In order to ensure that the distance adjusting jig 600 is smoothly switched between the initial state and the unfolded state, the base 611 is provided with a guide rod 611a, the plurality of clamping fingers 630 are all located on the guide rod 611a, and the distance-changing driving member 620 is used for driving the plurality of clamping fingers 630 to move away from or close to each other along the axial line extending direction of the guide rod 611 a. The guide rod 611a is additionally arranged to guide the clamping finger 630, so that the clamping finger 630 is prevented from vibrating or being stuck in the translation process.

In order to replace parts and reduce the maintenance difficulty, the clamp finger 630 includes a slider 631 and a contact piece 632, the slider is mounted on the base 611, the contact piece is mounted on the slider, the contact piece is arranged towards the feeding conveying belt 110, and the contact piece is used for abutting against the button single battery. The contact piece 632 is directly contacted with the button single battery 30, and is a vulnerable part, when the contact part of the contact piece 632 and the button single battery 30 is abraded after long-term use, so that the button single battery 30 cannot be completely clamped, the contact piece 632 can be independently replaced, and the number of parts needing to be assembled and disassembled during equipment maintenance is reduced.

Referring to fig. 7, in an embodiment, each of the sliding blocks 631 has a limiting groove 631a, the second end of each of the limiting strips 640 has a limiting buckle 641, when the distance adjusting fixture 600 is in the unfolded state, the limiting buckle 641 is configured to abut against the groove wall of the limiting groove 631a, and each of the limiting strips 640 is disposed in a staggered manner. And the slider 631 has been seted up and has been kept away a groove 631b, when the roll adjustment tool 600 was in initial condition, kept away a groove 631b on the slider 631 provided the spacing strip 640 of space holding, and spacing strip 640 wears to establish and keeps away a groove 631b promptly.

Referring to fig. 6, further, in order to ensure that the contact piece 632 is tightly attached to the button cell 30 that is clamped in the distance adjustment process, and to improve the clamping effect of the contact piece 632 on the button cell 30, an end of the contact piece 632 close to the feeding conveyor 110 is provided with an arc-shaped slot 632a, a notch of the arc-shaped slot 632a faces the feeding conveyor 110, and a slot wall of the arc-shaped slot 632a is used for abutting against an outer wall of the button cell.

The distance-adjusting jig 600 has the following advantages:

1. the plurality of clamping fingers 630 are driven to be separated from each other through the variable-pitch driving piece 620, so that the plurality of button single batteries clamped by the clamping fingers 630 are separated from each other, the plurality of button single batteries are separated, and the separated button single batteries are sent into a picking range of the transfer manipulator 320 to wait for transfer, the number of the button single batteries transferred in unit time is increased, and the transfer efficiency of the button single batteries is improved;

2. the clamping fingers 630 are independent from each other and can be replaced independently when worn, so that the maintenance cost of the equipment is reduced;

3. the distance between the clamping fingers 630 in the separated state is controlled by the limiting strips 640, and the distance between the separated single button batteries can be flexibly adjusted by independently replacing the limiting strips 640.

The above-mentioned embodiments only express several embodiments of the present invention, and the description thereof is more specific and detailed, but not construed as limiting the scope of the invention. It should be noted that, for a person skilled in the art, several variations and modifications can be made without departing from the inventive concept, which falls within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
