Detailed Implementation

[0013] The present invention will now be clearly described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. This description is merely for explaining the present invention and is not intended to limit it. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort to obtain all other embodiments should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0014] Example 1 like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a battery tab positioning and slotting device, including a conveyor, which is a belt conveyor. The conveyor includes a frame 1 and a conveyor belt 14 disposed on the frame 1. A pressure plate 5 is provided above the conveyor belt 14. The pressure plate 5 is disposed on a portal frame. The portal frame includes a horizontal frame 3 and two vertical frames 2. The lower ends of the two vertical frames 2 are respectively fixedly connected to the frame 1 on both sides of the conveyor belt 14. The two ends of the horizontal frame 3 are respectively fixedly connected to the top ends of the two vertical frames 2. A vertical telescopic rod 4 is provided at the center of the horizontal frame 3. The telescopic end of the vertical telescopic rod 4 is vertically downward and fixedly connected to the upper surface of the pressure plate 5. A pressure head 7 is provided on the lower surface of the pressure plate 5. The pressure plate 5 is equipped with a protective component. The protective assembly includes two protective plates 8, which are fixedly connected to corresponding vertical frames 2. The opposite ends of the two protective plates 8 extend to the bottom of the pressure plate 5. The protective plates 8 are provided with vertical guide rods 6, and the pressure plate 5 is provided with guide holes that match the guide rods 6. The guide rods 6 pass through the guide holes.

[0015] The pressure head 7 is detachably connected to the pressure plate 5 by bolts. The matching pressure head can be replaced according to the different tabs 16 of the battery to ensure that the pressure head can press the tabs 16 on the battery into the slot.

[0016] A buffer spring 20 is fitted on the guide rod 6 between the pressure plate 5 and the protective plate 8.

[0017] The conveyor belt 14 below the pressure plate 5 has mating clamps 13 on both sides. Each clamp 13 is connected to a horizontal telescopic rod 12, the fixed end of which is fixedly connected to a corresponding vertical frame. The two horizontal telescopic rods 12 extend in opposite directions. An infrared sensor that mates with the horizontal telescopic rod 12 is mounted on the frame.

[0018] In this embodiment, both the vertical and horizontal telescopic rods are electric push rods or hydraulic cylinders. Other components enabling the normal operation of the battery tab positioning and slotting device include a controller (PLC) connected to the conveyor, vertical telescopic rod, and horizontal telescopic rod. An infrared sensor detects the battery on the conveyor belt and transmits a signal to the controller. The controller controls the horizontal telescopic rod to extend, two clamping plates clamp and position the battery, the conveyor belt pauses, the vertical telescopic rod extends, the pressure plate presses down, and the pressure head inserts the tab into the slot. Subsequently, all components reset, awaiting the next battery to be transported for tab insertion. The degree of pressure from the pressure plate is adjusted by the extension and retraction length of the vertical telescopic rod to ensure proper tab insertion and prevent impact damage to the battery from the pressure head.

[0019] Example 2 like Figure 2-5 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that a buffer spring 20 is sleeved on the guide rod 6 between the pressure plate 5 and the protective plate 8, or the buffer spring may not be sleeved. A buffer plate 9 is provided on the upper surface of the end of the protective plate 8 away from the vertical rod. The two ends of the lower surface of the buffer plate 9 are connected to the protective plate 8 via telescopic sleeves. The telescopic sleeve includes an outer tube 11 and an inner tube 10. The lower end of the outer tube 11 is fixed to the protective plate 8, and the lower end of the inner tube 10 extends into the outer tube 11 and is connected to a compression spring 19. A vertical guide groove 17 is provided on the inner wall of the outer tube 11, and a slider 18 is provided within the guide groove 17. The slider 18 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the inner tube 10. When the pressure plate is pressed down, the buffer plate contacts the lower surface of the pressure plate, providing buffering and support, preventing the pressure plate from driving the pressure head down and causing a large impact on the battery, thus damaging the battery.

[0020] The connection and control of the controller with the conveyor, vertical telescopic rod, horizontal telescopic rod and infrared sensor in the above embodiments of this application are all existing technologies. This application does not improve them, but adopts their existing functions. The specific principles and structures can be found in the product's instruction manual, etc., and will not be repeated here.

[0021] The embodiments of this utility model have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, nor are they limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
