Battery Grabbing with Pre-Detection for Qualified Cell Handling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing battery grabbing devices have low automation levels and fail to consistently grab qualified batteries, requiring manual intervention and lacking automated quality control.
Innovation Solution
A battery grabbing device equipped with a detection apparatus to identify qualified batteries, a battery grabbing apparatus to selectively grasp qualified batteries, and a tray grabbing apparatus to automate the removal of trays, enhancing automation and accuracy.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If a battery grabbing apparatus is used to grab batteries in a tray, then the automation level increases, but the device cannot distinguish qualified batteries from unqualified ones, resulting in low grabbing accuracy
Solution Approach 1:
The detection apparatus performs quality detection of batteries before the grabbing apparatus grabs them. The detection apparatus captures images of batteries in the tray, processes these images to determine qualification status, and only then does the grabbing apparatus grab qualified batteries. This preliminary detection action ensures high grabbing accuracy while maintaining automation.
2Ease of operation
If the tray is left on the workbench after battery grabbing, then manual intervention is required to remove the tray, but this reduces the automation level
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges the battery grabbing function with the tray removal function into one automated operation. After the grabbing apparatus grabs a qualified battery, the same grabbing apparatus automatically removes the tray from the workbench. This combination eliminates manual intervention for tray removal and maintains high automation level throughout the process.
3Productivity
If the battery grabbing apparatus grabs batteries without quality detection, then the grabbing speed is fast, but the probability of grabbing qualified batteries is low
Solution Approach 1:
The detection apparatus performs quality detection before the grabbing apparatus operates. Images of batteries are captured and processed to identify qualified ones, and only then does the grabbing apparatus grab batteries. This preliminary detection ensures high reliability of grabbed batteries while maintaining efficient automation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback control where the detection apparatus continuously monitors battery quality and provides real-time qualification information to the grabbing apparatus. Based on this feedback, the grabbing apparatus adjusts its grabbing actions to ensure only qualified batteries are grabbed, maintaining high reliability while preserving productivity.
