[0002] During the production and recycling of lithium batteries, due to differences in size, they need to be accurately sorted to ensure the assembly accuracy and product consistency of subsequent processes. Lithium battery sorting equipment uses mechanical structures to quickly measure the dimensional parameters of batteries, such as length and diameter, and sorts the batteries according to their size and sends them to different channels or collection areas, realizing automated and efficient sorting operations and improving the overall processing accuracy and yield of the production line.

[0003] Existing technologies require manual sorting, but manual sorting of lithium batteries is inefficient. It requires manual handling, size identification and classification. Lithium batteries may collide or fall due to improper handling, which may not only damage the batteries themselves but also pose safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems of low efficiency in the existing manual sorting of lithium batteries, which requires manual handling, size identification and classification, and the possibility of lithium batteries being collided or dropped due to improper handling, which may not only damage the batteries themselves, but also pose safety hazards, this utility model is proposed.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a lithium battery sorting device, including a base, a conveying structure, a distributing structure, and a sorting structure. The conveying structure is installed on the top of the base, and the distributing structure and the sorting structure are respectively installed on the conveying structure. The distributing structure includes a base plate and a protective plate. The sorting structure includes a controller, a light curtain sensor, a second rotating shaft, a second motor, and a fixing rod. The light curtain sensor and the controller are electrically connected. The second motor is mounted on a baffle through the second rotating shaft. Rubber pads are fixedly installed on both sides of the baffle. A stop block is mounted on the baffle through a support rod.

The second motor and the controller are electrically connected.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of the lithium battery sorting equipment of this utility model, the conveying structure includes a support frame, a first rotating shaft, a conveyor belt, and a first motor. The support frames are configured as a pair and are fixedly installed on the top of the base. The first rotating shaft is rotatably installed between the support frames, and a roller is fixedly installed on the first rotating shaft. The roller is connected by the conveyor belt. The first motor is fixedly installed on the outside of the support frame, and the motor shaft of the first motor is fixedly connected to one end of the first rotating shaft.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the lithium battery sorting equipment of this utility model, the base plate is fixedly installed at the end of the support frame and has an inclined angle. The base plate is Y-shaped, and the protective plate is fixedly installed at the top of the base plate. The base plate and the protective plate together form a first channel and a second channel. Several electric rollers are installed in the first channel and the second channel respectively.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the lithium battery sorting equipment of this utility model, the controller is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the support frame, and the light curtain sensors are configured as a pair and fixedly installed on the top of the support frame.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] 1. Through the set sorting structure, the size of lithium batteries is scanned in real time by the light curtain sensor and the data is transmitted to the controller for comparison with preset parameters, which realizes the accurate identification of lithium batteries of different sizes. The controller can automatically control the second motor to drive the baffle to rotate, and complete the switching between the first channel and the second channel without manual intervention, which improves sorting efficiency. The cooperation between the conveyor belt and the electric roller ensures the continuity of lithium batteries in the transmission process.

[0013] 2. The rubber pads on both sides of the baffle can cushion the falling lithium battery, preventing damage to the battery or equipment from hard impact. The cooperation between the stop block and the limit block precisely limits the rotation angle of the baffle, ensuring the accuracy of channel switching and preventing the baffle from excessively deflecting when the lithium battery is hit, thereby protecting the second motor from damage by additional load.

[0021] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Example

[0023] Refer to attached figure Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 4 This utility model provides a lithium battery sorting device, including a base 1, a conveying structure 2, a distributing structure 3, and a sorting structure 4. The conveying structure 2 is installed on the top of the base 1, and the distributing structure 3 and the sorting structure 4 are respectively installed on the conveying structure 2. The conveying structure 2 includes a support frame 21, a first rotating shaft 22, a conveyor belt 24, and a first motor 25. The support frames 21 are configured as a pair and are fixedly installed on the top of the base 1. The first rotating shaft 22 is rotatably installed between the support frames 21, and a roller 23 is fixedly installed on the first rotating shaft 22. The roller 23 is connected by the conveyor belt 24. The first motor 25 is fixedly installed on the outside of the support frame 21, and the motor shaft of the first motor 25 is fixedly connected to one end of the first rotating shaft 22.

[0024] The conveying structure 3 includes a base plate 31 and a protective plate 32. The base plate 31 is fixedly installed at the end of the support frame 21 and has an inclined angle. The base plate 31 is Y-shaped. The protective plate 32 is fixedly installed at the top of the base plate 31. The base plate 31 and the protective plate 32 together form two conveying channels, the first channel 34 and the second channel 35. Several electric rollers 33 are installed in the first channel 34 and the second channel 35 respectively. The electric rollers 33 are existing technology.

[0025] The sorting structure 4 includes a controller 401, a light curtain sensor 402, a second rotating shaft 403, a second motor 404, and a fixing rod 409. The controller 401 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the support frame 21. The light curtain sensors 402 are configured as a pair and are fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 21. The light curtain sensors 402 and the controller 401 are electrically connected. The second rotating shaft 403 is rotatably installed inside the base plate 31. The second motor 404 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the base plate 31, and the motor shaft of the second motor 404 and the second rotating shaft 409 are connected. The bottom end is fixedly connected, and a baffle 405 is fixedly installed on the second rotating shaft 403. Rubber pads 406 are fixedly installed on both sides of the baffle 405. A support rod 407 is fixedly installed on the top of the baffle 405 and on the side away from the second rotating shaft 403. Abutment blocks 408 are fixedly installed on both sides of the support rod 407. A fixing rod 409 is fixedly installed on the top of the protective plate 32. A limiting block 410 is fixedly installed at the end of the fixing rod 409. The limiting block 410 limits the abutment block 408. The second motor 404 and the controller 401 are electrically connected.

[0026] During operation, when the conveyor belt 24 transports two different sizes of lithium batteries, the first motor 25 is activated. The motor shaft of the first motor 25 drives the first rotating shaft 22 to rotate, thereby driving the roller 23 to rotate. The roller 23 drives the conveyor belt 24 for transmission, and the lithium batteries are transported by the conveyor belt 24. The baffle 405 is initially blocking the second channel 35, and the stop block 408 and the limit block 410 are in contact. When the lithium batteries are being transported, the light curtain sensor 402 scans the size of the lithium batteries and records the scanned data. The data is transmitted to the controller 401, which compares it with the data set by the user. When the scanned data is the same as or similar to the set data, the lithium battery is transferred to the base plate 31. When the lithium battery falls onto the base plate 31, it is blocked by the baffle 405 and buffered by the rubber pad 406. Because the base plate 31 has an inclined angle, the lithium battery continues to be transferred a distance according to its own inertia, so that the lithium battery enters the electric roller 33 in the first channel 34 and continues to be transferred in the first channel 34 by the electric roller 33.

[0027] When the data scanned by the light curtain sensor 402 for the lithium battery differs significantly from the set data, the data is transmitted to the controller 401. At this time, the controller 401 controls the second motor 404 to start. The motor shaft of the second motor 404 drives the second rotating shaft 403 to rotate. The second rotating shaft 403 drives the baffle 405 to rotate, causing the baffle 405 to block the first channel 34 and open the second channel 35. The abutment block 408 and the limiting block 410 contact each other, allowing the lithium battery to enter the electric roller 33 in the second channel 35 through the base plate 31 for continued conveying, thus achieving the sorting of different lithium batteries. By setting the abutment block 408 and the limiting block 410, the lithium battery is prevented from impacting the rubber pad 406 and the baffle 405, causing the baffle 405 to deflect, thereby protecting the second motor 404.

[0028] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
