Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery pack technology, and in particular to a feeding device for the terminals of the outer casing of a battery. Background Technology

[0002] In the injection molding process of battery pack covers, to meet the functional requirements of internally embedded terminals, nuts, and steel sleeves, existing technologies typically employ a loading platform to centrally place these embedded components, and then a conveyor device to transport them to the robotic arm's pick-up position, integrating the embedded components in conjunction with the injection molding process. In this process, the stability of the conveyor device directly affects the accuracy of the subsequent robotic arm's gripping. However, existing conveying devices have significant drawbacks in terminal conveying: when terminals are conveyed to the robotic arm's picking position, the lack of effective limiting structures and recognition mechanisms causes terminals to easily stack, shift, or be squeezed, preventing the robotic arm from accurately grasping the target terminals. This leads to interruptions in the injection molding pre-embedding process or deviations in the position of the pre-embedded parts, severely impacting the production efficiency and product qualification rate of the battery pack cover. Furthermore, existing conveying devices only complete the horizontal transfer of terminals through a simple conveying structure, without dynamic adjustment or positioning functions for the robotic arm's picking position, making it easy for terminals to accumulate disorderly at the end of the conveying process due to inertia or external interference. This structural defect increases the complexity of robotic arm picking and makes it difficult to meet the high-precision and high-stability manufacturing requirements of the battery pack cover. Therefore, this utility model proposes a conveying device for the terminals of the battery outer casing cover to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a feeding device for the terminals of the battery outer casing top cover. This feeding device stably controls the feeding of the terminals and the subsequent picking sequence, avoiding stacking, offset, or squeezing, thereby improving feeding quality and efficiency.

[0004] To achieve the purpose of this utility model, the utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a material conveying device for the terminals of the outer casing of a battery, including a conveyor frame and a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt is located inside the conveyor frame and is driven by a drive component. A top frame is provided above the conveyor frame, and a limiting plate is provided at the bottom of the top frame. The limiting plate has at least four rows, and two adjacent rows of the limiting plates form a limiting channel. The limiting channel is used to cooperate with the conveyor belt to convey the terminals. The top end of the limiting plate is provided with a limiting cover, which is used to limit the position above the terminal. The top end of the conveyor frame is provided with a positioning plate, and the inner side of the positioning plate is provided with a positioning groove for the positioning terminal. The positioning plate is provided with an infrared component for identifying the terminal, and the control end of the infrared component is connected to a driving component.

[0005] A further improvement is that the infrared component includes a U-shaped fastener and a first infrared sensor. The U-shaped fastener is located above the positioning plate, and the first infrared sensor is located on the U-shaped fastener, with the detection range of the first infrared sensor covering the positioning groove.

[0006] A further improvement is that a second infrared sensor is provided above the limiting plate, and the detection range of the second infrared sensor covers the limiting channel. The signal output terminal of the second infrared sensor is connected to the control terminal.

[0007] A further improvement is that the top of the top frame is provided with an arc-shaped mounting groove, and there are at least four rows of arc-shaped mounting grooves. The four rows of limiting plates are fixed to the four rows of arc-shaped mounting grooves by bolts.

[0008] A further improvement is that: both ends of the inner side of the conveyor frame are provided with drive rollers, the conveyor belt is wound around the drive rollers, and one end of the outer side of the conveyor frame is provided with a side plate.

[0009] A further improvement is that the driving component includes a connecting wheel, a driving wheel, and a reduction motor. The connecting wheel and the driving wheel both rotate on the outside of the side plate, and a track connects the connecting wheel and the driving wheel. The connecting wheel is connected to the driving roller at one end, and the reduction motor is located on the inside of the side plate, with its output end connected to the driving wheel.

[0010] A further improvement is that: one end of the bottom of the conveyor frame is provided with a first support leg, and the other end of the bottom of the conveyor frame is provided with a second support leg. The first support leg is supported on the upper cover component feeding device, and the second support leg is supported on the ground.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model uses a conveyor belt to transport terminals, and uses a limiting plate to form a limiting channel to limit the terminals during the transport process. A limiting cover limits the terminals at the outlet from above, and a positioning groove in the positioning plate positions the terminals at the outlet to be picked up. In conjunction with an infrared component, it identifies the terminals to be picked up and controls the start and stop of the drive component, thereby stabilizing the transport of terminals and the subsequent picking sequence, avoiding stacking, offset or squeezing, and improving the transport quality and efficiency.

[0012] 2. The limiting plate of this utility model is fixed to the arc-shaped mounting groove by bolts. Due to the length characteristics of the arc-shaped mounting groove, the position of the limiting plate can be adjusted, thereby forming a limiting channel that can be adapted to terminals of different diameters, and has a wide range of applications.

[0023] The battery's external casing terminal conveying device uses a conveyor belt 2 to transport terminals 5. A limiting plate 4 forms a limiting channel to restrict the terminals 5 during transport. A limiting cover 6 restricts the terminals 5 at the outlet from above. A positioning groove in a positioning plate 7 positions the terminals 5 at the outlet's uncollected position.

Simultaneously, the limiting plate 4 is fixed to the arc-shaped mounting groove 11 with bolts. Due to the length characteristics of the arc-shaped mounting groove 11, the position of the limiting plate 4 can be adjusted, thus forming a limiting channel adaptable to terminals 5 of different diameters, making it widely applicable.
