Description

[0002] A soft-pack battery pack is formed by stacking multiple groups of soft-pack batteries. Between adjacent soft-pack batteries, it is necessary to place separator plates, assembly brackets, foam, etc. Each component is stacked and assembled in a certain order and then packed with a steel belt to form a battery pack. In order to improve the stacking stability of the batteries, it is necessary to coat glue on the batteries first and then assemble them with other components. On traditional equipment, each assembly component is transported to the assembly station through separate equipment, resulting in a bulky equipment structure and high equipment manufacturing costs. In order to make full use of the transportation structure, reduce the floor space and cost of the equipment, it is necessary to integrate the transportation of the batteries and separator plates. In view of this, a glue spraying mechanism for the surface of a battery is made to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0018] The present utility model will be further described below with reference to the drawings:

[0019] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, a glue - spraying mechanism for the battery surface includes a first frame 1 and a first handling mechanism 2, a second handling mechanism 3, a positioning carrier 4, a loading mechanism 5, an ear - folding mechanism 6, a flipping mechanism 7, a glue - applying mechanism 8, and a blanking mechanism 9 fixed on the first frame 1. The first handling mechanism 2 includes a first X - axis driving component 21, a first Z - axis driving component 22, and a first carrier 23. The first X - axis driving component 21 is fixed above the first frame 1. Two groups of first Z - axis driving components 22 are provided and are both connected to the power output end of the first X - axis driving component 21. The first carrier 23 is fixed to the power output end of the first Z - axis driving component 22. The structure of the second handling mechanism 3 is the same as that of the first handling mechanism 2 and is connected to the right end of the first handling mechanism 2. Five groups of positioning carriers 4 are provided and are evenly arranged in the left - right direction above the two groups of first X - axis driving components 21. The loading mechanism 5, the ear - folding mechanism 6, the flipping mechanism 7, the glue - applying mechanism 8, and the blanking mechanism 9 correspond to the five groups of positioning carriers 4 in sequence. The loading mechanism 5 includes a separator loading bin 51, a loading manipulator 52, and a loading barcode scanner 53 all fixed on the first frame 1. The separator loading bin 51 and the loading barcode scanner 53 are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the positioning carrier 4, and the loading manipulator 52 corresponds to the left side of the positioning carrier 4.

[0020] The loading mechanism 5, the pole ear folding mechanism 6, the flipping mechanism 7, the glue coating mechanism 8, and the unloading mechanism 9 respectively correspond to five groups of positioning carriers 4. That is, the five groups of positioning carriers 4 are respectively at the loading station, the pole ear folding station, the flipping station, the glue coating station, and the unloading station. Two groups of first carriers 23 are arranged on both the first handling mechanism 2 and the second handling mechanism 3. The first handling mechanism 2 transports the workpieces at the loading station and the pole ear folding station to the pole ear folding station and the flipping station respectively through the two groups of first carriers 23. The second handling mechanism 3 transports the workpieces at the flipping station and the glue coating station to the glue coating station and the unloading station respectively through the two groups of first carriers 23. In the previous process, the battery is conveyed to the left side of the first rack 1. The loading manipulator 52 grabs a group of batteries and places them on the positioning carrier 4 at the loading station. After positioning, the loading barcode scanner 53 scans the batteries. The first carrier 23 of the first handling mechanism 2 is located below the battery. The first Z-axis drive assembly 22 rises to lift the battery, and under the action of the first X-axis drive assembly 21, the battery is transported to the pole ear folding station. The first Z-axis drive assembly 22 lowers the battery, so that the battery falls on the positioning carrier 4 at the pole ear folding station. After positioning, the pole ear folding mechanism 6 shapes the pole ears of the battery. At the same time, the first handling mechanism 2 resets. The loading manipulator 52 grabs a group of separators in the separator loading bin 51 and places them on the positioning carrier 4 at the loading station. That is, the loading manipulator 52 alternately loads the batteries and the separators, and under the action of the first handling mechanism 2 and the second handling mechanism 3, they are transported to the right one by one through each station. After the battery is shaped, it is transported to the flipping mechanism 7 for flipping so as to coat the bottom surface of the battery subsequently. Then, the battery is transported to the glue coating mechanism 8, and the glue coating mechanism 8 coats the upper surface (i.e., the original bottom surface) of the battery. After coating, the battery is grabbed by the manipulator in the unloading mechanism 9 and flipped up and down so that the manipulator in the subsequent process can grab the coated battery. With the same transportation principle, the separator also passes through each station in turn and is flipped at the unloading station so as to facilitate the subsequent process to pick up the material. The advantage of this design is that it can perform processes such as pole ear folding, glue coating, and flipping on the battery on the same device, as well as convey the separator, making full use of the structural functions in the battery processing process, enabling it to also serve as a separator conveyor, forming an integrated design for battery and separator processing. This not only makes the structure of the device more concise, improves production efficiency, but also reduces the equipment cost.

[0021] The flipping mechanism 7 includes a second Z-axis driving component 71, a first lifting bracket 72, a first rotating driving component 73, a jaw cylinder 74, an upper jaw 75 and a lower jaw 76. The lower end of the second Z-axis driving component 71 is fixed on the first frame 1. The first lifting bracket 72 is fixed on the power output end of the second Z-axis driving component 71. The first rotating driving component 73 is fixed on the first lifting bracket 72. The jaw cylinder 74 is fixed on the power output end of the first rotating driving component 73. Both the upper jaw 75 and the lower jaw 76 are fixed on the power output end of the jaw cylinder 74. Both the upper jaw 75 and the lower jaw 76 face the first carrier 23. Two sets of flipping mechanisms 7 are provided and are respectively corresponding to the front and rear sides of the positioning carrier 4.

[0022] The workpiece to be flipped is lifted by the first carrier 23. The second Z-axis driving component 71 drives the first lifting bracket 72 to descend. Then the jaw cylinder 74 drives the upper jaw 75 and the lower jaw 76 to clamp the workpiece. The first lifting bracket 72 ascends. The first rotating driving component 73 drives the jaw cylinder 74 to rotate, so as to turn the workpiece upside down. The first lifting bracket 72 descends. The jaw cylinder 74 opens the upper jaw 75 and the lower jaw 76, and places the workpiece on the first carrier 23, thus completing the flipping process.

[0023] The glue coating mechanism 8 includes a mounting bracket 81, a first Y-axis driving component 82, a second X-axis driving component 83, a third Z-axis driving component 84 and a glue spraying head 85. The mounting bracket 81 is erected on the positioning carrier 4. The first Y-axis driving component 82 is fixed on the mounting bracket 81. The second X-axis driving component 83 is fixed on the power output end of the first Y-axis driving component 82. The third Z-axis driving component 84 is fixed on the power output end of the second X-axis driving component 83.

[0024] The first Y-axis driving component 82, the second X-axis driving component 83 and the third Z-axis driving component 84 drive the glue spraying head 85 to move in various directions, so as to coat glue on specific positions of the battery.

[0025] The blanking mechanism 9 includes a fourth Z-axis driving component 91, a second lifting bracket 92, a second rotating driving component 93, a rotating shaft rod 94, a first suction cup assembly 95 and a second suction cup assembly 96. The lower end of the fourth Z-axis driving component 91 is fixed on the first frame 1. The second lifting bracket 92 is fixed on the power output end of the fourth Z-axis driving component 91. The second rotating driving component 93 is fixed on the second lifting bracket 92. The front end of the rotating shaft rod 94 is fixed on the power output end of the second rotating driving component 93. The rotating shaft rod 94 corresponds to the upper part of the positioning carrier 4. The first suction cup assembly 95 and the second suction cup assembly 96 are respectively fixed on the upper and lower sides of the rotating shaft rod 94.

[0026] At the blanking station, the first carrier 23 lifts the workpiece, the fourth Z-axis drive assembly 91 drives the second lifting bracket 92 to descend, the second suction cup assembly 96 adsorbs the workpiece, after the second lifting bracket 92 ascends, the second rotation drive assembly 93 drives the rotating shaft rod 94 to rotate, so that the first suction cup assembly 95 and the second suction cup assembly 96 are turned over up and down, and the workpiece is also turned over up and down accordingly.

[0027] The above does not impose any limitation on the technical scope of the present utility model. Any modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
