Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery feeding technology, specifically to a feeding mechanism for battery production. Background Technology

[0002] Battery cells are an indispensable source of power in daily life and industrial production, with a very large demand. Therefore, production efficiency is a crucial factor affecting the profitability of battery cell manufacturing companies. During the battery cell production process, the cells need to be removed from their storage boxes and loaded onto the corresponding workstations. The traditional method involves manually removing the vertically stored cells from the boxes, turning them to a horizontal position, and then placing them on the assembly line for transport. This method is not only inefficient but also labor-intensive. To solve these problems, battery cell loading equipment is needed.

[0003] Existing technologies, such as the battery feeding mechanism disclosed in utility model patent publication number CN221499800U, include a feeding conveying component moving along the Y-axis, a picking component, and a staggered conveying component moving along the X-axis. The staggered conveying component includes an upper storage fixture, a lower storage fixture, a first driving member, and a second driving member. The upper storage fixture has an opening, and the lower storage fixture is located below it. The output ends of the first and second driving members are both connected to the lower storage fixture. The upper storage fixture has an upper storage trough that communicates with the opening. The picking component includes a support frame, a Z-axis pushing component, a Y-axis pushing component, an X-axis pushing component, and a magnetic suction device. The magnetic suction device has several magnetic suction elements, which can attract batteries from the battery box and drop them vertically along the upper storage trough until they are placed flat inside. This utility model has advantages such as high efficiency, good stability, good safety, and high accuracy.

[0004] The device can limit the position of containers of different widths, but the position of the magnetic components on the magnetic device is fixed and cannot be adjusted according to the width of the container and the distribution of the battery cells inside the container, resulting in a narrow range of applications and low practicality.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new technical solution to overcome the above-mentioned defects. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a feeding mechanism for battery production that can effectively solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0007] To achieve the purpose of this utility model, the following technical solution is adopted: a feeding mechanism for battery production, comprising: a base, a material picking component, and a replacement component for easy replacement of the material picking component;

[0008] The replacement component includes: a second electric push rod, with movable blocks fixedly connected to both ends of the second electric push rod, the movable blocks being slidably mounted on the lifting frame, and an insert block being fixedly connected to the movable block, the insert block sliding and passing through a fixed plate, the fixed plate being mounted on the material handling component.

[0009] Furthermore, the material-retrieving component consists of a mounting plate, a limiting sleeve fixedly mounted on the mounting plate, and a magnetic suction component fixedly mounted inside the limiting sleeve.

[0010] Furthermore, the fixing plate is fixedly installed at both ends of the top of the mounting plate, and the limiting sleeves are linearly distributed on the mounting plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the range of motion of the moving block at the bottom of the second electric actuator is much smaller than the range of motion of the other moving block.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention provides a feeding mechanism for battery production, in which two moving blocks are pushed apart by the two ends of a second electric push rod. The moving block located at the bottom of the second electric push rod contacts the fixed plate before the other moving block, and the insert passes through the fixed plate. Then the other moving block contacts the other fixed plate, so that both inserts pass through the fixed plate and fix the feeding component. When it is necessary to disassemble, the second electric push rod retracts, so that the inserts are detached from the fixed plate, making it easy to replace the feeding component.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.

[0021] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "lateral," "longitudinal," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "upper," "lower," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element 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 on the scope of protection of this utility model. When a mechanism is referred to as being "fixed to" another mechanism, it can be directly on the other mechanism or there may be an intervening mechanism. When a mechanism is considered to be "connected" to another mechanism, it can be directly connected to the other mechanism or there may be an intervening mechanism at the same time. When a mechanism is considered to be "set on" another mechanism, it can be directly set on the other mechanism or there may be an intervening mechanism at the same time. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention provides a battery production feeding mechanism, comprising: a base 1, a holding box 7, a material picking component, a feeding assembly 8 for transporting the holding box 7, a replacement assembly 9 for facilitating the replacement of the material picking component, and a material transfer assembly 10 for transferring battery cells.

[0023] A support rod 2 is fixedly installed on the base 1. A lower support plate 3 and an upper support plate 4 are fixedly installed on the support rod 2. A cylinder 5 is fixedly installed on the upper support plate 4. A first electric push rod is fixedly installed on the lower support plate 3. A feeding belt 6 is installed below the lower support plate 3 and is installed above the base 1.

[0024] The replacement component 9 includes: a second electric push rod 94, with movable blocks 95 fixedly connected to both ends of the second electric push rod 94. The movable blocks 95 are slidably mounted on the lifting frame 91. The lifting frame 91 is fixedly connected to the piston of the cylinder 5, and a limit sleeve is installed between the lifting frame 91 and the upper support plate 4 to limit the lifting frame 91 and prevent it from shaking. The moving range of the movable block 95 at the bottom of the second electric push rod 94 is much smaller than the moving range of the other movable block 95, so that the movable block 95 at the bottom of the second electric push rod 94 can move to the end of the lifting frame 91 before the other movable block 95. An insert is fixedly connected to the movable block 95. The insert slides and passes through the fixing plate, which is mounted on the material handling component.

[0025] The material handling component consists of a mounting plate 92, a limiting sleeve 93 fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 92, and a magnetic suction component 96 fixedly mounted inside the limiting sleeve 93. The fixing plate is fixedly mounted on both ends of the top of the mounting plate 92, and the limiting sleeves 93 are linearly distributed on the mounting plate 92. The limiting sleeves 93 limit the battery cell to prevent it from deflecting when it is attracted to the magnetic suction component 96, which would cause the two ends of the battery cell to contact the magnetic suction component, thereby causing the battery cell to heat up and affecting the quality of the battery cell.

[0026] The two moving blocks 95 are pushed apart by the two ends of the second electric push rod 94. The moving block 95 located at the bottom of the second electric push rod 94 contacts the fixed plate before the other moving block 95, and the insert passes through the fixed plate. Then the other moving block 95 contacts the other fixed plate, so that both inserts pass through the fixed plate and fix the picking part. When it is necessary to disassemble, the second electric push rod 94 retracts, so that the inserts are separated from the fixed plate, which makes it easy to replace the picking part. For different widths of the holding box 7 and the distribution of the battery cells inside the holding box 7, the magnetic suction component 96 can be appropriately distributed to install the picking part on the lifting frame 91 as needed, so as to avoid the problem that the magnetic suction component 96 is not aligned with the battery cells or that the magnetic suction component 96 obstructs the holding box 7 when it descends.

[0027] By installing a camera on the upper support plate 4, the position of the battery cell in the holding box 7 is photographed to determine the time when the material is lowered.

[0028] The feeding assembly 8 includes: a first motor 81, the output shaft of which is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 86, and the first motor 81 is fixedly mounted on a base 1; a movable frame 82 is slidably mounted on one end of the rotating shaft 86, and another movable frame 82 is fixedly mounted on the other end; a driving roller and a driven roller are rotatably mounted on the movable frame 82, the driving roller is slidably mounted on the rotating shaft 86, and the driven roller is slidably mounted on a roller shaft, which is rotatably mounted on the base 1; a conveyor belt 83 is movably mounted on the driving roller and the driven roller; the slidable movable frame 82 is threadedly mounted on a threaded rod 85, and the threaded rod 85 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of a second motor 84; the threaded rod 85 is rotatably mounted on the base 1, and the second motor 84 is fixedly mounted on the base 1; by driving the threaded rod 85 to rotate through the second motor 84, the distance between the two movable frames 82 is adjusted, thereby limiting the position of the container 7.

[0029] The material transfer assembly 10 includes: a movable frame 101, which is slidably mounted on the lower support plate 3 and fixedly connected to the first electric push rod 11; the movable frame 101 is provided with a mounting groove 102, in which a detachable fixed frame 103 is installed, and an annular airbag 104 is fixedly installed in the fixed frame 103; connecting ends 105 are fixedly installed on both sides of the airbag 104, which are fixedly mounted on the fixed frame 103, and a connecting pipe 106 is fixedly connected to one connecting end 105, through which an air pump is connected to externally, and the air pump controls the expansion and contraction of the airbag 104; the expansion of the airbag 104 flexibly clamps the battery cell; when the movable frame 101 is aligned with the feeding belt 6, the air pump controls the airbag 104 to contract, causing the battery cell to slide down and fall onto the feeding belt 6; the battery cell can be adjusted to a horizontal state by installing a guide block at the bottom of the fixed frame 103 and by using the inclined surface of the guide block.

[0030] Working principle:

[0031] Based on the width of the container 7 and the distribution of the battery cells in the container 7, the second motor 84 is started. The output shaft of the second motor 84 drives the threaded rod 85 to rotate, adjusting the distance between the two moving frames 82 so that the moving frames 82 can limit the container 7, thereby making the moving trajectory of the container 7 a straight line. To replace the suitable material picker, first retract the second electric push rod 94, and after the insert block is separated from the fixed plate, it is easy to remove the material picker. Then move the suitable material picker into the lifting frame 91, and align the mounting plate 92 with the container 7. Then extend the second electric push rod 94 so that the insert block passes through the fixed plate and fixes the material picker, which facilitates the replacement of the material picker and improves the applicability and practicality of the feeding mechanism.
