Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a taking mechanism, specifically to a square battery shell loading taking mechanism. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of new energy technology, square batteries gradually become one of the mainstream battery forms because of their high energy density, good heat dissipation performance and convenient stacking design. In the production process of square batteries, the wound bare battery cell needs to be loaded into an aluminum shell for packaging. The lithium battery after being loaded into the shell is hard and tough on the outside, which can effectively prevent deformation or damage caused by external force and ensure the safety, stability and service life of the battery. In order to ensure the energy density of the lithium battery, the gap between the bare battery cell and the aluminum shell is usually very small during the loading process. Any carelessness may cause the bare battery cell to be scratched by the aluminum shell, resulting in decarburization and powder falling, which seriously affects the capacity performance and other safety hazards of the battery. In order to prevent this phenomenon, a square battery shell loading taking mechanism is designed. SUMMARY

[0003] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model aims to provide a square battery shell loading taking mechanism with high positioning accuracy, strong detection and the ability to quickly and accurately realize the loading and packaging of bare battery cells.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model is implemented by the following technical scheme: a square battery shell loading taking mechanism, comprising a fixed plate, a lithium battery loading device, a standby material mechanical hand, a positioning mechanical hand, a standby material area and a to-be-loaded shell positioning area, the fixed plate is provided with a lithium battery loading device which can move left and right on one side, the right end of the lithium battery loading device is respectively provided with a standby material mechanical hand and a positioning mechanical hand, the positioning mechanical hand is provided below the standby material area, and the standby material area is provided with a to-be-loaded shell positioning area on one side.

[0005] As a preferred, the standby material area is divided into a first standby material area and a second standby material area.

[0006] As a preferred, the lithium battery loading device is provided with a tray fixing position (tray limiting frame) for placing a blister tray containing battery cells 8.

[0007] The lithium battery loading device of the utility model can move left and right to adjust the position, which facilitates the taking of the battery cell by the taking mechanical hand. The purpose of the double standby material area design is to improve the production rhythm and avoid the waiting condition of the mechanical hand during the loading into the shell. The positioning accuracy is high, the detection is strong, and the loading and packaging of the bare battery cell into the shell can be quickly and accurately realized. The overall structure is reasonably designed, has high automation degree and strong practicability. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0008] The utility model will be described in detail in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0009] Figure 1 The utility model discloses a structural schematic diagram. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0010] In order to make the technical means, creation features, purposes and effects of the utility model easy to understand, the utility model is further described below in combination with specific embodiments.

[0011] Referring to Figure 1 The utility model discloses a square battery enters the shell material taking mechanism, including fixed plate 1, lithium battery feeding device 2, spare mechanical hand 3, positioning mechanical hand 4, spare area 5 and be in the shell positioning area 6, the fixed plate 1 one side is provided with the lithium battery feeding device 2 that can move left and right, the right end of lithium battery feeding device 2 is provided with spare mechanical hand 3, positioning mechanical hand 4 respectively, positioning mechanical hand 4 below is provided with spare area 5, and spare area 5 one side is provided with be in the shell positioning area 6.

[0012] It is worth noting that the spare area 5 is divided into the first spare area 51 and the second spare area 52.

[0013] In addition, the lithium battery feeding device 2 is provided with a tray fixing position (tray limiting frame 21) for placing the blister tray 7 loaded with the battery cell 8.

[0014] The working principle of the embodiment is as follows: the external mechanical hand grabs the tray loaded with the bare battery cell and places it on the tray fixing position, then the spare mechanical hand grabs the battery cell of the tray and places it in the spare area to complete the first positioning, the double spare area is designed to improve the production rhythm and avoid the waiting condition of the mechanical hand when entering the shell. Then, the positioning mechanical hand sucks the bare battery cell from the spare area and places it in the shell to complete the second accurate positioning, and finally the external mechanical hand completes the packaging of the bare battery cell and the aluminum shell.

[0015] The double-material preparation area design of the embodiment significantly improves the production rhythm, avoids the waiting time of the manipulator during the shell entering process, and thus improves the overall production efficiency. Through the cooperative work of the material preparation manipulator and the positioning manipulator, the bare battery cell is precisely positioned twice, ensuring the accuracy of the bare battery cell and the aluminum shell packaging. The entire operation process is automatically completed by the external manipulator, the material preparation manipulator and the positioning manipulator, reducing manual intervention and improving the automation level of production. The design of the fixed plate makes the entire mechanism more stable, reducing the shaking or deviation phenomenon that may occur during operation and improving the reliability of the system. By adjusting the action parameters of the material preparation manipulator and the positioning manipulator, different specifications of bare battery cells and aluminum shells can be adapted, increasing the flexibility and scope of application of the equipment. The compact design makes the mechanism occupy less space, making it suitable for use in production environments with limited space. The clear operation path and modular design make the mechanism easy to maintain and clean, reducing the risk of failure due to dust or debris.
