Abstract

The present disclosure provides a liquid injection device, including a conveying mechanism, a weighing mechanism, a lifting mechanism and a guide mechanism. The weighing mechanism is positioned below the conveying mechanism. The lifting mechanism is configured to transfer a battery on the conveying mechanism to the weighing mechanism. The guide mechanism includes a first guide plate, a second guide plate and a power member. A distance between the second guide plate and the first guide plate may be adjusted through the power member, so that the liquid injection device may be compatible with batteries with different models. It is unnecessary to perform model change operation when the battery is changed, thus improving production efficiency.

Claims (38)

1. A liquid injection device, comprising:

a conveying mechanism, conveying a battery along a length direction;

a weighing mechanism, positioned below the conveying mechanism along a height direction; and

a lifting mechanism, configured to generate relative motion between the conveying mechanism and the weighting mechanism to transfer the battery on the conveying mechanism to the weighing mechanism;

the liquid injection device further comprises a guide mechanism;

the guide mechanism comprises a first guide plate positioned on one side of the battery along a width direction, a second guide plate positioned on the other side of the battery along the width direction, and a power member fixedly connected to the second guide plate for driving the second guide plate to move relative to the first guide plate along the width direction;

when the conveying mechanism conveys the battery, the second guide plate and the first guide plate are spaced from the battery along the width direction; and

when the weighing mechanism weighs the battery, the second guide plate and the first guide plate clamp the battery together.

2. The liquid injection device according to claim 1 , wherein the number of the power member is consistent with the number of the second guide plate.

3. The liquid injection device according to claim 2 , wherein there is one second guide plate, the second guide plate being positioned on one side of the first guide plate along the width direction.

4. The liquid injection device according to claim 2 , wherein there are two second guide plates, the two second guide plates being positioned on two sides of the first guide plate along the width direction.

5. The liquid injection device according to claim 1 , further comprising a first fixed frame configured to mount the conveying mechanism, and a second fixed frame spaced from the first fixed frame and configured to mount the weighing mechanism.

6. The liquid injection device according to claim 5 , wherein the conveying mechanism comprises two mounting plates positioned above the first fixed frame and spaced along the width direction, a plurality of conveying rollers spaced along the length direction, each of the conveying rollers being rotatably mounted between the two mounting plates, and a driving member driving the plurality of conveying rollers to rotate to convey the battery.

7. The liquid injection device according to claim 6 , wherein

the first guide plate of the guide mechanism comprises: a guide portion, positioned above the plurality of conveying rollers and arranged between the two mounting plates of the conveying mechanism; and two supporting portions, positioned at two ends of the guide portion along the length direction for supporting the guide portion; and

the second guide plate is positioned above the plurality of conveying rollers and arranged between the two mounting plates of the conveying mechanism, and the power member is fixed to the mounting plates of the conveying mechanism.

8. The liquid injection device according to claim 6 , wherein the weighing mechanism comprises a weighing supporting block configured to support the battery during weighing, and a weighing sensor positioned below the weighing supporting block.

9. The liquid injection device according to claim 8 , wherein

the weighing supporting block comprises a main body portion positioned above the weighing sensor, and a plurality of protruded portions spaced along the length direction, each of the protruded portions being protruded out of the main body portion along the height direction, and

the plurality of protruded portions are respectively positioned between the corresponding adjacent two conveying rollers, extending above the corresponding conveying rollers and supporting the battery when in weighing.

10. The liquid injection device according to claim 8 , wherein the lifting mechanism comprises a cylinder body and a telescopic rod, one end of the telescopic rod being telescopically connected to the cylinder body and the other end of the telescopic rod being fixedly connected to the conveying mechanism.

11. The liquid injection device according to claim 10 , wherein

the conveying mechanism further comprises two first supporting plates spaced along the length direction, each of the first supporting plates being positioned between the two mounting plates and the first fixed frame;

there are two lifting mechanisms, the cylinder body of each of the lifting mechanisms is fixed to the first fixed frame, and the other end of the telescopic rod is fixedly connected to one first supporting plate of the conveying mechanism; and

after the conveying mechanism descends under the action of the lifting mechanism, the weighing mechanism supports the battery and weighs the battery.

12. The liquid injection device according to claim 10 , wherein

the weighing mechanism further comprises a second supporting plate positioned between the weighing sensor and the second fixed frame;

there is one lifting mechanism, the cylinder body of the lifting mechanism is fixed to the second fixed frame, and the other end of the telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the second supporting plate of the weighing mechanism; and

after the weighing mechanism ascends under the action of the lifting mechanism, the weighing mechanism supports the battery and weighs the battery.

13. The liquid injection device according to claim 8 , wherein the lifting mechanism comprises a cylinder body and a telescopic rod, one end of the telescopic rod being telescopically connected to the cylinder body and the other end of the telescopic rod being fixedly connected to the weighing mechanism.

14. The liquid injection device according to claim 13 , wherein

the conveying mechanism further comprises two first supporting plates spaced along the length direction, each of the first supporting plates being positioned between the two mounting plates and the first fixed frame;

there are two lifting mechanisms, the cylinder body of each of the lifting mechanisms is fixed to the first fixed frame, and the other end of the telescopic rod is fixedly connected to one first supporting plate of the conveying mechanism; and

after the conveying mechanism descends under the action of the lifting mechanism, the weighing mechanism supports the battery and weighs the battery.

15. The liquid injection device according to claim 13 , wherein

the weighing mechanism further comprises a second supporting plate positioned between the weighing sensor and the second fixed frame;

there is one lifting mechanism, the cylinder body of the lifting mechanism is fixed to the second fixed frame, and the other end of the telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the second supporting plate of the weighing mechanism; and
