Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of battery production equipment, in particular to a glue sticking device. Background Art

[0002] After the laminated cells are stacked, they need to be glued and hot-stamped before they can proceed to the next stage of production. The gluing process requires applying glue to multiple locations on the cell surface, necessitating the use of multiple workstations. After gluing is completed at one location, the product is transferred to the next station via a transfer mechanism.

[0003] Existing gluing devices usually set up independent transfer mechanisms between two adjacent workstations, and between the gluing mechanism and the hot stamping mechanism, and realize the transfer of products between workstations through multiple transfer mechanisms. This method has a complex structure and high cost. A large space needs to be reserved between the transfer mechanisms, resulting in an increase in the transfer stroke, which is not conducive to maintaining the stability of the battery cell. In addition, the control logic between multiple transfer mechanisms is complex, which is not conducive to controlling the production rhythm, resulting in reduced transfer efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a glue sticking device that can shorten the transfer stroke, improve the stability and efficiency of transfer, and is conducive to controlling the production rhythm of the equipment and improving production timeliness.

[0005] A gluing device comprises: a transfer mechanism, the transfer mechanism comprising a transfer platform and a transfer robot, the transfer platform being provided with a plurality of jigs arranged along a first direction; a gluing mechanism, arranged opposite to the transfer platform, for gluing the sides and body of a product; and a hot stamping mechanism, adjacently arranged downstream of the transfer platform and opposite to the gluing mechanism, for hot stamping the glued areas of the product; the transfer robot comprising a plurality of execution ends corresponding one-to-one to the jigs, the plurality of execution ends being able to simultaneously pick up products on the corresponding jigs and move along the first direction.

[0006] In the above technical solution, the transfer platform is provided with several jigs, each jig corresponds to a gluing station, and the gluing mechanism can perform corresponding gluing operations on products on multiple jigs at the same time. When the gluing action is completed, the transfer robot can pick up products on multiple jigs at the same time and drive the products to move along the first direction, thereby transferring the products to the next jig for the next step of gluing. Through a single transfer mechanism, multiple groups of products can be transferred between multiple stations at the same time, which effectively simplifies the transfer structure, saves costs, shortens the transfer stroke, and is conducive to improving the stability of the transfer. The hot stamping mechanism is arranged adjacent to the transfer platform, so that the transfer mechanism can simultaneously transfer the products on the fixture located at the tail end of the transfer platform to the hot stamping mechanism in a single transfer action. That is, the transfer mechanism can not only realize the transfer of products between gluing stations, but also transfer products from the gluing station to the hot stamping station, further improving the efficiency of transfer, shortening the transfer stroke from gluing to hot stamping, and maintaining the consistency of the gluing and hot stamping production rhythm, which is conducive to simplifying the control logic and improving production timeliness.

[0007] Furthermore, the transfer robot includes a transfer drive module and a mounting seat, and a plurality of the execution ends are arranged on the mounting seat. The transfer drive module can drive the mounting seat to move along the first direction and the third direction.

[0008] In the above technical solution, several execution ends are installed on the mounting base, and the transfer drive module can simultaneously control the actions of multiple execution ends through the mounting base, which is conducive to maintaining the consistency of actions between the execution ends. The overall structure is simple, which can reduce costs and simplify control logic.

[0009] Furthermore, the transfer mechanism includes at least one positioning component, which includes a translation drive, a lifting drive, and a positioning plate. The positioning plate is opposite to the fixture, and the translation drive and the lifting drive are respectively used to drive the positioning plate to move along the second direction and the third direction to adjust the position of the product on the corresponding fixture through the positioning plate.

[0010] In the above technical solution, the lifting drive member can control the positioning plate to move along the third direction, thereby adjusting the height of the control plate so that the positioning plate is consistent with the height of the product on the jig. The translation drive member can control the positioning plate to move along the second direction, thereby making the positioning plate close to or away from the jig. The positioning plate pushes the product on the jig to adjust the position of the product on the jig, thereby improving the accuracy and consistency of the product position.

[0011] Furthermore, the transfer mechanism also includes a plurality of dust removal pipes, and the dust removal pipes are arranged adjacent to the fixture.

[0012] In the above technical solution, the dust removal pipe can absorb the dust on the surface of the product, keep the surface of the product clean, and avoid the dust affecting the effect of the glue application.

[0013] Furthermore, the gluing mechanism includes a plurality of side gluing components and a main body gluing component. The plurality of side gluing components are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the jig, and the main body gluing component is opposite to the hot ironing mechanism.

[0014] In the above technical solution, the side gluing components are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the jig, and multiple side gluing components can simultaneously glue the products on the jig, thereby improving gluing efficiency. The main body gluing component is opposite to the hot ironing mechanism and can glue the main body of the product located on the hot ironing mechanism.

[0015] Furthermore, the hot stamping mechanism includes a rotating platform, on which are provided several placement plates for placing products, one side of the rotating platform faces the gluing mechanism, and the outer periphery of the rotating platform is provided with a side hot stamping component, a tail hot stamping component, and a dust removal component in sequence.

[0016] In the above technical solution, the product is placed on the rotating platform by the transfer robot, and the main body gluing component glues the main body of the product. After completion, the rotating platform rotates to make the product pass through the side hot stamping component and the tail hot stamping component in turn to hot stamp the gluing positions of the side and tail to make the gluing more stable. After completion, the product is taken out from the rotating platform by the unloading mechanism, and then the rotating platform is rotated to the dust removal component to clean the residual dust on the placement plate to keep the placement plate clean and prevent the newly placed products from being stuck by dust.

[0017] Furthermore, the tail hot-stamping assembly includes a pressing assembly, and the pressing assembly includes a pressing drive and a pressing block. The pressing drive can drive the pressing block to rotate and lift to press the product placed on the placement plate.

[0018] In the above technical solution, when the product moves to the tail hot-stamping assembly, the pressing drive can drive the pressing block to rotate above the product, and then drive the pressing block downward to press the product to prevent the product from shifting during tail hot-stamping.

[0019] Furthermore, a visual detection component is provided on a side of the rotating platform close to the gluing mechanism.

[0020] In the above technical solution, after the main body of the product is glued, a visual inspection component can be used to perform visual photography inspection to check the quality of the glue.

[0021] Furthermore, a loading mechanism is provided near the transfer mechanism, and the loading mechanism includes a material taking component, a turning component, and a transfer robot which are arranged in sequence.

When the gluing action is completed, the transfer robot can pick up products on multiple jigs at the same time and drive the products to move along the first direction, thereby transferring the products to the next jig for the next step of gluing. Through a single transfer mechanism, multiple groups of products can be transferred simultaneously between multiple stations, effectively simplifying the transfer structure, saving costs, shortening the transfer stroke, and helping to improve the stability of the transfer. The hot stamping mechanism is arranged adjacent to the transfer platform, so that the transfer mechanism can simultaneously transfer the products on the fixture located at the tail end of the transfer platform to the hot stamping mechanism in a single transfer action. That is, the transfer mechanism can not only realize the transfer of products between gluing stations, but also transfer products from the gluing station to the hot stamping station, further improving the efficiency of transfer, shortening the transfer stroke from gluing to hot stamping, and maintaining the consistency of the gluing and hot stamping production rhythm, which is conducive to simplifying the control logic and improving production timeliness.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings illustrate preferred embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 In a preferred embodiment, the gluing device of the present invention mainly includes a transfer mechanism 1, a gluing mechanism 2, a hot stamping mechanism 3, a loading mechanism 4, and a unloading mechanism 5.

[0037] The transfer mechanism 1 includes a transfer platform 11 and a transfer robot 12. The transfer platform 11 is equipped with a plurality of jigs 111 arranged along a first direction X. The gluing mechanism 2 is disposed opposite the transfer platform 11 and is used to apply glue to the sides and body of the product. The hot stamping mechanism 3 is disposed adjacent to and downstream of the transfer platform 11 and opposite the gluing mechanism 2 and is used to hot stamp the glued areas of the product. The transfer robot 12 includes a plurality of actuators 121 corresponding to the jigs 111. These actuators 121 can simultaneously pick up products from the corresponding jigs 111 and move them along the first direction X.

[0038] Exemplarily, the jig 111 is used to place products. Each jig 111 of this embodiment is provided with two product placement positions to simultaneously glue two products and improve gluing efficiency. In other embodiments, the number of product placement positions of each jig 111 can also be set according to actual needs. Several jigs 111 are arranged on the transfer platform 11 along the first direction X, and the distance between two adjacent jigs 111 is equal. In this embodiment, the side of the product needs to be glued at three positions. Therefore, three jigs 111 are set, corresponding to the three side gluing stations respectively, and the execution end 121 is set to three corresponding to the jig 111. It can be understood that in other possible embodiments, the number of jigs 111 and execution ends 121 can be set according to actual needs, and this application does not limit it here.

[0039] The transfer robot 12 includes a transfer drive module 122 and a mounting seat 123. A plurality of execution ends 121 are arranged on the mounting seat 123. The transfer drive module 122 can drive the mounting seat 123 to move along the first direction X and the third direction Z. Exemplarily, the transfer drive module 122 is a two-axis servo motor, which is used to drive the mounting seat 123 to move along the first direction X and the third direction Z. The output end of the transfer drive module 122 is connected to the mounting seat 123. The execution end 121 includes an adsorption part for adsorbing the product. In this embodiment, there are three execution ends 121, and the three execution ends 121 are arranged along the first direction X and mounted on the mounting seat 123, and the distance between the execution ends 121 matches the distance between the fixtures 111. The transfer drive module 122 can simultaneously control the actions of multiple execution ends 121 through the mounting seat 123, which is conducive to maintaining the consistency of the actions between the execution ends 121. The overall structure is simple, which can reduce costs and simplify control logic.

[0040] In order to facilitate the understanding of the above technical solution, its working principle is described below: the jigs 111 from the front end to the rear end of the transfer platform 11 are defined as the first jig, the second jig and the third jig respectively, and the execution ends 121 correspond to the first execution end, the second execution end and the third execution end. At the beginning, the product is placed on the first jig by the feeding mechanism 4, and the gluing mechanism 2 performs the first gluing action on the product. After completion, the first execution end picks up the product, and the transfer drive module 122 drives the mounting seat 123 to move a unit distance, so that the first execution end is opposite to the second jig, and the first execution end places the product on the second jig, and then moves The loading drive module 122 drives the mounting seat 123 to reset, and the gluing mechanism 2 performs the second gluing operation. After completion, the second actuator picks up the product, and the transfer drive module 122 drives the mounting seat 123 to move a unit distance, so that the second actuator end is opposite the third fixture. The second actuator end places the product on the third fixture. Then the gluing mechanism 2 performs the third gluing operation. After completion, the third actuator end picks up the product, and the transfer drive module 122 drives the mounting seat 123 to move a unit distance, so that the third actuator end is opposite the placement position of the blanching mechanism 3. The third actuator end places the product on the blanching mechanism 3, and the cycle continues. It can be understood that when each fixture 111 has a product placed on it, each actuator end 121 picks up a product in a single transfer operation and drives the product to move one station, thereby achieving the simultaneous movement of multiple products.

[0041] It can be seen from the above technical solution that the gluing mechanism 2 can perform corresponding gluing operations on products on multiple jigs 111 at the same time. After the gluing action is completed, the transfer robot 12 can pick up products on multiple jigs 111 at the same time and drive the products to move along the first direction X, thereby transferring the products to the next jig 111 for the next step of gluing. Through a single transfer mechanism 1, multiple groups of products can be transferred simultaneously between multiple workstations, effectively simplifying the transfer structure, saving costs, shortening the transfer stroke, and helping to improve the stability of the transfer. The hot-scalding mechanism 3 is arranged adjacent to the transfer platform 11, so that the transfer mechanism 1 can simultaneously transfer the product on the jig 111 located at the tail end of the transfer platform 11 to the hot-scalding mechanism 3 in a single transfer action, that is, the transfer mechanism 1 can not only realize the transfer of products between the gluing stations, but also realize the transfer of products from the gluing station to the hot-scalding station, further improving the efficiency of transfer, shortening the transfer stroke from gluing to hot-scalding, and maintaining the consistency of the gluing and hot-scalding production rhythm, which is conducive to simplifying the control logic and improving production timeliness.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 4The transfer mechanism 1 includes at least one positioning assembly 13, which includes a translational drive 131, a lifting drive 132, and a positioning plate 133. The positioning plate 133 is opposite the jig 111. The translational drive 131 and the lifting drive 132 are respectively used to drive the positioning plate 133 to move in the second direction Y and the third direction Z, so as to adjust the position of the product on the corresponding jig 111 through the positioning plate 133. The translational drive 131 and the lifting drive 132 can adopt existing linear drive devices, such as cylinders. The lifting drive 132 can control the positioning plate 133 to move in the third direction Z, thereby adjusting the height of the control plate so that the positioning plate 133 and the product on the jig 111 are at the same height. The translational drive 131 can control the positioning plate 133 to move in the second direction Y, thereby moving the positioning plate 133 closer to or farther away from the jig 111. The positioning plate 133 pushes the product on the jig 111, thereby adjusting the position of the product on the jig 111 and improving the accuracy and consistency of the product position.

[0043] It is understood that in this embodiment, there is only one positioning assembly 13, which is located at the front end of the transfer platform 11 and corresponds to the first jig 111. The positioning assembly 13 is used to adjust the position of the product initially placed on the jig 111. After the adjustment is completed, the subsequent jigs 111 can choose not to be equipped with the positioning assembly 13. Of course, in other possible embodiments, in order to further improve the accuracy of product positioning, the positioning assembly 13 can also be installed on the subsequent jigs 111.

[0044] In this embodiment, the transfer mechanism 1 also includes several dust removal tubes 14, which are located adjacent to the jig 111. In practice, a corresponding dust removal tube 14 can be installed at each product placement location on the jig 111 to ensure effective dust removal. These dust removal tubes 14 absorb dust from the product surface, keeping it clean and preventing dust from affecting the adhesive application process.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The gluing mechanism 2 includes a plurality of side gluing components 21 and a main body gluing component 22. The plurality of side gluing components 21 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the jig 111, and the main body gluing component 22 is opposite to the hot ironing mechanism 3. It should be noted that the side gluing components 21 and the main body gluing components 22 can adopt existing gluing devices, such as a gluing feeder, and their specific structure and working principle are not described in detail in this application. The side gluing components 21 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the jig 111, and multiple side gluing components 21 can glue the products on the jig 111 at the same time, thereby improving the gluing efficiency. The main body gluing component 22 is opposite to the hot ironing mechanism 3 and can glue the main body of the product located on the hot ironing mechanism 3.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 5The hot stamping mechanism 3 includes a rotating platform 31, which is provided with a plurality of placement plates 32 for placing products. One side of the rotating platform 31 faces the gluing mechanism 2. The outer periphery of the rotating platform 31 is sequentially provided with a side hot stamping assembly 33, a tail hot stamping assembly 34, and a dust removal assembly 35. The product is placed on the rotating platform 31 by the transfer robot 12. The main body gluing assembly 22 glues the main body of the product. After completion, the rotating platform 31 rotates so that the product passes through the side hot stamping assembly 33 and the tail hot stamping assembly 34 in sequence to hot stamp the side and tail gluing areas, making the gluing more stable. After completion, the product is removed from the rotating platform 31 by the unloading mechanism 5. The rotating platform 31 then rotates to the dust removal assembly 35 to clean the residual dust on the placement plates 32, keeping the placement plates 32 clean and preventing newly placed products from being contaminated by dust.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 6 In this embodiment, the tail blanching assembly 34 includes a pressing assembly 341, which includes a pressing driver 3411 and a pressing block 3412. The pressing driver 3411 can drive the pressing block 3412 to rotate and elevate to compress the product placed on the placement plate 32. In specific implementation, when the product moves to the tail blanching assembly 34, the pressing driver 3411 can drive the pressing block 3412 to rotate above the product and then drive the pressing block 3412 downward, thereby pressing the product to prevent it from shifting during tail blanching.

[0048] A visual inspection assembly 36 is provided on the side of the rotating platform 31 near the gluing mechanism 2. For example, the visual inspection assembly 36 is located below the rotating platform 31 and opposite the placement plate 32 extending from the rotating platform 31. After the main body of the product is glued, the visual inspection assembly 36 can perform visual photography inspection to verify the gluing quality.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 7A loading mechanism 4 is provided near the transfer mechanism 1. This mechanism comprises a pick-up assembly 41, a flipping assembly 42, and a transfer robot 43, arranged in sequence. The pick-up assembly 41 and transfer robot 43 can be existing robots, and their structures are not described in detail here. The flipping assembly 42 is used to flip the product so that the surface to be processed faces upward. Exemplarily, the flipping mechanism comprises a flipping drive 421 and a swing arm 422. The flipping drive 421 can be a motor, and the swing arm 422 is equipped with a suction plate 423 for sucking the product. In practice, the pick-up assembly 41 picks up the product and places it on the flipping assembly 42. After the flipping assembly 42 flips the product, the transfer robot 43 transfers the product to the transfer mechanism 1. This layout is rational and efficient. A discharge mechanism 5 is provided near the blanching mechanism 3 for removing the product from the blanching mechanism 3. The discharge mechanism 5 removes the blanched product from the blanching mechanism 3. As will be appreciated, the discharge mechanism 5 can be an existing device, such as a robot.
