Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding device technology, and in particular to an automatic feeding device for stamping battery steel shells. Background Technology

[0002] The origin of automated feeding devices for battery steel casing stamping is closely related to the development of the battery industry. In the early days, battery production was small-scale, and the stamping of battery steel casings was mostly done manually or semi-manually. Workers had to manually place the steel casings on the stamping molds before operating the stamping equipment. This method was not only labor-intensive and extremely inefficient, but also resulted in a high rate of defective products due to the instability of manual operation and significant deviations in the placement of the steel casings, making it difficult to meet the growing market demand for battery products.

[0003] However, traditional battery casing stamping and feeding methods rely heavily on manual operation. Workers must manually place the casings onto the stamping die, which is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also prone to errors in placement due to human factors, leading to a higher defect rate. As production scales up, manual feeding can no longer meet the demands of large-volume, continuous production. Companies are forced to invest heavily in labor costs, while also facing labor shortages and rising labor costs, necessitating improvements. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] This utility model adopts the following technical solution: an automatic feeding device for stamping battery steel shells, including a support frame, a hydraulic cylinder fixedly installed at the top of the support frame, a stamping assembly fixedly installed at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder, a conveyor belt fixedly installed inside the support frame, a motor fixedly installed on the surface of the support frame, a drive rod fixedly installed at the output end of the motor, a driven rod sleeved inside the support frame, a conveyor belt connected to the outer surfaces of the drive rod and the driven rod, a gear fixedly installed on the surface of the drive rod, a rotating groove opened on the surface of the support frame, a rotating rod sleeved inside the rotating groove, a gear fixedly installed at one end of the rotating rod, a synchronous belt connected to the outer surfaces of the gear and the gear, an insertion post fixedly installed at one end of the rotating rod, a fixed cylinder fixedly installed on the surface of the support frame, a groove opened on the inner surface of the fixed cylinder, a moving rod sleeved inside the fixed cylinder, a limit post fixedly installed on the surface of the moving rod, a clamping block fixedly installed at the rear end of the moving rod, a telescopic rod fixedly installed on the surface of the support frame, and an insertion groove opened at the rear end of the moving rod.

[0006] Preferably, one end of the telescopic rod is connected and fixed to the rear end surface of the clamping block. The surface of the clamping block is provided with anti-slip textures, which are multiple sets arranged in an array on the surface of the clamping block. Here, the multiple arrays of anti-slip textures on the surface of the clamping block effectively increase the friction between the clamping block and the battery steel shell, preventing the steel shell from slipping during gripping and transfer, ensuring the stability of the steel shell during transmission and stamping, and avoiding production accidents and product losses caused by the steel shell falling.

[0007] Preferably, the insertion post is inserted inside the insertion slot, and both the insertion post and the insertion slot are rectangular in shape. The groove inside the fixing cylinder is elliptical in shape, and the limiting post is fitted inside the groove. Here, the rectangular insertion post and the insertion slot cooperate to ensure the accuracy of the transmission between the rotating rod and the moving rod, so as to stably transmit power and realize the precise movement of the clamping block.

[0008] Preferably, the clamping block is placed at the bottom of the stamping assembly, and the number of clamping blocks, gear one, gear two, and timing belt is two sets, symmetrically distributed inside the support frame. Here, the two sets of symmetrically distributed clamping blocks, gears, timing belts, and other components can operate on two battery steel shells simultaneously, improving feeding efficiency and making the device operate more smoothly.

[0009] Preferably, the surfaces of both gear one and gear two mesh with the surface of the synchronous belt, and the first conveyor belt is an inclined conveyor belt, with its top end parallel to the surface of the second conveyor belt. Here, the meshing transmission between gear one, gear two, and the synchronous belt ensures the stability and reliability of power transmission, avoids slippage, and ensures stable movement speed of the clamping block.

[0010] Preferably, the support frame has a movable groove on its surface, a movable column is fitted inside the movable groove, a spring is fitted on the outer surface of the movable column, and an anti-deviation frame is fixedly installed at the other end of the movable column. A limit rod is fixedly installed inside the anti-deviation frame, and a roller is fitted on the outer surface of the limit rod. Here, the movable column, spring, and anti-deviation frame in the movable groove form an anti-deviation structure. The spring is initially at rest, providing a certain supporting force to the anti-deviation frame.

[0011] Preferably, the limiting rods and rollers are arranged in multiple sets and arrayed inside the anti-deviation frame, and the moving columns and springs are arranged in multiple sets and arrayed inside the moving groove and at the rear end of the anti-deviation frame. Here, the multiple sets of arrayed limiting rods and rollers can limit and guide the battery steel shell in all directions, ensuring that the steel shell is transported in a straight line on the second conveyor belt, thus improving the transmission accuracy.

[0012] Preferably, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the surface of the support frame, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the rear end surface of the anti-deviation frame. The initial state of the spring is a stationary state, and the anti-deviation frame is placed above the second conveyor belt. Here, one end of the spring is connected to the support frame, and the other end is connected to the anti-deviation frame. During the steel shell transmission process, the spring can automatically adjust the position of the anti-deviation frame according to the degree of steel shell deviation, realizing adaptive anti-deviation.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. In this utility model, by setting up a support frame, hydraulic cylinder, and motor structure, after the device is started, the battery steel shell is automatically transported via conveyor belts one and two. The motor and gear transmission structure work precisely to drive the clamping block to move accurately. Combined with the telescopic rod to assist in clamping, it ensures that the steel shell is stably gripped and transferred to the bottom of the stamping assembly. The entire process requires no manual intervention, significantly reducing labor intensity and improving material feeding efficiency. Thanks to the precision of the mechanical transmission and structural design, this device ensures that the steel shell is accurately placed in the stamping position each time, effectively avoiding defective products caused by human error and improving the product qualification rate. At the same time, it can meet the needs of mass production, reduce the company's reliance on manual labor, lower labor costs, and alleviate the production pressure caused by labor shortages, providing a strong guarantee for efficient and stable production.

[0015] 2. In this utility model, by setting up a moving groove, moving column, spring, anti-deviation frame, limiting rod, and roller structure, the multiple arrays of limiting rods and rollers within the anti-deviation frame can correct the position of the battery steel shell in real time during the transmission process, preventing it from deviating. When the steel shell impacts the roller, the spring acts as a buffer, preventing damage to the steel shell from the impact, while also reducing equipment vibration and noise.

It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0026] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Please see Figures 1-6This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic feeding device for stamping battery steel shells, including a support frame 1, a hydraulic cylinder 2 fixedly installed at the top of the support frame 1, a stamping assembly 3 fixedly installed at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 2, a conveyor belt 4 fixedly installed inside the support frame 1, a motor 5 fixedly installed on the surface of the support frame 1, a drive rod 6 fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 5, a driven rod 7 sleeved inside the support frame 1, a conveyor belt 8 drivingly connected to the outer surface of the drive rod 6 and the driven rod 7, a gear 9 fixedly installed on the surface of the drive rod 6, a rotating groove 10 opened on the surface of the support frame 1, a rotating rod 11 sleeved inside the rotating groove 10, and one end of the rotating rod 11 fixedly mounted... The device is equipped with gear 12, gear 9, and a synchronous belt 13 for transmission connection on the outer surface of gear 12. A insertion post 14 is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating rod 11. Fixed cylinders 15 are fixedly installed on the surface of the support frame 1. Grooves 16 are formed on the inner surface of the fixed cylinders 15. A moving rod 17 is fitted inside the fixed cylinders 15. Limiting posts 18 are fixedly installed on the surface of the moving rod 17. A clamping block 19 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the moving rod 17. A telescopic rod 20 is fixedly installed on the surface of the support frame 1. An insertion slot 21 is formed at the rear end of the moving rod 17. When using the automatic feeding device for stamping battery steel shells, the battery steel shell is first placed on conveyor belt 4, and conveyor belt 4 begins to transport the steel shell. The motor 5 is started, driving the drive rod 6 to rotate. The drive rod 6 and driven rod 7 are driven by conveyor belt 8, causing conveyor belt 8 to also start operating. Subsequently, the steel shell is transported to the surface of conveyor belt 8 by the movement of conveyor belt 4. Simultaneously, gear 9 on the surface of the drive rod 6 rotates, driving gear 12 to rotate via the synchronous belt 13. Gear 12 is mounted on the rotating rod 11, causing the rotating rod 11 to rotate. The insertion post 14 at one end of the rotating rod 11 inserts into the insertion slot 21 at the rear end of the moving rod 17. As the rotating rod 11 rotates, the insertion post 14 drives the moving rod 17 to move within the fixed cylinder 15. The limiting post 18 on the moving rod 17 slides within the groove 16 inside the fixed cylinder 15, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the moving rod 17's movement. During the movement, the clamping block 19 fixed at the rear end of the moving rod 17 approaches the steel shell. At this time, the telescopic rod 20 extends, and the clamping block 19 firmly clamps the steel shell. After the clamping block 19 clamps the steel shell, the rotating rod 11 continues to rotate, driving the clamping block 19 and the steel shell to move below the stamping assembly 3. Finally, hydraulic cylinder 2 is activated, driving the stamping assembly 3 to move downwards and perform a stamping operation on the steel shell. After the stamping is completed, the rotating rod 11 continues to rotate, causing the clamping block 19 to disengage from the surface of the steel shell, so that the next operation can be carried out.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-7One end of the telescopic rod 20 is connected and fixed to the rear end surface of the clamping block 19. The surface of the clamping block 19 is provided with anti-slip textures, which are arranged in multiple sets and arrayed on the surface of the clamping block 19. The insertion post 14 is inserted into the insertion slot 21. The insertion post 14 and the insertion slot 21 are rectangular in shape. The groove 16 inside the fixed cylinder 15 is elliptical in shape. The limiting post 18 is sleeved inside the groove 16. The clamping block 19 is placed at the bottom of the stamping assembly 3. The clamping block 19, gear 19, gear 212, and synchronous belt 13 are arranged in two sets and symmetrically distributed inside the support frame 1. The surfaces of gear 19 and gear 212 mesh with the surface of synchronous belt 13. The conveyor belt 4 is a climbing... The inclined conveyor belt, with the top of conveyor belt 4 parallel to the surface of conveyor belt 8, has multiple sets of limit rods 26 and rollers 27 arranged in an array inside the anti-deviation frame 25, and multiple sets of moving columns 23 and springs 24 arranged in an array inside the moving groove 22 and at the rear end of the anti-deviation frame 25. One end of the spring 24 is connected and fixed to the surface of the support frame 1, and the other end of the spring 24 is connected and fixed to the rear end surface of the anti-deviation frame 25. The initial state of the spring 24 is a stationary state. The anti-deviation frame 25 is placed above the conveyor belt 8. The initial stationary state of the spring 24 ensures that the anti-deviation frame 25 remains stable when there is no external force. The anti-deviation frame 25 is located above the conveyor belt 8 and can provide anti-deviation protection for the steel shell throughout the process.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 7 The support frame 1 has a movable groove 22 on its surface. A movable column 23 is fitted inside the movable groove 22, and a spring 24 is fitted on the outer surface of the movable column 23. An anti-deviation frame 25 is fixedly installed at the other end of the movable column 23. A limit rod 26 is fixedly installed inside the anti-deviation frame 25, and a roller 27 is fitted on the outer surface of the limit rod 26. During the transmission of the battery steel shell via the second conveyor belt 8, the anti-deviation frame 25 is positioned in the movable groove 22 of the support frame 1 by means of the movable column 23. Initially, the spring 24 is stationary, providing stable support for the anti-deviation frame 25. When the steel shell tends to deviate on the conveyor belt and contacts the roller 27 outside the limit rod 26 inside the anti-deviation frame 25, the roller 27 rotates due to the thrust of the steel shell, which in turn causes the anti-deviation frame 25 to move under force. The movable column 23 slides and compresses the spring 24 within the movable groove 22. The reverse elastic force generated by the spring 24 causes the anti-deviation frame 25 to push the steel shell back to its original position, returning the steel shell to the center transmission path of the second conveyor belt 8. Once the steel shell offset force disappears, the spring 24 returns to its original deformation, pushing the anti-deviation frame 25 and the roller 27 back to their original positions, continuously preventing deviation and limiting the steel shells that are subsequently transported, ensuring that the steel shells move stably on the conveyor belt, and providing steel shells with precise positioning for subsequent clamping and stamping processes.

[0032] Working Principle: When using the automatic feeding device for stamping battery steel shells, the battery steel shells are first placed on conveyor belt 4, which then begins transporting the shells. Motor 5 is started, driving the drive rod 6 to rotate. The drive rod 6 and driven rod 7 are transmitted through conveyor belt 8, causing conveyor belt 8 to also start operating. The steel shells are then transported to the surface of conveyor belt 8 via conveyor belt 4. During the transport of the battery steel shells via conveyor belt 8, the anti-deviation frame 25 is positioned within the moving groove 22 of the support frame 1 by the moving column 23. Initially, the spring 24 is stationary, providing stable support for the anti-deviation frame 25. When the steel shell shows a tendency to deviate on the conveyor belt and contacts the roller 27 outside the internal limit rod 26 of the anti-deviation frame 25, the roller 27 rotates due to the thrust of the steel shell, simultaneously causing the anti-deviation frame 25 to move under force. The moving column 23 slides within the moving groove 22, compressing the spring 24. The reverse elastic force generated by the spring 24 causes the anti-deviation frame 25 to push the steel shell back to its original position, returning it to the center transport path of conveyor belt 8. Once the steel shell offset force disappears, spring 24 returns to its original deformation, pushing anti-deviation frame 25 and roller 27 back to their original positions, continuously limiting the deviation of the steel shells being transported subsequently, ensuring the steel shells move stably forward on the conveyor belt, providing precisely positioned steel shells for subsequent clamping and stamping processes. Simultaneously, gear 9 on the surface of the drive rod 6 rotates, driving gear 12 via synchronous belt 13. Gear 12 is mounted on rotating rod 11, causing rotating rod 11 to rotate. The insertion post 14 at one end of rotating rod 11 inserts into the insertion slot 21 at the rear end of moving rod 17. As rotating rod 11 rotates, the insertion post 14 drives moving rod 17 to move within fixed cylinder 15. Limiting post 18 on moving rod 17 slides within groove 16 inside fixed cylinder 15, ensuring the stability and accuracy of moving rod 17's movement. During movement, clamping block 19 fixed at the rear end of moving rod 17 approaches the steel shell; at this time, telescopic rod 20 extends, assisting clamping block 19 in firmly clamping the steel shell. After the clamping block 19 clamps the steel shell, the rotating rod 11 continues to rotate, moving the clamping block 19 and the steel shell below the stamping assembly 3. Finally, the hydraulic cylinder 2 is activated, driving the stamping assembly 3 downward to perform a stamping operation on the steel shell. After stamping is completed, the rotating rod 11 continues to rotate, causing the clamping block 19 to disengage from the surface of the steel shell, allowing for the next operation. Automatic feeding can be achieved by setting the conveyor belt 4.

Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields.
