Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of battery sorting equipment, in particular to multi-level sorting equipment for cylindrical batteries. Background Art

[0002] On the cylindrical battery production line, it is necessary to sort and test the produced cylindrical batteries to obtain the grades of each cylindrical battery, and then screen and collect the cylindrical batteries of each grade separately. In the process of multiple grades of cylindrical batteries coming in, the cylindrical batteries need to be accurately sorted into the corresponding cache channels according to their grades through a sorting mechanism.

[0003] Chinese invention patent CN 110479650 A discloses a cylindrical single power battery sorting device, comprising: a base assembly; a servo synchronous belt conveyor assembly located on the base assembly; the conveyor has equidistant rectangular notches, where battery cups and cylindrical single power batteries are placed; a sorting blocking assembly located on the base assembly; a sorting pool interface assembly located on the base assembly; the sorting pool contains multiple conveyor belts, the running direction of which is 90 degrees to the moving direction of the conveyor belt in the servo synchronous belt conveyor assembly. This invention patent uses the sorting blocking assembly to change the battery cups and cylindrical single power batteries that are queued and continuously driven to intermittent feeding, ensuring that they can enter the conveyor belt at the right time to avoid jamming; the sorting crank slider push plate assembly pushes the cylindrical single power battery together with its battery cup away from the rectangular notch and into the corresponding sorting pool interface assembly to achieve sorting.

[0004] However, the above invention patent still has the following disadvantages: 1. The structure of its sorting blocking assembly is relatively complex; 2. Since the sorting blocking assembly changes the continuously fed cylindrical single power battery into an intermittent feeding sorting mode, the sorting speed is relatively slow; 3. The sorting pool interface assembly can be simplified or omitted, and the cylindrical single power battery together with its battery cup can be directly pushed into the sorting pool through the sorting crank slider push plate assembly. Therefore, the battery sorting device can be improved to simplify its structure and increase the sorting rate. Utility Model Content

[0036] In order to prevent the cylindrical battery 11 from tipping over during the sorting process and avoid the risk of battery short circuit, the utility model specially designs a support cup 8, which is carried on the feeding conveying mechanism 3 for feeding, and the battery grabbing assembly 2 puts the cylindrical battery 11 on the battery buffer plate 7 into the support cup 8 of the feeding conveying mechanism 3, and each cylindrical battery 77 is placed in a support cup 8. The main body of the support cup 8 is a cylindrical barrel, and its inner diameter matches the outer diameter of the cylindrical battery 11. The top of the support cup 8 extends outward into a square, so that it can be neatly arranged on the feeding conveying mechanism 3.

[0037] The design and production of the cup 8 directly affects whether the cylindrical battery will be contaminated or scratched. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to ensure that the concentricity and verticality of the cup 8 are within 0.03mm, the contact surface with the cylindrical battery is free of edges and corners, and the roughness is 1.6.

The linear motor 18 is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy and can generate linear motion. It is composed of a coil, a magnetic field, a slide seat and a guide rail. When the coil is energized, a force is generated in the magnetic field, so that the load on the guide rail generates linear motion.

[0039] The battery grabbing assembly 2 includes a lifting cylinder 21, a lifting cylinder mounting plate 22, a first side plate 23, a second side plate 24, a connecting plate 25, a guide rail 26, a slider 27, a clamping cylinder mounting plate 28, a clamping cylinder 29 and a clamping claw 30; the lifting cylinder mounting plate 22 is fixed on the slide seat of the linear motor 18, and the lifting cylinder mounting plate 22 is provided with a first side plate 23 on both sides, and the guide rail 26 is provided on the outer side of the first side plate 23, and the slider 27 is provided on the guide rail 26, and the second side plate 24 is fixed on the slider 27, and the second side plate 2 4 is provided with a connecting plate 25 at the bottom; the lifting cylinder 21 is fixed on the lifting cylinder mounting plate 22, and the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 21 is connected to the connecting plate 25; the first side plate 23 and the second side plate 24 are located on both sides of the transplanting module 9, and the connecting plate 25 is located below the transplanting module 9; the clamping cylinder mounting plate 28 is fixed to the bottom of the connecting plate 25, and n clamping cylinders 29 are neatly fixed in a row on the clamping cylinder mounting plate 28, and each clamping cylinder 29 is provided with a clamping claw 30 at the bottom, which is used to drive the clamping claw to grab the cylindrical battery.

[0040] The feeding conveying mechanism 3 includes a first servo motor 31 and a feeding chain plate 32. The first servo motor 31 drives the feeding chain plate 32 to rotate, and the support cup 8 is fed from the front end of the feeding chain plate 32. When the support cup 8 passes under the transplanting module 9, the battery grabbing assembly 2 places the cylindrical battery on the battery cache plate 7 into the support cup, and then the support cup 8 with the cylindrical battery is sent into the sorting mobile conveying mechanism 4 in sequence.

[0041] Furthermore, in order for the battery grabbing assembly 2 to accurately place the cylindrical battery into the support cup on the feeding chain plate 32, a positioning and limiting mechanism is provided in the utility model. The positioning and limiting mechanism is located between the multi-level unloading chain plate channel 61 and the feeding chain plate 32, and the positioning and limiting mechanism includes a positioning plate 14, a positioning cylinder 15, a limiting cylinder 16 and a limiting baffle 17; the positioning cylinder 15 and the limiting cylinder 16 are fixed on the outer side of the multi-level unloading chain plate channel 61 in sequence along the conveying direction of the feeding chain plate 32, and the positioning plate 14 and the limiting baffle 17 are respectively installed on the piston rods of the positioning cylinder 15 and the limiting cylinder 16, and are close to the feeding chain plate 32, and the positioning plate 14 is aligned with the battery buffer plate 7 in the horizontal direction, and the limiting baffle 17 is aligned with one end of the battery buffer plate 7. The feeding chain plate 32 is provided with a sensor 19 for sensing whether the support cup 8 has moved to the positioning position.

[0042] The cylindrical batteries to be sorted are cached on the battery cache plate 7, on which multiple rows of cylindrical batteries can be placed, with n cylindrical batteries in each row; n corresponding clamping cylinders 29 and clamping jaws 30 are provided, and each clamping jaw is aimed at a cylindrical battery. During loading, the unloaded support cups 8 are continuously loaded from the front end of the loading chain plate 32. When the sensor 19 senses the support cups 8, the limit cylinder 16 extends, so that the limit baffle 17 blocks the top of the loading chain plate 32, preventing the support cups 8 from continuing to be transmitted forward. When the number of blocked support cups is n, the positioning cylinder 15 drives the positioning plate 14 to extend, and pushes the n blocked support cups together to the loading chain plate 32 toward one side of the battery cache plate 7. The pushed support cups are also blocked by the edge of the loading chain plate 32 and are neatly arranged. A row of n cylindrical batteries is aligned with the n cylindrical batteries grasped by the battery grasping component 2, thereby completing the alignment among the battery buffer plate 7, the battery grasping component 2 and the empty tray cup, ensuring that the battery grasping component 2 can grasp a whole row of n cylindrical batteries at a time and place them accurately into the empty tray cup, after which the limit baffle 17 retracts, and the n tray cups loaded with cylindrical batteries continue to be transmitted forward, and then the limit baffle is extended again to block the next batch of n empty tray cups, thereby continuously loading cylindrical batteries.

[0043] The sorting mobile conveying mechanism includes a second servo motor 41, a sorting chain plate 42 and a plurality of paddles 43. The sorting chain plate 42 is sleeved on the end of the feeding chain plate 32. The second servo motor 41 drives the sorting chain plate 42 to rotate. The sorting chain plate 42 is provided with a plurality of paddles 43, and the spacing between two adjacent paddles matches the outer diameter size of the main body of the cup. When the cup loaded with cylindrical batteries is transmitted to the end of the feeding chain plate 32, it will be stuck by the paddle 43 and transferred to the sorting chain plate 42.

[0044] The unloading and conveying mechanism includes a multi-level unloading chain plate channel 61, a third servo motor 62 and a roller 63. The front end of the multi-level unloading chain plate channel 61 is sleeved in the sorting chain plate 42, and the rear end is sleeved on the roller 63. The output end of the third servo motor 62 is connected to one end of the roller 63 through a belt, driving each chain plate of the multi-level unloading chain plate channel 61 to rotate simultaneously.

[0045] Each chain plate of the multi-level unloading chain plate channel 61 is provided with a group of sorting transverse push mechanisms 5 at the front end, and the sorting transverse push mechanisms 5 are arranged on a mounting frame 55, and the mounting frame 55 is arranged on the frame 1. The sorting transverse push mechanism 5 includes a rotating cylinder 51, an eccentric wheel 52, a connecting rod 53 and a push piece 54. The eccentric wheel 52 is arranged on the output shaft of the rotating cylinder 51, and one end of the connecting rod 53 is hinged on the eccentric wheel 52, and the other end is hinged on the push piece 54. The push piece 54 is slidably connected to the top of the mounting frame 55, and the front end of each push piece 54 is facing the sorting chain plate 42, and is respectively aligned with each chain plate of the multi-level unloading chain plate channel 61. The rotation of the rotating cylinder 51 drives the eccentric wheel 52 to rotate, thereby driving the connecting rod 53 to push and pull the push piece 54. When the sorting chain plate 42 drives the support cup loaded with cylindrical batteries to move to the front end of the chain plate corresponding to the cylindrical battery model in the multi-level unloading chain plate channel 61, the rotating cylinder 51 corresponding to the chain plate rotates, so that the push plate 54 at the front end of the chain plate extends, pushing the support cup loaded with cylindrical batteries to the corresponding chain plate for unloading and conveying.

[0046] Furthermore, a sensor mounting plate 12 is provided above the end of the multi-level unloading chain plate channel 61, and a plurality of sensors 13 are provided on the sensor mounting plate 12. Each sensor 13 is respectively located above each chain plate of the multi-level unloading chain plate channel 61, and is used to detect the unloading status of cylindrical batteries on each chain plate of the multi-level unloading chain plate channel 61.

[0047] In the utility model, the model of the cylindrical battery is known when the material is received (already known through the previous process), that is, the model of the cylindrical battery at each position on the battery cache plate 7 is known. Therefore, after the battery grabbing assembly 2 is loaded, the model of the cylindrical battery is converted from the position information of its battery cache plate into the sequence information of the tray cups carrying the cylindrical battery. According to the sequence of the tray cups, the transmission speeds of the loading chain plate 32 and the sorting chain plate 42 are set. When the sorting chain plate 42 moves the tray cups carrying the cylindrical battery to the corresponding chain plate front end in the corresponding multi-level unloading chain plate channel 61, the sorting horizontal pushing mechanism 5 pushes the tray cups carrying the cylindrical battery to the chain plate corresponding to the battery model.

[0048] The working process of the utility model is as follows:

[0049] When the battery buffer plate 7 is filled with cylindrical batteries, empty trays begin to be fed. When the empty trays reach the corresponding position on the feeding chain plate, since the position is provided with a sensor 19, the empty trays are positioned by the limit cylinder 16 and the positioning cylinder 15 after the sensor feedback. At this time, the battery grabbing assembly 2 takes out the cylindrical battery from the battery buffer plate 7 and puts it into the empty trays of the feeding chain plate. Then, when the trays filled with cylindrical batteries come to the sorting mobile conveying mechanism on the feeding chain plate, the sorting mobile conveying mechanism classifies the trays one by one, so that the trays go to the corresponding level of chain plate channel positions, and one level can correspond to one or more chain plate channels. Then, the sorting horizontal push mechanism sends the trays to the corresponding chain plate channel. When the trays reach the material taking position in the chain plate channel, it is sensed by the sensor 13. At this point, the cylindrical batteries are sorted in multiple levels.

[0050] During actual operation, fill the battery buffer plate with cylindrical batteries, place the empty tray cups on the feeding conveyor mechanism and convey them to the sensor position of the positioning component. After setting the speed, it can be used normally.

[0051] The utility model places cylindrical batteries in a tray for multi-level sorting. Since the cylindrical batteries are stably placed in the tray with little resistance, the problem of cylindrical batteries tipping over during the sorting and movement on each chain plate can be solved, the risk of battery short circuit can be avoided, the yield rate of the sorted batteries is improved, and compared with the manual sorting method, the battery sorting efficiency and the use efficiency of the equipment are greatly improved.

[0052] The above is a further detailed description of the utility model in combination with a specific implementation method, and it cannot be determined that the specific implementation of the utility model is limited to this; for technical personnel in the field of the utility model and related technical fields, based on the technical solution of the utility model, the expansion and replacement of operating methods and data should all fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
