[0056] The disclosure below provides many different implementations or examples for implementing different structures of the embodiments of the utility model. In order to simplify the disclosure of the embodiments of the utility model, the components and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, the purpose of the examples is not to limit the embodiments of the utility model. In addition, the embodiments of the utility model may repeat reference numbers and / or reference letters in different examples. Such repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity, and does not itself indicate the relationship between the various implementations and / or settings discussed.
[0057] In order to better understand the purpose, structure and function of the present invention, an electrode plate pad assembly device of the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0058] refer to Figures 1 to 8 As shown, an electrode plate pad assembly device disclosed in the present invention may include: a machine frame body 1, the top of which is a working surface 11, and the middle of the working surface 11 is an assembly position 12; a pad lifting mechanism 2, which is arranged at one end of the inner side of the machine frame body 1, and is used to lift the pad 6 located in the pad lifting mechanism 2 to the working surface 11; a pad pushing mechanism 3, which is arranged on the working surface 11, and is used to fix the pad 6 lifted by the pad lifting mechanism 2, and push the pad 6 into the opening of the electrode plate 5 located at the assembly position 12; an electrode plate opening mechanism 4, which is arranged on the assembly position 12, and is used to move the electrode plate 5 to the assembly position 12, and to prop the electrode plate 5 open to form the opening.
[0059] Among them, the working surface 11 is the main working plane for assembling and processing the electrode plate 5. In a specific scenario, it is generally the upper surface of the frame body 1. Afterwards, the assembly position 12 is the main working position for opening the electrode plate 5 and inserting the pad 6. In a more specific scenario, for some electrode plates 5, it is necessary to insert the pad 6 on both sides, or for some scenarios with smaller electrode plates 5, multiple electrode plates 5 can be processed at the same time, such as processing two electrode plates 5. Furthermore, the assembly position 12 is set in the middle position of the working surface 11, which is a relatively efficient working mode in many scenarios. Accordingly, two sets of pad lifting mechanism 2 and pad pushing mechanism 3 can be set, and are correspondingly arranged on both sides of the assembly position 12, that is, a set of pad lifting mechanism 2 and pad pushing mechanism 3 are respectively arranged on both sides of the electrode plate opening mechanism 4.
[0060] In some embodiments, the backing plate lifting mechanism 2 can use a lifting device to lift the backing plate 6 located therein to the working surface 11. For example, it can be clamped and lifted using a clamping device, or adsorbed and lifted using a magnetic or adsorption device, or the backing plate 6 can also be lifted using a structure similar to a forklift. At the same time, the backing plates 6 can be loaded into the backing plate lifting mechanism 2 one by one for operation, or a group of backing plates 6 can be loaded. Furthermore, in some embodiments, in order to achieve the loading of a group of backing plates 6, a backing plate bin 25 and other structures can be provided to load a group of backing plates 6 and facilitate their loading into the backing plate lifting mechanism 2.
[0061] Furthermore, in some embodiments, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, Figure 2 a schematic diagram showing the backing plate lifting mechanism 2 disposed within the machine frame main body 1 is presented. It can be seen that more than one backing plate lifting mechanism 2 can be provided. For example, two can be provided oppositely within the machine frame main body 1. Figure 3 A specific structural schematic diagram of one of the backing plate lifting mechanisms 2 is shown. Further, the backing plate lifting mechanism 2 can further include: a backing plate bin 25, disposed at one end of the inner side of the machine frame main body 1 away from the working surface 11, for carrying at least one of the backing plates 6; at least one lifting module 21, disposed on the inner side of the machine frame main body 1, on one side of the backing plate bin 25, for lifting the backing plate bin 25. And in order to monitor the height of the backing plate bin 25 in real time and thus replenish the backing plates 6 immediately, at least one first sensor 28 can be provided, disposed on the at least one lifting module 21, for sensing the height change of the backing plates 6 within the backing plate bin 25. In a specific application scenario, when the backing plate pushing mechanism 3 removes one backing plate 6, the height of the backing plates within the backing plate bin 25 will necessarily change, resulting in no backing plate 6 temporarily at the working surface 11. At this time, the first sensor 28 can be used for sensing. When it is found that the height of the backing plate bin 25 has changed, the lifting module 21 can be immediately controlled to lift the backing plate bin 25 so that the backing plates 6 therein are again located on the working surface. In a more specific scenario, there can be one lifting module 21, which lifts by lifting the entire backing plate 6; or as Figure 2 shown, there are two or more lifting modules 21, so that the backing plate 6 can be fixed and lifted from multiple directions, thereby making the lifting more stable. In the case of multiple lifting modules 21, there will also be multiple first sensors 28, and thus a pair of sensors can be formed.
[0062] Further, the backing plate bin can be fixed inside the backing plate lifting mechanism, or can be transported through other structures. Thus, in some embodiments, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in the figure, the backing plate lifting mechanism 2 may further include: a backing plate trolley 23, which is arranged at one end of the inner side of the machine frame body 1 away from the working surface 11 and on the side of the backing plate bin 25 away from the working surface 11, and is used for placing the backing plate bin 25; a displacement module 22, which is arranged at one end of the inner side of the machine frame body 1 away from the working surface 11, and the backing plate trolley 23 is movably arranged on the displacement module 22; a second sensor 27, which is arranged on the backing plate trolley 23 and is used for positioning the backing plate trolley 23; a first power unit 26, which is arranged on the side of the backing plate trolley 23 away from the working surface 11 and is connected to the backing plate trolley 23, and is used for fixing the backing plate trolley 23. The backing plate trolley 23 is used for placing the backing plate bin 25 and moving it by means of the displacement module 22, and its position is determined by the second sensor 27. After the backing plate trolley 23 moves to a specific position, the second sensor 27 will sense it and form a corresponding signal, and then the first power unit 26 can be used in cooperation with the machine frame body 1 to fix the backing plate trolley 23, so that the backing plate trolley 23 cannot move in the first direction and the second direction. In this embodiment, the first direction and the second direction are two mutually perpendicular directions on the working surface 11, such as the length direction and the width direction of the machine frame body 1. In addition, the height direction of the machine frame body 1 can be regarded as the third direction, that is, the direction perpendicular to the working surface 11.
[0063] It should be noted that in this embodiment and subsequent embodiments, the power unit is a component for providing a power source, and it may include one or several cylinders, motors, and necessary transmission structures and other power components that can provide power, and no specific limitation is made here.
[0064] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, in order to more conveniently lift the backing plate bin, a lifting block 24 that can extend into the bottom of the backing plate bin 25 or the backing plate trolley 23 can be arranged on the lifting module 21, and the backing plate bin 25 or the backing plate trolley 23 is lifted by the lifting block 24, and finally the lifting operation of the backing plate 6 is completed. That is, in some embodiments, the at least one lifting module 21 includes: a lifting block 24, which is arranged on the side of the at least one lifting module 21 facing the backing plate bin 25, and is used for extending into the side of the backing plate bin 25 or the backing plate trolley 23 away from the working surface 11 to lift after the backing plate trolley 23 is fixed in the first direction and the second direction.
[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in the figure, Figure 4The schematic diagram showing the setting of the backing plate pushing mechanism 3 on the working surface 11 is shown. It can be seen that more than one backing plate pushing mechanism 3 can be set. For example, two can be respectively set on both sides of the assembly position 12, corresponding to the two backing plate lifting mechanisms 2. Figure 5 shows the structure after Figure 4 assembling the electrode plate opening mechanism 4 on this basis.
[0066] For the backing plate pushing mechanism 3, after the backing plate lifting mechanism 2 lifts a backing plate 6 to the working surface 11, the backing plate 6 can be directly pushed to the assembly position 12 by using the moving device. At the assembly position 12, the electrode plate opening mechanism 4 will open the electrode plate 5 to form an opening, and then the backing plate 6 can be directly pushed into it to complete the assembly. However, in such a way, due to the long pushing distance, it is difficult to align, and it cannot be adjusted midway, requiring relatively high precision. Therefore, in some other embodiments, the backing plate pushing mechanism 3 can move the backing plate 6 in segments. For example, first take a backing plate 6 out of the backing plate storage bin 25 and place it at a specific position, such as on the backing plate support 32, and then push the backing plate 6 on the backing plate support 32.
[0067] In a more specific scenario, the segmented movement of the backing plate pushing mechanism 3 can be realized by means of two completely independent structures, or the two functions can be integrated into one structure for realization. Furthermore, in some other embodiments, first, for the taking out and placing of the backing plate 6, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5, the backing plate pushing mechanism 3 may include: a moving frame 34 spanning across the working surface 11; displacement guide rails 33 disposed at both ends of the moving frame 34 on the working surface 11 for restricting the movement of the moving frame 34 in the direction away from the assembly position 12 and in the direction towards the assembly position 12; a second power unit 36 and a suction cup module 38. The suction cup module 38 is disposed on the side of the moving frame 34 away from the assembly position 12 through the second power unit 36. The suction cup module 38 faces the inside of the machine frame body 1. The second power unit 36 is used to adjust the position of the suction cup module 38 in the third direction. The suction cup module 38 is used to adsorb the backing plate 6 lifted by the backing plate lifting mechanism 2; a backing plate support 32 is disposed on the working surface 11 for receiving the backing plate 6 adsorbed and fixed by the suction cup module 38. Among them, the suction cup module 38 moves up and down by using the second power unit 36, can adsorb after approaching the backing plate 6 near the backing plate bin 25, rises again by using the second power unit 36 after adsorbing one backing plate 6, and then the moving frame 34 can slide on the displacement guide rails 33 to move the suction cup module 38 and the adsorbed backing plate 6 above the backing plate support 32. Then, the second power unit 36 is used again to lower the suction cup module 38 and the adsorbed backing plate 6. After that, the suction cup module 38 stops adsorbing and places the backing plate 6 on the backing plate support 32. In a more specific scenario, the size of the suction cup module 38 is generally adapted to the backing plate 6 and is designed and set for the purpose of quickly and stably adsorbing the backing plate 6.
[0068] Further, for the backing plate 6 placed on the backing plate support 32 in the foregoing embodiment, the final push needs to be completed. Furthermore, in some embodiments, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the backing plate pushing mechanism 3 further includes: a third power unit 35 and a pushing module 37. The pushing module 37 is disposed on the side of the moving frame 34 close to the assembly position 12 through the third power unit 35. The third power unit 35 is used to adjust the position of the pushing module 37 in the third direction. The pushing module 37 is used to push the backing plate 6 on the backing plate support 32 into the opening of the electrode plate 5 at the assembly position 12 when the moving frame 34 moves. Among them, the third power unit 35 is similar to the second power unit 36. When the pushing module 37 moves to the upper side of the backing plate 6 on the backing plate support 32 (generally the side away from the assembly position 12), it can be controlled to drop onto the backing plate support 32, so that the pushing module 37 is located on the side of the backing plate 6 away from the assembly position 12. Thus, when the moving frame 34 moves, the pushing module 37 can move towards the assembly position 12, and can push the backing plate 6 towards the assembly position 12, and finally push the backing plate 6 into the opening of the electrode plate 5 at the assembly position 12.
[0069] That is to say, when the suction cup module 38 adsorbs a backing plate 6, the previous backing plate 6 is placed on the backing plate support 32. At this time, the pushing module 37 also drops to the preset position, and the previous backing plate 6 can be pushed. After the suction cup module 38 finishes adsorption, the moving frame 34 starts to move along the displacement guide rail 33 towards the assembly position 12. At this time, the pushing module 37 also pushes the previous backing plate 6 towards the assembly position 12. When the pushing module 37 finishes pushing the previous backing plate 6, the suction cup module 38 just adsorbs the current backing plate 6 and reaches above the backing plate support 32, and it can be placed on the backing plate support 32. Then, the moving frame 34 takes the suction cup module 38 and the pushing module 37 back to their original positions, and then repeats this cycle.
[0070] In some embodiments, for the convenience of assembling and maintaining the displacement guide rail 33 and other structures thereon, the displacement guide rail 33 can be installed in the assembly frame 31, and then the assembly frame 31 is used to assemble the displacement guide rail 33 and other structures thereon to the frame body 1. That is, in some embodiments, the displacement guide rail 33 is installed on the frame body 1 through the assembly frame 31.
[0071] In some embodiments, as Figures 5 to 8 shown, where Figure 6 shows a schematic structural diagram of the electrode plate opening mechanism 4 separately provided on the frame body 1. Figure 7 shows a partial specific structural diagram of the electrode plate opening mechanism 4. Figure 8 Then, on the basis of Figure 7 a schematic structural diagram is shown after partially hiding the assembly bracket 43. It can be seen that for the electrode plate opening mechanism 4, it is necessary to open an opening in the electrode plate 5, and after the backing plate pushing mechanism 3 pushes the backing plate 6 into the opening, the electrode plate 5 is restored to complete the assembly. For the restoration process, the structure of the electrode plate 5 itself will cause it to close the opening, and then only the relevant structures that originally supported the opening need to be withdrawn to complete the closing. Therefore, in this embodiment, the process of forming the opening is mainly introduced, and the main function of the electrode plate opening mechanism 4 is also to open the electrode plate 5.
[0072] Furthermore, as Figures 5 to 8As shown in the figure, for the electrode plate opening mechanism 4, it may include: an assembly bracket 43, arranged at the assembly position 12, mainly used to effectively support other structures of the electrode plate opening mechanism 4; a carrier 42, arranged on one side of the assembly bracket 43 facing the working surface 11, used to carry the electrode plate 5; a plurality of pressing modules 44, arranged at one end of the assembly bracket facing the carrier 42, used to press the electrode plate 5; at least one lifting guide shaft 46, fixedly arranged on the assembly bracket 43 and passing through the assembly bracket 43; a fourth power unit 45, arranged on the side of the assembly bracket 43 away from the working surface 11, connected to the first end of the at least one lifting guide shaft 46; an inner plate 47, arranged on the side of the assembly bracket 43 close to the working surface 11, connected to the second end of the at least one lifting guide shaft 46; a slide bar 411, arranged on the side of the inner plate 47 away from the working surface 11; a connecting block 49, slidably arranged on the slide bar 411; a fifth power unit 48, arranged on the side of the inner plate 47 away from the working surface 11, connected to the connecting block 49; a plurality of opening modules 410, arranged at one end of the assembly bracket 43 facing the carrier 42, connected to the connecting block 49, used to drive the connecting block 49 to slide on the slide bar 411 under the drive of the fifth power unit 48, and open the electrode plate 5 to form the opening. Among them, after the carrier 42 carries an electrode plate 5, the electrode plate 5 will contact the pressing module 44, and the pressing module 44 will press and fix the electrode plate 5. Then the fourth power unit 45 works, drives the inner plate 47 to press down through the lifting guide shaft 46, so that the inner plate 47 and the opening modules 410 are closely attached to the upper surface of the electrode plate 5. Then, the fifth power unit 48 works, drives the connecting block 49 to slide on the slide bar 411, and uses the connecting block 49 to drive the opening module 41 to push inward (i.e., towards the center position of the assembly position 12), so as to use the opening module 410 to open the gap on the electrode plate 5 to form an opening. In a more specific scenario, the size of the carrier 42 is generally adapted to the electrode plate 5, and it is designed and arranged for the purpose of quickly and stably supporting the electrode plate 5.
[0073] After that, in some embodiments, in order to facilitate the continuous mechanical insertion and removal of the electrode plates, a lifting module 41 may be additionally provided on the basis of the structure of the aforementioned electrode plate opening mechanism 4. The lifting module 41 is used to move the carrier 42 in the third direction to complete the replacement of the electrode plate 5 below the working surface 11. When the unassembled electrode plate 5 is carried on the carrier 42, the lifting module 41 drives the carrier 42 to move upward, so that the electrode plate 5 contacts and is pressed by the pressing module 44 for assembly operations. After the assembly is completed, the lifting module 41 drives the carrier 42 to move downward to complete the replacement of the electrode plate 5 below the working surface 11. That is, in some embodiments, the electrode plate opening mechanism 4 further includes: a lifting module 41, which is disposed on a side of the carrier 42 away from the assembly bracket 43, is connected to the carrier 42, and is used to lift the carrier 42 to move the electrode plate 5 to the working surface 11.

[0076] After that, the working principle and usage process of the electrode plate backing plate assembly device of the present disclosure embodiment are as follows:
[0077] First, under the operation of the displacement module 22, the pallet bin 25 on the pallet truck 23 will be driven to move to the lifting module 21. The second sensor 27 will sense the signal and drive the first power unit 26 to cooperate with the frame body 1 to clamp the pallet truck 23. Then, under the operation of the lifting module 21, the pallet bin 25 on the pallet truck 23 will be lifted by the lifting block 24. The first sensor 28 will receive the position information of the pallet bin 25. At this time, under the operation of the corresponding structures of the two displacement guide rails 33, the suction cup module 38 on the two side moving frames 34 will be driven to move onto the pallet bin 25. Under the operation of the second power unit 36, the suction cup module 38 will be driven to move downwards to suck a pallet 6 on the pallet bin 25. At this time, the first sensor 28 will sense the height change of the pallet bin 25 and drive the lifting module 21 to raise the pallet truck 23 for replenishing materials.
[0078] After that, under the displacement of the moving frame 34 using the displacement guide rail 33, the two pallets 6 adsorbed by the suction cup module 38 on both sides will be moved to the corresponding pallet support plates 32. Then the suction cup module 38 releases the adsorption and places the two pallets 6 on the pallet support plates 32. Subsequently, under the operation of the corresponding structure of the displacement guide rail 33, the suction cup module 38 will be displaced onto the pallet bin 25 again to realize the next adsorption and material taking. And at the same time, the pushing module 37 that moves synchronously with the suction cup module 38 on the moving frame 34 will move to one side of the pallet 6 placed on the pallet support plate 32. Under the operation of the third power unit 35, the pushing module 37 will be driven to move downwards and lean against the pallet support plate 32. In this way, when the displacement guide rail 33 drives the feeding again, the two side pushing modules 37 will synchronously push the previous pallet 6 into the gap between the electrode plates 5 on the carrying vehicle 42, thus completing the assembly. And the latter pallet 6 just moves to the pallet support plate 32 for placement to realize the next cycle of pushing materials.
[0079] Then, during this period, under the operation of the jacking module 41, the carrying vehicle 42 will be driven to move upwards so that the electrode plates 5 on the carrying vehicle 42 can be clamped by the clamping module 44. Then, under the operation of the fourth power unit 45, the elastic opening blocks on the opening module 410 will be driven to closely adhere to the upper surface of the middle layer plate of the electrode plate. At this time, under the telescopic power of the two fifth power units 48, the two side opening modules 410 will be driven to push inwards through the connecting block 49 and expand the gap on the electrode plate 5, so as to facilitate the movement and insertion of the pallet 6 for assembly. During this process, the slitting of the electrode plate 5 and the insertion and assembly of the pallet 6 are all mechanized operations, which helps to save manpower and improve work efficiency.
