Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of battery processing, and in particular to a pole assembly core bending device and a pole assembly core bending method. Background Art

[0002] In existing battery manufacturing processes, the tabs of the A and B electrode groups are typically ultrasonically welded to a connecting piece placed between them. The connecting piece is then laser welded to the positive and negative electrodes on the cover. The connecting piece is then bent and the A and B electrode groups are flipped over and combined into a single cell. After the A and B electrodes are combined into a single cell, the cover serves as the top of the cell, with the positive and negative electrodes on it serving as the cell's two poles.

[0003] Traditional connecting tabs are thin and flexible, allowing them to bend as the A and B electrode groups are flipped during cell assembly. However, the thinness of existing battery connecting tabs limits the current flowing through them, limiting the battery's capacity. Some large-capacity battery cells now have thicker, harder tabs inside that are difficult to bend, often resulting in slow bending and impacting production efficiency. Furthermore, if the A and B electrode groups are flipped directly, the stiffness of the connecting tabs may result in the tabs not bending with the flipping of the A and B electrode groups, but bending the tabs welded to the tabs. This can lead to a break between the tabs and the connecting tabs, or even tearing of the tabs, damaging the internal cell structure and causing substandard battery cells. Summary of the Invention

When the two electrode groups 200 are flipped by the flip plate 12, the side of the connecting piece 300 is bent so that it flips simultaneously with the flipping of the electrode groups 200. After the two electrode groups 200 are closed, the side of the connecting piece 300 is further bent, and both sides of the connecting piece 300 are respectively bent on the pressing plate 22.

[0073] Example 2

[0074] See also Figures 1 to 11 This embodiment also provides a core-closing and bending method for closing and bending two pole groups 200 connected by a connecting piece 300.

[0076] Specifically, the insertion drive 24 drives the clamping drive 25 to move, driving the pressure plate 22 to move above the connecting piece 300. Then, the clamping drive 25 drives the pressure plate 22 to move downward, so that the pressure plate 22 is pressed on the connecting piece 300 to clamp the connecting piece 300.

[0077] S102: The two electrode groups 200 are flipped by the electrode group flipping mechanism 10, and the bending plate 23 is rotated to bend the connecting piece 300, so as to close the two electrode groups 200.

[0078] Specifically, the two flip driving members 13 drive the corresponding flip plates 12 to rotate, so that the two pole groups 200 respectively carried on the two flip plates 12 are flipped; at the same time, the rotating driving member 26 drives the driving wheel 271 to rotate, and through the synchronous belt 273 and the driven wheel 272, the bending plate 23 is rotated, and cooperates with the pressure plate 22 to bend the two sides of the connecting plate 300 to close the two pole groups 200.
