Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the increasingly widespread application of automated production, the manufacturing industry is gradually moving towards unmanned workshops to reduce labor input and achieve intelligent, fully automated production. In the automated production process of assembling laptop single batteries into battery packs, precise variable-pitch positioning of the batteries is a key step in ensuring assembly quality and efficiency.

[0003] Currently, laptop batteries on the market come in various arrangements, including vertical, horizontal, staggered horizontal, and T-shaped configurations. Existing battery positioning mechanisms mostly use fixed-size molds or single adjustable structures, with a core technical pain point being poor compatibility; a single mechanism can only accommodate 1-2 battery arrangements. When a production line needs to switch to producing battery packs with different arrangements, it often requires replacing the entire positioning mold or a large number of parts. The changeover process is cumbersome and time-consuming, increasing production preparation time and raising the cost of mold procurement and maintenance, making it difficult to meet the flexible and efficient mass production needs of automated production lines.

[0029] The battery positioning structure described in this invention has the following advantages compared to the prior art:

[0030] Highly compatible and adaptable to various battery arrangements: The vertical and horizontal stops, vertical and horizontal pressing components in this structure can all be flexibly adjusted in position along the corresponding adjusting plates or sliding blocks. Combined with the vertically arranged vertical and horizontal power modules, this structure can accommodate various battery arrangements, including vertical, horizontal, staggered horizontal, and T-shaped arrangements. A single mechanism can meet the positioning needs of multiple products, eliminating the need for separate positioning molds for different products and solving the problem of limited adaptability in existing positioning mechanisms.

[0031] Quick and efficient changeover reduces production preparation costs: When switching to produce batteries of different specifications or arrangements, only the installation positions of each stop and extrusion component need to be adjusted, without replacing the entire mechanism or a large number of parts. This adjustment method is simple to operate, significantly shortens product changeover time, reduces mold procurement and maintenance costs, meets the needs of flexible production in automated production lines, and solves the pain points of cumbersome and costly changeovers in existing technologies.

[0032] High positioning accuracy and strong stability: The driving directions of the longitudinal and lateral power modules are perpendicular to each other, enabling clamping and positioning of the battery from two orthogonal directions. Each component is guided by an adjustment plate or slide rail, ensuring precise and controllable movement trajectory. This effectively prevents the battery from shifting or tipping during positioning, guaranteeing the quality and stability of the battery pack assembly and solving the problem of insufficient positioning accuracy in existing positioning mechanisms.

[0033] Compact structure and high space utilization: The functional components are rationally laid out, the longitudinal drive can be installed on the back of the operating table, and the adjustment plate and slide rail can adopt a sunken installation design. This design can effectively save the installation space on the top surface of the operating table, making the overall structure more compact and easy to integrate with other equipment such as grippers and conveyors in automated production lines, thereby improving the overall space utilization of the production line and meeting the needs of compact layout of automated production lines.

[0034] Low cost and easy maintenance: The core components of this positioning structure are conventional mechanical parts such as adjusting plates, stops, drivers, and slide rails, which are simple in structure and easy to procure. During use, this structure does not require frequent replacement of vulnerable parts; maintenance only requires minor adjustments to the position of components or tightening of fasteners, reducing the production and maintenance costs of the equipment and aligning with the trend of cost reduction and efficiency improvement in automated production.

[0057] Longitudinal stop 300: used to limit the battery in the longitudinal direction, and can be adapted to batteries of different sizes or arrangements by adjusting the installation position on the first transverse adjustment plate 200.

[0058] Longitudinal power module: refers to the longitudinal direction ( Figure 1 The core component driving the extrusion (vertical direction) is the longitudinal driver 410, which provides power to move the second lateral adjusting plate 420 and the longitudinal extrusion assembly 430. The second lateral adjusting plate 420 is used to mount the longitudinal extrusion assembly 430 and move it. The longitudinal extrusion assembly 430 directly acts on the battery to achieve longitudinal clamping and positioning. The longitudinal driver 410 can be a cylinder, linear push rod, etc.

[0059] Lateral stop 600: in the lateral direction ( Figure 1 The battery is limited in the left and right directions and its position can be adjusted along the first horizontal adjustment plate 200. It works in conjunction with the horizontal extrusion assembly 530 to complete the horizontal positioning.

[0060] Lateral drive module: Responsible for lateral drive. The lateral actuator 510 drives the first lateral sliding block 520 to move, which in turn drives the lateral compression assembly 530 to move, thereby achieving lateral clamping of the battery. The lateral actuator 510 can be a cylinder, linear push rod, etc.

[0061] In this embodiment, the positioning structure first adjusts the positions of the longitudinal stop 300, the transverse stop 600, the longitudinal compression assembly 430, and the transverse compression assembly 530 according to the arrangement and size of the batteries. Then, the longitudinal driver 410 and the transverse driver 510 are activated, respectively driving the longitudinal compression assembly 430 and the transverse compression assembly 530 to move, clamping and positioning the batteries from two vertical directions. The longitudinal stop 300, transverse stop 600, longitudinal compression assembly 430, and transverse compression assembly 530 can be dynamically disassembled and installed according to the number and size of the batteries to be positioned.

[0062] In this embodiment, the longitudinal and transverse power modules are driven perpendicularly, enabling battery positioning from two orthogonal directions with high accuracy and stability. Each stop and extrusion component is adjustable in position, accommodating various battery arrangements such as vertical, horizontal, staggered horizontal, and T-shaped configurations, demonstrating strong compatibility. Product changeover is achieved simply by adjusting component positions, eliminating the need to replace the entire mold set. This streamlined and quick process effectively shortens production preparation time and reduces production costs.

[0063] In one embodiment, the longitudinal power module further includes a third transverse adjustment plate 440 parallel to the second transverse adjustment plate 420, and the third transverse adjustment plate 440 is fixed on the operating table 100; the longitudinal extrusion assembly 430 includes a first mounting base 431, a second mounting base 432, a longitudinal sliding base 433, a longitudinal sliding block 434, and a longitudinal extrusion device 435; the second mounting base 432 is mounted on the third transverse adjustment plate 440 and its mounting position can be adjusted along the length direction of the third transverse adjustment plate 440; the longitudinal sliding base 433 is mounted on the second mounting base 432; the longitudinal sliding block 434 is slidably mounted on the longitudinal sliding base 433; and the longitudinal extrusion device 435 is mounted on the longitudinal sliding block 434; one end of the first mounting base 431 is mounted on the second transverse adjustment plate 420, and the other end is fixedly connected to the longitudinal sliding block 434.

[0064] The third horizontal adjustment plate 440 is parallel to the second horizontal adjustment plate 420 and is fixed on the operating table 100, providing a reference for the installation and adjustment of the second mounting base 432.

[0065] First mounting base 431: It serves to connect the second horizontal adjusting plate 420 and the longitudinal sliding block 434, and can transmit the movement of the second horizontal adjusting plate 420 to the longitudinal sliding block 434.

[0066] Second mounting base 432: mounted on the third transverse adjustment plate 440, used to fix the longitudinal sliding base 433. Its position can be adjusted along the third transverse adjustment plate 440 to adapt to different battery positioning requirements.

[0069] Longitudinal extrusion device 435: directly contacts the battery to complete longitudinal extrusion positioning.

[0070] When the longitudinal extrusion assembly 430 of this embodiment is working, the longitudinal driver 410 drives the second transverse adjustment plate 420 to move, and the first mounting base 431 pulls the longitudinal sliding block 434 to slide on the longitudinal sliding seat 433, thereby driving the longitudinal extrusion device 435 to move; the second mounting base 432 can be adjusted along the third transverse adjustment plate 440 to adjust the overall position of the longitudinal extrusion assembly 430 to adapt to batteries of different sizes.

[0071] In this embodiment, the third lateral adjustment plate 440 is arranged parallel to the second lateral adjustment plate 420, and works in conjunction with the first mounting base 431 and the second mounting base 432 to make the movement trajectory of the longitudinal extrusion assembly 430 more stable and improve positioning accuracy. The longitudinal sliding block 434 slides on the longitudinal sliding seat 433, with low movement resistance, making the extrusion action smoother and reducing power loss. The second mounting base 432 can be adjusted along the third lateral adjustment plate 440 to further increase the adjustment range of the longitudinal extrusion assembly 430 and enhance the compatibility of the mechanism with batteries of different specifications.

[0072] In one embodiment, the longitudinal extrusion device 435 includes a longitudinal extrusion block 4351 and a connecting block 4352; the longitudinal extrusion block 4351 is connected to one end of the connecting block 4352 for extruding the battery; the connecting block 4352 is provided with a strip-shaped mounting hole 4353 along its length, and the connecting block 4352 is mounted to the longitudinal sliding block 434 in an adjustable position through the strip-shaped mounting hole 4353.

[0073] Longitudinal extrusion block 4351: It directly contacts the battery surface and applies extrusion force to the battery under the drive of the longitudinal power module to achieve longitudinal positioning.

[0074] Connecting block 4352: Used to connect the longitudinal pressing block 4351 and the longitudinal sliding block 434, and is the force transmission component between the two.

[0075] Strip mounting hole 4353: It is set along the length of the connecting block 4352. The connecting block 4352 is installed on the longitudinal sliding block 434 through this hole. After the fastener is loosened, the installation position of the connecting block 4352 can be adjusted along the strip mounting hole 4353.

[0076] In this embodiment, the longitudinal extrusion device 435 can adjust the position of the connecting block 4352 on the longitudinal sliding block 434 according to the longitudinal positioning requirements of the battery, thereby adjusting the longitudinal position of the longitudinal extrusion block 4351 to ensure more accurate extrusion positioning of the battery.

[0077] In this embodiment, the design of the strip-shaped mounting hole 4353 allows for fine-tuning of the position of the longitudinal extrusion block 4351, further improving the accuracy of longitudinal positioning and enabling it to adapt to batteries of different specifications. The adjustment method is simple, requiring no replacement of parts; different positioning requirements can be met simply by adjusting the position of the connecting block 4352, thus enhancing the flexibility and versatility of the mechanism.

[0078] In one embodiment, the lateral power module further includes a first lateral slide rail 550, and a first lateral sliding block 520 is disposed on the first lateral slide rail 550.

[0079] First transverse slide rail 550: Installed on the operating table 100, it provides sliding guidance for the first transverse slide block 520 and restricts the movement trajectory of the first transverse slide block 520.

[0080] First transverse sliding block 520: Installed on first transverse slide rail 550, it can slide along the slide rail. A transverse extrusion assembly 530 is installed above it, which is driven by transverse driver 510 to move.

[0081] When the lateral power module of this embodiment is working, the lateral driver 510 drives the first lateral sliding block 520 to slide along the first lateral slide rail 550, thereby driving the lateral extrusion component 530 to make linear motion, so as to realize the lateral extrusion positioning of the battery.

[0082] In this embodiment, the first transverse slide rail 550 provides guidance for the first transverse sliding block 520, ensuring the straightness of the movement trajectory of the first transverse sliding block 520 and improving the accuracy of transverse positioning. The cooperation between the sliding block and the slide rail results in low motion resistance, reducing the power loss of the transverse actuator 510 and making the transverse pressing action smoother and more efficient.

[0083] Furthermore, the transverse extrusion assembly 530 includes a second transverse slide rail 540, a second transverse sliding block 560, and a transverse extrusion member; the second transverse slide rail 540 is disposed on the first transverse sliding block 520; the second transverse sliding block 560 is disposed on the second transverse slide rail 540, and the second transverse sliding block 560 is fixedly connected to the transverse extrusion member; wherein, the second transverse sliding block 560 can be adjusted in installation position along the length direction of the first transverse sliding block 520.

[0084] The second transverse slide rail 540 is installed on the first transverse slide block 520 to provide sliding guidance for the second transverse slide block 560 and ensure that the second transverse slide block 560 moves in a fixed direction.

[0085] The second transverse sliding block 560 is installed on the second transverse slide rail 540 and can slide along the slide rail. At the same time, its position can be adjusted along the length direction of the first transverse sliding block 520, thereby driving the transverse extrusion member to adjust its position.

[0086] Lateral extrusion component: It acts directly on the battery and performs lateral extrusion and positioning of the battery under the action of the second lateral sliding block 560.

[0087] In this embodiment, when the transverse extrusion assembly 530 is in use, the position of the second transverse sliding block 560 on the first transverse sliding block 520 is first adjusted according to the arrangement and size of the battery. Then, the transverse driver 510 is activated to drive the first transverse sliding block 520 to slide along the first transverse slide rail 550. In turn, the second transverse sliding block 560 drives the transverse extrusion member to clamp the battery transversely.

[0088] In this embodiment, the second transverse sliding block 560 can be adjusted along the first transverse sliding block 520, expanding the adjustment range of the transverse extruder and enabling it to accommodate batteries with more arrangement configurations. The double-layer slide rail design makes the movement of the transverse extruder more stable, improves positioning accuracy, and effectively prevents deviation during the extrusion process.

[0089] Furthermore, the transverse extrusion member can be slidably adjusted along the second transverse slide rail 540 to adjust its installation position, and after adjustment, it can be disassembled and fixed to the second transverse slide rail 540.

[0090] In this embodiment, the transverse extruder can not only adjust its position along the first transverse sliding block 520 with the second transverse sliding block 560, but also slide along the second transverse slide rail 540 to adjust its position. After adjustment, the transverse extruder is detachably fixed to the second transverse slide rail 540 with fasteners to ensure that its position does not shift during the positioning process. In practical applications, the transverse extruder can be slid to a suitable position according to the transverse dimensions of the battery, and then fixed with bolts or other fasteners before performing the extrusion positioning operation.

[0091] In this embodiment, the lateral extrusion member can be finely adjusted along the second lateral slide rail 540, further improving the accuracy of lateral positioning and enabling precise adaptation to batteries of different lateral dimensions. The detachable fixing method simplifies and facilitates adjustment operations, eliminating the need to replace parts and reducing maintenance costs and changeover time.

[0092] In one embodiment, the transverse extrusion member includes a stop bar 5331 parallel to the transverse stop 600, and a transverse extrusion block 5332 is provided on the stop bar 5331.

[0093] Stop bar 5331: It is set parallel to the transverse stop block 600 and serves as the mounting carrier for the transverse extrusion block 5332. Its length can be selected according to actual needs to accommodate different numbers of battery arrangements.

[0094] Lateral extrusion block 5332: Installed on the stop bar 5331, it directly contacts the battery and performs lateral extrusion on the battery under the action of the stop bar 5331.

[0095] When the transverse extrusion member of this embodiment is working, the stop bar 5331 moves with the second transverse sliding block 560, driving the transverse extrusion block 5332 to approach the battery until the transverse extrusion block 5332 contacts the battery surface and applies extrusion force, and cooperates with the transverse stop block 600 to complete the transverse positioning.

[0096] In this embodiment, the stop bar 5331 is parallel to the transverse stop block 600, correspondingly forming a battery clamping area to ensure uniform pressure exerted by the transverse extrusion block 5332 on the battery, preventing deformation or displacement of the battery due to uneven force. The position and number of transverse extrusion blocks 5332 can be selected on the stop bar 5331 according to the battery specifications, which can adapt to the positioning of different battery models.

[0097] In one embodiment, the stop bar 5331 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 5333 along its upper edge, and the transverse pressing block 5332 is installed in different mounting holes 5333 to adjust the mounting position.

[0098] Mounting holes 5333: evenly distributed along the length of the stop bar 5331, providing multiple mounting positions for the transverse extrusion block 5332.

[0099] The transverse extrusion block 5332 can be adjusted in position on the stop bar 5331 by selecting different mounting holes 5333, thereby adapting to battery arrangements of different specifications.

[0100] When in use, install the transverse compression blocks 5332 on the corresponding mounting holes 5333 according to the battery specifications to ensure that each transverse compression block 5332 can act precisely on the battery.

[0101] The design with multiple mounting holes 5333 allows for more flexible adjustment of the position of the transverse extrusion block 5332, enabling it to adapt to batteries of different specifications and providing greater compatibility. The adjustment method is simple, requiring no additional machining of parts; adjustment can be completed simply by changing the mounting hole positions, reducing production costs and changeover time.

[0106] The adjustment method in this embodiment is as follows: according to the size and arrangement of the battery, the installation position of the longitudinal stop 300 in the first transverse adjustment mounting hole 210, the installation position of the longitudinal extrusion assembly 430 in the second transverse adjustment mounting hole 421, and the installation position of the second mounting base 432 in the third transverse adjustment mounting hole 441 are adjusted respectively to achieve adaptation to different batteries.

[0107] In this embodiment, the design of multiple sets of adjustment mounting holes allows for more precise and flexible position adjustment of the longitudinal stop 300 and the longitudinal extrusion assembly 430, significantly improving the mechanism's compatibility with batteries of different specifications. The adjustment operation is simple, requiring no complex tools; it can be completed simply by disassembling and installing fasteners, effectively shortening changeover time and improving production efficiency.

[0110] One end of the second lateral adjustment plate 420 is connected to the output end of the longitudinal driver 410, and the free end protrudes from the top surface of the operating table 100 and is connected to the longitudinal extrusion assembly 430, transmitting the power of the longitudinal driver 410 to the longitudinal extrusion assembly 430. During operation, the longitudinal driver 410 on the back of the operating table 100 drives the second lateral adjustment plate 420 to move, thereby driving the longitudinal extrusion assembly 430 to longitudinally position the battery.

[0111] In this embodiment, the longitudinal driver 410 is mounted on the back of the operating table 100, saving installation space on the top surface and making the mechanism layout more compact, which is conducive to realizing the miniaturization design of the production line. A single longitudinal driver 410 can drive the movement of all longitudinal extrusion components 430, reducing the number of drivers used and lowering the manufacturing and maintenance costs of the equipment.

[0112] In one embodiment, the battery positioning structure further includes an in-situ detection sensor 700, which is mounted on the first lateral adjustment plate 200 and whose mounting position can be adjusted along the length of the first lateral adjustment plate 200, wherein at least one sensor is provided in each battery positioning area.

[0114] The sensor is mounted on the first lateral adjustment plate 200 and its position can be adjusted along the length of the adjustment plate to adapt to the detection requirements of different battery positioning areas. At least one sensor is set in each battery positioning area. During operation, after the gripper places the battery into the positioning area, the in-position detection sensor 700 detects that the battery is in place and sends a signal to the control system. The control system then activates the longitudinal and lateral power modules for clamping and positioning.

[0115] In this embodiment, the presence detection sensor 700 enables automated detection, preventing positioning failures due to improper battery placement and improving positioning reliability and automation. The sensor's position is adjustable to adapt to different battery positioning areas, enhancing the mechanism's versatility and flexibility.

[0116] In one embodiment, the battery positioning structure further includes a support frame 800, on which the operating table 100 is mounted.

[0117] Support frame 800: As a supporting component of the entire positioning mechanism, it is used to install the operating table 100, and its height can be designed according to the height requirements of the production line.

[0118] The support frame 800 is typically made of metal profiles or welded structures, possessing sufficient strength and stability to ensure that the operating table 100 does not shake during operation. In this embodiment, the positioning mechanism is installed at a designated position on the production line via the support frame 800, and the various components on the operating table 100 complete the battery positioning operation.

[0119] In one embodiment, the operating table 100 is provided with a first recessed portion, and a third horizontal adjustment plate 440 is installed on the first recessed portion.

[0120] First recessed section: A recessed installation area opened on the surface of the operating table 100, the depth of which is adapted to the thickness of the third horizontal adjustment plate 440.

[0121] The third horizontal adjustment plate 440 is installed inside the first recessed part, so that the top surface of the adjustment plate is flush with or slightly lower than the top surface of the operating table 100, so as to avoid the adjustment plate protruding and affecting the placement and positioning of the battery.

[0122] During installation, the third lateral adjustment plate 440 is embedded into the first recessed part and then secured with fasteners to ensure installation stability. The design of the first recessed part allows the third lateral adjustment plate 440 to be embedded, saving space on the top surface of the operating table 100 and making the mechanism layout more compact. The third lateral adjustment plate 440 does not protrude from the top surface of the operating table, avoiding interference with battery placement and ensuring smooth positioning operations.

[0123] In one implementation, a second recessed section is provided on the operating table 100, and a first transverse slide rail 550 is installed on the second recessed section.

[0124] Second recessed section: A recessed installation area opened on the surface of the operating table 100 for installing the first transverse slide rail 550, the depth of which matches the thickness of the first transverse slide rail 550.

[0125] The first transverse slide rail 550 is installed inside the second recessed part, so that the top surface of the slide rail is flush with or slightly lower than the top surface of the operating table 100, so as to avoid the slide rail protruding and affecting the movement of the first transverse sliding block 520 and the positioning of the battery.

[0126] During installation, the first transverse slide rail 550 is embedded into and fixed in the second recessed portion to ensure the straightness and installation stability of the slide rail. The design of the second recessed portion allows the first transverse slide rail 550 to be embedded, reducing the space occupied by the slide rail on the top surface of the operating table and making the mechanism layout more reasonable. The first transverse slide rail 550 does not protrude from the top surface of the operating table, avoiding interference with the movement of the first transverse sliding block 520, ensuring the movement accuracy of the transverse power module, and thus improving the accuracy of transverse positioning.
