Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery packaging and feeding technology, specifically to a battery packaging device. Background Technology

[0002] After the batteries are produced, they are transported to the packaging station via a conveyor line. Four batteries are packaged together, and the packaged batteries are then transported to the boxing station via a battery feeding device. Finally, these batteries are placed row by row into cardboard boxes to complete the boxing process. However, current battery boxing is mostly done manually, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a device that can automatically pack batteries into boxes to improve work efficiency.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is to provide a battery packaging device with the following structure:

[0005] The system includes a frame, a turntable, a drive unit, and a feeding assembly. The turntable is vertically positioned and rotatably connected to the frame. Below, to one side, and above the turntable are respectively located a carton loading station, a battery packing station, and a feeding station. Several fixed seats are evenly distributed circumferentially on the outer circumferential wall of the turntable. The drive unit is connected to the turntable and drives it to rotate circumferentially, thereby causing the fixed seats to sequentially pass through the carton loading station, battery packing station, and feeding station. Each fixed seat has a groove for accommodating a carton. The inner bottom wall of the groove is equipped with a vacuum suction cup and a magnetic suction module. The vacuum suction cup is used to adhere to the bottom of the carton, and the magnetic suction module is used to magnetically attract the battery inside the carton. The feeding assembly is located at the feeding station and is used to remove the packed carton and battery from the fixed seats.

[0006] After adopting the above structure, the battery packaging device of this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0007] The drive unit of this invention can drive the turntable to rotate circumferentially, causing the fixed seat to pass sequentially through the carton loading station, the battery packing station, and the unloading station. When the fixed seat passes through the carton loading station, the carton loading machine will feed the folded carton into the fixed seat of the carton loading station. Since the carton loading station is located below the turntable, a vacuum suction cup is set on the inner bottom wall of the groove to prevent the carton from falling out of the fixed seat. When the fixed seat passes through the battery packing station, the battery loading machine will push the stacked batteries horizontally into the carton on the fixed seat from one side. Since the battery packing station is located on one side of the turntable, a magnetic suction module is set on the inner bottom wall of the groove to magnetically attract the batteries in the carton and prevent the batteries from falling out. Finally, when the fixed seat passes through the unloading station, the unloading component will remove the packed carton and batteries from the fixed seat.

[0008] The battery packing device of this invention can automatically pack batteries, which is not only highly efficient but also saves time and effort.

[0009] Preferably, there are four fixed seats, evenly spaced on the outer peripheral wall of the turntable. With this arrangement, the fixed seats can move to the corresponding next work position every 90 degrees of turntable rotation.

[0010] Preferably, there are two vacuum suction cups, symmetrically arranged on the inner bottom wall of the groove; the two vacuum suction cups are connected to an external air source through air tubes. This allows for better adhesion to the bottom of the cardboard box, preventing the cardboard box from falling off.

[0011] Preferably, the magnetic module is a permanent magnet or electromagnet, and it is evenly distributed throughout the inner bottom wall of the groove. The batteries are arranged in groups of four and stacked layer by layer; therefore, by distributing the magnetic module throughout the inner bottom wall of the groove, it is ensured that none of the batteries will fall out.

[0012] Preferably, the unloading assembly includes an unloading cylinder connected to the frame and an unloading push plate connected to the output end of the unloading cylinder; the two side walls of the fixed seat are open ends, the unloading push plate is located on one side of the fixed seat at the unloading station, and the unloading cylinder is used to drive the unloading push plate to be horizontally pushed into the groove and push out the packaged battery in the groove.

[0013] Preferably, the unloading station is equipped with a conveyor track on the side away from the unloading push plate, and the conveyor track is flush with the inner bottom wall of the fixed seat on the unloading station. When the fixed seat moves to the unloading station, the unloading cylinder only needs to drive the unloading push plate horizontally to push the boxed carton and battery into the conveyor track.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0021] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model discloses a battery packing device, which includes a frame 1, a turntable 2, a drive unit 3 (e.g., a drive motor) and a feeding assembly 4.

[0022] The turntable 2 is vertically positioned and rotatably connected to the frame 1. A cardboard box feeding station, a battery boxing station, and a discharge station are respectively located below, on one side, and above the turntable 2. A cardboard box feeder, a battery feeder, and a discharge assembly 4 are respectively installed at each of these stations. Several fixed seats 21 are evenly distributed circumferentially on the outer periphery of the turntable 2. A drive unit 3 is connected to the turntable 2 and drives the turntable 2 to rotate circumferentially, thereby causing the fixed seats 21 to pass sequentially through the cardboard box feeding station, the battery boxing station, and the discharge station. The fixed seats 21 have grooves for accommodating cardboard boxes 5. Vacuum suction cups 22 and magnetic modules are located on the inner bottom wall of the grooves. The vacuum suction cups 22 are used to adhere to the bottom of the cardboard box 5, and the magnetic modules are used to magnetically attract the battery 6 inside the cardboard box 5. The cardboard box feeder is used to transport cardboard boxes 5 to the fixed seat 21 at the cardboard box feeding station, the battery feeder is used to transport batteries 6 to the fixed seat 21 at the battery packing station, and the unloading assembly 4 is used to remove the packed cardboard boxes 5 and batteries 6 from the fixed seat 21. The cardboard box feeder and battery feeder mentioned above are existing technologies (such as robotic arms) and will not be described in detail here.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, there are four fixed seats 21, which are evenly distributed on the outer peripheral wall of the turntable 2. With this arrangement, the fixed seats 21 can be moved to the next corresponding work station every time the turntable 2 rotates 90 degrees.

[0024] For example Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, there are two vacuum suction cups 22, which are symmetrically arranged on the inner bottom wall of the groove. The two vacuum suction cups 22 are connected to the external air source through air pipes, so that they can be better adsorbed on the bottom of the paper box 5 and prevent the paper box 5 from falling off.

[0025] The magnetic modules are permanent magnets or electromagnets, and are evenly distributed throughout the inner bottom wall of the groove. Since the batteries 6 are stacked in groups of four, covering the inner bottom wall of the groove with magnetic modules ensures that none of the batteries 6 will fall out. The inner bottom wall of the groove also has evenly distributed through holes to improve the penetrating power of the magnetic modules.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the unloading assembly 4 includes an unloading cylinder 41 connected to the frame 1 and an unloading push plate 42 connected to the output end of the unloading cylinder 41; the two side walls of the fixed seat 21 are open ends, the unloading push plate 42 is located on one side of the fixed seat 21 at the unloading station, and the unloading cylinder 41 is used to drive the unloading push plate 42 to be horizontally pushed into the groove, and push out the cardboard box 5 and battery 6 after they are packed in the groove.

[0027] A conveyor track 43 is provided on the side of the unloading station away from the unloading push plate 42. The conveyor track 43 is flush with the inner bottom wall of the fixed seat 21 on the unloading station. When the fixed seat 21 moves to the unloading station, the unloading cylinder 41 only needs to drive the unloading push plate 42 horizontally to push the boxed cardboard box 5 and battery 6 into the conveyor track 43.

[0028] The specific workflow of this utility model is as follows:

[0029] First, the drive unit 3 drives the turntable 2 to rotate circumferentially, causing the fixed base 21 to rotate to the cardboard box feeding station. The cardboard box feeding machine then feeds the folded cardboard box 5 into the fixed base 21 at the cardboard box feeding station, where the vacuum suction cup 22 adheres to the bottom of the cardboard box 5. Next, the fixed base 21 rotates to the battery boxing station, where the battery feeding machine pushes the stacked batteries 6 horizontally from one side into the cardboard box 5 on the fixed base 21. The magnetic suction module on the bottom wall of the groove magnetically attracts the batteries 6 inside the cardboard box 5, preventing them from falling out. Finally, the fixed base 21 rotates to the unloading station, the vacuum suction cup 22 releases its grip on the cardboard box 5, and the unloading cylinder 41 horizontally drives the unloading push plate 42, overcoming the magnetic force of the magnetic suction module, to move the boxed cardboard box 5 and batteries 6 out of the fixed base 21 and push them into the conveyor track 43. This battery boxing device can automatically box batteries, which is not only highly efficient but also saves time and labor.

[0030] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
