Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of jigs, and in particular to a jig with elastic opening and closing. Background Art

[0002] Cylindrical materials perform well in the large family of lithium cylindrical materials and are an indispensable member. However, steel shell cylindrical materials are one of the main forms of cylindrical materials. Their cylindrical material system has higher capacity, stable output voltage, stable electrochemical performance, and is safe and reliable.

[0003] During the manufacturing process, the transportation of cylindrical materials between workstations has always been relatively complicated. The small diameter and high height of cylindrical materials make it even more difficult. Traditional heavy fixtures can cooperate with conveyor lines to transport cylindrical materials, but this type of fixture can only pick up and place cylindrical materials from the top of the fixture. As the market demand for manufacturing costs becomes lower and lower, the production capacity of our automated production lines is required to increase exponentially. This requires high-speed retrieval of cylindrical materials, and the original fixture cannot meet the demand. To this end, we invented a fixture that can directly remove cylindrical materials from the side, which can meet the requirements of fast pick-and-place. Utility Model Content

[0023] Reference Figure 1-3 The figure shows a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0024] The jig with elastic opening and closing includes a jig body 10, a placement cavity 20 for placing cylindrical materials is opened on the jig body 10, a vertical opening is opened on the top of the placement cavity 20, and a horizontal opening 30 is opened on the side of the placement cavity 20, and the horizontal opening 30 is connected to the vertical opening. A cylindrical material blocking piece 40 for elastic swing is convexly provided in the jig body 10, and the cylindrical material blocking piece 40 is partially located in the horizontal opening 30. The cylindrical material blocking piece 40 and the jig body 10 are an integrated structure.

[0025] The above-mentioned jig with elastic opening and closing, the jig body 10 is provided with an inner cavity 20 for placing cylindrical materials, so that the cylindrical materials will not fall over when the jig body 10 moves in any horizontal direction, and the inner cavity 20 is placed through the vertical opening for cylindrical materials to enter or exit vertically, and the inner cavity 20 is placed through the horizontal opening 30 for cylindrical materials to enter or exit laterally. The jig body 10 uses the cylindrical material blocking piece 40 to provide a supporting force for the cylindrical material during transportation, preventing it from falling or falling from the horizontal opening 30 during transportation, thereby improving the stability during transportation and meeting the requirements of quickly taking and placing cylindrical materials. The jig body 10 and the cylindrical material blocking piece 40 are an integrated structure, which increases the stability of its structure, solves the problem of cumbersome jig for taking and placing cylindrical materials, and avoids the defects of mechanical elastic method such as jamming and spring fatigue.

[0026] The fixture body 10 has a right-angle notch groove 11 formed inwardly concave, and the placement cavity 20 is located in the right-angle notch groove 11, and the placement cavity 20 is connected to the right-angle notch groove 11. In this way, the encirclement and wrapping of cylindrical materials can be reduced.

[0027] The right-angled notch groove 11 includes a vertical end face 12 arranged vertically and a horizontal end face 13 arranged horizontally. The horizontal end face 13 and the vertical end face 12 are arranged perpendicular to each other. The inner end of the horizontal end face 13 is connected to the bottom end of the vertical end face 12 to form the right-angled notch groove 11.

[0028] In this embodiment, the horizontal end surface 13 is located below the inner cavity 20, and the bottom of the inner cavity 20 is spaced apart from the horizontal end surface 13. This can reduce the contact area between the jig body 10 and the cylindrical material, thereby increasing the ventilation effect of the cylindrical material during transportation.

[0029] In this embodiment, both sides of the vertical end surface 12 have enclosing strips 14 protruding outwards. The enclosing strips 14 are arranged in an arc shape. The two enclosing strips 14 are arranged at intervals. The two enclosing strips 14 and the vertical end surface 12 enclose an inner cavity 20.

[0030] The cylindrical material is enclosed and limited by the two enclosing bars 14 so that the cylindrical material will not fall over when the jig body 10 moves in any horizontal direction.

[0031] In this embodiment, the inner ends of the enclosing strips 14 and the vertical end surface 12 are integrated, and the outer ends of the two enclosing strips 14 are spaced relative to each other to form a horizontal opening 30. This can reduce frictional resistance when cylindrical materials enter and exit the horizontal opening 30.

[0032] In this embodiment, both sides of the vertical end face 12 have connecting sections 41 protruding outward, the inner end of the connecting section 41 is connected to the vertical end face 12, and the outer end of the connecting section 41 is bent and extended toward the horizontal opening 30 to form a shift head 42. The two shift heads 42 are arranged relatively spaced apart to form a spaced opening smaller than the diameter of the cylindrical material. The spaced opening is located in the horizontal opening 30, and the two shift heads 42 are respectively located in the horizontal opening 30; the outer end of the connecting section 41 is connected to the inner end of the shift head 42 to form a cylindrical material shift plate 40.

[0033] The cylindrical material blocking piece 40 limits the cylindrical material and provides support force through the blocking head 42 to prevent the cylindrical material from tipping over or falling from the horizontal opening 30 during transportation. The cylindrical material blocking piece 40 can be integrated with the fixture body 10 through the connecting section 41, so that the connecting section 41 can provide it with a supporting point, thereby allowing the cylindrical material blocking piece 40 to have elastic swing and reset.

[0034] In this embodiment, the two enclosing bars 14 are located between the two cylindrical material blocking pieces 40 . An elastic area 50 for elastic deformation of the cylindrical material blocking piece 40 is formed between the enclosing bars 14 . The elastic area 50 is connected to the horizontal opening 30 .

[0035] The fixture body 10 allows the cylindrical material blocking piece 40 to have elastic swing space through the elastic area 50, so that the cylindrical material blocking piece 40 will not cause obstruction to the cylindrical material when it is put in or out, resulting in the problem of being unable to take it out.

[0036] The elastic area 50 only allows the cylindrical material stopper 40 to be separated independently, and the outer end of the connecting section 41 is connected with the inner end of the stopper head 42 to form the cylindrical material stopper 40, thereby lengthening the length of the cylindrical material stopper 40, thereby reducing the deformation of the cylindrical material stopper 40 and increasing the service life of the cylindrical material stopper 40.

[0037] In this embodiment, the cylindrical material stopper 40 is located above the horizontal end surface 13, and the bottom of the cylindrical material stopper 40 is spaced apart from the horizontal end surface 13. In this way, the horizontal end surface 13 will not hinder the cylindrical material stopper 40 during its swinging.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
