[0030] For example, please refer to FIG. 1, which is a schematic diagram of the structure of the unloading device provided in an embodiment of the present application. The unloading device of the present application can be used for the transfer of materials. For example, it can be used for the transportation of cells in the production process of solar cells, specifically, it can be used for the transfer of cells, and more specifically, it can be used for unloading cells from a PVD carrier.
[0031] 1 and 2 , the present application provides a material unloading device, including: a material moving mechanism 1, a transfer mechanism 2 and a material storage mechanism 3. The transfer mechanism 2 is used to transfer materials, the material moving mechanism 1 is used to transfer materials from the carrier plate to the transfer mechanism 2, the material moving mechanism 1 includes a detection member 12, and the detection member 12 is used to detect the morphology of the material. The material storage mechanism 3 is movably connected to the material moving mechanism 1, and the material storage mechanism 3 includes a box body 31 and a lifting member 32. The box body 31 is provided with a feed port 311 for the material to enter the interior thereof, and the lifting member 32 is connected to the box body 31 to control the box body 31 to move in the vertical direction, and the detection member 12 can transmit a signal to the lifting member 32 and control the lifting member 32.
[0032] When the above-mentioned unloading device unloads the material on the carrier, the material is transferred from the carrier to the transfer mechanism 2 through the material transfer mechanism 1. The material transfer mechanism 1 includes a detection member 12, which can detect the morphology of the material on the carrier. When unloading the battery cell, the detection member 12 can detect whether the battery cell is complete, and transmit the detection result to the lifting member 32. After the material is transferred to the transfer mechanism 2, it is transferred to the storage mechanism 3 through the transfer mechanism 2. When the detection result of the battery cell transferred to the storage mechanism 3 is complete, the storage mechanism 3 does not rise, and the battery cell continues to move forward driven by the transfer mechanism 2; when the detection result of the battery cell transferred to the storage mechanism 3 is incomplete, the lifting member 32 controls the box body 31 to rise, so that the feed port 311 opened on the box body 31 rises to the same height as the material, so that the incomplete battery cell passes through the feed port 311 and enters the box body 31. When the unloading device is used to unload the battery cells on the carrier, the battery cells can be identified and incomplete battery cells can be automatically collected into the box body 31 to prevent damaged battery cells from entering the subsequent process, thereby improving the production efficiency of the battery cells and reducing labor costs.
[0033] Referring again to FIG. 1 , illustratively, the Y direction in FIG. 1 is a vertical direction.
[0034] In some embodiments, the detection member 12 includes a camera.
[0035] In some embodiments, the material moving mechanism 1 further includes a material picking member 11, and the material picking member 11 is used for grabbing and releasing materials.
[0036] In some embodiments, the material picking member 11 includes a Bernoulli suction cup.
[0037] In some embodiments, there are multiple material picking parts 11 and detection parts 12, and each detection part 12 and each material picking part 11 form a group, and each group of detection parts 12 and material picking parts 11 corresponds to one material.
[0038] Multiple material picking parts 11 and detection parts 12 can detect and discharge multiple materials respectively. Each detection part 12 and each material picking part 11 form a group, and each group of detection parts 12 and material picking parts 11 corresponds to one material. Before the corresponding material is grabbed by the material picking part 11 of this group, the detection part 12 of this group will detect the morphology of the material, and then grab the material through the material picking part 11. After the material is transferred to the transfer mechanism 2, the material picking part 11 will release the material, and the detection part 12 will transmit the detection result of the material to the storage mechanism 3 to control the movement of the storage mechanism 3 when the material moves to the storage mechanism 3. It is convenient to perform automated operations on multiple materials.
[0039] In some of the embodiments, multiple groups of detection components 12 and material picking components 11 are distributed in an array.
[0040] It is understandable that the PVD carrier usually has array-distributed battery cell positions, and the multiple groups of detection components 12 and material removal components 11 distributed in the array facilitate the detection and transfer of the battery cells carried by the carrier piece by piece.
[0041] Referring again to Figure 1, in some embodiments, the transfer mechanism 2 includes two parallel and spaced conveyor belts, and the storage mechanism 3 is disposed in the space between the two conveyor belts. The feed port 311 is provided on the side wall of the box body 31 facing the feeding end of the conveyor belt.
[0042] The materials are transported by two parallel and spaced conveyor belts, so that the storage mechanism 3 is conveniently set in the interval between the two conveyor belts. When the materials near the storage mechanism 3 are complete materials, the upper surface of the box body 31 is controlled to be lower than the upper surface of the conveyor belt, so that the complete materials can pass directly. When the materials near the storage mechanism 3 are incomplete materials, the box body 31 is controlled to rise, so that the feed port 311 rises to the height of the materials, so that the incomplete materials can directly enter the box body 31 through the feed port 311 under the transportation of the conveyor belt. Referring again to FIG. 1, for example, the X direction in FIG. 1 is the movement direction of the conveyor belt.
[0043] In some embodiments, the lifting member 32 includes an inner arm 321 and an outer arm 322 , the inner arm 321 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the box body 31 , the inner arm 321 is nested in the outer arm 322 , and the inner arm 321 can move vertically in the outer arm 322 .
[0044] In some embodiments, the inner arm 321 and the outer arm 322 are connected by threads.
[0045] The inner arm 321 and the outer arm 322 are connected by threads to facilitate the adjustment of the height of the box body 31. When the height of the box body 31 needs to be adjusted, the inner arm 321 can be raised or lowered by rotating the outer arm 322, thereby adjusting the height of the box body 31.
[0046] In some of the embodiments, the lifting member 32 further includes a driving shaft 323 , which is fixedly connected to the outer arm 322 , and the detection member 12 can transmit a signal to the driving shaft 323 and control the driving shaft 323 .
[0047] The detection signal of the detection member 12 is used to transmit and control the movement of the driving shaft 323 , thereby driving the movement of the outer arm 322 , thereby facilitating the adjustment of the height of the box body 31 .
[0048] In some embodiments, the unloading device further includes a flipping member 4, which is movably connected to the transfer mechanism 2, and is used to turn the material over.
[0049] In some embodiments, the flip member 4 includes a first transverse plate 41, a connecting plate 42, and a second transverse plate 43, and the first transverse plate 41 and the second transverse plate 43 are connected to two opposite surfaces of the connecting plate 42. The connecting plate 42 can rotate in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction. The first transverse plate 41 and the second transverse plate 43 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower opposite sides of the transfer mechanism 2, and the surfaces of the first transverse plate 41 and the second transverse plate 43 facing the transfer mechanism 2 are respectively provided with adsorption members for adsorbing materials.
[0050] When the flipping member 4 is used to turn the material over, the material can first be adsorbed by the adsorption member arranged on the surface of the first horizontal plate 41 facing the transfer mechanism 2, and then rotated 180° in the horizontal and vertical directions through the connecting plate 42, and then the material can be released. That is, the material can be moved from the transfer mechanism 2 on one side of the flipping member 4 to the transfer mechanism 2 on the other side of the flipping member 4, and the turning of the material can be completed.
[0051] In some embodiments, a lid that can be opened and closed is provided on one side of the box body 31, so as to facilitate the removal of unqualified materials from the inside of the box body 31.
[0052] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0053] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present application shall be subject to the attached claims, and the description and drawings may be used to interpret the contents of the claims.
