Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of button battery transplantation equipment, specifically a button battery feeder. Background Technology
[0002] A button cell battery is a small battery shaped like a button, also known as a coin cell battery. Due to its small size, light weight, and high energy density, it is an ideal power source for portable and small electronic devices, and is widely used in various electronic products such as watches, calculators, remote controls, electronic dictionaries, electronic scales, computer motherboards, electric toys, and medical devices (such as pacemakers and electronic hearing aids).
[0003] Traditional button cell battery dispensers rely on a gripper mechanism, which involves opening and closing gripping actions, resulting in time loss and affecting their work efficiency. In addition, they use an electromagnet transfer method, which consumes too much power when energized, thus increasing costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a button battery feeder that reduces the time loss during the grasping or releasing process, thereby improving work efficiency and solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a button battery feeder, comprising an L-shaped plate, two L-shaped plates symmetrically arranged and a transplanting structure installed between them, a feeding structure installed on the transplanting structure, the feeding structure comprising a displacement plate and a transplanting tube, a plurality of transplanting tubes distributed in a matrix fixedly connected to the lower surface of the displacement plate, a magnetic column embedded in the bottom end of the transplanting tube, a limiting plate installed below the displacement plate, the limiting plate having limiting holes matching the transplanting tube; the transplanting structure is connected to the L-shaped plate through a lifting adjustment structure.
[0006] Preferably, the lifting and adjusting structure includes a sliding plate, with long grooves opened on the adjacent vertical sides of the two L-shaped plates, and sliding plates slidably connected inside them. Several integrally formed protrusions are provided on the side of the sliding plate near the long groove, and an irregular groove is opened on the other side. Bolts are slidably connected inside the irregular groove, and threaded sleeves are connected to the bolts. Several evenly arranged locking teeth are fixedly connected to the embedded surface inside the long groove.
[0007] Preferably, the transplanting structure includes a U-shaped beam and a transplanting plate. The U-shaped beam is inverted and fixedly connected to the adjacent ends of screws on both sides. A motor is installed on one side inside the U-shaped beam, and a lead screw is connected to the output end of the motor. The other end of the lead screw is rotatably connected to the other side of the U-shaped beam. The transplanting plate has a threaded hole inside that matches the lead screw. Two horizontal guide rails are installed inside the U-shaped beam, which are symmetrically arranged about the lead screw. The other end of the horizontal guide rail slides through the transplanting plate.
[0008] Preferably, the transplanting plate is located directly above the displacement plate, and a cylinder is installed at the center of the bottom of the transplanting plate. The output end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the displacement plate. Four rectangular vertical guide rails are fixedly connected to the bottom of the transplanting plate. The bottom end of the vertical guide rails is fixedly connected to the limiting plate. The vertical guide rails slide through the displacement plate in the middle position.
[0009] Preferably, a number of reinforcing ribs are fixedly connected to the horizontal side of the L-shaped plate, the sidewalls of the reinforcing ribs are fixedly connected to the vertical side of the L-shaped plate, and a number of mounting holes are provided on the horizontal side of the L-shaped plate.
[0010] Preferably, the magnet post is made of neodymium magnet material.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] First, the button cell batteries are attracted and picked up by the magnetic column at the bottom of the transplanting tube, and then released by the limiting hole on the limiting plate. This process does not use grippers to hold the batteries, which reduces the time loss during the grabbing or releasing process, thereby improving work efficiency. It does not require electromagnets to attract the batteries, thus reducing the cost of electricity.
[0013] Secondly, using magnetic pillars instead of traditional electromagnets for adsorption avoids the consumption of large amounts of electricity and reduces costs. At the same time, the magnetic pillars are made of neodymium magnets, which have the advantages of high remanence, high coercivity and high energy product. They can firmly adsorb button batteries, preventing them from falling off or shifting. They also have good corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, and can maintain stable performance in harsh working environments, thus extending the service life of the entire transplanting device.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-5 The diagram shows a button cell battery feeder, including an L-shaped plate 1. Two L-shaped plates 1 are symmetrically arranged and a transplanting structure 3 is installed between them. A feeding structure 4 is installed on the transplanting structure 3. The feeding structure 4 includes a displacement plate 401 and a transplanting tube 402. A number of transplanting tubes 402 distributed in a matrix are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the displacement plate 401. A magnetic column 405 is embedded in the bottom end of the transplanting tube 402. A limiting plate 403 is installed below the displacement plate 401. The limiting plate 403 has limiting holes 404 that match the transplanting tubes 402. The transplanting structure 3 is connected to the L-shaped plate 1 through a lifting adjustment structure 2.
[0022] It is worth noting that the button cells are neatly arranged in the tray and are attracted by the built-in magnetic post 405 through the extension limiting hole 404 of the transplanting tube 402 for easy picking. It should be noted that the button cells are disc-shaped, and their width and diameter exceed the diameter of the limiting hole 404. When the transplanting tube 402 is pulled out of the limiting hole 404, it will move the button cells upward. Due to the limiting hole 404 of the limiting plate 403, the button cells are restricted to a certain position, thereby realizing the detachment and release. This process does not use grippers for holding, which can reduce the time loss in the gripping or releasing process and improve work efficiency. At the same time, the traditional electromagnet is not used, avoiding a large amount of power consumption, thereby reducing cost.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The lifting and adjusting structure 2 includes a sliding plate 203. Two L-shaped plates 1 have long sliding grooves 202 on their adjacent vertical sides, and the sliding plate 203 is slidably connected inside them. The sliding plate 203 has several integrally formed protrusions 207 on the side near the long sliding groove 202, and an irregularly shaped sliding groove 204 is provided on the other side. The irregularly shaped sliding groove 204 is slidably connected to a bolt 205, and a threaded sleeve 206 is threaded onto the bolt 205. Several evenly arranged locking teeth 201 are fixedly connected to the embedded surface inside the long sliding groove 202.
[0024] The bottom surface of the threaded sleeve 206 is fixedly connected to the side of the L-shaped plate 1. By rotating the threaded sleeve 206, the sliding plate 203 can be pushed into the irregular sliding groove 204. At the same time, the protrusion 207 engages with the retaining tooth 201, which can play a limiting role and prevent the sliding plate 203 from shifting within the long sliding groove 202. This allows for the adjustment of the lifting and lowering of the transplanting structure 3 to meet the transplanting needs of button batteries of different heights, thus improving the practicality of the button battery transplanting device. The up and down sliding of the sliding plate 203 not only drives the lifting and lowering of the transplanting structure 3, but also, through the connection between the transplanting structure 3 and the lifting and adjusting structure 2, makes the transplanting structure 3 more stable during the lifting and lowering process, less prone to shaking, and further ensures the accuracy of the transplanting.
[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The transplanting structure 3 includes a U-shaped beam 301 and a transplanting plate 302. The U-shaped beam 301 is upside down and its two sides are fixedly connected to the adjacent ends of screws 205. A motor 305 is installed on one side inside the U-shaped beam 301. The output end of the motor 305 is connected to a lead screw 304. The other end of the lead screw 304 is rotatably connected to the other side of the U-shaped beam 301. The transplanting plate 302 has a threaded hole that matches the lead screw 304. Two horizontal guide rails 303 are installed inside the U-shaped beam 301, which are symmetrically arranged about the lead screw 304. The other end of the horizontal guide rails 303 slides through the transplanting plate 302.
[0026] The transplanting plate 302 can slide smoothly on the horizontal guide rail 303. When the motor 305 starts, the transplanting plate 302 can be driven to reciprocate in the horizontal direction through the cooperation of the lead screw 304 with the internal threaded hole of the transplanting plate 302. This design enables the transplanting structure 3 to accurately control the position of the button cell in the horizontal direction, improving the accuracy and stability of the transplanting. Through the cooperation of the transplanting structure 3 and the lifting adjustment structure 2, the button cell transplanting device can achieve precise positioning and transplanting of the button cell, improving the automation and efficiency of button cell production.
[0027] See Figure 4 and Figure 5The transplanting plate 302 is located directly above the displacement plate 401. A cylinder 407 is installed at the center of the bottom of the transplanting plate 302. The output end of the cylinder 407 is fixedly connected to the top of the displacement plate 401. Four rectangular vertical guide rails 406 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the transplanting plate 302. The bottom end of the vertical guide rails 406 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 403. The vertical guide rails 406 slide through the displacement plate 401 in the middle position.
[0028] The extension and retraction of cylinder 407 drives displacement plate 401 to move vertically. Simultaneously, because displacement plate 401 slides through vertical guide rail 406, its movement trajectory is restricted to the vertical direction, ensuring stability. The limiting plate 403 further restricts the stroke range of displacement plate 401, preventing it from exceeding its predetermined position during movement. When cylinder 407 extends, displacement plate 401 moves downwards, gripping the button cell battery via transplanting tube 402 and magnetic post 405 fixedly connected to displacement plate 401. When cylinder 407 retracts, displacement plate 401 moves upwards, completing one transplanting action. This design ensures a tighter fit between transplanting plate 302 and displacement plate 401, improving transplanting accuracy and efficiency.
[0029] See Figure 2 The L-shaped plate 1 has several reinforcing ribs 101 fixedly connected to its horizontal side. The sidewalls of the reinforcing ribs 101 are fixedly connected to the vertical side of the L-shaped plate 1. The L-shaped plate 1 has several mounting holes 102 on its horizontal side.
[0030] The mounting holes 102 facilitate the fixed connection of the L-shaped plate 1 with other components, enhancing the stability and reliability of the entire structure; the design of the reinforcing ribs 101 further improves the strength and rigidity of the L-shaped plate 1, preventing it from deforming or being damaged during operation.
[0031] The magnet post 405 is made of neodymium magnet material, which has the advantages of high remanence, high coercivity and high magnetic energy product. It can generate a strong magnetic field, which allows the magnet post 405 to firmly attach the button battery and prevent the battery from falling off or shifting during transplantation. At the same time, neodymium magnet material also has good corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, which can maintain stable performance in harsh working environments and extend the service life of the entire transplantation device.
