Detailed description of the specific implementation

[0032] Now, various exemplary embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that: Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangements, numerical expressions, and numerical values of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present application.

[0033] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way a limitation on the present application and its application or use.

[0034] Techniques, methods, and devices known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be considered as part of the specification.

[0035] In all the examples shown and discussed here, any specific value should be construed as merely exemplary and not as a limitation. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0036] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to like items in the following figures, and thus, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0037] First, it should be noted that for the X direction, Y direction, and Z direction mentioned in the embodiments of the present application, please refer to the directions marked in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 . Specifically, the X direction, Y direction, and Z direction intersect pairwise.

[0038] As Figures 1-8 shown, according to the first aspect of the embodiments of the present application, a feeding device is provided, including a printing platform 1 and a feeding mechanism 2; the printing platform 1 includes a bearing surface 111, and at least two first grooves 112 are formed in the bearing surface 111, and the two first grooves 112 are arranged at intervals in the Y direction; the feeding mechanism 2 is arranged adjacent to the printing platform 1 in the X direction, and the feeding mechanism 2 includes a transfer assembly 21, and the transfer assembly 21 includes at least two inserting rulers 211, and the two inserting rulers 211 are arranged at intervals in the Y direction; the feeding mechanism 2 transfers materials to the printing platform 1, and one of the inserting rulers 211 can be located in one of the first grooves 112, and the other inserting ruler 211 can be located in the other first groove 112.

[0039] As Figure 1 shown, the feeding device includes a printing platform 1 and a feeding mechanism 2. The printing platform 1 is used for placing battery wafers, and a printing head is used to print the battery wafers located on the printing platform 1; the feeding mechanism 2 is used to transfer the battery wafers to be processed to the printing platform 1, or remove the processed battery wafers.

[0040] Among them, the printing platform 1 and the feeding mechanism 2 are arranged adjacent to each other in the X direction; among them, in the working mode of the feeding device being an assembly line, the printing platform 1 can be arranged downstream of the feeding mechanism 2, that is to say, the feeding mechanism 2 is used to place the battery wafers to be processed on the printing platform 1; the printing platform 1 can be arranged upstream of the feeding mechanism 2, that is to say, the feeding mechanism 2 is used to remove the processed batteries located on the printing platform 1; or feeding mechanisms 2 can be arranged both upstream and downstream of the printing platform 1. If the structure of the feeding device is relatively compact, only one feeding mechanism 2 is provided, and this feeding mechanism 2 is used to transfer the battery wafers to be processed to the printing platform 1 and remove the processed battery wafers.

[0041] Further explanation, the printing platform 1 includes a bearing surface 111 on which the battery wafers are to be borne. At least two first grooves 112 are formed in the bearing surface 111, and the two first grooves 112 are spaced along the Y direction. The depth direction of the first groove 112 is the Z direction; the feeding mechanism 2 includes a transfer assembly 21, and the transfer assembly 21 includes at least two inserting rulers 211 for bearing the battery wafers. The two inserting rulers 211 are spaced along the Y direction. When the feeding mechanism 2 transfers the battery wafers to the printing platform 1, one inserting ruler 211 is inserted into one first groove 112, and the other inserting ruler 211 is inserted into the other first groove 112, so as to transfer the battery wafers onto the printing platform 1 and ensure the position of the battery wafers on the bearing surface 111 of the printing platform 1, thus facilitating the subsequent processing of the battery wafers.

[0042] Wherein, the number of the inserting rulers 211 is the same as that of the first grooves 112, and one inserting ruler 211 corresponds to one first groove 112; the number of the inserting rulers 211 can be two, three, four or more, and the number of the first grooves 112 can be two, three, four or more; preferably, the number of the inserting rulers 211 is two, and the number of the first grooves 112 is two, so that the structure of the transfer assembly 21 is relatively simple, the structure of the printing platform 1 is also relatively simple, and it is also convenient to transfer the battery wafers.

[0043] In an alternative embodiment, the feeding mechanism 2 further includes a first driving component 22 and a second driving component 23. The driving end of the first driving component 22 is connected to the transfer assembly 21, and the first driving component 22 can drive the transfer assembly 21 to move along the X direction. The driving end of the second driving component 23 is connected to the first driving component 22, and the second driving component 23 can drive the first driving component 22 to move along the Z direction.

[0044] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the feeding mechanism 2 further includes a first driving component 22 and a second driving component 23.

[0045] Further explanation, the transfer assembly 21 is connected to the driving end of the first driving component 22, and the first driving component 22 can drive the transfer assembly 21 to move along the X direction. That is to say, the first driving component 22 can drive the transfer assembly 21 to approach or move away from the printing platform 1 along the X direction; the first driving component 22 is connected to the driving end of the second driving component 23, and the second driving component 23 can drive the first driving component 22 to move along the Z direction.

[0046] When the feeding mechanism 2 transfers the battery wafers to be processed to the printing platform 1, the second driving component 23 drives the first driving component 22 to move upward in the Z direction, and the first driving component 22 drives the transfer component 21 to move in the X direction, so that the inserting ruler 211 is located above the printing platform 1. Then, the second driving component 23 drives the first driving component 22 to move downward in the Z direction, so that the inserting ruler 211 is located in the first groove 112. The battery wafers to be processed on the inserting ruler 211 will then fall onto the bearing surface 111 of the printing platform 1. The first driving component 22 drives the transfer component 21 to move in the X direction away from the printing platform 1, so that the inserting ruler 211 of the transfer component 21 is removed from the first groove 112, thus completing the feeding.

[0047] When the feeding mechanism 2 transfers the processed battery wafers from the printing platform 1, the first driving component 22 drives the transfer component 21 to move in the X direction, so that the inserting ruler 211 is inserted into the first groove 112 of the printing platform 1. The second driving component 23 drives the first driving component 22 to move in the Z direction away from the printing platform 1 to lift the battery wafers located on the bearing surface 111. The first driving component 22 drives the transfer component 21 to move in the X direction away from the printing platform 1, thereby removing the processed battery wafers.

[0048] In an alternative embodiment, the first driving component 22 can be a hydraulic cylinder or an electric cylinder; preferably, as Figure 3 shown, the first driving component 22 includes a motor 221, a driving wheel 222, a driven wheel 223, and a transmission belt 224. The driving wheel 222 and the driven wheel 223 are arranged at intervals in the X direction. The output end of the motor 221 is connected to the driving wheel 222. The transmission belt 224 is sleeved on the driving wheel 222 and the driven wheel 223. The transfer component 21 is connected to the transmission belt 224. The motor 221 drives the driving wheel 222 to rotate, thereby driving the transmission belt 224 to rotate, and then driving the transfer component 21 to move in the X direction; this structure is simple and has a low cost.

[0049] In an alternative embodiment, the second driving component 23 can be a hydraulic cylinder, an electric cylinder, or a motor and a lead screw.

[0050] As Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, in an optional embodiment, a first ventilation channel 2111 is defined within the insert 211. The end surface of the insert 211 used for placing materials is a bearing end surface 2113. The bearing end surface 2113 is defined with a first adsorption hole 2112, which is in communication with the first ventilation channel 2111. The bearing end surface 2113 is used to support battery cells, and the first adsorption holes 2112 can adsorb the battery cells, preventing them from falling off the insert 211 as the insert 211 moves.

[0051] In an optional embodiment, a wear-resistant tape is provided on the bearing end surface 2113. When the battery cell is located on the bearing end surface 2113, the wear-resistant tape can be used to increase the wear resistance of the surface in contact with the battery cell.

[0052] In an optional embodiment, the feeding device further includes a linear motor 3, a driving end of the linear motor 3 is connected to the bottom 14 of the printing platform 1, and the linear motor 3 can drive the printing platform 1 to move along the X direction.

[0053] In the prior art, the driving mechanism for driving the printing platform 1 is set on the side of the printing platform 1, so that the printing platform 1 is suspended and the bottom 14 of the printing platform 1 is unsupported, which makes the flatness of the printing platform 1 low.

[0054] like Figure 7 As shown, the feeding device also includes a linear motor 3, the driving end of the linear motor 3 is connected to the bottom 14 of the printing platform 1, so that the linear motor 3 can provide a certain support for the printing platform 1, thereby improving the flatness of the printing platform 1, thereby improving the processing quality of the battery cell.

[0055] The bottom 14 of the printing platform 1 refers to the end opposite to the carrying surface 111 in the Z direction.

[0056] In an optional embodiment, a second groove 19 is formed on a side of the printing platform 1 close to the linear motor 3 , and a carrying plate 4 is provided in the second groove 19 . The carrying plate 4 is used to receive and place the crushed materials.

[0057] like Figure 7As shown, a second groove 19 is formed on one side of the printing platform 1 close to the linear motor 3. That is to say, the second groove 19 is formed at the bottom 14 of the printing platform 1. The printing platform 1 is located above the linear motor 3 in the Z direction, and the depth direction of the second groove 19 is the same as the Z direction. A bearing plate 4 is arranged in the second groove 19. When the battery cell on the bearing surface 111 is broken, the bearing plate 4 will catch the fragments of the battery cell, thus preventing the fragments of the battery cell from falling into the linear motor 3 and avoiding damage to the linear motor 3.

[0058] In an optional embodiment, an adjusting assembly 15 is arranged on one side of the printing platform 1 connected to the linear motor 3, and the adjusting assembly 15 is used to adjust the flatness of the printing platform 1.

[0059] As Figure 5 shown, a plurality of connecting parts 16 are arranged on the printing platform 1, and the connecting parts 16 are used to connect with the driving end of the linear motor 3. At the connecting part 16, the linear motor 3 and the printing platform 1 are connected by bolts 17. The adjusting assembly 15 is arranged at the connecting part 16, and the adjusting assembly 15 can adjust the flatness of the printing platform 1 to avoid the battery cell from being skewed, thereby improving the processing quality of the battery cell.

[0060] Preferably, as Figure 8 shown, in the Y direction, connecting parts 16 are arranged on both sides of the printing platform 1. Three connecting parts 16 are arranged at intervals along the X direction on each side. A bolt 17 and two adjusting assemblies 15 are arranged at each connecting part 16. The bolt 17 is used to connect the printing platform 1 and the driving end of the linear motor 3, and the adjusting assembly 15 is used to adjust the flatness of the printing platform 1.

[0061] Among them, the adjusting assembly 15 can adopt a setscrew. The setscrew passes through the connecting part 16 and contacts the driving end of the linear motor 3. By adjusting the size of the setscrew screwed into the connecting part 16, the gap between the printing platform 1 and the driving end of the linear motor 3 can be adjusted to adjust the flatness of the printing platform 1.

[0062] In an optional embodiment, the printing platform 1 includes a main body and a paper changing frame 11. A first magnet 18 is arranged on the main body, and a second magnet 113 is arranged on the paper changing frame 11. The paper changing frame 11 is arranged on the main body, and the first magnet 18 and the second magnet 113 attract each other.

[0063] As Figures 5-7 shown, the printing platform 1 further includes a main body and a paper changing frame 11. Among them, the main body is connected to the driving end of the linear motor 3, and the paper changing frame 11 is arranged on the main body.

[0064] Further explanation, as Figure 5As shown in the figure, a first magnet 18 is provided at one end of the body away from the linear motor 3, and a second magnet 113 is provided on the paper-changing frame 11. The paper-changing frame 11 is arranged on the body. The first magnet 18 attracts the second magnet 113, thereby fixing the paper-changing frame 11 on the body. Moreover, the connection between the paper-changing frame 11 and the body is detachable, which is convenient for replacing the paper-changing frame 11 and also for the paper-changing frame 11 to replace the paper.

[0065] In an alternative embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, the bearing surface 111 is located at one end of the paper-changing frame 11 away from the body, and the first groove 112 is formed in the paper-changing frame 11.

[0066] In an alternative embodiment, the body includes a first mounting portion 12 and a second mounting portion 13. A second ventilation passage 131 is formed inside the second mounting portion 13. The first mounting portion 12 is disposed on the second mounting portion 13 and seals the second ventilation passage 131. The first mounting portion 12 is provided with a second adsorption hole 121, and the second adsorption hole 121 communicates with the second ventilation passage 131;

[0067] The paper-changing frame 11 is disposed on the first mounting portion 12.

[0068] As Figure 5 shown, the body includes a first mounting portion 12 and a second mounting portion 13. Among them, the paper-changing frame 11 is arranged on the first mounting portion 12. That is to say, the first magnet 18 is arranged on the first mounting portion 12, and the second magnet 113 of the paper-changing frame 11 attracts the first magnet 18 located on the first mounting portion 12; the second mounting portion 13 is connected to the driving end of the linear motor 3.

[0069] Furthermore, as Figure 8 shown, a second ventilation passage 131 is formed inside the second mounting portion 13, and a second adsorption hole 121 is formed on the first mounting portion 12. The first mounting portion 12 is connected to the second mounting portion 13 to seal the second ventilation passage 131. The second adsorption hole 121 communicates with the second ventilation passage 131. Since the paper-changing frame 11 is located on the first mounting portion 12, the second adsorption hole 121 can adsorb the battery cell located on the paper-changing frame 11, thereby preventing the battery cell from moving on the bearing surface 111.

[0070] Furthermore, the second ventilation passage 131 is formed in the second mounting portion 13 along a preset direction. For example, taking the air flow direction in the second ventilation passage 131 as an example, the second ventilation passage 131 can be in a circular shape, a triangular shape, a star shape or an irregular shape. The first mounting portion 12 seals the second mounting portion 13, so that the second ventilation passage 131 has good sealing performance and the adsorption force of its second adsorption hole 121 is relatively uniform and high.

[0071] Among them, the first mounting portion 12 can be plate-shaped or block-shaped, and the second mounting portion 13 can be plate-shaped or block-shaped.

[0072] In an alternative embodiment, as Figure 8 shown, a light source 132 is provided inside the second mounting portion 13, and the first mounting portion 12 is made of a transparent material. Thus, a light source can be provided for processing or inspecting battery wafers.

[0073] According to a second aspect of the embodiments of the present application, a printing device is provided, including the above-mentioned feeding device.
