Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery technology, and more specifically to a battery cap thermal bonding device. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the development of science and technology and society, people have gradually realized the harm of smoking tobacco to the body, and have gradually restricted or even banned smoking tobacco in some situations to avoid affecting people's health and the surrounding environment. With the improvement of health awareness, more and more people realize the harm of smoking, so e-cigarettes, which are healthier than cigarettes, are welcomed by people. A typical e-cigarette mainly consists of three parts: a cartridge, an vaporization device, and a battery.

[0003] Currently, electronic cigarettes typically use button-type steel-cased batteries. During the production process, the positive electrode cover, CPP tab adhesive, and negative electrode cover need to be stacked together to form a cap. Manufacturers generally use manual bonding to stack the positive electrode cover, CPP tab adhesive, and negative electrode cover. After stacking, they are fixed together using welding equipment. This manual stacking method has the disadvantages of low production efficiency and the risk of product damage during the stacking or welding process.

[0004] In view of this, it is indeed necessary to provide a technical solution to the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a battery cap thermal bonding device that solves the problems of low production efficiency and easy damage to the product during the bonding or welding process by manually bonding the positive electrode cap, CPP tab adhesive and negative electrode cap.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0020] As an improvement to the battery cap thermal bonding equipment of the present invention, the first feeding device, the second feeding device and the third feeding device all use a vibratory plate to assist in feeding.

[0021] As an improvement to the battery cap thermal bonding equipment of the present invention, it further includes a material conveying assembly, which includes a first material conveying device, a second material conveying device, a third material conveying device, and a fourth material conveying device, all of which are mounted on the main frame. The first material conveying device transports the negative electrode cap to the fixture, the second material conveying device transports the positive electrode cap, the second material conveying device transports the CPP tab adhesive, and the fourth material conveying device positions itself with the fixture using a sensor, thereby moving the thermally bonded positive electrode cap, CPP tab adhesive, and negative electrode cap from the fixture to the left.

[0026] 2) The first, second, and third feeding devices of the present invention respectively feed and arrange the positive electrode cover plate, CPP electrode tab adhesive, and negative electrode cover plate, arranging 10 of each at a time. The arranged positive electrode cover plate, CPP electrode tab adhesive, and negative electrode cover plate are transported to the fixture by the first, second, and third conveying devices, realizing the purpose of automatic material feeding and unloading. Then, the fourth conveying device moves the positive electrode cover plate, CPP electrode tab adhesive, and negative electrode cover plate that have been heat-bonded on the leftmost fixture above the moving track to the left, thereby achieving the purpose of automatic material handling.

The moving mechanism 2 is mounted on the main frame 1, and the bonding mechanism 3 is mounted on the main frame 1. The moving mechanism 2 is located below the bonding mechanism 3. A vibration module is provided on the moving mechanism 2. The positive electrode cap, CPP tab adhesive, and negative electrode cap are stacked together in sequence and placed on the moving mechanism 2 for transportation. The bonding mechanism 3 performs thermal bonding on the positive electrode cap, CPP tab adhesive, and negative electrode cap stacked together on the moving mechanism 2.

[0038] More preferably, the composite mechanism 3 includes a gantry frame 301 and a hot pressing device. The gantry frame 301 is connected to the main frame 1, and the hot pressing device is installed on the gantry frame 301. The hot pressing device is used to press and heat the stacked positive electrode cover plate, CPP tab adhesive and negative electrode cover plate.

The third conveying device 503 transports the 10 negative electrode cover plates arranged on the third feeding device 403 to the fixture 203 containing the positive electrode cover plate and CPP tab adhesive. The fourth conveying device positions itself with the fixture through a sensor, thereby moving the positive electrode cover plate, CPP tab adhesive, and negative electrode cover plate that have been thermally bonded on the leftmost fixture 203 above the moving track 202 to the left, achieving the effect of automatic feeding and unloading of the positive electrode cover plate, CPP tab adhesive, and negative electrode cover plate.
