Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a feeding mechanism, specifically a bare battery cell feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of new energy lithium battery technology, consumers are paying more and more attention to its range. Until a breakthrough in solid-state batteries is achieved, in addition to increasing the energy density of the battery by arranging the bare cells, another way to improve the range of power batteries is to increase the capacity of individual cells. The larger the individual cell, the larger the bare cell it is wound. This makes the bare cell thicker and heavier. When it is paired with other cells after winding, it is easy for the robotic arm to detach it, resulting in scrap. Generally, the positive and negative electrode materials of the bare cell are coated with composite materials such as graphite and lithium cobalt oxide as electrode materials. The coating is only 6 micrometers thick. When the robotic arm grasps the cell with excessive force, it can easily cause cracks, decarburization and powdering, thus affecting the energy density of the battery. In order to avoid such problems, this utility model designs a bare cell feeding mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a bare battery cell loading mechanism. The loading suction cup of this mechanism adopts a T-shaped design, which ensures both the suction strength and the suction area.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a bare battery cell loading mechanism, comprising a cylinder mounting plate, an optical axis support seat, an optical axis, a double-cylinder cylinder, a 90-degree connecting block, a load-bearing block mounting plate, a load-bearing rear connecting block, a load-bearing front connecting block, a load-bearing block, a T-shaped suction cup frame, a small suction cup, and a large suction cup. The optical axis is mounted on the cylinder mounting plate via the optical axis support seat. A slider on the optical axis is connected to both sides of the rear of the load-bearing block mounting plate via the 90-degree connecting block. A double-cylinder cylinder is positioned between the optical axes and connected to the load-bearing block mounting plate via a cylinder rod. A load-bearing rear connecting block is mounted at the rear of the load-bearing block mounting plate, and a load-bearing front connecting block is positioned at the front of the load-bearing block mounting plate. Load-bearing blocks are mounted on the rear and front connecting blocks. A T-shaped suction cup frame is mounted below the rear connecting block. A large suction cup is mounted at the bottom center of the T-shaped suction cup frame, and small suction cups are mounted at the three bottom ends of the T-shaped suction cup frame.

[0005] Preferably, the small and large suction cups are used to attach to the bare battery cell.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The structural design of this utility model is reasonable and efficient, perfectly solving the problems of the battery cell surface coating being damaged due to its thickness and difficulty in being attracted or excessive attraction. Attached Figure Description

[0007] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments;

[0008] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0009] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0010] Reference Figure 1 The specific embodiment adopts the following technical solution: a bare battery cell loading mechanism, including a cylinder mounting plate 1, an optical axis support seat 2, an optical axis 3, a double-cylinder cylinder 4, a 90-degree connecting block 5, a load-bearing block mounting plate 6, a load-bearing rear connecting block 7, a load-bearing front connecting block 8, a load-bearing block 9, a T-shaped suction cup frame 10, a small suction cup 11, and a large suction cup 12. The optical axis 3 is mounted on the cylinder mounting plate 1 through the optical axis support seat 2. The slider on the optical axis 3 is connected to the rear two sides of the load-bearing block mounting plate 6 through the 90-degree connecting block 5. A double-cylinder cylinder 4 is installed between the optical axes 3. The double-cylinder cylinder 4 is connected to the load-bearing block mounting plate 6 through the cylinder rod. A load-bearing rear connecting block 7 is installed at the rear of the load-bearing block mounting plate 6. A load-bearing front connecting block 8 is installed at the front of the load-bearing block mounting plate 6. Load-bearing blocks 9 are installed on the load-bearing rear connecting block 7 and the load-bearing front connecting block 8. A T-shaped suction cup frame 10 is installed below the load-bearing rear connecting block 7. A large suction cup 12 is installed at the bottom center of the T-shaped suction cup frame 10. Small suction cups 11 are installed at the three ends of the bottom of the T-shaped suction cup frame 10.

[0011] It is worth noting that the small suction cup 11 and the large suction cup 12 are adsorbed and engaged with the bare battery cell 13.

[0012] The working principle of this specific implementation method is as follows: After the robotic arm positions the feeding mechanism to the bare battery cell position, the double-cylinder drives the T-shaped suction cup to the surface of the battery cell. The suction cup uses negative pressure vacuum to hold the battery cell to other workstations to complete the pairing.

[0013] This specific implementation ensures the stability and reliability of the entire mechanism through the rational design of components such as the optical axis, 90-degree connecting block, and load-bearing block. The combination of large and small suction cups effectively adsorbs bare battery cells of different sizes and shapes, improving adsorption efficiency and accuracy. The cooperation of a double-cylinder and a robotic arm enables automatic feeding of bare battery cells, reducing manual intervention and increasing production efficiency. The position and number of suction cups can be adjusted according to different production needs to accommodate various bare battery cell feeding requirements.

[0014] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
