[0002] With the miniaturization of electronic devices, button cells (such as coin cells) are widely used in smart wearable devices, medical instruments, and microelectronic products. Traditional button cell assembly and placement processes rely heavily on manual operation or semi-automated equipment, resulting in problems such as low efficiency, poor positioning accuracy, insufficient equipment compatibility, and poor cycle stability.

[0008] The material picking and transferring mechanism is used to pick up button cells from the material tray, place them on the feeding conveyor belt, and remove the material tray after the button cells have been picked up. The material tray pushing mechanism is used to lift the material tray in the first stacking tray groove. The guiding chute is used to guide and place the button cells. The receiving mechanism is used to move laterally and hold the button cells.

[0023] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0025] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0026] With the miniaturization of electronic devices, button cells (such as coin cells) are widely used in smart wearable devices, medical instruments, and microelectronic products. Traditional button cell assembly and placement processes rely heavily on manual operation or semi-automated equipment, resulting in problems such as low efficiency, poor positioning accuracy, insufficient equipment compatibility, and poor cycle stability.

[0027] To address the aforementioned issues, this embodiment discloses a feeding device for a button cell battery placement equipment, comprising a feeding mechanism 100 and a placement mechanism 111; the feeding mechanism 100 is used to feed button cells and guide their placement, and the placement mechanism 111 is used to pick up the guided button cells from the feeding mechanism 100 and place them for unloading.

[0028] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism 100 includes a first tray trough 101, a tray lifting mechanism 102 located below the first tray trough 101, a picking and transferring mechanism 103 located above the first tray trough 101, a feeding conveyor belt 104 located on one side of the first tray trough 101, a guide chute 105 communicating with the feeding conveyor belt 104, and a receiving mechanism 106 located below the guide chute 105. The picking and transferring mechanism 103 is used to pick up button cells from the tray and place them on the feeding conveyor belt 104 and remove the tray after the button cells have been picked up. The tray lifting mechanism 102 is used to lift the tray in the first tray trough 101. The guide chute 105 is used to guide and place the button cells. The receiving mechanism 106 is used to move laterally and hold the button cells. The arranging mechanism 111 is used to pick up the button cells placed in the receiving mechanism 106 and arrange the button cells for unloading.

[0029] Specific reference Figure 1 Batteries filled with batteries are stacked in the first stacking tray groove 101. A picking and transferring mechanism 103 above the first stacking tray groove 101 picks up the batteries from the trays and places them onto a feeding conveyor belt 104. The feeding conveyor belt 104 feeds the loose batteries into a guide chute 105. Under the action of gravity, the guide chute 105 guides the batteries and sends them into a receiving mechanism 106 already placed below the guide chute 105. In this embodiment, the receiving mechanism 106 includes a second linear actuator 112, a slider 113, a slide rail 114, and a receiving fixture 115. The output direction of the second linear actuator 112 is parallel to the length direction of the guide chute 105 and the length direction of the slide rail 114. The slider 113 is slidably connected to the slide rail 114 and connected to the output end of the second linear actuator 112. The receiving fixture 115 is mounted on the slider 113. Batteries fall smoothly from the guide chute 105 into the material trough of the receiving fixture 115. After a row of troughs is filled with batteries, the second linear actuator 112 drives the fixture forward, causing the next row of empty troughs to realign with the guide chute 105 for the next round of battery loading. This process is repeated to complete the battery loading. In this embodiment, the second linear actuator 112 is preferably a cylinder.

[0030] In addition, a second tray trough 101 is provided on the side of the first tray trough 101 away from the feeding conveyor belt 104. The empty trays in the first tray trough 101 can be picked up by the material picking and transfer mechanism 103 and placed in the second tray trough 101 so that the trays loaded with batteries below are exposed, which facilitates the material picking and transfer mechanism 103 to pick up the batteries later.

[0031] In this embodiment, the material placement mechanism 111 and the material picking and transfer mechanism 103 are preferably multi-axis manipulators. The end of the multi-axis manipulator is equipped with a magnet or suction cup to pick up button batteries or material trays. The material tray pushing mechanism 102 is preferably a drive structure consisting of at least a motor, a screw, and a nut.

[0032] Furthermore, a vibration mechanism 107 is connected to one side of the guide chute 105. The vibration mechanism 107 includes a drive motor 108, a cam 109 mounted on the output end of the drive motor 108, and a vibration rod 110 connected between the cam 109 and the guide chute 105. By setting the vibration mechanism 107, some batteries that are stuck on the guide chute 105 due to friction can be loosened, ensuring the battery feeding efficiency.

[0033] Furthermore, a limiting mechanism 200 is also installed above the guide chute 105. The limiting mechanism 200 includes a first linear actuator 201 with its output direction perpendicular to one end face of the guide chute 105 and a limiting member 202 installed at the output end of the first linear actuator 201. The first linear actuator 201 is used to drive the limiting member 202 to rise and fall to block or allow the button cells located in the guide chute 105 to move. In this embodiment, the first linear actuator 201 is preferably a cylinder, which drives the limiting member 202 to extend into the guide chute 105 to control the number and speed of the falling batteries.

[0034] In summary, the feeding device of this utility model for button cell battery placement significantly improves the feeding and placement speed of button cells through an automated feeding and placement mechanism, meeting the needs of large-scale production. The feeding mechanism 100 effectively guides the button cells, ensuring that each cell is accurately positioned during placement, reducing subsequent problems caused by improper placement, reducing reliance on manual operation, minimizing damage during placement, and is compatible with most battery processing equipment.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model.
