[0024] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, this embodiment provides a battery receiving device, including an electric conveyor belt 1 for conveying the lithium battery 12. An electromagnet 2 is movably arranged on one side of the electric conveyor belt 1 to adsorb the end of the lithium battery 12. A guide member 3 is clamped at the lower end of the electromagnet 2. The guide member 3 includes a frame 31 and a through hole 32. Both sides of the frame 31 are clamped with the electromagnet 2, and a through hole 32 is arranged at the lower end of the frame 31 for positioning the lithium battery 12. The number of the through holes 32 is 18 - 48; the diameter of the through hole 32 is larger than that of the lithium battery 12, and the larger range is 0.3 mm;

[0025] One side of the mounting frame of the electric conveyor belt 1 is fixedly provided with a connecting seat 6. One side of the connecting seat 6 is provided with a controller 10. The upper end of the connecting seat 6 is fixedly provided with an electric slide rail 7. The output end of the electric slide rail 7 is fixed to the electromagnet 2 through a bracket for driving the horizontal movement of the electromagnet 2. One end of the electric slide rail 7 close to the electric conveyor belt 1 is provided with an infrared position sensor 11. A packaging box is placed on the upper end of the electric conveyor belt 1. One side of the connecting seat 6 is fixedly provided with an electric telescopic rod 8 through a connecting plate. One side of the connecting seat 6 is also slidably mounted with a bottom frame 9 through a slide rail, and the lower surface of the bottom frame 9 is fixed to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 8 through bolts; By starting the electromagnet 2 and the electric slide rail 7 through the controller 10, the electric slide rail 7 can drive the electromagnet 2 with magnetic force to move horizontally flexibly. After the electromagnet 2 moves above the lithium battery 12, it will adsorb the end of the lithium battery 12 to make the lithium battery 12 be adsorbed into the through hole 32 and positioned in an upright state. Then the electric slide rail 7 drives the electromagnet 2 to move above the electric conveyor belt 1. After the infrared position sensor 11 detects the packaging box, the electric conveyor belt 1 stops. At the same time, the electromagnetic force of the electromagnet 2 disappears, and the lithium battery 12 is placed in the packaging box;

[0026] One side of the electromagnet 2 is provided with an ear block 15. A pin rod 14 is elastically arranged in the ear block 15. The other side of the electromagnet 2 is integrally provided with a U-shaped rod 13, and a limiting block 5 is integrally arranged on the periphery of the U-shaped rod 13. One side of the frame 31 is provided with a first side hole 33, and the other side of the frame 31 is provided with a second side hole 34. One ends of the U-shaped rod 13 and the pin rod 14 are respectively inserted into the first side hole 33 and the second side hole 34, and one side of the frame 31 abuts against the inner side of the limiting block 5. A return spring 16 is sleeved on the periphery of the pin rod 14. One end of the return spring 16 is fixed to the ear block 15, and the other end of the return spring 16 is fixed to the pulling end of the pin rod 14. In the initial state, one end of the U-shaped rod 13 is inserted into the first side hole 33, and at the same time, the limiting block 5 abuts against one side of the frame 31 for limiting the frame 31. The pin rod 14 elastically abuts against the second side hole 34 under the action of the return spring 16, which is mainly used for installing the frame 31. When it is necessary to replace the frame 31 with different numbers of through holes 32, the pin rod 14 can be first pulled away from the second side hole 34, and then the frame 31 can be pulled away from the first side hole 33, and then the frame 31 can be removed and replaced, which increases the convenience of replacing the frame 31;

[0027] Among them, a placement member 4 is arranged inside the bottom frame 9. The placement member 4 includes a base 41 and a placement groove 42. The outer surface of the base 41 is in tight contact with the inner wall of the bottom frame 9. A plurality of placement grooves 42 are provided, all of which are opened on the upper inclined surface of the base 41. The placement grooves 42 are arranged at equal intervals, and the placement grooves 42 can hold batteries. Since the plurality of placement grooves 42 are arranged at an inclination of 30 - 60 degrees, after the lithium battery 12 falls onto the base 41, it will first enter the placement groove 42, and then the top end of the lithium battery 12 will be inclined upward, which can be closer to the lower end of the electromagnet 2; the number of the placement grooves 42 is the same as the number of the through holes 32.

[0028] Among them, the controller 10 can select an S7-200 ultra-miniature PLC controller, which is electrically connected to the infrared position sensor 11, the electromagnet 2, the electric slide rail 7 and the electric conveyor belt 1 respectively.

[0029] Among them, the infrared position sensor 11 can select a dual-band infrared sensor with the model number TS118-3, which can detect using two different wavelength ranges of infrared rays, improving the accuracy and robustness of detection. TS118-3 is one of the models, which is suitable for occasions that require higher-precision position detection.

[0030] Working principle: After the produced lithium battery 12 is placed in the placement groove 42 of the placement member 4, the electromagnet 2 and the electric slide rail 7 can be started through the controller 10. The electric slide rail 7 can drive the electromagnet 2 that generates magnetic force to move horizontally flexibly. After the electromagnet 2 moves above the lithium battery 12, it will adsorb the end of the lithium battery 12 to make the lithium battery 12 be adsorbed into the through hole 32 and positioned in an upright state. Then the electric slide rail 7 drives the electromagnet 2 to move above the electric conveyor belt 1, and the electromagnetic force of the electromagnet 2 disappears, so that the lithium battery 12 is placed in the packaging box. In this way, the lithium battery 12 is transported and collected by the adsorption of the electromagnet 2, which can avoid the collision of the lithium battery 12 during the transportation and collection process and further increase safety;

[0031] After the lithium battery 12 is placed on the base 41 of the placement member 4, since the plurality of placement grooves 42 are arranged in an inclined manner, after the lithium battery 12 falls onto the base 41, it will first enter the placement groove 42, and then the top end of the lithium battery 12 will be inclined upward, which can be closer to the lower end of the electromagnet 2, thereby improving the efficiency of the electromagnet 2 in adsorbing the lithium battery 12. At the same time, the placement groove 42 can correct the positions of the lithium batteries 12 one by one, preventing the lithium batteries 12 from being disordered.

[0032] In the provided battery receiving device, the electric slide rail 7, as one of the key components, is responsible for driving the electromagnet 2 to move horizontally flexibly to achieve the precise positioning and collection of lithium batteries. The following is the specific technical solution of the electric slide rail 7:

[0033] Technical characteristics and composition of the electric slide rail 7

[0034] Drive mode:

[0035] The electric slide rail 7 is driven by a motor, which is usually powered by a DC or AC power supply and achieves precise control through a circuit controller. This drive mode makes the movement of the slide rail smoother, more reliable and accurate.

[0036] Stroke control:

[0037] The electric slide rail 7 is equipped with a stroke control system for precisely controlling parameters such as the displacement, speed and homing of the slide rail. This ensures that the electromagnet 2 can accurately move above the lithium battery for adsorption and return to the initial position after completing the collection task.

[0038] Sensor feedback:

[0039] To achieve precise stroke control, the electric slide rail 7 is also equipped with a sensor feedback system. The sensor continuously monitors parameters such as the position and speed of the slide rail and feeds the information back to the controller. The controller adjusts the voltage and current of the motor according to the feedback information to maintain the stable operation of the slide rail.

[0040] Mechanism design:

[0041] The mechanism design of the electric slide rail 7 needs to meet requirements such as smooth movement, firm structure and safety and reliability. It usually consists of a slide rail body, a slider, a transmission mechanism (such as a ball screw, a synchronous belt, etc.) and a support structure. These components are finely designed and optimized to ensure the stability and durability of the slide rail during long-term operation.

[0042] Precision and load capacity:

[0043] The electric slide rail 7 has high positioning accuracy and repeat positioning accuracy, and can meet the strict requirements for accuracy during the lithium battery material collection process. At the same time, it also has sufficient load capacity to support the weight of the electromagnet 2 and the lithium battery it adsorbs.

[0044] Integration and control:

[0045] The electric slide rail 7 is closely integrated with the controller 10 (such as an S7-200 ultra-miniature PLC controller) and achieves precise control through electrical signals. The controller receives signals from the infrared position sensor 11 and controls the movement trajectory and speed of the electric slide rail 7 according to the preset program.

[0046] Workflow

[0047] When the controller 10 receives a start signal, it first drives the electric slide rail 7 to drive the electromagnet 2 to move above the lithium battery.

[0048] After the electromagnet 2 moves to the specified position, it is energized to generate a magnetic force to adsorb the end of the lithium battery.

[0049] After the electromagnet 2 adsorbs the lithium battery, the electric slide rail 7 continues to drive it to move above the electric conveyor belt 1.

[0050] After the infrared position sensor 11 detects the packaging box, the controller 10 controls the electric conveyor belt 1 to stop running, and at the same time cuts off the power supply of the electromagnet 2 to make its magnetic force disappear.

[0051] The lithium battery falls into the packaging box under the action of gravity, completing the collection process.

[0052] The electric slide rail 7 drives the electromagnet 2 to return to the initial position, preparing for the next collection task.

[0053] In summary, the electric slide rail 7 plays a crucial role in the battery receiving device. By precisely controlling the movement trajectory and speed of the electromagnet 2, it realizes the precise positioning and efficient collection of lithium batteries.

[0054] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any minor modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
