Therefore, during battery production, it is necessary to apply petroleum jelly to the battery terminals for protection against oxidation. Currently, existing technologies typically involve manually applying petroleum jelly to the battery terminals. This method not only reduces production efficiency but also increases the labor intensity for workers.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] Please see Figure 1-3As shown, this utility model is a petroleum jelly application device for battery production, including a pair of horizontally arranged beams 1; a conventional power conveyor belt 2 is horizontally installed between the two beams 1; a positioning mechanism 3 for positioning the batteries on the power conveyor belt 2 and a lifting mechanism 4 are installed above the power conveyor belt 2; a carrying mechanism 5 is installed on the lifting mechanism 4; the carrying mechanism 5 is located between the power conveyor belt 2 and the lifting mechanism 4; and multiple application mechanisms 6 are vertically installed side by side on the carrying mechanism 5. In use, multiple sets of batteries are placed sequentially on the power conveyor belt 2, which intermittently transports them. The positioning mechanism 3 positions the nearest set of batteries, and then the lifting mechanism 4 drives the carrying mechanism 5 downward, causing the coating mechanism 6 to come into contact with the battery terminals positioned by the positioning mechanism 3. The coating mechanism 6 then applies Vaseline to the battery terminals. After the Vaseline application is completed, the positioning mechanism 3 and the coating mechanism 6 reset sequentially, and the power conveyor belt 2 transports the next set of batteries to the positioning mechanism 3, repeating the above operation. This process effectively improves the efficiency of Vaseline application to the battery terminals and reduces the labor intensity of workers.

[0027] Among them, such as Figure 3-4 As shown, the positioning mechanism 3 includes a pair of support plates 301 vertically bolted to two crossbeams 1; first cylinders 302 are horizontally bolted to the opposite outer surfaces of the two support plates 301; the output ends of the two first cylinders 302 slide through the two support plates 301 and are vertically bolted to limit plates 303; a clamping and positioning space for the battery on the power conveyor belt 2 is formed between the two limit plates 303; mounting plates 304 are horizontally bolted to the opposite outer surfaces of the two support plates 301; second cylinders 305 are vertically bolted to the upper surfaces of the two mounting plates 304; the two second cylinders 305 are both located on the side of the support plate 301 near the outlet end of the power conveyor belt 2; the output ends of the two second cylinders 305 slide through the two mounting plates 304 and are connected by a stop bar 306; the two ends of the stop bar 306 are bolted to the output ends of the two second cylinders 305 respectively. In use, the second cylinder 305 drives the baffle 306 downward, aligning the position of the baffle 306 with the center of the battery. The battery is then transported by the power conveyor belt 2. When a group of batteries comes into contact with one side of the baffle 306, the power conveyor belt 2 stops operating. At the same time, the first cylinder 302 drives the limiting plate 303 to approach the battery, causing the limiting plate 303 to come into contact with the battery, thereby achieving battery positioning and effectively ensuring the accuracy of battery positioning, thus ensuring the precision of Vaseline application to the battery terminals.

[0028] Among them, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5-6As shown, the lifting mechanism 4 includes a top plate 401 with both ends bolted to the upper edges of two support plates 301; a pair of third cylinders 402 are vertically bolted side by side to the upper surface of the top plate 401; the output ends of the two third cylinders 402 both penetrate the top plate 401, and the output ends of the two third cylinders 402 are connected by a lifting plate 403 with a "Π" shaped structure; the output ends of the two third cylinders 402 are bolted to the lifting plate 403. In use, when the battery on the power conveyor belt 2 is positioned by the positioning mechanism 3, the third cylinders 402 drive the lifting plate 403 to move downward, causing the coating mechanism 6 to come into contact with the battery terminals positioned by the positioning mechanism 3, thereby ensuring the efficiency of Vaseline coating on the battery terminals.

[0029] Example 2:

[0030] Based on Example 1, as follows Figure 5-8As shown, the bearing mechanism 5 includes a pair of side support rods 501 horizontally welded to both ends of the lifting plate 403; the length direction of both side support rods 501 is parallel to the conveying direction of the power conveyor belt 301; the inner surfaces of both side support rods 501 are provided with grooves 505 along the length direction; the two grooves 505 pass through the two end faces of the side support rods 501 respectively; a pair of positioning rods 502 are arranged horizontally side by side between the side support rods 501; both ends of the two positioning rods 502 are bolted to sliders 506, and the two sliders 506 on any one positioning rod 502 are slidably connected to the two grooves 505 respectively; a protrusion 507 is integrally formed on one side of any one slider 506. A first stud 508, perpendicular to the side support rod 501, is horizontally inserted through the protrusion 507, and the first stud 508 is threadedly engaged with the protrusion 507; one end of the first stud 508 is loosely inserted into the slide groove 505 and abuts against one surface of the slide groove 505; multiple bearing sleeves 503 are slidably sleeved side by side on both positioning rods 502; a second stud 509 is vertically inserted into the upper surface of the bearing sleeve 503; the second stud 509 is threadedly engaged with the bearing sleeve 503; the lower end of the second stud 509 abuts against the upper surface of the corresponding positioning rod 502; a connecting plate 504 for mounting the coating mechanism 6 is horizontally welded to one side of any bearing sleeve 503. In use, the relative distance between the two positioning rods 502 is adjusted by adjusting the position of the slider 506 within the groove 505. After the position of the positioning rods 502 is adjusted, the first stud 508 is rotated to make one end of the first stud 508 tightly abut against one surface of the groove 505, thereby locking the position of the positioning rods 502. Then, the position of the bearing sleeve 503 within the positioning rods 502 is adjusted by moving the bearing sleeve 503. After the position of the positioning rods 502 is adjusted, the lower end of the second stud 509 is rotated to make it tightly abut against the upper surface of the positioning rods 502, thereby adjusting the position of the coating mechanism 6. This allows the position of the coating mechanism 6 to correspond to batteries of different sizes, thus enabling the application of Vaseline to the terminals of batteries of different sizes.

[0031] Example 3:

[0032] Based on Example 2, as follows Figure 5 and Figure 7-8As shown, the application mechanism 6 includes an injection cylinder 601 vertically bolted to the lower surface of the connecting plate 504 and a fourth cylinder 602 vertically bolted to the upper surface of the connecting plate 504; an input pipe 603 for conveying petroleum jelly is connected to the upper side wall of the injection cylinder 601; the inlet end of the input pipe 603 is connected to a conventional petroleum jelly storage device in the art; the petroleum jelly storage device includes a petroleum jelly storage tank and a metering pump for meteringly conveying petroleum jelly into the input pipe 603; a vertically arranged application port 604 is integrally formed at the lower end of the injection cylinder 601, and the inner diameter of the application port 604 is larger than the inner diameter of the injection cylinder 601; the application port 604... The upper end of cylinder 604 has a tapered structure; the output end of cylinder 602 slides through the connecting plate 504 and is vertically bolted to a guide rod 605; the guide rod 605 is clearance-fitted into the syringe 601; the lower end of the guide rod 605 is vertically bolted to a valve disc 606; the upper part of the valve disc 606 has a tapered structure; the valve disc 606 is located inside the applicator 604; the diameter of the valve disc 606 is between the inner diameter of the applicator 604 and the inner diameter of the syringe 601; the inner wall of the applicator 604 is integrally formed with a coaxially arranged convex ring 607; the convex ring 607 is located below the valve disc 606; the inner diameter of the convex ring 607 is smaller than the diameter of the battery terminal. In use, after the battery on the power conveyor belt 2 is positioned by the positioning mechanism 3, the application port 604 is directly above the battery terminals. The third cylinder 402 drives the lifting plate 403 to move downward, causing the battery terminals to be interposed in the application port 604 with a gap. There is also a certain gap between the battery terminals and the convex ring 607. Then, the fourth cylinder 602 drives the valve disc 606 to move downward via the guide rod 605, causing the injection cylinder 601 to connect with the application port 604, forming a Vaseline delivery channel. Then, Vaseline is quantitatively delivered to the injection cylinder 601 through the input pipe 603, causing the Vaseline in the injection cylinder 601 to be... The petroleum jelly flows sequentially through the gap between the syringe 601 and the guide rod 605, the gap between the application port 604 and the valve disc 606, and the inner hole of the convex ring 607 to the battery terminals. After the petroleum jelly is applied to the battery terminals, the fourth cylinder 602 drives the valve disc 606 upward via the guide rod 605, causing the valve disc 606 to come into contact with the upper part of the application port 604, thereby cutting off the petroleum jelly delivery channel between the syringe 601 and the application port 604. The above operation is repeated to achieve petroleum jelly application to multiple sets of battery terminals, effectively ensuring the efficiency of petroleum jelly application to the battery terminals.
