[0028] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the installation of the transverse drive component in an embodiment of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0029] The battery cell aligning device of this utility model will now be described in more detail with reference to the schematic diagrams, which illustrate preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can modify the utility model described herein while still achieving its advantageous effects. Therefore, the following description should be understood as being of general knowledge to those skilled in the art and is not intended to limit the utility model.

[0030] The present invention will be described in more detail below by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. The advantages and features of the present invention will become clearer from the following description. It should be noted that the drawings are in a very simplified form and use non-precise proportions, and are only used to facilitate and clarify the illustration of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment proposes a device for tidying up battery cells, including a placement base 1, a mounting base 2, and push plates 3; the placement base 1 is used to place the battery cells; the mounting base 2 is located above the placement base 1, and the top center of the mounting base 2 is connected to an electric guide rail 5 for driving the mounting base 2 to move horizontally via a first lifting cylinder 4, and the bottom center of the mounting base 2 is connected to a suction cup assembly 7 for adsorbing the battery cells via a second lifting cylinder 6; there are four push plates 3, which are slidably installed around the bottom of the mounting base 2, and the four push plates 3 are connected to a synchronous drive assembly 8; the synchronous drive assembly 8 is installed on the mounting base 2 and is used to drive the four push plates 3 to move synchronously towards or away from the center of the mounting base 2.

[0032] In this embodiment, during battery cell packaging, the battery cells are placed on the placement base 1. Then, the first lifting cylinder 4 is activated, lowering the mounting base 2 to a designated position. Next, the synchronous drive assembly 8 is activated, causing four push plates 3 to synchronously move towards the center of the mounting base 2, contacting the four edges of the battery cell and ensuring it is centered on the placement base 1. Then, the second lifting cylinder 6 is activated, lowering the suction cup assembly 7 to pick up the battery cell from the placement base 1. The first lifting cylinder 4, the second lifting cylinder 6, and the electric guide rail 5 then work together to transfer the battery cell to the packaging area. This cycle is repeated to achieve neat stacking of multiple battery cells.

[0033] In summary, the battery cell straightening device provided in this embodiment drives four push plates 3 to move synchronously toward the center of the placement base 1 through the synchronous drive component 8, which can straighten the battery cells placed on the placement base 1. With the help of the electric guide rail 5 and the suction cup component 7, the straightened battery cells are transferred to the designated position, realizing automatic straightening of battery cells before packaging, and solving the problem of low efficiency of manual straightening in the prior art.

[0034] In the above embodiment, the placement base 1 includes a seat 11, on which a plurality of ball bearings 12 are rotatably mounted. The ball bearings 12 reduce the friction between the battery cells and the placement base 1, thereby lowering the risk of battery cell wear.

[0035] In the above embodiment, the electric guide rail 5 includes a linear track 51 and a slider 52; the slider 52 is connected to the mounting base 2 through the first lifting cylinder 4, and the slider 52 is slidably mounted on the linear track 51; a transverse drive component for driving the slider 52 is mounted on the linear track 51.

[0036] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 The transverse drive includes a transverse lead screw 53 and a transverse motor 54; the transverse lead screw 53 is rotatably mounted in the linear track 51 and is threadedly connected to the slider 52; the transverse motor 54 is fixed at one end of the linear track 51 and the output shaft of the transverse motor 54 is connected to the transverse lead screw 53 for transmission.

[0037] By starting the transverse motor 54, the transverse lead screw 53 is driven to rotate, which in turn drives the slider 52 to move laterally along the linear track 51, thereby transferring the battery cells adsorbed on the suction cup assembly 7.

[0038] Furthermore, the transverse motor 54 is a servo motor to ensure precise programmed control during the transfer of battery cells.

[0039] In the above embodiment, the synchronous drive assembly 8 includes a drive gear 81, a correction motor 82, and a drive rack 83; the drive gear 81 is rotatably mounted in the middle of the mounting base 2; the correction motor 82 is fixed on the mounting base 2, and the output shaft of the correction motor 82 is connected to the drive gear 81; there are four drive racks 83, all four drive racks 83 mesh with the drive gear 81, and the four drive racks 83 are respectively connected to the four push plates 3.

[0040] When the correction motor 82 starts, it drives the drive gear 81 to rotate, which in turn drives the four drive racks 83 to move synchronously, thus realizing the synchronous movement of the four push plates 3 connected to the four drive racks 83.

[0041] Furthermore, the correction motor 82 is a servo motor to ensure precise programmed control during the movement of the push plate 3.

[0042] In the above embodiment, the suction cup assembly 7 includes a suction cup seat 71 connected to the second lifting cylinder 6. A plurality of vacuum suction cups 72 are installed at intervals on the bottom surface of the suction cup seat 71. The plurality of vacuum suction cups 72 are connected to a vacuum pump (not shown in the figure), and the vacuum pump is installed on the suction cup seat 71.

[0043] When the vacuum pump starts, it extracts the air from inside the vacuum suction cup 72, reducing the air pressure inside the vacuum suction cup 72 and creating a vacuum environment. As air is continuously extracted, the pressure inside the vacuum suction cup 72 gradually decreases, creating a pressure difference with the external atmospheric pressure.

[0044] After a vacuum is formed inside the vacuum suction cup 72, the external atmospheric pressure is higher than the internal pressure of the suction cup. The atmospheric pressure will press the vacuum suction cup 72 tightly against the surface of the battery cell. According to the principle of pressure difference, this pressure difference will generate an adsorption force, which will enable the vacuum suction cup 72 to be firmly adsorbed onto the battery cell.

[0045] Once the vacuum suction cup 72 has attracted the battery cell, it can be moved to the designated position by the electric guide rail 5. During the transportation process, as long as the vacuum state inside the vacuum suction cup 72 is maintained, the attraction force will continue to exist, and the battery cell can be stably transferred.

[0046] Once the battery cell is transported to the target location, external air is allowed to enter the vacuum suction cup 72 by controlling valves and other devices, breaking the vacuum state. The internal pressure of the vacuum suction cup 72 is then balanced with the external atmospheric pressure, the suction force disappears, and the vacuum suction cup 72 can separate from the battery cell, completing the battery cell transport task.

[0047] In summary, compared with the prior art, this utility model has at least the following advantages:

[0048] The battery cell tidying device provided by this utility model drives four push plates to synchronously approach the center of the placement base through a synchronous drive component, which can tidy up the battery cells placed on the placement base. With the help of electric guide rail and suction cup component, the tidyed battery cells are transferred to the designated position, realizing automatic tidying of battery cells before packaging, and solving the problem of low efficiency of manual tidying in the prior art.

[0049] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
