Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of appearance inspection devices, and in particular to an automatic feeding appearance inspection device. Background Technology

[0002] In the lithium battery production process, the appearance inspection of the battery cells is a crucial step in ensuring product quality. Traditional appearance inspection equipment typically uses a fixed photographing station. The battery cells are transported to the inspection position via conveyor belt or manually, and a CCD camera photographs a specific side of the battery cell.

[0003] Traditional inspection methods typically involve single-station, single-sided inspection: after the battery cell is transported to a fixed photographing position, only a single surface (such as the top or a side) can be photographed. If the other side (such as the bottom) needs to be inspected, manual intervention or an additional flipping mechanism is required, which prolongs the inspection cycle and reduces production efficiency. Manually flipping, reversing, or rejecting defective cells not only increases labor costs but may also introduce secondary contamination or collision risks due to operator fatigue. Utility Model Content

[0046] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0047] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-7 An automatic material feeding and appearance inspection device is shown, comprising: a workbench equipped with a conveyor belt for carrying battery cells; a CCD camera 1 mounted on the workbench for photographing and inspecting the appearance of the material; a mobile feeding device 2 mounted on the workbench for picking up and transferring the material; and a position adjustment device 3 mounted on the workbench for adjusting the position of the material.

[0048] Example 1

[0049] The mobile feeding device 2 includes: a first linear module 21, on which a support is mounted on a worktable; a second linear module 22, connected to the moving end of the first linear module 21, with the moving directions of the second linear module 22 perpendicular to those of the first linear module 21; and a clamping mechanism 23, where the moving end of the second linear module 22 is connected to a support, and multiple clamping mechanisms 23 are connected to the bottom of the support. Through the coordinated operation of the two clamping mechanisms 23, and with a synchronizer between the two first gripper cylinders 2332, it is possible to simultaneously clamp a battery cell using the two clamping mechanisms 23, making the clamping of the battery cell more stable. The cooperation between the first linear module 21 and the second linear module 22 facilitates the two-dimensional displacement of the battery cell after clamping, making loading and unloading easier. When the clamping mechanism 23 clamps the battery cell and moves it horizontally, the CCD camera 1 below it can take pictures of the bottom surface of the battery cell for inspection. The position adjustment device 3 makes it easy to flip the battery cell 180 degrees, so that the two CCD cameras 1 can automatically take pictures of both large surfaces of the battery cell for inspection without the need for additional inspection stations or manual intervention, greatly shortening the inspection cycle. The bottom surface is photographed during the battery cell transfer process, and the top surface is photographed again after flipping. Compared with traditional single-station inspection, the efficiency is improved.

[0050] The clamping mechanism 23 includes: a first mounting frame 231, which is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the support; a linear sliding guide assembly 232, which is mounted on the first mounting frame 231; a material clamping assembly 233, which is connected to the linear sliding guide assembly 232, and the linear sliding guide assembly 232 is used to guide the movement of the material clamping assembly 233, which is used to clamp the material; and an elastic buffer assembly 234, which is connected between the first mounting frame 231 and the material clamping assembly 233.

[0051] Specifically, the linear sliding guide assembly 232 includes: a guide rail 2321, which is fixedly connected to the first mounting frame 231; a slider 2322, which cooperates with the guide rail 2321; and a baffle 2323, which is fixedly installed at the end of the guide rail 2321. The baffle 2323 is used to limit the sliding of the slider 2322. The guide rail 2321 facilitates the linear sliding of the slider 2322, making the lifting movement of the second mounting frame 2331 relative to the first mounting frame 231 more stable. The baffle 2323 facilitates the position limitation of the slider 2322 to limit the lower limit of the slider 2322. With the support of the elastic buffer assembly 234, the slider 2322 can fit against the baffle 2323 to maintain a stable state under normal conditions. The material clamping assembly 233 includes: a second mounting frame 2331, which is connected to the slider 2322; and a first gripper cylinder 2332, which is mounted on the bottom of the second mounting frame 2331. The second mounting frame 2331 provides installation space for the first gripper cylinder 2332, and the operation of the first gripper cylinder 2332 facilitates the clamping of the battery cell. The elastic buffer assembly 234 includes: a guide rod 2341, one end of which is fixedly connected to the second mounting bracket 2331, and the guide rod 2341 is slidably engaged with the first mounting bracket 231; and a spring 2342, which is movably sleeved outside the guide rod 2341 and is slidably inserted into the top of the first mounting bracket 231 through the guide rod 2341 to limit the movement of the second mounting bracket 2331. The compression deformation of the spring 2342 facilitates the elastic support of the second mounting bracket 2331, thereby buffering the downward clamping of the first gripper cylinder 2332.

[0052] Example 2

[0053] Based on Embodiment 1, the position adjustment device 3 includes: a frame 31, which is mounted on a workbench; and a movable flipping mechanism 32, which is mounted on the frame 31. The frame 31 facilitates the installation of the movable flipping mechanism 32 and provides an installation position for the movable flipping mechanism 32. The mobile flipping mechanism 32 includes: a third linear module 321, which is mounted on the frame 31; a mounting base 322, which is mounted on the moving end of the third linear module 321, with a housing mounted on both ends of the mounting base 322, and a stepper motor installed inside the housing; and a second gripper cylinder 323, which is connected to the output end of the stepper motor. The two second gripper cylinders 323 facilitate the gripping of the battery cells on the conveyor belt. The stepper motor inside the housing drives the second gripper cylinders 323 to rotate, allowing the second gripper cylinders 323 to grip and rotate the battery cells, thereby adjusting the position of the battery cells. The operation of the third linear module 321 facilitates the linear horizontal movement of the battery cells.
