Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a battery slot engraving device, and more particularly to a rechargeable battery slot laser engraving device. Background Technology
[0002] For printing on rechargeable battery cases, many traditional methods use ink printing. However, ink printing requires drying the ink afterward, which is energy-intensive. Furthermore, ink printing in factories involves consumables such as ink and screen printing plates, increasing raw material costs and raising production costs. Additionally, ink printing presents environmental challenges and its use is subject to certain restrictions. To overcome these shortcomings, laser engraving has emerged. However, after the previous labeling process, the operator moves the battery case to the laser engraving machine for laser engraving before placing it in the production line. Following laser engraving, subsequent processes such as handle installation are performed. This entire process is labor-intensive, and the frequent handling of the battery case can easily cause wear and tear, affecting quality. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rechargeable battery slot laser engraving device that can solve at least one of the above problems.
[0004] According to one aspect of the present invention, a laser engraving device for a rechargeable battery slot is provided, comprising a frame, a conveying device, a laser engraving machine, a first guide roller, a second guide roller, and a blocking device. The conveying device includes a conveyor belt, with laser engraving machines arranged on opposite sides of the conveyor belt. The first guide roller and the second guide roller are respectively arranged at the front and rear ends of the frame, and the conveyor belt is located between the first guide roller and the second guide roller. The blocking device is arranged on the frame and located on the front and rear sides of the laser engraving machine.
[0005] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By incorporating a first guide roller, the battery slots that have completed the previous process can be guided and input onto a conveyor belt for transport. Upon reaching the laser engraving machine, laser engraving is performed. The batteries are then transported further and guided out to the next process via a second guide roller. This eliminates the need for manual handling of the battery slots, significantly saving labor, improving production efficiency, and reducing wear on the battery slots. The material-blocking device facilitates the laser engraving machine to engrave each battery slot individually, ensuring engraving quality. Therefore, laser engraving of the battery slots replaces existing ink printing, reducing raw material costs and achieving environmental protection.
[0006] In some embodiments, the conveying device further includes a conveyor motor, which is fixed to the frame, and the conveyor belt is connected to the output shaft of the conveyor motor. Thus, the conveyor motor facilitates the conveying of the conveyor belt, thereby driving the conveyor belt to transport the battery compartment.
[0007] In some embodiments, the rechargeable battery slot laser engraving equipment also includes two flow bars, both located above the conveyor belt, with the length direction of the flow bars aligned with the length direction of the conveyor belt. Thus, by providing flow bars, the battery slots on the conveyor belt can be positioned to their designated positions, and the transport of the battery slots can be facilitated.
[0008] In some embodiments, the rechargeable battery slot laser engraving equipment also includes a mounting frame located on both sides of the conveyor belt. The mounting frame has an adjustment groove, which is vertically positioned. The bottom end of the mounting frame is fixed to the machine frame, and the flow strip is fixed to the mounting frame via the adjustment groove. Therefore, by adjusting the groove on the mounting frame, the relative height of the flow strip on the mounting frame can be adjusted, thereby accommodating the conveying of battery slots of different sizes and specifications, and preventing the flow strip from obstructing the laser engraving area, thus meeting different usage requirements.
[0009] In some embodiments, the material-blocking device includes a first material-blocking cylinder and a second material-blocking cylinder. Both the first and second material-blocking cylinders are fixed on the frame and correspondingly arranged with the conveyor belt. The first and second material-blocking cylinders are located on the front and rear sides of the laser engraving machine, respectively. Therefore, by providing the first and second material-blocking cylinders, the laser engraving machine can easily engrave the battery slots one by one, preventing subsequent battery slots from crowding into the laser engraving position.
[0010] In some embodiments, the baffle device further includes a fixing plate with a vertical groove. The fixing plate is fixed to one side of the frame via the vertical groove. There are two fixing plates, and the first baffle cylinder and the second baffle cylinder are respectively fixed to their respective fixing plates. Thus, the fixing plates and the vertical grooves on them facilitate the adjustment of the installation height of the first baffle cylinder and the second baffle cylinder, thereby adapting to the limiting of battery slots of different sizes.
[0011] In some embodiments, the rechargeable battery slot laser engraving equipment also includes multiple cleaning rollers, located on opposite sides of the conveyor belt, between the first guide roller and the flow bar. Thus, by providing cleaning rollers, the two sides of the battery slot to be engraved can be cleaned, ensuring a cleanliness effect.
[0012] In some embodiments, the rechargeable battery slot laser engraving equipment also includes a mounting plate with a horizontal groove perpendicular to the length of the conveyor belt. The mounting plate is fixed to the frame via the horizontal groove, and cleaning rollers are mounted on the mounting plate. Thus, the horizontal groove allows for precise control of the distance between two oppositely positioned cleaning rollers, thereby meeting the cleaning requirements of different battery slot models.

[0017] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0018] Reference Figures 1-4 A rechargeable battery slot laser engraving equipment includes a frame 1, a conveying device 2, a laser engraving machine 3, a first guide roller 4, a second guide roller 5, and a blocking device 6. The conveying device 2 includes a conveyor belt 21, with the laser engraving machine 3 located on opposite sides of the conveyor belt 21. The first guide roller 4 and the second guide roller 5 are respectively located at the front and rear ends of the frame 1. The conveyor belt 21 is located between the first guide roller 4 and the second guide roller 5. The blocking device 6 is located on the frame 1 and on the front and rear sides of the laser engraving machine 3.
[0019] In practical use, the front end of the rechargeable battery slot laser engraving equipment of this invention is connected to the discharge port of the automatic labeling machine, and the rear end is connected to the conveyor roller conveyor for the next process. Therefore, the battery slots that have undergone automatic labeling in the previous process can be input onto the conveyor belt 21 under the guidance of the first guide roller 4 and transported by the conveyor belt 21. When the battery slots are transported to the laser engraving machine 3, the laser engraving machines on both sides perform laser engraving on both sides of the battery slots. After laser engraving, the battery slots continue to be transported along the conveyor belt 21 and are finally transported to the second guide roller 5. Under the guidance of the second guide roller 5, they are conveyed to the conveyor roller conveyor for the next process, facilitating the operation of the next process.
[0020] The rechargeable battery slot laser engraving equipment of this utility model can be directly connected to other existing equipment during use, so that there is no need for manual handling between adjacent processes, which greatly saves labor and improves production efficiency; at the same time, the use of laser engraving achieves the effect of environmental protection and energy saving.
[0021] The conveying device 2 also includes a conveyor motor 22, which is fixed on the frame 1. The conveyor belt 21 is connected to the output shaft of the conveyor motor 22. A corresponding rotating shaft is mounted on the frame 1, and the conveyor belt 21 is fitted onto the rotating shaft. The output shaft of the conveyor motor 22 drives the corresponding rotating shaft to rotate through a synchronous belt and synchronous pulley, thereby realizing the conveying function of the conveyor belt 21. The conveyor motor 22 driving the conveyor belt 21 is existing technology, and the specific connection structure will not be described in detail here.
[0022] The rechargeable battery slot laser engraving equipment of this invention also includes two flow bars 7, both located above the conveyor belt 21, with the length direction of the flow bars 7 aligned with the length direction of the conveyor belt 21. Therefore, when the battery slot moves along the conveyor belt 21 in the conveying direction, the flow bars 7 act on both sides of the battery slot, limiting its movement and ensuring straight-line transport, thereby guaranteeing the engraving quality of the subsequent laser engraving.
[0023] The rechargeable battery slot laser engraving equipment also includes a mounting frame 8, which is located on both sides of the conveyor belt 21. The mounting frame 8 is provided with an adjustment groove 81, which is vertically set. The bottom end of the mounting frame 8 is fixed on the frame 1, and the flow strip 7 is fixed to the mounting frame 8 through the adjustment groove 81.
[0024] The bottom of the mounting bracket 8 is fixed to the frame 1 with screws, and the flow strip 7 is fixed to the adjusting groove 81 with bolts. When the height of the flow strip 7 needs to be adjusted, loosen the bolts fixing the flow strip 7, and then adjust the vertical position of the flow strip 7; after the height of the flow strip 7 is adjusted to the correct position, tighten the corresponding bolts to fix the flow strip 7 to the mounting bracket 8. The adjusting groove 81 allows for convenient adjustment of the height of the flow strip 7 to meet the conveying requirements of different battery compartment models. During battery compartment conveying, the flow strip 7 acts on the upper part of the side of the battery compartment, avoiding obstruction of the subsequent laser engraving area and ensuring normal engraving of the battery compartment. The flow strip 7 can limit the movement of the two sides of the battery compartment and also plays a good guiding role.
[0025] The material blocking device 6 includes a first material blocking cylinder 61 and a second material blocking cylinder 62. Both the first material blocking cylinder 61 and the second material blocking cylinder 62 are fixed on the frame 1 and are correspondingly arranged with the conveyor belt 21. The first material blocking cylinder 61 and the second material blocking cylinder 62 are located on the front and rear sides of the laser engraving machine 3, respectively.
[0026] Specifically, when the battery slot is conveyed onto the conveyor belt 21 via the first guide roller 4, and then transported to the laser engraving machine 3 by the conveyor belt 21, the entire battery slot passes through the first blocking cylinder 61. Subsequently, the piston rod of the first blocking cylinder 61 extends to prevent the next battery slot from entering the conveyor belt, thus ensuring that the battery slots are transported to the laser engraving machine 3 in an orderly manner for engraving. This prevents the battery slots from clustering together and ensures that the laser engraving machine 3 engraves the battery slots in an orderly manner, guaranteeing the laser engraving effect. After the previous battery slot is laser engraved, the piston rod of the first blocking cylinder 61 retracts, facilitating the next battery slot to enter the conveyor belt 21 for transport.
[0027] Similarly, when the laser-engraved battery slot is transported to the second baffle cylinder 62, the piston rod of the second baffle cylinder 62 is pulled back to facilitate the smooth output of the battery slot; then, the piston rod of the second baffle cylinder 62 extends to facilitate the output of the battery slots one by one.
[0028] In practical use, photoelectric sensors are installed at both the first stop cylinder 61 and the second stop cylinder 62. These sensors facilitate the sensing of passing battery slots, allowing external controllers or other structures to control the extension and retraction of the piston rods of the first stop cylinder 61 and the second stop cylinder 62. However, the controller's control of the piston rod extension and retraction is existing technology.
[0029] The material blocking device 6 also includes a fixing plate 63, which has a vertical groove 631. The fixing plate 63 is fixed to one side of the frame 1 through the vertical groove 631. There are two fixing plates 63, and the first material blocking cylinder 61 and the second material blocking cylinder 62 are respectively fixed on the corresponding fixing plates 63. The fixing method and height adjustment method of the first material blocking cylinder 61 and the second material blocking cylinder 62 on the vertical groove 631 are the same as the fixing method and height adjustment method of the flow strip 7 on the adjustment groove 81. By providing the vertical groove 631, the height position of the first material blocking cylinder 61 and the second material blocking cylinder 62 can be adjusted, thereby meeting the blocking requirements of different battery slot models.
[0030] The rechargeable battery slot laser engraving equipment also includes cleaning rollers 9. Multiple cleaning rollers 9 are located on opposite sides of the conveyor belt 21, between the first guide roller 4 and the flow bar 7. There are two sets of cleaning rollers 9, with two oppositely positioned cleaning rollers forming one set. These two sets of cleaning rollers 9 clean the sidewalls of the input battery slots, preventing impurities from adhering to the sidewalls and thus ensuring the subsequent laser engraving effect.
[0031] The rechargeable battery slot laser engraving equipment of this utility model also includes a mounting plate 10, on which a horizontal groove 101 is provided. The length direction of the horizontal groove 101 is perpendicular to the length direction of the conveyor belt 21. The mounting plate 10 is fixed to the frame 1 through the horizontal groove 101, and the cleaning rollers 9 are disposed on the mounting plate 10. The horizontal groove 101 is fixed to the frame 1 by bolts. When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the relatively arranged cleaning rollers 9, the bolts are loosened to adjust the relative position of the mounting plate 10 on the frame 1. After the distance between the relatively arranged cleaning rollers 9 meets the requirements, the bolts are tightened to fix the position, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the position of the cleaning rollers 9.
[0032] In actual use, the distance between the relatively set cleaning rollers 9 can be adjusted according to the actual battery slot model to facilitate the passage of battery slots of different widths. This also allows the cleaning rollers to clean the side walls of the battery slots without damaging them, ensuring the normal transport of the battery slots.
[0033] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
