Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] During the manufacturing process of batteries, insulating shells, insulating films, and other materials need to be attached to the battery cells, circuit boards, or electrodes to protect them and prevent the risk of leakage or short circuits.

[0003] In related technologies, the process of attaching insulating shells, insulating films, and other materials to batteries is achieved through a battery adhesive application device. This device includes a material pre-positioning mechanism, a material gripping mechanism, and a release paper peeling mechanism. First, the material is fed to the material pre-positioning mechanism and positioned there. Then, the material gripping mechanism picks up the material from the positioning mechanism and moves it to the release paper peeling position. The material gripping mechanism and the release paper peeling mechanism work together to peel off the release paper from the material. Finally, the material gripping mechanism moves the material with the peeled release paper to the bonding position, where it is bonded to the battery cell, circuit board, or electrodes.

[0004] However, in related technologies, the material gripping mechanism can only work at one station at a time, which makes the working cycle of the battery adhesive applicator slow, resulting in slow adhesive applicator efficiency and thus low battery production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model discloses a battery adhesive applicator and battery production equipment to solve the problem of slow adhesive application efficiency in battery adhesive applicators.

[0006] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A battery adhesive applicator, comprising:

[0008] The mounting frame has a material picking position, a release paper tearing position, and an adhesive position;

[0009] The material gripping mechanism includes a robotic arm, a first gripper, and a second gripper. The robotic arm is mounted on the mounting frame. The first gripper and the second gripper are arranged side by side on the robotic arm. The robotic arm can drive the first gripper and the second gripper to switch between the material picking position, the release paper position, and the pasting position. The second gripper is located at the position above the position where the first gripper is located.

[0010] A material prepositioning mechanism is used to position the material fed onto it, and the first gripper and the second gripper are used to grip the material located on the material prepositioning mechanism at the material picking position.

[0011] A release paper tearing mechanism is provided on the mounting frame and is used to tear off the release paper of the material located at the release paper tearing position.

[0012] A battery manufacturing apparatus includes the aforementioned battery adhesive applicator.

[0013] The technical solution adopted in this utility model can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0014] In the battery adhesive applicator disclosed in this utility model, a first gripper and a second gripper are arranged side by side on a robotic arm. The robotic arm can drive the first and second grippers to switch between a material picking position, a release paper peeling position, and an adhesive application position. The second gripper is located at the position above the position where the first gripper is located. In this design, the material gripping mechanism has two grippers, and the second gripper is located at the position above the position where the first gripper is located. That is, when the first gripper is performing a corresponding process at the current position, the second gripper is also performing a corresponding process at the position above the position where the first gripper is located. Therefore, the first and second grippers can perform two different process operations simultaneously. In other words, the material gripping mechanism can perform processing at two different process positions with each movement, thus improving the cycle efficiency of the battery adhesive applicator and achieving high-speed production. This improves the adhesive application efficiency of the battery adhesive applicator, thereby increasing the battery production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0030] The technical solutions disclosed in the various embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 27 As shown in the figure, this utility model discloses a battery adhesive applicator, which is applied in battery production equipment. The battery adhesive applicator is used to perform adhesive application operations on battery cells, circuit boards, or electrodes. For example, it is used to apply insulating shells, insulating films, or other materials 710 to battery cells, circuit boards, or electrodes awaiting adhesive application 720. Another example is the operation of attaching adhesive shells to battery cells to assemble a battery pack. Of course, the battery adhesive applicator can also perform other battery application operations, which are not limited herein. The disclosed battery adhesive applicator includes a mounting frame 100, a material gripping mechanism 200, a material pre-positioning mechanism 300, and a release paper peeling mechanism 400.

[0032] The mounting frame 100 provides a mounting base for other components of the battery bonding device. The mounting frame 100 has a material picking position, a release paper peeling position, and an adhesive application position. The material picking position refers to the station for gripping the material 710, and the release paper peeling position refers to the station for peeling off the release paper from the material 710. Release paper is attached to the adhesive surface of the material 710 to protect the bonding surface. Therefore, the release paper on the adhesive surface of the material 710 needs to be removed before bonding the material. The adhesive application position is the station for bonding the material to the part 720 to be bonded. The material picking position, release paper peeling position, and adhesive application position are the spatial positions of the material during the corresponding processes, not the process mechanisms themselves.

[0033] The material gripping mechanism 200 includes a robotic arm 210, a first gripper 220, and a second gripper 230. The robotic arm 210 is mounted on the mounting frame 100, and the first gripper 220 and the second gripper 230 are arranged side-by-side on the robotic arm 210. The robotic arm 210 simultaneously drives the first gripper 220 and the second gripper 230 to move. The fixed end of the robotic arm 210 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 100, and the driving end of the robotic arm 210 is connected to the first gripper 220 and the second gripper 230. The robotic arm 210 can drive the first gripper 220 and the second gripper 230 to switch between the material picking position, the release liner position, and the pasting position. In other words, both the first gripper 220 and the second gripper 230 can sequentially perform corresponding process operations at the material picking position, the release liner position, and the pasting position. The second gripper 230 is located at the station above the station where the first gripper 220 is located. During operation, the second gripper 230 and the first gripper 220 are not at the same station, but rather at adjacent stations. For example, when the first gripper 220 is picking up material at the material picking station, the second gripper 230 is performing the adhesive application process at the adhesive application station. When the first gripper 220 moves to the release liner position, the second gripper 230 is performing the material picking process at the material picking station.

[0034] The material pre-positioning mechanism 300 is used to position the material fed onto it. The first gripper 220 and the second gripper 230 are used to grip the material on the material pre-positioning mechanism 300 at the picking position. Here, the material is positioned to ensure that the first gripper 220 and the second gripper 230 can accurately grip the material. At this time, the material is fed onto the material pre-positioning mechanism 300, the material pre-positioning mechanism 300 positions the material, and then the first gripper 220 and the second gripper 230 grip the positioned material at the picking position.

[0035] The release paper tearing mechanism 400 is mounted on the mounting frame 100 and is used to tear off the release paper of the material located at the release paper tearing position.

[0036] In the specific operation process, material 710 is fed onto the material pre-positioning mechanism 300, which pre-positions the material. The robotic arm 210 drives the first gripper 220 and the second gripper 230 to move. During the initial operation, the first gripper 220 moves to the material-grabbing position and grabs the material from the material pre-positioning mechanism 300. At this time, the second gripper 230 can be positioned at the pasting position. Since the second gripper 230 has not yet performed any material grabbing, it does not perform any processing. After the first gripper 220 finishes grabbing the material, the robotic arm 210 drives the first gripper 220 and the second gripper 230 to move. The first gripper 220 moves to the release paper position, where the material being grabbed is peeled off, while the second gripper 230 moves to the material-grabbing position to perform the material-grabbing operation. Then, the robotic arm 210 continues to drive the first gripper 220 and the second gripper 230 to move. The first gripper 220 moves to the pasting position, while the second gripper 230 moves to the release paper position, where the material gripped by the second gripper 230 undergoes a release paper peeling operation. After the material initially gripped by the first gripper 220 completes the pasting operation, the robotic arm 210 continues to drive the first gripper 220 and the second gripper 230 to move. At this time, the first gripper 220 returns to the material picking position to pick up material, while the second gripper 230 enters the pasting position, and then the cycle repeats to perform the battery pasting operation.

[0037] In the embodiments disclosed in this application, the material gripping mechanism 200 is provided with two gripping members, and the second gripping member 230 is located at the station above the station where the first gripping member 220 is located. That is, when the first gripping member 220 is performing a corresponding process at the current station, the second gripping member 230 is also performing a corresponding process at the station above the station where the first gripping member 220 is located. Therefore, the first gripping member 220 and the second gripping member 230 can perform two different process operations simultaneously. In other words, the material gripping mechanism 200 can perform processing at two different process positions with each action, thereby improving the cycle efficiency of the battery adhesive applicator and realizing high-speed production of the battery adhesive applicator. Thus, the adhesive applicator efficiency of the battery adhesive applicator is improved, thereby improving the battery production efficiency.

[0038] In the above scheme, the material pre-positioning mechanism 300 can be equipped with a positioning fixture 330, which can position the material through positioning holes, positioning shafts, and other positioning structures. In this case, since the material pre-positioning mechanism 300 has only one positioning fixture 330, the loading position and the unloading position can be the same location.

[0039] In another optional embodiment, the material pre-positioning mechanism 300 may include a turntable 310, a turntable drive source 320, and a plurality of positioning fixtures 330. The turntable drive source 320 is mounted on the mounting frame 100, and the plurality of positioning fixtures 330 are mounted on the turntable 310 and arranged at intervals along the circumference of the turntable 310. The turntable drive source 320 is connected to the turntable 310 and can drive the turntable 310 to rotate around the central axis of the turntable 310, so that the plurality of positioning fixtures 330 sequentially switch between the loading position and the unloading position. The positioning fixtures 330 are used to perform positioning operations on the material. The first gripper 220 and the second gripper 230 are used to grip the material located on the positioning fixture 330 at the unloading position.

[0040] In the specific operation, the material pre-positioning mechanism 300 has multiple positioning fixtures 330. The turntable drive source 320 can drive the multiple positioning fixtures 330 to rotate and switch through the turntable 310. At this time, the material is fed onto the positioning fixture 330 at the feeding position, which positions the material. Then, the turntable 310 rotates, and the positioning fixture 330 at the feeding position rotates to the picking position. Then, the positioning fixture 330 at the picking position where the material has been picked up rotates back to the feeding position. Of course, in order to improve cycle efficiency, an idle position can also be set. That is, after feeding is completed, the mechanism first rotates to the idle position, passes through the idle position, and then rotates to the picking position.

[0041] In this scheme, by setting multiple positioning fixtures 330, the efficiency of feeding and picking up materials can be improved, thereby matching the rhythm of the double-clamping mechanism 200, and further improving the adhesive application efficiency of the battery adhesive application device.

[0042] This application discloses a specific structure of a positioning fixture 330. Of course, the positioning fixture 330 can also have other structures, which are not limited herein. Specifically, the positioning fixture 330 may include a mounting base 331, a reference positioning block 332, a transverse positioning block 333, a longitudinal positioning block 334, a first elastic element 335, and a second elastic element 336. The mounting base 331 provides a mounting foundation for the other components of the positioning fixture 330 and also serves to connect the positioning fixture 330 to the turntable 310. The mounting base 331 is fixedly connected to the turntable 310. The mounting base 331 and the turntable 310 can be fixedly connected by bolts, rivets, clips, or other components. The reference positioning block 332, the lateral positioning block 333, and the longitudinal positioning block 334 are all located on the same side surface of the mounting substrate 331. The lateral positioning block 333 and the longitudinal positioning block 334 are located on adjacent sides of the mounting substrate 331, and the reference positioning block 332, the lateral positioning block 333, and the longitudinal positioning block 334 together form a positioning space. It can be understood that the reference positioning block 332 has a first side and a second side arranged adjacent to each other, the lateral positioning block 333 can be located on the first side of the reference positioning block 332, and the longitudinal positioning block 334 can be located on the second side of the reference positioning block 332.

[0043] The reference positioning block 332 can be fixedly connected to the mounting base plate 331; the lateral positioning block 333 is movably connected to the mounting base plate 331 via a first elastic member 335, which can drive the lateral positioning block 333 to move in the direction toward the reference positioning block 332. The longitudinal positioning block 334 can be movably connected to the mounting base plate 331 via a second elastic member 336, which can drive the longitudinal positioning block 334 to move in the direction toward the reference positioning block 332. The extension / retraction direction of the first elastic member 335 intersects with the extension / retraction direction of the second elastic member 336.

[0044] In the specific operation process, the first elastic element 335 and the second elastic element 336 are first compressed, causing the lateral positioning block 333 to move away from the reference positioning block 332 and the longitudinal positioning block 334 to move away from the reference positioning block 332, thus opening the positioning space. Then, the material is placed into the opened positioning space. Finally, the force on the first elastic element 335 and the second elastic element 336 is removed, causing the lateral positioning block 333 to move closer to the reference positioning block 332 and the longitudinal positioning block 334 to move closer to the reference positioning block 332. At this time, the lateral positioning block 333 and the longitudinal positioning block 334 push the material towards the reference positioning block 332 from two directions until it resists the reference positioning block 332, thereby completing the positioning of the material.

[0045] In this solution, the material positioning operation is simple and the positioning accuracy is high, which can further improve the positioning accuracy of the material and is more conducive to improving the accuracy of the mounting.

[0046] In the above scheme, the elastic extension direction of the first elastic element 335 can be along the radial direction of the turntable 310, and the elastic extension direction of the second elastic element 336 can be along the tangential direction of the edge of the turntable 310. Of course, the elastic extension directions of the first elastic element 335 and the second elastic element 336 can also be other directions, which are not limited in this paper.

[0047] To improve the movement accuracy of the transverse positioning block 333 and the longitudinal positioning block 334, in another optional embodiment, the positioning fixture 330 further includes a first guide portion 337 and a second guide portion 338. The first guide portion 337 guides and engages with the transverse positioning block 333 along the extension and retraction direction of the first elastic member 335. The second guide portion 338 guides and engages with the longitudinal positioning block 334 along the extension and retraction direction of the second elastic member 336. This embodiment can improve the movement accuracy of the transverse positioning block 333 and the longitudinal positioning block 334, thereby avoiding the risk of material tilting and misalignment.

[0048] In the above scheme, the first guide part 337 and the second guide part 338 can be guide rods, guide rails or other guide structures, and the transverse positioning block 333 and the longitudinal positioning block 334 can slide with the guide rods, guide rails or other guide structures.

[0049] In another alternative embodiment, the first guide portion 337 may include a first guide rod 3371, a first guide rail 3372, and a first slider 3373. Both the first guide rod 3371 and the first guide rail 3372 can be fixedly connected to the mounting base plate 331, and the first slider 3373 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 3372. The extension directions of both the first guide rod 3371 and the first guide rail 3372 can be parallel to the extension and retraction direction of the first elastic member 335. A transverse positioning block 333 can be fitted onto the first guide rod 3371, and the transverse positioning block 333 can slide in cooperation with the first guide rod 3371. This can be understood as the transverse positioning block 333 having a guide hole through which the first guide rod 2264 passes and slides in cooperation. The transverse positioning block 333 can be fixedly connected to the first slider 3373.

[0050] In this design, the first guide part 337 includes a first guide rod 3371 and a first guide rail 3372. Through the dual guiding effect of the first guide rod 3371 and the first guide rail 3372, the movement accuracy of the lateral positioning block 333 can be further improved.

[0051] Similarly, the positioning fixture 330 may also include a second guide portion 338, which may include a second guide rod 3381, a second guide rail 3382, and a second slider 3383. Both the second guide rod 3381 and the second guide rail 3382 can be fixedly connected to the mounting base plate 331, and the second slider 3383 can be slidably connected to the second guide rail 3382. The extension directions of the second guide rod 3381 and the second guide rail 3382 are parallel to the extension and retraction directions of the second elastic member 336. A longitudinal positioning block 334 can be fitted onto the second guide rod 3381, and the longitudinal positioning block 334 can slide with the second guide rod 3381. The longitudinal positioning block 334 can also be fixedly connected to the second slider 3383. In this design, the second guide portion 338 includes a second guide rod 3381 and a second guide rail 3382. Through the dual guiding effect of the second guide rod 3381 and the second guide rail 3382, the movement accuracy of the longitudinal positioning block 334 can be further improved.

[0052] In another alternative embodiment, the material pre-positioning mechanism 300 may further include a first positioning block drive source 340 and a second positioning block drive source 350. The first positioning block drive source 340 can be used to drive the transverse positioning block 333 and the longitudinal positioning block 334 of the positioning fixture 330 located at the loading position to move in a direction away from the reference positioning block 332. This can be understood as the first positioning block drive source 340 being located at the loading position. When the positioning fixture 330 rotates to the loading position, the first positioning block drive source 340 cooperates with the transverse positioning block 333 and the longitudinal positioning block 334 of the positioning fixture 330 at the loading position. Therefore, the first positioning block drive source 340 can drive the transverse positioning block 333 and the longitudinal positioning block 334 to move in a direction away from the reference positioning block 332, thereby achieving positioning space locking. When the first positioning block drive source 340 removes the force applied to the transverse positioning block 333 and the longitudinal positioning block 334, the first elastic element 335 can drive the transverse positioning block 333 to move in the direction toward the reference positioning block 332, while the second elastic element 336 can drive the longitudinal positioning block 334 to move in the direction toward the reference positioning block 332.

[0053] The second positioning block drive source 350 can be used to drive the transverse positioning block 333 and the longitudinal positioning block 334 of the positioning fixture 330 located at the material picking position to move in a direction away from the reference positioning block 332. This can be understood as the second positioning block drive source 350 being located at the material picking position. When the positioning fixture 330 rotates to the material picking position, the second positioning block drive source 350 cooperates with the transverse positioning block 333 and the longitudinal positioning block 334 of the positioning fixture 330 at the material picking position. Therefore, the second positioning block drive source 350 can drive the transverse positioning block 333 and the longitudinal positioning block 334 to move in a direction away from the reference positioning block 332, thereby opening the positioning space. When the second positioning block drive source 350 removes the force applied to the transverse positioning block 333 and the longitudinal positioning block 334, the first elastic element 335 can drive the transverse positioning block 333 to move in a direction toward the reference positioning block 332, and the second elastic element 336 can drive the longitudinal positioning block 334 to move in a direction toward the reference positioning block 332.

[0054] In this scheme, the positioning space can be automatically opened by the first positioning block drive source 340 and the second positioning block drive source 350, thus eliminating the need for manual intervention and improving the automation performance of the material pre-positioning mechanism 300.

[0055] In the above scheme, the first positioning block drive source 340 and the second positioning block drive source 350 can each include two cylinders with different extension and retraction directions, one cylinder is used to drive the transverse positioning block 333 and the other cylinder is used to drive the longitudinal positioning block 334.

[0056] In another optional embodiment, both the first positioning block drive source 340 and the second positioning block drive source 350 may include a first power source 341, a first roller 342 and a second roller 343. The extension and retraction direction of the drive end of the first power source 341 may be parallel to the axial direction of the turntable 310. Both the first roller 342 and the second roller 343 may be rotatably connected to the drive end of the first power source 341.

[0057] The lateral positioning block 333 may have a first guide slope 3332a, and the longitudinal positioning block 334 may have a second guide slope 3342a. The first roller 342 may roll in contact with the first guide slope 3332a, and the second roller 343 may roll in contact with the second guide slope 3342a. The first power source 341 may drive the lateral positioning block 333 and the longitudinal positioning block 334 to move in a direction away from the reference positioning block 332 via the first roller 342 and the second roller 343.

[0058] In the specific operation process, the driving end of the first power source 341 moves vertically. When the first guide slope 3332a contacts the first roller 342, the first guide slope 3332a can provide separation for the first roller 342 in two directions: vertically upward and horizontally. The horizontal separation can drive the lateral positioning block 333 to move. Similarly, when the second guide slope 3342a contacts the second roller 343, the second guide slope 3342a can provide separation for the second roller 343 in two directions: vertically upward and horizontally. The horizontal separation can drive the longitudinal positioning block 334 to move.

[0059] In this scheme, the longitudinal positioning block 334 and the transverse positioning block 333 can be driven horizontally simultaneously without changing the installation position of the first power source 341 by using rollers and guide ramps, thereby simplifying the structure of the first positioning block drive source 340 and the second positioning block drive source 350.

[0060] Optionally, both the first power source 341 and the second power source 2261 can be structures such as cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, and linear motors.

[0061] In the above scheme, the first positioning block drive source 340 and the second positioning block drive source 350 can both be located on the side of the mounting substrate 331 away from the reference positioning block 332. At this time, the lower surface of the horizontal positioning block 333 and the vertical positioning block 334 needs to be set around the upper surface of the mounting substrate 331, which makes the structure of the horizontal positioning block 333 and the vertical positioning block 334 more difficult.

[0062] Based on this, in another alternative embodiment, the lateral positioning block 333 may include a first main body portion 3331 and a first guide block 3332 connected to each other. The first main body portion 3331 may be disposed opposite to the reference positioning block 332. The mounting base plate 331 may have a first clearance hole 331a. The end of the first guide block 3332 opposite to the first main body portion 3331 may have a first guide slope 3332a. The end of the first guide block 3332 opposite to the first main body portion 3331 passes through the first clearance hole 331a and is disposed opposite to the first roller 342. The first guide block 3332 may move relative to the first clearance hole 331a along the extension and retraction direction of the first elastic member 335.

[0063] In this design, a first clearance hole 331a is provided on the mounting substrate 331, which facilitates the transverse positioning block 333 to pass through from the upper surface of the mounting substrate 331 to the lower surface of the mounting substrate 331, thereby simplifying the structure of the transverse positioning block 333 and making it more conducive to the processing of the transverse positioning block 333.

[0064] In the above scheme, the lateral positioning block 333 needs to move along the extension and retraction direction of the first elastic member 335. Therefore, the diameter range of the first clearance hole 331a needs to meet the movement requirements of the lateral positioning block 333.

[0065] Similarly, the longitudinal positioning block 334 may include a second main body portion 3341 and a second guide block 3342 connected to each other. The second main body portion 3341 and the transverse positioning block 333 may be located on adjacent sides of the mounting base plate 331, and the mounting base plate 331 may have a second clearance hole 331b. The end of the second guide block 3342 facing away from the second main body portion 3341 may have a second guide slope 3342a. The end of the second guide block 3342 facing away from the second main body portion 3341 may pass through the second clearance hole 331b and be disposed opposite to the second roller 343. The second guide block 3342 may move relative to the second clearance hole 331b along the extension and retraction direction of the second elastic member 336.

[0066] In this design, a second clearance hole 331b is provided on the mounting substrate 331, which facilitates the longitudinal positioning block 334 to pass through from the upper surface of the mounting substrate 331 to the lower surface of the mounting substrate 331, thereby simplifying the structure of the longitudinal positioning block 334 and making it more conducive to the processing of the longitudinal positioning block 334.

[0067] In the above scheme, the longitudinal positioning block 334 needs to move along the extension and retraction direction of the second elastic member 336. Therefore, the diameter range of the second clearance hole 331b needs to meet the movement requirements of the longitudinal positioning block 334.

[0068] In another alternative design, the turntable 310 has multiple first clearance notches 311 along its edge. These first clearance notches 311 can be arranged at intervals along the circumference of the turntable 310, and each first clearance notch 311 can be correspondingly provided with a positioning fixture 330. In this design, each positioning fixture 330 is correspondingly positioned on the corresponding first clearance notch 311, which is more conducive to reducing the stacking size of the positioning fixtures 330 and the turntable 310.

[0069] In the above scheme, the material prepositioning mechanism 300 can also be provided with a corresponding air or electrical circuit structure. Therefore, the material prepositioning mechanism 300 can also include a universal rotary slip ring 360, which can be set on the turntable 310. The universal rotary slip ring 360 can realize the rotational conduction of the air or cable. The specific structure of the universal rotary slip ring 360 is known technology and is not limited in this article.

[0070] The aforementioned turntable drive source 320 can be a drive motor, or of course, other power structures; this article does not impose any restrictions.

[0071] In the above scheme, the first gripper 220 and the second gripper 230 can be an adsorption gripping structure or a gripper gripping mechanism.

[0072] In another optional embodiment, both the first gripper 220 and the second gripper 230 may include a fixed bracket 221, a suction member 222 drive source 226, a first gripper 223, a second gripper 224, and a gripper drive source 225. The fixed bracket 221 is connected to the robotic arm 210. The suction member 222 drive source 226 is disposed on the fixed bracket 221. The first gripper 223 and the second gripper 224 may both be disposed on the fixed bracket 221, and at least one of them may be movable relative to the fixed bracket 221. The suction member 222 drive source 226 may be located between the first gripper 223 and the second gripper 224. The gripper drive source 225 may be disposed on the fixed bracket 221 and may be connected to at least one of the first gripper 223 and the second gripper 224. The gripper drive source 225 may drive at least one of the first gripper 223 and the second gripper 224 to move, so that the first gripper 223 and the second gripper 224 move closer to or further away from each other.

[0073] In this design, the first gripper 220 and the second gripper 230 have both an adsorption gripping mechanism and a clamp gripping mechanism, thus enabling the first gripper 220 and the second gripper 230 to both adsorb and clamp the material, thereby improving the compatibility of the first gripper 220 and the second gripper 230.

[0074] In the above embodiment, the first gripper 223 can be movably connected to the fixed bracket 221, and the second gripper 224 can be fixedly connected to the fixed bracket 221. In this case, the gripper drive source 225 can drive the first gripper 223, thereby causing the first gripper 223 and the second gripper 224 to move closer or further apart. Alternatively, the second gripper 224 can be movably connected to the fixed bracket 221. With the first gripper 223 fixedly connected to the fixed bracket 221, the gripper drive source 225 can drive the second gripper 224, thereby causing the first gripper 223 and the second gripper 224 to move closer or further apart.

[0075] In another embodiment, both the first gripper 223 and the second gripper 224 are movably connected to the fixed bracket 221. In this case, the gripper drive source 225 can simultaneously drive the first gripper 223 and the second gripper 224 to move closer or further apart. The gripper drive source 225 may include two drive sources, one for driving the first gripper 223 and the other for driving the second gripper 224. Alternatively, the gripper drive source 225 may be a two-way pneumatic cylinder or a two-way hydraulic cylinder, which has two sliders, one of which is connected to the first gripper 223 and the other is connected to the second gripper 224.

[0076] In another alternative embodiment, both the first gripper 220 and the second gripper 230 may further include an adsorption element drive source 226. The adsorption element drive source 226 may be disposed on the fixed bracket 221, and the adsorption element 222 may be connected to the adsorption element drive source 226 to drive the adsorption element 222 to move up and down. In this embodiment, the adsorption element drive source 226 can drive the adsorption element 222 to move up and down relative to the first gripper 223 and the second gripper 224, thereby avoiding the risk of interference between the first gripper 223 and the second gripper 224 and the positioning fixture 330.

[0077] Optionally, the adsorption element drive source 226 can be a power structure such as a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or linear motor. Of course, the adsorption element drive source 226 can also be other power structures, which are not limited in this article.

[0078] To avoid rigid collision between the adsorption element drive source 226 and the material, in another optional solution, the adsorption element drive source 226 may include a second power source 2261, a buffer support 2262, and an elastic buffer 2263. The second power source 2261 may be disposed on the fixed support 221, and the driving end of the second power source 2261 may be connected to the buffer support 2262. One end of the elastic buffer 2263 may be connected to the buffer support 2262, and the other end of the elastic buffer 2263 may be connected to the adsorption element drive source 226.

[0079] In this scheme, when the adsorption element drive source 226 drives the adsorption element 222 to descend and adsorb the material, the reaction force of the material on the adsorption element 222 when the adsorption element 222 comes into contact with the material is absorbed by the elastic buffer 2263, thereby avoiding the risk of material damage. Therefore, the reliability of the material gripping mechanism 200 when gripping the material is further improved.

[0080] Optionally, the elastic buffer 2263 can be a spring, a sheet, or other structure. Of course, the elastic buffer 2263 can also be other structures, which are not limited in this article.

[0081] In another alternative embodiment, the adsorption element drive source 226 further includes a guide rod 2264. A buffer bracket 2262 and at least one of the adsorption elements 222 can be guided and engaged with the guide rod 2264 along its extension direction. An elastic buffer element 2263 is fitted onto the guide rod 2264. In this embodiment, the guide rod 2264 can guide and limit the elastic element, thereby avoiding the risk of tilting and improving the movement accuracy of the adsorption element 222.

[0082] Optionally, the adsorption element 222 can be fixedly connected to the guide rod 2264, and the buffer bracket 2262 can be fitted onto the guide rod 2264, in which case the guide rod 2264 and the buffer bracket 2262 are in sliding engagement. Alternatively, the buffer bracket 2262 can be fixedly connected to the guide rod 2264, and the adsorption element 222 can be fitted onto the guide rod 2264, in which case the guide rod 2264 and the adsorption element 222 driving source 226 are in sliding engagement. Still alternatively, both the adsorption element 222 driving source 226 and the buffer bracket 2262 can be fitted onto the guide rod 2264, and both the adsorption element 222 and the buffer bracket 2262 are in sliding engagement with the guide rod 2264.

[0083] Furthermore, the adsorption element drive source 226 may also include a third guide portion 2265, which includes a third slider 2265a, a fourth slider 2265b, and a third guide rail 2265c. The third guide rail 2265c can be fixedly connected to the fixed bracket 221, and the extension direction of the third guide rail 2265c can be parallel to the lifting direction of the adsorption element 222. The third slider 2265a and the fourth slider 2265b can both slide in cooperation with the third guide rail 2265c. The third slider 2265a can be fixedly connected to the buffer bracket 2262, and the fourth slider 2265b can be fixedly connected to the adsorption element 222. This solution can further improve the movement accuracy of the adsorption element 222.

[0084] In another alternative embodiment, the adsorption member 222 may have a second clearance notch 2221 on the side facing the second power source 2261, and at least a portion of the gripper drive source 225 may be located within the second clearance notch 2221. In this solution, at least a portion of the gripper drive source 225 is located within the second clearance notch 2221, which helps to reduce the overall height of the first gripper 220 and the second gripper 230.

[0085] In the above scheme, the material gripping mechanism 200 may further include a rotating bracket 240, which is rotatably connected to the robotic arm 210. The first gripper 220 and the second gripper 230 are fixedly mounted on the rotating bracket 240. Here, the fixed brackets 221 on the first gripper 220 and the second gripper 230 are fixedly connected to the rotating bracket 240.

[0086] In another alternative embodiment, the release liner mechanism 400 may include a mounting base 410 and a tearing assembly 420. The mounting base 410 may be mounted on the mounting frame 100. The tearing assembly 420 may include a moving module 421, a tearing moving member 422, and a tearing gripper 423. The moving module 421 may be mounted on the mounting base 410, and the tearing moving member 422 may be connected to the moving module 421. The moving module 421 may drive the tearing moving member 422 to translate relative to the mounting base 410. Here, the moving module 421 is used to adjust the position of the tearing moving member 422 on the mounting frame 100. The driving end of the tearing moving member 422 may be connected to the tearing gripper 423. The tearing gripper 423 may be used to hold the release liner of the material located at the release liner position. The tearing moving member 422 may drive the tearing gripper 423 to move, so as to tear off the release liner of the material located at the release liner position.

[0087] In the specific operation process, when the material is in the release paper tearing position, the tearing claw 423 holds the release paper. Here, the material is held by the first gripper 220 and the second gripper 230. Then the tearing moving part 422 moves to tear the release paper off the material.

[0088] In this solution, the release paper tearing mechanism 400 is equipped with a moving module 421. The moving module 421 can drive the tearing moving part 422 to move, thereby adjusting the position of the tearing moving part 422. In this way, the relative position of the tearing moving part 422 can be adjusted according to the position and length of the material.

[0089] Optionally, the moving module 421 can be a linear motor, or it can be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or other structure, which is not limited in this article. The tearing moving part 422 can also be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or other structure.

[0090] The tearing gripper 423 here can be a pneumatic or electric structure, and the specific structure of the tearing gripper 423 is similar to the clamping structure formed by the first gripper 223 and the second gripper 224 mentioned above.

[0091] In another alternative embodiment, the release paper tearing mechanism 400 may further include a release paper recycling assembly 430, which may include a collection tube 431 and a suction device 432, both of which may be mounted on the mounting frame 100. The collection tube 431 may have an inlet and an outlet, with the outlet connected to the suction device 432, allowing the torn release paper to enter the collection tube 431 from the inlet.

[0092] In the specific operation process, the tear-off gripper 423 places the torn release paper into the feed port, and then the tear-off gripper 423 releases the release paper. The release paper is adsorbed into the collection tube 431 and finally collected in the suction device 432.

[0093] This solution enables the collection of torn release paper, thereby preventing release paper waste from accumulating in the release paper tearing mechanism 400 and improving the cleanliness of the processing environment.

[0094] The suction device 432 here can be a vacuum pump, air compressor or other structure. Of course, the suction device 432 can also be other air extraction structures, which are not limited in this article.

[0095] In another alternative, the number of tear-off components 420 can be at least two, namely a first tear-off component 4201 and a second tear-off component 4202, which can be arranged side by side on the mounting base 410. This solution enables double-sided tearing, thereby improving the tearing efficiency of the release paper.

[0096] In another alternative embodiment, the battery adhesive applicator may further include an adhesive support mechanism 600. The adhesive support mechanism 600 may include a support platform 610 and a support drive source 620. The support drive source 620 may be mounted on the mounting frame 100. The drive end of the support drive source 620 is connected to the support platform 610. The support drive source 620 can drive the support platform 610 to rise and fall. The support platform 610 is used to support the part 720 to be adhesiveed to the material at the adhesive position.

[0097] In this solution, the support drive source 620 can drive the support platform 610 to rise and fall, and the support platform 610 can support the part to be pasted 720, thereby avoiding the risk of deformation of the part to be pasted 720 and the material during the pasting process.

[0098] Optionally, the support drive source 620 can be a power structure such as a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or drive motor. Of course, the support drive source 620 can also be other power structures, which are not limited in this article.

[0099] In one alternative embodiment, the mounting frame 100 also includes a detection station located downstream of the release liner tearing station and upstream of the adhesive application station. The detection station is used to check whether the release liner has been completely removed and to detect the position information of the material. In this case, after the release liner is torn off, the material 710 enters the detection station for inspection and then enters the adhesive application station for film application. The battery adhesive application device may also include a vision inspection mechanism 500, which is used to inspect the material 710 located at the detection station. In this embodiment, the vision inspection mechanism 500 can detect the position information of the material, thereby facilitating accurate determination of the material's position and improving adhesion accuracy. Furthermore, the vision inspection mechanism 500 ensures that the release liner of the material 710 is completely removed, thereby improving the reliability and safety of material adhesion.

[0100] The visual inspection mechanism in the pool adhesive applicator disclosed in this application can be a camera, video camera, or other components, but it can also be other visual inspection structures, which are not limited herein.
