Unless otherwise indicated, "several" means two or more.

[0073] More detailed explanations of the technical solutions of the present application will be found below, with reference to the specific embodiments and the attached figures.

[0074] Referring to [Fig.l], [Fig.2] and [Fig.3], a nozzle insertion and extraction device 100 comprises: a conveying positioning mechanism 1, a disassembling mechanism 2 and a nozzle insertion-extraction mechanism 3, wherein, the conveying positioning mechanism 1 is configured to convey a retaining tray A2 provided with a negative pressure assembly A1 to a disassembling station 3, the disassembling mechanism 2 is configured to detach the negative pressure assembly A1 disposed on the disassembling station from the retaining tray A2, so that the negative pressure assembly A1 and the retaining tray A2 are detached from each other, the conveying positioning mechanism 1 is further configured to move one of the negative pressure assembly A1 and the retaining tray A2 away from each other,so that a worn nozzle B1 of the negative pressure assembly Al no longer presses against a battery on the retaining tray A2, the nozzle insertion-extraction mechanism 3 is configured to remove the worn nozzle B1 from the negative pressure assembly Al and to insert a new nozzle B2 into the negative pressure assembly Al. ,

[0075] According to the present embodiment, when a leakage condition is detected in the worn nozzle B1 of the negative pressure assembly A1 on the retaining tray A2 and the nozzle needs to be replaced, firstly, the retaining tray A2 provided with the negative pressure assembly A1 is configured to be transported to the disassembly station by the transport positioning mechanism 1, after the retaining tray A2 provided with the negative pressure assembly A1 arrives at the disassembly station, the negative pressure assembly A1 disposed at the disassembly station is configured to be detached from the retaining tray A2 by the disassembly mechanism 2, so that the negative pressure assembly A1 and the retaining tray A2 are detached from each other, then, one of the negative pressure assembly A1 and the retaining tray A2 is configured to move away from each other by the transport positioning mechanism 1,so that the worn nozzle B1 on the negative pressure assembly Al no longer presses against the battery on the retaining tray A2, the worn nozzle B1 on the negative pressure assembly Al is protected from interference from the battery, finally, the worn nozzle B1 on the negative pressure assembly Al is configured to be removed by the nozzle insertion-extraction mechanism 3, and a new nozzle B2 is configured to be inserted into the negative pressure assembly Al by the nozzle insertion-extraction mechanism 3, thus, the purpose of replacing the nozzle is achieved.

[0076] It can be seen that when replacing the nozzle, the purpose of replacing the nozzle can be achieved automatically through the coordination of the conveying positioning mechanism 1, the disassembling mechanism 2 and the nozzle insertion-extraction mechanism 3, without personal intervention in the whole process, therefore, on the one hand, labor intensity is reduced, and on the other hand, replacement efficiency is improved.

[0077] It should be noted that the number of the above-mentioned disassembly mechanisms 2 is configured to be one or four, depending on the specific mounting situation of the negative pressure assembly A1 on the retaining tray A2. For example, assuming that the negative pressure assembly A1 is detachably connected to the retaining tray A2 by one connecting structure, then the number of the disassembly mechanisms 2 is configured to be one, assuming that the negative pressure assembly A1 is detachably connected to the retaining tray A2 by four connecting structures, then the number of the disassembly mechanisms 2 is configured to be four, the four disassembly mechanisms 2 are in one-to-one correspondence with the four connecting structures, thus the purpose of detaching the negative pressure assembly A1 from the retaining tray A2 can be achieved.

[0078] Wherein, the structure of the above-mentioned disassembly mechanism 2 is configured to be specific to the structure of the connecting structure, assuming that the connecting structure is a spring clamp, then the disassembly structure may comprise a disassembly cylinder, by making a piston rod of the disassembly cylinder push a gripping end of the spring clamp, a clamping port of the spring clamp is configured to be opened, thus, the purpose of detaching the negative pressure assembly A1 disposed on the disassembly station from the holding tray A2 can be achieved.

[0079] Obviously, based on different connecting structures, the disassembly mechanism 2 may also have other possible structures, and the disassembly mechanism 2 is not limited in this embodiment.

[0080] Wherein the above description wherein the conveyance positioning mechanism 1 is further configured to move one of the negative pressure assembly A1 and the retaining tray A2 away from the other refers to: in a first case, the retaining tray A2 remains stationary, the conveyance positioning mechanism 1 moves the negative pressure assembly A1 away from the retaining tray A2, in a second case, the negative pressure assembly A1 remains stationary, the conveyance positioning mechanism 1 moves the retaining tray A2 away from the negative pressure assembly A1, regardless of the above-mentioned case, provided that the worn nozzle B1 on the negative pressure assembly A1 is configured to no longer press against the battery on the retaining tray A2, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0081] It should be noted that the new nozzle B2 mentioned above is configured to be understood in a broad sense, the new nozzle B2 does not specifically refers to a brand new nozzle, any nozzle that works well after being cleaned and refurbished can be considered a new nozzle B2, and the worn nozzle B1 mentioned above refers to a nozzle that needs to be replaced.

[0082] When the negative pressure assembly A1 remains stationary, the conveyance positioning mechanism 1 moves the retaining tray A2 away from the negative pressure assembly A1, in order to prevent the negative pressure assembly A1 from falling off the retaining tray A2 in the conveyance process, according to some embodiments, the disassembly mechanism 2 is further configured to hold the negative pressure assembly A1 detached from the retaining tray A2 in the disassembly mechanism 2, thus, the disassembly mechanism 2 is configured to serve for clamping the negative pressure assembly A1, therefore, the circumstance that the negative pressure assembly A1 falls off the retaining tray A2 can be avoided when the conveyance positioning mechanism 1 moves the retaining tray A2 away from the negative pressure assembly A1.

[0083] It should be noted that the above description in which the disassembly mechanism 2 is further configured to hold the negative pressure assembly A1 detached from the retaining tray A2 in the disassembly mechanism 2 refers to that: the disassembly mechanism 2 is configured to hold the negative pressure assembly A1 on the disassembly mechanism 2 or release the negative pressure assembly A1 from connection with the disassembly mechanism 2 according to actual circumstances.

[0084] In particular, once the negative pressure assembly Al is detached from the retaining tray A2, in order for the negative pressure assembly Al to remain stationary in the process of moving the retaining tray A2 away from the negative pressure assembly Al, the negative pressure assembly Al can be held in the disassembly mechanism 2.

[0085] After the disassembly mechanism 2 reassembles the negative pressure assembly A1 onto the retaining plate A2, in order to make the assembly formed by the negative pressure assembly A1 and the retaining plate A2 move away from the disassembly mechanism 2, the negative pressure assembly A1 can be released from the connection with the disassembly mechanism 2, thereby ensuring that the assembly formed by the negative pressure assembly A1 and the retaining plate A2 can move away from the disassembly mechanism 2.

[0086] Several embodiments are provided for the above-mentioned transport positioning mechanism A1, in one of the possible embodiments, with reference to [Fig.2] and [Fig.4], the transport positioning mechanism 1 comprises: a transport assembly 11 and a lifting positioning assembly 12, wherein the transport assembly 11 is configured to transport the tray retaining tray A2 provided with the negative pressure assembly A1 to a tray loading station, the lifting positioning assembly 12 is configured to be arranged under the tray loading station, the lifting positioning assembly 12 is configured to lift the retaining tray A2 provided with the negative pressure assembly A1 from the tray loading station to the disassembly station, and the lifting positioning assembly 12 is further configured to drive the retaining tray A2 to descend to the tray loading station, so that the retaining tray A2 moves away from the negative pressure assembly A1.

[0087] According to this embodiment, when the retaining tray A2 provided with the negative pressure assembly A1 is to be transported to the disassembly station, firstly, the retaining tray A2 provided with the negative pressure assembly A1 can be transported to the tray loading station by the conveying assembly 11, after the retaining tray A2 provided with the negative pressure assembly A1 arrives at the tray loading station, the lifting positioning assembly 12 is configured to lift the retaining tray A2 from the bottom, so that the retaining tray A2 provided with the negative pressure assembly A1 is lifted from the tray loading station to the disassembly station, thus, the purpose of transporting the retaining tray A2 provided with the negative pressure assembly A1 to the disassembly station is achieved.

[0088] After the retaining tray A2 provided with the negative pressure assembly Al is transported to the disassembly station and the negative pressure assembly Al disposed on the disassembly station is detached from the retaining tray A2 by the disassembly mechanism 2, the negative pressure assembly Al detached from the retaining tray A2 can be held in the disassembly mechanism 2 by the disassembly mechanism 2, then the lifting positioning assembly 12 is configured to drive the retaining tray A2 to descend to the tray loading station, thus, the purpose of moving the retaining tray A2 away from the negative pressure assembly Al is achieved.

[0089] It can be seen that the lifting positioning assembly 12 plays a role in lifting the retaining tray A2 provided with the negative pressure assembly A1 from the tray loading station to the disassembly station on the one hand, and the lifting positioning assembly 12 plays a role in driving the retaining tray A2 to descend on the other hand, in order to achieve the purpose of moving the retaining tray A2 away from the negative pressure assembly A1, the lifting positioning assembly 12 has a multi-function, and gravity is also used to serve as the descending power of the retaining tray A2, this which allows on the one hand to simplify the structure of the transport positioning mechanism 1, and on the other hand to reduce the labor cost.

[0090] The above description wherein the conveying assembly 11 is configured to be any one of a roller conveying structure, a belt conveying structure or a chain conveying structure, as long as the purpose of conveying the holding tray A2 provided with the negative pressure assembly A1 to the tray loading station can be achieved, the conveying assembly 11 is not limited in this embodiment.

[0091] Several embodiments are provided for the lifting positioning assembly 12 mentioned above, in one of the possible embodiments, with reference to [Fig.2] and [Fig.4], the lifting positioning assembly 12 comprises a first mounting component 123, a lifting drive component 121 and a lifting component 122, wherein, the lifting drive component 121 is disposed on the first mounting component 123, the lifting component 122 is configured to be slidably disposed on the first mounting component 123, a positioning component 1221 corresponding to the retaining plate A2 is disposed on the lifting component 122, the lifting drive component 121 is configured to drive the lifting component 122 to rise by a first distance,so that the retaining tray A2 provided with the negative pressure assembly A1 is lifted from the tray loading station to the disassembly station, and the lifting drive component 121 is further configured to drive the lifting component 122 to descend, so that the retaining tray A2 is driven to descend to the tray loading station synchronously.

[0092] Because a positioning component 1221 corresponding to the retaining tray A2 is provided on the lifting component 122, the position of the retaining tray A2 on the lifting component 122 is relatively accurate under the action of the positioning component 1221, therefore, when the retaining tray A2 provided with the negative pressure assembly A1 is lifted a first distance by the lifting component 122 to ascend from the tray loading station to the disassembly station, the position of the negative pressure assembly A1 on the disassembly station is relatively accurate, which enables the disassembly mechanism 2 to detach the negative pressure assembly A1 from the retaining tray A2, and prevents the negative pressure assembly A1 from being detached from the retaining tray A2 due to the misalignment between the disassembly mechanism 2 and the negative pressure assembly A1.

[0093] Wherein, the aforementioned lifting drive component 121 is configured to be an air cylinder, an electric cylinder or the like, and the lifting drive component 121 is not limited in this embodiment. The above-mentioned lifting component 122 may be a plate-shaped structure or any other possible structure, and the lifting component 122 is also not limited in this embodiment.

[0094] The above-mentioned positioning component 1221 may be a positioning pin, a positioning block or others, as long as the positioning component 1221 can serve to position the retaining plate A2, and the positioning component 1221 is not limited in this embodiment.

[0095] Several ways are provided for the above-mentioned lifting component 122 to be slidably disposed on the first mounting component 123, for example, the lifting component 122 is configured to be slidably disposed on the first mounting component 123 using a guide column, obviously, the lifting component 122 is configured to be slidably disposed on the first mounting component 123 in other ways, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0096] In addition, the lifting component 122 and the first mounting component 123 mentioned above may be a plate-shaped structure or any other possible structure, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0097] According to some embodiments, referring to [Fig.l] and [Fig.5], the nozzle insertion and extraction device 100 further comprises: a buffer assembly 4, the buffer assembly 4 is attached to the transport assembly 11, the transport assembly 11 is configured to transport the retaining tray A2 lowered to the tray loading station to the buffer assembly 4, such that the retaining tray A2 is separated from the lifting component 122, and the buffer assembly 4 is configured to buffer the retaining tray A2.

[0098] The retaining tray A2 lowered to the tray loading station can be buffered in the buffer assembly 4 in time by providing the buffer assembly 4, and the retaining tray A2 is separated from the lifting component 122, in this way, on the one hand, no obstruction of the retaining tray A2 exists between the lifting component 122 and the negative pressure assembly A1, thus providing an action space for the lifting component 122 to perform other subsequent actions, on the other hand, the buffer assembly 4 is further configured to provide a special storage space for the retaining tray A2, in order to avoid or reduce the possibility of mutual interference between the retaining tray A2 and other structures.

[0099] Wherein, referring to [Fig.4], the aforementioned buffer assembly 4 is configured to be any one of a roller conveying structure, a belt conveying structure or a chain conveying structure. In particular, when the buffer assembly 4 is the roller conveying structure, the assembly buffer 4 is configured to comprise a plurality of rollers 42, the plurality of rollers 42 are configured to be arranged rotatably and in rows, thus, when the roller 42 rotates, the purpose of buffering the retaining tray A2 in the buffer assembly 4 in a timely manner can be achieved.

[0100] Due to the mature and stable operation of the roller conveying structure, the belt conveying structure or the chain conveying structure, the stability of the operation of the buffer assembly 4 can be guaranteed.

[0101] When the buffer assembly 4 is configured to be any one of the roller conveying structure, the belt conveying structure or the chain conveying structure, the inlet end of the buffer assembly 4 is attached to the outlet end of the conveying assembly 11, and the buffer assembly 4 and the conveying assembly 11 are both configured to carry out conveyance in forward and backward directions, thus, when the retaining tray A2 on the tray loading station is to be buffered in the buffer assembly 4, firstly, the conveying assembly 11 is configured to convey the retaining tray A2 in a direction close to the inlet end of the buffer assembly 4, so that the retaining tray A2 can arrive at the buffer assembly 4 by passing through the outlet end of the conveying assembly 11 and the inlet end of the buffer assembly 4 sequentially, then,the buffer assembly 4 is configured to continuously convey the retaining tray A2 in the direction away from the conveying assembly 11, so that the retaining tray A2 is completely separated from the conveying assembly 11.,

[0102] In order to prevent the retaining tray A2 from falling off the buffer assembly 4 due to a too long conveying path in the conveying process of the buffer assembly 4 conveying the retaining tray A2 in the direction away from the conveying assembly 11, according to some embodiments, referring to [Fig. 5], a retaining tray blocking component 41 is provided on the buffer assembly 4, the retaining tray blocking component 41 is provided on a conveying path of the retaining tray A2 and configured to prevent the buffer assembly 4 from conveying the retaining tray A2 in the direction away from the conveying assembly 11.

[0103] Thus, by providing the retaining tray blocking component 41, the occurrence of the circumstance of falling from the buffer assembly 4 due to an excessive conveying path of the buffer assembly 4 which carries out conveying in the direction away from the conveying assembly 11 is avoided.

[0104] The above-mentioned retaining plate locking component 41 is configured to be a stop block, a stop plate or the like, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0105] In order to ensure stable conveyance of the retaining tray A2 when the retaining tray A2 is conveyed to the buffer assembly 4 by the conveying assembly 11, the conveying speed of the conveying assembly 11 and the conveying speed of the buffer assembly 4 are configured to be the same, thus, the process of conveying the retaining tray A2 by the conveying assembly 11 to the buffer assembly 4 is very stable.

[0106] Because the buffer assembly 4 and the conveying assembly 11 are both configured to carry out conveyance in forward and backward directions, the retaining tray A2 is configured to be returned to the conveying assembly 11, the function being very versatile.

[0107] Once the retaining plate A2 is buffered in the buffer assembly 4, the lifting drive component 121 is further configured to drive the lifting component 122 to rise a second distance to a leak detection station, such that the worn nozzle B1 on the negative pressure assembly A1 bears against the lifting component 122, the second distance being different from the first distance.

[0108] When the lifting drive member 121 drives the lifting component 122 to rise a second distance to the leak detection station, the waste nozzle B1 of the negative pressure assembly A1 presses against the lifting component 122 accurately, thus, the lifting component 122 is configured to serve to close the opening of the waste nozzle B1, providing a basis for performing leak detection on the waste nozzle B1.

[0109] It can be seen that the lifting component 122 plays a role in lifting the retaining tray A2 provided with the negative pressure assembly A1 from the tray loading station to the above-mentioned disassembly station on the one hand, and to drive the retaining tray A2 to descend to move the retaining tray A2 away from the negative pressure assembly A1, the lifting component 122 plays a role in sealing the opening of the used nozzle B1 on the other hand by lifting the lifting component 122 a second distance until the lifting component 122 presses against the used nozzle B1, the structural design is very ingenious, several functions can be realized by one lifting component 122, therefore, the cost of the nozzle insertion and extraction device 100 is reduced while the structure of the nozzle insertion and extraction device 100 is simplified.

[0110] When the lifting component 122 rises, in order to ensure that the retaining tray A2 provided with the negative pressure assembly A1 is configured to be lifted from the tray loading station to the disassembly station and to be raised the second distance to the leak detection station accurately, According to some embodiments, referring to [Fig.2], the nozzle insertion and extraction device 100 further comprises: a passage limiting mechanism 5, the passage limiting mechanism 5 is configured to limit the lifting component 122 from rising by the first or the second distance, so that the lifting component 122 rises to the disassembly station or the leak detection station.

[0111] By providing the passage limiting mechanism 5, according to one of the possible embodiments, as needed, the passage limiting mechanism 5 is configured to pass the limiting component to the height where the disassembly station is located or the height where the forward leak detection station is located, thus, when the lifting component 122 raises the first distance and the second distance respectively, the lifting component 122 is configured to be engaged with the preset limiting component respectively, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the raising of the lifting component 122 to the disassembly station or the leak detection station.

[0112] Obviously, the passage limiting mechanism 5 is further configured to limit the lifting component 122 from rising the first distance or the second distance by other embodiments, which is not described here in this embodiment.

[0113] According to some embodiments, referring to [Fig. 1], the nozzle insertion and extraction device 100 further comprises: a leak detection assembly 6, the negative pressure assembly B1 comprising several columns of used nozzles B1, the leak detection assembly 6 is configured to detect a possible existence of leakage in one of the columns of used nozzles B1, and the nozzle insertion-extraction mechanism 3 is configured to remove the column of used nozzles B1 where the leak exists.

[0114] Because the leak detection assembly 6 is configured to detect a column of the used nozzles B1 where the leaking nozzle exists, therefore, the nozzle insertion-extraction mechanism 3 is configured to remove only the column of the used nozzles B1 where the leaking nozzle exists, the column of the used nozzles B1 where the leaking nozzle does not exist does not need to be removed, i.e., it is not necessary to remove all the used nozzles B1, therefore, the cost of the nozzle can be reduced, thus avoiding the waste of the nozzle.

[0115] According to some embodiments, referring to [Fig.6], the leak detection assembly 6 comprises a first seat 61, a leak drive component 62, a second mounting component 63 and a plurality of attachment assemblies 64, the plurality of attachment assemblies 64 are all disposed on the second mounting component 63 and are in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of columns of the used nozzles B1, each of the attachment assemblies 64 corresponds to a convergence pipe of each column of the used nozzles B1, the second mounting component 63 is slidably disposed on the first seat 61, the leakage driving component 62 is configured to drive the second mounting component 63 to move the plurality of attachment assemblies 64 in a direction close to the negative pressure assembly A1, so that the attachment assembly 64 is attached to the corresponding convergence pipe to detect a possible leak existence in one of the columns of the used nozzles B1. Thus, the objective of detecting a possible leak existence in one of the columns of the used nozzles B1 can be achieved.

[0116] By having all the attachment assemblies 64 disposed on the second mounting component 63, when the leak detection component 62 drives the second mounting component 63 to slide, the multiple attachment assemblies 64 are configured to be simultaneously attached to the corresponding convergence pipe, thereby improving the attachment efficiency.

[0117] Obviously, the leak detection assembly 6 is further configured to be other possible structures, and in order to improve the use experience, the leak detection assembly 6 is further configured to send the detection result to a display screen of the nozzle insertion and extraction device 100, or, the leak detection assembly 6 is configured to broadcast by voice, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0118] Wherein, the above-mentioned leak detection component 62 is configured to be an air cylinder, an electric cylinder or others, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0120] After the new nozzle B2 is inserted into the negative pressure assembly Al, the negative pressure assembly Al is configured to be reassembled on the retaining plate A2 through the coordination of the disassembly mechanism 2 and the conveying positioning mechanism 1, the specific process is opposite to the process of detaching the negative pressure assembly Al from the retaining plate A2, it can be refer to the description in the above-mentioned embodiment for the specific process of detaching the negative pressure assembly A1 from the retaining tray A2, which will not be repeated in this embodiment.

[0121] Because the three-axis motion module 31 is configured to be adjusted to the multi-freedom position, the three-axis motion module 31 is configured to perform omnidirectional fixed point coverage on the negative pressure assembly Al, therefore, the three-axis motion module 31 is configured to drive the insertion-extraction tool 32 to move to any position of the negative pressure assembly Al, thus, the purpose of inserting and extracting any nozzle can be achieved.

[0122] In particular, the above-mentioned three-axis motion module 31 is configured to comprise an X-axis, a Y-axis and a Z-axis, each of the axes is configured to be implemented through a screw structure or others, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0123] According to certain embodiments, with reference to [Fig. 8] to [Fig. 11] and [Fig. 13] to [Fig.16], the insertion-extraction tool 32 comprises: a base 321, an extraction head 322 and an insertion head 323, wherein, the base 321 is arranged on a three-axis motion module 31, the extraction head 322 is arranged on the base 321, the three-axis motion module 31 is configured to drive the extraction head 322 to move toward the negative pressure assembly A1, the extraction head 322 is configured to remove the used nozzle B1 from the negative pressure assembly A1, so that the negative pressure assembly A1 is exposed to an insertion-extraction port A1 1, the insertion head 323 is arranged on the base 321, the insertion head 323 is configured to place the new nozzle B2, the three-axis motion module 31 is further configured to drive the insertion head 323 to move to the negative pressure assembly Al to insert the new nozzle B2 into the insertion-extraction port Ail. .

[0124] Because the extraction head 322 and the insertion head 323 are both arranged on the base 321, i.e., the extraction head 322 and the insertion head 323 are both integrated to be arranged on the base 321, an insertion-extraction tool 32 having the function of removing the used nozzle B1 and inserting the new nozzle B2 is formed, therefore, when replacing the nozzle, the same insertion-extraction tool 32 can be driven using the same three-axis motion module 31, there is no need to design a special tool for removing the used nozzle B1 and a tool for inserting the new nozzle B2 respectively, and there is no need to set two different drives to drive the two tools to move respectively, i.e., two tools can be replaced by a single insertion-extraction tool 32, thus reducing the cost. On the other hand, this allows to avoid the occurrence of mutual interference between the two different drives in the process of driving the two tools to move respectively. On the other hand, it also avoids or reduces the occurrence of mutual interference between the nozzle extraction tool and the nozzle insertion tool and the worn nozzle B1 on the negative pressure assembly during movement, caused by the limited space for movement.

[0128] Because the feeding technology of the vibrating plate 71 is mature and can operate continuously, the feeding efficiency of the nozzle feeding mechanism 7 can be increased.

[0129] By providing the nozzle blocking component 73 between the discharge outlet of the vibrating plate and the nozzle conveying assembly 72, the nozzle blocking component 73 is configured to allow the new nozzle B2 to move through the discharge outlet of the vibrating plate to the nozzle conveying assembly 72 when the nozzle conveying assembly 72 is to be supplied with a new nozzle, thereby facilitating the nozzle conveying assembly 72 to convey the new nozzle B2 to the nozzle insertion-extraction mechanism 3, and when the conveying assembly nozzle 72 is not to be supplied with new nozzle B2, the nozzle blocking component 73 is configured to block the new nozzle B2 at the discharge outlet of the vibrating plate, thereby preventing the occurrence of the circumstance that the new nozzle B2 continuously flows to the nozzle conveying assembly 72, such circumstance causing the nozzle conveying assembly 72 not to be able to convey the nozzle in time.

[0130] Wherein the aforementioned nozzle transport assembly 72 is configured to be a transport robot arm, a gripper or the like, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0138] The negative pressure assembly is equipment used in a forming device for providing negative pressure to the inner cavity of the battery, so as to perform a forming operation on the battery. In order to improve the forming efficiency, the number of negative pressure assemblies is generally defined as a plural number, and the plurality of negative pressure assemblies are arranged in rows and columns on the tray, the plurality of negative pressure assemblies arranged in rows and columns are in one-to-one correspondence with the batteries arranged in rows and columns, the nozzle of each of the negative pressure assemblies is configured to be attached to a liquid injection port of the corresponding battery, so that the nozzle is configured to be communicated with the inner cavity of the corresponding battery through the liquid injection port,thereby connecting the inner cavity of the corresponding battery through the nozzle, thereby providing negative pressure to the inner cavity of the corresponding battery and achieving the purpose of performing the forming operation on multiple batteries simultaneously, thereby improving the forming efficiency.

[0139] Due to the nozzle being a consumable, the air leakage circumstance will inevitably occur at the end of long-term use, when the existence of air leakage circumstance is detected in the several nozzles of the negative pressure assembly on the tray, in the relevant technologies, generally, the nozzle extraction tool moves to the negative pressure assembly to remove all the nozzles of the negative pressure assembly on the whole tray at one time, then, the negative pressure assembly is taken out, and then, the nozzle insertion tool is moved to the negative pressure assembly to replace the new nozzles for all the negative pressure assemblies, however, in the process of the actual operation, due to the space being limited for example, when moving, mutual interference between the nozzle extraction tool and the nozzle insertion tool nozzle or mutual interference between nozzle extraction tool and nozzle insertion tool and nozzles will be unavoidable respectively.

[0140] The insertion-extraction tool 32, provided in the embodiment of the present application, is configured to avoid the occurrence of the mutual interference between the nozzle extraction tool and the nozzle insertion tool, or to avoid the occurrence of the mutual interference between the nozzle extraction tool and the nozzle insertion tool and the nozzles respectively.

[0141] Referring to [Fig.9], [Fig.10] and [Fig.11], the insertion-extraction tool 32 comprises: a base 321, an extraction head 322 and an insertion head 323, wherein, referring to [Fig.12], [Fig.13] and [Fig.14], the base 321 is configured to be disposed on a movement module 300, the extraction head 322 is disposed on the base 321, the movement module 300 is configured to drive the extraction head 322 to move toward the negative pressure assembly A1, the extraction head 322 is configured to remove the used nozzle B1 from the negative pressure assembly A1, so that the negative pressure assembly A1 is exposed to an insertion-extraction port A1, the insertion head 323 is disposed on the base 321, the insertion head 323 is configured to place a new nozzle B2, the movement module 300 is further configured to drive the insertion head 323 to move toward the negative pressure assembly A1 to insert the new nozzle B2 into the insertion-extraction port A1.

[0142] According to this embodiment, when the worn nozzle B1 on the negative pressure assembly A1 is to be replaced with the new base B2 using the insertion-extraction tool 32, firstly, the base 321 is configured to be arranged on a three-axis movement module 31, then, the three-axis movement module 31 is configured to drive the base 321 to move and thus drive the extraction head 322 arranged on the base 321 to move toward the negative pressure assembly A1, once the extraction head 322 arrives at the negative pressure assembly A1, the extraction head 322 is configured to remove the worn nozzle B1 on the negative pressure assembly A1, so that the negative pressure assembly A1 is exposed to the insertion-extraction port A1.

[0143] Once the insertion-extraction port A1 1 is exposed to the negative pressure assembly A1, the movement module 300 is configured to drive the base 321 to move continuously and thus drive the insertion head 323 disposed on the base 321 to move toward the negative pressure assembly A1, because the new nozzle B2 is disposed on the insertion head 323, therefore, once the insertion head 323 has moved to the negative pressure assembly A1, the new nozzle B2 is configured to be inserted into the insertion-extraction port A1, thus, the objective of replacing the worn nozzle B1 on the negative pressure assembly Al with the new nozzle B2 is achieved.

[0144] Because the extraction head 322 and the insertion head 323 are both arranged on the base 321, i.e., the extraction head 322 and the insertion head 323 are both integrated to be arranged on the base 321, an insertion-extraction tool 32 having the function of removing the worn nozzle B1 and inserting the new nozzle B2 is formed, therefore, when replacing the nozzle, the same insertion-extraction tool 32 can be driven using the same movement module 300, there is no need to design a special tool for removing the worn nozzle B1 and a tool for inserting the new nozzle B2 respectively, and there is no need to set two different drives for driving the two tools to move respectively, i.e., two tools can be replaced by a single insertion-extraction tool 32, thus reducing the cost.On the other hand, this can prevent the occurrence of mutual interference between the two different drives in the process of driving the two tools to move respectively. On the other hand, this can also prevent or reduce the occurrence of mutual interference between the nozzle extraction tool and the nozzle insertion tool and the worn nozzle B1 on the negative pressure assembly during movement, caused by the limited space for movement.Furthermore, it will be understood that after the three-axis motion module 31a drives the extraction head 322 to remove the worn nozzle B1 on the negative pressure assembly A1, the three-axis motion module 31 drives the insertion head 323 to continuously move a relatively short distance to drive the insertion head 323 to the negative pressure assembly A1, therefore, the moving time can be saved and the efficiency of replacing the worn nozzle B1 on the negative pressure assembly with the new nozzle B2 is improved.

[0145] Based on the above description, when the insertion-extraction tool 32 is applied in the scenario of replacing the nozzle for the negative pressure assembly, the above-mentioned worn nozzle B1 is configured to be understood as the worn nozzle to be replaced on the negative pressure assembly, the above-mentioned new nozzle B2 is configured to be understood as the new nozzle, obviously, when replacing the nozzle for the negative pressure assembly using the insertion-extraction tool 32, the same motion module 300 can be used to drive the same insertion-extraction tool 32, there is no need to design a special nozzle extraction tool for removing the worn nozzle and a nozzle insertion tool for inserting the new nozzle respectively, therefore, on the one hand, the structure of the insertion-extraction tool 32 is simplified and the cost is reduced, on the other hand,the occurrence of mutual interference between the two drives, different is avoided in the process of driving the extraction tool and the insertion tool to move respectively, moreover, the occurrence of mutual interference between the nozzle extraction tool and the nozzle insertion tool and the worn nozzle B1 on the negative pressure assembly during moving can be avoided or reduced, which is caused by limited space for moving. In addition, it can improve the efficiency of replacing the worn nozzle on the negative pressure assembly with the new nozzle.

[0146] Obviously, the scenario where the above-mentioned insertion-extraction tool 32 is applied to replace the nozzle on the negative pressure assembly is only one possible scenario of the insertion-extraction tool 32 provided by the embodiment, obviously, the insertion-extraction tool 32 is configured to be applied to other possible scenarios as well, when the insertion-extraction tool 32 is applied to other possible scenarios, the above-mentioned negative pressure assembly A1, the worn nozzle B1 and the new nozzle B2 are configured to be included in other possible ways as well, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0147] In addition, the above-mentioned worn nozzle and the new nozzle may also be understood in their broader senses, in particular, the nozzle to be replaced may be understood as the worn nozzle, and the nozzle used to replace the worn nozzle may be understood as the new nozzle.

[0148] It should be noted that several embodiments are provided for the extraction head 32 intended to remove the used nozzle B1 from the negative pressure assembly A1, according to one of the possible embodiments, referring to [Fig. 10], the extraction head 322 comprises: a second seat 3221 and a stop component 322, wherein, the second seat 3222 is disposed on the base 321, the second seat 3222 is provided with a cavity 32211 allowing the used nozzle B1 to enter therein, the stop component 3222 is disposed on the second seat 3221, the stop component 3222 is configured to allow the used nozzle B1 to be inserted into the cavity 32211 in an insertion direction F3 (the negative direction of the Z axis in [Fig. 10]) and limit the worn nozzle B1 to exit the cavity 32211 in one direction (the positive direction of the Z axis in [Fig.10]) opposite to the insertion direction F3, so that the used nozzle B1 is removed from the negative pressure assembly Al. .

[0159] When the extraction head 322 moves to any one of the plurality of negative pressure assemblies Al, by arranging the extraction head 322 on one side of any one of the plurality of negative pressure assemblies Al to avoid the negative pressure assembly Al, thereby avoiding the occurrence of mutual interference between the extraction head 322 and the negative pressure assembly Al.

[0160] In addition, by arranging the extraction head 322 and the insertion head 323 at the interval in the first direction F1, when the worn nozzle B1 of any one negative pressure assembly A1 of the plurality of negative pressure assemblies A1 is to be replaced with the new nozzle B2, or the worn nozzle B1 of any one column of the negative pressure assemblies A1 arranged in the first direction F1 is to be replaced with the new nozzle B2, or the worn nozzle B1 of any one row of the negative pressure assemblies A1 arranged in the second direction F2 is to be replaced with the new nozzle B2, the replacement purpose can be achieved by the mutual coordination between the extraction head 322 and the insertion head 323, thus, the purpose of replacing the worn nozzle of any one negative pressure assembly A1 of the plurality of negative pressure assemblies with the new nozzle can be achieved,or the purpose of replacing the worn nozzle of any one column of the negative pressure assemblies arranged in the first direction with the new nozzle can be achieved, or the purpose of replacing the worn nozzle of any one row of the negative pressure assemblies arranged in the second direction with the new nozzle can be achieved, compared with the method of the relevant technology in which all the worn nozzles of the negative pressure assemblies on the tray assembly only can be replaced with the new nozzles at one time, the insertion-extraction tool 32 provided by this embodiment can flexibly choose the number of negative pressure assemblies that need to replace the old nozzles according to needs, therefore, the waste of consumables due to the replacement of the worn nozzles with the new nozzles at one time can be avoided.

[0161] It should be noted that the above description, in which when the extraction head 322 moves toward any one of the several negative pressure assemblies Al, the insertion head 323 is disposed between two adjacent negative pressure assemblies Al, can be understood in one possible way: when the extraction head 322 moves toward any one of the several negative pressure assemblies Al, the insertion head 323 is disposed on a mirror surface of two negative pressure assemblies Al.

[0162] Obviously, when the extraction head 322 moves toward any one of the several negative pressure assemblies Al, the insertion head 323 is also configured not to be disposed on the mirror surface of two negative pressure assemblies Al, as long as no interference occurs. will occur between the insertion head 323 and the negative pressure assembly A1, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0163] Thus, the description in which the extraction head 322 mentioned above is disposed between two adjacent negative pressure assemblies Al and the insertion head 323 is disposed between two adjacent negative pressure assemblies Al can be understood in the same way, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0164] When the negative pressure assembly Al is plural in number and the plural negative pressure assemblies Al are arranged in an array at the interval in the first direction F1 and the second direction F2, in order to improve the efficiency of replacing the worn nozzle B1 of any column of the negative pressure assemblies Al arranged in the first direction F1 with the new nozzles B2, according to some embodiments, referring to [Fig. 13] and [Fig.15], the extraction head 322 and the insertion head 323 are both plural in number, the plural extraction heads 322 and the plural insertion heads 323 are all arranged in the first direction F1, a distance between two adjacent extraction heads 322 is equal to a distance between two adjacent negative pressure assemblies A1 arranged along the first distance F1, and a distance between two adjacent insertion heads 323 is equal to a distance between two adjacent negative pressure assemblies A1 arranged along the first distance F1.

[0165] Because the distance between the two adjacent extraction heads 322 is equal to the distance between the two adjacent negative pressure assemblies Al arranged in the first distance Fl, when one extraction head 322 of the two adjacent extraction heads 322 arrives at one negative pressure assembly Al of the two adjacent negative pressure assemblies Al, the other extraction head 322 is configured to arrive at the other negative pressure assembly Al accurately, therefore, the several extraction heads 322 are configured to remove the used nozzles B1 on each column of the negative pressure assemblies Al arranged in the first direction Fl at the same time.

[0166] Similarly, because the distance between the two adjacent insertion heads 323 is equal to the distance between the two adjacent negative pressure assemblies Al arranged in the first distance Fl, the plurality of insertion heads 32 are configured to insert the new nozzles B2 into each column of the negative pressure assemblies Al arranged in the first direction Fl at the same time.

[0167] Because the plurality of extraction heads 322 are configured to remove the used nozzles B1 on each column of the negative pressure assemblies Al arranged in the first direction Fl at the same time and the plurality of insertion heads 32 are configured to insert the new nozzles B2 into each column of the negative pressure assemblies Al arranged in the first direction Fl respectively at the same time, the efficiency of replacing the worn nozzle B1 on each column of the negative pressure assemblies Al arranged in the first direction Fl with the new nozzle B2 can be improved.

[0168] When the extraction head 322 and the insertion head 323 are both plural in number, the plurality of extraction heads 322 and the plurality of insertion heads 323 are all arranged in the first direction F1, referring to [Fig. 16], an extraction head group 3220 is formed by the plurality of extraction heads 322, an insertion head group 3230 is formed by the plurality of insertion heads 323, and the extraction head group 3220 and the insertion head group 3230 are sequentially arranged in the first direction F1, or referring to [Fig. 15], at least one extraction head 322 of the plurality of extraction heads 322 is arranged between two adjacent insertion heads 323.

[0169] When the extraction head group 3220 and the insertion head group 3230 are sequentially arranged in the first direction F1, the several extraction heads 322 are configured to be concentrated and placed together, the several insertion heads 323 are configured to be concentrated and placed together, in this way, on the one hand, the arrangement of the extraction head 322 and the insertion head 323 is relatively organized, thus facilitating the manufacturing process, on the other hand, the extraction head 322 and the insertion head 323 are configured to be spaced further apart, thus avoiding or reducing the mutual interference between the used nozzle B1 removed by the extraction head 322 and the new nozzle B2 placed on the insertion head 323.

[0170] When at least one extraction head 322 of the plurality of extraction heads 322 is disposed between the two adjacent extraction heads 323, on the one hand, the space between the two adjacent extraction heads 322 can be well utilized by the insertion head, so that the structure of the entire insertion-extraction tool 32 is configured to be relatively compact.On the other hand, after the worn nozzle B1 on the negative pressure assembly Al is removed by the extraction head 322, the insertion head 323 is made to arrive at the negative pressure assembly Al as long as the movement module 300 drives the base 321 to move a certain distance from the gap between the extraction head 322 and the insertion head 323 in the first direction F1, the moving distance is relatively short, therefore, the efficiency of replacing the worn nozzle B1 on the negative pressure assembly Al with the new nozzle B2 can be further improved.

[0171] Obviously, the plurality of extraction heads 322 and the plurality of insertion heads 323 are further configured to be arranged in the first direction F1 in other possible ways, for example, a portion of the extraction heads 322 of the plurality of extraction heads 322 are configured to be arranged in the first direction F1. F1, and the remaining portion of the extraction heads 322 and the plurality of insertion heads 323 are arranged in the first direction F1 in an interlaced manner, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0172] According to some embodiments, referring to [Fig.13] and [Fig.15], the number of several extraction heads 322 is equal to the number of negative pressure assemblies Al arranged in the first direction F1 in each column, and / or, the number of the several insertion heads 323 is equal to the number of negative pressure assemblies Al arranged in the first direction of each column.

[0173] By setting the number of the plurality of extraction heads 322 to be equal to the number of negative pressure assemblies Al arranged in the first direction Fl of each column, the worn nozzles B2 on the negative pressure assembly Al arranged in the first direction Fl of each column are configured to be removed by the plurality of insertion heads 322 at one time, therefore, the efficiency of extracting the worn nozzles B1 on the negative pressure assembly Al can be improved.

[0174] By setting the number of the plurality of extraction heads 323 to be equal to the number of negative pressure assemblies Al arranged in the first direction F1 of each column, the new nozzles B2 are configured to be inserted into the negative pressure assemblies Al respectively by the plurality of insertion heads 322 at one time, therefore, the efficiency of inserting the new nozzles B2 into the negative pressure assembly Al can be improved.

[0175] In order to store the used nozzle B1 removed by the extraction head 322 temporarily, according to some embodiments, referring to [Fig.9] and [Fig.11], the insertion-extraction tool 32 further comprises a temporary storage assembly 324, the temporary storage assembly 324 is configured to temporarily store the used nozzle B1 removed by the extraction head 322 in the temporary storage assembly 324.

[0176] By providing the temporary storage assembly 324, the used nozzle B1 removed by the extraction head 322 is configured to be temporarily stored in the temporary storage assembly 324, in this way, on the one hand, the extraction head 322 can be released to perform the extraction work of the used nozzle B1 continuously, on the other hand, the occurrence of the circumstance that the used nozzle B1 is placed on the extraction head 322 for a long time is avoided, such circumstance causing the falling risking damage to other components or damage to the used nozzle B1 itself.

[0177] According to some embodiments, referring to [Fig. 10], the base 321 is provided with a through hole 3211 penetrating the base 321, at least a portion of the structure of the temporary storage assembly 324 is disposed vertically below the hole through hole 3211, the through hole 3211 is configured to allow the used nozzle B1 removed by the extraction head 322 to fall into the temporary storage assembly 324 through the through hole 3211.

[0178] Because at least a part of the structure of the temporary storage assembly 324 is vertically arranged under the through hole 3211, therefore, when the used nozzle B1 is removed by the extraction head 322 under the action of gravity, the used nozzle B1 is configured to automatically pass through the through hole 3211 and fall into the temporary storage assembly 324 to be temporarily stored, there is no need to design a special structure for transporting the used nozzle B1 to the temporary storage assembly 324 for temporary storage, therefore, the structure of the insertion-extraction tool 32 can be simplified.

[0179] In addition, because the waste nozzle B1 removed by the extraction head 322 is configured to fall into the temporary storage assembly 324 through the through hole 3211, the through hole 3211 is configured to play a role in guiding the waste nozzle B1 in the process of the waste nozzle B1 falling into the temporary storage assembly 324, thereby preventing the occurrence of the circumstance that the waste nozzle B1 deviates in the process of falling into the temporary storage assembly 324, such circumstance causing failure of falling into the temporary storage assembly 324.

[0180] Wherein, the shape of the above-mentioned through hole 3211 is configured to be circular, square or others, and the shape of the through hole 3211 is not limited in this embodiment.

[0181] Several embodiments are provided for the temporary storage assembly 324 mentioned above, in one of the possible embodiments, referring to [Fig.11], the temporary storage assembly 324 comprises: a drive component 3241 and a cache component 3242, wherein, the drive component 3241 is disposed on the base 321, the cache component 3242 is connected to the drive component 3241, the drive component 3241 is configured to drive the cache component 3242 to move vertically to the position under the through hole 3211 or to move vertically away from the position under the through hole 3211, to open or protect the through hole 3211.

[0182] Because the driving component 3241 is arranged on the base 321 and the hiding component 3242 is connected to the driving component 3241, when the used nozzle B1 is to be temporarily stored, the driving component 3241 is configured to drive the hiding component 3242 to move vertically under the through hole 3211, the through hole 3211 is hidden by the hiding component 3242, in this way, in the process of the used nozzle B1 falling through the hole through 3211, the cache component 3242 is configured to prevent the used nozzle B1 from continuing to fall, the used nozzle B1 is held on the cache component 3242, thus, the purpose of temporarily storing the used nozzle B1 can be achieved.

[0183] When the used nozzle B1 is to continue to fall, the driving component 3241 is configured to drive the cover component 3242 to move until the cover component 3242 moves vertically away from the position under the through hole 3211, the through hole 3211 is opened, in this way, the used nozzle B1 can pass through the through hole 3211 to continue to fall after the through hole 3211 is opened.

[0184] It can be seen that when the temporary storage assembly 324 comprises the drive component 3241 and the cache component 3242, the cache component 3242 is driven by the drive component 3241 to move vertically under the through hole 3211 or to move vertically away from the position under the through hole 3211, thereby freely switching between the two modes of temporarily storing the used nozzle B1 or stopping the temporary storage of the used nozzle B1, which is very flexible.

[0185] Wherein, the above-mentioned drive component 3241 is configured to be an air cylinder, an electric cylinder or others, which is not limited in this embodiment. The above-mentioned cache component 3242 is configured to be a cache plate or other possible structures, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0186] Obviously, the temporary storage assembly 324 is further configured to be implemented by other possible modes, for example, in another possible implementation, the temporary storage assembly 324 comprises a temporary storage box, and the temporary storage box is disposed vertically below the through hole 3211.

[0187] Because the temporary storage box is vertically arranged under the through hole 3211, therefore, the used nozzle B1 continuing to fall through the through hole 3211 can enter the temporary storage box, thus the purpose of temporarily storing the used nozzle B1 in the temporary storage box can be achieved.

[0188] Because the structure of the temporary storage box is simple, the cost of the temporary storage assembly 324 can be reduced.

[0189] Wherein, the shape of the temporary storage box is configured to be cylindrical, cuboid or other possible shapes, and the shape of the temporary storage box is not limited in this embodiment.

[0190] According to this embodiment, because the insert-extract tool 32 can reduce the cost, the insert-extract tool 32 can avoid the occurrence of the mutual interference between two different drives in the process of driving the two tools to move respectively, the insertion-extraction tool 32 can avoid or reduce the occurrence of the mutual interference between the two tools and the worn nozzle B1 on the negative pressure assembly Al in the process of moving, and at the same time, the insertion-extraction tool 32 can improve the efficiency of replacing the worn nozzle B1 on the negative pressure assembly Al with the new nozzle B2.

[0191] The above-mentioned motion module 300 is configured to be a three-axis XYZ module, a robotic arm or others, and the motion module 300 is not limited in this embodiment.
