All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

Referring to fig. 1-4, the present application discloses a battery appearance inspection mechanism, comprising: a first test station 10 and a second test station 20, each capable of receiving a battery 1; the first driving assembly 100 is connected with the first detection table 10 and/or the second detection table 20 and can drive the first detection table 10 and/or the second detection table 20 to move along a first direction; the first detection assembly 30 and the second detection assembly 40 are oppositely arranged on two sides of the first detection table 10 and the second detection table 20 along the second direction; the second driving assembly 200 is connected to the first test stage 10 and the second test stage 20, or the first test assembly 30 and the second test assembly 40.

Wherein the first direction is the extending direction of the surface to be detected of the battery 1; for example, the left-right direction shown in fig. 1 (for convenience of picture display, fig. 1 is turned over by 90 ° to the left, and the directions of the drawings referred to herein are based on the number display directions in the actual drawings); in this case, the battery appearance detection mechanism provided in the present application is used to detect two large surfaces of the battery 1 (in other embodiments, other surfaces of the battery may be used, and the present application is not limited thereto). For convenience of description, the surface detected by the first detecting member 30 is hereinafter referred to as "first surface", and the surface detected by the second detecting member 40 is referred to as "second surface".

Wherein, the second direction is a direction in which the two batteries 1 are oppositely arranged; for example, the up-down direction shown in fig. 1; at this time, the first sensing member 30 is disposed above the first sensing stage 10, and the second sensing member 40 is disposed below the second sensing stage 20, so that one large surface of each of the two batteries 1 can be sensed after the two batteries 1 are not shielded from each other.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in the battery appearance detection mechanism provided in the present application, two batteries 1 can be placed at a time, thereby speeding up the detection efficiency. In order to facilitate the transportation of the batteries 1, a loading mechanism (not shown) generally transports two batteries 1 side by side at the same time, and places them into the first inspection stage 10 and the second inspection stage 20; that is, the first test stage 10 and the second test stage 20 are arranged side by side and spaced apart in the second direction when receiving the battery 1; at this time, the two batteries 1 overlap in projection in the second direction, that is, if the first detecting component 30 or the second detecting component 40 detects the battery 1 at this time, only one battery 1 close to it can be detected, and the other battery 1 is blocked by the current battery 1.

Therefore, the first driving assembly 100 is provided to drive the first detection table 10 and/or the second detection table 20 to move along the first direction after the first detection table 10 and the second detection table 20 receive the battery 1, so that the two batteries 1 are far away from each other and are not shielded from each other, and the first detection assembly 30 and the second detection assembly 40 can detect the two batteries 1.

In one embodiment, the first drive assembly 100 may include only one set of drives, connecting one of the first test station 10 and the second test station 20. When the detection device is used, after the two batteries 1 are respectively placed into the first detection table 10 and the second detection table 20, the first driving assembly 100 drives the first detection table 10 or the second detection table 20 connected with the first driving assembly to move along the first direction, so that the two batteries 1 are far away from each other and are not covered with each other finally.

In another embodiment, referring to fig. 1, the first driving assembly 100 includes: the first driving part 110 is connected with the first detection table 10 and can drive the first detection table 10 to move along a first direction; and a second driving member 120 connected to the second testing stage 20 and capable of driving the second testing stage 20 to move along the first direction. Taking the direction shown in fig. 1 as an example, in use, after two batteries 1 are respectively placed in the first detection station 10 and the second detection station 20, the first driving member 110 drives the first detection station 10 to move leftwards along the first direction, and the second driving member 120 drives the second detection station 20 to move rightwards along the first direction, so that the two batteries 1 are far away from each other and are not covered by each other finally. In the embodiment, the two detection tables move reversely at the same time, and compared with the independent action of one detection table, the motion stroke of each detection table is short, so that the reverse movement time of the two batteries 1 can be effectively reduced, and the detection efficiency is improved.

Specifically, the first driving element 110 and the second driving element 120 may be an air cylinder, an electric cylinder, a linear module, or a motor.

Two batteries 1 are kept away from each other to each other along the first direction after not sheltering from each other, the first face and the second face that wait to detect extend along the first direction, certain length has, can be clear for guaranteeing first detecting element 30 and second detecting element 40, detect two batteries 1's first face and second face completely, set up second drive assembly 200, make two first faces can follow the sense terminal process of first detecting element 30 in order, and two second faces can follow the sense terminal process of second detecting element 40 in order, avoid because detecting element's detection range is not enough, the condition of lou examining appears.

The second driving assembly 200 may drive the first and second inspection stages 10 and 20 to move in the first direction, and at this time, the battery 1 may be actively moved toward the first and second inspection assemblies 30 and 40, so that the first and second inspection assemblies 30 and 40 inspect the entire large surface of the battery 1. Alternatively, the second driving assembly 200 may drive the first detecting assembly 30 and the second detecting assembly 40 to move along the first direction, in which the battery 1 is stationary and the first detecting assembly 30 and the second detecting assembly 40 actively detect the entire large surface of the battery 1.

In one embodiment, the second driving assembly 200 may include only one driving member, and in this case, the first testing station 10 and the second testing station 20, or the first testing assembly 30 and the second testing assembly 40 are simultaneously disposed at the output end of the driving member, and the second driving assembly 200 can drive the first testing station 10 and the second testing station 20 connected thereto, or the first testing assembly 30 and the second testing assembly 40 move in the first direction synchronously.

For example, the first and second inspection stages 10 and 20 are provided at the output end of the first driving assembly 100, and the main body of the first driving assembly 100 is provided at the output end of the second driving assembly 200; at this time, the first driving assembly 100 drives the first detection table 10 and the second detection table 20 to be away from each other in the first direction, so that the two batteries 1 are not shielded from each other; subsequently, the second driving assembly 200 drives the first driving assembly 100, drives the first detecting platform 10 and the second detecting platform 20, and the two batteries 1 thereon to move along the first direction and towards the first detecting assembly 30 and the second detecting assembly 40, until the two batteries 1 sequentially pass through the detecting ends of the first detecting assembly 30 and the second detecting assembly 40.

For another example, the first sensing assembly 30 and the second sensing assembly 40 are disposed at the output of the second driving assembly 200; after the two batteries 1 are away from each other and are not shielded from each other along the first direction, the second driving assembly 200 directly drives the first detection assembly 30 and the second detection assembly 40 to move towards the batteries 1, and the detection is completed when the first detection assembly 30 and the second detection assembly 40 sequentially pass through the two batteries 1.

In another embodiment, referring to fig. 1, the second driving assembly 200 includes: the third driving member 210 is connected to the first detecting assembly 30 and can drive the first detecting assembly 30 to move along the first direction; and the fourth driving member 220 is connected to the second detecting assembly 40 and can drive the second detecting assembly 40 to move in the first direction. Taking the direction shown in fig. 1 as an example, the third driving member 210 is disposed above the first testing table 10, and the fourth driving member 220 is disposed below the second testing table 20, so that the testing table and the testing module carrying the battery 1 can be prevented from interfering with each other, and the mounting of the structures can be facilitated.

In other embodiments, the second driving assembly 200 may further include a plurality of driving members, which are connected to the first testing platform 10 and the second testing platform 20, and the first testing assembly 30 and the second testing assembly 40, such that the testing platforms and the testing assemblies move in opposite directions along the first direction, thereby increasing the testing efficiency.

The third driving element 210 and the fourth driving element 220 may be air cylinders, electric cylinders, linear modules, or motors.

Further, a fixing assembly 400 is provided on the first test stage 10 and/or the second test stage 20 for defining the position of the battery 1.

It is easily understood that when the first driving assembly 100 drives the first test platform 10 and/or the second test platform 20 to move along the first direction, the battery 1 is easily displaced, deviated from the initial position, and may even fall off the test platform if the battery 1 is not limited. For this reason, set up fixed subassembly 400 on examining the test table, can fix battery 1 on examining the test table to guarantee to examine the position that battery 1 was located on the test table and keep unanimous all the time, so that the battery 1 is accurately detected to the detection subassembly.

The fixing assembly 400 may be a clamping jaw, a suction cup, a positioning fixing block, or other members, as long as the position of the battery 1 on the detection table can be defined, which is not limited in the present application.

In one embodiment, the fixation assembly 400 includes a clamp; the clamp comprises a first clamping plate 411, a second clamping plate 412 and a clamping driving piece 413 for driving the first clamping plate 411 and the second clamping plate 412 to move relatively; after the battery 1 is placed on the testing table, the clamping driving member 413 can drive the first clamping plate 411 and the second clamping plate 412 to move towards each other so as to clamp the battery 1.

In this way, the first clamping plate 411 and the second clamping plate 412 can clamp the battery 1, and the position of the battery 1 is limited. When the battery 1 is detected and needs to be discharged, the clamping driving member 413 moves reversely, so that the first clamping plate 411 and the second clamping plate 412 move back to loosen the battery 1, and the battery 1 is taken away conveniently.

Wherein, the clamping driving member 413 may be a pneumatic claw, and the first clamping plate 411 and the second clamping plate 412 are respectively disposed on one driving end of the pneumatic claw. Alternatively, two sets of the clamping driving members 413 may be provided, and the two sets of the clamping driving members 413 are respectively connected to the first clamping plate 411 and the second clamping plate 412 to drive the two clamping plates to move relatively, and in this case, the clamping driving members 413 may adopt air cylinders.

Further, when the battery 1 is exchanged, the relative distance between the first clamping plate 411 and the second clamping plate 412 needs to be adjusted to ensure that the batteries 1 with different clamping lengths are clamped. In order to increase the applicability of the clamp, the clamp further comprises: a first mounting plate 414, a first clamping plate 411 being disposed on the first mounting plate 414; a second mounting plate 415, the second clamping plate 412 being disposed on the second mounting plate 415; wherein, the first clamping plate 411 and the first mounting plate 414 are provided with screw holes 416 which can correspond to each other; and/or the second clamping plate 412 and the second mounting plate 415 are provided with threaded holes 416 which can correspond to each other; the distance between the first clamping plate 411 and the second clamping plate 412 can be adjusted by locking or unlocking the screw holes 416.

With particular reference to fig. 3 and 4, the first mounting plate 414 and/or the second mounting plate 415 have a length along the length of the battery 1 (i.e., the direction in which the two clamping plates are oppositely disposed and ultimately clamp the battery 1); meanwhile, a plurality of threaded holes 416 are formed in the first mounting plate 414 and/or the second mounting plate 415 at intervals along the length direction of the battery 1; and the first clamping plate 411 and/or the second clamping plate 412 are provided with threaded holes 416 or kidney-shaped holes. Thus, by loosening the connection of the clamping plate and the threaded hole 416 of the mounting plate, the first clamping plate 411 can move on the first mounting plate 414 along the length direction of the battery to be close to or far from the second clamping plate 412; alternatively, by loosening the connection of the screw hole 416, the second clamp plate 412 can be moved on the second mounting plate 415 in the battery length direction to approach or separate from the first clamp plate 411; in this way, the relative distance between the first clamping plate 411 and the second clamping plate 412 can be adjusted.

The relative positions of the two clamping plates can be adjusted by adjusting only the positions of the first clamping plate 411 or the second clamping plate 412 or by adjusting the positions of the first clamping plate 411 and the second clamping plate 412 simultaneously. After the clamping plate is adjusted to the required position, the threaded hole 416 in the mounting plate is exposed in the threaded hole 416 in the clamping plate, and the clamping plate can be fixed on the mounting plate by using the screw to lock. When the relative distance of the clamping plate needs to be adjusted next time, the screw is loosened, and the clamping plate can move on the mounting plate.

In order to ensure that the first clamping plate 411 and the second clamping plate 412 are clamped to the battery 1 without interference from the test station, in one embodiment, referring to fig. 3 and 4, the first test station 10 is taken as an example for description, and the test station comprises: a table 11 for receiving the battery 1; a first table leg 12 and a second table leg 13 for supporting the table top 11; wherein, the first table leg 12 and the second table leg 13 have a certain length along the length direction of the battery 1; the first mounting plate 414 is provided with a first gap 417, and the first leg 12 penetrates through the first gap 417; a second notch 418 is formed in the second mounting plate 415, and the second leg 13 penetrates through the second notch 418; when the clamp driving member 413 drives the first clamping plate 411 and the second clamping plate 412 to move towards each other, the first table leg 12 and the second table leg 13 can move in the first notch 417 and the second notch 418, so as to avoid the table top 11 interfering with the movement of the clamping plates.

Further, the fixing assembly 400 further includes: the first guide 421, the first clamping plate 411 is slidably connected with the first guide 421, and the first guide 421 points to the second clamping plate 412; a second guide 422, the second clamping plate 412 is slidably connected with the second guide 422, and the second guide 422 is directed to the first clamping plate 411; wherein the clamping driving member 413 is operated to drive the first clamping plate 411 to approach or move away from each other along the first guide 421 and the second clamping plate 412 along the second guide 422.

Wherein the first and second guides 421 and 422 are provided along the length direction of the battery 1 for defining the moving direction of the first and second jaws 411 and 412. The first guide 421 and the second guide 422 may employ a guide rail.

Referring specifically to fig. 3, in order to install the first clamping plate 411 and the second clamping plate 412 in cooperation with the guide rail, the fixing assembly 400 further includes two sets of sliding blocks 423 slidably connected to the first clamping plate 411 and the second clamping plate 412, respectively. Taking the installation manner of the first clamp 411 as an example, the corresponding slide block 423 is fixedly installed, the first guide 421 is slidably connected to the slide block 423, and the first guide 421 is fixedly installed below the first installation plate 414; the clamping driving member 413 is connected to the first mounting plate 414, and can drive the first mounting plate 414 and the first guiding member 421 to move toward or away from the second clamping plate 412 along the sliding block 423.

Further, in order to prevent the battery 1 from being damaged due to a large clamping force when the first clamping plate 411 and the second clamping plate 412 clamp the battery 1, an elastic block 431 and a flexible pad 432 are further provided on the opposite surfaces of the first clamping plate 411 and the second clamping plate 412. With particular reference to FIG. 4, the middle of the resilient block 431 is recessed and the flexible pad 432 is disposed in the recess; when the battery 1 is clamped by the clamping plate, the side surface of the battery 1 can sink into the recess and is finally supported by the flexible pad 432; at the moment, the outer walls on the two sides of the recess can limit the position of the battery 1, so that the battery 1 can be better assisted to be clamped; the flexible pad 432 has a deformation amount capable of resisting the battery by self deformation, so as to avoid pressure damage to the battery 1; meanwhile, the elastic block 431 also has a deformation amount, and when the first clamping plate 411 and the second clamping plate 412 clamp the battery 1, the elastic block 431 can compensate for redundant stroke through self deformation, so that the first clamping plate 411 and the second clamping plate 412 can elastically clamp the battery 1; further, after clamping the battery 1, the elastic block 431 and the flexible pad 432 have a tendency to return to their original shape, and their elastic restoring forces can make the corresponding first clamping plate 411 and second clamping plate 412 abut against the battery 1.

The elastic block 431 and the flexible pad 432 may be made of plastic, rubber, polyurethane, or the like.

To better enable detection, the first detection assembly 30 and/or the second detection assembly 40 comprise: a camera 31 for acquiring an image of the battery 1; the focal length adjusting part 32, camera 31 set up the expansion end at focal length adjusting part 32, and focal length adjusting part 32 can drive camera 31 motion to adjust the position of camera 31 focus, so that camera 31 obtains clear battery 1 image.

With particular reference to fig. 2, two assembly modes are shown; for the first inspection assembly 30, the camera 31 is disposed on the mounting base 34, and the mounting base 34 is disposed on the bottom plate 35; the focal length adjusting piece 32 is arranged on the bottom plate 35, but the movable end of the focal length adjusting piece is connected with the mounting seat 34; the connection between the mounting seat 34 and the bottom plate 35 is released, the focal length adjusting member 32 is driven, and the mounting seat 34 can be driven to move on the bottom plate 35, so as to adjust the position of the camera 31. For the second detecting assembly 40, the camera 31 is disposed on the mounting seat 34, the mounting seat 34 is disposed on the first bottom plate 351, and the first bottom plate 351 is movably disposed on the second bottom plate 352; the focus adjusting member 32 corresponding to the second detecting member 40 is disposed on the second base plate 352, and the movable end thereof is connected to the first base plate 351; the first base plate 351 and the second base plate 352 are disconnected, the focal length adjusting member 32 is driven, the first base plate 351 and the mounting base 34 thereon and the camera 31 can be driven to move on the second base plate 352, and the position of the camera 31 is adjusted.

The camera 31 may be a CCD; the focal length adjusting member 32 may be an automatic driving member such as a cylinder or a motor, or a manual driving member such as a manual adjusting screw, as long as the camera 31 can be pushed to move, and the present application is not limited thereto.

Further, the first detection assembly 30 and/or the second detection assembly 40 further include a avoiding driving member 33, and the avoiding driving member 33 is connected to the first detection assembly 30 and/or the second detection assembly 40 and can drive the first detection assembly 30 and/or the second detection assembly 40 to approach or separate from the battery 1, so as to avoid the camera 31 interfering with the battery 1.

As can be seen by referring to fig. 1 and 2 in particular, the first detection assembly 30 and the second detection assembly 40 are disposed on two sides of the battery 1, and in order to control the floor space of the device and meet the detection requirement of the camera 31, the camera 31 is not too far away from the battery 1; meanwhile, the stroke of the first driving assembly 100 and the second driving assembly 200 does not need to be set to be too long, so that unnecessary equipment consumption and occupied land are reduced; at this time, the focal position of the camera 31 is not too far away from the main body of the camera 31, that is, the initial position of the camera 31 may be relatively close to the position where the battery 1 is loaded, and it is easy to interfere with the battery 1 being placed in the inspection station. Therefore, the avoiding driving part 33 is arranged and connected with the detection assembly which is too close to the feeding position of the battery 1, so that the detection assembly on the avoiding driving part is driven to be far away from the detection platform when the battery 1 is fed; when the batteries 1 are placed in the detection table, the two batteries 1 are driven to move to be not shielded, and then the detection assembly on the batteries is driven to be close to the detection table to realize detection.

The avoiding driving part 33 may be a driving member such as a cylinder or a motor. According to actual needs, only the first detection assembly 30 or the second detection assembly 40 may be connected to the avoiding driving member 33, or both the first detection assembly 30 and the second detection assembly 40 may be connected to the avoiding driving member 33.

For example, referring to fig. 2, the second detecting assembly 40 is connected with the avoidance driving member 33; at this time, the camera 31 of the second detecting assembly 40 is disposed at the output end of the avoidance driving member 33, and the avoidance driving member 33 is disposed at the first base plate 351. When the focal point position is adjusted, the focal length adjusting member 32 drives the first bottom plate 351 to move on the second bottom plate 352, and further drives the avoiding driving member 33 and the camera 31 to move, so as to adjust the position of the focal point of the camera 31. After the focus is adjusted, the camera 31 is basically installed in place, and in practical use, before the battery 1 is loaded, the avoidance driving part 33 drives the camera 31 to avoid the second detection platform 20, so that the battery 1 can be conveniently placed in; after the position of the battery 1 is changed, the avoiding driving part 33 drives the camera 31 to approach the second detection platform 20 again, and the detection is completed.

Further, the detection assembly uses the camera 31 to take a picture, and when the appearance image of the battery 1 is acquired, it is necessary to ensure that the battery 1 is at the focal position of the camera 31, so that the camera 310 can capture a clear image. As can be seen from the above, the present application provides two sets of cameras 31 of the first detection assembly 30 and the second detection assembly 40, and the two sets of cameras 31 are disposed on two sides of the battery 1 to detect two opposite surfaces of the battery 1; meanwhile, the present application detects two batteries 1 at a time; to explain in the orientation shown in fig. 1, two batteries 1 are placed side by side in the vertical direction and placed in a first inspection stage 10 and a second inspection stage 20 during charging; subsequently, the first driving assembly 100 drives the two detection tables to move away from each other in the left-right direction until the two batteries 1 are not shielded from each other; at this time, the two batteries 1 are arranged in a staggered manner in the vertical direction, and it can only meet the requirement of detecting the position of one of the batteries 1 when the focal positions of the two sets of cameras 31 of the first detection assembly 30 and the second detection assembly 40 are kept constant.

For this reason, the battery appearance detection mechanism that this application provided still includes displacement drive assembly 300, and displacement drive assembly 300 connects first detection platform 10 and/or second and detects platform 20 to can drive first detection platform 10 and second and detect platform 20 relative motion, to first detection platform 10 and second and detect the coplanar of platform 20.

Specifically referring to fig. 1 and 2, taking the direction shown in fig. 1 as an example for explanation, after the first driving assembly 100 drives the two detection tables to be away from each other along the left-right direction until the two batteries 1 are not shielded, and before the second driving assembly 200 drives the detection tables or the detection assemblies to move, the displacement driving assembly 300 drives the detection tables connected with the displacement driving assembly to move towards the other detection table until the two detection tables are on the same straight line along the left-right direction, and two surfaces of the batteries 1 to be detected on the displacement driving assembly are coplanar. In this way, the focus of the first detection assembly 30 is opposite to the first surface of the two batteries 1 which are coplanar, and the focus of the second detection assembly 40 is opposite to the second surface of the two batteries 1 which are coplanar, so that the camera 31 can accurately capture the images of the two batteries 1.

The displacement driving assembly 300 may employ an automatic driving member such as an air cylinder or a motor.

According to need, only one of the first and second inspection stages 10 and 20 may be provided with the displacement driving assembly 300 connected thereto; at this time, after the first driving assembly 100 drives the two detection tables to be away from each other to the two batteries 1 not to be shielded, the displacement driving assembly 300 drives the detection table connected with the displacement driving assembly to move towards the other detection table until the two batteries 1 are coplanar. Two sets of displacement driving assemblies 300 can also be arranged and respectively connected with the first detection table 10 and the second detection table 20; at this time, after the first driving assembly 100 drives the two detection tables to be away from each other until the two batteries 1 are not shielded, the two sets of displacement driving assemblies 300 respectively drive the first detection table 10 and the second detection table 20 connected thereto to move in opposite directions until the two batteries 1 are coplanar.
