[0054] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0055] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a battery groove gluing machine, including a frame 1, on which a turntable mechanism 2, a feeding mechanism 3, a side edge sealing and shaping mechanism 4, a groove gluing mechanism 5, a U-shaped glue applying mechanism 6, a lower tape clamping mechanism 7, a shaping mechanism 8, and a unloading mechanism 9 are arranged.

[0056] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of workstations are arranged around the turntable mechanism 2, and the plurality of workstations include a loading station, a side edge shaping waiting station, a side edge shaping station, a groove gluing station, a U-shaped glue applying station, a lower tape clamping station, a shaping station, and a unloading station in sequence. Eight product placement platforms 21 corresponding to the above-mentioned workstations are evenly arranged around the rotating table of the turntable mechanism 2, and the product placement platform 21 is used to place the battery 100 to be glued. The turntable mechanism 2 drives the battery 100 to be glued to rotate and switch between the loading station, the side edge shaping waiting station, the side edge shaping station, the groove gluing station, the U-shaped glue applying station, the lower tape clamping station, the shaping station, and the unloading station in sequence by rotating the table, saving the intermediate transmission mechanism, reducing the occupied area of ​​a single device, and improving the utilization rate of the production space, thereby improving the production efficiency, so as to obtain higher production benefits.

[0057] like Figure 1 , Figures 4 to 6As shown, in this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 3 includes a feeding belt line 31, a feeding manipulator 32, and a feeding correction component 33. The feeding belt line 31 is located at the feeding side of the feeding station, and is used to supply the battery 100 to be glued. The feeding manipulator 32 includes a horizontal moving module 321, an upper and lower material picking cylinder 322, a first vacuum material picking suction cup 323, and a second vacuum material picking suction cup 324. The upper and lower material picking cylinder 322 is arranged at the moving end of the horizontal moving module 321, and the first vacuum material picking suction cup 323 and the second vacuum material picking suction cup 324 are arranged at the driving end of the upper and lower material picking cylinder 322, and the first vacuum material picking suction cup 323 and the second vacuum material picking suction cup 324 are arranged at intervals. The feeding correction component 33 is located between the feeding belt line 31 and the feeding station, and is used to correct the battery 100 to be glued, and regularize the front, back, left, and right positions of the battery 100 to be glued, so as to facilitate the subsequent process.

[0058] When loading, the horizontal moving module 321 drives the upper and lower material picking cylinders 322 to move to the set position of the upper material belt line 31, and the material picking cylinder drives the first vacuum material picking suction cup 323 and the second vacuum material picking suction cup 324 to descend, so that the first vacuum material picking suction cup 323 adsorbs the battery 100 to be glued on the loading correction component 33, and the second vacuum material picking suction cup 324 adsorbs the battery 100 to be glued on the loading belt line 31, and then the upper and lower material picking cylinders 322 drive the first vacuum material picking suction cup 323 and the second vacuum material picking suction cup 324 to move upward. After the horizontal moving module 321 drives the upper and lower material picking cylinders 322 to move to the set position of the upper feeding station, the upper and lower material picking cylinders 322 drive the first vacuum material picking suction cup 323 and the second vacuum material picking suction cup 324 to descend, so that the battery 100 to be glued on the first vacuum material picking suction cup 323 is placed on the loading station, and the battery 100 to be glued on the second vacuum material picking suction cup 324 is placed on the loading correction component 33 for correction. In this cycle, the loading and correction of the battery 100 to be glued can be carried out simultaneously, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0059] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the side edge shaping mechanism 4 is located at the side edge shaping station, and the side edge shaping mechanism 4 includes a lifting motor 41, a front and rear moving module 42, a left and right moving module 43, two shaping arms 44, two shaping cylinders 45, and two shaping clamps 46. The front and rear moving module 42 is connected to the lifting end of the lifting motor 41, the left and right moving module 43 is connected to the moving end of the front and rear moving module 42, one end of the two shaping arms 44 is connected to the moving end of the left and right moving module 43, and the other end of the two shaping arms 44 is connected to a shaping cylinder 45. The two shaping clamps 46 are respectively arranged at the driving ends of the two shaping cylinders 45. In addition, the side edge shaping waiting station is arranged between the loading station and the side edge shaping station, which helps to improve production efficiency.

[0060] When the side edge shaping mechanism 4 is working, the distance between the two shaping arms 44 is adjusted by the left and right moving module 43 according to the spacing between the two side edges of the battery 100 to be glued, thereby adjusting the distance between the two shaping clamps 46. When the battery 100 to be glued rotates to the side edge shaping station, the lifting motor 41 drives the front and back moving module 42 to descend to the set position, and then the front and back moving module 42 drives the left and right moving module 43 to move forward. At the same time, the shaping cylinder 45 controls the opening and closing of the shaping clamp 46, so that the two shaping clamps 46 clamp the two side edges of the battery 100 to be glued, thereby regularizing the position of the two side edges of the battery 100 to be glued, preventing the two side edges of the battery 100 to be glued from bending, and facilitating the subsequent gluing.

[0061] In this embodiment, according to the gluing requirements of the groove of the battery 100 to be glued, the tape is divided into an upper tape and a lower tape according to the length of the tape. The upper tape is used to be attached to the upper surface of the groove of the battery 100 to be glued, and the lower tape is used to be attached to the lower surface of the groove of the battery 100 to be glued. The length of the upper tape is consistent with the length of the groove of the battery 100 to be glued, and the length of the lower tape is greater than the length of the groove of the battery 100 to be glued, which is convenient for gluing the side sealing edge of the groove of the battery 100 to be glued.

[0062] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 8 to 10 As shown, in this embodiment, the groove gluing mechanism 5 is located on the groove gluing station, and the groove gluing mechanism 5 includes an upper glue feeding component 51, an upper glue cutting component 52, an upper glue feeding component 53, a lower glue feeding component 54, a lower glue cutting component 55, and a lower glue feeding component 56. The upper glue feeding component 51 includes an upper unwinding roller 511, two upper guide rollers 512, an upper glue feeding motor 513, and an upper glue feeding component 514. The upper adhesive tape roll is placed on the upper unwinding roller 511, and the end of the upper adhesive tape enters the upper glue feeding component 514 after being guided by the two upper guide rollers 512, and the upper glue feeding component 514 is connected to the driving end of the upper glue feeding motor 513. The upper glue cutting component 52 includes an upper glue pressing motor 521, an upper glue pressing tongue 522, and an upper cutting scissors 523, and the upper glue pressing tongue 522 is connected to the driving end of the upper glue pressing motor 521.

The upper glue tape adsorption platform 532 is connected to the driving end of the upper glue motor 531 , and the upper glue tape adsorption platform 532 is located between the upper glue feeding component 514 and the upper glue pressing tongue 522 .

[0063] When the upper adhesive tape is being glued, the upper glue feeding motor 513 drives the upper glue feeding component 514 to move toward the upper adhesive tape adsorption platform 532, so that the upper adhesive tape is adsorbed on the upper adhesive tape adsorption platform 532, and then the upper glue pressing motor 521 drives the upper glue pressing tongue 522 to move toward the upper adhesive tape adsorption platform 532, so that the upper glue pressing tongue 522 and the upper adhesive tape adsorption platform 532 cooperate with each other to press the end of the upper adhesive tape extended by the upper glue feeding component 514, and then the upper glue feeding motor 513 drives the upper glue feeding component 514 to move to a set position in a direction away from the upper adhesive tape adsorption platform 532, and then the upper cutting knife 523 cuts according to the set length of the upper adhesive tape, and then the upper glue pressing motor 521 drives the upper glue pressing tongue 522 to move to a set position in a direction away from the upper adhesive tape adsorption platform 532, and finally the upper glue pasting motor 531 drives the upper adhesive tape adsorption platform 532 to move toward the groove of the battery 100 to be glued, and the upper adhesive tape is attached to the upper surface of the groove of the battery 100 to be glued.

[0064] As 8 to Fig.10 As shown, in this embodiment, the lower glue feeding assembly 54 includes a lower unwinding roller 541, two lower guide rollers 542, a lower glue feeding motor 543, and a lower glue feeding component 544. The lower adhesive tape roll is placed on the lower unwinding roller 541. The end of the lower adhesive tape enters the lower glue feeding component 544 after being guided by the two lower guide rollers 542, and the lower glue feeding component 544 is connected to the driving end of the lower glue feeding motor 543. The lower glue cutting assembly 55 includes a lower glue pressing motor 551, a lower glue pressing tongue 552, and a lower cutting scissors 553. The lower glue pressing tongue 552 is connected to the driving end of the lower glue pressing motor 551. The lower glue pasting assembly 56 includes a lower glue pasting motor 561 and a lower adhesive tape adsorption platform 562. The lower adhesive tape adsorption platform 562 is connected to the driving end of the lower glue pasting motor 561, and the lower adhesive tape adsorption platform 562 is located between the lower glue feeding component 544 and the lower glue pressing tongue 552.

[0065] When the lower tape is being glued, the lower glue feeding motor 543 drives the lower glue feeding component 544 to move toward the lower tape adsorption platform 562, so that the lower tape is adsorbed on the lower tape adsorption platform 562, and then the lower glue pressing motor 551 drives the lower glue pressing tongue 552 to move to the lower tape adsorption platform 562, so that the lower glue pressing tongue 552 and the lower tape adsorption platform 562 cooperate with each other to press the end of the lower tape extended by the lower glue feeding component 544, and then the lower glue feeding motor 543 drives the lower glue feeding component 544 to move to a set position in a direction away from the lower tape adsorption platform 562, and then the lower cutting knife 553 cuts according to the set length of the lower tape, and then the lower glue pressing motor 551 drives the lower glue pressing tongue 552 to move to a set position in a direction away from the lower tape adsorption platform 562, and finally the lower glue pasting motor 561 drives the lower tape adsorption platform 562 to move toward the groove of the battery 100 to be glued, and the lower tape is attached to the lower surface of the groove of the battery 100 to be glued.

[0066] In this embodiment, the upper gluing assembly 53 and the lower gluing assembly 56 simultaneously glue the grooves of the battery 100 to be glued, that is, the groove gluing mechanism 5 can achieve double-sided gluing of the grooves of the battery 100 to be glued, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0067] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Fig.11 , Fig.12 As shown, in this embodiment, since the length of the lower adhesive tape is greater than the length of the groove of the battery 100 to be glued, it is necessary to wrap the portion of the lower adhesive tape that exceeds the groove of the battery 100 to be glued around the side edge of the battery 100 to be glued. The U-shaped glue applying mechanism 6 is arranged on the U-shaped glue applying station, and the U-shaped glue applying mechanism 6 includes left and right limit cylinders 61, upper and lower glue applying cylinders 62, and two glue applying rollers 63. The left and right limit cylinders 61 are connected to the driving ends of the upper and lower glue applying cylinders 62, and the two glue applying rollers 63 are connected to the driving ends of the left and right limit cylinders 61. When the battery 100 to be glued rotates to the U-shaped glue applying station, the left and right limit cylinders 61 adjust the distance between the two glue applying rollers 63 according to the spacing between the two side edge seals of the battery 100 to be glued, and then the upper and lower glue applying cylinders 62 drive the two glue applying rollers 63 to apply the lower adhesive tape upward along the outer sides of the two side edge seals of the battery 100 to be glued, so that the lower adhesive tape is U-shaped.

[0068] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Fig.13 As shown, in this embodiment, since the lower adhesive tape is U-shaped, a lower adhesive tape clamping mechanism 7 is also required to clamp the end of the lower adhesive tape into the groove of the battery 100 to be glued. The lower adhesive tape clamping mechanism 7 includes a clamping lifting motor 71, a front-to-back moving cylinder 72, two left-to-right moving motors 73, two clamp cylinders 74, and two tightening clamps 75. The front-to-back moving cylinder 72 is connected to the lifting end of the clamping lifting motor 71, the two left-to-right moving motors 73 are both connected to the moving ends of the front-to-back moving cylinder 72, the two clamp cylinders 74 are respectively connected to the moving ends of the two left-to-right moving motors 73, and the two tightening clamps 75 are respectively connected to the driving ends of the two clamp cylinders 74.

[0069] When the battery 100 to be glued is rotated to the lower tape clamping station, the clamping lifting motor 71 drives the front and rear moving cylinder 72 to move downward, and the front and rear moving cylinder 72 drives the two left and right moving motors 73 to move forward to approach the battery 100 to be glued, and then the two left and right moving motors 73 drive the corresponding clamp cylinders 74 to move to the set position according to the spacing between the two side seals of the battery 100 to be glued, and then the two clamp cylinders 74 respectively drive the corresponding tightening clamps 75 to clamp the end of the lower tape, and then the two left and right moving motors 73 respectively drive the corresponding clamp cylinders 74 to move toward each other, so that the two tightening clamps 75 bend the end of the lower tape, and then the clamping lifting motor 71 drives the two left and right moving motors 73 to descend, so that the end of the lower tape is bent into the groove of the battery 100 to be glued, and finally the two clamp cylinders 74 respectively drive the corresponding tightening clamps 75 to loosen the end of the lower tape, so as to wrap the part of the lower tape that exceeds the groove of the battery 100 to be glued around the side seal of the battery 100 to be glued.

The upper shaping plate 83 and the lower shaping plate 84 are both connected to the lifting end of the shaping lifting motor 81, the upper shaping plate 83 is connected to the driving end of the downward pressure shaping cylinder 82, and the bottom shape of the upper shaping plate 83 is adapted to the groove of the battery 100 to be glued. When the battery 100 to be glued is rotated to the shaping station, the shaping lifting motor 81 drives the upper shaping plate 83 and the lower shaping plate 84 to rise and fall, so that the upper shaping plate 83 is in contact with the top of the groove of the battery 100 to be glued, and the lower shaping plate 84 is in contact with the bottom of the groove of the battery 100 to be glued, and then the shaping cylinder 82 is pressed down to drive the upper shaping plate 83 to move downward, so that the upper shaping plate 83 and the lower shaping plate 84 can regularize the tape of the groove of the battery 100 to be glued, so that the tape is tightly attached to the groove of the battery.

[0071] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Fig.15 , Fig.16 As shown, in this embodiment, the unloading mechanism 9 is located on the unloading station, and the unloading mechanism 9 includes an unloading manipulator 91 and an unloading belt line 92. The unloading belt line 92 is located on the unloading side of the unloading station and is used to output the battery with the adhesive tape attached. When the battery with the adhesive tape attached rotates to the unloading station, the unloading manipulator 91 moves it to the unloading belt line 92, thereby completing the adhesive application of the battery groove; the above operation is repeated until the adhesive application work of all the batteries 100 to be adhesively attached is completed.

[0072] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for gluing a battery groove, comprising the following steps:

[0073] Step 1: The feeding mechanism inputs the battery to be glued;

[0074] Step 2: The side sealing shaping mechanism clamps and regularizes the two side sealing edges of the battery to be glued;

[0075] Step 3: The groove gluing mechanism glues the upper and lower surfaces of the groove of the battery to be glued;

[0076] Step 4: The U-shaped glue applying mechanism applies glue to the adhesive tape on the lower surface of the groove of the battery to be glued, so that the adhesive tape is U-shaped;

[0077] Step 5: The lower tape clamping mechanism clamps the end of the U-shaped tape into the groove of the battery to be glued;
