Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of battery manufacturing and assembly equipment, in particular to a multi-station automatic rotating disk mechanism applied to automatic equipment for battery core appearance detection. Background Art

[0002] At present, electronic technology is developing rapidly, and its cost performance is getting higher and higher, which leads to widespread attention on battery performance. In recent years, with the widespread popularization and development of communication technology, higher requirements have been put forward on battery capacity, safety, battery tab spacing and battery packaging.

[0003] Tabs are a raw material for producing lithium-ion polymer battery products. For example, mobile phone batteries, Bluetooth batteries, laptop batteries, etc. all need tabs. Batteries are divided into positive and negative poles, and tabs are metal conductors that lead the positive and negative poles out of the battery core. During the battery production process, the size and spacing of the positive and negative tabs of the battery are tested as a very important process before battery packaging.

[0004] During the battery performance test, the battery needs to be removed to each station and sent to the next station after the battery is tested. At present, the process of removing the battery is generally completed manually, which not only increases labor costs and management costs, but also affects the accuracy of battery performance testing due to the instability of manual operation. In addition, with the expansion of production scale and the increase in production line speed, manual removal of batteries has great speed limitations and cannot meet the speed requirements of modern large industrial production lines.

[0005] Chinese patent CN116639443A discloses a four-station rotating device, characterized in that it is used for rotating and conveying circuit boards, and the four-station rotating device includes: a turntable, which is rotatably arranged; four clamping plate platforms, which are uniformly connected to the turntable in sequence, and the clamping plate platforms include a loading area, an alignment area, a test area and a unloading area on their rotation trajectory; a rotating driver, which is connected to the turntable, and is used to drive the turntable and each of the clamping plate platforms to rotate, so that each of the clamping plate platforms cyclically passes through the loading area, the alignment area, the test area and the unloading area in sequence; wherein the clamping plate platform includes a base frame, a connecting rod and two groups of clamps; the base frame includes a main body plate and two extension rods, the main body plate is connected to the turntable, the two extension rods protrude vertically from the two ends of the main body plate respectively, and extend in the same direction, the connecting rod is vertically connected to the two extension rods, and the connecting rod is connected to the base frame The two groups of clamps are connected to the main plate and the connecting rod respectively, and the clamping openings of the two groups of clamps are opposite to each other, which solves the problem of the four-station rotation device and the four-station testing equipment of the present invention. One of the clamping plates is first located in the loading area for loading, and the two sides of the circuit board are clamped and fixed by two groups of opposite clamps. Then the rotary driver rotates 90° so that the clamping plate platform is located in the alignment area. After the alignment operation is completed, the rotary driver rotates another 90° so that the clamping plate platform is located in the testing area. Because the connecting rod and the base frame form a hollow structure, the upper head and the lower head of the testing device can be pressed and tested from the bottom and top surfaces of the circuit board respectively to meet specific testing requirements. The rotary driver rotates another 90° so that the clamping plate platform is located in the unloading area to complete the unloading operation. The rotary driver rotates cyclically, and the loading, alignment, testing and unloading processes are carried out simultaneously, which effectively improves the production efficiency.
