Example two:
in the in-line working environment of the first embodiment, a vacuum belt with negative pressure is used to transfer the pole pieces from the die cutting equipment or the laminating equipment directly to the laminating equipment. The transfer belts are not of equal length due to factors such as equipment space or layout of the lamination stations. In the multi-station lamination equipment, the intervals of the belt conveying pole pieces are required to be equal as much as possible, and in the transfer process, the pole pieces cannot stop at the joint of the belt and the belt when the belt stops.
Therefore, during structural design, reasonable layout lamination stations need to be considered, corresponding to pole pieces with different sizes, and the lamination taking station is ensured to be always at the last position of each section of belt. Since a piece of equipment is generally compatible with small and large scale production, the design process often fails to ensure that all types of cell pole pieces are within the range of pole pieces available for lamination. Therefore, the production line cannot meet the processing requirements of pole pieces of all models (sizes). The lamination taking positions cannot be flexibly arranged, and the cost is increased due to the replacement of equipment.
This embodiment will suggest a transfer line having a segmented structure, which comprises a first segmented transfer line 11 and a second segmented transfer line 12, as shown in fig. 3 and 4. The first and second segment conveying lines 11 and 12 respectively include a motor and a conveying belt 15. The conveying belt moves under the driving of the motor and is used for conveying the battery core pole pieces on the conveying belt. The negative pressure cavity 14 is arranged inside the conveying belt 15 and generates negative pressure to adsorb the battery pole pieces on the conveying belt 15. Because of the structural limitation, the negative pressure cavity 14 is not arranged at the transition interval, and the pole pieces cannot be effectively prevented from slipping in the transportation process because the negative pressure cavity is not arranged, however, the best speed matching between the two segmental conveying lines is easily realized because the negative pressure cavity is not arranged.
The first and second segment transfer lines 11 and 12 may have the same length, but for engineering design, it is often necessary to design the first and second segment transfer lines 11 and 12 having different lengths. The pole piece appears fold or phenomenon of skidding easily when the joint between the transfer chain is transmitted this moment.
Therefore, on one hand, the first segment conveying line 11 and the second segment conveying line 12 which are arranged in a joint mode are set to be different in length so as to meet engineering requirements, and on the other hand, transmission of pole pieces at the joint position with the transition interval 13 is designed. Specifically, an image acquisition device is arranged to acquire the positions of the cell pole pieces conveyed on the first subsection conveying line and the second subsection conveying line; and the motor controller is matched with the image acquisition device for use, and respectively controls the movement speeds of the conveying belts of the first segmental conveying line and the second segmental conveying line according to the position of the battery pole piece acquired by the image acquisition device. The image acquisition device can be arranged above the conveying line and acquires the position data of the battery cell pole piece on the conveying line along the vertical downward direction. The position data obtained by the pattern acquisition device can be used for respectively adjusting the speeds of the two conveying lines, so that the pole piece is ensured to be difficult to slip, wrinkle and the like when passing through the transition interval 13 as much as possible.
The technical scheme based on this embodiment can reach beneficial effect: the different length segmentation transfer chain of design, phenomenons such as the pole piece appears skidding when guaranteeing the pole piece to transmit on the transfer chain, fold can satisfy the pole piece of multiple size and transmit on the transfer chain.
Example three:
the scheme of the present embodiment will be further described below on the basis of the second embodiment, with reference to fig. 7.
In the foregoing conveying line with a segmented structure, the controlling, by the motor controller, the movement speeds of the conveying belts of the first segmented conveying line and the second segmented conveying line, respectively, according to the positions of the cell pole pieces acquired by the image acquisition device includes:
the controller respectively controls the first subsection conveying line and the second subsection conveying line to move for different distances at different speeds according to the position of the battery core pole piece acquired by the image acquisition device so as to convey the pole piece to the transition interval;
and the controller controls the first subsection conveying line and the second subsection conveying line to convey the pole pieces to pass through the transition interval at the same speed when the pole pieces pass through the transition interval according to the position of the battery core pole piece acquired by the image acquisition device.
And the controller respectively controls the first section conveying line and the second section conveying line to move for different preset distances at different speeds after the pole pieces pass through the transition interval (13) according to the position of the battery core pole piece acquired by the image acquisition device.
In one example, the first and second segment conveying lines are controlled to move by a first length (o) and a second length (a), respectively, after being started. In the process, the first subsection conveying line and the second subsection conveying line are in a non-uniform speed process, different distances are carried out in the same time period, and the foremost pole pieces on the two conveying lines are conveyed to the edge of the conveying lines at the same time, namely the pole pieces are about to enter the transition interval 13. Thereafter, throughout the passage of the pole piece through the transition space 13, the two transport lines will remain transporting at the same rate, both transport lines moving at the same rate over a distance d, d being the length of one pole piece. For design reasons, the distance of the constant-speed movement may be a correction value δ d which is slightly larger than d and is added on the basis of the distance d, wherein δ d takes the size and the error of the transition interval into consideration.
After the pole piece has passed the transition gap 13, the two lines will continue to move the distance p and b at different rates so that the position of the pole piece on the belt is equivalent to completing one cycle back to the distance o and a from the line edge, respectively. In this process, the correction introduced when the pole piece passes through the transition interval 13 is taken into account for subtraction.
And then, the control system transmits the film position information on the belt and informs a manipulator at a station near the belt to take the film or take pictures and the like. And (5) finishing the action of the stations near the belt, and repeating the steps.
The control process reflects the speed curve and an electronic cam table established by a PLC program, wherein the cam number in the table is composed of three key points according to the situation. The connection between points uses 3 times curve, straight line, 3 times curve respectively.
And operating the compiled PLC and recording an operating curve.
"run cam table to parameter 1", this section of belt 1 and belt 2 run "HM I feeding belt 1L 1" at the speed calculated by the electronic cam, it can be seen that the belt 1 and belt 2 and the virtual spindle speed are different from each other.
"run cam table to parameter 2" this section of belt 1 and belt 2 run "HM I feeding belt 1L1+ pole piece width" at the speed calculated by the electronic cam. The speed of the section of belt 1, the belt 2 and the virtual main shaft is constant, and the pole piece is ensured not to have position deviation when the belt and the belt are in transition.
"run cam table to parameter 3" the length of belt 1 and belt 2 run "HM I loading belt 1L 2" at electronically cammed speed, each belt speed being related to position setting.
The technical scheme based on this embodiment can reach beneficial effect: the different length segmentation transfer chain of design, phenomenons such as the pole piece appears skidding when guaranteeing the pole piece to transmit on the transfer chain, fold can satisfy the pole piece of multiple size and transmit on the transfer chain. The pole pieces with unequal intervals on different belts are transferred, the belts run smoothly in the transfer process, and the pole pieces do not shake or shift relative positions.
Example four:
the present embodiment will further describe the structure of the conveying line on the basis of the foregoing embodiments, with reference to fig. 5 and 6:
conveyor belt 15 sets up on the transfer chain bed frame, the motor is through driving the cam rotation on the transfer chain bed frame to drive conveyor belt 15 winds the transfer chain bed frame circulation rotates.
The moving speed of the conveyor belt 15 can be controlled by controlling the rotational speed of the cam.
And a piece taking station is arranged on one side of the conveying belt, and a piece taking manipulator and/or a pole piece posture recognition sensor are/is arranged on the piece taking station.
The station pick robot is shown in fig. 7-9. For the sake of clarity of the description of the present embodiment, the direction in which the manipulator slides horizontally along the guide rail is defined as the 'X' direction, and the motor driving the manipulator to move in the X direction is an X-axis motor, which may be a linear motor. The motor body may be mounted on a back plate, connected by a back plate guide rail, and at the same time, the motor body may slide up and down in a vertical direction with respect to the back plate, the vertical direction being defined as a 'Z' direction, and a direction perpendicular to the 'X' and 'Z' directions being a 'Y' direction. The entire motor may be driven by a linear motor to slide in the X direction, or may be driven by a Z-axis servo motor 1101 to move up and down in the Z direction.
The moving motor body in the Z direction includes a main frame plate 1111 having an 'L' shape, i.e., a horizontal plate 11111 and a vertical plate 11112 perpendicular to each other. Vertical board 11112 is driven by the Z-axis servo motor, specifically, the Z-axis servo motor is connected with a vertical ball screw 1104, and the vertical board 11112 of the 'L' -shaped main frame board is connected with the ball screw 1104, and when the Z-axis servo motor generates driving force, it is a rotating torque force, and this torque force is converted into the driving force of the vertical direction through the ball screw 1104, so that when the Z-axis servo motor is driven, the ball screw can be driven, and the ball screw moves the main frame board up and down in the Z direction through its connection with the vertical board 11112.
The main frame plate 1111 also has a horizontal plate 11111 part, which moves in the X direction and the Z direction along with the movement of the main frame plate, and the horizontal chassis plate is loaded with the deviation rectifying device, on one hand, the deviation rectifying device 1112 is installed on the horizontal plate 11111 through a Y-axis electric cylinder 1107 and a Y-direction slide rail, and when the Y-axis electric cylinder generates driving force, the deviation rectifying device is driven to move in the Y direction along the Y-direction slide rail; on the other hand, the deviation correcting device is connected with a sucker plate 1108 arranged below the main frame plate 1111 through a rotating shaft 11121, and the sucker plate 1108 can rotate by taking the rotating shaft as the center; on the side of the suction plate remote from the axis of rotation there is a cam shaft 1106, the centre of the suction plate 1108 being parallel to the Y-axis when the cam shaft is in a rest position, and the cam structure causing the suction plate to deviate from being parallel to the Y-axis when the cam shaft is rotated, which deviation is defined as the angle of the theta-axis. The angle through which the suction plate rotates with respect to the Y axis is called an angle θ due to the driving of the cam structure, and the posture of the suction plate can be controlled by controlling the cam shaft by a servo motor 1105 of the axis θ to control the angle.
For example, in one example, the deflection of the sucker plate swinging on the X axis is 15mm by setting the diameter difference between the long side and the short side of the cam shaft, the rotation radius from the cam shaft 1106 to the rotation center 11121 is 270mm, and the angle θ can be obtained by the deflection distance and the rotation radius.
This angle is typically between-2 ° and 2 °, but values within 2 ° or slightly larger, for example no larger than 5 °, may also be used depending on the operating conditions.
Therefore, after the sucker plate sucks up one pole piece, the sucker plate can be controlled to rotate through the theta-axis servo motor 1105 so as to adjust the angle of the pole piece, and the Y-axis electric cylinder drives the deviation correcting part to move on the Y axis so as to adjust the position of the pole piece in the Y direction; the position of the pole piece in the X-axis direction is adjusted through the driving of an X-axis motor, and the position of the pole piece in the Z direction is adjusted through a Z-axis servo motor and a ball screw.
In the working process, the standard posture and the spacing of the pole pieces are set through an industrial personal computer. After the sucker plate absorbs one pole piece, the (X, Y, theta) parameters of the absorbed pole piece can be calculated through the shooting of the CCD (not shown in the figure, the CCD is used for obtaining the attitude projection of the pole piece on the XY plane along the Z axis) and the pattern recognition function, and the Z parameters can be fed back through a motor shaft sensor. Since the pole piece is finally placed on the diaphragm, the Z-axis height of the pole piece does not affect the posture of the pole piece, and the X-axis only affects the position of the pole piece, the posture of the pole piece can be adjusted through the (Y, theta) parameters. For example, if the standard posture of the pole piece is (Y1, θ 1), the posture can be adjusted by controlling the θ -axis servo motor 1105 to rotate by an angle (θ 1 — θ) and translating to Y1 by the Y-axis cylinder. Of course, the distance from the pole piece attitude to the standard attitude can also be calculated through a trigonometric function, and the (Y, theta) parameters are adjusted to carry out translation and rotation.
After the posture of the pole pieces is adjusted, the distance between the pole pieces can be controlled by controlling the translation of the X-axis motor, and the pole pieces can be arranged at equal intervals or arranged at unequal intervals.
The embodiment has the following beneficial effects: the posture of the pole piece can be flexibly adjusted and corrected during the pole piece taking, and the space between the pole pieces can be flexibly controlled.
The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting the invention, and any modifications, equivalents, improvements and the like that fall within the spirit and principle of the present invention are intended to be included therein.
