Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automated assembly technology, and in particular to an attachment mechanism and assembly equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In existing product manufacturing processes, it is often necessary to attach components such as foam and tape to the product surface to achieve corresponding functions such as assembly, energy transfer, or protective covering.

[0003] For example, during the battery pack manufacturing process, thermally conductive foam needs to be attached to the battery pack so that the temperature of the battery pack surface can be transferred (i.e., heat transfer) to the temperature sensor of the CCS (cells contact system) through the thermally conductive foam, thereby realizing the battery pack temperature acquisition and control function. Therefore, the installation quality of the thermally conductive foam has a great impact on the CCS's ability to acquire battery pack temperature.

[0004] In traditional production processes, the mounting of components such as thermally conductive foam involves fixing the product with a fixture and then manually mounting it. This not only results in low mounting efficiency but also fails to guarantee accurate mounting of the components. Furthermore, different operators apply different mounting pressure and techniques, which cannot ensure the consistency of the product mounting and affects the mounting quality. Utility Model Content

[0053] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0054] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of this application. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed.

[0055] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used in the text to describe the relative position or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature, as shown in the figure. These relative terms include, for example, "inside," "outside," "middle," "outer," "below," "below," "above," "front," "back," etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation, other than those depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure undergoes a positional flip, orientation change, or change of motion, these directional indications will change accordingly. For instance, an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" will subsequently be oriented "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features." Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions), and the spatial relative descriptors used in the text will be interpreted accordingly.

[0056] To address the technical problems of low efficiency and unreliable mounting quality when manually attaching the component 10 in the prior art, this application provides an attachment mechanism and assembly equipment. The attachment mechanism includes a first sliding member 1 and a second sliding member 2 connected to a drive assembly 3. First, the positioning part 11 of the first sliding member 1 is used to position the component 10 to be attached to the product 20. Then, the second sliding member 2 pushes the component 10 out of the positioning part 11, realizing automatic attachment of the component 10. This improves the attachment efficiency and ensures accurate adhesion between the component 10 and the product 20. The drive assembly 3 controls the attachment force and position, effectively ensuring the attachment quality of the component 10.

[0057] Please see Figures 1 to 11 The first aspect of this application provides an attachment mechanism, including a first slider 1, a second slider 2, and a driving assembly 3. The first slider 1 is provided with a positioning part 11 and a sliding cavity 12. The positioning part 11 is disposed at one end of the first slider 1 and can be used to position and cooperate with the mating part 201 on the product 20 to be attached, thereby achieving the positioning of the attachment part. The sliding cavity 12 is disposed through the positioning part 11, and the second slider 2 is slidably disposed in the sliding cavity 12. An attachment component 10 is provided at the end of the second slider 2 near the positioning part 11, so that the second slider 2 can push the attachment component 10 out of the sliding cavity 12 to the position of the positioning part 11, thereby achieving precise positioning and attachment between the attachment component 10 and the product 20 to be attached. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 11 As shown.

[0058] The drive component 3 is connected to the first slider 1 and the second slider 2 respectively, and can be used to realize the sliding drive of the first slider 1 and the second slider 2, thereby realizing the automatic positioning and automatic placement of the attachment mechanism. By using the drive component 3 to control the placement force and placement position, the production efficiency of the placement process can be greatly improved.

[0059] It should be noted that the positioning part 11 and the mating part 201 are preferably in a concave-convex fit. The positioning part 11 and the mating part 201 have the same cross-sectional shape, which can be polygonal, circular or elliptical, etc. As long as the accurate fitting between the positioning part 11 and the mating part 201 can be achieved, the purpose of this application can be achieved.

[0060] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7 The positioning part 11 is a cylindrical structure protruding from one end of the first sliding member 1, so as to facilitate the insertion of the positioning part 11 into the mating part 201 on the surface of the product 20 to be attached, thereby achieving a concave-convex positioning fit. The cylindrical structure communicates with the sliding cavity 12, so that when the attaching part 10 is pushed out, it is within the mounting range positioned by the positioning part 11, thereby improving the mounting position accuracy of the attaching part 10.

[0061] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 The cross-sections of the cylindrical structure and the sliding cavity 12 are matched with those of the attachment component 10 to avoid large gaps between the attachment component 10 and the inner wall of the cylindrical structure or the inner wall of the sliding cavity 12. The attachment component 10 can be slidably guided by the inner wall of the cylindrical structure and the inner wall of the sliding cavity 12.

[0062] In the above embodiment, the first slider 1 and the second slider 2 can be two top blocks nested inside and outside, with the second slider 2 being the inner top block and the first slider 1 being the outer top block. By sliding the second slider 2 from the sliding cavity 12 of the first slider 1, the attachment component 10 at the end of the second slider 2 can be pushed out, thereby realizing the automatic attachment between the attachment component 10 and the product 20 to be attached.

[0063] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 The attaching mechanism also includes a detection component 4, which is disposed corresponding to one end of the second slider 2 near the positioning part 11. It is used to detect the feeding status of the attaching component 10 and avoid the situation where the attaching component 10 is missing.

[0064] It should be noted that the detection component 4 preferably uses a non-contact method to detect the feeding status of the attachment component 10, such as photoelectric detection, ultrasonic detection, radar detection, and visual detection. As long as the feeding status detection of the attachment component 10 can be achieved without interfering with the movement of the attachment mechanism, the purpose of this application can be achieved.

[0065] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The cylindrical wall 112 of the cylindrical structure is provided with a first hollow part 111. The detection end of the detection component 4 is set to point to the first hollow part 111 so as to send a detection signal into the cylindrical structure to determine whether there is an attachment component 10 inside the cylindrical structure (i.e. whether the attachment component 10 has been loaded).

[0066] In the initial state, the end of the second slider 2 near the positioning part 11 and the first hollow part 111 are at a preset distance L in the sliding direction of the second slider 2. The thickness of the attaching part 10 in the sliding direction of the second slider 2 is greater than the preset distance L, so that the attaching part 10 can cover the area where the first hollow part 111 is located. Figure 7 As shown. When the attachment component 10 has been accurately loaded, the detection signal emitted by the detection component 4 will be blocked by the attachment component 10. Figure 7 The dashed arrow in the diagram indicates the signal transmission path, thus providing feedback that the attachment component 10 has been successfully loaded. When the second slider 2 is missing an attachment component 10 at one end near the positioning part 11, the detection signal sent by the detection component 4 is not blocked, thus providing feedback that the attachment component 10 is missing.

[0067] It should be noted that the detection component 4 may include photoelectric sensors, laser sensors, ultrasonic sensors, radar sensors or vision sensors, all of which can detect the feeding status of the attached component 10 through the first cutout portion 111.

[0068] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The detection component 4 is an infrared sensor component, including a transmitter 41 and a receiver 42. The transmitter 41 and the receiver 42 are respectively disposed on both sides of the positioning part 11. The cylindrical wall 112 of the positioning part 11 has two oppositely disposed first hollow portions 111, which are respectively used to correspond one-to-one with the transmitter 41 and the receiver 42. When the detection end of the transmitter 41 emits an infrared signal, if the attachment component 10 has been loaded, it will block the infrared signal, such as... Figure 7 As shown; if the receiver 42 cannot receive the infrared signal, it will send a signal that the attachment component 10 has been loaded; if the attachment component 10 is missing, the infrared signal will pass through the two first cutouts 111 in sequence and be received by the receiver 42, thereby sending a signal that the attachment component 10 is missing, which can improve the reliability of the automatic attachment mechanism.

[0069] It should be noted that in the above embodiments, the first slider 1 and the second slider 2 can be driven by two independent driving components 3 or by the same driving component 3. As long as the automatic positioning and automatic mounting of the attachment mechanism can be achieved, the purpose of this application can be achieved.

[0070] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The attachment mechanism also includes a transmission component 5. The drive component 3 is connected to the transmission component 5. The transmission component 5 is connected to the first sliding member 1 and the second sliding member 2 respectively. The sliding drive power output by the drive component 3 is transmitted to the first sliding member 1 and the second sliding member 2 respectively. The sliding drive of the first sliding member 1 and the second sliding member 2 can be realized by the same drive component 3, which helps to reduce the number of parts in the drive structure and reduce the manufacturing cost of the attachment mechanism.

[0071] It should be noted that the transmission component 5 can be a gear and rack assembly, a connecting rod assembly, or other components that can achieve sliding drive power transmission. However, when the above components are used for transmission, complex calculations of the transmission ratio or connecting rod motion trajectory are required, which increases the design cost of the transmission component 5.

[0072] To address the aforementioned issues, please refer to some embodiments of this application. Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The transmission assembly 5 includes a first connecting member 51, a second connecting member 52, and an elastic member 53;

[0073] The first connector 51 is fixedly connected to the first slider 1, and the two can move synchronously; the second connector 52 is fixedly connected to the second slider 2, and the two can move synchronously; the drive assembly 3 is fixedly connected to the second connector 52, and can drive the second connector 52 and the second slider 2 to slide along the extension direction of the sliding cavity 12.

[0074] The first connector 51 and the second connector 52 are slidably connected, and the elastic element 53 is connected between the first connector 51 and the second connector 52. The extension and retraction direction of the elastic element 53 is parallel to the relative sliding direction between the first connector 51 and the second connector 52. When the driving assembly 3 drives the second connector 52 and the second slider 2 to slide along the extension direction of the sliding cavity 12, the first connector 51 will move synchronously with the second connector 52, thereby driving the first slider 1 to slide. When the positioning part 11 engages with the mating part 201 on the product to be attached 20, the first slider 1 and the first connector 51 stop moving. Under the action of the driving assembly 3, the second connector 52 overcomes the elastic force of the elastic element 53 and continues to slide relative to the first connector 51, so that the second slider 2 continues to slide in the sliding cavity 12 of the first slider 1, pushing out the attachment part 10 and attaching it to the product to be attached 20. During the application process, the elastic element 53 can buffer the sliding of the second sliding element 2 and the application component 10, thus avoiding impact on the product 20 to be applied during the application process.

[0075] Through the aforementioned transmission component 5, the sliding driving power of the first sliding member 1 and the second sliding member 2 can be transmitted through the first connecting member 51 and the second connecting member 52 respectively, and the elastic member 53 can provide buffering during the mounting process. The structure is simple and reliable, and can effectively reduce design costs.

[0076] It should be noted that the elastic element 53 can be any object that can undergo elastic deformation, such as a spring, rubber cylinder, sponge column, etc. As long as it can achieve buffering in the sliding direction of the second sliding element 2, it can achieve the purpose of this application.

[0077] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 The first sliding member 1 is provided with a first mounting portion 13, which can be fixedly connected to the first connecting member 51 by fasteners (such as screws, snap pins, etc., not shown in the figure). In a specific embodiment of this application, the first mounting portion 13 is a first mounting hole provided on both sides of the first sliding member 1.

[0078] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 The top block body 21 of the second sliding member 2 is provided with a second mounting part 22, which can be fixedly connected to the second connecting member 52 by fasteners (such as screws, snap pins, etc., not shown in the figure). In a specific embodiment of this application, the first mounting part 13 is a second mounting hole provided at the bottom of the top block body 21.

[0079] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The transmission assembly 5 also includes a guide member 54, which is slidably connected to one of the first connecting member 51 and the second connecting member 52, and fixedly connected to the other, thereby enabling sliding guidance during the relative sliding process of the first connecting member 51 and the second connecting member 52. An elastic member 53 is sleeved on the outside of the guide member 54, preventing the elastic member 53 from bending during extension and retraction, thus ensuring that the extension and retraction direction of the elastic member 53 is consistent with the relative sliding direction between the first connecting member 51 and the second connecting member 52, improving the motion reliability of the attachment mechanism.

[0080] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 Multiple guide members 54 are evenly distributed along the circumferential edge of the transmission assembly 5 to achieve uniform connection and guidance between the first connector 51 and the second connector 52. The guide members 54 can be relatively fixedly connected to one of the first connector 51 and the second connector 52 by means of threaded connection or snap-fit ​​connection.

[0081] As a specific embodiment of this application, the top end of the guide member 54 is provided with a limiting boss, and the bottom end of the guide member 54 is provided with a threaded section. The guide member 54 passes through the first connector 51, the elastic member 53 and the second connector 52 in sequence, and is relatively fixedly connected to the second connector 52 through the threaded section. The elastic member 53 and the first connector 51 can slide relative to the guide member 54, thereby achieving the purpose of this application.

[0082] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8The transmission assembly 5 also includes a limiting member 55, which is located on the side of the first connector 51 away from the second connector 52. The limiting member 55 has an abutment surface 551 facing the first connector 51, which can be used to rigidly abut against the first connector 51 to form a hard limit, preventing the first connector 51 and the first sliding member 1 from moving further toward the product 20 to be attached, and avoiding excessive compression of the attaching part 10.

[0083] Specifically, the travel distance of the first connector 51 should meet the following conditions: when the first connector 51 contacts the contact surface 551, the positioning part 11 is exactly engaged with the mating part 201 of the product to be attached 20, so that the mounting positioning between the positioning part 11 and the product to be attached 20 can be achieved, and the excessive compression of the attaching part 10 when it is pushed out is avoided when the positioning part 11 is too close to the product to be attached 20.

[0084] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The first sliding member 1 is slidably connected to the limiting member 55. The limiting member 55 has a guide part 552 that matches the first sliding member 1, so that the limiting member 55 can realize the sliding guide of the first sliding member 1 while realizing the hard limiting effect on the first connecting member 51, ensuring the accuracy of the alignment between the positioning part 11 and the mating part 201 of the product to be attached 20.

[0085] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 When the attaching mechanism is in its initial state, both the first sliding member 1 and the second sliding member 2 are in an unextended state, so that the positioning part 11 is located inside the guide part 552. In order to avoid the limiting member 55 blocking the detection signal of the detection component 4, a through hole 553 is provided in the limiting member 55 so that the detection signal emitted by the detection component 4 can pass through the limiting member 55 and be blocked by the attaching part 10 or the receiving part 42, thereby realizing the monitoring of the feeding status of the attaching part 10.

[0086] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8When the attachment mechanism is in operation, in order to avoid the presence of the guide member 54 affecting the abutment surface 551 of the first connector 51 and the limiting member 55 to form a hard limit, the bottom of the limiting member 55 has a relief part 555 corresponding to the guide member 54. When the upper surface of the first connector 51 contacts the abutment surface 551 of the limiting member 55 to form a hard limit, the guide member 54 protruding from the upper surface of the first connector 51 can extend into the relief part 555 to avoid the limiting member 55 interfering with the continued movement of the guide member 54, the second connector 52 and the second sliding member 2.

[0087] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The limiting member 55, the first connecting member 51, and the second connecting member 52 are three plates arranged sequentially along the sliding direction of the first sliding member 1 (i.e. the sliding direction of the second sliding member 2), and the plate surfaces are arranged perpendicular to the sliding direction. The relative sliding between the first sliding member 1 and the second sliding member 2 can be achieved through the relative movement between the three plates.

[0088] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 The drive assembly 3 includes a third connector 31 and a drive component 32. The third connector 31 is connected to the drive component 32 and the second connector 52, respectively, and can transmit the power output by the drive component 32 to the second connector 52, and thus to the transmission assembly 5. The drive component 32 can be a linear actuator such as a cylinder or hydraulic cylinder, and can realize the same-direction sliding drive of the first sliding member 1 and the second sliding member 2.

[0089] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 The attachment mechanism also includes a fixed mounting component 6. The drive component 3 and the limiting member 55 are mounted on the mounting component 6, which can be used to fix the drive component 3 and the limiting member 55 so as to provide a reaction force to the drive component 3 and the limiting member 55 when they are subjected to forces from other components (such as the second connecting member 52, the first connecting member 51, etc.). At the same time, the mounting component 6 can also be used to connect with other mechanisms (such as the worktable 7, the robotic arm, etc.) to realize the connection between the attachment mechanism and other mechanisms.

[0090] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The limiting member 55 is also provided with a fourth mounting part 556, which can be fixedly connected to the mounting component 6 by fasteners (such as screws, snap pins, etc., not shown in the figure). In a specific embodiment of this application, the fourth mounting part 556 is a fourth mounting hole provided on one side of the limiting member 55.

[0091] Please see Figures 1 to 11 The second aspect of this application provides an assembly device, including the attachment mechanism described in the above embodiments, and further including a worktable 7. The worktable 7 has a second hollowed-out portion 711 corresponding to the positioning portion 11, so that the positioning portion 11 extends out of the second hollowed-out portion 711 to perform attachment and positioning with the mating portion 201 of the product 20 to be attached. Figures 9 to 11 As shown.

[0092] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 The second cutout 711 is formed on the assembly table 71 of the workbench 7. The attaching mechanism is fixedly set at the bottom of the assembly table 71 by the mounting component 6. The driving component 3 drives the first sliding member 1 and the second sliding member 2 to push upward, so that the positioning part 11 and the attaching part 10 extend from the second cutout 711, thereby realizing the automatic positioning and automatic attaching of the attaching mechanism.

[0093] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 The workbench 7 also includes a frame 72, a control box 73, and a traveling assembly 74. The frame 72 provides stable support for the assembly table surface 71. The control box 73 is connected to the drive assembly 3 and the detection assembly 4 in the bonding mechanism for signal control of the loading and bonding of the bonding components 10. The traveling assembly 74 is installed at the bottom of the frame 72, facilitating the overall movement of the assembly equipment to allow it to be moved to different areas for bonding as needed.

[0094] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 10 The limiting member 55 is also provided with a third mounting part 554, which can be fixedly connected to the assembly table 71 by fasteners (such as screws, snap pins, etc., not shown in the figure). In a specific embodiment of this application, the third mounting part 554 is a third mounting hole provided at the four corners of the limiting member 55.

[0095] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10The workbench 7 is also equipped with a product positioning component 8 and a product clamping component 9, which are used to position and clamp the product 20 to be attached on the workbench 7, ensure the positioning accuracy of the product 20 to be attached and the positioning part 11, and prevent the product 20 to be attached from moving during the mounting process, thus affecting the mounting quality.

[0096] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 The product positioning component 8 includes multiple positioning pins, which can be used to achieve multi-point positioning of the product 20 to be attached. The product clamping component 9 includes multiple quick clamps, which can quickly clamp the product 20 after it has been positioned, so that the lower surface of the product 20 to be attached is in close contact with the upper surface of the assembly table 71, thereby ensuring the flatness of the product 20 to be attached during the mounting process and improving the mounting quality.

[0097] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figures 1 to 11 The attaching mechanism and assembly equipment are used to attach the thermally conductive foam to the battery pack. At this time, the attaching component 10 is the thermally conductive foam, and the product to be attached 20 is the battery pack panel. The attachment process is as follows:

[0098] Step 1: When the attachment mechanism is in the initial state, insert the attachment component 10 through the top opening of the positioning part 11 so that the side of the attachment component 10 without the adhesive layer abuts against the top of the second sliding member 2.

[0099] Step 2: The product 20 to be attached is fixedly placed on the assembly table 71 by the product positioning component 8 and the product clamping component 9, so that the mating part 201 is positioned opposite to the positioning part 11.

[0100] Step 3: After the detection component 4 confirms that there are no missing parts of the attachment component 10, the drive component 3 actuates, pushing the second connector 52 upward through the third connector 31. Simultaneously, the second connector 52 drives the second sliding member 2 upward, and also drives the first connector 51 upward synchronously through the guide member 54 and the elastic member 53. The first sliding member 1 rises synchronously with the first connector 51. When the first connector 51 contacts the abutting surface 551 of the limiting member 55, the first connector 51 and the first sliding member 1 stop moving, and the positioning part 11 and the mating part 201 achieve positioning engagement. Under the continuous action of the drive component 3, the second connector 52 continues to rise against the elastic force of the elastic member 53, achieving relative sliding with the first connector 51. This causes the second sliding member 2 to push the attachment component 10 out of the positioning part 11 of the first sliding member 1, so that the adhesive side of the attachment component 10 is attached to the product 20 to be attached.
