Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery processing technology, specifically to a battery batch testing and transmission device and method. Background Technology

[0002] In the mass production process of battery packs, the processing of individual cells is a key link to ensure the overall performance and quality of the battery pack. This process usually includes multiple continuous steps such as tray loading, OCV (open circuit voltage) testing, barcode scanning and traceability, and material sorting.

[0003] However, existing processing equipment has obvious shortcomings in handling the above-mentioned processes: on the one hand, each process relies on independently operated special equipment, such as tray loading machines, OCV testers, barcode scanners, and material sorting machines, which are often deployed separately. There is a lack of efficient integrated connection structure between the equipment, resulting in a low degree of integration. On the other hand, gaps often occur in the connection between processes. For example, after the material trays are loaded, they need to be transferred to the OCV testing station via an additional conveyor line. After testing, manual intervention or a complex transfer mechanism is required before they can enter the barcode scanning process. The material sorting operation after barcode scanning also relies on an independent control system and conveyor path. This decentralized processing mode not only increases the equipment footprint and procurement costs, but also seriously affects the continuity and automation level of battery processing due to the long transfer time and low connection accuracy between processes. This can easily create production bottlenecks and make it difficult to meet the requirements of large-scale battery pack production for efficient, stable, and continuous processing.

[0022] Example 1:

[0023] See Figures 1 to 3As shown, this embodiment provides a battery batch testing and transmission device, which includes: a multi-station processing table 200 and a feeding mechanism 100, a voltage testing mechanism 300, a barcode scanning mechanism 400, a replacement mechanism 600, at least one flipping mechanism 500, and a discharging mechanism 700 arranged around the multi-station processing table 200. The multi-station processing table 200 includes a turntable 220 and multiple cups 240. The turntable 220 can rotate around a rotation center line 1001, and its edge is provided with multiple receiving slots 221. The multiple receiving slots 221 are arranged in pairs, and the multiple cups 240 are correspondingly arranged in the multiple receiving slots 221. After the battery to be processed is placed inside the cup 240 by the feeding mechanism 100, it passes through the voltage testing mechanism 300, the barcode scanning mechanism 400, at least one flipping mechanism 500, and the discharging mechanism 700 in sequence by the turntable 220. The voltage testing mechanism 300 has a testing end... The barcode scanners of the 320 and the scanning mechanism 400 are both positioned facing the battery to be processed; the replacement mechanism 600 includes a replacement gripper 620 and at least one material exchange table 630, the replacement gripper 620 moving between the turntable 220 and the material exchange table 630; at least one flipping mechanism 500 is disposed between the unloading mechanism 700 and the replacement mechanism 600, and includes a flipping gripper 530, which can grip and flip the detected battery. The positive and negative terminals of the two batteries in a set of receiving slots 221 are alternately arranged. The feeding mechanism 700 includes a feeding gripper 730 and a feeding tray 720. The feeding gripper 730 can move between the turntable 220 and the feeding tray 720. The feeding tray 720 is provided with multiple sets of paired material slots. The feeding gripper 730 simultaneously clamps two batteries in a set of receiving slots 221 and moves them into one of the paired material slots of the feeding tray 720.

[0024] The battery batch testing and transmission equipment described in this embodiment connects a feeding mechanism 100, a voltage testing mechanism 300, a barcode scanning mechanism 400, a replacement mechanism 600, at least one flipping mechanism 500, and a discharging mechanism 700 through multi-station processing. It can drive the batteries to be processed to pass through the above-mentioned stations in sequence and complete multiple processing steps accordingly. Among them, the feeding mechanism 100 can continuously feed the batteries to be tested, the voltage testing mechanism performs voltage testing on the batteries, the barcode scanning mechanism 400 can realize battery traceability management and quality tracking, the replacement mechanism 600 can replace the defective products on the turntable 220 in a timely manner to ensure that good products are continuously fed, the flipping mechanism 500 can flip the batteries before they are fed to ensure that two adjacent batteries can be fed in a "one positive and one negative" manner for subsequent processing, and the discharging mechanism 700 can work closely with the multi-station processing table 200 to realize the continuous feeding process of good batteries. The aforementioned structure is highly integrated, enabling battery transfer, detection, screening, and directional feeding. This not only improves the integration between various mechanisms and reduces space occupation, but also highly adapts to the current requirements of large-scale battery production for efficiency, precision, continuity, and traceability.

[0025] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the battery batch testing and transmission equipment provided in this embodiment also includes a machine base 800, on which the multi-station processing table 200, the feeding mechanism 100, the voltage testing mechanism 300, the barcode scanning mechanism 400, the replacement mechanism 600, at least one flipping mechanism 500 and the unloading mechanism 700 are all disposed.

[0026] See Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the multi-station processing table 200 serves as the core carrier and transfer structure of the battery batch testing and transmission equipment. The multi-station processing table 200 is responsible for carrying the batteries to be processed and ensuring they pass sequentially through various processing mechanisms. The turntable 220 can rotate around the rotation center line 1001. This circular motion can accurately deliver the batteries placed in the cup 240 to different process positions in a preset order. Specifically, the multi-station processing table 200 also includes a fixed base 210 and a rotary driver 230. The fixed base 210 is fixed to the mounting surface, and the rotary driver 230 is disposed on the fixed base 210. The turntable 220 is connected to the working end of the rotary driver 230, allowing the turntable 220 to rotate around the rotation center line 1001, wherein the rotation center line 1001 coincides with the axis of the turntable 220.

[0027] Furthermore, in this embodiment, multiple cups 240 are correspondingly arranged in the receiving slots 221 on the edge of the turntable 220, providing a stable placement space for the batteries and ensuring the positional accuracy of the batteries during transportation. The pairwise arrangement of the receiving slots 221, in conjunction with the subsequent flipping mechanism 500 and unloading mechanism 700, meets the process requirement of alternating forward and reverse battery arrangement. Specifically, the design of the multi-station processing table 200 greatly improves the continuity and efficiency of processing. The continuous rotation of the turntable 220 reduces the transfer time of batteries between processes, avoiding the frequent positioning and clamping operations required in traditional single-station processing. Simultaneously, the multi-station layout allows the equipment to process multiple batteries simultaneously, increasing the processing volume per unit time and improving overall productivity. In addition, the stable structure of the cups 240 and receiving slots 221 ensures that the batteries will not shift or fall during transportation, guaranteeing the accuracy and stability of inspection and processing.

[0028] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 100 is responsible for accurately placing the battery to be processed into the cup 240 of the multi-station processing table 200. It is the starting point of the entire battery processing process to ensure a continuous supply of batteries to be processed for subsequent processes. Further, the feeding mechanism 100 includes a feeding transmission component 110 and a feeding gripper 120. The feeding transmission component 110 includes a material box 113, a feeding module 112, and at least one feeding guide rail 111. The feeding module 112 and at least one feeding guide rail 111 both extend horizontally toward the multi-station processing table 200. The material box 113 is slidably connected to the feeding guide rail 111 and the feeding module 112. The battery to be tested is contained inside the material box 113 and moves synchronously with the material box 113. The feeding gripper 120 includes a feeding robotic arm 121 and a feeding clamp 122. The feeding robotic arm 121 is disposed on one side of the feeding transmission component 110, and the feeding clamp 122 is connected to the feeding robotic arm 121 and moves between the material box 113 and the multi-station processing table 200. The highly efficient feeding mechanism 100 significantly improves the overall production efficiency of the equipment. By quickly and accurately placing the batteries into the tray 240, it reduces the equipment's waiting time, allowing subsequent processes such as voltage testing and barcode scanning to be carried out in a timely manner.

[0029] See Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the voltage testing mechanism 300 performs voltage testing on the battery to be processed within the cup 240. Its testing end 320 is positioned facing the battery to be processed, enabling accurate contact with the battery's electrodes to acquire voltage data. This data is used to determine whether the battery's electrical performance meets the standards, providing a basis for subsequent screening and processing. In this embodiment, the voltage testing mechanism 300 also includes a first adjusting frame 310. The top of the first adjusting frame 310 is connected to the testing end 320, and it can move the testing end 320 up and down, thereby improving the compatibility and flexibility of the voltage testing mechanism 300.

[0030] In this embodiment, the scanning mechanism 400 uses a barcode scanner to scan the battery to be processed, reading the QR code or barcode information on the battery surface. This information typically includes the battery's production batch, model, production date, raw material information, etc. The scanning mechanism 400 transmits the read information to a subsequent data processing system for functions such as full lifecycle traceability management, quality tracking, and production process monitoring of the battery. Furthermore, the scanning mechanism 400 in this embodiment also includes a battery pushing component. The bottom of the receiving groove 221 and the cup 240 are both provided with interconnected through holes. The pushing component is located at the bottom of the through holes to push the battery through the cup 240 and the receiving groove 221, thereby ensuring that the battery's markings can enter the scanning range of the barcode scanner. By scanning, information from various stages of battery production, testing, and transportation can be linked together. In the event of a quality problem, traceability can be quickly achieved, thereby improving product quality control.

[0031] In this embodiment, the replacement mechanism 600 removes non-compliant batteries from the receiving slot 221 of the turntable 220 within the cup 240 and places them on the changing table 630. Simultaneously, it can also grab compliant spare batteries from the changing table 630 and place them back into the receiving slot 221 of the turntable 220, ensuring continuous operation of the production line and preventing interruptions to the entire processing flow due to individual battery issues. Furthermore, the replacement mechanism 600 also includes a three-axis module 610, which is disposed on one side of the changing table 630. The replacement gripper 620 is connected to the three-axis module 610, allowing horizontal and / or vertical movement between the multi-station processing table 200 and the changing table 630 via the three-axis module 610. The replacement mechanism 600 enhances the flexibility and fault tolerance of the equipment. When non-compliant batteries are found, they can be replaced promptly, maintaining the continuity of the production line, reducing downtime, and improving production efficiency. By making good use of the 630 battery exchange station to store spare batteries, the batteries required for the production line can be replenished quickly, avoiding production stoppages caused by waiting for new battery supplies.

[0032] Since the receiving slots 221 are arranged in pairs, the flipping mechanism 500 flips one of the batteries by 180°, causing the positive and negative terminals of the two batteries in one set of receiving slots 221 to be alternately arranged, thus meeting the process requirements for the staggered arrangement of positive and negative terminals in subsequent battery pack assembly. See Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the flipping mechanism 500 further includes a second adjusting frame 510, a flipping driver 520, and a flipping gripper 530. The second adjusting frame 510 is fixedly connected to the mounting surface, the flipping driver 520 is disposed on the second adjusting frame 510, and the flipping gripper 530 is connected to the working end of the flipping driver 520 to drive the battery to flip. Based on the above structural design, this application avoids adjusting the battery orientation during the battery pack assembly process, reducing the complexity and error probability of the assembly process, and improving assembly efficiency and quality.

[0033] In this embodiment, the battery batch testing and transmission device includes two flipping mechanisms 500. One of the flipping mechanisms 500 is disposed between the feeding mechanism 700 and the replacement mechanism 600, and the other flipping mechanism 500 is disposed between the voltage testing mechanism 300 and the barcode scanning mechanism 400, so that the batteries after voltage testing are arranged in the same direction.

[0034] See Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the unloading gripper is used to move qualified batteries to the unloading tray 720 for batch unloading. The unloading gripper 730 includes an unloading claw 734, an unloading horizontal module 731, an unloading lifting module 732, a slide 733, and a fine-tuning module 735. The unloading horizontal module 731 is connected to the mounting surface, the unloading lifting module 732 is slidably connected to the unloading horizontal module 731, and the slide 733 is slidably connected to the unloading horizontal module 731. The unloading lifting module 732 and the fine adjustment module 735 are mounted on the slide 733. The unloading gripper 734 is slidably connected to the fine adjustment module 735, thereby enabling precise movement of the unloading gripper 730. This allows it to move between the turntable 220 and the unloading tray 720. When the unloading gripper 730 moves to the turntable 220, it can simultaneously grip two batteries with alternating positive and negative terminals in a set of receiving slots 221, and then move them into a set of paired material slots in the unloading tray 720.

[0035] The unloading tray 720 is used to collect batteries after processing and testing for subsequent centralized transfer or entry into the next process. The unloading module 710 is mounted on the mounting surface, and the unloading tray 720 is slidably connected to the unloading module 710. This design, which simultaneously clamps two batteries at a time, improves unloading efficiency, matches the overall operating speed of the multi-station processing table 200, and reduces the battery's dwell time on the equipment. Furthermore, the paired material slots on the unloading tray 720 are adapted to the alternating arrangement of the positive and negative terminals of the batteries, ensuring that the batteries' storage state after unloading meets the requirements of subsequent processes, preparing them for subsequent battery pack assembly and other processes, thus improving the continuity and efficiency of the entire production process.

[0036] This embodiment also includes a control mechanism. The multi-station processing table 200, the feeding mechanism 100, the voltage testing mechanism 300, the barcode scanning mechanism 400, the replacement mechanism 600, at least one flipping mechanism 500, and the unloading mechanism 700 are respectively connected to the control mechanism. In actual production and processing, the operator can adjust the above structure in real time through the control mechanism, thereby improving the flexibility of the equipment. Parameters can also be preset through the control mechanism, thereby improving the automation level of the equipment.

[0037] Example 2:

[0038] This embodiment provides a battery batch testing and transmission method, which uses the battery batch testing and transmission device described in Embodiment 1 to perform batch testing and transmission of batteries, specifically including: Step S1: Continuously feed the batteries to be tested; Step S2: Perform a voltage test on the batteries after loading to distinguish between qualified and defective products. Then, scan and mark each battery individually. In this embodiment, step S2 specifically involves: Step S21: Perform a voltage test on the batteries after loading to distinguish between qualified and defective products; Step S22: Set the batteries in the same orientation after voltage testing so that the battery labels are all within the scanning range of the scanning mechanism 400; Step S23: The scanning mechanism 400 scans and marks each of the multiple batteries one by one. Step S3: Replace all the defective products after the voltage test with qualified products and then transmit them uniformly; Step S4: Adjust the positive and negative terminals of the qualified products so that the positive and negative terminals of two adjacent batteries in the unified transmission are alternately set; Step S5: Simultaneously unload and pack the batteries with alternating positive and negative electrodes into pairs.

[0039] In summary, the battery batch testing and transmission equipment and method of the present invention connects the feeding mechanism 100, voltage testing mechanism 300, barcode scanning mechanism 400, replacement mechanism 600, at least one flipping mechanism 500, and unloading mechanism 700 through multi-station processing. It can drive the batteries to be processed to pass through the above-mentioned stations in sequence and complete multiple processing steps accordingly. Among them, the feeding mechanism 100 can continuously feed the batteries to be tested, the voltage testing mechanism performs voltage testing on the batteries, the barcode scanning mechanism 400 can realize battery traceability management and quality tracking, the replacement mechanism 600 can replace the defective products on the turntable 220 in a timely manner to ensure that good products are continuously fed, the flipping mechanism 500 can flip the batteries before unloading to ensure that two adjacent batteries can be unloaded in a "one positive and one negative" manner for subsequent processing, and the unloading mechanism 700 can cooperate closely with the multi-station processing table 200 to realize the continuous unloading process of good batteries. The aforementioned structure is highly integrated, enabling battery transfer, detection, screening, and directional feeding. This not only improves the integration between various mechanisms and reduces space occupation, but also highly adapts to the current requirements of large-scale battery production for efficiency, precision, continuity, and traceability.
