Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of lead-acid battery production and processing technology, specifically relating to an integrated tooling for drilling holes in battery slots. Background Technology

[0002] The multiple cells in a battery need to be connected. Currently, through-wall welding is widely used. This involves drilling holes in the partitions between the cells in the battery casing and welding the busbars of each cell together through these holes to achieve series connection of the cluster. The battery casing is made of plastic, and after drilling, burrs remain at the edges of the holes.

[0003] Residual burrs at the holes in the shell will affect the welding quality of subsequent clusters. The current method is to manually remove the burrs from the holes after drilling, which increases the construction process, is inefficient, and cannot be adapted to mass production.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a tooling that integrates drilling and deburring on the battery casing separator is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides an integrated tooling for drilling battery slots, which can complete drilling and deburring in one station, thereby improving processing efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: an integrated tooling for drilling holes in a battery slot, comprising:

[0007] The connecting frame is used to connect with external system equipment and provide a load-bearing base for tooling;

[0008] A three-axis servo manipulator, wherein the fixed end of the three-axis servo manipulator is fixed to the connecting frame;

[0009] A fixed-distance rod holder, which is fixed to the free end of the three-axis servo manipulator;

[0010] A nailing mechanism, which is fixed to one end of the spacer and used to create holes in the battery housing separator;

[0011] A burr removal assembly is fixed to the other end of the fixed-distance rod seat. The burr removal assembly is equipped with a hot air blower. The hot air blown out by the hot air blower removes the burrs remaining on the machining holes of the previous battery casing.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: A three-axis servo manipulator is used to control the working positions of the nailing mechanism and the deburring component. The added fixed-distance rod seat is used to simultaneously connect the nailing mechanism and the deburring component. It is understood that the deburring component and the nailing mechanism do not process the same battery casing simultaneously. Instead, the deburring component removes burrs from the holes in the battery casing processed by the previous nailing mechanism. Specifically, the battery casing is on a conveyor line. The previous battery casing is first drilled by the nailing mechanism, and then the drilled battery casing moves under the drive of the conveyor line. At this time, the deburring component removes burrs from the holes in the battery casing, thus achieving an integrated process of drilling and deburring. While the nailing mechanism is drilling, the deburring component removes burrs from the previous battery casing, eliminating the need for additional deburring steps and improving the processing efficiency of the battery casing's partition holes.

[0013] Preferably, the length of the spacer is an integer multiple of the distance between adjacent partitions inside the battery casing, and the length direction of the spacer corresponds to the processing and movement direction of the battery casing.

[0014] The resulting technical effect is that the purpose of the fixed-distance rod seat is to control the processing position between the nail hole mechanism and the burr removal component, so that the nail hole mechanism and the burr removal component can process the two battery housings at the same time. It can be understood that the burr removal component is actually processing the hole burrs on the previous battery housing by following the trace.

[0015] Preferably, the nailing mechanism includes a base, a telescopic cylinder, a drive arm, a positioning clamp, and a drilling head. The base is a right-angle base, fixed to one edge of the fixed-distance rod base. The telescopic cylinder is fixed to the top of the base, and the positioning clamp is fixed to the side of the base. The drive arm is a bent arm, with one end hinged to the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder and the other edge hinged to the positioning clamp. The drilling head is vertically fixed to the other end of the drive arm, and the positioning clamp has a clearance slot through which the drilling head passes.

[0016] The resulting technical effect is that, in actual use, the telescopic cylinder is a pneumatic telescopic cylinder, which drives the other end of the drive arm to swing, thereby completing the drilling process of the drilling head. The positioning clamp can position the partition on the battery casing, thus facilitating stable drilling by the drilling head.

[0017] Preferably, the bottom end of the positioning clamp is provided with a channel for the partition plate to enter, the two ends of the channel respectively penetrate the two sides of the positioning clamp, and the clearance slot penetrates the two walls of the channel.

[0018] The resulting technical effect is that the partitions on the battery casing can enter the channels, thereby stabilizing the position of the partitions.

[0019] Preferably, the bottom end of the positioning clamp corresponding to the channel is provided with a slope to facilitate the introduction of the battery case partition.

[0020] The resulting technical effect is that the slope setting can reduce the error of the three-axis servo robot and avoid the impact of irregular partition position on the drilling action. On this basis, the partitions on the battery casing that need to be drilled can enter the channel to wait for drilling.

[0021] Preferably, the burr removal assembly includes an air duct, a heater, and a hot air blower. One end of the air duct is connected to an external air supply source, and the other end of the air duct is connected to the hot air blower. The heater is fixed to the other end of the fixed-distance rod seat, and the hot air blower is fixed to the heater. The air in the air duct is heated by the heater and then blown out by the hot air blower.

[0022] The resulting technical effect is that the air duct is connected to an external air supply source to provide ambient temperature air. Under the heating of the heater, the ambient temperature air is heated to a certain temperature and blown out through the hot air blower, thereby heating and melting the residual burrs on the holes. In specific implementation, the temperature of the heater needs to be set appropriately to avoid the temperature being too high and affecting the battery casing, or the temperature being too low and failing to complete the deburring work.

[0023] Preferably, the hot air blower is a heat-resistant rigid tube, and the bottom end of the hot air blower is provided with an air outlet facing the hole in the battery casing partition.

[0024] The resulting technical effect is that the hot air blower can be made of alloy tube, and the blower nozzle can blow hot air towards the hole to accurately remove burrs on the hole. Attached Figure Description

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] See appendix to this utility model Figures 1 to 3 According to an embodiment of the present invention, an integrated tooling for drilling holes in a battery slot includes:

[0031] Connecting frame 1 is used to connect with external system equipment and provide a load-bearing base for tooling;

[0032] The fixed end of the three-axis servo robot 2 is fixed on the connecting frame 1;

[0033] The fixed-distance rod 3 is fixed to the free end of the three-axis servo robot 2. The fixed-distance rod 3 can move up and down, left and right, and forward and backward under the drive of the three-axis servo robot.

[0034] The nailing mechanism 4 is fixed to one end of the spacer 3 and is used to open holes in the battery housing separator.

[0035] The burr removal component 5 is fixed to the other end of the spacer rod 3. The burr removal component 5 is equipped with a hot air blower 53. The hot air blown out by the hot air blower 53 removes the burrs remaining on the machining holes of the previous battery casing.

[0036] In other embodiments, the length of the spacer 3 is greater than the length of the battery housing, and the length direction of the spacer 3 corresponds to the processing movement direction of the battery housing. This facilitates the burr removal component to follow the trace and process the battery housing of the previous drilling action.

[0037] In other embodiments, the nailing mechanism 4 includes a base 41, a telescopic cylinder 42, a drive arm 43, a positioning clamp 44, and a drilling head 45. The base 41 is a right-angled base and is fixed to one end edge of the spacer rod 3. The telescopic cylinder 42 is fixed to the top of the base 41, and the positioning clamp 44 is fixed to the side of the base 41. The drive arm 43 is a bent arm, with one end of the drive arm 43 hinged to the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder 42 and the other end edge hinged to the positioning clamp 44. The drilling head 45 is fixed vertically (corresponding to the swing direction of the drive arm) to the other end of the drive arm 43. The positioning clamp 44 is provided with a clearance slot 47 through which the drilling head 45 passes. The drilling head is a cylindrical head or an elliptical cylinder head to achieve target drilling.

[0038] In some other specific embodiments, the bottom end of the positioning clamp 44 is provided with a channel 46 for the partition to enter. The two ends of the channel 46 respectively penetrate the two sides of the positioning clamp 44, and the clearance slot penetrates the two walls of the channel 46. The channel can position the partition so as to facilitate stable drilling by the drilling head.

[0039] In some other embodiments, the bottom end of the positioning clamp 44 corresponding to the channel 46 is provided with a slope to facilitate the introduction of the battery housing partition, so as to reduce the influence of the robot arm's error and ensure that the battery housing partition is smoothly introduced into the channel to wait for drilling.

[0040] In some other specific embodiments, the burr removal component 5 includes a duct 51, a heater 52, and a hot air blower 53. One end of the duct 51 is connected to an external air supply source, and the other end of the duct 51 is connected to the hot air blower 53. The heater 52 is fixed to the other end of the spacer 3, and the hot air blower 53 is fixed to the heater 52. The air in the duct 51 is heated by the heater and then blown out by the hot air blower. The principle of deburring is thermal deburring. Since the battery casing is made of plastic, after drilling, burrs remain on the edge of the hole. High-temperature air is used to remove the burrs.

[0041] In some other embodiments, the hot air blower 53 is a heat-resistant rigid tube, and the bottom end of the hot air blower 53 is provided with an air outlet facing the hole in the battery casing separator. In specific implementations, the air outlet faces the direction of the hole.

[0042] Work process:

[0043] The battery casing moves from right to left in the diagram. After reaching the drilling station, the machine head formed by the spacer, the drilling mechanism, and the deburring component descends, and the punch moves to drill holes. After drilling, the battery casing moves downstream to the deburring station. The deburring component blows hot air to remove the burrs. It should be noted that the deburring component processes the burrs remaining on the holes of the previous battery casing. This process can complete both drilling and deburring in one step, integrating drilling and deburring. Compared with manual deburring, this method is more efficient and improves production efficiency.
