[0038] At present, new energy batteries are increasingly used in life and industry. New energy batteries are not only used in energy storage power systems such as hydropower, thermal power, wind power and solar power stations, but are also widely used in electric vehicles such as electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric vehicles, as well as military equipment and aerospace and other fields. With the continuous expansion of the application field of new energy batteries, the market demand is also constantly expanding, and button batteries are a widely used new energy battery. When assembling existing button batteries, generally, the material tray containing materials (such as lithium sheets, diaphragms, and pole pieces) is placed on the material retrieving station of the button battery assembly machine, and the material retrieving device of the button battery assembly machine sends the materials on the material tray to the assembly station for assembly. When the materials on the material tray at the retrieving station of the existing button battery assembly machine are used up, the material tray is generally taken away manually, and then the material tray with materials is placed on the retrieving station. This manual material replenishment method is relatively low, which greatly affects the production efficiency of button batteries.

[0041] The feeding device of the utility model can realize automatic feeding; initially, the material rack 21 of the material storage device 2 is placed with multiple carrier trays 4 and each carrier tray 4 is placed with a material tray 5 that has been loaded with materials. When the button battery assembly machine needs to feed materials to the material picking station of the material picking device A, first, the feeding translation device 32 drives the feeding plate 31 to move from the material picking station of the material picking device A to the bottom of the material rack 21; then, the material storage lifting device 22 drives the material rack 21 to move downward so that the bottom carrier tray 4 on the material rack 21 is engaged with the feeding plate 31; then, the feeding translation device 32 drives the feeding plate 31 to move from the bottom of the material rack 21 to the material picking station of the material picking device A, thereby transferring the carrier tray 4 docked with the feeding plate 31 and the material tray 5 placed on the carrier tray 4 to the material picking station of the material picking device A.

[0042] In an embodiment of the utility model, the carrying plate 4 is provided with at least two locking holes 41; the feeding plate 31 is provided with a locking block 311 for inserting into the locking hole 41 of the carrying plate 4.

The junction of the supporting plate 4 and the feeding plate 31 is located within the sensing area of ​​the sensing switch. When the material storage lifting device 22 drives the material rack 21 to move downward, when the sensing switch senses the material tray 5, the sensing switch controls the material storage lifting device 22 to stop driving the material rack 21 to move downward. At this time, the supporting plate 4 and the feeding plate 31 are engaged with each other to ensure that the supporting plate 4 and the feeding plate 31 are accurately docked.
