Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0042] The following disclosure provides many different implementation methods or examples for different solutions to implement this utility model.

[0043] Reference Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a battery labeling screen printing production line includes a labeling device 1, a first flipping device 2, two screen printing devices 3, a second flipping device 4, and two UV curing devices 5;

[0044] The two screen printing machines are divided into the first screen printing machine and the second screen printing machine, and the two UV curing machines are divided into the first UV curing machine and the second UV curing machine.

[0045] Labeling equipment 1, first flipping equipment 2, first screen printing equipment, first UV curing equipment, second flipping equipment 4, second screen printing equipment and second UV curing equipment are connected in sequence;

[0046] During operation, labeling device 1 labels the batteries, and the labeled batteries are then transported to the first flipping device 2.

[0047] The first flipping device 2 flips the battery so that the side of the battery to be screen printed is facing up, and then the battery is transported to the first screen printing device.

[0048] The first screen printing equipment prints on the screen printing surface of the battery, and after completing the screen printing on that surface, the battery is transported to the first UV curing equipment.

[0049] The first UV curing device cures the screen printing ink to prevent damage to the ink during subsequent flipping and moving. Then, the battery is transported to the second flipping device 4.

[0050] The second flipping device 4 flips the battery so that the other side of the battery to be screen printed faces upwards, and then transports the battery to the second screen printing device.

[0051] The second screen printing equipment prints on the surface of the battery to be screen printed. After the screen printing on this surface is completed, the battery is then transported to the second UV curing equipment to continue curing the screen printing ink.

[0052] This allows for continuous labeling and screen printing of batteries, and screen printing can be done on different surfaces of the battery, greatly improving production efficiency.

[0053] Reference Figure 2 The labeling equipment 1 includes a first conveyor belt 11, a first labeling machine 12, a second labeling machine 13, and a third labeling machine 14;

[0054] An external battery conveying device is connected to the first conveyor belt 11 to deliver the battery onto the first conveyor belt 11. The first labeling machine 12 labels the top surface of the battery on the first conveyor belt 11, and the second labeling machine 13 and the third labeling machine 14 label the sides of the battery on the first conveyor belt 11. In this way, the battery can be labeled on three sides.

[0055] The specific structures of the first labeling machine 12, the second labeling machine 13, and the third labeling machine 14 can be found in patent CN208307185U or patent CN208307186U, and will not be described in detail here.

[0056] Reference Figure 3 The first flipping device 2 includes a frame and multiple rollers arranged on the frame. The multiple rollers are arranged at intervals along the battery conveying direction. A cross-shaped flipping frame is provided between the rollers. The cross-shaped flipping frame can rotate, and its rotation axis is parallel to the arrangement direction of the rollers. When the battery is conveyed onto the roller, it can be flipped 90° under the drive of the cross-shaped flipping frame. The rollers are driven by a driving force and can move the battery. After the battery is flipped, it can be sent away by the rollers. The structure of the first flipping device 2 can be referred to in patent CN202322734404.0.

[0057] Reference Figures 3 to 7The screen printing equipment 3 includes a machine base 31, on which a conveying unit 32, a screen printing unit 33 and a cleaning unit 34 are provided;

[0058] Conveying unit 32 is used to convey batteries;

[0059] The screen printing unit 33 prints on the battery on the conveying unit 32;

[0060] The cleaning unit 34 includes a bracket 341 and a cleaning roller 342. The bracket 341 is fixed on the machine base 31, and the cleaning roller 342 is mounted on the bracket 341. The cleaning roller 342 is located above the input end of the conveying unit 32 and is used to contact the screen printing surface of the battery.

[0061] When the battery enters the conveying unit 32, it comes into contact with the cleaning roller 342. The cleaning roller 342 cleans the surface of the battery to be screen-printed, removing impurities and ensuring that the surface of the battery to be screen-printed is in a clean state before reaching the screen-printing unit 33. In this way, the screen-printing quality of the screen-printing unit 33 will not be affected by impurities, and the screen-printing effect is guaranteed. As the conveying unit 32 operates, the battery will be placed on the screen-printing unit 33, and the screen-printing unit 33 will print on the surface of the battery to be screen-printed. After the printing is completed, the conveying unit 32 will then convey the battery out.

[0062] The first screen printing equipment and the second screen printing equipment have the same structure. The difference lies in the docking device of the conveying unit 32. The input end of the conveying unit 32 of the first screen printing equipment is docked to the first flipping device 2, and the output end of the conveying unit 32 of the first screen printing equipment is docked to the first UV curing device. The input end of the conveying unit 32 of the second screen printing equipment is docked to the second flipping device 4, and the output end of the conveying unit 32 of the second screen printing equipment is docked to the second UV curing device.

[0063] In this embodiment, a crossbeam 343 is provided on the bracket 341, and the crossbeam 343 slides up and down with the bracket 341. A locking module 344 is provided on the crossbeam 343, and the locking module 344 cooperates with the bracket 341 to fix the crossbeam 343. The cleaning roller 342 is connected to the crossbeam 343.

[0064] The locking module 344 is a screw handle. When the height of the cleaning roller 342 needs to be adjusted, first loosen the screw handle so that the crossbeam 343 can move up and down. After adjusting to the appropriate height, tighten the screw handle to achieve adjustable height of the cleaning roller 342.

[0065] In some other embodiments, the locking module 344 may be a screw or a set screw.

[0066] In this embodiment, two guide posts 345 are arranged at intervals on the crossbeam 343. A limiting plate 346 is provided above the crossbeam 343, and a mounting bracket 347 is provided below the crossbeam 343. The guide posts 345 pass through the crossbeam 343 and slide up and down with the crossbeam 343. The limiting plate 346 connects the top of the two guide posts 345, and the mounting bracket 347 connects the bottom of the two guide posts 345. A spring 348 is sleeved on the guide post 345. The spring 348 is located between the crossbeam 343 and the mounting bracket 347. The cleaning roller 342 is arranged on the mounting bracket 347.

[0067] Spring 348 is supported between crossbeam 343 and mounting bracket 347. When cleaning roller 342 contacts battery, it will rise a certain distance. Mounting bracket 347 will rise together with guide post 345, thereby compressing spring 348. After battery leaves cleaning roller 342, spring 348 will return to its original state, thereby allowing mounting bracket 347 to fall and cleaning roller 342 to return to its original position. Through this design, cleaning roller 342 can be in close contact with the screen printing surface of battery, improving cleaning effect.

[0068] The conveying unit 32 conveys the battery horizontally. The axis of the cleaning roller 342 is arranged horizontally and perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying unit 32. The roller of the cleaning roller 342 can rotate. In this way, after the battery input contacts the cleaning roller 342, it can push the cleaning roller 342 to rise.

[0069] In this embodiment, the conveying unit 32 includes a temporary storage conveyor belt 321 and a working conveyor belt 322 connected in sequence. The cleaning roller 342 is located above the input end of the temporary storage conveyor belt 321, and the screen printing unit 33 prints on the batteries on the working conveyor belt 322.

[0070] The battery will first be transported to the temporary storage conveyor belt 321, and then from the temporary storage conveyor belt 321 to the working conveyor belt 322. If there is a battery being screen-printed on the working conveyor belt 322, the temporary storage conveyor belt 321 will stop running to prevent any more batteries from being transported to the working conveyor belt 322.

[0071] The machine base 31 is equipped with a fixed plate 35 and a movable plate 36. The fixed plate 35 and the movable plate 36 form a limiting channel for the battery to pass through above the conveying unit 32. The distance between the movable plate 36 and the fixed plate 35 is adjustable.

[0072] The battery's posture can be restricted by the limiting channel to prevent it from shifting during operation; the limiting channel extends from the temporary storage conveyor belt 321 to the working conveyor belt 322 to ensure smooth battery movement.

[0073] Generally, the machine base 31 is provided with a first side plate and a second side plate. The temporary storage conveyor belt 321 is mounted on the first side plate and the second side plate, and the belt body of the temporary storage conveyor belt 321 is located between the first side plate and the second side plate. The working conveyor belt 322 is also arranged in the same way. The fixed plate 35 is fixed on the first side plate, and the movable plate 36 is located above the second side plate. The machine base 31 is provided with a guide rail, and the movable plate 36 is provided with a self-locking slider. The slider cooperates with the guide rail, so that the movable plate 36 can slide. Its sliding direction is parallel to the axis of the cleaning roller 342, so that the position of the movable plate 36 can be adjusted to adapt to batteries of different sizes.

[0074] Furthermore, rollers are provided on the side of the fixed plate 35 near the movable plate 36 and on the side of the movable plate 36 near the fixed plate 35. The outer circumferential surface of the rollers is used to contact the battery on the conveying unit 32 to assist in the movement of the battery.

[0075] In this embodiment, a transition roller 323 is provided between the temporary storage conveyor belt 321 and the working conveyor belt 322. Since both ends of the conveyor belt are arc-shaped, there must be a recessed area between the temporary storage conveyor belt 321 and the working conveyor belt 322. The transition roller 323 fills the recessed area to help the battery pass through the recessed area and ensure that the battery will not get stuck when it passes through.

[0076] In this embodiment, a positioning plate 324 is provided on one side of the working conveyor belt 322 along its conveying direction, and a first drive module 325 is provided on the other side of the working conveyor belt 322 along its conveying direction. The output end of the first drive module 325 is connected to a pressure plate 326. Under the drive of the first drive module 325, the pressure plate 326 presses the battery onto the positioning plate 324, which can accurately position the battery and facilitate the printing of the screen printing unit 33.

[0077] Specifically, the positioning plate 324 is fixed on the fixed plate 35, while the first drive module 325 is set on the movable plate 36. The movable plate 36 is also equipped with a guide rail slider mechanism to assist the movement of the pressure plate 326.

[0078] In this embodiment, the pressure plate 326 is provided with a first positioning block 3261 and a second positioning block 3262. The first positioning block 3261 is fixed on the pressure plate 326, and the position of the second positioning block 3262 can be adjusted along the conveying direction of the working conveyor belt 322. The distance between the first positioning block 3261 and the second positioning block 3262 is set according to the size of the battery. When the battery is pressed, the first positioning block 3261 and the second positioning block 3262 cooperate to lock the battery at both ends along the conveying direction of the working conveyor belt 322, thereby more accurately positioning the battery.

[0079] In this embodiment, a baffle 327 is provided at the end of the positioning plate 324 away from the temporary storage conveyor belt 321. The baffle 327 moves under the drive of the second drive module 328, and the moving direction of the baffle 327 is parallel to the axis of the cleaning roller 342.

[0080] When the battery is transported to the working conveyor belt 322, the baffle 327 will extend first, and the battery will touch the baffle 327 and be blocked by the baffle 327. At this time, the pressure plate 326 can be activated to press the battery onto the positioning plate 324. After the screen printing is completed, the baffle 327 retracts, and the battery continues to be transported and leaves the working conveyor belt 322.

[0081] In this embodiment, both the first drive module 325 and the second drive module 328 are cylinders.

[0082] In this embodiment, the screen printing unit 33 is a screen printing machine. During screen printing, the screen plate is lowered, and the pattern, logo and other information are printed onto the battery by the reciprocating movement of the squeegee.

[0083] In this embodiment, the structure of the second flipping device 4 can be referred to patent CN202322734404.0, and will not be described in detail here.

[0084] In this embodiment, the UV curing equipment uses ultraviolet light to cure screen printing ink and is a common device on the market.

[0085] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
