Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery production technology, specifically to a cylindrical battery helium return nailing test machine. Background Technology
[0002] For aluminum-cased cylindrical batteries produced during the experimental phase, after secondary electrolyte filling, it is typically necessary to apply a sealing nail (with three circumferentially spaced grooves on the outer wall of the sealing nail) to the center of the top of the aluminum casing to seal the filling port. Currently, this sealing is usually done manually. This manual method reduces nailing efficiency, increases labor costs, and cannot be used for batch processing, thus failing to meet usage requirements. Utility Model Content
[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a cylindrical battery helium recharge nailing test machine, which improves nailing efficiency, reduces labor costs, and enables batch nailing work, thus meeting the usage requirements.

The battery replacement fixture, the nail feeding docking mechanism, and the nail feeding mechanism are sequentially arranged from left to right at the top of the machine base. The drive mechanism is located at the top of the machine base and behind the battery replacement fixture and the nail feeding docking mechanism. The helium-return nailing mechanism and the pre-compression nail suction mechanism are sequentially arranged from left to right on the side of the drive mechanism closest to the battery replacement fixture and the nail feeding docking mechanism, and are both located above the battery replacement fixture and the nail feeding docking mechanism. The battery replacement fixture is used to hold the cylindrical battery, and the nail feeding mechanism is used to feed the sealant nails to the battery replacement fixture and the pre-compression nail suction mechanism. The nail feeding and docking mechanism includes a driving mechanism that drives the pre-pressed nail suction mechanism and the helium return nailing mechanism to move left and right. The pre-pressed nail suction mechanism is used to pick up the sealing nail from the nail feeding and docking mechanism and to pre-press the picked-up sealing nail into the electrolyte inlet of the cylindrical battery, so as to partially drive the sealing nail into the electrolyte inlet of the cylindrical battery. The helium return nailing mechanism is used to evacuate the inside of the cylindrical battery through the recessed groove of the pre-pressed sealing nail in the electrolyte inlet and the electrolyte inlet of the cylindrical battery, return helium, and after the helium return is completed, further press the pre-pressed sealing nail into the electrolyte inlet of the cylindrical battery, so as to drive all the portion of the sealing nail located outside the electrolyte inlet into the electrolyte inlet of the cylindrical battery.

[0035] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure, and technical effects of this utility model in conjunction with embodiments and accompanying drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features, and effects of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this utility model. Furthermore, all connections / linkages involved in the patent do not simply refer to direct contact between components, but rather to the ability to form a better connection structure by adding or reducing connecting accessories according to specific implementation conditions. The various technical features in this utility model can be combined interactively without contradicting each other.
[0036] Please refer to Figure 1and Figure 2 An embodiment of this utility model provides a cylindrical battery helium return nailing test machine, which includes a machine base 10, a battery changing fixture 20, a nail feeding mechanism 30, a nail feeding docking mechanism 40, a pre-compression nail suction mechanism 50, a helium return nailing mechanism 60, and a drive mechanism 70.
[0037] The battery replacement fixture 20, the nail feeding and docking mechanism 40, and the nail feeding mechanism 30 are arranged sequentially from left to right at the top of the machine base 10. The drive mechanism 70 is located at the top of the machine base 10 and behind the battery replacement fixture 20 and the nail feeding and docking mechanism 40. The helium return nailing mechanism 60 and the pre-compression nail suction mechanism 50 are arranged sequentially from left to right on the side of the drive mechanism 70 closest to the battery replacement fixture 20 and the nail feeding and docking mechanism 40, with both mechanisms located above them. The battery replacement fixture 20 is used to hold the cylindrical battery 200. The nail feeding mechanism 30 is used to feed the sealant nail 300 to the nail feeding and docking mechanism 40. Figure 8 As shown, the outer wall of the sealing nail 300 is provided with three recessed grooves 303 spaced circumferentially. The pre-pressing nail suction mechanism 50 is used to pick up the sealing nail 300 from the nail feeding docking mechanism 40 and to pre-press the picked-up sealing nail 300 into the liquid filling port 201 of the cylindrical battery 200, so as to partially drive the sealing nail 300 into the liquid filling port 201 of the cylindrical battery 200. The helium return and nailing mechanism 60 is used to evacuate and return helium to the interior of the cylindrical battery 200 through the recessed groove 303 of the pre-pressed sealing nail 300 in the liquid injection port 201 of the cylindrical battery 200, and after the helium return is completed, to further press the pre-pressed sealing nail 300 into the liquid injection port 201 of the cylindrical battery 200, so as to drive all the part of the sealing nail 300 located outside the liquid injection port 201 into the liquid injection port 201 of the cylindrical battery 200. The drive mechanism 70 is used to drive the pre-pressed nail suction mechanism 50 and the helium return and nailing mechanism 60 to move left and right. During the movement of the pre-pressed nail suction mechanism 50 and the helium return and nailing mechanism 60 driven by the drive mechanism 70, when the pre-pressed nail suction mechanism 50 is directly above the nail feeding docking mechanism 40, the helium return and nailing mechanism 60 is directly above the battery changing fixture 20.
[0038] In this embodiment, the driving mechanism 70 includes a linear module 71. A module support 12 is provided behind the battery changing fixture 20 and the nail feeding and docking mechanism 40. The module support 12 is located at the top of the machine base 10. The linear module 71 is located on the side of the module support 12 near the battery changing fixture 20 and the nail feeding and docking mechanism 40. The helium return nailing mechanism 60 and the pre-press nail suction mechanism 50 are both located on the side of the linear module 71 near the battery changing fixture 20 and the nail feeding and docking mechanism 40. The linear module 71 is used to drive the helium return nailing mechanism 60 and the pre-press nail suction mechanism 50 to move left and right.
[0039] Combination Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the battery replacement fixture 20 includes a fixture base plate 21, a T-shaped fixture mounting component 23, a placement platform 24 for placing the cylindrical battery 200, and a clamp. The top of the machine base 10 is provided with a fixture mounting plate 11 (see...). Figure 1 The fixture base plate 21 is located at the top of the fixture mounting plate 11. The fixture mounting member 23 is located at the top of the fixture base plate 21, and a V-groove 231 is provided on the side of the fixture mounting member 23 near the drive mechanism 70. The V-groove 231 is used to mate with the cylindrical battery 200. The placement platform 24 is located at the top of the fixture base plate 21 and behind the fixture mounting member 23, with part of the placement platform 24 extending into the V-groove 231. In this embodiment, the bottom end of the V-groove 231 has a groove 2311 corresponding to the placement platform 24 (see...). Figure 4 The distance between the top of the placement platform 24 and the top of the fixture mounting part 23 is less than the height of the cylindrical battery 200.
[0040] The fixture includes a pull block 251, a positioning block 252, and two pull rods 253. The pull block 251 and positioning block 252 are arranged opposite each other, and both are inclined upwards relative to the fixture mounting member 23. The fixture mounting member 23 is located between the pull block 251 and the positioning block 252. The two pull rods 253 are spaced apart horizontally, with the pull rod 253 closer to the nail feeding docking mechanism 40 positioned above the pull rod 253 farther from the nail feeding docking mechanism 40. The two pull rods 253 pass through two through holes in the fixture mounting member 23, with one end of each pull rod 253 connected to the pull block 251 and the other end connected to the positioning block 252. A V-groove 231 is located between the two pull rods 253. A linear bearing 254 is installed inside the through hole. The linear bearing 254 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the corresponding pull rod 253. A fixture elastic element 255 is provided between the linear bearing 254 and the pull block 251. The fixture elastic element 255 is arranged around the outer circumference of the corresponding pull rod 253. One end of the fixture elastic element 255 is connected to the pull block 251, and the other end is connected to the linear bearing 254. The fixture elastic element 255 is a compression spring.
[0041] In this embodiment, one end of the elastic element 255 of the fixture is provided with a first connecting block 2551, and the other end is provided with a second connecting block 2552. The first connecting block 2551 is connected to the pulling block 251, and the second connecting block 2552 is connected to the linear bearing 254 of the fixture. The first connecting block 2551 and the second connecting block 2552 are both arranged around the outer periphery of the corresponding pull rod 253.
[0042] Combination Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the nail feeding mechanism 30 includes a vibrator 31 and an ion fan 32. The vibrator 31 is located at the top of the machine base 10. The vibrator 31 is a conventional linear feeding vibrator, and its structure will not be described in detail here. The discharge end of the feeding trough 311 of the vibrator 31 faces the nail feeding docking mechanism 40. The feeding trough 311 is used to place the sealing nails 300. The width of the feeding trough 311 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the sealing nails 300. In practical applications, multiple sealing nails 300 can be sequentially placed into the feeding trough 311 from the inlet end. When placing the sealing nails 300 into the feeding trough 311, the head of the sealing nails 300 should face the discharge end of the feeding trough 311.
[0043] A fan bracket 15 is provided at the top of the machine base 10. The fan bracket 15 is located behind the vibrator 31 and the nail feeding docking mechanism 40. An ion fan 32 is installed at the top of the fan bracket 15 and faces the vibrator 31. The ion fan 32 is used to blow charged ionized air into the feeding trough 311 of the vibrator 31 to remove static electricity generated between the sealing nail 300 and the vibrator 31. Since the sealing nail 300 is made of rubber and the vibrator 31 is made of metal, static electricity will be generated between the sealing nail 300 and the vibrator 31, causing the sealing nail 300 to adhere to the feed trough 311. The ion fan 32 blows charged air into the feed trough 311 of the vibrator 31. The charged ions in the air neutralize the charged ions of opposite polarity on the sealing nail 300 and the vibrator 31, thereby removing the static electricity generated between the sealing nail 300 and the vibrator 31. This prevents the sealing nail 300 from adhering to the feed trough 311. Under the vibration of the vibrator 31, the sealing nail 300 can move in the feed trough 311 in the direction close to the discharge end of the feed trough 311.
[0044] The nail feeding and docking mechanism 40 includes a docking bracket 41, a docking platform 42, an air pipe 43, and a docking sensor 44. The docking bracket 41 is located at the top of the machine base 10, and the docking platform 42 is located at the top of the docking bracket 41. The air pipe 43 passes through a through hole in the docking platform 42 and is fixedly connected to the through hole. The first end of the air pipe 43 is located above the docking platform 42, and the second end of the air pipe 43 is located inside the discharge end of the feed trough 311 of the vibrator 31. The inner diameter of the air pipe 43 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the sealing nail 300. The docking sensor 44 is a capacitive sensor. An L-shaped sensor bracket 421 is provided at the bottom of the docking platform 42. The capacitive sensor passes through a through hole in the sensor bracket 421, and one end of the capacitive sensor is in contact with the air pipe 43. The capacitive sensor is used to detect whether there is a sealing nail 300 at the position corresponding to the capacitive sensor inside the air pipe 43. In practical applications, as the sealing nail 300 moves along the direction close to the discharge end of the feeding trough 311, under the vibration of the vibrator 31, the first sealing nail 300 in the feeding trough 311 can enter the air pipe 43 through the second end of the air pipe 43. Under the continuous vibration of the vibrator 31, the second sealing nail 300 in the feeding trough 311 can enter the air pipe 43 through the second end of the air pipe 43, and push the first sealing nail 300 to move along the direction close to the first end of the air pipe 43 in the air pipe 43. This process is repeated to allow multiple sealing nails 300 to be sequentially fed into the air pipe 43 until a capacitive sensor can detect that there is a sealing nail 300 at the position corresponding to the capacitive sensor in the air pipe 43. In this way, the sealing nail 300 is sent to the nail feeding docking mechanism 40. If the capacitive sensor does not detect the sealing nail 300, the vibrator 31 is activated to vibrate until the sealing nail 300 is detected at the position corresponding to the capacitive sensor in the trachea 43. This allows the pre-pressing nail suction mechanism 50 to extract the sealing nail 300 from the first end of the trachea 43.
[0045] Combination Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the pre-pressed nail suction mechanism 50 includes a nail suction seat 51, a nail suction connecting plate 52, a nail suction mounting plate 53, a hollow nail suction nozzle 54, and a nail suction cylinder 55. The nail suction seat 51 is located on the side of the linear module 71 of the drive mechanism 70 near the battery replacement fixture 20 and the nail feeding docking mechanism 40. The nail suction connecting plate 52 is slidably located on the side of the nail suction seat 51 away from the drive mechanism 70, and part of the nail suction connecting plate 52 protrudes from the bottom end of the nail suction seat 51. Specifically, a slider 511 is provided on the side of the nail suction seat 51 away from the drive mechanism 70, and a slide rail 512 is provided on the side of the nail suction connecting plate 52 near the nail suction seat 51. The length direction of the slide rail 512 is the same as the height direction of the nail suction connecting plate 52, and the slide rail 512 slides in cooperation with the slider 511. The nail suction mounting plate 53 is located at the bottom end of the nail suction connecting plate 52. The suction nozzle 54 is used to pick up the sealant nails 300. The inner diameter of the suction nozzle 54 is smaller than the outer diameter of the sealant nails 300. The suction nozzle 54 is located below the suction nail mounting plate 53. The tail end of the suction nozzle 54 passes through the through hole of the suction nail mounting plate 53 and is set in the mounting hole at the bottom of the suction nail connecting plate 52. A suction nail connector 521 is provided on the side of the suction nail connecting plate 52 away from the suction nail seat 51. The suction nail connecting plate 52 has a suction nail channel, which communicates with the interior of the suction nail connector 521 and the suction nozzle 54. The suction nail connector 521 is used to connect to a suction nail vacuuming device. In practical applications, the suction nail vacuuming device can achieve vacuuming of the interior of the suction nozzle 54 through the suction nail connector 521 and the suction nail channel, thereby enabling the suction nozzle 54 to pick up the sealant nails 300. The nail-suction cylinder 55 is located at the top of the nail-suction seat 51 and behind the nail-suction connecting plate 52. The end of the output shaft of the nail-suction cylinder 55 passes through the through hole of the nail-suction seat 51 and is connected to the nail-suction mounting plate 53. The nail-suction cylinder 55 is used to drive the nail-suction mounting plate 53 to move up and down, thereby driving the nail-suction connecting plate 52 and the nail-suction nozzle 54 to move up and down. When the cylindrical battery 200 is placed on the battery changing fixture 20 and the pre-pressing nail-suction mechanism 50 is located directly above the battery changing fixture 20, the nail-suction nozzle 54 corresponds to the liquid injection port 201 of the cylindrical battery 200. When the pre-pressing nail-suction mechanism 50 is located directly above the nail feeding docking mechanism 40, the nail-suction nozzle 54 corresponds to the first end of the air pipe 43.
[0046] Furthermore, the bottom end of the nail-collecting base 51 is provided with a scale plate 56. A scale 561 is provided on the side of the scale plate 56 away from the helium return nail-driving mechanism 60. A pointer 531 is provided on the side of the nail-collecting mounting plate 53 away from the helium return nail-driving mechanism 60. The pointer 531 is located above the scale 561, and part of the pointer 531 contacts the side of the scale plate 56 away from the helium return nail-driving mechanism 60. The bottom end of the scale plate 56 is provided with a nail-collecting base 57, through which a hydraulic buffer 58 is provided. The up-and-down movement of the nail-collecting mounting plate 53 can drive the pointer 531 to move up and down. The tip of the pointer 531 is used to indicate the scale 561 on the scale plate 56, and the hydraulic buffer 58 provides cushioning and support for the nail-collecting mounting plate 53.
[0047] Combination Figures 10 to 13 As shown, the helium return nailing mechanism 60 includes a first nailing cylinder 61, a nailing connecting plate 62, a second nailing cylinder 63, and a nailing assembly. The first nailing cylinder 61 is located on the side of the linear module 71 of the drive mechanism 70 near the battery replacement fixture 20 and the nail feeding docking mechanism 40. The nailing connecting plate 62 is located on the side of the first nailing cylinder 61 away from the drive mechanism 70. The first nailing cylinder 61 is used to drive the nailing connecting plate 62 to move up and down. The second nailing cylinder 63 is located on the side of the nailing connecting plate 62 away from the first nailing cylinder 61 via a cylinder seat 632. A guide block 631 is provided on the side of the nailing connecting plate 62 away from the first nailing cylinder 61. The guide block 631 is located below the cylinder seat 632, and the output shaft of the second nailing cylinder 63 passes through the through hole of the guide block 631. The guide block 631 guides the extension and retraction of the output shaft of the second nailing cylinder 63.
[0048] The nailing assembly includes a first nailing seat 641, a second nailing seat 642, a nailing pressure block 643, and a T-shaped nailing pressure rod 644.

The top of the second nailing seat 642 is provided with a clearance hole 6422 communicating with the mounting cavity 6421, and the clearance hole 6422 corresponds to the output shaft of the second nailing cylinder 63. A nailing pressure block 643 is located at the bottom end of the first nailing seat 641. The nailing pressure block 643 has a pressure block through cavity 6431 penetrating its top and bottom ends, and the pressure block through cavity 6431 communicates with the nailing seat through cavity 6411. A pressure block sealing ring 6432 is provided at the bottom end of the nailing pressure block 6433, and the interior of the pressure block sealing ring 6432 communicates with the pressure block through cavity 6431. The inner diameter of the pressure block sealing ring 6432 is larger than the inner diameter of the pressure block through cavity 6431. In practical applications, the inner diameter of the pressure block through cavity 6431 is larger than the inner diameter of the liquid injection port 201 of the cylindrical battery 200.
[0049] The top of the nailing block 643 is provided with an annular groove 6433, which surrounds and communicates with the block's through cavity 6431.

The nailing rod 644 can move up and down relative to the nailing pressure block 643, the first nailing seat 641, and the second nailing seat 642. The pressure head 6441 can move synchronously with the nailing rod 644. When the cylindrical battery 200 is placed in the battery changing fixture 20 and the helium return nailing mechanism 60 is located above the battery changing fixture 20, the pressure head 6441 corresponds to the liquid injection port 201 of the cylindrical battery 200. The up-and-down movement of the first nailing seat 641 can drive the second nailing seat 642, the nailing pressure block 643, the pressure block sealing ring 6432, and the nailing pressure rod 644 to move up and down.
[0050] In this embodiment, the bottom end of the nailing block 643 is provided with a block mounting hole, and the block sealing ring 6432 is disposed in the block mounting hole. A connecting channel 64331 is provided between the bottom of the annular groove 6433 and the block through cavity 6431, so that the annular groove 6433 is connected to the block through cavity 6431 through the connecting channel 64331. The number of connecting channels 64331 can be set according to the actual situation.
[0051] A connecting sleeve 6443 is fitted around the top of the nailing rod 644, and the top of the connecting sleeve 6443 abuts against the top of the mounting cavity 6421. A nailing elastic element 6423, which is a spring, is provided inside the mounting cavity 6421. The nailing elastic element 6423 is arranged around the outer periphery of the nailing rod 644. One end of the nailing elastic element 6423 has a first mounting block 6424, which is connected to the top of the first nailing seat 641. The other end of the nailing elastic element 6423 has a second mounting block 6425, which is connected to the bottom end of the connecting sleeve 6443.
[0052] In this embodiment, the bottom end of the nailing rod 644 is provided with an installation hole, and the pressure head 6441 is disposed in the installation hole.
[0053] The bottom and top ends of the nail-driving cavity 6411 are respectively provided with a T-shaped bottom bushing 6413 and a T-shaped top bushing 6414. The bottom bushing 6413 and the top bushing 6414 are respectively fitted around the outer periphery of the nail-driving pressure rod 644. The bottom end of the bottom bushing 6413 abuts against the top end of the nail-driving pressure block 643, and the top end of the top bushing 6414 abuts against the bottom end of the first mounting block 6424. Both the bottom bushing 6413 and the nail-end bushing 6414 are oil-free bushings. The bottom bushing 6413 and the top bushing 6414 play a sealing role during the process of vacuuming and helium returning to the inside of the cylindrical battery 200 through the helium return nailing mechanism 60. The top of the nailing block 643 is provided with a first mounting groove, which is arranged around the outer periphery of the annular groove 6433. A first sealing ring 6434 is provided inside the first mounting groove, and the first sealing ring 6434 abuts against the bottom end of the first nailing seat 641. The top of the first nailing seat 641 is provided with a second mounting groove. The mounting cavity 6421 and the nailing seat through cavity 6411 are located inside the second mounting groove. A second sealing ring 6417 is provided inside the second mounting groove, and the second sealing ring 6417 abuts against the bottom end of the second nailing seat 642. The first sealing ring 6434 and the second sealing ring 6417 play a sealing role during the process of vacuuming and helium returning inside the cylindrical battery 200 by the helium return nailing mechanism 60.
[0054] With the above structure, in practical application, the pull block 251 is first pushed backward, which moves the two pull rods 253 and the positioning block 252 backward, compressing the fixture elastic element 255. Then, the first cylindrical battery 200 is placed on the top of the placement platform 24, positioned between the two pull rods 253 and in contact with the two inner walls of the V-groove 231. At this time, the positioning block 252 is located behind the first cylindrical battery 200. Then, the pull block 251 is released. Under the reset action of the fixture elastic element 255, the pull block 251 can be moved forward, which in turn moves the two pull rods 253 and the positioning block 252 forward. In this way, the positioning block 252 can fix the first cylindrical battery 200 between the positioning block 252 and the two inner walls of the V-groove 231 to prevent the first cylindrical battery 200 from moving. Figure 5 As shown.
[0055] Then, multiple sealing nails 300 are sequentially placed into the feeding trough 311 of the vibrator 31 from the feed end. The ion fan 32 and vibrator 31 are then started. The ion fan 32 blows charged ionized air into the feeding trough 311 of the vibrator 31, preventing the sealing nails 300 from adhering to the feeding trough 311. The vibration of the vibrator 31 sequentially feeds the multiple sealing nails 300 into the air pipe 43 until the capacitive sensor can detect the sealing nails 300. Then, the drive mechanism 70 drives the pre-compression nail suction mechanism 50 and the helium return nailing mechanism 60 to move to the right until the pre-compression nail suction mechanism 50 is directly above the nail feeding docking mechanism 40, and the helium return nailing mechanism 60 is directly above the battery changing fixture 20. Then, the nail-suction cylinder 55 drives the nail-suction nozzle 54 downward until the head of the nozzle 54 aligns with the first end of the air pipe 43. Then, a vacuum is created inside the nozzle 54 via the nail-suction connector 521 and the nail-suction channel using a nail-suction vacuuming device. Since the nozzle 54 aligns with the first end of the air pipe 43, a vacuum can be created inside the air pipe 43. Under negative pressure, the first sealing nail 300 can be sucked out of the air pipe 43 through the nozzle 54. This achieves the extraction of the sealing nail 300 from the nail feeding and docking mechanism 40. Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown. Then, the nail suction cylinder 55 drives the nail suction nozzle 54, nail suction mounting plate 53, pointer 531, and the first sealing nail 300 to move upward to the initial position. Then, the drive mechanism 70 drives the pre-compression nail suction mechanism 50 and the helium return nailing mechanism 60 to move to the left until the pre-compression nail suction mechanism 50 is directly above the battery changing fixture 20. Then, the nail suction cylinder 55 drives the nail suction nozzle 54, nail suction mounting plate 53, pointer 531, and the first sealing nail 300 to move downward to pre-compress the first sealing nail 300 into the liquid injection port 201 of the first cylindrical battery 200, so as to partially drive the first sealing nail 300 into the liquid injection port 201 of the first cylindrical battery 200. Then, the vacuum suction device stops the vacuum suction of the nail suction nozzle 54 through the nail suction connector 521 and the nail suction channel. Then, the nail suction cylinder 55 drives the nail suction nozzle 54, nail suction mounting plate 53, and pointer 531 to move upward to the initial position. When the first sealing nail 300 is pre-pressed into the liquid filling port 201 of the first cylindrical battery 200, the tip of the pointer 531 can indicate the scale 561 on the scale plate 56, so that the operator can know the distance the first sealing nail 300 has moved downward, that is, the depth of the first sealing nail 300 pre-pressed into the liquid filling port 201 of the first cylindrical battery 200. At the same time, the suction nail mounting plate 53 abuts against the hydraulic buffer 58, and the hydraulic buffer 58 can provide buffer support for the suction nail mounting plate 53.
[0056] Then, the pre-compression nail suction mechanism 50 and the helium return nailing mechanism 60 are driven to move to the right by the drive mechanism 70 until the helium return nailing mechanism 60 is directly above the battery replacement fixture 20. At this time, the pre-compression nail suction mechanism 50 is directly above the nail feeding docking mechanism 40. In this way, while the helium return nailing mechanism 60 is in operation, the pre-compression nail suction mechanism 50 can pick up the second sealant nail 300 from the nail feeding docking mechanism 40 according to the aforementioned steps. The helium return nailing mechanism 60 operates as follows: First, the first nailing cylinder 61 drives the nailing block 643 and the block sealing ring 6432 to move downwards until the block sealing ring 6432 abuts against the top of the first cylindrical battery 200. At this time, the block sealing ring 6432 surrounds the outer periphery of the liquid injection port 201 of the first cylindrical battery 200, and the head 302 of the first sealing nail 300 is located inside the block sealing ring 6432. The block sealing ring 6432 plays a sealing role, so that the interior of the block sealing ring 6432 can communicate with the liquid injection port 201 of the first cylindrical battery 200 through the recessed groove 303 of the first sealing nail 300. Then, the vacuum is evacuated inside the first cylindrical battery 200 through the nailing joint 6412, nailing channel 6418, annular groove 6433, connecting channel 64331, pressure block through cavity 6431, pressure block sealing ring 6432, the recessed groove 303 of the first sealing nail 300, and the liquid injection port 201. After the vacuum level inside the first cylindrical battery 200 reaches the predetermined value, the vacuum is stopped through the nailing vacuum device through the nailing joint 6412, nailing channel 6418, annular groove 6433, connecting channel 64331, pressure block through cavity 6431, pressure block sealing ring 6432, the recessed groove 303 of the first sealing nail 300, and the liquid injection port 201. Then, helium is filled into the interior of the first cylindrical battery 200 through the helium filling device via the nailing connector 6412, nailing channel 6418, annular groove 6433, connecting channel 64331, pressing block through cavity 6431, the interior of pressing block sealing ring 6432, the recessed groove 303 of the first sealing nail 300, and the liquid injection port 201. By first evacuating the vacuum and then returning helium, the helium content inside the first cylindrical battery 200 can be guaranteed. After a predetermined time has elapsed, the helium filling device stops filling the interior of the first cylindrical battery 200 through the nailing connector 6412, nailing channel 6418, annular groove 6433, connecting channel 64331, pressing block through cavity 6431, the interior of pressing block sealing ring 6432, the recessed groove 303 of the first sealing nail 300, and the liquid injection port 201.Then, the output shaft of the second nailing cylinder 63 extends out. The end of the output shaft of the second nailing cylinder 63 passes through the clearance hole 6422 of the second nailing seat 642 and enters the connecting sleeve 6443, abutting against the top of the nailing rod 644. As the output shaft of the second nailing cylinder 63 continues to extend, it drives the nailing rod 644 downward, which in turn drives the pressure head 6441 downward. When the pressure head 6441 contacts the first sealant nail 300, as the pressure head 6441 continues to move downward, it drives the nailing rod 644 to move downward. The head 6441 can further press the first sealing nail 300 into the liquid injection port 201 of the first cylindrical battery 200, so that the part of the first sealing nail 300 located in the liquid injection port 201 is completely driven into the liquid injection port 201 of the first cylindrical battery 200. During the downward movement of the nailing rod 644, the nailing rod 644 can drive the connecting sleeve 6443 to move downward. The downward movement of the connecting sleeve 6443 can drive the second mounting block 6425 to move downward. Under the pressure of the second mounting block 6425, the nailing elastic element 6423 is compressed. Then, the output shaft of the second nailing cylinder 63 retracts to its initial position. Under the reset action of the nailing elastic element 6423, the connecting sleeve 6443 can be moved upward to its initial position via the second mounting block 6425. This, in turn, can move the nailing pressure rod 644 and the pressure head 6441 upward to their initial positions, thus achieving automatic reset of the nailing pressure rod 644 and the pressure head 6441. Then, the first nailing cylinder 61 drives the nailing pressure block 643 and the pressure block sealing ring 6432 upward to their initial positions, thus completing the nailing operation. Then, the second cylindrical battery 200 is placed in the same manner as described above, and the process is repeated in the same way. This allows for batch nailing.
[0057] This utility model, through the setup of a machine base 10, a battery changing fixture 20, a nail feeding mechanism 30, a nail feeding docking mechanism 40, a pre-press nail suction mechanism 50, a helium return nailing mechanism 60, and a drive mechanism 70, can automatically apply sealant nails 300 to the liquid injection port 201 of a cylindrical battery 200. Compared with the existing technology that uses manual methods, it greatly improves nailing efficiency, reduces labor costs, and enables batch nailing work, thus meeting the needs of users.
[0058] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, this utility model also includes an eccentric injection port calibration fixture 80. The eccentric injection port calibration fixture 80 is disposed on the side of the linear module 71 of the drive mechanism 70 near the battery changing fixture 20 and the nail feeding and docking mechanism 40, and is located between the helium return nailing mechanism 60 and the pre-press nail suction mechanism 50. The eccentric injection port calibration fixture 80 is located above the battery changing fixture 20 and the nail feeding and docking mechanism 40. The eccentric injection port calibration fixture 80 is used to check the position of the eccentric injection port when the injection port 201 of the cylindrical battery 200 is an eccentric injection port. The linear module 71 of the drive mechanism 70 is used to drive the eccentric injection port calibration fixture 80 to move left and right.
[0059] Specifically, the eccentric injection port calibration fixture 80 includes a fixture base 81 and a calibration rod 82. The fixture base 81 is located on the side of the linear module 71 of the drive mechanism 70 near the battery changing fixture 20 and the nail feeding docking mechanism 40. The calibration rod 82 passes through the through hole of the fixture base 81 and can move up and down and rotate relative to the fixture base 81. The calibration rod 82 corresponds to the nail suction nozzle 54 of the pre-pressing nail suction mechanism 50. The head 82a of the calibration rod 82 is located below the fixture base 81, and the outer diameter of the head 82a of the calibration rod 82 is adapted to the inner diameter of the injection port 201 of the cylindrical battery 200. The outer diameter of the head 82a of the calibration rod 82 is smaller than the outer diameter of the rest of the calibration rod 82. The tail end of the calibration rod 82 is located above the fixture base 81 and a limit rod 821 is vertically installed thereon. The top of the fixture base 81 is provided with a fixture vertical plate 811, which is located behind the calibration rod 82. The top of the fixture vertical plate 811 is provided with a placement groove 8111, and the limit rod 821 rests on the bottom of the placement groove 8111. The bottom of the placement groove 8111 is an arc surface, which matches the outer peripheral surface of the limit rod 821. The bottom end of the fixture base 81 is provided with a fixture linear bearing 83, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the calibration rod 82.
[0060] In practical applications, when the liquid injection port 201 of the cylindrical battery 200 is an eccentric liquid injection port 201, after the first cylindrical battery 200 is placed in the battery changing fixture 20 and before multiple sealing nails 300 are sequentially placed into the feeding trough 311 from the feed end of the vibrator 31, the first cylindrical battery 200 is rotated so that the position of the eccentric liquid injection port 201 of the first cylindrical battery 200 corresponds to the position of the nail suction nozzle 54 of the pre-pressing nail suction mechanism 50, the position of the pressure head 6441 of the helium return nailing mechanism 60, and the position of the calibration rod 82. The positions of the head 82a correspond to the positions of the eccentric injection port 201, the nail suction nozzle 54, the pressure head 6441, and the head 82a of the calibration rod 82, all located in the same vertical plane. Then, the drive mechanism 70 drives the helium return nailing mechanism 60, the eccentric injection port calibration fixture 80, and the pre-pressure nail suction mechanism 50 to move to the right until the eccentric injection port calibration fixture 80 is positioned above the battery changing fixture 20, aligning the head 82a of the calibration rod 82 with the eccentric injection port 201 of the first cylindrical battery 200. Then, the limiting rod 821 is pulled upwards, allowing the rod to be pulled upwards. Move the calibration rod 82 to separate it from the placement slot 8111. Then rotate the limiting rod 821, for example, by 90 degrees, thereby rotating the calibration rod 82 relative to the tooling linear bearing 83 by for example by 90 degrees, so that the limiting rod 821 is in front of the tooling vertical plate 811. At this time, the tooling vertical plate 811 will not obstruct the limiting rod 821. Then release the limiting rod 821, and the calibration rod 82 can move downward relative to the tooling linear bearing 83 under its own weight. The tooling linear bearing 83 can ensure the linearity of the downward movement of the calibration rod 82. If the head of the calibration rod 82... If the head 82a of the calibration rod 82 can be inserted into the eccentric injection port 201 of the first cylindrical battery 200, then the position of the first cylindrical battery 200 is correct. Then, pull the limiting rod 821 upwards and rotate it so that the limiting rod 821 is above the placement groove 8111. Then, push the limiting rod 821 downwards, thereby moving the calibration rod 82 downwards relative to the tooling linear bearing 83 until the limiting rod 821 is placed back at the bottom of the placement groove 8111. This verifies the position of the eccentric injection port 201 of the first cylindrical battery 200. If the head 82a of the calibration rod 82 cannot be inserted into the eccentric injection port 201 of the first cylindrical battery 200, repeat the above operation until the head 82a of the calibration rod 82 can be inserted into the eccentric injection port 201 of the first cylindrical battery 200. Subsequently, the pre-compression nail suction mechanism 50 is moved above the battery replacement fixture 20 by the drive mechanism 70, and the suction nozzle 54 of the pre-compression nail suction mechanism 50 is aligned with the eccentric liquid injection port 201 of the cylindrical battery 200. The helium return nailing mechanism 60 is moved above the battery replacement fixture 20 by the drive mechanism 70, and the pressure head 6441 of the helium return nailing mechanism 60 is aligned with the eccentric liquid injection port 201 of the cylindrical battery 200.The position of the eccentric injection port 201 of the cylindrical battery 200 is checked by the eccentric injection port calibration fixture 80. This ensures that when the pre-pressing nail suction mechanism 50 is directly above the cylindrical battery 200, the eccentric injection port 201 of the cylindrical battery 200 corresponds to the nail suction nozzle 54 of the pre-pressing nail suction mechanism 50. It also ensures that when the helium return nailing mechanism 60 is directly above the cylindrical battery 200, the eccentric injection port 201 of the cylindrical battery 200 corresponds to the pressure head 6441 of the helium return nailing mechanism 60. This ensures that the nailing operation can be carried out smoothly.
[0061] Furthermore, combined Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 14 to 16 As shown, this utility model also includes a cleaning mechanism 90, which can clean the inner wall of the pressure block sealing ring 6432 and the pressure head 6441 of the helium return and nailing mechanism 60 to prevent electrolyte residue from remaining on the inner wall of the pressure block sealing ring 6432 and the pressure head 6441. During the process of vacuuming the inside of the cylindrical battery 200 through the helium return and nailing mechanism 60, a small amount of electrolyte may be extracted from the inside of the cylindrical battery 200. This extracted electrolyte will remain on the inner wall of the pressure block sealing ring 6432 and the pressure head 6441, so it is necessary to clean the inner wall of the pressure block sealing ring 6432 and the pressure head 6441.
[0062] Specifically, the cleaning mechanism 90 includes a cleaning tank 91, a storage tank 92, and a residual liquid container 93. The cleaning tank 91 is located at the top of the machine base 10. In this embodiment, two L-shaped cleaning supports 911 are respectively provided at both ends of the cleaning tank 91, and the two cleaning supports 911 are located at the top of the machine base 10. The cleaning tank 91 is located to the left of the battery replacement fixture 20 and below the helium return nailing mechanism 60, the pre-pressure nail suction mechanism 50, and the eccentric injection port calibration fixture 80. The top of the cleaning tank 91 is provided with a cleaning chamber 912, the side of the cleaning tank 91 near the drive mechanism 70 is provided with a liquid inlet connector 913, and the bottom of the cleaning tank 91 is provided with a liquid outlet connector 914. Both the liquid inlet connector 913 and the liquid outlet connector 914 are connected to the cleaning chamber 912. The liquid inlet connector 913 is connected to the liquid storage tank 92 via the first pipe 921. A mounting plate 13 is located at the top of the machine base 10, behind the drive mechanism 70. The liquid storage tank 92 is located at one end of the mounting plate 13 and is used to store cleaning fluid, which is a standard cleaning fluid used for cleaning electrolytes. A fluid control two-way valve 922 (see...) is installed on the first pipe 921. Figure 1 and Figure 2The flow rate of the cleaning fluid can be controlled by a fluid control two-way valve 922. The outlet connector 914 is connected to the residual liquid tank 93 via a second pipe. A switch valve is installed on the second pipe. The top of the cleaning tank 91 has a groove 915 and a residual liquid channel 916, which extends to the bottom of the cleaning tank 91. The groove 915 is connected to the cleaning chamber 912 and the residual liquid channel 916. At the bottom of the cleaning tank 91, corresponding to the residual liquid channel 916, a residual liquid connector 917 is provided. The residual liquid connector 917 is connected to the residual liquid channel 916 and, through a third pipe, to the residual liquid tank 93. The residual liquid tank 93 is located behind the machine base 10 and is used to recover the cleaning fluid. In practical applications, the liquid level in the cleaning chamber 912 is lower than the bottom of the groove 915. When the helium return nailing mechanism 60 is directly above the cleaning tank 91, the nailing block 643, the block sealing ring 6432, and the pressure head 6441 correspond to the cleaning chamber 912.
[0063] In this embodiment, the cleaning tank 91 is provided with a first flow channel 9111, the bottom of the cleaning chamber 912 is provided with a second flow channel 9121, the first flow channel 9111 is located below the second flow channel 9121, the inner wall of the first flow channel 9111 is provided with a third flow channel 91111, the first flow channel 9111 is connected to the liquid inlet connector 913, the second flow channel 9121 and the third flow channel 91111 respectively, and the liquid outlet connector 914 is connected to the third flow channel 9122.
[0064] In practical applications, when it is necessary to clean the inner wall of the pressure block sealing ring 6432 and the pressure head 6441 of the helium return nailing mechanism 60, first open the fluid control two-way valve 922, so that a predetermined amount of cleaning fluid is introduced into the cleaning chamber 912 through the storage tank 92 via the first pipe 921, the liquid inlet connector 913, the first flow channel, and the second flow channel. Then close the fluid control two-way valve 922. Then, the drive mechanism 70 drives the helium return nailing mechanism 60 to move directly above the cleaning tank 91. Then, the first nailing cylinder 61 drives the nailing pressure block 643, the pressure block sealing ring 6432, the first nailing seat 641, the second nailing seat 642, the nailing pressure rod 644, and the second nailing cylinder 63 to move downwards until the pressure block sealing ring 6432 and the nailing pressure block 643 are partially located inside the cleaning chamber 912. Figure 1As shown, the cleaning fluid can enter the interior of the pressure block sealing ring 6432 and the pressure block through cavity 6431 at this time. The pressure head 6441 is immersed in the cleaning fluid. After standing for a period of time, the electrolyte on the inner wall of the pressure block sealing ring 6432 and the electrolyte on the pressure head 6441 can be dissolved in the cleaning fluid, thus cleaning the inner wall of the pressure block sealing ring 6432 and the pressure head 6441. Then, the first nailing cylinder 61 drives the nailing pressure block 643, the pressure block sealing ring 6432, the first nailing seat 641, the second nailing seat 642, the nailing rod 644, and the second nailing cylinder 63 to move upward to the initial position and open the switch valve. In this way, the cleaning fluid in the cleaning chamber 912 can enter the residual liquid tank 93 for recycling through the second flow channel, the first flow channel, the liquid outlet connector 914, and the second pipe. During the process of driving the nailing block 643, the block sealing ring 6432, the first nailing seat 641, the second nailing seat 642, the nailing rod 644, and the second nailing cylinder 63 downwards so that the block sealing ring 6432 and the nailing block 643 are partially located in the cleaning chamber 912, the block sealing ring 6432 and the nailing block 643 will cause the liquid level in the cleaning chamber 912 to rise. When the liquid level corresponds to the groove 915 at the top of the cleaning tank 91, the cleaning fluid will flow into the residual liquid channel 916 through the groove 915, and then enter the residual liquid tank 93 through the residual liquid connector 917 and the third pipe for recycling. The groove 915, the residual liquid channel 916, the residual liquid connector 917, the third pipe and the residual liquid tank 93 can prevent the cleaning fluid from overflowing to the outside of the cleaning tank 91, thereby preventing the cleaning fluid from dripping onto the top of the machine 10 and ensuring that the machine 10 is clean.
[0065] The storage tank 92 is equipped with a liquid level sensor 923 (see Figure 1 The liquid level sensor 923 is used to detect the liquid level in the storage tank 92 so that when the liquid level is lower than a predetermined height, the operator can promptly add cleaning fluid to the storage tank 92. The liquid level sensor 923 is preferably an ultrasonic sensor. The storage tank 92 includes a tank body and a lid that closes to the open end of the tank body. The tank body is used to hold the cleaning fluid, and the liquid level sensor 923 is mounted on the tank body. By opening the lid, cleaning fluid can be added to the tank.
[0066] Furthermore, the top of the mounting plate 13 of the machine base 10 is equipped with an indicator light 14. The indicator light 14 is used to illuminate after the nailing operation is completed to remind the operator. The indicator light 14 can also be used to remind the operator in abnormal situations such as the nail suction nozzle 54 of the pre-press nail suction mechanism 50 failing to pick up the sealant nail 300, or the vacuum degree failing to reach the predetermined value when the helium return nailing mechanism 60 evacuates the internal vacuum of the cylindrical battery 200. The indicator light 14 is, for example, a three-color indicator light.
[0067] The above is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. However, the present utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present utility model. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
