Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of stringing machines, specifically to a directional feeding device for lithium-ion batteries. Background Technology

[0002] A battery stringing machine, also known as a battery stringing layout machine, is a device that arranges batteries neatly in a certain way to facilitate their subsequent use. Currently, there are no stringing machines on the market that can arrange lithium-ion batteries with the same-direction leads. One reason for this is that lithium-ion batteries with the same-direction leads are not easy to feed. If the positive and negative leads collide during feeding, the battery will short-circuit, which can cause a fire in severe cases, posing a significant safety hazard. Therefore, how to reasonably feed lithium-ion batteries with the same-direction leads is a challenge. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the technical challenges of feeding lithium-ion batteries with unidirectional lead-out pins, this invention provides a directional feeding device for lithium-ion batteries with unidirectional lead-out pins. The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0004] A lithium-ion battery feeding device with unidirectional lead-out includes a mounting plate, a first fork transfer mechanism, a second fork transfer mechanism, a support base, a parallel feeding base, a guide plate, and an intermediate plate. The first fork transfer mechanism, the second fork transfer mechanism, and the support base are respectively installed on the top of the mounting plate. The support base is located between the first fork transfer mechanism and the second fork transfer mechanism. The parallel feeding base, the guide plate, and the intermediate plate are sequentially installed on the top of the support base. The lithium-ion battery enters the parallel feeding base. The first fork transfer mechanism drives the battery in the parallel feeding base to move to the end. The end of the parallel feeding base is connected to the guide plate. The guide plate is perpendicular to the parallel feeding base and is connected to the intermediate plate. The second fork transfer mechanism drives the battery in the intermediate plate to move.

[0005] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, when the battery at the end of the parallel feeder is transferred to the guide plate, the guide plate is inserted between the two pins of the lithium-ion battery.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the battery in the parallel feeder is guided by a guide plate to turn 90 degrees and enter the intermediate plate.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the end of the guide plate is pointed.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first shifting fork material transfer mechanism includes a transverse cylinder, a transverse base, a slide cylinder, and a battery shifting fork fixture. The transverse cylinder drives the transverse base to move left and right. The slide cylinder is installed on the transverse base and drives the battery shifting fork fixture to move back and forth. The battery shifting fork fixture is provided with multiple shifting slots.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a battery buffer clamping mechanism is installed above the support base, which presses down on the parallel feeder and the battery on the intermediate plate.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the guide plate is set vertically to the parallel feeder and the guide plate is connected to the middle plate. When the battery in the parallel feeder moves to the end and then to the guide plate, the guide plate is inserted between the two pins of the lithium-ion battery, so that the battery is rotated and the positive and negative pins are separated, ensuring the safety of the feeding process and providing feeding guarantee for the subsequent battery layout.

[0016] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0018] 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.

[0019] like Figures 1-4As shown, a lithium-ion battery feeding device with co-directional lead-out pins includes a mounting plate 1, a first fork transfer mechanism 2, a second fork transfer mechanism 3, a support base 4, a parallel feeding base 5, a guide plate 6, and an intermediate plate 7. The first fork transfer mechanism 2, the second fork transfer mechanism 3, and the support base 4 are respectively mounted on top of the mounting plate 1. The support base 4 is located between the first fork transfer mechanism 2 and the second fork transfer mechanism 3. The parallel feeding base 5, the guide plate 6, and the intermediate plate 7 are sequentially mounted on top of the support base 4. The lithium-ion batteries with co-directional lead-out pins... The sub-battery 9 enters the parallel feeder 5, which has a straight groove. The leads of the lithium-ion batteries with leads in the same direction enter the straight groove in parallel. The first fork transfer mechanism 2 drives the battery in the parallel feeder 5 to move to the end of the parallel feeder 5. The end of the parallel feeder 5 is connected to the guide plate 6. The guide plate 6 is set perpendicular to the parallel feeder 5. In this way, when the battery at the end moves forward, the guide plate 6 can be inserted between the two leads. The guide plate 6 is connected to the intermediate plate 7. The second fork transfer mechanism 3 drives the battery in the intermediate plate 7 to move.

[0020] Specifically, when the battery at the end of the parallel feeder 5 is transferred to the guide plate 6, the guide plate 6 is inserted between the two pins of the lithium-ion battery. Due to the guiding effect of the guide plate 6, the intermediate plate 7 is also inserted between the two pins of the lithium-ion battery. The two pins are separated. The battery in the parallel feeder 5 is guided by the guide plate 6 to turn 90 degrees and enter the intermediate plate 7. The end of the guide plate 6 is pointed to facilitate the entry of the pins.

[0021] like Figure 5 As shown, the first fork transfer mechanism 2 includes a transverse cylinder 21, a transverse seat 22, a slide cylinder 23, and a battery fork fixture 24. The transverse cylinder 21 drives the transverse seat 22 to move left and right. The slide cylinder 23 is installed on the transverse seat 22. The slide cylinder 23 drives the battery fork fixture 24 to move back and forth. The battery fork fixture 24 is provided with multiple slots. This structure of the first fork transfer mechanism 2 allows the battery to move in a step-like manner. The battery at the end is driven forward by the first fork transfer mechanism 2 and enters the guide plate 6. The structure of the second fork transfer mechanism 3 is similar to that of the first fork transfer mechanism 2, and will not be described in detail.

[0022] Specifically, a battery buffer clamping mechanism 8 is installed above the support base 4. The battery buffer clamping mechanism presses down on the batteries on the parallel feeder and the intermediate plate. The battery buffer clamping mechanism 8 is mainly composed of a pressure spring, a pressure block and a guide rod. The pressure spring is fitted onto the guide rod. The pressure spring drives the pressure block to move down and gently press down on the top of the battery to prevent the battery from falling off during the material transfer process.

[0023] 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.
