Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automation equipment technology, and in particular to a button cell battery packaging device and a button cell battery packaging method. Background Technology

[0002] The button batteries to be loaded vary in size, and the distance between them also varies. Existing button battery packaging equipment uses multiple grippers in its feeding mechanism. Because the lateral spacing between adjacent grippers is fixed, it cannot be matched to button batteries of different sizes. Therefore, it is impossible to use a single motor to control multiple grippers simultaneously; instead, multiple motors are typically used to control multiple grippers separately, resulting in higher costs and more complex operation.

[0003] Therefore, there is a need to provide a button cell battery packaging device and a button cell battery packaging method to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0020] In the button cell packaging equipment of the present invention, the material loading mechanism further includes a linear drive device and a carrier. The carrier is used to place materials, and the linear drive device is connected to the carrier to drive the carrier to move longitudinally.

[0021] In the button cell battery packaging equipment of the present invention, the receiving mechanism further includes a welding fixture and a welding rotary motor, wherein the welding fixture is connected to the shaft of the welding rotary motor.

Finally, the material is welded by the welding mechanism.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

The directional terms used are for the purpose of explaining and understanding this invention, and are not intended to limit this invention.

[0065] The terms "first" and "second" used in the terminology of this invention are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, nor as limiting the order of events.

[0066] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0067] The button batteries to be loaded vary in size, and the distance between them also varies. Existing button battery packaging equipment uses multiple grippers in its feeding mechanism. Because the lateral spacing between adjacent grippers is fixed, it cannot be matched to button batteries of different sizes. Therefore, it is impossible to use a single motor to control multiple grippers simultaneously; instead, multiple motors are typically used to control multiple grippers separately, resulting in higher costs and more complex operation.

[0068] The following is a preferred embodiment of a button cell battery packaging device provided by the present invention that can solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0069] Please refer to Figures 1-6A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a button cell battery packaging device, which includes a base 1, a material loading mechanism 2, a material picking mechanism 3, an upper camera system 4, a material receiving mechanism 5, and a welding mechanism 6. The base 1 includes a horizontally arranged substrate 11. The material loading mechanism 2 is disposed on the substrate 11 and is used to place the material to be welded. The material picking mechanism 3 is disposed on the substrate 11 and is used to move the material. The material picking mechanism 3 includes a material gripping component 31, a Z-axis moving component 32, and a first X-axis moving component 33. The material gripping component 31 includes a mounting plate 311, two gripping members 312, a gripping rotary motor 313, and a transmission device 314. The two gripping members 312 are slidably connected to the mounting plate 311 vertically and are arranged horizontally. The gripping rotary motor 313 is disposed on the mounting plate 311 and is connected to the two gripping members 312 through the transmission device 314 to drive the two gripping members 312 to move alternately up and down. Z-axis moving assembly 32 is connected to mounting plate 311 and is used to move the material vertically. First X-axis moving assembly 33 is connected to Z-axis moving assembly 32 and is used to move the material horizontally. Upper camera system 4 is mounted on Z-axis moving assembly 32 and is used to capture the position of the material on loading mechanism 2. Receiving mechanism 5 is mounted on base plate 11 and is used to receive the material. Welding mechanism 6 is mounted on base plate 11 and is used to weld the material; welding mechanism 6 can be a laser welder.

[0070] The button cell packaging device of the present invention uses a first X-axis moving component 33 and a Z-axis moving component 32 to move an upper camera system 4 above the material to take a picture of the material and determine its position. Then, the first X-axis moving component 33 and the Z-axis moving component 32 move the material gripping component 31 as a whole, causing one gripper 312 to move above one of the materials. The gripping rotary motor 313 rotates, and through a transmission device 314, the gripper 312 moves downward to grab the material below it. The gripping rotary motor 313 rotates in the opposite direction, and through the transmission device 314, the gripper 312 moves upward back to its original position. Finally, the material gripping component 31 moves laterally as a whole, causing... The other gripper 312 is positioned above another material. The gripping rotary motor 313 continues to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the other gripper 312 to move downwards and grab the material below it via the transmission device 314. The gripping rotary motor 313 then rotates in the opposite direction again, causing the other gripper 312 to move upwards back to its original position via the transmission device 314. The material gripping assembly 31 is then moved as a whole via the first X-axis moving component 33 and the Z-axis moving component 32, and the material is released to the receiving mechanism 5. Finally, the material is welded via the welding mechanism 6. Only one gripping rotary motor 313 is needed to control the two grippers 312 to move up and down alternately to pick up materials, which improves efficiency, reduces costs, and is easy to control.

[0071] Please refer to Figure 3The transmission device 314 includes a rocker arm 3141, two linkage arms 3142, and two sliding plates 3143. One end of each linkage arm 3142 is rotatably connected to both ends of the rocker arm 3141, and the other end of each linkage arm 3142 is rotatably connected to the two sliding plates 3143. Two gripping members 312 are slidably connected to the mounting plate 311 via the two sliding plates 3143. A gripping rotary motor 313 is connected to the middle of the rocker arm 3141 to drive both ends of the rocker arm 3141 to swing up and down, and to drive the two gripping members 312 to move alternately up and down via the two sliding plates 3143. This structure makes the transmission device 314 simple in structure and stable in operation. In other embodiments, the transmission device 314 can also be a conveyor belt, with the two gripping members 312 connected to both sides of the conveyor belt, and the forward and reverse transmissions of the transmission device 314 driving the two gripping members 312 to move alternately up and down.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 4 The rocker arm 3141 includes two vertically aligned and fixedly connected connecting rods 31411. A mounting hole 31412 is formed in the middle of the two connecting rods 31411, and the rotating shaft of the gripping rotary motor 313 is interference-fitted into the mounting hole 31412. The two connecting rods 31411 can be connected by screws. This structure facilitates the fixing of the rocker arm 3141 to the rotating shaft of the gripping rotary motor 313, and also facilitates replacement if the gripping rotary motor 313 malfunctions.

[0073] Please refer to Figure 3 The material gripping assembly 31 also includes two linear guide rails 315. The slider of the linear guide rail 315 is fixedly connected to the slide plate 3143, and the track of the linear guide rail 315 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 311. With the above structure, the gripper 312 slides stably on the mounting plate 311.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 3 The slide plate 3143 is a long strip arranged vertically. One end of the slide plate 3143 is connected to the other end of the linkage arm 3142, and the other end of the slide plate 3143 is connected to the gripper 312. This structure facilitates the connection between the linkage arm 3142 and the slide plate 3143, as well as the connection between the gripper 312 and the slide plate 3143. It avoids interference between the linkage arm 3142 and the gripper 312 during their individual movements, and also keeps the two grippers 312 close together, resulting in a compact structure.

[0075] Please refer to Figure 3The gripping component 312 includes a hollow shaft rotary motor 3121, an adsorption tube 3122, and a suction nozzle 3123. The hollow shaft rotary motor 3121 is vertically slidably connected to the mounting plate 311, and the adsorption tube 3122 passes through the hollow shaft of the hollow shaft rotary motor 3121. The suction nozzle 3123 is located at one end of the adsorption tube 3122 and is connected to the hollow shaft of the hollow shaft rotary motor 3121. When the material is not round, such as a square button battery, the material gripped by the gripping component 312 may not be in the correct position. With the above structure, the position of the material can be adjusted by the hollow shaft rotary motor 3121. The button battery consists of an upper shell and a lower shell, which are spot-welded together. The suction tube 3122 passes through the hollow shaft of the hollow shaft rotary motor 3121, and the suction nozzle 3123 is connected to the hollow shaft of the hollow shaft rotary motor 3121. The suction tube 3122 and the suction nozzle 3123 are connected, which makes it easy to pick up the button battery and has a compact structure.

[0076] Please refer to Figure 3 The gripping rotary motors 313 are arranged in multiple horizontal positions, the transmission devices 314 are arranged in multiple horizontal positions, and the gripping components 312 are arranged in multiple sets horizontally, with each of the three corresponding to the other. In this embodiment, two gripping rotary motors 313, two transmission devices 314, and two sets of gripping components 312 are illustrated. Using this structure can effectively improve work efficiency.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 3 The main body of the gripping rotary motor 313 is located on one side of the mounting plate 311, and the rotating shaft of the gripping rotary motor 313 passes through the mounting plate 311. The transmission device 314 and the two gripping parts 312 are located on the other side of the mounting plate 311, and the transmission device 314 is connected to the rotating shaft of the gripping rotary motor 313. This structure makes the design compact and easy to install.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 5 The material loading mechanism 2 also includes a linear drive device 21 and a carrier 22. The carrier 22 is used to place materials, and a material tray can be placed on the carrier. The linear drive device 21 is connected to the carrier 22 and is used to drive the carrier 22 to move longitudinally. With the above mechanism, even if the materials on the carrier 22 are arranged in multiple rows and columns or according to any other rule, the gripper 312 can still grab the materials.

[0079] Please refer to Figure 6 The receiving mechanism 5 also includes a welding fixture 51 and a welding rotary motor 52, with the welding fixture 51 and the welding rotary motor 52 connected by a shaft. Using this structure, the welding mechanism 6 remains stationary, while the welding rotary motor 52 drives the welding fixture 51 and the material to rotate, thereby welding the material circumferentially.

[0080] Please continue to refer to Figure 6There are multiple welding rotary motors 52 and welding fixtures 51, and they are connected one-to-one. In this embodiment, there are four welding rotary motors 52 and four welding fixtures 51. The receiving mechanism 5 also includes a second X-axis moving component 53. The multiple welding rotary motors 52 are arranged laterally and are all connected to the second X-axis moving component 53. The second X-axis moving component 53 is used to drive the welding fixtures 51 to move laterally. With the above structure, the welding mechanism 6 can remain stationary, while the welding rotary motors 52, welding fixtures 51, and materials can be moved by the second X-axis moving component 53, so that the welding mechanism 6 can weld the materials one by one, thereby improving welding efficiency.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 1 The button cell packaging equipment also includes a lower camera system 7, which is fixed on the substrate 11. The lower camera system 7 is used to capture the shape and position of the material. With the above structure, when the lower camera system 7 captures a material that is not round but square or other shapes, and when the position of the material captured by the lower camera system 7 is offset, the position of the material can be adjusted by the hollow shaft rotary motor 3121.

[0082] The material handling mechanism 3 also includes a connector 8, which comprises a first plate 81 and a second plate 82. One end of the second plate 82 is perpendicularly connected to one end of the first plate 81. The first plate 81 is connected to the Z-axis moving assembly 32. The upper camera system 4 is connected to the end of the second plate 82 away from the first plate 81. With the above structure, the upper camera system 4 can be fixed and stable, and there is no interference from other structures around the lens of the upper camera system 4.

[0083] The present invention also provides a button cell battery packaging method, which uses the above-mentioned button cell battery packaging equipment, the button cell battery packaging method comprising the following steps:

[0084] S11. The upper camera system 4 is moved above the material loading mechanism by means of the Z-axis moving component 32 and the first X-axis moving component 33;

[0088] S15. The material gripped by the two gripping members 312 is placed onto the receiving mechanism 5 by the Z-axis moving component 32 and the first X-axis moving component 33; and...

[0089] S16. The material is welded by the welding mechanism 6.

[0093] 3. The material gripping assembly 31 is moved as a whole by the first X-axis moving assembly 33 and the Z-axis moving assembly 32, so that one gripper 312 moves above one of the materials; the gripping rotary motor 313 rotates, causing one end of the rocker arm 3141 to move downward and the other end to move upward. The downward-moving end of the rocker arm 3141 drives the corresponding linkage arm 3142, the slide plate 3143 and the hollow shaft rotary motor 3121 to move downward, and the button battery is picked up by the suction nozzle 3123; then, the gripping rotary motor 313 rotates in the opposite direction, so that the two ends of the rocker arm 3141 are level.

[0094] 4. The material gripping component 31 is moved as a whole by the first X-axis moving component 33 and the Z-axis moving component 32, so that the other gripping component 312 is above the other material; the gripping rotary motor 313 continues to rotate in the opposite direction, driving one end of the rocker arm 3141 to move upward and the other end to move downward. The downward moving end of the rocker arm 3141 drives the corresponding linkage arm 3142, the slide plate 3143 and the hollow shaft rotary motor 3121 to move downward, and the button battery below is picked up by the corresponding suction nozzle 3123; then, the gripping rotary motor 313 rotates in the opposite direction again, so that the two ends of the rocker arm 3141 are level again;

[0095] 5. The material gripping component 31 is moved as a whole by the first X-axis moving component 33 and the Z-axis moving component 32. When it moves above the lower camera system 7, the lower camera system 7 takes a picture of the material. If the button battery is not a round battery, for example, a square battery, and is not in the correct position, the position of the button battery is adjusted by the hollow shaft rotary motor 3121.

[0099] This completes the working process of the button cell battery packaging device of this preferred embodiment.

[0100] The button cell packaging device of the present invention uses a first X-axis moving component and a Z-axis moving component to move an upper camera system above the material to take a picture of the material and determine its position; then, the first X-axis moving component and the Z-axis moving component drive the material gripping component to move as a whole, so that one gripper moves above one of the materials, the gripping rotary motor rotates, and through a transmission device, the gripper moves downward to grab the material below it, the gripping rotary motor rotates in the opposite direction, and through the transmission device, the gripper moves upward back to its original position, and then the material gripping component moves laterally as a whole. The other gripper is positioned above another material. The gripping rotary motor continues to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the other gripper to move downwards and grab the material below it via a transmission device. The gripping rotary motor then reverses direction again, causing the other gripper to move upwards back to its original position via a transmission device. The material gripping assembly is then moved as a whole via the first X-axis moving component and the Z-axis moving component, and the material is released to the receiving mechanism. Finally, the material is welded by the welding mechanism. This system requires only one gripping rotary motor to control the two grippers to move up and down alternately to pick up materials, improving efficiency, reducing costs, and facilitating control.
