Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of disc electrode feeding technology, and in particular relates to a disc electrode feeder. Background Technology

[0002] A disc-type tab feeder is a specialized device for processing tabs in the lithium-ion battery production process. It is mainly used to accurately feed tab materials into the battery manufacturing process, ensuring the accurate position and good connection of the tabs.

[0003] A search revealed a feeding machine for processing disc-shaped electrodes in patent document CN220392527U, relating to the field of feeding machine technology. It includes an outer casing with a storage cavity at its upper end and a feeding cavity at its lower end; a rotating disk located inside the outer casing, positioned between the storage cavity and the feeding cavity, rotatably connected to the outer casing, with a transfer cavity on its periphery; a discharge cavity at the bottom of the storage cavity; and a drive motor fixed inside the outer casing to drive the rotating disk. Through the overall structure of the device, the rotation of the rotating disk drives the transfer cavity to rotate, enabling the temporarily stored disc-shaped electrodes in the storage cavity to be quantitatively transported to the feeding cavity. The continuous rotation of the rotating disk ensures the continuous and quantitative transfer of disc-shaped electrodes, making the transfer of disc-shaped electrodes more convenient.

[0004] However, it still has the following drawbacks in practical use:

[0005] 1. The aforementioned feeder for processing disc-type electrode tabs includes a rotating disc disposed inside an outer housing, positioned between a storage chamber and a feeding chamber. The rotating disc is rotatably connected to the outer housing. A transfer chamber is formed on the periphery of the rotating disc, facilitating the conveying and quantitative measurement of the processed parts. A discharge chamber is formed at the bottom of the storage chamber, allowing the processed parts inside the storage chamber to be easily introduced into the transfer chamber on the rotating disc. Rotating the rotating disc causes the transfer chamber to rotate, moving it from the lower end of the discharge chamber to the upper end of the feeding chamber, thereby conveying the processed parts from the storage chamber to the feeding chamber. A drive motor is fixed inside the outer housing to drive the rotating disc. Specifically, a second bevel gear is fixed to the output end of the drive motor. A connecting shaft is fixed to the side of the rotating disc near the drive motor, and a first bevel gear is fixed to the end of the connecting shaft away from the rotating disc. The second bevel gear meshes with the first bevel gear, and the first bevel gear and the second bevel gear are connected through the meshing of the first bevel gear and the second bevel gear. The meshing connection of the wheels allows the drive motor to rotate the rotating disk via the connecting shaft when it starts. The lifting push rod is fixed inside the lower end of the outer housing, and the output end of the lifting push rod is fixed with a push frame, the position of which corresponds to the position of the feeding chamber. By pushing the push frame with the lifting push rod, the processed parts inside the feeding chamber can be pushed outward, realizing the discharge of the processed parts. It can be seen that the processed parts can be pre-placed in the storage chamber for temporary storage. The processed parts can slide down through the unloading chamber into the transfer chamber opened by the rotating disk. By starting the drive motor, the rotating disk is rotated, moving the transfer chamber from the lower end of the storage chamber to the upper end of the feeding chamber, thus causing the processed parts inside the transfer chamber to fall into the feeding chamber. By starting the lifting push rod, the push frame is moved inside the feeding chamber, finally pushing the processed parts inside the feeding chamber outward, realizing the discharge. However, the operation steps are numerous, which increases the workload of the workers and makes it inconvenient to guide the disc-type electrode onto different conveyor belts, which may lead to congestion on the same conveyor belt.

[0006] 2. In the above-mentioned feeding machine for processing disc-type electrode tabs, the agitation assembly includes a connecting plate. Fixed slide rails are fixed at both the upper and lower ends of the connecting plate, and these fixed slide rails are fixedly connected to the outer casing. A second drive motor is fixed to the side of the connecting plate away from the outer casing. A drive gear is fixed to the output end of the second drive motor, and the drive gear is located on the side of the connecting plate closer to the outer casing. Moving plates are positioned above and below the drive gear, and the two moving plates are laterally slidably connected to the two fixed slide rails. Rollers are fixed to both ends of the moving plates to facilitate lateral sliding guidance. Each moving plate is slidably connected to a corresponding fixed slide rail via two rollers; both moving plates are meshed with a drive gear plate; both ends of the moving plates near the outer casing are fixed with agitators, and the end of the agitator away from the moving plate passes through the outer casing and extends into the storage cavity. In order to reduce damage to the disc tabs of the agitators, the agitators are made of elastic rubber rods. However, during the feeding process of the disc tabs, different drive mechanisms need to be activated, which will increase the power consumption of the above-mentioned disc tab processing feeder, thus hindering the purpose of saving electricity.

[0007] To address these issues, we provide a disc-type electrode feeder. Utility Model Content

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example 1

[0031] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 This utility model is a disc electrode feeder, including a material frame 1. The lower surface of the material frame 1 is provided with a feeding component 2. The feeding component 2 includes a hollow square tube 201, a bracket 201a, a bolt 201b, an upper through groove 201c, a lower through groove 201d, a movable stop block 202, a limit block 202a, an ear seat 202b, a feeding groove 202c, a hydraulic cylinder 203, a hydraulic rod 203a, and a feeding pipe 204. By controlling the hydraulic cylinder 203, the hydraulic rod 203a extends or retracts, thereby causing the disc electrode inside the material frame 1 to be discharged at equal intervals. At the same time, two feeding pipes 204 and two lower through grooves 201d are provided to send the disc electrode to different conveyor belts, thereby avoiding crowding of personnel on the same conveyor belt.

[0032] Specifically, the lower surface of the material frame 1 is connected to the discharge hopper 101. An upper through groove 201c is formed in the middle of the upper surface of the hollow square tube 201. The lower end of the discharge hopper 101 is connected to the interior of the upper through groove 201c. A bracket 201a is connected to the upper surface of the hollow square tube 201. The upper surface of the bracket 201a contacts the outer wall of the discharge hopper 101. A bolt 201b is threaded onto the inner top of the bracket 201a. The bolt 201b is threaded onto the outer wall of the discharge hopper 101. The lower surface of the hollow square tube 201 has symmetrically arranged... The lower channel 201d is connected to the lower surface of the lower channel 201d and the feeding pipe 204 is connected to it. The movable stop 202 is sleeved inside the hollow square tube 201, and the upper surface of the movable stop 202 is provided with a feeding groove 202c. The limiting block 202a is connected to the end of the movable stop 202, and the ear seat 202b is fixed to the side wall of the limiting block 202a.

After the feeding trough 202c is aligned with the upper through groove 201c, the disc-shaped electrode ear inside the material frame 1 enters the interior of the feeding trough 202c through the discharge hopper 101 and the upper through groove 201c. The disc-shaped electrode ear inside the feeding trough 202c moves towards a lower through groove 201d. When the feeding trough 202c is aligned with a lower through groove 201d... After 01d is aligned, the disc electrode inside the feeding trough 202c falls onto the conveyor belt through a lower channel 201d and a feeding pipe 204; when the hydraulic rod 203a extends, the feeding trough 202c moves upward through channel 201c again, and the disc electrode inside the material frame 1 enters the feeding trough 202c again. The disc electrode inside the feeding trough 202c moves to another lower channel 201d. After the feeding trough 202c is aligned with another lower channel 201d, the disc electrode inside the feeding trough 202c falls onto the conveyor belt through another lower channel 201d and another feeding pipe 204.
