AI Technical Summary
In the production process of cylindrical batteries, traditional manual insertion of core rods is inefficient and inconsistent, while the alignment deviation of the insertion rods by automated equipment can cause jamming or damage to the core during the insertion process.
The axial self-correcting mandrel insertion mechanism uses a straight-lined discharge channel in conjunction with an inclined inlet guide groove to guide the mandrel to automatically correct its axial direction using gravity and airflow thrust. Combined with a positioning and holding component and a vision positioning mechanism, it ensures the accuracy and efficiency of mandrel insertion.
It improves the accuracy and efficiency of mandrel insertion, avoids jamming, and enhances assembly quality and the adaptability of the equipment.
