Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of detection devices, and in particular to a formation fixture detection mechanism and a formation fixture detection system. Background Art

[0002] The battery cell is formed by placing the battery cell in the battery cell placement position of the formation fixture (i.e. the groove of the business card paper). The formation fixture needs to squeeze the battery cell along the preset direction. For the formation fixture, it is necessary to conduct a temperature and pressure inspection to confirm whether the temperature of the formation fixture meets the requirements during operation, and whether the working pressure of the formation fixture meets the requirements.

[0003] The existing method is manual inspection, that is, a person holds a pressure sensor and a temperature sensor to detect the pressure or temperature value.

[0004] The existing method requires manual labor to hold the corresponding sensor to measure the corresponding value according to the time required for the formation, and multiple sets of values ​​need to be measured. Therefore, the efficiency of manual inspection is low and the labor intensity is high. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide a formation fixture detection mechanism, which can improve the problem of low efficiency that occurs during manual inspection of the formation fixture.

[0006] Another object of the present application is to provide a formation fixture detection system, which includes the above-mentioned formation fixture detection mechanism and has all the characteristics of the formation fixture detection mechanism.

[0007] The embodiment of the present application is implemented as follows:

[0008] The embodiment of the present application provides a formation fixture detection mechanism, comprising:

[0009] Guides;

[0010] Multiple first fixtures;

[0011] multiple second fixtures;

[0012] When detecting the temperature, the plurality of first jigs are mounted on the guide member and slidably cooperate with the guide member, each first jig is used to be inserted into a name card paper groove of the formation fixture, and a temperature sensor is provided on the first jig;

[0013] When detecting pressure, the plurality of second jigs are mounted on the guide member and slidably cooperate with the guide member, each second jig is used to be inserted into a business card paper groove of the formation fixture, and at least one of the second jigs is provided with a pressure sensor.

[0014] By using the formation fixture detection mechanism of the present application, the temperature in multiple business card paper grooves can be detected at one time when the formation fixture is working, and the detection is more efficient; when detecting pressure, it is only necessary to replace the first fixture with the second fixture, and then the corresponding amount of pressure data can be detected as required. There is no need for the operator to hold the temperature sensor or pressure sensor to detect the data, which improves the overall detection efficiency.

[0015] In addition, the formation fixture detection mechanism provided in the embodiments of the present application may also have the following additional technical features:

[0016] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the guide member is a guide post, and the guide post is passed through the fixture.

[0017] The guide column can not only carry the jig, but also provide guidance for the movement of the jig. When it cooperates with the jig, it is also convenient to replace the jig.

[0018] In an optional embodiment of the present application, each jig includes a jig body and two hanging platforms, the two hanging platforms are respectively connected to the two ends of the jig body, and the formation fixture detection mechanism includes two parallel guide pillars, and each hanging platform can be slidably mounted on the corresponding guide pillar.

[0019] The fixtures are designed with corresponding hanging platforms. On the one hand, they can be easily passed through by guide columns. On the other hand, when the fixture is replaced, there is no need to replace other types of guide parts. One fixture can be directly removed and then another fixture can be strung on, which saves the time of replacing the fixture and is beneficial to improving the overall detection efficiency.

[0020] In an optional embodiment of the present application, one or two temperature sensors are provided on the fixture body of the first fixture.

[0021] Different numbers of temperature sensors can be set according to the capacity of the business card paper grooves. For example, if only one battery cell is placed in each business card paper groove of the formation fixture to be tested, only the first fixture with one temperature sensor needs to be selected; if two batteries are placed in each business card paper groove of the formation fixture to be tested, the first fixture with two temperature sensors needs to be selected. This ensures that the number of temperature detection data meets the requirements.

[0022] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the formation fixture detection mechanism further includes a flexible linkage member, and a plurality of fixtures are connected by the flexible linkage member.

[0023] The flexible linkage can facilitate the linkage of multiple fixtures when in use, so as to avoid the fixture getting stuck on the guide column during inspection and affecting the inspection process.

[0024] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the flexible linkage member is a linkage chain, the hanging platform is provided with a chain connecting block, and the chain connecting block is detachably connected to the linkage chain.

[0025] Since the linkage chain has its own chain links, the fixtures can be arranged at the required intervals, which is easy to use.

[0026] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the formation fixture detection mechanism further includes a frame, and the guide column is disposed in the frame and has two ends respectively connected to the frame.

[0027] By designing the frame, the guide column can have a foundation for installation, and it is also convenient to use equipment such as a transfer mechanism to directly clamp the frame, and then directly move the guide column and the fixture hung thereon together.

[0028] In an optional embodiment of the present application, a pressure sensor is installed on the second jig near one end of the frame to form a pressure jig, and the pressure jig is used to be inserted into the business card paper groove at the end position of the formation fixture.

[0029] By placing the pressure jig near the end of the frame so that it can be inserted into the business card paper groove at the end of the formation fixture, the detection environment of the pressure detection sensor on the formation fixture can be better simulated, making the pressure detection result more accurate.

[0030] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the formation fixture detection mechanism further includes a wireless communication module for transmitting the data collected by the pressure sensor and / or the temperature sensor to a host computer.

[0031] After installing the wireless communication module, data can be directly collected and sent out, so that the operator can read the data directly from the host computer without having to read and record the data at the formation site, which is more convenient to use.

[0032] An embodiment of the present application provides a formation fixture detection system, comprising a transfer mechanism and any one of the above-mentioned formation fixture detection mechanisms, wherein the transfer mechanism can transfer the formation fixture detection mechanism into a formation fixture, or move the formation fixture detection mechanism out of the formation fixture.

[0033] Combining the transfer mechanism with the formation fixture detection mechanism into a formation fixture detection system can save the manual operation of placing the formation fixture detection mechanism in or removing it from the formation fixture, which has a higher degree of automation and is more beneficial to improving data detection efficiency.

[0050] Example

[0051] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The embodiment of the present application provides a formation fixture detection mechanism 100, including: a guide member, a plurality of first fixtures 20, and a plurality of second fixtures.

[0052] When detecting the temperature, a plurality of first jigs 20 are mounted on the guide member and slidably cooperate with the guide member, each first jig 20 is used to be inserted into a business card paper groove 220 of the formation fixture, and a temperature sensor is provided on the first jig 20;

[0053] When detecting the pressure, a plurality of second jigs are mounted on the guide member and slidably cooperate with the guide member. Each second jig is used to be inserted into a business card paper groove 220 of the formation fixture. At least one second jig is provided with a pressure sensor 312.

[0054] Among them, the formation fixture is an existing fixture, and its morphology and structure can refer to Figure 7 As shown, its working principle can refer to the working principle of a common molding fixture, and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0055] By using the formation fixture detection mechanism 100 of the present application, the temperature in multiple business card paper grooves 220 can be detected at one time when the formation fixture is working, and the detection is more efficient; when detecting pressure, it is only necessary to replace the first fixture 20 with the second fixture, and then the corresponding amount of pressure data can be detected as required. There is no need for the operator to hold the temperature sensor or pressure sensor to detect the data, which improves the overall detection efficiency.

[0056] Please combine Figure 2 Specifically, in the present embodiment, the guide member is a guide post 10, and the guide post 10 is inserted into the fixture. During the inspection, the two ends of the guide post 10 can be clamped or the two ends of the guide post 10 can be manually held, and then the fixture is aligned with the business card paper groove 220 and inserted. It can be understood that the guide member can also be a guide rail, a guide groove, or other device that can guide the moving direction of the fixture. Depending on the type of the guide member, corresponding matching parts can be designed on the fixture, such as the hanging table 201 mentioned below, as long as it can ensure that the fixture can move under the guidance of the guide member. Among them, Figure 1 and Figure 3 FIG. 3 is a diagram showing that the pressure fixture 31 is installed on the guide column 10. Figure 2 2 shows that the first jig 20 is mounted on the guide post 10 .

[0057] Among them, the guide column 10 can not only carry the jig, but also provide a guiding function for the movement of the jig, and when it cooperates with the jig, it is also convenient to replace the jig. In detail, each jig includes a jig body 202 and two hanging tables 201, and the two hanging tables 201 are respectively connected to the two ends of the jig body 202. The formation fixture detection mechanism 100 includes two parallel guide columns 10, and each hanging table 201 can be slidably mounted on the corresponding guide column 10. The two guide columns 10 cooperate with the two hanging tables 201 of each jig to prevent the jig from shaking and affecting the operation of inserting it into the business card paper groove 220.

[0058] The jigs are designed with corresponding hanging platforms 201, which can be easily passed through the guide pillars 10 on the one hand, and on the other hand, when the jigs are replaced, there is no need to replace other types of guide parts. One jig can be directly removed and then another jig can be strung on, which saves the time of replacing the jigs and is beneficial to improving the overall detection efficiency.

[0059] In order to more conveniently transfer the fixture, the formation fixture detection mechanism 100 of the present embodiment also includes a framework 40, and the guide post 10 is arranged in the framework 40 and the two ends are respectively connected to the framework 40. By designing the framework 40, the guide post 10 can be provided with a foundation for installation, and it is also convenient to adopt a device such as a transfer mechanism 300 to directly clamp the framework 40, and then directly move the guide post 10 and the fixture hung thereon together. Wherein, the transfer mechanism 300 can form a formation fixture detection system with the formation fixture detection mechanism 100, which is specially used for the detection of the formation fixture, and can save the manual operation of placing or removing the formation fixture detection mechanism 100, and the automation degree is higher, which is more beneficial for improving the detection efficiency of data.

[0060] When the transfer mechanism 300 is used to transfer the formation fixture detection mechanism 100 of this embodiment, the following method can be used: Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The transfer mechanism 300 shown may be provided with a clamping portion 41 corresponding to the clamping claw 310 of the transfer mechanism 300 on the frame 40. The transfer mechanism 300 can transfer the formation fixture detection mechanism 100 into the formation fixture, or remove the formation fixture detection mechanism 100 from the formation fixture.

[0061] The transfer mechanism 300 belongs to the prior art, which generally includes a lifting mechanism 320 and a telescopic mechanism 330 to control the movement of the clamp 310, and then drive the entire formation fixture detection mechanism 100 to move after the clamp 310 clamps the clamping part 41. The transfer mechanism 300 itself will not be described here.

[0062] Please combine Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 7 In detail, in this embodiment, a pressure sensor 312 is installed on the second jig near one end of the frame 40 to form a pressure jig 31, and the pressure jig 31 is used to be inserted into the business card paper groove 220 at the end position 210 of the formation jig. By arranging the pressure jig 31 at a position close to the end of the frame 40, so that it can be correspondingly inserted into the business card paper groove 220 at the end position 210 of the formation jig, the detection environment of the pressure detection sensor on the formation jig can be better simulated, so that the pressure detection result is more accurate.

[0063] Further, the second jig without the pressure sensor 312 installed is called the common jig 32. You can choose to set only one pressure jig 31 according to the above method, and the others are all common jigs 32. Then the pressure jig 31 is inserted into the business card paper groove 220 at the end position 210 of the formation fixture for detection. Because the position of the pressure sensor in the existing formation fixture is at the end position, setting the pressure jig 31 here is close to the working environment of the pressure sensor of the actual formation fixture. Of course, part of the common jig 32 can also be replaced with the pressure jig 31 to meet the pressure detection requirements of different positions. Further, if necessary, it is also possible to consider setting the second jig as a pressure jig 31 to obtain the required pressure data.

[0064] Please combine Figure 4 In this embodiment, one or two temperature sensors (i.e. Figure 4 The temperature sensing head 21 in the card paper is provided. Different numbers of temperature sensors can be provided corresponding to the capacity of the card paper groove 220. For example, if only one battery cell 230 is placed in each card paper groove 220 of the formation fixture to be tested, only the first fixture 20 with one temperature sensor needs to be selected; if two battery cells 230 are placed in each card paper groove 220 of the formation fixture to be tested (the placement position is as shown in FIG. 1 ), Figure 7 Ⅰ, Ⅱ position), then select the first fixture 20 with two temperature sensors. This ensures that the number of temperature detection data meets the requirements. It can be understood that if a single business card paper groove 220 can accommodate more battery cells 230, the number of corresponding temperature sensors can be set corresponding to the number of battery cells 230.

[0065] It should be noted that Figure 4 The second fixture in the embodiment does not show the hanging table 201, which can be referred to as Figure 5 and Figure 6 The structure of the hanging platform 201.

[0066] The fixture bodies 202 of the above-mentioned first fixture 20 and second fixture can be made of bakelite, and a temperature sensor or a pressure sensor 312 is installed on the bakelite, and the bakelite is detachably connected to the hanging table 201 by bolts 204. In addition, the appearance of the first fixture 20 and the second fixture is basically the same, and is close to the appearance of the battery cell 230, so that the battery cell 230 can be better simulated to obtain more reliable data. Therefore, when replacing the fixture, in addition to replacing the first fixture 20 as a whole with the second fixture or replacing the second fixture as a whole with the first fixture 20, only the fixture body 202 can be replaced, and the fixture bodies 202 of different fixtures can all be adapted to the same style of hanging table 201.

[0067] Please combine Figure 2 and Figure 6 In order to make the movement of multiple jigs more consistent during detection, the formation fixture detection mechanism 100 also includes a flexible linkage, and multiple jigs are connected by the flexible linkage. The flexible linkage can facilitate the linkage of multiple jigs when in use, avoiding the jig getting stuck on the guide column 10 during detection and affecting the detection. In this embodiment, the flexible linkage is a linkage chain 50, and the above-mentioned hanging platform 201 is provided with a chain connecting block 203, and the chain connecting block 203 is detachably connected to the linkage chain 50. Since the linkage chain 50 has its own chain links, it is convenient to arrange the jigs at the required intervals, which is easy to use.

[0068] In detail, the chain connecting block 203 includes a base 2031 and a latch 2033. The latch 2033 is detachably connected to the base 2031. The opening position of the base 2031 can accommodate the links of the linkage chain 50. Then, the latch 2033 is passed through the links to complete the connection between the hanging platform 201 and the linkage chain 50.

[0069] Of course, in order to collect data more conveniently, the formation fixture detection mechanism 100 also includes a wireless communication module 60, which is used to transmit the data collected by the pressure sensor 312 and / or the temperature sensor to the host computer. After the wireless communication module 60 is installed, the data can be directly collected and sent, so that the operator can read the data directly from the host computer without having to read and record the data at the formation site, which is more convenient to use.

[0070] The principle of this embodiment is:

[0071] When it is necessary to detect the temperature in each business card paper groove 220, the first fixture 20 is installed on the guide post 10, and then the formation fixture detection mechanism 100 is placed in the formation fixture, and the formation fixture works according to the process during formation, and then the wireless communication module 60 can transmit the temperature detected by each first fixture 20 to the host computer, so that the temperature in all business card paper grooves 220 can be detected at one time. No manual handheld temperature sensor is needed, and then the temperature in each business card paper groove 220 is detected in turn. The battery cell formation process takes about 30-40 minutes, and the existing manual inspection method will consume a lot of time. The formation fixture detection mechanism 100 of the present application can greatly reduce the detection time.

[0072] When testing the pressure, the first fixture 20 is replaced with the second fixture, and then the corresponding pressure data can be measured. And according to the different set pressure values ​​during formation, the pressure values ​​under various conditions can be tested. So that after collecting multiple sets of data, the data can be used for subsequent operations such as calibration. Since there is no need for manual hand-held testing, the labor intensity during testing is greatly reduced.

[0073] It should be noted that the order of the above pressure and temperature detection is not limited, and the user can select the detection order according to the required data.

[0074] In addition, after being combined with the transfer mechanism 300, the operation of manually placing or removing the formation fixture detection mechanism 100 can be further omitted, further saving time and reducing the intensity of manual work.

[0075] The formation fixture detection mechanism 100 of the present application is to selectively install the first fixture 20 or the second fixture on the guide member, and then be placed in the formation fixture to simulate the process of battery cell formation, thereby realizing temperature or pressure detection. Compared with the ordinary manual handheld temperature sensor and pressure sensor inspection method, the detection efficiency is greatly improved, and the labor intensity of the user is reduced. At the same time, it can also be combined with the transfer mechanism 300 to further reduce the labor intensity of manual labor.

[0076] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
