[0042] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0043] The embodiments of the present application provide a nail separation mechanism, a feeding module and a multi-channel automatic nail insertion machine, which can solve the problem that the nail feeding structure in the related art is difficult to achieve one-to-multi-channel nail feeding.

[0044] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first aspect of the embodiment of the present application provides a nail separation mechanism, including:

[0045] The nail box 10 is provided with a nail inlet 11 and at least two nail outlets 12;

[0046] A nail separation block 13 is disposed in the nail separation box 10. The nail separation block 13 is provided with a nail separation cavity 131 for receiving the glue nails entering from the nail entry port 11, and a nail blowing pipe 132 for blowing the glue nails from the nail separation cavity 131 to the nail exit port 12;

[0047] The driving member 14 is disposed on the nail separation box 10 , and the driving member 14 can drive the nail separation block 13 to move so that the nail separation cavity 131 is connected to the nail entry port 11 or any nail exit port 12 .

[0048] The nail outlet 12 of the nail separation mechanism in the embodiment of the present application is used to connect to the nail delivery pipeline. When the nail separation cavity 131 is connected to the nail entry cavity 11, nail insertion can be achieved. When the nail separation cavity 131 is connected to the nail outlet 12, compressed gas can be introduced into the nail blowing tube 132 to blow the glue nails along the nail outlet 12 to the nail delivery pipeline. Furthermore, by setting multiple nail outlets 12 and using the nail separation cavity 131 to connect to different nail outlets 12, one-to-multi-channel nail delivery can be achieved, thereby meeting the multi-channel nail removal requirements of the equipment.

[0049] Exemplarily, the dimension of the nail block 13 along the length direction of the nail cavity 131 is equal to the length of the glue nail, and the end faces where the openings at both ends of the nail cavity 131 of the nail block 13 are located are slidably connected to the inner wall surface of the nail box 10, and the two wall surfaces where the nail box 10 and the nail block 13 are slidably connected are respectively provided with a nail entry opening 11 and multiple nail exit openings 12, and the driving member 14 is a cylinder fixed on the nail box 10 and its movable end is fixedly connected to the nail block 13.

[0050] Among them, the projections of the nail entry port 11 and the nail exit port 12 in the length direction of the nail cavity 131 do not overlap, which can ensure that the nail cavity 131 can be staggered with the nail exit port 12 when docking with the nail entry port 11, which is convenient for a single glue nail to enter. At the same time, it can ensure that the nail cavity 131 can be staggered with the nail entry port 11 when docking with the nail exit port 12, which is convenient for introducing compressed gas into the nail blowing tube 132 to blow out the glue nails in the nail cavity 131.

[0051] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the second aspect of the embodiment of the present application provides a feeding module, including:

[0052] The nail separation mechanism of any one of the above embodiments;

[0053] A vibrating discharge part, the vibrating discharge part is connected to a nail inlet 11 of the nail separation mechanism;

[0054] The glue nail output part is connected to the nail outlet 12 of the nail separation mechanism.

[0055] The vibrating discharge part includes a vibrating plate 15, a conveying track 18 is connected between the discharge port of the vibrating plate 15 and the nail inlet 11 of the nail box 10, and a blow pipe 19 is provided on one side of the conveying track 18 to move the glue nails toward the nail box 10;

[0056] The glue nail output part includes a support platform 16 and pipe columns 17 arranged on the support platform 16 and corresponding to the number of the nail outlets 12. Each nail outlet 12 is connected to the pipe column 17 through a pipeline in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0057] The vibrating discharge part of the embodiment of the present application adopts a vibrating plate 15 for feeding, the vibrating plate 15 is fixed on the machine table 40, the discharge port of the vibrating plate 15 and the nail inlet 11 of the nail box 10 are connected through a conveying track 18, and an air blowing pipe 19 is installed above the conveying track 18. The support platform 16 of the glue nail output part is fixed above the machine table 40, and a plurality of pipe columns 17 are fixed on the support platform 16. The lower end of each pipe column 17 is connected to the nail outlet 12 of the nail box 10 through a pipeline in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0058] When in use, the vibration plate 15 transports the glue nails to the conveying track 18 for arrangement. By passing compressed gas into the blowing pipe 19, the airflow generated at the air outlet of the blowing pipe 19 can push the glue nails to move toward the nail box 10, thereby ensuring that the glue nails enter the docking nail cavity 131 from the nail inlet 11.

[0059] When the nail separation cavity 131 is loaded with the glue nail, the nail separation block 13 is driven to move by the driving member 14, so that the nail separation cavity 131 is connected with the nail outlet 12, and compressed gas is introduced into the nail blowing tube 132. After the gas enters the nail separation cavity 131, the glue nail can be pushed to move toward the nail outlet 12. Since the lower end of the pipe column 17 is connected with the nail outlet 12 through the pipeline, the glue nail can be moved out from the upper end of the pipe column 17 under the push of the gas and picked up by the glue nail picking mechanism connected to the upper end of the pipe column 17.

[0060] See also Figure 4 As shown, the third aspect of the embodiment of the present application provides a multi-channel automatic nail inserting machine, comprising:

[0061] A feeding module according to any one of the above embodiments;

[0062] The industrial robot 20 has a working end provided with a glue nail picking mechanism for grabbing the glue nails output by the feeding module.

[0063] The multi-channel automatic nail insertion machine of the embodiment of the present application utilizes the industrial robot 20 to drive the glue nail picking mechanism to connect with the open end of the tube column 17 of the glue nail output part, so as to facilitate the picking up of the glue nails blown out from the open end of the tube column 17. At the same time, the industrial robot 20 can be used to drive the glue nail picking mechanism to press the picked up glue nails into the liquid filling port of the battery.

[0064] In some alternative embodiments: See Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a multi-channel automatic nail inserting machine, in which a force sensor 21 is connected between the working end of the industrial robot 20 and the nail picking mechanism, and the force sensor 21 is used to detect the pressure when the battery is inserted with nails.

[0065] A force sensor 21 is installed between the working end of the industrial robot 20 and the glue nail picking mechanism of the embodiment of the present application. When the industrial robot 20 controls the glue nail picking mechanism to press the picked-up glue nail into the battery filling port, the force sensor 21 can measure the pressure of the glue nail on the battery when the nail is inserted. By controlling the pressure to an appropriate level, it can ensure that the glue nail is tightly inserted into the battery filling port, thereby avoiding the situation where the glue nail is not inserted into place to a certain extent.

[0066] In some alternative embodiments: See Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a multi-channel automatic nail inserting machine, and the glue nail picking mechanism of the multi-channel automatic nail inserting machine includes a bracket 22 connected to the working end of the industrial robot 20, and a negative pressure suction nozzle 23 arranged on the bracket 22 and corresponding to the number of pipe columns 17, and the suction end of the negative pressure suction nozzle 23 is provided with a conical surface 24 that cooperates with the glue nail.

[0067] The glue nail picking mechanism of the embodiment of the present application is achieved by installing a bracket 22 on the working end of the industrial robot 20, and then a plurality of negative pressure suction nozzles 23 can be installed using the bracket 22. The negative pressure suction nozzles 23 are connected to an external vacuum device. When in use, the plurality of negative pressure suction nozzles 23 are controlled to dock with the top ends of a plurality of pipe columns 17. The external vacuum device draws negative pressure on the negative pressure suction nozzles 23, thereby adsorbing the glue nails blown out from the top ends of the pipe columns 17.

[0068] In addition, in order to better adapt to the surface of the glue nail, the suction end of the negative pressure suction nozzle 23 is set to a conical surface 24 that matches the surface of the glue nail. When the conical surface 24 is in contact with the glue nail, it can better close the suction end of the negative pressure suction nozzle 23, thereby ensuring that the negative pressure suction nozzle 23 can smoothly pick up the glue nail.

[0069] In some alternative embodiments: See Figure 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a multi-channel automatic nail insertion machine, on which a bracket 22 of the multi-channel automatic nail insertion machine is slidably connected along a first direction thereof with an adjustment block 25, the adjustment block 25 is provided with a locking handle 26 for tightening the bracket 22, a guide rod 27 is connected to the adjustment block 25, a negative pressure suction nozzle 23 is slidably connected to the guide rod 27 along a second direction of the bracket 22, and the negative pressure suction nozzle 23 is provided with a fixing screw 28 for tightening the guide rod 27.

[0070] The bracket 22 of the embodiment of the present application is slidably connected with an adjustment block 25 along a first direction thereof, and the first direction corresponds to the width direction of the bracket 22. The locking handle 26 is threadedly connected to the adjustment block 25. By loosening the locking handle 26, the adjustment block 25 can be slid along the width direction of the bracket 22 to change the position of the negative pressure suction nozzle 23 connected thereto. When the positions of the two negative pressure suction nozzles 23 in the width direction of the bracket 22 are appropriate, the bracket 22 can be tightened by tightening the locking handle 26, thereby fixing and maintaining the position of the negative pressure suction nozzle 23.

[0071] In addition, the negative pressure suction nozzle 23 is connected to the guide rod 27 by sliding along the second direction of the bracket 22, and the second direction corresponds to the length direction of the bracket 22. The negative pressure suction nozzle 23 is threaded with a set screw 28. By loosening the set screw 28, the negative pressure suction nozzle 23 can be slid on the guide rod 27 along the length direction of the bracket 22. When the positions of the two negative pressure suction nozzles 23 in the length direction of the bracket 22 are appropriate, the guide rod 27 is tightened by tightening the set screw 28, thereby fixing and maintaining the position of the negative pressure suction nozzle 23. Therefore, the lateral and longitudinal spacing of the negative pressure suction nozzle 23 can be adjusted through the above structure, thereby facilitating the matching of the lateral and longitudinal spacing of the pipe column 17 on the support platform 16.

[0072] In some alternative embodiments: See Figure 6 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a multi-channel automatic nail inserting machine, which also includes a transmission mechanism, which includes a guide frame 30, a plurality of rollers 31 rotatably engaged on the guide frame 30 and used to transport the battery restraint tray, and a position sensor 32 provided on the guide frame 30 and used to detect the position of the battery restraint tray.

Specifically, the transmission mechanism includes a guide frame 30 installed on the machine table 40 and a roller 31 installed on the guide frame 30. Exemplarily, the roller 31 can be driven by a motor to transport the battery restraint tray containing the battery.

[0074] Furthermore, a position sensor 32 for detecting the position of the battery restraint tray is installed on the guide frame 30. When the position sensor 32 detects the battery restraint tray, the roller 31 can be controlled to stop rotating, thereby conveniently controlling the battery restraint tray to stop at the designed position.

[0075] In some alternative embodiments: See Figure 6 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a multi-channel automatic nail inserting machine, which also includes a limiting mechanism, which includes a lifting platform 33 and a plurality of top rods 34 connected to the top surface of the lifting platform 33 and used to lift the battery restraint tray, wherein at least one of the top rods 34 is provided with a micro switch 35 for triggering the battery restraint tray.

[0076] The limiting mechanism of the embodiment of the present application is used for lifting and limiting the battery restraint tray. Specifically, the limiting mechanism includes a lifting platform 33 arranged in the machine platform 40 and a plurality of push rods 34 fixed to the top surface of the lifting platform 33. The push rods 34 are spaced apart between the gaps formed by adjacent rollers 31. When the rollers 31 of the transmission mechanism convey the battery restraint tray into place, the lifting platform 33 can drive the push rods 34 to lift the battery restraint tray to limit the height of the battery restraint tray.

[0077] Furthermore, at least one of the push rods 34 is provided with a micro switch 35 for triggering the battery restraint tray. During the lifting process of the push rod 34, the micro switch 35 can be triggered by the battery restraint tray, which facilitates the detection of the battery restraint tray being lifted up, avoids the situation where the push rod 34 is empty, and facilitates subsequent clamping actions.

[0078] In some alternative embodiments: See Figures 6 to 8 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a multi-channel automatic nail inserting machine, which also includes a clamping mechanism, which includes a mounting frame 36, clamping arms 37 symmetrically arranged on the mounting frame 36, and a telescopic cylinder 38 arranged on the mounting frame 36 and used to drive the clamping arms 37 to clamp the battery restraint tray; it also includes a visual inspection module 39 for detecting whether the position of the glue nails inserted on the battery is correct.

[0079] The clamping mechanism of the embodiment of the present application is used to clamp and fix the battery restraint tray. Specifically, the clamping mechanism includes a mounting frame 36 fixed above the guide frame 30. Clamping arms 37 are symmetrically arranged in the mounting frame 36. The clamping arms 37 are connected to the mounting frame 36 through a telescopic cylinder 38. Exemplarily, the telescopic cylinder 38 adopts a pneumatic cylinder. When the battery restraint tray is lifted into place, the pneumatic cylinder can drive the clamping arms 37 on both sides to clamp and fix the battery restraint tray, thereby facilitating the subsequent nail insertion action.

[0080] The embodiment of the present application also includes a visual inspection module 39 for detecting whether the position of the glue nail inserted on the battery is correct. Exemplarily, the visual inspection module 39 uses a CCD camera, and the CCD camera is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 36.
