Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mobile module technology, specifically a 9-axis electrode transport module. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of stacked batteries, the electrode sheets are generally picked up and transported by an electrode sheet feeding robot, and then transported to a stacking platform for stacking to form a stacked battery. The existing stacking equipment still uses a combination of motors, lead screws and cylinders to achieve multi-axis movement of the moving components. However, to achieve more axis movement, more devices need to be added, making the overall structure bulky and very large.

[0003] In addition, these devices use a large number of sliding pairs to improve the smoothness of the device's movement. In order to extend the service life, the sliding pairs need to be maintained. Usually, lubricating oil is added to improve the lubrication and reduce wear.

[0004] The most common method is to form an oil circuit structure on the slider, as shown in the technical solution in the published technical document "CN117329229A, an oil circuit structure for a slider". However, there are many sliders used in the overall equipment. If most sliders are connected to external oil supply equipment, a lot of oil pipes are needed, making the overall equipment look very messy. Moreover, the sliders are installed in a relatively narrow space, and the oil pipes will be pulled during the movement, and friction will be generated. Long-term friction will cause the oil pipes to break. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a 9-axis electrode handling module to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A 9-axis electrode handling module includes a base. A plurality of magnetic tracks are provided on one side of the base. Five linear motors are installed in each magnetic track. Four of the linear motors are connected to a moving component, and the other linear motor is connected to a moving component. The moving component and the moving component are connected to the base through a sliding pair.

[0008] The first moving component includes a mounting plate and a moving plate. A second linear motor and a second sliding pair are mounted on the mounting plate. The side of the moving plate is connected to the second linear motor and the second sliding pair, respectively. The second linear motor drives the moving plate to move up and down around the mounting plate.

[0009] A further technical solution is provided on the moving plate, wherein the oil injection channel one has at least two openings, each of which is equipped with a connector two. The slider in the sliding pair two is provided with the oil injection channel two. One opening of the oil injection channel two is equipped with the connector one. The connector one is connected to the connector two through a pipe, and the other connector two is connected to an external oil supply device.

[0010] In a further technical solution, the sliding pair 2 has two sets, each set having several sliders, and the slider near the position of connector 2 is provided with connector 1. The oil injection channel 1 is a three-way channel 1, which has three openings respectively connected to connector 2.

[0011] In a further technical solution, the second oil injection channel is a three-way channel, the openings formed by the two-way channel are located at both ends and the outside of the slider, and the second connector is located on the side of the slider.

[0012] In a further technical solution, the bottom of the mobile component is provided with several horizontally distributed water coolers, and a mounting position for connecting to the linear motor is formed at the position corresponding to the water channel.

[0013] In a further technical solution, the moving component one includes a mounting plate, the mounting plate having a longitudinally distributed water channel two, a linear motor two mounted on the mounting plate, the linear motor two being connected to the moving plate, and the moving plate being connected to the mounting plate via a sliding joint two.

[0014] In a further technical solution, the base is provided with several channels, and copper tubes are fitted into the channels by interference fit. The copper tubes are used to inject cooling liquid, and the linear motor is in contact with the side of the base.

[0015] In a further technical solution, a copper tube is fitted into the channel by an interference fit. The copper tube is used to inject cooling liquid, and the linear motor is in contact with the side of the base.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] During operation, five linear motors drive four moving components and one moving component to move laterally, which is the first axial movement. The second linear motor in the moving component drives the moving plate to move up and down around the mounting plate, which is the second axial movement in two directions. Thus, the four moving components have eight directions of movement. In other words, the combination of five linear motors and four linear motors can achieve nine directions of movement. Moreover, the linear motors are very small, flexible and highly stable, which greatly reduces the size of the moving module. It is also very convenient to add more in the future.

[0018] In addition, the moving plate and the slider are relatively stationary during operation, and the moving plate is located on the outside, providing more installation space. Therefore, the oil supply is divided by the oil injection channel pair. If more sliding pairs are used in a single moving component, more oil injection channels with openings can be formed on the moving plate to achieve the effect of diversion. There is no need to reserve space or set up a diverter. The connecting pipes used are shorter and easier to manage.

[0019] In addition, since the moving plate and slider are relatively stationary, the connected pipes will not generate friction, thus avoiding pipe damage. The second connector is connected to the oil pump through a pipe and is located in the external space, making it easier to maintain and install, and will also not cause friction damage.

[0020] Other features and advantages of this invention will be described in detail in the following detailed description section. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1-3 ;

[0027] The electrode handling module mechanism described in this utility model is simple and can realize multi-axis movement. Specifically, the electrode handling module in this embodiment includes a base 11. One side of the base 11 is provided with several magnetic rails 21. Each magnetic rail 21 is equipped with five linear motors 22. Four of the linear motors 22 are connected to the moving component 3, and the other linear motor 22 is connected to the moving component 5. In order to make the moving component 3 and the moving component 5 more stable, the number of magnetic rails 21 can be increased. In this embodiment, two magnetic rails 21 are provided. The moving component 3 and the moving component 5 are respectively provided with sliding pairs 4 between them and the base 11 to make their operation smoother.

[0028] Furthermore, each moving component 3 includes a mounting plate 31 and a moving plate 35. The mounting plate 31 is equipped with a linear motor 34 and a sliding pair 36. The sides of the moving plate 35 are connected to the linear motor 34 and the sliding pair 36 respectively. During operation, the five linear motors 22 drive the four moving components 3 and the one moving component 5 to move laterally, which is the first axial movement. Then, according to the actual situation, the linear motor 34 in the moving component 3 drives the moving plate 35 to move up and down around the mounting plate, which is the second axis movement in two directions. Thus, the four moving components 3 have eight directions of movement. That is, the combination of the five linear motors and the four linear motors can achieve nine directions of movement. Moreover, the linear motors are very small in size, flexible and highly stable, thus greatly reducing the size of the moving module. It is also very convenient to add more in the future.

[0029] The electrode transport module described in this utility model adopts an internal flow distribution method, which eliminates the need for additional flow distributors and saves space. Based on the above implementation method, each of the five moving components 3 is equipped with a sliding pair 2 36, that is, there are at least five sliding pairs 2 36. In order to balance, if each moving component 3 is equipped with two sliding pairs 2 36, then there will be ten sliding pairs 2 36. According to the traditional method, each sliding pair 2 36 needs to be connected to an oil pipe for periodically supplying lubricating oil, which results in too many pipes and a messy situation.

[0030] In this embodiment, an oil injection channel 1 is provided on the movable plate 35. The oil injection channel 1 has at least two openings, each with a connector 2 351 installed. The slider 362 in the sliding pair 2 36 has an oil injection channel 2. One opening of the oil injection channel 2 is fitted with a connector 1 363. The connector 1 363 is connected to the connector 2 351 through a pipe, and the other connector 2 351 is connected to an external oil supply device. During operation, the movable plate 35 and the slider 362 are relatively stationary. Moreover, the movable plate 35 is located on the outside, providing more installation space. Therefore, the oil supply is diverted using the movable plate 35. If more sliding pairs 2 36 are used in a single movable component 3, then more oil injection channels 1 with openings can be formed on the movable plate 35, achieving the effect of diversion. There is no need to reserve space or set up an additional diverter. The connecting pipes used are shorter and easier to manage.

[0031] In addition, since the movable plate 35 and the slider 362 are relatively stationary, the connected pipes will not generate friction, thus avoiding pipe damage. The connector 351 is connected to the oil pump through a pipe and is located in the external space, making it easier to maintain and install, and will not cause friction damage.

[0032] In this embodiment, the sliding pair 36 has two sets, each set having several sliders 362. The slider 362 near the joint 351 is provided with a joint 363. Preferably, the oil injection channel is located at the upper end of the moving plate 35. The slider 362 at the upper end of the joint 363 can shorten the connection distance between the joint 363 and the joint 351 using pipes.

[0033] In addition, the oil injection channel one is a three-way channel with three openings, each connected to a connector two 351. Two of the connector two 351s are connected to connector one 363 through pipes, and the other connector two 351 is connected to an external oil supply device.

[0034] The electrode handling module is usually used in a vertical position. That is, linear motor 22 drives the moving component 3 to move along the X-axis, and linear motor 34 drives the moving plate 35 to move along the Z-axis. Then, connector 363 is usually set on the uppermost slider 362, and connector 363 is located at the upper end of slider 362. Lubricating oil is output from the lower end of slider 362. The lubricating oil flows down under the action of gravity to lubricate other sliders 362. However, the Z-axis movement stroke of the moving component 3 is relatively short. Using the above method, the first slider 362 cannot be lubricated. In this embodiment, the above problem is solved by changing the oil circuit method.

[0035] The second oil injection channel inside the slider 362 is a three-way channel. The openings formed by the two-way channel are located at both ends of the slider 362, forming a "T"-shaped oil passage. The second connector 351 is located on the side of the slider 362. During oil injection, the oil flows from the middle to both ends. The lubricating oil coming out from the lower end can lubricate the slider 362 below, while the lubricating oil coming out from the upper end can flow downwards due to gravity, thus serving its own function. Preferably, the opening at the upper end is designed with an inclination so that its oil outlet direction is towards the slide rail 361, which is more conducive to lubrication.

[0036] In this invention, the bottom of the moving component 3 is connected to the linear motor 22. Therefore, the heat generated by the linear motor 22 will be transferred to the moving component 3. The moving component 3 also uses related power devices, which will also be affected when the temperature is too high. In order to avoid these situations, several horizontally distributed water coolers are provided in the bottom of the moving component 3. The mounting position 37 connected to the linear motor 22 is formed at the position corresponding to the water channel 33. The horizontal distribution can cover the length direction of the linear motor 22, forming a barrier and reducing the heat transfer to the moving component 3.

[0037] One embodiment of the present invention relates to the movable component 3, specifically including a mounting plate 31. In the above embodiment, water channel 33 is disposed within the mounting plate 31, and water channel 32 is also disposed within the mounting plate 31. Water channel 32 and water channel 33 intersect and do not interfere with each other. A linear motor 34 is mounted on the mounting plate 31 and is connected to the movable plate 35. In this embodiment, the linear motor 34 drives the movable plate 35 to move longitudinally, perpendicular to the moving direction of the linear motor 32. Therefore, the water channel 32 is arranged in a longitudinal distribution manner, which can cover the length direction of the linear motor 34. The heat generated by the linear motor 34 when it is working will be transferred to the mounting plate 31. By continuously supplying coolant or cold water to the water channel 32, the heat in the mounting plate 31 can be removed to keep its temperature constant, so that the temperature of the linear motor 34 will not be too high.

[0038] In another embodiment, even if water channel 33 is not provided on the mounting plate 31, but only water channel 32 is provided, the mounting plate 31 forms a larger heat collector. By accelerating the flow of liquid, the heat dissipation effect is improved, and the overheating of linear motor 22 and linear motor 34 can also be avoided. Of course, providing both water channel 33 and water channel 32 in the mounting plate 31 at the same time will make the heat dissipation effect even better.

[0039] In addition, to improve the smoothness of movement, the moving plate 35 is connected to the mounting plate 31 via the sliding pair 36.

[0040] Based on the above embodiments, the base 11 has two magnetic tracks 21, and each magnetic track 21 is equipped with five linear motors 22. The upper and lower two linear motors 22 work together to drive a moving component 3. The linear motors generate a lot of heat during operation. However, the operating environment of the linear motors is narrow, and the heat is difficult to dissipate. It always accumulates in the same position, causing the linear motor to overheat severely, which will affect the normal operation and accuracy of the linear motor. In this embodiment, the base 11 is provided with several channels 12. In one embodiment, the channels extend to both ends and form openings on the base, which can directly introduce cooling liquid into the channels to dissipate heat from the base.

[0041] In another embodiment, a copper tube 13 is fitted into the channel 12 by an interference fit, so that the copper tube 13 can make better contact with the base 11. The linear motor 22 contacts the side of the base 11. When in use, the heat emitted by the linear motor 22 can be directly transferred to the base 11. At this time, the base 11 is equivalent to a huge heat collector. After transferring the heat from the small space to a larger object, there are more ways to dissipate heat, and the operation is more convenient. In this embodiment, coolant or cold water is introduced into the copper tube 13 through an external device. The copper tube 13 absorbs the heat in the base 11 and keeps it at an appropriate temperature, thus avoiding excessive heat accumulation that affects the operation of the linear motor 22.

[0042] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0043] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style of the specification is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementations that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
