Alternating Battery Piece Pick-and-Place for Soldering Stringers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional battery piece feeding devices have low feeding efficiency due to the use of a single picking mechanism, which limits the speed and accuracy of placing battery pieces onto soldering conveying devices.
Innovation Solution
A battery piece feeding device with two alternately operating picking mechanisms that simultaneously pick up and lay battery pieces onto a soldering conveying device, along with a moving mechanism and adjustable tool picking portion to enhance efficiency and accommodate different sizes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a single picking mechanism is used, then the device complexity is low, but the feeding efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The picking mechanism is divided into two independent picking units (first picking unit and second picking unit), each capable of independently picking and placing battery pieces. This segmentation allows parallel operation, doubling the feeding efficiency while maintaining manageable complexity through modular design
Solution Approach 2:
Two picking mechanisms are combined into one integrated feeding device, sharing common components such as the control system, moving mechanism, and mounting structure. This merging achieves high feeding efficiency through parallel operation while avoiding the full complexity of two completely separate devices
2Productivity
If two picking mechanisms are used to operate alternately, then the feeding efficiency is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The two picking mechanisms operate in periodic alternation, with each mechanism performing a complete pick-and-place cycle while the other prepares for the next cycle. This periodic coordination maximizes throughput by ensuring continuous operation without requiring both mechanisms to work simultaneously on the same task
Solution Approach 2:
While one picking mechanism is picking up battery pieces, the other mechanism is already positioned and prepared to place the previously picked pieces. This preliminary preparation of the second mechanism ensures seamless alternation and maintains high feeding efficiency

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a battery piece feeding device and a soldering stringer, the battery piece feeding device is configured to lay battery pieces onto a soldering conveying device, the battery piece feeding device includes two picking mechanisms, both of the picking mechanisms are configured to alternately pick up the battery pieces from a battery piece picking position and lay the picked battery pieces onto the soldering conveying device. When one picking mechanism picks up the battery piece from the battery piece picking position, the other picking mechanism lays the picked battery piece onto the soldering conveying device. By arranging the two picking mechanisms and controlling the two picking mechanisms to alternately pick up the battery pieces from the battery piece picking position and lay the picked battery pieces onto the soldering conveying device, the battery piece feeding device greatly improves the battery piece feeding efficiency.
