[0005] The spray printing module comprises at least one nozzle mechanism;
[0006] The battery clamping mechanism is provided with one or more placing positions for placing the battery to be processed; the placing position is provided with an opening for exposing the end face of the battery to be processed; the spray range of each nozzle mechanism covers at least one opening.

When a plurality of nozzle mechanisms and pre-solidification devices are arranged alternately in the cover, in cooperation with the movement of the moving module or the movement of the battery to be processed itself, the surface spraying and pre-solidification of the same battery to be processed can be realized multiple times.
[0014] In some specific embodiments, a battery rotating mechanism is further arranged, which is connected to the battery clamping device and is used to drive the battery clamping device to flip, so that the end surfaces of the battery to be processed at both ends of the battery clamping device are exchanged.

A printing module is movably connected to a main frame via a moving mechanism, and one or more placement positions for placing batteries to be processed are provided on the battery clamping mechanism. Openings are provided in the placement positions to expose the end face of the battery, allowing at least one end face of the battery to be processed to be exposed relative to the printhead mechanism. The printing range of each printhead mechanism can cover the end face of at least one battery to be processed. By combining the main frame and the battery clamping mechanism, the printing efficiency for battery end faces is effectively improved, enabling the printing of various battery models and making the battery end-face printing process more automated.

[0037] Example
[0038] This embodiment provides a battery end-face printing device, which can effectively improve the printing efficiency on the battery end face, as detailed below:
[0039] A battery end face printing device includes a main frame 1, a moving mechanism 2, a printing module 3, and a battery clamping mechanism 4; the printing module 3 is movably connected to the main frame 1 via the moving mechanism 2, such as... Figure 1 As shown. The printing module 3 includes at least one printhead mechanism 31;
[0040] like Figure 7 As shown, the battery clamping mechanism 4 is provided with one or more placement positions 41 for placing the battery to be processed 5; the placement position 41 is provided with an opening 42 for exposing the end face 51 of the battery to be processed 5; the printing range of each print head mechanism 31 covers at least one opening 42.
[0041] In practical applications, by exposing the end face 51 of the battery 5 to be processed on the placement position 41 relative to the opening 42, the print head mechanism 31 can more accurately print on the end face 51 of the battery 5 to be processed, while reducing the impact on areas that do not need to be printed.
[0042] In some specific embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the printing module 3 also includes a cover 32; the cover 32 has an inlet 321 on the side facing the battery clamping mechanism 4, which allows the battery 5 to be processed on the battery clamping mechanism 4 to enter and exit the cover 32; the printhead mechanism 31 is disposed on the inner wall of the cover 32 at a position corresponding to at least one end face 51 of the battery 5 to be processed. In practical applications, by setting the cover 32 and placing the printhead mechanism 31 inside the cover 32, when the battery 5 to be processed is located inside the cover 32, the cover 32 can effectively block the influence of external airflow, dust and other external factors on the printing process, allowing the printhead to more accurately print ink or material onto both ends of the battery 5 to be processed. Furthermore, by forming a relatively stable semi-enclosed or fully enclosed internal space inside the cover 32, the environmental parameters such as temperature and humidity can be kept stable, avoiding the impact of changes in the external environment on the printing quality. A three-dimensional structural diagram of the cover 32 is shown below. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, Figure 2 and Figure 3 The enclosures 32 with different degrees of openness were shown respectively.
[0043] Furthermore, by limiting the printing range of the printing module 3 to within the cover 32, the amount of ink or material sprayed out of the cover 32 can be reduced when spraying materials on the battery surface, maximizing the adhesion of the sprayed material to the surface of the battery 5 to be treated, reducing ink or material waste, and lowering production costs.
[0044] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 5As shown, the printing module 3 is equipped with four printhead mechanisms 31, and a pre-curing device 33 is provided between adjacent printhead mechanisms 31. Each printhead mechanism 31 can print on the end faces 51 of three batteries 5 to be processed. The pre-curing device 33 includes a UV lamp, and after one printing cycle, the pre-curing device 33 can pre-cur the printed end faces 51 of the batteries 5 to be processed. In this case, the battery clamping device can clamp 12 batteries 5 to be processed, that is, the printing module 3 can simultaneously print and pre-cur the end faces 51 of 12 batteries 5 to be processed.
[0045] In some specific embodiments, the moving mechanism 2 includes a lifting module 21 mounted on the main frame 1; the nozzle mechanism 31 is connected to the lifting module 21, and the lifting module 21 is used to drive the nozzle mechanism 31 to move up and down along a preset first direction to approach or move away from the battery to be processed 5 on the battery clamping mechanism 4. In practical applications, the preset first direction can be perpendicular to the surface on the battery clamping mechanism 4 where the battery to be processed 5 is located, such as... Figure 5 Shown in the middle direction A.
[0046] In one specific embodiment, a sensing device 6 connected to the main frame 1 is also included, with one end of the sensing device 6 corresponding to the battery clamping device, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the sensor 6 is used to detect the battery 5 to be processed on the battery clamping device. In a specific application, when the sensor 6 detects the presence of the battery 5 to be processed at the corresponding position, it can further send the sensing signal to the printing module 3, so that the printing module 3 can promptly perform printing and pre-curing operations on the battery to be processed.
[0047] In some specific embodiments, the moving mechanism 2 includes a moving module 22; the moving module 22 is used to drive the printhead mechanism 31 of the printing module 3 to move along a preset second direction to pass over the end faces 51 of different batteries 5 to be processed. In one specific embodiment, the preset second direction is parallel to the moving direction of the batteries 5 to be processed at the workstation. The top view of the moving mechanism 2 is as follows... Figure 6 As shown, the preset second direction is as follows: Figure 5 As shown in the middle direction B.
[0048] In some specific embodiments, a pre-curing device 33 is also included. The pre-curing device 33 is located on the printing module 3 or the main frame 1 near the print head mechanism 31 and is used to pre-cur the end face 51 of the battery 5 to be processed.
[0049] In some specific embodiments, multiple pre-curing devices 33 and multiple printhead mechanisms 31 are arranged alternately. By setting up the pre-curing devices 33, the material printed on the surface of the battery 5 to be treated can be initially cured quickly. During subsequent printing, the new coating can also better bond with the pre-cured layer, avoiding displacement or deformation between coatings.
[0050] In a specific application, the moving module 22 moves the cover 32 relative to the battery 5 to be treated inside the cover 32. This allows the nozzle mechanism 31 and the pre-curing device 33 inside the cover 32 to sequentially print and pre-cur the surface material onto the same battery 5 inside the cover 32. When multiple nozzle mechanisms 31 and pre-curing devices 33 are arranged alternately inside the cover 32, multiple surface printing and pre-curing can be performed on the same battery 5 in conjunction with the movement of the moving module 22 or the movement of the battery 5 itself.
[0051] In practical applications, the battery 5 to be processed, especially cylindrical or cubic batteries, has two opposing end faces 51 that need to be processed. If the print head mechanism 31 is only located on one side in the printing module 3, printing can only be performed on one side of the battery 5 to be processed. Therefore, the battery needs to be rotated so that the print head mechanism 31 can print on the other side of the battery 5, or the position of the print head mechanism 31 in the printing module 3 needs to be adjusted so that it can print on the other side of the battery 5 to be processed.
[0052] In some specific embodiments, a battery rotation mechanism 43 is also included. The battery rotation mechanism 43 is connected to the battery clamping device and is used to drive the battery clamping device to rotate so that the end faces 51 of the two ends of the battery to be processed in the battery clamping device exchange positions.
[0053] In some specific embodiments, the printing module 3 further includes a rotary drive device; one end of the rotary drive device is connected to the main frame 1 and the other end is connected to the cover 32, which is used to drive the cover 32 to rotate relative to the battery clamping mechanism 4. Specifically, it can rotate 180 degrees in the horizontal direction so that the print head mechanism 31 inside the cover 32 can correspond to different end faces 51 of the battery to be processed, so as to realize the processing of different end faces 51 of the battery to be processed by the same print head mechanism 31.
[0054] In some specific embodiments, the nozzle mechanism 31 includes a rectangular nozzle and / or a circular nozzle. By setting nozzles of various shapes, it is possible to adapt to the shape of different battery models.
[0055] In some specific embodiments, the printing module 3 further includes a printing adjustment mechanism; the printing adjustment mechanism is connected to the printhead mechanism 31 and is used to adjust the printing range of the printhead mechanism 31. In practical applications, by setting the printing adjustment mechanism, the printing range of the printhead mechanism 31 on the battery surface can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual printing situation.
[0056] This embodiment proposes a battery end-face printing device. A printing module is movably connected to a main frame via a moving mechanism. The printing module includes at least one printhead mechanism. A battery clamping mechanism has one or more placement positions for placing batteries to be processed. At least one end face of the battery to be processed is exposed at each placement position corresponding to the printhead mechanism. The printing range of each printhead mechanism covers at least one end face of the battery to be processed. By coordinating the main frame and the battery clamping mechanism, the printing efficiency for battery end faces is effectively improved, enabling the printing of various battery models and making the battery end-face printing process more automated.
[0057] The above is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. However, the present utility model is not limited to the embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present utility model. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
