Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of battery packaging production, and in particular to an electronic cigarette round battery packaging device. Background Art

[0002] Currently, there are three main types of round batteries: steel shell cylindrical, steel shell button type and soft-pack round batteries. Among them, soft-pack round batteries have the advantages of higher energy density, higher voltage, smaller size and green environmental protection, and are therefore widely used in electronic communication technology and new energy vehicles and other industries.

[0003] The outer shell, a crucial component of soft-pack round batteries, primarily houses the battery cell and electrolyte. It wraps around the cell and seals its edges to reduce the impact of shock or vibration on the cell, extending its lifespan. During battery assembly, battery packaging, the final step in the process, involves multiple processing steps. However, these steps must be completed in separate locations, taking up significant space and increasing the time it takes to transfer materials between processing steps.

[0101] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0102] like Figures 1 to 20 As shown, an electronic cigarette round battery packaging device of the present invention includes a shell conveying turntable 1 for conveying the shell; a fixing fixture 2 rotatably set on the shell conveying turntable 1 and used to fix the shell; a folding device 3 for folding the shell; a trimming device 4 for trimming the folded shell; a battery cell conveying device 5 for conveying the battery cell; a tab flattening device 6 for flattening the tabs of the battery cell; a conveying robot 7 for picking up the battery cell from the battery cell conveying device 5 and placing the battery cell on the tab flattening device 6, and then picking up the battery cell from the tab flattening device 6 and placing the battery cell on the fixing fixture 2; and a side sealing device 8 for sealing the shell with the battery cell placed thereon, wherein the fixing fixture 2 is provided with a plurality of them and arranged in a circular array along the central axis of the shell conveying turntable 1, and the folding device 3, the trimming device 4, the battery cell conveying device 5, the tab flattening device 6, the conveying robot 7 and the side sealing device 8 are arranged in sequence along the direction of rotation of the shell.

[0103] During operation, multiple shells are placed on multiple fixed jigs 2 respectively through an external loading mechanism, and the fixed jigs 2 are used to fix the position of the shells. The multiple fixed jigs 2 are arranged in a circular array with the central axis of the shell conveying turntable 1, and the structure is highly compact. The shell conveying turntable 1 drives the multiple fixed jigs 2 to rotate, which helps to transfer and transport multiple shells to different workstations for efficient operation, and effectively reduces the time of reciprocating transportation of shells between different workstations. During the processing, the shells placed on the fixed jigs 2 are first automatically folded by the folding device 3, and then the shells are folded by the trimming device 4. The edges of the folded shell are automatically trimmed. While processing the shell, the present invention also automatically transports the cells through the cell conveying device 5, picks up the cells from the cell conveying device 5 using a conveying manipulator 7 and places the cells on the tab leveling device 6. After the tab leveling device 6 automatically level the two tabs of the cells, the conveying manipulator 7 picks up the cells from the tab leveling device 6 and places the cells on the shell after trimming. Finally, the shell with the cells is automatically edge-sealed by the edge-sealing device 8. The entire process is unmanned and has a high degree of intelligent manufacturing. The present invention has a compact structure and a reasonable design, realizes efficient and automated packaging throughout the entire process, improves production efficiency and product quality, and better meets the needs of diversified and efficient production.

[0104] The battery cell conveying device 5 of this embodiment includes a machine platform 51, a feeding conveyor belt 52 arranged beside the machine platform 51 and used to convey external battery cells, and an adjustment mechanism arranged on the machine platform 51, the adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment conveyor belt 53 and a temporary storage table 54, the temporary storage table 54 is arranged between the feeding conveyor belt 52 and the adjustment conveyor belt 53, the machine platform 51 is provided with a swing arm robot 55 for transferring battery cells between the feeding conveyor belt 52, the temporary storage table 54 and the adjustment conveyor belt 53, and an output module arranged beside the adjustment conveyor belt 53, the output module includes a battery cell conveyor table 56 and a handling robot 57 arranged between the adjustment conveyor belt 53 and the battery cell conveyor table 56, the swing arm robot 55 is used to pick up battery cells from the feeding conveyor belt 52 and place the battery cells on the temporary storage table 54, and pick up battery cells from the temporary storage table 54 and place the battery cells on the adjustment conveyor belt 53, and the handling robot 57 is used to pick up battery cells from the adjustment conveyor belt 53 and place the battery cells on the battery cell conveyor table 56.

[0105] Specifically, external battery cells are transported by the feeding conveyor belt 52 to achieve loading; and the swing arm robot 55 is a prior art, and its shape, structure and working principle will not be described in detail here; the swing arm robot 55 is equipped with two suction nozzles, which cooperate with the left and right swinging movement of the swing arm robot 55 itself to pick up battery cells from the feeding conveyor belt 52 and place the battery cells on the temporary storage table 54, and pick up battery cells from the temporary storage table 54 and place the battery cells on the adjustment conveyor belt 53, and use the temporary storage table 54 and the adjustment conveyor belt 53 to fine-tune the position of the battery cell tabs so that the two tabs of the battery cell are placed horizontally on the adjustment conveyor belt 53, so that the handling robot 57 can pick up the battery cell from the adjustment conveyor belt 53 and place the battery cell on the battery cell conveyor table 56, and then the conveying robot 7 can pick up the battery cell from the battery cell conveyor table 56 and place the battery cell on the tab leveling device 6 for efficient leveling, without the need to adjust the position of the tabs multiple times.

[0106] The feeding conveyor belt 52 of this embodiment is provided with a loading device 58, a visual detector 59 and a correction device 510, and the loading device 58, the visual detector 59 and the correction device 510 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the feeding conveyor belt 52, and the loading device 58 includes a first frame 581 provided on one side of the feeding conveyor belt 52, a material box 582 provided on the other side of the feeding conveyor belt 52, a loading seat 583 movably provided on the first frame 581, a translation cylinder 584 driven and connected to the loading seat 583, a loading cylinder 585 provided on the loading seat 583 and a loading suction head driven by the loading cylinder 585 586, the translation cylinder 584 drives the loading seat 583 to move horizontally relative to the first frame 581, so that the loading cylinder 585 drives the loading suction head 586 to pick up the battery cells from the material box 582 and place the battery cells on the feeding conveyor belt 52; the number of the correcting devices 510 is two and the two correcting devices 510 are arranged at intervals on both sides of the feeding conveyor belt 52, the correcting device 510 includes a correcting part 5101 and a correcting cylinder 5102 driven and connected to the correcting part 5101, the correcting part 5101 is a semi-cylindrical structure, and the side of the correcting part 5101 close to the pole ear of the battery cell is provided with a fitting surface 5103.

[0107] Specifically, the translation cylinder 584 drives the loading seat 583 to move horizontally to the upper position of the material box 582, and the loading suction head 586 is driven downward by the loading cylinder 585 to allow the loading suction head 586 to absorb the battery cells from the material box 582. Then, the loading cylinder 585 drives the loading suction head 586 to move upward, and the translation cylinder 584 drives the loading seat 583 to move horizontally to the upper position of the feeding conveyor belt 52. Then, the loading cylinder 585 drives the loading suction head 586 to move downward, and the battery cells are placed in the first trough 521, thereby completing the automatic loading of the battery cells.

[0108] The feeding conveyor belt 52 of this embodiment is provided with a first material loading trough 521, and the number of the first material loading troughs 521 is several and they are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the feeding conveyor belt 52, and the two sides of the first material loading trough 521 respectively protrude out of the two side edges of the feeding conveyor belt 52, and the adjustment conveyor belt 53 is provided with a second material loading trough 531, and the number of the second material loading troughs 531 is several and they are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the adjustment conveyor belt 53, and the two sides of the second material loading trough 531 respectively protrude into the two side edges of the adjustment conveyor belt 53, and the temporary storage table 54 is provided with a third material loading trough 541, and a sliding rail 542 is provided on the side of the temporary storage table 54. The sliding rail 542 is inclined relative to the machine platform 51 and is arranged between the temporary storage table 54 and the adjustment conveyor belt 53, so that the battery cells roll along the sliding rail 542 and fall into the second material loading trough 531 and then are transported via the adjustment conveyor belt 53. Specifically, multiple first feeding troughs 521 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the feeding conveyor belt 52. Multiple first feeding troughs 521 convey multiple battery cells as the feeding conveyor belt 52 is driven. The feeding conveyor belt 52 will briefly pause the conveying speed to cooperate with the swing arm manipulator 55 to pick up the battery cells. Multiple first feeding troughs 521 protrude from the two side edges of the feeding conveyor belt 52 so that the two tabs of the battery cells protrude from the first feeding troughs 521. However, since the position of the tabs placed in the first feeding troughs 521 has not been adjusted, it is necessary to use one of the suction nozzles of the swing arm manipulator 55 to pick up the battery cells from the feeding conveyor belt 52 and place the battery cells in the third feeding trough 541 of the temporary storage table 54. After a pause for temporary storage to facilitate subsequent transportation, another suction nozzle of the swing arm manipulator 55 is used to pick up the battery cells from the third loading trough 541 and place the battery cells on the sliding rail 542. Since the sliding rail 542 is inclined relative to the machine table 51 and is arranged between the temporary storage table 54 and the adjustment conveyor belt 53, multiple second loading troughs 531 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the adjustment conveyor belt 53 and are transported via the adjustment conveyor belt 53. The second loading troughs 531 protrude into the two side edges of the adjustment conveyor belt 53. Therefore, the battery cells roll along the sliding rails 542 under the action of their own gravity, so that the battery cells can roll from top to bottom along the sliding rails 542 and enter the second loading troughs 531 of the adjustment conveyor belt 53 without hindrance.

[0109] When the battery cell falls into the second loading trough 531, the two tabs of the battery cell are respectively fitted and pressed against the two side edges of the adjustment conveyor belt 53, so that the tabs of the battery cell are placed flat on the adjustment conveyor belt 53. Therefore, when the adjustment conveyor belt 53 drives the multiple second loading troughs 531 to move, the second loading troughs 531 are used to drive the battery cell to be transported forward.

[0110] The visual detector 59 is preferably a CCD camera of the prior art. The visual detector 59 is installed just above the feeding conveyor belt 52 to take high-definition photos of the battery cells placed in the first hopper 521. The position information of the captured image is uploaded to the central control system for analysis by the visual detector 59 to determine whether the position of the battery cells complies with the regulations. If not, the central control system sends a work instruction to the correction device 510, and controls the suspension of the feeding conveyor belt 52. The correction cylinder 5102 drives the correction part 5101 to push and approach the position of the battery cell, and uses the fitting surface 5103 of the correction part 5101 to fit the surface of the tab of the battery cell, effectively avoiding collision and damage to the tab when the correction part 5101 pushes and fine-tunes the position of the battery cell in the first hopper 521, thereby having a good protective effect.

[0111] The conveying robot 7 of this embodiment includes a multi-axis robot 71 and a feeding device 72 arranged at the output end of the multi-axis robot 71, the feeding device 72 includes a plate body 721, a first base 722 arranged on the plate body 721, two positioning members 723 spaced apart on both sides of the first base 722, a suction head 724 arranged between the two positioning members 723, and a vacuum generator 725 and a vacuum pressure gauge 726 arranged on the plate body 721, the vacuum generator 725 and the vacuum pressure gauge 726 are signal-connected, the vacuum generator 725 is connected to the suction head 724, the vacuum pressure gauge 726 is used to measure the negative pressure value generated by the vacuum generator 725, and the suction head 724 is used to suck the battery cell so that the two pole ears on both sides of the battery cell are respectively abutted and accommodated in the two positioning members 723. Specifically, the multi-axis manipulator 71 is a multi-axis robot of the prior art, so its specific structure and working principle are not described in detail here. When working, the multi-axis manipulator 71 drives the feeding device 72 to complete the transportation of the battery cells. The vacuum generator 725 is connected to the external vacuum pump or vacuum blower or air compressor. Since the vacuum generator 725 is connected to the suction head 724, the vacuum generator 725 enables the suction hole of the suction head 724 to generate a stable suction force, thereby enabling the suction head 724 to stably and firmly absorb the battery cells. The vacuum generator 725 is electrically connected to the vacuum pressure gauge 726. The vacuum pressure gauge 726 displays the vacuum pressure value in the vacuum generator 725 in real time, and adjusts it accordingly according to the actual work requirements for the vacuum degree. The adjustment is highly controllable, ensuring that the suction head 724 has a stable and reliable negative pressure attraction, avoiding the suction head 724 being unable to firmly absorb the battery cells due to the negative pressure value generated by the vacuum generator 725 being too small, thereby improving the battery cell transportation efficiency. While the suction head 724 sucks up the battery cell, the two positioning members 723 are used to respectively accommodate the two tabs of the battery cell, effectively avoiding accidental bending and damage to the tabs, achieving positioned suction and transportation of the battery cell, and effectively improving transportation efficiency and product quality.

[0112] The positioning member 723 of this embodiment includes a mounting base 7231 and a positioning piece 7232 disposed on the mounting base 7231.

External screws are inserted and screwed into the second connection holes 3423 to secure the assembly plate 3421 and the forming plates 3422, thereby spacing the multiple forming members 342 along the length of the first frame 341. Because the forming plates 3422 are tilted relative to the assembly plate 3421, and the forming slope 3424 is located at the end of the forming plate 3422 away from the assembly plate 3421, the angle between the upper and lower surfaces of the forming slope 3424 ranges from 15 to 20 degrees, with 17 degrees being preferred for optimal forming results. The first drive member 35 drives the multiple pre-folded plates 332 to move up and down via the second frame 331.
