Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of battery module assembly, and in particular to a square battery module assembly device and method. Background Art
[0002] After the battery cells are stacked into large modules, they need to be assembled into a box to make the required single-row or double-row battery modules.
[0003] After the battery box is scanned and OCV tested, it needs to be manually transported or flipped by multiple robots to move the battery box to different manufacturing units for cleaning, gluing and stacking into groups. Since multiple manufacturing units cannot work on one production line, multiple manufacturing units are placed separately, resulting in production congestion. The connection between different manufacturing units is mostly done by manual or robotic transport. The back-and-forth transport makes the processing process cumbersome and reduces production efficiency. In the process of cleaning both sides of the battery box, it is necessary to add a flipping piece to the manufacturing unit to turn the battery box over. After cleaning and gluing are completed, it needs to be manually transported or loaded by robots to the processing table for battery stacking, which increases production costs.
[0004] Therefore, a square battery module assembly device and method are invented. Summary of the invention

[0042] An adjustment component 5 is installed on the bracket 24. The adjustment component 5 drives the clamping component 4 to rotate around the driving shaft to realize the flipping of the battery cell box. The clamping adjustment mechanism 2 cooperates with the adjustment component 5 to adjust the battery cell box spacing and flip it at the same time, which is convenient for cleaning and gluing the surface of the battery cell box, improves the processing convenience, integrates the equipment used for cleaning and gluing on one production line, reduces the transportation cost of connecting different manufacturing units, and retracts the clamping adjustment mechanism 2 to realize the stacking of battery cell boxes, so that multiple groups of battery cell boxes are adhered into a battery module, removes the manufacturing unit for stacking battery cell boxes, reduces processing costs, completes the cleaning, gluing and stacking of battery cell boxes on one production line, and improves processing efficiency.
[0043] The bracket 24 is provided with a displacement groove 241 for limiting the movement of the driving shaft. The displacement groove 241 is used for limiting the movement of multiple driving shafts. The displacement groove 241 plays a guiding role when the driving shaft moves, thereby improving the movement stability.
[0044] The front rod component 22 includes a main rod 221 and a secondary rod 222, one end of the secondary rod 222 is pin-connected to the first connecting rod 211 of the front group, the other end of the secondary rod 222 is axially connected to the middle of the main rod 221 on the fixed rod, one end of the main rod 221 is pin-connected to the second connecting rod 212 at the front end, and the tail rod component 23 includes a rod 1 231 and a rod 232, one end of the rod 1 231 and the rod 2 232 are connected to a rotating shaft, one end of the rotating shaft passes through the displacement slot 241, and the other ends of the rod 1 231 and the rod 2 232 are pin-connected to the first connecting rod 211 and the second connecting rod 212 of the last group respectively.

A driving groove is opened on the main rod 221, and a rotating rod 321 penetrating the driving groove is installed at one end of the rotating plate 32. When the driving motor 31 rotates, it drives the rotating plate 32 to rotate. Since the rotating rod 321 is limited by the driving groove, one end of the main rod 221 is pulled, so that the main rod 221 rotates around the fixed rod, thereby driving the multiple groups of connecting rod structures 21 and the tail rod component 23 to extend and retract.
[0046] The clamping assembly 4 includes a mounting support plate 41, a left clamping plate 42, a right clamping plate 43 and a clamping drive mechanism 44. The center of the bottom end surface of the mounting support plate 41 is fixed to the upper end of the driving shaft. The clamping drive mechanism 44 is installed on the mounting support plate 41. The left clamping plate 42 and the right clamping plate 43 are respectively connected to the two ends of the clamping drive mechanism 44. Tooth grooves are provided on the clamping end surfaces of the left clamping plate 42 and the right clamping plate 43. The wavy tooth grooves on the clamping end surfaces increase the friction of the clamping surface, so that the clamping surface and the surface of the battery box are clamped more tightly, thereby improving the stability of the object after clamping and preventing the object from being displaced.
[0047] The clamping drive mechanism 44 includes a first sector gear 441 and a second sector gear 442 meshing with each other, a first clamping arm 443 sleeved on the mounting rod of the first sector gear 441, a second clamping arm 444 sleeved on the mounting rod of the second sector gear 442, and a first limit support arm 445 and a second limit support arm 446 symmetrically hinged on the mounting support plate 41. One end of the left clamping plate 42 is connected to the left mounting plate 421, and both ends of the left mounting plate 421 are respectively connected to the first clamping arm 443 and the second limit support arm 444. 3 is hinged with the first limiting arm 445, one end of the right clamping plate 43 is connected with the right mounting plate 431, and the two ends of the right mounting plate 431 are respectively hinged with the second clamping arm 444 and the second limiting arm 446, and the first limiting arm 445 and the second limiting arm 446 are used to ensure that the clamping surface of the left clamping plate 42 and the right clamping plate 43 always maintains a horizontal clamping with the surface of the battery box during clamping, so as to solve the problem that the clamping surface of the traditional scissors-type clamp cannot fit the surface of a square object, and improve the clamping stability of the clamp.
[0048] The first sector gear 441 and the second sector gear 442 are both axially connected to the mounting support plate 41 through a mounting rod. A motor is arranged in the middle of the mounting support plate 41. A gear is sleeved on the output end of the motor. The mounting rod of the second sector gear 442 is connected to the gear at the output end of the motor.
[0049] The adjustment assembly 5 includes two flip rods 51, on which a flip sub-plate 511 is sleeved, and a strip support 52 whose two ends are axially connected to the two flip sub-plates 511 respectively, and a limited sliding groove 521 is provided on the strip support 52, one end of one of the flip rods 51 is axially connected to the fixed rod, and one end of the other flip rod 51 is installed on the bracket 24 through an axle rod, and a positioning rod is extended from the bottom end of the flip sub-plate 511, and a circular groove for positioning the positioning rod is provided on the bracket 24, and a driving shaft rod penetrates the driving groove and is connected to the linkage plate 53, and one end of the linkage plate 53 is connected to a linkage rod 531 inserted in the limited sliding groove 521. In the original state, when the flip rod 51 rotates, the flip sub-plate 511 drives the strip support 52 to move, and the limited sliding groove 521 is used to adjust the rotation of the flip rod 51. The positioning slide groove 521 drives the driving shaft to rotate, and then flips the battery cell box clamped on the clamping assembly 4. In the original state, the strip support 52 is located on the left side of the displacement groove 241. When the flip rod 51 flips 90°, it drives the flip sub-plate 511 to rotate 90°, thereby driving the strip support 52 to move to the right side of the displacement groove 241. When the strip support 52 moves, the limiting slide groove 521 limits the linkage rod 531, and then drives the linkage rod 531 and the linkage plate 53 to rotate 90° with the driving shaft as the axis. Since the linkage plate 53 is fixedly connected to the driving shaft, the driving shaft and the clamping assembly 4 are driven to rotate 90°, thereby realizing a 90° flipping of the battery cell box. When the flip rod 51 flips 180°, it drives the battery cell box to rotate 180°.
[0050] Example 2, reference Figures 1 to 9 , as a second embodiment of the present invention, provides: a method for using a square battery module assembly device, comprising the following steps:
[0051] S1: The battery box loading device 10 loads the battery box to be processed onto the clamping assembly 4, and the speed chain drives the clamping adjustment mechanism 2 and the clamping assembly 4 to move on the frame 1;
[0052] S2: When the clamping adjustment mechanism 2 moves to the cleaning and dispensing equipment 11, the driving motor 31 rotates counterclockwise to drive the rotating plate 32 to rotate counterclockwise. Since the rotating rod 321 is limited by the driving groove, one end of the main rod 221 is pulled to make the main rod 221 rotate counterclockwise around the fixed rod, thereby driving the multiple groups of connecting rod structures 21 and the tail rod component 23 to extend along the displacement groove 241, thereby adjusting the spacing between the multiple battery cell boxes. When the rotating shaft of the tail rod component 23 moves to the tail end of the displacement groove 241, the driving member 3 stops driving. At this time, the battery cell box is in the first state. The length of the battery cell box in the first state is parallel to the width of the bracket 24;
[0053] S3: At this time, the motor drives one of the flip rods 51 to rotate 90°, and the flip sub-plate 511 rotates 90° around the flip rod 51. When the flip sub-plate 511 rotates, it drives the strip support 52 to move, and limits the linkage rod 531 through the limiting slide groove 521, thereby driving the linkage rod 531, the driving shaft rod and the clamping assembly 4 to rotate, thereby driving the battery box to rotate 90° to the second state. When the battery box is in the second state, the length of the battery box is parallel to the length of the bracket 24, and the cleaning and dispensing equipment 11 performs plasma cleaning on one side of the battery box. The motor drives the flip rod 51 to rotate 180° in the same direction again. At this time, the length of the battery box is still parallel to the length of the bracket 24, but the battery box rotates 180° to the other side, and the cleaning and dispensing equipment 11 performs plasma cleaning on the other side of the battery box.
[0054] S4: The cleaned battery box is driven by the speed chain to move to the glue dispensing position, and glue is applied on the surface of the battery box by the equipment. After the battery box is cleaned and glued, the flip rod 51 rotates 90° in the opposite direction, driving the battery box to reset to the first state;
[0055] S5: When the driving motor 31 rotates clockwise, it drives the rotating plate 32 to rotate clockwise. Since the rotating rod 321 is limited by the driving groove, one end of the main rod 221 is pulled, so that the main rod 221 rotates clockwise around the fixed rod, thereby driving the multiple groups of connecting rod structures 21 and the tail rod component 23 to retract along the displacement groove 241, and the spacing between the multiple clamping components 4 is equidistantly reduced. When the surfaces of the multiple battery cell boxes are pressed together, the driving member 3 stops driving, and the multiple battery cell boxes are stacked to form a battery module;
[0056] S6: The battery module welding equipment 12 is used to perform subsequent structural welding on the battery module, and the packaging equipment 13 is used to assemble and package the battery module.
[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, it is still possible for those skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or to make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein.
