Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of battery production, and in particular to a new energy power battery aluminum shell shaping and detection device. Background Art

[0002] With the global attention to environmental protection and sustainable development, the new energy vehicle industry has ushered in unprecedented development opportunities. One of the core components of new energy vehicles is the power battery, and the power battery shell is a key component to protect the internal structure of the battery, isolate gas and conduct heat. Its performance directly affects the safety, reliability and endurance of the vehicle. Among them, aluminum shell power batteries have been widely used in the field of new energy vehicles due to their advantages such as light weight, good heat transfer and strong corrosion resistance. Therefore, designing a set of efficient and accurate aluminum shell shaping and detection devices is of great significance to improving the performance and safety of power batteries.

[0003] During the production process of power batteries, due to factors such as materials and processes, the aluminum shell may have problems such as irregular shape and dimensional deviation. These problems not only affect the assembly accuracy of the battery, but may also have a negative impact on the performance and safety of the battery. Therefore, aluminum shell shaping technology came into being. In order to ensure the quality and safety of aluminum shell power batteries, the aluminum shell must be strictly tested.

[0004] The existing new energy power battery aluminum shell shaping and testing are two sets of equipment. After the aluminum shell is shaped by the shaping device, it is sent to the testing device. After passing the test, it is sent to the next process. If it fails the test, it needs to be returned to the shaping device, and the work efficiency is low. Summary of the invention

[0005] Based on this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a new energy power battery aluminum shell shaping and detection device to solve the technical problem that the existing new energy power battery aluminum shell shaping and detection are two sets of devices. After the shaping of the aluminum shell by the shaping device is completed, the aluminum shell is sent to the detection device, and after passing the detection, it is sent to the next process. If the detection fails, it needs to be returned to the shaping device, resulting in low work efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a new energy power battery aluminum shell shaping and detection device, comprising a fixed shaft, a turntable is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the fixed shaft, a plurality of workstation slots are arranged on the top of the turntable, a support frame is also fixed to one side of the turntable, a limit rod is fixed to the bottom of the top of the support frame, a lifting rod is slidably connected to the outside of the limit rod, a connecting seat is slidably connected to the bottom of the lifting rod, and a cylinder is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the outside of the lifting rod, the output end of the cylinder is connected to the connecting seat, the bottom of the connecting seat is rotatably connected to a driven main roller, and an upper fixed plate, a middle fixed plate, and a middle fixed plate are fixed to the lower inner part of the support frame from top to bottom. The gear selector is an adjustable gear and a plurality of gears are connected to the gear train of the plurality of control wheels, and the plurality of gears are connected to the plurality of control wheels respectively.

[0007] By adopting the above technical scheme, the shaping device and the detection device are integrated together to form a cooperation. When the battery aluminum shell is conveyed to the bottom of the work station, the detection camera faces downward at this time, and can capture the image information of the inside of the battery aluminum shell. The lifting rod drives the inner shaping structure to descend, and then the inner and outer shaping structures move relative to each other to clamp and rotate the battery aluminum shell, thereby rolling and shaping the battery aluminum shell. During the descent of the lifting rod, the flap of the detection mechanism will be linked to turn up, and the detection camera will also be linked to turn to the direction of the battery aluminum shell, so that the image information of the inside of the battery aluminum shell can be captured, and the shaping and detection can be performed at the same time.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that a motor is installed on the inner side of the support frame via a fixing plate, an output end of the motor is connected to a first gear, and one side of the lifting rod is provided with teeth matching with the first gear.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting rod is driven by the motor to perform lifting movement.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the bottom of the connecting seat is located on both sides of the driven main roller and is rotatably connected to inner rollers, and both sides of the mounting frame are rotatably connected to outer rollers.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the side rollers and the main rollers cooperate to make the rotation of the battery shell more stable.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that a spring is provided between the sliding block and the supporting frame.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the reset of the slider is facilitated.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that the bottom end of the flap is an inwardly curved structure.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, it can be ensured that the detection camera is located directly above the battery aluminum shell, and the arc-shaped mechanism is easy to avoid.

[0016] The present invention is further configured such that a gear shaft is provided in the middle of the rotating shaft, a tooth meshing with the gear shaft is provided on the other side of the lifting rod, and the interior of the flap is located between the rotating shaft and the rotating rod to connect the transmission belt.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the linkage rotation of the detection camera is realized.

[0018] The present invention is further configured such that a limiting plate is also fixed to the inner bottom end of the support frame, the top of the limiting plate is slidably connected to the limiting block, and the bottom of the mounting frame is connected to the limiting block.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the movement of the mounting frame is made stable.

[0020] In summary, the present invention mainly has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] The present invention integrates a shaping device and a detection device together to form a cooperation. When the battery aluminum shell is conveyed to the bottom of the workstation, the detection camera faces downward and can capture the image information of the inner side of the battery aluminum shell. The lifting rod drives the inner shaping structure to descend. Then the inner and outer shaping structures move relative to each other to clamp and rotate the battery aluminum shell, thereby rolling and shaping the battery aluminum shell. During the descent of the lifting rod, the flap of the detection mechanism will be linked to turn up, and the detection camera will also be linked to turn to the direction of the battery aluminum shell, so as to capture the image information of the inner side of the battery aluminum shell. The shaping and detection can be carried out simultaneously. The ingenious cooperation between the shaping device and the detection device can greatly improve the work efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0033] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention based on its overall structure.

[0034] A new energy power battery aluminum shell shaping and testing device, mainly for cylindrical battery aluminum shells, such as Figure 1-9 As shown: it includes a fixed shaft 1, a turntable 2 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the fixed shaft 1, the turntable 2 is an electrically rotating turntable, and a plurality of station slots 3 are arranged on the top of the turntable 2. The battery aluminum shell is placed into each station slot 3 through an external feeding mechanism, and the battery aluminum shell is sequentially sent to the shaping station through the rotation of the turntable 2. A support frame 4 is also fixed on one side of the turntable 2, and a shaping mechanism is arranged on the inner side of the support frame 4. A detection mechanism is arranged on the inner side of the fixed shaft 1. The battery aluminum shell is shaped by the shaping mechanism, and the turntable 2 rotates the battery aluminum shell to the unloading station after passing the detection.

[0035] Please refer to the specific structure of the plastic surgery mechanism. Figure 2-Figure 7A limit rod 5 is fixed below the top of the support frame 4, and a lifting rod 6 is slidably connected to the outside of the limit rod 5. The bottom of the lifting rod 6 is slidably connected to a connecting seat 11, and a cylinder 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the outside of the lifting rod 6. The output end of the cylinder 10 is connected to the connecting seat 11, and the bottom of the connecting seat 11 is rotatably connected to a driven main roller 12. The upper fixed plate 21, the middle fixed plate 26 and the lower fixed plate 24 are fixed in sequence from top to bottom on the inner lower part of the support frame 4. The top of the upper fixed plate 21 slides A slider 22 is connected, a slide plate 25 is slidably connected between the lower fixed plate 24, the end of the middle fixed plate 26 is rotatably connected with a connecting shaft 27, both sides of the connecting shaft 27 are rotatably connected with a second gear 28, and the middle of the connecting shaft 27 is rotatably connected with a third gear 29, the bottom of the slider 22 is provided with teeth meshing with the second gear 28, the top of the slide plate 25 is provided with teeth matching with the third gear 29, a mounting frame 30 is fixed to the bottom of the slide plate 25, and an active main roller 31 is rotatably connected to the middle of the mounting frame 30.

[0036] When the battery aluminum shell reaches the bottom of the driven main roller 12 (i.e., the shaping station), the turntable 2 stops rotating, and a motor 8 is installed on the inner side of the support frame 4 through the fixing plate 7. The output end of the motor 8 is connected to the first gear 9, and one side of the lifting rod 6 is provided with teeth that match the first gear 9. The motor 8 drives the first gear 9 to rotate, and the first gear 9 drives the lifting rod 6 to descend, thereby driving the driven main roller 12 to descend to the inside of the battery aluminum shell through the lifting rod 6. After it is completely descended, the cylinder 10 extends to drive the connecting seat 11 to move, thereby driving the driven main roller 12 to move through the connecting seat 11. The connecting seat 11 also moves forward during the forward movement. The slider 22 will be pushed to move, and the spring 23 will be squeezed at this time. The slider 22 drives the second gear 28 to rotate, the second gear 28 drives the connecting shaft 27 to move, the connecting shaft 27 drives the third gear 29 to rotate, the third gear 29 drives the slide plate 25 to move, the slide plate 25 drives the mounting frame 30 to move, the mounting frame 30 drives the active main roller 31 to move, and finally the driven main roller 12 and the active main roller 31 are close to each other and squeeze the battery aluminum shell, and the active main roller 31 is driven to rotate by the electric roller inside it, so that the battery aluminum shell can be flattened by the rolling cooperation of the driven main roller 12 and the active main roller 31.

[0037] The bottom of the connecting seat 11 is located at both sides of the driven main roller 12, and the inner rollers 13 are rotatably connected to both sides of the mounting frame 30, and the outer rollers 32 are rotatably connected to both sides of the mounting frame 30. Figure 7 As shown, the two main rollers and the two side rollers can hold the battery aluminum shell in an embrace-like manner, making the rotation of the battery aluminum shell more stable and easier to shape.

[0038] A limiting plate 33 is also fixed to the inner bottom end of the support frame 4, the top of the limiting plate 33 is slidably connected to the limiting block 34, the bottom of the mounting frame 30 is connected to the limiting block 34, and the upper and lower ends of the mounting frame 30 have sliding structures, which can make the mounting frame 30 move smoothly.

[0039] Please refer to the specific structure of the testing organization. Figure 7-Figure 9 A horizontal plate 14 is fixed on the inner side of the fixed shaft 1, and a flap 16 is rotatably connected to the end of the horizontal plate 14 through a rotating shaft 15. The bottom end of the flap 16 is rotatably connected to a detection camera 19 through a rotating rod 18. A gear shaft 17 is arranged in the middle of the rotating shaft 15, and teeth meshing with the gear shaft 17 are arranged on the other side of the lifting rod 6. The interior of the flap 16 is located between the rotating shaft 15 and the rotating rod 18 and is connected to a transmission belt 20.

[0040] When the battery shell arrives at the shaping station, Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the bottom end of the flap 16 is an inward arc structure. At this time, the detection camera 19 is facing downward, and the inner side of the battery aluminum shell is photographed through the detection camera 19. When the lifting rod 6 drives the driven main roller 12 to descend, the bottom of the driven main roller 12 will squeeze the arc surface of the flap 16. After being squeezed, the flap 16 will be forced to flip outward. When the teeth on one side of the lifting rod 6 move downward to engage with the gear shaft 17, while continuing to move downward, the gear shaft 17 will further drive the flap 16 to flip. At the same time, the gear shaft 17 drives the rotating shaft 15 to rotate during the rotation process. The rotating shaft 15 drives the rotating rod 18 to rotate through the transmission belt 20, thereby driving the detection camera 19 to flip through the rotating rod 18, so that the detection camera 19 faces the outside of the battery aluminum shell for shooting and detection, while shaping and detecting.

[0041] When the outer side of the battery aluminum shell is tested to be qualified, the above-mentioned mechanisms can be reset to the reverse movement. Figure 1 State, a spring 23 is set between the slider 22 and the support frame 4, and the spring 23 rebounds to drive the slider 22 to reset. At this time, the inner side of the battery aluminum shell is photographed through the detection camera 19. If there are still defects on the inside, continue to descend for plastic surgery, and repeat the steps.

[0042] Although an embodiment of the present invention has been shown and described, this specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not a limitation of the invention. The specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications, substitutions and variations to the embodiments without creative contributions as needed without departing from the principles and purpose of the present invention. However, as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by patent law.
