Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0030] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0031] Please see the attached Figures 1 to 2As shown: A buffer feeding mechanism for the middle cover packaging material of new energy battery cells, including a frame 1 made of a square object spliced from square steel materials, used to support the installation of other parts, a suction cup component 2 is provided on the top of the frame 1, used to lift and transport the middle cover; a protruding component 3 is provided between the adjacent frame 1 and the suction cup component 2, used to receive the middle cover transported by the suction cup component 2 and output it horizontally, facilitating rapid transportation by the industrial robot; a middle cover loading assembly 4 is provided on the inner side of the frame 1, used to carry the battery cell middle cover and position it, facilitating accurate grabbing of the suction cup component 2 each time; a lifting component 5 is symmetrically provided on the inner side of the frame 1, used to lift the material on the middle cover loading assembly 4 in the vertical direction. The present utility model is applied to the buffer feeding of the middle cover packaging material of new energy battery cells, and realizes automated buffer feeding of the middle cover packaging material of new energy battery cells through the coordinated action of the suction cup component 2, the protruding component 3, the middle cover loading assembly 4 and the lifting component 5, thereby replacing manual material transfer, ensuring production quality, reducing production working time and improving production efficiency. The utility model has the advantages of simple structure, cost saving and high working efficiency, reduced labor cost and labor intensity, low production cost, good product quality, high yield rate and high equipment utilization rate.
[0032] Based on the above embodiment, the suction cup component 2 includes a suction cup frame assembly 21 fixed to one side of the frame 1 and welded from square steel; the suction cup frame assembly 21 is provided with a lifting cylinder 22 for providing lifting power; the output end of the lifting cylinder 22 is provided with a suction cup bracket 23; and the sides of the suction cup bracket 23 are each provided with a vacuum part 24 that can work independently. That is, when working, the lifting cylinder 22 drives the suction cup bracket 23 to move downward until the vacuum part 24 presses on the surface of the material, and then starts the vacuum part 24 to vacuum and adsorb. Then, the lifting cylinder 22 reverses its action, lifts the suction cup bracket 23, and then lifts the new energy battery core cover packaging material and places it on the protruding part 3 for output.
[0033] Based on the above embodiment, the extending component 3 includes an extending bracket 31, a first driving source 32, a receiving plate 33, a first positioning assembly 34 and a second positioning assembly 35. The extending bracket 31 is fixedly arranged on the top of the frame 1 to provide support for the installation of the first driving source 32, the receiving plate 33 and the second positioning assembly 35; the first driving source 32 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the extending bracket 31 to provide output power for horizontal reciprocating movement; the receiving plate 33 is movably arranged on the extending bracket 31, and the first driving source 32 can drive the receiving plate 33 to move back and forth; the first positioning assembly 34 is arranged in an array around the receiving plate 33 to position and guide the middle cover; and the second positioning assembly 35 is retractably arranged at one end of the receiving plate 33 to push the middle cover to the other end to complete the positioning. Specifically, after the suction cup component 2 transfers the material to the receiving plate 33, the first and second positioning assemblies 34 and 35 begin to operate, positioning the new energy cell cover material in multiple directions before pushing it out via the first drive source 32. This effectively compensates for the robot's limited arm span and allows for a more rational layout of the remaining mechanisms. Alternatively, a robot with a smaller arm span can be selected, if appropriate, to further reduce space usage.
[0034] Based on the above embodiment, the first drive source 32 is a push-out cylinder mounted on the extension bracket 31 via a cylinder mounting base. A magnetic switch is provided at each extension or retraction position of the push-out cylinder to sense the cylinder's extension or retraction state. Of course, in other embodiments, the first drive source 32 can also be an electric, cylinder-type, or other reciprocating linear motion mechanical structure, which is not specifically limited here.
[0035] Based on the above embodiment, the first positioning assembly 34 includes a positioning and pressing cylinder 341 fixedly mounted on the receiving plate 33; the output end of the positioning and pressing cylinder 341 is provided with a guide wheel element 342;
[0036] The second positioning assembly 35 includes a second positioning and pushing cylinder 331 fixedly mounted on the receiving plate 33 ; a steering element 332 is provided at the output end of the second positioning and pushing cylinder 331 ; and a pushing fixture 333 is provided at the output end of the steering element 332 .
[0037] Based on the above embodiment, the middle cover loading assembly 4 includes a middle cover loading bracket 41; the middle cover loading bracket 41 is swingably provided with an anti-fool element 42; the anti-fool element 42 is driven to swing by an anti-fool pushing cylinder 43; the anti-fool pushing cylinder 43 is adjustably installed on the frame 1.
[0038] Based on the above embodiment, the lifting component 5 includes a lifting linear module 51 arranged in the vertical direction; the output end of the lifting linear module 51 is provided with a claw mounting support 52; the claw mounting support 52 is symmetrically and movably provided with a claw assembly 53 at both ends.
[0039] Workflow: The middle cover loading assembly 4 filled with the middle cover is transported into the interior of the frame 1 by manual labor or an AGV forklift. At this time, the claws on the claw assembly 53 on the lifting component 5 extend and insert into the bottom of the middle cover. The lifting linear module 51 moves, so that the middle cover reaches the material picking position of the suction cup component 2. The lifting cylinder 22 (three-axis cylinder) extends, the suction cup works, sucks the middle cover, the three-axis cylinder retracts to lift the middle cover, and then the telescopic cylinder of the protruding component 3 drives the receiving plate to retract and receive the middle cover. The suction cup of the vacuum part 24 stops working, and the middle cover falls on the receiving plate of the protruding component 3. The multiple groups of first positioning components 34 and second positioning components 35 on the protruding component 3 start positioning work to fix and position the middle cover. Finally, the telescopic cylinder extends to make the middle cover reach the robot picking position. The whole process effectively improves the equipment beat and increases production capacity.
