Abstract
Description
An automatic battery handle sorting device Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage battery processing, and in particular to an automatic battery handle sorting device. Background Technology
[0002] As is well known, installing handles on batteries is one of the processing steps in the production and processing of storage batteries. In the existing installation technology, as shown in Figure 1, the battery handle 1 has a "U"-shaped structure, with buckles 12 on the inner side of the ends of both arms. Workers need to place the battery handle 1 one by one onto the vertical mounting base. Several battery handles 1 are grouped together, and each group of battery handles is then placed on an automatic battery handle installation device for installation. The buckles 12 of the "U"-shaped battery handle 1 are all tilted to the upper left. If, due to worker negligence, the battery handle is rotated 180 degrees, as shown in the upper position of the battery handle in Figure 1, the buckles of the "U"-shaped battery handles on the mounting base are all tilted to the upper right. When used on the automatic battery handle installation device, the reversed battery handle cannot be pressed into the battery cover, which not only damages the battery cover but also affects subsequent normal production. Therefore, proposing an automatic battery handle sorting device has become a basic requirement for those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model discloses an automatic battery handle sorting device.
[0004] To achieve the aforementioned objective, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] An automatic battery handle sorting device includes a mounting base and battery handles. The battery handles are sequentially mounted on the base from top to bottom and are secured to both sides of the right side of the mounting base by snap-fit devices. A cylinder A is fixed on the right side of the mounting base. An opening / closing cylinder is fixed on the telescopic end of cylinder A. Baffles are fixed on both telescopic ends of the opening / closing cylinder. A support plate is provided on the upper part of the baffles. A cylinder B is fixed on the upper right side of the support plate. A push plate is fixed on the telescopic end of cylinder B. The push plate is correspondingly set with the battery handles on the notches on both sides of the mounting base. Photoelectric sensors are fixed on the right side of the mounting base at the corresponding notches. Cylinders C are fixed on the lower part of both sides of the support plate. The lifting ends of cylinders C are respectively set with the outer sides of the two arms of the battery handles.
[0006] The battery handle automatic sorting device has an S-shaped mounting base, which includes an integrally formed upper flat plate, a vertical plate, and a lower flat plate. The upper flat plate and the lower flat plate are both arc-shaped transitions with the vertical plate, and the lower flat plate is fixed to the external frame.
[0007] The aforementioned automatic battery handle sorting device has an opening in the middle left side of the tray, and both arms of the battery handle are located inside the opening. A support plate extends outward from the middle right side of the tray, and the tray is fixed to the external frame by the support plate.
[0008] The automatic battery handle sorting device has a push plate with a horizontally placed "U"-shaped structure, and the two arms are respectively set to correspond to the ends of the two arms of the battery handle.
[0009] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0010] The automatic battery handle sorting device of this utility model uses a cylinder C to hold the falling battery handle in place to prevent it from falling. A photoelectric sensor detects the position of the battery handle's latch to determine if it is installed backwards. If it is installed correctly, the cylinder C no longer limits the battery handle, the opening and closing cylinder opens, and the battery handle slides down. If it is installed backwards, the cylinder B pushes the push plate to push the backwards battery handle out of the mounting base at the notch. This utility model has a simple structure and is easy to use. It automatically sorts backwards battery handles, avoiding the drawback of damaging the battery cover due to backwards installation.

[0016] The present invention will be explained in detail through the following embodiments. The purpose of disclosing the present invention is to protect all technical improvements within the scope of the present invention.
[0017] The automatic battery handle sorting device described in conjunction with Figures 2-4 includes a mounting base 2 and a battery handle 1. The battery handle 1 is installed on the base 2 from top to bottom and is secured to both sides of the right side of the mounting base 2 by buckles 12. A cylinder A5 is fixed on the right side of the mounting base 2. An opening and closing cylinder 6 is fixed on the telescopic end of the cylinder A5. Baffles 8 are fixed on both telescopic ends of the opening and closing cylinder 6. A support plate 4 is provided on the upper part of the baffles 8. A cylinder B7 is fixed on the upper right side of the support plate 4. A push plate 3 is fixed on the telescopic end of the cylinder B7. The push plate 3 is correspondingly set with the battery handle 1 on the notches 10 on both sides of the mounting base 2. A photoelectric sensor 13 is fixed on the right side of the mounting base 2 at the corresponding notches 10. A cylinder C9 is fixed on the lower part of both sides of the support plate 4. The lifting ends of the cylinders C9 are respectively set with the outer sides of the two arms of the battery handle 1.
[0018] Specifically, the mounting base plate 2 is S-shaped and includes an integrally formed upper flat plate, a vertical plate, and a lower flat plate. The upper flat plate and the lower flat plate are both curvedly transitioned to the vertical plate, and the lower flat plate is fixed to the external frame.
[0019] Specifically, an opening is provided in the middle of the left side of the tray 4, and both arms of the battery handle 1 are located in the opening. A support plate 11 extends outward from the middle of the right side of the tray 4, and the tray 4 is fixed to the external frame by the support plate 11.
[0020] Specifically, the push plate 3 is set as a horizontally placed "U"-shaped structure, with the two arms corresponding to the ends of the two arms of the battery handle 1.
[0021] In implementing the automatic battery handle sorting device of this utility model, during use, the mounting base 2 and the tray 4 are respectively fixed on the external frame. The battery handles 1 are manually placed one by one onto the mounting base 2. At this time, the opening and closing cylinder 6 is in the closed state. The battery handles 1 sliding down the mounting base 2 are detected by the photoelectric sensor 13 to determine the direction of the latch 12. When the direction of the latch 12 is detected as reversed, the signal from the photoelectric sensor 13 is transmitted to the external PLC control system. The PLC control system drives the cylinder B7 to move, pushing the pusher plate 3 towards the mounting base 2, thereby pushing the incorrectly placed battery handles 1 at the notch 10 to the left side of the mounting base 2, where they are collected by the receiving trough placed at the bottom of the frame. When the direction of the latch 12 is detected as correct, the signal from the photoelectric sensor 13 is transmitted to the external PLC control system, which... The control system drives cylinder C9 to retract, removing the lowermost battery handle 1 from its position and allowing it to slide onto baffle 8. Once in position, cylinder C9 immediately resets and presses down on the second handle. Cylinder A5 drives cylinder 6 to descend, extending cylinder A5's stroke. Cylinder C9's extension then presses down on the second-to-last battery handle 1. At this point, cylinder 6 activates, extending its extension ends on both sides, causing baffle 8 to move outwards. The battery handle 1 on baffle 8 slides down along mounting plate 2 for one handle's stroke. Then, cylinder A5 drives cylinder 6 upwards, closing it again to allow the next qualified handle to fall. Subsequent battery handles 1 are selected according to this working principle. While cylinder A5 drives cylinder 6 downwards for one stroke, it also provides a push force to the battery handles 1 below baffle 8, making their descent smoother.
[0022] The frame, PLC control system, and receiving trough are all existing technologies. The principle of the PLC control system controlling the action of each cylinder is also existing technology, so it will not be described in detail. Furthermore, the cylinder is connected to an external air source, which is an air compressor. The transmission relationship is well known to those skilled in the art, so it will not be described in detail.
[0023] The parts of this utility model not described in detail are existing technologies.
[0024] The embodiments selected herein for the purpose of disclosing the inventive objectives of this utility model are currently considered appropriate; however, it should be understood that this utility model is intended to include all variations and modifications of the embodiments that fall within the scope of this concept and utility model.
