Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery maintenance technology, and more specifically, to a module cutting device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology and the increasing demand for mobile devices, battery modules, as a key electronic device, are undergoing continuous upgrades in design and manufacturing. However, due to the complexity of battery module manufacturing and design, the maintenance and replacement costs of battery modules are also increasing.

[0003] To reduce the maintenance and replacement costs of battery modules, existing technologies employ rework pull-out disassembly equipment for disassembly and maintenance. This equipment facilitates the disassembly of battery modules, allowing for the repair or replacement of damaged or faulty components. It also enables comprehensive analysis and testing of the battery modules to ensure their performance and safety. Furthermore, rework pull-out equipment can improve battery module production efficiency and reduce maintenance costs. During battery module manufacturing, issues such as design errors and material quality problems may arise; these can be addressed through rework pull-out equipment for repair and replacement, further enhancing production efficiency.

[0004] Square lithium battery module rework and disassembly equipment is a very important piece of equipment. It can rework and disassemble square lithium battery modules, improve production efficiency and reduce maintenance costs, and is of great significance to the development of the battery module manufacturing industry.

[0005] When disassembling a square lithium battery module, it is necessary to cut its side plates and end plates. Conventional module cutting equipment will generate local heat during the cutting process. The cells inside the module have high temperature requirements. If the local temperature is too high, dangerous accidents such as explosions may occur.

[0006] Therefore, how to safely cut battery modules has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0065] The core of this invention is to disclose a module cutting device to achieve safe cutting operations on modules such as battery modules awaiting cutting.

[0066] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, the embodiments shown below do not limit the scope of the invention as described in the claims. Additionally, the complete contents of the structures represented in the embodiments below are not limited to those necessary for the solution of the invention as described in the claims. It should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the relevant application are shown in the drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other.

[0067] The module cutting device disclosed in this invention includes a base, a feeding platform, a cutting assembly, and a clamping mechanism. The clamping mechanism is movably mounted on the base and is used to transfer the module 100 to be cut from its initial position to the feeding station; the feeding platform is movably mounted on the base and is used to move the module 100 to be cut between the feeding station and the cutting station; the cutting assembly is mounted on the base and is used to extrude and cut the module 100 to be cut at the cutting station.

[0068] The module cutting device disclosed in this invention uses the principle of extrusion cutting for flameless cutting. Compared with the existing technology that uses high-speed rotation and other high-heat cutting devices, it is safer and can achieve safe cutting of the module 100 to be cut.

[0069] In a specific embodiment disclosed in this invention, combined with Figure 1 The cutting assembly includes a tool holder 100a, a three-axis positioning assembly 200a, and a tool assembly 300a. The tool holder 100a is mounted on the machine base as a mounting foundation. The three-axis positioning assembly 200a is mounted on the tool holder 100a, and the tool assembly 300a is mounted on the three-axis positioning assembly 200a for cutting the module 100 to be cut, located below the tool assembly 300a. The three-axis positioning assembly 200a allows the tool assembly 300a to be moved relative to the module 100 to be cut at the cutting station to a position suitable for cutting.

[0070] Combination Figure 2 The tool assembly 300a includes a tool mounting bracket 310a, a mounting bearing, and a tool 320a. The tool mounting bracket 310a is mounted on the three-axis positioning assembly 200a, the mounting bearing is mounted on the tool mounting bracket 310a, and the tool 320a is rotatably mounted on the mounting bearing via a mounting shaft, allowing the tool 320a to rotate freely relative to the tool mounting bracket 310a. During the cutting process, the tool 320a primarily applies compressive force to the module 100 to be cut, achieving cutting of the module 100, and the tool 320a can rotate freely via the mounting bearing.

[0071] Specifically, a stepped hole is provided on the tool mounting bracket 310a, and the mounting bearing is set at the large diameter end of the stepped hole. A first bearing fastener and a second bearing fastener are respectively provided on both sides of the stepped hole on the tool mounting bracket 310a. The first bearing fastener and the second bearing fastener are used to press and limit the inner ring and outer ring of the mounting bearing, respectively. The mounting shaft passes through the first bearing fastener, the inner ring of the mounting bearing and the second bearing fastener in sequence, and a tool 320a is fixedly connected to one end of the shaft.

[0072] During cutting, the cutting tool 320a is first controlled by the three-axis positioning assembly 200a to descend until it contacts the side plate (or end plate, which is generally made of aluminum) of the module 100 to be cut at the cutting station. It then continues to descend for cutting. During the cutting process, the cutting tool 320a rotates freely along the descent path. In this state, at a single cutting point, the cutting tool 320a has no relative movement with the side plate of the module 100 to be cut; only a pressing force is applied until the side plate is cut from top to bottom. The rotation of the cutting tool 320a is transmitted through the mounting bearing and mounting shaft. This cutting method does not involve high-speed rotation and does not generate localized high temperatures; the cutting process is completed only by locally applying a small amount of pressure to stretch and deform the aluminum plate.

[0073] It should be noted that, depending on the different modules 100 to be cut, the cutting points need to be selected in areas without battery cells on the back of the module 100 to be cut, as well as in areas supported by end plates or other workpieces, to prevent the extrusion pressure from being applied to the battery cells and causing danger.

[0074] Among them, the mounting bearing can be a double-row contact ball bearing. Double-row contact ball bearings have the advantages of high precision, strong load-bearing capacity, long service life, and high reliability. They are also easy to maintain and can effectively improve cutting accuracy, load-bearing capacity, and reduce friction when the tool 320a rotates.

[0075] Furthermore, the tool 320a can be configured as a disc, with its end away from the mounting shaft connected to a tool drive. The tool drive can then drive the mounting shaft to rotate the tool 320a, thereby adjusting the cutting position of the disc-shaped tool 320a to ensure consistent cutting performance across all circumferential positions. During the cutting process, the tool drive can also rotate the tool 320a slowly to avoid localized overheating.

[0076] The cutting edge of the tool 320a can be set to V-shape, which corresponds to extruding a V-shaped notch on the side plate of the module 100 to be cut.

[0077] The aforementioned three-axis positioning component 200a can be a three-axis hardened rail mechanism or similar positioning component that can drive the tool 320a to move freely in three mutually perpendicular directions in space, to be compatible with different cutting conditions. Furthermore, the three-axis hardened rail mechanism has good force distribution, can accurately position the tool 320a, improve cutting accuracy, and reduce tool 320a wear. The specific structure and operating mechanism of the three-axis hardened rail mechanism are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0078] Combination Figure 1 An in-situ detection sensor 110a is provided on the tool holder 100a. The in-situ detection sensor 110a can detect whether the module 100 to be cut has been transported to the cutting station, and can also detect whether there are any special circumstances such as abnormal shape of the module 100 to be cut. The in-situ detection sensor 110a can be a laser displacement sensor or other types.

[0079] To improve the positioning effect of the module 100 to be cut, a module clamping component 400a is also provided on the tool holder 100a. The module clamping component 400a is vertically mounted on the tool holder 100a. When the module 100 to be cut is transported to the cutting station, the module clamping component 400a can automatically descend and clamp on the top of the module 100 to ensure the stability of the cutting process. At the same time, the lifting action of the module clamping component 400a can be compatible with modules 100 to be cut of different heights and sizes.

[0080] Specifically, the module clamping assembly 400a includes a clamping cylinder, a guide rail, and a pressure plate. The clamping cylinder and the guide rail are both mounted on the tool holder 100a, with the guide rail extending vertically. The pressure plate is slidably mounted on the guide rail and is connected to the clamping cylinder via a transmission mechanism. The pressure plate is used to clamp the top of the module 100 to be cut.

[0081] To prevent empty material from occurring, an empty material detection sensor 410a is also provided on the module clamping assembly 400a. During the process of the pressure plate moving downward to clamp the module 100 to be cut, the empty material detection sensor 410a can be used to detect whether there is a module 100 to be cut on the cutting station, thus achieving foolproofing.

[0082] In one embodiment, after the module 100 to be cut is in place, the position detection sensor 110a can be used to detect whether the module 100 to be cut is within the range set by the cutting station. Then, the cutter 320a is moved according to the required cutting position, and the clamping cylinder drives the pressure plate to move downward until the module 100 to be cut is clamped.

[0083] Furthermore, a pressure sensing plate is provided on the surface of the pressure plate used to press the module 100 to be cut. When the sensing plate senses that the preset pressure has been reached, the pressure plate stops moving downward. After the cutting is completed, the pressure plate resets.

[0084] The clamping position of the pressure plate can also be controlled by placing a workpiece equipped with a sensor (such as a slotted photoelectric sensor) on the pressure plate. Specifically, the workpiece is movably mounted on the pressure plate. During the downward movement of the pressure plate, the workpiece first contacts the module 100 to be cut, and as the pressure plate continues to move downward, the workpiece is pushed by the module 100 to be cut. When the pressure plate contacts the module 100 to be cut, the workpiece is pushed by the module 100 to trigger the sensor, realizing the on-site check of the module 100 to be cut, and at the same time, the pressure plate stops moving. When the pressure plate leaves the module 100 to be cut, the workpiece can automatically reset under the action of gravity.

[0085] Combination Figure 1 The pressure plates are two symmetrically arranged relative to the tool assembly 300a, and are used to press the modules 100 to be cut located on both sides of the tool 320a according to the actual working conditions.

[0086] Because the cutting module 100 has different positions (directions) for cutting, and considering safety issues, after one end plate of the module 100 is cut, the module 100 needs to be pulled back a certain distance from the cutting station to the loading station to adjust its cutting position before subsequent cutting. Therefore, the loading platform needs to have a rotation function to enable the module 100 to be cut to rotate, which facilitates the cutting of the components.

[0087] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the loading platform includes a first support platform 100b, a second support platform 200b, and a support assembly. The first support platform 100b is used to support the module 100 to be cut. The second support platform 200b is slidably mounted on the machine base via a loading guide rail, and the two ends of the loading guide rail extend to the positions of the loading station and the cutting station, respectively. The support assembly is mounted on the second support platform 200b, and the first support platform 100b is rotatably mounted on the support assembly. Through the support assembly, the first support platform 100b can drive the module 100 to be cut to rotate at least 180° relative to the second support platform 200b.

[0088] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 3 The machine base is equipped with two feeding guide rails. Six sliders are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the second support platform 200b, each designed to slide along one of the two feeding guide rails to ensure the load-bearing capacity of the feeding guide rails on the second support platform 200b. A limiting mechanism is installed at the end of each feeding guide rail to limit the extreme sliding position of the second support platform 200b. Correspondingly, a platform positioning detection element can be installed on the limiting mechanism to detect whether the feeding platform has moved to the cutting station.

[0089] Furthermore, a floating mechanism is provided between the second support platform 200b and the slider to reduce assembly difficulty. A buffer mechanism is provided at the end of the feeding guide rail to cushion the sliding motion of the feeding platform when it slides to the cutting station.

[0090] Protective components can be installed around the loading platform to improve the safety of its operation, as long as they do not affect the loading action of the platform.

[0091] Because the module 100 to be cut is heavy, weighing up to 200 kilograms, and during the cutting process, the module 100 to be cut needs to be pushed to the edge of the loading platform for positioning, the loading platform of the existing technology has the problem that the load-bearing capacity of the support components is insufficient due to the influence of the load-bearing capacity of the support components, which causes the first support platform 100b to deform.

[0092] In a specific embodiment disclosed in this invention, combined with Figure 4The support assembly includes a main support bearing 300b and a counterweight support bearing 310b. The first rotating part of the main support bearing 300b is located at the middle position of the first support platform 100b, and the second rotating part is located on the second support platform 200b. The first rotating part is rotatably mounted on the second rotating part, so that the first support platform 100b can rotate around the main support bearing 300b (the second rotating part) as the center. The movable part of the counterweight support bearing 310b is used to roll with the edge position of the first support platform 100b (i.e., the positioning position of the module 100 to be cut relative to the first support platform 100b). The fixed part is located on the second support platform 200b, and the movable part is rotatably mounted on the fixed part. The counterweight support bearing 310b can support the position of the first support platform 100b used to place the module 100 to be cut without affecting the rotation of the first support platform 100b.

[0093] Specifically, the fixing part of the eccentric support bearing 310b is set at a position close to the maximum rotation radius of the first support platform 100b with the main support bearing 300b as the center, and supports the first support platform 100b when the module to be cut 100 is eccentrically positioned on the first support platform 100b (side positioning, the module to be cut 100 is used to be positioned at one corner of the rectangular first support platform 100b), so as to avoid deformation of the first support platform 100b.

[0094] The main support bearing 300b can be a crossed roller bearing, which has the advantages of high precision, high durability, and low noise. Specifically, a rotating ring is provided on the first support platform 100b, and the rotating ring is connected to the inner ring (first rotating part) of the crossed roller bearing; a rotating base is provided on the second support platform 200b, and a bearing fixing component is provided on the rotating base, which is connected to the outer ring (second rotating part) of the crossed roller bearing.

[0095] The eccentric support bearing 310b is used to improve the load-bearing capacity of the first support platform 100b. In one embodiment, the eccentric support bearing 310b includes six curved roller bearing followers, which are mechanical structural components mainly used to support heavy loads and reduce friction and wear.

[0096] Furthermore, the fixing part of the eccentric support bearing 310b is set on the second support platform 200b by a lifting adjustment rod. The lifting adjustment rod is provided with a slide groove extending in the vertical direction. By fixing it at different positions in the slide groove, the height of the fixing part on the second support platform 200b can be adjusted.

[0097] To ensure precise cutting of the module 100 to be cut on the first support platform 100b, a positioning component is needed to position the module. Specifically, the loading platform also includes a first positioning component 400b and a second positioning component 410b. The first positioning component 400b includes a first fixing part and a first moving part. The first fixing part is disposed at both ends of the first support platform 100b, and the first moving part is disposed on the machine base. It is used to press the module 100 to be cut into contact with the first fixing part near the bias support bearing 310b (since the first support platform 100b is rotatable relative to the second support platform 200b, both first fixing parts may be closer to the bias support bearing 310b). The first moving part is driven by a drive cylinder and can move in the direction of the module 100 to be cut, so as to position and clamp the two ends of the module 100 to be cut along the width direction.

[0098] The second positioning component 410b includes a second fixing part and a second moving part. The second fixing part is disposed on both sides of the first support platform 100b, and the second moving part is disposed on the machine base. The structure and working mechanism of the second positioning component 410b correspond to those of the first positioning component 400b, and it is used to clamp the two ends of the module 100 to be cut along the length direction.

[0099] The first and second moving parts can also be mounted on the second support platform 200b, as long as they do not affect the rotation of the first support platform 100b. The first positioning component 400b and the second positioning component 410b can clamp modules 100 of different sizes to be cut. It should be noted that the clamping positions of the first positioning component 400b and the second positioning component 410b must avoid the cutting position of the module 100 to be cut.

[0100] Combination Figure 3 The first fixing part includes a fixing block and a sliding block. There are two fixing blocks and two sliding blocks, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the first support platform 100b. The fixing blocks are disposed near the eccentric support bearing 310b before and after the first support platform 100b rotates (that is, the two fixing blocks are disposed at diagonal positions of the rectangular first support platform 100b). The sliding blocks are movably disposed on both sides of the first support platform 100b. The sliding blocks are disposed to cooperate with the fixing blocks to fit against the larger module 100 to be cut, so as to achieve positioning and clamping.

[0101] The cutting component cuts the four parallel edges of the module 100 to be cut, which extend vertically, during the cutting process. Figure 3After the first end of the module 100 to be cut along the length direction is attached to the second fixing part, the two edges of the second end of the module 100 to be cut along the length direction can be cut sequentially by the cutting component. After the cutting is completed, the first support platform 100b is rotated 180° relative to the second support platform 200b, and the first positioning component 400b and the second positioning component 410b are used to reposition and clamp the module 100 to be cut at a position close to the eccentric support bearing 310b. At this time, the second end of the module 100 to be cut along the length direction is attached to the first fixing part, and the two edges of the first end along the length direction can be cut by the cutting component, thereby completing the cutting of the two end plates and two side plates of the module 100 to be cut in the circumferential direction.

[0102] Specifically, the first positioning component 400b and the second positioning component 410b serve as the Y-direction positioning component and the X-direction positioning component, respectively. The first moving part includes a servo motor and a linear module, and the second moving part includes a servo motor and a linear module. After the module 100 to be cut is transported from the loading station to the cutting station inside the device (within the protective housing), the first moving part pushes the module 100 to be cut, first pushing it into position in the Y direction, and then the first moving part retracts about 10mm. Then, the second moving part pushes along the X direction, pushing the module 100 to be cut into position, and then the second moving part retracts about 10mm. Finally, the first and second moving parts advance synchronously and clamp the module 100 to be cut together. The module clamping component 400a of the cutting component can achieve clamping and positioning of the module 100 to be cut in three directions.

[0103] Based on the actual layout of the module cutting device, the second moving part can be set on the lifting cylinder, and the lifting of the second moving part can avoid the feeding action of the clamping mechanism.

[0104] Handles are also provided on the first support platform 100b or the second support platform 200b to facilitate manual pulling of the loading platform for movement.

[0105] To achieve positioning of the first support platform 100b relative to the second support platform 200b, positioning holes are provided at corresponding positions on the first support platform 100b and the second support platform 200b. When the relative positions of the first support platform 100b and the second support platform 200b are adjusted, the two positioning holes are aligned. After inserting the positioning pin 500b, rotation of the first support platform 100b relative to the second support platform 200b can be prevented. Quick alignment of the first support platform 100b and the second support platform 200b can be achieved by inserting and removing the positioning pin 500b.

[0106] Among them, the positioning post 500b can be a knob plunger.

[0107] Furthermore, an alignment detection sensor is provided on the second support platform 200b to detect whether the first support platform 100b is aligned with the second support platform 200b, thereby preventing mistaken identity; a feeding sensor is also provided on the first support platform 100b to detect whether the module 100 to be cut has been received on the first support platform 100b.

[0108] The cutting components are set inside the protective housing of the module cutting device, that is, the cutting station is located inside the protective housing to achieve safe cutting. After the clamping mechanism feeds the module 100 to be cut and the feeding platform, the module 100 to be cut and the feeding platform can be manually pushed into the protective housing. Then the first positioning component 400b and the second positioning component 410b respectively act to clamp the module 100 to be cut in the preset position.

[0109] An insulating plate is also provided on the first support platform 100b. The module 100 to be cut is placed on the insulating plate. The insulating plate can be a Teflon plate. While providing insulation protection for the module 100 to be cut, it has a low coefficient of friction, which makes it easy for the module 100 to be cut to be pushed and moved by the first positioning component 400b and the second positioning component 410b.

[0110] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, after the clamping mechanism loads the material onto the loading platform, the operator manually pushes the loading platform into the protective housing until it is stopped at the cutting station by the limiting mechanism. After the platform is detected as being in place by the platform positioning detection component, the operator presses the start button, and the roller shutter of the protective housing descends. The first positioning component 400b and the second positioning component 410b respectively position and clamp the module 100 to be cut in the Y and X directions. Then, the three-axis hard rail mechanism moves, and according to the cutting position required for different models of the module 100 to be cut, the moving tool component 300a moves into place. The positioning detection sensor 110a detects that the module 100 to be cut is currently in place and within the distance set range, indicating that there is no abnormality in the module 100 to be cut. Then, the module clamping component 400a descends, and after the empty material detection sensor 410a detects that the module 100 to be cut is in place, the module clamping component 400a positions and clamps the module 100 to be cut in the Z direction, the tool component 300a descends, and the cutting is performed.

[0111] Depending on the process, the cutter assembly 300a cuts 0.5mm ± 0.1mm at a time until the side plate or end plate is removed. After cutting is completed, the three-axis hard rail mechanism returns to its initial position, the first positioning assembly 400b and the second positioning assembly 410b reset, the roller shutter door opens, and a completion signal is given.

[0112] When disassembling the square lithium module 100 to be cut, it is necessary to cut its side plates and end plates. Before cutting the square lithium module 100 to be cut, it is necessary to reliably clamp it with a clamping mechanism for feeding. If the square lithium module 100 to be cut is heavy during the feeding process, it may fall. This will not only damage the module 100 to be cut, but also pose a safety hazard.

[0113] Therefore, to achieve reliable feeding, the clamping mechanism disclosed in this embodiment of the invention includes clamping components, which are two sets disposed on the machine base. The module 100 to be cut is clamped between the two sets of clamping components, and then moved by the clamping components to achieve position transfer. The clamping components include a first mounting bracket 300c, a first clamping component 100c, and a supporting component 200c. The first mounting bracket 300c is disposed on the machine base, and the first clamping component 100c is disposed on the first mounting bracket 300c. The two first clamping components 100c in the two sets of clamping components can respectively clamp the two ends of the module 100 to be cut, thereby moving the module 100 to be cut.

[0114] The support assembly 200c includes a support member 210c, which is disposed on the first clamping assembly 100c and has a support leg for supporting the bottom of the module 100 to be cut. The support member 210c is disposed on the first clamping assembly 100c and can move closer to the position of the module 100 to be cut in sync with the clamping action of the first clamping assembly 100c. During the process of clamping the module 100 to be cut and transporting it, the supporting leg is located at the bottom of the module 100 to be cut and is spaced at a preset distance from the module 100 to be cut. This preset distance can be zero or non-zero, to correspond to the scenarios where the supporting leg is in contact with the module 100 to be cut or has a certain gap when clamped. That is, the distance that can support the module 100 to be cut when it falls is within the preset distance range, so that the supporting leg can catch the module 100 to be cut when it falls, and prevent the module 100 to be cut from falling due to malfunction.

[0115] The clamping mechanism disclosed in this embodiment of the invention can clamp the module 100 to be cut and realize the transfer of the module 100 to be cut. The added support component 200c can support the bottom of the module 100 to be cut, preventing the module 100 to be cut from falling during transportation. It can be used for feeding square lithium modules 100 to be cut and greatly improves the safety and reliability of the transfer process of square lithium modules 100 to be cut.

[0116] Specifically, in one embodiment, the first clamping assembly 100c includes a first clamping member 110c and a first driving member 120c. The first driving member 120c is disposed on the first mounting bracket 300c, and its output end is connected to the first clamping member 110c, for driving the two first clamping members 110c to move closer to each other and clamp the module 100 to be cut. The two first clamping members 110c in the two sets of clamping assemblies can be respectively clamped at both ends of the module 100 to be cut, thereby driving the moving module 100 to be cut to move. A support member 210c is disposed on the first clamping member 110c.

[0117] The first driving component 120c mentioned above can be a clamping cylinder. Furthermore, in order to adjust the clamping force of the first clamping assembly 100c, a pressure reducing valve for adjusting its clamping force is provided on the first driving component 120c.

[0118] To facilitate model change, combined with Figure 5 The first clamping member 110c is a clamping plate with a plate-like structure. The clamping plate has multiple sets of mounting holes, which can be connected to different clamps. Different clamps can be matched with different shapes of the modules 100 to be cut, making it convenient to change the type.

[0119] Specifically, the clamp is disposed on the first side of the first clamping member 110c, and the first driving member 120c is disposed on the second side of the first clamping member 110c. The first driving member 120c can drive the first clamping member 110c to move so that the clamp clamps the module 100 to be cut.

[0120] In one embodiment, a clamping guide rail is provided on the first mounting bracket 300c. The clamping guide rail extends from the first side to the second side of the first clamping member 110c, and the first clamping member 110c slides in cooperation with the clamping guide rail to guide the clamping action.

[0121] It should be noted that, depending on the actual structure of the module cutting device, after the module to be cut 100 is lifted, it can be transferred by the horizontal movement of the first mounting bracket 300c on the machine base; after the module to be cut 100 is lifted, it can also be transported by the hoisting device.

[0122] Since the initial loading position of the module 100 to be cut is located on a large plane in most working conditions, the clamping mechanism needs to be lowered to the position corresponding to the module 100 to be cut before clamping. This causes the support member 210c to be lower than the first clamping member 110c (the first clamping member 110c clamps the end of the module 100 to be cut, and the support member 210c supports the bottom of the module 100 to be cut, that is, the support member 210c needs to be set at the bottom of the first clamping member 110c), which may interfere with the clamping of the first clamping assembly 100c. Therefore, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, the support member 210c is movably set on the first clamping member 110c and driven by the support driving member c, and the support driving member 220c is set on the first clamping member 110c. When the supporting assembly 200c is in the supporting state, the supporting legs are located below the first clamping member 110c and extend towards the position between the two first clamping members 110c in the two sets of clamping assemblies to support the bottom of the module 100 to be cut. When the supporting assembly 200c is in the non-supporting state, the supporting legs move away from the module 100 to be cut and are retracted on the first clamping member 110c to move away from the position of the module 100 to be cut, so as to avoid interfering with the descent and clamping action of the first clamping assembly 100c.

[0123] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 The two support components 210c marked in the diagram represent two states of the support component 210c. Before the first clamping assembly 100c clamps the module 100 to be cut, the support component 200c is in a non-supporting state, retracted and not affecting the clamping of the first clamping component 110c. After the first clamping assembly 100c clamps the module 100 to be cut, the support component 200c changes from a non-supporting state to a supporting state, and the supporting legs of the support component 210c rotate to the bottom of the module 100 to be cut, preventing the module 100 to be cut from falling. After reaching the loading station, the support component 200c first changes from a supporting state to a non-supporting state, and then the first clamping component 110c releases its grip on the module 100 to complete the loading.

[0124] Specifically, in one embodiment, the support member 210c is rotatably disposed on the first clamping member 110c and is connected to the support driving member 220c via a linkage assembly. The support driving member 220c can drive the support member 210c to rotate. In the non-supporting state, the support member 210c rotates to the second side of the first clamping member 110c and is opposite to the first clamping member 110c; in the supporting state, the support member 210c rotates to the position below the first clamping member 110c.

[0125] Combination Figure 5The support member 210c is a right-angled member with a cross-section similar to "L" shape, including mutually perpendicular and connected support legs and connecting parts. The connecting parts are sleeved on the linkage assembly. There are multiple support members 210c that are spaced apart on the first clamping member 110c. Multiple support members 210c located on the same first clamping member 110c can be driven by a support driving member 220c and synchronously connected through the linkage assembly to save installation space and cost.

[0126] All of the aforementioned supporting drive components 220c can be drive cylinders.

[0127] Specifically, in the non-supported state, the drive cylinder retracts, and the linkage mechanism is in its initial state. After the first clamping component 100c clamps the module 100 to be cut, the clamping mechanism moves up to a preset height (about 60mm, controlled by the Z-axis encoder of the KBK mechanism (crane)). After the height is reached, the drive cylinder extends, driving the linkage mechanism to rotate the support component 210c to directly below the module 100 to be cut, in order to prevent the module 100 to be cut from slipping due to unstable clamping during transportation. Then, the module 100 to be cut is moved horizontally for transportation.

[0128] In another embodiment, the support member 210c is translatably disposed on the first clamping member 110c. At the first extreme position of the translation of the support member 210c, the support member 210c is located on the second side of the first clamping member 110c and maintains a relatively far distance from the first clamping member 110c to avoid the plane where the initial position of the module 100 to be cut is located. After the first clamping assembly 100c clamps the module 100 to be cut and lifts it, when the support member 210c is translated to the second extreme position, the support member 210c moves to a position close to the first clamping member 110c. The supporting leg is disposed on the first side of the first clamping member 110c and located at the bottom of the module 100 to be cut.

[0129] In order to achieve insulation protection for the module 100 to be cut, the first clamping member 110c is provided with a first insulating buffer pad on the side that is used to clamp and fit against the module 100 to be cut.

[0130] Furthermore, a second insulating buffer pad 211c is provided on the supporting leg. When the supporting assembly 200c is in the supporting state, the second insulating buffer pad 211c is located on the side of the supporting leg facing the first clamping member 110c (the bottom of the module 100 to be cut). The first insulating buffer pad and the second insulating buffer pad 211c ensure that all parts of the clamping mechanism that come into contact with the module 100 to be cut are made of insulating material, avoiding any safety hazards.

[0131] To improve the reliability of clamping, the clamping assembly also includes a second mounting bracket and a second clamping assembly. The second mounting bracket is mounted on the machine base. The first clamping assembly 100c of the two sets of clamping assemblies is used to clamp the two ends of the module 100 to be cut along the width direction, and the second clamping assembly of the two sets of clamping assemblies is used to clamp the two ends of the module 100 to be cut along the length direction. By clamping the module 100 to be cut in four directions, the reliability of the feeding process can be guaranteed.

[0132] The aforementioned second clamping component is mainly used to assist the clamping of the first clamping component 100c and to serve as a support for the module 100 to be cut, so as to avoid the deviation between the center position of the module 100 to be cut and the center position of the clamping mechanism when it is in the initial position.

[0133] Specifically, the second clamping assembly includes a second clamping member and a second driving member. The second driving member is disposed on the second mounting bracket and is connected to the second clamping member in a transmission manner, for driving the two second clamping members to approach each other and clamp the module 100 to be cut.

[0134] Furthermore, a support component 200c can also be provided on the second clamping member to further improve the reliability and safety of the transportation process.

[0135] In order to accommodate different models of modules 100 to be cut, the first mounting bracket 300c is movably mounted on the machine base via the first spacing adjustment component. The distance between the two first mounting brackets 300c can be adjusted via the first spacing adjustment component, thereby accommodating the clamping of different models of modules 100 to be cut.

[0136] Correspondingly, the second mounting bracket is movably mounted on the base via the second spacing adjustment component.

[0137] The first and second spacing adjustment components can both be driven by lead screw structures. Specifically, the machine base is provided with a first and a second drive screw respectively arranged in two mutually perpendicular directions. The first mounting bracket 300c is mounted on the first drive screw via a first drive nut, and the second mounting bracket is mounted on the second drive screw via a second drive nut. The clamping size of the first clamping component 100c and the second clamping component can be adjusted by reversing the first and second drive screws, so as to clamp the modules 100 to be cut of different sizes. The adjustment is fast and highly adaptable.

[0138] To facilitate operators in quickly adjusting the clamping dimensions, a first scale is provided on the base along the moving direction of the first mounting bracket 300c, and a second scale is provided on the base along the moving direction of the second mounting bracket. Correspondingly, a first pointer is provided on the first mounting bracket 300c to indicate the scale on the first scale, and a second pointer is provided on the second mounting bracket to indicate the scale on the second scale.

[0139] When adjusting different widths, the operator can rotate the handwheel to drive the first transmission screw and the second transmission screw to rotate, and adjust them to the appropriate positions according to the readings of the first pointer and the second pointer on the first scale and the second scale, respectively, so as to quickly adjust the clamping size of the first mounting bracket 300c and the second mounting bracket.

[0140] In one embodiment, there is one first adjustment component, and the first transmission screw is a T-shaped screw with the first half turning left and the second half turning right, so as to achieve synchronous adjustment of the two first mounting brackets 300c; there are two second adjustment components, which are used to adjust the positions of the two second mounting brackets respectively. Handwheels are provided at the ends of both the first and second transmission screws for convenient manual adjustment by the operator.

[0141] To prevent operator errors, the clamping mechanism disclosed in this embodiment of the invention also includes a module detection component 400c, combined with... Figure 7 The module detection assembly 400c includes a sensor 430c, a detection unit, and a trigger unit. The sensor 430c is disposed on the base, the detection unit is movably disposed on the base via an elastic member 440c and is used to abut against the upper surface of the module 100 to be cut, and the trigger unit is disposed on the detection unit to trigger the sensor 430c.

[0142] When the module detection component 400c is in the first state, the detection part is not in contact with the module 100 to be cut, the elastic element 440c is in the initial state, and the sensing element 430c is not triggered. When the module detection component 400c is in the second state, the detection part is in contact with the module 100 to be cut, the elastic element 440c is in the compressed state, and the sensing element 430c is triggered by the triggering part.

[0143] Specifically, in one embodiment, the detection unit includes a guide rod 410c and a detection plate 420c. The guide rod 410c passes through the base and extends vertically. An elastic member 440c is sleeved on the guide rod 410c, located on the side of the base facing the module 100 to be cut, and its two ends abut against the base and the limiting part (which can be a limiting ring on the guide rod 410c) respectively. A triggering part is disposed at the first end of the guide rod 410c. A sensing member 430c is disposed on the side of the base away from the clamping assembly and is used to be triggered by the triggering part disposed at the first end of the guide rod 410c. At the same time, the triggering part can prevent the guide rod from falling off the base. The detection plate 420c is disposed on the guide rod 410c to approach the second end of the module 100 to abut against the upper surface of the module 100 to be cut.

[0144] Before the clamping assembly clamps the module 100 to be cut, the module detection assembly 400c can detect whether the module 100 to be cut is present at the clamping position. Specifically, during the process of the machine base descending to bring the clamping assembly closer to the module 100 to be cut, the detection plate 420c contacts the upper surface of the module 100 to be cut first as the machine base descends. As the machine base continues to descend, the elastic element 440c is compressed. When the elastic element 440c is compressed a certain distance, the guide rod 410c triggers the sensing element 430c, indicating that the module 100 to be cut is in place, thus avoiding the clamping mechanism's empty clamping action.

[0145] The elastic element 440c can also be set on the side of the machine base facing away from the module 100 to be cut. In this embodiment, the two ends of the elastic element 440c are respectively connected to the limiting part on the guide rod 410c and the machine base. When the module detection component 400c is in the second state, the elastic element 440c is in the stretched state, that is, the elastic element 440c is used to provide the resetting force of the detection part. Depending on the structure, the setting form of the elastic element 440c is also different.

[0146] Furthermore, combined Figure 7 The sensor 430c is triggered only after the elastic element 440c is compressed to its limit position. The support 210c has a certain distance from the bottom of the module 100 to be cut, so that after the module 100 to be cut falls, the elastic element 440c rebounds and immediately pushes the guide rod 410c and the detection plate 420c to reset, so that the end of the guide rod 410c is away from the position that can trigger the sensor 430c, so that the sensor 430c cannot sense that it is in place, indicating that the module 100 to be cut has slipped. This achieves foolproof protection and can also remind the operator of the occurrence of abnormal conditions. During this process, the support component 200c can protect the module 100 to be cut from falling.

[0147] Among them, the detection plate 420c is an insulating plate or an insulating layer is provided on the side of the detection plate 420c used to fit with the module 100 to be cut, so as to ensure the insulation protection of the module 100 to be cut; the elastic element 440c is a spring sleeved on the guide rod 410c; and the sensing element 430c is a sensor.

[0148] The module detection component 400c can also be equipped with various sensors (such as photoelectric sensors). Compared with the solution of using sensors to directly detect the in-situ state of the module 100 to be cut, the above-mentioned solution of using mechanical structure in conjunction with sensors for in-situ detection is more reliable and less prone to false detection.

[0149] Specifically, in one embodiment, combined with Figure 7 There are four guide rods 410c, and both ends of the detection plate 420c are fixed to two guide rods 410c. The module detection assembly 400c also includes a mounting plate 450c, and the sensing element 430c is disposed on the mounting plate 450c. The mounting plate 450c is disposed on the side of the machine base away from the module 100 to be cut, and the guide rods 410c pass through the mounting plate 450c.

[0150] The module detection component 400c is positioned above the middle position of the two clamping components. Without affecting its clamping action, it abuts against the upper surface of the module to be cut 100 to perform in-situ detection.
