Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of lithium battery manufacturing equipment, and particularly relates to a stacking mechanism in a lithium battery stacker. Background Art
[0002] The battery cores of lithium-ion batteries can be produced by two processes: winding and stacking. The stacking process uses a stacker to alternately stack the cut positive and negative electrode sheets to form a stacked core. The stacker mainly includes a stacking mechanism and a blanking mechanism. The work to be completed by the stacking mechanism is to transport the positive and negative electrode sheets from the conveyor belt to the alignment table, and then from the alignment table to the stacking table, and alternately place the positive and negative electrode sheets on the stacking table to complete the stacking process. The positive and negative electrode sheets are separated by a separator. Currently, most of the stacking mechanisms of stackers use two sets of driving units to transport one electrode sheet, and the process includes the action of transporting the electrode sheet in the vertical direction and the action of transporting the electrode sheet in the horizontal direction. Currently, the stacking mechanism usually uses a cylinder or a motor + lead screw to transport the electrode sheet in the vertical direction, and a linear motor to transport the electrode sheet in the horizontal direction. Through production practice, it is found that when using a cylinder to transport the electrode sheet in the vertical direction, the telescopic action of the cylinder will impact the electrode sheet, thus having an adverse effect on the quality of the electrode sheet. When using a motor-driven lead screw to transport the electrode sheet in the vertical direction, although the impact of the telescopic action of the cylinder on the electrode sheet can be avoided, high-speed operation cannot be achieved, which affects production efficiency. Moreover, the two directions need to be controlled by two sets of driving mechanisms respectively, and the structure and control program are complex, making it difficult to improve the overall efficiency.

[0025] Such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown in the figure, the lamination mechanism of this embodiment includes a frame plate 1, a first sheet picking component 2, a second sheet picking component 3 and a sheet feeding component arranged on the frame plate 1. The first sheet picking component 2 and the second sheet picking component 3 are respectively used to pick up the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet, and transport the positive and negative electrode sheets from the electrode sheet conveyor belt (not shown) to the alignment table (not shown). The sheet feeding component includes a first sheet feeding unit 4 and a second sheet feeding unit 5. The first sheet feeding unit 4 and the second sheet feeding unit 5 are respectively used to feed the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet, and alternately place the positive and negative electrode sheets from the alignment table onto the lamination table (not shown) to achieve the overlapping placement of the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet, and form a laminated battery cell.
[0026] The present invention adopts the form of a motor + cam / rocker arm transmission structure to control the actions of the sheet picking component and the sheet feeding component. On the frame plate 1, there are track chutes for guiding the sheet picking component and the sheet feeding component to move along a certain movement trajectory. In this embodiment, a first sheet picking track chute 1a, a sheet feeding track chute 1b and a second sheet picking track chute 1c are arranged on the frame plate 1. The first sheet picking track chute 1a and the second sheet picking track chute 1c are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the sheet feeding track chute 1b. The first sheet picking track chute 1a is used to guide the movement of the first sheet picking component, the second sheet picking track chute 1c is used to guide the movement of the second sheet picking component, and the sheet feeding track chute 1b is used to guide the movement of the sheet feeding component. The first and second sheet picking track chutes and the sheet feeding track chute of this embodiment are all approximately inverted U-shaped, that is, the two ends of the chute are downward and the middle extends horizontally. Thus, the sheet picking component or the sheet feeding component has a vertical lifting movement at both ends of the chute and a horizontal translation movement in the middle of the chute.

The sheet picking swing arm 2-5 is installed on the frame plate 1 through a hinge shaft Q and can swing around the hinge shaft Q. A first cam groove 2-5a is machined on the sheet picking swing arm 2-5, and the sheet picking cam 2-6 is arranged in the first cam groove 2-5a. The sheet picking cam 2-6 is driven by a motor (not shown). When the sheet picking cam 2-6 rotates in the first cam groove -5a, it can push the sheet picking swing arm 2-5 to swing around the hinge shaft Q. The sheet picking drive connection shaft 2-4 passes through the first sheet picking track chute 1a, with one end connected to the first sheet picking swing arm 2-5 and the other end connected to the sheet picking longitudinal translation slide plate 2-2. In this embodiment, a second cam groove 2-5b is machined on the sheet picking swing arm 2-5, and a first transition cam 2-7 is arranged at the end of the sheet picking drive connection shaft 2-4 connected to the sheet picking swing arm 2-5. The first transition cam 2-7 is arranged in the second cam groove 2-5b of the sheet picking swing arm 2-5. The sheet picking drive connection shaft 2-4 can move along the first sheet picking track chute 1a. When the sheet picking swing arm 2-5 swings, it can drive the movement of the sheet picking longitudinal translation slide plate 2-2 through the transmission of the first transition cam 2-7 and the sheet picking drive connection shaft 2-4.
[0028] A horizontally extending sheet picking transverse translation slide rail 1-1 is arranged on the frame plate 1. The sheet picking transverse translation slide plate 2-3 is arranged on the sheet picking transverse translation slide rail 1-1 and can move horizontally along the sheet picking transverse translation slide rail 1-1. The sheet picking longitudinal translation slide plate 2-2 is arranged on the sheet picking transverse translation slide plate 2-3 so as to be movable up and down. The middle of the sheet picking transverse translation slide plate 2-3 of this embodiment is hollowed out, and the sheet picking drive connection shaft 2-4 can pass through the sheet picking transverse translation slide plate 2-3 and be connected to the sheet picking longitudinal translation slide plate 2-2. A longitudinally extending sheet picking longitudinal translation slide rail 2-3a is arranged on the sheet picking transverse translation slide plate 2-3. The sheet picking longitudinal translation slide plate 2-2 is arranged on the sheet picking longitudinal translation slide rail 2-3a and can move up and down along the sheet picking longitudinal translation slide rail 2-3a. When the sheet picking drive connection shaft 2-4 moves driven by the sheet picking swing arm 2-5, the sheet picking suction cup 2-1 is driven to realize the process of lifting and translation under the combined action of the relative movement in the vertical direction between the sheet picking longitudinal translation slide plate 2-2 and the sheet picking transverse translation slide plate 2-3 and the relative movement in the horizontal direction between the sheet picking transverse translation slide plate 2-3 and the frame plate 1 according to the guidance of the first sheet picking track chute 1a. Optionally, in order to make the movement of the drive connection shaft in the track chute smoother, bearings are arranged on the sheet picking drive connection shaft 2-4, and the sheet picking drive connection shaft 2-4 slides in the first sheet picking track chute 1a through the bearings.
[0029] The sheet-taking suction cup 2-1 is arranged on the sheet-taking longitudinal translation slide plate 2-2. Optionally, in this embodiment, the sheet-taking suction cup 2-1 is arranged on the sheet-taking longitudinal translation slide plate 2-2 through a sheet-taking pneumatic slide table 2-8, and the sheet-taking pneumatic slide table 2-8 is arranged on the sheet-taking longitudinal translation slide plate 2-2. The pneumatic slide table plays the role of a spring, alleviating the impact of the sheet-taking suction cup on the pole piece at both ends of the lamination stroke. For the convenience of installing various components and having sufficient movement space, in this embodiment, the sheet-taking swing arm 2-5, the sheet-taking suction cup 2-1, the sheet-taking longitudinal translation slide plate 2-2, and the sheet-taking transverse translation slide plate 2-3 are respectively arranged on both sides of the frame plate 1. The sheet-taking swing arm 2-5 and the sheet-taking longitudinal translation slide plate 2-2 are connected by a sheet-taking drive connection shaft 2-4 passing through the frame plate 1. When there is enough space, the sheet-taking swing arm 2-5 can also be arranged on the same side of the frame plate 1 together with the sheet-taking suction cup 2-1, the sheet-taking longitudinal translation slide plate 2-2, and the sheet-taking transverse translation slide plate 2-3.
[0030] The structure of the second sheet-taking component 3 is the same as that of the first sheet-taking component 2, and the action principle process is also the same. The first sheet-taking component 2 and the second sheet-taking component 3 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the sheet-feeding component. Similar to the first sheet-taking component 2, the second sheet-taking component 3 also includes a sheet-taking suction cup, a sheet-taking longitudinal translation slide plate, a sheet-taking transverse translation slide plate, a drive connection shaft, a sheet-taking swing arm, and a sheet-feeding cam. For the specific structure of the second sheet-taking component 3, reference can be made to the description of the foregoing first sheet-taking component 2.
[0031] In addition to including the first sheet-feeding unit 4 and the second sheet-feeding unit 5, the sheet-feeding component further includes a sheet-feeding translation slide plate 6, a sheet-feeding auxiliary drive block 7, a sheet-feeding swing arm 8, a sheet-feeding drive connection shaft 9, a sheet-feeding cam 10, and a vertical transition plate 11. A sheet-feeding transverse translation slide rail 1-2 extending in the horizontal direction and a sheet-feeding longitudinal translation slide rail 1-3 extending in the vertical direction are arranged on the frame plate 1. The sheet-feeding translation slide plate 6 is arranged on the sheet-feeding transverse translation slide rail 1-2 and can move relative to the frame plate 1 in the horizontal direction along the sheet-feeding transverse translation slide rail 1-2. The vertical transition plate 11 is arranged on the sheet-feeding longitudinal translation slide rail 1-3 and can move relative to the frame plate 1 in the vertical direction along the sheet-feeding longitudinal translation slide rail 1-3. The sheet-feeding auxiliary drive block 7 and the vertical transition plate 11 are connected together through a sliding rail + sliding groove matching structure. In this embodiment, a roller slide rail 11-1 is arranged at the top of the vertical transition plate 11. A sliding groove (not shown) matching with the roller slide rail 11-1 is arranged on the sheet-feeding auxiliary drive block 7, and the sheet-feeding auxiliary drive block 7 and the vertical transition plate 11 can move relative to each other along the roller slide rail 11-1. When two components of the present invention are connected by a groove-rail matching structure, the installation positions of the slide rail (track) and the sliding groove (groove) can be interchanged. For example, in this embodiment, a roller slide rail is arranged on the vertical transition plate, and a sliding groove matching with the roller slide rail is arranged on the sheet-feeding auxiliary drive block. However, the sliding groove can also be arranged on the vertical transition plate, and a slide rail that can be assembled in the sliding groove is arranged on the sheet-feeding auxiliary drive block. The same principle applies to the matching structures between other relatively slidable components.
[0032] A film feeding auxiliary driving block 7 is arranged on the film feeding translation slide plate 6, and the film feeding auxiliary driving block 7 is arranged on the film feeding translation slide plate 6 so as to be movable up and down.

[0033] A film feeding swing arm 8 is arranged on the frame plate 1. The film feeding swing arm 8 and the film feeding translation slide plate 6 of this embodiment are respectively located on different sides of the frame plate 1, and the film feeding swing arm 8 and the film taking swing arm 2-5 are located on the same side of the frame plate 1.

The film feeding driving connection shaft 9 passes through the film feeding track chute 1b, with one end connected to the film feeding swing arm 8 and the other end connected to the film feeding auxiliary driving block 7. A hollow is machined on the film feeding translation slide plate 6 of this embodiment, and the film feeding auxiliary driving block 7 has a connecting portion (not labeled) passing through the hollow of the film feeding translation slide plate 6. The connecting portion of the film feeding auxiliary driving block 7 passes through the hollow and is then connected to the film feeding driving connection shaft 9. A fourth cam groove 8b is machined on the film feeding swing arm 8 of this embodiment, and a second transition cam 12 is arranged at the end of the film feeding driving connection shaft 9 connected to the film feeding swing arm 8. The second transition cam 12 is arranged in the fourth cam groove 8b of the film feeding swing arm 8. The film feeding driving connection shaft 9 can move along the film feeding track chute 1b. The driving cam of the present invention reciprocates in a given cam groove, and its horizontal movement is converted through the cooperation of the transition cam, turning into the horizontal action of the pole piece suction cup; its vertical movement is directly converted into the vertical action of the pole piece suction cup, thereby turning the horizontal reciprocating linear motor action into the spatial displacement action of the pole piece suction cup with a given combined cam curve.
[0034] The first film feeding unit 4 and the second film feeding unit 5 are vertically movably arranged on the film feeding translation slide plate 6, and the first film feeding unit 4 and the second film feeding unit 5 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the film feeding auxiliary driving block 7.

The upper straight section and the lower straight section are connected by an inclined section, and the straight sections all extend in the horizontal direction. The film feeding transition cams in the two film feeding units are both arranged in the film feeding unit track chute 11a. Optionally, the film feeding suction cup 4-1 of this embodiment is arranged on the film feeding longitudinal movement slide plate 4-2 through a film feeding pneumatic slide table 4-5. The action end of the film feeding pneumatic slide table 4-5 is provided with a direct drive rotary motor 4-6 (DD motor), and the film feeding suction cup 4-1 is arranged at the output end of the direct drive rotary motor 4-6. The structure of the second film feeding unit 5 is the same as that of the first film feeding unit 4. For specific details, reference can be made to the description of the first film feeding unit 4, which will not be elaborated here.
[0036] The operation process of each component of the lamination mechanism of the present invention will be described below.
[0037] The frame plate 1 is a fixed component. The pick-up cams in the first and second pick-up components and the film feeding cam of the film feeding component are respectively driven by their respective power driving units to rotate synchronously, so as to drive the pick-up swing arms in the first and second pick-up components and the film feeding swing arm in the film feeding component to swing synchronously.
[0038] The action process of the first film picking assembly 2 is as follows: the film picking cam 2-6 rotates in the first cam groove 2-5a of the film picking swing arm 2-5 under the drive of the linear motor, pushing the film picking swing arm 2-5 to swing left and right, and the film picking swing arm 2-5 drives the film picking drive connecting shaft 2-4 connected thereto to slide in the first film picking track slide groove 1a, and drives the film picking longitudinal sliding plate 2-2 to move through the film picking drive connecting shaft 2-4. Figure 3 Taking the direction shown as an example, the film-taking drive connecting shaft 2-4 first rises along the vertical section at the left end of the first film-taking track chute 1a, then translates along the horizontal section in the middle of the first film-taking track chute 1a, and then descends along the vertical section at the right end of the first film-taking track chute 1a. Through the cooperation between the film-taking longitudinal sliding plate 2-2 and the film-taking transverse sliding plate 2-3 and the frame plate 1, the lifting, translation and lowering process after the pole piece is sucked is realized. After the first film-taking assembly 2 transports the pole piece from the conveyor belt to the aligning table, the film-taking cam 2-6 rotates in the opposite direction, and resets the unloaded first film-taking assembly 2 in the opposite order, returns to the conveyor belt along the original path, and repeats the transportation of the next pole piece.
[0039] The action principle of the second film picking assembly 3 is the same as that of the first film picking assembly 2, but the direction is opposite. For example, the first film picking assembly 2 moves from left to right to complete the action of picking and placing the film, and moves from right to left without load, while the second film picking assembly 3 moves from left to right without load, and moves from right to left to complete the action of picking and placing the film. After the first film picking assembly 2 and the second film picking assembly 3 place the electrode sheets on the corresponding alignment tables respectively, the first film feeding unit 4 and the second film feeding unit 5 of the film feeding assembly place the electrode sheets from different alignment tables onto the stacking table respectively.
[0040] The film-feeding cam 10 rotates within the third cam groove 8a of the film-feeding swing arm 8 under the drive of the linear motor, pushing the film-feeding swing arm 8 to swing left and right. The film-feeding swing arm 8 drives the film-feeding drive connecting shaft 9 connected thereto to slide within the film-feeding track chute 1b, and drives the film-feeding auxiliary drive block 7 to move through the film-feeding drive connecting shaft 9. When the film-feeding auxiliary drive block 7 moves, its horizontal component motion drives the film-feeding translation slide plate 6 to move horizontally relative to the frame plate 1. The first film-feeding unit 4 (film-feeding longitudinal translation slide plate) and the second film-feeding unit 5 (film-feeding longitudinal translation slide plate) on the film-feeding translation slide plate 6 also translate synchronously. During the process that the first film-feeding unit 4 moves from the gauging table to the stacking table, the second film-feeding unit 5 synchronously moves from the stacking table to the gauging table, and vice versa; the vertical component motion of the film-feeding auxiliary drive block 7 drives the vertical transition plate 11 to move up and down relative to the frame plate 1. The vertical transition plate 11 drives the first film-feeding unit 4 (film-feeding longitudinal translation slide plate) and the second film-feeding unit 5 (film-feeding longitudinal translation slide plate) to move vertically relative to the film-feeding translation slide plate 6 through the cooperation of the film-feeding unit track chute 11a thereon and the film-feeding transition cam 4-4. Thus, the first film-feeding unit 4 and the second film-feeding unit 5 can move up and down, realizing the lifting action during the process of taking and feeding the film, and completing the process of alternately stacking the positive and negative plates during lamination.
[0041] As can be seen from the above operation process, the present invention adopts a transmission structure of cam + swing arm. The lifting and translation actions of one component can be completed by only one drive unit, without the need for two drive units to separately complete the driving in the horizontal and vertical directions, simplifying the structure and having high efficiency.
[0042] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be obvious to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but rather to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
