[0020] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Rather, the embodiments of the present invention include all variations, modifications, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

[0021] The fuel cell electrode plate dispensing device of this utility model embodiment will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the fuel cell electrode plate dispensing device of this utility model embodiment may include a base 10, an angle adjustment mechanism 50, a glue storage cylinder 60, and a fixing mechanism 80.

[0023] The base 10 has a first electric slide rail 20 on both sides of its top surface. The first electric slide rail 20 is connected to a movable plate 21, and a top plate 22 is connected between the top ends of the two movable plates 21.

[0024] The bottom surface of the top plate 22 is provided with a second electric slide rail 30, and the second electric slide rail 30 is connected to a cylinder 40.

[0025] It is understandable that by setting the first electric slide rail 20 and the second electric slide rail 30, the position of the dispensing head 73 can be adjusted, thereby facilitating dispensing of adhesive to different positions of the battery plates.

[0026] The angle adjustment mechanism 50 is connected to the piston end of the cylinder 40.

[0027] The glue storage cylinder 60 is connected to the angle adjustment mechanism 50. The bottom end of the glue storage cylinder 60 is provided with a glue outlet 61, and a glue outlet valve 62 is provided on the glue outlet 61.

[0028] It should be noted that the surface of the battery plates may have complex geometries, such as curves or slopes. By setting the angle adjustment mechanism 50, the angles of the glue reservoir 60 and the dispensing head 73 can be adjusted, allowing the glue to better adapt to these surface features, thereby providing a better bonding effect.

[0029] A vertical rod 71 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the glue storage cylinder 60. A rotating plate 72 is sleeved on the vertical rod 71. Multiple dispensing heads 73 are circumferentially arranged on the rotating plate 72. A baffle 74 is connected to the bottom end of the vertical rod 71. A spring 75 is connected between the baffle 74 and the rotating plate 72. The spring 75 is sleeved on the vertical rod 71. A connector 76 is provided between the glue storage cylinder 60 and the dispensing heads 73.

[0030] It should be noted that the diameters at the bottom of the multiple dispensing heads 73 are different. By setting a spring 75, the dispensing head 73 can be squeezed to make it align with the dispensing port 61. By connecting the dispensing port 61 to different dispensing heads 73, the dispensing amount can be controlled to adapt to different dispensing needs. By setting a connector 76, the connection between the dispensing head 73 and the glue storage cylinder 60 can be made more stable.

[0031] The fixing mechanism 80 is set on the base 10.

[0032] Specifically, the staff places the fuel cell electrode plate on the top surface of the base 10, then activates the fixing mechanism 80 to clamp and fix the electrode plate, and activates the cylinder 40 to drive the dispensing head 73 to move downward to dispense adhesive onto the electrode plate. During dispensing, the angle adjustment mechanism 50 can be activated to change the relative angle between the dispensing head 73 and the battery electrode plate, so that the adhesive can better adapt to the irregular shape of the electrode plate surface.

[0033] During the dispensing process, activating the first electric slide rail 20 can move the dispensing head 73 back and forth, and activating the second electric slide rail 30 can move the dispensing head 73 left and right, thereby dispensing adhesive to different positions on the battery plates.

[0034] When it is necessary to adjust the amount of glue dispensed, the operator pulls down the dispensing head 73 to separate it from the glue storage cylinder 60, and then rotates the rotating plate 72 to connect the other dispensing heads 73 with the glue outlet 61, thereby controlling the amount of glue dispensed.

[0035] The fuel cell electrode plate dispensing device of this utility model can change the dispensing head with different outlet size according to the needs during the dispensing process, thereby controlling the dispensing amount and effectively improving the dispensing accuracy.

[0036] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the angle adjustment mechanism 50 may include a fixed plate 51, a first electric push rod 53, a connecting plate 54, a movable plate 55, and a movable rod 56.

[0037] The fixed plate 51 is connected to the piston end of the cylinder 40. The fixed plate 51 has a through hole 52. The first electric push rod 53 is connected to the top wall of the through hole 52. The connecting plate 54 is connected to the piston end of the first electric push rod 53. The movable plate 55 is hinged to the fixed plate 51. The two ends of the movable rod 56 are respectively hinged to the connecting plate 54 and the movable plate 55. The glue storage cylinder 60 is connected to the movable plate 55.

[0038] It should be noted that by controlling the extension and retraction of the piston end of the first electric push rod 53, the connecting plate 54 can be moved up and down, thereby moving the movable rod 56 and the movable plate 55, and adjusting the angle of the movable plate 55 and the glue storage cylinder 60.

[0039] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the fixing mechanism 80 may include two support plates 81, two second electric push rods 82 and two clamping plates 83. The two support plates 81 are respectively disposed on both sides of the top surface of the base 10, the two second electric push rods 82 are disposed opposite to each other on the two support plates 81, and the clamping plates 83 are connected to the piston ends of the second electric push rods 82.

[0040] It is understandable that by controlling the extension and retraction of the piston end of the second electric push rod 82, the clamping plate 83 can be moved. The two clamping plates 83 can cooperate to clamp and fix the battery plates, preventing them from moving during the dispensing process.

[0041] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the connector 76 includes a plurality of first magnetic rings 761 and second magnetic rings 762. The plurality of first magnetic rings 761 are respectively disposed at the top of a plurality of dispensing heads 73, and the second magnetic rings 762 are disposed at the bottom of the dispensing port 61. The first magnetic rings 761 and the second magnetic rings 762 are magnetically connected.

[0042] It should be noted that by setting the first magnetic ring 761 and the second magnetic ring 762, the connection between the dispensing head 73 and the dispensing port 61 can be made more stable, and it is also easier to separate the dispensing head 73 and the dispensing port 61.

[0043] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the top of the glue storage cylinder 60 is provided with a glue inlet 63, and a solenoid valve 64 is provided on the glue inlet 63.

[0044] It should be noted that when the glue storage cylinder 60 is in use, glue is delivered to the glue inlet 63 through the glue storage container and the delivery pipe. The glue storage container is connected to the air pump. The compressed air generated by the air pump enters the glue storage container, thereby pressurizing the glue and causing the glue to flow downward into the glue storage cylinder 60. The glue entering the glue storage cylinder 60 can be easily controlled by the solenoid valve 64.

[0045] In summary, the fuel cell electrode plate dispensing device of this utility model can change the dispensing head with different outlet size according to the needs during the dispensing process, thereby controlling the dispensing amount and effectively improving the dispensing accuracy.
