[0054] Figure 3This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the battery module of some embodiments of the present application. In the battery device 100, there can be multiple battery cells 20, and the multiple battery cells 20 can be connected in series, in parallel, or in mixed connection.

[0055] Each battery cell 20 may be a secondary battery cell or a primary battery cell, or a lithium-sulfur battery cell, a sodium-ion battery cell, or a magnesium-ion battery cell, but is not limited thereto. The battery cell 20 may be cylindrical, flat, rectangular, or in other shapes.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the exploded structure of a battery cell provided in some embodiments of the present application. A battery cell 20 refers to the smallest unit constituting a battery. The battery cell 20 includes an end cap 21, a housing 22, an electrode assembly 23 and other functional components.

[0057] The end cap 21 refers to a component that covers the opening of the shell 22 to isolate the internal environment of the battery cell 20 from the external environment. Without limitation, the shape of the end cap 21 can be adapted to the shape of the shell 22 to match the shell 22. Optionally, the end cap 21 can be made of a material with a certain hardness and strength (such as aluminum alloy), so that the end cap 21 is not easily deformed when squeezed and collided, so that the battery cell 20 can have a higher structural strength and the safety performance can also be improved.

In some embodiments, an insulating member may be provided inside the end cap 21, and the insulating member may be used to isolate the electrical connection components in the housing 22 from the end cap 21 to reduce the risk of short circuit. For example, the insulating member may be plastic, rubber, or the like.

[0058] The tabs of the battery cell are generally electrically connected to the electrode terminals on the end caps through adapter components. When welding the adapter components to the tabs, they are generally taken out piece by piece from the feeding equipment and placed on the tabs of the battery cell. When taking out the adapter components, there may be problems such as the direction of the adapter components being placed in reverse, or there may be multiple pieces of adapter components piled up, or the positive and negative adapter components being mixed up, which reduces the assembly efficiency of the battery cell.

[0059] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a feeding device, which includes a detection device, a correction device and a control device. The detection device includes a first bracket and a collection camera connected to the first bracket; the correction device includes a first driving member and a rotating table connected to the first driving member, the first driving member is used to drive the rotating table to rotate, and the rotating table is used to place the adapter component; the control device is respectively communicated with the collection camera and the first driving member.

[0060] In the above scheme, the acquisition camera on the first bracket transmits the information of the adapter component on the rotating table to the control device. If the direction of the adapter component is reversed, the control device controls the first driving member to drive the rotating table to rotate, so that the adapter component is placed in the correct direction to facilitate welding with the pole ear, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the battery cell. At the same time, through the shooting of the acquisition camera, it is also possible to identify whether multiple adapter components on the rotating table are repeatedly stacked, or it is also possible to identify whether it is the required positive or negative adapter component based on the difference in material, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the battery cell.

[0061] Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the feeding equipment of some embodiments of the present application.

[0062] like Figure 5 As shown, in the first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a feeding device 500, the feeding device 500 includes a detection device 50, a correction device 60 and a control device (not shown in the figure), the detection device 50 includes a first bracket 51 and a collection camera 52 connected to the first bracket 51; the correction device 60 includes a first driving member 61 and a rotating table 62 connected to the first driving member 61, the first driving member 61 is used to drive the rotating table 62 to rotate, and the rotating table 62 is used to place the adapter component 24; the control device is respectively communicated with the collection camera 52 and the first driving member 61.

[0063] The feeding device 500 may include a base frame 53 , and the first bracket 51 and the detection device 50 may be fixed on the base frame 53 .

[0064] The acquisition camera 52 may be a machine vision camera, and the image projected onto the sensor through the lens is transmitted to a machine device that can store, analyze and (or) display. The first bracket 51 may be vertically extended, and the acquisition camera 52 is fixed to the upper end of the first bracket 51, with the lens facing the rotating platform 62 located below to photograph the adapter component 24 on the rotating platform 62.

[0065] The control device is a device used to receive data, process and analyze information, and perform corresponding control tasks. The control device may include an industrial computer, a programmable logic controller 200 (PLC), etc. An industrial computer can be used for complex image processing and analysis tasks, has strong processing capabilities, and can run various image processing software and algorithms. The programmable logic controller 200 is used for automated control and monitoring tasks, and is suitable for handling simple logic task control.

[0066] The image of the adapter component 24 can be captured by the acquisition camera 52, and compared with the pre-stored image of the correct direction to determine whether the adapter component 24 is placed upside down. The thickness of the adapter component 24 captured by the acquisition camera 52 can also be detected. If the thickness is abnormal, it indicates that multiple adapter components 24 overlap. In addition, the materials of the adapter component 24 welded to the positive electrode plate and the adapter component 24 welded to the negative electrode plate are different, and the reflection characteristics of the adapter components 24 of different materials are different under light. Therefore, the acquisition camera 52 can use a light source of a specific wavelength to determine the material of the adapter component 24 by analyzing the intensity and color of the reflected light, thereby determining whether the adapter component 24 is a positive or negative adapter component 24. Or some materials may have a specific color or gloss, and different materials can also be distinguished by color analysis.

[0067] The first driving member 61 may be a driving member such as a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or a motor, and is controlled by a programmable logic controller 200 .

[0068] After the acquisition camera 52 transmits the photographed adapter component 24 on the rotating table 62 to the control device, the control device analyzes the acquired image. If there is no abnormality in the adapter component 24, such as the direction is correct, there is only one adapter component 24, there are no multiple pieces stacked, or the material is correct, the adapter component 24 can be moved to the welding station. If the direction of the adapter component 24 is reversed, the direction of the adapter component 24 needs to be adjusted, and the first driving member 61 drives the rotating table 62 to rotate.

[0069] In the above scheme, the acquisition camera 52 on the first bracket 51 transmits the information of the adapter component 24 on the rotating table 62 to the control device. If the direction of the adapter component 24 is reversed, the control device controls the first driving member 61 to drive the rotating table 62 to rotate, so that the adapter component 24 is placed in the correct direction to facilitate welding with the tab, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the battery cell 20. At the same time, through the shooting of the acquisition camera 52, it is also possible to identify whether multiple adapter components 24 on the rotating table 62 are repeatedly stacked, or it is also possible to identify whether it is the required positive or negative adapter component 24 based on the difference in material, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the battery cell 20.

[0070] In some embodiments, the feeding equipment 500 also includes a feeding device 70, which includes a feeding receiving assembly 71 and a feeding driving assembly 72. The feeding receiving assembly 71 is used to accommodate multiple adapter components 24 arranged in sequence along the first direction; the feeding driving assembly 72 includes a second driving member 721 and a pushing rod 722 connected to the second driving member 721, the second driving member 721 is communicatively connected to the control device, and the second driving member 721 is used to drive the pushing rod 722 to move along the first direction to push the adapter component 24.

[0071] The second driving member 721 may be a driving member such as a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or a motor, and is controlled by the programmable logic controller 200. The first direction may be the height direction of the feeding and receiving assembly. The push rod 722 is located at the bottom of the feeding and receiving assembly 71. When the uppermost catch component is removed, the second driving member 721 drives the push rod 722 to move upward, and all the adapter components 24 are moved upward.

[0072] In the above scheme, when the adapter component 24 above the feeding and receiving assembly 71 is removed, the second driving member 721 can drive the push rod 722 to move in the first direction, push the adapter component 24 to move, realize automatic feeding, and further improve the assembly efficiency of the battery cell 20.

[0073] Figure 6 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the feeding system of some embodiments of the present application.

[0074] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the feeding equipment 500 also includes a feeding device 80, and the feeding device 80 includes a feeding receiving assembly 81 and a feeding driving assembly 82. The feeding receiving assembly 81 is used to accommodate a plurality of adapter components 24 arranged in sequence along a first direction; the feeding driving assembly 82 is used to drive the feeding receiving assembly 81 to move along a second direction so that the feeding receiving assembly 81 is close to the feeding device 70; wherein the second direction is arranged to intersect with the first direction.

[0075] The structure of the material replenishment receiving assembly 81 may be the same as that of the material supply receiving assembly 71. The material replenishment driving assembly 82 may include a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or a motor.

[0076] In the above scheme, if the adapter component 24 of the feeding and receiving assembly 71 is used up, the replenishing driving assembly 82 can drive the replenishing and receiving assembly 81 to move along the second direction and approach the feeding device 70, so as to facilitate the replacement of the feeding and receiving assembly 71 by the replenishing and receiving assembly 81 to continue replenishing the material, thereby shortening the time of stopping the feeding in the middle.

[0077] Figure 7 yes Figure 6 A magnified schematic diagram of part A.

[0078] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the detection device 50 also includes a second bracket 54 and an in-place sensor 55, the in-place sensor 55 is arranged on the second bracket 54, and the in-place sensor 55 and the push rod 722 are respectively located at opposite ends of the feeding and receiving assembly 71 along the second direction.

[0079] The second bracket 54 can be arranged to extend vertically, and the in-position sensor 55 can include a transmitting end and a receiving end, wherein the transmitting end is fixed at the upper end of one of the second brackets 54, and the receiving end is fixed at the upper end of the other second bracket 54. The light beam is reflected by the transmitting end and received by the receiving end. If the light beam is blocked or reflected by the adapter component 24 at the uppermost end of the feeding and receiving assembly 71, the signal at the receiving end will change. If the in-position sensor 55 detects the adapter component 24, the adapter component 24 can be moved to the rotating table 62 of the correction device 60 by the manipulator device 90.

[0080] In the above solution, when the second driving member 721 drives the pushing rod 722 to push the adapter component 24 to move along the first direction, the in-position sensor 55 can detect that the adapter component 24 has arrived, so as to facilitate moving the adapter component 24 to the correction device 60.
