[0049] The position detector A407 can transmit the sensing result to the PLC, and then issue a command to the first-level linear reciprocating mechanism 402 to stop it. At this time, the tray 102 is located in the middle of the inner cavity of the outer frame 100. At this time, the moving end of the second-level linear reciprocating mechanism 403 continues to push the tray 102 with the T-shaped push plate 404 fixed to it, so that the tray 102 can continue to move into the inner cavity of the outer frame 100 and move to the specified position under the action of the position detector B408 fixed in the middle of the upper surface of the upper pad 412.
[0050] The I-shaped frame 405 and the support plate 406 arranged in the inner part of the base plate 401 can support, limit and guide the pallet 102, and the rotation of the output end of the servo motor 413 fixed on the outer wall of one side of the base plate 401 can drive the two meshing bevel gears 414 to rotate together, and the rotation of the two bevel gears 414 respectively drives the bidirectional screw 415 and the bevel gear 414 to rotate, and when the bidirectional screw 415 rotates, it can drive the two I-shaped frames 405 and the support plate 406 to move toward or away from the threaded rod 309, so that the distance of the pallet 406 can be adjusted according to the specifications of the pallet 102, and when the bevel gear 414 rotates, it can drive the square quick-connect groove 418 to rotate, and when the square quick-connect groove 418 rotates, it can drive the square quick connector 310 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the empty tray feeding clamping mechanism 200 to adjust the pallets 102 of different specifications.
[0051] Reference Figure 1-Figure 9 , and the outer frame 100, the conveyor belt 101, the empty tray feeding clamping mechanism 200, the servo lifting mechanism 300 and the servo feeding mechanism 400 are combined to form a separate grouping receiving device, and a combination of several grouping receiving devices can form a grouping receiving machine 108 placed on the ground, and a feeding pull belt 103 for transporting the battery cells is arranged on one side of the entire grouping receiving machine 108, and the feeding pull belt 103 is located in the grouping receiving mechanism 108. The upper part of the side is provided with a feeding camera 104, and the feeding camera 104 uses a CCD camera to take pictures of the battery cells, and a multi-axis manipulator 109 for grabbing the battery cells is arranged on the side of the middle part of the upper end of the grouping receiving machine 108 away from the feeding camera 104, and the multi-axis manipulator 109 After grabbing the battery cells, they are placed in the grooves on the tray 102 in sequence, and a full tray photographing device 105 is arranged above the grouping receiving device composed of an outer frame 100, a conveyor belt 101, an empty tray feeding clamping mechanism 200, a servo lifting mechanism 300 and a servo feeding mechanism 400. The full tray photographing device 105 is used to check whether the empty tray 102 is full, and to take photos of the filling of the tray 102 during the filling process, so that the controller such as PLC can read the data and send instructions to the servo feeding mechanism 400, so that the first-level linear reciprocating mechanism 402 and the second-level linear reciprocating mechanism 403 in the servo feeding mechanism 400 push the empty tray 102 in sequence, and then cover the loaded tray 102 layer by layer.
[0052] Reference Figure 1-Figure 9On both sides of the grouping material receiving machine 108, there are several empty tray bins 107 for placing empty trays 102 waiting for loading, and the several empty tray bins 107 are respectively composed of several pallets 406, and the several empty tray bins 107 are provided with an empty tray grabbing mechanism 106 on the side away from the empty tray feeding clamping mechanism 200, and the empty tray grabbing mechanism 106 is used to grab the empty tray 102 and place it in the empty tray bin 107 to wait for loading.
[0053] Reference Figure 1-Figure 9 When the multi-axis manipulator 109 discharges the materials, it starts from the empty slots on the outer side of the tray 102, and gradually places them into the inner empty slots of the tray 102. After each row of cells is placed, the full tray camera 105 will take a photo of it and transmit the data to the PLC controller. At this time, the first-level linear reciprocating mechanism 402 in the servo feeding mechanism 400 will push the second-level linear reciprocating mechanism 403, and move the empty tray 102 into the empty tray feeding clamping mechanism 200 through the T-shaped push plate 404. The empty tray 102 moves along the guide groove 206 and gradually covers the filled tray 102. When the last row of cells in the groove of the tray 102 on the empty tray feeding clamping mechanism 200 is placed, the full tray camera 105 will take a photo of the last row of cells and transmit the data at the same time. Under the cooperation of the primary linear reciprocating mechanism 402 and the secondary linear reciprocating mechanism 403, the empty pallet 102 is gradually pushed into the empty tray feeding clamping mechanism 200, and then the primary linear reciprocating mechanism 402 and the secondary linear reciprocating mechanism 403 return to their original positions. At this time, the servo lifting mechanism 300 rises to support the loaded pallet 102, and the L-shaped block 205 retracts. Then the servo lifting mechanism 300 starts to move downward with the loaded pallet 102, and then the guide grooves 206 at both ends of the empty tray feeding clamping mechanism 200 are released, and the empty pallet 102 falls onto the L-shaped block 205, and the telescopic ends of the cylinder A202 located on both sides of the lower end of the mountain plate A203 clamp the empty pallet 102, and at the same time the full tray photographing device 105 takes a photo of the empty pallet 102, and finally the multi-axis manipulator 109 discharges the empty pallet 102 again, and the operation is cyclically performed in sequence.
[0054] It should be noted that there is a 1-2mm drop between the guide groove 206 and the secondary linear reciprocating mechanism 403, so that when the empty tray 102 is fully pushed into the guide groove 206, the secondary linear reciprocating mechanism 403 will not bring out the empty tray 102 when it is pulled out, and the height of the L-shaped block 205 plus the tray 102 should be lower than the lower end surface of the upper pad 412, so that the primary linear reciprocating mechanism 402 can push the secondary linear reciprocating mechanism 403 into the empty tray feeding clamping mechanism 200, and the feed pull belt 103, feed camera device 104, full tray camera device 105, empty tray grabbing mechanism 106, grouping material receiving machine 108, and multi-axis manipulator 109 are all existing mechanisms, and the above-mentioned equipment also needs to be connected to controllers such as PLC, but because it is a prior art, its structural principle will not be described in detail here.
[0055] The feeding photographing device 104 uses a CCD camera to photograph the battery cells and transmits the signal to a controller such as a PLC, which then transmits the signal to a multi-axis manipulator 109, which then grabs the battery cells and places them in a tray 102 for storage.
[0056] The device for grabbing the empty tray 102 in the empty tray grabbing mechanism 106 can adopt an empty tray transporting arm, and the empty tray transporting arm first transports an empty tray 102 to the empty tray waiting position composed of the T-shaped push plate 404, and then waits for the multi-axis manipulator 109 to gradually discharge the materials from the outside to the inside. After each row of the full tray is placed, the CCD camera in the full tray photographing device 105 takes a photo, and the empty tray 102 is also gradually pushed in along the guide groove 206. When the last battery cell is placed, the CCD in the full tray photographing device 105 takes a photo of the last row of the full tray (0.1S), the empty tray 102 is pushed in (0.3S), and the guide grooves 206 at both ends are released (0. 3S), the empty pallet 102 falls onto the L-shaped block 205 (0.3S), the cylinder A202 clamps the empty pallet 102 (0.3S), the CCD in the full pallet photographing device 105 photographs the empty pallet 102 (0.1S), and the multi-axis manipulator 109 discharges the material. It can be calculated that the pallet change time is 1.4S, which is less than the cycle time of the multi-axis manipulator 109 of 1.88S. The multi-axis manipulator 109 does not need to wait when the pallet 102 is discharged, thereby improving the overall PPM while achieving the effect of uninterrupted material collection. The double-layer feeding design can shorten the feeding distance of the empty pallet 102 and reduce the feeding time.
[0057] The implementation principle of the non-stop grouping and receiving device for soft-packed battery cells in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: first, the multi-axis manipulator 109 grabs the battery cells from the feeding pull belt 103, and then starts to place the battery cells in the empty slots on the outer periphery of the tray 102, and gradually places the battery cells in the empty slots on the inner layer of the tray 102. After each row of battery cells is placed, the full tray camera 105 will take a photo of it and transmit the data to the PLC controller, and transmit a signal to the primary linear reciprocating mechanism 402 and the secondary linear reciprocating mechanism 403 through the PLC controller, so that the primary linear reciprocating mechanism 402 pushes the secondary linear reciprocating mechanism 403 to move the secondary linear reciprocating mechanism 403 to the first linear reciprocating mechanism 402. The empty tray 102 is pushed into the empty tray feeding clamping mechanism 200 along the guide groove 206 by the T-shaped push plate 404. When the multi-axis manipulator 109 places a row of cells, the empty tray 102 will place the loaded row, until the full tray 102 is gradually covered. When the last row of cells in the groove of the tray 102 on the empty tray feeding clamping mechanism 200 is placed, the full tray photographing device 105 will take a photo of the last row of cells and transmit the data to the PLC controller at the same time. Then the PLC controller controls the empty tray feeding clamping mechanism 200, the servo lift, and the like. The lowering mechanism 300 and the servo feeding mechanism 400 transmit instructions to push the empty tray 102 into the empty tray feeding clamping mechanism 200, and the first-level linear reciprocating mechanism 402 and the second-level linear reciprocating mechanism 403 withdraw and return to their original positions. Then the servo lifting mechanism 300 rises, and the loaded tray 102 is supported by the cooperation between the supporting block 304 and the cylinder B302. At the same time, the L-shaped block 205 retracts under the drive of the cylinder A202. Then the servo lifting mechanism 300 starts to move downward with the loaded tray 102, and places the loaded tray 102 at the bottom on the conveyor belt. 101 is transported outward, and the L-shaped block 205 returns to its original position. Then the guide grooves 206 at both ends of the empty tray feeding clamping mechanism 200 move to both sides driven by the cylinder A202 and release the empty pallet 102, and then the empty pallet 102 falls onto the L-shaped block 205. At the same time, the telescopic ends of the cylinder A202 located on both sides of the lower end of the mountain plate A203 extend out to clamp the empty pallet 102 for fixed limit. At the same time, the full tray camera 105 takes a photo of the empty pallet 102. Finally, the multi-axis manipulator 109 discharges the empty pallet 102 again to carry out the cycle operation.
[0058] When it is necessary to load pallets 102 of different specifications and models, the pallet 102 of the new specifications and models is first placed on the upper part of the pallet 406, and then the output end of the servo motor 413 rotates to drive the two bevel gears 414 to rotate together, and the rotation of the two bevel gears 414 respectively drives the bidirectional screw 415 and the bevel gear 414 to rotate, and the rotation of the bidirectional screw 415 will drive the two I-shaped frames 405 and the pallet 406 to move toward the pallet 102, and then the pallet 102 is loaded according to the specifications and models. The distance can be adjusted, and when the bevel gear 414 rotates, it can drive the square quick-connect slot 418 to rotate, and when the square quick-connect slot 418 rotates, it can drive the square quick connector 310 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the transmission shaft 308 and the worm 306 to rotate, and when the worm 306 rotates, it will drive the worm wheel 307 and the threaded rod 309 to rotate, thereby driving the supporting block 304 to move in the mountain-shaped slot 305, so that the supporting block 304 can adjust the trays 102 of different specifications and models.
[0059] At the same time, the telescopic end of the cylinder A202 in the opposite direction among the cylinders A202 moves with the limit block A204, so that the limit block A204 can drive the mountain plate A203 to move, and then the mountain plate A203 moves toward the inside of the outer frame 100 with other cylinders A202, so as to adjust the distance of abutment and support for pallets 102 of different specifications.
[0060] The above are only optional embodiments of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. For those skilled in the art, the present disclosure may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present disclosure shall be included in the protection scope of the present disclosure.
