Description

Technical Field

[0002] During the production process of the battery cell module, it is necessary to fix a water cooling plate on one side of the battery cell module for water cooling of the battery cell module.

[0003] At present, most of the production processes are done by manually placing the water cooling plate on the battery module and then transporting it to the predetermined pressing station for operation. However, this method is inefficient, and because the water cooling plate and the battery module are not fixed after manual placement, they are prone to misalignment during transportation. Summary of the invention

[0004] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that in the prior art, the production process of the battery cell module is mostly carried out by manually placing the water cooling plate on the battery cell module, and then transporting it to the predetermined pressing station for operation. However, this method is inefficient, and because the water cooling plate and the battery cell module are not fixed after the water cooling plate is manually placed, it is easy to be misaligned during the transportation process.

[0005] To this end, the present invention provides a battery cell module assembly device, the battery cell module assembly device comprising a flip mechanism, and two sets of clamping mechanisms relatively arranged on the flip mechanism:

[0060] Example

[0061] The present embodiment provides a battery cell module assembly device, including a flipping mechanism 1 , two sets of clamping mechanisms 2 relatively arranged on the flipping mechanism 1 , a tidying mechanism 3 and a feeding mechanism 4 .

[0062] In this embodiment, the flipping mechanism 1 is configured to drive the two groups of clamping mechanisms 2 to flip so as to clamp the water-cooling plate and the battery cell module from the loading station respectively; any clamping mechanism 2 includes a translation drive component 21 and two groups of clamping plate assemblies 22, and the two groups of clamping plate assemblies 22 are relatively arranged at the driving end of the translation drive component 21, and the translation drive component 21 is configured to drive the two groups of clamping plate assemblies 22 to move closer to or away from each other; at least one group of clamping mechanisms 2 also includes a pressurizing component 23, the force-applying end of the pressurizing component 23 is transmission-connected to the clamping plate assembly 22, and is configured to apply the pressure required for assembly to the water-cooling plate or battery cell module clamped by the two groups of clamping mechanisms 2.

[0063] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, two sets of clamping mechanisms 2 are arranged in two layers on the flip mechanism 1. When the flip mechanism 1 rotates, the positions of the two sets of clamping mechanisms 2 can be interchanged, thereby realizing the water cooling plate and the battery module being clamped from the loading station by the two sets of clamping mechanisms 2. Figure 2 As shown, any clamping mechanism 2 includes a translation drive assembly 21 and two sets of clamping plate assemblies 22. By arranging the two sets of clamping plate assemblies 22 to be relatively arranged at the driving end of the translation drive assembly 21, when clamping the water cooling plate or the battery core module, the translation drive assembly 21 drives the two sets of clamping plate assemblies 22 to move closer to each other. When the assembled water cooling plate and the battery core module need to be loosened, the translation drive assembly 21 drives the two sets of clamping plate assemblies 22 to move away from each other. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, by setting a pressure component 23, and the force-applying end of the pressure component 23 is in transmission connection with the clamping plate component 22, after the clamping mechanism 2 completes the clamping of the water-cooled plate and the battery cell module, the pressure required for assembly is applied to the water-cooled plate or the battery cell module clamped by the clamping mechanism 2 by the pressure component 23, and the assembly of the water-cooled plate and the battery cell module is completed. This battery cell module assembly equipment does not require manual assembly of the water-cooled plate and the battery cell module, and has high work efficiency. In addition, by setting two sets of clamping mechanisms 2 to clamp the water-cooled plate and the battery cell module, the clamping accuracy of the water-cooled plate and the battery cell module is high, which prevents the water-cooled plate and the battery cell module from being easily misaligned during manual transportation.

[0064] In this embodiment, any clamping plate assembly 22 includes a mounting rod 221 and multiple groups of clamping members 222 connected to the clamping side of the mounting rod 221. The mounting rod 221 is connected to the driving end of the translation drive assembly 21 and is driven by the translation drive assembly 21 to drive the multiple groups of clamping members 222 to move synchronously.

[0065] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the clamping plate assembly 22 includes a mounting rod 221 and a plurality of clamping members 222 connected to the clamping side of the mounting rod 221. The mounting rod 221 is connected to the driving end of the translation drive assembly 21 and is driven by the translation drive assembly 21 to move closer to or away from each other. By connecting a plurality of clamping members 222 to the clamping side of the mounting rod 221, when the mounting rods 221 are close to each other, the clamping members 222 on the two mounting rods 221 cooperate with each other to clamp the water cooling plate or the battery cell module.

[0066] In this embodiment, any clamping member 222 includes a hook, a fixed end of the hook is fixedly connected to the mounting rod 221, and a lifting end of the hook extends in a horizontal direction.

[0067] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, by setting the lifting end of the hook to extend in the horizontal direction, when the mounting rods 221 are close to each other, the lifting ends of the hooks on the two mounting rods 221 can abut against the bottom side of the water cooling plate or the battery cell module, thereby achieving the lifting and clamping of the water cooling plate or the battery cell module.

[0068] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the pressurizing assembly 23 includes a pressing member and a biasing member 231. The pressing member is slidably mounted on the mounting rod 221. The biasing member 231 is arranged between the pressing member and the mounting rod 221. The biasing member 231 is used to drive the pressing member to move away from the mounting rod 221 to apply pressure to the water-cooling plate and the battery cell module clamped by the clamping mechanism 2.

[0069] By setting a pressing member and a biasing member 231, after the water-cooling plate and the battery cell module are clamped, the water-cooling plate and the battery cell module are fitted together, and then the pressing member is driven to move away from the mounting rod 221 to apply pressure to the water-cooling plate and the battery cell module clamped by the clamping mechanism 2, thereby achieving the assembly of the water-cooling plate and the battery cell module. Among them, the pressurizing component 23 can be set on the clamping mechanism 2 on the side of the water-cooling plate. During the working process, the water-cooling plate is first clamped, and then the battery cell module is clamped after rotation by the flipping mechanism 1. During the clamping of the battery cell module, after the battery cell module abuts the water-cooling plate, the battery cell module can continue to move upward to push the water-cooling plate to separate from the lifting end of the hook on its lower side, so as to provide space for the extrusion of the pressurizing component 23. Of course, the pressure component 23 can also be set on the clamping mechanism 2 on the battery cell module side, or the pressure component 23 can be set on both clamping mechanisms 2. It is only necessary to ensure that when the pressure component 23 applies pressure to the water cooling plate or the battery cell module, the water cooling plate or the battery cell module has space to move to the other side.

[0070] In this embodiment, the pressurizing assembly 23 further includes a reset member 232 , which is disposed between the pressing member and the mounting rod 221 . The reset member 232 is used to drive the pressing member to move closer to the mounting rod 221 to drive the pressing member to reset.

[0071] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, by setting a reset member 232 between the pressing member and the mounting rod 221, after the pressing member loses the force of the biasing member 231, the reset member 232 can drive the pressing member to move toward the mounting rod 221, so that the pressing member is separated from the water cooling plate or the battery cell module.

[0072] Specifically, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the pressing member includes a pressing plate 233 and a guide shaft 234, and the biasing member 231 includes a pressing airbag and an airbag fixing seat; the guide shaft 234 is slidably mounted on the mounting rod 221, the pressing plate 233 is fixedly mounted on the first end of the guide shaft 234, and a reset member 232 is sleeved between the second end of the guide shaft 234 and the mounting rod 221; the pressing airbag is mounted on the mounting rod 221 through the airbag fixing seat, the force-applying end of the pressing airbag abuts against the pressing plate 233, and the air inlet end of the pressing airbag is connected to an external air source. Among them, the reset member 232 can be a spring.

[0073] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the flip mechanism 1 includes a flip drive assembly 11 and a flip frame 12. The flip frame 12 is transmission-connected to the flip drive assembly 11 and is driven by the flip drive assembly 11 to rotate around a rotation axis. Two sets of clamping mechanisms 2 are connected to the flip frame 12 and are disposed on opposite sides of the flip frame 12.

[0074] Specifically, the flip driving assembly 11 can be a motor and a control module of the motor, which can adopt the existing technology. The flip frame 12 is connected to the motor driving end and flipped by the force of the motor.

[0075] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the battery cell module assembly equipment also includes a regularization mechanism 3, the fixed end of the regularization mechanism 3 is fixedly connected to the flip frame 12, and the movable end of the regularization mechanism 3 is configured to regularize the position of the water cooling plate and the battery cell module between the two clamping mechanisms 2.

[0076] In this embodiment, if Figures 5 to 7As shown, the regularization mechanism 3 includes two groups of push mechanisms 31 with the same structure and arranged opposite to each other, a regularization space is formed between the two groups of push mechanisms 31, and both ends of the push mechanisms 31 are slidably mounted on the flip frame 12; driving mechanisms 32 are respectively arranged corresponding to the two groups of push mechanisms 31, and each group of driving mechanisms 32 includes a mounting member 321, a driving member 322, a plurality of abutting components 323 and a plurality of pressing members 324, both ends of the mounting member 321 are fixedly mounted on the flip frame 12, the fixed end of the driving member 322 is fixedly mounted on the mounting member 321, and all the abutting components 323 are sequentially mounted on the flip frame 12. The abutment component 323 is connected to the driving end of the driving member 322, and all the abutment components 324 are arranged at intervals on the pushing mechanism 31, and are arranged one by one with all the abutment components 323. Any abutment component 324 has an inclined abutment end, and any abutment end is abutted against an abutment component 323. When the driving member 322 drives the abutment component 323 to move, the abutment component 323 pushes the abutment component 324 to drive the pushing mechanism 31 to move, and makes the two groups of pushing mechanisms 31 approach each other to fix and organize the water cooling plate and the battery cell module.

[0077] By setting two groups of pushing mechanisms 31 and driving structures respectively corresponding to the two groups of pushing mechanisms 31, the two groups of pushing mechanisms 31 have the same structure and are arranged relatively to each other, and a regular space is formed between the two groups of pushing mechanisms 31, and the water-cooled plate and the battery cell module can be placed in the regular space, so that under the action of external force, when the two groups of pushing mechanisms 31 are close to each other, the two groups of pushing mechanisms 31 can simultaneously regularize the water-cooled plate and the battery cell module placed in the regular space, so that the water-cooled plate and the battery cell module can be aligned, and when the two groups of pushing mechanisms 31 are away from each other, the water-cooled plate and the battery cell module placed in the regular space can be transported away, and each group of driving mechanisms 32 specifically includes a mounting part 321, a driving part 322, a plurality of abutment components 323 and some The dry pressure piece 324, the mounting piece 321, the driving piece 322 and the pressure piece 324 are respectively a mounting block, a driving cylinder and a pressure block in this embodiment, wherein both ends of the mounting piece 321 are fixedly mounted on the flip frame 12, and the fixed end of the driving piece 322 is arranged on the mounting piece 321, all the abutment components 323 are sequentially transmission-connected, and at least one abutment component 323 is connected to the driving end of the driving piece 322, so that all the abutment components 323 can move under the drive of the driving piece 322, and at the same time, all the pressure pieces 324 are arranged at intervals on the pushing mechanism 31, and each pressure piece 324 has an inclined pressure end, and each pressure end is abutted against a corresponding abutment component 323.

[0078] When the driving member 322 drives the abutment assembly 323 to move, the abutment assembly 323 can move along the abutting end and drive the abutment member 324 to move, and the abutment member 324 can drive the pushing mechanism 31 to move, so that the two relatively arranged pushing mechanisms 31 can approach or move away from each other, and when approaching each other, they are regularly transported to the water-cooled plate and the battery cell module in the regular space, and all the abutment assemblies 323 are driven to move by the driving member 322, and all the abutment members 324 drive the pushing mechanism 31 to move, so that the moving distance of each abutment assembly 323 is consistent, and the moving distance driven by the abutment assembly 323 to drive the abutment member 324 is also consistent, so that the overall moving trajectory of the pushing mechanism 31 is consistent, thereby avoiding the situation that the overall moving trajectory of the pushing mechanism 31 cannot be consistent, and is beneficial to improving the regularizing effect of the regularizing device on the water-cooled plate and the battery cell module.

[0079] In this embodiment, the pushing mechanism 31 includes a pushing member 311, a contact member 312 and two groups of regular components 313. The two ends of the pushing member 311 are slidably installed on the flip frame 12, and the contact member 312 is fixedly installed on the side of the pushing member 311. A regular space is formed between the two contact members 312 arranged opposite to each other in the two groups of pushing mechanisms 31; the fixed end of the regular component 313 is installed on the pushing member 311, and the two groups of regular components 313 are respectively arranged on both sides of the contact member 312.

[0080] like Figures 7 to 9 As shown, each pushing mechanism 31 includes a pushing member 311 and a contact member 312 connected to each other. The pushing member 311 and the contact member 312 are respectively a pushing block and an insulating pressure plate in the present embodiment, wherein the two ends of the pushing member 311 are respectively slidably connected to the flip frame 12, thereby realizing a sliding connection on the flip frame 12, and the contact member 312 is fixedly installed on the side of the pushing member 311, and a regular space is formed between the two contact members 312 arranged opposite to each other on the two groups of pushing mechanisms 31, when the two oppositely arranged pushing members 311 approach each other, the contact member 312 will be driven by the pushing member 311 to contact the workpiece in the regular space, and the water-cooled plate and the battery cell module will be regularized under the continuous push of the pushing member 311, and since the contact member 312 is an insulating pressure plate, the contact member 312 will not affect the performance of the water-cooled plate and the battery cell module. By setting the pushing mechanism 31, it also includes two tidying components 313. The fixed end of each tidying component 313 is installed on the pushing member 311, and the two tidying components 313 are respectively arranged on both sides of the contact member 312. Therefore, when the pushing member 311 tidy the battery cell module through the contact member 312, the tidying component 313 can tidy the water cooling plate on the battery cell module and make the positions of the water cooling plate and the battery cell module correspond to each other.

[0081] In this embodiment, the structuring component 313 includes a base 3131, a structuring piece 3132 and a buffer piece 3133. The base 3131 is set on the push piece 311, the structuring piece 3132 is rotatably set on the base 3131, the buffer piece 3133 has a buffering elastic force, and the buffer piece 3133 is set between the base 3131 and the structuring piece 3132.

[0082] like Fig.10 As shown, by setting the regularization component 313 including the base 3131, the regularization piece 3132 and the buffer piece 3133, the regularization piece 3132 and the buffer piece 3133 in this embodiment are respectively a regularization roller and a buffer spring, wherein the base 3131 is arranged on the push piece 311, and the regularization piece 3132 is rotatably arranged on the base 3131, and the buffer piece 3133 has a buffering elastic force and is arranged between the base 3131 and the regularization piece 3132, so that when the two relatively arranged push pieces 311 regularize the battery module, the regularization piece 3132 can abut against the side of the water-cooling plate, thereby regularizing the water-cooling plate, and because the regularization piece 3132 and the base 31 31 is a rotational connection and the workpiece is moved in the regular space, so that when the two side surfaces of the water-cooling plate do not correspond to the positions of the regular pieces 3132 on the two push members 311, the regular pieces 3132 can rotate relative to the base 3131 when contacting the side surfaces of the water-cooling plate, so that the two side surfaces of the water-cooling plate can correspond to the positions of the regular pieces 3132 on the two push members 311, and then the regular pieces 3132 are reset by the buffering elastic force provided by the buffer piece 3133, so that the regular pieces 3132 can regularize the water-cooling plate and make the positions of the water-cooling plate and the battery cell module correspond to each other, so as to complete the flexible regularization of the water-cooling plate.

[0083] In this embodiment, the two buffer members 3133 on any one of the pushing members 311 have different buffer elastic forces, and the buffer members 3133 on the same side of the two groups of pushing members 311 have the same buffer elastic forces.

[0084] The two buffer members 3133 on each push member 311 have different buffer spring forces and the buffer members 3133 on the same side of the two groups of push members 311 have the same buffer spring forces. This is because the workpiece is in a moving state in the regularized space. Therefore, the buffer members 3133 on the same side of the two groups of push members 311 have the same buffer spring forces to ensure that when the regularizing member 3132 is regularizing the water-cooling plate, the forces on the two side surfaces of the water-cooling plate are the same, which is beneficial to improving the regularization effect of the water-cooling plate. The two buffer members 3133 on each push member 311 have different buffer spring forces because the water-cooling plate has been preliminarily regularized by the regularizing members 3132 on the same side of the two groups of push members 311. Therefore, the remaining regularizing member 3132 on the push member 311 does not need a particularly large buffer spring force to regularize the water-cooling plate to avoid damaging the water-cooling plate.

[0085] In this embodiment, if Figure 7 As shown, each abutment assembly 323 includes a first guide rail 3231 and an abutment member 3232, and the abutment member 3232 in the present embodiment is an abutment roller, wherein the first guide rail 3231 is arranged on the mounting member 321, and the abutment member 3232 is slidably arranged on the first guide rail 3231, and the abutment member 3232 abuts against the abutment end of the abutment member 324 on the abutment mechanism 31, and in addition, there is an abutment member 3232 of all abutment assemblies 323 connected to the driving end of the driving member 322, so that under the drive of the driving member 322, the abutment member 3232 can slide on the first guide rail 3231 and move along the abutment end of the abutment member 324, thereby driving the abutment member 324 to move, and then the abutment member 324 drives the abutment mechanism 31 to move, so that the two relatively arranged abutment mechanisms 31 can approach or move away from each other. The abutment assembly 323 also includes a plurality of connecting members 3233, which are connecting rods in the present embodiment. Each connecting member 3233 is arranged between two adjacent abutment members 3232, and both ends of each connecting member 3233 are respectively connected to an abutment member 3232, so that when the driving member 322 drives the abutment member 3232 connected thereto to move, the connecting member 3233 can drive all the abutment members 3232 to move synchronously, thereby enabling all the pressing members 324 to move simultaneously, so that the overall moving trajectory of the pushing mechanism 31 remains consistent.

[0086] In this embodiment, if Figure 8As shown, a plurality of reset mechanisms 33 are provided on the flip frame 12, and the reset mechanisms 33 have reset elastic force, and a reset mechanism 33 is correspondingly connected to the two ends of each pushing mechanism 31, so that after the two groups of relatively arranged pushing mechanisms 31 are close to each other and regularize the workpieces in the space, the reset mechanisms 33 can drive the two groups of relatively arranged pushing mechanisms 31 away from each other through the reset elastic force, and then reset the relatively arranged pushing mechanisms 31 to regularize the next batch of workpieces.

[0087] The reset mechanism 33 includes a reset component 331 . The reset component 331 has a reset elastic force and is disposed between the flip frame 12 and the push mechanism 31 .

[0088] In this embodiment, two detection members 34 are provided on each mounting member 321, and the two detection members 34 are respectively provided at both ends of the mounting member 321, and the detection members 34 on the two relatively arranged mounting members 321 are provided one by one, so that when the workpiece enters the regular space, the detection member 34 can detect the workpiece, and then the pushing mechanism 31 can regularize the workpiece.

[0089] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the battery cell module assembly equipment also includes a material conveying device, the clamping mechanism 2 is located on the conveying track of the material conveying device, the material conveying device is configured to convey the water-cooling plate and the battery cell module to the loading station, and the material conveying device is also configured to convey the water-cooling plate and the battery cell module assembled by the pressure-applying component 23 to the next station.

[0090] Specifically, Figure 1 , Fig.11 , Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, the material conveying device includes a loading mechanism 4, which includes a conveying member 42 and a positioning conveying assembly 43. The conveying member 42 is suitable for carrying a water-cooled plate and a battery cell module. The positioning conveying assembly 43 includes a guide member 431, a power member 432 and a fixing member 433; the guide member 431 is arranged along the conveying direction of the conveying member 42, the fixing member 433 is slidably arranged with the guide member 431, and the power member 432 is transmission-connected with the fixing member 433; the fixing member 433 is suitable for fixing or loosening the water-cooled plate or the battery cell module, and the fixing member 433 is driven by the power member 432 to drive the water-cooled plate or the battery cell module to move along the conveying direction on the conveying member 42.

[0091] When transporting the part to be transported, the water-cooled plate or battery cell module is placed on the conveying member 42, specifically, it is set at the front end of the part to be transported, and then the water-cooled plate or battery cell module can be fixed by the fixing member 433 at the front end of the part to be transported, and then the fixing member 433 is driven by the power member 432 to move along the guide member 431 toward the rear end of the conveying member 42, until the water-cooled plate or battery cell module is transported to the set position and the fixing member 433 releases the water-cooled plate or battery cell module. By setting the fixing member 433 to fix the water-cooled plate or battery cell module and drive the part to be transported to move, it can be avoided that when the weight of the water-cooled plate or battery cell module is relatively large, the water-cooled plate or battery cell module and the conveying member 42 are prone to slipping, resulting in slow start of transportation and failure to stop in time after transportation is in place, resulting in reduced transportation efficiency and transportation accuracy of the conveying device.

[0092] In this embodiment, the material conveying device also includes a lifting mechanism, which is arranged at the end of the conveying member 42; the lifting mechanism is configured to receive the water-cooled plate or battery cell module conveyed by the positioning and conveying component 43 and drive the water-cooled plate or battery cell module to move to the loading station; the lifting mechanism is also configured to receive the assembled water-cooled plate and battery cell module for reception by the positioning and conveying component 43.

[0093] Specifically, Fig.14 As shown, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting drive member (not shown in the figure), a lifting plate 44 and a second positioning member 45. The second positioning member 45 is fixedly mounted on the lifting plate 44. A second positioning hole is provided on the support plate at the bottom of the water-cooled plate or the battery cell module. The second positioning member 45 cooperates with the second positioning hole to limit the water-cooled plate or the battery cell module. The driving end of the lifting drive member is transmission-connected to the lifting plate 44. The lifting drive member is configured to drive the lifting plate 44 and the limited water-cooled plate or battery cell module to lift and lower.

[0094] By setting a second positioning member 45 on the lifting plate 44, after the water-cooled plate or the battery module is sent to the lifting plate 44, the second positioning member 45 is inserted into the second positioning hole to limit the water-cooled plate or the battery module, so as to ensure that the water-cooled plate or the battery module enters the next process in the correct posture. Optionally, the second positioning member 45 can be a positioning pin or other positioning member; the lifting plate 44 is lifted and lowered by the cooperation between the motor and the transmission chain, or the lifting drive member is a driving device such as a cylinder.

[0095] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism also includes a plurality of sets of universal wheels, which are installed on the lifting plate 44 along the conveying direction to facilitate the movement of the water cooling plate or the battery cell module on the lifting plate 44.

[0096] In this embodiment, the positioning and conveying components 43 and the conveying member 42 are matched and arranged at opposite ends of the water-cooling plate or the battery cell module, and the two sets of positioning and conveying components 43 and the conveying member 42 are synchronously cooperated to convey the same water-cooling plate or the battery cell module. For example, the conveying member 42 on the right side is used to convey the water-cooling plate or the battery cell module toward the lifting mechanism, and after the lifting mechanism sends the water-cooling plate or the battery cell module to the processing station for processing, the conveying member 42 on the left side is used to send the processed water-cooling plate and the battery cell module out of the lifting mechanism.

[0097] In other embodiments, the base frame 41, the conveying member 42 and the positioning and conveying assembly 43 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lifting mechanism, and the conveying members 42 on both sides cooperate with the corresponding positioning and conveying assemblies 43 to convey the objects to be conveyed to the lifting mechanism respectively. Optionally, the objects to be conveyed conveyed by the conveying members 42 on both sides can be different materials.

[0098] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the invention.
