Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of button battery detection equipment, in particular to a button battery tray stacking detection and sorting component. Background Art

[0002] Button batteries are batteries with the appearance of a small button. Generally speaking, they have a small diameter and are thin. Button batteries are classified according to their appearance. The corresponding battery categories include cylindrical batteries, square batteries, and special-shaped batteries.

[0003] Button batteries are widely used in various microelectronic products due to their small size. They are usually made of stainless steel as the positive electrode, and the negative electrode is a round stainless steel cover. There is a sealing ring between the positive and negative electrodes for insulation. The sealing ring is made of nylon. In addition to insulation, the sealing ring can also prevent electrolyte leakage.

[0004] In order to improve the qualified rate of button battery products, inspections are generally arranged in the production process, such as checking whether the negative electrode cap is attached with a lithium tape, whether the lithium tape is damaged or moved, whether the negative electrode cap has a sealing membrane, and whether the positive electrode sheet is finally installed. However, traditionally, manual inspections are used. However, due to the small size of button batteries and the very large production output, the inspection work is very heavy and the efficiency is very low, which affects production efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, in order to improve the detection efficiency of button batteries, it is necessary to design automated detection equipment. Various automated button battery detection solutions have gradually appeared in the market.

[0006] For example, in the patent document with patent number CN201110401952.0 and titled "Online quality detection system for button batteries", an online quality detection system for button batteries is disclosed, which includes a lower computer system and a host computer system, and the upper and lower computer systems are communicatively connected via a system integration module; the above-mentioned lower computer system includes a current and voltage detection module and a machine vision detection module, and the current and voltage detection module includes a metal probe module for connecting the button batteries to be tested, a central processing unit module and an auxiliary sensing module; the above-mentioned machine vision detection module includes an image acquisition module and an image processing module, and the image acquisition module is composed of a light source, an industrial camera and a lens; the image processing module realizes analysis, processing, wavelet analysis, feature extraction, template matching, defect detection and other operations on the acquired images.

[0007] However, since button batteries are often stored in multiples on a pallet for sale after production, and multiple pallets are stacked during production and storage, even if the inspection process can be completed automatically, workers are still required to manually separate each stacked pallet one by one before sending them to the inspection equipment for inspection. The efficiency of separation and transportation is low, and there is a risk of button batteries in the pallet being thrown out during movement, so there is much room for improvement.

The translation slide is driven and connected to a translation push rod, and telescopic clamps are symmetrically arranged on the side of the electromagnet plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the electromagnet plate and the telescopic clamping claw are both installed on a suction cup base plate, and a lifting module is connected to the top of the suction cup base plate.

[0011] Furthermore, a magnetic shield is provided at the bottom of the suction cup substrate, the electromagnet plate is lifted and sleeved in the magnetic shield, and the top of the electromagnet plate is connected to a plate lifting drive fixed on the suction cup substrate.

[0035] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a button battery tray stacking detection and sorting component, including a tray separation mechanism 1, a conveyor belt 2 and a detection camera 3, the tray separation mechanism 1 is arranged on the front end side of the conveyor belt 2, the detection camera 3 is arranged above the conveyor belt 2 corresponding to the downstream of the tray separation mechanism 1, and a tray storage slot 4 is arranged below the tray separation mechanism 1. The tray separation mechanism 1 includes an electromagnet plate 101, and a lifting module is connected above the electromagnet plate 101. The lifting module is installed on a translation slide 104, and the translation slide 104 is driven and connected to a translation push rod 105. The side of the electromagnet plate 101 is also symmetrically provided with telescopic clamps.

[0036] When in use, the electromagnet plate 101 above the tray storage slot 4 is lowered to the top of the tray through the lifting module and is in contact with it. Then, the electromagnet plate 101 is powered on, the telescopic clamp is tightened, and the lifting module and the translation push rod 105 work together to lift the single tray on the top and translate it onto the conveyor belt 2. Then, the electromagnet plate 101 is powered off and demagnetized, the telescopic clamp is released, and the tray is placed on the conveyor belt 2 and transported forward to the detection camera 3 for detection. The pallet that has been detected is sent out of the equipment via the conveyor belt 2.

[0037] Since the present embodiment only improves the separation mechanism of the stacked trays and the layout of the detection conveying equipment, and the use of the detection camera 3 for product detection is an existing technology widely used in the market, the working principle of the detection camera 3 will not be described in detail here.

[0038] The electromagnet plate 101 and the telescopic clamping claw are both mounted on a suction cup base plate 106, and a lifting module is connected to the upper side of the suction cup base plate 106. The suction cup base plate 106 can improve the structural strength.

[0039] The bottom of the suction cup substrate 106 is provided with a magnetic shield 107, the electromagnetic plate 101 is lifted and sleeved in the magnetic shield 107, and the top of the electromagnetic plate 101 is connected to a plate lifting drive 108 fixed on the suction cup substrate 106. Since there is a risk of leakage when the button battery contacts the metal electromagnetic plate 101, the magnetic shield 107 is provided to improve the safety when the button battery is adsorbed, and the design that the electromagnetic plate 101 can be lifted and lowered can avoid the button battery still sticking to the magnetic shield 107 when the tray falls due to incomplete demagnetization of the electromagnetic plate 101 after power is turned off.

[0040] The lifting module includes a lifting cylinder 102 and a plurality of guide pillars 103, wherein the guide pillars 103 are vertically movably sleeved in a translation slide 104, and the bottom of the guide pillars 103 is fixedly connected to the top of a suction cup base plate 106. The design of the lifting cylinder 102 and the plurality of guide pillars 103 can ensure the lifting stability of the tray grabbing mechanism and prevent the tray from shaking and shifting during lifting.

[0041] The telescopic clamp includes a telescopic drive 501 and a clamping plate 502. The side of the tray storage slot 4 is provided with an air-avoiding opening 401 corresponding to the clamping plate 502. The air-avoiding opening 401 can prevent the telescopic clamp from being blocked by the tray storage slot 4 when grabbing the tray, resulting in a grabbing failure.

[0042] The bottom of the tray storage slot 4 is provided with a lifting plate 402, and the top of the tray storage slot 4 is provided with a tray sensing module 403, and the tray sensing module 403 is electrically connected to the lifting plate 402. The lifting plate 402 can be automatically raised as the number of trays stacked decreases. The lifting stroke of the lifting module of the electromagnetic plate 101 is fixed each time, which can improve the tray separation efficiency and reduce the volume and power consumption of the lifting module. The tray sensing module 403 can use a commonly used photoelectric sensor on the market, and automatically trigger the lifting plate 402 to rise after detecting that the tray at the top of the tray storage slot 4 is taken out.

[0043] A closing mechanism 6 is provided on the conveyor belt 2 at the downstream of the detection camera 3. The closing mechanism 6 includes a closing clamping groove 601 and a pallet lifting frame 603. The closing clamping groove 601 is provided above the conveyor belt 2. A clamping block 602 is rotatably connected to the inner bottom of the closing clamping groove 601. The pallet lifting frame 603 is connected to a closing lifting drive 604. After the pallet that has completed the inspection is transported to the bottom of the closing clamping groove 601 by the conveyor belt 2, it is lifted up by the pallet lifting frame 603 and enters the closing clamping groove 601. The clamping block 602 can only be turned up, and then the pallet can be clamped in the closing clamping groove 601, so that the pallet cannot fall. Subsequently, the newly entered pallet will overlap the bottom of the previous pallet to form a pallet stack, which is convenient for workers to take out the whole stack of pallets with the same inspection result from the top of the closing clamping groove 601.

[0044] A plurality of tray closing mechanisms 6 are arranged on the conveyor belt 2. The plurality of tray closing mechanisms 6 facilitates automatic stacking of trays of different qualities according to the detection results, thereby significantly improving the automation of the detection.

[0045] A plurality of pallet holders 201 are arranged and installed on the conveyor belt 2. The pallet holders 201 can ensure the positioning accuracy of the pallet when it is transported on the conveyor belt 2, so that the pallet can accurately reach each work station.

[0046] A fill light ring (not shown) is coaxially arranged below the detection camera 3. The fill light ring can illuminate the tray storing a plurality of button batteries to be detected below the detection camera 3, so as to avoid the inability to take photos and detect normally due to insufficient ambient light.

[0047] The above contents are further detailed descriptions of the present invention in combination with specific preferred implementation modes. It cannot be determined that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. That is, all equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of this application should still fall within the scope of the present invention.
