改性后的绝缘防护膜粘附胶带后以撕除的方式将绝缘防护膜从锂电电芯上剥除,由胶带自动供料系统22提供固定长度胶带,撕膜机械手单元26将胶带自动供料系统22提供的胶带粘至改性后绝缘防护膜一端,一端贴上胶带,留有一悬空部分;由滚压机构28将粘在改性后绝缘防护膜上胶带压实使胶带与改性后绝缘防护膜牢固粘结,由滚轮对胶带与绝缘防护膜重合的部分进行滚压,实现胶带与绝缘防护膜的牢固粘结;由撕膜机械手单元26通过夹取胶带的方式将绝缘防护膜撕除,使用夹爪气缸夹住胶带的悬空部分并进行撕扯,实现绝缘防护膜的剥除,同时剥除后收集废膜;

步骤三:产品进出单元24将锂电电芯23移动至工位2,此时胶带自动供料系统22开始工作,伺服电机81通过联轴器82使胶带转盘83转动一角度,由于胶带与胶带转盘83上吸附爪99有粘结力,一定长度的胶带从供料轴87的胶带卷88上拉出,导向轴三86、导向轴二85及导向轴一84对胶带的导向及张紧使每次拉出的部分胶带均为固定长度;随后通过气缸93带动压块92与胶带转盘83上吸附爪99挤压,使得胶带粘附在吸附爪99上;接着通过气缸97驱动刀杆96运动,刀杆96上安装的切刀95沿导轨94进给,将胶带切割成85mm长度的片状;气缸91将拨料块98向上顶起,使切下的胶带与吸附爪99分离;
步骤四:撕膜机械手单元26通过激光传感器107发出激光1071判定工位2处有无工件,识别出工件后将工作头移动至胶带自动供料系统22上方,由胶带吸盘104吸附剥离好的胶带105,如图15所示;随后移动至锂电电芯23上方,将胶带105粘至锂电电芯23的一端,同时留出不小于30mm的悬空部分;

步骤九:治具52的X向定位块一64、X向定位块二68、Y向定位块67与X向夹紧气缸69、Y向夹紧气缸66对锂电电芯23定位与夹紧,产品产品进出单元24将锂电电芯23移动至工位1;
重复步骤一~步骤九,完成锂电电芯23的下面C、后面D的绝缘防护膜的去除;
步骤十:后面D的绝缘防护膜去除后,产品进出单元24再次将锂电电芯23移动至工位1,治具52的直线气缸72与旋转气缸71的组合将依靠自身重力固定在产品托板65上的锂电电芯23随Z轴直线向上运动并绕Z轴顺时针旋转90°,使右面E朝向X轴负方向;如图18所示,改性机械手单元25将工作头移动至治具52的X轴负方向,按照设定参数发出激光束411对绝缘防护膜13进行改性;
步骤十一:改性结束后,治具52的直线气缸63带动刮刀62竖直向上运动,利用刮刀将右面E改性后的绝缘防护膜13铲除;
步骤十二:治具52的旋转气缸71将锂电电芯23绕Z轴逆时针旋转180°,使左面F朝向X轴负方向;
重复步骤十~步骤十一,完成锂电电芯23的左面F绝缘防护膜12的去除;

综上所述,本发明巧妙利用绝缘防护膜对一定波长激光的透射性,使激光直接作用至压敏胶层,使压敏胶升温而发生改性,最终粘性降低,从而极大降低了绝缘防护膜的去除难度;通过调控工艺参数使激光对绝缘防护膜进行改性而不伤及电芯表面铝壳;绝缘防护膜表层材料不被熔化、气化等物理损伤,锂电电芯表面温升小于70℃,锂电电芯铝材不受损伤;
利用胶带粘结整面改性后绝缘防护膜将其一起带起,即胶带自动供料系统提供胶带,机械手贴胶带,滚压机构压实胶带,机械手撕胶带,废膜收集机构收集废膜的完整流程,将改性后绝缘防护膜高效地从锂电电芯表面剥除;
改性机械手单元可快速地在空间上选择锂电电芯的加工面,从而高效地对锂电电芯右面E、左面F进行改性;
多功能治具实现锂电电芯装夹、定位与旋转及机械刮铲,撕膜及下料机械手实现胶带的吸附、绝缘防护膜的撕除、废膜的转移、锂电电芯的旋转等多种功能,一机多用,节约成本;
除上料工序为人工外,其余工序全部为自动化操作,相比于传统人工刮除方式,极大节省人力资源和生产成本,经济效益显著。
