Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of battery manufacturing technology, specifically relating to a CCS production system. Background Technology
[0002] The battery module includes a CCS (Cells Collection System) used to collect data such as battery voltage and temperature. CCS production involves multiple processes. Typically, laser welding equipment is used for welding first, followed by electrical performance testing using a comprehensive testing machine, then visual inspection using an AVI (Analog Devices) visual inspection machine, and finally, a pin inspection machine is used to detect pin misalignment of the connectors.
[0003] In the existing technology, laser welding equipment, integrated testing machine, AVI appearance inspection machine and PIN needle inspection machine are connected in series through an assembly line. Products are sent to the above four types of equipment in sequence by conveyor belt, which has a long turnover distance and occupies a large space. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, it is necessary to provide a CCS production system that can improve production efficiency and reduce the footprint.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A CCS production system includes a fixed frame and a laser welding device and a comprehensive testing machine arranged side by side, as well as an AVI appearance inspection machine and a PIN pin inspection machine. The fixed frame includes a table, which includes a first platform and a second platform, and also includes a conveying device for transferring CCS from the first platform to the second platform. The laser welding device is mounted on the first platform, and the comprehensive testing machine is mounted on the second platform. The comprehensive testing machine includes a machine support mounted above the second platform. The AVI appearance inspection machine includes an AVI inspection line scan lens, and the PIN pin inspection machine includes a fixed camera. The AVI inspection line scan lens and the fixed camera are connected to the machine support.
[0007] The CCS production system provided by this utility model uses a fixed frame to arrange the laser welding equipment and the integrated testing machine side by side. After the CCS is welded on the laser welding equipment located on the first platform, it is sent to the second platform via a conveyor. After the integrated testing machine completes the test, no further conveying is required. The AVI inspection line scan lens and fixed camera connected to the machine support are activated. After the AVI appearance inspection machine and PIN pin inspection machine complete their work and confirm that the CCS product is qualified, production ends. The floor area of the CCS production system described in this application is the same as the floor area of the fixed frame, which is approximately the area where the laser welding equipment and the integrated testing machine are placed side by side. Compared with the existing assembly line-style sequential conveying, the floor area is reduced by several times. More CCS production equipment can be accommodated in the original factory space. The conveying distance is also shortened to the displacement distance between the first platform and the second platform. The conveying distance and conveying cycle are shortened by more than ten times, and the cost and failure rate of the conveying device are reduced. The CCS production system described in this application greatly reduces the overall cost of CCS production.
[0008] Preferably, the AVI detection line scanner is connected to the middle of the machine tool support. This structure provides a better scanning angle and higher detection accuracy for the AVI detection line scanner.
[0009] Preferably, the fixed camera is connected to the rear of the machine support. In this structure, the distance between the PIN needle detector and the PIN needle is short, resulting in high detection accuracy. The integrated testing machine, AVI line scan lens, and fixed camera are staggered, preventing interference and allowing them to operate simultaneously.
[0010] Preferably, the mounting bracket further includes an upper support connected to the tabletop, the upper support spanning above the tabletop and including several uprights connected to the tabletop. The upper support spanning above the tabletop can be used to support the pipelines used by the equipment. This structure facilitates wiring layout and utilizes overhead space without increasing the floor space.
[0011] Preferably, the platform is rectangular in shape, and the plurality of columns include four columns connected to the four corners of the platform. This structure connects the entire CCS production system into a unified whole, and the overall structure is relatively regular, facilitating its arrangement within the factory. Because it includes the four columns connected to the four corners of the platform, the upper support can be considered as the outer frame of the CCS production system, and also serves to strengthen the structure of the fixed frame and protect the equipment within it.
[0012] Preferably, the CCS production system further includes a display connected to the column. This configuration, with the display connected to the column, facilitates human-machine interaction and saves floor space.
[0013] Preferably, the height h of the first platform and the second platform is the same, and h satisfies 60cm≤h≤80cm. The height of the first platform and the second platform in this structure facilitates production operations for workers with less effort, and the parallel arrangement of the first platform and the second platform facilitates the installation of a conveying device, allowing for linear transport.
[0014] Preferably, the mounting frame also includes a storage space located below the platform. The space beneath both the first and second platforms can be used for storage, making full use of vertical space.
[0015] Preferably, the laser welding machine includes dual laser heads and a pressure block, and uses a flying-shooting positioning technology for automatic positioning welding.
[0016] Preferably, the comprehensive testing machine covers insulation withstand voltage testing, functional continuity testing, and NTC testing. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The CCS production system provided by this utility model uses a fixed frame 1 to arrange the laser welding equipment 2 and the integrated testing machine 3 side by side. After the CCS 7 is welded on the laser welding equipment 2 located on the first platform 101, it is sent to the second platform 102 via the conveyor device 11. After the integrated testing machine 3 completes the test, no further conveying is required.

After the AVI appearance inspection machine and the PIN needle inspection machine complete their work and confirm that the CCS product is qualified, the production ends. The floor area of the CCS production system described in this application is the same as the floor area of the fixed frame 1, which is approximately the area where the laser welding equipment 2 and the integrated testing machine 3 are placed side by side. Compared with the existing assembly line type of sequential conveying, the floor area is reduced by several times. More CCS production equipment can be accommodated in the original factory space. The conveying distance is also shortened to the displacement distance from the first platform 101 to the second platform 102. The conveying distance and conveying cycle are shortened by more than ten times. The cost and failure rate of the conveyor device 11 are reduced. The CCS production equipment described in this application greatly reduces the overall cost of CCS production. In the preferred embodiment, the first platform 101 and the second platform 102 are at the same height, and the platform 10 is a single flat surface. In other embodiments, there may also be a height difference between the first platform 101 and the second platform 102, as long as the CCS7 can be transported from the first platform 101 to the second platform 102 by the conveying device 11.
