Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of battery manufacturing technology, and in particular to a nozzle insertion device. Background Technology

[0002] In the battery production process, the formation equipment plays a crucial role. Among them, the nozzle is a key component of the formation equipment. During the battery formation process, the nozzle needs to precisely control the amount and timing of material transfer to ensure that the chemical reaction inside the battery can proceed smoothly according to the predetermined procedure, thereby ensuring that the battery's various performance indicators meet the production standards.

[0003] However, as the formation equipment continues to operate, the nozzles will inevitably be affected by factors such as electrolyte corrosion, gas scouring, and mechanical wear caused by frequent insertion and removal operations. After the formation equipment completes a certain number of production batches, the transmission accuracy of the nozzles will gradually decrease, and problems such as blockage, deformation, or poor sealing performance may occur in their internal channels. In order to maintain the efficient and stable operation of the formation equipment and ensure the quality of battery production, after the battery formation equipment has been used a certain number of times, the old nozzles in the formation equipment need to be removed, and a new nozzle needs to be inserted into the nozzle rod of the formation equipment using a nozzle insertion device.

[0004] However, in the relevant technologies, after the nozzle insertion device is placed in the corresponding position, its overall height exceeds the preset warning height of the production and transportation line. This makes it impossible for the nozzle insertion device to be automatically transported and accurately placed into the storage location with the help of automated transportation equipment such as stacker cranes. The subsequent process can only be completed by manual operation. This manual intervention method hinders the large-scale and automated process of battery production and affects the production efficiency of batteries. Utility Model Content

[0052] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0054] In addition, in addition to being used to indicate the orientation or positional relationship, the above-mentioned part of the terms can also be used to indicate other meanings, for example, the term "upper" can also be used to indicate a certain dependent relationship or connection relationship in some cases. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in the present application according to the specific situation.

[0055] In addition, the terms "mounting", "arrangement", "provided with", "connected", "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can be fixed connection, detachable connection, or integral structure; it can be mechanical connection, or electrical connection; it can be direct connection, or indirect connection through intermediate medium, or internal communication between two devices, elements or components. The specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances by those skilled in the art.

Unless otherwise stated, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more.

[0057] As mentioned in the background, the plug-in nozzle device in the related art will exceed the safety height threshold set in advance by the production transportation line after placing the nozzle in the corresponding position, thereby triggering the preset warning height of the transportation line, so that the plug-in nozzle device cannot be automatically transported by means of automatic transportation equipment such as a stacker and accurately enter the storage location, and can only rely on manual operation to complete the subsequent process. This manual intervention replacement method hinders the large-scale and automated process of battery production and affects the production efficiency of the battery.

[0058] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a plug-in nozzle device, which avoids the situation that the overall height exceeds the preset warning height of the transportation line after placing the nozzle, eliminates the triggering condition of triggering the over-height warning of the transportation line, so that the plug-in nozzle device will not be limited to automatic transportation due to over-height during transportation, ensuring that it can be automatically transported by using automatic equipment such as a stacker, so that it can smoothly enter the storage location, meet the height requirements of automated production and transportation, and thus no longer need to rely on manual operation to avoid the situation that the over-height cannot be automatically transported, thereby improving the automation degree and overall efficiency of battery production.

[0059] The technical solutions of the present application will be further described below in combination with specific embodiments and drawings.

[0060] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2The embodiment provides a plug-in nozzle device 1, which comprises a frame body 100, a lifting panel 200, a nozzle placing plate, a lifting structure 400 and a driving structure 500. The lifting panel 200 is movably arranged on the frame body 100 in the vertical direction. The nozzle placing plate 300 is arranged on the lifting panel 200, and a plurality of nozzle placing positions 310 arranged in the first horizontal direction are arranged on the nozzle placing plate 300. The lifting structure 400 is connected with the lifting panel 200. The driving structure 500 is connected with the lifting structure 400, and the driving structure 500 is used for driving the lifting structure 400 to drive the lifting panel 200 to ascend in the vertical direction, so that the nozzle placing plate 300 ascends to a first height. The first height is configured as a height at which the nozzle can be inserted into a nozzle rod of a formation device. In addition, the driving structure 500 is used for driving the lifting structure 400 to drive the lifting panel 200 to descend in the vertical direction, so that the nozzle placing plate 300 descends to a second height.

[0061] The first horizontal direction is the direction indicated by an arrow X in the figure. Figure 2 The first horizontal direction is the direction indicated by an arrow X in the figure.

[0062] In the initial state, the lifting panel 200 is located at a lower position, and the nozzle placing plate 300 is at the second height, so that when the nozzle is placed on the nozzle placing plate 300, the overall height is relatively low, thereby avoiding interference with the normal operation of the production transportation line and ensuring the safety and smoothness of the production process. When the nozzle needs to be inserted into the nozzle rod of the formation device, the driving structure 500 is started to drive the lifting structure 400 connected thereto to operate, thereby driving the lifting panel 200 to ascend in the vertical direction. At this time, the nozzle placing plate 300 mounted on the lifting panel 200 also ascends until the first height is reached, so that the nozzle placed on the nozzle placing position 310 can be accurately inserted into the nozzle rod of the formation device. After the nozzle and the nozzle rod of the formation device are connected, the driving structure 500 is started again to drive the lifting structure 400 to drive the lifting panel 200 to descend in the vertical direction, so that the nozzle placing plate 300 returns to the second height.

[0063] In this way, the situation that the overall height after placing the nozzle is too high to exceed the preset warning height of the transportation line is avoided, and the triggering condition of triggering the transportation line height warning is eliminated, so that the plug-in nozzle device 1 cannot be limited to automatic transportation due to the height during transportation, and the automatic transportation of the plug-in nozzle device 1 by the automatic equipment such as the stacker is ensured, so that the plug-in nozzle device 1 can smoothly enter the storage location and meet the height requirement of the automatic production transportation, thereby avoiding the situation that the plug-in nozzle device 1 cannot be automatically transported by relying on manual operation and handling, and the automation degree and overall efficiency of battery production are improved.

[0064] In a possible embodiment, the second height is less than the preset warning height of the production transportation line.

[0065] In a possible embodiment, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The lifting structure 400 includes two groups; the driving structure 500 can drive the two lifting structures 400 to drive the lifting panel 200 to rise or fall synchronously.

[0066] When driving the lifting panel 200 to rise or fall, the two groups of lifting structures 400 can make the lifting panel 200 bear force more evenly at each part of the horizontal plane, compared with a single group of lifting structures 400, avoiding the situation that the lifting panel 200 may be tilted or shaken due to uneven force, ensuring that the suction nozzle placement plate always maintains a stable posture during movement, so as to ensure that the suction nozzle is accurately inserted into the suction nozzle rod of the formation equipment as much as possible, and the driving structure 500 can drive the two lifting structures 400 to drive the lifting panel 200 to rise or fall synchronously, which means that the movement of the lifting panel 200 in the vertical direction is highly coordinated and consistent, whether it is raised to the first height for suction nozzle insertion operation or lowered to the second height to ensure transportation safety, it can ensure that each suction nozzle placement position 310 on the suction nozzle placement plate is at a unified height position, thereby accurately realizing the docking with the suction nozzle rod of the formation equipment, avoiding the problems of suction nozzle insertion difficulty, suction nozzle damage or affecting the normal work of the formation equipment due to inconsistent height of different parts, and ensuring the accuracy of production operation.

[0067] In a possible embodiment, referring to Figure 3 The two groups of lifting structures 400 each include a threaded rod 410, an adjusting nut 420, and a first connecting piece 430, the threaded rod 410 extends in the vertical direction; the adjusting nut 420 is threadedly connected with the threaded rod 410; the first connecting piece 430 is used to connect the adjusting nut 420 and the lifting panel 200; the driving structure 500 is connected with the threaded rod 410, when the driving structure 500 drives the threaded rod 410 to rotate, the adjusting nut 420 can drive the first connecting piece 430 to rise or fall in the vertical direction, so as to drive the lifting panel 200 to rise or fall in the vertical direction.

[0068] When it is necessary to raise the mouthpiece placing piece 300 to the first height for inserting the mouthpiece into the mouthpiece rod of the forming equipment, the driving structure 500 starts to work and drives the threaded rod 410 to rotate. Since the adjusting nut 420 is in threaded cooperation with the threaded rod 410, when the threaded rod 410 rotates, according to the threaded transmission principle, the adjusting nut 420 will move upward along the axial direction (that is, the vertical direction) of the threaded rod 410. While the adjusting nut 420 moves upward, the first connecting piece 430 connected thereto drives the lifting panel 200 to rise along the vertical direction. Since the two sets of lifting structures 400 are arranged and act in this way, they cooperate to ensure that the lifting panel 200 can stably rise, so that the mouthpiece placing piece 300 installed on the lifting panel 200 also rises to the set first height position, and the preparation work for inserting the mouthpiece is completed.

[0069] When the mouthpiece insertion operation is completed, the driving structure 500 drives the threaded rod 410 to rotate reversely. At this time, according to the threaded transmission principle, the adjusting nut 420 will move downward along the vertical direction. The adjusting nut 420 drives the first connecting piece 430 and the lifting panel 200 connected thereto to descend along the vertical direction. The two sets of lifting structures 400 still keep synchronous operation, so that the mouthpiece placing piece 300 descends to the second height, ensuring that it is in a safe position lower than the preset warning height of the production conveying line, avoiding affecting the normal operation of the production conveying line.

[0070] In this way, the driving structure 500 controls the rotation angle, number of turns and other parameters of the threaded rod 410, which can accurately correspond to the moving distance of the adjusting nut 420 in the vertical direction, and further accurately control the rising and descending height of the lifting panel 200, so that the mouthpiece placing piece 300 can accurately reach the first height for the mouthpiece insertion operation and accurately fall back to the second height to ensure the transportation safety. This effectively avoids the problems of poor mouthpiece insertion or triggering the conveying line height warning due to height deviation, and the threaded transmission itself has certain self-locking characteristics. When there is no external force to drive the threaded rod 410 to rotate, the adjusting nut 420 can be kept in the current position under the constraint of the thread, and will not easily move by itself due to external force (such as equipment vibration, slight collision, etc.). This ensures that the lifting panel 200 can stably maintain the specified position after rising or descending, so that the whole mouthpiece inserting device 1 is more reliable during the working process, which is helpful to improve the continuity and stability of the production operation.

[0071] Of course, the lifting structure 400 is not limited to the above form, for example, the lifting structure 400 can also include a hydraulic cylinder, a piston, a piston rod and a hydraulic oil source, when the hydraulic oil enters the upper chamber of the hydraulic cylinder through a specific oil path, the pressure of the hydraulic oil acts on the piston, pushing the piston to move downward, thereby driving the lifting panel 200 to descend; conversely, when the hydraulic oil enters the lower chamber, the piston moves upward, and the lifting panel 200 rises.

[0072] In one possible embodiment, referring to Figure 3 , the driving structure 500 includes a driving member 510, a first gear 520 and a second gear 530: the first gear 520 is connected with the driving member 510; the second gear 530 has two, both of which are meshed with the first gear 520 and arranged along the first horizontal direction, and both of which are connected with the two threaded rods 410 respectively, so that when the driving member 510 drives the first gear 520 to rotate, the first gear 520 can simultaneously drive the two second gears 530 to rotate, so as to simultaneously drive the two threaded rods 410 to rotate.

[0073] Among them, the driving member 510 can be any form of driving member 510 such as a motor, a rotary cylinder, a hydraulic motor, etc., which is not limited here.

[0074] When it is necessary to drive the lifting panel 200 to rise or descend, the driving member 510 starts to operate, and the driving member 510 drives the first gear 520 connected therewith to rotate. Since there is a power transmission relationship between the first gear 520 and the driving member 510, the first gear 520 will rotate according to the power direction and speed output by the driving member 510. The rotation of the first gear 520 drives the two second gears 530 meshed therewith to rotate synchronously. The two second gears 530 are arranged along the first horizontal direction and are in meshing state with the first gear 520. According to the principle of gear transmission, the rotary motion of the first gear 520 can be uniformly transmitted to the two second gears 530, so that they rotate at the same direction and speed at the same time. Since the two second gears 530 are connected with the two threaded rods 410 respectively, when the second gears 530 rotate, the rotary motion is transmitted to the corresponding threaded rods 410 through the connection relationship, so that the two threaded rods 410 start to rotate at the same time. The rotation of the threaded rods 410 promotes the adjusting nuts 420 threaded with them to rise or descend along the vertical direction, and then drives the lifting panel 200 to rise or descend synchronously through the first connecting member 430, so as to finally realize the corresponding functions such as rising the suction nozzle placing plate to the first height for suction nozzle insertion operation or descending to the second height to ensure transportation safety.

[0075] The first gear 520 is engaged with two second gears 530 arranged along the first horizontal direction, which ensures that the two second gears 530 rotate simultaneously, in the same direction and at the same speed, and further ensures that the two threaded rods 410 connected to the second gears 530 also rotate synchronously, thereby ensuring that the height of each part of the lifting panel 200 changes completely uniformly during the lifting or lowering process, avoiding the situation that the lifting panel 200 is inclined and the different suction nozzles on the suction nozzle placement plate are not at the same height due to asynchronization, thereby providing a reliable basis for the accurate and stable insertion of the suction nozzles into the suction nozzle rod of the formation equipment and the stable operation of the entire device.

[0076] The two second gears 530 and the two threaded rods 410 can be connected through a spline structure.

[0077] Of course, the driving structure 500 is not limited to the above form, for example, the driving structure 500 can also include a synchronous belt, a synchronous pulley and a driving motor, the shaft of the driving motor is connected to one synchronous pulley, the synchronous belt is sleeved on the driving synchronous pulley and another (or multiple) driven synchronous pulley connected to the threaded rod 410, when the driving motor rotates, the driving synchronous pulley drives the synchronous belt to move, and the synchronous belt drives the driven synchronous pulley to rotate, thereby driving the threaded rod 410 connected to the driven synchronous pulley to rotate.

[0078] In a possible embodiment, referring to Figure 3 The lifting structure 400 further includes a first connecting member 430, the first part 4301 is located below the lifting panel 200, the threaded rod 410 penetrates the first part 4301 in the vertical direction, the adjusting nut 420 is fixedly connected to the first part 4301, and the two second parts 4302 are respectively connected to the two ends of the first part 4301 in the extension direction, and the end of the second part 4302 away from the first part 4301 is connected to the lifting panel 200.

[0079] When the driving structure 500 drives the threaded rod 410 to rotate, the adjusting nut 420 moves upward along the vertical direction due to the threaded connection between the adjusting nut 420 and the threaded rod 410, and the adjusting nut 420 is fixedly connected to the first part 4301 of the first connecting member 430, so that the adjusting nut 420 moves upward synchronously with the first part 4301, and the two second parts 4302 connected to the two ends of the first part 4301 also move upward during the upward movement of the first part 4301, and the end of the second part 4302 away from the first part 4301 is connected to the lifting panel 200, thereby transmitting the upward force to the lifting panel 200 through the second part 4302, so that the lifting panel 200 rises stably along the vertical direction, and finally the suction nozzle placement plate mounted on the lifting panel 200 rises to the corresponding first height, thereby meeting the operation requirement of inserting the suction nozzles into the suction nozzle rod of the formation equipment.

[0080] When it is necessary to lower the suction nozzle placement plate, the driving structure 500 drives the threaded rod 410 to rotate reversely, the adjusting nut 420 moves downward along the vertical direction, and the first part 4301 fixedly connected to the adjusting nut 420 also moves downward, and the two second parts 4302 at both ends of the first part 4301 also move downward together and transmit the downward force to the lifting panel 200, so as to promote the lifting panel 200 to stably descend along the vertical direction until the suction nozzle placement plate is lowered to the second height and is ensured to be in a safe position without affecting the normal operation of the production conveying line.

[0081] The first connecting piece 430 is composed of the first part 4301 in the middle and the two second parts 4302 at both ends, and can uniformly disperse and transmit the lifting force of the adjusting nut 420 to the lifting panel 200. When the adjusting nut 420 is lifted and lowered due to the rotation of the threaded rod 410, the force first acts on the first part 4301 and then is conducted to the lifting panel 200 from different positions through the two second parts 4302, so as to avoid the situation that the lifting panel 200 is unevenly stressed due to single-point stress, and to enable the lifting panel 200 to maintain a stable state during the lifting and lowering process, which is helpful to improve the stability of the operation of the whole device and to ensure that the suction nozzle insertion and other operations can be accurately performed.

[0082] In a possible embodiment, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the lifting panel 200 is provided with an avoiding through hole; the frame body 100 includes a mounting bottom plate 110, a plurality of guide rods 120, a mounting top plate 130, a linear bearing 140 and a second connecting piece 150; the plurality of guide rods 120 are fixedly arranged on the mounting bottom plate 110 and extend along the vertical direction; the mounting top plate 130 is fixed to the top ends of the plurality of guide rods 120 and corresponds to the avoiding through hole along the vertical direction; the linear bearing 140 is sleeved on the guide rod 120; the second connecting piece 150 is connected to the bearing seat of the linear bearing 140 at one end and to the lifting panel 200 at the other end along the vertical direction.

[0083] When the driving structure 500 starts, the driving lifting structure 400 drives the lifting panel 200 to rise, and the second connecting piece 150 connected with the bearing seat of the linear bearing 140 moves upward with the lifting panel 200. Since the linear bearing 140 is sleeved on the guide rod 120 extending in the vertical direction, the linear bearing 140 slides upward along the guide rod 120 in the process of the lifting panel 200 rising, which plays a guiding role and ensures the lifting panel 200 to stably rise in the vertical direction defined by the guide rod 120. The plurality of guide rods 120 provide stable and uniform support and guidance for the lifting panel 200, so that the lifting panel 200 can accurately rise to the corresponding first height. At this time, the avoiding through hole also rises with the lifting panel 200 until the preparation work of inserting the suction nozzle into the suction nozzle rod of the formation equipment is completed. The whole rising process is orderly carried out under the cooperation of the guide rod 120 and the linear bearing 140.

[0084] After the related process such as the suction nozzle insertion operation is completed, the driving structure 500 drives the lifting structure 400 to drive the lifting panel 200 to descend. Similarly, the second connecting piece 150 drives the linear bearing 140 to slide downward along the guide rod 120. The sliding of the linear bearing 140 on the guide rod 120 still ensures the lifting panel 200 to stably descend in the vertical direction. The plurality of guide rods 120 continuously play the role of uniform support and guidance, so that the lifting panel 200 can smoothly descend to the second height. The avoiding through hole also descends to the corresponding position, so that the whole device is in a state of not affecting the normal operation of the production transportation line, waiting for the next operation cycle.

[0085] The guide rod 120 extends in the vertical direction and cooperates with the linear bearing 140 sleeved thereon to provide precise guidance for the lifting action of the lifting panel 200. In the lifting process, whether rising or descending, the adjusting nut 420 synchronous screw rod rotation drives the lifting panel 200 to rotate, so that the lifting panel 200 can strictly move in the vertical direction, avoiding inclination, deviation and other situations, thereby ensuring the position accuracy of the suction nozzle on the suction nozzle placing plate, so that the suction nozzle can be accurately and correctly inserted into the suction nozzle rod of the formation equipment, improving the accuracy and stability of the production operation.

[0086] In addition, the guide rod 120 is fixed on the mounting bottom plate 110 and extends to the mounting top plate 130. This relatively simple and regular layout facilitates accurate positioning and assembly by workers. The sleeving of the linear bearing 140 on the guide rod 120 and the connection operation of the second connecting piece 150 are also relatively intuitive and clear, which reduces the difficulty and error probability of installation.

[0087] In a possible embodiment, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 4The detection structure 600 is arranged on the suction nozzle placing piece 300, and is used to detect whether the suction nozzles are left on the suction nozzle placing piece 300 when the suction nozzle placing piece 300 is lowered to a preset detection height along the vertical direction by the lifting panel 200.

[0088] When the suction nozzles are inserted into the suction nozzle rods of the formation equipment, the driving structure 500 drives the lifting structure 400 to lower the lifting panel 200 along the vertical direction, and in this process, the suction nozzle placing piece 300 is lowered synchronously. When the suction nozzle placing piece 300 is lowered to the preset detection height (which is lower than the first height along the vertical direction, that is, lower than the height during the insertion operation), the detection structure 600 (for example, photoelectric detection, magnetic induction detection, etc.) arranged on the suction nozzle placing piece 300 scans or senses each suction nozzle placing position 310 on the suction nozzle placing piece 300, so as to determine whether the suction nozzles are left on the suction nozzle placing position 310.

[0089] The preset detection height can be any position between the first height and the second height, and can be set according to actual production requirements.

[0090] In a possible embodiment, the suction nozzle insertion device 1 further comprises a control member electrically connected with the detection structure 600, and the control member is connected with the driving structure 500. When the detection structure 600 detects that the suction nozzles are left on the suction nozzle placing piece 300, the control member is used to control the driving structure 500 to drive the lifting panel 200 to rise to the first height according to the signal detected by the detection structure 600.

[0091] When the suction nozzle placing piece 300 is lowered to the preset detection height along with the lifting panel 200, the detection structure 600 detects the suction nozzle placing position 310. Once it is detected that the suction nozzles are left, the detection structure 600 immediately generates a corresponding detection signal (for example, an electrical signal), and transmits the signal to the control member electrically connected therewith. After receiving the signal transmitted by the detection structure 600, the control member judges and processes according to the pre-set program logic, generates an instruction for controlling the driving of the driving structure 500, and transmits the instruction to the driving structure 500. After receiving the instruction transmitted by the control member, the driving structure 500 starts to operate, drives the lifting structure 400 to lift the lifting panel 200 along the vertical direction, so that the lifting panel 200 continuously rises until the first height (that is, the height position at which the suction nozzles can be inserted into the suction nozzle rods of the formation equipment), and the process is repeated until the detection structure 600 does not detect the left suction nozzles at the preset detection position, so as to ensure that the suction nozzles are all inserted into the suction nozzle rods.

[0092] Therefore, the whole process of inserting the suction nozzle does not require manual intervention, from detecting the residual suction nozzle to controlling the lifting panel 200 to rise to the appropriate position, which is completely dependent on the automatic signal transmission and action execution between the detection structure 600, the control member and the driving structure 500, thereby improving the automation degree of the suction nozzle inserting device 1, making the production process more intelligent and efficient, reducing the dependence on manual operation, and reducing the errors and uncertainties that may be introduced by human factors, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of production.

[0093] In one possible embodiment, referring to Figure 4 The detection structure 600 includes a light emitting member 610 and a light receiving member 620, which are respectively arranged at the two ends of the plurality of suction nozzle placement positions 310 along the first horizontal direction, and the heights of the light emitting member 610 and the light receiving member 620 are consistent. The plurality of suction nozzles are arranged on the light path of the light emitted by the light emitting member 610.

[0094] Before the suction nozzle inserting device 1 normally works, the light emitting member 610 and the light receiving member 620 have been respectively installed at the two ends of the plurality of suction nozzle placement positions 310 along the first horizontal direction, and the heights of the light emitting member 610 and the light receiving member 620 are consistent. The positions of the light emitting member 610 and the light receiving member 620 are such that the light emitted by the light emitting member 610 can cover the light path range of the plurality of suction nozzle placement positions 310, that is, the light will pass through the space position where the suction nozzle is normally placed, and the detection is ready. When the suction nozzle placement member 300 descends to the preset detection height along the vertical direction with the lifting panel 200, the detection structure 600 starts to work, the light emitting member 610 continuously emits light, and the light propagates along the set light path towards the light receiving member 620. If there is no residual suction nozzle on the suction nozzle placement position 310 at this time, the light can smoothly propagate from the light emitting member 610 to the light receiving member 620, and the light receiving member 620 can normally receive the light signal. If there is a residual suction nozzle on the suction nozzle placement position 310, the residual suction nozzle will block the light due to the suction nozzle being on the light path, so that the light cannot completely propagate from the light emitting member 610 to the light receiving member 620, and the light intensity received by the light receiving member 620 will change (the light intensity is weakened or the light cannot be received). The light receiving member 620 judges that the light propagation is blocked according to the actual light received, and then determines that there is an abnormal situation of residual suction nozzle, and then transmits the detection result in the form of corresponding electrical signal to the control member electrically connected thereto. Subsequently, the control member will trigger the driving structure 500 to drive the lifting panel 200 to rise to the first height and other corresponding operations to process the residual suction nozzle.

[0095] Compared with some complex detection techniques or equipment, the simple structure using light emission and reception has certain advantages in cost, and the components are relatively simple and low in price, which meets the detection requirements without bringing too high cost increase to the plug-in nozzle device 1, and embodies good cost effectiveness.

[0096] In a possible embodiment, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the nozzle placing piece 300 has two, and the two nozzle placing pieces 300 are arranged along the second horizontal direction and are slidingly arranged on the bearing surface of the lifting panel 200 along the second horizontal direction.

[0097] Among them, the second horizontal direction is Figure 2 the direction indicated by the arrow Y.

[0098] When the plug-in nozzle device 1 is assembled, the two nozzle placing pieces 300 are slidingly installed on the bearing surface of the lifting panel 200 along the second horizontal direction. According to the production requirements and the overall layout of the equipment, the appropriate initial interval position of them on the bearing surface is determined, so that they can be stably placed on the bearing surface and be prepared for subsequent nozzle placement. The operator can place the nozzles into the plurality of nozzle placing positions 310 respectively arranged on the two nozzle placing pieces 300. Since the nozzle placing piece 300 is slidingly arranged, when placing the nozzle, the position of the nozzle placing piece 300 can be appropriately adjusted according to the convenience of actual operation, so that the nozzle can be accurately and orderly placed into the corresponding placing position, and the nozzle is stably placed, which lays a foundation for subsequent operations such as inserting the nozzle rod of the formation equipment.

[0099] When facing different production scenes or different specifications of the nozzle rod of the formation equipment, the two nozzle placing pieces 300 can slide along the second horizontal direction on the bearing surface of the lifting panel 200, so as to flexibly change the relative position between them and the overall position layout on the bearing surface. For example, if it is required to simultaneously insert two groups of nozzle rods of the formation equipment with different intervals into the nozzles, the two nozzle placing pieces 300 can be slidingly adjusted, so that the nozzles thereon can accurately correspond to the nozzle rods with different intervals, and better adapt to diversified production requirements. By slidingly adjusting the positions of the two nozzle placing pieces 300, a plurality of different formation equipments and diversified production processes can be better matched, and the versatility and adaptability of the plug-in nozzle device 1 are improved.

[0100] In a possible embodiment, referring to Figure 4 , the lifting panel 200 is provided with a guide sliding rail 210 extending along the second horizontal direction, and the nozzle placing piece 300 is provided with a sliding groove matched with the guide sliding rail 210.

[0101] The guide sliding rail 210 extends along the second horizontal direction, and the sliding groove on the suction nozzle placing piece 300 matches with the guide sliding rail 210, which provides accurate guidance for the sliding of the suction nozzle placing piece 300, avoids the suction nozzle placing piece 300 from randomly deviating or rotating in the plane, ensures the accuracy of the position adjustment of the suction nozzle placing piece 300, and makes the suction nozzle placing piece 300 better match the production elements such as the formed equipment suction nozzle rod, thereby improving the operation accuracy and production efficiency of the suction nozzle inserting device 1.
