[0003] In related technologies, the tools used to process wire harnesses, weld them onto connecting pieces, and apply adhesive are semi-automated, resulting in limited production efficiency. Furthermore, most workstations are arranged in an assembly line layout, which makes the arrangement of each workstation less compact and takes up more space. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the aforementioned technologies. Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a manufacturing equipment for battery module components that can automatically weld wire harnesses onto connecting pieces, with a compact arrangement of each workstation, reducing equipment space occupation and improving processing efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a manufacturing equipment for battery module components, comprising: a turntable and a wire supply device, a welding device, a dispensing device, and a loading and unloading device arranged around the outer periphery of the turntable.

[0006] The turntable is rotatably arranged between the wire supply device, the welding device, the dispensing device, and the loading and unloading device. The turntable has several receiving slots suitable for placing connecting pieces and several wire-moving claws suitable for clamping wires distributed around its circumference. The wire-moving claws are arranged close to the receiving slots so that the first welding position of the wire contacts the second welding position of the connecting piece.

[0007] The wire supply device has a wire feeding section and a cutting and stripping section. The wire feeding section is adapted to transport the wire to the cutting and stripping section for cutting and stripping, and to transfer the stripped wire to the wire clamp.

[0008] The welding device is adapted to weld the first welding position of the wire to the second welding position of the connecting piece;

[0009] The dispensing device is adapted to dispense adhesive onto the wire and the connecting piece to cover the welding position of the wire and the connecting piece;

[0010] The loading and unloading device is adapted to receive the processed wires and connecting pieces from the turntable and load the connecting pieces to be processed onto the turntable.

[0011] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a manufacturing equipment for battery module components is provided by arranging a wire supply device, a welding device, a dispensing device, and a loading / unloading device around a turntable.

Furthermore, the arrangement of each station is compact, reducing the space occupied by the equipment. Moreover, the loading / unloading device loads and unloads simultaneously, further improving efficiency.

[0012] In addition, the battery module component manufacturing equipment proposed in the above embodiments of the present invention may also have the following additional technical features:

[0013] Optionally, the device also includes a terminal crimping machine adapted to crimp terminals onto the non-soldering ends of the wire. This allows for automated processing of the wire before welding and adhesive bonding to the connecting piece.

[0019] The first moving drive unit connects the wire clamping claw and the wire passage to drive the wire clamping claw and the wire passage to move, so that the wire is stripped at the stripping knife or the wire is transferred to the wire moving claw. Specifically, the wire feeding unit feeds one end of the wire to the stripping knife for stripping, then feeds that end to the terminal crimping machine. After the terminal crimping is completed, the wire feeding unit feeds the wire to the wire clamping claw and the wire passage, where the wire clamping claw holds the wire. Then, the cutter cuts the wire, and the stripping knife strips the other end of the wire. After stripping, the lifting unit lifts the wire from the wire clamping claw, making it easier for the wire moving claw to hold the wire.

[0020] Optionally, the welding apparatus includes an ultrasonic welding machine and a support member, the support member being adapted to contact the bottom of the turntable to support the turntable when the ultrasonic welding machine is operating. Thus, the support member ensures that the connecting pieces are not deformed during welding and guarantees a consistent welding height.

[0021] Furthermore, a first clamping jaw is provided between the receiving groove and the wire-carrying jaw; the welding device has a second clamping jaw, which is adapted to be inserted into the first clamping jaw to position the wire. This allows for precise welding of the wire.

[0026] The second moving drive unit connects the glue storage chamber and the first curing lamp. The heating element heats the dispensing head, improving the flowability of the glue.

[0027] Furthermore, it also includes a wiping component and a discharging cylinder, wherein the wiping component is adapted to wipe the glue from the dispensing head, and the discharging cylinder is adapted to discharge the glue from the glue storage cavity.

[0028] Optionally, the loading and unloading device includes a material storage section, a finished product collection section, a moving component, and a third moving drive component;

[0029] The moving part has a support plate, a loading gripper and a unloading gripper. The support plate has a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The loading gripper is disposed on the first end of the support plate and is adapted to remove the connecting piece. The unloading gripper is disposed on the second end of the support plate and is adapted to remove the finished product.

[0030] The storage section is used to store the connecting piece and is located on the outside of the first end;

[0031] The finished product collection section is used to collect finished products and is located on the outside of the second end;

[0060] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0061] To better understand the above technical solutions, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

[0062] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-15 The implementation of a manufacturing equipment for battery module components provided by the present invention will be described in detail.

[0063] like Figure 1 As shown, the manufacturing equipment for battery module components provided by the present invention involves welding the wire 1 in the battery module onto the connecting piece 2. After welding, adhesive is applied to the welding position to wrap the welding position. One end of the wire 1 is welded to the connecting piece 2, and the other end can be crimped to a terminal.

[0064] Combination Figures 2-15 The manufacturing equipment for the battery module components includes a turntable 100 and wire supply devices, welding devices, dispensing devices, and loading / unloading devices arranged around the outer periphery of the turntable 100.

[0065] Specifically, the turntable 100 is rotatably arranged between the wire supply device, the welding device, the dispensing device, and the loading and unloading device. The turntable 100 has several receiving grooves 101 suitable for placing the connecting piece 2 and several wire-moving claws 102 suitable for clamping the wire 1. The wire-moving claws 102 are arranged close to the receiving grooves 101 so that the first welding position of the wire 2 contacts the second welding position of the connecting piece 2. That is to say, the wire 1 and the connecting piece 2 are transferred to each workstation for processing by the rotation of the turntable 100.

[0066] The wire supply device has a wire feeding section 201 and a cutting and stripping section 202. The wire feeding section 201 is adapted to convey the wire 1 to the cutting and stripping section 202 for cutting and stripping, and to transfer the stripped wire 1 to the wire handling gripper 102. The welding device is adapted to weld the first welding position of the wire 1 to the second welding position of the connecting piece 2. The glue dispensing device is adapted to apply glue to the wire 1 and the connecting piece 2 to wrap the welding position of the wire 1 and the connecting piece 2. The loading and unloading device is adapted to receive the processed wire 1 and the connecting piece 2 from the turntable 100 and to load the connecting piece 2 to be processed onto the turntable 100.

[0067] Therefore, by arranging the wire supply device, welding device, dispensing device, and loading / unloading device around the turntable 100, and by providing multiple receiving slots 101 for placing connecting pieces 2 and wire clamping claws 102 for holding wires 1 on the turntable 100, multiple connecting pieces 2 and wires 1 can be welded and dispensed simultaneously, improving processing efficiency. Furthermore, the compact arrangement of each station reduces the space occupied by the equipment. Moreover, the simultaneous loading / unloading of the devices further improves efficiency.

[0068] In some examples, a terminal crimping machine 300 is also included, which is adapted to crimp terminals onto the non-soldering ends of the wire 1. This allows for automated processing of the wire 1 before welding and adhesive application to the connecting piece 2. For example, one end of the wire 1 may be stripped, crimped, and then the stripped wire may be welded to the connecting piece.

[0069] In some examples, combined Figure 4 and Figure 6 The turntable 100 has several wire storage channels 103 distributed circumferentially; several wire-carrying claws 102 are arranged one-to-one with several receiving slots 101 on the side facing the center of the turntable 100, and several wire storage channels 103 are arranged one-to-one with several wire-carrying claws 102 on the side facing the center of the turntable. The wire storage channels 103 prevent the wires 1 from tangling, and the other end of the wire 1 is crimped with a terminal, which is protected by the wire storage channels 103. The wire storage channels 103 can be constructed as pipes, with one end facing the wire-carrying claws 102 and the other end facing the ground, allowing the wires 1 to hang naturally within the wire storage channels 103.

[0070] Optionally, a plurality of receiving slots 101 are circumferentially spaced; correspondingly, a plurality of wire-moving grippers 102 are also circumferentially spaced, and a plurality of wire-storing channels 103 are also circumferentially spaced. The receiving slots 101, wire-moving grippers 102, and wire-storing channels 103 enable the simultaneous processing of multiple wires and connecting pieces, improving efficiency.

[0071] Furthermore, a through hole is provided at the bottom of the receiving groove 101 so that the bottom surface of the connecting piece 2 placed in the receiving groove 101 contacts the welding seat 104. During ultrasonic welding, the welding head vibrates back and forth at a high frequency, and the welding seat 104 can prevent the connecting piece 2 from shifting. Specifically, the contact surface between the welding seat 104 and the connecting piece 2 is provided with several protrusions, thereby increasing the friction between the welding seat 104 and the connecting piece 2 and preventing the connecting piece 2 from shifting.

[0072] Optionally, the turntable 100 can be driven to rotate by a rotation drive 105, which can be a motor with a synchronous belt driving a rotating shaft to rotate, and the rotating shaft is connected to the turntable 100.

[0073] In some examples, combined Figure 7 and Figure 8 The cutting and stripping section 202 includes a cutter 2021, a stripping blade 2022, a wire clamping claw 2023, a wire passage 2024, a first moving drive member 2025, and a lifting member 2026. The wire clamping claw 2023 is disposed between the cutter 2021 and the wire passage 2024. The stripping blade 2022 is disposed on the side of the cutter 2021 facing the wire feeding section 201. The lifting member 2026 is disposed on the side of the wire passage 2024 facing the turntable 100 to lift the wire 1 in the wire passage 2024 for clamping by the wire clamping claw 102. The first moving drive member 2025 connects the wire clamping claw 2023 and the wire passage 2024 to drive the wire clamping claw 2023 and the wire passage 2024 to move so that the wire 1 is stripped at the stripping blade 2022 or the wire 1 is transferred to the wire clamping claw 102. In this process, the wire feeding unit 201 feeds one end of the wire 1 to the stripping knife 2022 for stripping, and then feeds the end to the terminal crimping machine 300 for crimping. After the terminal crimping is completed, the wire feeding unit 201 feeds the wire 1 to the clamping claw 2023 and the wire passage 2024, so that the clamping claw 2023 clamps the wire 1. Then, the cutter 2021 cuts the wire 1, and the stripping knife 2022 strips the insulation from the other end of the wire 1. After stripping, the lifting member 2026 lifts the wire 1 from the clamping claw 2023, so that the wire transfer claw 102 can clamp the wire 1. Here, the lifting member 2026 can be a cylinder-driven lifting plate to lift the wire; the first moving drive member 2025 can be a linear module structure.

[0074] Optionally, the wire feeding section 201 may include a clamping and conveying structure, a straightening structure, and a rotatable wire clamp that drives the wire to rotate between the cutting and stripping section 202 and the terminal crimping machine 300 for different operations.

[0075] In some examples, combined Figure 9 and Figure 10 The welding apparatus includes an ultrasonic welding machine 401 and a support member 402. The support member 402 is adapted to contact the bottom of the turntable 100 to support the turntable 100 when the ultrasonic welding machine 401 is working. Thus, the support member 402 ensures that the connecting piece 2 will not be deformed during welding and guarantees a consistent welding height. The support member 402 can be a cylinder-driven wedge block that contacts and supports the turntable 100.

[0076] Optionally, a first claw 106 is provided between the receiving groove 101 and the wire-carrying claw 102; the welding device has a second claw 403, which is adapted to be inserted into the first claw 106 to position the wire 1. Thus, the welding position of the wire 1 can be made precise.

[0077] In some examples, combined Figure 11 and Figure 12The dispensing device includes a glue storage chamber 501, a dispensing head 502, a first curing lamp 503, and a second moving drive 504. The glue storage chamber 501 stores adhesive. The dispensing head 502 is located at the bottom of the glue storage chamber 501 to dispense adhesive onto the wire 1 and connecting piece 2. A heating element 505 is installed on the dispensing head 502 to heat the adhesive. The first curing lamp 503 is suitable for pre-curing the adhesive at the dispensing location. The second moving drive 504 connects the glue storage chamber 501 and the first curing lamp 503. The heating element 505 heats the dispensing head 502, improving the fluidity of the adhesive. The second moving drive 504 can drive the dispensing head 502 and the first curing lamp 503 to the dispensing location of the wire 1 and connecting piece 2 for dispensing and pre-curing. Here, the second moving drive 504 can be a linear module structure.

[0078] Furthermore, it also includes a wiping component 506 and a discharging cylinder 507. The wiping component 506 is suitable for wiping the glue from the discharging head 502, and the discharging cylinder 507 is suitable for discharging glue from the glue storage chamber 501.

[0079] In some examples, combined Figures 13-15 The loading and unloading device includes a storage section 601, a finished product collection section 602, a moving member 603, and a third moving drive member 604. Specifically, the moving member 603 has a support plate 6031, a loading gripper 6032, and a unloading gripper 6033. The support plate 6031 has a first end and a second end facing each other. The loading gripper 6032 is disposed on the first end of the support plate 6031 and is adapted to pick up the connecting piece 2. The unloading gripper 6033 is disposed on the second end of the support plate 6031 and is adapted to pick up the finished product. The storage section 601 is used to store the connecting piece 1 and is located outside the first end. The finished product collection section 602 is used to collect the finished product and is located outside the second end. The third moving drive member 604 connects to the moving member 603 to drive the moving member 603 to move between the storage section 601 or the finished product collection section 602 and the processing area.

[0080] Therefore, by setting the loading gripper 6032 and the unloading gripper 6033 at opposite ends of the support plate 6031, when the support plate 6031 is close to the wire-moving gripper 102, the loading gripper 6032 loads the connecting piece 2 into the processing area, and the unloading gripper 6033 receives the finished product from the wire-moving gripper 102. When the support plate 6031 is away from the wire-moving gripper 102, the unloading gripper 6033 transfers the finished product to the finished product collection section 602, and the loading gripper 6032 receives the connecting piece 2 from the storage section 601. Thus, loading and unloading can be performed simultaneously, improving production efficiency while reducing the space occupied by the equipment in the factory.

[0081] Optionally, the loading gripper 6032 has a first suction cup 60321, which is adapted to pick up the connecting piece 2. Picking up the connecting piece 2 by the suction cup can prevent damage to the connecting piece 2 during the removal process. In addition, the loading gripper 6032 may also include a cylinder, which is connected to the first suction cup 60321 to drive the first suction cup 60321 to move.

[0082] The unloading gripper 6033 has a first gripper 60331 and a second suction cup 60332. The first gripper 60331 is adapted to hold the wire 1 in the finished product, and the second suction cup 60332 is adapted to pick up the connecting piece 2 in the finished product. Thus, the finished product can be stably removed. The unloading gripper 6033 may also include a cylinder, which connects the first gripper 60331 and the second suction cup 60332 to drive the first gripper 60331 and the second suction cup 60332 to move.

[0083] The third moving drive component 604 is a synchronous belt linear module. The support plate 6031 is mounted on the slide of the synchronous belt linear module. The support plate 6031 moves by the movement of the slide on the guide rail. The material storage part 601 can be located on one side of the guide rail, and the finished product collection part 602 can be located on the other side of the guide rail.

[0084] The storage unit 601 includes a storage cavity 6011, a lifting plate 6012, and a lifting drive 6013. The top of the storage cavity 6011 is open, and the storage cavity 6011 contains a stack, which is formed by stacking several connecting pieces 2. The lifting plate 6012 is located at the bottom of the storage cavity 6011 and is adapted to raise the stack so that the connecting pieces 2 to be processed are located at the top of the storage cavity 6011. The lifting drive 6013 is connected to the lifting plate 6012 to drive its lifting movement. That is, the lifting drive 6013 drives the lifting plate 6012 to rise, so that the lifting plate 6012 lifts the stack onto the platform, exposing the top of the storage cavity 6011 for the loading gripper 6032 to pick up. The lifting drive 6013 can be a synchronous belt linear module.

[0085] Furthermore, the support plate 6031 is bent between the first and second ends so that the two adjacent wire-carrying jaws 102 are located at the loading jaw 6032 and the unloading jaw 6033, respectively. The bending of the support plate 6031 can match the circumferential distribution structure of several wire-carrying jaws 102 on the turntable 100.

[0086] In some examples, an auxiliary unloading pallet 605 and a pallet drive 606 can also be provided at the unloading position. The pallet drive 606 is used to drive the pallet 605 to move and receive the finished product from the wire-carrying claw 102, so that the unloading claw 6033 can pick up the finished product. The pallet drive 606 can be a linear cylinder module.

[0087] In some examples, a first visual inspection mechanism 701 and a second visual inspection mechanism 702 are also included. The first visual inspection mechanism 701 is disposed between the loading and unloading device and the wire supply device to detect and determine whether the connecting piece 2 is correctly placed in the receiving groove 101. The second visual inspection mechanism 702 is disposed between the dispensing device and the loading and unloading device to detect and determine whether the glue length at the dispensing position of the connecting piece 2 and the wire 1 is qualified.

[0088] In some examples, a second curing lamp 801 and a third curing lamp 802 are also included, which are arranged around the turntable 100 and located on the right side of the dispensing device, and are adapted to cure the dispensing position.
