Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0063] To better understand the embodiments of this application, the following is combined with... Figures 1 to 12 The embodiments of this application will be described in detail.

[0064] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this application provides a feeding device 1, which includes a holding component 11, a limiting member 12, a pressing member 13, a mounting member 14, and a first driving component 15. The limiting member 12 is disposed on one side of the holding component 11; the pressing member 13 is disposed on the side of the holding component 11 opposite to the limiting member 12; the holding component 11 and the pressing member 13 are movably disposed on the mounting member 14; and the first driving component 15 is used to drive the holding component 11 and the pressing member 13 to move closer to or away from the limiting member 12.

[0065] The feeding device 1 refers to a component that feeds materials onto a carrier such as a tray. For ease of description, the following description will take feeding the battery 2 onto the cup 3 as an example. However, it should be noted that the feeding device 1 of this application can also be used for feeding other materials.

[0066] Battery 2 can be a lithium-ion battery, lithium-sulfur battery, sodium-lithium-ion battery, sodium-ion battery, or magnesium-ion battery, etc., and this application embodiment does not limit this. The shape of battery 2 can be cylindrical, flat, cuboid, or other shapes, etc., and this application embodiment does not limit this either.

[0067] The cup 3 refers to the component used to support the battery 2. Specifically, one side of the cup 3 is provided with a battery receiving part for accommodating the battery 2, and one end of the battery 2 is inserted into the battery receiving part along the first direction X, thereby realizing the support of the battery 2 by the cup 3.

[0068] By inserting the battery 2 into the cup 3, on the one hand, the uniform specifications and shape of the cup 3 can be used to easily cooperate with various automated transportation devices (such as conveyor belts, robotic arms, etc.), thereby realizing the rapid and accurate transportation of the battery 2 between different workstations and improving production efficiency; on the other hand, the cup 3 can fix and constrain the battery 2, so that it maintains a relatively stable position and posture within the cup 3, which facilitates precise positioning and operation of the battery 2, thereby ensuring the quality and consistency of battery 2 production.

[0069] The holding component 11 refers to a component that holds materials such as the battery 2. In some embodiments, the holding component 11 can be a mechanical gripper, which opens and closes multiple movable claws to grasp and release the battery 2. In other embodiments, the holding component 11 can also be an adsorption component, which uses adsorption force to adsorb and fix the battery 2. It should be noted that in this case, the holding component 11 can be a negative pressure device, which uses negative pressure generated by drawing negative pressure on the holding component 11 to adsorb and fix the battery 2. When the casing of the battery 2 is made of a magnetic material such as iron, the holding component 11 can also be a magnetic device, which uses the magnetic force generated by an electromagnet or a permanent magnet to adsorb and fix the battery 2.

[0070] The limiting member 12 refers to a component used to limit the movement of the cup holder 3 and other carriers. The limiting member 12 restricts the movement of the cup holder 3, allowing the holding component 11 to insert the battery 2 held thereon into the cup holder 3 when it moves closer to the limiting member 13, thus loading the battery 2. Specifically, in some embodiments, the limiting member 12 can be a gripper, suction device, or other holding device to hold and fix the cup holder 3, thereby limiting its movement; in other embodiments, the limiting member 12 can also be a support platform, restricting the movement of the cup holder 3 away from the holding component 11 (in the first direction X) by placing the cup holder 3 on the support platform.

[0071] The pressing component 13 is located on the side of the holding component 11 away from the limiting component 12. By setting the pressing component 13, the battery 2 held by the holding component 11 can be pressed into the cup 3, providing a pushing force for the feeding of the battery 2 and ensuring that the battery 2 is fed into the cup 3 effectively and quickly.

[0072] The holding component 11 and the pressing component 13 are movably disposed on the mounting component 14. Specifically, the movability of the holding component 11 and the pressing component 13 can be achieved through a guide rail slider mechanism, a lead screw mechanism, or a gear and rack mechanism; this embodiment does not impose any limitations on this. By movably disposing of the holding component 11 and the pressing component 13 on the mounting component 14, the pressing component 13 and the holding component 11 can move synchronously to press the battery 2 into the cup 3. In this way, during the battery loading process, the relative movement between the battery and the holding component 11 can be avoided, which could scratch the surface of the battery 2 and thus affect the production quality of the battery 2.

[0073] The first driving component 15 can be a motor, or it can be a cylinder, electric cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, etc., and this application embodiment does not limit this. The output end of the first driving component 15 is connected to the holding component 11 and the pressing component 13, thereby driving the holding component 11 and the pressing component 13 to move. By setting the first driving component 15, during the battery 2 feeding process, the first driving component 15 can drive the pressing component 13 and the holding component 11 to gradually approach the limiting component 12, thereby pressing the battery held on the holding component 11 into the cup 3 on the limiting component 12, and feeding the battery 2 into the cup 3.

[0074] By movably mounting the holding component 11 and the pressing component 13 onto the mounting member 14, during the process of feeding the battery 2 into the cup 3, the first driving component 15 can drive the pressing component 13 and the holding component 11 to gradually approach the limiting member, inserting the battery 2 held on the holding component 11 into the cup 3 limited on the limiting member 12. Both the holding component 11 and the pressing component 13 can be moved relative to the mounting member 14, ensuring that the battery 2 and the holding component 11 remain relatively stationary during the feeding process. This prevents the battery 2 from moving relative to the holding component 11 and scratching its surface, thus improving the production quality of the battery 2.

[0075] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the first drive assembly 15 includes a first drive mounting member 151 and a connector 152. The first drive mounting member 151 is movably disposed on the mounting member 14; the connector 152 is disposed on the first drive mounting member 151, and the pressure member 13 is connected to the connector 152.

[0076] The first drive mounting component 151 is movably disposed on the mounting component 14. Specifically, the first drive mounting component 151 can be movably connected to the mounting component 14 through a guide rail slider mechanism or a lead screw mechanism. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0077] The pressure member 13 and the connector 152 can be connected by detachable connection methods such as bolt connection or snap-fit, or by non-detachable connection methods such as welding or bonding. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0078] By setting the first drive mounting member 151, when the first drive mounting member 151 moves relative to the mounting member 14, it can drive the pressing member 13 connected to the connecting member 152 to move in the direction (first direction X) close to the limiting member 12, thereby pressing the holding component 11 and the battery 2 clamped on the holding component 11 into the cup 3.

[0079] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the holding assembly 11 is connected to the connector 152 to drive the pressing member 13 and the holding assembly 11 to move synchronously.

[0080] Similarly, the holding component 11 and the connector 152 can be connected by detachable connection methods such as bolt connection or snap-fit, or by non-detachable connection methods such as welding or bonding. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0081] By connecting the holding component 11 to the connector 152, when the first drive mounting component 151 moves relative to the mounting component 14 in the direction close to the limiting component 12 (first direction X), the holding component 11 and the pressing component connected to the connector 152 can be driven to move synchronously closer to the limiting component 12 and the cup 3 on it. This allows the holding component 11 to gradually move closer to the limiting component 12 and press the battery 2 clamped on the holding component 11 into the cup 3, while avoiding the battery 2 from moving relative to the holding component 11 and scratching the surface of the battery 2.

[0082] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the first drive mounting member 151 is provided with a mounting hole 1511, and the connector 152 is movably sleeved in the mounting hole 1511. The first drive assembly 15 also includes a first elastic member 153 and / or a second elastic member 154. The first elastic member 153 is disposed between the first drive mounting member 151 and the pressing member 13, and the second elastic member 154 is disposed between the pressing member 13 and the holding assembly 11.

[0083] The mounting hole extends along the first direction X. By providing a mounting hole 1511 on the first drive mounting member 151 and fitting the connector 152 onto the mounting hole 1511, the connector 152 can move relative to the first drive mounting member 151 along the first direction.

[0084] In some embodiments, the first drive assembly 15 includes either a first elastic element 153 or a second elastic element 154; while in other embodiments, the first drive assembly 15 includes both a first elastic element 153 and a second elastic element 154. The first elastic element 153 and the second elastic element 154 may be springs or other components made of elastic materials such as rubber, and the embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0085] By setting a first elastic element 153 between the first drive mounting component 151 and the pressing component 13, the pressing component 13 can be set to float. When there is an offset between the battery 2 and the cup 3, causing the battery 2 to be unable to be smoothly inserted into the cup 3, the first elastic element 153 can be compressed to prevent the battery 2 from being forcibly pressed into the cup 3, which can effectively prevent the battery 2 and the cup 3 from being crushed.

[0086] Similarly, by setting a second elastic element 154 between the pressing component 13 and the holding component 11, the holding component 11 can be set to float. When there is an offset between the battery 2 and the cup 3, causing the battery 2 to be unable to be smoothly inserted into the cup 3, the second elastic element 154 can be compressed to prevent the battery 2 from being forcibly pressed into the cup 3, thereby effectively preventing the battery 2 and the cup 3 from being crushed.

[0087] like Figure 11 and 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the first drive assembly 15 further includes a detection element 155 disposed on the connector 152 away from the end of the holding assembly 11, and the feeding device 1 further includes a sensor 17 for detecting the position of the detection element 155.

[0088] Sensor 17 can be a proximity sensor or a laser sensor. By setting sensor 17, when the battery 2 and cup 3 are misaligned, making it impossible for the battery 2 to be inserted into the cup 3, the pressing component 13 can compress the first elastic component 153 and drive the connecting component 152 to move in the direction away from the limiting component 12, thereby driving the detection component 155 to also move in the direction away from the limiting component 13. When sensor 17 detects that the movement distance of the detection component 155 in the direction away from the limiting component 13 is greater than a preset value, it can issue an alarm to prevent the first driving component 15 from driving the first driving mounting component 151 to move further closer to the limiting component 12, further preventing the battery 2 and cup 3 from being crushed and improving the service life of the feeding device 1.

[0089] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting component 14 is provided with a first guide rail 141, and the holding component 11 is provided with a slider 111, which is movably disposed on the first guide rail 141.

[0090] By setting the first guide rail 141 and movably mounting the slider 111 on the first guide rail 141, the holding component 11 can move relative to the mounting member 14 and gradually approach the limiting member 12. Compared with other movable mechanisms, using the first guide rail 141 and the slider 111 to achieve the movable setting of the holding component 11 can ensure the smooth movement of the holding component 11 and ensure that the battery 2 can be accurately inserted into the cup holder 3.

[0091] like Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the holding component 11 includes a first holding member 112 and a second holding member 113 spaced apart, and the first holding member 112 and / or the second holding member 113 are movably disposed.

[0092] The first gripper 112 and / or the second gripper 113 are movably configured. Specifically, in some embodiments, either the first gripper 112 or the second gripper 113 is movably configured, and the gripping or releasing of the battery 2 is achieved by the movement of the first gripper 112 or the second gripper 113; in other embodiments, both the first gripper 112 and the second gripper 113 are movably configured, and the gripping and releasing of the battery 2 is achieved by the joint movement of both, thereby improving the speed of gripping and releasing the battery 2.

[0093] Compared with other holding mechanisms, by setting the first holding member 112 and the second holding member 113 to hold the battery 2, it can not only adapt to batteries 2 of different sizes, but also precisely control the clamping force by adjusting the moving distance of the first holding member 112 and the second holding member 113, so as to avoid damage to the battery 2.

[0094] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the holding assembly 11 further includes a body portion 114 and a magnetic element 115. The body portion 114 is disposed between the first holding member 112 and the second holding member 113; the magnetic element 115 is disposed on the body portion 113.

[0095] By setting the main body 113, the battery 2 can be pre-positioned to ensure the precise position of the battery 2 in the holding component 11, thereby ensuring the concentricity of the battery 2 and the cup 3 and ensuring that the battery 2 can be accurately inserted into the cup 3.

[0096] The magnetic component 115 can be an electromagnet or a permanent magnet, and this application embodiment does not limit this. By setting the electromagnet 115, the battery 2 can be further attracted and fixed, which can improve the holding stability of the battery 2; on the other hand, before the first holding component 112 and the second holding component 112 approach each other and clamp the battery 2, the electromagnet 115 can pre-fix the battery 2, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the battery 2 in the holding assembly 11.

[0097] like Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the first gripper 112 and the second gripper 113 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the body portion 114. The symmetrical arrangement of the first gripper 112 and the second gripper 113 can evenly distribute the clamping force, which can ensure that the battery 2 is accurately clamped in the gripping assembly 11 to ensure the concentricity between the battery 2 and the cup 3, and also ensure that the battery 2 remains stable during movement, reducing the risk of shaking or displacement.

[0098] like Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the holding assembly 11 further includes a holding mounting member 116 and a second guide rail 117. The second guide rail 117 is disposed on one side of the holding mounting member 116, and the first holding member 112 and / or the second holding member 113 are movably disposed on the second guide rail 117.

[0099] A second guide rail 117 is provided on one side of the holding and mounting component 116. By movably setting the first holding component 112 and / or the second holding component 113 on the second guide rail 117, the distance between the first holding component 112 and the second holding component 113 can be changed, thereby realizing the clamping and releasing of the battery 2.

[0100] The first gripper 112 and / or the second gripper 113 are movably disposed on the second guide rail 117. Specifically, in some embodiments, either the first gripper 112 or the second gripper 113 is movably disposed on the second guide rail 117, and the battery 2 is clamped or released by the movement of the first gripper 112 or the second gripper 113 on the guide rail 117. In other embodiments, both the first gripper 112 and the second gripper 113 are movably disposed on the second guide rail 117, and the battery 2 is clamped and released by the joint movement of the two, thereby improving the speed of holding and releasing the battery 2.

[0101] Compared with other movable methods, setting a second guide rail 117 to realize the movement of the first holding member 112 and / or the second holding member 113 can improve the smoothness of the movement of the first holding member 112 and / or the second holding member 113 and improve the clamping stability of the battery 2.

[0102] In some embodiments, a slider 111 is provided on one side of the holding and mounting member 116, and a slider 111 is provided on the other side. In this way, by setting the holding and mounting member 116, the first holding member 112 and the second holding member 113 can move along the first guide rail 141 to approach the limiting member 12 and insert the battery 2 into the cup 3, and the first holding member 112 and the second holding member 113 can move closer or further away from each other to clamp or release the battery 2, simplifying the structure of the feeding device 1.

[0103] like Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the feeding device 1 further includes a second driving assembly 16, which includes a second driving mounting member 161 and a driving member 162. The second driving mounting member 161 is movably disposed on the mounting member 14; one end of the driving member 162 is connected to the second driving mounting member 161, and the other end is provided with a wedge-shaped portion 1621. The two sides of the driving member 162 abut against the first holding member 112 and the second holding member 113, respectively.

[0104] One end of the driving component 162 is connected to the second driving mounting component 161. Specifically, the connection between the driving component 162 and the second driving mounting component 161 can be a detachable connection such as bolt connection or snap-fit, or a non-detachable connection such as welding or bonding. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0105] The second drive mounting component 161 is movably disposed on the mounting component 14. Specifically, the second drive mounting component 161 can be movably connected to the mounting component 14 through a guide rail slider mechanism or a lead screw mechanism. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0106] Specifically, the second drive mounting member 161 is movably disposed along the first direction, and the wedge-shaped portion 1621 is disposed at the end of the drive member 162 near the holding assembly 11 along the first direction. The first holding member 112 and the second holding member 113 of the holding assembly 11 are spaced apart along the second direction, and the width of the wedge-shaped portion 1621 gradually decreases along the first direction X in the second direction Y. By disposing the wedge-shaped portion 1621 at the other end of the drive member 162, when the drive member 162 moves along the first direction X and approaches the holding assembly 11, the tip of the wedge-shaped portion 1621 can be inserted between the first holding member 112 and the second holding member 113, and the first holding member 112 and the second holding member 113 abut against the two sides of the wedge-shaped portion 1621 of the drive member 162 along the second direction Y. Subsequently, as the drive member 162 continues to move along the first direction X, the width of the wedge-shaped portion 1621 gradually increases in the second direction Y, thereby pushing the first gripper 112 and the second gripper 113 away from each other along the second direction Y, thus realizing the opening function of the gripping assembly 11. Similarly, when the drive member 162 moves away from the gripping assembly 11 in a direction opposite to the first direction X, the wedge-shaped portion 1621 gradually pushes out from between the first gripper 112 and the second gripper 113, causing the first gripper 112 and the second gripper 113 to move closer to each other, thus realizing the clamping function of the gripping assembly 11.

[0107] By setting the second drive component 16, the opening and closing functions of the holding component 11 can be realized, thereby realizing the clamping and releasing of the battery 2.

[0108] like Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, a roller 118 is provided on the side of the first holding member 111 and / or the second holding member 112 near the driving member 162, and the roller 118 is disposed in contact with the side of the driving member 162.

[0109] The first gripper 111 and / or the second gripper 112 are provided with rollers 118 on the side near the drive member 162. Specifically, in some embodiments, one of the first gripper 111 and the second gripper 112 is provided with rollers 118 on the side near the drive member 162; while in other embodiments, both the first gripper 111 and the second gripper 112 are provided with rollers 118 on the side near the drive member 162.

[0110] Roller 118 refers to a wheel that can rotate along its own axis. By providing roller 118 on the side of the first holding member 111 and / or the second holding member 112 near the driving member 162, when the driving member 162 moves along the first direction X to drive the first holding member 112 and / or the second holding member 113 to move along the second direction Y, the sliding friction between the first holding member 112 and / or the second holding member 113 and the two sides of the driving member 162 along the second direction Y can be converted into rolling friction between roller 118 and the two sides of the driving member 162. This can effectively reduce friction while reducing wear between the driving member 162 and the holding assembly 11, and improve the service life of the feeding device 1.

[0111] like Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the holding component 11 further includes a third elastic member 119, with one end of the third elastic member 119 connected to the first holding member 112 and the other end connected to the second holding member 113.

[0112] The third elastic element 119 can be a spring or other components made of elastic materials such as rubber.

[0113] By providing the third elastic element 119, on the one hand, when the driving member 162 disengages from between the first holding member 112 and the second holding member 113, the elastic force provided by the third elastic element 119 can be used to drive the first holding member 112 and / or the second holding member 113 to move, that is, the first holding member 112 and the second holding member 113 can move closer to each other without additional driving force; on the other hand, the elastic force of the third elastic element 119 can also provide clamping force for the holding assembly 11, so that the battery 2 is stably clamped between the first holding member 112 and the second holding member 113.

[0114] like Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, in some embodiments, the first drive assembly 15 includes a first drive mount 151 movably disposed on the mount 14 and a first cam 156 disposed on the first drive mount 151, and the second drive assembly 16 further includes a second cam 163 disposed on the second drive mount 161. The feeding device 1 also includes a guide assembly 18, which is used to drive the first cam 156 and the second cam 163 to move.

[0115] The guide component 18 guides the movement of the second cam 163 and the first cam 156. The movement of the second cam 163 drives the opening and closing of the holding component 11, while the movement of the first cam 156 drives the pressing component 13 and the holding component 11 to gradually approach the limiting component 12, pressing the battery 2 into the cup 3. In other words, the guide component 18 enables precise driving of the driving component 11 and the pressing component 13, and allows the holding component 11 to open and close at predetermined times.

[0116] like Figure 1 , 2 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the guide assembly 18 includes a guide member 181, and the feeding device 1 further includes a fourth elastic member 19. One end of the fourth elastic member 19 is connected to the first drive mounting member 151, and the other end is connected to the second drive mounting member 161, so that the first cam 156 and the second cam 163 respectively abut against the two sides of the guide member 181.

[0117] Similarly, the fourth elastic element 19 can be a spring or other components made of elastic materials such as rubber.

[0118] By providing the fourth elastic element 19, the first cam 156 and the second cam 163 can respectively abut against the two sides of the guide member 181 along the first direction X. By setting the height of the guide member 181 along the first direction X, the relative position of the first cam 156 and the second cam 163 along the first direction X can be adjusted; at the same time, by setting the extension direction and bending degree of the two sides of the guide member 181 along the first direction X, the first cam 156 and the second cam 163 can be driven. This simplifies the structure of the guide assembly 18 and facilitates the cooperation of the first cam 156 and the second cam 163, thereby achieving joint control of the opening and closing timing of the holding assembly 11 and the pressing timing of the battery 2.

[0119] like Figures 9 to 12 In another aspect, this application provides a battery production apparatus, including a turntable 4 and at least one feeding device 1. The turntable 4 is rotatably disposed along its axial direction; the feeding device 1 is disposed on the outer periphery of the turntable 4.

[0120] By setting at least one feeding device 1 on the outer periphery of the turntable 4, the feeding device 1 on the turntable 4 can be driven to rotate when the turntable 4 rotates, thereby causing the first cam 156 and the second cam 163 to move on the guide 181, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the holding component 11 and the feeding of the battery 2.

[0121] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 12 As shown, during feeding, the cup 3 is fed into the limiting member 12; at the same time, the guide member 181 guides the second cam 163 to gradually approach the holding assembly 11 along the first direction X (at this time, the upper surface of the guide member 181 is horizontal, that is, the position of the first cam 156 in the first direction X remains unchanged), so that the wedge-shaped part 1621 at the end of the drive member 162 is inserted between the first holding member 112 and the second holding member 113. As the second cam 163 continues to move along the first direction X, the first holding member 112 and the second holding member 113 move away from each other under the drive of the drive member 162, so that the battery 2 can be fed onto the holding assembly 11 and pre-fixed in the holding assembly 11 under the adsorption of the magnetic member 115.

[0122] Subsequently, the lower surface of the guide 181 is recessed upward, thereby guiding the second cam 163 to gradually move away from the holding assembly 11 along the first direction X (at this time, the upper surface of the guide 181 is still horizontal, that is, the position of the first cam 156 in the first direction X remains unchanged), so that the drive member 162 is pulled out from between the first holding member 112 and the second holding member 113, and the first holding member 112 and the second holding member 113 move closer to each other under the drive of the third elastic member 119 to clamp the battery 2 in the holding assembly 11.

[0123] Then, the upper and lower surfaces of the guide 181 bend downwards synchronously, thereby driving the connector 152 to gradually approach the holding assembly 11 along the first direction X, so that the pressing member 13 and the holding assembly 11 move synchronously along the first direction X to insert the battery 2 into the cup 3 (in this process, since the upper and lower surfaces of the guide 181 bend downwards synchronously, the driving member 162 and the holding assembly 11 move synchronously along the first direction X, that is, the relative position between the two remains unchanged, and the driving member 162 will not drive the holding assembly 11 to open, so the holding assembly 11 is always in a clamping state).

[0124] Then, the upper surface of the guide 181 is in a horizontal state while the lower surface continues to bend downwards, so that the drive 162 moves in the first direction X and drives the first holding member 112 and the second holding member 113 to move away from each other and release the battery 2.

[0125] Finally, the upper and lower surfaces of the guide 181 bend upward, causing the drive 162 and the connector 152 to move in a direction away from the first direction X, so that the first drive assembly 15 and the second drive assembly 16 return to their starting positions, ready for the next battery loading.

[0126] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
