3.2 Stacking Rotary Tables

3.2.1 Description of the Action Flow：

1. Action process: The stacking robot unloads and unloads materials from the gluing equipment conveyor line, and performs stacking operations in the serial-parallel sequence of the module recipes. This stacking method can flexibly accommodate module combinations with different recipes in series-parallel sequences. The stacking sequence is from bottom to top, and the cells and insulating plates are alternated, from the 1st hand cell to the 1st hand insulating plate, and then to the last hand 1 cell. During the stacking process, a downward pressing and beating mechanism is simultaneously pre-pressed and fixed.  

2. The gripper is controlled by the robot to control the gripping mechanism, and the gripper is designed with photoelectric induction cells in place. The module stacking platform adopts a fixed-slope dual-station design. Each station contains dual clamps, which can place two cells at the same time. When the A station is stacking, the B station synchronously performs the moving work before extrusion, and the double station alternates, so as to improve the efficiency of stacking and moving.

 

3.2.2 Changeover Strategy Explained：

1. Change the cell gripper: choose a long-stroke clamping cylinder, which can be automatically compatible with different types of cells when changing;

2. Changing the gripper of the insulating plate: the vacuum suction cup assembly is installed on the aluminum profile, and the distance between the suction cups can be adjusted manually according to the width of the insulating plate when changing the model.

3. Electrical program: According to the serial-parallel stacking sequence of compatible modules, the robot performs the stacking operation according to the preset robot stacking sequence program. Before changing the model, the stacking program of the model-changing product is transferred.

2. Manually attach both ends to the end plate, install the side rails, first press the width direction extrusion button to make the length direction of the module horizontal; then press the extrusion start button, the cylinder drives the top plate to extrude the cell, When it reaches the set length, it stops, inserts the steel belt, punches the plastic steel belt, and rives the screw;

3. After the installation is completed, press the open button, squeeze the cylinder to retract, and then press the slide button, the installed module slides to the discharge position again, and the robot grabs it to the stationary trolley.

 

 

3.3.4 Extrusion station: Changeover Strategy Explained：

Extrusion Tooling Changeover Instructions

1. Change of handling gripper: Servo + screw clamping mechanism is adopted, and the electrical program can be switched with one key during model change;

2. Extrusion table change: choose a long-stroke clamping cylinder, which can be automatically compatible with different types of batteries when changing;

3. Robot program: According to the size of the compatible module, the robot will follow the preset robot handling program. Before changing the model, transfer the handling program of the replacement product.

 

3.4 Introduction of safety fence：

1. The design, manufacture and control of the safety fence comply with the relevant national regulations on production safety to ensure the safety of the production process.

2. Protective fences, fences, safety nets and other facilities are set up in places where human or machine damage may occur, and necessary interlocking protection is carried out. The safety door lock should be interlocked with the system. The safety door is self-locking and cannot be opened when the production line is working.

3. Entering the security door operation process: apply for entry - the robot and other equipment are parked in a safe position - the security door is opened - enter the security door.

4. Operation process for resuming production: go out of the security door – confirm that there is no one in the equipment area – close the security door, enter the recovery password, and the security door is self-locking – the equipment is operating normally.

 

3.5 Insulation withstand voltage test station：

The insulation test before welding is conducted by pressing all probes through the overall test mechanism, and then switching between the cell and the cell through the relay. Insulation test between shell and shell; Test procedure: all positive poles in series, all negative poles in series after the insulation test between the two, and then all positive.
Insulation test between pole series and housing, insulation test between all negative pole series and housing.

 

3.6 Insulation withstand voltage test station：detailed description of the equipment:

1. Operation process: the tray is lifted and positioned, the shell probe is pressed to the end plate or the side plate, and the positive probe relays of all cells are closed, so there is insulation between the positive electrode of the cell and the shell; the positive electrode of all cells is Divide into two groups, an odd-numbered group and an even-numbered group, and test the insulation between the positive electrodes.

2. Model replacement strategy: According to the arrangement of the cells corresponding to the pallet arrangement, establish a coordinate system for the coordinates of the formula skipping step. Before changing the model, call up the test jump coordinate program, carry out the first piece test OK, and proceed to the production mode after the model changing.

 

3.7 Pole photo station：

 

Introduction of pole photo station：
