44. The clamping cylinder 42 is installed on the clamping mounting plate 41.
