EQUIPMENT FOR MANUFACTURING VARIOUS MODELS OF BATTERY CAP ASSEMBLIES

The subject of the invention is a device for the production of several models of battery cap assemblies. More narrowly, the invention relates to an apparatus for the production of multiple models of cap assemblies by direct transfer of cap plate parts, instead of using transfer of cap assemblies from pallets or magazines, in such a way that cap assemblies can be efficiently produced continuously with a transition zone without stopping for unit processing equipment maintenance and repair, cap plate- different models of parts and one model of cap plate parts can be produced at the same time, the mixed production of a single model or multiple models of cap plate parts of the work shift becomes easier, and the basic costs of equipment and the production costs of parts can be significantly reduced.

The name secondary battery typically refers to rechargeable batteries that can be charged and discharged, in contrast to the name primary battery that cannot be charged. Secondary batteries are widely used in electronic devices such as mobile phones, notebook computers, video cameras, electric vehicles, electric bicycles and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, and their use is expected to increase further in the coming period.

In particular, lithium batteries have a higher energy density than nickel-cadmium batteries and nickel-hydride batteries. Due to these advantages, the demand for lithium secondary batteries is increasing.

Lithium secondary batteries use lithium oxides as the cathode active material and carbon materials as the anode active material. According to the type of electrolyte they use, lithium secondary batteries can be liquid electrolyte batteries and polymer electrolyte batteries. Batteries using liquid electrolytes are called lithium-ion batteries, and batteries using polymer electrolytes are called lithium-polymer batteries.

Lithium-ion batteries can be divided into cylindrical batteries, prism-type batteries, and flexible pouch-type batteries according to the shape of the cases in which the battery units are placed.

In particular, electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles use a multitude of prism elements, which have high spatial efficiency, and are connected in series and parallel.

In recent years, the demand for small electronic devices such as mobile phones, laptops and cameras has increased, and regulations to limit the emission of hazardous gases such as carbon dioxide have become increasingly strict for environmental protection. Under these conditions, lithium batteries were developed as a power source for high-performance and high-capacity power supplies.

In the automotive industry, electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) are under active development to replace fossil fuels such as gasoline, diesel, and natural gas. The sharp increase in the price of fossil fuels is also driving the development of EVs and HEVs.

Korean patent specification 2009-124933 describes a prism battery for an EV or HEV. The prism battery has a structure in which a fixing portion consisting of protrusions 29Ab and 29Bb fixes the location of a sheet electrode assembly 11 and a battery outer box 12 on a positive electrode collecting member and/or a negative electrode collecting member. The insulating sheet 32 is placed between the protrusions 29Aa, 29Ab, 29Ba and 29Bb and the external battery 12. The front portions of the protrusions 29Ab and 29Bb extend toward the battery outer box 12 rather than toward the plate electrode assembly 11. The heights of the protrusions are smaller than the thickness of the insulating plate 32. Thanks to this structure, the short circuit between the positive electrode collector member or the negative electrode collector member and the outer tank of the battery is eliminated, thus ensuring the high safety of the prism battery. However, abnormal pressure in the lithium-ion battery carries the risk of the lithium-ion battery exploding.

The technical terms used in the description of the invention are used to show specific embodiments, to which the present invention is not limited. Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein, including technical or scientific terms, shall have the same meaning as commonly understood by one skilled in the art.

Preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying figures, where individual components are designated by reference numerals.

An apparatus 20000 for manufacturing complex models of cap assemblies according to the present invention includes at least one transfer conveyor unit 3000 that loads and conveys a plurality of cap plates welded with safety vents 1220 and diaphragms 1320 and performs a primary leak test in a primary leak test unit 2000; an aligning transfer unit 4000 that inserts rivet assemblies connected by rivets and insulators into the rivet holes of the cap plates in the transfer transfer unit; a top plate supply unit 5000 that mounts top plates 5320 or OSDs 5120 to the cap plates; a 6,000 staple plate supply unit that attaches staple plates to the top plates; a crimping unit 7000 that presses rivets extending through clip plate openings to crimp the rivets; 8,000 staple plate welding units for welding staple rivets to form welded joints; and at least one 9,000 secondary tightness test unit that loads the cap plates onto a secondary test bench to test the tightness of weld joints, insulators and cap plate connections, and apply positive or negative pressure where the rivet assemblies are alternated using a cap plate transfer module they move between one rivet assembly stamp and the adjacent rivet assembly stamp.

According to the present invention, a cap assembly 8020 may be made by welding a diaphragm 1320 and a safety vent 1220 to a cap plate 1120, inserting rivet assemblies in which rivets 4110 and 4110' are inserted into respective insulators 4120 and 4120', rivet holes in the plate, a 5 120 OSD into, a 5320 top plate and 6120 and 6120' clamp plates are assembled by overhanging the rivets, pressure sealing the rivets, and welding the sealed areas. (see Figure 1)

The apparatus according to the present invention enables simultaneous production of different models of cap plate assemblies as well as a single model of cap plate assemblies. The 1000 cap plate supply units can also be designed in multiples. In this case, the number of cap plate supply units is determined according to the number of cap plate models. For example, one cap plate supply unit can be provided to produce a single model, two cap plate supply units can be provided to produce two different models, and three cap plate supply units can be provided to produce three different models. That is, the number of cap plate supply units increases proportionally with the number of cap plate models.

The term cap plate in the description includes the cap plate itself, the safety opening welded cap plate or diaphragm, the cap plate OSD into which the rivet assembly is fitted in the following process, the top plate, the cap plate connected to the connection plate, the cap plate after sealing, and the welded top plate after sealing. Here, the sealed cap plate is referred to as the cap plate, and the welded cap plate after sealing is interpreted as the cap assembly.

The cap plate supply unit 1000 includes a cap plate feeder 1100 that loads cap plates 1120 from a cap plate tray onto a cap plate stamper 1130, a safety vent feeder 1200 that aligns and welds safety vents 1220 with safety holes 1122 in the cap plates, and a membrane feeder 1300, which aligns and welds the diaphragms 1320 to the diaphragm openings 1124 of the cap plates. The welding of diaphragms and safety openings to the cap plates can prevent gas or liquid from penetrating the welded joint surfaces to provide a seal.

The cap plate stamp is used in a top plate stamp and a clip plate stamp and the rivet assembly in the following processing, and is a stamp that holds the cap plates or cap assemblies in the following equipment or modules, unless otherwise noted.

Mechanically driven movements, such as forward, backward, up and down movements, are driven by motors or air valves, and are not described except in special cases.

The cap plate transfer module is a device that transfers rivet assemblies from the rivet assembly stamp 4140 to an adjacent rivet assembly stamp 4140' and returns to its original position. (FIG. 4) The two opposing blocks 4142 and 4143 of the rivet assembly stamp 4140 are spaced apart, and the rivet assembly blocks 4432 and 4433 are placed inside the opposing blocks 4142 and 4143 . Rivet assembly blocks 4432 and 4433 are attached to a transfer body 1440 and are movable with the transfer body. The rivet assembly blocks 4432 and 4433 can move in the processing direction and in the up/down direction along the running direction of the serial process. For this operation, for example, a drive motor or an air cylinder (not shown) can be used via a control unit (not shown) such as a PLC. Such actuators and control units play a role in the operation of transfer modules in a process, equipment or module described below. Accordingly, it will not be described in detail further, only the differences and special considerations will be described.

Cap plate transfer module rivet assembly blocks 4432 and 4433 may be attached to a transfer body 1440 at regular intervals. Movable rivet assembly blocks 4432 and 4433 are regularly spaced between rivet assembly stamp 4140 and adjacent rivet assembly stamp 4140'. Movable rivet assembly blocks 4432 and 4433 move toward each other at intervals so that rivet assemblies can be efficiently transferred to continuous processes, equipment and modules. The spaces between the movable rivet assembly blocks 4432 and 4433 can be adjusted according to the distance between the rivet assembly stamps 4140 and 4140'. As a result, the forward/backward distance of the processing movement can be equal to the distance between the rivet assembly stamps 4140 and 4140'.

The transfer body 1440 can move in the receding/closing direction S in addition to the processing direction and the up/down direction by the aforementioned drive source. Thus, the rivet assembly blocks 4432 and 4433 move back and forth and continue to advance. In order to avoid friction or collision between the blocks, the blocks are preferably placed opposite each other, with a distance between a few mm and a few cm.

Accordingly, when the blocks operate in the processing direction, they move in the upstream direction. Then, when the blocks reach the adjacent rivet assembly stamp 4140', they descend to install the rivet assemblies and return to their original position from the descending state.

That is, the movable blocks load the rivet assemblies, rise, advance in the processing direction in which the shuttle can be operated to produce cap assemblies, stop by the adjacent rivet assembly stamp 4140', descend, align with the rivet assemblies by the adjacent rivet assembly stamp 4140' stamp, contract, move backwards and return to their original place.

The cap plate transfer module is a pendulum that moves back and forth to transport rivets and cap plates fitted into the upper projections of the rivet assemblies. The cap plate transfer module can be operated with movable blocks with the same structure in the following processes and modules, except for special cases.

The primary tightness test unit 2000 checks the tightness of the welded joints of the cap plates 1120 with safety openings and the diaphragms. In the event that there is no change in internal pressure as measured by a pressure sensor (not shown) after application of positive or negative pressure, the cap plate is deemed to have passed the primary test. When a significant change in internal pressure is observed, the cap plate is rated "failed" in the primary test. Positive pressure refers to pressure higher than atmospheric pressure, and negative pressure refers to pressure lower than atmospheric pressure.

The primary leak test unit 2000 (see FIG. 3 ) checks the tightness of cap assemblies 8020 , which can simultaneously produce multiple models of cap plate components as well as a single model of cap plate components. Like the 1000 cap plate supply units, the primary leak test unit can be formed in multiples. In this case, the number of cap plate supply units is determined according to the number of cap plate models. For example, one 2000 primary leak test unit may be provided to produce a single model, two 2000 primary leak test units may be provided to produce two different models, and three 2000 primary leak test units may be provided to produce three different models. That is, the number of leak test units increases proportionally with the number of cap plate models.

The transfer transport unit 3000 (see Figure 5) collects the cap plates that have passed the primary test from the primary test stamp of the next primary leak test unit 2000 and transports the cap plates. In the event of an emergency of unit processing equipment in line for the production of 8020 cap assemblies, the transfer conveyor 3000 provides the time necessary to resolve errors in the unit processing equipment to prevent unit processing equipment from being shut down for maintenance and repair, allowing the continuous production of 8020 cap assemblies in an efficient manner.

That is, the cap plate 1120 and an adjacent cap plate 1120 are in close contact with the conveyor module 3100 of the conveyor unit and are conveyed by the conveyor module 3100. The transfer rate of the conveyor module 3100 is adjusted so that the cap assemblies 8020 are continuously produced. The speed of the conveyor belt can be adjusted by rotating the rotary shaft 3110 to account for the rotation of a drive motor.

Furthermore, an additional function of the transfer conveyor 3000 is a feeder for continuously supplying one type of cap plate model to produce multiple cap assembly models in a single line.

Conveyor module 3100 is used to deliver cap plates 1120 loaded onto a cap plate tray to cap plate dispenser 1100 after completion of the leak test. The conveyor module includes two opposed conveyor belts 3101 and 3102 that rotate around the rotary axis 3110 . The conveyor belts are placed at a distance d from each other.

In order to facilitate the change of work to produce a single model of cap plate components or multiple models of cap plate components and to provide improved mixed production, it is necessary to arrange multiple cap plate models on one stamp. The conveyor module 3100 of the transfer conveyor 3000 extends to the alignment transfer unit 4000 to transport the cap plates to the rivet assemblies. The alignment transfer unit 4000 is described below.

The alignment transfer unit 4000 inserts the rivet assemblies connected to the rivets and insulators in the transfer transport unit 3000 into the rivet holes of the cap plates 1126 and 1126'. To this end, a cap plate is mounted from the conveyor belt module 3100 of the transfer conveyor, loaded with multiple cap plates on the conveyor module 4200, loaded onto an alignment transfer stamp 4460, which is sucked and moved by the suction head 4351 of an alignment transfer module 4350, and is aligning that the upper projection of the rivet assembly is inserted into the rivet hole on the 4140 rivet assembly stamp. The suction head has a head end, the shape of which corresponds to the surface of the cap plates. The suction nozzle can suck the cap plates through a vacuum flow path formed by an external vacuum generator (not shown).

Here, the alignment transfer stamp is an important element in turning the production of multiple models of 8020 cap assemblies into one continuous process.

The gaps between the cap plates placed on the stamp must be checked.

If we want to produce two models A and B, the first and third cap plate aligned to the stamp will be model A, and the second and fourth cap plate will be model B. Optionally, when three models A, B and C are to be produced, the first and fourth aligned cap plates will be model A, the second and fifth cap plates will be model B, and the third and sixth cap plates will be model C.

That is, when we want to produce n models of 8020 cap assemblies, the loading order of the cap plates is as follows: cap plates 1 are arranged in the first and (n + l)th places, cap plates 2 are in the second and (n + 2) places arranged, the 3 cap plates are arranged in the third and (n + 3)th positions, and the n cap plates are arranged in the nth and (n + n)th positions. The same rule applies to rivets, insulators, etc

OSDs, for arranging the top plates and connection plates depending on the models of the cap plates. According to the array of parts of the n models of the cap plates loaded onto the stamp, the n parts can be arranged in the nth and (n + n)th places.

Accordingly, a single model of cap plates, including pieces loaded onto stamps and transport units as well as transfer units, may be collectively referred to as single cap plate carriers, and variations employing multiple cap models may be collectively referred to as mixed cap plate carriers. It is important to distinguish 8020 cap assembly models based on secondary leak testing, electrical property testing, and shipment testing because multiple models of 8020 cap assemblies are produced on a single line.

A plurality of cap plates loaded for the production of a single model of cap assemblies on a standing stamp is called a type of cap plate carrier. The multitude of cap plates filled for the production of several models of cap assemblies on a standing stamp are called mixed cap plate carriers. For example, four cap plates fitted to one stamp for the production of two models A and B, and six cap plates fitted to a stamp for the production of models A, B and C can be considered as mixed cap plate carriers. In the case where the cap plates 4 or 6 welded with safety vents 1220 and the diaphragms are transferred to the primary leak test unit 2000, these cap plates can be defined as a kind of cap plate carriers. To standardize the manufacturing process, equipment or modules, it is advantageous to transfer the cap plates as a single cap plate substrate or mixed cap plate substrates while maintaining the distance D between the cap plates. The distance D may correspond to the distances between adjacent recesses formed in the stamps, carriers and blocks.

That is, when a plurality of parts, including cap plates, are conveyed for continuous assembly using unit processes, equipment, modules, or conveyors, adjacent cap plates are spaced D apart. Cap plates can be arranged on stamps while maintaining constant spacing in continuous processes and equipment, except for special processes. The cover plates of the same models are optionally arranged. This arrangement is beneficial in simplifying work change depending on the change of models and the increase or decrease of the number of models. For its two mixed cap plate carrier models, the 4460 alignment transfer stamp loads the cap plates in every second position while maintaining a 2xD distance between adjacent cap plates. For its three mixed cap plate carrier models, the 4460 alignment transfer stamp loads the cap plates at every third position, maintaining a 3xD distance between adjacent cap plates. The production of two models of cap plates is shown below as an example.

For example, if the distance between adjacent cap plates is defined as D on the stamp during upward movement, equipment or modules, then the distance between adjacent terminal plates loaded on the alignment transfer stamp 4460 is preferably 2xD to produce two models.

That is, the distance between adjacent cap plates can be nxD to produce n models.

Alignment transfer unit 4000 may include a rivet dispenser and an insulation dispenser 4300 . Rivet assemblies in which the insulating elements 4120 are inserted into the upper projections 4112 of the corresponding rivets 4110 may be inserted into the rivet holes of the cap plates.

Rivets 4110 each include a lower projection in addition to an upper projection 4112 . The upper projection and the lower projection extend upwardly and downwardly from the central portion of the flat rivet wing 4111 . The 4120 insulator is perforated with a central projection opening. The upper projection is fitted into the projection opening.

The rivet feeder loads rivets 4110 onto rivet assembly stamp 4140 from rivet tray 4130. The rivet pick-up arms 4151 and 4152 of the rivet pick-up module intimately contact the plurality of rivets aligned and arranged on the rivet tray and pick up the rivets. A pair of Rivet Alignment Picks 4161 and 4162 makes close contact with the rivets, lifts and aligns the sides of the rivet wings 4111, is wide open, and returns to its original position. The lower projection 4113 is inserted into the mounting hole 41420 of the rivet assembly stamp 4140 and the rivet wing 4111 is attached to load the rivet 4110 .

Here, the 4161 and 4162 rivet pick-ups can pick up rivets perpendicular to the rivet pick-up arms to precisely align the rivets and top plates.

Insulator feeder 4300 inserts insulators 4320 from an insulator reservoir 4330 into top projections 4112 of rivets loaded onto rivet assembly stamp 4140 . The insulators are placed in the insert bars of the insulator magazine. The insulation dispenser includes an insulation suction plate 4340 which is perforated with a central tap hole 4342. An alignment pin 4344 is located in the pin hole. Alignment pin 4344 has an outwardly projecting head. A vacuum is applied to the pin hole facing one end of the insert rod to suck the insulator. The head of the alignment pin is moved to the top of the upper projection of the rivet 4110, the alignment pin 4344 located in the pin is moved back (enters the pin hole), and the insulating suction plate is lowered to the upper projection 4112. As a result, the upper projection is fitted into the projection opening 4122 . The vacuum is released from the suction plate. The suction plate rises and returns to its original position.

The rivet assembly transfer module 4400 alternates between the rivet feeder and the insulator feeder to transport rivets 4110, 4110' or rivet assemblies. As with the other blocks mentioned above, the rivet assembly transfer module 4400 moves between two blocks of the rivet assembly stamp 4140 attached to the transfer body 1440 in the forward, up/down, and retract/retract directions. The rivet assembly transfer module 4400 is described below, along with descriptions of the transfers used for the OSDs, top plates, and clip plates.

The cap plates are loaded onto the rivet assemblies on the rivet assembly stamper 4140 via the alignment transfer module 4350. The nozzle 4351 sucks the nxD spaced cap plates 1120 and the alignment transfer module transfers the cap plates 1120 from the alignment transfer stamp 4460 . The nozzle 4351 can consist of several nozzles 4351. In this case, the number of nozzles 4351 may be equal to the number of cap plates 1120 loaded onto the alignment transfer stamp 4460 .

For two models, the cap plates 1120 are stacked on the alignment transfer stamp 4460 at 2xD intervals, and the two nozzles can transfer the cap plates 1120 arranged at 2xD intervals to the rivet assembly.

In order to set the gaps between the cap plates to 2xD, the 4200 conveyor module can move back and forth a distance equal to 2xD. In this way, the cap plates transferred to the conveyor belt are lifted one by one and arranged one after the other while holding them between the 2xD on the aligning transfer stamp.

Cap plate nozzle 4531 faces one side of each cap plate 1120 . When the vacuum is provided externally through a vacuum flow path (not shown) formed in the cap plate suction nozzle 4531, the cap plates 1120 sucked by the suction force are moved onto the rivet assembly stamp 4140 filled with rivet assemblies, and the upper projections of the rivet assemblies are inserted into the rivet holes of the cap plates by the rivet. for aligning openings.

Each rivet assembly is secured in rivet holes 1126 and 1126' formed at each end of the respective cap plate. Anode rivets 4110' are inserted into rivet holes 1126' for an anode to membrane holes 1124 near the anode. Cathode rivets 4110 fit into rivet holes 1126 for a cathode and are arranged through safety vents 1220 at each end of each cap plate. Anode and cathode rivets are typically made of copper or aluminum.

Accordingly, the numbers of 4110 and 4110' rivets, insulators, 5120 OSDs, top plates, and anode or cathode terminal plates to be assembled or welded in the following procedures correspond to the number of cap plates that contain one type of cap plate carrier or mixed cap plate carriers, and on both sides can be transported based on the running or travel direction of the stamps or transfer modules.

For anode isolation performance and emergency disconnection by reversing the diaphragms, the 5000 top plate supply unit stacks the 5120 OSDs or loads the top plates onto the riveted top projections of the cap plates assembled with rivet assemblies. The upper plates are fitted into the upper protrusions of the cathode rivets. First, the anode terminals are formed by mounting the OSDs 5120 on an OSD tray 5110 or an OSD magazine and aligning the OSDs into the OSD slots 5122 formed on the riveted top projections of the stamp-loaded cap plates of the rivet assembly 4140 .

Here, the OSDs 5120 are insulators, including the OSD openings 5122 into which the anode studs 4110' are inserted, which are formed on the anode terminals of secondary batteries, and the electrically conductive through holes, which are formed against the membranes. If the internal pressure is increased by abnormal operation of a secondary battery, the safety hatch will not function properly. The increased pressure causes the curved surface of the diaphragm to flip over and allows the cap plate or terminal plate to contact the flipped curved surface through the electrically conductive openings, shorting the secondary battery.

The top plate supply unit includes a 5200 OSD pick-up transfer module that includes the 5221 and 5222 OSD pick-up arms. OSDs can be aligned and arranged in the 5110 OSD Tray and OSD Tray. Opposite OSD pick-up arms 5221 and 5222 of the OSD pick-up transfer module 5200 closely engage each other to pick up the OSDs. A pair of OSD alignment pick-ups 5261 and 5262 are in close contact with each other in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the OSD pick-up arms 5120 are in close contact with each other to pick up the OSDs 5120 , open and return to their original position. OSD alignment pick-ups 5261 and 5262 pass OSD pick-up arms 5221 and 5222, upper projections 4112 and 4112' of rivet assemblies on rivet assembly stamp 4140 fit into OSD slots 5122 to load 5120 OSDs.

To form the cathode terminals, the top plates 5320 placed on the top plate tray 5310 or the top plate magazine 5310' can be loaded onto the cap plates on the rivet assembly stamp 4140. The upper plate pickup arms 5351 and 5352 of the upper plate pickup transfer module are in close contact with each other to pick up the plurality of upper plates 5320 arranged on the upper plate tray 5310 or the upper plate magazine. A pair of top plate alignment pick-ups 5361 and 5362 are in close contact with each other to pick up and align the top plates 5320 in an open state and return to their original position. Top plate alignment pick-ups 5361 and 5362 insert upper projections 4112 and 4112' of rivets 4112 and 4112' on rivet assembly stamp 4140 into top plate slots 5322 to load top plates.

Top plate alignment pick-ups 5361 and 5362 lift the top plates perpendicular to the top plate pick-up arms to precisely align the top plates.

The 6000 Staple Plate Supply Unit loads the staple plates onto the 5320 top plates or the 5120 OSDs. Opposite staple pickup arms 6251 and 6252 of staple pickup transfer module 6200 engage closely to pick up a plurality of staples 6120 aligned and arranged on staple tray 6110 or staple magazine. A pair of terminal plate alignment pick-ups 6261 and 6262 are in close contact with each other to pick up and align the terminal plates 6120, open and return to their original position. Terminal plate alignment pick-ups 6261 and 6262 insert the upper projections of the rivets 4112 and 4112' on the terminal plate stamp into the top plate slots 5322 to load the terminal plates.

The terminal plate alignment pick-ups 6261 and 6262 pick up the terminal plates in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the terminal plate pick-up arms are in close contact with each other or are open so that the terminal plates are precisely aligned.

To ensure this, 5221 and 5222 OSD picking arms, 5261 and 5262 OSD alignments, 5351 and 5352 upper boards, top 5361 and 5362 upper plate pickups, 6251 and 6252 staples and 6261, 6262. its pickups are arranged perpendicularly. This is to align the OSDs, top plates and clamp plates to the riveted top projections of the cap plates. The stamps or carriers are blocked along the processing direction and the alignment pick-ups pick up the corresponding parts, or they are spaced apart in a direction perpendicular to the processing direction in which the pick-ups can pick up the corresponding parts, or they are open in the same direction so that the rectangle precise alignment of shaped parts must be ensured.

After the clip plates are aligned, the upper projections of the rivets 4112 and 4112' are pressurized and tensioned to closely contact the peripheries of the clip plate openings and pull together the lower cap plates and OSDs.

The sealing unit 7000 includes a sealing module 7100 and a sealing head 7110 that press the upper projections of the rivets protruding through the terminal plate openings 6122 to depress and deform the terminal plates so that the lower cap plates or OSDs 5120 can be sealed.

The clip plate welding unit 8000 welds the sealed rivets to the clip plate openings to form welded joints. The clamp plate welding unit 8000 can secure the depressed and stretched portions of the upper projections of the sealed rivets and the perimeters of the clamp plate openings 6122 of the clamp plates by welding. In order to reduce cycle time, welding is preferably carried out with the help of laser light.

The apparatus according to the present invention may further include a sizing unit 8500 after the clamp plate welding unit 8000. The 8500 sizing unit is used to even out the flatness of the cap plates. Welding 1220 safety vents and diaphragms, pressurizing top projections during sealing, and welding connection plates and rivets can degrade the flatness of cap plate assemblies. Accordingly, an 8510 pressure roll can be used to apply pressure between the cap plates during rolling to keep the cap plates flat.

We will provide a detailed description of the structure of the transfer transport module, which alternately moves to transport the rivets, rivet assemblies, and cap assemblies after loading the cap plates on the rivet assemblies on the 4140 rivet assembly stamp, aligning the 5120 OSD, top plates, and cap plates, the sealing and welding topics.

The rivet assembly transfer module 4400 includes two opposite rivet assembly blocks 4432 and 4433 arranged between the stamp blocks 4142 and 4143 of the rivet assembly stamp retainer 4140 . Rivet assembly blocks 4432 and 4433 extend and pivot from the stamp blocks. In this case, each of the rivet assembly blocks has lateral projections 41421 and mounting slots 41420 into which the riveted lower projection 4113 or 4113' of the stamp block is inserted while maintaining a distance D, and an insertion arm 44320 having an open elongated slot 44321 for the rivet, which cooperates with the lateral extension 41421. Due to this structure, when the rivet assembly blocks 4432 and 4433 are opened, the lower projections 4113 and rivet 4113' on the side projections enter the rivet slots through the open elongated openings of the rivet slots 44321 entering the stamp blocks.

Thus, when the rivet assembly blocks are directed (ie, extended) toward the stamp blocks 4142 and 4143 , the insertion arms approach and pass the lateral projections and allow the rivet assembly blocks 4432 and 4433 to rise. Rivet wings 4111 and 4111' are locked so that the rivet assembly module is raised. The rivet assembly transfer module then descends from the adjacent rivet assembly stamp 4140', loads the rivet assemblies onto the rivet assembly stamp, binds, moves back, and returns to the rivet assembly stamp 4140'. Due to this repetitive forward/reverse movement, the rivet assembly transfer module 4400 moves between the rivet assembly stamp 4140 and the adjacent rivet assembly stamp 4140' and allows the assembly of the rivet assemblies in a serial process and the transfer of the rivet assemblies.

The rivets are loaded onto the 4140 rivet assembly stamp. The rivet assembly stamp 4140 is a rack that allows the insulators to be sequentially fitted into the upper projections 4112 and 4112'. The 4140 rivet assembly stamp loaded with rivets and provided with insulators is collectively referred to as the rivet assembly stamp, unless other structures or functions are specifically mentioned.

To transfer and bond the rivets and insulators, the rivet assembly blocks 4432 and 4433 move back and forth and continuously pass between the stamp blocks 4142 and 4143.

To avoid friction or collision between the blocks, the rivet assembly blocks are operated in the processing direction while maintaining their closed state. Rivet assembly blocks 4432 and 4433 lift rivets or rivet assemblies or install rivets or rivet assemblies onto stamp blocks 4142 and 4143. For this purpose, the rivet assembly blocks are operated in the up/down direction. In particular, when the rivet assembly blocks 4432 and 4433 lift the rivets or rivet assemblies, they are in the open position to make the best possible contact with each other and the two stamp blocks 4142 and 4143 in order to prevent the cap plates from slipping apart. This means that the rivet assembly blocks move away from each other to load the rivets and rise, move forward in the processing direction, stop by the next stamp blocks, descend to align the rivets with the stamp blocks, binding, move back and return to their original position.

Here, rivet assembly blocks 4432 and 4433 may be raised to lift rivets or rivet assemblies and may be in an open position. Rivet assembly blocks can be lowered to lower rivets or rivet assemblies on stamp blocks.

The suction head 4351 of the alignment transfer module 4350 of the alignment transfer unit 4000 sucks and transfers the cap plates so that the top projections of the rivet assemblies are inserted into the corresponding rivet holes. This means that the rivet assembly blocks 4432 and 4433 attach the rivet assemblies to the stamp blocks of the rivet assemblies 4142 and 4143 and stop so that the upper projections of the rivet assemblies placed in the stamp blocks can be fitted into the corresponding rivet holes. Once secured, the rivet assembly blocks 4432 and 4433 are lowered to load the clip plates onto the rivet assemblies.

OSD Stamp, Top Plate Stamp and Clip Plate Stamp can use 4432 and 4433 Rivet Assembly Blocks and 4142 and 4143 Stamp Blocks to charge 5120 OSDs, Cap Plates, Clip Plates on Cap Plates assembled with Rivet Assemblies separately . Rivet assemblies, cap plates, 5120 OSDs, top plates, or clip plates may slip during stacking. The laterally movable blocks 7210 and 7220 of the laterally fixing module 7200 are in close contact with each other and can pressurize the two end faces 1120' and 1120" of each cap plate. In particular, pressing of the sealing unit 7000 applies pressure to the upper projections of the rivets to press the upper projections against the clip plates. In summary, more pressure should be applied to the cap plates.

Because the components assembled in the sealing unit 7000 are sealed while maintaining their alignment and are secured to the cap plates, transfer away/close movements used in subsequent processes or equipment are not required. Therefore, the movable blocks 8400 are fixed between the stamp blocks or the outer transfer body for ascending/descending and reciprocating movements.

Indentations 1131 matching the outline of the cap plates 1120 may be formed on the stamps or hinges on which the cap plates connected by the rivet assemblies are loaded to secure the cap plates in a short H direction. The two opposite standing blocks are fixed at a certain distance from each other. The cap plates can be placed in the recesses of the blocks. Similarly, cap plate stands such as blocks or stamps may have depressions.

However, since the lower projections of the rivets extend downwardly below the lower surfaces of the cap plates, the transfer arrangement outside of the stamp blocks makes it difficult to align and relocate the cap plates. Therefore, it is preferable to arrange the movable blocks between the stamp blocks 4142 and 4143.

That is, the movable blocks 8400 of the terminal plate welding unit 8000 are arranged between the stamp blocks 4142 and 4143, rise/descend and reciprocate between the adjacent stamp blocks and convey the cap plates. The movable blocks rise, allow the cap plates 1120 to be spaced through the stamp blocks, move toward adjacent stamp blocks, descend, load the cap plates into the stamp blocks, and move back and return to their original position.

As previously described, after filling the 1220 safety vents, the diaphragms, rivets, insulators, cap plates, 5120 OSDs, and terminal plate welds, the 8020 cap assemblies are inspected for secondary tightness, and the electrical properties of the cap assemblies that pass the leak test are examined.

Unlike the primary leak test unit 2000, the secondary leak test unit 9000 checks the tightness of cap assemblies secondarily. The 9000 secondary leak test unit includes a 9500 secondary test piece that checks the tightness of the connection points between welded joints, insulators and cap plates. The secondary leak test is performed by applying positive or negative pressure to cap plate assemblies loaded with cap plates from which the terminal plates extend. The secondary proof stamp 9500, which is formed with an enclosed space 9511 for receiving the projecting terminal plates, conveys the cap plate assemblies. The 9500 secondary proof stamp can then pass the cap plate assemblies that have passed the secondary leak test for the electrical properties test.

As in the primary tightness test unit, the secondary tightness of the 8020 cap assemblies for the production of various models of cap plate components and a single model of cap plates is tested in the secondary tightness test unit. Similar to the primary tightness test unit, the secondary tightness test unit can be designed in multiples, the number of cap plates is determined according to the model number of the cap plates. For example, one 1000 cap plate supply unit can be provided to produce a single model, two 1000 cap plate supply units can be provided to produce two different models, and three 1000 cap plate supply units can be provided to produce three different models. That is, the number of 1000 cap plate supply units increases proportionally with the number of cap plate models.

Here, when mixed cap plate carriers are continuously produced, the tightness is preferably checked for one type of model. The cap plates of the mixed cap plate carriers, after passing through the clip plate welding unit 8000 or the sizing unit 8500 , can be sorted into single cap plate carriers, which can be transferred to a stationary stamp 9200 by the sorting transfer module 9100 , through which the single cap plate carriers are fed into the secondary proof stamp 9500 .

That is, the sorting suction plate 9110 of the sorting transfer module 9100 sucks the same model of the cap plates, conveys the sucked cap plates to the fixing hole 9210 of the standby stamp 9200 and returns to its original position. The standby stamp is equipped with a closed movable 9300 transfer module. The closed movable transfer module lifts the same model of cap, distance D from the mounting hole, moves to the adjacent mounting hole 9220, descends, and transfers the next identical model of cap plates to the mounting hole 9210 of the standby stamp 9200. For example, when two different models A and B of mixed cap plate carriers are provided (two for each model), the mixed cap plate carriers of model A are stacked and loaded into the first and second positions, and the mixed cap plate carriers of model B are stacked and loaded into the second and are stacked and loaded into the fourth position. THE

The sorting suction plate 9110 of sorting transfer module 9100 loads the first and third cap plates into the mounting recess, and the closed movable transfer module 9300 loads the first and third cap plates into the next adjacent mounting slot 9220 . The sorting transfer module 9100 can also load the first and third cap plates into the mounting slot 9210 in the next transferred mixed cap plate carriers. Cap plates of the same model, i.e., one type of cap plate carrier, can be made in the first to fourth mounting recesses of the standby stamp.

Accordingly, several 9100 sorting transfer modules can be provided in several models of mixed cap plate carriers. The number of sorting transfer modules 9100 is preferably determined according to the number of mixed cap plate carriers.

The cap plate assemblies forming one type of cap plate carriers are sucked by the dispensing suction plates 9410 of the dispensing module 9400 . The dispensing module aligns the cap plate assemblies on the 9500 secondary proof stamp and separates the suction plates. The number of 9410 dispenser suction plates is determined according to the number of cap plate assemblies of one type of cap plate carriers.

The secondary proof stamp 9500 is provided with a closed upper stamp 9510 and a closed lower stamp 9520 facing each other. The closed upper stamp contains a closed space 9511 into which the shapes of the terminal plates are introduced. The number of terminal plates introduced into the closed space corresponds to the number of cap plate assemblies. The closed lower stamp has a closed groove 9521 into which the lower projections 4113 and 4113' of the cap plate assembly rivet assemblies 4113 and 4113' and the insulators are inserted. This design allows the cap plate assemblies to be under pressure against the closed top seal. Optionally, the closed projection recess and the closed space can be formed in the closed upper stamp and the closed lower stamp separately.

Similar to the primary leak test, the secondary leak test can be performed by establishing a positive or negative pressure flow path (not shown) in communication with the enclosure 9511 and providing a pressure sensor (not shown) capable of detecting the pressure change in the path. After a predetermined period of time from closing the closed top seal and the closed bottom seal, and applying a positive or negative pressure corresponding to the pressure and time specified in the 8020 cap assemblies, as in the primary leak test, a pressure change is sensed using the pressure sensor to determine whether whether the cap assemblies pass or fail the secondary leak test.

As with the primary proof stamp, at least one secondary proof stamp may be provided to eliminate bottlenecks caused by the time required for leak testing.

After the secondary seal test is completed, the closed upper seal 9510 and closed lower seal 9520 are opened and the unloading module 9600 transfers the cap assemblies 8020 to a secondary conveyor module 9700 . The suction plate of the unloading module 9610 sucks the cap plate assemblies, loads the suctioned cap plate assemblies onto the conveyor 9710 of the secondary conveyor module 9700, releases the suction, and returns to its original position.

The 9700 Secondary Conveyor Module can be used with a belt to form a conveyor belt. Cap assemblies 8020 secured from the unloading suction plate and transported on the conveyor belt can be stopped by an unloading sorting module 9800 provided to the stop stamp 9830 at one end of the conveyor belt.

Here, the suction plate of the unloading module 9610 is not particularly limited as long as it is designed to face the cap plate assemblies and is designed to suck the cap plate assemblies by vacuum pressure. The cap plate assemblies are suctioned by vacuum pressure provided by the suction plate externally through a vacuum flow path (not shown).

The 9800 Unload Sorter Module includes a 9810 Stop Rod Valve and a 9820 Alignment Rod Valve. When the stop rod 9811 of the stop rod valve 9810 extends, the adjacent cap assemblies 8020 engage and are ready on the conveyor. When the stop rod 9811 is retracted, the finished cap assemblies 8020 advance, pass over an adjuster rod 9821 of the retracted adjuster rod valve, and are stopped by the stop stamp 9830.

Subsequently, when the stop rod 9811 is retracted, the cap assemblies 8020 advance and the alignment rod 9821 extends and stops in place. By adjusting the distance of the cap assemblies 8020 between the cap assemblies 8020 in the unloading sorting stamp and the cap assemblies 8020 attached to the alignment rod 9821, the mixed cap sheet media can be fed into a subsequent post-processing stamp 10100.

The distance between the cap assemblies 8020 can be controlled by placing the stop rod valve 9810 and the aligning rod valve 9820 in opposite directions on one side of the conveyor and directing the stop rod 9811 and the aligning rod 9821 forward.

The 9800 unloading sorting module can be provided in large quantities. In this case, the number of unloading sorting modules 9800 is preferably determined according to the number of models of cap assemblies 8020.

The distance between the cap assemblies filled on the stop stamp in the alignment rod is similar to that described above. That is, when two different models A and B are produced (two cap plates for each model), then the cap plates of the same model aligned on the stamps are first and third. When three different models A, B and C are produced (two cap plates for each model), the cap plates of the same model are in the first and fourth positions. Depending on the number of models that make up the mixed cap plate carrier, the cap assemblies can be loaded at 1xD or 2xD intervals.

Cap assemblies 8020 loaded onto a stop stamp in the alignment bar are sucked by transfer suction plates 9840 of the unloading sorter module 9800 and loaded onto the post-processing stamp 10100 of a shipment inspection unit 10000 for electrical property testing. The transfer suction plates release the suction and return to their original position. The number of transfer suction plates corresponds to the number of 8020 cap assemblies loaded.

As the cap plate assemblies loaded onto the post-processing stamp 10100 pass through a sheet resistance check module 10300 , a contact resistance check module 10400 , or an insulation test module 10500 along a post-processing transport module 10200 , the post-processing transport module 10200 can move back and forth and up/ can move down two between opposite 10101 and 10102 electricity control blocks.

Only models of cap plate assemblies that have passed the electrical test in the shipment test unit are packed and shipped. The suction inlets (not shown) of a consignment suction plate 10610 of a consignment sorting module 10600 suck and deliver the cap assemblies, release the suction and return to their original position. The number of suction inlets corresponds to the number of cap assemblies. Inlet clearances for cap assemblies of the same model are nxD as described in Cap assembly clearances of the same model. For example, the gaps between the intakes are 2xD for the cap assemblies of two different models.

That is, a shipping suction plate with 2D spaced suction inlets sucks cap assemblies, loads the cap assemblies onto a conveyor belt 10710 of a shipment conveyor 10700, releases the suction, and packages and delivers cap assemblies of the same model while moving along the shipment conveyor belt.

Similar to the 1000 cap plate supply unit and the primary and secondary leak test units described above, a 10000 shipment testing unit checks the tightness of cap assemblies for various cap plate component manufactures and individual cap plate component models. For example, we provide 10,000 shipment test units when they want to produce one type of cap plate component model. Two 10000 shipment test units are provided when two models of cap plate components are to be produced. Three 10,000 shipment test units are provided when three models of cap plate components are to be produced.

According to the device according to the invention, the cap assemblies are not transferred using pallets or magazines, but the cap plate parts are transferred directly. Therefore, cap assemblies with a transition zone can be produced continuously efficiently without downtime for unit processing equipment maintenance and repair. In addition, different models of cap plate components as well as a single model of cap plate components can be produced simultaneously. Furthermore, in order to ensure better mixed production, a batch changeover to produce one model of cap plate parts or multiple models of cap plate parts can be facilitated. In addition, the basic cost of the equipment and the manufacturing cost of the component can be greatly reduced.
