[0018] In some embodiments, the loading area and the unloading area are arranged along a first direction, and the detection area is located on the side of the loading area and the unloading area along a second direction toward the installation station. The second direction intersects with the first direction, and the positions of the loading area, the unloading area and the detection area can be reasonably controlled. While simplifying the moving path of the second conveying mechanism, the space occupied by the first feeding station is reduced, thereby making it easier to realize the setting of the wiring harness board installation equipment without affecting the original structure of the battery production system.

A first feature being "below", "below" or "below" a second feature may mean that the first feature is directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0054] In existing battery devices, structures such as a battery cell assembly and a wiring harness isolation assembly are often provided in the battery device.

[0055] The battery cell assembly is usually formed by arranging a plurality of battery cells. As an example, the battery cell assembly may be a battery module, which is formed by arranging and fixing a plurality of battery cells to form an independent module. As an example, the battery module may be formed by bundling a plurality of battery cells by a cable tie. The battery cell assembly may be accommodated in the box by fixing the battery module in the box.

[0056] The wiring harness isolation assembly is arranged on one side of the battery cell assembly, and includes a wiring harness plate, a bus bar and a wiring harness. The wiring harness plate is made of insulating material, and is provided with a number of avoidance holes. The wiring harness plate covers each battery cell and exposes the poles of the battery cell through the avoidance holes. The bus bar is arranged on the side of the wiring harness isolation plate away from the battery cell. The bus bar is electrically connected to the poles to realize the series or parallel connection of the battery cells in the battery. The wiring harness is connected to the bus bar to collect the battery status information, which includes but is not limited to voltage information, temperature information, power information, etc., so as to monitor the battery status according to the collected information.

[0057] At present, in the process of battery production, the wiring harness plate is usually installed on the battery module by manual operation. This operation method is not only inefficient, but also prone to uneven placement or inaccurate placement, which seriously affects the subsequent welding effect, resulting in poor welding, material waste, and increased costs.

[0058] Based on the above considerations, an embodiment of the present application provides a wiring harness board installation device, which uses an automated method to install the wiring harness board on the battery module. At the same time, a detection mechanism is set up to detect the incoming wiring harness board materials. While improving the installation efficiency, it also improves the reliability of the automated installation process and reduces the risk of material waste.

[0059] In order to better understand this application, the following Figures 1 to 8 The wiring harness board installation equipment, wiring harness board installation method and battery production system in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail.

[0060] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 The structure diagram of the wiring harness board installation device provided by some embodiments of the present application is shown. Figure 2 A top view of a wiring harness board mounting device provided by some embodiments of the present application is shown.

[0061] The present application provides a wiring harness board installation device 100, including a workbench 1, a first conveying mechanism 2, a first detection mechanism 3 and a control system. The workbench 1 includes a first feeding station 11 and an installation station 12 arranged downstream of the first feeding station 11. The first feeding station 11 includes a loading area S1 and an unloading area S2. The first feeding station 11 is configured to convey the wiring harness board 200 from the loading area S1. The installation station 12 is provided with a battery module 300 to be installed. The first conveying mechanism 2 is used to convey the wiring harness board 200 between the first feeding station 11 and the installation station 12. The first detection mechanism 3 is located at the first feeding station 11. The first detection mechanism 3 is configured to collect image information of the probe on the wiring harness board 200. The control system is configured to obtain the image information of the probe. If the image information of the probe is abnormal, the wiring harness board 200 is transported to the unloading area S2. If the image information of the probe is normal, the first conveying mechanism 2 is controlled to move the wiring harness board 200 to the installation station 12 and assemble it on the battery module 300.

[0062] The wiring harness board installation device 100 in the embodiment of the present application is capable of conveying the wiring harness board 200 through the first feeding station 11, and transporting the wiring harness board 200 of the first feeding station 11 to the installation station 12 through the first transporting mechanism 2, and assembling it on the battery module 300 of the installation station 12 to realize the automated installation of the wiring harness board 200. Furthermore, by setting the first detection mechanism 3 at the first feeding station 11, the image information of the probe on the wiring harness plate 200 can be collected by the first detection mechanism 3. Before the wiring harness plate 200 is assembled on the battery module 300, the wiring harness plate 200 is inspected for incoming materials. If the image information of the probe is abnormal, the wiring harness plate 200 is transported to the unloading area S2 of the first feeding station 11. When there is no abnormality in the image information of the probe, the wiring harness plate 200 is assembled on the battery module 300. This improves the installation efficiency of the wiring harness plate 200 while reducing the risk of damage and waste of the battery module 300 caused by the wiring harness plate 200 being assembled on the battery module 300 when it is abnormal, thereby improving the reliability of assembly.

[0063] It can be understood that the wire harness board installation device 100 can be integrated into the battery production system. The wire harness board installation device 100 can be added without affecting the original structure of the battery production system line, replacing manual labor to achieve automated installation of the wire harness board 200, saving labor costs.

[0064] The first feeding station 11 of the workbench 1 and the installation station 12 arranged at the first feeding station 11 can be built according to the line body. The first feeding station 11 and the installation station 12 are both fixed with mechanisms. The workbench 1 is provided with a base cabinet 14. The circuits and control systems and other electrical components of each mechanism on the first feeding station 11 and the installation station 12 can be fixed on the base cabinet 14 to facilitate layout and maintenance, while reducing the impact on equipment operation.

[0065] The first feeding station 11 is used for loading the wiring harness plate 200 . The first detection mechanism 3 is disposed at the first feeding station 11 . The first detection mechanism 3 can use a machine vision algorithm to take photos and detect the probes on the wiring harness plate 200 .

[0066] In some optional embodiments, the image information of the probes includes at least one of the number of probes and the angle of the probes, and the control system is configured to transport the harness plate 200 to the unloading area S2 if the number of probes and / or the angle of the probes are abnormal.

[0067] Optionally, the first detection mechanism 3 can be set as a camera, and by collecting image information of the probe, it can be compared with a reference image of the probe on the wiring harness board 200, specifically by comparing the difference in the number of probes and the angle of the probes in the image information and the reference image. If some hole positions in the image information of the probe collected by the first detection mechanism 3 lack probes and / or the angle of the probe is skewed, it means that the image information of the probe is abnormal, so that the wiring harness board 200 can be controlled to be transported to the unloading area S2, and the abnormal wiring harness board 200 can be effectively intercepted to reduce the risk of incoming material output.

[0068] It can be understood that the number of first detection mechanisms 3 can be set to one or more. When the number of first detection mechanisms 3 is more than one, the image information of the probe on the wiring harness board 200 can be collected from multiple angles. The probe on the wiring harness board 200 can be formed by stitching together the images collected by multiple first detection mechanisms 3, so that it can more accurately detect whether the probe has defects such as skewness or damage, thereby further improving the reliability of assembly.

[0069] In some optional embodiments, the wiring harness board installation device 100 further includes a second detection mechanism 4 , which is disposed at the installation station 12 and is configured to collect image information of the battery module 300 .

[0070] The control system is configured to obtain image information of the battery module 300. If the image information of the battery module 300 is abnormal, the wiring harness board installation equipment 100 is controlled to shut down. If the image information of the battery module 300 is normal, the first conveying mechanism 2 is controlled to move the wiring harness board 200 to the installation station 12 and assemble it on the battery module 300.

[0071] The image information of the battery module 300 may include the appearance image of the surface of the battery module 300. For example, the second detection mechanism 4 can be used to identify whether there is glue overflow in the battery module 300. If there is glue overflow on the surface of the battery module 300, the control system can be used to control the wiring harness board installation equipment 100 to shut down and alarm to remind the operator. The operator can scrape the overflow glue on the surface of the battery module 300 and then run the wiring harness board installation equipment 100, thereby reducing the situation where subsequent uneven or inaccurate placement affects the assembly effect, thereby improving the reliability of assembly.

[0072] The image information of the battery module 300 may also include the position information of the battery module 300. By setting up the second detection mechanism 4, in addition to being able to detect the overflow state of the battery module 300 on the surface, it is also possible to determine whether the installation station 12 is provided with a battery module 300 and the position of the battery module 300, so as to facilitate the alignment of the wiring harness plate 200 and the battery module 300, thereby reducing the risk of errors when installing the wiring harness plate 200.

[0073] Optionally, the second detection mechanism 4 may be configured as a camera.

[0074] Optionally, the second detection mechanism 4 can be set at the top of the installation station 12, that is, taking pictures from the top of the installation station 12. The photographing range of the second detection mechanism 4 can cover the installation station 12, so that the image information of the battery module 300 can be fully collected to improve the detection accuracy.

[0075] In some optional embodiments, the workbench 1 also includes a second feeding station 13, which is arranged upstream of the installation station 12 and is used to convey the connecting parts. The first conveying mechanism 2 is also configured to move the connecting parts from the second feeding station 13 to the installation station 12, and connect the wiring harness board 200 and the battery module 300 through the connecting parts.

[0076] By setting up a second feeding station 13 to transport the connector, after the wiring harness plate 200 is placed on the battery module 300, the connector can be moved from the second feeding station 13 to the installation station 12 through the first conveying mechanism 2, and the wiring harness plate 200 and the battery module 300 are connected to achieve the installation and fixation of the wiring harness plate 200 and the battery module 300.

[0077] Optionally, the connecting member may be configured as a pin.

[0078] It is understandable that the second detection mechanism 4 is also configured to collect the assembly position of the wiring harness plate 200 and the battery module 300, and can identify whether there is a deviation between the positive and negative electrode hole positions of the wiring harness plate 200 and the battery module 300 after the wiring harness plate 200 is placed on the battery module 300, thereby improving the reliability of subsequent connector assembly. In addition, after the wiring harness plate 200 and the battery module 300 are assembled through the connector, the second detection mechanism 4 can also be used to re-inspect the assembly to determine whether the connector is fixed in place, identify defective products in a timely manner, and ensure that the installation position accuracy of the wiring harness plate 200 and the battery module 300 meets the process requirements.

[0079] See also Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 3 A schematic structural diagram of the first transport mechanism 2 of some embodiments of the present application is shown.

[0085] It is understandable that the arrangement positions of the first transport assembly 22 and the second transport assembly 23 can be adjusted according to the structure of the first transport mechanism 2 so as to meet the transport requirements of the wiring harness plate 200 and the connector.

[0089] See also Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 4 The schematic diagram of the structure of the second feeding mechanism 5 provided in some embodiments of the present application is shown. In some optional embodiments, the wiring harness board installation device 100 further includes a second feeding mechanism 5, which is disposed at the second feeding station 13 and is configured to convey the connecting piece, and the second feeding mechanism 5 includes a vibration plate 51 and a servo material dividing assembly 52, the connecting piece is stored in the vibration plate 51, and the servo material dividing assembly 52 is docked with the output end of the vibration plate 51, and the connecting piece of the straight vibration discharge is arranged in an equidistant manner, so that the first handling mechanism 2 can clamp the connecting piece.

[0090] Among them, the vibration plate 51 and the servo material distribution component 52 are both existing technologies, and their specific structures and working principles are no longer elaborated in this application. By setting up the servo material distribution component 52 to detect and screen the connectors, the reliability of the quality of the incoming connectors is improved to meet the assembly requirements of the wiring harness plate 200 and the battery module 300.

[0091] Optionally, the second feeding mechanism 5 may further include a sensor 53, which includes at least one of a material shortage detection component and a material jam detection component. By setting the sensor 53, the feeding of the connector of the second feeding mechanism 5 can be detected, so that the connector is always in the process of material preparation, reducing the impact on the production rhythm and improving the reliability of the automation of the wiring harness board installation equipment 100.

[0092] In order to improve the operating efficiency of the wiring harness board installation device 100 , in some optional embodiments, the first feeding station 11 , the second feeding station 13 and the installation station 12 are distributed along the circumference of the first conveying mechanism 2 with the first conveying mechanism 2 as the center.

[0093] By distributing the first feeding station 11, the second feeding station 13 and the installation station 12 along the circumference of the first conveying mechanism 2, it is easier for the first conveying mechanism 2 to pick up materials from the first feeding station 11 and the second feeding station 13, and the multiple stations do not interfere with each other, thereby improving the reliability of picking up materials. In addition, it is also possible to reduce the space occupied by the wiring harness board installation device 100, effectively utilize the space while reducing the impact on the battery production system, and realize the layout of the wiring harness board installation device 100.

[0094] Optionally, the first transport mechanism 2 can be configured as a robot arm, which is rotatable around itself to be used for grabbing materials on the first feeding station 11 and the second feeding station 13 respectively, thereby simplifying the configuration of the first transport mechanism 2 .

[0095] See also Figures 1 to 4 In some optional embodiments, the wiring harness plate installation device 100 also includes a shaping mechanism 6, which is arranged at the first feeding station 11 and located upstream of the first detection mechanism 3, and the shaping mechanism 6 is configured to shape and position the wiring harness plate 200.

[0096] By setting the shaping mechanism 6 at the first feeding station 11, the wiring harness plate 200 can be shaped and positioned before being transported by the first transport mechanism 2, thereby reducing the influence of the position deviation of the wiring harness plate 200 on the transportation of the wiring harness plate 200 or the installation between the wiring harness plate 200 and the battery module 300, and improving the feeding efficiency of the wiring harness plate 200. At the same time, by setting the shaping mechanism 6 upstream of the first detection mechanism 3, the probe on the shaped wiring harness plate 200 can be located within the visual range of the first detection mechanism 3, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the first detection mechanism 3.

[0097] In some optional embodiments, the wiring harness plate installation device 100 also includes a first feeding mechanism 7, which extends from the loading area S1 to the unloading area S2 and is configured to convey the wiring harness plate 200, and the shaping mechanism 6 and the first detection mechanism 3 are arranged on one side of the first feeding mechanism 7.

[0098] By setting up the first conveying mechanism 7, the wiring harness plate 200 can be driven and transported to the loading area S1 by the first conveying mechanism 7, and after the image information of the probe becomes abnormal, the abnormal wiring harness plate 200 can be transported from the unloading area S2 to the wiring harness plate installation device 100 by the first conveying mechanism 7, so as to realize the reliable transportation of the wiring harness plate 200.

[0099] In some embodiments, the first feeding mechanism 7 can be used to transport the harness plates 200 one by one. In this case, the shaping mechanism 6 and the first detection mechanism 3 can be integrated on the first feeding mechanism 7 (not shown in the figure). For example, when the harness plate 200 carried on the first feeding mechanism 7 passes through the shaping mechanism 6 and the first detection mechanism 3, the harness plate 200 on the first feeding mechanism 7 can be shaped and photographed directly. At the same time, if the image information of the probe is abnormal, the harness plate 200 can be directly moved to the unloading area S2 through the first feeding mechanism 7 to simplify the structure of the harness plate installation device 100.

[0100] See also Figures 1 to 4 In other embodiments, the first conveying mechanism 7 can also be used to convey multiple wiring harness plates 200. The first conveying mechanism 7 includes a conveyor belt 71 and a silo 72 arranged on the conveyor belt 71. The silo 72 is used to carry the wiring harness plates 200. The conveyor belt 71 is configured to drive the silo 72 to be transported from the loading area S1 to the unloading area S2.

[0101] Among them, the silo 72 can be used to carry multiple wiring harness plates 200. When in use, the wiring harness plates 200 can be transported one by one from the silo 72 through the first transport mechanism 2. The silo 72 can be used to transport multiple wiring harness plates 200 without manual loading, and has better applicability.

[0102] Optionally, the number of silos 72 is more than two, and more than two silos 72 are arranged on the conveyor belt 71, thereby further increasing the number of wire harness boards 200 that can be conveyed, so that the wire harness board installation equipment 100 can meet the process cycle requirements, reduce labor costs and improve efficiency.

[0103] Optionally, the conveyor belt can be driven by a roller line, which has better compatibility. The silo 72 can be designed with a pad material, which is wear-resistant and relatively smooth.

[0104] Optionally, the first feeding mechanism 7 may be provided with a sensor for detecting the number of wiring harness plates 200 in the silo 72 on the feeding belt 71. If there are no wiring harness plates 200 in the silo 72, the feeding belt 71 may be controlled by the control system to run, and the next silo 72 may be transported to the unloading area S2, so as to realize non-stop loading of the wiring harness plates 200 and improve the operation efficiency of the wiring harness plate installation equipment 100.

[0105] See also Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 5 A schematic structural diagram of a shaping mechanism 6 provided in some embodiments of the present application is shown.

[0106] It can be understood that when the first feeding mechanism 7 adopts the form of a roller-type silo 72 to load the wiring harness plate 200, in order to facilitate the image information collection of the probe on the wiring harness plate 200 by the first detection mechanism 3, in some optional embodiments, the first feeding station 11 also includes a detection area S3 arranged on one side of the loading area S1 and the unloading area S2, the shaping mechanism 6 and the first detection mechanism 3 are arranged in the detection area S3, and the wiring harness plate installation equipment 100 includes a second conveying mechanism 8, and the second conveying mechanism 8 is configured to transport the wiring harness plate 200 from the loading area S1 to the detection area S3, and when the image of the probe is abnormal, the second conveying mechanism 8 is controlled to move the wiring harness plate 200 from the detection area S3 to the unloading area S2.

[0107] By setting the detection area S3 on one side of the loading area S1 and the unloading area S2, the wiring harness plates 200 in the silo 72 of the loading area S1 can be taken out one by one by the second conveying mechanism 8 and placed on the detection area S3, and after the wiring harness plates 200 are shaped by the shaping mechanism 6, the image information of the probe on the shaped wiring harness plate 200 is collected by the first detection mechanism 3. If the image information of the probe is abnormal, the control system controls the second conveying mechanism 8 to move the wiring harness plate 200 from the detection area S3 to the silo 72 in the unloading area S2. If the image information of the probe is normal, the control system controls the first conveying mechanism 2 to move the wiring harness plate 200 from the detection area S3 to the installation platform, thereby realizing the automatic installation of the wiring harness plate 200.

[0108] Optionally, the shaping mechanism 6 may include a shaping platform 61 and a plurality of limit members 62 movably connected to the shaping platform 61. The plurality of limit members 62 may be enclosed to form a positioning space adapted to the outer contour of the wiring harness plate 200. The position of at least some of the limit members 62 is adjustable, thereby achieving the shaping positioning of the wiring harness plate 200.

[0109] See also Figures 1 to 5 To facilitate the arrangement of the loading area S1, the unloading area S2 and the detection area S3, in some optional embodiments, the loading area S1 and the unloading area S2 are arranged along the first direction Y, and the detection area S3 is located on one side of the loading area S1 and the unloading area S2 along the second direction X toward the installation station 12, and the second direction X intersects with the first direction Y.

[0110] By arranging the loading area S1 and the unloading area S2 along the first direction Y, and locating the detection area S3 on one side of the loading area S1 and the unloading area S2 along the second direction X, the positions of the loading area S1, the unloading area S2 and the detection area S3 can be reasonably controlled, while simplifying the moving path of the second conveying mechanism 8 and reducing the space occupied by the first feeding station 11, thereby making it easier to realize the setting of the wiring harness board installation equipment 100 without affecting the original structure of the battery production system.

[0111] Optionally, the loading area S1 can be extended along the second direction X away from the detection area S3. Similarly, the unloading area S2 can also be extended along the second direction X away from the detection area S3, thereby increasing the length of the loading area S1 and / or the unloading area S2, so as to increase the number of silos 72 in the first feeding mechanism 7, so as to realize the transportation of more wiring harness plates 200 and save labor costs.

[0112] See also Figures 1 to 6 , Figure 6 The schematic diagram of the structure of the first detection mechanism 3 provided in some embodiments of the present application is shown. In some optional embodiments, the detection area S3 may include a first sub-area S31 and a second sub-area S32, the shaping mechanism 6 is arranged in the first sub-area S31, and the first detection mechanism 3 is arranged in the second sub-area S32, that is, the shaping mechanism 6 and the first detection mechanism 3 can be arranged separately to improve the accuracy of shaping and detection.

[0113] Among them, the first sub-area S31 is located on one side of one of the loading area S1 and the unloading area S2 along the second direction X, and the second sub-area S32 is located on the other side of the loading area S1 and the unloading area S2 along the second direction X, so as to facilitate the setting of the shaping mechanism 6 and the first detection mechanism 3.

[0114] Optionally, the first sub-area S31 is arranged on one side of the unloading area S2 along the second direction X, and the second sub-area S32 is arranged on one side of the loading area S1 along the second direction X. Therefore, taking the wiring harness plate 200 as an example without abnormality, the second conveying mechanism 8 can repeatedly repeat the cycle from the loading area S1 to the first sub-area S31, the first sub-area S31 to the second sub-area S32, and the second sub-area S32 to the loading area S1. The overall path has no interference and is more efficient.

[0115] See also Figures 1 to 7 , Figure 7The schematic diagram of the structure of the second transport mechanism 8 provided in some embodiments of the present application is shown. In some optional embodiments, the second transport mechanism 8 includes a first drive assembly 81, a second drive assembly 82 and a third transport assembly 83, the first drive assembly 81 is used to drive the third transport assembly 83 to move along the first direction Y, the second drive assembly 82 is used to drive the third transport assembly 83 to move along the second direction X, and the third transport assembly 83 is used to transport the wiring harness plate 200.

[0116] In order to be compatible with the layout of the above-mentioned first feeding station 11, the second conveying mechanism 8 can be set as a four-axis servo mechanism, which can respectively drive the third conveying component 83 to move along the first direction Y and the second direction X through the first drive component 81 and the second drive component 82, thereby realizing the conveyance of the wiring harness board 200 between the loading area S1, the first sub-area S31, the second sub-area S32 and the unloading area S2, so as to realize the non-stop loading of the wiring harness board 200 and improve the equipment operation efficiency.

[0117] Optionally, the third transport assembly 83 has the same structure as the first transport assembly 22, and the third transport assembly 83 may include a driving member 84 and a suction cup 221, wherein the driving member 84 is used to drive the suction cup 221 to move along a third direction Z, and the third direction Z intersects with the first direction Y and the second direction X, thereby achieving the absorption of the wiring harness plate 200. The first driving assembly 81 and the second driving assembly 82 may be configured as linear driving mechanisms such as cylinders, driving chains, and ball screws.

[0118] See also Figures 1 to 7 , taking the wiring harness board installation device 100 in some embodiments of the present application as an example, the specific structure of the wiring harness board installation device 100 is explained.

[0119] The wiring harness board installation device 100 in the embodiment of the present application is built as a whole based on the wire body, including a workbench 1 and a plurality of mechanisms arranged on the workbench 1. The workbench 1 includes a first feeding station 11, a second feeding station 13 and an installation station 12.

[0120] The first feeding station 11 includes a loading area S1, a unloading area S2 and a detection area S3, on which a first feeding mechanism 7, a second conveying mechanism 8, a shaping mechanism 6 and a first detection mechanism 3 are arranged. The first feeding mechanism 7 extends from the loading area S1 to the unloading area S2 and is used for loading the wiring harness plate 200. The second conveying mechanism 8 is used to move the wiring harness plate 200 from the loading area S1 to the detection area S3, and the shaping mechanism 6 and the first detection mechanism 3 located in the detection area S3 are used to sequentially move the wiring harness plate 200. Shaping and photo inspection are performed so that image information of the probe on the wiring harness plate 200 can be collected before the wiring harness plate 200 is assembled on the battery module 300. If an abnormality occurs to the wiring harness plate 200, the wiring harness plate 200 can be promptly transported to the unloading area S2 for waste recovery by the second transport mechanism 8, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the wiring harness plate 200 while reducing the risk of damage and waste of the battery module 300 caused by the wiring harness plate 200 being assembled on the battery module 300 when abnormal, thereby improving the reliability of assembly.

[0121] The installation station 12 is arranged downstream of the first feeding station 11. The installation station 12 is used for loading the battery module 300 to be installed and is provided with a second detection mechanism 4. The second detection mechanism 4 is used to collect image information of the battery module 300. If the battery module 300 has glue overflow, it can promptly remind the operator to handle the battery module 300, thereby improving the reliability of the assembly of the wiring harness plate 200 and the battery module 300.

[0122] The second feeding station 13 is located between the first feeding station 11 and the installation station 12 and is provided with a second feeding mechanism 5, which is used for loading the connectors. After the wiring harness plate 200 is placed on the battery module 300 by the first conveying mechanism 2, the connectors can be picked up by the second feeding station 13 through the first conveying mechanism 2 to achieve the positioning and installation of the wiring harness plate 200 and the battery panel.

[0123] The wiring harness board installation device 100 in the embodiment of the present application can utilize the first detection mechanism 3 and the second detection mechanism 4 thereon to detect the image information of the wiring harness board 200 and the battery module 300 before assembling them, and after both are found to be normal, the first feeding station 11, the second feeding station 13 and the multiple mechanisms on the installation station 12 cooperate with each other to realize the automatic installation of the wiring harness board 200 and the battery module 300. The entire equipment has high operating efficiency and strong stability, and can well meet the process rhythm requirements, so that the manpower efficiency and space utilization can achieve double benefits compared with traditional solutions, and has good application prospects.

[0124] See also Figures 1 to 8 , Figure 8The following is a flowchart of the wiring harness plate installation device 100 provided in some embodiments of the present application. The present application also provides a method for installing the wiring harness plate 200, which is used in the wiring harness plate installation device 100 of the above embodiment. The installation method includes:

[0127] If the image information of the probe is abnormal, the wiring harness plate 200 is transported to the unloading area S2 of the first feeding station 11. If the image information of the probe is normal, the first conveying mechanism 2 is controlled to move the wiring harness plate 200 to the installation station 12 and assemble it on the battery module 300.

[0128] The wiring harness plate 200 installation method in the embodiment of the present application can perform incoming material detection on the wiring harness plate 200 before assembling the wiring harness plate 200 on the battery module 300 through the first detection mechanism 3 integrated in the wiring harness plate installation equipment 100. If the image information of the probe is abnormal, the wiring harness plate 200 is transported to the unloading area S2 of the first feeding station 11. The wiring harness plate 200 is assembled on the battery module 300 only when there is no abnormality in the image information of the probe. This can improve the installation efficiency of the wiring harness plate 200 while reducing the risk of damage and waste of the battery module 300 caused by assembling the wiring harness plate 200 on the battery module 300 when it is abnormal, thereby improving the reliability of assembly.

[0129] To further improve the reliability of installation, in some optional embodiments, the wiring harness plate installation device 100 further includes a second detection mechanism 4 disposed at the installation station 12, and before the wiring harness plate 200 is moved to the installation station 12 by the first transport mechanism 2 and assembled on the battery module 300, it also includes:

If the image information of the battery module 300 is normal, the first transport mechanism 2 is controlled to move the wiring harness plate 200 to the installation station 12 and assemble it on the battery module 300.

[0132] It is understandable that, in the actual installation process, the battery module 300 can be automatically loaded through the tray module. When the tray module is in place, the second detection mechanism 4 can be triggered to collect the image information of the battery module 300. The image information of the battery module 300 includes the surface image of the battery module 300 and the position information of the battery module 300, so as to detect whether the battery module 300 has overflow and / or abnormal position. If there is no abnormality in the image information of the battery module 300, the first feeding station 11 can be controlled to load the wiring harness plate 200, so that the wiring harness plate 200 can be reliably assembled on the battery module 300 through the first conveying mechanism 2 in the subsequent process.

[0133] In some optional embodiments, the first transport mechanism 2 is provided with a code scanning assembly 21, and the wiring harness board installation device 100 further includes a second feeding station 13, and after the wiring harness board 200 is moved to the installation station 12 by the first transport mechanism 2 and assembled on the battery module 300, it also includes:

[0134] Acquire the information code image of the wiring harness plate 200 through the code scanning component 21;

[0135] According to the information code image, a preset number of connectors are moved from the second feeding station 13 to the installation station 12 by the first transport mechanism 2, and the wiring harness plate 200 is connected to the battery module 300 by the connectors.

[0136] After the wiring harness plate 200 is assembled on the battery module 300, the second feeding mechanism 5 can be provided to load the connector. Specifically, the information code image on the wiring harness plate 200 is read by the code scanning component 21 on the second feeding mechanism 5. The connector can be clamped based on the information code image to connect and position the wiring harness plate 200 and the battery module 300. This allows the automatic installation of wiring harness plates 200 of various specifications to improve applicability.

[0137] Optionally, after the wiring harness plate 200 is connected to the battery module 300 through a connector, the image information of the wiring harness plate 200 and the battery module 300 may be collected through a second detection mechanism 4, and the assembly of the wiring harness plate 200 and the battery module 300 may be re-inspected through the second detection mechanism 4. If there is no abnormality in the image information of the battery module 300, the tray module may be controlled to exit the station to complete the automated installation of the wiring harness plate 200.
