[0028] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the embodiment of the utility model provides a feeding device 10 for cylindrical batteries, which includes a frame structure 100 and a feeding device 200; the frame structure 100 includes a frame body 110 and a storage bin 120, the storage bin 120 is arranged on the frame body 110, and the storage bin 120 is provided with a storage cavity 121; the feeding device 200 includes a driving component 210 and a plurality of groups of feeding components 220, the driving component 210 is connected to the frame body 110, and the plurality of groups of feeding components 220 are respectively connected to the driving component 210 and are stepped. Layout; The loading assembly 220 includes a fixed plate 221 and a movable plate 222, the fixed plate 221 is connected to the frame 110, and the movable plate 222 is connected to the driving assembly 210. The fixed plate 221 in the upper group of loading assemblies 220 is arranged close to the movable plate 222 in the lower group of loading assemblies 220. The driving assembly 210 is used to drive the movable plate 222 to move relative to the fixed plate 221, so that the cylindrical battery 20 moves from the movable plate 222 to the fixed plate 221 until it moves to the lower group of loading assemblies 220.

[0029] When using the feeding device 10 of this embodiment, the driving component 210 can drive the movable plates 222 in multiple groups of loading components 220 to move synchronously. During the movement, the cylindrical batteries 20 in the storage bin 120 or the previous group of loading components 220 can be transported to the fixed plate 221 of the next group of loading components 220. Through multiple repeated movements of the driving component 210, the cylindrical batteries 20 can be driven to move sequentially in the multiple groups of loading components 220 in a stepped layout, and the direction of the cylindrical batteries 20 can be regularized during the movement.

[0030] In the feeding device 10 of the present embodiment, by arranging the driving assembly 210 and the loading assembly 220 to cooperate, the cylindrical batteries 20 can be quickly loaded and arranged, the overall structure is simple and compact, and the feeding efficiency is high.

[0031] Specifically, the storage bin 120 is provided with a guide surface 122, which is arranged at the bottom of the storage cavity 121 and is inclined or arc-shaped. The guide surface 122 is used to drive the cylindrical battery 20 in the storage cavity 121 to move toward the loading assembly 220; the fixed plate 221 is provided with a placement slope 2211, and the movable plate 222 is provided with a loading slope 22211. The placement slope 2211 and the loading slope 22211 are both inclined downward along the direction of the movable plate 222 toward the fixed plate 221.

[0032] According to the configuration, after the cylindrical battery 20 is placed in the storage bin 120, by setting the inclined surface or the arc surface in contact with the cylindrical battery 20, the cylindrical battery 20 can move along the guide surface 122 under the action of gravity until it moves to the movable plate 222 of the loading assembly 220. The movable plate 222 is driven by the driving assembly 210 to drive the cylindrical battery 20 in the storage cavity 121 to move to the fixed plate 221. Since the loading inclined surface 22211 is provided on the movable plate 222, when the cylindrical battery 20 moves to the movable plate 222, the loading inclined surface 2221 1 can drive the cylindrical battery 20 to have a tendency to move toward the fixed plate 221. When the movable plate 222 moves to be flush with the fixed plate 221, the cylindrical battery 20 on the loading slope 22211 can move to the placement slope 2211 of the fixed plate 221. At this time, the side of the cylindrical battery 20 can contact the movable plate 222 in the next group of loading components 220 and be positioned by the movable plate 222; the driving component 210 repeatedly drives the multiple groups of movable plates 222 to move up and down, so that the cylindrical battery 20 can be driven to be transported along the multiple groups of stepped loading components 220.

[0033] In one embodiment, the driving assembly 210 includes a driving cylinder 211, a fixed frame 212 and a connecting plate 213. The fixed frame 212 is connected to the frame body 110. The driving cylinder 211 is arranged on the fixed frame 212 and connected to the connecting plate 213. The movable plates 222 in the multiple groups of feeding assemblies 220 are respectively connected to the connecting plates 213.

[0034] In this embodiment, the driving component 210 is arranged inside the frame 110 and at the rear side of the loading component 220, so that the overall structure of the feeding equipment 10 is compact; when the driving cylinder 211 is started, it can drive the connecting plate 213 to move, thereby the connecting plate 213 can simultaneously drive the movable plates 222 in multiple groups of loading components 220 to move synchronously. By setting up a driving component 210, the driving function of multiple groups of loading components 220 can be realized. The overall structure is simple and the manufacturing and maintenance costs are low.

[0035] Furthermore, the driving assembly 210 further includes a guide rod 214 , which is connected to the connecting plate 213 and slidably matched with the fixing frame 212 .

[0036] By providing the guide rods 214 and the connecting plate 213 to cooperate with the fixing frame 212, the movement of the movable plate 222 can be guided to improve the movement stability of the movable plate 222. In a preferred embodiment, the number of the guide rods 214 is multiple groups, and the multiple groups of guide rods 214 are arranged in parallel and respectively connected to the connecting plate 213. By providing the multiple groups of guide rods 214 to slide with the fixing frame 212, the movement smoothness of the movable plate 222 can be further improved.

[0037] In one embodiment, the loading device 200 also includes a loading plate 230, which is disposed on a side of the loading assembly 220 and connected to the frame 110. The loading plate 230 and the loading assembly 220 are enclosed to form a loading space for accommodating the cylindrical battery 20, and the loading space is connected to the storage cavity 121.

[0038] In this embodiment, the loading plate 230 is disposed on the side of the loading assembly 220 , which can prevent the cylindrical battery 20 from detaching from the side of the loading assembly 220 , thereby limiting the movement of the cylindrical battery 20 in the loading assembly 220 .

[0039] Furthermore, the loading vertical plate 230 is provided with a plurality of guide grooves 231 , the movable plate 222 includes a movable body 2221 and a guide body 2222 , the movable body 2221 is connected to the driving assembly 210 , the guide body 2222 is arranged on the side of the movable body 2221 , and the movable plate 222 is slidably matched with the guide groove 231 through the guide body 2222 .

[0040] By setting the guide groove 231 to cooperate with the guide body 2222 of the movable plate 222, not only the smoothness of the movement of the movable plate 222 can be improved, but also the movement of the movable plate 222 can be limited to prevent the movable plate 222 from exceeding the movement range, and at the same time, the stability of the movement of the movable plate 222 relative to the fixed plate 221 can be ensured.

[0041] In one embodiment, the frame structure 100 also includes a return bin 130, which is disposed downstream of the loading assembly 220, and at least one group of the loading assembly 220 is used to drive the cylindrical batteries 20 to move toward the return bin 130; a return guide plate 131 is provided inside the return bin 130, and the return guide plate 131 is arranged toward the storage cavity 121 to drive the cylindrical batteries 20 in the return bin 130 to move toward the storage cavity 121.

[0042] According to the configuration, when there are still cylindrical batteries 20 in a group of loading components 220 connected to the return bin 130, the cylindrical batteries 20 in this group of loading components 220 can be driven by the driving component 210 and transported to the return bin 130, and the cylindrical batteries 20 can be driven back into the storage chamber 121 through the guidance of the return guide plate 131 to re-enter the circulation, which can effectively avoid excessive stacking of cylindrical batteries 20.

[0043] Furthermore, the return material bin 130 also includes a return material inclined plate 132, which is arranged between the return material guide plate 131 and the storage bin 120, and the width of the return material inclined plate 132 is not greater than the length dimension of the cylindrical battery 20, and the extension direction of the return material inclined surface is parallel to the surface of the movable plate 222.

[0044] In this embodiment, by setting the return material inclined plate 132 and the return material guide plate 131, the return material guide plate 131 can transport the cylindrical battery 20 output by the loading assembly 220 to the return material inclined plate 132. By setting the return material inclined plate 132 to guide the cylindrical battery 20, the cylindrical battery 20 can be guided and regulated in the process of returning to the storage chamber 121. In this way, there is no need to regulate the cylindrical battery 20 in the process of re-entering the circulation, which can effectively improve the loading efficiency of the loading assembly 220.
