[0002] The copper bar is one of the important components of the battery pack, and studs need to be riveted on it during the production process. Currently, the studs are usually riveted to the copper bar using locking equipment. During the locking process, because the same copper bar needs to be riveted with studs of different specifications, it is easy for the copper bar to be missed or wrongly riveted, resulting in a large number of copper bars being reworked and reassembled. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above problems, the present application provides a locking device and a locking system, which can improve the problem that studs of different specifications are not assembled in the corresponding installation holes on the copper bar.

[0004] In the first aspect, the present application provides a locking device, which includes a stud feeding mechanism, a copper bar feeding mechanism and a loading mechanism. The stud feeding mechanism includes a plurality of stud feeding assemblies, each of which is used to place studs of different specifications; the copper bar feeding mechanism is used to place copper bars; the loading mechanism includes a plurality of loading pieces, which correspond one-to-one to the stud feeding assemblies and constitute a group, one end of the loading piece is connected to the stud feeding assembly, and the other end is arranged toward the copper bar feeding mechanism to install the stud on the stud feeding assembly on the copper bar.

[0005] In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, a single stud feeding assembly and a single loading piece are divided into a group to form a separate channel, so that studs of different specifications are respectively delivered to the copper bar feeding mechanism through the corresponding channels to be assembled on the copper bar. In this way, compared with placing all studs in the same stud feeding assembly, the probability of incorrect assembly position of studs of different specifications when assembled on the copper bar is reduced, the foolproof ability of the locking device is improved, and the probability of rework and reassembly is reduced.

[0006] In some embodiments, the stud feeding assembly includes a supporting member and a blowing member, the supporting member is used to support the studs, one end of the blowing member is connected to the supporting member, and the other end is connected to the feeding member, and the studs are blown into the feeding member.

[0007] By such arrangement, the stud feeding assembly is equipped with the function of conveying materials, thus enriching the function of the stud feeding assembly.

[0008] In some embodiments, the feeding mechanism also includes a bracket, all of the feeding parts are movably mounted on the bracket, and can be switched between a loading position and a waiting loading position relative to the bracket in sequence; when one of the feeding parts is in the loading position, the feeding part is arranged opposite to the mounting hole of the copper bar, and the other feeding parts are all in the waiting loading position.

[0009] Such an arrangement simplifies the operation mode of the loading parts and facilitates the switching back and forth of different loading parts between different positions.

[0010] In some embodiments, the copper bar feeding mechanism further includes a mounting member, on which is provided at least one mounting position, each of which is used to mount one of the copper bars and to limit the position of the copper bar.

[0011] In this way, during the process of assembling the stud on the copper bar, the mounting piece can limit the copper bar so that the copper bar is always in the initial position, reducing the probability that the copper bar contacts external components and moves, resulting in the stud being unable to be smoothly inserted into the mounting hole on the copper bar.

[0012] In some embodiments, the locking device further includes a locking mechanism and a detection mechanism, and the mounting member can switch back and forth between the loading station, the locking station and the detection station;

[0013] At the loading station, an installation position is arranged opposite to a loading piece; at the locking station, an installation position is arranged opposite to the locking mechanism, and the locking mechanism rivets the copper bar and the corresponding studs on the installation position; at the inspection station, the inspection mechanism inspects the studs of the riveted copper bar.

[0014] Such an arrangement can enrich the functions of the locking device and improve the fool-proof effect of the locking device.

[0015] In some embodiments, the copper bar feeding mechanism also includes a base, and the mounting member is rotatably provided on the base.

[0016] The above arrangement reduces the volume of the copper bar feeding mechanism and the volume of the entire locking device by shortening the distance between two adjacent workstations.

[0017] In some embodiments, the mounting member is electrically connected to the feeding mechanism and is controlled by the feeding mechanism, and the mounting member can drive the different mounting positions to move to the locking position in sequence.

[0018] With such an arrangement, the mounting part can promptly receive the signal sent by the mechanism operating at the previous station, and determine whether to move to the next station based on the received signal, so as to seal and cooperate with the mechanism operating at the next station, thereby shortening the time taken for the mounting part to switch between two adjacent stations and improving the operating efficiency of the mounting part.

[0019] In some embodiments, the mounting member is electrically connected to the locking mechanism and is controlled by the locking mechanism, and the mounting member can drive different mounting positions to move to the detection station in sequence.

[0020] With such an arrangement, the mounting part can promptly receive the signal sent by the mechanism operating at the previous station, and determine whether to move to the next station based on the received signal, so as to seal and cooperate with the mechanism operating at the next station, thereby shortening the time taken for the mounting part to switch between two adjacent stations and improving the operating efficiency of the mounting part.

[0021] In some embodiments, the locking device also includes a conveying mechanism, which is used to transport the copper bar on the inspection station.

[0022] In this way, there is no need for manual handling of the copper bars, which speeds up the transfer of the copper bars at the inspection station and speeds up the subsequent copper bars entering the inspection station for inspection.

[0023] In some embodiments, the conveying mechanism includes a transfer member and a conveying member, the transfer member is controlled by the detection mechanism, and transfers the copper bar that has passed the detection to the conveying member.

[0040] In order to improve the efficiency of riveting studs on copper bars, locking equipment is usually used to rivet studs on copper bars to assemble copper bars in batches. During the locking process, because the same copper bar needs to be riveted with studs of different specifications, it is easy for the copper bar to be missed or wrongly riveted, resulting in a large number of copper bars being reworked and reassembled. Based on this, studs of different specifications are generally classified manually, but this method is still prone to a large number of studs of different specifications being mixed together.

[0041] Based on the above considerations, in order to solve the problem that studs of different specifications are mixed together during the feeding process, resulting in them not being assembled in the corresponding installation holes of the copper bar. Some embodiments of the present application provide a locking device, which includes multiple stud feeding assemblies and multiple feeding pieces. A stud feeding assembly and a feeding piece together constitute a channel, through which studs of one specification are conveyed, thereby avoiding the mixing of studs of different specifications, and achieving a fool-proof effect.

[0042] The locking device provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to the fields of automobile manufacturing, electronic product manufacturing, aerospace, etc.

[0043] For the convenience of description, the following embodiments are described by taking an example of a locking device according to an embodiment of the present application applied in the field of battery manufacturing.

[0044] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 Some embodiments of the present application provide a locking device 1000, which includes a stud feeding mechanism 100, a copper bar feeding mechanism 200, and a loading mechanism 300. The stud feeding mechanism 100 includes a plurality of stud feeding assemblies, each of which is used to place studs of different specifications; the copper bar feeding mechanism 200 is used to place the copper bar 700; the loading mechanism 300 includes a plurality of loading pieces 310, and the loading pieces 310 correspond to the stud feeding assemblies one by one and form a group, one end of the loading piece 310 is connected to the stud feeding assembly, and the other end is arranged toward the copper bar feeding mechanism 200, so as to install the studs on the stud feeding assembly on the copper bar 700.

[0045] Each stud feeding assembly is used to carry studs of different specifications to divide the studs of different specifications to prevent the studs of different specifications from being mixed together and difficult to distinguish, which makes it difficult for the feeding member 310 to take out the materials. Among them, two adjacent stud feeding assemblies are not connected to each other. The studs can be manually fed into the stud feeding assembly, or automatically fed into the stud feeding assembly by a feeding member.

[0046] The feeding member 310 may include a manipulator that can move back and forth between the stud feeding assembly and the copper bar feeding mechanism 200. When the manipulator receives the stud from the stud feeding assembly, the manipulator can move toward the copper bar feeding mechanism 200 and install the stud on the copper bar 700, such as in the installation hole on the copper bar 700. A feeding member 310 and a stud feeding assembly together form a conveying channel to convey studs of one specification.

[0047] The copper bar feeding mechanism 200 may include a supporting platform, which is used to place the copper bar 700 and limit the copper bar 700, thereby reducing the probability of the copper bar 700 deviating from the installation position 211 during the assembly of the studs and improving the smoothness of the assembly of the studs on the copper bar 700.

[0048] Exemplarily, the locking device 1000 includes four stud feeding assemblies and four loading pieces 310. One stud feeding piece and one loading piece 310 constitute a group. The process of assembling a single stud on the copper bar 700 is described by taking a single group as an example. The manipulator clamps the stud on the stud feeding assembly, then moves to the copper bar feeding mechanism 200, and assembles the stud on the copper bar 700. Repeating this process, the remaining manipulators clamp the studs of corresponding specifications in turn and assemble them on the same copper bar 700, so that all the studs that need to be assembled on the copper bar 700 are installed.

[0049] In this way, the remaining copper bars 700 can be assembled with studs in sequence until all the copper bars 700 are assembled.

[0050] In summary, a single stud feeding assembly and a single loading piece 310 are divided into a group to form a separate channel, so that studs of different specifications are respectively delivered to the copper bar feeding mechanism 200 through the corresponding channels to be assembled on the copper bar 700. In this way, compared with placing all studs in the same stud feeding assembly, the probability of incorrect assembly position of studs of different specifications when assembled on the copper bar 700 is reduced, the foolproof ability of the locking device 1000 is improved, and the probability of rework and reassembly is reduced.

[0051] In some embodiments, the stud feeding assembly includes a carrier and a blowing member. The carrier is used to carry the studs. One end of the blowing member is connected to the carrier, and the other end is connected to the feeding member 310 to blow the studs into the feeding member 310 .

[0052] The carrier can be constructed as a vibration plate, which is used to change the posture of a large number of studs to be assembled so that they are arranged in order. After placing a large number of studs to be assembled in the vibration plate, the vibration plate starts to run, and the screws in the vibration plate rise along the spiral track, and in the process of rising, they are screened or changed in posture in a series of tracks, and finally automatically enter the nail blowing parts one by one according to the requirements of assembly or processing.

[0053] The blowing piece is similar to the nail blowing piece. The blowing piece includes a main body and a pipe that are connected. One end of the main body away from the pipe is connected to a vibration plate, and one end of the pipe away from the main body is connected to a feeding piece 310 .

[0054] Exemplarily, the stud feeding assembly includes four vibration disks and four nail blowing members, one vibration disk is connected to one nail blowing member, and the nail blowing member can blow the studs into the corresponding feeding member 310 .

[0055] When the studs in one of the vibration plates are arranged in the same posture under the action of the vibration plate and enter the loading piece 310 through the corresponding nail blowing piece one after another under the action of the nail blowing piece, the studs are subsequently assembled on the copper bar 700 through the loading piece 310.

[0056] Similarly, the studs in other vibration plates are also blown to the corresponding loading parts 310 through the corresponding nail blowing parts, and assembled to the corresponding positions on the copper bar 700 through the corresponding loading parts 310.

[0057] In this way, the stud feeding assembly is equipped with the function of conveying materials, which enriches the function of the stud feeding assembly.

[0058] In some embodiments, the feeding mechanism 300 also includes a bracket 320, and all the feeding parts 310 are movably mounted on the bracket 320, and all the feeding parts 310 can be switched between the loading position and the waiting loading position relative to the bracket 320 in sequence; when one of the feeding parts 310 is in the loading position, the feeding part 310 is arranged opposite to the installation hole of the copper bar 700, and the remaining feeding parts 310 are all in the waiting loading position.

[0059] The bracket 320 is used to carry the loading member 310. The loading member 310 can rotate relative to the bracket 320, or move relative to the bracket 320, so as to approach or move away from the bracket 320. The loading member 310 can be installed on the bracket 320 by, but not limited to, hinged, clamped, or other means.

[0060] Exemplarily, the feeding mechanism 300 includes four feeding pieces 310, two adjacent feeding pieces 310 are arranged at intervals, and all the feeding pieces 310 are enclosed together to form a circle. Assuming that the circle enclosed by the feeding pieces 310 is in the initial state, all the feeding pieces 310 are in the waiting position for loading. When the circle rotates clockwise by a certain angle, the first feeding piece 310 moves from the waiting position for loading to the loading position, and the remaining feeding pieces 310 are still in the waiting position for loading. At this time, the first feeding piece 310 is arranged opposite to the installation hole of the copper bar 700, and the stud can be assembled in the installation hole.

[0061] Then, the next specification of studs can be assembled. The circle continues to rotate clockwise until the second loading piece 310 moves to the loading position, and then the studs can be assembled. This process is repeated until all studs of different specifications are assembled on the same copper bar 700.

[0062] Such a configuration simplifies the operation mode of the loading member 310 and facilitates the switching of different loading members 310 between different positions.

[0063] In some embodiments, the copper bar feeding mechanism 200 further includes a mounting member 210 , on which is disposed at least one mounting position 211 , each mounting position 211 being used to mount a copper bar 700 and to limit the position of the copper bar 700 .

[0064] The structure of the mounting member 210 may be, but is not limited to, configured as a mounting plate, and a groove may be provided on the mounting plate. The groove is configured as the mounting member 210. The number of the grooves may be one or more, and each groove is used to place a copper bar 700.

[0065] During the process of assembling the stud to the copper bar 700, the groove can limit the copper bar 700 so that the copper bar 700 is always in the initial position, reducing the probability that the copper bar 700 contacts external components and moves, resulting in the stud being unable to be smoothly inserted into the installation hole on the copper bar 700.

[0066] Of course, in other embodiments, a buckle may be provided on the mounting member 210 but is not limited to being provided thereon, and the buckle is configured as the mounting member 210 to limit the copper bar 700 .

[0067] In some embodiments, the locking device 1000 also includes a locking mechanism 400 and a detection mechanism 500, and the mounting part 210 can switch back and forth between the loading station, the locking station and the detection station; in the loading station, an installation position 211 is arranged opposite to a loading part 310; in the locking station, an installation position 211 is arranged opposite to the locking mechanism 400, and the locking mechanism 400 rivets the copper bar 700 and the corresponding studs on the installation position 211; in the detection station, the detection mechanism 500 detects the studs of the riveted copper bar 700.

[0068] The locking mechanism 400 is used to rivet the stud and the copper bar 700 together. The locking mechanism 400 may include a booster cylinder and a riveting head. When the pressure value in the booster cylinder reaches a preset value, the riveting head can be driven to move. The riveting head is used to act on the stud to achieve riveting.

[0069] The detection mechanism 500 is used to detect whether the studs on the copper bar 700 are riveted at the correct position, whether the studs used are correct studs, and whether studs are missing and not riveted. The detection mechanism 500 includes a CCD camera, which is used to take pictures of the copper bar 700 that has been riveted, so that the user can check based on the pictures.

[0070] Exemplarily, the feeding mechanism 300, the locking mechanism 400 and the detection mechanism 500 can be arranged in the same direction, wherein the stud feeding mechanism 100 is located on one side of the feeding mechanism 300 so as to provide studs for the feeding mechanism 300. The mounting member 210 can sequentially pass through the feeding station, the locking station and the detection station during the movement, thereby driving the copper bar 700 located on the mounting position 211 to sequentially pass through the feeding station, the locking station and the detection station.

[0071] The copper bar 700 comes to the loading station. When the mounting position 211 for placing the copper bar 700 is arranged opposite to the loading part 310, the loading part 310 starts to operate and assembles the corresponding studs in the corresponding mounting holes of the copper bar 700 until all the studs of all specifications are assembled on the copper bar 700. Subsequently, the copper bar 700 with the studs assembled is driven by the mounting part 210 to the locking station. When it is arranged opposite to the locking mechanism 400, the locking mechanism 400 starts to operate and rivets each stud to the copper bar 700 together. After all the studs are riveted, the copper bar 700 is driven by the mounting part 210 to the inspection station, and the inspection mechanism 500 starts to operate and inspects the copper bar 700. If the copper bar 700 meets the requirements, then the following process can be entered. If the copper bar 700 does not meet the requirements, it is reworked for assembly.

[0072] It should be noted that when a plurality of mounting positions 211 are provided on the mounting part 210, and a copper bar 700 is placed on each mounting position 211, when the mounting part 210 is at a different station, it is necessary to wait until the corresponding mechanism completes the corresponding operation on the copper bars 700 corresponding to all mounting positions 211 before the mounting part 210 moves to the next station. That is, the loading mechanism 300 completes the stud assembly of all copper bars 700, and the mounting part 210 moves to the locking station. All studs on all copper bars 700 are riveted, and the mounting part 210 moves from the locking station to the inspection station.

[0073] Such a configuration can enrich the functions of the locking device 1000 and improve the foolproof effect of the locking device 1000.

[0074] Specifically, in some embodiments, the copper bar feeding mechanism 200 further includes a base 220 , on which a mounting member 210 is rotatably provided.

[0075] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the feeding mechanism 300, the locking mechanism 400 and the detection mechanism 500 are arranged around the base 220, and the base 220 is rotatably provided with a mounting member 210, and four mounting positions 211 are arranged at intervals on the mounting member 210. When the mounting member 210 rotates, different mounting positions 211 can pass through the feeding station, the locking station and the detection station in sequence. In this way, the copper bar 700 located at different mounting positions 211 can be operated accordingly by different mechanisms.

[0076] The above arrangement reduces the volume of the copper bar feeding mechanism 200 and the volume of the entire locking device 1000 by shortening the distance between two adjacent workstations.

[0077] In some embodiments, the mounting member 210 is electrically connected to the feeding mechanism 300 and is controlled by the feeding mechanism 300 . The mounting member 210 can drive different mounting positions 211 to move to the locking positions in sequence.

[0078] When the feeding mechanism 300 assembles the stud in the installation hole of the copper bar 700, the feeding mechanism 300 sends a signal to the mounting member 210. The mounting member 210 rotates according to the received signal until the mounting position 211 corresponding to the mounting member 210 rotates to the locking position and is arranged opposite to the locking mechanism 400. Then, the locking mechanism 400 can directly rivet the stud and the copper bar 700 together.

[0079] With such a configuration, the mounting member 210 can promptly receive the signal sent by the mechanism operating at the previous station, and determine whether to move to the next station based on the received signal, so as to seal and cooperate with the mechanism operating at the next station, thereby shortening the time taken for the mounting member 210 to switch between two adjacent stations and improving the operating efficiency of the mounting member 210.

[0080] In some embodiments, the mounting member 210 is electrically connected to the locking mechanism 400 and is controlled by the locking mechanism 400 . The mounting member 210 can drive different mounting positions 211 to move to the detection position in sequence.

[0081] After the locking mechanism 400 rivets the stud and the copper bar 700 together, the locking mechanism 400 sends a signal to the mounting member 210. The mounting member 210 rotates according to the received signal until the mounting position 211 corresponding to the mounting member 210 rotates to the detection position and is arranged opposite to the detection mechanism 500. Subsequently, the detection mechanism 500 can detect the copper bar 700 riveted with the stud.

[0082] With such a configuration, the mounting member 210 can promptly receive the signal sent by the mechanism operating at the previous station, and determine whether to move to the next station based on the received signal, so as to seal and cooperate with the mechanism operating at the next station, thereby shortening the time taken for the mounting member 210 to switch between two adjacent stations and improving the operating efficiency of the mounting member 210.

[0083] In some embodiments, the locking device 1000 further includes a conveying mechanism 600, which is used to transport the copper bar 700 on the inspection station.

[0084] The conveying mechanism 600 can be located beside the inspection mechanism 500. Taking a single copper bar 700 as an example, when the copper bar 700 located at the inspection station passes the inspection of the inspection mechanism 500, if the copper bar 700 is qualified, the conveying mechanism 600 can transfer the copper bar 700 from the inspection station to the storage point. If the copper bar 700 is unqualified, the conveying mechanism 600 can transfer the copper bar 700 from the inspection station to the rework storage point. This is repeated until all copper bars 700 are inspected by the inspection mechanism 500.

[0085] In this way, there is no need to manually carry the copper bar 700, which speeds up the transfer of the copper bar 700 located at the inspection station and speeds up the subsequent copper bar 700 entering the inspection station for inspection.

[0086] In some embodiments, the conveying mechanism 600 includes a transfer member and a conveying member. The transfer member is controlled by the detection mechanism 500 and transfers the copper bar 700 that has passed the detection to the conveying member.

[0087] The transfer element may be, but is not limited to, a robot arm, and the conveying element may be, but is not limited to, a conveyor belt.

[0088] For example, taking a single copper bar 700 as an example, when the copper bar 700 located at the inspection station passes the inspection of the inspection mechanism 500, the inspection mechanism 500 can send a signal to the transfer member, and the transfer member can transfer the qualified copper bar 700 to the conveying member according to the received signal, and transfer the unqualified copper bar 700 to the rework storage point.

[0089] Such an arrangement simplifies the structure of the conveying mechanism 600 and reduces the difficulty of preparing the conveying mechanism 600 .

[0090] In addition, some embodiments of the present application further provide a locking system, which includes the locking device 1000 in the above embodiment.

[0091] Specifically to an embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the locking device 1000 includes a stud feeding mechanism 100, a copper bar feeding mechanism 200, a feeding mechanism 300, a locking mechanism 400, a detection mechanism 500 and a conveying mechanism 600. The stud feeding mechanism 100 includes a plurality of stud feeding assemblies, each of which is used to place studs of different specifications. The feeding mechanism 300 includes a plurality of feeding pieces 310, and the feeding pieces 310 correspond to the stud feeding assemblies one by one and constitute a group. One end of the feeding piece 310 is connected to the stud feeding assembly, and the other end is arranged toward the copper bar feeding mechanism 200 to install the studs on the stud feeding assembly on the copper bar 700.

[0092] The copper bar is placed on the mounting part 210 of the copper bar feeding mechanism 200. The mounting part 210 can pass through the loading station, the locking station and the inspection station in sequence during the movement. The copper bar 700 comes to the loading station. When the mounting position 211 where the copper bar 700 is placed is directly opposite to the loading part 310, the loading part 310 starts to work and assembles the corresponding studs into the corresponding mounting holes of the copper bar 700 until all the studs of all specifications are assembled on the copper bar 700. Subsequently, the copper bar 700 with the studs assembled is driven by the mounting part 210 to the locking station. When it is directly opposite to the locking mechanism 400, the locking mechanism 400 starts to work and rivets each stud to the copper bar 700 together.

[0093] After all the studs are riveted, the copper bar 700 is driven by the mounting member 210 to the inspection station, and the inspection mechanism 500 starts to work and inspects the copper bar 700. After the copper bar 700 on the inspection station is inspected, it is transported to the storage point or rework storage point by the conveying mechanism 600.

[0094] In summary, a single stud feeding assembly and a single loading piece 310 are divided into a group to form a separate channel, so that studs of different specifications are respectively delivered to the copper bar feeding mechanism 200 through the corresponding channels to be assembled on the copper bar 700. In this way, compared with placing all studs in the same stud feeding assembly, the probability of incorrect assembly position of studs of different specifications when assembled on the copper bar 700 is reduced, the foolproof ability of the locking device 1000 is improved, and the probability of rework and reassembly is reduced.

[0095] 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.

[0096] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. 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 application shall be subject to the attached claims.
