Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of forming a battery top cover, and in particular to a battery top cover assembly device. Background Technology
[0002] The battery top cover is an important component in new energy batteries. It is mainly welded and fixed to the battery aluminum shell to form the battery casing. In the current technology, the connection between the top cover and the terminal post is generally achieved by riveting. The riveting and fixing of the top cover and the terminal post generally uses a stamping machine and a stamping die. The stamping die is installed on the stamping machine. During the riveting process, the unriveted battery top cover is placed in the positioning groove of the lower die of the stamping die. Then, the upper die of the stamping die is used to stamp the terminal post on the unriveted battery top cover, thereby riveting and forming the battery top cover. However, the current method of loading the unriveted battery top cover into the positioning groove of the lower die of the stamping die generally uses manual labor or industrial robots. However, manual operation poses safety hazards, and the use of industrial robots results in high costs. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0023] The battery top cover assembly device described in this utility model has the following advantages:
[0024] The device of this invention positions an unriveted battery top cover within a positioning area. The cover plate covers the top of the workpiece positioning structure. The uncentered terminals on the battery top cover are located below or within the positioning holes. Then, the positioning fixture is pushed below the assembly structure. The upper ends of the first and second telescopic mechanisms are extended and contact the two ends of the positioning fixture, respectively. At this time, the assembly structure, under the action of the stamping drive mechanism, punches downwards towards the positioning fixture. During this downward punching process, the adjusting protrusions on each adjusting block pass through the positioning holes and make horizontal displacement, thereby laterally pushing the unriveted battery top cover... The center of the terminal post is aligned with the center of the T-shaped punch around the periphery of the terminal post. The lower end of the T-shaped punch then presses against the terminal post on the unriveted battery top cover. Finally, the T-shaped punch punches out and rivets the top of the terminal post, causing it to deform and fix the terminal post and the rivet block to each other, thus fixing the terminal post and the top cover to each other. Therefore, this utility model enables the positioning fixture to place the unriveted battery top cover without being below the assembly structure, making it safer when manual placement is required. Alternatively, multiple positioning fixtures can be configured, and an automatic feeder can be used for feeding to achieve continuous step-by-step automatic conveying of the positioning fixture to the area below the riveting structure.

[0043] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0044] Figures 1-12 As shown, the battery top cover 100 assembly device described in this embodiment includes a conveying table 1, a positioning fixture 4, and an assembly structure 5. The conveying table 1, the positioning fixture 4, and the assembly structure 5 are arranged in cooperation with each other to complete the riveting and forming of the battery top cover 100.
[0045] In this embodiment, a conveying area 11 is provided on the conveying table 1. Baffles 2 are respectively installed on opposite sides of the conveying area 11 in the width direction so that a conveying channel 13 is formed between the two baffles 2. Multiple rollers 3 are installed on the inner side of the baffles 2 at intervals. A conveying gap is formed between the lower side of each roller 3 and the conveying area 11. A first telescopic mechanism 6 and a second telescopic mechanism 7 are respectively installed at both ends of the assembly position length direction of the conveying area 11.
[0046] Preferably, the first telescopic mechanism 6 includes a telescopic member 62, an elastic member, and a first fixing block 61. The assembly position of the conveying area 11 is provided with a first mounting groove 16. The telescopic member 62 is placed in a vertical through groove 612 on the side of the first fixing block 61 facing the positioning fixture 4, and the side of the first fixing block 61 facing the positioning fixture 4 is fixed to an inner wall of the first mounting groove 16 facing the positioning fixture 4. The upper end of the telescopic member 62 extends in the opposite direction to the positioning fixture 4 to form a first guide block 621. The upper side of the first guide block 621 has an inclined surface 9 to allow the first guide block 621 to... The upper side is positioned high at the end near the positioning fixture 4 and low at the end away from the positioning fixture 4. The elastic element is disposed between the lower side of the first guide block 621 and the upper side of the first fixing block 61. The lower end of the telescopic element 62 extends in the opposite direction to the positioning fixture 4 to form a limiting block 622. In the spring-extended state, the limiting block 622 abuts against the lower side of the first fixing block 61. The upper side of the first guide block 621 extends out of the assembly surface of the conveying area 11 at the end near the positioning fixture 4. The elastic element is generally a spring structure and is embedded in the vertical hole 611 of the first fixing block 61.
[0047] In a further preferred embodiment, the upper side of the first fixing block 61 is provided with two spaced-apart blocks, and the first guide block 621 is located between the two blocks.
[0048] Preferably, the second telescopic mechanism 7 includes at least one telescopic cylinder 71, the cylinder body of which is fixed in the second mounting groove 17 below the assembly position of the conveying area 11; when the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder 71 is extended, its telescopic rod extends to the assembly position surface of the conveying area 11, and when the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder 71 is retracted, its telescopic rod end face is flush with or below the assembly position surface of the conveying area 11.
[0049] Therefore, when the positioning fixture 4 enters the interior of the conveying channel 13 through one end, it first presses down on the telescopic member 62 under the gravity of the positioning fixture 4, causing the elastic member to be compressed. Then, as the positioning fixture 4 continues to move along the conveying channel 13 toward the second telescopic mechanism 7, it passes over the telescopic member 62. At this time, the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder 71 extends to block one end of the positioning fixture 4. At this time, the positioning fixture 4 leaves the telescopic member 62 and enters between the guide block and the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder 71. The inner side of the guide block and the upper end of the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder 71 are respectively limited at both ends of the positioning fixture 4. At the same time, the baffles 2 on both sides limit the opposite sides of the positioning fixture 4. The workpiece positioning structure is limited in the corresponding conveying gap on both sides in the width direction, and at least some of the rollers 3 have wheel surfaces close to the upper surfaces of the workpiece positioning structure on both sides in the width direction.
[0050] In this embodiment, the positioning fixture 4 includes a workpiece positioning structure and a cover plate 48. The top of the workpiece positioning structure is provided with a positioning area for positioning and placing the battery top cover 100. The cover plate 48 covers the top of the workpiece positioning structure and is provided with at least one first positioning hole 481 corresponding to at least a portion of the positioning area.
[0051] Specifically, the workpiece positioning structure includes a base plate 41, a middle block 42, first side blocks 44 located on both sides of the length direction of the middle block 42, second side blocks 49 located on both sides of the width direction of the middle block 42, and abutting blocks 46 abutting against the outer sides of each of the first side blocks 44. The middle block 42, first side blocks 44, second side blocks 49, and abutting blocks 46 abutting against the outer sides of each of the first side blocks 44 are all fixed to the base plate 41. When the workpiece positioning structure is positioned within the conveying channel 13, the opposite sides of the base plate 41 are respectively placed within the corresponding conveying gaps. The inner side of the first guide block 621 and the upper end of the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder 71 respectively abut against both ends of the base plate 41. The upper side of the middle block 42, the inner sides of each of the first side blocks 44, and the inner sides of each of the second side blocks 49 enclose a workpiece positioning space. The upper side of the middle block 42 is provided with at least one positioning boss 43 corresponding to the position of the positioning hole. The first side blocks 44 and the second side blocks 49... A roller 45 is embedded at the upper end. The unriveted battery top cover 100 enters the positioning area by the rolling action of the roller 45, thereby preventing the peripheral side of the battery top cover 100 from being scratched and making it easier for the battery top cover 100 to enter the positioning area. There are generally two first positioning holes 481 on the cover plate 48, and there are also two positioning bosses 43. When the cover plate 48 is located above the workpiece positioning space and its two ends are respectively placed on the upper side of each abutment block 46, a positioning post 47 is fixed on the upper side of each abutment block 46. The two ends of the cover plate 48 are provided with second positioning holes 482. Each positioning post 47 is inserted into the corresponding second positioning hole 482. Then, the two pole posts 102 on the battery top cover 100 are placed on the two positioning bosses 43 and correspond to the positions of the two first positioning holes 481 respectively. At the same time, the pole post 102 on the battery top cover 100 that is not centered is located below the positioning hole or in the first positioning hole 481.
[0052] In this embodiment, the assembly structure 5 cooperates with the positioning fixture 4 to fix the terminal post 102 and the top cover piece 101 in the battery top cover 100 on the workpiece positioning structure to each other. Specifically, the assembly structure 5 includes a first template group 51, a second template group 52, a T-shaped post 53, a T-shaped punch 58, a push rod 57, and a center adjustment group 8. The first template group 51, the second template group 52, and the center adjustment group 8 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom. Among them, the T-shaped post 53, the T-shaped punch 58, the push rod 57, and the center adjustment group 8 form a center adjustment riveting group, and the center adjustment riveting group is set to two groups, which correspond to the positions of the two first positioning holes 481 respectively.
[0053] The second template group 52 is provided with at least one T-shaped mounting hole 54 corresponding to the position of the first positioning hole 481. The head of the T-shaped column 53 fits into the T-shaped mounting hole 54. The column body of the T-shaped column 53 extends to the center adjustment group 8. A first spring 520 abuts between the bottom surface of the first template group 51 and the top surface of the head of the T-shaped column 53. A second spring 521 abuts between the bottom surface of the horizontal part of the T-shaped column 53 and the bottom of the horizontal hole of the T-shaped mounting hole 54. A T-shaped through hole 531 is provided at the center of the T-shaped column 53. A T-shaped punch 58 fits into the T-shaped through hole 531. One end of the push rod 57 is embedded in the first template group 51, and the other end is inserted into the horizontal part of the T-shaped through hole 531 and abuts against the top of the T-shaped punch 58. A riveting protrusion 581 is formed on the bottom end face of the T-shaped punch 58. The T-shaped column 53 consists of a columnar body and a fixed columnar body. The upper part of the body is composed of transverse blocks; the central adjustment group 8 includes an adjustment plate 81 located above the cover plate 48. The adjustment plate 81 is provided with at least one cross-shaped adjustment hole 811 corresponding to the position of the positioning hole, and side push holes 812 provided at the ends of each branch hole of the cross-shaped adjustment hole 811. Each side push hole 812 is respectively connected to each branch hole of the cross-shaped adjustment hole 811. Each branch hole of the cross-shaped adjustment hole 811 is provided with an adjustment block 82. The outer side of each adjustment block 82 is provided with a first inclined surface 9. The upper part of the second template group 52 is fixed with a second guide block 83 corresponding to the position of each side push hole 812. The second guide block 83 is provided with a second inclined surface 9 adapted to the first inclined surface 9. The inner side of each adjustment block 82 extends downward to form an adjustment protrusion 821. The inner sides of each adjustment block 82 are spaced apart from each other.
[0054] Preferably, the conveying table 1 is fixed with a guide post 10 and a first limiting post 55. The first template group 51 is provided with a second limiting post 56 corresponding to the position of the first limiting post 55 and a guide hole 529 through which the guide post 10 passes. A return spring 12 is sleeved on the guide post 10. The two ends of the return spring 12 abut against the first template group 51 and the conveying table 1, respectively. A limiting rod is fixed on the base plate 41 and the adjusting plate 81. The end face of the limiting rod on the base plate 41 is higher than the top surface of the cover plate 48 covering the workpiece positioning structure. A limiting post is fixed on the top surface of the adjusting plate 81.
[0055] Based on the above, before the assembly structure 5 and the positioning fixture 4 are stamped, a preset gap is formed between the first template group 51 and the second template group 52 under the action of the first spring 520 and the return spring 12. A gap is also formed between the end of the first limiting post 55 and the end of the second limiting post 56, so that the lower ends of the T-shaped post 53 and the T-shaped punch 58 of the assembly structure 5 are far away from the first positioning hole 481, and the adjusting protrusion 821 of the adjusting block 82 of each center adjusting riveting group is also far away from the first positioning hole 481. When riveting is required... The stamping force of the press acts on the first template group 51, compressing the return spring 12. This causes the bottom surface of the adjusting plate 81 to be restricted by the limiting rod and approach the top surface of the cover plate 48. Simultaneously, the adjusting protrusion 821 of each center adjusting riveting group passes through the corresponding first positioning hole 481. Since the elastic force of the return spring 12 is less than that of the first spring 520 and the second spring 521, the first template group 51 and the second template group 52 can be pushed together without the gap between them narrowing. The second guide block 83 moves downwards, causing the adjusting block 82 to shift horizontally under the action of the inclined plane 9. Then, the adjusting protrusions 821 at each of the first positioning holes 481 push the four sides of the terminal post 102 on the battery top cover 100, thereby positioning the center of the terminal post 102. The action stops when the second template group 52 comes into contact with the top surface of the limiting post, and the second template group 52 can no longer move downwards. Therefore, during the lateral adjustment, since the first spring 520 and the second spring 521 also remain undeformed, the T-shaped... The lower ends of the column 53 and the T-shaped punch 58 do not contact the top surface of the pole column 102. At this time, the punching force continues to exert a pushing force on the first template group 51, causing it to move downward. This causes the first spring 520 and the second spring 521 to be compressed successively, so that the lower end of the T-shaped column 53 first presses against the top surface of the pole column 102. Finally, the riveting protrusion 581 of the T-shaped punch 58 rivets and punches the pole column 102, deforming it and causing the pole column 102 to be fixed in the inner hole of the riveting block 103, thus fixing the pole column 102 and the top cover plate 101 together. Among them, the adjustment block 82 is used for side push center positioning to position the riveting position on the pole column 102, avoiding the occurrence of a large deviation between the riveting position and the processing requirements.
