[0049] Specific implementation process and principle description: During welding and assembly, the workstation turntable 1 carries several sets of loading tools 10 for workstation switching. The cover body is loaded at the cover body loading station 2, the negative busbar is pre-assembled at the busbar loading station, the relative position is detected at the assembly inspection station, the welding operation between the cover body and the negative busbar is carried out at the welding station, the welding is inspected at the post-weld inspection station after welding, and then classified and unloaded at the unloading station after passing the internal resistance inspection station.

[0050] Among them, when the cover body 100 and the negative bus plate 200 are pre-assembled and mounted, the disc body is limited and mounted through the disc body loading groove 121, and the eccentric hole positioning part 1210 is used to achieve precise alignment with the eccentric hole position of the disc body, and then the negative bus plate is mounted, and the positioning groove 1221 and the positioning pin 1222 cooperate to meet the mounting positioning accuracy of the negative bus plate, and the relatively overlapping welding parts between the cover body 100 and the negative bus plate 200 are reliably and accurately connected.

[0051] When the cover plate body loading station 2 is loading the cover plate body, the cover plate circulating conveyor rail 21 is used to carry the cover plate body through the cover plate carrier 210 to accurately feed the cover plate body, and the eccentric hole limiting part 2102 on its cover plate loading slot is used to achieve accurate positioning, and the cover plate handling mechanism 22 performs accurate material turnover.

[0052] When the busbar loading station 3 supplies the negative busbar, the busbar circulation conveyor rail 31 is used to supply the negative busbar with high position accuracy, and the contoured loading slot on the busbar carrier 310 is used for high-precision loading and conveying, and the busbar conveying mechanism 32 performs relatively high-precision position transfer. The pre-assembly alignment accuracy is improved.

[0053] When the laser welding mechanism 50 is in operation, the two pre-assembled workpieces are pressed against each other and maintained under pressure by the auxiliary pressing portion 502 , while the laser welding portion 501 performs corresponding welding operations.

[0054] After laser welding, a post-weld inspection is performed by the post-weld inspection mechanism 60 .

[0055] The internal resistance detection station 7 is performed by the internal resistance detection mechanism 70. Specifically, the bottom conductive member 702 is lifted through the through channel to achieve bottom conductive abutment, and the top conductive member 701 is pressed down to be conductive, so as to realize the internal resistance detection after conduction, and reset after the detection is completed.

[0056] When the unloading station 8 performs classified unloading, the unloading and transporting mechanism 83 picks up the materials and places them separately, and transfers them to the good product conveyor belt 81 and the NG unloading belt 82 according to the detection results.

[0057] In a specific embodiment, the cover plate conveying mechanism 22 includes a cover plate negative pressure picking end 220 with linear displacement, lifting displacement and rotational displacement. A visual guidance mechanism 23 for visually guiding the deviation correction and loading is provided on the displacement path of the cover plate negative pressure picking end and is communicated with the cover plate conveying mechanism.

[0058] Specifically, during the transfer process of the cover body 100 picked up by the cover negative pressure picking end 220, the visual guidance mechanism 23 collects the position influence and then adjusts the deviation to guide the loading and make the cover loading position more accurate.

[0059] In a specific embodiment, a secondary positioning base 24 for secondary positioning of the cover plate body is provided between the discharge end of the cover plate circulation conveying rail 21 and the station turntable, and a secondary positioning groove is provided on the secondary positioning base.

[0060] The cover plate transport mechanism 22 includes a first cover plate negative pressure picking end 221 for rotating between the cover plate circulating conveying rail and the secondary positioning base, and a second cover plate negative pressure picking end 222 for rotating between the secondary positioning base and the work station turntable; the first cover plate negative pressure picking end has linear displacement and lifting displacement; the second cover plate negative pressure picking end has linear displacement, lifting displacement and rotational displacement; the visual guidance mechanism is located on the turnover path of the cover plate negative pressure picking end between the secondary positioning base and the work station turntable.

[0061] Specifically, when feeding through the cover plate circulating conveyor rail 21, the cover plate body can provide materials within a certain error accuracy. The first cover plate negative pressure picking end 221 picks up the material and sends it to the secondary positioning groove for secondary positioning such as vibration, so that its relative position is adjusted. After adjustment, it is picked up by the second cover plate negative pressure picking end 222, and possible error fine-tuning is performed through the visual guidance mechanism, thereby ensuring the feeding accuracy of the cover plate body.

[0062] In a specific embodiment, the busbar transport mechanism 32 includes a busbar picking portion 320 with linear displacement and lifting displacement. The busbar picking portion 320 includes at least two busbar negative pressure picking ends 3200 that are spaced apart and have independent lifting displacements. A positioning and shaping fixture 33 for secondary positioning and shaping is provided between the busbar circulation conveying rail and the workstation turntable. The positioning and shaping fixture 33 is provided with a positioning and shaping loading groove that is shaped like the negative electrode busbar.

[0063] Specifically, the negative electrode busbar is a sheet structure, which may be tortuous in itself or during the loading process. The positioning and shaping fixture 33 can be used to achieve top pressure shaping and ensure its position in the positioning and shaping slot, thereby ensuring reliable loading position accuracy.

[0064] In a specific embodiment, the good product conveyor belt includes a finished product conveyor rail 812 with a plurality of finished product peripheral transfer seats 811, and the finished product peripheral transfer seats are provided with finished product limiting loading grooves, so that high-precision feeding of the finished product to the next link can be achieved.

[0065] The unloading and handling mechanism 83 includes a finished product turnover part 830 with linear displacement and lifting displacement. An angle adjustment mechanism 84 is provided on the displacement path of the finished product turnover part. The angle adjustment mechanism includes an angle adjustment seat with rotational displacement, and a finished product storage tank is provided on the angle adjustment seat.

[0066] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, due to space limitations, the material angle of the unloading station 8 is inclined, and direct classification unloading is not conducive to the conveying and supplying of good products or the loading and unloading operation.

[0067] To address this situation, an angle adjustment mechanism 84 is designed. The deflected material picked up by the unloading and transporting mechanism 83 is placed in the finished product storage tank. After the direction is adjusted by rotation, the unloading and transporting mechanism 83 picks it up and loads it onto the finished product limiting loading slot of the finished product peripheral transfer seat 811. This saves space and meets the back-end finished product transportation needs.

[0068] In a specific embodiment, Figures 15 to 17 As shown, an automatic pallet supply device 25 is provided at the loading end of the cover plate circulating conveyor rail, and the automatic pallet supply device includes an automatic pallet supply circulation part 251 and a cover plate feeding turnover mechanism 252 for performing cover plate feeding turnover between the automatic pallet supply circulation part and the cover plate circulating conveyor rail.

[0069] Specifically, the automated pallet supply of the cover body is achieved through the automated pallet supply circulation unit 251, and the cover material loading and unloading mechanism 252 picks up the material thereon and places it on the cover circulation conveyor rail.

[0070] In a specific embodiment, Fig.18 As shown, a collector tray supply device 9 is provided at the loading end of the collector tray circulation conveyor track.

[0071] The convergence plate supply device 9 includes a rotating plate 91 with a plurality of convergence plate revolving seats 910, and a convergence plate loading station 92, a convergence plate coding station 93, a convergence plate code scanning station 94, and a convergence plate unloading station 95 which are sequentially arranged along the direction of the rotating plate.

[0072] The manifold loading station 92 includes a manifold supply mechanism 920 .

[0073] The busbar coding station 93 includes a laser marking mechanism 930 for laser coding.

[0074] The busbar scanning station 94 includes a scanning detection station 940 for scanning and detecting the laser codes.

[0075] The convergence tray unloading station 95 includes an NG unloading mechanism 951 and a qualified product turning mechanism 952. The NG unloading mechanism 951 includes an unloading cabin 9511 and an NG unloading turnover part 9512 for switching displacement between the unloading cabin and the convergence tray turnover seat; the qualified product turning mechanism 952 includes a negative convergence tray turning part 9521 for picking up the negative convergence tray on the convergence tray turnover seat for turning over, and a qualified product turning part 9522 for turning over between the negative convergence tray turning part and the convergence tray circulation conveying rail.

[0076] Specifically, the convergence plate supply mechanism 920 feeds materials to the convergence plate turnover seat 910. After feeding, the materials are laser coded by the laser marking mechanism 930 at the convergence plate coding station 93. After coding, they enter the unloading station after code scanning detection. During unloading, NG products are placed in the unloading chamber 9511 by the NG unloading turnover part 9512, and qualified products are flipped by the negative electrode convergence plate flipping part 9521 and then transferred by the qualified product turnover part 9522.

[0077] In a specific embodiment, Fig.19 and Fig. 20 As shown, the convergence plate supply mechanism 920 includes a clip rotating plate 9201 having a plurality of convergence plate clips, and a material turnover mechanism 9202 for performing material turnover between the discharge end of the clip rotating plate and the convergence plate turnover seat.

[0078] That is, the material is continuously supplied through the clip rotating disk 9201 , and the material turnover mechanism 9202 picks up the material and places it on the collection disk turnover seat 910 of the rotating disk 91 .

[0079] From the above description, it can be found that the efficient and automated welding operation of the negative busbar and the battery cover can be realized, and the operation is smooth and efficient. It has various loading and transportation positioning, so that the pre-assembly accuracy of the negative busbar and the cover body is guaranteed, ensuring reliable and stable welding quality, and significantly improving the product qualification rate. The overall layout is compact and easy to arrange and promote.
