Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of battery pack integration, and more specifically, to a storage and automatic feeding device for battery pack integrated busbars and busbars. Background Art

[0002] The storage and automatic feeding device for battery pack integrated busbars and busbars is a device applied in the battery pack manufacturing industry, used for storing integrated busbars and busbars and capable of realizing the automatic feeding function. The device is provided with multiple groups of magazine-type bins, and a large number of busbar materials can be manually put in at one time for storage. The device has functions such as automatic sliding in and out, lifting and pushing the busbars, intelligent sensing of the material state, and cooperating with external robots for automatic material taking and assembly. For example, in actual application, after the device is started, it automatically slides out. After the busbar materials are manually put in, the device slides into the equipment. Through a series of driving and sensing devices, whenever an external robot takes away a busbar, the device will automatically supply one piece, realizing the automatic feeding of the busbars, improving the production efficiency and the degree of automation of assembly.

When the bus material collection assembly is required, the stepper motor module 304 in the support component 3 starts working to drive the relevant components to move. At the same time, the lifting push rod 406 rises to lift the bus in the bus bus bin 404 upwards. When the bus moves to the sensing position of the in-place sensor 405, the in-place sensor 405 senses the bus. At this time, the material picking robot 2 takes the bus for assembly. When the in-place sensor 405 senses that the bus is taken away, the stepper motor module 304 drives again, and the lifting push rod 406 continues to lift the next bus.

When the bus material in the bin is taken out, the discharge assembly 4 automatically slides out of the equipment from the inside to the outside of the equipment. The equipment also sends out sound and light alarm signals to prompt the operator to manually put material into the bus bus bin 404 again.
