Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of lithium battery production technology, specifically relating to a steel-shell conveying anti-tipping device. Background Technology

[0002] In the lithium battery assembly process, the steel shell needs to be supplied separately from the support cup. The steel shell is conveyed by the conveyor belt with the shell opening facing down. Because the conveyor channel is relatively long with the shell opening facing down, and the center of gravity of the steel shell is unstable, the steel shell is prone to tilting and falling over during the conveying process. After tipping over, it is squeezed and deformed, resulting in poor quality of the steel shell and waste. Moreover, the steel shell needs to be manually righted after it tipps over, which affects the efficiency of steel shell supply. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides a steel shell conveyor anti-tipping device to solve the problem of steel shells tipping over when conveyed with the shell opening facing downwards.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A steel shell conveying anti-tipping device includes a steel shell upward suction conveying structure, which comprises a conveying component, a conveying power component, conveying rollers, a conveying support, and a magnet. A conveying roller is installed at each end of the conveying support, and the conveying component is sleeved on the two conveying rollers. A magnet is installed on the conveying support between the two conveying rollers, close to the lower conveying surface of the conveying component. The length of the magnet is not less than the distance between the two conveying rollers. The conveying power component drives the conveying component to rotate cyclically around the conveying rollers. The magnet strength is between 400GS and 900GS to ensure sufficient adsorption force. A partition is installed below the magnet to separate it from the lower conveying surface of the conveying component. The length of the magnet is sufficient to convey the steel shell from the previous process to the next process. The steel shell conveyed from the previous process is adsorbed onto the lower conveying surface of the conveying component by the magnetic force of the magnet. During the rotation of the conveying component, the steel shell is suspended with its opening facing downwards, preventing it from tipping over due to a lack of balance.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, conveying baffles are installed on both sides of the conveying support, and the channel defined between the two conveying baffles is a steel shell conveying channel. The lower conveying surface of the conveying component serves as the adsorption conveying surface of the steel shell. The conveying baffles are non-metallic plates, and the width of the conveying baffles is greater than the outer diameter of the steel shell. The steel shell conveying channel facilitates the passage of the steel shell, provides certain constraints on the steel shell, and prevents collisions.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the conveying power component is mounted on the conveying support via a power base plate. The output shaft of the conveying power component is connected to a drive roller via a coupling. The drive roller is located above the conveying support, and the conveying component is wound around the conveying roller and the drive roller. The conveying power component uses a motor, and the conveying component uses a conveyor belt. The conveying component forms a triangular structure between the drive roller and the conveying roller. Driven by the drive roller, the conveying component rotates cyclically around the drive roller and the conveying roller. The lower conveying surface can attract the steel shell under the action of a magnet. The steel shell has a large bottom area, ensuring stable attraction.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a pressure roller is provided on each side of the drive roller. The pressure rollers are mounted on the power base plate, and their lower end faces are in contact with the conveying component. The pressure rollers move accordingly to ensure the tension of the conveying component.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a receiving turntable is provided at the discharge end of the steel shell conveying channel; the receiving turntable is provided with several receiving grooves, and the inner wall of the receiving grooves is provided with adsorption magnets. After the steel shell leaves the magnetic zone, it falls from the conveying component and is received by the grooves of the receiving turntable, which can not only prevent it from tipping over when it loses its magnetism, but also complete the transfer of the steel shell.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the receiving turntable includes a central bushing, an upper receiving turntable, and a lower receiving turntable; the upper receiving turntable and the lower receiving turntable are installed alternately on the central bushing, and each of the upper receiving turntable and the lower receiving turntable is provided with a plurality of receiving grooves.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, an arc-shaped baffle is provided on the outer side of the receiving turntable. The arc-shaped baffle is positioned in the rotation direction of the receiving turntable and close to the discharge end of the conveyor, so that the steel shell falling from the demagnetized conveyor falls into the receiving trough and is attracted by the magnet, and is transferred under the rotation of the receiving turntable.

[0012] This invention uses magnets and a conveyor to suspend and transport the steel shell by adsorbing its bottom, replacing the traditional method of conveying the steel shell by contacting the conveyor belt. This avoids the problem of the steel shell tipping over, reduces the equipment downtime caused by tipping, improves equipment efficiency, and also reduces the risk of scrapping due to deformation caused by tipping and squeezing, saving costs. Furthermore, the magnets provide stable adsorption and are not easy to fall off, and the conveyor power component can change the rotation to achieve the desired steel shell conveying speed, meeting the supply capacity requirements after the equipment speeds up.

[0017] 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.

[0018] Example:

[0019] A steel-shell conveyor anti-tipping device, such as Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a steel-shell top-suction conveying structure and a receiving turntable 10. The steel-shell top-suction conveying structure includes a conveying component 1, a conveying power component 2, a conveying roller 3, a conveying support 4, a magnet 5, and a conveying baffle 6. In this embodiment, the conveying component uses a conveyor belt, and the conveying power component uses a motor.

[0020] A conveying roller 3 is installed at each of the two ends of the conveying bracket 4. The conveying power component can directly drive one of the conveying rollers to rotate, and the corresponding conveying component 1 is directly sleeved on the two conveying rollers 3. Alternatively, an additional drive roller can be provided. In this embodiment, for example... Figure 1 and 3 As shown, the conveying power component 2 is mounted on the conveying bracket 4 via the power base plate 7. The output shaft of the conveying power component 2 is connected to the drive roller 8 via a coupling. The drive roller 8 is located above the conveying bracket 4. The conveying component 1 is wound around the conveying roller and the drive roller. The conveying component forms a triangular structure between the drive roller and the conveying roller. Driven by the drive roller, the conveying component rotates cyclically around the drive roller and the conveying roller.

[0021] In order to ensure the tension of the conveying component, a pressure roller 9 is provided on both sides of the drive roller 8. The pressure roller 9 is mounted on the power base plate 7, and the lower end face of the pressure roller 9 is in contact with the conveying component. The pressure roller moves accordingly.

[0022] In order to adsorb the steel shell, such as Figure 3 As shown, a magnet 5 is installed on the conveyor bracket 4 between the two conveyor rollers 3, and the magnet 5 is close to the lower conveying surface of the conveyor component 1; the length of the magnet is not less than the distance between the two conveyor rollers.

[0023] The lower conveyor surface, under the influence of magnets, can attract steel shells. The large bottom area of ​​the steel shells ensures stable attraction. Magnet strength between 400GS and 900GS guarantees sufficient attraction force. A partition is installed below the magnets to separate them from the lower conveyor surface of the conveyor. The magnets are long enough to transport the steel shells from one process to the next. Steel shells from the previous process are attracted to the lower conveyor surface by the magnets. During the rotation of the conveyor, the steel shells are suspended with their openings facing downwards, preventing them from tipping over due to gravity.

[0024] Furthermore, conveying baffles 6 are installed on both sides of the conveying support 4. The channel defined between the two conveying baffles 6 is the steel shell conveying channel, and the lower conveying surface of the conveying component serves as the adsorption conveying surface of the steel shell. The conveying baffles are non-metallic plates, and the width of the conveying baffles is greater than the outer diameter of the steel shell. The steel shell conveying channel facilitates the passage of the steel shell, provides certain constraints on the steel shell, and prevents collisions.

[0025] The receiving turntable 10 is installed at the discharge end of the steel shell conveying channel; for example... Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, the receiving turntable 10 includes a central bushing 100, an upper receiving turntable 101, and a lower receiving turntable 102. The upper receiving turntable 101 and the lower receiving turntable 102 are installed at intervals on the central bushing 100, and each of the upper receiving turntable 101 and the lower receiving turntable 102 is provided with a plurality of receiving grooves 11. The inner wall of the receiving groove 11 is provided with an adsorption magnet 12. After the steel shell leaves the magnetic area, it falls from the conveyor and is received by the grooves of the receiving turntable, which can prevent it from tipping over when it loses its magnetism and can also complete the transfer of the steel shell.

[0026] An arc-shaped baffle 13 is provided on the outer side of the receiving turntable 10. The arc-shaped baffle is positioned in the rotation direction of the receiving turntable and close to the discharge end of the conveyor, so that the steel shell that falls from the demagnetized conveyor falls into the receiving trough and is attracted by the magnet, and is transferred under the rotation of the receiving turntable.

[0027] The rotation of the receiving turntable can be powered by a rotary motor, whose output shaft rotates together with the central bushing.

[0028] After the steel shell 14 is separated from the cup, it is transported to the steel shell conveying channel with its opening facing down. Under the attraction of the magnet, it is attracted to the lower conveying surface of the conveyor belt. As the conveyor belt rotates, it is transported in mid-air. After leaving the area where the magnet is set, the steel shell loses its magnetic force and is detached from the lower conveying surface and is attracted and received by the receiving grooves of the upper and lower receiving turntables. The rotation of the receiving turntables realizes the transfer.
