Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of battery technology, specifically relating to a two-in-one loading and unloading device. Background Technology

[0002] Battery production encompasses multiple processes, including material preparation, cell assembly, and packaging. Among these, the testing process, involving internal resistance testing, charge-discharge cycling, identification of visual defects, and electrolyte composition analysis, is crucial for ensuring battery safety and consistency. Currently, most battery manufacturers utilize automated equipment to replace manual labor, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0003] In the specific battery production and testing process, batteries are typically loaded into carriers and transported from the previous production line to the testing stage. When a battery is found to be substandard, a robotic arm removes it from the assembly line for further processing. However, due to the inherent errors in automated testing, manual verification is usually required. If a misjudgment is found during manual verification, the qualified product must be placed back into the carrier before being transported to the next stage. However, this manual repositioning requires workers to move back and forth between workstations, which can easily cause production line stagnation or extend the production cycle time. This problem is particularly pronounced in high-capacity production scenarios, becoming a bottleneck restricting production efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a device that effectively improves the production efficiency of the testing process is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by personnel in related technical fields. Summary of the Invention

[0023] Example 1: Please see Figures 1 to 6 This embodiment provides a two-in-one loading and unloading device, which is used in the battery testing process to unload NG batteries and load qualified batteries after verification, thereby effectively improving production efficiency.

[0024] Specifically, a two-in-one loading and unloading device includes a bidirectional conveyor belt mechanism 100, a loading and unloading tilting mechanism 200, and a loading and unloading handling mechanism 300. The bidirectional conveyor belt mechanism 100 includes a conveyor base 110, an NG unloading belt assembly 120, and an OK loading belt assembly 130. The NG unloading belt assembly 120 and the OK loading belt assembly 130 are located side-by-side on the conveyor base 110, and their conveying directions are parallel and opposite. The bidirectional conveyor belt mechanism 100 is generally provided with a verification end and a material end. The NG unloading belt assembly 120 conveys from the material end to the verification end, used to transfer NG products to the verification end for manual verification. The OK loading belt assembly 130 conveys from the verification end to the material end. If, at the verification end of the bidirectional conveyor belt mechanism 100, a manual check reveals that the machine has mistakenly identified a product as NG, the misidentified product can be promptly transferred from the NG unloading belt assembly 120 to the OK loading belt assembly 130, thus allowing the misidentified product to be reloaded. In this embodiment, the material end is the right end of the bidirectional conveyor belt mechanism 100, and the verification end is the left end of the bidirectional conveyor belt mechanism.

[0025] The loading and unloading handling mechanism 300 is located at the material end of the bidirectional conveyor belt mechanism 100, realizing the handling of products between the bidirectional conveyor belt mechanism 100 and the battery conveying mechanism 600. The battery conveying mechanism 600 is a conveying mechanism connecting the previous process and this inspection and verification process. The battery conveying mechanism 600 includes a battery transmission line and a carrier disposed on the battery transmission line.

[0026] The loading / unloading conveying mechanism 300 includes a motion module 310, an adsorption component 320, and a first gripper component 330 and a second gripper component 340 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the adsorption component 320. The drive end of the motion module 310 is connected to the adsorption component 320, the first gripper component 330, and the second gripper component 340. In this embodiment, the motion module 310 is the robotic arm of a 4-axis robot, used to drive the movement of the adsorption component 320, the first gripper component 330, and the second gripper component 340. In this embodiment, the loading / unloading conveying mechanism 300 also includes a connecting component 350. The upper end of the connecting component 350 is directly connected to the drive end of the motion module 310, and the first gripper component 330 and the second gripper component 340 are respectively connected to the left and right sides of the connecting component 350. The adsorption component 320 is connected below the connecting component 350.

[0027] The loading / unloading tilting mechanism 200 is located at the material end of the bidirectional conveyor belt mechanism 100. Batteries on the battery conveying mechanism 600 are typically placed vertically in the carrier. Therefore, to facilitate subsequent transport and reloading of NG products, the loading / unloading tilting mechanism 200 is used to change the battery's orientation from vertical to horizontal.

[0028] When the two-in-one loading and unloading equipment is in operation, the first gripping assembly 330 grips the vertically oriented NG (Not Found) product from the battery conveying mechanism 600 and transports it to the loading and unloading tilting mechanism 200, causing the NG product to flip from the vertical turntable to a horizontal position. Then, the adsorption assembly 320 adsorbs the horizontally placed NG product and moves it to the NG unloading belt assembly 120 for manual verification. If the verification confirms it is an NG product, manual unloading is performed. If the verification indicates the NG product is a misjudgment, the manual removal of the misjudged product is moved to the OK loading belt assembly 130. The adsorption assembly 320 adsorbs the product from the OK loading belt and transports it to the loading and unloading tilting mechanism 200, flipping the product from a horizontal position to a vertical position. The second gripping assembly 340 then grips the product and transports it back to the carrier, achieving reloading of the product. Both the first gripping assembly 330 and the second gripping assembly 340 include symmetrically arranged gripping blocks 301. In this process, the first gripping assembly 330 and the second gripping assembly 340 are used to grip batteries placed vertically. The adsorption assembly 320 may include a vacuum suction cup for adsorbing batteries placed horizontally.

[0029] Thus, the two-in-one loading and unloading equipment completes the automated unloading of NG products and the automated loading after verification, effectively improving the production efficiency of the inspection process. Among them, the bidirectional conveyor belt mechanism 100 integrates the NG unloading belt assembly 120 and the OK loading belt assembly 130 into one unit, reducing the volume occupied. This facilitates manual verification of NG products and timely reloading of misjudged products via the OK loading belt assembly 130, thereby controlling the production rhythm and improving production efficiency.

[0030] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the loading / unloading tilting mechanism 200 includes a loading tilting component 210 and a loading tilting component 220. The loading tilting component 210 is located at the material end of the NG loading conveyor belt, and the loading tilting component 220 is located at the material end of the OK loading conveyor belt. The loading tilting component 210 includes a first rotating module 211 and a first rotating platform 212 rotatably connected to the first rotating module 211; the loading tilting component 220 includes a second rotating module 221 and a second rotating platform 222 rotatably connected to the second rotating module 221. In this embodiment, the first rotating platform 212 is located above the NG loading conveyor belt assembly 120, facilitating the first gripping component 330 to quickly transport products between the first rotating platform 212 and the NG loading conveyor belt assembly 120.

[0031] Back Figure 2In this embodiment, the bidirectional conveyor belt mechanism 100 has a horizontally arranged connecting shaft 140 on both the verification end and the material end of the conveyor base 110. The OK feeding belt assembly 130 includes a first conveyor belt 131, and the NG unloading belt assembly 120 includes a second conveyor belt 121. One end of the first conveyor belt 131 and the second conveyor belt 121 are jointly sleeved on the connecting shaft 140 at the verification end, and the other end is jointly sleeved on the connecting shaft 140 at the material end. The NG unloading belt assembly 120 and the OK feeding belt assembly 130 are fixed to the conveyor base 110 through the connecting shaft 140. The NG unloading belt assembly 120 and the OK feeding belt assembly 130 are arranged side by side on the conveyor base 110, and the distance between them is as small as possible so that manual transfer of misjudged NG products can be achieved quickly.

[0032] The OK feeding belt assembly 130 also includes a positioning block 132, which is connected to the conveyor base 110 and located above the first conveyor belt 131. The positioning block 132 is used to limit and position the products transported on the first conveyor belt 131 so that the loading and unloading handling assembly can pick up the products.

[0033] Example 2: This embodiment makes further structural optimizations based on Embodiment 1. Please refer to Embodiment 1 for further details. Figure 7 The differences are explained below.

[0034] The two-in-one loading and unloading equipment provided in this embodiment also includes a barcode scanning vision component 500, which is adjacent to the loading and flipping component 220. When the product is flipped by the loading and flipping component 220, the barcode scanning vision component 500 can scan the corresponding product code on the product to facilitate subsequent traceability of the product's production process.

[0035] Example 3: This embodiment further optimizes the structure based on embodiment 2. Please refer to embodiment 1 for further details. Figure 8 The differences are explained below.

[0036] The two-in-one loading and unloading equipment also includes a vision positioning mechanism 400, which is located downstream of the loading and flipping assembly 220. After the product moves from the OK loading belt assembly 130 to the loading and flipping assembly 220 and is flipped, the loading and unloading conveying mechanism 300 picks up the product and moves it to the vision positioning mechanism 400, which scans the position of the product and obtains position and other information so that the product can be accurately placed into the battery carrier in the future.

[0037] 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.
