Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an automated battery module tape and resin removal system.

[0002] This application claims the benefit of priority based on Korean Patent Application No. 10-2021-0117211 dated September 2, 2021, and all contents disclosed in the documents of that Korean patent application are incorporated herein by reference. [Background technology]

[0003] A battery module is constructed by stacking multiple battery cells, and the exterior is covered by a casing. In the manufacturing process of the battery module, liquid resin may be injected as a heat dissipation material into the space inside the pack to compactly fill it in order to prevent the temperature inside the casing from rising and to fix and protect the cells in a predetermined position. In order to check that the resin is firmly solidified while embedded inside the pack, multiple check holes are formed in a row on the outside of the casing, and tape, which is an adhesive material that covers the check holes, is attached. Openings are perforated in the tape at positions corresponding to the check holes. When the resin is filled inside the pack and solidifies to occupy all of the space, protruding parts are generated that protrude through the check holes and the openings in the tape.

[0004] During the test process, when the tape attached to the battery module casing is removed (primary removal), the tape and the resin that protrudes through the openings in the tape are also removed, but since some resin still remains protruding out through the check hole, this is removed with a knife (secondary removal). This cleans the outer surface of the casing so that it is flush, giving the casing a smooth appearance.

[0005] However, in the current process, two workers are required to remove the tape, remove the resin, and perform the visual inspection, respectively, which results in problems such as the need for two people's labor, the difference in the speed of the removal process between the workers, and the laborious removal of the tape and resin.

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the inventors decided to develop an automatic tape and resin removal system for battery modules that uses a multi-axis automatic robot to automatically remove the tape and resin. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0008] The present invention has been devised to solve the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a new structure for automatic tape and resin removal system for battery modules that can automatically, quickly and reliably remove tape and resin exposed to the outside of a battery module, thereby increasing production yields, reducing labor hours and cutting costs. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] The automatic removal system for automatically removing tape and resin exposed to the outside of a battery module according to the present invention includes a removal assembly having a removal device for removing the tape and resin, and an automatic multi-axis robot connected to the removal assembly and driven to remove the tape and resin of the battery module.

[0010] In an embodiment, the removal device includes a first removal device for removing the tape and the resin attached to the tape.

[0011] In another embodiment, the removal device further comprises a second removal device for removing resin remaining on the battery module after the resin is removed by the first removal device.

[0013] In another embodiment, the transfer shuttle includes a pair of long transfer rails extending adjacent to each other, and the battery modules are loaded onto the transfer rails and moved to the front alignment section.

[0014] In a specific example, the alignment unit includes a stopper and a pair of pressure means provided on the outside of each of the transport rails, and the pressure means includes a pressure rod that enters or retreats from the inside of the transport rail. The pressure rod presses the side or rear surface of the battery module when it enters the inside of the transport rail, and the stopper blocks the forward movement of the battery module, thereby fixing the battery module in a predetermined position.

[0015] In a specific example, the automatic removal system further includes an air blowing module including an injection nozzle arranged to inject high pressure air, and the compressed air ejected from the injection nozzle can peel a portion of the tape off the casing of the battery module and direct it in a certain direction, thereby making it easier for the first removal device of the removal assembly to grasp the tape.

[0016] In another embodiment, the automated removal system further includes a cleaning device that contacts the second removal apparatus to remove residual resin from the second removal apparatus.

[0017] In another embodiment, the automated removal system further includes a collection station for collecting the tape attached to the first removal device.

[0018] In a specific example, the first removal devices are arranged side by side along one side of the base of the removal assembly, each comprising a downwardly extending rod and a gripper integrally formed on the front end of the rod.

[0019] In another embodiment, the first removal device comprises a block arranged along one side of the base of the removal assembly toward the underside, and a scraper attached to the underside of the block for removing the tape and resin.

[0020] In this case, the second removal device may include a support bracket or block formed on the side opposite to the side on which the first removal device is arranged, and a knife or scraper provided on the support bracket or block to remove resin.

[0021] In a specific example, the automated multi-axis robot is a multi-joint structure including a body, a first robot arm connected to the body, and a second robot arm connected to the first robot arm, the end of which in turn has a pivotable drive arm and a coupling portion for coupling to a base of a removal assembly.

[0022] In another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for automatically removing tape and resin exposed outside a battery module using the above-mentioned automatic removal system, comprising the steps of moving a first removal device along a direction of the tape attached to the battery module to remove the tape and the resin attached to the tape.

[0023] In an embodiment, the method further includes moving a second removal device in a direction perpendicular to the tape attached to the battery module to remove the remaining resin. Effect of the Invention

[0024] The present invention uses an automated multi-axis robot to automatically remove tape and resin from battery modules, which is quick and accurate and significantly increases the work speed.

[0025] The automated multi-axis robot of the present invention can freely rotate, bend, and move parallel to one another, and can be equipped with tape and resin removal devices to remove tape and resin from battery modules in a variety of ways, providing good adaptability and compatibility according to the work environment.

[0026] The automatic removal system of the present invention is an unmanned device, which can save man-hours and the associated labor costs, and is therefore economical and can reduce costs. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0031] The present invention will be described in detail below.

[0032] 1 is a configuration diagram showing an automatic tape and resin removal system 1 for a battery module B according to the present invention. Tape T is an example of an attachment material, and resin R is an example of a heat dissipation material, but other materials that achieve the same function are also applicable, and these terms do not limit the scope of the present invention.

[0033] The automatic removal system 1 of the present invention includes a control unit 100 that functions as an MCU (Main Control Unit) for the entire system, an automatic multi-axis robot 10, a transfer shuttle 20, an alignment unit 30, a transfer module 40, a removal assembly 50, a blower module 60, and a cleaning device 70. These members are connected to the control unit 100 by wire or wirelessly, and are driven by signals from the control unit 100.

[0034] The battery module B transferred by the transfer module 40 moves along the transfer shuttle 20 and is fixed at a predetermined position by the alignment unit 30, and the tape T and resin R are removed by driving the removal assembly 50 coupled to the automated multi-axis robot 10. The removal assembly 50 is cleaned by the cleaning device 70, the tape T is collected in a collection unit not shown in FIG. 1, the battery module B that has been cleaned is moved for another task, and the automated multi-axis robot 10 returns to its original position and waits for the supply of the next battery module B.

[0035] In the present invention, by repeating the above-described automatic removal work cycle, the tape T and resin R of a large amount of battery modules B can be removed quickly and reliably.

[0036] Fig. 2 illustrates an example of the automatic removal system 1 of the present invention according to Fig. 1. In the following description, in order to clearly understand the present invention, illustrations and descriptions of motors, pneumatic actuators, cylinders, cables, etc., which are naturally included in a typical automatic process system, will be omitted unless otherwise specified.

[0037] The battery module B, which has completed stacking of the battery cells, injection of the resin R, and attachment of the tape T, moves from the unloader 1004 to the conveyor 1000 and moves along the x-axis direction. The conveyor 1000 is arranged long along the x-axis direction, and the automated multi-axis robot 10, the transfer shuttle 20, and the alignment unit 30 are generally arranged along the y-axis direction perpendicular to the x-axis direction. The unloader 1004, the conveyor 1000, and the movement of the battery module B associated therewith are exemplified based on the current process system, and various modifications are possible, such as supplying the battery module B immediately in front of the transfer shuttle 20.

[0038] The transfer module (40) is provided adjacent to the conveyor 1000 and the transfer shuttle 20. The transfer module 40 includes a fixed stand 42 at the bottom, a rotating body 44 that is provided on the fixed stand 42 and can rotate left and right, and has an MCU built in, and an extension arm 46 that extends long from one side of the rotating body 44 and can rotate left and right and up and down. A large and heavy tong-shaped battery gripper 48 is provided at the front end of the extension arm 46. The grippers of the battery gripper 48 can rotate between a grip position where the tips rotate close to each other to firmly grip the battery module B, and a non-grip position where the tips rotate away from each other to separate from the battery module B.

[0039] 2, when a battery position detection sensor (not shown) detects that the battery module B has arrived at a predetermined position on the conveyor 1000, the extension arm 46 rotates by a predetermined angle to face both sides of the battery module B, and the battery gripper 48 moves inward toward the side to assume a gripping position where it presses against the side of the battery module B. In this state, the extension arm 46 is rotated upward, and the rotating body 44 is rotated toward the transfer shuttle 20, and then the extension arm 46 is rotated downward to place the battery module B on the transfer shuttle 20. When the transfer process of the battery module B is completed in this manner, the battery gripper 48 can be switched to a non-grip position.

[0040] The above describes one example of the transfer module 40, and any device structure may be suitably adopted as long as it can perform the function of transferring the battery module B from the conveyor 1000 to the alignment section 30. In addition, the application of the transfer module 40 is not limited, and may be applied to battery modules B that are loaded and transported by a rotating turntable instead of the conveyor 1000.

[0041] Next, before describing the structures of the transfer shuttle 20 and the alignment unit 30, the automated multi-axis robot 10 and removal assembly 50 of the present invention will be described.

[0042] In the automatic removal system 1, the automatic multi-axis robot 10 is separated from a platform 200 on which other members are mounted so as to ensure sufficient working space.

[0043] As shown in FIG. 3, the automatic multi-axis robot 10 of the present invention has a multi-joint structure including a body 120, a first robot arm 108 connected to the body 120 via a boss 110 and extended upward, and a second robot arm 102 extended horizontally from the end of the first robot arm 108. A pivotable driving arm 104 is connected to the end of the second robot arm 102, and a coupling part 106 is formed at the end of the driving arm 104 to be coupled to the removal assembly 50. An MCU is built in the body 120 and communicates with the control unit 100. The first robot arm 108 rotates freely in three-dimensional space to set basic positions up, down, left and right, and the second robot arm 102 rotates and bends. The driving arm 104 is connected to a spindle of the second robot arm 102 and independently bends and swings.

[0044] The above-mentioned automatic multi-axis robot 10 is merely an example, and its structure can be modified to suit the working environment. For example, the joint 106 can be made finger-shaped, or the arm can be used as an independent arm to perform other functions, and the automatic multi-axis robot 10 can be integrated into the platform 200 with a compact structure.

[0045] The coupling 106 of the autonomous multi-axis robot 10 is coupled to the removal assembly 50 such that actuation of the former allows the latter to move, pivot, rotate, and articulate freely.

[0046] 4, the removal assembly 50 of the present invention includes a flat base 52, and a first removal device 54 arranged in line along one side of the lower surface of the base 52, the first removal device 54 being composed of rods 54a each extending vertically downward and a tong-like gripper 54b integrally formed at the front end of the rods 54a. The front surface of the base 52 is connected to a connection portion 106 of a drive arm 104 of the automatic multi-axis robot 10.

[0047] Gripper 54b, similar to battery gripper 48, is pivotable between a gripping position in which the tips of the grippers rotate toward each other to firmly grip tape T, and a non-grip position in which the tips rotate away from each other to separate from tape T.

[0048] The gripper 54b can be modified in various ways, for example, by replacing it with a flat pad having an embossing or mesh structure to which the tape T can be attached.

[0049] On the side opposite to the side on which the first removal device 54 is arranged, a plurality of support brackets 502 are arranged in a row, and a second removal device 504 functioning as a knife for removing resin R is attached to the inlet of each support bracket 502.

[0050] The above is an example of the structure and operation of the removal assembly 50, and it is obvious that the following modifications are possible.

[0051] First, when the tapes T are arranged in only one row in the battery module B, only one first removal device 54 and one second removal device 504 may be installed, and the size and number of the first removal device 54 and the second removal device 504 may be variously changed according to the size of the battery module B and the alignment position and number of the check holes. In this regard, it is preferable that the removal assembly 50 of the present invention is of a replaceable type that is detachable from the automatic multi-axis robot 10 so as to facilitate modification and maintenance.

[0052] Secondly, in many cases, the tape T and the resin R can be completely removed by the first removing operation, in which case the second removing device 504 may be omitted. In this case, it can be said that the first removing device 54 also has the function of the second removing device 504.

[0053] As a second such embodiment, FIG. 5 illustrates a perspective view of a removal assembly 50 according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0054] A plurality of blocks 510 are provided on one side of the underside of the base 52 in a direction perpendicular to the underside, and a scraper (512) is attached to the underside of each block 510. The removal assembly 50 is configured so that the scraper 512 moves along the longer side, i.e., the longitudinal direction, of the casing of the battery module B and contacts most of the upper surface of the casing in the left-right direction, and can clean all materials protruding above the upper surface by moving parallel to the casing. In other words, the operation of simultaneously adhering the tape T and the resin R and simultaneously removing them by applying the same force can be performed sequentially on a plurality of rows of tapes T attached along the width direction of the casing.

[0055] In the case of the second embodiment of the present invention, the working time can be further reduced as compared to the first embodiment.

[0056] The block 510 and scraper 512 of the second embodiment of the present invention may be modified in various ways, such as replacing the second removal device 504 of the first embodiment or being added in parallel to the removal assembly 50 of the first embodiment.

[0057] Next, the transfer shuttle 20, the alignment section 30, the blowing module 60 and the cleaning device 70 of the present invention will be described with reference to the perspective view of FIG.

[0058] The transfer shuttle 20 of the present invention includes a pair of long transfer rails 22 extending adjacent to each other. That is, the transfer shuttle 20 has a belt structure similar to a conveyor. The width of the transfer rails 22 is manufactured to a size sufficient to support the length of the battery module B. The loading / unloading module 40 places the battery module B on the transfer rails 22 so that the battery module B is exactly perpendicular to the moving direction of the transfer rails 22. The placed battery module B moves forward along the transfer rails 22 and is supplied to the alignment unit 30.

[0059] The alignment unit 30 of the present invention includes a front stopper 32 and a pair of cylinder actuators 34 as pressure means provided on the outer sides of the respective transfer rails 22 .

[0060] The stopper 32 is provided at a predetermined position on the platform 200 so as to protrude longitudinally in the width direction, and prevents the battery module B from moving forward any further.

[0061] The cylinder actuator 34 includes a pressure rod 36 that is advanced into or retreated from the inside of the transfer rail 22 by piston drive inside the body. The pressure rod 36 advances or retreats in a direction inclined to the transfer rail 22 to apply pressure from behind to both corners of the side or rear surface of the battery module B. The left and right cylinder actuators 34 may be connected by a bridge 38 so as to operate simultaneously in real time.

[0062] In the present invention, the front stopper 32 and the two pressure rods 36 inserted into the transfer rail 22 must firmly grip both the front and rear sides of the battery module B, respectively, and stably fix the position so that the battery module B does not shake or move slightly during the removal operation. Therefore, the distance between the stopper 32 and the pressure rods 36 is also determined according to the width of the battery module B.

[0063] The blower module 60 of the present invention includes a plurality of injection nozzles 62 arranged to inject high-pressure air. The openings of the injection nozzles 62 face upward, and the compressed air discharged from the injection nozzles 62 flows from bottom to top at the front surface of the battery module B, so that a part of the tape T is peeled off from the casing and faces upward. This operation helps the gripper 54b of the removal assembly 50 to grip the tape T.

[0064] The cleaning device 70 of the present invention includes a cleaner 72, which is made of an elastic material with a brush or brush structure formed on its outer surface to remove resin from, for example, a knife or scraper serving as the second removing device, and is manufactured in, for example, a roll shape. The removing assembly 50 may contact the cleaner 72 while reciprocating to remove the resin, or the cleaner 72 may rotate with the removing assembly 50 fixed. In addition, the cleaning device 70 may be modified in various ways, such as by replacing it with a nozzle that sprays high-pressure air, as long as the same purpose is achieved.

[0065] A collecting section 80 is provided in front of the cleaning device 70 along the height direction of the platform 200. The tape T gripped by the first removal device 54 falls and is collected in the collecting section 80. The collecting section 80 is preferably in a box shape and is replaceably attached to the platform 200.

[0066] Next, the removal operation will be described with reference to the automatic multi-axis robot 10 and the removal assembly 50 in the automatic removal system 1 of the present invention described above with reference to FIGS.

[0067] Three rows of tapes T are attached to the upper surface of the casing of the battery module B in the width direction, and three first removal devices 54 and three second removal devices 504 are also attached accordingly. When the MCU of the automated multi-axis robot 10 is driven by a signal from the control unit 100, the removal assembly 50 can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise according to the drive arm 104, or move forward or backward along the y-axis direction.

[0068] The removal assembly 50 is positioned adjacent to the front upper surface of the battery module B with the base 52 approximately vertical, and the gripper 54b is adjacent to the tape T, and then the removal assembly 50 is rotated to position the tape T in the space between the grippers 54b. When the gripper 54b is switched to a gripping position to close the space, the tape T is gripped, and when the removal assembly 50 is rotated counterclockwise, the gripped tape T is lifted from the outer surface of the casing. When the removal assembly 50 is translated along the direction A', the tape T is gradually separated, and the tape T and the resin R attached thereto are removed together. The gripping operation of the tape T is further facilitated by the blowing of air from the spray nozzle 62. This operation state is shown in FIG. 7a.

[0069] In this state, when the removal assembly 50 is moved along the direction B' to the collecting section 80 and the gripper 54b is released to the non-grip state, the tape T automatically falls by gravity and is collected in a box.

[0070] Then, in order to completely remove the resin R remaining on the upper surface of the casing, the automatic multi-axis robot 10 is driven to rotate the removal assembly 50 vertically, and then the second removal device 504 is positioned to contact the upper surface of the casing along the longitudinal direction of the battery module B, and the removal assembly 50 is then moved linearly along the longitudinal direction. This operation state is shown in FIG. 7b. Through this process, the resin R remaining on the casing is removed.

[0071] The automated multi-axis robot 10 is then driven to rotate the removal assembly 50 vertically, and then move it again along direction B' to the cleaning device 70 to contact the cleaner 72, thereby removing the resin R attached to the second removal device 504.

[0072] Alternatively, unlike FIG. 7b, for example, after removing the tape T, the removal assembly 50 can be slowly rotated clockwise in the opposite direction to that described above to position the tip of the knife, which is the second removal device 504, in contact with the upper surface of the casing, and then moved parallel along direction B' to remove the remaining resin R.

[0073] FIG. 8 illustrates an embodiment in which the top surface of the casing has been cleaned using the automated multi-axis robot 10 and removal assembly 50 of the present invention.

[0074] In the present invention, the tape T and resin R can be removed reliably and quickly in a variety of ways based on the free rotation and movement of the automated multi-axis robot 10.

[0075] When all of the tape T and resin R from the battery module B have been removed by the above steps, the automatic multi-axis robot 10 returns to its initial position. The pressure rod 36 of the cylinder actuator 34 retreats and leaves the area of ​​the transfer rail 22, the fixed state of the battery module B is released, and the battery module B moves linearly this time in the opposite direction due to the rotation of the transfer rail 22 to the location of the transfer module 40. The transfer module 40 operates in the reverse order to that described with reference to Fig. 2 to place the battery module B again on the conveyor 1000, and the battery module B is transferred along the conveyor 1000 to the subsequent work process.

[0076] The above describes one example of the finishing process, and various modifications are possible, such as using an automatic arm (not shown) to move the battery module B from which the tape T and resin R have been removed from the alignment unit 30 to an adjacent workbench.

[0077] The above description is merely an illustrative example of the technical concept of the present invention, and various modifications and variations may be made by a person having ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention pertains without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention.

[0078] Therefore, the drawings disclosed in the present invention are for explanation and not for limiting the technical idea of ​​the present invention, and the scope of the technical idea of ​​the present invention is not limited by such drawings. The scope of protection of the present invention should be interpreted by the claims, and all technical ideas within the equivalent range should be interpreted as being included in the scope of the present invention.
