[0028] Please see the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a cylindrical battery cell barcode reading mechanism, comprising a support frame 1, with baffles 2 fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 1, servo motors 16 fixedly connected to the left ends of the front and rear sides of the baffles 2, pulleys 15 fixedly connected to the output ends of the servo motors 16, rotating shafts 13 rotatably connected to the top of the front and rear sides of the baffles 2, the outer walls of the rotating shafts 13 and the pulleys 15 being connected by a transmission belt 14, and brackets 5 fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the rear side of the support frame 1. A rear plate 8 is fixedly connected to the top front side of the frame 5. L-shaped plates 11 are fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the middle front side of the rear plate 8. Slider 9 is fixedly connected between the two adjacent L-shaped plates 11. A cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to the middle right side of the right L-shaped plate 11. An L-shaped slide plate 10 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 12. The bottom rear side of the L-shaped slide plate 10 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slider 9. A barcode reading device 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the L-shaped slide plate 10. A columnar battery cell 3 is attached to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 13.

[0029] Specifically, the baffle 2 serves as the basic support for the device, with servo motors 16 fixedly connected to its front and rear left ends. When the servo motors 16 operate, they drive the pulleys 15 to rotate. The pulleys 15 drive the transmission belt 14 to move through friction. The transmission belt 14 then drives the rotating shaft 13 to rotate. By controlling the speed and direction of the servo motors 16, the speed and direction of the transmission belt 14 can be precisely adjusted to meet the needs of different production stages. An L-shaped slide plate 10 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 12. The rear bottom of the L-shaped slide plate 10 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slider 9, allowing the L-shaped slide plate 10 to make precise linear movements under the guidance of the slider 9.

[0030] Please see the appendix Figure 3 - Appendix Figure 5 L-shaped plates 19 are fixedly connected to the upper front side of the bracket 5. A long frame 4 is fixedly connected between adjacent L-shaped plates 19. L-shaped plates 6 are fixedly connected to the top left and right sides of the front side of the rear plate 8. A sliding rod 7 is fixedly connected between adjacent L-shaped plates 6. The outer wall of the sliding rod 7 is slidably connected to the top rear side of the L-shaped slide plate 10. Multiple base plates 18 are fixedly connected at the same horizontal height. The bottom of the bracket 5 is fixedly connected to the base plate 18.

[0031] Specifically, the bracket 5 serves as the basic support structure for the entire device, stabilizing it. A long frame 4 is fixedly connected between the two adjacent L-shaped plates 19, further enhancing the structural strength and overall stability of the device. A base plate 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bracket 5, and multiple base plates 18 are fixedly connected at the same horizontal height, ensuring the stability and levelness of the entire device installation.

[0032] Working principle: When it is necessary to read the barcode on the surface of the cylindrical battery cell, the cylindrical battery cell 3 is first placed on the surface of the rotating shaft 13 connected to the baffle 2. Then, the servo motor 16 is started, which drives the pulley 15 to drive multiple rotating shafts 13 through the rotating shaft 13. As the rotating shaft 13 rotates, it cooperates with the cylindrical battery cell 3 to rotate slowly and regularly. At this time, the L-shaped plate 6 connected to the back plate 8 supports the slide rod 7. At the same time, the cylinder 12 connected to the L-shaped plate 11 is activated, pushing the L-shaped slide plate 10 to slide along the slider 9 and the outer wall of the back plate 8, thereby adjusting to the appropriate barcode reading position. Finally, the barcode reading device 17 illuminates the surface of the cylindrical battery cell 3, thereby reading and transmitting the information on the cylindrical battery cell 3. Therefore, it can effectively read the information on the surface of the cylindrical battery cell 3, avoid the need for manual operation by the operator, improve the barcode reading efficiency of the cylindrical battery cell, and meet the daily use needs of the operator.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
