This utility model employs a three-stage insertion method, sequentially inserting the primary, middle, and secondary battery cells into the casing. This avoids scratches on the battery cell surface, improves yield, and increases production efficiency.

[0004] While the existing battery cell installation devices can meet basic usage requirements, the process of transferring the battery cell casing onto the battery cell using grippers during the initial installation is cumbersome, resulting in a complex overall structure, inconvenient assembly, and high overall production costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a small turntable mechanism for inserting battery cells into the casing, which is provided by setting a drive motor to drive the rotating shaft to rotate, thereby driving the turntable mold to rotate. The battery cell casing groove on the turntable mold is provided with magnets to attract the battery cell casing, thereby transferring the battery cell casing on the groove to the top of the battery cell. The operation is more convenient, the overall structure is relatively simple, and the production cost is low.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A small turntable mechanism for inserting battery cells into their casings includes a turntable support, on which a drive motor and a shaft seat are mounted. A shaft connected to the drive motor is mounted on the shaft seat. A sheet metal base plate, a turntable mold, and a flange fixing plate are mounted on the shaft, arranged sequentially from bottom to top. The turntable mold has several battery cell casing grooves on its side, and magnets are embedded in the inner side of each groove. The bottom of the turntable mold has a spring-loaded limiting block and several limiting sheet metal pieces corresponding to the battery cell casing grooves. The limiting sheet metal pieces abut against the spring-loaded limiting block via springs.

[0008] Preferably, the cell shell groove includes a first cell shell groove, a second cell shell groove, a third cell shell groove, and a fourth cell shell groove, which are square in shape and whose vertices are distributed sequentially.

[0009] Preferably, the flange fixing plate is installed on the upper end of the turntable mold and is fixedly connected to the turntable mold and the rotating shaft respectively.

[0010] Preferably, the upper end of the turntable bracket is provided with a shaft seat mounting plate, the shaft seat is installed at the bottom of the shaft seat mounting plate, and the shaft seat has a shaft through hole for the shaft to pass through.

[0011] Preferably, a shaft bearing is provided on the inner side of the shaft seat, and the shaft bearing is sleeved on the outer side of the shaft.

[0012] Preferably, the outer sides of the rotating shaft mounting plate and the limiting sheet metal are provided with limiting grooves corresponding to the grooves of the battery cell shell.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the small turntable mechanism for inserting battery cells into the casing provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects: A rotating shaft connected to the drive motor is installed on the rotating shaft seat of the finished product discharge rotating mechanism. A sheet metal base plate, a turntable mold, and a flange fixing plate are installed on the rotating shaft in sequence from bottom to top. Several battery cell shell grooves are opened on the side of the turntable mold. Magnets are embedded in the inner side of each battery cell shell groove. A compression spring limiting block and several limiting sheet metals corresponding to the battery cell shell grooves are provided at the bottom of the turntable mold. The limiting sheet metals abut against the compression spring limiting block. The drive motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, thereby driving the turntable mold to rotate. Magnets are provided in the battery cell shell grooves on the turntable mold to attract the battery cell shells, thus transferring the battery cell shells from the grooves to above the battery cell. Subsequently, the battery cell insertion telescopic mold pushes the battery cell upwards into the battery cell shell, making the battery cell shell transfer faster, the operation simpler and more convenient, the overall structure simpler, and the production cost lower.

[0021] like Figure 1-3As shown, the battery cell housing turntable mechanism includes a turntable bracket 1, on which a drive motor 2 and a rotating shaft seat 3 are mounted. A rotating shaft 4, which is connected to the drive motor 2, is mounted on the rotating shaft seat 3. A sheet metal base plate 5, a turntable mold 6, and a flange fixing plate 7 are mounted on the rotating shaft 4 in sequence from bottom to top. Several battery cell housing grooves 8 are opened on the side of the turntable mold 6. Magnets are embedded in the inner side of the battery cell housing grooves 8. A compression spring limiting block 9 and several limiting sheet metal 10 corresponding to the battery cell housing grooves 8 are provided at the bottom of the turntable mold 6. The limiting sheet metal 10 abuts against the compression spring limiting block 9 through a compression spring 11. Understandably, the drive motor 2 can be a general-purpose servo motor, etc. The finished product discharge rotation mechanism is located at the battery cell insertion end of the insertion machine. The turntable mold 6 is located above the battery cell insertion telescopic mold and is used to transfer the battery cell shell to the top of the battery cell and transfer the battery cell after insertion to the front end of the next station to complete the battery cell shell transfer operation.

[0022] Specifically, the cell shell groove 8 includes a first cell shell groove, a second cell shell groove, a third cell shell groove, and a fourth cell shell groove, which are arranged in a square shape with their vertices distributed sequentially. The flange fixing plate 7 is installed on the upper end of the turntable mold 6 and is fixedly connected to the turntable mold 6 and the rotating shaft 4 respectively. The upper end of the turntable bracket 1 is provided with a rotating shaft seat mounting plate 12, and the rotating shaft seat 3 is installed on the bottom of the rotating shaft seat mounting plate 12. The rotating shaft seat 3 is provided with a rotating shaft through hole 13 for the rotating shaft 4 to pass through. The inner side of the rotating shaft seat 3 is provided with a rotating shaft bearing 14, and the rotating shaft bearing 14 is sleeved on the outer side of the rotating shaft 4. The outer sides of the rotating shaft seat mounting plate 12 and the limiting sheet metal 10 are both provided with limiting grooves 15 corresponding to the cell shell groove 8. Understandably, to prevent the battery cell shell from falling off when the turntable mold 6 rotates, a magnet is embedded in the battery cell shell groove 8 to hold the battery cell shell in place and prevent it from falling off during rotation and transfer. During operation, the drive motor 2 drives the rotating shaft 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the turntable mold 6 to rotate. The magnet in the battery cell shell groove 8 on the turntable mold 6 holds the battery cell shell, thus transferring the battery cell shell in the groove 8 to the top of the battery cell. Subsequently, the battery cell insertion telescopic mold pushes the battery cell upward into the battery cell shell. After the battery cell is pushed into the battery cell shell, the limiting sheet metal 10 extends under the action of the compression spring 11 to block the battery cell and prevent it from falling off. Then, the drive motor 2 drives the rotating shaft 4, which in turn drives the turntable mold 6 to rotate, so that the battery cell shell containing the battery cell is transferred to the front end of the next station, and so on.

[0023] Understandably, this utility model has a reasonable design and unique structure. Compared with the traditional method of transferring battery cells by grippers, it can transfer battery cell shells faster, is simpler and more convenient to operate, and has a simpler overall structure and lower production cost.
