Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aluminum bar sorting, in particular to an aluminum bar sorting device. Background Art

[0002] The cleanliness of the aluminum bar surface is crucial to the quality of the product and the subsequent processing flow. Therefore, in the final stage of aluminum bar processing and production, the surface of the aluminum bar is usually cleaned. After the surface of the aluminum bar is clean, multiple aluminum bars are stacked together for shipment. However, even after careful cleaning, sometimes a trace amount of cleaning liquid may still remain on the surface of the aluminum bar. When multiple aluminum bars are stacked together, the residual cleaning liquid will become an adhesive, causing double or multiple layers of aluminum bars to be bonded together.

[0003] This adhesion problem has a serious impact on the subsequent welding process between the aluminum busbar and the battery cell. During welding, if the aluminum busbar is not completely separated, the welding quality will be reduced, and even serious problems such as poor welding and short circuit will occur. Therefore, it is necessary to design a device that can separate the multi-layer aluminum busbar. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to provide an aluminum bar sorting device, which realizes the separation of laminated aluminum bars and ensures the welding quality of aluminum bars and battery cells through the coordinated action of a bracket, a placement slot extending obliquely on the bracket, a sorting assembly and a clamping assembly.

[0005] An aluminum bar sorting device comprises a bracket, a pressing block and at least one clamping assembly, wherein the bracket is provided with an inclined extending placement slot, a sorting assembly is provided at the lower end of the placement slot, a sorting port is provided between the sorting assembly and the placement slot, the placement slot is used to place laminated aluminum bars to be sorted, the sorting assembly comprises a sorting drive and a grabbing member, the sorting drive drives the grabbing member away from or close to the placement slot, the clamping assembly is arranged at one end of the placement slot close to the sorting port, and the pressing block is slidably arranged in the placement slot.

[0006] In the above technical solution, the placement slot is designed to extend obliquely, so that the aluminum row can automatically slide down under the action of gravity, reducing the need for manual pushing or carrying, thereby improving the sorting efficiency. The placement slot provides a fixed placement position for the laminated aluminum row to be sorted, ensuring that the aluminum row can stay stably in the designated position before sorting and will not be accidentally moved or slipped. During the sorting process, the sorting drive drives the gripper to move to the placement slot and opens the clamping assembly at the same time so that the operator can place the laminated aluminum to be sorted in the placement slot. At this time, the gripper moved to the placement slot contacts the aluminum row near one end of the sorting port. The gripper provides a supporting force to prevent the laminated aluminum to be sorted from sliding out of the placement slot under the action of gravity. The pressing block is pressed against the aluminum row far from the sorting port under the action of gravity. After confirming that the laminated aluminum to be sorted is stably placed in the placement slot, the clamping assembly is actuated to clamp the aluminum row except the one in contact with the gripper. Then the sorting drive drives the gripper to move to remove the aluminum row in contact with the gripper. When the removed aluminum row reaches the specified position, the gripper releases the aluminum row, and the aluminum row falls from the sorting port to complete the sorting. The utility model realizes the separation of the laminated aluminum row by setting a bracket, a sorting assembly and a clamping assembly, and setting an inclined and extended placement slot on the bracket, thereby ensuring the welding quality of the aluminum row and the battery cell.

[0007] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a clamping drive and two clamping blocks, the two clamping blocks are arranged opposite to each other, and the clamping drive drives the two clamping blocks to approach each other to clamp the aluminum bar.

[0008] In the above technical solution, after the grabber of the sorting assembly fixes the aluminum bar, the clamping drive starts to act, driving the two clamping blocks to approach each other and clamp the aluminum bar. At this time, the aluminum bar is firmly fixed in the placement slot, and it is difficult to move or slip even if it is subjected to external force. Subsequently, the grabber can safely move the aluminum bar close to the sorting port for subsequent sorting operations.

[0009] Furthermore, a notch is provided at one end of the placement slot close to the sorting port, and one of the clamping blocks extends into the notch.

[0010] In the above technical solution, when the clamping block extends into the notch, it can be accurately positioned on the aluminum bar and firmly fix the aluminum bar in the placement slot through its clamping mechanism. In this way, after the grabber is removed, the aluminum bar can maintain its position unchanged, thereby ensuring the accuracy and stability of sorting.

[0011] Furthermore, the gripping member is a suction cup.

[0012] In the above technical solution, the sorting drive member is activated to drive the suction cup close to the placement slot, and the suction cup generates an adsorption force to adsorb the aluminum row near one end of the sorting port. At this time, the laminated aluminum row is resisted by the suction cup and cannot continue to slide down. When the laminated aluminum row is clamped by the clamping block, the sorting drive member is activated to drive the suction cup away from the placement slot, and the aluminum row adsorbed on the suction cup is separated from the laminated aluminum row. When the separated aluminum row reaches the specified position, the adsorption force of the suction cup disappears, and the aluminum row falls from the sorting port, completing the sorting.

[0013] Furthermore, the grabbing member is a clamping block.

[0014] In the above technical solution, the sorting drive drives the clamping block to move to the placement slot. At this time, the aluminum row near one end of the sorting port contacts the clamping block moved to the placement slot, and the clamping block provides support and clamping force, thereby preventing the laminated aluminum row to be sorted from sliding out of the placement slot under the action of gravity. When the clamping block clamps the laminated aluminum row, the sorting drive drives the clamping block away from the placement slot, and at the same time separates the aluminum row clamped by the clamping block from the laminated aluminum row. When the separated aluminum row reaches the specified position, the clamping block releases the aluminum row, and the aluminum row falls from the sorting port after losing the clamping force of the clamping block, completing the sorting.

[0015] Furthermore, the placement slot includes two baffles arranged opposite to each other.

[0016] In the above technical solution, two baffles arranged opposite to each other provide a limit, so that the laminated aluminum bars can be placed stably, and at the same time, the laminated aluminum bars are regulated, so that the laminated aluminum bars can be arranged neatly, further improving the sorting efficiency.

[0017] Furthermore, the baffle is provided with a slide groove extending along the inclined direction of the placement groove, and the pressing block is provided with a guide rod, and the guide rod is passed through the slide groove.

[0018] In the above technical solution, when the pressing block is affected by gravity, it will drive the guide rod to move along the slide. Due to the guiding effect of the slide, the pressing block can move smoothly and accurately along the inclined direction of the inclined surface. In this process, the aluminum row is continuously subjected to the pressure of the pressing block, and the aluminum row slides under the pressure of gravity and the pressing block, thereby improving the sorting efficiency.

[0019] Furthermore, it also includes at least one buffer, which is arranged on a side of the sorting component close to the sorting port.

[0020] In the above technical solution, when the aluminum bar enters the area of ​​the sorting port, it will first contact the buffer, which will absorb the impact force brought by the aluminum bar and slow down its speed to prevent the aluminum bar from being damaged.

[0021] Furthermore, the bracket is provided with a material receiving port and an inclined material receiving channel, and the material receiving port is connected with the sorting port through the material receiving channel.

[0022] In the above technical solution, after the aluminum row is sorted at the sorting port, it enters the receiving channel. Since the receiving channel is set at an angle, the aluminum row will automatically slide to the receiving port under the action of gravity. This design not only simplifies the collection process, but also reduces the need for manual intervention and improves the sorting efficiency. At the same time, the design of the receiving port and the receiving channel also ensures the stability and accuracy of the aluminum row during the transfer process, avoiding loss or damage caused by obstruction or collision.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0024] 1. Set up a bracket, including an inclined and extended placement slot, so that the aluminum row can slide down naturally with the help of gravity, reducing the trouble of manual placement and improving the degree of automation.

[0025] 2. Set up a sorting component, including a sorting drive and a grabbing component. The sorting drive can control the movement of the grabbing component to move it away from or close to the placement slot, thereby achieving the grabbing and fixing of the aluminum bar. During the sorting process, the sorting drive drives the grabbing component to approach the placement slot. The grabbing component fixes the entire laminated aluminum bar by grabbing the aluminum bar close to the sorting port. After the clamping component fixes the laminated aluminum bar, the sorting drive moves the aluminum bar in contact with the grabbing component to the sorting port. The sorting component effectively separates the laminated aluminum bar to be sorted into individual aluminum bars, ensuring the welding quality of the aluminum bar and the battery cell.

[0026] 3. Set up a clamping assembly. After the grabbing piece is removed, the clamping assembly clamps the aluminum bar to prevent the aluminum bar from sliding out of the placement slot under the action of gravity and the pressure block. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0038] The aluminum bar sorting device of the utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments and drawings. The drawings show a preferred embodiment of the utility model. However, the utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0039] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 In a preferred embodiment, the aluminum bar sorting device of the utility model includes a bracket 1, a pressing block 2 and at least one clamping assembly 3. The bracket 1 is provided with an inclined placement groove 102, and a sorting assembly 4 is provided at the lower end of the placement groove 102. A sorting port 101 is provided between the sorting assembly 4 and the placement groove 102. The placement groove 102 is used to place the laminated aluminum bars 5 to be sorted. The sorting assembly 4 includes a sorting driving member 401 and a grabbing member 402. The sorting driving member 401 drives the grabbing member 402 away from or close to the placement groove 102. The clamping assembly 3 is arranged at one end of the placement groove 102 close to the sorting port 101, and the pressing block 2 is slidably arranged in the placement groove 102.

[0040] It can be seen from the above technical solution that the placement slot is designed to extend obliquely so that the aluminum row can automatically slide downward under the action of gravity, reducing the need for manual pushing or carrying, thereby improving the sorting efficiency. The placement slot 102 provides a fixed placement position for the laminated aluminum row to be sorted, ensuring that the aluminum row can stay stably in the designated position before sorting and will not be accidentally moved or slipped. During the sorting process, the sorting drive 401 drives the grabbing member 402 to move to the placement slot 102, and then the clamping assembly 3 opens to allow the operator to place the laminated aluminum row to be sorted in the placement slot 102. At this time, the grabbing member 402 moved to the placement slot 102 contacts the aluminum row near one end of the sorting port 101. The grabbing member 402 provides a supporting force to prevent the laminated aluminum row to be sorted from sliding out of the placement slot 102 under the action of gravity. The pressing block 2 is in contact with the aluminum row under the action of gravity. The aluminum row at one end away from the sorting port 101 is pressed tightly. After confirming that the laminated aluminum row to be sorted is stably placed in the placement slot 102, the clamping assembly 3 is actuated to clamp the aluminum row except for the aluminum row in contact with the grabbing member 402. Then the sorting driving member 401 drives the grabbing member 402 to move, remove the aluminum row in contact with the grabbing member 402, and separate it from the laminated aluminum row. When the separated aluminum row reaches the specified position, the grabbing member 402 releases the aluminum row, and the aluminum row falls from the sorting port 101, completing the sorting. The utility model realizes the separation of laminated aluminum and ensures the welding quality of the aluminum row and the battery cell by setting a bracket 1, a sorting assembly 4 and a clamping assembly 3, and setting an inclined extending placement slot on the bracket.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The clamping assembly 3 includes a clamping drive 301 and two clamping blocks 302. The two clamping blocks 302 are arranged opposite to each other. The clamping drive 301 drives the two clamping blocks 302 to move closer to each other to clamp the aluminum row. The clamping drive 301 can adopt a clamping cylinder, which drives the two clamping blocks 302 to move relative to each other. By controlling the output force and speed of the clamping drive 301, it can be ensured that the clamping blocks 302 will not be too tight to cause deformation of the aluminum row, nor will they be too loose to cause the aluminum row to slip when clamping the aluminum row. The clamping blocks 302 clamp the aluminum row by approaching each other. The cooperation of the two clamping blocks 302 can effectively limit the movement of the aluminum row and improve the stability and accuracy of sorting. After the grabbing member 402 of the sorting assembly 4 fixes the aluminum row, the clamping drive 301 starts to move, driving the two clamping blocks 302 to approach each other and clamp the aluminum row. At this time, the aluminum bar is firmly fixed in the placement slot 102, and it is difficult to move or slide even if it is subjected to external force. Subsequently, the grabber 402 can safely move the aluminum bar close to the sorting port 101 for subsequent sorting operations.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3, a notch 1021 is provided at one end of the placement slot 102 near the sorting port 101, and one of the clamping blocks 302 extends into the notch 1021. When the clamping block 302 extends into the notch 1021, it can be accurately positioned on the aluminum bar, and the aluminum bar is firmly fixed in the placement slot 102 through its clamping mechanism. In this way, after the grabbing member 402 is removed, the aluminum bar can maintain its position unchanged, thereby ensuring the accuracy and stability of sorting.

[0043] In this embodiment, the gripping member 402 is a suction cup. During the sorting process, the sorting drive member 401 is actuated to drive the suction cup close to the placement slot 102. The suction cup generates an adsorption force to adsorb the aluminum row near one end of the sorting port 101. At this time, the laminated aluminum row is resisted by the suction cup and cannot continue to slide down. When the laminated aluminum row is clamped by the clamping block 302, the sorting drive member 401 is actuated to drive the suction cup away from the placement slot 102. The aluminum row adsorbed on the suction cup is separated from the laminated aluminum row. When the separated aluminum row reaches the specified position, the adsorption force of the suction cup disappears, and the aluminum row falls from the sorting port, completing the sorting.

[0044] In another embodiment, the grabbing member 402 is a clamping block. During the sorting process, the sorting driving member 401 drives the clamping block to move to the placement slot 102. At this time, the aluminum row near one end of the sorting port 101 contacts the clamping block moved to the placement slot 102. The clamping block provides support and clamping force to prevent the laminated aluminum row to be sorted from sliding out of the placement slot 101 under the action of gravity. When the clamping block clamps the laminated aluminum row, the sorting driving member 401 drives the clamping block away from the placement slot 102, and at the same time removes the aluminum row clamped by the clamping block to separate it from the laminated aluminum row. When the separated aluminum row reaches the specified position, the clamping block releases the aluminum row, and the aluminum row falls from the sorting port 101 after losing the clamping force of the clamping block, completing the sorting.

[0045] It should be noted that the placement slot 102 includes two baffles 103 arranged opposite to each other. The two baffles 103 arranged opposite to each other provide a limit, so that the laminated aluminum row can be placed stably. At the same time, the laminated aluminum row is also regularized, so that the laminated aluminum row can be arranged neatly, further improving the sorting efficiency.

[0046] At the same time, the baffle 103 is provided with a slide groove 1031 extending along the inclined direction of the placement groove 102, and the pressing block 2 is provided with a guide rod 201, and the guide rod 201 is inserted into the slide groove 1031. When the pressing block 2 is subjected to the action of gravity, it will drive the guide rod 201 to move along the slide groove 1031. The slide groove 1031 extends along the inclined direction of the placement groove 102, providing a smooth and stable moving path for the guide rod 201. The pressing block 2 is a key component for performing the action of pressing the aluminum row, and the guide rod 201 is an important component connecting the pressing block 2 and the slide groove 1031. One end of the guide rod 201 is firmly connected to the pressing block 2, and the other end is inserted into the slide groove 1031 on the baffle 103, so that the pressing block 2 can be guided and constrained by the slide groove 1031 when moving, thereby maintaining a stable moving trajectory. Due to the guiding effect of the slide groove 1031, the pressing block 2 can move smoothly and accurately along the inclined direction of the inclined surface 101. In this process, the aluminum row is continuously subjected to the pressure of the pressing block 2, and the aluminum row slides under the pressure of gravity and the pressing block 2, thereby improving the sorting efficiency. That is, when the clamping driving member 301 drives the clamping block 302 away from the aluminum row, the aluminum row slides under the pressure of gravity and the pressing block 2, so that the aluminum row away from the pressing block 2 can contact the grabbing member 402 moved to the placement slot 102, thereby reducing manual operations and improving the sorting efficiency.

[0047] Furthermore, the present embodiment further includes at least one buffer 6, which is disposed on one side of the sorting assembly 4 close to the sorting port 101. The buffer 6 can reduce the impact force and vibration of the aluminum bar, protect the aluminum bar from damage, and prevent position deviation caused by impact. Specifically, when the aluminum bar enters the area of ​​the sorting port 101, it will first contact the buffer 602 of the positioning assembly 6. The buffer 602 will absorb the impact force brought by the aluminum bar and slow down its speed, so that the aluminum bar can stop smoothly at a predetermined position.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the bracket 1 is provided with a receiving port 104 and a receiving channel 105 which is arranged obliquely, and the receiving port 104 is connected with the sorting port 101 through the receiving channel 105. After the aluminum row is sorted at the sorting port 101, it enters the receiving channel 105. Since the receiving channel 105 is arranged obliquely, the aluminum row will automatically slide to the receiving port 104 under the action of gravity. This design not only simplifies the collection process, but also reduces the need for manual intervention and improves the sorting efficiency. At the same time, the design of the receiving port 104 and the receiving channel 105 also ensures the stability and accuracy of the aluminum row during the transfer process, avoiding loss or damage caused by obstruction or collision.
