Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of battery production, and in particular to a nail inserting device. Background Art
[0002] In the lithium battery processing and production process, after the battery cell undergoes a high-temperature formation process, it is generally necessary to use a nail insertion device to perform a nail insertion operation on the injection hole at the center of the top of the battery cell to seal the injection hole of the battery cell. At present, the nail insertion device is mainly divided into a linear module nail insertion device and a robot nail insertion device. In the linear module nail insertion device, it generally includes two mounting frames arranged opposite to each other on the left and right, a front and rear linear module, a mounting plate, an upper and lower linear module, a fixed plate and two nail insertion mechanisms, the front and rear linear module is arranged at the top of one of the mounting frames, one end of the mounting plate is arranged at the top of the front and rear linear module, and the other end of the mounting plate is slidably connected to the top of the other mounting frame, the upper and lower linear modules are arranged on one side of the mounting plate, and the fixed plate is arranged on the side of the upper and lower linear modules away from the mounting plate. The two nail insertion mechanisms are arranged at intervals on the left and right and are both arranged on the side of the fixed plate away from the upper and lower linear modules. The front and rear linear modules are used to drive the mounting plate to move forward and backward, thereby driving the upper and lower linear modules, the fixed plate and the two nail insertion mechanisms to move forward and backward, and the upper and lower linear modules are used to drive the fixed plate and the two nail insertion mechanisms to move up and down. The heads of the two glue nails can be inserted into the injection holes of the two battery cells respectively through the upper and lower linear modules and the two nail insertion mechanisms. This structure has two nail insertion mechanisms, and because there are only front and rear linear modules and upper and lower linear modules, the two nail insertion mechanisms cannot move left and right. Therefore, this structure is only suitable for the scene where two rows of battery cells are loaded in the tray, and the spacing between the two nail insertion mechanisms is fixed. When the battery cells of the production line are changed, the spacing between the two nail insertion mechanisms needs to be manually adjusted. However, the space in the device is limited, and the operation is very inconvenient, which increases the change time. At the same time, in order to ensure that the positions of the two nail insertion mechanisms correspond to the positions of the two rows of battery cells in the tray, it is usually necessary to mechanically position the battery cells again through other positioning devices before nail insertion, which increases production time and reduces production efficiency.

[0035] The mechanism mounting plate 30 is arranged at the top of the mechanism support plate 21. The X-axis linear module 40 is arranged on one side of the mechanism mounting plate 30, and the Z-axis linear module 50 is arranged on the side of the X-axis linear module 40 away from the mechanism mounting plate 30 through the Z-axis mounting plate 51.

[0036] The Y-axis linear module 20 is used to drive the mechanism support plate 21 to move forward and backward relative to the two frames 10. The forward and backward movement of the mechanism support plate 21 can drive the mechanism mounting plate 30 to move forward and backward, thereby driving the X-axis linear module 40, the Z-axis linear module 50, the mechanism fixing plate 60, the pin insertion mechanism 70, the camera positioning mechanism 80 and the detection mechanism 90 to move forward and backward. The X-axis linear module 40 is used to drive the Z-axis linear module 50 to move left and right. The left and right movement of the Z-axis linear module 50 can drive the mechanism fixing plate 60 to move left and right, thereby driving the pin insertion mechanism 70, the camera positioning mechanism 80 and the detection mechanism 90 to move left and right. The Z-axis linear module 50 is used to drive the mechanism fixing plate 60 to move up and down.

[0037] Combination Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the nail insertion mechanism 70 includes a nail separation assembly 71, a rotating assembly 73 and a nail clamping assembly 75 connected in sequence from top to bottom, and the nail separation assembly 71 and the rotating assembly 73 are both arranged on a side of the mechanism fixing plate 60 away from the Z-axis linear module 50. The camera positioning mechanism 80 corresponds to the nail separation assembly 71, and the detection mechanism 90 corresponds to the nail clamping assembly 75.
[0038] Specific, combined Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the nail assembly 71 includes a U-shaped nail block 711, a nail pipe 712, a horizontally arranged upper nail cylinder 713, a horizontally arranged lower nail cylinder 714 and a blow pipe 715. The nail block 711 is arranged on the side of the mechanism fixing plate 60 away from the Z-axis linear module 50. An axial nail channel 7111 (i.e., the axial direction of the nail insertion mechanism 70) is provided in the nail block 711. The inner diameter of the nail channel 7111 is slightly larger than the maximum outer diameter of the glue nail 200, so that the glue nail 200 can move downward under its own gravity. The top and bottom ends of the nail block 711 are respectively provided with a first nail installation hole and a second nail installation hole 7112 connected to the nail channel 7111. One end of the nail tube 712 is arranged in the first nail installation hole, and the other end of the nail tube 712 is used to connect with the nail feeding device. The nail tube 712 is connected with the nail channel 7111, and the nail feeding device can continuously feed the glue nail 200 into the nail channel 7111 through the nail tube 712.
[0039] The upper nail cylinder 713 and the lower nail cylinder 714 are both arranged on the side of the mechanism fixing plate 60 away from the Z-axis linear module 50 through an L-shaped nail cylinder seat 7131. The upper nail cylinder 713 and the lower nail cylinder 714 are located on one side of the nail block 711, for example, on the right side of the nail block 711, and the two are arranged with an upper and lower spacing. The nail block 711 is provided with a first nail through hole 7113 and a second nail through hole 7114 connected to the nail channel 7111 on one side close to the upper nail cylinder 713 and the lower nail cylinder 714. The end of the output shaft of the upper nail cylinder 713 extends into the first nail through hole 7113, and the end of the output shaft of the lower nail cylinder 714 extends into the second nail through hole 7114. The upper nail-separating cylinder 713 and the lower nail-separating cylinder 714 can be used to separate the glue nails 200 that are continuously fed into the nail-separating channel 7111 into individual glue nails 200 and send them out. In actual application, the output shaft of the lower nail cylinder 714 is extended so that the end of its output shaft extends into the nail channel 7111 and abuts against the inner wall of the nail channel 7111. After the glue nails 200 are continuously fed into the nail channel 7111 through the nail tube 712 by the nail feeding device, when the head of the first glue nail 200 in the nail channel 7111 abuts against the output shaft of the lower nail cylinder 714, the output shaft of the upper nail cylinder 713 is extended to abut the second glue nail 200 against the inner wall of the nail channel 7111 through the end of the output shaft of the upper nail cylinder 713, and then the output shaft of the lower nail cylinder 714 retracts to its initial position, so that the first glue nail 200 can move downward along the nail channel 711 under its own gravity, and the first glue nail 200 is sent out. After the first glue nail 200 is inserted, the output shaft of the lower nail cylinder 714 extends so that the end of its output shaft extends into the nail channel 7111 and abuts against the inner wall of the nail channel 7111, and at the same time, the output shaft of the upper nail cylinder 713 retracts to its initial position, so that the glue nail 200 in the nail channel 7111 can continue to move downward, and when the head of the second glue nail 200 in the nail channel 7111 abuts against the output shaft of the lower nail cylinder 714, the output shaft of the upper nail cylinder 713 extends to abut the third glue nail 200 against the inner wall of the nail channel 7111 through the end of the output shaft of the upper nail cylinder 713, and then the output shaft of the lower nail cylinder 714 retracts to its initial position, so that the second glue nail 200 can move downward along the nail channel 711 under its own gravity, and the second glue nail 200 is sent out. After the second glue nail 200 is inserted, the aforementioned steps are followed, and the glue nails 200 continuously fed into the nail separation channel 7111 can be divided into individual glue nails 200 and sent out.

The air blowing device can blow air into the nail channel 7111 through the air blowing pipe 715 and the air blowing channel 7115, so that the glue nails 200 in the nail channel 7111 can quickly fall into the rotating shaft 731 of the rotating assembly 73.
[0041] Combination Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the rotating assembly 73 includes a hollow rotating shaft 731 and a driving structure for driving the rotating shaft 731 to rotate. A bearing seat 733 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 731.

The inner diameter of the rotating shaft 731 is the same as the inner diameter of the split nail channel 7111.
[0042] The driving structure includes a rotating motor 7321 and a synchronous belt module. The rotating motor 7321 is arranged on a side of the mechanism fixing plate 60 away from the Z-axis linear module 50 through a motor seat 73211, and is located on one side of the rotating shaft 731, for example, on the left side of the rotating shaft 731. The synchronous belt module includes a driving wheel 7322, a driven wheel 7323, and a synchronous belt 7324 sleeved on the outer periphery of the driving wheel 7322 and the driven wheel 7323.

[0051] In actual operation of the present invention, after the tray loaded with the battery cells enters between the two racks 10 and is positioned, the nail insertion mechanism 70, the camera positioning mechanism 80 and the detection mechanism 90 are all located above the tray. Taking the battery cells in the first row in the tray as an example, the nail insertion mechanism 70, the camera positioning mechanism 80 and the detection mechanism 90 are first driven to move by the Y-axis linear module 20 and the X-axis linear module 40, so that the camera positioning mechanism 80 is located directly above the first battery cell. Then, the camera 83 is used to take a photo of the first battery cell, so as to obtain the position of the first battery cell. Then, the nail feeding device continuously feeds the glue nails 200 into the nail separation channel 7111 through the nail separation pipe 712, and the first glue nail 200 is fed out through the upper nail separation cylinder 713 and the lower nail separation cylinder 714. The first glue nail 200 can fall into the interior of the rotating shaft 731 under its own weight, i.e., along the nail separation channel 7111, and then fall into the nail clamping channel 7511, and then fall into the nail clamping through hole 7513 and be located between the bottoms of the clamping grooves 7553 of the two third connecting parts 755b. In the process of the first glue nail 200 falling into the interior of the rotating shaft 731 along the nail separation channel 7111, the blowing device blows air into the nail separation channel 7111 through the blowing pipe 715 and the blowing channel 7115, so that the first glue nail 200 can quickly fall into the interior of the rotating shaft 731. In the initial state, the ends of the two third connecting parts 755b are away from each other. When the first glue nail 200 falls into the clamping nail through hole 7513 and is located between the bottoms of the clamping grooves 7553 of the two third connecting parts 755b, the photoelectric receiver 7562 cannot receive the infrared light emitted by the photoelectric transmitter 7561, indicating that there is a glue nail 200 between the bottoms of the clamping grooves 7553 of the two third connecting parts 755b. At this time, the two third connecting rods 755 are driven by the clamping nail cylinder 752 to rotate in opposite directions so that the ends of the two third connecting parts 755b are close to each other, so that the first glue nail 200 can be clamped by the bottoms of the clamping grooves 7553 of the two third connecting parts 755b. Fig.10 , Fig.11 As shown, at this time, the head of the first glue nail 200 protrudes from the bottom end of the clamping nail member 751.
[0052] Then, the Y-axis linear module 20 and the X-axis linear module 40 drive the nail insertion mechanism 70, the camera positioning mechanism 80 and the detection mechanism 90 to move according to the position of the first battery cell, so that the clamping nail assembly 75 of the nail insertion mechanism 70 is located directly above the first battery cell. At this time, the clamping nail through hole 7513 of the clamping nail assembly 75 and the first glue nail 200 correspond to the injection hole of the first battery cell, and the camera positioning mechanism 80 is located directly above the second battery cell. Then, the Z-axis linear module 50 drives the nail insertion mechanism 70, the camera positioning mechanism 80 and the detection mechanism 90 to move downward, and at the same time, the rotating motor 7321 drives the rotating shaft 731 to rotate, thereby driving the clamping member 751, the clamping cylinder 752, the first connecting rod 753, the two second connecting rods 754, the two first connecting parts 754a, the two third connecting rods 755, the two second connecting parts 755a, the two third connecting parts 755b and the first glue nail 200 to rotate, and the head of the first glue nail 200 is inserted into the injection hole of the first battery cell by rotating and moving downward. In this way, the first glue nail 200 is inserted into the liquid injection hole. Then, the two third connecting rods 755 are driven to rotate toward each other by the clamping nail cylinder 752, so that the ends of the two third connecting parts 755b are separated from each other, so that the first glue nail 200 can be loosened through the bottom of the clamping groove 7553 of the two third connecting parts 755b, and the nail insertion mechanism 70, the photo positioning mechanism 80 and the detection mechanism 90 are driven to move upward to the initial position by the Z-axis linear module 50, and then the second battery cell is photographed by the camera 83 of the photo positioning mechanism 80, so that the position of the second battery cell can be obtained. Then, the second glue nail 200 is sent out by the upper nail separation cylinder 713 and the lower nail separation cylinder 714, and the nail separation channel 7111 is blown by the blowing device, so that the second glue nail 200 can fall into the interior of the rotating shaft 731 along the nail separation channel 7111 under its own gravity, and then fall into the nail clamping channel 7511, and then fall into the nail clamping through hole 7513 and be located between the bottoms of the clamping grooves 7553 of the two third connecting parts 755b. Then clamp the second glue nail 200 in the aforementioned manner.
[0053] Then, the Y-axis linear module 20 and the X-axis linear module 40 drive the pin insertion mechanism 70, the camera positioning mechanism 80 and the detection mechanism 90 to move according to the obtained position of the second battery cell, so that the clamping nail assembly 75 of the pin insertion mechanism 70 is located directly above the second battery cell. At this time, the clamping nail through hole 7513 of the clamping nail assembly 70 and the second glue nail 200 correspond to the injection hole of the second battery cell, the camera positioning mechanism 80 is located directly above the third battery cell, and the detection mechanism 90 is located directly above the first battery cell. Then, the head of the second glue nail 200 is inserted into the injection hole of the second battery cell in the above manner. In the process of driving the detection mechanism 90 to move downward by the Z-axis linear module 50, when the bottom end of the detection hammer 95 contacts the end of the first glue nail 200 in the injection hole of the first battery cell, as the detection hammer 95 continues to move, the detection hammer 95 will push the movable rod 93 to move upward, thereby driving the shading sheet 96 to move upward, and the elastic member 94 is compressed. When the head of the second glue nail 200 is inserted into the injection hole of the second battery cell, if the other end of the shading sheet 96 is located in the groove 97a of the upper photoelectric sensor 97 at this time, the shading sheet 96 can be sensed by the upper photoelectric sensor 97, indicating that the injection of the first battery cell is completed. The height dimension of the first glue nail 200 in the liquid hole is qualified, and the nail insertion action can continue. Then, the two third connecting rods 755 are driven to rotate toward each other through the nail clamping cylinder 752, so that the ends of the two third connecting parts 755b are separated from each other. In this way, the second glue nail 200 can be loosened through the bottom of the clamping groove 7553 of the two third connecting parts 755b. At the same time, the nail insertion mechanism 70, the photo positioning mechanism 80 and the detection mechanism 90 are driven to move upward to the initial position through the Z-axis linear module 50, and then the camera 83 of the photo positioning mechanism 80 is used to take a photo of the third battery cell, so as to obtain the position of the third battery cell. In the process of the detection mechanism 90 moving upward, when the nail detection hammer 95 is separated from the end of the first glue nail 200, under the reset action of the elastic member 94, the nail detection hammer 95, the movable rod 93, and the light shielding sheet 96 can be driven to move downward to the initial position. At this time, the other end of the light shielding sheet 96 returns to the groove 98a of the lower photoelectric sensor 98. Then, the third glue nail 200 is sent out by the upper nail separation cylinder 713 and the lower nail separation cylinder 714, and the nail separation channel 7111 is blown by the blowing device, so that the third glue nail 200 can fall into the interior of the rotating shaft 731 along the nail separation channel 7111 under its own weight, and then fall into the clamping nail channel 7511, and then fall into the clamping nail through hole 7513 and be located between the bottoms of the clamping grooves 7553 of the two third connecting parts 755b. Then, the third glue nail 200 is clamped in the above manner. Then, according to the above steps, the head of the third glue nail 200 is inserted into the injection hole of the third battery cell, and the height dimension of the second glue nail 200 in the injection hole of the second battery cell is detected by the detection mechanism 90, and the fourth battery cell is photographed and positioned by the camera positioning mechanism 80.This process is repeated until the height of the glue nail in the injection hole of the last battery cell in the first column is detected. Then, the injection holes of the batteries in all the remaining columns are nailed according to the above steps.
[0054] During the process of detecting the height dimension of the first glue nail 200 in the liquid injection hole of the first battery cell by the detection mechanism 90, if the other end of the shading sheet 96 is located below or above the groove 97a of the upper photoelectric sensor 97, the shading sheet 96 will not be sensed by the upper photoelectric sensor 97, indicating that the height dimension of the first glue nail 200 in the liquid injection hole of the first battery cell is unqualified, and an alarm is issued to notify the operator to stop the machine.

Therefore, it can be applied to the scene where a plurality of columns of battery cells such as one column, two columns, and three columns are loaded in the tray. It has a wide range of applications and can meet the needs of multiple scenes. When the battery cells of the production line are changed, there is no need to perform the changeover adjustment operation, which reduces the changeover time. At the same time, the battery cells can be photographed and positioned before the nails are inserted through the provided photographing and positioning mechanism 80, and there is no need to mechanically position the battery cells for secondary positioning through other positioning devices, which reduces the production time and improves the production efficiency.
