Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cylindrical battery production technology, specifically to a cylindrical battery steel shell insertion machine. [Background Technology]

[0002] Currently, in the production of cylindrical batteries, the precise insertion and positioning of the steel casing is a crucial step affecting the quality of battery assembly. Traditional steel casing insertion equipment mostly uses mechanical grippers or vacuum suction cups to transfer the steel casing into the fixture. However, in actual production, due to the smooth surface of the steel casing and the high requirement for its regular shape, existing equipment is easily affected by inertia or vibration during rapid transfer, leading to problems such as offset and tilting when the steel casing is inserted into the fixture, which affects the concentricity of subsequent cell assembly.

[0003] In addition, some equipment relies on the natural positioning when the suction cup is released, but when there is a gap between the steel shell and the inner wall of the fixture, the steel shell may not be completely attached to the bottom of the fixture, resulting in uneven height of the steel shell, which requires manual secondary correction and reduces production efficiency.

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is proposed in this study. [Utility Model Content]

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a cylindrical battery steel shell insertion machine. By setting a steel shell pressing component, the steel shell in the insertion fixture can be pressed and pressed into place, preventing the steel shell insertion mechanism from not placing the steel shell in place and causing problems such as displacement.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a cylindrical battery steel shell insertion machine, comprising:

[0007] frame;

[0008] A conveyor belt, mounted on a frame, is used to transport steel shells;

[0009] A fixture conveying mechanism, mounted on the frame, is used to convey fixtures;

[0010] A steel shell insertion mechanism, located on the frame, is used to grab the steel shells conveyed by the conveyor belt and insert them into the fixtures conveyed by the fixture conveying mechanism.

[0011] The steel shell clamping assembly is located in the steel shell insertion mechanism and is used to clamp the steel shell after it is inserted into the fixture.

[0012] As described above, a cylindrical battery steel shell insertion machine includes a steel shell insertion mechanism comprising a support frame, a transverse module, a Z-axis module, a suction cup assembly, and a rotating module. The support frame is mounted on the machine frame, the transverse module is mounted on the support frame, the Z-axis module is mounted on the slide of the transverse module and is driven by the transverse module to move transversely, the rotating module is mounted on the slide of the Z-axis module and is driven by the Z-axis module to move up and down, the suction cup assembly is mounted on the rotating module and is driven by the rotating module to rotate, and a steel shell pressing assembly is located on one side of the rotating module.

[0013] As described above, a cylindrical battery steel shell insertion machine includes a rotating module comprising a mounting plate on a Z-axis module slide and a pair of support plates spaced apart at the bottom of the mounting plate. The rotating module also includes a rotating shaft and a drive motor on the mounting plate for driving the rotating shaft to rotate. The two ends of the rotating shaft are rotatably connected to the corresponding support plates, and the suction cup assembly is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft.

[0014] As described above, a cylindrical battery steel shell insertion machine has an active synchronous pulley on the output shaft of the drive motor and a driven synchronous pulley on the rotating shaft, with a synchronous belt wound between the active and driven synchronous pulleys.

[0015] As described above, a cylindrical battery steel casing insertion machine has a tensioning wheel on the mounting plate for adjusting the tension of the timing belt.

[0016] As described above, a cylindrical battery steel casing insertion machine has a steel casing clamping assembly mounted on a mounting plate. The steel casing clamping assembly includes a clamping plate and several clamping cylinders mounted on the mounting plate. The piston rods of the clamping cylinders are connected to the clamping plate.

[0017] As described above, a cylindrical battery steel shell insertion machine includes a fixture conveying mechanism comprising a linear module mounted on a frame and a tray mounted on a linear module slide.

[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model's cylindrical battery steel shell insertion machine are as follows: By setting a steel shell clamping component, this application can clamp and press the steel shell in the insertion fixture into place, preventing the steel shell insertion mechanism from failing to place the steel shell in the correct position, thus eliminating the need for manual correction. Furthermore, compared to manual clamping, it is more precise, resulting in a more flush steel shell after clamping, facilitating subsequent operations. [Attached Image Description]

When inserting the steel shell, the fixture conveying mechanism 3 conveys the fixture to the working area of ​​the steel shell insertion mechanism 4, which then grabs the steel shells from the conveyor belt 2 and inserts them into the fixture. Subsequently, the steel shell pressing assembly 5 presses the steel shells firmly. By setting the steel shell pressing assembly 5, this application can press and position the steel shells inserted into the fixture, preventing the steel shell insertion mechanism 4 from not placing the steel shells in the correct position. Furthermore, the pressed steel shells can be more flush for subsequent operations.

In this embodiment, the steel shell is placed flat on the conveyor belt 2. After the suction cup assembly 43 adsorbs the steel shell, the rotating module 44 rotates the suction cup assembly 43 to stand the steel shell upright. Then, in conjunction with the transverse module 41 and the Z-axis module 42, the steel shell is inserted into the fixture. It should be noted that the transverse module 41 and the Z-axis module 42 can be driven by a motor or lead screw, or by a cylinder. This type of moving module is conventional technology and will not be described in detail in this application. In addition, it should be noted that the suction cup assembly 43 can be composed of multiple vacuum suction cup assemblies 43, which can simultaneously adsorb multiple steel shells, improving production efficiency.

[0031] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, as a further embodiment, the rotating module 44 includes a mounting plate 440 on the slide of the Z-axis module 42 and a pair of support plates 441 spaced apart at the bottom of the mounting plate 440.

The driven synchronous wheel 445 can then drive the rotating shaft 442 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 442 can then drive the suction cup assembly 43 to rotate.
