Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of foam processing technology, specifically, it relates to a dual-station feeding device for foam pads. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of power batteries, logistics pallets are a crucial component, responsible for the transfer of materials between different workstations. Especially at the winding station, the wound bare cells are in direct contact with the pallet surface. During production, the cells move along the conveyor line on the pallet, and particularly when stopping at the next workstation, friction occurs between the bare cells and the pallet surface due to inertia. This friction often causes damage to the cell's electrodes or decarburization, directly affecting the battery's quality and safety. Therefore, protecting the pallet surface, especially the contact points with the bare cells, becomes paramount.

[0003] To prevent damage to bare battery cells caused by friction, foam pads are typically installed on the tray surface at the cell contact points during production. Due to the complex shapes and varying sizes of these foam pads, irregularly shaped pads need to be cut according to the different cell forms for loading. These irregularly shaped foam pads effectively alleviate friction between the cells and the tray, reducing electrode damage and decarbonization risks, and improving battery yield. However, the demand for foam pads is large and their shapes are diverse. Traditional manual cutting or single-station mechanical cutting is often inefficient and cannot quickly respond to production line demands, resulting in low production efficiency and wasted time. To solve these problems, an automated device is needed that can improve production efficiency, reduce manual intervention, and enable rapid batch loading of irregularly shaped foam pads.

Detailed Implementation

[0016] 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.

[0017] One embodiment of this application provides a dual-station feeding device for foam pads, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, it includes: a stroke cylinder fixing plate 1, which serves to support and fix the cylinder; The stroke cylinder 2 has a fixed part connected to the stroke cylinder fixing plate 1. The structure of the stroke cylinder 2 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The stroke cylinder 2 can also be replaced by other power units, such as telescopic motors. The movable end of the stroke cylinder 2 is connected to the mounting plate 3. A fixed bracket 4 is detachably connected to the mounting plate 3; one end of the fixed bracket 4 is connected to a first robotic arm 5, and the other end of the fixed bracket 4 is connected to a second robotic arm 6. A first material platform 7 is located directly below the first robotic arm 5, and a second material platform 8 is located directly below the second robotic arm 6; both the first material platform 7 and the second material platform 8 are used to place foam 9 to be cut. The first robotic arm 5 clamps the foam 9 to be cut on the first material platform 7, and the second robotic arm 6 clamps the foam 9 to be cut on the second material platform 8.

[0018] Furthermore, the structure of the second robotic arm 6 is the same as that of the first robotic arm 5. The first robotic arm 5 includes a first connecting plate 51, on which a fixing plate 52 is connected. The fixing plate 52 is detachably connected to the fixing bracket 4 by fasteners. A gripper cylinder 53 is mounted on the first connecting plate 51. The gripper cylinder 53 has two movable ends, which are symmetrically arranged. Grippers 54 are connected to the movable ends of the gripper cylinder 53. The two grippers 54 move relative to each other or in opposite directions. When the two grippers 54 move relative to each other, they approach each other. When the two grippers 54 move in opposite directions, they move away from each other. The grippers 54 are L-shaped. The first connecting plate 51 is connected to a guide sleeve 55. For example, there are four guide sleeves 55, which are located at the four corners of the first connecting plate 51. A guide rod 56 is slidably connected to the guide sleeve 55. The number of guide rods 56 is the same as the number of guide sleeves 55. The upper end of the guide rod 56 moves through the guide sleeve 55 and is connected to a limit block 57. The lower end of the guide rod 56 is connected to a pressure plate 58; the bottom of the fixing part of the gripper cylinder 53 is connected to a limiting plate 59, and a limiting tube 510 is sleeved on the guide rod 56. The limiting tube 510 is located between the limiting plate 59 and the pressure plate 58. As an example, the guide rod 56 moves through the limiting plate 59, and the limiting plate 59 has a through hole for the guide rod 56 to pass through. After the pressure plate 58 presses onto the surface of the foam 9 to be cut, the guide rod 56 continues to move on the guide sleeve 55. Then, under the action of the limit tube 510, the pressure plate 58 is relatively fixed. Then, the gripper cylinder 53 works, driving the gripper 54 to grip the foam 9 to be cut.

[0019] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the structure of the second material platform 8 is the same as that of the first material platform 7; the first material platform 7 includes a material platform support 71, and a tray 72 is connected to the material platform support 71. The tray 72 is used to place the foam 9 to be cut; a clearance groove 73 is provided on the tray 72, which is used to make way for the gripper 54 when it is working.

[0020] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the stroke cylinder fixing plate 1 is provided with a linear guide rail 11, and a slider 12 is slidably connected to the linear guide rail 11. The slider 12 is connected to the mounting plate 3, and the sliding direction of the slider 12 is the same as the movement direction of the stroke cylinder 2.

[0021] In use, the foam 9 to be cut is placed on the tray 72, and then the stroke cylinder 2 is activated, driving the first robotic arm 5 to the preset position. Then the gripper cylinder 53 and the pressure plate 58 work together to grip the foam 9 to be cut on the tray 72. This can effectively improve the automation level of the production line, reduce human error in the production process, reduce production costs, and improve the overall quality of battery products.

[0022] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0024] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the patent application of the present utility model shall be covered by the present utility model.
