Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of flexible flat cabling processing equipment, and more particularly to a cabling edge-changing system. Background Technology

[0002] In new energy equipment, especially in new energy storage devices, flexible flat cables are widely used. These cables can be bent arbitrarily, facilitating their placement within the energy storage device. Furthermore, their flat shape minimizes space usage, improving space utilization and integration within the energy storage device. Within these devices, the flexible flat cables typically connect the battery cells and interfaces at their respective ends.

[0003] In the processing equipment for flexible flat cables, the material is in roll form. It is fed as a strip along a first direction and then cut into flexible flat cables of appropriate length. Subsequent processing involves multiple processing devices that process both ends of the flexible flat cable. When processing one end of the flexible flat cable, it is conveyed by a conveyor system, with multiple processing devices positioned on one side of the conveyor system. When processing the other end, it is conveyed by another conveyor system, with multiple processing devices positioned on one side of this conveyor system. Therefore, to complete the processing of both ends of the flexible flat cable, it is necessary to perform edge-changing clamping, processing the corresponding ends by clamping different ends. The conveyor system typically uses a fixture to clamp the flexible flat cable at the end, exposing the part to be processed. For example, the first end of the flexible flat cable protrudes from the fixture; this exposed part is used to process a connector or attach a reinforcing plate. The clamping position of the conveyor system is relatively close to the end position. In addition, flexible flat cabling is a flexible structure, and it is prone to bending and sagging, which makes it difficult to transfer and move. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the technical problem of difficult clamping and side-changing of flexible flat cabling in the prior art, one of the objectives of this invention is to provide a cabling side-changing system.

[0005] One of the objectives of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A cable switching system is used to transfer flexible flat cables between a first transmission system and a second transmission system. The cable switching system includes a transfer device, a transfer device, and a clamping device.

[0007] The transfer device includes an X-axis moving platform and a first gripper mechanism. The X-axis moving platform drives the first gripper mechanism to move along the X-axis direction. The first gripper mechanism is disposed on the X-axis moving platform for gripping the first end of the flexible flat cable from the unloading position of the first conveying system.

[0008] The transfer device includes an X-axis transfer platform and a second gripper mechanism. The X-axis transfer platform is disposed between the transfer device and the clamping device to drive the second gripper mechanism to move along the X-axis direction. The second gripper mechanism is disposed on the X-axis transfer platform and located on the moving trajectory of the flexible flat cable to clamp the middle part of the flexible flat cable.

[0009] The clamping device includes a Y-axis moving platform and a third gripper mechanism. The Y-axis moving platform drives the third gripper mechanism to move along the Y-axis and through the movement trajectory of the flexible flat cable and the loading position of the second conveying system. The third gripper mechanism is located on the Y-axis moving platform to clamp the second end of the flexible flat cable conveyed by the second gripper mechanism.

[0010] Optionally, the wiring and edge-changing system further includes two rotating devices, which are respectively located at the loading position and the unloading position, for rotating the pressure block on the corresponding fixture.

[0011] Optionally, the rotating device includes a Z-axis lifting mechanism and a rotating mechanism. The Z-axis lifting mechanism is located at the corresponding loading or unloading position, and the rotating mechanism is mounted on the Z-axis lifting mechanism to rotate the pressure block on the corresponding fixture.

[0016] The rotary drive mechanism is connected to the rotary rod to drive the rotary rod to rotate.

[0017] Optionally, the Z-axis lifting mechanism includes a Z-axis platform plate, a Z-axis lifting block, a Z-axis lifting sliding assembly, and a lifting drive mechanism;

[0018] The Z-axis lifting block is mounted on the Z-axis platform plate via the Z-axis lifting sliding assembly;

[0019] The lifting drive mechanism is mounted on the Z-axis platform plate, and the lifting drive mechanism is connected to the Z-axis lifting block to drive the Z-axis lifting block to perform lifting motion;

[0020] The rotation mechanism is mounted on the Z-axis lifting block.

[0021] Optionally, the transfer device further includes a Z-axis adjustment mechanism, which is disposed on the X-axis moving platform and drives the first gripper mechanism to move along the Z-axis.

[0022] Optionally, the first gripper mechanism includes a gripper drive mechanism, a first gripper, a second gripper, and a support member. The first gripper and the second gripper are arranged opposite to each other. Both the first gripper and the second gripper are connected to the gripper drive mechanism. One end of the support member is a connecting end, and the other end is a supporting end for supporting materials. The connecting end is connected to the first gripper, and the supporting end extends to one side of the first gripper. The gripper drive mechanism drives the first gripper and the second gripper to perform opening and closing actions.

[0023] Optionally, there is a clearance area between the supporting end and the first gripper;

[0024] The gripping position of the second gripper mechanism is located in the avoidance area.

[0025] Optionally, the orientation of the first gripper mechanism is opposite to the orientation of the second gripper mechanism;

[0026] The second gripper mechanism faces the clamping device;

[0027] The third gripper mechanism is oriented toward the transfer device.

[0028] Optionally, the transfer device further includes a Y-axis adjustment mechanism for the second gripper mechanism at the Y-axis position, the Y-axis adjustment mechanism being disposed on the X-axis transfer platform, and the second gripper mechanism being disposed on the Y-axis adjustment mechanism.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0030] The first gripper mechanism holds the first end of the flexible flat cable, the second gripper mechanism holds the middle part of the flexible flat cable, and the third gripper mechanism holds the second end of the flexible flat cable. The gripping position is changed step by step through the transfer device, the intermediate device, and the clamping device, changing from the first end of the flexible flat cable being clamped by the first conveying system to the second end of the flexible flat cable being clamped by the second conveying system. This reduces the difficulty of changing the side of the flexible flat cable and improves the efficiency of changing the side of the flexible flat cable. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art.

[0049] like Figure 1-4 The illustrated cable reversing system is used to transfer flexible flat cables between a first conveying system and a second conveying system. Specifically, it grips the flexible flat cable from a fixture 5 on the first conveying system. The cable reversing system includes a transfer device 1, a relay device 2, and a clamping device 3.

[0050] The transfer device 1 transfers the flexible flat cable to the transfer device 2. The transfer device 1 includes an X-axis moving platform 11 and a first gripper mechanism 12. The X-axis moving platform 11 drives the first gripper mechanism 12 to move along the X-axis direction. The first gripper mechanism 12 is set on the X-axis moving platform 11 to grip the first end of the flexible flat cable from the unloading position of the first conveying system.

[0051] The transfer device 2 includes an X-axis transfer platform 21 and a second gripper mechanism 22. The X-axis transfer platform 21 is disposed between the transfer device 1 and the clamping device 3 to drive the second gripper mechanism 22 to move along the X-axis direction. The second gripper mechanism 22 is disposed on the X-axis transfer platform 21 and located on the moving trajectory of the flexible flat cable to clamp the middle part of the flexible flat cable.

[0052] like Figure 7 As shown, the clamping device 3 includes a Y-axis moving platform 31 and a third gripper mechanism 32. The Y-axis moving platform 31 drives the third gripper mechanism 32 to move along the Y-axis and pass through the moving trajectory of the flexible flat cable and the loading position of the second conveying system. The third gripper mechanism 32 is set on the Y-axis moving platform 31 to clamp the second end of the flexible flat cable conveyed by the second gripper mechanism 22.

[0053] In this embodiment, the X-axis moving platform 11 drives the first gripper mechanism 12 to move along the X-axis direction, specifically, the X-axis moving platform 11 drives the first gripper mechanism 12 to the unloading position of the first conveying system. The first conveying system uses a fixture 5 to clamp the first end of the flexible flat cable, and the first gripper mechanism 12 clamps the first end of the flexible flat cable with its first gripper 122 clamping the fixture 5. Then, the X-axis moving platform 11 drives the first gripper mechanism 12 to move towards the transfer device 2 until the first gripper mechanism 12 feeds the flexible flat cable into the gripper of the second gripper mechanism 22. The second gripper mechanism 22 clamps the middle part of the flexible flat cable, the first gripper mechanism 12 releases the flexible flat cable, and the X-axis transfer platform 21 drives the flexible flat cable to move along the X-axis towards the clamping device 3 until the second gripper mechanism 22 feeds the flexible flat cable into the gripper of the third gripper mechanism 32. The third gripper mechanism 32 grips the second end of the flexible flat cable, while the second gripper mechanism 22 releases the flexible flat cable. The Y-axis moving platform 31 then moves the flexible flat cable along the Y-axis until the third gripper mechanism 32 feeds the flexible flat cable onto the second conveying system. Therefore, in this embodiment, the gripping positions are changed step by step by the transfer device 1, the intermediate transfer device 2, and the clamping device 3, from clamping the first end of the flexible flat cable in the first conveying system to clamping the second end in the second conveying system. This reduces the difficulty of changing the edge of the flexible flat cable and improves its efficiency.

[0054] In one embodiment of the cabling switching system, such as Figures 2 to 4As shown, the cable-changing system also includes two rotating devices 4, which are respectively located at the loading and unloading positions, and are used to rotate the pressure blocks 52 on the corresponding fixtures 5. The first and second conveying systems use fixtures 5 to clamp the flexible flat cables. The fixtures 5 are equipped with pressure blocks 52 that can be rotated arbitrarily to press the flexible flat cables. Both loading and unloading of the flexible flat cables require the rotating devices 4 to rotate the pressure blocks 52.

[0055] During the feeding of the flexible flat cable, the X-axis moving platform 11 drives the first gripper mechanism 12 to move along the X-axis to the feeding position, where the first gripper mechanism 12 clamps the flexible flat cable. Then, at the corresponding position, the rotating device 4 rotates the pressure block 52, causing the fixture 5 to release the flexible flat cable. Afterwards, the X-axis moving platform 11 drives the first gripper mechanism 12 to move away along the X-axis. During the feeding of the flexible flat cable, the Y-axis moving platform 31 drives the third gripper mechanism 32 to move along the Y-axis, causing the flexible flat cable to move to the loading position, specifically to the fixture 5 at the corresponding position. At the corresponding position, the rotating device 4 rotates the pressure block 52, causing the pressure block 52 to press the flexible flat cable. The third gripper mechanism 32 releases the flexible flat cable, and then the Y-axis moving platform 31 drives the third gripper mechanism 32 to move away along the Y-axis.

[0056] Furthermore, such as Figure 8 As shown, the rotating device 4 includes a Z-axis lifting mechanism 41 and a rotating mechanism 42. The Z-axis lifting mechanism 41 is located at the corresponding loading or unloading position, and the rotating mechanism 42 is located on the Z-axis lifting mechanism 41 and above the corresponding pressure block 52, used to rotate the pressure block 52 on the fixture 5 at the corresponding position. The Z-axis lifting mechanism 41 drives the rotating mechanism 42 to perform lifting and lowering movements, and the rotating mechanism 42 cooperates with the pressure block 52 on the fixture 5 to drive the pressure block 52 to rotate.

[0057] Specifically, such as Figure 8 As shown, the rotating mechanism 42 includes an upper mounting block 421, a lower mounting block 422, a rotating rod 423, an open claw 424, and a rotating drive mechanism 425.

[0058] Upper mounting block 421 and lower mounting block 422 are mounted on Z-axis lifting mechanism 41. Specifically, upper mounting block 421 and lower mounting block 422 are mounted on Z-axis lifting block 412, and are arranged side by side. Rotating rod 423 is rotatably mounted on upper mounting block 421 and lower mounting block 422. Specifically, rotating rod 423 is rotatably connected to upper mounting block 421 and lower mounting block 422 via bearings. Opening claw 424 is located at the lower end of rotating rod 423, and the lower part of opening claw 424 has an opening adapted to fit the pressure block 52 of fixture 5. Rotary drive mechanism 425 is connected to rotating rod 423 to drive rotating rod 423. Rotary drive mechanism 425 can be a motor or a cylinder capable of outputting rotary motion.

[0059] In this embodiment, the upper mounting block 421 and the lower mounting block 422 are arranged side by side on the Z-axis lifting mechanism 41, and the rotating rod 423 is rotatably mounted on the upper mounting block 421 and the lower mounting block 422. The rotation drive mechanism 425 drives the opening claw 424 to rotate through the rotating rod 423, so that when the opening claw 424 is adapted to the pressure block 52, it can drive the pressure block 52 to rotate.

[0060] In addition, such as Figure 8 As shown, the Z-axis lifting mechanism 41 includes a Z-axis platform plate 411, a Z-axis lifting block 412, a Z-axis lifting sliding assembly 413, and a lifting drive mechanism 414.

[0061] The Z-axis lifting block 412 is mounted on the Z-axis platform plate 411 via the Z-axis lifting sliding assembly 413. A lifting drive mechanism 414 is mounted on the Z-axis platform plate 411 and is connected to the Z-axis lifting block 412 to drive it in lifting motion. Specifically, the lifting drive mechanism 414 can be a push rod, cylinder, or motor screw mechanism, etc. A rotation mechanism 42 is mounted on the Z-axis lifting block 412. The Z-axis lifting sliding assembly 413 specifically includes a guide rail and a slider. The sliding contact direction of the guide rail and slider is the Z-axis direction. The guide rail in the Z-axis lifting sliding assembly 413 is mounted on the Z-axis platform plate 411, and the slider is mounted on the corresponding guide rail. The Z-axis lifting block 412 is mounted on the slider in the Z-axis lifting sliding assembly 413. The Z-axis lifting block 412 is slidably mounted on the Z-axis platform plate 411 using the Z-axis lifting sliding assembly 413. The Z-axis lifting block 412 is driven to move up and down by the lifting drive mechanism 414, thereby driving the rotation mechanism 42 to move up and down.

[0062] In some embodiments of the transfer device 1, such as Figure 5As shown, the transfer device 1 also includes a Z-axis adjustment mechanism 13, which is mounted on the X-axis moving platform 11. The Z-axis adjustment mechanism 13 drives the first gripper mechanism 12 to move along the Z-axis. Specifically, the Z-axis adjustment mechanism 13 can be a push rod, a cylinder, a motor screw mechanism, or other mechanisms capable of outputting linear motion.

[0063] For the first gripper mechanism 12, when it faces the transfer device 2, after the first gripper mechanism 12 grasps the flexible flat cable and moves along the X-axis of the transfer device 2, the first gripper mechanism 12 needs to avoid the fixture 5. The Z-axis adjustment mechanism 13 can raise the position of the first gripper mechanism 12 to avoid the fixture 5 at the unloading position of the first conveyor system. When it faces away from the transfer device 2, after the first gripper mechanism 12 grasps the flexible flat cable and moves along the X-axis of the transfer device 2, and after the second gripper mechanism 22 clamps the flexible flat cable, the first gripper mechanism 12 needs to avoid the second gripper mechanism 22. The Z-axis adjustment mechanism 13 can raise the position of the first gripper mechanism 12 to avoid the second gripper mechanism 22.

[0064] In some embodiments of the first gripper mechanism 12, such as Figure 9 As shown, the first gripper mechanism 12 includes a gripper drive mechanism 121, a first gripper 122, a second gripper 123, and a support member 124. The first gripper 122 and the second gripper 123 are arranged opposite to each other. Both the first gripper 122 and the second gripper 123 are connected to the gripper drive mechanism 121. One end of the support member 124 is a connecting end, and the other end is a supporting end for supporting materials. The connecting end is connected to the first gripper 122, and the supporting end extends to one side of the first gripper 122. The gripper drive mechanism 121 drives the first gripper 122 and the second gripper 123 to perform opening and closing actions.

[0065] In this embodiment of the invention, the transfer device 1 includes an X-axis moving platform 11, a Z-axis adjusting mechanism 13, and a first gripper mechanism 12. The Z-axis adjusting mechanism 13 outputs movement along the Z-axis direction, such as lifting and avoiding movement, while the X-axis moving platform 11 outputs movement along the X-axis direction. Driven by the X-axis moving platform 11 and the Z-axis adjusting mechanism 13, the first gripper mechanism 12 moves along the X-axis and Z-axis directions. The first gripper mechanism 12 can use the first gripper 122 and the second gripper 123 to clamp or grasp the cut flexible flat cable, while using the support member 124 to support the flexible flat cable at another position. This increases the overall support effect of the flexible flat cable, prevents the flexible flat cable from bending and sagging excessively, and especially keeps the flexible flat cable relatively straight between the first gripper 122 and the support end, improving the convenience of the conveying system in receiving the flexible flat cable.

[0066] Furthermore, the supporting end and the first gripper 122 are spaced apart, and there is a clearance area between the supporting end and the first gripper 122. The supporting member 124 and the first gripper 122 are connected to form a U-shaped structure or a near-U-shaped structure. When the second gripper mechanism 22 clamps the flexible flat cable on the first gripper mechanism 12, the second gripper mechanism 22 is located in the clearance area, that is, the clamping position of the second gripper mechanism 22 is located in the clearance area. The fixing device for the flexible flat cable during cutting can be fixed by the jig 5 or clamped by the grippers. The supporting end and the first gripper 122 are spaced apart, and a clearance area is provided between the supporting end and the first gripper 122. When actually transferring the flexible flat cable, driven by the X-axis moving platform 11 and the Z-axis adjusting mechanism 13, the supporting end and the first gripper 122 move to both sides of the fixing device during cutting, forming a clearance from the fixing device during cutting. When transferred to the conveying system, driven by the X-axis moving platform 11 and the Z-axis adjusting mechanism 13, the supporting end and the first gripper 122 move to both sides of the processing fixture 5 on the conveying system, thus avoiding the processing fixture 5.

[0067] Regarding the orientation of each gripper mechanism, the orientation of the first gripper mechanism 12 is opposite to that of the second gripper mechanism 22. The second gripper mechanism 22 faces the clamping device 3. The third gripper mechanism 32 faces the transfer device 2, and the second gripper mechanism 22 and the third gripper mechanism 32 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0068] In some embodiments of the transfer device 2, such as Figure 6 As shown, the transfer device 2 also includes a Y-axis adjustment mechanism 23 for the second gripper mechanism 22 at the Y-axis position. The Y-axis adjustment mechanism 23 is disposed on the X-axis transfer platform 21, and the second gripper mechanism 22 is disposed on the Y-axis adjustment mechanism 23.

[0069] The Y-axis adjustment mechanism 23 can be a push rod, cylinder, linear motion platform, or motor screw mechanism, etc.

[0070] Of course, the cable switching system also includes multiple brackets. Each of the transfer device 1, transfer device 2, clamping device 3, and rotating device 4 can have its own bracket. Alternatively, any two or more can share a single bracket.

[0071] For both the first and second conveying systems, multiple fixtures 5 are included. Each fixture 5 includes a support plate 51 and a pressure block 52. The support plate 51 is used to support or place the flexible flat cable, and the pressure block 52 is disposed on the support plate 51 to press the flexible flat cable. More specifically, the pressure block 52 is rotatably connected to the support plate 51 via a rotating shaft. Specifically, the rotating shaft is fixed to the support plate 51, and the pressure block 52 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft. A spring is provided at the upper end of the rotating shaft, and the lower end of the spring abuts against the pressure block 52. The spring applies elastic force to the pressure block 52, improving the pressing effect of the pressure block 52 on the flexible flat cable.

[0072] Furthermore, to prevent the spring from protruding, the top of the pressure block 52 can also be provided with a receiving groove. The upper end of the rotating shaft passes through the pressure block 52 and extends into the receiving groove, with the spring sleeved on the upper end of the rotating shaft and located in the receiving groove.

[0073] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
