The worktable is fixedly connected to the top of the base, and a housing is fixedly connected to the top of the worktable. A conveyor belt is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the worktable. The receiving tank of this invention, by setting a stepped chute frame and a limiting arc groove plate, in conjunction with a linkage slider and a sliding plate, ensures that the overall height of the material pile remains consistent, facilitating the next feeding by the sorting mechanism. The sorting mechanism can directly feed the material without further downward movement, reducing the working stroke and improving operational efficiency.
[0004] However, the above-mentioned publicly available solutions have the following shortcomings: the friction blocks often rub against the conveyor belt, which shortens the service life of the friction blocks and the conveyor belt. The wear of the conveyor belt is easily caused by the contact of the battery cells, which reduces the sorting efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the background technology by proposing a fully automatic battery cell sorting device.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A fully automatic battery cell sorting device includes a base with an installation groove, on which a feeding mechanism is provided.

[0009] Preferably, the sorting mechanism includes multiple sets of electric push rods evenly distributed inside the mounting groove; and two sets of material guide conveyor belt assemblies symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the sorting conveyor belt assembly. One end of each material guide conveyor belt assembly is detachably connected to the corresponding feeding conveyor belt assembly via bolts, and the other end of each material guide conveyor belt assembly is equipped with a movable wheel that is rotatably connected to the base.
[0010] Preferably, the receiving vehicle includes a mobile vehicle that is detachably connected to the output end of the material conveyor assembly, and two sets of material receiving ports are symmetrically opened on the mobile vehicle; and a sliding seat that is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mobile vehicle, and multiple sets of buffer springs are installed at the bottom of the sliding seat, with the bottom of the buffer springs connected to the bottom of the interior of the mobile vehicle.
[0011] Preferably, two sets of limiting plates are symmetrically rotatably connected to the end of the guide conveyor assembly away from the feeding conveyor assembly. The other end of the limiting plate is provided with an arc-shaped opening. Two sets of screws are symmetrically arranged on the moving vehicle. The arc-shaped opening is connected to the screw, and a nut is threaded onto the screw. The nut presses the limiting plate against the side wall of the moving vehicle.

[0017] Example 1
[0018] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention proposes a fully automatic battery cell sorting device, including a base 1, a sorting mechanism, and a receiving cart; the base 1 has an installation groove, and a feeding mechanism is provided on the installation groove. The feeding mechanism can adjust its width to convey battery cells of different sizes; multiple sets of sorting mechanisms are provided, which are evenly distributed on the base 1 and correspond to the feeding mechanism, for screening the battery cells; multiple sets of receiving carts are provided, which are evenly distributed at the output end of the sorting mechanism to receive the sorted battery cells.
[0019] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism includes an adjustment component and a feeding conveyor belt assembly 3; the adjustment component is set in the mounting slot; the feeding conveyor belt assembly 3 is provided in two sets, and the two sets of feeding conveyor belt assemblies 3 are symmetrically installed at the output end of the adjustment component, and the two sets of feeding conveyor belt assemblies 3 are driven to move closer or further apart from each other by the adjustment component.
[0020] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly includes a bidirectional lead screw 2, a guide rod 201, and a movable seat 202. Two sets of bidirectional lead screws 2 are symmetrically rotatably connected in the mounting groove, and the bidirectional lead screws 2 are driven to rotate by a motor installed in the inner cavity of the base 1. Two sets of guide rods 201 are installed on the mounting groove and correspond to the bidirectional lead screws 2. Four sets of movable seats 202 are symmetrically sleeved between the bidirectional lead screws 2 and the guide rods 201. The movable seats 202 are threadedly connected to the bidirectional lead screws 2 and slidably connected to the guide rods 201. The top ends of the two sets of movable seats 202 located on the same side of the two sets of bidirectional lead screws 2 are connected to the bottom end of the feeding conveyor belt assembly 3.
[0021] Furthermore, the sorting mechanism includes electric push rods 4 and a material conveyor belt assembly 5. Multiple sets of electric push rods 4 are evenly distributed inside the mounting groove. A sorting conveyor belt assembly 401 is installed at the output end of each electric push rod 4. The conveying direction of the sorting conveyor belt assembly 401 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the feeding conveyor belt assembly 3. Two sets of material conveyor belt assemblies 5 are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the sorting conveyor belt assembly 401. One end of each material conveyor belt assembly 5 is detachably connected to the corresponding feeding conveyor belt assembly 3 via bolts. The other end of each material conveyor belt assembly 5 is equipped with a movable wheel 501, which is rotatably connected to the base 1. A guide groove 102 is provided at the top of the base 1, and the movable wheel 501 is connected to the guide groove 102 to limit its position, thereby improving the connection stability between the material conveyor belt assembly 5 and the feeding conveyor belt assembly 3. The material conveyor belt assembly 5 is inclined on the base 1 to facilitate the conveying of the sorted battery cells towards the receiving cart.
[0022] In this embodiment, the receiving cart is connected to the guide conveyor belt assembly 5. The bidirectional lead screw 2 is driven to rotate by the motor. Under the guidance of the guide rod 201, the two sets of moving seats 202 on both sides of the two sets of bidirectional lead screw 2 move closer or further away from each other, thereby driving the two sets of feeding conveyor belt assemblies 3 to move closer or further away from each other. This can be adjusted according to the size of the battery cells to be sorted and conveyed, making it more applicable. Starting the two sets of feeding conveyor belt assemblies 3 can convey the battery cells, which is convenient for the sorting mechanism to sort them. When the two sets of feeding conveyor belt assemblies 3 are adjusted to move closer or further away from each other, the corresponding guide conveyor belt assembly 5 on the feeding conveyor belt assembly 3 can be driven to roll along the base 1 through the moving wheel 501. At the same time, the receiving cart is driven to move along the base 1 through the guide conveyor belt assembly 5, which facilitates the smooth sorting of the battery cells and avoids them falling off.
[0023] When the solar cells are conveyed to the appropriate position along the feeding conveyor belt assembly 3, the electric push rod 4 starts and drives the sorting conveyor belt assembly 401 to rise, so that the height of the conveyor belt on the sorting conveyor belt assembly 401 is higher than the height of the feeding conveyor belt assembly 3. Then, the sorting conveyor belt assembly 401 conveys the corresponding solar cells to the corresponding guide conveyor belt assemblies 5 on both sides of the feeding conveyor belt assembly 3. When the solar cells are conveyed to the guide conveyor belt assembly 5, the guide conveyor belt assembly 5 starts and conveys the solar cells to the receiving car through the corresponding conveyor belt, thereby completing the sorting work, reducing wear and achieving high sorting efficiency.
[0024] Example 2
[0025] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the fully automatic battery cell sorting device proposed in this utility model, compared with Embodiment 1, includes a receiving cart 6 and a sliding seat 605. The moving cart 6 is detachably connected to the output end of the guide conveyor belt assembly 5. Two sets of picking ports 602 are symmetrically opened on the moving cart 6. A buffer pad 603 is provided on the inner wall of the moving cart 6 near the picking port 602. When the battery cells are conveyed into the moving cart 6 by the guide conveyor belt assembly 5, it can protect them and prevent them from being damaged. An inclined part 101 is connected to the base 1 to facilitate the movement of the moving cart 6. The sliding seat 605 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the moving cart 6. Multiple sets of buffer springs 604 are installed at the bottom of the sliding seat 605. The bottom of the buffer springs 604 is connected to the bottom of the inside of the moving cart 6.
[0026] Furthermore, two sets of limiting plates 502 are symmetrically rotatably connected to the end of the guide conveyor belt assembly 5 away from the feeding conveyor belt assembly 3. An arc-shaped opening 503 is opened at the other end of the limiting plate 502. Two sets of screws 601 are symmetrically arranged on the moving vehicle 6. The arc-shaped opening 503 is connected to the screw 601. A nut is threaded on the screw 601. The nut presses the limiting plate 502 against the side wall of the moving vehicle 6.
[0027] In this embodiment, the battery cells fall onto the sliding seat 605 inside the mobile cart 6. As the battery cells are stacked, the lifting weight increases, which in turn presses down the sliding seat 605. At the same time, the buffer spring 604 is compressed, and the stacked battery cells gradually move down along the mobile cart 6, which facilitates the material conveyor belt assembly 5 to transport the battery cells into the mobile cart 6 for collection. Loosen the nut so that it no longer abuts against the limiting plate 502, and rotate the limiting plate 502 so that the arc-shaped opening 503 moves away from the screw 601. At this time, the mobile cart 6 is no longer limited to the material conveyor belt assembly 5, and the mobile cart 6 can be moved out along the inclined part 101 for the next step of transportation.
[0028] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
