Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of underground coal mine transportation machinery technology, specifically to a lithium battery top cover patching device and patching method. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of lithium batteries, the requirements for the quality and production capacity of lithium battery products are becoming increasingly higher. In the production process of square lithium batteries, a top cover patch is attached to the battery cover plate in the finished product stage for insulation.

[0003] Currently, most applications employ manual or automated bonding methods. Manual bonding cannot guarantee bonding quality, resulting in defects such as skewing and lifting, and is inefficient with high labor costs. Automated bonding equipment also cannot guarantee bonding quality. For example, the prior art document CN109599587A discloses a fully automated top cover bonding device for lithium-ion square power batteries, including a feeding device, a positioning platform, a picking device, an adsorption device, and a transfer device. The feeding device supplies insulating sheets, and the picking and adsorption devices are mounted on the transfer device. The transfer device drives the picking device to pick up the sheet from the feeding device and place it on the positioning platform. The transfer device then drives the adsorption device to pick up the sheet from the positioning platform and attach it to the battery top cover. This equipment has a simple structure, with only one station for both the picking and adsorption devices, resulting in low efficiency and an inability to guarantee bonding quality. Furthermore, this equipment cannot remove and recycle the centrifugal paper on the bottom of the sheet. Summary of the Invention

[0048] In use, the control unit 2 controls the tray 7 containing the battery cells 71 to flow from left to right along the battery cell conveying and positioning unit 3 to below the attaching unit 5. During the flow, the tray blocking components 33 are always open. The arrival anti-collision sensor 34 senses that the tray 7 has arrived and controls the control unit 2 to close the left and right tray blocking components 33 of the tray 7. The tray blocking component 33 on the right side of the tray 7 blocks the tray, and the tray blocking component 33 on the left side of the tray 7 prevents a second tray 7 from flowing to below the attaching unit 5 and causing a collision. After the tray 7 stops, the control unit 2 controls the lifting cylinder 351 to rise through the program. At the same time, the tray positioning plate 352 rises with the lifting cylinder 351 to lift the tray 7 for positioning. After cell 351 rises to its position, control unit 2 controls output component 363 to lower the cell positioning plate 361 and positioning frame 362. Simultaneously, the square hole of cell positioning plate 361 precisely positions the cell 71 within tray 7. After precise positioning of cell 71 within tray 7, control unit 2 controls Y-axis servo component 51 and X-axis servo component 52 to work together to move attachment suction cup 54 above the chip storage positioning unit 4, and lowers attachment suction cup 54 to the centrifugal paper 8 via Z-axis servo component 53. Attachment suction cup 54 activates its internal vacuum function and adsorbs the top piece of centrifugal paper 8. Simultaneously, Y-axis servo component 51 and X-axis servo component 52 work together to move attachment suction cup 54 to the adhesive removal and waste discharge unit 6 and away from it. The front end of the centrifugal paper 8 is located inside the gripper 622; at the same time, the storage positioning unit 4 raises the centrifugal paper 8 to the patch limit sensor 44 through the patch lifting component 43 to ensure that the centrifugal paper 8 is consistently adsorbed each time; the gripper 622 clamps the centrifugal paper 8 through the clamping cylinder 621, while the Z-axis servo component 53 drives the attachment suction cup 54 to rise, causing the top cover patch 81 to separate from the centrifugal paper 8; after separation, the booster component 63 uses the booster cylinder 631 and the buffer component 632 to pop up and make the centrifugal paper 8 enter the waste discharge channel 64; then the Y-axis servo component 51 and the X-axis servo component 52 cooperate to move the attachment suction cup 54 to the top of the battery cell 71 in the tray 7, and then lower it to the battery cell 71 to make the top cover patch 81 separate from the battery cell 7. 1. Accurately attach the battery cells. Simultaneously, the vacuum inside the attachment suction cup 54 is closed, separating the attachment suction cup 54 from the battery cells and driving it to rise via the Z-axis servo component 53. The control unit 2 repeats the sticker attaching steps of the attachment suction cup 54 according to the set rules, realizing the attachment of the top cover stickers of all battery cells 71 in the tray 7. After the top cover stickers 81 of all battery cells 71 in the tray 7 are attached, the output component 363 drives the battery cell positioning plate 361 and positioning frame 362 to rise, and at the same time, the battery cell positioning plate 361 separates from the battery cells 71 in the tray 7. When a battery cell 71 gets stuck on the battery cell positioning plate 361 and is lifted up, the anti-battery lift sensor 364 will sense the lifted battery cell 71 and activate the alarm function to automatically stop the machine through the control unit 2.After the output component 363 rises to its position, the lifting cylinder 351 descends, causing the tray 7 to fall onto the conveyor belt 32. Simultaneously, the tray blocking assembly 33 opens, allowing the tray 7 to flow into the next process, completing all the actions of the device.
