Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic component production equipment manufacturing, in particular to a tooling loading and handling device. Background Art

[0002] The current tool loading and handling device is for example a Chinese utility model patent, announcement number: CN209442267U, titled: Handling device, handling robot and stringing machine, hereinafter referred to as this document, which discloses a tool handling device, including a handling body, a battery cell loading part and a tool handling part. In simple terms, it is a mounting rack, a device for sucking battery cells and a device for grabbing tooling. This existing clamp has many disadvantages in actual use. For example, when the size of the battery cell and the tooling size changes, this tool handling device needs to be replaced as a whole. For example, this document Figure 1 As shown, the battery cell loading part is an integral structure and cannot adapt to battery cells in different positions.

[0003] On the other hand, this document describes in paragraph

[0042] of the specification that tooling can be obtained by using a suction cup or an electromagnet, but an electromagnet is not similar to a suction cup. Once the suction cup is adsorbed, the pipeline is in a relatively large vacuum state, and the air pressure sound will be very small, making it easy to determine whether the tooling is stably adsorbed. However, an electromagnet is different. When an electromagnet is energized, it generates magnetic force. Regardless of whether the tooling is stably adsorbed on the handling device, the electromagnet will continue to work normally. Therefore, the structure described cannot guarantee the stable operation of the handling device. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the problems in the related technology, the utility model provides a tool loading and handling device that can adapt to the fine-tuning of battery cells in different positions, while ensuring the stable adsorption of the electromagnet, avoiding the problem of tooling falling and not being discovered in time.

[0005] The technical solution of this patent is as follows: a tool loading and handling device, including a three-axis mobile module and a tool silicon wafer handling device installed on the three-axis mobile module, the tool silicon wafer handling device includes a bracket, a tool handling unit and a silicon wafer handling unit, the bracket is fixedly connected to the movable end of the three-axis mobile module, the tool handling unit is installed on the bracket through a longitudinal sliding groove, and the silicon wafer handling unit is installed on the bracket through a transverse sliding groove.

[0006] By setting the longitudinal sliding groove, the tooling handling unit can be adjusted according to the size and position of the tooling, so that a variety of tooling can be obtained. At the same time, by setting the transverse sliding groove, the silicon wafer handling unit can adapt to battery cells of different sizes, thereby improving the adaptability of the entire tooling loading and handling device.

[0007] Specifically, the longitudinal sliding groove and the transverse sliding groove are configured as waist holes.

[0008] Specifically, the tool handling unit includes electromagnet assemblies correspondingly arranged at both ends of the bracket.

[0009] Specifically, the electromagnet assembly includes an elastic telescopic structure, an induction device and an electromagnetic head. The electromagnetic head is installed at one end of the elastic telescopic structure, and the other end of the elastic telescopic structure is connected to the bracket. The induction device is set corresponding to the position of the electromagnetic head.

[0010] The specific sensing device includes a sensing switch and a mounting column. The sensing switch is arranged in the mounting column, and the mounting column is fixedly mounted on the bracket.

[0011] By setting the induction switch, the normal absorption of the tooling can be continuously monitored during the operation of the equipment. Once the tooling falls, the induction switch will send an electrical signal to the controller, thereby controlling the equipment to stop for maintenance.

[0012] Preferably, an observation port is provided on the mounting column for the position of the indicator light of the induction switch.

[0013] Through the setting of the observation port, during the operation or debugging of the tooling loading and handling device, it becomes clear at a glance whether the induction switch senses the presence of the tooling. If the indicator light is on at the observation port, it means the induction switch senses it, otherwise it means it does not sense it. This is convenient for daily monitoring of whether the tooling is obtained normally, and it is also convenient for adjusting the sensing range of the induction switch during debugging.

[0014] Specifically, the elastic telescopic structure includes a guide column and a spring, one end of the guide column is connected to the electromagnetic head, one end of the spring abuts against the electromagnetic head and the other end abuts against the bracket.

[0015] Preferably, the other end of the guide column is sleeved in the linear bearing.

[0016] Through the setting of springs, guide columns and linear bearings, the electromagnetic head can slide elastically relative to the bracket, so that the battery head is cushioned when contacting the tooling, avoiding damage to the device or tooling caused by hard contact. At the same time, the elastic setting provides the three-axis mobile module with movement margin, thereby improving the adaptability of the equipment.

[0017] Specifically, a connecting plate is formed on the top of the mounting column, a pad is provided between the connecting plate and the bracket, and the connecting plate is connected to the bracket by passing through the pad via bolts.

[0018] By setting the spacer blocks, spacers of different thicknesses can be replaced when using induction switches of different lengths, without the need to redesign the structure of the mounting column, thereby improving the compatibility of the device.

[0019] Specifically, a top screw hole is opened on the mounting column below the observation port and in a direction relative to the induction switch.

[0020] The setting of the top screw hole can conveniently fine-tune and fix the induction switch.

[0021] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are merely illustrative and do not limit the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, with examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, identical numerals in different figures represent identical or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all possible embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of devices consistent with certain aspects of the present invention, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0031] As attached Figure 1-6 As shown, the tool loading and handling device includes a three-axis mobile module 1 and a tool silicon wafer handling device 2 installed on the three-axis mobile module 1. The tool silicon wafer handling device 2 includes a bracket 3, a tool handling unit 4 and a silicon wafer handling unit 5. The bracket 3 is fixedly connected to the movable end of the three-axis mobile module 1. The tool handling unit 4 is mounted on the bracket 3 through a longitudinal sliding groove 31, and the silicon wafer handling unit 5 is mounted on the bracket 3 through a transverse sliding groove 32. In this embodiment, the longitudinal sliding groove 31 and the transverse sliding groove 32 are configured as waist holes. Through the setting of the longitudinal sliding groove 31, the tool handling unit 4 can be adjusted according to the size and position of the tool, thereby enabling the acquisition of a variety of tooling. At the same time, through the setting of the transverse sliding groove 32, the silicon wafer handling unit 5 can adapt to different sizes of battery cells, thereby improving the adaptability of the entire tool loading and handling device. In this embodiment, the three-axis mobile module 1 adopts a combination of a lifting module, a transverse movement module and a forward and backward movement module to achieve the ability to lift, move, and fine-tune the front and back movements.

[0032] In order to more stably absorb and place the tooling, in this embodiment, the tooling handling unit 4 includes an electromagnet assembly 4 correspondingly arranged at both ends of the bracket 3, wherein the electromagnet assembly 4 includes an elastic telescopic structure 411, a sensing device 412, and an electromagnetic head 413. The electromagnetic head 413 is installed at one end of the elastic telescopic structure, and the other end of the elastic telescopic structure 411 is connected to the bracket 3. The sensing device 412 is arranged corresponding to the position of the electromagnetic head 413. The elastic telescopic structure 411 includes a guide column and a spring. One end of the guide column is connected to the electromagnetic head 413, and one end of the spring abuts the electromagnetic head 413 and the other end abuts the bracket 3. Of course, to ensure smoother operation of the guide column, the other end of the guide column is sleeved in a linear bearing.

[0033] By setting the spring, guide column and linear bearing, the electromagnetic head 413 can slide elastically relative to the bracket 3, so that the battery head is buffered when contacting the tooling, avoiding damage to the device or tooling caused by hard contact. At the same time, the elastic setting provides the three-axis mobile module 1 with a movement margin, thereby improving the adaptability of the equipment.

[0034] Back to the sensing device 412 , the sensing device 412 includes a sensing switch 4121 and a mounting column 4122 . The sensing switch 4121 is disposed in the mounting column 4122 . The mounting column 4122 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 3 . An observation port 41221 is provided on the mounting column 4122 for the position of the indicator light of the sensing switch 4121 .

[0035] By setting the induction switch 4121, the normal pickup of the tooling can be continuously monitored during the operation of the equipment. If the tooling falls, the induction switch 4121 will send an electrical signal to the controller, thereby controlling the equipment to stop for maintenance. By setting the observation port 41221, during the operation or debugging of the tooling loading and handling device, it becomes clear at a glance whether the induction switch 4121 senses the presence of the tooling. If the indicator light on the observation port 41221 is on, it means that the induction switch 4121 has sensed it, otherwise it has not sensed it. This facilitates daily monitoring of whether the tooling is normally collected, and also facilitates adjusting the sensing range of the induction switch 4121 during debugging.

[0036] In order to facilitate the adjustment of the sensor switch 4121, a top screw hole 41222 is opened on the installation column 4122 below the observation port 41221 and in the direction of the sensor switch 4121. The setting of the top screw hole 41222 can facilitate fine-tuning and fixing the sensor switch 4121.

[0037] Specifically, a connecting plate 41223 is formed on the top of the mounting column 4122 , and a pad 41224 is provided between the connecting plate 41223 and the bracket 3 . The connecting plate 41223 is connected to the bracket 3 by bolts passing through the pad 41224 .

[0038] By setting the pad 41224, when using the induction switch 4121 of different lengths, the pad 41224 of different thicknesses can be replaced without redesigning the structure of the installation column 4122, thereby improving the compatibility of the device.

[0039] Other embodiments of the present invention will readily occur to those skilled in the art after considering the specification and practicing the invention herein. This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the present invention that follow the general principles of the invention and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not disclosed herein. The description and examples are to be considered as exemplary only, with the true scope and spirit of the invention being indicated by the appended claims.

The scope of the present invention is limited only by the appended claims.
