Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to auxiliary equipment for battery processing, and more particularly to an automatic card-adding device for a card-attaching machine. Background Technology

[0002] Battery tagging is a common packaging method for battery products. It primarily uses tags (cardboard or plastic sheets with hook holes) to secure and display batteries, facilitating display and sales. Currently, the tagging process on production lines is manual, resulting in high workloads for employees and the risk of employees forgetting or adding the wrong tags, impacting production efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need to automate tagging and loading. In this process, proper tag placement and accurate tag picking by robotic arms are crucial aspects of achieving automated tagging and loading. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic card-adding device for a card-attaching machine.

[0004] The technical solution to achieve the purpose of this utility model is: an automatic card-adding device for a card-hanging machine, comprising a card-hanging storage box, a card-retrieving robot, and a card-hanging feeding trough. The card-retrieving robot is located between the card-hanging storage box and the card-hanging feeding trough. The card-hanging storage box is placed on a conveyor belt. The card-hanging storage box includes a storage box body that is open at the top and closed at the bottom. The storage box body has two opposing side plates. Each side plate has several baffles spaced parallel to each other along its length. The baffles are perpendicular to the bottom. The spacing between adjacent baffles on the same side plate is less than the width of the hanging card. The baffles on the two side plates... Each strip corresponds to a separate strip, with a partition installed between two opposing strips. The partition is perpendicular to the bottom, and adjacent partitions and the strips on both sides of the two partitions form a card-hanging space. The card-retrieving robot includes a robotic arm, with a clamping seat installed at the end of the robotic arm. A first clamping mechanism and a second clamping mechanism are installed on the clamping seat. The first clamping mechanism includes a liftable first clamping plate, and the second clamping mechanism includes a horizontally movable second clamping plate. The first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are arranged opposite each other, and the thickness of both the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate is less than the thickness of the strip.

[0005] Furthermore, a linear motion cylinder is vertically mounted on the clamping seat, and the first clamping plate is mounted on the linear motion cylinder.

[0006] Furthermore, a horizontal cylinder is horizontally mounted on the clamping seat, and the second clamping plate is vertically mounted on the free end of the piston rod of the horizontal cylinder. A clearance groove is formed on the clamping seat along the moving path of the second clamping plate. The second clamping plate has an upper end, on which a limiting slider is mounted. The limiting slider is parallel to the piston rod of the horizontal cylinder and slidably connected to the horizontal cylinder. This ensures the stability of the lateral movement of the second clamping plate.

[0007] The automatic card-adding device for the card-hanging machine implemented by this utility model has baffles and partitions set inside the storage box body. The adjacent partitions and baffles form a card-hanging accommodating space, which allows the robot arm to reach into the storage box body to remove the stacked cards in each card-hanging accommodating space one by one, realizing the automation of card-hanging material picking. The robot arm then puts the removed cards into the card-hanging feeding slot, realizing the automation of card-adding of the card-hanging machine and improving production efficiency.

[0011] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0012] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, an automatic card-adding device for a card-attaching machine includes a card-attaching storage box 10, a card-retrieving robot 20, and a card-attaching feeding trough 30. The card-retrieving robot 20 is located between the card-attaching storage box 10 and the card-attaching feeding trough 30. The card-attaching storage box 10 is placed on a conveyor belt 40. The card-attaching storage box 10 includes a storage box body 1 that is open at the top and closed at the bottom 11. The storage box body 1 has two opposing side plates 12. Each side plate 12 has several parallel baffles 2 arranged at intervals along its length. The baffles 2 are perpendicular to the bottom 11. The spacing between adjacent baffles 2 on the same side plate 12 is less than the width of the card 100. The baffles 2 on the two side plates 12 are arranged in parallel. A partition 3 is installed between two opposing baffles 2. The partition 3 is perpendicular to the bottom 11. The adjacent partitions 3 and the baffles 2 on both sides of the partition 3 form a card-hanging space. The card-retrieving robot 20 includes a robot arm 4. A clamping seat 5 is installed at the end of the robot arm 4. A first clamping mechanism 6 and a second clamping mechanism 7 are installed on the clamping seat 5. The first clamping mechanism 6 includes a liftable first clamping plate 61. The second clamping mechanism 7 includes a horizontally movable second clamping plate 71. The first clamping plate 61 and the second clamping plate 71 are arranged opposite each other. The thickness A of the first clamping plate and the thickness B of the second clamping plate are both less than the thickness C of the baffle.

[0013] Furthermore, a linear motion cylinder 62 is vertically mounted on the clamping seat 5, and the first clamping plate 61 is fixedly mounted on the linear motion cylinder 62; a horizontal cylinder 72 is horizontally mounted on the clamping seat 5, and the second clamping plate 71 is vertically mounted on the free end of the piston rod 721 of the horizontal cylinder 72; a clearance groove (not shown) is provided on the clamping seat 5 along the moving path of the second clamping plate 71; the second clamping plate 71 has an upper end 711, and a limiting slider 73 is mounted on the upper end 711; the limiting slider 73 is arranged parallel to the piston rod 721 of the horizontal cylinder 72 and is slidably connected to the horizontal cylinder 72.

[0014] In use, the hanging cards 100 are first manually placed one by one into the hanging card receiving space and stacked neatly. Then, the hanging card storage box 10 is transferred to the conveyor belt 40. When it is necessary to package the battery with hanging cards, the 3D camera in the robotic arm 20 takes pictures to identify the position, quantity, and direction of the hanging cards in the box. Then, the system controls the mechanical arm 4 to move above the hanging card receiving box 10 to grab the hanging cards 100 at the corresponding position. During the grabbing of the hanging cards 100, the second clamping plate 71 is first inserted into the gap between the adjacent retaining strips 2. Then, the first clamping plate 61 descends to the gap between the retaining strip 2 on the opposite side of the second clamping plate 71 and the hanging card 100. Then, the horizontal cylinder 72 is activated to adjust the distance between the first clamping plate 61 and the second clamping plate 71 so that the first clamping plate 61 and the second clamping plate 62 clamp the two sides of the hanging card 100. Then, the stacked hanging cards 100 in the hanging card receiving space are taken out and placed into the hanging card feeding slot 30, realizing the automation of hanging card picking and card adding.
