Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of encoder tooling technology, and in particular to a universal encoder structure for top covers. It is mainly used for positioning, stacking, and clamping operations of battery top covers, and is suitable for batch processing, assembly, and warehousing stacking scenarios of top covers of different specifications. Background Technology
[0002] In existing battery cover processing and stacking operations, the encoder disc, as the core tooling for cover positioning, support, and transfer, is widely used in production lines, warehouses, and other scenarios. Currently, most battery cover encoder discs on the market are fixed structures with fixed overall dimensions. The spacing between the slots and the clamping width on both sides cannot be flexibly adjusted according to different models and sizes of battery covers. For battery covers of different lengths and widths, companies need to purchase and store various sizes of dedicated encoder discs, which not only significantly increases the procurement cost of tooling equipment and storage space, but also leads to cumbersome tooling switching on the production line, poor versatility, and seriously affects production efficiency. At the same time, the traditional fixed encoder disc's single-slot structure cannot adapt to the precise positioning of multiple battery cover sizes, easily causing problems such as cover misalignment, loosening, and irregular stacking, which can easily cause damage to the covers and make it difficult to guarantee product yield. Based on the above-mentioned shortcomings of existing technologies, there is an urgent need to design a universal encoder disc structure for battery covers that is highly versatile, easy to adjust, accurately positioned, and highly stable. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to design a universal encoder structure for the top cover in order to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned technologies.
[0004] This utility model designs a universal encoder structure for a top cover, including a main frame and side frames disposed on the front and rear sides of the main frame. The left and right ends of the main frame are respectively provided with first end plates. The side frames include side plates and second end plates connected to the left and right ends of the side plates. The first end plates and second end plates on the same side are slidably connected. The two side frames can move relative to each other in the front-back direction to adjust the distance between the two side frames. A limiting structure is provided between the first end plate and the second end plate on the same side. The limiting structure is used to lock the first end plate and the second end plate to each other after the second end plate moves into place. The inner sidewalls of the two side plates opposite each other are provided with first locking grooves for limiting the end of the top cover.
[0005] Preferably, the first end plate has a groove, and the second end plate has a protrusion that slides with the groove; or the first end plate has a protrusion, and the second end plate has a groove that slides with the protrusion.
[0006] Further optimization involves the limiting structure comprising an oblong hole, a limiting hole, and a fastener. The oblong hole is formed on the first end plate and extends along the moving direction of the second end plate. The limiting hole is formed on the second end plate. The fastener passes through the oblong hole and the limiting hole to achieve locking.
[0007] Preferably, the main frame is also provided with a partition, the left and right ends of which are respectively connected to two first end plates. The front and rear sides of the partition are respectively opposite to the side plates on both sides. The front and rear sides of the partition are provided with second locking grooves, which are aligned with the first locking grooves on the corresponding side plates to cooperate with the limiting top cover.
[0008] Further optimization involves detachably mounting the partition onto the main frame.
[0009] Further optimization involves providing a slot on the upper surface of the first end plate and protrusions at both ends of the partition, with the protrusions engaging with the slot.
[0010] Further optimization involves providing a latching groove on the side wall of the slot, and a latching protrusion on the protrusion corresponding to the latching groove, which engages and limits the latching position with the latching groove.
[0011] Further optimization involves assembling a split pad within the groove. One end of the pad is tightly pressed against the inner wall of the groove end, while the other end abuts against the protrusion. By replacing pads of different specifications and sizes, the quantitative adjustment of the distance between the two side frames can be achieved.
[0012] Further optimization involves providing several locking blocks spaced apart along the left and right sides of the side plates and partitions. A gap is left between two adjacent locking blocks on the side plates to serve as a first locking groove; a gap is left between two adjacent locking blocks on the partitions to serve as a second locking groove.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model achieves flexible adjustment of the distance between the two side frames through the sliding fit between the side frame and the main frame. It can be adapted to the stacking of top cover slots of different specifications and sizes without the need to replace the overall tooling, which greatly reduces the types of tooling purchased and storage costs for enterprises. It is suitable for batch production of multiple types of top covers, so it has strong versatility and wide applicability. 2. This utility model features a sliding fit structure between the groove and the protrusion, combined with a limiting and locking structure consisting of a waist-shaped hole, a limiting hole, and fasteners. This allows for precise locking after the side frame is adjusted, effectively preventing displacement and loosening of the side frame during operation, ensuring the stability of the top cover's positioning, and eliminating problems such as top cover offset and impact. Simultaneously, the use of separate pads of different sizes enables quantitative adjustment of the spacing, further improving adjustment accuracy and adapting to standardized operations. Therefore, the adjustment is precise and highly stable. 3. By setting the first slot on the side panel and the second slot on the partition, a symmetrical slotting structure is formed, which can accurately limit the two ends of the top cover, realize the orderly stacking of the top cover, and improve the uniformity of batch stacking. 4. The partition adopts a detachable connection structure with slots and protrusions, and buckle grooves and buckle protrusions, which makes disassembly and assembly simple and quick, and facilitates the replacement of parts and cleaning and maintenance in the future. At the same time, the partition can be flexibly added or removed according to the operation requirements, so that two sets of top covers can be stacked on the same encoder at the same time, which is more flexible.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] This utility model provides a universal encoder structure for top covers, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a main frame 1 and two side frames 2. Two side frames 2 are distributed opposite each other on the front and rear sides of the main frame 1. The main frame 1 has a first end plate 11 on both its left and right sides, and the first end plates 11 on the front and rear sides are parallel to each other. Each side frame 2 includes a side plate 21 and second end plates 22 connected to the left and right sides of the side plate 21. The side plates 21 of the two side frames 2 are parallel to each other, and the second end plates 22 on the same side frame 2 are parallel to each other. The second end plates 22 on the left and right sides correspond to the first end plates 11 on the same side of the main frame 1, that is, one first end plate 11 corresponds to two second end plates 22. Each second end plate 22 is slidably connected to the inner side of the corresponding first end plate 11, allowing the two side frames 2 to slide back and forth relative to the main frame 1, thereby achieving adjustable spacing between the two side frames 2. Figure 4 As shown, the inner walls of the two side plates 21 opposite each other are provided with first locking grooves 23. The first locking grooves 23 serve as locking structures. The first locking grooves 23 on the two side plates 21 respectively lock the two ends of the battery top cover, so that the battery top cover can be locked between the two side plates 21. In this embodiment, multiple locking blocks 43 are arranged at intervals along the length direction on the inner walls of the two side plates 21 opposite each other. A fixed gap is reserved between each pair of adjacent locking blocks 43. This gap forms the first locking groove 23. Thus, multiple locking blocks 43 form multiple first locking grooves 23. The two corresponding first locking grooves 23 of the two side plates 21 position one battery top cover, thereby realizing batch positioning of battery top covers. The end of the battery top cover is inserted into the first locking groove 23. The distance between two adjacent locking blocks 43 is greater than the thickness of the battery top cover. Therefore, the first locking groove 23 will not squeeze the surface of the end of the battery top cover. That is, the first locking groove 23 only plays a positioning role for the battery top cover and will not damage the surface of the battery top cover.
[0026] The inner side of the first end plate 11 has an elongated groove 12 extending in the front-to-back direction. The outer side of the second end plate 22 has an integrally formed protrusion 24 that matches the groove 12. The protrusion 24 can be embedded in the groove 12 and slide along the length of the groove 12, realizing a sliding guide fit between the side frame 2 and the main frame 1. Ultimately, the relative distance between the two side frames 2 can be adjusted, thereby allowing the positioning of battery top covers of different lengths. In other embodiments, the first end plate 11 can also have a protrusion 24, and the second end plate 22 can have a groove 12, which can also achieve a sliding fit function. Both structures are within the protection scope of this utility model. The fit between the groove 12 and the protrusion 24 can effectively limit the left-right and up-down displacement of the side frame 2, retaining only the front-to-back sliding freedom, ensuring the smoothness of the adjustment process.
[0027] To ensure the stability of the adjusted structure and prevent displacement of the side frame 2 during operation, a limiting structure 3 is provided between each first end plate 11 and the second end plate 22, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the limiting structure 3 includes an oblong hole 31, a limiting hole 32, and a fastener 33. The oblong hole 31 is formed through the surface of the first end plate 11, and the length direction of the oblong hole 31 is consistent with the sliding direction of the second end plate 22, providing a travel margin for the sliding adjustment of the side frame 2. The limiting hole 32 is formed at the position of the oblong hole 31 on the second end plate 22. The limiting hole 32 is a circular through hole. The fastener 33 adopts a bolt and nut combination structure, and the fastener 33 passes through the oblong hole 31 and the limiting hole 32. When the side frame 2 is adjusted to the designated position, tightening the fastener 33 can achieve rigid locking of the first end plate 11 and the second end plate 22, preventing loosening and displacement, and ensuring the stability of the encoder operation.
[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, a partition 4 is detachably installed on the main frame 1. The partition 4 is usually located in the middle of the main frame 1. The left and right ends of the partition 4 are respectively connected to the two first end plates 11. The front and rear sides of the partition 4 are respectively positioned opposite the front and rear side plates 21. Multiple sets of second locking slots 44 are arranged at intervals along the length of the front and rear sides of the partition 4. The second locking slots 44 correspond one-to-one with the first locking slots 23 on the side plates 21 and are arranged symmetrically. The second locking slot 44 on one side forms a locking structure with the corresponding first locking slot 23 to position the battery top cover. Therefore, the front and rear sides of the partition 4 can simultaneously position two rows of battery top covers, forming a batch placement. With the two side frames 2 adjusting their positions relative to the main frame 1, two rows of battery top covers of different lengths can be positioned simultaneously, which not only improves positioning efficiency but also has flexibility and versatility.
[0029] The partition 4 adopts a detachable installation structure, specifically: rectangular slots 13 are provided on the upper surfaces of both first end plates 11, and the slots 13 are arranged to be through or partially through in the left-right direction, such as... Figure 9 As shown, the left and right ends of the partition 4 are integrally formed with protrusions 41 that match the size of the slot 13. The protrusions 41 can be precisely embedded into the slot 13, realizing the quick positioning and installation of the partition 4; to further enhance the connection firmness, such as Figure 6 As shown, the outer wall of the slot 13 has a latching groove 14 that communicates with the slot 13. The outer wall of the protrusion 41 of the partition 4 has a latching protrusion 42 integrally formed at the position of the latching groove 14. When the protrusion 41 is fully inserted into the slot 13, the latching protrusion 42 is engaged in the latching groove 14 to form a latch, which serves as a limiting structure 3 to prevent the partition 4 from falling out. The installation is firm and the disassembly is convenient. The partition 4 can be removed by simply pressing the latching protrusion 42 slightly, which can adapt to different operating needs.
[0030] To increase the installation stability of the partition 4, a positioning protrusion 45 is usually provided at the bottom of the partition 4, and a recessed hole 15 is provided at the bottom of the main frame 1. The positioning protrusion 45 is inserted into the recessed hole 15 to form a positioning and enhance the stability of the partition 4.
[0031] To achieve precise quantitative adjustment of the spacing between the side frames 2, a split pad 5 is installed inside the groove 12. The pad 5 is a hard, wear-resistant block or strip structure, and different sizes can be selected according to requirements. One end of the pad 5 is tightly abutted against the inner wall of the end of the groove 12, and the other end is tightly abutted against the side wall of the protrusion 24 of the second end plate 22. By replacing the pad 5 with different lengths, the sliding stroke of the protrusion 24 can be precisely limited, thereby quantitatively controlling the spacing between the two side frames 2, achieving standardized and precise adjustment, avoiding errors from manual adjustment, and adapting to standardized stacking operations of top covers of different specifications.
[0032] Similarly, such as Figure 3 As shown, several locking blocks 43 are also distributed at intervals along the left and right directions on the front and rear sides of the partition 4. A fixed gap is reserved between two adjacent locking blocks 43, which forms the second locking groove 44. The locking blocks 43 protrude from the inner side wall of the side plate 21 and the side of the partition 4. Therefore, the battery top cover can be easily and stably inserted into the first locking groove 23 and the second locking groove 44, and the top cover is stacked synchronously, which greatly improves the work efficiency.
[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During operation, according to the length specifications of the battery top cover to be stacked, loosen all fasteners 33, select the corresponding size pad 5 as needed and install it inside the groove 12, push the side frame 2 to slide along the mating direction of the groove 12 and the protrusion 24, adjust the two side plates 21 to the appropriate spacing, tighten the fasteners 33 after adjustment to complete the locking, and then insert both ends of the battery top cover into the first locking groove 23 of the side plate 21 and the second locking groove 44 of the partition plate 4 in sequence. At this time, a row of batteries can be stacked. For the battery top cover, if the protrusions 41 at both ends of the partition 4 are aligned with the slots 13 of the first end plate 11 and inserted, the partition 4 is fixed by the cooperation of the buckle protrusions 42 and the buckle slots 14. Finally, the two ends of the battery top cover are sequentially inserted into the first slot 23 of the side plate 21 and the second slot 44 of the corresponding partition 4, so that the two rows of battery top covers can be neatly stacked. When it is necessary to adapt to other specifications of battery top covers, it is only necessary to remove the pad 5, loosen the fasteners 33 and readjust the spacing. The operation is convenient and highly versatile.
[0034] This utility model can be divided into models with partitions and models without partitions, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 All models shown are those with partitions; such as Figure 7 The model shown is the one without a partition. In this case, the first end plate 11 does not need to have a slot 13 and a snap-fit groove 14. Apart from whether or not a partition is provided and whether or not slot 13 and snap-fit groove 14 are provided, the two models are identical in structure.
[0035] This utility model is not limited to the above-described preferred embodiments. Anyone can derive other forms of products under the guidance of this utility model. However, regardless of any changes made in their shape or structure, any technical solution that is the same as or similar to this application falls within the protection scope of this utility model.
