[0002] Lithium-ion batteries are a type of battery that uses lithium metal or lithium alloy as the positive / negative electrode material and a non-aqueous electrolyte solution. The lithium metal battery was first proposed and studied by Gibert N. Lewis in 1912. Lithium-ion batteries are divided into single lithium-ion batteries and lithium-ion battery packs. Regardless of the type, the battery cell is an essential part. During the production process, the battery cells need to be sorted, which requires a lithium-ion battery sorting machine to sort the battery cells.

[0003] During the production of prismatic battery cells, an OCV (open circuit voltage) test is required. Based on the test results, defective cells are rejected, and qualified cells are categorized and stored. To facilitate traceability, the cell information is scanned and recorded, and the results are correlated with the test results for archiving. The manual nature of these processes significantly impacts production efficiency and is also susceptible to errors in measurement data due to human error.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a square battery cell OCV sorting machine with barcode scanning testing function to solve the problems of low production efficiency and the risk of measurement data errors in the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0022] The battery is manually placed into the conveyor belt according to the prescribed method. The conveyor belt transports the battery to the ejection station. The ejection cylinder pushes the battery out to the testing conveyor belt. The battery automatically flows into the testing station. After the test is completed, the battery is automatically scanned online. After the cell test data and scanned information are bound, they automatically flow into the module transport mechanism. The module accurately transports the battery to the set corresponding position to complete the sorting.

[0023] Further as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it is worth noting that the conveying and sorting mechanism 4 includes a conveying channel 401, a drive motor 402, a test position 403, a barcode scanner 404, and a second transfer robot 405. The conveying channel 401 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting platform 1 and located on the right side of the placement mechanism 5. The drive motor 402 is installed on the conveying channel 401 to drive it. The test position 403 is located on the conveying channel 401 for testing the square battery cell 6. The barcode scanner 404 is located behind the test position 403 and connected to the conveying channel 401 for scanning the square battery cell 6. The second transfer robot 405 is located behind the conveying channel 401 and connected to the placement mechanism 5 for conveying the square battery cell 6.

[0024] Further as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it is worth noting that the test position 403 includes a support column 4031, a first transplanting robot 4032, and a test movable cylinder 4033.

A test needle 4037 is fixedly connected to the bottom right side of the connecting plate 4035.

[0025] Further as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it is worth noting that a rotating shaft 4041 is fixedly connected to the barcode scanner 404. An adjusting block 4042 is rotatably installed at the front end of the rotating shaft 4041. A fixed slide rod 4043 is slidably installed on the adjusting block 4042.

[0026] Further as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, it is worth noting that a linear guide rail 4051 is slidably mounted on the second transplanting robot 405, and the linear guide rail 4051 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting platform 1.

[0027] In use, the drive motor 402 operates to transport the square battery cell 6, which is pushed by a hydraulic rod, along the conveying channel 401. When the square battery cell 6 is transported to the test position 403, the test cylinder 4033 operates, cooperating with the support column 4031, the first transfer manipulator 4032, the slide rail 4034, the connecting plate 4035, and the rotating handle 4036 to adjust the height of the test probe 4037. This adjusts the test probe 4037 to match the electrode on the upper part of the square battery cell 6 for circuit testing, improving its testing capability. After the test is completed, the first... The transplanting robot 4032 releases the square battery cell 6, allowing it to be conveyed again through the conveying channel 401. The cell is then scanned by the barcode scanner 404, and the scanned data is recorded. Simultaneously, the angle of the barcode scanner 404 is adjusted via the rotating shaft 4041, adjusting block 4042, and fixed slide bar 4043, further enhancing its adjustability and screening efficiency. The screened square battery cell 6 then runs along the linear guide rail 4051, cooperating with the second transplanting robot 405 to be conveyed to the corresponding placement mechanism 5 for placement, thus improving the automation capability of the device.

[0028] Further as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it is worth noting that the placement mechanism 5 includes a mounting frame 501, a guide rail 502, a limiting rod 503, a movable block 504, and a material trough 505.

The material trough 505 is adjusted by the guide rail 502, the limiting rod 503, and the movable block 504.

[0029] In use, the guide rail 502, in conjunction with the limit rod 503, causes the movable block 504 to slide, thereby adjusting the size of the material trough 505 to match and adjust it according to the square battery cells 6 selected for testing, thus improving its adjustability.

[0030] This solution has the following working process: When this device is in use, by adjusting the support leg 2, the device as a whole can be supported and positioned, which makes it easy to move and adjust the whole device by means of the moving wheel 201, thereby improving the convenience of device adjustment. At the same time, the square battery cell 6 is transported, tested and scanned by the conveying and sorting mechanism 4. After the test data and scanning information of the square battery cell 6 are bound, they automatically flow into the placement mechanism 5 through the conveying and sorting mechanism 4, and are accurately transported by the module to the set corresponding position to complete the sorting, thereby improving the automated testing and screening capability of the device.

[0031] In summary: Through the industrial control computer 301, the conveying and sorting mechanism 4, and the placement mechanism 5, a maximum of 9 groups can be sorted and paired at one time, improving the consistency of pack battery quality and paired cell performance. The sorting process is automatically controlled, easy to operate, and eliminates manual intervention, ensuring the accuracy of test parameters and the reliability of the pairing process, thereby improving and guaranteeing the performance and quality of pack products. At the same time, its high degree of automation and simple operation can effectively improve production efficiency and reduce production costs. The support legs 2 at the bottom of the mounting platform 1, together with the moving wheels 201, facilitate the movement and installation of the entire device, thereby improving the overall adjustability of the device and its stability after installation, thus improving the practicality of the device.
