[0002] In the production process of button batteries, the storage of batteries is crucial, as it directly affects the quality assurance of batteries and the smoothness and efficiency of the entire production process. However, existing button battery storage silos often have many shortcomings in practical applications and cannot adequately meet the diverse needs of manufacturers in different scenarios.
[0003] For the storage and management of batteries in the silo, traditional storage silos mostly lack positioning and limiting structures. Batteries are usually simply stacked in the silo. During daily handling, retrieval, and long-term storage, they are prone to collision and displacement. This disorderly storage not only makes the batteries look messy and disorganized, making it difficult to quickly and accurately find and retrieve specific batteries, but also causes the batteries to shake and rub against each other due to frequent collisions and displacement, resulting in scratches, wear and other damage to the battery appearance and affecting the integrity of the battery appearance.

[0021] The mounting component 3 includes a fixing block 31. A soft pad 33 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing block 31. The soft pad 33 can buffer and increase friction when in contact with other compartments 1.

The outer wall of the fixing block 31 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the compartment 1. An mounting block 34 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the compartment 1. An mounting column 35 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting block 34. A threaded block 36 is fixedly connected to the side of the compartment 1 near the mounting block 34.

[0022] The wall of the fixing block 31 is provided with a sliding groove 32, and the sliding groove 32 is linearly arrayed along the outer wall of the fixing block 31. The outer wall of the top of the mounting plate 37 is engaged with the outer wall of the locking block 55. The outer wall of the mounting plate 37 is slidably connected with the inner wall of the connecting shell 54. On the one hand, the mounting plate 37 provides a positioning reference for the installation of the storage component 5 in the compartment 1, ensuring that the storage component 5 can be accurately installed in the appropriate position. On the other hand, its engagement with the locking block 55 further enhances the stability of the storage component 5 in the compartment 1.
[0023] Working principle:
[0024] This storage hopper for button battery production mainly consists of a hopper body 1, a cover plate 2, an installation component 3, a flip plate 4, and a storage component 5. The hopper body 1 serves as the main frame of the entire storage hopper, providing space for the button batteries. Its top is connected to the cover plate 2 via a hinge. The cover plate 2 can close the top opening of the hopper body 1, providing a certain degree of protection and preventing external impurities from entering the hopper body 1 and affecting battery storage. The flip plate 4 is arranged in a linear array along the outer wall of the cover plate 2. It can be easily opened or closed when needed by rotating, which helps operators to place or remove button batteries into the hopper body 1.
[0025] Mounting component 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the hopper 1. Its main function is to achieve a stable and convenient connection between the two hoppers 1. Through a specific plug-in method, it ensures that the position of multiple hoppers 1 is accurate and the connection is firm when used in combination, so as to meet the storage needs of button batteries of different sizes. Storage component 5 has a sliding connection with mounting component 3. It is located inside the hopper 1 and is the key part to realize the storage and positioning of button batteries. Through its own structural characteristics, it applies a certain limiting force to the button batteries, so that the batteries can be stored in the hopper in an orderly manner and prevent them from moving or scattering at will.
[0026] The storage component 5 consists of a connecting shell 54, a top plate 51, a spring plate 52, a bottom plate 53, and a locking block 55. These components work together to realize the function of storing button batteries.
[0027] The connecting shell 54 serves as the basic structure of the storage component 5, providing connection and support for other components. The top plates 51 are arranged in a linear array along the outer wall of the connecting shell 54, which limit the button batteries from above, preventing them from moving upwards within the compartment 1. The bottom plates 53 are also arranged in a linear array along the outer wall of the connecting shell 54, providing bottom support for the button batteries and ensuring that they can be placed stably within the storage component 5. The spring plates 52 are fixedly connected to the corners around the top plates 51. The spring plates 52 have a certain elastic deformation capability. When the button batteries are placed between the top plates 51 and the bottom plates 53, the spring plates 52 will deform appropriately due to the pressure of the batteries, and then use their own elastic reaction force to firmly hold the button batteries from above and below, thus restricting the button batteries to a relatively fixed position in the horizontal direction. This prevents them from colliding or shifting within the compartment 1, helps maintain the neatness and stability of the battery placement, and also reduces the appearance damage or performance impact that may be caused by shaking or friction.
[0028] The locking block 55 is fixedly connected to the inner walls on both sides of the connecting shell 54. Its function is to cooperate with the mounting plate 37 inside the compartment 1 and further fix the position of the storage component 5 inside the compartment 1 by locking, so as to ensure that the storage component 5 will not easily move during the storage and retrieval of the battery, thereby ensuring the reliability of the entire storage structure and facilitating the orderly management of the button battery in the future.
[0029] The mounting component 3 is mainly responsible for the connection between the compartments 1. It consists of components such as a fixing block 31, a soft pad 33, a mounting block 34, a mounting column 35, a threaded block 36, and a mounting plate 37. The components work together to achieve a reliable connection of the compartments 1.
[0030] The fixing block 31 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the chamber 1. The soft pad 33 on its outer wall can buffer and increase friction when in contact with other chambers 1, on the one hand, avoiding damage caused by rigid collisions between components during the connection process, and on the other hand, making the connection more stable. The mounting block 34 is also fixed to the outer wall of the chamber 1, and its inner wall is slidably connected to the mounting column 35. The mounting column 35 can move up and down within a certain range within the mounting block 34. The threaded block 36 is fixedly connected to the side of the chamber 1 near the mounting block 34, and its inner wall is threadedly connected to the bottom of the mounting column 35. When it is necessary to connect the two sets of chambers 1, When connecting, first slide the mounting column 35 out of the mounting block 34, and align the fixing block 31 on the two sets of bins 1 with the mounting block 34, ensuring that the fixing block 31 and the sliding groove 32 on the mounting block 34 are aligned. Then, pass the mounting block 34 through the fixing block 31 and the mounting block 34, and slide the mounting column 35 to the threaded block 36. Then, rotate the mounting column 35 so that it is screwed into the threaded groove in the threaded block 36. The position of the two sets of bins 1 can be restricted by the fixing block 31 and the mounting block 34. This connection method is relatively convenient to operate, and the stability after connection can meet the structural requirements of the storage bin during use.
[0031] Mounting plates 37 are arranged in a linear array along the outer wall of the hopper 1. They are not only fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hopper 1, but also engage with the locking blocks 55 of the storage components 5. On the one hand, mounting plates 37 provide a positioning reference for the installation of storage components 5 in the hopper 1, ensuring that storage components 5 can be accurately installed in the appropriate position. On the other hand, their engagement with the locking blocks 55 further enhances the stability of storage components 5 in the hopper 1, making the connection between the internal structures of the entire storage hopper tighter and more reliable, ensuring that button batteries can be stored in a stable structural environment.
[0032] In actual use, the main components, including the hopper body 1, cover plate 2, mounting components 3, flip plate 4, and storage components 5, work closely together to ensure the normal operation of the storage hopper and the proper storage of the button batteries.
[0033] The compartment 1 serves as the basic frame, providing the necessary space and support for the installation and operation of other components. Its internal structure is compatible with the storage component 5, while its external wall structure is compatible with the installation component 3, ensuring that each component can be accurately installed and operate stably. The cover 2 is connected to the compartment 1 via a hinge, allowing it to be opened and closed flexibly. It is opened when batteries need to be placed into or removed from the compartment 1, and kept closed during normal operation to protect the batteries. Furthermore, the flip plate 4 on the cover 2 further enhances the ease of operation, facilitating partial operations without having to fully open the cover 2.
[0034] The mounting component 3, through the cooperation between its various parts, achieves a stable and easy-to-operate connection between the silos 1. It also works in conjunction with the storage component 5, ensuring the proper installation and stability of the storage component 5 within the silos 1 through the connection relationship between the mounting plate 37 and other components. Its connection method and structural characteristics are consistent with the overall structure of the silos 1 and the installation and use requirements of the storage component 5, ensuring the requirements of the entire storage silo in terms of combined use and internal structural stability.
[0035] Storage component 5 utilizes the characteristics of its various components to effectively limit and store button batteries. It works closely with the mounting plate 37 and other structures inside the compartment 1 to ensure its own positional stability. At the same time, during daily battery storage and retrieval, it coordinates with the operation of components such as cover 2 and flip plate 4. For example, after opening cover 2 and flip plate 4, it is convenient to put in or take out batteries without compromising its structural stability or the orderly storage of batteries due to frequent operations.
[0036] Through the coordinated operation of the hopper body 1, cover plate 2, mounting components 3, flip plate 4, and storage components 5, this storage hopper for button battery production can provide a relatively stable and easy-to-manage storage environment for button batteries during the button battery production process, meet the storage needs of button batteries at different production stages, help ensure the smooth progress of the production process, and has certain practical value in the button battery production field.
