[0036] See Figures 1 to 10 Referring to the specific embodiment shown, the present utility model discloses a rotary magazine type manifold loading and unloading device, comprising: a frame 10 and a feeding mechanism 20, a loading and unloading mechanism 30, a rotary deviation correction mechanism 40, a vision inspection mechanism 50, a waste kicking mechanism 60, a positioning and centering mechanism 70, and a conveying mechanism 80 mounted on the frame 10; the feeding mechanism 20 is used to provide the manifold, the loading and unloading mechanism 30 is used to suck the manifold to the rotary deviation correction mechanism 40, the rotary deviation correction mechanism 40 is used to adjust the posture of the manifold, the vision inspection mechanism 50 is used to take pictures and inspect the manifold after the posture is adjusted, the loading and unloading mechanism 30 is used to suck the qualified manifold to the conveying mechanism 80 and remove the unqualified manifold to the waste kicking mechanism 60, the positioning and centering mechanism 70 is used to position and center the manifold on the conveying mechanism 80, and the conveying mechanism 80 is used to transfer the positioned and centered manifold.

[0037] Specifically, the device integrates multiple functions such as feeding, picking, rectifying, vision inspection, waste kicking, discharging, and conveying. It can achieve uninterrupted, efficient, and error-free feeding to achieve the purpose of unmanned automatic operation, which is beneficial to improving the production efficiency of cylindrical battery cells, reducing the production cost of cylindrical battery cells, and further beneficial to improving the market application prospect of the products of battery manufacturers, with great practical significance in production. In addition, through the rotation rectifying mechanism 40, the attitude of the current collector plate can be accurately adjusted to ensure its accuracy and consistency in subsequent processing or assembly. The introduction of the vision inspection mechanism 50 further checks the quality of the current collector plate through photographing inspection to ensure that only qualified current collector plates enter the next process, effectively reducing the defective rate. In addition, the device can intelligently send the qualified current collector plates to the conveying mechanism 80 for the next step of processing according to the results of vision inspection, and at the same time remove the unqualified current collector plates to the waste kicking mechanism 60, realizing an intelligent sorting and elimination mechanism. This flexibility not only improves the overall efficiency of the production line but also reduces waste and costs in the production process. In addition, due to the high degree of automation and intelligence achieved, the device significantly reduces manual labor and labor costs. At the same time, by reducing defective products and waste, the material costs in the production process are further reduced. The reduction of these costs helps to enhance the market competitiveness of battery manufacturers.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 the embodiment shown. The feeding mechanism 20 includes a lifting module 21 and at least one feeding component 22. The feeding component 22 includes a workbench 221 and a rotation module 222. The rotation module 222 is used to drive the workbench 221 to rotate. The workbench 221 is provided with a plurality of material placing racks 223. The material placing racks 223 are slidably connected with a material placing plate 224. The material placing plate 224 is provided with a plurality of groups of material placing areas 225. The material placing areas 225 are used for stacking current collector plates. The top of the material placing rack 223 is provided with an opening 2231 corresponding to the material placing area 225. The lifting module 21 is arranged below the workbench 221, and the top end passes through the workbench 221 to drive the material placing plate 224 to move along the material placing rack 223 in the vertical direction, so that the uppermost current collector plate is exposed from the opening 2231.

[0039] Specifically, there are two feeding components 22, which are arranged oppositely. There are four material racks 223 on the workbench 221, and through holes are provided at the positions of the workbench 221 corresponding to the material racks 223. The lifting module 21 is fixed to the frame 10. The top end of the lifting module 21 passes through the through hole to drive the material placing plate 224 to move along the material rack 223 in the vertical direction, so that the uppermost current collector tray is exposed at the opening 2231, facilitating the loading and unloading mechanism 30 to pick up the current collector tray. After all the current collector trays on one of the material racks 223 are picked up, the rotation module 222 drives the workbench 221 to rotate, so that another material rack 223 filled with current collector trays cooperates with the lifting module 21 to continue feeding. The above operations are cycled until all the current collector trays on the four material racks 223 are picked up, and then another feeding component 22 is automatically switched for feeding. The empty feeding component 22 performs the replenishment operation, and this cycle is repeated to achieve continuous feeding.

[0040] The feeding mechanism 20 realizes the automatic feeding of the current collector tray in a mechanized manner, integrating feeding and material delivery. It can feed materials efficiently and accurately without error, so as to reduce manual operation and is conducive to improving the production efficiency of cylindrical battery cells and reducing the production cost of cylindrical battery cells. In addition, by precisely controlling the movement of the material placing plate 224 in the vertical direction through the lifting module 21, it is ensured that only the uppermost current collector tray is exposed at the opening 2231 of the material rack 223 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 current collector trays, greatly improving the accuracy and efficiency of feeding. In addition, automated 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, thus further reducing the production cost. In addition, through the precise control of mechanization, each current collector tray 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 automated feeding mechanism 20 can greatly simplify the operation process, reduce the operation difficulty and complexity, and improve work efficiency and safety.

[0041] In one embodiment, the feeding assembly 22 further includes a transmission module 226. The transmission module 226 includes a driving motor 2261, a synchronous belt 2262, a connecting plate 2263, a fixing plate 2264, and a horizontal guide rail 2265. The rotating module 222 is installed on the fixing plate 2264. The synchronous belt 2262 is drivingly connected to the driving motor 2261. One end of the connecting plate 2263 is connected to the synchronous belt 2262, and the other end is connected to the fixing plate 2264. The horizontal guide rail 2265 is installed on the frame 10. The fixing plate 2264 is slidably connected to the horizontal guide rail 2265. The driving motor 2261 drives the synchronous belt 2262 to work, so that the fixing plate 2264 moves back and forth along the direction of the horizontal guide rail 2265.

[0042] Specifically, the driving motor 2261 is the power source of the entire transmission module 226. It converts electrical energy into mechanical energy and provides power for the entire system through rotational motion. The synchronous belt 2262, as a transmission component, realizes the power transmission between the driving motor 2261 and the fixing plate 2264, ensuring the stability and accuracy during the power transmission process and reducing the transmission error. The connecting plate 2263 plays a bridging role. One end of it is connected to the synchronous belt 2262, and the other end is connected to the fixing plate 2264, realizing a firm connection between the synchronous belt 2262 and the fixing plate 2264. This connection method ensures that the power can be smoothly transmitted from the synchronous belt 2262 to the fixing plate 2264, thereby driving the rotating module 222 to move, that is, driving the workbench 221 to move. The fixing plate 2264 is not only used to install the rotating module 222, but also realizes free back-and-forth movement in the direction of the horizontal guide rail 2265 through a sliding connection with the horizontal guide rail 2265. It has a fixing and supporting function, ensuring the stability and reliability of the rotating module 222 and the workbench 221 during the movement process. The horizontal guide rail 2265 provides accurate guiding and positioning functions for the fixing plate 2264, ensuring the linearity and accuracy of the fixing plate 2264 during the back-and-forth movement process. The sliding connection design between it and the fixing plate 2264 reduces the friction and resistance during the movement process and improves the operating efficiency of the system. When all the collecting trays of one feeding assembly 22 are sucked, the transmission module 226 corresponding to this feeding assembly 22 works to move the feeding assembly 22 to the replenishing position for replenishment, while the transmission module 226 of the other feeding assembly 22 works to move it to the working position for feeding. In this way, continuous feeding is achieved. Among them, the rotating module 222 is composed of a rotating motor and adopts the existing publicly disclosed technology, which will not be elaborated here too much.

[0043] Please refer to Figures 3 to 4In the illustrated embodiment, the lifting module 21 includes a servo motor 211 and an electric push rod 212. The electric push rod 212 is drivingly connected to the servo motor 211. The top end of the electric push rod 212 passes through the workbench 221 and abuts against the material placing plate 224.

[0044] Specifically, the electric push rod 212 is located at the bottom of the workbench 221, and the top end of the electric push rod 212 passes through the through hole and abuts against the material placing plate 224 to push the material placing plate 224 to move upward. The servo motor 211 features high precision and high stability, and can accurately control the telescopic length of the electric push rod 212, thereby achieving precise control of the lifting position of the material placing plate 224. 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 211 has the ability of real-time feedback and dynamic adjustment, and can adjust the movement speed and position of the electric push rod 212 in real time according to actual requirements or system feedback to ensure that the lifting movement of the material placing plate 224 is both fast and accurate. In addition, as a power source, the servo motor 211 can provide stable and efficient power output to ensure that the electric push rod 212 can quickly respond to commands and complete the lifting action. This efficient power transmission helps to improve the overall operating efficiency of the feeding mechanism 20. The electric push rod 212 is connected to the servo motor 211 through a transmission structure, and can convert the rotational motion of the motor into a linear motion and smoothly transmit it to the material placing plate 224. This stable lifting motion helps to reduce vibration and noise and improve the smoothness and reliability of the feeding process. In addition, the combination of the servo motor 211 and the electric push rod 212 makes the structure of the lifting module 21 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.

[0045] In one embodiment, the material placing area 225 is formed by enclosing several cylinders. The upper ends of the cylinders are connected to the top of the material placing frame 223, and the lower ends pass through the material placing plate 224 and are connected to the workbench 221. A stacking column is also provided in the material placing area 225.

[0046] Specifically, the material discharging area 225 formed by enclosing several cylinders provides a stable support structure for the current collecting tray. When the current collecting tray is stacked on the stacking columns, it 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 collecting tray. In addition, the design of the cylinders is not only used to fix the current collecting tray, but also plays a guiding role. When the lifting module 21 drives the material discharging plate 224 to move, the cylinders can ensure that the current collecting tray rises or falls smoothly along the established path, avoiding collisions or misalignments between the current collecting trays, and ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of material supply. In addition, since the material discharging area 225 is formed by enclosing cylinders, this design has a certain degree of flexibility, and the spacing or number of cylinders can be adjusted to adapt to current collecting trays of different specifications and sizes. This adaptability enables the feeding mechanism 20 to be widely applied to various production scenarios, improving its versatility and practicality.

[0047] In one embodiment, the number of the cylinders is three.

[0048] 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 collecting tray is stably placed in the material discharging area 225, preventing it from displacement or tipping due to external forces or vibrations. In addition, by fixing the outer circle of the current collecting tray, the current collecting 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 collecting tray, ensuring that it moves along the established path during lifting, reducing the risk of picking errors or equipment failures caused by deviation or inclination. In addition, by fixing the outer circle of the current collecting tray, it can be ensured that the uppermost current collecting tray can accurately expose at the opening 2231 of the material discharging rack 223 each time it is lifted, facilitating the loading and unloading mechanism 30 to pick up the current collecting tray. In addition, although the outer circle of the current collecting 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, it can adapt to current collecting trays of different specifications and sizes to a certain extent, increasing the versatility and practicality of the feeding mechanism 20. Compared with more complex fixing structures, the design of the three cylinders is more concise and clear, and is easy to install, adjust and maintain.

[0049] In one embodiment, vertical guide rails are provided on both sides of the material discharging rack 223, and the material discharging plate 224 is slidably connected to the vertical guide rails.

[0050] Specifically, the vertical guide rail provides a stable lifting path for the discharge plate 224, ensuring that the discharge plate 224 can be smoothly lifted and lowered in a predetermined direction under the drive of the lifting module 21, avoiding the occurrence of offset or tilt. In addition, through the precise guidance of the vertical guide rail, the discharge plate 224 can accurately stay at a predetermined position, so that the uppermost collecting plate can be just exposed at the opening 2231 of the discharge rack 223. In addition, the sliding connection between the discharge plate 224 and the vertical guide rail 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 and the discharge plate 224 enhances the structural stability of the entire feeding assembly 22, 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, the entire feeding process is smoother and more efficient, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0051] In one embodiment, sliding blocks are fixed on both sides of the discharge plate 224, and the sliding blocks are slidably connected to the vertical guide rails.

[0052] Specifically, the contact surface between the sliding block and the vertical guide rail is specially treated (such as lubrication treatment), which can significantly reduce friction, so that the unloading plate 224 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 224 always moves along the track of the vertical guide rail during the lifting process, preventing the unloading plate 224 from deviating from the predetermined path or tilting, thereby ensuring the accuracy and stability of feeding.

[0053] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 In the embodiment shown, the loading and unloading mechanism 30 includes a support frame 31, a linear module 32, a loading assembly 33 and a unloading assembly 34, the support frame 31 is fixed to the frame 10, the linear module 32 is installed on the support frame 31, the loading assembly 33 and the unloading assembly 34 are transmission-connected to the linear module 32, and the loading assembly 33 has the same structure as the unloading assembly 34, the loading assembly 33 is used to suck the collecting plate to the rotating correction mechanism 40, and the unloading assembly 34 is used to suck the collecting plate that has passed the inspection to the conveying mechanism 80, and remove the collecting plate that has failed the inspection to the scrapping mechanism 60.

[0054] Specifically, before operation, the loading assembly 33 stays just above the loading station (i.e., corresponding to the opening 2231 of the unloading rack 223), and the loading assembly 33 only reciprocates between the loading station and the deviation correction station, while the unloading assembly 34 stays just above the deviation correction station (i.e., corresponding to the rotary deviation correction mechanism 40), and the unloading assembly 34 only reciprocates between the deviation correction station and the unloading station (i.e., corresponding to the conveying mechanism 80). The support frame 31 is the foundation of the entire mechanism, which is fixed to the frame 10 and provides a stable installation platform for the linear module 32, the loading assembly 33 and the unloading assembly 34. The function of the support frame 31 is to ensure that the entire loading and unloading mechanism 30 remains stable during high-speed and high-frequency operation to prevent operation failures caused by vibration or displacement. In addition, the linear module 32 is installed on the support frame 31, and is responsible for controlling the linear motion of the loading component 33 and the unloading component 34 in the horizontal direction. The linear module 32 ensures that the loading and unloading actions can be completed accurately and quickly by accurately controlling the movement distance and speed, thereby improving production efficiency; the loading component 33 is connected to the linear module 32 through a transmission, and is responsible for sucking the collecting plate from the loading station and transporting it to the rotating correction mechanism 40. This step is the beginning of the automated production line and is crucial to the smooth progress of the subsequent processing process; the unloading component 34 is also connected to the linear module 32 through a transmission, but the function is different. It is used to absorb and transport the qualified collecting discs to the conveying mechanism 80 for subsequent operations. At the same time, for the unqualified collecting discs, the unloading component 34 can also remove them to the scrap kicking mechanism 60 to achieve quality control and defective product management in the production process; the entire loading and unloading mechanism 30 realizes fast and accurate loading and unloading of the collecting disc through automated control, greatly improving production efficiency. At the same time, due to the use of precisely controlled linear modules 32 and stable support frame 31 structure, the consistency and accuracy of each loading and unloading action are ensured, thereby improving the processing accuracy and quality of the product.

[0055] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 In the embodiment shown, the loading assembly 33 includes a moving seat 331, a lifting cylinder 332, a mounting seat 333 and a suction cup member 334. The moving seat 331 is transmission-connected to the linear module 32, the lifting cylinder 332 is mounted on the moving seat 331, the mounting seat 333 is transmission-connected to the lifting cylinder 332, the suction cup member 334 is mounted on the mounting seat 333, the linear module 32 is used to drive the moving seat 331 to move back and forth in the horizontal direction, the lifting cylinder 332 drives the mounting seat 333 to move up and down in the vertical direction, and the suction cup member 334 is used to suck the collecting plate.

[0056] Specifically, the lifting cylinder 332 drives the suction cup 334 downward to absorb the current collecting disc, and then the lifting cylinder 332 drives the suction cup 334 upward, and then the linear module 32 drives the moving seat 331 to move to the rotating deviation correction mechanism 40, and then the lifting cylinder 332 drives the suction cup 334 downward to place the current collecting disc on the rotating deviation correction mechanism 40, and then the lifting cylinder 332 drives the suction cup 334 upward, and the linear module 32 drives the lifting cylinder 332 to reset, so as to perform the above operations in a cycle. The unloading assembly 34 performs similar operations to absorb the qualified current collecting disc to the conveying mechanism 80, and remove the unqualified current collecting disc to the waste kicking mechanism 60. That is to say, by combining the linear module 32, the lifting cylinder 332 and the mounting seat 333, the movement capability in both horizontal and vertical directions is realized. The linear module 32 is responsible for the reciprocating movement in the horizontal direction to ensure that the loading assembly 33 can accurately reach the initial position of the collecting plate, and the lifting cylinder 332 is responsible for the up and down movement in the vertical direction, so that the suction cup member 334 can be close to or away from the collecting plate to complete the suction and release actions. In addition, the suction cup member 334, as the part directly in contact with the collecting plate, can firmly absorb the collecting plate through the negative pressure or adsorption force it generates, avoiding falling or sliding during the movement. When the suction cup member 334 moves to the specified position (such as above the rotating correction mechanism 40), the collecting plate can be accurately placed at the target position by controlling the suction cup member 334 to release the negative pressure or adsorption force, thereby realizing contactless and damage-free transfer. In addition, since the loading assembly 33 realizes automated control, it can quickly complete the suction, movement and release of the collecting plate, thereby greatly improving production efficiency. Compared with traditional manual loading methods, automated loading is not only fast, but also can reduce errors and delays caused by human factors.

[0057] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 In the embodiment shown, the rotary deviation correction mechanism 40 includes a fixed frame 41, a deviation correction motor 42 and a three-jaw manipulator 43, the fixed frame 41 is installed on the frame 10, the deviation correction motor 42 is installed on the fixed frame 41, the three-jaw manipulator 43 is transmission-connected to the deviation correction motor 42, the three-jaw manipulator 43 is used to grasp the collecting plate, and the deviation correction motor 42 drives the three-jaw manipulator 43 to rotate to adjust the posture of the collecting plate.

[0058] Specifically, the fixing bracket 41 serves as the foundation of the entire rotary deviation rectifying mechanism 40 and is installed on the frame 10, providing a stable support platform for the deviation rectifying motor 42 and the three-jaw manipulator 43. This design ensures the stability and reliability of the deviation rectifying mechanism during operation, avoiding deviation or failure caused by vibration or external forces; the deviation rectifying motor 42 is installed on the fixing bracket 41 and is the core component driving the entire deviation rectifying action. When the attitude of the current collector plate deviates, the deviation rectifying motor 42 will start according to the control signal, generate power through rotation, and drive the three-jaw manipulator 43 to make precise adjustments. The deviation rectifying motor 42 features high precision and high stability, ensuring the accuracy and consistency during the adjustment process; the three-jaw manipulator 43, as the executing component, is connected to the deviation rectifying motor 42 through transmission. It uses three claws to grip the current collector plate, ensuring that the current collector plate will not fall off or shake during the adjustment. At the same time, the design of the three-jaw manipulator 43 enables it to adapt to current collector plates of different shapes and sizes, increasing the versatility and flexibility of the equipment. Additionally, through the integrated control system, the rotary deviation rectifying mechanism 40 can achieve automatic adjustment of the attitude of the current collector plate. When the attitude deviation of the current collector plate is detected, the control system will automatically issue commands to drive the deviation rectifying motor 42 and the three-jaw manipulator 43 to make corresponding adjustments without manual intervention, improving work efficiency and accuracy; some advanced rotary deviation rectifying mechanisms 40 may also be equipped with an intelligent monitoring system to real-time monitor the attitude and operating status of the current collector plate and make intelligent adjustments as needed. This design further improves the intelligent level and adaptive ability of the equipment.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 In the illustrated embodiment, the vision detection mechanism 50 includes a mounting bracket 51, a driving module 52, a moving plate 53, a camera mounting seat 54, and a CCD camera 55. The mounting bracket 51 is installed on the frame 10, the driving module 52 is installed on the mounting bracket 51, the moving plate 53 is in transmission connection with the driving module 52, the camera mounting seat 54 is connected to the moving plate 53, and the CCD camera 55 is installed on the camera mounting seat 54. The driving module 52 drives the moving plate 53 to move, so that the CCD camera 55 takes pictures and detects the current collector plate after the attitude is adjusted.

[0060] Specifically, the CCD camera 55, as the core component of the vision detection mechanism 50, has high resolution and precise color restoration ability. By being installed on the camera mounting base 54 and moving along with the moving plate 53 driven by the driving module 52, the CCD camera 55 can flexibly take pictures of the adjusted manifold. This kind of picture-taking detection can capture the fine features of the manifold and provide high-quality image data for subsequent image processing and analysis. In addition, the entire working process of the vision detection mechanism 50 is automated. After the attitude adjustment of the manifold is completed, the driving module 52 will automatically drive the moving plate 53 to move according to the preset program or external signal, so that the CCD camera 55 moves to the appropriate shooting position for taking pictures. This process does not require manual intervention, improving the detection efficiency and accuracy. The images taken by the CCD camera 55 will be transmitted to the image processing system for further analysis and processing. The image processing system can automatically identify the feature information in the images, such as abnormal suction surface (if the front side is taken as the standard, the surface of the sucked manifold is the reverse side, which is abnormal), appearance, position, defects, etc., and compare them with the preset standards to determine whether the quality of the manifold is qualified. In addition, through the automated and intelligent detection process, the vision detection mechanism 50 can significantly improve the detection efficiency of the production line. Compared with the traditional manual detection method, the automated detection can complete the detection task faster and reduce the detection errors and missed detections caused by human factors. The high-precision CCD camera 55 and the image processing system can accurately identify the defects and unqualified products on the manifold, thus ensuring that the quality of the produced products meets the standards and requirements, which is of great significance for improving the market competitiveness of the products and customer satisfaction.

[0061] In one embodiment, the camera mounting base 54 is slidably connected to the moving plate 53. An adjusting screw is provided on the camera mounting base 54. By turning the adjusting screw, the position of the camera mounting base 54 on the moving plate 53 can be adjusted, that is, by turning the adjusting screw, precise fine-tuning of the position of the camera mounting base 54 on the moving plate 53 can be achieved. This fine-tuning ability is crucial for ensuring that the camera lens is aligned with the precise position of the target object (such as the manifold), especially in occasions where high-precision imaging or detection is required.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 8 the embodiments shown in, the kick-off waste mechanism 60 includes a support base 61, an inclined slide 62 and a collection box 63. The support base 61 is installed on the frame 10. The inclined slide 62 is connected to the support base 61. The collection box 63 is arranged at the low point of the inclined slide 62. During the process of the loading and unloading mechanism 30 sucking the manifold to the conveying mechanism 80, the unqualified manifolds are kicked off to the inclined slide 62, and the collection box 63 is used to collect the unqualified manifolds.

[0063] Specifically, in the process of the unloading component 34 sucking the collecting disc and moving it to the conveying mechanism 80, if the visual inspection mechanism 50 detects that a certain collecting disc is unqualified and when the unloading component 34 moves to the top of the inclined slide 62, the suction cup member 334 releases the collecting disc so that the collecting disc falls into the inclined slide 62 and slides into the collecting box 63 along the inclined slide 62. That is to say, when the collecting disc is detected by the visual inspection mechanism 50, if it is determined to be unqualified, it will be kicked out for scrapping. In addition, the collecting box 63 is located at the low point of the inclined slide 62, which is used to receive and collect all the rejected collecting discs, so that the unqualified products are concentrated in a specific area for subsequent processing and disposal. Through the collection function of the collecting box 63, the unqualified products are effectively sorted, which not only helps to reduce the chaos and accumulation of debris at the production site, but also helps to improve the overall efficiency and cleanliness of the production line.

[0064] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 In the embodiment shown, the positioning and centering mechanism 70 includes a positioning seat 71, a positioning cylinder 72, a positioning clamping plate 73, a positioning baffle 74 and an intercepting module 75. The positioning seat 71 is installed on the frame 10, the positioning cylinder 72 and the intercepting module 75 are installed on the positioning seat 71, the positioning clamping plate 73 is transmission-connected to the positioning cylinder 72, the positioning baffle 74 is installed on the frame 10 and is arranged parallel to the positioning clamping plate 73, the conveying mechanism 80 is provided with a cup carrier 90 for placing the collecting plate, the intercepting module 75 is used to intercept the cup carrier 90, the positioning cylinder 72 drives the positioning clamping plate 73 to move, so that the cup carrier 90 abuts against the positioning baffle 74 to complete the positioning and centering, the loading and unloading mechanism 30 is used to absorb the collecting plate that has passed the inspection to the cup carrier 90, and the conveying mechanism 80 is used to transfer the cup carrier 90 after positioning and centering.

[0065] Specifically, the interception module 75 consists of interception rods. The conveying mechanism 80 adopts an existing publicly disclosed assembly line structure. The interception module 75 first intercepts a certain number (for example, 4) of cup carriers 90, and then the positioning cylinder 72 drives the positioning clamping plate 73 to move and push the cup carrier 90, so that the cup carrier 90 abuts against the positioning baffle 74 to complete positioning and centering. Then, the blanking assembly 34 sucks the qualified current collector trays to the cup carrier 90. Then, the positioning and centering mechanism 70 resets. The conveying mechanism 80 transfers the cup carrier 90 that has been positioned and centered and is equipped with the current collector tray to the next process for other operations. That is to say, by driving the positioning clamping plate 73 to move through the positioning cylinder 72, the cup carrier 90 (for placing the current collector tray) can accurately abut against the positioning baffle 74. This process ensures the precise positioning of the cup carrier 90 in the horizontal direction and provides a stable reference for subsequent operations. In addition, under the action of the positioning cylinder 72, the positioning clamping plate 73 not only realizes positioning but also promotes the cup carrier 90 to be centered in the horizontal direction, which helps to eliminate operation errors caused by position deviations and improve the overall accuracy and efficiency of the production line. In addition, the entire positioning and centering process is completed by automated components such as the positioning cylinder 72 without manual intervention, greatly improving the production efficiency. At the same time, the automated operation also reduces errors caused by human factors and improves the accuracy and stability of the production line.

[0066] Among them, the linear module 32 and the drive module 52 adopt existing publicly disclosed technologies and will not be elaborated here.

Any obvious replacement without departing from the concept of the technical solution is within the protection scope of the present invention.
