Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery feeding technology, specifically to a circular battery feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of lithium battery technology, battery packs composed of multiple cylindrical lithium batteries have been widely used in new energy vehicles and other fields. Therefore, the safety and stability of lithium batteries are key areas that manufacturers need to focus on. During module assembly, individual cylindrical batteries need to undergo tests for parameters such as voltage, current, and internal resistance to identify and remove any substandard cells. Current testing methods typically involve placing multiple cylindrical batteries at once and then transporting them to testing equipment. This process requires separating stacked or closely spaced cylindrical batteries to allow for individual testing of each cell.

[0003] Existing technologies, such as the utility model patent with publication number CN220722582U, describe a cylindrical battery feeding mechanism, including a frame, a feeding assembly, and a loading assembly. The feeding assembly includes a feeding bracket, a feeding channel, a distributing wheel, and a feeding motor. The feeding motor and the distributing wheel are respectively located on both sides of the feeding bracket and are coaxially arranged. The edge of the distributing wheel has multiple receiving slots for a single cylindrical battery to enter at a time. The feeding motor drives the distributing wheel to rotate, so as to sequentially and individually feed multiple cylindrical batteries from the end of the feeding channel into the loading assembly. This utility model, by having multiple receiving slots for a single cylindrical battery to enter at a time on the edge of the distributing wheel, ensures that when the feeding motor drives the distributing wheel to rotate, only one receiving slot opening is aligned with the feeding channel at any given time, and only one single cylindrical battery can be received at a time. This achieves the effect of separating multiple cylindrical batteries. The overall structure is relatively simple, occupies a small volume, and correspondingly reduces design and manufacturing costs.

[0004] The device separates round batteries using a separating wheel, but the size of the separating wheel's receiving groove is fixed. It has a high separation effect on round batteries of a single diameter, but its applicability to round batteries of different diameters is low.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new technical solution to overcome the above-mentioned defects. Utility Model Content

[0009] Furthermore, a rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the mounting cylinder, a limiting block is circumferentially mounted on the rotating shaft, and the conical block is slidably mounted on the limiting block.

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.

The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this utility model discloses a circular battery feeding device, comprising: a feeding frame 1, and a feeding mechanism 7 for intermittently feeding circular batteries; a buffer box 5 is connected to the top of the feeding frame 1, and the top of the buffer box 5 is provided with a feeding port 4. A fixed plate 75 is fixedly installed inside the buffer box 5, and an elastic band 74 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixed plate 75. The other end of the elastic band 74 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the buffer box 5, and the elastic band 74 is tilted; a movable plate 76 is also slidably installed in the buffer box 5. The movable plate 76 is divided into a vertical part and a horizontal part. The horizontal part of the movable plate 76 slides and passes through the inner wall of the buffer box 5, and the movable plate 76 is fixed by bolts; after the battery is added to the feeding port 4, the circular battery is buffered by the elastic band 74, and the circular battery enters the feeding frame 1 through the gap between the fixed plate 75 and the movable plate 76.

[0024] The position of the movable plate 76 is adjusted according to the diameter of the battery so that the distance between the vertical part of the movable plate 76 and the fixed plate 75 is the same as the diameter of the battery, and the horizontal part of the movable plate 76 is fixed by bolts.

[0025] The bottom side of the feeding frame 1 is provided with a discharge port, which is aligned with the top of the conveyor belt 6. The conveyor belt 6 is located at the bottom of the feeding frame 1, and the round batteries are transported out of the feeding frame 1 by the conveyor belt 6. The discharge port is connected to the feeding bridge 2, and the other end of the feeding bridge 2 is fixedly connected to the feeding rack 3. The round batteries slide down the feeding bridge 2 onto the feeding rack 3 and fall vertically onto the battery holder. The battery holder is moved to the position of the detection device by the conveying device.

[0026] It should be added that an inclined guide plate is fixedly installed in the inner wall of the feeding frame 1. The lower end of the guide plate slides in contact with the top of the conveyor belt 6, while the upper end of the guide plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the feeding frame 1, and the guide plate is located inside the feeding frame 1 at the end away from the feeding bridge 2.

[0027] The feeding mechanism 7 includes: a motor 71, which is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the feeding frame 1. The output shaft of the motor 71 is fixedly connected to the mounting cylinder 72, and both ends of the mounting cylinder 72 are sealed. The output shaft of the motor 71 is aligned with the central axis of the mounting cylinder 72. A receiving plate 782 slides and passes through the side of the mounting cylinder 72. A buffer block 783 is also installed on the side of the mounting cylinder 72. The buffer block 783 is preferably a sponge block. The buffer block 783 buffers the round battery to avoid safety problems caused by the large impact intensity when the round battery hits the mounting cylinder 72. The receiving plate 782 is composed of an arc-shaped part and a flat part. The receiving plate 782 catches the round battery. During the rotation of the receiving plate 782, the round battery falls onto the guide plate 77 and rolls along the guide plate 77 onto the conveyor belt 6.

[0028] It should be added that a rack is fixedly installed on the receiving plate 782, the rack meshes with a gear, the gear is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 78, the rotating shaft 78 is rotatably installed on the mounting cylinder 72, and the rotating shaft 78 is located on the central axis of the mounting cylinder 72. The position of the receiving plate 782 is adjusted by rotating the rotating shaft 78.

[0029] Furthermore, anti-slip sleeves 781 are installed at the positions of the rotating shaft 78 on the mounting cylinder 72. The anti-slip sleeves 781 are made of rubber material. The anti-slip sleeves 781 prevent the rotating shaft 78 from rotating randomly, ensuring the stability of the rotating shaft 78, and thus ensuring the stability of the receiving plate 782.

[0030] One end of the mounting cylinder 72 has a through groove, and a connecting plate 73 is fixedly connected to a receiving plate 782, passing through the through groove. A mounting rod 731 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 73, and the mounting rod 731 is parallel to the rotating shaft 78. A movable rod 732 is rotatably mounted on the mounting rod 731. The movable rod 732 slides and passes through a movable block 733, keeping the movable rod 732 in a vertical state. The movable block 733 is slidably mounted on a limiting rod 734, and the limiting rod 734 is fixedly mounted. On the outer wall of the feeding frame 1, there is a limiting groove. The limiting groove is parallel to the limiting rod 734 and is located at the same horizontal height. A partition plate 735 is fixedly installed on the moving block 733. The partition plate 735 is located inside the feeding frame 1, and the top of the partition plate 735 slides in contact with the bottom of the fixed plate 75. A ramp is provided on one end of the partition plate 735. When the partition plate 735 blocks the round battery, the ramp on the partition plate 735 pushes the round battery upward, which facilitates battery sorting.

[0031] The output shaft of motor 71 drives the mounting cylinder 72 to rotate, which in turn drives the receiving plate 782 to rotate. The receiving plate 782 drives the connecting plate 73 to rotate, which in turn drives the mounting rod 731 to rotate. The mounting rod 731 drives the moving rod 732 to move, which in turn drives the moving block 733 to reciprocate on the limit rod 734. The moving block 733 drives the partition plate 735 to reciprocate, allowing the partition plate 735 to intermittently block and open the gap between the fixed plate 75 and the moving plate 76, separating the round batteries one by one. Furthermore, when the receiving plate 782 drives the connecting plate 73 to move, the position of the mounting rod 731 can be adjusted to increase the range of motion of the partition plate 735, making the device suitable for round batteries of different diameters.

[0032] Furthermore, the distance between the mounting rod 731 and the central axis of the rotating shaft 78 is equal to half the diameter of the circular battery. When the moving block 733 moves to both ends of its moving range, the moving block 733 drives the partition plate 735 to completely seal or open the gap between the fixed plate 75 and the moving plate 76.

[0033] It should be noted that the distance between the moving rod 732 and the feeding frame 1 is greater than the distance between the rotating end of the rotating shaft 78 and the feeding frame 1, so as to avoid the rotating shaft 78 obstructing the moving rod 731 during the process of the mounting rod 731 driving the moving rod 732.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] By starting the motor 71, the output shaft of the motor 71 drives the mounting cylinder 72 to rotate. During the rotation of the mounting cylinder 72, the mounting cylinder 72 drives the receiving plate 782 and the connecting plate 73 to rotate. The receiving plate 782 can catch the round batteries and pour them onto the guide plate, so that the round batteries can fall onto the conveyor belt 6 along the guide plate. Meanwhile, the connecting plate 73 drives the mounting rod 731 to rotate, and the mounting rod 731 drives the moving rod 732 to move. The moving rod 732 drives the moving block 733 to slide on the limit rod 734, so that the moving block 733 drives the separator plate 735 to move back and forth, thus separating the round batteries. The length of the receiving plate 782 extending out of the mounting cylinder 72 and the range of movement of the separator plate 735 can be adjusted by rotating the rotating shaft 78, so that the device can be used to feed round gears of different diameters.
