Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery packaging technology, and in particular to a battery cell adhesive identification device. Background Technology

[0002] In the multi-string assembly of steel-cased batteries, securing the cells to the support structure is a crucial step. To ensure a stable connection between the cells and the support structure, 3M adhesive is typically applied between them. However, in practice, the application of the 3M adhesive needs to be very precise to avoid covering the cell's internal identification code. This code is a vital identifier for tracing cell production information; if it is covered by 3M adhesive, the cell and support structure cannot be properly bonded, thus affecting subsequent traceability efforts.

[0003] Currently, traditional adhesive application methods rely primarily on manual operation, visually determining the placement of 3M adhesive. This method is not only inefficient but also prone to inaccurate placement due to human error, which can affect the bonding strength between the battery cell and the mounting bracket, as well as traceability. Furthermore, manual operation makes it difficult to guarantee the uniformity and stability of 3M adhesive placement, especially in large-scale production, where this instability can lead to fluctuations in product quality.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a battery cell adhesive identification device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0034] In the multi-string assembly of steel-cased batteries, securing the cells to the support structure is a crucial step. To ensure a stable connection between the cells and the support structure, 3M adhesive is typically applied between them. However, in practice, the application of the 3M adhesive needs to be very precise to avoid covering the cell's internal identification code. This code is a vital identifier for tracing cell production information; if it is covered by 3M adhesive, the cell and support structure cannot be properly bonded, thus affecting subsequent traceability efforts.

[0035] Currently, traditional adhesive application methods rely primarily on manual operation, visually determining the placement of 3M adhesive. This method is not only inefficient but also prone to inaccurate placement due to human error, which can affect the bonding strength between the battery cell and the mounting bracket, as well as traceability. Furthermore, manual operation makes it difficult to guarantee the uniformity and stability of 3M adhesive placement, especially in large-scale production, where this instability can lead to fluctuations in product quality.

[0036] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a battery cell adhesive identification device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0037] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a battery cell adhesive label identification device, which includes a base 1, a support mechanism 2, and a positioning identification mechanism 3. The support mechanism 2 includes a support plate 21 and a plurality of adjustment plates 22 stacked vertically. The adjustment plate 22 at the bottom is adjustablely connected to the base 1. The support plate 21 is disposed on the adjustment plate 22 at the top and has a receiving groove 211 for accommodating the battery cell 100. The support plate 21 has an identification hole 212. The receiving groove 211 is connected to the outside through the identification hole 212. The positioning identification mechanism 3 includes a positioning driver 31 and an identification component 32. The positioning driver 31 is disposed on the base 1 and can drive the identification component 32 to move toward the support plate 21. When the battery cell 100 is accommodated in the receiving groove 211, the identification component 32 can identify the adhesive label 101 on the battery cell 100 through the identification hole 212.

[0038] In this embodiment, the supporting mechanism 2 includes a supporting plate 21 and multiple adjusting plates 22 stacked vertically. The adjusting plate 22 at the bottom is tunably connected to the base 1. The supporting plate 21 is disposed on the adjusting plate 22 at the top and has a receiving groove 211 for accommodating the battery cell 100. This arrangement allows for flexible adjustment of the placement height and position of the battery cell 100, improving the applicability of the battery cell adhesive identification device. The supporting plate 21 has an identification hole 212, and the receiving groove 211 communicates with the outside through the identification hole 212. The positioning identification mechanism 3 includes a positioning driver 31 and an identification component 32. The positioning driver 31 is disposed on the base 1 and can drive the identification component 32 to move toward the supporting plate 21, so that the identification component 32 moves precisely to the optimal identification position. When the battery cell 100 is placed in the receiving slot 211, the identification component 32 can accurately identify the adhesive marking 101 on the battery cell 100 through the identification hole 212, thereby ensuring that the 3M adhesive can be accurately applied to the predetermined position and avoiding manual operation that covers the battery cell 100 body code. This setting not only improves the adhesive application efficiency, but also improves the uniformity and stability of the 3M adhesive application position, solving the problems of low efficiency, inaccurate adhesive application position, and product quality fluctuations in traditional manual adhesive application methods, thereby improving the automation level of the production process and the stability of product quality. Through the above settings, the battery cell adhesive application identification device of this embodiment can achieve accurate identification of the adhesive application position of the battery cell 100.

[0039] It should be noted that the positioning driver 31 in this embodiment can adopt a hydraulic cylinder, pneumatic cylinder or electric cylinder, etc. The identification component 32 is set at the output end of the positioning driver 31. The positioning driver 31 drives the identification component 32 to move in a straight line. The specific structure of the positioning driver 31 is not limited here, as long as it can achieve the above functions.

[0040] The specific structure of the battery cell adhesive identification device is described below:

[0041] Specifically, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the support plate 21 is provided with a first limiting member 213 and a second limiting member 214 spaced apart. A through identification path 215 is formed between the first limiting member 213 and the second limiting member 214. The identification hole 212 is connected to the identification path 215, thereby providing an identification path for the identification component 32 and ensuring the smooth progress of the identification process.

[0042] More specifically, in this embodiment, both the first limiting member 213 and the second limiting member 214 are limiting blocks, which have a simple structure and are easy to manufacture. The two limiting blocks are arranged facing each other and spaced apart on the support plate 21, forming an identification path 215 between the support plate 21 and the two limiting blocks. In other embodiments, both the first limiting member 213 and the second limiting member 214 are limiting plates. It is understood that the specific structure of the first limiting member 213 and the second limiting member 214 is not limited, as long as the above-mentioned functions can be achieved.

[0043] Specifically, the first limiting member 213 is provided with a first groove 2131, and the second limiting member 214 is provided with a second groove 2141. The opening ends of the first groove 2131 and the second groove 2141 are both set towards the identification passage 215. The first groove 2131 and the second groove 2141 surround to form an identification hole 212, which can assist the identification component 32 in focusing on identifying the adhesive mark 101, which is conducive to improving the accuracy and stability of identification and avoiding the influence of external interference factors on the identification process.

[0044] More specifically, the cross-sectional shape of the first groove 2131 and the second groove 2141 along their own extension direction is a semi-racetrack shape, so as to fit the shape of the adhesive mark 101, thereby improving the accuracy of recognition.

[0045] Specifically, the first limiting member 213 is provided with a third groove 2132 connected to the first groove 2131, and the second limiting member 214 is provided with a fourth groove 2142 that is through and connected to the second groove 2141. One end of the third groove 2132 is configured to abut against the battery cell 100, thereby limiting the battery cell 100 placed in the receiving groove 211. The other end of the third groove 2132 is connected to the fourth groove 2142. The third groove 2132 and the fourth groove 2142 surround to form the receiving groove 211, so that the battery cell 100 can be stably received in the receiving groove 211, avoiding displacement of the battery cell 100, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of the identification process.

[0046] Specifically, the cross-sectional shapes of the third groove 2132 and the fourth groove 2142 are conformally matched with the shape of the battery cell 100, which can better fit the surface of the battery cell 100 and ensure that the battery cell 100 is stably placed in the receiving groove 211.

[0047] More specifically, the battery cell 100 has a cylindrical structure, and the cross-sectional shape of the third groove 2132 and the fourth groove 2142 along their own extension direction is a semi-circular structure, which improves the stability of the battery cell 100 in the accommodating groove 211.

[0048] Specifically, the supporting mechanism 2 also includes a first connector. The base 1 has multiple spaced-apart first connection holes. The first connector passes through the adjustment plate 22 located at the bottom and connects to the first connection holes, thereby locking the adjustment plate 22 at the bottom onto the base 1, ensuring that the adjustment plate 22 is securely connected to the base 1. Furthermore, by connecting the first connector to different first connection holes, the operator can adjust the installation position of the adjustment plate 22 relative to the base 1, thus meeting the different adhesive application identification requirements of the battery cell 100.

[0049] Specifically, the support mechanism 2 also includes a second connector. The adjustment plate 22 at the top is provided with a plurality of spaced second connection holes. The second connector passes through the support plate 21 and is connected to the second connection holes, which can lock the support plate 21 onto the adjustment plate 22 at the top, so that the support plate 21 can be stably connected to the adjustment plate 22, and prevent the support plate 21 from loosening or shifting during use.

[0050] It should be noted that the first and second connecting parts in this embodiment can adopt structures such as screws and bolts, which have the advantages of simple structure, convenient installation and firm connection. The specific structure of the above-mentioned components will not be described in detail here.

[0051] Specifically, the positioning and identification mechanism 3 also includes a guide 33, which is disposed on the base 1 and sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the identification component 32, so that the identification component 32 can move accurately under the guidance of the guide 33, and avoid the identification component 32 from shifting or shaking during the movement.

[0052] More specifically, in this embodiment, the guide member 33 is a guide ring, which is fixedly connected to the base 1 and sleeved on the outside of the identification component 32. In other embodiments, the guide member 33 is a guide cylinder sleeved on the identification component 32, and the specific structure of the guide member 33 is not limited here.

[0053] Specifically, the battery cell adhesive identification device also includes a display. The output end of the identification component 32 is connected to the display, which is used to display the image identified by the identification component 32. This allows the operator to directly observe the identification result through the display and adjust the placement position of the battery cell 100 in the receiving slot 211 in a timely manner so as to identify the adhesive mark 101 and facilitate subsequent adhesive application operations.

[0054] More specifically, in this embodiment, the display is a liquid crystal display (LCD), which has a clear display effect and low power consumption, and can meet the identification requirements of the 100-cell adhesive application. In other embodiments, the display is an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display, which has higher contrast and faster response speed, and can further improve the display effect. It is understood that the specific structure of the display is not limited, as long as it can achieve the above-mentioned functions.

[0055] More specifically, in this embodiment, the identification component 32 is a vision camera, which can accurately identify the adhesive marking 101 on the battery cell 100 through optical imaging technology, providing accurate positioning information for subsequent adhesive application. In other embodiments, the identification component 32 is an optical sensor, which can identify the adhesive marking 101 on the battery cell 100 through optical detection technology, thus also meeting the identification requirements of the device. It is understood that the specific structure of the identification component 32 is not limited, as long as it can achieve the above-mentioned functions.

[0056] Specifically, the battery cell adhesive identification device also includes a protective cover 4, which is disposed on the base 1 and covers the identification component 32. The protective cover 4 can protect the identification component 32 from the influence of the external environment and extend its service life. Moreover, by setting the protective cover 4, the eyesight of the operator can be protected from the strong light of the identification component 32.

[0057] More specifically, the protective cover 4 has a rectangular parallelepiped structure. One end of the protective cover 4 facing the adjustment plate 22 has an opening connected to the identification passage 215, allowing the identification component 32 to identify the adhesive mark 101 on the battery cell 100 through the opening and identification hole 212. The protective cover 4 also has a mounting port that extends from the top of the protective cover 4 to the other end of the protective cover 4 away from the adjustment plate 22. Part of the identification component 32 is externally mounted through the mounting port to the base 1 without interfering with its movement, ensuring normal operation and facilitating future installation and maintenance.

[0058] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
