Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glue application equipment technology, and in particular to a positioning platform and glue application equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In battery manufacturing and electronic assembly, applying adhesive to products such as battery modules is a common process step. Its purpose is to achieve sealing, fixation, or reinforcement of structural strength. This process typically requires precisely fixing products (such as battery modules) in specific locations and ensuring the consistency of the adhesive path during application, which is crucial for the final performance and reliability of the product.

[0003] Currently, the common operating method involves operators manually moving products to the positioning fixture of the glue application equipment, which then clamps them using simple jigs. However, during manual loading, it is difficult for operators to accurately place the carrier in the glue application position every time, affecting glue application efficiency. Furthermore, due to the simple structure of the jigs used, their clamping force is limited and unevenly distributed, making it difficult to effectively suppress minor displacements or vibrations of the product or tray during the operation of the glue application equipment. This results in errors between the product and the glue application structure, which can easily affect the glue application quality. This not only affects the appearance of the product but also severely weakens the sealing effect and structural connection strength, ultimately leading to a decrease in product yield.

[0004] Therefore, the above problems urgently need to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0043] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0044] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between 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.

[0045] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0046] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0047] This embodiment proposes a glue-applying device, which includes a glue-applying structure and a positioning platform. The glue-applying structure is positioned above the working position on the positioning platform. The positioning platform ensures precise positioning of the carrier and the product, thereby improving the glue-applying quality. The glue-applying structure can be selected according to the type of product, and no specific limitations are imposed here.

[0048] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The positioning platform includes a platform 1, two limiting mechanisms 2, and a stop mechanism 3. The platform 1 has a working position and is used to receive a carrier 100 carrying a product 200. The two limiting mechanisms 2 are spaced apart on the platform 1 along a first direction and form a receiving channel that abuts against the side wall opposite to the carrier 100, so that the carrier 100 can move to the working position along a second direction in a preset posture. The stop mechanism 3 is located at the end of the limiting mechanism 2 and is configured to stop the carrier 100.

[0049] Understandably, when placing the carrier 100, the carrier 100 carrying the product 200 is pushed from the beginning of the receiving channel to the end of the receiving channel. During this process, the two limiting mechanisms 2 can limit the sides of the carrier 100. When the carrier 100 moves to the end of the receiving channel, it is limited by the stop mechanism 3. Under the combined action of the two limiting mechanisms 2 and the stop mechanism 3, the carrier 100 can be accurately positioned.

[0050] Preferably, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. That is, when the carrier 100 is on the platform 1 and is directly opposite the receiving channel, only a force along the second direction needs to be applied to the pallet to complete the precise positioning of the pallet. Therefore, during the loading process, a robotic arm or forklift or other linear transport structure can be used to replace manual loading, thereby improving the glue application efficiency.

[0051] During transportation, to prevent the product 200 from falling off, the carrier 100 carrying the product 200 is equipped with blocks 110. The blocks 110 are located around the product 200. To prevent the product 200 from being squeezed by the blocks 110 when it is placed on the carrier, there is often a gap between the blocks 110 and the product 200. However, the setting of this gap will cause an error between the product 200 and the glued structure.

[0052] Therefore, the positioning platform proposed in this embodiment also includes a clamping mechanism 4. The clamping mechanism 4 is disposed above the limiting mechanism 2 and is configured to clamp the product 200 on the carrier 100 after the carrier 100 is in the working position. It can be understood that when the carrier 100 is in the working position, the clamping mechanism 4 can clamp the product 200, thereby ensuring that the product 200 is subjected to a uniform and symmetrical clamping force during the glue application process, ensuring the stability of the product 200 during the glue application process, and thus improving the glue application quality.

[0053] For example, the product 200 in this embodiment is described using a battery module as an example. Correspondingly, the carrier 100 is a pallet in the prior art, and the handling structure is a forklift in the prior art. The forklift's forks can be inserted into the holes at the bottom of the pallet. Then, under the action of the forklift, the pallet can be lifted to a height position relative to the receiving channel, and the pallet is pushed in the direction close to the stop mechanism 3. When the pallet abuts against the stop mechanism 3, the forklift retracts its forks. The unloading process can also be completed using a forklift, which is the opposite of the loading process, and will not be described in detail here.

[0054] In addition, please see Figure 3 Each limiting mechanism 2 includes a limiting plate 21 and a plurality of rollers 22 evenly distributed along a second direction on the limiting plate 21. Each roller 22 is rotatably connected to the limiting plate 21 and can abut against the side wall of the carrier 100. It can be understood that the axis of the roller 22 is arranged in the vertical direction, and the outer peripheral surface of the roller 22 can abut against the side wall of the carrier 100, so that after the carrier 100 enters the first end of the receiving channel, the static friction between the carrier 100 and the limiting plate 21 is converted into dynamic friction between the carrier 100 and the roller 22.

[0055] Furthermore, any limiting mechanism 2 also includes a guide plate 25 and a plurality of guide wheels 26 arranged on the guide plate 25. The guide plate 25 is disposed at the end of the limiting plate 21, and the two guide plates 25 can form a guide channel. The guide channel is located at the beginning of the receiving channel, thereby guiding the carrier 100 into the interior of the receiving channel. The arrangement of the guide wheels 26 can convert the static friction between the carrier 100 and the guide plate 25 into dynamic friction between the carrier 100 and the guide wheels 26.

[0056] Furthermore, each limiting mechanism 2 also includes a base plate 23 and a plurality of idlers 24 evenly distributed along the second direction on the base plate 23, each idler 24 being rotatably mounted on the base plate 23; all the idlers 24 in the two limiting mechanisms 2 can constitute a support for carrying the carrier 100. It is understood that the axis of the idlers 24 is arranged along the first direction, and when the transport structure places the carrier 100, it can place the carrier 100 on the support, that is, when the transport structure places the carrier 100, both ends of the carrier 100 can simultaneously overlap the idlers 24 on both sides. With this arrangement, the static friction between the carrier 100 and the platform 1 can be converted into dynamic friction between the carrier 100 and the idlers 24.

[0057] Based on the above, the frictional resistance of the carrier 100 during operation can be reduced by the action of the roller 22, guide wheel 26 and idler roller 24, thereby ensuring the stability of the carrier 100 during transportation and improving the positioning accuracy of the carrier 100.

[0058] When the carrier 100 is pushed to the position where it abuts against the stop mechanism 3, there is a reaction force between the stop mechanism 3 and the carrier 100, or due to the friction between the transport structure and the pallet when the transport structure is disengaged, a gap exists between the pallet and the stop mechanism 3, which in turn causes a deviation in the position of the pallet and the product 200.

[0059] Therefore, in this embodiment, a secondary positioning mechanism 7 is also provided between the carrier 100 and the corresponding limiting mechanism 2. The secondary positioning mechanism 7 is configured to perform secondary positioning on the carrier 100 after it is in the working position. It can be understood that when the carrier 100 is pushed to the working position, the secondary positioning mechanism 7 starts to work, thereby enabling secondary positioning of the carrier 100 to eliminate the gap between the carrier 100 and the stop mechanism 3, and further improve the positioning accuracy of the carrier 100.

[0060] Specifically, the pallet is provided with pin holes. The secondary positioning mechanism 7 includes a positioning cylinder 71 and a pin 72 mounted on the positioning cylinder 71. The end of the pin 72 is tapered. The positioning cylinder 71 is configured to drive the pin 72 to insert into the corresponding pin hole. It can be understood that when the carrier 100 is pushed to the working position, the positioning cylinder 71 drives the pin 72 to approach the pallet and insert into the corresponding pin hole. During the insertion process, the tapered end of the pin 72 acts as a guide surface, abutting against the inner wall of the pin hole, thereby enabling fine-tuning of the pallet's position and improving the positioning accuracy of the carrier 100.

[0061] In this embodiment, the stop mechanism 3 includes a vertical plate 31 and a baffle 32 disposed on the vertical plate 31. The baffle 32 is vertically disposed on the platform 1. When the carrier 100 carrying the product 200 moves in the receiving channel, when the carrier 100 abuts against the vertical plate 31 and / or the product 200 abuts against the baffle 32, it proves that the carrier 100 has moved to the working position.

[0062] In addition, multiple ribs are provided between the platform 1 and the vertical plate 31 to improve the connection strength between the vertical plate 31 and the platform 1, thereby avoiding excessive force exerted by the transport structure on the carrier 100, which could cause the position of the vertical plate 31 to deviate, and thus avoid positioning errors in the carrier 100.

[0063] In this embodiment, the positioning platform further includes a linear drive mechanism 6, which is connected to two limiting mechanisms 2 and configured to adjust the distance between the two limiting mechanisms 2. It is understood that different models of products 200 correspond to different sizes of carriers 100. By adjusting the distance between the two limiting mechanisms 2, the width of the material receiving channel can be appropriately adjusted to position carriers 100 of different sizes, thereby improving the applicability of the positioning platform.

[0064] Specifically, the linear drive mechanism 6 includes four linear cylinders 61. Two linear cylinders 61 form a drive assembly. The two drive assemblies are respectively connected to two limiting mechanisms 2 to ensure the stability of the limiting mechanisms 2 during movement. Under the action of the two drive assemblies, the width of the material channel can be adjusted to adapt to carriers 100 of different sizes.

[0065] Correspondingly, when positioning vehicles 100 of different sizes, the position of the secondary positioning mechanism 7 needs to be adjusted according to the size of the vehicle 100.

[0066] In addition, please see Figure 4 The positioning platform also includes a centrally located support mechanism 5, which is arranged along the second direction on the platform 1 and is located in the middle of the working position; two limiting mechanisms 2 are symmetrically arranged about the centrally located support mechanism 5. It can be understood that the centrally located support mechanism 5 divides the working position into two symmetrical parts, and the two limiting mechanisms 2 are symmetrically arranged about the centrally located support mechanism 5, thereby further ensuring that the carrier 100 is in the working position. Furthermore, the centrally located support mechanism 5, together with the side rollers 24, supports the carrier 100, thus ensuring the stability of the carrier 100 during transportation.

[0067] Specifically, the central bearing mechanism 5 includes a bearing frame 51 and a plurality of bearing rollers 52 arranged along the second direction on the bearing frame 51. Any bearing roller 52 is rotatably disposed on the bearing frame 51, thereby enabling the static friction between the carrier 100 and the bearing frame 51 to be converted into dynamic friction between the carrier 100 and the bearing roller 52.

[0068] In this embodiment, the clamping mechanism 4 includes multiple clamping elements 41 and a control system. The multiple clamping elements 41 are distributed on two limiting mechanisms 2. The control system is electrically connected to all clamping elements 41 and is configured to control all clamping elements 41 to simultaneously abut against different side walls of the product 200. It can be understood that after the carrier 100 is positioned, under the action of the control system, multiple clamping elements 41 can be controlled to simultaneously abut against the product 200, thereby enabling the product 200 to receive uniform and symmetrical clamping force during the glue application process, ensuring the stability of the product 200 during the glue application process, and thus improving the glue application quality.

[0069] The control system includes a sensor 42 and a PLC controller. The sensor 42 is installed on the stop mechanism 3. When the product 200 is in position, the sensor 42 can send a signal to the PLC controller. After receiving the signal, the PLC controller can simultaneously control the clamping member 41 to abut against different side walls of the product 200 to further ensure the positioning accuracy of the product 200.

[0070] Sensor 42 can be a displacement sensor, which can detect the distance between product 200 and the displacement sensor. Sensor 42 is set with a threshold. When the distance between product 200 and displacement sensor reaches the threshold, it proves that product 200 and / or carrier 100 are in contact with stop mechanism 3. That is, when the distance between product 200 and displacement sensor reaches the threshold, it proves that carrier 100 is in the working position.

[0071] Furthermore, the number of clamping members 41 is preferably two, and the two clamping members 41 are located on opposite sides of the product 200, with either clamping member 41 able to simultaneously abut against adjacent side walls of the product 200. This arrangement allows one clamping member 41 to push against the product 200 from two directions, thereby enabling the product 200 to be clamped by the action of the two clamping members 41.

[0072] Please see Figure 5 Each clamping member 41 includes a clamping cylinder 411 and a clamping portion 412 disposed at the end of the piston rod of the clamping cylinder 411; the length direction of the piston rod is consistent with the diagonal of the corresponding product 200; the clamping portion 412 has a notch 4121, which can fit against the adjacent side walls of the product 200. It can be understood that under the action of the clamping cylinder 411, the clamping portion 412 can be driven to move along the diagonal of the product 200. During the movement of the clamping portion 412, the notch 4121 can abut against the side walls of the product 200, and the product 200 can be centered and clamped under the action of the two clamping portions 412.

[0073] Taking a battery module as an example, the casing of a battery module is mostly a cuboid. Correspondingly, the angle of the notch 4121 is a right angle. Under the action of two clamping cylinders 411, the two notches 4121 can fit against the two opposite corners of the casing, thereby completing the centering clamping.

[0074] It should be noted that the clamping cylinder 411 is mounted on the corresponding limiting mechanism 2 via a detachable structure such as bolts, so that the angle of the clamping cylinder 411 can be adjusted according to the needs of different products 200, so that the piston rod can be aligned with the diagonal of the corresponding product 200.

[0075] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
