Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of battery processing technology. ， In particular, it relates to an automatic tracking device for battery scanning, peeling, wrapping, and inkjet printing. Background Technology

[0002] A battery is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. It contains an electrolyte solution and metal electrodes, and is housed in a cup, tank, or other container or composite container that generates an electric current. It has a positive and a negative electrode. With technological advancements, the term "battery" now generally refers to any small device capable of generating electrical energy.

[0003] After the battery is processed, a thin film needs to be applied to the surface of the finished product. Applying the film can make the battery look more beautiful, prevent short circuits between the positive and negative terminals, meet the different customers' requirements for battery appearance, identify different manufacturers, and print a QR code on the film to verify authenticity.

[0004] However, during the implementation of the relevant technical solutions, at least the following technical problems were found: In the actual production of batteries, if the color of the processed batteries (with a thin film already attached to the surface) does not meet the customer's requirements or the batch of batteries needs to be changed, the processed batteries need to be reworked. However, the existing devices cannot scan and input the original information of the batteries. During the rework process, not only is it necessary to peel off the film and reapply the film, but it is also necessary to read and input the original information of the batteries in this process. This can better restore the information of the batteries and facilitate the tracking of battery information. Therefore, we propose an automatic tracking device for battery scanning, peeling, reapplying, and inkjet coding. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides an automatic tracking device for scanning, peeling, recoating, and coding batteries, which solves the problem in the prior art where the original code is lost due to the need to recoat and scan the battery. It enables the restoration of the original code by scanning, peeling, recoating, and coding without stopping the machine.

[0006] This application provides an automatic tracking device for battery scanning, peeling, coating, and inkjet printing, including a worktable and a peeling mechanism, a first inkjet printing mechanism, a coating mechanism, and a second inkjet printing mechanism arranged sequentially from left to right on the worktable.

[0007] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism includes: a feeding platform, located on one side of the workbench, for feeding batteries; a mounting plate, symmetrically mounted on the workbench, and a power unit mounted on the mounting plate; a conveyor belt, connected to the power unit, and the power unit is used to drive the conveyor belt to move in a cycle, and the conveyor belt has multiple sets of limiting grooves equidistantly provided to receive batteries.

[0008] Furthermore, the rolling clamping assembly includes: a fixed frame, disposed on both sides of the conveyor belt in the width direction, and clamping members are provided on both sides of the fixed frame for clamping the battery; a fixing plate is provided on both sides of the fixed frame; an abutment block is disposed on any set of fixing plates, and the end of the abutment block away from the clamping members is driven by a second power device; and a transmission block is disposed on the fixing plate on the side opposite to the abutment block, and the transmission block is movably connected by a bearing.

[0010] Furthermore, the clamping element is a roller, and the diameter of the roller is larger than the diameter of the battery.

[0012] The technical solution provided in this application has at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0013] This application employs a lifting scanning unit, where batteries sequentially fed to the barcode scanner are first clamped by rollers and then rotated under the drive of a second power device. The rollers also rotate relative to the batteries, reducing friction during rotation and allowing the batteries to roll in conjunction with the scanning process. After scanning, the next step, peeling, can begin. Peeling and scanning are performed simultaneously, eliminating the need for machine downtime.

Therefore, this effectively solves the problem in existing technologies where re-applying the film and scanning the battery causes machine downtime and reduces efficiency. It achieves scanning and peeling without stopping the machine, thus improving production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0023] This application discloses an automatic tracking device for battery barcode scanning, peeling, wrapping, and inkjet printing. The technical solutions of the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0024] To better understand the above technical solution, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the above technical solution in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-8The system includes a workbench 100 and, from left to right, a peeling mechanism 30, a first coding mechanism 40, a coating mechanism 50, and a second coding mechanism 60. A support platform is provided at the bottom of the workbench 100, which is simply referred to as the workbench 100. The system also includes a conveying mechanism 10 for sequentially conveying batteries. The conveying mechanism 10 is equipped with a lifting and scanning unit 20 for lifting batteries for scanning. The lifting and scanning unit 20 includes a barcode scanner 21 located on the workbench 100 near the conveying mechanism 10 for scanning and tracking batteries. A rolling clamping assembly 22 is located on the workbench 100 near the barcode scanner 21 for rolling and clamping batteries. A lifting assembly 23 is located on the workbench 100 and connected to the rolling clamping assembly 22 for cooperating with the barcode scanner 21 to scan batteries.

[0026] It should be noted that the mechanism set on the workbench 100 is a complete production line. When reworking battery information, the batteries are first fed and conveyed. After conveying, the rolling clamping component 22 clamps and fixes the conveyed batteries in place. Then, the lifting component 23 lifts the batteries so that they can rotate, allowing the barcode scanner 21 to accurately scan and collect the original information of the batteries. This original information of the batteries is recorded one by one. Subsequently, the batteries undergo a peeling process to peel off the thin film containing battery information on their surface. The peeled batteries then continue to be conveyed on the workbench 100. The battery is conveyed until it reaches the position of the first inkjet printing mechanism 40. The first inkjet printing mechanism 40 restores part of the information obtained from the inkjet printer 21 onto the surface of the battery product. The restored battery then undergoes surface coating treatment again through the coating mechanism 50. After coating, it is conveyed and moved to the position of the second inkjet printing mechanism 60. The second inkjet printing mechanism 60 can also obtain the original information of the battery from the inkjet printer 21, so that the complete original information of the battery can be restored onto the battery. The batteries are conveyed in sequence, and a one-to-one correspondence can be formed with the information of the battery, so that the battery conveying position can be tracked.

[0027] Furthermore, the information scanned by the barcode scanner 21 can be recorded, stored, and transmitted to the first coding mechanism 40 and the second coding mechanism 60. This is achieved through computer programming. The peeling mechanism 30 and the coating mechanism 50 are existing technologies and will not be elaborated on here.

[0028] Reference Figures 4-5The conveying mechanism 10 includes a feeding platform 101 located on one side of the workbench 100 for dropping batteries. The feeding platform 101 is used to stack batteries and allows them to fall in sequence. Two sets of mounting plates 102 are symmetrically installed on the workbench 100, and a power device is installed on the mounting plate 102. The power device includes a motor, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to a drive gear, which is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 102. A driven gear is rotatably connected to one end relative to the drive gear. A conveyor belt 103 is connected to the outer wall of the drive gear and the driven gear. The conveyor belt 103 achieves cyclic movement by driving the drive gear and the driven gear to rotate through the motor. Multiple sets of limiting grooves 104 are equidistantly provided on the conveyor belt 103 to receive batteries. The limiting grooves 104 are used to receive batteries and can stably place the batteries, thereby ensuring stable movement without displacement during the conveying process.

[0029] The rolling clamping assembly 22 includes a fixed frame 221 on both sides of the conveyor belt 103 in the width direction, and clamping members 222 are provided on both sides of the fixed frame 221. The clamping members 222 are used to clamp the battery. Fixed plates 223 are provided on both sides of the fixed frame 221. The clamping members 222 are two sets of rollers, and the diameter of the rollers is larger than the diameter of the battery. An abutment block 224 is provided on any set of fixed plates 223, and a groove is provided on the fixed plate 223 to avoid the abutment block 224. The end of the abutment block 224 away from the clamping member 222 is driven by a second power device, preferably a motor. The motor drives the abutment block 224 to rotate. A transmission block 225 is connected to the fixed plate 223 on the side opposite to the abutment block 224 through a bearing.

[0030] The rolling clamping assembly 22 is provided in two sets, and the peeling mechanism 30 is located on the side near the barcode scanner 21 and is provided with a laser cutting part for cutting the battery. After scanning, the battery can be peeled off. The two operations are performed simultaneously, which can improve the efficiency of battery operation.

[0031] The lifting assembly 23 includes a lifting plate 231, which is driven to rise and fall by a third power device. The third power device is mounted on the workbench 100 and is preferably a cylinder. An obstacle groove 232 is provided on the mounting plate 102, and the lifting plate 231 is located in the obstacle groove 232 to avoid the lifting plate 231 from rising. The highest position of the lifting plate 231 is located at the top of the obstacle groove 232.

[0032] The working principle of this application is as follows: During use, the batteries are neatly placed on the unloading platform 101. The unloading platform 101 sequentially feeds the batteries into the limiting groove 104 of the conveyor belt 103. The limiting groove 104 continues to feed the batteries along the working direction of the worktable 100 until they reach the position of the fixed frame 221. At this point, the battery feeding stops, and the battery is positioned between two sets of rollers. A distance sensor is installed between the two sets of rollers. When the battery is positioned between the two sets of rollers, this electrical signal is transmitted to the controller. The controller then controls the power unit of the conveyor belt 103 to stop feeding and controls the third power unit to start, driving the lifting plate 23. 1. The rollers lift the battery to a certain height, which shortens the scanning distance between the barcode scanner 21 and the battery, making scanning easier and allowing the battery's original information to be recorded. Since the battery may not be exposed during transport, the second power device needs to be activated to rotate the abutment block 224. When the battery is positioned between the two sets of rollers, both ends of the battery's cross-section are positioned between the abutment block 224 and the transmission block 225. The abutment block 224 is driven by the second power device, causing the battery to rotate between the rollers and the transmission block 225, thus facilitating the barcode scanner 21 to scan the QR code on the battery.

[0033] After scanning is completed, the battery will fall between the next set of rollers. The next set of rollers can then be used to peel off the coating on the surface. The next set of scanning and the next set of peeling are carried out simultaneously, which can reduce the operation time and complete the scanning and peeling of the battery at the same time as the transport is completed.

[0034] It should be noted that after the battery is scanned and recorded, the next step on the workbench after scanning is the film removal mechanism to remove the thin film from the battery surface. After being processed by the film removal mechanism 30, the information on the battery surface is partially restored by the first inkjet printing mechanism 40. After the restored battery is processed by the film covering mechanism 50, the information is restored again by the second inkjet printing mechanism 60. Here, the inkjet printing is restored from the information scanned by the scanner 21. This is the complete process of scanning, peeling, first inkjet printing to restore information, film covering, and second inkjet printing to restore information when the battery is reworked. In addition, the batteries are transported sequentially and individually, so the original information of the battery can be matched one-to-one with the transported battery, and the battery can be tracked.

[0035] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this invention without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this invention and their equivalents, this invention also intends to include these modifications and variations.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present application, but the scope of protection of the present application is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present application, based on the technical solution and concept of the present application, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present application.
