[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a buffer conveying device for a battery production line, comprising a device body, a plurality of partitions fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the device body, two first conveyor belts and two second conveyor belts arranged inside the device body, the two first conveyor belts and the two second conveyor belts being arranged alternately, a first roller being arranged inside each of the two first conveyor belts, a first gear being fixedly connected to the outer surface of each of the two first rollers, a second roller being arranged inside each of the two second conveyor belts, a second gear being fixedly connected to the outer surface of each of the second rollers, the outer surfaces of adjacent first gears meshing with the outer surfaces of second gears, the outer surfaces of the first rollers being rotatably connected to the interior of the partitions, the outer surfaces of the second rollers being rotatably connected to the interior of the partitions, a motor being fixedly connected to one side of the device body, the output end of the motor being fixedly connected to one end of a first roller via a coupling.

[0006] Preferably, the device body has a limiting shaft rotatably connected inside, and a plurality of third rollers are rotatably connected to the outer surface of the limiting shaft. The outer surfaces of the plurality of third rollers are respectively in contact with the inner walls of the two first conveyor belts and the two second conveyor belts. The device body has three stops fixedly connected inside.

[0007] Preferably, each of the plurality of partitions has two positioning posts rotatably connected inside, and each of the plurality of positioning posts has a limit plate fixedly connected to its upper surface. A connecting plate is rotatably connected between two adjacent limit plates.

[0008] Preferably, the surface of the connecting plate is provided with a first groove, and a slider is slidably connected inside the first groove.

[0009] Preferably, two support blocks are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the device body, and a threaded rod is rotatably connected between the two support blocks. One end of the threaded rod is fixedly connected to a rotating disk.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. This buffer conveyor device for battery production lines operates by starting a motor to drive a first roller to rotate. The friction between the first roller and the first conveyor belt causes the first conveyor belt to rotate, further moving the batteries on the first conveyor belt to the left until they reach the far left and contact a stop. The batteries then slide onto the side of the second conveyor belt until they enter its upper surface. The friction between the second roller and the second conveyor belt causes the transferred batteries to move to the right, resulting in an S-shaped buffer arrangement of the batteries entering the device. This serves as a temporary storage for produced batteries, addressing various unexpected situations on the production line, ensuring normal operation of processes, and improving production efficiency.

[0015] 2. This buffer conveyor device, used on a battery production line, rotates a turntable, which drives a threaded rod to rotate, causing the threaded rod to engage in threaded transmission with a slider. As the slider moves back and forth, it slides inside the first chute. Batteries that have moved to the upper surface of the second conveyor belt first contact the limiting plate and then move towards the center of the second conveyor belt along the slope of the limiting plate. Adjusting the distance between the connecting plate and the center of the second conveyor belt helps to move the battery's center of gravity to the center of the second conveyor belt, ensuring the battery can be safely and stably placed and stored. This prevents batteries from stopping or rotating in place at the junction of the first and second conveyor belts, thus avoiding collisions and damage to subsequent batteries.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: a buffer conveying device for a battery production line, comprising a device body 1, with multiple partitions 8 fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the device body 1, two first conveyor belts 5 and two second conveyor belts 13 arranged inside the device body 1, the two first conveyor belts 5 and the two second conveyor belts 13 being arranged alternately, each of the two first conveyor belts 5 having a first roller 20 inside, and each of the two first rollers 20 having a first gear 21 fixedly connected to its outer surface, and each of the two second conveyor belts 13 having a second roller 23 inside. The outer surfaces of both rollers 23 are fixedly connected to second gears 22. The outer surfaces of adjacent first gears 21 mesh with the outer surfaces of second gears 22. The outer surfaces of first rollers 20 and second rollers 23 are rotatably connected to the interior of partition 8. A motor 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the device body 1. The output end of the motor 2 is fixedly connected to one end of a first roller 20 via a coupling. A limit shaft 18 is rotatably connected inside the device body 1. Multiple third rollers 24 are rotatably connected to the outer surfaces of the limit shaft 18. The outer surfaces of the multiple third rollers 24 are respectively... The device body 1 is fitted with the inner walls of the two first conveyor belts 5 and the two second conveyor belts 13. Three stops 3 are fixedly connected inside the body. During use, the starting motor 2 drives the first roller 20 to rotate. The friction between the first roller 20 and the first conveyor belt 5 causes the first conveyor belt 5 to rotate, further moving the battery on the first conveyor belt 5 to the left until the battery reaches the leftmost position and contacts the stop 3. Using the inclined surface of the stop 3, the battery slides to one side of the second conveyor belt 13 until it enters the upper surface of the second conveyor belt 13. At this time, the first roller 20 drives the first conveyor belt 13 to rotate. A gear 21 rotates, and the meshing transmission between the first gear 21 and the second gear 22 causes the second roller 23 to rotate. Furthermore, the friction between the second roller 23 and the second conveyor belt 13 drives the batteries transferred to the second conveyor belt 13 to move to the right. The remaining adjacent first gears 21 and second gears 22 mesh in sequence, driving the subsequent first conveyor belt 5 and second conveyor belt 13 to rotate, so that the batteries entering the device are arranged in an S-shaped buffer arrangement, which serves as a temporary storage for the batteries produced, so that the usable process can proceed normally and improve production efficiency.

[0025] Among them, each of the multiple partitions 8 has two rotatably connected to its interior, and each of the multiple positioning posts 19 has a fixedly connected limit plate 9 on its upper surface. A connecting plate 10 is rotatably connected between two adjacent limit plates 9. The partitions 8 are used to limit the position of the positioning posts 19.

[0026] The connecting plate 10 has a first groove 11 on its surface, and a slider 12 is slidably connected inside the first groove 11. The first groove 11 serves to limit the position of the slider 12.

[0027] Two support blocks 4 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the device body 1. A threaded rod 6 is rotatably connected between the two support blocks 4. A rotating disk 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod 6. The threaded rod 6 is used to drive the slider 12 through the thread and adjust the position of the slider 12.

[0028] The outer surface of the threaded rod 6 is connected to the internal thread of the slider 12, and the internal thread of the slider 12 is compatible with the thread on the outer surface of the threaded rod 6. The threaded rod 6 and the slider 12 work together to change the placement angle of the limiting plate 9 and the distance between the connecting plate 10 and the middle position of the conveyor belt.

[0029] The upper surface of the device body 1 is provided with a third conveyor belt 17, and a limit box 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the device body 1. A rubber push plate 14 is slidably connected inside the limit box 15. The limit box 15 serves to limit the position of the rubber push plate 14.

[0030] The limit box 15 is internally fixedly connected to an electric telescopic rod 16. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 16 is fixedly connected to the inside of the rubber push plate 14. The electric telescopic rod 16 is used to push the rubber push plate 14 to push the battery into the upper surface of 5.

[0031] The motor is existing technology and will not be discussed in detail here. The components that match the motor include connecting wires, power supply, and microcontroller, which are also existing structures and will not be discussed in detail here.

[0032] Working principle: When buffering is required, the electric telescopic rod 16 is activated, which pushes the rubber pusher plate 14 to move, pushing the battery moving above the third conveyor belt 17 into the upper surface of the first conveyor belt 5. Then, the motor 2 is activated to drive the first roller 20 to rotate. The friction between the first roller 20 and the first conveyor belt 5 causes the first conveyor belt 5 to rotate, further driving the battery on the first conveyor belt 5 to move to the left until the battery moves to the far left and contacts the stop block 3. Using the inclined surface of the stop block 3, the battery slides to one side of the second conveyor belt 13 until it enters the upper surface of the second conveyor belt 13. At this time, the rotating disk 7 is rotated, which drives the threaded rod 6 to rotate, so that the threaded rod 6 and the slider 12 are threadedly driven. During the back-and-forth movement of the slider 12, it slides inside the first slide groove 11, causing the connecting plate 10 to be adjusted to the middle or edge position of the second conveyor belt 13, so that the battery can move to the middle of the second conveyor belt 13. The batteries, once positioned on the upper surface of the second conveyor belt 13, first contact the limiting plate 9 and move towards the center of the second conveyor belt 13 along the slope of the limiting plate 9. This ensures the batteries are safely and stably placed on the upper surface of the second conveyor belt 13, preventing them from rotating in place and colliding, causing damage, when they are located at the junction of the first conveyor belt 5 and the second conveyor belt 13. The first roller 20 drives the first gear 21 to rotate, and the meshing transmission between the first gear 21 and the second gear 22 causes the second roller 23 to rotate. Furthermore, the friction between the second roller 23 and the second conveyor belt 13 drives the batteries transferred to the second conveyor belt 13 to move to the right. The remaining adjacent first gears 21 and second gears 22 mesh in sequence, driving the subsequent first conveyor belt 5 and second conveyor belt 13 to rotate, so that the batteries entering the device are arranged in an S-shaped buffer arrangement, which serves as a temporary storage for the batteries produced, so that the use process can proceed normally and improve production efficiency.
