Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery assembly technology, specifically to an insulating ring assembly mechanism that is compatible with batteries of various specifications. Background Technology

[0002] An insulating ring is an important component of a battery, installed at the bottom of the negative terminal. Its function is to prevent the negative terminal from coming into contact with the air when the battery is stored for a long time, thus preventing the loss of internal charge. During the battery manufacturing process, the insulating ring is first placed at the negative terminal, and then pressed onto the battery using an insulating ring assembly device.

[0003] Existing battery insulation ring assembly equipment mainly includes a pressure rod, a push rod, and a battery slot between the pressure rod and the push rod. The battery slot matches the size of the battery to be processed and magnetically attracts the battery's metal casing. The pressure rod and push rod press the insulation ring onto the battery. However, in actual production, different battery models are produced, and these batteries have different sizes. This means that the new battery model cannot be matched with the battery slot, which may result in battery misalignment. This affects the subsequent assembly of the insulation ring by the pressure rod and push rod, thus requiring the replacement of the matching insulation ring assembly equipment, significantly increasing production costs. Furthermore, with continuous societal progress, mechanized and automated battery production is gradually becoming a trend. Replacing the insulation ring assembly equipment requires shutting down the entire production line, which is not only troublesome but also affects production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide an insulating ring assembly mechanism that is low in cost, simple to operate, and compatible with batteries of various specifications.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is to provide an insulating ring assembly mechanism that is compatible with batteries of various specifications and has the following structure:

[0006] The device includes a base rotatably connected to a frame and several insulating ring assembly assemblies spaced circumferentially along the outer periphery of the base. A chuck coaxially mounted on the base is connected to the base. The outer periphery of the chuck has several first and second slots, each corresponding to an insulating ring assembly, evenly distributed circumferentially. These first and second slots are alternately arranged. The chuck is rotatably connected to the base and can switch between a first position and a second position, thereby positioning the first or second slot at the assembly station of the corresponding insulating ring assembly. The chuck is equipped with a positioning component that locks its relative position, allowing the chuck to be locked in either the first or second position.

[0007] With the above structure, the insulating ring assembly mechanism of this utility model, which is compatible with batteries of various specifications, has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0008] This invention features alternating first and second slots on the outer peripheral wall of a chuck. These slots accommodate two different battery specifications. When the chuck is rotated to the first position, the first slot is positioned at the assembly station of the corresponding insulating ring assembly component. The chuck is then locked by a positioning component, allowing for the assembly of the insulating ring for the corresponding battery specification. To assemble a battery of a different specification, the chuck is rotated to the second position, where the second slot is positioned at the assembly station of the corresponding insulating ring assembly component. The chuck is then locked by the positioning component, enabling the assembly of the insulating ring for the other battery specification. This insulating ring assembly mechanism is simple to operate, low in cost, and compatible with the assembly of two battery specifications.

[0009] Preferably, the positioning component includes a positioning bolt, the base has a through hole, and the chuck has a first positioning hole and a second positioning hole. The through hole is located on the rotation trajectory of the first and second positioning holes, and the connecting end of the positioning bolt passes through the through hole and connects to either the first or second positioning hole. Aligning the through hole with the first positioning hole, and then passing the positioning bolt through the through hole and inserting it into the first positioning hole, locks the chuck in a first position. Removing the positioning bolt, rotating the chuck to align the through hole with the second positioning hole, and then passing the positioning bolt through the through hole and inserting it into the second positioning hole, locks the chuck in a second position.

[0010] Preferably, with the base's pivot axis as the center, the included angle α between the first and second positioning holes and the included angle β between the adjacent first and second slots are the same. With this setting, when the chuck rotates from the first position to the second position, the second slot rotates exactly to the original position of the first slot (i.e., the assembly station of the insulating ring assembly assembly).

[0011] Preferably, the base is connected to a guide disk coaxially arranged thereon. The outer circumferential wall of the guide disk has several positioning slots evenly distributed circumferentially, each corresponding to an insulating ring assembly component. One side of each positioning slot has an arc-shaped guide portion for guiding the input battery into the assembly station of the insulating ring assembly component. When the battery is input into its corresponding slot (e.g., the first slot), the guide portion prevents the battery from accidentally getting stuck in its adjacent slot (i.e., the second slot), thus avoiding interference with subsequent assembly processes.

[0012] Preferably, there are two chucks, which are arranged vertically on the base; the first chuck slot and the second chuck slot are magnetically attracted to the battery casing.

[0013] Preferably, the insulating ring assembly includes a pressure rod, a guide sleeve, a push rod, and a guide block; the guide sleeve and the guide block are connected to the outer peripheral wall of the base and are located on the upper and lower sides of the assembly station, respectively; a first guide rail is provided on the frame above the guide sleeve, arranged in a ring around the circumference of the base, and a first guide hole is provided on the guide sleeve, penetrating its upper and lower end faces; one end of the pressure rod is slidably connected to the first guide rail, and the other end passes downward through the first guide hole; a second guide rail is provided on the frame below the guide block, arranged in a ring around the circumference of the base, and a second guide hole is provided on the guide block, penetrating its upper and lower end faces; one end of the push rod is slidably connected to the second guide rail, and the other end passes upward through the second guide hole; when the base drives the pressure rod and the push rod to rotate circumferentially, the pressure rod and the push rod move up and down along the tracks of the first guide rail and the second guide rail, respectively.

[0014] Preferably, rollers are connected to the upper end of the pressure rod and the lower end of the push rod, and the two rollers are rotatably connected to the corresponding first guide rail and second guide rail. The rollers can reduce the friction between them and the first guide rail and second guide rail, making the movement of the pressure rod and the push rod smoother. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. At the same time, the terms "first", "second", etc., are only used to distinguish the names of various components and do not have a primary or secondary relationship. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0025] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model discloses an insulating ring assembly mechanism that is compatible with batteries of various specifications: it includes a base 1 that is rotatably connected to a frame and several insulating ring assembly components 2 that are circumferentially distributed along the outer peripheral wall of the base 1.

[0026] like Figure 6 As shown, the insulating ring assembly 2 includes a pressure rod 21, a guide sleeve 22, a push rod 23, and a guide block 24; the guide sleeve 22 and the guide block 24 are connected to the outer peripheral wall of the base 1, and an assembly station is provided between the guide sleeve 22 and the guide block 24; a first guide rail 25 is provided on the frame above the guide sleeve 22, arranged in a ring around the circumference of the base 1; the guide sleeve 22 has a first guide hole penetrating its upper and lower end faces; one end of the pressure rod 21 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 25, and the other end passes downward through the first guide hole; the frame Below the guide block 24, there is a second guide rail 26 arranged in a ring around the base 1. The guide block 24 has a second guide hole that passes through its upper and lower end faces. One end of the push rod 23 is slidably connected to the second guide rail 26, and the other end passes upward through the second guide hole. When the base 1 drives the pressure rod 21 and the push rod 23 to rotate circumferentially, the pressure rod 21 and the push rod 23 move up and down along the trajectory of the first guide rail 25 and the second guide rail 26, respectively, thereby getting closer to or away from the battery located at the assembly station. This is the prior art, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0027] Rollers 27 are connected to the upper end of the pressure rod 21 and the lower end of the push rod 23. The two rollers 27 are tactilely connected to the corresponding first guide rail 25 and second guide rail 26. The rollers 27 can reduce the friction between them and the first guide rail 25 and second guide rail 26, making the movement of the pressure rod 21 and the push rod 23 smoother.

[0028] For example Figures 1-5As shown, a chuck 3 is connected to the base 1 and is coaxially arranged therewith. The outer peripheral wall of the chuck 3 has a plurality of first slots 31 and second slots 32 that correspond one-to-one with the insulating ring assembly 2. The first slots 31 and second slots 32 are alternately arranged. The chuck 3 can be circumferentially rotatably connected to the base 1 and can switch between a first position and a second position, so that the first slot 31 or the second slot 32 is located at the assembly position of the corresponding insulating ring assembly 2. The chuck 3 is provided with a positioning component 4 that can lock its relative position. The positioning component 4 is used to lock the chuck 3 in the first position or the second position.

[0029] This invention features alternating first slots 31 and second slots 32 on the outer peripheral wall of a chuck 3. The first slots 31 and second slots 32 are magnetically attracted to the battery casing, and can accommodate two different battery specifications. When the chuck 3 is rotated to the first position, the first slot 31 is positioned at the assembly station of the corresponding insulating ring assembly component 2. Then, the chuck 3 is locked by the positioning component 4, allowing for the assembly of the insulating ring for the corresponding battery specification. When assembling a battery of another specification, the chuck 3 is rotated to the second position, at which point the second slot 32 is positioned at the assembly station of the corresponding insulating ring assembly component 2. Then, the chuck 3 is locked by the positioning component 4, allowing for the assembly of the insulating ring for the other battery specification. This insulating ring assembly mechanism is simple to operate, low in cost, and compatible with the assembly of two battery specifications.

[0030] The positioning component 4 includes a positioning bolt 41. The base 1 has a through hole 11, and the chuck 3 has a first positioning hole 33 and a second positioning hole 34. The through hole 11 is located on the rotation trajectory of the first positioning hole 33 and the second positioning hole 34. The connecting end of the positioning bolt 41 passes through the through hole 11 and is connected to the first positioning hole 33 or the second positioning hole 34.

[0031] Align the through hole 11 with the first positioning hole 33, then pass the positioning bolt 41 through the through hole 11 and insert it into the first positioning hole 33 to lock the chuck 3 in the first position; remove the positioning bolt 41, rotate the chuck 3 to align the through hole 11 with the second positioning hole 34, then pass the positioning bolt 41 through the through hole 11 and insert it into the second positioning hole 34 to lock the chuck 3 in the second position.

[0032] In actual processing, it is necessary to take the rotating shaft of the base 1 as the center to ensure that the included angle α between the first positioning hole 33 and the second positioning hole 34 and the included angle β between the adjacent first slot 31 and the second slot 32 are the same. In this way, when the chuck 3 rotates from the first position to the second position, the second slot 32 just rotates to the original position of the first slot 31 (i.e., the assembly station of the insulating ring assembly assembly).

[0033] like Figure 5As shown, a guide disk 5 is coaxially mounted on the base 1. The outer circumferential wall of the guide disk 5 has several circumferentially distributed positioning grooves 51 corresponding one-to-one with the insulating ring assembly 2. One side of each positioning groove 51 has an arc-shaped guide portion 52 for guiding the input battery into the assembly station of the insulating ring assembly 2. When the battery is input into its corresponding slot (e.g., the first slot), the guide portion 52 prevents the battery from accidentally getting stuck in its adjacent slot (i.e., the second slot), thus avoiding interference with subsequent assembly processes. Since the guide disk 5 is fixedly connected to the base 1, a through hole 11 can be provided on the guide disk 5, facilitating assembly.

[0034] Two chucks 3 can be set, with an upper and lower spacing on the base 1. This can reduce the amount of material used in the chucks 3 while ensuring the battery is stable, thereby saving costs.

[0035] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
