Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of battery technology, and in particular to a pre-assembly method and system for a battery water cooling plate. Background Art

[0002] Normally, if the battery water cooling plate is supplied with a dust cap (such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, before installing the water pipe, you need to remove the dust cap so that the water pipe can be installed in the specified position of the battery water cooling plate.

[0003] The main function of the dust cap is to prevent dust and other impurities from entering the relevant interfaces or channels during storage and transportation. The main function of the water pipe is to pass cooling water. Through the circulation of water, the temperature distribution of each part of the battery is more uniform, avoiding the occurrence of local over-high or over-low temperatures, which helps to improve the stability of the overall performance of the battery.

[0004] At present, in the pre-assembly method of the battery water cooling plate, the removal of the dust cap of the battery water cooling plate and the installation of the water cooling pipe are respectively on two assembly lines, and the two assembly lines do not operate continuously, and need to be manually transferred from the assembly line for removing the dust cap of the battery water cooling plate to the assembly line for installing the water cooling pipe.

[0005] Among them, the dust cap of the battery water cooling plate can be removed through the following common methods: 1. Manual removal: The operator directly holds the dust cap with his hands, carefully applies upward or outward pulling force, and slowly pulls it out. 2. With the help of tools; you can use small tools such as needle-nosed pliers or tweezers to clamp the dust cap and gently pull it out. When using tools, be careful to avoid damaging the water cooling plate. 3. Assisted by pneumatic or electric tools: If the dust cap is installed tightly, consider using a small pneumatic or electric removal tool to remove it with appropriate force and movement.

[0006] Similarly, the water pipes for installing the battery water cooling plate can be manually inserted into the battery water cooling plate by an operator, and the inner diameters of the water pipes required for the battery water cooling plate are sometimes different, requiring the operator to select the required water pipes and insert them into the battery water cooling plate.

[0007] However, the existing technology has the following shortcomings: 1. Compared with automated operation, manual removal is slow, which affects the overall production efficiency and cannot meet the installation speed requirements for large-scale production; 2. The operator may use excessive force, causing damage to the water cooling plate or other components; 3. When selecting water pipes, checking one by one is slow, and the judgment standards and perspectives of different personnel may be different. There is a lack of unified objective standards, resulting in poor consistency and reliability of the results; 4. The accuracy of manual installation may not be as accurate as mechanical operation, which may affect the sealing effect, etc. Summary of the invention

[0049] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it, but the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0050] The above and other technical contents, features and effects of the present invention will be clearly presented in the following detailed description of the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. The directional terms mentioned in the following embodiments, such as up, down, left, right, front or back, etc., are only reference directions of the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are used to illustrate and not to limit the present invention. In addition, in all embodiments, the same reference numerals represent the same elements. Embodiment 1

[0051] Combination Figures 1 to 3 , a pre-assembly method of a battery water cooling plate comprises the following steps:

[0052] S1. Deliver multiple battery water-cooling plates 60 equipped with dust caps 70 to the capping station 20; determine whether the first surface and the second surface of the battery water-cooling plate 60 are equipped with dust caps 70; if the first surface of the battery water-cooling plate 60 is equipped with a dust cap 70, remove the dust cap 70 on the first surface at the capping station 20; if the second surface of the battery water-cooling plate 60 is equipped with a dust cap 70, remove the dust cap 70 on the second surface at the capping station 20;

[0053] S2. The battery water-cooling plate 60 with the dust cap 70 removed is transported to the pipe insertion station 40, and the first inner diameter water pipe and the second inner diameter water pipe are respectively loaded to the water pipe loading station 30; according to the model of the battery water-cooling plate 60, the water pipe required for the battery water-cooling plate 60 is determined; if the battery water-cooling plate 60 requires a first inner diameter water pipe, the first inner diameter water pipe is moved to the position where the battery water-cooling plate 60 needs to be inserted according to the first preset path at the pipe insertion station 40, and the water pipe is inserted into the battery water-cooling plate 60; if the battery water-cooling plate 60 requires a second inner diameter water pipe, the second inner diameter water pipe is moved to the position where the battery water-cooling plate 60 needs to be inserted according to the second preset path at the pipe insertion station 40, and the water pipe is inserted into the battery water-cooling plate 60;

[0054] S3. The battery water-cooling plate 60 inserted into the first inner diameter water pipe or the second inner diameter water pipe is transported to the inspection station 50; the inspection station 50 detects whether the surface gap between the first inner diameter water pipe or the second inner diameter water pipe and the battery water-cooling plate 60 meets the preset value after the first inner diameter water pipe or the second inner diameter water pipe is connected to the battery water-cooling plate 60; if it meets the preset value, it is judged as a qualified product; if it does not meet the preset value, it is judged as a defective product.

[0055] The present embodiment provides a pre-assembly method for a battery water-cooling plate, which integrates three functions: removing the dust cap of the battery water-cooling plate, plugging in the water pipe, and detecting the gap after the water pipe is plugged in, thereby ensuring that the operations of removing the dust cap and installing the water pipe are accurate, avoiding damage to the water-cooling plate or other components due to excessive force, improving production efficiency, and meeting the requirements for installation speed during large-scale production.

[0056] It should be noted that if Figure 1 As shown, the battery water cooling plate 60 is provided with a dust cap 70. The pre-assembly method of the battery water cooling plate provided in this embodiment is used to remove the dust cap 70 before installing the water pipe 80 and to install the water pipe 80 at the designated position of the battery water cooling plate 60 to obtain the following Figure 2 A battery water cooling plate with water pipes 80 is shown.

[0057] In this embodiment, the capping station 20, the water pipe loading station 30, the pipe inserting station 40 and the inspection station 50 are arranged along the conveying direction of the battery water cooling plate 60; wherein, the capping station 20 and the inspection station 50 are arranged on both sides of the conveying direction of the battery water cooling plate 60; the water pipe loading station 30 is arranged on one side of the conveying direction of the battery water cooling plate 60; and the pipe inserting station 40 is arranged above the conveying direction of the battery water cooling plate 60. It should be noted that the reason why the water pipe loading station 30 is only arranged on one side of the conveying direction of the battery water cooling plate 60 is to reduce the space required for the equipment. The water pipe loading station 30 can also be arranged on both sides of the conveying direction of the battery water cooling plate 60, then the first inner diameter water pipe and the second inner diameter water pipe are respectively loaded from both sides of the conveying direction of the battery water cooling plate 60. Among them, the inner diameters of the first inner diameter water pipe and the second inner diameter water pipe are different. In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the first inner diameter water pipe is larger than the second inner diameter water pipe.

[0058] In this embodiment, in step S1, when removing the dust cap 70 on the first surface or the dust cap 70 on the second surface, it is necessary to first position the battery water cooling plate 60 along the width direction, and then the cap removal station 20 positions the battery water cooling plate in the length direction. After positioning, the dust cap 70 is removed, and the removed dust cap 70 is collected at a designated location. Specifically, the cap removal station 20 can remove the dust cap through the dual functions of clamping and adsorption, and after removal, the dust cap 70 is transferred to a waste hopper (not marked in the figure) by loosening and / or blowing. Specifically, it can be transported to the waste hopper through a belt conveyor line (not marked in the figure) to centrally process the removed dust caps 70.

[0059] In this embodiment, in step S2, the first inner diameter water pipe and the second inner diameter water pipe are automatically loaded through a vibration plate (not shown in the figure). Among them, since the demand for the first inner diameter water pipe in the same batch of battery water cooling plates 60 is small, and the demand for the second inner diameter water pipe is large, the first inner diameter water pipe can be loaded manually, that is, the operator places the first inner diameter water pipe on the water pipe loading station 30 for loading, and the second inner diameter water pipe is automatically loaded through the vibration plate.

[0060] In this embodiment, in step S2, the first inner diameter water pipe and the second inner diameter water pipe are loaded in the loading channel of the water pipe loading station 30 to the rotation position of the water pipe loading station 30 in the first state, and the rotation position of the water pipe loading station 30 rotates the first inner diameter water pipe and the second inner diameter water pipe to the second state. It should be noted that the first state refers to the state in which the first inner diameter water pipe and the second inner diameter water pipe are horizontally placed in the loading channel of the water pipe loading station 30, and the second state refers to the rotation position of the water pipe loading station 30 to transform the first inner diameter water pipe and the second inner diameter water pipe from a horizontal state to a vertical state.

[0061] It can be understood that the first inner diameter water pipe and the second inner diameter water pipe are loaded in different loading channels of the water pipe loading station 30, and the rotating position of the water pipe loading station 30 can simultaneously place the first inner diameter water pipe and the second inner diameter water pipe, that is, the loading channel of the water pipe loading station 30 includes the first inner diameter loading channel and the second inner diameter loading channel; the rotating position of the water pipe loading station 30 includes the first inner diameter rotating position and the second inner diameter rotating position, and the first inner diameter rotating position and the second inner diameter rotating position are alternately arranged. When the first inner diameter water pipe is loaded to the loading channel of the water pipe loading station 30 and the second inner diameter water pipe needs to be loaded, the rotating position of the water pipe loading station 30 can be moved in the horizontal direction by a preset distance to switch from the first inner diameter loading channel to the second inner diameter loading channel, thereby facilitating the loading of the second inner diameter water pipe. Embodiment 2

[0062] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 5This embodiment provides a battery water cooling plate preassembly system, which uses the battery water cooling plate preassembly method provided in the first embodiment to preassemble the battery water cooling plate, including:

[0063] The stepping conveyor 10 is used to convey the battery water cooling plate 60 to the capping station 20, the tube insertion station 40 and the inspection station 50;

[0064] The capping device is arranged on the capping station 20, and is used to judge whether the first surface and the second surface of the battery water-cooling plate 60 are equipped with dust caps 70. If the first surface of the battery water-cooling plate 60 is equipped with a dust cap 70, the dust cap 70 on the first surface is removed at the capping station 20; if the second surface of the battery water-cooling plate 60 is equipped with a dust cap 70, the dust cap 70 on the second surface is removed at the detection capping station 20;

[0065] A feeding device, arranged at the water pipe feeding station 30, the water pipe feeding station 30 is used for feeding the first inner diameter water pipe and the second inner diameter water pipe;

[0066] The intubation device is arranged at the intubation station 40. The intubation station 40 determines the water pipe required by the battery water-cooling plate 60 according to the model of the battery water-cooling plate 60. If the battery water-cooling plate 60 requires a first inner diameter water pipe, the first inner diameter water pipe is moved to the position where the battery water-cooling plate 60 needs to be inserted according to the first preset path at the intubation station 40, and the water pipe is inserted into the battery water-cooling plate 60. If the battery water-cooling plate 60 requires a second inner diameter water pipe, the second inner diameter water pipe is moved to the position where the battery water-cooling plate 60 needs to be inserted according to the second preset path at the intubation station 40, and the water pipe is inserted into the battery water-cooling plate 60.

[0067] The detection device is arranged at the detection station 50. The detection station 50 detects whether the surface gap between the first inner diameter water pipe or the second inner diameter water pipe and the battery water cooling plate 60 meets the preset value after the first inner diameter water pipe or the second inner diameter water pipe is connected to the battery water cooling plate 60; if it meets the preset value, it is judged as a qualified product; if it does not meet the preset value, it is judged as a defective product.

[0068] This embodiment provides a pre-assembly system for a battery water cooling plate, which realizes automated operation, improves the speed of removing the dust cap 70, and improves the speed and accuracy of plugging in the water pipe 80, thereby improving the overall production efficiency.

[0069] In this embodiment, after the stepping conveyor 10 receives the conveying instruction, the conveying track of the stepping conveyor 10 gradually moves forward according to the set step distance, so as to move the battery water cooling plate 60 from the current station to the next station for related operations. During the startup process, the stepping conveyor 10 will intermittently pause to perform related operations such as removing the dust cap 70 and plugging the water pipe 80, and then continue to move forward step by step.

[0070] Furthermore, the two conveying tracks of the step conveyor platform 10 are respectively installed on the adjustment mechanism, and the adjustment mechanism can make the two conveying tracks relatively close or relatively far away, so that the step conveyor platform 10 is compatible with battery water cooling plates 60 of different lengths. The step conveyor platform 10 and the adjustment mechanism can be designed by those skilled in the art according to the functions to be achieved, and the step conveyor platform 10 and the adjustment mechanism are not the inventive point of this embodiment, and will not be described in detail here.

[0071] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 6 and Figure 7 The capping device includes a lifting mechanism 201 and a first capping mechanism 202 and a second capping mechanism 203 arranged on the lifting mechanism 201; the lifting mechanism 201 drives the first capping mechanism 202 and the second capping mechanism 203 to be relatively close to or away from each other in the height direction of the lifting mechanism 201.

[0072] Specifically, the lifting mechanism 201 includes a first linear motion module, and the first linear motion module is provided with two movable parts, and the two movable parts are respectively connected to the first capping mechanism 202 and the second capping mechanism 203 .

[0073] like Figure 8 As shown, the first capping mechanism 202 and the second capping mechanism 203 both include a rotary drive source 204, a clamping module 206 connected to the action end of the rotary drive source 204, and a suction nozzle 207 arranged on the clamping module 206. Specifically, the rotary drive source 204 can be a cylinder, the mounting portion of the cylinder is fixed on the bracket, and the axis of the piston rod of the cylinder is arranged at an angle with the horizontal surface of the bracket. This arrangement is to remove the dust cap 70, and the first capping mechanism 202 or the second capping mechanism 203 can rotate a certain angle to blow off the removed dust cap 70, so as to prevent the dust cap 70 from hitting the battery water cooling plate 60 and damaging the first surface or the second surface of the battery water cooling plate 60 when the dust cap 70 is blown off. The action end of the rotary drive source 204 is connected to the connecting seat 205, and the connecting seat 205 is used to fix the clamping module 206. The clamping module 206 can be a clamping cylinder, and the clamping cylinder has two action parts, and the two action parts are respectively connected to the clamping claws. The suction nozzle 207 is arranged between the two clamping jaws. The two clamping jaws are relatively close to each other and fit the outer periphery of the dust cap 70.

[0074] The working principle of the first capping mechanism 202 and the second capping mechanism 203 is as follows: Start the lifting mechanism 201, so that the first capping mechanism 202 and the second capping mechanism 203 are close to the first surface and the second surface of the battery water-cooling plate 60 respectively. According to the need to remove the dust cap 70 on the first surface or the second surface of the battery water-cooling plate 60, choose to start the first capping mechanism 202 or the second capping mechanism 203. The rotary drive source 204 pushes the clamping module 206 and the suction nozzle 207 close to the dust cap 70. In the initial state, the two jaws of the clamping module 206 are separated. When working, the two jaws of the clamping module 206 approach and clamp the dust cap 70. At the same time, the suction nozzle 207 can adsorb the dust cap 70. It should be noted that when the clamping force of the clamping module 206 is sufficient, the suction nozzle 207 can be used.

[0075] The lifting mechanism 201 is started, so that the first capping mechanism 202 and the second capping mechanism 203 are relatively separated, thereby removing the dust cap 70. After the dust cap 70 is removed, the rotating driving source 204 pushes the clamping module 206 and the suction nozzle 207 away from the battery water cooling plate 60. The two clamping claws of the clamping module 206 are separated and the suction nozzle 207 is ventilated, so that the dust cap 70 is transferred to the designated position.

[0076] In this embodiment, if Fig. 9 As shown, the feeding device includes a containing box body and at least one feeding mechanism whose at least part of the parts are contained in the containing box body; the feeding mechanism includes a feeding channel, a pushing module arranged on one side of the feeding channel, and a rotating mechanism arranged at the discharge end of the feeding channel; the pushing module pushes the water pipe 80 in the feeding channel to move to the discharge end of the feeding channel in a first state, and the rotating mechanism receives and rotates the water pipe 80 to a second state.

[0077] This embodiment provides four feeding mechanisms. For the convenience of description, the four feeding mechanisms are defined as a first feeding mechanism, a second feeding mechanism, a third feeding mechanism and a fourth feeding mechanism, wherein the first feeding mechanism and the second feeding mechanism are respectively used for feeding the first inner diameter water pipe and the second inner diameter water pipe, and the third feeding mechanism and the fourth feeding mechanism are respectively used for feeding the first inner diameter water pipe and the second inner diameter water pipe, then the first feeding mechanism and the third feeding mechanism have the same structure, and the second feeding mechanism and the fourth feeding mechanism have the same structure.

[0078] Specifically, combined Figures 9 to 11The first feeding mechanism and the third feeding mechanism both include a first feeding channel 302, a first pushing module 303 disposed on one side of the first feeding channel 302, and a first rotating mechanism disposed at the discharge end of the first feeding channel 302. The first pushing module 303 includes a first linear module 3031, a first connecting plate 3032 connected to the movable part of the first linear module 3031, a first pressing cylinder 3033 connected to the first connecting plate 3032, and a first pushing plate 3034 connected to the active end of the first pressing cylinder 3033. The first rotating mechanism includes a first rotating seat 304 and a plurality of first rotating cylinders disposed on the first rotating seat 304, and the active part of each first rotating cylinder is connected to a plug-in tube for plugging in the water pipe 80.

[0079] The first feeding channel 302 is used for feeding the first inner diameter water pipe. When the first inner diameter water pipe enters from the feeding end of the first feeding channel 302, the first linear module 3031 drives the first connecting plate 3032 to move to the feeding end of the first feeding channel 302. The first connecting plate 3032 drives the first clamping cylinder 3033 to move to the feeding end of the first feeding channel 302. The first clamping cylinder 3033 drives the first push plate 3034 to press against the surface of the first inner diameter water pipe. Then the first linear module 3031 drives the first connecting plate 3032 to move to the discharge end of the first feeding channel 302, so that the first inner diameter water pipe moves to the discharge end of the first feeding channel 302.

[0080] The second feeding mechanism and the fourth feeding mechanism both include a second feeding channel 305, a second pushing module 306 disposed on one side of the second feeding channel 305, and a second rotating mechanism disposed at the discharge end of the second feeding channel 305. The second pushing module 306 includes a second linear module 3061, a second connecting plate 3062 connected to the movable portion of the second linear module 3061, a second pressing cylinder 3063 connected to the second connecting plate 3062, and a second pushing plate 3064 connected to the active end of the second pressing cylinder 3063. The first rotating mechanism includes a second rotating seat 307 and a plurality of second rotating cylinders disposed on the second rotating seat 307, and the active portion of each second rotating cylinder is connected to a plug-in tube for plugging in the water pipe 80.

[0081] The second feeding channel 305 is used for feeding the second inner diameter water pipe. When the second inner diameter water pipe enters from the feeding end of the second feeding channel 305, the second linear module 3061 drives the second connecting plate 3062 to move to the feeding end of the second feeding channel 305. The second connecting plate 3062 drives the second pressing cylinder 3063 to move to the feeding end of the second feeding channel 305. The second pressing cylinder 3063 drives the second push plate 3064 to press against the surface of the second inner diameter water pipe. Then the second linear module 3061 drives the second connecting plate 3062 to move to the discharge end of the second feeding channel 305, so that the second inner diameter water pipe moves to the discharge end of the second feeding channel 305.

[0082] Further, the first rotating mechanism and the second rotating mechanism are both connected to the rotating seat moving module 308. The rotating seat moving module 308 includes an annular transmission belt 3081 having a power source, a first transmission wheel 3082 and a second transmission wheel 3083 arranged on the inner side of the transmission belt 3081, and a tensioning wheel 3084 arranged on the outer side of the transmission belt 3081. Correspondingly, guide rails are arranged at the bottom of the first rotating mechanism and the second rotating mechanism, and the first rotating mechanism and the second rotating mechanism move horizontally along the direction of the guide rails.

[0083] When the first inner diameter water pipe is loaded into the first loading channel 302 and the second inner diameter water pipe needs to be loaded, the first rotating mechanism and the second rotating mechanism move a preset distance in the horizontal direction through the rotating seat moving module 308 to switch from the first loading channel 302 to the second loading channel 305, thereby facilitating the loading of the second inner diameter water pipe.

[0084] In this embodiment, if Fig.12 As shown, the intubation device includes a truss and a plurality of manipulators arranged on the truss. Specifically, the truss includes a first crossbeam and a second crossbeam arranged in parallel. In order to match the first feeding mechanism, the second feeding mechanism, the third feeding mechanism and the fourth feeding mechanism, four manipulators are provided, namely the first manipulator 401, the second manipulator 402, the third manipulator 403 and the fourth manipulator 404, wherein the first manipulator 401 and the second manipulator 402 are both arranged on the first mobile frame and the first manipulator 401 and the second manipulator 402 can be relatively close or relatively far away on the first mobile frame, the third manipulator 403 and the fourth manipulator 404 are arranged on the second mobile frame and the third manipulator 403 and the fourth manipulator 404 can be relatively close or relatively far away on the second mobile frame, and the first mobile frame and the second mobile frame move on the first crossbeam and the second crossbeam.

[0085] Furthermore, the manipulator is equipped with a visual sensor that can accurately identify the battery water cooling plate 60, the dust cap 70 and the water pipe 80, and determine their precise positions in space, providing a basis for the precise grasping and operation of the manipulator, and can more autonomously complete the task of plugging in the water pipe 80, reducing dependence on human intervention.

[0086] In this embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown, the detection device includes at least one visual detection mechanism. The visual detection mechanism is used to collect image information of an object, and can be an industrial camera, etc. In terms of working principle, the image of the object is acquired by a camera, and transmitted to a computer via an image acquisition card. The image processing software performs various algorithm processing on the image, such as edge detection, feature extraction, image comparison, etc., and then makes judgments and decisions based on the set standards and rules, such as detecting whether the surface gap between the water pipe 80 and the battery water cooling plate 60 meets the preset value after the water pipe 80 and the battery water cooling plate 60 are connected.

[0087] The working principle of this embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, and will not be described in detail here.

[0088] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "setting" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0089] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived from these are still within the protection scope of the invention.
