Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of battery case detection, in particular to a battery case detector. Background Art

[0002] A battery refers to a cup, trough or other container or partial space of a composite container containing an electrolyte solution and metal electrodes to generate current, and is a device that can convert chemical energy into electrical energy. During the production process of the battery, the battery case needs to be processed, and after the battery case is formed, a detection device is required to detect the appearance of the battery case.

[0003] For traditional detection devices, generally, the formed battery cases are placed in a clamping module, and the appearance of the battery cases is detected by a line scan camera. Only one group of battery cases can be clamped and detected at a time, resulting in a large amount of time required for the detection work of the battery cases, reducing the working efficiency of the detection device. At the same time, the staff needs to carry the battery box containing the battery cases to the side of the detection device, and the staff needs to spend a lot of time on the feeding work, resulting in an increase in the working intensity of the staff and a decrease in the detection efficiency of the battery cases.

[0004] In view of the above technical problems, a battery steel case appearance detection device disclosed in the patent publication number CN210935976U includes a cross beam, a fixed column, a bracket and a sleeve. A cross beam is arranged above the bracket. A feeding lead screw is arranged at the middle position inside the cross beam. An electric cylinder is installed on the cross beam. A processing box is arranged below the electric cylinder. The piston rod of the electric cylinder is connected to the processing box. A rotating motor is installed inside the processing box. The output shaft of the rotating motor is connected to the fixed column. An adjustment box is arranged at the upper position inside the fixed column. A bidirectional threaded rod is installed at the middle position inside the adjustment box. The bidirectional threaded rod is rotatably connected to the adjustment box. A sleeve is horizontally installed on the bracket on one side of the fixed column. In the utility model, by arranging the fixed column and the sleeve, the fixing range of the device is increased, the measurement accuracy of the device is increased, and the problem of the steel case falling off during measurement is avoided.

[0005] According to the above-introduced detection device, only one group of battery cases can be clamped and detected at a time, resulting in a large amount of time required for the detection work of the battery cases, reducing the working efficiency of the detection device. At the same time, the staff needs to carry the battery box containing the battery cases to the side of the detection device, and the staff needs to spend a lot of time on the feeding work, resulting in an increase in the working intensity of the staff and a decrease in the detection efficiency of the battery cases. Therefore, we need to propose a battery case detector. Summary of the Utility Model

At the bottom end of the inner cavity of the workbench 1, a collection assembly 9 for collecting the battery cases after detection is installed;

[0032] Put several groups of battery cases into the feeding mechanism 7, start the feeding mechanism 7 to load the battery cases into several groups of clamping modules 6. Subsequently, start the rotating assembly 4 to drive the rotating table 5 to rotate. The rotating table 5 drives the battery cases to move towards the line scan camera 8 for appearance detection. It realizes clamping and fixing of multiple groups of battery cases at one time. Starting the feeding mechanism 2 can convey the battery cases to the side of the workbench 1, avoiding the feeding work of the staff for the battery cases, thereby improving the detection speed of the battery cases, increasing the working efficiency of the detection device, reducing the working intensity of the staff, and improving the detection efficiency of the battery cases.

When the battery case moves through the sensor 12, the clamping module 6 is fully opened, and the staff takes out the inspected battery case.

[0041] The upper surface of the support base 3 is fixedly connected with a strip light source 13. The strip light source 13 is arranged directly in front of the line scan camera 8. There are six groups of strip light sources 13, and each group of strip light sources 13 has two. Through the setting of the strip light source 13, both ends of the line scan camera 8 are blocked to avoid interference from other battery cases during detection, which may affect the detection result.

The rotating platform 5 continues to rotate to drive the battery case to move towards the position of the line scan camera 8. The appearance of the battery case is scanned by the line scan camera 8. Then the rotating platform 5 drives the battery case to move through the area array camera 11, so that the clamping module 6 starts to release the battery case. When the battery case moves through the sensor 12, the clamping module 6 completely releases the battery case. The staff takes out the scanned battery case and puts it into the collection box 91 for collection, thereby improving the detection speed of the battery case, increasing the working efficiency of the detection device, reducing the working intensity of the staff, and improving the detection efficiency of the battery case.
