[0091] The bare battery cell detection device includes a main body detection device, a tab detection device and a conveying and carrying device, the main body detection device is used for shooting the top surface of the main body, the bottom surface of the main body and the side surface of the main body, and obtaining a main body top surface image, a main body bottom surface image and a main body side surface image; the tab detection device includes a tab misalignment detection mechanism 200 and a tab surface detection mechanism, the tab misalignment detection mechanism 200 is used for obtaining a tab misalignment image, and the tab surface detection mechanism is used for shooting the side surface and the end surface of the tab to obtain a tab side surface image and a tab end surface image; the conveying and carrying device is used for driving the bare battery cell 900 to pass through the main body detection device and the tab detection device respectively.
[0092] It can be understood that the bare battery cell 900 located at the previous sequence work station is moved to the tab misalignment detection mechanism 200, the tab surface detection mechanism and the body detection device by the conveying and carrying device, so as to shoot the top surface, side surface and end surface of the tab, and the top surface, bottom surface and side surface of the body, thereby obtaining the corresponding tab misalignment image, tab side surface image and tab end surface image, body top surface image, body bottom surface image and body side surface image, and identifying and analyzing by using the upper computer, so that the detection result of the bare battery cell 900 can be generated, the body and the tab of the bare battery cell 900 are comprehensively detected by using an automatic mode, subjective judgment errors and fatigue factors that may occur in manual detection are reduced, the detection efficiency is improved, the accuracy of the detection result is improved, and the production cost is reduced.
[0093] It should be noted that the upper computer can be a device including a processor and a memory storing computer program instructions.

The processor can include a central processing unit, or a specific integrated circuit, or one or more integrated circuits configured to implement the embodiments of the present application.

[0094] According to the bare battery cell detection device provided in the embodiments of the present application, the body detection device, the tab detection device and the conveying and carrying device are provided, so that the body and the tab of the bare battery cell 900 are comprehensively detected by using an automatic mode, subjective judgment errors and fatigue factors that may occur in manual detection are reduced, the detection efficiency is improved, the accuracy of the detection result is improved, and the production cost is reduced.
[0095] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the bare battery cell detection device has a plurality of detection work stations, the conveying and carrying device includes a conveying mechanism 400 and a carrying mechanism 500, and at least part of the plurality of detection work stations is located on the conveying mechanism 400; the carrying mechanism 500 forms a clamping space for clamping the bare battery cell 900, and is used to drive the bare battery cell 900 to approach or move away from at least part of the plurality of detection work stations. It should be noted that the number and specific distribution of the detection work stations can be designed according to actual needs, and the embodiments do not make specific limitations thereto.
[0096] It can be understood that the body detection device, the tab misalignment detection mechanism 200 and the tab surface detection mechanism are respectively arranged on different detection stations, and at least part of the detection stations are located on the conveying mechanism 400, so that the detection can be more efficient, and the handling mechanism 500 is used to clamp the bare battery cell 900 to move from the previous process to the detection station not arranged on the conveying mechanism 400, to the detection station on the conveying mechanism 400, and to the subsequent process from the detected bare battery cell 900, realizing the full automation of the bare battery cell 900 detection, and minimizing manual operation.
[0097] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 The conveying mechanism 400 includes a conveying frame 410, a circulating conveying line and a plurality of carriers 450. The circulating conveying line is installed on the conveying frame 410, and the head and tail of the circulating conveying line are connected. The carriers 450 are movably arranged on the circulating conveying line, and the carriers 450 are used to carry the bare battery cell 900. That is, by arranging the circulating conveying line and cooperating with the plurality of carriers 450, a circulating conveying of the carriers 450 and a full and efficient detection mode of the bare battery cell 900 are formed, the flexibility and efficiency of the whole conveying process are increased, and the degree of automation is improved.
[0098] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 The circulating conveying line includes an upper conveying line, a lower conveying line and two lifting structures 440. The upper conveying line and the lower conveying line are arranged on the conveying frame 410, and the conveying direction of the lower conveying line is opposite to that of the upper conveying line. The two lifting structures 440 are respectively located on both sides of the lower conveying line. The fixed end of the lifting structure 440 is arranged on the conveying frame 410, and the movable end of the lifting structure 440 is selectively connected with one of the lower conveying line or the upper conveying line. The carrier 450 is movably arranged on one of the lower conveying line, the upper conveying line and the lifting structure 440. It should be noted that the conveying mechanism is in a double-layer structure, that is, the upper conveying line is located on the upper layer of the frame, and the lower conveying line is located on the lower layer of the frame.
[0099] It can be understood that the upper conveying line is located on the upper layer of the lower conveying line, at least part of the plurality of detection stations is located on the upper conveying line, the carrying mechanism 500 drives the bare battery cell 900 to approach or move away from the detection station located at the end of the upper conveying line, and the conveying directions of the lower conveying line and the upper conveying line are opposite, and in addition, the two lifting structures 440 are respectively located on both sides of the lower conveying line and can be respectively connected with the upper conveying line or the lower conveying line, thereby forming a circulating conveying of the carrier 450 and a full and efficient detection mode of the bare battery cell 900, increasing the flexibility and efficiency of the whole conveying process, and improving the automation degree. At the same time, the upper conveying line and the lower conveying line ingeniously utilize the vertical space, thereby improving the rapid transfer and shunting of the carrier 450 without increasing the floor area, reducing the waiting time and transfer times of the bare battery cell 900 in the detection process, and improving the production efficiency.
[0100] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the conveying directions of the upper conveying line and the lower conveying line are parallel to the width direction of the bare battery cell 900 located on the carrier 450, so as to further reduce the floor area and make the conveying mechanism 400 more compact.
[0101] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2 to 4 , the upper conveying line comprises an upper support 421, a coupling member 423 and a conveying driving member 424, the upper support 421 is arranged on the conveying rack 410, and the upper support 421 is provided with a first sliding rail 422 which is in sliding fit with the carrier 450; the coupling member 423 is detachably connected with the carrier 450 and is adapted to drive all the carriers 450 located on the first sliding rail 422 and the carrier 450 arranged on the lifting structure 440 to move synchronously; and the fixed end of the conveying driving member 424 is arranged on the conveying rack 410, and the driving end of the conveying driving member 424 is connected with the coupling member 423, so as to drive the coupling member 423 to reciprocate along the extension direction of the first sliding rail 422.
[0102] It can be understood that the carrier 450 can drive the bare battery cell 900 to slide on the first sliding rail 422, so as to realize switching among different detection stations. The coupling member 423 is connected with all the carriers 450 located on the first sliding rail 422 and the carrier 450 connected with the upper conveying line on the lifting structure 440, so as to ensure that the plurality of bare battery cells 900 can be simultaneously and synchronously detected in different detection stations while reducing the interference between the bare battery cells 900, and ensure the coordination and consistency of the carrier 450 in the conveying process, and improve the accuracy and efficiency of the detection and the conveying efficiency.
[0103] In addition, when the lifting structure 440 at the first end is connected to the upper conveyor line, the connecting member 423 connects the carrier 450 on the first slide rail 422 and the carrier 450 on the lifting structure 440. Thus, the carrier 450 on the lifting structure 440 is transferred to the first slide rail 422 by the conveying drive member 424, so that the bare battery cells 900 on the carrier 450 pass through each inspection station one by one. When the lifting structure 440 at the second end is connected to the upper conveyor line, the connecting member 423 connects the carrier 450 on the first slide rail 422. Thus, the carrier 450 on the first slide rail 422 is transferred to the lifting structure 440 by the conveying drive member 424. Since the bare battery cells 900 on the carrier 450 have been inspected, the transport mechanism 500 can grab the bare battery cells 900 and transfer them to the subsequent station. The lifting structure 440 drives the carrier 450 to move downward until it is connected to the lower conveyor line.
[0104] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, a conveying slider 460 is provided at the bottom of the carrier 450. The conveying slider 460 slides in cooperation with the first slide rail 422, thereby driving the carrier 450 to move on the first slide rail 422. Exemplarily, the conveying drive component 424 includes, but is not limited to, a ball screw direct-drive mechanism, which achieves linear motion by means of a servo motor, a ball screw and a cooperating linear guide rail. This is a common technical means used by those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
[0105] In some embodiments, such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, a first limiting member 425 is provided on the carrier 450, and the upper conveyor line also includes multiple second limiting members and a positioning drive member. The second limiting member is provided on the connecting member 423; the fixed end of the positioning drive member is provided on the driving end of the conveying drive member 424, and the driving end of the positioning drive member is connected to the connecting member 423, which is used to drive the connecting member 423 to move in the up and down direction so that the first limiting member 425 and the second limiting member abut or disengage.
[0106] It is understandable that by using the cooperation of the first limiting member 425 and the second limiting member, and by driving the connecting member 423 to move up and down through the positioning drive member, the first limiting member 425 of the carrier 450 cooperates with different second limiting members during the movement, thereby achieving precise positioning and release of the carrier 450, ensuring the precise alignment of the bare cell 900 during the testing process, and improving the automation, efficiency and safety of the testing process.
[0107] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second limiting member includes two spaced rollers 4261, which are disposed on the connecting member 423. The two rollers 4261 are adapted to roll into contact with the two sides of the first limiting member 425 that are disposed opposite to each other along the extension direction of the first slide rail 422.
[0108] It can be understood that the two rollers 4261 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the first slide rail 422, and the rollers 4261 are located on the side of the coupling member 423 close to the upper layer support 421. By rolling cooperation of the rollers 4261 with the two side surfaces of the first limiting member 425, not only can the stable guidance and positioning of the carrier 450 on the first slide rail 422 be realized, but also the rolling friction is used to replace the sliding friction, so as to reduce the possibility of wear and jamming, and improve the smoothness and reliability of the use of the upper layer conveying line.
[0109] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the lower layer conveying line includes a lower layer support 431, a conveyor belt assembly 433, and a plurality of spaced-apart poking members 434. The lower layer support 431 is arranged on the conveying rack 410, and the second slide rail 432 that is in sliding cooperation with the carrier 450 is arranged on the lower layer support 431. The conveyor belt assembly 433 is arranged on the conveying rack 410 and located on one side of the lower layer support 431. The conveyor belt assembly 433 includes a conveyor belt and a conveyor belt driving member that drives the movement of the conveyor belt. The length direction of the conveyor belt is parallel to the extension direction of the second slide rail 432, and the two ends of the conveyor belt along the length direction protrude from the two ends of the second slide rail 432. The poking members 434 are arranged on the conveyor belt and are in abutting cooperation with the carrier 450 on the second slide rail 432, so as to drive the carrier 450 to approach or move away from the lifting structure 440 under the action of the conveyor belt driving member.
[0110] It can be understood that the second slide rail 432 is located directly below the first slide rail 422, and the extension direction of the second slide rail 432 is parallel to the extension direction of the first slide rail 422. The carrier 450 is in sliding cooperation with the second slide rail 432 through the conveying slide block 460, and the length direction of the conveyor belt is parallel to the extension direction of the second slide rail 432, and the two ends of the conveyor belt along the length direction protrude from the two ends of the second slide rail 432. This can ensure that the conveyor belt can cover the entire length of the second slide rail 432 when moving, so as to effectively drive the carrier 450 to move on the second slide rail 432 to approach or move away from the lifting structure 440 through the poking members 434, thereby realizing efficient and accurate conveying of the carrier 450 on the second slide rail 432, reducing wear and energy loss, and improving the automation level and operation efficiency of the entire conveying mechanism 400.
[0111] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2As shown, the lower conveying line further comprises a buffer positioning member 435, which comprises a jacking drive and a buffer portion. The fixed end of the jacking drive is arranged on the lower support 431, and the output end of the jacking drive is connected with the buffer portion, for driving the buffer portion to move along the up-down direction to approach or move away from the carrier 450, thereby adjusting the pace of the carrier 450 moving from the second slide rail 432 to the lifting structure 440 located downstream of the conveying belt. The jacking drive comprises but is not limited to a linear cylinder. It should be noted that the number and specific distribution of the buffer positioning member 435 can be designed according to actual needs, and the present embodiment does not make specific limitations thereto.
[0112] It can be understood that the buffer positioning member 435 is arranged on the side of the lower support 431 away from the conveying belt, and close to the end of the lower support 431. When the lifting structure 440 close to the downstream of the conveying belt and the upper conveying line are connected, the buffer portion is moved upward by the jacking drive and abuts with the carrier 450, thereby triggering the conveying belt to pause until the lifting structure and the upper conveying line are disconnected and connected with the lower conveying line. The buffer portion is moved downward by the jacking drive and is disengaged from the carrier 450, and the conveying belt is restarted, so as to smoothly dock the carrier 450 with the lifting structure 440, thereby providing additional safety protection, reducing downtime caused by adjusting the position of the carrier 450, and improving the operation efficiency of the entire detection equipment.
[0113] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 The lifting structure 440 comprises a lifting support 441 and a lifting drive. The lifting support 441 is provided with a third slide rail 442 which is in sliding cooperation with the carrier 450. The fixed end of the lifting drive is arranged on the conveying frame 410, and the driving end of the lifting drive is connected with the lifting support 441, for driving the lifting support 441 to move along the up-down direction to make the third slide rail 442 in splicing cooperation with one of the first slide rail 422 and the second slide rail 432, and disengaged from the other one of the first slide rail 422 and the second slide rail 432.
[0114] It is understood that the carrier 450 is slidably engaged with the third slide rail 442 via the conveying slider 460. The extension direction of the third slide rail 442 is parallel to the extension direction of the first slide rail 422. When the third slide rail 442 is driven upward by the lifting drive to connect with the first slide rail 422, it is convenient for the carrier 450 located at the end of the first slide rail 422 to slide into the third slide rail 442 via the connecting member 423, or for the carrier 450 on the third slide rail 442 to slide into the first slide rail 422 via the connecting member 423. Similarly, when the third slide rail 442 is driven downward by the lifting drive to connect with the second slide rail, the carrier 450 located at the end of the second slide rail 432 can slide into the third slide rail 442 via the actuating element 434, or the carrier 450 on the third slide rail 442 can slide into the second slide rail 432 via the actuating element 434. This enables the automatic docking of the carrier 450 between the upper and lower conveyor lines, ensuring stability and safety during the transfer of the carrier 450 and improving conveying efficiency.
[0115] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the conveying mechanism 400 also includes a plurality of first sensors 470 and a plurality of first proximity sensors 480. Each first sensor 470 corresponds to and is connected to a carrier 450. The upper conveyor line, lower conveyor line, and lifting structure 440 are all equipped with first proximity sensors 480. The first proximity sensors 480 are used to sense whether the corresponding carrier 450 is in position based on the first sensors 470. For example, the first proximity sensors 480 can be electromagnetic, photoelectric, ultrasonic, or other types of sensors, capable of sensing the presence of the first sensors 470 and sending a position signal to the host computer.
[0116] Understandably, each carrier 450 is equipped with a corresponding first sensor 470, which sends a signal to the nearest first proximity sensor 480 when it moves to each detection station of the upper conveyor line, the end of the lower conveyor line, or the third slide rail 442. This allows the host computer to accurately monitor the position of the carrier 450 in real time, reducing downtime caused by waiting for the carrier 450 to arrive, improving production efficiency, helping to avoid collisions between carriers 450, reducing reliance on manual monitoring, lowering the possibility of human error, optimizing the conveying and detection process, improving overall production efficiency, and achieving more intelligent and automated detection operations.
[0117] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, a first QR code is provided on the carrier 450; the conveying mechanism 400 also includes a first barcode scanner 490, which is located near the end of the upper conveyor line and is communicatively connected to a first proximity sensor 480 for scanning and identifying the first QR code on the carrier 450 in place.
[0118] Understandably, each carrier 450 is equipped with a unique first QR code containing information related to the carrier 450, such as the carrier number and type. The first barcode scanner 490 is located outside the upper conveyor line and above the lifting support 441. It automatically triggers the scanning operation when the first proximity sensor 480 detects the carrier 450 in place, realizing automatic identification and information reading of the carrier 450 without manual intervention. This provides an accurate and error-free data input method, reduces reliance on manual operation, lowers the risk of human error, improves the response speed and accuracy of the entire conveyor mechanism 400, and also enables monitoring and detection of the current status of the bare battery cells 900 carried by the carrier 450.
[0119] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the first barcode scanner 490 is mounted on one of the lifting support members 441.
[0120] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the carrier 450 includes a base 451, a mounting member, and at least a pair of movable members 453. The base 451 is movably disposed on the circulating conveyor line. The mounting member is disposed on the base 451 and is used to support the main body. The movable member 453 is movably disposed on the base 451 and has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the movable member 453 is disengaged from the main body, and in the second state, the movable member 453 elastically abuts against the top surface of the main body.
[0121] Understandably, the bottom surface of the base 451 is equipped with a conveyor slider 460, and the top surface of the base 451, outside the mounting component, is equipped with a first QR code. When the movable part 453 is in the first state, it is disengaged from the main body, facilitating the inspection of the bare battery cell 900 at the inspection station and reducing the impact of the movable part 453 on the normal inspection of the bare battery cell 900. When the movable part 453 is in the second state, it abuts against the top surface of the main body, ensuring the stability of the bare battery cell 900 during transport on the upper conveyor line and reducing safety risks caused by movement, tilting, or detachment of the bare battery cell 900 from the mounting component. Furthermore, the movable part 453 can elastically abut against the main body, automatically adjusting according to the different size requirements of the bare battery cell 900, while reducing hard contact and friction between the two, minimizing the possibility of surface damage to the bare battery cell 900, and improving the inspection pass rate.
[0122] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the mounting component includes a mounting block 4521 and two adjusting blocks 4522. The mounting block 4521 is disposed on the base 451 and forms a first groove and two second grooves 45212. The first groove extends through the surface of the mounting block 4521 along the length direction of the bare cell 900, and the bottom of the first groove at least partially abuts against the bottom surface of the main body. The second grooves 45212 extend through the surface of the mounting block 4521 along the vertical direction, and the two second grooves 45212 are arranged opposite each other with their openings facing away from each other. The two adjusting blocks 4522 correspond one-to-one with the second grooves 45212, and the adjusting blocks 4522 are adjustablely positioned within the second grooves 45212 along the width direction of the bare cell 900. It should be noted that the shape and size of the first groove and the second groove 45212 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.
[0123] It is understood that the main body is placed in the first groove, and the first groove extends through the mounting block 4521 along its length, thereby enabling the mounting component to support the bare battery cell 900 while avoiding the tabs of bare battery cells 900 of different lengths. Two second grooves 45212 are respectively located on both sides of the mounting block 4521 along the width direction of the bare battery cell 900, thus making the mounting block 4521 I-shaped. Simultaneously, by adjusting the installation positions of the two adjusting blocks 4522 along the width direction of the bare battery cell 900 within the second grooves 45212, i.e., the distance between the bottom of the adjusting blocks 4522 and the second grooves 45212 is adjustable and suitable for contact with the bare battery cell 900, it can accommodate bare battery cells 900 of different widths. The mounting component can accommodate bare battery cells 900 of different sizes, ensuring stable placement of the bare battery cell 900 on the mounting component and improving the versatility and flexibility of the carrier 450.
[0124] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, one of the adjusting block 4522 and the base 451 is provided with a first connecting hole in the shape of an elongated strip, and the other of the adjusting block 4522 and the base 451 is provided with multiple second connecting holes. The second connecting holes are screwed to the first connecting holes, that is, the first connecting holes extend along the width direction of the bare cell 900. By screwing different second connecting holes to the first connecting holes, the installation position of the adjusting block 4522 can be adjusted to accommodate bare cells 900 of different widths, thereby improving the versatility and adaptability of the carrier 450.
[0125] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, a limiting part 4523 is provided on the side of the adjusting block 4522 away from the base 451. The limiting part 4523 is located on the side of the adjusting block 4522 near the bottom of the corresponding second groove 45212. The inner wall of the first groove abuts against the side part of the main body. And / or the two sides of the two limiting parts 4523 that are close to each other abut against the side part of the main body.
[0126] It is understood that the top surface of the limiting part 4523 protrudes from the top surface of the adjusting block 4522, and the limiting part 4523 is located at the end of the adjusting block 4522 near the middle of the mounting block 4521. This allows at least one of the inner sidewall of the first groove and the side of the limiting part 4523 to fit together when the bottom surface of the main body and the bottom of the first groove are in contact. This provides a limiting for the bare cell 900 along its width direction, ensuring the precise positioning of the bare cell 900 in the mounting component, reducing the possibility of displacement of the bare cell 900 during transportation and testing, and enhancing the stability of the bare cell 900 in the mounting component.
[0127] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the mounting component also includes an extension block 4524, which is disposed on the base 451 and located outside the mounting block 4521. The extension block 4524 forms a third groove that communicates with the first groove. The third groove extends through the surface of the extension block 4524 along the length direction of the bare cell 900. The bottom of the third groove abuts against the bottom surface of the main body, and the inner sidewall of the third groove is adapted to abut against the side surface of the main body. The connection method between the extension block 4524 and the base 451 includes, but is not limited to, threaded connection or snap-fit connection.
[0128] Understandably, the extension block 4524 and the mounting block 4521 are spliced along the length of the bare cell 900, thereby increasing the contact area with the bare cell 900 to accommodate bare cells 900 of different lengths, thus improving the versatility and adaptability of the carrier 450.
[0129] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, there are two extension blocks 4524, and the two extension blocks 4524 are respectively connected to the two sides of the mounting component that are opposite to each other along the length direction of the bare cell 900.
[0130] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the carrier 450 also includes a first reinforcing plate 454. The bottom surface of the first reinforcing plate 454 is connected to the bottom of the first groove and the bottom of the third groove, respectively. The top surface of the first reinforcing plate 454 is used to support the main body.
[0131] It is understandable that part of the first reinforcing plate 454 is set in the first groove and the other part is set in the third groove. That is, the main body is indirectly connected to the mounting block 4521 and the extension block 4524 through the reinforcing plate. The first reinforcing plate 454 makes the connection between the mounting block 4521 and the reinforcing block more stable, enhances the overall stability of the carrier 450, enables it to withstand heavier loads, and ensures that the bare cell 900 has stable support in the entire length direction.
[0132] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the carrier 450 also includes two second reinforcing plates 455, which are respectively disposed on the sides of the base 451 opposite each other along the length direction of the bare cell 900. The second reinforcing plates 455 extend along the length direction of the bare cell 900 to abut against the bottom surface of the main body. For example, the second reinforcing plates 455 are L-shaped.
[0133] Understandably, the two second reinforcing plates 455 are respectively disposed on the sides of the base 451 that are opposite each other along the length of the bare cell 900. That is, the top surface of the second reinforcing plate 455 and the top surface of the first reinforcing plate 454 are spliced together to form a continuous plane, thereby providing additional support for the bare cell 900 and ensuring the stability of the bare cell 900 during transportation and testing.
[0134] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the carrier 450 also includes two elastic members and two rotary drive members 456. The elastic members and rotary drive members 456 correspond to each other and are connected. The fixed end of the rotary drive member 456 is installed on the base 451, and the output end of the rotary drive member 456 is connected to the corresponding movable member 453 to drive the movable member 453 to rotate around the upper and lower axes, so as to realize the switching of the movable member 453 between the first state and the second state.
[0135] In some embodiments, such as Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the conveying mechanism 500 includes a gripper assembly 520, a conveying drive assembly 510, and a limiting assembly. The gripper assembly 520 has a gripping state for gripping bare battery cells 900 of various sizes. The output end of the conveying drive assembly 510 is connected to the gripper assembly 520 and is used to drive the gripper assembly 520 to move in the vertical direction and in the width direction of the bare battery cell 900. The limiting assembly is disposed between the conveying drive assembly 510 and the gripper assembly 520 and is used to limit the movement range of the gripper assembly 520.
[0136] Understandably, the transport drive assembly 510 moves the gripper assembly 520 downwards and closer to the bare battery cell 900. At this point, the clamping space increases to allow the bare battery cell 900 to enter the clamping space. Subsequently, the clamping space is adjusted to decrease to fix the bare battery cell 900. Then, the transport drive assembly 510 moves the gripper assembly 520 to the inspection station, achieving rapid and precise clamping and release actions, improving transport efficiency, shortening the production cycle, reducing the need for manual handling, and lowering labor intensity and the risk of operational errors. Simultaneously, the gripper assembly 520 has a clamping state suitable for holding bare battery cells 900 of various sizes; that is, the clamping space is adjustable and can accommodate different sizes of bare battery cells 900, improving the versatility of the transport mechanism 500. Furthermore, a limiting component is positioned between the transport drive assembly 510 and the gripper assembly 520 to limit the movement range of the gripper assembly 520, thereby ensuring that the gripper assembly 520 always moves within a safe and preset range, reducing the risk of damage to the transport mechanism 500 and the bare battery cell 900.
[0137] In some embodiments, such as Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the gripper assembly 520 includes a gripper mounting base 521, two opposing gripper connectors 522, and a clamping member 523. The gripper mounting base 521 is connected to the output end of the conveying drive assembly 510. The gripper connectors 522 are disposed on the gripper mounting base 521, and the distance between the two gripper connectors 522 along the width direction of the bare cell 900 is adjustable. Each gripper connector 522 is provided with at least one clamping member 523, and a clamping space is formed between all the clamping members 523. The installation position of the clamping member 523 along the length direction of the bare cell 900 is adjustable.
[0138] Understandably, the distance between the two gripper connectors 522 along the width direction of the bare cell 900 is adjustable, thereby changing the distance between the corresponding clamping members 523 along the width direction of the bare cell 900 to accommodate bare cells 900 of different widths. The mounting position of the clamping member 523 on the corresponding gripper connector 522 along the length direction of the bare cell 900 is adjustable to accommodate bare cells 900 of different widths, thus achieving adjustable clamping space and accurately clamping the bare cell 900, reducing vibration and movement of the bare cell 900 during handling.
[0139] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 and Figure 9As shown, the bottom surface of the gripper mounting base 521 is provided with a fourth slide rail 5211 extending along the width direction of the bare cell 900, and the top surface of the gripper connector 522 is provided with a matching slider that cooperates with the fourth slide rail 5211, so that the gripper connector 522 can be movably mounted on the gripper mounting base 521 along the width direction of the bare cell 900, thereby realizing the width between the two gripper connectors 522 is adjustable.
[0140] In some embodiments, such as Figures 7 to 9 As shown, one of the gripper connector 522 and the clamping member 523 is provided with a third connecting hole 5221 in the shape of an elongated strip, and the other of the gripper connector 522 and the clamping member 523 is provided with multiple fourth connecting holes. The third connecting hole 5221 and the fourth connecting holes are screwed together, that is, the third connecting hole 5221 extends along the length direction of the bare cell 900. By screwing together different fourth connecting holes and the third connecting hole 5221, the installation position of the clamping member 523 can be adjusted to accommodate bare cells 900 of different lengths, thereby improving the versatility and adaptability of the gripper assembly 520.
[0141] In this embodiment, the third connecting hole 5221 is disposed on the gripper connector 522 and the clamping member 523. It should be noted that the number and specific distribution of the third connecting hole 5221 and the fourth connecting hole can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.
[0142] In some embodiments, such as Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the clamping member 523 is located on the side where the two clamping jaw connectors 522 are close to each other, and the two clamping jaw connectors 522 are provided with adjustment scale lines on the side facing away from each other, and the adjustment scale lines extend along the length direction of the bare cell 900.
[0143] Understandably, the third connection hole 5221 is provided with an adjustment scale line extending along the length of the bare cell 900, which facilitates quick and precise adjustment of the clamping member 523 according to different sizes of the bare cell 900, improving the convenience and accuracy of operation and helping to improve handling efficiency.
[0144] In some embodiments, such as Figures 7 to 9 As shown, multiple clamping members 523 are provided, and these clamping members 523 are spaced apart along the length direction of the bare battery cell 900, thereby increasing the contact area with the bare battery cell 900. This ensures that the bare battery cell 900 is uniformly supported along its length, reduces local pressure on the bare battery cell 900, and enhances the stability of the bare battery cell 900 during handling. For example, each gripper connector 522 is provided with four clamping members 523.
[0145] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9As shown, the clamping member 523 includes a vertical section 5231 and a horizontal section 5232. The upper end of the vertical section 5231 is connected to the jaw connector 522 and is suitable for abutting and engaging with the bare battery cell 900. One end of the horizontal section 5232 is connected to the lower end of the vertical section 5231 and extends along the width direction of the bare battery cell 900 to support the bare battery cell 900.
[0146] It is understandable that the upper end of the vertical section 5231 is connected to the gripper connector 522, and the lower end is connected to the horizontal section 5232. That is, the clamping member 523 is L-shaped. Therefore, the vertical section 5231 can abut against the side of the main body, and the horizontal section 5232 can abut against the bottom of the main body, thereby providing stable lateral and vertical support and reducing the risk of physical damage to the bare cell 900.
[0147] In some embodiments, such as Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the bottom of the clamping member 523 is provided with a rubber coating layer, that is, the top surface of the horizontal section 5232 and the lower part of the vertical section 5231 are both provided with a rubber coating layer. By utilizing the good elasticity and friction coefficient of the rubber coating layer, the friction between the clamping member 523 and the bare battery cell 900 can be enhanced, the clamping stability can be improved and the bare battery cell 900 can be protected, damage and maintenance costs can be reduced, and the overall production efficiency and product quality can be improved.
[0148] In some embodiments, such as Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the gripper assembly 520 also includes an in-use laser sensor 524, which includes a laser emitter and a laser receiver. The laser emitter and the laser receiver are respectively located outside the two gripping members 523 corresponding to the two gripper connectors 522.
[0149] Understandably, the laser emitter is responsible for emitting a laser beam to detect or measure the distance between itself and the bare battery cell 900, ensuring the accuracy of the clamping position. The laser receiver is used to receive the laser beam emitted from the laser emitter and reflected back by the bare battery cell 900. Through real-time monitoring by the laser sensor 524, it is possible to accurately determine whether the bare battery cell 900 is clamped, reducing the possibility of over-clamping or incorrect clamping, ensuring the stability and safety of the bare battery cell 900 during handling, while improving production efficiency and ease of operation.
[0150] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the conveying drive assembly 510 includes a first linear drive unit 511 and a second linear drive unit. The fixed end of the second linear drive unit is connected to the output end of the first linear drive unit 511. The first linear drive unit 511 drives the second linear drive unit to move in the vertical direction. The output end of the second linear drive unit is connected to the gripper mounting base 521 of the gripper assembly 520. The second linear drive unit drives the gripper mounting base 521 to move along the width direction of the bare battery cell 900. Exemplarily, the first linear drive unit 511 includes, but is not limited to, a linear motor guide rail.
[0151] Understandably, the combined use of the first linear drive unit 511 and the second linear drive unit provides precise vertical and horizontal movement control for the gripper assembly 520, ensuring that the gripper assembly 520 can accurately position the bare cell 900, thereby improving the automation level of the entire bare cell testing equipment and reducing reliance on manual operation.
[0152] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the second linear drive unit includes a connecting seat 5121, a mating member 5122, and a driver 5123. The connecting seat 5121 is connected to the output end of the first linear drive unit 511 and has a through groove 51211 extending along the width direction of the bare cell 900. The mating member 5122 passes through the through groove 51211 and one end extends out of the through groove 51211 and is connected to the gripper mounting seat 521. The fixed end of the driver 5123 is disposed on the connecting seat 5121, and the output end of the driver 5123 is connected to the other end of the mating member 5122. Exemplarily, the driver 5123 includes, but is not limited to, a ball screw motor.
[0153] Understandably, the driver 5123 receives instructions from the host computer to drive the mating part 5122 to move along the width direction of the bare cell 900 within the through slot 51211, thereby causing the gripper mounting base 521 to move along the width direction of the bare cell 900. This enables rapid and precise adjustment of the gripper position, improving handling efficiency and shortening the production cycle. Simultaneously, by having the mating part 5122 pass through the through slot 51211, the vertical dimensions of the entire handling mechanism 500 become more compact.
[0154] In some embodiments, such as Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the limiting component includes a first limiting member 531 and a second limiting member 532. The first limiting member 531 is disposed on the gripper connector 522; the second limiting member 532 is disposed on the gripper connector 522, and the first limiting member 531 and the second limiting member 532 respectively protrude from the two sides of the gripper connector 522 that are disposed opposite to each other along the length direction of the bare cell 900.
[0155] It is understandable that the first limiting member 531 and the second limiting member 532 are respectively disposed on both sides of the gripper connector 522 along the length direction of the bare battery cell 900, so that when the gripper assembly 520 moves, it will contact the bare battery cell 900 and other components first, thereby protecting the bare battery cell 900 and ensuring the stability and safety of the bare battery cell 900 during the handling process.
[0156] In some embodiments, such as Figures 7 to 9 As shown, there are two first limiting members 531, each corresponding to a gripper connector 522, and the first limiting member 531 is located above the second limiting member 532. The second limiting member 532 includes a first connecting segment 5321, a second connecting segment 5322, and a third connecting segment 5323. One end of the first connecting segment 5321 is disposed on the gripper connector 522 and extends along the length direction of the bare cell 900. One end of the second connecting segment 5322 is connected to the other end of the first connecting segment 5321 and extends in the vertical direction. One end of the third connecting segment 5323 is connected to the other end of the second connecting segment 5322 and extends along the width direction of the bare cell 900 to be spaced apart from the end of the bare cell 900.
[0157] Understandably, the two first limiting members 531 are respectively positioned on the two gripper connectors 522 and above the second limiting member 532, thereby avoiding interference with the process of the bare cell 900 entering the clamping space. Simultaneously, the first connecting segment 5321, the second connecting segment 5322, and the third connecting segment 5323, connected sequentially from top to bottom, form the second limiting member 532, and the third connecting segment 5323 is spaced apart from the outer end of the electrode tab, reducing the risk of damage to the bare cell 900 due to operational errors and improving the safety of the bare cell 900.
[0158] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the limiting assembly also includes a second sensing element 533 and two second proximity sensors 534. The second sensing element 533 is disposed on the side of the mating member 5122 away from the driver 5123; the second proximity sensors 534 are disposed on the connecting seat 5121, and the two second proximity sensors 534 are respectively close to the two ends of the through groove 51211. Exemplarily, the second proximity sensors 534 can be electromagnetic, photoelectric, ultrasonic, or other types of sensors, which can sense the presence of the second sensing element 533 and send a position signal to the host computer.
[0159] Understandably, by detecting the position of the current mating part 5122 through the second proximity sensor 534, it is possible to determine whether the movement of the gripper assembly 520 along the width direction of the bare cell 900 has reached its maximum. This helps to avoid collisions between the bare cell 900 and other components, ensuring the stability and safety of the bare cell 900 during handling, while also improving production efficiency and ease of operation.
[0160] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, multiple inspection stations include a first inspection station and a second inspection station. The first inspection station is located on the upper conveyor line, and the second inspection station is located outside the upper conveyor line and close to its end. The main body inspection device includes a first main body inspection mechanism 110a, a moving mechanism 120, a second main body inspection mechanism 110b, and a third main body inspection mechanism. The first main body inspection mechanism 110a is located at the first inspection station and is used to obtain a top surface image of the main body. The fixed end of the moving mechanism 120 is set on the conveyor frame 410 of the conveying mechanism 400, and the output end of the moving mechanism 120 is connected to the first main body inspection mechanism 110a and is used to drive the first main body inspection mechanism 110a to move along a conveying direction perpendicular to the upper conveyor line. The second main body inspection mechanism 110b is set on the conveyor frame 410 and located at the second inspection station and is used to obtain a bottom surface image of the main body. The third main body inspection mechanism is set on the conveyor frame 410 and located at the second inspection station and is used to obtain a side surface image of the main body. The handling mechanism 500 is used to move the bare battery cell 900 from the second inspection station toward or away from the upper conveyor line.
[0161] It is understood that when the transport mechanism 500 clamps the bare battery cell 900 and moves it towards the end near the upper conveyor line, the second main body detection mechanism 110b and the third main body detection mechanism respectively obtain the bottom surface image and the side surface image of the main body; then the transport mechanism 500 transfers the bare battery cell 900 onto the carrier 450, and the moving mechanism 120 drives the first main body detection mechanism 110a to move along the conveying direction, and the first main body detection mechanism 110a obtains the top surface image of the main body. Exemplarily, the moving mechanism 120 includes, but is not limited to, a lead screw module.
[0162] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, both the first main body detection mechanism 110a and the second main body detection mechanism 110b include a detection frame 111, a first light source 112, two second light sources 113, and a first camera assembly 114. The detection frame 111 has multiple first mounting positions, multiple second mounting positions, and multiple third mounting positions. The first light source 112 is installed at one of the multiple first mounting positions. The two second light sources 113 are installed at two of the multiple second mounting positions, and the light emitted by the first light source 112 and the two second light sources 113 converges on a straight line. The first camera assembly 114 is installed at one of the multiple third mounting positions, and the first light source 112 is located between the first camera assembly 114 and the main body.
[0163] The first light source 112 is adjustablely mounted on the inspection frame 111; the second light source 113 is adjustablely mounted on the inspection frame 111 and is located on the same side of the main body along the vertical direction as the first light source 112, with the first light source 112 located between the two second light sources 113, so that the light emitted by the first light source 112 and the two second light sources 113 converges on a straight line; the first camera assembly 114 is adjustablely mounted on the inspection frame 111.
[0164] It is understood that the inspection frame 111 serves to fix the first light source 112, the second light source 113, and the first camera assembly 114. The first light source 112 and the second light source 113 are both mounted on the inspection frame 111 in adjustable positions, which facilitates the adaptation to the illumination range required for the inspection of bare battery cells 900 of different sizes. The first light source 112 and the second light source 113 are located on the same side of the main body and all the light rays converge on a straight line, which can provide more uniform illumination, reduce shadow and highlight areas, and show as many minor defects such as scratches or dents on the surface of the bare battery cell 900 as possible. This makes the features in the image obtained by the first camera assembly 114 (including at least one of the top surface image and the bottom surface image of the main body) more obvious, thereby improving the inspection efficiency, inspection accuracy, and automation level.
[0165] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, both the first main body detection mechanism 110a and the second main body detection mechanism 110b further include a first support plate and at least one first fixing member 115. A first light source 112 is disposed on the first support plate. One of the detection frame 111 and the first support plate forms at least one first sliding groove 1111, which extends in a vertical direction. The other of the detection frame 111 and the first support plate forms a plurality of first mounting holes. Each first sliding groove 1111 corresponds to at least one first fixing member 115, and one end of the first fixing member 115 passes through the corresponding first sliding groove 1111 and is threadedly connected to the first mounting hole. Exemplarily, the first fixing member 115 includes, but is not limited to, screws.
[0166] It is understood that by using different first mounting holes and first sliding grooves 1111 to match, the height of the first light source 112 can be adjusted to meet the testing requirements of bare battery cells 900 of different sizes, thereby improving the response speed and operating efficiency of the first main testing mechanism 110a and the second main testing mechanism 110b. It should be noted that the number and size of the first sliding grooves 1111 and the first mounting holes can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.
[0167] In this embodiment, as Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the first mounting hole is provided on the first support plate, the first slide groove 1111 is provided on the testing frame 111, and two first slide grooves 1111 are respectively provided on both sides of the testing frame 111.
[0168] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the testing frame 111 is provided with a first scale line, which is close to the first slide groove 1111 and extends in the vertical direction, so as to accurately and quickly adjust the vertical position of the first light source 112, realize the standardized testing process, and improve the testing efficiency and ease of operation.
[0169] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the detection frame 111 forms a second slide groove 1112 and a third slide groove 1113 spaced apart. The extension directions of the second slide groove 1112 and the third slide groove 1113 are parallel, and the extension direction of the second slide groove 1112 is set at an acute angle to the vertical direction. The first main detection mechanism 110a and the second main detection mechanism 110b both include a first rotating shaft 1131, a first positioning member 116, and a plurality of second fixing members 117. One end of the first rotating shaft 1131 is connected to the second light source 113, and the other end of the first rotating shaft 1131 is slidably hinged to the second slide groove 1112. The first positioning member 116 is sleeved on the first rotating shaft 1131 and forms a plurality of second mounting holes. The third slide groove 1113 corresponds to at least one second fixing member 117, and one end of the second fixing member 117 passes through the corresponding third slide groove 1113 and is connected to the second mounting hole.
[0170] It is understandable that the second slide 1112 and the third slide 1113 are set at acute angles to the vertical direction, thereby enabling multi-directional adjustment of the second light source 113 within a small space. At the same time, since the second light source 113 is slidably hinged relative to the second slide 1112 through the first rotating shaft 1131, the angle of the second light source 113 can be adjusted. The second fixing member 117 passes through the third slide 1113 and the second mounting hole in sequence to connect with the second light source 113, thereby fixing the current position of the second light source 113. This provides a flexible, stable and easy-to-maintain adjustment method for the second light source 113, improving the efficiency and accuracy of subject detection.
[0171] In this embodiment, as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, each of the second light sources 113 has a first rotating shaft 1131 on both sides of its opposite arrangement. The first positioning member 116, the second slide groove 1112 and the first rotating shaft 1131 correspond one-to-one. Each of the second slide grooves 1112 has two third slide grooves 1113 on both sides to ensure that the second light source 113 can stably maintain its current position after adjustment.
[0172] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the surface of the first positioning member 116 near the second slide groove 1112 is provided with circumferential scale lines, which facilitates quick and accurate adjustment of the angle of the second light source 113, realizes a standardized testing process, and improves testing efficiency and ease of operation.
[0173] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the surface of the testing frame 111 near the third slide 1113 is provided with a second scale line. The extension direction of the second scale line is parallel to the extension direction of the third slide 1113, which facilitates the quick and accurate adjustment of the vertical and horizontal positions of the second light source 113, realizes a standardized testing process, and improves testing efficiency and ease of operation.
[0174] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 As shown, the testing frame 111 forms a fourth slide groove 1114 that corresponds one-to-one with the first positioning member 116. The extension direction of the fourth slide groove 1114 is parallel to the extension direction of the second slide groove 1112. The second slide groove 1112 and the third slide groove 1113 are both located at the bottom of the fourth slide groove 1114. The outer wall of the first positioning member 116 and the inner wall of the fourth slide groove 1114 are in contact.
[0175] It is understood that the testing frame 111 includes two opposing side plates, and the second light source 113 is located between the two side plates. The side plates that are close to each other form a fourth slide groove 1114 for accommodating the first positioning member 116, thereby ensuring that the first positioning member 116 can slide smoothly in the fourth slide groove 1114 during the adjustment of the second light source 113, thus achieving the stability of the second light source 113 during the adjustment process.
[0176] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, both the first main body detection mechanism 110a and the second main body detection mechanism 110b further include a second support plate and at least one third fixing member. The first camera assembly 114 is disposed on the second support plate. One of the detection frame 111 and the second support plate forms at least one fifth slide groove 1115, which extends in the vertical direction. The other of the detection frame 111 and the second support plate forms a plurality of third mounting holes. Each fifth slide groove 1115 corresponds to at least one third fixing member, and one end of the third fixing member passes through the corresponding fifth slide groove 1115 and is threadedly connected to the third mounting hole. Exemplarily, the first camera assembly 114 includes, but is not limited to, a camera and a lens.
[0177] It is understood that by using different third mounting holes and fifth sliding grooves 1115, the height of the first camera assembly 114 can be adjusted to meet the testing requirements of bare battery cells 900 of different sizes, thereby improving the response speed and operational efficiency of the first main testing mechanism 110a and the second main testing mechanism 110b. It should be noted that the number and size of the fifth sliding groove 1115 and the third mounting holes can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.
[0178] In this embodiment, as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the third mounting hole is provided on the second support plate, the fifth slide groove 1115 is provided on the testing frame 111, and two fifth slide grooves 1115 are provided on both sides of the testing frame 111.
[0179] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the inspection frame 111 is provided with a third scale line, which is close to the fifth slide groove 1115 and extends in the vertical direction, so as to accurately and quickly adjust the vertical position of the first camera assembly 114, realize the standardized inspection process, and improve the inspection efficiency and ease of operation.
[0180] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, both the first main body detection mechanism 110a and the second main body detection mechanism 110b also include a protective cover 118. The protective cover 118 is disposed on the detection frame 111. In the vertical direction, the projection of the protective cover 118 and the projection of the detection frame 111 together form a closed structure. The projections of the first light source 112, the second light source 113, and the first camera assembly 114 are all located within the closed structure.
[0181] It is understandable that the projection of the protective cover 118 and the projection of the detection frame 111 together form a closed structure. This means that the protective cover 118 completely covers the detection frame 111, forming a sealed space, which in turn protects the first camera assembly 114, the first light source 112 and the second light source 113, reducing the possibility of accidental touch or operation.
[0182] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, both the first main detection mechanism 110a and the second main detection mechanism 110b further include a dust removal structure 119. The dust removal structure 119 is disposed on the detection frame 111, thereby reducing the contamination of the first light source 112, the second light source 113, and the first camera assembly 114 by dust and particulate matter, and preventing these contaminants from affecting image quality and detection results. Exemplarily, the dust removal structure 119 includes, but is not limited to, a filter unit, a guide plate, a dust removal component, and a dust discharge component, etc., and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on these.
[0183] In some embodiments, the first light source 112 is a coaxial light source, and the second light source 113 is a strip light source.
[0184] Understandably, the light emitted by the coaxial light source coincides with the lens axis of the first camera assembly 114, illuminating the surface of the object being photographed to reduce shadows and reflections, and to reduce glare caused by light directly reflecting off the camera lens. Combined with a strip light source, this provides a wider illumination area, significantly improving image quality and thus enhancing the accuracy and reliability of the detection results.
[0185] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the third subject detection mechanism includes two opposing third camera components 131, with the second subject detection mechanism located between the two third camera components 131. The two third camera components 131 are respectively used to capture images of both sides of the subject along the width direction to obtain side images of the subject. Exemplarily, the third camera component 131 includes a camera and a lens.
[0186] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the multiple inspection stations also include a third inspection station and a fourth inspection station. The third inspection station is located on the upper conveyor line, and the fourth inspection station is located outside the upper conveyor line and on the side of the second inspection station away from the upper conveyor line. The tab misalignment detection mechanism 200 is located at the fourth inspection station, and the tab surface detection mechanism is set on the conveyor frame 410 and located at the third inspection station.
[0187] Understandably, the third inspection station is located on the upper conveyor line, which facilitates direct inspection of the bare battery cell 900 during transport, improving inspection efficiency and continuity. Specifically, the bare battery cell 900 is held by the transport mechanism 500 and sequentially passes through the second and fourth inspection stations to obtain images of the tab misalignment, the bottom surface of the main body, and the side surface of the main body. Then, the transport mechanism 500 transfers the bare battery cell 900 onto the carrier 450, allowing it to sequentially pass through the first and third inspection stations to obtain images of the top surface of the main body, the side surface of the tab, and the end surface of the tab.
[0188] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12As shown, a second QR code is provided on the bare battery cell 900. The electrode misalignment detection mechanism 200 includes a fixture 210, a second camera assembly 220, a third light source, and a second barcode scanner 230. The fixture 210 is used to support the bare battery cell 900. The second camera assembly 220 is disposed above the fixture 210. The third light source is disposed on the fixture 210 and located below the electrode. The second barcode scanner 230 is disposed above the fixture 210 and is used to scan and identify the second QR code of the bare battery cell 900 placed in the fixture 210.
[0189] Understandably, the handling mechanism 500 places the bare battery cell 900 on the fixture 210, and the third light source is set on the fixture 210 and located below the electrode tab, thereby providing backlight for the electrode tab, enhancing the contrast of the electrode tab outline, and making the judgment of whether the electrode tab is misaligned more accurate; at the same time, the second barcode scanner 230 scans the second QR code on the bare battery cell 900, which can automatically collect the information of the bare battery cell 900, enhance the quality control and traceability of the product, and improve the detection efficiency.
[0190] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the length direction of the bare cell 900 on the fixture 210 is parallel to the length direction of the bare cell on the carrier 450, so as to further reduce the footprint of the entire bare cell testing equipment and make the entire bare cell testing equipment as compact as possible.
[0191] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the electrode surface detection mechanism includes two electrode side detection structures 310 and two electrode end face detection structures 320. The two electrode side detection structures 310 are arranged opposite to each other and are used to photograph the two sides of the electrode that are arranged opposite to each other along the width direction of the bare cell 900. The two electrode end face detection structures 320 are arranged opposite to each other and are used to photograph the end face of the electrode that is away from the main body.
[0192] It is understood that there are three third inspection stations, which are spaced apart along the conveying direction of the upper conveyor line. Two tab side inspection structures 310 are located at two of the third inspection stations, and two tab end face inspection structures 320 are located on both sides of the other inspection station. That is, the carrier 450 passes through two of the inspection stations in sequence to obtain tab side images corresponding to the two opposite sides of the tabs on both sides of the main body. The carrier 450 passes through the other inspection station to obtain tab end face images corresponding to the end faces of the tabs on both sides of the main body that are away from the main body. This realizes an efficient, comprehensive and automated inspection method, which helps to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the inspection process.
[0193] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the main body is provided with tabs on both sides along its length, that is, two tab end face detection structures 320 need to be provided. Of course, in other embodiments, the number and specific distribution of the tab end face structures can be adjusted according to the arrangement of the tabs, and this embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this.
[0194] In some embodiments, such as Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the electrode side detection structure 310 includes a mounting frame 311 and two opposing first imaging components 312. The mounting frame 311 is disposed on the conveyor frame 410; the first imaging components 312 are disposed on the mounting frame 311 and their installation positions are adjustable along the length direction of the bare cell 900.
[0195] Understandably, the mounting bracket 311 is mounted on the conveyor frame 410 and provides stable support for the first imaging component 312. The mounting position of the first imaging component 312 along the length of the bare cell 900 can be adjusted to accommodate bare cells 900 of different lengths, ensuring that the first imaging component 312 can be correctly aligned with the side of the electrode tab for imaging.
[0196] In some embodiments, such as Figure 14 As shown, the first imaging component 312 includes a first connector 3121, a prism 3122, a first imaging unit 3123, and two fourth light sources 3124 located on opposite sides of the bare battery cell 900 along the vertical direction. The first connector 3121 is adjustablely mounted on the mounting frame 311 along the length of the bare battery cell 900. The prism 3122 is mounted on the first connector 3121, and its mounting position along the width of the bare battery cell 900 is adjustable, as is the angle between the prism 3122 and the bare battery cell 900. The first imaging unit 3123 is adjustablely mounted on the mounting frame 311. The two fourth light sources 3124 are respectively mounted on the mounting frame 311 and the first connector 3121, and both their mounting position and angle are adjustable. For example, the first imaging unit 3123 may include, but is not limited to, a camera and a lens.
[0197] Understandably, the fourth light source 3124 illuminates the tab, and the image of the tab is projected onto the first imaging unit 3123 via the prism 3122 to obtain a side image of the tab. Simultaneously, the mounting positions of the first connector 3121, prism 3122, fourth light source 3124, and first imaging unit 3123 are all adjustable, and the angles of the prism 3122 and fourth light source 3124 are also adjustable, providing flexible light reflection and adjustment capabilities to adapt to different detection angle requirements while improving image quality.
[0198] It should be noted that the adjustable mounting positions of the first connector 3121, prism 3122, fourth light source 3124, and first imaging unit 3123 can be achieved by using a similar elongated groove and different mounting holes as described above; this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this. Similarly, the adjustable angles of the prism 3122 and the fourth light source 3124 can also be achieved by using a rotating base and a locking component; this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this either.
[0199] Similarly, such as Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, length scale lines are set on the slide groove, and circumferential scale lines are set on the rotating base to meet the high requirements for accuracy and flexibility in the testing process of bare cells of different sizes.
[0200] In some embodiments, one of the two fourth light sources 3124 is a strip light source and the other is a ring light source, which can provide illumination from different angles and directions to ensure that the sides of the electrode are adequately illuminated, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the detection.
[0201] In some embodiments, such as Figure 15 As shown, the tab end face detection structure 320 includes a fixing frame 321 and two second imaging components spaced apart along the vertical direction. The second imaging components are arbitrarily positioned on the fixing frame 321, thereby providing flexible and accurate detection capabilities to meet the high requirements of bare cell 900 tab end face detection, thus improving the accuracy and reliability of the detection.
[0202] In some embodiments, such as Figure 15 As shown, the second imaging assembly includes a second connector 3221, a second imaging unit 3222, and a fifth light source 3223. The second connector 3221 is height-adjustable and adjustable along the length of the bare battery cell 900, mounted on the mounting bracket 321. The second imaging unit 3222 is angle-adjustable mounted on the second connector 3221. The fifth light source 3223 is angle-adjustable mounted on the connector and located on the side of the second imaging unit 3222 closer to the bare battery cell 900. Exemplarily, the second imaging unit 3222 includes, but is not limited to, a camera and a lens.
[0203] Understandably, the fifth light source 3223 illuminates the tab and obtains an image of the tab end face through the second imaging unit 3222. Simultaneously, the height of the second connector 3221 and its length along the bare cell 900 are adjustable, and the angles of the fifth light source 3223 and the second imaging unit 3222 are adjustable, providing flexible light reflection and adjustment capabilities to adapt to different detection angle requirements while improving imaging quality.
[0204] It should be noted that the height adjustment and position adjustment along the length of the bare battery cell 900 of the second connector 3221 can be achieved by using a similar elongated groove and different mounting holes as described above, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this. Similarly, the angle adjustment of the second imaging unit 3222 and the fifth light source 3223 can also be achieved by using a rotating base and a locking component, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.
[0205] Similarly, such as Figure 15 As shown, length scale lines are set on the slide groove, and circumferential scale lines are set on the rotating base to meet the high requirements for accuracy and flexibility in the testing process of bare cells of different sizes.
