[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0020] A large-size aluminum-air battery air cathode splicing device, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the system includes a conveyor 1, a first support frame 101, a robotic arm welding machine 2, a first motor 3, a placement bucket 4, a second support frame 41, a second motor 5, a rotating plate 6, a rotating trough 7, and a moving plate 8. The first support frame 101 is connected to the upper right side of the conveyor 1. The robotic arm welding machine 2 is connected to the upper left side of the first support frame 101. The second support frame 41 is connected to the upper middle part of the conveyor 1. The first motor 3 is connected to the upper side of the second support frame 41. The placement bucket 4 is rotatably connected to the second support frame 41. The placement bucket 4 has an opening on it. There are multiple placement slots of different specifications to meet the splicing requirements of air cathodes of different specifications. The placement tank 4 is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 3. The second motor 5 is connected to the lower part of the second support frame 41. The rotating plate 6 is connected to the output shaft of the second motor 5. The rotating plate 6 is rotatably connected to the second support frame 41 and the placement tank 4. The rotating plate 6 is connected to the upper side of the rotating plate 6. The movable plate 8 is slidably connected to the second support frame 41. The front of the movable plate 8 has a wedge-shaped structure. The movable plate 8 and the rotating groove 7 are slidably engaged.
[0021] like Figure 5As shown, it also includes a transmission assembly 9, a rotary cam 10, a clamping frame 11, a telescopic spring 12, a rack 13, and a gear 14. The rotary cam 10 is rotatably connected to the front side of the middle of the conveyor 1. The transmission assembly 9 is connected between the rotary cam 10 and the output shaft of the second motor 5. The transmission assembly 9 includes a belt and a pulley. The output shaft of the second motor 5 is provided with a pulley, and the rotary cam 10 is also provided with a pulley. The belt is wound between the pulleys. The clamping frames 11 are slidably connected to both the front and rear parts of the second support frame 41. The clamping frames 11 are connected to the second support frame 41 with telescopic springs 12. The front clamping frame 11 is pressed and engaged with the rotary cam 10. The lower part of the clamping frame 11 is connected to a rack 13. The lower side of the conveyor 1 is rotatably connected to a gear 14. The rack 13 meshes with the gear 14. The ends of the clamping frames 11 that are far apart from each other are provided with convex pressing platforms.
[0022] When using this invention, the air cathode of the large-sized aluminum-air battery to be welded is first placed in the placement slot inside the placement bucket 4. Then, the conveyor 1 is started to transport the large-sized aluminum-air battery workpiece. When the large-sized aluminum-air battery workpiece is transported to the bottom of the placement bucket 4, the second motor 5 is started, driving the rotating plate 6 to rotate, causing the rotating slot 7 to rotate. Through the pressing action of the rotating slot 7 and the moving plate 8, the moving plate 8 is retracted and then pushed out, causing the single air cathode in the placement slot to fall onto the aluminum-air battery below. At the same time, through the transmission action of the belt and pulley in the rotating assembly, the rotating cam 10 rotates. The rotating cam 10 presses the front clamping frame 11 to move backward. The front clamping frame 11 drives the front rack 13 to move. Through the meshing of the rack 13 and the gear 14, the rear rack 13 and the rear clamping frame 1 are driven. 1. Moving forward, the telescopic spring 12 is compressed and contracted, enabling the two clamping frames 11 to move synchronously towards the center, thus centering and clamping the air cathode. Afterwards, as the rotating cam 10 continues to rotate, the telescopic spring 12 rebounds, causing the clamping frames 11 to reset. After the air cathode is placed, the conveyor 1 is started to transport the workpiece to below the robotic arm welding machine 2. The robotic arm welding machine 2 is then started, and it performs multi-angle and multi-position welding operations on the workpiece according to a preset program. When it is necessary to change to air cathodes of different specifications, the first motor 3 on the first support frame 101 can be controlled to start, causing the placement bucket 4 to rotate on the second support frame 41, thus switching the placement slot. This achieves the effect of automatically unloading the air cathode, accurately positioning it, reducing labor intensity, and improving splicing quality and efficiency.
