[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Example 1: Reference Figure 1-4 A battery cap welding machine is shown, including a processing table 1 and a welding assembly 5. The welding assembly 5 is installed on the processing table 1, and the welding assembly 5 welds the cap onto the battery.

[0022] A turntable 7 is rotatably connected to the processing table 1. The turntable 7 is driven by a motor 14. The turntable 7 has a groove 11 that matches the size of the battery. The bottom of the turntable 7 has a limiting component 9 for clamping the battery. The limiting component 9 corresponds to the position of the groove 11.

[0023] The grooves 11 are provided in four sets, and the processing table 1 is provided with battery conveying line 2 and cap conveying line 4. The battery conveying line 2 and the cap conveying line 4 are positioned corresponding to the adjacent grooves 11. The processing table 1 is also equipped with a push rod 3 for loading batteries from the battery conveying line 2 into the grooves 11. Under the action of the push rod 3, the battery is pushed from the battery conveying line 2 into the grooves 11 and is limited by the limiting component 9, so that the battery rotates together with the turntable 7 to prepare for the subsequent assembly and welding of the cap.

[0024] A top plate 6 is mounted above the turntable 7. The top plate 6 has a countersunk hole 10 for guiding the cap onto the battery. The countersunk hole 10 corresponds to the groove 11. The countersunk hole 10 has a frustum portion and a cylindrical portion from top to bottom. The inner diameter of the cylindrical portion matches the outer diameter of the battery. The countersunk hole 10 is designed to allow for more precise assembly of the cap onto the battery, replacing manual assembly.

[0025] The processing table 1 is also equipped with a mounting plate 8, which is located below the turntable 7. The mounting plate 8 is provided with a guide plate 12 for guiding the battery to slide in the groove 11 and a discharge plate 13 for unloading the cap after welding. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the guide plate 12 is used to guide the battery to slide upward in the groove 11, so that the top of the battery is located in the cylindrical part of the countersunk hole 10 for assembly with the cap.

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, the limiting component 9 includes a gripper 91 and a mounting base 93. The mounting base 93 is installed at the bottom of the turntable 7. The gripper 91 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 93 via a rotating shaft 92. The gripper 91 has two sets, and a torsion spring is provided between it and the mounting base 93. The gripper 91 clamps and limits the battery so that it will not slip out of the groove 11 when the turntable 7 rotates.

[0027] The working principle of this utility is as follows: When in use, the equipment is connected to power and connected to an external PLC control unit. The external PLC control unit controls the start and stop of the electrical components in the equipment.

[0028] The battery and cap are conveyed via battery conveyor line 2 and cap conveyor line 4. The push rod 3 extends, pushing the battery from battery conveyor line 2 into the groove 11 of turntable 7. The battery contacts the grippers 91 in the limiting assembly 9, causing the two sets of grippers 91 to rotate around the rotating shaft 92, moving in opposite directions. The torsion spring is compressed and stores energy. When the battery is in place, the push rod 3 retracts, and the grippers 91, under the action of the torsion spring, clamp and limit the battery. The motor 14 is then controlled to rotate, carrying... The rotating turntable 7 and the top plate 6 rotate 90 degrees. During the rotation, the top of the battery contacts the guide plate 12 and slides upward in the groove 11 under the guidance of the guide plate 12. The top of the battery is embedded in the cylindrical part of the countersunk hole 10. When the rotation stops, the countersunk hole 10 on the top plate 6 corresponds to the output end of the cap conveying line 4. The cap conveying line 4 conveys the cap to the countersunk hole 10. Under its own gravity, the cap enters the cylindrical part from the frustum of the countersunk hole 10 and contacts the battery.

[0029] The motor 14 continues to rotate 90 degrees, positioning the battery and cap below the welding assembly 5, and controls the welding assembly 5 to perform welding on the two. When the welding assembly 5 presses down on the cap, it will drive the battery to move downward in the groove 11, pushing the battery out of the countersunk hole 10 and making the bottom of the battery contact the mounting plate 8. After welding is completed, the motor 14 rotates 90 degrees. During the rotation, the battery is pushed out from the two sets of grippers 91 under the action of the guide plate 12, completing the unloading and thus completing the cap welding process of a set of batteries.

[0031] Components not described in detail in this article are existing technologies.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
