[0002] In the field of electric vehicles and energy storage, battery packs, as core energy storage devices, are usually assembled from multiple cells in a modular manner and encapsulated in a box structure. The outer box cover needs to be pre-embedded with conductive terminals and fixing nuts during the manufacturing process to achieve electrical connection and mechanical fixation functions. In existing technologies, the aforementioned pre-embedded process is usually carried out manually. That is, the operator needs to manually position and place the terminals, nuts, and steel sleeves on the workbench before proceeding with subsequent processes. This process has technical defects such as low automation and many manual interventions. Specifically, the manual placement of terminals and nuts leads to limited production efficiency, and manual placement has certain accuracy fluctuations, which in turn affects the reliability of subsequent electrical connections and the performance of the enclosure. In addition, manual operation requires a large working space and has problems such as high repetitive labor intensity and high labor costs, making it difficult to meet the process requirements of efficient, accurate, and low-cost battery pack mass production. Therefore, this utility model proposes a feeding device for battery external enclosure top cover components to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content

In use, terminals 5 are conveyed to one side via a conveyor belt 2, and nuts 6 and steel sleeves 24 are conveyed to the outlet via a vibratory feeder 3. The multi-axis guide rail drives the grippers to move in multiple axes, facilitating the gripping of terminals 5, nuts 6, and steel sleeves 24, and delivering them to designated positions on the loading platform 4. This allows for convenient positioning and gripping by robotic arms in subsequent processes, eliminating the need for manual operation, resulting in higher efficiency and precision, and meeting the high-efficiency, precise, and low-cost process requirements for large-scale battery pack production.

[0017] The top of the loading platform 4 is equipped with a terminal station 7, a nut station 8, and a steel sleeve station 25. Each of these stations is equipped with an infrared sensor for workpiece identification. The terminal station 7, nut station 8, and steel sleeve station 25 are used to place the terminal 5, nut 6, and steel sleeve 24, respectively. In use, the multi-axis guide rail drives the gripper to move in multiple axes, facilitating the clamping of the terminal 5, nut 6, and steel sleeve 24, and delivering them to the loading platform 4. The terminal station 7, nut station 8, and steel sleeve station 25 are used to place the terminal 5, nut 6, and steel sleeve 24, respectively, and infrared identification of the workpiece triggers subsequent operation processes.

[0018] The discharge end of the conveyor belt 2 is equipped with an infrared sensor, which is used to identify the terminal 5 delivered to the discharge end. In use, the terminal 5 is conveyed to one side by the conveyor belt 2, and the infrared sensor identifies the terminal 5 delivered to the discharge end, triggering the subsequent grippers to clamp it.

[0019] The multi-axis guide rail includes a first guide rail 9 and a second guide rail 10, which are respectively located at both ends of the top of the base 1. A first movable seat 11 is movably mounted on the first guide rail 9, and a third guide rail 12 is provided at one end of the first movable seat 11.
