Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of battery production, and particularly relates to a guiding component and a casing device. Background Art

[0002] A casing device is a device for assisting a battery cell to be inserted into a casing. During the working process of the casing device, it is necessary for parts such as a material taking mechanism and a guiding mechanism to work together. The guiding mechanism is generally used to assist the battery cell to enter the casing, and can prevent the battery cell from being damaged due to rubbing against the opening of the casing during the casing insertion process. In related technologies, the guiding mechanism in the same casing device can only assist in guiding for the same shape of the casing (the corresponding casing shape will be different for different types of battery cells).

Detailed implementation manners

[0045] Next, exemplary embodiments according to the present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. It should be understood that the present application is not limited by the exemplary embodiments described herein.

[0046] Figure 1 The structural schematic diagram of the casing feeding device provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present application from the first perspective. As Figure 1 shown, the casing feeding device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application may include a machine body 110, a casing picking mechanism 120, a battery cell positioning mechanism 130, and a guiding assembly 140. The casing picking mechanism 120 is arranged on the machine body 110, and the casing picking mechanism 120 can be used to suck the casing 200. The battery cell positioning mechanism 130 is arranged on the machine body 110, and the battery cell positioning mechanism 130 can be used to position the battery cell 300. The guiding assembly 140 is arranged between the casing picking mechanism 120 and the battery cell positioning mechanism 130, and the guiding assembly 140 can be used to adapt to different types of casings 200 (when the types of battery cells 300 are different, the corresponding shapes of the casings 200 will also be different).

[0047] Specifically, the housing material taking mechanism 120 sucks the housing 200 and moves it in the direction close to the battery cell 300. After moving to a predetermined position, the guiding assembly 140 cooperates with the housing 200, and the guiding assembly 140 positions the housing 200. Then, the housing material taking mechanism 120 drives the housing 200 to continue moving in the direction close to the battery cell 300. When most (usually two-thirds of the whole) of the battery cell 300 enters the housing 200, the positioning of the housing 200 by the guiding assembly 140 is cancelled, and then the housing material taking mechanism 120 drives the housing 200 to continue moving in the direction close to the battery cell 300 until the battery cell 300 is assembled into the housing 200.

[0048] It should be understood that during the process of assembling the battery cell 300 into the housing 200, the guiding assembly 140 plays a role in positioning and guiding the housing 200. And the guiding assembly 140 can also adjust the shape of the inner cavity according to different types of housings 200 to adapt to different types of housings 200. The guiding assembly 140 will be introduced in detail below.

[0049] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the structures of the first group of guiding blocks, the second group of guiding blocks, and the third group of guiding blocks provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the first inner cavity formed by enclosing the first group of guiding blocks and the second group of guiding blocks provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the second inner cavity formed by enclosing the first group of guiding blocks and the third group of guiding blocks provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. As Figures 2 to 4 shown, the guiding assembly 140 provided by the embodiment of the present application may include at least three groups of guiding blocks (such as Figures 2 to 4 the first group of guiding blocks 142, the second group of guiding blocks 143, and the third group of guiding blocks 144 in

[0050] In one embodiment, the number of groups of guiding blocks may be three groups, four groups, five groups, etc.

[0051] In one embodiment, the number of guiding blocks included in each group of guiding blocks may be two, three, four, etc.

[0052] In one embodiment, the number of groups of guiding blocks used to enclose and form the inner cavity adapting to the housing 200 may be two groups, three groups, four groups, etc.

[0053] As Figures 2 to 4As shown, at least three groups of guiding blocks may include a first group of guiding blocks 142, a second group of guiding blocks 143, and a third group of guiding blocks 144. The first group of guiding blocks 142 includes a first guiding block 1421, a second guiding block 1422, a third guiding block 1423, and a fourth guiding block 1424. The second group of guiding blocks 143 includes a fifth guiding block 1431 and a sixth guiding block 1432. The third group of guiding blocks 144 includes a seventh guiding block 1441 and an eighth guiding block 1442.

[0054] Combined with Figure 3 , for the first type of housing, adjust the positions of the first guiding block 1421, the second guiding block 1422, the third guiding block 1423, the fourth guiding block 1424, the fifth guiding block 1431, the sixth guiding block 1432, the seventh guiding block 1441, and the eighth guiding block 1442, so that the first guiding block 1421, the fifth guiding block 1431, the second guiding block 1422, the third guiding block 1423, the sixth guiding block 1432, and the fourth guiding block 1424 are sequentially abutted end to end, and a first inner cavity 145 adapted to the first type of housing can be enclosed.

[0055] Combined with Figure 4 , for the second type of housing, adjust the positions of the first guiding block 1421, the second guiding block 1422, the third guiding block 1423, the fourth guiding block 1424, the fifth guiding block 1431, the sixth guiding block 1432, the seventh guiding block 1441, and the eighth guiding block 1442, so that the first guiding block 1421, the second guiding block 1422, the seventh guiding block 1441, the third guiding block 1423, the fourth guiding block 1424, and the eighth guiding block 1442 are sequentially abutted end to end, and a second inner cavity 146 adapted to the second type of housing can be enclosed.

[0056] It should be noted that the positions of the first guiding block 1421, the second guiding block 1422, the third guiding block 1423, the fourth guiding block 1424, the fifth guiding block 1431, the sixth guiding block 1432, the seventh guiding block 1441, and the eighth guiding block 1442 can be adjusted by a motor drive.

[0057] Combined with Figure 1, the guiding component 140 may further include a mounting table 141, which is disposed between the housing material taking mechanism 120 and the battery cell positioning mechanism 130. The mounting table 141 is movably connected to the body 110, and at least three groups of guiding blocks (such as the aforementioned first group of guiding blocks 142, second group of guiding blocks 143, and third group of guiding blocks 144) are all movably connected to the mounting table 141. Therefore, the mounting table 141 can move relative to the body 110 to adjust the positions of at least three groups of guiding blocks between the housing material taking mechanism 120 and the battery cell positioning mechanism 130, so that the aforementioned first type of housing or second type of housing can be sleeved on the first type of battery cell or second type of battery cell; in addition, at least three groups of guiding blocks can move relative to the mounting table 141 to adjust their own positions, so as to form inner cavities (such as the aforementioned first inner cavity 145 and second inner cavity 146) adapted to different types of housings 200.

[0058] Figure 5 FIG. is a schematic structural view of a first guiding block provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The first guiding block 1421, second guiding block 1422, third guiding block 1423, fourth guiding block 1424, fifth guiding block 1431, sixth guiding block 1432, seventh guiding block 1441, and eighth guiding block 1442 are all provided with a step portion 147, and the specific structure of the step portion 147 can refer to Figure 5 the step portion 147 of the first guiding block 1421 in [reference], and the step portions 147 of other guiding blocks are similar to the step portion 147 of the first guiding block 1421, and will not be all shown here.

[0059] As Figure 5 shown, when the first type of housing extends into the first inner cavity 145, the open end (the opening for battery cell 300 assembly) of the first type of housing can abut against the step portions 147 of the first guiding block 1421, second guiding block 1422, third guiding block 1423, fourth guiding block 1424, fifth guiding block 1431, and sixth guiding block 1432. In this way, the step portion 147 can limit the open end of the first type of housing from passing through the first inner cavity 145, thereby preventing the open end of the first type of housing from colliding with the battery cell 300 and avoiding damage to the first type of housing and the battery cell 300.

[0060] Similarly, when the second type of housing extends into the second inner cavity 146, the open end of the second type of housing (the opening for the assembly of the power cell 300) can abut against the stepped portions 147 of the first guide block 1421, the second guide block 1422, the third guide block 1423, the fourth guide block 1424, the seventh guide block 1441, and the eighth guide block 1442. In this way, the stepped portion 147 can limit the open end of the second type of housing from passing through the second inner cavity 146, thereby preventing a collision between the open end of the second type of housing and the power cell 300 and avoiding damage to the second type of housing and the power cell 300.

[0061] As Figure 5 shown, the first guide block 1421, the second guide block 1422, the third guide block 1423, the fourth guide block 1424, the fifth guide block 1431, the sixth guide block 1432, the seventh guide block 1441, and the eighth guide block 1442 are all provided with guide surfaces 148. The specific structure of the guide surface 148 can refer to Figure 5 the guide surface 148 of the first guide block 1421 in

[0062] As Figure 5 shown, taking the guide surface 148 of the first guide block 1421 as an example, the guide surface 148 is arranged on the side of the first guide block 1421 close to the power cell 300. During the assembly of the first type of housing and the first type of power cell, the guide surface 148 first contacts the side wall of the first type of power cell and plays a guiding role, which can guide the first type of power cell to smoothly enter the first type of housing. In this way, the smoothness of assembling the first type of power cell into the first type of housing can be improved, and at the same time, the assembly efficiency can be effectively increased.

[0063] Similarly, during the assembly of the second type of housing and the second type of power cell, the guide surface 148 first contacts the side wall of the second type of power cell and plays a guiding role, which can guide the second type of power cell to smoothly enter the second type of housing. In this way, the smoothness of assembling the second type of power cell into the second type of housing can be improved, and at the same time, the assembly efficiency can be effectively increased.

[0064] In one embodiment, the guide surface 148 includes a curved surface, an inclined surface, etc.

[0065] Figure 6 This is a partial schematic view of the housing device provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. As Figure 6As shown, the housing material taking mechanism 120 may include a material taking arm 121 and a housing positioning member 122. The material taking arm 121 is slidably engaged with the machine body 110, and the housing positioning member 122 is connected to the material taking arm 121. In practical applications, the housing 200 is clamped on the housing positioning member 122. By controlling the sliding of the material taking arm 121 relative to the machine body 110, the housing positioning member 122 can be driven to move towards the battery cell 300, so that the housing 200 is sleeved on the battery cell 300.

[0066] Figure 7 The structural schematic diagram of the housing positioning member provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. As Figure 7 shown, the housing positioning member 122 is provided with a third inner cavity 1221 for accommodating the first type of housing and a fourth inner cavity 1222 for accommodating the second type of housing. In this way, the housing positioning member 122 can clamp and position different types of housings 200. When dealing with different types of housings 200, there is no need to replace the housing positioning member 122, which can improve the positioning efficiency of different types of housings 200.

[0067] In one embodiment, as Figure 7 shown, the third inner cavity 1221 communicates with the fourth inner cavity 1222. In this way, there is a common cavity 1223 between the third inner cavity 1221 and the fourth inner cavity 1222, which can make full use of the space inside the housing positioning member 122 and improve the space utilization rate. Of course, in other embodiments, the third inner cavity 1221 and the fourth inner cavity 1222 may be independently provided respectively.

[0068] As Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the housing positioning member 122 is provided with a connection hole 1224, and the connection hole 1224 communicates with the third inner cavity 1221 and / or the fourth inner cavity 1222. The housing material taking mechanism 120 may further include a suction member 123, and a part of the suction member 123 is disposed in the connection hole 1224.

[0069] Specifically, when the first type of housing is inserted into the third inner cavity 1221, the suction member 123 can suck the first type of housing through the connection hole 1224; when the second type of housing is inserted into the fourth inner cavity 1222, the suction member 123 can suck the second type of housing through the connection hole 1224.

[0070] It should be understood that under the adsorption action of the suction member 123, the first type of housing can be kept in the third inner cavity 1221 and is not easily separated from the third inner cavity 1221; or, under the adsorption action of the suction member 123, the second type of housing can be kept in the fourth inner cavity 1222 and is not easily separated from the fourth inner cavity 1222.

[0071] In one embodiment, there is a common cavity 1223 between the third inner cavity 1221 and the fourth inner cavity 1222, and the connecting hole 1224 communicates with the common cavity 1223. In this way, whether the first type of housing is assembled into the third inner cavity 1221 or the second type is assembled into the fourth inner cavity 1222, the adsorbing member 123 can adsorb the first type of housing or the second type of housing through the same set of connecting holes 1224, which can reduce the number of connecting holes 1224 provided and simplify the structure of the housing positioning member 122.

[0072] In one embodiment, the third inner cavity 1221 and the fourth inner cavity 1222 are independent of each other, and some of the connecting holes 1224 communicate with the third inner cavity 1221, and the other part of the connecting holes 1224 communicate with the fourth inner cavity 1222.

[0073] In one embodiment, the adsorbing member 123 may include an air extraction device and a vacuum tube. One end of the vacuum tube is connected to the air extraction device, and the other end of the vacuum tube extends into the third inner cavity 1221 / or the fourth inner cavity 1222 through the connecting hole 1224.

[0074] As Figure 6 shown, the housing picking mechanism 120 may further include a pressure sensor 124. The pressure sensor 124 is provided on the housing positioning member 122, and the pressure sensor 124 can be used to detect the pressure exerted on the housing positioning member 122 by the first type of housing or the second type of housing.

[0075] Specifically, taking the example of assembling the first type of battery cell into the first type of housing, when the first type of housing is about to be sleeved on the first type of battery cell, the top wall of the first type of battery cell may come into contact and press against the opening end of the first type of housing. At this time, the pressure sensor 124 will detect the pressing force of the first type of battery cell on the first type of housing. If this pressing force exceeds the preset threshold, it can be considered that the first type of housing and the first type of battery cell are not aligned and a collision has occurred. At this time, the controller receiving the pressure data sent by the pressure sensor 124 will promptly stop the housing picking mechanism 120 from continuing to move towards the first type of battery cell to prevent the first type of battery cell from being damaged by pressing.

[0076] Figure 8 is a schematic structural diagram of the battery cell positioning mechanism provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. As Figure 8 shown, the battery cell positioning mechanism 130 may include a battery cell positioning member 131. The battery cell positioning member 131 is provided on the machine body 110. The battery cell positioning member 131 is provided with a fifth inner cavity 1311 for accommodating the first type of battery cell and a sixth inner cavity 1312 for accommodating the second type of battery cell. That is to say, the battery cell positioning member 131 can be adapted to different types of battery cells 300. In the case of replacing different types of battery cells 300, it is not necessary to replace the battery cell positioning member 131, effectively shortening the working time and improving the overall production efficiency of the battery.

[0077] like Figure 8 As shown, the battery cell positioning mechanism 130 may further include a clamping member 132 and a first driving cylinder 133. The clamping member 132 may be movably provided on the battery cell positioning member 131. The first driving cylinder 133 is provided on the battery cell positioning member 131. The first driving cylinder 133 is connected to the clamping member 132. The first driving cylinder 133 may drive the clamping member 132 to move so that the clamping member 132 may be clamped on the first type battery cell or the second type battery cell. In this way, the first type battery cell may be fixed in the fifth inner cavity 1311, or the second type battery cell may be fixed in the sixth inner cavity 1312, so as to facilitate the subsequent alignment of the first type shell or the second type shell with the first type battery cell or the second type battery cell.

[0078] In one embodiment, the first driving cylinder 133 may include an air cylinder, an oil cylinder, etc.

[0079] In one embodiment, the clamping member 132 includes two clamping blocks, and the two first driving cylinders 133 can respectively drive the two clamping blocks to move relatively closer or relatively farther away.

[0080] Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the shell insertion device provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application at a second viewing angle. Figure 9 As shown, the shell insertion device 100 may further include a pressure roller 150 and a second drive cylinder 160. The pressure roller 150 is located between the guide assembly 140 and the battery cell positioning mechanism 130. The second drive cylinder 160 is disposed on the mounting platform 141 and is connected to the pressure roller 150. Driven by the second drive cylinder 160, the pressure roller 150 can approach the first type battery cell or the second type battery cell and press against the first type battery cell or the second type battery cell.

[0081] Taking the assembly of the first type of battery cell into the first type of shell as an example, before the first type of shell is inserted into the first type of battery cell, the second drive cylinder 160 can be used to drive the pressure roller 150 to press against the first type of battery cell, so that the thickness of the first type of battery cell is reduced, thereby facilitating the first type of battery cell to be inserted into the first type of shell, and effectively preventing the first type of battery cell from being damaged by the first type of shell due to its excessive thickness.

[0082] In one embodiment, there are two pressure rollers 150, which respectively press against opposite sides of the first type battery cell or the second type battery cell, thereby reducing the thickness of the first type battery cell or the second type battery cell as much as possible, and preventing the first type battery cell or the second type battery cell from colliding with the first type shell or the second type shell due to excessive thickness.

[0083] In one embodiment, the second driving cylinder 160 may include an air cylinder, an oil cylinder, etc.
