[0021] The present invention is further explained below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] A battery flower arrangement device, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a battery alignment mechanism 1, a battery transfer mechanism 2, a battery transport chain mechanism 3, and a PLC control mechanism. The PLC control mechanism is connected to the battery alignment mechanism 1, the battery transfer mechanism 2, and the battery transport chain mechanism 3 respectively. The PLC control mechanism is the control center of the alignment equipment, which controls the operation, detection, and docking coordination between the battery alignment mechanism 1, the battery transfer mechanism 2, and the battery transport chain mechanism 3. The battery alignment mechanism 1 is docked with the battery transfer mechanism 2, and the battery transfer mechanism 2 is docked with the battery transport chain mechanism 3. Docking can be understood as the battery completing the alignment step in the alignment mechanism, and then The battery is then transferred to the battery transfer mechanism 2. The battery transfer mechanism 2 is a battery transfer device, which can dock the successfully aligned batteries onto the battery transport chain mechanism 3 for arrangement in preparation for the next process. The specific workflow is that the batteries enter the battery alignment mechanism 1 for alignment adjustment, and after adjustment, they are docked and enter the battery transfer mechanism 2. After the battery transfer mechanism 2 is operated, they enter the battery transport chain mechanism 3 for arrangement. A battery guide plate 4 is provided at the docking point between the battery alignment mechanism 1 and the battery transfer mechanism 2. The setting of the battery guide plate 4 assists the battery to enter the battery transfer mechanism 2 from the battery alignment mechanism 1 more easily.

[0023] The battery alignment mechanism 1 includes an alignment adjustment disk device 11, an alignment transition disk device 12, a guide rod disk device 13, an alignment rotating shaft 14, an encoder device 15, a coupling 16, and a servo motor A. Figure 2As shown, the flower alignment adjustment disk device 11, the flower alignment transition disk device 12 and the guide rod disk device 13 are sequentially sleeved on the flower alignment rotating shaft 14 and fixedly connected thereto. It can be understood that the flower alignment adjustment disk device 11, the flower alignment transition disk device 12 and the guide rod disk device 13 are synchronously rotated and their rotation speeds are the same. The flower alignment rotating shaft 14 is transmission-connected to the servo motor A, that is, the servo motor A drives the flower alignment rotating shaft 14 to rotate. The encoder device 15 is arranged on one end of the flower alignment rotating shaft 14 through the coupling 16, which can be understood as the encoder device The function of 15 is to monitor the speed and rotation angle of the flower alignment rotating shaft 14, and transmit the detected relevant data to the PLC control mechanism. The servo motor A, the flower alignment transition plate device 12, the flower alignment adjustment plate device 11, and the encoder device 15 are all electrically connected to the PLC control mechanism. It can be understood that the PLC control mechanism coordinates and controls the received speed of the flower alignment rotating shaft 14, so that the flower alignment transition plate device 12 and the flower alignment adjustment plate device 11 cooperate with the guide rod plate device 13 within the specified rotation angle to complete the flower alignment step. The device 11 is evenly provided with a plurality of adjusting guide rod devices 17 movably connected thereto in the circumferential direction, the flower transition plate device 12 is evenly provided with a plurality of battery transition stations 18 and a plurality of battery flower alignment stations 19 in the circumferential direction, and the guide rod plate device 13 is evenly provided with a plurality of guide rod pushing devices 110 movably connected thereto in the circumferential direction, and the battery transition stations 18, the battery flower alignment stations 19, the adjusting guide rod devices 17 and the guide rod pushing devices 110 are the same in number and are arranged one by one, and the one-to-one corresponding arrangement can be understood as one battery transition station 18, one A battery alignment station 19, an adjustment guide rod device 17, and a guide rod pushing device 110 cooperate with each other to complete an alignment process. Specifically, after the battery enters the battery transition station 18, a guide rod pushing device 110 pushes the battery into a battery alignment station 19 within a specified rotation angle. At this time, an adjustment guide rod device 17 will support the battery at the other end of the battery, cooperate with a guide rod pushing device 110 to clamp the battery, and then adjust the battery pattern to a specified angle according to the control of the PLC control mechanism.

[0024] The adjusting guide rod device 17 includes a rotating guide rod 171, a servo motor B, a bearing guide rod 172, and an adjusting cam 173. Figure 3 As shown, the bearing guide rod 172 is evenly arranged on the circumference of the flower adjustment disk device 11 and is movably connected thereto. It can be understood that the bearing guide rod 172 can slide back and forth along the length direction of the bearing guide rod 172 on the flower adjustment disk device 11. The adjusting cam 173 is sleeved on the flower rotation shaft 14 and is clearance-matched therewith. It can be understood that the flower rotation shaft 14 can freely rotate on the adjusting cam 173. The clearance match here can be understood as long as the adjusting cam 173 does not affect the rotation of the flower rotation shaft 14. An S-bend adjustment channel 174 is provided on the inner wall circumference of the adjusting cam 173, as shown in FIG. Figure 6As shown, the bearing guide rods 172 are all connected to the S-bend adjustment channel 174, which can be understood as the S-bend adjustment channel 174 is a channel for guiding the bearing guide rod 172 to slide, and the bearing guide rod 172 slides back and forth under the guidance of the S-bend adjustment channel 174 during the rotation of the flower adjustment disk device 11. A servo motor B and a rotating guide rod 171 are provided on a bearing guide rod 172, and a servo motor B and a rotating guide rod 171 are transmission-connected. It can be understood that the servo motor B controls the rotation of the rotating guide rod 171. Specifically, when the rotating guide rod 171 rotates, it can drive the battery to rotate together to adjust the direction of the battery pattern. A rotating guide rod 171 and a battery flower alignment Station 19 is set accordingly, and the servo motor B and the PLC control mechanism are electrically connected. The PLC control mechanism controls the servo motor B to complete the alignment rotation within a specified angle, and specifically controls the rotation angle of the battery. Because the pattern of each battery is different, the rotation angle of the battery needs to be identified in the battery alignment station 19, and the identified pattern is transmitted to the PLC control mechanism. A docking groove 175 is provided in the working end face of the rotating guide rod 171, and the opening diameter of the docking groove is larger than the bottom diameter. The purpose of setting the docking groove 175 is that when the battery is pushed by the guide rod pushing device 110 to dock with the rotating guide rod 171, a groove with a larger opening can be more easily docked to the battery to improve the docking efficiency.

[0025] The flower alignment transition plate device 12 includes a flower alignment adapter plate 121 and a flower alignment detection plate 122. Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of battery transition stations 18 are provided on the circumference of the alignment adapter disk 121, and a plurality of battery alignment stations 19 are provided on the circumference of the alignment detection disk 122. It can be understood that the battery first enters the alignment adapter disk 121 from the outside, and then is pushed into the battery alignment station 19 of the alignment detection disk 122. A laser sensor 191 is provided in each battery alignment station 19. The battery entering the battery alignment station 19 will be scanned by the laser sensor 191 and the surface pattern will be identified. The plurality of laser sensors 191 are electrically connected to the PLC control mechanism, and the pattern identified and sensed by the laser sensor 191 will be transmitted to the PLC control mechanism.

[0026] The guide rod disk device 13 includes a carrier disk 131 and a guide cam 132. The guide cam 132 is cylindrical. The carrier disk 131 is arranged in the guide cam 132. It can be understood that the carrier disk 131 can rotate freely in the guide cam 132. The carrier disk 131 is evenly provided with a plurality of guide rod pushers 110 movably connected thereto on the circumference of the carrier disk 131. It can be understood that the guide rod pusher 110 can slide back and forth freely along the length direction of the guide rod pusher 110 on the circumference of the carrier disk 131. The guide cam 132 is sleeved on the flower-aligning rotating shaft 14 and is in clearance fit therewith. It can be understood that the guide cam 132 does not affect the rotation of the flower-aligning rotating shaft 14. The inner wall of the guide cam 132 is provided with an S-bend guide channel 13 3. The guide rod pushing device 110 is docked in the S-bend guide channel 133. The setting of the S-bend guide channel 133 enables the guide rod pushing device 110 to slide back and forth during the rotation process. The S-bend guide channel 133 and the S-bend adjustment channel 174 are mutually linked. Specifically, when the S-bend guide channel 133 pushes the guide rod pushing device 110 toward the battery alignment station 19, the S-bend adjustment channel 174 will also push the rotating guide rod 171 toward the battery alignment station 19. Finally, the rotating guide rod 171 and the guide rod pushing device 110 can clamp the battery entering the battery alignment station 19 at the specified position. After the battery is clamped, the battery rotates during the rotation process to complete the alignment adjustment.

[0027] The guide rod pushing device 110 includes a pushing guide rod 111 and a spring 112. The pushing guide rod 111 is arranged on the guide rod disk device 13 and is movably connected thereto. The pushing guide rod 111 is sleeved with a spring 112. One end of the spring 112 is connected to the pushing guide rod 111, and the other end is connected to the guide rod disk device 13. The purpose of setting the spring 112 is to make the pushing guide rod 111 have a certain elasticity. When the pushing battery moves and the rotating guide rod 171 is docked, it has a certain elasticity under the action of the spring 112, which can make the battery docking more firmly. In addition, the use of the spring 112 can avoid setting a very high docking accuracy, reduce the production line cost, and better protect the quality of the battery.

[0028] The battery transfer mechanism 2 includes a transfer mechanism shaft 21, a transfer mechanism turntable device 22, a transfer adsorption device 23, and a plane cam 24. Figure 5As shown, the plane cam 24 is a special shape, which can be understood as the plane cam 24 is provided with a groove at the joint of the transfer adsorption device 23 and the battery transport chain mechanism 3, and a convex block is provided in front of the joint of the transfer adsorption device 23 and the battery transport chain mechanism 3. The plane cam 24 of this mechanism enables each transfer adsorption device 23 to dock the battery to the battery transport chain mechanism 3 at the place where it docks with the battery transport chain mechanism 3. The transfer mechanism shaft 21 and the battery alignment mechanism 1 are connected by gear transmission. It can be understood that the battery transfer mechanism 2 is also driven to rotate by the servo motor A. The battery transfer mechanism 2 and the battery alignment mechanism 1 only need to complete synchronous rotation. When the power of a servo motor A is sufficient, There is no need to use another power device to drive the battery transfer mechanism 2 to operate, which can save the cost of the production line. However, if necessary, another power device can be used to independently control the rotation of the battery transfer mechanism 2. At this time, it is necessary to achieve coordination through a PLC control mechanism. The transfer mechanism turntable device 22 is sleeved on the transfer mechanism shaft 21 and fixedly connected thereto. It can be understood that the transfer mechanism turntable device 22 rotates with the transfer mechanism shaft 21. Planar cams 24 are respectively provided on both sides of the transfer mechanism turntable device 22. It can be understood that a planar cam 24 is provided on both sides of the transfer mechanism turntable device 22. Due to the working space problem of the transfer adsorption device 23, if only one planar cam 24 is provided for the transfer adsorption device 23, The sparse arrangement required affects the work efficiency. The two planar cams 24 are arranged correspondingly. It can be understood that the two planar cams 24 are arranged at the same angle. Their function is to guide the transfer adsorption device 23. Due to space problems, two planar cams 24 need to be arranged. The two planar cams 24 are respectively sleeved on the transfer mechanism shaft 21 and matched with its clearance, that is, the two planar cams 24 do not affect the rotation of the transfer mechanism shaft 21. The transfer mechanism turntable device 22 is evenly provided with a plurality of transfer adsorption devices 23 on the circumference. The plurality of transfer adsorption devices 23 are cross-docked at intervals on the two planar cams 24. It can be understood that because the number of transfer adsorption devices 23 is large, the transfer adsorption devices 23 are docked with the planar cam 24 on one side. It will affect each other or the sparse setting will affect the work efficiency. The interlaced setting means that the adjacent transfer adsorption devices 23 are docked on two different plane cams 24, and the adsorption end of the transfer adsorption device 23 is docked with the battery transportation chain mechanism 3. The transfer adsorption device 23 and the PLC control mechanism are electrically connected. It can be understood that when the transfer mechanism turntable device 22 rotates, the transfer adsorption device 23 adsorbs the battery after alignment on the battery alignment mechanism 1 to keep the pattern direction unchanged, and docks it on the battery transportation chain mechanism 3 for arrangement. Because the transfer adsorption device 23 rotates continuously and the battery transportation chain mechanism 3 is always in operation, a certain linkage relationship needs to be maintained between them to arrange the batteries according to the packaging requirements (number of sections required).

[0029] The transfer adsorption device 23 includes a cam guide 25, a vacuum suction rod 26, a vacuum connecting rod 27, a torsion spring 28, a vacuum pump, and a solenoid valve. The vacuum suction rod 26 and the vacuum connecting rod 27 are both hollow inside, and the inside is a vacuum extraction channel. The vacuum connecting rod 27 is arranged on the transfer mechanism turntable device 22 and is rotatably connected to it. It can be understood that the vacuum connecting rod 27 can slide back and forth on the transfer mechanism turntable device 22. The torsion spring 28 is sleeved on the vacuum connecting rod 27. One end of the torsion spring 28 is fixedly connected to the vacuum connecting rod 27, and the other end is fixedly connected to the transfer mechanism turntable device 22. The function of the torsion spring 28 is to make the vacuum connecting rod 27 have a force toward the center of the transfer mechanism turntable device 22. Because when the transfer adsorption device 23 connects the battery to the battery transport chain mechanism 3 and continues to rotate, it remains in contact with the plane cam 24 and does not fall off, so that it remains in a working state. The middle part of the vacuum suction rod 26 is The vacuum suction rod 26 is connected to the front end of the vacuum connecting rod 27 for rotation, and the vacuum passages inside the vacuum connecting rod 27 are connected. It can be understood that the vacuum suction rod 26 can be connected to the front end of the vacuum connecting rod 27 for rotation. The cam guide 25 is arranged on the end where the vacuum suction rod 26 and the plane cam 24 are connected. Because the adjacent vacuum suction rods 26 are connected to different plane cams 24, a cam guide 25 is arranged on the end where the vacuum suction rod 26 and the plane cam 24 are connected. The rear end of the vacuum connecting rod 27 is fixedly connected to the solenoid valve through a ventilation duct, and the solenoid valve and the vacuum pump are fixedly connected. Both the solenoid valve and the vacuum pump are electrically connected to the PLC control mechanism. It can be understood that according to the needs of the battery process, each transfer adsorption device 23 needs to adsorb the battery at a specified position, and stop adsorption at the docking position with the battery transport chain mechanism 3 so that the battery is docked to the battery transport chain mechanism 3 for grouping.

[0030] The working mode and principle of the present invention is that the battery enters the battery transition station 18 and rotates with the alignment adapter plate 121. When it rotates to a specified angle, the guide rod pushing device 110 of the S-bend guide channel 133 will push the battery into the battery alignment station 19. Synchronously, the adjustment guide rod device 17 on the alignment adjustment disk device 11 will also move toward the battery alignment station 19 under the guidance of the S-bend adjustment channel 174. The adjustment guide rod device 17 and the guide rod pushing device 110 clamp the battery together. At this time, the laser sensor in the battery alignment station 19 191 identifies the battery surface pattern and transmits the information to the PLC control mechanism. The PLC control mechanism controls the servo motor B to rotate and drive the rotating guide rod 171 to rotate, thereby adjusting the pattern direction of the battery to arrange it in the specified direction. After the pattern is adjusted, the battery continues to follow the pattern detection disk 122 to rotate to the docking point with the battery transfer mechanism 2. At this time, the vacuum suction rod 26, under the control of the PLC control mechanism, adsorbs the battery from the battery pattern station 19 to the vacuum suction rod 26, and then follows the transfer mechanism turntable device 22 to rotate. The battery When the vacuum suction rod 26 rotates to the front of the docking point with the battery transport chain mechanism 3, under the guidance of the flat cam 24, the direction of the vacuum suction rod 26 will be changed so that it can face the battery transport chain mechanism 3. When the vacuum suction rod 26 faces the battery transport chain mechanism 3, the PLC control mechanism controls the solenoid valve to close, so that the vacuum suction rod 26 stops adsorbing the battery and docks the battery on the battery transport chain mechanism 3. Because the vacuum suction rod 26 is always rotating, the battery transport chain mechanism 3 is also always in a state of transmission. At this time, the PLC control mechanism is required to coordinate the working relationship between the vacuum suction rod 26 and the battery transport chain mechanism 3. Specifically, (taking 2 batteries as a group) after the first battery is docked to the battery transport chain mechanism 3, the transmission speed of the battery transport chain mechanism 3 remains unchanged, waiting for the second vacuum suction rod 26 to rotate to tightly dock the second battery with the first battery. When the two batteries are docked, the battery transport chain mechanism 3 will speed up the operation speed, so that a gap is generated between the two batteries (one group) and another adjacent group of batteries, so that the flower matching and grouping are successful and enter the next process.
