Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of manufacturing, and specifically relates to an automatic battery cell stamping and blanking line and its working method. Background Technology
[0002] After the battery cells are stamped, the qualified stamped products need to be marked, sorted, and arranged. The whole process is quite labor-intensive. If manual or semi-automatic production is used, the processing efficiency will be severely affected. Although the existing equipment has achieved automation, most of them are single machines with poor integration. Each machine needs to be equipped with a complete set of conveying and handling equipment, which is costly. In addition, some machines have unreasonable structural design, which can only transport one product at a time during the transfer process. If the transfer or grabbing is not timely, the products are prone to stacking. Existing tray carriers are prone to displacement or shaking during the tray placement process, which affects the accuracy of the tray placement component's position. Meanwhile, as disclosed in patent CN108306054B, the battery cell trays have many product placement stations that are horizontally placed, which occupy a large space and result in a small number of products that can be placed on each tray. For example, the positioning fixture and circulation fixture disclosed in the published patent CN218849715U use a single-line conveyor, which has low transfer efficiency; and such a line is prone to backlog problems if the material is not picked up in time in the later stage. In addition, battery cells have a front and a back. If the front and back are placed incorrectly during the tray arrangement process, it will not only cause the arrangement to be chaotic, but may also lead to errors in the subsequent assembly. Existing equipment cannot solve the problem of sorting the front and back. Therefore, the existing component placement technology still needs improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0013] Preferably, the lower positioning member is a vertical grid plate; the lateral positioning member includes a lateral upward positioning grid plate and a lateral downward positioning frame, the lateral upward positioning grid plate and the lateral downward positioning frame are arranged in an upper and lower position, and at least one side of the lateral upward positioning grid plate and the lateral downward positioning frame is provided with comb teeth, and the gap between the comb teeth on the lateral upward positioning grid plate is arranged opposite to the gap between the comb teeth on the lateral downward positioning frame.
[0014] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The automatic cell stamping and unloading line of the present invention sorts the stamped cells through a double-layer flow line, directly removing defective products and allowing good products to enter the product conveying device. The product conveying device can supply materials to multiple material handling devices, and a material tray buffer device is set between the material handling devices. Lifting unloading devices are set at both ends of the production line, which not only realizes the lifting of the material tray carrier, but also enables the material tray carrier to achieve fully automatic unattended cyclic use. The integration of multiple devices and basic supporting facilities makes the entire line design more reasonable, the equipment utilization rate higher, and can also effectively improve the cell tray unloading efficiency.
[0015] 2. In this invention, the material placement equipment transports products to one side of the equipment via a product conveying device, places the products onto a circulating fixture module via a picking device, feeds the products in steps via the circulating fixture module, and during this process, the products are coded and marked via a coding and marking device. The picking and placement module picks up the processed products and places them into a material tray and carrier device. The entire process is automated, greatly improving the efficiency of product placement.
[0016] 3. The gripper assembly is equipped with at least one gripper mechanism, allowing the number of gripper mechanisms to be selected according to actual needs. This not only enables the gripping of one product but also meets the need to grip multiple products simultaneously, improving the applicability of the gripper assembly. When multiple gripper mechanisms are used, the product gripping and tray placement efficiency can be greatly improved. Furthermore, the position of the gripper assembly can be adjusted through the position adjustment mechanism.
[0017] 4. The clamping unit can clamp the product on the gripper, which can effectively improve the stability of the gripper mechanism in gripping the product and prevent the product from falling during the gripping and transportation process; in addition, each gripper mechanism has an independent gripper and clamping unit, which allows it to independently complete the gripping and clamping work.
[0018] 5. The flipping mechanism allows for adjustment of the angle of the gripper assembly, enabling it to change the product from a horizontal to a vertical position, facilitating the gripper assembly's product placement.
[0019] 6. The circulating fixture module, through the cooperation of the translation module and the lifting module, realizes step-by-step feeding of products, allowing products to be transported on the product placement rack. It can effectively control the feeding speed and avoid product backlog. At the same time, the multi-line interval conveyor used in this case also greatly improves its conveying and transfer efficiency, allowing it to better supply materials to the subsequent processes.
[0020] 7. The lifting and adjusting frame is equipped with a set of arc-shaped track surfaces, and the moving wheels are mounted on the arc-shaped track surfaces. This unique design of the arc-shaped track surfaces allows for height adjustment of the material-feeding fixture as the moving wheels move along them.
[0021] 8. The material tray and carrier device, through the cooperation of the lower positioning component and the side positioning component, forms a vertical insertion station on the material tray, allowing the battery cells to be vertically inserted into each placement slot, effectively increasing the number of products placed on each material tray and improving its transportation efficiency. At the same time, a positioning device is also set to limit the outer side of the material tray to prevent shaking during processing and improve the stability of material placement.
[0022] 9. The gaps between the vertical comb teeth and the side-up positioning grid and the side-down positioning frame form slots for placing products, which can effectively improve the stability of product placement and prevent tilting. At the same time, the structural optimization can also increase the number of products that can be placed on the tray, effectively improving the efficiency of transferring products in the same batch, and can also solve the problem that horizontally placed products occupy a lot of space, resulting in fewer products being handled.
[0023] 10. The flipping flow line allows the product to be flipped by the curved guide plate. Then, the flipped product is transported to the product conveyor for feeding through the transfer line and return line. The entire flipping process is automated and requires no manual labor, which effectively solves the problem of disordered placement of front and back products.
[0024] 11. The lifting and unloading device enables the lifting and transport of the material tray carrier, facilitating its cooperation with the material handling equipment to achieve the conveying of the material tray carrier and realize the fully automatic, unattended, and cyclical use of the material tray carrier.

[0051] The working method of the automatic battery cell stamping and unloading line described in this embodiment is as follows: 1: The stamped battery cells enter the double-layer stamping and docking flow line 9. After being inspected by the inspection mechanism, the good products are conveyed from the upper flow line to the product conveying device 4, and the stamping waste products enter the waste receiving box 94 from the lower flow line. At the same time, the robot grabs the empty material tray carrier 21 onto the lifting unloading device 8, and lifts it to the same height as the first conveying device and the second conveying device. The unloading conveying mechanism 82 conveys it to the corresponding placement device, and the lifting device 28 drives it to rise to the same height as the circulating fixture module 3; 2: After entering the product conveying device 4, the front and back of the product are detected by the detection device on the picking device 5. If it is the front, the picking device 5 grabs the product and places it on the product placement rack 37 of the circulating fixture module 3; 3: If it is the back, it continues to move forward through the product conveying device 4, and after flipping and conveying... The arc-shaped guide plate 4111 at the end of the feed line 411 guides the product to flip over in both directions. The flipped product falls onto the transfer line 413 and is then transported to the return line 412. After passing through the return line 412, the product is transported again to the feed port of the product conveying device 4. 4: After the product is placed on the placement rack 37, the circulating fixture module 3 feeds the product step by step through the cooperation of the translation module 33 and the lifting module 35. During this process, the marking mechanism 62 and the scanning mechanism 63 mark and scan the product in turn. 5: The gripper assembly 14 in the tray module 1 unloads the product from the placement slot 371 at the discharge end of the placement rack 37. 6: The tray module 1 grabs the product unloaded in the previous step and holds it in place in the tray and carrier device 2. The product is inserted into the comb teeth corresponding to the lower positioning member 24 and the lateral positioning member 25. 7. After the tray and carrier device 2 is filled with products, the lifting device 28 will drive the tray carrier 21 filled with products to move downwards until both sides of the tray carrier 21 are placed on the first conveying device and the second conveying device; 8. The lifting unloading device 8 will drive the unloading conveying mechanism 82 to move upwards through the linkage lifting drive mechanism 81 until the unloading conveying mechanism 82 is at the same height as the first conveying device and the second conveying device; 9. The first conveying device and the second conveying device will transport the tray carrier assembly filled with products to the lifting unloading device. 8. Place the material feeding conveyor 82 on the feeding device 8; 10. The linkage lifting drive mechanism 81 in the lifting feeding device 8 rotates in the opposite direction to step 8), so that the feeding conveyor 82 is lowered to the initial position. Then the feeding conveyor 82 transports the tray carrier to the double-speed chain conveyor 42, and the double-speed chain conveyor 42 transports the tray carrier to one end of the tray collection device 10; 11. The feeding robot 101 will take away the tray carrier full of products and transport it to the tray collection device 10 to stack the tray carrier components.
[0052] It should be noted that the lower part of the corner of the material tray carrier is provided with a pin sleeve and the upper part is provided with a pin. The upper and lower material tray carriers 21 are stacked and positioned by inserting the pin into the corresponding pin sleeve.
[0053] Alternatively, if there is only one material handling device in the production line, skip step 10.
[0054] It should be noted that if there are multiple material handling devices in the production line, the material tray carrier needs to be buffered and transported by the material tray buffer device 801 during the conveying process.
[0055] The specific process of step-by-step feeding in step 4 is as follows: 41: The translation module 33 drives the translation plate 34 and the lifting module 35 located thereon to move forward together to the designated position; 42: When the lifting drive motor 3541 in the lifting drive mechanism 354 reverses, it drives the drive screw 3542 to rotate in the opposite direction. During the rotation of the drive screw 3542, it drives the lifting moving frame 351 to move towards the high end of the arc track surface 3521. Since the moving wheel 3534 under the material feeding mounting plate 3531 is located on the arc track surface 3521, when the lifting moving frame 351 moves, it will drive the material feeding mounting plate 3531 to rise along the guide column. At the same time, it will drive the material feeding mechanism 353 to rise together, until the material feeding fixture 3532 lifts the product on the product placement rack 37 upward until it is removed from the product placement rack 37. 43: The translation module 33 drives the translation plate 34 and the lifting module 35 located thereon to move forward together to the next placement slot 371 position on the product placement rack 37; 44: Then the lifting drive motor 3541 rotates forward, opposite to the movement direction in step 42, driving the drive screw 3542 to rotate forward, and through the lifting moving frame 351, it drives the material feeding fixture 3532 and the product on it to move forward and downward along the arc track surface 3521, so that the material feeding fixture 3532 drives the product to descend until the product falls into the corresponding placement slot 371; 45: At the same time, the product on the placement slot 371 on the side of the product placement rack 37 near the material tray and carrier device 2 will be grabbed by the gripper mechanism 16 in the tray module 1 and placed into the material tray and carrier device 2.
[0056] 46: Repeat steps 41 to 44 to transfer and move the product.
[0057] The specific processes of steps 5 and 6 of the working method of the automatic cell stamping and blanking line described in this embodiment are as follows: 51: First, the X-axis module 11 in the position adjustment mechanism drives the sliding plate 15 to move the gripper assembly 14 downwards along the vertical sliding guide module 113 to a specified height; 52: The Y-axis module 12 moves the drive adapter assembly 13, the X-axis module 11 located thereon, and the gripper assembly 14 towards the circulating fixture module 3 until the gripper 161 extends into the gap between the two placement racks 37; 53: The sensor 1623 detects whether there is a product on the gripper 161. If the detection result shows that there is a product, the control device will command the clamping unit 162 to clamp the product on the gripper 161; 54: The Y-axis module 12 drives the adapter assembly... 55: The part 13, the X-axis module 11 and the gripper assembly 14 located thereon move backward until the gripper assembly 14 moves to the position on the tray and carrier device 2 where the product needs to be placed; 56: The unloading and flipping drive cylinder 363 drives the gripper assembly 14 to flip downward until the product is flipped to a vertical position; 57: The X-axis module 11 drives the sliding plate 15 to move the gripper assembly 14 downward until the product is inserted into the comb teeth corresponding to the lower positioning part 24 and the side positioning part 25, the clamping unit 162 releases the product, and the X-axis module 11 drives the sliding plate 15 to move the gripper assembly 14 back to the initial height; 58: Repeat the above steps until all products are taken.
[0058] The specific working process of steps 8 and 9 in this embodiment is as follows: The lifting drive motor 812 rotates, driving the lifting main drive wheel 821 to rotate together. The lifting main drive wheel 821 drives the traction wheel assembly 813 and the transmission wheels 8111 on the two lifting transmission screws 811 to rotate synchronously through the transmission belt 814, thereby driving the lifting transmission screws 811 to rotate together. During the rotation of the lifting transmission screws 811, the lifting drive block 8112 is driven to rise, thereby driving the unloading conveying mechanism 82 to rise. The drive motor 295 drives the drive sprocket 294 in the first conveying device to rotate via the drive wheel. The drive sprocket 294 drives the driven sprocket in the first conveying device to rotate. At the same time, the drive sprocket 294 rotates and drives the driven sprocket in the second conveying device to rotate synchronously via the linkage shaft 291, thereby conveying the tray carrier assembly filled with products to the unloading conveying mechanism 82 of the lifting unloading device 8.
[0059] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
