[0064] Working principle:

[0065] The preheating oven 34 is placed on the second horizontal movable module 121 (i.e., the loading station) with the loading lifting module 12. After positioning, it is ready for loading. The loading cover movable modules 16 on both sides first lift the cover and move it to the bottom of the pressurized locking module 15. The loading fixture module 13 places the battery cells from the loading transmission line on the chassis 341. After being filled, the chassis 341 moves to the bottom of the pressurized locking module 15 and is located below the cover that has been moved to this position in advance.

[0066] After the chassis 341 is stationary, the locking module 3411 is unlocked, the loading cover plate moving module 16 lowers the cover plate to cover the battery cell, and the pressing cylinder 152 works to press the cover plate against the battery cell. After pressing, the locking module 3411 of the chassis 341 is locked, the cover plate is locked and firmly presses the battery cell, and the pressing cylinder 152 retracts. At this time, the preheating oven 34 filled with battery cells is moved to the loading scheduling device 2 through the first horizontal moving module 14.

[0067] The loading scheduling device 2 sends the preheating oven 34 to the step heating device 3 in an orderly manner through the fifth horizontal moving module 22 and the first vertical moving module 23.

[0068] According to the heating time, production capacity and the needs of the user's factory space, the inclination, length and number of layers of the unpowered roller module on the step heating device 3 are designed to perform step-by-step heating on these fixtures filled with battery cells. When the sensor of the blocking module 35 senses the preheating oven 34 coming in, the blocking cylinder 351 works to block the preheating oven 34, and then the plug-in cylinder 361 of the plug-in module 36 is started, and the plug-in male connector 362 is inserted into the plug-in female connector of the chassis 341 to fix the preheating oven 34.

[0069] After heating is completed, the preheating oven 34 moves to the unloading scheduling module, and the unloading scheduling device 4 connects the preheating oven 34 that has completed heating to the unloading and disassembling device 5 in an orderly manner through the fifth horizontal moving module 22 and the first vertical moving module 23.

[0070] After the preheating oven 34 moves to the unloading and disassembling device 5, the pressure relief cylinder 552 of the pressure relief unlocking module 55 works to press the cover plate downward, the locking module 3411 is unlocked, and the unloading cover plate moving module 56 lifts the cover plate. The chassis 341 moves to the fourth horizontal moving module 521 (i.e., the unloading station) through the third horizontal moving module 54. The unloading fixture module 53 starts to work and unloads the heated battery cells to the unloading transmission line.

[0071] After unloading is completed, the unloading cover plate moving module 56 lifts the upper cover plate into the fourth horizontal moving module 521 (i.e., the unloading station) and places it downward on the unlocked chassis 341 to form a set of unloaded preheating oven 34. The unloading lifting module 52 under the fourth horizontal moving module 521 descends to send the unloaded preheating oven 34 to the oven reflow device 6.

[0072] The unloaded preheating oven 34 is moved to the second horizontal moving module 121 (i.e., the loading station) through the oven reflow device 6, and the lifting platform of the loading lifting module 12 is raised to prepare for loading, and this cycle is repeated.

[0073] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0074] 1. The oven reflow device is set to realize the recycling of the preheating oven. The overall structure is simple, easy to realize automatic work, high production efficiency and easy maintenance;

[0075] 2. The preheating oven presses the bare battery cells onto the heating plate through the cover plate, so that the bare battery cells are quickly heated and dried, so as to achieve the effect of fast and uniform preheating;

[0076] 3. The step heating device is equipped with a multi-layer oven step assembly, which can preheat a large number of battery cells at the same time, making the work more efficient.

[0077] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or changes based on the above description, and all these improvements and changes should fall within the scope of protection of the appended claims of the present invention.

[0078] The above is an exemplary description of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned method. As long as various improvements are made by adopting the method concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the concept and technical solution of the present invention are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
