Description

[0002] The cell is the most important component of the battery. The cell can only be assembled into a battery after being processed through mechanical / ultrasonic flattening, encapsulation, shelling, collector plate welding and other processes. Therefore, the performance of the cell has a direct impact on the performance of the battery, and the cell preparation process is very important.
[0003] At present, there are many different solutions for the current collector welding of cylindrical power batteries. The most commonly used method is to fix the current collector and the core on the pallet fixture, and transport the battery cells and the current collector to the welding mechanism through conveyor lines, double-speed chains and other transport actuators. After the transport actuator stops transporting, the current collector and the battery cells are welded. After welding, the transport actuator removes the welded current collector and battery cells. Since welding operations cannot be performed during the process of the transport actuator driving the battery cells and the current collector to enter and leave the workstation, and the time used for the transport process is much longer than the welding time, the laser utilization rate is low, the production efficiency is low, and the cost of the battery is correspondingly increased.

[0027] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a turret welding device, which includes the above-mentioned welding clamping device.
[0028] When the above technical scheme is adopted, the welding clamping device of the present invention includes a fixing part, a turret mechanism, a first cam, a second cam and multiple welding clamping mechanisms. The multiple welding clamping mechanisms are installed on the turret mechanism and are evenly distributed circumferentially around the central axis of the turret mechanism. The top and bottom ends of the welding clamping mechanism are respectively abutted against the first cam and the second cam. When the turret mechanism drives the welding clamping mechanism to rotate, the top and bottom ends of the welding clamping mechanism rotate along the first cam and the second cam respectively, and under the limitation of the first cam and the second cam, the current collecting disk can be pressed on the end face of the winding core and the clamping state can be released, so that the welding clamping mechanism can cycle between the clamping state and the released clamping state in sequence during the rotation of the turret mechanism. Therefore, the welding clamping device of the present invention can be combined with a laser welding device, and the current collecting disk and the winding core are welded while the welding clamping mechanism maintains the clamping state and rotates, so as to realize the welding of the current collecting disk and the winding core in the process of transferring the winding core, thereby improving the welding efficiency of the current collecting disk and improving the production efficiency of the cylindrical battery, thereby reducing the cost of the cylindrical battery. In addition, the turret mechanism in the present invention can guide the welding clamping mechanism during the movement process of the welding clamping mechanism to clamp the collecting disk and the winding core and release the clamping state, so that the welding clamping mechanism moves in the vertical direction, and can keep the collecting disk and the winding core coaxially arranged, thereby improving the welding quality.
[0029] Furthermore, the top end of the welding clamping mechanism is abutted against the bottom surface of the first cam, and the first cam includes a first horizontal portion, a first transition portion, a second horizontal portion, and a second transition portion, which are connected end to end and are in a ring shape, and the bottom surface of the first horizontal portion is lower than the bottom surface of the second horizontal portion, so that the bottom end of the welding clamping mechanism is abutted against the top surface of the second cam, and the second cam includes a third horizontal portion, a third transition portion, a fourth horizontal portion, and a fourth transition portion, which are connected end to end and are in a ring shape, and the top surface of the third horizontal portion is higher than the top surface of the fourth horizontal portion. Through such an arrangement, the concave and convex surface of the first cam is arranged downward, and the concave and convex surface of the second cam is arranged upward, which can facilitate the assembly of the welding clamping mechanism with the first cam and the second cam, reduce the complexity of the welding clamping mechanism, and reduce the volume of the entire welding clamping device.
[0030] Furthermore, along the rotation direction of the turret mechanism, the welding clamping mechanism passes through the starting end of the third horizontal part and the starting end of the first horizontal part in sequence during the rotation. Such an arrangement enables the welding clamping mechanism to rotate with the turret mechanism. Its bottom end first moves upward under the limit of the second cam to move the winding core to the clamping height of the clamping state. Thereafter, its top end moves downward under the limit of the first cam and presses the collecting plate down to the end face of the winding core. That is, the collecting plate clamping assembly drives the collecting plate to the clamping height of the clamping state, thereby effectively clamping the collecting plate on the winding core, avoiding the collecting plate from falling off during the pressing process, and effectively improving the clamping efficiency.
[0031] Furthermore, setting the angle between the starting end and the ending end of the first horizontal portion and the angle between the starting end and the ending end of the third horizontal portion to 180° enables the collecting plate and the winding core to remain in a compressed state for a sufficiently long time to facilitate welding operations.
[0032] Furthermore, the angle between the starting end of the third horizontal portion and the starting end of the first horizontal portion is 10°, which can not only enable the core clamping assembly to reach the height position of the clamping state first, but also enable the collecting plate and the core to remain in the clamping state for a sufficiently long time so as to weld the collecting plate and the core.
[0033] Furthermore, the welding clamping mechanism includes a collecting plate clamping assembly, a core clamping assembly and a collecting plate clamping piece, which is installed on the turret mechanism and fixed relatively to the turret mechanism, the collecting plate clamping assembly and the core clamping assembly are respectively located above and below the collecting plate clamping piece, and the collecting plate clamping assembly and the core clamping assembly can move in the vertical direction relative to the turret mechanism, so that the collecting plate can be pressed onto the core, and the clamping state can be released. Such a setting can determine the height of the welding plane (i.e., the height of the plane where the collecting plate is located after the collecting plate and the core are clamped) based on the horizontal plane where the collecting plate clamping piece is located, which facilitates the assembly of the collecting plate clamping assembly and the core clamping assembly, while also ensuring welding accuracy and thus product quality.
[0034] Furthermore, the turret mechanism is configured as an upper connecting ring, a first limiting plate, a second limiting plate, a third limiting plate, a lower connecting plate, a driving member and a plurality of guide columns, and the current collecting plate clamping assembly and the winding core clamping assembly are guided simultaneously by the same group of guide columns, so that the current collecting plate and the winding core are always arranged coaxially, which can ensure the welding accuracy, and also facilitate the positioning and installation of the current collecting plate clamping assembly and the winding core clamping assembly, thereby reducing the assembly error. In addition, with this configuration, the turret mechanism can drive the welding clamping mechanism, the current collecting plate and the winding core to rotate stably when rotating, thereby preventing the winding core and the current collecting plate from shifting in the horizontal direction relative to the turret mechanism during the rotation process.
[0035] Furthermore, the number of guide columns in each group of guide columns is at least two, and the two guide columns can limit the horizontal positions of the collecting plate clamping assembly and the winding core clamping assembly to prevent the collecting plate clamping assembly and the winding core clamping assembly from shifting in the horizontal direction relative to the turret mechanism, thereby improving the docking accuracy of the collecting plate clamping assembly and the winding core clamping assembly and ensuring the welding quality.
[0036] Furthermore, the connecting member includes a first connecting column, a second connecting column and a third connecting column. The first connecting column passes through the second limiting plate and the third limiting plate and connects the first limiting plate with the lower connecting plate. The second connecting column connects the second limiting plate and the third limiting plate. The third connecting column connects the lower connecting plate with the third limiting plate. Such an arrangement can improve the connection stability between the upper connecting ring, the first limiting plate, the second limiting plate, the third limiting plate and the lower connecting plate.
[0037] Furthermore, the collecting plate clamping member includes a clamping ring column and a plurality of clamping columns located in the clamping ring column. An annular docking groove is provided on the outer wall of the clamping ring column. The clamping ring column is inserted into the first slot and the first limiting plate is inserted into the docking slot. The groove thickness of the docking slot is the same as the thickness of the first limiting plate, thereby limiting the movement of the clamping ring column relative to the first limiting plate in the vertical direction. The clamping column is installed in the first mounting hole through a reset spring, so that the clamping column can move in the first mounting hole in the radial direction. Such a setting method has a simple structure and is convenient for clamping the collecting plate and for the collecting plate clamping assembly to press the collecting plate downward.
[0038] Furthermore, the collecting plate clamping assembly includes a pressure plate, an adjustment plate, a pressure block and a first power spring. The overall structure is simple and convenient for production, manufacturing and assembly. In addition, such a setting method can ensure the assembly accuracy of the collecting plate clamping assembly by controlling the thickness of the adjustment plate, thereby ensuring that the collecting plates of each set of welding clamping mechanisms are at the same height in the clamped state, thereby keeping the welding planes of each collecting plate at the same height, thereby ensuring the welding effect.
[0039] Furthermore, a gas path is provided on the collecting plate pressing assembly, so that a protective gas can be introduced into the welding hole, thereby improving the welding efficiency and ensuring the welding quality.
[0040] Furthermore, by setting up a gas-electric slip ring, the wiring harness and the gas path are integrated and distributed, and the gas outlet end of the rotating part of the gas-electric slip ring is located between the bottom surface of the first cam and the top surface of the first limit plate. The connecting pipe connecting the gas outlet end and the gas inlet joint does not affect the movement of the welding clamping mechanism, thereby reducing the difficulty of gas line layout and facilitating use.
[0041] Furthermore, the core clamping assembly includes a support member, a bearing member and a second power spring, and has a simple structure, which is convenient for production, manufacturing and assembly.
[0042] Furthermore, a buffer spring is arranged in the core clamping assembly, so that the bearing member can move in the vertical direction relative to the supporting member and can adjust the height of the core, thereby ensuring that the welding clamping mechanism can always clamp the collecting disk and the core when in the clamping state. In addition, the buffer spring can also compensate for the error in the vertical direction caused by the vibration generated by the rotation of the turret mechanism, the processing error of the core clamping assembly and the assembly error, so that the core clamping assembly can perfectly cooperate with the collecting disk clamping assembly to clamp the collecting disk and the core, which is more convenient to use and has a good clamping effect.
[0043] Furthermore, two limiting plates are provided to limit the winding core, thereby preventing the winding core from moving in the horizontal direction relative to the turret mechanism due to centrifugal force during the rotation of the turret mechanism.
[0044] Furthermore, a detector is correspondingly arranged for each second card slot, and the detector can detect whether there is a winding core in the second card slot, so as to facilitate the control of the operation of the laser welding device.
[0045] Furthermore, the number of welding clamping mechanisms is set to 18, which is a moderate number to meet the requirements of loading, unloading and welding rhythm, with high welding efficiency and relatively small size of the welding clamping device.
[0046] In addition, the turret welding equipment of the present invention includes the above-mentioned welding clamping device, and thus has the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned welding clamping device. Therefore, compared with the welding equipment in the prior art, the turret welding equipment of the present invention can realize the welding of the collecting plate and the winding core during the winding core conveying process, thereby effectively improving the welding efficiency of the collecting plate, avoiding equipment shutdown, and improving the production efficiency of cylindrical batteries, thereby reducing the cost of cylindrical batteries.

[0103] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", and "fourth" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0105] In addition, it should be noted that in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "connect", and "install" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through other components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0106] For details, please also refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The welding clamping device 1 of the present invention comprises a fixing member 11, a turret mechanism 12, a first cam 14, a second cam 15 and a plurality of welding clamping mechanisms 13. The fixing member 11 is used to install the turret mechanism 12, the first cam 14, the second cam 15 and the welding clamping mechanism 13, and its specific structure is not limited. For example, the fixing member 11 is a machine table or a mounting frame.
[0107] Among them, the first cam 14 and the second cam 15 are installed on the fixing member 11 and are relatively fixed to the fixing member 11, that is, the positions of the first cam 14 and the second cam 15 are fixed and do not move in the horizontal and vertical directions. The first cam 14 and the second cam 15 are spaced apart in the vertical direction; the turret mechanism 12 is installed on the fixing member 11 and can rotate around the vertical axis relative to the fixing member 11; the first cam 14 and the second cam 15 are coaxially arranged with the turret mechanism 12; a plurality of welding clamping mechanisms 13 are installed on the turret mechanism 12, and the plurality of welding clamping mechanisms 13 are evenly distributed circumferentially around the central axis of the turret mechanism 12, and the top and bottom ends of the welding clamping mechanisms 13 are respectively abutted against the first cam 14 and the second cam 15.
[0108] When the turret mechanism 12 rotates, it drives the welding clamping mechanism 13 to rotate synchronously. During the rotation of the welding clamping mechanism 13, the top and bottom ends of the welding clamping mechanism 13 rotate along the first cam 14 and the second cam 15 respectively, and under the limitation of the first cam 14 and the second cam 15, the top and bottom ends of the welding clamping mechanism 13 move relatively, and press the collecting plate 18 against the end face of the winding core 19, or make the top and bottom ends of the welding clamping mechanism 13 move away from each other to release the clamping state; and the turret mechanism 12 can guide the welding clamping mechanism 13 during the movement of the welding clamping mechanism 13 so that the welding clamping mechanism 13 moves in the vertical direction.
[0109] The welding clamping device 1 of the present invention is provided with a turret mechanism 12, a first cam 14, a second cam 15 and a plurality of welding clamping mechanisms 13. The plurality of welding clamping mechanisms 13 are installed on the turret mechanism 12 and are evenly distributed circumferentially around the central axis of the turret mechanism 12. The first cam 14 and the second cam 15 are respectively in contact with the top and bottom ends of the welding clamping mechanisms 13. When the turret mechanism 12 drives the welding clamping mechanisms 13 to rotate, the top and bottom ends of the welding clamping mechanisms 13 are respectively rotated along the first cam 14 and the second cam 15, so that the welding clamping mechanisms 13 rotate along the turret mechanism 12. During the rotation, the welding clamping mechanism 13 can alternately cycle between the pressing state and the releasing state. When in the pressing state, the current collecting plate 18 can be pressed against the end surface of the winding core 19. Thus, the welding clamping device 1 of the present invention can be combined with a laser welding device to weld the current collecting plate 18 and the winding core 19 when the welding clamping mechanism 13 is in the pressing state. The current collecting plate 18 and the winding core 19 can be welded during the transfer process of the winding core 19, thereby avoiding equipment shutdown, improving the welding efficiency of the current collecting plate 18 and the production efficiency of the cylindrical battery, and thus reducing the cost of the cylindrical battery.
[0110] In addition, during the movement of the welding clamping mechanism 13 to clamp and release the current collecting disk and the winding core, the turret mechanism 12 in the present invention can guide the welding clamping mechanism 13 so that the welding clamping mechanism 13 moves in the vertical direction, thereby enabling the current collecting disk 18 and the winding core 19 to maintain a coaxial arrangement, thereby effectively improving the welding quality.
[0111] In a preferred embodiment, please also refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Fig.17 and Fig.18 The top end of the welding clamping mechanism 13 abuts against the bottom surface of the first cam 14, and the first cam 14 includes a first horizontal portion 141, a first transition portion 142, a second horizontal portion 143, and a second transition portion 144. The first horizontal portion 141, the first transition portion 142, the second horizontal portion 143, and the second transition portion 144 are sequentially connected end to end and are annular, and the bottom surface of the first horizontal portion 141 is lower than the bottom surface of the second horizontal portion 143; the bottom end of the welding clamping mechanism 13 abuts against the top surface of the second cam 15, and the second cam 15 includes a third horizontal portion 151, a third The transition portion 152, the fourth horizontal portion 153 and the fourth transition portion 154, the third horizontal portion 151, the third transition portion 152, the fourth horizontal portion 153 and the fourth transition portion 154 are connected end to end in sequence and are annular, and the top surface of the third horizontal portion 151 is higher than the top surface of the fourth horizontal portion 153; wherein, in the circumferential direction, the third horizontal portion 151, the third transition portion 152, the fourth horizontal portion 153 and the fourth transition portion 154 are respectively located on the outside of the first horizontal portion 141, the first transition portion 142, the second horizontal portion 143 and the second transition portion 144.
[0112] The top end of the welding clamping mechanism 13 abuts against the bottom surface of the first cam 14, and the bottom end of the welding clamping mechanism 13 abuts against the top surface of the second cam 15, so that the concave and convex surface of the first cam 14 is set downward, and the concave and convex surface of the second cam 15 is set upward, which can facilitate the assembly of the welding clamping mechanism 13 with the first cam 14 and the second cam 15, reduce the complexity of the welding clamping mechanism 13, and reduce the volume of the welding clamping device 1.
[0113] In further preferred embodiments, please continue to refer to Fig.17 and Fig.18 , along the rotation direction of the turret mechanism 12, the welding clamping mechanism 13 passes through the starting end of the third horizontal portion 151 and the starting end of the first horizontal portion 141 in sequence during the rotation process. Fig.18As shown, when the rotation direction of the turret mechanism 12 is clockwise, when the turret mechanism 12 drives the welding clamping mechanism 13 to rotate, the bottom end of the welding clamping mechanism 13 first enters the third horizontal portion 151 of the second cam 15, and then the top end of the welding clamping mechanism 13 enters the first horizontal portion 141 of the first cam 14.
[0114] Along the rotation direction of the turret mechanism 12, the welding clamping mechanism 13 first passes through the starting end of the third horizontal part 151 and then passes through the starting end of the first horizontal part 141 during the rotation process. That is, the first cam 14 and the second cam 15 are arranged at a certain angle, and the starting end of the third horizontal part 151 is located in front of the starting end of the first horizontal part 141. Therefore, when the welding clamping mechanism 13 rotates, its bottom end first drives the winding core 19 to the clamping height of the clamping state, and then the top end of the welding clamping mechanism 13 drives the collecting plate 18 to the clamping height of the clamping state and presses the collecting plate 18 onto the end face of the winding core 19. It can also prevent the collecting plate 18 from falling and shifting during the downward movement, so that the collecting plate 18 and the winding core 19 remain coaxially arranged.
[0115] In another embodiment, along the rotation direction of the turret mechanism 12 , the welding clamping mechanism 13 passes through the starting end of the third horizontal portion 151 and the starting end of the first horizontal portion 141 simultaneously during the rotation process.
[0116] In a preferred embodiment, the angle between the starting end and the ending end of the first horizontal portion 141 and the angle between the starting end and the ending end of the third horizontal portion 151 are both 180°.
[0117] With this arrangement, the angle of the cam corresponding to the collecting plate 18 and the winding core 19 in the compressed state is 180°, which enables the collecting plate 18 and the winding core 19 to remain in the compressed state for a sufficiently long time to facilitate the welding operation.
[0118] In another embodiment, the angle between the starting end and the ending end of the first horizontal portion 141 and the angle between the starting end and the ending end of the third horizontal portion 151 are both 200°.
[0119] It should be noted that the present invention does not impose any restrictions on the angle between the starting end and the ending end of the first horizontal portion 141 and the third horizontal portion 151. In practical applications, those skilled in the art can set the angles of the first horizontal portion 141 and the third horizontal portion 151 in their cams according to actual needs. The specific implementation forms in the above-mentioned embodiments should not limit the protection scope of the present invention. Of course, it is preferred to set the angle between the starting end and the ending end of the first horizontal portion 141 and the angle between the starting end and the ending end of the third horizontal portion 151 to 180°, which can maintain the compression state for a sufficiently long time to ensure the welding quality, and also enable the non-compression state to last for a sufficiently long time to facilitate loading and unloading, thereby improving welding efficiency.
[0120] In a preferred embodiment, please continue to refer to Fig.18 The angle α between the starting end of the third horizontal portion 151 and the starting end of the first horizontal portion 141 is 10°.
[0121] The angle α between the starting end of the third horizontal portion 151 and the starting end of the first horizontal portion 141 is set to 10°. The setting of the 10° angle can not only enable the welding clamping mechanism 13 to stably move the winding core 19 to the clamping position, but also enable the collecting plate 18 and the winding core 19 to remain in the clamping state for a sufficiently long time to facilitate welding and easy use.
[0122] Although in the above embodiment, the concave-convex surface of the first cam 14 is set downward and the concave-convex surface of the second cam 15 is set upward, and the top and bottom ends of the welding clamping mechanism 13 are respectively abutted against the bottom surface of the first cam 14 and the top surface of the second cam 15, this does not limit the protection scope of the present invention. In practical applications, those skilled in the art can also arrange the first cam 14 and the second cam 15 in the same direction. For example: the concave-convex surfaces of the first cam 14 and the second cam 15 are both set upward, and the top and bottom ends of the welding clamping mechanism 13 are respectively abutted against the top surface of the first cam 14 and the top surface of the second cam 15, or the concave-convex surfaces of the first cam 14 and the second cam 15 are both set downward, and the top and bottom ends of the welding clamping device 1 are respectively abutted against the bottom surface of the first cam 14 and the bottom surface of the second cam 15; etc. This specific arrangement of the first cam 14 and the second cam 15 does not deviate from the basic principle of the present invention and should be limited within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0123] Of course, it is preferred to set the concave and convex surface of the first cam 14 downward and the concave and convex surface of the second cam 15 upward, and make the top and bottom ends of the welding clamping mechanism 13 abut against the bottom surface of the first cam 14 and the top surface of the second cam 15 respectively. This setting method can better assemble the welding clamping mechanism 13 and the cam, reduce the complexity of the welding clamping mechanism 13, and facilitate use.
[0124] In a preferred embodiment, please also refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The welding clamping mechanism 13 includes a current collecting plate clamping assembly 131 , a winding core clamping assembly 133 and a current collecting plate clamping member 132 .
[0125] The collecting plate clamping member 132 is installed on the turret mechanism 12 and is relatively fixed to the turret mechanism 12. The collecting plate clamping member 132 can clamp the collecting plate 18, so that the collecting plate clamping member 132 and the collecting plate 18 inside it can rotate synchronously with the turret mechanism 12; the collecting plate clamping assembly 131 and the winding core clamping assembly 133 are both connected to the turret mechanism 12 and can move in the vertical direction relative to the turret mechanism 12 respectively. The collecting plate clamping assembly 131 and the winding core clamping assembly 133 are respectively connected to the turret mechanism 12 and can move in the vertical direction relative to the turret mechanism 12 respectively. They are respectively located above and below the collecting plate clamping part 132, the collecting plate clamping assembly 131 abuts against the bottom surface of the first cam 14, and the core clamping assembly 133 abuts against the top surface of the second cam 15. The core clamping assembly 133 can carry the core 19, and when the welding clamping mechanism 13 rotates, the collecting plate clamping assembly 131 can move in the vertical direction under the limit of the first cam 14, and the core clamping assembly 133 can drive the core 19 to move in the vertical direction under the limit of the second cam 15.
[0126] The welding clamping mechanism 13 includes a collecting plate clamping assembly 131, a collecting plate clamping piece 132 and a winding core clamping assembly 133 which are arranged in sequence from top to bottom, wherein the collecting plate clamping piece 132 is used to clamp the collecting plate 18 and is relatively fixed to the turret mechanism 12, and the collecting plate clamping assembly 131 and the winding core clamping assembly 133 can move relative to the turret mechanism 12 in the vertical direction, so that when the welding clamping mechanism 13 is clamping, it can determine the height of the collecting plate 18 after clamping (i.e., the height of the welding plane) based on the horizontal plane where the collecting plate clamping piece 132 is located, which facilitates the production and assembly of the collecting plate clamping assembly 131 and the winding core clamping assembly 133, and can ensure welding accuracy and welding effect, thereby ensuring product quality.
[0127] In another embodiment, the welding clamping mechanism 13 includes a current collecting plate adsorption and clamping assembly and a winding core clamping assembly distributed from top to bottom, and the current collecting plate adsorption and clamping assembly and the winding core clamping assembly are both connected to the turret mechanism 12, and can move in the vertical direction relative to the turret mechanism 12 respectively, the bottom of the current collecting plate adsorption and clamping assembly can adsorb the current collecting plate 18, and the winding core 19 clamping assembly can carry the winding core 19. During the rotation of the welding clamping mechanism 13, the current collecting plate adsorption and clamping assembly can drive the current collecting plate 18 to move up and down in the vertical direction under the limit of the first cam 14, and the winding core clamping assembly can drive the winding core 19 to move up and down in the vertical direction under the limit of the second cam 15.
[0128] It should be noted that the present invention does not impose any restrictions on the specific structure of the welding clamping mechanism 13, as long as the welding clamping mechanism 13 can move relatively at both ends to clamp the collecting plate 18 and the winding core 19 under the limitation of the first cam 14 and the second cam 15 and the guidance of the turret mechanism 12 during the rotation with the turret mechanism 12, so as to perform the welding operation. In practical applications, those skilled in the art can set the specific structure of the welding clamping mechanism 13 according to actual needs. The specific implementation form of the welding clamping mechanism 13 in the above-mentioned embodiment should not limit the protection scope of the present invention.
[0129] In a preferred embodiment, please also refer to Figures 3 to 5 The turret mechanism 12 includes an upper connecting ring 121 , a first limiting plate 122 , a second limiting plate 123 , a third limiting plate 124 , a lower connecting plate 125 , a driving member 129 (such as a servo motor or a stepping motor) and a plurality of guide columns 126 .
[0130] Among them, the upper connecting ring 121, the first limiting plate 122, the second limiting plate 123, the third limiting plate 124 and the lower connecting plate 125 are spaced apart from top to bottom, and are all coaxially arranged with the first cam 14 and the second cam 15. The guide column 126 vertically penetrates the first limiting plate 122, the second limiting plate 123 and the third limiting plate 124, and its two ends are respectively connected to the upper connecting ring 121 and the lower connecting plate 125. Multiple groups of guide columns 126 are evenly distributed circumferentially to stably connect the upper connecting ring 121 and the lower connecting plate 125. The first limiting plate 122, the second limiting plate 123 and the third limiting plate 124 are connected to the lower connecting plate 125 through a connecting piece 127.
[0131] The first cam 14 is located on the inner side of the upper connecting ring 121, the second cam 15 is located on the outer side of the lower connecting plate 125, the driving member 129 is connected to the fixing member 11, and can drive the upper connecting ring 121, the first limiting plate 122, the second limiting plate 123, the third limiting plate 124 and the lower connecting plate 125 to rotate.
[0132] The first limiting plate 122 is evenly provided with a plurality of first slots 1221 for clamping the collecting plate clamp 132 along its circumference, the second limiting plate 123 is evenly provided with a plurality of second slots 1231 along its circumference, and the third limiting plate 124 is evenly provided with a plurality of through holes 1241 for accommodating the core clamping assembly 133 along its circumference. Each first slot 1221 is opposite to a second slot 1231 and a through hole 1241 below, so as to ensure that the collecting plate 18 and the core 19 are arranged coaxially.
[0133] Each collecting plate clamping assembly 131 is connected to a group of guide posts 126 and can move along the guide posts 126. The collecting plate clamping assembly 131 is located above the first limiting plate 122. Each winding core clamping assembly 133 is connected to a group of guide posts 126 and can move along the guide posts 126. The winding core clamping assembly 133 is located below the first limiting plate 122. The same group of guide posts 126 guides the collecting plate clamping assembly 131 and the winding core clamping assembly 133 at the same time, which can ensure that the collecting plate 18 and the winding core 19 always maintain a coaxial arrangement during the movement of the two, which helps to ensure welding accuracy and welding quality.
[0134] The turret mechanism 12 is configured to include an upper connecting ring 121, a first limiting plate 122, a second limiting plate 123, a third limiting plate 124, a lower connecting plate 125, a driving member 129 and a plurality of guide columns 126. The structure is simple, and it is convenient to assemble the collecting plate clamping assembly 131, the collecting plate clamping member 132 and the winding core clamping assembly 133, and it is convenient for the turret mechanism 12 to drive the collecting plate clamping assembly 131, the collecting plate clamping member 132 and the winding core clamping assembly 133 to rotate, thereby improving the stability of the rotation, and can effectively prevent the winding core 19 and the collecting plate 18 from being horizontally shifted relative to the turret mechanism 12 during the rotation process.
[0135] In a preferred embodiment, please also refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The bottom surface of the first cam 14 is lower than the bottom surface of the upper connecting ring 121, and the top surface of the second cam 15 is higher than the top surface of the lower connecting plate 125. This arrangement can reduce the volume of the welding clamping device 1 and make the structure more compact.
[0136] In a preferred embodiment, the first limiting plate 122, the second limiting plate 123 and the third limiting plate 124 are all circular ring plates, which have a simple structure, are easy to prepare, and can reduce the weight of the turret mechanism 12, help improve the rotation efficiency of the turret mechanism 12, and reduce power consumption.

[0154] A first mounting hole 13211 is provided on the inner wall of the clamping ring column 1321 along its radial direction. The number of the first mounting holes 13211 is multiple and evenly distributed in the circumferential direction. A reset spring 1323 is installed in the first mounting hole 13211.

[0161] The support member 1331 is sleeved on the guide column 126 and can move along the guide column 126. The guide column 126 guides the core pressing assembly 133 to ensure that the core pressing assembly 133 moves in the vertical direction and prevents the core pressing assembly 133 from deviating in the horizontal direction. The second power spring 1333 is sleeved on the guide column 126 and passes through the third limiting plate 124. The two ends of the second power spring 1333 are respectively connected to the top surface of the support member 1331 and the second limiting plate 123. The bottom surface of the support member 1331 abuts against the top surface of the second cam 15 through the second follower wheel 1334. The second follower wheel 1334 is pivotally connected to the support member 1331. The provision of the second follower wheel 1334 can enable the support member 1331 to move smoothly along the top surface of the second cam 15 and reduce the movement resistance. The second power spring 1333 is always in a compressed state, and its rebound force presses the support member 1331 downward, so that the second follower wheel 1334 is always in contact with the second cam 15.
[0162] The winding core pressing assembly 133 includes a supporting member 1331, a bearing member 1332, a second power spring 1333 and a second follower wheel 1334, and has a simple structure, and is convenient for production, manufacturing and assembly.

By setting a buffer spring 1335, the height of the support member 1332 can be finely adjusted in the vertical direction, and it can ensure that the collecting plate 18 and the winding core 19 of the welding clamping mechanism 13 are always in a clamped state. It can also compensate for the error in the vertical direction caused by the vibration generated by the rotation of the turret mechanism 12, the processing error of the winding core clamping component 133, and the assembly error, so that the winding core clamping component 133 can perfectly cooperate with the collecting plate clamping component 131 to realize the clamping of the collecting plate 18 and the winding core 19, which is more convenient to use.
[0164] In a preferred embodiment, please continue to refer to Fig.16 A first guide structure 13321 is provided at the top of the carrier 1332. The first guide structure 13321 is provided to facilitate inserting the core support cup 20 onto the carrier 1332, thereby facilitating the assembly of the core 19.

The limiting plates 1336 can limit the core support cup 20, thereby preventing the core support cup 20 from moving in the horizontal direction during the rotation process.
[0168] In a preferred embodiment, please continue to refer to Fig.16 The top of the limiting plate 1336 is provided with a second guide structure 13361. The second guide structure 13361 is provided to facilitate inserting the core support cup 20 onto the carrier 1332, thereby facilitating the assembly of the core 19.
[0169] In one embodiment, the second guiding structure 13361 is a guiding slope.
[0170] In another embodiment, the second guiding structure 13361 is a guiding arc surface.
[0171] In a preferred embodiment, please also refer to Figures 1 to 3 The welding clamping device 1 of the present invention also includes a detector 17, and the number of detectors 17 is multiple. Multiple detectors 17 are installed on the second limiting plate 123, and each second card slot 1231 is correspondingly provided with a detector 17. The detector 17 can detect whether there is a winding core 19 in the corresponding second card slot 1231.
[0172] A detector 17 is correspondingly provided for each second slot 1231 to detect whether there is a winding core 19 in the second slot 1231 , so as to facilitate connection with a control system, thereby facilitating control of the operation of the laser welding device.
[0173] Exemplarily, the detector 17 is a photoelectric sensor.
[0174] In a preferred embodiment, the number of the welding clamping mechanisms 13 is 18.
[0175] The number of welding clamping mechanisms 13 is set to 18, which can meet the requirements of normal loading (adding new collecting plates 18 and winding cores 19), unloading (removing the winding cores 19 after welding) and welding cycle (welding time), and its automated welding efficiency is high. In addition, the turret mechanism 12 and the welding clamping mechanism 13 corresponding to the 18 welding clamping mechanisms 13 are small in size, thereby reducing the volume of the overall welding clamping device 1, which is convenient for production, manufacturing and assembly.
[0176] In another embodiment, the number of the welding clamping mechanisms 13 may also be set to 20.
[0177] It should be noted that the present invention does not impose any restrictions on the number of welding clamping mechanisms 13. In practical applications, those skilled in the art can set the specific number of welding clamping mechanisms 13 according to actual needs. The specific implementation forms in the above embodiments shall not limit the protection scope of the present invention.
[0178] Of course, it is preferred to set the number of welding clamping mechanisms 13 to 18. Compared with a welding clamping device 1 provided with more than 18 welding clamping mechanisms 13, 18 welding clamping mechanisms 13 can reduce the volume of the welding clamping device 1 during assembly. Compared with a welding clamping device 1 provided with less than 18 welding clamping mechanisms 13, its welding efficiency is high and the difficulty of production, manufacturing and assembly is low.
[0179] In addition, the present invention also protects a turret welding device, which includes the welding clamping device 1 mentioned above.
[0180] So far, the technical solutions of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the protection scope of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
