Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of button battery production equipment, and more specifically, to an automatic loading and unloading mechanism for button battery dispensing trays. Background Technology

[0002] Button batteries, also known as coin cells, are batteries that are shaped like a small button. Generally, they have a larger diameter and a thinner thickness.

[0003] A common button cell battery structure, as shown in the document with application number CN202111327194.2 entitled "A Button Cell Battery with Good Sealing and Packaging Method", includes an upper cover, a lower cover, a negative terminal, and an adhesive film. The upper cover has a clearance hole at its upper end. The negative terminal includes a contact end and a support end. The contact end is located in the middle of the support end, and it is adapted to the clearance hole and extends partially upward from the clearance hole. The support end is located directly below the upper cover, and its upper end is bonded to the lower end of the upper cover by the adhesive film. A first adhesive application area is formed between the upper surface of the support end near the contact end and the corresponding clearance hole and contact end. A first adhesive layer is provided within the first adhesive application area. The first adhesive layer is bonded to the contact end, support end, and adhesive film surrounding the first adhesive layer.

[0004] Therefore, in the manufacturing of button batteries, dispensing equipment is needed to apply adhesive to components such as the positive electrode casing. However, button battery manufacturers generally require workers to place trays containing the button batteries onto the dispensing machine during the dispensing process. The trays are then removed after dispensing is complete. This process cannot be automated, resulting in high labor costs and difficulty in improving production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0024] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic loading and unloading mechanism for button battery dispensing trays, including a tray holder 1. A dispensing robotic arm 2 is arranged above the tray holder 1, with a feeding track 3 at the front end and a discharging track 4 at the rear end. The tray holder 1 opens towards the feeding track 3. A tray push rod 5 is arranged on the side of the feeding track 3 opposite to the tray holder 1. A tray gripping arm 6 is arranged above the tray holder 1 and the discharging track 4. Multiple vertically downward vacuum suction cups 7 are arranged at the front end of the tray gripping arm 6 and located on the same horizontal plane.

[0025] In actual use, the feeding track 3 transports the tray containing the button battery components to be glued to the opening of the tray holder 1. Then, the tray pusher 5 pushes the tray into the tray holder 1 and fixes it in place. After the glue dispensing robot arm 2 has finished its operation, the vacuum suction cup 7 of the tray gripping arm 6 picks up the tray and removes it, placing it on the discharge track 4. The entire picking and placing process requires no manual intervention and has high work efficiency.

[0026] The tray holder 1 has a lifting ramp 101 at its opening, and a recessed tray groove 102 is provided behind the lifting ramp 101. The design of the lifting ramp 101 and the recessed tray groove 102 can prevent the tray from loosening or shifting in the tray holder 1 and improve positioning accuracy.

[0027] A lifting rod 8 is installed at the bottom of the concave tray groove 102. The lifting rod 8 can lift the tray after the dispensing robot arm 2 completes the dispensing, so as to prevent the tray from getting stuck in the concave tray groove 102 and being unable to be removed.

[0028] A telescopic lever 103 is provided on the inner side of the tray holder 1. The telescopic lever 103 can extend and tighten the tray when dispensing glue, so as to prevent the tray from loosening under force during dispensing.

[0029] The feeding track 3 includes two conveyor belts 301. A lifting limit plate 302 is provided on the downstream side of the pallet holder 1 along the conveying direction of the feeding track 3, corresponding to the opening of the pallet holder 1. When there is no pallet in the pallet holder 1, the lifting limit plate 302 can be raised to block the pallet at the front end of the opening of the pallet holder 1, and the pallet push rod 5 can accurately send the pallet into the pallet holder 1. If there is already a pallet in the pallet holder 1, the lifting limit plate 302 will descend to transport the pallet to other idle workstations.

[0030] A flow-limiting telescopic rod 9 is provided on the side of the feeding track 3, upstream of the pallet push rod 5. The flow-limiting telescopic rod 9 can extend forward after the lifting limit plate 302 blocks one pallet, blocking subsequent pallets and preventing the remaining pallets from being deflected by the telescopic pallet push rod 5.

[0031] The pallet gripping arm 6 includes a linear slide 601 disposed between the feed track 3 and the discharge track 4. A rotary drive 602 is mounted on the linear slide 601, and a lifting platform 603 is mounted on the rotary drive 602. A vacuum suction cup 7 is mounted on the lifting platform 603. During the dispensing process, the vacuum suction cup 7 can be rotated by the rotary drive 602 to the rear of the pallet holder 1 to avoid obstructing the dispensing operation. After dispensing is completed, the vacuum suction cup 7 adheres to the top of the pallet under the drive of the rotary drive 602 and the lifting platform 603. Then, the lifting platform 603 rises, removes the pallet from the pallet holder 1, and finally, driven by the linear slide 601, reaches one side of the discharge track 4. The vacuum suction cup 7 rotates and descends, releasing the pallet and placing it on the discharge track 4 for delivery.

[0032] Multiple sets of dispensing robotic arms 2, pallet holders 1, and pallet pushers 5 are arranged between the feeding track 3 and the dispensing track 4. Since dispensing takes a long time, one feeding track 3 and one dispensing track 4 can be used to transport pallets to multiple dispensing stations, thereby improving production efficiency and saving space occupied by multiple dispensing stations.

[0033] The above description is a further detailed explanation of the present utility model in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments. It should not be assumed that the specific implementation of the present utility model is limited to these descriptions. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of this application should still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
