[0054] The working principle of this utility model:

[0055] This utility model is equipped with a battery processing component for high-quality edge rolling of batteries. The battery is precisely positioned using a positioning mechanism and a pressing mechanism, and the edge rolling is performed using a rolling head with several rotatable edge rolling rollers 7, achieving edge rolling while ensuring battery quality. (See attached diagram) Figure 1 As shown, one end of the battery matches the positioning block 13, and part of the battery extends into the positioning groove 131 of the positioning block 13 to facilitate positioning and fixing of the battery. In this embodiment, the battery is a cylindrical battery, and the positioning groove 131 is cylindrical.

[0056] In this embodiment, the switching lifting unit 15 of the feeding switching mechanism can drive the switching track 16 to rise and fall, thereby matching it to the forward conveyor line 2. The clamping fixtures 1 on the switching track 16 have all placed batteries that have been adjusted by the first adjustment mechanism. Therefore, the clamping fixtures 1 move and are conveyed along the forward conveyor line 2 (from right to left), passing the positions corresponding to the battery processing components. In this embodiment, multiple battery processing components are provided. Each battery processing component includes a positioning mechanism, a pressing mechanism, and a rolling mechanism. The forward conveyor line 2 conveys the clamping fixtures 1 to the corresponding positioning mechanism and rolling machine. Between the components, the positioning mechanism, through the positioning Y-axis moving mechanism 12, causes the positioning block 13 to match and adhere to one end of the battery in the clamping fixture 1; the pressing mechanism, through the pressing lifting mechanism 21, causes the pressing block 4 to press the battery in the clamping fixture downwards; and the rolling mechanism, through the rolling Y-axis moving mechanism 6, causes the rolling head to match the other end of the battery in the clamping fixture 1. In this embodiment, the positioning Y-axis moving mechanism 12, the rolling Y-axis moving mechanism 6, and the pressing lifting mechanism 21 can all be selected as linear modules, lead screw drives, cylinders, or electric cylinders, etc., which can move linearly and reciprocally. The rolling drive unit 5 causes the rolling head to... The pressure head performs edge rolling on the battery. In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the suction pipe 9 near the battery end is larger than the inner diameter of the battery. Multiple notches 11 are provided along the outer edge of the suction pipe 9 near the battery end. Each notch 11 is rotatably equipped with a rolling roller 7. Some of the rolling rollers 7 are located at the notches 11 of the suction pipe 9. Therefore, the distance between the rolling roller 7 and the outer wall of the battery end is closer than the distance between the inner wall of the suction pipe 9 and the outer wall of the battery end. When the rolling drive unit 5 drives the transmission shaft 10 to rotate, the rolling roller 7 rotates along with the base 8, and the rolling roller 7 and the base 8 are rotatably connected. Next, the edge-rolling roller 7 contacts the outer wall of the battery end to perform edge-rolling treatment. The edge-rolling roller 7 can rotate freely to improve its mobility and avoid rigid collisions with the outer wall of the battery end, effectively protecting the battery during the edge-rolling process. At the same time, it can reduce pollution discharge. Particulate matter and contaminants can be discharged through the suction pipe 9. The edge-rolling roller 7 can block the discharge of contaminants through the notch 11 while ensuring the rotation of the edge-rolling roller 7. There are gaps between the notch 11 and the edge-rolling roller 7, and there are gaps between the suction pipe 9 and the battery to ensure gas flow and facilitate the suction pipe 9 to extract contaminants and polluting gases. After the edge-rolling treatment, the battery (via the clamping fixture 1) is transported along the forward conveyor line 2. The swingable first detection unit 20 can detect the edge-rolled battery. Multiple first detection units 20 can be selected to detect the battery to achieve multi-face detection. In this embodiment, three first detection cameras are selected to detect the edge-rolled battery. The three first detection cameras are set at different angles and can be individually swinged to adjust the detection angle of the first detection camera. See attached... Figure 3 , 4 As shown in Figure 5, this embodiment has three notches 11, three rolling rollers 7, and three bearings 19; (See attached figure) Figure 6The arrows indicate the conveying direction of the clamping fixture 1, namely the conveying directions of the forward conveyor line 2 and the reverse conveyor line 3. The loading switching mechanism, the forward conveyor line 2, the unloading switching mechanism, and the reverse conveyor line 3 constitute a circulating conveyor line, which can be used for the cyclic conveying of the clamping fixture 1, and can meet the requirement of continuous edge rolling of cylindrical batteries. During the edge rolling process, the edge rolling roller 7, due to the action of the rolling bearing 19, generates a rolling motion on the edge of the cylindrical battery, which will not damage the cylindrical battery and reduce the rigid collision between the edge rolling roller 7 and the cylindrical battery. In this embodiment, the rolling drive unit 5 can use a motor to drive the transmission shaft 10 to rotate through a synchronous belt, thereby driving the base 8 and the edge rolling roller 7 on the base 8 to rotate.

[0057] After inspection, the battery is transported to the bottom of the unloading clamping unit 18, that is, the battery mounted on the clamping fixture 1 is transported to the switching track 16 of the unloading switching mechanism after processing. The unloading flipping mechanism of the unloading clamping unit 18 moves the processed battery to the unloading through the unloading Y-axis moving mechanism and the unloading lifting mechanism.

[0058] The loading clamping unit 17 includes a loading tilting mechanism, a loading lifting mechanism for raising and lowering the loading tilting mechanism, and a loading Y-axis moving mechanism for adjusting the displacement of the loading lifting mechanism along the Y-axis direction. The unloading clamping unit 18 includes an unloading tilting mechanism, a unloading lifting mechanism for raising and lowering the unloading tilting mechanism, and an unloading Y-axis moving mechanism for adjusting the displacement of the unloading lifting mechanism along the Y-axis direction. The loading tilting mechanism includes a loading gripper and a loading tilting drive unit for tilting the loading gripper. The unloading tilting mechanism includes a unloading gripper and a unloading tilting drive unit for tilting the unloading gripper. The tilting drive unit tilts the loading gripper holding the battery, and the loading Y-axis moving mechanism drives the loading gripper to place the battery onto the corresponding clamping fixture 1. The unloading clamping unit 18 and the loading clamping unit 17 have the same structural principle, so they will not be described again. Figure 1 In the diagram, A represents a cylindrical battery.
