[0040] The application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0041] Embodiment: A cylindrical battery cap vertical welding device, as shown in the figure, includes a rack 1, a battery positioning mechanism 2 arranged on the rack 1, a cap feeding assembly 5, and a welding mechanism 3. The cap feeding assembly 5 is used to vertically feed the cap to the tab of the battery positioned on the battery positioning mechanism 2. The cap feeding assembly 5, the welding mechanism 3, and the battery positioning mechanism 2 are arranged in sequence from top to bottom, and the cap feeding assembly 5 feeds the cap to the tab of the battery from top to bottom. Figures 1-3

[0042] This technical solution rationally arranges the positions of the battery positioning mechanism 2, the cap feeding assembly 5, and the welding mechanism 3, specifically in the vertical direction, fully utilizes the vertical space, reduces the area occupation in the horizontal plane, and improves the application of the welding device in a factory with a smaller area.

[0043] This embodiment is further improved: the battery positioning mechanism 2, the cap feeding assembly 5, and the welding mechanism 3 are all within the area covered by the rack 1 in the width direction, which can reduce the width of the entire welding device as much as possible and further reduce the area occupation of the welding device in the horizontal plane. Specifically, the rack 1 includes a frame body, and the frame body includes a front plate 11 and a rear plate 12 in the width direction. The battery positioning mechanism 2, the cap feeding assembly 5, and the welding mechanism 3 are between the front plate 11 and the rear plate 12.

[0044] In this embodiment, the welding mechanism 3 is within the area covered by the cap feeding assembly 5 in the width direction, and the battery positioning mechanism 2 is within the area covered by the cap feeding assembly 5 in the width direction. Such arrangement can make the overall width of the welding mechanism 3, the battery positioning mechanism 2, and the cap feeding assembly 5 as small as possible in the width direction, further reducing the area occupation of the welding device in the horizontal plane.

[0045] ​On this basis, the embodiment selects the resistance welding structure as the specific welding mechanism 3, which includes a fixed electrode 31, a feeding electrode 32, a moving piece 33 for mounting the feeding electrode 32 and capable of making the feeding electrode 32 close to or away from the fixed electrode 31, a moving piece driving structure 34 for driving the moving piece 33 to move, and the rack 1 is provided with an electrode power supply piece 37 connected with the fixed electrode 31, the electrode power supply piece 37 is a metal piece, and the surface of the electrode power supply piece 37 is provided with an insulating layer to prevent electric shock, and the rack 1 is further provided with a guide rail fixing block 381, the guide rail fixing block 381 is fixed with a guide rail 382, and the moving piece 33 is slidingly arranged on the guide rail 382 and can move on the guide rail 382.

[0046] The working principle of the resistance welding structure is that when the cap feeding assembly 5 sends the cap to the tab, the moving piece driving structure 34 acts to make the feeding electrode 32 close to the fixed electrode 31 and press the cap and the tab on the fixed electrode 31, at this time, the feeding electrode 32 and the fixed electrode 31 can weld the cap and the tab together after being powered.

[0047] By adopting the resistance welding structure, the structure size is extremely small, in this case, the overall width of the welding mechanism 3, the battery positioning mechanism 2 and the cap feeding assembly 5 is not too large, which does not require a large width of the rack 1, at the same time, the resistance welding structure only has the movement of the feeding electrode 32, the movement path is simple, the wire bundle of the feeding electrode 32 has a small swing range and a simple swing path, which does not cause the wire bundle of the feeding electrode 32 to be wound and worn, thereby ensuring the service life of the whole welding equipment, and correspondingly, the small swing range of the wire bundle does not require the rack 1 to be wide enough to provide enough space for the swing.

[0048] In the above resistance welding structure, the moving piece driving structure 34 is vertically arranged, which can further reduce the area occupied on the horizontal plane, specifically, the moving piece driving structure 34 includes a lifting block 341 and a lifting cylinder 342 connected with the lifting block 341, the rack 1 is fixedly connected with a vertical guide rail 341-1 for mounting the lifting block 341, the lifting block 341 is provided with a driving slope 3411, the driving slope 3411 is inclined downward as it approaches the moving piece 33, and the driving slope 3411 drives the moving piece 33 to move. Preferably, the moving piece 33 is provided with a roller 33-1 in rolling contact with the driving slope 3411, and when the driving slope 3411 drives the moving piece 33 to move, the roller 33-1 rolls on the driving slope 3411.

[0049] After welding is completed, the movable part 33 needs to be reset. For this purpose, the vertical welding equipment in this embodiment also includes a reset mechanism 35 for resetting the movable part 33. The reset mechanism 35 includes a spring, one end of which is connected to the movable part 33, and the other end is connected to the frame 1, specifically connected to the guide rail fixing block 381 of the frame 1.

[0050] During the movement of the moving part 33, the moving distance of the moving part 33 needs to be accurately determined so that the feeding distance of the feeding electrode 32 is appropriate. For this purpose, a position sensor 36 for detecting the moving position of the moving part 33 is also included. The position sensor 36 can be an infrared sensor. The position sensor 36 can be set on the frame 1. In this embodiment, it is set on the guide rail fixing block 381.

[0051] In this embodiment, the cap feeding component 5, such as Figures 4-7 As shown, the device includes a loading frame 50, on which a channel body 51 with a discharge channel is provided. The discharge channel provides a movement path for the caps and restricts the caps to fall vertically. The loading frame 50 is also equipped with a feeding turntable 52, which is located below the discharge channel and has a receiving port 521. The receiving port 521 is used to receive the caps falling vertically from the discharge channel. The feeding turntable 52 is equipped with a positioning mechanism 53 for restricting the caps in the receiving port 521. After the receiving port 521 is aligned with the discharge channel and receives the caps, the positioning mechanism 53 is activated to restrict the caps in the receiving port 521. Then, the feeding turntable 52 rotates and rotates in the vertical plane with a straight line perpendicular to the vertical plane as its central axis, rotating and conveying the caps to the battery tabs of the pre-clamped batteries. The feeding turntable 52 can achieve precise angle rotation by a control motor such as a servo motor. Positioning mechanism 53 keeps the cap in the receiving port 521 while the feeding turntable 52 rotates, preventing the cap from falling out of the receiving port 521.

[0052] This vertical feeding assembly utilizes a rotating feeding turntable 52 for conveying. Compared to the existing technology that directly pushes upright caps into the cap conveying channel, it causes less damage to the caps, thereby improving the final pass rate of the batteries.

[0053] In this embodiment, the positioning mechanism 53 adopts a suction mechanism, which is preferably an electromagnet. The receiving port 521 is provided with a mounting hole 522 for installing the suction mechanism, and the mounting hole 522 is oriented radially outward.

[0054] In this embodiment, the number of material receiving ports 521 is multiple, and the multiple material receiving ports 521 are distributed on the feeding turntable 52 at equal angles a around the center axis of the feeding turntable 52, and any material receiving port 521 with a cap is rotated to directly below the discharging channel while rotating the caps, and there is an empty material receiving port 521 rotating to directly below the discharging channel. The advantage is that during the rotation of the caps, the empty material receiving port 521 is sent to directly below the discharging channel for loading, without the need for special action to rotate the empty material receiving port 521 to directly below the discharging channel, so it is not necessary to spend special time to rotate the empty material receiving port 521 to directly below the discharging channel, which greatly improves the working efficiency of the vertical feeding assembly. The feeding turntable 52 rotates by an angle a each time to transport the caps, so that in the case of multiple material receiving ports 521 distributed at equal angles a, the maximum transportation efficiency is achieved in the shortest time, and the power input required for each transportation of a cap is less, which saves energy.

[0055] The material receiving port 521 described above is adapted to the shape of the cap and has a size appropriately larger than that of the cap to smoothly receive the cap. After the cap is rotated and transported to the positive tab of the battery by the feeding turntable 52, the positioning mechanism two 53 using an electromagnet is a rough positioning of the cap, which only ensures that the cap will not fall from the material receiving port 521. At this time, if the tab and the cap are directly welded together by a welding device, it is easy to cause unreasonable welding position, which is usually manifested as the cap being welded too high or too low. At this time, moving the tab and the cap as a whole is likely to cause the cap to not completely cover the opening of the shell, which is a defective product or waste product.

[0056] Therefore, the feeding rack 50 is also provided with a positioning structure two 56, which includes a positioning head 561 and a positioning head driving mechanism 562 for driving the positioning head 561 to approach the material receiving port 521 corresponding to the battery tab. The positioning head driving mechanism 562 can be a pneumatic cylinder, which is preferably a sliding table pneumatic cylinder. The positioning head 561 is connected to the positioning head driving mechanism 562 through a positioning head mounting block 563. The feeding rack 50 is provided with a mounting plate 560 for mounting the positioning head driving mechanism 562. The positioning head 561 is provided with a magnetic attraction structure 5611 capable of attracting the cap and a positioning pin 5612 capable of cooperating with a positioning groove pre-provided at the center of the cap. The magnetic attraction structure 5611 is an electromagnet, which can be directly arranged in the positioning pin 5612 or beside the positioning pin 5612. The side of the feeding turntable 52 close to the positioning head 561 is communicated with the material receiving port 521 and forms a clearance for the positioning pin 5612.

[0057] The working principle of the positioning structure two 56 is that when the cap is conveyed, the positioning head driving mechanism 562 is actuated to make the positioning pin 5612 inserted into the positioning groove at the center position of the cap, at this time, the magnetic attraction structure 5611 adopting the electromagnet is energized, the positioning mechanism one 53 adopting the electromagnet is de-energized, and the cap is attracted, so that each cap can obtain a reasonable height, and the whole formed by the tab and the cap after welding can be completely attached to the opening of the shell after being flattened, thereby improving the qualified rate of welding, when the welding between the cap and the battery tab is completed, the positioning head driving mechanism 562 drives the positioning head 561 to reset, and waits for the next positioning of the new cap.

[0058] Preferably, the discharging channel is provided with a discharging control mechanism 54 for controlling the discharging progress; the discharging control mechanism 54 comprises a blocking piece laterally penetrating into the discharging channel, and a blocking piece driving mechanism 542 connected with the blocking piece and capable of driving the blocking piece to exit the discharging channel, the blocking piece can be a rod, and the blocking piece cannot be seen in the drawing due to the angle of view, the blocking piece driving mechanism 542 can adopt a pneumatic cylinder, which is installed on the channel body 51, when the idle material receiving port 521 is rotated to below the discharging channel, the blocking piece driving mechanism 542 is actuated to make the blocking piece exit the discharging channel and release a cap. If multiple caps are released at a time, the multiple caps will be stacked together, resulting in low cap feeding quality.

[0059] Preferably, the channel body 51 is connected with a material sensor 55 for monitoring whether the discharging channel contains caps, the material sensor 55 is installed on the channel body 51 through a support 551, the channel body 51 is provided with a detection port 552, and the material sensor 55 faces the detection port 552 and monitors whether the discharging channel contains caps.

[0060] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 The battery positioning mechanism 2 comprises a lifting rod 21, a positioning table 22 fixedly connected to the top of the lifting rod 21, and a lifting cylinder 23 connected with the lifting rod 21, and the upper surface of the positioning table 22 can be provided with vertical positioning holes for positioning the battery.

[0061] The cap vertical welding equipment in the application, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 8As shown, the cap waste recycling assembly 4 is arranged on the frame 1, and is located within the area covered by the frame 1 in the width direction. The cap waste recycling assembly 4 comprises a recycling box 41, a screw rod mechanism 42, and a driving motor 43. The recycling box 41 is mounted on the screw rod slide of the screw rod mechanism 42, and the driving motor 43 is mounted on the frame 1. The driving motor 43 drives the screw rod in the screw rod mechanism 42 to rotate, so as to drive the screw rod slide to move the recycling box 41. The driving motor 43 can directly drive the screw rod, or can drive the screw rod to rotate through a belt wheel transmission structure as shown in the drawings.
