Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of module forming, in particular to a module pole surface positioning and extrusion device. Background Art

[0002] In the traditional module molding process, the module is composed of multiple battery cells with inconsistent heights, and the surface height error of the battery cells is 0-0.2mm. During the welding process of these battery cells that make up the module, if the battery cells are inconsistent in height, forming a defective and uneven welding surface, the welding quality risk is high. In reality, during welding, the battery cells can only be forced down by welding tooling to deform the welding aluminum plate to make up for the uneven welding surface defect, and the welding surface forms a similar welding surface. However, in the process of forced downward pressure, the battery cell is hard squeezed by external force, and the battery cell body is deformed, causing changes in the quality and performance of the battery cell. The formed welding surface is easy to rebound, resulting in welding quality defects. Moreover, the fixed length of the module cannot be guaranteed in the length direction, and the product cannot be produced in a standardized manner. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology and to solve the problems raised in the above background technology, the present invention provides a module pole surface positioning and extrusion device that automatically completes the module welding surface to be absolutely flat and standardized in length through precise coordination of various mechanisms.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: a module pole surface positioning and extrusion device, including a workbench, a speed chain body is provided on the workbench, a tooling pallet that slides unidirectionally along the speed chain body is provided on the speed chain body, a clamping mechanism is provided on the tooling pallet, the clamping mechanism includes a fixed edge clamping member and a moving edge clamping member, the module is loaded between the fixed edge clamping member and the moving edge clamping member, the speed chain body is also provided with a blocking component that blocks the tooling pallet to make it stationary, a probe docking component, a centering shaping mechanism and a tightening mechanism are provided in sequence on the speed chain body from the input end to the output end, the middle part of the centering shaping mechanism is set as a module positioning and clamping part, a downward pressing mechanism is provided above the module positioning and clamping part, and a lifting mechanism opposite to the downward pressing mechanism is provided below the module positioning and clamping part; the tooling pallet slides unidirectionally on the speed chain body, so that the workpiece can be efficiently transferred from the input end to the output end, while maintaining a stable and uniform working rhythm, accelerating the production cycle and increasing output. The clamping mechanism, consisting of fixed-edge and moving-edge clamps, secures the module to the tooling pallet, preventing positional shifts during processing. The blocking assembly secures the tooling pallet in its designated position pending further processing. The probe docking assembly detects and acquires information from the delivered module. Once the tooling pallet rests on the module's positioning and clamping section, the centering shaping mechanism reshapes the module in its front-to-back direction. The tightening and clamping mechanisms work together to standardize the module's length.

[0005] The tooling pallet slides along the double-speed chain line to the module positioning and clamping part. It is blocked and positioned by the blocking assembly. The tooling pallet stays directly above the jacking mechanism. The probe docking assembly cooperates with the centering shaping mechanism. The centering shaping mechanism clamps the module along the front and back sides of the module. The pressing mechanism and the lifting mechanism simultaneously squeeze and flatten the module along the upper and lower surfaces of the module. The tightening mechanism docks the dynamic edge clamping part, driving the dynamic edge clamping part to move toward the fixed edge clamping part, pressing the module in the length direction to form a fixed-length module. The pressing mechanism and the lifting mechanism cooperate to vertically shape the module welding surface to ensure that the welding surface forms an absolutely flat surface.

[0006] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the centering shaping mechanism includes a first shaping component and a second shaping component that are symmetrically and oppositely disposed. The first shaping component and the second shaping component both include a vertically disposed shaping plate. A centering slide is provided at the bottom of the shaping plate. Slide rails are symmetrically disposed on both sides of the centering slide. Sliders that cooperate with the slide rails are disposed below the slide rails. A centering motor is also provided on the centering slide. A floating joint plate is provided at the end of the centering motor shaft. A centering laser rangefinder is provided on one side of the floating joint plate. A through hole is provided on the shaping plate. The laser rangefinder emits a laser through the through hole and projects it onto the side of the module. The first shaping component and the second shaping component are symmetrically disposed oppositely, so that the front and back of the module are subjected to uniform force, effectively improving the accuracy and efficiency of shaping. The shaping plate is driven to move on the slide rails by the slider, so that the shaping plate moves smoothly and is subjected to uniform force when in contact with the module. The position of the module is monitored in real time by the laser rangefinder to achieve precise positioning and control.

[0007] As a further solution of the present invention, the pressing mechanism includes a horizontally arranged module contact pressure plate, a pressing main plate is provided on the upper portion of the module contact pressure plate, a pressing block electric cylinder and a pressing pressure sensor are provided between the pressing main plate and the module contact pressure plate from top to bottom, a top plate is provided above the pressing main plate, and shaping columns are provided at the four corners of the top plate, and the top plate is fixed to the workbench by the four shaping columns;

Guide shafts are provided in the guide holes. The bottom end of the guide shaft is connected to the top surface of the lower pressure main board.

[0009] The top plate is secured to the workbench by four shaped columns, providing stable and reliable support. During use, the top plate will not move due to vibration or external forces. To ensure the reliability and long-term stability of the downward pressure mechanism, the downward pressure mainboard precisely controls the downward pressure on the module through the collaboration of the pressure block electric cylinder and the downward pressure sensor. This secure positioning and clamping of the module during processing improves processing accuracy and consistent product quality. A lifting motor precisely adjusts the height of the downward pressure mainboard, while a guide shaft ensures stable lifting.

[0011] The lifting base plate drives the support plate on the lifting movable plate through the lifting cylinder. The lifting cylinder provides stable and controllable power to achieve vertical lifting of the workpiece or device and accurately adjust the lifting height.

[0012] The lifting cushion and balance spring provide buffering and balancing, effectively absorbing and dispersing the impact force during the lifting process, ensuring a smooth lifting action without severe vibration or shock. This effectively reduces unexpected vibrations and sudden changes, thereby improving operational safety.

[0013] As a further feature of the present invention, the blocking assembly includes spring-loaded locating pins at both ends of the lifting plate. The work tray's base plate is provided with locating holes that mate with the spring-loaded locating pins. When the work tray is moved to a point where the locating holes align with the spring-loaded locating pins, the spring-loaded locating pins pop out of the holes. This effectively pauses the work tray, preventing it from accidentally moving or deviating from its position, ensuring its stability and safety.

The tightening lifting motor drives the module pre-stressing assembly to move vertically up and down, allowing the module pre-stressing assembly to efficiently dock with the moving edge clamp.

[0017] As a further solution of the present invention, the module prestressing assembly includes a horizontally arranged prestressing motor, a reducer is provided at the telescopic shaft end of the prestressing motor, a fixed sleeve is provided on the output side of the reducer, and the reducer is connected to a locking head through the fixed sleeve.

[0018] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the dynamic side clamping member of the clamping mechanism includes a vertically arranged dynamic side clamping block, the fixed side clamping member includes a vertically arranged fixed side clamping block, the module is arranged between the dynamic side clamping block and the fixed side clamping block, a tightening nut is provided on the side of the dynamic side clamping block close to the module pre-stressing assembly, the tightening nut corresponds to the locking head, a dynamic side slide rail is provided below the dynamic side clamping block along the length direction, and the pre-stressing motor drives the dynamic side clamping block to move toward the module, and cooperates with the fixed side clamping member to compress the module along the length direction. The module is compressed by the dynamic side clamping member and the fixed side clamping member, thereby realizing the production of standardized module lengths.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: the device allows the tooling pallet to slide unidirectionally on the double-speed chain line, so that the workpiece can be efficiently transferred from the input end to the output end, while maintaining a stable and uniform working rhythm, speeding up the production cycle and increasing output.

[0036] The tooling pallet slides unidirectionally on the speed chain body, so that the workpiece can be efficiently transferred from the input end to the output end. A probe docking assembly 5, a centering shaping mechanism 4, and a tightening mechanism 2 are sequentially provided on the speed chain body from the input end to the output end. The probe docking assembly 5 includes a probe pressing block 502 arranged parallel to the length direction of the speed chain body. The lower part of the probe pressing block is provided with a number of parallel and evenly distributed pinholes, and the pinholes are provided with a row of probes 501 with the same extension length. A slide cylinder 503 is provided on the back of the probe pressing block, and a probe pad is provided between the slide cylinder and the probe pressing block. A cylinder limit plate 504 is provided at the tail of the slide cylinder. The slide cylinder is fixed to the workbench by the probe lower pad.

[0037] See also Figure 6 The probe pressing block moves and drives the probe to accurately align with the target position to be contacted. The probe docking assembly detects the delivered module to obtain information, and then the slide cylinder drives the probe to retract. When the slide cylinder retracts to the cylinder limit plate, the slide cylinder stops.

[0038] The middle part of the centered shaping mechanism 4 is set as the module positioning and clamping part, and the double-speed chain line body is also provided with a blocking component 7 for blocking the tooling pallet to make it stationary. The blocking component includes spring locating pins 701 arranged at both ends of the lifting movable plate, and a positioning hole cooperating with the spring locating pin is provided on the bottom plate of the tooling pallet.

[0040] See also Figure 7 After the tooling pallet stays in the module positioning and pressing part, a jacking mechanism 6 is provided below the module positioning and pressing part, which is opposite to the pressing mechanism 3; the jacking mechanism 6 includes a jacking base plate, a jacking movable plate 601 is provided above the jacking base plate, a middle hole 602 is provided in the middle of the jacking movable plate, a support plate 605 is provided in the middle hole, a jacking cylinder 603 is provided between the jacking base plate and the support plate, and a number of jacking buffer pads 604 arranged in parallel are provided on the support plate, and a balance spring 641 is provided between each jacking buffer pad and the support plate.

[0041] The lifting base plate is driven by a lifting cylinder to lift the support plate 605 on the movable plate. This cylinder then drives the tooling tray and module vertically upward, precisely adjusting the lifting height. During the lifting process, the lifting cushion and balancing spring 641 provide cushioning and balance, effectively absorbing and dissipating the impact during the lifting process. This ensures a smooth lifting motion without severe vibration or shock. The lower surface of the module fluctuates with the height of each cell.

[0042] When the module is lifted to the set height, the module is shaped in the front and back directions by the centering shaping mechanism 4. The probe docking assembly cooperates with the centering shaping mechanism, and the centering shaping mechanism clamps the module along the front and back sides of the module.

The top plate is fixed to the workbench by four shaping columns; the top plate is fixed to the workbench by four shaping columns, and the support is stable and reliable. The top plate will not move due to vibration or external force during use.

[0045] A vertically arranged lifting motor 305 is provided in the center of the top plate, and the shaft end of the lifting motor is connected to the center of the top surface of the downward pressure mainboard. Guide holes 303 are provided around the top plate, and guide shafts 304 are provided in the guide holes. The bottom end of the guide shaft is connected to the top surface of the downward pressure mainboard.

[0046] The down-pressing mainboard precisely controls the downward force on the module through the collaboration of the pressing block electric cylinder 306 and the down-pressing pressure sensor 307. The lifting motor 305 drives the down-pressing mainboard downward, and the guide hole moves downward along the guide shaft, so that the down-pressing mainboard contacts and presses against the welding surface on the top of the module.

[0047] The pressing mechanism 3 and lifting mechanism 6 simultaneously squeeze and flatten the module along its upper and lower surfaces, ensuring that the module's welding surfaces are absolutely flat. The pressing assembly is equipped with a pressing pressure sensor 307, which can detect the squeezing force in real time and record the data. The pressing main board is a solid Teflon plate. The bottom surface of the module contacts a support plate equipped with a balancing spring and lifting cushion. After squeezing, the bottom plate of each battery cell in the module is kept absolutely horizontal.

[0048] After the module is shaped vertically, it is shaped in the longitudinal direction.

[0049] See also Figure 8-9 The tightening mechanism 2 includes tightening columns 201 symmetrically arranged along both sides of the workbench. A mounting plate 203 is mounted on top of the tightening columns, and a tightening lift motor 204 is mounted on the mounting plate.

A moving edge slide rail 822 is provided below the moving edge pressure block along the length direction. The pre-pressing motor drives the moving edge pressure block 821 to move toward the module, and works together with the fixed edge clamping piece to press the module along the length direction.
