Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery cap testing technology, specifically a linear battery cap testing device. Background Technology
[0002] A battery cap is a small cap that is attached to the pins of a battery. It is usually red or black, but other colors are also possible. The material can be plastic or rubber. After the battery cap is produced, it needs to be tested by a battery cap testing device. The specific process is as follows: the battery cap is placed on a conveyor belt, then a camera takes a picture of it. The camera sends the picture to computer software for analysis. Finally, a classification mechanism is used to classify the battery caps as good or bad.
[0003] However, existing linear battery cap inspection equipment cannot move the battery caps placed on the conveyor belt to the center of the conveyor belt, causing the battery caps to not move directly under the camera. This results in errors in the camera's image capture, affecting the analysis of the computer software and the quality of battery cap inspection.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-8 This utility model provides a technical solution: a linear battery cap testing device, including a conveyor frame 1, a conveyor belt 2 inside the conveyor frame 1, and a guide mechanism on the conveyor frame 1;
[0027] The guiding mechanism includes a first rotating shaft 3, which is rotatably mounted on the side of the conveyor frame 1 via bearings. A lead screw 4 is installed inside the first rotating shaft 3, and a guide plate 5 is fixed to the end of the lead screw 4 inside the conveyor frame 1. The bottom of the guide plate 5 is in contact with the top of the conveyor belt 2. A guide rod 6 is fixed to one end of the guide plate 5, and the end of the guide rod 6 passes through the side of the conveyor frame 1. A first gear 7 is fixed to the outer wall of the first rotating shaft 3 outside the conveyor frame 1. A second rotating shaft 8 is rotatably mounted inside the conveyor frame 1 via bearings, and a gear 7 is fixed to the end of the second rotating shaft 8. The second gear 9 has its top meshing with the bottom of the first gear 7. The end of the first rotating shaft 3 is fixed with a handle 10. The end of the guide plate 5 is fixed with a first gathering plate 11, which is designed to be inclined. The end of the first gathering plate 11 is located inside the groove 13. The groove 13 is opened inside the second gathering plate 12. The end of the second gathering plate 12 is in contact with the inner side of the conveyor frame 1. The bottoms of the first gathering plate 11 and the second gathering plate 12 are in contact with the top of the conveyor belt 2. A fixing mechanism is provided on one side of the first gathering plate 11.
[0028] A sorting mechanism is located inside the conveyor frame 1, away from the guide mechanism.
[0029] The fixing mechanism includes a through groove 14. The through groove 14 is provided on the inner side of the groove 13. A screw 15 is fixed to one end of the first gathering plate 11. A nut 16 is threaded on the outer side of the screw 15.
[0030] The sorting mechanism includes a fixed plate 17. The fixed plate 17 is fixed inside the conveyor frame 1 away from the guide plate 5. A third rotating shaft 18 is rotatably mounted in the middle of the fixed plate 17 via a bearing. A movable plate 19 is fixed at the lower end of the third rotating shaft 18. The bottom of the movable plate 19 is in contact with the top of the conveyor belt 2. The top of the third rotating shaft 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom output end of the servo motor 20. The outer wall of the servo motor 20 is fixed to the top of the fixed plate 17 via a mounting bracket.
[0031] A U-shaped plate 21 is provided on the top of the conveyor 1 between the guiding mechanism and the sorting mechanism. A computer 22 is provided on the outside of the U-shaped plate 21, and a camera 23 is installed at the center of the inner side of the top of the U-shaped plate 21.
[0032] The first rotating shaft 3, lead screw 4, guide plate 5, guide rod 6, first gear 7 and second gear 9 are symmetrically distributed in twos about the central axis of the conveyor belt 2. The first rotating shaft 3 and lead screw 4 are threadedly connected, and the threads on the two lead screws 4 are arranged in opposite directions. The guide rod 6 and the conveyor frame 1 form a sliding connection, which ensures that when the two first rotating shafts 3 rotate in the same direction, the two guide plates 5 can move closer to each other or move further away from each other.
[0033] The first gathering plate 11 and the groove 13 form a sliding connection, ensuring that the second gathering plate 12 can move on the first gathering plate 11. The screw 15 and the through groove 14 form a sliding connection, ensuring that the screw 15 can move on the through groove 14. The side of the nut 16 is in close contact with the side of the second gathering plate 12. Through the close contact between the nut 16 and the side of the second gathering plate 12, the position of the second gathering plate 12 after movement can be fixed.
[0034] Working principle: When using this linear battery cap testing device, first place the battery cap to be tested between two guide plates 5, and the battery cap is simultaneously located at the top of the conveyor belt 2. Then rotate the handle 10, which drives the first rotating shaft 3 to rotate. Then, the first rotating shaft 3 drives the other first rotating shaft 3 to rotate in the same direction through the second rotating shaft 8, two first gears 7 and two second gears 9. Since the first rotating shaft 3 and the lead screw 4 are threadedly connected, and the threads on the two lead screws 4 are set oppositely, and the guide rod 6 and the conveyor frame 1 form a sliding connection, the two lead screws 4 push the two guide plates 5 to move closer to each other until the distance between the two guide plates 5 is slightly larger than the diameter of the battery cap. Then rotate the nut 16 to separate the nut 16 from the second gathering plate 12. Then move the second gathering plate 12 so that the end of the second gathering plate 12 fits against the inner side of the conveyor frame 1. Then rotate the nut 16 so that one side of the nut 16 fits tightly against one side of the second gathering plate 12, thus completing the fixation of the second gathering plate 12.
[0035] The battery cap is placed on the rotating conveyor belt 2. Under the action of the first gathering plate 11 and the second gathering plate 12, the battery cap moves between the two guide plates 5, allowing it to move in the middle of the conveyor belt 2. When the battery cap moves directly below the camera 23, it is photographed by the camera 23. The photograph is sent to the computer 22 for analysis. When the product is qualified, the servo motor 20 is started. The servo motor 20 drives the third rotating shaft 18 and the movable plate 19 to rotate in reverse until the end of the movable plate 19 is in contact with the inner wall of the conveyor frame 1. The qualified battery cap falls into the box for holding qualified battery caps under the guidance of the movable plate 19. When the product is unqualified, the servo motor 20 is started to rotate in the forward direction, so that the end of the movable plate 19 is in contact with the other inner wall of the conveyor frame 1. The unqualified battery cap falls into the box for holding unqualified battery caps under the guidance of the movable plate 19.
[0036] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
