Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of solar cells, in particular to a cell sheet printing device and a cell sheet processing system. Background Art

[0002] In the process of manufacturing solar cells, various factors may cause the cell to have broken edges, missing corners or abnormal film color. At this time, in the subsequent screen printing process, the cell with the above problems will be identified by the printer and will not be printed.

[0003] Specifically, after a plurality of cells to be printed pass through the printer, the cells with problems are not printed and continue to be transported backward by the conveyor belt. During the backward transport process by the conveyor belt, the staff needs to remove the cells that have not been printed from the conveyor belt.

[0004] However, during the manual film removal process, the printing production line needs to be suspended, which will cause production capacity loss and reduce processing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a cell printing device and a cell processing system, which are used for taking away unprinted cells without pausing the printing production line, so as to improve the processing efficiency.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, in the first aspect, the utility model provides a battery cell printing device. The battery cell printing device includes a printing mechanism, a transmission mechanism, a lifting mechanism and a removal mechanism. The printing mechanism is used to print battery cells, and the transmission mechanism is located on one side of the printing mechanism, and is used to transmit printed battery cells and problematic battery cells. Problem battery cells are battery cells that have passed through the printing mechanism but have not been printed. The lifting mechanism has a first position state and a second position state relative to the transmission mechanism. In the first position state, the lifting surface of the lifting mechanism is lower than the transmission surface of the transmission mechanism. In the second position state, the lifting surface of the lifting mechanism is higher than the printed battery cells located on the transmission surface of the transmission mechanism, and the transmission mechanism can transmit the printed battery cells at the same time. The lifting mechanism is used to lift the problematic battery cells located on the transmission mechanism. The removal mechanism is used to remove the problematic battery cells located on the lifting mechanism.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, in the cell printing device provided by the utility model, since the lifting surface of the lifting mechanism is lower than the transmission surface of the transmission mechanism in the first position state. At this time, it can not only ensure that the transmission mechanism can normally transmit the printed cell and the problem cell. At the same time, the problem cell can be transmitted to the top of the lifting mechanism or other areas that can be lifted by the transmission mechanism to prepare for the subsequent lifting operation. Further, since the lifting surface of the lifting mechanism is higher than the printed cell located on the transmission surface of the transmission mechanism in the second position state, and the transmission mechanism can transmit the printed cell, the lifting mechanism is used to lift the problem cell located on the transmission mechanism. Further, the removal mechanism is used to remove the problem cell located on the lifting mechanism. At this time, under the cooperation of the lifting mechanism and the removal mechanism, the problem cell is lifted by the lifting mechanism to move away from the transmission mechanism. Then, the removal mechanism removes the problem cell located on the lifting mechanism. Under the joint action of the above-mentioned transmission mechanism, lifting mechanism and removal mechanism, there is no need to suspend the printing production line when removing the problem cell, and each mechanism can be normal. Based on this, not only can the production capacity be ensured and the processing efficiency be improved, but also the number of staff involved can be reduced or no staff participation is required, so as to reduce or eliminate the probability of staff being accidentally injured by the equipment on the printing production line during the film removal process, ensure the safety of the staff, and reduce labor costs.

[0008] In one implementation, the cell printing device further includes: a first controller, which is electrically and / or communicatively connected to the printing mechanism and the lifting mechanism, respectively. The first controller is used to obtain the problem cell information transmitted by the printing mechanism, and control the lifting mechanism according to the problem cell information to lift the problem cell from the first position to the second position.

[0009] When the above technical solution is adopted, the first controller can acquire and transmit various information in real time to control the lifting mechanism to lift the problematic battery cell from the first position to the second position. In this case, not only can the processing efficiency be further improved, but also the number of workers involved can be further reduced or no workers are required to participate, so as to ensure the safety of the workers and reduce labor costs.

[0010] In one implementation, the cell printing device further includes: a first controller, the first controller being electrically and / or communicatively connected to the removal mechanism. The first controller is used to control the removal mechanism to remove the problematic cell located on the lifting mechanism when the problematic cell is determined to be located within the removal range of the removal mechanism according to the lifting information of the lifting mechanism.

[0011] When the above technical solution is adopted, the first controller can be used to obtain and transmit a variety of information in real time to control the removal mechanism to remove the problematic battery cells located on the lifting mechanism. At this time, not only can the processing efficiency be further improved, but also the number of participating staff can be further reduced or the participation of staff is not required to ensure the safety of staff and reduce labor costs. Further, with the cooperation of the first controller and the removal mechanism, the removal mechanism can remove the problematic battery cells in time. At this time, it can not only avoid the problem battery cells located on the lifting mechanism being subjected to mechanical vibrations during the transmission process and falling onto the transmission mechanism, causing carding or blockage. At the same time, it can also avoid two or more consecutive problematic battery cells from being blocked on the transmission mechanism to avoid equipment shutdown. Based on this, the continuity of printing can be ensured to ensure the yield and production capacity, improve the utilization rate, and avoid equipment shutdown.

[0012] In one implementation, the lifting mechanism includes: a driving assembly and two lifting assemblies. Along a transmission direction perpendicular to the transmission mechanism, the two lifting assemblies are arranged opposite to and spaced apart on both sides of the transmission mechanism. The lifting assemblies have lifting surfaces, and the spacing between the lifting surfaces of the two lifting assemblies is greater than the maximum width of the transmission mechanism. At this time, the transmission mechanism can be ensured to work normally, so as to ensure the continuity of the process of printing the battery sheet and avoid pausing the printing production line.

[0013] An accommodation space is formed between the two lifting assemblies, and the transmission mechanism carrying the printed battery cell can pass through the accommodation space. At this time, it can be ensured that no matter whether the lifting mechanism is in the first position state or the second position state, the transmission mechanism can normally and smoothly transmit the printed battery cell. In particular, when the lifting mechanism is in the second position state, the transmission mechanism can smoothly transmit the printed battery cell to ensure the continuity of the printing battery cell process and avoid suspending the printing production line.

[0014] The driving assembly is arranged on the two lifting assemblies to drive the two lifting assemblies to rise or fall synchronously. At this time, it can further ensure that the lifting assemblies can stably lift the problematic battery cells.

[0015] In one implementation, the distance between the lifting surfaces of the two lifting assemblies is less than or equal to the minimum width of the problematic battery cell, so that the lifting assemblies can stably lift the problematic battery cell.

[0016] In one implementation, the lifting assembly includes: a lifting member and a connecting member. The lifting member is parallel to the problematic battery cell, and the lifting member has a lifting surface. One end of the connecting member is connected to the lifting member, and the other end of the connecting member is drivingly connected to the driving assembly, and a receiving space is formed between the two connecting members included in the two lifting assemblies.

[0017] When the above technical solution is adopted, the above-mentioned lifting assembly has a simple structure, is easy to operate, is convenient for workers to assemble, and saves working time.

[0018] In one implementation, the removal mechanism includes: a moving component and a suction cup. The suction cup is disposed at one end of the moving component and is used to absorb the problematic battery cell located on the lifting mechanism.

[0019] In one implementation, the removal mechanism is a robot arm for grabbing the problematic battery cell on the lifting mechanism.

[0020] As can be seen from the foregoing description, the above-mentioned removing mechanism can be selected according to actual conditions. In this case, the removing mechanism can be adapted to different application scenarios to expand the application scope of the removing mechanism.

[0021] In one implementation, the above-mentioned cell printing device further includes: a collection box. The collection box is located on one side of the lifting mechanism and is used to collect the problematic cells removed by the removal mechanism.

[0022] When the above technical solution is adopted, multiple problematic battery cells are placed in a collection box to facilitate subsequent unified processing, thereby avoiding injuries to workers due to random placement of problematic battery cells.

[0023] In one implementation, the cell printing device further includes a drying mechanism. The drying mechanism is located on one side of the lifting mechanism along the transmission direction of the transmission mechanism and is used to dry the printed cell transferred by the transmission mechanism.

[0024] In a second aspect, the utility model further provides a battery cell processing system, which includes a battery cell and the battery cell printing device described in the above technical solution.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, since the cell processing system provided by the utility model includes the cell printing device described in the above technical solution, the cell processing system can achieve the effect achieved by the cell printing device. Specifically, since the lifting surface of the lifting mechanism is lower than the transmission surface of the transmission mechanism in the first position state. At this time, it can not only ensure that the transmission mechanism can normally transmit the printed cell and the problem cell. At the same time, the problem cell can be transmitted to the top of the lifting mechanism or other areas that can be lifted by the transmission mechanism to prepare for the subsequent lifting operation. Further, since the lifting surface of the lifting mechanism is higher than the printed cell located on the transmission surface of the transmission mechanism in the second position state, and the transmission mechanism can transmit the printed cell, the lifting mechanism is used to lift the problem cell located on the transmission mechanism. Further, the removal mechanism is used to remove the problem cell located on the lifting mechanism. At this time, under the cooperation of the lifting mechanism and the removal mechanism, the problem cell is lifted by the lifting mechanism to move away from the transmission mechanism. Then, the removal mechanism removes the problem cell located on the lifting mechanism. Under the joint action of the above-mentioned transmission mechanism, lifting mechanism and removal mechanism, there is no need to suspend the printing production line when removing the problematic battery cell, and all mechanisms can operate normally. Based on this, it can not only ensure production capacity and improve processing efficiency. At the same time, it can also reduce the number of participating staff or eliminate the need for staff participation, so as to reduce or eliminate the probability of staff being accidentally injured by equipment on the printing production line during the process of taking the cell, ensure the safety of staff, and reduce labor costs.

[0042] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0043] In order to solve the above technical problems, in the first aspect, the present utility model provides a battery cell printing device. Figures 1 to 3 The cell printing device comprises a printing mechanism 1, a transmission mechanism 2, a lifting mechanism 3 and a removal mechanism 4. The printing mechanism 1 is used to print the cells. The transmission mechanism 2 is located on one side of the printing mechanism 1 and is used to transfer the printed cells 5 and the problem cells 6. The problem cells are cells that have passed through the printing mechanism but have not been printed. The lifting mechanism 3 has a first position state and a second position state relative to the transmission mechanism 2. Figure 4 In the first position state, the lifting surface of the lifting mechanism 3 is lower than the transmission surface of the transmission mechanism 2. Figure 5 In the second position state, the lifting surface of the lifting mechanism 3 is higher than the printed battery sheet 5 located on the transmission surface of the transmission mechanism, and the transmission mechanism 2 can transmit the printed battery sheet 5. The lifting mechanism 3 is used to lift the problematic battery sheet 6 located on the transmission mechanism 2. In other words, the lifting surface of the lifting mechanism 3 is spaced apart from the printed battery sheet 5 located on the transmission surface of the transmission mechanism, and the transmission mechanism 2 can normally transmit the printed battery sheet 5, and the transmission mechanism is not affected by the lifting mechanism. The removal mechanism 4 is used to remove the problematic battery sheet 6 located on the lifting mechanism 3. It should be understood that the above-mentioned battery sheet can be a TOPcon battery or a BC battery or other types of batteries, which are not specifically limited here.

[0044] See also Figures 1 to 5In the cell printing device provided by the embodiment of the utility model, since the lifting surface of the lifting mechanism 3 is lower than the transmission surface of the transmission mechanism 2 in the first position state. At this time, it can not only ensure that the transmission mechanism 2 can normally transmit the printed cell 5 and the problem cell 6. At the same time, the problem cell 6 can be transmitted to the top of the lifting mechanism 3 or other areas that can be lifted by the transmission mechanism 2, so as to prepare for the subsequent lifting operation. Further, since the lifting surface of the lifting mechanism 3 is higher than the printed cell 5 located on the transmission surface of the transmission mechanism 2 in the second position state, and the transmission mechanism can transmit the printed cell, the lifting mechanism 3 is used to lift the problem cell 6 located on the transmission mechanism 2. Further, the removal mechanism 4 is used to remove the problem cell 6 located on the lifting mechanism 3. At this time, under the cooperation of the lifting mechanism 3 and the removal mechanism 4, the problem cell 6 is lifted by the lifting mechanism 3 to move away from the transmission mechanism 2. Then, the removal mechanism 4 removes the problem cell 6 located on the lifting mechanism 3. Under the joint action of the above-mentioned transmission mechanism 2, lifting mechanism 3 and removal mechanism 4, there is no need to suspend the printing production line when removing the problematic battery cell 6, and each mechanism can operate normally. Based on this, it can not only ensure production capacity and improve processing efficiency. At the same time, it can also reduce the number of participating staff or eliminate the need for staff participation, so as to reduce or eliminate the probability of staff being accidentally injured by equipment on the printing production line during the process of taking the cell, ensure the safety of staff, and reduce labor costs.

[0045] Specifically, when the printing production line is printing normally, the proportion of problematic battery cells is 0.5%, 0.88 CT time, and 90% utilization rate. The printing production line can reduce manual cell handling by 5,000 to 7,000 times per day, saving labor costs and making the printing production line coherent.

[0046] As a possible implementation manner, the printing mechanism may be a printing press in the prior art.

[0047] As a possible implementation, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The transmission mechanism 2 can be a transmission belt 20 in the prior art, or other structures that can be used for transmission. For example, in the embodiment of the utility model, the transmission mechanism 2 includes two parallel transmission belts 20. At this time, the width W of the transmission mechanism 2 is equal to the sum of the widths of the two transmission belts 20 plus the spacing between the two transmission belts 20.

[0048] As a possible implementation, the above-mentioned cell printing device further includes: a first controller ( Figures 1 to 5The first controller is electrically and / or communicatively connected to the printing mechanism and the lifting mechanism, respectively. The first controller is used to obtain the problem battery cell information transmitted by the printing mechanism, and control the lifting mechanism to lift the problem battery cell from the first position to the second position according to the problem battery cell information.

[0049] When the above technical solution is adopted, the first controller can be used to obtain and transmit various information in real time to control the lifting mechanism to lift the problematic battery cell from the first position to the second position. At this time, not only can the processing efficiency be further improved, but the number of participating workers can also be further reduced or the participation of workers is not required to ensure the safety of the workers and reduce labor costs. Exemplarily, the above first controller can be a PLC controller in the prior art.

[0050] In actual use, when multiple battery cells to be printed arrive at the printer, the detection device of the printer or the detection device close to the printer will detect the multiple battery cells to be printed in turn. If the detection device detects a problematic battery cell, it will pass the information to the first controller, and the problematic battery cell will not be printed later. That is, the first controller can obtain the problematic battery cell information transmitted by the printing mechanism. It should be understood that the problematic battery cells include: battery cells with broken edges, missing corners or abnormal film color. The problematic battery cell information includes the location information of the problematic battery cell, problem information, etc.

[0051] Next, the problematic battery cell and the printed battery cell are both transmitted from the printer to the next station through the transmission mechanism. During the transmission process, the first controller obtains the position information of the problematic battery cell in real time. For example, the first controller can locate and monitor the problematic battery cell to obtain the position information of the problematic battery cell. Alternatively, the first controller can be electrically connected and / or communicatively connected to the transmission mechanism to detect the transmission status of the transmission mechanism, thereby obtaining the position information of the problematic battery cell.

[0052] Next, when the first controller determines that the problematic battery cell is located in the lifting range of the lifting mechanism according to the position information of the problematic battery cell, the lifting mechanism is controlled to lift the problematic battery cell to lift the problematic battery cell from the first position to the second position.

[0053] As a possible implementation, the first controller may also be electrically connected or communicatively connected to the removal mechanism. In this case, the first controller is used to control the removal mechanism to remove the problematic battery cell located on the lifting mechanism when the problematic battery cell is determined to be located within the removal range of the removal mechanism according to the lifting information of the lifting mechanism.

[0054] When the above technical solution is adopted, the first controller can be used to obtain and transmit a variety of information in real time to control the removal mechanism to remove the problematic battery cells located on the lifting mechanism. At this time, not only can the processing efficiency be further improved, but also the number of participating staff can be further reduced or the participation of staff is not required to ensure the safety of staff and reduce labor costs. Further, with the cooperation of the first controller and the removal mechanism, the removal mechanism can remove the problematic battery cells in time. At this time, it can not only avoid the problem battery cells located on the lifting mechanism being subjected to mechanical vibrations during the transmission process and falling onto the transmission mechanism, causing carding or blockage. At the same time, it can also avoid two or more consecutive problematic battery cells from being blocked on the transmission mechanism to avoid equipment shutdown. Based on this, the continuity of printing can be ensured to ensure the yield and production capacity, improve the utilization rate, and avoid equipment shutdown.

[0055] As a possible implementation, see Figures 3 to 5 The lifting mechanism 3 includes: a driving assembly ( Figures 1 to 5 The transmission mechanism 2 is provided with a plurality of lifting assemblies (not shown) and two lifting assemblies 30. Along a transmission direction A perpendicular to the transmission mechanism 2, the two lifting assemblies 30 are arranged oppositely and spaced apart on both sides of the transmission mechanism 2. The lifting assemblies 30 have lifting surfaces, and the spacing L between the lifting surfaces of the two lifting assemblies 30 is greater than the maximum width of the transmission mechanism 2. At this time, the transmission mechanism 2 can be ensured to work normally, so as to ensure the continuity of the process of printing the solar cells and avoid suspending the printing production line.

[0056] An accommodating space 31 is formed between the two lifting assemblies 30, and the transmission mechanism 2 carrying the printed battery cell 5 can pass through the accommodating space 31. At this time, it can be ensured that no matter whether the lifting mechanism 3 is in the first position state or the second position state, the transmission mechanism 2 can normally and smoothly transmit the printed battery cell 5. In particular, when the lifting mechanism 3 is in the second position state, the transmission mechanism 2 can smoothly transmit the printed battery cell 5 to ensure the continuity of the battery cell printing process and avoid suspending the printing production line.

[0057] The driving assembly is arranged on the two lifting assemblies to drive the two lifting assemblies to rise or fall synchronously. At this time, it can ensure that the lifting assemblies can stably lift the problematic battery cells.

[0058] In an optional manner, the distance L between the lifting surfaces of the two lifting assemblies 30 is less than or equal to the minimum width of the problematic battery cell.

[0059] For example, when it is necessary to use a lifting assembly to lift a problematic cell, two lifting assemblies are lifted synchronously and then moved closer to each other, so that the spacing L between the lifting surfaces of the two lifting assemblies 30 is less than or equal to the minimum width of the problematic cell, thereby facilitating the lifting of the problematic cell by the lifting assembly. At this time, it can be ensured that the lifting assembly 30 stably lifts the problematic cell 6.

[0060] In an alternative approach, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The lifting assembly 30 includes: a lifting member 32 and a connecting member 33. The lifting member 32 is parallel to the problematic battery cell 6, and the lifting member 32 has a lifting surface. One end of the connecting member 33 is connected to the lifting member 32, and the other end of the connecting member 33 is drivingly connected to the driving assembly. An accommodating space 31 is formed between the two connecting members 33 included in the two lifting assemblies 30. The lifting assembly 30 has a simple structure, is easy to operate, is convenient for workers to assemble, and saves working time.

[0061] In the embodiment of the utility model, during the actual assembly, the distance between the two lifting members 32 included in the two lifting assemblies 30 is greater than the maximum width of the transmission mechanism 2, and less than or equal to the minimum width of the problematic battery cell 6. The portion of the connector 33 close to the lifting member 32 is used to form a receiving space 31, and the transmission mechanism 2 carrying the printed battery cell 5 can pass through the receiving space 31 normally.

[0062] In an optional manner, the above-mentioned driving component can be a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, etc.

[0063] The structures of the above-mentioned removal mechanism are various, and two possible implementation modes are described below as examples. It should be understood that the following description is only for understanding and is not used for specific limitation.

[0064] Example 1: See Figure 1 The removal mechanism 4 includes a moving component 40 and a suction cup 41. The suction cup 41 is disposed at one end of the moving component 40 and is used to absorb the problematic battery cell on the lifting mechanism. The moving component may be a mechanical arm, a robot, etc.

[0065] Example 2: The above-mentioned removal mechanism is a robot arm, which is used to grab the problematic battery cell located on the lifting mechanism.

[0066] As can be seen from the foregoing description, the above-mentioned removing mechanism can be selected according to actual conditions. In this case, the removing mechanism can be adapted to different application scenarios to expand the application scope of the removing mechanism.

[0067] As a possible implementation, see Figure 1 The above-mentioned cell printing device further includes: a collection box 7 . The collection box 7 is located on one side of the lifting mechanism 3 and is used to collect the problematic cells 6 removed by the removal mechanism 4 .

[0068] When the above technical solution is adopted, multiple problematic battery cells 6 are uniformly placed in a collection box 7 to facilitate subsequent unified processing, thereby avoiding injuries to workers due to random placement of problematic battery cells 6.

[0069] As a possible implementation, see Figure 1 The above-mentioned cell printing device further includes: a drying mechanism 8. Along the transmission direction of the transmission mechanism 2, the drying mechanism 8 is located on one side of the lifting mechanism 3, and is used to dry the printed cell 5 transmitted by the transmission mechanism 2. The above-mentioned drying mechanism 8 can be a drying machine in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0070] The following describes the use process of the battery cell printing equipment by taking a possible implementation as an example. It should be understood that the following description is only for understanding and is not intended to be a specific limitation.

[0071] See also Figures 1 to 5 When the multiple cells to be printed arrive at the printer, the detection device of the printer or the detection device near the printer will detect the multiple cells to be printed in sequence. If the detection device detects a cell with a problem, it will pass the information to the first controller, and the cell with a problem will directly pass through the printer but will not be printed.

[0072] Next, the problematic cell 6 and the printed cell 5 are both transported from the printer to the next station through the transport mechanism 2. During the transport process, the first controller obtains the position information of the problematic cell 6 in real time. Figure 4 The lifting surface of the lifting mechanism 3 is lower than the transmission surface of the transmission mechanism 2 to ensure that the transmission mechanism 2 can smoothly transmit the printed battery cell 5 and the problem battery cell 6.

[0073] Next, see Figure 5 When the first controller determines that the problematic cell 6 is located in the lifting range of the lifting mechanism 3 according to the position information of the problematic cell 6, the lifting mechanism 3 is controlled to lift the problematic cell 6 from the first position to the second position. Specifically, the lifting surface of the lifting mechanism 3 is higher than the printed cell 5 located on the transmission surface of the transmission mechanism, and the lifting mechanism 3 lifts the problematic cell 6 located on the transmission mechanism 2, while the transmission mechanism 2 normally transmits the printed cell 5. That is, the lifting mechanism 3 and the transmission mechanism 2 can work at the same time.

[0074] Next, when the first controller determines that the problematic battery cell 6 is within the removal range of the removal mechanism 4 based on the lifting information of the lifting mechanism 3, the first controller controls the removal mechanism 4 to remove the problematic battery cell 6 on the lifting mechanism 3, and controls the removal mechanism 4 to place the problematic battery cell 6 in the collection box 7. Since the problematic battery cell 6 on the lifting mechanism 3 has been removed, the lifting mechanism 3 is lowered to the initial position (i.e., the first position mentioned above) at this time, in preparation for lifting the problematic battery cell 6 again later. Furthermore, the above-mentioned printed battery cell 5 is transferred to the next station by the conveying mechanism 2. For example, the printed battery cell 5 is transferred to the drying mechanism 8 by the conveying mechanism 2.

[0075] In a second aspect, the embodiment of the utility model further provides a battery cell processing system. The battery cell processing system includes a battery cell and a battery cell printing device as described in the above technical solution. Exemplarily, the above battery cell includes a printed battery cell and a problem battery cell. Specifically, the printed battery cell is a battery cell that has been printed by a printer, and the problem battery cell is a battery cell that has passed through a printing mechanism but has not been printed.

[0076] Since the cell processing system provided by the embodiment of the utility model includes the cell printing device described in the above technical solution, the cell processing system can achieve the effect achieved by the cell printing device. Specifically, since the lifting surface of the lifting mechanism is lower than the transmission surface of the transmission mechanism in the first position state. At this time, it can not only ensure that the transmission mechanism can normally transmit the printed cell and the problem cell. At the same time, the problem cell can be transmitted to the top of the lifting mechanism or other areas that can be lifted by the transmission mechanism to prepare for the subsequent lifting operation. Further, since the lifting surface of the lifting mechanism is higher than the printed cell located on the transmission surface of the transmission mechanism in the second position state, and the transmission mechanism can transmit the printed cell, the lifting mechanism is used to lift the problem cell located on the transmission mechanism. Further, the removal mechanism is used to remove the problem cell located on the lifting mechanism. At this time, under the cooperation of the lifting mechanism and the removal mechanism, the problem cell is lifted by the lifting mechanism to move away from the transmission mechanism. Then, the removal mechanism removes the problem cell located on the lifting mechanism. Under the joint action of the above-mentioned transmission mechanism, lifting mechanism and removal mechanism, there is no need to suspend the printing production line when removing the problematic battery cell, and all mechanisms can operate normally. Based on this, it can not only ensure production capacity and improve processing efficiency.
