Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery processing technology, and in particular to an adhesive applicator and adhesive applicator equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The tabs of power batteries are unprotected after ultrasonic welding, which can cause them to tear during cell transport. Teared tabs may drift into the cell, causing a short circuit. Similarly, inserting the tabs upside down into the electrode plates can also cause a short circuit. Therefore, adhesive must be applied to the tabs after welding to prevent these issues.

[0003] In existing technologies, the tape is typically cut after the adhesive has been applied, and pulling on the tape during cutting can affect the adhesion quality. Furthermore, the adhesive application process usually requires the battery cell to wait for adhesive to be supplied at the application point, resulting in low efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an adhesive application device and equipment to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] Based on the above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an adhesive application device and equipment that has higher adhesive application efficiency and better adhesive application quality.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] Adhesive application device, including:

[0008] The tape unloading unit is used to carry the tape roll;

[0009] The loading and unloading unit is used to supply the parts to be glued to a preset position and to move the glued products out of the preset position.

[0010] The tape cutting unit includes a clamping module, a first driving module, and a cutting module. The clamping module is used to clamp the free end of the tape roll. The first driving module is used to drive the clamping module to unfold the free end of the tape roll along the Y direction to a preset length. The cutting module is used to move along the X direction to cut the tape into segments with the preset length.

[0011] The adhesive transfer unit includes an adhesive transfer stage, which is used to carry the adhesive segment and can move the adhesive segment along the X direction to approach the preset position;

[0012] An adhesive applicator is used to attach the adhesive segment placed on the adhesive transfer table to the preset position.

[0013] An adhesive applicator includes a turntable with loading / unloading stations and two adhesive applicator stations arranged sequentially. Both the loading / unloading stations and the two adhesive applicator stations can hold parts to be adhesiveped. The turntable rotates so that the parts to be adhesiveped pass through each station sequentially. The adhesive applicator also includes a loading / unloading device and two adhesive applicator devices as described in any of the above embodiments. The loading / unloading device is positioned corresponding to the loading / unloading stations, and the adhesive applicator devices are positioned corresponding to the adhesive applicator stations.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] This invention discloses an adhesive applicator. It includes a tape dispensing unit for holding the tape roll; a loading / unloading unit for supplying the workpiece to be applicated to a preset position and removing the applicated workpiece from the preset position; a clamping module for clamping the free end of the tape roll; a first driving module for driving the clamping module holding the free end of the tape roll to move along the Y direction away from the tape roll, so that the tape unfolds to a preset length along the Y direction; a cutting unit for moving and cutting the tape along the X direction to form adhesive segments of a preset length; a tape transfer unit with a transfer table for carrying the adhesive segments and moving them along the X direction closer to the workpiece to be applicated; and an applicating unit for attaching the adhesive segments placed on the transfer table to the workpiece at the preset position. In other words, this adhesive applicator can cut the tape into adhesive segments before actual applicating, and then directly apply the adhesive segments, allowing cutting and applicating to be performed simultaneously, thus improving applicator efficiency. In addition, there is no need for cutting after application, which avoids the impact of cutting on the application effect and ensures the quality of the adhesive.

[0016] The adhesive application equipment utilizes a rotatable turntable to move multiple parts to be adhesiveped between the loading / unloading station and two adhesive application stations. This allows for simultaneous loading / unloading and two adhesive application processes, effectively improving application efficiency. The two adhesive application stations can apply adhesive to both the positive and negative terminals of the parts. Furthermore, each station is equipped with an adhesive application device, enabling simultaneous cutting and application at each station, further enhancing efficiency. Additionally, the absence of a post-application cutting step eliminates the need for further cutting, preventing any negative impact on the application result and ensuring high-quality adhesive application.

[0033] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an adhesive applicator 600, which includes an adhesive dispensing unit 100, a loading / unloading unit, an adhesive cutting unit 200, an adhesive transfer unit 300, and an adhesive applicator. The adhesive dispensing unit 100 is used to carry the tape roll 1; the loading / unloading unit is used to supply the part to be adhesiveped to a preset position and move the adhesive-applied product out of the preset position; the adhesive cutting unit 200 includes a clamping module 210, a first driving module 220, and a cutting module 230. The clamping module 210 is used to clamp the free end of the tape roll 1, the first driving module 220 is used to drive the clamping module 210 to unfold the free end of the tape roll 1 along the Y direction to a preset length, and the cutting module 230 is used to move along the X direction to cut the tape into segments of a preset length; the adhesive transfer unit 300 includes a transfer table 310, which carries the segments and can move the segments along the X direction to approach the preset position; the adhesive applicator is used to attach the segments placed on the transfer table 310 to the preset position.

[0035] The tape roll 1 is supported by a dispensing unit 100; a loading / unloading unit is provided to supply the part to be glued to a preset position and move the glued part out of the preset position; a clamping module 210 is provided to clamp the free end of the tape roll 1; a first driving module 220 is provided to drive the clamping module 210 holding the free end of the tape roll 1 to move in the Y direction away from the tape roll 1, so that the tape is unfolded to a preset length in the Y direction; a cutting unit is provided to move and cut the tape in the X direction to form a glue segment with a preset length; a glue transfer unit 300 with a glue transfer table 310 is provided to carry the glue segment and move it in the X direction to approach the part to be glued; and a glue application unit is provided to apply the glue segment placed on the glue transfer table 310 to the part to be glued at the preset position. The aforementioned adhesive applicator 600 can cut the adhesive tape into segments before actual application, and then directly apply the segments, allowing cutting and application to be performed simultaneously, thus improving application efficiency. Furthermore, there is no need for a cutting step after application, avoiding the impact of cutting on the application effect and ensuring adhesive quality.

[0036] Specifically, the clamping module 210 is disposed at the driving end of the first driving module 220. The first driving module 220 can drive the clamping module 210 to reciprocate along the Y direction towards and away from the dispensing unit 100, that is, the tape is wound and unwound by driving the movement of the clamping module 210. It can be understood that when the clamping module 210 moves away from the dispensing unit 100, the tape is pulled to achieve winding and unwinding; after cutting, the clamping module 210 moves towards the dispensing unit 100 so that the clamping module 210 can clamp the free end of the tape again. In other embodiments, the clamping module 210 can also be fixedly disposed, and the tape is wound and unwound by driving the dispensing unit 100 to move.

[0037] For example, the clamping module 210 includes a first gripper 211 and a second gripper 212. The first gripper 211 and the second gripper 212 can move closer to or further away from each other to clamp the free end of the tape or release the tape from the gripper. The driving of the first gripper 211 and the second gripper 212 can be achieved by using two separate driving components, or by using a single driving component in conjunction with the structural design; no specific limitation is made here. Preferably, the side of the first gripper 211 and the second gripper 212 that is close to each other is provided with a plating material, so that adhesive residue is less likely to occur when releasing the tape.

[0038] Furthermore, the adhesive dispensing unit 100 is also provided with a tensioning module 110, which is located at the end of the cutting module 230 away from the clamping module 210. By providing the tensioning module 110, it serves two purposes: firstly, it works in conjunction with the clamping module 210 to tension the adhesive tape, facilitating cutting by the cutting module 230; secondly, it serves to fix the free end of the adhesive tape after the cutting module 230 cuts it, facilitating subsequent clamping by the clamping module 210.

[0039] Preferably, the glue dispensing unit 100 is further provided with a plurality of tension rollers 120, which are arranged in parallel and spaced apart between the tensioning module 110 and the tape roll 1. The tape is wound around the plurality of tension rollers 120 to ensure the tension of the tape between the tensioning module 110 and the tape roll 1. Exemplarily, the tension rollers 120 are adjustable in their radial position to facilitate adjustment of the tension according to actual needs.

[0040] In this embodiment, to avoid interference between cutting and applying the tape, the tape application device 600 is further provided with a tape transfer unit 300, which is used to move the tape segment to the application position. Specifically, the tape transfer unit 300 also includes a second drive module 320, which is used to move the tape transfer stage 310 along the X direction to the application position. The application unit needs to be able to apply the tape segment placed at the application position to the workpiece to be applied at a preset position. It is worth noting that the application position is different from the position where the cutting module 230 cuts the tape, that is, the position that will not interfere with the tape cutting.

[0041] Furthermore, the adhesive applicator 600 is also provided with a third drive module 330, which can drive the adhesive transfer stage 310 to move vertically to further avoid the movement of the clamping module 210. For example, the third drive module 330 is disposed at the drive end of the second drive module 320, and the adhesive transfer stage 310 is disposed at the drive end of the third drive module 330.

[0042] Preferably, the adhesive transfer table 310 has suction holes on its surface. The suction holes can have negative pressure to adsorb the adhesive segment, preventing the adhesive segment from shifting during the transfer and ensuring the accuracy of the subsequent adhesive application unit.

[0043] For example, the adhesive transfer table 310 can hold two or more adhesive segments, which are spaced apart along the X direction; that is, one adhesive transfer table 310 can hold and supply multiple adhesive segments, enabling the supply of multiple adhesive segments at one time. And / or, there are two or more adhesive transfer tables 310, which are spaced apart along the X direction, so that when one adhesive transfer table 310 is used to supply adhesive to the adhesive application position, the cut adhesive segments can be placed on other adhesive transfer tables 310.

[0044] In other embodiments, to achieve adhesive transfer, a conveyor belt can be provided on the adhesive transfer table 310. The conveyor belt carries adhesive segments, and multiple adhesive segments can be placed on the conveyor belt along the X direction. As the conveyor belt rolls along the X direction, the adhesive segments are moved closer to the part to be adhesiveped. The conveyor belt transport does not require resetting, further improving processing efficiency.

[0045] Specifically, the adhesive applicator 600 is also equipped with an adhesive pressing unit, which can press the adhesive segment attached to the preset position with a preset pressure to improve the reliability of the adhesion between the adhesive segment and the preset position.

[0046] The working process of the above-mentioned adhesive applicator 600 is as follows: The clamping module 210 moves close to the adhesive dispensing unit 100 and clamps the free end of the adhesive tape, and then moves away from the adhesive dispensing unit 100 by a preset length. The tensioning module 110 clamps the adhesive tape, and the cutting unit cuts the adhesive tape into adhesive segments. The adhesive segments are moved to the adhesive application position by the adhesive transfer unit 300, and the adhesive application unit applies the adhesive segments to the preset position, and the pressing unit presses the adhesive; at the same time, the clamping module 210 moves close to the adhesive dispensing unit 100 and clamps the free end of the adhesive tape again, the tensioning module 110 releases the adhesive tape, and the clamping module 210 moves away from the adhesive dispensing unit 100 by a preset length, so as to perform the next one or more roll-ups and cuts of the adhesive tape while applying the adhesive.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment also discloses an adhesive applicator, including a turntable 400. The turntable 400 is sequentially provided with a loading / unloading station 410 and two adhesive applicator stations 420. Both the loading / unloading station 410 and the two adhesive applicator stations 420 can be used to carry the parts to be adhesiveped. The turntable 400 is rotated so that the parts to be adhesiveped pass through each station in sequence. The adhesive applicator is also provided with a loading / unloading device and two adhesive applicator 600 as described in any of the above schemes. The loading / unloading device is provided corresponding to the loading / unloading station 410, and the adhesive applicator 600 is provided corresponding to the adhesive applicator station 420.

[0048] The adhesive application equipment utilizes a rotatable turntable 400 to move multiple parts to be adhesive-applied between the loading / unloading station 410 and two adhesive application stations 420. This allows the equipment to simultaneously perform loading / unloading and two adhesive application processes, effectively improving application efficiency. The turntable 400 serves as the loading / unloading unit within the adhesive application device. The parts to be adhesive-applied are battery cells, and the two adhesive application stations 420 apply adhesive to the positive and negative terminals of these parts. Both adhesive application stations 420 are equipped with adhesive application devices 600, enabling simultaneous cutting and adhesive application at each station, further enhancing efficiency. Furthermore, the absence of a cutting step after application eliminates the impact of cutting on the application result, ensuring high-quality adhesive application.

[0049] For example, the loading and unloading device can be configured as a robotic arm for transporting battery cells. Each station on the turntable 400 is equipped with a carrying device 700. The carrying device 700 not only positions and supports the battery cells but also avoids interference with the loading and unloading device and the adhesive application device 600 during loading, unloading, and adhesive application. Those skilled in the art can configure it according to actual needs, and no specific limitations are made here. It is understood that the positions of each station do not change with the rotation of the turntable 400.

[0050] Preferably, the turntable 400 is further provided with an inspection station 430, which is located downstream of the two adhesive application stations 420. The adhesive application equipment is also provided with an inspection device 500, which is set corresponding to the inspection station 430. By setting up the inspection station 430, the adhesive application effect is inspected, preventing defective products from entering subsequent steps and improving the yield rate of production. Optionally, the inspection device 500 can be set as a CCD camera, that is, to inspect the adhesive application effect by taking pictures. Specifically, the CCD camera can detect parameters such as the presence or absence of adhesive tape, the application position and area, to further determine whether the adhesive application meets the process standards.

[0051] The working process of the above-mentioned adhesive application equipment is as follows: The first part to be adhesiveped is placed at the loading / unloading station 410 via the loading / unloading device; the turntable 400 rotates, causing the first part to be adhesiveped to rotate to the first adhesive application station 420 for adhesive application. At this time, the second part to be adhesiveped is placed at the loading / unloading station 410 via the loading / unloading device; the turntable 400 rotates, causing the first part to be adhesiveped to rotate to the second adhesive application station 420 for adhesive application. At this time, the second part to be adhesiveped is placed at the first adhesive application station 420 for adhesive application. The third part to be adhesiveped is placed at the loading / unloading station 410 via the loading / unloading device. Material handling station 410; the turntable 400 rotates, causing the first part to be glued to rotate to the inspection station 430 for inspection. At this time, the second part to be glued rotates to the second glue application station 420 for glue application, the third part to be glued rotates to the first glue application station 420 for glue application, and the fourth part to be glued is placed at the loading and unloading station 410 through the loading and unloading device; the turntable 400 rotates, and the first part to be glued is unloaded from the loading and unloading station 410 through the loading and unloading device, and the fifth part to be glued is placed at the loading and unloading station 410 through the loading and unloading device, and so on.

[0052] It is worth noting that the adhesive application equipment is also equipped with an adhesive application NG buffer area. When the detection device 500 detects that the adhesive application is unqualified, the loading and unloading device will place it in the adhesive application NG buffer area; if the detection device 500 detects that the adhesive application is qualified, the loading and unloading device will move it to the subsequent equipment.

[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation method and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
