Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of battery cell transportation, and in particular, the present application relates to a battery cell tidying device. Background Art

[0002] The battery string is formed by connecting the battery cell group and the welding ribbon group in series. Before welding and manufacturing the battery string, the battery cell group needs to be regularized and positioned to adjust the spacing and alignment of each battery cell. Generally, the battery cell group to be regularized is transported to the regularization station by a conveying mechanism, and the regularization mechanism at the regularization station adjusts the spacing and alignment of the battery cells. However, the existing conveying mechanisms all convey the battery cell group along the length direction of the battery cell group, so the conveying path of the conveying mechanism is long, and there will be a problem of too long a beat. Utility Model Content

[0003] The example of the present application provides a battery cell aligning device that can improve the processing effect of battery cells so that the battery cells can be aligned after a shorter conveying time, thereby improving the aligning efficiency.

[0004] The solution of this application example is implemented through the following contents.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present application discloses a battery cell regularization device.

[0006] The battery cell regularization mechanism includes:

[0007] A conveying mechanism, used to convey the battery cell group along the conveying track, and provided with a material unloading station;

[0008] The aligning mechanism is located on the side of the conveying track, and is provided with an aligning station parallel to the unloading station. The aligning mechanism is used to align the battery cell group at the aligning station;

[0009] The handling mechanism is located above the transmission mechanism and the arranging mechanism, and is used to transfer the battery cell group from the unloading station to the arranging station transversely relative to the conveying track.

[0010] In the battery cell aligning device, the aligning mechanism is arranged at the unloading station of the transmission mechanism, so that the aligning mechanism and the transmission mechanism are not on a continuous battery displacement path. The transport mechanism is also arranged near the first aligning mechanism, and the battery cell is transferred from the transmission mechanism to the aligning mechanism by lateral movement, so that the aligning mechanism can align the battery cell at the aligning station.

[0011] Through the above-mentioned method, the arranging mechanism and the transmission mechanism are not in the same line. By placing the arranging mechanism laterally, the moving distance of the conveying mechanism can be shortened and the conveying rhythm can be faster, thereby also improving the arranging speed of the battery and improving the production efficiency.

[0012] Optionally, the transport mechanism includes a support frame and a movable arm, the support frame is mounted above the transmission mechanism and the tidying mechanism, the movable arm is slidably disposed on the support frame, and the movable arm is used to pick up the battery cell group from the unloading station and drive the battery cell group to move horizontally relative to the conveying track to the tidying station.

[0013] The support frame is arranged across the transmission mechanism and the regulating mechanism, so that more sufficient moving space can be provided to the movable arm, and movement between the transmission mechanism and the regulating mechanism is more convenient and quick; at the same time, it is also beneficial to the configuration and installation of various mechanical structures.

[0014] Optionally, the transport mechanism further comprises a first adsorption component for adsorbing the battery cell group by negative pressure, and the first adsorption component is mounted on the movable arm.

[0015] The first adsorption component uses negative pressure to adsorb the battery cell, and its adsorption force can be easily adjusted, and can be flexibly controlled and changed according to the needs of the on-site battery. In addition, compared with the method of clamping the battery cell and then transferring it through the movable arm, the first adsorption component adsorbs the battery cell to reduce potential mechanical damage to the battery cell, such as clamping damage.

[0016] Optionally, there are multiple first adsorption components, each first adsorption component adsorbs a battery sheet, and each first adsorption component is configured to move independently and in a controlled manner.

[0017] Multiple first adsorption components can form multiple adsorption positions with the battery cells, thereby distributing the weight of the battery cells to these first adsorption components, which can also reduce the force acting on a single first adsorption component and reduce the risk of a single first adsorption component being fatigued and damaged more quickly due to relatively high-intensity work.

[0018] Optionally, the tidying mechanism includes a first tidying plate, a transfer mechanism and a first driving member that cooperate with each other. The transfer mechanism carries the battery cell group placed by the conveying mechanism at the tidying station. The first tidying plate is located on the side of the tidying station away from the transmission mechanism. The first driving member is used to drive the first tidying plate to laterally contact the transfer mechanism and tidy the battery cell group carried on the transfer mechanism.

[0019] The first aligning plate, the transfer mechanism and the first driving member cooperate to easily align the battery cells, and the battery cells are aligned by means of friction, which can reduce the wear and tear on the battery cells when the battery cells are aligned using narrow channels.

[0020] Optionally, the tidying mechanism also includes a second tidying plate and a third driving member that cooperate with each other, the second tidying plate is located on the side of the tidying station close to the transmission mechanism, and the third driving member is used to drive the second tidying plate to laterally interfere with and tidy the battery cell group carried on the transfer mechanism.

[0021] The second tidying plate (and its driving member) provided on the basis of the first tidying plate (and its driving member) can be used as a spare part. When the first tidying plate (and its driving member) is damaged, the third driving member (and its driving member) can be used as a replacement, avoiding the problem of production line stoppage due to only the first set of tidying equipment.

[0022] Optionally, the first regularization plate and the second regularization plate are arranged opposite to each other, so that the two regularization plates can regularize the batteries on both sides in the same direction, thereby improving the regularization accuracy and effect.

[0023] Optionally, the tidying machine device further includes a second driving member arranged on the same side as the second tidying plate, for driving the second tidying plate to move up and down relative to the conveying plane of the battery.

[0024] By designing the second tidying plate with lifting functions and structural configurations, the second tidying mechanism can be lowered when the first tidying plate can achieve a good tidying effect, thus reserving activity and operation space for other equipment or mechanisms.

[0025] Optionally, the transfer mechanism is arranged parallel to and adjacent to the transmission mechanism; the transfer mechanism is used to transport the regularized battery cell group to the next workstation.

[0026] After being regularized, the battery cells can continue to be transported to the subsequent processing steps, thereby making the operation more consistent and thus improving the operating efficiency of the production line.

[0027] Optionally, the transfer mechanism includes multiple second adsorption components and a fourth driving member, wherein: the multiple second adsorption components are used to respectively receive a battery cell at the tidying station, and the fourth driving member is used to drive the multiple second adsorption components to move from the tidying station to the next station; the multiple second adsorption components are configured to move independently and controlled, and the fourth driving member is also used to adjust the spacing between adjacent second adsorption components during the process of moving the multiple second adsorption components.

[0028] Optionally, the battery cell tidying equipment also includes a visual recognition mechanism and a light source for forming a battery cell group alignment recognition area; the visual recognition mechanism is vertically arranged on the transfer mechanism, and the light source is arranged at the tidying station and located below the travel of the transfer mechanism.

[0029] The visual recognition mechanism can confirm the regularization effect of the battery cell, so that if the first regularization is not in place, a secondary regularization process can be performed to improve the regularity of the battery cell when it enters the next process; at the same time, it can also prevent the battery cell that is not regularized from entering the next process, thereby improving the quality and yield of the subsequent processed products of the battery cell. The light source can provide lighting effects to facilitate the visual recognition mechanism to identify.

[0030] The above implementation of the regularization device of the present application example can at least achieve the following effects:

[0031] The existing arranging mechanism, the transporting direction of the transporting mechanism and the conveying line are configured in a line. The transporting mechanism transports the battery cell group along the direction of the conveying line to the arranging station for arranging. However, there are problems such as a large moving distance along the conveying direction and a long operation cycle.

[0032] In the solution of the present application, the transmission mechanism, the arranging mechanism and the handling mechanism are specially configured - the arranging mechanism is arranged adjacent to the side of the unloading station of the transmission mechanism, and the handling mechanism is made to move laterally relative to the conveying track of the transmission mechanism to transport the batteries.

[0033] Therefore, the handling mechanism moves laterally relative to the transmission mechanism, rather than moving in line with the transmission trajectory of the transmission mechanism. At the same time, the unloading station and the regularization mechanism also form a lateral position relationship. In this way, the moving distance of the handling mechanism is shorter and the handling rhythm is faster. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0047] In order to overcome the problems of the current photovoltaic cell aligning equipment in which the cell group is transported along the length direction of the cell group, resulting in a long transport path and a long cycle of the transport mechanism in the equipment, the present application proposes a new cell aligning equipment which can efficiently complete the cell aligning operation.

[0048] In general, one of the main improvements of the cell tidying device 100 in the present application is that the transmission mechanism 10 (or described as a cell conveyor line, referred to as a conveyor line) in the example of the present application is arranged in parallel with the tidying mechanism 30. When in use, the transport mechanism 20 transports the cells on the conveyor line to the tidying mechanism 30 laterally, and the tidying plate in the tidying mechanism 30 abuts against the cell group on one side to perform the tidying operation. Subsequently, the tidying mechanism 30 transports the cell group to the cache mechanism 40, and the cache mechanism 40 caches the cell group.

[0049] Therefore, in the solution of the present application, since the conveying line and the tidying mechanism 30 are arranged in parallel with each other, combined with the transporting mechanism 20 that can move laterally, and the battery cells (one or more) can be tidy by single-sided abutment, the battery cells can be moved and transported laterally at a shorter distance, and the operation cycle is also shorter.

[0050] The battery cell aligning device 100 in the example will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0051] Generally speaking, the battery cell arranging device 100 in the example includes a transmission mechanism 10 , an arranging mechanism 30 , and a handling mechanism 20 .

[0052] As the name implies, the transport mechanism 10 is used to transport the battery cells and to transport the battery cells placed thereon to the position / station corresponding to the aligning mechanism 30 .

[0053] The transport mechanism 20 is used to transport the battery cells, that is, to transport the battery cells located at the aforementioned position of the transmission mechanism 10 horizontally to the position of the aligning mechanism 30 .

[0054] The aligning mechanism 30 is used to align the battery cells by abutting against each other, that is, the battery cells transported by the transporting mechanism 20 are aligning by abutting against each other on one side.

[0055] Furthermore, in order to facilitate subsequent processing of the battery cells, such as serially welding a plurality of battery cells using welding ribbons, a cache mechanism 40 may be provided in the battery cell tidying device 100 .

[0056] For the cache mechanism 40, the adsorption component (the second adsorption component 603 described later) in the tidying device can be synchronously moved between the cache trays in the two cache mechanisms 40, so that the cache tray can lift and cache the battery cell group by operating the cache tray. Afterwards, when the adsorption component leaves to form a movable space, the cache tray can put the battery cell group down in the movable space.

[0057] In this way, when the next battery cell group is arranged, the adsorption assembly is activated again to move the battery cell group to the vicinity of the previously cached battery cell group at the cache mechanism 40. At this time, the two battery cell groups can form a complete set of battery cells, which are then moved away as a whole by the second transport mechanism for subsequent processing, such as string welding.

[0058] The above mainly discusses the functions and usage of the main components of the battery cell aligning device 100, or the operation methods in the process of aligning the battery cells. The following will discuss and analyze the main components in more detail.

[0059] In detail, the transmission mechanism 10 for transmitting the battery cell group along the transmission track can be a mechanism such as a conveyor belt. Considering the usage scenario, generally, the transmission mechanism 10 can be a conveyor line in various forms. As an example, the conveyor line includes, but is not limited to, a roller conveyor line, a chain plate conveyor line, a belt conveyor line, a synchronous belt conveyor line, a flat top chain conveyor line, a flexible chain plate conveyor line, a double speed chain conveyor line or a mesh belt conveyor line.

[0060] These conveyor lines can obtain specific structures and implementations in the prior art. In order to avoid redundancy and excessive length, they will not be described in detail in this article. And in the specific implementation, appropriate adjustments, modifications or adaptive changes can be made according to the characteristics of the conveyed object, such as the battery cells in this application. For example, the conveyor line may include a frame structure and a motor fixed to the frame structure. Multiple pairs of rolling shafts are installed on the frame through bearings, and the rolling shafts are sleeved with structures such as ring chains. The motor and the rolling shaft are driven by a belt, and the rolling shaft rotates, thereby causing the ring chain to move, thereby realizing the transmission of objects.

[0061] For example, the battery cell is a sheet structure with a small thickness and a relatively large plane size, and its surface is relatively smooth and flat. Therefore, it is possible to consider configuring an adsorption structure in the conveyor line for temporary adsorption as needed; the structure in direct contact with the battery cell can be a silicone or resin cushion, which is firmly adsorbed under the action of negative pressure when in contact with the battery cell. The battery cell is displaced by the transmission of the conveyor line, and the battery cell is released when needed, so as to facilitate the lateral displacement of the conveying mechanism 20. It can be known that the conveying mechanism 10 is provided with a material unloading station. Therefore, when the battery cell is conveyed to the unloading station, the conveying mechanism 20 transports the battery cell laterally at the unloading station.

[0062] In order to facilitate the handling and aligning of the battery cells and shorten the operation cycle, the aligning mechanism 30 is arranged on the side of the conveying track. The aligning mechanism 30 is also provided with an aligning station parallel to the unloading station. Therefore, the aligning mechanism 30 aligns the battery cell group at the aligning station; the aligning method of the battery cells is to abut against the battery cell group on one side.

[0063] In a preferred embodiment, the tidying mechanism 30 may include a first tidying plate 301 , a transfer mechanism and a first driving member 3011 that cooperate with each other.

[0064] The transfer mechanism can carry the battery cell group that is transported and released by the transport mechanism 20 at the arranging station of the arranging mechanism 30. Preferably, the transfer mechanism is arranged parallel to and adjacent to the transmission mechanism 10, and the transfer mechanism is also used to transport the arranging battery cell group to the next station; for example, the transfer mechanism transports the battery cell group to the aforementioned buffer mechanism 40. A linear module can be configured in the transfer mechanism to drive the battery cell group so that it can be transported.

[0065] In order to realize the conveying of the battery cells to the next workstation via the transfer mechanism, in some examples, the transfer mechanism includes a plurality of second adsorption components 603 and a fourth driving member.

[0066] Each of the plurality of second adsorption components 603 is used to carry a corresponding battery cell at the regularization station; and each of the plurality of second adsorption components 603 is configured to move independently and controlled. The fourth driving member cooperating with the second adsorption component 603 is used to drive the plurality of second adsorption components 603 to move from the regularization station to the next station. In addition, the fourth driving member is also used to adjust the spacing between two adjacent second adsorption components 603 during the movement of the plurality of second adsorption components 603 to adjust the arrangement between the battery cells.

[0067] After the cell group is aligned, in order to ensure that the posture of the cell group received by the subsequent process meets the requirements, a mechanism related to posture confirmation can be configured in the cell alignment device 100. For example, the cell alignment device 100 can also include a visual recognition mechanism 601 and a light source 602 that form a cell group alignment recognition area.

[0068] The visual recognition mechanism 601 is vertically arranged on the transfer mechanism, and the light source 602 is arranged at the regularization station of the regularization mechanism 30 and is located below the travel of the transfer mechanism. That is, the light source 602 generates an upward light beam toward the visual recognition mechanism 601. The light source 602 illuminates the area above it, and correspondingly illuminates the cells passing through these areas, so that the visual recognition mechanism 601 can identify the cells (groups) below it, so as to facilitate the identification of whether the posture after regularization meets the requirements.

[0069] In other words, the light source 602 cooperates with the visual recognition mechanism 601 (such as a camera) directly above to detect the position of the battery cell group. After the first regularization plate 301 regularizes, the alignment and spacing of the battery cell group are detected. If unqualified, regularization is performed again.

[0070] The first tidying plate 301 is located at a side of the tidying station away from the transmission mechanism 10 , and the first driving member 3011 is used to drive the first tidying plate 301 to laterally contact the transfer mechanism and tidy up the battery cell group carried on the transfer mechanism.

[0071] In the above manner, the first aligning plate 301 abuts against the battery cells from one side of the battery cell group, so that the battery cell group is aligned. Considering the possible differences in the postures of different battery cells, the first aligning plate 301 fails to be aligned as planned, so the aligning mechanism 30 can also include a second aligning plate 302 and a third driving member 303 that cooperate with each other.

[0072] The second regularized plate 302 is located on the side of the regularized station close to the transmission mechanism 10. Therefore, it can be understood that the first regularized plate 301 and the second regularized plate 302 are on both sides of the transfer mechanism. In addition, the first regularized plate 301 is on a side away from the transmission mechanism 10, while the second regularized plate 302 is on the other side close to the transmission mechanism 10. Preferably, the first regularized plate 301 and the second regularized plate 302 are arranged opposite to each other; both have a direction along the conveying track of the transmission mechanism 10, and the lengths of the two regularized plates are the same.

[0073] The third driving member 303 can drive the second regularizing plate 302 to slide horizontally, so that the second regularizing plate 302 laterally abuts against the battery cells, thereby regularizing the battery cell groups carried by the transfer mechanism. In this way, through the first regularizing plate 301 and the second regularizing plate 302, the two parallel sides of the battery cell group abut against the battery cell group facing each other, thereby achieving the regularization of the battery cell groups in place.

[0074] In the case where the first regularization plate 301 and the second regularization plate 302 are configured at the same time, considering that the second regularization plate 302 is not always used (i.e., the first regularization plate is used to complete the regularization), in order to avoid the second regularization plate 302 affecting the transportation and handling of the battery cell group, the second regularization plate 302 can be designed to increase the degree of freedom of vertical lifting. Correspondingly, the regularization mechanism 30 also includes a second driving member 3021 configured on the same side as the second regularization plate 302. The second driving member 3021 is used to drive the second regularization plate 302 to move up and down.

[0075] In this way, the descending second aligning plate 302 can leave the plane of the conveying track of the transmission mechanism 10, thereby providing sufficient working space for the handling and transportation of the battery cell group. When necessary, the second aligning mechanism rises / lifts, and combined with its lateral movement (away from or close to the battery cell group), it cooperates with the first aligning mechanism to make the battery cell group transported and carried on the transfer mechanism be alignable.

[0076] Based on the above-mentioned spatial position distribution mode of the transmission mechanism 10 and the arranging mechanism 30—staggered and side by side—the transport mechanism 20 is arranged above the transmission mechanism 10 and the arranging mechanism 30. Therefore, the transport mechanism 20 has a component that moves back and forth between the transmission mechanism and the arranging mechanism 30 in the transverse direction, and in this way, when in use, the battery cell group can be transferred from the unloading station of the transmission mechanism 10 to the arranging station of the arranging mechanism 30 in the transverse direction relative to the conveying track of the transmission mechanism 10.

[0077] In some examples, the transport mechanism 20 includes a support frame 201 and a movable arm 202 .

[0078] The support frame 201 is mounted above the transmission mechanism 10 and the arranging mechanism 30, that is, the support frame 201 spans the transmission mechanism 10 and the arranging mechanism 30. There is a gap between the support frame 201 and the transmission mechanism 10 and the arranging mechanism 30, and the gap serves as a movement space for the movable arm 202.

[0079] Correspondingly, the movable arm 202 is slidably disposed on the support frame 201. The sliding engagement method is, for example, that the support frame 201 is provided with a track, and the movable arm 202 is provided with a roller that rolls in contact with the track. Alternatively, the support frame 201 is provided with a slide groove, and the movable arm 202 is correspondingly provided with a slider, and the slider is in contact with the slide groove plane and slides in contact.

[0080] In these examples, the movable arm 202 is configured to pick up the battery cell group from the unloading station of the transmission mechanism 10 and drive the battery cell group to move laterally relative to the conveying track to the arranging station of the arranging mechanism 30 .

[0081] As a method of transferring the battery cell group, the transport mechanism 20 further includes a first adsorption component mounted on the movable arm 202. The transport mechanism 20 adsorbs the battery cell group by negative pressure through the first adsorption component, and as the first adsorption component of the movable arm 202 is controlled to a negative pressure state, for example, the battery cell group is adsorbed under negative pressure and released under positive pressure.

[0082] Preferably, the number of first adsorption components can be multiple, such as more than two. Each first adsorption component adsorbs a battery cell, and each first adsorption component is configured to move independently and controlled. Therefore, according to the number of battery cells, the state of each adsorption component is selectively operated. By adjusting the number of adsorption components, the contact area between the adsorption component and the battery cell can be controlled, thereby improving the force applied to each adsorption component and reducing the force applied to the battery cell locally.

[0083] Through the above structure, the battery cell group is arranged, and then the battery cells can be transported to other stations, and another additional conveying mechanism can be set in the arrangement device, and then the battery cell group is transported from another conveying mechanism to the unloading station (disengagement station 50) through the other conveying mechanism. At this time, the battery cell group can leave the arrangement device.

[0084] In summary, the cell aligning device in the example of this application realizes the transfer of cells by setting the layout positions of the transmission mechanism and the aligning mechanism of the cell group (offset and parallel) between the two through the transport mechanism. Overall, the cell aligning device of this application realizes the operation process of battery transportation and aligning. When the transport mechanism transports the battery, the aligning mechanism is placed sideways, so the distance moved along the transport direction is smaller, and the transport rhythm is faster.
