Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery production technology, and more specifically, to a battery adhesive application and shaping device. Background Technology

[0002] Some existing batteries have exposed flexible circuit boards (such as mobile phone batteries). During the production process, adhesive tape needs to be applied to some components on the flexible circuit board to ensure insulation, fixation, and protection. In addition, due to the compact internal space of mobile phones, the exposed flexible circuit board may interfere with other components inside the phone during installation. Therefore, the flexible circuit board needs to be shaped to a specific form to avoid misalignment during installation.

[0003] Currently, adhesive application and shaping are typically performed on different equipment. Transferring between these machines is time-consuming, impacting production efficiency, and the higher cost of two separate machines increases production costs. Furthermore, to ensure proper adhesion between the adhesive tape and the component, the tape is usually smoothed after application to ensure a tight bond. Existing adhesive application equipment typically uses a cylinder-driven pusher to apply the adhesive. However, since component surfaces are often curved (such as NTC components), applying adhesive using the flat surface of the pusher is ineffective, failing to guarantee sufficient adhesion. This method also generates significant friction, and the sharp edges of the pusher surface can easily scratch the tape, causing damage and affecting its functionality. While some equipment uses robotic arms for adhesive application, offering better results than pushers, these arms are expensive, significantly increasing equipment costs and making them less economical. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a battery adhesive application and shaping device with a high degree of automation and low cost, so as to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0006] A battery adhesive application and shaping device includes: a turntable for transporting batteries; a first adhesive application mechanism including a robotic arm for applying adhesive paper; an adhesive application mechanism including a rotatable adhesive application roller and an adhesive application drive assembly for driving the adhesive application roller to move; and a shaping mechanism including a shaping clamping assembly for clamping a flexible plate on the battery to shape the flexible plate; wherein the first adhesive application mechanism, the adhesive application mechanism, and the shaping mechanism are arranged sequentially along the rotation direction of the turntable, so that the turntable drives the battery to pass through the first adhesive application mechanism, the adhesive application mechanism, and the shaping mechanism in sequence.

[0007] In the above scheme, a fixture for placing batteries is provided on the turntable. After the batteries are placed in the fixture, they first reach the first adhesive application mechanism as the turntable rotates. The robotic arm picks up the adhesive tape and applies it to the exposed components of the battery. After application, the battery moves with the turntable to the adhesive applicator. The applicator roller, driven by the applicator drive assembly, moves along the adhesive tape surface on the battery. The rolling of the applicator roller ensures that the adhesive tape is fully adhered to the component. After applicator application, the battery moves with the turntable to the shaping mechanism. The shaping and clamping assembly clamps the exposed flexible circuit board of the battery and applies pressure to the flexible circuit board for a certain period of time to shape it into a suitable shape. However, since the surface of the components is usually an arc with a certain curvature, applying the adhesive tape by the robotic arm alone cannot ensure a full adherence between the adhesive tape and the component. This invention includes an adhesive applicator at the next station after the adhesive applicator. Driven by an adhesive applicator drive assembly, the applicator roller rolls along an arc-shaped path on the surface of the component with the adhesive tape. This rolling motion ensures the adhesive tape adheres fully to the component, preventing defects such as air bubbles and curling edges, and guaranteeing a tight and stable bond. Simultaneously, the relative movement of the applicator roller with the adhesive tape through rolling generates minimal friction, effectively preventing scratches and damage to the tape surface, ensuring the structural integrity of the tape, and guaranteeing the proper functioning of its core functions such as insulation, fixation, and protection. Furthermore, compared to using a robotic arm, the combination of the applicator roller and drive assembly significantly reduces manufacturing costs.

[0008] In one example of this utility model, the adhesive application mechanism includes a connecting block and a rotating shaft. The connecting block is connected to the adhesive application drive assembly, the rotating shaft is mounted on the connecting block, and the adhesive application roller is rotatably sleeved on the rotating shaft.

[0009] In the above solution, the adhesive application drive assembly moves the drive connecting block to drive the adhesive application roller on the rotating shaft to apply adhesive to the adhesive paper on the battery. The adhesive application roller is sleeved on the rotating shaft and rotates around the axis of the rotating shaft. By setting the rotating shaft, a stable mounting position is provided for the adhesive application roller, which makes the rotation of the adhesive application roller smoother.

[0010] In one example of this utility model, the adhesive application driver includes a first linear module and a second linear module connected to each other, and the driving directions of the first linear module and the second linear module are perpendicular to each other.

[0011] In the above scheme, the first linear module is installed on the output end of the second linear module. The first linear module drives the adhesive applicator roller to move vertically, and the second linear module drives the first linear module to move horizontally, thereby causing the adhesive applicator roller to move horizontally. Through the cooperation of the first and second linear modules, the adhesive applicator roller can move at a certain arc to match the curved surface of the component, ensuring that the adhesive paper fully adheres to the surface of the component when applying the adhesive.

[0012] In one example of this utility model, the first adhesive applicator includes an adhesive feeder and a positioning camera, the positioning camera being used to photograph and position the adhesive.

[0013] In the above scheme, the adhesive tape feeder is used to provide adhesive tape for the robot arm to pick up. After the robot arm picks up the adhesive tape from the adhesive tape feeder, it first moves to the positioning camera to take pictures and position the tape, and detects whether the relative position of the adhesive tape on the robot arm is accurate, so as to ensure the accuracy of the subsequent bonding position of the adhesive tape.

[0014] In one example of this utility model, the shaping clamping assembly includes a pressure block, a support block, and a pressing drive and a supporting drive for driving the pressure block and the support block to move, respectively. The pressure block and the support block are provided with mutually cooperating shaping surfaces. The pressure block is connected to an adjusting member, which is arranged perpendicular to the pressing drive to adjust the position of the pressure block in a direction perpendicular to the driving direction of the pressing drive.

[0015] In the above scheme, the pressure block is positioned above the support block. Driven by the pressing drive and the support drive, the pressure block and the support block can move towards each other, thereby clamping and shaping the flexible battery circuit board. The side of the pressure block and the support block that is close to each other is the shaping surface, which has a concave-convex structure to shape the flexible circuit board into a suitable shape, facilitating misalignment during subsequent battery installation. An adjusting component is connected to the side of the pressure block, which can adjust the horizontal position of the pressure block to ensure alignment between the pressure block and the support block, thus guaranteeing the shaping effect.

[0016] In one example of this utility model, the shaping mechanism includes a mounting plate and a shaping drive connected to the mounting plate. The shaping clamping assembly is mounted on the mounting plate, and the mounting plate is provided with a guide rail. The pressure block and the support block are both slidably connected to the guide rail.

[0017] In the above scheme, the guide rail is used to guide the movement of the pressure block and the support block, ensuring that the movement direction of the pressure block and the support block is always in the same straight line, thus guaranteeing the shaping effect. The shaping drive component can move the drive mounting plate, thereby moving the shaping clamping assembly and bringing the pressure block and the support block closer to the battery on the turntable for subsequent shaping work.

[0018] In one example of this utility model, a second adhesive applicator is provided on the side of the adhesive applicator away from the first adhesive applicator. The second adhesive applicator includes a robotic arm, an adhesive paper feeder, and a positioning camera.

[0019] In the above scheme, the second adhesive applicator is used to apply outer adhesive tape to the outside of the battery. It is similar in structure and principle to the first adhesive applicator. The second adhesive applicator also includes a robotic arm, an adhesive tape feeder and a positioning camera. After the robotic arm takes the adhesive tape from the adhesive tape feeder, it first moves to the positioning camera to take pictures and position it, and then applies the adhesive tape to the battery on the turntable.

[0020] In one example of this utility model, a detection mechanism and a defect discharge mechanism are provided between the second adhesive applicator and the shaping mechanism. The detection mechanism and the defect discharge mechanism are arranged sequentially along the rotation direction of the turntable. The detection mechanism includes a detection camera for taking pictures and detecting defects. The defect discharge mechanism is located on the side of the detection mechanism and includes a defect conveying module and a defect conveyor belt.

[0021] In the above scheme, before reaching the shaping mechanism, the battery first goes to the inspection mechanism for inspection. The inspection camera takes pictures of the battery to check for the presence of adhesive tape and whether it is properly attached. After inspection, the battery moves with the turntable to the defective discharge mechanism. If it fails the inspection in the previous process, the defective conveying module is activated to transport the defective battery to the defective conveyor belt for recycling. If it passes the inspection in the previous process, the defective conveying module is not activated, and the qualified battery continues to move with the turntable to the shaping mechanism.

[0022] In one example of this utility model, a conveying mechanism is also included, which includes a conveying module and a plurality of conveying components mounted on the conveying module; the conveying components include a conveying drive and a suction block connected to the output end of the conveying drive.

[0023] In the above scheme, the conveying mechanism is used to move the batteries to be glued and shaped onto the turntable, and to remove the batteries from the turntable after glue application and shaping. The conveying components move under the drive of the conveying module to perform battery conveying. Multiple conveying components are provided to simultaneously perform loading and unloading operations, improving work efficiency. Suction blocks can pick up batteries, and the conveying drive unit drives the suction blocks to rise and fall, allowing the suction blocks to pick up and place the batteries.

[0024] In one example of this utility model, a conveying mechanism is also included, which includes an infeed conveyor belt and a positioning component; the positioning component includes a positioning drive and a positioning baffle, the positioning baffle is disposed on the conveying path of the infeed conveyor belt, the positioning drive is disposed on the side of the infeed conveyor belt, and a push block is connected to the output end of the positioning drive.

[0025] In the above scheme, the feed conveyor belt is used to transport batteries to be glued and shaped. A positioning baffle is installed on the feed conveyor belt to block the batteries on it. While the positioning baffle blocks the batteries, it also positions the sides of the batteries. At this time, a pusher block, driven by a positioning drive, pushes the bottom edge of the battery to position it. By setting up the positioning baffle and pusher block, a set of adjacent sides of the battery are positioned, achieving the battery positioning work so that the subsequent handling mechanism can accurately transport the battery to the fixture on the turntable.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This application integrates battery adhesive application and shaping into a single device by setting up a turntable, a first adhesive application mechanism, an adhesive spreading mechanism, and a shaping mechanism. This saves transfer time, improves work efficiency, and reduces equipment costs. Furthermore, this equipment can achieve fully automated battery adhesive application and shaping without manual intervention, resulting in a high degree of automation and effectively improving production efficiency. This application includes an adhesive application mechanism. Driven by an adhesive application drive assembly, the adhesive application roller rolls along an arc-shaped path on the surface of the component with the adhesive tape. This rolling motion ensures the adhesive tape adheres fully to the component, preventing defects such as air bubbles and curling edges, and guaranteeing a tight and stable bond. Simultaneously, the roller's relative movement to the adhesive tape generates minimal rolling friction, effectively preventing scratches and damage to the tape surface, ensuring the tape's structural integrity and guaranteeing its core functions of insulation, fixation, and protection. Furthermore, using an adhesive application roller in conjunction with a drive assembly significantly reduces manufacturing costs compared to employing a robotic arm. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0039] To facilitate understanding of this invention, a more comprehensive description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings illustrate preferred embodiments of the invention. However, this invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0040] Please refer to Figures 1 to 9In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a battery adhesive application and shaping device is provided, which includes a machine base, and a turntable 1, a first adhesive application mechanism 2, an adhesive spreading mechanism 3, and a shaping mechanism 7 disposed on the machine base. The turntable 1 is used to transport batteries; the first adhesive application mechanism 2 includes a robotic arm for applying adhesive paper; the adhesive spreading mechanism 3 includes a rotatable adhesive spreading roller 31 and an adhesive spreading drive assembly 34 for driving the adhesive spreading roller 31 to move; the shaping mechanism 7 includes a shaping clamping assembly 71, which is used to clamp the flexible plate on the battery to shape the flexible plate; wherein, the first adhesive application mechanism 2, the adhesive spreading mechanism 3, and the shaping mechanism 7 are arranged sequentially along the rotation direction of the turntable 1, so that the turntable 1 drives the battery to pass through the first adhesive application mechanism 2, the adhesive spreading mechanism 3, and the shaping mechanism 7 in sequence.

[0041] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the adhesive tape applied to the battery at the first adhesive application mechanism 2 is NTC adhesive tape. This tape is applied to the exposed NTC component of the battery and serves to fix, conduct heat, and insulate the NTC component. The flexible circuit board of the battery refers to the exposed FPC board. The shaping mechanism 7 shapes the flexible circuit board into a suitable shape to avoid interference during subsequent battery installation. Taking this embodiment as an example, the battery involved in this embodiment is a mobile phone battery. When assembling with a mobile phone, due to the compact internal space of the phone, its exposed flexible circuit board needs to be shaped into a specific shape to be installed inside the phone and avoid interference with other components inside the phone.

[0042] In addition, for easy distinction, the robotic arm in the first adhesive applicator 2 is named the first robotic arm 21.

[0043] Specifically, the turntable 1 is equipped with a fixture 11 for placing batteries. After the batteries are placed in the fixture 11, they first reach the first adhesive application mechanism 2 under the rotation of the turntable 1. The first robotic arm 21 picks up the adhesive paper and applies it to the exposed components of the battery. After the adhesive is applied by the first adhesive application mechanism 2, the battery moves with the turntable 1 to the adhesive application mechanism 3. The adhesive application roller 31 moves along the adhesive paper surface on the battery under the drive of the adhesive application drive assembly 34. The rolling of the adhesive application roller 31 ensures that the adhesive paper is fully adhered to the component. After the adhesive is applied, the battery moves with the turntable 1 to the shaping mechanism 7. The shaping clamping assembly 71 clamps the exposed flexible circuit board of the battery and shapes it into a suitable shape by applying pressure to the flexible circuit board for a certain period of time. Since the surface of the component is usually an arc surface with a certain curvature, applying the adhesive paper by the first robotic arm 21 alone cannot ensure that the adhesive paper is fully adhered to the component. This invention includes a glue-applying mechanism 3 at the next station after the glue-applying mechanism. Driven by a glue-applying drive assembly 34, the glue-applying roller 31 rolls along an arc-shaped path on the component surface. This rolling motion ensures the adhesive tape adheres fully to the component, preventing defects such as air bubbles and curling edges, and guaranteeing a tight and stable bond. Simultaneously, the relative movement of the glue-applying roller 31 with the adhesive tape through rolling generates minimal friction, effectively preventing scratches and damage to the adhesive tape surface, ensuring the structural integrity of the tape, and guaranteeing the proper functioning of its core functions such as insulation, fixation, and protection. Furthermore, by using the glue-applying roller 31 in conjunction with the drive assembly, the manufacturing cost can be significantly reduced compared to using a robotic arm for glue application.

[0044] Preferably, the fixture 11 includes a base 111, a pressure plate 112, and a clamping drive 113. The base 111 is used to place the battery X. The pressure plate 112 is connected to the output end of the clamping drive 113. Under the drive of the clamping drive 113, the pressure plate 112 clamps the battery X onto the base 111 to fix the battery X.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 4 The adhesive application mechanism 3 includes a connecting block 32 and a rotating shaft 33. The connecting block 32 is connected to the adhesive application drive assembly 34, and the rotating shaft 33 is mounted on the connecting block 32. The adhesive application roller 31 is rotatably sleeved on the rotating shaft 33.

[0046] Specifically, the adhesive application drive assembly 34 moves via the drive connecting block 32 to drive the adhesive application roller 31 on the rotating shaft 33 to apply adhesive to the adhesive paper on the battery. The adhesive application roller 31 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 33 and rotates around the axis of the rotating shaft 33. By setting the rotating shaft 33 to provide a stable mounting position for the adhesive application roller 31, the rotation of the adhesive application roller 31 can be made smoother.

[0047] Preferably, two adhesive rollers 31 are provided to increase the contact area, save the time required for applying adhesive paper, and improve production efficiency.

[0048] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 The adhesive application drive includes a first linear module 341 and a second linear module 342 connected to each other, and the driving directions of the first linear module 341 and the second linear module 342 are perpendicular to each other.

[0049] Specifically, the first linear module 341 is mounted on the output end of the second linear module 342. The first linear module 341 drives the adhesive applicator roller 31 to move vertically, and the second linear module 342 drives the first linear module 341 to move horizontally, thereby causing the adhesive applicator roller 31 to move horizontally. Through the cooperation of the first linear module 341 and the second linear module 342, the adhesive applicator roller 31 can move at a certain arc to match the curved surface of the component, ensuring that the adhesive paper fully adheres to the surface of the component when applying the adhesive paper.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 3 The first adhesive applicator 2 includes an adhesive tape feeder and a positioning camera, which is used to photograph and position the adhesive tape. For easy distinction, the adhesive tape feeder and the positioning camera in the first adhesive applicator 2 are named the first adhesive tape feeder 22 and the first positioning camera 23.

[0051] Specifically, the adhesive tape feeder is used to provide adhesive tape for the robotic arm to pick up. After the robotic arm picks up the adhesive tape from the adhesive tape feeder, it first moves to the positioning camera to take pictures and position the tape, and detects whether the relative position of the tape on the robotic arm is accurate, so as to ensure the accuracy of the subsequent bonding position of the tape.

[0052] The first adhesive tape feeder 22 includes a feed roller 221 and a conveying platform 222. The adhesive tape is installed on the feed roller 221 and is fed through the feed roller 221. The conveying platform 222 is used to convey the adhesive tape Y that has been separated by the first adhesive tape feeder 22 so that the robot can pick it up.

[0053] It should be noted that the adhesive tape feeder is a common feeding device, and its specific feeding principle can be found in existing technology, so it will not be elaborated on here.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The shaping clamping assembly 71 includes a pressure block 711, a support block 712, and a pressing drive 713 and a support drive 714 for driving the pressure block 711 and the support block 712 to move, respectively. The pressure block 711 and the support block 712 are provided with mutually cooperating shaping surfaces. The pressure block 711 is connected to an adjusting member 715, which is arranged perpendicular to the pressing drive 713 to adjust the position of the pressure block 711 in a direction perpendicular to the driving direction of the pressing drive 713.

[0055] Specifically, the pressure block 711 is positioned above the support block 712. Driven by the pressing drive 713 and the support drive 714, the pressure block 711 and the support block 712 can move towards each other, thereby clamping and shaping the flexible battery circuit board. The sides of the pressure block 711 and the support block 712 that are close to each other are shaping surfaces, which have concave and convex structures to shape the flexible circuit board into a suitable shape, facilitating alignment during subsequent battery installation. An adjusting member 715 is connected to the side of the pressure block 711, which can adjust the horizontal position of the pressure block 711 to ensure alignment between the pressure block 711 and the support block 712, thus guaranteeing the shaping effect.

[0056] Furthermore, the shaping mechanism 7 also includes a mounting plate 72 and a shaping drive component 73 connected to the mounting plate 72. The shaping clamping assembly 71 is mounted on the mounting plate 72. The mounting plate 72 is provided with a guide rail 721. The pressure block 711 and the support block 712 are slidably connected to the guide rail 721.

[0057] The guide rail 721 guides the movement of the pressure block 711 and the support block 712, ensuring that their movement directions are always in a straight line, thus guaranteeing the shaping effect. The shaping drive component 73 can move via the drive mounting plate 72, thereby moving the shaping clamping assembly 71 to bring the pressure block 711 and the support block 712 closer to the battery on the turntable 1 for subsequent shaping work.

[0058] Preferably, to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the pressure block 711 and the support block 712, both the pressure block 711 and the support block 712 are connected to the pressing drive member 713 and the support drive member 714 via a mounting block 716. The two mounting blocks 716 are respectively connected to the output ends of the pressing drive member 713 and the support drive member 714. Furthermore, one side of the mounting block 716 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 721, indirectly achieving a sliding connection between the pressure block 711 and the support block 712 and the guide rail 721, facilitating the adjustment and assembly / disassembly of the pressure block 711 and the support block 712. In addition, the pressure block 711 and the mounting block 716 can slide relative to each other, allowing the adjusting member 715 to adjust their positions.

[0059] Preferably, the adjusting member 715 adopts a micrometer head, which can realize precise control of the position of the pressure block 711.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 A second adhesive applicator 4 is provided on the side of the adhesive applicator 3 away from the first adhesive applicator 2. The second adhesive applicator 4 includes a robotic arm, an adhesive tape feeder, and a positioning camera. For easy distinction, the robotic arm, adhesive tape feeder, and positioning camera in the second adhesive applicator 4 are respectively named the second robotic arm 41, the second adhesive tape feeder 42, and the second positioning camera 43.

[0061] The second adhesive applicator 4 is used to apply outer adhesive tape to the outside of the battery. It has a similar structure and principle to the first adhesive applicator 2. When the battery arrives at the second adhesive applicator 4, the second robotic arm 41 takes the adhesive tape from the second adhesive tape feeder 42, moves to the second positioning camera 43 to take pictures and position it, and then applies the adhesive tape to the battery on the turntable 1.

[0062] It should be noted that since the outer surface of the battery is flat, there is no need to apply adhesive when attaching the outer adhesive tape.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 A detection mechanism 5 and a defect discharge mechanism 6 are provided between the second adhesive application mechanism 4 and the shaping mechanism 7. The detection mechanism 5 and the defect discharge mechanism 6 are arranged sequentially along the rotation direction of the turntable 1. The detection mechanism 5 includes a detection camera 51 for taking pictures and detecting defects. The defect discharge mechanism 6 is located on the side of the detection mechanism 5. The defect discharge mechanism 6 includes a defect conveying module 61 and a defect conveyor belt 62.

[0064] Specifically, before reaching the shaping mechanism 7 for shaping, the battery first goes to the inspection mechanism 5 for inspection. The inspection camera 51 takes pictures of the battery to check for the presence of adhesive tape and whether it is properly attached. After inspection, the battery moves with the turntable 1 to the defective discharge mechanism 6. If it fails the inspection in the previous process, the defective conveying module 61 is activated to transport the defective battery to the defective conveyor belt 62 for recycling. If it passes the inspection in the previous process, the defective conveying module 61 is not activated, and the qualified battery continues to move with the turntable 1 to the shaping mechanism 7.

[0065] It should be noted that the defective conveying module 61 can be a common linear module and linear motor, and can be equipped with a suction nozzle or gripper to pick up and place defective batteries. Its specific conveying principle can be referred to the handling mechanism 9 in this embodiment or existing technology, and will not be elaborated further here.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 9 The device also includes a conveying mechanism 9, which is located above the turntable 1. The conveying mechanism 9 includes a conveying module 91 and a plurality of conveying components 92 mounted on the conveying module 91. The conveying components 92 include a conveying drive 921 and a suction block 922 connected to the output end of the conveying drive 921.

[0067] Specifically, the conveying mechanism 9 is used to transport batteries to be shaped and coated onto the turntable 1, and to remove batteries shaped by the shaping mechanism 7 from the turntable 1 and send them to other equipment for further processing. The conveying assembly 92 moves under the drive of the conveying module 91 to perform battery conveying. Multiple conveying assemblies 92 are provided to allow for simultaneous loading and unloading, improving work efficiency. The suction block 922 can pick up batteries, and the conveying drive component 921 drives the suction block 922 to rise and fall, allowing the suction block 922 to pick up and place the batteries.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 10 The equipment includes a conveying mechanism 8, which includes a feed conveyor belt 81 and a positioning component. The positioning component includes a positioning drive 82 and a positioning baffle 84. The positioning baffle 84 is located on the conveying path of the feed conveyor belt 81, and the positioning drive 82 is located on the side of the feed conveyor belt 81. The output end of the positioning drive 82 is connected to a push block 83.

[0069] Specifically, the feeding conveyor belt 81 is used to transport batteries to be glued and shaped. A positioning baffle 84 is installed on the feeding conveyor belt 81 to block the batteries on the belt. While the positioning baffle 84 blocks the batteries, it also positions the sides of the batteries. At this time, the push block 83, driven by the positioning drive component 82, pushes the bottom edge of the battery to position it. By setting the positioning baffle 84 and the push block 83, a set of adjacent sides of the battery are positioned, achieving battery positioning so that the subsequent handling mechanism 9 can accurately transport the batteries and place them into the fixture 11 on the turntable 1.

[0070] For ease of understanding, the overall workflow of this equipment is as follows: S1: The battery is conveyed to one side of the turntable 1 by the feed conveyor belt 81, and then transported to the fixture 11 on the turntable 1 by the handling mechanism 9; S2: The battery moves with the turntable 1 to the first adhesive applicator 2. The first adhesive applicator robot picks up the NTC adhesive tape, takes a picture and positions it at the first positioning camera 23, and then applies the adhesive tape to the battery. S3: The battery moves with the turntable 1 to the glue application mechanism 3. The glue application roller 31, driven by the glue application drive assembly 34, rolls along the surface of the component to apply glue to the adhesive paper. S4: The battery moves with the turntable 1 to the second adhesive applicator 4. The second adhesive applicator robot takes the outer adhesive paper and takes a picture at the second positioning camera 43 for positioning. Then the adhesive paper is applied to the battery. S5: The battery moves with the turntable 1 to the testing mechanism 5, and the testing camera 51 takes pictures of the battery for testing. S6: The battery moves with the turntable 1 to the defective discharge mechanism 6.
