Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of battery box packaging equipment, and more specifically, to a battery box packaging mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In some existing technologies, battery manufacturing processes include cleaning, PECVD, PVD, screen printing, and sorting and testing.

[0003] Screen printing is a crucial step in the battery cell manufacturing process, and its production efficiency and product quality significantly impact the overall process. With the continuous expansion of production scale and the improvement of automation levels, more and more battery cell manufacturers are adopting automated aerial work lines for tasks such as transporting battery boxes, packaging entire boxes, placing them into cartons, and warehousing them. This aims to improve production efficiency, reduce labor costs, and enhance product consistency.

[0004] While automated aerial work platforms play a crucial role in the transport and overall packaging processes, significant bottlenecks remain in the film-sealing of battery cell boxes. Current mechanical equipment technology is not yet capable of automating the film-sealing process for battery cell boxes, necessitating manual sealing during actual production. This manual method is not only inefficient and prone to inconsistent packaging quality, but also increases labor costs and intensity, and fails to meet the demands of large-scale automated production.

[0021] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are illustrative and intended to provide further explanation of this application. Unless otherwise specified, 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 application pertains.

[0023] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways, rotated 90 degrees, or in other orientations, and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the battery box packaging mechanism of Embodiment 1 includes: a base assembly 10, a packaging platform assembly 20, a packaging pickup assembly 30, and a battery box conveying assembly 40. The packaging pickup assembly 30 includes a pickup robot structure 31, which has a placement position corresponding to the packaging platform assembly 20, or a pickup position away from the packaging platform assembly 20. The battery box conveying assembly 40 includes a battery box suction cup structure 41, which has a battery box placement position on the packaging platform assembly 20, or a battery box receiving position away from the packaging platform assembly 20.

[0025] The technical solution of Embodiment 1 uses a robotic arm to place the package onto a packaging platform assembly, and a battery box conveying assembly to place the battery box inside the package. This automated mechanical operation significantly reduces the labor intensity of manual operation, improves labor efficiency, and results in more consistent and stable packaging quality. The technical solution of this application effectively solves the problems of high labor intensity and unstable packaging quality in existing battery box packaging technologies.

[0026] In this embodiment, the packaging is a plastic packaging film 100.

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the packaging opening component 50 includes a packaging lateral movement structure 51, a packaging vertical movement structure 52, and a packaging opening structure 53. The packaging lateral movement structure 51 is movably mounted on the base component 10, the packaging vertical movement structure 52 is movably mounted on the packaging lateral movement structure 51, and the packaging opening structure 53 is mounted on the packaging vertical movement structure 52. The packaging lateral movement structure 51 and the packaging vertical movement structure 52 ensure that the packaging opening structure 53 can effectively avoid or open the plastic packaging film 100. During operation, the picking robot structure 31 places the plastic packaging film 100 on the packaging platform component 20 through negative pressure adsorption. The packaging platform component 20 has multiple negative pressure adsorption ports that can adsorb the plastic packaging film 100. The picking robot structure 31 and the packaging platform component 20 jointly adsorb the film. The picking robot structure 31 moves upward, thus opening the plastic packaging film 100. After the plastic packaging film 100 is opened, the packaging opening structure 53 moves toward the plastic packaging film 100 to expand the plastic packaging film 100 (before this action, there may be lateral movement, vertical movement of the packaging opening structure 53, and opening action of the first opening plate and the second opening plate). Then, the battery box conveying assembly 40 puts the battery box into the expanded plastic packaging film 100, and the packaging placement assembly 70 pushes the battery box down into the plastic packaging film 100.

[0028] It should be noted that the packaging lateral movement structure 51 includes a packaging lateral motor, a packaging lateral lead screw, a packaging slide rail, and a packaging lateral slider; the packaging vertical movement structure 52 includes a packaging vertical motor, a packaging vertical lead screw, and a packaging vertical slider. The packaging lateral motor and the packaging slide rail are both located on the lower bottom surface of the upper mounting plate of the base assembly 10 (e.g., ...). Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the packaging assembly 10, a horizontal packaging screw is rotatably mounted on the lower surface of the upper mounting plate and connected to the output shaft of the horizontal packaging motor. A horizontal packaging slider is movably mounted on a packaging slide rail and has a threaded hole that matches the horizontal packaging screw. A vertical packaging motor is mounted on the horizontal packaging slider, and a vertical packaging screw is rotatably mounted on the horizontal packaging slider and connected to the output end of the vertical packaging motor. The vertical packaging slider and the horizontal packaging slider have matching slide rails, and the vertical packaging slider has a threaded hole that matches the vertical packaging screw. The packaging opening structure 53 is mounted on the vertical packaging slider. The rotation of the horizontal packaging screw driven by the horizontal packaging motor is converted into movement of the horizontal packaging slider along the X-axis, and the rotation of the vertical packaging screw driven by the vertical packaging motor drives the vertical packaging slider to move along the Z-axis.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the packaging opening structure 53 includes a cylinder seat, a first opening piston, a second opening piston, a first opening plate, and a second opening plate. The cylinder seat is disposed on the packaging vertical moving structure 52. The first and second opening pistons are located on opposite sides of the cylinder seat. The first end of the first opening plate is connected to the first opening piston, and the first end of the second opening plate is connected to the second opening piston. The above structure is compact and operates quickly. It should be noted that the first opening plate is vertically arranged in width (along the Z-axis direction). From the first end to the second end of the first opening plate, it extends along a first direction. The second end of the first opening plate has a guide cone shape, which can play a guiding role. The second opening plate has the same structure as the first opening plate and is symmetrically arranged with the first opening plate.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the battery box packaging mechanism further includes a feeding component 60, which is disposed on the side of the cylinder seat near the packaging platform component 20. The feeding component 60 pushes the battery box smoothly away from the battery box suction cup structure 41. It should be noted that at this time, the battery box suction cup structure 41 stops its negative pressure suction of the battery box. The feeding component 60 includes a feeding cylinder, a feeding cylinder piston, and a feeding push plate. The feeding cylinder is disposed on the cylinder seat, the first end of the feeding cylinder piston is disposed on the feeding cylinder, and the feeding push plate is disposed on the second end of the feeding cylinder piston. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the motor lead screw and cylinder in this embodiment can be replaced with an electric push rod.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the battery box conveying assembly 40 further includes a battery box suction cup driving structure. The battery box suction cup structure 41 is movably disposed on the base assembly 10, and the battery box suction cup driving structure is disposed on the base assembly 10. The battery box suction cup structure 41 is connected to the output end of the battery box suction cup driving structure. In this embodiment, the base assembly 10 can be a single unit or a separate structure. For example, the packaging pickup assembly 30 is disposed on one sub-base, and the battery box conveying assembly 40 is disposed on another sub-base.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the battery box suction cup structure 41 includes a proximity switch and two spaced-apart trays. The proximity switch is disposed on the two trays, and each tray has multiple negative pressure holes. The two spaced-apart trays, each with multiple negative pressure holes, make the battery box more stable when placed, and the battery box suction cup structure 41 is relatively lightweight.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the packaging pickup assembly 30 further includes a pickup lateral movement structure 32 and a pickup vertical movement structure 33. The pickup lateral movement structure 32 is disposed on the base assembly 10, the pickup vertical movement structure 33 is disposed on the pickup lateral movement structure 32, and the pickup robot structure 31 is disposed on the pickup vertical movement structure 33. The arrangement of the pickup lateral movement structure 32 and the pickup vertical movement structure 33 allows the pickup robot structure 31 to move with a high degree of freedom. The pickup lateral movement structure 32 drives the pickup robot structure 31 to move along the Y-axis, and the pickup vertical movement structure 33 drives the pickup robot structure 31 to move along the Z-axis. The pickup lateral movement structure 32 and the pickup vertical movement structure 33 can be a motor screw structure, an electric actuator structure, or a cylinder structure, and are not limited here.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the picking robot structure 31 includes a picking plate, and the lower side of the picking plate has multiple negative pressure adsorption holes. The above structure makes the picking up of the plastic packaging film 100 more stable and reliable.

[0035] The difference between the technical solution of Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that the battery box packaging mechanism further includes a feeding component 60, and the battery box suction cup structure 41 includes a battery box moving base and a battery box suction cup. The battery box moving base is connected to the base assembly 10 via a slide rail, and the battery box suction cup is mounted on the battery box moving base. The feeding component 60 is mounted on the battery box moving base. The feeding component 60 includes a feeding cylinder, a feeding cylinder piston, and a feeding push plate. The feeding cylinder is mounted on the battery box moving base, the first end of the feeding cylinder piston is mounted on the feeding cylinder, and the feeding push plate is mounted on the second end of the feeding cylinder piston. Mounting the feeding component 60 on the battery box moving base makes the feeding more stable, eliminating the need for adjustment each time feeding occurs; adjustment is only required during initial installation.
