Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery cell stacking, and specifically to an adjustment mechanism for battery cells. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing environmental awareness, solar photovoltaic power generation has gradually become a hot topic worldwide. Photovoltaic shingling machines are core equipment in the manufacturing process of solar cells. A photovoltaic shingling machine is a machine that utilizes the inherent characteristics of photovoltaic cells to weld electrodes of different materials together with the cells using heat and pressure. Through the action of heat and pressure, the shingling machine welds the electrodes and cells together to form a solar cell module.

[0003] However, since lamination usually requires stacking multiple solar cells, misalignment between the cells may occur. If the cells are not adjusted, the yield rate of subsequent laminations can easily decrease.

[0004] Chinese patent application No. 202323317624.X, published on August 2, 2024, discloses a battery string loading hand, loading mechanism, and stacking welding machine. The battery string loading hand includes a moving mechanism, a rotating mechanism, a fixed frame, and a movable frame. The rotating mechanism is mounted on the drive end of the moving mechanism; the fixed frame is horizontally mounted on the drive end of the rotating mechanism, and the movable frame is mounted on the second end of the fixed frame, allowing it to extend and retract relative to the fixed frame. The moving mechanism drives the fixed frame and the movable frame to translate and move up and down, and the rotating mechanism is configured to drive the fixed frame and the movable frame to rotate horizontally. At least two first suction cup groups are mounted on the fixed frame, one of which is mounted on the first end of the fixed frame for adsorbing battery cells located at the first end of the battery string. A second suction cup group is mounted on the end of the movable frame away from the fixed frame for adsorbing battery cells located at the second end of the battery string. This patent significantly reduces the number of adjustments required to the first suction cup groups on the fixed frame, reducing adjustment workload and improving battery string loading efficiency.

[0005] However, this document only adjusts the angle of the suction cup. Since the position of the solar cells may not always be in the set position when they are transported to the stacking machine, adjusting only the angle of the solar cells cannot guarantee that the position of each string of solar cells will be in the set position. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention provides a battery cell adjustment mechanism that can adjust the battery cell in multiple directions, thereby ensuring the stacking position of the battery cell and improving the stacking effect.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, a battery cell adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment frame, on which an adjustment lifting device and a position adjustment device are provided. The adjustment lifting device is mounted on the frame, and the position adjustment device is mounted on the adjustment lifting device. The position adjustment device includes a first adjustment component, a second adjustment component, and an angle adjustment component.

The angle adjustment component is provided with a battery cell adsorption component for adsorbing the battery cell, and the angle adjustment component is used to adjust the angle of the battery cell adsorption component within the plane where the battery cell is located.

[0008] The above structure, by setting a first adjustment component, a second adjustment component, and an angle adjustment component, enables the first adjustment component to drive the second adjustment component to move in the X-axis direction, and the second adjustment component to drive the angle adjustment component to move in the Y-axis direction. The angle adjustment component is used to adjust the angle of the battery cell adsorption component, thereby enabling the adsorption of the battery cell according to its current position and adjusting the position of the battery cell. This ensures that the battery cell is in the preset position each time it is stacked, thereby improving the yield of the stacking and resulting in a better stacking effect.

[0009] Furthermore, the adjusting and lifting device includes an adjusting and lifting base plate, an adjusting and lifting motor, an adjusting and lifting gear, and an adjusting and lifting rack.

[0012] The above configuration involves the first adjusting motor driving the first adjusting gear to rotate, which in turn moves the first adjusting rack, thereby driving the second adjusting component to adjust its position.

[0013] Furthermore, the second adjustment component includes a second adjustment base plate and a second adjustment linear motor. The second adjustment base plate is disposed on the first adjustment base, the second adjustment linear motor is disposed on the second adjustment base plate, the second adjustment connecting block is disposed on the drive shaft of the second adjustment linear motor, and the angle adjustment component is disposed on the second adjustment connecting block.

The battery cell adsorption component is rotatably disposed on the angle adjustment turntable, and the angle adjustment gear drives the battery cell adsorption component to swing around the angle adjustment turntable as a fulcrum.

[0016] The above setup involves driving the angle adjustment gear to rotate via an angle adjustment motor, which in turn drives the battery cell adsorption component to swing around the angle adjustment turntable as a fulcrum.

[0017] Furthermore, the adsorption component includes an adsorption substrate and a suction cup. The suction cup is disposed below the adsorption substrate, and the angle adjustment turntable is located at the center of the adsorption substrate. An angle adjustment connecting seat is provided at one end of the angle adjustment turntable, and an angle adjustment rack is provided on the angle adjustment connecting seat. The angle adjustment rack meshes with the angle adjustment gear.

[0018] The above settings, including the suction cup, not only ensure stable gripping of the battery cells but also prevent damage to their surface.

[0025] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a battery cell adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment frame 1, on which an adjustment lifting device 2 and a position adjustment device 3 are provided. The adjustment lifting device 2 is mounted on the frame 1, and the position adjustment device 3 is mounted on the adjustment lifting device 2.

The first adjustment component 4 drives the second adjustment component 5 to move in the X-axis direction, and the second adjustment component 5 drives the angle adjustment component 6 to move in the Y-axis direction. The angle adjustment component 6 is provided with a battery cell adsorption component 7 for adsorbing a battery cell (not shown in the figure), and the angle adjustment component 6 is used to adjust the angle of the battery cell adsorption component 7. In this embodiment, the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction are as follows: Figure 1 The direction indicated by the middle arrow.

[0027] like Figure 2As shown, the adjusting and lifting device 2 includes an adjusting and lifting base plate 21, an adjusting and lifting motor 22, an adjusting and lifting gear 23, and an adjusting and lifting rack 24. The adjusting and lifting motor 22 is mounted on the adjusting frame 1, and an adjusting slider 25 is mounted on the adjusting and lifting frame 1. The adjusting and lifting base plate 21 is slidably mounted on the adjusting slider 25 via an adjusting slide rail 26, and the adjusting slider 25 slides vertically along the adjusting slide rail 26. The adjusting and lifting gear 23 is mounted on the drive shaft of the adjusting and lifting motor 22, and the adjusting and lifting rack 24, which meshes with the adjusting and lifting gear 23, is mounted on the adjusting and lifting base plate 21. The first adjusting component 4 is mounted on the adjusting and lifting base plate 21. The adjusting and lifting motor 22 drives the adjusting and lifting gear 23 to rotate, thereby causing the adjusting and lifting rack 24 to rise and fall, which in turn drives the position adjusting device 3 to attract the battery cells and achieve adjustment of the battery cells.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, the first adjustment component 4 includes a first adjustment base 41, a first adjustment motor 42, a first adjustment rack 43, and a first adjustment gear (not shown in the figure). A first adjustment guide rail 44 is provided on the adjustment lifting base plate 21, and the first adjustment guide rail 44 is arranged along both ends of the adjustment lifting base plate 21. The first adjustment base 41 is slidably mounted on the first adjustment guide rail 44 via a first adjustment slider 45. The first adjustment motor 42 is provided on the first adjustment base 41, and the first adjustment gear is provided on the drive shaft of the first adjustment motor 42. The first adjustment rack 43 is also provided on the adjustment lifting base plate 21, and the first adjustment gear meshes with the first adjustment rack 43. A second adjustment component 5 is provided on the first adjustment base 41. The first adjustment motor 42 drives the first adjustment gear to rotate, thereby driving the first adjustment rack 43 to move, and thus driving the second adjustment component 5 to perform position adjustment.

[0029] The second adjustment component 5 includes a second adjustment base plate 51 and a second adjustment linear motor 52. The second adjustment base plate 51 is disposed on the first adjustment base 41, and the second adjustment linear motor 52 is disposed on the second adjustment base plate 51. A second adjustment connecting block 53 is disposed on the drive shaft of the second adjustment linear motor 52, and an angle adjustment component 6 is disposed on the second adjustment connecting block 53. The second adjustment linear motor 52 drives the second adjustment connecting block 53, thereby allowing the position of the angle adjustment component 6 to be adjusted.

[0030] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the angle adjustment assembly 6 includes an angle adjustment base plate 61, an angle adjustment motor 62, and an angle adjustment gear 63.

The angle adjustment gear 63 is connected to the battery cell adsorption component 7. An angle adjustment turntable 64 is located at the other end of the angle adjustment base plate 61. The battery cell adsorption component 7 is rotatably mounted on the angle adjustment turntable 64. The angle adjustment gear 63 drives the battery cell adsorption component 7 to swing around the angle adjustment turntable 64 as a fulcrum. The angle adjustment motor 62 drives the angle adjustment gear 63 to rotate, thereby driving the battery cell adsorption component 7 to swing around the angle adjustment turntable 64 as a fulcrum.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the battery cell adsorption component 7 includes an adsorption substrate 71 and a suction cup 72. The suction cup 72 is disposed below the adsorption substrate 71, and an angle adjustment turntable 64 is located at the center of the adsorption substrate 71. An angle adjustment connecting seat 73 is provided at one end of the angle adjustment turntable 64, and an angle adjustment rack 74 is provided on the angle adjustment connecting seat 73. The angle adjustment rack 74 meshes with the angle adjustment gear 63. The suction cup 72 not only stably grips the battery cell but also prevents damage to the surface of the battery cell.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, one side of the angle adjusting rack 74 is provided with an arc-shaped surface 75 extending arc-shaped from the center of the angle adjusting rack 74 to both ends of the angle adjusting rack 74. On the arc-shaped surface 75 are locking teeth 76 that mesh with the angle adjusting rack 63. The arc-shaped surface 75 ensures that when the angle adjusting gear 63 moves the angle adjusting rack 74, the angle adjusting rack 74 moves with a certain arc, thereby ensuring that the angle of the suction cup 72 can be adjusted, thus facilitating the adjustment of the battery cell's position in various aspects.

[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: By setting a first adjustment component 4, a second adjustment component 5, and an angle adjustment component 6, the first adjustment component 4 drives the second adjustment component 5 to move in the X-axis direction, and the second adjustment component 5 drives the angle adjustment component 6 to move in the Y-axis direction. The angle adjustment component 6 is used to adjust the angle of the battery cell adsorption component 7, thereby enabling the adsorption of the battery cell according to its current position and adjusting the position of the battery cell. This ensures that the battery cell is in the preset position each time it is stacked, thereby improving the yield of the stacked welding and resulting in a better stacking effect.
