DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other without conflict. For the convenience of description, if the words "upper", "lower", "left" and "right" appear in the following text, they only indicate that the upper, lower, left and right directions are consistent with the drawings themselves, and do not limit the structure.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a battery insulating coating printing production line provided in this embodiment includes a first printer 1, a second printer 2, a third printer 3, an electrodeless lamp 4, a conveyor line 5, a battery fixture 6, a first grasping mechanism 7, a second grasping mechanism 8, a positioning mechanism 9, a cabinet 10 and a flipping mechanism 11.

[0030] The opposite sides of the conveyor line 5 in the length direction X are provided with a loading end 51 and a unloading end 52. The first printer 1, the second printer 2, the third printer 3 and the electrodeless lamp 4 are located beside the conveyor line 5 and are arranged in sequence from the loading end 51 to the unloading end 52. The first printer 1 is a battery top surface printer, which is erected above the conveyor line 5 in the form of a gantry. The second printer 2 is arranged on one side of the conveyor line 5 in the width direction Y, and the third printer 3 is arranged on the other side of the conveyor line 5 in the width direction Y. The second printer 2 is used to print the left side of the battery, and the third printer 3 is used to print the right side of the battery. The electrodeless lamp 4 is a magnetic energy lamp, an outsourced part, used for battery curing.

[0031] like Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the conveyor line 5 is a circular plate chain line having two long sides 53 and two short sides 54, and the bottom of the seat body 62 of the battery fixture 6 is connected to the plate chain line. A loading end 51 is arranged on one of the short sides 54 of the conveyor line 5, and a unloading end 52 is arranged on the other short side 54. The first printer 1, the second printer 2, the third printer 3 and the electrodeless lamp 4 are arranged on one of the long sides 53, and the other long side 53 forms a return line for the battery fixture 6 to return from the unloading end 52 to the loading end 51. The first printer 1, the second printer 2, the third printer 3 and the electrodeless lamp 4 on the two conveyor lines 5 are rotationally symmetrical.

[0032] The battery fixture 6 and the conveyor line 5 can also be moved by magnetic suspension. For example, in the working section of the long side 53, a magnetic suspension drive is used to ensure the accuracy of the movement position of the battery fixture 6 and the stability during printing, so that the ink printing thickness is controlled at 40um±10um. The magnetic suspension consists of a stator and a mover, and a single mover can be controlled separately on the conveyor line 5. The return route is an ordinary panel line with lower accuracy requirements.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, a positioning mechanism 9 is provided on both the loading end 51 and the unloading end 52 . The positioning mechanism 9 is fixed to the side of the conveyor line 5 . The positioning mechanism 9 contacts or separates from the battery fixture 6 in a telescopic manner.

[0034] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the positioning mechanism 9 includes a fixed bracket 91, a telescopic member 92 and a limit plate 93. The fixed bracket 91 is fixed to the side of the conveyor line 5. Two fixed brackets 91 can be arranged opposite to each other in the width direction of the conveyor line 5, or only one fixed bracket 91 can be arranged. At least two telescopic members 92 are arranged in the height direction of the fixed bracket 91. The telescopic member 92 is a cylinder, and its end is connected to the limit plate 93. There are two types of limit plates 93, one is a first plate 931 with a flat end, and the other is a second plate 932 with a sharp end.

[0035] The battery fixture 6 includes a seat 62 and a clamping plate 63 slidably disposed on the upper end of the seat 62. The clamping plates 63 are disposed at both ends of the seat 62, and the positioning cavity 61 is formed between the two clamping plates 63. The clamping plates 63 are opened and closed by a double-headed cylinder or a double-headed motor so that the clamping plates 63 clamp the battery.

[0036] The upper end of the seat body 62 is provided with a limiting groove 66. The lower end of the seat body 62 is formed with a mounting cavity 67, and two opposite inner side walls of the mounting cavity 67 are respectively connected with clamping wheels 64 through springs 65, and a limiting groove 66' is formed between the two clamping wheels 64. The clamping wheels 64 are rotatably connected by bolts.

[0037] When the telescopic member 92 extends toward the direction close to the battery fixture 6, the limiting plate 93 is driven to extend, so that the first plate 931 extends out and engages with the limiting groove 66 at the upper end of the seat body 62. The second plate 932 extends out and engages with the limiting groove 66' at the lower end, and under the action of the spring 65, the clamping wheel 64 contacts the side of the second plate 932 to form a sharp angle to achieve locking. The clamping wheel 64 can be a bearing.

[0038] The loading end 51 is provided with a first grabbing mechanism 7, and the unloading end 52 is provided with a second grabbing mechanism 8. The first grabbing mechanism 7 and the second grabbing mechanism 8 are used for loading and unloading batteries. The first grabbing mechanism 7 and the second grabbing mechanism 8 are both fixed to the side of the conveyor line 5.

[0039] In addition, in order to meet the printing requirements of the six sides of the square battery, the conveyor line 5 is bidirectionally parallel. The first printer 1, the second printer 2, the third printer 3 and the electrodeless lamp 4 are arranged on the side away from each other of the two conveyor lines 5. The first grabbing mechanism 7 is arranged at the loading end 51 of each conveyor line 5, and the second grabbing mechanism 8 is arranged between the unloading ends 52 of the two conveyor lines 5. The unloading end 52 of the first conveyor line 5 is the loading end 51 of the second conveyor line 5. And a flipping mechanism 11 is arranged on the unloading end 52 of the first conveyor line 5.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the battery insulating coating printing production line is placed on a cabinet 10, and may also be placed on the ground.

[0041] During operation, the first grabbing mechanism 7 at the loading end 51 of the conveyor line 5 grabs the battery in the storage area and places it in the positioning cavity 61 of the battery jig 6, and starts the clamp 63 to clamp the battery. Start the conveyor line 5 to transport the battery jig 6 to the first printer 1. At this time, the second battery jig 6 returns to the loading end 51 from the return line. When the top surface of the battery 12 on the first battery jig 6 is printed, the battery jig 6 at the second loading end 51 is loaded according to the above steps. When the first battery jig 6 completes printing, start the conveyor line 5 again to transport the first battery jig 6 to the second printer 2. At this time, the second battery jig 6 is located at the first printer 1, and the third battery jig 6 returns to the loading end 51 from the return line. Repeat the above steps to allow the batteries on the first battery jig 6 to complete printing and curing in turn. After completion, it is sent to the unloading end 52, and the flipping mechanism 11 is a telescopic cylinder. At this time, the cylinder extends to clamp the battery 12, flips the battery 180 degrees, and is positioned on the battery fixture 6 on the second conveyor line 5 by the second grabbing mechanism 8. Then, on the second conveyor line 5, it passes through the first printer 1, the second printer 2, the third printer 3 and the electrodeless lamp 4 in sequence to perform corresponding actions, and finally the battery 12 is unloaded from the unloading end 52 of the second conveyor line 5 through the first grabbing mechanism 7.

[0042] In addition, a camera may be added during the production process. The camera is located at the rear section of the feeding section 51 and uses visual positioning to meet the high-precision printing requirements.
