Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cylindrical battery production technology, and in particular to a battery positioning cylinder conveying device based on rotating teeth. Background Technology

[0002] In the battery manufacturing process, the conveying and precise positioning of the battery positioning cylinder is a crucial step in ensuring the efficient execution of subsequent processes (such as inserting cylindrical batteries into the cylinder). Currently, the commonly used conveying and positioning devices in the industry mostly rely on mechanical blocks, pneumatic push rods, and other structures to achieve cylinder positioning. However, in continuous production, these devices often suffer from insufficient positioning accuracy, leading to errors in subsequent robotic arm operations and affecting production efficiency.

[0003] Traditional positioning structures also suffer from insufficient protection for the battery positioning cylinder. Some devices have contact parts with sharp edges (such as when the baffle is inserted into the battery positioning cylinder), which can easily cause scratches or bumps when in contact with the cylinder, resulting in damage to the cylinder surface or structural deformation. This type of damage is especially true for cylinders made of plastic or thin metal, as it can directly affect their performance.

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing conveying and positioning devices in terms of positioning accuracy, workpiece protection, and operational stability, and to meet the requirements of battery production for high efficiency, precision, and low damage, the development of a structurally optimized and reliable battery positioning cylinder conveying device has become an urgent need in the industry. Based on this, this utility model proposes a battery positioning cylinder conveying device based on rotating teeth to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a battery positioning cylinder conveying device based on rotating teeth. The rotation angle and direction of the rotating teeth can be precisely controlled by a rotary drive device, which can make the slot of the rotating teeth accurately aligned with the battery positioning cylinder, ensuring accurate positioning of the cylinder and facilitating the efficient placement of cylindrical batteries by the robot arm.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A battery positioning cylinder conveying device based on rotating teeth includes a tracked conveyor with limit plates on both sides of the tracked conveyor. One of the limit plates has a notch, and a rotating tooth is provided in the notch. One end of the rotating tooth is located above the tracked conveyor to clamp the battery positioning cylinder through a slot. The device also includes a rotary drive for driving the rotating tooth to rotate.

[0008] Furthermore, the rotary drive device includes a servo motor and a reducer. The power output shaft of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the power input end of the reducer. The power output end of the reducer is connected to a shaft, and the rotating gear is fixedly connected to the shaft.

[0009] Furthermore, a bearing plate is welded onto the shaft, and the rotating tooth is located on top of the bearing plate.

[0010] Furthermore, a number of positioning posts are fixed on the top of the bearing plate, and positioning holes matching the positioning posts are opened at the bottom of the rotating teeth.

[0011] Furthermore, a fixing nut is threadedly connected to the top of the shaft.

[0012] Furthermore, a pressure ring is provided at the bottom of the fixing nut.

[0013] Furthermore, the tip of the rotating tooth is arc-shaped.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] The rotation angle and direction of the rotating teeth in this invention can be precisely controlled by a rotary drive device, which enables the slots of the rotating teeth to be precisely aligned with the battery positioning cylinder, ensuring accurate positioning of the cylinder and facilitating the efficient placement of cylindrical batteries by the robotic arm.

[0016] The rotating gear of this invention is clamped and fixed by a bearing plate and a fixing nut. With the engagement of the positioning pin and the positioning hole, the rotating gear and the shaft rotate synchronously. The setting of the pressure ring further enhances the fixing stability, reduces the risk of loosening or displacement during operation, and ensures the continuous and stable operation of the device.

[0017] The circular arc-shaped tooth tip of the rotating tooth of this utility model can avoid sharp edges scratching the cylinder or causing jamming, making the battery positioning cylinder more stable in contact and stopping, and can smoothly enter the slot with the power of the track, which not only protects the battery positioning cylinder, but also improves the continuity of positioning operation.

[0022] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0024] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0025] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; 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; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0026] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a battery positioning cylinder conveying device based on rotating teeth includes a tracked conveyor 1, with limit plates 2 on both sides of the tracked conveyor 1. One of the limit plates 2 has a notch 3, and a rotating tooth 4 is provided in the notch 3. One end of the rotating tooth 4 is located above the tracked conveyor 1 to clamp the battery positioning cylinder through a slot 401. The device also includes a rotary drive device 5 for driving the rotating tooth 4 to rotate.

[0027] In this embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the battery positioning cylinder is conveyed on the crawler conveyor 1. When it is conveyed to the opposite side of the rotating tooth 4, it will stop conveying due to contact with the tooth end 402 of the rotating tooth 4. When the rotary drive device 5 drives the rotating tooth to rotate, the battery positioning cylinder will continue to be conveyed under the action of the crawler conveyor 1. When the slot 401 of the rotating tooth 4 is directly opposite the battery positioning cylinder, part of the battery positioning cylinder will be located in the slot 401, thereby positioning the battery positioning cylinder, which makes it easier for the robot to put the semi-finished cylindrical battery into the battery positioning cylinder.

[0028] Among them, such as Figure 2 As shown, the rotary drive device 5 includes a servo motor 502 and a reducer 501. The power output shaft of the servo motor 502 is fixedly connected to the power input end of the reducer 501. The power output end of the reducer 501 is connected to a shaft 6. The rotating gear 4 is fixedly connected to the shaft 6. The servo motor 502 can drive the shaft 6 to rotate through the reducer 501, thereby driving the rotating gear 4 to rotate. The rotation angle of the servo motor 502 can be controlled by a servo controller. Therefore, the rotation angle and direction of the rotating gear 4 can be controlled each time to realize the positioning operation of the battery positioning cylinder.

[0029] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, a bearing plate 8 is welded onto the shaft 6, and the rotating tooth 4 is located on the top of the bearing plate 8. A fixing nut 7 is threadedly connected to the top of the shaft 6. The fixing nut 7 and the bearing plate 8 cooperate to clamp and fix the rotating tooth 4 onto the shaft 6.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, several positioning pins 9 are fixed on the top of the bearing plate 8, and the bottom of the rotating gear 4 is provided with positioning holes 10 that match the positioning pins 9. The positioning pins 9 are inserted into the positioning holes 10 to ensure that the rotating gear 4 and the shaft 6 rotate synchronously.

[0031] The bottom of the fixing nut 7 is provided with a pressure ring 11, which can increase the area of ​​the fixing nut 7 pressing down on the rotating teeth 4 and improve the fixing stability of the rotating teeth 4.

[0032] Among them, such as Figure 2 As shown, the tooth tip 402 of the rotating tooth 4 is arc-shaped, which enables the cylinder to stop more stably when in contact, while avoiding the cylinder from getting stuck due to sharp edges. This ensures that when the rotating tooth 4 rotates later, the battery positioning cylinder can smoothly enter the slot 401 with the power delivered by the track, improving the continuity of the positioning operation.

[0033] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent transformations or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
