Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of battery pack production, in particular to an automatic flower basket fragment removal device. Background Art

[0002] Different manufacturers have different specifications for existing solar cells or silicon wafers, so they need to be paired with different flower baskets. Flower baskets are the carriers for loading solar cells or silicon wafers. Solar cells or silicon wafers of different specifications require flower baskets with different openings.

[0003] With the development of the photovoltaic industry, cells have gradually evolved from smaller to larger and thinner sizes. Consequently, cell bending is common during cell transport. This can lead to abnormal cells, such as fragments and overlapping cells, being found in the cell baskets as they are transported to the baskets. During the nesting phase, these abnormal cells cannot be ejected properly, causing the production line to shut down and requiring manual intervention to remove the abnormal cells before they can resume operation. Because abnormal cells are generated at random times, they cannot be processed promptly, impacting production capacity and efficiency. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0028] Reference Figure 1-3 As shown, the automatic flower basket debris removal device of the present invention comprises: a main pipeline 100, a flower basket 1, and a debris removal unit 3. There is at least one flower basket 1, which is fixedly mounted on the main pipeline 100 and contains a stack of battery cells 2 arranged from bottom to top. The debris removal unit 3 is mounted on the main pipeline 100 and located on one side of the flower basket 1. The debris removal unit 3 is used to remove abnormal battery cells from the flower basket 1 or blow out battery cell fragments within the flower basket 1. The flower basket 1 has a rectangular frame structure, and the side of the flower basket 1 facing the debris removal unit 3 is provided with an opening to facilitate the removal of abnormal battery cells by the debris removal unit 3.

[0029] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the debris removal unit 3 includes a mounting bracket 31, a lifting module 32, a transverse driving cylinder 33, a rotating cylinder 34, a telescopic cylinder 35 and a film taking plate 36. The mounting bracket 31 is fixedly arranged on the mainstream waterline 100, the lifting module 32 is arranged on the mounting bracket 31, the transverse driving cylinder 33 is connected to the slider of the lifting module 32, the rotating cylinder 34 is connected to the transverse driving cylinder 33, the telescopic cylinder 35 is connected to the rotating cylinder 34, and the film taking plate 36 is connected to the telescopic cylinder 35. The lifting module 32 drives the pick-up plate 36 to rise and fall along the Z-axis to adjust the vertical position of the pick-up plate 36 and the battery cell 2. The traverse drive cylinder 33 drives the pick-up plate 36 to move along the X-axis to adjust its position relative to the flower basket 1. The telescopic cylinder 35 drives the pick-up plate 36 to move along the Y-axis to adjust the relative position of the pick-up plate 36 and the battery cell 2. The pick-up plate 36 is used to remove abnormal battery cells from the flower basket 1 or blow out battery cell fragments in the flower basket 1. The lifting module 32, the traverse drive cylinder 33, and the telescopic cylinder 35 form a three-axis motion system that can drive the pick-up plate 36 to move within a three-dimensional coordinate system to facilitate cell retrieval. The rotary cylinder 34 can rotate the pick-up plate 36. After the pick-up plate 36 absorbs the abnormal battery cell, the rotary cylinder 34 rotates the pick-up plate 36 so that the side of the battery cell absorbed by the pick-up plate faces upward, preventing the abnormal battery cell from falling onto the main pipeline 100 during the retrieval process.

[0030] In the above structure, the lifting module 32 uses an electric cylinder, and the lifting module 32 is connected to a vertical lifting plate 321, and the transverse driving cylinder 33 is installed on the vertical lifting plate 321. The transverse driving cylinder 33 is connected to a horizontal moving plate 331, and the rotating cylinder 34 is rotated on the horizontal moving plate 331. The rotating cylinder 34 is connected to a rotating bracket 341, and the telescopic cylinder 35 is installed on the rotating bracket 341. The telescopic cylinder 35 is connected to an adapter plate 351, and the film picking plate 36 is installed on the adapter plate 351. The adapter plate 351 and the film picking plate 36 are both rectangular flat plates, and the area of the adapter plate 351 is larger than that of the film picking plate 36.

[0031] In the above structure, the mounting bracket 31 is connected to a connecting rod 311. The other end of the connecting rod 311, away from the mounting bracket 31, is connected to an abnormal cell collection box 312. The abnormal cell collection box 312 is used to collect abnormal battery cells removed by the cell removal plate 36. The abnormal cell collection box 312 is a rectangular box with an upper opening. The battery fragments removed by the cell removal plate 36 are driven by a moving module consisting of a lifting module 32, a transverse drive cylinder 33, a rotating cylinder 34, and a telescopic cylinder 35 to switch between the flower basket 1 and the abnormal cell collection box 312. The abnormal battery cells in the flower basket 1 are driven into the abnormal cell collection box 312, and the abnormal cell collection box 312 completes the collection of the abnormal battery cells.

[0032] Reference Figure 5-7 As shown, the cell retrieval plate 36 includes a cell retrieval base plate 361, a sensor 362, and an airway cover plate 363. A gas flow channel is provided on one side of the cell retrieval base plate 361. The airway cover plate 363 covers the gas flow channel and is provided with a plurality of air ports 364 that communicate with the gas flow channel. A sensor 362 is mounted on the cell retrieval base plate 361 for detecting abnormal cells within the flower basket 1. An air inlet 367 is mounted on the cell retrieval base plate 361. One end of the air inlet 367 is connected to a compressor, and the other end of the air inlet 367 is connected to the gas flow channel. Gas entering through the air inlet 367 passes through the gas flow channel and is blown out through the plurality of air ports 364.

[0033] In the above structure, a sensor mounting groove 365 is provided on the end face of the wafer extraction substrate 361 where the gas flow path is located. A through hole 366 is provided on the bottom face of the sensor mounting groove 365, extending through to the other end face of the wafer extraction substrate 361. The sensor 362 is mounted within the sensor mounting groove 365, and the signal output end of the sensor 362 can transmit a signal through the through hole 366. A sensor cover 367 covers the sensor mounting groove 365.

[0034] Reference Figure 8As shown, a plurality of sensors 200 are provided at the bottom of the flower basket 1. When a battery cell is fragmented, the fragments will fall to the bottom of the flower basket 1 and cover the sensor 200, thereby affecting the normal signal of the sensor. Therefore, a plurality of air outlets 364 are provided to blow away the fragments on the sensor 200 at the bottom of the flower basket 1, ensuring the normal use of the sensor 200.

[0038] S2, the rotating cylinder 34 drives the sheet taking plate 36 downward;

[0039] S3, the three-axis moving mechanism composed of the lifting module 32, the lateral driving cylinder 33 and the telescopic cylinder 35 drives the film taking plate 36 to extend forward to the side of the flower basket 1;

[0042] S6, the cell removal plate 36 releases the abnormal cell into the abnormal cell collection box 312;

[0043] 2) When blowing out the battery fragments in basket 1:

[0044] S7, the three-axis moving mechanism consisting of the lifting module 32, the transverse driving cylinder 33 and the telescopic cylinder 35 drives the film picking plate 36 to move to the bottom position of the flower basket 1. The gas enters the air inlet 367, passes through the gas flow channel, and is blown out from the several blowing ports 364 to blow out the battery cell fragments covering the sensor 200.
