[0045] The present application provides a battery aluminum shell assembly method, system, device and medium, which improves the efficiency and quality of the battery aluminum shell assembly.
[0046] The technical solution in the present application embodiment is as follows: the work of the PLC controlled conveying belt, grabbing robot, camera and cover assembling robot is controlled to automatically distribute and assemble the shell and aluminum cover, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of the battery aluminum shell assembly.
[0047] Embodiment one
[0048] The present embodiment provides a battery aluminum shell assembly method, which comprises the following steps: Figure 1 , 5As shown, comprising the following steps:
[0049] Step S1, the industrial computer transmits the shell and the aluminum cover through the PLC control conveying belt; the industrial computer is used as a man-machine interface; the PLC controls the IO device in the station and collects data in real time through the Profinet bus, and controls the grabbing robot and the cover assembling robot in the station and collects data in real time through the MOODBUSTCP (in order to avoid data polling, affecting the corresponding time, the robot is a client, and the PLC is a server);
[0050] Step S2, the PLC returns the aluminum cover to the aluminum cover buffer area through the return line, so that the aluminum cover is returned continuously to ensure the working requirement of the cover assembling robot;
[0051] Step S3, the PLC identifies the buffer quantity of the shell buffer area and the aluminum cover buffer area, controls the work of the blocking cylinder of the conveying belt based on the buffer quantity, that is, adjusts the release gap, identifies the offset of the shell on the feeding belt line through the camera and transmits it to the cover assembling robot; the camera is a vision camera;
[0052] Step S4, the PLC controls the cover assembling robot to dynamically and automatically assemble the aluminum cover and the shell grabbed from the aluminum cover buffer area and the feeding belt line respectively, and transmits the assembled aluminum shell to the aluminum shell buffer area, which is grabbed by the grabbing robot to the rubber coating station;
[0053] Step S5, the PLC records the assembly quantity of the aluminum shell, and monitors the aluminum shell quantity in the assembly process in real time, and synchronizes the assembly quantity to the upper computer in real time. The upper computer and the PLC use S7 communication, and in the motion process, the interactive address, length, read-write mode, type, etc. of the PLC can be customized and added, and the devices required to be enabled during system operation can be selected; when the system starts, the upper computer sends the formula to the PLC according to the defined different configurations, the PLC calls the corresponding device function through the formula parameter, and at the same time, the upper computer can save the data materials of the device within 30 days, which is convenient for production inquiry and data monitoring.
[0054] The step S1 is specifically:
[0055] The industrial computer sends a transmission instruction to the PLC, and the PLC starts the conveying belt based on the received transmission instruction, and then transmits the shell and the aluminum cover through the conveying belt.
[0056] The PLC adopts a modular program: ①Workstation device configuration: configure IO devices through Siemens BOPU V16SP1 programming software. A workstation can be configured with up to 128 IO devices. Since a separate PLC is configured, the system performance is ensured, and the number of connected IO devices is greatly increased; ②Program FB function block: use the FB function block in the Siemens BOPU V16SP1 programming software to encapsulate various IO device control program logics in the FB function block, and call the corresponding control program through the block interface (FB input, output, InOut pin); encapsulate various IO device data acquisition logics in the FB function block, convert them into a unified format output, and call the block interface (FB input, output, InOut pin) for data exchange. The jump instruction is used in the FB, and the program that is not called does not occupy the PLC scanning period; ③The standard upper and lower computer communication interface adopts S7 communication. The device number is filled in the collected device data and sent to the upper computer. The upper computer analyzes the device number of the received data, binds the data to the corresponding device, and saves it to the local.
[0057] The step S2 specifically includes:
[0058] The PLC identifies the aluminum cover buffer area. When the number of aluminum covers is insufficient, the reflow line is used for buffering, so that the working state of the reflow line is kept in the running state. When the condition is met, the aluminum shell release instruction is waited for. When the visual recognition fails or exceeds the working area, the shell and the aluminum cover transported by the conveying belt need to be re-grabbed.
[0059] The step S3 specifically includes:
[0060] The PLC converts the offset of the loading shell position through the camera. Based on the offset, the buffer number of the shell and the aluminum cover is identified through the neural network model. It is judged whether the buffer number is greater than the preset buffer threshold. If yes, the blocking cylinder of the conveying belt is controlled to extend. If not, the blocking cylinder of the conveying belt is controlled to retract.

Based on the received cover grabbing instruction, the cover assembling robot places the aluminum cover on the corresponding shell to assemble the aluminum shell. After completion, the aluminum shell flows into the aluminum shell buffer area, and waits for the grabbing robot to grab and transplant to the encapsulation workstation.
