[0007] Furthermore, the lower part of the tensioning core shaft is a combination of an upper truncated cone and a lower inverted cone, the minimum diameter of the inverted cone is smaller than the inner ring of the sealing ring, and the straight section of the upper truncated cone is larger than the inner ring of the sealing ring.

[0008] Furthermore, each tensioning unit also includes a thrust block, which is fixed under the bottom pressure plate and has a center hole concentric with the through hole on the bottom pressure plate; the lower part of the tensioning core shaft passes through the through hole of the bottom pressure plate and the center hole of the thrust block; the center hole of the thrust block is larger than the diameter of the tensioning core shaft and smaller than the outer circle of the sealing ring.

[0017] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0018] Example 1

[0019] from Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 It can be seen that the utility model provides a material taking and discharging mechanism for a sealing ring, which includes a support column 1, a translation component 2, a lifting component 3, and a material taking and discharging component 4; the support column 1 is fixed on the foundation, the translation component 2 is fixed on the top of the support column 1, the lifting component 3 is connected to one end of the translation component 2, and the material taking and discharging component 4 is connected to the bottom of the lifting component 3.

[0020] The utility model adopts a material taking and discharging mechanism: the translation component 2 realizes the switching between the material taking station and the material discharging station, the lifting component 3 realizes the approach and distance from the material taking station or the material discharging station, and the material taking and discharging component 4 realizes the taking and discharging of the sealing ring.

[0021] The taking and discharging mechanism of the utility model first reliably takes the sealing ring, and then when discharging it, the sealing ring is accurately put on the pole in the battery cover to complete the assembly of the two, thereby realizing the full automation of taking and discharging the sealing ring, effectively improving the efficiency of taking and discharging the sealing ring of the new energy battery cover, greatly reducing labor costs, and providing efficient and stable support for the fully automated production of battery cover assembly.

[0022] Example 2

[0023] from Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3、 Figure 4 It can be seen that the material picking and discharging mechanism of the present invention: the lifting component 3 includes a lifting cylinder 31, a top plate 32, an upper connecting plate 33, two symmetrically arranged front and rear guide shafts 34, and two front and rear linear bearings I 35; the top plate 32, the lifting cylinder 31, and the upper connecting plate 33 are arranged at the top, middle, and bottom, the lifting cylinder 31 is fixed on the upper connecting plate 33, and its rod end is connected to the bottom of the top plate 32, the upper part of the guide shaft 34 is connected to the top plate 32, the middle part passes through the upper connecting plate 33, and the lower part is connected to the material picking and discharging component 4, and a linear bearing I 35 is arranged between the guide shaft 34 and the upper connecting plate 33.

[0024] The working principle of the lifting component 3: the lifting cylinder 31 works, and its rod end drives the top plate 32 to move up and down, so that the guide shaft 34 drives the lower picking and unloading component 4 to move up and down along the linear bearing I 35, so that the picking and unloading component 4 moves to a suitable position above the sealing ring picking and unloading station, which is convenient for the later picking and unloading of the sealing ring.

[0025] Example 3

[0026] from Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 It can be seen that the material picking and discharging mechanism of the present invention: the material picking and discharging component 4 includes a material picking and discharging cylinder 40, a cylinder mounting plate 41, a bottom pressure plate 42, a cylinder connecting plate 43, an intermediate plate 44, two front and rear linear bearings Ⅱ 47, and multiple tensioning units, each tensioning unit includes a tensioning core shaft 45; the intermediate plate 44 and the bottom pressure plate 42 are arranged up and down, the guide shaft 34 passes through the intermediate plate 44 and is connected to the bottom pressure plate 42, a linear bearing Ⅱ 47 is arranged between the guide shaft 34 and the intermediate plate 44, the material picking and discharging cylinder 40 is fixed on the cylinder mounting plate 41, and the cylinder mounting plate 41 is fixed to the side of the bottom pressure plate 42, the rod end of the material picking and discharging cylinder 40 is connected to the cylinder connecting plate 43, and the cylinder connecting plate 43 is connected to the intermediate plate 44; the upper part of the tensioning core shaft 45 is connected to the intermediate plate 44, and the lower part passes through the through hole of the bottom pressure plate 42.

[0027] The working principle of the material handling component 4 is as follows: When the material handling cylinder 40 is in operation, its rod end drives the intermediate plate 44 up and down along the guide shaft 34 through the cylinder connecting plate 43, thereby raising or lowering the tensioning mandrel 45 to remove or discharge the sealing ring. The diameter of the hole in the bottom pressure plate 42 is larger than that of the tensioning mandrel 45 to prevent wear of the tensioning mandrel 45.

[0028] Each tensioning mandrel can take and place a sealing ring, and the number of tensioning units is determined according to actual needs, so that multiple sealing rings can be taken and placed at one time.

[0029] Example 4

[0030] from Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 It can be seen that the material taking and discharging mechanism of the present invention: the lower part of the tensioning core shaft 45 is a combination of an upper truncated cone and a lower inverted cone, the minimum diameter of the inverted cone is smaller than the inner ring of the sealing ring, and the straight section of the upper truncated cone is larger than the inner ring of the sealing ring.

[0031] When the tensioning mandrel 45 moves downward, its inverted cone can easily enter the inner ring of the sealing ring on the material-retrieving station and tighten its inner hole to complete the material-retrieving; when the tensioning mandrel 45 moves upward, when the sealing ring is blocked by the bottom pressure plate 42, the sealing ring can easily fall from the inverted cone to the pole located on the material-retrieving station to complete the assembly of the sealing ring and the pole.

[0032] Example 5

[0033] from Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 It can be seen that the material taking and discharging mechanism of the present invention: each tensioning unit also includes a thrust block 46, which is fixed under the bottom pressure plate 42, and its center hole is concentric with the through hole on the bottom pressure plate 42; the lower part of the tensioning core shaft 45 passes through the through hole of the bottom pressure plate 42 and the center hole of the thrust block 46; the center hole of the thrust block 46 is larger than the diameter of the tensioning core shaft 45 and smaller than the outer circle of the sealing ring.

[0034] Since the bottom pressure plate 42 needs to be connected to the guide shaft 34 and the cylinder mounting plate 41, its material is relatively hard and will be damaged when the sealing ring contacts it during material discharge. Therefore, a thrust block 46 made of a relatively soft material is added under the bottom pressure plate 42 to protect the sealing ring.

[0035] When the mechanism is performing sealing ring material picking, the picking and unloading cylinder 40 descends, the bottom of the tightening mandrel 45 extends out of the thrust block 46 and then enters the lower sealing ring hole to tighten the inner ring to complete the picking; when the mechanism is performing sealing ring material unloading, the picking and unloading cylinder 40 rises, the tightening mandrel 45 retracts upward until the sealing ring is blocked by the thrust block 46 and disengaged from the tightening mandrel 45, so that the sealing ring is put on the pole in the battery cover to complete the assembly of the two; that is, the positioning and grabbing of the soft material of the sealing ring is achieved by inserting the tightening mandrel 45 into the inner hole of the sealing ring.

[0036] Among them, the center hole of the thrust block 46 is larger than the diameter of the tensioning core shaft 45 to prevent the tensioning core shaft 45 from wearing; the center hole of the thrust block 46 is smaller than the outer circle of the sealing ring to prevent the sealing ring from entering the center hole of the thrust block 46 along with the tensioning core shaft 45 and failing to discharge the material.

[0037] Example 6

[0038] from Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 It can be seen that the material picking and discharging mechanism of the present invention: the translation component 2 includes a translation cylinder 21, a connecting plate 22, a floating joint 23, and a guide rail 24; the connecting plate 22 is fixed on the support column 1, the guide rail 24 is fixed on the upper connecting plate 22, and the guide block at the lower part of the upper connecting plate 33 is connected to the guide rail 24; the translation cylinder 21 is fixed to one end of the upper connecting plate 21, and it and the lifting component 3 are respectively located at both ends of the support column 1; the floating joint 23 is fixed to the side of the upper connecting plate 33, and is connected to the rod end of the translation cylinder 21.

[0039] Working principle of the translation component: When the translation cylinder 21 works, it drives the upper connecting plate 33 to move left and right along the guide rail 24 through the floating joint 23, thereby driving the lifting component 3 and the material taking and discharging component 4 to move left and right.

[0040] Example 7

[0041] from Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 It can be seen that the material taking and discharging mechanism: the translation component 2 also includes a plurality of buffer blocks 25, and the buffer blocks 25 are fixed on the connecting plate 22 and are respectively located on the left and right sides of the connecting plate 33.

[0042] When the translation cylinder 21 drives the connecting plate 33 to move left and right, the buffer block 25 is used for buffering and limiting.

[0043] The working principle of the material picking and discharging mechanism of the present invention is as follows: the translation cylinder 21 drives the lifting component 3 and the material picking and discharging component 4 to move to the material picking station or the upper part of the material discharging station; the lifting cylinder 31 drives the material picking and discharging component 4 to move up and down so that the tensioning core shaft 45 leaves or approaches the sealing ring; when the mechanism is picking up the sealing ring, the material picking and discharging cylinder 40 drives the tensioning core shaft 45 to descend, and when the bottom of the tensioning core shaft 45 extends out of the thrust block 46 and enters the sealing ring hole at the lower part to tighten the inner ring to complete the material picking; when the mechanism is discharging the sealing ring, the material picking and discharging cylinder 40 drives the tensioning core shaft 45 to rise, and when the bottom of the tensioning core shaft 45 retracts upward until the sealing ring is blocked by the thrust block 46 and disengaged from the tensioning core shaft 45, the material discharging is completed, so that the sealing ring is sleeved on the pole in the battery cover to complete the assembly of the two.

[0044] The advantages of the sealing ring taking and discharging mechanism of the present invention are as follows: 1. The online assembly of the sealing ring, i.e., the full automation of the sealing ring taking and discharging, is realized by the cooperation of the translation component, the lifting component and the taking and discharging component: when the mechanism is taking the sealing ring, the taking and discharging cylinder 40 descends, the bottom of the tensioning mandrel 45 extends out of the thrust block 46 and then enters the sealing ring hole at the lower part to tighten the inner ring to complete the taking of the material; when the mechanism is discharging the sealing ring, the taking and discharging cylinder 40 rises, the tensioning mandrel 45 retracts upward until the sealing ring is blocked by the thrust block 46 and is disengaged from the tensioning mandrel 45 That is, the inner hole of the sealing ring is positioned by the tightening core shaft 45, and the material is first reliably taken out and then accurately placed on the pole, thereby completing the assembly between the sealing ring and the pole; second, the number of tightening core shafts determines the number of sealing rings to be taken out and placed at one time, and the taking and placing cylinder drives multiple tightening core shafts up and down, so that multiple sealing rings can be taken out and placed at one time; third, it effectively improves the efficiency of taking and placing the sealing ring, and can be carried out simultaneously with other early assembly processes of the battery cover, thereby shortening the assembly time of the battery cover.

[0045] In short, the material taking and discharging mechanism of the utility model realizes the full automation of the sealing ring taking and discharging, and can assemble at least five groups of sealing rings at the same time, which greatly improves the assembly efficiency of the sealing rings, reduces manual workload, and provides efficient and stable support for the fully automated production of battery cover assembly.
