[0034] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with embodiments.

[0035] Embodiment 1:

[0036] This case proposes a tooling for discharging NG products. Referring to the attached Figures 1-6 , it mainly includes two parts: a conveyor belt 1 and an NG product conveyor belt 2. There are multiple battery carriers 10 driven on the conveyor belt 1, and each battery carrier 10 is inserted with a battery.

[0037] The NG product conveyor belt 2 is perpendicular to the conveyor belt 1 and is used to convey NG products.

[0038] Referring to the attached Figure 4, in this case, a steering block 3 that can move towards the NG product conveyor belt 2 is provided on the conveyor belt 1. The steering block 3 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 1. When it straddles the conveyor belt 1, it blocks the front end of the battery carrier 10 on the conveyor belt 1 and conducts the conveyor belt 1 and the NG product conveyor belt 2, driving the battery carrier 10 to be conveyed onto the NG product conveyor belt 2.

[0039] The battery carrier 10 in this case has a cylindrical structure with a cavity in the middle, and its outer end is smooth. When it is conveyed on the conveyor belt 1, due to the intervention of the steering block 3, the conveyance of the battery carrier 10 will be restricted and the original conveyance trajectory of the battery carrier 10 will be changed. In this case, the end face of the steering block 3 facing the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 1 is an inclined plane. When the steering block 3 blocks the front end of the battery carrier 10, the battery carrier 10 will contact the straight surface of the steering block 3. An opening is provided at the position of the conveyor belt 1 corresponding to the NG product conveyor belt 2, and the steering block 3 is provided on one side of the opening. When the steering block 3 moves towards the opening direction, the "one"-shaped conveyance trajectory of the battery carrier 10 on the conveyor belt 1 becomes a right-angled conveyance trajectory, so that the battery carrier 10 moves towards the NG product conveyor belt 2 side.

[0040] Refer to the appendix Figure 3 , this solution further includes an NG product transfer belt 4. The NG product transfer belt 4 is vertically provided on one side of the NG product conveyor belt 2, and a gripper 5 is provided between the NG product conveyor belt 2 and the NG product transfer belt 4. The gripper 5 can linearly move along the conveying direction of the NG product transfer belt 4 and can take out the battery in the battery carrier 10 and transfer it to the NG product transfer belt 4.

[0041] Specifically, the NG product conveyor belt 2 in this case is in a right-angled shape, and the NG product transfer belt 4 is located at the concave surface of the NG product conveyor belt 2 and is vertically provided above the conveyor belt 1. The gripper 5 in this case can realize synchronous movement in the X-axis and Y-axis directions. Since the height of the NG product transfer belt 4 is higher than that of the NG product conveyor belt 2, the gripper 5 will first descend and clamp the battery in the battery carrier 10 on the NG product conveyor belt 2 and transfer it to the NG product transfer belt 4.

[0042] Refer to the appendix Figure 5 , and a plurality of battery accommodation blocks 41 are equidistantly distributed along the conveying direction of the NG product transfer belt 4. Four slots 411 are equidistantly arranged along the width direction of the NG product transfer belt 4 on each battery accommodation block 41. The slots 411 are cylindrical. When the gripper 5 clamps the battery and conveys it to the NG product transfer belt 4, it will stop above the slots 411 and place the battery into the slots 411.

[0043] Embodiment 2:

[0044] This embodiment is based on Embodiment 1 and further illustrates the structure of the clamping jaw 5.

[0045] In this case, the clamping jaw 5 can at most simultaneously pick up four batteries, corresponding to four slots 411. When the batteries are loaded into the slots 411, the NG product transfer belt 4 starts to drive and conveys the defective batteries away.

[0046] Refer to the appendix Figure 1 , and an observation box 42 is provided at the end of the NG product transfer belt 4. The lid of the observation box 42 is hinged to the upper end of the observation box 42. The staff can judge the reason for the defective products by observing the conveyed defective products and solve the problems accordingly.

[0047] Embodiment 3:

[0048] This embodiment is based on Embodiment 1 and further refines the method and structure for visually inspecting the batteries.

[0049] Refer to the appendix Figure 2 , it is worth mentioning that a vision inspection camera 6 is provided on one side of the conveyor belt 1 and above the steering block 3 in this case. The imaging end of the vision inspection camera 6 faces the conveyor belt 1. When the vision inspection camera 6 captures a defective battery or the number of the battery carrier 10, a drive mechanism capable of driving the linear movement of the steering block 3 sends a signal to move the steering block 3 and change the movement path of the battery carrier 10.

[0050] It should be noted that the method for judging whether the battery in the battery carrier 10 is a defective product in this case is not specifically limited. It can be directly judged by taking an image of the battery, or an identifiable mark can be set on the battery carrier 10 where the battery is placed. When the battery in the battery carrier 10 has poor processing quality, the battery carrier 10 can be recognized by the vision inspection camera 6. The specific recognition means is a well-known technology and will not be elaborated here too much.

[0051] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than limiting it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the protection scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
