Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of battery technology, specifically relating to a label-flipping unit and label-applying equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the battery manufacturing process, the adhesive tape application process is a key step in ensuring the structural stability, insulation safety, and sealing reliability of the battery. It involves applying insulating, heat-resistant, and sealing tapes to specific parts such as the tabs, casing, and electrode assembly to prevent short circuits, fix components, and prevent electrolyte leakage.

[0003] Adhesive tape is typically attached to the battery head, but the surface near the battery head often contains critical areas that affect battery performance. Therefore, it's necessary to avoid certain parts of the battery surface when applying the tape. However, with the shrinking size of current batteries, the space available for adhesive application on the battery surface has significantly decreased, further increasing the requirements for the precision of tape application on the battery surface.

[0004] Therefore, how to develop a labeling device that can avoid the adjacent areas of the battery head is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by researchers in the field. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of the prior art, this invention provides a label-flipping unit. Through the cooperation of a first adhesive-grabbing block, a second adhesive-grabbing block, and a rotary drive assembly, the adhesive tape is flipped while being applied, thus avoiding contact with a portion of the battery surface. In addition, this invention also provides a labeling device.

[0006] The technical effects to be achieved by this utility model are realized through the following technical aspects: This utility model provides a label flipping labeling unit, including a fixing plate, a rotary drive assembly and a first adhesive block and a second adhesive block for adsorbing the same adhesive paper connected to the fixing plate, and a rotary sliding groove is provided on the fixing plate. The rotating chute is movably connected to a rotating wheel assembly, and the rotating drive assembly is connected to the second adhesive-taking block through the rotating wheel assembly, thereby driving the second adhesive-taking block to flip along the rotating chute.

[0007] In some embodiments, the rotary drive assembly includes a drive cylinder and a guide plate (the drive end of the drive cylinder moves along the extension direction of the rotary slide). The guide plate is vertically arranged, with one end connected to the drive cylinder and the other end connected to a slider. The slider is movably connected to the guide plate in the vertical direction, and the rotating wheel assembly is movably connected to the guide plate through the slider.

[0008] In some embodiments, a guide rail is further provided along the extending direction of the rotary groove, the guide rail is fixed to the fixed plate, and the guide plate is slidably connected to the guide rail.

[0009] In some embodiments, the first adhesive dispensing block has a first adhesive dispensing surface, and the second adhesive dispensing block has a second adhesive dispensing surface; in the initial state, the first adhesive dispensing surface and the second adhesive dispensing surface are located on the same horizontal plane, and the first adhesive dispensing surface and the second adhesive dispensing surface are arranged side by side.

[0010] In some embodiments, the guide plate has a vertically extending slide rail on the side near the fixed plate, and the slider is movably connected to the slide rail.

[0011] In some embodiments, the rotating wheel assembly includes a flipping member and a rotating wheel slidably connected to the rotating groove. One end of the flipping member is rotatably connected to the slider, and the flipping member is movably connected to the rotating groove via the rotating wheel. The other end of the flipping member is connected to the second adhesive-taking block to drive the second adhesive-taking block to flip.

[0012] In some embodiments, the rotating chute is an arc-shaped groove with an arc-shaped opening facing downwards, and along the rotating chute, the rotating drive assembly drives the second adhesive-taking block to flip toward the first adhesive-taking block.

[0013] In some embodiments, a motion module is also included, which is connected to the fixed plate.

[0014] In some embodiments, the label flipping labeling unit includes a connecting component connected to the motion module, and the connecting component is symmetrically provided with two sets of fixing plates, the first adhesive dispensing block, the second adhesive dispensing block and the rotation drive component.

[0015] This utility model also provides a label flipping labeling device, including any of the label flipping labeling units described above.

[0016] In summary, this utility model has at least the following advantages: This utility model provides a label-flipping unit that, through the cooperation of a first adhesive dispensing block, a second adhesive dispensing block, and a rotary drive assembly, flips the adhesive paper while it is being applied, thus avoiding interference with a portion of the battery surface. Specifically, the first and second adhesive dispensing blocks jointly absorb the adhesive paper, and the rotary drive assembly drives the second adhesive dispensing block to flip, causing a partial bend in the adhesive paper. When the first adhesive dispensing block applies the adhesive paper to the battery, the second adhesive dispensing block ensures that the bent portion of the adhesive paper does not interfere with critical areas of the battery, thereby achieving a good labeling effect. Furthermore, this utility model also provides a labeling device including the labeling unit. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment provides a label flipping labeling unit that can flip the adhesive tape while applying it, thereby avoiding the adhesive tape from partially covering the battery surface.

[0025] Specifically, Figure 2 A structural schematic diagram of the first adhesive-removing block 300 and the second adhesive-removing block 400 on the inner side of the fixing plate 100 is given. Figure 2 As shown, the label flipping labeling unit includes a fixing plate 100. A first adhesive dispensing block 300 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing plate 100, and a second adhesive dispensing block 400 is movably connected to the fixing plate 100 on the same side. Figure 1 A structural schematic diagram of the labeling unit from the outer view of the fixed plate 100 is given, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, a rotary drive assembly 200 is connected to the other side of the fixed plate 100. A rotary slide groove 110 is provided on the fixed plate 100. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure between the rotating wheel assembly 500 and the rotating slide 110 is provided from a side view of the fixed plate 100. (See diagram below.) Figure 3 As shown, a rotating wheel assembly 500 is movably connected to the rotating slide 110. The second adhesive-taking block 400 is connected to the rotating drive assembly 200 on the other side through the rotating wheel assembly 500. Under the action of the rotating drive assembly 200, the rotating wheel assembly 500 moves along the rotating slide 110 and drives the second adhesive-taking block 400 to flip along the rotating slide 110.

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, a first adhesive dispensing surface 301 is provided below the first adhesive dispensing block 300, and a second adhesive dispensing surface 401 is provided below the second adhesive dispensing block 400. Initially, the first adhesive dispensing surface 301 and the second adhesive dispensing surface 401 are located on the same horizontal plane and are arranged side-by-side. Vacuum adsorption holes are provided at the locations of the first adhesive dispensing surface 301 and the second adhesive dispensing surface 401. The first adhesive dispensing block 300 and the second adhesive dispensing block 400 are used to adsorb the same adhesive paper and act on different parts of the adhesive paper. In the normal state, the adhesive paper is a horizontally placed planar structure. When the rotation drive assembly 200 operates, it drives the rotating wheel assembly 500 to move along the rotating slide 110, thereby causing the second adhesive dispensing block 400 to flip, causing the portion of the adhesive paper adsorbed by the second adhesive dispensing block 400 to bend relative to the portion of the first adhesive dispensing block 300, which helps to prevent the adhesive paper from reaching the critical surfaces of the battery. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first adhesive dispensing block 300 presses part of the adhesive paper onto the top surface where the battery head is located, and the second adhesive dispensing block 400 flips and bends the adhesive paper to move it away from the adjacent surface of the top surface of the battery, so as to avoid the adhesive paper interfering with the battery surface unrelated to the adhesive surface, thereby ensuring the quality of the labeling.

[0027] Preferably, the rotary drive assembly 200 includes a drive cylinder 210, the drive end of which moves along the extending direction of the rotary slide 110. In this embodiment, the rotary slide 110 is a hollow groove extending from the first adhesive-taking block 300 to the second adhesive-taking block 400, that is, the rotary slide 110 extends horizontally as a whole. The drive cylinder 210 drives the second adhesive-taking block 400 to move in the horizontal direction, and the rotation of the second adhesive-taking block 400 is realized by the rotary wheel assembly 500.

[0028] Figure 2 The diagram provided shows the structures of the first and second glue-removing blocks. (Reference) Figure 2 The rotating chute 110 is preferably an arc-shaped groove, which helps to make the flipping of the second adhesive dispensing block 400 smoother. In this embodiment, the arc-shaped groove is an arc-shaped groove with its opening facing downward and extending in the horizontal direction. When it is necessary to change from the initial state to the flipped state, the driving end of the driving cylinder 210 moves from the end where the second adhesive dispensing block 400 is located to the end where the first adhesive dispensing block 300 is located. That is, when changing from the initial state to the flipped state, the second adhesive dispensing block 400 moves and rotates clockwise. As the second adhesive dispensing block moves and rotates, the second adhesive dispensing surface 401 flips in a direction away from the bottom and closer to the first adhesive dispensing block 300. The adhesive paper portion absorbed by the second adhesive dispensing surface 401 is folded relative to the adhesive paper portion absorbed by the first adhesive dispensing surface 301, so that the folded adhesive paper is away from the battery, so as to avoid some adhesive paper affecting the surface unrelated to the battery's bonding surface.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the rotary drive assembly 200 further includes a guide plate 220, which is disposed between the drive cylinder 210 and the second adhesive-taking block 400. The guide plate 220 is vertically oriented. One end of the guide plate 220 is connected to the drive end of the drive cylinder 210, and the other end is connected to a slider 230. The slider 230 is movably connected to the inner side of the guide plate 220 in the vertical direction, and the rotary wheel assembly 500 is movably connected to the guide plate 220 through the slider 230.

[0030] In this embodiment, the driving end of the driving cylinder 210 moves horizontally, thereby driving the rotating wheel assembly 500 and the second adhesive-taking block 400 to move horizontally via the guide plate 220. Since the rotating slide 110 is an arc-shaped groove, the rotating wheel assembly 500 tends to move vertically during horizontal movement. At this time, the rotating wheel assembly 500 will move vertically along the guide plate 220 with the slider 230, realizing adaptive height adjustment to ensure that the second adhesive-taking block 400 can move and flip smoothly along the rotating slide 110.

[0031] Correspondingly, the guide plate 220 is provided with a vertically extending slide rail 240 on the side near the fixed plate 100, and the slider 230 is movably connected to the slide rail 240 to realize the sliding connection between the slider 230 and the guide plate 220.

[0032] It should be noted that a guide rail 600 is also provided on the fixed plate 100. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 1 The guide rail 600 is arranged along the extension direction of the rotary slide 110, and the guide plate 220 is slidably connected to the guide rail 600. In this embodiment, the guide rail 600 is horizontally arranged on the fixed plate 100. The driving end of the drive cylinder 210 is connected to the guide plate 220, driving the guide plate 220 to move in the horizontal direction. During this process, the guide plate 220 is slidably connected to the guide rail 600 to improve the stability of the equipment.

[0033] In addition, a connecting plate is provided between the driving end of the drive cylinder 210 and the guide plate 220. The drive cylinder 210 is provided with a horizontally arranged telescopic shaft. The driving end of the telescopic shaft is connected to the guide plate 220 through the connecting plate to drive the guide plate 220 to move in the horizontal direction.

[0034] Back Figure 3 The rotating wheel assembly 500 includes a flipper 510 and a rotating wheel 520 slidably connected to a rotating groove 110. A slider 230 is connected to one side of the flipper 510. The other side of the flipper 510 is connected to the rotating wheel 520 and a second adhesive-gathering block 400. The rotating wheel 520 can roll within the rotating groove 110.

[0035] Specifically, in this embodiment, the rotating chute 110 is provided with two rotating wheels 520, and the flipping member 510 is connected between the two rotating wheels 520. Under the combined driving action of the drive cylinder 210, guide plate 220, and slider 230, the flipping member 510 moves smoothly along the rotating chute 110 with the help of the rotating wheels 520. During the movement, the flipping member 510 rotates relative to the slider 230, thereby causing the second adhesive-taking block 400 to flip. Among them, the rotating wheels 520 make the movement of the flipping member 510 smoother.

[0036] Example 2: This embodiment makes further structural optimizations based on Embodiment 1. Please refer to Embodiment 1 for details. Figure 4 and Figure 5 .

[0037] Similar to Embodiment 1, the label flipping labeling unit in this embodiment includes a fixing plate 100 with a rotating groove 110. A rotating drive assembly 200 is connected to one side of the fixing plate 100, and a rotating wheel assembly 500 is connected to the drive end of the rotating drive assembly 200. The rotating wheel assembly 500 is slidably connected to the rotating groove 110 and connected to a second adhesive dispensing block 400 on the other side of the fixing plate 100. Driven by the rotating drive assembly 200 and the rotating wheel assembly 500, the second adhesive dispensing block 400 moves and flips along the rotating groove 110 to fold the absorbed adhesive paper, avoiding the battery surface. On the same side of the second adhesive dispensing block 400, a first adhesive dispensing block 300 is also fixedly connected to the fixing plate 100. The first adhesive dispensing block 300 adsorbs a portion of the adhesive paper and presses it onto the battery surface.

[0038] In this embodiment, the labeling unit may further include a motion module 700, which is connected to the fixed plate 100 and is used to drive the fixed plate 100 to move vertically, thereby allowing the first adhesive-taking block 300 to move downwards to press the adsorbed adhesive paper onto the top surface of the battery. In this embodiment, the motion module 700 is the robotic arm body of the robot.

[0039] Furthermore, the motion module 700 is also provided with a connecting component 800, which is used for connecting the motion module 700 and the fixed plate 100. In particular, in this embodiment, the connecting component 800 is symmetrically provided with two sets of fixed plates 100, a first adhesive-grabbing block 300, a second adhesive-grabbing block 400 and a rotary drive component 200, which is beneficial for realizing multi-station operation.

[0041] The above description is merely an example and illustration of the structure of this invention, and while the description is specific and detailed, it should not be construed as limiting the scope of this invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this invention, and these obvious substitutions all fall within the protection scope of this invention.
