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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] like Figure 1-3As shown: An automatic material feeding and coding machine includes a main structure, which includes a transmission frame 3 and a coding mechanism and a feeding mechanism mounted on the transmission frame 3. A pull-wire conveyor belt 2 is provided on the transmission frame 3. Material is fed onto the pull-wire conveyor belt 2 by the feeding mechanism. The pull-wire conveyor belt 2 transports the material to the coding mechanism, where it is coding. After coding, the material is transported to a receiving point by the pull-wire conveyor belt 2. The coding mechanism includes a coding machine head 1 and a coding machine mounting frame 7. The coding machine head 1 is fixedly mounted on the coding machine mounting frame 7. The coding machine mounting frame 7 is horizontally... The material is straddled on the conveyor frame 3 and transported to the inkjet printing mechanism for inkjet printing via the pull-wire conveyor belt 2. The material dispensing mechanism includes a material placement funnel 6 and a funnel mounting frame 12. The lower end of the material placement funnel 6 is provided with a dispensing trough 11. The material placement funnel 6 is provided with a dispensing roller 5, which is located at the dispensing trough 11. The dispensing roller 5 is provided with several grooves with a width not less than the diameter of the material. The roller drive motor 10 drives the dispensing roller 5 to rotate, so that the material in the material placement funnel 6 is gradually discharged onto the pull-wire conveyor belt 2.

[0021] It should be noted that a conveyor belt drive device is provided on one side of the conveyor frame 3. The conveyor belt drive device is connected to the pull-wire conveyor belt 2 for driving the pull-wire conveyor belt 2 to transport the material on the pull-wire conveyor belt 2 to the lower station.

[0022] It should be noted that the inkjet printer mounting frame 7 includes two columns, with a mounting plate 8 between the two columns. The inkjet printer head 1 is mounted on the mounting plate 8. The lower end of each column is fixedly connected to the transmission frame 3. Both ends of the mounting plate 8 are fixedly connected to the two columns. The inkjet printer head 1 is fixedly mounted on the inkjet printer mounting frame 7, located above the pull-wire conveyor belt 2, and performs inkjet printing on the materials conveyed on the pull-wire conveyor belt 2.

[0023] It should be noted that the width of the discharge trough 11 is not greater than the diameter of the material distributing roller 5. A roller drive motor 10 is provided on the rear side of the material placement funnel 6. The roller drive motor 10 is driven and connected to the material distributing roller 5. The roller drive motor 10 is a stepping motor. The material distributing roller 5 is driven to rotate by the roller drive motor 10. During the rotation of the material distributing roller 5, the material is brought to the discharge trough 11 and falls from the discharge trough 11 onto the pull-line conveyor belt 2.

[0024] It should be noted that the funnel mounting frame 12 includes two upright columns, and each upright column is provided with a crossbar fixedly connected to it. There are two crossbars, and the two crossbars are vertically fixedly connected to the two upright columns. The material placement funnel 6 is fixedly connected to the crossbars, and the lower end of the upright column is fixedly connected to the conveyor frame 3.

[0026] Working principle: When inkjet printing is performed on the battery cells, the material is manually placed into the material placement funnel 6. The inkjet printer is then adjusted, the power switch is turned on, and the roller drive motor 10 drives the material distribution roller 5 to rotate. During the rotation of the material distribution roller 5, the material in the material placement funnel 6 is fed in batches onto the pull-line conveyor belt 2 and transported to the inkjet printing mechanism. The inkjet printer head 1 prints the material on the pull-line conveyor belt 2. After the printing is completed, the roller drive motor 10 drives the material distribution roller 5 to rotate, feeding the next material onto the pull-line conveyor belt 2. At the same time, while the roller drive motor 10 drives the material distribution roller 5 to rotate, the conveyor belt drive device drives the pull-line conveyor belt 2 to transport the material to be printed to the inkjet printing mechanism for printing. At the same time, the printed material is transported to the receiving area.
