Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shell feeding machines, in particular to a double-station linear shell feeding machine. Background Art

[0002] During the assembly process of the battery, the plate group after the plate packing is completed needs to be inserted into the tooling device in a certain order and direction and then pressed into the battery shell. This process is called the shell insertion process. In the sub-process of pressing the plate group into the battery shell, it is usually achieved by manually pressing the plate group, which has low work efficiency. Utility Model Content

After all the battery cells are pushed into the shell, the core-to-shell pushing assembly pushes the batteries to the unloading position, and the automatic shelling is completed. Moreover, because two fixing mechanisms are provided, the shelling of two products can be completed at the same time, thereby improving work efficiency.

On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the utility model more thorough and comprehensive.

[0031] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be a central element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be a central element at the same time. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only.

[0032] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art in the technical field of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0033] See also Figures 1 to 11 The utility model provides a double-station linear shell-entering machine, comprising an upper shell assembly line 10, an upper shell manipulator 20 arranged at the end of the upper shell assembly line 10, an upper battery cell assembly line 30 arranged at one side of the upper shell assembly line 10, a core-pushing shell-entering component 40 arranged at one side of the upper battery cell assembly line 30, an upper introduction membrane structure 50 arranged at one side of the core-pushing shell-entering component 40, an upper battery cell manipulator 60 arranged on the upper side of the core-pushing shell-entering component 40, and a shell-entering working component 70 arranged at the pushing end of the core-pushing shell-entering component 40, the shell-entering working component 70 comprises a shell-entering working platform 71, a shell-pushing cylinder 72 arranged at the lower end of the shell-entering working platform 71, and at least two fixing mechanisms 73 arranged on the shell-entering working platform 72, and a lower introduction membrane structure 100 is also provided on one side of the shell-entering working platform 71.

[0034] The above-mentioned double-station linear shell-entering machine places the battery cell and the shell on the upper battery cell assembly line 30 and the upper shell assembly line 10, and the upper battery cell manipulator 60 and the upper shell manipulator 20 take out the battery cell and the shell from the upper battery cell assembly line 30 and the upper shell assembly line 10 at the same time, place the battery cell on the battery cell platform 101, and place the shell on the shell-entering working platform 71. Then the battery cell is clamped by the core-to-shell pushing assembly 40, and the shell is pushed to the shell-entering position by the shell-pushing cylinder 72. When the shell is pushed to the shell-entering position, the upper introduction membrane structure 50 and the lower introduction membrane structure 100 introduce the membrane into the shell opening, and then the core-to-shell pushing assembly 70 clamps the battery cell, and the battery cell platform 101 descends, so that the battery cell is pushed flatly to the shell along the introduction membrane. After all the battery cells are pushed into the shell, the core-to-shell pushing assembly 40 pushes the battery to the unloading position, and the automatic shelling is completed. Moreover, because two fixing mechanisms 73 are provided, the shelling of two products can be completed at the same time, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0035] Specifically, the upper introduction membrane structure 50 can be a lifting motor and a membrane guide plate arranged at the lower end of the lifting motor. When working, the end of the membrane is pulled out from the membrane roll and extends to the shell mouth through the membrane guide plate, so that the core-into-shell push assembly 70 clamps the battery cell and pushes it flatly to the shell along the introduction membrane.

When working, the shell is placed on the assembly line, and the shell is driven upward by the first conveyor belt 13. The first in-position sensor 14 located on the upper side of the first conveyor belt 13 stops rotating when the shell reaches the loading position, thereby realizing automatic upper shell.

During operation, the battery cell is placed on the second conveyor belt 33, and the battery cell is driven upward by the second conveyor belt 33. The second in-position sensor 34 located on the upper side of the second conveyor belt 33 stops rotating when the battery cell reaches the loading position, thereby realizing automatic battery cell loading.

Specifically, the clamping mechanism 42 can be a clamping cylinder. When the battery is placed on the battery loading platform 41, the core-into-shell push assembly 40 clamps the battery, the lifting motor 43 descends, and then pushes the battery horizontally, and the battery is pushed into the shell along the film. After the battery is put into the shell, the push-up cylinder 44 of the core-into-shell push assembly 40 pushes the battery that has been put into the shell to the unloading position.

[0039] See also Fig. 9 In one embodiment of the utility model, at least one set of first suction cups 61 is provided at the end of the upper cell manipulator 60. Specifically, the upper cell manipulator 60 has two sets of suction cups for taking the cells from the cell loading line 30 to the cell loading platform 41.

[0040] See also Fig.11 In one embodiment of the present invention, a discharge assembly line 80 is further included on one side of the upper shell manipulator. In the next cycle, the upper shell manipulator 20 moves the shelled battery from the discharge position to the discharge assembly line 80 while the upper shell manipulator 20 is loading the shell.

[0041] See also Figure 8In one embodiment of the utility model, the upper shell manipulator 20 is provided with a plurality of second suction cups 21 at the end thereof. In this embodiment, the upper shell manipulator 20 has four suction cups, two of which are for loading and two for unloading. When the upper shell manipulator 20 is in motion, the shells of the upper shell assembly line 10 are taken to the shell-to-be-entered group, and the batteries that have been shelled at the unloading position are taken to the unloading assembly line 80.

[0042] In one embodiment of the present invention, a control interface module 90 is also included. Accordingly, a corresponding PLC controller or electrical control box needs to be provided to control the operating parameters of each component.
