Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of fasteners, and particularly relates to a battery pack fastener with high sealing performance and an inspection and assembly machine for the fastener. Background Art
[0002] In an electric vehicle battery pack, in order to maintain the internal heat balance of the battery pack, heat dissipation pipelines need to be arranged inside the battery pack, and columnar structural members are used to support the cover plates on both sides of the battery pack to maintain the heat dissipation space. Then, fasteners are used to fix the structural members to prevent the battery pack from deforming. The fastener is usually composed of a head and a screw rod. To prevent dust or foreign liquid from entering the battery pack through the screwing part of the fastener, a rubber gasket is arranged between the head of the fastener and the support column to improve the sealing effect of the fastener. At the same time, to prevent the gasket for sealing from shifting and generating gaps during installation, selecting an integrally fixed gasket and the head can effectively avoid this situation. There are two existing methods for fixing the gasket. One is to use adhesive to fix the gasket, but it is easy to separate and fall off from the head of the fastener due to friction during the screwing process, and the fixing effect of the gasket is not good. The other is to set an annular groove along the edge of the screw rod on the head, and a clamping groove is arranged on the side wall of the annular groove. A fixing protrusion is arranged on the gasket. When the gasket is pressed into the annular groove, the protrusion is clamped into the clamping groove. When screwing, the protrusion abuts against the inner wall of the clamping groove to prevent the gasket from rotating and avoid the gasket from falling off. However, when assembling the gasket, the protrusion needs to be inserted into the clamping groove accurately. During machine assembly, it is easy for the protrusion and the clamping groove to be misaligned, and when the gasket is pressed into the annular groove, the protrusion is damaged, resulting in the annular groove being unable to fix the gasket. When the fastener is screwed with the support column, the gasket falls off and loses the sealing effect. Due to the small volume of the fastener and the gasket, the existing assembly equipment cannot guarantee the accuracy of the position and the force during the feeding of the fastener and the installation of the gasket. As a result, the fastener is not placed in place during feeding, or the fastener collides with the components on the equipment and generates a position shift, or the force is uneven when the gasket is pressed into the annular groove, resulting in the gasket not being installed in place on the fastener, causing partial or overall separation between the two, and the fastener being in a toppled state, which will also conflict with the position of the components of the equipment, resulting in damage to the fastener and the equipment and an increase in production costs. After the gasket is installed, an optical detection mechanism is usually arranged on one side of the equipment to detect the fastener from the side to judge whether the raised gasket image can be detected above the annular groove, so as to determine whether the gasket is installed in place. However, this detection process cannot obtain which part of the gasket is not installed in place. During manual processing, the gasket also needs to be pressed in as a whole, which is time-consuming and laborious. Therefore, designing a battery pack fastener with high sealing performance that can improve the fixing effect of the sealing ring and prevent the sealing ring from being damaged and an inspection and assembly machine for the fastener has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a battery pack fastener with high sealing performance and an inspection and assembly machine for the fastener.
[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is a battery pack fastener with high sealing performance, including a head and a screw part, both made of metal. A sealing washer is connected between the head and the screw part. The sealing washer is perpendicular to the screw part. An annular groove is provided on the sealing washer along the circumferential direction of the screw part. A rubber ring is correspondingly clamped in the annular groove. A number of fixing bumps are arranged at equal intervals on the edge of the groove opening of the annular groove. The top of the rubber ring is closely attached to the number of fixing bumps. An arc-shaped extrusion surface is provided on the side of the fixing bump facing the pressing rubber ring; Chamfering is performed on the edge of the groove opening of the annular groove and the top edge of the fixing bump to form a guiding inclined surface; The fixing bump is integrally formed with the sealing washer by cold heading process.
[0005] After adopting the above method, by pressing the rubber ring into the annular groove, a number of fixing bumps on the edge of the groove opening of the annular groove press the top of the rubber ring. The annular groove is arranged along the circumferential direction of the screw part. During the process of screwing the fastener, the direction of the frictional force received by the rubber ring is the same as the extending direction of the annular groove, preventing the frictional force from pushing the rubber ring out of the annular groove. At the same time, the rubber ring is fixed by the fixing bumps, without the need to modify the rubber ring, maintaining the versatility of the rubber ring; By providing an arc-shaped extrusion surface on the side of the fixing bump facing the pressing rubber ring, and chamfering is performed on the edge of the groove opening of the annular groove and the top edge of the fixing bump to form a guiding inclined surface, the guiding inclined surface is convenient for guiding the rubber ring to be aligned and enter the annular groove, avoiding damage caused by misalignment when pressing the rubber ring into the annular groove; By the arc-shaped extrusion surface on the fixing bump contacting the rubber ring, when the rubber ring rotates in the annular groove under the action of frictional force, it is avoided that the fixing bump scratches the rubber ring; By the cold heading process, the fixing bump is integrally formed with the sealing washer, improving the surface finish and machining accuracy of the fixing bump, with low loss to the sealing washer, which helps to improve the production efficiency of the fastener.

A number of placement grooves are arranged at equal intervals along the circumferential direction on the top surface of the horizontal turntable. A turntable shaft is provided along the axis of the horizontal turntable. The placement grooves are adapted to the heads of the battery pack fasteners. A turntable motor is connected to the lower end of the turntable shaft for cooperative drive, and the turntable motor is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the processing chamber; The assembly component includes a number of pneumatic bolt clamps, electromagnetic sensors, washer clamps and optical detection mechanisms. The number of pneumatic bolt clamps, electromagnetic sensors and washer clamps are all connected with moving cylinders. The moving cylinders are connected with translation tracks, and the translation tracks are connected with lifting mechanisms, and the lifting mechanisms are connected with the inner wall of the processing chamber; The number of pneumatic bolt clamps includes a feeding clamp, a finished product discharging clamp and a defective product discharging clamp; The electromagnetic sensor is provided with an induction chamber; The washer clamp includes a suction column and a pressing ring. The suction column is perpendicular to the horizontal turntable. A suction chamber is provided at the bottom of the side surface of the suction column. A separation net is covered at the orifice of the suction chamber. The suction chamber is connected with an air delivery pipe, and the air delivery pipe is connected with a negative pressure fan. The pressing ring is movably sleeved outside the suction column. The bottom surface of the pressing ring is provided with extrusion bumps corresponding to the fixed bumps. The processing chamber is also connected with a downward pressing cylinder, and the downward pressing cylinder is correspondingly arranged above the pressing ring for cooperative linkage; The feeding clamp, electromagnetic sensor, washer clamp, optical detection mechanism, finished product discharging clamp and defective product discharging clamp are sequentially arranged above a number of placement grooves; The installation machine is also provided with a number of conveyor belts, and the positions of the number of conveyor belts are respectively adapted to the positions of the pneumatic bolt clamps and the washer clamps; The controller is provided with a switch button and an operation button, and the controller is electrically connected to the turntable motor, moving cylinder, lifting mechanism, pneumatic bolt clamp, electromagnetic sensor, moving cylinder, negative pressure fan, downward pressing cylinder and conveyor belt.
[0007] After adopting the above method, various components are electrically connected through the controller, so that the switch buttons and operation buttons on the controller can be used to control the operation of other components; the horizontal turntable is driven to rotate by intermittently starting the turntable motor, so that the placement slots on the horizontal turntable are aligned with different assembly components above in turn. During the rest period of the turntable motor, the moving cylinder is started to move horizontally along the translation track, and the lifting mechanism is combined to move vertically, so that the pneumatic bolt clamp, electromagnetic sensor and gasket clamp can move freely on the vertical plane, which is convenient for the assembly components to perform various assembly operations; the battery pack fasteners are clamped from the conveyor belt at the corresponding position through the movement of the loading clamp and placed on the horizontal turntable, so that the heads of the fasteners are placed in the placement slots accordingly to prevent the fasteners from being relatively The horizontal turntable slides; the electromagnetic sensor is driven down by the lifting mechanism, so that the fastener above the placement slot enters the sensing cavity, the electromagnetic sensor is started to detect whether there is a fastener on the placement slot through electromagnetic induction, and feedback is given to the controller when the fastener is not detected; the bottom of the suction column is inserted into the rubber ring on the conveyor belt by moving the gasket clamp, the suction cavity at the bottom of the side is aligned with and fits the inner circumference of the rubber ring, the negative pressure fan is controlled to start, and the air in the suction cavity is discharged through the air supply pipe to form a negative pressure, the rubber ring is adsorbed on the isolation net, and the gasket clamp is moved again to align the rubber ring with the annular groove of the fastener, the negative pressure fan stops working to make the rubber ring naturally fall onto the annular groove, and the lower air cylinder is controlled to start, and the lower pressure cylinder pushes the pressure ring downward to squeeze the rubber The rubber ring is pressed into the annular groove, and extrusion convex points corresponding to the fixed convex points are arranged on the bottom surface of the pressure ring to increase the downward pressure on the corresponding position of the rubber ring, so as to avoid the rubber ring being not completely pressed into the annular groove due to the obstruction of the fixed convex points; the image of the fastener is detected from the side by an optical detection mechanism, and compared with the image of the standard fastener, to determine whether there is a part of the rubber ring that is not pressed into the annular groove, and the detection result is sent to the controller for processing; the controller controls the finished product unloading clamp to clamp the qualified fasteners and put them on the corresponding conveyor belt according to the detection result of the optical detection mechanism during the rotation of the horizontal turntable, and uses the defective unloading clamp to put the unqualified fasteners on the remaining conveyor belts, and the unqualified fasteners are separated from the qualified products for recycling, which is convenient for personnel The unqualified fasteners are processed twice; by controlling the conveyor belt to use the same intermittent time as the turntable motor when running, it is convenient to load and unload the fasteners and rubber rings in time during the rotation of the horizontal turntable to avoid gaps in the assembly process; the assembly components are placed on the horizontal turntable in turn, the placement is tested, the rubber rings are installed, the installation effect is tested, the finished products are unloaded, and the defective products are unloaded, and the rubber rings are automatically pressed into the annular groove, which saves manpower and material resources and improves assembly efficiency. The extrusion convex point corresponds to the fixed convex point. When the pressure ring presses the rubber ring into the annular groove, the pressure on the rubber ring at the contact with the fixed convex point can be increased to prevent the fixed convex point from blocking the rubber ring from being installed in place, thereby improving the assembly success rate and reducing production costs.
[0008] As a further improvement of the present invention, a support plate is provided at the top of the suction column. One side of the support plate is connected to a moving cylinder. The support plate is provided with a pair of guiding through holes, both of the pair of guiding through holes are parallel to the suction column. A transmission rod is inserted into the guiding through holes. The bottom end of the transmission rod is connected to the outer side of a pressing ring. A lower pressing plate is connected between the top ends of the transmission rods. A return spring is connected between the lower pressing plate and the support plate. The return spring is sleeved on the outer side of the transmission rod. The position of the lower pressing cylinder corresponds to that of the lower pressing plate.
[0009] After adopting the above method, by operating the controller to press down and reset the lower pressing cylinder, during the downward process, the lower pressing plate is squeezed downward. The lower pressing plate pushes the transmission rod to move downward along the guiding through hole. The transmission rod drives the pressing ring to move and press the rubber ring into the annular groove. The cooperation between the transmission rod and the lower pressing plate extends the force application distance of the lower pressing cylinder, preventing the lower pressing cylinder from being blocked by the suction column and unable to effectively press down the pressing ring. By connecting a return spring between the lower pressing plate and the support plate, when the lower pressing plate moves downward, it cooperates with the support plate to squeeze the return spring to contract. While the lower pressing cylinder resets, the return spring can exert force to push the lower pressing plate back to its original position automatically. By sleeving the return spring on the outer side of the transmission rod, the transmission rod supports the return spring inside to prevent the return spring from being bent and damaged to the side.
[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention, the horizontal turntable is further provided with a movable hole, a guiding sleeve and a placing seat corresponding to the position of the placing groove. The movable hole penetrates the horizontal turntable in the vertical direction. A limiting block is provided along the circumference at the bottom of the movable hole. The placing seat is inserted into the movable hole. A guiding column is further provided on the side surface of the placing seat. The guiding sleeve is sleeved on the side surface of the placing seat. A pair of driving blocks are provided on the bottom surface of the guiding sleeve. The pair of driving blocks extend out from the lower end of the movable hole. A strip-shaped through hole is further provided on the side wall of the guiding sleeve. A threaded guiding groove is provided on the inner wall of the limiting block. The position of the guiding groove corresponds to that of the strip-shaped through hole. The pair of guiding columns correspondingly pass through the pair of strip-shaped through holes and are inserted into the bottom of the guiding groove. The horizontal cross-sections of the movable hole, the guiding sleeve and the placing seat are circular structures that fit together. The strip-shaped through hole is parallel to the axis of the movable hole. An annular support plate is provided at the top of the guiding sleeve. The annular support plate correspondingly presses on the limiting block. The placing groove is correspondingly arranged on the top surface of the placing seat. A driving motor is fixedly provided on the bottom surface of the processing cavity. A driving rotating shaft is connected to the top of the driving motor for cooperative linkage. The position of the driving rotating shaft corresponds to the axis of the movable hole. A driving plate is connected to the top end of the driving rotating shaft. A pair of arc-shaped grooves are provided on the top surface of the driving plate. The positions of the pair of arc-shaped grooves respectively adapt to the pair of driving blocks. The arc-shaped grooves penetrate to the side surface of the driving plate. The controller is electrically connected to the driving motor.
[0011] After adopting the above method, by rotating the horizontal turntable, the fastener with the rubber ring installed is moved to the optical detection mechanism. At the same time, a pair of driving blocks on the bottom surface of the guiding sleeve enter the arc-shaped groove from the side surface of the driving plate. The operation controller starts the driving motor, and through the transmission of the driving rotating shaft, the driving plate and the driving blocks, the guiding sleeve is driven to rotate around the axis of the movable hole. The side wall of the strip-shaped through hole squeezes the guiding column to move along the spiral guiding groove. While the guiding column moves towards the top end of the guiding groove, it also moves upward along the direction of the strip-shaped through hole, driving the placement seat to rotate and lift, facilitating the optical detection mechanism to obtain images of the fastener at different heights and angles, avoiding the detection incompleteness caused by the screw part of the fastener blocking part of the sealing flap, and improving the detection accuracy of the optical detection mechanism for unqualified fasteners; after the detection is completed, the driving motor rotates in reverse to make the guiding sleeve and the placement seat return to their original positions, the horizontal turntable continues to rotate, and the driving block leaves the arc-shaped groove from the other side of the driving plate and turns to the finished product blanking clamp and the defective product blanking clamp.
[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention, a ring-shaped baffle and several support columns are connected to the top surface of the limit block. Several support springs are connected between the top surface of the ring-shaped baffle and the top surface of the limit block. The ring-shaped baffle is in contact with the bottom surface of the ring-shaped support plate. The several support columns are correspondingly inserted into the several support springs. The bottom end of the guiding groove extends vertically upward to form a locking groove, and the end of the guiding column is inserted into the locking groove; a trigger rotating shaft, a reset upright column and a limit column are connected to the bottom surface of the processing cavity. The trigger rotating shaft is arranged on one side of the horizontal turntable and is adapted to the positions of the electromagnetic sensor and the washer clamp. The trigger rotating shaft is connected with a trigger plate and a push rod. The trigger plate extends below the horizontal turntable and is adapted to the position of the bottom surface of the driving block; a trigger hole is provided on the top surface of the reset upright column. A push rod opening penetrating to the side surface of the reset upright column is provided at the bottom of the trigger hole. A transmission column is inserted into the trigger hole. The top end of the transmission column extends out of the trigger hole and is at the same horizontal height as the horizontal turntable. An extrusion spherical surface is provided at the bottom of the transmission column. The opening direction of the push rod opening faces the horizontal turntable. The position of the push rod is adapted to the push rod opening. The push rod is chamfered towards the edge of the extrusion spherical surface to form an extrusion inclined surface. The top surface of the limit column is in contact with the bottom surface of the trigger plate; a pressing block is also connected to the top end of the transmission column. A reset pressing plate that can move vertically is provided on one side of the pressing ring. The reset pressing plate corresponds to the position of the pressing block; a starting groove adapted to the position of the trigger plate is provided on the side surface of the limit column. The downward pressing cylinder is electrically connected with a starting switch. The starting switch is electrically connected with the controller. Both ends of the starting switch are provided with short contact points. The short contact points are all arranged in the starting groove. The trigger plate is also provided with a short-circuit line. Electrode contacts corresponding to the positions of the short contact points are provided at both ends of the short-circuit circuit.
[0013] After adopting the above method, the head of the fastener is placed in the placement groove, so that the weight of the fastener can completely press on the placement seat. The guiding column on the side of the placement seat presses down the lower end of the strip-shaped through hole, driving the annular support plate at the top of the guiding sleeve to press down the annular baffle. The support spring below the annular baffle contracts, and the support column inserted in the support spring contacts the bottom surface of the annular baffle for support. At the same time, the end of the guiding column moves downward and leaves the locking groove, preventing the placement seat from being stressed and moving along the guiding groove when the fastener is not placed, avoiding the driving block from rotating and misaligning and unable to enter the arc-shaped groove; by triggering the trigger plate on the trigger shaft to extend below the horizontal turntable and adapt to the position of the bottom surface of the driving block, the guiding sleeve is pressed down by the placement seat so that the driving block drops to a height corresponding to the side surface of the trigger plate. When the horizontal turntable rotates and the fastener rotates to below the washer clamp, the driving block moves and pushes the trigger plate from the side. The trigger plate rotates out of the starting groove on the limit post, driving the trigger shaft to rotate; the trigger shaft then drives the push rod to rotate. At the same time, the electrode contact on the short-circuit circuit is separated from the short contact point, and the starting electrical signal sent by the controller can smoothly turn on the pressing cylinder through the starting switch. The push rod rotates through the push rod hole on the reset column and enters the bottom of the trigger hole, pressing the inclined surface to contact the pressing spherical surface and pushing the transmission column to move upward along the trigger hole. The upward movement of the transmission column drives the pressing block to rise; while the pressing ring presses the rubber ring into the annular groove, the reset pressing plate on one side pushes the pressing block downward. The pressing block drives the transmission column to make the pressing spherical surface push the pressing inclined surface, causing the push rod to rotate reversely and leave the trigger hole. The push rod drives the trigger shaft to reverse back to its original position, and the trigger plate is again clamped into the starting groove on the limit post for fixation, preventing the trigger shaft from continuing to rotate and keeping the trigger plate in a position where it can cooperate with the driving block. The electrode contact contacts the short contact point to form a circuit; when the fastener is picked up by the feeding clamp and placed on the horizontal turntable, if it is not aligned and placed in the placement groove, or the electromagnetic sensor collides with the fastener during the lifting process and separates from the placement groove, the gravity received by the placement seat decreases, resulting in the driving block at the bottom surface of the guiding sleeve being unable to descend and push the trigger plate. The starting switch is connected through a short-circuit line to block the electrical signal flowing to the pressing cylinder, so that the pressing cylinder cannot be started, preventing the fastener from being misaligned and causing the pressing ring to squeeze other parts of the fastener and cause damage.
[0014] As a further improvement of the present invention, a spherical surface is provided at the end of the guiding column, and the spherical surface fits with the inner wall of the guiding groove; a plurality of ball grooves are provided at intervals on the bottom surface of the annular support plate, a ball shaft is connected in each of the ball grooves, the ball shaft corresponds to the radial direction of the annular support plate, a ball is connected to the ball shaft, and the bottom of the ball extends out of the ball groove and contacts the annular baffle.
[0015] After adopting the above method, by providing a spherical surface at the end of the guiding post, the spherical surface fits against the inner wall of the guiding groove, reducing the contact area between the two, decreasing the frictional force on the guiding post, and making it easier to push the guiding post to move along the guiding groove; by providing a plurality of ball grooves at intervals on the bottom surface of the annular support plate, a ball shaft is connected in each ball groove, the ball shaft corresponds to the radial direction of the annular support plate, a ball is connected to the ball shaft, and the bottom of the ball extends out of the ball groove to contact the annular baffle. When the driving motor drives the guiding sleeve to rotate, the annular support plate rotates relative to the limiting block, and the balls contact the limiting block to convert sliding friction into rolling friction, reducing the wear between the annular support plate and the limiting block and increasing their service life.
[0016] As a further improvement of the present invention, each of the plurality of pneumatic bolt clamps is provided with a pair of movable clamping plates and an opening and closing air cylinder for connecting and cooperating the clamping plates. The surface of the clamping plate is covered with anti-slip lines, and each clamping plate is a curved surface plate. The size and shape of the curved surface plate are adapted to the screw part; the opening and closing air cylinder is electrically connected to the controller.
[0017] After adopting the above method, by providing a pair of movable clamping plates and an opening and closing air cylinder for connecting and cooperating the clamping plates in each of the plurality of pneumatic bolt clamps, each clamping plate is a curved surface plate with a size and shape adapted to the screw part. Operating the controller to start the opening and closing air cylinder drives the clamping plate to move and squeeze the screw part to generate pressure, and the fastener is driven by friction to move and be placed with the pneumatic bolt clamp on the conveyor belt and horizontally; by covering the surface of the clamping plate with anti-slip lines, the friction force between the clamping plate and the screw part is increased to prevent the fastener from falling off during the moving and placing process.
[0018] As a further improvement of the present invention, the optical detection mechanism includes a first camera and a second camera, and the vertical height and horizontal position of the first camera are both misaligned with those of the second camera.
[0019] After adopting the above method, since the optical detection mechanism includes a first camera and a second camera, and the vertical height and horizontal position of the first camera are both misaligned with those of the second camera, the optical detection mechanism can take pictures from different heights and angles simultaneously, making the captured pictures more comprehensive and facilitating accurate identification of the parts of the rubber ring that are not installed in place.

Detailed implementation manners
[0029] As Figures 1-8Disclosed is a highly-sealed battery pack fastener and an inspection and assembly machine for the fastener. The battery pack fastener includes a head a1 and a screw part a2, both made of metal. A sealing washer a3 is connected between the head a1 and the screw part a2. The sealing washer a3 is perpendicular to the screw part a2. An annular groove a4 is provided along the circumferential direction of the screw part a2 on the sealing washer a3. A rubber ring a5 is correspondingly clamped in the annular groove a4. A plurality of fixing bumps a6 are arranged at equal intervals on the edge of the opening of the annular groove a4. The plurality of fixing bumps a6 are all in close contact with the top of the rubber ring a5. An arc-shaped extrusion surface is provided on the side of the fixing bump a6 facing the pressed rubber ring a5. Chamfering is performed on the edge of the opening of the annular groove a4 and the top edge of the fixing bump a6 to form a guiding inclined surface. The fixing bump a6 is integrally formed with the sealing washer a3 by cold heading process.
[0030] By pressing the rubber ring a5 into the annular groove a4, a plurality of fixing bumps a6 on the edge of the opening of the annular groove a4 press the top of the rubber ring a5. The annular groove a4 is arranged along the circumferential direction of the screw part a2. During the process of screwing the fastener, the direction of the frictional force on the rubber ring a5 is the same as the extending direction of the annular groove a4, preventing the frictional force from pushing the rubber ring a5 out of the annular groove a4. At the same time, the rubber ring a5 is fixed by the fixing bumps a6, without the need to modify the rubber ring a5, maintaining the versatility of the rubber ring a5. By providing an arc-shaped extrusion surface on the side of the fixing bump a6 facing the pressed rubber ring a5, and chamfering is performed on the edge of the opening of the annular groove a4 and the top edge of the fixing bump a6 to form a guiding inclined surface, the guiding inclined surface facilitates guiding the rubber ring a5 to be aligned and enter the annular groove a4, avoiding damage caused by misalignment when pressing the rubber ring a5 into the annular groove a4. By the arc-shaped extrusion surface on the fixing bump a6 coming into contact with the rubber ring a5, when the rubber ring a5 rotates in the annular groove a4 under the frictional force, it avoids the fixing bump a6 scratching the rubber ring a5. By the cold heading process, the fixing bump a6 is integrally formed with the sealing washer a3, improving the surface finish and machining accuracy of the fixing bump a6, with low loss to the sealing washer a3, contributing to improving the production efficiency of the fastener.
