Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of battery manufacturing technology, and in particular to a battery production equipment. Background Technology
[0002] After the positive electrode, separator, and negative electrode are stacked, they form a stacked battery cell. However, during the stacking process, dust and other particles on the electrode can easily fall onto the operating platform, causing cross-contamination between the electrode cells and resulting in a short circuit.
[0003] Therefore, in the current manufacturing process of stacked battery cells, it is necessary to remove dust and other particles. However, the current dust removal process is inefficient, affecting the overall production efficiency of battery cells. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a battery production equipment to address the problem that the dust removal process is inefficient in the current manufacturing process of stacked battery cells, which affects the overall production efficiency of battery cells.
[0005] This application provides a battery production equipment, including a first feeding mechanism and a dust removal mechanism. The first feeding mechanism includes a first robotic arm and a first picking component disposed at the end of the first robotic arm. The first picking component is used to pick up an electrode sheet from a first bearing surface and transfer the electrode sheet to a second bearing surface. The dust removal mechanism is used to remove dust from the second bearing surface. The dust removal mechanism includes a positive pressure component and a negative pressure component. The positive pressure component is disposed on the first picking component and is used to blow gas onto the second bearing surface during the transfer of the electrode sheet by the first picking component. The negative pressure component is disposed on at least a portion of the periphery of the second bearing surface and is used to collect dust.
[0006] Thus, through the above structure, on the one hand, the positive pressure component removes dust from the second bearing surface during the movement of the electrode, without requiring machine shutdown and improving production cycle time; on the other hand, the positive pressure component moves with the first pickup component and blows gas onto the second bearing surface, and the blown airflow can form a lateral shear force on the second bearing surface, resulting in better dust removal. Furthermore, the negative pressure component can promptly collect dust and other particles blown from the second bearing surface, improving dust collection efficiency.
[0007] In some embodiments, in the direction from the first bearing surface to the second bearing surface, the positive pressure component is connected to the front end of the movement path of the first pickup component.
[0008] Thus, the above structure can maximize the blowing area of the gas blown out by the positive pressure component on the second bearing surface, thereby improving the dust removal effect.
[0009] In some embodiments, the negative pressure component is disposed on the side of the second bearing surface away from the first bearing surface. Therefore, the dust collection efficiency of the negative pressure component can be further improved through the above structure.
[0010] In some embodiments, the battery production equipment further includes a conveying mechanism for carrying and conveying electrode sheets, the conveying mechanism having the first carrying surface.
[0011] Therefore, by setting up a conveying mechanism, electrode sheets can be continuously supplied to the first picking component, thereby realizing continuous transfer and stacking of electrode sheets.
[0012] In some embodiments, the battery production equipment further includes a first support platform having a second support surface, and a negative pressure component is fixed to the first support platform.
[0013] In some embodiments, a negative pressure chamber is formed inside the negative pressure component, and multiple suction holes communicating with the negative pressure chamber are formed on the surface of the negative pressure component. In this way, particles such as dust on the first support platform can be collected more effectively through the suction holes.
[0014] In some embodiments, the dust removal mechanism further includes an electrostatic eliminator disposed on the positive pressure assembly for providing ionizing air to the positive pressure assembly.
[0015] This can further reduce the electrostatic adhesion between dust particles and the second bearing surface, thereby increasing the probability of dust particles peeling off from the second bearing surface.
[0016] In some embodiments, the dust removal mechanism further includes a detection element that is communicatively connected to the first pickup component. The detection element is disposed above the second bearing surface along the direction of gravity and is used to detect the position of the electrode on the second bearing surface and cooperate with the first pickup component to position the electrode.
[0017] Therefore, by setting up a detection component, the position of the electrode on the second bearing surface can be accurately positioned, so as to facilitate better stacking of the electrode.
[0018] In some embodiments, the battery production equipment further includes a third support platform and a second feeding mechanism. The third support platform has a third support surface for supporting stacked electrode sheets and separators. The second feeding mechanism includes a second robotic arm and a second picking component disposed at the end of the second robotic arm. The second picking component is used to pick up the electrode sheet from the second support surface and transfer the electrode sheet to the third support surface.
[0019] Therefore, through the above structure, the electrode can be continuously transferred between the second bearing surface and the third bearing surface, thereby realizing the stacking assembly of the electrode on the third bearing surface.
[0020] In some embodiments, the first pickup component and / or the second pickup component includes a suction cup. Thus, the suction cup's adsorption of the electrode sheet enables smooth transfer of the electrode sheet between the conveying mechanism, the first support platform, and the third support platform.
[0021] In the aforementioned battery production equipment, the first picking component can pick up the electrode sheets one by one and place them sequentially on the second bearing surface for positioning, facilitating subsequent stacking operations. Simultaneously, because the first picking component is equipped with a positive pressure component, it can remove dust and other particles from the second bearing surface during the electrode sheet transfer process. On one hand, the positive pressure component removes dust from the second bearing surface during electrode sheet movement without requiring machine downtime, thus improving production cycle time. On the other hand, the positive pressure component moves with the first picking component and blows gas; the airflow creates lateral shear force on the second bearing surface, resulting in better dust removal. Furthermore, the negative pressure component can promptly collect dust and other particles blown from the second bearing surface, improving dust collection efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0026] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, 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, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
[0027] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0028] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited.

[0029] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. Similarly, "below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0030] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.
[0031] Currently, judging from market trends, the application of battery devices is becoming increasingly widespread. Battery devices are not only used in energy storage power systems such as hydropower, thermal power, wind power, and solar power plants, but also widely used in electric vehicles such as electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, and electric cars, as well as other fields. With the continuous expansion of the application areas of battery devices, the market demand is also constantly increasing.
[0032] A battery cell is the smallest unit that makes up a battery device. Depending on their manufacturing process, battery cells can be divided into stacked battery cells and wound battery cells. Stacked battery cells refer to battery cells that are formed by cutting the positive electrode, separator, and negative electrode into specific sizes, stacking them in sequence to form an electrode assembly, and then placing the stacked electrode assembly in a housing to assemble the battery cell structure.
[0033] Currently, specific equipment is typically used to stack and assemble the positive electrode, separator, and negative electrode sequentially on an operating platform. However, during the production process, the electrodes (including the positive and negative electrodes) may contain dust and other particles. When different electrodes are placed sequentially on the operating platform, cross-contamination between the electrodes can easily occur, leading to short circuits in the battery cells.
[0034] This necessitates the removal of dust and other particles from the operating platform during the stacking process. However, the current dust removal process is inefficient, impacting the overall production efficiency of individual battery cells.
[0035] Based on the above considerations, to address the problem of low efficiency in dust removal during the current manufacturing process of stacked battery cells, which affects the overall production efficiency of battery cells, one or more embodiments of this application provide a battery production equipment. A first picking component can pick up electrode sheets one by one and place them sequentially on a second supporting surface for positioning, facilitating subsequent stacking operations. Simultaneously, since a positive pressure component is provided on the first picking component, it can remove dust and other particles from the second supporting surface during the electrode transfer process. On one hand, the positive pressure component removes dust from the second supporting surface during electrode movement without requiring machine downtime, thus improving production cycle time. On the other hand, the positive pressure component moves with the first picking component and blows gas; the blown airflow creates lateral shear force on the second supporting surface, resulting in better dust removal. Furthermore, a negative pressure component can promptly collect dust and other particles blown from the second supporting surface, improving dust collection efficiency.
[0036] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 One embodiment of this application provides a battery production equipment 100, including a first feeding mechanism 10 and a dust removal mechanism 20. The first feeding mechanism 10 includes a first robotic arm 11 and a first picking component 12 disposed at the end of the first robotic arm 11. The first picking component 12 is used to pick up an electrode sheet 200 from a first bearing surface 31 and transfer the electrode sheet 200 to a second bearing surface 41. The dust removal mechanism 20 is used to remove dust from the second bearing surface 41. The dust removal mechanism 20 includes a positive pressure component 21 and a negative pressure component 22. The positive pressure component 21 is disposed on the first picking component 12 and is used to blow gas onto the second bearing surface 41 during the transfer of the electrode sheet 200 by the first picking component 12. The negative pressure component 22 is disposed on at least a portion of the periphery of the second bearing surface 41 and is used to collect dust.
[0037] It should be noted that both the first bearing surface 31 and the second bearing surface 41 can be used to place the electrode 200, and the second bearing surface 41 also corrects and positions the electrode 200. During the stacking process, the electrode 200 is placed sequentially on the first bearing surface 31, and then the electrode 200 is aligned to facilitate the stacking and assembly of the electrode 200.
[0038] The first pickup component 12 can pick up the electrode 200, causing the electrode 200 to move synchronously with it. In this way, the first pickup component 12 can pick up the electrode 200 from the first bearing surface 31 and then move the electrode 200 to the second bearing surface 41, thus transferring the electrode 200 from the first bearing surface 31 to the second bearing surface 41.
[0039] The positive pressure component 21 refers to a structure capable of blowing air outwards. The positive pressure component 21 is mounted on the first pickup component 12, allowing it to move synchronously with the first pickup component 12. When the first pickup component 12 picks up an electrode 200 and moves it from the first bearing surface 31 to the second bearing surface 41, and there is currently no electrode 200 on the second bearing surface 41, the positive pressure component 21 can be activated to blow gas onto the second bearing surface 41, removing dust and other particles from it.
[0040] After the first pickup component 12 moves the electrode 200 thereon to the second bearing surface 41, the positive pressure component 21 can be turned off, and then the electrode 200 can be placed on the second bearing surface 41. In this way, before each time the first pickup component 12 places the electrode 200 on the second bearing surface 41, the positive pressure component 21 can remove dust from the second bearing surface 41, ensuring the cleanliness of the second bearing surface 41 and effectively reducing cross-contamination between the electrodes 200.
[0041] Furthermore, the negative pressure component 22 refers to a structure capable of collecting dust and other particles through negative pressure. When the positive pressure component 21 removes dust from the second bearing surface 41, the negative pressure component 22 can promptly collect the blown dust and other particles, thereby improving dust collection efficiency.
[0042] Thus, through the above structure, the first pickup component 12 can first pick up the electrode sheets 200 one by one and place them sequentially on the second bearing surface 41 for positioning, facilitating subsequent stacking operations. Simultaneously, since the first pickup component 12 is equipped with a positive pressure component 21, the positive pressure component 21 can remove dust and other particles from the second bearing surface 41 as the first pickup component 12 moves from the first bearing surface 31 to the second bearing surface 41. On one hand, the positive pressure component 21 removes dust from the second bearing surface 41 during the movement of the electrode sheets 200, eliminating the need for machine downtime and improving production cycle time; on the other hand, the positive pressure component 21 moves with the first pickup component 12 and blows gas, and the blown airflow can create a lateral shear force on the second bearing surface 41, resulting in better dust removal. Furthermore, the negative pressure component 22 can promptly collect the dust and other particles blown from the second bearing surface 41, improving dust collection efficiency.
[0043] In some embodiments, in the direction from the first bearing surface 31 to the second bearing surface 41, the positive pressure component 21 is connected to the front end of the movement path of the first pickup component 12.
[0044] Specifically, the positive pressure component 21 is connected to the front end of the moving path of the first pickup component 12 in the direction from the first bearing surface 31 to the second bearing surface 41. Thus, as the first pickup component 12 moves from the first bearing surface 31 to the second bearing surface 41, the positive pressure component 21 removes dust and other particles from the second bearing surface 41. After the first pickup component 12 reaches the second bearing surface 41, the gas blown by the positive pressure component 21 has swept over the entire area where the electrode 200 is placed, resulting in better dust removal.
[0045] Thus, through the above structure, the blowing area of the gas blown out by the positive pressure component 21 on the second bearing surface 41 can be expanded as much as possible, resulting in a better dust removal effect.
[0046] In one specific embodiment, the first pickup component 12 is movable along the gravity direction a and in a direction perpendicular to the gravity direction a. Specifically, at positions corresponding to the first bearing surface 31 and the second bearing surface 41, the first pickup component 12 is configured to be controllably movable along the gravity direction a.
[0047] Specifically, the first pickup component 12 is movably disposed in the horizontal direction, wherein the movement trajectory of the first pickup component 12 in the horizontal direction can be a straight line or an arc. In this way, the first pickup component 12 can switch between the first bearing surface 31 and the second bearing surface 41.
[0048] Furthermore, the first pickup component 12 can also move along the direction of gravity a, that is, the first pickup component 12 is height-adjustable. When the first pickup component 12 moves to correspond with the first bearing surface 31, the first pickup component 12 is lowered to pick up the electrode 200 on the first bearing surface 31. After the pickup is completed, the first pickup component 12 is controlled to rise, and the electrode 200 is moved above the second bearing surface 41 by the first pickup component 12. At this time, the first pickup component 12 is controlled to fall, and the electrode 200 is placed on the second bearing surface 41.
[0049] Thus, through the above structure, the first pickup component 12 can smoothly pick up the electrode 200 and place the electrode 200.
[0050] In some embodiments, the negative pressure component 22 is disposed on the side of the second bearing surface 41 away from the first bearing surface 31.
[0051] Specifically, the negative pressure component 22 is positioned on the side of the second bearing surface 41 away from the first bearing surface 31. When the first pickup component 12 moves from above the first bearing surface 31 to above the second bearing surface 41, the positive pressure component 21 can generate an airflow toward the negative pressure component 22, thereby better collecting dust and other particles on the second bearing surface 41 into the negative pressure component 22.
[0052] In addition, to further improve the collection efficiency of the negative pressure component 22, the negative pressure component 22 can be arranged around the outer periphery of the second bearing surface 41, so as to comprehensively collect dust and other particles from each edge of the second bearing surface 41.
[0053] Therefore, the dust collection efficiency of the negative pressure component 22 can be further improved through the above structure.
[0054] In some embodiments, the battery production equipment 100 further includes a conveying mechanism 30 for carrying and conveying the electrode sheet 200, the conveying mechanism 30 having a first bearing surface 31.
[0055] Specifically, the conveying mechanism 30 may include, but is not limited to, a conveyor belt, a belt, or a conveyor chain. Taking a belt as an example, the electrode plates 200 are placed sequentially on the belt, and the belt, through its own movement, can drive the electrode plates 200 on it to move at a uniform speed.
[0056] When the first pickup component 12 moves to correspond with the first bearing surface 31, the first pickup component 12 is located above the belt. The first pickup component 12 is controlled to descend and pick up the electrode 200 on the belt. Then the first pickup component 12 is controlled to rise and move above the second bearing surface 41, and then the first pickup component 12 is controlled to descend again to place the adsorbed electrode 200 on the second bearing surface 41.
[0057] Therefore, by setting up the conveying mechanism 30, the electrode 200 can be continuously supplied to the first picking component 12, thereby realizing the continuous transfer of the electrode 200 and the stacking process.
[0058] In some embodiments, the battery production equipment 100 further includes a first support platform 40 having a second support surface 41, and a negative pressure component 22 fixed to the first support platform 40.
[0059] Specifically, the first support platform 40 can be used to place the electrode 200, and the second support surface 41 is formed on the top surface of the first support platform 40. Further, the negative pressure component 22 is arranged around the outer periphery of the first support platform 40 to collect dust particles on the first support platform 40.
[0060] In some embodiments, a negative pressure chamber (not shown in the figure) is formed inside the negative pressure component 22, and a plurality of air intake holes 23 communicating with the negative pressure chamber are opened on the surface of the negative pressure component 22.
[0061] Specifically, when the negative pressure component 22 is installed on the first support platform 40, the upper surface of the negative pressure component 22 is set to be flush with the second support surface 41, and all the suction holes 23 are evenly arranged on the upper surface of the negative pressure component 22 to facilitate the collection of dust and other particles.
[0062] In this way, dust and other particles on the first support platform 40 can be collected better through the air intake 23.
[0063] In some embodiments, the dust removal mechanism 20 further includes an electrostatic eliminator (not shown in the figure), which is disposed on the positive pressure component 21 and is used to provide ionizing air to the positive pressure component 21.
[0064] Specifically, by installing the static eliminator on the positive pressure assembly 21, ionizing air can be provided to the positive pressure assembly 21, that is, the positive pressure assembly 21 blows ionizing air onto the first support platform 40.
[0065] In this way, the electrostatic adhesion between dust particles and the second bearing surface 41 can be further reduced, thereby increasing the probability that dust particles will peel off from the second bearing surface 41.
[0066] In some embodiments, the dust removal mechanism 20 further includes a detection element (not shown) that is communicatively connected to the first pickup component 12. The detection element is disposed above the second bearing surface 41 along the gravity direction a, and is used to detect the position of the electrode 200 on the second bearing surface 41 and cooperate with the first pickup component 12 to position the electrode 200.
[0067] Specifically, the detection component can be, but is not limited to, a CCD camera. The CCD camera can detect the position of the electrode 200 on the second bearing surface 41 and send a signal to the suction cup. Then, the suction cup can accurately place the electrode 200 at the designated position on the second bearing surface 41.
[0068] Therefore, by setting up a detection component, the position of the electrode 200 on the second bearing surface 41 can be accurately positioned, so as to better stack the electrode 200.
[0069] In some embodiments, the battery production equipment 100 further includes a third support platform 50 and a second feeding mechanism 60. The third support platform 50 has a third support surface 51 for supporting stacked electrode sheets and separators. The second feeding mechanism 60 includes a second robotic arm 61 and a second picking component 62 disposed at the end of the second robotic arm 61. The second picking component 62 is used to pick up the electrode sheet 200 from the second support surface 41 and transfer the electrode sheet 200 to the third support surface 51.
[0070] Specifically, the third support platform 50 refers to a structure capable of supporting the electrode 200 and providing a stacking platform for the positive electrode, separator, and negative electrode. In other words, the positive electrode, separator, and negative electrode are placed sequentially on the third support surface 51 of the third support platform 50 to achieve the stacking arrangement of the positive electrode, separator, and negative electrode.
[0071] The third support platform 50 can be set on any side of the first support platform 40 except for the conveying mechanism 30. For ease of understanding, the example is that the third support platform 50 and the conveying mechanism 30 are respectively set on opposite sides of the first support platform 40.
[0072] When the third support platform 50 and the conveying mechanism 30 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the first support platform 40, at least a portion of the negative pressure component 22 is connected to the side of the first support platform 40 near the third support platform 50.
[0073] The second feeding mechanism 60 is movably disposed between the first support platform 40 and the third support platform 50. After the first picking component 12 places the previous electrode 200 on the second support surface 41, the first picking component 12 moves towards the first support surface 31. At the same time, the second picking component 62 moves towards the second support surface 41, then picks up the electrode 200 from the second support surface 41, moves the electrode 200 to the third support surface 51, and places the electrode 200 on the third support surface 51.
[0074] Understandably, the first pickup component 12 and the second pickup component 62 can move synchronously to improve the efficiency of the stacking operation.
[0075] Thus, through the above structure, the electrode 200 can be continuously transferred between the second bearing surface 41 and the third bearing surface 51, thereby realizing the stacked assembly of the electrode 200 on the third bearing surface 51.
[0076] In one specific embodiment, the second pickup component 62 is movable along the gravity direction a and in a direction perpendicular to the gravity direction a. Specifically, above the second bearing surface 41 and above the third bearing surface 51, the second pickup component 62 is configured to be controllably movable along the gravity direction a.
[0077] Specifically, the second pickup component 62 is movably disposed in the horizontal direction, wherein the movement trajectory of the second pickup component 62 in the horizontal direction can be a straight line or an arc. In this way, the second pickup component 62 can switch between the second bearing surface 41 and the third bearing surface 51.
[0078] Furthermore, the second pickup component 62 can also move along the direction of gravity a, that is, the second pickup component 62 is vertically adjustable. When the second pickup component 62 moves above the second support surface 41, it is lowered to adsorb the electrode 200 on the second support surface 41. After adsorption is complete, the second pickup component 62 is raised, and the electrode 200 is moved above the third support surface 51 by the second pickup component 62. At this time, the second pickup component 62 is lowered, and the electrode 200 is placed on the third support surface 51 and stacked sequentially.
[0079] Thus, through the above structure, the second pickup component 62 can smoothly pick up the electrode 200 and place the electrode 200, thereby realizing the stacked assembly of the electrode 200.
[0080] Furthermore, the actions of the first pickup component 12 and the second pickup component 62 can be synchronized to improve the production cycle time. Specifically, after the first pickup component 12 picks up an electrode 200 from the conveying mechanism 30, the second pickup component 62 needs to promptly pick up the previous electrode 200 from the second bearing surface 41 and remove the previous electrode 200 from the second bearing surface 41.
[0081] In this way, when the first pickup component 12 moves the next electrode 200 it picks up from the first bearing surface 31 to the second bearing surface 41, it ensures that the second bearing surface 41 is unloaded, so that the positive pressure component 21 can remove dust from the second bearing surface 41.
[0082] Thus, through the above structure, as the first pickup component 12 picks up the electrode 200 on the first bearing surface 31 and moves toward the second bearing surface 41, the second pickup component 62 has already completed the pickup of the electrode 200 on the second bearing surface 41, keeping the second bearing surface 41 unloaded, so that the positive pressure component 21 can remove dust from the second bearing surface 41 as the first pickup component 12 moves toward the second bearing surface 41.
[0083] In some embodiments, the first pickup component 12 and / or the second pickup component 62 include a suction cup.
[0084] Specifically, the first pickup component 12 may include a suction cup mounted on a first robotic arm 11. The first robotic arm 11 moves the suction cup and raises and lowers it. Furthermore, the suction cup can pick up the electrode 200 by creating a vacuum and place it by breaking the vacuum.
[0085] The second pickup assembly 62 has the same structure as the first pickup assembly 12, and may also include a suction cup and a second robotic arm 61. The suction cup is mounted on the second robotic arm 61, which moves the suction cup and raises and lowers it. Furthermore, the suction cup can pick up the electrode 200 by creating a vacuum and place the electrode 200 by breaking the vacuum.
[0086] Thus, the electrode 200 is smoothly transferred between the conveying mechanism 30, the first support platform 40, and the third support platform 50 by adsorbing the electrode 200 with a suction cup.
[0087] According to one or more embodiments, when this application is used, the electrode 200 is first placed on the conveying mechanism 30 in sequence, and the electrode 200 is conveyed by the conveying mechanism 30.
[0088] The first pickup component 12 moves above the first bearing surface 31 and is controlled to descend so as to pick up the electrode 200 on the first bearing surface 31. After picking up the electrode 200, the first pickup component 12 is controlled to rise and move above the second bearing surface 41.
[0089] As the first pickup component 12 moves from above the first bearing surface 31 to above the second bearing surface 41, the positive pressure component 21 is activated to blow air onto the second bearing surface 41 to remove dust and other particles from the second bearing surface 41, and the dust and other particles are collected by the negative pressure component 22.
[0090] When the first pickup component 12 reaches above the second bearing surface 41, the position of the electrode 200 is detected and positioned by the detection element, and then the first pickup component 12 is controlled to descend and place the electrode 200 on the second bearing surface 41.
[0091] Furthermore, the second pickup assembly 62 moves above the second support surface 41 and picks up the electrode 200 from the second support surface 41. At the same time, the first pickup assembly 12 moves toward the first support surface 31 to synchronously pick up the next electrode 200.
[0092] After the second pickup component 62 picks up the electrode 200 from the second bearing surface 41, it moves to above the third bearing surface 51, and then controls the second pickup component 62 to descend and place the electrode 200 on the third bearing surface 51, thereby realizing the stacking assembly of the electrode 200.
[0093] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0094] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
