Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of welding technology, and in particular to a fully automatic device for welding aluminum busbars and nickel sheets. Background Technology

[0002] In the welding process of aluminum positive electrode tabs for lithium-ion batteries, a nickel sheet is often welded to the lead-out end of the lithium-ion battery, and then the lithium-ion battery is electrically connected by soldering the nickel sheet. This avoids problems such as poor soldering or desoldering during the aluminum-to-nickel welding process, thus enabling the testing and use of lithium-ion batteries. Moreover, there are two basic methods for the existing aluminum-to-nickel technology of positive electrode tabs in lithium-ion batteries. One method is that during the manufacturing process of aluminum electrode tabs, the electrode tab manufacturer welds the nickel sheet to the positive electrode tab using a laser welding machine to produce individual aluminum-to-nickel tabs. The other method is that the aluminum electrode tab is not subjected to the aluminum-to-nickel process at the electrode tab manufacturer and is directly produced as an individual aluminum electrode tab. After the battery manufacturer uses this type of electrode tab to produce battery cells, the aluminum-to-nickel process is then carried out using a metal ultrasonic welding machine or a laser welding machine.

[0003] Chinese patent CN116586767A relates to the field of battery aluminum busbar welding technology, specifically an automatic welding device for nickel sheets on battery aluminum busbars. The device includes a pallet transport plane and a battery aluminum busbar tray. The battery aluminum busbar tray is placed on the pallet transport plane and includes an upper clamping plate and a lower clamping plate for holding the thin aluminum sheet to be welded. The upper clamping plate has a welding through-hole and a nickel sheet groove, the welding through-hole intersecting with the nickel sheet groove. The nickel sheet groove is used to place the nickel sheet to be welded, and the welding through-hole exposes the thin aluminum sheet to be welded. A three-way sliding assembly and a pulsed laser are located directly above the pallet transport plane. The three-way sliding assembly controls the spatial position of the pulsed laser, and the beam emission direction of the pulsed laser corresponds to the intersection of the welding through-hole and the nickel sheet groove. This invention provides a solution for automated welding of thin battery aluminum busbar tabs and nickel sheet tabs.

[0004] Although the aforementioned patent achieves automated welding of aluminum busbar tabs and nickel sheet tabs for thin batteries, the pass rate of welded parts is checked manually after welding. Manual inspection is usually only effective for defects that are visible on the surface of the parts and cannot observe the welding process in detail. Existing inspection equipment lacks more refined defect detection measures, resulting in poor inspection effect and efficiency for aluminum busbar and nickel sheet welded parts. Summary of the Invention

Two symmetrical supports are fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the functional groove. A long rod is movably connected to the opposite side of each of the two supports, and a slider is movably connected to the end of each long rod away from the support. Two symmetrical sliding grooves are formed at the bottom of the pressure plate, and the inner walls of the two sliding grooves are slidably connected to the outside of the two sliders.

A motor is fixedly connected to the top inner wall of the isolation cover. The output end of the motor is connected to one side of the transmission rod via a coupling. Both baffles have slots on their upper sides, and short shafts are fixedly connected to the bottom inner walls of both slots. Both guide plates have holes at their bottom, and the inner walls of these holes are movably connected to the outside of the two short shafts.

[0009] By incorporating a defect detection and processing module, which utilizes an ultrasonic instrument and a guide plate, the device can perform more detailed detection of hidden defects on ship parts, improving the device's identification and detection accuracy. Furthermore, the guide plate can quickly separate defective products from good products, reducing the impact on the entire process.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the attitude adjustment module includes a conveyor plate. A support rod is fixedly connected to one side of the conveyor plate. The side of the support rod away from the conveyor plate is fixedly connected to one side of a support platform. Two symmetrical inclined plates are fixedly connected to the side of the conveyor plate away from the support rod. Each inclined plate has a receiving groove at its bottom, and an adjusting rod is slidably connected in each receiving groove. The conveyor plate also has two symmetrical sliding grooves, and fixed seats are slidably connected in each sliding groove. The two fixed seats are fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two adjusting rods. A fixed seat is fixedly connected to the side of the conveyor plate near the support platform. A groove is opened on the fixed seat, and a round rod is movably connected in the groove. Two eccentric parts are fixedly connected to the outside of the round rod. The two eccentric parts are located below two actuating plates, and the outside of one of the eccentric parts is in contact with the outside of the actuating plate on the same side. A second motor is fixedly connected to one side of the conveyor plate, and the output end of the second motor is connected to one side of the round rod through a coupling.

[0011] By incorporating an attitude adjustment module, which utilizes an adjustment rod and a slanted panel, the device can effectively adjust the attitude of moving parts uniformly. This allows for more efficient use of packaging space during subsequent packaging and transportation of parts, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing arrangement of the parts.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the rapid packing module includes a fixed frame, within which an isolation cylinder is installed. Multiple circumferentially spaced casters are fixedly connected to the bottom of the isolation cylinder, with the outer surfaces of the casters fitting against the inner bottom wall of the fixed frame.

[0013] Equipped with a rapid packing module, which utilizes hydraulic rods and motors to achieve directional movement of the packing box, the packing box can be moved more accurately and quickly during the parts packing process. The steerable platform greatly reduces the range of movement of the packing box during packing, reduces the footprint of the device during deployment, and improves space utilization.

[0014] A smart inspection method for aluminum busbar and nickel sheet welded parts, using a fully automated device for welding aluminum busbars and nickel sheets as described above, includes the following steps:

[0028] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0029] The fully automated equipment for welding aluminum busbars and nickel sheets disclosed in this invention is mainly used in scenarios where defect inspection results are poor and efficiency is low.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-8A fully automatic device for welding aluminum busbars and nickel sheets includes a support platform 1. The bottom of the support platform 1 is bolted with multiple symmetrical column legs 2, and the upper side of the support platform 1 is bolted with multiple mutually symmetrical brackets 11. Two brackets 11 on the same plane have thin shafts rotatably connected to opposite sides via bearings. A drive motor 10 is mounted on one side of one of the thin shafts, and the output end of the drive motor 10 is connected to one side of the thin shaft via a coupling. Both thin shafts are bolted with transmission rollers 3, and a common conveyor belt 4 is mounted on the outside of the two transmission rollers 3. Baffles 5 are mounted on both sides of the conveyor belt 4, and the bottoms of the two baffles 5 are flush with the upper side of the support platform 1. The sides are connected by bolts. A defect detection and processing module 6 is set above the support platform 1. The defect detection and processing module 6 includes a pressure plate 611. The upper side of the pressure plate 611 is attached to the top inner wall of the conveyor belt 4. A sensor 623 is set below the pressure plate 611. A resistance rod 624 is bolted to one side of the sensor 623. A probe ring 625 is slidably connected to the outside of the resistance rod 624. An ultrasonic instrument 603 is set above the conveyor belt 4. An attitude adjustment module 7 is set outside the conveyor belt 4. The attitude adjustment module 7 is located on one side of the support platform 1. A quick packing module 8 is set on one side of the support platform 1. The quick packing module 8 is located below the attitude adjustment module 7.

[0031] Specifically, when the conveyor belt 4 transports the parts to the defect detection and processing module 6, the defect detection and processing module 6 will detect defects such as weight and cracks in the parts, and move the detected defective parts to the recycling bin 9. The detected parts fall into the attitude adjustment module 7 during the conveyor belt 4. Through the attitude adjustment module 7, the rod-shaped parts fall vertically. Through the adjustment of the quick packing module 8, the falling parts will enter the empty spaces in the packaging box in sequence until the packaging box is full. The device can effectively improve the identification and inspection capability of defects and flawed products of aluminum busbar nickel sheet welded parts by using the defect detection and processing module 6, reduce the impact of errors caused by manual inspection on the product quality reputation, ensure the part inspection efficiency of the device, and improve the quality reputation of automatically welded products.

[0032] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5In a preferred embodiment, the two baffles 5 are bolted to the same mounting plate 601 on opposite sides. The mounting plate 601 is located between the two transmission rollers 3. A functional groove 610 is provided on the upper side of the mounting plate 601. A pressure plate 611 is slidably connected in the functional groove 610. Multiple symmetrical springs 612 are bolted to the side of the pressure plate 611 opposite to the inner wall of the functional groove 610. Two symmetrical supports 613 are bolted to the bottom inner wall of the functional groove 610. Long rods 614 are rotatably connected to the opposite sides of the two supports 613 via bearings. Slider 616 are rotatably connected to the ends of the two long rods 614 away from the supports 613 via bearings. The bottom of the pressure plate 611 has two symmetrical sliding grooves 615. The inner walls of the two sliding grooves 615 are slidably connected to the outer sides of two sliders 616. The bottom inner wall of the functional groove 610 has two symmetrical sliding grooves 617. Slider 618 is slidably connected in each of the two sliding grooves 617. Long rods 619 are rotatably connected to the opposite side of each slider 618 via bearings. Supports 620 are rotatably connected to the ends of the two long rods 619 away from the sliders 618 via bearings. The upper sides of the two supports 620 are bolted to the bottom of the pressure plate 611. The positions of the long rods 619 and 614 on the same side are staggered. Both rods 619 have small holes, and a common shaft 621 is rotatably connected to the holes via bearings. A common movable part 622 is rotatably connected to the opposite side of the two rods 619 via bearings. The movable part 622 is bolted to the opposite side of the sensor 623. The bottom of the probe ring 625 is bolted to the bottom inner wall of the functional slot 610. A common fixing frame 602 is bolted to one side of the two baffles 5. The fixing frame 602 has slots, and the inner wall of the slots is bolted to the outside of the ultrasonic instrument 603. A connecting plate 604 is bolted to one side of the fixing frame 602. A transmission rod 609 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 604 via bearings. A connector 608 is rotatably connected to the end away from the connecting plate 604 via a bearing. Two symmetrical guide plates 607 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the connector 608 via bearings. An isolation cover 605 is bolted to the upper side of the connecting plate 604. A motor 606 is bolted to the inner top wall of the isolation cover 605. The output end of the motor 606 is connected to one side of the transmission rod 609 via a coupling. A slot is provided on the upper side of both baffles 5. A short shaft is bolted to the inner bottom wall of both slots. A hole is provided at the bottom of both guide plates 607. The inner wall of the two holes is rotatably connected to the outside of the two short shafts via bearings. A recycling box 9 is bolted to one side of the support platform 1.

[0033] Specifically, when the part reaches the pressure plate 611 under the conveyor belt 4, the weight of the part will press down the pressure plate 611, causing the sliders 616 and 618 in the first slide 615 and the second slide 617 to slide. Under the constraint of the shaft 621, the angle between the long rod 614 and the long rod 619 gradually decreases, so that the pressure plate 611 can overcome the elastic force of the spring 612 and descend. The moving slider 618 will drive the connected movable part 622 to slide, causing the resistance rod 624 on the sensor 623 connected to the movable part 622 to move, thereby causing the fixed probe ring 625 and the resistance rod 618 to move. 24 generates relative movement. Sensor 623 receives the changes in current and resistance generated on resistor rod 624 and probe ring 625 and quickly processes them into part weight data. Ultrasonic instrument 603 performs ultrasonic imaging on the part as it passes by, and detects cracks on the part. When the device detects a defective part, motor 606 is started. Motor 606 drives transmission rod 609 to rotate in the direction of recycling box 9, so that connector 608 connected to transmission rod 609 can drive two guide plates 607 to rotate in the same direction. Guide plates 607 guide the defective part to the recycling box 9 for storage as the conveyor belt 4 moves.

[0034] In specific application scenarios, the defect detection and processing module 6 is mainly applicable to the defect detection and processing stage in the defect detection and processing process. That is, the defect detection and processing module 6 uses the ultrasonic instrument 603 and the guide plate 607 to improve the device's ability to perform more detailed detection of hidden defects on ship parts, improve the device's identification and detection accuracy, and use the guide plate 607 to guide the defective products to quickly separate them from the good products, reducing the impact on the entire process.

[0035] Reference Figure 6In a preferred embodiment, the attitude adjustment module 7 includes a conveyor plate 701. A support rod 702 is bolted to one side of the conveyor plate 701. The side of the support rod 702 away from the conveyor plate 701 is bolted to one side of the support platform 1. Two symmetrical inclined plates 703 are bolted to the side of the conveyor plate 701 away from the support rod 702. Each inclined plate 703 has a receiving groove 704 at its bottom, and an adjusting rod 705 is slidably connected within each receiving groove 704. Two symmetrical sliding grooves 706 are formed on the conveyor plate 701, and a fixed seat 708 is slidably connected within each sliding groove 706. The two fixed seats 708... The two adjusting rods 705 are respectively connected by bolts on the opposite side. The side of the conveying plate 701 near the support platform 1 is connected by bolts to a fixed seat 708. The fixed seat 708 has a groove. A round rod 709 is rotatably connected in the groove through a bearing. Two eccentric parts 710 are connected to the outside of the round rod 709 by bolts. The two eccentric parts 710 are located below the two actuating plates 707 respectively, and the outside of one of the eccentric parts 710 is in contact with the outside of the actuating plate 707 on the same side. A second motor 711 is connected to one side of the conveying plate 701 by bolts. The output end of the second motor 711 is connected to one side of the round rod 709 through a coupling.

[0036] Specifically, after the good parts are conveyed to the conveyor plate 701 by the conveyor belt 4, they fall down the inclined surface of the conveyor plate 701. After the end of the part contacts the inclined surface of the inclined panel 703, it continues to fall down along the guide of the inclined surface of the inclined panel 703 until it falls vertically into the gap between the two inclined panels 703. When a part is stuck horizontally on the conveyor plate 701, the second motor 711 is started. The second motor 711 drives the round rod 709 to rotate, so that the two eccentric parts 710 on the round rod 709 can rotate continuously and contact the actuating plate 707. As the eccentric parts 710 push, the actuating plate 707 can drive the adjusting rod 705 to extend and retract intermittently from the receiving groove 704, so that the adjusting rod 705 can push open the part stuck in the part, allowing the part to fall smoothly.

[0037] In specific application scenarios, the attitude adjustment module 7 is mainly used in the attitude adjustment process. That is, the attitude adjustment module 7 can effectively adjust the attitude of the moving parts in the device by using the adjustment rod 705 and the inclined plate 703, so that the device can make more effective use of the packaging space when packaging and transporting the parts in the later stage, and make the arrangement of the parts more beautiful.

[0038] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8In a preferred embodiment, the rapid packing module 8 includes a fixed frame 801, an isolation cylinder 802 is disposed inside the fixed frame 801, and a plurality of circumferentially spaced casters 803 are bolted to the bottom of the isolation cylinder 802. The outer sides of the casters 803 are in contact with the inner bottom wall of the fixed frame 801, and a platform 804 is bolted to the upper side of the isolation cylinder 802. The upper side of the platform 804 has a hole, and a support 805 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the hole through a bearing. An anti-slip pad 806 is bolted to the upper side of the support 805, and a packaging box 807 is disposed on the upper side of the anti-slip pad 806. A grid 808 is bolted to the inner wall of the packaging box 807. Rectangular grooves 809 are formed on two mutually perpendicular inner walls of the inner wall of 801. Follower blocks 810 are slidably connected in the rectangular grooves 809. Hydraulic rods 811 are bolted to the follower blocks 810. The output ends of the two hydraulic rods 811 are bolted to the outside of the isolation cylinder 802. A motor 812 is bolted to the bottom inner wall of the isolation cylinder 802. The output end of the motor 812 is connected to the bottom of the support 805 through a coupling. Multiple circumferentially spaced columns 813 are bolted to the bottom inner wall of the isolation cylinder 802. Ball bearings 814 are provided on the upper side of each column 813. The outer side of each ball bearing 814 is in contact with the bottom of the support 805.

[0039] Specifically, before the parts fall from the conveyor plate 701, the hydraulic rod 811 is activated. The output end of the hydraulic rod 811 extends and retracts to push and pull the platform 804 connected to the isolation cylinder 802 to move laterally and longitudinally on the fixed frame 801, so that the receiving holes on the grids 808 in the packaging box 807 placed on the anti-slip mat 806 can accurately receive the falling parts. After the two rows of grids 808 near the conveyor plate 701 are filled with parts in sequence, the motor 812 is activated. The motor 812 drives the support platform 805 to rotate 180 degrees and adjusts the hydraulic rod 811 so that the remaining grids 808 on the packaging box 807 can face the conveyor plate 701, so that the remaining empty grids 808 can continue to be filled with parts. After the packaging box 807 is full, a new packaging box 807 is replaced.

[0040] In specific application scenarios, the rapid packing module 8 is mainly suitable for the rapid packing stage in the rapid packing process. That is, the rapid packing module 8 uses hydraulic rods 811 and motors 812 to realize the directional movement of the packaging box 807, so that the packaging box 807 can be more accurate and faster in the parts packing process. The steerable support platform 805 greatly reduces the movement range of the packaging box 807 during packing, reduces the footprint of the device during deployment, and improves the space utilization rate.

[0041] A smart inspection method for aluminum busbar and nickel sheet welded parts, using a fully automated device for welding aluminum busbars and nickel sheets as described above, includes the following steps:

[0042] Step 1: Perform defect testing and inspection on the aluminum-nickel sheet welded parts conveyed on conveyor belt 4. (When the parts reach the position of pressure plate 611 under the conveyor belt 4, the weight of the parts will press down on pressure plate 611, causing slider 616 and slider 618 in slide 615 and slide 617 to slide. Under the constraint of shaft 621, the angle between long rod 614 and long rod 619 gradually decreases, so that pressure plate 611 can overcome the elastic force of spring 612 and descend. The moving slider 618 will drive the connected movable part 622 to slide, causing the resistance rod 624 on sensor 623 connected to movable part 622 to move, thereby fixing...) The probe ring 625 and the resistor rod 624 move relative to each other. The sensor 623 receives the changes in current and resistance generated on the resistor rod 624 and the probe ring 625 and quickly processes them into part weight data. The ultrasonic instrument 603 performs ultrasonic imaging on the part as it passes by and detects cracks on the part. When the device detects a defective part, it starts the motor 606. The motor 606 drives the transmission rod 609 to rotate in the direction of the recycling box 9, so that the connector 608 connected to the transmission rod 609 can drive the two guide plates 607 to rotate in the same direction. The guide plates 607 guide the defective part to the recycling box 9 for storage as the conveyor belt 4 moves.

[0043] Step 2: Adjust the placement of the inspected parts (After the good parts are conveyed to the conveyor plate 701 by the conveyor belt 4, they fall down along the inclined surface of the conveyor plate 701. After the end of the part contacts the inclined surface of the inclined panel 703, it continues to fall down along the guide of the inclined surface of the inclined panel 703 until it falls vertically through the gap between the two inclined panels 703. When a part is stuck horizontally on the conveyor plate 701, the second motor 711 is started. The second motor 711 drives the round rod 709 to rotate, so that the two eccentric parts 710 on the round rod 709 can rotate continuously and contact the actuating plate 707. As the eccentric parts 710 push, the actuating plate 707 can drive the adjusting rod 705 to extend and retract from the receiving groove 704 at intervals, so that the adjusting rod 705 can push open the part stuck in the part and let the part fall smoothly).

[0044] Step 3: Quickly pack the inspected parts into boxes (before the parts fall from the conveyor plate 701, activate the hydraulic rod 811. The output end of the hydraulic rod 811 extends and retracts to push and pull the platform 804 connected to the isolation cylinder 802 to move laterally and longitudinally on the fixed frame 801, so that the receiving holes on the grids 808 in the packaging box 807 placed on the anti-slip mat 806 can accurately receive the falling parts. After the two rows of grids 808 near the conveyor plate 701 are filled with parts in sequence, activate the motor 812. The motor 812 drives the support platform 805 to rotate 180 degrees and adjust the hydraulic rod 811 so that the remaining grids 808 on the packaging box 807 can face the conveyor plate 701, so that the remaining empty grids 808 can continue to be filled with parts. After the packaging box 807 is full, replace it with a new packaging box 807).
