Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery production technology, and in particular to a battery assembly device. Background Technology

[0002] In battery manufacturing, the assembly of the negative pressure ring is a crucial step. The negative pressure ring seals the battery casing, ensuring the airtightness and safety of the battery's interior. However, traditional assembly equipment uses negative pressure adsorption to pick up the negative pressure ring. During this process, the adsorption device cannot accurately detect and position the ring, leading to misalignment between the adsorption head and the ring. This often results in material leakage, wasting materials and potentially affecting the continuity and efficiency of the production line. Furthermore, during the installation of the negative pressure ring onto the battery casing, traditional assembly equipment suffers from issues such as the negative pressure mechanism failing to close tightly or residual negative pressure remaining at the adsorption head after the mechanism is closed. This prevents the adsorption device from releasing the ring in time, hindering accurate installation. Such situations can lead to assembly failure and even damage to the battery casing or the negative pressure ring, affecting product quality. Therefore, existing assembly equipment typically requires manual intervention or multiple operations to complete the suction and installation of the negative pressure ring, increasing operational difficulty, reducing production efficiency, and failing to meet the demands of large-scale production.

When the adsorption unit is located at the installation station, the adsorption head is separated from the negative pressure tube.

[0008] In one embodiment, the adsorption head is provided with a negative pressure port for inserting the negative pressure tube at one end near the negative pressure tube, and the adsorption unit further includes a driving component that is driven to drive the negative pressure tube into the negative pressure port and cause the negative pressure tube to seal the negative pressure port.

[0009] In one embodiment, the end of the adsorption head away from the negative pressure tube is provided with an adsorption port communicating with the negative pressure port. A movable plate is movably connected to the positioning base. The movable plate is provided with a detection hole and a material inlet. A material sensor is provided on the movable plate at the position corresponding to the detection hole. The movable plate has a first position and a second position. When the movable plate is in the first position, the detection hole is located above the positioning groove. When the movable plate is in the second position, the material inlet is located above the positioning groove. When the adsorption unit is located at the material inlet station, the adsorption head is located above the material inlet.

[0010] In one embodiment, multiple sets of adsorption components are arranged around the turntable. Each set of adsorption components includes multiple adsorption units, which are arranged side by side in sequence. The number of positioning grooves, detection holes, feeding ports and material sensors is the same as the number of adsorption units in each set of adsorption components. When the adsorption components are located at the feeding station, each adsorption unit is located above a corresponding positioning groove.

[0011] In one embodiment, the adsorption unit further includes a preparation station and a dust removal station. The preparation station, the material picking station, the dust removal station, and the installation station are arranged in a uniform manner around the outer periphery of the turntable. The adsorption assembly is provided in four sets, and the four sets of adsorption assemblies are respectively arranged at the positions of the preparation station, the material picking station, the dust removal station, and the installation station.

[0012] In one embodiment, a first dust removal mechanism is provided at the dust removal station, and a dust removal trough is provided on the first dust removal mechanism. When the adsorption unit is located at the dust removal station, the driving component drives the adsorption unit to move closer to the dust removal trough so as to insert the material adsorbed on the adsorption head into the dust removal trough.

[0013] In one embodiment, the drive assembly includes a cam lifting divider, which includes a driver and a lifting shaft. The driver is connected to the lifting shaft to drive the lifting shaft to perform intermittent synchronous lifting and rotating movements. The lifting shaft is connected to the turntable, and the lifting shaft rotates 90° each time.

[0014] In one embodiment, the feeding mechanism further includes a hopper, a tray, and a conveying channel connected in sequence. The top of the hopper is open to form the feeding end, and the end of the conveying channel away from the tray is the discharging end. The tray is connected to a vibrator.

[0018] This utility model discloses a battery assembly device. A positioning detection component is installed at the discharge end of the feeding mechanism. This component includes a positioning groove connected to the discharge end, allowing material to be positioned after being fed from the feeding mechanism and exiting into the positioning groove. A material sensor detects whether the material accurately falls into the positioning groove, ensuring accurate feeding. After feeding, a turntable rotates, causing the adsorption unit to rotate above the positioning groove. At this point, the adsorption unit is in the material-retrieving position, with the adsorption head connected to a negative pressure pipe. A pressure switch is turned on to activate negative pressure, giving the adsorption head a negative pressure adsorption force. A drive component moves the adsorption head closer to the positioning groove to suck up the material. The adsorption head then moves away from the positioning groove to reset. Finally, the turntable rotates, moving the adsorption unit to the installation position. At this point, the pressure switch is turned off, and the adsorption head is separated from the negative pressure pipe, ensuring complete disengagement of the negative pressure connection. This allows the material to fall smoothly from the adsorption head and into the designated position for installation. This device ensures accurate material absorption by the adsorption unit and guarantees that the material is placed in the designated position to complete the installation, ensuring the stability and smoothness of the installation process, which is conducive to improving product yield and production efficiency.

[0033] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, a battery assembly apparatus of this embodiment includes a feeding mechanism 100, a positioning detection component 200, and an assembly mechanism 300. The feeding mechanism 100 includes an inlet end 101 and an outlet end 102. The positioning detection component 200 includes a positioning base 210, on which a positioning groove 211 is provided. The positioning groove 211 is connected to the outlet end 102. A material sensor 220 is provided on the positioning base 210 corresponding to the positioning groove 211. The assembly mechanism 300 includes a turntable 310 and a drive component. The turntable 310 is provided with a... The adsorption unit 331 includes an adsorption head 3311 and a negative pressure tube 3312. The adsorption unit 331 has a material picking station 2 and an installation station 4. When the adsorption unit 331 is located at the material picking station 2, the adsorption head 3311 is connected to the negative pressure tube 3312 and the adsorption head 3311 is set towards the positioning groove 211. The driving component is connected to the adsorption head 3311 to drive the adsorption head 3311 to move closer to or away from the positioning groove 211. When the adsorption unit 331 is located at the installation station 4, the adsorption head 3311 is separated from the negative pressure tube 3312.

[0038] In this embodiment, a positioning detection component 200 is provided at the discharge end 102 of the feeding mechanism 100. The positioning detection component 200 includes a positioning groove 211 connected to the discharge end 102, so that after the material is fed from the feeding mechanism 100, it enters the positioning groove 211 from the discharge end 102 for positioning. The material sensor 220 detects whether the material falls accurately into the positioning groove 211, ensuring accurate material feeding. After the material feeding is completed, the turntable 310 is rotated so that the adsorption unit 331 rotates above the positioning groove 211. At this time, the adsorption unit 331 is located at the material picking station 2. The adsorption head 3311 is connected to the negative pressure pipe 3312. The pressure switch 332 is turned on to start the negative pressure so that the adsorption head 3311 has a negative pressure adsorption force. The adsorption head 3311 is driven to move closer to the positioning groove 211 by the driving component so that the adsorption head 3311 can suck up the material located in the positioning groove 211. Then, the adsorption head 3311 is driven to move away from the positioning groove 211 to reset.

[0039] Finally, the turntable 310 rotates, driving the adsorption unit 331 to the installation station 4. At this point, the pressure switch 332 is turned off, and the adsorption head 3311 separates from the negative pressure tube 3312 to ensure that the material falls smoothly into the designated position to complete the installation. This device ensures that the adsorption unit 331 accurately picks up the material and ensures that the material is placed in the designated position to complete the installation, guaranteeing the stability and smoothness of the installation process, which is beneficial to improving product yield and production efficiency.

[0040] In one embodiment, the adsorption head 3311 has a negative pressure port 3313 near the negative pressure tube 3312 for the tube to be inserted. The adsorption unit 331 also includes a driving member 3314 that is pulsatorically connected to the negative pressure tube 3312. The driving member 3314 drives the negative pressure tube 3312 to move closer to or away from the negative pressure port 3313. Specifically, the driving member 3314 drives the negative pressure tube 3312 to be inserted into the negative pressure port 3313 and seals the negative pressure port 3313, thereby connecting the negative pressure tube 3312 with the adsorption head 3311 and enabling the adsorption head 3311 to have a negative pressure adsorption effect. Conversely, the driving member 3314 drives the negative pressure tube 3312 to be separated from the negative pressure port 3313, thereby separating the negative pressure tube 3312 from the adsorption head 3311 and releasing the negative pressure adsorption effect of the adsorption head 3311. Specifically, in actual operation, the small drive component 3314 adopts a drive cylinder, which is convenient to install and easy to operate.

[0041] In one embodiment, the end of the adsorption head 3311 away from the negative pressure pipe 3312 is provided with an adsorption port 3315 communicating with the negative pressure port 3313, through which the material is sucked up. A movable plate 230 is movably connected to the positioning base 210. The movable plate 230 is provided with a detection hole 231 and a material intake port 232. A material sensor 220 is provided on the movable plate 230 at the position corresponding to the detection hole 231. The movable plate 230 has a first position and a second position. When the movable plate 230 is in the first position, the detection hole 231 is above the positioning groove 211. When the movable plate 230 is in the second position, the material intake port 232 is above the positioning groove 211. When the adsorption unit 331 is located at the material intake station 2, the adsorption head 3311 is above the material intake port 232.

[0042] Furthermore, a drive motor 240 is provided on one side of the positioning base 210. The drive motor 240 is connected to the movable plate 230 to drive the movable plate 230 to move on the positioning base 210. Specifically, the movable plate 230 is initially located in the first position. When the feeding mechanism 100 conveys the material from the discharge end 102 into the positioning groove 211, the material sensor 220 passes through the detection hole 231 to detect the position of the material in the positioning groove 211. If the material is detected to be accurately positioned in the positioning groove 211, the drive motor 240 drives the movable plate 230 to move to the second position. At this time, the material sensor 220 and the detection hole 231 are directly above the positioning groove 211, and the picking port 232 is located directly above the positioning groove 211, so that the suction head 3311 located directly above the picking port 232 can pass through the picking port 232 and perform a suction operation on the material in the positioning groove 211.

[0043] In one embodiment, multiple sets of adsorption components 330 are arranged around the turntable 310. Each set of adsorption components 330 includes multiple adsorption units 331, which are arranged side by side in sequence. The number of positioning slots 211, detection holes 231, material inlets 232, and material sensors 220 is the same as the number of adsorption units 331 in each set of adsorption components 330. When the adsorption component 330 is located at the material picking station 2, each adsorption unit 331 is located above a corresponding positioning slot 211, so that multiple materials can be picked up simultaneously in each operation. Similarly, after multiple adsorption units 331 have finished picking up materials, they move to the installation station 4 to simultaneously install multiple products. Furthermore, the multiple sets of adsorption components 330, driven by the turntable 310, continuously perform material picking and installation operations, which helps to improve the overall operation efficiency.

[0044] In one embodiment, the adsorption unit 331 further includes a preparation station 1 and a dust removal station 3. The preparation station 1, material handling station 2, dust removal station 3, and installation station 4 are arranged sequentially and evenly around the outer periphery of the turntable 310. Four sets of adsorption components 330 are provided, corresponding to the positions of the preparation station 1, material handling station 2, dust removal station 3, and installation station 4, respectively. This ensures that each workstation always has a set of adsorption components 330, and that the adsorption components 330 at each workstation can perform their corresponding operations synchronously. Driven by the turntable 310, the four sets of adsorption components 330 sequentially and continuously complete each process operation, which helps improve the workflow and efficiency of the operation.

[0045] In one embodiment, a first dust removal mechanism 410 is provided at the dust removal station 3. The first dust removal mechanism 410 is provided with a dust removal trough 411. The driving component drives the adsorption unit 331 to move closer to or away from the dust removal trough 411. Specifically, when the adsorption unit 331 picks up material at the suction station, it moves with the turntable 310 to the dust removal station 3. The driving component drives the adsorption unit 331 to move closer to the dust removal trough 411 so that the material adsorbed on the adsorption head 3311 is inserted into the dust removal trough 411 for dust removal treatment. This ensures that the dust removal is thorough before the material is transported to the installation station 4 for installation, thus ensuring the quality of the product.

[0046] Furthermore, the device also includes a first static eliminator 510, which is located on one side of the first dust removal mechanism 410. When the auxiliary unit picks up the material at the suction station and moves it to the dust removal station 3, a second static eliminator is performed simultaneously during the further dust removal process, thereby further ensuring thorough static eliminator removal and ensuring operational safety.

[0047] In one embodiment, the drive assembly includes a cam lifting divider 320, which includes a driver 321 and a lifting shaft 322. The driver 321 is connected to the lifting shaft 322 to drive the lifting shaft 322 to perform intermittent synchronous lifting and rotation. The lifting shaft 322 is connected to a turntable 310 to drive the turntable 310 to perform synchronous lifting and rotation. The lifting shaft 322 rotates 90° each time.

[0048] Specifically, during the operation, the initial position of one of the adsorption units 331 is located at the preparation station 1. A position sensor 600 is installed on one side of the preparation station 1. After the position sensor 600 detects that the adsorption component 330 is in position, it activates the cam lifting divider 320 to drive the turntable 310 to rise and rotate 90° synchronously to the material picking station 2. When the turntable 310 approaches the material picking station 2, it moves downward and drives the adsorption unit 331 downward to the positioning groove 211 to pick up the material. Subsequently, the cam lifting divider 320 drives the turntable 310 to rise and reset, and synchronously drives the turntable 310 to rotate 90° again, so that the adsorption component 330 rotates to the dust removal station 3. With the same action, when the turntable 310 approaches the dust removal station 3, it moves downward and drives the adsorption unit 331 downward, inserting the material into the dust removal groove 411 for dust removal. Then, the cam lifting divider 320 drives the turntable 310 to rise again and rotate 90° synchronously, so that the adsorption component 330 rotates to the installation position 4. When the turntable 310 is close to the installation position 4, it makes a downward movement and drives the adsorption component 330 to descend and place the material in the designated position.

[0049] In this embodiment, the cam lifting divider 320 drives the turntable 310 and the adsorption assembly 330 to perform synchronous rotation and lifting actions, enabling the adsorption assembly 330 to complete the entire assembly action. At the same time, the four adsorption assemblies 330 can complete each process operation in sequence without interruption. The overall device operates smoothly, improving the linkage between various components and thus improving production efficiency.

[0050] In this embodiment, the material is a negative pressure ring 5. At the installation station 4, the cam lifting divider 320 drives the adsorption assembly 330 to descend and place the negative pressure ring 5 at the designated position directly above the battery steel shell 6, completing the assembly of the negative pressure ring 5 and the battery steel shell 6. Of course, in other embodiments, this device can also be used for the assembly of other products, ensuring accurate material handling and placement in the designated position, resulting in high production efficiency and yield.

[0051] Furthermore, in this embodiment, by setting a set of adsorption components 330 for each workstation, the adsorption components 330 at the material handling station 2, dust removal station 3 and installation station 4 can synchronously complete the corresponding actions when the cam lifting divider 320 performs each action, and complete continuous operation through the drive of the turntable 310, resulting in high work efficiency.

[0052] In one embodiment, the feeding mechanism 100 includes a hopper 110, a tray 120, and a conveying channel 130 connected in sequence. The top of the hopper 110 is open to form a feeding end 101. The end of the conveying channel 130 away from the tray 120 is set as a discharging end 102. The tray 120 is connected to a vibrator 140, which drives the tray 120 to vibrate and feed materials. In actual operation, when multiple adsorption units 331 are set for each adsorption assembly 330, the end of the tray 120 near the conveying channel 130 is provided with the same number of discharging channels 121 as the adsorption units 331, realizing the discharging operation of multiple negative pressure rings 5 ​​at one time.

[0053] Furthermore, the device also includes a second static eliminator 520, which is located on one side of the material tray 120. It can perform a timely static eliminator operation on the negative pressure ring 5 immediately after it is fed from the hopper 110 to the material tray 120, ensuring the safety of subsequent operations.

[0054] In one embodiment, the material conveying channel 130 includes a channel body 131, and a material conveying trough 132 is provided in the channel body 131. The number of material conveying troughs 132 is the same as that of the discharge channel 121. One end of the material conveying trough 132 is connected to the discharge channel 121, and the other end of the material conveying trough 132 is the discharge end 102. The negative pressure ring 5 is conveyed to the material conveying trough 132 through the discharge channel 121 of the material tray 120, and then conveyed to the positioning groove 211 through the discharge end 102 to complete the feeding.

[0055] Furthermore, a second dust removal mechanism 420 and a third dust removal mechanism 430 are sequentially arranged on the main body of the channel 131 along the material conveying direction. The second dust removal mechanism 420 and the third dust removal mechanism 430 are respectively located on opposite sides of the main body of the channel 131. Dust removal holes 133 are respectively provided on both sides of the main body of the channel 131 corresponding to the second dust removal mechanism 420 and the third dust removal mechanism 430. The dust removal holes 133 are connected to the conveying trough 132, so that the second dust removal mechanism 420 and the third dust removal mechanism 430 can remove dust from the material located in the conveying trough 132 through the dust removal holes 133. In actual operation, the dust removal hole 133 is set as an elongated hole, and the outer diameter of the negative pressure ring 5 is larger than the width of the dust removal hole 133 to prevent the negative pressure ring 5 from falling off the dust removal hole 133.

[0056] And, as Figure 9 In actual operation, the second dust removal mechanism 420 and the third dust removal mechanism 430 respectively remove dust from the materials from both sides of the conveying channel 130, employing two dust removal processes to ensure thorough dust removal. Furthermore, the second dust removal mechanism 420 is located on the side of the conveying channel 130 adjacent to the discharge channel 121 of the material tray 120 to perform the first step of dust removal on the negative pressure ring 5 output from the material tray 120. Subsequently, the third dust removal mechanism 430 is located on the side of the conveying channel 130 adjacent to the discharge end 102 to perform the second step of dust removal on the negative pressure ring 5 output from the conveying channel 130. This ensures that the negative pressure ring 5 undergoes thorough dust removal before being fed into the positioning groove 211, thereby guaranteeing complete dust removal of the negative pressure ring 5. This ensures smooth suction of the negative pressure ring 5 by the adsorption unit 331 and prevents damage caused by impurities being sucked into the adsorption unit 331.

[0057] In one embodiment, the bottom of the hopper 110 is provided with a discharge trough 111, which allows the negative pressure rings 5 ​​to be initially combed as they pass through the discharge trough 111, preventing the negative pressure rings 5 ​​from falling directly and quickly into the material tray 120, causing the negative pressure rings 5 ​​to stack or splash and fall off the material tray 120. Furthermore, an inclined chute 112 is provided at the end of the discharge trough 111 near the material tray 120, allowing the negative pressure rings 5 ​​to slide slowly into the material tray 120 through the chute 112, ensuring stable feeding. Even further, the chute 112 is rotatably connected to the discharge trough 111. By adjusting the inclination angle of the chute 112, the feeding speed of the material can be adjusted to match the actual assembly operation speed, avoiding untimely material feeding or material accumulation, and ensuring the smoothness of the overall operation.
