Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of storage battery production equipment, and in particular relates to a vibration feeding and cap-retrieving mechanism for an automatic cap-covering machine. Background Technology
[0002] The battery manufacturing process includes a cap installation step. In the current production process, an automatic cap machine is used to pick up and put in the caps to achieve automatic installation.
[0003] For example, Chinese utility model CN208797183U discloses a capping machine for battery boxes, which includes a vibrating feeding mechanism for conveying caps. The position of the vibrating feeding mechanism corresponds to the position of the positioning cylinder. After the vacuum nozzle moves down, it sucks up the caps conveyed by the vibrating feeding mechanism.
[0004] While existing technologies have solved the problem of positioning and picking up caps, the vibrating feeding mechanism often causes the caps to deform due to compression during the conveying of caps. This can lead to inaccurate or inability to pick up caps after the vacuum nozzle moves down, resulting in caps being missed and thus seriously affecting overall production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vibratory feeding and cap-retrieving mechanism for an automatic cap-covering machine. By using a cap-retrieving sliding plate, the caps in the single cap slot are misaligned with the sliding channel, preventing the caps from being squeezed and deformed. This solves the problem of caps being easily missed and affecting production efficiency in existing machines.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0007] This utility model relates to a vibratory feeding and cap-retrieving mechanism for an automatic cap-covering machine, comprising a cap-retrieving plate, a cap-retrieving sliding plate, and a telescopic cylinder. The upper surface of the cap-retrieving plate is provided with a sliding channel and several cap-channel slots. Each cap-channel slot is perpendicular to and connected to the sliding channel. The width of the cap-channel slots is adapted to the diameter of the caps, allowing the caps to be arranged sequentially within the slots. The cap-retrieving sliding plate is slidably connected within the sliding channel. The sliding channel has individual cap slots corresponding one-to-one with the cap-channel slots, and each individual cap slot can only accommodate one cap. The telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder is connected to the cap-retrieving sliding plate. When an individual cap slot aligns with a cap-channel slot, the cap enters the individual cap slot, and the telescopic cylinder moves the cap-retrieving sliding plate, causing the caps in the individual cap slots to be misaligned with the sliding channel.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, several of the described leather cap channel grooves are symmetrically arranged relative to the sliding channel.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a cover plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the cap removal compartment plate. The cover plate has a cap removal opening that is offset from the cap channel groove. The cap removal sliding plate moves to drive the caps in the single cap groove to correspond one-to-one with the cap removal opening.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the depth of the cap channel groove and the single cap groove is adapted to the height of the cap.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, it also includes an installation platform plate, which is connected to the cap removal compartment plate through a number of connecting columns.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the telescopic cylinder is fixedly connected to the cap removal chamber plate or the mounting platform plate through a cylinder bracket.
[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] This invention utilizes a cap-removing sliding plate slidably connected to a sliding channel. The sliding channel has individual cap slots that correspond one-to-one with the cap channel slots. When an individual cap slot aligns with a cap channel slot, the cap enters the individual cap slot. A telescopic cylinder drives the cap-removing sliding plate to move, causing the cap in the individual cap slot to be misaligned with the sliding channel. This prevents the cap from being squeezed and deformed, effectively improving the accuracy and reliability of the vacuum nozzle in adsorbing caps. It also effectively prevents caps from being missed or misplaced, ensuring overall production efficiency.
[0015] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0025] 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.
[0026] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inner", "around" and other terms indicating orientation or positional relationship are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
[0027] Please see Figure 1 and 2 As shown, this utility model is a vibratory feeding and cap-retrieving mechanism for an automatic cap-covering machine, including a cap-retrieving plate 1, a cap-retrieving sliding plate 2, and a telescopic cylinder 3. The upper surface of the cap-retrieving plate 1 is provided with a rectangular sliding groove 101 and six cap-covering channel grooves 102.
[0028] The platform plate 5 is also installed, which is connected to the cap-removing compartment plate 1 via four connecting columns 501. This facilitates the installation and fixing of the cap-removing compartment mechanism via the platform plate 5, and also allows for the adjustment of the height of the cap-removing compartment plate 1 by selecting connecting columns 501 of different lengths.
[0029] Six cap channel slots 102 are all perpendicular to and connected to the sliding channel 101. The six cap channel slots 102 are symmetrically arranged relative to the sliding channel 101. Each cap channel slot 102 is connected to the cap channel of the vibrating feeding mechanism, allowing the vibrating feeding mechanism to sequentially feed the caps into the cap channel slot 102. Furthermore, the width of the cap channel slot 102 is adapted to the diameter of the cap, ensuring that the caps 6 are arranged sequentially within the cap channel slot 102.
[0030] The cap removal sliding plate 2 is slidably connected to the sliding channel 101. The sliding channel 101 has a single cap groove 201 that corresponds one-to-one with the cap channel groove 102. The inner bottom surface of the single cap groove 201 is not higher than the inner bottom surface of the cap channel groove 102, and only one cap 6 can be accommodated in the single cap groove 201.
[0031] The telescopic cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the cap-removing chamber plate 1 or the mounting platform plate 5 via a cylinder bracket. The telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 3 is connected to the end of the cap-removing sliding plate 2, and the telescopic cylinder 3 drives the cap-removing sliding plate 2 to move in position in the sliding channel 101 through the telescopic movement of the telescopic cylinder 3.
[0032] The cap-removing compartment plate 1 has a cover plate 4 fixedly connected to its upper surface by screws. The cover plate 4 can be a metal plate, a plastic plate, or a transparent acrylic plate. The cover plate 4 has six cap-removing openings 401, and the six cap-removing openings 401 are staggered with the cap channel groove 102.
[0033] Meanwhile, the depths of the cap channel groove 102 and the single cap groove 201 are adapted to the height of the cap 6, so that the diameter and height directions of the cap 6 within the cap channel groove 102 and the single cap groove 201 are both limited, thereby ensuring the stability of the cap 6.
[0034] like Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the cover plate 4 is a transparent acrylic plate. When the single cap groove 201 of the cap removal sliding plate 2 corresponds to the cap channel groove 102, the cap 6 near the cap removal sliding plate 2 is squeezed into the single cap groove 201 under the feeding action of the vibrating feeding mechanism.
[0035] like Figure 5 and 6As shown, after the cap 6 enters the single cap slot 201, the telescopic cylinder 3 drives the cap-removing sliding plate 2 to move, causing the cap 6 in the single cap slot 201 to be misaligned with the sliding channel 101. After the cap-removing sliding plate 2 moves, the cap 6 in the single cap slot 201 corresponds one-to-one with the cap-removing opening 401. At this position, the cap 6 in the single cap slot 201 will not be squeezed by the cap in the cap channel groove 102, thus avoiding deformation of the cap 6 in the single cap slot 201. This helps to improve the accuracy and reliability of the vacuum nozzle adsorbing the cap 6 through the cap-removing opening 401, effectively avoiding the situation of caps being missed or not installed, and ensuring overall production efficiency.
[0036] After the cap is removed, the telescopic cylinder 3 drives the cap removal sliding plate 2 to move and reset, so that the cap 6 in the cap channel groove 102 is squeezed into the single cap groove 201 again, and the cap 6 is removed in this cycle.
[0037] Preferably, when the cap removal sliding plate 2 drives the cap 6 in the single cap groove 201 to correspond with the cap removal opening 401, the end of the cap removal sliding plate 2 abuts against the inner end wall of the sliding channel 101, thereby enabling the positioning of the moving position of the cap removal sliding plate 2, ensuring the accuracy of the correspondence between the cap 6 and the cap removal opening 401, and thus improving the overall reliability of use.
