[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the multi-function material shifting device includes a driving mechanism and a material shifting mechanism, wherein:

[0022] The driving mechanism includes a first driving device 10 and a transmission shaft 20 connected thereto, one end of the transmission shaft 20 is provided with a mounting plate 30, and the first driving device 10 can drive the transmission shaft 20 to drive the mounting plate 30 to rotate synchronously;

[0023] The material moving mechanism includes more than three second drive devices 40 installed on the mounting plate 30 at equal angles. Each second drive device 40 is connected to a transmission plate 50 and can drive it to reciprocate in a straight line. Each transmission plate 50 is provided with a third drive device 60. Each third drive device 60 is connected to a clamping member 70 and can drive it to open or tighten to loosen or clamp a workpiece. The clamping end of each clamping member 70 extends to the outside of the mounting plate 30.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, each transmission plate 50 is an L-shaped structure, one end of which is transmission-connected to the second driving device 40, and the other end extends to the second driving device 40 and is slidably connected thereto; each second driving device 40 is provided with a slideway 41, and each slideway 41 is slidably connected to the other end of a transmission plate 50. In this embodiment, the second driving device is a linear cylinder, and a slideway 41 is formed on its outer wall, serving as the slideway 41, and one end of the transmission plate 50 is embedded therein and can slide relative thereto.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, each clamping member 70 includes two parallel clamping plates 71, whose opposite ends are respectively adapted to the contour of the product and are provided with anti-slip lines 72. In this embodiment, the third driving device 60 is a finger cylinder.

[0026] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 30 is an equilateral triangle, the center of which is connected to the transmission shaft 20, and each of its corners is a station and is equipped with a set of material clamping structural parts, namely, the second drive device 40+transmission plate 50+third drive device 60+material clamping parts 70. When the transmission shaft 20 rotates, the material clamping parts 70 of a workpiece can be clamped at each station and sent to the next station, and the second drive device 40 and the third drive device 60 on the three stations are driven to realize the flow of products between the three stations; the material transfer device occupies a small area, and the layout of each structural part is compact, which can make full use of the space. The spacing and deflection angle between two adjacent stations are small, which can significantly shorten the material transfer time, improve the material transfer efficiency, and meet the continuous and smooth operation of the remaining processes after the battery winding process, improve the battery production efficiency, and reduce the use and sharing cost of production equipment. In application, the size, shape and number of groups of material clamping structural parts on the mounting plate 30 can be reasonably selected according to the actual layout of the production line.

[0027] like Figure 1As shown, it also includes a sensor 80, which is mounted on the transmission shaft 20 and / or the mounting plate 30. The sensor 80 can receive the displacement and / or rotation angle information of the transmission shaft 20 and / or the mounting plate 30, and is electrically connected to the first drive device 10. In this embodiment, the first drive device 10 is a stepping motor. In some embodiments of the utility model, the transmission shaft 20 is a stepped shaft, the larger end of which is detachably fixedly connected to the mounting plate 30, and the smaller end is sequentially sleeved with a positioning seat 90, a transmission wheel 100 and a limiting ring 110, the positioning seat 90 is detachably fixedly mounted on a base 120, the transmission wheel 100 is transmission-connected to the first drive device 10 through a synchronous belt 130, and one end of the limiting ring 110 extends to the axial outer side of the transmission shaft 20 and is mounted on the base 120.

[0028] It is understandable that the positioning seat 90 and the limiting ring 110 can support and limit the axial displacement and radial runout of the transmission wheel 100 to ensure its smooth rotation, thereby ensuring that the transmission shaft 20 maintains a stable rotation and drives the mounting plate 30 and each group of mechanical components thereon to operate smoothly. During operation, the first driving device 10 drives the synchronous belt 130 to drive the transmission shaft 20 to rotate on the positioning seat 90, and the sensor 80 receives the angle value or displacement value thereof. When the value reaches the set value, a signal is sent to instruct the first driving device 10 to stop driving, and the materials on each station are driven by a clamping member 70 to move to the next station.

[0029] The above does not limit the technical scope of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
