Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If a traditional single linear driving mechanism is used for feeding, then the device complexity is low, but the feeding acceleration is low and the feeding cycle is long
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines two linear driving mechanisms to work simultaneously on the same delivery mechanism, creating a dual-drive system that provides combined feeding thrust. This merging of multiple driving sources increases feeding acceleration and reduces feeding cycle time while maintaining reasonable device complexity through integrated control
2Adaptability or versatility
If a separate posture adjustment mechanism is added, then the delivery mechanism angle can be adjusted, but the device complexity and structural space increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the linear driving mechanisms perform dual functions: both feeding drive and posture adjustment. By configuring the linear driving mechanisms to simultaneously provide feeding motion and angle adjustment capability, the system eliminates the need for separate adjustment mechanisms, reducing device complexity while maintaining adaptability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the feeding drive function and posture adjustment function into the same linear driving mechanisms. The first and second linear driving mechanisms not only drive the delivery mechanism for feeding but also cooperate to adjust its posture, combining multiple functions into unified components
3Manufacturing precision
If multiple intermediate connecting portions are used, then the feeding drive and posture adjustment can be implemented, but the structural space is large and the feeding precision is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes unnecessary intermediate connecting portions from the system by integrating functions directly into the linear driving mechanisms and delivery mechanism. This extraction of redundant components reduces structural complexity and eliminates error accumulation, thereby improving feeding precision
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses the rotational degree of freedom of the delivery mechanism around the first axis as an additional dimension for control. By adjusting the angle around this axis through the linear driving mechanisms, the system achieves posture adjustment without requiring complex intermediate connecting structures

AI summary
Embodiments of the present application provide a feeding device and a battery production apparatus, which relate to the technical field of battery production apparatuses. The feeding device includes a first linear driving mechanism, a second linear driving mechanism, a delivery mechanism, and an adjusting mechanism, where the first linear driving mechanism includes a first output end configured to reciprocate in a first direction; the second linear driving mechanism includes a second output end configured to reciprocate in a second direction; one end of the delivery mechanism is rotatably connected to the first output end around a first axis, the first axis being perpendicular to the first direction; and the adjusting mechanism is configured to connect the other end of the delivery mechanism to the second output end, such that the delivery mechanism can be driven by the second output end to rotate around the first axis. By means of the feeding device, a saved structural space, increased feeding precision, improved feeding cycle, and improved production efficiency are achieved.
