Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery cell barcode adjustment technology, specifically to a battery cell barcode position adjustment device. Background Technology

[0002] With the booming development of new energy technologies and applications, the production scale of lithium batteries is constantly expanding. As a clean and environmentally friendly energy source, batteries are widely used. Among them, battery cells are the most commonly used energy storage carriers. After the battery cells are manufactured, they need to be coded, and the barcodes need to be scanned by a CCD camera when they leave the factory for subsequent traceability.

[0003] However, when the battery cell is transported to the CCD camera for scanning, the barcode on the cell is shifted due to the rotation during transport, and is not facing the CCD camera, making it difficult for the CCD camera to scan and affecting the scanning efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: to provide a battery cell barcode position adjustment device, comprising:

[0005] A carrier plate, used to hold battery cells;

[0006] A support frame, on which two pairs of support plates are slidably connected, and the support plates are connected to telescopic cylinders;

[0007] The support frame is also provided with at least one set of rotating components. The rotating components include a rotating motor and a first support shaft. The output shaft of the rotating motor is connected to a second support shaft corresponding to the first support shaft. The first support shaft is rotatably mounted on the support plate. The rotating motor and the first support shaft in the same group are located on different support plates, and the rotating motors of two adjacent sets of rotating components are located on different support plates. The rotating motor is used to drive the barcode on the corresponding battery cell to rotate. The telescopic cylinder is used to drive the second support shaft and the first support shaft to abut against the two ends of the axial direction of the corresponding battery cell, respectively.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a CCD industrial camera, which is used to scan the barcode on the battery cell, and the rotating motor is used to drive the corresponding barcode on the battery cell to rotate to correspond with the CCD industrial camera.

[0009] Furthermore, both the second support shaft and the first support shaft are provided with rubber blocks.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a conveying assembly, which includes a moving cylinder and a mounting plate 1 disposed at the output end of the moving cylinder. The mounting plate 1 is connected to a lifting cylinder, and the output end of the lifting cylinder is connected to a carrier plate.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a frame for mounting the support plate, the frame having a through slot for the carrier plate to pass through, and both ends of the through slot in the width direction having a placement slot for placing the power supply core.

[0012] Furthermore, the frame is provided with a limiting frame, which is used to limit the height at which the battery cell is raised.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a synchronization component mounted on the frame. The synchronization component includes a rotating frame and multiple rotating shafts respectively mounted at both ends of the slot width direction, as well as a synchronous motor. Multiple rollers corresponding to the rotating shafts are rotatably mounted on the rotating frame. The rollers and rotating shafts are used to support the battery cells. The rotating shafts are coaxially connected to a synchronous gear. The output shaft of the synchronous motor is coaxially connected to a drive gear. The synchronous gear and the drive gear are connected by a synchronous belt. The synchronous motor is used to drive each battery cell to rotate synchronously.

[0014] Furthermore, multiple support wheels are rotatably connected to the frame, and the support wheels are in contact with the timing belt.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a leveling cylinder mounted on the frame. The leveling cylinder is located at the rear end of the conveying assembly in the conveying direction. The output end of the leveling cylinder is provided with a push plate. The leveling cylinder is used to drive the push plate to push the ends of multiple battery cells to be on the same straight line.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By incorporating telescopic cylinders and rotary motors, when scanning the barcode on the battery cell, two telescopic cylinders drive the same set of support shafts, namely support shaft one and support shaft two, to abut against the two ends of the battery cell's axial direction. The rotary motor then rotates the corresponding battery cell, causing the barcode on the cell to rotate to a suitable position, facilitating scanning by the CCD industrial camera and improving scanning efficiency. Simultaneously, the staggered arrangement of the rotary motors on the two support plates reduces the space occupied by the battery cells and rotary motors, and facilitates reducing the distance between adjacent battery cells, thus making it easier to clamp multiple battery cells together.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution, and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. This drawing is a simplified schematic diagram, illustrating only the basic aspects of the present utility model, and therefore only shows the components relevant to the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 This utility model provides a battery cell barcode position adjustment device 100, including a carrier plate 10, a CCD industrial camera 20, a support frame 30, and a frame 40. The carrier plate 10 is used to place the battery cell 200, and the CCD industrial camera 20 is used to scan the barcode on the battery cell 200. Specifically, the carrier plate 10 is provided with a placement slot 11 adapted to the battery cell 200.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3The frame 40 has a through slot 41 for the carrier plate 10 to pass through. Both ends of the through slot 41 in the width direction are provided with placement slots 42 for placing the battery cell 200. A limiting frame 43 is provided on the frame 40 to limit the height of the battery cell 200. Specifically, in this embodiment, the limiting frame 43 is a "U"-shaped frame, positioned above the carrier plate 10. Multiple placement slots 42 are sequentially arranged along the length of the frame 40, corresponding to the barcode scanning and flattening processes of the battery cell 200.

[0029] For further details, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The battery cell barcode position adjustment device 100 also includes a conveying assembly 50, the conveying direction of which is from... Figure 1 The synchronization component 60 points towards the support frame 30. The conveying component 50 includes a moving cylinder 51 and a mounting plate 52 disposed at the output end of the moving cylinder 51. A lifting cylinder 53 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 52. The output end of the lifting cylinder 53 is fixedly connected to the carrier plate 10. The lifting cylinder 53 is used to drive the battery cell 200 to rise to correspond with the second support shaft 332 and the first support shaft 333. The moving cylinder 51 is used to drive the carrier plate 10 to move. Specifically, in this embodiment, there are two mounting plates 52 and two lifting cylinders 53 along the length direction of the frame 40.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 Two paired support plates 31 are slidably connected to the support frame 30. The support plates 31 are connected to telescopic cylinders 32. The support frame 30 is provided with at least one set of rotating components 33. The output end of the telescopic cylinder 32 is connected to the corresponding support plate 31. Each set of rotating components 33 corresponds to one battery cell 200. The rotating component 33 includes a rotating motor 331 and a first support shaft 333. The output shaft of the rotating motor 331 is coaxially connected to a second support shaft 332 corresponding to the first support shaft 332. The first support shaft 333 is rotatably mounted on the support plate 31. The rotating motor 331 and the first support shaft 333 in the same set are located on different support plates 31, and the rotating motors 331 of two adjacent sets of rotating components 33 are located on different support plates 31. The rotating motor 331 is used to drive the barcode on the corresponding battery cell 200 to rotate to correspond with the CCD industrial camera 20. The telescopic cylinder 32 is used to drive the second support shaft 332 and the corresponding first support shaft 333 to abut against the two ends of the axial direction of the battery cell 200, respectively. Specifically, in this embodiment, three rotating motors 331 and three support shafts 333 are connected to each of the two support plates 31. The support plates 31 and the support shafts 333 are rotatably connected by bearings 311. The rotating motors 331 and the support shafts 333 on the same support plate 31 are spaced apart.

[0031] Under normal circumstances, each end of a battery cell 200 requires two rotating motors 331 for support, increasing the space occupied. Furthermore, since the rotating motors 331 are typically larger than the battery cell 200, the distance between adjacent battery cells 200 increases to facilitate placement of the motors 331, making it difficult to clamp multiple battery cells 200 together. However, in this invention, by spaced-apart rotating motors 331 and support shafts 333, and with the rotating motors 331 on the two support plates 31 staggered, the number of rotating motors 331 required to support and drive the battery cell 200 to rotate is reduced to half of the normal requirement. This reduces the space occupied by the battery cell 200 and rotating motors 331, and facilitates reducing the distance between adjacent battery cells 200, thus making it easier to clamp multiple battery cells 200 together.

[0032] When scanning the barcode on the battery cell 200, the battery cell 200 is first moved to a position corresponding to the CCD industrial camera 20 by the moving cylinder 51, and then moved to a position corresponding to the support shafts 332 and 333 by the lifting cylinder 53. The two telescopic cylinders 32 drive the support shafts 332 and 333 to abut against the two ends of the battery cell 200 along its axial direction. Then, the rotating motor 331 rotates the corresponding battery cell 200, causing the barcode on the battery cell 200 to face the CCD industrial camera 20, facilitating scanning and improving scanning efficiency.

[0033] For further details, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 Both support shaft 2 332 and support shaft 1 333 are equipped with rubber blocks 3321, which are located at the ends of support shaft 2 332 and support shaft 1 333 near the battery cell 200. The rubber blocks 3321 reduce the possibility of damage to the battery cell 200 due to excessive force applied by support shaft 2 332 and support shaft 1 333 when they are pressed against the battery cell 200.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3The cell barcode position adjustment device 100 also includes a synchronization component 60 mounted on the frame 40. The synchronization component 60 typically works in conjunction with a coding machine in the prior art to adjust the position on the cell 200 that needs to be coded. The coding machine is typically mounted on one side of the frame 40 and corresponds to the synchronization component 60. The type of coding machine is not limited and is not shown in the figure. The synchronization component 60 includes a rotating frame 61 and multiple rotating shafts 62 respectively mounted at both ends of the width direction of the through slot 41, as well as a synchronous motor 63. Multiple rollers 611 corresponding to the rotating shafts 62 are rotatably mounted on the rotating frame 61. Both the rollers 611 and the rotating shafts 62 are used to support the cell 200. The rotating shafts 62 are coaxially connected to a synchronous gear 621. The output shaft of the synchronous motor 63 is coaxially connected to a drive gear (not shown in the figure). The synchronous gear 621 and the drive gear are connected by a synchronous belt 64. The synchronous motor 63 is used to drive each cell 200 to rotate synchronously. Furthermore, multiple support rollers 44 are rotatably connected to the frame 40, and the support rollers 44 are in contact with the timing belt 64. The support rollers 44 support the timing belt 64, thereby increasing the tension of the timing belt 64.

[0035] The synchronous motor 63 drives multiple battery cells 200 to rotate synchronously via the synchronous belt 64, so that the marking area on each battery cell 200 is rotated to face upwards, so as to cooperate with the marking machine and facilitate marking the battery cells 200.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The battery cell barcode position adjustment device 100 also includes a flattening cylinder 70 mounted on the frame 40. The flattening cylinder 70 is located at the rear end of the conveying assembly 50 in the conveying direction. The output end of the flattening cylinder 70 is provided with a push plate 71. The flattening cylinder 70 is used to drive the push plate 71 to push the ends of multiple battery cells 200 to be aligned on the same straight line. Specifically, in this embodiment, the flattening cylinder 70 is fixedly connected to one end of the frame 40 in the width direction. The frame 40 is provided with a sliding groove 45 for the push plate 71 to slide. The height of the side of the frame 40 facing the flattening cylinder 70 is higher than the height of the battery cells 200, so as to cooperate with the flattening cylinder 70 to push the ends of multiple battery cells 200 to be aligned on the same straight line, which is convenient for the robot arm in subsequent processes to clamp them.
