Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flow battery technology, and in particular to a carbon felt assembly mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] The electrodes of a flow battery consist of a flow frame and a carbon felt, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the flow frame 4 is equipped with an assembly hole 41. During the production process, the carbon felt 5 needs to be accurately embedded into the assembly hole 41. However, during the production process, some carbon felt 5 structures usually overlap the edge of the assembly hole 41. If all such products are rejected, it will affect production efficiency and increase production costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a carbon felt assembly mechanism that can repair some products during the inspection process, which is conducive to improving production efficiency and product yield, and reducing production costs.

[0004] The embodiments of this utility model are achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A carbon felt assembly mechanism includes a conveyor line and an assembly section and a maintenance section arranged sequentially along the conveyor line. The maintenance section includes a maintenance frame and a maintenance assembly. The conveyor line passes through the maintenance frame, and the maintenance assembly is adjustablely mounted on the maintenance frame. The maintenance assembly includes a maintenance base block, on which a reference wheel set and a maintenance wheel set are provided. The reference wheel set abuts against a fluid flow frame, and the maintenance wheel set abuts against the edge of the assembly hole. The maintenance wheel set can move vertically upward under the action of an external force. During use, the inspection wheel set moves along the contour of the assembly hole, with the reference wheel set serving as a benchmark. If the carbon felt is successfully installed into the assembly hole, the inspection wheel set will maintain its vertical height or fluctuate within the allowable stroke range, indicating that the carbon felt assembly is qualified. For carbon felt structures that have not entered the assembly hole, the inspection wheel set can press them into the assembly hole during the inspection process, which helps improve the yield rate. However, for those that cannot be repaired, i.e., a large portion of the carbon felt is not embedded in the assembly hole and is still overlapping at the edge of the assembly hole under the action of the inspection wheel set, the inspection wheel set will move upward in the vertical direction due to the superposition of the carbon felt and the fluid flow frame thickness. This indicates that the current carbon felt assembly is unqualified, reminding the product to be NG or requiring manual adjustment. In this way, some products can be repaired during the inspection process, which helps improve production efficiency and product yield, and reduces production costs.

[0007] According to a preferred embodiment, the reference wheel set includes a second wheel frame, which is mounted on the maintenance base block, and a second roller is rotatably mounted on the second wheel frame.

[0008] According to a preferred embodiment, the second wheel frame is adjustablely mounted to the maintenance base block via an adjusting cylinder.

[0009] According to a preferred embodiment, the maintenance assembly further includes an extension plate, which is adjustablely mounted on the maintenance frame, and the maintenance base block is adjustablely mounted on the extension plate in a vertical direction.

[0010] According to a preferred embodiment, the assembly unit includes an assembly frame, through which the conveyor line passes. The assembly frame is provided with an assembly area and a buffer area, the conveyor line is located in the buffer area, and a gripping component is adjustablely provided on the assembly frame, the gripping component being capable of reciprocating between the assembly area and the buffer area.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To better understand and implement this invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, 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.

[0022] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 A carbon felt assembly mechanism includes a conveyor line 3 and an assembly section 1 and a maintenance section 2 arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the conveyor line 3. The maintenance section 2 includes a maintenance frame 21 and a maintenance assembly 23. The conveyor line 3 passes through the maintenance frame 21, and the maintenance assembly 23 is adjustablely mounted on the maintenance frame 21. The maintenance assembly 23 includes a maintenance base block 232, on which a reference wheel set and a maintenance wheel set are provided. The reference wheel set abuts against a liquid flow frame 4, and the maintenance wheel set abuts against the edge of an assembly hole 41. The maintenance wheel set can move vertically upwards under the action of external force. In this embodiment, the conveyor line 3 is an assembly line, and a conveyor fixture 31 is mounted on the conveyor line 3. This conveyor fixture 31 is used to assemble the liquid flow frame 4, and it can reciprocate between the assembly section 1 and the maintenance section 2 under the action of the conveyor line 3. In this embodiment, the maintenance component 23 is adjustablely mounted on the maintenance frame 21 via the first gantry structure 22.

[0024] During use, the reference wheel set is used as a reference, which abuts against the fluid flow frame 4. The inspection wheel set, located at the edge of the assembly hole 41, at least partially covers the carbon felt 5 area. The inspection wheel set moves along the contour of the assembly hole 41. Using the reference wheel set as a reference, if the carbon felt 5 is successfully installed into the assembly hole 41, the vertical height of the inspection wheel set remains unchanged or fluctuates within the allowable stroke range, indicating that the carbon felt 5 is assembled successfully. For carbon felt 5 structures that do not enter the assembly hole 41, the inspection wheel set can press them into the assembly hole 41 during the inspection process, which helps improve the yield rate. For those that cannot be repaired, that is, a large part of the carbon felt 5 is not embedded in the assembly hole 41 and is still overlapping the edge of the assembly hole 41 under the action of the inspection wheel set, the inspection wheel set moves upward in the vertical direction due to the superposition of the thickness of the carbon felt 5 and the fluid flow frame 4. This indicates that the current carbon felt 5 assembly is unqualified, reminding the product to be NG or requiring manual adjustment. In this way, some products can be repaired during the inspection process, which helps improve production efficiency and product yield, and reduces production costs.

[0025] Furthermore, the maintenance wheel assembly includes a first wheel frame 235 and a limiting block 237. The limiting block 237 is fixedly installed on the maintenance base block 232, and the first wheel frame 235 is slidably installed on the maintenance base block 232 in the vertical direction. The limiting block 237 is located above the first wheel frame 235, and a displacement sensor 238 is disposed between the first wheel frame 235 and the limiting block 237. A first roller 236 is rotatably installed on the first wheel frame 235. The first roller 236 is used to reduce the friction between the maintenance wheel assembly and the carbon felt 5 and the fluid flow frame 4. The displacement sensor 238 can more accurately measure the displacement of the first wheel frame 235.

[0026] In this embodiment, the reference wheel set includes a second wheel frame 233, which is mounted on the maintenance base block 232, and a second roller 234 is rotatably mounted on the second wheel frame 233.

[0027] In some embodiments, the second wheel frame 233 is adjustablely mounted on the maintenance base block 232 via an adjusting cylinder 2331. Specifically, the height of the second wheel frame 233 is adjusted by the adjusting cylinder 2331, thereby enabling the maintenance assembly 23 to adapt to more processing scenarios.

[0028] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the maintenance assembly 23 also includes an extension plate 231, which is adjustablely mounted on the maintenance frame 21. A maintenance base block 232 is adjustablely mounted on the extension plate 231 in the vertical direction. Specifically, a first gantry structure 22 is configured on the maintenance frame 21, and the extension plate 231 is adjustablely mounted on the first gantry structure 22 along its width direction via a linear module. Optionally, the maintenance base block 232 is slidably connected to the extension plate 231 via a slide rail slider assembly and is driven by a cylinder mounted on the extension plate 231.

[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the assembly unit 1 includes an assembly frame 11, through which a conveyor line 3 passes. The assembly frame 11 is equipped with an assembly area 15 and a buffer area 14. The conveyor line 3 is located in the buffer area 14. A gripping assembly 13 is adjustablely mounted on the assembly frame 11, capable of reciprocating between the assembly area 15 and the buffer area 14. Specifically, a second gantry structure 12 is provided on the assembly frame 11, through which the gripping assembly 13 is adjustablely mounted. The gripping assembly 13 is used to transfer the carbon felt 5 in the buffer area 14 to the liquid flow frame 4 in the assembly area 15.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 3As shown, the gripping assembly 13 includes a hanger 131, which is mounted on the second gantry structure 12. A base plate 132 is disposed at the lower end of the hanger 131. A first gripping plate 135 and a second gripping plate 136 are sequentially disposed on the lower side of the base plate 132. A first guide post 133 extending vertically upward is disposed on the first gripping plate 135. The first guide post 133 penetrates the base plate 132 and is slidably connected to it through a linear bearing. It can be understood that a limiting step or a limiting baffle is disposed at the upper end of the first guide post 133 to prevent the first gripping plate 135 and the second gripping plate 136 from detaching from the base plate 132 under the action of gravity. Furthermore, a return spring 134 is sleeved on the first guide post 133, and the return spring 134 is disposed between the base plate 132 and the first gripping plate 135. A drive cylinder 137 is disposed on the first gripping plate 135, and a second guide post 138 is disposed on the second gripping plate 136. The second guide post 138 extends vertically and passes through the first gripping plate 135 and is slidably connected to the first gripping plate 135 through a linear bearing. Correspondingly, the upper end of the second guide post 138 is the same as that of the first guide post 133, and both are provided with a limiting step or a limiting baffle. In this embodiment, the drive cylinder 137 acts on the second gripping plate 136 so that the second gripping plate 136 can move closer to or away from the first gripping plate 135 in the vertical direction. In order to smoothly grip the carbon felt 5, a plurality of needle-shaped suction cups 1361 are provided on the second gripping plate 136.

[0031] In use, the second gantry structure 12 drives the gripping component 13 to move to the buffer area 14, grips the carbon felt 5, and moves to the assembly area 15. The hanger 131 moves downward in the vertical direction to assemble the carbon felt 5 into the assembly hole 41. At this time, the hanger 131 maintains the vertical height, and the drive cylinder 137 extends. At this time, the first gripping plate 135 moves upward in the vertical direction and compresses the return spring 134. This process can ensure that the first gripping plate 135 applies a certain clamping force to the carbon felt 5 to ensure that the carbon felt 5 can be embedded in the assembly hole 41. Then the drive cylinder 137 returns to its original position, and the hanger 131 moves upward in the vertical direction to make the gripping component 13 disengage from the carbon felt 5, thus completing the assembly of the carbon felt 5 on the liquid flow frame 4.

[0032] It should be noted that the movement of the hanger 131 in the width direction and in the vertical direction of the second gantry structure 12 is achieved by a linear module installed on the second gantry structure 12.

[0033] The technical means disclosed in this utility model are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
