[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, a control motor is fixedly installed on one side of the main portal, a sliding seat is slidably connected to the bottom of the main portal, and a telescopic rod is provided at the bottom of the sliding seat.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the dispersion box is arranged below the feeding mechanism.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] The battery shell automatic feeding device places a dispersion box on a conveyor belt, starts a stepper motor to drive the conveyor belt to rotate and move the dispersion box, until the dispersion box moves to a level with the storage box, then stops moving the conveyor belt to keep the dispersion box still, then starts a control motor to control the slide to drive the feeding mechanism to move above the storage box, at which time the telescopic rod extends to push the fixed frame to drive the fixed clamp block and the sliding clamp block to move downward, until the negative pressure grooves at the bottom of the fixed clamp block and the sliding clamp block are sleeved on the battery shell in the storage box, and negative pressure is formed in the negative pressure groove by controlling an external device to fix it, then the telescopic rod controls the fixed frame to move the fixed clamp block and the sliding clamp block upward to take the battery shell out of the storage box, at which time The control motor controls the slide to move in the opposite direction, driving the fixed clamp block, the sliding clamp block and the battery shell to move above the single-row hole position of the dispersion box. Finally, the transmission machine controls the control machine to rotate and screw the screw outward. The outward-moving screw pulls the sliding clamp block to expand under the limit of the slide rail. Since multiple sliding clamp blocks and fixed clamp blocks are connected to the slide groove through an extension rod, the sliding clamp block will drive the battery shells to be separated one by one at equal intervals until the positions of the separated fixed clamp blocks, sliding clamp blocks and battery shells overlap with the single-row hole position of the dispersion box. Finally, the telescopic rod is extended to push the fixed clamp block and the sliding clamp block downward to send the battery shell into the dispersion box and release the negative pressure in the negative pressure groove. The device is convenient for equidistant loading of battery shells. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0028] Working principle: when the automatic feeding device for battery shells is used, in the initial state, first, the conveyor belt 102 is rotated and connected to the inside of the conveyor frame 1, and the stepper motor 103 arranged on one side of the conveyor frame 1 is connected to the conveyor belt 102, so as to drive the conveyor belt 102 to rotate and drive the dispersion box 104 to move, and the bottom of the main door frame 2 arranged on the conveyor frame 1 is connected to a slide 202 controlled by the side control motor 201 to slide, and the telescopic rod 203 arranged at the bottom of the slide 202 is connected to the feeding mechanism 3, so as to take out the battery shells in the storage box 106 on one side of the conveyor frame 1, disperse them equidistantly, and then load them into the dispersion box 104 for feeding;

[0029] When the battery shells need to be loaded at equal intervals, first place the dispersion box 104 on the conveyor belt 102, start the stepper motor 103 to drive the conveyor belt 102 to rotate and move the dispersion box 104, until the dispersion box 104 moves to the same level as the storage box 106, then stop moving the conveyor belt 102 to keep the dispersion box 104 still, then start the control motor 201 to control the slide 202 to drive the loading mechanism 3 to move to the top of the storage box 106, at this time the telescopic rod 203 extends out to push the fixed frame 301 to drive the fixed clamp block 303 and the sliding clamp block 306 to move downward, until the negative pressure groove 305 opened at the bottom of the fixed clamp block 303 and the sliding clamp block 306 is sleeved on the battery shell in the storage box 106 and the negative pressure is formed in the negative pressure groove 305 by an external device to fix it, then the telescopic rod 203 controls the fixed frame 301 to move the fixed clamp block 303 and the sliding clamp block 306 upward to remove the battery shell from the storage box 106 After the battery case is taken out, the control motor 201 controls the slide 202 to move in the opposite direction, driving the fixed clamp block 303, the sliding clamp block 306 and the battery shell to move above the single-row hole position of the dispersion box 104.
