Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of guiding mechanism technology, and in particular to a cover plate assembly housing guide mechanism and sealing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, cylindrical batteries are widely used in the power batteries of new energy vehicles, electric bicycles, and electric motorcycles. The production and processing of cylindrical batteries requires grooving the outer wall of the battery's steel casing and sealing the grooved casing. During the sealing process, a battery cover plate needs to be fed to the steel casing for sealing. However, due to the low sealing accuracy of the battery cover plate and the lack of a guide assembly, the collision rate between the battery cover plate and the steel casing is high during the sealing process, reducing the success rate of the sealing. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome at least one of the defects described in the prior art, the present invention provides a cover plate assembly insertion guide mechanism and a sealing machine. This solves the problem of conventional sealing machines lacking guide components, effectively reducing the collision rate between the battery cover plate and the steel casing, thereby improving the sealing success rate.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its problem is:

[0005] A cover plate assembly guide mechanism for housing includes: an operating table mechanism, the operating table mechanism including a horizontal turntable, a central disc located at the center of the horizontal turntable, a clamping mechanism mounted on the central disc, a plurality of turntable clamps spaced apart along the rotation direction of the horizontal turntable, and a driving mechanism for driving the horizontal turntable to rotate, each of the turntable clamps holding a cover plate housing, the clamping mechanism being used to fix the cover plate housing in an operating position; a cover positioning detection mechanism, the cover positioning detection mechanism including an adjustment mechanism and a frame, the cover plate assembly being disposed on the frame, the adjustment mechanism being used to adjust the position of the cover plate assembly on the frame; and a cover driving transfer mechanism, the cover driving transfer mechanism including a robotic arm, an elastic device mounted on the robotic arm, and a suction device mounted on the elastic device; wherein, the suction device is controlled by the robotic arm to form a motion trajectory from the frame to the clamping mechanism, the cover plate assembly on the frame and the cover plate housing in the operating position are both located on the motion trajectory, so as to guide the cover plate assembly to the cover plate housing in the operating position, avoiding collision between the cover plate assembly and the cover plate housing.

[0006] By adopting the above solution, a mechanical mechanism can be realized to transport the cover plate assembly from two fixed positions, complete the installation of the cover plate assembly, improve the installation accuracy of the cover plate assembly, and avoid collision between the cover plate assembly and the cover plate housing.

[0007] Further, the clamping mechanism includes: a jaw, the jaw comprising two opposing clamping members for clamping and fixing the cover plate housing; a clamping horizontal cylinder, one clamping member of the jaw connected to the clamping horizontal cylinder, and the other clamping member connected to the output end of the clamping horizontal cylinder, for controlling the clamping operation of the two clamping members; a clamping lifting cylinder, the output end of the clamping lifting cylinder connected to the clamping horizontal cylinder, for controlling the longitudinal displacement of the clamping horizontal cylinder and the jaw; a housing sensor, the housing sensor connected to the clamping horizontal cylinder, for detecting the cover plate housing; and an assembly for assembling the lifting cylinder onto the spindle.

[0008] By adopting the above solution, the cover plate housing rotated from the horizontal turntable can be clamped and fixed, providing a fixed operating position for the cover plate assembly, which facilitates the assembly of the cover plate assembly by the cover body drive transfer mechanism.

[0009] Furthermore, the clamping surface of the gripper is provided with an inclined surface at the end near the suction device, and the inclined surface is inclined inward toward the cover plate housing.

[0010] By adopting the above solution, when there is a deviation between the assembly position of the cover plate assembly and the position of the cover plate housing, it can smoothly enter the cover plate housing through the guide of the inclined surface, providing fault tolerance for the cover body drive transfer mechanism.

[0011] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism includes: a platform; a positioning fixture slidably mounted on the platform; a fixture cylinder mounted on the platform for providing sliding force to the positioning fixture; a reference block mounted on the platform for limiting the cover plate assembly between the reference block and the positioning fixture; and a displacement sensor mounted on the platform for detecting the position of the cover plate assembly.

[0012] By adopting the above scheme, an initial storage position can be provided for the cover plate assembly, which facilitates the adjustment of the cover plate assembly into the movement trajectory of the cover body drive transfer mechanism, and facilitates the guiding operation of the cover plate assembly by the cover body drive transfer mechanism.

[0013] Furthermore, the fixture cylinder, cover plate assembly, and reference block are linearly distributed.

[0014] By adopting the above solution, the cover plate assembly can be pushed by the jig cylinder until it abuts against the reference block, thereby achieving the adjustment effect of the cover plate assembly, simplifying the adjustment steps and improving the adjustment accuracy.

[0015] Furthermore, the cover positioning detection mechanism also includes: a dust removal cylinder, which is mounted on the platform; and a dust removal device, which is mounted at the output end of the dust removal cylinder and is used to absorb dust from the cover assembly.

[0016] By adopting the above solution, the dust removal effect of the cover plate assembly can be achieved, which is beneficial to the assembly effect of the cover plate assembly and the cover plate shell.

[0017] Furthermore, the fixture cylinder, cover plate assembly, reference block, and dust removal device are linearly distributed.

[0018] By adopting the above solution, the dust collection operation of the dust removal device is facilitated, and the adjustment of the cover plate assembly does not interfere with each other.

[0019] Furthermore, it also includes a housing positioning device, which includes: a first clamping member connected to a support column; and a second clamping member connected to a spindle disk; the first clamping member and the second clamping member are used to clamp the cover plate housing.

[0020] By adopting the above solution, the cover plate housing can be accurately installed on the horizontal turntable, making it easy to rotate the cover plate housing to the operating position by rotating the horizontal turntable.

[0021] Furthermore, the first clamping member includes: a first cylinder, which is mounted on the support column; a slider, which is connected to the output end of the first cylinder; and an extruder, which is connected to the slider and is used to extrude the cover plate housing.

[0022] By adopting the above scheme, it is possible to push the cover shell onto the horizontal turntable.

[0023] Furthermore, a rubber sleeve is provided near the cover plate housing of the extrusion member.

[0024] By adopting the above solution, a buffering effect is provided to prevent the cover plate shell from deforming under stress.

[0025] Furthermore, the second clamping member includes: a second cylinder, which is mounted on the spindle disk; and a positioning fixture, which is connected to the output end of the second cylinder and is used to position the cover plate housing.

[0026] By adopting the above scheme, the cover plate housing can be supported by the turntable clamp, which facilitates the first clamping member to push and assemble the cover plate housing.

[0027] Furthermore, the positioning fixture is provided with: a groove, the two ends of which are provided with a first arc surface near the cover plate housing; a positioning block, the positioning block being provided with a second arc surface near the cover plate housing; the first arc surface and the second arc surface abut against the side of the cover plate housing for positioning the cover plate housing.

[0028] By adopting the above solution, the cover plate can be abutted against and fixed to the cover plate housing, thereby improving the assembly stability of the cover plate housing and the horizontal turntable.

[0029] A sealing machine includes a cover plate assembly guide mechanism for entering the housing.

[0030] By adopting the above solution, rapid assembly before sealing can be achieved, and collisions between the cover plate assembly and the cover plate housing can be avoided.

[0031] In summary, the cover plate assembly insertion guide mechanism provided by the present invention has the following technical effects:

[0032] 1. By setting up a cover positioning detection mechanism, the position of the cover assembly can be adjusted, thereby improving the accuracy of the cover drive transfer mechanism in picking up the cover assembly;

[0033] 2. By setting a clamping mechanism, the position of the cover housing in the operating position can be adjusted and fixed, improving the assembly accuracy between the cover housing and the cover assembly;

[0034] 3. By setting an inclined surface on the clamping component, the success rate of assembling the cover plate assembly onto the cover plate housing can be improved;

[0035] 4. By setting up a cover positioning detection mechanism, a clamping mechanism, and a cover driving transfer mechanism to form a guiding mechanism, the assembly accuracy between the cover plate assembly and the cover plate shell is improved, and collision problems are avoided.

The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0051] See Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Figures 1-5 As shown, a cover plate assembly insertion guide mechanism is disclosed, including an operating table mechanism 1, a cover positioning and detection mechanism 2, and a cover driving and transferring mechanism 3. The operating table mechanism 1 includes a horizontal turntable 11, a central disc 12, a clamping mechanism 13, a turntable clamp 14, and a driving mechanism 15. The driving mechanism 15 includes a motor 151, a belt 152, and a drive wheel set 153. The motor 151 drives the belt 152, and the belt 152 rotates while the drive wheel set 153 simultaneously drives the horizontal turntable 11 to rotate. This structure is prior art and will not be described in detail in this embodiment. The horizontal turntable 11 is centered around the central disc 12. For shaft rotation, the spindle disk 12 and the drive mechanism 15 are both supported and fixed by a fixing frame; the spindle disk 12 is provided with a plurality of assembly holes 121 for assembling the clamping mechanism 13; the horizontal turntable 11 is provided with a plurality of turntable clamps 14, the turntable clamps 14 are spaced apart along the rotation direction of the horizontal turntable 11, and each turntable clamp 14 can clamp and fix a cover plate housing 4; when the clamping mechanism 13 clamps the cover plate housing 4, the horizontal turntable 11 stops rotating, and at this time the cover plate housing 4 clamped by the clamping mechanism 13 is in the operating position for assembling the cover plate assembly 5.

[0052] The clamping mechanism 13 is used to fix the cover plate housing 4 in the operating position. The clamping mechanism 13 includes a jaw 131, a clamping horizontal cylinder 132, a clamping lifting cylinder 133, a housing sensor 135, and an assembly 134. The jaw 131 includes two opposing clamping members, which are used to clamp and fix the cover plate housing 4. One clamping member of the jaw 131 is connected to the clamping horizontal cylinder 132, and the other clamping member is connected to the output end of the clamping horizontal cylinder 132 to control the clamping operation of the two clamping members. The clamping lifting cylinder 133... The output end is connected to the clamping horizontal cylinder 132 and is used to control the longitudinal displacement of the clamping horizontal cylinder 132 and the gripper 131; the assembly part 134 is used to assemble the lifting cylinder onto the spindle disk 12, which can clamp and fix the cover plate housing 4 rotated from the horizontal turntable 11, providing a fixed operating position for the cover plate assembly 5, which facilitates the assembly of the cover plate assembly 5 by the cover body drive transfer mechanism 3. Of course, the lifting cylinder can also be directly connected to the spindle disk 12, saving the assembly part 134. The housing sensor 135 is connected to the clamping horizontal cylinder 132 and is used to detect whether the cover plate housing 4 is clamped.

[0053] See Figure 5 As shown, the cover positioning and detection mechanism 2 includes an adjustment mechanism 21 and a frame 22. A cover plate assembly 5 is mounted on the frame 22. The adjustment mechanism 21 is used to adjust the position of the cover plate assembly 5 on the frame 22. The adjustment mechanism 21 includes a platform 211, a positioning fixture 622, a fixture cylinder 213, a reference block 214, and a displacement sensor 215. The platform 211 is supported and fixed by the frame 22 and is parallel to the horizontal plane. A slide rail is provided on the surface of the platform 211, and the positioning fixture 622 can slide along the slide rail. The positioning fixture 622 is a V-shaped positioning fixture. The fixture cylinder 213 is mounted on the platform 211 and / or the frame 22 to provide sliding force for the positioning fixture 622. The reference block 214 is mounted on the platform 211 by screws. The cylinder 213, cover plate assembly 5, and reference block 214 are linearly distributed. The cover plate assembly 5 can be limited and fixed by the clamping of the reference block 214 and the V-shaped positioning fixture 622. The cover plate assembly 5 can be pushed by the fixture cylinder 213 until it abuts against the reference block 214, thereby achieving the adjustment effect of the cover plate assembly 5, simplifying the adjustment steps and improving the adjustment accuracy. The displacement sensor 215 is mounted below the platform 211 and fixedly connected to the frame 22. The displacement sensor 215 can detect the cover plate assembly 5 on the platform 211, thereby improving the adjustment accuracy of the cover plate assembly 5. The displacement sensor 215 is a laser displacement sensor 215. Of course, other types of displacement sensors 215 can also be used in other embodiments. This embodiment does not make specific limitations.

[0054] See Figure 1-2As shown, the cover-driven transfer mechanism 3 includes a robotic arm 31, an elastic device 32, and a suction device 33. The elastic device 32 is mounted at the end of the robotic arm 31, and the suction device 33 is mounted below the elastic device 32. Specifically, the elastic device 32 is a spring used to provide a buffering force for the suction device 33. The suction device 33 includes a vacuum connector 331 and a suction nozzle 332. The vacuum connector 331 is externally connected to a pipe for providing suction. The suction nozzle 332 is used to apply the suction force of the vacuum connector 331 to the sheet-like cover assembly 5. The suction nozzle 332 is made of a flexible material, which can achieve the suction of the cover assembly 5, facilitating the transfer of the cover assembly 5. The robotic arm 31 is a conventional device in the mechanical field, and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0055] The suction device 33, controlled by a robotic arm, forms a movement trajectory from the frame 22 to the clamping mechanism 13. The cover plate assembly 5 on the frame 22 and the cover plate housing 4 on the operating position are both located on the movement trajectory to guide the cover plate assembly 5 onto the cover plate housing 4 on the operating position, avoiding collision between the cover plate assembly 5 and the cover plate housing 4. The cover positioning detection mechanism 2 can provide an initial storage position for the cover plate assembly 5, making it easier to adjust the cover plate assembly 5 into the movement trajectory of the cover driving transfer mechanism 3, and facilitating the guiding operation of the cover plate assembly 5 by the cover driving transfer mechanism 3.

[0056] Therefore, the guiding mechanism disclosed in this invention can transport the cover plate assembly 5 from two fixed positions to complete the installation of the cover plate assembly 5, improve the installation accuracy of the cover plate assembly 5, and avoid collision between the cover plate assembly 5 and the cover plate housing 4.

[0057] See Figure 4 As shown, in order to further avoid collision between the cover plate assembly 5 and the cover plate housing 4, an inclined surface 1311 can be provided at the end of the clamping surface of the gripper 131 near the suction device 33. The inclined surface 1311 is inclined inward towards the cover plate housing 4. When there is a deviation between the assembly position of the cover plate assembly 5 and the position of the cover plate housing 4, it can smoothly enter the cover plate housing 4 through the guidance of the inclined surface 1311, providing fault tolerance for the cover body drive transfer mechanism 3.

[0058] The specific operation steps of this embodiment are as follows:

[0059] Motor 151 drives belt 152 to rotate horizontal turntable 11, causing cover plate housing 4 to reach the clamping position, i.e., clamping mechanism 13. After housing sensor 135 detects that cylindrical cover plate housing 4 is clamped, clamping lifting cylinder 133 extends and descends. Suction nozzle 332 on robotic arm 31 sucks away cover plate assembly 5 from platform 211 through vacuum. Robotic arm 31 transfers cover plate assembly 5 to a position 2mm above the top of cylindrical cover plate housing 4. Clamping horizontal cylinder 132 adjusts clamping through pressure reducing valve to clamp and fix cylindrical cover plate housing 4 with jaws 131, ensuring that cover plate assembly 5 can accurately fall into cylindrical cover plate housing 4. Robotic arm 31 moves to guide cover plate assembly 5 along jaws 131 into cylindrical cover plate housing 4. Robotic arm 31 returns to position, clamping horizontal cylinder 132 opens, clamping lifting cylinder 133 rises, horizontal turntable 11 rotates, and battery enters the next station.

[0060] See Figure 5 As shown, Embodiment 2 of the present invention adds a dust removal device 216 and a dust removal cylinder 217 to Embodiment 1. The dust removal cylinder 217 is mounted on the platform 211 of the adjusting mechanism 21, and the dust removal device 216 is mounted on the output end of the dust removal cylinder 217. It is used to absorb dust from the cover plate assembly 5, allowing for dust removal of the cover plate assembly 5 before assembly, thus improving the dust removal effect and facilitating the assembly of the cover plate assembly 5 with the cover plate housing 4. The dust removal device 216 is externally connected to a pipe for collecting the absorbed dust.

[0061] Specifically, the fixture cylinder 213, cover plate assembly 5, reference block 214, and dust removal device 216 are linearly distributed. By linearly arranging the dust removal device 216 with the fixture cylinder 213, cover plate assembly 5, and reference block 214, and placing it on the side of the reference block 214 away from the cover plate assembly 5, the dust removal device 216 can perform dust suction operations without interfering with the adjustment of the cover plate assembly 5.

[0062] The operation steps of the cover positioning and detection mechanism 2 are as follows:

[0063] The fixture cylinder 213 extends, and the pressure regulating valve adjusts the pressure of the fixture cylinder 213, causing the V-shaped positioning fixture 622 to slowly push the sealing ring and cover plate assembly 5 forward. The cover plate assembly 5 is stuck on the sealing ring and is an assembly. The reference block 214 is fixed on the platform 211 to achieve positioning. The laser displacement sensor 215 can shoot a red laser towards the cover plate assembly 5 on the platform 211. The laser reflected by the cover plate assembly 5 receives displacement information to determine whether the cover plate assembly 5 is placed correctly. When the cover plate is placed backward, the laser displacement sensor 215 will measure and receive a large deviation in the data, which will be sucked away by the robotic arm 31. The dust removal cylinder 217 extends, and the dust removal device 216 moves to the sealing ring and cover plate. One end of the pipe of the dust removal device 216 is connected to a dust suction device to suck away the dust. After each mechanism completes its action, it returns to the initial state.

[0064] See Figure 6-10 As shown, in Embodiment 3 of the present invention, based on Embodiment 1 or 2, a housing positioning device 6 is added. The housing positioning device 6 is used to position the cylindrical steel-cased battery 7 formed by assembling the cover plate assembly 5 and the cover plate housing 4 onto the second turntable 64. Specifically, the housing positioning device 6 includes a first clamping member 61 and a second clamping member 62. The first clamping member 61 is connected to a support column 63, which supports the first clamping member 61 and keeps it flush with the horizontal turntable 11. The second clamping member 62 is connected to the spindle 12. The first clamping member 61 and the second clamping member 62 are used to clamp the cover plate housing 4. The cover plate housing 4 is clamped and positioned by the first clamping member 61 and the second clamping member 62 and fixed in the turntable fixture 65 on the second turntable 64, thereby completing the assembly of the cover plate housing 4 with the horizontal turntable 11. The turntable fixture 65 is semi-circular and has a small hole 651 in the center. The first clamping member 61 and the second clamping member 62 can accurately install the cover plate housing 4 onto the horizontal turntable 11, so that the cover plate housing 4 can be rotated to the operating position by rotating the horizontal turntable 11.

[0065] Further, the first clamping member 61 includes a first cylinder 611, a slider 612, and an extrusion member 613. The first cylinder 611 is mounted on the top of the support column 63; the slider 612 is connected to the output end of the first cylinder 611; the extrusion member 613 is connected to the slider 612 and is used to extrude the cover plate housing 4, which can push the cover plate housing 4 onto the horizontal turntable 11. The extrusion member 613 is fixed to the slider 612, the slider 612 slides along the slide table 614, the slide table 614 is fixed to the first cylinder 611, and the extrusion member 613 and the slide table 614 are connected by a spring 616, which can realize the reset of the slider 612. A rubber sleeve 615 is provided on the extrusion member 613 near the cover plate housing 4. The rubber sleeve 615 can provide a cushioning effect to prevent the cover plate housing 4 from deforming under force. The connection method between the extrusion member 613 and the slider 612 includes, but is not limited to, welding, screwing, and integral connection. This embodiment does not impose specific limitations.

[0066] Furthermore, the second clamping member 62 includes a second cylinder 621 and a positioning fixture 622. The second cylinder 621 is mounted on the spindle disk 12. The positioning fixture 622 is connected to the output end of the second cylinder 621 and is used to position the cover plate housing 4. It can cooperate with the turntable clamp 14 to provide support for the cover plate housing 4, facilitating the pushing assembly of the cover plate housing 4 by the first clamping member 61. The positioning fixture 622 is provided with a groove 6221 and a positioning block 6222. The groove 6221 has a first arc surface 6223 near the cover plate housing 4 at both ends, and the positioning block 6222 has a second arc surface 6224 near the cover plate housing 4. The first arc surface 6223 and the second arc surface 6224 abut against the side of the cover plate housing 4 to position the cover plate housing 4. They can abut against and fix the cover plate housing 4, improving the assembly stability of the cover plate housing 4 and the horizontal turntable 11. When the rubber sleeve 615 of the first clamping member 61 abuts against the two arc surfaces of the second clamping member 62, the cover plate housing 4 is installed and positioned in the turntable fixture 65 to achieve precise installation.

[0067] The specific operating steps of the housing positioning device 6 are as follows:

[0068] The second cylinder 621 extends, causing the positioning fixture 622 to move forward. The positioning block 6222 passes through the small hole 651 of the turntable fixture 65 and positions the cylindrical steel-cased battery 7. The first cylinder 611 extends, causing the rubber sleeve 615 to move forward and push the cylindrical steel-cased battery 7 towards the positioning fixture 622. The cylindrical steel-cased battery 7 is positioned under the clamping of the first arc surface 6223 and the second arc surface 6224 and the rubber sleeve 615. When the rubber sleeve 615 pushes the cylindrical steel-cased battery 7, it generates a large force. The spring 616 is used to return and buffer its stroke. This prevents the cylindrical steel-cased battery 7 from being pushed hard and protects the battery. After each mechanism completes its action, it returns to its initial state.

[0069] The present invention also relates to a sealing machine, including a cover plate assembly guide mechanism for entering the housing, which can realize rapid assembly before sealing and avoid collision between the cover plate assembly 5 and the cover plate housing 4.

[0070] In summary, the cover plate assembly insertion guide mechanism provided by the present invention has the following technical effects:

[0071] 1. By setting up the cover positioning detection mechanism 2, the position of the cover plate assembly 5 can be adjusted, thereby improving the accuracy of the cover plate drive transfer mechanism 3 in picking up the cover plate assembly 5;

[0072] 2. By setting the clamping mechanism 13, the position of the cover housing 4 in the operating position can be adjusted and fixed, thereby improving the assembly accuracy between it and the cover assembly 5;

[0073] 3. By providing an inclined surface 1311 to the clamping component, the success rate of assembling the cover plate assembly 5 onto the cover plate housing 4 can be improved;

[0074] 4. By setting up a cover positioning detection mechanism 2, a clamping mechanism 13 and a cover driving transfer mechanism 3 to form a guiding mechanism, the assembly accuracy between the cover plate assembly 5 and the cover plate housing 4 is improved, and collision problems are avoided.

[0075] The technical means disclosed in this invention are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this invention, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of this invention.
