Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical equipment, specifically to an aluminum shell feeding device. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, aluminum shell feeding devices utilize vibratory feeders. The working principle involves a pulse electromagnet beneath the feeder hopper, causing the hopper to vibrate vertically. An inclined spring plate drives the hopper to oscillate around its vertical axis. Parts inside the hopper, subjected to this vibration, rise along a spiral track. During this ascent, they undergo a series of selections or posture changes along the track, ensuring they automatically enter the assembly or processing position according to standardized requirements. However, a drawback is the very slow feeding speed of the vibratory feeder, reducing overall production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an aluminum shell feeding device, the specific technical solution of which is as follows:
[0004] An aluminum shell feeding device includes a storage chamber, a step-by-step feeding mechanism, a belt conveyor mechanism, a side plate, a left limiting block, a right limiting block, a battery shell receiving block, and a battery forward moving mechanism. The storage chamber is used to hold multiple battery shells. The step-by-step feeding mechanism is installed inside the storage chamber and is connected to the belt conveyor mechanism above. The step-by-step feeding mechanism drives a row of batteries to the belt conveyor mechanism. A side plate is installed on the side of the belt conveyor mechanism, and a left limiting block and a right limiting block are installed in the side plate. A drop chute is formed between the left and right limiting blocks to allow a single battery shell to pass through. The belt conveyor mechanism drives the battery shell to fall into the drop chute. The battery shell receiving block is located below the drop chute. The drop chute guides the battery shell into the battery shell receiving block. The battery forward moving mechanism drives the battery shell in the battery shell receiving block to move forward.
[0005] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bottom plate of the storage chamber is inclined, and the bottom plate guides the battery casing to the step-by-step feeding mechanism.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the step-by-step feeding mechanism includes a feeding motor, a crank assembly, a moving frame, a lifting plate, and a fixed plate. The feeding motor drives the moving frame to move up and down through the crank assembly. The moving frame is slidably installed inside the storage chamber through the cooperation of a slider and a slide rail. Multiple lifting plates are installed on the moving frame at intervals. Multiple fixed plates are installed inside the storage chamber at intervals. A single lifting plate is located between two adjacent fixed plates. The up and down movement of the lifting plates causes the battery casing to rise gradually.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the top surface of the lifting plate is an inclined surface.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a guide hook is installed above the side panel. When the battery case enters the side panel area with its opening facing forward, the guide hook temporarily hooks the opening of the battery case to straighten the bottom surface of the battery case.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the battery housing receiving block is provided with a single-entry battery receiving slot, the battery receiving slot is connected to the material discharge slot, and an air blowing mechanism is installed on the side of the battery housing receiving block. The air blowing mechanism blows the battery housing in the battery receiving slot toward the battery forward moving mechanism.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the battery forward moving mechanism includes a forward moving motor, a synchronous belt transmission assembly, and a feeding shaft. The forward moving motor drives the feeding shaft to rotate through the synchronous belt transmission assembly. The feeding shaft is provided with a spiral groove, and a limiting space is formed between the battery housing receiving block and the feeding shaft.
[0011] Beneficial effects: When the aluminum shell feeding device of this utility model is working, multiple battery shells are placed in the storage chamber. The step-by-step feeding mechanism drives a row of batteries to the belt conveyor mechanism. The belt conveyor mechanism drives the batteries to fall into the dropping chute. A guide hook 11 is installed above the side plate 4. The guide hook 11 ensures that the aluminum shells fall into the dropping chute with the opening facing upward. The dropping chute guides the battery shells into the battery shell receiving block. The battery forward moving mechanism drives the batteries in the battery shell receiving block to move forward. The whole process is reasonably connected, the feeding speed is fast, and it meets the actual production needs. Attached Figure Description

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the position or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0020] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0021] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, an aluminum shell feeding device includes a storage chamber 1, a step-by-step feeding mechanism 2, a belt conveyor mechanism 3, a side plate 4, a left limiting block 5, a right limiting block 6, a battery shell receiving block 7, and a battery forward moving mechanism 8. The storage chamber 1 is used to hold multiple battery shells 9. The step-by-step feeding mechanism 2 is installed in the storage chamber 1. The belt conveyor mechanism 3 is connected above the step-by-step feeding mechanism 2. The step-by-step feeding mechanism 2 drives a row of batteries to the belt conveyor mechanism 3. The side plate 4 is installed on the side of the belt conveyor mechanism 3. The left limiting block 5 and the right limiting block 6 are installed in the side plate 4. A drop chute 10 is formed between the left limiting block 5 and the right limiting block 6 to allow a single battery shell 9 to pass through. The belt conveyor mechanism 3 drives the battery shell 9 to fall into the drop chute 10. The battery shell receiving block 7 is located below the drop chute 10. The drop chute 10 guides the battery shell 9 into the battery shell receiving block 7. The battery forward moving mechanism 8 drives the battery shell 9 in the battery shell receiving block 7 to move forward. The belt conveyor mechanism 3 is existing technology, mainly composed of a motor, pulleys and belt, so its specific structure will not be described in detail.
[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, the bottom plate 1a of the storage chamber 1 is inclined. The inclined bottom plate 1a can guide the battery casing 9 below to the bottom of the step-by-step feeding mechanism 2. In addition, a partition 1b is provided in the middle of the storage chamber 1. The partition 1b can prevent the upper battery casing 9 from entering the feeding mechanism 2. A brush 1c is provided in the storage chamber 1 near the belt conveyor 3. The brush 1c can sweep down the vertical battery casing.
[0023] like Figure 3 and 4As shown, the step-by-step feeding mechanism 2 includes a feeding motor 21, a crank assembly 22, a moving frame 23, a lifting plate 24, and a fixed plate 25. The feeding motor 21 drives the moving frame 23 to move up and down through the crank assembly 22. The moving frame 23 is slidably installed inside the storage chamber 1 through the cooperation of a slider and a slide rail 26. Multiple spaced lifting plates 24 are installed on the moving frame 23, and the lifting plates 24 rise step by step. Multiple spaced fixed plates 25 are installed inside the storage chamber 1, and the fixed plates 25 rise step by step. Each lifting plate 24 is located between two adjacent fixed plates 25. The gap between the lifting plate 24 and the fixed plate 25 is very small to prevent the battery casing from falling into the gap. The up and down movement of the lifting plate 24 causes the battery casing 9 to rise gradually. Specifically, each time the moving frame 23 moves up, it transfers the battery casing 9 to the fixed plate 25 of the next level. In this way, by continuously raising the battery casing, the battery casing reaches the top level of the conveyor belt mechanism 3. In addition, the top surface of the lifting plate 24 is inclined to facilitate the rolling of the battery casing.
[0024] like Figure 5 As shown, a guide hook 11 is installed above the side plate 4. When the battery case 9 enters the area of the side plate 4 with its opening facing forward, the guide hook 11 temporarily hooks the opening of the battery case 9 so that the bottom surface of the battery case 9 is facing down and falls into the material drop chute 10. Since it is impossible to control the orientation of the battery case entering the belt conveyor mechanism 3, the guide hook 11 is used to ensure that the aluminum case opening faces upward. The guide hook 11 is a device to ensure that the aluminum case is dropped with its opening facing upward.
[0025] like Figure 6 As shown, the battery housing block 7 has a battery housing groove 71 for a single battery housing to enter. The battery housing groove 71 is connected to the material drop groove 10 and is directly below the material drop groove 10. The material drop groove 10 guides the battery housing to fall into the battery housing groove 71. The battery housing groove 71 has a through hole 72 on its side. An air blowing mechanism (not shown) is installed on the side of the battery housing block 7. When the battery housing falls into the battery housing groove 71, a feedback signal is generated, and the air blown out by the air blowing mechanism reaches the battery housing groove 71 through the through hole, so that the battery housing 9 moves closer to the battery forward moving mechanism 8, thus ensuring the continuity of production.
[0026] Specifically, the battery forward movement mechanism 8 includes a forward movement motor 81, a synchronous belt drive assembly 82, and a feeding shaft 83. The forward movement motor 81 drives the feeding shaft 83 to rotate through the synchronous belt drive assembly 82. The feeding shaft 83 is provided with a spiral groove. A limiting space is formed between the battery housing receiving block 7 and the feeding shaft 83. When the battery housing enters the spiral groove, the rotation of the feeding shaft 83 can move the battery housing 9 forward.
[0027] The above description is a further detailed explanation of the present utility model in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments. It should not be considered that the specific implementation of the present utility model is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, and all such deductions or substitutions should be considered to fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
