Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of position adjustment devices, and in particular to a position adjustment device for a battery cover. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process of lithium-ion batteries or other types of rechargeable batteries, terminals (including positive and negative terminals) are typically mounted on the battery cover to form the positive and negative leads of the battery. Currently, the positive and negative terminals commonly used in the industry are basically the same in shape, size, and structure, distinguished only by the terminal material or markings after assembly. However, this design has significant drawbacks in actual production.

[0003] Because the positive and negative terminals look very similar, production personnel often find it difficult to quickly and accurately distinguish between them during assembly, making it very easy for the terminals to be installed backwards. This assembly error not only leads to rework in subsequent processes, reducing production efficiency and increasing labor costs, but can also cause abnormal battery performance due to reverse polarity, even resulting in battery failure or safety hazards, seriously affecting product consistency and finished product yield. Furthermore, the problem of reversed terminals is often only discovered in later inspection stages, increasing the difficulty and cost of quality control. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the lifting device in this utility model can correct the placement position of the battery cover by flipping it over, thus preventing operators from installing the terminal posts that need to be installed on the assembly surface of the battery cover onto the mounting surface, thereby avoiding increased labor costs, improving the production efficiency of the battery cover, and increasing the yield of the battery cover and the finished product of the battery made from the battery cover.

[0005] This utility model provides a battery cover plate position adjustment device, which is applied to a battery cover plate manufacturing equipment. The battery cover plate manufacturing equipment is provided with an installation position, and the battery cover plate is disposed on the installation position. The battery cover plate has a surface to be assembled and an installation surface that are disposed opposite to each other. The position adjustment device includes: a detection device, at least one set of clamping devices, and at least one set of lifting devices that cooperate with the at least one set of clamping devices.

[0006] The clamping device includes a first clamping component and a second clamping component, which are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the mounting position. The first clamping component can abut against the first end of the battery cover, and the second clamping component can abut against the second end of the battery cover.

[0007] The detection device is positioned above the mounting position and is used to obtain the position information of the battery cover.

[0008] The lifting device can abut against the battery cover plate located at the mounting position. When the detection device obtains the position information of the mounting surface, the lifting device can drive the battery cover plate to move toward the clamping device. The first clamping component and the second clamping component can drive the battery cover plate to rotate until the position of the battery cover plate changes from the abutting surface of the battery to the abutting surface of the lifting device to the abutting surface of the mounting surface of the lifting device.

[0009] Furthermore, the first gripping component includes a first turntable and a first driving member;

[0010] The first turntable is connected to the first driving component, and the first driving component can drive the first turntable to rotate.

[0011] The second gripping assembly includes a second turntable and a mounting component;

[0012] The second turntable and the mounting component are rotatably connected, and the second turntable is capable of rotating relative to the mounting component along the axial direction of the second turntable.

[0013] Furthermore, the first turntable is provided with a first card slot;

[0014] The first slot can accommodate the first end of the battery cover, and the end face of the second turntable can abut against the second end of the battery cover.

[0015] Furthermore, the first turntable and the second turntable are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the battery cover, and the first snap-fit ​​groove is arranged along the diameter direction of the first turntable.

[0016] Furthermore, the first gripping component also includes a first sliding component, the first driving member is fixedly disposed on the first sliding component, and the first sliding component can drive the first driving member and the first turntable to move toward or away from the second gripping component;

[0017] The second gripping assembly further includes a second sliding assembly. The mounting member is fixedly disposed on the second sliding assembly. The second sliding assembly can drive the mounting member and the second turntable to move toward or away from the first gripping assembly.

[0018] Furthermore, the first sliding component and the second sliding component are located in the same horizontal plane;

[0019] The first sliding component and the second sliding component are disposed above the mounting position, and the plane on which the first sliding component and the second sliding component are located is spaced apart from the plane on which the mounting position is located.

[0020] Furthermore, the first sliding component can drive the first turntable to reciprocate along the first direction, and the second sliding component can drive the second turntable to reciprocate along the first direction; wherein, the first direction is consistent with the length direction of the battery cover.

[0021] Furthermore, the lifting device can move the battery cover between a first extreme position and a second extreme position;

[0022] When the battery cover is in the first extreme position, the first clamping assembly and the second clamping assembly can clamp the battery cover.

[0023] When the battery cover is in the second extreme position, the battery cover is positioned at the mounting location.

[0024] Furthermore, the lifting device includes a lifting assembly and a suction cup assembly capable of fixing the battery cover plate disposed at the mounting position;

[0025] The lifting component can drive the suction cup component and the battery cover to move together between the first extreme position and the second extreme position.

[0026] Furthermore, the lifting device also includes a third driving component, which is drivingly connected to the suction cup assembly;

[0027] The third driving component can drive the suction cup assembly to rotate around the axis of the suction cup assembly.

[0028] Implementing the embodiments of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0029] This invention, through the arrangement of a detection device, a clamping device, and a lifting device, allows the battery cover to be moved towards the clamping device when the detection device detects that the battery cover is in a position to be flipped. The first and second clamping components then rotate the battery cover until the position changes from the surface to be assembled abutting against the lifting device to the mounting surface abutting against the lifting device. This achieves the effect of correcting the battery cover's placement position by flipping it, thus preventing operators from accidentally installing the terminals from the surface to be assembled onto the mounting surface of the battery cover during production, and avoiding the need to remove the terminals from the mounting surface. This reduces labor costs, improves battery cover production efficiency, and increases the yield rate of both the battery cover and the batteries produced from it. Attached Figure Description

[0041] See appendix Figures 1-5This embodiment provides a battery cover position adjustment device applied to a battery cover manufacturing equipment. The battery cover manufacturing equipment has a mounting position, and a battery cover 6 is mounted on the mounting position. The battery cover 6 has a surface to be assembled and a mounting surface that are positioned opposite each other. The position adjustment device includes: a detection device 5, at least one set of clamping devices, and at least one set of lifting devices cooperating with the clamping devices. The clamping devices include a first clamping component 1 and a second clamping component 2, which are positioned opposite each other on both sides of the mounting position. The first clamping component 1 can abut against a first end of the battery cover 6, and the second clamping component 2 can abut against a second end of the battery cover 6. The detection device 5 is positioned above the mounting position and is used to acquire position information of the battery cover 6. The lifting devices can abut against the battery cover 6 mounted on the mounting position. When the detection device 5 acquires the position information of the mounting surface, the lifting devices can move the battery cover 6 toward the clamping devices. The device can rotate the battery cover 6 until the position of the battery cover 6 changes from the surface to be assembled to the mounting surface. This invention, through the coordinated detection device 5, clamping device, and lifting device, allows the lifting device to move the battery cover 6 towards the clamping device when the detection device 5 detects that the battery cover 6 is in the position to be flipped. The first clamping component 1 and the second clamping component 2 then rotate the battery cover 6 until the position of the battery cover 6 changes from the surface to be assembled to the mounting surface. This achieves the effect of correcting the placement of the battery cover 6 by flipping, thus preventing operators from accidentally installing the terminals that need to be installed on the surface to be assembled onto the mounting surface of the battery cover 6 during production, and avoiding the need to remove the terminals installed on the mounting surface. This avoids increased labor costs, improves the production efficiency of the battery cover 6, and increases the yield rate of the battery cover 6 and the batteries made from it.

[0042] In this embodiment, the battery cover 6 has one correct posture and two postures to be corrected. Along the length of the battery cover 6, the two opposite ends of the battery cover 6 are the first end and the second end, respectively. When the assembly surface of the battery cover 6 set in the mounting position faces the detection device 5, the first end is close to the first clamping component 1 and the second end is close to the second clamping component 2. At this time, the battery cover 6 is in the correct posture. When the mounting surface of the battery cover 6 set in the mounting position faces the detection device 5, the battery cover 6 is in the first posture to be corrected. When the assembly surface of the battery cover 6 set in the mounting position faces the detection device 5, the second end is close to the first clamping component 1 and the first end is close to the second clamping component 2. At this time, the battery cover 6 is in the second posture to be corrected.

[0043] Understandably, the battery cover 6 is installed at the open end of the battery casing to form a sealed space. The terminal post is installed on the assembly surface of the battery cover 6. If the detection device 5 detects the assembly surface of the battery cover 6, it means that the assembly surface is facing the detection device 5. In this case, there is no need to flip the battery cover 6, and the terminal post can be installed directly on the assembly surface. If the detection device 5 detects the mounting surface of the battery cover 6, it means that the mounting surface is facing the detection device 5. In this case, the battery cover 6 needs to be flipped by the cooperation of the clamping device and the lifting device so that the assembly surface is facing the detection device 5. Only then can the terminal post be installed on the assembly surface.

[0044] It is also understandable that the current positive and negative terminals are the same shape and size, making them difficult to distinguish. This often leads to operators installing the positive and negative terminals in reverse during the production process, resulting in reduced production efficiency, increased labor costs, and serious impact on battery quality, significantly reducing the pass rate of finished batteries. To avoid the above problems, in this embodiment, when the battery cover 6 is in the second posture to be corrected, the third driving component 7 controls the battery cover 6 to rotate 180° to adjust the posture of the battery cover 6, so that the battery cover 6 rotates from the second posture to the correct posture.

[0045] Specifically, when the battery cover 6 is in the first posture to be corrected, the first clamping component 1 and the second clamping component 2 clamp both ends of the battery cover 6 and control the first clamping component 1 and the second clamping component 2 to flip the battery cover 6, so as to switch the battery cover 6 from the first posture to the correct posture, thereby ensuring the installation of the positive terminal and the negative terminal on the battery cover 6; when the battery cover 6 is in the second posture to be corrected, the third driving component 7 drives the suction cup component 4 to rotate 180° around the axis of the suction cup component 4, so as to switch the battery cover 6 from the second posture to the correct posture, thereby ensuring the installation of the positive terminal and the negative terminal on the battery cover.

[0046] In this embodiment, the detection device 5 is a device capable of acquiring the position information of the battery cover 6. Its structure is not specifically limited here. Preferably, the detection device 5 is a detection camera.

[0047] Specifically, the detection device 5 is fixedly installed above the mounting position. The detection device 5 determines whether the battery cover 6 is in the correct posture by detecting the explosion-proof hole on the battery cover 6. In this embodiment, the explosion-proof hole is not a through hole; it is located on the surface to be assembled and does not penetrate the mounting surface. The explosion-proof hole is positioned facing one end of the battery cover 6. Therefore, the detection device 5 can determine whether the battery cover 6 is in the correct posture through the explosion-proof hole. The detection device 5 has a detection range. If the explosion-proof hole on the battery cover 6 is within the detection range of the detection device 5, the battery cover 6 is determined to be in the correct posture. If the explosion-proof hole on the battery cover 6 is not within the detection range of the detection device 5, the battery cover 6 is determined to be in a posture that needs correction.

[0048] In this embodiment, the battery cover preparation equipment includes a conveyor belt with multiple mounting positions spaced apart along the running direction of the conveyor belt. Each mounting position can hold a battery cover 6, and the length direction of the battery cover 6 is consistent with the width direction of the conveyor belt.

[0049] In some possible embodiments, the first clamping assembly 1 includes a first turntable 11 and a first driving member 12; the first turntable 11 is drivenly connected to the first driving member 12, and the first driving member 12 can drive the first turntable 11 to rotate; the second clamping assembly 2 includes a second turntable 21 and a mounting member 22; the second turntable 21 and the mounting member 22 are rotatably connected, and the second turntable 21 can rotate relative to the mounting member 22 along the axial direction of the second turntable 21. By providing the first clamping assembly 1 with the first turntable 11 and the first driving member 12, the first driving member 12 can drive the first turntable 11 to rotate. Turntable 11 rotates, and the second clamping assembly 2 is provided with a second turntable 21 and a mounting component 22 that are rotatably connected. This enables the first turntable 11 and the second turntable 21 to abut against the opposite sides of the battery cover 6 and clamp the battery cover 6. Under the drive of the first driving component 12, the first turntable 11, the second turntable 12 and the battery cover 6 rotate synchronously to achieve the flipping of the battery cover 6. This prevents operators from installing the terminals that need to be installed on the assembly surface of the battery cover 6 onto the mounting surface of the battery cover 6 during the production process, thereby improving the production efficiency of the battery cover 6.

[0050] In this embodiment, the structure of the first driving member 12 is not limited, as long as the first driving member 12 can drive the first turntable 11 to rotate around the axis of the first turntable 11. Preferably, the first driving member 12 is a rotary cylinder.

[0051] In this embodiment, the second turntable 21 is mounted on the mounting member 22. The structure of the mounting member 22 is not limited, as long as the mounting member 22 can limit the axial movement of the second turntable 21 and the second turntable 21 can rotate relative to the mounting member 22.

[0052] Preferably, the mounting part 22 is provided with a mounting hole, and a bearing is provided in the mounting hole. One end of the rotating shaft of the second turntable 21 is inserted into the bearing and fixedly connected to the inner ring of the bearing. The mounting part 22 is also provided with a limiting member, which is connected to the rotating shaft and the mounting part 22 respectively. The limiting member can restrict the rotating shaft from moving along the axial direction of the rotating shaft.

[0053] With the first turntable 11 and the second turntable 21 clamping the battery cover 6, the first turntable 11 and the second turntable 21 rotate synchronously relative to the mounting member 22 under the drive of the first drive member 12.

[0054] In some possible embodiments, the first turntable 11 is provided with a first slot 111; the first slot 111 can accommodate the first end of the battery cover 6, and the end face of the second turntable 21 can abut against the second end of the battery cover 6. By providing the first slot 111, it is possible to prevent the battery cover 6 from shifting relative to the turntable during the process of the first turntable 11 and the second turntable 21 rotating the battery cover 6. This ensures that the first clamping component 1 and the second clamping component 2 can accurately and efficiently rotate the battery cover 6 and accurately place the battery cover 6 on the lifting device.

[0055] Specifically, the length of the first card slot 111 is equal to the diameter of the first turntable 11, and the first card slot 111 passes through the center of the first turntable 11.

[0056] Specifically, the thickness of the battery cover 6 is equal to the width of the first card slot 111; or, the thickness of the battery cover 6 is slightly greater than the width of the first card slot 111; or, the thickness of the battery cover 6 is slightly less than the width of the first card slot 111.

[0057] It is understandable that the first turntable 11 is provided with a first card slot 111, and the second turntable 21 may be provided with a second card slot that cooperates with the first card slot 111; the second turntable 21 may also not be provided with a second card slot, and the end face of the second turntable 21 near the battery cover 6 abuts against the battery cover 6.

[0058] In some other possible embodiments, both the first turntable 11 and the second turntable 21 are provided with a snap-fit ​​groove, and the second turntable 21 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​groove that cooperates with the first snap-fit ​​groove 111. The first snap-fit ​​groove 111 and the second snap-fit ​​groove are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the battery cover plate 6. The first snap-fit ​​groove 111 is arranged along the diameter direction of the first turntable 11, and the second snap-fit ​​groove is arranged along the diameter direction of the second turntable 21.

[0059] Specifically, the size and location of the second card slot are the same as those of the first card slot 111, and will not be described in detail here.

[0060] In some other possible embodiments, the structure of the second gripping component 2 is the same as that of the first gripping component 1, that is, the second gripping component 2 also includes a turntable and a driving member, specifically the second gripping component 2 includes a second turntable 21 and a second driving member.

[0061] The second turntable 21 is connected to the second driving component, which can drive the second turntable 21 to rotate. Specifically, the rotation speed and start / stop timing of the first driving component 12 and the second driving component are the same, so as to ensure that the first turntable 11 and the second turntable 21 rotate synchronously.

[0062] In some possible embodiments, the first turntable 11 and the second turntable 21 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the battery cover plate 6, and the first snap-fit ​​groove 111 is arranged along the diameter direction of the first turntable 11. By symmetrically arranging the first turntable 11 and the second turntable 21 on both sides of the battery cover plate 6, the contact area between the first turntable 11 and the battery cover plate 6 and the contact area between the second turntable 21 and the battery cover plate 6 can be guaranteed, thereby improving the stability of the first turntable 11 and the second turntable 21 clamping and flipping the battery cover plate 6.

[0063] In this embodiment, the depth of the first card slot 111 is set according to the actual situation and is not limited here.

[0064] In some possible embodiments, the first clamping assembly 1 further includes a first sliding assembly 13, and a first driving member 12 is fixedly disposed on the first sliding assembly 13. The first sliding assembly 13 can drive the first driving member 12 and the first turntable 11 to move toward or away from the second clamping assembly 2. The second clamping assembly 2 further includes a second sliding assembly 23, and a mounting member 22 is fixedly disposed on the second sliding assembly 23. The second sliding assembly 23 can drive the mounting member 22 and the second turntable 21 to move toward or away from the first clamping assembly 1. By setting the first sliding assembly 13 and the second sliding assembly 23, the first turntable 11 and the second turntable 21 can be driven to move toward each other or away from each other, so as to quickly clamp or disassemble the battery cover 6 with the first turntable 11 and the second turntable 21, thereby improving the efficiency of flipping and disassembling the battery cover 6.

[0065] In this embodiment, the specific structure of the first sliding component 13 and the second sliding component 23 is not limited, as long as the first sliding component 13 can drive the first turntable 11 to move toward the second gripping component 2, and the second sliding component 23 can drive the second turntable 21 to move toward the first gripping component 1.

[0066] Preferably, the first sliding component 13 is a slide cylinder, and the second sliding component 23 is a slide cylinder.

[0067] In this embodiment, the battery cover position adjustment device further includes a first bracket and a second bracket. The fixed end of the first sliding component 13 is fixed on the first bracket, and the sliding end of the first sliding component 13 is fixed on the first driving member 12. The first sliding component 13 can drive the first driving member 12 and the first turntable 11 to move toward or away from the second clamping component 2. The first end of the second bracket can abut against the ground, and the second end of the second bracket is fixedly connected or slidably connected to the first bracket.

[0068] The battery cover position adjustment device also includes a third bracket and a fourth bracket. The fixed end of the second sliding component 23 is fixed on the third bracket, and the sliding end of the second sliding component 23 is fixed on the mounting component 22. The second sliding component 23 can drive the mounting component 22 and the second turntable 21 to move toward or away from the first clamping component 1. The first end of the fourth bracket can abut against the ground, and the second end of the fourth bracket is fixedly connected or slidably connected to the third bracket.

[0069] In this embodiment, the sliding direction of the first bracket relative to the second bracket, the sliding direction of the third bracket relative to the fourth bracket, and the lifting direction of the lifting device are all arranged in parallel and parallel to the thickness direction of the battery cover plate 6 installed at the mounting position.

[0070] In this embodiment, the battery cover position adjustment device also includes a fifth bracket, a third driving component 7 and a suction cup assembly 4 are disposed on the fifth bracket, the fifth bracket is disposed between the first bracket and the third bracket, and the fifth bracket has gaps with the first bracket and the third bracket on both sides, so that the lifting component 3 will not interfere with the brackets on both sides when it drives the fifth bracket to move up and down, thus ensuring the stability of the lifting process.

[0071] In this embodiment, if both the first turntable 11 and the second turntable 21 are provided with snap-fit ​​grooves, the two snap-fit ​​grooves have the same depth, and the two snap-fit ​​grooves are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the battery cover plate 6, then the distance that the first sliding component 13 moves toward the second clamping component 2 is equal to the distance that the second sliding component 23 moves toward the first clamping component 1.

[0072] If the first turntable 11 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​groove 111 and the second turntable 21 is not provided with a snap-fit ​​groove, and the first turntable 11 and the second turntable 21 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the battery cover plate 6, then the distance that the first sliding component 13 moves toward the second clamping component 2 is greater than the distance that the second sliding component 23 moves toward the first clamping component 1.

[0073] In this embodiment, the distance by which the first sliding component 13 moves toward the second clamping component 2 to clamp the battery cover 6 is the distance required for the first sliding component 13 to return to its initial position, and the distance by which the second sliding component 23 moves toward the first clamping component 1 to clamp the battery cover 6 is the distance required for the second sliding component 23 to return to its initial position; wherein, the initial position of the first sliding component 13 is the farthest distance from the battery cover 6, and the initial position of the second sliding component 23 is the farthest distance from the battery cover 6.

[0074] In some possible embodiments, the first sliding component 13 and the second sliding component 23 are located in the same horizontal plane; the first sliding component 13 and the second sliding component 23 are disposed above the mounting position, and the planes on which the first sliding component 13 and the second sliding component 23 are located are spaced apart from the plane on which the mounting position is located. By disposing the planes on which the first sliding component 13 and the second sliding component 23 are located above the mounting position and spaced apart from the plane on which the mounting position is located, it can be ensured that when the first sliding component 13 and the second sliding component 23 flip the battery cover 6, the first sliding component 13, the second sliding component 23 and the battery cover 6 will not interfere with the mounting position, thus ensuring the stability of the battery cover 6 during flipping operation.

[0075] In some possible embodiments, the first sliding component 13 can drive the first turntable 11 to reciprocate along the first direction, and the second sliding component 23 can drive the second turntable 21 to reciprocate along the first direction; wherein, the first direction is consistent with the length direction of the battery cover 6. By aligning the first direction with the length direction of the battery cover 6, the first sliding component 13 and the second sliding component 23 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the battery cover 6 along the length direction of the battery cover 6, thus avoiding interference between the first sliding component 13 and the second sliding component 23 and the mounting position.

[0076] In some possible embodiments, the lifting device can move the battery cover 6 between a first limit position and a second limit position; when the battery cover 6 is in the first limit position, the first clamping component 1 and the second clamping component 2 can clamp the battery cover 6; when the battery cover 6 is in the second limit position, the battery cover 6 is set in the mounting position, and the lifting device moves the battery cover 6 between the first limit position and the second limit position, so that the lifting device can quickly move the battery cover 6 to be aligned with the first turntable 11 and the second turntable 21, thereby improving the efficiency of clamping and aligning the battery cover 6 with the first turntable 11 and the second turntable 21.

[0077] In some possible embodiments, the lifting device includes a lifting component 3 and a suction cup component 4 capable of fixing the battery cover 6 disposed at the mounting position; the lifting component 3 can drive the suction cup component 4 and the battery cover 6 to move together between a first limit position and a second limit position. By setting the suction cup component 4 on the top of the lifting component 3, the battery cover 6 can be fixed, preventing the battery cover 6 from falling off the top of the lifting device and ensuring the stability of the battery cover 6 during the lifting or lowering process.

[0078] In this embodiment, the suction cup assembly 4 can adsorb and fix the battery cover 6. When the battery cover 6 needs to be adjusted, the suction cup assembly 4 cuts off the adsorption force applied to the battery cover 6, so that the battery cover 6 can move relative to the suction cup assembly 4.

[0079] In some possible embodiments, the lifting device further includes a third driving member 7, which is drivenly connected to the suction cup assembly 4. The third driving member 7 can drive the suction cup assembly 4 to rotate around the axis of the suction cup assembly 4. By setting the third driving member 7, the suction cup assembly 4 and the battery cover 6 on the suction cup assembly 4 can be driven to rotate synchronously, so as to realize the rotation of the battery cover 6 on the plane where the installation position is located, thereby adjusting the position of the battery cover 6. The battery cover 6 is installed with the terminal post in the correct posture, further avoiding the positive terminal post and the negative terminal post being installed in reverse, thereby improving the qualification rate of the finished battery.

[0080] In this embodiment, the structure of the third driving component 7 is not limited, as long as the third driving component 7 can drive the suction cup assembly 4 to rotate. Preferably, the third driving component 7 is a rotary cylinder.

[0081] In this embodiment, the battery cover position adjustment device also includes a controller, which is communicatively connected to the detection device 5, the clamping device and the lifting device.
