Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lithium batteries, and more particularly to a feeding device for lithium battery production. Background Technology

[0002] In the lithium battery production process, the feeding stage is a crucial step in ensuring product quality and production efficiency. Traditional lithium battery feeding methods rely heavily on manual operation, requiring workers to ensure that the lithium batteries are fed in a specific orientation. This operating mode is not only inefficient and difficult to meet the needs of large-scale automated production, but it is also prone to errors in feeding direction due to human factors, causing production interruptions or the production of defective products. In addition, manual operation makes it difficult to accurately control the force applied, which can easily cause scratches, compression deformation, and other damage to the battery surface when placing the lithium batteries, affecting battery performance and the yield of finished products. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the disadvantage of the existing technology that requires manual feeding in a specific direction, the technical problem to be solved is: to provide a feeding device for lithium battery production that can feed in a fixed direction.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is: a feeding device for lithium battery production, including a conveying assembly. A feeding wheel is fixedly connected to the right side of the conveying assembly. The feeding wheel guides the lithium battery from the conveying assembly to the feeding hopper. A mounting frame is fixedly connected to the right side of the conveying assembly, and a feeding hopper is fixedly connected to the mounting frame. The feeding hopper is wedge-shaped, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The width of the feeding hopper is slightly wider than the length of the lithium battery. A fixed platform is fixedly connected to the lower rear side of the feeding hopper. A motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed platform. A gear is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor. Two sets of sliding grooves are symmetrically opened on the left and right sides of the lower part of the feeding hopper. Each set of sliding grooves is divided into an upper sliding groove and a lower sliding groove. A material blocking plate A is slidably connected inside the groove, and a material blocking plate B is slidably connected inside the two upper grooves. The distance between the material blocking plate A and the material blocking plate B is slightly larger than the cross-sectional diameter of the battery. A feeding bracket A is provided between the left material blocking plate A and the material blocking plate B, and a feeding bracket B is provided between the right material blocking plate A and the material blocking plate B. Both feeding brackets A and B have racks on their rear sides, and both racks mesh with gears. When the gears rotate, they mesh with the racks on the rear sides of the feeding brackets A and B, causing the material blocking plates A and B to slide synchronously in opposite directions along the grooves, thereby achieving intermittent feeding control of the battery. The pushing assembly used to push out the battery in the non-feeding direction is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed platform.

[0005] Furthermore, the feeding assembly includes a cylinder. The feeding hopper has a through hole located between the material blocking plate A and the material blocking plate B. The cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed platform. The cylinder has a controller inside. A push plate is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the cylinder, and the push plate is slidably connected to the through hole. A vision sensor is fixedly connected to the push plate. The vision sensor is electrically connected to the cylinder through the controller. When the vision sensor detects that the battery orientation does not meet the feeding requirements, the cylinder drives the push plate to push the battery forward through the through hole on the feeding hopper, causing it to fall into the collection box for recycling.

[0006] Furthermore, it also includes an observation window, which is provided on the front side of the feed hopper for real-time observation of the battery feeding situation in the feed hopper.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a protective shell. The upper and lower sides of the fixed platform are fixedly connected with the protective shell. The cylinder and motor are located inside the protective shell. The protective shell is used to prevent dust, debris and other objects from entering the motor and cylinder, and at the same time reduce the noise when the equipment is running.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes buffer pads. Buffer pads are provided on both the left and right sides of the resistive plate A to reduce the impact force when the battery comes into contact with the resistive plate A and prevent damage to the battery surface.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a collection box, which is fixedly connected to the front bottom of the feed hopper for collecting batteries that are pushed out by the pusher assembly in an incorrect direction.

[0010] The beneficial effects are: through motor-driven gear rack transmission and intermittent feeding control, a highly efficient and stable feeding process is achieved. The coordinated work of vision sensors and cylinder push plates ensures precise control of battery orientation, effectively reducing production interruptions and defect rates caused by orientation errors, further guaranteeing stable equipment operation and battery quality, and comprehensively improving the efficiency and reliability of lithium battery feeding.

Detailed Implementation

[0015] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] Example: A feeding device for lithium battery production, such as... Figure 1-3As shown, the assembly includes a conveying component 1, a mounting frame 2, a feeding roller 3, a feeding hopper 4, a fixed platform 5, a motor 6, a gear 7, a feeding bracket A8, a feeding bracket B9, a material blocking plate A10, a material resistance plate B, and a pushing component. The feeding roller 3 is fixedly connected to the right side of the conveying component 1. The feeding roller 3 guides the lithium battery from the conveying component 1 to the feeding hopper 4, and its surface has anti-slip textures to ensure smooth battery transport. The mounting frame 2 is fixedly connected to the right side of the conveying component 1, and the feeding hopper 4 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 2. The feeding hopper 4 is wedge-shaped, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, with its width slightly wider than the length of the lithium battery. The fixed platform 5 is fixedly connected to the lower rear side of the feeding hopper 4, and the motor 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed platform 5. The motor 6... The gear 7 is fixedly connected to the output shaft. The lower part of the feed hopper 4 is symmetrically provided with two sets of sliding grooves. Each set of sliding grooves is divided into an upper sliding groove and a lower sliding groove. The material blocking plate A10 is slidably connected in the two lower sliding grooves, and the material blocking plate B11 is slidably connected in the two upper sliding grooves. The distance between the material blocking plate A10 and the material blocking plate B11 is slightly larger than the cross-sectional diameter of the battery. The feed bracket A8 is provided between the material blocking plate A10 and the material blocking plate B11 on the left side, and the feed bracket B9 is provided between the material blocking plate A10 and the material blocking plate B11 on the right side. The rear side of the feed bracket A8 and the feed bracket B9 are provided with racks, and both racks mesh with the gear 7. When the gear 7 rotates, the pusher assembly used to push out the battery in the non-feeding direction is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed platform 5. The feeding assembly includes a cylinder 12, a pusher plate 13, and a vision sensor 14. A through hole is provided on the feed hopper 4 between the blocking plate A10 and the blocking plate B11. The cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed platform 5. A controller is provided inside the cylinder 12. The pusher plate 13 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the cylinder 12, and the vision sensor 14 is fixedly connected to the pusher plate 13. The vision sensor 14 is electrically connected to the cylinder 12 through the controller. A buffer pad 17 is also included, with buffer pads 17 provided on both the left and right blocking plates A10. A collection box 18 is also included, fixedly connected to the front bottom of the feed hopper 4.

[0017] The lithium battery is placed in the feed hopper 4 and falls to the bottom of the feed hopper 4 under gravity. At this time, the motor 6 drives the gear 7 to rotate. The gear 7 meshes with the rack on the rear side of the feed brackets A8 and B. The rack drive causes the blocking plates A10 and B11 to slide synchronously in opposite directions along the slide groove. When the blocking plates A10 and B11 are open, the battery falls between them. The buffer pads 17 on the blocking plates A10 on both sides can reduce the impact force when the battery contacts and prevent damage to the battery surface. When closed, it prevents subsequent batteries from falling, realizing intermittent feeding control. When the battery is between the blocking plates A10 and B11, the vision sensor 14 detects the battery orientation. If the battery orientation does not meet the feeding requirements, the vision sensor 14 transmits a signal to the cylinder 12 controller. The cylinder 12 drives the push plate 13 to push the battery forward through the through hole on the feed hopper 4, so that it falls into the collection box 18. If the battery orientation meets the feeding requirements, the battery continues to fall onto the conveying assembly 1 and is sent to the next process.

[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes an observation window 15, which is provided on the front side of the feed hopper 4. It also includes a protective shell 16, which is fixedly connected to both the upper and lower sides of the fixed platform 5. The cylinder 12 and the motor 6 are both located inside the protective shell 16.

[0019] The observation window 15 on the front side of the feed hopper 4 allows operators to observe the feeding status of the internal batteries in real time. This not only enables timely detection and handling of abnormalities such as material jams, but also assists in adjusting the parameters of various components during equipment debugging. The protective shells 16 on the upper and lower sides of the fixed platform 5 provide double protection for the motor 6 and the cylinder 12. This not only prevents dust and debris from entering the equipment and extending its service life, but also effectively reduces the noise generated during equipment operation and improves the working environment.
