Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of battery manufacturing technology, and in particular to a battery glue nail detection machine. Background Art

[0002] After the battery is filled with liquid once, in order to ensure that the battery will not be soaked by the water content in the air, it is necessary to immediately apply glue nails after the injection to block the injection hole on the battery with glue nails to prevent other external factors from contaminating the battery. Similarly, before the second injection, the glue nails on the battery must be removed. After the second injection is completed, it is also necessary to apply glue nails to block the injection hole on the battery with glue nails to prevent other external factors from contaminating the battery.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to avoid the situation where the battery has too high water content due to the lack of glue nails, which leads to the battery quality being unqualified. Therefore, verifying whether the glue nails are on the battery's injection hole and correctly blocking the injection hole has become an urgent problem to be solved. In view of this, the present application provides a battery glue nail detection machine, in order to achieve the purpose of being able to detect whether there are glue nails on the battery injection port and whether the glue nails are inserted in place. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present application embodiment provides a battery glue nail detection machine, including:

[0006] A conveying mechanism for conveying batteries;

[0007] A lifting mechanism, comprising a lifting platform disposed above the conveying mechanism;

[0008] The detection mechanism comprises a vertical rod slidably connected to the lifting platform, and a stopper fixed on the vertical rod. The lifting platform is provided with a lifting member for lifting the stopper, and a sensor for detecting the height of the vertical rod.

[0010] In some embodiments, a cross bar is installed on the lifting member, and the number of the vertical bars is two or more, and the two or more vertical bars are all supported by the same cross bar to hold up the stopper thereon.

[0011] In some embodiments, a first bracket is installed on the conveying mechanism, and the lifting mechanism further includes a first driving member installed on the first bracket and used for driving the lifting platform to move up and down.

[0012] In some embodiments, a first linear guide rail for guiding the lifting table is provided between the first bracket and the lifting table.

[0013] In some embodiments, the conveying mechanism includes a conveyor belt for conveying the battery, a guiding assembly for guiding the battery, and a blocking assembly for intercepting the battery.

[0014] In some embodiments, the guiding assembly includes a second bracket mounted on the conveyor belt, and guiding rods that are hoisted and fixed on the second bracket and are arranged at intervals transversely along the conveyor belt. Guide wheels are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the guiding rods.

[0015] In some embodiments, the second bracket is fixedly connected to the guiding rod through a suspension rod, and a transverse strip-shaped hole for mounting the suspension rod is provided on the second bracket.

A jacking member for lifting the blocking block is arranged on the lifting table, and a sensor for detecting the height of the vertical rod.

[0020] Since the jacking member lifts the vertical rod through the blocking block, the jacking member can be controlled to contract, and the vertical rod can be used to slide down to contact the battery. When the glue nails on the battery are qualified, the glue nails will jack up the vertical rod. When the position of the glue nails on the battery is too deep or there are no glue nails, the height position of the vertical rod will be relatively lower than the height position when the glue nails are qualified.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0030] In response to the deficiencies or one of the deficiencies proposed in the above background art, the embodiments of the present application provide a battery glue nail detector, which can detect whether there is a glue nail at the battery liquid injection port and whether the glue nail is inserted in place.

[0031] See Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present application provides a battery glue nail detector, including:

[0032] A conveying mechanism for conveying the battery;

[0033] A lifting mechanism, which includes a lifting table 1 arranged above the conveying mechanism;

[0034] A detection mechanism, which includes a vertical rod 2 slidably connected to the lifting table 1 and a stopper 3 fixed on the vertical rod 2. A jacking member 4 for supporting the stopper 3 is arranged on the lifting table 1, and a sensor 5 for detecting the height of the vertical rod 2 is provided.

[0035] The battery glue nail detector of the embodiment of the present application is provided with a conveying mechanism and a lifting mechanism. A lifting table 1 is arranged on the lifting mechanism, and a detection mechanism is arranged on the lifting table 1. The lifting table 1 can adjust its height according to the battery on the conveying mechanism, and the detection mechanism can detect the battery after the plugging process to check whether there is a glue nail on the liquid injection port of the battery and whether the glue nail is inserted in place.

[0036] Specifically, the lifting table 1 is adjusted to a suitable height according to the height of the battery, and then the battery is conveyed to the lower part of the lifting table 1 by the conveying mechanism, and the liquid injection port of the battery is located directly below the vertical rod 2 of the detection mechanism. The jacking member 4 on the lifting table 1 is controlled to contract. After the stopper 3 on the vertical rod 2 loses the support of the jacking member 4, the vertical rod 2 will slide down along the lifting table 1 under the action of gravity, and the bottom end of the vertical rod 2 will contact the battery first.

[0037] When the glue nail on the battery is qualified, the glue nail will push the vertical rod 2 upward, and the sensor 5 on the lifting table 1 will detect the height of the vertical rod 2 at this time, and then it can be known that the position of the glue nail on the battery is appropriate. When the position of the glue nail on the battery is too deep or there is no glue nail, the height position of the vertical rod 2 will be relatively lower than the height position when the glue nail is qualified. By detecting the height position of the vertical rod 2 by the sensor 5 at this time, it can be known that the position of the glue nail on the battery is too deep or there is no glue nail.

[0038] It should be noted that the lifting table 1 in this embodiment can adjust the height of the detection mechanism, which is convenient for lifting the detection mechanism as a whole to achieve compatibility with batteries of different heights during glue nail detection.

[0039] In some alternative embodiments: Refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present application provides a battery glue nail detector. The sensor 5 of this battery glue nail detector is installed directly above the vertical rod 2, or the sensor 5 is installed laterally to the vertical rod 2.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, when the sensor 5 is installed directly above the vertical rod 2, the sensor 5 can determine the height position of the vertical rod 2 by detecting the distance from it to the top of the vertical rod 2; when the sensor 5 is installed laterally to the vertical rod 2, the sensor 5 can determine the height position of the vertical rod 2 by detecting whether the top of the vertical rod 2 appears in the detection direction.

[0041] Exemplarily, the sensor 5 can be a diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor 5 or a transmissive photoelectric sensor 5. When using the diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor 5, the diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor 5 can be installed directly above the vertical rod 2 through an L-shaped bracket; when using the transmissive photoelectric sensor 5, the transmissive photoelectric sensor 5 can be installed on both sides of the vertical rod 2 through two L-shaped brackets respectively.

A cross bar 6 is installed on the lifting member 4 of the battery glue nail detector. The number of vertical rods 2 is two or more, and two or more vertical rods 2 are all supported by the same cross bar 6 at their upper stoppers 3.

[0043] A cross bar 6 is installed on the lifting member 4 in the embodiment of the present application. Two or more vertical rods 2 slidably connected to the lifting table 1 are provided. The lifting member 4 simultaneously supports the stoppers 3 on two or more vertical rods 2 through the cross bar 6, thereby assisting in simultaneously detecting the glue nails of two or more batteries.

[0044] Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the lifting member 4 is a cylinder. The cross bar 6 is fixedly installed at the top of the cylinder. The number of vertical rods 2 is two. A sliding sleeve cooperating with the vertical rods 2 is fixed on the lifting table 1. The two vertical rods 2 pass upward through the sliding sleeve and then penetrate through the cross bar 6. A ring-shaped stopper 3 is sleeved and fixed at the top of the vertical rod 2 to facilitate the cross bar 6 to support.

[0045] When the lifting member 4 contracts, the stoppers 3 on the two vertical rods 2 lose the support of the cross bar 6. The two vertical rods 2 can simultaneously slide down along the sliding sleeve on the lifting table 1 under the action of gravity. The bottoms of the two vertical rods 2 correspondingly contact different batteries, and then two groups of sensors 5 are used to respectively detect the height positions of the two vertical rods 2, thereby enabling simultaneous glue nail detection of two batteries.

[0058] Exemplarily, the second bracket 13 includes a strip-shaped rod arranged horizontally along the conveyor belt 10, and cylindrical rods fixedly installed on both sides of the conveyor belt 10 to fixedly support the strip-shaped rod above the conveyor belt 10.

[0059] By tightening the upper and lower nuts, the strip-shaped rod can be clamped to fix the position of the hanging rod 16. When the horizontal position of the guide rod 14 needs to be adjusted horizontally, the lower nut can be loosened, and the hanging rod 16 can be pushed along the horizontal strip-shaped hole 17 to adjust the horizontal position of the guide rod 14 connected by the hanging rod 16. When the height position of the guide rod 14 needs to be adjusted, the upper and lower nuts can be rotated away from the strip-shaped rod, the hanging rod 16 can be lifted to an appropriate height, and then the upper and lower nuts can be rotated to clamp the strip-shaped rod.
