Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an automated processing equipment, and more specifically, to a bonding equipment for battery box covers of new energy vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] In response to urban license plate restriction policies, Chinese car buyers are increasingly inclined to purchase pure electric vehicles. As the power source of new energy vehicles, the power battery is the most important system in the whole vehicle, accounting for 30% to 40% of the total vehicle cost. The power battery consists of a cover, a base, and a series of accessories.

[0003] Currently, the assembly and bonding of box lid accessories in the market involves multiple machines and multiple people assembling separately. The connection between each process is poor, the product qualification rate and production efficiency are low, the production information of multiple links is unclear, the error traceability is difficult, the level of automation in the production process is low, and it takes a long time to manufacture a finished product. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a highly automated battery cover bonding device for new energy vehicles.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A new energy vehicle battery box cover bonding equipment includes a left conveyor belt, a right conveyor belt, a first frame, a processing table located on one side of the first frame, a transport frame located on one side of the left conveyor belt, a second frame, a feeding table located at one end of the second frame, a third frame, and a fourth frame. The frames are provided with support rods that are fixedly connected to the frames. The bottoms of adjacent frames are connected by slide rails. The slide rails are provided with shelves, and the shelves can slide on the slide rails to move the battery box cover, thereby completing the production of the first to fourth frames. The shelves are provided with positioning grooves.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the multiple processes of producing car battery box covers are combined into one piece of equipment, resulting in high production efficiency. The production and movement of products are automatically operated through slide rails, with a high degree of automation. The products can be transferred between multiple processes without manual intervention, requiring fewer workers and lower costs.

[0007] The invention is further configured such that: the first frame is equipped with a coating mechanism for applying adhesive to the inner surface of the battery box cover; a processing table is equipped with a grinding and drilling mechanism for grinding the edges of the material; and a transport frame is equipped with a transport mechanism for moving the material from the left conveyor belt to the first frame and from the grinding mechanism to the first frame. The transport mechanism includes a conveyor belt and a gripper located above the conveyor belt. The gripper is slidably connected to the conveyor belt and is also equipped with a limiting protrusion for positioning the battery box cover, and the limiting protrusion on the gripper matches the positioning groove on the shelf. The grinding and drilling mechanism includes a table, a cover positioning component, a drilling module, and several... The grinding modules are evenly distributed around the periphery of the grinding machine. The cover positioning component is located at one end of the table of the grinding and drilling mechanism. The grinding module includes several grinding components. After the material is installed on the table, the edges of the grinding components are tightly fitted with the edges of the material. The drilling module also includes several drilling components. The positions of the drilling components match the through holes on the cover. The upper end of the drilling component is equipped with a pressure pump. The pressure pump can drive the drilling component to move vertically for drilling holes in the material. The glue application mechanism on the first frame includes several glue outlets and a first control panel.

The grinding and drilling mechanism makes the fit between the accessories and the inner cover of the battery smoother. The position of the drilling module matches the position of the through hole of the box cover to prevent incorrect hole position from causing the finished product to be unqualified. The glue outlet is located at the top of the first frame and is controlled by the first control panel, which makes the glue application speed fast and the glue application amount uniform.

[0009] The invention is further configured such that: the second frame is provided with an installation and clamping mechanism for installing and clamping materials on the battery box cover; the feeding platform is provided with a mounting mechanism for mounting thermal pads on the partition; the feeding platform and the second frame are fixedly connected by a slide rail; the mounting mechanism in the feeding platform includes a positioning component and a mounting component; the positioning component includes a positioning element; the mounting component includes a pick-and-place machine; the pick-and-place machine is located at the upper end of the feeding platform; the positioning element is located at the bottom of the pick-and-place machine and matches the through hole on the box cover; the installation and clamping mechanism includes a material-picking gripper, a pneumatic pump, a clamping plate, an air tank, and a motor; the material-picking gripper is located on the slide rail between the second frame and the feeding platform and is slidably connected to the slide rail; the pneumatic pump is located at the top of the second frame; one end of the clamping plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the pneumatic pump, and the other end is used to clamp the materials to the battery box cover; one end of the motor is electrically connected to the air tank, and the other end is electrically connected to the pneumatic pump.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the feeding platform uses a chip mounter to mount the thermal pad onto the partition, which is convenient. The positioning component makes the mounting more accurate. The mounted component is attached to the inner wall of the box cover by a slide rail and a material picker. The system is highly automated and the positioning is accurate. The air pump and pressure plate ensure that the component is subjected to uniform force when under pressure, so that it will not be damaged.
