Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of battery cover plate feeding, in particular to a cover plate feeding device. Background Art

[0002] The traditional way of loading cover sheets has the problem of insufficient continuity, which leads to frequent waiting during the loading process. This waiting not only makes the production line idle, but also directly affects the overall production efficiency and causes waste of resources. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize and improve the traditional loading method to improve the continuity and overall efficiency of the production line. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the utility model provides a loading device for cover plates, which solves the problem of temporary storage and transportation during the loading process. The mechanism is cleverly equipped with multiple transfer conveyor belts. Through the precise regulation of the translational power unit, the position of each conveyor belt can be flexibly adjusted to ensure that they are seamlessly connected with the loading conveyor belt. This design effectively avoids the embarrassing situation of waiting for loading, significantly improves the loading speed, and makes the production rhythm more compact and efficient. It not only avoids the idle waiting of the production line, but also ensures the continuity and stability of the loading process.

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A loading device for a cover plate comprises a material picking robot arm, a transfer storage mechanism located next to the material picking robot arm, a loading conveyor belt connected to the transfer storage mechanism, and a material receiving turntable connected to the loading conveyor belt. The transfer storage mechanism comprises a transfer base, a linear guide rail arranged on the transfer base, a slide seat installed on the linear guide rail, a translational power unit driving the slide seat to move, and multiple transfer conveyor belts arranged on the slide seat.

[0006] The design of the transfer storage mechanism is unique and perfectly solves the problem of temporary storage and transportation during the loading process. The mechanism is cleverly equipped with multiple transfer conveyor belts. Through the precise control of the horizontal power unit, the position of each conveyor belt can be flexibly adjusted to ensure that they are seamlessly connected with the loading conveyor belt. This design effectively avoids the embarrassing situation of waiting for loading, significantly improves the loading speed, and makes the production cycle more compact and efficient. In actual operation, the reclaiming robot arm and the transfer storage mechanism work together to achieve efficient assembly line production. When the reclaiming robot arm grabs the cover from the cover silo and places it on a transfer conveyor belt, other idle transfer conveyor belts can be quickly moved to the side of the loading conveyor belt to prepare to receive the next batch of covers. This parallel operation method not only avoids the idle waiting of the production line, but also ensures the continuity and stability of the loading process.

[0007] Preferably, the plurality of transfer conveyor belts are arranged side by side and parallel to the loading conveyor belt, and the plurality of transfer conveyor belts can be respectively connected to the loading conveyor belt under the driving of the translational power unit.

[0008] Preferably, the number of the transfer conveyor belts is 4, and the material-grabbing robot arm can clamp two rows of cover plates at a time and place them in two transfer conveyor belts at the same time.

[0009] The number of transfer conveyor belts is set to 4, which not only provides sufficient temporary storage space, but also ensures the continuity and efficiency of the production process.

[0011] The detection mechanism set in the middle section of the feeding conveyor belt is a manifestation of the intelligent device. By taking pictures of the cover plate with a CCD camera, defective products can be accurately identified to ensure that only qualified covers can enter the next process.

[0013] The clever design of the retrieving assembly makes the handling of defective products more efficient. The retrieving motor drives the retrieving swing arm to rotate, thereby driving the retrieving bracket and the retrieving suction cup to move, accurately picking up defective products from the feeding conveyor belt and placing them on the NG storage conveyor belt. This process is highly automated, reducing manual intervention and improving the efficiency of handling defective products.

[0014] Preferably, the material taking swing arm is dug with an oblong hole, the material taking bracket is connected with a limiting shaft, and the limiting shaft is passed through the oblong hole.

[0015] The oblong hole dug on the reclaiming swing arm is combined with the limit shaft on the reclaiming bracket to form a unique and effective connection method. This design not only ensures a stable connection between the reclaiming swing arm and the reclaiming bracket, but also enables the reclaiming bracket to move flexibly under the drive of the reclaiming swing arm to achieve accurate reclaiming.

[0017] The limiting plate provided on the material taking base and the limiting C-shaped groove dug in the limiting plate provide additional support and guidance for the limiting shaft. This design not only enhances the structural stability of the material taking assembly but also ensures the accuracy and reliability of the limiting shaft during movement. The shape of the limiting C-shaped groove matches that of the limiting shaft, enabling the limiting shaft to move smoothly within the groove while restricting its movement range and direction, ensuring the precision and efficiency of the material taking action. At the same time, the design of the long circular hole allows the limiting shaft to move within a certain range, enabling the material taking bracket to move along the direction of the C-shaped groove.

[0018] Preferably, the feeding conveyor belt is driven to move by a feeding conveying power unit.

[0019] The feeding conveyor belt is driven to move by a feeding conveying power unit, ensuring the stable and continuous conveyance of the cover plates.

By precisely controlling the output of the feeding conveying power unit, the feeding speed and rhythm can be accurately adjusted to meet different production requirements.

[0020] Preferably, the transfer conveyor belt is driven to move by a transfer conveying power unit.

[0021] The transfer conveyor belt is driven to move by a transfer conveying power unit, enabling the transfer storage mechanism to flexibly and quickly adjust the positions and states of the conveyor belts. This design not only improves the flexibility of the transfer storage mechanism but also ensures the stability and reliability of the cover plates during conveyance. By precisely controlling the output of the transfer conveying power unit, the moving speed and position of the transfer conveyor belt can be accurately controlled to meet the requirements of different production scenarios.

[0022] Preferably, the NG storage conveyor belt is driven to move by an NG storage conveying power unit.
