Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of battery manufacturing, in particular to a battery lower bin packaging detection device. Background Art

[0002] With the widespread application of secondary batteries, the quality and safety issues of secondary batteries are also receiving increasing attention. In order to strengthen the supervision and traceability of secondary battery production, secondary battery manufacturers generally use QR codes to identify them. By scanning the QR code on the battery, the production process parameters and results of the battery can be obtained. During the battery packaging process, the performance indicators of each battery are also obtained by scanning the QR code, and batteries with the same performance level are packaged together. At the same time, there are some metal parts inside the secondary battery, which are easily oxidized or corroded in a humid environment, thereby affecting the performance or life of the battery. Therefore, desiccant is usually placed in the battery packaging box to absorb the moisture in the battery, keep the battery dry, and avoid it from being exposed to a humid environment and suffering from oxidation or corrosion.

[0003] In the existing new energy production lines, in the process of obtaining the battery QR code, manpower is still mainly needed to sample the QR code on the battery. This is not only inefficient and has many unstable factors, but also unable to check the situation inside the packaging box, resulting in frequent situations such as batteries being placed upside down, no desiccant in the packaging box, and the presence of foreign matter. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present application provides a battery lower bin packaging inspection device, which can solve the problems existing in the prior art of low production efficiency caused by manual collection of battery QR code information, and inability to further inspect the packing status in the packaging box after the battery is packed.

[0006] A fixing assembly, the fixing assembly comprising a workbench and a supporting mechanism located at the bottom of the workbench and extending horizontally outside the workbench for positioning the tray;

[0007] The detection component includes a lifting mechanism connected to one side of the workbench, and a detection mechanism located above the supporting mechanism and dispatched by the lifting mechanism to identify the identification and packing status of the batteries on the tray.

[0008] In one embodiment, a push-pull rod is provided on a side of the workbench facing away from the supporting mechanism and casters are provided on the bottom of the workbench.

[0009] In one embodiment, the workbench is provided with an operating area for placing a control computer.

[0010] In one embodiment, the supporting mechanism includes two forks arranged opposite to each other, one end of the forks is connected to the workbench, and the other end of the forks extends horizontally out of the workbench.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] The embodiment of the present application provides a battery lower bin packaging inspection device, which can solve the problems in the prior art of low production efficiency caused by manual collection of battery QR code information and inability to further inspect the packing status in the packaging box after the battery is packed.

[0027] Figure 1 This is a left view of a battery lower compartment packaging inspection device provided by the present application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the battery lower warehouse packaging detection equipment includes a fixed component and a detection component. The fixed component includes a workbench 1 and a supporting mechanism 2 located at the bottom of the workbench 1 and extending outside the workbench 1 for positioning the pallet; the detection component includes a lifting mechanism 3 connected to one side of the workbench 1, and a detection mechanism 4 located above the supporting mechanism 2 and dispatched by the lifting mechanism 3 for identifying the identification and packing status of the batteries on the pallet.

[0028] The workbench 1 is the carrier of the entire battery lower warehouse packaging and testing equipment. The supporting mechanism 2 arranged at the bottom of the workbench 1 is used to place a tray. The battery is placed on the tray, which can quickly locate the battery placement position and reduce the error of the detection result caused by the battery position offset. The detection mechanism 4 is connected to the lifting mechanism 3 and accepts the lifting and lowering scheduling of the lifting mechanism 3 to realize the lifting function of the detection mechanism 4, and the detection end of the detection mechanism 4 faces the supporting mechanism 2.

[0029] Since the monitoring range covered by the detection mechanism 4 is limited, it may not be possible to quickly identify batteries with smaller volume or lower height. Therefore, in the present application, the cooperation between the lifting mechanism 3 and the detection mechanism 4 can correspond to the height of the battery placed on the support mechanism 2, so that the battery and the detection mechanism 4 are always maintained at the optimal distance to ensure the most accurate recognition results and recognition speed.

[0030] Furthermore, a push-pull rod 101 is provided on the side of the workbench 1 facing away from the supporting mechanism 2 and a caster 102 is provided at the bottom of the workbench 1. The supporting mechanism 2 and the detecting mechanism 4 are provided on one side of the workbench 1, and a push-pull rod 101 is provided on the other side opposite to the workbench 1. In conjunction with the casters 102 provided at the bottom of the workbench 1, the entire battery lower warehouse packaging and detecting equipment is in a flexible and movable state, thereby improving the convenience of using the equipment, realizing one machine with multiple stations and operations at different sites, and invisibly reducing the production cost. The casters 102 may be one-way wheels or universal wheels, and there is no specific restriction in the present application. At the same time, the casters 102 are commonly used components on the market, and will not be elaborated on here. Furthermore, in order to ensure the stable standing and normal pushing of the workbench 1, there are four casters 102, and the four casters 102 are respectively provided at the bottom of the four top corners of the bottom of the workbench 1. In one embodiment of the present application, the casters 102 are braked, which effectively prevents the workbench 1 from sliding when placing batteries.

[0031] Further, see Figure 4 The workbench 1 is provided with an operation place 103 for placing a control computer. The computer operation place 103 is mainly used to facilitate the staff to operate the lifting height of the detection mechanism 4 and view the detection results of the battery. It can be directly set on the workbench 1 body or on the side of the workbench 1. In the application, there is no specific restriction on the setting form and setting orientation of the operation place 103, as long as it does not affect the normal detection work of the battery lower warehouse packaging detection equipment. In one embodiment of the present application, a touch screen is added to the workbench 1. The touch screen displays the parameters, points and other information of the battery, which can also reduce the difficulty of operation, reduce the operation process, and facilitate the use of detection personnel.

[0032] Further, see Figure 2The supporting mechanism 2 includes two forks 201 arranged opposite to each other, and one end of the two forks 201 is connected to the workbench 1. It should be noted that the connection here can be a fixed connection or a detachable connection. The other ends of the two forks 201 extend horizontally out of the workbench 1. The forks 201 can adopt the commonly used forms on the market. In one embodiment of the present application, the fork 201 is L-shaped, which includes a vertical section and a horizontal section. The vertical section is fixedly connected to the workbench 1, and the horizontal section extends out of the workbench 1 as a working part for forking pallets and batteries. In order to prevent the forks 201 from hindering the movement of the workbench 1, the horizontal section in the fork 201 is spaced a certain distance from the ground, and the distance between the two is equal to the height of the caster 102.

[0033] Furthermore, in the present application, the fork 201 can not only be used to lift the battery, but also be used to support the workbench 1. The part of the fork 201 extending out of the workbench 1 can prevent the workbench 1 from tilting toward the battery due to the weight of the battery after the battery is placed on the fork 201. In one embodiment of the present application, in order to prevent the workbench 1 from tipping over and at the same time prevent the fork 201 from hindering the pushing of the workbench 1, casters 102 are also provided at the bottom of the horizontal section of the two forks 201 away from the workbench 1.

[0034] Further, see Figure 3 The lifting mechanism 3 includes a fixed end 301 vertically arranged on one side of the workbench 1 and a movable end 302 that can move up and down along the fixed end 301. The fixed end 301 is fixedly arranged on the workbench 1 and serves as a moving track and power source for the movable end 302. Its internal structure includes but is not limited to a control unit, a drive unit, etc. This servo module is a commonly used technology in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0035] Furthermore, the detection mechanism 4 includes a scanning frame 401 connected to the movable end 302 and extending horizontally out of the workbench 1, that is, the scanning frame 401 is connected to the movable end 302 and has an "L"-shaped cross-section. When the movable end 302 moves vertically along the fixed end 301, the scanning frame 401 is driven to move simultaneously.

[0036] Furthermore, a plurality of diagonal support rods 402 are provided at the bottom of the scanning frame 401, and one end of the diagonal support rod 402 away from the scanning frame 401 is connected to the mobile end 302. The diagonal support rod 402 diagonally connects the scanning frame 401 and the mobile end 302, and can provide an oblique supporting force to the scanning frame 401 and the mobile end 302, thereby preventing the end of the scanning frame 401 away from the mobile end 302 from collapsing due to the effect of gravity for a long time, thereby affecting the scanning effect.

[0037] Further, see Figure 4The scanning frame 401 is a frame body that is frame-shaped when viewed from above, and a plurality of horizontal or vertical connecting rods 404 are arranged in the middle of the scanning frame 401, and the plurality of connecting rods 404 are arranged at equal distances.

[0038] Furthermore, a fill light 5 is provided on the top of the scanning frame 401. Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present application, the fill light 5 is a reflector with the reflective surface facing the battery, which can effectively reflect the light at the scanning location, improve the scanning brightness, and reduce scanning errors. In another embodiment of the present application, the fill light 5 is a light-emitting body, which includes but is not limited to light bulbs, light strips and other components. Regardless of the structure of the fill light 5, as long as it can improve the light at the battery, its specific setting type is not specifically limited in the present application.

[0039] Furthermore, the detection mechanism 4 also includes a plurality of scanning cameras 403 with scanning ports facing the support mechanism 2 and the scanning cameras 403 are arranged at the bottom of the scanning frame 401. The scanning cameras 403 are used to scan and detect the batteries, are electrically connected to the computer at the operation place 103, and send the scanning results to the computer for the convenience of the staff to view. The number of scanning cameras 403 depends on the size of the batteries. Specifically, a plurality of scanning cameras 403 are evenly arranged on a plurality of connecting rods 404 for accurately and comprehensively scanning and inspecting the battery QR code and the packaging and installation status. In one embodiment of the present application, there are four connecting rods 404, and three scanning cameras 403 are equidistantly arranged along the length direction of each connecting rod 404.

[0040] The liftable detection mechanism 4 in the battery lower bin packaging detection equipment provided in the present application can flexibly adjust its own height according to the height of batteries of various sizes, so that the distance between it and the battery is always maintained within the scanning range of the detection mechanism 4, thereby improving the scanning accuracy and reducing the instability of manual operation. The integration of multiple scanning cameras 403 greatly increases the detection field of view, and realizes compatibility with different placement arrangements of multiple products. At the same time, the placement and installation of the battery can be checked to avoid situations such as the battery being placed upside down, the battery not having desiccant, the presence of foreign matter, etc., thereby reducing the risk of rework and improving work efficiency. At the same time, the workbench 1 is configured to be movable, which improves the convenience of using the equipment, reduces the cost of the equipment, and realizes multi-station and different site operations.
