Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of soft-pack battery manufacturing equipment, and particularly relates to a water-wheel type feeding mechanism. Background Art

[0002] During the production process of soft-pack lithium batteries, it is necessary to inject electrolyte into the air bag through a liquid injection device. After the liquid injection is completed and the first encapsulation is carried out, the battery needs to be left standing for a period of time before the second encapsulation is carried out. Otherwise, it will have an adverse impact on the quality of the battery. Therefore, the traditional method is to first place the battery after the first encapsulation in a standing storage box, and then transport it to the second encapsulation equipment for subsequent processes after the standing is completed. However, the transfer from the standing storage box to the second encapsulation equipment not only increases the production cycle and reduces the production efficiency, but also cannot better connect the second encapsulation equipment with the first encapsulation equipment to improve its automation degree. Therefore, it is necessary to make a water-wheel type feeding mechanism that can be connected with the first encapsulation equipment and provide sufficient standing time to improve the automation degree of the encapsulation equipment, thereby improving the production efficiency and reducing the labor cost and time cost. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a water-wheel type feeding mechanism to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] Further description of the present utility model: It further includes a first pressing assembly. The first pressing assembly includes a Y-axis slide, a Y-axis cylinder, a Y-axis slider, a Z-axis cylinder, a lifting connection block, and a lifting pressure rod. The Y-axis slide is fixed to the rear end of the first mounting chassis. The Y-axis cylinder is fixed to the front side of the Y-axis slide. The Y-axis slider is fixed to the power output end of the Y-axis cylinder and is slidably connected to the Y-axis slide. The Z-axis cylinder is fixed to the Y-axis slider with its power output end facing upward. The lifting connection block is fixed to the power output end of the Z-axis cylinder.

[0016] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0017] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, a waterwheel type feeding mechanism includes a first mounting chassis 41, a ring conveyor belt 42, a static clamp 43, a second mounting chassis 44, a Y-axis drive assembly 45 and a movable carrier 46. The ring conveyor belt 42 is rotatably mounted on the first mounting chassis 41. A plurality of groups of static clamps 43 are provided and evenly fixed on the outer periphery of the ring conveyor belt 42. The static clamp 43 includes a clamp base 431, a first limiting plate 432 and a second limiting plate 433 which are integrally arranged. The clamp base 431 is fixed on the ring conveyor belt 42. The first limiting plate 432 and the second limiting plate 433 are respectively fixed on the front and rear sides of the clamp base 431. There is a placement gap between the first limiting plate 432 and the second limiting plate 433. Guide slopes are provided at the upper ends of the first limiting plate 432 and the second limiting plate 433, and the guide slopes face the placement gap. The second mounting chassis 44 is fixedly arranged on the front side of the ring conveyor belt 42. The Y-axis drive assembly 45 is fixed on the second mounting chassis 44 and is drivingly connected to the movable carrier 46. The bottom of the movable carrier 46 is slidably connected to the top of the second mounting chassis 44. A clearance groove 461 is provided at the rear end of the movable carrier 46. The first limiting plate 432 and the second limiting plate 433 can vertically pass through the clearance groove 461.

[0018] In the previous process, the battery is placed vertically in the static clamp 43 and corresponding to the placement gap between the first limit plate 432 and the second limit plate 433. Under the conveyance of the annular conveyor belt 42, the vertically placed battery is slowly conveyed forward. During the slow conveyance process, sufficient static time is provided for the battery. When the battery is conveyed to the front end, due to the conveyance trajectory of the annular conveyor belt 42, the battery gradually becomes horizontally placed. At this time, the Y-axis drive assembly 45 drives the movable stage 46 to slide backward on the second mounting chassis 44. After the battery is placed on the movable stage 46, the Y-axis drive assembly 45 drives the movable stage 46 to convey forward and transports the battery to the subsequent process. The advantage of this design is that by setting the waterwheel type feeding mechanism, the battery is slowly conveyed, enabling it to have sufficient static time, so that the secondary packaging equipment can be directly connected to the primary packaging equipment, improving the automation degree of production and production efficiency.

[0019] In this design, it further includes a first pressing assembly 47. The first pressing assembly 47 includes a Y-axis slide 471, a Y-axis cylinder 472, a Y-axis slider 473, a Z-axis cylinder 474, a lifting connection block 475 and a lifting pressure rod 476. The Y-axis slide 471 is fixed to the rear end of the first mounting chassis 41. The Y-axis cylinder 472 is fixed to the front side of the Y-axis slide 471. The Y-axis slider 473 is fixed to the power output end of the Y-axis cylinder 472 and is slidably connected to the Y-axis slide 471. The Z-axis cylinder 474 is fixed to the Y-axis slider 473 and its power output end faces upward. The lifting connection block 475 is fixed to the power output end of the Z-axis cylinder 474. The Y-axis slide 471, the Y-axis cylinder 472, the Y-axis slider 473, the Z-axis cylinder 474 and the lifting connection block 475 are all provided in two groups and correspond to the left and right sides of the first mounting chassis 41. The left and right ends of the lifting pressure rod 476 are respectively fixed to the two groups of lifting connection blocks 475.

[0020] After the battery is placed vertically in the static clamp 43, the Z-axis cylinder 474 drives the lifting connection block 475 and the lifting pressure rod 476 to rise. The Y-axis cylinder 472 drives the Y-axis slider 473 to run forward on the Y-axis slide 471, making the lifting pressure rod 476 correspond above the battery. Then, under the drive of the Z-axis cylinder 474, the lifting pressure rod 476 presses the battery downward into the static clamp 43, enabling the battery to be placed in place to improve the subsequent processing accuracy.

[0021] In this design, it further includes a second pressing assembly 48. The second pressing assembly 48 includes a rotating motor 481, a rotating arm 482, and a rotating pressing rod 483. The rotating motor 481 is fixed to the bottom of the movable stage 46. The lower end of the rotating arm 482 is fixed to the power output end of the rotating motor 481. There are two sets of rotating arms 482, which correspond to the left and right sides of the movable stage 46. The left and right ends of the rotating pressing rod 483 are respectively fixed to the upper ends of the two sets of rotating arms 482, and the rotating pressing rod 483 corresponds to the upper part of the movable stage 46.

[0022] After the battery is conveyed to the front end by the annular conveyor belt 42 and placed on the movable stage 46, the rotating motor 481 drives the rotating arm 482 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating pressing rod 483 to press against the front end of the battery. At this time, the Y-axis driving assembly 45 drives the movable stage 46 to move forward to prevent the position of the battery from shifting during the movement of the movable stage 46.

[0023] The static clamps 43 are arranged in two rows in the left-right direction on the annular conveyor belt 42, which can increase the number of batteries that can be cached, and thus increase the static time of each group of batteries.

[0024] The above does not impose any limitation on the technical scope of the present utility model. Any modification, equivalent change, and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
