[0027] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0028] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, when terms such as "set in," "connected," or "linked" appear, these terms should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or a connection through one or more intermediate media. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances. The directional terms appearing in this utility model are for the purpose of better describing the characteristics of the features and the relationships between them. It should be understood that when the placement direction of this utility model changes, the direction of the characteristics of the features and the relationships between them also changes accordingly. Therefore, directional terms do not constitute an absolute limitation on the characteristics of the features and the relationships between them in space, but only a relative limitation.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a guide plate 1 for the production of button batteries. The button battery has a diameter of D, a thickness of H, and a rounded corner structure at the negative electrode edge. The guide plate 1 includes several connected guide blocks 2. The guide blocks 2 are provided with a first guide groove 20, a second guide groove 22, and a through hole 21 connecting the first guide groove 20 and the second guide groove 22. The direction of movement of the button battery in the guide block 2 is used as the distinction. The side where the button battery enters the guide block 2 is the front side of the guide block 2. The first guide groove 20 is provided on the front side of the guide block 2, and the second guide groove 22 is located on the rear side of the guide block 2.

[0030] The width of the first guide groove 20 is greater than D and less than 2D, and the depth of the first guide groove 20 is greater than H and less than D; the width of the second guide groove 22 is greater than H and less than D, and the distance between the top surface of the second guide groove 22 and the bottom surface of the guide block 2 is greater than D; a tilting part 25 is provided on the rear side of the second guide groove 22, and the edge of the tilting part 25 is provided with a chamfer 250, and the distance between the highest point of the chamfer 250 and the bottom surface of the guide block 2 is less than D; the width of the through hole 21 is greater than H and less than D;

[0031] The guide block 2 is also provided with an adjusting block 3, which can slide on the guide block 2. The rear side of the adjusting block 3 is provided with an adjusting part 33, the rear side of the adjusting part 33 is provided with a tilting part 25, and the front side of the adjusting part 33 is provided with a guide slope 34. The adjusting block 3 is provided with a threaded seat 31, and an adjusting screw 5 is provided in the threaded seat 31. The adjusting screw 5 is used to move the adjusting part 33 closer to or further away from the guide block 2. The guide block 2 is provided with an auxiliary hole 27 at the corresponding threaded seat 31. A return spring 32 is provided in the auxiliary hole 27, and one end of the return spring 32 abuts against the threaded seat 31.

[0032] Some button cell battery models have the same diameter, and their main difference lies in the thickness of the button cell battery. For example, L1154, L1142, L1130 and L1121 have a diameter of 11.6mm. However, the thickness of some button cell battery models varies greatly. The conventional guide plate 1 can only be used for button cell batteries of one thickness. If you want to sort button cell batteries of different models, you must replace the guide plate 1 with a suitable one.

[0033] With the above design, the user can adjust the position of the adjusting block 3 by rotating the adjusting screw 5. Driven by the adjusting screw 5, the adjusting part 33 on the guide block 2 will move closer to or further away from the side of the second guide groove 22, so that the width of the second guide groove 22 changes. The user can actively adjust the width of the second guide groove 22 according to the thickness of the button battery, ensuring that the width of the second guide groove 22 and the thickness of the button battery are always kept at a gap of 0.2-0.5mm, and ensuring that the chamfer 250 of the button battery is just at the chamfer 250 of the edge of the tilting part 25.

[0034] Since the guide plate 1 is usually tilted, regardless of whether the button battery is facing upwards or downwards, after entering the first guide groove 20, the button battery will be guided by gravity to the through hole 21. Driven by the reciprocating motor 8 (described below), it will make a horizontal reciprocating motion. Under the action of inertia, the button battery will be shaken into the through hole 21. At the same time, the button battery entering the through hole 21 will change from a flat state to a vertical state. The vertical button battery continues to roll in the second guide groove 22 under the guidance of gravity. When the button battery reaches the tilting part 25, since the negative edge of the button battery is rounded, the button battery entering the tilting part 25 is tilted down by the cooperation of the rounded corner and the chamfer 250. The tilted button battery will always face the positive side. The button cell battery is positioned upwards. When the button cell battery falls from the through hole 21 into the second guide groove 22, the button cell battery with its positive terminal on the left is defined as the first state, and the button cell battery with its positive terminal on the right is defined as the second state. When the guide plate 1 moves to the left, the positive terminal of the button cell battery in the first state will abut against the chamfer 250 area to prevent it from tipping over. However, the interference between the rounded corner and the chamfer 250 of the button cell battery in the second state is less. The button cell battery that is no longer restricted will tip over with its positive terminal facing upwards. When the guide plate 1 moves to the right, the states of the button cell batteries in the first and second states are reversed, but the button cell battery will still tip over with its positive terminal facing upwards, ensuring that the output button cell battery always presents a positive terminal facing upwards state.

[0035] If the gap between the button battery and the second guide groove 22 is too large, the button battery falling into the second guide groove 22 will be tilted and fall down in the initial tilted state; when the adjusting block 3 is adjusted to the appropriate position, the tilted button battery will be guided back to the vertical state by the guide slope 34.

[0036] In this embodiment, a limiting guide rail 26 is provided on the side of the guide block 2, and a limiting groove 30 corresponding to the limiting guide rail 26 is provided on the adjusting block 3.

[0037] Through the above design scheme, the cooperation between the limiting guide rail 26 and the limiting slide 30 can make the movement of the adjusting block 3 smoother, and the return spring 32 in the auxiliary hole 27 can reduce the shaking of the adjusting block 3.

[0038] In this embodiment, the guide block 2 is provided with matching mounting rails 28 and mounting grooves 29 on both sides, and the top surface of the guide block 2 is provided with a locking groove 23. A locking block 24 is installed in the locking groove 23, and the locking block 24 is used to lock the adjacent guide block 2.

[0039] Through the above design scheme, the cooperation between the mounting guide rail 28 and the mounting groove 29 can connect multiple sets of guide blocks 2 together. At the same time, the user can adjust the number of guide blocks 2 in the guide plate 1 according to the processing requirements. The locking block 24 in the locking groove 23 can further lock the adjacent guide blocks 2 to prevent the guide blocks 2 from sliding.

[0040] In this embodiment, baffles 4 are provided on both sides of the guide plate 1. Mounting guide rails 28 and mounting grooves 29 are respectively provided on the baffles 4 on both sides. Locking grooves 23 are also provided on the baffles 4.

[0041] In this embodiment, an adjustment knob 50 is provided at one end of the adjusting screw 5.

[0042] Through the above design scheme, the baffles 4 on both sides of the guide plate 1 can connect to other components or driving devices. At the same time, the baffles 4 can also gather multiple sets of guide blocks 2. The adjustment knob 50 on the adjustment screw 5 can facilitate the user to adjust the width of the second guide groove 22.

[0043] like Figures 8 to 9 As shown, according to a second aspect of the present invention, the present invention also provides a sorting device, including the aforementioned guide plate 1 and a base plate 6. The guide plate 1 is mounted on the base plate 6. A feeding assembly 7 and a sorting assembly 9 are provided on the base plate 6. The feeding assembly 7 includes a flow guide plate 70 and a flow guide pressure plate 71. The flow guide plate 70 is mounted on the base plate 6 and is located in front of the guide plate 1. The flow guide pressure plate 71 is mounted above the flow guide plate 70. A feeding frame 72 is provided on the flow guide plate 70. A soft rubber strip 73 is provided at the bottom of the feeding frame 72. The soft rubber strip 73 is used to control the number of layers of button batteries entering the guide plate 1. The sorting assembly 9 includes a sorting plate 90 and a sorting pressure plate 91. The sorting plate 90 is mounted on the base plate 6 and is located behind the guide plate 1. A sorting groove 92 is provided on the sorting plate 90. The sorting pressure plate 91 is mounted on the sorting plate 90.

[0044] In this embodiment, a reciprocating motor 8 is provided on the substrate 6, which is used to drive the guide plate 1 to reciprocate on the substrate 6.

[0045] With the above design, users only need to pour the button batteries into the feeding frame 72. Under the action of gravity, the button batteries in the feeding frame 72 will enter the guide plate 1 through the gap between the guide plate 70 and the guide pressure plate 71. When the button batteries are stacked, because the coefficient of friction between the second layer of button batteries and the first layer of button batteries is small, the higher layer of button batteries will be swept off by the soft rubber strip 73 to ensure that only one layer of button batteries enters the guide plate 1, avoiding blockage. The button batteries corrected by the guide plate 1 will enter the sorting plate 90 with the positive terminal facing up, and then be sorted and output sequentially through the sorting slot 92 for easy packaging by the staff.

[0046] The present invention provides a guide plate 1 and sorting device for button battery production. Compared with the prior art, by rotating the adjusting screw 5 to move the adjusting block 3 closer to or further away from the second guide groove 22, the width of the second guide groove 22 is just right to match the corresponding model of button battery, thereby improving the versatility of the equipment.

[0047] Where there is no conflict, the above embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model.
