Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of circuit board assembly technology, and in particular to an automatic circuit board battery assembly device. Background Technology

[0002] In circuit board assembly and soldering, the batteries on the circuit board (such as nickel-metal hydride batteries, each 25-30mm in length and 3-5mm in width) are small in size. Therefore, their orientation needs to be restricted during installation. Operators typically need to manually align the batteries before installing them into their corresponding slots on the circuit board to facilitate subsequent soldering processes. This process is inefficient and consumes significant manpower and resources, increasing production costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, it is necessary to provide an automatic battery assembly device for circuit boards to improve the technical problem of low battery assembly efficiency in existing devices.

[0004] This application provides an automatic circuit board battery assembly device, specifically comprising:

[0005] A battery transport mechanism is used to carry and transfer batteries; electrode plates are attached to both poles of the battery.

[0006] A rotary positioning mechanism includes a rotary positioning platform, a battery clamping assembly, and a drive assembly; the rotary positioning platform is used to carry batteries transferred by a battery conveying mechanism; both the battery clamping assembly and the drive assembly are mounted on the rotary positioning platform; the battery clamping assembly is connected to the drive assembly and is used to clamp the battery; the drive assembly is used to drive the battery clamping assembly to rotate along the central axis of the battery to adjust the orientation of the electrode plates.

[0007] The clamping mechanism includes a clamping and positioning platform and a clamping assembly; the clamping assembly is mounted on the clamping and positioning platform, which is used to carry the battery after it has been rotated by the rotary positioning mechanism; the clamping assembly is used to apply pressure to the battery from the electrode plate position so that the electrode plate is pressed and integrated into the battery;

[0008] The fixture conveying mechanism is used to carry and transfer the fixed fixture, and to insert the battery, which has been pressed by the clamping mechanism, into the circuit board on the fixed fixture.

[0009] The aforementioned automatic battery assembly device for circuit boards first uses a battery conveying mechanism to transport batteries with attached electrode plates to a rotary positioning mechanism. Then, the rotary positioning mechanism adjusts the orientation angle of the electrode plates. Next, a clamping mechanism presses the electrode plates together and integrates them into the battery. Finally, a fixture conveying mechanism inserts the battery into the circuit board on the fixed fixture, thereby realizing the automatic assembly of circuit board batteries and improving battery assembly efficiency.

[0010] In at least one embodiment, the clamping assembly includes a first clamping arm, a second clamping arm, and a first driving member. Both the first and second clamping arms are connected to the first driving member. The first driving member is mounted on a rotary positioning platform and configured to drive the first and second clamping arms to move relative to each other to clamp the connecting segment of the electrode sheet.

[0011] In the above embodiments, the first clamping arm, the second clamping arm, and the first driving member cooperate to clamp the connecting section of the electrode sheet, thereby pressing the electrode sheet into the battery. When it is necessary to clamp the electrode sheet, the first driving member drives the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm to move closer together, applying pressure to the connecting section of the electrode sheet, pressing the connecting section of the electrode sheet into the battery under pressure. After the electrode sheet is pressed into the battery, the first driving member drives the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm to move away from each other, thereby releasing the pressure applied to the electrode sheet.

[0012] In at least one embodiment, the clamping mechanism further includes an electrode sheet clamping assembly, which is mounted on and clamps the positioning platform, and is configured to clamp the insertion segment of the electrode sheet.

[0013] In the above embodiments, the automatic battery assembly device for circuit boards can clamp the insertion section of the electrode sheet by the electrode sheet clamping component when the clamping component clamps the battery sheet, thereby reducing the risk of the electrode sheet as a whole deforming or lifting, which helps to ensure that the subsequent electrode sheet is accurately inserted into the circuit board, thereby further improving the installation efficiency of battery assembly.

[0014] In at least one embodiment, the electrode clamping assembly includes a third clamping arm, a fourth clamping arm, and a second driving member. The third and fourth clamping arms are both movably mounted on the clamping and positioning platform and are spaced apart. The second driving member is mounted on the clamping and positioning platform. The second driving member is configured to drive the third and fourth clamping arms to move closer together to clamp the insertion segment of the electrode sheet, and to drive the third and fourth clamping arms to move away from each other to release the clamping of the insertion segment of the electrode sheet.

[0015] In the above embodiments, the clamping and releasing of the electrode plate's insertion segment can be achieved through the cooperation of the third clamping arm, the fourth clamping arm, and the second driving member. When the clamping assembly clamps the battery cell, the second driving member drives the third and fourth clamping arms to move closer together, and the third and fourth clamping arms jointly clamp the electrode plate's insertion segment. After the electrode plate is pressed and integrated into the battery, the second driving member drives the third and fourth clamping arms to move away from each other, thereby releasing the clamping of the battery cell's insertion segment.

[0016] In at least one embodiment, the end of the third clamping arm away from the battery is provided with a first abutment surface, and the end of the fourth clamping arm away from the battery is provided with a second abutment surface. The extended surfaces of the first and second abutment surfaces intersect. The second driving member is a telescopic cylinder, and the output end of the telescopic cylinder is provided with a stop member. The stop member is located between the first and second abutment surfaces, so that when the telescopic cylinder is in the extended state, the stop member abuts against the first and second abutment surfaces respectively, and the ends of the third and fourth clamping arms near the battery move closer to each other. When the telescopic cylinder is in the retracted state, the stop member disengages from the first and second abutment surfaces respectively, and the ends of the third and fourth clamping arms near the battery move further apart.

[0017] In the above embodiments, the cooperation of the first abutment surface, the second abutment surface, and the abutment member enables relative movement between the third and fourth clamping arms to clamp or release the insertion segment of the electrode sheet. When the telescopic cylinder is in the extended state, the abutment member abuts against the first and second abutment surfaces, and the ends of the third and fourth clamping arms near the battery move closer together to clamp the insertion segment of the electrode sheet. When the telescopic cylinder is in the retracted state, the abutment member disengages from the first and second abutment surfaces, and the ends of the third and fourth clamping arms near the battery move away from each other to release the clamping of the insertion segment of the electrode sheet.

[0018] In at least one embodiment, the battery conveying mechanism includes: a feeding assembly including a feeding rack, a third drive member, and a tray for storing batteries; the trays are stacked on the feeding rack; the feeding rack is connected to the third drive member; the third drive member is configured to drive the feeding rack to a feeding position; a battery conveying line including a support and a slide; the support has a first station and a second station; the first station corresponds to the feeding position; the slide is mounted on the support and configured to move between the first station and the second station, such that when the slide is at the first station and the feeding rack has moved to the feeding position, the slide connects to the tray and drives the tray to move to the second station; and a first handling assembly for handling the batteries in the tray to a rotary positioning platform when the tray moves to the second station.

[0019] In the above embodiments, the automatic feeding and transfer of batteries can be achieved through the cooperation of the feeding assembly, the battery conveying line, and the first handling assembly. When it is necessary to transfer batteries to the rotary positioning platform, the slide moves to the first station along the first direction, and the third drive unit drives the feeding rack to move to the feeding position so that the corresponding tray in the feeding rack is connected to the slide. Subsequently, the slide moves to the second station along the first direction, and the first handling assembly transports the batteries in the tray to the rotary positioning platform.

[0020] In at least one embodiment, the slide table is provided with a locking part and the tray is provided with a locking interface. When the feeder moves to the feeding position, the locking part locks into the locking interface.

[0021] In the above embodiments, the engagement of the snap-fit ​​part and the snap-fit ​​interface enables a quick connection between the tray and the slide, facilitating the movement of the tray by the slide. Furthermore, when removing an empty tray, technicians only need to disengage the snap-fit ​​part and the snap-fit ​​interface without damaging the tray or the slide.

[0022] In at least one embodiment, the fixture conveying mechanism includes: a fixture conveying line for carrying and transporting a fixed fixture; and a second transport component for inserting the electrode plates of the battery in the clamping mechanism into the circuit board in the fixed fixture when the fixed fixture moves to an assembly station on the fixture conveying line.

[0023] In the above embodiments, through the cooperation of the fixture conveyor line and the second transport assembly, the battery can be automatically assembled onto the fixed fixture, so that the electrode plates in the battery can be inserted into the circuit board in the fixed fixture. This further improves the automation level and working efficiency of the automatic battery assembly device and reduces the workload of the operators. When assembling the battery and circuit board, the fixture conveyor line transports the fixed fixture to the assembly station. Subsequently, the second transport assembly assembles the battery from the clamping mechanism onto the fixed fixture, and the electrode plates in the battery are inserted into the circuit board in the fixed fixture.

[0024] In at least one embodiment, the fixture conveying mechanism further includes a disassembly and assembly component; the disassembly and assembly component is installed at a disassembly and assembly station on the fixture conveying line for disassembling or installing circuit boards in the fixture.

[0025] In the above embodiments, the disassembly and assembly components enable automatic disassembly and installation of the cover plate in the fixing fixture, eliminating the need for operators to disassemble and install the cover plate. This further improves the automation level and efficiency of the automatic circuit board battery assembly device and reduces the workload of operators. Before the fixture conveyor line, carrying the fixing fixture, moves along the second direction to the assembly station, the disassembly and assembly components disassemble the circuit board from the fixing fixture. After the battery is assembled in the fixing fixture, the disassembly and assembly components install the circuit board onto the fixing fixture, and the electrode plates are inserted into the circuit board.

[0026] In at least one embodiment, the rotation positioning mechanism further includes a CCD camera for detecting the rotation angle of the battery.

[0027] In the above embodiments, the CCD camera can monitor whether the battery has rotated to the target direction, which helps ensure that the electrode plates are accurately inserted into the circuit board, thereby further improving the quality of the assembled battery and circuit board product. When the rotation positioning mechanism drives the battery to rotate to the target direction, the CCD camera acquires image information of the battery after it has rotated to the target direction, and determines whether the battery has rotated to the target direction based on the image information.

[0051] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0052] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0053] This application provides an automatic circuit board battery assembly device. The device is configured to assemble a battery with attached electrode plates into a fixture on which a circuit board is mounted, with the electrode plates inserted into the circuit board. The device includes a rotary positioning mechanism and a clamping mechanism. The rotary positioning mechanism includes a rotary positioning platform, a battery clamping assembly, and a drive assembly. The rotary positioning platform is configured to carry the battery, and both the battery clamping assembly and the drive assembly are mounted on it. The battery clamping assembly is connected to the drive assembly and is configured to clamp the battery. The drive assembly is configured to drive the battery clamping assembly to rotate along the central axis of the battery, causing the battery to rotate to a target direction. The clamping mechanism includes a clamping positioning platform and a clamping assembly. The clamping assembly is mounted on the clamping positioning platform, which is configured to carry the battery after it has rotated to the target direction. The clamping assembly is configured to apply pressure to the electrode plates, causing the electrode plates to be pressed and integrated into the battery.

[0054] In the aforementioned automatic circuit board battery assembly device, the battery clamping assembly holds the battery supported on the rotary positioning platform, and the driving assembly drives the battery clamping assembly to rotate along the central axis of the battery so that the battery rotates to the target direction. After the battery rotates to the target direction, the automatic circuit board battery assembly device transfers the rotated battery to the clamping and positioning platform, and applies pressure to the electrode plates through the clamping assembly to press the electrode plates into the battery.

[0055] Compared to the existing technology of manually rotating and pressing the battery, the combination of the rotation positioning mechanism and the clamping mechanism can not only realize the automatic rotation of the battery to the target direction and the clamping of the electrode plates in the battery, thus improving the installation efficiency of the battery assembly, but also reduce the risk of assembly errors between the circuit board and the battery, thereby improving the performance of the assembled product.

[0056] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described below can be combined with each other. In this embodiment, a first direction and a second direction are defined as intersecting. The first direction is parallel to the direction indicated by X in the illustration, and the second direction is parallel to the direction indicated by Y in the illustration. For ease of reference to the illustrations, the first direction will be referred to as "first direction X" and the second direction as "second direction Y" in the following text.

[0057] One embodiment of this application provides an automatic circuit board battery assembly device 100, which is configured to assemble a battery 200 with electrode plates 210 attached into a fixing fixture 300 on which a circuit board 320 is mounted, wherein the electrode plates 210 are inserted into the circuit board 320.

[0058] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, battery 200 is a nickel-metal hydride battery. Electrode plates 210 are attached to both ends of battery 200. Electrode plates 210 can be either the output terminal (positive terminal) or the input terminal (negative terminal) of the current. It is worth noting that "attached" here means that the electrode plates 210 are adhered to both ends of battery 200. Electrode plates 210 include a connecting section (not shown) and a plug-in section (not shown), with the connecting section attached to battery 200.

[0059] The fixture 300 includes a base plate 310, a cover plate 330, and a circuit board 320. The base plate 310 has a mounting groove (not shown) configured to accommodate the battery 200. The circuit board 320 is mounted on the cover plate 330 and has insertion holes (not shown). The cover plate 330 covers the base plate 310. When the cover plate 330 covers the base plate 310, the insertion section of the electrode sheet 210 is inserted into the insertion hole.

[0060] In other embodiments, the battery 200 may be other types of batteries, and the fixing fixture 300 may be other structures. This application does not limit these, and those skilled in the art can choose according to the actual situation.

[0061] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the automatic battery assembly device 100 for circuit boards includes a rotary positioning mechanism 10 and a clamping mechanism 20. The rotary positioning mechanism 10 includes a rotary positioning platform 11, a battery clamping assembly 12, and a drive assembly 13. The rotary positioning platform 11 is configured to carry the battery 200, and the battery clamping assembly 12 and the drive assembly 13 are both mounted on the rotary positioning platform 11.

[0062] The battery clamping assembly 12 is connected to the drive assembly 13. The battery clamping assembly 12 is configured to clamp the battery 200, and the drive assembly 13 is configured to drive the battery clamping assembly 12 to rotate along the central axis of the battery 200, so that the battery 200 rotates to a target direction. The target direction is specifically the direction of the battery 200 when the electrode plate 210 is opposite to the insertion hole.

[0063] like Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the clamping mechanism 20 includes a clamping and positioning platform 21 and a clamping assembly 22. The clamping assembly 22 is mounted on the clamping and positioning platform 21. The clamping and positioning platform 21 is configured to carry the battery 200 after it has been rotated to the target direction. The clamping assembly 22 is configured to apply pressure to the electrode sheet 210 so that the electrode sheet 210 is pressed and integrated into the battery 200.

[0064] Understandably, when assembling the battery 200 and the circuit board 320, the battery clamping assembly 12 clamps the battery 200 carried on the rotary positioning platform 11, and the driving assembly 13 drives the battery clamping assembly 12 to rotate along the central axis of the battery 200 so that the battery 200 rotates to the target direction.

[0065] After the battery 200 is rotated to the target direction, the circuit board battery automatic assembly device 100 transfers the battery 200 to the clamping and positioning platform 21 and applies pressure to the electrode sheet 210 through the clamping component 22 so that the electrode sheet 210 is pressed and integrated into the battery 200.

[0066] Compared to the existing technology of manually rotating the battery 200 and pressing the electrode plates 210, the automatic circuit board battery assembly device 100 in this application, through the cooperation of the rotation positioning mechanism 10 and the clamping mechanism 20, can not only realize the automatic rotation of the battery 200 to the target direction and the clamping of the electrode plates 210 in the battery 200, thus improving the installation efficiency of battery 200 assembly, but also reduce the risk of assembly errors between the circuit board 320 and the battery 200, thereby improving the performance of the assembled product.

[0067] In this embodiment, as Figure 7 As shown, the clamping assembly 22 includes a first clamping arm 221, a second clamping arm 222, and a first driving member 223. Both the first clamping arm 221 and the second clamping arm 222 are connected to the first driving member 223. The first driving member 223 is mounted on the rotary positioning platform 11 and is configured to drive the first clamping arm 221 and the second clamping arm 222 to move relative to each other to clamp the connecting section of the electrode sheet 210. The first driving member 223 can be a power component such as a drive motor or a drive cylinder.

[0068] Understandably, when it is necessary to clamp the electrode sheet 210, the first driving member 223 drives the first clamping arm 221 and the second clamping arm 222 to move closer together. The first clamping arm 221 and the second clamping arm 222 apply pressure to the connecting section of the electrode sheet 210, and the connecting section of the electrode sheet 210 is pressed into the battery 200 under pressure. After the electrode sheet 210 is pressed and integrated into the battery 200, the first driving member 223 drives the first clamping arm 221 and the second clamping arm 222 to move away from each other, so as to release the pressure applied to the electrode sheet 210.

[0069] In other embodiments, the clamping assembly 22 may also adopt other suitable structures, which are not limited in this application. Those skilled in the art can choose according to the actual situation.

[0070] In this embodiment, as Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the clamping mechanism 20 also includes an electrode sheet clamping assembly 23, which is mounted on the clamping and positioning platform 21 and configured to clamp the insertion section of the electrode sheet 210.

[0071] The automatic battery assembly device 100 can clamp the insertion section of the electrode piece 210 by the electrode piece clamping component 23 when the clamping component 22 clamps the battery piece 200, thereby reducing the risk of the electrode piece 210 being deformed or lifted as a whole. This helps to ensure that the electrode piece 210 is accurately inserted into the circuit board 320, thereby further improving the installation efficiency of the battery 200 assembly.

[0072] The electrode clamping assembly 23 includes a third clamping arm 231, a fourth clamping arm 232, and a second driving member 233. The third clamping arm 231 and the fourth clamping arm 232 are both movably mounted on the clamping and positioning platform 21, and the third clamping arm 231 and the fourth clamping arm 232 are spaced apart.

[0073] The second drive member 233 is mounted on the clamping and positioning platform 21. The second drive member 233 is configured to drive the third clamping arm 231 and the fourth clamping arm 232 to move closer to each other to clamp the insertion section of the electrode sheet 210, and to drive the third clamping arm 231 and the fourth clamping arm 232 to move further apart to release the clamping of the insertion section of the electrode sheet 210.

[0074] Understandably, when the clamping assembly 22 clamps the battery 200 pieces, the second driving member 233 drives the third clamping arm 231 and the fourth clamping arm 232 to move closer to each other, and the third clamping arm 231 and the fourth clamping arm 232 jointly clamp the insertion section of the electrode piece 210. After the electrode piece 210 is pressed and integrated into the battery 200, the second driving member 233 drives the third clamping arm 231 and the fourth clamping arm 232 to move away from each other, so as to release the clamping of the insertion section of the battery 200 pieces.

[0075] In this embodiment, as Figure 8 As shown, the third clamping arm 231 has a first abutment surface 2311 at the end away from the battery 200, and the fourth clamping arm 232 has a second abutment surface 2321 at the end away from the battery 200. The extended surfaces of the first abutment surface 2311 and the second abutment surface 2321 intersect. The second driving member 233 is a telescopic cylinder, and the output end of the telescopic cylinder 233 has a stop member 234, which is located between the first abutment surface 2311 and the second abutment surface 2321.

[0076] When the telescopic cylinder 233 is in the extended state, the abutment member 234 abuts against the first abutment surface 2311 and the second abutment surface 2321, and the ends of the third clamping arm 231 and the fourth clamping arm 232 near the battery 200 move closer to each other. When the telescopic cylinder 233 is in the retracted state, the abutment member 234 disengages from the first abutment surface 2311 and the second abutment surface 2321, and the ends of the third clamping arm 231 and the fourth clamping arm 232 near the battery 200 move further apart.

[0077] In other embodiments, the second driving member 233 can be directly connected to the third clamping arm 231 and the fourth clamping arm 232. The second driving member 233 directly drives the end of the third clamping arm 231 near the battery 200 and the end of the fourth clamping arm 232 near the battery 200 to move closer or further apart. This application does not limit this.

[0078] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the circuit board battery automatic assembly device 100 also includes a battery conveying mechanism 30, which is configured to carry the battery 200 to move along the first direction X and transfer it to the rotary positioning platform 11.

[0079] By setting up the battery conveying mechanism 30, batteries 200 that have not been rotated to the target direction can be automatically transferred to the rotary positioning platform 11, further improving the automation level and working efficiency of the circuit board battery automatic assembly device 100 and reducing the workload of operators.

[0080] like Figure 4 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the battery conveying mechanism 30 includes a feeding assembly 31, a battery conveying line 32, and a first conveying assembly 33. The feeding assembly 31 includes a feeding rack 311, a third drive member 312, and a tray 313 for storing batteries 200. The tray 313 is stacked on top of the feeding rack 311. The feeding rack 311 is connected to the third drive member 312, which is configured to drive the feeding rack 311 to the feeding position.

[0081] The battery conveyor line 32 includes a support 321 and a slide 322. The support 321 has a first station 3211 and a second station 3212 distributed along a first direction X. The first station 3211 corresponds to the feeding position. The slide 322 is mounted on the support 321 and configured to move along the first direction X to the first station 3211 or the second station 3212.

[0082] The slide table 322 is configured to connect with the tray 313 when the feed rack 311 moves to the feeding position at the first station 3211, and to move the tray 313 to the second station 3212. The first conveying assembly 33 is configured to convey the battery 200 in the tray 313 to the rotary positioning platform 11 when the tray 313 moves to the second station 3212.

[0083] Understandably, when it is necessary to transfer the battery 200 to the rotary positioning platform 11, the slide table 322 moves along the first direction X to the first station 3211, and the third drive unit 312 drives the feed rack 311 to move to the feeding position. At this time, the corresponding tray 313 in the feed rack 311 is connected to the slide table 322. Subsequently, the slide table 322 moves along the first direction X to the second station 3212, and drives the tray 313 to move to the second station 3212. The first conveying assembly 33 conveys the battery 200 in the tray 313 to the rotary positioning platform 11.

[0084] In this embodiment, the bracket 321 is provided with a groove (not shown) along the first direction X, and the tray 313 is provided with a sliding part (not shown). When the corresponding tray 313 in the feed rack 311 is connected to the slide table 322, the sliding part is slidably inserted into the groove. The setting of the sliding part and the groove helps to ensure that the tray 313 moves accurately to the second station 3212, reducing the risk of the tray 313 deviating or derailing.

[0085] In other embodiments, the chute and the sliding part can also be arranged in opposite directions. For example, the bracket 321 is provided with a sliding part along the first direction X, and the tray 313 is provided with a chute. This application does not limit this, and those skilled in the art can choose according to the actual situation.

[0086] In this embodiment, as Figure 11 As shown, the slide table 322 is provided with a snap-fit ​​part 3221, and the material tray 313 is provided with a snap-fit ​​interface 3131. When the feeding rack 311 moves to the feeding position, the snap-fit ​​part 3221 snaps into the snap-fit ​​interface 3131.

[0087] The engagement of the latching part 3221 and the latching interface 3131 enables a quick connection between the tray 313 and the slide table 322, facilitating the movement of the tray 313 by the slide table 322. Simultaneously, when removing an empty tray 313, the operator only needs to disengage the latching part 3221 and the latching interface 3131, without damaging the tray 313 or the slide table 322.

[0088] In other embodiments, a magnetic attraction structure can also be used. For example, the slide table 322 is provided with a first magnetic attraction element, and the tray 313 is provided with a second magnetic attraction element, with the first and second magnetic attraction elements having opposite polarities. When the feed rack 311 moves to the feeding position, the first and second magnetic attraction elements attract each other to achieve the connection between the tray 313 and the slide table 322.

[0089] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 12 As shown, the automatic circuit board battery assembly device 100 also includes a fixture conveying mechanism 40, which is configured to carry the fixed fixture 300 to move along the second direction Y. The fixture conveying mechanism 40 enables automatic feeding of the fixed fixture 300, further improving the automation level and working efficiency of the automatic circuit board battery assembly device 100 and reducing the workload of operators.

[0090] The fixture conveying mechanism 40 includes a fixture conveying line 41 and a second transport component 42. The fixture conveying line 41 is provided with an assembly station 411. The second transport component 42 is configured to assemble the battery 200 in the clamping mechanism 20 into the fixed fixture 300 when the fixed fixture 300 moves to the assembly station 411, so that the electrode plate 210 in the battery 200 is inserted into the circuit board 320 in the fixed fixture 300.

[0091] Understandably, when assembling the battery 200 and the circuit board 320, the fixture conveyor line 41 transports the fixture 300 to the assembly station 411. Subsequently, the second transport assembly 42 assembles the battery 200 in the clamping mechanism 20 into the fixture 300, and the electrode plate 210 in the battery 200 is inserted into the circuit board 320 in the fixture 300.

[0092] With the cooperation of the jig conveyor line 41 and the second transport component 42, the battery 200 can be automatically assembled onto the fixed jig 300 so that the electrode plate 210 can be inserted into the circuit board 320, thereby further improving the automation level and working efficiency of the circuit board battery automatic assembly device 100 and reducing the workload of the operator.

[0093] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 13 As shown, the fixture conveyor line 41 is also provided with a disassembly / assembly station 412, which is distributed along the second direction Y with the assembly station 411. The fixture conveyor mechanism 40 also includes a disassembly / assembly assembly 43, which is installed at the assembly station 411.

[0094] The assembly / disassembly assembly 43 is configured to remove the circuit board 320 in the fixture 300 before the fixture 300 is carried on the fixture conveyor line 41 and moved along the second direction Y to the assembly station 411, and to install the circuit board 320 on the fixture 300 after the battery 200 is assembled to the fixture 300, so that the electrode plate 210 is inserted into the circuit board 320.

[0095] Understandably, during the assembly of battery 200 and circuit board 320, fixture conveyor 41 carries fixture 300 and moves it along the second direction Y to the disassembly station. At this time, disassembly assembly 43 removes cover plate 330 from substrate 310. It is worth noting that since circuit board 320 is mounted on cover plate 330, when cover plate 330 is removed, circuit board 320 is also removed from substrate 310 along with cover plate 330.

[0096] Subsequently, the fixture conveyor line 41 carries the substrate 310 and moves it along the second direction Y to the assembly station 411. At this time, the second transport component 42 assembles the battery 200 in the clamping mechanism 20 into the assembly slot of the substrate 310. After the battery 200 is assembled on the substrate 310, the fixture conveyor line 41 drives the substrate 310 back along the second direction Y to the disassembly and assembly station 412. The disassembly and assembly component 43 covers the substrate 310 with the cover plate 330, and the insertion section of the electrode sheet 210 is inserted into the insertion hole of the circuit board 320.

[0097] By setting up the disassembly and assembly component 43, the cover plate 330 in the fixing fixture 300 can be automatically disassembled and installed, eliminating the need for operators to disassemble and install the cover plate 330, further improving the automation level and working efficiency of the circuit board battery automatic assembly device 100, and reducing the workload of operators.

[0098] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the automatic battery assembly device 100 also includes a CCD camera 50, which is configured to acquire image information of the battery 200 after it is rotated to the target direction, so as to monitor whether the battery 200 has rotated to the target direction. This helps to ensure that the electrode sheet 210 is accurately inserted into the circuit board 320, thereby further improving the quality of the product after the battery 200 and the circuit board 320 are assembled.

[0099] For example, preset target image information is set, which is the position information of the battery 200 and the electrode plate 210 when the battery 200 is rotated to the target direction. After the rotation positioning mechanism 10 drives the battery 200 to rotate to the target direction, the CCD camera 50 acquires the image information of the battery 200 after it has rotated to the target direction, and compares the image information acquired by the CCD camera 50 with the target image information.

[0100] If the image information acquired by the CCD camera 50 is the same as the target image information, it means that the battery 200 has rotated to the target direction. At this time, the battery 200 can be transferred to the next process.

[0101] If the image information acquired by the CCD camera 50 is different from the target image information, it means that the battery 200 has not rotated to the target direction. At this time, the rotation positioning mechanism 10 can continue to rotate the battery 200 according to the deviation between the image information acquired by the CCD camera 50 and the target image information.

[0102] In this embodiment, the operation of the circuit board battery automatic assembly device 100 is as follows:

[0103] The fixture conveyor line 41 carries the fixed fixture 300 and moves it along the second direction Y to the disassembly and assembly station 412. The disassembly and assembly assembly 43 removes the cover plate 330 and the circuit board 320 from the substrate 310.

[0104] The fixture conveyor line 41 carries the fixed fixture 300 and moves it along the second direction Y to the assembly station 411.

[0105] The battery conveying mechanism 30 carries the battery 200 and moves it along the first direction X, and transfers the battery 200 to the rotary positioning mechanism 10 through the first transport component 33.

[0106] The rotary positioning mechanism 10 drives the battery 200 to rotate to the target direction and then transfers the battery 200 to the clamping mechanism 20 after it has rotated to the target direction.

[0107] The clamping mechanism 20 applies pressure to the electrode sheet 210 in the battery 200, and the electrode sheet 210 is pressed and integrated into the battery 200.

[0108] The second transport assembly 42 assembles the battery 200 in the clamping mechanism 20 into the assembly slot in the substrate 310.

[0109] The fixture conveyor line 41 carries the fixed fixture 300 and returns to the disassembly and assembly station 412 along the second direction Y. The disassembly and assembly assembly 43 installs the cover plate 330 and the circuit board 320 on the base plate 310, and the electrode plate 210 is inserted into the circuit board 320.

[0110] It should be noted that the above-described working process is not a limitation on the operating sequence of the automatic circuit board battery assembly device 100. Those skilled in the art can change or rearrange the order of the operating steps according to the actual situation.

[0111] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of disclosure of this application.
