Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery pack technology, and in particular to a nut feeding device at the four corners of the lower outer casing of a battery. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of new energy vehicle power battery system manufacturing, the battery pack, as the core energy storage device, requires its external lower casing structure to achieve precise assembly with the vehicle or other components through pre-embedded nuts. In existing technology, the process of pre-embedding nuts at the four corners of the lower casing usually adopts a manual feeding method: the operator needs to manually position and place the nuts one by one at the designated workstation of the feeding base, and then the automated material handling machine clamp completes the synchronous gripping and subsequent embedding of the four corner nuts through a preset path; The manual assisted feeding mode has significant technical defects: on the one hand, the manual placement of nuts is easily affected by human factors, resulting in large fluctuations in the initial positioning accuracy of the nuts, which directly affects the stability of subsequent mechanical fixture picking and the consistency of the pre-embedded position; on the other hand, manual intervention increases the non-value-added operation time in the production cycle, which becomes a key bottleneck restricting the improvement of production line efficiency in large-scale production scenarios, and the labor cost increases linearly with the expansion of production capacity, making it difficult to meet the needs of high-precision and high-efficiency modern intelligent manufacturing. Therefore, this utility model proposes a nut feeding device at the four corners of the lower outer casing of the battery to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model proposes a nut loading device at the four corners of the lower outer casing of a battery. This nut loading device at the four corners of the lower outer casing of a battery facilitates the mechanical clamping of the nut at two points at a time, improving efficiency and stability, and meeting the needs of modern intelligent manufacturing with high precision and high efficiency.

[0004] To achieve the purpose of this utility model, the utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a nut feeding device at the four corners of the lower outer casing of a battery, including a base and an upper cover, wherein the upper cover is located above the base, and a detection component is provided above the front side of the upper cover; The base is provided with a vibrating feeding plate on the rear side of the top, which is used to transport nuts. The output end of the vibrating feeding plate is provided with a guide rail. The base is provided with a support on the front side of the top, and a sliding rod is slidably provided on the support. The sliding rod is provided with two sets of discharge holes. A pusher cylinder is provided at one end of the support at the rear side of the top. The two sets of discharge holes correspond to the output end of the pusher cylinder and the outlet of the guide rail, respectively.

[0005] A further improvement is that a guide cover is provided on the front side of the upper protective cover, and the guide cover is used for the material handling machine clamp to extend into and run.

[0006] A further improvement is that the detection component includes a detection plate and detection probes. The detection probes are located at the four corners of the detection plate and are used to detect the nut clamping status at the four material handling positions of the material handling machine.

[0007] A further improvement is that a guide rail is provided on the front side of the top of the support, and a guide block is movably provided on the guide rail, with the slide rod connected to the guide block.

[0008] A further improvement is that a reciprocating cylinder is provided at one end of the front side of the top of the support, and the output end of the reciprocating cylinder is connected to the guide block.

[0009] A further improvement is that a first infrared probe is provided on the support at the position below the outlet of the guide rail, and the first infrared probe is used to identify the nut.

[0010] A further improvement is that a second infrared probe is provided on the side of the feed end of the guide rail, and the second infrared probe is used to identify the nut.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model uses a vibrating feeding plate to feed nuts to the outlet of the guide rail. Before this, the sliding rod moves so that the left discharge hole reaches the outlet of the guide rail and receives one nut. Then the sliding rod returns to its original position so that the right discharge hole faces the outlet of the guide rail and receives another nut. The left discharge hole reaches the pusher cylinder. When the subsequent material handling machine fixture comes down, the pusher cylinder pushes the nut in the left discharge hole, and the vibrating feeding plate continues to feed, pushing the nut in the right discharge hole. This makes it convenient for the material handling machine fixture to pick up nuts at two points at once, improving efficiency and stability, and meeting the needs of high-precision and high-efficiency modern intelligent manufacturing.

[0016] according to Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, this embodiment proposes a nut feeding device at the four corners of the lower outer casing of a battery, including a base 1 and an upper cover 2. The upper cover 2 is located above the base 1, and a detection component is provided on the upper front side of the upper cover 2. The base 1 has a vibrating feeding plate 3 on the rear side of its top. The vibrating feeding plate 3 is used to transport nuts. The output end of the vibrating feeding plate 3 is provided with a guide rail 4. The base 1 has a support 5 on the front side of its top. The support 5 has a sliding rod 6 on it. The sliding rod 6 has two sets of discharge holes 7. The support 5 has a pusher cylinder 8 at one end of its top rear side. The two sets of discharge holes 7 correspond to the output end of the pusher cylinder 8 and the outlet of the guide rail 4, respectively. In use, the vibrating feeding plate 3 feeds the nuts to the outlet of the guide rail 4. Before this, the sliding rod 6 moves, so that the left discharge hole 7 reaches the outlet of the guide rail 4 to receive one nut. Then the sliding rod 6 returns to its original position, so that the right discharge hole 7 faces the outlet of the guide rail 4 to receive another nut. The left discharge hole 7 reaches the pushing cylinder 8. When the subsequent material handling machine fixture comes down, the pushing cylinder 8 pushes the nut in the left discharge hole 7, and the vibrating feeding plate 3 continues to feed, pushing the nut in the right discharge hole 7. This makes it convenient for the material handling machine fixture to pick up nuts at two points at once, improving efficiency and stability, and meeting the needs of high-precision and high-efficiency modern intelligent manufacturing.

[0018] The detection assembly includes a detection plate 10 and detection probes 11. The detection probes 11 are located at the four corners of the detection plate 10 and are used to detect the nut clamping status at the four points of the material handling machine. After the material handling machine picks up the nuts at the four points, it moves upward and away. During this process, the four nuts are aligned with the four detection probes 11 on the detection plate 10, which facilitates the detection of the nut clamping status at the four points of the material handling machine, thus providing multiple functions.

[0019] The support 5 has a guide rail 12 on its front side at the top, and a guide block 13 is movably mounted on the guide rail 12. The slide rod 6 is connected to the guide block 13. A reciprocating cylinder 14 is provided at one end of the front side of the top of the support 5, and the output end of the reciprocating cylinder 14 is connected to the guide block 13. In use, the reciprocating cylinder 14 pushes the guide block 13 to move along the guide rail 12, thereby changing the position of the slide rod 6. Vibrating feeding is performed by the vibrating feeding plate 3, and the nuts are conveyed to the outlet of the guide rail 4. Before this, the slide rod 6 moves so that the left end discharge hole 7 reaches the outlet of the guide rail 4 to receive one nut. Then the slide rod 6 returns to its original position so that the right end discharge hole 7 faces the outlet of the guide rail 4 to receive another nut. The left end discharge hole 7 reaches the pushing cylinder 8. When the subsequent material handling machine clamp comes down, the pushing cylinder 8 pushes the nut in the left end discharge hole 7, and the vibrating feeding plate 3 continues to feed, pushing the nut in the right end discharge hole 7, so that the material handling machine clamp can pick up nuts at two points at one time. Example

[0020] according to Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, this embodiment proposes a nut feeding device at the four corners of the lower outer casing of a battery, including a base 1 and an upper cover 2. The upper cover 2 is located above the base 1, and a detection component is provided on the upper front side of the upper cover 2. The base 1 has a vibrating feeding plate 3 on the rear side of its top. The vibrating feeding plate 3 is used to transport nuts. The output end of the vibrating feeding plate 3 is provided with a guide rail 4. The base 1 has a support 5 on the front side of its top. The support 5 has a sliding rod 6 on it. The sliding rod 6 has two sets of discharge holes 7. The support 5 has a pusher cylinder 8 at one end of its top rear side. The two sets of discharge holes 7 correspond to the output end of the pusher cylinder 8 and the outlet of the guide rail 4, respectively. In use, the vibrating feeding plate 3 feeds the nuts to the outlet of the guide rail 4. Before this, the sliding rod 6 moves, so that the left discharge hole 7 reaches the outlet of the guide rail 4 to receive one nut. Then the sliding rod 6 returns to its original position, so that the right discharge hole 7 faces the outlet of the guide rail 4 to receive another nut. The left discharge hole 7 reaches the pushing cylinder 8. When the subsequent material handling machine fixture comes down, the pushing cylinder 8 pushes the nut in the left discharge hole 7, and the vibrating feeding plate 3 continues to feed, pushing the nut in the right discharge hole 7. This makes it convenient for the material handling machine fixture to pick up nuts at two points at once, improving efficiency and stability, and meeting the needs of high-precision and high-efficiency modern intelligent manufacturing.

[0021] A first infrared probe 15 is installed on the support 5 located below the outlet of the guide rail 4, and the first infrared probe 15 is used to identify nuts. In use, the first infrared probe 15 is used to identify the nuts at the outlet of the guide rail 4, which facilitates the determination of material discharge and ensures that the material handling machine clamp can normally pick up the nuts for feeding.

[0022] The feed end of the guide rail 4 is equipped with a second infrared probe 16, which is used to identify nuts. In use, the second infrared probe 16 is used to identify nuts in the guide rail 4. If no nut is identified, it is determined that there is a shortage of material, and a signal is sent to the control center.

[0023] The nut feeding device at the four corners of the lower outer casing of the battery uses a vibrating feeding plate 3 to feed nuts to the outlet of the guide rail 4. Before this, the slide rod 6 moves, so that the left discharge hole 7 reaches the outlet of the guide rail 4 to receive one nut. Then the slide rod 6 returns to its original position, so that the right discharge hole 7 faces the outlet of the guide rail 4 to receive another nut. The left discharge hole 7 reaches the push cylinder 8. When the subsequent material handling machine fixture comes down, the push cylinder 8 pushes the nut in the left discharge hole 7, and the vibrating feeding plate 3 continues to feed, pushing the nut in the right discharge hole 7. This makes it convenient for the material handling machine fixture to pick up nuts at two points at once, improving efficiency and stability, and meeting the needs of high-precision and high-efficiency modern intelligent manufacturing. Furthermore, after the material handling machine clamp picks up the nuts at the four points, it moves upward and moves away. During this process, the nuts at the four points are aligned with the four detection probes 11 on the detection plate 10, which facilitates the detection of the nut clamping status at the four material handling positions, making it a versatile function.
