[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of battery production, and in particular to a battery production line. Background Art

[0002] A battery production line usually includes a logistics line, which is used to transport battery cells during the battery production process. However, in related technologies, the production rhythm of the battery production line is constrained by the minimum production rhythm of the target processing station, and the overall production rhythm is low. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the purpose of this application is to provide a battery production line.

[0004] The battery production line provided by the present application includes a transmission mechanism, a guiding mechanism, a battery pick-up and placement mechanism and an abnormality handling mechanism. The transmission mechanism includes a first transmission section and a second transmission section. The first transmission section and the second transmission section are both provided with logistics lines. The number of logistics lines in the first transmission section is less than the number of logistics lines in the second transmission section. The logistics line is used to transmit a tray cup, and the tray cup is used to accommodate a battery monomer. The guiding mechanism can be movably arranged between the first transmission section and the second transmission section to guide different logistics lines in the first transmission section and the second transmission section to communicate with each other. A battery processing device is arranged at a position corresponding to the second transmission section. A battery pick-up and placement mechanism is arranged at a position corresponding to the second transmission section, and is used to take out the battery monomers on all logistics lines corresponding to the grabbing position of the battery pick-up and placement mechanism on the second transmission section from the tray cup and put them into the battery processing device, or, put the battery monomers in the battery processing device into the corresponding logistics line of the second transmission section. The abnormality handling mechanism is arranged at a position corresponding to the second transmission section, and includes a plurality of abnormal flow lines. Each logistics line of the second transmission section is provided with at least one abnormal flow line, and the abnormal flow line is used to transport out the abnormal tray cup in its corresponding logistics line.

[0005] In the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, the transmission mechanism includes a first transmission section and a second transmission section, and the first transmission section and the second transmission section both include logistics lines, and the logistics lines move to transmit the cups, and the cups are used to accommodate the battery monomers, thereby realizing the transmission of the battery monomers by the first transmission section and the second transmission section. Among them, the number of logistics lines in the second transmission section is greater than the number of logistics lines in the first transmission section. And a battery pick-up and placement mechanism is provided in the first transmission section or the second transmission section, and the battery pick-up and placement mechanism is used to put the battery monomer into the corresponding cup, or take the battery monomer out of the cup, thereby realizing the loading or unloading of the battery monomer. On this basis, a guiding mechanism is movably provided between the first transmission section and the second transmission section, and the guiding mechanism can guide the different logistics lines in the first transmission section and the second transmission section to be connected, so that the cups in the first transmission section can be respectively distributed to different logistics lines in the second transmission section to realize the diversion of the cups; or, the cups of different logistics lines in the second transmission section are merged into the logistics line of the first transmission section to realize the confluence of the cups. It can be understood that each logistics line can be set up with a corresponding target processing station. Since the number of logistics lines in the second transmission section is greater than the number of logistics lines in the first transmission section, more target processing stations can be set up in the second transmission section. The target processing station with a slower production rhythm corresponds to the second transmission section, and the target processing station with a faster production rhythm corresponds to the first transmission section.

[0037] Here, the second code scanning component 560 is provided to facilitate acquisition of information of different cups on the water flow line, so as to facilitate subsequent processing of the cups containing the water battery cells.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present application, the battery production line also includes a frame, the frame is used to carry the first transmission section and the second transmission section; the guiding mechanism includes a guiding cylinder and a guiding plate, the guiding cylinder is rotatably connected to the frame, and the output end of the guiding cylinder is rotatably connected to the guiding plate; the guiding plate is rotatably connected to the frame, and the guiding plate is formed with a guiding groove, and the corresponding logistics lines in the first transmission section and the second transmission section are connected through the guiding groove; wherein, the rotation axis of the guiding plate and the frame is perpendicular to the bearing surface of the logistics line; or, the rotation axis of the guiding plate and the frame is parallel to the bearing surface and perpendicular to the transmission direction of the transmission mechanism.

[0039] Here, the guide plate is rotatably connected to the frame so that it can rotate relative to the frame, and the guide plate is provided with a guide groove having relative groove walls, which can limit the support cup to reduce the possibility of the support cup falling out during diversion or confluence. By setting a guide cylinder, the guide cylinder is rotatably connected to the frame and the guide plate respectively, so that during the extension and retraction process of the guide cylinder, the guide plate is driven to rotate to drive the guide plate to move, which saves manpower and enables the guide plate to have a higher positioning accuracy. The rotation axis of the guide plate and the frame is perpendicular to the bearing surface of the logistics line, which is suitable for the case where the bearing surfaces of multiple logistics lines in the second transmission section are set at the same height; the rotation axis of the guide plate and the frame is parallel to the transmission direction of the logistics line, which is suitable for the case where the bearing surfaces of multiple logistics lines in the second transmission section are set at different heights, so that it can be flexibly selected according to the layout requirements of the logistics line.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present application, the guiding mechanism includes a guiding push plate or a guiding clamp, and also includes a transverse cylinder, which is used to drive the guiding push plate or the guiding clamp to move along a preset direction, the guiding push plate is used to push the support cup, and the guiding clamp is used to grasp the support cup; wherein the preset direction is set at an angle to the transmission direction of the logistics line.

[0041] Here, by setting a guide push plate and a transverse cylinder, the transverse cylinder can drive the guide push plate to move to a preset position along a preset direction, thereby pushing the corresponding support cup to the corresponding logistics line entrance, and the occupied space in the transmission direction is small; the guide push plate only needs to be driven on one side, the structure is simple, and it is easy to implement. The guide clamp has a high limiting capacity, which can reduce the possibility of the support cup falling off, and can realize two-way movement of the support cup in the preset direction.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present application, the battery production line also includes a frame, which is used to carry the first transmission section and the second transmission section; the first code scanning component includes a code scanner, a rotating disk, a retaining ring and a turntable motor; the code scanner is used to scan the code cup, the rotating disk is rotatably connected to the frame, a notch is provided on the circumference of the rotating disk, and the movement path of the notch intersects with the corresponding logistics line and the code scanner; the retaining ring is provided on the circumference of the rotating disk, and the notch and the retaining ring are enclosed to form a limit groove, and the limit groove is used to accommodate a single support cup; the turntable motor is relatively fixed to the frame, and the output shaft of the turntable motor is transmission-connected to the rotating disk.

[0043] Here, the barcode scanner can scan the cup, and the turntable motor can drive the rotating disk to rotate relative to the frame. During the rotation process, the cup on the logistics line can enter the first barcode scanning component from one side of the first barcode scanning component through the gap. The gap drives the first barcode scanning component to rotate and pass through the barcode scanner, and then enters the logistics line from the other side of the first barcode scanning component through the gap. The retaining ring prevents the cup from escaping from the rotating disk. Since the limiting groove formed by the gap can only accommodate a single cup, it can also realize the spacing operation of the cup on the logistics line, and the separated cups are also more convenient for scanning.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present application, the logistics line includes a first side and a second side that are opposite to each other, and the distance between the central axis of the rotating disk and the first side is smaller than the distance between the central axis of the rotating disk and the second side. The first code scanning component also includes a guide block, which is arranged on the second side, and the guide block has a guide surface on the side facing the first side, the guide surface is an arc surface, and the guide surface is connected to the second side away from the rotating disk.

[0045] Here, the spacing between the rotating disk and the first side and the second side in the corresponding logistics line is different, that is, the rotating disk is offset relative to the logistics line, which is convenient for the layout of the rotating disk, and is also conducive to saving space, making the battery production line structure more compact. By setting a guide block, the guide block has a guide surface on the side facing the first side, the guide surface is an arc surface, and the guide surface is connected to the second side away from the rotating disk, so that the guide block can provide guidance for the support cup, which is convenient for the support cup to enter the gap, or exit from the gap to enter the logistics line.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present application, the first code scanning component also includes a base plate, which is connected to the frame, and the base plate includes a first side and a second side opposite to each other, and the first side is used to support the support cup; the turntable motor and the code scanner are both connected to the second side, and a code scanning hole is opened on the base plate corresponding to the position of the code scanner, and the code scanner scans the corresponding support cup through the code scanning hole.

[0047] Here, by setting up a base plate, support can be provided for the support cup, and a scanning hole is opened on the base plate, so that the scanner can be arranged on the second side of the base plate. The second side has a larger space, which is convenient for the arrangement of the scanner, and the bottom of the support cup is relatively flat, which is also more conducive to scanning.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present application, the first code scanning component also includes at least one in-place sensor, which includes a light emitter and a light receiver that are relatively arranged, and the light emitter and the light receiver are respectively arranged on the inner side and the outer side of the notch movement path.

[0049] Here, an in-place sensor is set up, which includes a light receiver and a light transmitter. Since the light transmitter and the light receiver are respectively set on the inner and outer sides of the notch movement path, that is, the light emitted by the light transmitter needs to pass through the movement path of the support cup, when there is a support cup, the light emitted by the light transmitter is blocked by the support cup and cannot reach the light receiver, so that it can be judged that there is a support cup at the corresponding position.

[0083] Below, this application is described in detail.

[0084] Batteries are increasingly used in life and industry. Batteries are not only used in energy storage power systems such as hydropower, thermal power, wind power and solar power stations, but are also widely used in electric vehicles such as electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric cars, as well as in aerospace and other fields.

[0085] A battery production line usually includes a logistics line, which is used to transport battery cells during the battery production process so that the battery cells can be processed and tested continuously through different workstations in sequence to improve production efficiency.

[0086] In some technical solutions, the battery production line includes multiple logistics lines arranged in succession. Different logistics lines correspond to target processing stations of different processes. The target processing stations can realize the assembly and testing of battery cells. It is understandable that different target processing stations process battery cells at different production rhythms. The logistics lines corresponding to the target processing stations with slower production rhythms need to be set with lower transmission rates so that the transmission rate matches the production rhythm. In order to ensure the normal operation of the entire battery production line, the transmission rate of the entire battery production line is usually set at the lowest transmission rate, so that the transmission rate of the entire production line is overall lowered, which seriously affects the production rhythm.

[0087] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned related technologies, this application proposes a battery production line. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Fig.21 and Fig. 22The battery production line includes a transmission mechanism 100, a guiding mechanism 200, a battery processing device 730, a battery pick-up and placement mechanism 300 and an abnormality processing mechanism 400. The transmission mechanism 100 includes a first transmission section 110 and a second transmission section 120. The first transmission section 110 and the second transmission section 120 are both provided with logistics lines 130. The number of logistics lines 130 in the first transmission section 110 is less than the number of logistics lines 130 in the second transmission section 120. The logistics lines 130 are used to transmit the support cup 140, and the support cup 140 is used to accommodate the battery monomer. The guiding mechanism 200 can be movably arranged between the first transmission section 110 and the second transmission section 120 to guide the different logistics lines 130 in the first transmission section 110 and the second transmission section 120 to be connected. The battery processing device 730 is correspondingly arranged in the second transmission section 1 20; a position setting corresponding to the position setting of the second transmission section 120, used to take out the battery monomers on all logistics lines 130 corresponding to the grasping position of the battery pick-up and place mechanism 300 on the second transmission section 120 from the support cup 140 and put them into the battery processing equipment 730, or, put the battery monomers in the battery processing equipment 730 into the corresponding logistics line 130 of the second transmission section 120; the abnormality handling mechanism 400 is corresponding to the position setting of the second transmission section 120, including a plurality of abnormal flow lines 410, each of the logistics lines 130 of the second transmission section 120 is provided with at least one abnormal flow line 410, and the abnormal flow line 410 is used to transport out the abnormal support cup 140 in the corresponding logistics line 130.

[0088] In the embodiment of the present application, the logistics line 130 is used to transmit the cup 140. The logistics line 130 can be a belt type, a chain plate type, etc. It can be understood that the transmission mechanism 100 can also include a frame 600 that carries the first transmission section 110 and the second transmission section 120. The logistics line 130 is set on the frame 600. The belt or chain plate can move relative to the frame 600, thereby driving the cup 140 carried thereon to move. Limiting plates can also be set on both sides of the frame 600 corresponding to the logistics line 130 to reduce the possibility of the cup 140 escaping from the logistics line 130.

[0089] It should be noted that in order to arrange the cups 140 on the logistics line 130 in sequence during the transmission process, the width of the logistics line 130 is larger than the size of a single cup 140, but smaller than the sum of the sizes of two cups 140, that is, only a single cup 140 is allowed to pass through the same position on the logistics line 130, and multiple cups 140 need to be arranged in sequence on the logistics line 130.

[0090] In the embodiment of the present application, the cup 140 can move on the logistics line 130. The cup 140 is used to carry the battery cell. The inner contour of the cup 140 can be set according to the outer contour of the battery cell, for example, it can be set to a cylindrical shape to accommodate a cylindrical battery, or set to a square shape to accommodate a square battery. The outer contour of the cup 140 can be set to a circular shape, a square shape, an elliptical shape, etc. For example, the outer contour of the cup 140 is set to a circular shape, which has a strong ability to withstand collisions and is not easy to get stuck.

[0091] In the embodiment of the present application, the number of logistics lines 130 in the first transmission section 110 is less than the number of logistics lines 130 in the second transmission section 120. The first transmission section 110 may include a single logistics line 130, and the second transmission section 120 may include two or more logistics lines 130. The logistics lines 130 of the first transmission section 110 and the logistics lines 130 of the second transmission section 120 are connected through the guide mechanism 200. The transmission direction X of the transmission mechanism 100 can be set from the first transmission section 110 to the second transmission section 120, that is, to achieve the confluence of multiple logistics lines 130; it can also be set from the second transmission section 120 to the first transmission section 110, that is, to achieve the diversion of multiple logistics lines 130.

[0092] In the embodiment of the present application, the guiding mechanism 200 is arranged at the connecting position of the first transmission section 110 and the second transmission section 120, and the logistics lines 130 of the first transmission section 110 and the second transmission section 120 can be arranged at intervals, or the logistics lines 130 of the first transmission section 110 and the logistics lines 130 of the second transmission section 120 are staggered at the connecting position, that is, in the vertical transmission direction X, the logistics lines 130 of the first transmission section 110 and the logistics lines 130 of the second transmission section 120 partially overlap.

[0093] In the embodiment of the present application, the guide mechanism 200 can move to a preset position relative to each logistics line 130 in the second transmission section 120, so as to connect the corresponding logistics lines 130 in the first transmission section 110 and the second transmission section 120, that is, the preset position is set in a one-to-one correspondence with the logistics line 130 in the second transmission section 120, and at different preset positions, the guide mechanism 200 connects the corresponding logistics line 130 in the second transmission section 120 with the logistics line 130 in the first transmission section 110. It can be understood that at the same time, the guide mechanism 200 only connects one logistics line 130 in the second transmission section 120 with one logistics line 130 in the first transmission section 110.

[0094] For example, the second transmission section 120 includes two logistics lines 130, corresponding to a first preset position and a second preset position, referring to Figure 3 , the guiding mechanism 200 switches to the first preset position, connecting a logistics line 130 in the second transmission section 120 with the logistics line 130 in the first transmission section 110; Figure 4, the guiding mechanism 200 switches to the second preset position, connecting another logistics line 130 in the second transmission section 120 with the logistics line 130 in the first transmission section 110 .

[0095] In the embodiment of the present application, the battery picking and placing mechanism 300 can be set in the first transmission section 110, and the corresponding logistics line 130 is smaller and has a simpler structure; alternatively, the battery picking and placing mechanism 300 is set in the second transmission section 120, which can correspond to more logistics lines 130, thereby improving the loading and unloading efficiency of battery cells.

[0096] In the embodiment of the present application, a single battery pick-up and placement mechanism 300 may include both a loading function, i.e., taking out a battery monomer from the support cup 140 and sending it to the target processing station 700, and an unloading function, i.e., placing the battery monomer of the target processing station 700 into the corresponding support cup 140. Alternatively, a plurality of battery pick-up and placement mechanisms 300 are arranged along the transmission mechanism 100, some of which are used for loading battery monomers, and other battery pick-up and placement mechanisms 300 are used for unloading batteries.

[0097] In the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, the transmission mechanism 100 includes a first transmission section 110 and a second transmission section 120. The first transmission section 110 and the second transmission section 120 both include a logistics line 130. The logistics line 130 moves to transmit the cup 140. The cup 140 is used to accommodate the battery monomer, thereby realizing the transmission of the battery monomer by the first transmission section 110 and the second transmission section 120. Among them, the number of logistics lines 130 in the second transmission section 120 is greater than the number of logistics lines 130 in the first transmission section 110. And a battery pick-up and placement mechanism 300 is provided in the first transmission section 110 or the second transmission section 120. The battery pick-up and placement mechanism 300 is used to put the battery monomer into the corresponding cup 140, or take the battery monomer out of the cup 140, thereby realizing the loading or unloading of the battery monomer.

[0098] On this basis, a guiding mechanism 200 is movably arranged between the first transmission section 110 and the second transmission section 120. The guiding mechanism 200 can guide different logistics lines 130 in the first transmission section 110 and the second transmission section 120 to be connected, so that the cups 140 in the first transmission section 110 can be respectively distributed to different logistics lines 130 in the second transmission section 120 to achieve the diversion of the cups 140; or, the cups 140 of different logistics lines 130 in the second transmission section 120 can be merged into the logistics line 130 of the first transmission section 110 to achieve the confluence of the cups 140.

[0099] It can be understood that each logistics line 130 can be set up with a corresponding target processing station 700. Since the number of logistics lines 130 in the second transmission section 120 is greater than the number of logistics lines 130 in the first transmission section 110, more target processing stations 700 can be set up corresponding to the second transmission section 120. The target processing station 700 with a slower production rhythm corresponds to the second transmission section 120, and the target processing station 700 with a faster production rhythm corresponds to the first transmission section 110. The production rhythms of at least two target processing stations 700 in the second transmission section 120 can be superimposed, so as to correspond to the production rhythm of the target processing station 700 in the first transmission section 110. That is, the efficiency of the battery production line is no longer limited by the transmission section with lower transmission efficiency, and the production rhythm of the entire battery production line can be adapted to the transmission section with higher transmission efficiency, thereby improving the production rhythm of the entire battery production line.

[0100] Reference Figure 2 The first transmission section 110 includes a logistics line 130, corresponding to which is a first device 710; the second transmission section 120 includes two logistics lines 130, corresponding to which are two second devices 720. Even if the production rhythm of the second device 720 is lower than that of the first device 710, since a larger number of second devices 720 and a corresponding number of logistics lines 130 are provided, they can still be adapted to the production rhythm of the first device 710 of the first transmission section 110.

[0101] Compared with the scheme in the related art in which the battery production line is restricted by the transmission segment with lower transmission efficiency, the battery production line provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a first transmission segment 110 and a second transmission segment 120 with different numbers of logistics lines 130, and a guiding mechanism 200, which can realize the diversion and confluence of the support cup 140, so that the production rhythm of the first transmission segment 110 and the second transmission segment 120 can be matched, so that the production rhythm of the entire battery production line can be adapted to the transmission segment with higher transmission efficiency, thereby improving the production rhythm of the entire battery production line.

[0102] In order to facilitate the diversion of abnormal cup 140, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some possible embodiments of the present application, the abnormality handling mechanism 400 as a target handling mechanism includes an abnormality flow line 410, and at least one logistics line 130 is connected to the abnormality flow line 410, and the abnormality flow line 410 is used to transport the abnormal cups 140 in the corresponding logistics line 130.

[0103] In the embodiment of the present application, the abnormal handling mechanism 400 is used to separate the abnormal cup 140 from the normal cup 140, so that the normal cup 140 can be used for subsequent production processes, and the abnormal cup 140 can be reprocessed. Among them, the abnormal cup 140 is transported out by the abnormal flow line 410, and the abnormal flow line 410 can adopt the same or different structural form as the logistics line 130, and is connected with the corresponding logistics line 130, and the abnormal cup 140 enters the corresponding abnormal flow line 410 through the abnormal handling mechanism 400.

[0104] In the embodiment of the present application, an abnormal cup 140 can be identified by a scanner 421, a camera, a sensor, etc. The abnormal cup 140 may be a cup 140 that has failed to be scanned multiple times, or the corresponding characteristic information of the cup 140 is missing after the scan is performed, or the characteristic information indicates that the performance parameters of the battery cells in the cup 140 do not meet the requirements, such as unqualified battery cells that need to be recycled, or unqualified battery cells that need to be reprocessed.

[0105] In the embodiment of the present application, the abnormal flow line 410 is used for the rotation of the battery cell or the cup 140. It can be understood that the abnormal flow line 410 is used to rotate the abnormal cup 140 on the logistics line 130. Therefore, the abnormal flow line 410 is equivalent to the diversion of the first transmission section 110 and the second transmission section 120. A structure similar to the guiding mechanism 200 can be adopted to realize the diversion of the abnormal cup 140 and the normal cup 140.

[0106] In the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, by setting up an abnormal flow line, abnormal cups 140 can be transported out, so as to reprocess the cups 140 or battery cells that do not meet the requirements of subsequent workstations.

[0107] In order to adapt to different usage requirements, refer to Figure 6 In some possible embodiments of the present application, the battery pick-up and placement mechanism 300 and the exception handling mechanism 400 are arranged in the second transmission section 120, and along the transmission direction X of the transmission mechanism 100, the exception handling mechanism 400 is located upstream of the battery pick-up and placement mechanism 300.

[0108] In the embodiment of the present application, the battery pick-up and placement mechanism 300 is arranged in the second transmission section 120, and each logistics line 130 in the second transmission section 120 may be provided with a corresponding battery pick-up and placement mechanism 300, or at least two logistics lines 130 may correspond to the same battery pick-up and placement mechanism 300. Correspondingly, the exception handling mechanism 400 is arranged in the second transmission section 120, and each logistics line 130 in the second transmission section 120 may be provided with a corresponding exception handling mechanism 400, or at least two logistics lines 130 may correspond to the same exception handling mechanism 400.

[0109] Reference Figure 6In one example, the second transmission section 120 includes two logistics lines 130, and the two logistics lines 130 correspond to the same battery pick-up and placement mechanism 300. The battery pick-up and placement mechanism 300 can realize the loading or unloading of multiple rows of battery cells; and each logistics line 130 is respectively provided with an abnormality handling mechanism 400, so as to improve the processing efficiency of abnormal support cups 140.

[0110] In the embodiment of the present application, along the transmission direction X of the transmission mechanism 100, the abnormality handling mechanism 400 is located upstream of the battery pick-up and placement mechanism 300. In the case of diversion, the guide mechanism 200 first diverts the cups 140 to different logistics lines 130 in the second transmission section 120, and then the abnormal cups 140 on each logistics line 130 are transported out by the abnormality handling mechanism 400, and then the battery pick-up and placement mechanism 300 loads or unloads the battery monomers; in the case of confluence, the abnormality handling mechanism 400 first transports the abnormal cups 140 on the second transmission section 120, and then the battery pick-up and placement mechanism 300 loads or unloads the battery monomers, and then the guide mechanism 200 merges the normal cups 140.

[0111] It is understandable that in some other possible embodiments of the present application, the battery pick-up and placement mechanism 300 may also be located upstream of the abnormality handling mechanism 400. In addition, the abnormality handling mechanism 400 may also be arranged in the first transmission section.

[0112] In the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, the abnormality handling mechanism 400 and the battery pick-up and placement mechanism 300 are both arranged in the second transmission section 120, which can effectively improve the efficiency of code scanning and the efficiency of picking and placing battery cells, thereby improving the production cycle. Along the transmission direction X of the transmission mechanism 100, the abnormality handling mechanism 400 is located upstream of the battery pick-up and placement mechanism 300, that is, the abnormal support cup 140 is processed first, and then the battery cell is loaded or unloaded, which can reduce the impact of the abnormality of the support cup 140 on the subsequent process.

[0113] In order to facilitate the centralized processing of abnormal cups 140 on the abnormal flow line 410, refer to Figure 7 In some possible embodiments of the present application, the battery production line also includes a centralized workstation 150, which is used to collect abnormal cups 140. Each logistics line 130 in the second transmission section 120 is connected to an abnormal flow line 410, and the unloading ends of at least two abnormal flow lines 410 are arranged at the same centralized workstation 150.

[0114] In the embodiment of the present application, the centralized station 150 refers to a station for recovering cup holders on the abnormal flow line 410. The centralized station 150 may be provided with a conveyor belt or a logistics vehicle, etc., to transmit the corresponding abnormal cup holders or battery cells to a recovery station or a reprocessing station, and to recover or reprocess the abnormal cup holders 140 or battery cells.

[0115] In the embodiment of the present application, different abnormal flow lines 410 may correspond to different or the same centralized stations 150. For example, the second transmission section 120 includes two logistics lines 130, each logistics line 130 is provided with an abnormal flow line 410, and the centralized station 150 is provided on one side of the second transmission section 120, and the abnormal flow line 410 located on the same side as the centralized station 150 has its unloading end directly provided at the centralized station 150, and the abnormal flow line 410 located on the opposite side of the centralized station 150 passes through below or above the logistics line 130 through the provision of the descending section and the lifting section, so that its unloading end is provided at the centralized station 150.

[0116] In the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, the unloading sections of at least two abnormal flow lines 410 are arranged at the same centralized workstation 150, so that the abnormal cups 140 in different abnormal flow lines 410 can be concentrated in the same centralized workstation 150 for centralized processing.

[0117] To facilitate the insertion or removal of water cells, refer to Figure 8 and Fig. 9 In some possible embodiments of the present application, the battery production line also includes a moisture transfer mechanism 500, the moisture transfer mechanism 500 includes a moisture transfer line 510, at least one logistics line 130 is connected to the moisture transfer line 510, and the moisture transfer line 510 is used to insert or remove the tray 140 containing the moisture battery cell into or out of the corresponding logistics line 130.

[0118] In the embodiment of the present application, the water battery cell is used for process detection during the battery production process, and the water battery cell does not constitute the final product. Therefore, the water battery cell can be inserted or removed from the battery production line to determine whether the process parameters of the target processing station 700 are appropriate.

[0119] In the embodiment of the present application, the water flow line 510 can be arranged in the first transmission section 110 or in the second transmission section 120. The water flow line 510 can adopt the same or different structure as the logistics line 130 and be connected with the corresponding logistics line 130.

[0120] In the embodiment of the present application, the transmission direction X of the water flow line 510 can be toward the corresponding logistics line 130, that is, the cup 140 for accommodating the water battery monomer is inserted into the corresponding logistics line 130, which is equivalent to the situation where the first transmission section 110 and the second transmission section 120 merge; correspondingly, the transmission direction X of the water flow line 510 can be away from the corresponding logistics line 130, that is, the cup 140 for accommodating the water battery monomer is transported out of the corresponding logistics line 130, which is equivalent to the situation where the first transmission section 110 and the second transmission section 120 diverge; therefore, a structure similar to the guiding mechanism 200 can be adopted to realize the insertion or removal of the water battery cup 140.

[0121] In the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, the battery production line also includes a moisture transfer mechanism 500, the moisture transfer mechanism 500 includes a moisture transfer line 510, at least one logistics line 130 is connected to the moisture transfer line 510, and the moisture transfer line 510 is used to insert or remove the tray 140 containing the moisture battery cell into or out of the corresponding logistics line 130.

[0122] In order to facilitate the insertion or removal of the cup 140 containing the water battery cell, refer to Figure 8 and Fig. 9 In some embodiments of the present application, the moisture transfer mechanism 500 is disposed in the second transmission section 120 , and along the transmission direction X of the transmission mechanism 100 , the moisture transfer mechanism 500 is disposed downstream of the abnormality handling mechanism 400 .

[0123] In the embodiment of the present application, the water transfer mechanism 500 is disposed in the second transmission section 120. Each logistics line 130 in the second transmission section 120 may be provided with a corresponding water transfer mechanism 500, or some logistics lines 130 in the second transmission section 120 may be provided with a water transfer mechanism 500. Figure 8 and Fig. 9 In one example, the second transmission section 120 includes two logistics lines 130 , one of which is provided with a water transfer mechanism 500 , and the other logistics line 130 is not provided with a water transfer mechanism 500 .

[0124] In the embodiment of the present application, a single water transfer mechanism 500 may include both an insertion function, that is, inserting the cup 140 containing the water battery monomer into the corresponding logistics line 130, and a removal function, that is, removing the cup 140 containing the water battery monomer from the corresponding logistics line 130. Alternatively, a plurality of water transfer mechanisms 500 are arranged along the transmission mechanism 100, some of which are used to insert the cup 140 containing the water battery monomer, and other parts of which are used to remove the cup 140 containing the water battery monomer.

[0125] In the embodiment of the present application, along the transmission direction X of the transmission mechanism 100, the abnormality handling mechanism 400 is located upstream of the water transfer mechanism 500. In the case of diversion, the guide mechanism 200 first diverts the cups 140 to different logistics lines 130 in the second transmission section 120, and then the abnormal cups 140 on each logistics line 130 are transported out by the abnormality handling mechanism 400, and then the cups 140 containing water battery cells are inserted or removed by the water transfer mechanism 500; in the case of confluence, the abnormality handling mechanism 400 first transports the abnormal cups 140 on the second transmission section 120, and then the cups 140 containing water battery cells are inserted or removed by the water transfer mechanism 500, and then the normal cups 140 are merged by the guide mechanism 200.

[0126] It is understandable that, in some other possible embodiments of the present application, the water transfer mechanism 500 may also be located upstream of the abnormality handling mechanism 400. In addition, the water transfer mechanism 500 may also be disposed in the first transmission section 110.

[0127] Here, by setting the water flow mechanism 500 in the second transmission section 120, the insertion and removal of the water battery monomer can be effectively improved; the water flow mechanism 500 is set downstream of the abnormality handling mechanism 400, that is, the cup 140 is scanned first, and then the water battery monomer is inserted or removed, which can reduce the impact of the abnormality of the cup 140 on subsequent processes.

[0128] In order to facilitate the batch loading of battery cells, refer to Figure 8 In some possible embodiments of the present application, the first transmission section 110 and the second transmission section 120 form a loading area, and the battery pick-up and placement mechanism 300 includes a loading and placement assembly 310, which is used to take out the battery cells arranged in groups in the second transmission section 120 from the tray 140 and place them into the target processing station 700.

[0129] In the embodiment of the present application, the loading and placing assembly 310 can be a multi-degree-of-freedom fixture that can batch-clamp or release battery cells arranged in groups. The loading and placing assembly 310 can perform a pick-and-place operation corresponding to a certain logistics line 130 in the second transmission section 120, or can perform a pick-and-place operation corresponding to multiple logistics lines 130 in the second transmission section 120 to improve the pick-and-place efficiency.

[0130] In the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, a loading area is set, and the battery picking and placing mechanism 300 is provided with a loading and placing assembly 310 corresponding to the loading area, which can take out the battery cells arranged in groups in the second transmission section 120 from the support cup 140 and place them in the target processing station 700, and has a high battery cell loading efficiency.

[0131] Reference Figure 8In some embodiments of the present application, in the loading area, the abnormality handling mechanism 400, the moisture transfer mechanism 500 and the battery pick-and-place mechanism 300 are sequentially arranged along the transmission direction X of the transmission mechanism 100. Here, the loading area is used to transfer the battery monomer to the target processing station 700, and correspondingly, the battery pick-and-place mechanism 300 is used for loading the battery monomer, and the moisture transfer mechanism 500 is used for inserting the tray 140 for accommodating the moisture battery.

[0132] In the embodiment of the present application, the guiding mechanism 200 first diverts the cups 140 to different logistics lines 130 in the second transmission section 120, and the abnormal cups 140 on each logistics line 130 in the second transmission section 120 are respectively transported out by the abnormal handling mechanism 400, and the cups 140 for accommodating water batteries are inserted through the water transfer mechanism 500, and the cups 140 for accommodating water batteries and the normal cups 140 run to the battery picking and placing mechanism 300 to form groups of battery cells, and the loading and placing assembly 310 in the battery picking and placing mechanism 300 grabs the groups of battery cells and puts them into the target processing station 700, so as to realize batch loading of battery cells.

[0133] In the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, the cup 140 is first scanned in the loading area, and then the cup 140 of the water battery cell is inserted, and then the battery cell is picked up and placed to the target processing station 700 by the battery placement mechanism 300, and the layout is more reasonable.

[0134] In order to facilitate the batch unloading of battery cells, refer to Fig. 9 In some embodiments of the present application, the first transmission section 110 and the second transmission section 120 form a material unloading area, and the battery pick-up and placement mechanism 300 includes a loading and placing assembly 310, and the unloading and placing assembly 320 is used to pick up and place the battery cells arranged in groups in the target processing station 700 into the support cup 140 of the second transmission section 120.

[0135] In the embodiment of the present application, the unloading and placing assembly 320 may be a multi-degree-of-freedom fixture that can batch-clamp or release battery cells arranged in groups. The unloading and placing assembly 320 may perform a pick-and-place operation corresponding to a certain logistics line 130 in the second transmission section 120, or may perform a pick-and-place operation corresponding to multiple logistics lines 130 in the second transmission section 120, so as to improve the pick-and-place efficiency.

[0136] In the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, a material unloading area is set, and the battery picking and placing mechanism 300 is provided with a material unloading and placing component 320 corresponding to the material unloading area. The material unloading and placing component 320 is used to pick up and place the battery cells arranged in groups in the target processing station 700 into the support cup 140 of the second transmission section 120, and has a higher battery cell unloading efficiency.

[0137] Reference Fig. 9In some embodiments of the present application, in the unloading area, the abnormality handling mechanism 400, the battery pick-up and placement mechanism 300 and the water transfer mechanism 500 are sequentially arranged along the transmission direction X of the transmission mechanism 100. Here, the unloading area is used to transfer the battery monomers of the target processing station 700 to the corresponding logistics line 130, and correspondingly, the battery pick-up and placement mechanism 300 is used for unloading the battery monomers, and the water transfer mechanism 500 is used to remove the tray 140 containing the water battery.

[0138] In the embodiment of the present application, the guiding mechanism 200 first diverts the cups 140 to different logistics lines 130 in the second transmission section 120, and the abnormal cups 140 on each logistics line 130 in the second transmission section 120 are respectively transported out by the abnormal handling mechanism 400, and the unloading and placing assembly 320 in the battery picking and placing mechanism 300 grabs the battery cells arranged in groups and places them into the cups 140, and the cups 140 containing the water batteries are removed by the water transfer mechanism 500, and the remaining normal cups 140 continue to move along the logistics line 130 to realize batch unloading of battery cells.

[0139] In the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, the cup 140 is first scanned in the unloading area, and then the battery cells of the target processing station 700 are taken and placed in the second transmission section 120, and then the cup 140 containing the water battery cells is removed, and the layout is more reasonable.

[0140] In order to facilitate the transfer of the support cup 140 between different logistics lines 130, refer to Fig.10 In some possible embodiments of the present application, the battery pick-up and placement mechanism 300 also includes a pick-up and placement stopping cylinder 330 and a pick-up and placement stopping baffle 340 . The pick-up and placement stopping cylinder 330 drives the pick-up and placement stopping baffle 340 to stop or release the corresponding cup 140 on the logistics line 130 .

[0141] In the embodiment of the present application, the pick-up and placement stopping cylinder 330 is fixedly connected to the frame, and the output shaft of the pick-up and placement stopping cylinder 330 is connected to the pick-up and placement stopping baffle 340. Among them, the pick-up and placement stopping cylinder 330 can drive the pick-up and placement stopping baffle 340 to rotate, and can also drive the pick-up and placement stopping baffle 340 to translate. The pick-up and placement stopping baffle 340 rotates relative to the frame 600, and the rotation axis of the pick-up and placement stopping baffle 340 relative to the frame 600 can be perpendicular to the bearing surface, and can also be parallel to the transmission direction X. The pick-up and placement stopping baffle 340 translates relative to the frame 600, and the pick-up and placement stopping baffle 340 can move in a direction perpendicular to the bearing surface, and can also move in a direction parallel to the bearing surface and perpendicular to the transmission direction X.

[0142] In the embodiment of the present application, the pick-up and placement stopping cylinder 330 and the pick-up and placement stopping baffle 340 can be respectively set corresponding to each logistics line 130, or only one set of pick-up and placement stopping cylinder 330 and the pick-up and placement stopping baffle 340 can be set to achieve the stopping or releasing of multiple logistics lines 130, which has a simpler structure and better operational consistency.

[0143] In the embodiment of the present application, when the pick-up and placement blocking baffle 340 blocks the support cup 140, the pick-up and placement blocking baffle 340 is perpendicular to the transmission direction X and is arranged on the upper side of the bearing surface, and the distance between the pick-up and placement blocking baffle 340 and the bearing surface does not exceed the height of the support cup 140, and can abut against the support cup 140, thereby preventing the support cup 140 from moving relative to the rack 600. Accordingly, when the pick-up and placement blocking baffle 340 releases the support cup 140, the pick-up and placement blocking baffle 340 is lifted or rotated to the outside of the logistics line 130, so that the support cup 140 on the logistics line 130 can continue to move along the transmission direction X.

[0144] It can be understood that when the battery picking and placing mechanism 300 includes a loading and placing component 310 and a unloading and placing component 320, the loading and placing component 310 and the unloading and placing component 320 are respectively provided with a picking and placing stopping baffle 340, and along the transmission direction X, the picking and placing stopping baffle 340 is located downstream of the loading and placing component 310 / unloading and placing component 320.

In the stopped state, the battery cells can be easily loaded or unloaded.

[0146] In order to adapt to more target processing stations 700 with different production rhythms, refer to Figure 8 and Fig. 9 In some possible embodiments of the present application, the first transmission segment 110 and the second transmission segment 120 form a transmission interval, and at least two transmission intervals are arranged in series along the transmission direction X; and / or, at least two transmission intervals are arranged in parallel perpendicular to the transmission direction X.

[0147] In the embodiment of the present application, at least two transmission intervals are arranged in series along the transmission direction X. Specifically, multiple first transmission segments 110 and multiple second transmission segments 120 are arranged in sequence along the transmission direction X, and the first transmission segments 110 and the second transmission segments 120 are arranged alternately.

[0148] In an embodiment of the present application, at least two transmission intervals are connected in parallel, specifically including at least two first transmission segments 110, and each first transmission segment 110 is correspondingly provided with a different second transmission segment 120, and in different transmission intervals, multiple logistics lines 130 in adjacent first transmission segments 110 are arranged side by side, and multiple logistics lines 130 in adjacent second transmission segments 120 are arranged side by side.

[0149] It should be noted that a plurality of transmission intervals may also be stacked in series or in parallel, for example, two transmission intervals may be connected in parallel, and the first transmission segment 110 in the two transmission intervals may serve as the second transmission segment 120 of another transmission interval.

[0150] Reference Figure 8 and Fig. 9 In one example, the battery production line includes a loading area and a unloading area. The loading area includes two first transmission sections 110, and a second transmission section 120 is arranged between the two first transmission sections 110. The second transmission section 120 in the loading area corresponds to the feeding side of the target processing station 700.

A second transmission section 120 is arranged between the two first transmission sections 110, and the second transmission section 120 in the unloading area corresponds to the discharging side of the target processing station 700.

[0151] In the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, at least two transmission intervals can be connected in series to form a linear layout, or at least two transmission intervals can be arranged in parallel to facilitate adaptation to more target processing stations 700 with different production rhythms.

[0152] In order to facilitate the diversion of abnormal cup 140, refer to Fig.11 In some embodiments of the present application, the exception handling mechanism 400 also includes a first code scanning component 420 and an abnormal pick-up and placement component 430. The first code scanning component 420 is used to scan the support cup 140 to determine whether the support cup 140 is normal or abnormal, and the abnormal pick-up and placement component 430 picks and places the abnormal support cup 140 to the abnormal flow line 410.

[0153] In the embodiment of the present application, the first code scanning component 420 can scan the bracket 140 through the code scanner 421. The code scanner 421 can be photoelectric. The bracket 140 is provided with a two-dimensional code, a dot matrix code, etc. The code scanner 421 captures the image of the two-dimensional code and the dot matrix code and extracts the corresponding characteristic information. The number of the bracket 140, the inflow / outflow flow line 130 of the bracket 140, the performance parameters of the battery cell in the bracket 140, etc. can be obtained through the characteristic information. The code scanner 421 can also be electromagnetic, and the bracket 140 is correspondingly installed with a radio frequency chip with characteristic information.

[0154] In an embodiment of the present application, the abnormal picking and placing component 430 works based on the scanning result of the first scanning component 420. When the first scanning component 420 scans an abnormal cup 140, for example, multiple scans are unsuccessful, or the feature information obtained by scanning does not meet the subsequent processing requirements, the abnormal picking and placing component 430 picks and places the corresponding cup 140 to the abnormal flow line 410.

[0155] In the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, by setting up the first code scanning component 420, the information of different support cups 140 on the logistics line 130 can be obtained to facilitate the subsequent processing of the support cups 140 and the battery cells therein, and the scanning of the first code scanning component 420 can also promptly determine whether the support cup 140 is abnormal, and the abnormal support cup 140 can be promptly placed into the abnormal circulation line 410 through the abnormal processing mechanism 400.

[0156] In order to facilitate the pick-up and placement operation of the abnormal cup 140, refer to Fig.11 In some embodiments of the present application, the abnormal pick-and-place component 430 includes an abnormal pick-and-place cylinder 431 and an abnormal pick-and-place push plate 432 , and the abnormal pick-and-place cylinder 431 drives the abnormal pick-and-place push plate 432 to move between the corresponding logistics line 130 and the abnormal flow line 410 .

[0157] In the embodiment of the present application, the abnormal pick-up and release cylinder 431 is connected to the frame, the output shaft of the abnormal pick-up and release cylinder 431 is connected to the abnormal pick-up and release push plate 432, and the abnormal pick-up and release cylinder 431 drives the abnormal pick-up and release push plate 432 to move in a preset direction. Among them, the preset direction is parallel to the bearing surface, and the preset direction is at an acute angle, a right angle, or an obtuse angle with the transmission direction X. For example, the abnormal flow line 410 is arranged side by side with the corresponding logistics line 130, and the abnormal pick-up and release cylinder 431 is located on the side of the logistics line 130 away from the abnormal flow line 410, and the preset direction is arranged at a right angle to the transmission direction X, that is, the abnormal pick-up and release cylinder 431 drives the abnormal pick-up and release push plate 432 to move in a direction perpendicular to the transmission direction X, thereby pushing the support cup 140 on the logistics line 130 to the abnormal flow line 410.

[0158] In the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, by setting an abnormal picking and placing push plate 432 and an abnormal picking and placing cylinder 431, the abnormal picking and placing cylinder 431 can drive the abnormal picking and placing push plate 432 to move between the corresponding logistics line 130 and the abnormal flow line 410, thereby pushing the abnormal cup 140 from the logistics line 130 into the corresponding abnormal flow line 410, and it is driven on one side, with a simple structure and easy implementation.

[0159] In order to facilitate the abnormal cup 140 to implement the pick-up and placement operation, refer to Fig.11In some embodiments of the present application, the abnormality handling mechanism 400 also includes an abnormality stopping cylinder 440 and an abnormality stopping baffle 450 . The abnormality stopping cylinder 440 drives the abnormality stopping baffle 450 to stop or release the corresponding support cup 140 on the logistics line 130 .

[0160] In the embodiment of the present application, the abnormal blocking baffle 450 is arranged on the logistics line 130 corresponding to the abnormal flow line 410, and is located downstream of the abnormal picking and placing component 430. The abnormal blocking cylinder 440 drives the abnormal blocking baffle 450 based on the working status of the first scanning component 420 and the abnormal picking and placing component 430. When the first scanning component 420 scans the abnormal cup 140, the abnormal blocking cylinder 440 drives the abnormal blocking baffle 450 to stop the cup 140 on the logistics line 130. When the abnormal picking and placing component 430 picks and places the abnormal cup 140 to the abnormal flow line 410, the abnormal blocking cylinder 440 releases the cup 140 on the logistics line 130.

[0161] It should be noted that since the first scanning component 420 and the abnormal blocking baffle 450 have an installation spacing along the transmission direction X, the abnormal blocking cylinder 440 can delay working after the first scanning component 420 scans the abnormal cup 140, so that the abnormal cup 140 can continue to move along the transmission line to the position corresponding to the abnormal picking and placing component 430.

[0162] In the embodiment of the present application, the abnormality stopping cylinder 440 is fixedly connected to the frame, and the output shaft of the abnormality stopping cylinder 440 is connected to the abnormality stopping baffle 450. Among them, the abnormality stopping cylinder 440 can drive the abnormality stopping baffle 450 to rotate, and can also drive the abnormality stopping baffle 450 to translate. The abnormality stopping baffle 450 rotates relative to the frame 600, and the rotation axis of the abnormality stopping baffle 450 relative to the frame 600 can be perpendicular to the bearing surface, and can also be parallel to the transmission direction X. The abnormality stopping baffle 450 translates relative to the frame 600, and the abnormality stopping baffle 450 can move in a direction perpendicular to the bearing surface, and can also move in a direction parallel to the bearing surface and perpendicular to the transmission direction X.

[0163] In the embodiment of the present application, when the abnormal blocking baffle 450 blocks the support cup 140, the abnormal blocking baffle 450 is arranged perpendicular to the transmission direction X and is arranged on the upper side of the bearing surface, and the distance between the abnormal blocking baffle 450 and the bearing surface does not exceed the height of the support cup 140, and can abut against the support cup 140, thereby preventing the support cup 140 from moving relative to the frame 600. Accordingly, when the abnormal blocking baffle 450 releases the support cup 140, the abnormal blocking baffle 450 is lifted or rotated to the outside of the logistics line 130, so that the support cup 140 on the logistics line 130 can continue to move along the transmission direction X.

[0164] In the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, by setting up an abnormal blocking cylinder 440 and an abnormal blocking baffle 450, the abnormal blocking cylinder 440 can drive the abnormal blocking baffle 450 to move, thereby stopping or releasing the support cup 140 on the corresponding logistics line 130. In the stopped state, it is convenient to guide the abnormal support cup 140 into the abnormal flow line 410.

[0165] In order to facilitate the operation of taking and placing the cup 140 containing the water battery monomer, refer to Fig.12 In some embodiments of the present application, the water transfer mechanism 500 also includes a water picking and releasing cylinder 520 and a water picking and releasing clamp 530. The water picking and releasing clamp 530 is used to clamp or release the cup 140 containing the water battery cell. The water picking and releasing cylinder 520 is used to drive the water picking and placing clamp 530 to move between the corresponding logistics line 130 and the water transfer line 510.

[0166] In the embodiment of the present application, the water taking and releasing cylinder 520 is connected to the frame, the output shaft of the water taking and releasing cylinder 520 is connected to the water taking and releasing clamp 530, and the water taking and releasing cylinder 520 drives the water taking and releasing clamp 530 to move in a preset direction. For example, the water flow line 510 and the corresponding logistics line 130 are arranged side by side, the water taking and releasing cylinder 520 is connected to one side of the logistics line 130, and the preset direction is arranged at a right angle to the transmission direction X, that is, the water taking and releasing cylinder 520 drives the water taking and releasing clamp 530 to move in a direction perpendicular to the transmission direction X, so as to take and place the support cup 140 containing the water battery on the logistics line 130 to the water flow line 510, or take and place the support cup 140 containing the water battery in the water flow line 510 to the corresponding logistics line 130.

[0167] In the embodiment of the present application, the water taking and placing clamping jaw 530 can be electric, pneumatic, hydraulic, etc., and the water taking and placing clamping jaw 530 can be two-claw type, three-claw type, etc., and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this. It can be understood that the water taking and placing clamping jaw 530 can limit the support cup 140 along a preset direction, and its layout position is relatively flexible.

[0168] In the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, by providing a water taking and placing clamp 530 and a water taking and placing cylinder 520, the water taking and placing cylinder 520 can drive the water taking and placing clamp 530 to move between the corresponding logistics line 130 and the water flow line 510, and the water clamp clamps or releases the cup 140 containing the water battery monomer, thereby moving the cup 140 containing the water battery monomer from the logistics line 130 to the corresponding water flow line 510, or moving the cup 140 containing the water battery monomer from the water flow line 510 to the corresponding logistics line 130. Among them, the water clamp has a high limiting capacity, which can reduce the possibility of the cup 140 falling off, and facilitates the two-way movement of the cup 140.

[0169] In order to facilitate the operation of taking and placing the cup 140 containing the water battery monomer, refer to Fig.12 In some embodiments of the present application, the moisture transfer mechanism 500 also includes a moisture stopping cylinder 540 and a moisture stopping baffle 550. The moisture stopping cylinder 540 drives the moisture stopping baffle 550 to move to stop or release the support cup 140 on the corresponding logistics line 130.

[0170] In the embodiment of the present application, the moisture blocking baffle 550 is arranged on the logistics line 130 corresponding to the moisture transfer line 510. In the loading area, the moisture blocking baffle 550 is located upstream of the moisture picking and placing clamp 530 along the transmission direction X. The moisture blocking cylinder 540 can drive the moisture blocking baffle 550 based on the working state of the first code scanning component 420 and the moisture picking and placing clamp 530. The first code scanning component 420 can count the normal cups 140 to determine the position where the water battery cell needs to be inserted. When the water battery cell needs to be inserted, the moisture blocking cylinder 540 drives the moisture blocking baffle 550 to stop the cups 140 on the logistics line 130. When the water picking and placing clamp 530 picks and places the cups 140 containing the water battery cell to the logistics line 130, the moisture blocking cylinder 540 releases the cups 140 on the logistics line 130. Of course, counting can also be achieved by a separately set counter.

[0171] Correspondingly, in the unloading area, the moisture stopping baffle 550 is located downstream of the moisture picking and placing clamp 530 along the transmission direction X, and the moisture stopping cylinder 540 can drive the moisture stopping baffle 550 based on the working status of the first scanning component 420 and the moisture picking and placing clamp 530. When the first scanning component 420 scans the cup 140 containing the moisture battery cell, the moisture stopping cylinder 540 drives the moisture stopping baffle 550 to stop the cup 140 on the logistics line 130. When the moisture picking and placing clamp 530 picks and places the cup 140 containing the moisture battery cell to the moisture flow line 510, the moisture stopping cylinder 540 releases the cup 140 on the logistics line 130.

[0172] It should be noted that since the first scanning component 420 and the moisture stopping baffle 550 have an installation spacing along the transmission direction X, the moisture stopping cylinder 540 can delay working after the first scanning component 420 sends a corresponding signal, so that the support cup 140 containing the moisture battery cell can continue to move along the transmission line to the position of the corresponding moisture picking and placing clamp 530.

[0173] In the embodiment of the present application, the moisture blocking cylinder 540 is fixedly connected to the frame, and the output shaft of the moisture blocking cylinder 540 is connected to the moisture blocking baffle 550. The moisture blocking cylinder 540 can drive the moisture blocking baffle 550 to rotate, and can also drive the moisture blocking baffle 550 to translate. The moisture blocking baffle 550 rotates relative to the frame 600, and the rotation axis of the moisture blocking baffle 550 relative to the frame 600 can be perpendicular to the bearing surface, or parallel to the transmission direction X. The moisture blocking baffle 550 translates relative to the frame 600, and the moisture blocking baffle 550 can move in a direction perpendicular to the bearing surface, or in a direction parallel to the bearing surface and perpendicular to the transmission direction X.

[0174] In the embodiment of the present application, when the moisture blocking baffle 550 blocks the support cup 140, the moisture blocking baffle 550 is arranged perpendicular to the transmission direction X and is arranged on the upper side of the bearing surface, and the distance between the moisture blocking baffle 550 and the bearing surface does not exceed the height of the support cup 140, and can abut against the support cup 140, thereby preventing the support cup 140 from moving relative to the rack 600. Accordingly, when the moisture blocking baffle 550 releases the support cup 140, the moisture blocking baffle 550 is lifted or rotated to the outside of the logistics line 130, so that the support cup 140 on the logistics line 130 can continue to move along the transmission direction X.

[0175] In the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, by setting up a moisture stopping cylinder 540 and a moisture stopping baffle 550, the moisture stopping cylinder 540 can drive the moisture stopping baffle 550 to move, thereby stopping or releasing the support cup 140 on the corresponding logistics line 130, so as to facilitate the transfer of the support cup 140 accommodating the moisture battery cell between the moisture flow line 510 and the corresponding logistics line 130.

[0176] In order to facilitate the acquisition of the cup 140 containing the water battery, refer to Fig.12 In some embodiments of the present application, the water transfer mechanism 500 further includes a second code scanning component 560, which is disposed on the water transfer line 510, and is used to scan the cup 140 containing the water battery cell.

[0177] In an embodiment of the present application, the second code scanning component 560 and the first code scanning component 420 may adopt the same or different structures. For example, the second code scanning component 560 includes a code scanner 421, which is arranged at the bottom or side of the moisture flow line 510 and is used to scan the moisture battery holder 140. When the code scanner 421 is arranged at the bottom, a hole is opened at the corresponding position of the moisture flow line 510.

[0178] In the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, the second code scanning component 560 is provided to facilitate acquisition of information of different cups 140 on the water flow line 510 , so as to facilitate subsequent processing of the cups 140 containing the water battery cells.

[0179] Reference Fig.13 In some possible embodiments of the present application, the battery production line further includes a rack 600, which is used to carry the first transmission section 110 and the second transmission section 120. The rack 600 may be a frame structure formed by connecting a plurality of support rods, and the support frame may lift the first transmission section 110 and the second transmission section 120 relative to the ground to facilitate the docking of the first transmission section 110 and the second transmission section 120 with the corresponding target processing station 700.

[0182] In the embodiment of the present application, the corresponding logistics lines 130 in the first transmission section 110 and the second transmission section 120 are connected through the guide groove 220, that is, the cup 140 passes through the guide groove 220, thereby entering another logistics line 130 from one logistics line 130. Among them, the guide mechanism 200 can be provided with a transmission belt or a transmission chain plate as a transition transmission component to drive the cup 140 to move in the guide groove 220, or, the logistics lines 130 in the first transmission section 110 and the second transmission section 120 are connected, and the cup 140 is still transmitted by the logistics line 130, and the guide mechanism 200 is used to change the movement direction of the cup 140.

[0189] In the embodiment of the present application, the output section of the guide cylinder 230 is telescopically arranged. Since the guide cylinder 230, the guide plate 210 and the frame 600 are all connected by rotation, when the guide cylinder 230 is telescoped, the angle between the guide cylinder 230 and the guide plate 210 will be changed, thereby driving the guide plate 210 to move relative to the frame 600.

[0190] In the embodiment of the present application, the rotation connection part between the guide plate 210 and the frame 600 can be arranged close to the first transmission section 110, or close to the second transmission section 120.

In addition, in the case of merging, a merging stop cylinder and a merging stop baffle can also be set between the second transmission section 120 and the first transmission section 110. The merging stop cylinder and the merging stop baffle can be set with reference to the above-mentioned abnormal stop cylinder 440 and abnormal stop baffle 450. The merging stop cylinder and the merging stop baffle can adjust the movement rhythm of the support cups 140 on each logistics line 130 to reduce the congestion of multiple support cups 140.

The transverse cylinder 250 is used to drive the guiding push plate 240 or the guiding clamp 260 to move along a preset direction. The guiding push plate 240 is used to push the support cup 140, and the guiding clamp 260 is used to grab the support cup 140. The preset direction is set at an angle to the transmission direction X of the logistics line 130.

[0195] It should be noted that one side of the guide push plate 240 is connected to the transverse cylinder 250, and the other side of the guide push plate 240 is used to push the support cup 140. The guide push plate 240 can drive the support cup 140 to move in one direction. Therefore, in the case of diversion, the guide push plate 240 needs to be set on the outside of the logistics line 130 close to the first transmission section 110 in the second transmission section 120. In the case of confluence, the guide push plate 240 needs to be set on the outside of the logistics line 130 in the second transmission section 120 away from the first transmission section 110. The outside of the logistics line 130 is the side of the second transmission section 120 where the two logistics lines 130 are away from each other.

[0196] In the embodiment of the present application, the guide clamp 260 can be electric, pneumatic, hydraulic, etc., and the guide clamp 260 can be two-claw type, three-claw type, etc., and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this. It can be understood that the guide clamp 260 can limit the support cup 140 along a preset direction, and its layout position is relatively flexible.

[0197] In the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, by setting a guide push plate 240 and a transverse cylinder 250, the transverse cylinder 250 can drive the guide push plate 240 to move to a preset position along a preset direction, thereby pushing the corresponding support cup 140 to the corresponding logistics line 130 entrance, and the occupied space in the transmission direction X is small; the guide push plate 240 only needs to be driven on one side, the structure is simple, and it is easy to implement. The guide clamp 260 has a high limiting ability, which can reduce the possibility of the support cup 140 falling off, and can realize two-way movement of the support cup 140 in the preset direction.

[0198] In order to facilitate the diversion of different cups 140, refer to Fig.18 , Fig.19 and Fig. 20 In some possible embodiments of the present application, the battery production line also includes a first code scanning component 420, and the first code scanning component 420 is arranged corresponding to the guiding mechanism 200. The first code scanning component 420 includes a code scanner 421, and the code scanner 421 is used to scan the support cup 140. The guiding mechanism 200 moves based on the scanning result of the code scanner 421.

[0199] In an embodiment of the present application, the guiding mechanism 200 moves based on the scanning result of the code scanning, and the guiding cylinder 230 or the transverse cylinder 250 may switch the preset position based on the scanning result, thereby guiding the scanned support cup 140 to different logistics lines 130; or, the guiding cylinder 230 cooperates with the guiding push plate 240 to stop or release the corresponding support cup 140 based on the scanning result.

[0200] In the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, by setting up the first code scanning component 420, the information of different cups 140 on the logistics line 130 can be obtained, so that the user can know the circulation status of each cup 140, and the first code scanning component 420 can also cooperate with the guiding mechanism 200. The guiding mechanism 200 can switch to different preset positions according to the code scanning structure, and can realize the diversion of the cups 140 according to needs.

[0201] In order to facilitate the scanning of the cup 140, refer to Fig.18 , Fig.19 and Fig. 20 In some possible embodiments of the present application, the first code scanning component 420 also includes a rotating disk 422, a retaining ring 423 and a turntable motor 424; the rotating disk 422 is rotatably connected to the frame 600, and a notch 422a is provided on the circumferential side of the rotating disk 422, and the movement path of the notch 422a intersects with the corresponding logistics line 130 and the code scanner 421; the retaining ring 423 is provided on the circumferential side of the rotating disk 422, and the notch 422a and the retaining ring 423 are enclosed to form a limiting groove, and the limiting groove is used to accommodate a single support cup 140; the turntable motor 424 is relatively fixed to the frame 600, and the output shaft of the turntable motor 424 is transmission-connected to the rotating disk 422.

[0202] In the embodiment of the present application, the rotating disk 422 is a disc-shaped structure and is arranged parallel to the bearing surface. A notch 422a is arranged on the circumferential side of the rotating disk 422, and no retaining ring 423 is arranged at the bearing surface of the logistics line 130. When the rotating disk 422 is rotated until the notch 422a is aligned with the bearing surface, the battery cell can enter the notch 422a from the logistics line 130. Under the limitation of the retaining ring 423, the support cup 140 follows the movement of the rotating disk 422, moves from one side of the rotating disk 422 to the other side, and then enters the logistics line 130 through the notch 422a.

[0203] In the embodiment of the present application, the limiting groove is used to accommodate a single supporting cup 140. Specifically, the size of the notch 422a is larger than the size of a single supporting cup 140, but smaller than the size of two supporting cups 140. When the notch 422a is aligned with the logistics line 130, only one supporting cup 140 can enter the notch 422a and move with the rotating disk 422. The subsequent supporting cups 140 are stopped by the surrounding side of the rotating disk 422 where the notch 422a is not provided.

[0204] In the embodiment of the present application, one or more notches 422a can be provided, and the plurality of notches 422a can be distributed at intervals along the circumference of the rotating disk 422. It can be understood that the fewer the number of notches 422a, the larger the spacing between two adjacent notches 422a along the circumference of the rotating disk 422, and the better the spacing effect. For example, the rotating disk 422 is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed notches 422a to achieve even spacing of the plurality of cups 140.

[0205] In the embodiment of the present application, the turntable motor 424 is fixed relative to the frame 600, and the output shaft of the turntable motor 424 can be directly connected to the rotating disk 422. Alternatively, the output shaft of the turntable motor 424 is connected to a transmission component 425 such as a gear assembly and a pulley assembly, and the rotating disk 422 is driven to move through the transmission component 425.

[0206] In the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, the turntable motor 424 can drive the rotating disk 422 to rotate relative to the frame 600. During the rotation process, the cup 140 on the logistics line 130 can enter the first code scanning component 420 from the notch 422a on one side of the first code scanning component 420. The notch 422a drives the first code scanning component 420 to rotate and pass through the code scanner 421, and then enters the logistics line 130 from the notch 422a on the other side of the first code scanning component 420. The retaining ring 423 prevents the cup 140 from escaping from the rotating disk 422. Since the limiting groove formed by the notch 422a can only accommodate a single cup 140, the distance operation of the cup 140 on the logistics line 130 can also be realized, and the cup 140 after the distance is also more convenient for code scanning.

[0207] In order to facilitate the layout of the rotating disk 422, refer to Fig.18 In some possible embodiments of the present application, the logistics line 130 includes a first side 131 and a second side 132 relative to each other, and the distance between the central axis of the rotating disk 422 and the first side 131 is smaller than the distance between the central axis of the rotating disk 422 and the second side 132 .

[0208] In the embodiment of the present application, the central axis of the rotating disk 422 is the relative rotation axis of the rotating disk 422 and the frame 600, and the distance between the central axis of the rotating disk 422 and the side of the logistics line 130 refers to the distance between the central axis of the rotating disk 422 and the side of the logistics line 130 in a direction parallel to the load-bearing surface and perpendicular to the transmission direction X.

[0209] In one example, the central axis of the rotating disk 422 has a first distance D1 from the first side 131, and the central axis of the rotating disk 422 has a second distance D2 from the second side 132. The first distance D1 is smaller than the second distance D2, that is, the rotating disk 422 is offset relative to the logistics line 130 in a direction away from the second side 132, which can facilitate the layout of the rotating disk 422.

[0210] In one example, two adjacent logistics lines 130 are each provided with a rotating disk 422 , and the two rotating disks 422 are offset relative to the corresponding logistics lines 130 in a direction away from each other, so that the distance between the two logistics lines 130 can be closer, thereby saving space.

[0211] In the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, the spacing between the rotating disk 422 and the first side 131 and the second side 132 in the corresponding logistics line 130 is different, that is, the rotating disk 422 is offset relative to the logistics line 130, which facilitates the layout of the rotating disk 422 and also helps save space, making the battery production line structure more compact.

[0212] In order to facilitate the cup 140 to enter or exit the notch 422a, refer to Fig.18 and Fig.19 In some possible embodiments of the present application, the first code scanning component 420 also includes a guide block 426, which is disposed on the second side 132. The guide block 426 has a guide surface 426a on the side facing the first side 131, and the guide surface 426a is an arc surface, and the guide surface 426a is connected to the second side 132 away from the rotating disk.

[0213] In the embodiment of the present application, the notch 422a of the rotating disk 422 is easier to align with the logistics line 130 on the second side 132, and the guide block 426 is disposed on the second side 132 to more easily guide the support cup 140 to move relative to the notch 422a.

[0214] In the embodiment of the present application, a guide surface 426a is provided on the side of the guide block 426 away from the second side edge 132. The guide surface 426a may be a plane or an arc surface. As the guide block 426 moves away from the rotating disk 422, the guide surface 426a gradually approaches the second side edge 132 to facilitate connection with the second side edge 132, so that the support cup 140 can follow the movement of the guide surface 426a.

[0215] In the embodiment of the present application, guide blocks 426 may be provided on both sides of the rotating disk 422 along the transmission direction X, and the structures of the two guide blocks 426 may be the same or different. For example, the two guide surfaces 426a are concave arc surfaces. The guide block 426 located on the unloading side of the rotating disk 422 has a larger size along the vertical transmission direction X, so that the support cup 140 can quickly escape from the notch 422a; the guide block 426 located on the unloading side of the rotating disk 422 has a larger size along the transmission direction X, so as to guide the support cup 140 in advance.

[0216] In the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, a guide block 426 is set, and the side of the guide block 426 facing the first side 131 has a guide surface 426a, and the guide surface 426a is an arc surface, and the guide surface 426a is connected to the second side 132 away from the rotating disk, so that the guide block 426 can provide guidance for the support cup 140, so that the support cup 140 can enter the notch 422a, or exit from the notch 422a to enter the logistics line 130.

[0217] In order to facilitate the deployment of the barcode scanner 421, refer to Fig.18 , Fig.19 and Fig. 20 In some possible embodiments of the present application, the first code scanning component 420 also includes a base plate 427, the base plate 427 is connected to the frame 600, the base plate 427 includes a first side and a second side opposite to each other, the first side is used to support the support cup 140; the turntable motor 424 and the code scanner 421 are both connected to the second side, and a code scanning hole 427a is opened on the base plate 427 corresponding to the position of the code scanner 421, and the code scanner 421 scans the corresponding support cup 140 through the code scanning hole 427a.

[0218] In the embodiment of the present application, the bottom plate 427 and the retaining ring 423 can be integrally formed or separately provided and fixedly connected. The outer contour of the bottom plate 427 is adapted to the contour of the retaining ring 423. The bottom plate 427 can provide good support for the support cup 140 to facilitate the stable movement of the support cup 140.

[0219] In the embodiment of the present application, the upper side of the bottom plate 427, i.e., the side where the bottom plate 427 is flush with the bearing surface, and the lower side of the bottom plate 427, i.e., the side where the bottom plate 427 is away from the rotating disk 422, the rotating disk 422 and the turntable motor 424 are respectively arranged on different sides of the bottom plate 427, thereby reducing the possibility of interference between the two.

[0220] In the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, by setting a bottom plate, support can be provided for the support cup, and a scanning hole 427a is opened on the bottom plate, so that the scanner 421 can be arranged on the second side of the bottom plate. The space on the second side is larger, which is convenient for the arrangement of the scanner 421, and the bottom of the support cup is relatively flat, which is also more conducive to scanning.

[0221] In order to facilitate the determination of the position of the support cup 140, refer to Fig. 20 In some possible embodiments of the present application, the first code scanning component 420 also includes at least one in-position sensor 428, and the in-position sensor 428 includes a light emitter 428a and a light receiver 428b that are relatively arranged, and the light emitter 428a and the light receiver 428b are respectively arranged on the inner side and the outer side of the movement path of the notch 422a.

[0222] In the embodiment of the present application, the in-position sensor 428 can be photoelectric, battery, pressure, etc. For example, the in-position sensor 428 is photoelectric, which includes a light emitter 428a and a light sensor. The light emitter 428a can emit a light beam toward the light sensor, and the light sensor is used to receive the light beam. It can be understood that when the cup 140 moves between the light emitter 428a and the light sensor, the light is blocked, and the light sensor can be triggered.

[0223] In the embodiment of the present application, the movement path of the notch 422a is specifically the path that the notch 422a follows the rotation of the rotating disk 422. It can be understood that the support cup 140 follows the movement of the notch 422a and will move between the light emitter 428a and the light sensor, thereby triggering the in-place sensor 428.

[0224] In the embodiment of the present application, one or more in-position sensors 428 may be provided, and the multiple in-position sensors 428 may be distributed at intervals along the circumference of the rotating disk 422, and multiple different notches 422a on the rotating disk 422 may be synchronously detected. In addition, a light emitter 428a may also be provided, and correspond to multiple light sensors.

[0225] In the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, an in-position sensor 428 is set, and the in-position sensor 428 includes a light receiver 428b and a light emitter 428a. Since the light emitter 428a and the light receiver 428b are respectively arranged on the inner and outer sides of the movement path of the notch 422a, that is, the light emitted by the light emitter 428a needs to pass through the movement path of the support cup 140, when there is a support cup 140, the light emitted by the light emitter 428a is blocked by the support cup 140 and cannot reach the light receiver 428b, so that it can be determined that there is a support cup 140 at the corresponding position.

[0226] It should be noted that the cylinders and motors in the guide cylinder 230, the lateral cylinder, the pick-up and release blocking cylinder 330, the abnormal pick-up and release cylinder 431, the abnormal blocking cylinder 440, the moisture pick-up and release cylinder 520, the moisture blocking cylinder 540 and the turntable motor 424 are all examples, which can be components that output rotational drive such as motors and rotary cylinders, or components that output linear drive such as cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, and electric telescopic rods. Transmission components such as gear assemblies, rack assemblies, worm gears, cam assemblies, pulley assemblies, and sprocket assemblies can also be arranged between the cylinders, motors, and corresponding driven components (guide plate 210, retaining ring 423, rotating disk 422, etc.).

Therefore, the target processing station 700 can adapt to the production rhythm of upstream and downstream production equipment, thereby improving the production rhythm of the entire battery production line.

The guide push plate 240 is connected to the output shaft of the transverse cylinder 250, and the transverse cylinder 250 drives the guide push plate 240 to move, thereby pushing the cups 140 of different logistics lines 130 in the second transmission section 120 to the logistics line 130 of the first transmission section 110.

[0231] In the loading area, the abnormality handling mechanism 400, the water flow mechanism 500 and the battery pick-and-place mechanism 300 are sequentially arranged along the transmission direction X of the transmission mechanism 100. First, the guide mechanism 200 diverts the cups 140 to different logistics lines 130 in the second transmission section 120, and the abnormal cups 140 on each logistics line 130 in the second transmission section 120 are respectively transported out by the abnormality handling mechanism 400, and inserted into the cups 140 containing water batteries through the water flow mechanism 500. The cups 140 containing water batteries and the normal cups 140 run to the battery pick-and-place mechanism 300 to form battery cells in groups, and the loading and placing assembly 310 in the battery pick-and-place mechanism 300 grabs the battery cells in groups and puts them into the target processing station 700 to realize batch loading of battery cells.

[0232] In the unloading area, the abnormality handling mechanism 400, the battery pick-and-place mechanism 300 and the water transfer mechanism 500 are sequentially arranged along the transmission direction X of the transmission mechanism 100.
