Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of manipulators, and in particular relates to a manipulator for assembling batteries for new energy vehicles. Background Art

[0002] In the automated assembly process of new energy vehicle battery packs, precise grasping of battery cells is one of the key processes. Currently, it is generally achieved by robotic clamping. For example, announcement No. CN117773999B discloses a new energy vehicle battery assembly robot.

[0003] However, during the production and transportation of battery cells, the surface is easily adsorbed with dust, metal debris and other impurities, especially in the workshop environment after processes such as electrode slitting and shell polishing, where the dust concentration is high. When the robot clamp contacts the battery cell surface, these impurities will form a "sliding layer", resulting in a significant decrease in the friction coefficient (for example, from 0.5 in a dry state to below 0.3). Slipping and shifting will frequently occur during clamping, which not only affects assembly efficiency (for example, a single failed grasping requires 5-10 seconds to retry), but may also cause scratches on the battery cell surface or damage to the pole ears due to multiple adjustments, affecting the subsequent welding quality (for example, the cold soldering rate increases by 15%). In addition, there is a large temperature difference between the low-temperature workshop environment (room temperature <10°C in winter) and the temperature of the battery cell itself (storage temperature 25°C). Condensation water is easily generated when the robot metal clamp contacts the battery cell, further reducing the friction coefficient (the wet friction coefficient can be as low as 0.2), making it difficult to achieve fast and accurate positioning of the battery cell. In severe cases, the battery cell may fall due to fluctuations in the grasping force, causing safety accidents or equipment damage.

[0004] To this end, a battery assembly robot for new energy vehicles is proposed. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The technical solutions 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 only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0020] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a robot for assembling batteries for new energy vehicles includes a rotating base 1, a robot arm 2 and two clamping arms 3. The robot arm 2 is fixedly arranged on the top of the rotating base 1, and the two clamping arms 3 are arranged at the ends of the robot arm 2. When the rotating base 1 rotates, it can drive the robot arm 2 and the two clamping arms 3 at the ends to rotate the angle to complete the assembly operation of the battery cell. It also includes: The air suction and dust removal mechanism 4 is arranged on the top of the rotating base 1, and the air suction and dust removal mechanism 4 is used to process the dust around the robot arm 2. The air suction and dust removal mechanism 4 includes a hollow air suction plate 41 fixedly arranged on the top of the rotating base 1, and a plurality of evenly distributed air suction holes 42 are opened on one side of the hollow air suction plate 41, and an air suction cover 43 is fixedly provided on the other side of the hollow air suction plate 41. A suction fan 44 is fixedly provided inside the air suction cover 43, and a corrugated air outlet pipe 45 is fixedly provided on the side wall of the air suction cover 43. An activated carbon filter 46 is vertically inserted into the interior of the hollow air suction plate 41 (the corrugated air outlet pipe 45 designed here can be freely extended and retracted according to the operation of the robot arm 2 without entanglement. At the same time, since the robot arm 2 is provided with a rotating base 1 at the bottom, the circumferential rotation of the robot arm 2 can be realized. Therefore, during the assembly operation, the robot arm 2 does not need to rotate at a large angle in the vertical direction. Therefore, the corrugated air outlet pipe 45 is fixedly provided on the side wall of the air suction cover 43. The exhaust pipe 45 will not be pulled to a large extent). When the suction fan 44 is running, the gas inside the hollow suction plate 41 is continuously sucked into the suction hood 43, so that a negative pressure environment is formed inside the hollow suction plate 41, and the external air is sucked in through multiple suction holes 42 facing the robot arm 2, so that the environment around the robot arm 2 is cleaned, and the air sucked into the hollow suction plate 41 will pass through the activated carbon filter 46 for treatment; a mounting port is provided at the top of the hollow suction plate 41, and a sealing plate 47 is provided inside the mounting port. The lower surface of the sealing plate 47 is fixedly connected to the top of the activated carbon filter 46, and the sealing plate 47 is fixed to the hollow suction plate 41 by bolts. When the activated carbon filter 46 needs to be replaced, the staff tightens the bolts with a wrench to remove the sealing plate 47 from the top of the hollow suction plate 41, and at the same time, the activated carbon filter 46 is pulled out from the inside of the hollow suction plate 41 for cleaning.

[0021] The gas heating mechanism 5 is arranged inside the air suction and dust removal mechanism 4, and the gas heating mechanism 5 is used to adjust the temperature of the gas sucked in by the air suction and dust removal mechanism 4. The gas heating mechanism 5 includes a fixed ring 51 fixedly arranged inside the air suction hood 43, and the fixed ring 51 is located on the air inlet side of the suction fan 44. A plurality of heating tubes 52 are fixed inside the fixed ring 51. When the power of the heating tube 52 is turned on and the heating tube 52 is started, the gas sucked into the air suction hood 43 is heated to raise the gas temperature to room temperature.

[0022] The blowing mechanism 6 is arranged on the outer wall of the end of the robotic arm 2, and the blowing mechanism 6 is connected to the air suction and dust removal mechanism 4. The blowing mechanism 6 is used to blow air to the surfaces of the two clamping arms 3 and the surface of the battery core. The blowing mechanism 6 includes a hollow blowing disk 61 fixedly arranged on the outside of the robotic arm 2, and one end of the corrugated air outlet pipe 45 away from the air suction cover 43 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the hollow blowing disk 61. A plurality of evenly distributed blowing holes 62 are arranged around the side of the hollow blowing disk 61 away from the corrugated air outlet pipe 45, and a gas sealing mechanism 63 is provided inside the hollow blowing disk 61. The gas sealing mechanism 63 includes a movable ring 631 arranged inside the hollow blowing disk 61, and two telescopic rods 632 are symmetrically fixed between the side wall of the movable ring 631 and the inner side wall of the hollow blowing disk 61. The rod walls of the two telescopic rods 632 are both sleeved with a first A spring 633, and the two ends of the first spring 633 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the movable ring 631 and the side wall of the hollow blowing disk 61 respectively. Two permanent magnet blocks 634 are symmetrically fixed on the side wall of the movable ring 631, and two electromagnetic blocks 635 are symmetrically fixed on the inner wall of the hollow blowing disk 61, and the positions of the electromagnetic blocks 635 are distributed corresponding to the positions of the permanent magnet blocks 634. A plurality of evenly distributed frustum-shaped sealing heads 636 are fixed around the side wall of the movable ring 631, and the plurality of frustum-shaped sealing heads 636 are distributed one-to-one with the plurality of blowing holes 62. By changing the current flowing to the electromagnetic block 635, the electromagnetic block 635 generates different magnetic adsorption forces on the permanent magnet block 634, thereby adjusting the gap between the frustum-shaped sealing head 636 on the movable ring 631 and the blowing hole 62, thereby changing the gas blowing amount.

[0023] The adaptive adjustment mechanism 7 is arranged on the side wall of the blowing mechanism 6, and the adaptive adjustment mechanism 7 can adjust the blowing intensity of the blowing mechanism 6. The adaptive adjustment mechanism 7 includes an adjustment shell 71 fixedly arranged on the side wall of the hollow blowing disk 61. A resistance rod 72 is vertically fixed inside the adjustment shell 71. The rod wall of the resistance rod 72 is slidably provided with a conductive ring 73. The outer wall of the conductive ring 73 is fixed with an insulating slider 74, and the insulating slider 74 is slidably connected to the adjustment shell 71. A second spring 75 is fixed between the top of the insulating slider 74 and the inner side wall of the adjustment shell 71, and a pull rope 76 is fixed at the bottom of the insulating slider 74, and the pull rope 76 extends away from the insulating slider 74 to the outside of the adjustment shell 71 and is fixedly connected to the side wall of one of the clamping arms 3. A guide roller 77 is rotatably provided on the inner side wall of the adjustment shell 71. The pull rope 76 bypasses the outer wall of the guide roller 77 and extends outward. 7 can change the pulling direction of the pull rope 76 to reduce bending wear. The clamping arm 3 will open to different degrees when completing the battery cell clamping. When the clamping arm 3 opens to different degrees, the external force on the pull rope 76 is different, so that the end of the pull rope 76 pulls the insulating slider 74 to different degrees, thereby causing the conductive ring 73 to move a different distance on the resistor rod 72, changing the resistance value of the resistor rod 72 connected to the circuit. The larger the opening angle of the clamping arm 3, the looser the pull rope 76 as the clamping arm 3 expands outward, the smaller the downward pulling force on the insulating slider 74, the greater the upward moving distance of the insulating slider 74 under the elastic force of the second spring 75, and the resistance value of the resistor rod 72 connected to the circuit is reduced. The smaller the opening angle of the clamping arm 3, the greater the pulling force on the pull rope 76, the greater the distance the insulating slider 74 is pulled down, and the resistance value of the resistor rod 72 connected to the circuit is increased. According to the change of this electrical signal, the current to the electromagnetic block 635 is adjusted accordingly.

[0024] The temperature sensor 8 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of one of the clamping arms 3 , and is used to detect the surface temperature of the clamping arm 3 . The temperature sensor 8 monitors the surface temperature of the clamping arm 3 in real time.

[0025] The PLC controller 9 is fixedly embedded in the side wall of the rotating base 1. The rotating base 1, the robotic arm 2, the two clamping arms 3, the air suction and dust removal mechanism 4, the gas heating mechanism 5, the air blowing mechanism 6 and the adaptive adjustment mechanism 7 are all electrically connected to the PLC controller 9.

[0026] The operating principle of the present invention is described as follows: the staff first firmly installs the rotating base 1 next to the new energy vehicle battery assembly process, turns on the power of the manipulator, starts the manipulator arm 2 and the clamping arm 3 and performs the battery cell clamping and assembly task. During this process, the power of the suction fan 44 is turned on synchronously. When the suction fan 44 is running, the gas inside the hollow suction plate 41 is continuously sucked into the suction hood 43, so that a negative pressure environment is formed inside the hollow suction plate 41, and the external air is sucked in through a plurality of suction holes 42 facing the manipulator arm 2, so that the environment around the manipulator arm 2 is cleaned. The clean environment reduces the wear of the moving parts of the manipulator arm 2 and the risk of equipment overheating, prolongs the service life, and reduces the maintenance frequency. The air sucked into the hollow suction plate 41 will pass through the activated carbon filter 46, and the porous structure and adsorption characteristics of the activated carbon (pore diameter is about 0.1-20nm) are used to effectively capture dust particles (particle size ≥ 0.3μm), metal debris and other impurities in the air through physical adsorption and intermolecular forces, thereby achieving gas purification. The clean air filtered by the activated carbon filter 46 is discharged into the interior of the hollow blowing disk 61 through the corrugated air outlet pipe 45, and is blown toward the surface of the clamping arm 3 and the surrounding area through the blowing holes 62 evenly distributed on the disk body. Since the hollow blowing disk 61 and the clamping arm 3 are designed as a single body, when the clamping arm 3 performs the battery cell clamping action, the hollow blowing disk 61 simultaneously sprays clean air onto the surface of the battery cell, and uses the impact force of the airflow (wind speed of about 5-8m / s) to blow away the dust adsorbed on the surface of the battery cell, preventing the dust from forming a "sliding layer" at the contact interface between the clamping arm 3 and the battery cell, thereby maintaining the effective friction coefficient between the clamping arm 3 and the battery cell, significantly reducing the risk of slipping during clamping, and improving the stability of battery cell clamping and assembly accuracy. In addition, the continuous airflow circulation can simultaneously remove the trace heat generated by the movement of the clamping arm 3, helping to improve the working environment temperature of the robot arm 2 and indirectly improving the reliability of equipment operation; When the workshop is in a low temperature environment (room temperature <10°C in winter), the temperature sensor 8 on the clamping arm 3 monitors its surface temperature in real time and feeds back the temperature value to the PLC controller 9 in the form of an electrical signal. After receiving the signal, the PLC controller 9 automatically turns on the power of the heating tube 52 through the control circuit. After the heating tube 52 is started, the gas sucked into the suction hood 43 is heated to raise the gas temperature to room temperature (25°C). The heated gas is evenly blown onto the surface of the battery cell through the corrugated outlet pipe 45, the hollow blowing plate 61 and the blowing hole 62, gradually raising the battery cell temperature and reducing the temperature difference between the battery cell and the clamping arm 3. This process can effectively avoid condensation caused by excessive temperature difference when the two come into contact, maintain the dry state of the clamping arm 3 and the surface of the battery cell, thereby maintaining a high friction coefficient, ensuring that the clamping arm 3 can quickly and accurately clamp the battery cell, and help achieve high-precision assembly of new energy vehicle batteries; When the clamping arm 3 completes the clamping of the battery cell, if the battery cell is large in size, the clamping arm 3 needs to open a larger angle. At this time, the external force of the clamping arm 3 on the pull rope 76 is reduced, and the downward pulling force of the other end of the pull rope 76 on the insulating slider 74 is reduced accordingly. The downward movement degree of the insulating slider 74 to overcome the elastic force of the second spring 75 is reduced, and the moving distance of the conductive ring 73 on the resistor rod 72 is also shortened accordingly, resulting in a decrease in the resistance value of the resistor rod 72 connected to the circuit and an increase in the circuit current. By connecting a measuring circuit at both ends of the resistor rod 72, the current change can be detected, and the electrical signal is amplified and filtered. The signal is then transmitted to the PLC controller 9. After receiving the signal, the PLC controller 9 increases the current of the electromagnetic block 635 through the control circuit, thereby enhancing its magnetic attraction to the permanent magnet block 634, so that the permanent magnet block 634 drives the movable ring 631 to move toward the electromagnetic block 635. The movable ring 631 squeezes the telescopic rod 632 and the first spring 633, so that the multiple frustum-shaped blocking heads 636 move out from the inside of the blowing hole 62, increasing the gap with the blowing hole 62, and thus increasing the air output, ensuring that the dust on the surface of the large-sized battery cell is completely cleaned, thereby improving the cleaning effect. On the contrary, if the battery cell size is small, the PLC controller 9 reduces the current passing through the electromagnetic block 635 to reduce the magnetic adsorption force, and the moving ring 631 drives the conical sealing head 636 close to the blowing hole 62, narrowing the gap between the conical sealing head 636 and the blowing hole 62 to reduce the air output. This design of adaptively adjusting the air output can not only avoid incomplete cleaning of large-sized battery cells due to insufficient airflow, but also prevent the risk of small-sized battery cells being blown over or shifted due to excessive airflow, thereby improving the system's flexible adaptability to battery cells of different specifications, ensuring that battery cells of all sizes can achieve the best cleaning effect before clamping, and ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of subsequent assembly.
