[0002] New energy vehicles refer to automobiles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as their power source (or use conventional vehicle fuels but employ new onboard power devices), integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and drive, resulting in vehicles with advanced technical principles and new technologies and structures. With technological advancements and increasingly stringent societal requirements for environmental protection and energy conservation, new energy vehicles are receiving increasing attention, leading to higher demands on the production of their components.

[0003] New energy vehicles have numerous water-cooled plate surface welding parts in complex locations. When welding these parts, the water-cooled plate needs to be positioned in a fixture for transport and protection. In the post-weld process, quality inspection is required. Before inspection, the top and bottom covers of the fixture need to be opened to check the welded areas. Currently, existing technologies rely on manual operation of hand tools to open the covers, resulting in low production efficiency and high labor intensity for operators. Therefore, we propose a new water-cooled plate cover opening and quality inspection device for new energy vehicles to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0027] A preferred embodiment of the present invention is a quality inspection device for opening the cover of a water-cooled plate in a new energy vehicle, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, the system includes an opening station 100 and a quality inspection station 200. It also includes a feeding and conveying mechanism 1 for moving a fixture 300 containing a water-cooled plate 400 to the opening station 100; an opening mechanism 2 located above the opening station 100 for opening the upper cover 3a of the fixture 300; a conveying mechanism 3 for moving the water-cooled plate 400 from the fixture 300 to the quality inspection station 200; a quality inspection camera mechanism 4 located above the quality inspection station 200; and a discharging and conveying mechanism 5 for removing the qualified water-cooled plate 400 from the quality inspection station 200. The feeding mechanism 5 has a recycling mechanism 6 at the end opposite to its moving direction. During operation, the jig 300 is moved to the position by the feeding and conveying mechanism 1, and the cover opening mechanism 2 opens the upper cover 3a of the jig 300. After opening, the water-cooled plate 400 is moved to the quality inspection station 200 for inspection by the conveying mechanism 3. After passing the inspection, it is unloaded by the unloading and conveying mechanism 5. Products that fail the quality inspection are recycled by the recycling mechanism 6. The whole process is fully automated and requires no manual intervention, which can greatly improve production efficiency and reduce the labor intensity of operators.

[0028] Preferably, the discharge transfer mechanism 5 and the feed transfer mechanism 1 are arranged side by side, the opening station 100 is located on the feed transfer mechanism 1, and the quality inspection station 200 is located on the discharge transfer mechanism 5. Specifically, the feed transfer mechanism 1 is a double-speed chain, the discharge transfer mechanism 5 is a conveyor belt, and the recycling mechanism 6 is a recycling trough. The recycling trough is inclined and its upper end is located below the conveyor belt. The lower end of the recycling trough is provided with a storage slot 500. Furthermore, in order to prevent the fixture 300 from moving during the opening process, upper-lifting cylinders 7 are provided on both sides of the feed transfer mechanism 1 to push the fixture 300 away from the feed transfer mechanism 1. A positioning block 8 is also provided above the upper-lifting cylinder 7. When the upper-lifting cylinder 7 pushes up, the fixture 300 is pressed against the lower surface of the positioning block 8.

[0029] Preferably, the transfer mechanism 3 includes a first suction nozzle module 301 for adsorbing the water-cooled plate 400, a first lifting module 302 for driving the first suction nozzle module 301, and a first transverse transfer module 303 for driving the first lifting module 302 to reciprocate between the opening station 100 and the quality inspection station 200; the feeding transfer mechanism 1 and the discharging transfer mechanism 5 are both located below the first transverse transfer module 303. The first suction nozzle module 301 includes a suction nozzle body 30a and a fixing plate 30b for fixing the suction nozzle body 30a. The suction nozzle body 30a is provided in multiple ways. The movable terminal of the first lifting module 302 is located on the fixing plate 30b. Specifically, the first lifting module 302 is a cylinder, and the first transverse transfer module 303 is preferably a lead screw motor. Of course, both can also be lead screw motors or linear motors, etc.

[0030] Preferably, the opening mechanism 2 includes a clamping module 201 for clamping the upper cover 3a of the clamping fixture 300, a mounting frame 202 for fixing the clamping module 201, a second lifting mechanism 203 for driving the mounting frame 202 to rise and fall, and a second transverse mechanism 204 for driving the second lifting mechanism 203 to move along the feeding direction of the feeding and conveying mechanism 1. The clamping module 201 includes grippers 20a horizontally slidably disposed at the bottom of the mounting frame 202, and a driving unit 20b for driving the grippers 20a to move horizontally. Two grippers 20a are provided and arranged horizontally opposite each other. Furthermore, the opening mechanism 2 also includes... The lower abutment module 205 includes a fixed seat 21 mounted on the mounting bracket 202. A sealing cavity 9 is vertically provided inside the fixed seat 21. An air nozzle (not shown) communicating with the sealing cavity 9 is provided on the fixed seat 21. The lower abutment module 205 also includes a piston 22 axially movable inside the sealing cavity 9, an extension shaft 23 vertically provided at the lower end of the piston 22, and a spring 24 suspending the piston 22 inside the sealing cavity 9. Specifically, the upper end of the spring 24 is connected to the inner top surface of the sealing cavity 9, and the lower end is connected to the piston 22. In the initial state, the piston 22 is suspended in the lower part of the sealing cavity 9.The bottom of the sealing cavity 9 is provided with an movable hole 10 for the lower end of the extension shaft 23 to pass through. The lower end face of the extension shaft 23 is provided with an air passage 11 communicating with the sealing cavity 9. A soft rubber pad 12 is provided around the air passage 11 on the lower end face of the extension shaft 23. When assembled, the lower end of the extension shaft 23 is lower than the gripper 20a. When the cover is opened, the second lifting mechanism 203 drives the mounting bracket 202 to descend, so that the lower end of the extension shaft 23 first passes through the through hole on the upper cover 3a of the fixture 300 and contacts the water cooling plate 400. At the same time, the gripper 20a... The upper cover 3a of the clamping fixture 300 is further lowered. When it reaches its position, the spring 24 is compressed and presses the water-cooled plate 400 against the lower shell. Subsequently, the gripper 20a moves the upper cover 3a upward. During the initial upward movement, that is, within the first stroke range of the second lifting mechanism 203, the water-cooled plate 400 is kept against the lower shell of the fixture 300 by the cooperation of the extension shaft 23 and the downward spring 24, thus preventing the water-cooled plate 400 from moving along with the upper cover 3a when it moves away. Later, when the second lifting mechanism 203 completes its first stroke and enters its second stroke, the spring 24 is at its original length. After the upper cover 3a is completely separated from the water-cooled plate 400 and the lower shell, the sealing cavity 9 is connected to the external negative pressure source. This causes the extension shaft 23 to attract the water-cooled plate 400 and move it upwards. The spring 24 is in a stretched state, and the pulling force of the spring 24 pulls the water-cooled plate 400 upwards, causing it to loosen from the inner wall of the lower shell. When the piston 22 moves to the bottom of the sealing cavity 9, the negative pressure inside the sealing cavity 9... The pressure is released and normal pressure is restored, while the extension shaft 23 stops moving downwards and separates from the water-cooled plate 400. At this point, the water-cooled plate 400, which was previously clamped in the lower housing due to downward pressure, can be relaxed, making it easier for the nozzle body shell to easily adsorb the water-cooled plate 400. Furthermore, the water-cooled plate 400 remains within the lower housing throughout the entire process of changing from a clamped to a relaxed state. After the water-cooled plate 400 changes state, the upper cover 3a of the fixture 300 continues to move upwards, removing the cover opening station 100.

[0031] Preferably, an exhaust hole 13 is provided on the bottom surface of the sealing cavity 9 to reduce the negative pressure effect generated when the piston 22 moves upward and the pressure boosting effect generated when it descends, so as to ensure the smooth up-and-down movement of the piston 22. Furthermore, a sealing ring 14 is provided on the side wall of the piston 22 to ensure that the space above the piston 22 is sealed.

[0032] Preferably, the soft rubber pad 12 is detachably connected to the extension shaft 23. The lower end face of the soft rubber pad 12 is provided with a tapered countersunk hole 15 corresponding to the air passage to reduce the radial wall thickness of the lower part of the soft rubber pad 12. This makes the lower end of the soft rubber pad 12 more prone to radial deformation when subjected to axial pressure, so that it plays a more important buffering role when the extension shaft 23 contacts the water-cooling plate 400. At the same time, the upper part of the soft rubber pad 12 has a larger radial wall thickness, so it is not easy to undergo radial deformation when subjected to axial pressure, playing a secondary buffering role, and bearing the axial tensile force after the water-cooling plate leaves the lower shell, ensuring the overall rigidity of the soft rubber pad 12, so that the extension shaft 23 plays a better buffering role when it contacts the water-cooling plate 400.

[0033] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or modifications based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
