Compared with the existing bending equipment, the present application can realize batch bending of the connecting tabs of multiple battery cells, effectively improve the bending efficiency, and ensure the accuracy and consistency of the bent connecting tabs, thereby improving the quality of the products.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 3 , the bending mechanism 4 comprises a bending driving assembly 41 and a bending plate 42. Wherein, the bending plate 42 is connected to the output end of the bending driving assembly 41, and the bending driving assembly 41 drives the bending plate 42 to move along the first direction C1 and the second direction C2. The multi-directional movement of the bending plate 42 can be realized by the bending driving assembly 41, which makes the bending action more flexible, and the structure of the bending plate 42 can realize accurate bending and shaping of the connecting piece, improving the quality of bending.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 4 , the bending plate 42 has a first bending surface 421 and a second bending surface 422. Wherein, the first bending surface 421 is horizontal, and the second bending surface 422 forms an included angle with the first bending surface 421. Through the cooperation of the first bending surface 421 and the second bending surface 422, the accurate bending and shaping of the connecting piece can be realized.

[0047] The bending plate 42 in the embodiment is provided with a plurality of elastic blocks 423, the elastic blocks 423 can move relative to the bending plate 42 along the second direction C2, and the second bending surface 422 is arranged on the elastic blocks 423. Specifically, the elastic blocks 423 and the bending plate 42 are provided with springs, so that the elastic blocks 423 can move along the second direction C2 under the action of pressure. By arranging the elastic blocks 423, when the bending plate 42 is bent for the second time, the elastic blocks 423 can move along the second direction under the pressure on the connecting piece, thereby buffering the pressure and protecting the connecting piece.

[0048] In order to facilitate understanding of the above technical solutions, the specific operation steps of the bending mechanism 4 are as follows: the first bending driving member 411 drives the bending plate 42 to move to the front side of the connecting piece, the second bending driving member 413 drives the bending plate 42 to move downward, so that the height of the first bending surface 421 is lower than the height of the connecting piece, then the first bending driving member 411 drives the bending plate 42 to move horizontally, so that the first bending surface 421 is located below the projection of the connecting piece in the second direction C2, the second bending driving member 413 drives the bending plate 42 to move vertically upward along the second direction C2, the first bending surface 421 is in contact with the connecting piece to bend the connecting piece for the first time, the connecting pieces of a plurality of battery cells are bent upward by 90° at the same time, then the first bending driving member 411 drives the bending plate 42 to move horizontally, and the second bending surface 422 bends the connecting piece bent for the first time for the second time, so that the connecting piece is formed into a preset angle.

[0049] Compared with the existing bending equipment which needs to be bent by a plurality of bending members, the present application can accurately bend the connecting piece by a single bending plate 42, the structure is ingenious, and the bending efficiency and quality are effectively improved.

Specifically, the first pressing driving member 32 drives the connecting plate to rise, the second pressing driving member 33 drives the connecting plate to move horizontally, so that the pressing blocks 31 move above the battery cells, then the first pressing driving member 32 drives the connecting plate to descend, so that the pressing blocks 31 press the battery cells from top to bottom, thereby ensuring the stability of the position of the battery cells in the subsequent bending process.

[0051] The pressing block 31 is provided with a shaped surface 311, and the angle of the shaped surface 311 matches the angle of the second bending surface 422. The shaped surface 311 supports and shapes the connecting piece during the second bending, and by changing the angle of the shaped surface 311, the angle of the connecting piece after the second bending can be changed, thereby meeting the needs of different products for the angle of the connecting piece.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 The identification and positioning mechanism 2 includes a visual detection assembly 21 and a rotating assembly 22. The visual detection assembly 21 is used to collect the position information of the connecting pieces of the plurality of battery cells, and the rotating assembly 22 is used to drive the plurality of battery cells to rotate so that the connecting pieces rotate to the preset positions. The visual detection assembly 21 can simultaneously identify the positions of the connecting pieces of the plurality of battery cells, and the identification efficiency is high.

[0056] In the specific implementation, the feeding mechanism 1 moves a plurality of battery cells to the rotation assembly 22 and makes the battery cells abut against the driven wheels 2211 of the fixed part 221. Then, the active part 222 moves along the first direction C1 to make the driving wheels 2221 abut against the battery cells and drive the battery cells to rotate by the driving wheels 2221 to adjust the position of the connecting piece of the battery cell. The structure is ingenious and can avoid the action interference between the active part 222 and the feeding mechanism 1 during the movement of the battery cell.
