Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electrode shaping, specifically a device for shaping the electrode tabs of lithium iron phosphate battery cells. Background Technology

[0002] A tab is a raw material used in battery products. The tabs on the positive and negative terminals of a battery are the contact points during charging and discharging. These contact points are not the copper plates visible on the battery's exterior, but rather an internal connection. During the testing of battery cell tabs, unevenness is often encountered, requiring reshaping. According to the patent document with authorization announcement number "CN214133392U" and invention titled "A Battery Cell Tab Shaping Device," the description states that the device comprises a first driving mechanism, a first shaping component, a second driving mechanism, a second shaping component, and a positioning component. The system employs a third driving mechanism and a shaping unit to respectively flatten the positive and negative tabs of the battery cell, replacing manual labor with machines and reducing the intensity of human labor. During the shaping process, the first shaping component is driven by the first driving mechanism to approach the battery cell. When the first shaping component reaches the designated position, the second driving mechanism drives the second shaping component and the positioning component to move closer to the battery cell. The positioning component contacts the battery cell first, allowing the first shaping component and the positioning component to press and hold the battery cell, and also to determine the position of the battery cell. Then, the second shaping component reaches the position where the positive tab of the battery cell can be flattened, thus flattening the positive tab. However, the following defects still exist:

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0016] (1) In this invention, after the two horizontal plates move toward the electrode ear, the upper and lower two flattening rollers press the root of the electrode ear tightly. At the same time, the first opening scraper on the upper and lower sides of the electrode ear moves toward the end of the electrode ear, and the second opening scraper on the upper and lower sides moves toward the two corners of the end of the electrode ear, so as to facilitate the opening of the folded position of the end of the electrode ear, thereby facilitating the flattening of the electrode ear and improving the flattening efficiency of the electrode ear.

[0017] (2) The invention presses the root of the electrode ear with two flattening rollers during the movement of the first and second opening scrapers, so that the root of the electrode ear will not break under force when the first and second opening scrapers exert force on the electrode ear, thus improving the protection of the electrode ear. At the same time, after the cylinder is opened, the two flattening rollers move along the electrode ear toward the end of the electrode ear, thus facilitating the flattening of the electrode ear and improving the flattening efficiency of the electrode ear.

[0018] (3) After the flattening roller moves to the end of the electrode ear, the invention controls the two sliding sleeves to move closer to each other, so that the two side pressure plates move toward the flattening roller. When one end of the side pressure plate moves with the outer wall of the flattening roller, the side pressure plate moves along the outer wall of the flattening roller toward the electrode ear until the arc groove on the side pressure plate is in close contact with the outer wall of the flattening roller, so that the two side pressure plates close to each other press the upper and lower sides of the electrode ear end together, further flattening the electrode ear and improving the electrode ear flattening efficiency.

[0033] The folding opening unit 504 includes a movable groove 5041 formed on one side of two horizontal plates 501 that are close to each other. Each of the two horizontal plates 501 has a straight sliding groove 5042 that extends into the interior of the movable groove 5041. Each of the two horizontal plates 501 also has symmetrically formed oblique sliding grooves 5043 that extend into the interior of the movable groove 5041. The two oblique sliding grooves 5043 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the straight sliding grooves 5042. A first opening scraper 5044 is provided inside the movable groove 5041. Two second opening scrapers 5045 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first opening scraper 5044.

One end of the fixing rod 5046 passes through the straight slide groove 5042 and is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 5048. A sliding rod 5047 is installed at one end of the second opening scraper 5045 near the connecting plate 5048. The sliding rod 5047 slides through the inclined slide groove 5043. The first opening scraper 5044, installed inside the sliding groove 5049, has the same structure as the second opening scraper 5045. Both consist of a vertical plate and an inclined scraper. The end of the inclined scraper away from the vertical plate is inclined towards the side away from the flattening roller 503. The end of the inclined scraper away from the vertical plate is flush with the outer wall of the flattening roller 503 away from the horizontal plate 501. After the two horizontal plates 501 move towards the electrode ear, the upper and lower flattening rollers 503 press the root of the electrode ear tightly. At the same time, the first opening scrapers 5044 on the upper and lower sides of the electrode ear move towards the end of the electrode ear, and the second opening scrapers 5045 on the upper and lower sides move towards the end of the electrode ear. The two corners at the end of the electrode tab move, making it easier to open the folded position of the electrode tab end, thus facilitating the flattening of the electrode tab and improving the flattening efficiency. During the movement of the first opening scraper 5044 and the second opening scraper 5045, the upper and lower flattening rollers 503 press the root of the electrode tab tightly, ensuring that the root of the electrode tab will not break under stress when the first opening scraper 5044 and the second opening scraper 5045 exert force on the electrode tab, thereby improving the protection of the electrode tab. At the same time, after the cylinder 3 is opened, the two flattening rollers 503 move along the electrode tab toward the end of the electrode tab, thus facilitating the flattening of the electrode tab and improving the flattening efficiency of the electrode tab.

[0034] The end flattening unit 505 includes side pressure plates 5051 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the flattening roller 503. Each side pressure plate 5051 has an arc groove 5052 on its side closest to each other. The arc of the arc groove 5052 is the same as the arc of the outer wall of the flattening roller 503. A movable groove 5053 is provided inside the horizontal plate 501.

A limiting groove 50510 is formed inside the sliding sleeve 5055. A sliding plate 5056 is slidably installed inside the limiting groove 50510. One end of the sliding plate 5056 passes through a connecting groove 5054 and is fixedly connected to the side pressure plate 5051. A first spring 50511 is installed at the end of the sliding plate 5056 away from the side pressure plate 5051. One end of the first spring 50511 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 50510. Each sliding sleeve 5055 has a rack 5057 mounted on one side close to each other. The toothed sides of the two racks 5057 are positioned close to each other, and a gear 5058 is provided between the two racks 5057. The upper and lower sides of the gear 5058 mesh with the two racks 5057 respectively. The gear 5058 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 5059. The first motor 5059 is fixedly installed inside the movable groove 5053. After the flattening roller 503 moves to the end of the pole lug, it controls the two sliding sleeves 5055... The two side pressure plates 5051 move closer to each other, causing them to move toward the flattening roller 503. When one end of the side pressure plate 5051 moves along the outer wall of the flattening roller 503, the side pressure plate 5051 moves toward the electrode ear along the outer wall of the flattening roller 503 until the arc groove 5052 on the side pressure plate 5051 is in close contact with the outer wall of the flattening roller 503. This causes the two side pressure plates 5051 to press the upper and lower sides of the electrode ear together, further flattening the electrode ear and improving the flattening efficiency of the electrode ear.

A guide rod 6044 is slidably installed inside the guide cylinder 6043. An end plate 6045 is installed at the end of the guide rod 6044 away from the transverse slider 6042. The end plate 6045 is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting plate 5048. A screw 6046 is rotatably installed at the end of the transverse slide groove 6041. One end of the screw 6046 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 6047. The second motor 6047 is fixedly installed on the connecting side plate 601.

[0038] Working principle: When in use, the tabs on the battery cell are positioned between the two horizontal plates 501. The cylinder 3 is activated to move the mounting bracket 2 toward the tabs, causing the two horizontal plates 501 to move to the upper and lower sides of the tabs. Then, after the two electromagnets 60312 are energized, they attract the two magnetic blocks 60311 respectively, thereby driving the movable plate 6037 to move away from the horizontal plates 501. Then, through the rotation of the rotating rod 6038, the two longitudinal sliders 6032 are driven to move closer to each other, which in turn drives the two horizontal plates 501 to move closer to each other until the upper and lower pressing rollers 503 contact the upper and lower sides of the tabs, so that the two pressing rollers 503 clamp and fix the root of the tabs.

[0039] At this time, the inclined ends of the second opening scrapers 5045 of the first opening scrapers 5044 on both the upper and lower sides contact the electrode ears. When the second motor 6047 is turned on, the screw 6046 rotates. Since the screw 6046 is threadedly connected to the transverse slider 6042, it drives the transverse slider 6042 to move towards the connecting side plate 601. Then, through the guide cylinder 6043 and the guide rod 6044, it drives the two connecting plates 5048 to move towards the mounting bracket 2, and then pushes the first opening scraper 5044 to move along the straight slide groove 5042 towards the end of the electrode ear. The second opening scraper 5045 moves along the inclined slide 5043 toward the two corners of the end of the electrode ear, thereby opening the folded part of the end of the electrode ear to facilitate the flattening of the electrode ear. After the first opening scraper 5044 and the second opening scraper 5045 move to the end of the electrode ear, the second motor 6047 is turned off. At this time, the end of the electrode ear is pressed by the pressure of the first opening scraper 5044 and the second opening scraper 5045 on the upper and lower sides. During the movement, the two flattening rollers 503 clamp the root of the electrode ear, thereby reducing the possibility of electrode ear breakage.

[0040] After a period of time, under pressure, the end of the electrode tab no longer folds over. At this time, the cylinder 3 is opened, causing the output end of the cylinder 3 to retract, causing the flattening roller 503 to move continuously on the surface of the electrode tab toward the end of the electrode tab, so that the two flattening rollers 503 flatten the electrode tab as a whole, improving the flattening effect.

[0041] When the flattening roller 503 moves to the end of the pole lug, the first motor 5059 is turned on, causing the gear 5058 to rotate. The gear 5058 meshes with the rack 5057 on the two sliding sleeves 5055, thereby driving the two sliding sleeves 5055 to move closer to each other. This causes the two side pressure plates 5051 to move towards the flattening roller 503. When one end of the side pressure plate 5051 moves against the outer wall of the flattening roller 503, the sliding plate 5056 on the side pressure plate 5051 is slidably mounted on the... Inside the limiting groove 50510, the side pressure plate 5051 moves along the outer wall of the flattening roller 503 toward the electrode ear until the arc groove 5052 on the side pressure plate 5051 is in close contact with the outer wall of the flattening roller 503. At this time, the end of the side pressure plate 5051 away from the horizontal plate 501 is flush with the outer wall of the flattening roller 503 away from the horizontal plate 501, so that the ends of the upper and lower side pressure plates 5051 that are close to each other press the upper and lower sides of the electrode ear end, further flattening the electrode ear.
