Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vision-based nail insertion and removal machine technology, and in particular to a lithium battery vision-based nail insertion and removal machine. Background Technology

[0002] Lithium batteries are batteries that use lithium metal or lithium alloy as the negative electrode material and a non-aqueous electrolyte solution. Therefore, these batteries are also called lithium metal batteries. Lithium batteries have the characteristics of high charging density, long life and high unit cost. During the production of lithium batteries, it is necessary to insert and remove the glue pins, so a pin-removing machine is required.

[0003] However, in most existing devices, when removing adhesive nails, it is necessary to move a robotic arm to place the adhesive nails into a placement box and then retrieve new adhesive nails to install on the lithium battery. This process is relatively complicated and has low work efficiency. Therefore, a vision-based nail removal machine for lithium batteries is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a lithium battery vision-based insertion and removal machine.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a lithium battery visual insertion and removal nail machine, comprising a robotic arm, a cylinder fixedly connected to the upper surface of the robotic arm, an electric nail claw fixedly connected to the piston end of the cylinder, L-shaped fixing plates fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the robotic arm, a rotating assembly provided on both L-shaped fixing plates, a fixing frame provided on one side of the robotic arm, a fixing structure provided on the fixing frame, a sliding groove provided on one side of the fixing frame, a waste frame movably connected in the sliding groove, two slots provided on the upper surface of the waste frame, and a camera fixedly connected to the bottom of the robotic arm.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0007] The rotating assembly includes two rotating columns rotatably connected to opposite sides of two L-shaped fixed plates. Each rotating column has a movable rod fixedly connected to one side, and one end of each movable rod is rotatably connected to one side of the fixed frame.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] A servo motor is fixedly connected to one side of one of the L-shaped fixing plates, and the output shaft of the servo motor is fixedly connected to one side of one of the rotating columns.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The fixing structure includes two connecting frames fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixing frame. A sliding rod is slidably connected through the upper surface of each connecting frame. A pin is fixedly connected to the bottom of each sliding rod. A pull plate is fixedly connected to the upper surfaces of the two sliding rods.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] One end of each pin is slidably connected to the upper surface of the fixed frame, and each pin is adapted to a corresponding slot.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] Each of the sliding rods is movably connected to a spring. One end of each spring is fixedly connected to the inner top of the corresponding connecting frame, and the other end is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the corresponding pin.

[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. Compared with existing technologies, this vision-based nail insertion and removal machine for lithium batteries, by setting up a rotating column, a moving rod, a servo motor, a fixed frame, and a waste box, etc., the servo motor drives the rotating column to rotate, the rotating column drives the fixed frame to move through the moving rod, and the fixed frame drives the waste box to move below the electric nail claw. Then the electric nail claw releases the nail, causing the nail to fall into the waste box. Then the servo motor again drives the moving rod through the rotating column, and the moving rod drives the waste box to move to one side of the robotic arm through the fixed frame. Then the robotic arm can directly drive the electric nail claw to grab the new nail and install it on the lithium battery, avoiding the need to waste time moving the robotic arm to put the nail into the waste box when removing the nail, which affects work efficiency.

[0018] 2. Compared with existing technologies, this vision-based nail insertion and removal machine for lithium batteries uses a connecting frame, sliding rods, pins, springs, and pull plates. When the waste box is full of nails, the operator pulls the pull plate, which moves two sliding rods. The sliding rods then disengage the corresponding pins from the slots, allowing the waste box to be removed quickly and easily. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a lithium battery visual insertion and removal nail machine: including a robotic arm 1, a cylinder 2 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the robotic arm 1, an electric nail claw 3 fixedly connected to the piston end of the cylinder 2, the cylinder 2 drives the electric nail claw 3 to remove or insert nails on the lithium battery, L-shaped fixing plates 4 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the robotic arm 1, and a rotating component 5 is provided on the two L-shaped fixing plates 4, a fixing frame 6 is provided on one side of the robotic arm 1, a fixing structure 8 is provided on the fixing frame 6, a sliding groove is opened on one side of the fixing frame 6, a waste frame 7 is movably connected in the sliding groove, two slots are opened on the upper surface of the waste frame 7, and a camera 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the robotic arm 1;

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3To ensure that old glue nails fall directly into the waste bin 7, the rotating assembly 5 includes two rotating columns 501 rotatably connected to opposite sides of two L-shaped fixed plates 4. A servo motor 503 is fixedly connected to one side of one of the L-shaped fixed plates 4, and the output shaft of the servo motor 503 is fixedly connected to one side of one of the rotating columns 501. A moving rod 502 is fixedly connected to one side of each rotating column 501, and one end of each moving rod 502 is rotatably connected to one side of the fixed frame 6. The servo motor 503 drives the rotating column 501 to rotate, and the rotating column 501 moves by moving rods. The moving rod 502 drives the fixed frame 6 to move, and the fixed frame 6 drives the waste box 7 to move below the electric glue nail claw 3. Then the electric glue nail claw 3 releases the glue nail, causing the glue nail to fall into the waste box 7. Then the servo motor 503 drives the moving rod 502 again through the rotating column 501. The moving rod 502 drives the waste box 7 to move to one side of the robotic arm 1 through the fixed frame 6. Then the robotic arm 1 can directly drive the electric glue nail claw 3 to grab the new glue nail and install it on the lithium battery. This avoids the need to waste time moving the robotic arm 1 to put the glue nail into the waste box 7 when removing the glue nail, which would affect work efficiency.

[0030] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 To facilitate the rapid replacement of the waste box 7, the fixing structure 8 includes two connecting frames 801 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixing frame 6. Each connecting frame 801 has a sliding rod 802 slidably connected to its upper surface. Each sliding rod 802 has a pin 803 fixedly connected to its bottom. One end of each pin 803 is slidably connected to the upper surface of the fixing frame 6, and each pin 803 is adapted to a corresponding slot. A pull plate 805 is fixedly connected to the upper surfaces of the two sliding rods 802. A spring 804 is movably connected to each sliding rod 802. One end of each spring 804 is fixedly connected to the inner top of the corresponding connecting frame 801, and the other end is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the corresponding pin 803. When the waste box 7 is full of adhesive nails, the worker pulls the pull plate 805. The pull plate 805 moves the two sliding rods 802, causing the corresponding pins 803 to disengage from the slots, allowing the waste box 7 to be removed quickly, facilitating the rapid replacement of the waste box 7.

[0031] Working principle: When cylinder 2 drives the electric adhesive nail claw 3 to remove the adhesive nail from the lithium battery and retract, servo motor 503 drives rotating column 501 to rotate. Rotating column 501 drives fixed frame 6 to move via moving rod 502. Fixed frame 6 drives waste box 7 to move below electric adhesive nail claw 3. Then, electric adhesive nail claw 3 releases the adhesive nail, causing it to fall into waste box 7. Then, servo motor 503 again drives moving rod 502 via rotating column 501. Moving rod 502 drives waste box 7 to move below electric adhesive nail claw 3 via fixed frame 6. On one side of the robotic arm 1, the robotic arm 1 can directly drive the electric glue nail claw 3 to grab new glue nails and place them on the lithium battery. This avoids the need to waste time moving the robotic arm 1 to put the glue nails into the waste box 7 when removing the glue nails, which affects work efficiency. When the waste box 7 is full of glue nails, the worker pulls the pull plate 805. The pull plate 805 drives the two sliding rods 802 to move. The sliding rods 802 drive the corresponding pins 803 to disengage from the slots and remove the waste box 7, making it convenient for the worker to quickly replace the waste box 7.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
