[0027] As Figure 1 shown, a cylindrical battery transmission mechanism includes a conveyor streamline 1, multiple groups of processing stations arranged along the conveyor streamline 1, and cylindrical batteries are processed at each processing station. It also includes a positioning unit 2 provided at each group of processing stations and a transfer unit 3 that moves along the conveyor streamline 1.

[0028]

[0029] Figure 3 As shown, the positioning unit 2 includes a bracket 21 and a fixed positioning plate 22 provided above the bracket 21. The bracket 21 and the fixed positioning plate 22 are respectively arranged on both sides of the conveying guide rail 11, and an avoidance channel is formed between the brackets 21. Multiple groups of fixed positioning grooves 23 are arranged at intervals along the extending direction of the conveyor streamline 1 on each group of fixed positioning plates 22 for positioning the materials to be processed. The fixed positioning groove 23 is an inverted triangle structure, and cylindrical batteries of different specifications can automatically stay at the bottom of the fixed positioning groove 23 along the edge of the fixed positioning groove 23. The fixed positioning plates 22 of this embodiment are respectively arranged on both sides of the conveyor streamline 1, and the positions of the fixed positioning grooves 23 of the two groups of fixed positioning plates 22 are correspondingly arranged, supporting the cylindrical batteries from both sides to prevent the batteries from falling off the fixed positioning plates 22. The setting of multiple groups of fixed positioning grooves 23 can ensure that multiple groups of cylindrical batteries are processed simultaneously at one processing station, greatly increasing the processing efficiency of the cylindrical batteries.

[0030] At each processing station, an optoelectronic sensor 24 is provided. The optoelectronic sensor 24 is arranged corresponding to the position of the fixed positioning groove 23 and can perform opposed detection on the positions of each battery.

[0031] As Figure 4 shown in Figure 5 the figure, the transfer unit 3 includes a lifting plate 31 controlled to move vertically by a lifting mechanism and a movable positioning plate 32 arranged above the lifting plate 31. At the top of the movable positioning plate 32, movable positioning grooves 33 for restricting the position of the material are also arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the conveying streamline 1. The movable positioning grooves 33 and the fixed positioning grooves 23 are arranged corresponding to each other. The upper movable positioning plates 32 of each group of transfer units 3 are also arranged in two groups to support the material from both ends to prevent the material from falling during the transfer process.

[0032] The transfer unit 3 will move to the processing station along with the conveying streamline 1. The output end of the lifting mechanism is connected to the bottom of the lifting plate 31 and is used to drive the lifting plate 31 and the movable connecting plate 14 to move up and down, so that the movable connecting plate 14 moves between above and below the height where the fixed connecting plate 14 is located. The material will be transferred from the movable connecting plate 14 to the fixed connecting plate 14 when the lifting plate 31 moves down, and vice versa when the lifting plate 31 moves up.

[0033] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism is a lifting cylinder 34 fixed to the bottom of the support plate 13, and the piston shaft of the lifting cylinder 34 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting plate 31.

[0034] Further, the lifting plate 31 is provided with a slide rail 35 along the direction perpendicular to the conveying streamline 1. The bottom of the movable connecting plate 14 is slidably connected to the slide rail 35. The distance between the two groups of movable connecting plates 14 can be adjusted through the slide rail 35, so as to support materials of different sizes.

[0035] Further, a plurality of mounting holes 36 are arranged on the side wall of the movable connecting plate 14, and a locking pin 37 is arranged at the position corresponding to the mounting holes 36 on the side wall of the lifting plate 31. After adjusting the position of the movable connecting plate 14 along the slide rail 35, the locking pin 37 is inserted to position the two groups of movable connecting plates 14.

[0036] As Figure 6As shown in the figure, the working process of this embodiment is as follows: The transfer unit 3 is fully loaded with cylindrical batteries to be processed and is driven by the transmission screw rod 12 to be conveyed along the conveying line 1 to the next processing station until the positions of the movable positioning plate 32 and the fixed positioning plate 22 correspond to each other; the lifting mechanism controls the fixed positioning plate 22 to move down to the lower side of the movable positioning plate 32, and the material is transferred to the fixed positioning plate 22, and the photoelectric sensors 24 respectively perform positioning detection on the material positions. The external device processes the material, and at the same time, the empty transfer unit 3 returns to the previous processing station along with the transmission screw rod 12. After the processing is completed, the lifting mechanism controls the transfer unit 3 to move above the fixed positioning plate 22, and the battery material is transferred to the movable positioning plate 32 and is transferred to the next processing station along with the transfer unit 3. After multiple cycles of the above process, the processing of the material at each station is completed.

[0037] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it can be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those of ordinary skill in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
