[0002] Cylindrical lithium batteries are a common type of battery, usually used in applications such as electric vehicles, portable devices, and energy storage systems. In order to track and identify the key information of the batteries during production and use, it is necessary to perform coding marks on the outer surface of the cylindrical lithium batteries.

[0003] When the existing cylindrical lithium batteries are coded and marked, they are mostly transported by a belt conveyor, and then the information is sprayed on the outer surface of the lithium battery through the nozzle of the coding machine. Since the cylindrical lithium batteries are easy to roll on the conveyor belt, they may be skewed, resulting in the distortion of the font of the marked information after coding, affecting the later recognition effect. In addition, there may also be cases of missed coding. For this reason, we propose a coding and feeding device for cylindrical lithium batteries. Content of the Utility Model

[0033] In this embodiment, preferably, the driving mechanism includes a motor 41, a driven gear 42, a rotating rod 43, a first mounting block 45 and a connecting gear 47. The two first mounting blocks 45 are symmetrically installed on the two side walls of the feeding cylinder 1, and the first baffle 5 is slidably matched with the first mounting block 45. A rotating rod 43 is rotatably arranged inside the first mounting block 45. A connecting gear 47 is sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating rod 43. The driven gear 42 is rotatably installed on the outer surface of the feeding cylinder 1, and the driven gear 42 is meshed and connected with the two connecting gears 47 respectively. The top end of the rotating rod 43 is connected with a motor 41 for driving its rotation, and the motor 41 is fixed to the feeding cylinder 1. A first convex block 431 for pushing the first baffle 5 to move is fixed on the upper end of the outer surface of the rotating rod 43, which is convenient for driving the two first baffles 5 to move simultaneously so as to block the cylindrical lithium batteries.

[0034] In this embodiment, preferably, the driving mechanism further includes a second mounting block 46, a fixing plate 61 and a first return spring 62. The second mounting block 46 is arranged side by side with the first mounting block 45, and the second baffle 6 is slidably matched with the second mounting block 46 through a chute inside the second mounting block 46. A fixing plate 61 is fixed on the second baffle 6, and a first return spring 62 which abuts against the second mounting block 46 is fixed on one side wall of the fixing plate 61, which is convenient for the second baffle 6 to automatically reset.

[0038] In this embodiment, preferably, a wiring terminal connected to an external inkjet printer is arranged on the outer surface of the guiding housing 2.

[0039] Working principle and usage process of the utility model: When in use, the guiding housing 2 is externally connected to a coding machine device through a terminal. The cylindrical lithium batteries to be coded and marked are placed inside the feeding cylinder 1. At this time, the first baffle 5 blocks a plurality of cylindrical lithium batteries. When coding and marking, the motor 41 drives the two rotating rods 43 symmetrically arranged on the side wall of the feeding cylinder 1 to rotate simultaneously through the driven gear 42. The rotating rod 43 drives the first convex block 431 and the second convex block 432 to rotate until the notch of the first convex block 431 corresponds to the first baffle 5. At this time, the second return spring on the first baffle 5 pushes the first baffle 5 to move towards the side away from the feeding cylinder 1, guiding the cylindrical lithium battery through the guiding housing 2 to prevent skew. The cylindrical lithium battery falls under the action of gravity, contacts the second baffle 6, and enters the storage space between the first baffle 5 and the second baffle 6 for temporary storage. The rotating rod 43 continues to rotate to make the first baffle 5 insert into the feeding cylinder 1 again, blocking the cylindrical lithium battery on the first baffle 5 until the second convex block 432 does not contact the fixing plate 61. At this time, the second baffle 6 moves towards the side away from the feeding cylinder 1, and the cylindrical lithium battery falls under the action of gravity into the guiding housing 2, completing the feeding. At the same time, the first baffle 5 inside the discharging cylinder 3 restricts the movement of the cylindrical lithium battery after entering the guiding housing 2, so that the coding nozzle on the inner side wall of the guiding housing 2 can code and mark the outer surface of the cylindrical lithium battery. After completing the coding and marking action, the driving mechanism on the outer wall of the discharging cylinder 3 moves the first baffle 5, and the cylindrical lithium battery falls under the action of gravity for discharging.

[0040] Although the embodiments of the present utility model have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present utility model. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
