Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of blister tray technology, and in particular to a blister tray for automatic lithium battery cell collection. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, lithium-ion battery cell production involves using automated equipment to wind and shape the cells before transferring them to the next processing step. The existing method places the lithium-ion cells in blister packs, stacking multiple blister packs at the loading station. After loading one layer of cells, a robotic arm removes the empty top layer. However, the blister packs containing the cells are heavy, and when stacked, adjacent layers become tightly interlocked, making it difficult for the robotic arm to separate them. Furthermore, the robotic arm's grippers need to extend between the bottom edges of two layers to lift the top layer. Currently, the height distance between the bottom edges of adjacent stacked blister packs is uncontrollable, making it impossible to adjust the distance based on the thickness of the robotic arm's grippers. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a blister pack for automatic lithium battery cell collection, comprising a box body. The upper surface of the box body has several receiving slots for placing lithium battery cells, and the bottom surface of the box body has a cavity. Several fixing blocks are arranged around the perimeter of the cavity. A support column is movably inserted into each fixing block. The support column is detachably connected to the fixing block, and the height of the support column can be adjusted along the height direction of the box body. The support column abuts against the top surface of the box body.

[0004] Preferably, the receiving groove has sinks at both ends.

[0005] Preferably, clearance slots are provided on both sides of the receiving slot.

[0006] Preferably, the support column has a plurality of positioning holes on its side, the positioning holes are arranged along the height direction of the support column, and the fixing block has a positioning column inserted into the positioning hole.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom edge of the box body extends outward with a supporting edge.

[0008] As can be seen from the above, the following beneficial effects can be obtained by applying the present application: By opening several receiving slots for placing lithium battery cells on the upper surface of the box body and opening a cavity on the bottom surface of the box body, multiple boxes can be stacked through the cavity. Several fixing blocks are arranged around the four sides of the cavity, and support columns are movably inserted in the fixing blocks. The support columns are detachably connected to the fixing blocks, and the height of the support columns can be adjusted along the height direction of the box body. Thus, when multiple boxes are stacked, the support column of the upper box body abuts against the top surface of the lower box body, thereby providing support between the two adjacent boxes and forming a gap between the two adjacent boxes. By adjusting the height of the support column, the distance between the two adjacent boxes can be adjusted, thereby adapting to different robotic arms to reach into the gap to lift the upper box body. Furthermore, the support of the support column prevents the two boxes from sticking together tightly, so that the robotic arms can easily separate the two adjacent boxes, and the automated equipment can accurately pick up materials.

[0014] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0015] Example

[0016] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this embodiment provides a blister pack for automatic lithium battery cell collection, such as... Figure 1-2 As shown, the device includes a housing 10. The upper surface of the housing 10 has several receiving slots 20 for placing lithium battery cells. A cavity 11 is formed on the bottom surface of the housing 10, allowing multiple housings 10 to be stacked. Several fixing blocks 30 are arranged around the perimeter of the cavity 10. Supporting columns 40 are movably inserted within the fixing blocks 30. The supporting columns 40 are detachably connected to the fixing blocks 30, and their height can be adjusted along the height direction of the housing 10. Therefore, when multiple housings 10 are stacked, the upper housing 10... The support column 40 abuts against the top surface of the lower box 10, thereby providing support between the two adjacent boxes 10 and forming a gap between them. By adjusting the height of the support column 40, the distance between the two adjacent boxes 10 can be adjusted, thus accommodating different robotic arms to reach into the gap to lift the upper box 10. Furthermore, the support of the support column 40 prevents the two boxes 10 from sticking together tightly, allowing the robotic arm to easily separate the two adjacent boxes 10, enabling the automated equipment to accurately pick up materials.

[0017] Specifically, such as Figure 3-4 As shown, the support column 40 has several positioning holes 41 on its side, arranged along the height direction of the support column 40. A positioning column 42 inserted into the positioning hole 41 passes through the fixing block 30. The height of the support column 40 can be adjusted by raising and lowering it on the fixing block 30. The positioning column 42 is then inserted into the positioning hole 41 of the support column 40, thus fixing the support column 40 to the fixing block 30. When multiple layers of boxes 10 are stacked, adjacent layers of boxes 10 are supported by the support column 40, thereby adjusting the distance between adjacent layers of boxes 10. Simultaneously, the support of the support column 40 increases the support strength of the stacked boxes 10, preventing the bottom layer of boxes 10 from being deformed and improving the stacking strength of the boxes 10.

[0018] Among them, a support edge 12 extends outward from the bottom edge of the box body 10. The gap between the support edges 12 of the two layers of box bodies 10 can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the support column 40. When feeding the box body 10, the gripper of the robot arm extends into the gap between the support edges 12, and the gripper supports the support edge 12 of the upper box body 10. The distance between the support edges 12 of the two adjacent layers of box bodies 10 can be adjusted according to the thickness of the gripper of the robot arm, and the purpose of easily separating the two adjacent layers of box bodies 10 can be achieved, ensuring the smooth progress of automated production.

[0019] In the above scheme, sink grooves 21 are provided at both ends of the receiving groove 20. When the lithium battery cell is placed in the receiving groove 20, the tabs at both ends of the lithium battery cell are received by the sink grooves 21. At the same time, clearance grooves 22 are provided on both sides of the receiving groove 20. Then, during automatic feeding, the mechanical gripper can extend into the clearance grooves 22 to clamp the two sides of the lithium battery cell, thereby facilitating the clamping of the lithium battery cell on the box 10 or placing the lithium battery cell on the box 10.

[0020] In summary, this application's solution involves creating several accommodating slots for placing lithium battery cells on the upper surface of the box and a cavity on the bottom surface of the box, allowing multiple boxes to be stacked. Several fixing blocks are arranged around the perimeter of the cavity, with support columns movably inserted within each block. The support columns are detachably connected to the fixing blocks, and their height can be adjusted along the height of the box. When multiple boxes are stacked, the support column of the upper box abuts against the top surface of the lower box, providing support between adjacent boxes and creating a gap between them. Adjusting the height of the support columns adjusts the distance between adjacent boxes, accommodating different robotic arms that can reach into the gap to lift the upper box. Furthermore, the support columns prevent the two boxes from sticking together tightly, allowing the robotic arm to easily separate adjacent boxes and enabling automated equipment to accurately pick up materials.

[0021] The embodiments described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this technical solution. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the above embodiments should be included within the scope of protection of this technical solution.
