[0046] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

[0047] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but rather merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0048] Example 1

[0049] refer to Figures 1 to 5 The battery FPC board irregular bending equipment provided in this embodiment includes a rotary transfer mechanism 1 and a loading mechanism 2, a first bending mechanism 3, a second bending mechanism 4, and a unloading mechanism 5 arranged sequentially around the rotary transfer mechanism 1. The first bending mechanism 3 and the second bending mechanism 4 are respectively used to bend different parts of the FPC board into different shapes. It will be understood that during the rotation of the rotary transfer mechanism 1, it will sequentially pass through the loading station, the first bending station, the second bending station, and the unloading station.

[0050] The battery is first loaded by the loading mechanism 2 to the rotary transfer mechanism 1, and the rotary transfer mechanism 1 transfers the battery to the position of the first bending mechanism 3 for the first bending operation of the FPC soft board. After the first bending operation is completed, the rotary transfer mechanism 1 continues to rotate and transfers the battery to the position of the second bending mechanism 4 for the second bending operation of the FPC soft board. After the second bending operation is completed, the rotary transfer mechanism 1 transfers the battery to the position of the unloading mechanism 5, and the unloading mechanism 5 performs unloading to complete the special-shaped bending of the FPC soft board.

[0051] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the FPC includes a first bending portion A and a second bending portion B, both located in the middle of the FPC and adjacent to each other. The first bending portion A is bent by a first bending mechanism 3, while the second bending portion B is bent by a second bending mechanism 4. The first bending portion A and the second bending portion B have different bending shapes. In some embodiments, the first bending mechanism 3 and the second bending mechanism 4 can each include a bending mold of a different shape, which can be closed to achieve a specific bending shape. The combination of the first bending mechanism 3 and the second bending mechanism 4 enables the FPC to be bent in a special shape.

[0052] The loading mechanism 2 includes a loading and transporting unit 21, a positioning and conveying unit 22, and a transfer and transporting unit 23. The loading and transporting unit 21 and the transfer and transporting unit 23 are respectively located at the conveying starting point and conveying end point of the positioning and conveying unit 22. The transfer and transporting unit 23 operates between the positioning and conveying unit 22 and the rotary transfer mechanism 1. In some embodiments, the loading and transporting unit 21 can be a loading robot, and the transfer and transporting unit 23 can be a transfer robot. The positioning and conveying unit 22 is used to accurately position the battery body and the FPC soft board of the battery loaded by the loading and transporting unit 21. After being accurately positioned by the positioning and conveying unit 22, the battery is transferred by the transfer and transporting unit 23 to the rotary transfer mechanism 1 for subsequent bending operations. By accurately positioning the battery body and the FPC soft board before bending by the positioning and conveying unit 22, the accuracy of the subsequent bending operation is improved, the quality of the bending operation is improved, and thus the product quality is improved.

[0053] In some embodiments, the unloading mechanism 5 may include an unloading drive module 51, an unloading fixing assembly 52 connected to the driving end of the unloading drive module 51, and an unloading conveyor belt 53. The unloading drive module 51 drives the unloading fixing assembly 52 to operate between the rotating transfer mechanism 1 and the unloading conveyor belt 53. In this embodiment, the unloading drive module 51 includes a horizontal drive cylinder for driving the unloading fixing assembly 52 horizontally and a vertical drive cylinder for driving the unloading fixing assembly 52 vertically. The unloading fixing assembly 52 includes a battery body suction piece and an FPC soft board fixing piece to maintain the bent shape of the FPC soft board during the unloading process. The unloading conveyor belt 53 is driven forward by a stepper drive motor and is equipped with multiple fixing fixtures that can accommodate batteries and FPC soft boards. This ensures that the bent FPC soft board will not be deformed or damaged during the unloading process, thereby ensuring product quality.

[0054] The battery FPC soft board special-shaped bending equipment of this embodiment, by setting a positioning and conveying unit in the feeding mechanism, enables the battery body and the FPC soft board to be accurately positioned before the bending operation, thereby improving the accuracy of the bending operation, improving the quality of the bending operation, thereby improving the product qualification rate, and helping to improve product quality.

[0055] Example 2

[0056] As a further optimization of Example 1, refer to Figures 6 to 11 The positioning and conveying unit 22 includes a horizontal driving module 221 and a positioning platform 222 connected to the driving end of the horizontal driving module 221. The positioning platform 222 is provided with a battery positioning component 223 and an FPC soft board positioning component 224.

[0057] In this embodiment, the battery positioning assembly 223 includes a retaining wall structure, a battery side positioning member, and a battery head positioning member. The retaining wall structure is located on the side of the battery body near the location of the FPC soft board. The battery side positioning member and the retaining wall structure are located opposite each other. The battery side positioning member can push the battery body against the retaining wall structure, and the battery head positioning member can push the battery head to the set target position. The battery positioning assembly 223 can achieve precise positioning of the battery body.

[0058] In this embodiment, the FPC soft board positioning assembly 224 includes a main positioning member and a tail positioning member. The main positioning member includes two clamping plates and an opening and closing drive cylinder for controlling the opening and closing of the two clamping plates. Driven by the opening and closing drive cylinder, the two clamping plates respectively abut against the two sides of the FPC soft board body to achieve the positioning of the FPC soft board body. The tail positioning member includes a tail positioning block and an upper driving cylinder for driving the tail positioning block upward. Driven by the upper driving cylinder, the tail positioning block abuts against the lower surface of the tail of the FPC soft board to achieve the positioning of the tail of the FPC soft board. The FPC soft board positioning assembly 224 can achieve precise positioning of the FPC soft board.

[0059] In some embodiments, the transfer and handling unit 23 includes a driving component 231, a battery fixing component 232, and an FPC soft board fixing component 233. The battery fixing component 232 and the FPC soft board fixing component 233 are both connected to the driving end of the driving component 231. The driving component 231 can be a robotic arm. Specifically, the battery fixing component 232 includes a first adsorption component 2321, which is used to adsorb and fix the battery body. The FPC soft board fixing component 233 includes a second adsorption component 2331 and a clamping component 2332. The second adsorption component 2331 is used to adsorb and fix the upper surface of the FPC soft board. The clamping component 2332 is used to clamp and fix the two sides of the FPC soft board. In some embodiments, there can be multiple second adsorption components 2331 to achieve a better fixing effect. The battery body and the FPC soft board are transferred by cooperating with the battery fixing component 232 and the FPC soft board fixing component 233, which can better maintain the state of the battery body and the FPC soft board after positioning, ensure the accuracy of subsequent bending operations, and ensure the bending quality.

[0060] As a further optimization, the loading mechanism 2 also includes a first detection unit 24 for detecting the FPC board. This first detection unit 24 is located between the positioning and conveying unit 22 and the rotary transfer mechanism 1, and is located on the operating path of the transfer unit 23. In this embodiment, the first detection unit 24 is a CCD industrial camera that can take photos of the FPC board's position and transmit this position information to the transfer unit 23. The transfer unit 23 then corrects the FPC board's position based on this position information, ensuring that the FPC board can be accurately loaded onto the rotary transfer mechanism 1, further improving the accuracy of subsequent bending operations.

[0061] The rotary transfer mechanism 1 includes a turntable unit 11 and a plurality of battery fixing positions 12 disposed on the turntable unit 11. During the rotation of the turntable unit 11, the battery fixing positions 12 sequentially pass through the loading station, the first bending station, the second bending station, and the unloading station. In some embodiments, the loading station, the first bending station, the second bending station, and the unloading station each correspond to a battery fixing position 12, thereby enabling simultaneous operation of multiple stations and effectively improving production efficiency. Preferably, each station corresponds to two battery fixing positions 12.

[0062] The loading mechanism 2 also includes a second detection unit 25 for detecting and identifying the battery fixing position 12. The second detection unit 25 is located above the turntable unit 11. In this embodiment, the second detection unit 25 is a CCD industrial camera that can take a photo of the battery fixing position 12 located on the loading station, obtain the position information of the battery fixing position 12, and transmit this position information to the transfer and handling unit 23, so that the transfer and handling unit 23 can accurately transfer the battery to the battery fixing position 12, which is beneficial to improving the accuracy of subsequent bending operations and ensuring the quality of the bending operation.

[0063] The battery FPC soft board special-shaped bending equipment of this embodiment can achieve precise positioning of the battery body and FPC soft board by arranging the battery positioning component and the FPC soft board positioning component on the positioning table, thereby improving the accuracy of subsequent bending operations; by arranging the battery fixing component and the FPC soft board fixing component, the battery body and FPC soft board transferred to the rotating transfer mechanism can remain in the positioned state, thereby ensuring the accuracy of subsequent bending operations and improving the quality of bending operations; by arranging the first detection unit and the second detection unit, the quality of bending operations is further improved and product quality is guaranteed.

[0064] Example 3

[0065] As a further optimization of Example 1, refer to Figures 12 to 17The rotary transfer mechanism 1 includes a turntable unit 11 and a plurality of battery fixing positions 12 disposed on the turntable unit 11. The first bending mechanism 3 includes a first mold unit 31 and a roller unit 32. The first mold unit 31 is disposed on the turntable unit 11 and is located on one side of the battery fixing positions 12. The roller unit 32 is disposed on the outer periphery of the turntable unit 11 and is used to push the FPC soft board along the first mold unit 31 to bend.

[0066] In this embodiment, the first mold unit 31 includes a first mold and a first drive cylinder for driving the first mold to extend or retract. The roller unit 32 includes a roller assembly, a second drive cylinder for driving the roller assembly to move up and down, and a third drive cylinder for driving the roller assembly to move forward and backward. After the transfer unit 23 transfers the battery to the battery fixing position 12, the turntable unit 11 rotates to transfer the battery to the position of the first bending mechanism 3. At this time, the first drive cylinder drives the first mold to extend. When extended to the right position, the first mold will be located below the first bending portion A. The roller assembly then rolls downward from above the first bending portion A, causing the first bending portion A to bend vertically along the first mold. After bending a certain distance, the roller assembly rolls forward, causing the first bending portion A to bend horizontally along the first mold.

[0067] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the angles formed by the crease of the first bending portion A and the two side edges of the FPC soft board body are 45° and 135° respectively. The shape of the first mold matches the shape of the first bending portion A after bending. The roller unit 32 pushes the FPC soft board along the first mold to bend, so that the first bending portion A can be bent into a specific shape.

[0068] As a further optimization, the first bending mechanism 3 also includes a second mold unit 33 for pressing with the first mold unit 31, and the second mold unit 33 is arranged adjacent to the roller unit 32. The second mold unit 33 includes a second mold and a fourth driving cylinder for driving the second mold forward, and the shape of the second mold is consistent with the first mold. It can be understood that the roller unit 32 pushes the FPC soft board along the first mold unit 31 to bend the first bending part A, and the pressing of the first mold unit 31 and the second mold unit 33 further shapes the first bending part A, so that the shape of the first bending part A after bending is not easy to rebound or deform, further ensuring the bending operation quality of the first bending mechanism 3. The structural schematic diagram of the first bending part A after being bent by the first bending mechanism 3 is shown in FIG. Figure 15 shown.

[0069] In some embodiments, the first bending mechanism 3 further includes a first positioning unit 34 and a second positioning unit 35, which are respectively disposed above and below the turntable unit 11. The first positioning unit 34 is used to abut against the upper surface of the first bending portion A, and the second positioning unit 35 is used to abut against the lower surface of the first bending portion A. It should be noted that both the first positioning unit 34 and the second positioning unit 35 are used to reposition the first bending portion A before bending to ensure that the first bending portion A is in the correct position. After the first positioning unit 34 and the second positioning unit 35 have completed positioning, they will return to their original positions to avoid interference with subsequent bending operations, thereby ensuring that the bending operation is carried out normally and in an orderly manner.

[0070] The second bending mechanism 4 includes a third mold unit 41 and a fourth mold unit 42. The third mold unit 41 is disposed on the turntable unit 11 and is located between the battery fixing position 12 and the first mold unit 31. The fourth mold unit 42 is disposed above the turntable unit 11 and is used for pressing together with the third mold unit 41. The third mold unit 41 includes a third mold, which is fixedly connected to the turntable unit 11. The fourth mold unit 42 includes a fourth mold and a fifth driving cylinder for driving the fourth mold to move up and down. The fourth mold can move downward to the position of the third mold and press together with the third mold. The shape of the third mold matches that of the fourth mold.

[0071] When the battery is placed on the battery fixing position 12, the second bending part B is just above the third mold. When the battery is transferred from the first bending station to the second bending station, the fourth mold is just above the second bending part B. At this time, the fifth driving cylinder drives the fourth mold to move downward and push the second bending part B against the third mold until the fourth mold and the third mold are completely pressed together to complete the bending operation.

[0072] The shape of the second bending portion B after the third mold and the fourth mold are combined is the shape of the second bending portion B after bending. In this embodiment, the shape of the second bending portion B after bending is a U-shape with the opening facing upward. The structural diagram of the second bending portion B after bending by the second bending mechanism 4 is shown in FIG. Figure 17 shown.

[0073] In some embodiments, the second bending mechanism 4 further includes a third positioning unit 43, which is disposed adjacent to the fourth mold unit 42. In this embodiment, the third positioning unit 43 includes a positioning block, a sixth drive cylinder for driving the positioning block to move horizontally, and a seventh drive cylinder for driving the positioning block to move vertically. When the battery reaches the second bending station, the positioning block first moves vertically and then horizontally to abut against the side of the FPC board to ensure that the second bending portion B is in the correct position. Afterwards, the positioning block will return to its original position, and the fourth mold unit 42 will then carry out the bending operation, thereby avoiding interference with the bending operation of the fourth mold unit 42, ensuring the normal progress of the bending operation, and ensuring operational efficiency.

[0074] The battery FPC soft board special-shaped bending equipment of this embodiment realizes the special-shaped bending of the FPC soft board through the cooperation of the first bending mechanism and the second bending mechanism, with high operation efficiency and good operation quality; through the cooperation of the first mold unit and the roller unit, the initial bending of the first bending part of the FPC soft board can be realized; through the cooperation of the first mold unit and the second mold unit, the first bending part of the FPC soft board is further bent and shaped, making the first bending part less likely to rebound or deform, which is beneficial to improving product quality; through the cooperation of the third mold unit and the fourth mold unit, the bending and forming of the second bending part of the FPC soft board is realized, with high operation efficiency and good bending effect; by setting the first positioning unit, the second positioning unit and the third positioning unit, the accuracy of the bending operation can be further improved, and the bending operation quality and product quality can be improved.
