[0034] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the present invention in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. 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.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0036] It should be noted that in the description of this utility model, the terms "connection" and "installation" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integral connection; direct connection or connection through an intermediate medium; mechanical connection or electrical connection. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0037] Based on the technical problems of the prior art of fixing the storage box by bolts, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and affects production efficiency, the first embodiment of the present invention provides a material storage mechanism, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The material storage mechanism includes a storage rack 1 and a plurality of storage boxes 2 and a plurality of positioning components 3 mounted on the storage rack 1, wherein:

[0038] The storage box 2 corresponds to the positioning component 3 one by one;

[0039] Each storage box 2 is provided with a positioning hole 21;

[0040] Each positioning assembly 3 includes a positioning shaft 31 and a driving structure. The positioning shaft 31 is slidably connected to the storage rack 1 , and the driving structure is used to drive the positioning shaft 31 to insert into or move out of the corresponding positioning hole 21 .

[0041] The working principle of the material storage mechanism is as follows: when the storage box 2 needs to be fixed, the driving structure drives the positioning shaft 31 to be inserted into the corresponding positioning hole 21, and the relative position of the storage rack 1 and the storage box 2 can be limited by the positioning shaft 31; when the storage box 2 needs to be moved, the driving structure drives the positioning shaft 31 to move out of the corresponding positioning hole 21, thereby releasing the restriction on the relative position of the storage rack 1 and the storage box 2, so that the storage box 2 can be moved at will.

[0042] Compared with the traditional method of fixing the storage box 2 with bolts, the material storage mechanism provided in the present application can automatically lock the position of the storage box 2 and can automatically unlock the position of the storage box 2 without the need for manual disassembly and assembly of bolts, thereby reducing manual labor and improving production efficiency.

[0043] It should be noted that the number of material storage boxes 2 can be one or more, and accordingly, the number of positioning components 3 can be one or more. In this embodiment, the number of material storage boxes 2 is two. This arrangement allows the two material storage boxes 2 to be refilled alternately, avoiding the problem of production line shutdown due to refilling, and allowing the production line to operate continuously.

[0044] In order to further enhance the degree of automation of the mechanism, a proximity switch is provided on the storage rack 1 for detecting whether the storage box 2 is in place, and the proximity switch is linked with the drive structure. When the proximity switch detects that the storage box 2 is in place, the drive structure drives the positioning shaft 31 to insert into the corresponding positioning hole 21.

[0045] Optionally, the proximity switch is a photoelectric sensor or a Hall sensor. When the proximity switch is a Hall sensor, the storage box 2 is provided with a magnet for cooperating with the Hall sensor for detection.

[0046] Reference Figure 3 , the driving structure includes a spring 32 and an electromagnet 33, wherein:

[0047] The spring 32 is used to provide an elastic force to drive the positioning shaft 31 to move in a direction close to the corresponding positioning hole 21;

[0048] The electromagnet 33 is used to provide a magnetic attraction force to drive the positioning shaft 31 to move in a direction away from the corresponding positioning hole 21 .

[0049] When the electromagnet 33 is in the power-off state, the positioning shaft 31 is inserted into the corresponding positioning hole 21 under the elastic force of the spring 32; when the electromagnet 33 is in the power-on state, the positioning shaft 31 overcomes the elastic force of the spring 32 under the magnetic attraction of the electromagnet 33 and moves out of the corresponding positioning hole 21.

[0050] In this embodiment, the electromagnet 33 is coupled to the aforementioned proximity switch. When the material storage bin 2 needs to be moved, the electromagnet 33 is energized, causing the positioning shaft 31 to move out of the corresponding positioning hole 21. When the material storage bin 2 is finished refilling and moved back to the designated position, the proximity switch is triggered, de-energizing the electromagnet 33 and causing the spring 32 to insert the positioning shaft 31 into the corresponding positioning hole 21.

[0051] Continue to refer to Figure 3 Each positioning assembly 3 also includes a mounting shell 34 fixed on the storage rack 1; a driving structure is arranged in the mounting shell 34; one end of the positioning shaft 31 is located in the mounting shell 34 and connected to the driving structure, and the other end thereof extends from the mounting shell 34.

[0052] Specifically, the storage rack 1 includes a base and a plurality of columns supporting the base; the mounting shell 34 is a shell structure with an opening, and the open end of the mounting shell 34 is fixed to the lower end surface of the base by fasteners such as screws; after the positioning component 3 is installed, the mounting shell 34 and the base are surrounded to form a cavity, and the spring 32 and the electromagnet 33 are arranged in the cavity, the lower end of the positioning shaft 31 is located in the cavity, and the upper end of the positioning shaft 31 extends from the cavity.

[0053] Furthermore, an annular limiting groove 341 is provided in the mounting shell 34 , the electromagnet 33 is provided in the annular limiting groove 341 , and the spring 32 is located at the center of the annular limiting groove 341 .

[0054] In this embodiment, the electromagnet 33 is annular and conforms to the shape of the annular retaining groove 341. The electromagnet 33 is disposed within the annular retaining groove 341 and secured thereto by screws or other fasteners. The spring 32 is located within the inner ring of the electromagnet 33. This arrangement not only fully utilizes the inner ring space of the electromagnet 33, making the overall structure of the positioning assembly 3 compact but also provides a position limit for the spring 32 and electromagnet 33, making the overall structure more stable and reliable.

[0055] Based on the above structure, one end of the positioning shaft 31 located in the mounting shell 34 is provided with a shaft shoulder 311 , and both ends of the spring 32 respectively abut against the inner bottom surface of the mounting shell 34 and the shaft shoulder 311 ; the electromagnet 33 is arranged opposite to the shaft shoulder 311 .

[0056] When the electromagnet 33 is in the power-off state, the shoulder 311 abuts against the base of the storage rack 1 under the thrust of the spring 32, the upper end of the positioning shaft 31 is inserted into the corresponding positioning hole 21, and the electromagnet 33 and the shoulder 311 are spaced apart; when the electromagnet 33 is in the power-on state, the magnetic attraction force generated by the electromagnet 33 on the shoulder 311 drives the positioning shaft 31 to move out of the corresponding positioning hole 21 to release the lock on the position of the storage box 2.

[0057] Reference Figure 4 The opening end of the mounting shell 34 is provided with a flange plate, and the flange plate is provided with a through hole for passing the bolt. The mounting shell 34 is fixed to the lower end surface of the base through the flange plate and the bolts.

[0058] Reference Figure 5 , the material storage mechanism further includes a plurality of guide assemblies 4, and the guide assemblies 4 correspond one to one with the storage boxes 2;

[0059] Each guide assembly 4 includes a slide rail 41 and a slider 42 slidably mounted on the slide rail 41 , wherein the slide rail 41 is fixed to the upper end surface of the storage rack 1 , and the slider 42 is fixed to the bottom of the corresponding storage box 2 .

[0060] The above arrangement enables the material storage box 2 to be slidably mounted on the material storage rack 1. When refilling is needed, the staff can pull the material storage box 2 along the extending direction of the slide rail 41 without having to carry the material storage box 2, thereby improving the convenience of refilling.

[0061] Furthermore, each guide assembly 4 further includes a stopper 43 provided at one end of the slide rail 41. When the storage box 2 moves to abut against the stopper 43, it indicates that the storage box 2 is in place; at this time, the proximity switch is triggered, and then the electromagnet 33 is de-energized, and the positioning shaft 31 is inserted into the corresponding positioning hole 21 under the thrust of the spring 32 to lock the position of the storage box 2.

[0062] Continue to refer to Figure 5 In this embodiment, each storage box 2 is provided with a handle 24, which makes it convenient for the staff to pull the storage box 2.

[0063] A second embodiment of the present invention provides a device for loading and unloading auxiliary materials for battery cell packaging, comprising the material storage mechanism described in any of the above embodiments. Therefore, the device has at least all the technical effects of the material storage mechanism described above, and no further details are given here.

[0064] In the battery cell packaging auxiliary material loading and unloading device, each storage box 2 has multiple accommodating cavities, which are divided into several first accommodating cavities 22 for storing sulfur-free paper and several second accommodating cavities 23 for storing hollow boards.

[0065] Among them, sulfur-free paper is used to isolate the influence of air on the battery cells, and the hollow board is used to protect the battery cells from being damaged.

[0066] In this embodiment, the number of first accommodating cavities 22 is smaller than the number of second accommodating cavities 23. This arrangement can compensate for the thickness difference between the sulfur-free paper and the hollow board, so that the reserves of the sulfur-free paper and the hollow board in the storage box 2 are roughly equal, so that the sulfur-free paper and the hollow board are used up at the same time, avoiding frequent refilling by staff and reducing manual labor.

[0067] Furthermore, the battery cell packaging material retrieval and placement device also includes a material transfer mechanism, which includes a suction cup and a transfer assembly for driving the suction cup within a space. During operation, the transfer assembly can drive the suction cup to move between the material storage box 2 and the material placement station. The suction cup can absorb the material in the material storage box 2 and place it in the battery cell material box on the material placement station, thus realizing the automatic retrieval and placement of battery cell packaging materials.

[0068] Finally, it should be noted that 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 replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
