Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wound battery processing technology, and in particular to an assembly and casing device for an aqueous zinc-ion wound battery. Background Technology

[0002] A wound battery is a type of battery made by winding positive and negative electrodes and a separator in layers. Also known as a cell, it generally consists of a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator, and an electrolyte. The positive electrode, separator, and negative electrode are stacked in sequence and then wound into a structure similar to a "Swiss roll." The tabs are usually located at both ends of the cell. During winding, the tabs need to protrude from the cell. During assembly into the casing, the tabs at the same end need to be arranged, flattened, and connected together as electrodes before being sealed into the casing. There are two main challenges in assembling cylindrical aqueous zinc-ion wound batteries: first, the winding cell has multiple tabs at its ends, requiring arrangement and connection; misalignment of the tabs can cause poor contact; second, there is the issue of coaxiality between the cell and the casing. The wound cell is not a perfectly regular cylinder after spiral winding; there are diameter errors. When the cell is assembled into the casing, larger diameter cells are more prone to separator paper damage. Currently, there are two main methods for battery cell assembly: manual assembly, which effectively solves the two problems mentioned above, but is slow and unsuitable for modern production demands; and automated production, which significantly improves efficiency, but still fails to adequately address the two problems, resulting in a low yield. Therefore, we need a method that can improve the efficiency of battery cell assembly through automation, and also solve the problems of battery cell tab alignment and connection, as well as the damage-resistant assembly, ensuring the quality of battery cell production. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an assembly and casing device for an aqueous zinc-ion wound battery.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, an assembly and casing device for an aqueous zinc-ion wound battery includes a cell feeding mechanism for feeding the cells, a hot-drilling mechanism for winding and heating the cells, a measuring mechanism for detecting the cell diameter, a turnover mechanism for transporting and handling the cells, a casing feeding mechanism for feeding the casing, a conveying mechanism for conveying the casing, a stamping mechanism for stamping the pad, a turntable mechanism for arranging and inspecting the tabs of the cells and assembling the cells with the pads, a casing assembly mechanism for assembling the cells and casings, a unloading mechanism for transporting the assembled battery, and a discharging mechanism for discharging the battery. The cell feeding mechanism, hot-drilling mechanism, measuring mechanism, turnover mechanism, casing feeding mechanism, conveying mechanism, stamping mechanism, turntable mechanism, casing assembly mechanism, unloading mechanism, and discharging mechanism are adapted to be arranged on a machine base.

[0005] The battery winding assembly and casing device is equipped with two feeding lines. The cell feeding line sequentially transports the cells through a cell loading mechanism, a hot-drilling mechanism, a measuring mechanism, and a turnover mechanism, completing the thermosetting and specification measurement of the wound cells. The casing feeding line sequentially transports the casings in batches through a casing loading mechanism and a conveying mechanism. Then, the cells and casings are assembled on a turntable mechanism. A stamping mechanism on one side of the turntable mechanism provides a pad for cell assembly. The cells and casings are then assembled at the casing insertion mechanism, and then flipped and conveyed to the discharge mechanism for discharge by a feeding mechanism. The entire process of cell processing, inspection, casing installation, flipping, and discharge is sequential and completes a highly automated production process. The inspection process effectively removes defective cells and cells with poor tab contact, ensuring the coaxiality of the cells and casings after installation and the conductivity of the product's tabs. At the same time, the fully automated production process ensures high-efficiency cell casing production.

[0006] Preferably, the turntable mechanism includes a turntable and multiple mounting seats disposed on the turntable. The turntable is arranged in sequence according to its rotation direction as follows: a visual inspection component for inspecting the battery cell; a tab clamping and straightening component for vertically clamping and straightening the tabs; a component for placing the face pad and the face pad for mounting the battery cell; a tab bending component for horizontally bending the tabs; a flattening inspection component for inspecting the tab bending effect; a defective removal component for removing defective products; a flattening component for flattening and tidying the tabs; and a battery cell ejection component. The tab clamping and straightening components and the tab bending components are respectively provided with a tab alignment component in the preceding process. The tab alignment component drives the mounting seat to rotate and senses and positions the tabs. The number of tab clamping and straightening components and the number of tab bending components are adapted to the number of tabs of the battery cell. The tab alignment component corresponds one-to-one with the tab clamping and straightening components and the tab bending components.

[0007] The turntable mechanism is equipped with a visual inspection component and a flatness inspection component to detect whether the battery cell is damaged and the flatness of the tabs, ensuring the integrity of the battery cell. The tab alignment component provides precise tab positioning for subsequent tab clamping and bending, ensuring that there is no positional deviation of the tabs that could cause poor contact during subsequent processing. Substandard battery cells are further rejected by the defective removal component. Finally, before the battery cell is ejected from the casing, a flatness component is set up to further flatten the flatness of the bent tabs, ensuring product quality.

[0008] Preferably, the defective removal component includes a corresponding waste-kicking chute plate and a waste-kicking motor. The waste-kicking chute plate is provided with a waste-kicking chute. The output end of the waste-kicking motor is fixedly connected to a waste-kicking connecting rod. The other end of the waste-kicking connecting rod is respectively connected to a waste-kicking guide post and a waste-kicking slide bar. The waste-kicking guide post is slidably connected to the waste-kicking chute. The waste-kicking chute plate is provided with a waste-kicking guide block that is slidably connected to the waste-kicking slide bar and guides the waste-kicking slide bar. The end of the waste-kicking slide bar away from the waste-kicking connecting rod is connected to a waste-kicking cylinder clamp.

[0009] The setting of the waste kicking motor and waste kicking chute drives the waste kicking slide to move in an undulating stroke with the waste kicking guide post as the sliding point, which drives the cylinder clamp to pick up the unqualified battery cell. The undulating motion is to prevent the cylinder clamp and the battery cell from interfering with each other.

[0010] Preferably, the measuring mechanism includes a measuring component and a first conveying component. The measuring component includes a measuring bracket, on which an upper measuring plate and a first pushing plate are mounted. The bottom surface of the upper measuring plate is horizontal. The upper measuring plate is connected to a measuring cylinder that drives it to move back and forth. The first pushing plate is connected to a first pushing cylinder that drives it to move back and forth. Below the upper measuring plate, there is a lower measuring plate that corresponds to it vertically and has a horizontal upper surface. The lower measuring plate can slide up and down and is connected to a buffer spring that supports its movement. At the front end of the lower measuring plate, there is a vertically arranged first baffle plate and a first guide plate that can be raised and lowered along the first baffle plate. The first guide plate is connected to a first guiding cylinder that drives it to rise and fall. At the upper end of the first guide plate, there is a first guiding slope that guides the battery cell into the first measuring plate. At the front end of the first guiding slope, there is also a slanted connecting plate that connects to it and guides the battery cell into the first guiding slope.

[0011] The measuring mechanism guides the battery cell into the upper surface of the lower measuring plate via a liftable first guide plate. A buffer spring presses the battery cell onto the upper measuring plate, and a measuring cylinder drives the upper measuring plate to move, sequentially rotating the battery cell. By cooperating with any existing detector, the maximum and minimum diameter of the battery cell during rotation can be detected, and whether the fluctuation of the battery cell diameter exceeds a predetermined value can be detected. After measurement, the first pusher cylinder drives the first pusher plate to push the battery cell out. By measuring the battery cell diameter, the pass rate of battery cell size specifications is ensured, avoiding the problem of the battery cell's center not being coaxial with the shell after it is inserted into the casing. The measuring mechanism automatically guides the material and detects the pushed-out battery cell, achieving high efficiency and realizing the purpose of automated testing.

[0012] Preferably, the first conveying assembly includes a first conveyor belt disposed at the rear end of the lower measuring plate, the first conveyor belt being connected to a first drive motor for driving its operation, and a defective push plate for pushing the battery cell away from the first conveyor belt being disposed at the end of the first conveyor belt in the conveying direction, the defective push plate being connected to a defective push cylinder for driving its operation.

[0013] The first conveying component is set up to convey the battery cells that have completed the measurement. For battery cells that fail the measurement, a defective pusher cylinder is set up to drive the defective pusher plate to push away the defective products.

[0014] Preferably, the turnover mechanism includes a conveying component and a turnover component. The conveying component includes a corresponding conveying slide plate and a conveying motor.

The conveying slide plate is provided with a transversely arranged conveying transverse guide rail. A conveying transverse slider is slidably connected to the conveying transverse guide rail. The conveying transverse slider is connected to a vertically arranged conveying strip that matches it and can slide up and down. The conveying strip is fixedly connected to the conveying guide post. The conveying strip is also fixedly connected to a conveying cylinder clamp. The turnover component includes a rotatably arranged turnover block. The turnover block is provided with multiple turnover sleeves. The turnover sleeves are arranged in a circular array around the turnover block. The turnover block is connected to a turnover motor that drives its rotation.

[0015] The turnover assembly holds the battery cells in a turnover sleeve and then drives the battery cells to move in a circular motion to change direction. The conveying assembly uses a conveying cylinder to clamp and remove the battery cells from the turnover sleeve. The conveying assembly uses a conveying motor to drive the conveying guide column to move in a cam motion along the conveying slide. The conveying guide column drives the conveying cylinder to move synchronously, thereby realizing the reciprocating motion of the conveying cylinder. The horizontally arranged conveying guide rails and the vertically arranged conveying strips further guide the lateral and vertical movement of the conveying cylinder, better ensuring that the movement of the conveying cylinder follows the predetermined rules.

[0016] Preferably, the housing insertion mechanism includes a housing insertion bracket and a housing insertion wheel that is horizontally placed and rotatably mounted on the housing insertion bracket.

Below the housing insertion wheel is a housing insertion anti-detachment plate that rotates with the housing insertion wheel. The housing insertion anti-detachment plate is connected to multiple housing insertion support plates that extend downwards from the housing insertion slots. A housing insertion spring is connected between the housing insertion anti-detachment plate and the housing insertion support plates.

[0017] The casing insertion mechanism is equipped with a casing insertion groove to support the casing. The casing is rotated and processed by casing insertion wheels. A casing insertion hole is also provided for the battery cell to pass through. A pressing block is placed above the casing insertion hole to drive the casing and battery cell into the casing for installation. A casing insertion support plate is provided, which presses the casing inward after it supports the casing. After installation, it can automatically pop out to support the battery cell and prevent it from falling out. This efficiently completes the battery cell casing assembly operation. Furthermore, utilizing the steering characteristics of the casing insertion wheels, the battery cell automatically turns after being inserted into the casing to connect to the next process.

[0018] Preferably, the hot-drilling mechanism includes a hot-drilling machine base and a hot-drilling guide rail disposed on the hot-drilling machine base. A slidable front slide and a rear slide are disposed on the hot-drilling guide rail. A heating component is disposed on the front slide, and a hot-drilling motor is disposed on the rear slide. The output end of the hot-drilling motor is connected to a probe. The probe extends forward through the heating component. A unidirectional linear module is disposed on the hot-drilling machine base to drive the front slide and the rear slide back and forth along the hot-drilling guide rail. A clamping cylinder is also disposed on one side of the probe along its length direction. The output direction of the clamping cylinder is consistent with that of the probe.

[0019] The hot-drilling mechanism calibrates the inner diameter of the wound battery cell using a probe, and then heats the diaphragm of the wound battery cell to solidify it and prevent it from springing back. The probe and heating assembly are driven to approach and move away from the battery cell by a unidirectional linear module, and the hot-drilling motor drives the probe to rotate to calibrate the inner diameter of the battery cell's hole. The process is convenient, simple, and highly efficient.

[0024] The battery cell loading mechanism is equipped with a loading conveyor wheel connected to the loading conveyor belt. The loading conveyor wheel is driven by a loading drive motor, which can realize the precise flipping and conveying of the battery cells. The loading conveyor wheel can be connected to the hot-drilling mechanism to continue conveying the battery cells to the next process after hot-rolling and curing. It is highly efficient, compact in structure, and saves layout space.

[0025] Preferably, the discharge mechanism includes multiple discharge components connected in sequence for finished product transmission. The end-to-end connection of adjacent discharge components is a transmission connection in an angled direction.

The discharge pusher is connected to a discharge cylinder that drives it to operate. The discharge component includes a discharge conveyor belt and a discharge motor that drives it to operate. Discharge limit plates are provided on both sides of the discharge conveyor belt.

[0026] The discharge mechanism is equipped with multiple sets of discharge components connected by angled transmission, which can better adapt to the layout space of the machine and optimize the spatial layout of the mechanism. In order to prevent the transmission from being obstructed at the angle, a discharge pusher is set for auxiliary pushing.

[0027] Preferably, the shell feeding mechanism includes a shell feeding frame, on which a feeding platform and multiple stacked shell feeding boxes are provided. Each shell feeding box is connected to a feeding lifting component that drives it to move up and down.

[0053] In one implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the battery cell loading mechanism 10 includes a loading conveyor belt 11 and a loading drive wheel 12. The loading conveyor belt 11 is connected to a loading conveyor motor 13 that drives its operation, and the loading drive wheel 12 is connected to a loading drive motor 14 that drives its operation. The loading conveyor belt 11 is provided with multiple loading conveyor slots 15 for accommodating battery cells, and the loading drive wheel 12 is arranged in a circular array with multiple loading reversing slots 16 for accommodating battery cells. A loading ramp 17 is also provided between the loading conveyor belt 11 and the loading conveyor wheel 12 to guide the battery cells through. The battery cells are placed in the loading conveyor slots 15 and transported by the loading conveyor belt 11. The battery cells enter the loading ramp 17 from the end of the travel of the loading conveyor belt 11, and then fall into the loading reversing slots 16, where they are reversibly transported by the loading drive wheel 12. A feeding sensor 18 is provided on the feeding ramp 17. The function of the feeding sensor 18 is to sense whether any battery cell is passing through the feeding ramp 17. Any existing technology can be used to implement this. The feeding drive motor 14 is connected to a feeding induction disk 19 that rotates synchronously with it. The battery cell feeding mechanism 10 is provided with a feeding reversing sensor 191 corresponding to the feeding induction disk 19.

The probe 27 extends forward through the heating component 25, which heats the probe 27. The heating component 25 can be implemented using any existing technology. The machine base 21 is equipped with unidirectional linear modules that drive the front slide block 23 and the rear slide block 24 to slide back and forth along the guide rail 22. These unidirectional linear modules can be implemented using any existing technology. Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the unidirectional linear module, the front slide 23 is connected to a front slide cylinder 231 that drives it to slide. Figure 3 As shown, in one implementation of the unidirectional linear module, a probe belt 28 is provided on the hot-drilling machine 21. The probe belt 28 is connected to a probe motor 281 that drives its operation. The rear slide 24 is fixed at any position along the linear stroke of the probe belt 28. A clamping cylinder 29 is also provided on one side of the probe 27 along its length direction, and the output direction of the clamping cylinder 29 is consistent with that of the probe 27. After the battery cell moves to the predetermined position, the output end of the clamping cylinder 29 extends to clamp the battery cell. The probe motor 281 drives the probe belt 28 to rotate, causing the rear slide 24 to move forward. At this time, the probe 27 extends into the battery cell's shaft position. The hot-hole motor 26 drives the probe 27 to rotate and extend into the battery cell's shaft hole. The probe 27 calibrates the inner diameter of the battery cell's shaft hole. After calibration, the front slide cylinder 231 drives the front slide 23 to move forward, and the heating component 25 moves to a position close to the end of the probe 27 to heat the probe 27. The wound battery cell diaphragm is heated and solidified. After solidification, the hot-hole motor 26 rotates in the opposite direction, and the probe 27 moves away from the battery cell. The clamping cylinder 29 retracts its output end. The probe 27 and the hot-hole motor 26 can be implemented using any existing technology.

[0055] In one implementation, such as Figures 4-6As shown, the measuring mechanism 30 includes a measuring component and a first conveying component. The measuring component includes a measuring bracket 31, on which an upper measuring plate 32 and a lower measuring plate 33 are provided, corresponding to each other. A measuring guide rail 34 is provided on the measuring bracket 31, and a measuring slider 341 is slidably connected to the measuring guide rail 34. The upper measuring plate 32 is fixedly connected to the measuring slider 341. The bottom surface of the upper measuring plate 32 is a horizontal plane. A measuring cylinder 321 is connected to the upper measuring plate 32 to drive it to move back and forth along the measuring guide rail 34. A measuring connecting rod 322 is connected to the output end of the measuring cylinder 321, and the measuring connecting rod 322 is fixedly connected to the upper measuring plate 32. The upper surface of the lower measuring plate 33 is horizontal. A first vertical guide rail 35 is vertically arranged on the measuring bracket 31. A first vertical slider 351 is slidably connected to the first vertical guide rail 35. The lower measuring plate 33 is fixedly connected to the first vertical slider 351, allowing the lower measuring plate 33 to move up and down along the first vertical guide rail 35. A buffer spring 352 is connected to the lower measuring plate 33 to support its movement. A measuring rod 36 is provided on the lower measuring plate 33, and a measuring sensor 361 corresponding to the lower measuring rod 36 is provided on the measuring bracket 31. A cylindrical battery cell is placed horizontally on the lower measuring plate 33. Supported by a buffer spring 352, the cell can adhere to the bottom surface of the upper measuring plate 32. A measuring cylinder 321 drives the upper measuring plate 32 to move back and forth, causing the cell to roll. A measuring rod 36 and a measuring sensor 361 work together to measure the maximum and minimum distance between the lower and upper measuring plates 33 and 32 during the cell's rolling motion, thereby determining whether the cell's diameter is within the acceptable range. The measuring rod 36 and the measuring sensor 361 can be implemented using any existing technology. The measuring assembly further includes a first pusher plate 37. A first guide block 371 is mounted on the measuring bracket 31. The first guide block 371 is connected to a first push rod 372 that can slide back and forth. The first pusher plate 37 is connected to a first pusher cylinder 373 that drives it to move back and forth. The output end of the first pusher cylinder 373 is connected to a first connecting block 374, which is fixedly connected to the first push rod 372. The other end of the first push rod 372 is fixedly connected to the first pusher plate 37. The first pusher cylinder 373 drives the first push rod 372 to move the first pusher plate 37 back and forth along the first guide block 371. After the battery completes the measurement, the battery is pushed to the first conveying assembly for transfer via the first pusher plate 37.The lower measuring plate 33 has a vertically arranged first baffle plate 331 and a first guide plate 332 that can be raised and lowered along the first baffle plate 331 at its front end. The first guide plate 332 is connected to a first guide cylinder 333 that drives its raising and lowering. The upper end of the first guide plate 332 is provided with a first guide slope 334 that guides the battery cell to fall into the lower measuring plate 333. The front end of the first guide slope 334 is also provided with a slanted connecting plate 335 that connects to it and guides the battery cell to fall into the first guide slope 334. The battery cell is fed through the slanted connecting plate 335 and falls into the first guide slope 334 by rolling on its own. Due to the presence of the first baffle plate 331, the battery cell cannot continue to roll and stays on the first guide slope 334. The first guide cylinder 333 drives the first guide plate 332 to lift the battery cell. After moving to a predetermined distance, the battery cell continues to roll and fall into the upper surface of the lower measuring plate 33 for measurement. The first conveying assembly includes a first conveyor belt 38 disposed at the rear end of the lower measuring plate 33.

The waste-kicking slide bar 866 is hinged to the waste-kicking connecting rod 864. The waste-kicking motor 862 drives the waste-kicking connecting rod 864 to rotate, thereby driving the waste removal... The guide post 865 moves along the waste removal chute 863, and the shape of the waste removal chute 863 guides the waste removal slide bar 866 to move closer to or away from the turntable 801 and to move up and down.

A waste removal cylinder clamp 868 is connected to the end of the waste removal slide bar 866 away from the waste removal connecting rod 864. The defective removal assembly 86 also includes a waste removal cylinder 869 located below the mounting base 802.

The alignment sensor 891 can be implemented using any existing technology. The alignment sensor 891 is connected to an alignment lifting cylinder 892 that drives its lifting and lowering. The electrode alignment assembly 89 also includes an alignment drive 893 that drives the corresponding mounting base 802 to rotate in coordination with the alignment sensor 891 to sense the electrode. The alignment drive 893 can be implemented using any existing technology, such as driving a drive wheel with a motor and a driven wheel below the mounting base via a belt connection, or driving with a motor and gear transmissions at both the motor and the mounting base. It should be noted that while the mounting base 802 and the turntable 801 are rotatably connected, the alignment drive 893 is required to drive the mounting base 802 to rotate. The specific connection method can be implemented using any existing technology, and will not be elaborated here.

[0062] In one implementation, such as Figure 13As shown, the stamping mechanism 70 includes an unwinding assembly 71 for feeding the pad roll, a stamping assembly 72 for stamping the pad roll into a pad, and a winding assembly 73 for taking in the stamped and discarded pad roll. The unwinding assembly 71 includes a rotatably mounted feeding wheel 711, and the winding assembly 73 includes a taking wheel 731 and a winding motor 732 for driving the taking wheel 731. The function of the stamping assembly 72 is to stamp the pad roll and extend the stamped pad upward. The stamping assembly 72 can be implemented using any existing technology. The winding motor 732 drives the taking wheel 731 to rotate, thereby driving the feeding wheel 711 to rotate and feed the pad. The stamping assembly 72 between the two stamps the pad roll. The function of the pad placement component 83 on the turntable 801 is to pick up the pad processed by the stamping component 72 and place it on the battery cell of the mounting base 802. The pad placement component 83 can be implemented by any existing technology, such as a robotic arm, which will not be elaborated here.

[0063] In one implementation, such as Figures 14-15As shown, the housing insertion mechanism 90 includes a housing insertion bracket 91 and a housing insertion wheel 92 that is horizontally placed and rotatably mounted on the housing insertion bracket 91. The housing insertion wheel 92 is connected to a housing insertion motor 93 that drives its operation. Multiple housing insertion slots 94 are arranged in a ring on the housing insertion wheel 92. At least one housing insertion magnetic suction slot 941 for installing a magnetic suction component is provided in each housing insertion slot 94. The housing insertion slot 94 is used to receive metal housings without battery cells installed. After the metal housing falls into the housing insertion slot 94, it is attracted by the magnetic suction component in the housing insertion magnetic suction slot 941. The magnetic suction component in the housing insertion magnetic suction slot 941 can be any existing technology that can realize magnetic switching, such as an electromagnet, which will not be described in detail here. The housing support 91 is provided with a housing fixing plate 95, and the housing fixing plate 95 is provided with a housing hole 951 that allows the battery cell to pass through. Above the housing hole 951, there is a housing pressing block 96 corresponding to it. The housing pressing block 96 is connected to a housing pressing cylinder 961 that drives it to extend into the housing hole 951. The housing hole 951 corresponds vertically to the mounting seat 802 on the turntable 801. The mounting seat 802 is equipped with the ejection component 88 in the corresponding process. When the battery cell is installed in the housing, the ejection component 88 pushes the battery cell upward from the housing hole 951, and the housing pressing cylinder 961 drives the housing pressing block 96 to press down the metal housing, so that the metal housing and the battery cell complete the housing installation action. Below the insertion wheel 92, an insertion anti-detachment plate 97 is provided, which rotates with the insertion wheel 92. The insertion anti-detachment plate 97 is connected to multiple insertion support plates 98, which extend downwards into the insertion groove 94. An insertion spring (not shown in the figure) connects the insertion anti-detachment plate 97 and the insertion support plates 98. When the metal shell falls into the insertion groove 94, due to magnetic attraction, the metal shell presses against the insertion support plates 98, causing the insertion support plates 98 to press against the insertion spring and retract. When the battery cell is inserted, due to the ejection component 88, the battery cell will drive the metal shell upwards a certain distance. The metal shell no longer presses against the insertion support plates 98, and the insertion support plates 98 pop outwards due to elastic recovery. At this time, after the ejection component 88 is withdrawn, the insertion support plates 98 support the battery cell, ensuring that the battery cell will not fall out. The insertion motor 93 drives the insertion wheel 92 to rotate, transferring the metal shell loaded with the battery cell to the next process. The housing insertion motor 93 also drives a housing insertion sensing turntable 99, which rotates synchronously with the housing insertion wheel 92. The housing insertion bracket 91 is equipped with a housing insertion sensor 991 for detecting the rotation amplitude of the housing insertion sensing turntable 99, thereby strictly controlling the rotation angle of the housing insertion wheel 92 driven by the housing insertion motor 93 to ensure production accuracy. The housing insertion sensing turntable 99 and the housing insertion sensor 991 can be implemented using any existing technology.

[0064] In one implementation, such as Figure 16As shown, the feeding mechanism 100 includes a feeding motor 101. The output end of the feeding motor 101 is connected to a feeding plate 102. The feeding plate 102 has four feeding seats 103 arranged in a circular array. Each feeding seat 103 is provided with a feeding groove 104 for accommodating metal shells. A feeding hole 105 is provided in the feeding groove 104. A shell-removing motor 106 and a shell-exiting motor 107 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the feeding motor 101. The output ends of the shell-removing motor 106 and the shell-exiting motor 107 are respectively connected to feeding push rods 108. The feeding push rods 108 extend forward and pass through the corresponding feeding holes 105. A magnetic suction element (not shown in the figure) is provided on the feeding push rod 108 of the shell-removing motor 106. The function of the magnetic suction element is to control the magnetic suction effect by switching it on and off. It can be implemented by any existing technology, such as an electromagnet. A feeding support plate 109 is provided at the bottom of the feeding seat 103 at the corresponding position of the shell-removing motor 106. After the battery cell insertion mechanism 90 completes the insertion of the battery cell and transfers the metal casing containing the battery cell to the corresponding position of the unloading mechanism 100, the magnetic attraction in the insertion slot is demagnetized. The shell removal motor 106 drives the unloading push rod 108 to extend into the insertion slot. After contacting the metal casing, the magnetic attraction at the end of the unloading push rod 108 is activated to magnetically attract the metal casing. The shell removal motor 106 drives the unloading push rod 108 to retract, taking the metal casing containing the battery cell into the unloading slot 104. Due to the support of the unloading support plate 109 and the insertion support plate for the battery cell, the battery cell will not fall downwards during the entire movement and positioning process. After the unloading push rod 108 is retracted, the unloading motor 101 drives the unloading plate 102 to rotate, which drives the unloading seat 103 to rotate. The unloading seat 103 causes the metal casing containing the battery cell to rotate 180°. The shell removal motor 107 drives the corresponding unloading push rod 108 to push the metal casing containing the battery cell out of the unloading slot 104 and proceed to the next process.

[0065] In one implementation, such as Figure 17 As shown, the discharge mechanism 110 includes multiple discharge assemblies 111 connected in sequence for finished product transport. The ends of adjacent discharge assemblies 111 are connected at an angle. At the angle of the adjacent discharge assemblies 111, a discharge pusher 112 is provided to drive the battery cells to change direction. The discharge pusher 112 is connected to a discharge cylinder 113 that drives its operation. Each discharge assembly 111 includes a discharge conveyor belt 114 and a discharge motor 115 that drives its operation. Discharge limit plates 116 are provided on both sides of the discharge conveyor belt 114. The housing containing the battery cells is transported by the discharge conveyor belt 114. When it reaches the angle connection, the discharge pusher 112 pushes the housing into the next discharge assembly 111, and the process continues sequentially.

[0066] Working principle:

[0067] like Figures 1-17As shown, this device consists of two feeding production lines: one for battery cells and the other for metal casings that can be magnetically attracted. The battery cells and casings are then assembled and output. The feeding process of the battery cell feeding production line includes a battery cell loading mechanism 10, a hot-drilling mechanism 20, a measuring mechanism 30, and a turnover mechanism 40, designed sequentially. The feeding process of the casing feeding production line includes a casing loading mechanism 50 and a transmission mechanism 60, designed sequentially. The battery cells and casings converge on a turntable mechanism 80. A stamping mechanism 70 with a stamping pad and a casing insertion mechanism 90 are located on one side of the turntable mechanism 80. After the battery cells are inserted into the casing, they are transferred to an unloading mechanism 110 and then discharged through the unloading mechanism 110, completing the casing processing and conveying action.

[0068] The specific workflow of the battery cell feeding production line is as follows: Battery cells are placed in the feeding conveyor trough 15 of the battery cell feeding mechanism 10 for feeding. The feeding conveyor motor 13 drives the feeding conveyor belt 11 to convey the battery cells. At the end of the journey, the battery cells fall from the feeding inclined surface 17 into the feeding reversing trough 16. The feeding drive motor 14 drives the feeding drive wheel 12 to rotate the battery cells to a predetermined angle. The pressing cylinder 29 of the hot-drilling mechanism 20 presses the battery cells. The probe motor 281 drives the probe 27 to rotate and extend into the center hole of the battery cell to calibrate the inner diameter of the hole. The front sliding cylinder 231 drives the heating component 25 to heat the probe 27, causing the battery cell separator to be thermally cured and shaped. After the shaping is completed, the battery cells are released and the probe 27 is pulled out. The feeding drive wheel 12 continues... The rotation drives the battery cell into the measuring mechanism 30. The battery cell falls from the inclined plate 331 into the first guide inclined surface 334. The first guide cylinder 333 drives the first guide plate 332 to lift the battery cell. After moving to a predetermined distance, the battery cell continues to roll and falls onto the upper surface of the lower measuring plate 33. Under the action of the buffer spring 352, the lower measuring plate 33 is driven to press the battery cell onto the upper measuring plate 32 along the first vertical guide rail 35. The lifting and lowering of the lower measuring plate 33 can be achieved by any existing mechanism, which will not be elaborated here. The main function of the buffer spring 352 is to provide a certain clamping force to the battery cell after the lower measuring plate 33 has risen. The measuring cylinder 321 drives the upper measuring plate 32 to roll the battery cell. The measuring stationary bar 36 and the measuring... Sensor 361 measures the maximum and minimum distance between the lower measuring plate 33 and the upper measuring plate 32 when the battery cell rolls, thereby determining whether the diameter of the battery cell is within the acceptable range. The first pushing cylinder 373 drives the first pushing rod 372 to move the first pushing plate 37 back and forth along the first guide block 371. After the battery completes the measurement, the first pushing plate 37 pushes the battery towards the first conveyor belt 38. Battery cells that fail the diameter test are pushed away by the defective pushing cylinder 391 driven by the defective pushing plate 39 when conveyed by the first conveyor belt 38. Qualified battery cells are transferred to the turnover mechanism 40 by the first conveyor belt 38. When the turnover sleeve 48 is placed horizontally, it can receive the contents conveyed by the first conveyor belt 38. The incoming battery cell falls into the turnover sleeve 48, and the turnover motor 49 drives the turnover sleeve 48 to rotate and change position, so that the turnover sleeve 48 carrying the battery cell rotates to the upward position. The transport motor 42 drives the transport connecting bar 43 to rotate, and drives the transport guide post 44 to move up and down along the transport slide 411. The transport guide post 44 is fixedly connected to the transport bar 452, and the transport bar 452 is fixedly connected to the transport cylinder clamp 46. The transport bar 452 moves under the action of the transport guide post 44. The transport horizontal slide rail 45 and the transport horizontal slider 451 provide horizontal and vertical movement guidance respectively. Driven by the forward and reverse rotation of the transport motor 42, the transport cylinder clamp 46 is driven to move to the turnover sleeve 48 to grab the battery cell and transport it to the turntable mechanism 80.

[0069] The specific workflow of the shell feeding production line is as follows: the shells are arranged in the shell feeding box 53, the shell feeding box 53 is stacked on the shell feeding frame 51, the shell handling module 54 drives the handling arm 55 to push the top shell feeding box 53 onto the feeding platform 52, the feeding positioning component 59 presses and fixes the shell feeding box 53, the shell transverse conveying module 57 drives the suction component to take out the shells row by row and transport them to the shell conveyor belt 61, the shell feeding box 53 after taking out the material is pushed out from the opening of the feeding platform 52 by the box pushing component, and the shell conveyor belt 61 transports the shell to the shell entry mechanism 90.

[0070] The specific assembly process is as follows: the battery cell is placed on the mounting base 802 of the turntable mechanism 80. The turntable 801 rotates, and the battery cell first passes through the visual inspection component 81 to check for obvious damage. Then, the electrode alignment component 89 drives the mounting base 802 to rotate and senses and positions the electrode. Next, the electrode clamping component 82 clamps and aligns the electrode vertically. Then, the face pad placement component 83 places the face pad into the battery cell for installation. The stamping mechanism 70 corresponding to the face pad placement component 83 uses the stamping component to press the face pad into the battery cell. The pad roll is punched upward to form a pad for the assembly 83 to pick up the material. After the pad is placed, the battery cell is driven by the tab alignment assembly 89 to rotate the mounting base 802 and sense and position the tab. Then the tab bending assembly 84 bends the tab. Then the flatness detection assembly 85 detects the flatness of the bent tab. Defective products are then rejected by the defective product removal assembly 86. Qualified battery cells pass through the flatness assembly 87 to flatten the tab. Finally, the battery cell ejection assembly 88 ejects the battery cell upward. At this time, the housing insertion mechanism 90 corresponds to the cell ejection assembly 88. When the housing is transported to the housing insertion mechanism 90, it enters the housing insertion groove 94. The housing compresses the housing insertion support plate 98 and contracts. The housing insertion motor 93 drives the housing insertion wheel 92 to rotate, transferring the housing above the housing insertion hole 951. The cell ejection mechanism 88 ejects the cell through the housing insertion hole 951. The housing pressing cylinder 961 drives the housing pressing block 96 to press down the housing, completing the housing insertion assembly with the cell. At this time, due to the cell's... The upward movement of the top pusher causes the housing to move upward a certain distance, and the housing support plate 98 pops out to support the battery cell. The housing removal motor 106 drives the downward push rod 108 with magnetic attraction to extend into the housing slot 94 to remove the housing with the battery cell installed and place it into the unloading seat 103. The unloading motor 101 drives the unloading seat 103 to rotate the battery cell and housing. The housing exit motor 107 pushes the housing with the battery cell installed to the exit mechanism 110 through the downward push rod 108 without magnetic attraction. The exit mechanism 110, through the exit motor 115, drives the exit conveyor belt 114 to transport the housing with the battery cell installed, completing the operation.
