In order to improve the above technical problem, in other words, in order to improve the technical problem of low printing efficiency in the prior art, the conveying mechanism 11 and the battery piece printing apparatus 1 using the conveying mechanism 11 in the present application are provided.

Alternatively, referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2 in combination, the battery printing mechanism 10 includes a base 12, a conveying mechanism 11, a rotating mechanism 13, and a printing assembly 14, wherein the conveying mechanism 11, the rotating mechanism 13, and the printing assembly 14 are all disposed on the base 12, and the base 12 provides a bearing function for the conveying mechanism 11, the rotating mechanism 13, and the printing assembly 14. The conveying mechanism 11 is used for conveying the battery pieces to the rotating mechanism 13, or the conveying mechanism 11 is used for outputting the battery pieces on the rotating mechanism 13. At least a part of the rotating mechanism 13 is configured to rotate relative to the seat 12 to rotate the battery piece to correspond to the printing assembly 14, so as to facilitate the printing assembly 14 to print the battery piece.

With the first adjustment mechanism 300 lifted, the first adjustment mechanism 300 may be lifted higher than the conveying assembly 200 to jack up the battery pieces on the conveying assembly 200 and convey the battery pieces in the second direction; it should be noted that the second direction is disposed at an angle to the first direction. In addition, the first adjusting mechanism 300 may also be lowered below the conveying assembly 200 to place the battery pieces on the conveying assembly 200, so as to facilitate the conveying assembly 200 to continue to convey the battery pieces.

As described above, the battery pieces are transported in the first direction by the transfer assembly 200. When the battery piece is transported to the first adjusting mechanism 300, the battery piece can be jacked up by lifting the first adjusting mechanism 300 to make the first adjusting mechanism 300 higher than the conveying assembly 200; the battery piece is then moved in a second direction by the first adjusting mechanism 300, so that the position of the battery piece on the conveying assembly 200 can be adjusted to adjust the battery piece to a position suitable for printing. After the position of the battery piece is adjusted, the first adjusting mechanism 300 is lowered to make the first adjusting mechanism 300 lower than the conveying assembly 200, so that the battery piece can be returned to the conveying assembly 200 again, and the conveying of the battery piece through the conveying assembly 200 can be continued. Because the position of the battery piece has been adjusted in the process of conveying the battery piece by the conveying assembly 200, after the battery piece is conveyed to the rotating mechanism 13, the printing assembly 14 does not need to be adjusted again or the printing assembly 14 only needs to be finely adjusted to complete the printing of the battery piece, so that the time for adjusting the printing head is saved, the stability of the printing rhythm can be ensured, and the printing efficiency is improved.

The first and second conveyors 210 and 220 are used to convey the battery pieces in a first direction. It should be noted that the first conveying device 210 and the second conveying device 220 may be used to convey different battery pieces, in other words, the purpose of simultaneously conveying a plurality of battery pieces may be achieved by the arrangement of the first conveying device 210 and the second conveying device 220. In the embodiments of the present application, the battery piece printing apparatus 1 is described as an example of printing two half battery pieces or two full battery pieces at the same time. During the cell conveying process, the first conveying device 210 and the second conveying device 220 respectively convey one cell to convey two cells to the rotating mechanism 13.

The first adjusting mechanism 300 is disposed on the first conveying device 210 in a liftable manner, and under the action of the lifting mechanism 500, the first adjusting mechanism 300 can be lifted to be higher than the first conveying device 210 so as to adjust the position of the battery piece on the first conveying device 210. Of course, the first adjusting mechanism 300 can also be lowered to be lower than the first conveying device 210, so as to facilitate placing the battery piece on the first conveying device 210, and further, the battery piece can be continuously transported through the first conveying device 210.

It should be understood that, in the case where only the first adjustment mechanism 300 is provided, the first adjustment mechanism 300 may be provided to the second conveyor 220 in a liftable manner, so that the battery pieces on the second conveyor 220 may be adjusted by the first adjustment mechanism 300. In other words, the first adjusting mechanism 300 may be selectively disposed on the first conveyor 210 or the second conveyor 220.

In the present embodiment, the first adjustment mechanism 300 is disposed on the first conveying device 210 as an example. In order to facilitate the arrangement of the first adjusting mechanism 300, optionally, the first conveying device 210 is provided with a first conveying part 201 and a second conveying part 202 which are spaced from each other, the first conveying part 201 and the second conveying part 202 are located on the same straight line along the first direction, and both the first conveying part 201 and the second conveying part 202 are used for conveying the battery pieces along the first direction. It should be noted that the first conveying part 201 and the second conveying part 202 are sequentially arranged along the first direction, in other words, during the transportation of the battery pieces, the first conveying part 201 conveys the battery pieces to the second conveying part 202; of course, in the process of transferring the battery pieces to the second transfer part 202 by the first transfer part 201, the battery pieces pass through a gap between the first transfer part 201 and the second transfer part 202. In addition, the second transfer device 220 is used to transfer the battery pieces in the first direction.

The first adjusting mechanism 300 is arranged between the first conveying part 201 and the second conveying part 202 and is used for conveying the battery pieces along the second direction; the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The lifting mechanism 500 is disposed on the main carrying body 100, and the first adjusting mechanism 300 is connected to the lifting mechanism 500; the lifting mechanism 500 is used to raise the first adjustment mechanism 300 to make the first adjustment mechanism 300 higher than the first conveying part 201 and the second conveying part 202, and also used to lower the first adjustment mechanism 300 to make the first adjustment mechanism 300 lower than the first conveying part 201 and the second conveying part 202. Wherein, taking fig. 3 as an example, arrow P indicates a first direction; arrow W indicates the second direction.

It should be noted that, generally, in a case that the distance between two battery pieces does not need to be adjusted, the first adjusting mechanism 300 is located in the gap between the first conveying portion 201 and the second conveying portion 202, and the first adjusting mechanism 300 is lower than the first conveying portion 201 and the second conveying portion 202, at this time, the first adjusting mechanism 300 does not affect the battery pieces conveyed by the first conveying portion 201. When the distance between the battery pieces on the first conveying device 210 and the battery pieces on the second conveying device 220 needs to be adjusted, the first adjusting mechanism 300 is lifted by the lifting mechanism 500, so that a force in the second direction can be provided to the battery pieces conveyed by the first conveying part 201 through the first adjusting mechanism 300 to adjust the distance between the two battery pieces.

As described above, in the case where this conveyance mechanism 11 is applied to the battery sheet printing apparatus 1, the battery sheets can be transported in the first direction by the first conveyance part 201 and the second conveyance part 202. When the battery piece is transported to the gap between the first conveying part 201 and the second conveying part 202, the lifting mechanism 500 can lift the first adjusting mechanism 300, so that the first adjusting mechanism 300 is higher than the first conveying part 201 and the second conveying part 202, and the battery piece can be jacked up; and then conveyed in the second direction by the first adjusting mechanism 300 so that the distance between the battery plates on the first conveyor 210 and the second conveyor 220 can be adjusted to adjust the distance between the two battery plates to a distance suitable for printing. After the position of the battery piece is adjusted, the lifting mechanism 500 lowers the first adjusting mechanism 300, so that the first adjusting mechanism 300 is lower than the first conveying part 201 and the second conveying part 202, the battery piece can be returned to the first conveying part 201 and the second conveying part 202, and the battery piece can be conveyed continuously through the first conveying part 201 and the second conveying part 202. Because the distance between the two battery pieces is adjusted in the process of conveying the battery pieces by the conveying mechanism 11, after the two battery pieces are conveyed to the rotating mechanism 13, the position of the printing head does not need to be adjusted greatly, so that the process of adjusting the position of the printing head is saved, the stability of the printing rhythm can be ensured, and the printing efficiency is improved.

It should be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the first conveying device 210 and the first adjusting mechanism 300 are intersected with each other conveniently by providing the first conveying device 210 with the first conveying part 201 and the second conveying part 202 which are spaced apart from each other. In other embodiments of the present application, spaced conveying members may also be provided on the first adjustment mechanism 300, thereby achieving the intersecting arrangement of the first adjustment mechanism 300 and the conveying assembly 200. In addition, when the first adjustment mechanism 300 and the transfer unit 200 are provided in a T-shape, the first adjustment mechanism 300 and the transfer unit 200 may be considered to be provided to intersect with each other.

The first conveying unit 201 and the fourth conveying unit are disposed in parallel, that is, the first conveying unit 201 and the fourth conveying unit are disposed in parallel and in parallel; similarly, the second conveying unit 202 and the fifth conveying unit are disposed in parallel, in other words, the second conveying unit 202 and the fifth conveying unit are disposed in parallel and in parallel. The second adjustment mechanism 400 is connected to the lifting mechanism 500, and the lifting mechanism 500 is configured to lift the second adjustment mechanism 400 to make the second adjustment mechanism 400 higher than the fourth transfer portion and the fifth transfer portion, and to lower the second adjustment mechanism 400 to make the second adjustment mechanism 400 lower than the fourth transfer portion and the fifth transfer portion.

Under the condition that the positions of the battery pieces transmitted by the first conveying device 210 and the battery pieces transmitted by the second conveying device 220 need to be adjusted, the first adjusting mechanism 300 and the second adjusting mechanism 400 can be simultaneously lifted by the lifting mechanism 500, the first adjusting mechanism 300 adjusts the positions of the battery pieces transmitted by the first conveying device 210 along the second direction, and the second adjusting mechanism 400 adjusts the positions of the battery pieces transmitted by the second conveying device 220 along the third direction, so that the position adjustment between the two battery pieces can be quickly completed, and the adjustment efficiency is improved to improve the printing efficiency. It should be understood that in other embodiments of the present application, the first adjustment mechanism 300 and the second adjustment mechanism 400 may be mounted on different lifting mechanisms 500.

It should be noted that, generally, in some embodiments of the present application, in the case that the first conveyor 210 and the second conveyor 220 respectively receive one battery piece, the distance between the battery pieces on the first conveyor 210 and the battery pieces on the second conveyor 220 is larger or smaller, and it is usually necessary to increase or decrease the distance between the two battery pieces to facilitate printing on the two battery pieces; based on this, the first adjustment mechanism 300 and the second adjustment mechanism 400 generally provide forces in the second direction and the third direction to the battery cell, respectively. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the first adjustment mechanism 300 and the second adjustment mechanism 400 are both configured to provide a force in the second direction to the battery piece, and also provide a force in the third direction to the battery piece; in other words, both the first adjustment mechanism 300 and the second adjustment mechanism 400 may operate in forward and reverse directions.

For the convenience of adjusting the position of the battery plate on the conveying assembly 200 by the clamping mechanism 700, the clamping mechanism 700 corresponding to the first conveying device 210 is taken as an example for description. Optionally, the clamping plate mechanism 700 includes a first clamp 710 and a second clamp 720. The first clamping member 710 and the second clamping member 720 are connected to the driving body 600, and the first clamping member 710 and the second clamping member 720 are respectively disposed at both sides of the first transferring device 210 and extend to be higher than the first transferring device 210; the driving body 600 is used for driving at least one of the first clamping member 710 and the second clamping member 720, so that the first clamping member 710 and the second clamping member 720 are close to each other to adjust the position of the battery piece on the first conveying device 210, or the first clamping member 710 and the second clamping member 720 are far away from each other.

Alternatively, the chucking mechanism 700 is provided at the rear side or the front side of the first adjustment mechanism 300 in the first direction.

When the clamping mechanism 700 is disposed at the rear side of the first adjusting mechanism 300 in the first direction, the position of the battery piece can be further adjusted by the clamping mechanism 700 after the battery piece is adjusted by the first adjusting mechanism 300, so that the accuracy of the position of the battery piece can be improved. In other words, two adjusting mechanisms, namely the first adjusting mechanism 300 and the clamping plate mechanism 700, can be arranged to adjust the positions of the battery pieces, and after the first-stage adjustment of the first adjusting mechanism 300, the second-stage adjustment of the battery pieces is performed through the clamping plate mechanism 700, so that the position accuracy of the battery pieces can be improved.

It is worth mentioning that in the battery piece printing apparatus 1, in the case where the conveying mechanism 11 is used as a mechanism for inputting the battery pieces into the rotating mechanism 13, as the conveying mechanism 11 indicated by X in fig. 2, the clamping plate mechanism 700 in the conveying mechanism 11 is disposed at the rear side of the first adjusting mechanism 300 in the first direction to provide two-stage position adjustment for the battery pieces conveyed by the first conveying device 210, so as to improve the position accuracy of the battery pieces. Of course, in the case where the conveying mechanism 11 is used as the mechanism of the cell output rotating mechanism 13, such as the conveying mechanism 11 indicated by Y in fig. 2, the chucking mechanism 700 may be provided on the front side or the rear side of the first adjusting mechanism 300 in the first direction; the provision of the chucking mechanism 700 may also be eliminated.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the driving body 600 may adopt a synchronous belt transmission structure, a transmission chain structure, a cylinder structure, or the like.

Optionally, in order to improve the accuracy of the position adjustment of the battery sheet on the conveying assembly 200, in some embodiments of the present application, in the case that a clamping mechanism 700 is provided corresponding to the first conveying device 210, another clamping mechanism 700 may also be provided corresponding to the second conveying device 220; the clamping plate mechanism 700 includes a third clamp 810 and a fourth clamp 820. The third clamping member 810 and the fourth clamping member 820 are connected to the driving body 600, and the third clamping member 810 and the fourth clamping member 820 are respectively disposed at both sides of the second transfer device 220 and protrude higher than the second transfer device 220; the driving body 600 is used to drive at least one of the third clamping member 810 and the fourth clamping member 820, to move the third clamping member 810 and the fourth clamping member 820 closer to each other to adjust the position of the battery piece on the second transfer device 220, or to move the third clamping member 810 and the fourth clamping member 820 away from each other. That is, when the battery piece whose position is adjusted by the second adjusting mechanism 400 moves to the clamping plate mechanism 700, the battery piece can be shifted by the third clamping piece 810 and the fourth clamping piece 820 to adjust the position of the battery piece, so that the position accuracy of the battery piece is improved.

Based on the battery sheet printing mechanism 10 provided above, the battery sheet printing apparatus 1 provided herein may include two battery sheet printing mechanisms 10, as shown in fig. 1 and 2. The printing process of the battery piece will be explained by taking the battery piece printing apparatus 1 shown in fig. 1 and 2 as an example.

The battery piece printing equipment 1 comprises a plurality of conveying mechanisms 11, two rotating mechanisms 13 and two printing components 14, wherein a plurality of stations are arranged on any one rotating mechanism 13, and any rotating mechanism 13 is arranged corresponding to at least one printing component 14 and at least two conveying mechanisms 11. Among the plurality of stations on the rotating mechanism 13, at least a first station 1031, a second station 1032 and a third station 1033 are sequentially disposed, and when the rotating mechanism 13 rotates relative to the base 12, the battery pieces on the first station 1031 can be transferred to the second station 1032, and at the same time, the battery pieces on the second station 1032 are rotated to the third station 1033. One of the transfer mechanisms 11 is disposed corresponding to the first station 1031 to transfer the battery pieces to the first station 1031; the printing assembly 14 is arranged corresponding to the second station 1032 to print the battery plates on the second station 1032; another conveying mechanism 11 is arranged corresponding to the third station 1033 to output the battery pieces on the third station 1033; the conveying mechanism 11 can also convey the battery piece to a conveying mechanism 11 at the feeding end of the next battery piece printing mechanism 10; wherein, the conveying mechanism 11 at the feeding end is used for conveying the battery pieces to the rotating mechanism 13.

Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 shows a schematic diagram of a conveying process of a battery cell during a process of printing the battery cell by the battery cell printing apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present application. The conveying assembly 200 is used to convey the battery piece a and the battery piece B. When the viewing angle of fig. 5 is taken, the left cell printing mechanism 10 is taken as the first cell printing mechanism 101, and the right cell printing mechanism 10 is taken as the second cell printing mechanism 102.

That is, referring to fig. 5, the printing process of the battery piece is as follows: the feeding end conveying assembly 200 of the first battery piece printing mechanism 101 conveys the battery piece a and the battery piece B to the first station 1031 of the first battery piece printing mechanism 101 in the manner shown in the figure, and the rotating mechanism 13 rotates to rotate the two battery pieces to the second station 1032, wherein the battery piece a is positioned on the left side of the battery piece B; cell a may be printed by printing assembly 14. After the printing of the battery piece a is completed, the rotating mechanism 13 rotates to rotate the two battery pieces to the third station 1033, then the two battery pieces are output by the conveying mechanism 11 at the discharging end, and the two battery pieces are conveyed to the feeding end conveying mechanism 11 of the second battery piece printing mechanism 102. It should be noted that when two battery pieces are conveyed to the feeding end conveying mechanism 11 of the second battery piece printing mechanism 102, the positions of the battery pieces a and B are changed due to the rotation of the rotating mechanism 13 of the first battery piece printing mechanism 101. Therefore, in the case where the second cell printing mechanism 102 moves two cells to the second station 1032 of the second cell printing mechanism 102, the cell a is located at the right side of the cell B, and the cell B may be printed by the printing assembly 14. In other words, the first cell printing mechanism 101 and the second cell printing mechanism 102 have the same configuration, and by connecting the two cell printing mechanisms 10 in series, the cell a and the cell B can be efficiently printed, and the convenience can be improved without greatly adjusting the positions of the printing heads in the two cell printing mechanisms 10. Finally, after the second cell printing mechanism 102 finishes printing, the printed cell a and cell B may be output by the discharge end transfer mechanism 11 of the second cell printing mechanism 102.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, a detection device may be disposed above the first station 1031 of the first cell printing mechanism 101 and/or the second cell printing mechanism 102 to position the cell a and/or the cell B, so that a print head in the first cell printing mechanism 101 and/or the second cell printing mechanism 102 may be finely adjusted according to the position of the cell a and/or the cell B to achieve more precise printing, thereby improving printing quality and efficiency.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, visual recognition devices may be disposed at the discharging end conveying mechanism 11 of the first cell printing mechanism 101 and the discharging end conveying mechanism 11 of the second cell printing mechanism 102 to recognize and judge the printing quality of the cell a and the cell B, so that the cell with poor printing quality may be rejected at the discharging end conveying mechanism 11 of the second cell printing mechanism 102.

It should be noted that, after one set of the battery pieces a and B is transferred from the feeding end conveying mechanism 11 of the first battery piece printing mechanism 101 to the first station 1031 of the rotating mechanism 13, the next set of the battery pieces a and B may be simultaneously transferred to the feeding end conveying mechanism 11 of the first battery piece printing mechanism 101, so that the battery pieces a and B are placed at a plurality of stations on the plurality of conveying mechanisms 11 and the plurality of rotating mechanisms 13, so as to continuously print the plurality of battery pieces, thereby improving the printing efficiency.

In summary, the conveying mechanism 11 provided in the embodiment of the present application can transport the battery pieces in the first direction through the first conveying part 201 and the second conveying part 202. When the battery piece is transported to the gap between the first conveying part 201 and the second conveying part 202, the lifting mechanism 500 may lift the first adjusting mechanism 300, so that the first adjusting mechanism 300 is higher than the first conveying part 201 and the second conveying part 202, and the battery piece can be jacked up; and then conveyed in the second direction by the first adjusting mechanism 300 so that the distance between the battery plates on the first conveyor 210 and the second conveyor 220 can be adjusted to adjust the distance between the two battery plates to a distance suitable for printing. After the position of the battery piece is adjusted, the lifting mechanism 500 lowers the first adjusting mechanism 300, so that the first adjusting mechanism 300 is lower than the first conveying part 201 and the second conveying part 202, the battery piece can be returned to the first conveying part 201 and the second conveying part 202, and the battery piece can be conveyed continuously through the first conveying part 201 and the second conveying part 202. Because the distance between the two battery pieces is adjusted in the process of conveying the battery pieces by the conveying mechanism 11, after the two battery pieces are conveyed to the rotating mechanism 13, the position of the printing head does not need to be adjusted greatly, so that the process of adjusting the position of the printing head is saved, the stability of the printing rhythm can be ensured, and the printing efficiency is improved. In addition, secondary position adjustment can be performed on the battery cells on the conveying assembly 200 by arranging the clamping plate mechanism 700, so that the accuracy of the position adjustment of the battery cells is improved.

The above description is only for the specific embodiments of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope of the present invention should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
