[0028] See Figures 1 to 3 In the specific embodiment shown, the present utility model discloses a magazine - type manifold feeder, including: a workbench 10 and a feeding assembly 20 installed on the workbench 10. The feeding assembly 20 includes a material - placing rack 21, a material - placing plate 22, and a lifting module 23. The material - placing plate 22 is provided with a plurality of sets of material - placing areas 24 for stacking manifolds. The top of the material - placing rack 21 is provided with an opening 211 corresponding to the material - placing areas 24. The lifting module 23 is arranged below the workbench 10, and the top end thereof passes through the workbench 10 and the material - placing rack 21 to drive the material - placing plate 22 to move vertically along the material - placing rack 21, so that the uppermost manifold is exposed at the opening 211.

[0029] Specifically, this device realizes the automatic feeding of manifolds in a mechanized way, integrating feeding and material delivery, and can feed materials efficiently and accurately without error, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing manual operation, which is beneficial to improving the production efficiency of cylindrical battery cells and reducing the production cost of cylindrical battery cells. In addition, by accurately controlling the movement of the material - placing plate 22 in the vertical direction through the lifting module 23, it is ensured that only the uppermost manifold is exposed at the opening 211 of the material - placing rack 21 each time. This method not only ensures the timeliness of feeding, but also avoids the picking errors or chaos caused by the simultaneous exposure of multiple layers of manifolds, greatly improving the accuracy and efficiency of feeding. In addition, automatic feeding reduces labor costs and material waste caused by human errors. At the same time, since the feeding process is smoother and more efficient, it also indirectly reduces the equipment waiting time and energy consumption, thereby further reducing the production cost. In addition, through the precise control of mechanization, each manifold can be sent to the next process in the same posture and position, which helps to ensure the accuracy and quality stability of subsequent processing or assembly. In addition, for operators, using this automatic feeding device can greatly simplify the operation process, reduce the operation difficulty and complexity, and improve work efficiency and safety.

[0030] In one embodiment, the feeding area 24 is enclosed by a number of cylinders. The upper ends of the cylinders are connected to the top of the feeding rack 21, and the lower ends pass through the feeding plate 22 and are connected to the bottom of the feeding rack 21.

[0031] Specifically, the feeding area 24 formed by enclosing with a number of cylinders provides a stable support structure for the current collector tray. When the current collector tray is placed in the feeding area 24, they will be restricted by the surrounding cylinders, thereby preventing displacement or tipping during transportation or lifting, ensuring the position stability and safety of the current collector tray. In addition, the design of the cylinders is not only used to fix the current collector tray, but also plays a guiding role. When the lifting module 23 drives the feeding plate 22 to move, the cylinders can ensure that the current collector tray rises or falls smoothly along the established path, avoiding collisions or misalignments between the current collector trays, and ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of feeding. In addition, since the feeding area 24 is formed by enclosing with cylinders, this design has a certain degree of flexibility, and the spacing or number of cylinders can be adjusted to adapt to current collector trays of different specifications and sizes. This adaptability enables the feeding device to be widely applied to a variety of production scenarios, improving its versatility and practicality. In addition, the cylinders are connected from the top to the bottom of the feeding rack 21, which not only provides support for the current collector tray, but also enhances the overall structural stability of the feeding rack 21. This design makes the entire feeding device more stable and reliable when bearing the weight of the current collector tray and the lifting movement.

[0032] In one embodiment, the number of the cylinders is three.

[0033] Specifically, the support points formed by the three cylinders form a stable triangular structure, which is based on the principle in geometry that three points determine a plane. This structure can ensure that the current collector tray is stably placed in the feeding area 24, preventing it from being displaced or tipped due to external forces or vibrations. In addition, by fixing the outer circle of the current collector tray, the current collector tray can maintain its original shape and position during lifting and transportation, further enhancing the stability and reliability of the fixation. In addition, the arrangement of the three cylinders can provide precise guidance for the current collector tray, ensuring that it moves along the established path during lifting, reducing the risk of picking errors or equipment failures caused by deviation or tilt. In addition, by fixing the outer circle of the current collector tray, it can be ensured that the uppermost current collector tray can be accurately exposed at the opening 211 of the feeding rack 21 every time it is lifted, facilitating subsequent picking or processing operations. In addition, although the fixation of the outer circle of the current collector tray is mentioned here, the design of the three cylinders still has a certain degree of flexibility. By adjusting the spacing and diameter of the cylinders, the current collector trays of different specifications and sizes can be adapted to a certain extent, increasing the versatility and practicality of the feeding device. Compared with more complex fixation structures, the design of the three cylinders is more concise and clear, and is easy to install, adjust and maintain.

[0034] In one embodiment, vertical guide rails 25 are provided on both sides of the material discharging rack 21 , and the material discharging plate 22 is slidably connected to the vertical guide rails 25 .

[0035] Specifically, the vertical guide rail 25 provides a stable lifting path for the discharge plate 22, ensuring that the discharge plate 22 can be smoothly lifted and lowered in a predetermined direction under the drive of the lifting module 23, avoiding the occurrence of deviation or tilt. In addition, through the precise guidance of the vertical guide rail 25, the discharge plate 22 can accurately stay at a predetermined position, so that the uppermost collecting plate can be just exposed at the opening 211 of the discharge rack 21, which is convenient for subsequent material collection operations. In addition, the sliding connection between the discharge plate 22 and the vertical guide rail 25 has a lower friction coefficient than other connection methods (such as rolling connection), thereby reducing energy loss and resistance during the lifting process and improving the lifting efficiency. In addition, the cooperation between the vertical guide rail 25 and the discharge plate 22 enhances the structural stability of the entire feeding device, so that it can withstand greater loads and impact forces during the lifting process, and prolongs the service life of the equipment. In addition, due to the precise guidance and stable lifting effect of the vertical guide rail 25, the entire feeding process is smoother and more efficient, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0036] In one embodiment, sliding blocks are fixed on both sides of the unloading plate 22 , and the sliding blocks are slidably connected to the vertical guide rails 25 .

[0037] Specifically, the contact surface between the sliding block and the vertical guide rail 25 is specially treated (such as lubrication treatment), which can significantly reduce friction, so that the unloading plate 22 can slide smoothly along the guide rail during the lifting process, avoiding the jamming or shaking caused by excessive friction. In addition, the design of the sliding block ensures that the unloading plate 22 always moves along the track of the vertical guide rail 25 during the lifting process, preventing the unloading plate 22 from deviating from the predetermined path or tilting, thereby ensuring the accuracy and stability of feeding.

[0038] In one embodiment, the lifting module 23 includes a servo motor 231 and an electric push rod 232 . The electric push rod 232 is transmission-connected to the servo motor 231 . The top end of the electric push rod 232 passes through the workbench 10 and the material unloading rack 21 and abuts against the material unloading plate 22 .

[0039] Specifically, the electric push rod 232 is fixed to the bottom of the workbench 10, and both the workbench 10 and the feeding rack 21 are provided with through holes corresponding to the electric push rod 232. The top end of the electric push rod 232 passes through the through hole and abuts against the feeding plate 22 to push the feeding plate 22 to move upward. The servo motor 231 features high precision and high stability, and can accurately control the telescopic length of the electric push rod 232, thereby achieving precise control of the lifting position of the feeding plate 22. This precise control is particularly important for application scenarios that require strict positioning, such as precision machining, automated assembly, and other fields. In addition, the servo motor 231 has the ability of real-time feedback and dynamic adjustment, and can adjust the movement speed and position of the electric push rod 232 in real time according to actual requirements or system feedback to ensure that the lifting movement of the feeding plate 22 is both fast and accurate. In addition, as a power source, the servo motor 231 can provide stable and efficient power output to ensure that the electric push rod 232 can quickly respond to commands and complete the lifting action. This efficient power transmission helps to improve the overall operating efficiency of the feeding device. The electric push rod 232 is connected to the servo motor 231 through a transmission mechanism, which can convert the rotational motion of the motor into a linear motion and smoothly transmit it to the feeding plate 22. This stable lifting movement helps to reduce vibration and noise and improve the smoothness and reliability of the feeding process. In addition, the combination of the servo motor 231 and the electric push rod 232 makes the structure of the lifting module 23 more compact and reasonable, which helps to save space and reduce manufacturing costs. At the same time, this compact structure is also convenient for installation and maintenance.

[0040] In one embodiment, horizontal guide rails 26 are further provided on both sides of the workbench 10, and the feeding rack 21 is slidably connected to the horizontal guide rails 26 so that the feeding rack 21 moves along the workbench 10 in the horizontal direction.

[0041] Specifically, the horizontal guide rails 26 provide a stable guiding path for the movement of the feeding rack 21 in the horizontal direction. By slidably connecting the feeding rack 21 to the horizontal guide rails 26, the feeding rack 21 can move smoothly along a predetermined trajectory, avoiding possible offsets or wobbles during the movement. In addition, the design of the horizontal guide rails 26 enables the feeding rack 21 to maintain a relatively stable posture during the movement, reducing vibration and impact generated by the movement, which helps to protect the equipment and improve production accuracy. In addition, the feeding rack 21 can quickly and accurately move along the horizontal guide rails 26 to the replenishment position or the working position, reducing the time wasted due to manual handling or position adjustment and improving production efficiency. In addition, by adjusting the length and layout of the horizontal guide rails 26, it is possible to flexibly adapt to the requirements of workbenches 10 of different sizes and shapes as well as production lines, improving the versatility and flexibility of the equipment.

[0042] In one embodiment, a telescopic cylinder 27 is further provided at one end of the workbench 10. The telescopic cylinder 27 is drivingly connected to the material feeding rack 21 and is used to drive the material feeding rack 21 to move along the workbench 10 in the horizontal direction.

[0043] Specifically, when the flow collecting tray is consumed, the telescopic cylinder 27 can automatically push the material feeding rack 21 from the working position to a position convenient for feeding. This process does not require manual intervention, significantly improving the automation degree of feeding. In traditional feeding methods, it is often necessary for workers to carry the flow collecting tray into the feeding device, which not only has a high labor intensity but also low efficiency. The introduction of the telescopic cylinder 27 makes the feeding process simple and fast, reducing the labor intensity of workers. In addition, the telescopic cylinder 27 can quickly push or pull back the material feeding rack 21, thus realizing the rapid replenishment of the flow collecting tray. This reduces the production interruption time caused by replenishment and improves the continuity and production efficiency of the production line. In addition, through automated feeding, the production process can be made more smooth and efficient, and production personnel can focus more on the operation of other processes without worrying about the supply problem of the flow collecting tray.

[0044] In one embodiment, a first limiting member 28 is further provided at one end of the workbench 10 far from the telescopic cylinder 27. The first limiting member 28 cooperates with the material feeding rack 21.

[0045] Specifically, the first limiting member 28 is located at the feeding position of the material feeding rack 21. When the flow collecting tray is consumed, the telescopic cylinder 27 can automatically push the material feeding rack 21 to move to the feeding position. At this time, the material feeding rack 21 abuts against the first limiting member 28. The main function of the first limiting member 28 is to limit the movement range of the material feeding rack 21 in the horizontal direction, ensure that it can accurately stop when reaching the predetermined position, and prevent the material feeding rack 21 from detaching from the workbench 10 or colliding with other components due to excessive movement. In addition, by setting the first limiting member 28, the situation of the out-of-control material feeding rack 21 caused by human misoperation or equipment failure can be effectively avoided, protecting the equipment from damage and ensuring the safety of the production site. In addition, during the automated production process, the accurate positioning of the material feeding rack 21 is crucial for ensuring production accuracy. The cooperation between the first limiting member 28 and the material feeding rack 21 can ensure that the material feeding rack 21 can reach the precise predetermined position after each movement, thereby improving production accuracy and product quality. In addition, when the material feeding rack 21 approaches or reaches the first limiting member 28 during the movement process, the limiting member can play a buffering role, reducing the vibration and impact generated by the inertia of the material feeding rack 21 and further improving the stability of the production process.

[0046] In one embodiment, second limiting members 29 are further provided on both sides of one end of the workbench 10 near the telescopic cylinder 27. The second limiting members 29 cooperate with the material feeding rack 21.

[0047] Specifically, after the replenishment of the material rack 21 is completed, the telescopic air cylinder 27 pulls the material rack 21 back to the working position. At this time, the material rack 21 abuts against the second limiting member 29. That is, when the telescopic air cylinder 27 pulls the material rack 21 back to the working position, the second limiting member 29 serves as a physical stop to ensure that the material rack 21 can accurately and stably dock at the predetermined working position. This avoids the deviation of the material rack 21 from the working position due to inertia or control error, and ensures the accuracy and reliability of subsequent operations. In addition, the presence of the second limiting member 29 effectively prevents the material rack 21 from colliding with other parts of the equipment or the edge of the workbench 10 during the reset process, thereby avoiding equipment damage and potential safety hazards. In addition, by ensuring the accurate return of the material rack 21, the manual intervention and incorrect operations caused by position deviation can be reduced, further enhancing the safety during the production process.

[0048] The above embodiments are the preferred implementation solutions of the present utility model. In addition, the present utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious replacement without departing from the concept of the technical solution is within the protection scope of the present utility model.
