[0026] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art in the technical field of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific implementations and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0027] See also Figures 1 to 3 A battery sealing and loading machine 10 includes: a jig conveying mechanism 100 and a battery transfer mechanism 200, wherein the jig conveying mechanism 100 includes a jig 110, a jig fixing assembly 120 and a jig conveying assembly 130, the jig 110 is arranged on the jig fixing assembly 120, the jig fixing assembly 120 is arranged on the jig conveying assembly 130, and the jig conveying assembly 130 is used to drive the jig fixing assembly 120 to reciprocate in the horizontal direction; the battery transfer mechanism 200 includes an adsorption assembly 210, a transfer drive assembly 220 and a support frame 230, the transfer drive assembly 220 is arranged on the support frame 230, the adsorption assembly 210 is arranged above the jig conveying mechanism 100 through the transfer drive assembly 220, and the transfer drive assembly 220 is used to drive the adsorption assembly 210 to move in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction.

[0028] It should be noted that the battery sealing loader 10 is mainly used for the turnover of batteries between the flat pressing device and the sealing device, wherein the jig 110 is used to place the battery. After the flat pressing operation in the flat pressing device, the jig 110 is directly transferred to the jig fixing assembly 120 for clamping, and then the jig conveying assembly 130 conveys the jig 110 containing the battery to be sealed to the working area of ​​the battery transfer mechanism 200, and the transfer drive assembly 220 is started to drive the adsorption assembly 210 to adsorb and remove the battery in the jig 110, and then transfer it to the sealing device, thereby realizing the rapid transfer of batteries between the flat pressing device and the sealing device, reducing manual operations and improving production efficiency.

[0029] Among them, the fixture 110 includes a base 111, a limiting plate 112 and a plurality of height limiting blocks 113. The limiting plate 112 is arranged on the base 111. The limiting plate 112 has a plurality of evenly distributed first limiting holes, each of which is used to accommodate a battery. The four end corners of the limiting plate 112 are respectively provided with second limiting holes, and each second limiting hole is used to place a height limiting block 113. During the flat pressing operation, the flat pressing device drives the flat pressing plate to move toward the fixture 110 until it is in contact with the height limiting block 113. The height limiting block 113 serves to limit the height of the flat pressing to prevent excessive flat pressing from causing the battery height to be lower than a predetermined value. After the flat pressing operation, the fixture 110 can be directly transferred to the battery sealing loader 10 by a manipulator; by replacing the height limiting blocks 113 of different heights, it can be suitable for batteries of different heights.

[0030] See also Figures 1 to 3 Furthermore, the jig conveying assembly 130 includes a conveying cylinder 131 and a sliding plate 132. The sliding plate 132 is arranged on the conveying cylinder 131. The conveying cylinder 131 drives the sliding plate 132 to reciprocate in the horizontal direction. Among them, the conveying cylinder 131 can be a rodless cylinder, which has a simple and compact structure, and can make the structure of the battery sealing feeder 10 more compact. The sliding plate 132 is used to install the jig fixing assembly 120. The conveying cylinder 131 is mainly used to convey the jig 110 from one end close to the flat pressing device to the working area below the battery transfer mechanism 200.

[0031] See also Figure 3 Furthermore, the jig fixing assembly 120 is arranged on the sliding plate 132, and the jig fixing assembly 120 includes a fixture positioning plate 121 and a clamping device 122, the fixture positioning plate 121 is used to place the jig 110, and the clamping device 122 includes a clamping drive 1221 and a clamping block 1222. A limiting structure 1211 is provided on the jig positioning plate 121, and the clamping drive 1221 is used to drive the clamping block 1222 so that the jig 110 is fixed between the limiting structure 1211 and the clamping block 1222.

[0032] It should be noted that the fixture positioning plate 121 and the clamping drive 1221 are arranged on the sliding plate 132, and the jig 110 is placed on the fixture positioning plate 121 and initially positioned by the limiting structure 1211, and then the clamping drive 1221 drives the clamping block 1222 to fix the jig 110 to prevent the jig 110 from shifting during the transmission process, resulting in inaccurate alignment of the adsorption component 210 and the jig 110, thereby affecting the efficiency of the battery adsorption transfer.

[0033] See also Figure 3 Furthermore, the limiting structure 1211 includes a first limiting block 1211a and a second limiting block 1211b, which are respectively arranged at the two ends of the fixture positioning plate 121, the first limiting block 1211a is a concave structure, and the second limiting block 1211b is an L-shaped structure. The first limiting block 1211a and the second limiting block 1211b are together used to limit three end corners of the fixture 110; the clamping block 1222 is an L-shaped structure, and the clamping drive 1221 is used to drive the clamping block 1222 to move toward or away from the fixture 110. When in the clamping state, the clamping block 1222 is against the end corner of the fixture 110 away from the limiting structure 1211.

[0034] It should be noted that the jig 110 is generally square in shape. When the jig 110 is conventionally transferred, a square groove is simply set on the carrier plate, and then the jig 110 is placed in the square groove for limited transfer. However, this method makes it inconvenient to remove the jig 110. At the same time, there is a gap between the square groove and the jig 110, and the jig 110 is easily displaced during the movement. For a micro battery, if the battery and the adsorption component 210 cannot be accurately aligned, the adsorption effect of the adsorption component 210 on the battery may be directly reduced during the transfer process. The battery may fall off, so the first limit block 1211a and the second limit block 1211b are used in the utility model to initially limit three end corners of the fixture 110, and then the clamping drive member drives the clamping block 1222 to abut against the last end corner, so that the fixture 110 is clamped between the first limit block 1211a, the second limit block 1211b and the clamping block 1222, ensuring that the fixture 110 will not shift during the transmission process, thereby improving the alignment accuracy of the battery to be sealed in the fixture 110 and the adsorption component 210.

[0035] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 For further information, see Figure 1Furthermore, the transfer drive component 220 includes a Y-axis drive module 221, an X-axis drive module 222 and a Z-axis drive module 223. The Y-axis drive module 221 is arranged on the support frame 230, one end of the X-axis drive module 222 is arranged on the Y-axis drive module 221, and the Z-axis drive module 223 is arranged on the X-axis drive module 222. The Y-axis drive module 221, the X-axis drive module 222 and the Z-axis drive module 223 cooperate with each other to drive the adsorption component 210 to move along the Y-axis, the X-axis and the Z-axis.

[0036] It should be noted that when the jig conveying mechanism 100 conveys the jig 110 to the working area of ​​the battery transfer mechanism 200, the X-axis drive module 222 mainly drives the adsorption component 210 to align the batteries on the jig 110 row by row, and the Z-axis drive module 223 drives the adsorption component 210 to move downward to adsorb the batteries and move upward to remove the batteries from the jig 110. The Y-axis drive module 221 performs the operation of transferring the adsorption component 210 from above the jig 110 to the sealing device of the next workstation.

[0037] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 Furthermore, the Y-axis driving module 221 includes a first linear cylinder 2211, a slide rail 2212 and a mounting seat 2213. The linear cylinder and the slide rail 2212 are arranged side by side on the support frame 230. A slide table is arranged on the first linear cylinder 2211, and a slide seat is arranged on the slide rail 2212. Both ends of the mounting seat 2213 are respectively connected to the slide table and the slide seat, and the X-axis driving module 222 is arranged on the mounting seat 2213.

[0038] It should be noted that, during operation, the Y-axis driving module 221 drives the X-axis driving module 222 to move back and forth. In order to improve the movement stability of the X-axis driving module 222, a slide rail 2212 structure is added. When the first linear cylinder 2211 drives the slide to drive the X-axis driving module 222, the slide seat moves synchronously along the slide rail 2212. In this way, double-line support is adopted to support the movement of the X-axis driving module 222. At the same time, buffers are also provided at both ends of the slide rail 2212. When the first linear cylinder 2211 drives the mounting seat 2213 to move to one end of the slide rail 2212, the buffer is used to buffer the mounting seat 2213.

[0039] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2Further, the X-axis driving module 222 includes a second linear cylinder 2221 and a fixing plate 2222. The second linear cylinder 2221 is arranged on the fixing plate 2222. One end of the fixing plate 2222 is arranged on the mounting seat 2213, and a reinforcing block 2223 is arranged between the fixing plate 2222 and the mounting seat 2213. In this way, the second linear cylinder 2221 can be stably arranged on the mounting seat 2213 through the structure of the fixing plate 2222 and the reinforcing block 2223.

[0040] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 Further, the Z-axis driving module 223 includes a lifting cylinder 2231 and a mounting plate 2232, the mounting plate 2232 is connected to the lifting cylinder 2231, the mounting plate 2232 is used to install the adsorption assembly 210, the lifting cylinder 2231 is arranged on the second linear cylinder 2221, the second linear cylinder 2221 drives the lifting cylinder 2231 to move in the horizontal direction toward or away from the fixture 110, and the lifting cylinder 2231 drives the adsorption assembly 210 to move in the vertical direction toward or away from the fixture 110. Among them, the mounting plate 2232 is arranged in the horizontal direction, and the lifting cylinder 2231 drives the mounting plate 2232 to move up and down, thereby driving the adsorption assembly 210 to move up and down.

[0041] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 Furthermore, the adsorption assembly 210 includes a plurality of adsorption members 211 , which are arranged on the mounting plate 2232 , and a downward end of each adsorption member 211 is a vacuum suction cup, and the other end of the adsorption member 211 is connected to the vacuum generator 212 .

[0042] It should be noted that a buffer structure is provided on the adsorption member 211 to prevent the vacuum suction cup or the battery from being damaged by excessive impact when the vacuum suction cup abuts against the battery. The adsorption member 211 is connected to the vacuum generator 212 through a connecting pipe, which is not drawn in the figure.
