Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dispensing technology, and in particular to an automatic dispensing workstation. Background Technology

[0002] Temperature acquisition of battery modules can be achieved through NTC temperature sensors. In application, the temperature sensor of the NTC sensor is attached to the cell body, and then covered with thermally conductive structural adhesive to fix it and transmit the temperature signal to the BMS. The traditional NTC dispensing method is manual dispensing. After the module arrives at the dispensing station, the release paper on the NTC temperature sensor is peeled off by hand, the NTC temperature sensor is attached to the surface of the cell using tweezers or other tools, and then the thermally conductive structural adhesive is filled into the temperature sensor groove by hand with a glue gun. The configuration of manual dispensing station on the automated module line not only increases labor costs, but also requires the staff to have a high level of skill to ensure the degree of NTC temperature sensor adhesion, which does not have the ability to prevent mistakes. Moreover, the manual operation of NTC temperature sensor, vacuuming, and dispensing requires pressing the NTC temperature sensor. The pressure of pressing cannot be controlled, which can easily damage the fragile NTC temperature sensor, resulting in quality problems and even scrapping the module. In view of this, this utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0026] Reference Figures 1-5 An automated dispensing workstation includes a logistics line 1, a collaborative robot 201, and a battery module 101 placed on the logistics line 1. It also includes a placement rack 3, on which a quick-change adapter plate 4 and an adhesive application mounting plate 5 are respectively installed. A vacuum cleaner pipe 402 is provided on the quick-change adapter plate 4, and a brush head 403 is connected to the end of the vacuum cleaner pipe 402 away from the quick-change adapter plate 4. A pressing head 405 is also provided on the quick-change adapter plate 4. A dual-liquid dispensing valve 502 is provided on the adhesive application mounting plate 5, and a glue tube 503 is connected to the bottom of the dual-liquid dispensing valve 502.

[0027] In this invention, the collaborative robot 201 is a biomimetic six-axis robot. Unlike the single-connection manipulator of traditional six-axis robots, the manipulator of the collaborative robot 201 can cooperate with the quick-change adapter plate 4 and the glue application mounting plate 5 respectively. When the collaborative robot 201 is connected to the quick-change adapter plate 4, it can perform dust removal through the vacuum cleaner pipe 402 and brush head 403 on the quick-change adapter plate 4, and perform glue application through the dual-liquid dispensing valve 502 and glue tube 503. It should be noted that the dual-liquid dispensing valve 502 is a check valve with a back suction function to ensure that the glue does not drip during operation and to ensure that the cylinder stops moving after the glue reaches the set value during the glue application process, so that the glue is quickly stopped and the backflow is prevented.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A connecting plate 202 is fixedly connected to the collaborative robot 201, and a camera lens assembly 203 and a rotating light source 204 are respectively provided on the connecting plate 202.

[0029] Reference Figures 1-5 The first fixed seat 301 and the second fixed seat 302 are fixedly connected to the placement frame 3 respectively. The quick-change adapter plate 4 is connected to the first fixed seat 301, and the glued mounting plate 5 is connected to the second fixed seat 302.

[0030] Reference Figure 5 The quick-change adapter plate 4 is provided with a first quick-change head 401, the glue-applied mounting plate 5 is provided with a second quick-change head 501, and the bottom of the connecting plate 202 is connected to a robot-side quick-change head 205, which cooperates with the first quick-change head 401 and the second quick-change head 501.

[0031] Reference Figures 3-5 The bottom of the quick-change adapter plate 4 is also provided with a pressing force measuring mechanism 404, and the pressing head 405 is located at the bottom of the pressing force measuring mechanism 404.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 It also includes a fixed support 2, on which the collaborative robot 201 is mounted, and a connecting plate 202 is mounted at the end of the collaborative robot 201 away from the fixed support 2. The fixed support 2 makes it easy to place the collaborative robot 201.

[0033] Reference Figures 1-5 The rack 3 is equipped with a waste glue bin 303, which is located directly below the glue tube 503. It is used to receive waste glue discharge and the discharge time and discharge volume can be manually defined.

[0034] In this invention, during use, the battery module 101 flows into this workstation from the previous process on the logistics line 1. Then, the collaborative robot 201 moves above the battery module 101, turns on the rotating light source 204, and takes a picture for positioning using the camera lens assembly 203. Simultaneously, the collaborative robot 201 moves to the quick-change adapter plate 4 on the placement rack 3, allowing the robot-side quick-change head 205 to dock and assemble with the first quick-change head 401, initiating automatic cleaning and dust removal. In actual use, based on the NTC temperature sensor position determined by the picture, the pressing head 405 at the bottom of the pressing force measuring mechanism 404 presses the NTC resistor on the temperature sensor with a certain amount of force, ensuring a firm connection between the NTC temperature sensor and the battery cell body. The adhesive is then bonded together; then the collaborative robot 201 returns to its position, and the robot-side quick-change head 205 separates from the first quick-change head 401. At this time, the robot-side quick-change head 205 and the second quick-change head 501 work together to perform automatic dispensing. Specifically, a cylinder is installed on the glue application mounting plate 5. When the cylinder is started, it can push the dual-liquid dispensing valve 502 to work, pushing the glue out of the glue tube 503. The cylinder's advance distance is calculated according to the set glue amount, thereby ensuring the consistency of the dispensing state. After the dispensing is completed, the camera lens assembly 203 takes a picture and compares the OK and NG dispensing states to automatically determine the status. If the dispensing is OK, it will automatically flow to the next station; if it is NG, the machine will issue an alarm prompting that manual handling is required.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
