Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the feeding device is applied to a battery production system, the battery production system includes a production line and a conveyor belt, and the feeding device is embedded in the production line. The feeding device includes: a mounting frame 10, a silo 20, a transport assembly 30, a blocking assembly 40, and a moving assembly 50.

[0039] The silo 20, the transport assembly 30 and the blocking assembly 40 are all installed on the mounting frame 10; the blocking assembly 40 includes a blocking member 41, a first driving member 42 and a first detecting member 45, the first detecting member 45 is connected to the mounting frame 10, the first driving member 42 is connected to the blocking member 41, and the first driving member 42 is connected to the mounting frame 10, the moving assembly 50 includes a tooling plate 51 and a receiving member 52, the receiving member 52 is fixed to the tooling plate 51, and the tooling plate 51 is movable, the silo 20 is used to receive the connecting piece 100, and the first detecting member 45 is used to detect whether the receiving member 52 reaches the silo 20; when the first detecting member 45 detects that the tooling plate 51 drives the receiving member 52 to move to the silo 20, the first driving member 42 drives the blocking member 41 to move, so that the blocking member 41 blocks the tooling plate 51, and the transport assembly 30 transports the connecting piece 100 in the silo 20 to the receiving member 52. Among them, the tooling plate 51 is used to be set on the conveyor belt.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, since the first driving member 42 is connected to the blocking member 41 and the first driving member 42 is connected to the mounting bracket 10 , the first driving member 42 can drive the blocking member 41 to move. Since the receiving member 52 is fixed to the tooling plate 51, and the tooling plate 51 is used to be set on the conveyor belt, once the tooling plate 51 is set on the conveyor belt, the conveyor belt can drive the tooling plate 51 to move, so that the receiving member 52 moves with the movement of the tooling plate 51, and by setting the first detection member 45, the first detection member 45 can detect in real time whether there is a receiving member 52 at the silo 20. Once the first detection member 45 detects that there is a receiving member 52 at the silo 20, it indicates that the conveyor belt transfers the tooling plate 51 to the silo 20, so that the first detection member 45 detects the receiving member 52. At this time, the first driving member 42 can drive the blocking member 41 to move, so that the blocking member 41 blocks the tooling plate 51, and then the tooling plate 51 stops moving, thereby stopping the receiving member 52, and then the conveying component 30 can convey the connecting piece 100 in the silo 20 to the receiving member 52. That is, in the embodiment of the present application, by setting up the transport component 30, the silo 20, the blocking component 40 and the moving component 50, when the conveyor belt moves the tooling plate 51 of the moving component 50 to the silo 20, the blocking member 41 of the blocking component 40 can block the movement of the tooling plate 51, so that the tooling plate 51 stops moving, and then the connecting plate 100 in the silo 20 can be transported to the receiving member 52 on the tooling plate 51 by the transport component 30 to complete the loading of the connecting plate 100, thereby avoiding manual loading, improving the loading efficiency of the connecting plate 100, and reducing the labor intensity of the operator.

[0041] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, once the first detection member 45 detects the presence of the accommodating member 52 at the silo 20, it indicates that the conveyor belt transfers the tooling plate 51 to the silo 20, so that the first detection member 45 detects the accommodating member 52. At this time, the first driving member 42 can drive the blocking member 41 to move, so that the blocking member 41 blocks the tooling plate 51, and then the tooling plate 51 stops moving.

[0042] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, once the first detection member 45 detects the presence of the accommodating member 52 at the silo 20, the second driving member 43 will also drive the blocking plate 44 to move, so that the blocking plate 44 abuts against the tooling plate 51, thereby separating the tooling plate 51 from the conveyor belt.

[0043] In addition, in practical applications, the feeding device provided in the embodiment of the present application can be embedded in the production line, so that in the process of producing batteries on the production line, the feeding device can be loaded online on the production line. Wherein, the production line has a conveyor belt, and the tooling plate 51 of the moving component 50 can be connected to the conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt can drive the tooling plate 51 to move, so that the receiving member 52 moves. When the conveyor belt drives the tooling plate 51 to move to the silo 20, the blocking member 41 blocks the tooling plate 51 so that the tooling plate 51 stops moving, and the transport component 30 can move the connecting piece 100 in the silo 20 to the receiving member 52, and then the first driving member 42 can drive the blocking member 41 to move, so that the blocking member 41 releases the blocking of the tooling plate 51, and the conveyor belt can continue to drive the tooling plate 51 to move, so that the receiving member 52 drives the connecting piece 100 in the receiving member 52 to move to other processing stations in the production line.

[0044] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the first driving member 42 may be a cylinder. Of course, the first driving member 42 may also be a motor. The specific type of the first driving member 42 is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0045] In addition, in some embodiments, the blocking assembly 40 may also include a second driving member 43 and a blocking plate 44; the second driving member 43 is connected to the mounting frame 10, and the blocking plate 44 is connected to the second driving member 43, and the second driving member 43 is used to drive the blocking plate 44 to move; when the first detection member 45 detects that the tooling plate 51 drives the accommodating member 52 to move to the silo 20, the second driving member 43 drives the blocking plate 44 to move so that the blocking plate 44 abuts against the tooling plate 51 to fix the tooling plate 51.

[0046] With such an arrangement, once the conveyor belt transfers the tooling plate 51 to the silo 20, the second driving member 43 will drive the blocking plate 44 to move, so that the blocking plate 44 will abut against the tooling plate 51, so that the tooling plate 51 is separated from the conveyor belt, and the blocking plate 44 will support the tooling plate 51, so that after the transport component 30 moves the connecting plate 100 in the silo 20 to the receiving member 52 on the tooling plate 51, the connecting plate 100 can be received and carried by the receiving member 52. In addition, by providing the second driving member 43 and the blocking plate 44, it is equivalent to that when the conveyor belt moves the tooling plate 51 to the silo 20, the first driving member 42 cooperates with the second driving member 43, that is, the first driving member 42 drives the blocking member 41 to move, blocking the tooling plate 51, and the second driving member 43 drives the blocking plate 44 to move, so that the blocking plate 44 abuts against the tooling plate 51, and the tooling plate 51 stops moving under the action of the blocking member 41, and the tooling plate 51 is separated from the conveyor belt under the action of the blocking plate 44, thereby ensuring that the tooling plate 51 remains stationary, which is equivalent to fixing the tooling plate 51, so that the handling component 30 moves the connecting plate 100 in the silo 20 to the receiving member 52.

[0047] It should be noted that the number of the second driving members 43 and the number of the blocking plates 44 can be set according to actual needs. For example, the number of the blocking plates 44 and the number of the second driving members 43 are both two, the two second driving members 43 are spaced apart, and one blocking plate 44 is connected to one second driving member 43, so that when the conveyor belt moves the tooling plate 51 to the silo 20, the two second driving members 43 simultaneously drive the two blocking plates 44 to move, and the two blocking plates 44 respectively abut against the opposite sides of the tooling plate 51, so that the tooling plate 51 is separated from the conveyor belt. For another example, the number of the blocking plates 44 and the number of the second driving members 43 are both three. In this regard, the embodiments of the present application are not limited here.

[0048] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, a first positioning pin 441 may be provided on the blocking plate 44, and a pin hole corresponding to the first positioning pin 441 may be provided on the tooling plate 51, so that when the blocking plate 44 is driven by the second driving member 43 to abut against the tooling plate 51, the first positioning pin 441 may be embedded in the pin hole on the tooling plate 51, so that the blocking plate 44 can abut against the tooling plate 51 well, and the tooling plate 51 is not easy to shake. Among them, the number of the first positioning pins 441 can be set according to actual needs, for example, the number of the first positioning pins 441 is 1, and for another example, the number of the first positioning pins 441 is 2. In this regard, the embodiment of the present application is not limited here.

[0049] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the second driving member 43 may be a cylinder. Of course, the second driving member 43 may also be a motor. The type of the second driving member 43 is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0050] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, it should be noted that the feeding device provided in the embodiment of the present application may include a controller, and the first driving member 42, the second driving member 43 and the first detecting member 45 are all electrically connected to the controller, so that when the first detecting member 45 detects that there is a receiving member 52 at the silo 20, the first detecting member 45 sends an instruction to the controller, and after the controller receives the instruction, the controller controls the first driving member 42 and the second driving member 43, so that the first driving member 42 drives the blocking member 41 to move, and the second driving member 43 drives the blocking plate 44 to move. In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, when the feeding device is installed in the production line, the production line has a control module, and the first driving member 42, the second driving member 43 and the first detecting member 45 are all electrically connected to the control module.

[0051] In addition, in some embodiments, the blocking assembly 40 may further include a check member 46; the check member 46 is fixed to the mounting frame 10, and the check member 46 and the blocking member 41 are spaced apart along the direction of movement of the tooling plate 51, and the check member 46 is used to abut against the tooling plate 51 when the tooling plate 51 moves to the silo 20.

[0052] By setting the check piece 46, once the conveyor belt transfers the tooling plate 51 to the silo 20, the check piece 46 can abut against the tooling plate 51, so that the check piece 46 can block the tooling plate 51 and prevent the tooling plate 51 from moving in a direction opposite to the transmission direction of the conveyor belt. That is, by setting the check piece 46, it can help the tooling plate 51 remain still after being blocked by the blocking piece 41 at the silo 20.

[0053] In addition, in some embodiments, the loading device may further include a collecting assembly 60 , which is mounted on the mounting frame 10 , and the conveying assembly 30 is used to place unqualified connecting sheets 100 on the collecting assembly 60 .

[0054] By providing the collecting assembly 60, when the transporting assembly 30 moves the connecting piece 100 in the silo 20 to the receiving member 52, if the transporting assembly 30 fails to place the connecting piece 100 in the receiving member 52, it indicates that the connecting piece 100 currently transported by the transporting assembly 30 is unqualified, and the transporting assembly 30 can place the unqualified connecting piece 100 in the collecting assembly 60. That is, by providing the collecting assembly 60, unqualified connecting pieces 100 can be easily accommodated.

[0055] In addition, in some embodiments, the collection component 60 may include a support frame 61, a collection box 62 and a sensor 63; the support frame 61 is installed on the mounting frame 10, the collection box 62 is detachably connected to the support frame 61, the sensor 63 is installed on the collection box 62, the collection box 62 is used to accommodate unqualified connecting pieces 100 transported by the transport component 30, and the sensor 63 is used to sense whether there are unqualified connecting pieces 100 in the collection box 62.

[0056] With such an arrangement, when the transport component 30 moves the connecting pieces 100 in the silo 20 to the receiving part 52, the sensing part 63 can detect in real time whether there are unqualified connecting pieces 100 in the receiving part 52. Once the transport component 30 moves the unqualified connecting pieces 100 to the receiving part 52, the sensing part 63 can sense it. In addition, the collection box 62 is detachably connected to the support frame 61, so that when the collection box 62 is full of unqualified connecting pieces 100, the collection box 62 can be separated from the support frame 61, and the unqualified connecting pieces 100 in the collection box 62 can be cleaned up, so that the collection box 62 is empty again, and then the empty collection box 62 is connected to the support frame 61 again, so that unqualified connecting pieces 100 can be placed in the collection box 62 again.

[0057] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the sensing element 63 may be a sensor.

[0058] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the support frame 61 may include a first support plate 611 and a second support plate 612, the first support plate 611 is fixedly connected to the second support plate 612, the second support plate 612 is connected to the mounting frame 10, and a magnetic member and a positioning pin 3213 may be provided on the first support plate 611, so that the collection box 62 can be adsorbed by the magnetic member, thereby realizing a detachable connection between the collection box 62 and the support frame 61, and the positioning pin 3213 ensures that the connection position between the collection box 62 and the first support plate 611 is correct. Of course, the collection box 62 and the support frame 61 can also be detachably connected by a buckle. In this regard, the embodiment of the present application is not limited here.

[0059] In addition, in some embodiments, the collection assembly 60 may further include a second detection member 64 . The collection box 62 has an opening. The second detection member 64 is installed at the opening of the collection box 62 . The second detection member 64 is used to detect whether the collection box 62 is full of unqualified connecting sheets 100 .

[0060] By providing the second detection member 64, the second detection member 64 can detect the unqualified connecting pieces 100 in the collection box 62 in real time to determine whether the collection box 62 is full of unqualified connecting pieces 100. That is, by providing the second detection member 64, it is easy to determine whether the collection box 62 is full of unqualified connecting pieces 100.

[0061] In addition, a bracket 641 can be connected to the collection box 62, and the second detection member 64 can be installed on the bracket 641. The bracket 641 is located at the opening of the collection box 62, and a protective cover 642 can be provided on the bracket 641. The protective cover 642 covers the second detection member 64 to protect the second detection member 64.

[0062] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the second detection element 64 may be a photoelectric sensor, or other sensors capable of alkaline detection. The specific type of the second detection element 64 is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0063] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, when the feeding device in the embodiment of the present application is installed on the production line, the second detection component 64 can be electrically connected to the control module in the production line. At this time, once the second detection component 64 detects that the collection box 62 is full of unqualified connecting pieces 100, the second detection component 64 can send instructions to the control module, and the control module issues an alarm prompt. The operator can separate the collection box 62 from the mounting frame 10 according to the alarm prompt and clean up the unqualified connecting pieces 100 in the collection box 62.

[0064] In addition, in some embodiments, the transport assembly 30 may include a manipulator 31 and a transport member 32; the manipulator 31 is fixed to the mounting frame 10, and the transport member 32 is connected to the manipulator 31, and the manipulator 31 is used to drive the transport member 32 to move so that the transport member 32 transports the connecting piece 100.

[0065] Through such a setting, once the conveyor belt moves the tooling plate 51 to the silo 20, the manipulator 31 can drive the transporting member 32 to move, and move the transporting member 32 to the silo 20, so that the transporting member 32 can transport the connecting piece 100 in the silo 20, and then the manipulator 31 drives the transporting member 32 to move, so that the transporting member 32 moves the connecting piece 100 to the receiving member 52 on the tooling plate 51, completing the transfer of the connecting piece 100. In addition, if the transporting member 32 cannot place the connecting piece 100 in the receiving member 52, the manipulator 31 will drive the transporting member 32 to transport the unqualified connecting piece 100 to the collection box 62. That is, by setting the manipulator 31 and the transporting member 32, it is easy to transport the connecting piece 100.

[0066] It should be noted that the manipulator 31 can be a gantry manipulator 31, which includes a gantry 310, an X-axis motor 311, a first linear module 312, a Y-axis motor 313, a second linear module 314, a first slide rail 3141, a Z-axis motor 315, a third linear module 316, an R-axis motor 317 and a rotating platform 318, all of which are installed on the gantry 310, and the transport member 32 is connected to the rotating platform 318, so that through the cooperation of these components, the transport member 32 can move in multiple directions, so that the transport member 32 can move the connecting piece 100 to the receiving member 52 or the collection box 62.

[0067] In addition, in some embodiments, the transport member 32 may include a connecting frame 321, a connecting member 322 and a suction cup 323; one end of the connecting member 322 is connected to the connecting frame 321, the connecting frame 321 is connected to the manipulator 31, and the suction cup 323 is connected to the other end of the connecting member 322. The manipulator 31 is used to drive the connecting frame 321 to move so that the connecting member 322 and the suction cup 323 move with the connecting frame 321, and the suction cup 323 is used to adsorb the connecting sheet 100.

[0068] With such a configuration, when the conveyor belt transfers the tooling plate 51 to the silo 20, the manipulator 31 can drive the connecting frame 321 to move, so that the connecting frame 321 drives the connecting piece 322 and the suction cup 323 to move. Once the suction cup 323 moves to the silo 20, the suction cup 323 can absorb the connecting piece 100 in the silo 20. Then the manipulator 31 moves to drive the suction cup 323 to move, so that the suction cup 323 drives the connecting piece 100 to move, and moves the connecting piece 100 to the receiving piece 52 or the collecting box 62. In addition, by providing the suction cup 323, the suction cup 323 can absorb the connecting piece 100, thereby avoiding damage to the connecting piece 100 during the process of moving the connecting piece 100.

[0069] It should be noted that the connecting frame 321 may be provided with a joint 3211, a plug 3212, a positioning pin 3213 and a mounting plate 3214, and the connecting member 322 is connected to the mounting plate 3214 via the joint 3211, the plug 3212 and the positioning pin 3213, so that the connecting member 322 is connected to the connecting frame 321.

[0070] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the number of the connecting members 322 can be set according to actual needs. For example, the number of the connecting members 322 is 10, and each connecting member 322 is connected to a suction cup 323, so that when the connecting sheet 100 is moved, 10 connecting sheets 100 can be moved at the same time. For another example, the number of the connecting members 322 is 15, so that 15 connecting sheets 100 can be moved at the same time. The specific number of the connecting members 322 is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0071] In addition, in some embodiments, a third detection member 324 may be provided on the connection member 322 , and the third detection member 324 is used to detect whether the connection sheet 100 adsorbed by the suction cup 323 is placed in the receiving member 52 when the suction cup 323 moves the connection sheet 100 to the receiving member 52 .

[0072] By setting the third detection member 324, when the suction cup 323 moves the connecting piece 100 from the silo 20 to the receiving piece 52, the third detection member 324 can perform real-time detection. Once the suction cup 323 moves to the receiving piece 52, during the process of the suction cup 323 placing the connecting piece 100 in the receiving piece 52, the third detection member 324 can detect the connecting piece 100 to detect whether the connecting piece 100 is placed in the receiving piece 52. If the connecting piece 100 cannot be placed in the receiving piece 52, the manipulator 31 can drive the suction cup 323 to absorb the connecting piece 100 and move it to the collection box 62. That is, by setting the third detection member 324, it is easy to determine whether the connecting piece 100 can be placed in the receiving piece 52.

[0073] In addition, in an embodiment of the present application, when the loading device is applied to the production line, the third detection component 324 can be electrically connected to the control module in the production line, so that during the process of the suction cup 323 adsorbing the connecting piece 100, the third detection component 324 can also detect whether the connecting piece 100 falls off the suction cup 323. Once the connecting piece 100 falls off the suction cup 323, the third detection component 324 can issue an instruction to the control module, and the control module can issue an alarm prompt.

[0074] In addition, in some embodiments, the material bin 20 may include a material box 21, a first carrier 22, a second carrier 23, a first drive module 24 and a second drive module 25; the first carrier 22 and the second carrier 23 are both arranged in the material box 21, and the first carrier 22 and the second carrier 23 are stacked and distributed, the first carrier 22 and the second carrier 23 are both slidably connected to the material box 21, the first drive module 24 is connected to the first carrier 22, and the first drive module 24 is used to drive the first carrier 22 to slide relative to the material box 21, the second drive module 25 is connected to the second carrier 23, and the second drive module 25 is used to drive the second carrier 23 to move relative to the material box 21; wherein, the first carrier 22 and the second carrier 23 are both used to carry the connecting plate 100.

[0075] By such a configuration, when the transport component 30 moves to the material bin 20, the first drive module 24 can drive the first carrier 22 to slide relative to the material box 21, so that the connecting piece 100 on the first carrier 22 is equivalent to the moving transport component 30, so that the transport component 30 can transport the connecting piece 100, and after the connecting piece 100 on the first carrier 22 is emptied, the second drive module 25 can drive the second carrier to slide relative to the material box 21, so that the transport component 30 can transport the connecting piece 100 on the second carrier 23. That is, by providing the first carrier 22, the first drive module 24, the second carrier 23 and the second drive module 25, it is not only convenient for the transport component 30 to transport the connecting piece 100, but also more connecting pieces 100 can be accommodated in the material box 21.

[0076] It should be noted that a plurality of bearing positions may be provided on the first bearing member 22 and the second bearing member 23 , and each bearing position may bear a connecting piece 100 , so that the first bearing member 22 and the second bearing member 23 may bear a plurality of connecting pieces 100 .

[0077] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, a first guide rail 211 and a second guide rail 212 can be provided in the material box 21, and the first carrier 22 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 211, so that the first drive module 24 can drive the first carrier 22 to slide relative to the first guide rail 211; the second carrier 23 is slidably connected to the second guide rail 212, so that the second drive module 25 can drive the second carrier 23 to slide relative to the second guide rail 212.

[0078] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the first driving module 24 and the second driving module 25 can both be cylinders, and of course, can also be motors, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0079] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, a plurality of carriers may be provided in the material box 21, the plurality of carriers are stacked, and each carrier is connected to a driving module. The specific number of carriers in the material box 21 is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0080] Combine the following Figures 1 to 6 , the working principle of the feeding device provided in the embodiment of the present application is specifically described:

[0081] After the loading device is installed in the production line, the tooling plate 51 is connected to the conveyor belt, and a plurality of connecting pieces 100 are placed on the first and second bearing pieces in the silo 20. When the conveyor belt drives the tooling plate 51 to move to the silo 20, the first driving member 42 can drive the blocking member 41 to move, so that the blocking member 41 blocks the tooling plate 51, and the tooling plate 51 will stop moving, and the second driving member 43 drives the blocking plate 44 to move, so that the blocking plate 44 abuts against the tooling plate 51, so that the tooling plate 51 is separated from the conveyor belt. The manipulator 31 can drive the connecting member 322 to move the suction cup 323 to the silo 20, and the suction cup 323 can absorb the connecting piece 100 on the first bearing piece, and then the manipulator 31 drives the connecting piece 100 to move through the suction cup 323. In this process, the third detection member 324 can perform real-time detection. Once the connecting piece 100 is separated from the suction cup 323, the control module in the production line can issue an alarm prompt. When the suction cup 323 drives the connecting piece 100 to move to the receiving part 52, the suction cup 323 can place the connecting piece 100 in the receiving part 52. If the suction cup 323 cannot place the connecting piece 100 in the receiving part 52, it indicates that the connecting piece 100 is an unqualified connecting piece 100. The manipulator 31 can drive the suction cup 323 to move the suction cup 323 to the collecting box 62, and the suction cup 323 can place the connecting piece 100 in the collecting box 62. Once the collecting box 62 is full of connecting pieces 100, the control module in the production line can issue an alarm prompt, and the operator can remove the collecting box 62 from the mounting frame 10 and clean the connecting pieces 100 in the collecting box 62.

[0082] In the embodiment of the present application, since the first driving member 42 is connected to the blocking member 41 and the first driving member 42 is connected to the mounting bracket 10 , the first driving member 42 can drive the blocking member 41 to move. Since the receiving member 52 is fixed to the tooling plate 51, and the tooling plate 51 is used to be set on the conveyor belt, once the tooling plate 51 is set on the conveyor belt, the conveyor belt can drive the tooling plate 51 to move, so that the receiving member 52 moves with the movement of the tooling plate 51, and by setting the first detection member 45, the first detection member 45 can detect in real time whether there is a receiving member 52 at the silo 20. Once the first detection member 45 detects that there is a receiving member 52 at the silo 20, it indicates that the conveyor belt transfers the tooling plate 51 to the silo 20, so that the first detection member 45 detects the receiving member 52. At this time, the first driving member 42 can drive the blocking member 41 to move, so that the blocking member 41 blocks the tooling plate 51, and then the tooling plate 51 stops moving, thereby stopping the receiving member 52, and then the conveying component 30 can convey the connecting piece 100 in the silo 20 to the receiving member 52. That is, in the embodiment of the present application, by setting up the transport component 30, the silo 20, the blocking component 40 and the moving component 50, when the conveyor belt moves the tooling plate 51 of the moving component 50 to the silo 20, the blocking member 41 of the blocking component 40 can block the movement of the tooling plate 51, so that the tooling plate 51 stops moving, and then the connecting plate 100 in the silo 20 can be transported to the receiving member 52 on the tooling plate 51 by the transport component 30 to complete the loading of the connecting plate 100, thereby avoiding manual loading, improving the loading efficiency of the connecting plate 100, and reducing the labor intensity of the operator.
