[0025] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , the present invention provides a battery sorter.

[0027] The battery sorter includes a pre-sorting module 100, a first sorting module 200, and a second sorting module 300. The pre-sorting module 100 includes a pre-sorting frame 110, a first three-axis overhead crane 120, a plurality of pre-sorting bins 130, and a plurality of first sorting bins 140. The first three-axis overhead crane 120, the plurality of pre-sorting bins 130, and the plurality of first sorting bins 140 are all installed on the pre-sorting frame 110; batteries are placed on the pre-sorting bins 130; the first sorting module 200 includes a first sorting frame 210, a second three-axis overhead crane installed on the first sorting frame 210, and a plurality of second sorting bins 230; the second sorting module 300 includes a second sorting frame 310, a third three-axis overhead crane installed on the second sorting frame 310, and a plurality of third sorting bins 330. A synchronous belt module 400 is connected between the first sorting frame 210 and the second sorting frame 310; the first three-axis overhead crane 120 is used to select batteries of the same type on the pre-sorting bins 130 and place them in the corresponding positions of the first sorting bins 140; the second three-axis overhead crane is used to select the batteries on the first sorting bins 140 and place them in the corresponding second sorting bins 230, or place them at the inlet end of the synchronous belt module 400; the third three-axis overhead crane is used to select the batteries at the outlet end of the synchronous belt module 400 and place them on the corresponding third sorting bins 330.

[0028] Specifically, the worker pre - places the batteries to be sorted into the pre - sorting bin 130. The batteries can be of multiple grades, such as: 3V batteries, 3.5V batteries, 4V batteries, 4.5V batteries, 5V batteries and other batteries of multiple grades. When the battery sorter of the present utility model sorts the batteries, first, the first three - axis crane 120 selects a battery from the pre - sorting bin 130 and places it in the corresponding position of the first sorting bin 140 for a preliminary rough classification of the batteries. The batteries in specific positions of the first sorting bin 140 correspond to batteries of the same grade. Then, the second three - axis crane selects the batteries of the same grade in the first sorting bin 140 and places them in the corresponding second sorting bin 230. When the number of battery grades exceeds the number of the second sorting bin 230, the second three - axis crane can also place more grades of batteries at the inlet end of the synchronous belt module 400. The synchronous belt module 400 operates to convey the batteries of this grade to the outlet end of the synchronous belt module 400. The third three - axis crane receives the incoming material information and operates to select the batteries of this grade and place them in the corresponding third sorting bin 330. Each second sorting bin 230 and each third sorting bin are used to store batteries of different grades. In this way, by using the synchronous belt module 400 as the bridge for conveying between the first sorting module 200 and the second sorting module 300, the battery sorting efficiency is improved and the types of battery sorting are increased. At the same time, in order to increase the types of battery sorting and improve the battery sorting efficiency, the sorting module can be infinitely extended after the second sorting module 300. For example, a third sorting module, a fourth sorting module, etc. can be set after the second sorting module, and the synchronous belt module 400 is used as the bridge for subsequent conveying. Each sorting module is provided with a three - axis crane, and the number of sorting modules can be increased according to actual needs to increase the types of battery sorting and further improve the battery sorting efficiency.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 , in order to further improve the battery sorting efficiency, further, the number of the pre - sorting modules 100 is multiple. In this way, multiple pre - sorting modules 100 operate simultaneously to pre - sort a batch of batteries, and then the second three - axis crane selects them in batches, improving the battery sorting efficiency.

[0030] Further, a scanning head is also provided on the pre - sorting frame 110, and a two - dimensional code is provided on the pre - sorting bin 130. The scanning head is used to scan the two - dimensional code to obtain the information of the batteries on the pre - sorting bin 130. Specifically, a two - dimensional code is set on each pre - sorting bin 130. The scanning head can obtain the grade information of all the batteries on the pre - sorting bin 130 by scanning the two - dimensional code on the pre - sorting bin 130. Then, the first three - axis crane 120, the second three - axis crane, and the third three - axis crane can respectively control to take out the corresponding batteries.

[0031] Further, the battery sorter further includes an electric control box, which is signal-connected to the scanning head, the first three-axis overhead crane 120, the second three-axis overhead crane, and the third three-axis overhead crane. Specifically, the electric control box obtains the grade information of the batteries on the pre-sorting bin 130 according to the two-dimensional code scanned by the scanning head, and controls the first three-axis overhead crane 120, the second three-axis overhead crane, and the third three-axis overhead crane to sort the batteries through this battery type information, realizing automatic battery sorting, changing the traditional manual sorting method, and greatly improving the battery sorting efficiency.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 , further, a driving device is provided on the pre-sorting frame 110. The driving device is signal-connected to the electric control box. The driving device is drivingly connected to the first sorting bin 140, and the driving device can drive the first sorting bin 140 to switch back and forth between the action ranges of the first three-axis overhead crane 120 and the second three-axis overhead crane. Specifically, first, the first three-axis overhead crane 120 selects the batteries from the pre-sorting bin 130 and places them in the corresponding positions of the corresponding first sorting bin 140 for preliminary rough battery classification. The batteries in specific positions of the first sorting bin 140 correspond to the same grade of batteries. After the screening is completed, the first sorting bin 140 is driven by the driving device into the action range of the second three-axis overhead crane. Then, the second three-axis overhead crane selects the batteries of the same grade in the first sorting bin 140 into the corresponding second sorting bin 230. When the batteries in the first sorting bin 140 are all selected, the driving device drives the first sorting bin 140 to move back to the action range of the first three-axis overhead crane 120, and the first three-axis overhead crane 120 continues to select the batteries and place them in the first sorting bin 140. Driving the first sorting bin 140 to move by the driving device is a conventional existing technology and will not be elaborated here.

A second jaw 224 is provided on the second Z-axis assembly 223. Specifically, the direction in which the second transmission block 222 slides on the second overhead crane support 221 is perpendicular to the direction in which the second Z-axis assembly 223 slides on the second transmission block 222, so that the second transmission block 222 can drive the second Z-axis assembly 223 to move in the left-right direction, the second Z-axis assembly 223 can move in the front-back direction on the second transmission block 222, and the second Z-axis assembly 223 can drive the second jaw 224 to move in the up-down direction.
