[0002] In recent years, with the continuous development of the new energy industry, the demand for batteries has been increasing, leading to a continuous improvement in the efficiency requirements of production equipment. To improve efficiency, high-speed conveyor lines are generally used to transport cylindrical batteries. Each cylindrical battery is placed in a tray, and the trays move at high speed on the conveyor line. The tray is specifically a cylinder with internal grooves for holding the cylindrical batteries. The structure of tray 001 is as follows... Figure 1 As shown.

[0003] On automated production lines, individual cylindrical batteries need to be identified by reading the RFID codes on each tray. However, the trays are closely arranged on the conveyor line, requiring a certain distance between them for effective RFID code reading. Existing technologies generally use a rotary table structure for code reading, which is not only complex in structure, occupies a large space, and is costly, but also prone to impacts and jamming.

[0021] Referring to the accompanying drawings, the foregoing and other features of this utility model will become apparent from the following description. Specific embodiments of this utility model are specifically disclosed in the description and drawings, illustrating some implementations in which the principles of this utility model can be adopted. It should be understood that this utility model is not limited to the described embodiments.

[0022] This invention provides an online barcode reading device for a cylindrical battery holder. Figure 2 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the online barcode reading device for cylindrical battery holders of this utility model. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the usage status of the online barcode reader for the cylindrical battery holder of this utility model. Figure 4 This is a top view of the online barcode reader for a cylindrical battery holder (excluding the cover) of this utility model. Figure 2-4As shown, the online barcode reader for the cylindrical battery holder includes a side plate 1 and a side plate 2. A screw 3 is rotatably connected between side plate 1 and side plate 2, and a stop bar 4 is fixedly connected between side plate 1 and side plate 2. Side plate 1 has an opening 11 between the connecting screw 3 and the stop bar 4, and side plate 2 has an opening 21 between the connecting screw 3 and the stop bar 4. The surface of the screw 3 has a variable-pitch helical groove 31, and one end of the screw 3 is connected to a drive motor 5. An RFID reader 6 is located below the stop bar 3. (See attached image) Figure 3 After the online code reading device of this utility model is assembled into the production line, the spacing of the variable pitch spiral groove 31 on the surface of the screw 3 gradually widens from the upstream conveyor line to the downstream conveyor line. The drive motor 5 drives the screw 3 to rotate continuously. One by one, the tightly arranged cups carrying cylindrical batteries, which are conveyed from the front conveyor line, enter the space between the screw 3 and the stop bar 4 through the opening 11 of the side plate 1. Under the guidance of the gradually widening variable pitch spiral groove 31, the spacing between adjacent cups is gradually increased. At this time, the RFID code reader 6 below the stop bar 3 reads the information of each cup passing above in sequence.

[0023] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a screw 7 is rotatably connected between side plate 1 and side plate 2, and a stop bar 8 is fixedly connected between side plate 1 and side plate 2. Side plate 1 has an opening 12 between the connecting screw 7 and the stop bar 8, and side plate 2 has an opening 22 between the connecting screw 7 and the stop bar 8. The surface of the screw 7 is provided with a variable-pitch spiral groove 71. One end of the screw 7 is connected to a drive motor 5, and an RFID reader 9 is located below the stop bar 8. The spacing of the variable-pitch spiral groove 71 on the surface of the screw 7 is the same as that on the surface of the screw 3, both gradually widening from the upstream conveyor line to the downstream conveyor line. However, the threads of the spiral grooves are opposite. In this embodiment of the present invention, the threads of the variable-pitch spiral groove 31 on the surface of the screw 3 are right-handed, and correspondingly, the threads of the variable-pitch spiral groove 71 on the surface of the screw 7 are left-handed. Of course, in other embodiments, the thread of the variable pitch helical groove 31 on the surface of screw 3 can be left-handed, and correspondingly, the thread of the variable pitch helical groove 71 on the surface of screw 7 can be right-handed. Thus, by having one drive motor 5 synchronously drive the two screws to rotate, two conveyor lines can be connected accordingly, improving the efficiency of online code reading.

[0024] According to a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a drive motor 5 is disposed between the connecting screw 3 and screw 7 on the side plate 1. The output shaft of the drive motor 5 passes through the side plate 1 and synchronously drives the screw 3 and screw 7 to rotate via a gear transmission set. For details, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2The gear transmission assembly includes gears 51, 52, 53, and 54. Gear 51 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 5, gear 52 is fixedly connected to one end of the screw 3, and gear 53 is fixedly connected to one end of the screw 7. Gear 51 meshes with gears 52 and 54, and gear 54 meshes with gear 53. Therefore, when the output shaft of the drive motor 5 rotates, gear 51, fixed to the output shaft, drives each meshing gear to rotate, thereby synchronously driving the screw 3 connected to gear 52 and the screw 7 connected to gear 53 to rotate. Alternatively, in other embodiments of this invention, the drive motor 5 can be mounted on the side plate 2, with its output shaft passing through the side plate 2 and driving the screws 3 and 7 to rotate via the gear transmission assembly. Furthermore, a cover plate 10 is provided above the side plates 1 and 2 to enclose the internal structure and prevent foreign objects from accidentally entering between the continuously rotating screws and stop bars, affecting the online operation of the device.

[0025] Preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, and many features and advantages of these embodiments become apparent from this detailed description. Furthermore, since many modifications and alterations will readily occur to those skilled in the art, the embodiments of the present invention are not intended to be limited to the precise structures and operations illustrated and described, but rather to encompass all suitable modifications and equivalents.
