Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of steel shell feeding technology, and in particular relates to a cylindrical lithium battery steel shell feeding device. Background Technology
[0002] Lithium-ion batteries are a type of battery that uses lithium metal or lithium alloys as positive / negative electrode materials and a non-aqueous electrolyte solution. With the rapid development of industries such as mobile phones, laptops, digital cameras, electric vehicles, power tools, and new energy vehicles in China, the demand for lithium-ion batteries will continue to grow. Furthermore, due to technological innovations by lithium-ion battery manufacturers, the demand for lithium-ion batteries will continue to increase.
[0003] Traditional cylindrical lithium battery steel casings require manual loading, which is costly and inefficient. To address this, a cylindrical lithium battery steel casing loading device was developed. However, due to the cylindrical shape of the steel casing, existing loading devices are prone to the casing rolling up or getting stuck during the loading process, resulting in reduced loading efficiency. Furthermore, traditional loading devices require frequent component replacements when processing different battery models, which is inconvenient. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a cylindrical lithium battery steel shell feeding device, which can effectively solve the problems of the existing technology.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model is a cylindrical lithium battery steel shell feeding device, including: a body, a feeding bin located inside the body, a vibration motor installed on one side of the feeding bin, a storage bin located below the feeding bin inside the body, and limiting posts on both sides of the feeding bin;
[0007] The feature is that it also includes: an array of waist-shaped slots are provided on both sides of the machine body, and limiting posts with the same number and size as the slots on both sides of the feed bin are fixed inside the machine body;
[0008] The storage silo is equipped with a rotating shaft, and a set of limit keys are fixed on the rotating shaft. The roller is installed on the rotating shaft through the round hole opened inside it and the slot that matches the upper limit key of the rotating shaft.
[0009] The roller shaft is fixed with another set of limit keys identical to those on the rotating shaft. The distributor is installed on the roller shaft, and the inside of the distributor is opened with another set of slots identical to those inside the roller shaft.
[0010] Furthermore, a support plate is fixed on the side of the storage bin away from the vibration motor, and a drive motor is installed inside the support plate. The drive end of the drive motor is connected to a rotating shaft installed inside the storage bin.
[0011] Furthermore, a pad is installed on the side of the rotating shaft away from the drive motor, and a positioning bolt is also installed on the pad. The rotating shaft has a threaded hole that matches the thread on the positioning bolt. The rotating shaft and the pad are connected and fixed by the positioning bolt.
[0012] Furthermore, the roller shaft and the distributor are both provided with slots at the slot positions, and the rotating shaft, roller shaft and distributor are connected and fixed inside the slots by machine screws.
[0013] Furthermore, a conveyor belt is provided below the storage silo, and connecting frames are fixed on both sides of the bottom of the storage silo, which are connected to both sides of the conveyor belt.
[0014] Furthermore, the surface of the feeder is provided with a slot that matches the size of the steel shell being processed, and multiple sets of feeders with different slot sizes are provided for easy replacement.
[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] This invention features multiple sets of waist-shaped slots on both sides of the machine body. Limiting posts fixed to both sides of the feeding hopper cooperate with these slots, allowing the limiting posts to move along the slot direction. The funnel-shaped design inside the feeding hopper allows materials to fall into the storage hopper along a ramp. The channel at the bottom of the feeding hopper is designed for horizontal passage only, allowing obliquely or upright materials to remain inside. A vibrating motor installed on one side of the feeding hopper drives the hopper to vibrate inside the machine body, simultaneously vibrating the materials inside until they pass through the channel at the bottom of the feeding hopper. This effectively solves the blockage caused by materials standing upright or at an angle during feeding. By setting a positioning bolt and threaded connection with the rotating shaft, and using a pad to limit the position of the roller shaft and the distributor, the position of the roller shaft and the distributor will not shift when the drive motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate. When processing different types of steel shells, only the positioning bolt needs to be unscrewed to replace the distributor. The operation is simple and convenient, which can effectively reduce the time for replacing components and improve efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-4As shown, this utility model is a cylindrical lithium battery steel shell feeding device, including: a body 1, a feeding bin 2 located inside the body 1, a vibration motor 3 installed on one side of the feeding bin 2, a storage bin 4 located inside the body 1 below the feeding bin 2, and limiting posts 5 on both sides of the feeding bin 2; it also includes: the feeding bin 2 installed inside the body 1, multiple sets of waist-shaped slots opened on both sides of the body 1, and limiting posts 5 of the same number as the waist-shaped slots fixed on both sides of the feeding bin 2, and the feeding bin 2 is installed inside the body 1 through the limiting posts 5; a vibration motor 3 is installed on one side of the feeding bin 2, and a groove is opened on the same side of the body 1 to allow the vibration motor 3 to pass through. After the vibration motor 3 is driven by electricity, the feeding bin 2 vibrates back and forth along the direction of the waist-shaped slots on both sides of the body 1. The inner wall of the body 1 is also provided with an elastic buffer pad to avoid damage caused by the vibration of the feeding bin 2. A support plate 12 is fixed on the side of the storage silo 4 away from the vibrating motor 3. A drive motor 13 is installed inside the support plate 12. A slot is formed on the side of the storage silo 4 near the support plate 12, and a coupling is installed inside the slot. One side of the rotating shaft 6 passes through the storage silo 4 and is connected to the drive end of the drive motor 13 via the coupling. A set of limit keys 10 is fixed on the rotating shaft 6. A slot is formed on the roller shaft 7 that mates with the rotating shaft 6, allowing the rotating shaft 6 and the limit keys 10 to pass through the inside of the roller shaft 7. Another set of identical limit keys 10 is fixed on the roller shaft 7. A slot is formed inside the distributor 8 that mates with the roller shaft 7, allowing the roller shaft 7 to pass through the inside of the distributor 8. The roller 7 and the distributor 8 are provided with screw holes. The roller 7 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 6 and the distributor 8 is fixedly connected to the roller 7 by machine screws. The rotating shaft 6 is provided with a threaded hole on the side away from the drive motor 13. The pad 9 is provided with the same threaded hole. The positioning bolt 11 is provided with threads that match the rotating shaft 6 and the pad 9. The positioning bolt 11 passes through the pad 9 and is connected and fixed to the rotating shaft 6. The storage bin 4 is provided with a groove on one side so that the pad 9 can be pressed on the groove on one side of the storage bin 4 when it is installed. This can further prevent the roller 7 and the distributor 8 from shifting position when the drive motor 13 drives the rotating shaft 6 to rotate.
[0026] During processing, the material is first poured in from above the opening of the feeding hopper 2. Due to the funnel-shaped design of the feeding hopper 2, the material rolls from inside the feeding hopper 2 along the slope to the bottom where it connects with the storage hopper 4. Then, based on the channel design at the bottom of the feeding hopper 2, only horizontal passage is allowed, allowing inclined or upright materials to remain inside the feeding hopper 2. By driving the vibration motor 3 fixed on one side of the feeding hopper 2, the feeding hopper 2 vibrates along the waist-shaped slots opened on both sides of the machine body 1. This vibration changes the direction of the material, allowing it to pass through. After entering the storage silo 4, the material is kept inside the silo 4 by the funnel-shaped design of the silo 4. The material is then inserted into the groove on the distributor 8, which is the same size as the steel shell being processed. The drive motor 13 then drives the rotating shaft 6, which in turn drives the connected roller shaft 7 and distributor 8 to rotate. When the material follows the distributor 8 to the outlet below the storage silo 4, it falls in the same direction onto the conveyor belt 14 below the storage silo 4 and is then transported to the next location by the conveyor belt 14.
[0027] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and do not limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or to some of the technical features, shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
