Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of line marking devices, and more particularly to a copper busbar line marking device. Background Technology

[0002] Since the two components in an electrical device are not always arranged in a straight line, the copper busbar connecting the two components needs to be cut. Before cutting, the copper busbar needs to be marked with lines to indicate the cutting position and direction.

[0003] The current method involves manually measuring the required dimensions using calipers and then drawing lines at both ends of the copper busbar. Because the surface of the copper busbar is smooth, the markings are easily erased during transport, affecting the quality of the lines. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a copper busbar marking device to solve the problem that existing marking methods have the problem that the markings are easily erased during the copper busbar transportation process, which affects the marking effect.

The first blade and the second blade are disposed on opposite sides of the copper busbar socket along a second direction. The drive mechanism can drive the first blade and the second blade to move towards each other to press out cutting marks on both sides of the copper busbar inserted into the copper busbar socket. The drive mechanism can also drive the first blade and the second blade to move away from each other. There is a non-zero angle between the first direction and the second direction.

[0006] Optionally, the distance between the first limiting plate and the copper busbar socket in the first direction is the insertion length of the copper busbar.

[0007] Optionally, the tool assembly further includes a first tool post and a second tool post, wherein the first blade is mounted on the first tool post and the second blade is mounted on the second tool post.

[0008] Optionally, the driving mechanism is a finger cylinder, with the first blade holder fixed to one of the fingers gripped by the finger cylinder, and the second blade holder fixed to the other finger gripped by the finger cylinder.

[0009] Optionally, there are two tool assemblies, which are divided into a first tool assembly and a second tool assembly, and the drive mechanism of the first tool assembly is fixed to the housing; The drive mechanism of the second tool assembly is slidably connected to the housing in a third direction; The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0010] Optionally, the drive mechanism of the second tool assembly is slidably connected to the housing via a first slide, the first slide being fixed inside the housing, and the drive mechanism of the second tool assembly being mounted on the first slide. It also includes a first position sensor and a second position sensor. The first position sensor is disposed at one end of the length direction of the first slide, and the second position sensor is disposed at the other end of the length direction of the first slide. The drive mechanism of the second tool assembly is provided with a receiving plate that can cooperate with the first position sensor and the second position sensor respectively, so that when the drive mechanism of the second tool assembly moves to one end of the first slide, the first position sensor senses the receiving plate; when the drive mechanism of the second tool assembly moves to the other end of the first slide, the second position sensor senses the receiving plate.

[0011] Optionally, it also includes a second limiting plate and a sliding assembly, wherein the second limiting plate and the first limiting plate are spaced apart along the third direction, the second limiting plate is connected to the housing through the sliding assembly, and the sliding assembly is used to drive the second limiting plate to slide along the first direction and / or the third direction; Optionally, the first limiting plate is slidably connected to the housing via a second slide table, the second slide table being fixed inside the housing, and the first limiting plate being mounted on the second slide table; a first sensor and a second sensor are provided at both ends of the slide table, and a receiving plate is provided on the first limiting plate for cooperating with the first sensor and the second sensor, so that when the first limiting plate slides to one end of the second slide table, the first sensor senses the receiving plate; when the first limiting plate slides to the other end of the second slide table, the second sensor senses the receiving plate.

[0012] Optionally, the housing includes a housing body, connecting bolts, and two handstops. The housing body is provided with a feed inlet, and the two handstops are spaced apart along the second direction.

[0014] This invention provides a marking device for copper busbars. The distance between the first limiting plate and the copper busbar is pre-adjusted to pre-limit the insertion distance of the copper busbar. The copper busbar is then inserted into its socket until it contacts the first limiting plate. A drive mechanism is activated, causing a first blade and a second blade to move towards each other, clamping the copper busbar. The first and second blades, driven by the drive mechanism, leave marks on the surface of the copper busbar, which are the drawn lines. Once the position of the first limiting plate is fixed, the operator only needs to insert each copper busbar individually into its socket. When the copper busbar abuts against the first limiting plate, the first and second blades press out marks on the copper busbar. Multiple copper busbars can be marked using this method, and because the first and second blades are relatively stable, the marks are also relatively stable and not easily wiped off.

[0020] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0021] Reference Figures 1 to 4This invention provides a copper busbar marking device, including a housing 1, a tool assembly and a first limiting plate 3 both disposed within the housing 1; the housing 1 has a copper busbar insertion port 11 for inserting a copper busbar into the housing 1 along a first direction. The tool assembly includes a driving mechanism 25, a first blade 21 and a second blade 22, the first blade 21 and the second blade 22 being disposed on opposite sides of the copper busbar insertion port 11 along a second direction, the driving mechanism 25 being used to drive the first blade 21 and the second blade 22 to move towards each other along the second direction to press marks on the two side surfaces of the copper busbar, or the driving mechanism 25 being used to drive the first blade 21 and the second blade 22 to move away from each other along the second direction; the first limiting plate 3 is slidably connected to the housing 1 along the first direction, the first limiting plate 3 and the copper busbar insertion port 11 are spaced apart along the first direction, the interval between the first limiting plate 3 and the copper busbar insertion port 11 is the insertion length of the copper busbar; wherein, there is a non-zero included angle between the first direction and the second direction.

[0022] The gap between the first limiting plate 3 and the copper busbar is pre-adjusted to pre-limit the insertion distance of the copper busbar. Then, the copper busbar is inserted into the copper busbar socket 11 until it contacts the first limiting plate 3. The drive mechanism 25 is activated, which drives the first blade 21 and the second blade 22 to move towards each other, so that the first blade 21 and the second blade 22 clamp the copper busbar. The first blade 21 and the second blade 22 are driven by the drive mechanism 25 until they can leave a knife mark on the surface of the copper busbar. The knife mark on the copper busbar is the drawn line. After the line is drawn, the drive mechanism 25 drives the first blade 21 and the second blade 22 to move away from each other, so that the first blade 21 and the second blade 22 no longer press the copper busbar, allowing the operator to pull the copper busbar out of the copper busbar socket 11.

[0023] Once the position of the first limiting plate 3 is fixed, the worker only needs to insert each copper busbar individually into the copper busbar socket 11. When the copper busbar abuts against the first limiting plate 3, the first blade 21 and the second blade 22 press out knife marks on the copper busbar. Multiple copper busbars can be marked in the same batch using the above method. Furthermore, because the first blade 21 and the second blade 22 are relatively stable, the knife marks are relatively stable and are not easily wiped off.

[0024] As an example, the cutting tool assembly further includes a first tool holder 23 and a second tool holder 24. The first blade 21 is mounted on the first tool holder 23, and the second blade 22 is disposed on the second tool holder 24. The driving mechanism 25 is a finger cylinder, also known as a pneumatic finger gripper. The first tool holder 23 is fixed to one gripper of the driving mechanism 25, and the second tool holder 24 is fixed to the other gripper of the driving mechanism 25. The first tool holder 23 and the second tool holder 24 are driven by the finger cylinder to move towards each other or away from each other. In this embodiment, the finger cylinder is a parallel gripper type.

[0025] In this embodiment, a finger cylinder is used to drive the first tool holder 23 and the second tool holder 24 to move towards each other, thereby causing the first blade 21 on the first tool holder 23 and the second blade 22 on the second tool holder 24 to move closer or further apart. The finger cylinder, also known as a pneumatic finger gripper, has the characteristics of fast response and strong power, which can shorten the drawing time and increase the depth of the cut.

[0026] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As an example, two tool assemblies are provided. One tool assembly, designated as the first tool assembly 201, has its drive mechanism 25 fixed to the housing 1. The other tool assembly, designated as the second tool assembly 202, has its drive mechanism 25 slidably connected to the housing 1 along a third direction. The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are mutually perpendicular. In this embodiment, two tool assemblies are provided, allowing for simultaneous drawing of lines at both ends of the copper busbar. Furthermore, because the second tool assembly 202 can slide along the third direction, it can accommodate copper busbars of different lengths or widths. It can also draw lines at different positions along the third direction on the same copper busbar.

[0027] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As an example, the drive mechanism 25 of the second tool assembly 202 is slidably connected to the housing 1 via a second slide 31. The first slide 26 is fixed inside the housing 1. The first position sensor 27 is disposed at one end of the length of the first slide 26, and the second position sensor 28 is disposed at the other end of the length of the first slide 26. A receiving plate 29 is disposed on the drive mechanism 25 of the second tool assembly 202. When the drive mechanism 25 of the second tool assembly 202 moves to one end of the first slide 26, the first position sensor 27 senses the receiving plate 29. When the drive mechanism 25 of the second tool assembly 202 moves to the other end of the first slide 26, the second position sensor 28 senses the receiving plate 29.

[0028] In this embodiment, the first position sensor 27 and the second position sensor 28 are used to cooperate with the receiving plate 29. The first position sensor 27 and the second position sensor 28 are mainly used to limit the drive mechanism 25 and define the sliding path of the drive mechanism 25 on the second slide 31.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As an example, the copper busbar marking device further includes a second limiting plate 4 and a sliding assembly 41. The second limiting plate 4 and the first limiting plate 3 are spaced apart along the third direction. The second limiting plate 4 is connected to the housing 1 through the sliding assembly 41, which drives the second limiting plate 4 to slide along the first direction and along the third direction. In this embodiment, the sliding assembly 41 is a cross slide, which can drive the second limiting plate 4 to move along the first direction and the third direction, so that the surface of the second limiting plate 4 near the copper busbar socket 11 and the surface of the second limiting plate 4 near the copper busbar socket 11 are coplanar. Thus, the second limiting plate 4 and the first limiting plate 3 can respectively abut against the two ends of the copper busbar to improve the accuracy of the marking.

[0030] As an example, the first limiting plate 3 is slidably connected to the housing 1 via the second slide 31. The first slide 26 is fixed to the housing 1, and the first limiting plate 3 is mounted on the second slide 31. A receiving plate 34 is provided on the first limiting plate 3, and a first sensor 32 and a second sensor 33 are provided at both ends of the slide. In this embodiment, the maximum length of the second slide 31 is 550mm. When the first limiting plate 3 slides to one end of the second slide 31, the first sensor 32 senses the receiving plate 34; when the first limiting plate 3 slides to the other end of the second slide 31, the second sensor 33 senses the receiving plate 34.

[0031] The first sensor 32 and the second sensor 33 sense whether the first limiting plate 3 has slid to the end of the second slide table 31 in the length direction. The first sensor 32 and the second sensor 33 serve as soft limits for the position of the first limiting plate 3, defining the two ends of the sliding path of the first limiting plate 3.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 As an example, the housing 1 includes a housing body 12, connecting bolts and two handstops 13. The housing body 12 is provided with a feed port. The two handstops 13 are spaced apart along the second direction. The gap between the two handstops 13 communicates with the feed port. The gap between the two handstops 13 forms the copper busbar socket 11.

[0033] In this embodiment, the hand stop 13 is made of PVC, and the gap between the two hand stop 13 forms a copper busbar insertion port for the copper busbar to be inserted.

[0034] As an example, the hand stop plate 13 is provided with an adjustment groove 14 extending through its thickness direction. The adjustment groove 14 extends along the second direction, and the connecting bolt passes through the adjustment groove 14 and is threadedly connected to the housing body 12. In actual use, the connecting bolt is first loosened, and the hand stop plate 13 can be adjusted up and down along the second direction, thereby adjusting the width of the copper busbar socket 11 along the second direction to accommodate copper busbars of different thicknesses.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 As an example, the copper busbar marking device also includes a horizontal plate 6 disposed outside the housing 1. The horizontal plate 6 is slidably connected to the housing 1 along the second direction and is used to support the copper busbar at the copper busbar socket 11. In this embodiment, the horizontal plate 6 is disposed outside the housing 1 and slides up and down against the outer wall of the housing 1. After adjusting the copper busbar socket 11 in the above manner, the position of the horizontal plate 6 can be adjusted so that the horizontal plate 6 is parallel to the bottom surface of the copper busbar, thereby allowing the copper busbar to be inserted into the copper busbar socket 11 as horizontally as possible. Since the width of the copper busbar socket 11 along the second direction must be greater than or equal to the thickness of the copper busbar for the copper busbar to be inserted, and generally the width of the copper busbar socket 11 along the second direction is greater than the thickness of the copper busbar, adjusting the horizontal plate 6 to a suitable position allows the copper busbar to be inserted into the copper busbar socket 11 and to abut against the first limiting plate 3 in a horizontal state, making the marking more accurate.

[0036] In this embodiment, the two ends of the horizontal plate 6 are respectively connected to cylinders, and the cylinders drive the horizontal plate 6 to move back and forth in the second direction.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 As an example, the copper busbar marking device also includes a foot pedal 5, which is electrically connected to the drive mechanism 25. The foot pedal 5 is used to start or stop the drive mechanism 25. Controlling the cylinder with the foot pedal 5 is a common method in the mechanical field and will not be described in detail.

[0038] In this embodiment, the copper busbar marking device further includes a visual inspection mechanism, which includes a camera and a control device. The camera takes a picture of the copper busbar after the line is drawn, and the control device analyzes the picture taken by the camera to determine whether a line has been drawn on the copper busbar, thereby determining the drawing effect.

[0039] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, and should all be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
