Traditional manual sorting methods are not only inefficient but can also damage the cells due to improper operation, impacting product quality. Furthermore, while stacks of cells are waiting to be transported, the excessive weight of the cells on top can easily cause edge breakage and internal cracks on the lower cells. Utility Model Content

[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams that only illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only show components related to the present invention.

[0021] It should be noted that if there are directional indications (such as up, down, bottom, top, etc.) involved in this embodiment, the directional indication is only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components in a certain specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly. The terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. Unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "set", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be a communication between the two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0022] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a material dividing mechanism for battery cell production includes a frame 1 and a conveying mechanism capable of conveying battery cells 2 in a horizontal direction. The battery cells 2 are sequentially abutted and placed upright on a conveyor belt 3 in the conveying mechanism. The material dividing mechanism includes a clamping plate 4 that can be arranged on both sides of the battery cell 2, a brush 6 that can press down on the top of the battery cell 2, and a flip module that can flip the battery cell 2. Different from the traditional feeding method of stacking battery cells 2, the battery cell 2 is limited by the clamping plate 4 and can be placed upright on the conveyor belt 3, thereby effectively avoiding the battery cell 2 from being damaged at the edge and having internal cracks due to stacking. At the same time, the bristles on the brush 6 are hard bristles. When the conveyor belt 3 conveys the battery cell 2 along the conveying direction, it can effectively act on the top of the battery cell 2 to prevent it from tipping over.

[0023] As mentioned above, the brush 6 is suspended at the conveying end of the conveyor belt 3 and pressed down on the battery cell 2 at the conveying end to prevent the battery cell 2 from falling or tipping over. At the same time, the flip module includes a rotary drive 7 provided on the frame. The output end of the rotary drive 7 is provided with a vacuum suction cup 8 that can be telescopically moved toward the conveyor belt 3. The rotary drive 7 can drive the vacuum suction cup 8 to rotate. The vacuum suction cup 8 can move toward the battery cell 2 at the output end and adsorb on the surface of the battery cell 2. After the vacuum suction cup 8 is firmly adsorbed on the battery cell 2, the vacuum suction cup 8 can be moved away from the conveyor belt 3 to remove the battery cell 2. In this technical solution, the continuous action of the vacuum suction cup 8 in conjunction with the conveying mechanism can continuously and efficiently complete the material separation operation of the battery cell 2.

[0024] Further, such as Figure 2As shown, in order to increase the carrying capacity of the conveyor belt 3, the inner sides of the two ends of the conveyor belt 3 are respectively mounted on two gear shafts 9, and the gear teeth on the gear shaft 9 are engaged with the conveyor belt 3. The two ends of the two gear shafts 9 are respectively rotatably connected to a set of side plates 10, and the side plates 10 are installed on the frame 1, and one of the gear shafts 9 is driven by a servo motor 11. The servo motor 11 is a prior art, and the output end of the servo motor 11 can be connected to one of the gear shafts 9 through a belt drive or a chain drive.

[0025] The above, such as Figure 4 As shown, in order to increase the stability of the conveyor belt 3 , a support base 12 capable of supporting the inner side of the conveyor belt 3 is provided on the frame 1 .

[0026] Furthermore, in this technical solution, if Figure 3 As shown, the splint 4 is installed on the side panel 10, and a U-shaped groove 401 is provided on the side of the splint 4 that is adjacent to the side panel 10. The splint 4 can be passed through the U-shaped groove 401 to pass a bolt that can be threadedly connected to the side panel 10, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the splint 4 to meet the use requirements of battery cells 2 of different specifications.

[0027] Furthermore, in the technical solution, the rotary drive 7 is a rotary cylinder, which has a fast response speed and runs smoothly, and can operate for a long time; similarly, the vacuum suction cup 8 is driven by a multi-axis cylinder 14 arranged at the output end of the rotary drive 7. The multi-axis cylinder 14 can accurately control the direction and distance of the vacuum suction cup 8 moving toward the conveyor belt 3, and at the same time has a good load-bearing capacity, and can remain stable when moving the battery cell 2.

[0028] In this technical solution, the conveyor belt 3 can convey the battery cell 2 along the X-axis direction, the rotary drive 7 can drive the vacuum suction cup 8 to rotate with the Y-axis as the rotation axis, and the multi-axis cylinder 14 can drive the vacuum suction cup 8 to retract and extend in a plane perpendicular to the Y-axis, with the Y-axis as the center; the X-axis and Y-axis correspond to any two axes in the spatial rectangular coordinate system.

[0029] Working principle: First, the battery cells 2 are manually placed on the conveyor belt 3 in sequence, and then the conveyor belt 3 is driven by the servo motor 11 to transport the battery cells 2. The vacuum suction cup 8 is driven by the rotary cylinder and the multi-axis cylinder 14 to move the battery cells 2 at the end of the conveying to the conveyor line 15, so as to continuously and efficiently divide the battery cells 2.

[0030] The above description is based on the ideal embodiment of the present invention. Based on the above description, relevant personnel can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical scope of the present invention. The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the content of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
