[0014] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0015] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, the present invention provides a welding mechanism integrating module coding, addressing, and cleaning, including a processing table 1. The processing table 1 has a double-speed chain body 2 inside. A support rod 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the double-speed chain body 2. A tray 4 is drivenly connected above the support rod 3. The tray 4 has a first slide groove 5 inside. A first slider 6 is slidably connected inside the first slide groove 5. A clamping plate 7 is fixedly installed above the first slider 6. A first fixing plate 8 and a positioning plate 13 are fixedly installed above the tray 4. A cylinder 9 is fixedly installed on the outside of the first fixing plate 8. An output shaft 10 is fixedly installed at the output end of the cylinder 9. The outside of the output shaft 10 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 7. A drive assembly 12 is fixedly installed on the left side of the tray 4.

[0016] When it is necessary to engrave the battery module, first place the battery module on top of the tray 4. Then, start the cylinder 9 to push the clamping plate 7 to the right through the output shaft 10. At this time, the clamping plate 7 will be displaced through the sliding connection between the first slider 6 and the first slide groove 5, so that the clamping plate 7 moves closer to the second slider 17, so that the clamping plate 7 and the positioning plate 13 can clamp the battery module. At the same time, since the position of the clamping plate 7 and the positioning plate 13 can be adjusted, the effect of clamping battery modules of different sizes can be achieved.

[0017] Among them, a bracket 14 is fixedly installed above the processing table 1, a first crossbeam 15 is fixedly installed above the bracket 14, a second slide groove 16 is opened inside the first crossbeam 15, a second slider 17 is slidably connected inside the second slide groove 16, a cross plate 18 is fixedly installed above the second slider 17, a second crossbeam 19 is fixedly installed above the cross plate 18, and a first servo motor 11 is fixedly installed in front of the first crossbeam 15.

[0018] The first servo motor 11 is started to move the drive transmission device inside the first crossbeam 15, so that the cross plate 18 is driven to slide and connect with the second slide groove 16 through the second slider 17, so that the position of the cross plate 18 is quickly adjusted, thereby achieving the effect of rapid forward and backward displacement.

[0019] The second crossbeam 19 has a third slide groove 20 inside, and a third slider 21 is slidably connected inside the third slide groove 20. A connecting plate 22 is fixedly installed above the third slider 21. A first support plate 23 is fixedly installed in front of the connecting plate 22. An addressing component 24 and a cleaning component 25 are fixedly installed in front of the first support plate 23. A laser marking component 26 is fixedly installed above the processing table 1.

[0020] The cleaning component 25 is located to the left of the addressing component 24, and the cleaning component 25 and the addressing component 24 are parallel. When the battery pack is placed on top of the tray 4, it will be driven by the double-speed chain body 2 and located at the bottom of the cleaning component 25 and the addressing component 24 respectively. At this time, the cleaning component 25 and the addressing component 24 will gradually cooperate with the laser marking component 26 to form marking, addressing and cleaning effects. Unlike the traditional method where each step needs to be processed on a separate production line, this reduces the overall processing cost and achieves the effect of integrated processing.

[0021] The addressing component 24 consists of a first sliding plate 2401, a second fixed plate 2402, a detection camera 2403, a second support plate 2404, a rangefinder 2405, a barcode scanner 2406, and a second servo motor 2407. The first sliding plate 2401 is slidably connected to the addressing component 24. The detection camera 2403 is fixedly installed in front of the second fixed plate 2402. The barcode scanner 2406 and the rangefinder 2405 are fixedly installed in front of the second support plate 2404. An illumination source is fixedly installed at the bottom of the second support plate 2404.

[0022] As the battery module moves from right to left, the internal program of the laser marking component 26 is activated to engrave the surface of the battery module. When the battery module moves below the addressing component 24, the detection camera 2403 is activated to take pictures of the battery cell terminals, determine the position and polarity of the terminals, and achieve the detection effect. At the same time, the barcode scanner 2406 scans the battery cell, generates a module code, laser-engraves it to the designated position, and scans the code. The relevant information is then uploaded to the MES system.

[0023] The cleaning assembly 25 consists of a third servo motor 2501, a second slide plate 2502, a connecting block 2503, a vision camera 2504, a vision light source 2505, a laser galvanometer 2506, and a dust collection hood 2507. The second slide plate 2502 is slidably connected to the cleaning assembly 25. A height measuring instrument is fixedly installed on the outside of the connecting block 2503. The vision light source 2505 is located below the vision camera 2504, and the laser galvanometer 2506 is located in front of the second slide plate 2502.

[0024] After the battery module moves to the bottom of the cleaning assembly 25, the rangefinder 2405 measures the distance of the terminal post. Defective products are then discharged. At the same time, the vision camera 2504 is activated to capture data and upload it to the MES. During this time, the vision light source 2505 remains constantly lit. When the vision camera 2504 is taking pictures, the light source is kept sufficient to improve the overall clarity.

[0025] The dust hood 2507 is located to the right of the laser galvanometer 2506, and the interior of the dust hood 2507 is hollow.

[0026] The laser galvanometer 2506 controls two mutually perpendicular galvanometer motors to deflect rapidly, precisely changing the reflection direction of the laser beam. Combined with the field lens focusing, this allows the laser focal point to move at high speed and with precision on the processing plane, thereby completing graphic operations such as marking and engraving. The debris generated during engraving is absorbed by the dust collection hood 2507, achieving rapid cleaning and ensuring that it does not affect subsequent processing.

[0027] The working principle and usage process of this invention are as follows: First, a first fixing plate 8 and a positioning plate 13 are fixedly installed above the tray 4. A cylinder 9 is fixedly installed on the outside of the first fixing plate 8, and an output shaft 10 is fixedly installed at the output end of the cylinder 9. The output shaft 10 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 7 on the outside, and a drive assembly 12 is fixedly installed on the left side of the tray 4. When it is necessary to engrave the battery module, the battery module is first placed above the tray 4. At this time, the cylinder 9 is activated to push the clamping plate 7 to the right through the output shaft 10. The clamping plate 7 will then be displaced through the sliding connection between the first slider 6 and the first slide groove 5, causing the clamping plate 7 to move closer to the second slider 17, so that the clamping plate 7 and the positioning plate 13 can clamp the battery module. The positions of the clamping plate 7 and the positioning plate 13 can be adjusted to achieve the effect of clamping battery modules of different sizes. Secondly, a third slide groove 20 is provided inside the second crossbeam 19, and a third slider 21 is slidably connected inside the third slide groove 20. A connecting plate 22 is fixedly installed above the third slider 21, and a first support plate 23 is fixedly installed in front of the connecting plate 22. An addressing component 24 and a cleaning component 25 are fixedly installed in front of the first support plate 23. The cleaning component 25 is located to the left of the addressing component 24, and the cleaning component 25 and the addressing component 24 are parallel. When the battery pack is placed above the tray 4, it will be driven by the double-speed chain body 2 and positioned at the bottom of the cleaning component 25 and the addressing component 24 respectively. The cleaning component 25, addressing component 24, and laser marking component 26 work together to achieve marking, addressing, and cleaning effects. This differs from traditional methods where each step requires a separate production line, reducing overall processing costs and achieving integrated processing. When the battery module moves from right to left, the internal program of the laser marking component 26 is activated to engrave the surface of the battery module. When the battery module moves below the addressing component 24, the detection camera 2403 is activated to photograph the cell terminals, determining their position and polarity for detection. Simultaneously, the barcode scanner 2406 scans the cell, generating a module code, which is then laser-engraved to a designated location and scanned. The relevant information is uploaded to the MES system. After the battery module moves below the cleaning assembly 25, the rangefinder 2405 measures the distance to the terminal post. Defective products are then discharged. Simultaneously, the vision camera 2504 is activated to capture data and upload it to the MES. During this time, the vision light source 2505 remains constantly lit. When the vision camera 2504 is taking pictures, the light source is kept sufficient to improve the overall clarity. Finally, the laser galvanometer 2506 controls two mutually perpendicular galvanometer motors to deflect rapidly, precisely changing the reflection direction of the laser beam. Combined with the field lens focusing, the laser focus moves at high speed and precision on the processing plane, thereby completing graphic operations such as marking and engraving. The debris generated during engraving is absorbed by the dust collection hood 2507, achieving rapid cleaning and ensuring that it does not affect subsequent processing.
