Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of carbon battery production technology, specifically, it demonstrates a defective product rejection mechanism in an automatic false bottom production line for carbon batteries. Background Technology

[0002] The main production processes of carbon-zinc batteries include: stacking cylinders, feeding slurry paper into cylinders, feeding bottom cup paper into cylinders, feeding cell forming into cylinders, adding pressure cups, inserting carbon rods, applying sealing glue, adding assembly caps, rolling the edges and threading, testing the semi-finished product for voltage, wrapping the trademark and attaching the false bottom, inspection, and packaging. This process forms a continuous battery production line.

[0003] The process of attaching a false bottom to carbon-zinc batteries involves the batteries, after being fitted with a colored sleeve, entering a false bottom attachment mechanism for thermoplastic coating. After the false bottom is attached, the batteries are then conveyed to the next station via a feeding line. Specifically, attaching the false bottom involves a metal sheet coated with an anti-oxidation material (commonly known as the false bottom) to the bottom of the negative terminal of the battery. Simultaneously, the colored plastic sleeve must be tightly fitted over both the bare battery and the false bottom. The bare battery is non-magnetic. However, because the colored plastic sleeve is very thin, the edges of some sleeves cannot be fully unfolded, leading to gaps in the false bottom attachment process and potentially producing defective products. Therefore, it is necessary to be able to promptly remove defective products.

[0004] Currently, the main method for removing defective products generated in the process of removing fake bottoms is still manual screening. However, manual operation is not only labor-intensive, but also has very low production efficiency and cannot be integrated with other processes to form an assembly line production. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a defective product rejection mechanism in an automatic false bottom production line for carbon-zinc batteries. The mechanism is simple and practical, and can effectively reject defective products.

[0006] The technical solution is as follows:

[0007] A defective product rejection mechanism is disclosed in an automatic carbon-zinc battery false bottom mounting production line. The defective product rejection mechanism is located in the middle of the unloading line of the automatic carbon-zinc battery false bottom mounting production line. The defective product rejection mechanism includes: a carrier, a material discharge chute, a collection box, and a belt conveyor. The width of the material discharge chute is greater than the width of the carrier. The material discharge chute and the belt conveyor are respectively located on both sides of the carrier along its length. The collection box is located below the material discharge chute. The belt on the belt conveyor is driven vertically, and one side of the belt on the belt conveyor is attached to one side of the carrier. A magnet is installed inside the belt conveyor to adhere to the inner wall of the belt.

[0008] Optionally, it also includes a blocking plate body arranged face-to-face with the belt conveyor. From a top view, the belt conveyor, the carrier, the material discharge chute, and the blocking plate body are arranged sequentially from one side to the other.

[0009] Furthermore, both ends of the blocking plate are formed with outwardly curved arc-shaped guide portions.

[0010] Furthermore, an extension plate is provided vertically outward on the lower part of the outer side wall of the blocking plate.

[0011] Optionally, the support body is composed of two parallel, spaced-apart rods.

[0012] Optionally, the width of the carrier plus the width of the discharge channel is slightly greater than the length of the carbon battery.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: After the battery has been fitted with a false bottom, it will pass through the defective product rejection mechanism in an orderly manner. If the battery has successfully fitted with a false bottom, the false bottom on one end of the battery will be attracted to the belt of the belt conveyor by the magnet and smoothly transported to the second half of the unloading line under the drive of the belt. If the battery has not successfully fitted with a false bottom, when the battery flows from the first half of the unloading line to the carrier, due to the lack of magnetic attraction and the weight of the other end of the battery, the battery will fall from the carrier into the drop channel and finally fall into the collection box, thereby avoiding too many empty false bottoms on the battery and ensuring the product qualification rate. Attached Figure Description

[0014] Figure 1 This is a simplified top-view schematic diagram of a defective product rejection mechanism in an automatic false bottom production line for carbon-zinc batteries, according to an embodiment of this utility model.

[0015] The relevant markings in the attached diagram are: 10-carrier, 20-feed chute, 30-collection box, 40-belt conveyor, 50-blocking plate, 41-belt, 42-magnet, 51-arc guide, 52-extension plate. Detailed Implementation

[0016] 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 scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0017] This utility model provides a defective product rejection mechanism in an automatic false bottom production line for carbon-zinc batteries, which is used to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art, so as to automatically reject batteries with false bottoms and no battery pack.

[0018] Please see Figure 1 The diagram shown is simplified. The defective product rejection mechanism is designed and installed in the middle of the feeding line, dividing the feeding line into two independent sections, the front half and the back half. In other words, the batteries with the false bottoms first arrive at the front half of the feeding line, and then flow to the back half of the feeding line after passing through the defective product rejection mechanism, ensuring the continuity of battery feeding.

[0019] The defective product rejection mechanism includes: a carrier 10, a discharge chute 20, a collection box 30, and a belt conveyor 40. The carrier 10 and the discharge chute 20 are adjacent. The carrier 10 is mainly for the sliding passage of batteries. The width of the discharge chute 20 must be greater than the width of the carrier 10, ensuring that, without external force, the batteries placed on the carrier 10 can naturally fall to the position of the discharge chute 20. The width of the carrier 10 plus the width of the discharge chute 20 is slightly greater than the length of a single carbon battery. The discharge chute 20 and the belt conveyor 40 are respectively located on both sides of the length of the carrier 10. The collection box 30 is located below the discharge chute 20. The conveyor is a general-purpose component, and its implementation principle can be understood by those skilled in the art. The layout direction of the belt conveyor 40 is consistent with the direction of the carrier 10, and the conveying direction of the belt 41 on the belt conveyor 40 is vertical. Figuratively speaking, the belt conveyor 40 is installed on its side, and one side of the belt 41 on the belt conveyor 40 is close to the side of the carrier 10. The belt conveyor 40 is equipped with a magnet 42 that is close to the inner wall of the belt 41. The magnet 42 is long and narrow. That is to say, during the cyclic movement of the belt 41, the inner wall of the belt 41 that is close to the carrier 10 can come into contact with the magnet 42.

[0020] Automatic rejection principle for defective products: If the battery successfully attaches the false bottom, the false bottom on one end of the battery will be attracted by the magnet 42 to the belt 41 of the belt conveyor 40, and smoothly transported along the carrier 10 to the second half of the unloading line under the drive of the belt 41; if the battery fails to attach the false bottom, when the battery flows from the first half of the unloading line to the carrier 10, due to the lack of magnetic attraction and the weight of the other end of the battery, the battery will automatically fall off the carrier 10 into the drop channel 20 and finally fall into the collection box 30.

[0021] In some embodiments, a baffle plate 50 is also provided facing the belt conveyor 40. In a top view, the belt conveyor 40, the carrier 1, the discharge chute 20, and the baffle plate 50 are arranged sequentially from one side to the other. In this way, the baffle plate and the belt conveyor cooperate to form a flow channel between the baffle plate and the belt conveyor, which allows the battery to pass through and ensures that the battery can move stably along the extension direction of the carrier.

[0022] Furthermore, both ends of the blocking plate 50 are formed with outwardly curved arc-shaped guide portions 51. This is to ensure that the batteries coming from the first half of the feeding line can smoothly enter the carrier and that the batteries on the carrier can smoothly flow out to the second half of the feeding line.

[0023] Furthermore, an extension plate 52 is provided vertically outward on the lower part of the outer side wall of the blocking plate 50. The extension plate is a reserved design that can sometimes facilitate the placement of some parts, etc.

[0024] In some embodiments, the carrier 10 is composed of two parallel and spaced rods, which can reduce the friction between the battery and the carrier, ensure that one end of the battery on the carrier can be stably attached to the belt and move with the belt, and that the battery on the carrier can always maintain a nearly perpendicular state to the carrier during operation.

[0025] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and improvements fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
