[0011] Beneficial effects

[0012] This invention provides an automatic sorting device for energy storage battery cells. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0013] (1) The automatic sorting device for energy storage battery cells has a lifting device installed inside the guide device. The lifting device is slidably connected to the guide device. A placement plate is installed above the lifting device. A placement cavity is opened on the upper surface of the placement plate. The inner diameter of the placement cavity is the same as the outer diameter of the battery cell. A discharge device is installed on the upper surface of the guide device. The height of the discharge device is the same as the height of the battery cell after it is normally placed into the placement cavity. This makes it possible for the battery cell to deform on the periphery and not be able to be normally placed into the placement cavity. During the sliding process of the lifting device, the height of the battery cell that has not been fully placed into the placement cavity will collide with the discharge device, thereby squeezing and driving the battery cell to slide out of the placement cavity, thus realizing the automatic sorting of the battery cells.

[0014] (2) The automatic sorting device for energy storage battery cells has an mounting plate on the upper surface of the lifting plate and a placement plate fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting plate. The mounting plate is movably attached to the lifting plate, so that the placement cavity with the same diameter as the battery cell can be selected for installation according to the battery cell diameter. An adjustment device is provided between the mounting plate and the sliding plate.

[0021] 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. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic sorting device for energy storage battery cells, including two bases 1 in the form of storage boxes, a guide device 2 fixedly connected between the two bases 1, the guide device 2 including two guide rods 21, a lifting device 3 slidably connected between the two guide rods 21, a lifting plate 85 provided above the lifting device 3, an mounting plate 7 snapped onto the upper surface of the lifting plate 85, a placement plate 71 fixedly connected above the mounting plate 7, a placement cavity 72 extending through the other side of the upper surface of the placement plate 71, a battery cell body 4 placed in the placement cavity 72, a discharge device 5 fixedly connected to the middle of the upper surface of the guide rods 21, the discharge device 5 including a discharge plate 51 extending to the top of the placement plate 71, and an inclined surface 52 provided on the side of the two discharge plates 51 near the lifting device 3.

[0023] Specifically, a lifting device 3 is provided inside the guide device 2, and the lifting device 3 is slidably connected to the guide device 2. A placement plate 71 is provided above the lifting device 3, and a placement cavity 72 is opened on the upper surface of the placement plate 71. The inner diameter of the placement cavity 72 is the same as the outer diameter of the battery cell. A discharge device 5 is provided on the upper surface of the guide device 2. The height of the discharge device 5 is the same as the height of the battery cell after it is normally placed into the placement cavity 72. This means that when the battery cell is deformed on the periphery and cannot be normally placed into the placement cavity 72, the height of the battery cell that has not fully entered the placement cavity 72 will collide with the discharge device 5 during the sliding process of the lifting device 3, thereby squeezing and driving the battery cell to slide out of the placement cavity 72, thus realizing the automatic sorting of the battery cells.

[0024] An mounting plate 7 is provided on the upper surface of the lifting plate 85, and a placement plate 71 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting plate 7. The mounting plate 7 is movably snapped onto the lifting plate 85, so that a placement cavity 72 with the same diameter as the battery cell can be selected for installation according to the diameter of the battery cell. An adjustment device 8 is provided between the mounting plate 7 and the slide plate 31. The adjustment device 8 can drive the height of the lifting plate 85 to adjust, so that battery cells of different diameters can be screened.

[0025] The lifting device 3 includes a slide plate 31. The two guide rods 21 are provided with a first T-shaped groove 22 on the side that is close to each other. A first T-shaped block 311 is fixedly connected to the side of the slide plate 31. An adjustment device 8 is provided between the lifting plate 85 and the slide plate 31. A drive device 6 is provided between the slide plate 31 and the base 1.

[0026] Specifically, the cooperation between the first T-shaped groove 22 and the first T-shaped block 311 enables the slide plate 31 to slide stably between the guide rods 21. The adjustment device 8 controls the lifting plate 85 to slide up and down so that the height of the battery cells of different diameters can be the same as the height of the discharge device 5. The drive device 6 provides power for the sliding of the lifting device 3.

[0027] The drive device 6 includes an electric telescopic rod that is fixedly connected to the slide plate 31 and the base 1 at both ends respectively. The adjustment device 8 includes two slide rods 81 that are slidably connected to the slide plate 31. Multiple support rods 82 are provided between the slide rods 81 and the lifting plate 85. The two ends of the support rods 82 are rotatably connected to the slide rods 81 and the lifting plate 85 respectively.

[0028] Specifically, the electric telescopic rod is existing technology, which drives the slide plate 31 to slide back and forth between the guide rods 21. The slide rods 81 slide closer or further apart, and under the support of the support rod 82, the lifting plate 85 is driven to adjust its height up and down.

[0029] The upper surface of the slide plate 31 is fixedly connected to a boss 84 on the side of the two slide rods 81 that are far apart from each other. One of the bosses 84 is rotatably connected to a bolt 83 on one side. The end of the bolt 83 passes through the two bosses 84 and the two slide rods 81 in sequence.

[0030] Specifically, the bolt 83 rotates, and the threaded action causes the slide bar 81 to slide on the slide plate 31.

[0031] The bolt 83 has a positive thread and a negative thread at both ends of its periphery. The bolt 83 is threaded to the two slide rods 81 through the positive thread and the negative thread respectively. The lower surface of the slide rod 81 is fixedly connected to the second T-shaped block 811. The upper surface of the slide plate 31 has a second T-shaped groove 312 that matches the second T-shaped block 811.

[0032] Specifically, when the bolt 83 rotates, the positive and negative threads cause the two sliding rods 81 to slide closer or further apart. The cooperation between the second T-block 811 and the second T-groove 312 enables the sliding rods 81 to slide stably on the slide plate 31.

[0033] Multiple mushroom head clips 73 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the mounting plate 7. The surface of the lifting plate 85 is provided with a slot 851 that matches the mushroom head clips 73. The mushroom head clips 73 are made of flexible rubber.

[0034] Specifically, the mushroom-shaped clip 73 and the slot 851 work together to allow the mounting plate 7 to be attached to the lifting plate 85, enabling its easy installation and removal.
