[0032] Please also read Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment provides a glue sticking device, including a driving device 1, two glue sticking mechanisms (not shown in the figure), two manipulators 2 and a glue sticking platform 3.

[0033] Among them, the manipulator 2 is preferably a gripper cylinder, the manipulator 2 is used to clamp the workpiece 4 to be glued (such as a laminated battery cell), the gluing platform 3 specifically includes a fixed frame 31, a driving mechanism 32 and two gluing stations 33, the two gluing stations 33 are used to place the workpiece 4 to be glued, and the two gluing stations 33 specifically include a first gluing station 331 and a second gluing station 332 arranged at intervals in the vertical direction, wherein the first gluing station 331 is fixed on the fixed frame 31, the second gluing station 332 is located above the first gluing station 331 and is slidably connected to the fixed frame 31 in the vertical direction, and the driving mechanism 32 is respectively connected to the fixed frame 31 and the second gluing station 332, and the driving mechanism 32 is used to drive the second gluing station 332 to slide relative to the fixed frame 31 in the vertical direction to adjust the distance between the first gluing station 331 and the second gluing station 332. Among them, the two manipulators 2 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction and relatively fixed, that is, the two manipulators 2 move synchronously, and the driving device 1 is respectively connected to the two manipulators 2, and the driving device 1 is used to drive one of the manipulators 2 to move above the first gluing station 331, and the driving device 1 is also used to drive the other manipulator 2 to move above the second gluing station 332, and one of the gluing mechanisms is used to glue the workpiece 4 to be glued located on the first gluing station 331, and the other gluing mechanism is used to glue the workpiece 4 to be glued located on the second gluing station 332, but the fixed distance D1 between the two manipulators in the vertical direction and the fixed distance D2 between the two gluing mechanisms in the vertical direction are not equal.

[0034] Specifically, the D1 value is preferably greater than the D2 value, so that the second gluing station 332 needs to move upward to the specified position under the drive of the driving mechanism 32, and the two gluing stations 33 can simultaneously receive the workpieces 4 to be glued from the two robots 2, and before gluing, the second gluing station 332 needs to move downward to the predetermined position under the drive of the driving mechanism 32, and the two gluing mechanisms can simultaneously perform synchronous gluing operations on the workpieces 4 to be glued located on the two gluing stations 33.

[0035] In other embodiments, the D1 value may be smaller than the D2 value, so that the second gluing station 332 needs to be driven by the driving mechanism 32 to move downward to a specified position before the two gluing stations 33 can simultaneously receive the workpieces 4 to be glued from the two manipulators 2, and before gluing, the second gluing station 332 needs to be driven by the driving mechanism 32 to move upward to a predetermined position before the two gluing mechanisms can simultaneously perform synchronous gluing operations on the workpieces 4 to be glued located on the two gluing stations 33.

[0036] In this embodiment, the driving device 1 specifically includes an X-axis module 11 and a Z-axis module 12 connected in sequence. The above-mentioned two manipulators 2 are both installed on the Z-axis module 12.

The X-axis module 11 and the Z-axis module 12 can select a screw module, a cylinder module, a linear motor, a synchronous belt module or a gear rack structure, etc. according to the rigidity, walking accuracy, etc.

[0037] In this embodiment, the driving mechanism 32 specifically includes a motor 321, a reducer 322, a gear 323 and a rack 324, wherein the motor 321 is fixed on the fixed frame 31, the output end of the motor 321 is connected to the input end of the reducer 322, the gear 323 and the output end of the reducer 322 are fixedly connected, the rack 324 and the gear 323 are meshed for transmission, and the length direction of the rack 324 points in the vertical direction, the rack 324 and the second gluing station 332 are fixedly connected, the reducer 322 is used to reduce the rotation speed of the motor 321 but increase the driving torque, so that the gear 323 can reliably drive the rack 324 and the second gluing station 332 to move up and down in the vertical direction. In order to improve the stability of the second gluing station 332 in the vertical direction, this embodiment fixes a plurality of guide rods 34 on the fixed frame 31, and the length direction of the guide rods 34 extends along the vertical direction. In addition, this scheme also arranges a plurality of linear bearings 35 on the second gluing station 332, and each linear bearing 35 is sleeved on a corresponding guide rod 34 and can slide freely along the outer wall of the guide rod 34.

[0038] In this embodiment, a positioning mechanism 36 and a pressing mechanism 37 are respectively provided on the two gluing stations 33. The positioning mechanism 36 is used to calibrate the position of the workpiece 4 to be glued on the gluing station 33 to improve the accuracy of gluing, and the pressing mechanism 37 is used to fix the workpiece 4 to be glued at a preset position of the gluing station 33 so that the workpiece 4 to be glued will not be offset during the gluing process, thereby further improving the accuracy of gluing.

[0039] In this embodiment, the positioning mechanism 36 specifically includes a driving member 361, a positioning block 362 and a slider 363, wherein the driving member 361 and the positioning block 362 are both fixed on the gluing station 33, the slider 363 and the gluing station 33 are slidably connected, the slider 363 and the positioning block 362 are spaced apart from each other, the driving member 361 is used to drive the slider 363 to slide, so that the slider 363 approaches or moves away from the positioning block 362, when the slider 363 approaches the positioning block 362, the slider 363 and the positioning block 362 are used to jointly clamp the workpiece 4 to be glued, thereby calibrating the position of the workpiece 4 to be glued on the gluing station 33.

[0040] In this embodiment, the driving member 361 is preferably a cylinder, and the workpiece 4 to be glued is specifically a laminated battery cell. Since the laminated battery cell cannot be subjected to excessive force, the present solution also provides a pressure regulating valve 38 on the glue laminating platform 3. The pressure regulating valve 38 is provided on the path connecting the driving member 361 and the external air source. The pressure regulating valve 38 is used to adjust the air pressure of the driving member 361 to adjust the magnitude of the force applied by the slider 363 to the laminated battery cell, thereby ensuring that the slider 363 does not apply excessive force to the laminated battery cell.

[0041] In this embodiment, the pressing mechanism 37 specifically includes a connected rotary pressing cylinder 371 and a pressing block 372, wherein the rotary pressing cylinder 371 is fixed on the gluing station 33, and the rotary pressing cylinder 371 is used to control the pressing block 372 to rotate and lift. When the pressing block 372 rotates out, the pressing block 372 can avoid the manipulator 2 from placing the workpiece 4 to be glued on the gluing station 33. When the pressing block 372 needs to press the workpiece 4 to be glued, the rotary pressing cylinder 371 first drives the pressing block 372 to rotate so that the pressing block 372 is located directly above the workpiece 4 to be glued, and then the rotary pressing cylinder 371 drives the pressing block 372 to descend, so that the pressing block 372 can press the workpiece 4 to be glued on the gluing station 33 to improve the stability of the workpiece 4 to be glued on the gluing station 33.

[0042] In summary, the gluing platform 3 of this solution is provided with two gluing stations 33, so that two workpieces 4 to be glued (such as two laminated battery cells) can be glued at the same time, thereby improving the production efficiency of the blade battery. The driving mechanism 32 can drive one of the gluing stations 33 to move in the vertical direction, so that the distance between the two gluing stations 33 can be changed, so that under the premise of realizing the function of double-station gluing, this solution is compatible with two manipulators 2 for loading or unloading, which can accurately place two workpieces 4 to be glued on a corresponding gluing station 33, so as to improve the accuracy of loading or unloading the workpiece 4 to be glued at a corresponding gluing station 33.
