[0027] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, a flange cutting and deburring integrated machine includes a feeding module 10, a cutting module 20, a deburring module 30, and an inspection and unloading module 40. The feeding module 10 is used to feed the steel-shell batteries to be cut and transfer them to the cutting module 20. The cutting module 20 is used to cut the steel-shell batteries and transfer the cut steel-shell batteries to the deburring module 30. The deburring module 30 is used to deburr and grind the cut steel-shell batteries and move the ground steel-shell batteries to the inspection and unloading module 40. The inspection and unloading module 40 is used to inspect the ground steel-shell batteries and unload the batteries that pass or fail the inspection separately. By setting up a feeding module 10, a cutting module 20, a deburring module 30, and an inspection and unloading module 40, integrated processing of steel-cased batteries can be achieved. By sequentially feeding the steel-cased batteries into the feeding module 10, cutting module 20, deburring module 30, and inspection and unloading module 40, the processes of feeding, cutting, deburring, and inspection and unloading of the steel-cased batteries can be realized, thereby improving the processing efficiency of steel-cased batteries and reducing processing costs.

[0028] The feeding module 10 includes a feeding conveyor belt and a feeding gripping device. The feeding gripping device is located at one end of the feeding conveyor belt near the cutting module 20. The feeding conveyor belt is used to move the steel-cased battery to be cut to the side near the cutting module 20, and the feeding gripping device is used to grip the steel-cased battery and place it on the cutting module 20. In this embodiment, the feeding conveyor belt drives the steel-cased battery to be cut to one end of the feeding gripping device, and then the feeding gripping device grips the steel-cased battery to be cut and feeds it to the cutting module 20, thereby realizing the automatic processing and feeding of the steel-cased battery.

[0029] The feeding and gripping device includes a gripping robot 11, which is equipped with a drive component 12, a gripping component 13, and a buffer component.

In this embodiment, when gripping steel-shell batteries, a buffer frame is set on the drive component 12, and the gripping component 13 is set on the buffer frame. The buffer slider 15 and the buffer guide rail cooperate to achieve contact buffering when gripping or unloading steel-shell batteries, thereby avoiding hard contact between the gripping robot 11 and the steel-shell batteries and improving the yield of steel-shell batteries.

[0030] A buffer guide rod 16 is provided on the buffer frame, and the buffer guide rod 16 is located above the assembly frame 17. The lower end of the buffer guide rod 16 is connected to the upper end of the assembly frame 17.

A jig guide rail and a jig drive 12 are provided on the jig machine base leading to the cutting station. A jig slider is slidably mounted on the jig guide rail, and the jig cover plate 22 is mounted on the jig slider. The jig drive 12 is connected to the jig cover plate 22 in a transmission manner. The jig drive 12 drives the jig cover plate 22 to move along the jig guide rail to approach or move away from the feeding jig 21. In this embodiment, cutting holes 23 are provided on the fixture plate to facilitate the external cutting platform to better identify the cutting range based on the cutting holes 23. At the same time, the inner wall of the cutting holes 23 is inclined and coated with a light gray ceramic layer and a Teflon layer to reduce interference with the vision camera when taking pictures, improve the determination of the weld points after the vision camera takes pictures, and improve the recognition accuracy of the vision camera. The fixture cover plate 22 is driven by the fixture drive 12 to move back and forth between the cutting station and the throwing station, which facilitates the placement and gripping of the steel shell battery, and at the same time facilitates the throwing operation of the flange edge cut from the steel shell battery.

[0033] The fixture cover 22 includes a first cover and a second cover. The first cover is located above the second cover. A clamping member is provided on the first cover, which moves the first cover toward the second cover. A cutting hole 23 is located in the middle of the second cover. A clamping member is provided on the second cover, which is located around the cutting hole 23. The clamping member includes a clamping cylinder and a clamping block. The clamping cylinder lifts or lowers the clamping block to clamp or place the flange edge of the steel-shell battery. In this embodiment, when it is necessary to clamp the steel-shell battery, the clamping member moves the first cover toward the feeding fixture 21, which in turn moves the second cover toward the feeding fixture 21. The fixture cover 22 clamps the steel-shell battery, facilitating subsequent flange edge cutting.

[0034] The deburring module 30 includes a deburring base 31, a deburring bracket 32, a first deburring motor, a second deburring motor 33, and a deburring roller 34. A deburring guide rail is provided on the deburring base 31, and the deburring bracket 32 ​​is movably mounted on the deburring guide rail. The first deburring motor is mounted on the deburring base 31 and is driven by the deburring bracket 32, pushing the deburring bracket 32 ​​to move along the deburring guide rail. The second deburring motor 33 and the deburring roller 34 are mounted on the deburring bracket 32, and the second deburring motor 33 is driven by the deburring roller 34. In this embodiment, the first deburring motor drives the deburring base 31 to move along the deburring guide rail, thereby adjusting the distance between the deburring roller 34 and the steel-cased battery located on the conveyor belt, thus facilitating the grinding of steel-cased batteries of different specifications.

[0035] The inspection unloading module 40 includes an inspection carrier, which comprises a base 41, a light-emitting element 42, and a support plate 43. An upward-facing mounting groove is formed on the base 41, and the light-emitting element 42 is located within the mounting groove. The support plate 43 and the mounting groove are closed to form an installation space. A vacuum port is provided on one side of the base 41, communicating with the installation space. A suction cup port 44 is provided on the support plate 43, communicating with the installation space. In this embodiment, the mounting groove on the base 41 facilitates the installation of the light-emitting element 42. The support plate 43 and the mounting groove are closed to form a relatively sealed installation space within the base 41. A vacuum is applied to the installation space through the vacuum port, increasing the negative pressure at the suction cup port 44 on the support plate 43 to adsorb the steel-cased battery. This also avoids the interference of wires and pipes within the installation space with the light-emitting element 42, improving the imaging effect of the inspection camera.

[0036] The light-emitting element 42 is located directly below the support plate 43. A gap exists between the light-emitting element 42 and the support plate 43 to form a vacuum channel 45. The support plate 43 has an assembly hole, and a suction cup component is installed in the assembly hole to form a suction cup opening 44. The suction cup component includes a suction tube and a suction head. The suction head is installed at the upper end of the suction tube and is installed on the upper surface of the support plate 43 through the assembly hole. The suction tube is located in the vacuum channel 45 through the assembly hole. In this embodiment, the vacuum channel 45 connects the vacuum port and the suction cup opening 44, thereby creating a negative pressure to facilitate the adsorption of the steel-cased battery. The support plate 43 has an assembly hole, and the suction cup component is connected to the assembly hole to form the suction cup opening 44, which facilitates the quick assembly connection between the suction cup component and the assembly hole. The suction tube is connected to the suction head, and the suction tube connects to the vacuum channel 45, thereby achieving communication with the suction head.
