DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical scheme of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the embodiments of the present application and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0020] The terms "first", "second", and the like in the description and in the claims of the present application are used for distinguishing between similar objects and not necessarily for describing a specific sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the use of these terms herein is merely for distinguishing between the objects and the terms first, second, etc. have the meaning explicitly associated with them in the context of the patent claim. The aggregate "first" or "second" etc. can refer to several objects irrespective of their number. By way of example, a first object can be one of two or more objects, and a second object can be one of the two or more objects.

[0021] The technical solutions disclosed by the various embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] In the related art, in order to improve the capacity of the battery, a battery with a multi-cell structure is often used, multiple cells are arranged side by side and fixed by a cell mounting frame. In order to improve the stability of the assembly between the cells, a label paper is wrapped outside the cell and the mounting frame, and the label paper is adhered to the surface of the cell and the mounting frame by a glue layer.

[0023] For the above-mentioned battery with a multi-cell structure, the battery includes a first surface, a second surface and multiple side surfaces, the first surface and the second surface are arranged opposite to each other and connected by the multiple side surfaces, the number of the side surfaces is determined by the shape of the battery, for example, the battery is rectangular, and the number of the side surfaces is four.

[0024] In the actual process, the operator will first attach the label paper to the first surface of the battery, the edge area of the label paper will protrude out of the first surface, at this time, the operator needs to fold the edge area of the label paper towards the second surface of the battery, and further attach the edge area of the label paper to the side surface and the second surface of the battery. In this process, the operator needs to apply a certain pulling force to pull the edge area of the label paper to the side surface and the second surface of the battery. Since the pulling force and the pulling direction are difficult to control when pulled manually, this leads to the problem of poor consistency in the labeling process of the battery, and even causes the deformation of the cell mounting frame and the abnormal size of the battery.

[0025] Based on the above problems, please refer to Figures 1 to 5The application discloses a label wrapping device for a battery 150, which comprises a base 110, a positioning mechanism 120 and a label pressing mechanism 130. The base 110 has a mounting surface 111 for carrying the positioning mechanism 120 and the label pressing mechanism 130. The positioning mechanism 120 is arranged on the mounting surface 111 and can be directly connected with the base 110, so that the positioning mechanism 120 is stably supported by the base 110. Alternatively, the positioning mechanism 120 can be suspended on the mounting surface 111 through a support structure. In this case, the positioning mechanism 120 is positioned and installed through a separate support structure and is not directly connected with the base 110. The positioning mechanism 120 has a containing space for placing the battery 150. The containing space is used for limiting cooperation with a first surface and at least one side surface of the battery 150, so that the battery 150 can be positioned on a preset position of the mounting surface 111. The positioning mechanism 120 can comprise a positioning groove, a protruding positioning block or the like, and the positioning groove or the positioning block can surround the containing space.

[0026] A first direction is defined as parallel to the mounting surface 111. The label pressing mechanism 130 comprises a pressing plate 131 which is slidingly connected with the mounting surface 111. A sliding rail mechanism, a pulley mechanism or the like can be arranged between the pressing plate 131 and the mounting surface 111, so as to realize the sliding connection between the pressing plate 131 and the mounting surface 111. The pressing plate 131 can move towards or away from the containing space along the first direction. When the battery 150 is placed in the containing space, the pressing plate 131 can attach a label paper to a second surface of the battery 150.

[0027] In combination with the specific process steps, first, the label paper can be attached to the first surface of the battery 150 by manual or automatic means, since the label paper needs to be wrapped to the second surface of the battery 150, the edge area of the label paper will protrude from the first surface. Then the battery 150 attached with the label paper is placed in the accommodating space of the positioning mechanism 120, at this time, the first surface of the battery 150 is close to the mounting surface 111 of the base 110, the second surface of the battery 150 is away from the mounting surface 111 of the base 110, and the edge area of the label paper will also be bent away from the base 110 under the action of the positioning mechanism 120. Finally, the edge area of the label paper can be further bent to the second surface of the battery 150 by using the pressing plate 131, in the case that the pressing plate 131 is close to the positioning mechanism 120 along the first direction, the lower surface of the pressing plate 131 will press the bent edge area of the label paper to the second surface of the battery 150, after the label paper is attached, the pressing plate 131 can be away from the positioning mechanism 120 along the first direction, so that the battery 150 can be taken out from the accommodating space of the positioning mechanism 120, that is, the whole labeling process can be completed. It should be noted that the lower surface of the pressing plate 131 is the surface on the side close to the positioning mechanism 120 when the pressing plate 131 runs above the positioning mechanism 120.

[0028] The power source for the movement of the pressing plate 131 along the first direction can be a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, etc. Since the moving speed and direction of the pressing plate 131 along the first direction are controllable, the pressure and direction of the pressing plate 131 on each label paper to be attached are basically consistent, so the battery 150 after completing the labeling process can maintain good consistency. Moreover, the appropriate pressure of the pressing plate 131 can be selected according to multiple tests, so that the pressing plate 131 can successfully attach the label paper to the second surface of the battery 150 without causing the size shrinkage of the battery 150, thereby reducing the probability of size abnormality of the battery 150.

[0029] As described above, the labeling jig disclosed in the embodiments of the present application improves the related art, by setting the positioning mechanism 120 and the labeling mechanism 130 on the mounting surface 111 of the base 110, which can replace the manual labeling method in the related art. Since the operation force and direction of the pressing plate 131 of the labeling mechanism 130 are basically consistent each time, the consistency of the labeling process of the battery 150 can be improved, and the yield rate and production efficiency of the battery 150 in the production process can be improved.

[0030] As Figures 1 to 4As shown, the positioning mechanism 120 can include a carrier 121 arranged above the mounting surface 111, and a limiting groove 122 is formed on the side of the carrier 121 away from the mounting surface 111, the groove wall of the limiting groove 122 encloses the accommodating space described above, and the limiting groove 122 can be used to accommodate at least part of the battery 150, in the case of placing the battery 150 in the limiting groove 122, the groove wall and the groove bottom of the limiting groove 122 can be limitedly matched with the side surface and the first surface of the battery 150 respectively, so that the battery 150 can be fixed on the preset position of the base 110, and in the case that the first surface of the battery 150 is attached with a label paper, only a certain pressure is applied to the battery 150 during the process of placing the battery 150 in the limiting groove 122, and the edge area of the label paper can be bent by the groove wall of the limiting groove 122.

[0031] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 5 The positioning mechanism 120 can also include a first driving member 123, which can be a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, etc., and the first driving member 123 can be arranged below the base 110, and the base 110 is provided with a through hole, and the output end of the first driving member 123 can pass through the through hole and be connected with the carrier 121, specifically connected with the side of the carrier 121 close to the mounting surface 111. A second direction is defined as perpendicular to the mounting surface 111 of the base 110, and the output end of the first driving member 123 can move in the second direction, so as to drive the carrier 121 to move in the second direction. When the labeling jig performs labeling process on different specifications of batteries 150, since different specifications of batteries 150 also have certain differences in thickness, the first driving member 123 can be used to control the carrier 121 to move in the second direction, so as to adapt to different thickness specifications of the battery 150, thereby improving the adaptation range of the labeling jig.

[0032] Since the pressing plate 131 moves above the limiting groove 122, in order to avoid that the second surface of the battery 150 is lower than the groove wall of the limiting groove 122, so that the pressing plate 131 cannot contact the second surface of the battery 150, along the second direction, the depth of the limiting groove 122 is less than or equal to the thickness of the battery 150, so that in the case of placing the battery 150 in the limiting groove 122, the second surface of the battery 150 is always higher than the groove wall of the limiting groove 122, so that the pressing plate 131 can stably contact the second surface of the battery 150, thereby improving the reliability of the label paper attachment.

[0033] As shown in Figures 1 to 4As shown, considering that the label paper can be bent and extended from multiple sides of the battery 150, the labeling mechanism 130 can include multiple pressing plates 131, which are arranged around the circumferential side of the carrier 121, and can respectively attach the label paper to different positions of the second surface of the battery 150 from different directions, so as to enable the label paper to cover at least part of the second surface of the battery 150. It should be noted that the first direction is not limited to a certain direction, and can be multiple directions parallel to the mounting surface 111, which can be determined according to the corresponding relationship between the multiple pressing plates 131 and the multiple sides of the battery 150.

[0034] As shown in Figure 4 To realize stable sliding of the pressing plate 131, the labeling mechanism 130 can further include multiple sliding assemblies 132, which are arranged at intervals along the circumferential side of the carrier 121. The sliding assembly 132 can specifically include a sliding rail 1321 and a sliding block 1322. The sliding rail 1321 is connected to the mounting surface 111 and is arranged to extend in the first direction. The sliding block 1322 is in sliding connection with the sliding rail 1321, and the pressing plate 131 is correspondingly connected to the sliding block 1322, so as to realize sliding in the first direction.

[0035] As shown in Figure 4 The labeling mechanism 130 can further include multiple second driving members 133, which can be air cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, etc. The second driving member 133 is arranged on the mounting surface 111 and is correspondingly connected to the pressing plate 131. The second driving member 133 can drive the pressing plate 131 to move in the first direction. Since the operating parameters of the second driving member 133 are controllable, the consistency of the labeling process can be improved.

[0036] As shown in Figure 4 The third direction is defined as being parallel to the mounting surface 111 and perpendicular to the first direction. The second driving member 133 can be provided with the above-mentioned sliding assembly 132 on both sides in the third direction. The two sliding assemblies 132 can stably support the pressing plate 131, so as to improve the stability of the pressing plate 131 during movement.

[0037] In an optional embodiment of the present application, as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the label pressing mechanism 130 can include a first pressing plate 1311, a second pressing plate 1312, a third pressing plate 1313 and a fourth pressing plate 1314, which are arranged along the circumferential side of the carrier 121 and are connected to the mounting surface 111 through corresponding sliding assemblies 132, respectively. Correspondingly, the battery 150 is rectangular in shape and includes a first side, a second side, a third side and a fourth side. The first pressing plate 1311 is arranged opposite to the first side of the battery 150, the second pressing plate 1312 is arranged opposite to the second side of the battery 150, the third pressing plate 1313 is arranged opposite to the third side of the battery 150, and the fourth pressing plate 1314 is arranged opposite to the fourth side of the battery 150. In the case that the label paper is bent from the four sides of the battery 150 and protrudes from the second surface of the battery 150, the four pressing plates 131 can further bend and press the label paper to adhere to the second surface of the battery 150 from the corresponding first direction, respectively.

[0038] In addition, as shown in Figure 1 , Figures 3 to 5 The label wrapping jig can further include a controller 140 electrically connected to the first driving member 123 and the second driving member 133, respectively. The controller 140 can be a single-chip microcomputer controller, a PLC controller or an embedded controller, etc. The controller 140 can control the operating parameters of the first driving member 123 and the second driving member 133, respectively, so as to control the movement parameters of the carrier 121 along the second direction and the movement parameters of the pressing plates 131 along the first direction, so that the components of the label wrapping jig can be well matched.

[0039] The above embodiments of the present application mainly describe the differences between the various embodiments. The technical features that are different between the various embodiments can be combined to form more specific embodiments without contradiction. In view of the brevity of the text, the details are not repeated here.

[0040] The embodiments of the present application are described above in combination with the drawings, but the present application is not limited to the above specific embodiments. The above specific embodiments are only illustrative, not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many forms under the inspiration of the present application without departing from the scope of the present application and the protection scope of the claims.
