Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lithium battery manufacturing, specifically to a rubber stopper rotation adjustment mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, the equipment used to produce lithium batteries such as lithium-ion batteries, aluminum electrolytic lithium batteries, and super lithium batteries is an assembly machine. For example, Chinese utility model patent No. ZL201920221009.3, entitled "An Automatic Assembly Machine for Lithium Batteries," discloses an assembly machine that can automatically produce and assemble lithium batteries. The rubber plug transfer device of the existing assembly machine rotates the rubber plug to transfer it sequentially from the feeding station, the inspection station, and the assembly to the shell station. When it reaches the inspection station, a probe is inserted downward into the rubber plug hole to check whether the rubber plug position is accurate (the rubber plug position is accurate so that the lead wire can extend from the rubber plug hole when the product is installed later). When the rubber plug is placed in the correct position, the probe can be inserted into the rubber plug hole normally. When the rubber plug is not placed in the correct position, the probe cannot be inserted into the rubber plug hole. The disadvantage of this position adjustment method is that the probe sometimes scratches the rubber plug when it hits it. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies, the technical problem this invention aims to solve is how to ensure that the rubber stopper is not damaged when adjusting its position. The specific technical solution is as follows:
[0004] A rubber stopper rotation adjustment mechanism includes a rubber stopper positioning fixture, a fixture support plate, a rotating wheel, a rotation power mechanism, and a rotation clutch mechanism. The rubber stopper positioning fixture is provided with a positioning groove for pressing the rubber stopper in. The rubber stopper positioning fixture is rotatably mounted on the fixture support plate. The rotation power mechanism drives the rotating wheel to rotate. The rotation clutch mechanism drives the rotating wheel to move away from or towards the rubber stopper positioning fixture. When the rotating wheel contacts the rubber stopper positioning fixture, it drives the rubber stopper positioning fixture to rotate.
[0005] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the rubber plug positioning fixture includes a fixture body, a bearing, and a retaining ring. The fixture body is composed of a circular sleeve and a rotating shaft connected as one piece. A positioning groove is provided in the circular sleeve, and the rotating shaft is connected below the circular sleeve. The outer diameter of the circular sleeve is larger than the outer diameter of the rotating shaft. The bearing is installed in the fixture bearing plate, and a limiting groove is provided at the lower part of the rotating shaft. After the rotating shaft passes downward through the bearing, the retaining ring is engaged in the limiting groove.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inner diameter of the positioning groove is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the rubber plug.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the main body of the fixture is a hollow structure.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the fixture support plate is a disc, and there are multiple rubber plug positioning fixtures arranged circumferentially around the central axis of the disc.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the rotary power mechanism is a motor, a swing cylinder, or a gear and rack mechanism, and the output shaft of the rotary power mechanism is connected to a rotating wheel.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the rotary clutch mechanism includes a movable plate, a slider, a slide rail, and a swing arm. A rotary power mechanism is installed on the side of the movable plate, and a slider is installed on the back of the movable plate. The slider is slidably connected to the slide rail, which is arranged horizontally and is fixedly installed on a fixed plate. The swing arm is connected to the side of the movable plate.
[0011] Beneficial effects: When the rubber stopper rotation adjustment mechanism of this utility model is working, the rotary clutch mechanism drives the rotary wheel to approach the rubber stopper positioning fixture. When the rotary wheel comes into contact with the rubber stopper positioning fixture, the rotary power mechanism drives the rotary wheel to rotate, thus driving the rubber stopper positioning fixture to rotate, thereby adjusting the position of the rubber stopper in the positioning groove of the rubber stopper positioning fixture. This non-contact method of adjusting the position of the rubber stopper will not scratch the rubber stopper and meets the usage requirements. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the position or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0018] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0019] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a rubber stopper rotation adjustment mechanism includes a rubber stopper positioning fixture 1, a fixture support plate 2, a rotating wheel 3, a rotation power mechanism 4, and a rotation clutch mechanism 5. The rubber stopper positioning fixture 1 is provided with a positioning groove 1a for pressing the rubber stopper in. The rubber stopper positioning fixture 1 is rotatably mounted on the fixture support plate 2. The rotation power mechanism 4 drives the rotating wheel 3 to rotate. The rotation clutch mechanism 5 drives the rotating wheel 3 to move away from or towards the rubber stopper positioning fixture 1. When the rotating wheel 3 comes into contact with the rubber stopper positioning fixture 1, it drives the rubber stopper positioning fixture 1 to rotate.
[0020] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the rubber plug positioning fixture 1 includes a fixture body 11, a bearing 12, and a retaining ring 13. The fixture body 11 is composed of a circular sleeve 11a and a rotating shaft 11b connected together. The positioning groove 1a is located at the center of the circular sleeve 11a. The rotating shaft 11b is connected below the circular sleeve 11a. The outer diameter of the circular sleeve 11a is larger than the outer diameter of the rotating shaft 11b. When the rotating wheel 3 contacts the circular sleeve 11a, friction causes it to rotate. The bearing 12 is installed in the fixture support plate 2. A limiting groove 14 is provided at the lower part of the rotating shaft 11b. After the rotating shaft 11b passes downward through the bearing 12, the retaining ring 13 is engaged in the limiting groove 14. The retaining ring 13 prevents the fixture body 11 from dislodging from the bearing 12.
[0021] Specifically, the inner diameter of the positioning groove 1a is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the rubber plug 6. After the rubber plug 6 is pressed into the positioning groove 1a, it rotates together with the fixture body 11. In addition, the fixture body 11 is a hollow structure with an opening at the bottom. The push rod below (not shown) can push the rubber plug 6 out of the positioning groove.
[0022] Specifically, the fixture support plate 2 is a disc, and there are multiple rubber plug positioning fixtures 1 arranged circumferentially around the central axis of the disc. The disc can be driven by a cam divider to rotate to different positions, which is the existing technology for processing different processes.
[0023] Specifically, the rotary power mechanism 4 is a motor, a swing cylinder, or a gear and rack mechanism, and the output shaft of the rotary power mechanism is connected to the rotating wheel 3, thereby causing the rotating wheel 3 to rotate.
[0024] Specifically, the rotary clutch mechanism 5 includes a movable plate 51, a slider 52, a slide rail 53, and a swing arm 54. A rotary power mechanism 4 is installed on the side of the movable plate 51, and a slider 52 is installed on the back of the movable plate 51. The slider 52 is slidably connected to the slide rail 53. The slide rail 53 is arranged laterally and is fixedly installed on the fixed plate 7. The swing arm 54 is connected to the side of the movable plate 51. A cylinder, a cam mechanism, or other power device is used to drive the swing arm 54 to swing. The swing arm 54 drives the movable plate 51 to move, thereby causing the rotating wheel 3 to move closer to or away from the sleeve 11a.
[0025] The above description is a further detailed explanation of the present utility model in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments. It should not be considered that the specific implementation of the present utility model is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, and all such deductions or substitutions should be considered to fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
