Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of material inspection technology, specifically to a multi-station positioning and correction device. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production, positioning and correction equipment is typically used to hold materials in accurate positions to ensure processing precision. For example, in lithium battery testing, square bare cells require clamping and centering followed by secondary positioning before loading to correct positional and angular deviations. This ensures the square bare cells are in their preset positions and angles, facilitating subsequent operations and improving the accuracy of lithium battery testing. However, existing conventional positioning and correction equipment, due to its unreasonable structural design, can usually only center and position one material at a time, making it difficult to clamp multiple materials simultaneously. This significantly impacts the production cycle time, resulting in low production efficiency. Utility Model Content

The support column is connected between the base assembly and the shelf.

[0018] In some embodiments, the first clamping mechanism further includes a first driving member, and the second clamping mechanism further includes a second driving member;

[0019] The first driving member and the second driving member are mounted on the base assembly. The two first driving members are respectively connected to the first connecting assembly and the second connecting assembly to drive the first connecting assembly and the second connecting assembly to move.

However, those skilled in the art will readily recognize that some features may be omitted in different situations, or may be replaced by other elements, materials, or methods.

This is to avoid obscuring the core parts of the present application with excessive description. For those skilled in the art, detailed description of these related operations is not necessary; they can fully understand the related operations based on the description in the specification and general technical knowledge in the art.

[0037] Furthermore, the features, operations, or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any suitable manner to form various embodiments, and the operational steps involved in each embodiment can also be rearranged or adjusted in a manner that is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the specification and drawings are only for clearly describing a particular embodiment and do not imply that they represent the necessary composition and / or order.

[0038] The serial numbers assigned to components in this document, such as "first" and "second," are used only to distinguish the described objects and have no sequential or technical meaning. The terms "connection" and "linkage" used in this application, unless otherwise specified, include both direct and indirect connections (linkages).

[0039] To enable simultaneous clamping of multiple materials, this application provides a multi-station positioning and correction device, such as... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the multi-station positioning and correction device may include a base assembly 1, a placement mechanism 2, a first clamping mechanism 3, and a second clamping mechanism 4. The placement mechanism 2 is connected to the base assembly 1 and includes multiple material placement positions 24 for placing materials 5. The first clamping mechanism 3 may include a first connecting component 31, a second connecting component 32, a first clamping component 33, and a second clamping component 34. Several first clamping components 33 are connected to the first connecting component 31, and several second clamping components 34 are connected to the second connecting component 32. The first connecting component 31 and the second connecting component 32 are slidably connected to the base assembly 1 along a first direction, and the first clamping component 33 and the second clamping component 34 are staggered along the first direction. The second clamping mechanism 4 is slidably connected to the base assembly 1 and is used to simultaneously clamp multiple materials 5 on the material placement positions 24 in a second direction. The first direction and the second direction intersect.

[0040] For example, the multi-station positioning and correction device can have a left-right direction (first direction) and a front-back direction (second direction). The placement mechanism 2 can include four material placement positions 24 spaced apart from left to right, each material placement position 24 for placing one material 5. The four first clamping components 33 and the four second clamping components 34 can be spaced apart along the left-right direction, and the first clamping components 33 and the second clamping components 34 are staggered (e.g., ...). Figure 3 As shown in the diagram, a first clamping component 33 and a second clamping component 34 are alternately arranged. A first connecting component 31 can be connected to the first clamping components 33 located at positions 2, 4, 6, and 8, respectively, and a second connecting component 32 can be connected to the second clamping components 34 located at positions 1, 3, 5, and 7, respectively. When the first connecting component 31 and the second connecting component 32 move in opposite directions in the first direction, the first clamping component 33 at position 1 and the second clamping component 34 at position 2 move closer together to clamp the first material 5; the first clamping component 33 at position 3 and the second clamping component 34 at position 4 move closer together to clamp the second material 5; the first clamping component 33 at position 5 and the second clamping component 34 at position 6 move closer together to clamp the third material 5; and the first clamping component 33 at position 7 and the second clamping component 34 at position 8 move closer together to clamp the fourth material 5. This allows the multi-station positioning and correction device to clamp four materials 5 simultaneously.

[0041] This application involves alternately arranging multiple first clamping components 33 and second clamping components 34 along a first direction on the base assembly 1, and connecting the first clamping components 33 and second clamping components 34 via a first connecting component 31 and a second connecting component 32, respectively. This allows the first connecting component 31 and the second connecting component 32 to drive the first clamping components 33 and second clamping components 34 to move synchronously. When the first connecting component 31 and the second connecting component 32 move in opposite directions, the first clamping components 33 and the second clamping components 34 move synchronously in opposite directions. This allows the closely spaced first clamping components 33 and the second clamping components 34 to jointly clamp the material 5, enabling multiple materials 5 on the placement mechanism 2 to be clamped synchronously, significantly improving the processing efficiency of the material 5.

[0042] It is understandable that the placement mechanism 2 can have a greater number of material placement positions 24 along the first direction, thereby increasing the number of materials 5 placed on the placement mechanism 2. Correspondingly, the number of first clamping components 33 and second clamping components 34 provided on the base assembly 1 can be equal to the number of material placement positions 24. When the first connecting component 31 and the second connecting component 32 move in opposite directions, the first clamping component 33 and the second clamping component 34 can jointly clamp a material 5. This application does not impose any special restrictions on the specific number of the first clamping component 33, the second clamping component 34, and the material placement positions 24. Furthermore, the material 5 can be a square bare cell from a lithium battery, a square casing from a lithium battery, or any other square object that needs to be clamped and aligned, besides a lithium battery. This application does not impose any special restrictions on the specific type of material 5.

[0043] For ease of description, the following embodiments will use the left-right direction as the first direction and the front-back direction as the second direction for illustration.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first connecting component 31 may include a first support member 311, and the second connecting component 32 may include a second support member 321; the first support member 311 and the second support member 321 have a length extending along a second direction, a plurality of first clamping components 33 are spaced apart on the first support member 311 along the second direction, and a plurality of second clamping components 34 are spaced apart on the second support member 321 along the second direction, and the first clamping components 33 on the first support member 311 and the corresponding second clamping components 34 on the second support member 321 synchronously clamp a plurality of materials 5.

[0045] For example, the placement mechanism 2 can also hold two rows of materials 5 spaced apart from front to back, with four materials in each row. Since the first support member 311 and the second support member 321 have lengths extending in the front-back direction, multiple first clamping components 33 can be arranged on the first support member 311 in the front-back direction, and multiple second clamping components 34 can be arranged on the second support member 321 in the front-back direction. For example, two first clamping components 33 can be connected to both ends of one first support member 311, and two second clamping components 34 can be connected to both ends of one second support member 321. When the first support member 311 and the second support member 321 approach each other in the left-right direction, the two first clamping components 33 on the first support member 311 and the two second clamping components 34 on the second support member 321 can jointly clamp two materials 5, thereby allowing the first clamping mechanism 3 to simultaneously clamp two rows × four materials 5, improving the processing efficiency of the materials 5.

[0046] In other embodiments, the first support member 311 may be provided with a greater number of first clamping components 33 along the front-back direction, and the second support member 321 may be provided with a greater number of second clamping components 34 along the front-back direction, so that the first clamping mechanism 3 can simultaneously clamp more rows of materials 5. For example, the first support member 311 may be provided with three first clamping components 33 along the front-back direction, and the second support member 321 may be provided with three second clamping components 34 along the front-back direction, so that the first clamping mechanism 3 can simultaneously clamp three rows of materials 5. Combining the number of first support members 311 and second support members 321 provided on the base assembly 1, the first clamping mechanism 3 provided in this application can also realize the clamping and centering of materials 5 in various layout forms such as 2 rows × 6, 3 rows × 5, and 4 rows × 4. This application does not impose any special limitation on the specific number of the first support member 311, the first clamping component 33, the second support member 321, and the second clamping component 34 provided in the first clamping mechanism 3.

[0047] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first clamping assembly 33 may include a first clamping head 331 and a first clamping post 332, and the second clamping assembly 34 may include a second clamping head 341 and a second clamping post 342. The two ends of the first clamping post 332 are respectively connected to the first support member 311 and the first clamping head 331, and the first clamping post 332 extends towards the material discharge position 24, so that the first clamping head 331 is positioned on one side of the material 5. The two ends of the second clamping post 342 are respectively connected to the second support member 321 and the second clamping head 341, and the second clamping post 342 extends towards the material discharge position 24, so that the second clamping head 341 is positioned on the other side of the material 5. When the first clamping head 331 and the second clamping head 341 are close to each other, they are used to clamp the material 5 in a first direction. In other embodiments, the first clamping assembly 33 and the second clamping assembly 34 may also be configured as a bent clamping plate structure. This application does not impose special limitations on the specific structure of the first clamping assembly 33 and the second clamping assembly 34.

[0048] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first clamping mechanism 3 may further include a guide 35 and a sliding member 36, the first connecting assembly 31 may further include a first connecting member 312, and the second connecting assembly 32 may further include a second connecting member 322; the guide 35 is connected to the base assembly 1 along the first direction, and a plurality of sliding members 36 are slidably connected to the guide 35; the first support member 311 and the second support member 321 are respectively connected to the sliding member 36; the first connecting member 312 and the second connecting member 322 extend along the first direction; the first connecting member 312 is respectively connected to a plurality of first support members 311, and the second connecting member 322 is respectively connected to a plurality of second support members 321.

[0049] The first connecting member 312 is connected to several first support members 311, and the second connecting member 322 is connected to several second support members 321. This allows the base assembly 1 to have only one guide member 35, with multiple sliding members 36 slidably connected to the guide member 35. This enables the first connecting member 312 and the second connecting member 322 to drive the first support members 311 and the second support members 321 to move in opposite directions to clamp the material 5, thereby reducing the number of components in the multi-station positioning and correction device. In other embodiments, the base assembly 1 can also have two guide members 35, with multiple sliding members 36 slidably connected to the two guide members 35. The first support members 311 and the second support members 321 are connected to the sliding members 36 on the two guide members 35, similarly allowing the first support members 311 and the second support members 321 to move in opposite directions on the base assembly 1. This application does not impose any special limitation on the specific number of guide members 35 on the base assembly 1.

[0050] In this embodiment, the guide member 35 can be a linear rail connected to the base assembly 1, and the slider 36 can be a slider slidably connected to the linear rail. The first support member 311 and the second support member 321 can be connected to the slider by means of screwing or welding, so that the slider drives the first support member 311 and the second support member 321 to slide on the linear rail. In other embodiments, the guide member 35 can also be a groove opened on the base assembly 1, and the slider 36 can be a pulley slidably connected in the groove, so that the pulley drives the first support member 311 and the second support member 321 to slide in the groove. This application does not impose any special restrictions on the specific structure of the guide member 35 and the slider 36.

[0051] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the second clamping mechanism 4 may include a third clamping component 41 and a fourth clamping component 42. The third clamping component 41 is disposed opposite to the fourth clamping component 42 in the second direction. A plurality of third clamping components 41 are spaced apart along the first direction and slidably connected to the base component 1. A plurality of fourth clamping components 42 are spaced apart along the first direction and connected to the placement mechanism 2. The third clamping components 41 clamp the material 5 in the second direction with the corresponding fourth clamping components 42.

[0052] Taking a layout of 2 rows × 4 units of material 5 as an example, the third clamping component 41 and the fourth clamping component 42 can be respectively arranged on both sides of material 5 along the front-back direction of the multi-station positioning and correction device. The eight third clamping components 41 and eight fourth clamping components 42 can simultaneously clamp eight materials 5 in the front-back direction. Thus, a material 5 can be clamped and centered in the left-right direction by the first clamping mechanism 3, and in the front-back direction by the second clamping mechanism 4, thereby allowing multiple materials 5 to be simultaneously clamped on the placement mechanism 2. In other embodiments, the second clamping mechanism 4 can also adopt the same structural form as the first clamping mechanism 3, that is, the second clamping mechanism 4 can also be connected to the staggered clamping components by two connecting components to simultaneously clamp multiple materials 5 in the second direction. In this case, the second clamping mechanism 4 can be symmetrically arranged with the first clamping mechanism 3 about the placement mechanism 2 to avoid interference between the first clamping mechanism 3 and the second clamping mechanism 4 during movement. This application does not impose special restrictions on the specific structure of the second clamping mechanism 4.

[0053] The third clamping assembly 41 can also be configured as a structure in which a clamping column and a clamping head are connected. For example, the third clamping assembly 41 may include a clamping column, a clamping head, and a base plate 44. The base plate 44 is slidably connected to the base assembly 1. The two ends of the clamping column are respectively connected to the base plate 44 and the clamping head. The clamping column extends towards the material feeding position 24, so that the clamping head is positioned on one side of the material 5. The fourth clamping assembly 42 can be configured as a clamping head structure and directly connected to the placement mechanism 2. In addition, two or more third clamping assemblies 41 can be connected to one base plate 44, so that one base plate 44 can simultaneously drive multiple third clamping assemblies 41 to clamp the material 5. This application does not impose special restrictions on the specific structure of the third clamping assembly 41 and the fourth clamping assembly 42.

[0054] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first clamping assembly 33, the second clamping assembly 34, the third clamping assembly 41 and the fourth clamping assembly 42 are all provided with waist-shaped connecting holes 6. The first clamping assembly 33 and the second clamping assembly 34 are adjusted to their fixed positions in the first clamping mechanism 3 through the waist-shaped connecting holes 6, and the third clamping assembly 41 and the fourth clamping assembly 42 are adjusted to their fixed positions in the second clamping mechanism 4 through the waist-shaped connecting holes 6.

[0055] For example, when the first clamping assembly 33 includes a first clamping head 331 and a first clamping post 332, a waist-shaped connecting hole 6 can be provided on the first clamping head 331 and / or the first clamping post 332, allowing the first clamping head 331 and the first clamping post 332 to be detachably connected through the waist-shaped connecting hole 6. Simultaneously, the first clamping head 331 and the first clamping post 332 can also be adjusted to different connection positions through the waist-shaped connecting hole 6, thereby allowing the first clamping mechanism 3 to select different sizes of the first clamping head 331 and / or the first clamping post 332 according to different specifications of materials 5, thus improving the applicability of the first clamping mechanism 3 to clamping and aligning materials 5 of different specifications. Similarly, waist-shaped connecting holes 6 can also be provided on the second clamping assembly 34, the third clamping assembly 41, and the fourth clamping assembly 42 to select different sizes of clamping heads according to different specifications of materials 5. This application does not impose any special limitations on the specific dimensions of the clamping heads.

[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the storage mechanism 2 may include a storage rack 21 and a support column 22; multiple material placement positions 24 are respectively arranged on the storage rack 21 along the first direction and the second direction; the first clamping component 33, the second clamping component 34, and the third clamping component 41 extend to the material placement positions 24; and the support column 22 is connected between the base assembly 1 and the storage rack 21.

[0057] The shelf 21 is connected to the base assembly 1 via a support column 22, ensuring a certain height between the shelf 21 and the base assembly 1. This avoids interference between the first connecting assembly 31 and the second connecting assembly 32 and the shelf 21 during movement. Furthermore, by connecting and fixing the fourth clamping assembly 42 to the shelf 21, and clamping the material 5 by the movement of the third clamping assembly 41, the need for a drive mechanism for the fourth clamping assembly 42 can be reduced, thereby reducing the number of components in the multi-station positioning and correction device. In some embodiments, such as... Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the first clamping mechanism 3 may further include a first driving member 37, and the second clamping mechanism 4 may further include a second driving member 43; the first driving member 37 and the second driving member 43 are mounted on the base assembly 1, and the two first driving members 37 are respectively connected to the first connecting assembly 31 and the second connecting assembly 32 to drive the first connecting assembly 31 and the second connecting assembly 32 to move; the second driving member 43 is connected to the third clamping assembly 41 to drive the third clamping assembly 41 to move.

[0058] Since the first clamping mechanism 3 moves the first clamping assembly 33 and the second clamping assembly 34 respectively through the first connecting assembly 31 and the second connecting assembly 32, the first clamping mechanism 3 only needs to be equipped with two first driving members 37 to drive the first connecting assembly 31 and the second connecting assembly 32 to move in opposite directions to simultaneously clamp multiple materials 5. Meanwhile, since the fourth clamping assembly 42 is fixedly connected to the shelf 21, the second clamping mechanism 4 only needs to be equipped with a second driving member 43 to drive the third clamping assembly 41, without needing a corresponding driving mechanism for the fourth clamping assembly 42. Therefore, the multi-station positioning and correction device provided in this application can significantly reduce the number of driving mechanisms, thereby reducing the processing cost of clamping and centering the materials 5. The first driving member 37 and the second driving member 43 can be selected from driving mechanisms such as slide cylinders or electric push cylinders; this application does not impose any special restrictions on the specific selection of the first driving member 37 and the second driving member 43.

[0059] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first clamping mechanism 3 may further include a connecting block 38, which can be connected between the first driving member 37 and the first support member 311 (or the second support member 321). The first driving member 37 drives the first connecting component 31 (or the second connecting component 32) to move through the connecting block 38, so as to simultaneously clamp multiple materials 5. In other embodiments, the first driving member 37 may also be directly connected to the first support member 311 or the second support member 321. This application does not impose any special restrictions on whether the first clamping mechanism 3 is provided with a connecting block 38. In addition, the second driving member 43 may be directly connected to the base plate 44 to drive the third clamping component 41 to move through the base plate 44.

[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the multi-station positioning and correction device may also include a controller (not shown in the figure), and the placement mechanism 2 may also include a first sensor 22; the first sensor 22 is installed on the material feeding position 24, and the controller is electrically connected to the first drive member 37, the second drive member 43 and the first sensor 22 respectively. The first sensor 22 is used to sense the material 5 placed on the material feeding position 24, and the controller is used to control the first drive member 37 and the second drive member 43 to operate synchronously.

[0061] For example, the shelf 21 can be provided with a hollowed-out section or a groove, and the first sensor 22 can be installed in the hollowed-out section or groove. When the material 5 is placed on the feeding position 24, the first sensor 22 can sense the material 5 and transmit the signal to the controller. The controller controls the first clamping mechanism 3 and the second clamping mechanism 4 to operate synchronously through the first driving component 37 and the second driving component 43, respectively, to clamp the material 5 synchronously, thereby realizing the automatic clamping and centering of the multi-station positioning and correction device. The first sensor 22 can be an electronic device such as a photoelectric sensor or a proximity sensor. This application does not impose any special restrictions on the specific type of the first sensor 22.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the base assembly 1 may include a base 11 and a blocking assembly 12; the placement mechanism 2, the first clamping mechanism 3 and the second clamping mechanism 4 are all mounted on the base 11, and at least two blocking assemblies 12 are connected to both sides of the base 11 along a first direction to restrict the position of the first connecting assembly 31 and the second connecting assembly 32.

[0063] For example, the base 11 can be configured as a plate structure with front-back and left-right directions. Two blocking components 12 can be connected to both sides of the base 11 in the left-right direction, allowing the first connecting component 31 and the second connecting component 32 to move between the two blocking components 12, thereby preventing the first connecting component 31 and the second connecting component 32 from disengaging from the guide 35 on the base 11 during movement, thus ensuring the smooth operation of the first clamping mechanism 3. The second clamping mechanism 4 can be connected to both sides of the base 11 in the front-back direction, allowing the first clamping mechanism 3 to clamp the material 5 in the left-right direction and the second clamping mechanism 4 to clamp the material 5 in the front-back direction. This application does not impose any special restrictions on the specific positions of the first clamping mechanism 3 and the second clamping mechanism 4 on the base 11.

[0064] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the blocking assembly 12 may include a mounting base 121, a collision avoidance member 122, and a second sensor 123. The mounting base 121 is connected to the base 11, and the collision avoidance member 122 and the second sensor 123 are connected to the mounting base 121. The collision avoidance member 122 is used to flexibly contact the first clamping mechanism 3, and the second sensor 123 is electrically connected to the controller. The second sensor 123 is used to detect the distance between the collision avoidance member 122 and the first clamping mechanism 3.

[0065] When the first connecting component 31 and the second connecting component 32 move, the second sensor 123 can detect the distance between the first connecting component 31 or the second connecting component 32 and the anti-collision member 122. Therefore, when the first connecting component 31 or the second connecting component 32 is about to touch the anti-collision member 122, the controller will stop the first driving component 37 to prevent the first connecting component 31 and the second connecting component 32 from colliding with the anti-collision member 122. The second sensor 123 can be an electronic device such as a laser sensor or an ultrasonic sensor. This application does not impose any special restrictions on the specific type of the second sensor 123. Furthermore, the anti-collision member 122 can be made of flexible silicone, rubber, or other elastic materials to prevent damage to the first connecting component 31 or the second connecting component 32 due to rigid contact with the anti-collision member 122. This application does not impose any special restrictions on the specific material of the anti-collision member 122.

[0066] The above-described specific examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains can make various simple deductions, modifications, or substitutions based on the concept of this invention.
