Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mechanical processing equipment, in particular to a new type of sheet material gluing machine. Background Art

[0002] A square-shell battery is a lithium battery with a square metal shell. Compared with batteries of other shapes, such as cylindrical or soft-pack batteries, square-shell batteries have better applicability in energy storage containers, energy storage cabinets, home energy storage, mobile power supplies and other application scenarios due to their sturdy structure, high space utilization and regular shape. During the production process of square-shell batteries, a gluing process is required to ensure that the electrodes and other components inside the battery are fixed and protected to prevent problems such as short circuits or contamination during use.

[0003] The sheet glue machine is an automated device that is mainly used to apply tape to specific locations of battery sheets (such as square shell batteries) to fix the battery's poles, isolate the positive and negative poles, enhance the structural strength, and improve the overall performance and safety of the battery. The sheet glue machine locates the battery cell through a sensor or optical recognition system, then automatically adjusts the length and width of the tape, and accurately attaches the tape to the specified location of the battery cell through a vacuum suction cup or a robotic arm, such as the pole, tab, or side of the battery cell.

[0004] Existing sheet glue machines are often unable to achieve high-precision positioning when positioning the battery cells due to limitations of mechanical structure or sensors. This results in the battery cells being easily slightly offset during the glue bonding process, thus affecting the glue bonding accuracy. Utility Model Content

[0014] Furthermore, the connecting frame A is connected to the lower end of the screw slide through a floating joint A.

[0015] Furthermore, the sheet rubber shifting mechanism includes a base D that can move along the frame, a linear bearing B and a linear guide B that cooperates with the linear bearing B are installed on one side of the base D through a bracket, a connecting plate is provided at the lower end of the linear guide B, a connecting frame B is installed at the bottom of the connecting plate, and a shift suction cup is installed at the bottom of the connecting frame B.

[0027] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present invention, the following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this patent, other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this patent.

[0028] The utility model discloses a new type of sheet material gluing machine, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a sheet glue placing mechanism 2, a sheet glue positioning mechanism 3, a sheet glue shifting mechanism 4 and a glue sticking mechanism 5. In one example, the sheet glue placing mechanism 2 is used to store and place the sheet glue. When the device is working, the sheet glue shifting mechanism 4 absorbs the sheet glue at the sheet glue placing mechanism 2 and transports it to the sheet glue positioning mechanism 3 for positioning and tearing the glue. Then the sheet glue is absorbed by the sheet glue shifting mechanism 4 again and finally transported to the glue sticking mechanism 5 for glue sticking operation.

[0029] In this embodiment, the new sheet material gluing machine further includes a cell positioning mechanism 6 for positioning the cell. Figure 2 As shown, the cell positioning mechanism 6 includes a base A7, and both ends of the base A7 are fixed to the frame 1 by bolts. A slide cylinder 8 is installed on the base A7, and a bottom plate 9 is installed on the slide cylinder 8. Multiple groups of clamps 10 are installed on the bottom plate 9, and each group of clamps 10 is driven by pneumatic fingers.

[0030] The two ends of the base A7 are fixed to the frame 1 of the equipment by bolts, which can make it have high stability. Since the slide cylinder 8 is installed on the base A7, the bottom plate 9 can move forward and backward within a certain range relative to the base A7 under the action of the slide cylinder 8, and the clamping claw 10 on the bottom plate 9 also moves forward and backward accordingly. Since the clamping claw 10 is also driven by pneumatic fingers, it can realize the positioning of the battery cell. It lays the foundation for the subsequent glue sticking operation and is conducive to improving the accuracy of glue sticking.

[0031] In addition, waist holes are provided at both ends of the base A7, and bolts are passed through the waist holes and fixed to the rack 1 of the equipment. After the base A7 is installed, the position of the base A7 can be fine-tuned through the waist holes to ensure that the base A7 is accurately aligned with the rack 1. In this way, during the gluing operation, the battery cell can be accurately and quickly positioned in the correct position.

[0032] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the sheet material gluing machine also includes a battery cell presence detection mechanism 11, which includes a support seat 12, which is fixed to the frame 1, and a pillar 13 is fixed above the support seat 12, and a clamping block 14 is installed on the upper end of the pillar 13, and a through-beam sensor 15 is installed on the clamping block 14. The presence or absence of a battery cell can be determined by the through-beam sensor 15 in the battery cell presence detection mechanism 11. If the presence of a battery cell is detected, the gluing operation is performed; if the battery cell is not detected, the gluing operation is not performed to avoid empty operations. In this way, production waste caused by the lack of battery cells can be effectively avoided, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the sheet adhesive placement mechanism 2 and the sheet adhesive positioning mechanism 3 are located on the side of the frame 1 away from the adhesive laminating mechanism 5. The sheet adhesive placement mechanism 2 is used to place and store the sheet adhesive, and the sheet adhesive positioning mechanism 3 is used to position the sheet adhesive. When the equipment is in operation, the sheet adhesive stored in the sheet adhesive placement mechanism 2 is sucked by the sheet adhesive shifting mechanism 4 and then moved to the sheet adhesive positioning mechanism 3 for positioning.

[0034] In this embodiment, the new sheet material gluing machine further includes a glue tearing mechanism 16, which is located on one side of the sheet material positioning mechanism 3. The sheet material can be torn apart by the glue tearing mechanism 16 to meet the gluing requirements. Figure 4 As shown, the glue tearing mechanism 16 includes a base B17, on which a slide rail 18 is horizontally arranged, and a slider 19 cooperating with the slide rail 18 is installed on one side of the slide rail 18, and a pneumatic finger is installed on the slider 19; a cylinder is also fixed on the base B17, and the extended end of the cylinder is connected to the slider 19. In this way, when the pneumatic finger clamps the sheet of glue, the cylinder drives the pneumatic finger through linear motion to tear the sheet of glue to meet the glue sticking requirements.

[0035] Figure 5 is a structural diagram of the glue sticking mechanism 5, combined with Figure 1 , Figure 5As shown, the glue sticking mechanism 5 is located above the battery cell positioning mechanism 6. Specifically, the glue sticking mechanism 5 includes a base C20, on which a screw slide 21 is installed, and a linear bearing A22 is installed at the bottom of the screw slide 21. The linear bearing A22 is matched with a guide column A23, and the lower end of the guide column A23 is connected to a connecting frame A24, and a glue sticking suction cup 25 is installed below the connecting frame A24. Therefore, using the base C20 as a support, the screw slide 21 as a power source, and the linear bearing A22 and the guide column A23 cooperate, the glue sticking mechanism 5 can move accurately in the vertical direction, thereby realizing the glue sticking function. Among them, the glue sticking suction cup 25 can accurately absorb the sheet glue, and the cooperation of the linear bearing A22 and the guide column A23 ensures the stability and accuracy of the glue sticking mechanism 5 during the movement process.

[0036] Preferably, the connecting frame A24 is connected to the lower end of the screw slide 21 through a floating joint A. This not only ensures the effect of gluing, but also helps to extend the service life of the equipment.

[0037] Figure 6 is a structural diagram of the sheet rubber shifting mechanism 4, combined with Figure 1 , Figure 6 As shown, the sheet rubber displacement mechanism 4 includes a base D26, one end of which is connected to a driving mechanism, and under the action of the driving mechanism, the sheet rubber displacement mechanism 4 can move relative to the frame 1. On the other hand, a linear bearing B27 and a linear guide B28 matched with the linear bearing B27 are installed on one side of the base D26 through a bracket, and a connecting plate is provided at the lower end of the linear guide B28, a connecting frame B29 is installed at the bottom of the connecting plate, and a displacement suction cup is installed on the bottom surface of the connecting frame B29.

[0038] The rubber sheet can be taken out from the rubber sheet placement mechanism 2 and moved to the rubber sheet positioning mechanism 3 through the rubber sheet shifting mechanism 4 for subsequent positioning and rubber sticking operations. Preferably, a telescopic cylinder is fixed on the bracket of the rubber sheet shifting mechanism 4, and the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder faces downward and is connected to the connecting plate at the lower end of the linear guide B28 through the floating joint B.
