Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lithium battery assembly, and particularly relates to a lithium battery assembly training device. Background Art

[0002] As shown in the existing lithium battery in the attached instruction manual Figure 1 It includes end caps 1' at both ends, two insulating plates 2' inside the end caps 1', battery cores 3' between the two insulating plates 2', and side plates 4' on both sides. The end caps 1', insulating plates 2', and battery cores 3' need to be bonded by gluing to form a semi-finished lithium battery. After bonding, the side plates need to be welded to form a finished lithium battery. However, the existing equipment is too large in size and its relative cost is relatively high, which is not suitable for application in trainee training. Therefore, a training device is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention: In order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a lithium battery assembly training device, which can simulate the entire working process of lithium battery assembly, facilitating trainees to conduct training, that is, reducing the learning cost and enabling trainees to fully understand the operation process.

[0004] The present invention discloses a lithium battery assembly training device, including a machine base, and a cleaning, gluing station, a stacking station, and a side plate welding station are arranged on the machine base;

[0005] The cleaning and gluing station includes a support frame, a flipping frame rotatably arranged on the support frame, a flipping frame driving member for driving the flipping frame to flip, and a first manipulator for transporting, cleaning, and gluing the battery core, insulating plate, and end cap. A clamp for clamping the battery core, insulating plate, or end cap and a clamp driving member for driving the clamp to open and close are arranged on the flipping frame;

[0006] The stacking station includes a abutting frame and a support table. The support table and the abutting frame cooperate to form a stacking area. It also includes a first clamping assembly for clamping on opposite sides of the stacking area. An end cap abutting surface for the end cap to abut, an insulating plate abutting surface for the insulating plate to abut, and a battery core abutting surface for the battery core to abut are arranged on the abutting frame. The end cap abutting surface includes an upper end cap abutting surface and a lower end cap abutting surface. The lower end cap abutting surface extends outward beyond the insulating plate abutting surface so that the end cap is located in the middle of the insulating plate. An upper end cap abutting member is also arranged on the abutting frame, and the upper end cap abutting surface is arranged on the upper end cap abutting member. Abutting driving members for driving the upper end cap abutting member to slide inwards or outwards are also arranged on the abutting frame;

[0007] The side plate welding station includes an assembly rack. An assembly area for placing semi-finished lithium batteries is provided on the assembly rack. It also includes a second robot arm for transporting the side plates to the assembly area for welding and for transporting semi-finished lithium batteries and finished lithium batteries. Side plate suction attachments for adsorbing the side plates transported by the second robot arm are provided on both sides of the assembly area. A side plate driving member for driving the two side plate suction attachments to approach or move away from each other is also provided on the assembly rack. Second clamping assemblies for clamping the semi-finished lithium batteries are provided at both ends of the assembly rack corresponding to the assembly area.

[0008] A first storage rack is provided beside the first robot arm on the machine base. A plasma cleaning head, a glue application head, and a first clamping head for the first robot arm to exchange at its head are provided on the first storage rack. A second storage rack is provided beside the second robot arm on the machine base. A second clamping head, a side plate suction head, and a welding head for the second robot arm to exchange at its head are provided on the second storage rack. The robot arm can achieve different functions by changing the head, without the need to set multiple heads on the robot arm simultaneously, making it more flexible during operation. The head of the robot arm is preferably replaced using a solenoid valve or a pneumatic valve, and the replacement speed is relatively fast.

[0009] With the above technical solution, during training, first, the first robot arm transports the end cap, insulating plate, or battery core to the fixture position and releases it. At the same time, the fixture driving member drives the fixture to clamp it. After clamping, the flipping frame driving member can drive the flipping frame to rotate and turn over for plasma cleaning. After cleaning, glue is applied. After the glue application is completed, the flipping frame rotates back to its original position. Then, the first robot arm clamps the battery core, end cap, or insulating plate after glue application and moves it to the stacking area for sequential stacking. The first clamping assembly can prevent the end cap, insulating plate, and battery core in the stacking area from slipping to both sides, making the stacking more stable. The end cap, insulating plate, and battery core usually have different widths according to the setting, so when they abut, the abutting surfaces are not on the same plane. By multiple abutting surfaces, the end cap, insulating plate, and battery core can be abutted respectively, and the upper end cap abutting member can slide without hindering the stacking of the battery core and insulating plate. After stacking, a semi-finished lithium battery is formed. Then, the second robot arm transports it to the assembly area. At this time, the second clamping assembly clamps the end cap to prevent it from slipping to both ends. Then, the second robot arm transports the side plate to the side plate suction attachment and releases the side plate. The side plate suction attachment adsorbs the side plate and drives the side plate suction attachment to slide through the side plate driving member, causing the side plate to be pressed against the side of the semi-finished lithium battery. At this time, the side plate pressed against the side of the semi-finished lithium battery can prevent it from slipping to the side. Then, the second robot arm welds the side plate, and the simulation of the entire process can be achieved. After welding, the second robot arm clamps and transports the finished lithium battery, which can display the overall assembly process of the lithium battery, that is, it reduces the learning cost and allows the trainees to fully understand the operation process.

[0010] The present invention is further provided with: a sensor for detecting the resetting of the flip frame is also provided on the support frame, and a positioning column corresponding to the sensor is provided on the flip frame. When the flip frame returns to its original position, the positioning column is arranged opposite to the sensor.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the turning frame can be tested after being reset, thereby ensuring that the turning frame is at the same position each time it returns, making it more accurate during cleaning and gluing.

[0012] The present invention is further configured as follows: the first clamping assembly comprises a baffle rotatably mounted on the abutment frame and a baffle driving member for driving the baffle to rotate; one side of the baffle is hingedly mounted on the abutment frame, and a hook plate extends from the other side opposite thereto.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the baffle can prevent the end caps, insulating plates and battery cells in the stacking area from sliding to the sides thereof, making them more stable when stacking, and the rotation clamping can play a partial positioning role. When the baffle is rotated to the stacking area, the hook plate can be hooked on the outside of the end caps, insulating plates and battery cells, thereby further preventing the end caps, insulating plates and battery cells from sliding outwards, and preventing the end caps, insulating plates and battery cells from being thrown out during rotation, making them more stable during rotation.

[0014] A further configuration of the present invention includes a rotating table and a rotating table driving component for driving the rotating table to rotate, an assembly frame is arranged on the rotating table and rotates synchronously with the rotating table, a side pressure plate is arranged on the assembly frame corresponding to the assembly area, the side pressure plate cooperates with the side plate driving component, the side pressure plate includes an inner plate and an outer plate, the side plate adsorption component is arranged on the outer plate and exposes the inner plate arrangement, and a pressing surface for pressing the side plate is formed on the side of the inner plate facing the assembly area.

[0015] By adopting the above technical scheme, the rotation of the rotating table can facilitate the loading of lithium battery semi-finished products and the unloading of lithium battery finished products, and it can also facilitate the reversal of welding of the side panels. The side pressure plate drives the side panel adsorption parts to slide, making the overall movement more stable. During welding, the inner plate is pressed on the side panel to further increase the pressing area, which improves stability.

[0016] The present invention is further configured as follows: the second clamping assembly includes end pressure plates located at both ends of the assembly area and an end pressure plate driving member for driving the end pressure plates to move closer or further away; the assembly area is also provided with a support platform for supporting the bottom of the end cover; the assembly frame is also provided with a pressure member for pressing the end cover onto the support platform and a pressure driving member for driving the pressure member to extend and retract to achieve pressure.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the two ends of the lithium battery semi-finished product can be clamped by driving one or two end pressure plates to move through the end pressure plate driving member. The lithium battery semi-finished product can be clamped up and down to prevent it from moving, making it more stable during welding.

[0018] A further configuration of the present invention includes a reversing table and a reversing table driving component for driving the reversing table to rotate, a support frame and a support table are directly or indirectly arranged on the reversing table and rotate synchronously therewith, the support frame, the support table and the first clamping assembly cooperate to form a group of stacking tables, and at least two groups of stacking tables are arranged on the reversing table.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the stacked lithium battery accessories can be rotated to the next station by rotating the reversing table, and the empty stacking table can be rotated to the original position for stacking, which can increase the stacking efficiency.

[0020] The present invention is further configured as follows: the upper end surface of the support platform is inclined inwardly to form a sloped support surface, and the inner side of the sloped support surface is lower than the outer side.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, when stacking, the end covers, insulating plates and battery cells slide inwards according to the inclination of the slope support surface until they abut against the corresponding abutment surface, which can prevent the end covers, insulating plates and battery cells from sliding outwards.

[0022] A further configuration of the present invention is that the clamp comprises two clamp arms arranged opposite to each other, and the two clamp arms cooperate to form a clamping area. The clamp driving member can drive at least one of the clamp arms to slide, so as to realize the two clamp arms approaching or moving away from each other. A positioning block and a positioning block driving member for driving the positioning block to rise and fall are also provided on the flip frame. The positioning block is located at the bottom of the clamping area. A limit block for limiting the rotation angle is provided on the support frame and located on the rotation trajectory of the flip frame.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning block can prevent the material from falling during assembly, and the lifting of the positioning block can be applied to materials of more specifications. The limit block can limit the rotation angle of the turning frame to prevent it from rotating too much.

[0024] Further configuration of the present invention: the flip frame includes two swing arms and a crossbeam transversely arranged between the two swing arms, the clamp arms and the clamp driving component are both arranged on the crossbeam, and the clamp driving component can drive one of the clamp arms to slide along the length direction of the crossbeam, the support frame is arranged in a U shape as a whole, the flip frame driving component is arranged on one side of the flip frame and cooperates with the flip frame, and the upper parts of the two swing arms are hingedly arranged on the inner side of the support frame.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the layout is more reasonable, and the swing arm can swing the crossbeam partially backwards, which can reduce the extent to which the end cover, the insulating plate and the battery core protrude forward after the swing.

[0042] The present invention discloses a lithium battery assembly training device. In an embodiment of the present invention, it includes a machine base 1, and a cleaning and gluing station 2, a stacking station 3, and a side plate welding station 4 are provided on the machine base 1;

[0043] The cleaning and gluing station 2 includes a support frame 21, a turning frame 22 rotatably arranged on the support frame 21, a turning frame driving member 23 for driving the turning frame 22 to turn, and a first manipulator 5 for transporting, cleaning, and gluing the end cap 1', the insulating plate 2', and the battery core 3'. A fixture 24 for clamping the end cap 1', the insulating plate 2', and the battery core 3' and a fixture driving member 25 for driving the fixture 24 to open and close are provided on the turning frame 22;

[0044] The stacking station 3 includes a abutment frame 31 and a support table 32. The support table 32 and the abutment frame 31 cooperate to form a stacking area 33. It further includes a first clamping assembly 34 for clamping on opposite sides of the stacking area 33. An end cap abutment surface for the end cap 1' to abut, an insulating plate abutment surface 36 for the insulating plate 2' to abut, and a battery core abutment surface 37 for the battery core 3' to abut are provided on the abutment frame 31. The end cap abutment surface includes an upper end cap abutment surface 351 and a lower end cap abutment surface 352. The lower end cap abutment surface 352 extends outward beyond the insulating plate abutment surface 36 so that the end cap 1' is located in the middle of the insulating plate 2'. An upper end cap abutting member 38 is further provided on the abutment frame 31, and the upper end cap abutment surface 351 is provided on the upper end cap abutting member 38. Abutment driving member 39 for driving the upper end cap abutting member 38 to slide inward or outward is further provided on the abutment frame 31;

[0045] The side plate welding station 4 includes an assembly rack 41. An assembly area 42 for placing semi-finished lithium batteries is provided on the assembly rack 41. It further includes a second manipulator 6 for transporting the side plate 4' to the assembly area 42 for welding and for transporting semi-finished lithium batteries and finished lithium batteries. Side plate suction attachments 43 for adsorbing the side plate 4' transported by the second manipulator 6 are provided on both sides of the assembly area 42. A side plate driving member 44 for driving the two side plate suction attachments 43 to approach or separate is further provided on the assembly rack 41. Second clamping assemblies 45 for clamping semi-finished lithium batteries are provided at both ends of the assembly rack 41 corresponding to the assembly area 42. The end cap 1', the insulating plate 2', the battery core 3', and the side plate 4' can all be pre-stored through a storage rack or a feeding bin for easy picking by the manipulator. This technology belongs to the common knowledge of those skilled in the art and will not be introduced in detail herein;

[0046] A first storage rack 7 is provided on the machine base 1 beside the first manipulator 5. A plasma cleaning head 71, an adhesive application head 72, and a first jaw head 73 for the first manipulator 5 to replace the head are provided on the first storage rack 7. A second storage rack 8 is provided on the machine base 1 beside the second manipulator 6. A second jaw head 81, a side plate suction head 82, and a welding head 83 for the second manipulator 6 to replace the head are provided on the second storage rack 8. The manipulator can achieve different functions by replacing the head, without setting multiple heads on the manipulator at the same time, making it more flexible in operation. The manipulator head is preferably replaced by a solenoid valve or a pneumatic valve, and the replacement speed is relatively fast.

[0047] With the above technical solution, during the training, first, the first manipulator 5 picks up the first jaw head 73 to transport the end cap 1', insulating plate 2', or battery cell 3' to the position of the fixture 24 and releases it. At the same time, the fixture driving member 25 drives the fixture 24 to clamp it. After clamping, the tilting frame driving member 23 can drive the entire tilting frame 22 to rotate and turn over. Then, the first manipulator 5 replaces it with a plasma cleaning head for plasma cleaning. After the cleaning is completed, the first manipulator 5 replaces it with a glue application head for glue application. After the glue application is completed, the tilting frame 22 rotates and resets. The first manipulator 5 then replaces it with the first jaw head 73 to move the end cap 1', insulating plate 2', or battery cell 3' after glue application to the stacking area 33 for sequential stacking. The first clamping assembly 34 can prevent the end cap 1', insulating plate 2', and battery cell 3' in the stacking area 33 from sliding to both sides, making the stacking more stable. The end cap 1', insulating plate 2', and battery cell 3' usually have different widths according to the setting, so when they abut, the abutting surfaces are not on the same plane. By multiple abutting surfaces, the end cap 1', insulating plate 2', and battery cell 3' can be abutted respectively, and the upper end cap abutting member 38 can slide without hindering the stacking of the battery cell 3' and the insulating plate 2'. After the stacking is completed, a lithium battery semi-finished product is formed. Then, the second manipulator 6 replaces it with the second jaw head 81 to transport the lithium battery semi-finished product to the assembly area 42 and releases it. At this time, the second clamping assembly 45 clamps the end cap 1' to prevent it from sliding to both ends. Then, the second manipulator 6 replaces it with a side plate suction head 82 to transport the side plate 4' to the side plate suction member 43 and releases the side plate 4'. At this time, the side plate suction member 43 sucks the side plate 4' and drives the side plate suction member 43 to slide through the side plate driving member 44, causing the side plate 4' to be pressed on the side of the lithium battery semi-finished product (the side plate suction member 43 is most preferably a suction nozzle, and of course, it can also be a suction cup, etc.). At this time, the side plate 4' being pressed on the side of the lithium battery semi-finished product can prevent it from sliding to the side. Then, the second manipulator 6 replaces it with a welding head to weld the side plate 4'. After the welding is completed, the second manipulator 6 replaces it with the second jaw head 81 to take out the lithium battery finished product (most preferably, the second jaw head 81 has two parts. One is a four-jaw that can clamp the four sides of the lithium battery semi-finished product to prevent the end cap 1', insulating plate 2', and battery cell 3' from shifting, and the second is a two-jaw that can be used for clamping). The simulation of the entire process can be achieved. After the welding is completed, the second manipulator 6 clamps and transports the lithium battery finished product, which can display the overall assembly process of the lithium battery, that is, it reduces the learning cost and allows the trainees to fully understand the operation process.

[0048] A sensor 9 for detecting the reset of the flipping frame 22 is further provided on the support frame 21. A positioning post 10 corresponding to the sensor 9 is provided on the flipping frame 22. When the flipping frame 22 returns to its position, the positioning post 10 and the sensor 9 are arranged opposite to each other, which can detect the flipping frame 22 after it is reset, so as to ensure that the flipping frame 22 returns to the same position each time, making it more accurate during cleaning and gluing. When the positioning post 10 rotates to be arranged opposite to the acquisition end of the sensor 9, the sensor 9 can collect signals, thereby realizing the acquisition of the position signal of the flipping frame 22. Of course, it can also be realized by a positioning block or a positioning hole corresponding to the sensor 9 to collect signals. The sensor 9 can be an infrared sensor or a vision sensor.

[0049] The first clamping assembly 34 includes a baffle 341 rotatably arranged on the abutting frame 31 and a baffle driving member 342 for driving the baffle 341 to rotate. One side of the baffle 341 is hinged to the abutting frame 31, and a hook plate 3411 extends from the other side opposite to it. The baffle 341 can prevent the end caps 1', insulating plates 2' and battery cores 3' in the stacking area 33 from sliding to both sides, making it more stable during stacking. And the rotational clamping can play a partial centering role. When the baffle 341 rotates to the stacking area 33, the hook plate 3411 can be hooked on the outside of the end caps 1', insulating plates 2' and battery cores 3', further preventing the end caps 1', insulating plates 2' and battery cores 3' from sliding outwards, and preventing the end caps 1', insulating plates 2' and battery cores 3' from being thrown out during rotation, making it more stable during rotation. When the baffle driving member 342 is a cylinder or an electric cylinder, the connecting end of the baffle driving member 342 is hinged to the abutting frame 31, and the output end is hinged to the baffle 341. Of course, the baffle 341 can also slide to the stacking area 33 to realize clamping. The specific installation method belongs to the common knowledge of those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail herein.

[0050] It further includes a rotating table 20 and a rotating table driving member 30 for driving the rotation of the rotating table 20. The assembly rack 41 is arranged on the rotating table 20 and rotates synchronously therewith. A side pressing plate 40 is arranged on the assembly rack 41 corresponding to the position of the assembly area 42. The side pressing plate 40 is in linkage cooperation with the side plate driving member 44. The side pressing plate 40 includes an inner plate 401 and an outer plate 402. A side plate adsorbing member 43 is arranged on the outer plate 402 and is arranged to expose the inner plate 401. A pressing surface for pressing the side plate 4 is formed on one side of the inner plate 401 facing the assembly area 42. By rotating the rotating table 20, it is convenient for loading the semi-finished lithium battery and unloading the finished lithium battery, and it is also convenient for reversing to weld the side plate 4'. When the side pressing plate 40 drives the side plate adsorbing member 43 to slide, the overall movement is more stable. And when welding, the inner plate 401 is pressed on the side plate 4' to further increase the pressing area and the stability is better. Most preferably, an infrared sensor can be set to detect or monitor the rotation angle of the rotating table 20, so as to facilitate the control of its rotation angle.

[0051] The second clamping assembly 45 includes end pressing plates 451 located at both ends of the assembly area 42 and an end pressing plate driving member 452 for driving the two end pressing plates 451 to approach or separate. A supporting table 50 for supporting the bottom of the end cover 1' is also arranged on the assembly area 42. An abutting member 60 for pressing the end cover 1' on the supporting table 50 and an abutting driving member 70 for driving the telescopic movement of the abutting member 60 to achieve abutting are also arranged on the assembly rack 41. By driving one or two end pressing plates 451 to move by the end pressing plate driving member 452, the two ends of the semi-finished lithium battery can be pressed tightly, and the semi-finished lithium battery can be pressed tightly up and down to prevent it from moving around, and it is more stable during welding.

[0052] It further includes a reversing table 80 and a reversing table driving member 90 for driving the rotation of the reversing table 80. The abutting frame 31 and the supporting table 32 are directly or indirectly arranged on the reversing table 80 and rotate synchronously therewith. The abutting frame 31, the supporting table 32 and the first clamping assembly 34 cooperate to form a stacking table. There are at least 2 groups of stacking tables on the reversing table 80. By rotating the reversing table 80, the stacked lithium battery accessories can be rotated to the next working station, and the empty stacking table can be rotated to the original position for stacking, which can increase the stacking efficiency. Most preferably, an infrared sensor is set to detect the rotation angle of the reversing table, so as to facilitate the control of its rotation angle.

[0053] The upper end surface of the supporting table 32 is inclined inward to form a slope supporting surface, with the inner side of the slope supporting surface lower than the outer side. When the end cover 1', the insulating plate 2' and the battery core 3' are stacked, they slide inward according to the slope of the slope supporting surface and abut against the corresponding abutting surfaces, which can further prevent the end cover 1', the insulating plate 2' and the battery core 3' from sliding outward.

[0054] The clamp 24 includes two clamp arms 241 arranged opposite to each other, and the two clamp arms 241 cooperate to form a clamping area (it is most preferred to detect the situation of the material in the clamping area through a sensor to prevent the equipment from running dry). The clamp driver 25 can drive at least one of the clamp arms 241 to slide, so as to achieve the approach or distance between the two clamp arms 241. The flip frame 22 is also provided with a positioning block 100 and a positioning block driver 200 for driving the positioning block 100 to rise and fall. The positioning block 100 is located at the bottom of the clamping area. The support frame 21 is provided with a limit block 300 located on the rotation trajectory of the flip frame 22 for limiting its rotation angle. The positioning block 100 can prevent the material from falling during assembly, and can be suitable for materials of more specifications by lifting and lowering the positioning block 100. The limit block 300 can limit the rotation angle of the flip frame 22 to prevent it from rotating too much.

[0055] The flip frame 22 includes two swing arms 221 and a crossbeam 222 horizontally arranged between the two swing arms 221. The clamp arms 241 and the clamp driving member 25 are both arranged on the crossbeam 222, and the clamp driving member 25 can drive one of the clamp arms 241 to slide along the length direction of the crossbeam. The support frame 21 is arranged in a U shape as a whole. The flip frame driving member 23 is arranged on one side of the flip frame 22 and cooperates with the flip frame 22. The upper parts of the two swing arms 221 are hingedly arranged on the inner side of the support frame 21, and the layout is more reasonable. The swing of the swing arm 221 can make the crossbeam 222 partially swing backward when it swings, which can reduce the extent to which the end cover 1', the insulating plate 2', and the battery core 3' protrude forward after the swing.
