Description

An automatic arrangement device for large-diameter pre-plated nickel battery steel casings Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of battery production and processing, and in particular relates to an automatic arrangement device for large-diameter pre-plated nickel battery steel shells. Background Technology

[0002] The automatic sorting device for pre-plated nickel battery steel shells is an automated equipment specifically designed for the production process of pre-plated nickel battery steel shells. Its core function is to achieve efficient and orderly arrangement of the steel shells. This device typically integrates modules such as vibratory feeding, guiding screening, and posture correction. High-frequency vibration of a vibratory feeder guides the randomly arranged steel shells along a specific track. During the process, shape-matching guide structures remove steel shells with unqualified postures, and positioning components arrange qualified steel shells neatly in a uniform direction (e.g., opening upwards / downwards) on a conveyor belt or in tooling fixtures, ultimately delivering them accurately to subsequent processes (such as cleaning, inspection, and assembly). It significantly replaces manual sorting and arrangement, improving production efficiency and reducing errors and contamination caused by manual operation. It is also adaptable to different specifications of pre-plated nickel battery steel shells, possessing strong versatility and automation integration capabilities. It is one of the key pieces of equipment ensuring consistency and continuity in the large-scale production of battery steel shells.

[0003] However, it still has the following drawbacks in actual use: Most existing automatic battery steel shell arranging devices arrange the battery steel shells evenly and at equal intervals using a dividing plate. However, most existing dividing plates are of fixed models. When arranging battery steel shells with different inner diameters, different dividing plates need to be replaced, which not only has poor versatility but is also quite cumbersome to replace. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic arrangement device for large-diameter pre-plated nickel battery steel shells. This invention solves the problem of existing automatic steel shell arrangement devices requiring disassembly and replacement of different models of indexing plates when changing battery steel shells of different sizes, which is cumbersome and inefficient, by setting up an indexing plate and directional components.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model is an automatic arrangement device for large-diameter pre-plated nickel battery steel shells, including a main component and an indexing plate. The main component includes a side plate. A belt conveyor is provided on one side of the indexing plate. A directional component is provided on the upper surface of the belt conveyor. A conveyor plate fixedly connected to the side plate is also provided on the other side of the indexing plate.

[0007] The indexing plate includes a chassis rotatably connected to the surface of the side plate. Two clamping plates are movably connected to the end of the chassis away from the side plate. A connecting plate is hinged to the end of the two clamping plates facing the same direction. The ends of the two connecting plates away from the clamping plates are hinged together.

[0008] Two clamping plates are each fixed with an adjusting plate at an angle on one of their opposite sides. A spring rod is also fixed horizontally on the chassis. An adjusting component that matches the adjusting plate is fixed to the telescopic end of the spring rod. A housing is also fixed on the outer surface of the chassis. A threaded rod is vertically threaded to the center of the housing. An ejector that matches the adjusting component is fixed to one end of the threaded rod that is screwed into the housing.

[0009] Furthermore, the indexing plate also includes a second clamping plate movably connected to the chassis. The second clamping plate is hinged to the hinge point where the two connecting plates are hinged. A spring rod is horizontally fixed at the other end of the chassis, and the telescopic end of the spring rod is fixedly connected to the first clamping plate.

[0010] Furthermore, clamping plate one, connecting plate, adjusting plate, spring rod, spring rod, adjusting component and clamping plate two located on the same side are arranged as a group, and multiple groups are arranged in a circular array with the chassis as the center. The sides of two clamping plates one and clamping plates two in the same group that are close to each other form a placement groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the side of the adjusting member that contacts the ejector is inclined. When the ejector moves toward the chassis, the adjusting member moves in the vertical direction of the ejector. A movable roller is rotatably connected to the side of the ejector that contacts the adjusting member.

[0012] Furthermore, the directional component includes a connecting block fixed to the surface of the side plate, a hydraulic telescopic rod arranged parallel to the side plate fixed on the connecting block, and a directional baffle fixed to the telescopic end of the hydraulic telescopic rod;

[0013] The belt conveyor, directional components, and conveyor plates are all installed at an angle;

[0014] A motor is also fixed to the other surface of the side plate, and the motor power shaft passes through the side plate and is fixedly connected to the central shaft of the indexing plate.

[0015] Furthermore, a handle is fixed to the end of the threaded rod away from the ejector, and a fixing bolt is also threaded onto the outer periphery of the threaded rod.

[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This utility model, through the setting of an indexing plate and a directional component, allows for the adjustment of the position of the ejector by rotating the screw handle during use. The ejector contacts the adjusting component through its inclined surface, pushing the adjusting component to move horizontally. The adjusting component, by pressing the inclined adjusting plate, drives the clamping plate one to move, causing the two clamping plates one in the same placement slot to move closer or further apart. At the same time, through the connecting plate, the clamping plate two can also move closer or further apart synchronously. Ultimately, the inner diameter of the placement slot is adjusted to match the outer diameter of the battery steel shell. This solves the problem that existing automatic steel shell arrangement devices require disassembly and replacement of different models of indexing plates when changing to different sizes of battery steel shells, which is cumbersome and inefficient.

[0018] 2. By setting up an indexing plate, this utility model can adjust the inner diameter of the placement slot according to the inner diameter of the battery to a large extent, eliminating the need to produce an indexing plate that is compatible with the inner diameter of each battery, thus solving the problem of poor versatility.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-6. This utility model is an automatic arrangement device for large-diameter pre-plated nickel battery steel shells, including a main component 1 and an indexing plate 2. The main component 1 includes a side plate 11. A belt conveyor 12 is provided on one side of the indexing plate 2. An orientation component 13 is provided on the upper surface of the belt conveyor 12. A conveying plate 14 fixedly connected to the side plate 11 is also provided on the other side of the indexing plate 2. The main component 1 is mainly used for conveying the front and rear processes. The indexing plate 2 makes the messy battery steel shells neatly arranged, which is convenient for subsequent nickel plating.

[0030] The indexing plate 2 includes a base 21 rotatably connected to the surface of the side plate 11. Two clamping plates 22 are movably connected to the end of the base 21 away from the side plate 11. A connecting plate 221 is hinged to the end of the two clamping plates 22 in the same direction. The ends of the two connecting plates 221 away from the clamping plates 22 are hinged together. The base 21 is used to fix and support the entire indexing plate 2 and has a movable groove, which allows the clamping plates 22 and 27 to move in a certain direction.

[0031] An adjusting plate 222 is fixedly inclined on one side of each of the two clamping plates 22. A spring rod 231 is also fixed horizontally on the chassis 21. An adjusting component 23 adapted to the adjusting plate 222 is fixed to the telescopic end of the spring rod 231. A housing 24 is also fixed on the outer surface of the chassis 21. A threaded rod 25 is vertically threaded to the center of the housing 24. One end of the threaded rod 25 is screwed into the housing 24 and a push-out component 26 adapted to the adjusting component 23 is fixed thereon. The adjusting component 23 can move in conjunction with the push-out component 26, and at the same time, the other end can push the adjusting plate 222 to ultimately drive the clamping plate 22 to move, thereby changing the inner diameter of the placement groove 28.

[0032] Furthermore, the indexing plate 2 also includes a clamping plate 27 movably connected to the chassis 21. The clamping plate 27 is hinged at the hinge point where the two connecting plates 221 are hinged. A spring rod 29 is horizontally fixed at the other end of the chassis 21. The telescopic end of the spring rod 29 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 22. The clamping plate 27 is used to support the battery steel shell at the bottom and can stably clamp the battery steel shell as the two clamping plates 22 approach or move away. When the spring rod 29 is used for adjustment, the clamping plate 22 can retract on its own.

[0033] Furthermore, clamping plate 22, connecting plate 221, adjusting plate 222, spring rod 231, spring rod 29, adjusting component 23 and clamping plate 27 located on the same side are arranged as a group, and multiple groups are arranged in a circular array with the chassis 21 as the center. The sides of two clamping plates 22 and clamping plate 27 in the same group that are close to each other constitute a placement groove 28. The multiple groups of placement grooves 28 arranged in a circular array rotate continuously with the chassis 21 to realize the uninterrupted conveying and arrangement of battery steel shells.

[0034] Furthermore, the side of the adjusting member 23 that contacts the ejector member 26 is inclined. When the ejector member 26 moves toward the chassis 21, the adjusting member 23 will move in the vertical direction of the ejector member 26. The side of the ejector member 26 that contacts the adjusting member 23 is rotatably connected to a movable roller 261. The movable roller 261 can reduce the frictional resistance when the two are in contact, increase the smoothness of the device adjustment, and reduce the friction of the contact surface, thereby increasing its service life.

[0035] Furthermore, the directional component 13 includes a connecting block 131 fixed to the surface of the side plate 11. A hydraulic telescopic rod 132, which is parallel to the side plate 11, is fixed on the connecting block 131. A directional baffle 133 is fixed to the telescopic end of the hydraulic telescopic rod 132. The hydraulic telescopic rod 132 facilitates the spacing between the directional baffle 133 and the belt conveyor 12, making it convenient to adjust the battery steel shells with different inner diameters.

[0036] The belt conveyor 12, the directional component 13, and the conveyor plate 14 are all inclined. The inclined arrangement allows the battery steel shell to move from the belt conveyor 12 to the placement groove 28 of the indexing plate 2 and from the placement groove 28 to the conveyor plate 14 according to its own weight.

[0037] A motor is also fixed to the other surface of the side plate 11. The motor power shaft passes through the side plate 11 and is fixedly connected to the central shaft of the indexing plate 2. The motor is a servo motor and is used to drive the indexing plate 2 to rotate.

[0038] Furthermore, a handle 251 is fixed to the end of the threaded rod 25 away from the ejector 26, and a fixing bolt 252 is also threaded to the outer periphery of the threaded rod 25. The handle 251 is convenient for manual adjustment by rotating it.

[0039] The specific working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using this device, the operator adjusts the position of the ejector 26 by rotating the handle 251 at the end of the threaded rod 25 according to the size of the large-diameter pre-plated nickel battery steel shell to be processed. Since the threaded rod 25 is threadedly connected to the outer shell 24, when the handle 251 is rotated, the ejector 26 will move axially along the chassis 21. The ejector 26 contacts the adjusting member 23 through the inclined surface. Its movement will push the adjusting member 23 to move in the horizontal direction (the movable roller 261 can reduce the frictional resistance when the two are in contact). The adjusting member 23 drives the clamping plate 22 to move by squeezing the inclined adjusting plate 222, so that the two clamping plates 22 in the same placement groove 28 move closer or further away from each other. At the same time, the connecting plate 221 can also drive the clamping plate 27 to move closer or further away synchronously, and finally adjust the inner diameter of the placement groove 28 to match the outer diameter of the battery steel shell.

[0040] After adjustment, tighten the fixing bolt 252 to lock the position of the threaded rod 25, preventing changes in the size of the placement groove 28 during operation. The spring pull rod 231 always applies a reverse pull force to the adjusting component 23, ensuring that the adjusting component 23 is in close contact with the ejector 26 and maintaining the stability of the placement groove 28. Then, the battery steel shell is placed on the belt conveyor 12 for transportation. The directional component 13 can be easily adjusted and limited to transport the battery steel shells one by one. When a certain group of placement grooves 28 on the indexing plate 2 rotates with the chassis 21 to the output end of the belt conveyor 12, the oriented battery steel shell falls exactly into the placement groove 28. Since the placement groove 28 is formed by two clamping plates 22 and 27, and the three The steel shell can be stably clamped by the connecting plate 221. The chassis 21 continues to rotate, driving the placement groove 28 holding the steel shell to pass through the detection or temporary storage position in sequence (set according to actual production needs), and finally rotate to the input end of the conveyor plate 14. When the placement groove 28 is aligned with the conveyor plate 14, the subsequent mechanism (such as another set of ejection components or gravity) makes the steel shell detach from the placement groove 28 and fall onto the inclined conveyor plate 14, and slide out along the conveyor plate 14 to the next process, completing one automatic arrangement and transfer process. If it is necessary to replace the battery steel shell of different sizes, simply loosen the fixing bolt 252 and rotate the handle 251 to adjust the size of the placement groove 28. There is no need to disassemble the device, which greatly improves the versatility and adjustment efficiency of the equipment.

[0041] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and do not limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or to some of the technical features, shall be protected by the present utility model.
