In the above-mentioned step, the vice executive work of snatching in the separation is based on OCV accredited testing organization 5 detection data, obtains the open circuit voltage of cylinder lithium cell after OCV accredited testing organization 5 detects promptly, and then the pair of snatching in the separation is based on this open circuit voltage only when moving to the silo top of settlement, and the pair just can put down the cylinder lithium cell in the separation and snatch. Furthermore, the number of cylindrical lithium batteries which are transferred in a single execution mode by the sorting manipulator mechanism 4 is large, and is generally 8-15 lithium batteries; efficiency is higher for the actuating mechanism of this equipment upstream, so this scheme adopts same separation manipulator mechanism 4 cooperation two third conveyer belts 67 to select separately. Further, the first region 61 and the second region 62 of the cartridge 6 are respectively used for corresponding to the two third conveyor belts 67, and the sorting is performed based on the polarity sorting and the OCV test. In addition, still be equipped with the work piece on the magazine 6 and shift the motor to the transfer of drive work piece transfer area, the work piece transfer area can carry the cylinder lithium cell that sorting manipulator mechanism 4 fell into to the magazine 6 other end fast, avoids producing in blanking department and piles up.
This sorting facilities of cylinder lithium cell adopts above-mentioned structure, send into the cylinder lithium cell by 2 departments of feed mechanism earlier, then get into conveying mechanism, first transport section 6a tip among the conveying mechanism carries out polarity and selects separately, carry respectively on two second transport sections 6b, the second is carried section 6 b's end and is carried to third transport section 6c through stirring of second toggle wheel 81, carry section 6c on the third and detect via OCV accredited testing organization 5, remove the cylinder lithium cell to the silo that corresponds by sorting manipulator mechanism 4 at last, the completion is selected separately.
The above description is only for the preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art should be considered to be within the technical scope of the present invention, and the technical solutions and the inventive concepts thereof according to the present invention should be equivalent or changed within the scope of the present invention.
