[0018] intention.
[0019] As attached Figure 1 As shown, an automatic battery cell sorting and replacement machine includes a battery cell horizontal conveyor 1, a battery cell barcode scanner 2, a battery cell electrical testing mechanism 3, a battery cell handling mechanism 4, a waste battery cell loading box 5, and a backup battery cell loading box 6. The battery cell horizontal conveyor 1 is sequentially equipped with the battery cell barcode scanner 2, the battery cell electrical testing mechanism 3, and the battery cell handling mechanism 4. The waste battery cell loading box 5 and the backup battery cell loading box 6 are provided on one side of the battery cell handling mechanism 4. The battery cell horizontal conveyor 1, the battery cell barcode scanner 2, the battery cell electrical testing mechanism 3, and the battery cell handling mechanism 4 are all electrically connected to a PLC.
[0020] The battery cell horizontal conveyor 1 includes a belt conveyor 11 and a battery cell carrier 12, with the battery cell carrier 12 connected to the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor 11.
[0021] As attached Figure 2 As shown, the cell electrical testing mechanism 3 includes a probe 31, a probe horizontal drive cylinder 32, and an electrical testing machine. The probe 31 is connected to the piston rod of the probe horizontal drive cylinder 32, and the probe 31 is electrically connected to the electrical testing machine.
[0022] The cell handling mechanism 4 includes an X-axis horizontal linear module 41, a Y-axis horizontal linear module 42, a lifting linear module 43, and a suction cup 44. The Y-axis horizontal linear module 42 is fixed on the slide of the X-axis horizontal linear module 41, the lifting linear module 43 is fixed on the slide of the Y-axis horizontal linear module 42, and the suction cup 44 is fixed on the slide of the lifting linear module 43.
[0023] The X-axis horizontal linear module 41 can drive the suction cup 44 to move horizontally in a straight line to the left and right, the Y-axis horizontal linear module 42 can drive the suction cup 44 to move horizontally in a straight line to the front and back, and the lifting linear module 43 can drive the suction cup 44 to move vertically in a straight line.
[0024] A photoelectric sensor 7 is installed at the feed end of the belt conveyor 11.
[0025] The working principle of this application is as follows: When a battery cell is placed into the battery cell carrier 12 at the loading position of the belt conveyor 11, the photoelectric sensor 7 transmits the sensing information to the PLC. The PLC starts the belt conveyor 11, which horizontally conveys the battery cell forward. When the battery cell moves to the battery cell barcode scanner 2, the barcode scanner 2 scans the QR code on the battery cell and transmits the QR code information to the PLC for verification. Then, the battery cell is moved to the battery cell electrical testing mechanism 3. At this time, the probe horizontal drive cylinder 32 drives the probe 31 to contact the battery cell, and the electrical testing machine tests the battery cell and then transmits the result information to the PLC. If the battery cell is unqualified, the battery cell handling mechanism 4 drives the suction cup 44 to pick up the battery cell and moves it to the waste battery cell loading box 5. Then, a backup battery cell is taken from the backup battery cell loading box 6 and placed into the empty battery cell carrier 12 for retesting. If the battery cell is qualified, the battery cell horizontal conveyor 1 transports it forward to the processing position for processing.
