Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of adhesive coating equipment technology, and in particular to an adhesive coating fixture and adhesive coating system. Background Technology

[0002] In the assembly process of new energy battery modules, the direct-cooling plate needs to be coated with thermally conductive structural adhesive on both sides before being extruded and fixed to the cell module. In the production process, the adhesive application process for the direct-cooling plate generally relies on manual operation of a manual glue gun. This results in poor consistency of the adhesive application trajectory and low precision in adhesive quantity control, directly affecting the quality of the thermal interface and the battery's thermal management performance. Because the incoming direct-cooling plates are generally deformed, traditional tooling lacks an adaptive flattening mechanism for deformed parts, making it impossible to effectively compensate for deformation. When using automated adhesive application equipment, it is not only difficult to ensure the flatness of the cold plate, but the lack of a precise limiting mechanism also leads to adhesive path deviation. Furthermore, the layout of the limiting structure cannot adapt to the different adhesive application trajectory requirements of the front and back sides of the direct-cooling plate, making it easy for operators to confuse the installation orientation and cause incorrect adhesive application. These defects collectively restrict the large-scale application of automated adhesive application for direct-cooling plates, becoming an obstacle to improving battery assembly quality and production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention provides a glue-applying fixture and glue-applying system to solve the technical problems of automatic glue-applying path deviation and positional error, glue quantity loss, poor glue-applying consistency, and poor stability caused by deformation of the cold plate and confusion between the front and back sides of the installation.

[0005] The positioning assembly includes a first positioning assembly and a second positioning assembly arranged at intervals along the width direction of the tooling base plate. When the direct cooling plate is disposed on the first positioning assembly or the second positioning assembly, the pressing assembly is located on the side of the direct cooling plate and pressed against the surface of the direct cooling plate.

[0006] The direct cooling plate includes a first adhesive-coated surface and a second adhesive-coated surface opposite to it.

The second positioning component is configured such that the direct cooling plate can only be installed on the second positioning component in a single direction and the second adhesive-coated surface is opposite to the plane of the tooling base plate.

[0007] In one embodiment of this utility model, the tooling base plate has a first end and a second end that are opposite each other along its length direction.

[0008] The first positioning component includes a first positioning block disposed at the first end and a second positioning block disposed at the second end. The first positioning block and the second positioning block are configured as an asymmetrical structure so that the straight cooling plate can only be installed on the first positioning component in a single direction and the first adhesive surface is away from the plane of the tooling base plate.

[0009] The second positioning component includes a third positioning block disposed at the first end and a fourth positioning block disposed at the second end.

[0010] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first positioning component and the second positioning component are provided with a positioning structure, wherein the positioning structure is a stepped groove and its outline is adapted to the shape of the plug at one end of the straight cooling plate.

[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, the stepped groove is disposed on the first positioning member and the third positioning member, and the second positioning member and the fourth positioning member are provided with a limiting surface that matches the contour of the end of the straight cooling plate without a plug.

[0014] A spring is fitted onto the guide post;

[0015] The pressure block, which forms an elastic self-locking mechanism with the spring through a locking member.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present invention, multiple sets of the pressing components are arranged along the length direction of the tooling base plate and are correspondingly disposed in the middle region of the straight cooling plate.

[0017] In one embodiment of the present invention, a lateral limiting component is further included. The lateral limiting component is arranged along the width direction of the tooling base plate. When the straight cooling plate is disposed on the positioning component, the lateral limiting component is in clearance fit with the side wall of the straight cooling plate.

[0018] In one embodiment of the present invention, the pressing assembly is configured such that the end of the pressing block maintains a clearance distance from the boundary of the adhesive application trajectory of the straight cooling plate.

[0019] In one embodiment of the present invention, a shim block is further provided at the bottom of the tooling base plate, and the thickness of the shim block is configured to maintain a preset height difference between the first adhesive surface and the second adhesive surface and the adhesive outlet of the external adhesive application equipment.

The axis of the adhesive outlet of the automated adhesive application device is perpendicular to the adhesive application surface of the straight cooling plate installed on the adhesive application fixture. The adhesive outlet is configured to move relative to the adhesive application surface along a preset trajectory, and the vertical distance between the outlet and the adhesive application surface remains constant during the movement.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The glue-applying fixing fixture and glue-applying system proposed in this utility model, through the first positioning component and the second positioning component corresponding to the differentiated glue-applying trajectory requirements of the two sides of the straight cold plate, and the use of the foolproof mechanism to forcibly limit the installation orientation, ensure that the first glue-applying surface and the second glue-applying surface are always in the preset spatial position when applying glue at their respective workstations.

[0022] The positioning component and the pressing component work together to limit and fix the straight cooling plate while flattening the surface deformation area, eliminating the interference of arching deformation on the glue application path, and providing a stable reference plane for automated glue application.

[0023] By coordinating the various components, defects such as directional confusion and lack of deformation compensation in automated adhesive coating are overcome, ensuring the accuracy of the adhesive coating trajectory, the stability of the adhesive coating process, and the consistency of quality, thus effectively improving the quality of battery assembly.

[0038] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments. Various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0039] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. The drawings only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components. In actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0040] In the following description, numerous details are explored to provide a more thorough explanation of embodiments of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that embodiments of the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other embodiments, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form rather than in detail to avoid obscuring embodiments of the present invention.

[0041] In the assembly process of new energy battery modules, the direct cooling plate needs to be coated with thermally conductive structural adhesive on both sides before being extruded and fixed to the cell module. Manual adhesive application is prone to causing loss of control over the adhesive line trajectory and adhesive amount consistency. Automated adhesive application can effectively improve operational efficiency and adhesive application consistency, but due to the deformation of the incoming direct cooling plate, it will hinder the automated equipment from implementing precise adhesive application. Moreover, due to the lack of error prevention mechanisms in the tooling, it cannot adapt to the different adhesive trajectory requirements on the front and back sides, and the operation is prone to confusion of direction, which will lead to assembly failure. This restricts the large-scale application of automated adhesive application for direct cooling plates and becomes an obstacle to improving battery assembly quality and production efficiency.

[0042] Please see Figures 1 to 7 This utility model proposes an adhesive fixing fixture for automatic adhesive application process of cold plate, which includes a fixture base plate 100 and a positioning component 300 and a pressing component 400 disposed on the fixture base plate 100. The positioning component 300 includes a first positioning component 310 and a second positioning component 320 arranged at intervals along the width direction of the tooling base plate 100. When the direct cooling plate 200 is disposed on the first positioning component 310 or the second positioning component 320, the pressing component 400 is located on the side of the direct cooling plate 200 and pressed onto the surface of the direct cooling plate 200. The direct cooling plate 200 includes a first adhesive surface 210 and a second adhesive surface 220 opposite to it. The first positioning component 310 is configured such that the direct cooling plate 200 can only be installed on the first positioning component 310 in a single direction and the first adhesive surface 210 is opposite to the plane of the tooling base plate 100. The second positioning component 320 is configured such that the direct cooling plate 200 can only be installed on the second positioning component 320 in a single direction and the second adhesive surface 220 is opposite to the plane of the tooling base plate 100.

[0043] The first positioning component 310 and the second positioning component 320 correspond to the differentiated adhesive application trajectory requirements of the double-sided cooling plate 200, and forcibly limit the installation orientation through a foolproof mechanism to ensure that the first adhesive application surface 210 and the second adhesive application surface 220 are always in the preset spatial posture when applying adhesive at their respective workstations. The positioning component 300 and the pressing component 400 work together to limit and fix the cooling plate 200 while flattening the surface deformation area, eliminating the interference of arching deformation on the adhesive application path, and providing a stable reference plane for automated adhesive application. This structure overcomes the defects of directional confusion and lack of deformation compensation in automated adhesive application, forms a standardized equipment interface, and ensures the accuracy of the adhesive application trajectory, the stability of the adhesive application process, and the consistency of adhesive application quality.

[0044] Please see Figures 1 to 7 In one optional embodiment, the tooling base plate 100 has a first end and a second end opposite to each other along its length. The first positioning component 310 includes a first positioning block 311 disposed at the first end and a second positioning block 312 disposed at the second end. The first positioning block 311 and the second positioning block 312 are configured with an asymmetrical structure so that the direct cooling plate 200 can only be installed on the first positioning component 310 in a single direction and the first adhesive surface 210 is away from the plane of the tooling base plate 100. The second positioning component 320 includes a third positioning block 321 disposed at the first end and a fourth positioning block 322 disposed at the second end. The third positioning block 321 and the fourth positioning block 322 are configured with an asymmetrical structure so that the direct cooling plate 200 can only be installed on the second positioning component 320 in a single direction and the second adhesive surface 220 is away from the plane of the tooling base plate 100. In other embodiments, a magnetic coding component or the like can also be used to achieve the single-direction installation constraint.

[0045] Please see Figures 1 to 7 In one optional embodiment, the direct cooling plate 200 has an irregularly shaped plug 230 at one end and a flat end at the other. The structural difference between the plug 230 and the flat end forms a natural error-proof feature. By utilizing the asymmetrical structure of the tooling in conjunction with the asymmetrical structures at both ends of the direct cooling plate 200, physical error-proofing is achieved, ensuring the uniqueness of the installation direction. When the automated equipment executes the glue application program, the preset glue application path coordinate system is bound to the spatial orientation of the plug 230, eliminating the risk of misalignment of the positive and negative trajectories from the source.

[0046] Please see Figures 1 to 7 In an optional embodiment, each positioning block on the first positioning component 310 and the second positioning component 320 is provided with a support portion and a lateral limiting portion. The support portion supports the bottom of the straight cooling plate 200 and works with the pressing component 400 to form a constraint in the height direction. The lateral limiting portion is set along the width direction of the tooling base plate 100. When the straight cooling plate 200 is installed, its two side walls are fitted with the limiting portion with a gap to lock the degree of freedom in the width direction, ensuring the installation position accuracy of the straight cooling plate 200, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the glue application trajectory.

[0047] Please see Figures 1 to 7In one optional embodiment, the first positioning component 310 and the second positioning component 320 are provided with positioning structures. The positioning structure is a stepped groove, the outline of which is adapted to the shape of the plug 230 at one end of the direct cooling plate 200. The positioning structure is located at one end of the positioning component 300. When the plug 230 of the direct cooling plate 200 engages with the groove at that end, it can achieve installation and positioning. When it contacts the non-grooved stop block at the other end, interference occurs, preventing it from being positioned correctly. The differentiated contours of the positioning blocks at both ends collaboratively constrain the correct installation position of the direct cooling plate 200. It is understood that the shape and size of the positioning structure are not limited, as long as its adaptation to the end structure of the direct cooling plate enables a unique installation orientation.

[0048] Please see Figures 1 to 7 In one optional embodiment, stepped grooves are provided on the first and third positioning members, and the second and fourth positioning members are provided with limiting surfaces that match the contour of one end of the straight cooling plate 200 without a plug 230. The limiting surfaces adopt an arc surface design, which matches the shape of the end of the straight cooling plate 200, providing support stability while limiting its movement. When the straight cooling plate 200 is correctly installed, the plug 230 is embedded in the groove, and the non-plug end naturally fits the limiting surface structure, forming a stable support. When the installation direction is incorrect, the outer edge of the plug 230 collides and blocks the limiting surface, failing to form a stable support and installation. This mating structure ensures positioning accuracy while achieving a zero error rate. It is understood that the positions of the first positioning component 310 and the second positioning component 320, as well as the structure and position of each positioning member, are not limited; they can be designed in conjunction with the preset glue application path of the automatic glue application equipment. The setting of the foolproof structure is not limited; in other embodiments, for example, a positioning pin can be used in conjunction with a plug hole to achieve the foolproof function. In addition, the design of the foolproof structure will also differ depending on the structure of the straight cooling plate 200.

[0049] Please see Figures 1 to 7In one optional embodiment, the pressing assembly 400 includes a base 410, a spring 420, a pressing block 430, and a locking element. The base 410 is mounted on the tooling base plate 100, and a guide post is vertically mounted on it to provide axial guidance. The spring 420 is sleeved on the guide post, and its stiffness coefficient matches the deformation rebound force of the cold plate. The spring 420 can be, for example, a flat-head helical spring 420. The pressing block 430 forms an elastic self-locking mechanism with the spring 420 through the locking element. The locking element can be, for example, a fixing nut 440, which locks and limits the pressing block 430. During operation, pressing down the pressing block 430 drives the spring 420 to compress and store energy. The locking element automatically locks to maintain constant pressure, so that the pressing block 430 acts on the surface of the cold plate 200 to eliminate arching deformation and ensure the positional accuracy of the adhesive application surface. After the adhesive application is completed, the locking element is released to release the constraint, and the cold plate 200 is removed. It is understood that the structure of the pressing assembly 400 is not limited, as long as it can achieve single-action self-locking for quick pressing. It should be noted that the preset position of the pressure block 430 is designed in conjunction with the installation position of the direct cooling plate 200 to ensure the accuracy of pressing and prevent local stress concentration from causing damage to the cooling plate.

[0050] Please see Figures 1 to 7 In one optional embodiment, multiple sets of pressing components 400 are arranged along the length of the tooling base plate 100 and correspondingly positioned in the central region of the direct cooling plate 200, which is the concentrated area of ​​arching deformation. Specifically, for example, each station can be provided with four sets of pressing components 400, each set including two pressing blocks 430, which press on both sides of the direct cooling plate 200 respectively. The four sets of pressing components 400 are arranged in a double-row staggered distribution. When the direct cooling plate 200 is installed, it can cover, for example, 40%-60% of the length of the direct cooling plate 200, so that the pressing force is concentrated on the area of ​​maximum deformation, effectively eliminating surface arching deformation. It is understood that the number and distribution position of the pressing components 400 are not limited, as long as the structure of the direct cooling plate 200 is designed to effectively eliminate the deformation of the direct cooling plate 200.

[0051] Please see Figures 1 to 7 In an optional embodiment, the pressing assembly 400 is configured such that the end of the pressing block 430 maintains a clearance distance from the boundary of the adhesive application path of the direct cooling plate 200. Specifically, for example, the distance between the boundary of the adhesive application path of the direct cooling plate 200 and the nearest side of the direct cooling plate 200 is 15mm. Considering factors such as adhesive diffusion characteristics, the distance between the end of the pressing block 430 and the nearest side of the direct cooling plate 200 is set to 8mm-10mm to ensure that the edge of the pressing block 430 does not interfere with the adhesive line and to provide a safe movement margin for the mixing tube.

[0052] Please see Figures 1 to 7In one optional embodiment, a lateral limiting component 500 is further included. The lateral limiting component 500 is arranged along the width direction of the tooling base plate 100. When the direct cooling plate 200 is disposed on the positioning component 300, the lateral limiting component 500 and the side wall of the direct cooling plate 200 are in clearance fit. Specifically, the lateral limiting component 500 includes limiting blocks. A set of limiting blocks is disposed in the middle of the direct cooling plate 200 and located on both sides thereon. The limiting blocks at both ends work together to ensure the correct position of the direct cooling plate 200. Combined with the pressing component 400 pressing the direct cooling plate 200, the stability of its position during the glue application process is ensured, and the glue application position is prevented from shifting. In other embodiments, multiple sets of limiting blocks can also be used to constrain the direct cooling plate 200 in the width direction.

[0053] Please see Figures 1 to 7 In one optional embodiment, a shim block 110 is further provided at the bottom of the tooling base plate 100. The thickness of the shim block 110 is configured to maintain a preset height difference between the first adhesive surface 210 and the second adhesive surface 220 and the adhesive outlet of the external adhesive applicator, ensuring the consistency of the adhesive release distance after installation of different batches of cold plates, and achieving good compatibility between the tooling and the adhesive applicator. Specifically, for example, if the Z-axis pressing height of the adhesive applicator is insufficient, a shim block 110 is added to the tooling base plate 100 to ensure that the adhesive mixing pipe outlet and the contact surface of the cold plate 200 maintain an optimal adhesive spacing of 5mm-8mm. It is understood that in other embodiments, the thickness of the shim block 110 needs to be calculated and determined based on the equipment interface parameters.

[0054] Please see Figures 1 to 7In one optional embodiment, before applying adhesive, the end cap of the cooling plate 200 is embedded in the stepped groove of the first positioning block 311, and the non-end cap end is attached to the limiting surface of the second positioning block 312. The first adhesive application surface 210 faces upward and the installation direction is correct. At this time, the cooling plate 200 remains stable under the support and limitation of the positioning blocks at both ends. If the installation direction is incorrect, the cooling plate 200 cannot be placed stably, effectively avoiding incorrect placement of the cooling plate 200 and resulting in incorrect adhesive application trajectory. After the cooling plate 200 is correctly placed, the lateral limiting components 500 are located on both sides to prevent lateral displacement. Then, the pressing block 430 of the pressing component 400 is pressed down and locked, and the pressing block 430 is pressed against the cooling plate 200. On the first adhesive-coating surface 210 of the 00, the pressure blocks 430 cooperate to press the straight cooling plate 200 flat, eliminating arching deformation. At this time, with the cooperation of each component, the straight cooling plate 200 maintains a stable position. The automated equipment automatically applies adhesive along the pre-pressed and flattened first adhesive-coating surface 210 along the preset first path. After the adhesive application is completed, the pressure blocks 430 are released, thus releasing the straight cooling plate 200. After removing the straight cooling plate 200, it is flipped over and the end cap is inserted into the groove of the third positioning block 321, while the non-end cap end is attached to the limiting surface of the fourth positioning block 322. The second adhesive-coating surface 220 faces upward, and the same operation is performed. After the straight cooling plate 200 is correctly installed, it is fixed and the surface is flattened, and the second path adhesive application is performed. The entire process avoids directional errors through physical error prevention, and the flatness is ensured by the flattening of the pressing component 400. The adhesive application process is stable, and the adhesive application trajectory is accurate.

[0055] Please see Figures 1 to 7 This utility model also proposes a glue application system, including a glue application fixture as described in any of the above embodiments, and an automated glue application device. The glue outlet axis of the automated glue application device is perpendicular to the glue application surface of the cooling plate 200 mounted on the glue application fixture. The glue outlet is configured to move relative to the glue application surface along a preset trajectory, and the vertical distance between the outlet and the glue application surface is kept constant during the movement. The reference value of the vertical distance is mechanically set by the fixture's shim block and dynamically maintained by the Z-axis servo system of the automated glue application device. The constant vertical distance ensures stable glue flow, reduces glue line width fluctuation, improves glue line shape consistency, optimizes the glue application trajectory, and ensures glue application accuracy. The mechanical setting of the shim block allows for compatibility with the Z-axis stroke of different glue application devices, enhancing the device's adaptability.

[0056] Specifically, the fixed fixture is connected to the equipment table via positioning components such as positioning pins. After the direct cooling plate 200 is installed in the fixed fixture, it is coated with adhesive by an automated adhesive applicator. After the direct cooling plate 200 is correctly installed, it remains stable under the action of the pressing component 400, the positioning component 300, and the lateral limiting component 500. The pressing component 400 presses against the surface of the direct cooling plate 200 to eliminate arching deformation. The automated adhesive applicator applies adhesive to each adhesive surface of the direct cooling plate 200 above it according to a preset path. The structure of the adhesive applicator is designed in synergy with the adhesive applicator and the preset adhesive path, coupling the fixture's error-proof positioning, deformation flattening, and height compensation functions with the equipment's motion control to ensure the accuracy of the adhesive application trajectory. A sensor can also be installed at the adhesive outlet to measure and provide feedback on the distance to the plane in real time, further improving control accuracy, ensuring a stable adhesive application process, good adhesive consistency, and thus improving the quality of battery assembly.

[0057] In summary, the adhesive application fixture and system of this invention, through the cooperation of the positioning component 300, the pressing component 400, and the lateral limiting component 500, form a three-dimensional constraint to ensure the stability of the direct cooling plate 200 installation; the positioning component 300 eliminates the risk of confusion in assembly direction through a foolproof design; the pressing component 400 flattens the deformed area of ​​the direct cooling plate 200 to ensure stable adhesive application; the structural design of the fixture, the automated adhesive application equipment, and the adhesive application path are coordinated to ensure the stability of the automated adhesive application process, ensure adhesive consistency, and effectively improve the assembly quality of the battery.
