Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic manufacturing equipment technology, and in particular to a battery string feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the new energy industry, battery strings, as core components of new energy vehicles and energy storage devices, directly impact the production efficiency of the entire industry chain through their production and testing efficiency. In the production process of battery strings, the material preparation stage is one of the key processes, and its efficiency and quality have a significant impact on subsequent processes.

[0003] Currently, battery string unloading devices typically include basic components such as a conveying mechanism, a detection mechanism, and a storage mechanism. For example, CN111689223A discloses a battery voltage registration device, which includes a pallet loading and conveying mechanism, a single pallet handling mechanism, a battery transfer mechanism, a detection mechanism, a main control mechanism, a battery discharge conveying mechanism, and an empty pallet unloading and conveying mechanism. Through the rationally designed loading, handling, detection, and discharge mechanisms, batch detection of batteries is achieved.

[0004] However, existing battery string unloading devices still have some problems: First, when a battery string cannot continue to flow, the traditional battery string unloading device can only stop or discard excess qualified battery strings, resulting in resource waste; second, traditional devices usually have qualified product areas and waste product areas at the same time, which occupy a large space, resulting in a longer conveying distance and a longer battery string handling time, thus reducing unloading efficiency; in addition, directly stacking battery strings during storage will damage the surface of the battery strings and affect product quality.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a feeding device that can efficiently process battery string feeding, make reasonable use of space, and protect the surface quality of battery strings, so as to improve production efficiency and reduce resource waste. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a battery string unloading device to solve the problems of the prior art where the machine can only be stopped or excess qualified battery strings are discarded when the battery strings cannot continue to flow, resulting in waste. At the same time, the traditional device has a large space occupied by setting up qualified product area and waste product area at the same time, which increases the conveying distance and the time occupied by battery string handling, thus reducing the unloading efficiency. In addition, the direct stacking of battery strings may damage the surface of the battery strings.

[0007] To achieve the above and other related objectives, this utility model provides a battery string feeding device, including a frame, on which are provided: A conveying mechanism is provided above the conveying mechanism for conveying battery strings. The flipping mechanism is used to attract the battery strings on the conveying mechanism and flip them 180°. The testing mechanism is located between the conveying mechanism and the storage mechanism. A storage mechanism for storing battery strings that have passed inspection; The waste disposal mechanism is located below the storage mechanism. The waste disposal mechanism includes a waste tray and a first lateral moving component. Driven by the first lateral moving component, the waste tray can extend to the detection mechanism to catch the waste. After catching the waste, the waste tray retracts below the storage mechanism under the drive of the first lateral moving component. A transport mechanism is used to adsorb the battery strings on the flipping mechanism and transport them to a testing mechanism, a storage mechanism, or a waste disposal mechanism.

[0008] In one embodiment of this utility model, both the conveying mechanism and the storage mechanism are belt conveyors.

[0009] In one embodiment of the present invention, the feeding end of the conveying mechanism is provided with a shearing mechanism. The shearing mechanism includes a shearing bracket, a cutter, a guide rail, and a cutter cylinder. The guide rail is vertically arranged on the shearing bracket, and the cutter is slidably connected to the guide rail and moves up and down under the drive of the cutter cylinder.

[0010] In one embodiment of the present invention, the flipping mechanism includes a fixed frame, a first suction nozzle bracket, a suction nozzle, a first lifting and moving component, and a rotary cylinder. The fixed frame is mounted on the frame via the first lifting and moving component. The first suction nozzle bracket is rotatably disposed between two fixed frames. A rotary cylinder for driving the suction nozzle bracket to rotate 180° is provided on one side of the first suction nozzle bracket. A plurality of suction nozzles for adsorbing battery strings are fixed at intervals on the first suction nozzle bracket.

[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, the detection mechanism includes a detection bracket, a probe, and an EL detection camera, wherein the probe is mounted on the detection bracket; when the probe comes into contact with the battery string, the EL detection camera is activated to perform detection.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, the frame has a mounting slot located below the detection bracket, and the EL detection camera is installed in the mounting slot.

[0013] In one embodiment of the present invention, a paper rack for placing release paper is provided on one side of the storage mechanism, and the conveying mechanism adsorbs the release paper on the paper rack and onto the storage mechanism.

[0014] In one embodiment of the present invention, the conveying mechanism includes a second lateral moving component, a slide, a second lifting moving component, and a second suction nozzle bracket. The second lateral moving component is mounted above the frame. The slide is slidably connected to the second lateral moving component. The second suction nozzle bracket is connected to the slide through the second lifting moving component. The second suction nozzle bracket moves up and down under the drive of the second lifting moving component. A plurality of suction nozzles for adsorbing battery strings are fixed at intervals on the second suction nozzle bracket.

[0015] As described above, the battery string feeding device of this utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. By setting a waste material handling mechanism below the storage mechanism, and enabling the waste material tray to extend under the drive of the first lateral moving component to catch the waste material and then retract, the waste material can be temporarily stored on the waste material handling mechanism without affecting the operation of the entire device, thus effectively improving work efficiency.

[0016] 2. Since the waste disposal mechanism is located below the storage mechanism, the waste can be stored below the storage mechanism without taking up extra space, making the whole device more concise.

[0017] 3. By setting up a paper rack on one side of the storage mechanism and using a conveying mechanism to pick up the isolation paper on the paper rack and transfer it to the storage mechanism, a stacked structure of one layer of battery string and one layer of isolation paper can be formed, which can effectively avoid damage to the surface of the battery string.

[0024] The following specific embodiments 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. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a battery string unloading device, including a frame 1, on which a conveying mechanism 3, a flipping mechanism 4, a detection mechanism 5, a storage mechanism 6, a waste material mechanism 7, and a handling mechanism 8 are provided.

[0026] The conveying mechanism 3 is used to transport battery strings, and it employs a belt conveyor. The feeding end of the conveying mechanism 3 is equipped with a shearing mechanism 2, which includes a shearing bracket, a cutter, a guide rail, and a cutter cylinder. The guide rail is vertically mounted on the shearing bracket, and the cutter is slidably connected to the guide rail and moves up and down under the drive of the cutter cylinder. When the battery string needs to be sheared, the cutter cylinder drives the cutter to move downwards along the guide rail to shear the battery string. After shearing, the cutter cylinder drives the cutter to rise and reset.

[0027] A flipping mechanism 4 is positioned above the conveying mechanism 3 to adsorb and flip the battery strings on the conveying mechanism 3 by 180°. The flipping mechanism 4 includes a fixed frame 41, a first suction nozzle support 42, suction nozzles 43, a first lifting and moving assembly 44, and a rotary cylinder 45. The fixed frame 41 is mounted on the frame 1 via the first lifting and moving assembly 44. The first suction nozzle support 42 is rotatably positioned between two fixed frames 41. A rotary cylinder 45 is provided on one side of the first suction nozzle support 42 to drive the suction nozzle support 43 to rotate 180°. Several suction nozzles 43 for adsorbing battery strings are fixed at intervals on the first suction nozzle support 42. When it is necessary to flip the battery strings, the first lifting and moving assembly 44 drives the fixed frame 41 to descend, causing the suction nozzles 43 to contact the battery strings on the conveying mechanism 3. After the suction nozzles 43 adsorb the battery strings, the first lifting and moving assembly 44 drives the fixed frame 41 to rise, and then the rotary cylinder 45 drives the first suction nozzle support 42 to rotate 180°, completing the flipping of the battery strings.

[0028] The inspection mechanism 5 is located between the conveying mechanism 3 and the storage mechanism 6, and is used to inspect the quality of the battery strings. The inspection mechanism 5 includes an inspection bracket 51, a probe 52, and an EL inspection camera. The probe 52 is mounted on the inspection bracket 51. When the probe 52 contacts the battery string, the EL inspection camera is activated for inspection. The frame 1 has a mounting slot 11 located below the inspection bracket 51, and the EL inspection camera is mounted in the mounting slot 11. The EL inspection camera analyzes whether there are defects in the battery strings by capturing the electroluminescent images emitted by the battery strings when they are powered on.

[0029] Storage mechanism 6 is used to store qualified battery strings and adopts a belt conveyor mechanism. One side of storage mechanism 6 is provided with a paper rack 61 for placing isolation paper. The conveying mechanism 8 can pick up the isolation paper on the paper rack 61 and put it onto storage mechanism 6 so that isolation paper can be placed between battery strings when storing battery strings to prevent the battery strings from rubbing against each other and causing damage.

[0030] The waste collection mechanism 7 is located below the storage mechanism 6 and is used to collect defective battery strings. The waste collection mechanism 7 includes a waste tray 71 and a first lateral movement component 72. Driven by the first lateral movement component 72, the waste tray 71 extends to the detection mechanism 5 to catch the waste. After catching the waste, the waste tray 71 retracts below the storage mechanism 6 under the same drive. When the detection mechanism 5 detects a defective battery string, the first lateral movement component 72 drives the waste tray 71 to extend below the detection mechanism 5 to receive the defective battery string, and then the first lateral movement component 72 drives the waste tray 71 back to its initial position below the storage mechanism 6.

[0031] The conveying mechanism 8 is used to adsorb the battery strings on the flipping mechanism 4 and convey them to the detection mechanism 5, storage mechanism 6, or waste disposal mechanism 7. The conveying mechanism 8 includes a second lateral moving component 81, a slide 82, a second lifting moving component 83, and a second suction nozzle bracket 84. The second lateral moving component 81 is mounted above the frame 1. The slide 82 is slidably connected to the second lateral moving component 81. The second suction nozzle bracket 84 is connected to the slide 82 through the second lifting moving component 83. The second suction nozzle bracket 84 moves up and down under the drive of the second lifting moving component 83. Several suction nozzles 43 for adsorbing battery strings are fixed at intervals on the second suction nozzle bracket 84. When the conveying mechanism 8 is working, the second lateral moving component 81 drives the slide 82 to move above the flipping mechanism 4, and the second lifting moving component 83 drives the second suction nozzle bracket 84 to descend, so that the suction nozzle 43 contacts the battery string on the flipping mechanism 4. After the suction nozzle 43 adsorbs the battery string, the second lifting moving component 83 drives the second suction nozzle bracket 84 to rise. Then, the second lateral moving component 81 drives the slide 82 to move above the detection mechanism 5, and the second lifting moving component 83 drives the second suction nozzle bracket 84 to descend, placing the battery string on the detection mechanism 5 for detection. After the detection is completed, if the battery string is qualified, the conveying mechanism 8 transports the battery string to the storage mechanism 6; if the battery string is unqualified, the conveying mechanism 8 transports the battery string to the waste disposal mechanism 7.

[0032] The battery string unloading device operates as follows: battery strings are conveyed to a tilting mechanism, which then flips the strings 180°. A transport mechanism then picks up the battery strings from the tilting mechanism and transports them to a testing mechanism for inspection. Qualified battery strings are transported to a storage mechanism, while unqualified strings are transported to a waste disposal mechanism. During storage, the transport mechanism can also pick up release paper from a paper holder and place it between the battery strings. This device achieves automatic unloading, tilting, inspection, and sorting of battery strings, improving production efficiency and reducing labor costs.

[0033] In summary, this invention automates the feeding, flipping, inspection, and sorting of battery strings, improving production efficiency, reducing labor costs, and ensuring product quality. Therefore, this invention effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of existing technologies and has high industrial application value.
