[0042] Example

[0043] The present application provides a multi-station rotary processing device suitable for battery production lines, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes: a rotating platform 1, a rotating device 2, a processing station 3 and a main control unit 4;

[0044] The rotating platform 1 is connected to the output end of the rotating device 2. Several processing stations 3 are arranged in sequence along the circumferential direction of the rotating platform 1. Each processing station 3 is provided with several rotatable clamping mechanisms 31, which are used to clamp and rotate the battery.

[0045] At least some of the processing stations 3 correspond to external processing mechanisms 6 for clamping batteries for processing by the external processing mechanisms 6;

[0046] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present application, there is a processing space for connecting the external processing mechanism 6 on the side of the processing station 3 facing away from the rotating platform 1. The external processing mechanism 6 is arranged in the processing space and is arranged opposite to the processing station 3 of each processing space.

[0047] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present application, the rotating device 2 is arranged at the bottom of the rotating platform 1, and the output shaft of the rotating device 2 is coaxially arranged with the center of the rotating platform 1 to achieve the same rotation angle of each processing station 3, thereby enhancing the synchronization and consistency of the rotation of each processing station 3, and reducing interference factors and influencing factors during the rotation of the rotating platform 1.

[0048] More specifically, in some embodiments of the present application, the rotating device 2 is a servo motor having high dynamic response capability and fast acceleration and deceleration capabilities to meet precise control requirements.

[0049] It can be understood that each processing station 3 is provided with a plurality of clamping mechanisms 31, which facilitates the simultaneous processing of multiple batteries of the same batch, and to a certain extent helps to improve the battery production efficiency;

[0050] Of course, there is no restriction on the number of the clamping mechanisms 31 , and the multiple clamping mechanisms 31 on the same processing station 3 are hierarchically distributed along the radial line of the rotating platform 1 .

[0051] The clamping mechanism 31 is used to clamp and rotate the battery. The clamping and rotation of the battery by the clamping mechanism 31 can more effectively adjust the position of the battery to meet the processing requirements of different processing steps.

[0052] The main control unit 4 is electrically connected to the rotating device 2 and the clamping mechanism 31. The rotating device 2 is used to drive the rotating platform 1. The rotating platform 1 rotates according to the set angle and interval time so that all processing stations 3 change positions in sequence. Each clamping mechanism 31 is used to cooperate with the rotation of the rotating platform 1 to clamp and / or rotate the battery. When the battery located on the processing station 3 moves to the position of a certain external processing mechanism 6, the clamping mechanism 31 rotates the battery so that the external processing mechanism 6 can process the battery.

[0053] The setting of the main control unit 4 enhances the coordination between the rotating device 2 and the clamping mechanism 31. For different processing stations 3, the clamping mechanism 31 performs different operations to achieve good processing effects. Through the rotation of the rotating device 2, different batches of batteries are driven to move synchronously to different external processing mechanisms 6 along with each processing station 3 in the order of processing steps, so as to realize the processing steps of the same batch of batteries, so that different batches of batteries are in different processing steps. Through the drive of the rotating device 2, they move synchronously to the next processing step, and the batteries do not need to be transferred between multiple conveying devices, which reduces the number of conveying devices, simplifies the volume and structure of the device itself, and effectively improves production efficiency.

[0054] Furthermore, the processing station 3 includes: one or more of a loading station, a laser texturing station, a plasma cleaning station, a testing station, a three-dimensional spraying and pre-curing station, and a unloading station;

[0055] All processing stations 3 are arranged in sequence along the rotating platform 1 in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction according to the order of processing steps.

[0056] The design that all processing stations 3 are arranged in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction along the rotating platform 1 in the order of processing steps makes the processing flow more compact and smooth, effectively reduces the transportation time and waiting time spent on the reciprocating transportation of batteries through the conveying device, and arranges the external processing mechanism 6 corresponding to the processing station 3 in a predetermined order, and then rotates the rotating device 2 to minimize the idling and pause time, thereby improving the battery production efficiency.

[0057] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present application, different external processing mechanisms 6 can be set corresponding to different processing stations 3. A reasonably designed station sequence helps to reduce the number and distance of battery movements during the processing process, saving processing time.

[0058] The orderly setting of workstations helps ensure that different batches of batteries can be processed according to the established processing steps, reducing the differences between different batches of batteries and thus improving the reliability of battery quality control;

[0059] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present application, the position of the external processing mechanism 6 can also be adjusted according to changes in actual processing steps, and the processing station 3 also includes but is not limited to a loading station, a laser texturing station, a plasma cleaning station, a detection station, a three-dimensional spraying and pre-curing station, and a unloading station.

[0060] Furthermore, all the processing stations 3 are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the rotating platform 1 , and the angles between the lengthwise connecting lines of two adjacent processing stations 3 are the same.

[0061] The angles between the lengthwise connecting lines of two adjacent processing stations 3 are the same. The uniform distribution of the processing stations 3 on the rotating platform 1 can avoid excessive concentration or dispersion, thereby contributing to the uniform effect of stress and achieving a good and smooth rotation effect of the rotating platform 1.

[0062] The evenly distributed processing stations 3 can also make the movement of the rotating platform 1 more stable. The distance and weight distribution between different processing stations 3 are even, which enhances the balance of the rotating platform 1 and improves the stability and safety of the operation of the multi-station rotary processing device.

[0063] Setting the same angle also helps to keep the processing time and production process of each processing station 3 consistent, so that each processing station 3 can rotate synchronously, further realizing accurate production scheduling and process control, which is conducive to improving the controllability and predictability of the production process.

[0064] Furthermore, if Figure 5 As shown, the clamping mechanism 31 includes a first clamping portion 311 and a second clamping portion 312;

[0065] The first clamping portion 311 is provided with a synchronization mechanism 314 and a rotation mechanism 313. The input end of the synchronization mechanism 314 is connected to the rotation mechanism 313, and the output end of the synchronization mechanism 314 is connected to at least two batteries to achieve synchronous rotation of all batteries.

[0066] It can be understood that the power of the rotating mechanism 313 can be transmitted to the synchronization mechanism 314, and then the synchronization mechanism 314 can synchronously drive multiple batteries to achieve synchronous driving of all batteries on the same clamping mechanism 31. It can be used in steps such as laser texturing, plasma cleaning, three-dimensional spraying and pre-curing that require flipping the processing surface of the battery, realizing the free rotation of the battery, with better flexibility, and helping to better complete the processing process.

[0067] Connecting the rotating mechanism 313 with multiple batteries through the synchronization mechanism 314 helps to achieve synchronous movement of all batteries in the same processing batch. On the one hand, it can avoid to a certain extent the unbalanced or unstable clamping conditions caused by the difference in rotation speed between the batteries. On the other hand, the synchronous movement of multiple batteries helps to reduce the difference factors and achieve consistency in the processing effect and processing quality of each battery in the same batch.

[0068] An elastic member 315 is provided on a surface of the second clamping portion 312 facing the first clamping portion 311 for cooperating with the first clamping portion 311 to clamp the battery.

[0069] An elastic member 315 is provided on the side of the second clamping portion 312 facing the first clamping portion 311. The elastic member 315 can provide soft and uniform force when clamping the battery, and can also provide buffering force to reduce damage to the battery and mechanical structure and improve clamping stability and safety; the elastic member 315 can also adjust the clamping force so that the battery maintains a stable clamping state and can adapt to different battery sizes during rotation.

[0070] Furthermore, if Figure 5 As shown, an adjustment assembly 316 is provided at the bottom of each of the first clamping portion 311 and the second clamping portion 312;

[0071] The adjusting component 316 is used to adjust the relative distance between the first clamping portion 311 and the second clamping portion 312 .

[0072] The distance between the first clamping portion 311 and the second clamping portion 312 can be easily adjusted by adjusting the assembly 316 . This allows the clamping mechanism 31 to adapt to batteries of different sizes and shapes, making it highly adaptable and versatile.

[0073] On the other hand, the adjustment component 316 can also adjust the clamping force of the first clamping portion 311 and the second clamping portion 312 on the battery, which helps to improve the stability of the clamping process;

[0074] On the other hand, the battery can be moved and the relative position of the battery and the external processing mechanism 6 can be changed by moving and cooperating the first clamping portion 311 and the second clamping portion 312 .

[0075] Furthermore, if Figure 5 As shown, the adjustment assembly 316 includes a driving device 3161, a slide rail 3162, a moving platform 317 and a slider 3163;

[0076] The driving device 3161 and the slide rail 3162 are arranged on the movable platform 317 , the slider 3163 is arranged on the first clamping portion 311 and / or the second clamping portion 312 , and limiting members 3164 are further arranged at both ends of the slide rail 3162 in the length direction.

[0077] The setting of the limiter 3164 mainly serves to limit the range of motion between the slide rail 3162 and the slider 3163 of the mobile platform 317, so that the slider 3163 moves along the preset length direction, thereby improving the controllability of the movement of the slide rail 3162 and the slider 3163 of the mobile platform 317, and thereby improving the reliability and safety of the equipment operation.

[0078] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, a buffer gap 12 extending along the radial direction of the rotating platform 1 is provided between adjacent processing stations 3 .

[0079] The reserved buffer gap 12 can avoid accidental collisions between adjacent processing stations 3 during movement or position adjustment, help reduce damage to the clamping mechanism 31 caused by collision, and improve overall safety; by setting the buffer gap 12, the clamping mechanism 31 can move more smoothly and freely during operation, help optimize the operation of the production line, reduce production interruptions caused by collisions or pauses, and improve production efficiency and overall work fluency.

[0080] Preferably, in some embodiments of the present application, the buffer gap 12 gradually widens along the radial direction of the rotating platform 1 .

[0081] Furthermore, if Figure 4 As shown, each processing station 3 is further provided with an in-position detection device 32 for detecting the relative position of each processing station 3 and the external processing mechanism 6.

[0082] The in-place detection device 32 can detect the relative position of the processing station 3 and the external processing mechanism 6, or detect the relative position of the battery and the external processing mechanism 6. When the processing station 3 or the battery does not reach the preset position, it can be adjusted through the main control unit 4, thereby avoiding processing errors due to position differences, helping to improve processing quality, enhance battery processing effects, and maintain consistency in battery processing and stability in processing quality.

[0083] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, the side of the rotating platform 1 facing away from the processing station 3 is evenly and radially provided with reinforcement structures 11.

[0084] The reinforcement structure 11 can effectively enhance the structural strength of the rotating platform 1, thereby improving the overall stability of the rotating platform 1. The reinforcement structure 11 can also provide additional support and strength to disperse gravity, so that the platform maintains stability and safety during long-term operation.

[0085] The reinforcement structures 11 are evenly arranged in a radial pattern, which also helps to evenly distribute the weight on the surface of the rotating platform 1, making the rotation process of the rotating platform 1 more stable.

[0086] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a lifting mechanism 5 for adjusting the rotating platform 1 is provided at the bottom of the rotating device 2 .

[0087] The lifting mechanism 5 can adjust the height of the rotating platform 1 according to the specific processing step requirements, and has strong adjustment flexibility to adapt to different working heights to obtain good processing effects.

[0088] The embodiments of the present application have at least the following beneficial effects:

[0089] The embodiment of the present application provides a multi-station rotary processing device, which can effectively reduce the transportation and transfer of batteries between different processes, effectively improve production efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and optimize the overall structural setting of the device; specifically, multiple processing stations 3 are arranged in an integrated manner, and the multi-station rotary processing device is rotated to allow the batteries to alternate between different processes, effectively reducing the transportation time and process of the batteries.
