Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of battery zinc cylinder processing equipment, in particular to a zinc cylinder arranging and sorting mechanism. Background Art

[0002] The battery zinc cylinder is the main component of zinc-manganese battery products. It is not only the packaging container of the battery, but also directly participates in the chemical reaction as the active material of the negative electrode. Zinc-manganese batteries are cylindrical batteries. At present, most of them are produced and processed using automated production lines. During the processing, the zinc cylinder needs to be continuously and stably fed according to the operation requirements. In order to ensure that the feeding direction of the zinc cylinder is consistent and stable, a material sorting mechanism is generally used.

[0003] Chinese patent CN216971084U discloses a battery zinc drum step automatic feeding, sorting and arranging machine, including a loading hopper, a step automatic feeding mechanism, an upper conveying mechanism, a flipping and sorting mechanism and a lower conveying and arranging mechanism, the loading hopper is located below the step automatic feeding mechanism, the upper conveying mechanism is located above the step automatic feeding mechanism, the step automatic feeding mechanism includes a driving cylinder, a plurality of lifting plates and a plurality of fixed plates, the plurality of lifting plates and the plurality of fixed plates are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, and the plurality of fixed plates are arranged in parallel steps at intervals along an inclined upward direction, and the flipping and sorting mechanism is located between the tail end of the upper conveying mechanism and the head end of the lower conveying and arranging mechanism.

[0004] The above technical solution adopts a push-plate lifting structure. Due to the working principle of this structure, its stability is relatively poor after long-term use, and it is prone to problems such as vibration and swing. This will cause the zinc drum to be stuck or drop during the lifting process. Jamming will affect the quality of the product, and dropping will cause unstable feeding. If there is a shortage of material, it will affect the normal operation of the entire assembly line.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new lifting structure to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The utility model provides a zinc drum arrangement and sorting mechanism, which is conducive to solving the problem that some existing zinc drum arrangement and sorting mechanisms are simple in structure, low in fault tolerance, and prone to material jamming or unstable material feeding after long-term use.

[0007] The utility model is achieved in this way:

[0008] A zinc drum arrangement and sorting mechanism comprises a feeding device, a first shunt device, a second shunt device, a transfer device and a discharging device which are sequentially arranged for material feeding connection, wherein the first shunt device is provided with an inclined first track frame, on which a plurality of material feeding tracks arranged in parallel and at intervals are provided, the material feeding tracks are for axial sliding of zinc drums, the first track frame is provided with a material shifting plate which is moved in the opposite direction relative to the material feeding direction and is located above the material feeding track; the second shunt device is provided with a second track frame connected to the output end of the first track frame, on which a shunt track corresponding to the material feeding track is provided, and on which a transmission member is provided, the transmission member comprises a current limiting structure which can move periodically, and the current limiting structure is used to control the zinc drums in the shunt track to move backward in batches; the transfer device is used to transfer the zinc drums output in batches by the second shunt device to the discharging device, and the discharging device is used to linearly output the zinc drums.

[0009] On the basis of the above technical solution, the feeding device is a hopper, a feeding port is provided at the top of the hopper, a discharge port is provided at the bottom of the hopper, and the discharge port is connected to the input end of the first diverter device.

[0010] On the basis of the above technical solution, chain track groups are provided on both lateral sides of the material feeding track, and the material removing plate is arranged on the chain track groups.

[0011] On the basis of the above technical solution, a material guide rack is provided at the connection between the input end of the first diversion device and the feeding device. The material guide rack is composed of a plurality of guide rods distributed laterally at intervals. The guide rods are inclined and screening gaps are formed between adjacent guide rods.

[0012] On the basis of the above technical solution, the current limiting structure includes a clamping plate and a top block which are arranged in groups on the upper and lower sides of the diversion track. The diversion track is provided with a through hole suitable for the passage of the top block. The clamping plate and the top block can be close to each other to clamp the zinc cylinders located in the diversion track in batches to form a clamping structure.

[0013] On the basis of the above technical solution, the current limiting structure also includes a baffle rod located on the rear side of the top block, and the diversion track is provided with a through hole adapted for the passage of the baffle rod. When the baffle rod is extended, it can form a material blocking structure in the diversion track, and the material blocking structure cooperates with the material clamping structure to form a current limiting structure for controlling the batch cyclic feeding of the zinc cylinder in the diversion track.

The material troughs on each material tray are aligned in the axial direction, and each material tray can synchronously rotate in steps around its axial center line. A positioning plate is provided on the output side of the transfer device. After the material tray rotates into position with the zinc cylinder, the outer end of the zinc cylinder in the material trough will abut against the positioning plate.

[0015] On the basis of the above technical solution, the discharging device comprises a pushing chain rail and a discharging track. The pushing chain rail is provided with a pushing piece, and the pushing piece can push the zinc cylinder abutting on the positioning plate onto the discharging track.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has at least the following advantages:

[0017] The utility model sequentially arranges a feeding device, a first diverter device, a second diverter device, a transfer device and a discharging device for material feeding connection, thereby forming an automatic arrangement and sorting mechanism for zinc drums before loading. The first diverter device and the second diverter device are used to form a double material feeding and diverting track structure, so that the zinc drums can stably and reliably utilize their own weight to slide down the slope of the material feeding track and the diverter track to complete grouping, and utilize the current limiting structure to complete the effect of batch discharge and transportation. The whole process has a detailed and clear division of labor. Compared with the push-plate lifting feeding method, this structure has more correction structures and a high fault tolerance rate, and will not cause defects such as material jamming or unstable feeding due to the instability of the feeding structure itself after long-term use.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the utility model provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the utility model for which protection is claimed, but merely represents selected embodiments of the utility model.

[0029] In the description of the present invention, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0030] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be a central element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to an element or there may be a central element at the same time. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only implementation method.

[0031] The utility model is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0032] See also Figure 1 The present embodiment discloses a zinc drum arrangement and sorting mechanism, comprising a feeding device 1, a first diverter device 2, a second diverter device 3, a transfer device 4 and a discharging device 5 which are sequentially arranged for material feeding connection.

[0033] The feeding device 1 is used for transferring, storing and discharging zinc drums to be arranged and sorted.

[0034] Specifically, the feeding device 1 in this embodiment is a hopper, which is assembled on a frame. The frame raises the hopper so that the height of its discharge level is at a suitable height. The top of the hopper is provided with a feeding port with an open structure, and the bottom is provided with a discharge port, and the discharge port is connected to the input end of the first diversion device 2.

[0035] The first diverter device 2 is used to perform the first sorting of the zinc cylinders output by the feeding device 1, so that the zinc cylinders are transformed from a disordered state into a linear array for feeding.

[0036] Specific, combined Figure 2 As shown, the first diversion device 2 is provided with an inclined first track frame 21, and the bottom of the first track frame 21 is also provided with a frame, so that the first track frame 21 can be connected to the output end of the feeding device 1 after being raised. The first track frame 21 has multiple parallel and spaced feeding tracks, the feeding tracks are high in the front and low in the back, and the feeding tracks are for the zinc cylinder to slide axially. The first track frame 21 is located above the feeding track and is provided with a material-dispensing plate 22 that is shifted in the opposite direction relative to the feeding direction. The feeding track is provided with a chain track group on both sides, and the material-dispensing plate 22 is arranged on the chain track group. When in use, the chain track group drives the material-dispensing plate 22 to move from the bottom of the feeding track to the top. In this process, the material-dispensing plate 22 can sweep the top of the feeding track to prevent the zinc cylinders from being randomly piled up on the top of the feeding track. This action also causes the zinc cylinders that are not arranged in the feeding track according to the threshold posture to be pushed back to the top again to slide again. In order to prevent the material from falling, the left and right sides of the first track frame 21 are provided with baffle structures.

[0037] Furthermore, a guide rack 23 is provided at the connection between the input end of the first diverter device 2 and the feeding device 1. The guide rack 23 is composed of a plurality of guide rods distributed at intervals in the transverse direction. The guide rods are arranged obliquely, and a screening gap is formed between adjacent guide rods. When in use, the zinc cylinder output by the discharging device 5 first passes through the guide rack 23, and gradually forms multiple paths with the help of the guide rods on the guide rack 23, so that the zinc cylinder slides down axially in a queue to accurately enter the material track. In this process, the zinc cylinder that has not adjusted itself to radial sliding slides above the screening gap. The screening gap can also filter out some zinc cylinders whose diameters do not meet the threshold conditions.

[0038] Furthermore, a first pressing plate 24 is provided at the rear section of the first track frame 21. The first pressing plate 24 is located at the top of the feeding track and is used to press the output end of the first track frame 21 so that the zinc cylinder can maintain a stable posture for output.

[0039] The second diversion device 3 is provided with a second track frame 31 connected to the output end of the first track frame 21, and the second track frame 31 is provided with a diversion track corresponding to the feeding track one by one, and the second track frame 31 is provided with a transmission member 33, and the transmission member 33 includes a current limiting structure that can move periodically, and the current limiting structure is used to control the zinc drum in the diversion track to move backward in batches.

[0040] Specific, combined Figure 3-5 The current limiting structure includes a clamping plate 32 and a top block 335 which are arranged in groups on the upper and lower sides of the shunt track. The shunt track is provided with a first through hole 311 adapted for the top block 335 to pass through. The clamping plate 32 and the top block 335 can be close to each other to clamp the zinc cylinders in the shunt track in batches, forming a clamping structure. The clamping plate 32 is a triangular plate body arranged perpendicular to the shunt track, and has a straight edge on the side close to the shunt track. A cylinder is connected to one side of the clamping plate 32, and the cylinder is used to control the lifting and lowering activities of the clamping plate 32. When the clamping plate 32 moves downward, it can abut against the upper end surface of the zinc cylinder arranged below.

[0041] Furthermore, the current limiting structure also includes a blocking rod 336 located at the rear side of the top block 335, and the diverter track is provided with a second through hole 312 adapted for the blocking rod 336 to pass through. The blocking rod 336 can form a material blocking structure in the diverter track after being extended. The material blocking structure cooperates with the material clamping structure to form a current limiting structure for controlling the batch cyclic feeding of zinc drums in the diverter track. Figure 4As shown, the transmission member 33 includes a transmission shaft 331, which is arranged at the bottom of the diversion track. The transmission shaft 331 is a horizontal axis body perpendicular to the feeding direction of the diversion track, and a stepping motor is connected to one side of the transmission shaft 331. A first movable plate 333 and a second movable plate 334 are provided on the side of the diversion track. A plurality of top blocks 335 are distributed on the first movable plate 333 at intervals, and a plurality of baffles 336 are distributed on the second movable plate 334 at intervals. A transmission rod 332 is provided between the rotating shaft and the first movable plate 333 and the second movable plate 334. The transmission rod 332 and the transmission shaft 331 form a crank-connecting rod structure. The transmission member 33 can control the top block 335 to move upward through the first through hole 311 and abut against the lower end surface of the zinc drum, and clamp the zinc drum up and down on the clamping plate 32. The transmission member 33 can also control the baffle 336 to move upward through the second through hole 312 to form a limiting structure of the diversion track, so that the zinc drum in front of the baffle 336 is stacked.

[0042] In actual use, combined with Figure 5 As shown, the clamping plate 32 and the top block 335 clamp and fix the zinc cylinders in the second-to-last row in both directions, and then the blocking rod 336 moves downward to release the limit on the zinc cylinders in the first-to-last row. The zinc cylinders in the first-to-last row can now slide down for output, and then the blocking rod 336 moves upward to reset and continue to form a limiting structure. The clamping plate 32 and the top block 335 move away from each other, and the zinc cylinders originally in the second-to-last row slide down and abut against one side of the blocking rod 336 to form a new first-to-last row. From then on, the operation is cyclical to complete batch discharge.

[0043] Further, combined with Figure 3 As shown, a second pressing plate 35 is also provided at the output end of the second track frame 31. The second pressing plate 35 is located at the top of the diversion track. Its function is the same as that of the first pressing plate 24, which is also used to control the posture stability of the zinc drum at the discharge end to reduce the material jamming phenomenon.

[0044] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the zinc drum on the feeding track can be stably transferred to the diversion track, a guide frame 34 is also provided at the top of the front end of the second track frame 31. The guide frame 34 is a sheet structure extending forward, which is beneficial to the upper limit constraint effect on the zinc drum when the feeding track is transferred to the diversion track.

[0045] The transfer device 4 is used to transfer the zinc cylinders output in batches by the second diverter device 3 to the discharging device 5, and the discharging device 5 is used to linearly output the zinc cylinders.

[0046] Specific, combined Figure 6-8The transfer device 4 in this embodiment is provided with a plurality of material trays 42 corresponding to the shunt tracks one by one, and each material tray 42 is fixed on the main shaft 41 arranged at the same level. One end of the main shaft 41 is connected to the stepper motor transmission of the transmission member 33 on the second track frame 31 through a transmission structure, so as to form a structure in which the two devices move synchronously. The material tray 42 is radially provided with a plurality of centrally symmetrical material troughs 421, and the outer ends of the material troughs 421 are open structures for receiving the zinc cylinder output from the shunt track. The material troughs 421 on each of the material trays 42 are aligned in the axial direction, and each of the material trays 42 can synchronously rotate in a step-by-step manner around its axial center line. A positioning plate 44 is provided on the output side of the transfer device 4. After the material tray 42 rotates into place with the zinc cylinder, the outer ends of the zinc cylinder in the material troughs 421 will abut against the positioning plate 44.

[0047] Furthermore, partitions 43 are provided between adjacent material trays 42, so that each material trough 421 forms a partition structure, which is conducive to smoother turning of the zinc drum and will not be easily misplaced.

[0048] Furthermore, a limiting plate 441 is provided on the outer side of the positioning plate 44, and the limiting plate 441 and the working end surface of the positioning plate 44 form an "L"-shaped structure, and the two cooperate with each other so that the zinc cylinder will not fall off easily here.

[0049] On the basis of the above technical scheme, the discharging device 5 includes a pushing chain rail 51 and a discharging track 52. The moving direction of the pushing chain rail 51 is parallel to the long side direction of the positioning plate 44. The pushing chain rail 51 is provided with a pushing piece 511. The pushing piece 511 in this embodiment is a horizontally arranged "L"-shaped structural member. The pushing piece 511 follows the movement of the pushing chain rail 51 and can push the zinc drum abutting on the positioning plate 44 to the discharging track 52. The discharging track 52 in this embodiment is a conveyor belt with limiting structures on both sides so that the zinc drum can be stably arranged and the material can be smoothly transported.

[0050] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments may still be modified, or some of the technical features may be replaced by equivalents.
