Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the production of cylindrical lithium batteries, the quality of the spot welding at the bottom of the cylindrical lithium battery has an important impact on the quality of the battery, affecting the safety of the cylindrical lithium battery and the product qualification rate. When performing bottom welding on cylindrical lithium batteries, a very fine spot welding needle is used to pass through the gap in the middle of the coil and press on the connecting piece, and the other end electrode is pressed on the battery shell to form a current path for resistance welding.

[0003] In the existing technology, such as the document with publication number CN218975737U, a bottom welding structure of a cylindrical lithium battery is specifically disclosed. In this document, a device squeezes and fixes the outer wall of the steel shell through a limit block elastically connected to a second spring. Although this structural design can clamp and position steel shells of different sizes, due to the different diameters of the steel shell, when the diameter of the steel shell is small, the second spring can be fully extended. At this time, the elastic squeezing force of the second spring is relatively small. Even if the limit block can squeeze the outer wall of the steel shell, the stability of the steel shell clamping is relatively small, which is not conducive to bottom welding processing. For this reason, we propose a bottom welding structure of a cylindrical lithium battery. Utility Model Content
