Example 1
[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, an automatic welding mechanism includes a frame 11 and a first workbench 12, the first workbench 12 is connected to the top of the frame 11 by a motor, a plurality of first supporting plates 13 distributed in an array are fixedly provided on the edge of the first workbench 12, the first supporting plates 13 are used to support the stacked cover plates 100 and the busbar 200, and a first loading assembly 14, a second loading assembly 15 and a first welding assembly 16 are fixedly provided on the frame 11 on the outer peripheral side of the first workbench 12 to automatically weld the cover plates 100 and the busbar 200 located on the first supporting plates 13 into one.
[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the present embodiment, there are eight first supporting plates 13, and the eight first supporting plates 13 are evenly distributed on the edge of the first workbench 12. The frame 11 is provided with six operating stations corresponding to the first supporting plates 13, including a first loading station, a second loading station, a first pre-welding inspection station, a first welding station, a first post-welding inspection station, an air cooling station, a good product unloading station and a defective product unloading station. In other embodiments, the corresponding stations on the frame 11 can be increased or decreased according to actual working conditions.
[0023] like Figure 2As shown, specifically, the first carrier plate 13 is provided with a busbar positioning pin 131, a cover plate positioning pin 132 and a limiting groove 133, the limiting groove 133 is arranged along the radial direction of the first workbench 12, and the busbar positioning pin 131 and the cover plate positioning pin 132 are arranged at both ends of the limiting groove 133. Among them, the cover plate positioning pin 132 is located on the side of the limiting groove 133 away from the rotation center of the first workbench 12, and when the cover plate 100 is attached to the first carrier plate 13, the cover plate positioning pin 132 is inserted into the air leakage hole of the cover plate 100. The bus plate positioning pin 131 is located on the side of the limiting groove 133 close to the rotation center of the first workbench 12. When the disk body 2001 is attached to the first supporting plate 13, the bus plate positioning pin 131 is inserted into the hole of the disk body 2001. At this time, the pole ear 2002 passes through the limiting groove 133 and the notch of the cover plate 100, and overlaps with part of the cover plate 100. The overlapping part is the area to be welded between the pole ear 2002 and the cover plate 100.
[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, the first loading assembly 14 is fixedly arranged at the first loading station, and the first loading assembly 14 includes a first positioning member 141 and a first transfer member 142. The first positioning member 141 includes a first fixed portion 1411, a first rotating portion 1412 and a first clamping portion 1413. The first fixed portion 1411 is fixedly arranged at the first loading station, and the first rotating portion 1412 is rotatably connected to the first fixed portion 1411 with a vertical axis as a rotating axis. The top of the first rotating portion 1412 is configured as a plane for carrying the cover plate 100, so as to adjust the angle of the cover plate 100 so that the air leakage holes of the cover plate 100 can correspond to the corresponding limiting structures on the corresponding first supporting plate 13. The first clamping portion 1413 is slidably connected to the top of the first rotating portion 1412 in pairs, and the first clamping portion 1413 is used to clamp the outer surface of the cover plate 100 to accurately locate the position of the cover plate 100.
[0025] The first transfer member 142 includes a first moving part 1421 capable of moving in vertical and horizontal directions and a first adsorption end 1422 for adsorbing the cover plate 100. The first moving part 1421 is fixedly disposed at the first loading station. The horizontal movement direction of the first moving part 1421 is along the radial direction of the first workbench 12. The first adsorption end 1422 is fixedly disposed at the output end of the first moving part 1421. The first adsorption end 1422 transfers the cover plate 100 on the first positioning member 141 to the first carrying plate 13.
[0026] like Figure 4As shown, the second loading assembly 15 includes a second transfer member 151 and a second adsorption end 152. The second transfer member 151 is fixed at the second loading station. The second transfer member 151 has a radial degree of freedom of translation along the first workbench 12 and a vertical degree of freedom of translation. The second adsorption end 152 is fixed at the output end of the second transfer member 151, and is used to transfer the busbar 200 to the first supporting plate 13, so that the busbar 200 is inserted into the busbar positioning pin 131, and the busbar 200 partially overlaps with the cover plate 100.
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the first pre-welding inspection station is fixedly provided with a first visual inspection component 181, and the first post-welding inspection station is fixedly provided with a second visual inspection component 182. In this embodiment, both the first visual inspection component 181 and the second visual inspection component 182 use visual modules, and the visual modules are arranged toward the first carrier plate 13 of the corresponding station. The first visual inspection component 181 is used to detect the positioning accuracy of the cover plate 100 and the busbar 200, and the second visual inspection component 182 is used to detect whether the welding structure of the cover plate 100 and the busbar 200 is good.
[0028] In this embodiment, the first visual inspection component 181 is provided with a deviation correction component to fine-tune the position of the cover plate 100 and the busbar 200 located at the pre-welding inspection station to ensure welding accuracy. Preferably, the deviation correction component is a pneumatic push rod.
[0029] The first welding assembly 16 is fixedly mounted at the first welding station, and includes a first movable member 161 and a first welding member 162. The first movable member 161 has a degree of freedom of translation in the vertical direction, that is, the first movable member 161 is slidably connected to the frame 11 in the vertical direction, and an output end of the first movable member 161 is opposite to the first supporting plate 13 located at the first welding station, that is, the output end of the first movable member 161 vertically overlaps with the rotation path of the first supporting plate 13.
[0030] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the first welding station is provided with a bearing 164, and the bearing 164 is slidably connected to the frame 11 in the vertical direction, and the bearing 164 overlaps vertically with the rotation path of the first bearing plate 13. In the present embodiment, the bearing 164 is constructed as a rectangular parallelepiped structure. The bearing 164 is provided with a through hole 165 that penetrates in the vertical direction, and the bearing 164 protrudes with a plurality of welding pressure claws 166 toward the central axis of the through hole 165, and the welding pressure claws 166 further define an area in the through hole 165 in the vertical direction. Preferably, the side of the welding pressure claw 166 toward the center of the through hole 165 is configured as a plane in the vertical direction. More preferably, there are four welding pressure claws 166, two by two in a pair, and in the vertical direction, the four welding pressure claws 166 enclose a space that is approximately rectangular, and there is a spacing between two adjacent welding pressure claws 166.
[0031] The bottom surface of the carrier 164 is a curved surface that protrudes in the center and bends upward on the outer peripheral side, and the bottom of the welding pressure claw 166 is a curved surface that conforms to the curvature, so that the bottom of the welding pressure claw 166 close to the center of the through hole 165 is the lowest point of the carrier 164. When the carrier 164 abuts against the busbar 200, the welding pressure claw 166 and the busbar 200 are in approximate line contact to reduce the contact area between the welding pressure claw 166 and the busbar 200.
[0032] The support member 164 is internally provided with a plurality of first pressing members 163 , which are slidably connected to the support member along the vertical direction, and are partially located on the support member 164 , and partially extend downward from the support member 164 , and are elastically slidably connected to the support member 164 via springs.
[0033] In this embodiment, there are four groups of first pressing pieces 163 , one first pressing piece 163 is disposed between two adjacent welding jaws 166 , and the first pressing pieces 163 and the welding jaws 166 together form a vertical channel for the first welding piece 162 to be welded.
[0034] like Figure 7As shown, the frame 11 is fixed with a locking assembly 17, which has a degree of freedom of translation in the vertical direction, and the locking assembly 17 approaches or moves away from the busbar 200 located on the first welding station in the vertical direction. The locking assembly 17 includes a locking ring 171 and a locking plate 172, and the locking ring 171 is configured as a hollow ring structure. The locking ring 171 is slidably connected to the frame 11. When the locking ring 171 presses the disc body 2001, the busbar positioning pin 131 is located in the middle of the locking ring 171, thereby ensuring that the disc body 2001 is tightly pressed against the first carrier plate 13, while avoiding interference between the busbar positioning pin 131 and the locking ring 171. The locking plate 172 is fixedly connected to the outer peripheral side of the locking ring 171, and extends along the radial direction of the first worktable 12 toward the rotation center direction away from the first worktable 12. The locking plate 172 is constructed into a horizontal plate structure. When the locking plate 172 abuts against the disk body 2001, the locking plate 172 abuts against the pole ear 2002, and the length of the locking plate 172 is less than the length of the pole ear 2002, that is, the length of the locking plate 172 extends to the entrance of the cover plate 100, and does not extend to the area to be welded between the pole ear 2002 and the cover plate 100.
[0035] In order to ensure high-precision welding between the busbar 200 and the cover plate 100, the locking assembly 17 and the first welding assembly 16 achieve precise positioning and stable welding through staged synergy. First, the hollow ring structure of the locking ring 171 presses the busbar 200 downward to make it fit tightly with the first carrier plate 13. At the same time, the hollow design avoids the busbar positioning pin 131 to ensure accurate center positioning of the disc body 2001; then, the locking plate 172 fixed on the outer peripheral side of the locking ring 171 presses the pole ear 2002 horizontally to eliminate the gap between the pole ear 2002 and the cover plate 100, but its length is designed to ensure that it does not cover the area to be welded. Subsequently, the first pressing parts 163 of the first welding assembly 16 are partially pre-pressed on the pole lug 2002 around the welding head under the buffering effect of the spring floating device. These pressing parts are first in contact with the pole lug 2002 because they are higher than the welding head, and the periphery of the welding area is evenly flattened by elastic pressure. The first moving part 161 drives the first welding part 162 to be pressed vertically down to a preset position, and precise welding is performed in the welding area without external interference. From the overall fixation of the disk 2001, the flattening of the pole lug 2002 area to the local pre-pressing of the welding point, the precise operation of the welding head is finally achieved, effectively avoiding the risk of offset caused by multi-force coupling. At the same time, the spring floating design and the space avoidance structure jointly compensate for the assembly tolerance of the parts to ensure a stable and reliable welding process.
[0036] The air cooling station is provided with a heat dissipation fan (not shown in the figure), and the heat dissipation fan is arranged toward the first supporting plate 13 on the air cooling station to cool down the welded product 500.
[0037] like Figure 1As shown, the frame 11 is provided with a first conveying assembly 19, and the first conveying assembly 19 is close to the first good product unloading station and the first good product unloading station, that is, the first good product unloading station and the first good product unloading station share the first conveying assembly 19 to unload the product 500. The first conveying assembly 19 includes a first good product conveyor belt 191, a first unloading driving member 192 and a first good product conveyor belt 193, and the first unloading driving member 192 has three mutually perpendicular translational degrees of freedom, and the output end of the first unloading driving member 192 is a suction port to absorb the good product 500 and move it to the first good product conveyor belt 191, or absorb the defective product 500 and move it to the first good product conveyor belt 193.

A plurality of second bearing plates 22 are provided on the outer peripheral side of the second workbench 21, and the plurality of second bearing plates 22 are evenly distributed on the edge of the first workbench 12. In this embodiment, six operating stations corresponding to the second bearing plates 22 are provided on the frame 11, including a third loading station, a pre-coding inspection station, a coding station, a post-coding inspection station, a second good product unloading station, and a second good product unloading station.
[0040] The frame 11 at the third loading station is fixed with a third loading assembly 23, and the third loading assembly 23 includes a loading tray 231 and a first robotic arm 232. The first robotic arm 232 is a five-axis robotic arm. The output end of the first robotic arm 232 has a suction port.

[0041] The pre-coding inspection station is fixed with a third visual inspection component 24, and the post-coding inspection station is fixed with a fourth visual inspection component 25. In this embodiment, the third visual inspection component 24 and the fourth visual inspection component 25 both use visual modules, and the visual modules are arranged toward the second carrier plate 22 of the corresponding station. The third visual inspection component 24 detects the positioning accuracy of the busbar 200, and the fourth visual inspection component 25 identifies the number of the corresponding busbar 200, so as to accurately control the subsequent automated production.

The smoothing member 263 is configured as a hollow cylindrical structure, and the laser coder 262 is located inside the smoothing member 263. The smoothing member 263 presses the edge of the disk body 2001 to prevent the edge of the disk body 2001 from warping to ensure the flatness of the disk body 2001, and the laser coder 262 then codes the disk body 2001, that is, the busbar 200 is numbered.
[0043] The frame 11 is fixed with a second conveying assembly 27, which is close to the second good product unloading station and the second good product unloading station, that is, the second good product unloading station and the second good product unloading station share the second conveying assembly 27 to unload the product 500.

The supporting block 532 supports the welded product 500, and the supporting block 532 slides along the length direction of the guide rail 531.
[0053] The film sticking member 522 has three degrees of translational freedom, and the end of the film sticking member 522 is a suction port. The film sticking member 522 removes the film 400 from the roll film and sticks it on the product 500. Since there is a certain probability that the film 400 is not attached to the product 500, a film cleaning platform 54 is fixed on the frame 11 of the carrying platform 521. When it is detected that the film 400 on the suction port of the film sticking member 522 is not attached to the surface of the product 500, the film sticking member 522 will move to the top of the film cleaning platform and stick the film 400 on the suction port to the film cleaning platform. Since the stickiness of the film 400 that has been stuck once decreases and is easily stained with dust, the film 400 is discarded on the film cleaning platform, and a new film 400 is taken and attached to the product 500.
