DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] This embodiment discloses a novel TCO welding machine, such as Figs. 1 to 7 As shown, the device includes a housing 1. Along the processing direction, the upper surface of the housing 1 is sequentially arranged with a loading section 2, a processing section 3, and a unloading section 4. A displacement robot arm 5 for moving materials is provided between each section. The robot arm can move vertically to pick up the components to be processed and can move the workpiece between different workstations by lateral movement. The loading section 2 includes a loading conveyor belt, a flipping robot arm 22 equipped with a rotating mechanism 221, and a loading transfer table 23. The flipping robot arm 22 is located at the end of the loading conveyor belt and has a clamping mechanism 73 or a vacuum suction mechanism. It can pick up the workpiece by clamping or suction and flip it using the rotating mechanism 221, allowing for more flexible adjustment of the workpiece placement and making the device more adaptable. The processing section 3 includes a rotary worktable 31. The worktable 31 is arranged in a counterclockwise direction with a tab shaping unit 32, a laser welding unit 33, and an electrical detection unit 34. The laser welding unit 33 is equipped with a TCO positioning module 6 with a cylinder 61 and a gripper 62. The cylinder 61 and the gripper 62 are used to remove the release paper from the TCO. The workpiece is placed on the positioning seat of the TCO positioning module 6 with a positioning block 751 and a vacuum suction cup. The vacuum suction cup driven by the cylinder 61 is used to adsorb and fix the workpiece. The gripper 62 of the TCO positioning module 6 clamps the edge of the release paper. The gripper 62 moves obliquely at a preset angle (such as 30°-60°) and uses the bending angle to separate the release paper from the substrate. The torn release paper is adsorbed by a vacuum nozzle or a vertical suction pipe and transported to the waste bin through a pipeline. The unloading section 4 includes an unloading transfer table 41, an unloading belt 42, and an NG belt 43.

[0022] Further improvements include a TCO feeding module 7 for the processing section 3, with parallel empty tray positions 71 and material feeding positions 72 adapted to the housing 1. The empty tray positions 71 and material feeding positions 72 are used to place empty blister packs and TCO-filled blister packs, respectively. The upper surface of the housing 1 has openings corresponding to the empty tray positions 71 and material feeding positions 72. Vertical lifting mechanisms 74 are provided at corresponding positions of these openings. The platform of the housing 1 is equipped with a mechanism for lateral movement between the empty tray positions 71 and material feeding positions 72. The movable clamping mechanism 73 clamps the blister tray containing TCO and moves it above the empty tray position 71 to facilitate the removal of TCO and make processing convenient. The lifting mechanism provided in the material placement position 72 will lift the blister tray placed in the material placement position 72 to the opening of the material placement position 72, so that the clamping mechanism 73 can clamp the blister tray and move it to facilitate the removal of TCO during processing. The lifting mechanism provided in the empty tray position 71 will place the empty blister tray into the empty tray position 71, so that processing can be carried out continuously and without interruption.

[0023] Further improvement, the empty tray position 71 and the feeding position 72 are both movable drawers 75 provided with positioning blocks 751. The positioning blocks 751 are arranged for positioning the placement of the blister tray in the movable drawer 75, so that the position of the blister tray placed in the movable drawer 75 is stable and reliable, and the position of the blister tray clamped and moved by the lifting mechanism remains unchanged each time, facilitating the horizontal movement of the blister tray clamped by the clamping mechanism 73. The arrangement of the movable drawer 75 makes it very convenient to replace the blister tray during processing.

[0024] Further improvement, the feeding transfer table 23 is a secondary positioning platform. The secondary positioning platform is provided with horizontal and vertical stop blocks for secondary positioning of the workpiece, which can avoid movement when the workpiece is placed on the transfer table, avoid errors in subsequent processing, and improve processing accuracy.

[0025] Further improvement, the laser welding unit is provided with a visual correction mechanism 331. The visual correction mechanism 331 includes a CCD visual detection module and a servo compensation mechanism based on the detection data to implement trajectory correction. The accurate fitting of TCO on the surface of the workpiece cell is realized by the guidance of the visual correction mechanism 331, so that the automatic welding operation is accurate and reliable.

[0026] Further improvement, the manipulator included in the displacement manipulator group 5 uses a vacuum suction head 51. For objects with smooth surfaces and irregular shapes, simply relying on the clamping of the manipulator can cause the object to slip off. The vacuum suction head 51 can generate negative pressure to adsorb the object, provide additional gripping force to ensure that the object does not fall off due to shaking or slight loosening of the manipulator during the carrying process, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the production process. At the same time, the vacuum suction head 51 can fix the object without generating excessive contact pressure, avoiding damage that may be caused by directly applying pressure.

[0027] Working principle of the utility model

[0028] The utility model discloses when using, workpiece is transported to the end with feeding belt 21, when moving to the end of feeding belt 21, the turnover manipulator 22 can make workpiece flexible and turn right and left, carry out turnover or do not turn over, the workpiece of the end will be moved to the loading transfer platform 23 in the straight manipulator of shift manipulator group 5 and carries out secondary positioning, so that the mechanical arm between loading transfer platform 23 and rotary workbench 31 can conveniently move workpiece, and the workpiece on rotary workbench 31 will be under the counterclockwise rotation of rotary workbench 31 in succession and be shaped to the pole ear of workpiece in the pole ear shaping unit 32, carry out TCO welding in laser welding unit 33, carry out detection to workpiece in electrical detection unit 34, and the mechanical arm between rotary workbench 31 and transfer platform moves to transfer platform, and the workpiece of passing detection will be transferred to unloading belt 42, enters next process, and the workpiece of not passing will be transferred to NG belt 43 and is collected.

[0029] When welding, laser welding unit 33 will take TCO from TCO feeding module 7, and the TCO taken will be placed on TCO positioning module 6 for positioning adjustment, the cylinder 61 and the clamping jaw 62 provided in the TCO positioning module 6 will automatically tear the film of the TCO, and the TCO that has completed adjustment and film tearing will be moved to the workpiece position to start welding work.

[0030] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not used for limiting the utility model, and any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the design concept of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
