Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model discloses a battery core and a support cup separation mechanism, belongs to the technical field of battery circulation equipment, and specifically relates to a cam-driven battery core and a support cup separation mechanism. Background Art

[0002] At present, most cylindrical batteries are equipped with a tray at the bottom during the circulation process. The circulation of cells with trays increases the stability of material circulation. At the same time, the material information on the tray can be bound to the cell (QR code & RFID) to facilitate the identification of relevant information of the cell. In order to ensure the circulation stability of the cell, most manufacturers will set a counterweight metal ring at the bottom of the tray. Due to the high density of metal, when X-rays penetrate, the high-density material on the outside will block the internal winding layer, affecting the image acquisition and causing the failure of X-ray detection. This requires the cell to be separated from the tray or lifted to a certain height to avoid the counterweight metal ring before entering the inspection station. In order to solve this problem, a mechanism has been developed to separate or lift the cell from the tray during the cell transportation process. Utility Model Content

[0026] In one embodiment, Figures 1 to 3As shown, the rotating assembly 3 includes: a divider 19, a turntable 20, a flow disk 21 and a fixed disk 22;

[0027] The turntable 20 is connected to the divider 19 to rotate along with the divider 19 , and the flow disk 21 is fixedly mounted on the turntable 20 to rotate along with the turntable 20 ; the fixed disk 22 is fixedly mounted on the divider 19 and cooperates with the flow disk 21 .

[0028] In one embodiment, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the flow disk 21 is provided with a plurality of identical grooves and forms a battery cell cup placement groove with the fixed disk 22. A through hole is provided at the bottom of the cup placement groove area on the fixed disk 22, and the top block 18 is located in the through hole.

[0029] In one embodiment, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the first slide rail 9 , the first slider 10 , the connecting block 11 and the cam follower 12 are provided in two groups and are respectively installed on both sides of the follower block 13 , and the two cam followers 12 are respectively connected to the two sides of the double-sided cam 6 .

[0030] In one embodiment, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a motor and a rotating shaft 23 are provided outside the cam mechanism 2, the rotating shaft of the motor is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 23, the other end of the rotating shaft 23 is connected to the double-sided cam 6, the rotating shaft 23 is installed on the support frame 5 through a bearing seat, and the motor drives the double-sided cam 6 to rotate through the rotating shaft 23.

[0031] In one embodiment, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a limiting groove is opened on the top of the fixing plate 22, and the limiting block 16 is located in the limiting groove when extended, and a U-shaped groove is opened on the limiting block 16. .

[0032] Working principle: When the utility model is working, the battery cell and the support cup are placed in the battery cell support cup placement groove, so that the divider 19 in the rotating assembly 3 rotates, driving the turntable 20 to rotate, thereby driving the flow disk 21 to rotate, thereby driving the battery cell and the support cup to move in the fixed disk 22. At the same time, when the divider 19 is working, the lifting limit assembly 4 also works. As the motor rotates, the double-sided cam 6 is driven to rotate through the rotating shaft 23, thereby driving the connecting block 11 to move up and down on the first slide rail 9 through the first slider 10 through the cam follower 12. When the first slider 10 moves upward, it drives the following block 13 upward synchronously, and at the same time, as the following wheel 17 is in the following groove of the following block 13, it drives the following wheel 17 to move backward, so that the following wheel 17 drives the limit block 16 to move backward on the second slide rail 14 through the second slider 15. When the first slider 10 moves downward, it drives the following block 13 downward synchronously, and at the same time, as the following wheel 17 is in the following groove of the following block 13, it drives the following wheel 17 to move forward, so that the following wheel 17 drives the limit block 16 to move forward on the second slide rail 14 through the second slider 15;

[0033] When the first slider 10 is upward, the top block 18 lifts the battery cell, and at this time the second slider 15 is retracted and the limit block 16 is retracted; when the first slider 10 is downward, the top block 18 releases the battery cell, and at this time the second slider 15 is extended, and the limit block 16 is extended to clamp the support cup, and the two actions of lifting the battery cell and clamping the support cup are realized according to the change of the cam groove diameter. The cam is a double-sided cam 6, and the same cam part is set with a double-sided motion trajectory, which ensures both processing accuracy and consistency of action.

[0034] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the invention of the utility model.
