[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, an assembly device for a copper cover is provided, comprising:

[0041] The copper cover provides component 3100, including conveyor 3120 for providing the copper cover;

[0042] The copper cover acquisition component 3200 includes a guide rail 3210 and a pick-and-place mechanism 3220 that slides with the guide rail 3210. One end of the guide rail 3210 is located above the copper cover supply component 3100. The pick-and-place mechanism 3220 can move along the guide rail 3210 to above the copper cover supply component 3100 and acquire two copper covers.

[0043] A positioning fixture 1000 is located below the other end of the guide rail 3210 and is used to place the battery cover plate 10. The picking and placing mechanism 3220 can move along the guide rail 3210 to the top of the positioning fixture 1000 and can move downward to place the two copper covers obtained into the two mounting holes 101 of the battery cover plate 10.

[0044] Specifically, the battery cover 10 is placed on the positioning fixture 1000, and the pick-and-place mechanism 3220 is moved along the guide rail 3210 to above the copper cover providing component 3100 and obtains two copper covers; then it is moved along the guide rail 3210 to above the positioning fixture 1000 and moved downward to place the two obtained copper covers into the two mounting holes 101 of the battery cover 10 respectively, thereby realizing the acquisition of copper covers and quick assembly with the battery cover 10.

[0045] In this embodiment, the copper cover and the mounting hole 101 of the battery cover 10 are assembled by the cooperation of the copper cover providing component 3100, the copper cover acquiring component 3200 and the positioning fixture 1000. This enables automatic positioning assembly with high assembly accuracy and efficiency, and can meet the requirements of mass production.

[0046] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the picking and placing mechanism 3220 includes a vertical telescopic cylinder 3221 and a horizontal telescopic cylinder 3222;

[0047] The vertical telescopic cylinder 3221 includes a vertical telescopic cylinder seat 3221a and a vertical telescopic cylinder head 3221b that can extend downwards. The vertical telescopic cylinder seat 3221a is slidably engaged with the guide rail 3210.

[0048] The horizontal telescopic cylinder 3222 includes a horizontally arranged bidirectional cylinder. The bidirectional cylinder includes a horizontal telescopic cylinder seat 3222a and two horizontal telescopic cylinder heads 3222b arranged opposite to each other. The horizontal telescopic cylinder seat 3222a is connected to the vertical telescopic cylinder head 3221b, and the length direction of the bidirectional cylinder is consistent with the conveying direction of the conveying table 3120. The horizontal telescopic cylinder heads 3222b are respectively connected to negative pressure adsorption heads 3222c. There is a preset distance between the two negative pressure adsorption heads 3222c, which is consistent with the distance L1 between the two copper covers on the conveying table 3120. They are used to approach and adsorb the two copper covers respectively. The distance between the two negative pressure adsorption heads 3222c can be adjusted to be consistent with the distance L2 between the two mounting holes 101 when the vertical telescopic cylinder seat 3221a slides along the guide rail 3210 above the positioning fixture 1000, and the two copper covers are respectively placed in the corresponding mounting holes 101.

[0049] Specifically, the battery cover 10, after being fitted with the positive and negative terminals in the two mounting holes 101 respectively, is placed in the positioning fixture 1000; the pick-and-place mechanism 3220 is moved along the guide rail 3210 to above the conveyor table 3120, and the distance between the two negative pressure adsorption heads 3222c is adjusted to match the distance L1 between the two copper covers on the conveyor table 3120 by driving the horizontal telescopic cylinder head 3222b; the vertical telescopic cylinder head 3221b is driven to extend downward, causing the horizontal telescopic cylinder seat 3222a to move downward, and the two negative pressure adsorption heads 3222c simultaneously move downward and adsorb the corresponding copper covers respectively; then the vertical telescopic cylinder head 3221b is driven to drive the horizontal telescopic cylinder 3222a and the two negative pressure adsorption heads 3222c to extend downward and move downward, causing the two negative pressure adsorption heads 3222c to move downward and adsorb the corresponding copper covers respectively; then the vertical telescopic cylinder head 3221b is driven to drive the horizontal telescopic cylinder 3222a and the two negative pressure adsorption heads 3222a to extend downward and move downward, causing the two negative pressure adsorption heads 3222c to move downward and adsorb the corresponding copper covers respectively; The pressure adsorption head 3222c rises, and the pick-and-place mechanism 3220 moves along the guide rail 3210 to above the battery cover plate 10. The distance between the two negative pressure adsorption heads 3222c is adjusted to match the distance L2 between the two mounting holes 101 by driving the horizontal telescopic cylinder head 3222b, and they are respectively aligned with the positions of the mounting holes 101. The vertical telescopic cylinder head 3221b is driven to extend downward, causing the horizontal telescopic cylinder seat 3222a to move downward. The two negative pressure adsorption heads 3222c move downward simultaneously and place the copper cover in the corresponding mounting hole 101. The negative pressure of the two negative pressure adsorption heads 3222c is released, and finally the copper cover is coaxially placed in the mounting hole 101 of the battery cover plate 10, realizing the assembly of the copper cover.

[0050] Since the copper covers on the conveyor 3120 are arranged in sequence, the distance between any two copper covers is different from the distance L2 between the two mounting holes 101 on the battery cover 10. Therefore, usually only the copper covers can be aligned with the mounting holes 101 one by one for assembly, and it is difficult to install two copper covers accurately at the same time.

[0051] In this embodiment, two copper covers are first simultaneously acquired through the cooperation of a vertical telescopic cylinder 3221 and a bidirectional cylinder. Then, the length of the bidirectional cylinder is adjusted, and the positions and movements of the vertical telescopic cylinder 3221, the bidirectional cylinder, and the battery cover 10 are coordinated to simultaneously transfer the two copper covers to the two mounting holes 101. This one-step operation achieves rapid assembly of the two copper covers, saving half the time. The operation is simple and has significant implications for improving production efficiency. This embodiment also ensures the precise installation position of the copper covers, avoiding horizontal deviations caused by incomplete vertical alignment between the two copper covers and the two mounting holes 101. The copper covers and their corresponding mounting holes 101 maintain coaxial assembly. The negative pressure adsorption head 3222c provides stable adsorption force for the copper covers, preventing positional shifts during transfer that could lead to assembly deviations. By adopting the above structure, the complexity of the assembly process is reduced, the difficulty of the operation is lowered, and the probability of errors is reduced.

[0052] In this embodiment, the negative pressure adsorption head 3222c generates negative pressure by being connected to the negative pressure generator through an air pipe. Specifically, when the negative pressure adsorption head 3222c approaches the conveyor table 3120, the negative pressure generator is activated, and the copper cover can be adsorbed through the negative pressure adsorption head 3222c. The negative pressure adsorption head 3222c moves downward and places the copper cover in the corresponding mounting hole 101. After the negative pressure generator is turned off, the two negative pressure adsorption heads 3222c release the negative pressure and loosen the copper cover, so that the copper cover is coaxially placed in the mounting hole 101 of the battery cover plate 10, thus realizing the assembly of the copper cover.

[0053] refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the positioning fixture 1000 includes a positioning support 1100. The top surface of the positioning support 1100 has positioning bosses 1101 at both ends along its length for positioning the battery cover 10. Positioning blocking portions 1102 are provided at both ends of the top surface along its length, and these blocking portions 1102 are arranged around the positioning bosses 1101. Specifically, the battery cover 10 to be assembled is placed on the positioning support 1100, and both ends of the battery cover 10 along its length are positioned by the positioning bosses 1101.

[0054] This embodiment not only enables precise assembly of the copper cover; the positioning fixture 1000 provides a positioning space for the battery cover 10. After the battery cover 10 is placed on its surface, the positioning boss 1101 can cooperate to position and support the electrode mounting parts on both sides of the length direction of the battery cover 10. After the battery cover 10 is positioned, the structure is stable and will not bend or deform when it is moved or assembled on the production line. It can meet the requirements for the flatness of the battery cover 10 when installing the positive terminal post, negative terminal post, or welding the explosion-proof sheet, thus improving the assembly yield.

[0055] The positioning enclosure 1102 is arranged around the circumference of the battery cover 10 to limit the battery cover 10. It works together with the positioning boss 1101 to prevent the battery cover 10 from sliding on the surface of the positioning support 1100 when the positioning fixture 1000 moves on the production line, which would prevent the terminal post and other parts from being assembled in the preset manner, or cause the product to be scrapped due to the deviation of the assembly position.

[0056] refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, there are two or more positioning supports 1100, arranged sequentially along the width direction;

[0057] There are two or more pick-up and place-down mechanisms 3220, which are arranged sequentially along the width direction of the positioning support 1100, and the distance between adjacent pick-up and place-down mechanisms 3220 is the same as the distance between the mounting holes 101 of the battery cover plate 10 on the corresponding two positioning supports 1100 along the width direction of the positioning support 1100.

[0058] Specifically, taking two as an example, the two pick-and-place mechanisms 3220 simultaneously move along the guide rail 3210 to above the copper cover providing component 3100 and sequentially pick up the copper covers; then they move along the guide rail 3210 to above the positioning fixture 1000 and move downwards to place the picked-up copper covers into the mounting holes 101 of the battery cover 10 on the two positioning supports 1100 respectively, thereby realizing the picking up of the copper covers and their rapid assembly with the two battery cover 10s.

[0059] In this embodiment, multiple pick-and-place mechanisms 3220 and positioning supports 1100 are arranged simultaneously to realize the assembly of copper covers on multiple battery cover plates 10; the positioning fixture 1000 provides positioning space for multiple battery cover plates 10. After multiple battery cover plates 10 are positioned, the structure is stable and will not bend or deform when they move or are assembled on the production line at the same time. This can meet the requirements for the flatness of the battery cover plate 10 when installing positive terminal posts, negative terminal posts, copper covers, or welding explosion-proof sheets, thereby improving the yield and work efficiency of the assembly.

[0060] refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the positioning enclosure 1102 includes three positioning enclosure blocks, which are respectively located at the end in the length direction and on both sides in the width direction. In this embodiment, a total of six positioning enclosure blocks are arranged around the circumference of the battery cover 10 to enclose and limit the battery cover 10. This works together with the positioning boss 1101 to prevent the battery cover 10 from slipping on the surface of the positioning support 1100 when the positioning fixture 1000 moves on the production line, which would prevent the terminal posts and other components from being assembled in the preset manner, or cause product scrap due to assembly position deviation.

[0061] refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the positioning boss 1101 is square and protrudes 2-5mm from the top surface. Actual usage tests show that the positioning boss 1101, with this design shape and size, will not be too high, causing the center to be suspended, nor too low, causing damage to the surface of the battery cover 10 where it contacts the positioning support 1100. This ensures stable positioning and support for the electrode mounting portions on both sides of the battery cover 10 along its length. Once positioned, the battery cover 10 is structurally stable and will not bend or deform. This meets the flatness requirements of the battery cover 10 when installing positive and negative terminals, copper covers, or welding explosion-proof sheets, thus improving the assembly yield.

[0062] refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the copper cover providing component 3100 further includes a vibrating screening mechanism 3110 connected to the input end of the conveyor table. The vibrating screening mechanism 3110 is used to screen and sequentially convey copper covers to the copper cover acquisition station through the conveyor table.

[0063] refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the conveyor 3120 is equipped with photoelectric sensors 3130 at the locations corresponding to the two copper covers being acquired. The photoelectric sensors 3130 are connected to the central control system and are used to detect whether there are copper covers at their locations and feed back to the central control system. The central control system controls the vibrating screening mechanism 3110 to start and convey the copper covers based on the detection results.

[0064] Specifically, after the copper cover is acquired by the pick-and-place mechanism 3220, the photoelectric sensor 3130 detects that there is no copper cover at the copper cover acquisition station and sends feedback to the central control system. Based on the detection result, the central control system controls the vibrating screening mechanism 3110 to start and transport the copper cover. After the copper cover arrives at the copper cover acquisition station, the photoelectric sensor 3130 detects that there is a copper cover at the copper cover acquisition station and sends feedback to the central control system. Based on the detection result, the central control system controls the vibrating screening mechanism 3110 to stop transporting.

[0065] In this embodiment, the vibrating screening mechanism 3110 uses vibration to arrange the copper covers sequentially along the length of the conveyor table and continuously transport them one by one away from the vibrating screening mechanism 3110. This rhythmic transport allows for rhythmic coordination with the photoelectric sensor 3130, avoiding continuous transmission, failure to respond to signals in a timely manner, and pauses during the transport process. This embodiment enables continuous automatic transport without manual handling, ensuring the transport rate and preventing contamination of the copper covers by manual transport.

[0066] refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, a cover plate 3121 is provided on the surface of the conveyor table 3120 between the copper cover acquisition stations. The cover plate 3121 is used to shield the copper cover and prevent the copper cover between the two copper cover acquisition stations from being accidentally adsorbed due to improper operation.

For example, the above expressions are not intended to limit the order or importance of corresponding elements. The above expressions are used to distinguish one component from another.
