It should be noted that unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangements of components and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values ​​set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention.

[0037] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the invention, its application, or uses.

[0038] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0039] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0040] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to similar items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0041] The material removal device 1 according to an embodiment of the utility model is first described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the material removing device 1 according to the embodiment of the utility model has a material removing station, and the material removing device 1 includes: a first turntable 10 , a second turntable 20 and a material removing assembly 30 .

[0043] Specifically, the first rotating disk 10 is circumferentially arranged with a first groove 11 suitable for accommodating the battery 4, and the first rotating disk 10 can rotate around its own axis so that the first groove 11 passes through the material removal station. The second rotating disk 20 is arranged circumferentially with a second groove 21 suitable for accommodating the battery 4, and the axis of the second rotating disk 20 is parallel to the axis of the first rotating disk 10. The material removal assembly 30 is arranged at the material removal station, and is used to push the battery 4 in the first groove 11 to the second groove 21.

[0044] In other words, the material removal device 1 according to the embodiment of the utility model is mainly composed of a first rotating disk 10, a second rotating disk 20 and a material removal assembly 30. The material removal device 1 can identify and remove defective products or materials that do not meet quality standards on the production line.

[0045] Optionally, the rejecting device 1 of this embodiment can be used to reject NG batteries 4. The batteries 4 may include but are not limited to cylindrical batteries. When the cylindrical batteries are conveyed on the rejecting device 1, they can be conveyed by a jig. The jig may include but is not limited to a tray 5.

[0046] Specifically, the material removal device 1 may have one or more material removal stations. One or more second turntables 20 may be provided on the outer peripheral side of the first turntable 10, and the plurality of second turntables 20 may be arranged one-to-one with the plurality of material removal stations, or the number of the second turntables 20 may be less than the number of the material removal stations.

[0047] A first groove 11 is provided on the outer periphery of the first turntable 10. The first groove 11 can be constructed into a shape suitable for accommodating the battery 4 or the tray cup 5 loaded with the battery 4. For example, if the battery 4 is a cylindrical battery and the tray cup 5 is also cylindrical, the first groove 11 can be arc-shaped, and the arc is no more than 180° to facilitate the battery 4 or the tray cup 5 to enter and exit the first groove 11.

[0048] The outer circumference of the second turntable 20 may be provided with a second groove 21, which may be configured to be suitable for accommodating the battery 4 or the tray 5 loaded with the battery 4. The second groove 21 and the first groove 11 may have the same shape and size to transport batteries 4 of the same specifications.

[0049] In addition, the axis of the first rotating disk 10 and the axis of the second rotating disk 20 are parallel to each other. The first rotating disk 10 and the second rotating disk 20 are rotatable around their own axes respectively, and the first rotating disk 10 and the second rotating disk 20 rotate in opposite directions.

[0050] It should be noted that the linear velocity of the first rotating disk 10 and the linear velocity of the second rotating disk 20 may be the same or different. It may be assumed that the first rotating disk 10 has N first grooves 11 and the second rotating disk 20 has M second grooves 21, and the ratio of the linear velocity of the first rotating disk 10 to the linear velocity of the second rotating disk 20 may be M:N. When the linear velocities are the same, the number of the first grooves 11 on the first rotating disk 10 may be equal to the number of the second grooves 21 on the second rotating disk 20.

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, N=8, M=5, and the ratio of the linear velocity of the first rotating disk 10 to the linear velocity of the second rotating disk 20 may be 5:8.

[0052] Therefore, during the rotation process, each first groove 11 can be directly opposite to a second groove 21 at the material removal station. When the battery 4 is transported to the material removal station through the first rotating disk 10, a part of the battery 4 is located in the first groove 11, and the other part extends into the second groove 21.

[0053] In addition, the material removal station may be provided with a material removal component 30, and the material removal component 30 may be switched between a first state and a second state to push the battery 4 in the first groove 11 toward the second groove 21 to complete the material removal operation.

[0054] Specifically, the material removal operation of the material removal component 30 is performed only when the first groove 11 and the second groove 21 are directly opposite to each other at the material removal station. In the initial state, the material removal component 30 is in the first state, and the battery 4 in the first groove 11 of the first rotating disk 10 will not be removed when passing through the material removal station, but will continue to stay in the first groove 11 and follow the first rotating disk 10 to rotate to the next station.

[0055] For the battery 4 to be rejected, when the battery 4 is transported to the rejecting station through the first turntable 10, the first groove 11 is opposite to a second groove 21, and a part of the battery 4 to be rejected is in the second groove 21. The rejecting assembly 30 switches from the first state to the second state to push the battery 4 in the first groove 11 to the second groove 21, and the second turntable 20 receives the battery 4 through the second groove 21 and transports it to the next process or to the NG recycling place.

[0056] Therefore, according to the picking device 1 of the utility model, the first turntable 10 is used as the main turntable to convey the battery 4, and the second turntable 20 is used as the discharging turntable, and cooperates with the movable picking component 30 at the picking station, so that the second turntable 20 can receive the batteries 4 to be discharged from the first turntable 10 at the picking station. High-speed picking can be achieved through the high-speed rotation of the turntable and the rapid movement of the picking component 30, which is conducive to the realization of high-speed sorting of the battery 4.

[0057] According to one embodiment of the utility model, the material removal assembly 30 includes: a driving member 31 and a material pusher 32. The driving member 31 is disposed at the material removal station. The material pusher 32 is connected to the driving member 31, and the driving member 31 is used to drive the material pusher 32 to move along the radial direction of the first rotating disk 10 to push the battery 4 in the first groove 11 to the second groove 21.

[0058] Specifically, the material removal assembly 30 can be mainly composed of a driving member 31 and a pushing block 32. The driving member 31 can be fixedly arranged at the material removal station, and the pushing block 32 can be connected to the driving member 31 and move along the radial direction of the first turntable 10 under the drive of the driving member 31, so as to realize the switching of the material removal assembly 30 between the first state and the second state.

[0059] When the ejecting assembly 30 is in the first state, the pushing block 32 does not extend into the first groove 11. When the ejecting assembly 30 is in the second state, a portion of the pushing block 32 extends into the first groove 11 and pushes the battery 4 or the cup 5 toward the second groove 21.

[0060] In this embodiment, the material picking assembly 30 composed of the driving member 31 and the pushing block 32 has the advantages of simple structure and fast response speed while realizing the material picking function, and has the advantage of high reliability in the high-speed material picking process.

[0061] Optionally, the driving member 31 may include a high-speed cylinder. The high-speed cylinder has the advantages of high speed, high precision and energy saving. The use of a high-speed cylinder is conducive to improving the efficiency of NG rejection and realizing high-speed sorting of the battery 4.

[0062] According to some other embodiments of the present invention, the end of the pusher block 32 facing the second turntable 20 is smooth. That is, the end surface of the pusher block 32 that contacts the battery 4 or the cup 5 during pushing can be formed as a smooth end 321 to avoid damage to the battery 4 or the cup 5 during the material removal process.

[0063] In some specific embodiments, the end face of the push block 32 facing one end of the second turntable 20 includes two end faces inclined to each other, namely a first end face 322 and a second end face 323. The angle between the first end face 322 and the second end face 323 can be an obtuse angle. There is a smooth transition between the first end face 322 and the second end face 323. The first end face 322 can be tangent to the outer circumference of the battery 4 or the tray cup 5 when it abuts against the outer circumference of the battery 4 or the tray cup 5, and the second end face 323 can be inclined toward the center of the first turntable 10.

[0064] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, an adsorption member 40 is respectively provided in the first groove 11 and the second groove 21, and the adsorption member 40 is used to adsorb the battery 4, thereby making the connection between the first groove 11 or the second groove 21 and the battery 4 or the tray 5 more secure, preventing the battery 4 or the tray 5 from flying out.

[0065] like Figure 6 As shown, when the battery 4 in the cup 5 does not need to be removed at the current material removal station, the material removal assembly 30 remains in the first state, and the battery 4 or the cup 5 is adsorbed by the adsorbent 40 in the first groove 11, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, the battery 4 continues to be transported by the first turntable 10 after passing through the picking station.

[0066] like Figure 8 As shown, when the battery 4 in the cup 5 needs to be removed at the current removal station, the removal assembly 30 moves from the first state to the second state, the pusher block 32 extends into the first groove 11, and overcomes the adsorption force of the adsorbent 40 in the first groove 11 to push the battery 4 or the cup 5 into the second groove 21, and then the adsorbent 40 in the second groove 21 adsorbs the battery 4 or the cup 5. Fig. 9 As shown, the rejected batteries 4 are transferred to the second turntable 20 after passing through the rejecting station, and are further transported by the second turntable 20 .

[0067] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the adsorption member 40 includes a magnetic member. The magnetic member may include but is not limited to a strong magnet. The magnetic member has a simple structure, does not require additional power drive, is easy to install and disassemble, and can be arranged more flexibly to optimize space utilization.

[0068] It should be noted that the magnetic fields of the magnetic member in the first groove 11 and the magnetic member in the second groove 21 do not interfere with each other, so as to ensure that the battery 4 can be smoothly transferred from the first turntable 10 to the second turntable 20 after the material removal assembly 30 pushes the material.

[0069] According to some other embodiments of the present invention, the first groove 11 and the second groove 21 are both arc-shaped, and a plurality of the adsorption members 40 arranged along the arc are respectively disposed in the first groove 11 and the second groove 12 .

[0070] The arc-shaped first groove 11 and the second groove 21 can better fit with the cylindrical battery core 4 or the cylindrical support cup 5. A plurality of adsorbents 40 are arranged along the arc in the arc groove. The adsorbent 40 can also be arc-shaped. When the adsorbent 40 is a magnetic core, most of the magnetic field generated by the magnetic part can be gathered in the first groove 11 or the second groove 21, thereby avoiding the magnetic parts on the first turntable 10 and the second turntable 20 from interfering with each other and affecting the material picking process.

[0071] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, there are N picking stations, which are arranged along the circumference of the first turntable 10, each picking station is provided with a second turntable 20, the number of picking components 30 is N-1, and the N-1 picking components 30 and the N-1 picking stations are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0072] That is to say, among the multiple picking stations, each picking station is provided with a corresponding second turntable 20, and except for one of the picking stations, each of the other picking stations is provided with a picking component 30. The picking station without a picking component 30 can be provided with a guiding structure, which can cooperate with the first turntable 10 and the second turntable 20 through the guiding structure, and the batteries 4 on the first turntable 10 can also be transported downstream through the second turntable 20 and the guiding structure.

[0073] Optionally, in the conveying direction of the battery 4 conveyed by the first turntable 10, the guiding structure can be set corresponding to the most downstream second turntable 20, and the remaining upstream second turntables 20 are all set corresponding to a material removal component 30, which is beneficial to reduce the number of material removal components 30 and save the layout space above the first turntable 10.

[0074] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, N=3.

[0075] Specifically, Figure 3As shown, the material picking device 1 has three material picking stations, each of which is provided with a second turntable 20, that is, three second turntables 20 are provided, wherein the two upstream second turntables 20 can be respectively arranged corresponding to a material picking component 30, that is, two material picking components 30 are provided, and a guiding structure can be provided at the most downstream second turntable 20, and the three second turntables 20 can be arranged at equal intervals within a circumferential range of approximately 180° of the first turntable 10.

[0076] In some optional embodiments, a feeding device 2 and a code reading device 3 may also be provided on the peripheral side of the first turntable 10. The feeding device 2 may have a feeding port 2a. The code reading device 3 may read the battery 4 and the tray cup 5 respectively to obtain the battery 4 information and the tray cup 5 information. When the battery 4 information and the tray cup 5 information match, the battery 4 can be transported to the next process. When the battery 4 information and the tray cup 5 information do not match, the battery 4 can be rejected at the rejection station.

[0077] According to some other embodiments of the present invention, the material removal component 30 further has N discharge ports 60 , and the N discharge ports 60 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the N material removal stations, and the second turntable 20 is used to transport the batteries 4 to the discharge ports 60 .

[0078] For example, when N=3, the material removal component 30 has three discharge ports 60, and the three discharge ports 60 and the three material removal stations are arranged one by one. Each second turntable 20 can transport the batteries 4 obtained from the first turntable 10 to the next process or to the NG recycling area through the discharge port 60.

[0079] In some optional embodiments, two of the three discharge ports 60 may be used for batteries 4 that have passed the inspection and passed the test, and another of the three discharge ports 60 may be used for batteries 4 that have failed the inspection, that is, NG batteries 4.

[0080] In some other embodiments, an anti-stuck material mechanism may be provided between the discharge port 60 and the first rotating disk 10 to prevent the battery 4 from being stuck. The discharge port 60 may be connected to a conveying flexible chain.

[0081] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, the outer circumference of the first turntable 10 is separated from the outer circumference of the second turntable 20 by a preset distance, and the size of the preset distance can be designed according to the diameter of the battery 4, the diameter of the support cup 5 and other dimensions to ensure that the first turntable 10 and the second turntable 20 can run smoothly without interfering with each other.

[0082] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6As shown, when the first groove 11 and the second groove 21 are both in the material removal station, the maximum distance between the first groove 11 and the second groove 21 in the radial direction of the first turntable 10 is D1, the diameter of the battery 4 is D2, and D1>D2.

[0083] Taking the center of the first turntable 10 as the starting point, draw a straight line along the radial direction of the first turntable 10, and the end point of the straight line is the center of the second turntable 20. The line connecting the two points where the straight line intersects with the first groove 11 and the second groove 21 is the maximum distance between the first groove 11 and the second groove 21 in the radial direction of the first turntable 10.

[0084] like Figure 6 As shown, D1>D2, when the material removal component 30 is maintained in the first state, the support cup 5 can be separated from the inner wall surface of the second groove 21 to form a gap, thereby preventing the support cup 5 from being adsorbed by the adsorption component 40 in the second groove 21.

[0085] In some specific embodiments, D2+5mm≤D1≤D2+8mm, thus, in the direction of the line connecting the centers of the first turntable 10 and the second turntable 20, when the cup 5 fits with one of the first groove 11 and the second groove 21, the gap d between the cup 5 and the other of the first groove 11 and the second groove 21 is 5mm to 8mm.

[0086] When d is less than 5 mm, the gap is too small, and the magnetic fields generated by the adsorbents 40 in the first groove 11 and the second groove 21 may act on the cup 5 at the same time, and the interference between the two will affect the transfer of the cup 5. When d is greater than 8 mm, the gap is too large, and the cup 5 is difficult to be adsorbed by the adsorbent 40 in the second groove 21 after being pushed out by the material removal component 30, and the material removal stroke of the material removal component 30 will be increased, thereby increasing the time required for material removal.

[0087] When 5mm≤d≤8mm, it can ensure that the support cup 5 is smoothly adsorbed by the adsorption member 40 in the second groove 21 after being pushed out by the material removal assembly 30, and the material removal stroke can be reduced, thereby improving the material removal efficiency.

[0088] According to some other embodiments of the present invention, the projection of the material removal component 30 along the axial direction of the first turntable 10 coincides with the projection of the first turntable 10 along its own axial direction.

[0089] Specifically, a projection plane can be defined, which is perpendicular to the axial direction of the first turntable 10. The orthographic projection of the ejection component 30 on the projection plane and the orthographic projection of the first turntable 10 on the projection plane can coincide with each other. When the ejection component is in the first state, the orthographic projection of the first turntable 10 on the projection plane can completely cover the orthographic projection of the ejection component 30 on the projection plane, which can save layout space and facilitate the layout of other structures on the production line.

[0090] Optionally, the axis of the first turntable 10 may extend in the vertical direction, and the material removal assembly 30 may be disposed directly above the first turntable 10 to save layout space.

[0091] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the material removal device 1 further includes a base and a bracket. The first turntable 10 and the second turntable 20 are rotatably disposed on one side of the base. The bracket is disposed on the base, and the material removal assembly 30 is disposed on the bracket and is located on the side of the base facing the first turntable 10.

[0092] Specifically, the material picking assembly 30 can be fixed to the base by a bracket, the first turntable 10 and the second turntable 20 are rotatably connected to the base, and the first turntable 10, the second turntable 20, the bracket and the material picking assembly 30 are located on the same side of the base, for example, the first turntable 10, the second turntable 20, the bracket and the material picking assembly 30 are located on the upper side of the base.

[0093] Optionally, the support may be a gantry.

[0094] The embodiment of the utility model further provides a sorting device 100, and the sorting device 100 includes a material removal device 1 according to any of the above embodiments.

[0095] In some optional embodiments, the sorting device 100 may further include a feeding device 2 and a code scanning device.

[0096] Since the picking device 1 according to the embodiment of the utility model has the above-mentioned technical effects, the sorting equipment 100 according to the embodiment of the utility model also has the corresponding technical effects, that is, the first turntable 10 is used as the main turntable to convey the battery 4, and the second turntable 20 is used as the discharge turntable, and the movable picking component 30 at the picking station is cooperated, so that the second turntable 20 can receive the battery 4 to be discharged from the first turntable 10 at the picking station, and high-speed picking can be achieved through the high-speed rotation of the turntable and the rapid action of the picking component 30, which is conducive to the realization of high-speed sorting of the battery 4.

[0097] Although some specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail by way of examples, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the above examples are for illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the above embodiments may be modified without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
