The present disclosure relates to a transport device for a double electrode packaging device and an electrode double packaging device comprising the same.
In general, the electrode is produced, and then packaged, in a state of being wound on an electrode roll, in a packaging bag, and shipped out as a final product.
Here, in order to increase storage stability, such as prevention of moisture penetration as well as foreign substance penetration, or appearance damage, the double packaging technology performing primary packaging and secondary packaging with packaging bags of different materials was applied to the packaging of the electrode roll.
Meanwhile, in the process of transporting the electrode roll that the primary packaging had been completed to a secondary packaging location, there was a problem that a part of the packaging bag was jammed or caught in the transport device or peripheral devices, and thus the packaging bag was torn or the device was broken.
In general, the transport device of the electrode double packaging device serves to transport the electrode roll to the packaging location in a seated state. In the case of the primarily packaged electrode roll, the packaging bag was in contact with the seating portion of the transport device, and a phenomenon frequently occurred, in which the packaging bag in contact with the seating portion was torn in the contact process or in the transport process, and in order to solve this problem, a rubber pad was introduced into the seating portion.
The rubber pad needs to be replaced because it is worn out after using it for a certain period of time. However, even if the rubber pad is worn, it is not easy to immediately detect and replace it, and in fact, since the replacement time of the rubber pad was grasped from product damage caused by the wear of the rubber pad, there was a problem that product productivity was lowered.
The background description provided herein is for the purpose of generally presenting context of the disclosure. Unless otherwise indicated herein, the materials described in this section are not prior art to the claims in this application and are not admitted to be prior art, or suggestions of the prior art, by inclusion in this section.
It is a problem to be solved of the present disclosure to provide a transport device for an electrode double packaging device capable of preventing, in a process of transporting an electrode roll that the primary packaging has been completed to a secondary packaging location, a problem that a part of a packaging bag is jammed or caught in the transport device or peripheral devices, and an electrode double packaging device comprising the same.
In addition, it is a problem to be solved of the present disclosure to provide a packaging device for an electrode capable of preventing packaging bag damage due to a worn rubber pad by sensing abrasion of a rubber pad of a transport device provided on a seating portion of the primarily packaged electrode roll, and notifying the replacement time of the rubber pad.

In addition, upon the first movement mode, the edge portion of the first packaging bag positioned around the support plate may be accommodated in a space formed by a gap between the packaging bag arrangement part and the support plate. That is, upon the first movement mode, the first packaging bag portion pushed to the support plate side by the packaging bag arrangement part may be accommodated in the space formed by the gap between the packaging bag arrangement part and the support plate.
Also, the transport device for an electrode double packaging device may further comprise a seating pad provided in the seating groove, an abrasion sensing sensor for sensing abrasion of the seating pad, and a notification part for notifying pad replacement when the abrasion of the seating pad is sensed by the abrasion sensing sensor.
Furthermore, the control part may control the operation of the moving part when abrasion of the seating pad is sensed by the abrasion sensing sensor.

Hereinafter, examples of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those having ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present disclosure pertains can easily carry out them. However, the present disclosure may be embodied in various different forms, which is not limited to the examples described herein. Then, in order to clearly explain the present disclosure in the drawings, parts irrelevant to the description have been omitted, and similar reference numerals are attached to similar parts throughout the specification.
Hereinafter, the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The present disclosure relates to a transport device (1) of an electrode double packaging device for primarily packaging an unpackaged electrode roll with a first packaging bag and secondarily packaging the primarily packaged electrode roll with a second packaging bag. For example, the transport device (1) may be a device for transporting the electrode roll, on which the primary packaging is completed, to a secondary packaging location.
Referring to
The seating part (100) has a seating groove (110) for seating the primarily packaged electrode roll.
In addition, the moving part (500) is provided to move the seating part (100), and the moving part (500) may be composed of a known driving part such as an oil hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, or a motor.
The control part (600) is provided to perform a seating mode for controlling the moving part (500) to move the seating part (100) so that the electrode roll is seated in the seating groove (110), and a transport mode for transporting the seating part (100), on which the electrode roll is seated, to the secondary packaging location.
The packaging bag arrangement part (700) is provided to move together with the seating part (100) by the moving part (500), and is provided to closely attach the first packaging bag (20) toward the electrode roll seated on the seating groove (110) when moving. That is, the packaging bag arrangement part (700) performs a function of arranging the first packaging bag (20) so that the first packaging bag (20) is closely attached toward the electrode roll seated on the seating groove (110) when moving. The packaging bag arrangement part (700) is connected to the seating part (100), which may have, in one example, a plate shape.
The control part (600) may be provided to perform a seating mode for controlling the moving part (500), whereby the electrode roll moves to be seated in the seating groove (110), and a transport mode for transporting the seating part (100), on which the electrode roll is seated, to the secondary packaging location. The control part (600) may control the moving part (500) to sequentially perform a seating mode and a transport mode. In addition, the moving part (500), the seating part (100), and the packaging bag arrangement part (700) may be connected to each other. Accordingly, the seating part (100) and the packaging bag arrangement part (700) may move together in the moving direction of the moving part (500). In addition, the control part (600) may control the moving part (500) to perform a separation mode in which the electrode roll is separated from the seating part (100). The separation mode may be performed after arriving at the secondary packaging location.
Referring to
Also, the seating groove (110) is provided so that the protruding portion (13) of the electrode roll is seated, and as the protruding portion (13) is seated in the seating groove (110), it is possible to prevent the protruding portion (13) from being separated to the outside of the seating part (100) in the transport process.
Furthermore, the primarily packaged electrode roll is completely surrounded by the first packaging bag (20), and the edge portion (22) of the first packaging bag (20) is positioned around the support plate (12). The edge portion (22) of the first packaging bag (20) refers to a portion protruding to the outside without being in close contact with the electrode roll (10). In the present application, the packaging bag arrangement part (700) serves to arrange the edge portion (22) of the first packaging bag.
In addition, in the seating mode, the packaging bag arrangement part (700) is provided to closely attach the edge portion (22) of the first packaging bag (20) positioned around the support plate (12) of the electrode roll to the support plate (12) side. The edge portion (22) of the first packaging bag (20) means a portion swollen to protrude the outside of the support plate (12) without being closely attached to the support plate (12) side.
The edge portion (22) of the first packaging bag (20) may cause a problem of being caught or jammed in a peripheral device or a transport device during the transport mode. The packaging bag arrangement part (700) may prevent the jamming problem in advance by arranging the edge portion (22) of the first packaging bag (20) in the seating mode, which is a step before the transport mode.
Also, the seating mode may comprise a first movement mode in which the seating part (100) is moved in a first direction (F1) so that the seating groove (110) is located at the lower ends of the protruding portions (13) of the electrode roll, and a second movement mode in which the seating part (100) is moved in a second direction (F2) which is a perpendicular direction to the first direction (F1) so that the lower ends of the protruding portions (13) of the electrode roll are seated on the seating groove (110).
Furthermore, upon the first movement mode, the packaging bag arrangement part (700) may be provided to push the edge portion of the first packaging bag located on the top of the protruding portion (13) toward the support plate (12) while moving along the first direction (F1) from the top side of the protruding portion (13).
Referring to
In addition, upon the first movement mode, the packaging bag arrangement part (700) may be provided to move at a predetermined distance (d) apart from the support plate (12).
Upon the first movement mode, the edge portion (22) of the first packaging bag positioned around the support plate (12) may be accommodated in the space (S) formed by the gap (d) between the packaging bag arrangement part (700) and the support plate (12). That is, upon the first movement mode, the first packaging bag portion pushed to the support plate (12) side by the packaging bag arrangement part (700) may be accommodated in the space (S) formed by the gap (d) between the packaging bag arrangement part (700) and the support plate (12).
When performing the seating mode, the control part (600) may control the second movement mode to be performed after the first movement mode is performed. In the first movement mode, the seating part (100) and the protruding portion (13) do not contact each other, and in the second movement mode, the protruding portion (13) is seated on the seating groove (110).
In addition, the transport device (1) for an electrode double packaging device may comprise a seating pad (200) provided in the seating groove (110), an abrasion sensing sensor (300) for sensing abrasion of the seating pad (200), and a notification part (400) for notifying pad replacement when the abrasion of the seating pad (200) is sensed by the abrasion sensing sensor.
The seating pad (200) is provided in the seating groove (110) in which the protruding portion (13) of the primarily packaged electrode roll is seated. Accordingly, the seating pad (200) has a seating surface on which the protruding portion (13) of the electrode roll is seated. The abrasion sensing sensor (300) senses the abrasion of the seating pad (200). The notification part (400) notifies the replacement of the pad when the abrasion of the seating pad (200) is sensed by the abrasion sensing sensor (300).
In addition, the control part (600) may control the operation of the moving part (500) according to whether the abrasion of the seating pad (200) is sensed by the abrasion sensing sensor (300).
The seating pad (200) may be formed of a material different from that of the seating groove (110). For example, the seating pad (200) may be a rubber pad formed of a rubber material.
The transport device (1) according to the present application notifies the replacement time of the rubber pad (200) through the abrasion sensing sensor (300) and the notification part (400), whereby the problem that the packaging bag is torn by the worn rubber pad (200) problems can be prevented. The abrasion sensing sensor (300) may be, for example, a laser sensor.
The abrasion sensing sensor (300) is provided to recognize the seating surface of the rubber pad (200) that is not worn. When the rubber pad (200) is worn, the abrasion sensing sensor (300) generates an error because the seating surface is unrecognized. In addition, the abrasion sensing sensor (300) is provided to recognize at least some areas of the rubber pad (200). The abrasion sensing sensor (300) is provided to recognize at least some areas of the rubber pad (200), whereby in the process of replacing the worn rubber pad (200) with a new rubber pad, if the new rubber pad is not mounted by mistake (pad missing), at least some areas of the rubber pad (200) are not recognized, thereby generating an error.
When such an error occurs, the notification part (400) may notify the replacement time of the worn pad in visual and audible methods.
Also, the abrasion sensing sensor (300) may comprise a laser sensor.
Furthermore, when the abrasion of the rubber pad (200) is sensed by the laser sensor, the control part (600) may be provided to stop performing the seating mode and the transport mode of the moving part (500).
As the operation of the moving part (500) is controlled by the control part (600), the operator can safely perform the replacement work of the worn pad.
For example, when the abrasion of the rubber pad (200) is sensed by the abrasion sensing sensor (300), the control part (600) may stop performing the seating mode and the transport mode of the moving part (500). Furthermore, as the seating mode and the transport mode of the moving part (500) are stopped, the entire process of the packaging device may be stopped. This is to prevent a product with the torn packaging bag by the worn rubber pad from being shipped out as a final product.
The present application relates to an electrode double packaging device (100) comprising the transport device (1) for the electrode double packaging device described through
