Description
Technical Field

[0002] At present, battery cell breaking is generally applied to large-size non-flexible batteries. The breaking method is usually to manually break the large battery into long strips, and then break the long strips into small pieces. This is time-consuming and labor-intensive, with low breaking efficiency and poor breaking effect. It has a low degree of automation and is not suitable for mass production. Moreover, this breaking method is only applicable to large-size non-flexible batteries (large-size non-flexible batteries have higher strength, lower toughness, and are easy to break), but not to back-contact flexible component battery cells (back-contact flexible component battery cells are smaller in size, higher in toughness, and not easy to break).
[0003] In this regard, patent CN118675985B invented an automated breaking device for back-contact flexible module battery cells, but the inventors found that the loading mechanism, breaking mechanism and unloading mechanism in the breaking device have a sequence of actions. During the loading process, the breaking mechanism and the unloading mechanism will not move, which leads to low breaking efficiency, and thus low battery production efficiency. In addition, the vacuum suction cup in the breaking device needs to be connected to the vacuum pump through a vacuum pipeline to achieve the vacuum adsorption function, and the vacuum suction cup needs to move back and forth during the loading and unloading and breaking process, which makes the vacuum pipeline easy to get entangled, knotted and worn during the movement of the vacuum suction cup, and even interfere with other parts, resulting in poor safety. It will also cause the connection between the vacuum pipeline and the vacuum suction cup to be unstable, and the vacuum pipeline may fall off, affecting the breaking efficiency.

[0023] Beneficial effects:
[0024] After research, it was found that the actions of the feeding mechanism, the breaking mechanism and the unloading mechanism in the existing breaking device have a sequence. During the feeding process, the breaking mechanism and the unloading mechanism will not move, which leads to low breaking efficiency, thereby making the battery production efficiency low; and the vacuum suction cup in the existing breaking device needs to be connected to the vacuum pump through a vacuum pipeline to realize the vacuum adsorption function, and the vacuum suction cup needs to move back and forth during the loading and unloading and breaking process, which causes the vacuum pipeline to be easily entangled and worn during the movement of the vacuum suction cup, and even interferes with other parts, resulting in poor safety. It will also cause the connection between the vacuum pipeline and the vacuum suction cup to be unstable, and the vacuum pipeline may fall off, affecting the breaking efficiency. Based on this, further research was conducted and the present invention was proposed.
[0025] The present invention adopts the above-mentioned technical scheme, especially connecting the vacuum suction cup to the mover of the annular transmission line, and arranging a rotary suction mechanism in the annular transmission line, and making the rotary suction mechanism rotate with the movement of the mover, so as to realize the simultaneous action of the loading and unloading mechanism and the film breaking mechanism, effectively improve the breaking efficiency, and ensure the connection stability of the rotary suction mechanism and the vacuum suction cup on the mover through the vacuum pipeline, prevent the vacuum pipeline from falling off, and ensure the breaking efficiency. At the same time, since the loading and unloading mechanism and the film breaking mechanism are arranged outside the annular transmission line, the vacuum pipeline will not interfere with the loading and unloading mechanism and the film breaking mechanism during the movement of the rotary suction mechanism and the vacuum suction cup. The vacuum pipelines are independent and suspended to avoid entanglement, knotting and wear of the vacuum pipelines, thereby effectively improving safety.
[0026] Specifically, by providing multiple movers and multiple vacuum suction cups, and connecting each vacuum suction cup to a mover, the function of the circular conveyor line driving multiple vacuum suction cups to move at the same time can be realized. In this way, when the loading and unloading mechanism is loading and unloading the battery cell on one vacuum suction cup, the coating and breaking mechanism can coat and break the battery cell on another vacuum suction cup, so as to realize simultaneous operation of multiple stations and effectively improve the breaking efficiency. In addition, multiple vacuum suction cups circulate on the circular conveyor line with multiple movers in the same direction of movement, which can improve the stability of the vacuum suction cup movement.

[0045] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 In the first aspect, the embodiment of the present invention provides an annular multi-station film breaking device 100 for breaking battery cells (the battery cells described in the present invention are all back-contact flexible module battery cells). It can realize the simultaneous operation of the loading and unloading mechanism 130 and the film breaking mechanism 140, effectively improve the breaking efficiency, and ensure the connection stability between the rotary suction mechanism 150 and the vacuum suction cup 160 on the mover 121 through the vacuum pipeline 170, prevent the vacuum pipeline 170 from falling off, ensure the breaking efficiency, and at the same time avoid the vacuum pipeline 170 from being entangled, knotted, worn, and externally interfered, thereby improving safety.
[0046] It should be noted that the back-contact flexible component battery is a solar cell. In the production process of the back-contact flexible component battery, the cell sheet needs to be split into multiple small pieces first, and then a preset number of small pieces are bonded to the flexible circuit board, with a certain gap between adjacent small pieces, to form a back-contact flexible component battery. In this way, when the back-contact flexible component battery needs to be used, the flexible circuit board is unfolded to achieve the flattening of multiple small pieces, so as to increase the contact area between the small pieces and the sunlight, thereby realizing the photovoltaic power generation function of the back-contact flexible component battery and ensuring the power generation efficiency; when the back-contact flexible component battery is not needed, the flexible circuit board is rolled up for easy storage and saves space. In this process, since there is a certain gap between adjacent small pieces, the small pieces will not interfere with the rolling of the flexible circuit board, which is convenient for the storage of the back-contact flexible component battery.
[0047] In this embodiment, the battery sheet is arranged in a rectangular shape. After the production, the battery sheet is small in size (500mm*500mm), and needs to be broken into multiple small pieces (50mm*50mm), that is, one battery sheet needs to be broken into about 100 small pieces (arranged in a rectangular shape). It is obviously not suitable to break the small pieces of such size and quantity by manual breaking (it is difficult to grasp the force point, it is not easy to break, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, the breaking efficiency is low, the degree of automation is low, and it is not suitable for mass production). Therefore, the annular multi-station film breaking device 100 of the present invention is used to break the battery sheet. However, it is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the size of the battery sheet may be 800mm*800mm, and the size of the small piece may be 40mm*40mm. The size of the battery sheet and the size of the small piece are not specifically limited.

The annular conveyor line 120 includes a plurality of movers 121, and each vacuum suction cup 160 is connected to a mover 121. The annular conveyor line 120 can drive the mover 121 to perform a cyclic annular motion, so as to synchronously drive the vacuum suction cup 160 to perform a cyclic annular motion. A plurality of vacuum suction cups 160 are respectively connected to the rotary suction mechanism 150 through a plurality of vacuum pipelines 170.

The rotary suction mechanism 150 is arranged in the annular conveyor line 120. The rotary suction mechanism 150 is used to rotate with the movement of the mover 121 to ensure the stability of the connection between the rotary suction mechanism 150 and the vacuum suction cup 160 through the vacuum pipeline 170, thereby ensuring the stability of vacuum adsorption. The loading and unloading mechanism 130 and the coating breaking mechanism 140 are arranged outside the annular conveyor line 120, and are arranged in sequence along the conveying direction of the annular conveyor line 120 to prevent the vacuum pipeline 170 from interfering with the loading and unloading mechanism 130 and the coating breaking mechanism 140 during movement. Specifically, the loading and unloading mechanism 130 is used to load the battery cells onto the vacuum suction cup 160; the vacuum suction cup 160 is used to vacuum adsorb the battery cells under the action of the rotating suction mechanism 150 to fix the position of the battery cells and prevent the battery cells from shifting relative to the vacuum suction cup 160; the coating and breaking mechanism 140 is used to coat and break the battery cells adsorbed on the vacuum suction cup 160 to break the battery cells into multiple small pieces; the loading and unloading mechanism 130 is also used to unload the broken battery cells.
