Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of battery manufacturing technology, specifically relating to a precise positioning device for cylindrical battery displacement. Background Technology

[0002] Batteries can be classified into square batteries, cylindrical batteries, button batteries, etc. according to their shape. Cylindrical batteries are often used in electronic products such as remote controls, toys, and cash registers. The market is huge, and major manufacturers have been actively expanding production. In order to increase production capacity, the traditional method of manually handling cylindrical batteries has been replaced by conveyor belt transportation.

[0003] Cylindrical batteries are typically stacked in battery turnover boxes for centralized transfer and then transported on a conveyor belt to increase the amount transported per trip, thereby increasing production capacity. To prevent the battery turnover boxes from slipping off the conveyor belt, limit plates are often installed on both sides of the conveyor belt.

[0004] When conveying cylindrical batteries, the existing conveyor belts stack the batteries in the grooves of the battery turnover box. However, the grooves are generally larger than the cylindrical batteries, making it inconvenient to calibrate their positions and resulting in a scattered arrangement. This leads to poor displacement positioning accuracy of the cylindrical batteries. To address this issue, we propose a precise displacement positioning device for cylindrical batteries. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a precise positioning device for cylindrical battery displacement, which can solve the problem of inconsistent positions during battery displacement, eliminates the need for manual calibration of cylindrical batteries, and improves the positioning accuracy of cylindrical battery displacement.

[0006] The specific technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A precise positioning device for cylindrical battery displacement includes a flange mounting base. A hinge and a perforated connecting plate connected to the hinge are provided at the lower end of the flange mounting base. Adjustment mechanisms and multiple vacuum suction cups connected to the adjustment mechanisms are provided on both sides of the perforated connecting plate. The ends of the vacuum suction cups are all located below the perforated connecting plate. A cylinder is horizontally mounted on one side of the flange mounting base. The output end of the cylinder faces away from the flange mounting base and is mounted with a first square bracket. A second square bracket is mounted on the upper surface of the perforated connecting plate away from the flange mounting base. A linkage mechanism is provided between the upper end of the second square bracket and the end of the first square bracket away from the cylinder. A vibration motor is also mounted on the upper surface of the perforated connecting plate. When transferring cylindrical batteries, the vacuum suction cups pick up the battery transfer box, which is then moved to the next station by an electric slide rail, and then the cylinder is activated. Pulling the linkage mechanism causes the perforated connecting plate to tilt as a whole, so that the cylindrical battery moves in one direction under the action of gravity. Then, the vibration motor is started to vibrate the perforated connecting plate and the cylindrical battery inside it. Batteries that are not tilted into place vibrate until they are all in place, solving the problem of inconsistent positions during battery displacement. There is no need for manual calibration of the cylindrical battery, which helps to improve the displacement positioning accuracy of the cylindrical battery and brings low-cost and high-efficiency economic benefits to repeated displacement positioning.

[0008] The adjustment mechanism includes multiple handwheels threaded onto one side of a perforated connecting plate. An adjustment connecting plate is threaded onto the outer side of each handwheel. An elongated hole is provided at the end of the adjustment connecting plate away from the handwheel, through which the air inlet end of the corresponding vacuum suction cup passes. By moving the adjustment connecting plate horizontally, the corresponding vacuum suction cup is moved to a designated position, facilitating the adjustment of the position of the vacuum suction cup gripping the battery turnover box. Then, the handwheel is tightened along the thread to press the adjustment connecting plate downwards, locking the adjustment connecting plate under friction.

[0009] The hinge includes a third square bracket fixedly installed at the lower end of the flange mounting base. A rotating shaft a is rotatably installed at the end of the third square bracket away from the flange mounting base. A fourth square bracket is hinged between the two ends of the rotating shaft a. The third square bracket and the rotating shaft a stably suspend the fourth square bracket. When the perforated connecting plate tilts, the fourth square bracket swings around the rotating shaft a at a certain angle.

[0010] The linkage mechanism includes a connecting rod hinged between the upper end of the second square bracket and one end of the first square bracket. A spherical bearing is installed at the end of the connecting rod away from the first square bracket. Rotating the connecting rod forward along the thread of the spherical bearing shortens the distance between the second square bracket and the first square bracket. Conversely, rotating the connecting rod backward increases the distance. The overall length of the linkage mechanism can be freely adjusted.

[0011] The first square bracket has a hinge joint inserted inside. One end of the hinge joint is a ring structure and the other end is an internally threaded tube structure. The internally threaded tube of the hinge joint is threaded to one end of the connecting rod. One end of the connecting rod can rotate around the internally threaded tube, which is beneficial for adjusting the overall length of the linkage mechanism. It can also drive the hinge joint to swing around the hinge point between itself and the first square bracket under the pull of the overall length of the linkage mechanism.

[0012] The annular structure of the hinge joint is fitted with a rotating shaft b, the two ends of which extend out of the interior of the first square bracket. The hinge joint is supported by the rotating shaft b, and the hinge joint can rotate stably around the rotating shaft b, reducing friction with the inner wall of the first square bracket.

[0013] The technical effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This utility model discloses a precise positioning device for cylindrical battery displacement. During the transfer of cylindrical batteries, compressed air from an air compressor is connected to a vacuum suction cup via a vacuum generator. The suction cup holds the battery transfer box, which is then moved to the next station by an electric slide rail. A cylinder is then activated, pulling a linkage mechanism that tilts the perforated connecting plate. This causes the cylindrical batteries to move in one direction under gravity. A vibration motor is then activated to vibrate the perforated connecting plate and the cylindrical batteries inside, vibrating any batteries that are not yet in position until they are fully in place. This solves the problem of inconsistent battery positioning during displacement, eliminates the need for manual calibration of the cylindrical batteries, improves the positioning accuracy of cylindrical battery displacement, and brings low-cost, high-efficiency economic benefits to repeated positioning.

[0015] This utility model relates to a precise positioning device for cylindrical battery displacement. The device involves translating and adjusting the connecting plate, which drives the corresponding vacuum suction cup to a designated position. This allows for easy adjustment of the vacuum suction cup's position to grip the battery storage box. The handwheel is then tightened along the thread to press the adjusting connecting plate downwards, and the adjusting connecting plate is locked in place by friction. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the purpose and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific implementations of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.

[0023] As shown in Figures 1-4, a precise positioning device for cylindrical battery displacement includes a flange mounting base 1. A hinge and a perforated connecting plate 2 connected to the hinge are provided at the lower end of the flange mounting base 1. Adjustment mechanisms and multiple vacuum suction cups 3 connected to the adjustment mechanisms are provided on both sides of the perforated connecting plate 2. The ends of the vacuum suction cups 3 are all located below the perforated connecting plate 2. A cylinder 4 is horizontally mounted on one side of the flange mounting base 1. One end of the cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the flange mounting base 1 by bolts. The output end of the cylinder 4 faces away from the flange mounting base 1 and is equipped with a first square bracket 5. A second square bracket 6 is mounted on the upper surface of the perforated connecting plate 2 away from the flange mounting base 1. A linkage mechanism is provided between the upper end of the second square bracket 6 and the end of the first square bracket 5 away from the cylinder 4. The other end of the first square bracket 5 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 4 by bolts. A vibration motor 7 is also mounted on the upper surface of the perforated connecting plate 2. The outer side is fixed to the upper surface of the perforated connecting plate 2 by bolts. First, the cylindrical batteries are placed in the battery turnover box. When transferring the cylindrical batteries, the flange mounting seat 1 is fixed to the electric slide rail by bolts. After lowering the perforated connecting plate 2 and the vacuum suction cup 3, the compressed air output by the air compressor is connected to the vacuum suction cup 3 through the vacuum generator, so that the vacuum suction cup 3 sucks up the battery turnover box and moves it to the next station by the electric slide rail. Then, the cylinder 4 is started to pull the linkage mechanism, which drives the perforated connecting plate 2 to rotate clockwise around the hinge and counterclockwise around the second square bracket 6, tilting the whole thing. Thus, the cylindrical batteries move in one direction under the action of gravity. Then, the vibration motor 7 is started to vibrate the perforated connecting plate 2 and the cylindrical batteries inside it. Batteries that are not tilted into place are vibrated until they are all in place. Then, they are laid flat and placed in the designated position of the second station. The cylinder 4, the linkage mechanism and the vibration motor 7 are used to vibrate the perforated connecting plate 2 and the cylindrical batteries inside it. The device solves the problem of inconsistent positioning during battery displacement, eliminating the need for manual calibration of cylindrical batteries. This improves the positioning accuracy of cylindrical batteries and brings low-cost and high-efficiency economic benefits to repeated positioning.

[0024] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the adjustment mechanism includes multiple handwheels 8 threaded onto one side of the perforated connecting plate 2. Each handwheel 8 consists of a wheel and a screw vertically welded to the middle of the lower surface of the wheel. One end of the screw is threaded to the upper surface of the perforated connecting plate 2. An adjustment connecting plate 9 is threaded onto the outer side of the handwheel 8. An elongated hole is provided at the end of the adjustment connecting plate 9 away from the handwheel 8. The elongated hole is penetrated by the air inlet end of the corresponding vacuum suction cup 3. By moving the adjustment connecting plate 9, the corresponding vacuum suction cup 3 is moved to a designated position, which facilitates the adjustment of the position of the vacuum suction cup 3 to grip the battery turnover box. Then, the handwheel 8 is tightened along the thread, pressing the adjustment connecting plate 9 downwards. The adjustment connecting plate 9 is locked under friction.

[0025] As shown in Figures 1 and 3, the hinge includes a third square bracket 10 fixedly installed at the lower end of the flange mounting base 1. The upper end of the third square bracket 10 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the flange mounting base 1 by bolts. A rotating shaft a11 is rotatably installed at the end of the third square bracket 10 away from the flange mounting base 1. A fourth square bracket 12 is hinged between the two ends of the rotating shaft a11. The fourth square bracket 12 is concave and its opening is penetrated by the rotating shaft a11. The third square bracket 10 and the rotating shaft a11 stably suspend the fourth square bracket 12. When the perforated connecting plate 2 is tilted, the fourth square bracket 12 swings around the rotating shaft a11 at a certain angle.

[0026] As shown in Figure 1, the linkage mechanism includes a connecting rod 14 hinged between the upper end of the second square bracket 6 and one end of the first square bracket 5. A spherical bearing 13 is installed at the end of the connecting rod 14 away from the first square bracket 5. The inner thread of the spherical bearing 13 is connected to one end of the connecting rod 14. One side of the spherical bearing 13 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the second square bracket 6. Rotating the connecting rod 14 forward along the thread of the spherical bearing 13 shortens the distance between the second square bracket 6 and the first square bracket 5. Conversely, rotating the connecting rod 14 in reverse increases the distance. The overall length of the linkage mechanism can be freely adjusted.

[0027] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a hinge joint 15 is inserted inside the first square bracket 5. One end of the hinge joint 15 is a ring structure and the other end is an internally threaded tube structure. The internally threaded tube of the hinge joint 15 is threaded to one end of the connecting rod 14. One end of the connecting rod 14 can rotate around the internally threaded tube, which is beneficial to adjust the overall length of the linkage mechanism. It can also drive the hinge joint 15 to swing around its hinge point with the first square bracket 5 under the pull of the overall length of the linkage mechanism.

[0028] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the annular structure of the hinge joint 15 is fitted with a rotating shaft b16. The two ends of the rotating shaft b16 extend out of the interior of the first square bracket 5. The rotating shaft b16 supports the hinge joint 15, allowing the hinge joint 15 to rotate stably around the rotating shaft b16, thereby reducing friction with the inner wall of the first square bracket 5.

[0029] The working principle of this utility is as follows: When transferring cylindrical batteries, the flange mounting base 1 is fixed on the electric slide rail with bolts. The horizontal adjustment connecting plate 9 is moved to drive the corresponding vacuum suction cup 3 to the designated position, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the vacuum suction cup 3 to hold the battery turnover box. Then, the handwheel 8 is tightened along the thread to press the adjustment connecting plate 9 downward and lock the adjustment connecting plate 9 under the action of friction.

[0030] At the same time, after the perforated connecting plate 2 and vacuum suction cup 3 are lowered, the compressed air output by the air compressor is connected to the vacuum suction cup 3 through the vacuum generator, so that the vacuum suction cup 3 picks up the battery turnover box and moves it to the next station by the electric slide rail.

[0031] Then, cylinder 4 is activated, pulling the linkage mechanism to drive the perforated connecting plate 2 to rotate clockwise around the hinge, while the other end rotates counterclockwise around the second square bracket 6, causing the whole structure to tilt. As a result, the cylindrical battery moves in one direction under the action of gravity. Then, the vibration motor 7 is activated to vibrate the perforated connecting plate 2 and the cylindrical battery inside it. Batteries that are not in the correct tilt position are vibrated until they are all in the correct position. Then, they are placed flat and put into the designated position in the second workstation. The device composed of cylinder 4, linkage mechanism and vibration motor 7 solves the problem of inconsistent position during battery displacement. There is no need for manual calibration of the cylindrical battery, which helps to improve the displacement positioning accuracy of the cylindrical battery and brings low-cost and high-efficiency economic benefits to the displacement and repeated positioning.

[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the art.
