Rather, this application is intended to cover any and all adaptations of the present application. Therefore, it is manifestly intended that this application be limited only by the following claims and equivalents thereof.

[0029] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or intervening elements can also be present. When an element is referred to as being "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or intervening elements can also be present. As used herein, the terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right", and the like are merely used for the purpose of illustration and are not intended to be limiting.

[0030] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in the description of the application herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0031] The application provides a magnetic long-stroke avoidance carrier structure for lithium battery thermal sealing. The magnetic long-stroke avoidance carrier structure for lithium battery thermal sealing comprises an upper die, a lower die, a carrier and a lifting assembly. The carrier is used to place the battery cell. The upper die and the lower die are used to clamp the air bag edge of the battery cell when the upper die and the lower die are closed. The carrier comprises a support frame and a carrier body. The carrier body is adjacent to the lower die, and a carrier groove is formed on one side of the carrier body close to the upper die. The carrier groove is used to place the battery cell, and the carrier body is arranged on the support frame. The lifting assembly is connected with the support frame, and the lifting assembly is used to drive the support frame and the carrier body to move back and forth in the direction close to or away from the upper die.

[0032] The magnetic long-stroke avoidance carrier structure for lithium battery thermal sealing makes the lifting assembly connected with the support frame, and the lifting assembly is used to drive the support frame and the carrier body to move back and forth in the direction close to or away from the upper die. The carrier body is arranged on the support frame, so that the battery cell placed on the carrier groove can increase the distance between the carrier body and the lower die through the lifting assembly. Therefore, the battery cell on the carrier groove can be relatively far away from the lower die without sealing, thereby reducing the influence of the temperature of the lower die on the temperature of the battery cell on the carrier groove, reducing the overflow problem of the battery cell, reducing the mutual interference of the lower die and the carrier groove when the lower die and the carrier groove are attached with the Teflon tape, thereby better realizing the rapid replacement of Teflon at the lower die and the carrier groove, effectively increasing the attachment effective area of the Teflon tape at the lower die and the carrier, and better ensuring the sealing efficiency and quality of the battery cell.

[0033] In order to better understand the magnetic long-stroke avoidance carrier structure for lithium battery heat sealing, the following further explains the magnetic long-stroke avoidance carrier structure for lithium battery heat sealing:

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 , an embodiment of the magnetic long-stroke avoidance carrier structure for lithium battery heat sealing 10 includes an upper die 100, a lower die 200, a carrier 300, and a lifting assembly 400A. The carrier 300 is used to place the battery cell 20, and the upper die 100 and the lower die 200 are used to clamp the air bag edge of the battery cell 20 when the upper die 100 and the lower die 200 are closed. The carrier 300 includes a support frame 310 and a carrier 320, the carrier 320 is arranged adjacent to the lower die 200, and the carrier 320 is provided with a carrier groove 301 on one side close to the upper die 100, the carrier groove 301 is used to place the battery cell 20, and the carrier 320 is arranged on the support frame 310. The lifting assembly 400A is connected with the support frame 310, and the lifting assembly 400A is used to drive the support frame 310 and the carrier 320 to move back and forth towards or away from the upper die 100.

[0035] The above-mentioned magnetic long-stroke avoidance carrier structure for lithium battery heat sealing 10 makes the lifting assembly 400A connected with the support frame 310, and the lifting assembly 400A is used to drive the support frame 310 and the carrier 320 to move back and forth towards or away from the upper die 100, and the carrier 320 is arranged on the support frame 310, so that the battery cell 20 placed in the carrier groove 301 can increase the distance between the carrier 320 and the lower die 200 through the lifting assembly 400A, and the battery cell 20 in the carrier groove 301 can be relatively far away from the lower die 200 without sealing, thereby reducing the influence of the temperature of the lower die 200 on the temperature of the battery cell 20 in the carrier groove 301, and reducing the overflow problem of the battery cell 20, and reducing the mutual interference of the lower die 200 and the carrier groove 301 when the Teflon tape is attached, thereby better realizing the rapid replacement of Teflon at the lower die 200 and the carrier groove 301, and effectively realizing the increase of the effective area of the Teflon tape attached at the lower die 200 and the carrier 300, thereby better ensuring the sealing efficiency and quality of the battery cell 20.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5In one of the embodiments, the magnetic attraction type long-stroke avoidance carrier structure 10 for lithium battery heat sealing further comprises a rack 400, the upper mold 100 and the lower mold 200 are oppositely arranged on the rack 400, and the upper mold 100 is in sliding connection with the rack 400. Further, the lifting assembly 400A is a driving cylinder, the driving cylinder is located on the side of the support frame 310 away from the upper mold 100, and the driving cylinder is arranged on the rack 400. The power output end of the driving cylinder is connected with the support frame 310, and the stability of the support frame 310 and the carrier 320 moving back and forth towards the direction close to or away from the upper mold 100 is better realized.

[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 3It can be understood that a general cylinder has two strokes. For example, the battery cell 20 is placed on the carrier groove 301, and the air bag side of the battery cell 20 protrudes from the carrier groove 301 and abuts against the lower mold 200. If the stroke of the driving cylinder is set to drive the support frame 310 to be located at a position flush with the lower mold 200 and further located at a position away from the upper mold 100, mechanical interference between the upper mold 100 and the air bag side of the battery cell 20 will affect the setting accuracy of the air bag side of the battery cell 20, and further affect the resealing accuracy of the air bag side of the battery cell 20. Therefore, the stroke of the general driving cylinder is set to drive the support frame 310 to be located at a position flush with the lower mold 200 and further located at a position between the upper mold 100 and the lower mold 200. However, when the driving cylinder drives the support frame 310 to be located between the upper mold 100 and the lower mold 200, the distance between the carrier 320 and the lower mold 200 is increased, which can better realize the increase of the effective area of the Teflon tape attached to the lower mold 200 and the carrier 300. However, the driving cylinder, the carrier 320, and the support frame 310 still have a shielding effect on the side of the lower mold 200 close to the carrier 320, which still affects the replacement efficiency of the Teflon tape of the lower mold 200. Therefore, in one embodiment, the magnetic type long-stroke avoidance carrier structure 10 for lithium battery thermal sealing further comprises a magnetic type long-stroke avoidance assembly 500. The magnetic type long-stroke avoidance assembly 500 is located on the side of the support frame 310 close to the lifting assembly 400A, one end of the magnetic type long-stroke avoidance assembly 500 is movably arranged on the rack 400, and the other end of the magnetic type long-stroke avoidance assembly 500 abuts against the support frame 310 when the driving cylinder drives the support frame 310 to move away from the upper mold 100.It can be understood that the driving cylinder still adopts two strokes, but the stroke of the driving cylinder is to drive the support frame 310 to be located between the upper die 100 and the lower die 200 and further to be located away from the upper die 100, further cooperating with the magnetic long-stroke avoidance assembly 500 located on the side of the support frame 310 close to the lifting assembly 400A, and the other end of the magnetic long-stroke avoidance assembly 500 abuts against the support frame 310 when the driving cylinder drives the support frame 310 to move away from the upper die 100, that is, the magnetic long-stroke avoidance assembly 500 is movably arranged on the rack 400, so that the driving cylinder is forced to form a third stroke by the magnetic long-stroke avoidance assembly 500 when the driving cylinder is in the stroke of driving the support frame 310 to be located away from the upper die 100, at this time, the stroke of the driving cylinder is to drive the support frame 310 to be located flush with the lower die 200, thereby realizing effective sealing of the air bag edge of the battery cell 20, further making the magnetic long-stroke avoidance assembly 500 disengage from the rack 400, at this time, the stroke of the driving cylinder is maintained to drive the support frame 310 to be located flush with the lower die 200, thereby making the support frame 310 and the carrier 320 not to shield the end of the lower die 200 close to the upper die 100, thereby realizing complete exposure of the end of the lower die 200 close to the upper die 100, and better realizing the improvement of the replacement efficiency of the Teflon tape at the lower die 200, that is, better realizing the rapid replacement of the Teflon at the lower die 200.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 It should be noted that if a driving cylinder with multiple strokes, such as a three-stroke driving cylinder, is directly used, on the one hand, the cost of the magnetic long-stroke avoidance carrier structure 10 for lithium battery hot precision sealing will be greatly increased, and on the other hand, due to the difficulty in ensuring the accuracy of the stroke position of the driving cylinder in long-term back-and-forth movement, the support frame 310 will not be located flush with the lower die 200 due to the difficulty in ensuring the accuracy of the stroke position of the driving cylinder, thereby affecting the sealing precision of the air bag edge of the battery cell 20 when the upper die 100 and the lower die 200 are closed, and further affecting the sealing quality of the air bag edge of the battery cell 20. Therefore, in the present application, the magnetic long-stroke avoidance assembly 500 is movably arranged on the rack 400, and the other end of the magnetic long-stroke avoidance assembly 500 abuts against the support frame 310 when the driving cylinder drives the support frame 310 to move away from the upper die 100, that is, the driving cylinder is forced to form a third stroke by the magnetic long-stroke avoidance assembly 500. Since the magnetic long-stroke avoidance assembly 500 can easily realize accurate position control, the accuracy of the driving cylinder driving the support frame 310 to be located flush with the lower die 200 is better ensured, thereby better ensuring the sealing quality of the air bag edge of the battery cell 20.

[0039] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the magnetic long-stroke avoidance assembly 500 includes an adjusting member 510 and a magnetic top holding member 520. The magnetic top holding member 520 is located on one side of the support frame 310 close to the lifting assembly 400A. One end of the magnetic top holding member 520 is connected to the rack 400, and the other end of the magnetic top holding member 520 is movably connected to the adjusting member 510. The adjusting member 510 moves on the magnetic top holding member 520 towards or away from the support frame. The adjusting member 510 abuts against the support frame 310 when the driving cylinder moves the support frame 310 away from the upper die 100. The distance between the magnetic top holding member 520 and the upper die 100 is greater than the distance between the lower die 200 and the upper die 100. It can be understood that the one end of the magnetic top holding member 520 is connected to the rack 400, and the other end of the magnetic top holding member 520 is movably connected to the adjusting member 510, which means that the adjusting member 510 can quickly and effectively adjust and control the stroke position of the driving cylinder driving the support frame 310. The distance between the magnetic top holding member 520 and the upper die 100 is greater than the distance between the lower die 200 and the upper die 100, which means that when the adjusting member 510 is separated from the magnetic top holding member 520, the stroke of the driving cylinder driving the support frame 310 is located at the position of the lower die 200 away from the upper die 100, which better ensures the complete exposure of the end of the lower die 200 close to the upper die 100, and better realizes the improvement of the replacement efficiency of the Teflon tape of the lower die 200, that is, better realizes the quick replacement of the Teflon at the lower die 200.

[0040] Please see Figures 2 to 5In one of the embodiments, the magnetic suction top holder 520 comprises a magnetic suction piece 521 and a top holding connecting piece 522, one end of the magnetic suction piece 521 is movably connected with the adjusting piece 510, the other end of the magnetic suction piece 521 is detachably connected with one end of the top holding connecting piece 522, and the other end of the top holding connecting piece 522 is connected with the rack 400. It can be understood that the one end of the magnetic suction piece 521 is movably connected with the adjusting piece 510, and the other end of the magnetic suction piece 521 is detachably connected with one end of the top holding connecting piece 522, that is, the adjusting piece 510 is detachably connected with the magnetic suction piece 521 and the top holding connecting piece 522, so that when the adjusting piece 510 is movably connected with the magnetic suction piece 521, the stroke position of the driving cylinder driving the support frame 310 can be quickly and effectively adjusted and controlled, and when the magnetic suction piece 521 drives the adjusting piece 510 to be separated from the top holding connecting piece 522, the stroke of the driving cylinder can be quickly and simply adjusted to drive the support frame 310 to be located at a position away from the lower mold 200 to the upper mold 100, thereby better ensuring that one end of the lower mold 200 close to the upper mold 100 is completely exposed, and better realizing the improvement of the replacement efficiency of the Teflon tape at the lower mold 200, that is, better realizing the quick replacement of the Teflon at the lower mold 200. In addition, the top holding connecting piece 522 also has a certain buffering and blocking effect on the stroke of the driving cylinder, which reduces the impact on the driving cylinder during operation, thereby better ensuring the service life of the cylinder.

[0041] For reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one of the embodiments, the top holding connecting piece 522 comprises a connecting part 5221 and a first magnetic suction part 5222, one end of the connecting part 5221 is connected with the rack 400, and the first magnetic suction part 5222 is embedded in the other end of the connecting part 5221. Further, the magnetic suction piece 521 comprises a sleeving part 5211 and a second magnetic suction part 5212, the sleeving part 5211 is provided with a sleeving groove 501, one end of the first magnetic suction part 5222 embedded in the connecting part 5221 is located at the sleeving groove 501 and is detachably connected with the sleeving part 5211, and the second magnetic suction part 5212 is embedded in the groove bottom of the sleeving groove 501, and the first magnetic suction part 5222 is magnetically connected with the second magnetic suction part 5212.
