Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery manufacturing equipment technology, and more specifically, to a buffer device and battery manufacturing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the new energy industry, cylindrical battery cells, as core components of power batteries and energy storage systems, have placed strict requirements on quality control during their production process. In the production of battery cells, a buffer device is typically used to buffer defective cells. In traditional buffer devices, battery cells are usually picked up into a hopper by a mechanical gripper. However, once inside the hopper, the cells are often piled up randomly. Since the cell casings are mostly thin-walled metal structures, they are easily deformed or damaged by gravity due to mutual compression, increasing the risk of secondary damage to the cells. This can also make it difficult to distinguish between original defects and new damage incurred during the processing when tracing quality later. Utility Model Content

[0009] Secondly, this application provides a battery manufacturing apparatus having a length direction, a width direction, and a height direction, wherein the length direction, the width direction, and the height direction are mutually perpendicular. The battery manufacturing apparatus includes: a cell conveying device, including a conveying member, the conveying member extending along the length direction and being driven along the length direction; and a buffer device, including a gripping assembly and a material box, the material box being disposed on one side of the conveying member along the width direction, the gripping assembly including a gripping member, the gripping member being spaced apart from the conveying member along the height direction, and the gripping member being movable relative to the conveying member along the width direction and the height direction.

This allows multiple battery cells entering the material box to be arranged sequentially along their length under the influence of gravity, achieving an orderly arrangement of the battery cells within the material box.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown, the buffer device 10 involved in the embodiments of this application is applied to a battery manufacturing equipment. The battery manufacturing equipment has a length direction x and a height direction z, and the length direction x and the height direction z are perpendicular to each other. The buffer device 10 includes: a gripping component 100 and a material box 200.

[0036] Specifically, the gripping assembly 100 includes a gripping member 110; the material box 200 is provided with an inlet 210, which is located at one end of the material box 200 along the height direction z. The gripping member 110 is spaced apart from the material box 200 along the height direction z, and the gripping member 110 is positioned facing the inlet 210 and is located at one end of the material box 200 along the length direction x. In the height direction z, the distance between the side wall of the material box 200 opposite to the inlet 210 and the inlet 210 gradually increases along the length direction x in the direction away from the gripping member 110.

[0037] It should be noted that the length direction x is Figure 1 The x-axis points in the direction of the height, and the z-axis is the height direction. Figure 1 The direction indicated by z in the middle.

[0038] The buffer device 10 of this application enables the gripper 110 to grip defective battery cells 30 and place them into the material box 200, thereby achieving buffering of defective battery cells 30. In this process, since the inlet 210 is located at one end of the material box 200 along the height direction z, and the gripper 110 is spaced apart from the material box 200 along the height direction z, and the gripper 110 is positioned facing the inlet 210, the gripper 110 can place the battery cell 30 into the material box 200 through the inlet 210. Furthermore, since the gripper 110 is located at one end of the material box 200 along the length direction x, and simultaneously, in the height direction z, the material box 200 and the inlet 210 are opposite each other... The distance between one side wall and the inlet 210 gradually increases along the length direction x towards the direction away from the gripper 110. Thus, when the battery cell 30 enters the material box 200 through the inlet 210, the battery cell 30 can move along the length direction x towards the direction away from the gripper 110 under the action of gravity. This allows multiple battery cells 30 entering the material box 200 to be arranged sequentially along the length direction x under the action of gravity, thereby achieving an orderly arrangement of the battery cells 30 in the material box 200.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the battery manufacturing equipment also has a width direction y, a length direction x, a width direction y, and a height direction z that are mutually perpendicular. The length direction x and the width direction y together define the horizontal direction. The material box 200 has a bottom wall 220, which is spaced apart from the inlet 210 along the height direction z. The bottom wall 220 is set at an angle to the horizontal direction. In the height direction z, the distance between the bottom wall 220 and the inlet 210 gradually increases along the length direction x in the direction away from the gripper 110.

[0040] It should be noted that the width direction y is Figure 1 The direction indicated by y in the middle.

[0041] In this embodiment, since the bottom wall 220 and the inlet 210 are spaced apart along the height direction z, when the battery cell 30 enters the material box 200 through the inlet 210, the battery cell 30 will fall onto the bottom wall 220. Since the bottom wall 220 is set at an angle to the horizontal direction, and the distance between the bottom wall 220 and the inlet 210 gradually increases along the length direction x towards the direction away from the gripper 110 in the height direction z, when the battery cell 30 falls onto the bottom wall 220, the battery cell 30 can move along the length direction x towards the direction away from the gripper 110 under the action of gravity. This allows multiple battery cells 30 entering the material box 200 to be arranged sequentially along the length direction x under the action of gravity, so as to achieve an orderly arrangement of the battery cells 30 in the material box 200.

[0042] Continue to refer to Figure 2As shown, the angle between the bottom wall 220 and the horizontal direction is α, which satisfies: 1°≤α≤30°.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, α can be 1°, 2°, 4°, 6°, 8°, 10°, 12°, 14°, 16°, 18°, 20°, 22°, 24°, 26°, 28°, 30°, etc.

[0044] In this embodiment, if α < 1°, the angle between the bottom wall 220 and the horizontal direction will be too small, that is, the tilt angle of the bottom wall 220 is insufficient. When the battery cell 30 falls onto the bottom wall 220, the battery cell 30 may not be able to move away from the gripper 110 along the length direction x under the action of gravity. If α > 30°, the angle between the bottom wall 220 and the horizontal direction will be too large, that is, the tilt angle of the bottom wall 220 is too large. In this case, the accommodating space of the material box 200 will be too small. When 1° ≤ α ≤ 30°, it can be ensured that the battery cell 30 moves away from the gripper 110 along the length direction x under the action of gravity, and the impact on the accommodating space of the material box 200 can be reduced.

[0045] Continue to refer to Figure 2 As shown, the buffer device 10 also includes a full material detection component 300, which is disposed at one end of the material box 200 along the height direction z near the gripper 110.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, the full material detection component 300 includes a full material detection element and a controller. Both the full material detection element and the gripper 110 are electrically connected to the controller. The full material detection element is used to detect the stacking height of the battery cells 30 in the material box 200. When the stacking height of the battery cells 30 in the material box 200 exceeds a preset height, the full material detection element sends a full material signal to the controller. Upon receiving the full material signal, the controller controls the gripper 110 to stop gripping, so as to prevent the battery cells 30 from continuing to fall into the already full material box 200.

[0047] In this embodiment, since the full material detection component 300 is located at one end of the material box 200 along the height direction z close to the gripper 110, the full material detection component 300 can detect the stacking height of the battery cell 30 in the material box 200 in real time. When the stacking height of the battery cell 30 in the material box 200 exceeds the preset height, the gripper 110 is controlled to stop gripping to prevent the battery cell 30 from continuing to fall into the already full material box 200.

[0048] Reference Figure 1 As shown, this application provides a battery manufacturing apparatus, which includes a cell conveying device 20 and a buffer device 10.

[0049] The cell conveying device 20 includes a conveying member 21, which extends along the length direction x and is driven along the length direction x; the buffer device 10 includes a gripping assembly 100 and a material box 200, which is disposed on one side of the conveying member 21 along the width direction y. The gripping assembly 100 includes a gripping member 110, which is spaced apart from the conveying member 21 along the height direction z. The gripping member 110 moves relative to the conveying member 21 along the width direction y and the height direction z.

[0050] In the battery manufacturing equipment of this application, the conveyor 21 is used to convey the defective battery cell 30 so that the battery cell 30 can be conveyed to the buffer device 10 along the length direction x. When the battery cell 30 is conveyed to the buffer device 10, the gripper 110 can approach the battery cell 30 along the height direction z and grip the battery cell 30. Then, the gripper 110 can move along the height direction z and the width direction y, thereby placing the battery cell 30 into the material box 200 provided on one side of the conveyor 21 along the width direction y. Since the buffer device 10 can arrange the battery cell 30 in an orderly manner in the material box 200, the risk of secondary damage to the battery cell 30 during the manufacturing process can be reduced, thereby improving the production quality of the battery manufacturing equipment.

[0051] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the gripping component 100 includes a first driving member 120, which is connected to the gripping member 110 and is used to drive the gripping member 110 to move along the width direction y.

[0052] In this embodiment, since the first driving member 120 is connected to the gripping member 110 and is used to drive the gripping member 110 to move along the width direction y, after the gripping member 110 grips the battery cell 30, it can be driven by the first driving member 120 to move along the width direction y, so that the battery cell 30 can be placed into the material box 200 provided on one side of the conveyor 21 along the width direction y, thereby realizing the buffering of unqualified battery cells 30.

[0053] Continue to refer to Figure 3 As shown, the gripping component 100 also includes a second driving member 130. The first driving member 120 is connected to the second driving member 130, and the second driving member 130 is connected to the gripping member 110. The first driving member 120 is used to drive the second driving member 130 to move along the width direction y, and the second driving member 130 is used to drive the gripping member 110 to move along the height direction z.

[0054] In this embodiment, since the first driving member 120 is used to drive the second driving member 130 to move along the width direction y, and the second driving member 130 is used to drive the gripping member 110 to move along the height direction z, when gripping the battery cell 30, the second driving member 130 can drive the gripping member 110 to approach the battery cell 30 along the height direction z and grip the battery cell 30. After the gripping member 110 grips the battery cell 30, the second driving member 130 can drive the gripping member 110 to move away from the conveyor 21 along the height direction z. Then, the first driving member 120 drives the second driving member 130 to move along the width direction y, so that the second driving member 130 can drive the gripping member 110 to move along the width direction y to the position of the material box 200, so that the battery cell 30 can be placed into the material box 200 located on one side of the conveyor 21 along the width direction y, thereby achieving the buffering of unqualified battery cells 30.

[0055] Continue to refer to Figure 3 As shown, there are two grippers 110. The gripping assembly 100 also includes a third drive 140. The second drive 130 is connected to the third drive 140. The third drive 140 is connected to the two grippers 110. The second drive 130 is used to drive the third drive 140 to move along the height direction z. The third drive 140 is used to drive the two grippers 110 to move closer to or further away from each other.

[0056] In this embodiment, since the third driving member 140 is used to move the two gripping members 110 closer or further apart, when gripping the battery cell 30, the third driving member 140 can drive the two gripping members 110 to move closer together to achieve gripping of the battery cell 30. Since the second driving member 130 is connected to the third driving member 140 and the third driving member 140 is connected to the two gripping members 110, the second driving member 130 is used to drive the third driving member 140 to move along the height direction z. Thus, the second driving member 130 can drive the third driving member 140 to move along the width direction y, so that the third driving member 140 can drive the two gripping members 110 to move along the width direction y to the position of the material box 200. When the two gripping members 110 reach the position of the material box 200, the third driving member 140 can drive the two gripping members 110 to move further apart, so that the battery cell 30 can fall into the material box 200, thereby achieving buffering of the battery cell 30.

[0057] Reference Figure 1As shown, the battery cell conveying device 20 also includes a plurality of battery cell fixing members 22. The plurality of battery cell fixing members 22 are arranged at intervals along the length direction x on the conveying member 21. Each battery cell fixing member 22 is used to place the battery cell 30. When the battery cell 30 is placed on the battery cell fixing member 22, the axial direction of the battery cell 30 extends along the width direction y. Two gripping members 110 are arranged at intervals along the length direction x. In this way, when the two gripping members 110 approach or move away from each other, the battery cell 30 can be gripped or released.

[0058] Continue to refer to Figure 1 As shown, the buffer device 10 also includes a support frame 400, which is connected to the conveyor 21, and the gripping component 100 is connected to the support frame 400.

[0059] In this embodiment, the gripping component 100 can be supported by a support member so that the gripping component 100 can grip and transport the battery cell 30.

[0060] Continue to refer to Figure 1 As shown, the support frame 400 includes a first support portion 410, a second support portion 420, and a third support portion 430. The first support portion 410 and the second support portion 420 are respectively connected to both sides of the conveyor 21 along the width direction y, and both extend along the height direction z. The two ends of the third support portion 430 are respectively connected to the ends of the first support portion 410 and the second support portion 420 away from the conveyor 21 along the height direction z. The first drive member 120 is connected to the third support portion 430. The gripping assembly 100 also includes a guide rail 150 and a guide member 160. The guide rail 150 is connected to the third support portion 430 and extends along the width direction y. The guide member 160 is connected to the output end of the first drive member 120 and the gripping member 110, and the guide member 160 is slidably connected to the guide rail 150.

[0061] In this embodiment, since the first support portion 410 and the second support portion 420 are respectively connected to both sides of the conveyor 21 along the width direction y and both extend along the height direction z, and the two ends of the third support portion 430 are respectively connected to the ends of the first support portion 410 and the second support portion 420 away from the conveyor 21 along the height direction z, the third support portion 430 can be supported by the first support portion 410 and the second support portion 420, so that the third support portion 430 can be spaced apart from the conveyor 21 along the height direction z. Since the first drive member 120 is connected to the third support portion 430, the gripping component 100 can be fixed by the third support portion 430. At the same time, a conveying space for the battery cell 30 and a moving space for the gripping component 100 can be reserved between the third support portion 430 and the conveyor 21, thereby realizing the gripping of the battery cell 30. Since the guide rail 150 is connected to the third support part 430 and extends along the width direction y, the guide member 160 is connected to the output end of the first drive member 120 and the gripper 110, and the guide member 160 is slidably connected to the guide rail 150, when the first drive member 120 drives the gripper 110 to move along the width direction y, the positional accuracy of the gripper 110 moving along the width direction y can be ensured by the cooperation of the guide member 160 and the guide rail 150. By improving the smoothness of the gripper 110 moving along the width direction y, the buffering efficiency can be improved.
