Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of conductive connection, and specifically relates to an assembly mechanism for keeping combined pole pieces clamped, and more particularly to a pole piece assembly mechanism, a battery stack material preassembly device and a working method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Pole piece assembly is a key step in the battery stack manufacturing process.

[0003] The electrode assembly device in the related art usually adopts a fixed pressing structure. During the assembly process, the matching accuracy between the electrode frame and the pressing plate is required to be extremely high. However, since the side walls of the pressing plate of the existing pressing device are mostly rigid structures (such as flat or simple inclined surface designs), during the falling process of the electrode frame, the inner edge of the electrode frame is very likely to lose its level due to placement errors or vibrations, causing it to tilt and then get stuck on the side walls around the pressing plate. As a result, when the pressing frame is pressed against the electrode frame, the electrode frame is easily damaged, resulting in a decrease in the yield of the assembled electrode. At the same time, the jamming phenomenon not only causes the assembly process to be interrupted, but also requires manual intervention for repeated adjustments, which significantly reduces production efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, how to prevent the electrode frame from being stuck around the pressing plate during electrode assembly is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0005] It should be noted that the above information disclosed in this background technology section is only used to understand the background technology of the present application concept, and therefore, the above description is not considered to constitute information of the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The embodiments of the present disclosure at least provide a pole piece assembly mechanism, a battery stack material preassembly device, and a working method thereof.

[0007] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a pole piece assembly mechanism, comprising: Assemble the board; a rotating arm disposed above the assembly plate; a first lifting assembly, which is arranged on the rotating arm, and a pressing frame is connected to the end of the first lifting assembly, and the pressing frame is used to press the pole piece frame onto the assembly plate; a second lifting assembly, which is arranged on the rotating arm, and a pressing plate is connected to the end of the second lifting assembly, and the pressing plate is used to press the membrane electrode onto the assembly plate; Wherein, the pressing frame is provided with a square opening adapted to the pressing plate; The side walls of the pressing plate are all embedded with elastic anti-stuck parts; When the pressing frame is separated from the pressing plate, the elastic anti-stuck member extends from the side wall of the pressing plate to form a horizontal support for the inner edge of the pole piece frame 710 that falls into the pressing plate 600; When the square opening of the pressing frame is sleeved on the pressing plate, the elastic anti-carding part is squeezed to accommodate the elastic anti-carding part into the side wall of the pressing plate, thereby pressing the electrode frame onto the assembly plate and cooperating with the membrane electrode to complete the assembly.

[0008] In an optional embodiment, the side wall of the pressing plate includes an inclined guide surface and a vertical butt joint surface; The inclined guide surface is arranged above the vertical butt joint surface, and the four inclined guide surfaces of the pressing plate are arranged in a closed shape from bottom to top.

[0009] In an optional embodiment, the vertical docking surface is provided with a receiving groove; The elastic anti-stuck component is elastically connected to the accommodating groove via a return spring.

[0010] In an optional embodiment, the protruding end of the elastic anti-stuck member is provided with an adjustment surface and a vertical guide surface; Furthermore, the adjustment surface is arranged above the vertical guide surface; Wherein, the inclination direction of the adjustment surface is consistent with the inclination direction of the inclined guide surface; When the pressing frame is separated from the pressing plate, the return spring returns to its natural state. At this time, part of the adjustment surface extends from the accommodating groove, and the horizontality of the pole piece frame falling into the pressing plate is adjusted by the adjustment surface. When the square mouth of the pressing frame is placed on the pressing plate, it drives the electrode frame to move downward and squeezes the adjustment surface at the same time to complete the adjustment of the horizontality of the electrode frame. After the elastic anti-blocking part is accommodated in the side wall of the pressing plate, the electrode frame falls vertically along the vertical docking surface and cooperates with the membrane electrode under the pressing of the pressing frame to complete the assembly.

[0011] In an optional embodiment, the inclination angle of the inclined guide surface is α; The inclination angle of the adjustment surface is β; The range of α is between 60° and 80°, and the range of β is between 20° and 40°.

[0012] In an optional embodiment, the bottom surface of the pressing plate is provided with an air suction hole; The air suction hole is communicated with the receiving groove; When the elastic anti-stuck member extends from the accommodating groove, the membrane electrode is adsorbed on the bottom surface of the pressing plate through the suction hole, thereby preventing the pressing plate from being misaligned with the membrane electrode when the pressing plate deviates.

[0013] In an optional embodiment, the first lifting assembly includes: a first cylinder and a second cylinder; The first cylinder and the second cylinder are arranged opposite to each other and are both connected to the rotating arm; The ends of the piston rods of the first cylinder and the second cylinder are fixedly connected to the pressing frame.

[0014] In an optional embodiment, the second lifting assembly includes: The third cylinder and the gripping head; The third cylinder is connected to the rotating arm; Furthermore, the grabbing head is fixedly arranged on the piston rod of the third cylinder and is used for grabbing the pressing frame.

[0015] In an optional embodiment, a first regulating cylinder and a second regulating cylinder are respectively provided on two adjacent side walls of the assembly plate; A pusher plate is provided on the piston rod of the first regulating cylinder and the second regulating cylinder; Furthermore, the first regulating cylinder and the second regulating cylinder are used to adjust the position of the membrane electrode placed on the assembly plate by the external robotic arm so that the center point of the membrane electrode coincides with the center point of the assembly plate.

[0016] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a stack material preassembly device, comprising: work platform; A fuel cell stack pre-assembly mechanism, which is provided on the work platform and is used for assembling the fuel cell stack; Two pole piece assembly mechanisms as described above, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the stack pre-assembly mechanism and are used to assemble cathode pieces and anode pieces respectively; A robotic arm used to transport battery stack materials; The control module is configured to control the robotic arm to place the corresponding battery stack materials in sequence on the corresponding electrode assembly mechanism to complete the assembly of the cathode and anode sheets, and to alternately place the assembled cathode and anode sheets on the battery stack pre-assembly mechanism to complete the pre-assembly of the battery stack.

[0017] In a third aspect, the present disclosure also provides a method for operating the stack material preassembly device as described above. The method includes: The control module controls the robotic arm to place the corresponding electrode frame and membrane electrode to the corresponding electrode assembly mechanism; The control module controls the corresponding electrode assembly mechanism to complete the assembly of the cathode and anode sheets; The control module controls the robotic arm to alternately place the assembled cathode sheets and anode sheets on the stack pre-assembly mechanism; The control module controls the stack pre-assembly mechanism to complete the assembly of the stack materials.

[0018] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that the electrode assembly mechanism, battery stack material pre-assembly device and working method thereof provide elastic anti-jamming parts on the side walls of the pressing plate, so that when the pressing frame is separated from the pressing plate, the elastic anti-jamming parts can automatically and dynamically adjust the horizontality of the electrode frame that falls into the pressing plate, effectively avoiding the problem of tilting and jamming of the electrode frame; when the pressing frame and the pressing plate are pressed together, the elastic anti-jamming parts are compressed and retracted, which not only ensures the precise assembly of the electrode frame and the membrane electrode, but also prevents the damage of the electrode caused by rigid contact through elastic buffering, thereby significantly improving the assembly yield of the battery stack electrode.

[0030] Research has found that in related technologies, during the falling process of the pole piece frame, the horizontality of the inner edge of the pole piece frame will decrease and tilt, which will cause the pole piece frame to be stuck on the side walls around the pressing plate, resulting in the pole piece frame being easily damaged when the pressing frame is pressed against the pole piece frame.

[0031] Based on the above research, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a pole piece assembly mechanism, a battery stack material pre-assembly device and a working method thereof. By setting an elastic anti-stuck component 610, the horizontality of the pole piece frame 710 is dynamically adjusted, thereby avoiding the problem of tilting and jamming of the pole piece frame 710.

[0032] The defects in the above solutions are the results obtained by the inventors after practice and careful research. Therefore, the discovery process of the above problems and the solutions proposed by the present disclosure in this article should be the contributions made by the inventors to the present disclosure during the disclosure process.

[0033] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined or explained in subsequent drawings.

[0034] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features therein may be combined with each other.

[0035] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 At least one embodiment provides a pole piece assembly mechanism, comprising: an assembly plate 100; a rotating arm 200, which is arranged above the assembly plate 100; a first lifting component 300, which is arranged on the rotating arm 200, and the end of the first lifting component 300 is connected to a pressing frame 500, and the pressing frame 500 is used to press the pole piece frame 710 onto the assembly plate 100; a second lifting component 400, which is arranged on the rotating arm 200, and the end of the second lifting component 400 is connected to a pressing plate 600, and the pressing plate 600 is used to press the membrane electrode 720 onto the assembly plate 100; wherein, the pressing frame 500 is provided with a square opening 510 adapted to the pressing plate 600; the side walls of the pressing plate 600 are embedded with elastic anti-stuck parts 610.

[0036] When the pressing frame 500 is separated from the pressing plate 600, the elastic anti-stuck member 610 extends from the side wall of the pressing plate 600. Figure 3 As shown, the pole piece frame 710 (along the Figure 3F in the middle) forms a horizontal support to prevent the pole piece frame 710 from being stuck with the side wall of the pressing plate 600; when the square opening 510 of the pressing frame 500 is sleeved on the pressing plate 600, the elastic anti-stuck member 610 is squeezed in the extrusion direction as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 5 , the elastic anti-stuck member 610 is accommodated in the side wall of the pressing plate 600, and the schematic diagram of the pressing plate 600 is shown in FIG. Figure 5 As described above, the electrode frame 710 is pressed onto the assembly plate 100 and matched with the membrane electrode 720 to complete the assembly.

[0037] By arranging an elastic anti-jamming component 610 on the side wall of the pressing plate 600, when the pressing frame 500 is separated from the pressing plate 600, the elastic anti-jamming component 610 can automatically and dynamically adjust the horizontality of the pole piece frame 710 that falls into the pressing plate 600, effectively avoiding the problem of the pole piece frame 710 being tilted and stuck; when the pressing frame 500 and the pressing plate 600 are pressed together, the elastic anti-jamming component 610 is compressed and retracted, which not only ensures the precise assembly of the pole piece frame 710 and the membrane electrode 720, but also prevents the pole piece damage caused by rigid contact through the elastic buffering effect, thereby significantly improving the assembly yield of the battery stack pole piece.

[0038] See also Figure 3 The sidewalls of the press plate 600 include inclined guide surfaces 650 and vertical docking surfaces 660. The inclined guide surfaces 650 are positioned above the vertical docking surfaces 660, and the four inclined guide surfaces 650 of the press plate 600 are arranged in a closed shape from bottom to top. The closed-shaped inclined guide surfaces 650 on the sidewalls of the press plate 600 form a guide channel. The inclined guide surfaces 650 guide the pole piece frame 710 as it falls, causing it to fall into the elastic anti-stuck member 610. The falling press frame 500 squeezes the elastic anti-stuck member 610 to adjust the horizontality of the pole piece frame 710.

[0039] See also Figure 6 The vertical docking surface 660 defines a receiving groove 640 ; the elastic anti-stuck member 610 is elastically connected to the receiving groove 640 via a return spring 620 . Specifically, the extended end of the elastic anti-stuck member 610 is provided with an adjustment surface 611 and a vertical guide surface 612 ; the adjustment surface 611 is disposed above the vertical guide surface 612 ; the inclination direction of the adjustment surface 611 is consistent with the inclination direction of the inclined guide surface 650 .

[0040] When the pressing frame 500 is separated from the pressing plate 600, the reset spring 620 returns to its natural state. At this time, part of the adjustment surface 611 extends from the accommodating groove 640, and the horizontality of the electrode frame 710 that falls into the pressing plate 600 is adjusted through the adjustment surface 611; when the square opening 510 of the pressing frame 500 is sleeved on the pressing plate 600, it drives the electrode frame 710 to move downward, and at the same time squeezes the adjustment surface 611 to complete the adjustment of the horizontality of the electrode frame 710. After the elastic anti-locking part 610 is accommodated in the side wall of the pressing plate 600, the electrode frame 710 falls vertically along the vertical docking surface 660, and under the pressing of the pressing frame 500, cooperates with the membrane electrode 720 to complete the assembly.

[0041] By designing the gradient angles of the adjustment surface 611 and the vertical guide surface 612, a dual-stage horizontal calibration mechanism is formed. This allows for graded control of coarse and fine adjustments, effectively eliminating positional deviations of the electrode frame 710 and improving assembly accuracy between the electrode and membrane electrode 720.

[0042] Please continue reading Figure 6 Specifically, the inclined guide surface 650 has an inclination angle of α, and the adjustment surface 611 has an inclination angle of β. α ranges from 60° to 80°, and β ranges from 20° to 40°. The inclination angle α is greater than the inclination angle β, so that the inclined guide surface 650 quickly guides the pole piece frame 710 and the pressing frame 500. When the pressing frame 500 is pressed downward, the pole piece frame 710 is pressed against the adjustment surface 611, and the adjustment surface 611 fine-tunes the horizontality of the pole piece frame 710, thereby reducing the sticking of the pole piece frame 710.

[0043] See also Figure 6 The bottom surface of the pressing plate 600 is provided with an air suction hole 630; the air suction hole 630 is connected to the accommodating groove 640; when the elastic anti-stuck component 610 extends from the accommodating groove 640, the membrane electrode 720 is adsorbed on the bottom surface of the pressing plate 600 through the air suction hole 630, thereby preventing the pressing plate 600 from being misaligned with the membrane electrode 720 when an offset occurs.

[0044] The membrane electrode 720 is adsorbed through the suction hole 630 to avoid displacement of the pressing plate 600 when the pressing frame 500 is pressed down, resulting in misalignment between the pressing plate 600 and the membrane electrode 720, thereby ensuring the matching accuracy between the electrode frame 710 and the membrane electrode 720.

[0045] See also Figure 7The first lifting assembly 300 includes: a first cylinder 310 and a second cylinder 320; the first cylinder 310 and the second cylinder 320 are arranged opposite to each other and are both connected to the rotating arm 200; the ends of the piston rods of the first cylinder 310 and the second cylinder 320 are fixedly connected to the pressing frame 500, and the second lifting assembly 400 includes: a third cylinder 410 and a grabbing head 420; the third cylinder 410 is connected to the rotating arm 200; and the grabbing head 420 is fixedly arranged on the piston rod of the third cylinder 410 and is used to grab the pressing frame 500.

[0046] To ensure the matching accuracy between the membrane electrode 720 and the pressing plate 600, please continue to refer to Figure 1 A first adjusting cylinder 110 and a second adjusting cylinder 120 are respectively provided on the two adjacent side walls of the assembly plate 100; a push plate is provided on the piston rods of the first adjusting cylinder 110 and the second adjusting cylinder 120; and the first adjusting cylinder 110 and the second adjusting cylinder 120 are used to adjust the position of the membrane electrode 720 placed on the assembly plate 100 by the external robotic arm, so that the center point of the membrane electrode 720 coincides with the center point of the assembly plate 100.

[0047] The center point of the membrane electrode 720 is adjusted by the first regulating cylinder 110 and the second regulating cylinder 120 to ensure that the membrane electrode 720 and the pressing plate 600 are completely overlapped.

[0048] It should be noted that the size of the membrane electrode 720 is adapted to the size of the bottom surface of the pressing plate 600 .

[0049] See also Figure 8 and Figure 10 The embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a battery stack material preassembly device, including: a work platform 800; a battery stack preassembly mechanism 900, which is arranged on the work platform 800 and is used for assembling the battery stack; two electrode assembly mechanisms as mentioned above, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the battery stack preassembly mechanism 900 and are respectively used to assemble cathode sheets and anode sheets; a robotic arm for transporting battery stack materials; a control module, which is configured to control the robotic arm to place the corresponding battery stack materials on the corresponding electrode assembly mechanisms in sequence, complete the assembly of the cathode sheets and the anode sheets, and alternately place the assembled cathode sheets and anode sheets on the battery stack preassembly mechanism 900 to complete the preassembly of the battery stack.

[0050] See also Figure 9 The present disclosure also provides a method for operating the stack material preassembly device as described above. The method includes: S110: The control module controls the robotic arm to place the corresponding electrode frame 710 and membrane electrode 720 to the corresponding electrode assembly mechanism; S120: The control module controls the corresponding electrode assembly mechanism to complete the assembly of the cathode and anode sheets; S130: The control module controls the robotic arm to alternately place the assembled cathode sheets and anode sheets on the stack pre-assembly mechanism 900; S140: The control module controls the stack pre-assembly mechanism 900 to complete the assembly of the stack materials.

By arranging an elastic anti-stuck component 610 on the side wall of the pressing plate 600, when the pressing frame 500 is separated from the pressing plate 600, the elastic anti-stuck component 610 can automatically and dynamically adjust the horizontality of the pole piece frame 710 that falls into the pressing plate 600, effectively avoiding the problem of tilting and jamming of the pole piece frame 710; when the pressing frame 500 and the pressing plate 600 are pressed together, the elastic anti-stuck component 610 is compressed and retracted, which not only ensures the precise assembly of the pole piece frame 710 and the membrane electrode 720, but also prevents the pole piece damage caused by rigid contact through elastic buffering, thereby significantly improving the assembly yield of the battery stack pole piece.
