Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of material conveying, and in particular to a material conveying system and a coding device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of material handling, single-channel conveying is currently used to match one workstation. However, in actual operation, the speed of material conveying needs to be controlled according to the processing efficiency of the workstation. If the processing efficiency of the workstation is low, the speed of material conveying should be reduced. If the speed of material conveying is fast, it will affect the stability of processing. For example, in the mass production of lithium batteries, the efficiency and stability of inkjet printing directly affect the production line cycle time. Traditional single-channel inkjet printing equipment is limited by its simple structure and insufficient synchronization. When improving efficiency, the structure becomes unstable and it is difficult to match the needs of high-speed production lines. Moreover, the content of inkjet printing tends to be diversified. In addition to printing QR codes, it is also necessary to print numbers, environmental protection labels and other information, which leads to a slow overall inkjet printing speed and low operating efficiency.

[0045] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments.

[0046] In the field of material handling, single-channel conveying is currently used to match one workstation. However, in actual operation, the speed of material conveying needs to be controlled according to the processing efficiency of the workstation. If the processing efficiency of the workstation is low, the speed of material conveying should be reduced. If the speed of material conveying is fast, it will affect the stability of processing. For example, in the mass production of lithium batteries, the efficiency and stability of inkjet printing directly affect the production line cycle time. Traditional single-channel inkjet printing equipment is limited by its simple structure and insufficient synchronization. When improving efficiency, the structure becomes unstable and it is difficult to match the needs of high-speed production lines. Moreover, the content of inkjet printing tends to be diversified. In addition to printing QR codes, it is also necessary to print numbers, environmental protection labels and other information, which leads to a slow overall inkjet printing speed and low operating efficiency.

[0047] Therefore, this utility model proposes a material conveying system that can operate at high speed and stably, thereby improving overall efficiency. In this embodiment, the material conveying system is used for battery inkjet printing, and the material conveyed by the material conveying system in this embodiment is battery cells. In other embodiments, the material conveying system can be used for processing at other workstations and for conveying other materials.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the material conveying system of this embodiment includes: a processing and conveying component 100, a diversion component 200, and a merging component 300, which are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction.

[0049] The processing and conveying assembly 100 of this utility model includes at least two processing and conveying channels 110, such as... Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment takes two processing and conveying channels 110 as an example. In some other embodiments, three or more processing and conveying channels 110 can be set, and each processing and conveying channel 110 corresponds to one inkjet printing station, thereby forming two inkjet printing stations.

[0050] The diversion component 200 of this utility model is located on the feeding side of the processing and conveying component 100. The diversion component 200 is provided with at least one diversion feeding end and at least two diversion discharging ends. The number of diversion feeding ends is less than the number of diversion discharging ends. The at least two diversion discharging ends are respectively connected to the conveying feeding ends of at least two processing and conveying channels 110. The diversion component 200 is used to divert the battery cells input from the diversion feeding end to the at least two processing and conveying channels 110 through the at least two diversion discharging ends. Since this embodiment sets two processing and conveying channels 110, there are two diversion discharging ends and one diversion feeding end. The diversion component 200 of this embodiment can achieve a diversion effect of one inlet and two outlets.

[0051] The merging component 300 of this utility model is located on the discharge side of the processing and conveying component 100. The merging component 300 is provided with at least two merging feed ends and at least one merging discharge end. The number of merging feed ends is greater than the number of merging discharge ends. The at least two merging feed ends are respectively connected to the discharge ends of at least two processing and conveying channels 110. The merging component 300 is used to merge and output the materials received from the at least two merging feed ends and the materials from the at least two processing and conveying channels 110 to the next process through the merging discharge end. Since this embodiment sets two processing and conveying channels 110, there are two merging feed ends and one merging discharge end. The merging component 300 of this embodiment can achieve a merging effect of two inlets and one outlet.

[0052] During use, the battery cell is diverted by the shunt assembly 200 to two processing conveyor channels 110, and then conveyed to the corresponding inkjet printing station for inkjet printing. After that, the processed material is combined by the merging assembly 300 and output to the next process.

[0053] This invention divides the battery cell into multiple parts, allowing for simultaneous coding at multiple workstations. It can handle complex coding content without slowing down, thereby improving efficiency.

[0054] It should be noted that the aforementioned diversion feed end, diversion discharge end, merging feed end, and merging discharge end are the positions where materials enter and exit, not a specific structure, but a virtual workstation.

[0055] In this embodiment, the diversion assembly 200 includes a diversion guide frame 210, a diversion rotating frame 220 that rotates relative to the diversion guide frame 210 around its own axis, and a diversion drive structure that drives the diversion rotating frame 220 to rotate.

The diversion fixture 230 is used to clamp the battery cell. The diversion cam guide rail 211 guides the diversion fixture 230 so that the diversion fixture 230 can move back and forth along the rotation axis of the diversion rotating frame 220, thus forming diversion discharge ends at different positions on the rotation axis of the diversion rotating frame 220 to achieve the diversion effect.

The merging assembly 300 includes a merging guide frame 310, a merging rotating frame 320 that rotates relative to the merging guide frame 310 around its own axis, and a merging drive structure that drives the merging rotating frame 320 to rotate.

The merging fixture 330 is used to clamp the battery cell. The merging cam guide rail 311 guides the merging fixture 330 so that the merging fixture 330 can move back and forth along the rotation axis of the merging rotating frame 320, thus forming merging feed ends at different positions on the rotation axis of the merging rotating frame 320 to achieve the merging effect.

[0061] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the number of diversion cam guide rails 211 corresponds to the number of processing and conveying channels 110.
