Then, the battery device is conveyed by the conveying device. During the conveying process, the battery device is cleaned again by the dust removal device. This not only automates the handling, conveying, and dust removal of the battery device, but also enables dust removal operations to be performed on the battery device while it is being handled and conveyed, thereby improving the efficiency of handling, conveying, and dust removal.

[0073] The embodiments of this application will now be described in detail.
[0074] During the production of battery devices, it is necessary to handle, transport, and clean the battery devices, such as handling individual battery cells before packaging.
[0075] In related technologies, battery devices are mostly handled and dusted manually, which has problems such as low handling efficiency, poor manual dust removal effect, and quality risks.
[0076] Therefore, improving the handling and dust removal efficiency of battery devices is an important issue in battery production and processing.
[0077] In view of this, this application provides a technical solution that solves the above-mentioned technical problems by integrating handling, conveying and dust removal functions into a battery handling device.
[0078] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-10 The structure of the battery handling device 100 provided in the embodiments of this application will be described.
[0079] Combined with appendix Figure 1As shown, this application embodiment provides a battery handling device 100, including a conveying device 10, a feeding device 20, a handling device 30, and a dust removal device 40. The conveying device 10 has a first loading position 1121 and a first discharging position 1122, and is used to convey battery devices 200 along a first direction X, where the first direction X is the arrangement direction from the first loading position 1121 to the first discharging position 1122. The handling device 30 is located on one side of the conveying device 10 and includes a handling mechanism 31 and a cleaning mechanism 32 connected to the handling mechanism 31. The handling mechanism 31 is used to move the battery devices 200 located on the feeding device 20 to the first loading position 1121, and the cleaning mechanism 32 is used to clean the battery devices 200. The dust removal device 40 is located between the first loading position 1121 and the first discharging position 1122, and is used to remove dust from the battery devices 200 on the conveying device 10.
[0080] The conveying device 10 has a first loading position 1121 and a first discharging position 1122, wherein the first loading position 1121 refers to an area of the conveying device 10, which can be like... Figure 4 The first loading position 1121, located at one end of the conveying device 10, or at other locations other than the end, has a certain surface area to facilitate the placement of the battery device 200. Similarly, the first discharging position 1122 can also be located at one end of the conveying device 10 or at other locations within the conveying device 10, and also has a certain surface area.
[0081] In some embodiments, the battery handling device 100 may further include a feeding device 20 for feeding the battery device 200 to the conveying device 10. The conveying device 10 is used to convey the battery device 200 along a first direction X, where the first direction X is the arrangement direction from the first loading position 1121 to the first unloading position 1122. In some embodiments, the first direction X may be one of the horizontal directions.
[0082] The feeding device 20 and the conveying device 10 can be arranged at intervals or closely together along the second direction Y. The handling device 30 and the conveying device 10 can also be arranged at intervals or closely together along the second direction Y. In some embodiments, the second direction Y is another horizontal direction that is perpendicular to the first direction X.
[0083] The conveying device 30 includes a conveying mechanism 31, which is mainly used to convey the battery device 200 located in the feeding device 20 to the first loading position 1121. The conveying mechanism 31 can be any structure capable of moving the battery device 200. Optional embodiments of the conveying mechanism 31 are given below.
[0084] The transport device 30 also includes a cleaning mechanism 32 connected to the transport mechanism 31. In other words, in addition to transporting the battery device 200, the transport device 30 in this embodiment can also perform initial cleaning of the battery device 200.
[0085] In some embodiments, the initial cleaning refers to the cleaning mechanism 32 removing welding slag from the battery device 200. Specifically, the cleaning mechanism 32 may be used to remove welding slag from the busbar of the battery device 200. Compared with manual cleaning of welding slag, the automatic cleaning by using the conveying mechanism 31 to drive the cleaning mechanism 32 can improve cleaning efficiency and effectiveness.
[0086] The dust removal device 40 is located between the first loading position 1121 and the first discharging position 1122, and is used to remove dust from the battery device 200 again, so that the battery device 200 can be dusted at the same time during the handling and conveying process, thereby further improving the efficiency of conveying and dust removal.
[0087] Secondary dust removal refers to the removal of dust from the battery device 200 on the conveying device 10 by means of blowing, sweeping, or negative pressure adsorption by the dust removal device 40. This embodiment does not impose too many restrictions on this.
[0088] After the cleaning unit 32 performs a cleaning, the dust removal device 40 performs a second cleaning to remove dust and clean areas that were not cleaned in the first cleaning, thereby improving the cleaning effect.
[0089] As can be seen from the above description, the battery handling equipment 100 in this embodiment is designed to include a conveying device 10, a feeding device 20, a handling device 30, and a dust removal device 40. The feeding device 20 is used to feed the battery device 200, and the handling device 30 is used to move the battery device 200 from the feeding device 20 to the conveying device 10 for initial cleaning. Then, the battery device 200 is conveyed by the conveying device 10. During the conveying process, the dust removal device 40 performs a second dust removal on the battery device 200. This not only automates the handling, conveying, and dust removal of the battery device 200, but also enables the battery device 200 to be dusted simultaneously during handling and conveying, thereby improving the efficiency of handling, conveying, and dust removal.
[0090] Combined with appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 3As shown, in some examples, optionally, the conveying mechanism 31 includes a first frame 311, a drive assembly 312, and a clamping assembly 313. The first frame 311 is located on one side of the first loading position 1121 along the second direction Y, which intersects with the first direction X. One end of the drive assembly 312 is mounted on the first frame 311, and the other end of the drive assembly 312 is a free end 31211. The clamping assembly 313 and the cleaning mechanism 32 are respectively mounted on the free end 31211. The drive assembly 312 is used to drive the clamping assembly 313 and the cleaning mechanism 32 to move, so that the clamping assembly 313 can clamp the battery device 200, or the cleaning mechanism 32 can clean the battery device 200.
[0091] The first frame 311 is mainly used as the mounting base for the drive assembly 312. It can include the first support leg 3111 and the first support platform 3112, or other frame structures, as long as they can meet the requirements for stable installation of the drive assembly 312 and the installation height.
[0092] One end of the drive assembly 312 is mounted on the first frame 311. The mounting method can be a fixed connection or a detachable connection or other mechanical connection. The other end of the drive assembly 312 is a free end 31211. The free end 31211 can move in at least two of the first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z in the figure. In some embodiments, the free end 31211 can move in the first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z in the figure respectively, so that the clamping member on the free end 31211 has more degrees of freedom.
[0093] The drive assembly 312 may include a robotic arm 3121 capable of moving in six degrees of freedom. The robotic arm 3121 includes multiple rotational and telescopic structures to realize the movement of the free end 31211 in six degrees of freedom. Of course, other structures that can drive the clamping assembly 313 to move in six degrees of freedom are also within the scope of this embodiment.
[0094] The clamping assembly 313 and the cleaning mechanism 32 are respectively installed on the free end 31211, so that when the free end 31211 moves, it can simultaneously drive the clamping assembly 313 and the cleaning mechanism 32 to the battery device 200 on the feeding device 20.
[0095] In some embodiments, the phrase "at the battery device 200" in the above-described movement of the clamping assembly 313 and the cleaning mechanism 32 to the battery device 200 on the feeding device 20 can refer to the area above the battery device 200 on the feeding device 20, or the front / back (first direction X) or left / right (second direction Y) side of the battery device 200 on the feeding device 20.
[0096] The handling mechanism 31 is designed to include a first frame 311, a drive component 312 and a clamping component 313. The drive component 312 drives the clamping component 313 to move to handle the battery device 200, thereby automating the handling process. At the same time, the drive component 312 also drives the cleaning mechanism 32 to move, thus realizing the multi-purpose function of the drive component 312.
[0097] In some examples, optionally, the drive assembly 312 includes a robotic arm 3121 and a first rotating member 3122. The robotic arm 3121 has a free end 31211, and the first rotating member 3122 is rotatably mounted on the free end 31211 about its own axis. The clamping assembly 313 and the cleaning mechanism 32 are respectively connected to the first rotating member 3122 and are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the first rotating member 3122. The rotation of the first rotating member 3122 drives the conveying device 30 to switch between a clamping state and a cleaning state. In the clamping state, the clamping assembly 313 is positioned towards the battery device 200 to be conveyed, and the cleaning mechanism 32 is positioned away from the battery device 200 to be conveyed. In the cleaning state, the cleaning mechanism 32 is positioned towards the battery device 200 to be cleaned, and the clamping assembly 313 is positioned away from the battery device 200 to be cleaned.
[0098] The robotic arm 3121 can move along the first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z in the figure. The first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z intersect each other. In some embodiments, the first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other. The first direction X and the second direction Y are horizontal directions and the third direction Z is a vertical direction.
[0099] The clamping assembly 313 and the cleaning mechanism 32 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the first rotating member 3122, which means that the clamping assembly 313 and the cleaning mechanism 32 are located at different positions along the circumference of the first rotating member 3122 and are spaced apart. For example, in the figure, the clamping assembly 313 and the cleaning mechanism 32 are arranged oppositely along one of the radial directions of the first rotating member 3122.
[0100] The first rotating component 3122 can be an electric component driven by electricity, a hydraulic rotating component driven by hydraulic pressure, or a pneumatic component, as long as it can rotate on the free end 31211. Similarly, the second rotating component 3123 described below is also like this.
[0101] The axial direction of the first rotating member 3122 can be set along the first direction X as shown in the figure, or it can be set along the second direction Y or the third direction Z. As long as it can drive the clamping assembly 313 and the cleaning mechanism 32 to rotate when the first rotating member 3122 rotates, so that one of the clamping assembly 313 and the cleaning mechanism 32 is located on the battery device 200 on the feeding device 20, thereby realizing the switching of the conveying device 30 between the clamping state and the cleaning state.
[0102] When the battery handling device 100 includes the feeding device 20 and the handling device 30 is in a clamping state, the clamping component 313 can be positioned directly above the battery device 200 on the feeding device 20, and the cleaning mechanism 32 is positioned away from the battery device 200 on the feeding device 20. The battery device 200 can be directly clamped by the clamping action of the clamping component 313. When the handling device 30 is in a cleaning state, the cleaning mechanism 32 is positioned directly above the battery device 200 on the feeding device 20, and the clamping component 313 is positioned away from the battery device 200 on the feeding device 20. This design can reduce the possibility of interference between the clamping component 313 and the cleaning mechanism 32.
[0103] In some embodiments, the drive assembly 312 may further include a second rotating member 3123, which is rotatably mounted on the free end 31211 about its own axis. A first rotating member 3122 is rotatably mounted on the second rotating member 3123 about its own axis. The axes of the first rotating member 3122 and the second rotating member 3123 are perpendicular. The clamping assembly 313 and the cleaning mechanism 32 are respectively connected to the second rotating member 3123 and are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the second rotating member 3123.
[0104] The purpose of configuring the second rotating member 3123 is that when the cleaning mechanism 32 is located directly above the battery device 200 of the feeding device 20, the cleaning mechanism 32 can be driven by the second rotating member 3123 to perform the cleaning action.
[0105] Of course, at least one of the first rotating member 3122 and the second rotating member 3123 can be used to rotate the clamping assembly 313 to face the battery device 200, and then clamp the battery device 200. When it is necessary to clean the battery device 200, at least one of the first rotating member 3122 and the second rotating member 3123 can be used to drive the cleaning mechanism 32 to rotate to face the battery device 200. Then, the rotation of the first rotating member 3122 or the second rotating member 3123 can drive the cleaning mechanism 32 to rotate slightly, thereby cleaning the battery device 200, which can improve the flexibility of the cleaning mechanism 32.
[0106] In this embodiment, the drive component 312 is designed to include a first rotating member 3122 and a second rotating member 3123. The clamping component 313 and the cleaning mechanism 32 are respectively connected to the first rotating member 3122. The position of the clamping component 313 and the cleaning mechanism 32 can be switched by rotating one of the first rotating member 3122 and the second rotating member 3123, selectively clamping and cleaning the battery device 200. The cleaning mechanism 32 can be driven to perform cleaning action by rotating the other of the first rotating member 3122 and the second rotating member 3123, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency.
[0107] In some examples, the clamping assembly 313 may optionally include a first clamping arm 3131 and a second clamping arm 3132 disposed opposite to each other, the first clamping arm 3131 and the second clamping arm 3132 being able to move closer or further apart to clamp the battery device 200, the first clamping arm 3131 having a first protrusion 31311 for engaging with the battery device 200 on the side facing the second clamping arm 3132, and / or the second clamping arm 3132 having a second protrusion 31321 for engaging with the battery device 200 on the side facing the first clamping arm 3131.
[0108] The first clamping arm 3131 and the second clamping arm 3132 can be strip-shaped or block-shaped, etc. This embodiment will not make too much of an interpretation of this. The first clamping arm 3131 and the second clamping arm 3132 can move closer to or further away from each other to clamp the battery device 200. This can be achieved by both the first clamping arm 3131 and the second clamping arm 3132 moving at the same time, or by one of the first clamping arm 3131 and the second clamping arm 3132 moving to achieve this.
[0109] The movement of the first clamping arm 3131 and the second clamping arm 3132 can be driven by a drive structure. The drive structure can be a cylinder, an electric cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or a mechanism that can convert rotary motion into linear motion (such as a gear rack, crank connecting rod, etc.) driven by a motor.
[0110] Taking the first clamping arm 3131 having a first protrusion 31311 on the side facing the second clamping arm 3132 and the second clamping arm 3132 having a second protrusion 31321 on the side facing the first clamping arm 3131 as an example, the positions of the first protrusion 31311 and the second protrusion 31321 are set relative to each other along the second direction Y in the figure.
[0111] The first protrusion 31311 and the second protrusion 31321 can extend into the gap of the battery device 200 and engage with the battery device 200, thereby improving the stability of the clamping assembly 313 during the handling of the battery device 200.
[0112] In some embodiments, the first protrusion 31311 and the second protrusion 31321 can be elastic protrusions, for example, the first protrusion 31311 and the second protrusion 31321 can be made of urethane, so that the first protrusion 31311 and the second protrusion 31321 have a certain deformation ability and can more easily enter the gap of the battery device 200.
[0113] The gap in the battery assembly 200 can be a gap between two adjacent battery cells or a gap on the battery housing.
[0114] In some examples, the clamping assembly 313 may optionally include a bidirectional telescopic member 3133, which has a first telescopic portion 31331 and a second telescopic portion 31332 that are telescopic along its length direction, with a first clamping arm 3131 mounted on the first telescopic portion 31331 and a second clamping arm 3132 mounted on the second telescopic portion 31332.
[0115] The bidirectional telescopic component 3133 can be any drive structure with a first telescopic part 31331 and a second telescopic part 31332 capable of reversing telescopic movement. For example, the bidirectional telescopic component 3133 can be a double-piston cylinder, a double-piston electric cylinder, a double-piston hydraulic cylinder, a gear and rack reversing mechanism (which makes the racks move in opposite directions by meshing the gear with two parallel racks), a synchronous belt / chain reversing mechanism (which uses a closed loop of a ring synchronous belt or chain to change the direction through an idler wheel, making the moving parts on both sides move in opposite directions), a linkage mechanism (scissor mechanism), a screw and nut reversing mechanism, a hydraulic / pneumatic symmetrical cylinder group (two single-acting cylinders or hydraulic cylinders are arranged symmetrically and achieve synchronous reverse movement by sharing a common air source / oil circuit), etc.
[0116] Taking a dual-piston cylinder as an example, the first telescopic part 31331 and the second telescopic part 31332 are the piston rods of the dual-piston cylinder, the first clamping arm 3131 is connected to the first telescopic part 31331, and the second clamping arm 3132 is connected to the second telescopic part 31332. The connection method can be a fixed connection or a detachable connection or other mechanical connection methods.
[0117] In this embodiment, the clamping assembly 313 is designed to include a bidirectional telescopic member 3133. The bidirectional telescopic member 3133 can simultaneously drive the first clamping arm 3131 and the second clamping arm 3132 to move closer or further away, so that the first clamping arm 3131 and the second clamping arm 3132 can clamp the battery device 200 more efficiently and quickly.
[0118] Combined with appendix Figure 4 As shown, in some examples, optionally, the conveying device 10 includes a second frame 11, a first conveying mechanism 12, a first conveying tray 13, and a plurality of first limiting mechanisms 14. The second frame 11 is provided with a first loading position 1121 and a first unloading position 1122. The first conveying mechanism 12 is mounted on the second frame 11. The first conveying tray 13 is mounted on the first conveying mechanism 12 and is used to place the battery device 200. The first conveying mechanism 12 is used to convey the first conveying tray 13 along a first direction X. The plurality of first limiting mechanisms 14 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X on the second frame 11 and are configured to limit or release the first conveying tray 13.
[0119] The structure of the second frame 11 is not limited, as long as it can accommodate the installation of the first conveying mechanism 12, the first conveying tray 13, and multiple first limiting mechanisms 14.
[0120] In some embodiments, the second frame 11 includes two first fixed frames 111 and two first conveyor frames 112. The two first fixed frames 111 are arranged at intervals along a first direction X, and the two first conveyor frames 112 are connected between the two first fixed frames 111. The two first conveyor frames 112 are arranged parallel to each other along a second direction Y, and the lower parts of the two first conveyor frames 112 can be connected to each other.
[0121] The first loading position 1121 can be located at one end of the first conveyor frame 112 along the first direction X, and the second loading position can be located at the other end of the first conveyor frame 112 along the second direction Y.
[0122] The first conveying mechanism 12 includes two first conveying components 121. The first conveying components 121 can be belt drive components, roller conveying components or chain drive components. The two first conveying components 121 are installed one by one on two first conveying frames 112. The first limiting mechanism 14 is located between the two first conveying frames 112, or the first limiting mechanism 14 is located between the two first conveying components 121.
[0123] The first conveying tray 13 is provided with one or more limiting brackets 131 for placing batteries, and the first conveying tray 13 is respectively installed on two first conveying assemblies 121 on both sides along the second direction Y.
[0124] The number of first limiting mechanisms 14 can be two or more. For example, a first limiting mechanism 14 can be set below the first loading position 1121, a first limiting mechanism 14 can be set at the position directly opposite the dust removal device 40, and a first limiting mechanism 14 can also be set below the first unloading position. Thus, when the first conveying pallet 13 reaches the first loading position 1121, the first unloading position, and the dust removal position, the first conveying pallet 13 can stop conveying, so as to facilitate the material handling device 30 to load materials, the dust removal device 40 to remove dust, and subsequent dust removal detection and other operations.
[0125] Combined with appendix Figure 5 As shown, in some examples, optionally, the first limiting mechanism 14 includes a first telescopic member 141 and a first limiting member 142. The first telescopic member 141 is mounted on the second frame 11 and is used to drive the first limiting member 142 to move along the third direction Z. The first limiting member 142 limits the first conveying tray 13. The third direction Z intersects with the first direction X and the second direction Y respectively. The second direction Y intersects with the first direction X. The second direction Y is the arrangement direction of the conveying device 10 to the feeding device.
[0126] The first telescopic component 141 can be a telescopic structure such as a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or electric cylinder, and the first limiting component 142 can be a limiting plate, limiting block, or limiting rod.
[0127] The first telescopic member 141 can be located below the first conveying mechanism 12. When it is necessary to stop the first conveying pallet 13 from conveying along the first direction X, the first telescopic member 141 drives the first limiting member 142 to rise, so that the first limiting member 142 engages with the first conveying pallet 13, or the first limiting member 142 lifts the first conveying pallet 13, so that the conveying mechanism cannot drive the first conveying pallet 13 to continue moving for feeding, dust removal or dust removal detection and other operations.
[0128] When the above-mentioned feeding, dust removal or dust removal test is completed, the first telescopic member 141 drives the first limiting member 142 to descend, thereby releasing the limit on the first conveying tray 13.
[0129] Combined with appendix Figure 1 As shown, in some examples, the battery handling device 100 may optionally include a feeding device 20 for feeding the battery device 200 to the conveying device 10, and a handling device 30 for handling the battery device 200 on the feeding device 20 to the first loading position 1121.
[0130] This allows for the automation of feeding the battery device 200. The feeding device 20 can transport the battery device 200 to a designated location, which also facilitates the handling device 30 in moving the battery device 200.
[0131] Combined with appendix Figure 6 and attached Figure 7 As shown, in some examples, optionally, the feeding device 20 includes a third frame 21, a second conveying mechanism 22, a second conveying tray 23, and a second limiting mechanism 24. The third frame 21 and the conveying device 10 are arranged parallel to each other along the second direction Y, which intersects with the first direction X. The second conveying mechanism 22 is mounted on the third frame 21, and the second conveying tray 23 is mounted on the second conveying mechanism 22 and is used to place the battery device 200. The second conveying mechanism 22 is used to drive the second conveying tray 23 to move along the first direction X. The second limiting mechanism 24 is mounted on the third frame 21 at a position opposite to the first loading position 1121 along the second direction Y and is configured to limit the second conveying tray 23 or release the limit on the second conveying tray 23.
[0132] In some embodiments, the third frame 21 may include a second fixed frame 211 and two second conveyor frames 212. Along the first direction X, the second fixed frame 211 is located between two first fixed frames 111, and one end of each of the two second conveyor frames 212 is connected to the second fixed frame 211. The two second conveyor frames 212 are parallel to each other and their bottoms are mounted on the same foundation, and each second conveyor frame 212 is parallel to the two first conveyor frames 112.
[0133] The second conveying mechanism 22 includes two second conveying components 221. The second conveying components 221 can be belt drive components, roller conveying components or chain drive components. The two second conveying components 221 are installed on the two second conveying frames 212. The second limiting mechanism 24 is located between the two second conveying frames 212. Alternatively, the second limiting mechanism 24 can be said to be located between the two second conveying components 221.
[0134] The second conveyor frame 212 has one end facing away from the first loading position 1121 and one end close to the first loading position 1121. The battery device 200 can enter the second conveyor tray 23 on the second conveyor frame 212 from the end facing away from the first loading position 1121. The second conveyor tray 23 is placed on the second conveying assembly 221, and the second conveying assembly 221 drives the second conveyor tray 23 to move towards the first loading position 1121.
[0135] When the second conveying component 221 moves the second conveying tray 23 to a certain position (for example, when the second conveying tray 23 and one of the first conveying trays 13 are positioned opposite or nearly opposite each other along the second direction Y), the second limiting mechanism 24 limits the second conveying tray 23, thereby facilitating the handling device 30 to move the battery device 200 on the second conveying tray 23 to the first conveying tray 13.
[0136] In this embodiment, the feeding device 20 is designed to include a third frame 21, a second conveying mechanism 22, a second conveying tray 23, and a second limiting mechanism 24. The second conveying tray 23 is used to place the battery device 200 to improve the stability of the battery device 200 during the feeding process. The second conveying mechanism 22 is used to convey the second conveying tray 23 to achieve automated feeding. The second limiting mechanism 24 is used to fix the position of the second conveying tray 23 on the second conveying mechanism 22, thereby facilitating the picking up of the battery device 200 by the handling device 30.
[0137] In some examples, the second limiting mechanism 24 may optionally include a first limiting component 241 and a second limiting component 242, the first limiting component 241 being used to limit the second conveying pallet 23 at least along a first direction X, and the second limiting component 242 being used to limit the second conveying pallet 23 at least along a second direction Y.
[0138] The first limiting component 241 is used to limit the second conveying pallet 23 at least along the first direction X, meaning that the first limiting component 241 can limit the second conveying pallet 23 along the first direction X, and can also limit the second conveying pallet 23 along the second direction Y and / or the third direction Z in the figure.
[0139] Taking the first limiting component 241 limiting the second conveying pallet 23 along the first direction X as an example, the first limiting component 241 can support the second conveying pallet 23 in the limiting state, so that the second conveying pallet 23 is separated from or partially separated from the second conveying mechanism 22, thereby stabilizing the position of the second conveying pallet 23 along the first direction X.
[0140] Similarly, the second limiting component 242 is used to limit the second conveying pallet 23 at least along the second direction Y, which also means that the second limiting component 242 can limit the second conveying pallet 23 along the second direction Y, and can also limit the second conveying pallet 23 along the first direction X and / or the third direction Z.
[0141] In this embodiment, the second limiting mechanism 24 is designed to include a first limiting component 241 and a second limiting component 242, which can limit the second conveying pallet 23 in the first direction X and the second direction Y, thereby improving the stability of the position of the second conveying pallet 23 during the limiting process.
[0142] In some examples, the first limiting component 241 may optionally include a second telescopic member 2411 and a second limiting member 2412. The second telescopic member 2411 is mounted on the third frame 21 and is used to drive the second limiting member 2412 to move along the third direction Z. The second limiting member 2412 is used to limit the engagement of the second conveying tray 23 on one side along the first direction X. The third direction Z intersects the first direction X and the second direction Y, respectively.
[0143] The second telescopic member 2411 has the same or similar structure as the first telescopic member 141 mentioned above. For example, the second telescopic member 2411 can also be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder or electric cylinder. The second limiting member 2412 can be a plate-shaped member used to support the second conveying pallet 23, or a block-shaped or rod-shaped limiting structure that can be directly inserted into the bottom of the second conveying pallet 23. As long as it can limit the second conveying pallet 23 in the first direction X, it is acceptable.
[0144] When the second conveying pallet 23 needs to be limited along the first direction X, the second telescopic member 2411 drives the second limiting member 2412 to rise to support or insert the second conveying pallet 23, so that the second conveying pallet 23 rises to disengage from the second conveying mechanism 22. In this state, the handling device 30 can directly remove the battery device 200 on the fixed position of the second conveying pallet 23 and then move it to the first conveying pallet 13.
[0145] When it is necessary to release the restriction on the second conveying pallet 23, the second telescopic member 2411 drives the second limiting member 2412 to descend, so as to release the connection between the second limiting member 2412 and the second conveying pallet 23, so that the second conveying pallet 23 can be placed on the second conveying mechanism 22, and the second conveying mechanism 22 continues to drive the empty second conveying pallet 23 to unload.
[0146] In some examples, the second limiting assembly 242 optionally includes two third telescopic members 2421 and two third limiting members 2422. The two third telescopic members 2421 are mounted on both sides of the third frame 21 along the second direction Y. The two third limiting members 2422 are connected to the two third telescopic members 2421. The two third telescopic members 2421 drive the two third limiting members 2422 to move along the second direction Y to clamp the second conveying tray 23 located between the two third limiting members 2422.
[0147] The third telescopic member 2421 may have a similar or identical structure to the first telescopic member 141 and the second telescopic member 2411 mentioned above. For example, the third telescopic member 2421 may also be a cylinder, an electric rod, or a hydraulic cylinder.
[0148] The third limiting member 2422 can be a limiting plate or a limiting block, etc. The third limiting member 2422 and the third telescopic member 2421 connected to it form a telescopic limiting structure. The two telescopic limiting structures are installed on the two second conveyor frames 212 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the first limiting component 241 is located between the two telescopic limiting structures.
[0149] When the second conveying pallet 23 needs to be limited, the first limiting component 241 first lifts the second conveying pallet 23, and then the two third limiting components 2422 clamp the second conveying pallet 23 on both sides along the second direction Y under the drive of the two third telescopic components 2421, further improving the stability of the position of the second conveying pallet 23 during the limiting process.
[0150] Combined again with the appendix Figure 7 As shown, in some examples, optionally, a third limiting component 231 is mounted on the second conveyor tray 23 for limiting the battery device 200 located on the second conveyor tray 23.
[0151] The third limiting component 231 can limit the battery device 200 in at least one of the first direction X and the second direction Y, and can also limit the battery device 200 in all three directions: the first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z.
[0152] The third limiting component 231 can have various structural forms, as long as it can improve the stability of the battery device 200 on the second conveying tray 23. The third limiting component 231 reduces the possibility that the position of the battery device 200 will shift during the feeding process, which may affect the subsequent handling device 30's clamping, and facilitates the subsequent feeding device 20 to pick up the battery device 200.
[0153] In some examples, optionally, the third limiting component 231 includes two fourth limiting members 2311 and two fifth limiting members 2312. The two fourth limiting members 2311 are spaced apart along a first direction X on the second conveying tray 23, and the distance between the two fourth limiting members 2311 along the first direction X is adjustable. The two fifth limiting members 2312 are spaced apart along a second direction Y on the second conveying tray 23, and the distance between the two fifth limiting members 2312 along the second direction Y is adjustable. The two fourth limiting members 2311 and the two fifth limiting members 2312 enclose a limiting space for limiting the battery device 200.
[0154] The fourth limiting member 2311 and the fifth limiting member 2312 can be structures such as limiting blocks and limiting plates, and this embodiment does not impose too many restrictions on them.
[0155] Two fourth limiting members 2311 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X on the second conveying tray 23, and the interval between the two fourth limiting members 2311 is greater than or equal to the size of the battery device 200 along the first direction X.
[0156] The distance between the two fourth limiting members 2311 along the first direction X is adjustable. This can be understood as one or both of the four fourth limiting members 2311 being able to adjust their positions along the first direction X. The adjustment can be achieved by using a telescopic member to drive the adjustment, or by having multiple mounting positions along the first direction X on the second conveying tray 23, and adjusting the distance between the two fourth limiting members 2311 by connecting the fourth limiting members 2311 to different mounting positions.
[0157] Similarly, two fifth limiting members 2312 are arranged at intervals along the second direction Y on the second conveying tray 23, and the interval between the two fifth limiting members 2312 is greater than or equal to the size of the battery device 200 along the second direction Y.
[0158] The distance between the two fifth limiting members 2312 along the second direction Y is adjustable, which can also be understood as one or both of the two fifth limiting members 2312 being able to adjust their position along the second direction Y, and the adjustment method is the same as the adjustment method of the fourth limiting member 2311.
[0159] In this embodiment, the third limiting component 231 is designed to include two fourth limiting members 2311 and two fifth limiting members 2312. The two fourth limiting members 2311 and two fifth limiting members 2312 can limit the battery device 200 along the first direction X and the second direction Y, thereby improving the stability of the battery device 200 on the second conveying tray 23 during the feeding process.
[0160] Combined again with the appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 As shown, in some examples, the cleaning mechanism 32 may optionally include a cleaning brush 321 and / or a first negative pressure suction component 322.
[0161] The cleaning brush 321 may include a brush body and bristles mounted on the brush body. The bristles of the cleaning brush 321 may be made of soft materials such as animal hair or rubber, or hard plastic, as long as they can remove welding slag from the manifold.
[0162] The first negative pressure adsorption element is located near the cleaning brush 321, and both face the same direction. In some embodiments, the first negative pressure adsorption element may include a first negative pressure adsorption conduit, the negative pressure of which may be provided by an external negative pressure generating device or by the negative pressure generating mechanism 43 described below.
[0163] The cleaning mechanism 32 is designed to include a cleaning brush 321 and a first negative pressure suction component 322. After the cleaning brush 321 cleans the welding slag and dust on the battery device 200, the first negative pressure suction component 322 can adsorb and collect the welding slag and dust, effectively removing the welding slag and dust while reducing the possibility of secondary pollution of the battery device 200 by the welding slag and dust.
[0164] In some examples, the dust removal device 40 optionally includes a fourth frame 41, a second negative pressure suction component 42, and a negative pressure generating mechanism 43. The second negative pressure suction component 42 is mounted on the fourth frame 41 and is arranged along the third direction Z towards the conveying device 10. The third direction Z intersects with the first direction X and the second direction Y respectively. The second direction Y intersects with the first direction. The second direction Y is the arrangement direction of the conveying device 10 to the transport device 30. The negative pressure generating mechanism 43 is connected to the first negative pressure suction component 322 and the second negative pressure suction component 42 respectively, and provides negative pressure adsorption force for the first negative pressure suction component 322 and the second negative pressure suction component 42.
[0165] The fourth frame 41 includes a second support leg 411 and a support frame 412 mounted on the second support leg 411. The second negative pressure suction device 42 is mounted on the support frame 412. In some embodiments, the support frame 412 is located directly above the conveying device 10. The second conveying device 10 may be configured with a first limiting component 241 below the support frame 412, so that the first conveying tray 13 can stop conveying when it is located below the support frame 412, thereby enabling the second negative pressure suction device 42 to perform suction operation on the battery device 200.
[0166] The second negative pressure dust collection component 42 may include a dust collection hood 421 and a second negative pressure adsorption pipe 422 connected to the dust collection hood 421. The second negative pressure adsorption pipe 422 is connected to the negative pressure generating mechanism 43. The opening of the dust collection hood 421 is set towards the second conveying device 10. The negative pressure of the second negative pressure adsorption pipe 422 can make the dust collection hood 421 suck the dust on the battery device 200 into the dust collection hood 421, which can effectively improve the dust removal efficiency and effect of the battery device 200.
[0167] The negative pressure generating mechanism 43 may include a negative pressure fan 431 and an air inlet pipe 432. The negative pressure fan 431 may be connected to the aforementioned first negative pressure adsorption pipe and second negative pressure adsorption pipe 422 respectively. The negative pressure generating mechanism 43 provides negative pressure adsorption force to the first negative pressure dust collection component 322 and the second negative pressure dust collection component 422 at the same time, and adsorbs and removes the air containing dust through the first negative pressure adsorption pipe and the second negative pressure adsorption pipe 422. Fresh air is also replenished through the air inlet pipe 432, realizing the multi-purpose function of the negative pressure generating mechanism 43 and reducing costs.
[0168] Combined again with the appendix Figure 1 As shown, in some examples, optionally, there are two feeding devices 20 and two conveying devices 30, with the two feeding devices 20 arranged along a second direction Y, the second direction Y intersecting the first direction X, the conveying device 10 located between the two feeding devices 20, and the two conveying devices 30 arranged along the second direction Y, the two conveying devices 30 being used to pick up and put down the battery devices 200 on the two feeding devices 20 in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0169] Two feeding devices 20 are located on both sides of the conveying device 10 along the second direction Y, and each feeding device 20 has a certain distance from the conveying device 10.
[0170] The first frames 311 of the two conveying devices 30 are placed at one end of the two third frames 21. Specifically, the first support platform 3112 of the first frame 311 is located directly above the two second conveyor frames 212 of the third frame 21. The two sets of drive assemblies 312 and clamping assemblies 313 of the two conveying devices 30 are mounted on the two first frames 311.
[0171] One set of drive components 312 and clamping components 313 is used to move the battery device 200 on one of the feeding devices 20 to the first feeding position 1121, and the other set of drive components 312 and clamping components 313 is used to move the battery device 200 on another feeding device 20 to the first feeding position 1121.
[0172] In this embodiment, the number of feeding device 20 and conveying device 30 is set to two, and the two sets of feeding device 20 and conveying device 30 can improve the feeding efficiency.
[0173] Combined with appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 8 As shown, in some examples, the battery handling equipment 100 may optionally include a detection device 50 for detecting the surface dust treatment effect of the battery device 200 at the first discharge position 1122.
[0174] The detection device 50 can be a vision detection device 50, a laser detection device 50, or an infrared detection device 50, as long as it can remove dust from the surface of the battery device 200.
[0175] The detection device 50 can be located on one side of the first discharge position 1122. The battery device 200 first passes through the dust removal device 40 to remove dust before reaching the first discharge position 1122, and then passes through the detection device 50 to detect the dust removal effect.
[0176] The detection device 50 detects the surface dust treatment effect of the battery device 200 after dust removal by the dust removal device 40. It can be understood that the detection device 50 stores preset standards (such as the area threshold of dust, the upper limit of the number of dust particles, the diameter of dust, etc.). When the characteristics of the detected dust exceed the preset standards, the dust removal is judged to be unqualified. When the characteristics of the detected dust do not exceed the preset standards, the dust removal is judged to be qualified. The battery device 200 that passes the test can proceed to the next process. The battery device 200 that fails the test needs to be cleaned again.
[0177] In some examples, the detection device 50 may optionally include a fifth frame 51, a light source mechanism 52, and an image acquisition mechanism 53. The fifth frame 51 is mounted on one side of the first discharge position 1122 along the second direction Y, which intersects the first direction. The light source mechanism 52 is mounted on the fifth frame 51 in a manner that allows its position to be adjusted along the third direction Z. The third direction Z intersects the first direction X and the second direction Y, respectively.
[0178] The detection device 50 in this technical solution is a visual detection device 50. Its principle is to capture a high-definition image of the surface of the battery device 200, then perform image processing such as contrast enhancement, noise reduction, and edge sharpening. Furthermore, it uses algorithms (such as threshold segmentation and morphological operations) to identify the shape, size, and location of dust particles (e.g., white spots or shadow areas). Finally, the extracted dust features are compared with preset standards (e.g., area threshold, quantity limit) to determine whether the dust removal is qualified (e.g., dust diameter > 50 μm or density exceeding the limit is considered unqualified).
[0179] The dust removal effect is achieved through visual inspection, which has the advantages of being non-contact, fast (millisecond-level) in detection, suitable for online inspection, and meeting the handling and conveying conditions of battery devices.
[0180] The fifth frame 51 is installed on one side of the first discharge position 1122 along the second direction Y. The fifth frame 51 mainly serves as the installation foundation for the light source mechanism 52 and the image acquisition mechanism 53. Its structural form is not limited, as long as it can meet the installation requirements of the light source mechanism 52 and the image acquisition mechanism 53.
[0181] The light source mechanism 52 can be a ring light source, Figure 8 The light source mechanism 52 can include LED light sources or other special wavelength light sources (such as ultraviolet or infrared light sources).
[0182] The image acquisition mechanism 53 may include a vision camera 531, which is used to acquire surface images of the battery device 200, and a light source mechanism 52 is used to enhance target features, improve detection accuracy, and highlight dust or defects on the battery surface.
[0183] The light source mechanism 52 can eliminate ambient light interference and provide stable and uniform illumination, while adapting to different surface characteristics (such as diffused light to treat reflections and direct light to enhance texture). In addition, the high-brightness light source supports high-speed imaging, meeting the rapid inspection needs of the production line.
[0184] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the light source mechanism 52 and / or the image acquisition mechanism 53 can be adjusted along the third direction Z on the fifth frame 51. Specifically, at least one of the light source mechanism 52 and the image acquisition mechanism 53 can be adjusted in position along the third direction Z on the fifth frame 51. This structure can adjust the incident angle of light, thereby enhancing target features (such as shadows or reflections of dust), improving contrast, and also adjusting the coverage of the light source to reduce the possibility of uneven illumination or missed detection.
[0185] By flexibly adjusting the spacing and height of the light source mechanism 52 and the image acquisition mechanism 53, different battery types (such as soft pack / hard shell), surface characteristics (smooth / rough) and detection targets (dust / scratches / size) can be quickly adapted, improving system stability and detection accuracy.
[0186] Combined with appendix Figure 9 As shown, in some examples, optionally, the fifth frame 51 includes two first mounting plates 511 arranged opposite each other along the second direction Y, each first mounting plate 511 having a first sliding hole 5111, and the light source mechanism 52 includes a light source element 521 and two locking elements 522. The light source element 521 is slidably connected to the first sliding hole 5111 at opposite ends along the first direction X, and the two locking elements 522 are connected to the opposite ends of the light source element 521 along the first direction X and are used to lock the light source element 521 to the first mounting plate 511.
[0187] The fifth frame 51 has a box structure with one side open. The two first mounting plates 511 are the two side walls of the box structure. In addition to the first mounting plates 511, the fifth frame 51 also includes two second mounting plates 512 arranged opposite each other along the third direction Z, and a base plate 513 that connects the two first mounting plates 511 and the two second mounting plates 512 respectively. The surface of the base plate 513 is perpendicular to the second direction Y. The image acquisition mechanism 53 is mounted on the base plate 513.
[0188] To facilitate the adjustment of the position of the light source mechanism 52, in this embodiment the light source mechanism 52 is designed to include a light source component 521 and two locking components 522, and the first mounting plate 511 is designed to have a sliding hole extending in the third direction Z, and the two ends of the light source component 521 are slidably connected to the two sliding holes of the two first mounting plates 511.
[0189] Two locking components 522 are connected to the two ends of the light source component 521. The connection method can be threaded connection or plug connection, etc. Taking the locking component 522 as a bolt as an example, the locking component 522 has a nut located on the outside of the box structure. When the light source component is fixed, the nut presses against the outer wall surface of the first mounting plate 511. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the light source component, the locking component 522 is turned to release the nut from pressing against the first mounting plate 511, so that the light source component can slide along the sliding surface. This adjustment structure is not only simple to adjust, but also can improve the stability of the light source component after adjustment when locking the light source component.
[0190] Combined with appendix Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the image acquisition mechanism 53 can be designed to include a camera 531, a first adjustment mechanism 532 and a second adjustment mechanism 533, with the camera 531 mounted on the first adjustment mechanism 532, the first adjustment mechanism 532 mounted on the second adjustment mechanism 533, and the second adjustment mechanism 533 mounted on the aforementioned base plate 513.
[0191] The first adjustment mechanism 532 can adjust the position of the first adjustment mechanism 532 and the camera 531 along the third direction Z, and the second adjustment mechanism 533 can adjust the position of the camera 531 along the second direction Y, so that the camera 531 is in a reasonable image acquisition position.
[0192] The first adjustment mechanism 532 may include a first adjustment knob 5321 and a first transmission structure (not shown in the figure). The second adjustment mechanism 533 may include a second adjustment knob 5331 and a second transmission structure (not shown in the figure). The first transmission structure is a transmission structure that converts the rotary motion of the first adjustment knob 5321 into linear motion, such as a screw-nut pair or a gear-rack pair. Similarly, the second transmission structure is also like this.
[0193] In some embodiments, the number of light source mechanisms 52 is two arranged along the third direction Z, and the image acquisition mechanism 53 is located between the two light source mechanisms 52. The two light source mechanisms 52 can provide better light source coverage, thereby improving the accuracy of image acquisition by the image acquisition mechanism 53.
