[0038] Example:

[0039] See also Figures 1-6 A double-station feeding mechanism for battery cells includes a carrier plate 1 and a guide rail 2. The guide rail 2 is fixed to the top side wall of the carrier plate 1. A connecting plate 3 is provided directly above the carrier plate 1. A slider 4 is fixed to the bottom side wall of the connecting plate 3. The slider 4 is slidably connected to one side of the guide rail 2. A distance adjustment component 5 is provided on one side of the carrier plate 1; multiple columns 6 are symmetrically distributed and fixed to the top side wall of the connecting plate 3. A support plate 7 is provided on the top side wall of the connecting plate 3. Two through slots 8 are provided on one side of the carrier plate 1. A loading component 9 adapted to the support plate 7 is provided on one side of the connecting plate 3.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, the distance adjustment component 5 includes two mounting grooves 51, the two mounting grooves 51 are opened on the top side wall of the carrier plate 1, a servo motor 52 is fixed inside the mounting groove 51, a plurality of bearing seats 53 are fixed on the top side wall of the carrier plate 1, and a screw rod 54 is connected to each two adjacent bearing seats 53 for common rotation. One end of the screw rod 54 is coaxially fixed with one end of the output shaft of the servo motor 52; two wire sleeves 55, the two wire sleeves 55 are slidably connected to the top side wall of the carrier plate 1, the wire sleeve 55 is threadedly connected to the external thread of the wire rod 54, and the wire sleeve 55 is screwed to the external thread of the wire sleeve 55. The side walls are fixed to the bottom side walls of the carrier plate 1. Through the setting of the distance adjustment component 5, the positions of the connecting plate 3 and the support plate 7 are precisely adjusted by two servo motors 52, which effectively solves the problem that the production line has to stop because the support plate 7 needs to be reloaded when there is no material. After there is no material, the support plate 7 will automatically withdraw from the processing area, which can ensure the safety of the loading personnel. When there is no material at one material level, it can directly return to the feeding position, and at the same time, the other material level can feed the production line, ensuring that the production line can continue to feed and process without interruption, which significantly improves the efficiency of battery cell feeding.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present application, the loading component 9 includes two connecting frames 91, and the two connecting frames 91 are fixed to the bottom side walls of the two connecting plates 3. A servo electric cylinder 92 is fixed to the side wall of one side of the connecting frame 91, and a connecting ring 93 is fixed to the output end of the servo electric cylinder 92. The side wall of one side of the connecting ring 93 is fixed to the bottom side wall of the support plate 7; two grooves 94, both grooves 94 are opened on the side wall of one side of the connecting plate 3, and the connecting ring 93 is located inside the groove 94. Through the setting of the loading component 9, the height position of the support plate 7 can be accurately controlled, and then the battery cell loading work can be accurately regulated in a high-precision state. The servo electric cylinder 92 is used to ensure the accuracy of the incoming material stopping position, which greatly improves the production capacity and production efficiency of the production line while ensuring the safety of personnel during loading. The present application has the characteristics of low cost, simple structure, convenience and practicality.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present application, a plurality of symmetrically distributed connecting rods 10 are fixed to the top side wall of the connecting plate 3, and a mounting frame 11 is commonly fixed to the side wall on one side of every two connecting rods 10, and a blowing pipe 12 is commonly fixed to the side wall on one side of the mounting frame 11, and a connected docking pipe 13 is fixed to one end of the blowing pipe 12; two symmetrically distributed mounting sleeves 14 are fixed to the top side wall of the connecting plate 3, and the docking pipe 13 is fixed to the inside of the mounting sleeve 14, and a threaded hollow pipe 15 is fixed to one end of the docking pipe 13. The setting of the threaded hollow pipe 15 makes it convenient for the staff to dock the pipeline with the docking pipe 13, and has the advantage of simple and convenient disassembly. The air outlet pipe continuously blows air to the product contact surface, which facilitates the separation of the product and is beneficial to improving the feeding efficiency.

[0043] In some embodiments, a photoelectric sensor 16 is commonly fixed to the top side walls of the two connecting rods 10, and the photoelectric sensor 16 is located directly above the air blow pipe 12; a load-bearing frame 17 is fixed to the bottom side wall of the supporting plate 1, and a PLC controller 18 is fixed to one side wall of the load-bearing frame 17. The PLC controller 18 is electrically connected to the servo motor 52 and the servo electric cylinder 92. The PLC controller 18 precisely controls the servo motor 52 and the servo electric cylinder 92 to achieve precise adjustment of the longitudinal position of the connecting plate 3 and accurate adjustment of the height position of the support plate 7.

[0044] In some embodiments, the top side wall of the carrier plate 1 is provided with two guide grooves 19, and the wire sleeve 55 is slidably connected to the inside of the guide groove 19. By sliding the wire sleeve 55 in the guide groove 19, it can not only guide the wire sleeve 55 when it moves, but also effectively improve the stability and smoothness of the wire sleeve 55 when it moves. The support plate 7 is slidably connected to the column 6 and one side of the connecting rod 10. The top side wall of the support plate 7 is fixed with an anti-static plate 20. The setting of the anti-static plate 20 effectively prevents the product from generating static electricity when it is placed in contact with the support plate 7; the bottom side wall of the support plate 7 is fixed with a positioning plate 22, and the top side wall of the connecting plate 3 is provided with a positioning groove 23. The positioning plate 22 and the positioning groove 23 are snap-fitted connections. When the support plate 7 is lowered to fit with the connecting plate 3, it is in a relatively stable state, which can prevent the support plate 7 from having poor accuracy due to lack of positioning when it is lowered to the origin; the connecting frame 91 is slidably connected to the inside of the groove 94, and the connecting frame 91 slides in the groove 94 to ensure the stability of the connecting frame 91 when it is moved under force. A plurality of reinforcing plates 21 are fixed between the load-bearing frame 17 and the load-bearing plate 1. The reinforcing plates 21 and the load-bearing plate 1 are arranged in an inclined distribution. A plurality of reinforcing plates 21 are fixed between the load-bearing frame 17 and the load-bearing plate 1, which can significantly improve the connection reliability between the load-bearing frame 17 and the load-bearing plate 1 and prevent unstable shaking.

[0045] During the implementation process, the battery cells are first placed on the anti-static plate 20. The stacking height of the battery cells cannot exceed the height of the photoelectric sensor 16. After the double-level discharge is completed, the photoelectric sensor 16 detects that there is a product. The staff should control the PLC controller 18 to confirm that the feeding is completed. The PLC controller 18 controls the servo motor 52 to drive, so that the screw rod 54 rotates synchronously. The threaded transmission effect between the screw rod 54 and the wire sleeve 55 is used to cause the wire sleeve 55 to move along the guide groove 19 after being subjected to force, and then drive the connecting plate 3 to move synchronously, and move the connecting plate 3 to At the feeding position, until the position of the connecting plate 3 reaches the specified position, the servo electric cylinder 92 is driven by the PLC controller 18, and then the pallet 7 is driven to move upward after being subjected to force, and the pallet 7 is driven to move upward until the photoelectric sensor 16 senses the uppermost product and stops. At the same time, the air blower 12 is used to continuously blow air to separate the uppermost product from the lower layer of products to prevent product adhesion. After the first piece of product is taken away, the servo electric cylinder 92 rises a fixed distance to keep the uppermost battery cell at the same height to facilitate material removal, and the feeding cycle is repeated until there is no material on the tray.

[0046] It should be noted that when there is no material on the pallet 7 and the photoelectric sensor 16 detects that there is no material on the pallet 7, there is no signal to determine that there is no material, and the servo electric cylinder 92 descends and returns to the origin. After the servo electric cylinder 92 returns to the origin, the connecting plate 3 and the pallet 7 are driven by the servo motor 52 to move, and the feeding personnel feeds the pallet 7. When one of the pallets 7 returns to the initial position when there is no material, the other pallet 7 feeds the material. The staff feeds one of the pallets 7, and after the other pallet 7 returns when there is no material, one of the pallets 7 feeds the material. The feeding cycle is repeated to ensure that the production line is fed uninterruptedly. The feeding personnel should ensure that the pallet 7 returns to the feeding position and stops before adding material to avoid unnecessary collisions and ensure personnel safety.

[0047] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are intended only as examples and do not limit the present invention. The objectives of the present invention have been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been demonstrated and illustrated in the embodiments. Any variations or modifications may be made to the embodiments of the present invention without departing from the principles described.
