[0047] The electric pile assembling and detecting device provided by the embodiments of the present application comprises a rack 1, a pressing mechanism 2 and a screw tightening mechanism 3. The rack 1 is provided with a stacking position 10 for stacking battery monomers 110. The stacked battery monomers 110 are connected by a screw 130 to form an electric pile 100. The pressing mechanism 2 is arranged on the rack 1 and is used to apply pressure to the stacked battery monomers 110. The screw tightening mechanism 3 is used to tighten the screw 130. The screw tightening mechanism 3 comprises a mechanical hand 31 and an electric wrench 32. The operating end of the mechanical hand 31 is connected to the electric wrench 32 and can drive the electric wrench 32 to move within the range of the stacking position 10 or to avoid the stacking position 10. Optionally, the mechanical hand 31 can be a four-axis mechanical hand, a five-axis mechanical hand, a six-axis mechanical hand or a mechanical hand with more axes.

[0048] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, the rack 1 comprises a base 11 and a plurality of columns 12 which are arranged on the base 11 in a spaced manner and cooperate with the base 11 to enclose the stacking position 10. The manipulator 31 is arranged outside the base 11 and the plurality of columns 12, and the electric wrench 32 can be driven to extend into the stacking position 10 between the two columns 12 to screw the screw rod 130. The battery monomer 110 and the end plate 120 and other components to be assembled are also placed into the stacking position 10 between the two columns 12. Specifically, the columns 12 are arranged in four, and the four columns are arranged in a quadrilateral shape.

[0049] In some embodiments, the screw rod tightening mechanism 3 is arranged in at least two groups, and the at least two groups of screw rod tightening mechanisms 3 are arranged in a spaced manner around the stacking position 10. By the at least two groups of screw rod tightening mechanisms 3, the screw rod 130 can be screwed at the same time, which has high working efficiency; at the same time, each group of screw rod tightening mechanisms 3 is responsible for the screwing of part of the screw rod 130, and the electric wrench 32 does not need to pass through the pressing mechanism 2 to screw the screw rod 130 on the other side. In the embodiments of the present application, the screw rod tightening mechanism 3 is arranged in two groups, which are arranged on opposite sides of the base 11.

[0050] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 The pressing mechanism 2 comprises a pressing plate 21 and a pressing driving member 22. The pressing plate 21 is arranged on one side of the battery stack 100 along the stacking direction, and one surface of the pressing plate 21 is perpendicular to the stacking direction of the battery monomer 110. The fixed end of the pressing driving member 22 is arranged on the rack 1, and the driving member of the pressing driving member 22 is connected to the pressing plate 21, which can drive the pressing plate 21 to reciprocate along the stacking direction of the battery monomer 110. The pressing driving member 22 can be a linear driving structure such as an electric cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder or an electric ball screw module. The stacking direction refers to the up-down direction, and the battery monomer 110 is stacked in sequence from bottom to top; the pressing plate 21 is arranged horizontally to vertically press the end plate 120 on the upper side.

[0051] Before the battery monomer 110 is stacked, the pressing plate 21 is driven by the pressing driving member 22 to move upward to provide a space for the stacking of the battery monomer 110, which facilitates the external carrying device or manual operation to carry and stack the battery monomer 110. When pressing is needed, the pressing plate 21 is driven by the pressing driving member 22 to move downward.

[0052] In order to ensure the accuracy of the pressure applied to the battery stack 100, the pressing mechanism 2 further comprises a pressure sensor (not shown in the figure) arranged on the side of the pressing plate 21 facing the battery stack 100, which is used to sense the pressing force of the pressing plate 21 on the battery stack 100, so as to stop the downward movement of the pressing plate 21 when the pressing force reaches the required pressure value.

[0053] Optionally, the pressing plate 21 is set with a downward stroke value according to the pressing force requirement of different stacks 100, and the pressing plate 21 stops moving when it reaches the set stroke value. The stroke value of the pressing plate 21 and the pressure value sensed by the pressure sensor are subjected to logical judgment, and when both of them meet the set value, it is judged that the pressure on the stack 100 meets the requirement. If either the stroke value or the pressure value fails to meet the set requirement, it is judged that the pressure on the stack 100 does not meet the requirement. Through the cooperation of the stroke value and the pressure value, the size and pressure accuracy requirements of the stack 100 are ensured.

[0054] In order to facilitate the installation of the pressing driving member 22, the pressing mechanism 2 further comprises a mounting plate 23 arranged on the rack 1, and the fixed end of the pressing driving member 22 is connected to the mounting plate 23, and the pressing plate 21 is located on the side of the mounting plate 23 facing the stacking position 10. Specifically, the driving end of the pressing driving member 22 extends from the lower side of the mounting plate 23 to connect the pressing plate 21.

[0055] Optionally, the mounting plate 23 is movably connected to the rack 1 along the stacking direction of the battery monomer 110 and can be stopped at a preset position. For different heights of the stack 100, the relative distance between the pressing plate 21 and the stack 100 can be adjusted by adjusting the mounting plate 23 up and down, so as to improve the application range of the pressing mechanism 2.

[0056] Specifically, the mounting plate 23 is provided with sliding holes at four corners, and the column 12 is slidingly arranged in the sliding hole, so that the mounting plate 23 can slide along the column 12. The mounting plate 23 is further provided with pin holes communicating with the sliding holes, and the limit pin is screwed into the pin hole, so that the limit pin abuts against the column 12 to limit the sliding of the mounting plate 23 along the column 12, thereby stopping the mounting plate 23 at the preset position. Of course, in other embodiments, other limiting structures can also be used to limit the sliding of the mounting plate 23 along the column 12, which is not limited herein.

[0057] Further, the pressing mechanism 2 further comprises a protection plate 24 arranged on the side of the mounting plate 23 away from the pressing plate 21, and the protection plate 24 is connected to the column 12. The protection plate 24 is provided with a through hole, and the top end of the pressing driving member 22 is arranged in the through hole. When the mounting plate 23 moves up and down, the pressing driving member 22 moves up and down along the through hole, and the protection plate 24 plays a role of guiding and protecting the fixed end of the pressing driving member 22, which is beneficial to improve the stability and safety of the up and down movement of the pressing driving member 22.

[0058] In combination with FIGS. 1-4, Figure 1 and Figure 3 as shown, Figure 3A partial structure schematic diagram of the screw tightening mechanism 3 in some embodiments of the present application is shown. The screw tightening mechanism 3 further comprises a vision system 33 arranged at the fixed end of the robot arm 31, for identifying the position of the screw 130. By arranging the vision system 33, the position of the screw 130 is accurately identified, so that the electric wrench 32 can be quickly positioned to the screw 130.

[0059] Optionally, the vision system 33 comprises a camera for taking a picture of the battery monomer 110 and the screw 130 in the stacking position 10. After the camera takes the picture, the accurate position information of the screw 130 is sent to the robot arm 31 through model comparison and calculation. After the robot arm 31 obtains the accurate position, the electric wrench 32 is driven to move to the position and is sleeved on the nut of the screw 130, and the nut is started to be tightened.

[0060] In combination with Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, Figure 4 A structure schematic diagram of the air tightness detection mechanism 4 provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. In some embodiments, the electric pile assembling and detecting device further comprises an air tightness detection mechanism 4 arranged on the rack 1 or the pressing mechanism 2, for detecting the air tightness of the electric pile 100. Specifically, the end plate 120 on the upper side is provided with an air hole 140, and the air tightness detection mechanism 4 detects the air tightness of the electric pile 100 by communicating with the air hole 140.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present application, the air tightness detection mechanism 4 is connected to the side of the mounting plate 23 facing the base 11, so as to be able to move up and down with the mounting plate 23, and is adapted to electric piles 100 of different heights.

[0062] In some embodiments, the air tightness detection mechanism 4 comprises a plug 41, a driving member and a gas supply device. The plug 41 is used to butt joint with the air hole 140 of the electric pile 100. The fixed end of the driving member is connected to the rack 1 or the pressing mechanism 2, specifically to the mounting plate 23. The driving end of the driving member is connected to the plug 41 and can drive the plug 41 to move along the stacking direction of the battery monomer 110 and in the plane perpendicular to the stacking direction of the battery monomer 110. The gas supply device is connected in communication with the plug 41 through a connecting pipeline 44, for supplying gas to the plug 41.

[0063] During air tightness detection, the plug 41 is driven by the driving member to move to the air hole 140, so that the plug 41 is connected to the air hole 140. The electromagnetic valve of the air hole 140 is opened to open the air hole 140, so that the plug 41 is in communication with the internal gas path of the electric pile 100. Then, inert gas is filled into the electric pile 100 until the test pressure is reached. After that, the air pressure in the electric pile 100 is detected to test the air tightness of the electric pile 100.

[0064] In some embodiments, the driving member includes a first driving member 42 and a second driving member 43. The first driving member 42 is configured to drive the plug 41 to reciprocate along the stacking direction of the battery monomers 110, so as to move the plug 41 close to or away from the battery stack 100. The second driving member 43 is configured to drive the plug 41 to move in a plane perpendicular to the stacking direction of the battery monomers 110, so as to move the plug 41 in the plane of the end plate 120 to align with the air hole 140. Optionally, the first driving member 42 and the second driving member 43 are gas cylinders or electric cylinders.

[0065] Specifically, the air tightness detection mechanism 4 further includes a first connecting member 46 fixedly connected to the bottom side of the mounting plate 23. The fixed end of the first driving member 42 is slidingly connected to the first connecting member 46, and the driving end of the first driving member 42 is connected to the plug 41. By sliding the fixed end of the first driving member 42 along the first connecting member 46, the plug 41 is moved in a plane perpendicular to the stacking direction of the battery monomers 110, i.e., horizontally.

[0066] The fixed end of the second driving member 43 is connected to the bottom side of the mounting plate 23, and the driving end of the second driving member 43 is connected to the fixed end of the first driving member 42 and drives the fixed end of the first driving member 42 to slide along the first connecting member 46, thereby realizing the horizontal movement of the plug 41.

[0067] In order to improve the stability of the horizontal movement of the plug 41, the air tightness detection mechanism 4 further includes a guide chain 45 connected to the fixed end of the first driving member 42 and the first connecting member 46, which provides a guide for the horizontal movement of the first driving member 42 to improve the stability of the movement of the first driving member 42.

[0068] Specifically, one end of the guide chain 45 is connected to the fixed end of the first driving member 42 through a second connecting member 47. At the same time, the connecting pipeline 44 is connected to the second connecting member 47 to support the connecting pipeline 44 through the second connecting member 47, so that the arrangement of the connecting pipeline 44 is stable and orderly.

[0069] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined in any manner. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described, but as long as the combinations of the technical features do not exist, they should be considered as the scope of the present application.

[0070] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation manners of the present application, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation on the patent scope of the application. It should be noted that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, some modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of the present application should be subject to the appended claims.
