Description

Technical Field

[0002] The feeding device is a key functional component in lithium battery coating machines. It is primarily used to precisely push batteries to the coating station, ensuring accurate positioning and stable transport during the coating process, and improving production efficiency. Existing feeding devices typically employ a single-push robot structure. However, a single push robot cannot perform feeding operations on its return trip, resulting in idle travel time and low production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0025] To make the technical problems solved, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the feeding device 100 provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes a frame (not shown), a material support mechanism 1, a first material pusher mechanism 2, a second material pusher mechanism 3, and a feeding mechanism 4. The material support mechanism 1, the first material pusher mechanism 2, the second material pusher mechanism 3, and the feeding mechanism 4 are installed on the frame. The material support mechanism 1 and the feeding mechanism 4 are arranged sequentially along the first direction X. The material support mechanism 1 is used to support the battery 200.

[0027] The first pushing mechanism 2 includes a first pushing body 23, which is movable relative to the frame along the first direction X. The second pushing mechanism 3 includes a second pushing body 33, which is movable relative to the frame along the first direction X. The first pushing body 23 and the second pushing body 33 can move alternately along the first direction X to push the battery 200 on the material support mechanism 1 to the feeding mechanism 4 along the first direction X.

[0028] The feeding mechanism 4 includes a clamping structure 40, which can move relative to the frame along the first direction X. The clamping structure 40 can clamp the battery 200 pushed to the feeding mechanism 4 and drive the battery 200 away from the material support mechanism 1 along the first direction X.

[0029] "The first pushing body 23 and the second pushing body 33 can move alternately along the first direction X" means that when the first pushing body 23 pushes the battery 200 on the material support mechanism 1 to the feeding mechanism 4 along the first direction X, the second pushing body 33 returns to a position away from the feeding mechanism 4 to push the next battery 200; when the second pushing body 33 pushes the battery 200 on the material support mechanism 1 to the feeding mechanism 4 along the first direction X, the first pushing body 23 returns to a position away from the feeding mechanism 4 to push the next battery 200.

[0030] The pushing device 100 provided in this embodiment of the utility model is provided with a first pushing mechanism 2 and a second pushing mechanism 3 at the material support mechanism 1. The first pushing body 23 of the first pushing mechanism 2 and the second pushing body 33 of the second pushing mechanism 3 can work alternately in a cycle to push the battery 200 on the material support mechanism 1 to the feeding mechanism 4 along the first direction X. The clamping structure 40 of the feeding mechanism 4 clamps the battery 200 and carries the clamped battery 200 away from the material support mechanism 1. After the clamping structure 40 carries the battery 200 away from the material support mechanism 1, the battery 200 can be transported to the coating station for subsequent coating. The pushing device 100 can improve the pushing efficiency by alternating the work of the first pushing body 23 and the second pushing body 33, thereby improving the production efficiency.

[0031] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the material support mechanism 1 includes a first material support frame 11 and a second material support frame 12. The first material support frame 11 and the second material support frame 12 are spaced apart along the second direction Y. The first material support frame 11 and the second material support frame 12 cooperate to support the battery 200. The first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y.

[0032] Along the second direction Y, the first pushing mechanism 2 and the second pushing mechanism 3 are disposed between the first material support frame 11 and the second material support frame 12.

[0033] The battery 200 is supported by the cooperation of the first material support frame 11 and the second material support frame 12. At this time, the first material pushing mechanism 2 and the second material pushing mechanism 3 are arranged between the first material support frame 11 and the second material support frame 12 along the second direction Y, so that the battery 200 can be pushed alternately by the first material pushing body 23 of the first material pushing mechanism 2 and the second material pushing body 33 of the second material pushing mechanism 3.

[0034] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first material support frame 11 includes a first material support bracket, a plurality of first material support rollers, and a plurality of first positioning rollers. The first material support rollers are rotatably connected to the side of the first material support bracket near the second material support frame 12. The plurality of first material support rollers are arranged at intervals along the first direction X, and the first material support rollers are used to support the battery 200. The first positioning rollers are rotatably connected to the first material support bracket. The plurality of first material support rollers are arranged at intervals along the first direction X, and the first positioning rollers are used to make rolling contact with the battery 200 supported on the first material support rollers.

[0035] The second material support frame 12 includes a second material support bracket, a plurality of second material support rollers, and a plurality of second positioning rollers. The second material support rollers are rotatably connected to the side of the second material support bracket near the first material support frame 11. The plurality of second material support rollers are arranged at intervals along the first direction X, and the second material support rollers are used to support the battery 200. The second positioning rollers are rotatably connected to the second material support bracket. The plurality of second material support rollers are arranged at intervals along the first direction X, and the second positioning rollers are used to make rolling contact with the battery 200 supported on the second material support rollers.

[0036] The first and second supporting rollers work together to support the battery 200. Since these rollers can rotate, friction between them and the battery 200 is reduced, thus minimizing wear. Furthermore, the first and second positioning rollers position the battery 200, reducing the likelihood of tilting during the pushing process and improving the accuracy of subsequent coating. Additionally, the rotation of these rollers further reduces friction between them and the battery 200, minimizing wear.

[0037] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the material support mechanism 1 also includes a first base 13 and a second base 14. The first base 13 and the second base 14 are spaced apart along the second direction Y. The first material support frame 11 is movably mounted on the first base 13 along the second direction Y, and the second material support frame 12 is movably mounted on the second base 14 along the second direction Y.

[0038] By movably mounting the first material support 11 to the first base 13 along the second direction Y and the second material support 12 to the second base 14 along the second direction Y, the distance between the first material support 11 and the second material support 12 in the second direction Y can be adjusted, thereby supporting batteries 200 of different sizes.

[0039] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the material support mechanism 1 also includes a first positioning component 15 and a second positioning component 16. The first positioning component 15 is installed on the first base 13, and the second positioning component 16 is installed on the second base 14. The first positioning component 15 and the second positioning component 16 are opposite each other along the second direction Y.

[0040] The first positioning assembly 15 includes a first positioning drive 151 and a first positioning plate 152. The first positioning drive 151 is mounted on the first base 13, and its output end is connected to the first positioning plate 152. The first positioning drive 151 can drive the first positioning plate 152 to move along the second direction Y. The second positioning assembly 16 includes a second positioning drive 161 and a second positioning plate 162. The second positioning drive 161 is mounted on the second base 14, and its output end is connected to the second positioning plate 162. The second positioning drive 161 can drive the second positioning plate 162 to move along the second direction Y.

[0041] The first positioning plate 152 and the second positioning plate 162 are arranged opposite each other along the second direction Y. When the first positioning plate 152 and the second positioning plate 162 are close to each other along the second direction Y, they can clamp and position the battery 200 supported on the first material support frame 11 and the second material support frame 12.

[0042] For example, the first positioning drive 151 and the second positioning drive 161 may be selected as drive cylinders.

[0043] The battery 200 is clamped and positioned by the first positioning plate 152 and the second positioning plate 162 to straighten the battery 200 and reduce the possibility of the battery 200 tilting.

[0044] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first pushing mechanism 2 also includes a first driving component 21, which is mounted on the frame. The output end of the first driving component 21 is connected to the first pushing body 23, and the first driving component 21 can drive the first pushing body 23 to move along the first direction X.

[0045] For example, the first drive component 21 can be a drive structure of a rotary motor and a lead screw; or it can be a linear motor; or it can be a linear cylinder.

[0046] The first pusher body 23 is driven by the first drive component 21, so that the first pusher body 23 moves in the first direction X, thereby enabling the first pusher body 23 to push the battery 200.

[0047] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first pushing mechanism 2 also includes a second driving component (not shown in the figure; the structure of the second driving component can be referenced from the structure of the fourth driving component 32). The second driving component is installed at the output end of the first driving component 21, and the first driving component 21 can drive the second driving component to move along the first direction X. The first pushing body 23 is installed at the output end of the second driving component, and the second driving component can drive the first pushing body 23 to move along the third direction Z. The first direction X is perpendicular to the third direction Z.

[0048] For example, the second drive component may be a linear motor; or it may be a linear cylinder.

[0049] The first driving component 21 and the second driving component work together to drive the first pushing body 23 to move in the first direction X and the third direction Z, so that the first pushing body 23 can push the battery 200. For example, when the first pushing mechanism 2 pushes the battery 200, the cooperation of the first driving component 21 and the second driving component makes the height of the first pushing body 23 basically the same as that of the battery 200, so as to be able to push the battery 200; when the first pushing mechanism 2 completes pushing the battery 200, the cooperation of the first driving component 21 and the second driving component makes the first pushing body 23 move to below the battery 200, so as to be able to return to the initial position, which is a position away from the feeding mechanism 4.

[0050] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first pushing body 23 includes a first pushing frame 231 and a first pushing block 232. The first pushing frame 231 is installed at the output end of the second driving component, and the second driving component can drive the first pushing frame 231 to move along the third direction Z. The first pushing block 232 is installed on the first pushing frame 231, and the first pushing block 232 can abut against the side of the battery 200 on the material support mechanism 1 that is away from the feeding mechanism 4.

[0051] When the first pusher 231 moves in the first direction X and the third direction Z in cooperation with the first drive assembly 21 and the second drive assembly, it can drive the first pusher 232 to move synchronously with the first pusher 231 so as to push the battery 200.

[0052] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the second pushing mechanism 3 also includes a third driving component 31, which is mounted on the frame. The output end of the third driving component 31 is connected to the second pushing body 33, and the third driving component 31 can drive the second pushing body 33 to move along the first direction X.

[0053] For example, the third drive component 31 can be a drive structure of a rotary motor and a lead screw; or it can be a linear motor; or it can be a linear cylinder.

[0054] The second pusher body 33 is driven by the third drive component 31, so that the second pusher body 33 moves in the first direction X, thereby enabling the second pusher body 33 to push the battery 200.

[0055] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2As shown, the second pushing mechanism 3 also includes a fourth driving component 32, which is installed at the output end of the third driving component 31. The third driving component 31 can drive the fourth driving component 32 to move along the first direction X. The second pushing body 33 is installed at the output end of the fourth driving component 32, and the fourth driving component 32 can drive the second pushing body 33 to move along the third direction Z.

[0056] For example, the fourth drive component 32 may be a linear motor; or it may be a linear cylinder.

[0057] The cooperation of the third drive component 31 and the fourth drive component 32 drives the second pusher body 33 to move in the first direction X and the third direction Z, so that the second pusher body 33 can push the battery 200. For example, when the second pusher mechanism 3 pushes the battery 200, the cooperation of the third drive component 31 and the fourth drive component 32 makes the height of the second pusher body 33 substantially the same as that of the battery 200, so that it can push the battery 200; when the second pusher mechanism 3 completes pushing the battery 200, the cooperation of the third drive component 31 and the fourth drive component 32 moves the second pusher body 33 to below the battery 200, so that it can return to its initial position, which is a position away from the feeding mechanism 4.

[0058] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the second pushing body 33 includes a second pushing frame 331 and a second pushing block 332. The second pushing frame 331 is installed at the output end of the fourth driving component 32, and the fourth driving component 32 can drive the second pushing frame 331 to move along the third direction Z. The second pushing block 332 is installed on the second pushing frame 331, and the second pushing block 332 can abut against the side of the battery 200 on the material support mechanism 1 that is away from the feeding mechanism 4.

[0059] When the second pusher 331 moves in the first direction X and the third direction Z with the cooperation of the third drive component 31 and the fourth drive component 32, it can drive the second pusher 332 to move synchronously with the second pusher 331 so as to push the battery 200.

[0060] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the feeding device 100 also includes a feeding mounting frame 5, on which the first driving component 21 and the third driving component 31 are mounted to realize the installation of the first feeding mechanism 2 and the second feeding mechanism 3 on the feeding mounting frame 5.

[0061] Furthermore, to make the movement of the second drive component smoother, a first slide rail structure can be provided. The first slide rail structure is installed between the pusher mounting frame 5 and the second drive component, and the sliding guide of the second drive component is achieved through the first slide rail structure. To make the movement of the fourth drive component 32 smoother, a second slide rail structure can be provided. The second slide rail structure is installed between the pusher mounting frame 5 and the fourth drive component 32, and the sliding guide of the fourth drive component 32 is achieved through the first slide rail structure.

[0062] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first drive assembly 21 and the third drive assembly 31 are spaced apart along the second direction Y. The second drive assembly is located on the side of the first drive assembly 21 away from the third drive assembly 31, and the fourth drive assembly 32 is located on the side of the third drive assembly 31 away from the first drive assembly 21.

[0063] Within the same projection plane perpendicular to the first direction X, the orthographic projection of the first pusher body 23 and the orthographic projection of the second pusher body 33 do not overlap.

[0064] By ensuring that the orthographic projections of the first pusher body 23 and the second pusher body 33 do not overlap in the same projection plane perpendicular to the first direction X, mutual interference between the first pusher body 23 and the second pusher body 33 when they move along the first direction X can be avoided.

[0065] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the feeding mechanism 4 includes a feeding drive assembly 41 and a feeding rack 42. The output end of the feeding drive assembly 41 is connected to the feeding rack 42, and the feeding drive assembly 41 can drive the feeding rack 42 to move along the first direction X. The clamping structure 40 is mounted on the feeding rack 42.

[0066] By mounting the clamping structure 40 on the feeder 42, the clamping structure 40 can move along the feeder 42 in the first direction X when the feeder drive assembly 41 drives the feeder 42 to move in the first direction X, thereby enabling the battery 200 to move in the first direction X.

[0067] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the clamping structure 40 includes a first roller group 43 and a second roller group 44. The feeding rack 42 is mounted on the feeding drive assembly 41, which is used to drive the feeding rack 42 to move along the first direction X.

[0068] The first roller assembly 43 includes a first roller support 431 and a plurality of first rollers 432. The first roller support 431 is mounted on the feeding frame 42, and the plurality of first rollers 432 are sequentially and intermittently rotatably connected to the first roller support 431 along the first direction X.

[0069] The second roller assembly 44 includes a second roller bracket 441 and a plurality of second rollers 442. The second roller bracket 441 is movably mounted on the feed rack 42 along the third direction Z, and the plurality of second rollers 442 are sequentially and intermittently rotatably connected to the second roller bracket 441 along the first direction X.

[0070] The first roller group 43 and the second roller group 44 are opposite each other along the third direction Z, and a clamping gap for clamping the battery 200 is formed between the first roller group 43 and the second roller group 44.

[0071] For example, the feeding drive assembly 41 can be a linear drive cylinder.

[0072] A clamping gap is formed between the first roller group 43 and the second roller group 44 to clamp the battery 200, thereby achieving feeding. Since the second roller bracket 441 is movably mounted on the feeding frame 42 along the third direction Z, the height of the clamping gap can be adjusted to accommodate batteries of different sizes. Furthermore, since both the first roller 432 and the second roller 442 can rotate, friction with the battery 200 is reduced.

[0073] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the clamping structure 40 also includes a roller drive assembly 45, which is mounted on the feeder 42. The second roller support 441 is mounted on the output end of the roller drive assembly 45. The roller drive assembly 45 is used to drive the second roller support 441 to move along the third direction Z to adjust the height of the clamping gap.

[0074] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the roller drive assembly 45 includes a driver 451, a first push plate 452, a second push plate 453, a first elastic element 454, and a first mounting plate 455. The driver 451 is mounted on the feed rack 42, and its output end is connected to the first push plate 452. The driver 451 can drive the first push plate 452 to move along the third direction Z. The first elastic element 454 is elastically supported between the first push plate 452 and the second push plate 453 along the third direction Z. The second push plate 453 is connected to the first mounting plate 455, and a second roller bracket 441 is mounted on the first mounting plate 455.

[0075] For example, the actuator 451 is a drive cylinder. The first elastic element 454 is a first spring, which can be installed by bolts. Specifically, the bolt thread passes through the first push plate 452, and the first spring is threadedly connected to the second push plate 453, so that the first elastic element 454 is elastically supported in the third direction Z between the first push plate 452 and the second push plate 453.

[0076] For example, the second push plate 453 can be connected to the first mounting plate 455 via a connecting plate 456.

[0077] The first push plate 452 is driven by the driver 451, which moves the second roller group 44 along the third direction Z to clamp the battery 200. Since the first elastic member 454 is elastically supported between the first push plate 452 and the second push plate 453, the battery 200 can be flexibly clamped to reduce the risk of the battery 200 being crushed.

[0078] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the roller drive assembly 45 also includes a second mounting plate 457, a second elastic member 458, and a clamping member 459. The second mounting plate 457 is mounted on the first mounting plate 455. The second elastic member 458 is elastically supported in the third direction Z between the second mounting plate 457 and the clamping member 459. The clamping member 459 abuts against the cylinder wall of the second roller 442.

[0079] For example, the clamping element 459 is a silicone clamping block.

[0080] By abutting the clamping member 459 against the wall of the second roller 442 and elastically supporting the second elastic member 458 along the third direction Z between the second mounting plate 457 and the clamping member 459, the clamping member 459 can maintain contact with the wall of the second roller 442, preventing the second roller 442 from rolling rapidly during the movement of the battery 200.

[0081] This utility model embodiment also provides a coating machine, which includes the above-mentioned pushing device 100. When the clamping structure 40 drives the battery 200 away from the material support mechanism 1 in the first direction X, it can provide the battery 200 to the coating device, and the coating device can coat the battery 200.

[0082] The coating machine provided in this embodiment of the utility model has a pushing device 100 that provides a first pushing mechanism 2 and a second pushing mechanism 3 at the material support mechanism 1. The first pushing body 23 of the first pushing mechanism 2 and the second pushing body 33 of the second pushing mechanism 3 can work alternately to push the battery 200 on the material support mechanism 1 along the first direction X to the feeding mechanism 4. The clamping structure 40 of the feeding mechanism 4 clamps the battery 200 and carries it away from the material support mechanism 1. After the clamping structure 40 moves the battery 200 away from the material support mechanism 1, it can transport the battery 200 to the coating station for subsequent coating. The alternating operation of the first pushing body 23 and the second pushing body 33 improves the pushing efficiency, thereby increasing production efficiency.

[0083] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
