Detailed Embodiments
[0061] Now, example embodiments will be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the example embodiments can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be more complete and comprehensive, and will fully convey the concept of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The drawings are only schematic illustrations of the present disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and thus repeated descriptions thereof will be omitted.
[0062] In addition, the described features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to give a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure. However, those skilled in the art will realize that the technical solutions of the present disclosure can be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or other methods, components, devices, steps, etc. can be used. In other cases, well-known structures, methods, devices, implementations, materials, or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring the various aspects of the present disclosure.
[0063] For ease of explanation, spatial relative terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", etc. can be used here to describe the relationship of one element or feature shown in the figure relative to another element or feature. It should be understood that, in addition to the orientations shown in the figure, spatial terms are intended to include different orientations during the use or operation of the device. For example, if the device in the figure is inverted, the element described as being "below" other elements or features will be positioned "above" other elements or features. Thus, the exemplary term "lower" can include both upper and lower orientations. The device can also be positioned in other ways, such as rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations, and the spatial relative descriptions used here can be interpreted accordingly.
[0064] The present invention provides a solder tape adjusting device, which includes a frame, a solder tape feeding mechanism, a detection mechanism and a control unit; wherein,
[0065] A plurality of the solder tape feeding mechanisms are provided and arranged side by side on the frame, and each solder tape feeding mechanism is arranged to be able to press a solder tape and feed the pressed solder tape in the extending direction of the solder tape;
[0066] The detection mechanism is used to detect the node positions of a group of solder tapes pressed by the plurality of solder tape feeding mechanisms at a detection station;
[0067] The control unit can receive the node position information of the solder tapes detected by the detection mechanism, and control each solder tape feeding mechanism to feed the solder tape according to the node position information to adjust the relative positions of the solder tapes in the length direction.
[0068] The solder tape adjusting device provided by the present invention can be used in a cell string soldering device for connecting cells in series with solder tapes. Before laying the solder tapes on the cell string soldering device, the positions of the solder tapes in the length direction are first adjusted by using the solder tape adjusting device, so that the nodes of a group of solder tapes are aligned in the width direction of the solder tapes and arranged in a straight line, which is beneficial to improving the quality of the cell string welded by the solder tapes and reducing the rejection rate. As Figure 1 shows a group of solder tapes 100 before adjustment, and the nodes 101 of this group of solder tapes are arranged in a disorderly manner, as Figure 2 shows a group of solder tapes 100 adjusted by the solder tape adjusting device, and the nodes 101 of this group of solder tapes are arranged in a straight line.
[0069] Preferably, according to the position information of the predetermined nodes of a group of solder tapes detected by the detection mechanism, the position of the predetermined node at the forefront of this group of solder tapes can be determined as the target position, and then the solder tapes with the predetermined nodes not at the target position are determined as the solder tapes to be fed. According to the distance between the predetermined nodes of the solder tapes to be fed and the target position, the solder tape feeding mechanisms of the solder tapes to be fed are controlled to feed the solder tapes, so that the nodes of each solder tape are aligned with the nodes at the forefront target position.
[0070] Of course, the technical solution provided by the present invention is not limited to taking the position of the frontmost predetermined node as the target position. For example, a certain position in front of the predetermined node of each solder strip can also be set as the target position so that each solder strip is fed forward; or a certain position in the middle of each predetermined node can be set as the target position so that some solder strips are fed and some solder strips are retracted to align the predetermined nodes of a group of solder strips.
[0071] The specific structure of the solder strip adjusting device provided by the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0072] As Figure 1 shown, the solder strip adjusting device includes a frame 1, and a plurality of solder strip feeding mechanisms are arranged side by side on the frame 1. Among them, each solder strip feeding mechanism includes:
[0073] A carrier 2, the carrier 2 having a bearing surface 21 for bearing the solder strip;
[0074] A pressing block 3, the pressing block 3 being arranged above the bearing surface 21;
[0075] A pressing driving mechanism 4, the pressing driving mechanism 4 being installed on the carrier 2, and the pressing driving mechanism 4 being connected to the pressing block 3 to drive the pressing block 3 to move towards or away from the bearing surface 21;
[0076] A feeding driving mechanism 5, the feeding driving mechanism 5 being connected to the carrier 2 to drive the carrier 2 to move back and forth relative to the frame 1 along the direction of solder strip feeding.
[0077] When feeding the solder strip, first, each pressing block 3 presses a group of solder strips on the corresponding bearing surface 21 of the carrier 2. A detection mechanism (not shown in the figure) detects the node position of the solder strip 100 located at the detection station 200, and then each feeding driving mechanism 5 drives the corresponding carrier 2 to move a certain distance according to the detection of the detection mechanism. The carrier 2 drives the pressing block 3, the pressing driving mechanism 4, and the pressed solder strip 100 to move as a whole, so that the nodes of the group of solder strips are arranged in alignment.
[0078] In Figures 3 - 6 the shown embodiment, the pressing driving mechanism 4 is a pressing cylinder, the fixed end of the pressing cylinder is fixed on the carrier 2, and the driving end is connected to the pressing block 3. The structure of driving the pressing block 3 by a cylinder is relatively simple. Of course, a motor and a transmission mechanism (for example) can also be used to drive the pressing block 3 to press the solder strip, but the structure is relatively complex.
[0079] In this embodiment, the feeding driving mechanism 5 is a feeding cylinder. The fixed end of the feeding cylinder is fixed relative to the frame 1, and the driving end is connected to the carrier 2.
[0080] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 , an installation plate 11 is provided on the frame 1. The fixed ends of multiple feeding cylinders are fixed side by side on the installation plate 11, and the driving ends pass through the installation plate 11 and are connected to the carrier 2. In this way, the telescopic movement of the driving end of the feeding cylinder can drive the carrier 2 to move relative to the frame 1. Preferably, a slide rail can be provided between the carrier 2 and the frame 1, and the carrier 2 moves along the slide rail.
[0081] In another embodiment, the feeding driving mechanism 5 can also adopt other structural forms.
[0082] For example, in the embodiment shown in Figures 7 - 9 , the feeding driving mechanism 5 includes:
[0083] A motor 51;
[0084] A runner 53, the runner 53 is driven by the motor 51 to rotate, and the axial direction of the runner 53 is consistent with the feeding direction of the welding tape. A helical groove 531 extending spirally is formed on the circumferential surface of the runner 53;
[0085] A push rod 52, one end of the push rod 52 is located in the helical groove 531, and the other end is connected to the carrier 2;
[0086] During the rotation of the runner 53, the push rod 52 moves axially along the helical groove 531, so that the push rod 52 can push the carrier 2 to move back and forth along the feeding direction of the welding tape.
[0087] Preferably, a roller 54 is provided at one end of the push rod 52 located in the helical groove 531. When the end of the push rod 52 moves in the helical groove 531, the roller 54 rolls, which can increase the flexibility of the push rod 52 moving in the helical groove 531.
[0088] When feeding the welding tape, the pressing block 3 presses the welding tape against the bearing surface 21 of the carrier 2. Then, according to the detection of the detection mechanism, the motors 51 of each feeding driving mechanism 5 adjust the feeding length according to the needs of the welding tape, drive the runner 53 to rotate a certain angle in the preset direction, and the helical groove 531 on the runner 53 drives the push rod 52 to move along the helical groove 531. The axial movement of the push rod 52 can drive the carrier 2 to feed axially (i.e., move along the feeding direction of the welding tape), and the welding tape pressed between the carrier 2 and the pressing block 3 is fed.
[0089] In this embodiment, in order to enable the carrier 2 to move relative to the frame 1, a leaf spring 8 is connected between the carrier 2 and the frame 1. When the feeding drive mechanism 5 drives the carrier 2 to move relative to the frame 1, the leaf spring 8 deforms. Of course, it is also possible to adopt a method of arranging a slide rail between the carrier 2 and the frame 1 so that the carrier 2 moves relative to the frame 1 along the slide rail.
[0090] Furthermore, a connecting arm 7 is connected between the carrier 2 and the frame 1, and leaf springs 8 are respectively connected between the connecting arm 7 and the carrier 2 and the frame 1.
[0091] In the embodiment as Figures 10 - 12 shown, the feeding drive mechanism 5 includes a motor 51, a lead screw 55 driven by the motor 51 to rotate, and a nut 56 engaged with the lead screw 55;
[0092] The carrier 2 is connected to the nut 56 so that the nut 56 drives the carrier 2 to move back and forth along the feeding direction of the welding tape.
[0093] Specifically, a connecting plate 12 is provided on the frame 1. The motors 51 of each feeding drive mechanism 5 are respectively connected to the connecting plate 12. On the side of the connecting plate 12 facing away from the motor 51, a lead screw 55 driven by the motor 51 and a nut 56 engaged with the lead screw 55 to rotate are provided. A connecting member 57 is fixedly connected to the nut 56, and the carrier 2 is connected to the nut 56 through the connecting member 57. Thus, the axial movement of the nut 56 along the lead screw can drive the axial movement of the carrier 2 to achieve the feeding of the carrier 2.
[0094] In addition, in this embodiment, a limiting plate 58 fixed relative to the frame 1 is further provided outside each nut 56 to prevent the nut 56 from disengaging from the lead screw, and the limiting plate 58 also plays a safety protection role.
[0095] In addition, in the technical solution provided by the present invention, the welding tape adjusting device further includes a cutting mechanism 6, and the cutting mechanism 6 is used to cut the welding tape after the welding tape feeding mechanism adjusts the positions of the welding tapes;
[0096] As Figure 4 shown, the cutting mechanism 6 includes an upper cutter 61, a lower cutter 62, an upper driving mechanism 65 for driving the upper cutter 61 to move towards the lower cutter 62, and a lower driving mechanism 66 for driving the lower cutter 62 to move towards the upper cutter 61. The upper driving mechanism 65 and the lower driving mechanism 66 are installed on the frame 1.
[0097] Specifically, the upper cutting knife 61 is fixed on the upper mounting plate 63. The upper driving mechanism 65 is a cylinder with its fixed end fixed on the frame 1. The driving end of the upper driving mechanism 65 is connected to the upper mounting plate 63 to drive the upper cutting knife 61 to move downward. Similarly, the lower cutting knife 62 is fixed on the lower mounting plate 64. The lower driving mechanism 66 is a cylinder with its fixed end fixed on the frame 1. The driving end of the lower driving mechanism 66 is connected to the lower mounting plate 64 to drive the lower cutting knife 62 to move upward. When the upper cutting knife 61 and the lower cutting knife 62 jointly move to the position of the solder tape pressed by the solder tape feeding mechanism, the solder tape is cut to a preset length suitable for connecting the battery cells.
[0098] In addition, in the technical solution provided by the present invention, the detection mechanism may include a camera for taking pictures of the solder tape at the detection station, obtaining the image of the solder tape through the camera, so as to obtain the position information of the nodes of the solder tape, and adjusting the solder tape according to the position information. Of course, other components that can detect the position of the solder tape nodes can also be used for the detection mechanism.
[0099] According to another aspect of the present invention, a battery cell string welding device is further provided. The battery cell string welding device includes a welding conveying device, a welding device, a battery cell feeding device, and a solder tape feeding device;
[0100] The battery cell feeding device provides battery cells to the welding conveying device;
[0101] The solder tape feeding device provides solder tapes to the welding conveying device and stacks the battery cells and solder tapes on the welding conveying device;
[0102] The welding conveying device conveys the stacked battery cells and solder tapes to the welding station;
[0103] The welding device welds the battery cells and solder tapes at the welding station to form a battery string.
[0104] Among them, the solder tape feeding device includes the solder tape adjusting device as described above. Before the solder tape is placed on the welding conveying device, the solder tape is adjusted by the solder tape adjusting device so that the nodes of a set of solder tapes to be laid are arranged in a straight line in the direction perpendicular to the length of the solder tape.
