An adhesive applicator

Abstract

This utility model discloses an adhesive application mechanism, including a frame and an adhesive feeding assembly, an adhesive folding assembly, and an adhesive tray mounted on the frame. The adhesive tray is located on one side of the adhesive feeding assembly, which rolls the fiber tape on the tray onto the upper wall of the battery module. The adhesive folding assembly is located on the other side of the adhesive feeding assembly. The frame is also equipped with a first driving member, which drives the adhesive folding assembly to move along the side of the battery module to adhere the fiber tape to the side wall of the battery module. In summary, after the adhesive feeding assembly completes the planar adhesive application to the battery module, the first driving member drives the adhesive folding assembly to move the fiber tape towards the side adjacent to the upper wall, thereby adhering the fiber tape to the side wall of the battery module. Based on this, compared with planar adhesive application equipment, this device can automatically adhere the fiber tape to the side of the module while performing planar adhesive application, thereby reducing manual operation.

[0024] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-8 This utility model provides an embodiment of an adhesive applicator, comprising a frame 1 and an adhesive feeding assembly 3, an adhesive folding assembly 6, and an adhesive tray 2 mounted on the frame 1. The adhesive tray 2 is located on one side of the adhesive feeding assembly 3, and the adhesive feeding assembly 3 rolls the fiber strip on the adhesive tray 2 onto the upper wall of the battery module. The adhesive folding assembly 6 is located on the other side of the adhesive feeding assembly 3. The frame 1 is further provided with a first driving member 4, and the first driving member 4 causes the adhesive folding assembly 6 to move along the side of the battery module to adhere the fiber strip to the side wall of the battery module.

[0026] In summary, after the adhesive feeding assembly 3 completes the planar bonding of the battery module, the first driving component 4 causes the adhesive folding assembly 6 to push the fiber tape towards the side adjacent to the upper wall, thereby bonding the fiber tape to the side wall of the battery module. Therefore, compared to planar bonding equipment, this device can automatically bond the fiber tape to the side of the module while simultaneously achieving planar bonding, thus reducing manual operation.

[0027] The folding assembly 6 includes a mounting plate 60, on which a pivot pin 62 is mounted. A swing rod 63 is rotatably mounted on the pivot pin 62. A first pressure roller 64 is also provided at the lower end of the swing rod 63. By moving the mounting plate 60 on the frame 1, the first pressure roller 64 rolls the fiber strip onto the module. Therefore, when the first drive member 4 pushes the entire folding assembly 6 to move, the first pressure roller 64 on the swing rod 63 rolls the fiber strip onto the side of the module while moving towards the side of the battery module.

[0028] When the modules are of varying lengths, if some modules are longer and the swing rod 63 cannot swing, the first drive member 4 will be obstructed when pushing the swing rod 63, and the first pressure roller 64 will not be able to smoothly enter the side of the module. Similarly, if some modules are shorter and the swing rod 63 cannot automatically adapt, the first pressure roller 64 will be unable to adhere the fiber tape to the module or will have difficulty reliably adhering the fiber tape to the module. Therefore, springs 61 are provided on both sides of the upper end of the swing rod 63, with the other end of each spring abutting against the mounting plate 60. The springs 61 cause the first pressure roller 64 to swing, ensuring that the first pressure roller 64 keeps the fiber tape always adhered to the outer wall surface of the module.

[0029] Based on this, since the swing rod 63 can swing, and the spring 61 can compensate for the deviation between the first pressure roller 64 and the module, the first pressure roller 64 can reliably press the fiber belt onto the side of the module.

[0030] Furthermore, since the mounting plate 60 is connected to the guide rail on the frame 1 via the slider 65, the first pressure roller 64 is pushed by the first driving member 4 to completely adhere the cut fiber strip to the outside of the module. Therefore, the folding assembly 6 can move stably and reliably in a directional manner. By reducing the phenomenon of movement deviation of the folding assembly 6, it is ensured that the first pressure roller 64 can reliably press the fiber strip onto the side of the battery module.

[0031] Based on the above solution, the glue feeding assembly 3 includes a mounting frame 30 with one end rotating on the frame 1, and a second pressure roller 35 at the other end of the mounting frame 30. A second driving member 5 on the frame 1 causes the second pressure roller 35 to press the fiber tape onto the module. Therefore, when the robot moves the entire device, the second pressure roller 35 can also press the fiber tape onto the module. In particular, when the second driving member 5 extends, one end of the mounting frame 30 rotates on the frame 1, allowing the second pressure roller 35 to press the fiber tape onto the module. After the entire module's planar fiber tape is bonded, the second driving member 5 shortens, causing the second pressure roller 35 to separate from the module.

[0032] Furthermore, the second pressure roller 35 is connected to the mounting frame 30 via a bracket 36, and the side of the bracket 36 facing the fiber tape is also provided with a cutting head 37. A third driving member 38 causes the blade 39 on the cutting head 37 to cut the fiber tape. Therefore, after the planar fiber tape of the module is bonded, the blade 39 cuts the fiber tape, allowing the equipment to automatically cut the fiber tape and reduce manual intervention. This also provides reliable technical support for the folding assembly 6 to press the fiber tape tightly against the side of the module.

[0033] Preferably, the mounting bracket 30 is further provided with a first pushing member 31, and the first pushing member 31 is provided with a clamping plate 33. The first pushing member 31 causes the clamping plate 33 to clamp the fiber strip between the clamping plate 33 and the bracket 36. Therefore, when cutting the fiber strip, the first pushing member 31 causes the clamping plate 33 to clamp the fiber strip between the clamping plate 33 and the bracket 36, thereby ensuring that the blade 39 can smoothly cut the fiber strip.

[0034] Meanwhile, since the mounting frame 30 is also provided with a second pushing member 32, and the second pushing member 32 causes the clamping plate 33 to push the fiber belt to the second pressure roller 35, when the second pushing member 32 drives the clamping plate 33 to move to the end of the bracket 36 away from the second pressure roller 35, the first pushing member 31 drives the clamping plate 33 to clamp the fiber belt on the bracket 36; at this time, the second pushing member 32 is used to cause the clamping plate 33 to slide along the lower wall of the bracket 36 to push the fiber belt to the bottom of the second pressure roller 35 so that the second pressure roller 35 can smoothly press the fiber belt onto the module.

[0035] Furthermore, since the bracket 36 is also provided with a vacuum suction cup 34 on the side facing the fiber belt, and the clamping plate 33 presses the fiber belt tightly against the vacuum suction cup 34; wherein, the suction hole of the vacuum suction cup 34 is located at one end near the second pressure roller 35, when the fiber belt moves to the suction hole of the vacuum suction cup 34, the fiber belt can be initially fixed, avoiding the problem of the fiber belt falling prematurely before reaching the second pressure roller 35.

[0036] Initially, the clamping plate 33 is located at the end of the support 36 away from the second pressure roller 35, pressing the fiber belt onto the vacuum suction cup 34. When feeding is required, the second pusher 32 pushes the first pusher 31 and the clamping plate 33 to move synchronously toward the second pressure roller 35 until the fiber belt moves to the suction hole of the vacuum suction cup 34. The vacuum suction cup 34 then picks up the fiber belt. At this time, the first pusher 31 extends, causing the clamping plate 33 to separate from the fiber belt. Simultaneously, the second pusher 32 drives the first pusher 31 and the clamping plate 33 to reset synchronously, and after resetting, the clamping plate 33 presses the fiber belt onto the vacuum suction cup 34 again. Then, the second pusher 32 pushes the first pusher 31 and the clamping plate 33 to move synchronously toward the second pressure roller 35 again, so as to push the fiber belt located at the suction hole of the vacuum suction cup 34 to the bottom of the second pressure roller 35, thereby realizing automatic fiber belt feeding.

[0037] To facilitate the replacement of the blade 39, the blade head 37 is movably connected to the provided pressure plate 310, and the blade head 37 is connected to the pressure plate 310 to fix the blade 39 on the blade head 37; specifically, bolts are used to pass through the pressure plate 310 and connect to the blade head 37 to fix the blade 39 on the blade head 37, and conversely, the bolts are removed and the pressure plate 310 is loosened to facilitate the removal of the blade 39.

[0038] In addition, the frame 1 is connected to the robotic arm via a gun-changing disc 8. A detection frame 7 is also mounted on the frame 1, and detection equipment, such as a visual imaging detection mechanism, installed on the detection frame 7, monitors the adhesion of the fiber tape in real time. The first drive component 4, the second drive component 5, the first pusher 31, and the second pusher 32 are preferably cylinders.

[0039] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model, and these variations still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
