Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrode packaging technology, specifically to an automatic packaging device for solid electrodes. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, battery tabs are packaged with alternating front and back sides (e.g.) Figure 1 As shown), this is to save packaging space. However, after the tabs are produced by the linear motion machine, they are stacked in one direction. As the quantity increases, the overall shape will become fan-shaped (as shown). Figure 2 As shown, too many tabs cannot be stacked at once, requiring manual staggered stacking. After a certain number are staggered, the tabs are manually placed into the material box. Manually stacking the tabs alternately (one facing forward, one facing backward) consumes a lot of time, resulting in very low tab collection efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide an automatic packaging device for solid electrode tabs, which transforms the manual stacking of electrode tabs into automated machine stacking, thereby improving production efficiency, reducing labor costs, and transforming the stacking of individual electrode tabs into batch stacking, thus increasing production capacity.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: An automated packaging device for solid electrode tabs includes a picking box, a camera, a rotating platform, a limiting platform, and a receiving box arranged sequentially. The picking box, camera, and rotating platform are connected by a picking robot to move the electrode tabs, and the rotating platform, limiting platform, and receiving box are connected by a receiving robot to move the electrode tabs. The electrode tabs can be placed into the picking box in any direction. The picking robot includes a vacuum nozzle fixing base that can move laterally and vertically. Multiple rotating vacuum nozzles are arranged in an array below the vacuum nozzle fixing base. The receiving robot includes a pneumatic finger cylinder that can move in three dimensions. The two output ends of the pneumatic finger cylinder are symmetrically connected to grippers for picking up the electrode tabs.

[0005] Preferably, the rotary vacuum nozzle is provided in two rows, with multiple nozzles in each row.

[0006] Preferably, the rotary vacuum nozzle is driven to rotate by a rotary cylinder, and the rotary vacuum nozzle corresponds one-to-one with the rotary cylinder.

[0007] Preferably, both the camera and the rotary cylinder are electrically connected to the PLC.

[0008] Preferably, the rotating platform includes a platform column, a rotary cylinder, an electrode placement platform, and an electrode placement seat. The electrode placement platform is driven to rotate by the rotary cylinder, which is fixed on the platform column. Multiple electrode placement seats are arrayed on the electrode placement platform, and each electrode placement seat corresponds to a rotating vacuum nozzle.

[0009] Preferably, each electrode holder has a baffle at each of the four corners corresponding to the electrode to prevent the electrode from being thrown out when the rotating platform rotates.

[0010] Preferably, the limiting platform includes a fixed base, an open clamp cylinder, an electrode tab placement block, and a limiting block. The fixed base is fixed on the mounting plate, the open clamp cylinder is fixed on the top of the fixed base, and an electrode tab placement block for placing the electrode tab is fixed on the cylinder body of the open clamp cylinder. The two output ends of the open clamp cylinder are symmetrically connected to the limiting blocks for limiting the electrode tab.

[0011] Preferably, the gripper limits one pair of sides of the electrode tab after alternating forward and reverse directions, and the limiting block limits the other pair of sides of the electrode tab.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: It replaces manual staggered stacking, reduces labor costs, and allows for batch staggered stacking of tabs, facilitating subsequent packaging and thus improving production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

The rotating vacuum nozzle 6.2 is used to adsorb the electrode tabs 8.

[0022] The vacuum nozzle mounting base 6.1 is fixed on the first vertical linear module 6.4. The first vertical linear module 6.4 is connected to the second horizontal linear module 6.5. The second horizontal linear module 6.5 is supported on the mounting plate 9 by the first column 6.6.

[0023] The rotary vacuum nozzle 6.2 has two rows, with multiple nozzles in each row, such as... Figure 4 The 6.2 rotary vacuum nozzle has two rows, with four nozzles in each row, which can simultaneously adsorb eight tabs.

[0024] The rotating platform 3 includes a platform column 3.1, a rotary cylinder 3.2, an electrode tab placement platform 3.3, and electrode tab placement seats 3.4. The electrode tab placement platform 3.3 is driven to rotate by the rotary cylinder 3.2, which is fixed to the platform column 3.1. Multiple electrode tab placement seats 3.4 are arrayed on the electrode tab placement platform 3.3, and each electrode tab placement seat 3.4 corresponds one-to-one with a rotating vacuum nozzle 6.2. Each electrode tab placement seat 3.4 has a baffle 3.4.1 at each of its four corners corresponding to an electrode tab to prevent the electrode tab from being thrown out when the rotating platform 3 rotates.

[0025] The limiting platform 4 includes a fixed base 4.1, an open clamp cylinder 4.2, an electrode tab placement block 4.3, and a limiting block 4.4. The fixed base 4.1 is fixed on the mounting plate 9, and the open clamp cylinder 4.2 is fixed on the top of the fixed base 4.1.

[0028] Working principle: First, the worker places the electrode tabs in the material picking box 1 in any direction. The picking robot 6 moves above the material picking box 1 to pick up two rows of eight electrode tabs 8 and moves them above the camera 2. The camera 2 takes pictures of the electrode tabs and sends the pictures to the PLC. The PLC analyzes the orientation of the eight electrode tabs and sends a signal to the solenoid valve of the rotary cylinder 6.3 corresponding to the electrode tab that needs to change orientation, according to the rule of symmetry of the orientation of the two rows of electrode tabs. The PLC controls the rotary cylinder 6.3 to work so that the rotary vacuum nozzle 6.2 changes orientation. The picking robot 6 continues to move to the rotating platform 3, places the first row of electrode tabs on the corresponding electrode tab placement seat 3.4, and continues to move forward a distance to place the second row of electrode tabs directly above the first row of electrode tabs, so that the electrode tabs are in an alternating stacked state. The picking robot 6 repeats this set of actions. When 30 electrode tabs are stacked on the electrode tab placement seat, the PLC controls the rotary cylinder 3.2 to work, rotating the stacked electrode tabs 180° to facilitate the placement of another row of electrode tabs on the electrode tab placement seat 3.4. The receiving robot 7 moves above the rotating platform 3. The PLC controls the pneumatic finger cylinder 7.1 to work, the gripper grabs the electrode tab and limits one pair of sides of the electrode tab. The receiving robot 7 transports the electrode tab to the limiting platform 4 and places the electrode tab on the electrode tab placement block 4.3. The PLC controls the opening clamp cylinder 4.2 to work, and the limiting block 4.4 limits the other pair of sides of the electrode tab. The receiving robot 7 continues to transport the electrode tab and places the electrode tab in the receiving box 5.
