[0002] Battery compartment strip forming is a process that uses precision molds to stamp, bend, and process metal or plastic materials to form a specific structure. Its core steps include material cutting, positioning and feeding, mold stamping and forming, and edge trimming to ensure the dimensional accuracy (typically ±0.1mm) and structural strength of the strip.

[0003] In the process of processing battery compartment strips, gantry-type robotic arms are mostly used to transfer raw materials. However, gantry-type robotic arms occupy a large area and require more operating costs. Therefore, an automatic feeding mechanism is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing truss-type robotic arms, which occupy a large area and incur higher operating costs, by proposing an automatic feeding mechanism and an integrated battery compartment pressing strip forming device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An automatic feeding mechanism includes a conveyor frame, a mounting platform fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor frame, two fixing blocks fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the mounting platform, a through support tube rotatably connected between the two fixing blocks, a turntable fixedly connected to one end of the support tube, four mounting ports opened on the circumference of the turntable, two first cylinders fixedly connected to two opposite mounting ports, a same mounting plate fixedly connected to one end of the piston rod of the two first cylinders at the same horizontal position, and multiple suction cups for absorbing materials fixedly installed on the side of the mounting plate away from the support tube.

[0007] A conveying mechanism, which is located at the bottom of the conveyor frame for conveying materials;

[0008] A pushing mechanism is disposed on the surface of the mounting platform for pushing materials.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the conveying mechanism includes two conveying rollers, both of which are rotatably connected between the two sides of the conveying frame. A conveyor belt is driven between the two conveying rollers. A first motor is fixedly connected to one side of the conveying frame, and one end of the output shaft of the first motor is fixed to one of the conveying rollers.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, one end of the conveyor frame is fixedly connected to a positioning plate for positioning materials, and two symmetrically arranged guide plates are fixed to one side of the positioning plate by bolts. The ends of the two guide plates away from the positioning plate are arranged in a figure-eight shape.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the pushing mechanism includes a vertical plate, which is fixed to the top of the mounting platform. A through threaded rod is rotatably connected to one side of the vertical plate, and an L-shaped pushing frame is threaded to the circumference of the threaded rod. Two guide rods are fixedly connected to one side of the vertical plate, and both guide rods slide through the pushing frame. A second motor is fixedly connected to one side of the vertical plate, and one end of the output shaft of the second motor is fixed to the threaded rod. A clamping assembly for clamping materials is provided on the bottom surface of the pushing frame.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the clamping assembly includes a clamping plate, which is rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the pusher frame, and a second cylinder is rotatably connected between the clamping plate and the pusher frame.

When the material moves to the bottom of the turntable, the first cylinder located below is activated, which drives the mounting plate below to move. Then, the material is sucked up by the suction cup, and then the first cylinder retracts. Subsequently, the third motor is started, which drives the support tube to rotate through the synchronous pulley and synchronous belt. The support tube drives the turntable to rotate, thereby moving the material to the top. Then, the second cylinder is activated, which pushes the clamping plate to clamp and fix the material. Then, the suction cup is released, and then the second motor is activated.
