[0043] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0044] Example 1
[0045] Referring to the accompanying drawings, the present invention provides a hot pressing and shaping device for soft-pack lithium-ion batteries, comprising a workbench 100, a fixing box 102 disposed in the middle of the top of the workbench 100, a drive assembly disposed in the fixing box 102, and a conveying assembly disposed in the middle of the bottom of the workbench 100. A first fixing groove 103 and a second fixing groove 104 are disposed on the top of the workbench 100, corresponding to both sides of the fixing box 102. A plurality of processing grooves 105 are evenly distributed in each of the first fixing groove 103 and the second fixing groove 104.
[0046] A moving assembly is provided in the processing tank 105, and a material receiving seat 300 is rotatably connected to the moving assembly. A torsion spring is provided at the rotating connection, and a vertical baffle 301 is fixed to the top of the material receiving seat 300 close to the side of the fixed box 102. A shaping mechanism is provided on the side of the processing tank 105 away from the fixed box 102;
[0047] The workbench 100 is provided with a material discharge trough 106 near the fixed box 102. The material discharge trough 106 is located below one side of the material receiving seat 300 and above the conveying assembly. An inclined electric telescopic rod 107 is fixed to the bottom of the workbench 100. One end of the electric telescopic rod 107 is located in the material discharge trough 106 and is fixed with a telescopic horizontal axis 108. A cylindrical limit seat 109 is rotatably connected to the telescopic horizontal axis 108. A plurality of balls are evenly arranged on the circumferential surface of the cylindrical limit seat 109, and the cylindrical limit seat 109 contacts the bottom surface of the material receiving seat 300 through the balls.
[0048] When hot pressing and shaping the lithium battery cells, materials are loaded into the multiple processing grooves 105 in the first fixed groove 103, and the lithium battery cells are placed on the material receiving seat 300. The material receiving seat 300 is driven by the moving assembly to move the lithium battery cells to the shaping mechanism, and the lithium battery cells are hot pressed and shaped.
[0049] Then the moving assembly drives the material receiving seat 300 to return to its position and locates at the material discharge trough 106. The material receiving seat 300 is supported by the cylindrical limit seat 109 to maintain a horizontal state. When unloading, the electric telescopic rod 107 contracts, driving the telescopic horizontal axis 108 and the cylindrical limit seat 109 to move and disengage from the bottom of the material receiving seat 300, so that the material receiving seat 300 is rotated and tilted toward the material discharge trough 106 under the action of the torsion spring, so that the lithium battery cell moves down along the inclined material receiving seat 300 and falls onto the conveying assembly, so that the shaped lithium battery cell can be unloaded and conveyed.
[0050] When the driving component drives the moving components on both sides to move, the multiple material receiving seats 300 in the first fixed groove 103 complete the shaping processing and return to their positions, and the multiple material receiving seats 300 in the second fixed groove 104 complete the loading and move toward the shaping mechanism under the action of the moving component, so that when the multiple processing grooves 105 on one side return to unload, the multiple processing grooves 105 on the other side are loaded and shaped, thereby improving the processing efficiency, and through the rotatable material receiving seat 300, the unloading of lithium battery cells is faster and more convenient.
[0051] The shaping mechanism includes a fixing frame 200 fixed to the top of the processing groove 105. A spring plate 201 is provided above the fixing frame 200. The bottom of the spring plate 201 is connected to the fixing frame 200 by multiple springs evenly arranged. Vertical spring rods 202 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the bottom surface of the spring plate 201. The bottom ends of the two spring rods 202 extend into the processing groove 105 and are jointly fixed to an upper pressure seat 203.
[0052] Side pressure seats 205 are respectively provided at the two side positions corresponding to the upper pressure seat 203 in the processing groove 105, and a side pressure groove 206 is provided in the middle of the opposite surfaces of the two side pressure seats 205. First inclined surfaces 204 are symmetrically provided at both ends of the upper pressure seat 203, and a second inclined surface 207 is provided at the corresponding position of the top of the side pressure seat 205, and the upper part of the second inclined surface 207 is slidingly connected to the lower part of the first inclined surface 204, and the bottom of the side pressure seat 205 is slidingly connected to the bottom surface of the processing groove 105, and a moving block 208 is fixed in the middle of the bottom of the side pressure seat 205, and a moving groove is provided at the position of the working table 100 corresponding to the moving block 208, and the bottoms of the two moving blocks 208 extend out of the moving groove and are jointly connected to an adjustment component.
[0053] When the lithium battery cell moves to the bottom of the upper pressure seat 203, it is located between the two side pressure seats 205, and then the two moving blocks 208 are used to drive the two side pressure seats 205 to move toward the receiving seat 300 through the adjustment component. At the same time, the upper pressure seat 203 is moved down by the relative sliding of the second inclined surface 207 and the first inclined surface 204, so that the spring plate 201 compresses the spring and moves down with the upper pressure seat 203. When the end of the side pressure seat 205 contacts the side of the receiving seat 300, the bottom surface of the upper pressure seat 203 coincides with the top surface of the side pressure groove 206, and the upper pressure seat 203, the side pressure seat 205 and the receiving seat 300 are all provided with an electric heating structure, so that the lithium battery cell is hot-pressed and shaped by the receiving seat 300, the side pressure seat 205 and the upper pressure seat 203;
[0054] After the hot pressing shaping is completed, the adjusting component drives the side pressure seat 205 to move outward and return to its original position, and the upper pressure seat 203 moves upward accordingly under the action of the spring, thereby separating the side pressure seat 205 and the upper pressure seat 203 from the lithium battery cell, so that the material receiving seat 300 and the lithium battery cell can return to their original position.
[0055] Among them, the moving component includes a threaded barrel 304 rotatably connected to the center of the material receiving seat 300, and a torsion spring is provided at the rotating connection. The end of the threaded barrel 304 away from the fixed box 102 is fixed to the limit platform 305, and two limit sliding shafts 303 are symmetrically slidably connected on both sides of the limit platform 305, and one end of the limit sliding shaft 303 passes through the limit platform 305 and is fixedly connected to the end of the processing groove 105 away from the fixed box 102. A threaded shaft 302 is threadedly connected in the threaded barrel 304, and the end of the threaded shaft 302 extends into the fixed box 102 and is connected to the driving component, and the spiral rotation directions of the threaded shaft 302 in the first fixed groove 103 and the threaded shaft 302 in the second fixed groove 104 are opposite.
[0056] When the driving component drives the threaded shaft 302 to rotate, since the threads of the threaded shafts 302 on both sides rotate in opposite directions, the processing groove 105 on one side moves to load materials, while the processing groove 105 on the other side returns to unload materials; and when the threaded shaft 302 rotates, the threaded shaft 302 is limited and guided by the limiting sliding shaft 303 and the limiting platform 305, driving the material receiving seat 300 to move along the bottom surface of the processing groove 105, thereby realizing the loading and unloading movement of the lithium battery cell.
[0057] Among them, the driving assembly includes a first worm gear 307 fixed between two threaded shafts 302 at opposite end positions, a first worm 308 is engaged with the top of the first worm gear 307, multiple first worm gears 308 are coaxially fixed, and one end of the first worm gear 308 located at the side position is connected to a motor, the motor is fixed in the fixed box 102, and the first worm gear 308 is driven by the motor to make multiple first worm gears 307 rotate at the same time, thereby making multiple threaded shafts 302 in the first fixed groove 103 and the second fixed groove 104 rotate at the same time, and the material receiving seats 300 in the first fixed groove 103 and the second fixed groove 104 move in opposite directions, so that the processing groove 105 on one side is loaded and the processing groove 105 on the other side is returned to unload.
[0058] Example 2
[0059] The structure of this embodiment is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment, except that the adjustment assembly includes a fixed base 400 fixed to the bottom of the workbench 100. The fixed base 400 is located between the two moving blocks 208 and is connected to the moving blocks 208 via springs. Guide rods 401 are symmetrically fixed to both sides of the upper portion of the fixed base 400. The ends of the guide rods 401 pass through the corresponding moving blocks 208.
[0060] A spring groove 402 is provided at the lower part of the fixed seat 400, and a horizontal movable plate 403 is slidably connected in the spring groove 402. The two ends of the movable plate 403 are symmetrically arranged and rotatably connected with a connecting rod 405, and the outer end of the connecting rod 405 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the movable block 208 on the corresponding side. The bottom of the movable plate 403 is connected to the bottom end of the spring groove 402 through a spring, and a vertical movable shaft 404 is fixed in the middle of the bottom of the movable plate 403. The bottom end of the movable shaft 404 passes through the bottom end of the spring groove 402 and extends out. A cam 406 is provided at the top of the movable plate 403, and the cam 406 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the spring groove 402 and is connected to a motor.
[0061] When the position of the two side pressure seats 205 needs to be adjusted, the cam 406 is driven by the motor to rotate, so that it moves the movable plate 403 downward, and when moving downward, the connecting rods 405 at both ends are used to pull the movable block 208 to move along the guide rod 401, thereby driving the two side pressure seats 205 to move, realizing the rolling forming processing of the lithium battery cell, and then the cam 406 rotates, and the movable plate 403, connecting rod 405 and movable block 208 and other structures return to their original positions under the action of the spring, so that the side pressure seat 205 returns to its original position and disengages from the lithium battery cell, making it easier to move the formed lithium battery cell.

The second worm gear 408 is driven by the motor, so that the multiple second worm gears 407 on the same side rotate at the same time, and then the multiple cams 406 on the same side rotate at the same time, and the corresponding press forming processing is performed.

[0065] The structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that of embodiment 1, except that the positions of the two symmetrical limiting slide shafts 303 in the material receiving seat 300 are both provided with limiting shaft grooves 306. When the material receiving seat 300 is loaded with material and moves toward the upper pressure seat 203 and the side pressure seat 205, the end of the limiting slide shaft 303 extends into the limiting shaft groove 306 to avoid obstruction of the relative movement between the limiting slide shaft 303 and the material receiving seat 300, and to enable the limiting slide shaft 303 to limit the material receiving seat 300 and the threaded cylinder 304 at the same time.
