[0028] Example:
[0029] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a foreign object cleaning mechanism, which is used for cleaning foreign objects on a flat surface, such as cleaning foreign objects on the bonding table 1 in an electroplating bonding machine; see also Figure 1 As shown, it includes a visual inspection module 2 corresponding to the bonding surface 1 and a cleaning component 3 disposed on one side of the bonding surface 1. The visual inspection module 2 is used to perform visual inspection on the surface of the bonding surface 1. When the visual inspection module 2 detects foreign matter attached to the bonding surface 1, the cleaning component 3 removes the foreign matter from the bonding surface 1. The foreign matter cleaning mechanism of this application includes a visual inspection module and the cleaning component 3. In use, during the material change of the electroplating bonding machine, the surface appearance of the bonding surface 1 can be visually inspected by the visual inspection module. When the visual inspection module 2 detects foreign matter attached to the bonding surface 1, the cleaning component 3 cleans the foreign matter from the bonding surface 1. The foreign object cleaning mechanism described in this application, through the joint cooperation of the vision detection module and the cleaning component 3, enables timely detection and cleaning of foreign objects attached to the bonding table 1, avoiding damage to the quality of the battery cells by the attached foreign objects, preventing batch fragmentation or microcracks of the battery cells, improving the product yield, and increasing the production capacity of the electroplating bonding machine.
[0030] The cleaning assembly 3 includes a first rotary drive 31, a connecting arm 32 disposed at the rotating end of the first rotary drive 31 and driven by the first rotary drive 31, and a cleaning head 33 disposed at the end of the connecting arm 32 away from the first rotary drive 31. The connecting arm 32 rotates around the rotation axis of the first rotary drive 31 under the drive of the first rotary drive 31. The contact surface 1 is located within the vertical projection area of the region formed by the rotation path of the connecting arm 32. In use, the first rotary drive 31 drives the connecting arm 32 to rotate, thereby causing the cleaning head 33 to rotate around the rotation axis of the first rotary drive 31. The cleaning head 33, driven by the connecting arm 32, rotates to the area corresponding to the attached foreign object, and removes the attached foreign object. Optionally, the first rotary drive 31 is a DD motor. It should be noted that the vertical direction mentioned in this application refers to the direction parallel to the Z-axis of the spatial coordinate system.
[0031] The cleaning head 33 includes a second rotary drive 331 and a cleaning brush head 332 disposed at the rotating end of the second rotary drive 331; the second rotary drive 331 is connected to the connecting arm 32, and the rotating end of the second rotary drive 331 is disposed facing the mating surface 1. In use, the cleaning brush head 332 rotates under the drive of the second rotary drive 331 to clean foreign objects attached to the mating surface 1.
[0032] The cleaning brush head 332 includes a brush head body 3321 and bristles 3322 disposed on the side of the brush head body 3321 facing the contact surface 1; the brush head body 3321 is connected to the rotating end of the second rotary drive member 331. In use, the second rotary drive member 331 drives the brush head body 3321 to rotate, and the brush head body 3321 drives the bristles 3322 to rotate. The bristles 3322 exert a force on the contact surface 1 to remove foreign objects attached to the contact surface 1.
[0033] The visual inspection module 2 includes a light source 21 and a visual camera 22. The light source 21 projects light onto the bonding surface 1 to expose the bonding surface 1, and the visual camera 22 captures an image of the exposed bonding surface 1. Optionally, in some embodiments, the visual inspection module 2 is fixedly disposed on an area corresponding to the bonding surface 1; in other embodiments, the foreign object cleaning mechanism further includes a driving component for moving the visual inspection module 2. When visual inspection of the bonding surface 1 is required, the visual inspection module 2 moves to the area corresponding to the bonding surface 1 under the drive of the additionally disposed driving component. The placement of the light source 21 can improve the contrast between the bonding surface 1 and the mounting plane, thereby improving the overall detection accuracy of the visual inspection module 2.
[0034] See Figure 2 As shown, the foreign object cleaning mechanism also includes a control component 4. The vision detection module 2 and the cleaning component 3 are electrically connected to the control component 4. Under the control of the control component 4, the vision detection module 2 performs visual detection on the mating surface 1 and transmits the detection data to the control component 4. The control component 4 controls the cleaning component 3 to clean the foreign objects on the mating surface 1 based on the detection data fed back by the vision detection module 2.
[0035] See you again Figure 1 As shown, the foreign object cleaning mechanism further includes a lifting drive assembly 5, which drives the cleaning assembly 3 to move vertically. The first rotary drive member 31 is located at the telescopic end of the lifting drive assembly 5. The lifting drive assembly 5 enables the cleaning assembly 3 to move vertically relative to the contact surface 1, improving the flexibility of the cleaning assembly 3's adjustment and facilitating the cleaning assembly 3's cleaning of foreign objects attached to the contact surface 1.
[0036] See Figure 3 As shown, optionally, in some other embodiments, the connecting arm 32 may be a telescopic arm. The connecting arm 32 includes a telescopic drive member 321 connected to the first rotary drive member 31 and a telescopic rod 322 disposed at the telescopic end of the telescopic drive member 321. The cleaning head 33 is disposed at the end of the telescopic rod 322 away from the telescopic drive member 321. The structural arrangement of the connecting arm 32 allows the cleaning head 33 to thoroughly clean the contact surface 1 under the drive of the connecting arm 32, while also facilitating storage and avoiding interference with other components.
[0037] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide an electroplating bonding machine, which includes a main unit 10 and a foreign matter cleaning mechanism as described above.
[0038] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the bonding surface 1 is disposed on the main unit 10, the cleaning component 3 is disposed on one side of the main unit 10, and the vision inspection module 2 is disposed correspondingly to the bonding surface 1. The vision inspection module 2 may be disposed above the bonding surface 1. "Above" refers to the direction away from the bonding surface 1 in the vertical direction. The electroplating bonding machine includes the aforementioned foreign matter cleaning mechanism, see [link to documentation]. Figure 5 As shown, in the initial state, the connecting arm 32 of the cleaning component 3 is parallel to the transmission direction of the battery cell. When the electroplating bonding machine is used to apply tape to the battery cell, during the gap when the foreign object cleaning mechanism moves the next battery cell along the transmission direction of the battery cell towards the bonding table after the tape application operation of the previous battery cell, the vision detection module 2 collects the surface appearance image of the bonding table 1 and transmits the collected data to the control component 4. When the vision detection module 2 detects foreign objects attached to the bonding table 1, the cleaning component 3 cleans the foreign objects attached to the bonding table 1. See also Figure 4 As shown, when the cleaning component 3 cleans the foreign matter attached to the mating surface 1, the first rotary drive 31 drives the connecting arm 32 to rotate, thereby driving the cleaning head 33 to move towards the area of the attached foreign matter. When the cleaning head 33 moves to the area corresponding to the attached foreign matter, the second rotary drive 331 drives the cleaning brush head 332 to rotate, so that the cleaning brush head 332 removes the foreign matter.
[0039] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0040] The above embodiments merely illustrate preferred implementations of this application, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
