[0004] 1. In the battery module assembly production line, the original dust collection structure often suffers from improper operation by production personnel during model changeovers, resulting in the dust collection steel wire hose not being locked and falling off, which leads to short circuits in the battery module cells and causes fire accidents.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention. However, the embodiments described are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0035] Reference Figure 1-7 As shown, the welding dust extraction mechanism for battery modules of the present invention includes several main components: a quick-change connecting plate 1, a cover plate 2, a negative pressure suction pipe 3, a floating assembly 4, a suction copper nozzle 5, and a connecting pipe 6; the quick-change connecting plate 1 serves as a supporting component, and the quick-change connecting plate 1 is provided with a waste gas manifold 11 for collecting waste gas; the cover plate 2 is locked to the quick-change connecting plate 1 by fasteners, and the cover plate 2 is used to cover the waste gas manifold 11 to form a sealed cavity; the negative pressure suction pipe 3, its One end is installed on the quick-change connecting plate 1, and one end of the negative pressure suction pipe 3 installed on the quick-change connecting plate 1 is connected to the exhaust gas manifold 11; a floating component 4 is provided, and the floating component 4 is provided on the quick-change connecting plate 1. The floating component 4 is connected to a dust suction copper nozzle 5, which is used to absorb dust during battery welding; a conversion pipe 6 is connected at one end to the dust suction copper nozzle 5, and the other end of the conversion pipe 6 is connected to the exhaust gas manifold 11.

[0036] In the above structure, the quick-change connecting plate 1 is rectangular and has several through holes 12. Each of the through holes 12 corresponds to one of the floating components 4, and the suction nozzle 5 communicates with the through holes 12. The through holes 12 extend through the quick-change connecting plate 1 along its height direction and are circular. The end of the through hole 12 away from the suction nozzle 5 is a tapered flare 50, and the diameter of the tapered flare 50 gradually increases along the direction away from the suction nozzle 5.

[0037] In the above structure, the exhaust gas manifold 11 is a rectangular groove structure, and the exhaust gas manifold 11 is located on one end face of the quick-change connecting plate 1. The end face of the quick-change connecting plate 1 is provided with a rectangular groove 13, which is connected to the exhaust gas manifold 11. The bottom surface of the rectangular groove 13 is provided with a sealing ring mounting groove 14, and a sealing ring 15 is provided in the sealing ring mounting groove 14. The cover plate 2 is a rectangular flat plate, and the cover plate 2 is set in the rectangular groove 13. The cover plate 2 contacts the sealing ring 15 to achieve a seal. The cross-sectional area of ​​the rectangular groove 13 is larger than that of the exhaust gas manifold 11, and the rectangular cross-section of the rectangular groove 13 is concentric with that of the exhaust gas manifold 11. When the cover plate 2 is placed in the rectangular groove 13, the cover plate 2 covers the rectangular cross-section of the exhaust gas manifold 11, thus ensuring that the exhaust gas manifold 11 is a sealed exhaust gas collection chamber. Preferably, the cover plate 2 is locked to the quick-change connecting plate 1 by several screws. The cover plate 2 is made of transparent material. By making the cover plate 2 transparent, it is convenient to see the situation inside the exhaust gas manifold 11.

[0038] In the above structure, the negative pressure suction pipe 3 is a right-angle bend. One end of the negative pressure suction pipe 3 extending out of the quick-change connecting plate 1 is connected to a dust suction interface 31. An inclined transition pipe 32 is provided at the right-angle bend of the negative pressure suction pipe 3, and the angle between the inclined transition pipe 32 and the end of the negative pressure suction pipe 3 located on the quick-change connecting plate 1 is an obtuse angle. The inclined transition pipe 32 creates an inclined transition at the right-angle bend of the negative pressure suction pipe 3, eliminating the right-angle bend and preventing dust from accumulating and clogging the negative pressure suction pipe 3. A mounting flange 33 is provided on the outer wall of the negative pressure suction pipe 3. The mounting flange 33 is screwed onto the outer wall of the quick-change connecting plate 1, thereby fixing the negative pressure suction pipe 3 onto the quick-change connecting plate 1. Preferably, the negative pressure suction pipe 3 is a round pipe.

[0039] Reference Figure 8 , 9 As shown, the floating component 4 includes a floating block 41, a fixed mounting block 42, several bolts 43, several springs 44, and a gas pipe 45. The quick-connect plate 1 has several rectangular mounting slots 16, each corresponding to a number of through holes 12, and the rectangular mounting slots 16 and through holes 12 are connected. The floating block 41 is rectangular and is installed within the rectangular mounting slot 16. The bottom surface of the rectangular mounting slot 16 has several recesses 161, and the bolts 43, springs 44, and recesses 161 are corresponding to each other. The head of bolt 43 is located in groove 161, and the stud portion of bolt 43 passes through the fixed mounting block 42 and the floating block 41. Spring 44 is sleeved on the stud portion of bolt 43 and is located between the floating block 41 and the fixed mounting block 42. The fixed mounting block 42 has a circular through hole 421. Gas pipe 45 is located on the floating block 41. The lower end of gas pipe 45 is connected to the suction nozzle 5, and the upper end of gas pipe 45 is located in the circular through hole 421. Gas pipe 45 is connected to through hole 12 through the circular through hole 421. The cross-section of the gas pipe 45 near the through hole 12 is circular, and the end of gas pipe 45 near the suction nozzle 5 is tapered, with the diameter of the tapered end of gas pipe 45 decreasing to correspond to the diameter of the suction nozzle 5. After the suction nozzle 5 is pressed into the welding position, the upward pressure on the suction nozzle 5 causes the floating block 41 to compress the spring 44 upward, which in turn causes the head of the bolt 43 to move upward in the groove 161. At the same time, the relative displacement between the gas pipe 45 and the circular through hole 421 occurs. During processing and installation, it is necessary to ensure that the gas pipe 45 and the circular through hole 421 are coaxially set.

[0040] In the above structure, the floating block 41 is provided with a channel 411, the two ends of which are connected to the transfer pipe 6 and the gas pipe 45 respectively, and the gas pipe 45, the channel 411, and the transfer pipe 6 are connected. After the dust is sucked in by the suction nozzle 5, it enters the gas pipe 45. Since the transfer pipe 6 is connected to the exhaust gas manifold 11 and is under negative pressure, the dust flows through the transfer pipe 6 into the exhaust gas manifold 11 and is collected. The floating block 41 is provided with a protective gas inlet channel 412. One end of the protective gas inlet channel 412 extends to the outer wall of the floating block 41 to form an inlet interface, and the other end of the protective gas inlet channel 412 is connected to the suction nozzle 5. The protective gas inlet channel 412 is used to introduce nitrogen gas during welding. An insulating mica sheet 413 is provided on the outer wall of the floating block 41. The insulating mica sheet 413 has a right-angled cross-section. The floating block 41 is rectangular. One right-angled side of the insulating mica sheet 413 wraps around the outer wall of the floating block 41, and the other right-angled side wraps around the bottom surface of the floating block 41, which is the surface of the floating block 41 that contacts the battery during vacuuming. The insulating mica sheet 413 prevents accidental short circuits with the battery. Nitrogen gas is delivered to the welding position through the protective gas inlet channel 412 to prevent oxidation and blackening of the weld pool.

[0041] Reference Figure 10As shown, the vacuum nozzle 5 includes a nozzle body 51 and a nozzle mounting block 52. The nozzle mounting block 52 is mounted on the floating block 41 by screws. The nozzle body 51 is mounted on the nozzle mounting block 52 and is cylindrical. One end of the nozzle body 51 near the welding position extends out of the nozzle mounting block 52, and the other end of the nozzle body 51 is flush with the end face of the nozzle mounting block 52. An annular groove 521 is provided on the end face of the nozzle mounting block 52. The nozzle body 51 and the annular groove 521 are coaxially arranged, and one end of the nozzle body 51 is located inside the annular groove 521. The inner wall of the annular groove 521 is provided with a U-shaped groove 522. One end of the protective gas inlet channel 412 is connected to the U-shaped groove 522. The inner wall of the copper nozzle body 51 at the end away from the welding position is set as a conical surface 511, and the diameter of the conical surface 511 gradually increases towards the side away from the welding position. The side wall of the copper nozzle body 51 at the end located inside the annular groove 521 is provided with several vent holes 512. The vent holes 512 penetrate the copper nozzle body 51. The annular groove 521 is connected to the interior of the copper nozzle body 51 through several vent holes 512. The copper nozzle body 51 is connected to the gas pipe 45. The bottom surface of the floating block 41 is provided with a rectangular groove 3 414. The copper nozzle mounting block 52 is rectangular and is installed in the rectangular groove 3 414. The vent holes 512 are round holes and are inclined along the axial direction of the copper nozzle body 51, and are gradually inclined outward from the inside. Nitrogen gas, supplied through the protective gas inlet channel 412, enters the U-shaped groove 522 and gradually flows into the annular groove 521. It then enters the copper nozzle body 51 through several vent holes 512 to provide protection.

[0042] In the above structure, the transition pipe 6 is a right-angle bend, one end of the transition pipe 6 is connected to the second mounting flange 61, the second mounting flange 61 is locked to the side wall of the floating block 41 by screws, one end of the transition pipe 6 is connected to the first channel 411, and the other end of the transition pipe 6 extends into the exhaust gas manifold 11.

[0043] Reference Figure 11As shown, the quick-connect plate 1 where the exhaust gas manifold 11 is located has a through hole 3 111 on its bottom surface. The through hole 3 111 has a groove 4 112 on one side of the exhaust gas manifold 11. A support block 62 is installed on the bottom surface of the exhaust gas manifold 11. A clamping block 63 is provided on the support block 62. A groove 5 64 is provided on the end face of the clamping block 63 that contacts the support block 62. A limiting ring 65 is provided in the groove 5 64. The clamping block 63 has a through hole 4 631. The support block 62 has a through hole 5 621. The limiting ring 65, through hole 3 111, through hole 4 631 and through hole 5 621 are coaxially arranged and connected. One end of the adapter pipe 6 passes through through hole 3 111 and through hole 5 621 and is located in the limiting ring 65. The adapter pipe 6 and the limiting ring 65 can move relative to each other. Since the change in the position of the floating block 41 will cause the transfer pipe 6 to move, the end of the transfer pipe 6 located inside the limiting ring 65 is set to be movable, so that when the transfer pipe 6 moves, the transfer pipe 6 and the limiting ring 65 can move relative to each other to avoid interference.

[0044] The direction of gas flow for dust extraction during the application of the welding dust extraction mechanism for battery modules of the present invention is referenced. Figure 12 As shown, the Z-axis servo, carrying the battery module, is pressed downwards by the welding and dust collection mechanism. The compression compatibility of the floating component 4 tightly presses the battery module's cell terminals and contacts together. After distance compensation, welding begins. During welding, protective gas is blown while the vacuum cleaner simultaneously collects dust. The dust and exhaust gas first pass through the exhaust gas manifold 11 and then enter the internal dust removal channel, finally being drawn to the main dust collection pipe through the negative pressure suction pipe 3. The exhaust gas manifold 11 integrates the original two pairs of stainless steel suction pipes on the outside into the inside of the copper nozzle, leaving only one pair on the outside and avoiding distance measurement space. This makes the structure more compact while ensuring welding safety, achieving the desired effect.

[0045] This battery module uses a welding dust extraction mechanism. By improving the dust extraction structure, a series of safety accidents can be avoided and the cost can be reduced; space utilization, safety factor, production changeover efficiency, and cost reduction can be achieved.

[0046] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
