[0041] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Similar elements in different embodiments are referred to by related similar element reference numerals. In the following embodiments, many details are described to facilitate a better understanding of the present application.

[0042] Furthermore, the features, operations, or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any suitable manner to form various embodiments.

[0043] The serial numbers assigned to components in this document, such as "first" and "second," are used only to distinguish the objects being described and have no sequential or technical meaning. The terms "connection" and "linkage" used in this application, unless otherwise specified, include direct connection, indirect connection, and contact connection (linkage).

[0044] To address the inconvenience of manual soldering of batteries and wires, this application provides a battery pre-soldering device. This device pre-applies solder to the battery, eliminating the need for soldering during the battery-wire soldering process and improving subsequent battery soldering efficiency.

[0045] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The battery pre-soldering device includes a battery supply mechanism 2 for supplying the battery 1 to be processed, a solder melting device 3, a solder conveying mechanism 4, and a robot arm 5. The solder melting device 3 includes a melting head 31, which is used to melt solder 6 onto the area to be welded of the battery 1. The solder conveying mechanism 4 is used to convey solder 6 to the melting head 31, and the robot arm 5 is used to grasp the battery 1 to be processed and to move the area to be welded of the battery 1 to the position of the melting head 31.

[0046] Since the solder melting device 3 of the battery pre-soldering device can melt the solder 6, the solder conveying mechanism 4 conveys the solder 6 to the melting head 31 of the solder melting device 3 so that it comes into contact with the melting head 31. After the robot arm 5 picks up the battery, it can send the battery to the melting head 31 so that the solder 6 melted by the melting head 31 is melted in the area to be welded of the battery 1 to be processed, thus completing the pre-soldering operation of the battery 1 to be processed. Since the battery pre-soldering device of this application can pre-add solder 6 to the area to be welded of the battery 1 to be processed, no more solder 6 needs to be added during the welding process between the battery with pre-added solder 6 and the wire, making manual welding of wires more convenient.

[0047] Regarding solder 6 in this application, in one embodiment, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 Solder 6 is solder wire. Specifically, in one embodiment, solder 6 is made of tin. Of course, in some other embodiments, solder 6 can also be solder sheet.

[0048] To improve processing efficiency, in one embodiment, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The battery pre-soldering device includes a control system (not shown in the figure), which is connected to the robot arm 5 to control its movement. The control system is also connected to the solder conveying mechanism 4 to control its operation. The control system enables the robot arm 5 and the solder conveying mechanism 4 to work automatically, improving efficiency.

[0049] Specifically, in one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The control system can control the robotic arm 5 to grasp the battery 1 to be processed and deliver it to the target position. At the target position, the solder melting device 3 can melt the solder 6 conveyed by the solder conveying mechanism 4 onto the area to be welded of the battery 1. It should be noted that, in this application, the area to be welded of the battery 1 refers to the area where the battery 1 will be welded to the wire in subsequent processes. By melting the solder 6 at the welding position, only the solder 6 in this area needs to be melted during the subsequent welding process with the wire.

[0050] In one embodiment, the control system is connected to the solder melting device 3 to control the opening and closing of the solder melting device 3.

[0051] Furthermore, in one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The battery pre-soldering device includes a battery inspection component 11 for detecting defects in the battery 1 to be processed before it is grasped by the robot arm 5. A battery supply mechanism 2 supplies the battery to be processed to the battery inspection component 11. Inspecting the battery 1 to be processed by the battery inspection component 11 improves the battery yield. In some other embodiments, defect detection can also be performed in the step before or after the pre-soldering 6, in which case the battery pre-soldering device does not require the battery inspection component 11.

[0052] In one embodiment, the battery detection assembly 11 is positioned below the melting head 31. This results in a shorter travel distance for the robotic arm 5, improving work efficiency. In some other embodiments, where space permits, the battery detection assembly can also be arranged horizontally offset from the melting head.

[0053] Since the fusion head needs to melt solder, in order to prevent solder from falling onto the battery or other parts to be processed, in one embodiment, the battery pre-soldering device includes a protective member 12, which is located between the fusion head 31 and the battery detection assembly 11 to prevent solder on the fusion head 31 from falling onto the battery detection assembly 11.

[0054] Specifically, in one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The protective element 12 is a horizontally extending protective plate. In some other embodiments, the protective element may also be a protective net.

[0055] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The battery detection component 11 includes an image acquisition module for acquiring battery images. The battery detection component 11 analyzes the captured images of the battery 1 to be processed to determine if the battery has defects. If the battery 1 is defect-free, it can be picked up by the robotic arm 5 and soldered; if it is defective, it is rejected. In one embodiment, the battery detection component 11 is used to detect defects in the area to be soldered. In other embodiments, the battery detection component 11 can also be used to detect the entire battery. It should be noted that the battery detection component 11 uses battery visual inspection technology, acquiring and analyzing images to determine if the battery surface has defects. This battery visual inspection technology is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0056] In one embodiment, the control system is connected to the image acquisition module to receive information from the image acquisition module. Based on the information from the image acquisition module, the control system can control the robotic arm 5 to adjust the position of the battery being gripped, thereby bringing the area of ​​the battery to be welded into contact with the fusion head 31, thus enabling the application of solder to the area to be welded.

[0057] In one embodiment, the image acquisition module includes a camera that takes pictures of the battery to obtain image information of the battery.

[0058] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The battery pre-soldering device includes a frame 7, and the solder melting device 3 includes a welding torch 32. A melting head 31 is located at the end of the welding torch 32, and the welding torch 32 is mounted on the frame 7. In one embodiment, the welding torch 32 is fixed on the frame 7 during the solder melting operation. The welding torch 32 is fixedly mounted on the frame 7, which facilitates the robot arm 5 to deliver the battery to the melting head 31, and also facilitates the solder conveying mechanism 4 to convey the solder 6.

[0059] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The battery testing component 11, welding torch 32, and protective component 12 are all mounted on the frame 7, which makes the space more compact.

[0060] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The protective component 12 is a protective plate with an L-shaped cross-section. The protective plate includes a horizontal plate and a vertical plate, wherein the vertical plate is fixed on the frame 7 and the horizontal plate is located below the melting head 31.

[0061] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2To facilitate the installation of the welding torch 32, the solder melting device 3 includes a mounting base 33. The welding torch 32 is mounted on the frame 7 via the mounting base 33. The mounting base 33 is angle-adjustable on the frame 7, which facilitates adjustment of the position and angle of the melting head 31 at the welding end. In another embodiment, the mounting base 33 is position-adjustable on the frame 7, and the position of the melting head 31 can be adjusted by changing the position of the mounting base 33. In one embodiment, both the position and angle of the mounting base 33 on the frame 7 are adjustable, which further facilitates the adjustment of the position of the melting head 31.

[0062] Specifically, in one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The mounting base 33 is rotatably mounted on the frame 7. The mounting base 33 has an elongated hole 331, and the frame 7 has mounting holes 71. The solder melting device 3 includes a fastener, which passes through the elongated hole 331 and is screwed into the mounting hole 71. The mounting base 33 is fixed to the frame 7 after the fastener is tightened, and can rotate relative to the frame 7 after the fastener is loosened. After loosening the fastener, the fastener can move relative to the elongated hole 331 along the length of the elongated hole 331 to adjust the mounting base 33. After adjustment, the fastener is tightened. The elongated hole 331 facilitates the adjustment of the mounting base 33. In some other embodiments, multiple mounting holes can be provided on the mounting base 33. By selecting different mounting holes to be opposite the mounting holes 71, the fastener passes through the opposite mounting holes 71, thereby adjusting the position or angle of the mounting base 33.

[0063] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The elongated hole 331 is an arc-shaped hole. In some other embodiments, the elongated hole 331 may also be a straight hole.

[0064] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The mounting holes 71 are two or more. When the mounting base 33 rotates relative to the frame 7, at least one position of the mounting base 33 allows the mounting holes 71 to be simultaneously aligned with the elongated holes 331. Having at least two mounting holes 71 improves the stability of the mounting base 33, making it more securely fixed. Furthermore, having two or more mounting holes 71 increases the range of motion of the mounting base 33, thereby increasing the position adjustment range of the molten head 31.

[0065] Specifically, in one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The number of mounting holes 71 is three. In some other embodiments, the number of mounting holes 71 may be only one, two, or more than four.

[0066] In some other embodiments, the position and angle adjustment of the mounting base 33 can also be achieved in any other feasible way. For example, screws can be installed on the mounting base 33 to fix it to the frame 7 by tightening the screws. When the screws are not tightened, the mounting base 33 can rotate or translate relative to the frame 7. In another embodiment, the mounting base 33 can also be fixed to the frame 7 by magnetic attraction, in which case the mounting base 33 can translate or rotate. In yet another embodiment, please refer to... Figure 3 The mounting base 33 includes an arc-shaped plate 332 with an arc-shaped hole. A fixing screw passes through the arc-shaped hole to fix the arc-shaped plate 332 to the frame 7. After loosening the fixing screw, the arc-shaped plate 332 can move relative to the frame 7 to adjust its position. To further adjust the position of the welding torch 32, the mounting base 33 also includes a base body 333, on which the welding torch 32 is fixed. The arc-shaped plate 332 has multiple base body mounting positions, allowing the base body 333 to be mounted in different positions on the arc-shaped plate, thereby adjusting the posture of the welding torch 32.

[0067] In one embodiment, the solder conveying mechanism 4 is a welding wire conveying mechanism, which includes a conveying wheel and a motor that drives the conveying wheel. The conveying wheel is used to output the welding wire. Since the welding wire is usually in coil, coiled welding wire is easier to convey continuously.

[0068] Specifically, in one embodiment, the conveying wheel includes a driving wheel and a driven wheel. The driving wheel and the driven wheel clamp the welding wire, and the motor drives the driving wheel to rotate, thereby driving the welding wire to move and realize the conveying of the welding wire.

[0069] To transport the welding wire over a longer distance, in one embodiment, the welding wire transport mechanism includes a transport conduit through which the welding wire passes to guide its movement. In some other embodiments, when the welding wire transport distance is short, a transport conduit may not be used, and structures such as guide grooves or guide rings may be used to guide the welding wire. In one embodiment, the welding wire transport mechanism may use a solder breaker from the prior art.

[0070] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 To facilitate solder positioning, the solder delivery mechanism includes a solder positioning element 410 mounted on the mounting base 33. The solder positioning element 410 is used to position the solder 6 so that the solder 6 contacts the melting head 31. In one embodiment, the solder positioning element 410 is a wire positioning tube 41 delivery conduit connected to one end of the wire positioning tube 41, and the other end of the wire positioning tube 41 faces the melting head 31.

[0071] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3The position of the solder positioning element 410 on the mounting base 33 is adjustable. Specifically, in one embodiment, the solder positioning element 410 is mounted on the mounting base 33 via a linkage mechanism 13, and the position of the solder positioning element 410 can be adjusted by changing the shape of the linkage mechanism 13. Specifically, the shape of the linkage mechanism 13 can be changed in various feasible ways, such as changing the included angle between two connected links, changing the position of the link connecting with other links, or changing the length of the link (e.g., using a telescopic link).

[0072] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The mounting base 33 includes a mounting ring 334, through which the welding torch 32 passes, and the solder positioning element 410 is mounted on the mounting ring 334. The mounting ring 334 has multiple mounting positions for mounting the solder positioning element 410, with each mounting position arranged circumferentially along the mounting ring 334. This allows the position of the solder positioning element 410 to be adjusted circumferentially within the mounting ring 334 as needed.

[0073] It should be noted that the solder positioning component 410 can be directly mounted on the mounting ring 334, or it can be mounted on the mounting ring 334 via the linkage mechanism 13 (please refer to...). Figure 3 It can also be installed on mounting ring 334 by other organizations.

[0074] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The mounting position is provided with a mounting hole 335 for mounting the solder positioning component 410. In one embodiment, please refer to... Figure 3 The solder positioning element 410 is installed in the mounting position via the linkage mechanism 13, and the mounting hole 335 is used to fix the linkage mechanism 13. In some other embodiments, the solder positioning element 410 can also be directly fixed at the mounting position.

[0075] Regarding battery supply mechanism 2, in one embodiment, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The battery supply mechanism 2 uses a loading clamp 21 to transport the battery 1 to be processed. After the battery 1 is processed, the robot arm 5 can send the battery to the unloading clamp 8, and the unloading clamp 8 is sent to the next workstation by a conveying device. In some other embodiments, the battery supply mechanism 2 and the conveying device can adopt any feasible structural form such as a conveyor belt or an AGV robot.

[0076] Regarding the robotic arm 5, in one embodiment, the robotic arm 5 includes a multi-joint robotic arm and a claw hand.

[0077] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2To facilitate battery inspection, the battery inspection assembly 11 includes an electric turntable 9, which can remove the battery 1 to be processed from the loading fixture 21 by means of a pushing mechanism, a flipping mechanism, or a mechanical gripper. The electric turntable 9 is equipped with an electric positioning fixture 10 for positioning and holding the battery 1 to be processed. During the rotation of the electric turntable 9, the battery inspection assembly 11 can perform defect inspection on the battery 1 to be processed. Qualified batteries 1 to be processed are gripped by the robotic arm 5, which then moves the area to be welded of the battery 1 to the location of the melting head 31. After the battery 1 to be processed is removed by the robotic arm 5, a new battery 1 to be processed is transferred from the loading fixture 21 to the electric turntable 9.

[0078] In one embodiment, the control system is connected to the electric turntable 9 and the electric positioning fixture 10. The actions of each mechanism in the battery pre-soldering device can be completed under the control of the control system, which can realize automated processing operations.

[0079] In one embodiment of an aerosol generation device production line, the aerosol generation device production line includes a battery pre-soldering device as described in any of the above embodiments and a conveying device for conveying the pre-soldered battery to a welding station.
