Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery manufacturing technology, and in particular to an adhesive applicator and a button battery production line. Background Technology

[0002] During the manufacturing process of button cell battery packs, an adhesive applicator is used to attach adhesive tape to the side surface of the button cell battery. The adhesive applicator typically includes a pressing mechanism and rollers. During application, a turntable moves the button cell battery to the applicator, the pressing mechanism presses down to hold the battery in place, and then the rollers move to press the adhesive tape onto the side surface of the battery.

[0003] However, the rotation of the turntable causes the button battery to move, which may result in a deviation in the position of the button battery. The position of the roller and the position of the button battery cannot be completely aligned, which makes the roller more likely to cause wrinkles when pressing the adhesive tape onto the side surface of the button battery. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, this application provides an adhesive applicator to solve the problem that the position of the button battery may be deviated due to the rotation of the turntable driving the button battery to move, and the position of the roller and the position of the button battery may not be completely aligned. This makes it more likely that the roller will cause wrinkles when pressing the adhesive paper onto the side surface of the button battery.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The following detailed embodiments are provided to help the reader gain a comprehensive understanding of the methods, apparatus, and / or systems described herein. However, various changes, modifications, and equivalents of the methods, apparatus, and / or systems described herein will be apparent after understanding the disclosure of this application. For example, the order of operations described herein is merely illustrative and is not limited to the order set forth herein; changes that will be apparent after understanding the disclosure of this application are possible, except for operations that must occur in a specific order. Furthermore, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of features known in the art may be omitted.

[0025] The features described herein may be implemented in different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the examples described herein. Rather, the examples described herein have been provided merely to illustrate some of the many feasible ways of implementing the methods, apparatus, and / or systems described herein that will be apparent upon understanding the disclosure of this application.

[0026] Throughout the specification, when an element (such as a layer, region, or substrate) is described as being "on" another element, "connected to" another element, "bonded to" another element, "on" another element, or "covering" another element, it may be directly "on" another element, "connected to" another element, "bonded to" another element, "on" another element, or "covering" another element, or there may be one or more other elements in between. In contrast, when an element is described as being "directly on" another element, "directly connected to" another element, "directly bonded to" another element, "directly on" another element, or "directly covering" another element, there may be no other elements in between.

[0027] As used herein, the term “and / or” includes any one of the relevant items listed and any combination of any two or more items.

[0028] Although terms such as “first,” “second,” and “third” may be used herein to describe individual components, assemblies, regions, layers, or parts, these components, assemblies, regions, layers, or parts are not limited by these terms. Rather, these terms are used only to distinguish one component, assembly, region, layer, or part from another. Therefore, without departing from the teachings of the examples described herein, the first component, assembly, region, layer, or part referred to as the second component, assembly, region, layer, or part may also be referred to as the second component, assembly, region, layer, or part.

[0029] For ease of description, spatial relation terms such as “above,” “upper,” “below,” and “lower” are used herein to describe the relationship between one element and another, as shown in the accompanying drawings. Such spatial relation terms are intended to include not only the orientation depicted in the drawings but also different orientations of the device during use or operation. For example, if the device in the drawings is flipped, an element described as being “above” or “upper” relative to another element will subsequently be “below” or “lower” relative to that other element. Therefore, the term “above” includes both “above” and “below” orientations depending on the spatial orientation of the device. The device may also be positioned in other ways (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relation terms used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0030] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing various examples only and is not intended to limit this disclosure. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. The terms “comprising,” “including,” and “having” enumerate the stated features, quantities, operations, components, elements, and / or combinations thereof, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, quantities, operations, components, elements, and / or combinations thereof.

[0031] Variations in the shapes shown in the accompanying drawings may occur due to manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances. Therefore, the examples described herein are not limited to the specific shapes shown in the accompanying drawings, but include changes in shape that may occur during manufacturing.

[0032] The features of the examples described herein can be combined in various ways that will be apparent upon understanding the disclosure of this application. Furthermore, although the examples described herein have a wide variety of constructions, other constructions are possible, as will be apparent upon understanding the disclosure of this application.

[0033] The following will combine Figures 1 to 5 The adhesive applicator of this application will be described below. Figures 1 to 5 In the middle, the first direction L1, the second direction L2, and the third direction L3 are perpendicular to each other.

[0034] According to one aspect of this application, an adhesive applicator is provided, such as... Figures 1 to 5As shown, the adhesive applicator includes a rolling mechanism 1, a driving component 2, and an adjusting component 3. The rolling mechanism 1 includes a roller 11. The driving component 2 is connected to the adjusting component 3 to drive the adjusting component 3 to move along a first direction L1. The adjusting component 3 is connected to the rolling mechanism 1 to drive the rolling mechanism 1 to move along a second direction L2. When applying adhesive using the adhesive applicator, the driving component 2 drives the adjusting component 3 to move along the first direction L1, thereby driving the connecting mechanism 5 and the rolling mechanism 1 to move along the first direction L1, so that the roller 11 in the rolling mechanism 1 presses the adhesive paper onto the side surface of the button battery. Before applying adhesive using the adhesive applicator, the adjusting component 3 can drive the rolling mechanism 1 to move along the second direction L2 to adjust the position of the roller 11 in the rolling mechanism 1, so that the position of the roller 11 corresponds to the position of the button battery, thereby reducing the risk of wrinkles in the adhesive paper.

[0035] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the adhesive applicator also includes a first support plate 7, a second support plate 8, and a third support plate 9. The first support plate 7 is perpendicular to the first direction L1, the second support plate 8 is perpendicular to the second direction L2, and the third support plate 9 is perpendicular to the third direction L3. The third support plate 9 is connected to the first support plate 7, and the second support plate 8 is connected to both the third support plate 9 and the first support plate 7.

[0036] Furthermore, the driving component 2 can be a cylinder. The driving component 2 includes a fixed part 21 and a telescopic part 22. The fixed part 21 is fixed on the side of the third support plate 9 facing away from the second support plate 8. The telescopic part 22 can move relative to the fixed part 21 along the first direction L1. A transition block 4 is provided at the bottom of the telescopic part 22. The adjusting part 3 is fixed on the transition block 4, so that the telescopic part 22 can drive the adjusting part 3 to move along the first direction L1, thereby driving the roller 11 in the rolling mechanism 1 to move along the first direction L1.

[0037] Optionally, the adjustment component 3 can be a servo motor.

[0038] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the adhesive applicator also includes a connecting mechanism 5, which includes a mounting component 51. The mounting component 51 includes a first mounting plate 511 and a second mounting plate 512. The first mounting plate 511 is perpendicular to the first direction L1, and the second mounting plate 512 is perpendicular to the third direction L3. The first mounting plate 511 is connected to the adapter block 4, and the first mounting plate 511 and the second mounting plate 512 are connected. The first mounting plate 511 and the second mounting plate 512 are arranged in an "L" shape.

[0039] In embodiments of this application, the connecting mechanism 5 further includes a first elastic member 52. One end of the first elastic member 52 is connected to the second mounting plate 512 of the mounting member 51, and the other end of the first elastic member 52 is connected to the rolling mechanism 1. The first elastic member 52 can extend or retract along a third direction L3. When the roller 11 presses the adhesive paper onto the side surface of the button battery, the first elastic member 52 is compressed, allowing the roller 11 to apply pressure to the adhesive paper so that the adhesive paper can be stably attached to the side of the button battery.

[0040] Furthermore, the connecting mechanism 5 also includes a first sliding member 53 and a first slide rail 54. The rolling mechanism 1 is fixed on the first sliding member 53. One end of the first elastic member 52 is connected to the first sliding member 53, and the other end of the first elastic member 52 is connected to the second mounting plate 512. The first slide rail 54 extends along a third direction L3. The first sliding member 53 is disposed on the first slide rail 54 and is movable on the first slide rail 54. When the roller 11 rotates relative to the button battery, the first sliding member 53 moves along the first slide rail 54, causing the first elastic member 52 to be compressed. The first slide rail 54 can guide the movement of the first sliding member 53, thereby guiding the movement of the roller 11 in the rolling mechanism 1.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the rolling mechanism 1 also includes a fixed block 12 and a connecting block 13. The connecting block 13 and the first sliding member 53 can be connected by bolts. The fixed block 12 is fixed to the end of the connecting block 13 facing away from the third support plate 9. The roller 11 is connected to the fixed block 12 and can rotate relative to the fixed block 12, so that the adhesive tape can be attached to the side surface of the button battery.

[0042] Preferably, the fixing block 12 includes a fixing groove that extends through the fixing block 12 along the first direction L1. The roller 11 is disposed in the fixing groove and connected to the fixing block 12 through a rotating shaft 14, so that the roller 11 can rotate relative to the fixing block 12.

[0043] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the adhesive applicator also includes a pressing mechanism 6, which is connected to the driving member 2, so that the driving member 2 can drive the pressing mechanism 6 to move along the first direction L1 to press the upper surface of the button battery when applying the adhesive tape, thereby shaping the adhesive tape.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the pressing mechanism 6 includes a connector 61, a pressing block 62, and a second elastic member 63. The connector 61 includes a first connecting plate 611 and a second connecting plate 612. The first connecting plate 611 is perpendicular to a third direction L3, and the second connecting plate 612 is perpendicular to a first direction L1. The first connecting plate 611 is connected to the telescopic portion 22 of the driving member 2, and the second connecting plate 612 is connected to the side of the first connecting plate 611 facing away from the third support plate 9. One end of the second elastic member 63 is connected to the pressing block 62, and the other end of the second elastic member 63 is connected to the second connecting plate 612. The second elastic member 63 can extend or compress along the first direction L1. After the driving member 2 moves the pressing mechanism 6 to contact the button battery, the second elastic member 63 is compressed, allowing the pressing block 62 to apply force to the button battery, thereby shaping the adhesive tape.

[0045] Furthermore, the pressing mechanism 6 also includes a second slide rail 64 and a second sliding member 65. The second slide rail 64 is fixed to the second connecting plate 612 and extends along the first direction L1. The second sliding member 65 includes a stabilizing block 651 and a slider 652 connected by bolts. The slider 652 is disposed on the second slide rail 64 and can move along the second slide rail 64. The pressing block 62 is connected to the stabilizing block 651. One end of the second elastic member 63 is connected to the second connecting plate 612, and the other end of the second elastic member 63 is connected to the stabilizing block 651. During the compression of the second elastic member 63, the second sliding member 65 moves along the second slide rail 64. The second slide rail 64 can guide the movement of the second sliding member 65, thereby guiding the movement of the pressing block 62.

[0046] Preferably, both the first elastic element 52 and the second elastic element 63 are springs.

[0047] Optionally, the adhesive applicator includes multiple rolling mechanisms 1 and multiple adjusting members 3, with each rolling mechanism 1 corresponding to one of the adjusting members 3. The rolling mechanisms 1 and their corresponding adjusting members 3 are connected by a connecting mechanism 5. A driving member 2 can move the multiple adjusting members 3 and the multiple rolling mechanisms 1 along a first direction L1, thereby simultaneously applying adhesive tape to multiple button batteries. The adjusting members 3 can adjust the position of the rolling mechanism 1 corresponding to them, ensuring that the position of the rolling mechanism 1 corresponds to the button battery. Simultaneously, the adhesive applicator also includes a number of pressing mechanisms 6 equal to the number of rolling mechanisms 1, with each pressing mechanism 6 corresponding to one of the rolling mechanisms 1.

[0048] Preferably, the adhesive applicator includes two rolling mechanisms 1, two adjusting members 3, and two pressing blocks 62. The two adjusting members 3 are respectively fixed on both sides of the adapter block 4 in the second direction L2. The two rolling mechanisms 1 are arranged at intervals along the second direction L2, and the two pressing blocks 62 are also arranged at intervals along the second direction L2. At this time, the adhesive applicator can apply adhesive tape to two button batteries.

[0049] The adhesive applicator of this application can be driven by the adjusting member 3 to move the rolling mechanism 1 along the second direction L2, so that the position of the roller 11 corresponds to the position of the button battery, thereby reducing the risk of wrinkles in the adhesive paper.

[0050] According to another aspect of this application, a button battery production line is provided, which includes a turntable and the aforementioned adhesive applicator, the adhesive applicator being disposed on one side of the turntable, the turntable being used to transport button batteries.

[0051] Optionally, a CCD camera (CCD stands for charge-coupled device camera; a CCD camera is a digital camera with a charge-coupled device image sensor) is installed upstream of the adhesive applicator. The CCD camera records the position of the adhesive strip above the button battery and sends the position information to the controller of the button battery production line. The controller can calculate the distance that the adjusting component 3 needs to move to drive the rolling mechanism 1 based on the position information. The controller is communicatively connected to the adjusting component 3, allowing the controller to control the adjusting component 3 to move to the position corresponding to the button battery on the roller 11. When the button battery moves to the underside of the pressure block 62 under the drive of the turntable, the pressure block 62 presses down on the button battery under the drive of the drive component 2. The second sliding component 65 moves along the second slide rail 64, causing the second elastic component 63 to be compressed. The pressure block 62 applies pressure to the button battery, thereby shaping the adhesive strip. At the same time, the roller 11 rotates, causing the first sliding member 53 to move along the first slide rail 54 and the first elastic member 52 to be compressed. At this time, the roller 11 can press the adhesive paper onto the side surface of the button battery.

[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
