Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of battery processing technology, specifically relating to a flipping device for a battery casing steel cup. Background Technology
[0002] In battery production, the outer casing has a cup-like structure. After initial stamping, it is in a disordered state, with the front and back cups facing upwards. During conveyor belt transport, all the cups need to be adjusted to face upwards. Therefore, the cups need to be flipped to allow for the next stamping step. Traditional sorting operations usually rely on the steps of the stepped belt to change the angle, thereby altering the product's center of gravity to distinguish between the front and back cups. However, over time, the steps of the stepped belt wear down easily, causing the center of gravity to constantly shift, resulting in a sharp decline in the accuracy of flipping and increasing the risk of product damage. Another method is to use air blowing for flipping, but this consumes a large amount of compressed air during long-term production, increasing processing costs. Furthermore, the air blowing equipment has a complex structure and high energy consumption, leading to excessively high maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

The cup-flipping mechanism 3 is positioned above the first conveyor belt 1 and is used to flip the reversed steel cups on the first conveyor belt 1 and transport them to the second conveyor belt 2. Both the first and second conveyor belts are conventional conveyor belts. The second conveyor belt 2 is located to the side of the cup-flipping mechanism 3 and is fitted to it. The surface of the second conveyor belt 2 and the surface of the cup-flipping mechanism 3 are at the same horizontal plane. A first guide plate 20 is provided on the cup-flipping mechanism 3. The first guide plate 20 is inclined towards the right side of the cup-flipping mechanism 3 and extends to the surface of the second conveyor belt 2. The end of the first guide plate 20 is connected to the upper edge of the support frame of the cup-flipping mechanism 3. The steel cups are connected to the first guide plate 2 and the second conveyor belt 2. A second guide plate 30 is positioned to the left of the first guide plate 20 on the second conveyor belt 2. The end of the second guide plate 30 is inclined away from the first guide plate 20. The second guide plate 30 is connected to the lower edge of the support frame of the cup-flipping mechanism 3. After being flipped by the cup-flipping mechanism 3, the steel cups slide along the first guide plate 20 to the surface of the second conveyor belt 2. The second conveyor belt 2 transports steel cups from left to right, in the same direction as the first conveyor belt 1. The front-facing steel cups are guided by the second guide plate 30 to the middle area of the second conveyor belt 2, preventing the steel cups from accumulating at the edges of the second conveyor belt 2. The distance between the bottom of the cup-flipping mechanism 3 and the first conveyor belt 1 is 7cm, and this distance can be adjusted adaptively according to the actual height of the steel cups. A set of support members 10 is provided on both sides of the support beam 4. The lower part of the support member 10 is connected to the side of the first conveyor belt 1, and the upper part of the support member 10 is connected to the support beam 4. The support member 10 is fixed to the support frame of the cup-turning mechanism 3 by screws. The support member 10 is used to support and fix the cup-turning mechanism 3.
[0028] Example 2:
[0029] This embodiment, based on the above embodiment, further defines the cup-flipping mechanism 3, such as... Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the cup-turning mechanism 3 includes a third conveyor belt and a magnetic assembly. The structure of the third conveyor belt is similar to that of the first or second conveyor belt 2, but smaller in size. The third conveyor belt includes a belt body 5 and a support frame. The support frame includes a support beam 4 and two rotating rollers. The two rotating rollers are parallel and spaced apart between the two support beams 4, and are located at both ends of the two support beams 4. The belt body 5 is sleeved on the two rotating rollers. A drive motor 6 is provided on the side of the support beam 4 away from the second conveyor belt 2. The drive motor 6 is used to drive the rotating rollers to rotate and drive the belt body 5 to move. The first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 2 run counterclockwise, and their surfaces transport steel cups from right to left. The belt body 5 of the third conveyor belt runs clockwise, and its surface runs from left to right. The magnetic assembly is located in the belt body 5 and is connected to the left and right sides. The support beam 4 is connected, and the magnetic component includes a stainless steel plate 7 and several magnetic strips 8. The left and right sides of the stainless steel plate 7 are arc-shaped, which facilitates the bending transition of the magnetic strips 8. The magnetic strips 8 are glued to the stainless steel plate 7. The magnetic strips 8 are parallel and spaced on the stainless steel plate 7. The magnetic strips 8 are pasted from the top left edge of the stainless steel plate 7 in a counterclockwise direction to the bottom right edge. The magnetic strips 8 are fully laid on the bottom of the stainless steel plate 7, and only the left edge area is laid on the top of the stainless steel plate 7. When the steel cup is attracted and rotated to the top of the belt body 5, it is already in the front position. It must then slide to the surface of the second conveyor belt 2 via the first guide plate 20. Therefore, the magnetic strips 8 are not fully laid on the top surface of the stainless steel plate 7 to avoid continuous attraction of the steel cup, which would make it difficult to transfer to the second conveyor belt 2.
[0030] On both sides of the stainless steel plate 7, there is a set of elastic adjustment members 9. The two elastic adjustment members 9 are spaced apart on the same side of the stainless steel plate 7. The side of the support beam 4 is provided with mounting holes 42, and the elastic adjustment members 9 are placed in the mounting holes 42. Adjusting bolts 41 are provided on the support beam 4 at the positions of the mounting holes 42. The adjusting bolts 41 pass through the support beam 4 from above and abut against the elastic adjustment members 9. The adjusting bolts 41 are used to adjust the distance between the bottom of the stainless steel plate 7 and the belt body 5. The elastic adjustment member 9 includes a connecting plate 91, a spring 93 and a pin 92. The spring 93 is placed between the pin 92 and the connecting plate 91. The side of the connecting plate 91 is connected to the stainless steel plate 7. The elastic adjustment members 9 are provided on the support beam 4 at the positions of ... The adjusting bolts 41 are provided on the support beam 4 at the positions of the mounting holes 42. The adjusting bolts 41 are provided on the support beam 4 at the positions of the mounting holes 42. The adjusting bolts 41 are provided on the support beam 4 at the positions of the mounting holes 42. The adjusting bolts 4 A socket is provided below hole 42, and pin 92 is inserted into the socket. A groove 911 is provided on the upper surface of connecting plate 91, and groove 911 is engaged with the bottom of adjusting bolt 41. Stainless steel plate 7 is supported by four springs 93. Pins 92 below springs 93 are inserted into the sockets of support beam 4 to keep stainless steel plate 7 stable between support beams 4. At the same time, connecting plate 91 is located in mounting hole 42, which can limit the position of connecting plate 91. The bottom of adjusting bolt 41 can be inserted into groove 911 on the upper surface of connecting plate 91. Rotating the four adjusting bolts 41 can adjust the distance between magnetic strip 8 at the bottom of stainless steel plate 7 and steel cup below belt body 5, thereby attracting steel cups of different heights. Other parts of this embodiment are the same as those in the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here.
