Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of jig transportation, in particular to an electromagnetic jig transportation mechanism. Background Art
[0002] During the battery production process, the batteries placed on the jig need to be welded. In order to improve welding efficiency, an automatic battery welding production line is usually designed to weld batteries in batches and efficiently. For example, the Chinese invention patent with publication number CN117817212A, entitled Welding System, Battery Production Line and Welding Method, has a welding system including a welding assembly, a loading assembly, and a driving assembly; the loading assembly is movably arranged on a frame, and each loading position is correspondingly provided with a loading assembly, and the loading assemblies corresponding to multiple loading positions are connected in sequence, the loading assembly is used to carry bare cells, and the welding assembly is used to weld the bare cells carried by the loading assembly at the welding position. Although these welding devices such as welding systems and battery production lines can weld batteries quickly and efficiently. However, in actual production, these existing welding devices still have the following significant deficiencies when transporting battery loading jigs: The driving device of the battery loading jig generally uses a conveyor belt or other transport mechanism to form a transport line to achieve automatic and efficient battery transfer; Furthermore, when the battery loading jig is placed at a preset position on the conveyor line, there will be installation errors, and when the battery loading jig is subsequently transported, there will also be positional offsets between the battery loading jig and the conveyor line. Consequently, there will be a large error between the battery's position and the processing position of the battery, and the welding head cannot be accurately aligned with the battery's processing position, resulting in frequent weld deviations and cold welds during the welding process, which not only increases production costs but also seriously reduces the production yield of the battery. Utility Model Content
[0003] (1) Problems to be solved
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an electromagnetic fixture transportation mechanism in view of the current status of the existing technology.
[0005] (2) Technical solution
[0006] The utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0007] An electromagnetic jig transport mechanism includes an electromagnetic conveyor track and a battery jig. The electromagnetic conveyor track is mounted with a conveyor guide rail and an electromagnetic control assembly. The electromagnetic conveyor track is used to transport the battery jig from one end of the electromagnetic conveyor track to the other end. The battery jig includes a sliding plate and a battery carrier plate. The sliding plate is provided with a groove that engages with the conveyor guide rail. The battery jig is used to load batteries.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the battery jig is transported by an electromagnetic conveyor track; the actual position of the battery jig on the electromagnetic conveyor track is monitored by the electromagnetic control component in combination with the sensor. When it is found that the actual position of the battery jig at a certain transportation time point deviates from the preset position of the battery jig at that time point, the electromagnetic track unit under the battery jig receives the signal of the battery jig offset and adjusts the electromagnetic force through the electromagnetic control box to adjust the battery jig transportation speed or move the battery jig back, so that the battery jig can correspond to the preset position of the battery jig at the corresponding transportation time point at the subsequent transportation time point. When the battery jig is transported to the welding position, the jig can be accurately located at the preset welding position, and then when the welding head moves down the welding head, the welding head and the battery processing position will not be offset or staggered, so as to complete more accurate welding work, thereby improving product quality, increasing yield, reducing losses, and reducing production costs. By setting up loading modules and unloading modules at both ends of the electromagnetic conveying track and setting up a lower transmission module between the loading module and the unloading module, the reflow of the battery fixture can be realized, and multiple sets of processes can be designed. The first set of processes welds the battery at the first point in the electromagnetic fixture transportation mechanism, and the second set of processes welds the battery at the second point in the electromagnetic fixture transportation mechanism. The welding of multiple points in the battery module can be completed through multiple rounds of processes, without extending other welding production lines in series to complete the entire welding process, saving the equipment's floor space and the cost of configuring the equipment.
[0009] Furthermore, the electromagnetic conveyor track comprises multiple electromagnetic track units. The electromagnetic control assembly comprises multiple electromagnetic control boxes, which are mounted on the electromagnetic track units. The electromagnetic control boxes house power supply circuits, control circuits, signal processing circuits, motors, electromagnets, iron cores, springs, and coils. Furthermore, the electromagnetic control boxes are equipped with sensors or signal receiving and processing devices.
[0010] Furthermore, a sliding plate support block is installed above the electromagnetic control box, a guide rail unit is installed on the electromagnetic track unit, multiple electromagnetic track units are connected and arranged in a straight line, and the transport guide rail is composed of multiple aligned guide rail units.
[0011] Furthermore, a transport pallet is installed on the sliding plate.
[0012] Furthermore, a loading module is mounted at one end of the electromagnetic conveyor track, with a drag chain mounted on one side of the loading module. The loading module is used to move the battery jig up and onto the electromagnetic conveyor track. A discharge module is mounted at the other end of the electromagnetic conveyor track, with a drag chain mounted on one side of the discharge module. The discharge module is used to move the battery jig down and off the electromagnetic conveyor track.
[0013] Furthermore, a lower transmission module is installed between the loading module and the unloading module. One end of the lower transmission module receives the battery jig transported from the unloading module. After the battery jig undergoes linear motion in the lower transmission module, the other end of the lower transmission module transports the battery jig to the loading module.
[0014] Furthermore, the lower transport module includes a belt, rollers, and a transport track that fits into the grooves of the sliding plate. The belt drags the transport pallet to move the battery jig along the lower transport module. A belt support block is mounted on the transport track, which in turn is equipped with a sensor mounting plate, which in turn is equipped with a sensor.
[0015] Furthermore, the loading module and the unloading module are equipped with a transport platform that can move up and down, and an electromagnetic track unit is placed on the transport platform. The transport platform is used to load the battery fixture and enable the battery fixture to move back and forth between the lower transmission module and the electromagnetic conveyor track.
[0016] Furthermore, a plurality of downward suction explosion-proof plate assemblies are provided on the other side of the battery fixture opposite to the electromagnetic conveying track.
[0017] (3) Beneficial effects
[0018] The present invention uses an electromagnetic conveyor track to transport the battery jig; the actual position of the battery jig on the electromagnetic conveyor track is monitored through an electromagnetic control box in combination with a sensor. When it is found that the actual position of the battery jig at a certain transportation time point deviates from the preset position of the battery jig at that time point, the electromagnetic track unit under the battery jig will adjust the electromagnetic force through the electromagnetic control box to adjust the battery jig transportation speed or move the battery jig back, so that the battery jig at the subsequent transportation time point corresponds to the preset position of the battery jig at the transportation time point. When the battery jig is transported to the welding position, the jig can be accurately located at the preset welding position, and then when the welding head moves down the welding head, the welding head and the battery processing position will not be offset or staggered, so as to complete more accurate welding work, thereby improving product quality, increasing yield, reducing losses, and reducing production costs.
