[0002] At present, with the rapid development of new energy vehicles, battery liquid cooling plates are key components. During the production process, the battery liquid cooling plates that have been processed one by one need to be placed in a frame and collected. In this process, the requirements for production efficiency and placement accuracy are getting higher and higher.

[0003] Currently, after the battery liquid cooling plate is processed, workers will visually check the empty space in the material frame at the material outlet, and then manually place the battery liquid cooling plate into the material frame. In actual production, this method not only has low production efficiency, but also causes collision of the battery liquid cooling plate during the workers' transportation and placement of the material frame, thus affecting product quality. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to improve production efficiency and product quality, the present application provides a battery liquid cooling plate automatic placement system and a placement method thereof.

[0005] The present application provides a battery liquid cooling plate automatic placement system, which adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] By adopting the above technical scheme, when the quality of one side of the battery liquid cooling plate with the flow channel is checked to be qualified, the battery liquid cooling plate is transferred to the bottom of the transport adsorption rack by the robotic arm, and the battery liquid cooling plate is adsorbed by the transport adsorption rack; then the driving mechanism is started to drive the transport adsorption rack to move along the discharge direction in the material frame, and the position suitable for placing the battery liquid cooling plate is determined by the detection component, and then the battery liquid cooling plate is transported to the corresponding receiving groove of the material frame by the transport adsorption rack, so that the battery liquid cooling plate can be stably and accurately placed in the material frame. This process improves production efficiency and product quality.

[0008] Preferably, the material frame includes a frame body and several rows of limit rods, and an opening is provided on a side of the frame body close to the transport adsorption rack; the limit rods extend in the Y-axis direction, and several rows of the limit rods are arranged at intervals along the X-axis direction, and the limit rods in the same row are arranged at intervals along the Z-axis direction, and each row of the limit rods forms the accommodating groove between two adjacent limit rods in the Z-axis direction.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the battery liquid cooling plate can be placed into each receiving groove in the Y-axis direction, which is not only convenient for placement but also makes the battery liquid cooling plate more stable in the material frame; the battery liquid cooling plate can be placed by a number of limit rods, which is not only light in structure but also saves materials.

[0010] Preferably, the transport adsorption rack includes a main frame, a plurality of sliding frames extending along the Y-axis direction and an adsorption component installed on the downward side of the sliding frame, and the plurality of sliding frames are located between two adjacent rows of limit rods; the sliding frames are all installed on the main frame in a sliding manner in the Y-axis direction, and the main frame is installed with a first driving component for driving the sliding frames to slide.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, in order to facilitate the battery liquid cooling plate to be completely delivered to the receiving tank through the transport adsorption rack, after the sliding frame is driven close to the material frame by the driving mechanism, the first driving component is started to drive each sliding frame to slide synchronously in the Y-axis direction, that is, to slide in the direction of the material frame, so that the sliding frame with the battery liquid cooling plate adsorbed by the adsorption member slides into the position between the corresponding two rows of limit rods, until the battery liquid cooling plate is completely entered into the material frame, the adsorption member releases the restraint on the battery liquid cooling plate, and the sliding frame is reset, thereby completing the stable and precise placement of the battery liquid cooling plate.

[0012] Preferably, the first driving assembly includes a helical gear, a helical rack and a first driving member, the helical gear is rotatably mounted on the main frame, the helical rack is mounted on the sliding frame, the helical gear and the helical rack are meshed, and the first driving member is used to drive the helical gear to rotate.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the first driving member is started to drive the helical gear to rotate, so that the sliding frame equipped with the helical rack can be driven to move; this driving method has high stability and can still maintain the Y-axis direction when most of the sliding frame slides away from the main frame.

[0014] Preferably, the material frame also includes a pair of material blocking doors, and the two material blocking doors are respectively installed at the two end positions of the frame in the X-axis direction, and the two material blocking doors are respectively used to control the opening and closing of the two ends of each of the containing grooves in the X-axis direction. A status detection sensor for detecting the status of the material blocking door is installed on the transport adsorption frame, and the status detection sensor is electrically connected to the power source of the driving mechanism.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when the material frame equipped with the battery liquid cooling plate is transported, the material blocking door can limit the two end positions of the battery liquid cooling plate within the receiving groove; when the battery liquid cooling plate needs to be placed into the material frame, the material blocking door needs to be opened; and for the sake of safety, before the adsorption rack is transported to send the battery liquid cooling plate into the material frame, the state detection sensor is used to detect whether the material blocking door is open to prevent subsequent battery liquid cooling plates from colliding with the material blocking door.

[0016] Preferably, the detection component includes a material detection sensor for detecting the distance to the top battery liquid cooling plate in the material frame and a vacancy detection sensor for detecting an vacancy receiving slot adjacent to the top battery liquid cooling plate in the material frame, the material detection sensor and the vacancy detection sensor are both installed on the transport adsorption frame, and the material detection sensor is arranged to be inclined downward from the transport adsorption frame toward the material frame; the material detection sensor and the vacancy detection sensor are both electrically connected to the power source of the driving mechanism.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, before unloading, the transport adsorption rack is first moved downward in the Z-axis direction, and the distance to the top battery liquid cooling plate in the material frame is pre-detected by the material detection sensor arranged tilted downward. When the top battery liquid cooling plate is about to be reached, the transport adsorption rack is controlled to slow down; and then the empty space detection sensor is used to accurately detect the empty space receiving slot adjacent to the top battery liquid cooling plate in the material frame; thus, the transport adsorption rack is controlled to accurately adjust its own position, and then the battery liquid cooling plate is accurately delivered into the material frame.

[0018] Preferably, the limiting rod is provided with a plurality of mounting grooves spaced apart along the length direction on one side of the top of each of the accommodating grooves, and a pressure plate is installed in each of the mounting grooves, one end of the pressure plate is hinged to one end in the mounting groove, and the other end is a free end; an elastic member is installed at the end of the pressure plate away from the hinge, and the two ends of the elastic member are respectively connected to the pressure plate and the bottom of the mounting groove; the limiting rod is provided with a second driving component for limiting the pressure plate in the mounting groove.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, in order to reduce the possibility of the battery liquid cooling plate colliding with the limit rod during the process of being sent into the receiving tank, the height of the receiving tank is designed to be greater than the thickness of the battery liquid cooling plate; in this case, during the transportation or transfer of the material frame containing the battery liquid cooling plate, the battery liquid cooling plate will shake, which may cause damage to the battery liquid cooling plate; therefore, after the battery liquid cooling plate is swung into the receiving tank, the second drive assembly releases the restraint on the pressure plate, and the elastic member is used to make the pressure plate turn away from the installation slot and abut against the battery liquid cooling plate, thereby achieving a limiting effect, and the elastic member can also play a buffering role.

[0020] Preferably, the second driving assembly includes a driving rod, a sliding groove extending along the length direction of the limiting rod is provided in the limiting rod, and the sliding grooves are connected with each of the mounting slots; the driving rod is slidably installed on the limiting rod through the sliding groove, and the driving rod is provided with a toggle hole at a position corresponding to each of the pressure plates; the pressure plate is an arc-shaped plate, and the outer arc surface of the pressure plate faces outside the mounting slot; the hinge of the pressure plate is on the side of the driving rod close to the bottom of the mounting slot; the hole wall of the toggle hole abuts against the outer arc surface of the pressure plate; the second driving assembly also includes a second driving member for driving the driving rod to slide.

[0021] By adopting the above technical scheme, when the battery liquid cooling plate is placed in the accommodating groove, the second driving member is started to drive the driving rod to slide in the sliding groove, so that the hole wall of the toggle hole leaves the arc plate, so that the arc plate can be abutted against the battery liquid cooling plate through the elastic member, thereby achieving the positioning and buffering effect on the battery liquid cooling plate; when the battery liquid cooling plate needs to be placed in the accommodating groove in the material frame, the driving rod is driven to slide by the second driving member, and the hole wall of the toggle hole abuts against the outer arc surface of the pressure plate, so that the pressure plate is driven to rotate until the pressure plate enters the installation groove; in the above process, it is only necessary to drive the sliding rod to slide back and forth in the sliding groove to control all the pressure plates installed in the same limit rod to rotate and adjust the state, and the structure is simple and the overall synchronization is high.

[0022] Preferably, the hinge of the pressure plate is located at the end of the mounting groove away from the opening, the second driving member includes a pushing block and a toggle block, and a side wall of the limiting rod and an end away from the opening is provided with an avoidance hole, one end of the pushing block is connected to the driving rod, and the other end extends out of the limiting rod through the avoidance hole, and the pushing block is slidably installed in the avoidance hole; the toggle block is installed on the side of the sliding frame, and the pushing block and the toggle block are arranged opposite to each other.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, when the sliding frame transports the battery liquid cooling plate into the material frame, the pushing block is simultaneously driven by the toggle block to drive the driving rod to slide, so that the hole wall of the toggle hole leaves the arc plate; in this process, the driving rod can be driven to slide without adding an additional power source.

[0024] The present application also provides a method for automatically placing a battery liquid cooling plate, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0028] Step 3: Detecting the empty receiving tank closest to the battery liquid cooling plate by the empty detection sensor;

[0029] Step 4: Accurately adjust the position of the transport adsorption rack to drive the transport adsorption rack to place the battery liquid cooling plate into the receiving tank;

[0030] Step 5: driving the transport adsorption rack to return to the initial position and waiting for the next placement instruction.

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, before the battery liquid cooling plate is transported into the material frame, the transport adsorption rack is first driven to move from top to bottom, and the position of the top battery liquid cooling plate is pre-sensed by the material detection sensor, and the transport adsorption rack is slowed down; then the position of the empty space receiving slot closest to the battery liquid cooling plate is accurately determined by the empty space detection sensor; after the position of the transport adsorption rack is adjusted, the battery liquid cooling plate is sent into the material frame for storage; the above process can make the battery liquid cooling plate more stable and accurate when it is sent into the material frame.

This process improves production efficiency and product quality;

[0034] 2. The first driving assembly drives each sliding frame to slide synchronously toward the material frame, and the sliding frame can slide into the position between the corresponding two rows of limit rods until the battery liquid cooling plate is completely inserted into the material frame, so as to achieve stable and accurate placement of the battery liquid cooling plate;

[0035] 3. The material detection sensor tilted downward is used to detect the distance to the top battery liquid cooling plate in the material frame in advance. When the top battery liquid cooling plate is about to be reached, the transport adsorption rack is controlled to slow down. Then, the empty space detection sensor is used to accurately detect the empty space receiving slot adjacent to the top battery liquid cooling plate in the material frame. After the transport adsorption rack is controlled to accurately adjust its position, the battery liquid cooling plate is accurately delivered into the material frame.
