[0053] See also Figures 1 to 3 In the first aspect of the embodiments of the present application, a tidying method is provided, comprising:

[0054] S1. Stack multiple pieces of material 500 on the stacking table 110 in a preset swinging manner to form a material pile.

[0055] In step S1, the stacking table 110 is located at the stacking station; at the stacking station, the material 500 can be placed on the stacking table 110 in a horizontal position. In the present embodiment, the material 500 can be a sheet-like battery cell, and its shape can be rectangular. The material 500 is stacked in a preset swinging manner so that each material 500 can be placed on the stacking table 110 in the same swinging manner and swinging angle, thereby improving the initial alignment of the material pile and facilitating subsequent alignment and detection operations. It should be noted that due to the radiotherapy errors in actual operations, even if the material 500 is stacked in a preset swinging manner, there will inevitably be uneven edges, so subsequent alignment operations are still required.

[0056] S2. When the material pile is placed vertically or tilted on the stacking table 110, a blowing process is performed through the wind knife assembly 200: the wind knife assembly 200 conveys airflow to the side of the material pile to loosen the material 500 in the material pile.

[0057] In step S3, the air knife assembly 200 can be arranged above the alignment station, specifically, the air knife assembly 200 can deliver airflow to the side of the material 500. After the air knife assembly 200 delivers the airflow, the airflow can enter the gap in the material pile, that is, the gap between the material 500 and the material 500, so that the material 500 is loosened, thereby reducing the friction resistance between the materials 500. On the one hand, it helps the materials 500 to slide down and align under gravity to improve the alignment efficiency, and on the other hand, it can reduce the wear between the materials 500 during the alignment process, thereby reducing the damage to the materials 500.

[0058] It should be noted that the material pile is in a vertical or tilted state. The material 500 may be stacked on the stacking table 110 vertically or tilted at the beginning, so that after stacking, the wind knife assembly 200 can directly perform a purge process on the material pile. The material 500 may be stacked by the material taking manipulator 400. In other embodiments, the material pile may be stacked horizontally and then moved to a vertical or tilted state by flipping or the like. Please refer to the following embodiments for details.

[0059] S3. Perform appearance inspection and piece counting operations on the material pile during and / or after the purging process through the inspection component 300.

[0060] In step S4, the detection component 300 can be, for example, an infrared camera or other instrument that can obtain an image of a material pile, so that the material pile can be inspected for appearance and counted by the image. When the surface of the material 500 is worn, such as scratches, the worn area will be different from the surrounding area in the image, such as color and light and dark differences, so that it is possible to judge whether the surface of the material 500 is worn according to the image. Specifically, on the side of the stacked materials, the defective area will cause a dark area to be formed on the image, so the size of the defect on the material 500 can be judged by judging the area of ​​the dark area on the image. Counting refers to calculating the number of materials 500. In the image of the material pile obtained by the detection component 300, the edge of the material 500 will form a darker side line, so the detection component 300 can calculate the number of materials 500 by calculating the number of side lines. Among them, the method of calculating the number of side lines is a prior art, so it will not be repeated in this embodiment. Therefore, in this embodiment, the appearance inspection and counting of the material pile can be performed simultaneously and integrated in the same detection component 300.

[0061] When the alignment degree of the material pile is low, the side edges of adjacent materials 500 overlap, causing the side lines on the image to be light in color or part of the side lines to be hidden and unable to be photographed, affecting the accuracy of the counting operation.

[0062] In this embodiment, the detection component 300 can detect the material during and after the purging process. Taking the detection during the purging process as an example, at this time, the material 500 is loosened due to the airflow entering the gap, so the volume of the material pile in the image obtained by the detection component 300 can be increased, so that the material pile can be detected more clearly, and the overlap between the material 500 and the adjacent material 500 and the unclear edge shooting can be reduced, so that the number of materials 500 can be counted more clearly. Taking the detection after the purging process as an example, after the purging process, the material 500 undergoes a loosening and sliding process, so the alignment of the material pile is higher. At this time, the image obtained by the detection component 300 can also reduce the situation where all side lines cannot be obtained due to the overlap of the edges of the material 500, so the accuracy of the appearance detection and counting operation can also be improved.

[0063] As an implementation mode, the detection component 300 can perform a detection during and after the purging process, respectively, so as to ensure the accuracy of the appearance detection and the accuracy of the wafer counting operation.

[0064] In one embodiment, in the purging process of step S2, the air knife assembly 200 delivers airflow to the side of the material pile at the alignment station while reciprocating along the stacking direction of the material pile.

[0065] Specifically, in this embodiment, the air knife assembly 200 can reciprocate, and the direction of its reciprocating motion is the stacking direction of the material pile under the alignment station. During the reciprocating motion of the air knife assembly 200, the airflow outputted by it will pass through various gaps in the material pile, so that the air knife assembly 200 can adapt to material piles of different sizes, and at the same time, the airflow can be repeatedly input into the gaps to improve the loosening effect of the material 500, thereby improving the alignment effect of the material 500 and improving the uniformity of the alignment of the material 500.

[0066] In this embodiment, the detection component 300 can take interval photos following the movement of the wind knife component 200, and the shooting interval duration can be configured to be equal to the duration of the wind knife component 200 moving through a material 500 thickness distance, so that the detection component 300 can obtain images of multiple material piles and can perform a comprehensive analysis of the material piles based on the multiple images, thereby further improving the accuracy and effectiveness of appearance inspection and counting operations.

[0067] In a more specific embodiment, in the purging process of step S2 , the pressing block 120 on the stacking platform 110 reciprocates in a direction approaching and moving away from the material pile to repeatedly push the side surface of the material pile.

[0068] Specifically, a reciprocating pressing block 120 is disposed on the stacking platform 110, so that the pressing block 120 can be close to or away from the material pile. During the reciprocating movement of the pressing block 120, the side of the material 500 is repeatedly pressed. In the case that the material 500 is loose, the surface damage of the material 500 can be reduced while improving the alignment effect and alignment efficiency of the material 500.

[0069] As an embodiment, the pressing block 120 is at least arranged at two side positions on the stacking platform 110, and is configured so that when the stacking platform 110 is in the alignment position, the pressing block 120 is located at two side positions on both sides of the sharp corner of the top of the material pile. Corresponding to the air outlets 210 on the two side positions on both sides of the sharp corner of the material pile, the pressing block 120 can simultaneously push the two adjacent side positions on the top of the material pile to ensure the alignment effect.

[0070] As an implementation mode, when the stacking platform 110 moves to the alignment station, at least one detection component 300 faces a corner of the stacking platform 110 , so that an image of a sharp corner of the material pile can be captured.

[0071] In practical applications, a detection assembly 300 can be arranged below the alignment station, and the stacking platform 110 at the alignment station is in a state of facing downwards. The corner position of the stacking platform 110 is the sharp corner position after the material pile is placed, so the material pile is in a state of facing downwards.

[0072] In this embodiment, the detection component 300 can directly obtain images of the sharp corners of the material pile without moving, so that the sharp corners of the material pile and the side images on both sides of the sharp corners can be obtained at one time, thereby increasing the image acquisition area and improving the detection efficiency.

[0073] As an implementation mode, two detection components 300 may be provided on the alignment station; the two detection components 300 are respectively located above and below the stacking platform 110 on the alignment station; one detection component 300 faces the lower corner of the stacking platform 110, and the other detection component 300 faces the upper corner of the stacking platform 110. The two detection components 300 can detect the four sides and four corners of the material pile on the stacking platform 110.

[0074] In one embodiment, after the above step S1 and before step S3, the method further includes:

[0075] S11 , turning over the stacking platform 110 to the alignment station so that the materials are stacked on the stacking platform 110 in a vertical or inclined manner.

[0076] In step S11, the stacking table 110 can be transferred to the alignment station by flipping. That is, the stacking table 110 can switch its position between the stacking station and the alignment station by flipping. The flipping angle of the stacking table 110 is a preset value. Taking the flipping angle of ninety degrees as an example, the material 500 is placed vertically on the stacking table 110 located at the alignment station. At this time, the material 500 abuts against the reference plane on the stacking table 110. Specifically, when the stacking table 110 is placed horizontally, the reference plane is located on the side of the stacking table 110. When the stacking table 110 is flipped to the alignment station, the reference plane is located on the lower side of the stacking table 110, so that the material 500 can be aligned by abutting against the reference plane due to gravity.

[0077] Correspondingly, in the purging process of step S2, the air knife assembly 200 delivers airflow to the side of the material pile on the alignment station. In step S3, the inspection assembly 300 performs appearance inspection and sheet counting operations on the material pile on the alignment station.

[0078] In this embodiment, the placement direction of the stacking platform 110 can be changed by flipping; the stacking platform 110 can be placed horizontally on the stacking station to facilitate the stacking of the material 500. Afterwards, flipping the stacking platform 110 can drive the stacking platform 110 and the material pile to move synchronously, so that the placement direction of the material pile can be changed without removing it from the stacking platform 110, thereby reducing the transportation loss of the material pile.

[0079] The second aspect of the present application provides a tidying device for performing any of the above tidying methods. Figures 2 to 5 The tidying device includes: a stacking assembly 100, a wind knife assembly 200 and a detection assembly 300.

[0080] The stacking assembly 100 includes: a stacking table 110 and a turning table 130; the stacking table 110 is used for stacking materials 500 to form a material pile; the stacking table 110 is arranged on the turning table 130; the turning table 130 is used to drive the stacking table 110 to move between the stacking station and the alignment station; at the stacking station, the materials 500 on the stacking table 110 are placed horizontally; at the alignment station, the materials 500 on the stacking table 110 are placed vertically or tilted. The wind knife assembly 200 is provided with an air outlet 210; the air outlet 210 is used to output airflow to the materials 500 on the stacking table 110 under the alignment station; the detection assembly 300 is used to perform appearance detection and sheet counting operations on the materials 500 on the stacking table 110 under the alignment station.

[0081] In this embodiment, the flipping table 130 may include a flipping arm, a slide and a stacking table 110. The flipping arm can flip. The slide can be slidably arranged on the flipping arm; the stacking table 110 can be rotatably arranged on the slide. When the flipping arm flips, it can drive the stacking table 110 to flip synchronously, so as to drive the stacking table 110 to switch positions between the stacking station and the alignment station. In addition, the relative positions of the stacking table 110 and the wind knife assembly 200 can be adjusted by the sliding slide and the rotatable stacking table 110, so as to ensure the blowing effect of the wind knife assembly 200 on the material pile on the stacking table 110. Among them, the stacking table 110 and the material 500 can be driven to move synchronously by the flipping table 130, thereby reducing the loss of the material pile during the unloading and loading processes.

[0082] In this embodiment, the stacking platform 110 located at the stacking station can be placed horizontally, and the material 500 on the stacking platform 110 is placed horizontally. The stacking platform 110 located at the alignment station can be placed vertically, and the material 500 on the stacking platform 110 is placed vertically. The end surface of the stacking platform 110 is provided with a reference surface. When the stacking platform 110 is located at the alignment station, the reference surface is located at the lower end surface of the stacking platform 110. Taking the material 500 on the alignment station as an example, which is placed with the sharp corner facing downward, the reference surface can be set to a right angle structure so that the side edges on both sides of the sharp corner of the bottom of the material 500 can abut against each other.

[0083] In this embodiment, the wind knife assembly 200 can be arranged above the alignment station, and the air outlet 210 is arranged downward. When the stacking table 110 is moved to the alignment station, the air outlet 210 can discharge air toward the stacking table 110, specifically, toward the material pile on the stacking table 110. The airflow output by the wind knife assembly 200 will enter the gap of the material pile, loosening the material 500, and then allowing the material 500 to slide down to the abutment reference surface under gravity, thereby achieving the alignment of the material 500. And during the sliding of the material 500, due to the air gap formed by the airflow, the friction resistance between adjacent materials 500 is reduced, thereby reducing the wear between the materials 500 and improving the alignment efficiency.

[0084] The detection component 300 can be an image acquisition instrument such as an infrared camera. The detection component 300 is set to face the alignment station so that it can obtain the image of the material pile on the alignment station. In the process of the wind knife component 200 outputting airflow, the material pile is looser as a whole, and therefore the volume presented on the image is larger, so that the detection component 300 can obtain the images of each side and part of the end face of the material pile more clearly, thereby improving the detection effect and the counting effect. After the wind knife component 200 completes the purge process, the alignment of the material pile is higher. At this time, the detection component 300 can also obtain the images of each side of the material pile more clearly, thereby improving the accuracy and effectiveness of the appearance inspection and counting operations.

[0085] In one embodiment, the wind knife assembly 200 includes: a guide rail 220; an air outlet 210 is reciprocally movable on the guide rail 220; and the length direction of the guide rail 220 is the stacking direction of the material 500 at the alignment station.

[0086] In actual application, the air outlet 210 can output airflow toward the material pile to loosen the material pile as a whole; accordingly, the area of ​​the material pile facing the air outlet 210 receives more airflow, so the air gap formed is larger. In this embodiment, the air outlet 210 is a structure that can move back and forth and can repeatedly change the area it faces, ensuring the disturbance effect on each area of ​​the material pile and improving the uniformity of material alignment.

[0087] As an implementation manner, the wind knife assembly 200 includes: a support frame 230 ; the support frame 230 is reciprocatingly disposed on the guide rail 220 ; and a plurality of air outlets 210 are disposed on the support frame 230 .

[0088] In this embodiment, the support frame 230 can be set on both sides of the guide rail 220 at the same time; correspondingly, the stacking assembly 100 is set on both sides of the guide rail 220, so that both sides of the guide rail 220 form an alignment station, which can improve the working efficiency.

[0089] As an embodiment, the air outlet 210 can rotate on the support frame 230; when the stacking table 110 is located at the alignment station, multiple air outlets 210 are at least facing two sides of the material 500 on the stacking table 110, so that two sides of the material 500 enter the airflow at the same time, ensuring that the airflow can enter the gap.

[0090] In actual applications, since the wind knife assembly 200 is disposed above the alignment station, the plurality of air outlets 210 are oriented toward two side edges on both sides of the top sharp corner of the material 500 .

[0091] In one embodiment, a second guide rail 140 and a pressing block 120 are disposed on the stacking platform 110 ; the pressing block 120 is reciprocally movable on the second guide rail 140 to repeatedly push the side surface of the material 500 .

[0092] The length direction of the second guide rail 140 is parallel to the end surface of the material 500 , so that the sliding pressing block 120 can move in a direction close to or away from the side of the material 500 .

[0093] Specifically, the pressing block 120 can push the side of the material 500 during the blowing process of the air knife assembly 200, and the pushing process can be driven by a linear drive such as a cylinder. The pushing action of the pressing block 120 can improve the alignment efficiency of the material 500 and ensure the alignment effect.

[0094] In one embodiment, a pressing member 150 is provided on the stacking platform 110; the pressing member 150 is used to press the material 500 during the turning process of the stacking platform 110. The pressing member 150 can be configured as a flippable structure. When turning is required, the pressing member 150 can be turned to press the material stack to prevent the material stack from deviating during the turning process of the stacking platform 110.

[0095] In one embodiment, it further includes: a material picking robot 400 ; the material picking robot 400 is used to grab the material 500 and stack the material 500 on the stacking table 110 , and is used to remove the aligned material stack from the stacking table 110 .

[0096] like Figure 2 As shown, the material picking robot 400 may include a gripper mechanism 410 capable of gripping the material 500 and the material pile. The gripper mechanism 410 is disposed on the multi-axis robot arm 420. When the stacking platform 110 is located at the stacking station, the gripper mechanism 410 can grip the material 500 and place the material 500 piece by piece on the stacking platform 110. After the material pile is aligned and detected, the gripper mechanism 410 can grip the material pile and unload the material from the stacking platform 110.

[0097] As an embodiment, the clamping mechanism 410 can be configured to include four clamping jaws, and the shape of the clamping jaws is L-shaped, so that the clamping mechanism 410 can grasp the material 500 from four sides thereof, and support the bottom of the material 500 through the clamping jaws while grasping.

[0098] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present invention.
