Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a battery horizontal synchronous belt sorting line, mainly relating to the field of battery manufacturing. Background Art

[0002] At present, the country vigorously promotes new energy, and the lithium battery industry has also developed greatly. At present, lithium batteries have the advantages of high voltage, high energy, many cycles, and long storage time. They have been widely used in large and medium-sized electric equipment and automobiles.

[0003] However, in the production process of cylindrical lithium batteries, due to the numerous process steps, it is impossible to ensure that the performance of the produced batteries is exactly the same. Therefore, it is necessary to classify the produced batteries, and apply different production processes to batteries with different performances. Under this demand background, cylindrical battery sorting machines came into being. Since cylindrical batteries are usually placed vertically in large quantities in pallets for transportation during the production process, traditional sorting machines stand the batteries upright, and the manipulator directly grabs the batteries and puts them into the jig cup. The jig cup and the battery are sorted together on the grading conveyor line, and then the unloading manipulator takes the battery from the grading conveyor line and puts it into trays of different grades. The cylindrical battery production line generally has a high beat rate of more than 200PPM, and the vertical jig cup with the battery is easy to fall off on the grading conveyor line. Once the battery cup falls off, the sorting machine needs to be shut down and manually handled, which seriously affects production efficiency and the fallen battery is easy to be damaged.

[0004] In order to solve the problem of the jig cup falling over, a new type of synchronous horizontal sorting machine with a synchronous belt as the conveyor line and the grading line has emerged. A horizontal jig is fixed on the synchronous belt, and the battery lies in the jig, so that the batteries will not touch each other during transportation and will not fall over again. There is a key technical problem that needs to be solved in the synchronous belt grading conveyor line of this grading machine: the batteries placed in the battery grading conveyor line by the sorting mechanical claw are gathered and filled up so that the loading mechanism can grab the batteries in a row and load them onto the tray later. The sorting mechanical claw carries a row of batteries. To put the batteries into the grading conveyor line, you first need to align the batteries with the jig slot, and then put the batteries belonging to this gear into the jig of the synchronous conveyor line of this gear. The batteries that do not belong to this gear will not be placed in the synchronous belt conveyor line of this gear, so there will be empty spaces. This affects the battery transportation efficiency.
