Abstract
Description
A material discharge detection structure Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a material discharge detection structure. Background Technology
[0002] The busbar, or multi-layer composite structure connector, is an important electrical connection component in new energy vehicles. It connects battery terminals or module posts in series or parallel using welding or bolting to ensure stable current transmission. This composite busbar plays a crucial role in the new energy vehicle field, as exemplified by the BUSBAR injection-molded sealing structure disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN115986443A.
[0003] The BUSBAR disclosed in the aforementioned patent typically requires electrical performance and airtightness testing after production, followed by differentiation between qualified and unqualified products. However, in the traditional method, the BUSBAR is moved by a turntable to different testing stations for these tests. When either test fails, the BUSBAR is manually removed from the testing station, or rejected by a rejection mechanism at each station. Conversely, if the tests pass, the BUSBAR is sent to the output. Manual removal is inconvenient when tests fail, and adding rejection mechanisms at each testing station increases overall complexity and production costs. Therefore, it is necessary to address this technical problem. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This utility model addresses the problems existing in the prior art by providing a material discharge detection structure.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a detection and discharge structure, including a workbench and a station switching turntable set on the workbench. The station switching turntable drives the test piece to move at different test stations. A discharge robot is set on the front side of the station switching turntable. A first discharge conveying component for outputting qualified products and a second discharge conveying component for outputting unqualified products are set below the discharge robot. A receiving groove is set below the output end of both the first and second discharge conveying components. The discharge robot transfers the test piece that has rotated with the station switching turntable to its direct lower position to the first discharge conveying component or the second discharge conveying component.
[0006] Furthermore, the unloading robot includes a gantry support frame fixed on the worktable. A transverse moving seat driven to move left and right by a transverse cylinder is installed on the top of the gantry support frame. A rotary seat driven to rotate by a rotary cylinder is installed on the top of the transverse moving seat. A longitudinal cylinder is installed on the rotary seat. The cylinder rod of the longitudinal cylinder extends forward and is equipped with a longitudinal moving seat at its end. A vertically arranged linear module is installed on the longitudinal moving seat. A clamping component for clamping the test piece is installed at the moving end of the linear module.
[0007] Furthermore, the moving end of the linear module is equipped with a lifting seat; the clamping assembly includes a two-finger parallel gripper installed at the bottom of the lifting seat. The two-finger parallel gripper is vertically arranged, and the two gripping fingers of the two-finger parallel gripper are distributed in front and behind. The lower end of the two gripping fingers of the two-finger parallel gripper facing each other is provided with a hook for hooking the test piece.
[0008] Furthermore, a transverse guide rail is installed on the top of the gantry support frame, and the transverse cylinder is arranged parallel to the rear side of the transverse guide rail; the transverse moving seat slides in conjunction with the transverse guide rail.
[0009] Furthermore, both the first and second discharge conveying components include a longitudinally arranged discharge conveyor belt, with the input end of the discharge conveyor belt located directly below the discharge robot and the output end of the discharge conveyor belt located directly above the receiving trough.
[0010] Furthermore, the discharge conveyor belt is inclined with a lower front end and a higher rear end.
[0011] Furthermore, the receiving trough includes a qualified product receiving trough corresponding to the position of the first discharge conveying component and a non-qualified product receiving trough corresponding to the position of the second discharge conveying component.
[0012] Furthermore, the qualified product receiving trough and the unqualified product receiving trough are separated by a partition.
[0013] Furthermore, a support bracket is provided at the front end of the workbench, and the material receiving trough is installed on the top of the support bracket.
[0014] Furthermore, the workstation switching turntable has multiple placement racks evenly distributed around its circumference for placing test pieces.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: The present invention has a reasonable structural design. The test pieces after testing are moved to the first and second discharge conveying components by the discharge robot, so as to output qualified and unqualified products respectively. There is no need to manually remove unqualified products, and there is no need to set up a rejection mechanism at each test station. It is convenient to use and effectively reduces the complexity of the overall structure. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0028] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the BUSBAR product. This BUSBAR is the same as that disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN115986443A. This utility model is used for discharging material for the testing of this BUSBAR product.
[0029] As shown in Figures 2-10, this utility model discloses a material discharge structure, including a workbench 1 and a station switching turntable 2 set on the workbench 1. The station switching turntable 2 drives the test piece 3 to move at different test stations. The specific improvement of this material discharge structure is that: a material discharge robot 4 that can rotate up, down, forward, backward, left, right and in the horizontal plane is set on the front side of the station switching turntable 2. A first material discharge conveying component 5 for outputting qualified products and a second material discharge conveying component 6 for outputting unqualified products are set below the material discharge robot 4. A receiving groove is set below the output end of the first material discharge conveying component 5 and the second material discharge conveying component 6. The material discharge robot 4 transfers the test piece 3, which is rotated to its direct position as the station switching turntable 2 rotates, to the first material discharge conveying component 5 or the second material discharge conveying component 6. During operation, the test pieces (i.e., the aforementioned BUSBAR products) are moved between different testing stations by a station switching turntable for testing. After testing, the test pieces move to the front near the unloading robot. The unloading robot moves the qualified test pieces to the first unloading conveyor assembly, where they are output. The unloading robot moves the unqualified test pieces to the second unloading conveyor assembly, where they are output. By using the unloading robot to uniformly move the tested pieces to the first and second unloading conveyor assemblies, qualified and unqualified products are output separately. This eliminates the need for manual rejection of unqualified products and the need for rejection mechanisms at each testing station, making it convenient to use and effectively reducing the complexity of the overall structure.
[0030] It should be noted that each testing station has detection information feedback, and the unloading robot outputs the test piece according to this detection information feedback. These are existing technologies and will not be repeated here.
[0031] In this embodiment, the unloading robot 4 includes a gantry support frame 7 fixed on the workbench. A transverse moving seat 9, driven to move left and right by a transverse cylinder 8, is mounted on the top of the gantry support frame 7. A rotating seat 11, driven to rotate by a rotary cylinder 10, is mounted on the top of the transverse moving seat 9. A longitudinal cylinder 12 is mounted on the rotating seat 11. The cylinder rod of the longitudinal cylinder 12 extends forward and its end is fitted with a longitudinal moving seat 13. A vertically arranged linear module 14 is mounted on the longitudinal moving seat 13. A clamping assembly 15 for holding the test piece is mounted on the moving end of the linear module 14. During operation, the transverse cylinder drives the transverse moving seat to move left and right, the rotary cylinder drives the longitudinal cylinder to rotate left and right in the horizontal plane via the rotating seat, the longitudinal cylinder drives the longitudinal moving seat to move back and forth, and the linear module drives the clamping assembly to move up and down, thereby realizing the left, right, front, back, up, down, and rotational movements of the clamping assembly.
[0032] In this embodiment, the moving end of the linear module 14 is equipped with a lifting seat 16; the clamping assembly 15 includes a pneumatically controlled two-finger parallel gripper 17 installed at the bottom of the lifting seat 16. The two-finger parallel gripper 17 is vertically arranged, and the two gripping fingers of the two-finger parallel gripper 17 are distributed in front and behind. The lower end of the two gripping fingers 171 facing each other is provided with a hook part 18 for hooking the test piece 3. Specifically, the hook part is used to hook the bottom of the front and rear ends of the plastic body 301 of the BUSBAR product.
[0033] In this embodiment, a transverse guide rail 19 is installed on the top of the gantry support frame 7, and the transverse cylinder 8 is arranged parallel to the rear side of the transverse guide rail 19; the transverse moving seat 9 is slidably engaged with the transverse guide rail 19.
[0034] In this embodiment, both the first discharge conveying assembly 5 and the second discharge conveying assembly 6 include a longitudinally arranged discharge conveyor belt 20. The input end of the discharge conveyor belt 20 is located directly below the discharge robot 4, and the output end of the discharge conveyor belt 20 is located directly above the receiving trough. Furthermore, the discharge conveyor belt is inclined with a lower front end and a higher rear end to facilitate better material discharge.
[0035] In this embodiment, the receiving trough includes a qualified product receiving trough 21 corresponding to the position of the first discharge conveying component 5 and a defective product receiving trough 22 corresponding to the position of the second discharge conveying component 6. Preferably, the qualified product receiving trough and the defective product receiving trough are separated by a partition, making them independent. The qualified product receiving trough is used to receive products that pass the inspection, and the defective product receiving trough is used to receive products that fail the inspection (including products that fail the airtightness test or the electrical performance test).
[0036] In this embodiment, a support bracket 23 is provided at the front end of the workbench 1, and the material receiving groove is installed on the top of the support bracket 23.
[0037] It should be noted that the structure disclosed in this utility model is only used for material discharge and does not involve specific detection structures or detection methods.
[0038] In this embodiment, the workstation switching turntable 2 has multiple placement racks 24 evenly distributed around its circumference for placing test pieces. The workstation switching turntable is driven to rotate by a motor.
[0039] If this utility model discloses or relates to mutually fixedly connected parts or structural components, then, unless otherwise stated, a fixed connection can be understood as: a detachable fixed connection (e.g., using bolts or screws), or a non-detachable fixed connection (e.g., riveting, welding). Of course, mutually fixed connections can also be replaced by an integral structure (e.g., manufactured using a casting process) (except where it is obviously impossible to use an integral forming process).
[0040] In addition, unless otherwise stated, the terms used to indicate positional relationships or shapes in any of the technical solutions disclosed in this utility model above include states or shapes that are similar to, close to, or approximate with them.
