[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0023] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the utility model proposes a dynamic barcode scanning device for battery cells, including a frame 3, wherein the frame 3 includes a bottom plate 2 and side plates 1 oppositely arranged on both sides of the bottom plate 2, and the battery cells 8 pass between the two side plates 1. The entire frame 3 can be divided into three stations, namely the loading position a, the positioning and rotation station b, and the unloading position c. Specifically, a support portion 24 is provided on the opposite side of the side plate 1 at the loading position a, and the support portion 24 is used to place the battery cells 8, and a side push cylinder 25 is provided on one side plate 1, and the output end of the side push cylinder 25 is connected to a push block 26. The side push cylinder 25 is used to push the placed battery cells 8 to make their ends flush for subsequent transportation and scanning.

[0024] The transportation of the battery cell 8 is achieved by a jacking assembly slidably connected to the frame 3, which is slidably connected to the frame 3 and can move along the length direction of the frame 3. A fixed plate 7 is provided at the bottom of the jacking cylinder 5, and a slider 13 is provided on the fixed plate 7. A slide rail 14 is provided on the bottom plate 2 or the side plate 1. In this embodiment, the slide rail 14 is provided on the bottom plate 2, and the slider 13 is clamped on the slide rail 14. A push plate 15 is connected to the fixed plate 7, and a long slot 16 is horizontally provided on the side plate 1. The push plate 15 passes through the long slot 16 of the side plate 1, and one end of the push plate 15 passing through the long slot 16 is connected to a pushing device. The pushing device can be a cylinder, which pulls the push plate 15 along the long slot 16 to move, thereby driving the entire jacking assembly to move in the frame 3, that is, from the upper material position a to the positioning rotation position b to the lower material position c. Position sensors 4 are provided on both sides of the bottom plate 2 and at the end of the long slot 16 to sense whether the jacking assembly has moved into place.

[0025] like Figure 3As shown, the lifting assembly includes a lifting cylinder 5, the output end of which is fixed to the battery support frame 9. When the lifting cylinder 5 is lifted, the battery cell 8 on the battery support frame 9 is separated from the support portion 24 of the loading position a to facilitate the movement of the battery cell 8. The battery support frame 9 is a plate with a certain length. The plate is provided with a plurality of arc-shaped placement grooves 12a and arc-shaped placement grooves 12b. The battery support frame 9 is between the two side plates 1. The arc-shaped placement grooves 12b and the arc-shaped placement grooves 12b have 4-5 grooves for placing the battery cell 8. Figure 4 As shown, in the initial state, one group of arc-shaped placement slots 12a of the battery support frame 9 is on the loading position a, while another group of arc-shaped placement slots 12b is on the positioning and rotating station b. When loading is achieved, the code is scanned and then moved. After the code is scanned, the battery cell 8 on the arc-shaped placement slot 12a moves to the positioning and rotating station b, and the battery cell 8 in the original arc-shaped placement slot 12b moves to the unloading position c for unloading. Subsequently, the arc-shaped placement slot 12a returns to the loading position a again, and the arc-shaped placement slot 12b returns to the positioning and rotating station b, and the above action is repeated, thereby realizing reciprocating transportation and code scanning. In order to ensure the stability of the lifting and lowering of the battery support frame 9, guide columns 6 are provided at both ends of the fixed plate 7. The output end of the guide column 6 is connected to the bottom of the battery support frame 9. The longer plate body is supported by the guide column 6 to improve stability.

[0026] The dynamic code scanning is achieved by the positioning and rotating assembly, and the upper part of the positioning and rotating assembly is provided with a code scanning device (not shown in the figure). Specifically, the positioning and rotating assembly includes a positioning roller group 11 located on one side of the frame 3, and a battery cell adsorption assembly 10 is provided on the inner side of the frame 3 on the opposite side of the positioning roller group 11. The positioning roller group 11 includes a plurality of arranged rollers, and the end of the battery cell 8 can be pressed on the adjacent rollers. The battery cell adsorption assembly 10 can be an electromagnetic suction head or a vacuum suction head, and corresponds to between two rollers. In the transporting state, the battery cell support frame 9 of the transporting assembly is higher than the positioning roller group 11. When it arrives at the positioning and rotating station b for code scanning, the lifting cylinder 5 contracts, and the battery cell 8 drops onto the roller, and the other end of the battery cell 8 corresponds to the battery cell adsorption assembly 10 and is adsorbed and fixed. It is then driven to rotate synchronously by a linkage drive device connected to the end of the battery cell adsorption assembly 10. The linkage drive device includes a drive motor 17, a The mounting plate 18 on the side panel 1 and the synchronous gear 19 connected to the end of the battery cell adsorption assembly 10, the battery cell adsorption assembly 10 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 18 and the adsorption end passes through a side panel 1, the output end of the drive motor 17 is connected to a drive wheel 21, and a synchronous belt 20 is wound around the drive wheel 21 and the synchronous gear 19, and a plurality of pressure wheels 23 and a tensioning wheel 22 are provided on the mounting plate 18, the pressure wheel 23 is located on the upper part of two adjacent pressure wheels 23 and pressed on the synchronous belt 20, and the tensioning wheel 22 is used to tension the synchronous belt 20, and the driving motor 17 rotates, driving the synchronous belt 20 to rotate, and then driving the synchronous gear 19 to rotate at the same time, and the battery cell adsorption assembly 10 coaxially connected to the synchronous gear 19 also rotates, and a bearing can be set between the rotating shaft of the battery cell adsorption assembly 10 and the side panel 1. During the continuous rotation process, the upper code scanning device can fully scan the side wall of the battery cell 8 to ensure the scanning of the QR code.

[0027] After the code scanning is completed, the battery cell adsorption component 10 releases the battery cell 8, and the rear jacking cylinder 5 extends, driving the battery cell 8 that has completed the code scanning to be lifted up to be free from the support of the positioning rotating component. At that time, the pushing plate 15 is driven to move toward the direction close to the unloading position C, that is, the battery cell support frame 9 drives the battery cell 9 to move toward the unloading position C, until the arc placement groove 12 carrying the battery cell 8 that has completed the code scanning is located at the unloading position C, and another group of arc placement grooves 12 carrying the battery cell 8 that has not been scanned is located at the positioning rotating station b. The unloading position C is provided with an inclined unloading plate 27, and the unloading plate 27 is provided with a square opening 28. After the battery cell support frame 9 moves, it extends into the square opening 28. The length of the square opening 28 along the conveying direction of the battery cell 8 can cover the length of a group of arc placement grooves 12 along the conveying direction of the battery cell 8. The lifting component is contracted, so that the battery cell 8 is pressed on the unloading plate 27, and is freed from the support of the battery cell support frame 9, and rolls down along the inclined unloading plate 27. At the same time, the battery cell at the positioning and rotating station b is also released from the support of the battery cell support frame 9, supported and fixed by the battery cell adsorption assembly 10 and the positioning roller assembly 11, and the code scanning is completed. At the loading station a, the battery cell 8 is also loaded and aligned accordingly, and each process proceeds in a coordinated and orderly manner. The battery cell support frame 9 then returns to its original position, and the above operation is repeated to complete the transfer of the battery cell 8.
