DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0032] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more comprehensively with reference to the relevant drawings. The drawings provide preferred embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present invention more thoroughly and comprehensively understood.
[0033] See also Figure 1A battery automatic capping and flattening production line (10) comprises: a jig conveying device (100), a loading device (200), a capping device (300), a flattening device (400) and a unloading device (500); the jig conveying device (100) comprises a plurality of jigs (110), a feeding conveying line (120), a reflow conveying line (130), a first transverse movement mechanism (140) and a second transverse movement mechanism (150); the feeding conveying line (120) and the reflow conveying line (130) are arranged side by side and have opposite conveying directions; the feeding conveying line (120) is used to transfer the jigs (110) to the reflow conveying line (130); 10) are sequentially transferred to the loading device (200), the lid closing device (300), the flat pressing device (400) and the unloading device (500) for corresponding operations, the first transverse movement mechanism (140) is used to transfer the jig (110) after the unloading operation from the feeding conveyor line (120) to the return conveyor line (130), the return conveyor line (130) transfers the jig (110) to the working area of the second transverse movement mechanism (150), and the second transverse movement mechanism (150) transfers the jig (110) from the return conveyor line (130) to the starting end of the feeding conveyor line (120).
[0034] The following is the operation process of each device in the production line:
[0035] Step 1, the loading device (200) is adjacent to the starting end of the feeding conveyor line (120), the fixture (110) can load multiple batteries at one time, and the loading device (200) automatically fills the fixture (110) with batteries to complete the loading action.
[0036] Step 2: The jig (110) loaded with batteries continues to be transported by the feeding conveyor line (120) to the working area of the cover closing device (300) and then stops being transported. The robot arm or automated equipment of the cover closing device (300) accurately places the battery cover on the open end of the battery to complete the cover closing action.
[0037] Step 3: After the cover is closed, the jig (110) is further transferred to the flattening device (400). The flattening device (400) flattens and compacts the battery to ensure that the battery cover fits tightly to the battery, thereby improving the sealing and safety of the battery.
[0038] Step 4: The jig (110) is transferred to the unloading device (500). The finished batteries are automatically taken out of the jig (110) and placed in a designated collection area.
[0039] Step 5. After the jig (110) completes the unloading operation, the first transverse movement mechanism (140) transfers the empty jig (110) from the feeding conveyor line (120) to the return conveyor line (130) arranged side by side, wherein the return conveyor line (130) has a conveying direction opposite to that of the feeding conveyor line (120), and it conveys the empty jig (110) to the working area of the second transverse movement mechanism (150).
[0040] Step 6. After the second transverse movement mechanism (150) receives the empty jig (110), it transfers it from the return conveyor line (130) back to the starting end of the feed conveyor line (120), completing a complete jig (110) cycle. In this way, the jig (110) can be reloaded with new batteries to start the next round of production process.
[0041] Throughout the entire production process, the various devices work closely together, and the operation is accurate and fast, achieving efficient and automated production of batteries. This production line design not only improves production efficiency, but also greatly reduces labor costs, creating greater economic benefits for the company.
[0042] See also Figure 1 Furthermore, the feeding conveyor line (120) includes a conveyor frame (121), a conveyor belt mechanism (122) and a plurality of blocking components (123); the conveyor belt mechanism (122) includes a first belt component (1221) and a second belt component (1222); the first belt component (1221) and the second belt component (1222) are arranged side by side and at intervals on the conveyor frame (121); the plurality of blocking components (123) are arranged at intervals between the first belt component (1221) and the second belt component (1222); the first belt component (1221) and the second belt component (1222) cooperate to convey the jig (110); and the plurality of blocking components (123) are used to intercept the jig (110).
[0043] It should be noted that when the jig (110) is placed on the first belt assembly (1221) and the second belt assembly (1222), the two belt assemblies will work together to smoothly convey the jig (110) forward. During the conveying process, when the jig (110) needs to be paused or positioned, the blocking assembly (123) will play a role. They will be activated to intercept the jig (110) to ensure that the jig (110) stops at a specific position. Once the jig (110) completes the corresponding process, such as closing or flattening, the blocking assembly (123) will release the jig (110), and then the jig (110) will continue to be conveyed by the belt assembly to the next process. Through the precise control of the blocking assembly (123), the jig (110) can be accurately positioned and paused on the production line, which is crucial for processes that require high-precision operations (such as closing and flattening).
[0044] See also Figure 1 Furthermore, each blocking component (123) includes a blocking cylinder (1231), a blocking member (1232) and a blocking sensor (1233). The output end of the blocking cylinder (1231) is connected to the blocking member (1232). The blocking sensor (1233) is used to sense the position information of the fixture (110) and feed the position information back to the blocking cylinder (1231). The blocking cylinder (1231) is used to drive the blocking member (1232) to perform lifting activities so as to control the release or interception of the fixture (110).
[0045] It should be noted that when the production line starts working, the blocking cylinder (1231) is in the default state, the blocking member (1232) is lowered, and the transmission of the jig (110) is not blocked. When the jig (110) approaches the blocking component (123), the blocking sensor (1233) senses the position information of the jig (110), and the blocking sensor (1233) immediately transmits this information to the control system and synchronizes it to the blocking cylinder (1231). After receiving the command from the control system, the blocking cylinder (1231) drives the blocking member (1232) to rise, thereby blocking the jig (110) from moving forward and realizing the interception function. When the jig (110) completes the current process and needs to move forward, the control system will again send a command to the blocking cylinder (1231) to drive the blocking member (1232) to descend and release the jig (110). The blocking component (123) provides important guarantees for the efficient and stable operation of the battery automatic cover closing and flat pressing production line (10) through technical effects such as high-precision control, automated operation, rapid response and flexible adjustment.
[0046] Furthermore, the feeding conveyor line (120) also includes a jig positioning component. When the jig is intercepted by the blocking component (123), the jig positioning component can start to limit the jig in the horizontal direction, so as to improve the stability of the jig during operations such as closing the cover, pressing, and unloading, further improve the operation precision and ensure the quality of the battery.
[0047] See also Figure 1 Furthermore, the jig conveying device (100) further includes an abnormal jig (110) discharge line, which is arranged side by side with the feeding conveying line (120). If the first transverse movement mechanism (140) recognizes that the jig (110) is in an empty tray state, the jig (110) is transferred to the return conveying line (130). If the first transverse movement mechanism (140) recognizes that there is a material jam on the jig (110), the jig (110) is transferred to the abnormal jig (110) discharge line.
[0048] It should be noted that the jig (110) is normally transported on the feeding conveyor line (120) and processed through various processes. When the jig (110) is transported to the position of the first transverse movement mechanism (140), the mechanism will identify the jig (110). If the jig (110) is in an empty tray state (i.e., no batteries are loaded or the processing has been completed), the first transverse movement mechanism (140) will transfer it to the return conveyor line (130) for recycling. If the first transverse movement mechanism (140) identifies that there is a material jamming abnormality on the jig (110) (such as unprocessed batteries, incorrect battery position, etc.), it will transfer the jig (110) to the abnormal jig (110) discharge line. The jig (110) transferred to the abnormal jig (110) discharge line can be further inspected and processed to solve the material jamming abnormality or other problems. By introducing an abnormal jig (110) discharge line and a corresponding identification mechanism, the battery automatic capping and flattening production line (10) achieves higher automation, efficiency and product quality in handling jig (110) abnormalities. This design not only reduces the need for manual intervention, but also improves the overall performance and stability of the production line.
[0049] See also Figure 1 Furthermore, the first transverse movement mechanism (140) includes a first transverse movement bracket (141), a first transverse movement driving module (142), a first transverse movement lifting cylinder (143), a first transverse movement clamp (144) and a photoelectric sensor (145). The first transverse movement driving module (142) is used to drive the first transverse movement lifting cylinder (143) to move in the horizontal direction, the first transverse movement lifting cylinder (143) is used to drive the first transverse movement clamp (144) to move up and down, the first transverse movement clamp (144) is used to clamp or release the fixture (110), and the photoelectric sensor (145) is arranged on the first transverse movement clamp (144) to detect whether there is any abnormal jamming on the fixture (110).
[0050] See also Figure 1 Furthermore, the second transverse movement mechanism (150) includes a second transverse movement bracket (151), a second transverse movement driving module (152), a second transverse movement lifting cylinder (153) and a second transverse movement clamp (154). The second transverse movement driving module (152) is arranged across the feeding conveyor line (120) and the return conveyor line (130) through the second transverse movement bracket (151). The second transverse movement driving module (152) is used to drive the second transverse movement lifting cylinder (153) to move back and forth between the feeding conveyor line (120) and the return conveyor line (130). The second transverse movement lifting cylinder (153) is used to drive the second transverse movement clamp (154) to move up and down. The second transverse movement clamp (154) is used to clamp or release the fixture (110).
[0051] It should be noted that, through precise cylinder control and clamping jaw design, the first transverse movement mechanism (140) can achieve high-precision clamping and movement of the jig (110), ensuring the stability and accuracy of the jig (110) during the transfer process. Through precise cylinder control and clamping jaw design, the first transverse movement mechanism (140) can achieve high-precision clamping and movement of the jig (110), ensuring the stability and accuracy of the jig (110) during the transfer process. The design of the first transverse movement mechanism (140) makes the transfer process of the jig (110) fast and smooth, reduces unnecessary pauses and delays, and improves production efficiency.
[0052] See also Figure 1 Furthermore, the jig conveying device (100) further comprises a rotary clamping mechanism (170), which is arranged between the feeding conveying line (120) and the flattening device (400), and the rotary clamping mechanism (170) is used to transfer the jig (110) from the feeding conveying line (120) to the flattening device (400) for flattening operation, and to transfer the jig (110) after the flattening operation back to the feeding conveying line (120).
[0053] It should be noted that the rotating clamping mechanism (170) includes two clamping jaw assemblies (171), a rotating lifting drive member (172) and a material picking plate (173). The two clamping jaw assemblies (171) are respectively arranged at the two ends of the material picking plate (173). The clamping jaw assembly (171) is used to grasp and release the clamp, and the rotating lifting drive member (172) is used to drive the material picking plate (173) to rotate and lift, so that the material picking plate (173) drives the clamping jaw assembly (171) to switch positions between the feeding conveyor line (120) and the flattening device (400), thereby completing the position switch of the flattened jig (110) and the jig to be flattened (110), thereby improving production efficiency.
[0054] See also Figure 1 Furthermore, the loading device (200) includes a plurality of material trays (210), an alternating tray feeding mechanism (220) and a third transverse movement mechanism (230). The plurality of material trays (210) are used to place liquid-filled but uncapped batteries. The alternating tray feeding mechanism (220) includes a first loading component (221) and a second loading component (222). The first loading component (221) and the second loading component (222) can respectively convey a material tray (210). When the first loading component (221) conveys the tray (210) to be loaded to the working area of the third transverse movement mechanism (230), the second loading component (222) simultaneously conveys the loaded material tray (210) to the loading and unloading tray (210) station. The third transverse movement mechanism (230) is used to transfer the liquid-filled but uncapped batteries on the material tray (210) to the fixture (110) of the feeding conveyor line (120).
[0055] It should be noted that the first loading component (221) first transfers the tray (210) to be loaded to the working area of the third transverse movement mechanism (230). At the same time, the second loading component (222) transfers the empty tray (210) that has been loaded to the upper and lower tray (210) stations for tray replacement operations. The two loading components are operated alternately to ensure the continuity of the loading process. The third transverse movement mechanism (230) transfers the liquid-filled and uncapped batteries on the lower tray (210) one by one or in batches to the jig (110) on the feeding conveyor line (120). Through the cooperation of the alternating tray feeding mechanism (220) and the third transverse movement mechanism (230), efficient and continuous loading operations are achieved. The alternating operation of the two loading components reduces waiting time and improves production efficiency.
[0056] See also Figure 1 Furthermore, the cover closing device (300) includes a cover closing frame (310), a flexible robotic arm (320), a suction nozzle (330), a tray (340) and a feeding bin (350), wherein the flexible robotic arm (320) is arranged on the cover closing frame (310), the feeding bin (350) is used to feed the battery covers into the tray (340) in batches, the suction nozzle (330) is used to suck the battery covers, and the suction nozzle (330) is connected to the output end of the flexible robotic arm (320), and the flexible robotic arm (320) is used to drive the suction nozzle (330) to feed the jig (110) on the feeding conveyor line (120) one by one.
[0057] It should be noted that, through the cooperation of the flexible robotic arm (320) and the suction nozzle (330), the automatic placement and removal of the battery cover is realized, which greatly improves the efficiency of the cover closing operation. The high-precision positioning and flexibility of the flexible robotic arm (320) ensure that the battery cover can be accurately placed on the battery, avoiding errors that may be caused by manual operation.
[0058] See also Figure 1 Furthermore, the flattening device (400) includes a flattening platform (410), a flattening driving member (420) and a flattening plate (430), the rotating clamping mechanism (170) transfers the jig (110) to the flattening platform (410), and the flattening driving member (420) drives the flattening plate (430) to perform a flattening operation on the jig (110).
[0059] It should be noted that the close cooperation between the flattening device (400) and the rotating clamping mechanism (170) realizes the automated conveying and flattening operation of the jig (110), thereby greatly improving the production efficiency.
[0060] See also Figure 1Furthermore, the unloading device (500) includes a plurality of vacuum suction parts (510), an unloading lifting drive part (520) and an unloading transverse driving part. The plurality of vacuum suction parts (510) are arranged in an array, and each vacuum suction part (510) is used to absorb a battery. The unloading transverse driving part and the unloading lifting drive part (520) cooperate to drive the plurality of vacuum suction parts (510) to unload the jig (110) at the end of the feeding conveyor line (120).
[0061] It should be noted that in order to make the structure of the production line more compact, the first transverse driving module (142) can be used as a transverse driving component for unloading, that is, the battery unloading conveyor line can be arranged side by side with the feeding conveyor line (120), and the unloading lifting driving component (520) and the first transverse lifting cylinder (143) are arranged side by side on the movable slide of the first transverse driving module (142).
