Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0015] FIG. 1 is a structural schematic view of the device for assembling a power battery.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be elaborated hereinafter in connection with the drawings, such that the advantages and characteristics of the present invention can be understood more easily by a person skilled in the art, and the protection scope of the present invention can be defined more clearly and explicitly.

Embodiment 1

[0017] As shown in FIG. 1, a device for assembling a power battery, comprising a roller conveyor 3, a storage rack 10 and a high speed intelligent robot 9, wherein the roller conveyor 3 is sequentially provided thereon with a tooling plate and empty tray input station 1, a heat dissipation plate assembly station 2, a battery module assembly station 11, a hold-down strip and locking screw assembly station 4, a copper bar and distribution box assembly station 5, a sampling wire and fuse box assembly station 6, and a discharge station 7; the storage rack 10 and the six-axis robot 9 are disposed on the battery module assembly station 11; a module assembly manipulator 8 and a CCD imaging visual system are disposed on the six-axis robot 9; three sets of quick-replace clamping jaws are disposed on the module assembly manipulator 8, thus facilitating automatic replacement when a different product model is changed, and improving work efficiency. The CCD imaging visual system is used for positioning a tray, accounting the number of the products on the storage rack 10, cooperating with the module assembly manipulator 8 to place the products on the tray, and installing the module in place. The tooling plate and empty tray input station 1 and the discharge station 7 are respectively provided with an automated guided vehicle; the sampling wire and fuse box assembly station 6 is provided with an electrostatic test device. In addition, each station is provided with an abnormality alarm device and a code scanning device, wherein the code scanning device is connected to an EMS system signal.

Embodiment 2

[0018] The process for assembling a power battery is as follows:

[0019] First, the automated guided vehicle conveys a tooling plate and an empty tray to the tooling plate and empty tray input station 1 on the roller conveyor 3; the tooling plate and the empty tray are conveyed by the roller conveyor 3 to the heat dissipation plate assembly station 2 to install a water cooling plate for heat dissipation, and are then conveyed by the roller conveyor 3 to the battery module assembly station 11; the robot 9 assembled on the battery module assembly station 11 positions the tray via the CCD visual system, while the visual system accounts the number of the module products on the storage rack 10. When the number of the modules on the storage rack reaches the assembly number of the tray, the visual system cooperates with the module assembly manipulator 8 to transfer the modules onto the tray, and installs the modules in place via the module assembly manipulator 8. After the modules are installed, the tooling plate and the tray are conveyed by the roller conveyor 3 to the hold-down strip and locking screw assembly station 4 to manually complete hold-down strip assembly and screw locking; then, the tooling plate and the tray are transferred to the copper bar and distribution box assembly station 5 to manually and sequentially complete the assembly of a copper bar, a distribution box and a maintenance box; then, the tooling plate and the tray are conveyed by the roller conveyor 3 to the sampling wire and fuse box assembly station 6 to still manually and sequentially complete the assembly of a sampling wire, a fuse box and a BIC; the sampling wire and fuse box assembly station 6 can further perform an electrostatic test on the assembled power battery; after the related performances thereof are detected, the finished product can be carried away by the automated guided vehicle from the discharge station 7.

[0020] The embodiments of the present invention are elaborated here above in connection with the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments above, and may have various variations in the knowledge scope of an ordinarily person skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
