Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] It should be noted that the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, apparatus, product or equipment that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or are inherent to these processes, methods, products or equipment.

[0042] The following is combined with Figures 1-9 This application is described in further detail.

[0043] refer to Figure 1-Figure 2The device is an automatic resin ring installation device, comprising: a machine platform, on which a resin ring loading mechanism 1, a battery loading track 2, a material tray mechanism 3, a compacting mechanism 4 and a battery unloading mechanism 5 are provided; the material tray mechanism 3 includes a plurality of battery processing stations; during processing, the battery is transported to the plurality of battery processing stations in sequence via the battery loading track 2, and then the resin ring loading mechanism 1 places the resin ring on the battery end at the battery processing station, and then the compacting mechanism 4 compacts the resin ring at the battery end to fix the resin ring at the battery end, and finally the processed battery is unloaded via the battery unloading mechanism 5, thereby completing the processing of the battery resin ring, with a high degree of automation and improved processing efficiency.

[0044] refer to Figure 2-Figure 5 As shown, since the resin ring is relatively thin, it is easy for multiple resin rings to be stacked together during the feeding process, which will affect the subsequent battery resin ring coating. In order to solve this problem, the resin ring feeding mechanism 1 includes a circular vibration plate 11, a linear conveying track 12, a screening plate, a manipulator 13, a cache mechanism 17 and a transfer assembly; the screening plate includes a flexible vibration plate 14, a coaxial light source 15 arranged on the top of the flexible vibration plate 14 and a transparent carrier plate 16 arranged on the top of the coaxial light source 15, and the machine is provided with a detection camera 7 directly above the transparent carrier plate 16; one end of the linear conveying track 12 is connected to the discharge end of the circular vibration plate 11, and the other end extends to the top of the transparent carrier plate 16; a plurality of resin ring cache stations 171 are provided on the cache mechanism 17; the manipulator 13 is used to place the independent resin rings on the transparent carrier plate 16 on a plurality of resin ring cache stations 171 in turn; the transfer assembly The component is used to transfer the resin rings on the resin ring buffer station 171 to the battery end at the battery processing station in sequence. In this way, the resin rings are discharged from the circular vibration disk 11 and enter the linear conveying track 12. They are conveyed to the screening disk through the linear conveying track 12. The stacked resin rings are dispersed by the vibration of the flexible vibration disk 14 and irradiated upward by the coaxial light source 15. Resin rings of different thicknesses have different light transmittances. The detection camera 7 above is used to take pictures and detect them. The manipulator 13 absorbs (or clamps) the single-piece resin ring (resin ring without overlapping) and transfers it to the multiple resin ring buffer stations 171 of the buffer mechanism 17 for caching based on the information obtained from the shooting. In this way, only one resin ring is placed at each resin ring buffer station 171 to ensure that only one resin ring is covered on the battery later, thereby improving the equipment utilization rate and improving the processing efficiency. The specific structure of the transfer component is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, it includes a frame 6 and a suction nozzle 61 movably arranged on the frame 6. The suction nozzle 61 absorbs the resin ring at the resin ring buffer station 171 and transfers it to the battery end at the battery processing station to complete the loading of the resin ring.

[0045] refer to Figure 3As shown, in order to prevent the resin rings on the transparent carrier 16 from flying off from the circumferential side, the screening plate also includes a baffle 18 arranged in the circumferential direction of the transparent carrier 16, and a material leakage port is left between the baffle 18 and the transparent carrier 16. The machine is provided with a material receiving frame 19 below the material leakage port. In this way, the stacked resin rings and the resin rings not sucked (or clamped) by the manipulator 13 fall into the material receiving frame 19 from the material leakage port to complete the collection. In order to prevent the material in the material receiving frame 19 from overflowing, a detection sensor is provided on the top of the material receiving frame 19 (the detection direction of the detection sensor is horizontal, and it can be an infrared sensor). When the detection sensor detects the material, it means that the material in the material receiving frame 19 is full, and the staff is prompted through an alarm mechanism.

[0046] refer to Figure 3 As shown, in order to further disperse the resin rings, the linear conveying track 12 is set at an angle, and a guide groove 121 is provided at the bottom end of the linear conveying track 12. The discharge end of the guide groove 121 extends into the circular vibration disk 11, and the linear conveying track 12 can use vibration to feed the material, so that the superimposed resin rings are dispersed, and the fallen resin rings are transported back to the circular vibration disk 11 through the guide groove 121.

[0047] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in order to realize the caching function, the caching mechanism 17 includes a cache disk 172 and a first rotating platform 173 for driving the cache disk 172 to rotate. The first rotating platform 173 is arranged on the machine platform, and a plurality of resin ring cache stations 171 are arranged on the cache disk 172 in a circular manner. The resin ring cache station 171 includes a positioning column arranged on the cache disk 172, and the positioning column is adapted to the inner hole of the resin ring. In this way, the manipulator 13 transfers the clamped resin ring to the resin ring cache station 171, and is sleeved on the positioning column through the inner hole of the resin ring, and the first The rotating table 173 rotates at a specified time interval, so that the robot 13 places the resin ring in turn at several resin ring cache stations 171 for subsequent processing. Moreover, when the robot 13 does not place the resin ring on the positioning column or places it incorrectly, the detection sensor arranged on the first rotating table 173 (the detection direction of the detection sensor is vertical, and an infrared sensor can be used) is used to detect the several resin ring cache stations 171 in turn. If the detection sensor does not detect the resin ring, the equipment will report an error and notify the staff to make adjustments.

[0048] refer to Figure 6-Figure 8As shown, the material tray mechanism 3 includes a disc 31 and a second rotating table 32. The disc 31 is placed on the top of the second rotating table 32. A plurality of battery processing stations are evenly arranged in a circle around the disc 31. When the disc 31 rotates, the plurality of battery processing stations pass through the discharge end of the battery loading track 2 in sequence. The battery processing station includes two clamping jaws 33 and a limiting component for keeping the two clamping jaws 33 in a clamping state. The two clamping jaws 33 are arranged in the horizontal direction. A driving member for driving the two clamping jaws 33 to move in reverse is provided on the second rotating table 32. In this way, during processing, the battery is placed The battery processing station clamps the battery through two clamps 33. Since several battery processing stations are arranged on the disc 31, when one battery processing station is processing, other battery processing stations can carry out loading and unloading work. When the second turntable 32 rotates, the battery processing station passes through the transfer assembly, the discharge end of the battery loading track 2, the compacting mechanism 4 and the battery unloading mechanism 5 in sequence (an empty battery processing station detection mechanism, a good and bad product detection mechanism, etc. can also be set). Multiple battery processing steps are carried out simultaneously, which improves processing efficiency and reduces equipment standby time.

[0049] refer to Figure 7-Figure 9 As shown, the battery processing station also includes a first slide rail 34 arranged on the disc 31, the first slide rail 34 is arranged horizontally, and the two clamping jaws 33 are slidably arranged on the first slide rail 34; the limiting component includes a mounting frame 35 and a limit block 36 arranged on the mounting frame 35 for sliding up and down, and two limit holes 37 are provided on the limit block 36, and the two limit holes 37 extend from top to bottom to a side away from each other, and one end of the two clamping jaws 33 is respectively clamped in the two limit holes 37. Through the setting of the first slide rail 34, the movement of the two clamping jaws 33 is restricted and guided. In this way, when no external force is applied to the limit holes 37, under the elastic force of the compression spring arranged at the push rod 39 and the influence of gravity, the limit block 36 moves downward, causing the two clamping jaws 33 to move toward each other, so as to maintain the state of clamping the battery. In order to limit and guide the movement of the limit block 36, a second slide rail is provided on the mounting frame 35, and the second slide rail is arranged vertically. The limit block 36 is slidably set on the second slide rail.

[0050] refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the driving member includes a cylinder 38 arranged on the ring side of the second rotating table 32, and a push rod 39 is provided at the bottom end of the limit block 36, which passes through the disc 31. When the second rotating table 32 drives the disc 31 to rotate, multiple push rods 39 pass through the output end of the cylinder 38 in sequence. In this way, when the push rod 39 moves to the top of the cylinder 38, the cylinder 38 performs work, lifting the push rod 39 upward, causing the limit block 36 to move upward, and the two clamping claws 33 to move back to back, so that the battery is released.

[0051] refer to Figure 6As shown, the compacting mechanism 4 includes a plug 41 and a power assembly 42 for driving the plug 41 to perform lifting movements. The plug 41 is suspended above the ring side of the disc 31. When the disc 31 rotates, multiple battery processing stations pass directly under the plug 41 in sequence. In this way, when the battery with a resin ring placed on the end moves directly under the plug 41, the power assembly 42 drives the plug 41 to move downward to compact the resin ring and complete the installation of the resin ring.

[0052] Further optimization is that the battery unloading mechanism 5 can be composed of a transfer suction cup and a battery unloading track. The transfer suction cup absorbs the processed batteries and transfers them to the battery unloading track, and transports them to the next processing link through the battery unloading track.

[0053] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: during processing, the battery is transported to multiple battery processing stations in sequence through the battery loading track 2, and then the resin ring loading mechanism 1 places the resin ring on the battery end at the battery processing station, and then the resin ring at the battery end is compacted by the compacting mechanism 4 to fix the resin ring at the battery end, and finally the processed battery is unloaded through the battery unloading mechanism 5, thereby completing the processing of the battery resin ring. The degree of automation is high and the processing efficiency is improved.

[0054] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application, and the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. It is understood that other improvements and variations directly derived or imagined by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and concept of the present invention should be considered to be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
