Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of battery casing manufacturing, specifically, it relates to a metal casing plate length measuring and counting mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing of the metal casing of batteries, the length of the metal casing needs to be accurately measured and the quantity counted to meet the needs of production scheduling, quality control and cost accounting. Therefore, the metal casing length measuring and counting mechanism has become a key piece of equipment in the relevant production process.

[0003] Currently, most metal shell plate length measuring and counting equipment commonly used in the industry adopts a horizontal frame structure: this type of frame extends horizontally, with the length measuring and counting components and guide structures distributed in different sections of the horizontal frame. However, this horizontal structure has significant spatial adaptability defects. Because the frame requires a large horizontal installation area, in scenarios with compact production sites (such as small and medium-sized processing plants or workshops with multiple equipment operating collaboratively), the equipment layout is difficult and prone to spatial conflicts with other production equipment, leading to a reduction in the overall layout efficiency of the workshop.

[0004] In view of the above, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, improve the measurement accuracy of the length of metal shell plates, and improve the overall layout efficiency of the workshop, and to provide a metal shell plate length measuring and counting mechanism.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A metal shell plate length measuring and counting mechanism includes a vertical frame, on which a first guide component and a second guide component are vertically arranged, and a length measuring and counting component is arranged between the first guide component and the second guide component on the vertical frame.

[0008] The metal shell moves horizontally along the middle of the vertical frame, passing through the first guide component, the length measuring and counting component, and the second guide component in sequence.

[0009] Furthermore, the top of the vertical frame is provided with at least two lifting rings; the lifting rings and the vertical frame are connected by threads.

[0010] Furthermore, an eddy current flaw detection device is installed on the side of the vertical frame facing the metal shell plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the first guide component has the same structure as the second guide component, including two opposing clamping rollers; a metal shell plate is placed between the two clamping rollers, and the clamping rollers roll and abut against the surface of the metal shell plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the first guide component and the second guide component also include a through guide groove vertically opened on the vertical frame, and two sliding blocks are provided in the guide groove, with the pressure wheel installed on the sliding blocks;

[0013] Limiting plates are installed on the openings on both sides of the guide groove, which restrict the sliding block to slide within the guide groove.

[0014] Furthermore, both the first and second guide components on the vertical frame are equipped with support platforms;

[0015] An adjustment knob is provided on the support platform, and a screw rod that passes through the support platform is installed on the adjustment knob. Two sliding blocks have through threaded parts, and the thread lead of the threaded parts on the two sliding blocks is the same, but the rotation direction is opposite.

[0016] The screw is threaded to two sliding blocks through two threaded sections, forming a compound helical structure, which allows the two sliding blocks to slide in opposite directions along the guide groove.

[0017] Furthermore, the length measuring and counting component includes a guide member and a measuring part arranged opposite to each other. The guide member can move up and down along the vertical frame, and a metal shell plate is sandwiched between the measuring part and the guide part.

[0018] Furthermore, the measuring unit includes a measuring wheel that abuts against the surface of the metal shell plate and rotates as the metal shell plate moves. The measuring wheel is connected to a metering display unit, which is mounted on a vertical frame.

[0019] After adopting the above technical solution, the metal shell plate length measuring and counting mechanism provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art.

[0020] (1) The vertical frame design can effectively save horizontal installation space and adapt to the compact production site layout. By setting the first guide component and the second guide component vertically on the vertical frame, the horizontal movement path of the metal shell plate can be limited in both directions to avoid the metal shell plate from deviating or tilting during the movement. The metal shell plate passes through the two guide components and the middle length measuring and counting component in sequence, which can realize the continuous operation process and ensure that the length measuring and counting process is carried out in a stable movement state, significantly improving the accuracy of length measuring and counting. At the same time, there is no need for additional manual adjustment of the position of the metal shell plate, which improves the work efficiency.

[0021] (2) By setting at least two lifting rings on the top of the vertical frame, the entire mechanism can be easily transported, installed or repositioned by hoisting equipment. Compared with manual handling, it is more labor-saving and can avoid damage to components caused by uneven force on the mechanism during the handling process. The lifting rings and the vertical frame are connected by threads, which not only makes disassembly and assembly convenient and facilitates the maintenance or replacement of the lifting rings, but also ensures the stability of the connection between the lifting rings and the frame, prevents the lifting rings from falling off during hoisting and causing safety accidents, and improves the safety and flexibility of the mechanism's handling and installation.

[0022] (3) An eddy current flaw detection device is installed on the side of the vertical frame facing the metal shell plate. At the same time as the length counting is performed on the metal shell plate, the defects (such as cracks, impurities, etc.) on the surface or inside of the metal shell plate can be detected simultaneously. There is no need to set up a separate flaw detection process, which reduces production links and shortens the processing cycle. Moreover, the way the eddy current flaw detection device is set facing the metal shell plate can ensure that the flaw detection area corresponds precisely to the movement path of the metal shell plate, avoiding missed detection. While completing the length measurement, the quality of the metal shell plate is guaranteed, realizing the integrated operation of "length counting + quality inspection".

Detailed Implementation

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "inner", and "outer" 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.

[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0033] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a metal shell plate length measuring and counting mechanism, including a vertical frame 1, on which a first guide component and a second guide component are vertically arranged, and a length measuring and counting component is arranged between the first guide component and the second guide component; the metal shell plate moves horizontally along the middle of the vertical frame 1 and passes through the first guide component, the length measuring and counting component and the second guide component in sequence.

[0035] The vertical frame design effectively saves horizontal installation space and adapts to compact production site layouts. By vertically setting the first and second guide components on the vertical frame, the horizontal movement path of the metal shell plate can be bidirectionally limited, preventing the metal shell plate from deviating or tilting during movement. The metal shell plate passes through the two guide components and the middle length measuring and counting component in sequence, enabling a continuous operation process. This ensures that the length measuring and counting process is carried out in a stable movement state, significantly improving the accuracy of length measuring and counting. At the same time, no additional manual adjustment of the metal shell plate position is required, improving work efficiency.

[0036] As an embodiment of this application, the vertical frame 1 includes a base plate and a support part, the support part is vertically arranged on the base plate, and a reinforcing rib is provided between the lower side of the support part and the base plate.

[0037] Furthermore, the gap between the first guide component, the length measuring and counting component, and the second guide component for the metal shell plate is horizontally positioned. If the production line requires it, the relative positions of the first guide component, the length measuring and counting component, and the second guide component on the vertical frame 1 can be adjusted to change the moving direction of the metal shell plate.

[0038] Furthermore, at least two lifting rings 4 are provided at the top of the vertical frame 1; the lifting rings 4 and the vertical frame 1 are connected by threads.

[0039] By setting at least two lifting rings 4 on the top of the vertical frame 1, the entire mechanism can be easily transported, installed, or repositioned using hoisting equipment. This is more labor-saving than manual handling and can avoid damage to components caused by uneven stress during transport. The lifting rings 4 are connected to the vertical frame 1 by threads, which not only makes disassembly and assembly convenient and facilitates the maintenance or replacement of the lifting rings 4, but also ensures the stability of the connection between the lifting rings 4 and the frame, preventing the lifting rings 4 from falling off during hoisting and causing safety accidents, thus improving the safety and flexibility of the mechanism's handling and installation.

[0040] As an embodiment of this application, an eddy current testing device 2 is provided on the side of the vertical frame 1 facing the metal shell plate.

[0041] An eddy current flaw detector 2 is installed on the side of the vertical frame 1 facing the metal shell plate. This allows for the simultaneous detection of surface or internal defects (such as cracks and impurities) on the metal shell plate while length measurement and counting are performed. This eliminates the need for a separate flaw detection process, reducing production steps and shortening the processing cycle. Furthermore, the way the eddy current flaw detector 2 is positioned facing the metal shell plate ensures that the flaw detection area precisely corresponds to the movement path of the metal shell plate, avoiding missed detections. This ensures the quality of the metal shell plate while completing length measurement, achieving integrated operation of "length measurement and counting + quality inspection".

[0042] Furthermore, the first guide component has the same structure as the second guide component, including two opposing clamping rollers 3; a metal shell plate is placed between the two clamping rollers 3, and the clamping rollers 3 roll and abut against the surface of the metal shell plate.

[0043] The first guide component and the second guide component adopt a structure of two opposing clamping rollers 3, and the clamping rollers 3 roll and abut against the surface of the metal shell plate. The opposing clamping rollers 3 can form a stable clamping on the metal shell plate from both sides, further enhancing the guiding effect and preventing the metal shell plate from moving.

[0044] In existing technologies, sliding friction is often directly used between the metal shell plate and the guide component. The rolling contact method can convert the sliding friction between the metal shell plate and the guide component into rolling friction, which can significantly reduce frictional resistance, prevent scratches and wear on the surface of the metal shell plate due to friction, protect the appearance and performance of the workpiece, and at the same time ensure the smooth movement of the metal shell plate and reduce the impact of movement resistance on the length measurement and counting accuracy.

[0045] As an embodiment of this application, the first guide component and the second guide component further include a through guide groove vertically opened on the vertical frame 1, and two sliding blocks are provided in the guide groove, with the pressure wheel 3 mounted on the sliding blocks;

[0046] Limiting plates 8 are provided on the openings on both sides of the guide groove, and the limiting plates 8 restrict the sliding block to slide within the guide groove.

[0047] By creating a vertically penetrating guide groove on the vertical frame 1 and placing a sliding block with a clamping wheel 3 installed inside the groove, the sliding block can move along the vertical groove, thereby driving the clamping wheel 3 to adjust its position up and down. This allows the guide component to adapt to metal shell plates of different heights, improving the versatility of the mechanism. The limiting plates 8 with openings on both sides of the guide groove can effectively limit the movement range of the sliding block, preventing the sliding block from falling out of the groove, ensuring the structural stability of the sliding block and clamping wheel 3 during adjustment, avoiding guide failure due to the sliding block falling out, and further ensuring the normal movement of the metal shell plate and the length counting.

[0048] Furthermore, both the first guide component and the second guide component on the vertical frame 1 are equipped with support platforms 5;

[0049] An adjustment knob is provided on the support platform 5, and a screw rod that passes through the support platform 5 is installed on the adjustment knob. Two sliding blocks have through threaded parts, and the thread lead of the threaded parts on the two sliding blocks is the same, but the rotation direction is opposite.

[0050] The screw is threaded to two sliding blocks through two threaded sections, forming a compound helical structure, which allows the two sliding blocks to slide in opposite directions along the guide groove.

[0051] The adjustment knob on the support platform 5 works in conjunction with the screw of the compound spiral structure. Simply turn the adjustment knob to drive the two sliding blocks to slide in opposite directions along the guide groove through the screw. There is no need to adjust the two sliding blocks separately, making the operation convenient and efficient.

[0052] Since the thread lead of the two sliding blocks is the same and the rotation direction is opposite, the movement distance of the two sliding blocks is always synchronized when the screw rotates. This ensures that the two opposing clamping wheels 3 always clamp the metal shell plate symmetrically, avoiding the metal shell plate from shifting due to unilateral adjustment. Furthermore, the direct rotation of the same screw makes the reverse clearance of the two threaded parts relative to the screw the same, further improving the guiding accuracy. At the same time, it simplifies the adjustment operation, reduces the error of manual adjustment, and ensures the consistency of the guiding effect under different working conditions.

[0053] As an embodiment of this application, the length measuring and counting component includes a guide member and a measuring part arranged opposite to each other. The guide member can move up and down along the vertical frame 1, and a metal shell plate is sandwiched between the measuring part and the guide member. The guide member in the length measuring and counting component can move up and down along the vertical frame 1, and its position can be flexibly adjusted according to the thickness of the metal shell plate, so that the guide member and the measuring part stably clamp the metal shell plate, ensuring that the metal shell plate always maintains reliable contact with the measuring part during the length measuring and counting process, avoiding poor contact due to changes in the thickness of the metal shell plate; through the clamping cooperation between the guide member and the measuring part, the metal shell plate can also form additional positioning, reducing vibration or displacement during the movement of the metal shell plate, providing a stable measurement reference for the length measuring and counting component, and improving the accuracy and stability of the length measuring and counting.

[0054] The guide component is similar to the first and second guide components, including a pressure wheel 3 and a sliding block, as well as a guide groove that runs through the vertical frame 1. A baffle 7 is provided at the opening of the guide groove to limit the sliding block. The guide component differs from the first and second guide components in that it has a hole directly on the vertical frame 1, and an adjustment knob is provided on the upper side of the hole. The screw directly engages with the single sliding block.

[0055] Furthermore, the first guide component and the second guide component can also be set up in the same way as the guide component, with only a single sliding block. The lower sliding block is fixed on the guide groove or the vertical frame 1, and the position of the pressure wheel 3 relative to the metal shell plate is adjusted by adjusting the position of the sliding block on one side.

[0056] Furthermore, the horizontal cross-section of the sliding block is T-shaped, with the horizontal part of the T sliding within the guide groove and the vertical part of the T extending out of the guide groove to form an installation platform, on which a threaded portion is formed.

[0057] As an embodiment of this application, the measuring unit includes a measuring wheel that abuts against the surface of a metal shell plate and rotates as the metal shell plate moves. The measuring wheel is connected to a metering display unit 6, which is mounted on the vertical frame 1.

[0058] Furthermore, the measurement display unit 6 is positioned slightly below the eye level of the operator on the vertical frame 1, making it easy for the operator to observe directly from the workstation and avoiding data reading errors caused by poor observation angles. This further ensures the accuracy of length measurement and counting, as well as the convenience of operation. (In this embodiment, it can be directly installed at the top of the vertical frame 1, because production lines that can be used with this utility model are often low in height, making maintenance easier and ensuring consistent data collection, and can be used in conjunction with other equipment on the production line.)

[0059] Furthermore, elastic elements are provided at the contact points between the measuring wheel and the clamping wheel 3 and the metal shell plate to prevent damage to the metal shell plate.

[0060] In use, the lifting ring 4 is connected to the threaded top of the vertical frame 1, and the entire mechanism is moved to the production station by the hoisting equipment. It is placed stably by relying on the bottom plate of the frame. The reinforcing ribs between the bottom plate and the support enhance the overall rigidity of the frame and prevent the frame from shaking during subsequent operations.

[0061] According to the thickness / height specifications of the metal shell plate to be processed, rotate the adjustment knobs on the support platform 5 of the first guide component and the second guide component. The knobs drive the screw of the compound spiral structure to rotate. Since the lead of the threaded part of the two sliding blocks is the same and the rotation direction is opposite, the screw drives the sliding blocks to slide in opposite directions along the guide groove until the distance between the two clamping wheels 3 matches the thickness of the metal shell plate. At the same time, adjust the adjustment knob of the guide component in the length measuring and counting component. Drive the sliding block to move through the single screw so that the distance between the clamping wheel 3 of the guide component and the measuring part matches the metal shell plate, ensuring stable clamping.

[0062] Confirm the movement path of the eddy current flaw detector 2 toward the metal shell plate to ensure that the flaw detection area covers the full width of the shell plate; check the installation position of the metering display unit 6 to ensure that the data is clearly read and that the elastic element in contact with the metal shell plate by the measuring wheel is undamaged.

[0063] The metal shell plate enters the mechanism horizontally along the middle of the vertical frame 1. It first passes through the two opposing clamping rollers 3 of the first guide component. The clamping rollers 3 roll against the shell plate surface through elastic elements, limiting the shell plate from both sides to prevent the shell plate from shifting. At the same time, the rolling friction reduces the resistance to the movement of the shell plate and protects the shell plate surface from scratches.

[0064] The shell plate, after passing through the first guide, enters the length measuring and counting component. The guide clamping wheel 3 and the measuring wheel of the measuring unit clamp the shell plate together. When the shell plate moves, it drives the measuring wheel to rotate. The measuring wheel converts the linear displacement into rotation and transmits it synchronously to the measurement display unit 6, which displays the shell plate length data in real time and counts it automatically. At the same time, the eddy current flaw detection device 2 on the side of the vertical frame 1 performs synchronous detection on the moving shell plate, identifying surface or internal cracks, impurities and other defects, so as to realize the simultaneous "length measurement + quality inspection".

[0065] After completing length measurement and flaw detection, the shell plate continues to move, passing through the second guide component. The second guide component has the same structure as the first guide component, and the shell plate is again limited on both sides to ensure that the shell plate moves stably throughout the entire process. Finally, it is smoothly output to the next production stage. The entire process does not require manual adjustment of the shell plate position, realizing continuous automated operation.

[0066] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-mentioned technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. The implementation schemes in the above embodiments can also be further combined or replaced. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
