[0027] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure and technical effects of the present invention in combination with the embodiments and drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, characteristics and effects of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, other embodiments obtained by technical personnel in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, all the connection / connection relationships involved in the patent do not refer to the direct connection of components, but refer to the fact that a better connection structure can be formed by adding or reducing connection accessories according to the specific implementation situation. The various technical features in the creation of the present invention can be combined interactively without conflicting with each other.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 5 An embodiment of the present invention provides a transfer plate placing device, which includes a tab mechanism 1, a plate placing mechanism 2 and a tab pushing mechanism 3.

[0029] Functionally, the tab pushing mechanism 1 is used to push up the upper tabs of the positive and negative poles on the two battery cells one by one, the sheet placing mechanism 2 is used to stack the two adapter sheets on the lower tabs corresponding to the positive and negative poles of the two battery cells respectively, and the tab straightening mechanism 3 is used to flatten the raised upper tabs on the two battery cells one by one.

[0030] Structurally, the tab shifting mechanism 1 includes a first lifting slide, a lifting plate 12 arranged on the first lifting slide, four translation components 13 arranged on the lifting plate 12, and four shifting pins 14 respectively arranged on the four translation components 13. The first lifting slide is used to drive the lifting plate 12 to rise or fall, and the translation component 13 is used to drive the shifting pin 14 to insert between the two layers of tabs.

[0031] The unloading mechanism 2 includes a unloading robot 21, a second bracket 22 and two suction cups 23. The second bracket 22 is set on the unloading robot 21. The two suction cups 23 are respectively set on the second bracket 22. The suction cups 23 are used to suck the adapter. The unloading robot 21 is used to drive the second bracket 22 to transfer between the two battery cells.

[0032] The tab-straightening mechanism 3 includes a frame 31, a moving assembly 32 arranged on the frame 31, a first bracket 33 arranged on the moving assembly 32, a first driving member 34 installed on the first bracket 33, and two straightening rods 35 arranged on the first driving member 34. The moving assembly 32 is used to drive the two straightening rods 35 to move to the upper tabs of the two battery cells respectively, and the first driving member 34 is used to drive the two straightening rods 35 to straighten the upper tabs on the two battery cells respectively.

[0033] During operation, the first lifting slide drives the lifting plate 12 to descend, and the lifting plate 12 drives the four pins 14 to descend to the position between the two layers of the positive and negative poles of the two battery cells at the same time. Then, each translation component 13 drives the corresponding pin 14 to be inserted between the two layers of the pole ears at the same time. Then, the first lifting slide drives the lifting plate 12 to rise, and the lifting plate 12 drives the four pins 14 to rise at the same time, and the upper layers of the positive and negative poles of the two battery cells are simultaneously lifted. Then, the two suction cups 23 respectively suck up the two adapters, and the unloading robot 21 drives the second bracket 22 to move to the position between the two battery cells, so that the two suction cups 23 can be lifted. The disk 23 is located directly above the positive and negative poles of the two battery cells. The two adsorptions simultaneously release the two adapter plates, so that the two adapter plates are stacked on the lower tabs corresponding to the positive and negative poles of the two battery cells. Finally, the moving component 32 drives the first bracket 33 to move to drive the two smoothing rods 35 to move to the upper tabs of the two battery cells respectively. The first driving member 34 drives the two smoothing rods 35 to flatten the upper tabs on the two battery cells respectively. Therefore, the two adapter plates can be placed between the two layers of tabs of the positive and negative poles of the two battery cells at the same time, reducing the labor intensity of workers and greatly improving production efficiency.

[0034] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some preferred embodiments, the translation assembly 13 includes a motor 131, a gear 132 and a rack 133. The motor 131 is installed on the lifting plate 12, the gear 132 is set on the output shaft of the motor 131, the gear 132 is engaged with the rack 133, a vertical plate 134 is set at the bottom of the lifting plate 12, the rack 133 is slidably connected to the vertical plate 134, and the pin 14 is set on the rack 133.

[0035] It is understandable that the motor 131 drives the gear 132 to rotate, the gear 132 drives the rack 133 to move, and the rack 133 drives the setting needle 14 to move, thereby improving the transmission accuracy and achieving accurate translation of the setting needle 14.

[0036] Furthermore, a slide groove 135 is provided on the vertical plate 134, and the slide groove 135 is arranged horizontally. The rack 133 is connected to the pin 14 through a slider 136. The slider 136 passes through the slide groove 135 and slides along the length direction of the slide groove 135. The slide groove 135 can support and guide the slider 136, thereby improving the stability of the pin 14 when it moves.

[0037] In terms of position, the setting pin 14 is located on the side of the vertical plate 134 away from the rack 133, which is convenient for the arrangement of parts and can prevent the setting pin 14 from interfering with other parts when moving.

[0038] Furthermore, a photoelectric sensor 137 is provided on one side of the vertical plate 134, and a photoelectric sensor sheet 138 is provided on the slider 136. The slider 136 drives the photoelectric sensor sheet 138 to move along the length direction of the slide groove 135. The photoelectric sensor 137 is used to sense the distance moved by the photoelectric sensor sheet 138, thereby accurately controlling the insertion depth of the dial pin 14 to ensure that the upper electrode ear can be completely dialed up.

[0039] Structurally, the pin 14 is L-shaped, which can prevent the translation assembly 13 from colliding with the battery cell when the pin 14 is inserted into the two layers of tabs. Moreover, the insertion end of the pin 14 is provided with a pointed portion, which facilitates the smooth insertion of the pin 14 between the two layers of tabs.

[0040] In some preferred embodiments, the moving assembly 32 includes a translation frame 321, a second lifting slide 322 arranged on the translation frame 321, and a second driving member 323 for driving the translation frame 321 to translate, the first bracket 33 is arranged on the second lifting slide 322, and the translation frame 321 is slidably connected to the frame 31.

[0041] Specifically, the second driving member 323 is a telescopic cylinder, which has a simple structure and reduces the manufacturing cost of the equipment.

[0042] Furthermore, a linear guide rail 324 is provided between the frame 31 and the translation frame 321 . The length direction of the linear guide rail 324 extends along the telescopic direction of the telescopic cylinder, thereby improving the stability of the translation frame 321 during movement.

[0043] Furthermore, the first driving member 34 is a finger cylinder, and the two pull rods 35 are respectively provided on the two output ends of the finger cylinder. The finger cylinder can simultaneously drive the two pull rods 35 to move closer to or away from each other.

[0044] It can be understood that when the adapter is stacked on the lower pole ear, the telescopic cylinder drives the translation frame 321 to move above the upper pole ear, so that the two pull rods 35 are respectively located directly above the upper pole ears of the two battery cells. Then, the second lifting slide 322 drives the first bracket 33 to descend, and the first bracket 33 drives the two pull rods 35 to press on the top of the upper pole ears of the two battery cells respectively. Then, the finger cylinder drives the two pull rods 35 closer to each other at the same time, so that the two pull rods 35 can simultaneously smooth out the upper pole ears on the two battery cells. The overall structure is simple and convenient for the arrangement of components.

[0045] The above is a specific description of the preferred implementation of the present invention, but the invention of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without violating the spirit of the present invention. These equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included in the scope defined by the claims of this application.
