Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of battery production, in particular to a coding device for batteries. Background Art

[0002] After the lead-acid battery is produced, it is necessary to use an inkjet printer to print the production date, place of origin and specifications of the lead-acid battery.

[0003] Patent publication number CN213443447U discloses a carton coding device for battery production. By using a printer to code the cartons, this replaces manual labeling, reduces errors, reduces worker workload, and improves battery production efficiency. During operation, a motor drives a stop bar downward until it reaches a stopper. After the cartons on the conveyor are conveyed to the bottom of the workbench, the stop bar limits the carton's position. A distance sensor senses the distance between the mounting plate and the carton and transmits the received data to a controller. The controller controls the motorized telescopic rod to extend downward, bringing the distance between the printer and the carton to the printer's effective operating distance. The controller activates the printer. After coding is complete, the motor drives the stop bar upward, and the conveyor conveys the carton. The conveyor stops while the printer is operating. This printer prints lead-acid battery information onto the top of the carton. When multiple cartons containing different battery models are stacked, it can be difficult to view the battery information in the lower cartons. At the same time, when dirt or impurities appear in the coding area on the carton, the dirt and impurities on the carton can easily cause unclear coding.

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical issues, patent publication CN220883812U discloses an inkjet printer for lead-acid batteries. During operation, as cartons containing lead-acid batteries are transported between the straight sections of two guide plates, a cotton cloth strip wipes the inkjet printing area of ​​the carton, removing dust or impurities and ensuring the clarity of the battery information after printing. When a photoelectric sensor detects a carton containing lead-acid batteries, it signals a controller, which shuts off the drive motor of the conveyor chain. The controller then activates the inkjet printer and prints the battery information onto the carton. Upon completion, the printer sends a feedback signal to the controller, which, upon receiving the feedback signal, restarts the drive motor of the conveyor chain, continuing to transport the coded carton to the left. During battery printing, the area where the battery is printed is also wiped to improve code clarity. However, the cotton strip needs to be replaced after wiping multiple batteries. The cotton strip of the device is toward the middle of the transmission plate chain, which is inconvenient to replace the cotton strip. The cotton strip is easily misplaced during replacement.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0028] Example 1: Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, a coding device for batteries includes a frame 1, a conveyor plate chain 2 is installed on the frame 1, and two front-to-back symmetrical guide plates 3 are fixed on the frame 1. The left side of the guide plate 3 is inclined toward the outside of the frame 1 to form an inclined section, and the right side of the guide plate 3 is a straight section. The length direction of the straight section of the guide plate 3 is parallel to the conveying direction of the conveyor plate chain 2.

[0029] A groove 16 is provided on the straight section of any guide plate 3 , in which a rotating rod 6 is provided. The rotating rod 6 is rotatably provided in the groove 16 via a rotating shaft 15 . A positioning assembly is provided in the groove 16 , which positions the rotating rod 6 via the rotating shaft 15 .

[0030] The positioning assembly includes a fixed plate 7 fixed in a groove 16. The fixed plate 7 is located below a rotating shaft 15. The rotating shaft 15 is rotatably connected to the guide plate 3. The rotating shaft 15 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 6. A pin 8 extends through a through-hole in the rotating shaft 15 and an opening in the fixed plate 7. The rotating rod 6 is concentric with the rotating shaft 15, and the axial direction of the rotating rod 6 is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the straight section of the guide plate 3.

[0031] One end of the rotating rod 6 toward the middle position of the conveyor plate chain 2 and the other end away from the middle position of the conveyor plate chain 2 are elastically slidably connected with a wiping assembly. The end of the wiping assembly away from the rotating rod 6 protrudes to the outside of the groove 16. When the battery passes through the straight sections of the two guide plates 3, the wiping assembly toward the middle position of the conveyor plate chain 2 can wipe the battery.

[0032] The wiping assembly includes a push rod 11, the length direction of which is parallel to the axial direction of the rotating rod 6. A plurality of polished rods 9 are fixed to one end of the push rod 11 facing the rotating rod 6. The polished rods 9 are slidably connected to the rotating rod 6, and the axial direction of the polished rods 9 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotating rod 6. The push rod 11 is connected to the rotating rod 6 by a spring 10.

[0033] The end of the top rod 11 facing away from the rotating rod 6 is provided with a mounting groove, and a cotton strip 12 is detachably fixedly connected to the mounting groove. The end of the cotton strip 12 facing away from the rotating rod 6 is flush with the end of the top rod 11 facing away from the rotating rod 6. The end of the cotton strip 12 facing away from the rotating rod 6 is the wiping end. Specifically, a sub-velcro is fixed in the mounting groove, and a parent Velcro is fixed to the end of the cotton strip 12 facing the sub-velcro. The parent Velcro on the cotton strip 12 is bonded to the sub-velcro in the mounting groove. The cotton strip 12 is located in the mounting groove, and the stability of the cotton strip 12 can be improved when wiping the battery.

[0034] The left end of the push rod 11 is processed with a guiding inclined surface, and the end of the push rod 11 facing away from the rotating rod 6 protrudes to the outside of the groove 16.

[0035] A photoelectric sensor 5 and a spray terminal 4 are fixed to one side of the frame 1. The photoelectric sensor 5, the spray terminal 4, and the guide plate 3 with a groove 16 are arranged on the same side, and the spray terminal 4 is located between the photoelectric sensor 5 and the guide plate 3 with the groove 16. The photoelectric sensor 5, the spray terminal 4, the controller, and the drive motor that drives the conveyor chain 2 are electrically connected.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the batteries are transported to the right on the conveyor plate chain 2 . Under the guidance of the inclined sections of the two guide plates 3 , the batteries on the conveyor plate chain 2 can pass between the straight sections of the two guide plates 3 .

[0037] As the battery moves between the straight sections of the two guide plates 3, it contacts the guide slope of the top rod 11 near the middle of the conveyor chain 2. As the battery continues to move to the right, the top plate near the middle of the conveyor chain 2 moves toward the rotating rod 6 under the guidance of the guide slope, and the spring 10 near the middle of the conveyor chain 2 is compressed. The battery then contacts the cotton strip 12 near the middle of the conveyor chain 2, which can wipe the front end of the battery.

[0038] When the battery moves between the straight sections of the two guide plates 3, the push rod 11 is squeezed by the battery. Under the action of the spring 10, the cotton strip 12 near the middle position of the conveyor plate chain 2 increases the pressure on the battery, thereby improving the wiping effect on the front end of the battery.

[0039] After passing between the straight sections of the two guide plates 3, the battery continues to move to the right. When the photoelectric sensor 5 detects the battery, it sends a signal to the controller, which shuts off the drive motor driving the conveyor chain 2 and activates the spraying station 4. The spraying station 4 sprays the code onto the wiped area on the front face of the battery, ensuring the clarity of the code. After the spraying station is completed, the controller resumes the drive motor driving the conveyor chain 2, and the battery continues to move to the right.

[0040] When the cotton strips 12 need to be replaced, pull out the pin 8, and then rotate the rotating rod 6 and the rotating shaft 15 180 degrees, thereby reversing the positions of the two cotton strips 12. Then insert the pin 8 through the through-hole on the rotating shaft 15 and the opening on the fixed plate 7. At this time, the cotton strip 12 near the middle position of the conveyor plate chain 2 continues to wipe the front end of the battery. The used cotton strip 12 is away from the middle position of the conveyor plate chain 2. The used cotton strip 12 can be disassembled and replaced. When replacing the used cotton strip 12, the used cotton strip 12 faces the outside of the frame 1, so it is convenient to replace the used cotton strip 12.

[0041] Example 2: Based on Example 1, refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the straight section of the guide plate 3 with the groove 16 is provided with a long groove 14 at one end away from the middle position of the conveyor plate chain 2. The length direction of the long groove 14 is parallel to the conveying direction of the conveyor plate chain 2. A slide plate 13 is slidingly arranged in the long groove 14. The slide plate 13 includes a vertical portion and a straight section. The straight section of the slide plate 13 is slidably engaged in the long groove 14, and the vertical portion of the slide plate 13 contacts the wiping end of the cotton cloth strip 12 away from the middle position of the conveyor plate chain 2.

[0042] After the cotton cloth strip 12 away from the middle position of the conveyor plate chain 2 is replaced, the vertical part of the slide plate 13 can block the wiping end of the cotton cloth strip 12 away from the middle position of the conveyor plate chain 2, thereby preventing dust from accumulating on the wiping end of the cotton cloth strip 12 away from the middle position of the conveyor plate chain 2.

[0043] The slide plate 13 can slide along the length direction of the long slot 14 . After the slide plate 13 is misaligned with the push rod 11 on one side thereof, it is convenient to rotate the rotating shaft 15 , the rotating rod 6 and the wiping assembly.

[0044] 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.
