Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery production technology, and in particular to a press-fitting adhesive nail device. Background Technology

[0002] With societal development, the quality requirements for batteries are becoming increasingly stringent. The battery casing is an integral part of the battery. During production, the battery casing requires surface coating. However, the casing typically has multiple threaded holes for easy installation. During the coating process, paint (or other coating materials) can easily get into these holes, affecting subsequent assembly and causing misalignment (or even preventing the screwing in of threaded fasteners), thus impacting assembly quality. To address this issue, existing solutions include using adhesive pins inserted into the threaded holes to prevent paint from entering. However, manually inserting these adhesive pins is inefficient and unsuitable for practical production needs.

[0003] Therefore, there is a need to design a press-fit device that can improve the efficiency of inserting the adhesive pins into the battery casing.

[0004] The above information is provided as background information only to aid in understanding this disclosure and does not constitute an assertion or admission that any of the above content can be used as prior art relative to this disclosure. Utility Model Content

[0042] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6This utility model provides a press-fitting adhesive nail device, including a workpiece conveying device 1, an XY module 2 mounted on one side of the top of the workpiece conveying device 1, a press-fitting adhesive nail robot 3 mounted on the XY module 2, and a vibratory feeder assembly 4 for supplying adhesive nails 100 to the press-fitting adhesive nail robot 3. The XY module 2 drives the press-fitting adhesive nail robot 3 to move horizontally. The press-fitting adhesive nail robot 3 includes a gripper 31 for gripping the adhesive nail 100, a drive cylinder 32 for controlling the movement of the gripper 31, and a downward pressing drive device 33 for driving the drive cylinder 32 to move downward. When the gripper 31 holding the adhesive nail moves to a suitable position, the downward pressing drive device 33 drives the drive cylinder 32 and the gripper 31 to press down synchronously, pressing the adhesive nail into the threaded hole. It should be noted that the outer diameter of one end of the adhesive nail is adapted to the diameter of the threaded hole, thereby sealing the threaded hole and preventing sprayed materials from entering the threaded hole.

[0043] In this embodiment, the press-fitting adhesive nail equipment works by having the workpiece conveying device 1 transport the battery casing to a designated station. The press-fitting adhesive nail robot 3 and the XY module 2 then work together to grip the adhesive nails 100 output from the vibratory feeder 4 assembly. The adhesive nails 100 are then pressed into the threaded holes of the battery casing, ensuring a precise seal. In this embodiment, the coordinated operation of the workpiece conveying device 1, the vibratory feeder assembly 4, the XY module 2, and the press-fitting adhesive nail robot 3 automates the press-fitting of adhesive nails 100, effectively improving both efficiency and quality.

[0044] It should be noted that the workpiece conveying device 1 can drive the battery casing to move laterally.

[0045] Optionally, the drive cylinder 32 is provided with a negative pressure adsorption tube 34 for adsorbing one end of the adhesive nail 100. The end of the negative pressure adsorption tube 34 away from the gripper 31 is connected to a negative pressure adsorption device (not shown). The gripper 31 includes two opposing gripping arms 311. The adsorption port of the negative pressure adsorption tube 34 is located between the two gripping arms 311, and one end of the adhesive nail 100 can be inserted into the adsorption port of the negative pressure adsorption tube 34. In this embodiment, the negative pressure adsorption tube 34 adsorbs the top of the adhesive nail 100, and the two gripping arms 311 simultaneously clamp the adhesive nail 100, keeping the adhesive nail 100 in a vertically downward state. This further improves the pressing quality of the adhesive nail 100, reduces the possibility of the adhesive nail 100 deviating, and also increases the success rate of inserting the adhesive nail 100 into the threaded hole on the battery casing. In this embodiment, the negative pressure adsorption tube 34 passes through the negative pressure adsorption tube 34 and is fixedly connected to the negative pressure adsorption tube 34.

[0046] An optional press-fitting device for adhesive studs is characterized by further including a CCD camera assembly 5 mounted on one side of the top of the workpiece conveying device 1. The CCD camera assembly 5 is electrically connected to the corresponding XY module 2 and the corresponding press-fitting robot 3. The CCD camera assembly 5 captures images of the battery casing and identifies the positions of the threaded holes on the battery casing. Based on the positions of the threaded holes detected by the CCD camera assembly 5, the press-fitting robot 3 presses a suitable-sized adhesive stud 100 into the threaded hole. It should also be noted that pressing the adhesive stud 100 into the threaded hole means that the insertion post 103 of the adhesive stud 100 is completely pressed into the corresponding threaded hole, while other parts of the adhesive stud 100 remain exposed on the outside, facilitating subsequent removal of the adhesive stud 100.

[0047] Optionally, the vibratory feeder assembly 4 includes a first vibratory feeder 41 and a second vibratory feeder 42, and both the first vibratory feeder 41 and the second vibratory feeder 42 are provided with a vibratory conveying rail for extending into one side of the top of the workpiece conveying device 1. A positioning block 401 for positioning the rubber nail 100 is installed at the end of the vibratory conveying rail, and the positioning block 401 is provided with a positioning groove; the positioning block 401 is located between the workpiece conveying device 1 and the XY module 2. The rubber nail 100 slides into the positioning groove during the conveying of the vibratory conveying rail to complete the positioning.

[0048] Optionally, at least two XY modules 2 are spaced apart on the top of the workpiece conveying device 1, and each XY module 2 is equipped with a pressing and fitting robot 3; each pressing and fitting robot 3 is equipped with a set of vibratory feeder assemblies 4.

[0049] Optionally, the XY module 2 is configured with 9 units, and the vibratory feeder assembly 4 is configured with 9 units accordingly.

[0050] Optionally, the press-fitting device also includes a cover 6, which surrounds the XY module 2, and the vibratory feeder assembly 4 is mounted on the side of the cover 6. The cover 6 serves to protect and separate the components.

[0051] Optionally, the workpiece conveying device 1 is a double-speed chain conveyor line.

[0052] Optionally, the adhesive nail 100 includes a clamping post portion 101 that can be inserted into the suction port, an annular protrusion 102 connecting the clamping post portion 101, and an insertion post portion 103 connecting the annular protrusion 102 for insertion into a threaded hole of the workpiece. Specifically, in this embodiment, the adhesive nail 100, by providing the annular protrusion 102, further increases the shielding area, which can more effectively prevent paint from entering the threaded hole.

[0053] Optionally, the press-fitting glue nail equipment also includes a touch screen component 7, which is electrically connected to the workpiece conveying device 1, the XY module 2, and the press-fitting glue nail robot 3.

[0054] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text and drawings of this application, this should not limit the scope of patent protection of this application. Any technical solutions that are based on the essential concept of this application and utilize the content described in the text and drawings of this application, resulting in equivalent structural or procedural substitutions or modifications, as well as the direct or indirect application of the technical solutions of the above embodiments to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
