Note that the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and numerical values of components and steps set forth in these embodiments are not limiting to the scope of the present disclosure unless otherwise specifically stated.

[0034] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure and its applications or uses.

[0035] Techniques and equipment known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art can not be discussed in detail, but should be considered as part of the specification where appropriate.

[0036] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific value is to be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as a limitation. Thus, other examples of the exemplary embodiments can have different values.

[0037] Note that like reference numerals and letters refer to like items in the following drawings, and thus, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be discussed further in subsequent drawings.

[0038] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, according to one aspect of the present disclosure, a two-in-one conveying line is provided, which includes a first conveying line, a first blocking assembly 4, a second conveying line, and a second blocking assembly 5; the first conveying line includes a first conveying section 11 and a first merging area 12 located at one end of the first conveying section 11, and the first blocking assembly 4 is arranged at a position of the first conveying section 11 close to the first merging area 12; the second conveying line includes a second conveying section 21 and a second merging area 22 located at one end of the second conveying section 21, and the second blocking assembly 5 is arranged at a position of the second conveying section 21 close to the second merging area 22; the second merging area 22 extends towards the first merging area 12 to communicate with the first merging area 12, and the first merging area 12 and the second merging area 22 form a merging conveying section 3 after communication, and the first blocking assembly 4 and the second blocking assembly 5 can alternately block articles 6 on the conveying line where they are arranged, so that the articles 6 are sequentially conveyed to the merging conveying section 3.

[0039] Specifically, in the embodiment, the first conveying line and the second conveying line are combined, and the first blocking assembly 4 is arranged at a position close to the first combining area 12 on the first conveying section 11 of the first conveying line, so that the first blocking assembly 4 can block the articles 6 during the conveying of the articles 6 from the first conveying section 11 to the first combining area 12, that is, stop the conveying of the articles 6 from the first conveying section 11 to the combined conveying section 3. Similarly, the second blocking assembly 5 is arranged at a position close to the second combining area 22 on the second conveying section 21 of the second conveying line, so that the second blocking assembly 5 can block the articles 6 during the conveying of the articles 6 from the second conveying section 21 to the second combining area 22, that is, stop the conveying of the articles 6 from the second conveying section 21 to the combined conveying section 3.

[0040] In actual production, by alternately controlling the first blocking assembly 4 and the second blocking assembly 5 to block the articles 6 on the conveying line respectively, on the one hand, the articles 6 on the first conveying line and the second conveying line can enter the combined conveying section 3 in turn, achieving the purpose of combining the two conveying lines, on the other hand, since the first blocking assembly 4 and the second blocking assembly 5 are arranged at positions upstream of the first combining area 12 and the second combining area 22 respectively (that is, the cup holder is conveyed from the first / second conveying section 21 to the first / second combining area 22), the risk of material jamming at the junction of the two conveying lines is avoided, and the conveying efficiency of the entire two-in-one conveying line is improved.

[0041] In the above embodiment, the blocking form of the first blocking assembly 4 and the second blocking assembly 5 can be designed according to the specific structure of the blocking assembly, and the present disclosure does not limit this. For example, in one embodiment, the first blocking assembly 4 can be designed in the form of a retractable plate, and when it is necessary to block the articles 6, the retractable plate is controlled to extend, and when blocking is not needed, the retractable plate is controlled to retract. In another embodiment, the blocking assembly can be arranged in the form of a rotating wheel, and in the normal conveying process, the rotating wheel rotates at a predetermined speed, so that the articles 6 can pass through, and when it is necessary to block the articles 6, the rotating wheel can be stopped to rotate. The above is only an example, and the specific form can be designed according to actual needs.

[0042] In the present disclosure, the two-in-one can be understood as merging two conveying lines into one conveying line, and the merged form of the first conveying line and the second conveying line can also be extended to merging multiple conveying lines into one, or merging multiple conveying lines into a specific number of lines, and the blocking form of the articles 6 can refer to the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be described here. Among them, the type of conveying line can be belt type or plate chain type, and the present disclosure does not limit this. In addition, in the present embodiment, the ranges of the first conveying section 11, the second conveying section 21, the first merging area 12, and the second merging area 22 can be determined according to actual conditions, that is, the setting positions of the first blocking assembly 4 and the second blocking assembly 5 can be adaptively adjusted according to actual use conditions, and the setting positions of the first blocking assembly 4 and the second blocking assembly 5 can be in a symmetrical form or staggered form, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0043] It should be noted that in the above embodiments, the articles 6 specifically refer to the articles conveyed on the first conveying line and the second conveying line, which can be workpieces, such as batteries, or carriers for carrying workpieces, such as cup holders. The cup holder is a device for placing and fixing the battery, and in the battery production process, the cup holder is usually used to carry the workpiece to be processed, so as to simplify the production process.

[0044] As shown in FIGS. 1-3, optionally, the first conveying section 11 includes a first conveying area and a first blocking edge 13 disposed outside the first conveying area, the first blocking edge 13 is provided with a first notch 14, at least a part of the first blocking assembly 4 extends from the notch into the first conveying area to block the articles 6 conveyed by the first conveying section 11; the second conveying section 21 includes a second conveying area and a second blocking edge disposed outside the second conveying area, the second blocking edge is provided with a second notch, at least a part of the second blocking assembly 5 extends from the second notch into the second conveying area to block the articles 6 conveyed by the second conveying section 21.

[0045] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the first conveying line and the second conveying line can be designed in the form of a plate chain, and the first blocking edge 13 and the second blocking edge are respectively arranged on both sides of the two conveying lines to block the articles 6 placed on the plate chain, so as to prevent the articles 6 from falling out of the conveying line during conveying, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the equipment. Further, the first blocking assembly 4 is arranged at the first notch 14 of the first blocking edge 13 outside the first conveying line, which can facilitate the positioning and assembly of the first blocking assembly 4 and the first conveying section 11, thereby improving the production efficiency, and also enables the first blocking edge 13 to limit the first blocking assembly 4, thereby improving the accuracy of the equipment.

[0046] In addition, the area inside the first blocking edge 13 is a first conveying area, and at least part of the first blocking device extends into the first conveying area to block the articles 6 conveyed in the first conveying area. The blocking form can be the rotating wheel structure in the above embodiments, which will not be described here. Similarly, the second conveying section 21 is arranged in the same manner as the first conveying section 11, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0047] As shown in FIGS. 2-3, optionally, the first blocking assembly 4 includes a first braking member 41 and a first wave wheel 42 rotatably arranged at the first gap 14 and partially extending into the first conveying area. When the articles 6 are conveyed to the first wave wheel 42, the first wave wheel 42 can pass the articles 6 by rotating, and the first braking member 41 can stop the rotation of the first wave wheel 42 to block the articles 6. The structure of the second blocking assembly 5 is the same as that of the first blocking assembly 4.

[0048] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the first blocking member includes the first braking member 41 and the first wave wheel 42 rotatably arranged at the first gap 14, so that in the normal conveying process, the first wave wheel 42 normally rotates to allow the articles 6 to pass normally, and when the articles 6 need to be blocked, the first braking member 41 controls the first wave wheel 42 to stop rotating. The rotation of the first wave wheel 42 can be driven by the articles 6 or by a driving member, and the speed of the rotation matches the conveying speed of the articles 6 to avoid hindering the normal conveying of the articles 6. The first braking member 41 can be the same device as the driving member to control the rotation and stop of the first wave wheel 42, improving the reusability of the device. The first braking member 41 can also be a separate device to simplify the braking process of the first wave wheel 42.

[0049] In the above structure, the articles 6 are normally passed or blocked by the wave wheel, which is relatively gentle in blocking the articles 6 and can avoid damaging the articles 6 during the blocking process, improving the safety of the device. Further, in battery production, the conveying line usually carries the to-be-processed battery by a cup, and therefore the outer shape of the cup conveyed by the conveying line is usually cylindrical. The outer contour of the first wave wheel 42 can also be designed as multiple arc-shaped areas matching the outer contour of the cup, further improving the safety performance when blocking the cup. In addition, in the present embodiment, the second blocking assembly 5 has the same structure as the first blocking assembly 4, i.e., it also includes a second braking member 51 and a second wave wheel 52 to reduce the control difficulty of the device.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 3, optionally, the brake member includes a cylinder 411 and a blocking block 412 connected with the cylinder 411, and the impeller includes a rotating part 421 and a plurality of stop rods 422 arranged on the rotating part 421, and the cylinder 411 can drive the blocking block 412 to move between two adjacent stop rods 422 to stop the rotating part 421 from rotating.

[0051] Specifically, in the embodiment, the rotating part 421 is used to pass or block the articles 6, and the plurality of stop rods 422 arranged on the rotating part 421 are used to cooperate with the blocking block 412 of the cylinder 411 to brake when the articles 6 are to be blocked, that is, the cylinder 411 drives the blocking block 412 to extend between two stop rods 422 to stop the rotating part 421 from rotating, thereby achieving the purpose of blocking the articles 6. This braking form of the impeller is relatively simple, easy to control, and has high accuracy. The more the number of stop rods 422 is, the higher the timeliness of braking is, but the problem of difficulty of inserting the blocking block 412 between two stop rods 422 caused by too many stop rods 422 should be avoided, so the number of stop rods 422 can be adaptively designed according to actual needs, and the disclosure does not limit this.

[0052] Optionally, as shown in FIGS. 1-2, the two-in-one conveying line further includes a first detection member 15 and a second detection member, and the first detection member 15 and the second detection member are arranged at the side of the same position of the first merging area 12 and the second merging area 22, respectively, to detect whether there are articles 6 in the area.

[0053] Specifically, in the embodiment, the two conveying lines can sequentially enter the merging conveying area under the alternating work of the first blocking assembly 4 and the second blocking assembly 5 during the merging process. In order to improve the reliability and safety of the equipment, the first detection member 15 is arranged at the first merging area 12, and the second detection member is arranged at the second merging area 22, so that the first detection member 15 and the second detection member can detect whether there are articles 6 in the first merging area 12 and the second merging area 22. If there are articles 6 at the same time, one or both of the conveying lines can be controlled to stop running, thereby avoiding the articles 6 on the two conveying lines from being blocked in the merging conveying area in advance, reducing production accidents, and improving production efficiency.

[0054] Optionally, the first detection member 15 and the second detection member are photoelectric sensors or proximity sensors.

[0055] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the first detection member 15 and the second detection member can be selected as photoelectric sensors. A photoelectric sensor is a device that converts optical signals into electrical signals, and its working principle is based on the photoelectric effect. The photoelectric sensor is usually composed of a transmitter, a receiver and a detection circuit, and the switching action of the circuit is triggered by the change of the light beam, so as to realize control. The photoelectric sensor has the characteristics of high precision, non-contact and fast response, and is used in the present embodiment to detect the presence and position of the articles 6 in order to carry out appropriate operation and control, further reducing the failure rate of material jam.

[0056] In addition, the first detection member 15 and the second detection member can also be selected as proximity sensors, which are sensors that can detect objects without contact. The proximity sensor uses the sensitive characteristics of the displacement sensor to the approaching object to identify the approach of the object and output the corresponding switch signal, so it is also commonly known as a proximity switch. This sensor can detect the movement and presence information of the object and convert it into an electrical signal. In the present embodiment, the proximity sensor can accurately detect the position and quantity of the articles 6, and control the movement and operation of other devices according to the preset logic, so as to realize the automation and precise control of the production process and avoid the jamming of the articles 6 on the two conveying lines.

[0057] Optionally, the two-in-one conveying line further comprises a control module, and the first conveying line, the second conveying line, the first blocking assembly 4, the second blocking assembly 5, the first detection member 15 and the second detection member are connected with the control module; the control module is configured to control the first blocking assembly 4 and the second blocking assembly 5 to alternately block the articles 6 on the conveying line where they are located; the control module is further configured to receive the detection results of the first detection member 15 and the second detection member, and control the start and stop of the first conveying line and the second conveying line according to the detection results.

[0058] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the control module is configured to enable the start and stop of the first conveying line and the second conveying line to be automatically controlled. Furthermore, by obtaining the detection structure of the first detection member 15 and the second detection member, the two conveying lines and the two blocking assemblies are automatically controlled, further improving the production efficiency and the reliability of the equipment.

[0059] Optionally, as shown in FIGS. 1-2, the two-in-one conveying line further comprises an automatic push piece 7, which is rotatably arranged between the first merging area 12 and the second merging area 22 and extends to the merging conveying section 3; during the conveying of the articles 6 from the first merging area 12 to the merging conveying section 3, the articles 6 can move the automatic push piece 7 to close the entrance between the second merging area 22 and the merging conveying section 3; during the conveying of the articles 6 from the second merging area 22 to the merging conveying section 3, the articles 6 can move the automatic push piece 7 to close the entrance between the first merging area 12 and the merging conveying section 3.

[0060] Specifically, in the embodiment, by arranging the automatic pusher 7 between the first merging area 12 and the second merging area 22, when the articles 6 on the first conveying line enter the merging conveying section 3, the entrance of the merging conveying section 3 for the articles 6 on the second conveying line can be closed at the same time, further avoiding the occurrence of material jam. Similarly, when the articles 6 on the second conveying line enter the merging conveying section 3, the entrance of the merging conveying section 3 for the articles 6 on the first conveying line can be closed at the same time. The automatic pusher 7 can be assembled by a rotating shaft between the first merging area 12 and the second merging area 22, without occupying too much equipment position, and simplifying the equipment structure.

[0061] Optionally, as shown in FIG. 1, the automatic pusher 7 is made of stainless steel and is arranged in a hollow structure.

[0062] Specifically, the automatic pusher 7 is made of stainless steel, so that the automatic pusher 7 has higher wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and the service life is improved. In addition, the automatic pusher 7 is designed in a hollow structure, and the size of the hollow structure is smaller than that of the article 6, so that the mass of the automatic pusher 7 is reduced while the blocking function for the article 6 is not affected.

[0063] Optionally, as shown in FIGS. 1-2, the two-in-one conveying line further comprises a first support 8 and a second support 9; the first support 8 is arranged between the first conveying line and the second conveying line and is located on one side of the first blocking assembly 4 and the second blocking assembly 5; and the second support 9 is arranged between the first conveying line and the second conveying line and is located on the other side of the first blocking assembly 4 and the second blocking assembly 5.

[0064] Specifically, in the embodiment, the first support 8 and the second support 9 are arranged, on the one hand, to facilitate the merging of the first conveying line and the second conveying line, and on the other hand, to protect the first blocking assembly 4 and the second blocking assembly 5 located therebetween, avoiding the interference of the external environment, and improving the reliability of the equipment.

[0065] In the above embodiments, the differences between the various embodiments are mainly described, and the optimization features different between the various embodiments can be combined to form a more optimal embodiment as long as they are not contradictory. Considering the brevity of the writing, it will not be repeated here.

[0066] Although some specific embodiments of the present disclosure have been described in detail by examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the above examples are only for illustration, but not for limiting the scope of the present disclosure. Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments can be modified without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure.
