Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to auxiliary equipment for battery processing, and more particularly to a paper card storage box. Background Technology

[0002] Paper cards used for battery tagging are typically packed in cardboard boxes, with a plastic bag inside the box to isolate the cards from external moisture and prevent them from warping and affecting the tagging process. During battery tagging, production line workers untie the plastic bag inside the cardboard box and manually transfer the paper cards to the tagging machine's slots, arranging them neatly by hand. This manual method of placing the paper cards is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it's easy to misalign the cards, causing machine malfunctions, downtime, or the production of defective products. This negatively impacts the uptime and yield rate of the tagging machine. Therefore, there is an urgent need to automate paper card feeding to improve production efficiency. In this process, determining how to properly place the paper cards to coordinate with the automated robotic arm's picking process becomes a crucial step in achieving automated paper card feeding. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a paper card storage box.

[0004] The technical solution to achieve the purpose of this utility model is: a cardboard storage box, comprising a storage box body, the storage box body having a bottom plate and a peripheral wall surrounding the bottom plate, the upper end of the storage box body being an open end, and the bottom plate being located at the lower end of the storage box body; the peripheral wall comprising two opposing side plates, each side plate having several parallel and spaced baffles along its length, the baffles being perpendicular to the bottom plate, the baffles on the two side plates corresponding one-to-one, and the two opposing baffles... A partition is installed between the partition and the base plate. The partition is perpendicular to the base plate. The spacing between adjacent baffles is less than the width of the paper card to be stored. The spacing between opposite baffles is not less than the length of the paper card. The spacing between adjacent partitions is slightly greater than the width of the paper card. The adjacent partitions and the baffles containing the partitions form a paper card receiving space. When the paper card is placed into the paper card receiving space, there is a material release gap between the paper card and the partition to facilitate the paper card's removal from the paper card receiving space.

[0005] Furthermore, the upper end of the baffle is horizontally lower than the opening end, and the bottom plate extends downward to form an annular protrusion. A protrusion receiving space is formed between the upper end of the baffle and the opening end. The shape of the outer ring of the protrusion is limited to the fact that when the two cardboard storage box bodies are stacked, the protrusion on the upper layer is embedded in the protrusion receiving space on the lower layer and fits against the peripheral wall of the protrusion receiving space.

[0006] Furthermore, an annular groove is formed on the outer ring of the boss, and a sealing ring is embedded in the annular groove.

[0007] Furthermore, the retaining strip has a hollow structure to prevent deformation during injection molding.

[0008] The paper card storage box of this utility model has baffles and partitions inside the storage box body. The adjacent partitions and baffles form a paper card holding space and leave a material unloading gap, so that the robot can reach into the storage box body to take out the stacked paper cards in each paper card holding space one by one, realize the automation of paper card material handling and improve production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0009] Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the paper card storage box described in an embodiment of the present utility model;

[0010] Figure 2 This is a top view of the paper card storage box according to an embodiment of the present invention;

[0011] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the left side of the paper card storage box described in an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0012] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0013] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a card storage box includes a storage box body 1, which has a bottom plate 11 and a peripheral wall 12 surrounding the bottom plate. The upper end of the storage box body 1 is an open end 13, and the bottom plate 11 is located at the lower end of the storage box body 1. The peripheral wall 12 includes two opposing side plates 121. Each side plate 121 has several parallel baffles 14 arranged at intervals along its length. The baffles 14 are perpendicular to the bottom plate 11. Each baffle 14 on the two side plates 121 corresponds to a baffle 14. A partition 15 is installed between two opposing baffles 14. The partition 15 is perpendicular to the bottom plate 11. The distance A between adjacent baffles 14 is less than the width B of the cardboard 100 to be stored. The spacing C of the corresponding baffles 14 is not less than the length of the paper card 100, and the spacing of the adjacent partitions 15 is slightly greater than the width B of the paper card 100. The adjacent partitions 15 and the baffles 14 where the partitions 15 are located form a paper card receiving space 10. When the paper card 100 is placed into the paper card receiving space 10, there is a material release gap between the paper card 100 and the partitions 15 to facilitate the paper card to be removed from the paper card receiving space 10.

[0014] Furthermore, the upper end 141 of the baffle 14 is horizontally lower than the opening end 13. The bottom plate 11 extends downward to form an annular boss 111. The upper end 141 of the baffle 14 and the opening end 13 form a boss accommodating space 20. The shape of the outer ring of the boss 111 is limited such that when the two card storage box bodies 1 are stacked, the boss 111 on the upper layer is embedded in the boss accommodating space 20 on the lower layer and fits against the peripheral wall 12 of the boss accommodating space 20. An annular groove 1111 is provided on the outer ring of the boss 111, and a sealing ring 16 is embedded in the annular groove 1111.

[0015] During packing, manual staff place the paper cards one by one into the paper card storage space and stack them neatly. When it is necessary to attach the cards to the batteries for packaging, a robotic arm reaches into the storage box and removes the stacked paper cards from each paper card storage space one by one, thus automating the paper card material handling process.

[0016] The protrusions in this invention are provided as needed. Adding protrusions allows the cardboard storage boxes to be stacked, reducing the floor space. When stacked, the upper protrusion fits snugly against the lower peripheral wall, achieving a seal. The sealing ring is provided as needed; when stacked, the sealing ring is compressed by the plane of the peripheral wall, isolating the cardboard inside the storage box from the air outside, resulting in a better seal. The retaining strip is a hollow structure to avoid deformation during injection molding. The storage box body is typically rectangular, but can also be other shapes. When the storage box body is rectangular, the protrusions are square rings.

[0017] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent process transformations made using the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
