Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power battery manufacturing, and in particular to an automated stacking equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of power battery manufacturing, thermal batteries, as a special type of battery, play an irreplaceable and crucial role in fields with extremely stringent battery performance requirements, such as military and aerospace, due to their unique performance advantages. The manufacturing process of thermal batteries is complex and delicate, among which the stacking process is one of the core steps in the entire production process, which has a decisive impact on the performance and quality of thermal batteries. Thermal batteries are usually composed of multiple individual battery cells stacked in a specific order. At present, the stacking operation of thermal batteries mainly relies on manual operation, which has problems such as low stacking efficiency, poor stability and consistency, high labor intensity, and harsh working environment.
[0003] Patent CN201911130947.3 discloses an automatic stacking system that stacks electrode sheets using a stacking unit, a rotating device, a sleeve assembly, a six-axis robotic arm, and a lifting device, significantly improving the stacking efficiency of thermal batteries. However, this system is complex, requiring the replacement of sleeve assemblies of corresponding specifications for stacking electrode sheets of different sizes, resulting in poor versatility. The variety of sleeve assemblies also leads to management difficulties and increased costs, making it unsuitable for multi-variety, small-batch production. Furthermore, since heating elements and composite sheets are permeable powder electrode sheets, the stacking and lifting feeding method can easily lead to the accumulation of multiple sheets, causing equipment instability. Patent CN201810525188.X provides an automatic prompting and error correction device and method for thermal battery stacking. Through indicator lights, alarms, and a high-speed digital camera, it provides step prompts and monitors the correctness of the entire stacking operation process, reducing the probability of operator errors and providing alerts when operators make mistakes. Although this device can prevent stacking errors, it still relies on manual stacking, which has the drawbacks of high labor intensity and low efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to design an automatic stacking equipment that can not only achieve accurate and efficient automatic stacking of electrode sheets, but also has high flexibility; when switching products, the equipment can automatically adjust through the mechanism to meet the stacking requirements of electrode sheets of various specifications.

[0048] Based on this, a typical working process of the present invention is as follows:
[0049] S1: As Figure 1 , Figure 13 , Figure 15 - Figure 18 As shown, the heating element feeding component 2 and the composite sheet feeding component 3 have the same structure. Taking the heating element feeding as an example, the mechanism picks up qualified heating elements from the detection equipment and places them side by side on the first conveyor belt 22. After a row is placed, the first conveyor belt 22 moves forward one material position. After the digital camera 255 of the arrival detection component 25 detects that a set number of sheets have arrived, the three-axis cylinder 245 of the handling component 24 extends to drive the second vacuum suction cup 247 to pick up a group of heating elements. The rodless slide cylinder 243 moves to transport the heating elements to the left end of the second conveyor belt 23. The second conveyor belt 23 quickly transports the heating elements to the right end of the feeding area. At this time, the industrial camera 94 takes pictures of the heating elements in the feeding area and gives the center position coordinates to the stacking robot 8, which picks them up by the suction nozzle 82 for stacking. The composite sheet feeding method is the same as the heating element feeding method. The above actions are repeated in sequence to realize the automatic feeding of heating elements and composite sheets.
[0050] S2: As Figure 1 - Figure 13 As shown, the current collector loading component 5 and the substrate loading component 6 have the same structure. Taking the current collector loading component as an example, the current collector loading component 5 includes a set of symmetrically arranged detection components 52 and a material distribution mechanism 53 that work alternately to improve loading efficiency. The operation process is as follows:
[0051] First, stacked collectors are pre-placed in the first centering mechanism 533 of the material distribution mechanism 53. During left-side loading, the rod motor 5321 drives the top plate 5326 to lift the collectors upwards. When the fiber optic sensor 53314 detects the top collector, the air blowing pipe 53313 blows air upwards to create negative pressure, causing the top collector to float upwards. At this time, the dual-axis cylinder 51102 in the left-side suction assembly 5110 of the turnover mechanism 51 extends, and then the guide rail slide cylinder 51103 drives the first vacuum suction cup 51105 downwards. The first sheet is picked up, and then the rod motor 5321 drives the top plate 5326 to move downward. Because the magnet 53312 in the limit rod 5339 exerts an attractive force on the collecting sheet below the picked-up sheet, it prevents the lower collecting sheet from being carried away, thus achieving the sheet separation function. The guide rail slide cylinder 51103 resets, and the horizontal rodless cylinder 513 moves to the right, placing the electrode sheet on the high-transparency glass 522 of the left detection component 52. At this time, the sheet-picking component 5110 on the right side of the turnover mechanism 51 is located above the right-side material distribution mechanism 53, repeating the process. The material handling process is completed when the right-side suction assembly 5110 picks up the material. When the suction assembly 5110 on the left side of the turnover mechanism 51 picks up the material from the left-side distribution mechanism 53, the contact displacement sensor 518 is located above the left-side detection assembly 52. The first slide cylinder 516 drives the contact displacement sensor 518 to move downward to contact the current collector on the high-transparency glass 522 of the left-side detection assembly 52. Based on the displacement data, it is determined whether there is a duplicate sheet. If there is a duplicate sheet, it is picked up by the first vacuum suction cup 51105 of the suction assembly 5110 in the middle of the turnover mechanism 51. The dual-axis cylinder 51102 retracts to discard the wafer; if it is a single wafer, the CCD camera 524 of the detection component 52 will capture the center position coordinates of the current collector and send them to the stacking robot 8, which will pick it up by the suction nozzle 82 for stacking. When the wafer suction component 5110 on the right side of the turnover mechanism 51 picks up the wafer from the right side of the distribution mechanism 53, the above detection and processing process is repeated; the substrate and current collector are fed in the same way, the difference being that the substrate is not magnetic and does not need to be fitted with magnets 53312, but the substrate itself is not sticky and is relatively easy to distribute.
[0052] S3: As Figure 1 , Figure 13 , Figure 14As shown, the suction nozzle 82 of the stacking robot 8, driven by the parallel robot 81, picks up the wafers in the feeding positions of the heating element feeding component 2, the composite element feeding component 3, the current collector feeding component 5, and the substrate feeding component 6 in a set order, and then places them in the second centering mechanism 733 of the receiving component 7. The first receiving component 72 and the second receiving component 73 have the same structure. When all the second centering mechanisms 733 in the second receiving component 73 are filled, the lead screw module 731 transports all the second centering mechanisms 733 in the second receiving component to the protective cover 74 position, where the operator removes the stacked battery stack for subsequent operations. Then the empty second centering mechanism 733 returns to the working position, and the first receiving component 72 and the second receiving component 73 work alternately.
[0053] When switching between products of different sizes, heating elements and composite sheets are fed by visual positioning without changing tooling fixtures. The current collector and substrate are fed according to the pre-set formula, and their centering fixtures can automatically adjust the hopper to adapt to size changes. At the same time, the centering mechanism of the receiving component 7 can also automatically adjust the hopper size. By repeating steps S1-S3, automatic stacking of various specifications of thermal battery electrodes can be achieved.

Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of the present invention's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
