Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a tilting pot machine, especially to a built-in mechanical sensing device for a tilting pot machine. BACKGROUND

[0002] In a lithium battery production line, one step needs to convey the heated pot to a specified position and pour the lithium battery material in the pot. In order to improve work efficiency, an automatic tilting pot machine is designed.

[0003] However, in the existing tilting pot machine, the specific position of the pot is usually detected by a photoelectric detection mechanism arranged in the tilting pot machine. After the pot reaches the specified position, the pot is turned over. However, during the conveying of the pot, there is a lot of dust in the tilting pot machine, which will cause the photoelectric detection mechanism to malfunction, resulting in inaccurate positioning of the pot, and further causing false alarms. This will affect the turning over of the pot and delay the normal production of lithium batteries. SUMMARY

[0004] To solve the problems in the related art, the built-in mechanical sensing device for a tilting pot machine is provided, which solves the problem of large dust in the tilting pot machine affecting the accuracy of detecting the position of the workpiece and delaying the production progress.

[0005] The technical scheme is as follows:

[0006] The built-in mechanical sensing device for a tilting pot machine comprises two blocking shafts arranged in the tilting pot machine in the form of axial fixation and circumferential rotation, the two blocking shafts are arranged in a spaced manner, one end of each of the two blocking shafts extends out of the tilting pot machine, a guide wheel is connected to the upper middle part of each of the blocking shafts, the axis direction of the guide wheel is parallel to the axis direction of the blocking shaft, and the guide wheel is higher than the conveying rod in the tilting pot machine. The device further comprises two groups of detection components arranged on the outside of the tilting pot machine, the two groups of detection components are arranged on the same side, and are arranged below one end of the blocking shafts outside the tilting pot machine; one end of each of the two blocking shafts outside the tilting pot machine is fixedly connected with an oscillating arm, one side of the oscillating arm near one end of the blocking shaft is fixedly connected with a tension spring, and the other end of each of the tension springs is fixedly connected with the tilting pot machine; when the two oscillating arms rotate along the axis direction of the blocking shaft, the lower ends of the two oscillating arms are always within the detection range of the detection components.

[0007] By the above technical scheme, through the setting of the detection assembly, when the saggar collides with the guide wheel during the transmission of the saggar in the saggar turning machine, the blocking shaft will rotate, and the blocking shaft will synchronously drive the swing arm to rotate. Since the detection assembly is arranged outside the saggar turning machine, the detection assembly will not be affected by the dust in the saggar turning machine. Therefore, the detection assembly can detect the change of the position of the lower end of the swing arm in real time, thereby improving the accuracy of detecting the position of the saggar, and ensuring the normal production progress of the lithium battery.

[0008] Preferably, the two groups of detection assemblies are identical in structure, and each group of detection assemblies comprises two identical proximity switches.

[0009] Preferably, two identical first fixed rods are symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the saggar turning machine, and the two first fixed rods are arranged in an L shape. The long part of each first fixed rod is detachably connected to the saggar turning machine. The short part of each first fixed rod is hollow. A first support is inserted into the short part of each first fixed rod. Two identical proximity switch supports are arranged on the first support. Two proximity switches are arranged in the proximity switch supports in a corresponding manner. The two proximity switches are arranged on the top of the proximity switch supports.

[0010] Preferably, two identical bearing seats are arranged on the outer side of the saggar turning machine. Each bearing seat is in position correspondence with the blocking shaft. A bearing is fitted in each bearing seat. Each bearing is fitted on the outer periphery of the corresponding blocking shaft. A pressing plate is arranged on the side wall of each bearing seat away from the blocking shaft. A plurality of identical bolts are arranged on the pressing plate. Each bolt passes through the pressing plate and the bearing seat, so that the pressing plate and the bearing seat are mounted on the outer side of the saggar turning machine.

[0011] Preferably, the width of each bearing is less than the width of the corresponding bearing seat. A sealing ring is arranged on one side of each bearing close to the blocking shaft. The inner wall surface of each sealing ring is adapted to the outer periphery of the corresponding blocking shaft. The outer periphery of each sealing ring is adapted to the corresponding bearing seat.

[0012] Preferably, each swing arm comprises an integral connecting ring and a swing plate. Each connecting ring is fitted on the corresponding blocking shaft. A connecting hole is arranged on one side of the upper end of each swing plate. One end of each tension spring is mounted in the corresponding connecting hole.

[0013] Preferably, a connecting plate is fitted on the middle part of each blocking shaft. A connecting rod is fixedly arranged on the side end of the connecting plate away from the blocking shaft. The guide wheel is rotatably connected to the connecting rod.

[0014] In summary, the built-in mechanical sensing device for the tilting furnace has the beneficial effect that through the arrangement of the detection assembly, when the sagger hits the guide wheel during the transmission of the sagger in the tilting furnace, the blocking shaft will rotate, and the rotation of the blocking shaft will synchronously drive the swing arm to rotate, and since the detection assembly is arranged outside the tilting furnace, the detection assembly will not be affected by the dust in the tilting furnace, so the detection assembly can detect the change of the position of the lower end of the swing arm in real time, thereby improving the accuracy of detecting the position of the sagger, and ensuring the normal production progress of the subsequent lithium battery.

[0031] The operation principle is that the tilting pot is conveyed into the tilting pot machine from one side of the tilting pot machine, when the tilting pot is conveyed to pass one blocking shaft 1 and reaches the side of another blocking shaft 1, the tilting pot will collide with the connecting plate 15, so that the blocking shaft 1 rotates, the blocking shaft 1 rotates synchronously to drive the swing arm 4 to rotate, the proximity switch 3 on one side of the swing arm 4 can accurately detect the rotation of the swing arm 4, so that the motor in the tilting pot machine can be quickly and accurately controlled to stop, the tilting pot in the tilting pot machine stops conveying, and the subsequent tilting operation of the tilting pot is started, so as to ensure the normal production of the lithium battery.
