However, during the conveying process, the dimensions of some battery steel shells fail to meet the standard requirements, but the existing loading equipment is difficult to effectively detect and separate them. In this case, unqualified battery steel shells are likely to enter the subsequent manufacturing links, thereby causing equipment jams or processing failures, affecting overall production efficiency, and also increasing the scrap rate of products.

[0004] Therefore, the prior art has defects and needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0025] In order to make the purpose, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it may be directly connected to the other component or there may be a centrally located component.

[0027] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the embodiment of the utility model provides a battery steel shell automatic detection and feeding conveying device, including a feeding hopper 1, a steel shell lifting mechanism 2, a material clamping and conveying mechanism 3, a material guide trough 4, a first drop pipe 5, a material receiving box 6, an arc-shaped material guide plate 7 and a second drop pipe 8;

[0029] The feeding hopper 1 is arranged at the bottom of the steel shell lifting mechanism 2. The feeding hopper 1 is used to install the battery steel shell to be loaded and conveyed. The steel shell lifting mechanism 2 is used to carry the battery steel shell in the feeding hopper 1 and move it in the vertical direction. The clamping and conveying mechanism 3 is tilted and arranged at the top of the steel shell lifting mechanism 2. The height of the clamping and conveying mechanism 3 gradually decreases in the direction away from the steel shell lifting mechanism 2; when the battery steel shell is conveyed to the top under the action of the steel shell lifting mechanism 2, the battery steel shell can slide into the clamping and conveying mechanism 3 under the action of gravity. The clamping and conveying mechanism 3 can screen the size of the battery steel shell so that the battery steel shell that meets the standard size can naturally slide downward under the action of gravity for conveying.

[0030] The material clamping and conveying mechanism 3 includes a frame 31, a rotating motor 32, a pulley transmission assembly 33, a first rotating shaft 34 and a second rotating shaft 35. The frame 31 is arranged on the top side of the steel shell lifting mechanism 2. The first rotating shaft 34 and the second rotating shaft 35 are arranged parallel to the frame 31. The output shaft of the rotating motor 32 is connected to the first rotating shaft 34 and the second rotating shaft 35 respectively through the pulley transmission assembly 33. A gap is formed between the first rotating shaft 34 and the second rotating shaft 35. The guide trough 4 is inclined. At the bottom of the gap, the top of the first dropping tube 5 is connected to the tail of the guide trough 4, the bottom of the first dropping tube 5 is connected to the receiving box 6, the arc-shaped guide plate 7 is arranged above the bottom of the clamping and conveying mechanism 3, and the top of the second dropping tube 8 is connected to the outlet end of the arc-shaped guide plate 7. The arc-shaped guide plate 7 is used to guide and convey the battery steel shell into the second dropping tube 8. The bottom of the second dropping tube 8 is connected to the feeding head to convey the unqualified battery steel shell into the feeding hopper 1. The rotating motor 32 can drive the first rotating shaft 34 and the second rotating shaft 35 to rotate through the pulley transmission assembly 33. When the battery steel shell enters the gap, the gap will screen and detect the battery steel shells of different sizes. The battery steel shells with smaller sizes will fall from the gap into the guide trough 4 and slide along the first drop tube 5 to the receiving box 6 for collection; the battery steel shells with qualified sizes will slide in the gap to be transported to the next process equipment at the tail end; the battery steel shells with oversized sizes will be clamped by the gap and will slide along the first rotating shaft 3 4 and the rotation of the second rotating shaft 35, and is guided by the arc-shaped guide plate 7 to be transported to the second drop tube 8. The second drop tube 8 can re-transport the battery steel shell to the feeding hopper 1 to avoid waste of resources due to detection errors. At the same time, in this embodiment, the second drop tube 8 is obliquely arranged between the clamping and conveying mechanism 3 and the feeding hopper 1. Such an arrangement can prevent the battery steel shell from accumulating in the second drop tube 8, reduce the residence time of the battery steel shell in the second drop tube 8, ensure the smooth transportation of the battery steel shell, and prevent blockage.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, further, the outer ends of the first rotating shaft 34 and the second rotating shaft 35 are provided with limiting side plates 36, which are used to prevent the battery steel shell from falling out of the said gap. During the clamping and conveying process, the battery steel shell is easily moved to the outside of the gap due to the rotation of the first rotating shaft 34 and the second rotating shaft 35 and the sliding of the battery steel shell. The provision of the limiting side plates 36 can prevent the battery steel shell from sliding out or falling out of the outside of the gap, so that the battery steel shell remains on the conveying path of the gap, improving the stability of the conveying process.

[0032] like Figure 1As shown, the transfer hopper 21 is further included. The transfer hopper 21 is provided between the steel shell lifting mechanism 2 and the clamping and conveying mechanism 3 to guide the battery steel shell on the steel shell lifting mechanism 2 to be conveyed to the clamping and conveying mechanism 3. Due to the height difference between the steel shell lifting mechanism 2 and the clamping and conveying mechanism 3, the provision of the transfer hopper 21 can prevent the battery steel shell from being stuck or slipping at the joint, thereby improving the stability of the battery steel shell conveying.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, further, the feeding hopper 1 is provided with a flip cover 10, and the flip cover 10 is used to open or close the feeding hopper 1. Such a setting can facilitate the rapid feeding of battery steel shells.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, further, the first drop tube 5 and the receiving box 6 are not arranged vertically. Such an arrangement can reduce the falling speed of the battery steel shell, make the battery steel shell slide into the receiving box 6 more smoothly, and avoid damage or deformation of the battery steel shell.

[0035] Furthermore, the angle between the clamping and conveying mechanism 3 and the horizontal plane is 20-40 degrees. In this embodiment, the angle between the clamping and conveying mechanism 3 and the horizontal plane is 30 degrees. This setting can balance the gravity and friction of the battery steel shell, prevent the battery steel shell from sliding too fast, and ensure the smoothness of the conveying process.

[0036] Furthermore, the first rotating shaft 34 and the second rotating shaft 35 are both made of plastic or rubber. This configuration can reduce the hard contact between the battery steel shell and the first rotating shaft 34 or the second rotating shaft 35, thereby effectively protecting the battery steel shell and avoiding damage due to friction or collision.

[0037] As described above, the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
