Referring to fig. 1 to 3, the present invention discloses a battery packaging method 100 for realizing that a battery 200 is loaded into a plastic-absorbing tray 300 and then placed into a packaging box 400 formed by sleeving an inner box 410 and an outer box 420, and then the plastic-absorbing tray and the outer box are sealed by a plastic-absorbing cover 500 and an outer box cover 600. The battery packaging method 100 disclosed by the invention can be specifically realized through a packaging line 110, and the battery packaging method 100 comprises the following steps:

S001 the battery feeder 10 identifies the acquired battery 200 to obtain identification information;

Specifically, in step S001, the battery loader 10 automatically picks up the battery 200 from the battery line and performs code-scanning recognition on the acquired battery 200. In order to prevent dust and moisture attached to the battery during the manufacturing process from entering the packaging box and damaging the battery 200, the battery 200 is subjected to a dust removal process before the obtained battery 200 is subjected to an identification process. Specifically, the battery 200 may be subjected to dust removal processing by a blower. Preferably, the battery feeder 10 includes a material taking device 11, a dust removing device 12, a conveying device 13, and a code scanning device 14.

Specifically, a scanner 14 can alternately identify the batteries 200 on two parallel conveying rails 131, thereby effectively improving the packaging efficiency.

The S002 controller compares the identification information with the pre-stored information to obtain confirmation information, and transmits the confirmation information to the battery feeding machine 10 and the labeling machine 50;

In actual production, the specification and model of the battery 200 transmitted on the production line may not be consistent with the pre-stored order information, and therefore, in order to prevent a packaging error, the controller compares the identification information with the pre-stored order information to obtain confirmation information, that is, whether the confirmation information is consistent with the order information or not.

s003, the battery feeding machine 10 shunts and discharges the batteries 200 to the place separated from the battery feeding machine 10 or arranges and feeds the batteries to the tray entering box packing machine 20 according to the confirmation information;

The battery 200 with bad information is moved to the shunting rail 132 of the conveying device 13 by the code scanning device 14, and is conveyed to a position separated from the battery feeder 10 for checking. To simplify the process, the diverging guide 132 is located at the symmetrical center of the two conveying guides 131, and the conveying direction thereof is opposite to the conveying direction of the two conveying guides 131. The start ends of the diversion guide rails 132 correspond to the identification positions on the two conveying guide rails 131.

preferably, in order to ensure that the two batteries 200 are turned and placed at the same time, the two in-place sensors at the rear sections of the two conveying rails 131 sense that the batteries 200 are in place, and then the controller sends an instruction to the turning and feeding device 15 to grab and turn the batteries 200, if the batteries 200 are not sensed at one side, the batteries need to be simultaneously transferred after being replenished. Therefore, the front stages of the two conveying rails 131 are set to move synchronously, and the rear stages of the two conveying rails 131 are set to move asynchronously.
