Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery vacuum formation feeding technology, specifically to an automatic feeding device applied to vacuum battery formation. Background Technology
[0002] Vacuum formation technology, by forming batteries in a vacuum environment, can effectively remove gases from inside the battery, improving formation efficiency and results. The vacuum battery formation system and its usage method disclosed in CN113193238A have the following shortcomings: In vacuum formation devices, battery loading typically requires manual operation, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and prone to errors; manual loading is not only inefficient but may also damage the battery or cause inaccurate placement due to improper operation, affecting the formation effect; most vacuum formation devices have low automation levels and still require manual intervention, such as manually placing the battery into the reaction vessel; low automation levels lead to low production efficiency and increased production costs. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an automatic feeding device for vacuum battery formation.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this application to solve its technical problem is: an automatic feeding device for vacuum battery formation, including two moving guide rails arranged opposite to each other, a trolley that moves automatically along the moving guide rails, a tray for placing batteries on the trolley, and a transfer mechanism on the trolley.
[0005] In use, the automatic feeding device is set on the feeding port side of the vacuum battery formation reaction vessel. The trolley moves the batteries on the tray to the feeding port of the reaction vessel, and the tray is sent into the reaction vessel by the transfer mechanism.
[0006] The trolley includes a frame, and the bottom of the frame is provided with movable rollers that move along the movable guide rail. The transfer mechanism is mounted on the frame, and the pallet is mounted above the transfer mechanism.
[0007] The vehicle frame includes a main frame, which is concave in shape, and the movable rollers are provided at the bottom of the main frame;
[0008] The transfer mechanism is located in a concave groove of the main frame. In this application, the transfer mechanism is first moved to the feed port of the reaction vessel by a trolley, and then the pallet is transferred into the reaction vessel by the transfer mechanism.
[0009] Several support rods are fixedly installed at the concave bottom of the main frame, and the transfer mechanism is mounted on the support rods. In this application, the support frame is arranged linearly along the main frame, and the support rods are fixedly connected to the main frame body via connecting rods to ensure the stability of the entire vehicle frame.
[0010] The transfer mechanism includes two feeding guide rails arranged opposite each other, and the two feeding guide rails are fixed on the support rod;
[0011] The feeding guide rail is equipped with a telescopic mechanism, which moves along the feeding guide rail via movable rollers, and the tray is mounted on the telescopic mechanism.
[0012] The telescopic mechanism includes a movable frame, on which a telescopic cylinder is mounted, and on which a support cover is mounted, and the tray is placed on the support cover.
[0013] Both the moving guide rail and the feeding guide rail are electric guide rails, which enable the trolley and the telescopic mechanism to move automatically along the corresponding guide rails.
[0014] It also includes a support frame, which is located on both sides of the moving guide rail, and the upper surface of the support frame is higher than the height of the support cover when the telescopic cylinder is retracted.
[0015] The reason for this setup is that workers typically place pallets on the support frame using a forklift. However, if a forklift is used, it is impossible to place the pallet directly onto the support cover, hence the need for the support frame. Initially, there is space between the support cover and the support frame for the forklift forks to extend. The forklift places the pallet on the support frame, and then the telescopic cylinder lifts the support cover, carrying the pallet along the moving guide rail and the feeding guide rail into the reaction vessel.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides an automatic feeding device for vacuum battery formation. This device achieves automatic battery feeding through a moving guide rail and a transfer mechanism, thereby improving the level of automation, saving manpower, and ensuring the safety and accuracy of the feeding process.
[0018] This application realizes automatic battery feeding through a moving guide rail and a transfer mechanism, reducing the need for manual operation. The trolley can move automatically along the moving guide rail and send the tray into the reaction vessel through the transfer mechanism, which greatly improves the automation level of the production process.
[0019] Traditional manual feeding methods require workers to frequently move batteries, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The automatic feeding device of this application can quickly and accurately feed batteries into the reaction vessel, significantly shortening the feeding time and improving production efficiency. Through the cooperation of electric guide rails and telescopic mechanisms, the trolley and pallet can complete the movement and transfer in a short time, ensuring the high efficiency of continuous production.
[0020] By reducing direct contact between workers and equipment and lowering operational risks, the support frame design allows forklifts to place pallets directly on the support frame, avoiding the potential dangers of forklifts directly operating pallets and further improving operational safety.

If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.
[0026] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixing" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0027] An automatic feeding device for vacuum battery formation includes two opposing movable guide rails 1. A trolley 2 that moves automatically along the movable guide rails 1 is provided on the movable guide rails 1. A tray for placing batteries is provided on the trolley 2. A transfer mechanism for transferring the tray into a reaction vessel is provided on the trolley 2.
[0028] The trolley 2 includes a frame, and the bottom of the frame is provided with movable rollers 201 that move along the movable guide rail 1. The transfer mechanism is mounted on the frame, and the pallet is mounted above the transfer mechanism.
[0029] The vehicle frame includes a main frame 202, which is concave in shape, and the movable rollers 201 are provided at the bottom of the main frame 202;
[0030] The transfer mechanism is located in a concave groove of the main frame 202. In this application, the transfer mechanism is first moved to the feed port of the reaction vessel by a trolley, and then the pallet is transferred into the reaction vessel by the transfer mechanism.
[0031] A plurality of support rods 203 are fixedly installed on the concave bottom of the main frame 202, and the transfer mechanism is mounted on the support rods 203. In this application, the support rods 203 are arranged linearly along the main frame 202, and the support rods 203 are fixedly connected to the main frame 202 through connecting rods to ensure the stability of the entire frame.
[0032] The transfer mechanism includes two feeding guide rails 4 arranged opposite to each other, and the two feeding guide rails 4 are fixed on the support rod 203;
[0033] The feeding guide rail 4 is equipped with a telescopic mechanism, which moves back and forth along the feeding guide rail 4 via a movable roller 201, and the tray is mounted on the telescopic mechanism.
[0034] The telescopic mechanism includes a movable frame 204, on which a telescopic cylinder 205 is provided. The telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 205 is provided with a support cover 206, and the tray is placed on the support cover 206.
[0035] The movement of the movable roller 201 can be controlled by a servo motor, and the travel distance can also be controlled based on the servo motor.
[0036] The automatic feeding device of this application can be flexibly configured to meet different production needs. For example, it can adapt to production lines of different sizes by adjusting the number of trolleys and the length of the moving guide rails. The height and position of the telescopic mechanism can also be adjusted according to the specific reaction vessel, enhancing the adaptability and flexibility of the equipment.
[0037] During operation, the entire trolley 2 moves along the moving guide rail 1 to the entrance of the reaction vessel. The feeding guide rail 4 is used to connect with the guide rail inside the reaction vessel. A support member for the tray is installed on the inner wall of the reaction vessel. The height of the support member is higher than the height of the support cover 206 when the telescopic mechanism is extended to its maximum length, but lower than the height of the support cover 206 when the telescopic mechanism is retracted to its lowest point. As the moving frame 204 enters the reaction vessel, it moves along the guide rail inside the reaction vessel to the support member. The telescopic mechanism then retracts, and the tray falls onto the support member. Subsequently, the trolley resets and begins the automatic feeding operation for the next tray.
[0038] In addition, this application also includes a support frame 3, which is disposed on both sides of the moving guide rail 1, and the upper surface of the support frame 3 is higher than the height of the support cover 206 when the telescopic cylinder 205 is retracted.
[0039] The reason for this arrangement is that workers typically place pallets on the support frame 3 using a forklift. If a forklift is used, it is impossible to place the pallet directly on the support cover 206, hence the support frame 3. In the initial state, there is space between the support cover 206 and the support frame 3 for the forklift forks to extend. The forklift places the pallet on the support frame 3, and then the telescopic cylinder 205 drives the support cover 206 to rise, lifting the pallet and moving it along the moving guide rail 1 and the feeding guide rail 4 into the reaction vessel.
[0040] The automatic placement of pallets can also be achieved using robotic arms and other equipment.
[0041] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the concept of the present utility model and using the contents of the present utility model specification, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
