These drawings and text descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the present application in any way, but to illustrate the concept of the present application to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0047] As described in the background technology, the assembly system has an assembly unit, which has multiple workstations such as loading, testing, weighing, gluing, and transporting. Each workstation is arranged according to the processing procedures and connected in sequence through conveyor lines. The assembly unit is also connected to other subsequent units.

[0048] During the operation of the assembly system, if the subsequent unit stops due to an abnormality or fault, the assembly unit also needs to stop and wait.

[0049] Moreover, when the conveyor line delivers the battery core and other target parts to the work station and processes the core at the work station, it is necessary to frequently use robots to perform loading, transfer and unloading operations. The above operations will not only damage the surface of the core, but also affect the conveying speed of the core and other target parts, thereby affecting the assembly efficiency of the assembly system.

[0050] In addition, since the cores need to be paired in pairs during the assembly process, when the number of cores does not match, the assembly system needs to stop and wait for the cores to be paired later, which will also affect the assembly efficiency.

[0051] In order to overcome the defects in the prior art, the assembly system provided by the embodiment of the present application is provided with a conveyor line unit, and the conveyor line unit is connected to the assembly unit composed of a processing station and an auxiliary station. The assembly unit is also connected to other subsequent units, wherein the auxiliary station includes at least one cache station. The cache station can store the target parts processed by the processing station and transported by the conveyor line unit when the subsequent unit is shut down. In this way, in the process of assembling the battery roll core by the assembly system, if the subsequent unit located after the cache station is shut down due to a fault or other reasons and the corresponding assembly operation cannot be performed, the cache station and other processing stations can be kept in operation, and the target parts processed by the processing station can be transferred by the conveyor line unit to the cache station for temporary storage. After the stopped subsequent unit resumes operation, the target parts stored in the cache station are transported by the conveyor line unit for subsequent processing. In this way, even if the subsequent unit of the assembly unit of the assembly system fails and shuts down, it will not affect the normal operation of the assembly unit.

[0052] The content of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can understand the content of the present invention more clearly and in detail.

[0053] Reference Figure 1 and Fig. 9 As shown, the assembly system provided by the embodiment of the present application includes:

[0054] A conveyor line unit 100, the conveyor line unit 100 is used to convey a target part 300;

[0055] An assembly unit 200, the assembly unit 200 is used to connect with a subsequent unit, the assembly unit 200 includes a plurality of different processing stations 210 and a plurality of different auxiliary stations 220, each processing station 210 and each auxiliary station 220 are connected through a conveyor line unit 100, and the processing station 210 is used to process, inspect or assemble a target part 300;

[0056] The auxiliary station 220 includes a buffer station 221, and the buffer station 221 is configured to store the target part 300 that has passed through the processing station 210 when the subsequent unit is shut down.

[0057] It can be understood that the assembly unit 200 includes a plurality of different processing stations 210 and auxiliary stations 220. The processing station 210 can process, test or assemble the target part 300, and the auxiliary station 220 is used to assist the processing operation of the processing station 210 so as to improve the assembly efficiency of the assembly system. Depending on the target part 300 to be processed and assembled, the processing and assembly operations corresponding to the processing station 210 are also different. The assembly unit is connected to a subsequent unit, which is used to perform other subsequent processing operations on the target part 300 that has been processed, assembled and tested. In this embodiment, the target part 300 can be a lithium battery roll core, which is not limited in this application.

[0058] The processing stations 210 and the auxiliary stations 220 are arranged at intervals according to the processing procedures of the target parts 300 that need to be processed and assembled. The arrangement can be specifically planned according to the production site. The conveyor line unit 100 connects the corresponding processing stations 210 and the auxiliary stations 220 in sequence according to the processing procedures, so that the target parts 300 can flow between the processing stations 210 and the auxiliary stations 220.

[0059] Among them, the auxiliary station 220 includes at least one cache station 221, which is correspondingly arranged after the processing station 210. When each processing station 210 is operating normally, the cache station 221 may not be in action. When the subsequent unit of the cache station 221 stops due to a fault or abnormality, the cache station 221 can be started, so that the processing station 210 can continue to operate and process and assemble the target part 300 without being affected by the stopped subsequent unit. When the target part 300 passing through the processing station 210 is transmitted to the cache station 221 through the conveyor line unit 100, the cache station 221 can temporarily store these target parts 300. After the stopped subsequent unit resumes operation, the cache station 221 can use the conveyor line unit 100 to transport the previously stored target parts 300 to the subsequent unit for subsequent other processing and assembly.

[0060] Therefore, the assembly system provided by the embodiment of the present application is provided with a conveyor line unit 100, and the conveyor line unit 100 is connected to the assembly unit 200 composed of a processing station 210 and an auxiliary station 220, wherein the auxiliary station 220 includes at least one buffer station 221, and the buffer station 221 can store the target part 300 processed by the processing station 210 and transported by the conveyor line unit 100 when at least one subsequent unit is shut down. In this way, in the process of assembling the battery roll core by the assembly system, if the subsequent unit located after the buffer station 221 is shut down due to a fault or other reasons and cannot perform the corresponding assembly operation, the buffer station 221 and the previous other processing stations 210 can be kept in operation, and the target parts 300 processed by the previous other processing stations 210 can be transferred by the conveyor line unit 100 to the buffer station 221 for temporary storage, and after the shutdown subsequent station resumes operation, the target parts 300 stored in the buffer station 221 are transported by the conveyor line unit 100 for subsequent processing. Therefore, even if a subsequent unit of the assembly system fails and stops, it will not affect the normal operation of the processing station 210 of the assembly unit.

[0061] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Fig.10 As shown, the auxiliary station 220 also includes a pairing station 222, which is configured to store unpaired target parts 300, pair the unpaired target parts 300 with subsequent unpaired target parts 300, and enable the conveyor line unit 100 to receive the paired target parts 300.

[0062] It can be understood that by setting up the pairing station 222, when target parts 300 need to be paired and assembled in pairs, such as battery roll cores, when unpaired target parts 300 appear, the unpaired target parts 300 can be temporarily stored, and when other unpaired target parts 300 appear subsequently, if the unpaired target parts 300 can be paired with the previously stored unpaired target parts 300, the pairing station 222 can be used to pair the two groups of unpaired target parts 300, so that the processing stations 210 subsequent to the pairing station 222 receive paired target parts 300, thereby increasing the assembly efficiency of the entire assembly system and eliminating the need for partial shutdown of the assembly system to wait for the target parts 300 to be paired.

[0063] Further, in some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the auxiliary station 220 further includes a retest station 223 , and the retest station 223 is configured to retest at least a portion of the inspected target part 300 .

[0064] It is understandable that in the assembly system, at least one processing station 210 is usually set as an inspection station. However, when the inspection station is dealing with a large number of target parts 300, it is inevitable that there will be false detections and missed detections, resulting in unqualified target parts 300 being judged as qualified target parts 300 by the inspection station, or qualified target parts 300 being judged as unqualified by the inspection station. In this regard, a re-inspection station can be set up to re-inspect the target parts 300, and the unqualified target parts 300 are marked out, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection of the target parts 300, avoiding the unqualified inspection parts from affecting the subsequent assembly, resulting in a decrease in the yield rate and affecting the assembly efficiency.

[0065] And, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the auxiliary station 220 further includes a reject station 224 , which is configured to move unqualified target parts 300 out of the conveyor line unit 100 .

[0066] It can be understood that by setting up a rejection station 224, the target parts 300 determined as unqualified by the inspection station and the re-inspection station can be automatically removed from the subsequent conveyor line unit 100, thereby avoiding manual rejection, reducing personnel workload, and improving the removal efficiency of unqualified target parts 300, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0067] In addition, in some embodiments, reference Figure 1 As shown, at least one auxiliary station 220 is provided with:

[0068] A material storage part 230, the material storage part 230 is used to receive the target part 300;

[0069] The material moving piece 240 is arranged corresponding to the material storing piece 230 , and is used for moving the target piece 300 received from the conveying line unit 100 into the material storing piece 230 .

[0070] With such arrangement, the material moving part 240 can be used to remove the target part 300 to be transferred from the conveyor line unit 100 or the processing station 210, and the removed target part 300 can be placed in the material storage part 230 for corresponding temporary storage.

[0071] In addition, material transfer components 240 and material storage components 230 may also be configured at some processing stations 210, and this application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0072] In some embodiments, the material storage member 230 is a conveyor belt or a storage rack.

[0073] It should be noted that the material storage part 230 can be specifically set as a conveyor belt with a storage function according to the functions of the auxiliary station 220 and the processing station 210, so that the target part 300 placed on the material storage part 230 can be returned to other stations as needed, or the position of the target part 300 can be adjusted using the conveyor belt. It can also be set as a multi-layer storage shelf structure to increase the storage density of the material storage part 230, and the present application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0074] And, in some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the conveyor line unit 100 includes:

[0075] A conveying assembly, the conveying assembly connects each processing station 210 and each auxiliary station 220;

[0076] The carrier 130 is disposed on the conveying assembly and moves along the conveying assembly. The carrier 130 is used to carry the target part 300 .

[0077] With such arrangement, each processing station 210 and each auxiliary station 220 can be interconnected by using a conveying assembly, and a carrier 130 is arranged on the conveying assembly to carry the target part 300, so as to realize the conveyance of the target part 300 between the stations and ensure the assembly efficiency.

[0078] Also, in some embodiments, the carrier 130 is magnetically coupled to the conveyor assembly.

[0079] It can be understood that the carrier 130 and the conveying component are magnetically connected, specifically, the carrier 130 and the conveying component are connected through magnetic suspension, so as to avoid contact between the carrier 130 and the conveying component, reduce the energy loss between the carrier 130 and the conveying component, and improve the transmission efficiency of the carrier 130.

[0080] Specifically, refer to Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the conveying assembly includes:

[0081] A direct-transfer stator 110, wherein a plurality of direct-transfer stators 110 are provided, and the direct-transfer stator 110 is connected to a processing station 210 or an auxiliary station 220;

[0082] A steering stator 120, which connects two direct transport stators 110 with different transport directions and rotates relative to the direct transport stators 110;

[0083] The lifting stator 140 is provided with at least two lifting stators 140 , and at least two direct transport stators 110 with opposite transport directions are provided between the at least two lifting stators 140 along the height direction. The lifting stator 140 is lifted and lowered relative to the direct transport stator 110 .

[0084] The conveying direction of each direct-transfer stator 110 is set according to the layout of each processing station 210 and the auxiliary station 220. When the conveying directions of two direct-transfer stators 110 are different, a steering stator 120 can be set between the two direct-transfer stators 110 so that the steering stator 120 rotates relative to the direct-transfer stator 110 to adjust the conveying direction.

[0085] During the operation of the assembly system, it may be necessary to return some of the carriers 130. For this purpose, a lifting stator 140 can be set, and two direct transport stators 110 with opposite conveying directions are set up in the vertical direction between at least two lifting stators 140. The conveying direction of the upper direct transport stator 110 can be set as normal conveying, and the conveying direction of the lower direct transport stator 110 can be set as return conveying, so that the two lifting stators 140 can be lifted and lowered between the direct transport stators 110, and the carrier 130 can be rotated or normally transported, ensuring that the assembly system runs efficiently and orderly.

[0086] Furthermore, in some embodiments, each processing station 210 and each auxiliary station 220 is disposed on the side of the conveying direction of the conveying assembly.

[0087] It can be understood that by arranging each processing station 210 and auxiliary station 220 on the side of the conveying component, rather than making each conveying component dock with each processing station 210 and auxiliary station 220 respectively, it is possible to avoid the need for loading, transferring and unloading operations of the target part 300 when passing through each processing station 210 and auxiliary station 220. The target part 300 only needs to be kept on the conveying component, and the assembly operations can be performed using the devices corresponding to the processing stations 210 and auxiliary stations 220 on both sides, thereby further improving the conveying efficiency and assembly efficiency of the assembly system.

[0088] In addition, it should be noted that Figures 1 to 13As shown, the processing station 210 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes at least one of a loading station 211, a flaw detection station 212, a size detection station 213, a weighing station 214, a gluing station 215, a shaping station 216, a folding detection station 217, a positioning station 218 and a code scanning station 219 in sequence.

[0089] The specific assembly process of the assembly system provided in the embodiment of the present application is described below:

[0090] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the target part 300 includes a first winding core and a second winding core arranged in pairs, and two sets of loading stations 211 are provided, and the target part 300 is conveyed step by step through the material storage part 230 (using a conveyor belt) in the direction of the arrow. Among them, the first winding core and the second winding core are arranged on the material storage part 230 in pairs, and the pole ears of the first winding core and the second winding core are in opposite directions. The present application does not limit the number of arrangement of the target part 300, but it should be an even number and greater than or equal to two, so as to facilitate the subsequent processing station 210 operation.

[0091] Specifically, when an empty carrier 130 moves to the loading station 211 below, the material moving member 240 grabs two first winding cores and two second winding cores from the material storage member 230 and places them on the carrier 130, and the carrier 130 moves along the conveying assembly to move another empty carrier 130 behind the carrier 130 to the loading station 211 above, and then the material moving member 240 grabs two first winding cores and two second winding cores from the material storage member 230 and places them, completing the loading of the target part 300, that is, the two loading stations 211 load the materials at intervals.

[0092] Reference Figure 4 As shown, after the carrier 130 with the target part 300 is placed moves along the longitudinal direct transport stator 110 to the left steering stator 120, the steering stator 120 rotates toward the transverse direct transport stator 110, and the carrier 130 is moved to the right steering stator 120 through the transverse direct transport stator 110, and then the right steering stator 120 rotates toward another longitudinal direct transport stator 110 to transport the carrier 130 to the direct transport stator 110.

[0093] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the carrier 130 is transported in sequence through the re-test station 223, the code scanning station 219, the flaw detection station 212 and the scrap removal station 224. After the initial unqualified target parts 300 marked by the code scanning station 219 and the flaw detection station 212 are transported to the scrap removal station, the material transfer part 240 can place the initial unqualified target parts 300 marked by the code scanning station 219 on the two shorter material storage parts 230 on the right to be removed. The first unqualified target part 300 marked by the flaw detection station 212 is placed on the two longer stocking parts 230 on the left. The two longer stocking parts 230 on the left are conveyor belts, which can transport the first unqualified target part 300 to the retest station 223 again, and place it on the carrier 130 by the material transfer part 240 at the retest station 223, and then be inspected again by the code scanning station 219 and the flaw detection station 212, and the rejection station 224 moves the second unqualified target part 300 to the two shorter stocking parts 230 on the right through the material transfer part 240, so as to remove it. This application does not specifically limit the number of retests of the target part 300.

[0094] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, after the qualified target part 300 is transmitted to the steering stator 120, the target part 300 is scanned in sequence at the code scanning station 219, and then the robot arm 250 moves the target part 300 that fails to scan the code to the aforementioned storage part 230 for removing the target part 300, and transfers the target part 300 that passes the code scanning to the empty carrier 130 on another steering stator 120 above, and the original carrier 130 becomes an empty carrier 130, and is returned to the starting loading station 211 through the lifting stator 140 and the direct transport stator 110 below for loading.

[0095] It can be understood that the structures of the corresponding carriers 130 are different before and after the transfer of the robot arm 250. When the carrier 130 before the transfer of the robot arm 250 places the first winding core and the second winding core, the pole ears of the first winding core and the second winding core are both located inside the carrier 130. When the carrier 130 after the transfer of the robot arm 250 places the first winding core and the second winding core, the pole ears of the first winding core and the second winding core are both located on the outside of the carrier 130, so as to carry out subsequent operations such as gluing, shaping and folding detection.

[0096] The conveying assembly continues to convey the target part 300 transferred by the robot arm 250 to the size detection station 213, the weighing station 214, the gluing station 215, the shaping station 216 and the folding detection station 217 in sequence.

[0097] Refer to 1 and Fig. 9As shown, when the target part 300 is further transported to the pairing station 222, the material transfer part 240 of the pairing station 222 can move the unqualified target parts 300 corresponding to the above-mentioned size detection station 213, weighing station 214, gluing station 215, shaping station 216 and folding detection station 217 to the material storage part 230 on the right. If, after the unqualified target parts 300 are removed from a certain carrier 130, the corresponding qualified target parts 300 are less than four, so that the qualified target parts 300 cannot be paired, the qualified target parts 300 that cannot be paired are moved to the material storage part 230 on the left. When there are less than four qualified target parts 300 on the subsequent carrier 130 and they cannot be paired, the qualified target parts 300 on the material storage part 230 on the left can be moved and put into the carrier 130 for pairing, and then the qualified target parts 300 that have been successfully paired are transported toward the cache station 221.

[0098] Reference Figure 1 and Fig.10 As shown, when the target part 300 passes through the code scanning station 219 here, the corresponding first winding core and the second winding core can be bound. When the target part 300 passes through the subsequent rejection station 224, the rejection station 224 removes the target part 300 that fails to be bound, and the target part 300 that passes can be transferred to the subsequent assembly process through the positioning station 218 and the transport station to complete the processing. Fig.11 As shown, the positioning tool can pair the first winding core with the second winding core, so that the respective pole ears of the first winding core and the second winding core are opposite to each other for subsequent welding.

[0099] When the subsequent unit following the assembly unit 200 stops working, the assembly system of the illustrated part can still continue production work, and the target part 300 transported by the carrier 130 is moved by the material transfer part 240 at the buffer station 221 to the material storage part 230. The material storage part 230 can be a multi-layer shelf. When the empty carrier 130 that has been moved by the material storage part 230 past the target part 300 moves to the subsequent steering stator 120, it can be transported by the steering stator 120 to the lifting stator 140 for returning the empty carrier 130.

[0100] Fig.12 and Fig.13 The structure of another assembly system is shown. Figure 1 The assembly system structure shown in the figure is different in that the robot arm 250 is omitted, and the robot arm 250 is not required to transfer the target part 300, and the structure of the carrier 130 before and after the transfer of the target part 300 is consistent. Correspondingly, the material transfer part 240 replaces the robot arm 250 to transfer the target part 300 that fails to pass the code scanning.

[0101] Reference Fig.13As shown, the carrier 130 located on the upper direct-transport stator 110 is transported to the steering stator 120 on the left side of the right-hand lifting stator 140, and then transported to the size detection station 213 through the steering stator 120 and flows along the conveying assembly, so that the finally empty carrier 130 returns to the rightmost steering stator 120, and is transported to the lifting stator 140 through the rightmost steering stator 120, and then the lifting stator 140 transports the carrier 130 to the lower direct-transport stator 110, and then transported from the lower direct-transport stator 110 to the left-hand lifting stator 140, and finally transported to the leftmost steering stator 120, and returned to the loading station 211.
