본 발명은 반제품으로서의 제조공정을 거친 리튬이온전지를 팰릿에 자동적재하도록 된 리튬이온전지의 자동적재장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to an automatic loading device for a lithium ion battery, which is configured to automatically load a lithium ion battery that has undergone a manufacturing process as a semi-finished product on a pallet.

일반적으로 전지는 전원발생의 주성분인 금속의 화학에너지를 전기에너지로 바꾸는 장치로서, 각종 소형 전자제품의 에너지원으로 이용된다.In general, a battery is a device that converts chemical energy of metal, which is a main component of power generation, into electrical energy, and is used as an energy source for various small electronic products.

이러한, 전지는 최근들어 각종 소형전자제품이 그 용도에 따라 다소 차이가 있지만 대체적으로 긴 사용시간이 요구되고 이에 부응하는 에너지원으로서 전지의 사용시간도 더불어 긴 수명이 요구됨에 따라 망간전지나 산화은전지, 수은전지, 니켈카드뮴 전지 등 보편적인 1차전지의 짧은 수명과 저성능및 저효율성을 해결하기 위해 재충전에 따른 지속력을 갖는 반영구적 수명과 경량화, 고밀도 대용량등 그 경제적인 측면에서 효율적인 고성능이 실현된 리튬이온전지의 이용이 급증하고 있는 추세이다.These batteries have recently been a little different depending on the use of various small electronic products, but generally require a long use time, and as a corresponding energy source requires a long service life as well as a manganese cell, a silver oxide battery, In order to solve the short lifespan, low performance and low efficiency of general primary batteries such as mercury battery and nickel cadmium battery, lithium has realized high efficiency in terms of economics such as semi-permanent life, light weight, high density and large capacity with sustainability due to recharging The use of ion batteries is increasing rapidly.

그러나, 이와 같은 고성능전지로서의 리튬이온전지는 양극을 잘못 연결해 사용하는 경우나 외부로부터의 전기적 영향에 따른 단락(Short)발생시 과전류발생 및 전해액의 화학작용에 의해 전지폭발과 화재사고가 유발될 수 있는데, 이를 구체적으로 설명하면 리튬이온전지는 만일 제조공정중이나 제품사용중에 외부로부터의 전기적 영향에 따른 단락이 발생되면, 그 전원발생의 주성분으로서의 원자량 6.94g, 비중 0.59g/ℓ, 용융점 180℃, 비등점 1400℃, 경도 0.6인 금속 리튬(Lithium)의 강산성과 강부식성에 의해 용질이 트리플루오로설파이트(Trifluorosulfite : LICF3SO3) 또는 과염소산염(Perchlorate : LiClO3)이고, 용매가 프로필렌카보네이트(Propylene Carbonate) 또는 디메톡시에탄(Dimethoxyethane)인 전해액의 용질과 용매, 또는 용질과 전지의 캔표면에 도금된 니켈크롬성분의 화학작용시 산화와 부식 및 발열에 따른 전지내부의 온도상승과 압력증가로 발화나 전지폭발이 초래될 수 있기 때문에 이의 안전성보상이 해결해야 될 난제인 것이다.However, the lithium ion battery as such a high-performance battery may cause a battery explosion and a fire accident due to overcurrent and chemical reaction of electrolyte when incorrectly connected positive electrodes or short circuit due to electrical influences from the outside. In detail, if a short circuit occurs due to an external electrical influence during the manufacturing process or during the use of a product, a lithium ion battery has an atomic weight of 6.94 g, a specific gravity of 0.59 g / l, a melting point of 180 ° C., and a boiling point as a main component of the power generation. The solute is trifluorosulfite (LICF 3 SO 3 ) or perchlorate (LiClO 3 ) and the solvent is propylene carbonate due to the strong acidity and corrosion resistance of metallic lithium with a hardness of 0.6 at 1400 ° C. Nickel chromate plated on the solute and solvent of the electrolyte, which is carbonate or dimethoxyethane, or the can surface of the solute and battery. Because of the chemistry it may be during the oxidation and corrosion and heat generation and temperature rise in the battery or battery explosion ignited by a pressure increase of the action will result in the difficulties to be its stability compensation must be resolved.

따라서, 리튬이온전지는 완제품사용시 제품의 안전과 신뢰를 위해 그 폭발에 대비한 안전장치가 구비됨은 물론이고 제조공정중에도 안전장치가 요구되는데, 완제품의 사용에 따른 안전성보상을 위한 안전장치가 제안 실행되고 있으나, 제조공정중에 발생되는 리튬이온전지의 발화나 폭발에 따른 안전사고의 대비책은 전무한 편이었다.Therefore, lithium ion batteries are required to be equipped with safety devices against explosions in order to ensure the safety and reliability of the product when using the finished product, as well as safety devices during the manufacturing process, and the safety device for safety compensation according to the use of the finished product is proposed and executed. However, there were no measures to prepare for safety accidents caused by ignition or explosion of lithium ion batteries generated during the manufacturing process.

리튬이온전지의 제조공정을 개략 설명하면 전지의 구성요소인 각 부품의 제조 공정과 이의 조립공정 및 전해액주입공정, 외부세척공전등 반제품으로서의 제조공정과, 반제품제조공정후 이의 예비방전공정과 시효보관에 따른 전지특성의 안정공정 및 절연포장공정등 완제품제조공정으로 대별된다.The manufacturing process of the lithium ion battery is outlined. The manufacturing process of each component that is a component of the battery, its assembly process, electrolytic solution injection process, manufacturing process as semi-finished products such as external washing process, pre-discharge process and aging storage after semi-product manufacturing process. It is roughly classified into finished product manufacturing process such as stable process of battery characteristics and insulation packing process.

이러한, 제조공정중 반제품제조공정을 거친 리튬이온전지는 후공정을 위해 등간 격의 적재부를 갖는 팰릿에 적재되는데, 종래에는 팰릿의 적재작업이 수작업에 의해 이 루어졌다.Such a lithium ion battery, which has undergone a semi-manufacturing process in the manufacturing process, is loaded on a pallet having equally spaced loading portions for a later process, and in the related art, a loading operation of the pallet was performed by hand.

그러나, 종래와 같이 수작업에 의해 실시되는 리튬이온전지의 적재작업은 팰릿에의 적재작업시 리튬이온전지에 외부로부터의 전기적 영향(전지대 전지, 전지대 기기)이 미칠 경우 전술한 바와 같은 화학작용과 이상가열과정을 거쳐 발화나 폭발이 유발되어 작업자의 부상과 각종 기기의 손상이 초래되기도 하였고 작업자의 실수로 리튬이온전지를 떨어트릴 경우에 따른 불량발생이 초래되기 쉬우며, 반제품으로서의 제조공정은 어느 정도 자동화가 실현된 반면에 완제품으로서의 제조공정은 절연포장공정을 제외하고 전반적으로 수작업에 의해 이루어져 완제품제조공정의 자동화실현에 지장을주는 요인이 되었다.However, the loading operation of the lithium ion battery, which is performed by hand as in the prior art, has a chemical effect as described above when the lithium ion battery has an external electrical influence (battery cell, battery cell device) on the pallet loading operation. Fire and explosion may be caused by overheating process, which may cause worker injury and damage to various devices, and it is easy to cause defects when a user accidentally drops a lithium ion battery. While automation has been realized to some extent, the manufacturing process as a finished product is performed by hand, except for the insulation packaging process, which is a factor that hinders the automation realization of the finished product manufacturing process.

본 발명은 전술한 바와 같이 리튬이온전지의 팰릿적재작업중 파생되는 문제점을 해결하면서 완제품제조공정의 자동화실현에 기여할 수 있도록 팰릿에의 적재를 위한 리튬이온전지의 자동적재장치를 제공함에 그 목적이 있다.The present invention aims to provide an automatic loading device for a lithium ion battery for loading on a pallet so as to contribute to the automation realization of a finished product manufacturing process while solving the problems caused during pallet loading of a lithium ion battery as described above. .

본 발명에 따른 자동적재장치의 작동을 설명하면 다음과 같다.Referring to the operation of the automatic loading device according to the present invention.

제1도 내지 제2도와 같이 반제품으로서의 제조공정을 거친 리튬이온전지(B)가 컨베이어(C)에 의해 이송되어 전지유입통로(10)를 통해 일렬로 이동된다.As shown in FIGS. 1 to 2, the lithium ion battery B, which has undergone the manufacturing process as a semi-finished product, is transferred by the conveyor C and moved in a line through the battery inflow passage 10.

이어 근접 센서(13)에 접촉되는 최초의 리튬이온전지(B)는 근접센서(13)에의 접촉에 따른 감지신호가 출력되고 이 감지신호가 입력된 ECU(23)의 제어에 따라 위치결정실린더(14)의 푸싱작동으로 리튬이온전지(B)를 밀어 전지정렬부(11)의 각 전지정렬홈(12)에 개재시키게 된다.Subsequently, the first lithium ion battery B that is in contact with the proximity sensor 13 outputs a detection signal according to the contact with the proximity sensor 13, and according to the control of the ECU 23 to which the detection signal is input, a positioning cylinder ( In the pushing operation of 14), the lithium ion battery B is pushed to be interposed in the battery alignment grooves 12 of the battery alignment unit 11.

이 때, 1개의 리튬이온전지(B)의 개재동작이 완료되면 위치결정실린더(14)의 푸쉬동작이 복귀됨에 따라 후속 이동된 리튬이온전지(B)가 근접센서(13)에 다시 접촉 되고, 이의 감지신호가 입력된 ECU(23)의 제어에 따라 모터(15)의 간헐적 구동으로 전지정렬부(11)가 후진되어 차기 전지정렬홈(12)이 위치결정실린더(14)의 푸싱작동선상에 일치된 상태에서 위치결정실린더(14)의 재 푸쉬동작이 이루어진다.At this time, when the interposition of one lithium ion battery B is completed, as the push operation of the positioning cylinder 14 is returned, the subsequently moved lithium ion battery B contacts the proximity sensor 13 again.

Is transported.

이 때, 스텝모터(19)가 작동되어 컨베이어(18)에 의해 공급된 팰릿(P)은 실린더(20)의 프레임(21)과 일체인 피스톤(22)의 승강작동으로 팰릿(P)이 들린 상태에서 그립퍼(16)가 레일(17)을 타고 이송되어 그립된 리튬이온전지(B)가 팰릿(P)에 적재된다.At this time, the pallet P supplied by the conveyor 18 is operated by the step motor 19, and the pallet P is lifted by the lifting operation of the piston 22 integrated with the frame 21 of the cylinder 20. In the state, the gripper 16 is transported on the rail 17, and the gripped lithium ion battery B is loaded on the pallet P.

이와 같이 작동되는 본 발명의 자동적재장치는 리튬이온전지의 제조공정중 반제품으로서의 제조공정을 거친 리튬이온전지를 팰릿에 적재하는 적재작업이 선공정으로부터 연계되는 자동화공정을 수행하므로 종래와 같이 수작업에 의존할 경우 외부로부터의 전기적 요인(전지대 전지 또는 전지대 기기의 접촉)에 따른 단락과 그로 인한 발화나 폭발로 인해 파생되는 작업자부상과 각종 기기의 손상등을 예방하는데 일조하며, 완제품제조공정의 자동화실현에는 기여하는 효과를 제공할 수 있는 것이다.The automatic loading device of the present invention operated as described above has an automated process in which a loading operation for loading a lithium ion battery, which has undergone a manufacturing process as a semi-finished product of a lithium ion battery, into a pallet is linked to a preliminary process.
