Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cylindrical battery production technology, and in particular to a battery separation and conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] In battery production, testing, and assembly processes, automated battery transport is a crucial step in ensuring production efficiency. Currently, most battery transport devices on the market use direct conveyor belt transport, but this method has several shortcomings in practical applications:

[0003] On the one hand, traditional conveying devices are difficult to separate batteries in an orderly manner. Batteries are prone to stacking, squeezing or uneven spacing during the conveying process, which makes it impossible for subsequent automated equipment (such as detection probes, gripping robotic arms, etc.) to be accurately aligned, affecting detection accuracy or assembly efficiency. In some cases, the batteries may even cause damage to the casing due to collisions, reducing the product qualification rate.

[0004] On the other hand, some conveying devices with separation functions have complex structures and rely on complex sensing and control systems or customized components, resulting in high manufacturing costs. At the same time, during the battery pushing and transfer process, the existing pushing structure often has a small contact area with the battery and insufficient buffering, which causes the battery to shift or its surface to be scratched during pushing, further affecting the conveying stability and battery quality. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a battery separation and conveying device. Through the separation channel formed by the limiting plate, the first vertical plate, and the second vertical plate, combined with the cooperation of the pushing device, the first tracked conveyor, and the second tracked conveyor, the battery can be separated and conveyed at a set interval, ensuring the regularity and consistency of battery conveying.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A battery separation and conveying device includes a housing, which is composed of a first upright plate, a second upright plate, a third upright plate, a fourth upright plate, and a base plate. A fifth upright plate is fixed to the end of the second upright plate, and a battery entry channel is formed between the fifth upright plate and the fourth upright plate. A battery exit channel is formed between the first upright plate and the third upright plate. A limiting plate is fixed to the top of the base plate, and separation channels are formed between the limiting plate and the first upright plate and the second upright plate on both sides. A first tracked conveyor is provided at the bottom of the battery entry channel, and a second tracked conveyor is provided at the bottom of the battery exit channel. The device also includes a pushing device for pushing the battery on the first tracked conveyor to the second tracked conveyor through the separation channels.

[0008] Furthermore, the pushing device includes a cylinder, a push plate is mounted on the output shaft of the cylinder, and a push rod that matches the position of the dividing channel is mounted on one side of the push plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the fourth upright plate is provided with a through hole that matches the push rod.

[0010] Furthermore, the end of the push rod is provided with a slot that matches the battery.

[0011] Furthermore, the limiting plate is located at the middle position between the first upright plate and the second upright plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the first and second upright plates are fixed to the top of the base plate, and the third, second, and fifth upright plates are fixedly connected in sequence, while the first and fourth upright plates are fixedly connected.

[0013] Furthermore, a rubber pad that mates with the partition channel is glued to the third upright plate.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This utility model uses the separation channel formed by the limiting plate, the first upright plate, and the second upright plate, combined with the cooperation of the pushing device, the first tracked conveyor, and the second tracked conveyor, to separate and transport batteries at a set interval, ensuring the regularity and consistency of battery transportation. This device achieves battery separation and transportation through a purely mechanical structure, eliminating the need for a sensor control system and reducing manufacturing and maintenance costs.

[0016] The slot at the end of the push rod of this invention increases the contact area with the battery, reducing local pressure during pushing. The rubber pad on the third upright plate can buffer the battery collision, preventing the battery from being damaged by squeezing or impact during transportation.

[0017] This invention achieves automatic battery transport through a first and a second tracked conveyor. The pushing device is driven by a cylinder to automatically move the batteries, reducing manual intervention and improving the continuity and efficiency of battery separation and transport.

[0024] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0027] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0028] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a battery separation and conveying device includes a housing, which is composed of a first upright plate 1, a second upright plate 2, a third upright plate 3, a fourth upright plate 4, and a base plate 12. A fifth upright plate 10 is fixed to the end of the second upright plate 2, and a battery entry channel 6 is formed between the fifth upright plate 10 and the fourth upright plate 4. A battery exit channel 7 is opened between the first upright plate 1 and the third upright plate 3. A limiting plate 9 is fixed to the top of the base plate 12 and is fixed to the base plate 12 by bolts. It can be disassembled and replaced. Separation channels 16 are formed between the limiting plate 9 and the first upright plate 1 and the second upright plate 2 on both sides. A first tracked conveyor 11 is provided at the bottom of the battery entry channel 6, and a second tracked conveyor 8 is provided at the bottom of the battery exit channel 7. The device also includes a pushing device 5, which is used to push the battery on the first tracked conveyor 11 through the separation channel 16 to the second tracked conveyor 8. The limiting plate 9 is located in the middle of the first upright plate 1 and the second upright plate 2.

[0029] In this embodiment, the length of the limiting plate 9 divided by the battery diameter is an integer. The width of the battery entry channel 6, the separation channel 16 and the battery exit channel 7 is slightly larger than the battery diameter. The pushing device 5 includes a cylinder 501. A push plate 502 is mounted on the output shaft of the cylinder 501. A push rod 503 matching the position of the separation channel 16 is mounted on one side of the push plate 502.

[0030] The fourth upright plate 4 has a through hole 14 that matches the push rod 503.

[0031] like Figure 1As shown, the cylindrical battery is conveyed on the first tracked conveyor 11 and then enters the housing through the battery entry channel 6. When the leftmost battery contacts the first upright plate 1, four batteries at the top of the first tracked conveyor 11 will be located inside the housing, and the two outer batteries of these four batteries will be aligned with the separating channels. Subsequently, the cylinder 501 operates, driving the push rod 503 to move towards the third upright plate 3 through the push plate 502, thereby allowing the two outer batteries to move to the top of the second tracked conveyor 8 through the two separating channels. At this time, the second tracked conveyor 8 operates, enabling the batteries at its top to be removed from the housing through the battery removal channel 7, and the distance between the two batteries is equal to the length of the distance limiting plate 9, thereby separating and conveying the batteries.

[0032] When the battery is pushed from the first tracked conveyor 11 to the second tracked conveyor 8, the push rod 503 will temporarily block the battery entry channel 6. Subsequently, the battery at the top of the first tracked conveyor 11 will not enter the housing. After the push rod 503 is reset, the top of the first tracked conveyor 11 will continue to enter the housing and push the battery that was previously left in the housing until the leftmost battery contacts the first vertical plate. Then, the above battery pushing operation is repeated to achieve the battery separation and conveying operation.

[0033] Among them, such as Figure 5 As shown, the end of the push rod 503 is provided with a slot 5031 that matches the battery. The push rod 503 contacts the cylindrical battery through the slot 5031, which can increase the contact area between the push rod and the battery to maintain the stability when the battery is pushed.

[0034] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first upright plate 1 and the second upright plate 2 are fixed to the top of the base plate 12. The third upright plate 3, the second upright plate 2 and the fifth upright plate 10 are fixedly connected in sequence. The first upright plate 1 and the fourth upright plate 4 are fixedly connected, so that the shell is a whole and the upright plates limit the position of the battery.

[0035] Among them, the third upright plate 3 is glued to a rubber pad 15 that matches the partition channel 16. The rubber pad 15 has good deformation ability, which can prevent the battery from having a large collision with the third upright plate 3 when it is pushed.

[0036] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent transformations or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
