[0027] Example 1:
[0028] As per the instruction manual Figure 1-4 As shown, a battery plate slitting and stacking machine comprises a frame 1, a feeding mechanism, a slitting mechanism and a stacking mechanism. The slitting mechanism is connected to one side of the feeding mechanism, and the other side of the slitting mechanism is connected to the stacking mechanism. A feeding mechanism 2 is provided between the slitting mechanism and the stacking mechanism.
[0029] In this utility model, the feeding mechanism is either a feeding conveyor belt or a feeding roller, and the upper end face of the feeding mechanism 2 is flush with the upper end face of the cutting table 3, which facilitates the feeding of the battery plates onto the cutting table 3.
[0030] In this utility model, the slitting mechanism includes a bottom cutting table 3 and an upper cutting blade 4. The cutting table 3 is provided with a U-shaped limiting groove 5 with its opening facing the feeding mechanism, which is used to limit one end of the battery plate. The middle of the cutting table 3 is provided with a feeding port 6 that runs through the top and bottom of the cutting table 3, which facilitates the movement of the feeding mechanism 2. The upper part of the cutting blade 4 is connected by a cutting cylinder 14, which is used to drive the cutting blade 4 to perform lifting and cutting. The cutting cylinder 14 is fixed on an adjusting plate 15. The adjusting plate 15 can be adjusted in position above the cutting table 3 along the direction of the feeding mechanism. During the adjustment process, a motor and a screw can be used for adjustment, or the adjustment can be performed by the cooperation of a nut and a screw (i.e., electric and manual).
[0031] In this utility model, the feeding mechanism 2 includes a material support plate 7, a feeding guide rail 8 with its bottom parallel to the direction of the material support plate 7, and a lifting cylinder 9. The material support plate 7 is located in the middle and below the cutting table 3, and the material support plate 7 can be moved to the stacking mechanism on one side through the feeding guide rail 8. A feeding cylinder 16 is provided at one end of the feeding guide rail 8. A rubber anti-slip pad 17 is provided on the top of the material support plate 7, and the surface of the anti-slip pad 17 is provided with anti-slip texture 18 to prevent the battery plates from shifting during the feeding process.
[0032] In this utility model, the stacking mechanism consists of a conveyor 10, a material distribution guide rail 11, and a material distribution gripper 12 slidably connected to the material distribution guide rail 11. The conveyor 10 is a double-row belt conveyor with a gap in the middle, and the material support plate 7 is located at the gap in the middle of the conveyor 10. A CCD camera 19 is set at the middle of the upper part of the conveyor 10 to determine the position of the battery plates. The stacking mechanism is located at the end of the conveyor 10, and a receiving box can be set at the end of the conveyor to receive the battery plates that the material distribution gripper 12 has not grasped. The material distribution guide rail 11 is threadedly connected to the material distribution gripper 12 through a screw, and one end of the screw is connected to a motor for driving. A telescopic cylinder is also set above the material distribution gripper 12 to drive the material distribution gripper 12 to move up and down, and to remove the battery plates from the conveyor 10 and put them into the stacking slot 13.
[0033] In this utility model, stacking slots 13 are provided on both sides of the conveyor 10. The stacking slots 13 are L-shaped placement slots and are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the feeding mechanism 2 and located at both ends of the distribution guide rail 11. The L-shaped bend of the stacking slot 13 can be inclined as the bottom, so that the placed battery plates can automatically gather at the L-shaped bend, making the stacking more neat. In addition, the stacking slots 13 on both sides can be used to collect the plates when one side is full, or to classify and place battery plates of different qualities that have been inspected by the CCD camera 19.
[0034] In a specific implementation of this utility model, the feeding mechanism uses a conveyor belt or roller to transport the battery plates to the slitting mechanism. One end of the battery plate is positioned by the U-shaped limiting groove 5 on the cutting table 3. Then, the position of the cutting blade 4 is adjusted by the adjusting plate 15. The cutting blade 4 completes the slitting under the drive of the cylinder.
[0035] After cutting, the material support plate 7 is raised to the U-shaped limiting groove 5 by the lifting cylinder 9 to facilitate transfer. Then, the feeding cylinder 16 drives the material support plate 7 to move along the feeding guide rail 8. During this process, the anti-slip pad 17 prevents the battery plate from sliding. When the material support plate 7 moves to the conveyor 10, the lifting cylinder 9 descends, places the battery plate on the conveyor 10, and then resets to the bottom of the cutting table 3 to wait for the next feeding.
[0036] The conveyor 10 transports the slit battery plates, and the position of the battery plates is detected by the CCD camera 19. Then, the material distribution gripper 12 descends and the battery plates are picked up by the vacuum nozzle 20. The plates are then sent to the stacking slot 13 for precise stacking via the material distribution guide rail 11.
[0037] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the specific embodiments shown are only one of the embodiments of the present invention. The actual structure is not limited to this. In short, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by this description and designs a similar structure and embodiment without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such design should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
