[0035] Example 1
[0036] The present disclosure provides a battery labeling device, such as Figures 1 to 8As shown, it includes: an operating platform 1, the operating platform 1 has a supporting surface arranged in a horizontal direction; a feeding mechanism 2, the feeding mechanism 2 is arranged on the supporting surface, and has a storage space for storing unlabeled batteries, and one side of the storage space has a discharge end; a labeling mechanism 5, the labeling mechanism 5 is arranged on the supporting surface, and has a labeling station for labeling the surface of the battery, and the labeling station and the discharge end are arranged opposite to each other along a first direction; a first transmission mechanism 3, the first transmission mechanism 3 is arranged on the supporting surface, and includes a first linear drive module 301 arranged along the first direction, and the first linear drive module 301 is arranged between the labeling station and the discharge end. , the first transmission mechanism 3 is used to transmit the unlabeled batteries at the discharge end to the labeling station; and, the first transplanting mechanism 4, the first transplanting mechanism 4 is arranged on the supporting surface, the first transplanting mechanism 4 includes a second linear drive module 401 arranged along the second direction and located above the first linear drive module 301, the second direction is arranged perpendicular to the first direction, and the second linear drive module 401 is provided with a clamping part 402, the clamping part 402 is used to clamp the labeled battery, and the clamping part 402 can reciprocate along the second direction under the drive of the second linear drive module 401 to move the labeled battery out of the first transmission mechanism 3.
[0037] The operating platform 1 serves as the foundation of the entire device and can be a frame or a box structure, which provides a stable working environment and carries all components. The support surface is arranged horizontally to ensure the stability of the device operation. The loading mechanism 2 is located on the support surface and is used to store batteries waiting to be labeled. It has a storage space to accommodate the batteries, one side of which is the discharge end, from which the batteries enter the subsequent processing flow. The labeling mechanism 5 is also installed on the support surface and is provided with a labeling station. The labeling station and the discharge end are arranged on the same straight line along the first direction to facilitate the smooth movement of the battery from the storage position to the labeling position. The first transmission mechanism 3 is composed of a first linear drive module 301, which is arranged along the above-mentioned straight line between the discharge end and the labeling station, and can deliver the battery from the discharge end to the labeling station along the shortest path. As Figure 5 As shown, the first transfer mechanism 4 includes a second linear drive module 401 located above the first linear drive module 301, and the module is arranged along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The clamping portion 402 on the second linear drive module 401 can move along the second direction under the drive of the second linear drive module 401, thereby completing the task of taking out the labeled battery from the first transmission mechanism 3 and transferring it to a designated position.
[0038] The battery labeling device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure realizes the automated process of battery labeling through the collaborative operation of various mechanisms, greatly reduces the reliance on manual operation, and improves production efficiency. The first transmission mechanism 3 can quickly and accurately transport the battery from the discharge end to the labeling station, effectively reducing the waiting time of the battery during the transmission process. The first transfer mechanism 4 places the second linear drive module 401 on the first linear drive module 301, making full use of the vertical space, avoiding the lateral expansion of the equipment, and thus saving floor space. After the battery is labeled, the first transmission mechanism 3 moves in the opposite direction to remove the labeled battery from the labeling station. During this process, the clamping part 402 of the first transfer mechanism 4 can remove the battery from the first transmission mechanism 3 on the way back, and the first transmission mechanism 3 continues to move to the discharge end to prepare to receive the next battery to be labeled. Thereby optimizing the time interval of each step, significantly reducing the non-productive residence time of the battery on the conveyor belt, and greatly improving the overall labeling efficiency.
[0039] In some embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the battery labeling device also includes: a pressing roller mechanism 6, which is connected to the side of the first transplanting mechanism 4 facing the labeling mechanism 5 and is located directly above the first linear drive module 301. The pressing roller mechanism 6 includes a roller 601, and the roller 601 is used to roll the labeled battery; the clamping portion 402 is arranged on the side of the first transplanting mechanism 4 facing the feeding mechanism 2.
[0040] The roller mechanism 6 is installed on the side of the first transplanting mechanism 4 facing the labeling mechanism 5, and is located on the square of the first linear drive module 301. This position arrangement ensures that the battery is rolled immediately after the labeling operation is completed and before transplanting. The roller 601 in the roller mechanism 6 can be connected to the first transplanting mechanism 4 through a connecting member, such as a beam structure or a plate structure, and can rotate freely relative to the connecting member so as to compact the surface of the battery that has just been labeled to ensure that the label is firmly attached. The design of the roller mechanism 6 can be a standard structure, for example, it is connected to the first transplanting mechanism 4 through a lifting rod 602, and the lifting rod 602 is driven by a cylinder to adjust the height of the roller 601 so as to apply appropriate pressure to the battery surface without causing damage.
[0041] By integrating the roller mechanism 6 into the labeling device, the possible need for a separate label compaction step is avoided, making the labeling process more compact and efficient. On the other hand, the clamping portion 402 is located on the side of the first transplanting mechanism 4 facing the feeding mechanism 2, opposite to the roller mechanism 6. The clamping portion 402 is usually composed of a pair of L-shaped clamps driven by a clamping cylinder, which are arranged oppositely to each other for clamping the battery. After the battery is labeled and rolled, the clamping portion 402 can quickly remove the battery from the first transmission mechanism 3. This design greatly shortens the non-productive residence time of the battery on the conveyor belt, thereby significantly improving the overall labeling efficiency.
[0042] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the labeling mechanism 5 is located at the labeling station and is provided with a label separation plate 501 . The label separation plate 501 is located directly above the first linear drive module 301 . The label can be adhered to the unlabeled battery surface through the label separation plate 501 .
[0043] The labeling mechanism 5 can be of conventional design, including a labeling plate 501, which is located at the labeling station and directly above the first linear drive module 301, which means that a part of the first linear drive module 301 is directly below the labeling plate 501. When the unlabeled battery arrives at the labeling station through the first transmission mechanism 3 (i.e., the first linear drive module 301), the battery will be located below the labeling plate 501. In this process, as the first transmission mechanism 3 drives the battery to move in the reverse direction, the movement direction of the battery is consistent with the direction in which the label is released by the labeling mechanism 5, so that the battery surface gradually contacts the label on the labeling plate 501 until the label is completely adhered to the battery surface.
[0044] By controlling the movement of the first transmission mechanism 3 and the combination of the labeling plate 501 and the first linear drive module 301, the space utilization of the equipment is optimized, the labeling mechanism 5 is made more compact, and the battery does not need to be stopped during the labeling process. The continuous movement reduces the time required for labeling and improves production efficiency.
[0045] In some embodiments, the marking end of the marking plate 501 is arranged to be tilted downward relative to the vertical direction, and the roller 601 is arranged close to the marking end.
[0046] The labeling end of the labeling plate 501 is tilted downward, not in a horizontal state, and has a certain inclination angle, so that the label can slide down from the top. This tilted design allows the label to slide smoothly from the labeling plate 501, and then smoothly stick to the surface of the battery. The roller 601 is set close to the labeling end of the labeling plate 501, which means that the position of the roller 601 is when the label has just left the labeling plate 501 and is initially bonded to the surface of the battery. The function of the roller 601 is to help the label stick to the surface of the battery, ensuring that the label is more flat and free of bubbles. When the battery reaches the labeling station through the first transmission mechanism 3, the battery surface contacts the sliding label. During this process, the roller 601 applies pressure to the label to help the label fit tightly to the battery.
[0047] The coordinated use of the inclined labeling plate 501 and the roller 601 ensures that the label can be attached to the battery surface evenly and without bubbles, and improves the continuity and efficiency of labeling.
[0048] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the battery labeling device also includes: a second transmission mechanism 7, the second transmission mechanism 7 is arranged on the support surface, the second transmission mechanism 7 is arranged parallel to the first linear drive module 301, the input end of the second transmission mechanism 7 is arranged directly below one end of the second linear drive module 401, and the second transmission mechanism 7 is used to receive and transmit the labeled battery clamped by the clamping part 402.
[0049] The second transmission mechanism 7 is located on the support surface and is arranged in parallel with the first linear drive module 301. The second transmission mechanism 7 generally adopts a conventional structure in which a drive motor drives a transmission belt, and its input end is located directly below one end of the second linear drive module 401. When the clamping part 402 of the first transplanting mechanism 4 completes the battery labeling and takes it out of the first transmission mechanism 3, the labeled battery will be placed at the input end of the second transmission mechanism 7.
[0050] The second conveying mechanism 7 is used to receive and transfer the labeled battery clamped by the clamping part 402. Once the battery is placed at the input end, the second conveying mechanism 7 will continue to send it to the next process link, such as packaging or inspection station.
[0051] The introduction of the second transmission mechanism 7 enables the rapid transfer of the labeled batteries to the next process, preventing the batteries from being retained after labeling. The design of the second transmission mechanism 7 optimizes the handling process of the labeled batteries, ensures that the batteries are quickly removed, creates space for subsequent battery labeling, and thus improves the transmission efficiency.
[0052] In some embodiments, Figure 4As shown, the first transmission mechanism 3 also includes a first lifting module 304, which is connected to the operating platform 1 and is arranged below the supporting surface. The driving end 305 of the first lifting module 304 is used to drive the battery to reciprocate in the vertical direction;
[0053] The first linear drive module 301 includes a pair of first linear guide rails 302 arranged opposite to each other, a fixing portion 303 and a driving motor. The first linear guide rails 302 are arranged on the support surface along the first direction. The fixing portion 303 is slidably connected to the pair of first linear guide rails 302 respectively. The fixing portion 303 is used to fix the battery.
[0054] The first lifting module 304 and the fixing part 303 are respectively connected to the driving motor, and the driving motor can drive the first lifting module 304 and the fixing part 303 to reciprocate along the first direction.
[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, an opening 101 is provided on the support surface of the operating platform 1 along the first direction, and its length is determined according to the distance between the discharge end and the labeling station. On the support surfaces on both sides of the opening 101, a pair of first linear guides 302 are installed along the first direction, and a fixing portion 303 is connected to the first linear guide 302. The fixing portion 303 includes a bottom plate, and the bottom plate is surrounded by clamping blocks and clamping cylinders. The clamping blocks can be close to or separated from each other under the action of the clamping cylinder, thereby achieving clamping and fixing of the side of the battery. A through hole is provided on the bottom plate, and the first lifting module 304 can adopt a conventional structure driven by a lifting cylinder, which is located below the support surface of the operating platform 1 and connected to the operating platform 1.
[0056] In the operation process, the driving end 305 of the first lifting module 304 supports the battery through the opening 101 on the support surface of the operating platform 1 and the through hole on the bottom plate. By using the fine control of the lifting cylinder, the height of the battery can be fine-tuned to ensure that the height of the battery surface is consistent with that of the labeling mechanism 5, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the labeling process. In addition, the clamping block controlled by the clamping cylinder can be adjusted according to the specific size of the battery to ensure that the battery remains stable and stable during the labeling process. Subsequently, the drive motor synchronously drives the first lifting module 304, the fixing part 303 and the battery to move smoothly along the first direction.
[0057] Placing the first lifting module 304 below the support surface effectively utilizes the space and does not occupy the upper area of the operating platform 1, so that the equipment can play more functions in a limited space. The compact design reduces the footprint of the equipment, helps optimize the layout of the production line, and improves the efficiency of the use of the production workshop space.
[0058] In some embodiments, Figure 8As shown, the battery labeling device also includes: a second transplanting mechanism 8, which is arranged on the supporting surface, including a third linear drive module 801 and a second lifting module 802 arranged parallel to the first linear drive module 301; the second lifting module 802 is connected to the third linear drive module 801, and the third linear drive module 801 can drive the second lifting device to reciprocate along the first direction; the second lifting module 802 is located above the first linear drive module 301 in the vertical direction, and the second lifting module 802 is provided with an adsorption mechanism 803 on the side facing the first linear drive module 301, and the adsorption mechanism 803 can reciprocate along the vertical direction under the drive of the second lifting module 802, and the adsorption mechanism 803 is used to adsorb unlabeled batteries.
[0059] The second transplanting mechanism 8 is placed on the support surface, and is composed of a third linear drive module 801 parallel to the first linear drive module 301 and a second lifting module 802. The second lifting module 802 is connected to the third linear drive module 801, so that the second lifting module 802 can reciprocate along the first direction. The second lifting module 802 is located above the first linear drive module 301 in the vertical direction, and is equipped with an adsorption mechanism 803 on the side facing the first linear drive module 301. Driven by the second lifting module 802, the adsorption mechanism 803 can reciprocate along the vertical direction to adsorb unlabeled batteries. The third linear drive module 801 includes a second linear guide rail, which is arranged along the first direction and is located between the first transmission mechanism 3 and the second transmission structure. Its length is set according to the distance from the first lifting module 304 moving to the extreme position close to the discharge end to the discharge end, ensuring that the adsorption mechanism 803 can accurately move to the top of the discharge end and the top of the first lifting module 304, so as to achieve accurate transfer of batteries. The third linear drive module 801 , the second lifting module 802 and the adsorption mechanism 803 may adopt existing structures.
[0060] By introducing the second transfer mechanism 8, the unlabeled battery can be quickly and accurately moved to the driving end 305 of the first lifting module 304, and then the first transmission mechanism 3 pushes the battery to move toward the labeling mechanism 5, thereby improving the automation level of the production line. The second lifting module 802 is located above the first linear drive module 301, making full use of the vertical space, making the equipment layout more compact, and saving workshop space. The coordinated work of the second transfer mechanism 8 and the first linear drive module 301 realizes the continuous operation of the battery from receiving, labeling to removal, reduces the pauses in the production process, and significantly improves production efficiency.
[0061] In some embodiments, Figure 7As shown, the loading mechanism 2 includes a plurality of enclosures 201 arranged in a vertical direction, the plurality of enclosures 201 enclose a receiving space extending in the vertical direction, a plurality of unlabeled batteries can be stacked in the receiving space, and the receiving space is spaced apart from the discharge end by the enclosures 201; the loading mechanism 2 also includes a support platform 202 and a pushing portion 203, a plurality of enclosures 201 are arranged on the support platform 202, wherein a gap is formed between the bottom surface of the enclosure 201 located between the receiving space and the discharge end and the support platform 202, the pushing portion 203 is arranged on the support platform 202 and located at the bottom of the receiving space, and the pushing portion 203 can push the unlabeled batteries in the receiving space to the discharge end through the gap.
[0062] The feeding mechanism 2 is composed of three vertically arranged enclosures 201, which together enclose a rectangular accommodation space with one side of the space open for easy placement of batteries. In the accommodation space, unlabeled batteries can be stacked layer by layer. The design of the enclosure 201 allows the accommodation space to maintain a certain distance from the discharge end to prevent the batteries from tilting or falling to the discharge end when stacked. The feeding mechanism 2 also includes a support platform 202 and a pusher 203. The support platform 202 is located on the operating platform 1, and the enclosure 201 is fixed thereon. The pusher 203 is mounted on the support platform 202 and is located at the bottom of the accommodation space. A gap is provided between the bottom surface of the enclosure 201 between the accommodation space and the discharge end and the support platform 202. The pusher 203 can push the batteries at the bottom of the accommodation space through this gap at an appropriate time, and then deliver the batteries to the discharge end.
[0063] The pushing part 203 is composed of a push plate 206 and a driving cylinder 207. The push plate 206 is mounted on the support platform 202. The driving cylinder 207 is connected to the push plate 206 so that it can move along the support platform 202 from the accommodating space to the discharge end. The thickness of the push plate 206 matches the thickness of the battery. In the initial state, the push plate 206 is located on the side of the accommodating space away from the discharge end. When the battery needs to be sent out for labeling, the driving cylinder 207 is started to drive the push plate 206 to move toward the discharge end. The side of the push plate 206 pushes the battery at the bottom of the accommodating space so that it passes through the gap between the enclosure 201 and the support platform 202 and enters the discharge end. A plurality of limit blocks 205 are provided at the discharge end. These limit blocks 205 enclose an area larger than the volume of the battery to limit the displacement of the battery at the discharge end and ensure that the battery is completely exposed outside the accommodating space. Once the battery is pushed out of the accommodating space, the remaining battery is supported by the surface of the push plate 206. Subsequently, the driving cylinder 207 continues to drive the push plate 206 away from the discharge end until the push plate 206 is completely moved out of the accommodating space. In this process, due to the limitation of multiple enclosures 201, the remaining batteries remain in the accommodating space, waiting for the next push.
[0064] Through the control of the driving cylinder 207, the push plate 206 can push the batteries out of the accommodating space in sequence, realizing the orderly discharge of the batteries and facilitating the subsequent labeling operation. The movement of the push plate 206 enables the batteries in the accommodating space to be pushed out one by one, while the remaining batteries remain in place due to the restriction of the enclosure 201, which effectively utilizes the space and reduces the equipment footprint.
[0065] In some embodiments, the feeding mechanism 2 further includes a spacing adjustment block 204, which is slidably connected to the bottom surface of the enclosure 201 between the accommodating space and the discharge end, and the spacing adjustment block 204 is used to adjust the size of the spacing.
[0066] The spacing adjustment block 204 is installed on the bottom surface of the enclosure 201, and can be connected to the enclosure 201 through a guide rail or other sliding device, such as a roller 601, a sliding rod, etc., to ensure that the spacing adjustment block 204 moves smoothly and accurately. The operator can adjust the position of the spacing adjustment block 204 by manually rotating the screw, pulling the rod, or using an electric drive device according to the size and shape of the battery. The operator can adjust the spacing adjustment block 204 according to the thickness of the battery to ensure that the gap size is appropriate. Then, the pushing part 203 starts to push the bottom layer of batteries through the gap, while the remaining stacked batteries remain in place. By moving the spacing adjustment block 204, the gap between the enclosure 201 and the support table 202 can be increased or decreased, ensuring that during the pushing process of the battery, only the bottom layer of batteries can pass through the gap to reach the discharge end each time.
[0067] In some embodiments, the battery labeling device further includes a control device and a plurality of position sensors. The control device is the brain of the battery labeling device, which is responsible for receiving, processing signals and controlling the operation of the entire device. It includes a central processing unit (CPU), a memory, an input / output interface and other necessary electronic components. The control device controls the actions of various components, such as a drive motor, a lifting module, a push plate 206, etc., through a preset program or an operator's instructions. The position sensor may include a photoelectric sensor, a Hall effect sensor, a proximity sensor, a limit switch, etc. These sensors are distributed at various key positions of the battery labeling device, such as a labeling station, a discharge end, a push plate 206 position, etc. The sensor can detect the specific position of the battery or device component to ensure that each action is performed at the right time. When the sensor detects that the battery or component has reached a predetermined position, it sends a signal to the control device. The position sensor can also trigger an alarm or stop the device when the battery or component exceeds a safe range to prevent damage. The control device coordinates the work of each position sensor through programming to ensure the smooth progress of the battery labeling process, which helps to reduce downtime and improve production efficiency.
[0068] In some embodiments, the battery labeling device further includes a blowing device 9, which is disposed at the end of the first transmission mechanism 3 facing the labeling mechanism 5 and is located below the labeling plate 501. The blowing device 9 is located on the same straight line as the first linear guide rail 302 on the operating platform 1 to ensure that the airflow direction is consistent with the battery conveying direction. The air outlet of the blowing device 9 is disposed toward the first transmission mechanism 3, and the height of the air outlet matches the height of the battery on the first transmission mechanism 3 to ensure that the airflow can directly act on the battery surface.
[0069] The blowing device 9 may include components such as an air source (such as an air compressor), an air pipe and an air outlet. The air outlet may be designed to be a specific shape, such as a flat shape or a slit shape, to produce a directional and concentrated airflow to ensure the effective coverage of the airflow. The opening and closing of the blowing device 9 can be automatically controlled by a control system to ensure that the blowing action is started at the appropriate time. The activation of the blowing device 9 can be triggered by a sensor detecting that the battery has reached a specified position to ensure that the airflow acts on the battery surface at the right time. Before labeling, the dust and other tiny particles on the surface of the battery can be removed by the blowing device 9, which can improve the accuracy and firmness of the labeling and avoid the labeling effect being affected by impurities.
[0070] The battery labeling device provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure fully considers the space utilization, and through the reasonable layout of various components, such as the feeding mechanism 2, the labeling mechanism 5, the transplanting mechanism and the transmission mechanism, the overall structure is more compact and the floor space is reduced. The compact structural design reduces the non-productive residence time of the battery on the transmission line, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire production line.
