[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This button battery electrolyte adding device, which can add a fixed amount of liquid each time, by vertically changing the height of the limiting plate, ensures that the amount of liquid injected into the cavity below the compression plate is fixed each time. Finally, when the electric pusher pushes the compression plate downward to expel the liquid, the amount expelled each time is fixed, avoiding the need for manual observation each time liquid is added, thus simplifying operation. The specific details are as follows:
[0017] 1. By rotating the shaft, the drive wheel drives the driven wheel to rotate via a belt, causing the threaded tube to move vertically. This, in turn, changes the height of the limiting plate vertically.

This ensures that the amount of liquid injected into the cavity below the compression plate is constant each time. Finally, when the electric actuator pushes the compression plate downward to expel liquid, the amount expelled is always constant, avoiding the need for manual observation each time liquid is added, thus simplifying operation.
[0018] 2. The support spring will push the upper sealing plate to fit against the lower sealing plate, preventing liquid from leaking out under gravity. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The mounting head 102 is provided with a metering component 2, which includes an electric actuator 201 fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting head 102. An adjusting tube 202 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting head 102, and a liquid storage tube 203 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the adjusting tube 202.

The rotating shaft 212 can slide and rotate within the extension plate 211.
[0031] The locking block 216 is externally rotatably connected to a rotating ring 217. A pull spring 218 is fixedly connected between the top surface of the rotating ring 217 and the bottom surface of the extension plate 211. The pull spring 218 pulls the locking block 216 to engage with the serrated block 213.

A vertical scale 204 is provided on the outside of the liquid storage pipe 203, and a liquid supply pipe is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the liquid storage pipe 203. The vertical scale 204 is aligned with the bottom surface of the limiting plate 206 at a height that represents the volume of liquid that can be contained in the cavity below when the compression plate 207 is in contact with the limiting plate 206 at this time. The belt 215 can move up and down slightly within the through groove. The liquid supply pipe can automatically supply liquid through a valve, which is existing technology.

[0035] Working principle: Before using this button battery electrolyte adding device that can add a precise amount of electrolyte, it is necessary to check the overall condition of the device to ensure that it can work normally. Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, by rotating the shaft 212, the drive wheel 214 drives the driven wheel 210 to rotate via the belt 215, thereby causing the threaded tube 205 to move vertically, which in turn causes the height of the limiting plate 206 to change vertically. With the help of the vertical scale 204, the size of the cavity below the compression plate 207 is confirmed when the compression plate 207 is attached to the limiting plate 206. Then, each time the electric actuator 201 retracts, the limiting plate 206 will prevent the electric actuator 201 from moving the compression plate 207 upward, thereby ensuring that the amount of liquid injected into the cavity below the compression plate 207 is fixed each time. Finally, when the electric actuator 201 pushes the compression plate 207 downward to expel the liquid, the amount expelled each time is fixed, avoiding the need for manual observation each time liquid is added, and making the operation easier.
[0036] When liquid is supplied through the supply pipe, the support spring 304 pushes the upper sealing plate 302 to fit against the lower sealing plate 303 to prevent liquid from leaking out under gravity. When the compression plate 207 descends, the hydraulic pressure squeezes the upper sealing plate 302 to rotate downward, thereby causing the liquid to flow out from between the upper sealing plate 302 and the lower sealing plate 303.
[0037] Under normal conditions, pulling the spring 218 will cause the locking block 216 to engage with the serrated block 213, thus preventing the rotating shaft 212 from rotating freely, and consequently locking the position of the limiting plate 206.
[0038] Although the present invention 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. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
