At the same time, the structure of the device is simpler, which is convenient for miniaturization design.

[0032] In order to better understand the technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present disclosure, the present disclosure is further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments:

[0033] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a guiding and conveying device 10 for laying down cylindrical batteries in one embodiment includes a mounting platform 100, a vertical conveying mechanism 200, a laying down mechanism 300 and a horizontal conveying rack 400, wherein the vertical conveying mechanism 200 includes a vertical conveying rack 210, a driving member 220 and a rotating tray 230, wherein the vertical conveying rack 210 is mounted on the mounting platform 100, and the vertical conveying rack 210 is provided with a first conveyor belt 211, the driving member 220 is connected to the mounting platform 100, and the power output end of the driving member 220 is connected to the rotating tray 230, and the rotating tray 230 is provided with an embedding groove 231, and when the rotating tray 230 rotates, the embedding groove 231 is communicated with the conveying channel of the vertical conveying rack 210, so that the battery enters the embedding groove 231.

[0034] Furthermore, the tilting mechanism 300 includes a bracket 310 and a tilting cylinder 320, the bracket 310 is installed on the mounting platform 100, the bracket 310 is provided with a feeding channel 311, the feeding channel 311 is used to communicate with the embedding groove 231 when the rotating tray 230 rotates a predetermined angle, one end of the tilting cylinder 320 is connected to the bracket 310, the tilting cylinder 320 is provided with a guide arc groove 321, the guide arc groove 321 is connected to the feeding channel 311, the notch of the guide arc groove 321 is distributed in the direction away from the rotating tray, and the distance between the notch of the guide arc groove 321 and the mounting platform gradually decreases. Specifically, the distance between the notch of the guide arc groove 321 and the mounting platform in the vertical direction gradually becomes smaller, so that the battery rotates along the groove wall of the guide arc groove 321, so that the battery passes through the tilting cylinder 320 horizontally.

[0035] The horizontal conveyor rack 400 is connected to the other end of the laying cylinder 320. The horizontal conveyor rack 400 is provided with a second conveyor belt 410. The conveying channel of the horizontal conveyor rack 400 is connected to the second material transfer channel so that the batteries entering the horizontal conveyor rack 400 are conveyed to the next workstation by the second conveyor belt 410.

[0036] In this embodiment, the processed batteries are transported by the vertical conveyor frame 210, and the driving member 220 drives the rotating tray 230 to rotate so that the embedding groove 231 is connected to the conveying channel of the vertical conveyor frame 210. At this time, the first conveyor belt 211 conveys the battery into the embedding groove 231. The driving member 220 continues to rotate so that the embedding groove 231 is connected to the feeding channel 311 of the bracket 310. At this time, the battery in the embedding groove 231 is separated from the embedding groove 231 due to centrifugal force and enters the feeding channel 311. The battery in the feeding channel 311 is pushed into the guide arc groove 321 by the subsequent battery. At this time, the end of the battery in the second feeding channel is clamped in the guide arc groove 321. When the battery moves along the second feeding channel, the battery rotates along the groove wall of the guide arc groove 321, so that the battery changes from a vertical direction to a horizontal direction, realizing the operation of laying the battery down to facilitate the subsequent inspection and packaging process. Further, the driving member 220 can be a cylinder or a motor.

[0037] The above-mentioned guiding conveying device 10 for laying down cylindrical batteries, the vertical conveying rack 210 is used to convey the batteries. At this time, the batteries are transmitted in the vertical direction, and the driving member 220 drives the rotating tray 230 to rotate, so that the embedding groove 231 on the rotating tray 230 is connected with the channel on the vertical conveying rack 210. After the rotating tray 230 continues to rotate, the embedding groove 231 is connected with the feeding channel 311 of the bracket 310. At this time, the battery in the embedding groove 231 enters the feeding channel 311 and enters the guide arc groove 321 under the pushing action of subsequent batteries. Since the end of the battery is clamped in the guide arc groove 321, the battery rotates along the groove wall of the guide arc groove 321 under the action of the thrust, so that the battery becomes horizontally placed when it leaves the guide arc groove 321 and enters the horizontal conveying rack 400. In this way, the vertically conveyed batteries are converted into horizontal transmission, and the device does not need to be installed with a flipping robot, which avoids damage to the battery when the robot clamps the battery, and at the same time makes the structure of the device simpler and convenient for miniaturization design.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the guide arc groove 321 extends along the length direction of the tipping cylinder 320. In this embodiment, the guide arc groove 321 extends along the length direction of the tipping cylinder 320 so that the battery changes from a vertical direction to a horizontal direction after passing through the tipping cylinder 320.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the guide arc groove 321 extends from the top of the tilting cylinder 320 to the side wall of the tilting cylinder 320, so that the end of the battery rotates along the groove wall of the guide arc groove 321, so that the battery rotates 90° to realize the battery changing from a vertical direction to a horizontal direction.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, there are multiple embedding grooves 231, and the multiple embedding grooves 231 are spaced apart along the circumference of the rotating tray 230. It can be understood that there are multiple embedding grooves 231, and each embedding groove 231 corresponds to a battery. When the rotating tray 230 rotates one cycle, that is, after rotating 360 degrees, multiple batteries correspondingly enter the feeding channel 311 of the bracket 310, thereby improving the battery conveying efficiency.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, there are two tipping mechanisms 300, and the two tipping mechanisms 300 are respectively located on both sides of the bracket 310. It can be understood that the two tipping mechanisms 300 are respectively located on both sides of the bracket 310, and the rotation periods of the two tipping mechanisms 300 are staggered, so that the two tipping mechanisms 300 can achieve uninterrupted entry of batteries into the feeding channel 311 of the bracket 310, further improving the battery conveying efficiency.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the guide conveying device further includes an anti-deflection mechanism 500, and the anti-deflection mechanism 500 includes a fixed component 510 and an anti-deflection chain 520. The fixed component 510 is installed on the horizontal conveying frame 400, and the anti-deflection chain 520 is connected to the fixed component 510. The anti-deflection chain 520 is arranged adjacent to the second feed channel so that when the battery passes through the second feed channel and enters the second conveyor belt 410, the anti-deflection chain 520 presses the battery. In this embodiment, one end of the anti-deflection chain 520 is connected to the fixed component 510, and the anti-deflection chain 520 is adjacent to the second feed channel so that the battery coming out of the second feed channel is pressed by the anti-deflection chain 520, so as to prevent the cylindrical battery coming out of the second feed channel from rolling over, thereby preventing the battery from being skewed or offset when entering the second conveyor belt 410.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, the fixing assembly 510 includes a first fixing seat 511, a second fixing seat 512, and a connecting rod 513. The first fixing seat 511 and the second fixing seat 512 are respectively mounted on both sides of the horizontal conveyor rack 400. The ends of the connecting rod 513 are respectively connected to the first fixing seat 511 and the second fixing seat 512. The anti-deflection chain 520 has a connecting hole, through which the connecting rod 513 passes. In this embodiment, the connecting rod 513 passes through the mounting holes of the first fixing seat 511 and the second fixing seat 512, respectively. The connecting rod 513 is located above the anti-deflection chain 520, so that the anti-deflection chain 520 can exert a compressive force on the batteries entering the horizontal conveyor rack 400.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the anti-deflection chain 520 includes a plurality of chain bodies 521, which are connected in sequence, and the chain bodies 521 at the ends are connected to the connecting rod 513. It can be understood that after entering the transmission channel of the horizontal support 310, the battery abuts against the plurality of chain bodies 521, so that the plurality of chain bodies 521 press and correct the battery to prevent the battery from being skewed or offset.

[0045] In one embodiment, the chain body 521 is a plastic chain. It is understood that the chain body 521 exerts a compressive force on the battery due to gravity, but the weight of the chain body 521 should not be too heavy to avoid damaging the battery or preventing the battery from being transported due to excessive pressure.

[0046] The present application also provides a battery production device, including the guiding and conveying device 10 for laying down cylindrical batteries as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0047] Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has at least the following advantages:

[0048] The above-mentioned guiding conveying device 10 for laying down cylindrical batteries, the vertical conveying rack 210 is used to convey the batteries. At this time, the batteries are transmitted in the vertical direction, and the driving member 220 drives the rotating tray 230 to rotate, so that the embedding groove 231 on the rotating tray 230 is connected with the channel on the vertical conveying rack 210. After the rotating tray 230 continues to rotate, the embedding groove 231 is connected with the feeding channel 311 of the bracket 310. At this time, the battery in the embedding groove 231 enters the feeding channel 311 and enters the guide arc groove 321 under the pushing action of subsequent batteries. Since the end of the battery is clamped in the guide arc groove 321, the battery rotates along the groove wall of the guide arc groove 321 under the action of the thrust, so that the battery becomes horizontally placed when it leaves the guide arc groove 321 and enters the horizontal conveying rack 400. In this way, the vertically conveyed batteries are converted into horizontal transmission, and the device does not need to be installed with a flipping robot, which avoids damage to the battery when the robot clamps the battery, and at the same time makes the structure of the device simpler and convenient for miniaturization design.

[0049] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present disclosure. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent.
