[0046] To make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. The described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0047] Accordingly, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0048] Embodiment 1:

[0049] Please refer to Figures 1 - 4 , a steel shell battery cell loading and positioning machine, including a conveying mechanism 100 for jig conveying, a first pressure maintaining mechanism 200 for maintaining pressure on the head of the battery cell in the jig, a second pressure maintaining mechanism 300 for maintaining pressure on the tabs of the battery cell in the jig, a first handling mechanism 400 for loading the steel shell battery cell, a first flipping mechanism 500 for flipping the steel shell battery cell, a sticker peeling mechanism 600, a second handling mechanism 700 for handling the steel shell battery cell, and a second flipping mechanism 800 for flipping the jig.

[0050] The first pressure maintaining mechanism 200, the second pressure maintaining mechanism 300, the sticker peeling mechanism 600, and the second flipping mechanism 800 are sequentially distributed along the conveying path of the conveying mechanism 100. The first flipping mechanism 500 is arranged adjacent to the first handling mechanism 400, and the second handling mechanism 700 operates between the first flipping mechanism 500 and the sticker peeling mechanism 600.

[0051] The operation objective of the steel shell battery cell loading and positioning machine provided in this embodiment is to place the jig loaded with a battery cell on the conveying mechanism 100 for conveying, and sequentially convey it to different mechanism positions through the conveying mechanism 100 for corresponding operations. Finally, it completes the operation of attaching the steel shell battery cell to the surface of the original battery cell in the jig and unloading and conveying the jig after flipping it.

[0052] During specific operations, the fixture is conveyed by the conveying mechanism 100 to the position of the first pressure-holding mechanism 200. After the first pressure-holding mechanism 200 performs pressure-holding on the head of the battery cell in the fixture, the fixture is then conveyed by the conveying mechanism 100 to the position of the second pressure-holding mechanism 300. After the second pressure-holding mechanism 300 performs pressure-holding on the tab of the battery cell in the fixture, the fixture is continuously conveyed by the conveying mechanism 100 to the position of the sticker-removing mechanism 600. The sticker-removing mechanism 600 removes the sticker on the surface of the battery cell in the fixture. While the conveying mechanism 100 conveys the fixture among the above-mentioned first pressure-holding mechanism 200, second pressure-holding mechanism 300, and sticker-removing mechanism 600, and the sticker-removing mechanism 600 has completed the sticker-removing operation, the first handling mechanism 400 picks up the steel shell battery cell from the tray loaded with the steel shell battery cells and places the steel shell battery cell at the position of the first flipping mechanism 500. The first flipping mechanism 500 completes the flipping operation of the steel shell battery cell. Then, the second handling mechanism 700 picks up the steel shell battery cell on the first flipping mechanism 500 and places it into the fixture corresponding to the position of the sticker-removing mechanism 600, attaching the steel shell battery cell to the surface of the original battery cell in the fixture. Finally, the fixture continues to move under the conveyance of the conveying mechanism 100 to the position corresponding to the second flipping mechanism 800. After the second flipping mechanism 800 performs the flipping operation on the fixture, the fixture is unloaded or conveyed to the next operation process position under the conveyance of the conveying mechanism 100.

[0053] A steel shell battery cell loading and positioning machine provided in this embodiment, after shaping the state of the original battery cell in the fixture through the first pressure-holding mechanism 200 for pressure-holding the head of the battery cell in the fixture and the second pressure-holding mechanism 300 for pressure-holding the tab of the battery cell in the fixture, then performs flipping and attaching feeding of the steel shell battery cell, so as to avoid the state of the head and tab of the original battery cell in the fixture affecting the attaching effect, effectively ensuring the operation quality, reducing the defective rate, and thus achieving the purpose of improving the operation efficiency.

[0054] Embodiment 2:

[0055] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that this embodiment further optimizes the structure of the feeding and positioning machine of the present utility model. Please refer to Figures 5 - 9 .

[0056] Refer to Figure 5 , a steel shell battery cell loading and positioning machine provided in this embodiment, its first handling mechanism 400 includes a first robot and a first material-taking module 410 and a second material-taking module 420 connected to the driving end of the first robot. The first material-taking module 410 is used for taking the steel shell battery cell, and the second material-taking module 420 is used for taking the tray, realizing the automatic material-taking of the steel shell battery cell and the automatic loading and unloading of the tray, effectively improving the operation efficiency.

[0057] Understandably, the tray loaded with the steel-shell battery cells is placed within the working range of the first handling mechanism 400. The first handling mechanism 400 transports the steel-shell battery cells at the tray to the first flipping mechanism 500 for flipping operation. Specifically, the first robot drives the first material taking module 410 to move above the corresponding steel-shell battery cell, picks up and places the steel-shell battery cell at the position of the first flipping mechanism 500. When the tray is in an empty state, the first robot drives the second material taking module 420 to unload the empty tray, achieving an automated operation effect.

[0058] For the unloading of the empty tray and the loading of the full tray, an automatic lifting storage bin mode can be adopted. The empty tray is automatically lowered for unloading, and the full tray is automatically lifted for loading. The first robot is mainly used to drive the second material taking module 420 to transport the empty tray from the automatic lifting loading station of the storage bin to the automatic lowering unloading station of the storage bin.

[0059] See Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the first flipping mechanism 500 includes a first flipping module 510 and a battery cell transfer and positioning module 520 disposed adjacent to the first flipping module 510.

[0060] The battery cells are transported to the position of the first flipping module 510 by the first handling mechanism 400. After the first flipping module 510 flips the steel-shell battery cells, the steel-shell battery cells are placed on the battery cell transfer and positioning module 520 for positioning to improve the accuracy of subsequent battery cell loading.

[0061] Furthermore, the first flipping module 510 includes a first lifting drive assembly 511, a first rotation drive assembly 512, and a first material suction platform 513; the first material suction platform 513 is connected to the drive end of the first rotation drive assembly 512, and the first rotation drive assembly 512 is connected to the drive end of the first lifting drive assembly 511 to achieve automated flipping operation of the steel-shell battery cells.

[0062] After the battery cells are transported to the position of the first material suction platform 513 by the first handling mechanism 400, the first material suction platform 513 generates a vacuum adsorption effect on the steel-shell battery cells. Subsequently, the first rotation drive assembly 512 drives the first material suction platform 513 to rotate 180 degrees, making the steel-shell battery cells face downward. Then, the first lifting drive assembly 511 drives the first material suction platform 513 to move downward to the upper end of the battery cell transfer and positioning module 520. After that, the first material suction platform 513 breaks the vacuum, and the steel-shell battery cells are placed on the battery cell transfer and positioning module 520, and the battery cell transfer and positioning module 520 positions the steel-shell battery cells.

[0063] Further, the battery cell transfer and positioning module 520 includes a first transverse movement driving component 521 and a second material suction platform 522; the second material suction platform 522 is connected to the driving end of the first transverse movement driving component 521 to achieve the effect of transferring and positioning the flipped steel shell battery cell, thereby improving the feeding accuracy of the battery cell.

[0064] After the first flipping mechanism 500 places the flipped steel shell battery cell on the second material suction platform 522, the second material suction platform 522 positions the steel shell battery cell and then generates a vacuum adsorption effect. Subsequently, the first transverse movement driving component 521 causes the second material suction platform 522 to move horizontally, enabling the second material suction platform 522 to move to the set material taking position of the second handling mechanism 700, so as to avoid interference with the material taking operation of the second handling mechanism 700 due to the first flipping module 510 being located above the battery cell transfer and positioning module 520.

[0065] See Figure 7 Furthermore, the first flipping mechanism 500 further includes a photographing module 530. The photographing module 530 is located above the battery cell transfer and positioning module 520. After obtaining the position information of the steel shell battery cell on the battery cell transfer and positioning module 520 through the photographing module 530 and providing the position information of the steel shell battery cell to the second handling mechanism 700, the second handling mechanism 700 adjusts its position to accurately take and feed the steel shell battery cell.

[0066] See Figure 8 In some embodiments, the sticker tearing mechanism 600 includes a second transverse movement driving component 610, a second lifting driving component 620, and a first jaw component 630; the first jaw component 630 is connected to the driving end of the second lifting driving component 620, and the second lifting driving component 620 is connected to the driving end of the second transverse movement driving component 610 to achieve the automated sticker tearing operation for the battery cell in the fixture.

[0067] It is known that a battery cell is loaded in the fixture, a sticker is attached to the surface of the battery cell, and there is a handle on the sticker. After the first jaw component 630 clamps the handle, under the combined action of the second lifting driving component 620 and the second transverse movement driving component 610, the sticker is torn off from the surface of the battery cell to achieve the operation effect of automated sticker tearing. After the sticker is torn off, the surface of the battery cell has adhesiveness, which facilitates the second handling mechanism 700 to carry and attach the steel shell battery cell to the surface of the battery cell.

[0068] See Figure 9 In some embodiments, the second flipping mechanism 800 includes a third lifting driving component 810, a second rotation driving component 820, and a second jaw component 830; the second jaw component 830 is connected to the driving end of the second rotation driving component 820, and the second rotation driving component 820 is connected to the driving end of the third lifting driving component 810 to achieve the automated flipping operation for the fixture.

[0069] After clamping the relative two sides of the fixture by the second jaw assembly 830, the second jaw assembly 830 rises under the action of the third lifting drive assembly 810. Subsequently, the second rotation drive assembly 820 rotates the fixture by 180 degrees. Then, the third lifting drive assembly 810 drives the second jaw assembly 830 to move downward. After the fixture returns to the position of the conveying mechanism 100, the second jaw assembly 830 releases the fixture, realizing the automatic flipping operation of the fixture.

[0070] Embodiment 3:

[0071] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that this embodiment further optimizes the structure of the feeding and positioning machine of the present utility model. Please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 .

[0072] A steel shell battery cell feeding and positioning machine provided in this embodiment further includes a switch clamping mechanism 900 for opening and closing the fixture. The switch clamping mechanism 900 is disposed opposite to the sticker tearing mechanism 600 to realize the automatic opening and closing operations of the fixture.

[0073] A sticker is attached to the surface of the battery cell in the fixture. Before tearing off the sticker, the fixture needs to be opened first. After attaching the steel shell battery cell to the surface of the battery cell in the fixture, the fixture needs to be closed. Therefore, at the position corresponding to the sticker tearing mechanism 600, a switch clamping mechanism 900 for opening and closing the fixture is also provided.

[0074] Furthermore, the switch clamping mechanism 900 includes an opening clamping module 910, a closing clamping module 920, and a vacuum pumping module 930. The closing clamping module 920 is located above the opening clamping module 910. The vacuum pumping module 930 is used to pump vacuum for the fixture to reduce the influence of the switch clamping operation on the position of the battery cell in the fixture.

[0075] It is known that the fixture usually includes a bottom shell and an upper cover that is snap-fitted to the bottom shell. On one side of the bottom shell corresponding to the opening clamping module 910, a jack is formed. The opening clamping module 910 usually includes a plug. Inserting the plug into the jack can break the snap-fitting connection relationship between the upper cover and the bottom shell, causing the upper cover to bounce upward, and the fixture presents an open clamping state. During the closing clamping operation, the upper cover is pushed downward obliquely by the closing clamping module 920, so that the upper cover generates a downward pressing force and is snap-fitted with the bottom shell.

[0076] During the opening and closing clamping operations, the vacuum pumping module 930 pumps vacuum for the fixture. It can be understood that a vacuum adsorption channel for communicating with the vacuum pumping module 930 is provided on the fixture, and the other end of the vacuum adsorption channel can act on the battery cell in the fixture to generate a vacuum adsorption effect on the battery cell in the fixture, so as to ensure that during the opening and closing clamping processes of the fixture, the positioning of the battery cell will not be affected by the actions generated by the fixture, and the positioning effect of the battery cell is improved.

[0077] A feeding and positioning machine for steel shell battery cells provided by the present utility model, after shaping the original state of the battery cells in the fixture through a first pressure maintaining mechanism for maintaining pressure on the head of the battery cell and a second pressure maintaining mechanism for maintaining pressure on the tabs of the battery cell, then flips the steel shell battery cell, tears the attached paper of the battery cell in the fixture, attaches and feeds the steel shell battery cell, and finally flips the fixture, achieving a fully automated operation effect, effectively ensuring the operation quality, reducing the defective rate, and thus achieving the purpose of improving the operation efficiency.

[0078] In the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, terms such as "installation", "connection", "connection", "fixation", etc. shall be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the internal communication of two components or the interaction relationship between two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0079] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the product of this utility model is usually placed during use. It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation to the present utility model. In addition, terms such as "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used for distinguishing descriptions and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0080] In addition, terms such as "horizontal", "vertical", "hanging" do not mean that the component must be absolutely horizontal or hanging, but can be slightly inclined. For example, "horizontal" only means that its direction is more horizontal relative to "vertical", and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly inclined.

[0081] In the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the first feature being above or below the second feature may include the direct contact between the first and second features, or may include the situation where the first and second features are not in direct contact but in contact through other features between them. Moreover, the first feature being above, over, and on the second feature includes the first feature being directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or simply indicating that the horizontal height of the first feature is higher than that of the second feature. The first feature being below, under, and beneath the second feature includes the first feature being directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicating that the horizontal height of the first feature is lower than that of the second feature.

[0082] Although the description of the present utility model is made in conjunction with the above specific embodiments, it is obvious that those skilled in the art can make many substitutions, modifications and variations based on the above content. Therefore, all such substitutions, improvements and variations are included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
