[0029] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Please refer to the attached Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an automatic sorting device for cylindrical battery production in an embodiment of the present utility model includes a lower box body 1. A feeding box 2 is fixedly connected to the upper end surface of the lower box body 1. A double-chamber inclined seat 3 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the feeding box 2. Material distribution wheels 4 are rotatably connected to both sides inside the double-chamber inclined seat 3. Two detection components 5 are fixedly connected to the middle part of the double-chamber inclined seat 3. The upper part of the provided feeding box 2 is in an open state. The cylindrical batteries are first temporarily stored inside the feeding box 2 waiting for sorting. The two sides of the provided double-chamber inclined seat 3 are in a slope shape, which can gather the cylindrical batteries. As the material distribution wheels 4 rotate, the cylindrical batteries at the bottom will be respectively taken away by the material distribution wheels 4.

[0031] On the upper side inside the lower box body 1, a discharge conveyor belt 7 is fixedly connected. The discharge conveyor belt 7 includes a housing 71. Inside the housing 71, a conveyor belt main body 72 is fixedly connected. On both sides of the upper end face of the housing 71, blanking pipes 13 are fixedly connected. The upper ends of the two blanking pipes 13 respectively penetrate through the double-chamber inclined seat 3 and communicate with the lower end of the material distribution wheel 4. Qualified cylindrical batteries fall above the conveyor belt main body 72 through the blanking pipes 13 and are conveyed out through the conveyor belt main body 72. Among them, the gap between the arranged housing 71 and the conveyor belt main body 72 only allows one cylindrical battery to pass through, and it is not easy to have the situation of cylindrical battery accumulation.

[0032] On both sides at the middle part inside the double-chamber inclined seat 3, inclined slots 12 leading to the material distribution wheel 4 are opened. The lower end of the inclined slot 12 is fixedly connected with a defective product discharge port 10. One end of the defective product discharge port 10 extends out of the rear end face of the feeding box 2.

[0033] The detection assembly 5 includes a double-acting cylinder 51. At both ends of the double-acting cylinder 51, mounting frames 52 are fixedly connected. At one end of each of the two mounting frames 52, a detection probe 53 is fixedly connected. Openings are provided at the positions on the outer end of the feeding box 2 facing the detection probes 53. When the detection assembly 5 is in use, driven by the double-acting cylinder 51, the two detection probes 53 act, and by contacting the positive and negative electrodes of the cylindrical battery with the two detection probes 53, the internal resistance of the cylindrical battery is measured.

[0034] An aggregate box 6 is arranged on the lower side inside the lower box body 1. The aggregate box 6 includes a box body 63. The box body 63 is slidably connected with the feeding box 2. A baffle 61 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the feeding box 2. A handle 62 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the baffle 61. When in use, if there is a situation of material blockage or production line stop in the next-level processing area during production, the conveyor belt main body 72 can be reversed so that the sorted cylindrical batteries fall into the aggregate box 6, thus playing a buffering role.

[0035] A buffer baffle 14 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the lower box body 1 near the end of the discharge conveyor belt 7. A torsion spring 15 is fixedly connected between the buffer baffle 14 and the inner wall of the lower box body 1. The arranged buffer baffle 14 can play a buffering role when the cylindrical battery falls.

[0036] The material distribution wheel 4 includes a wheel body 41. A plurality of material distribution grooves 42 are evenly spaced on the outer end of the wheel body 41. Two motors 8 are fixedly connected to the rear end face of the feeding box 2. The output ends of the two motors 8 are respectively fixedly connected with the two wheel bodies 41. The rotation directions of the two motors 8 are opposite, and the material distribution wheel 4 is driven by the motors 8 to rotate towards the inside.

[0037] On both sides of the rear end face of the feeding box 2, there are fixedly connected switch cylinders 9. The extending ends of the two switch cylinders 9 are fixedly connected with stoppers 11. One ends of the two stoppers 11 respectively extend into the two inclined slots 12. During use, if the detection component 5 detects a defective battery, the corresponding switch cylinder 9 retracts, pulling out the stopper 11, so that the defective battery can be discharged through the inclined slot 12. After discharging, the switch cylinder 9 resets. If the detection is qualified, the switch cylinder 9 does not act.

[0038] The front panel of the feeding box 2 is made of transparent acrylic board. The front panel of the feeding box 2 made of transparent acrylic board has good transparency, enabling the staff to directly understand the remaining amount of cylindrical batteries in the feeding box 2 and the working condition of the material distribution wheel 4, and be able to quickly respond and handle in case of abnormalities.

[0039] Working principle: During use, the cylindrical batteries are first temporarily stored inside the feeding box 2 waiting for sorting. The two sides of the set double-chamber inclined seat 3 are in a slope shape, which can gather the cylindrical batteries. As the material distribution wheel 4 rotates, the cylindrical batteries at the bottom will respectively enter the material distribution slots 42 of the material distribution wheel 4 and then be taken away by the material distribution wheel 4. The material distribution wheel 4 rotates a certain angle at a time. When the cylindrical battery passes through the detection area, driven by the double-acting cylinder 51, the two detection probes 53 act. The two detection probes 53 contact the positive and negative electrodes of the cylindrical battery, thereby measuring the internal resistance of the cylindrical battery. If the detection component 5 detects a defective battery, the corresponding switch cylinder 9 retracts, pulling out the stopper 11, so that the defective battery can be discharged through the inclined slot 12. After discharging, the switch cylinder 9 resets. If the detection is qualified, the switch cylinder 9 does not act. The qualified cylindrical batteries continue to move with the material distribution wheel 4 until they fall above the conveyor belt main body 72 through the blanking pipe 13 and are conveyed out by the conveyor belt main body 72 to complete the sorting.

[0040] The above has described a specific embodiment of the present invention in detail, but the content described is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention and cannot be considered as used to limit the implementation scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made according to the scope of the application of the present invention should still fall within the scope covered by the patent of the present invention.
