Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery technology, and in particular to a battery frame, battery, and electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] In automated battery assembly lines, battery cells and circuit boards need to be assembled onto battery frames. During assembly, vision equipment needs to identify the contours of the receiving slots on the battery frame to provide coordinates, thereby assisting the robotic arm in installing the cells and circuit boards into the corresponding slots. Since vision equipment primarily relies on color differences to identify component contours, and the color difference in battery frames in related technologies is very small, this results in low positioning efficiency and accuracy for the vision equipment. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model discloses a battery frame, a battery, and an electronic device to solve the problem of low positioning efficiency and positioning accuracy when positioning a battery frame in related technologies.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0005] In a first aspect, this application discloses a battery frame, which includes a cell mounting area and a circuit board mounting area. The cell mounting area has a cell receiving groove, and the circuit board mounting area has a circuit board receiving groove. The groove openings of the cell receiving groove and the circuit board receiving groove have the same orientation. The battery frame is provided with positioning marks.

[0006] Secondly, this application also discloses a battery, which includes a battery cell, a circuit board and the battery frame described in the first aspect, wherein the circuit board is connected to the battery cell, the circuit board is disposed in the circuit board receiving groove, and the battery cell is disposed in the battery cell receiving groove.

[0007] Thirdly, this application also discloses an electronic device, which includes the battery described in the second aspect.

[0008] The technical solution adopted in this utility model can achieve the following technical effects:

[0009] The battery frame disclosed in this application uses positioning markers to create a significant color difference between the other parts of the battery frame and the positioning markers. Since the position of the positioning markers on the battery frame is fixed, a vision device can determine the overall coordinates of the battery frame by identifying the coordinates of the positioning markers. This allows a robotic arm to install the battery cells and circuit boards into the cell receiving slots and circuit board receiving slots, respectively. Because of the significant color difference between the other parts of the battery frame and the positioning markers, the vision device can quickly and accurately identify the positioning markers, thereby quickly and accurately obtaining the overall coordinates of the battery frame. This improves the efficiency and accuracy of the vision device in locating the battery frame. Attached Figure Description

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0019] The technical solutions disclosed in the various embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 This utility model discloses a battery frame, which includes a cell mounting area 100 and a circuit board mounting area 200. The cell mounting area 100 has a cell receiving groove 110, and the circuit board mounting area 200 has a circuit board receiving groove 210. The openings of the cell receiving groove 110 and the circuit board receiving groove 210 face the same direction. The battery frame is provided with a positioning mark 300. The positioning mark 300 can be located on the side of the battery frame where the cell receiving groove 110 is located.

[0021] It should be noted that the positioning mark 300 needs to have a significant color difference from other parts of the battery frame so that the vision device can quickly and accurately identify the positioning mark 300 on the battery frame. Since the position of the positioning mark 300 on the battery frame is fixed, after the vision device recognizes the outline of the positioning mark 300, it can determine the coordinates of the positioning mark 300 (which can be the coordinates of the edge outline of the positioning mark 300, or the coordinates of multiple non-collinear points on the positioning mark 300). Then, the overall coordinates of the battery frame (including the outline coordinates of the cell receiving slot 110 and the circuit board receiving slot 210) can be calculated. Before installing the cell and circuit board into the battery frame, the coordinates of the cell and circuit board also need to be confirmed by the vision device. So, during the process of the robotic arm grasping the cell and circuit board and installing them into the battery frame, the robotic arm can adjust the position and angle of the cell and circuit board according to the overall coordinates of the battery frame and the coordinates of the cell and circuit board, so that the cell and circuit board can be accurately installed into the cell receiving slot 110 and the circuit board receiving slot 210, respectively.

[0022] The battery frame disclosed in this application uses a positioning mark 300 to create a significant color difference between the positioning mark 300 and other parts of the battery frame. Since the position of the positioning mark 300 on the battery frame is fixed, a vision device can determine the overall coordinates of the battery frame by recognizing the coordinates of the positioning mark 300. This allows a robotic arm to install the battery cells and circuit boards into the battery cell receiving slot 110 and the circuit board receiving slot 210, respectively. Because of the significant color difference between the positioning mark 300 and other parts of the battery frame, the vision device can quickly and accurately identify the positioning mark 300, thereby quickly and accurately obtaining the overall coordinates of the battery frame. This improves the efficiency and accuracy of the vision device in locating the battery frame.

[0023] Optionally, the positioning mark 300 may include a first marking portion 310, which may include a first bar mark 311 and a second bar mark 312. The first bar mark 311 and the second bar mark 312 may be vertically distributed. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 2The first bar identifier 311 and the second bar identifier 312 can be vertically distributed and intersect. Of course, the first bar identifier 311 and the second bar identifier 312 can also be non-perpendicular. For example, the included angle between the first bar identifier 311 and the second bar identifier 312 can be 60° or 70°, etc. This application embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0024] The battery frame disclosed in this application has a structure in which the first marking part 310 is configured to include a first bar mark 311 and a second bar mark 312, and the first bar mark 311 and the second bar mark 312 are vertically distributed. This makes the coordinate relationship of the first marking part 310 determined by the vision device relatively simple, thereby simplifying the process of calculating the overall coordinates of the battery frame based on the coordinates of the first marking part 310.

[0025] Optionally, both the first bar mark 311 and the second bar mark 312 can be disposed on the bottom wall of the circuit board receiving groove 210, and can extend along two adjacent side walls of the circuit board receiving groove 210 respectively. The extension direction of the first bar mark 311 and the extension direction of the second bar mark 312 can both be parallel to the bottom wall of the circuit board receiving groove 210. Since the positional relationship of the side wall of the receiving groove 210 relative to the entire battery frame is easier to determine, by disposing both the first bar mark 311 and the second bar mark 312 on the bottom wall of the circuit board receiving groove 210 and extending along two adjacent side walls of the circuit board receiving groove 210 respectively, the positional relationship of the first bar mark 311 and the second bar mark 312 relative to the battery frame is also easier to determine, which is beneficial for calculating the overall coordinates of the battery frame based on the coordinates of the first bar mark 311 and the second bar mark 312.

[0026] When components such as battery cells and circuit boards are mounted on a battery frame to form a battery, in order to improve the battery's heat dissipation capacity, the bottom wall of the battery cell receiving slot 110 may optionally have a heat dissipation opening 111 and an annular support portion 112 surrounding the heat dissipation opening 111. The annular support portion 112 can be used to support the battery cells. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The heat dissipation opening 111 can be the entire notch formed in the bottom wall of the cell receiving groove 110. Of course, the bottom wall of the cell receiving groove 110 can also be heat dissipated by forming a mesh structure. This application embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on the heat dissipation structure formed in the bottom wall of the cell receiving groove 110.

[0027] The battery frame disclosed in this application provides a heat dissipation channel for the battery cell by opening a heat dissipation opening 111 on the bottom wall of the cell receiving slot 110, thereby improving the heat dissipation capacity of the battery.

[0028] Optionally, the first marking portion 310 may be disposed in the circuit board mounting area 200, and the positioning marking 300 may further include a second marking portion 320. The second marking portion 320 may be disposed at the edge of the opening of the cell receiving groove 110, and extend along the edge of the opening of the cell receiving groove 110 (see reference). Figure 3 Of course, the second marking part 320 can also be provided on the annular support part 112, and can extend along the inner wall of the cell receiving groove 110 (please refer to...). Figure 4 ).

[0029] The battery frame disclosed in this application embodiment has a second marking part 320, which is configured to extend along the edge of the opening of the cell receiving groove 110 or along the inner wall of the cell receiving groove 110. This allows the vision device to calculate the overall coordinates of the battery frame after obtaining the coordinates of the second marking part 320. The overall coordinates of the battery frame can then be verified against the overall coordinates of the battery frame calculated based on the coordinates of the first marking part 310. When the overall coordinates of the battery frame calculated based on the coordinates of the second marking part 320 are within a preset difference range, it can be confirmed that the obtained overall coordinates of the battery frame are accurate, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the obtained overall coordinates of the battery frame.

[0030] Specifically, there can be multiple second marking sections 320, and these multiple second marking sections 320 can be distributed around the opening of the cell receiving slot 110 or around the heat dissipation opening 111.

[0031] Optionally, the positioning mark 300 can be a textured surface on the battery frame. A textured surface is a matte finish. By setting the positioning mark 300 to a textured surface, the process of setting the positioning mark 300 becomes relatively simple.

[0032] In another embodiment, with the opening of the cell receiving slot 110 facing upwards, the positioning mark 300 can be a marking groove that extends through the battery frame in the direction of the extension of the central axis of the cell receiving slot 110. The marking groove can be L-shaped or T-shaped, and the shape of the marking groove is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0033] The battery frame disclosed in this application provides a positioning mark 300 that extends through the battery frame in the direction of the extension of the central axis of the cell receiving slot 110, so that the positioning mark 300 will not be reduced in color due to wear during use.

[0034] Optionally, the cell mounting area 100 may have a plurality of cell receiving slots 110, which may be distributed along a first direction a. The circuit board receiving slot 210 and the cell receiving slots 110 may be distributed along a second direction b, and the projection of the circuit board receiving slot 210 on the second direction b may overlap with the projection of the plurality of cell receiving slots 110 on the second direction b. The first direction a and the second direction b are perpendicular.

[0035] The battery frame disclosed in this application embodiment sets the projection of the circuit board receiving groove 210 in the second direction b to have an overlapping area with the projection of the multiple cell receiving grooves 110 in the second direction b, thereby facilitating the electrical connection between the cells disposed in the multiple cell receiving grooves 110 and the circuit board disposed in the circuit board receiving groove 210.

[0036] This application also discloses a battery, which includes a battery cell, a circuit board and the battery frame disclosed in the above embodiments. The circuit board is connected to the battery cell, the circuit board is disposed in the circuit board receiving groove 210, and the battery cell is disposed in the battery cell receiving groove 110.

[0037] The battery disclosed in this application embodiment, by setting the battery frame disclosed in the above embodiment, enables the vision device to quickly and accurately identify the positioning mark 300, and thus quickly and accurately obtain the overall coordinates of the battery frame, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of the vision device in locating the battery frame.
