[0023] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0024] The present application relates to an information collection device, which includes an information collection component and a lifting device. When the lifting device lifts and rotates the battery, the information collection component collects information about the battery, and a host computer of a sorting machine identifies and classifies the battery according to the collected information.

[0025] Further, the information collection device includes a conveying device, the conveying device includes a conveying roller or a conveyor belt or a chain plate or a manipulator, the conveying device has a conveying channel, and the lifting device is below the conveying channel. It can be understood that the conveying device conveys the cup containing the battery to the top of the position where the lifting device is located.

[0026] As an implementation mode, the information collection component collects the battery information by scanning a code. Specifically, the information collection component includes a code scanning gun, and the code scanning gun scans the code information of the battery. Further, the first information collection component includes a light source.

[0027] Furthermore, the information collection component includes a bracket component, the barcode scanning gun is connected to the bracket component, the bracket component is connected to the frame of the sorting machine, or the bracket component is connected to the side panel or frame of the conveying device.

[0028] In some examples, the position of the barcode scanner is adjustable. Specifically, the bracket assembly is designed to be movable to adjust the position of the barcode scanner. Further, the bracket assembly can adjust the position of the barcode scanner in the three-axis directions of X, Y, and Z.

[0029] Of course, as an alternative, it can also be designed as follows: the information acquisition component acquires the image of the battery for the host computer of the sorting machine to recognize the image. Specifically, the information acquisition component includes a camera.

[0030] The other components and operations of the information collection device have been recorded in the relevant technology for ordinary technicians in this field and will not be described in detail here. The structure of the lifting device and the rotating device will be introduced below.

[0031] The present application relates to a lifting device, which includes a lifting drive 201 and a rotating device. The lifting drive 201 includes a cylinder or a motor.

[0032] The present application relates to a rotating device, which includes a mounting plate 101 and a plurality of supporting components 102. The supporting components 102 are arranged on the mounting plate 101 and can rotate around their own axis. The mounting plate 101 is connected to a lifting driver 201. It can be understood that the lifting driver 201 lifts the mounting plate 101 so that the supporting components 102 lift the battery in the support cup.

[0033] Further, the rotating device includes a first driver 103, which is disposed on the mounting plate 101, and the first driver 103 drives the supporting component 102 to rotate. It can be understood that the supporting component 102 is rotatably disposed on the mounting plate 101, so that after the supporting component 102 lifts the battery, the supporting component 102 drives the battery to rotate, so that the information collection component scans or takes a picture of the battery.

[0034] As an embodiment, the support component 102 is connected to the battery in a magnetic way to prevent the battery from shifting. Specifically, the support component 102 is provided with a magnetic structure, and the magnetic structure is provided as a magnet. Alternatively, the support component 102 is made of a magnetic material.

[0035] Regarding the way in which the support component 102 is connected to the battery, as an alternative, it can also be designed as follows: in some examples, the support component 102 is connected to the battery by electromagnetic adsorption. In some examples, the support component 102 is connected to the battery by negative pressure adsorption, and a negative pressure nozzle or negative pressure hole is provided on the top of the support component 102.

[0036] It should be noted that there are multiple information collection components, and the information collection components can be set to correspond one to one with the support components 102, or one information collection component can be set to collect information of batteries on multiple support components 102, so as to improve efficiency and save costs.

[0037] As an implementation manner, corresponding to the arrangement of the batteries, the support components 102 are arranged in at least one row.

[0038] It is understandable that, driven by the first driver 103 , each supporting component 102 rotates simultaneously, ensuring that the information collection device can collect information about the batteries on each supporting component 102 , thereby improving efficiency, reducing the number of drivers, and saving costs.

[0039] Furthermore, under the driving of the first driver 103 , the supporting component 102 is driven to rotate in a gear meshing manner.

[0040] In some examples, the support components 102 are driven by gear meshing to achieve simultaneous rotation of the support components 102. In this case, the first driver 103 drives one of the support components 102 to rotate, and the support components 102 are driven by gear meshing to achieve simultaneous rotation. Specifically, the rotating device includes a driven gear 104, which is connected to the support component 102 or the support component 102 and the driven gear 104 are integrally formed, and two adjacent support components 102 are driven by the driven gear 104 meshing.

[0041] In some examples, the rotating device includes a driving gear 105, and the driving gear 105 is connected to the first driver 103, and the first driver 103 includes a motor. It is understandable that the first driver 103 drives the driving gear 105 to rotate, and the driving gear 105 drives the driven gear 104 of one of the supporting components 102 to rotate, thereby driving each supporting component 102 to rotate. Specifically, the driving gear 105 is meshed with one of the driven gears 104 for transmission; or the driving gear 105 is transmitted to one of the driven gears 104 through a transmission gear; or the driving gear 105 drives one of the driven gears 104 to rotate through a synchronous belt.

[0042] Regarding the method of driving the support component 102 to rotate by gear meshing, there are also the following alternative solutions.

[0043] In some examples, the supporting components 102 are driven to rotate by a synchronous belt. Specifically, the driven gears 104 of each supporting component 102 are meshed with the toothed structure of the synchronous belt, and the driving gear 105 drives the synchronous belt to operate.

[0044] In some examples, the rack drives the support member 102 to rotate. Specifically, the driven gear 104 of each support member 102 is meshed with the rack, and the driving gear 105 is meshed with the rack. Alternatively, the first driver 103 is connected to the rack to drive the rack to move. In this case, the first driver 103 has a telescopic rod.

[0045] In some examples, a rotation shaft of one of the driven gears 104 is connected to a rotation shaft of the first driver 103 , or one of the supporting components 102 is connected to a rotation shaft of the first driver 103 .

[0046] Based on the above description of the rotating device, a supplementary explanation of the lifting device is given.

[0047] As an embodiment, the jacking device includes a jacking guide structure 202, which is configured as a guide rod, and the mounting plate 101 is connected to the jacking guide structure 202, and the jacking guide structure 202 is slidably connected to the frame or bottom plate of the sorting machine. During the jacking process, the mounting plate 101 moves smoothly under the guidance of the jacking guide structure 202.

[0048] In some examples, the design can be replaced as follows: the lifting guide structure 202 is connected to the frame or bottom plate of the sorting machine or the lifting guide structure 202 is connected to the frame or bottom plate of the conveying device, the mounting plate 101 is slidably connected to the lifting guide structure 202, and during the lifting process, the mounting plate 101 moves along the lifting guide structure 202. Specifically, the lifting guide structure 202 is set as a guide rod or a guide rail, or the lifting guide structure 202 is set as a guide groove on the frame of the sorting machine or the conveying device.

[0049] Based on the above description of the lifting device and the rotating device, a supplementary explanation is given to the information collection device.

[0050] As an embodiment, the conveying device is provided with an avoidance zone, which runs from the bottom of the conveying device to the conveying channel, so that the support component 102 passes through the avoidance zone to lift the battery. It can be understood that when the position of the support component 102 is lower than the surface of the conveying device conveying the cup, it can avoid the conveying cup, and when the cup moves into place, the support component 102 passes through the avoidance zone and lifts the battery.

[0051] In some examples, the gaps between the chain plates in the conveying device, the gaps between the conveying belts, or the gaps between the conveying rollers are used as the avoidance zones. In some examples, the frame of the conveying device is provided with a through avoidance zone.

[0052] Regarding the way in which the lifting device lifts the battery from the support cup, the design can also be replaced as follows: the lifting drive 201 is connected to the conveying device, and under the drive of the lifting drive 201, the conveying device moves toward the position of the rotating device, so that the support component 102 passes through the avoidance area of ​​the conveying device and lifts the battery.

[0053] The present application relates to a tray cup, in which batteries are placed, and an information collection device is used to collect information from the batteries in the tray cup.

[0054] Furthermore, the bottom of the support cup has a through area 301 , and the support component 102 can pass through the through area 301 and extend into the support cup to lift and rotate the battery.

[0055] It is understandable that the support component 102 lifts up the battery in the support cup, which can avoid friction between the bottom of the battery and the support cup during rotation and improve stability. On the other hand, it is convenient to collect battery information and improve the accuracy of information collection.

In this specification, the schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0057] The above describes the implementation methods of the present application in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present application is not limited to the above implementation methods. Various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present application.
