Detailed Implementation
[0017] 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.
[0018] Example: A lithium battery liquid filling machine, such as Figures 1-4As shown, the system includes an annular base 1, a cylinder 2, a storage cylinder 3, a rotating ring 4, a limiting disc 5, a limiting seat 6, a gear ring 7, a motor 8, a gear 9, a connecting frame 10, a feeding pipe 11, a conical head 111, a baffle 12, a temperature control plate 14, a position adjusting plate 15, an arc-shaped feeding plate 16, a cleaning brush 17, and a cleaning cylinder 18. A vertically mounted cylinder 2 is bolted to the center of the top of the annular base 1. The telescopic end of the cylinder 2 faces upwards, and the telescopic end of the cylinder 2 is connected to the storage cylinder 3. A temperature control plate 14 is evenly spaced on the outer side of the 3. The storage cylinder 3 can slide up and down to the annular base 1 via a guide rod. A rotating ring 4 is concentrically rotatably connected to the upper outer side of the annular base 1. A gear ring 7 is concentrically connected to the lower inner side of the rotating ring 4. A motor 8 is fixedly connected to the annular base 1 by bolts. The output shaft of the motor 8 is installed facing upwards. A gear 9 that meshes with the gear ring 7 is keyed to the output shaft of the motor 8. A limit plate 5 is concentrically connected to the upper outer side of the rotating ring 4. A limit plate 5 is concentrically connected to the lower outer side of the rotating ring 4. The core is connected to the limiting seat 6. A row of feed pipes 11 is evenly spaced on the lower left side of the storage cylinder 3. Conical heads 111 are symmetrically installed on the feed pipes 11, with the conical part of the conical head 111 facing downward. A connecting frame 10 is fixedly connected to the top left side of the annular base 1 by bolts. A row of baffles 12 is evenly spaced on the upper part of the connecting frame 10. The baffles 12 pass through the feed pipes 11 and block the discharge hole of the feed pipes 11. A feed hole 13 is opened at the bottom of the baffles 12. The left side of the annular base 1 is connected by bolts. A position adjustment plate 15 is fixedly connected to the bolt. The position adjustment plate 15 extends outward in an arc shape at both the front and rear. An arc-shaped feed plate 16 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the annular base 1 by bolts. The arc-shaped feed plate 16 extends in an arc shape towards the feed tube 11. A cleaning brush 17 is installed at the bottom of the arc-shaped feed plate 16. The bottom of the cleaning brush 17 contacts the top of the limiting plate 5. A cleaning cylinder 18 is installed at the lower part of the arc-shaped feed plate 16. The cleaning cylinder 18 extends towards the limiting seat 6. The bottom of the cleaning cylinder 18 fits against the top of the limiting seat 6.
[0019] When filling the soft-pack battery with liquid, liquid is added to the storage cylinder 3, and the top of the storage cylinder 3 can be covered by the cover plate. The temperature control plate 14 is then activated to maintain the required temperature of the liquid in the storage cylinder 3. Subsequently, the motor 8 is controlled to rotate counterclockwise, which in turn drives the gear 9 to rotate counterclockwise, thereby driving the gear ring 7 to rotate clockwise, which in turn drives the rotating ring 4 to rotate clockwise, causing the limiting plate 5 and the limiting seat 6 to rotate clockwise. At this time, the soft-pack battery is placed on the limiting plate 5 on the right side of the position adjustment plate 15. On the limiting seat 6, the soft-pack batteries are placed within the intervals of the limiting plate 5, with the bottom of the soft-pack batteries on the limiting seat 6. When the soft-pack batteries rotate to contact the position adjusting plate 15, the position adjusting plate 15 pushes the soft-pack batteries to move towards the center. After each soft-pack battery contacts the position adjusting plate 15, it is pushed to the same position. When the liquid injection port of the soft-pack batteries, which is the same number as the number of soft-pack batteries in the feeding pipe 11, rotates to below the feeding pipe 11, the control motor 8 stops working. At this time, the control cylinder 2 shortens, driving the storage cylinder 3 to move downwards, and the batteries are discharged. The tube 11 extends into the liquid filling port of the soft-pack battery, while the conical head 111 is inserted into the gap at the top of the soft-pack battery. The conical surface of the conical head 111 repositions the soft-pack battery. When the discharge hole of the feeding tube 11 coincides with the feeding hole 13, the control cylinder 2 stops working. At this time, the liquid in the storage cylinder 3 enters the soft-pack battery through the feeding tube 11. After the liquid is added to the soft-pack battery, the control cylinder 2 extends and resets, driving the feeding tube 11 to move upward and reset. At this time, the baffle 12 blocks the feeding hole again. 13. The feeding tube 11 stops feeding, and then the control motor 8 continues to rotate counterclockwise. At this time, the soft-pack battery after liquid injection rotates to contact the arc-shaped feeding plate 16. The arc-shaped feeding plate 16 pushes the soft-pack battery after liquid injection outward to complete the feeding. When the limit plate 5 rotates, the cleaning brush 17 cleans the surface of the limit plate 5. When the limit seat 6 rotates, the cleaning cylinder 18 cleans the limit seat 6. This process is repeated. After the soft-pack battery is fully injected with liquid, the control motor 8 and the temperature control plate 14 stop working.
