Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery assembly technology, and in particular to an integrated machine for testing and assembling battery cover buttons. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the assembly of battery cover button assemblies is mostly done manually, which leads to problems such as unstable assembly accuracy, missing inspection steps resulting in defective products being released, and high labor costs. Furthermore, traditional equipment lacks an integrated positioning and inspection system, making it impossible to achieve process control of assembly quality. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a battery cover button inspection and assembly integrated machine, which has the characteristics of relatively stable product quality and the ability to achieve process control.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this invention is: a battery cover and button detection and assembly integrated machine, used to fix the battery cover and battery button together, including a frame and an assembly unit fixed on the frame, the integrated machine also includes a detection module and a control unit fixed on the frame;

[0005] in,

[0006] The assembly unit includes a fixing base for fixing the battery cover, a button-shaped clamp for placing the battery button, a 90-degree clamping cylinder that matches the button-shaped clamp, and a button-pressing cylinder that matches the fixing base.

[0007] The detection module includes an optical fiber detection device that is compatible with both the fixed base and the button-shaped clamp.

[0008] The control unit integrates a start button, an emergency stop button, and a human-machine interface;

[0009] as well as,

[0010] The fiber optic detection device is connected to the control unit.

[0011] The control unit signal is connected to the 90-degree clamping cylinder and the button press-fitting cylinder;

[0012] The mounting base is equipped with a pressure sensor, and the pressure sensor signal is connected to the control unit.

[0013] The control unit is connected to a visual inspection device, which is connected to a counter and a buzzer via the control unit.

[0014] The counter is connected to a data storage unit.

[0015] The all-in-one machine also includes a safety light curtain, which is linked to the emergency stop button.

[0016] The advantages of this invention compared to existing technologies are: more stable product quality and the ability to achieve process control. The battery cover button inspection and assembly integrated machine of this invention implements three-stage inspection. Specifically, in the material pre-positioning stage, fiber optics detect the material positioning accuracy; in the pressing stage, pressure sensors monitor the pressing force against a set curve; and in the final product stage, visual inspection checks the assembly completion. This ensures stable product quality and effectively achieves process control. Attached Figure Description

[0027] See the example. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown: Battery cover and button testing and assembly integrated machine, used to fix battery cover and battery button together, including frame 10, and assembly unit, testing module and control unit fixed on frame 10.

[0028] Specifically:

[0029] The assembly unit includes a fixing base 21 for securing the battery cover, a button-shaped clamp 22 for placing the battery button, a 90-degree clamping cylinder 23 that mates with the button-shaped clamp 22, and a button-pressing cylinder 24 that mates with the fixing base 21. That is, the fixing base 21 and the button-shaped clamp 22 form a positioning mechanism for product assembly, the 90-degree clamping cylinder 23 constitutes a locking device during product assembly, and the button-pressing cylinder 24 performs the assembly action.

[0030] The detection module includes an optical fiber detection device 31 that is compatible with both the fixed base 21 and the button-shaped clamp 22. The optical fiber detection device 31 can be composed of multiple common optical fiber detection units, which are set at corresponding positions from multiple angles to achieve multi-station detection. It can detect whether the battery cover is fixed on the fixed base 21 and whether the battery button is placed on the button-shaped clamp 22.

[0031] The control unit integrates a start button 41, an emergency stop button 42, and a human-machine interface.

[0032] More specifically:

[0033] The fiber optic detection device 31 is signal-connected to the control unit. The control unit is signal-connected to the 90-degree clamping cylinder 23 and the button pressing cylinder 24. A pressing sensor (not shown in the figure) is provided on the fixed base 21, and the pressing sensor is signal-connected to the control unit. That is, the fiber optic detection device 31 transmits a signal indicating whether the product is in place to the control unit; the control unit controls the operation of the 90-degree clamping cylinder 23 and the button pressing cylinder 24 based on the received signal; the pressing sensor senses the pressure and transmits the pressure signal to the control unit, which then determines whether the battery cover and the battery button are properly assembled.

[0034] Further optimization:

[0035] The control unit is connected to a visual inspection device 50, which in turn is connected to a counter 51 and a buzzer 52 via the control unit. The counter 51 is connected to a data storage unit. Specifically, the visual inspection device 50 collects and compares visual data, then transmits the signals to the control unit for a secondary determination of whether the product is assembled correctly. If the product is assembled correctly, the counter 51 counts the data and transmits the count to the data storage unit; otherwise, the buzzer sounds an alarm.

[0036] The battery cover button detection assembly also includes a safety light curtain 60, which is linked to the emergency stop button 42. That is, when the safety light curtain 60 detects a safety hazard, it triggers the emergency stop button 42 through the control unit, or when the operator discovers an emergency, they can press the emergency stop button 42 to stop the entire machine.

[0037] The workflow of this invention is as follows: The battery cover and button are manually placed on the fixed base 21 and the contour clamp 22; after the start button 41 is triggered, the fiber optic detection device 31 verifies the material's arrival status; when the material is in place, the 90-degree pressing cylinder 23 performs product fixing, and the button pressing cylinder 24 completes precision pressing; the visual inspection device 50 performs a second inspection to confirm the assembly quality, and the counter 51 accumulates the output of qualified products; in case of abnormality, the buzzer 52 alarms; finally, the equipment is reset after the parts are manually removed.

[0038] The start button 41, emergency stop button 42, and human-machine interface integrated in this control unit are all conventional components used in this field and can be connected in a conventional manner, so they will not be described in detail.

[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of the present invention's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
