Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery production equipment technology, specifically to a powder storage rack. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of button batteries, battery powder needs to be quantitatively filled into multiple crucibles, and then the crucibles are transferred to a shelf for subsequent baking. For example, Chinese Patent 202323137253.7 discloses a multi-community connected crucible filling machine for lithium battery positive and negative electrode powder, including a storage mechanism and a feeding mechanism. The output end of the storage mechanism is connected to the feeding mechanism to drop the lithium battery positive and negative electrode powder from the storage mechanism into the feeding mechanism. The storage mechanism consists of multiple overlapping and connected storage silos, and the feeding mechanism consists of multiple feeding pipes, with one storage silo corresponding to one feeding pipe. The operator first needs to receive the crucibles filled with powder one by one at the discharge port of the distributor, and then manually move them to the shelf and stack them layer by layer for pushing into the subsequent drying oven.

[0003] Currently, this process is highly dependent on manual operation. Since the shelves are usually multi-layered and the powder and saggers have a certain weight, the cyclical operation of sorting, receiving, transferring and stacking is not only tedious and repetitive, but also labor-intensive and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned technical deficiencies and propose a powder storage rack to solve the technical problems of cumbersome and repetitive cyclical operations of distributing, receiving, transferring and stacking materials in the existing technology, as well as high labor intensity and low production efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: This utility model provides a powder storage rack, including: Frame; Slide rails, several slide rails are installed sequentially from top to bottom on the frame, dividing the frame into several layers; The guide cylinder is mounted on the frame and has openings corresponding to each layer of the frame; and The guide frame, which is slidably connected to the slide rail, is used to insert the sagger. It has a first position state where it slides to abut the inner wall of the guide cylinder and a second position state where it slides to close the opening. In the first position state, the guide frame intercepts the material above and guides it into the sagger inserted thereon. In the second position state, the guide cylinder extends to the guide frame of the next layer.

[0006] In some embodiments, the guide frame includes a base frame, a cover plate, and a hopper, the hopper being fixedly connected to the top of the base frame, and the cover plate being fixedly connected to one side of the top of the hopper.

[0007] In some embodiments, the slide rail is provided with a guide groove, the base frame is provided with a slider, and the slider is slidably connected to the guide groove.

[0008] In some embodiments, a spreading assembly is also included, which is mounted on the guide frame and has a spreading end that moves along the guide direction of the slide rail for spreading powder on the crucible.

[0009] In some embodiments, the paving assembly includes a split scraper that is detachably connected to the guide frame and flush with the top of the sagger, for sliding along the top of the sagger to pave the powder.

[0010] In some embodiments, the bottom of the split scraper is provided with a plurality of rake teeth.

[0011] In some embodiments, the tiling assembly further includes a sleeve having extensions extending to both sides, and the extensions having a position to slide into contact with each of the separate scrapers.

[0012] In some embodiments, the top of the guide cylinder is provided with a guide hopper.

[0013] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the opening is provided with a first chamfer, and the outer side of the cover plate is provided with a second chamfer that matches the first chamfer; the hopper is not higher than the bottom end of the second chamfer.

[0014] In some embodiments, the bottom end of the guide cylinder extends downward through the frame, and a receiving tray is inserted into the bottom of the frame.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the powder storage rack provided by this utility model receives materials by connecting to the upper material distributor through the material guide cylinder. The material guide racks of each layer are movable. After the upper layer of the sagger is filled with material, it is moved away so that the next layer of sagger can be filled. This forms a top-to-bottom filling process. After the overall filling is completed, the entire storage rack can be moved to the drying oven. The material receiving is integrated on the storage rack, eliminating the process of transfer and stacking. After the material receiving is completed, the storage rack can be directly pushed to the subsequent process operation. Attached Figure Description

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0019] To address the tedious and repetitive cycle of material distribution, receiving, transfer, and stacking, which results in high labor intensity and low production efficiency, this utility model provides a powder storage rack. This rack allows for material receiving via a guide cylinder connected to a material distributor. The movable guide racks allow for filling the upper layer of saggers with material before moving them to the next layer, creating a top-to-bottom filling process. After filling is complete, the entire rack is moved to the drying oven. This integrated material receiving process eliminates the need for transfer and stacking, allowing the rack to be directly pushed to subsequent processing steps after material receiving is complete.

[0020] It should be noted that the powder storage rack described in this utility model is used in, but not limited to, the button battery production process. For ease of explanation, this utility model only uses the application of the powder storage rack in the button battery production process as an example. The principle of the powder storage rack in other types of equipment is essentially the same as that in the button battery production process, and will not be described in detail here.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a powder storage rack for inserting saggers 7. The powder storage rack includes a frame body 1, slide rails 2, a guide cylinder 3, and a guide frame 4. Several slide rails 2 are installed sequentially from top to bottom on the frame body 1, dividing the frame body 1 into several layers. Each layer corresponds to a pair of slide rails 2, and a guide frame 4 is slidably connected between a pair of slide rails 2. The guide cylinder 3 is installed on the left side of the frame body, and an opening 301 corresponding to each layer of the frame body 1 is opened on the right side of the guide cylinder 3. The guide frame 4 is slidably connected to the slide rails 2 and is used to insert saggers. It has a first position state where it slides to abut the inner wall of the guide cylinder 3, and a second position state where it slides to close the opening 301. In the first position state, the guide frame 4 intercepts the material above and guides it into the inserted sagger. In the second position state, the guide cylinder 3 extends to the guide frame 4 of the next layer. The bottom of the frame body 1 is provided with several casters for easy movement.

[0022] In use, each layer is in its initial first position state. First, the sagger on the top layer guide frame 4 is filled with powder. Then, the guide frame 4 is pushed to move, so that the guide frame 4 switches to the second position state. The guide cylinder 3 passes through to the guide frame 4 of the next layer, and the powder is introduced into the sagger on the second layer guide frame 4.

[0023] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 To guide material and cut off the downward feeding path in the first position, and to block the feeding of this layer and allow the downward feeding path to continue in the second position, the guide frame 4 includes a base frame 41, a cover plate 42, and a feeding hopper 43. The feeding hopper 43 is fixedly connected to the top of the base frame 41, and the cover plate 42 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the feeding hopper 43. A handle is connected to one side of the base frame 41 for easy movement. In the first position, the cover plate 42 abuts against the inner wall of the guide cylinder 3, and the hopper 43 intercepts the lower channel from the inside of the guide cylinder 3, extends outward and passes through the opening 301 to the top of the sagger for material guidance; in the second position, the base frame 41 is pushed to move the sagger, cover plate 42 and hopper 43 on it, and the hopper 43 moves out of the guide cylinder 3, thus opening the downward channel, and the cover plate 42 covers the opening 301, blocking the channel from entering the layer from the opening 301.

[0024] For further details, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4To improve the stability of the sliding, the slide rail 2 is provided with a guide groove 201, and the base frame 41 is provided with a slider 401, and the slider 401 is slidably connected to the guide groove 201 to guide the sliding direction.

[0025] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In order to facilitate the flattening of the powder after it is fed into each sagger, a flattening component 5 is also included. The flattening component 5 is installed on the guide frame 4 and has a flattening end that moves along the guide direction of the slide rail 2 for flattening the powder on the sagger. The flattening action is performed by the lateral movement of the flattening end.

[0026] Specifically, the spreading component 5 includes a split scraper 51, which is detachably connected to the guide frame 4 and flush with the top of the sagger. It is used to slide along the top of the sagger to spread the powder. The split scraper 51 can be used to spread the powder in each layer of the sagger.

[0027] Understandably, the detachable connection can be made using a magnetic connection, which makes it easy to magnetically attach to the base frame 41 of the guide rack 4. After disassembly, the flattening action can be performed manually.

[0028] Furthermore, the bottom of the split scraper 51 is provided with several rake teeth 51a, which avoids unnecessary compaction of the powder in advance during the spreading process.

[0029] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the overall spreading action after all the powder has been added to all the saggers, the spreading assembly 5 also includes a sleeve 52, the sleeve 52 having extension frames 52a extending to both sides, and the extension frames 52a having a position to slide to abut against each of the separate scrapers 51. The connection between the split scraper 51 and the extension frame 52a is still magnetically connected. In the initial state, the split scraper 51 is magnetically attracted to the rear frame of the base frame 41 and the extension frame 52a. When the base frame 41 of each layer moves independently, the extension frame 52a is manually restricted to follow the movement. Then the base frame 41 drives the split scraper 51 to move and separate from the extension frame 52a. Each layer follows the above operation in sequence. After the powder is added to each layer, the sleeve frame 52 is moved. The extension frame 52a abuts against and is magnetically attracted to each split scraper 51. When the extension frame 52a is moved, since the cover plate 42 of the guide frame 4 is limited, it can be moved to the right to separate the split scraper 51 from the base frame 41 and perform synchronous laying of each layer.

[0030] Understandably, magnetic attraction can be achieved by using magnetic sheets and iron sheets to attract each other, which is existing technology and will not be elaborated here.

[0031] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The top of the guide cylinder 3 is provided with a guide hopper 302, which facilitates material receiving and guiding.

[0032] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The inner wall of the opening 301 is provided with a first chamfer 301a, and the outer side of the cover plate 42 is provided with a second chamfer 42a that matches the first chamfer 301a; the hopper 43 is not higher than the bottom end of the second chamfer 42a, so as to facilitate the cover plate 42 to cover the opening 301 and restrict the cover plate 42 from falling out of the opening 301.

[0033] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In order to collect any spilled powder, the bottom end of the guide cylinder 3 extends downward through the frame 1. A receiving tray 6 is inserted into the bottom of the frame 1. The overflowing or spilled powder is collected at the bottom of the guide cylinder 3 by the receiving tray 6, which facilitates cleaning.

[0034] To better understand this utility model, the following is combined with... Figures 1 to 4 The technical solution of this utility model is described in detail as follows: The shelf is pushed to the designated work position by the casters at the bottom. The mortars 7 to be filled are inserted into the base frame 41 of each layer of the guide rack 4. The split scraper 51 of the laying component 5 is magnetically attached to the rear frame of the base frame 41 and the extension frame 52a of the sleeve frame 52. At this time, all guide racks 4 are in the first position, the cover plate 42 abuts against the inner wall of the guide cylinder 3, and the hopper 43 is suspended above the mortar 7 through the opening 301, while the downward channel is closed. Battery powder is added from the top hopper 302 of the feed cylinder 3. The powder falls to the top hopper 43 and is guided into the crucible 7 on the feed rack 4 of that layer. After the top layer is filled, the operator pushes the feed rack 4 of that layer to the right along the slide rail 2 with the handle to switch it from the first position to the second position. The filling and pushing switching steps are repeated to fill the crucible 7 of all layers from top to bottom. After the crucible 7 of each layer is filled, a collective flat laying operation is performed, or a flat laying operation is performed individually.

[0035] The specific embodiments of this utility model described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made based on the technical concept of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.
