Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cap alignment mechanism, specifically a battery cap alignment mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Battery caps typically contain the leads for the positive and negative electrodes. A properly positioned cap ensures uniform electrolyte distribution within the battery. Incorrect cap placement can compress or alter the internal structure, leading to uneven electrolyte distribution. For example, in some flow batteries, proper electrolyte flow and distribution are crucial for electrochemical performance. Improper cap placement can hinder normal electrolyte circulation within the battery, affecting its capacity and performance.

[0003] Currently, battery cap calibration is typically performed manually. During manual calibration, operators rely on visual inspection and simple tools to determine the correct position and angle of the cap. For example, to check if the round battery cap is centered on the battery, the operator needs to adjust the cap's position multiple times and use calipers to measure the distance between the cap's edge and the battery's edge—a very time-consuming process. Furthermore, operator fatigue increases with working hours, further reducing operating speed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a battery cap alignment mechanism, including a mounting shell, a fixing plate fixedly connected to the mounting shell, a sliding chamber slidably connected to the mounting shell, a sliding plate rotatably connected to the side of the mounting shell near the sliding chamber, and a transmission component provided on the mounting shell.

[0005] The transmission assembly includes a transmission plate, which is fixedly connected to the mounting housing. A third rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the transmission plate. A second transmission rod is rotatably connected to the third rotating shaft. A second rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the second transmission rod. A first rotating rod is rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft. A first sliding shaft is rotatably connected to the first rotating shaft. The bottom of the first sliding shaft is fixedly connected to a sliding plate. An electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding plate. A second sliding shaft is fixedly connected to the electric telescopic rod. An inclined plate is slidably connected to the second sliding shaft.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, a storage compartment is fixedly connected to the inclined plate, and the storage compartment is slidably connected to the mounting shell.

[0007] The above technical solution is adopted: by setting up a storage compartment, when the inclined plate is displaced, it will drive the storage compartment to move and slide inside the sliding shell.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, a hand-held plate is fixedly connected to the fixed plate, and a sliding hole is provided on the side of the mounting shell near the hand-held plate on the fixed plate. The sliding rod of the hand-held plate on the fixed plate is connected to the sliding hole on the mounting shell.

[0009] The above technical solution involves a handheld plate that allows the storage compartment to be slid outwards using external force, enabling the removal of internal components.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a sliding block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding chamber, and a sliding groove is provided on the side of the mounting shell near the sliding chamber. The sliding block at the bottom of the sliding chamber is slidably connected to the sliding groove on the mounting shell.

[0011] The above technical solution is adopted: by setting a sliding compartment, the sliding compartment slides on the mounting shell during use to achieve the calibration of the battery and the cap.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a magnet is fixedly connected inside the sliding chamber.

[0013] The above technical solution involves fixing the battery components in place by attaching a magnet inside the sliding chamber.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the mounting shell.

[0015] The above technical solution allows the cap to be closed during use by incorporating a fixing plate.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] 1. In this invention, automated operation replaces the time-consuming manual adjustment process. Through the linkage of mechanical structures, such as the electric telescopic rod driving the sliding plate to tilt, and the transmission components causing each rotating shaft to rotate, the clamping of the cap and the displacement of the storage compartment are achieved. This allows for the rapid and orderly completion of the selection, positioning, and storage preparation of the caps, significantly reducing the time required for aligning a single battery cap. Compared to manual measurement and adjustment using tools such as calipers, its efficiency can be increased several times or even more, significantly accelerating the overall pace of battery production, increasing the production line's capacity, and solving the problem of existing technologies relying solely on manual alignment.

[0018] 2. In this invention, the connection and rotational relationship between the various rotating shafts, transmission rods, and sliding shafts in the transmission assembly ensures stable and accurate positioning when clamping the cap hanging on the first sliding shaft, avoiding errors caused by visual judgment and manual operation. This high-precision alignment helps improve the quality consistency of battery products and reduces the risk of unstable battery performance or increased defect rate due to cap position deviation.

[0029] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a battery cap alignment mechanism includes a mounting shell 1, a fixing plate 41 fixedly connected to the mounting shell 1, a sliding chamber 4 slidably connected to the mounting shell 1, a sliding plate 21 rotatably connected to the side of the mounting shell 1 near the sliding chamber 4, and a transmission assembly 2 provided on the mounting shell 1.

[0031] The transmission assembly 2 includes a transmission plate 22, which is fixedly connected to the mounting housing 1. A third rotating shaft 28 is rotatably connected to the transmission plate 22. A second transmission rod 26 is rotatably connected to the third rotating shaft 28. A second rotating shaft 27 is rotatably connected to the second transmission rod 26. A first rotating rod 24 is rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft 27. A first rotating shaft 25 is rotatably connected to the first rotating rod 24. A first sliding shaft 23 is rotatably connected to the first rotating shaft 25. The bottom of the first sliding shaft 23 is fixedly connected to a sliding plate 21. An electric telescopic rod 211 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding plate 21. A second sliding shaft 210 is fixedly connected to the electric telescopic rod 211. An inclined plate 29 is slidably connected to the second sliding shaft 210.

[0032] In this invention, automated operation replaces the time-consuming manual adjustment process. Through the linkage of mechanical structures, such as the electric telescopic rod 211 driving the sliding plate 21 to tilt, and the transmission component 2 causing each rotating shaft to rotate to achieve the clamping of the cap and the displacement coordination of the storage compartment 3, the screening, positioning, and storage preparation of the caps can be completed quickly and orderly, greatly shortening the time required for aligning a single battery cap. Compared with manual measurement and adjustment using tools such as calipers, its efficiency can be increased several times or even more, significantly accelerating the overall pace of battery production, increasing the production line capacity, and solving the problem of existing technologies relying solely on manual alignment in the background art.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a storage compartment 3 is fixedly connected to the inclined plate 29. The storage compartment 3 is slidably connected to the mounting shell 1. By providing the storage compartment 3, when the inclined plate 29 is displaced, it will drive the storage compartment 3 to move and slide inside the sliding shell.

[0034] A hand-held plate is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 41. A sliding hole is provided on the side of the mounting shell 1 near the hand-held plate on the fixed plate 41. The sliding rod of the hand-held plate on the fixed plate 41 is connected to the sliding hole on the mounting shell 1. By providing the hand-held plate, it is convenient to slide the storage compartment 3 outward by external force to remove the internal components of the storage compartment 3.

[0035] A sliding block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding compartment 4. A sliding groove is provided on the side of the mounting shell 1 near the sliding compartment 4. The sliding block at the bottom of the sliding compartment 4 is slidably connected in the sliding groove on the mounting shell 1. By providing the sliding compartment 4, the sliding compartment 4 slides on the mounting shell 1 during use to achieve the calibration of the battery and the cap.

[0036] A magnet is fixedly connected inside the sliding chamber 4, which facilitates the fixation of the battery components.

[0037] The above solution also has the problem that the storage compartment 3 is completely exposed, and the cap may detach from the storage compartment 3 during use, resulting in waste. Figure 1As shown, a fixing plate 41 is fixedly connected to the mounting shell 1. By providing the fixing plate 41, the cap can be closed during use.

[0038] Working principle: such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, when using it, first open the sliding compartment 4 and tilt the cap onto the sliding plate 21. At this time, some caps will be hung on the first sliding shaft 23. Then, start the electric telescopic rod 211, which will drive the sliding plate 21 to move down, causing the sliding plate 21 to tilt. The caps that are not hung will fall into the storage compartment 3.

[0039] During this process, as the sliding plate 21 gradually tilts, it will cause the first sliding shaft 23 to move down slightly. The transmission plate 22 is fixed inside the mounting shell 1, causing the first rotating shaft 25, the second rotating shaft 27, and the third rotating shaft 28 to rotate. This causes the second rotating shaft 27 on both sides of the first sliding shaft 23 to expand outward slightly, clamping the cap so that the cap hanging on the first sliding shaft 23 will not fall off.

[0040] During the process of the electric telescopic rod 211 moving down, the second sliding shaft 210 will slide on the inclined plate 29, causing the storage compartment 3 to slide towards the side closer to the sliding plate 21. As the sliding plate 21 tilts, the storage compartment 3 is pulled closer to the sliding plate 21, so that the caps that are not caught on the sliding plate 21 can slide smoothly into the storage compartment 3.

[0041] Next, reset the sliding compartment 4 so that the battery is close to the cap, thus aligning the cap position.

[0042] Then, by pulling out the storage compartment 3 with external force, the cap inside can be retrieved.

[0043] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-described technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. The implementation schemes in the above embodiments can also be further combined or replaced. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
