Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrode feeding technology, and in particular to an electrode tray anti-mistake device. Background Technology

[0002] After the terminals are produced, they need to be placed in a blister pack in the same direction according to customer requirements so that customers can directly perform automated battery assembly upon receiving the products. A feeding device is required to feed the terminals during tray loading. Existing technologies, such as the terminal feeding and assembly device for a battery assembly machine (publication number CN215546437U), which includes a feeding mechanism for orderly arranging several terminals, have advantages such as replacing manual labor, reducing labor costs, automating production feeding, and completing the assembly of terminals and battery casings. However, the feeding device in this device, consisting of a vibratory feeder and a first feeding channel, cannot detect terminals with incorrect orientation or eccentricity to prevent mistaken insertion during tray loading and subsequent terminal installation. For terminals with inconsistent lengths and widths, incorrect orientation can easily prevent them from being placed into the material holes on the feeding tray that match the terminal, and it is also inconvenient to directly pick up and weld the terminals. Furthermore, the inability to detect eccentric terminals affects the pass rate of the welded batteries. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the inability to detect incorrect orientation and eccentricity of the poles, thus failing to prevent mistaken installation of the poles during tray assembly and subsequent installation. Therefore, this invention proposes a pole assembly mistaken-proof device.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] Design a pole loading tray error prevention device, including a worktable, a vibrating feeding tray, and a discharge track. The top of the worktable is provided with a guide rail, and the pole is slidably installed inside the guide rail. The left end of the guide rail is connected to the discharge track.

[0006] The discharge track is equipped with a directional screening component, which is used to remove poles with incorrect orientation. The guide rail is equipped with an eccentric screening component, which is used to remove eccentric poles.

[0007] A baffle is provided at the right end of the guide rail.

[0008] Furthermore, the directional screening component includes a notch formed on the bottom plate of the discharge track and a mounting base fixedly installed on the outer wall of the discharge track. A slot plate is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting base, and the left end of the slot plate is located at the middle-right position of the notch.

[0009] Furthermore, the eccentric screening component includes a push structure fixedly installed on the guide rail and a pair of limiting blocks. The inner walls of the front and rear sides of the guide rail are respectively provided with corresponding installation grooves and discharge grooves, and the installation grooves and discharge grooves are both located below the left end of the limiting blocks. The installation grooves and discharge grooves are respectively slidably provided with iron push plates and sealing structures inside. The rear end face of the guide rail is fixedly installed with a cylinder, and the front end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the iron push plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the pushing structure includes a metal jet pipe fixedly installed on the guide rail, with the right end of the metal jet pipe tilted downwards and pointing towards the pole inside the guide rail, and the lower end of the metal jet pipe connected to the air pump.

[0011] Furthermore, a triangular push block is integrally formed on the right side of the front end of the iron push plate. The right end of the triangular push block is located to the right of the limiting block, and the distance between the triangular push block and the right end of the limiting block is equal to the diameter of the metal column of the pole post.

[0012] Furthermore, the sealing structure includes a magnet block slidably installed in the discharge groove, and a mounting plate is fixedly provided at the front end of the magnet block. A pair of insertion holes are opened on the front end face of the guide rail, and a telescopic tube is inserted into the insertion holes. A telescopic rod is inserted into the inside of the telescopic tube, and the front end of the telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the mounting plate. Two limiting grooves are opened on the outer wall of the telescopic tube, and a slider is slidably provided in the limiting groove. The two sliders are respectively fixedly connected to the guide rail and the telescopic rod.

[0013] Furthermore, a recycling box is fixedly installed on the top of the workbench, and the recycling box is located below the front end of the discharge slot.

[0014] The present invention proposes a terminal post tray-mounting error-proof device, which has the following advantages: by setting an eccentric screening component, a pair of limiting blocks block the eccentric terminal post, and a cylinder drives a pusher to remove it, which can effectively prevent eccentric terminal posts from being mixed into the tray and prevent errors in the tray-mounting and subsequent terminal post installation. At the same time, before eccentricity detection, the orientation screening component can screen the eccentrically misaligned terminal posts, blocking them with the slot plate and providing a gap for them to fall back to the vibrating feeding tray, effectively preventing non-eccentrically misaligned terminal posts from being unable to enter the guide rail and causing blockage, thus ensuring normal detection.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0021] Reference Figure 1-4 As an embodiment of this utility model, it discloses a pole post loading anti-foolproof device, including a workbench 1, a vibrating feeding plate 2, and a discharge track 3. The top of the workbench 1 is provided with a guide rail 10, and the pole post 4 is slidably arranged inside the guide rail 10. The left end of the guide rail 10 is connected to the discharge track 3.

[0022] The vibrating feed plate 2 discharges the poles 4 inside it sequentially through the discharge track 3 and slides onto the guide rail 10. The half of the discharge track 3 that is close to the guide rail 10 and separates from the vibrating feed plate 2 is provided with a baffle to prevent the poles 4 from falling off.

[0023] The discharge track 3 is provided with a directional screening component 5, which is used to remove pole posts 4 with incorrect orientation. The guide rail 10 is provided with an eccentric screening component 6, which is used to remove eccentric pole posts 4.

[0024] The directional screening component 5 pushes the incorrectly oriented pole 4 down the discharge track 3 and back into the vibrating feeding plate 2, waiting to readjust its orientation before entering the discharge track 3 for screening. Meanwhile, the correctly oriented pole 4 enters the guide rail 10 through the discharge track 3. The eccentric screening component 6 detects the correctly oriented pole 4 on the guide rail 10, blocking and discharging the eccentric pole 4.

[0025] The guide rail 10 is provided with a baffle 7 at the right end. The qualified poles 4 move to the right and are blocked by the baffle 7, and gradually arrange themselves closely on the left side of the baffle 7. The qualified poles 4 are then removed in rows by the robotic arm and loaded onto a tray.

[0026] In this embodiment, the directional screening component 5 includes a notch 51 formed on the bottom plate of the discharge track 3 and a mounting base 52 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the discharge track 3. A slot plate 53 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting base 52, and the left end of the slot plate 53 is located at the middle right position of the notch 51.

[0027] When the pole post 4 moves to the gap 51 and the outside is suspended, when the pole post 4 is in the wrong direction, the distance between the metal column of the pole post 4 and the side of the pole post 4 near the vibrating feeding plate 2 is greater than that of the adjacent side, so that the metal column is blocked by the slot plate 53 and falls from the gap 51 under the push of the next pole post 4, unable to maintain balance.

[0028] When the pole post 4 is in the correct direction, the distance between the metal column of the pole post 4 and the side of the pole post 4 closest to the vibrating feeding plate 2 is smaller than that of the adjacent side. The metal column on the pole post 4 enters the slot formed between the slot plate 53 and the vibrating feeding plate 2. After the metal column is restricted, the pole post 4 will not flip and fall from the notch 51, and will smoothly move to the guide rail 10 through the discharge track 3.

[0029] Specifically, the eccentric screening component 6 includes a pushing structure 61 fixedly installed on the guide rail 10 and a pair of limiting blocks 62. The inner walls of the front and rear sides of the guide rail 10 are respectively provided with corresponding mounting grooves 63 and discharge grooves 64, and the mounting grooves 63 and discharge grooves 64 are both located below the left end of the limiting blocks 62. The interior of the mounting grooves 63 and the discharge grooves 64 are respectively slidably provided with iron push plates 65 and sealing structures 66. The rear end face of the guide rail 10 is fixedly installed with a cylinder 67, and the front end of the cylinder 67 is fixedly connected to the iron push plate 65.

[0030] The pole post 4 moves to the right under the push of the push structure 61. The metal column of the non-eccentric pole post 4 can enter the space between the two limit blocks 62 and pass through the screening smoothly. The metal column of the eccentric pole post 4 will be blocked by the limit block 62. When the pole post 4 is detected to be blocked, the cylinder 67 is activated to drive the iron push plate 65 to move forward and push the metal column of the pole post 4, so that it moves forward into the discharge groove 64 and is separated from the guide rail 10 and discharged. Whether it is blocked can be manually observed and the cylinder 67 can be manually activated. Alternatively, the dwell time of the pole post 4 can be detected by a CCD camera to identify whether it is blocked and activate the cylinder 67.

[0031] Furthermore, the pushing structure 61 includes a metal jet pipe 611 fixedly installed on the guide rail 10, and the right end of the metal jet pipe 611 is inclined downwards and points towards the pole post 4 inside the guide rail 10. The lower end of the metal jet pipe 611 is connected to an air pump, and gas is injected into the metal jet pipe 611 through the air pump, so that the airflow is ejected at high speed and blows the pole post 4 to the right, which minimizes the damage to the pole post 4.

[0032] Preferably, a triangular push block 8 is integrally formed on the right side of the front end of the iron push plate 65. The right end of the triangular push block 8 is located on the right side of the limiting block 62 and the distance between the triangular push block 8 and the right end of the limiting block 62 is equal to the diameter of the metal column of the pole post 4.

[0033] When the metal column portion of the eccentric pole post 4 enters between the two limiting blocks 62, the forward-moving iron push plate 65 drives the triangular push block 8 to move forward and causes the inclined surface of the triangular push block 8 to abut against the metal column of the pole post 4, pushing the metal column of the pole post 4 to the left to disengage it from between the two limiting blocks 62, preventing the metal column of the pole post 4 from being blocked by the limiting blocks 62.

[0034] Furthermore, the sealing structure 66 includes a magnet block 661 slidably mounted on the discharge groove 64, and a mounting plate 662 is fixedly provided at the front end of the magnet block 661. A pair of insertion holes are provided on the front end face of the guide rail 10, and a telescopic tube 663 is inserted into the insertion holes. A telescopic rod 664 is inserted into the inside of the telescopic tube 663, and the front end of the telescopic rod 664 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 662. Two limiting grooves are provided on the outer wall of the telescopic tube 663, and a slider 665 is slidably provided in the limiting groove. The two sliders 665 are respectively fixedly connected to the guide rail 10 and the telescopic rod 664.

[0035] The magnetic block 661 is not easily detached by the adsorption guide rail 10, and the discharge groove 64 is blocked to prevent the pole post 4 from entering the discharge groove 64 or being stuck in the discharge groove 64. When discharged, the magnetic block 661 is squeezed out by the pole post 4 and drives the telescopic tube 663 and telescopic rod 664 to move forward. Thus, the discharge groove 64 and the magnetic block 661 are kept aligned by the telescopic tube 663 and telescopic rod 664. When the pole post 4 falls into the recycling box 9, the cylinder 67 drives the iron push plate 65 to continue to move forward and contact the magnetic block 661, thus magnetically adsorbing the magnetic block 661 and bringing it back to the discharge groove 64.

[0036] Preferably, a recycling box 9 is fixedly installed on the top of the workbench 1, and the recycling box 9 is located below the front end of the discharge groove 64. The recycling box 9 facilitates the collection of the eccentric pole 4.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
