Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bottle inserting equipment, in particular to a fully automatic bottle inserting equipment. Background Art

[0002] In the production process of batteries, the bottle insertion process after adding acid and before charging and formation is a key step to ensure the uniform chemical reaction inside the battery. The traditional bottle insertion method usually adopts semi-automatic operation. The specific process is that the operator manually puts the formation bottle into the machine tooling, and then the bottle insertion machine automatically takes out the formation bottle from the tooling and inserts it into the battery. Although this method improves efficiency to a certain extent compared with full manual operation, it still has many shortcomings.

[0003] Firstly, the intervention of manual operation increases the labor intensity, and due to human factors, it is easy to cause inaccurate bottle placement, thus affecting subsequent automated operations. In addition, the speed and stability of manual operation are affected by the operator's proficiency, and production efficiency and product consistency are difficult to guarantee. With the increasing automation requirements of battery production lines, the traditional semi-automatic bottle insertion method can no longer meet the large-scale, high-efficiency and high-precision production needs.

[0074] This application proposes a fully automatic bottle inserting device, which is specifically:

[0075] For reference Figure 1The present application is composed of three parts: a feeding mechanism 1, a bottle inserting mechanism 2 and a battery conveying mechanism 3. The output port of the feeding mechanism 1 corresponds to the receiving port of the bottle inserting mechanism 2. The bottle inserting mechanism 2 receives the conveyed formation bottle, and after processing, conveys it to the battery conveying mechanism 3 located at the lower side of the bottle inserting mechanism 2. The formation bottle is inserted into the battery to complete the automatic bottle insertion setting. The overall process is controlled by a PCL system to realize the automatic control movement of each group of mechanisms. The automatic system control is a relatively mature technology available, and this application will not go into details.

[0076] For reference Figure 2-3 , wherein the feeding mechanism 1 is used to transport the formation bottles and provide the formation bottles to the bottle inserting mechanism 2; wherein the feeding mechanism 1 mainly includes a tipping machine 11, an elevator 12, a first material distribution chute 13, a horizontal conveying line 14 and a second material distribution chute 15;

[0077] The tipping machine 11 is used to flip the trolley carrying the chemical bottle, and flip the trolley carrying the chemical bottle into the elevator 12 arranged on one side of the flipping direction of the tipping machine 11, so that the chemical bottle is transported through the movement line of the elevator 12, and in order to better receive the chemical bottle poured by the tipping machine 11 at the bottom of the elevator 12, a storage hopper is arranged at the bottom of the elevator 12, and the diameter of the storage hopper is larger than the diameter of the chemical bottle trolley, thereby reducing the situation of falling outward when pouring. The chemical bottle is transported upward by the movement of the elevator 12, and a first material distribution chute 13 is arranged at the end of the outlet of the elevator 12, so as to receive the chemical bottle, and fall into the bottle insertion mechanism 2 through the first material distribution chute 13, and do the next step of processing.

[0078] Furthermore, an adaptive guardrail 101 and a high platform 102 are provided on the outside of the feeding mechanism 1. The guardrail 101 is used to maintain the tipper 11 and the elevator 12, and the high platform 102 is used to support the horizontal conveyor line 14, and it is also convenient for workers to go up for inspection during maintenance.

[0079] Among them, in order to realize the conveying of the chemical bottles to the two bottle insertion mechanisms 2 by a lifting machine 12, a baffle is arranged inside the first material distribution chute 13, and a cylinder is arranged on the baffle for control. When the chemical bottles need to be output through the first material distribution chute 13, the baffle is vertically arranged on one side of the first material distribution chute 13 by setting the cylinder on the baffle. When it is necessary to output the chemical bottles to the second bottle insertion mechanism 2 again, the baffle is tilted by the cylinder on the baffle. When the baffle is tilted, the hollow position in the middle of the first material distribution chute 13 is blocked, and the chemical bottles no longer pass through the first material distribution chute 13. The chute 13 does not fall downward, but falls along the oblique direction of the baffle onto the horizontal conveyor line 14 located at the lower side of the elevator 12. Because the baffle will exceed the edge line of the first material distribution chute 13 when it is tilted, the baffle will be located on the upper side of the horizontal conveyor line 14, and will not cause the chemical bottle to fall into the gap between the first material distribution chute 13 and the horizontal conveyor line 14. In order to reduce the situation where the chemical bottle falls outside the horizontal conveyor line 14 due to excessive accumulation or rebound when it falls on the horizontal conveyor line 14, a shielding frame is set at the horizontal conveyor line 14 where the fallen chemical bottle is received (see Figure 3 ), shielding the formation bottles above the height of the protection on both sides of the horizontal conveyor line 14, reducing the risk of falling outward, and ensuring stable transportation of the formation bottles; and the horizontal conveyor line 14 receives the fallen formation bottles for horizontal transportation, and a second material distribution chute 15 is provided at the end of the horizontal conveyor line 14 for receiving the formation bottles, so the formation bottles transported by the horizontal conveyor line 14 will enter another group of bottle insertion mechanisms 2 through the second material distribution chute 15.

[0080] For reference Figure 4-11 The bottle inserting mechanism 2 is used to organize the chemical bottles in the feeding mechanism 1. At the same time, in different embodiments, the position and number of the bottle inserting mechanism 2 are determined according to the setting of the feeding mechanism 1. The number of the bottle inserting mechanism 2 is not limited, as long as it corresponds to the number of the discharge ports of the feeding mechanism 1.

[0081] Further explanation, the outer side of the bottle inserting mechanism 2 is provided with a support frame 201 for protecting and fixing the internal structure. The support frame 201 serves as a connection and fixing support between multiple internal structures, and also serves as a protective effect.

[0082] Among them, the bottle insertion mechanism 2 is mainly composed of a bottle unscrambling and vibrating mechanism 21, a bottle discharging mechanism 22, a bottle feeding mechanism 23 and an actuator 24. The bottle unscrambling and vibrating mechanism 21 is arranged at the lower side of the discharge port of the feeding mechanism 1, and the bottle discharging mechanism 22 is arranged at the lower side of the bottle unscrambling and vibrating mechanism 21, and receives the formation bottles dropped by the bottle unscrambling and vibrating mechanism 21 to perform linear reciprocating motion. The bottle feeding mechanism 23 is arranged at the lower side of the bottle discharging mechanism 22 to rotate and transport the formation bottles in a horizontal direction, and the actuator 24 is arranged on the upper side to grab the formation bottles and insert them into the batteries on the battery conveying mechanism 3.

[0083] For further reference Figure 6 The bottle unscrambling vibration mechanism 21 includes a vibration plate 211, a conveying channel 212, a rejection component 213 and a bottle separator 214. The vibration plate 211 is arranged at the discharge end of the feeding mechanism 1, and is used to separate the formation bottles in one direction. The output end of the vibration plate 211 is connected to the conveying channel 212 to assist in conveying the separated formation bottles outward. The rejection component 213 is arranged in the middle of the conveying channel 212, and the formation bottles with abnormalities can be rejected and finally enter the bottle separator 214 arranged at the end of the conveying channel 212 for individual separation. The bottle separator 214 is fixedly installed on the support frame 201.

[0084] It should be noted that the vibration plate 211 is an existing mature technology and will not be described in detail herein. The conveying channel 212 is a design that continues the output end of the vibration plate 211. During the conveying channel 212, the servo motor is driven, and the servo motor is controlled by the PLC to orderly control the movement of the conveying channel 212, so that the chemical bottles are orderly conveyed to the bottle separator 214. During the conveying process, the rejection component 213 is composed of a visual sensor, a pneumatic nozzle and a rejection slide (for details, please refer to Figure 7 ), the visual sensor and the pneumatic nozzle are arranged on one side of the conveying channel 212, and the rejection slide is arranged on the opposite side of the pneumatic nozzle on the conveying channel 212. When the conveying channel 212 is working, the visual sensor starts to work and transmits the detection signal to the PLC. If an abnormality is detected, the PLC will send a signal to control the pneumatic nozzle. At this time, the pneumatic nozzle is opened to blow the formed bottle into the rejection slide.

[0085] For reference Figure 8 After the formation bottles pass through the bottle unscrambling vibration mechanism 21, they enter the bottle discharging mechanism 22 for typesetting. The bottle discharging mechanism 22 includes a linear reciprocating component 221 and a bottle discharging module 222. The linear reciprocating component 221 is arranged at the lower side of the bottle separator 214, and sequentially receives the formation bottles separated individually by the bottle separator 214. When receiving the formation bottles, the movement range and work of the linear reciprocating component 221 are controlled, so that the bottle discharging module 222 connected to the slider of the linear reciprocating component 221 is prompted to fully receive the formation bottles during the movement. The movement range and pause are determined according to the size of the bottle discharging module 222 and the number of single-time acceptance.

[0086] The bottle row module 222 needs to transfer the formation bottle to the bottle delivery mechanism 23 later, and its bottom needs to be hollowed out. If the bottom of the bottle row module 222 is hollowed out, it will not have the support force to transfer to the bottle delivery mechanism 23. To avoid this problem, a baffle is provided at the bottom of the bottle row module 222, and the baffle is driven by the cylinder to work (for details, please refer to Fig. 9 ), when it moves to the bottle feeding mechanism 23, the cylinder works to discharge the formed bottle into the bottle feeding mechanism 23.

[0087] It should be noted that the linear reciprocating assembly 221 is located at the bottom of the bottle distributor 214 and is fixedly mounted on the support frame 201 to form an overall stable support, and the linear reciprocating assembly 221 is an existing common linear reciprocating drive device, which will not be described in detail in this application.

[0088] For reference Fig.10 The bottle feeding mechanism 23 receives the chemical bottles arranged in a row from the bottle row module 222, and the bottle feeding mechanism 23 transfers the entire row of chemical bottles to the other side for the actuator 24 to grab through the rotation work. The bottle feeding mechanism 23 is mainly composed of a mounting bracket 231, a rotating motor 232, a rotating station shaft 233 and a positioning module 234. The mounting bracket 231 is located at the lower side of the linear reciprocating component 221 and is fixedly installed on the support frame 201 to form the overall supporting main force. The rotating motor 232 is installed on the mounting bracket 231. On the top, the same supporting force is given to the rotating motor 232 by installing the bracket 231, and the middle part of the rotating station shaft 233 is connected to the output shaft of the rotating motor 232, so that the rotating station shaft 233 is driven to work by the rotating motor 232. In order to better receive the formation bottle, a group of positioning modules 234 are set at the edges of both sides of the rotating station shaft 233. When the positioning module 234 and the bottle discharge module 222 are in the upper and lower positions, the hole positions for receiving the formation bottle between the two structures correspond.

[0089] Therefore, when a positioning module 234 at one place receives a formation bottle sent by the bottle arranging module 222, the rotating motor 232 starts to work, rotates the positioning module 234 on the other side that does not receive a formation bottle, and waits again to receive the formation bottle sent by the bottle arranging module 222, repeating the movement work in sequence to realize the bottle sending work.

[0090] For reference Fig.11 After the positioning module 234 is transferred to the grabbing position, the grabbing work is realized through the actuator 24, and after grabbing, it is inserted into the battery transported by the battery conveying mechanism 3 to complete the work.

[0091] The actuator 24 mainly includes a support frame 241, a pneumatic clamp group 242, an x-axis actuator group 243 and a z-axis actuator group 244; the support frame 241 plays the role of stabilizing the connection of the actuator 24 as a whole, and sliding shafts 2411 are provided on both sides of the support frame 241, and both ends of the sliding shaft 2411 are fixedly connected to the support frame 201, wherein the sliding shaft 2411 includes a lubrication block 2401 and a linear rod 2402. The lubrication block 2401 is arranged at both sides of the support frame 241 for positioning and fixing, and the linear rod 2402 is inserted in the lubrication block 2401, and plugs are provided at both ends of the linear rod 2402 for preventing it from slipping from the lubrication block 2401. When the x-axis actuator group 243 fixedly connected to the support frame 201 is working, the support frame 241 is pushed along the x-axis. The pneumatic clamp group 242 is arranged on the lower side of the support frame 241 for grasping, and the pneumatic clamp group 242 is connected to the output shaft of the z-axis execution group 244 fixedly connected in the support frame 241, and the pneumatic clamp group 242 moves through the z-axis execution group 244, driving the pneumatic clamp group 242 to make linear reciprocating motion in the z-axis direction, wherein, in order to maintain the stability of the movement in the z-axis direction, round rods 2403 are arranged on both sides of the upper surface of the pneumatic clamp group 242, and the round rods 2403 extend upward and are inserted in the support frame 241, and exceed a part of the support frame 241, so that when the z-axis is working, the round rods 2403 can effectively control the stability of the movement.

[0092] For reference Fig.14 It should be noted that the pneumatic clamp group 242 is composed of a clamping shaft 2421, a bottle pressing cylinder 2422 and a bottle clamping cylinder 2423. The bottle pressing cylinder 2422 is arranged at the top of the clamping shaft 2421, and the output end corresponds to the positioning groove provided on the clamping shaft 2421, which is used to prevent the formation bottle from being stuck in the positioning groove. The bottle clamping cylinder 2423 is arranged on the side of the clamping shaft 2421, and is used to clamp the bottle cylinder to clamp the formation bottle to prevent it from falling during the bottle insertion process. The positioning groove, when grabbing, positions the outer circle corresponding to the battery jack, thereby ensuring the position accuracy when inserting the battery.

[0093] Through the movement of the z-axis and the x-axis, the formation bottle can be grasped from the positioning module 234 and transferred to the battery conveying mechanism 3 to be inserted into the battery. In order to further cooperate with the formation bottle insertion work of the actuator 24, the present application further designs the battery conveying mechanism 3.

[0094] For reference Fig.12The battery conveying mechanism 3 includes a conveying line 31, a movable linear positioning component 32, a pneumatic clamp 33 and a pneumatic positioning component 34; the conveying line 31 is located at the output end of the lower side of the bottle insertion mechanism, and is used to convey the battery. The movable linear positioning component 32 is detachably arranged on the conveying line 31, and is used for guiding and positioning the battery when entering the insertion bottle station, wherein the movable linear positioning component 32 includes two guide rods 321 and a plurality of positioning shafts 322; the two guide rods 321 are symmetrically arranged at a distance of 2 to 3.5 cm on the upper side of the conveying line 31, and a plurality of positioning shafts 322 are arranged on the upper side of the conveying line 31. The positioning shaft 322 is fixedly connected to the guide rod 321, and the guide rod 321 is connected to the conveyor line 31 through the positioning shaft 322. One of the guide rods 321 has at least two positioning shafts 322 for stable connection. The connection distance formed between the two guide rods 321 can only adapt to one battery passing through, and the guide rod 321 passing through can effectively control the batteries to be in a unified orientation when entering the plug-in area; in the specific setting, the winning guide rod 321 is divided into three parts: the front section 3211, the middle section 3212 and the rear section 3213 (for details, please refer to Fig.13 ), the front section 3211 is rotated 60 degrees toward the outside of the conveyor line 31, wherein one end of the front section 3211 toward the outside of the conveyor line 31 extends outward until it exceeds the edge of the conveyor line 31, then the two symmetrical front sections 3211 can effectively guide the battery to move toward the middle of the conveyor line 31, and during the movement, the inclined surface of the front section 3211 can also guide the battery to gradually tilt from the horizontal direction to vertically enter the middle section 3212, and after entering the middle section 3212, the battery continues to work through the conveyor line 31 until it moves to the pneumatic positioning component 34 set on the conveyor line 31. At this time, the pneumatic positioning component 34 blocks the battery from continuing to move forward, and a sensor is set at the blocking end to connect with the PLC, and the sensing signal is transmitted to the PLC , the PLC controls the conveyor line 31 to stop, and then controls the pneumatic clamp 33 arranged on the conveyor line 31 to clamp the battery. After the clamping, the actuator 24 performs the plug-in work of the formation bottle. After the plug-in is completed, the pneumatic positioning component 34 is opened. At this time, the sensor has no contact with the battery, and the PLC contacts this signal to control the conveyor line to start working again. At this time, the battery inserted into the formation bottle is moved to the rear section 3213 through the conveying displacement of the conveyor line 31, and then leaves the range of the guide rod 321. The guide rod 321 completes the overall guiding work. At the same time, the rear section 3213 is rotated 45 degrees toward the outside of the conveyor line 31, which can effectively reduce the situation where the battery and the edge of the rear section 3213 are scratched when the guide rod 321 is moved out.

[0095] It should be noted that the pneumatic clamp 33 is an existing common automated clamping equipment, and the specific structure does not need to be repeated in this application. Secondly, the pneumatic positioning assembly 34 is a combination of an existing cylinder and a sensor. The cylinder is continuously located on the conveyor line to form a barrier to the advancement of the battery. When the battery moves to the cylinder blocking position, the pneumatic clamp group 242 of the actuator 24 set on the upper side corresponds to the upper and lower parts. Because the sensor is set at the front end of the cylinder, when the battery is blocked, the signal will be transmitted to the PLC, and the PLC will output the control of the conveyor line 31 and other structures. The pneumatic clamp 33 is set at both ends of the stopped battery, and the battery is clamped when the conveyor line 31 stops, thereby ensuring stability during insertion.

[0096] The specific implementation steps of this application are as follows:

[0097] First, the trolley carrying the chemical bottles is transferred to the tipping machine 11, and the tipping machine 11 pours the chemical bottles into the elevator 12, and the elevator 12 moves the chemical bottles upward, and the first material distribution chute 13 and the second material distribution chute 15 are used to achieve the effect of transporting the chemical bottles to the two bottle insertion mechanisms 2. When transporting the chemical bottles to the second material distribution chute 15, it is achieved by controlling the baffle inside the first material distribution chute 13;

[0098] Second, the bottle inserting mechanism 2 receives the formation bottles, and sequentially performs the work of sorting, arranging, transferring and inserting the bottles, so that the formation bottles are transferred to the upper side of the battery conveying mechanism 3;

[0099] 3. Finally, wait for the battery to be delivered by the battery conveying mechanism 3. When the battery arrives at the insertion station, fix the battery, insert the formation bottle into the battery through the actuator 24 in the bottle insertion mechanism 2, and repeat the work in sequence.

[0100] The above description is only for illustrating the present invention. It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various variations that conform to the concept of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
