Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery cover assembly feeding, and in particular to a vibratory feeder that facilitates battery cover assembly feeding. Background Technology

[0002] The battery cover is an important component of a battery, usually located at the top or one end. It plays a crucial role in sealing, protecting, and electrically connecting the battery. Sealing: The battery cover effectively prevents external moisture, dust, and impurities from entering the battery, avoiding corrosion or interference with the electrodes and electrolyte. This ensures stable chemical reactions within the battery and extends its lifespan. Protection: It provides physical protection for the electrodes and electrolyte, preventing damage from external impacts and pressure, and ensuring the integrity of the battery structure. Electrical Connection: The battery cover typically has terminals or other structures to connect the battery's internal circuitry to external circuits, allowing the battery to output or input electrical energy to meet the power needs of different devices.

[0003] However, during the battery cover assembly process, the battery cover gaskets, due to their material properties, are prone to electrostatic adsorption, causing them to stick together tightly when stacked, making them difficult to separate quickly and effectively. This not only increases the difficulty of initial material preparation but also seriously affects feeding efficiency, making it difficult for materials to enter the subsequent conveying process individually and independently in a short time. Furthermore, the existing vibratory feeders are not effective in material orientation, with gaskets exhibiting different postures on the conveying track within the vibratory feeder, making it difficult to achieve a uniform orientation. This results in inconsistent directions and postures of the gaskets delivered each time, failing to meet the strict requirements of automated assembly equipment for material consistency. Consequently, this reduces assembly accuracy and success rate, and increases the defect rate. At the same time, during the gasket conveying process, due to design flaws in the vibratory feeder conveying track and dimensional deviations of the gaskets themselves, jamming frequently occurs. Once jamming occurs, the machine needs to be stopped for manual cleaning and adjustment, which greatly affects production continuity and increases production and time costs.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a vibratory feeder that facilitates the feeding of battery cover assembly. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a vibratory feeder for easy battery cover assembly. Through the combination of the vibratory feeder, frustum, and spiral track, it achieves efficient material separation and three-stage orientation. The adaptive conveyor track prevents material jamming, solving the industry's problems of electrostatic adsorption and material handling. This improves the feeding efficiency and production stability of battery cover assembly. Furthermore, the U-shaped baffle and hollow holes facilitate easy removal of gaskets by workers, solving the problem of strong gasket adsorption and difficulty in material handling. This comprehensively improves the feeding efficiency of battery cover assembly, contributing to increased overall production efficiency and reduced production costs.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A vibratory feeder for facilitating battery cover assembly includes a vibratory feeder, a frustum fixedly connected inside the vibratory feeder, a conveying track connected to the rear end of the vibratory feeder, a hollow hole at the left end of the conveying track, a U-shaped baffle at the left end of the hollow hole, the U-shaped baffle being fixedly connected to the conveying track, a conveying trough inside the vibratory feeder connected to the conveying track, a guide groove break at the end of the conveying trough away from the conveying track, a spiral track inside the vibratory feeder adapted to the frustum, attitude adjustment air holes on the surface of the spiral track, and an inclined air pipe fixedly connected to the top of the conveying trough, with an air blowing hole at the front of the inclined air pipe.

[0008] Furthermore, a drive controller is fixedly connected to the left end of the bottom of the vibrating plate, and the drive controller is electrically connected to the vibrating plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the vibratory feeder includes a vibratory motor and a feeder body.

[0010] Furthermore, the spiral track includes an inclined track surface and an inclined blocking convex surface.

[0011] Furthermore, an adjustment cover is provided above the conveying track.

[0012] Furthermore, the drive controller includes an integrated frequency converter and sensors.

[0013] Furthermore, the top of the frustum is provided with washers, all of which are adapted to the spiral track, U-shaped groove and hollow hole.

[0014] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. High-efficiency material separation and orientation: Through the combined action of the rotation and vibration of the truncated cone and the oblique air blowing pipe, stacked battery cover gaskets can be quickly separated and dropped onto the spiral track, completing the initial first-level orientation. The unique inclined surface design of the spiral track, along with the coordination of the posture adjustment air holes, guide groove breaks, and oblique air blowing pipes, can gradually adjust the gaskets from a vertical to a horizontal position, achieving the second-level orientation. At the same time, the air holes and air blowing pipes can blow incorrectly positioned gaskets back to the truncated cone for readjustment, achieving the third-level orientation. This greatly improves the accuracy and efficiency of material orientation, ensuring that the posture of each delivered gasket is consistent and meets assembly requirements.

[0016] 2. Anti-jamming design enhances conveying stability: The conveying track adopts an adaptive width design and is covered with an adaptive height adjustment cover; it can automatically adjust the width and height of the track according to the actual size of the gasket and the conveying status, effectively preventing the gasket from jamming due to size deviation or posture problems during the conveying process, ensuring the smooth progress of the entire feeding process, greatly reducing downtime maintenance time caused by jamming, and improving the continuity and stability of production.

[0017] 3. The U-shaped groove and hollow hole make it easy for workers to pick out the gaskets, solving the problem of strong adhesion and difficulty in material removal of the gaskets. This comprehensively improves the efficiency of battery cover assembly and feeding, helps to improve overall production efficiency and reduce production costs. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Reference Figures 1-3 As shown, a vibratory feeder for facilitating battery cover assembly feeding is provided in a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It includes a vibratory feeder 1, a frustum 2 fixedly connected inside the vibratory feeder 1, a conveying track 6 connected to the rear end of the vibratory feeder 1, a hollow hole 3 provided at the left end of the conveying track 6, a U-shaped baffle 7 provided at the left end of the hollow hole 3, the U-shaped baffle 7 being fixedly connected to the conveying track 6, a conveying trough 5 provided inside the vibratory feeder 1, the conveying trough 5 being connected to the conveying track 6, a guide groove break 9 provided at the end of the conveying trough 5 away from the conveying track 6, a spiral track 4 provided inside the vibratory feeder 1, the spiral track 4 being adapted to the frustum 2, an attitude adjustment air hole 12 provided on the surface of the spiral track 4, and an inclined air blowing pipe 10 fixedly connected to the top end of the conveying trough 5, an air blowing hole 11 provided on the front side of the inclined air blowing pipe 10.

[0025] A drive controller 13 is fixedly connected to the left end of the bottom of the vibrating plate 1, and the drive controller 13 is electrically connected to the vibrating plate 1.

[0026] The vibratory plate 1 includes a vibratory motor and a plate body.

[0027] The spiral track 4 includes an inclined track surface and an inclined barrier convex surface.

[0028] An adjustment cover is placed over the conveyor track 6.

[0029] The drive controller 13 includes an integrated frequency converter and sensors.

[0030] The top of the truncated cone 2 is provided with washers 14, which are adapted to the spiral track 4, the U-shaped groove 7 and the hollow hole 3.

[0031] In this plan:

[0032] Vibratory feeder: Employs electromagnetic drive to generate high-frequency micro-amplitude vibration;

[0033] Frustum: The bottom of the vibrating plate is a platform where materials accumulate. By using rotation, vibration, and a material separation oblique blowpipe, the gaskets fall onto the spiral track, solving the problem of gaskets being difficult to separate due to electrostatic adsorption.

[0034] Spiral track: includes an inclined track surface and an inclined blocking convex surface, located inside the disc. The surface has guide grooves suitable for the size of the object. It uses rotation and different inclination angles of the track to transport and adjust the washers. The washers are adsorbed on the track, which is easy to get stuck and affects the transport efficiency.

[0035] The spiral track, attitude adjustment air hole, guide groove break, and oblique air blowing pipe serve as the orientation mechanism;

[0036] Conveyor track: A conveyor track connected to the end of the vibratory feeder, equipped with an adjustable width adjustment mechanism, and covered with an adjustable height adjustment cover;

[0037] The U-shaped groove and hollow hole are designed to fit the gasket, which is the final delivery point for the gasket. Workers can use a pick to quickly pick out the gasket, solving the problem of strong gasket adhesion and difficulty in material removal.

[0038] Drive controller: integrates frequency converter and sensor to achieve intelligent adjustment of vibration frequency.

[0039] Frustum: The bottom of the vibrating disc, the platform where materials accumulate. It uses rotational vibration and a material separation oblique blowpipe to make the gasket fall onto the spiral track, separating the stacked materials; it is the first-stage directional system.

[0040] The components include a spiral track, attitude adjustment air holes, guide groove breaks, and inclined air blowing pipes. The spiral track has a certain inclination angle, which gradually decreases as the vibrating plate moves upwards. The track friction and inclination angle are used to gradually adjust the vertical position of the washer. Before the washer reaches the guide groove break, the attitude adjustment air holes blow the vertical washer into a horizontal position, where it lies prone on the inclined blocking convex surface. The inclined air blowing pipe has an adaptive angle to blow the washer and adjusts the angle as it passes the inclined blocking convex surface, causing the washer to slide into the conveying trough, changing it from vertical to horizontal. If the washer is not blown by the air holes, it passes through a certain inclined guide groove break and receives a certain inclination from the inclined air blowing pipe, causing the vertical washer to become horizontal, which is a secondary orientation.

[0041] Air inlet and air pipe: An air inlet and an air pipe at a certain angle blow the incorrectly positioned washer onto the circular platform, which is a three-level orientation; thus realizing a multi-level orientation system.

[0042] The spiral track uses an inclined surface. When the overlapping washers reach a certain height, they will fall off the truncated cone due to the weight of the inclined surface and the washers themselves. The conveyor track adopts an adaptive width design and is equipped with an adaptive height adjustment cover to prevent material jamming.

[0043] Specific implementation process: First, the battery cover gaskets to be assembled are placed on the frustum 2 inside the vibratory feeder 1. The integrated frequency converter in the drive controller 13 is started, controlling the vibration motor of the vibratory feeder 1 to start working, causing the vibratory feeder 1 to generate high-frequency micro-amplitude vibration. The frustum 2 rotates and vibrates under the drive of the vibratory feeder 1. At this time, the gaskets piled on the frustum 2 begin to fall from the frustum 2 onto the spiral track 4 due to the vibration and the action of the inclined air pipe 10, realizing the initial separation of the gaskets from the stacked state and completing the first-stage orientation; the gaskets on the spiral track 4, due to the spiral track... Track 4 includes an inclined track surface and an inclined blocking convex surface. The inclined track surface has a certain inclination angle. As the washer moves upward along the spiral track 4, the inclination angle gradually decreases. Under the combined action of track friction and inclination angle, the washer's posture begins to gradually adjust. When the washer moves to the guide groove break 9, the posture adjustment air hole 12 blows out air, turning the washer from a vertical position into a horizontal position, causing it to lie flat on the inclined blocking convex surface. At the same time, the air hole 11 on the inclined air pipe 10 blows the washer at an adaptive angle, allowing the washer to pass through the inclined blocking convex surface. After adjusting the angle, the washer slides towards the conveyor trough 5. During this process, the originally vertical washer becomes horizontal, achieving secondary orientation. If any washer is in an incorrect position while moving along the conveyor trough 5, the air hole 11 and the oblique air pipe 10 will blow it down onto the frustum 2 at a certain angle for readjustment and conveying, completing tertiary orientation. After multi-stage orientation adjustment, the washer enters the conveyor track 6 along the conveyor trough 5. Because the conveyor track 6 adopts an adaptive width design and is covered with an adaptive height adjustment cover, it can effectively prevent… This prevents washer jamming during transport. The washer is eventually transported to the hollow hole 3 at the left end of the transport track 6. The U-shaped groove 7 at this point is fixedly connected to the transport track 6. Workers can use a pick to quickly pick the washer out from the U-shaped groove 7 and the hollow hole 3. This solves the major problem in the industry that washers, due to their high geometric symmetry, become disordered during transport, resulting in poor output consistency. It also addresses the issue that film washers are easily attracted together by static electricity, making them difficult to separate and feed. Furthermore, washers are easily stuck in the track gaps or guide mechanisms due to static electricity, affecting transport efficiency.
