Its performance directly impacts the safety, stability, and charge and discharge efficiency of the battery system.
[0003] Welding is a critical process in the manufacturing of conductive bars for new energy vehicle batteries. Since conductive bars are typically made of metal materials such as copper and aluminum, these metal materials easily react with oxygen in the air, forming an oxide layer.

Therefore, before welding, the oxide layer must be polished off the welded parts of the conductive bars to ensure good weld quality.

[0014] A method for automatically polishing conductive bars based on a fully automatic polishing device for conductive bars of new energy vehicles comprises the following steps: Step S1.

When the target electric bar clamping mechanism moves to the grinding station, the positioning drive cylinder of the mobile positioning module drives the positioning rotary connecting rod to rotate, driving the positioning pin on the movable block to insert into the positioning groove of the electric bar clamping mechanism, achieving precise positioning of the tooling; Step S2.

The two groups of alloy grinding wheels are forced to strictly synchronize the mirror relative movement to ensure that the double-sided grinding depth of the electric grinding is completely symmetrical, and completely solve the problem of tilted grinding caused by the independent drive of the traditional two machines. The electrical conductivity judgment mechanism of the conductive alloy wheel: when the two grinding wheels contact the surfaces on both sides of the electric grinding wheel at the same time, a conductive loop is automatically formed, and the grinding action is directly triggered without the need for additional sensors, which simplifies the system structure and avoids misjudgment. The grinding transmission mechanism is linked to the mirror transmission module: through hierarchical motion control, the overall positioning is performed first and then the mirror adjustment is performed to eliminate the cumulative positioning error and ensure the precise alignment of the grinding wheel and the electric grinding wheel. The conductive properties of the alloy grinding wheel work in conjunction with the mirror motion: using electrical conduction as a real-time feedback signal of physical contact, automatic calibration of the grinding zero point is achieved, avoiding accuracy fluctuations caused by human intervention.
[0016] The present invention realizes the stable clamping and cyclic transmission of the electric bar by combining a chain transmission mechanism with a bar clamping mechanism. The use of the chain transmission mechanism ensures the continuity and stability of the electric bar during the grinding process, avoiding the errors and inefficiency caused by manual operation. The multiple groups of the bar clamping mechanism further improve the production capacity of the device, making mass production possible. The coordinated work of the grinding transmission mechanism and the grinding mechanism ensures the precise control of the grinding process. The grinding transmission mechanism is responsible for driving the movement of the grinding mechanism, and the grinding mechanism consists of a mirror transmission module, a grinding drive module and an alloy grinding wheel. The design of the mirror transmission module enables the two groups of grinding drive modules to move relative to each other in a mirrored manner, thereby synchronously grinding the two sides of the electric bar, ensuring the flatness and consistency of the surface of the electric bar. The method of simultaneous double-sided grinding not only improves the grinding efficiency, but also effectively reduces the deformation problem of the electric bar caused by single-sided grinding. The selection of the alloy grinding wheel and its conductive properties provide additional safety guarantees and quality monitoring measures for the grinding process. As a conductive wheel, the alloy grinding wheel forms an electrical connection when in contact with an electric rod. This connection allows for real-time monitoring of the grinding status and ensures a smooth grinding process. Furthermore, the wear resistance and durability of the alloy material ensure the stable performance of the grinding wheel over long periods of use, reducing maintenance costs. This embodiment achieves high efficiency, high precision, and high reliability in electric rod grinding. This significantly improves production efficiency, reduces labor costs, and ensures high product quality standards.
[0017] This automated electric bar grinding method, based on the fully automatic grinding device for conductive bars used in new energy vehicles, utilizes transmission positioning and layered clamping for zero-displacement machining. The cyclic transmission and locating pin slot mechanism utilizes chained multi-station flow and physical locking of the locating pins to eliminate transmission cumulative errors and achieve high repeatability. Synchronously constraining the lateral displacement and surface vibration of the conductive bar solves chatter issues during thin-walled conductive bar machining and improves clamping rigidity. Dual-stage positioning using XZ-axis coarse adjustment and mirror fine adjustment eliminates mechanical system backlash errors and achieves high alignment accuracy. By combining current intensity, pressure threshold, and duration, it replaces traditional sensors, reducing the false trigger rate to below 0.1% and improving zero-point calibration efficiency. Dynamic layered grinding continuously executes three stages: rough grinding, fine grinding, and chamfering. Segmented speed reduction and compensation control simultaneously achieve thorough oxide layer removal and substrate protection. Chamfering is performed simultaneously during mirror motion, eliminating edge burrs caused by traditional secondary clamping. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The tower-shaped frame 331 is responsible for the connection with the grinding spindle 321, ensuring stability and accuracy during the grinding process. The grinding ring 332 is cleverly arranged at the end of the tower-shaped frame 331, directly acting on the surface of the electric bar, and effectively removing the oxide layer thereon. The tower-shaped structure gives the grinding wheel better mechanical properties, so that the grinding wheel can maintain good balance under high-speed rotation, avoiding uneven grinding caused by vibration. The combined design of the tower frame 331 and the grinding ring 332 not only increases the grinding area but also optimizes the force transmission path, making the grinding force more evenly distributed, thereby improving grinding efficiency and surface finish. The unique design of the tower frame 331 also enhances the durability of the grinding wheel. Under long-term, high-load working conditions, the tower frame 331 effectively disperses stress, reduces wear, and extends the life of the grinding wheel.

The outside of the protective cover 333 is further configured with a dust collection duct 334. The dust collection duct 334 can collect dust generated by the alloy grinding wheel 33 during the grinding process in real time, effectively reducing the dust concentration in the workshop, improving the working environment, and reducing occupational health risks.

Transmission positioning: driving multiple groups of conductive bar clamping mechanisms 4 to move cyclically along the circular track 12 through a chain transmission mechanism 1. When the target conductive bar clamping mechanism 4 moves to the grinding station, the positioning driving cylinder 151 of the mobile positioning module 15 drives the positioning rotating connecting rod 152 to rotate, driving the positioning pin 154 on the movable block 153 to insert into the positioning groove of the conductive bar clamping mechanism 4, thereby realizing precise positioning of the tooling; Step S2. Layered clamping and fixing: driving the first clamping plate 441 to clamp the side of the conductive bar through the first clamping driving module 44, and at the same time driving the second clamping plate 451 to press the surface of the conductive bar through the second clamping driving module 45, so that the rear end of the conductive bar is fixed between the clamping fixture 42 and the clamping support seat 43; Step S3. Mirror feeding: driving the mirror transmission module 31 to move as a whole through the XZ axis transmission module 22 , so that the two sets of alloy grinding wheels 33 approach the end face of the electric row to be polished; step S4. synchronous mirror grinding: start the synchronous belt drive of the mirror transmission module 31, drive the two sets of grinding drive modules 32 to move relative to each other in a mirrored manner, and at the same time, the servo motor drives the alloy grinding wheel 33 to rotate at high speed; step S5. real-time conductive judgment: when the two sets of alloy grinding wheels 33 contact the surfaces on both sides of the electric row at the same time, an electrical conduction loop is formed, triggering the grinding depth control signal; detect the electrical conduction signal and verify: the contact pressure reaches 0.5-0.8MPa; the current intensity is stable in the range of 5-20mA; the signal duration is ≥10ms; trigger the reference zero point calibration after the conditions are met; step S6. dynamic grinding execution: with the electrical conduction trigger position as the reference zero point, control the mirror transmission module 31 to drive the alloy grinding wheel 33 to feed synchronously according to the preset compensation amount Δd, and remove the oxide layer on the surface of the electric row through the pyramidal grinding ring 332; perform layered feeding according to the aluminum row grinding process: During the rough grinding phase, the feed compensation amount Δd1 is fed at a speed of 0.8-1.2 mm / s to remove the oxide layer. During the fine grinding phase, the feed speed is reduced to 0.3-0.5 mm / s and the feed amount Δd2 is fed to control the surface roughness Ra ≤ 1.6 μm. During edge processing, the mirror transmission module 31 is driven to tilt at an angle θ, and an additional compensation amount Δd_e = 0.1-0.2 mm is added for chamfering. In this embodiment, the transmission positioning and layered clamping of the workpiece are based on zero-displacement processing. The cyclic transmission and positioning pin 154 slot mechanism: chain multi-station flow and physical locking of the positioning pin 154 eliminate transmission cumulative errors and achieve high repeatability positioning accuracy. Synchronously constraining the lateral displacement and surface vibration of the EDM solves the problem of vibration during thin-wall EDM processing and improves clamping rigidity. Two-stage positioning of XZ axis coarse adjustment + mirror fine adjustment: first overall approximation and then mirror micro-feeding avoids the return clearance error of the mechanical system and achieves high alignment accuracy. By combining current intensity, pressure threshold, and duration, this system replaces traditional sensors, reducing the false trigger rate to below 0.1% and improving zero-point calibration efficiency. Dynamic layered grinding continuously executes three stages: rough grinding, fine grinding, and chamfering. Segmented speed reduction and compensation control simultaneously achieve thorough oxide layer removal and substrate protection. Chamfering is performed simultaneously in a mirrored motion, eliminating edge burrs caused by traditional secondary clamping.
[0033] Specifically, the transmission and positioning step S1 ensures the precise positioning of the electric row at the grinding station. The synergistic effect of the chain transmission mechanism 1 and the mobile positioning module 15 realizes the efficient cyclic movement and precise positioning of the electric row clamping mechanism 4, laying the foundation for the subsequent grinding process. It improves production efficiency and ensures the consistency of the starting position of each grinding, thereby improving the overall quality of the product. The layered clamping and fixing step S2 ensures the stability and safety of the electric row during the grinding process through the dual effects of the first clamping drive module 44 and the second clamping drive module 45. It can effectively prevent the electric row from being displaced or deformed during high-speed grinding, ensuring grinding accuracy and surface flatness. The mirror feeding S3 and synchronous mirror grinding S4 steps further improve the uniformity and symmetry of grinding. The coordinated use of the XZ axis transmission module 22 and the mirror transmission module 31 enables the two sets of alloy grinding wheels 33 to move synchronously and relative to each other, and at the same time, the servo motor drives the alloy grinding wheel 33 to rotate at high speed, ensuring the efficiency and consistency of the grinding process. It is suitable for electric busbars that need to be polished on both sides at the same time, which can significantly shorten the processing time and improve the yield rate. The conductive real-time judgment S5 step introduces a detection mechanism for the conductive circuit, which realizes the precise control of the polishing depth. Through the comprehensive verification of contact pressure, current intensity and signal duration, the reference zero point calibration is triggered to ensure the accuracy and stability of the polishing depth. It effectively avoids the problems of over-polishing or under-polishing, and improves the reliability and consistency of the product. The dynamic polishing execution S6 step realizes the fine processing of the electric busbar surface through layered feeding in three stages: rough grinding, fine grinding and edge processing. The rough grinding stage quickly removes the oxide layer, the fine grinding stage finely adjusts the surface roughness, and the edge processing stage performs chamfer grinding. The whole process not only ensures the polishing efficiency, but also takes into account the surface quality and edge integrity. The multi-stage polishing strategy not only improves the appearance quality of the electric busbar, but also enhances its electrical performance and mechanical strength. This embodiment achieves high efficiency, high precision and high quality of electric busbar surface treatment through key technologies such as precise positioning, stable clamping, mirror polishing, real-time judgment and dynamic execution.
