[0022] The present invention will now be described in detail, and the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0023] This utility model provides an improved sorting and conveying device for an automatic battery box assembly machine. The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a sorting and conveying device for an automatic battery box assembly machine includes a conveyor seat 1, a conveyor belt 2, and support legs 3. The conveyor seat 1 is a hollow rectangular structure. The conveyor belt 2 is movably mounted inside the conveyor seat 1 via an external drive and can rotate inside the conveyor seat 1, thereby conveying the battery boxes on the conveyor belt 2. The support legs 3 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the conveyor seat 1 to support the conveyor seat 1 and maintain a certain height. An mounting plate 4 is fixedly installed at the top center of the conveyor seat 1. The mounting plate 4 is an "L"-shaped plate. A vision inspection device 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 4. The vision inspection device 5 is equipped with a vision inspection system for inspecting the battery boxes conveyed on the conveyor belt 2. The delivered battery boxes undergo visual inspection. The visual inspection device 5 is a mature existing technology, so its specific model and software system are not described in detail. A push plate 6 is provided on one side of the mounting plate 4. The push plate 6 is a rectangular plate. A drive mechanism is provided on the mounting plate 4. A rectangular opening is provided on the conveyor seat 1 corresponding to the position of the push plate 6. The drive mechanism can drive the push plate 6 to move at the bottom of the mounting plate 4. When the visual inspection device 5 detects a problem on the surface of the battery box, the drive mechanism will drive the push plate 6 to move at the bottom of the mounting plate 4. The push plate 6 can then push the battery box, and then push the battery box out of the conveyor seat 1 through the opening in the conveyor seat 1, thereby achieving the effect of sorting out unqualified battery boxes.

[0025] A spraying device 9 is fixedly mounted on the end of mounting plate 4 away from push plate 6. A spray material tank 10 is threadedly mounted on the input end of the spraying device 9, which supplies material to the spraying device 9. This allows the spraying device 9 to spray and mark unqualified battery boxes when they pass under it. A transmission plate 11, a rectangular block, is fixedly mounted on the top of push plate 6. A trigger block 12, also a rectangular block, is fixedly mounted on the top of transmission plate 11. A second mounting plate 13, also a rectangular block, is mounted on one end of the spraying device 9. A pressure switch 14 is installed on the mounting plate 2 13. The pressure switch 14 is electrically connected to the mounting plate 2 13 through a controller. When the push plate 6 moves, the push plate 6 will drive the transmission plate 11 to move. The transmission plate 11 will then drive the trigger block 12 to move. When the trigger block 12 moves to the position of the mounting plate 2 13, the battery box is about to leave the interior of the conveyor seat 1. At this time, the trigger block 12 will contact the pressure switch 14, and the pressure switch 14 will be triggered, thereby starting the spraying equipment 9. Thus, while the battery box leaves the interior of the conveyor seat 1, the spraying equipment 9 can spray and mark the battery box.

[0026] The drive mechanism includes a transmission groove 15, a transmission motor 16, and a transmission shaft 17. The transmission groove 15 is a rectangular groove located on the top wall of the mounting plate 4. One end of the transmission plate 11 is located inside the transmission groove 15. The transmission motor 16 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the mounting plate 4 and is electrically connected to the vision inspection device 5 via a controller. The transmission shaft 17 is a threaded cylindrical structure and is movably mounted inside the transmission groove 15. The transmission shaft 17 is fixedly connected to the output end of the transmission motor 16 and passes through the side wall of the transmission plate 11, where it is threadedly connected. When the vision inspection device 5 detects a problem on the surface of the battery box, it activates the transmission motor 16, which drives the transmission shaft 17 to rotate. The transmission shaft 17 is threadedly connected to the transmission plate 11, causing the transmission plate 11 to move inside the transmission groove 15 and simultaneously move the trigger block 12.

[0027] A second conveyor 7 is fixedly installed on the conveyor seat 1 at the position corresponding to the rectangular opening. A second conveyor belt 8 is also installed inside the second conveyor 7 through an external drive device. When the battery box leaves the inside of the first conveyor 1, it will move into the inside of the second conveyor 7. The second conveyor belt 8 can then drive the battery box to move on the second conveyor belt 8 again, so that the unqualified battery box can be sent to the previous assembly stage for reprocessing. A feeding plate 18 is fixedly installed on the second conveyor 7. The surface of the feeding plate 18 is provided with small balls. The feeding plate 18 can send the battery box obliquely downward to the ground for stacking.

[0028] The specific working method is as follows:

[0029] With the visual inspection device 5, the visual inspection device 5 can visually inspect the battery boxes conveyed on the conveyor belt 2. When the visual inspection device 5 detects a problem on the surface of the battery box, the drive mechanism will start the transmission motor 16. The transmission motor 16 drives the transmission shaft 17 to rotate. The transmission shaft 17 is threadedly connected to the transmission plate 11. The transmission plate 11 will move inside the transmission groove 15 and simultaneously drive the trigger block 12 to move. When the trigger block 12 moves to the position of the mounting plate 13, the battery box is about to leave the inside of the conveyor seat 1. At this time, the trigger block 12 will contact the pressure switch 14, and the pressure switch 14 will be triggered, thereby starting the spraying equipment 9. Then, while the battery box leaves the inside of the conveyor seat 1, the spraying equipment 9 can spray and mark the battery box. Thus, while sorting out unqualified battery boxes, it can also automatically spray and mark the battery boxes, making it easy for operators to identify them.

[0030] The technical means disclosed in this utility model are not limited to those described above, but also include technical solutions composed of equivalent substitutions of the above technical features. Matters not covered in this utility model are common knowledge to those skilled in the art.
