Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. In addition, it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for illustration and explanation of this application and are not intended to limit this application. In this application, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper" and "lower" generally refer to the upper and lower positions of the device in actual use or operation, specifically the drawing directions in the accompanying drawings; while "inner" and "outer" refer to the outline of the device.

[0044] The following is combined with Figure 1 and Figure 17 This application describes the busbar welding assembly.

[0045] According to embodiments of this application, such as Figure 15 As shown, the busbar welding machine includes:

[0046] Body 47, with a worktable 471 formed thereon;

[0047] Busbar welding device 91 is provided on workbench 471. Busbar welding device 91 is used to weld busbar 1 and wire harness 2 together.

[0048] A busbar dispensing device 92 is located on a workbench 471 and is used to dispense adhesive onto a busbar.

[0049] The unloading device 93 is located on the workbench 471. The unloading device 93 is used to move the busbar connected with the wire harness to the unloading area.

[0050] A rotating moving device 61 is provided on the workbench 471. The rotating moving device 61 is used to carry the busbar with the welded wire harness and drive the busbar to move so that the busbar moves sequentially to the busbar dispensing device 92 and the feeding device 93.

[0051] According to the bus welding machine of this application embodiment, the bus welding device 91 can automatically weld the bus and the wire harness together. Then, the rotating moving device 61 moves the bus with the welded wire harness to the bus dispensing device 92, which can automatically dispense glue to the bus. Then, the rotating moving device 61 moves the bus to the unloading device 93, which automatically moves the bus to the unloading area. Thus, the automatic welding, automatic movement, automatic dispensing and automatic unloading of the bus are realized, which effectively improves the automation level of bus processing.

[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, the workbench 471 has a placement area for storing trays. The unloading device 93 includes an unloading moving component 931, which is located on the workbench 471 and is used to move the busbar from the busbar dispensing device 92 to the tray.

[0053] Understandably, the busbar can be automatically moved to the tray by the unloading moving component 931, thus realizing automatic unloading of the busbar.

[0054] In some embodiments, such as Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, the feeding moving assembly 931 includes a first feeding drive 9311, a second feeding drive 9312, a feeding adsorption component 9313, and a feeding clamping component 9314. The second feeding drive 9312 is connected to the first feeding drive 9311. The feeding adsorption component 9313 and the feeding clamping component 9314 are both connected to the second feeding drive 9312. The first feeding drive 9311 is used to drive the second feeding drive 9312 to move horizontally relative to the busbar dispensing device 92. The second feeding drive 9312 is used to drive the feeding adsorption component 9313 and the feeding clamping component 9314 to move vertically relative to the busbar dispensing device 92. The feeding adsorption component 9313 is used to adsorb the busbar, and the feeding clamping component 9314 is used to clamp the wire harness.

[0055] Understandably, the first feeding drive component 9311 can drive the second feeding drive component 9312 to move horizontally, causing the feeding adsorption component 9313 and the feeding clamping component 9314 to move horizontally as well. The second feeding drive component 9312 can drive the feeding adsorption component 9313 and the feeding clamping component 9314 to move vertically. Thus, through the cooperation of the first feeding drive component 9311 and the second feeding drive component 9312, the feeding adsorption component 9313 and the feeding clamping component 9314 can move in the horizontal and vertical directions, thereby accurately adjusting the relative position between the feeding adsorption component 9313 and the busbar, and accurately adjusting the relative position between the feeding clamping component 9314 and the busbar, so that the feeding adsorption component 9313 can accurately adsorb onto the busbar, and the feeding clamping component 9314 can accurately clamp the wire harness, thereby driving the busbar to move to the tray.

[0056] Furthermore, by clamping the wire harness with the feeding clamp 9314, the shaking of the wire harness during the busbar feeding process can be reduced, preventing the connection between the wire harness and the busbar from becoming loose.

[0057] In some embodiments, such as Figure 15 and Figure 17 As shown, the unloading device 93 also includes a pallet loading assembly 932, which is used to move the pallet to the placement area.

[0058] Understandably, the pallet loading component 932 can automatically move the pallet to the placement area, thus achieving automatic pallet replenishment.

[0059] Specifically, such as Figure 15 and Figure 17 As shown, the pallet loading assembly 932 includes a first loading drive 9321, a second loading drive 9322, and a loading suction member 9323. The second loading drive 9322 is connected to the first loading drive 9321, and the loading suction member 9323 is connected to the second loading drive 9322. The first loading drive 9321 is used to drive the second loading drive 9322 to move horizontally relative to the placement area, and the second loading drive 9322 is used to drive the loading suction member 9323 to move vertically relative to the placement area. The loading suction member 9323 is used to suction the pallet.

[0060] Understandably, the first feeding drive component 9321 can drive the second feeding drive component 9322 to move horizontally, causing the feeding adsorption component 9323 to move horizontally as well. The second feeding drive component 9322 can drive the feeding adsorption component 9323 to move vertically. Thus, through the cooperation of the first feeding drive component 9321 and the second feeding drive component 9322, the feeding adsorption component 9323 can move in both the horizontal and vertical directions. This allows for precise adjustment of the relative position between the feeding adsorption component 9323 and the placement area, enabling the feeding adsorption component 9323 to accurately adsorb the tray and move it to the placement area.

[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 As shown, the manifold dispensing equipment includes:

[0062] A rotating moving device 61 is used to drive the busbar to move along a first direction;

[0063] The dispensing device 62 is located on one side of the rotating moving device 61 and is used to dispense adhesive onto the busbar.

[0064] The busbar curing device 63 is located on one side of the rotating moving device 61. The dispensing device 62 and the busbar curing device 63 are arranged sequentially along the first direction. The busbar curing device 63 is used to cure the busbar after dispensing.

[0065] According to the bus dispensing equipment of this application embodiment, the rotating moving device 61 can drive the bus to move along a first direction, so that the bus can move sequentially to the dispensing device 62 and the bus curing device 63. When the bus moves to the dispensing device 62, the dispensing device 62 can dispense glue onto the bus to realize automated dispensing. When the bus moves to the bus curing device 63, the bus curing device 63 can perform a curing operation on the dispensed bus, thereby effectively improving the automation level of bus processing.

[0066] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the dispensing device 62 includes a dispensing mounting base 621, a dispensing drive assembly 622, and a dispensing needle 623. The dispensing mounting base 621 is located on one side of the rotary moving device 61. The dispensing drive assembly 622 is mounted on the dispensing mounting base 621. The dispensing needle 623 is connected to the dispensing drive assembly 622. The dispensing drive assembly 622 is used to drive the dispensing needle 623 to move relative to the rotary moving device 61 to perform dispensing operation on the busbar.

[0067] Understandably, the dispensing mounting base 621 can support the dispensing drive assembly 622, and the dispensing drive can drive the dispensing needle 623 to move relative to the rotary moving device 61, so that the dispensing needle 623 can move to the busbar at the rotary moving device 61, and then dispensing the dispensing needle 623 onto the busbar to achieve automated dispensing.

[0068] Specifically, such as Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the dispensing drive assembly 622 includes a first dispensing drive 6221 and a second dispensing drive 6222. The first dispensing drive 6221 is mounted on the dispensing mounting base 621, and the second dispensing drive 6222 is connected to the first dispensing drive 6221. The dispensing needle 623 is connected to the second dispensing drive 6222. The first dispensing drive 6221 is used to drive the second dispensing drive 6222 to move along a first direction, and the second dispensing drive 6222 is used to drive the dispensing needle 623 to move along a second direction. The first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0069] Understandably, the first dispensing drive 6221 can drive the second dispensing drive 6222 to move along the first direction, and the dispensing needle 623 is connected to the second dispensing drive 6222, so that the dispensing needle 623 will also move in the first direction. The second dispensing drive 6222 can drive the dispensing needle 623 to move along the second direction, thereby controlling the movement of the dispensing needle 623 in the first and second directions to precisely adjust the relative position between the dispensing needle 623 and the busbar, so that the dispensing needle 623 can accurately dispense glue onto the busbar.

[0070] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 As shown, the busbar dispensing equipment also includes a glue surface detection device 64, which is located on one side of the rotating moving device 61. The dispensing device 62, the busbar curing device 63, and the glue surface detection device 64 are arranged sequentially along the first direction. The glue surface detection device 64 is used to detect the dispensing effect on the busbar.

[0071] Understandably, the adhesive surface detection device 64 can automatically detect the dispensing effect of the busbar. Meanwhile, the dispensing device 62, the busbar curing device 63, and the adhesive surface detection device 64 are arranged sequentially along the first direction. The rotating moving device 61 allows the busbar to be moved sequentially to the dispensing device 62, the busbar curing device 63, and the adhesive surface detection device 64, thus enabling sequential dispensing, curing, and adhesive surface effect detection operations on the busbar.

[0072] Specifically, such as Figure 11 and Figure 13As shown, the adhesive surface detection device 64 includes an adhesive surface detection seat 641 and an adhesive surface detection camera 642. The adhesive surface detection seat 641 is located on one side of the rotating moving device 61, and the adhesive surface detection camera 642 is connected to the adhesive surface detection seat 641. The adhesive surface detection camera 642 is located above the rotating moving device 61 and is used to photograph the busbar to detect the dispensing effect of the busbar.

[0073] Understandably, the rotating moving device 61 first moves the busbar to the dispensing device 62, which then dispenses adhesive onto the busbar. The rotating moving device 61 then moves the dispensed busbar to the busbar curing device 63, where the adhesive is cured. Finally, the rotating moving device 61 moves the busbar below the adhesive surface detection camera 642, which then captures and detects the dispensing effect on the busbar, thus achieving automated detection of the dispensing effect.

[0074] It should be noted that judging the dispensing effect based on captured images is a mature existing technology. The improvement of this application mainly lies in the application of camera detection, rather than algorithms such as how to determine the dispensing effect from images.

[0075] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 As shown, the busbar dispensing equipment also includes a glue surface height detection device 65. The glue surface height detection device 65 is located on one side of the rotating moving device 61. The dispensing device 62, the busbar curing device 63 and the glue surface height detection device 65 are arranged sequentially along the first direction. The glue surface height detection device 65 is used to detect the dispensing height at the busbar.

[0076] Understandably, the adhesive height detection device 65 can automatically detect the dispensing height of the busbar. Simultaneously, the dispensing device 62, the busbar curing device 63, and the adhesive height detection device 65 are sequentially arranged along the first direction. The rotating moving device 61 allows the busbar to be moved sequentially to the dispensing device 62, the busbar curing device 63, and the adhesive height detection device 65, thereby enabling sequential dispensing, curing, and adhesive height detection operations on the busbar.

[0077] Specifically, such as Figure 11 and Figure 13As shown, the adhesive surface height detection device 65 includes a height detection seat 651, a height detection drive 652, a detection probe 653, and a displacement sensor. The height detection seat 651 is located on one side of the rotating moving device 61. The height detection drive 652 is mounted on the height detection seat 651. The detection probe 653 is connected to the height detection drive 652 and is located above the rotating moving device 61. The displacement sensor is connected to the detection probe 653. The height detection drive 652 is used to drive the detection probe 653 to move towards the adhesive surface at the busbar. The displacement sensor is used to detect the displacement distance of the detection probe 653.

[0078] Understandably, when the dispensing busbar moves to the adhesive surface height detection device 65 after dispensing, the height detection drive 652 drives the detection probe 653 to move towards the busbar at the rotary moving device 61, causing the detection probe 653 to contact the adhesive surface at the busbar. The displacement sensor can detect the displacement distance of the detection probe 653. After the detection probe 653 contacts the adhesive surface at the busbar, the displacement distance of the detection probe 653 can be determined based on the detection data of the displacement sensor, thereby determining the dispensing height at the busbar and realizing automated detection of the dispensing height at the busbar.

[0079] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 and Figure 14 As shown, the busbar curing device 63 is located on one side of the rotary moving device 61. The rotary moving device 61 is used to drive multiple dispensed busbars to move sequentially to the busbar curing device 63. The busbar curing device 63 includes:

[0080] The mounting base 631 is fixed on one side of the rotating moving device 61;

[0081] Curing drive assembly 632 is mounted on curing mount 631;

[0082] The curing assembly 633 includes a curing connection plate 6331 and at least two curing lamps 6332. The curing connection plate 6331 is connected to the curing drive assembly 632. The curing drive assembly 632 is used to drive the curing connection plate 6331 to move relative to the rotary moving device 61 so that the curing lamps 6332 can cure the busbars after dispensing. The at least two curing lamps 6332 are spaced apart on the curing connection plate 6331, and the distance between two adjacent curing lamps 6332 is the same as the distance between two adjacent busbars at the rotary moving device 61.

[0083] According to the busbar curing apparatus 63 of this application embodiment, the curing drive component 632 can drive the curing connecting plate 6331 to move relative to the rotating moving device 61. The curing lamp 6332 connected to the curing connecting plate 6331 will move along with it, thereby moving the curing lamp 6332 above the busbar at the rotating moving device 61, so that the busbar can be cured by the curing lamp 6332. After the curing operation is completed, the curing drive component 632 can drive the curing connecting plate 6331 and the curing lamp 6332 away from the rotating moving device 61, thereby realizing the automatic extension and retraction of the curing lamp 6332, improving the automation level of busbar processing, and helping to improve processing efficiency. Moreover, at least two curing lamps 6332 are connected to the curing connecting plate 6331. Since the distance between two adjacent curing lamps 6332 is the same as the distance between two adjacent busbars, each curing lamp 6332 can perform a curing operation on one busbar, realizing the simultaneous curing operation on at least two busbars, effectively improving processing efficiency.

[0084] In some embodiments, the rotary moving device 61 is used to drive the busbar after dispensing to move along the first direction, and the curing driving component 632 is used to drive the curing connecting plate 6331 to move along the second direction, wherein the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0085] Understandably, the rotating moving device 61 drives the busbar to move along the first direction, so that the busbar can pass through different processing stations in sequence. When the busbar moves to the curing component 633, the curing drive component 632 drives the curing connecting plate 6331 and the curing lamp 6332 at the curing connecting plate 6331 to move together along the second direction, so that the curing lamp 6332 moves towards the rotating moving device 61, so that the curing lamp 6332 can move above the busbar to perform the curing operation on the busbar.

[0086] It is understandable that if the first and second directions are perpendicular to each other, the distance that the curing lamp 6332 needs to move to the top of the busbar can be effectively shortened.

[0087] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 and Figure 14 As shown, the curing component 633 also includes a first cooling fan 6333, which is connected to the curing lamp 6332.

[0088] Understandably, the first cooling fan 6333 can drive the airflow at the curing lamp 6332, accelerate the heat dissipation speed at the curing lamp 6332, and ensure that the curing lamp 6332 can work normally.

[0089] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 and Figure 14As shown, the curing assembly 633 also includes a second cooling fan 6334, which is connected to the curing lamp 6332. The first cooling fan 6333 and the second cooling fan 6334 are located on different sides of the curing lamp 6332.

[0090] It is understandable that a first cooling fan 6333 and a second cooling fan 6334 are respectively provided on different sides of the curing lamp 6332. That is, the first cooling fan 6333 and the second cooling fan 6334 can drive the air flow on different sides of the curing lamp 6332. The first cooling fan 6333 and the second cooling fan 6334 can accelerate the heat dissipation speed on different sides of the curing lamp 6332, prevent the curing lamp 6332 from overheating, and ensure that the curing lamp 6332 can work normally.

[0091] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 and Figure 14 As shown, the curing mounting base 631 has a curing guide rail 6311, the curing component 633 is slidably engaged with the curing guide rail 6311, and the curing drive component 632 includes a curing drive element, which is connected to the curing component 633. The curing drive element is used to drive the curing component 633 to move along the curing guide rail 6311.

[0092] Understandably, the curing guide rail 6311 can guide the curing component 633. By driving the curing drive component to move the curing component 633, the curing component 633 can move along the curing guide rail 6311, thereby moving the curing component 633 relative to the rotary moving device 61.

[0093] In some examples, the curing guide 6311 extends along a second direction so that the curing component 633 can move along the curing guide 6311 in the second direction.

[0094] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 and Figure 14 As shown, the busbar curing device 63 also includes a buffer 634 connected to the curing assembly 633, with at least a portion of the buffer 634 protruding from the curing assembly 633 so that at least a portion of the buffer 634 is located between the curing assembly 633 and the rotating moving device 61.

[0095] It is understood that placing at least part of the buffer 634 between the curing component 633 and the rotating moving device 61 can prevent direct impact between the curing component 633 and the rotating moving device 61, which would cause damage to the curing component 633 and the rotating moving device 61.

[0096] It is understandable that when the curing drive assembly 632 drives the curing assembly 633 to move too far toward the rotary moving device 61, the buffer 634 will first contact the rotary moving device 61 to avoid direct contact between the curing assembly 633 and the rotary moving device 61.

[0097] In some examples, the buffer 634 is, for example, a rubber component or a spring or any other suitable structural component with a cushioning function.

[0098] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the busbar welding machine also includes a support device, which includes:

[0099] The stage 54 has a support groove for accommodating the busbar 1 with the wire harness welded on it.

[0100] The wire harness fixing assembly 55 is connected to the platform 54. The wire harness fixing assembly 55 can switch between a clamping state and a releasing state. In the clamping state, the wire harness fixing assembly 55 clamps the wire harness. In the releasing state, the wire harness fixing assembly 55 releases the wire harness so that the wire harness 2 can move relative to the wire harness fixing assembly 55.

[0101] According to the carrier device of this application, the carrier groove of the platform 54 can be used to accommodate the busbar, and the carrier groove can limit the busbar, improving the installation stability of the busbar at the platform 54. After the busbar with the welded wire harness is placed on the platform 54, the wire harness fixing component 55 is in a clamped state to clamp the wire harness, keeping the end of the wire harness welded to the busbar fixed, preventing the connection between the wire harness and the busbar from loosening due to shaking at the welded end during the movement of the busbar, thus ensuring the connection stability between the wire harness and the busbar. When it is necessary to remove the busbar from the platform 54, the wire harness fixing component 55 can be released, allowing the wire harness to move relative to the wire harness fixing component 55.

[0102] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the bearing device also includes a first adjusting block 56, which can be connected to different positions of the platform 54. When the first adjusting block 56 is connected to different positions of the platform 54, the length of the first adjusting block 56 in the bearing groove is different.

[0103] It is understandable that by changing the connection position of the first adjusting block 56, the length of the first adjusting block 56 in the bearing groove can be changed, and the size of the busbar that the bearing groove can accommodate will also be different depending on the length of the first adjusting block 56 in the bearing groove.

[0104] In other words, the connection position of the first adjusting block 56 can be adjusted according to the actual size of the busbar, thereby adjusting the length of the first adjusting block 56 protruding into the bearing groove, so that the space formed by the first adjusting block 56 and the groove wall of the bearing groove matches the busbar, so that the platform 54 can be used to support busbars of different sizes.

[0105] In some examples, the stage 54 has multiple screw holes, and the first adjusting block 56 can mate with different screw holes. When the first adjusting block 56 mates with different screw holes, the first adjusting block 56 is connected to different positions on the stage 54, so that the length of the first adjusting block 56 in the bearing groove will also be different.

[0106] Specifically, the first adjusting block 56 is arranged opposite to the wire harness fixing component 55. When the first adjusting block 56 is connected to different positions on the platform 54, the distance between the first adjusting block 56 and the wire harness fixing component 55 is different.

[0107] It is understandable that the distance between the first adjusting block 56 and the wire harness fixing assembly 55 is different, that is, the distance between the wall of the bearing groove opposite to the first adjusting block 56 and the first adjusting block 56 is different. Consequently, the size of the busbar that the bearing groove can accommodate will also be different, so that the platform 54 can be used to support busbars of different sizes.

[0108] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the bearing device also includes a second adjusting block 57. The wall of the bearing groove forms an installation opening. The second adjusting block 57 is located at the installation opening. The second adjusting block 57 can be connected to different positions of the platform 54. When the second adjusting block 57 is connected to different positions of the platform 54, the length of the second adjusting block 57 in the bearing groove is different.

[0109] It is understandable that by changing the connection position of the second adjusting block 57, the length of the second adjusting block 57 in the bearing groove can be changed, and the size of the busbar that the bearing groove can accommodate will also be different depending on the length of the second adjusting block 57 in the bearing groove.

[0110] In other words, the connection position of the second adjusting block 57 can be adjusted according to the actual size of the busbar, thereby adjusting the length of the second adjusting block 57 protruding into the bearing groove, so that the space formed by the second adjusting block 57 and the groove wall of the bearing groove matches the busbar, so that the platform 54 can be used to support busbars of different sizes.

[0111] In some examples, the stage 54 has multiple screw holes, and the second adjusting block 57 can mate with different screw holes. When the second adjusting block 57 mates with different screw holes, the second adjusting block 57 is connected to different positions on the stage 54, so that the length of the second adjusting block 57 in the bearing groove will also be different.

[0112] Specifically, the second adjusting block 57 is located between the first adjusting block 56 and the wire harness fixing assembly 55.

[0113] It is understood that the first adjusting block 56 and the wire harness fixing assembly 55 are arranged opposite each other, and the second adjusting block 57 is located between the first adjusting block 56 and the wire harness fixing assembly 55. That is, the first adjusting block 56 is arranged opposite to the first wall of the bearing groove, and the second adjusting block 57 is arranged opposite to the second wall of the bearing groove, with the first and second walls adjacent to each other. Therefore, by cooperating with the first adjusting block 56 and the second adjusting block 57, the length and width of the busbar that the bearing groove can accommodate can be adjusted.

[0114] In some embodiments, the wall of the carrier groove is formed with a guide slope, which can guide the manifold to be placed in the carrier groove. That is, the setting of the guide slope can guide the manifold, so that the manifold can be quickly placed in the carrier groove.

[0115] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the wire harness fixing assembly 55 includes a wire harness fixing drive and two wire harness fixing parts 551. The wire harness fixing parts 551 are connected to the wire harness fixing drive. The wire harness fixing drive is used to drive the two wire harness fixing parts 551 to move closer or further apart from each other, so that the two wire harness fixing parts 551 clamp the wire harness or release the wire harness.

[0116] Understandably, when it is necessary to secure the wire harness, the wire harness securing drive moves the two wire harness securing parts 551 closer together, so that the two wire harness securing parts 551 clamp the wire harness. When it is necessary to release the wire harness, the wire harness securing drive moves the two wire harness securing parts 551 further apart, so that the wire harness can move relative to the two wire harness securing parts 551.

[0117] Specifically, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the wire harness fixing assembly 55 also includes a push plate 552, which is used to connect with the wire harness fixing drive member. The two wire harness fixing parts 551 are arranged opposite to each other. In the released state, the wire harness fixing drive member drives the push plate 552 to move between the two wire harness fixing parts 551 and makes the two wire harness fixing parts 551 move away from each other. In the clamping state, the wire harness fixing drive member disengages from the push plate 552 and the two wire harness fixing parts 551 move closer to each other.

[0118] Understandably, the push plate 552 is moved between the two wire harness fixing parts 551 by the wire harness fixing drive, so that the push plate 552 is located between the two wire harness fixing parts 551, thereby causing the two wire harness fixing parts 551 to move away from each other. At this time, the two wire harness fixing parts 551 cannot clamp the wire harness, and the wire harness fixing assembly 55 is in the state of releasing the wire harness. This causes the wire harness fixing drive to disengage from the push plate 552. At this time, the push plate 552 is no longer subjected to the pushing force applied by the wire harness fixing drive, and the two wire harness fixing parts 551 are no longer subjected to the squeezing force of the push plate 552. Therefore, the two wire harness fixing parts 551 will move closer to each other and clamp the wire harness.

[0119] It should be noted that the two wire harness fixing parts 551 can be connected by an elastic element. The elastic element applies an elastic force to the wire harness fixing parts 551, causing the two wire harness fixing parts 551 to move closer together. Therefore, when the wire harness fixing drive member disengages from the push plate 552, the push plate 552 is no longer subjected to the force applied by the wire harness fixing drive member. That is, at this time, there is no external force to counteract the elastic force of the elastic element. Under the action of the elastic element, the two wire harness fixing parts 551 will move closer together, and the push plate 552 located between the two wire harness fixing parts 551 will be pushed away from the two wire harness fixing parts 551, thereby achieving the reset of the push plate 552.

[0120] In some examples, the push plate 552 can also be moved directly away from the middle of the two wire harness fixing parts 551 by the wire harness fixing drive.

[0121] In some embodiments, the platform 54 is formed with a fixing part receiving groove, and the wire harness fixing part 551 is disposed in the fixing part receiving groove.

[0122] Understandably, the fixing part receiving groove can limit the position of the wire harness fixing part 551.

[0123] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the busbar welding device includes:

[0124] Busbar welding assembly 43 is used to weld the busbar and the wire harness together;

[0125] Busbar moving assembly 44 is disposed adjacent to busbar welding assembly 43;

[0126] The first welding inspection piece 51 is disposed adjacent to the bus welding assembly 43. The first welding inspection piece 51 is used to inspect the weld points of the bus. The bus moving assembly 44 is used to move the bus from the bus welding assembly 43 to the first welding inspection piece 51.

[0127] According to the bus welding apparatus of this application embodiment, the bus and wire harness are welded together by the bus welding assembly 43, realizing automatic welding of the bus and wire harness. Then, the bus with the welded wire harness is moved to the first welding inspection piece 51 by the bus moving assembly 44, and the first welding inspection piece 51 is used to inspect the weld joints of the bus. In other words, this application realizes automatic welding of the bus and wire harness by the bus welding assembly 43, and automatically moves the bus with the welded wire harness to the first welding inspection piece 51 by the bus moving assembly 44. The first welding inspection piece 51 then automatically inspects the weld joints of the bus, improving the automation level of bus and wire harness welding and helping to improve production efficiency.

[0128] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the busbar welding device also includes a second welding inspection element 52, which is spaced apart from the first welding inspection element 51. The second welding inspection element 52 is used to inspect the welding surface of the busbar.

[0129] It is understandable that the weld surface of the busbar can be inspected through the second welding inspection piece 52. In other words, through the cooperation of the first welding inspection piece 51 and the second welding inspection piece 52, the weld points and weld surfaces of the busbar can be inspected, thus achieving double-sided inspection of the busbar.

[0130] In some examples, the solder joints of the bus are located on the lower surface of the bus, and the solder surface of the bus is located on the upper surface of the bus. Therefore, the first welding inspection piece 51 can be placed below the bus and the second welding inspection piece 52 can be placed above the bus.

[0131] In some embodiments, the first welding inspection element 51 and the second welding inspection element 52 are arranged opposite to each other, and the bus moving assembly 44 is used to move the bus between the first welding inspection element 51 and the second welding inspection element 52 so that the first welding inspection element 51 and the second welding inspection element 52 can simultaneously inspect the bus.

[0132] Understandably, the first welding inspection piece 51 and the second welding inspection piece 52 are arranged opposite each other with a gap between them. Then, the busbar with the welded wire harness is moved between the first welding inspection piece 51 and the second welding inspection piece 52 by the busbar moving assembly 44. This allows the first welding inspection piece 51 to inspect the weld points on one side of the busbar, and the second welding inspection piece 52 to inspect the weld surface on the other side of the busbar, thus achieving simultaneous inspection of both the weld points and the weld surface of the busbar and improving inspection efficiency.

[0133] In some examples, the bus welding assembly 43 is, for example, an ultrasonic welded component.

[0134] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the busbar welding device includes a busbar feeding assembly 41, a busbar placement seat 42, a busbar welding assembly 43, and a busbar moving assembly 44;

[0135] The busbar placement seat 42 is located between the busbar feeding component 41 and the busbar moving component 44. The busbar feeding component 41 is used to feed the busbar to the busbar placement seat 42.

[0136] The bus welding assembly 43 and the bus moving assembly 44 are arranged adjacent to each other. The bus moving assembly 44 is used to move the bus at the bus placement seat 42 to the bus welding assembly 43.

[0137] Busbar welding assembly 43 is used to weld busbars and wire harnesses together.

[0138] According to the bus welding apparatus of this application embodiment, the bus loading component 41 can move and load the bus to the bus placement seat 42, which can support the bus. Then, the bus moving component 44 moves the bus from the bus placement seat 42 to the bus welding component 43, so that the bus welding component 43 can weld the bus and the wire harness together, realizing automated welding of the bus and the wire harness. In other words, this application can realize automatic bus loading, automatically move the bus to the bus welding component 43, and automatically weld the bus and the wire harness together, improving the automation level of welding of the wire harness and the bus, which is beneficial to improving production efficiency.

[0139] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the busbar feeding assembly 41 includes a busbar feeding rack 411, a busbar feeding drive 412, and a busbar feeding adsorption component 413. The busbar feeding drive 412 is installed on the busbar feeding rack 411, and the busbar feeding adsorption component 413 is connected to the busbar feeding drive 412. The busbar feeding adsorption component 413 is used to adsorb the busbar, and the busbar feeding drive 412 is used to drive the busbar feeding adsorption component 413 to move to the busbar placement seat 42.

[0140] Understandably, the busbar loading rack 411 can support the busbar loading drive 412. The busbar loading drive 412 can drive the busbar loading adsorption component 413 to move, so that the busbar loading adsorption component 413 with the busbar adsorbed can move to the busbar placement seat 42. Then, the busbar loading adsorption component 413 releases the busbar, thus moving the busbar to the busbar placement seat 42, realizing the automatic movement of the busbar.

[0141] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the busbar feeding assembly 41 also includes a busbar turntable 414, which has multiple busbar receiving cavities for accommodating the busbars. The busbar turntable 414 can drive the multiple busbar receiving cavities to move and rotate to below the busbar feeding adsorption component 413.

[0142] Understandably, a certain number of manifolds are placed in each manifold receiving cavity of the manifold turntable 414. The manifold turntable 414 can drive multiple manifold receiving cavities to rotate sequentially to the bottom of the manifold feeding adsorption component 413, so that the manifold feeding adsorption component 413 can adsorb the manifolds. Then, the manifold feeding drive component 412 moves the manifold feeding adsorption component 413 and the manifolds to the manifold placement seat 42, thereby realizing the automatic feeding of the manifolds.

[0143] It should be noted that the manifold turntable 414 can rotate only after the manifolds in one of the manifold receiving chambers have been consumed, so that the next manifold receiving chamber moves below the manifold feeding adsorption member 413. Alternatively, the manifold turntable 414 can rotate only after the manifold feeding adsorption member 413 has adsorbed one manifold from one of the manifold receiving chambers, so that the next manifold receiving chamber moves below the manifold feeding adsorption member 413.

[0144] In some examples, the busbar loading drive 412 includes a lateral drive and a vertical drive. The lateral drive is used to drive the vertical drive to move laterally, and the vertical drive is used to drive the busbar loading adsorption component 413 to move vertically.

[0145] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the busbar feeding suction component 413 includes a lifting drive component 4131 and a busbar feeding suction cup 4132. The lifting drive component 4131 is connected to the busbar feeding drive component 412, and the busbar feeding suction cup 4132 is connected to the lifting drive component 4131. The lifting drive component 4131 is used to drive the busbar feeding suction cup 4132 to move up and down relative to the busbar turntable 414.

[0146] Understandably, the busbar loading drive 412 can drive the lifting drive 4131 to move between the busbar turntable 414 and the busbar placement seat 42, and the busbar loading suction cup 4132 will move together between the busbar turntable 414 and the busbar placement seat 42. When the manifold loading suction cup 4132 moves above the manifold receiving cavity, the lifting drive component 4131 drives the manifold loading suction cup 4132 to move downward, so that the manifold loading suction cup 4132 can be adsorbed onto the manifold. Then, the lifting drive component 4131 drives the manifold loading suction cup 4132 to move upward, and the manifold loading drive component 412 drives the lifting drive component 4131 and the manifold loading suction cup 4132 to move towards the manifold placement seat 42. When the manifold loading suction cup 4132 moves to the manifold placement seat 42, the lifting drive component 4131 drives the manifold loading suction cup 4132 to move downward, so as to place the manifold at the manifold placement seat 42, thereby realizing the automatic loading of the manifold.

[0147] In some embodiments, the bus placement seat 42 is formed with a bus limiting groove for placing the bus.

[0148] Understandably, the busbar limiting groove can limit the busbar, allowing it to be stably placed on the busbar placement seat 42.

[0149] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bus moving assembly 44 includes a bus moving drive 441 and a bus moving adsorption component 442. The bus moving adsorption component 442 is connected to the bus moving drive 441 and is used to adsorb the bus. The bus moving drive 441 is used to drive the bus moving adsorption component 442 to move between the bus placement seat 42 and the bus welding assembly 43.

[0150] Understandably, the bus moving drive 441 can drive the bus moving adsorption component 442 to move to the bus placement seat 42, so that the bus moving adsorption component 442 can adsorb the bus at the bus placement seat 42. Then, the bus moving drive 441 drives the bus moving adsorption component 442 to move to the bus welding assembly 43, so that the bus welding assembly 43 can weld the wire harness and the bus together.

[0151] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the number of manifold moving adsorption components 442 is at least two. The at least two manifold moving adsorption components 442 include a first adsorption component 4421 and a second adsorption component 4422. The first adsorption component 4421 and the second adsorption component 4422 are both connected to the manifold moving drive component 441. The first adsorption component 4421 and the second adsorption component 4422 are arranged at intervals. The manifold moving drive component 441 is used to drive the first adsorption component 4421 to move between the manifold placement seat 42 and the manifold welding assembly 43. The manifold moving drive component 441 is also used to drive the second adsorption component 4422 to move between the manifold welding assembly 43 and the next work station.

[0152] Understandably, the bus moving drive 441 can simultaneously move the first suction member 4421 and the second suction member 4422. While the bus moving drive 441 moves the first suction member 4421 to the bus placement seat 42, the second suction member 4422 moves to the bus welding assembly 43. After the first suction member 4421 attaches to the bus at the bus placement seat 42, and the bus welding assembly 43 completes the welding connection between the wire harness and the bus, the bus moving drive 441 moves the first suction member 4421 to the bus welding assembly 43 to move the bus. Simultaneously, the second suction member 4422 moves the bus with the welded wire harness to the next station, achieving simultaneous movement of both unwelded and welded busbars, thus improving efficiency.

[0153] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the busbar moving assembly 44 also includes a busbar moving connecting frame 443, which is connected to the busbar moving drive component 441. The first adsorption component 4421 and the second adsorption component 4422 are both connected to the busbar moving connecting frame 443, so that the busbar moving drive component 441 can simultaneously drive the first adsorption component 4421 and the second adsorption component 4422 to move.

[0154] It should be noted that the distance between the first adsorption element 4421 and the second adsorption element 4422, the distance between the busbar placement seat 42 and the busbar welding assembly 43, and the distance between the busbar welding assembly 43 and the next work station are all the same.

[0155] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the manifold moving suction component 442 includes a telescopic drive component 4423 and a manifold moving suction cup 4424. The telescopic drive component 4423 is connected to the manifold moving drive component 441, and the manifold moving suction cup 4424 is connected to the telescopic drive component 4423. The manifold moving drive component 441 is used to drive the telescopic drive component 4423 to move along a first direction, and the telescopic drive component 4423 is used to drive the manifold moving suction cup 4424 to move along a second direction. The first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0156] Understandably, through the cooperation of the busbar moving drive 441 and the telescopic drive 4423, the position of the busbar moving suction cup 4424 can be adjusted in the first and second directions, so that the busbar moving suction cup 4424 can be accurately moved to the busbar placement seat 42 or the busbar welding assembly 43.

[0157] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the busbar welding device also includes:

[0158] Ultrasonic welding base 45, used to support the busbar;

[0159] The wire harness clamping assembly 46 is connected to the ultrasonic welding base 45 and is used to clamp the wire harness.

[0160] The busbar welding assembly 43 is located above the ultrasonic welding base 45.

[0161] According to the bus welding apparatus of this application embodiment, the busbar is placed on the ultrasonic welding base 45, and then the wire harness is moved to the busbar and clamped by the wire harness clamping assembly 46 to keep the wire harness stable. Then, the busbar welding assembly 43 welds the busbar and the wire harness together, thereby realizing the automated welding connection between the busbar and the wire harness. In other words, this application uses the wire harness clamping assembly 46 to keep the wire harness stable, which can prevent the wire harness from shaking or shifting during welding, thus ensuring the welding effect between the busbar and the wire harness.

[0162] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the wire harness clamping assembly 46 includes a wire harness clamping drive 461 and two wire harness clamping parts 462. The wire harness clamping drive 461 is connected to the ultrasonic welding base 45, and the two wire harness clamping parts 462 are connected to the wire harness clamping drive 461. The wire harness clamping drive 461 is used to drive the two wire harness clamping parts 462 to move closer or further away from each other in order to clamp or release the wire harness.

[0163] Understandably, the wire harness clamping drive 461 drives the two wire harness clamping parts 462 to move away from each other, facilitating the movement of the wire harness between the two clamping parts 462 so that the end of the wire harness abuts against the busbar. Then, the wire harness clamping drive 461 drives the two clamping parts 462 to move closer together, clamping the wire harness and securing it. This effectively prevents the end of the wire harness from shaking or moving during welding, ensuring a good welding result between the wire harness and the busbar. After welding the wire harness to the busbar is complete, the wire harness clamping drive 461 drives the two clamping parts 462 to move away from each other, releasing the wire harness and allowing the busbar with the welded wire harness to move to the next station.

[0164] Specifically, the first end of the wire harness clamping part 462 is connected to the wire harness clamping drive member 461, and the second end of the wire harness clamping part 462 protrudes from the ultrasonic welding base 45.

[0165] It is understandable that the second end of the wire harness clamping part 462 is used to clamp the wire harness. If the second end of the wire harness clamping part 462 is lower than the ultrasonic welding base 45, the wire harness clamping part 462 will pull the wire harness downwards when clamping it, causing the end of the wire harness to curl up, which in turn prevents the end of the wire harness from maintaining contact with the busbar. Therefore, in this embodiment, the second end of the wire harness clamping part 462 is set to protrude from the ultrasonic welding base 45, so that the wire harness clamping part 462 will not affect the contact between the wire harness and the busbar while clamping the wire harness, thus avoiding any impact on the welding quality of the wire harness and the busbar.

[0166] In some embodiments, the ultrasonic welding base 45 is formed with a welding mounting groove for accommodating a busbar.

[0167] Understandably, the welding mounting groove can limit the movement of the busbar, ensuring the stability of the busbar at 45° on the ultrasonic welding base.

[0168] In some embodiments, the ultrasonic welding base 45 is formed with a wire harness communication structure, which is connected to the welding mounting groove so that the wire harness can be inserted into the welding mounting groove through the wire harness communication structure.

[0169] It is understandable that by forming a wire harness connecting structure at the ultrasonic welding base 45, the end of the wire harness can be inserted through the wire harness connecting structure and located in the welding mounting groove, so that the end of the wire harness can abut against the busbar in the welding mounting groove.

[0170] In some examples, the wiring harness connection structure is, for example, a hole or notch or any other suitable connection structure.

[0171] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the busbar welding device is spaced apart from the main body 47.

[0172] It is understandable that the busbar welding device is spaced apart from the main body 47 to prevent the main body 47 from vibrating when the busbar welding device is working, thus avoiding affecting other workstations on the main body 47.

[0173] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the busbar welding machine also includes a mounting column 48. The busbar welding device is connected to the first end of the mounting column 48, and the second end of the mounting column 48 is connected to the ground. The mounting column 48 and the main body 47 are spaced apart.

[0174] It is understandable that the mounting post 48 is directly connected to the ground and spaced apart from the main body 47. Connecting the busbar welding device to the mounting post 48 can separate the busbar welding device from the main body 47 while installing the ultrasonic welding device, so as to prevent the main body 47 from vibrating when the busbar welding device is working.

[0175] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the bus welding device also includes a bus welding base plate 49, a bus welding assembly 43 and an ultrasonic welding base 45 connected to the same side of the bus welding base plate 49, and the bus welding base plate 49 and the main body 47 are spaced apart.

[0176] Understandably, connecting the busbar welding assembly 43 and the ultrasonic welding base 45 simultaneously to the same side of the busbar welding base plate 49 facilitates the welding operation of the busbar by the busbar welding assembly 43 on the busbar at the ultrasonic welding base 45. Meanwhile, the busbar welding base plate 49 is spaced apart from the main body 47, thus preventing vibration of the main body 47 during ultrasonic welding of the busbar.

[0177] Specifically, the side of the busbar welding base plate 49 facing away from the busbar welding assembly 43 is connected to the first end of the mounting post 48.

[0178] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the busbar welding machine also includes a body 47, which has a worktable 471. The worktable 471 has a detection port 472, which is connected to the internal space of the worktable 471. A first welding detection piece 51 is located in the internal space of the worktable 471. The busbar moving component 44 can move the busbar to the detection port 472 so that the first welding detection piece 51 can detect the weld points of the busbar through the detection port 472.

[0179] Understandably, placing the first welding inspection piece 51 within the internal space of the workbench 471, specifically below the busbar moving assembly 44, allows the busbar moving assembly 44 to move the busbar above the first welding inspection piece 51. This facilitates the first welding inspection piece 51's inspection of the weld points on the lower surface of the busbar, while also improving the space utilization of the workbench 471. A detection port 472, communicating with the internal space, is formed at the workbench 471. The busbar moving assembly 44 moves the busbar to the detection port 472, allowing the first welding inspection piece 51 to inspect the weld points of the busbar, thus achieving automated inspection of the busbar weld points.

[0180] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first welding inspection piece 51 includes a first welding bracket 511 and a first welding inspection camera 512. The first welding bracket 511 is fixedly installed in the internal space of the workbench 471, and the first welding inspection camera 512 is connected to the first welding bracket 511. The first welding inspection camera 512 is directly facing the inspection port 472.

[0181] Understandably, the first welding bracket 511 provides support for the welding inspection camera, allowing the first welding inspection camera 512 to be stably installed in the internal space of the workbench 471. Simultaneously, with the first welding inspection camera 512 facing the inspection port 472, when the busbar moving assembly 44 moves the busbar to the inspection port 472, the first welding inspection camera 512 can capture and inspect the weld points of the busbar.

[0182] In some embodiments, the busbar welding machine further includes a rotating moving device, which is disposed adjacent to the first welding inspection piece 51. The busbar moving assembly 44 is used to move the busbar from the first welding inspection piece 51 to the rotating moving device, and the rotating moving device is used to move the busbar to the second welding inspection piece 52.

[0183] Understandably, the bus moving assembly 44 moves the bus to the inspection port 472. The first welding inspection piece 51 completes the inspection of the weld joint of the bus through the inspection port 472. The bus moving assembly 44 then continues to move the bus to the rotating moving device, and then moves the bus to the second welding inspection piece 52 through the rotating moving device, so that the second welding inspection piece 52 can inspect the weld surface of the bus.

[0184] Specifically, such as Figure 6As shown, the second welding inspection component 52 includes a second welding bracket 521 and a second welding inspection camera 522. The second welding bracket 521 is fixedly installed on the workbench 471, and the second welding inspection camera 522 is connected to the second welding bracket 521. The second welding inspection camera 522 is located above the rotating moving device.

[0185] Understandably, the second welding bracket 521 can support the second welding inspection camera 522, so that the second welding inspection camera 522 can be stably positioned above the rotating moving device, thereby facilitating the second welding inspection camera 522 to inspect the weld surface of the busbar without interfering with the rotating moving device.

[0186] It should be noted that detecting weld points and weld surfaces by taking pictures is a mature existing technology. The main improvement of this embodiment lies in the application of the first welding detection camera 512 and the second welding detection camera 522, rather than analyzing and detecting weld points and weld surfaces based on the captured images.

[0187] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the rotary moving device includes:

[0188] Wheel drive assembly 53;

[0189] Multiple platforms 54 are connected to a rotary drive assembly 53. The platforms 54 are used to carry busbars with welded wire harnesses. The rotary drive assembly 53 is used to drive the platforms 54 to rotate, so that the platforms 54 move sequentially to different workstations.

[0190] A wire harness fixing component 55 is provided at each platform 54. The wire harness fixing component 55 is used to fix the wire harness.

[0191] According to the rotary moving device of this application embodiment, a plurality of platforms 54 are connected to the rotary drive component 53. Each platform 54 can be used to carry a busbar, and the rotary drive component 53 can drive the platform 54 to rotate, so that the platform 54 and the busbar on the platform 54 can move sequentially to different workstations to realize the automatic movement of the busbar. Each platform 54 is provided with a wire harness fixing component 55. When the busbar is placed on the platform 54, the wire harness fixing component 55 can fix the wire harness welded to the busbar, so that the end of the wire harness welded to the busbar remains fixed, preventing the end of the wire harness welded to the busbar from shaking during the movement of the busbar, which would cause the connection between the wire harness and the busbar to loosen, thus ensuring the stability of the connection between the wire harness and the busbar.

[0192] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the wheel drive assembly 53 includes a wheel mounting plate 531 and a wheel drive component 532. The wheel mounting plate 531 forms a wheel track 533. The platform 54 is slidably fitted onto the wheel track 533. The wheel drive component 532 is mounted on the wheel mounting plate 531. The platform 54 is connected to the wheel drive component 532. The wheel drive component 532 is used to drive the platform 54 to move along the wheel track 533.

[0193] It is understandable that the platform 54 is slidably engaged with the rotary track 533, meaning that the platform 54 can rotate along the rotary track 533. Furthermore, the rotary drive component 532 drives the platform 54 to move, thus enabling the platform 54 to move along the rotary track 533 and achieve the rotation of the platform 54.

[0194] In some examples, the rotating mounting plate 531 is vertically positioned.

[0195] Specifically, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the rotary drive component 532 includes a rotary motor 5321 and a transmission chain 5322. The platform 54 is connected to the transmission chain 5322, and the rotary motor 5321 is connected to the transmission chain 5322. The rotary motor 5321 is used to drive the transmission chain 5322 to rotate, so that the platform 54 moves along the rotary track 533.

[0196] It is understandable that the rotary motor 5321 drives the transmission chain 5322 to rotate, which in turn drives the platform 54 to move, thereby causing the platform 54 to move along the rotary track 533, thus realizing the rotation of the platform 54.

[0197] It should be noted that the wheel drive component 532 can also be a gear set. The gear set is driven to rotate by a motor, and the gear set is connected to the platform 54, thereby realizing the drive of the platform 54.

[0198] In some examples, the rotary motor 5321 and the transmission chain 5322 are located on both sides of the rotary mounting plate 531, making the structural distribution of the rotary moving device more uniform and facilitating the installation of the components of the rotary moving device.

[0199] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the platform 54 has a first roller 541 and a second roller, which are located on both sides of the rotating track 533, and both the first roller 541 and the second roller are in rolling cooperation with the rotating track 533.

[0200] Understandably, the platform 54 can move relative to the rotating track 533 through the rolling cooperation between the rollers and the rotating track 533. Positioning the first roller 541 and the second roller on opposite sides of the rotating track 533 improves the stability of the connection between the platform 54 and the rotating track 533, preventing the platform 54 from detaching from the rotating track 533.

[0201] Specifically, a first track groove is formed on the first side of the rotating track 533, and a second track groove is formed on the second side of the rotating track 533. The first side and the second side of the rotating track 533 are arranged opposite to each other. The first roller 541 is engaged in the first track groove, and the second roller is engaged in the second track groove.

[0202] Understandably, the first track groove can limit the first roller 541 to prevent it from detaching from the wheel track 533, and the second track groove can limit the second roller to prevent it from detaching from the wheel track 533. This can effectively improve the stability of the cooperation between the platform 54 and the wheel track 533 and prevent the platform 54 from falling off the wheel track 533.

[0203] In some embodiments, the platform 54 is connected to the wheel drive assembly 53 via a wheel drive connecting plate, and the wheel drive connecting plate is detachably connected to the platform 54.

[0204] It is understandable that the platform 54 and the wheel drive assembly 53 are connected by the wheel connecting plate, so that the wheel drive assembly 53 can drive the platform 54 to move, realizing the rotation of the platform 54. The wheel connecting plate is detachably connected to the platform 54, so that the platform 54 can be disassembled separately, which is convenient for replacement, maintenance and other operations of the platform 54.

[0205] Specifically, the first end of the wheel-rotating connecting plate is detachably connected to the platform 54, and the second end of the wheel-rotating connecting plate is connected to the transmission chain 5322.

[0206] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the wire harness fixing assembly 55 includes a wire harness fixing drive and two wire harness fixing parts 551. The wire harness fixing parts 551 are connected to the wire harness fixing drive. The wire harness fixing drive is used to drive the two wire harness fixing parts 551 to move closer or further apart from each other, so that the two wire harness fixing parts 551 clamp the wire harness or release the wire harness.

[0207] It is understandable that by driving the two wire harness fixing parts 551 closer together through the wire harness fixing drive, the two wire harness fixing parts 551 can clamp the wire harness. By driving the two wire harness fixing parts 551 further apart through the wire harness fixing drive, the wire harness can move relative to the two wire harness fixing parts 551, thereby realizing the operation of releasing the wire harness.

[0208] Specifically, the wire harness fixing drive and the wire harness fixing part 551 are located on both sides of the rotating mounting plate.

[0209] Understandably, this makes the structural distribution of the rotating moving device more uniform and facilitates the installation of its components.

[0210] In some embodiments, such as Figure 15 As shown, the busbar welding machine includes:

[0211] Body 47, body 47 is used to drive the busbar to move along the first direction, and the busbar is connected to a wire harness;

[0212] The conveyor belt assembly 71 is located on one side of the main body 47. The conveyor belt assembly 71 is used to carry the wire harness and drive the end of the wire harness away from the busbar to move away from the main body 47.

[0213] According to the busbar welding machine of this application embodiment, the first end of the wire harness is connected to the busbar, and the busbar moves along a first direction at the body 47. At this time, the second end of the wire harness is located on the conveyor belt assembly 71, which can carry the wire harness. Simultaneously, the conveyor assembly can also drive the second end of the wire harness to move away from the body 47, keeping the wire harness straight. In other words, this application straightens the wire harness by using the conveyor belt assembly 71, ensuring the wire harness remains straight during the movement of the busbar, thereby effectively preventing tangling between different wire harnesses.

[0214] In some embodiments, such as Figure 15 As shown, the conveyor belt assembly 71 has a working surface 711, which is used to carry the end of the wire harness away from the busbar. The moving direction of the working surface 711 is a second direction, and the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0215] Understandably, when the busbar moves along the first direction, the working surface 711 of the conveyor belt assembly 71 can drive the end of the wire harness away from the busbar to move in a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the busbar, so that the wire harness remains straight and prevents the wire harness from getting tangled.

[0216] Specifically, along the second direction, the action surface 711 gradually tilts downward in a direction away from the main body 47.

[0217] Understandably, setting the working surface 711 to a downward tilt is beneficial for keeping the wire harness straight.

[0218] In some embodiments, such as Figure 15 As shown, the conveyor belt assembly 71 includes at least two conveyor belts 712, which are arranged side by side along a first direction.

[0219] Understandably, at least two conveyor belts 712 are arranged side by side on one side of the main body 47 so that each conveyor belt 712 can straighten the wire harness, ensuring that there is a continuous conveyor belt 712 to straighten the wire harness during the movement of the busbar, thus preventing the wire harness from getting tangled.

[0220] Specifically, such as Figure 15 As shown, a connecting plate 713 is provided between two adjacent conveyor belts 712. One side of the connecting plate 713 abuts against one of the two adjacent conveyor belts 712, and the other side of the connecting plate 713 abuts against the other of the two adjacent conveyor belts 712.

[0221] Understandably, the connecting plate 713 can act as a transition between two conveyor belts 712, allowing the wire harness to move smoothly from the current conveyor belt 712 to the adjacent conveyor belt 712.

[0222] In some examples, the upper surface of the connecting plate 713 is flush with the working surface 711 of the conveyor belt 712.

[0223] In some examples, the connecting plate 713 is snapped together with at least one of the two adjacent conveyor belts 712 to ensure the stability of the connecting plate 713.

[0224] In some embodiments, such as Figure 15 As shown, the conveyor belt 712 includes a conveyor belt support 7121 and a conveyor belt body 7122. The conveyor belt body 7122 is rotatably mounted on the conveyor belt support 7121. The conveyor belt support 7121 has wheels so that the conveyor belt support 7121 can move relative to the body 47.

[0225] Understandably, the conveyor belt bracket 7121 can support the conveyor belt body 7122, and the conveyor belt body 7122 is rotatably mounted on the conveyor belt bracket 7121, so that the conveyor belt body 7122 can rotate to drive the end of the wire harness away from the busbar to move away from the body 47, so that the wire harness remains straight.

[0226] It is understandable that by setting wheels at the conveyor belt support 7121, the conveyor belt support 7121 can move relative to the body 47, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the relative position between the conveyor belt 712 and the body 47.

[0227] In some embodiments, the body 47 includes a rotating moving device 61 for carrying the busbar and driving the busbar to move along a first direction, wherein the length of the conveyor belt assembly 71 along the first direction is greater than the length of the rotating moving device 61.

[0228] It is understandable that setting the length of the conveyor belt assembly 71 to be greater than the length of the rotating moving device 61 is beneficial to ensure that the conveyor belt assembly 71 can drive the wire harness to move while the rotating moving device 61 drives the busbar to move, so that the wire harness remains straight.

[0229] It should be noted that the rotating moving device 61 is located between the two ends of the conveyor belt assembly 71.

[0230] In some embodiments, the conveyor belt assembly 71 is detachably connected to the body 47, thereby facilitating the replacement of the conveyor belt assembly 71.

[0231] It should be noted that in this application, the driving component may be, for example, a motor, a cylinder, or any other suitable driving structure. Furthermore, since the driving component is an existing part, its specific structure and working principle will not be described in detail here.

[0232] The embodiments of this application have been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this application. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of this application. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
