Optionally, after the first unipolar plate and the second unipolar plate are bound to the corresponding tooling pallet 13, the first unipolar plate and the second unipolar plate bound thereto may be tracked according to the corresponding tooling pallet 13. When the first or second unipolar plate on the tooling pallet 13 is removed due to the defect detection, the first or second unipolar plate can be circulated on each station under the transportation of the logistics conveying circulation line 10, only qualified unipolar plates are processed after the tooling pallet 13 is identified by each station, then the qualified unipolar plates are fed back to the feeding station 30 to patch the unipolar plates lacking on the tooling pallet 13, and then the patch unipolar plates are processed. In addition, after the defective monopolar plate on the tooling pallet 13 is detected, the defective monopolar plate is removed, no treatment is performed on the monopolar plate on the tooling pallet 13, and the tooling pallet 13 returns to the feeding station 30 to repair the defective monopolar plate and then starts to be treated according to the normal working procedure. The first welding station 50 is used for welding a first distribution part and a first single-pole plate carried by the tooling tray 13 into a first single-pole plate assembly and placing the first single-pole plate assembly on the tooling tray 13, the second welding station 60 is used for welding a second distribution part, a water plate and a second single-pole plate carried by the tooling tray 13 into a second single-pole plate assembly and placing the second single-pole plate assembly on the tooling tray 13, the third welding station 70 is used for welding the first single-pole plate assembly and the second single-pole plate assembly carried by the tooling tray 13 into bipolar plates and placing the bipolar plates on the tooling tray 13, and the bipolar plate air tightness detection station 80 is used for detecting air tightness of the bipolar plates carried by the tooling tray 13 and differentially blanking the bipolar plates according to detection results.
Thus, the bipolar plate production line 100 can realize automatic welding and airtightness detection of bipolar plates, and rapidly and stably produce qualified bipolar plates.
The structure and function of each station will be described in order generally by the procedure.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, the logistics transportation circulation line 10 includes a conveying line 11, a lifting and refluxing mechanism 12, a tooling pallet 13, a stopping mechanism 14 and a lifting and positioning mechanism 15.
The conveying line 11 includes a first conveying line 110 and a second conveying line 112 that are disposed at intervals along a vertical direction, and the plurality of tooling trays 13 are disposed on the first conveying line 110 and the second conveying line 112, where the first conveying line 110 and the second conveying line 112 are respectively used for conveying the tooling trays 13 along opposite horizontal directions, so as to realize cyclic conveying of the station trays 13 between stations, and further facilitate rapid and stable production of qualified bipolar plates.
Two lifting and lowering reflow mechanisms 12 are respectively disposed at two ends of the conveying line 11 for transferring the tooling pallet 13 between the first conveying line 110 and the second conveying line 112 along the vertical direction. One of the lifting and lowering mechanisms 12 is used to transfer the work pallet 13 from the first conveying line 110 to the second conveying line 112, and the other lifting and lowering mechanism 12 is used to transfer the work pallet 13 from the second conveying line 112 to the first conveying line 110.
A plurality of stopping mechanisms 14 are arranged along the first conveying line 110, each stopping mechanism 14 corresponds to a station, and each stopping mechanism 14 is used for stopping the loading tray 13 when the tooling tray 13 is conveyed to the corresponding station, so that buffering and releasing of the tooling tray 13 before the corresponding station are realized, and corresponding processes are conveniently executed by each station. The lifting and positioning mechanism 15 is used for lifting the tooling pallet 13 when the tooling pallet 13 is conveyed to the corresponding station, so that the accurate positioning of the tooling pallet 13 at each station is realized.
As shown in fig. 3, the tooling pallet 13 can bear the first unipolar plate and the second unipolar plate at the same time, and positioning holes for positioning the first unipolar plate and the second unipolar plate are formed in the tooling pallet 13, so that accurate positioning of the first unipolar plate and the second unipolar plate is realized.
The first conveying line 110 drives the tooling pallet 13 to move along the horizontal direction, and pauses at positions corresponding to the stations under the action of the stopping mechanism 14 in sequence, then the lifting positioning mechanism 15 lifts the tooling pallet 13 to a preset height so that the stations execute corresponding process operations, after the operations are finished, the lifting positioning mechanism 15 returns to the original position, the stopping mechanism 14 allows the tooling pallet 13 to pass through until the empty tooling pallet 13 is transported to the second conveying line 112 by the lifting reflux mechanism 12 after the process operations are finished, and is transported to the first conveying line 110 again by the other lifting reflux mechanism 12, so that the process circulation of the tooling pallet 13 is realized.
The tool trays 13 are spaced at a set distance, and are suspended at the same time, so that corresponding process operation is realized by the tool trays 13 corresponding to the stations, namely, the tool trays 13 corresponding to the stations can be used for executing the process operation at the same time, and the manufacturing efficiency of the bipolar plate is greatly improved. If the interval distance between the adjacent tooling trays 13 is not the set distance, one of the adjacent tooling trays 13 can be cached, and then the other tooling tray is adjusted to enable the interval between the adjacent tooling trays 13 to be the set distance, so that the conveying rhythm of each tooling tray 13 is unified, and a plurality of tooling can simultaneously execute process operation with the corresponding tooling tray 13.
As shown in fig. 1, the monopole plate air tightness detection station 20 is not required to be arranged along the logistics transportation circulation line 10, and can be arranged at any position, which is not limited in the application.
As shown in fig. 4, the monopolar plate air tightness detection station 20 includes a feeding moving sliding table 21 and an air tightness detection tool 22, the feeding moving sliding table 21 is used for conveying the monopolar plate into the air tightness detection tool 22, and the air tightness detection tool 22 is used for air tightness detection of the monopolar plate so as to detect whether a leakage point exists on the monopolar plate. Considering that the monopole plate has corresponding quality control standard before delivery, the application adopts a spot check mode to detect the air tightness of the monopole plate in order to improve the manufacturing efficiency of the bipolar plate.
For example, the feeding moving sliding table 21 comprises a motor, a sliding rail, a sliding block and a supporting table, and the motor drives the sliding block to drive the supporting table to slide reciprocally along the sliding rail through a transmission piece such as a belt and a screw rod assembly, so that the monopole board is fed into the air tightness detection tool 22 and is moved out of the air tightness detection tool 22. The air tightness detection tool 22 comprises a sealed shell and an air tightness detector, wherein the air tightness detector detects the air tightness of the electrode plate in a sealed space formed by the sealed shell.

The secondary positioning platform 33 is used for flattening and positioning the first unipolar plate and the second unipolar plate, so as to reduce the risk of deformation of the first unipolar plate and the second unipolar plate during the grabbing process. In the process operation, the fourth grabbing mechanism 35 grabs the corresponding unipolar plate from the first tray 312 or the second tray 314, places the unipolar plate on the secondary positioning platform 33, and after the unipolar plate is flattened for the second time, the fourth grabbing mechanism 35 grabs and transports the unipolar plate onto the tooling tray 13.
When the first unipolar plate and the second unipolar plate are placed on the secondary positioning platform 33, the second visual detection mechanism 34 obtains position coordinates of the first unipolar plate and the second unipolar plate and feeds back to the fourth grabbing mechanism 35, so as to match the fourth grabbing mechanism 35 to realize accurate discharging after material taking.
Specifically, the fourth grabbing mechanism 35 grabs the first unipolar plate and the second unipolar plate from the unipolar plate feeding mechanism 31, and places the first unipolar plate and the second unipolar plate on the secondary positioning platform 33 for flattening and positioning, and then grabs the first unipolar plate and the second unipolar plate for the second time according to the position coordinates fed back by the second visual detection mechanism, and transfers the first unipolar plate and the second unipolar plate to the tooling tray 13.
