[0002] Battery inkjet printing equipment is gradually being installed in existing small-scale and pilot-scale battery production lines to print codes on the batteries on the production line. However, there are some batteries that are not printed or have defective printing in the production line. At this time, it is necessary to rework the printing of these batteries, but there is currently no suitable battery inkjet printing equipment or rework printing equipment.
[0003] The prior art patent document CN205523066U relates to a battery inkjet printer, including a first bracket, a worktable on the first bracket, an inkjet printer above the worktable, the worktable including a worktable support, a conveyor belt on the worktable support, two symmetrically placed clamps on the conveyor belt, and the gap between the two clamps forming a battery passage groove, in which a battery is placed. Another patent document, CN118849637A, relates to a polymer lithium-ion battery surface printing device and its usage method. It includes a product platform with a tooling fixture positioned at the center of the top of the platform. Y-axis are located on both sides of the product platform, and X-axis are movably mounted on the Y-axis. Inkjet printers are movably mounted on both the X and Y axes, and the printers print on lithium battery samples on the tooling fixture as they move along the X and Y axes. An outlet, located between the two Y-axis and away from the tooling fixture, is connected to a lithium-ion battery production line for conveying lithium battery samples onto the tooling fixture. Both patent documents involve stationary inkjet printers, with the battery products being moved and transported to the printers for printing. This inevitably involves moving equipment such as tracks and conveyor belts, resulting in a complex structure and higher costs. Utility Model Content

[0030] In the description of this specification, the terms "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that the specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of this utility model. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.
[0031] This utility model embodiment provides a manual battery inkjet printing device, including:
[0032] Inkjet printer 1, including printhead 11;
[0033] The electric cylinder 2 includes a movable assembly 12; the nozzle 11 is connected to the assembly 12 and moves with the assembly 12.
[0034] Battery fixture 3, located in the spray direction of the nozzle 11, is used to load a battery.
[0035] For a small number of batteries that need to be marked, although inkjet printer 1 is currently used to complete the marking operation on the batteries, most of the methods used are to move the batteries under the printhead 11 to complete the marking. In fact, this mode inevitably requires a mobile device to move the batteries, which includes tracks, conveyor belts, etc., which will increase the cost.
[0036] This utility model sets the printhead 11 of the inkjet printer 1 on the electric cylinder 2. The printhead 11 is moved by the electric cylinder 2. A battery fixture 3 is set at the bottom of the spray direction of the printhead 11. The battery fixture 3 is used to place the battery. In this way, the battery is a stationary structure. By moving the printhead 11 above, the battery can be printed.
[0037] This utility model mainly uses an electric cylinder 2 combined with an inkjet printer 1 to achieve inkjet printing operation for a small number of batteries. The whole equipment has a simple structure, occupies little space, and is easy to operate. It is especially suitable for inkjet printing of a small number of batteries or inkjet printing operation for rework.
[0038] The aforementioned accessory 12 mainly serves to fix the nozzle 11. Specifically, it can be a mounting plate, with one side fixed to the electric cylinder 2 and the other side fixedly connected to the nozzle 11.
[0039] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the electric cylinder 2 includes a servo motor 21 and a lead screw 22. The output shaft of the servo motor 21 is connected to the lead screw 22, driving the movable end of the lead screw 22 to perform telescopic movement. The assembly 12 is installed on the movable end of the lead screw 22.
[0040] The specific structure of the electric cylinder 2 is an integrated combination of the servo motor 21 and the lead screw 22, which realizes the conversion of the rotation of the servo motor 21 into linear movement. Generally, the output shaft of the servo motor 21 is connected to one of the two threaded lead screws 22, driving it to rotate. This drives the other lead screw 22 to move axially. In this utility model, the mounting part 12 that fixes the nozzle 11 is installed on the movable end of the lead screw 22, and its position changes as the lead screw 22 moves. In this way, the nozzle 11 performs the coding operation on the battery while moving.
[0041] In an optional embodiment of this invention, the electric cylinder 2 further includes a position sensor 7 for sensing the moving position of the nozzle 11.
[0042] The electric cylinder 2 of this utility model is also equipped with a position sensor 7, which is used to sense the moving position of the nozzle 11. This can effectively control the movement of the nozzle 11 and reduce energy consumption. In particular, in the optional scheme of this utility model, the position sensor 7 includes a starting position sensor, which is used to monitor whether the nozzle 11 is in the starting position when the coding begins.
[0043] A sensor is set at the starting position to ensure that the printhead 11 returns to the starting position after printing the code, so as to facilitate the printing operation of the next battery. This is equivalent to a reset detection and also serves as the origin positioning function.
[0044] The position sensor 7 is mainly used to sense the position of the printhead 11, especially at the starting position of the printhead 11, to facilitate the next coding operation. The position sensor 7 can include a potential position sensor, an inductive position sensor, etc. Its working principle is that the position sensor 7 is set in a fixed position, and the printhead 11 will be sensed when it reaches the vicinity of this position. For example, a specific model of the position sensor 7 is EE-SX951-W. After the printhead 11 moves with the electric cylinder 2 and returns to the starting position according to the program control after coding is completed, the position sensor 7 will sense it, and the electric cylinder 2 and the printhead 11 will stop operating.
[0045] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the battery fixture 3 includes a fixed base 31 and a limiting block, the limiting block being disposed on the fixed base 31; there are two opposing limiting blocks, at least one of the two limiting blocks being movable; the battery is fixed between the two limiting blocks.
[0046] In this invention, the battery fixture 3 is mainly used to hold the battery, and the battery is simply fixed without being too tight, so that the next battery can be placed after it is removed for inkjet printing; therefore, the battery fixture 3 uses a fixed base 31 with two opposing limiting blocks, such as... Figure 2 The left limiting block 33 and the right limiting block 32 shown are movable at least one of them. This allows the limiting blocks to be moved according to the battery model and size, so that the gap between the two limiting blocks can be adapted to achieve simple clamping and fixing of the battery.
[0047] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the manual battery inkjet printer further includes a control mechanism, which is electrically connected to the electric cylinder 2 and the inkjet printer 1, and adjusts the movement of the printhead 11 to adapt to the inkjet printing process of the printhead 11.
[0048] This utility model relates to a manual battery inkjet printing device, which is controlled by a control mechanism. The control mechanism is connected to the electric cylinder 2 and the inkjet printer 1 respectively. By acquiring signals from the inkjet printer 1 and the electric cylinder 2, the movement of the printhead 11 and the inkjet printing process of the printhead 11 are adjusted to adapt to the operation, simplifying the operator's operation process and reducing the difficulty of battery inkjet printing.
[0049] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the control mechanism includes a control cabinet 5, a touch screen 4, and a control switch. The control cabinet 5 is connected to the electric cylinder 2, the inkjet printer 1, the touch screen 4, and the control switch, respectively. The control switch includes a foot switch 6.
[0050] The control mechanism may include a control cabinet 5, a touch screen 4, and control switches. The control cabinet 5 is connected to the electric cylinder 2, the inkjet printer 1, the touch screen 4, and the control switches. In this way, the inkjet printer 1 stores the inkjet printer parameters, and the control cabinet 5 can obtain the corresponding inkjet parameters. At the same time, it can adjust the movement parameters of the electric cylinder 2, including speed and displacement distance. These can be operated through the touch screen 4. The operation of the inkjet printing process is turned on or off by the control switches. In particular, the control switches include a foot switch 6, which can be turned on or off by stepping on the foot switch 6, reducing the operator's hand burden or reducing the number of operators, thus saving production costs.
[0051] The movement parameters of the electric cylinder 2 and the printing speed of the inkjet printer 11 can also be input using an external mouse and keyboard.
[0052] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the manual battery inkjet printing device further includes an operating platform, the electric cylinder 2 is mounted on the operating platform, and the battery fixture 3 is mounted on the operating platform.
[0053] This invention allows the electric cylinder 2 to be mounted on an operating platform, which can be a flat structure such as a workbench. A battery fixture 3 is placed between the nozzle 11 and the operating platform, allowing the operator to complete the coding of the battery while standing. Alternatively, the operating platform can be equipped with a moving mechanism, including rollers, with the electric cylinder 2 and battery fixture 3 mounted on the operating platform. This allows for easy movement to the vicinity of the battery stack to be coded, reducing the workload.
[0054] The operating platform may include a table, with the electric cylinder 2 mounted on the table and the battery fixture 3 placed on the table. The entire structure is simple and easy to move; or the operating platform may be set up as a fixed frame, which can be set up according to the usage requirements of the electric cylinder 2 and the battery fixture 3.
[0055] The specific operation process of this utility model is as follows:
[0056] When the foot pedal switch 6 is pressed, the printhead 11 starts working to print the battery on the battery fixture 3. At the same time, the printhead 11 moves under the action of the electric cylinder 2, and prints the battery while moving, completing the printing operation of one battery. Since the printing parameters are set in the inkjet printer 1, they can be uniformly controlled through the control cabinet 5. After printing, the printhead 11 returns to the starting position to reset and wait for the next battery to be printed.
[0057] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
