[0024] In order to further understand the content of the utility model, the utility model is described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. What is described here is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model. Those skilled in the art can think of other ways to implement the utility model based on the preferred embodiment, and other ways also fall within the scope of the utility model.

[0025] Example

[0026] Reference Figure 1-Figure 2 This embodiment provides a loading bin, including a bin body 1, wherein a material dropping channel is provided in the bin body 1, which gradually narrows from a material dropping port 101 to the bottom of the bin body 1, and the material dropping channel presents a structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. The amount of shell material contained in the upper part of the bin body 1 is greater than that in the lower part of the bin body 1, which can reduce the accumulation of shell material at the bottom of the loading bin and avoid material jamming. A discharge port 102 is provided on one side of the bottom of the bin body 1, and a moving device 3 for receiving the material is provided at the bottom of the bin body 1, and the moving device 3 enables the material to reciprocate toward the discharge port 102. The shell material inside the bin body 1 is kept in a moving state under the reciprocating motion of the moving device 3, and the material can be discharged smoothly from the discharge port 102 in a moving state, ensuring that the material does not get jammed in the bin body 1, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0027] Specifically, inclined baffles 103 are provided on two opposite sides of the discharge direction inside the silo 1, and the inclined surfaces of the two inclined baffles 103 are opposed to form a material drop channel. The outer shape of the inclined baffle 103 is a triangular structure, and the interior of the inclined baffle 103 is a cavity. There is a gap between the bottom of the inclined baffle 103 located on one side of the discharge direction and the bottom of the silo 1, and the gap forms a discharge port 102, and the shell material is discharged from the discharge port 102. The height of the gap is greater than the diameter of the material to ensure that the material will not be stuck at the discharge port 102. The height of the gap is 4 / 3 to 5 / 3 times the diameter of the material, and 5 / 3 times is preferred, so that the height of the discharge port 102 is 2 / 3 larger than the diameter of the shell material, which can ensure that the lower material passes completely and the upper material does not pass. It should be noted that the material shell in this embodiment is mainly a cylindrical battery shell. The front side of the silo 1 is made of transparent material, so Figure 1 , Figure 2 The structure of the inclined baffle 103 inside the bin body 1 can be seen.

[0028] Furthermore, according to the actual working conditions, the amount of feeding needs to be controlled, and the volume of the blanking channel can be changed. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The inclined baffle 103 located on one side of the discharge port 102 is fixed to the bin body 1 by the mounting workpiece 2, and the mounting workpiece 2 is detachably connected to the bin body 1, and the mounting workpiece 2 can adjust the position of the inclined baffle 103 in the discharge direction. Figure 2 As shown, the discharge port 102 is located on the right side, and the position of the inclined baffle 103 on the right side is adjusted to change the distance between the inclined baffle 103 on the right side and the inclined baffle 103 on the left side, thereby changing the volume of the blanking channel. The upper end of the installation workpiece 2 is an "I"-shaped structural member, and the lower end is a rectangular structural member. The "I"-shaped structural member is fixed to the blanking end of the bin body 1 by bolts, and the inclined baffle 103 is fixedly installed on the rectangular structural member by bolts.

[0029] In this embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the moving material device 3 includes a moving material belt 301 and a driving mechanism 302. The moving material belt 301 is used to support the material, and the driving mechanism 302 drives the moving material belt 301 to move alternately in the forward and reverse directions in the discharge direction. Among them, the driving mechanism 302 mainly adopts a stepper motor, and the stepper motor continuously rotates forward and reverse to drive the moving material belt 301 to move alternately in the forward and reverse directions. It should be noted that the so-called "forward direction" refers to the direction toward the discharge port 102, and "reverse direction" refers to the direction away from the discharge port 102. The forward and reverse movements of the stepper motor cause the shell material to be transported forward and backward at a fixed distance on the moving material belt 301, and the material will not be stuck, squeezed, etc. in the upper bin to cause material damage. The moving material belt 301 includes front and rear rollers and a belt mounted on the rollers. The stepper motor drives the rollers to rotate to move the belt.

[0030] In this embodiment, the shell material is discharged at the discharge port 102 and then slides onto the conveyor line. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the silo 1 is provided with a blanking plate 4 at one side of the discharge port 102, and the blanking plate 4 is arranged tilted downward. The blanking plate 4 can increase the smoothness of the falling of the shell material on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can limit the falling path of the shell material to prevent the shell material from deviating from the conveying line.

[0031] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the present application further provides a material palletizing line based on the loading bin, including a pallet input line 5, a loading device 6, a visual code scanning mechanism 7, a material conveying line 8, a gripping device 9, a pallet positioning line 10 and a pallet output line 11. The loading device 6 includes several parallelly arranged loading bins as mentioned above, and the loading bins transfer the materials to the material conveying line 8.

[0032] For details, please refer to Figure 4 The material conveying line 8 passes through the visual code scanning mechanism 7 and the grabbing device 9 in turn. The visual code scanning mechanism 7 locates the materials distributed on the material conveying line 8, and the grabbing device 9 is used to grab the materials on the material conveying line 8. The grabbing device 9 mainly uses a robot, and the robot grabs the materials through a gripper. The material conveying line 8 uses a frosted belt line. Because the material itself is light, the frosted belt line can increase the friction of the conveying transmission, ensuring that the material will not deviate or roll during the conveying process after visual positioning, causing the material to be unable to be grabbed.

[0033] The pallet input line 5 is connected to the pallet positioning line 10, which is connected to the pallet output line 11. The pallet positioning line 10 passes through the grabbing device 9, which grabs the material and places it on the pallet of the pallet positioning line 10. The pallet positioning line 10 uses an auxiliary start block at the placement position of the roller line, and a positioning pin is installed under the electric roller. Before the placement operation, the positioning pin below is lifted to accurately position the start block.

[0034] The connection between the pallet input line 5 and the pallet output line 11 and the pallet positioning line 10 is provided with a side push steering mechanism 12, which steers the pallet. The side push steering mechanism 12 uses a pneumatic device to push the pallet in the opposite direction of the pallet steering direction, so that when the pallet enters the pallet positioning line 10 after the transfer and steering is completed, the pallet will not be deflected due to the transfer reversal.

[0035] Working process: manually place the stacked empty pallets for injection molding on the pallet input line 5, and the pallet input line 5 disassembles the stacked empty pallets, and the disassembled empty pallets for injection molding flow from the pallet input line 5 to the pallet positioning line 10. When the empty pallets for injection molding flow to the connection between the pallet positioning line 10 and the pallet input line 5, the side push steering mechanism 12 will steer the empty pallets for injection molding, and then the empty pallets for injection molding flow to the pallet positioning line 10, and after entering the grabbing device 9, the empty pallets for injection molding are precisely positioned.

[0036] The shell materials stacked in the blue material box are taken out manually one by one and placed in the loading device 6. The materials are discharged from the loading bin into the grasping device 9, and the materials are grasped by the parallel robot. The robot adopts an independent gripper design and adopts a three-grab-one-release strategy. The robot adjusts the gripper position through the positioning information of the visual scanning mechanism 7, and places the shell materials on the precisely positioned injection molding empty pallet after gripping them. Abnormally deformed parts on the material conveying belt are removed to the end waste box.

[0037] After the shell materials are stacked on the empty injection molding pallet, they flow to the connection between the pallet positioning line 10 and the pallet output line 11. The side push steering mechanism 12 turns the full injection molding pallet, and the full injection molding pallet flows to the pallet output line 11. The pallet output line 11 completes the encoding action. After the encoding is completed, the stacked pallets are transported to the manually placed transfer cart, completing the entire pallet replacement and encoding operation.
