DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The preferred examples of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred examples described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, the high-precision battery labeling structure includes an unwinding component 100, a labeling component 200, a track component 300 and an attachment receiving platform component 400.

[0035] A pair of unwinding assemblies 100 and a pair of labeling assemblies 200 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the track assembly 300 , and a plurality of attachment and receiving assemblies 400 are arranged on the track assembly 300 .

[0036] The unwinding component 100 conveys the roll film with the label to the labeling component 200. The labeling component 200 includes a suction rod 201 and a guide rail 202. The suction rod 201 is a hollow structure with a suction hole 211 on the head and a vacuum tube 221 on the tail. The suction rod 201 can adsorb the label on the head of the suction rod 201 through the negative pressure formed by the vacuum tube 211, and is driven by a motor to move back and forth on the guide rail 202 and driven to rotate by a cylinder. The labeling component 200 as a whole is driven by an electric cylinder to move up and down and left and right, so that the suction rod 211 can move in six directions of up and down, left and right, front and back, and can also rotate itself, thereby realizing high-precision labeling of batteries and meeting various working conditions.

[0037] The track assembly 300 includes a double V-shaped circular track 301 , two image recognition sensor cameras 302 and two light sources 303 . The attachment receiving platform assembly 400 includes a base 401 and a mounting block 402 . The battery is arranged in the mounting block 402 .

[0038] The two image recognition sensor cameras 302 are used to identify the placement angles of the labels on the roll film of the labeling components 200 on both sides, so as to confirm how much the suction rod 201 needs to rotate to properly attach the adsorbed label to the battery, and the distance it needs to move forward and backward, up and down, and left and right. The two light sources 303 are used to provide lighting for the two image recognition sensor cameras 302, thereby improving the contrast color difference between the label and the surroundings, so that the image recognition sensor camera 302 can better identify the outline of the label and improve the labeling accuracy.

[0039] Two synchronous wheels 304 driven by a synchronous belt 305 are arranged in the circle of the double V-shaped circular track 301, and each base 401 attached to the receiving platform assembly 400 is locked on the synchronous belt 305 by screws and fixedly connected to the synchronous belt 305. Four roller bearings 403 are arranged below the base 401. When the synchronous belt 305 drives the base 401 to slide in a circular manner, the four roller bearings 403 are engaged and slide on the double V-shaped circular track 301, thereby reducing friction, improving the stability of the overall device, and thus improving the labeling accuracy and efficiency.

[0040] The mounting block 402 includes an upper pressing plate 412 and a lower fixing plate 422. A rotating shaft 411 is also provided in the middle of the base 401. Two circles of angular contact bearings 441 are sleeved on the rotating shaft 411. The two angular contact bearings 441 are both located in the lower fixing plate 422, thereby realizing a rotational connection between the mounting block 402 and the base 401, so that when the base 401 slides on the double V-shaped annular track 301, the direction of the battery in the mounting block 402 can remain unchanged. Therefore, when the base 401 slides from one labeling station to the next symmetrical labeling station, since the direction of the battery has not changed, the other side of the battery can be labeled.

[0041] Furthermore, the upper pressing plate 412 can be lifted up and down, and a first groove 432 is provided on the top surface of the lower fixing plate 422, and the upper pressing plate 412 presses the battery into the first groove 432. The track assembly also includes a lifting mechanism 306 driven by a cylinder to lift up and down, and a shifting block 316 is provided on the lifting mechanism 306, which can drive the upper pressing plate 412 to lift up and down.

[0042] This solution prevents the upper pressing plate 412 from rising and opening except when placing batteries, thereby improving labeling accuracy.

[0043] After the shift block 316 drives the upper pressing plate 412 to rise, the battery can be placed into the first groove 432 manually or by a robot, and the shift block 316 then drives the upper pressing plate 412 to descend to achieve compression. At the same time, a photoelectric sensor can be used to detect whether the battery is compressed in place.

[0044] A positioning block 421 is also provided on the base 401, and a second groove 431 is provided on the positioning block 421. A swing shaft 311 driven to rotate by a cylinder is provided below each side of the annular track 301, and a positioning ring mounting block 321 is sleeved on the swing shaft 311. The positioning ring mounting block 321 is located at the labeling station, and a bolt 331 matching the second groove 431 is provided on the swing shaft 311. When the attachment receiving platform assembly 400 slides to the labeling station, the swing shaft 311 rotates to drive the positioning ring mounting block 321 to rise, so that the bolt 331 is embedded in the second groove 431, which plays a role of limiting and improves the stability of the overall device. After the labeling is completed, the swing shaft 311 rotates again to make the positioning ring mounting block 321 drive the bolt 331 to descend, and the attachment receiving platform assembly 400 continues to slide. Further, a positioning ring mounting block 321 can also be provided at the station where the battery is placed, which also plays a role of limiting to prevent the attachment receiving platform assembly 400 from sliding and affecting the operation.

[0045] At the same time, the suction rod 201, the label, the first groove 432 and the placed batteries are arranged in three rows side by side. After many experiments, it is shown that if more than three batteries are labeled at the same time, the incoming position deviation of the label on the roll film is likely to be too large, which in turn affects normal operation. When there are three batteries, the efficiency is best.

[0046] In summary, the working principle of the high-precision battery labeling structure of the present invention is roughly as follows:

[0047] When each attached receiving stage assembly 400 slides to the loading station, it stops sliding, and the positioning ring mounting block 321 drives the bolt 331 to rise and snap into the second groove 431, so as to keep the attached first stage assembly 400 stationary;

[0048] At this time, the shift block 316 drives the upper pressing plate 412 to rise, and the three batteries are placed into the first groove 432 by a robot or manually. After completion, the shift block 316 drives the upper pressing plate 412 to descend to press the batteries. The photoelectric sensor detects whether the batteries are pressed in place. After they are in place, the bolts 331 are withdrawn.

[0049] The attachment receiving platform assembly 400 starts to slide and stops when it slides to the labeling station. Another positioning ring mounting block 321 drives another bolt 331 to rise and snap into the second groove 431 to keep the attachment receiving platform assembly 400 stationary.

[0050] At this time, the unwinding assembly 100 conveys the roll film with the label to the suction rod 201, and the suction rod 201 moves to the label, and forms a negative pressure through the vacuum tube 221 to absorb the label, and then the suction rod 201 moves to the attachment receiving stage assembly 400, and attaches the label to one side of the battery through up and down, left and right, front and back, and rotational movements, and rotates appropriately according to the signal sent by the image recognition sensor camera 302;

[0051] Then the bolt 331 is withdrawn, and the attachment receiving platform assembly 400 continues to slide, and when it slides to the labeling station on the other side, the above labeling action is repeated to complete double-sided labeling;

[0052] The high-precision battery labeling structure of the present invention adopts the operation mode of the circular track 301 to realize one-time double-sided labeling of the battery. The rotatable attachment receiving platform component 400 can always keep the direction of the battery unchanged when it slides on the circular track 301, so as to label on both sides.

[0053] At the same time, the positioning ring mounting block 321 is used for limiting, and the shifting block 316 is used to drive the upper pressing plate 412 to rise and fall to prevent the upper pressing plate 412 from accidentally rising and falling in other working conditions;

[0054] A light source 303 is used to improve the recognition effect of the image recognition sensor camera 302;

[0055] The double V-track design and four roller bearings 403 enable the base 401 of the attached platform assembly 400 to be embedded and slide on the circular track 301, which improves the labeling accuracy and the stability of the overall device. Finally, three batteries are controlled to be labeled at the same time, maximizing the labeling efficiency.

[0056] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred example of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
