DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] Reference Figure 1-Figure 9 The present invention provides a technical solution: an automatic assembly production line for lithium battery modules, comprising a main frame 1, a transverse movable frame 2 is arranged on the top surface of the main frame 1, a longitudinal movable frame 3 is movably installed on one side surface of the transverse movable frame 2, a plurality of welding heads 4 are fixedly installed on one side surface of the longitudinal movable frame 3, a feed conveying frame 5 and a discharge conveying frame 7 are respectively placed at both ends of the main frame 1, a lithium battery module 6 is placed on the top surface of the feed conveying frame 5, a top frame 8 is installed on the top surface of the main frame 1, and a C-shaped frame 13 is arranged on the top surface of the top frame 8;

[0036] A driving assembly 9 is arranged inside the top frame 8, and the driving assembly 9 includes a guide rail frame 901. There are two guide rail frames 901, which are symmetrically mounted on the inner walls of both sides of the top frame 8. The outer surfaces of the two guide rail frames 901 are movably sleeved with a movable sleeve frame 902, and the two ends of the C-shaped frame 13 are respectively fixedly mounted on one side surface of the two movable sleeve frames 902;

[0037] A top plate 903 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the movable sleeve frame 902, a positioning column 904 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the top plate 903, a sleeve column 905 is movably sleeved on the outer surface of the positioning column 904, a baffle 906 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the sleeve column 905, a positioning groove 907 is provided on the outer surface of the sleeve column 905, a mounting plate 908 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the top plate 903, an electric telescopic rod 909 is fixedly installed on one side surface of the mounting plate 908, and the output end of the electric telescopic rod 909 is fixedly installed A positioning block 910 is installed, and the positioning block 910 is inserted into the inside of the positioning groove 907. A mounting plate 2 913 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the movable sleeve 902. A return spring 1 914 is fixedly connected between one side surface of the mounting plate 2 913 and the inner side surface of the top frame 8. An extension rod 911 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the top frame 8 located on the side of the mounting plate 1 908. A touch switch 912 is fixedly installed on one end of the extension rod 911. The touch switch 912 is electrically connected to the electric telescopic rod 909.

[0038] During operation, when welding the electrodes of the lithium battery module 6, the processed lithium battery module 6 is first placed on the top surface of the feed conveyor rack 5, and is transported to the top surface of the main frame 1 by the feed conveyor rack 5, and then the external gas cylinder is connected to the external pipe 1010 through a pipeline. When the lithium battery module 6 reaches the top surface of the main frame 1, the lithium battery module 6 will be slowly transported to the bottom of the horizontal moving frame 2 through the main frame 1. When the lithium battery module 6 reaches the top surface of the main frame 1, it will contact the baffle 906 as the main frame 1 is transported. During the contact process, the movable sleeve 902 can be pushed to move on the outer surface of the guide frame 901. During the movement, since the C-frame 13 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the movable sleeve 902, as the lithium battery module 6, pushes the movable sleeve frame 902 to move synchronously. When the mounting plate 908 contacts the touch switch 912, the touch switch 912 can be used to control the electric telescopic rod 909 to shrink, and the positioning block 910 can be pulled out from the inside of the positioning groove 907. When the sleeve column 905 loses its limit and is blocked by the touch switch 912, as the lithium battery module 6 moves, the baffle 906 can be opened, and then the movable sleeve frame 902 returns to its original position driven by the reset spring 914 to connect the next lithium battery module 6. Through the set driving component 9, it is possible to achieve the operation of each component by relying on the movement of the lithium battery module 6 without using other driving parts, thereby greatly improving the overall practicality of the device.

[0039] A circular plate 915 is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the positioning column 904 , and a second reset spring 916 is fixedly connected between the bottom surface of the circular plate 915 and the top surface of the sleeve column 905 . The second reset spring 916 is used to reset the baffle 906 .

[0040] During operation, after the sleeve column 905 loses its limit, the sleeve column 905 rotates on the outer surface of the positioning column 904 under the movement of the lithium battery module 6, and the baffle 906 is in an open state. During the rotation of the sleeve column 905, the reset spring 2 916 can be deformed. When the lithium battery module 6 passes through the baffle 906, the baffle 906 can be driven to reset, and the movable sleeve frame 902 returns to its original position under the action of the reset spring 1 914. In the process of returning, the mounting plate 1 908 loses the squeezing of the touch switch 912, so that the electric telescopic rod 909 drives the positioning block 910 to fit the outer surface of the sleeve column 905, until the sleeve column 905 returns to its original position under the reset action of the reset spring 2 916, and the positioning block 910 can be reinserted into the interior of the positioning groove 907.

[0041] The top surface of the longitudinal moving frame 3 is provided with a first welding protection assembly 10, which includes a plurality of installation boxes 1001, each of which has a snap-in block 1002 movably inserted therein, and the first welding protection assembly 10 is used for releasing the protective mixed gas during welding;

[0042] A rectangular plate 1003 is fixedly installed on one side surface of the clamping block 1002, and a mounting shaft 1004 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the rectangular plate 1003. An air inlet pipe 1008 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the mounting box 1001, and a shunt pipe 1009 is fixedly connected to the top of the air inlet pipe 1008. An external pipe 1010 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the shunt pipe 1009. A connecting pipe 1011 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the mounting box 1001, and an air outlet pipe 1011 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the connecting pipe 1011. The air outlet frame 1012 is arranged at the bottom end of the longitudinal moving frame 3, and a vertical frame 1005 is arranged on one side surface of the top frame 8 located at the transverse moving frame 2, and a crankshaft 1006 is rotatably installed inside the vertical frame 1005, and a connecting plate 1007 is movably connected between the crankshaft 1006 and the installation shaft 1004, wherein a pulley 1013 is fixedly installed on one side of the gear 2 1210 and one end of the crankshaft 1006, and a transmission belt 1014 is sleeved between the two pulleys 1013.

[0043] During operation, when the lithium battery module 6 pushes the baffle 906 to move, it can drive the C-frame 13 to move above the top frame 8. When the C-frame 13 moves, it can drive the tooth plate 1212 to move synchronously, thereby driving the gear 1210 to rotate. During the rotation of the gear 1210, the crankshaft 1006 can be driven to rotate under the action of the pulley 1013 and the transmission belt 1014, thereby driving the clamping block 1002 to be inserted and withdrawn back and forth inside the installation box 1001 under the action of the connecting plate 1007. When the clamping block 1002 moves back and forth inside the installation box 1001, the intake pipe 1008 can be intermittently blocked. When tube 1008 loses its seal, the inert gas or mixed protective gas in the external gas cylinder can enter the interior of the installation box 1001 through the external tube 1010, the shunt tube 1009 and the air inlet pipe 1008. After the clamping block 1002 seals the air inlet pipe 1008, the gas will not enter the interior of the installation box 1001, and the gas entering the interior of the installation box 1001 can be pressed into the interior of the connecting tube 1011 through the movement of the clamping block 1002, and finally released to the bottom of the horizontal movable frame 2 through the gas outlet frame 1012, so that the bottom of the horizontal movable frame 2 is filled with inert gas, thereby effectively protecting the electrode during the subsequent electrode welding process.

[0044] In addition, a one-way valve three is installed on the outer surface of the air inlet pipe 1008. When the clamping block 1002 moves toward the outside of the installation box 1001, the gas under the horizontal movable frame 2 can be sucked into the interior of the installation box 1001 and mixed with the gas entering the interior of the installation box 1001. When the air inlet pipe 1008 passes into a mixed gas, the mixed gas can be diluted to avoid the problem of excessive concentration of inert gas affecting welding quality, and a turbulent airflow is generated inside the installation box 1001, thereby effectively mixing the mixed gas. This working mode is suitable for an environment where two or more inert gases are passed into the air inlet pipe 1008, thereby further improving the overall practicality of the device.

[0045] The top surface of the top frame 8 is provided with a second welding protection assembly 11, and the second welding protection assembly 11 includes a second installation box 1101. The number of the second installation boxes 1101 is multiple, and the multiple second installation boxes 1101 are all fixedly installed on the top surface of the top frame 8. The top surfaces of the multiple second installation boxes 1101 are all fixedly installed with airbags 1103;

[0046] A through slot 1102 is formed on the top surface of the second installation box 1101, and a connecting block 1105 is movably connected to the inside of the through slot 1102. An air bag 1103 is also installed inside the second installation box 1101. An extrusion plate 1104 is provided on one side of the air bag 1103. The extrusion plate 1104 is movably connected to the inside of the second installation box 1101, and one side surface of the extrusion plate 1104 is bonded to one side surface of the air bag 1103. One end of the connecting block 1105 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the extrusion plate 1104, and the other end of the extrusion plate 1104 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the C-shaped frame 13. The bottom surface is fixedly connected, an extension tube 1106 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the installation box 1101, a one-way valve 1107 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the extension tube 1106, one end of the extension tube 1106 extends to the bottom of the transverse movable frame 2, a hollow frame 1111 and a rectangular tube 1108 are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the C-shaped frame 13, the rectangular tube 1108 is connected to the airbag 1103, a connecting tube 1109 is fixedly connected between the hollow frame 1111 and the rectangular tube 1108, and a one-way valve 1110 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the connecting tube 1109.

[0047] During operation, when the C-shaped frame 13 moves under the push of the lithium battery module 6, it can drive the extrusion plate 1104 to move inside the second installation box 1101, and squeeze the airbag 1103 during the movement. During the squeezing process, the gas inside the airbag 1103 can be squeezed into the inside of the rectangular tube 1108, and finally enter the inside of the hollow frame 1111 through the second connecting tube 1109, and finally sprayed toward the lithium battery module 6 passing below through the air outlet nozzle 1112, so as to clean the electrodes of the lithium battery module 6, so that the electrodes are kept clean during the welding process, thereby improving the quality of welding;

[0048] Moreover, in the process of the C-type frame 13 following the resetting of the movable sleeve frame 902, the airbag 1103 can be driven to inhale gas through the extension tube 1106. Since the extension tube 1106 extends to the bottom of the horizontal movable frame 2, the residual inert gas under the horizontal movable frame 2 can be inhaled, and the residual inert gas is inhaled into the airbag 1103 for storage. In addition, the gas used for cleaning the electrode contains inert gas, which can allow the inert gas to enter the interior of the lithium battery module 6, thereby further improving the welding quality during the welding process, and making full use of the inert gas to prevent waste.

Tooth plate 1211 and tooth plate 2 1212 are fixedly installed on the two side surfaces of the C-shaped frame 13 respectively. Tooth plate 1211 and tooth plate 2 1212 are respectively meshed with gear 1 1209 and gear 2 1210. Two anti-slip frames 1213 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the top frame 8. Tooth plate 2 1212 and tooth plate 1 1211 are movably plugged into the inside of the anti-slip frame 1213 to achieve stable installation of tooth plate 2 1212 and tooth plate 1 1211.

[0050] During operation, as the C-frame 13 moves, the tooth plate 1211 and the tooth plate 2 1212 can be driven to move. During the movement, the gear 1 1209 and the gear 2 1210 can be driven to rotate respectively, thereby rotating the rotating shaft 1202 and the rotating shaft 2 1206, thereby driving the cleaning sleeve 1204 and the friction sleeve 1208 to rotate. When the lithium battery module 6 passes under the cleaning sleeve 1204, the impurities adhering to the outer surface of the electrode of the lithium battery module 6 can be cleaned by the rotation of the cleaning sleeve 1204, thereby ensuring that there will be no impurities in the electrode of the lithium battery module 6 during the subsequent welding process, thereby improving the quality of welding, and as the lithium battery module 6 moves, after being cleaned again by the second welding protection component 11, it can reach the bottom of the friction sleeve 1208, and the rotation of the friction sleeve 1208 can frictionally preheat the electrode of the lithium battery module 6 passing through, so that there will be no excessive temperature difference during the subsequent welding process, thereby further improving the quality of welding.

[0051] Moreover, no matter how the movable sleeve frame 902 moves back and forth on the outer surface of the guide rail frame 901, it can drive the C-frame 13 to move, thereby causing the tooth plate 1211 and the gear 1 1209 and the tooth plate 2 1212 and the gear 2 1210 to rotate, thereby maintaining a certain duration, thereby ensuring the subsequent welding quality.

[0052] Among them, a transverse plate 1214 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the extension plate 1201, a cleaning frame 1215 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the transverse plate 1214, and a connecting pipe 1216 is fixedly connected between the hollow frame 1111 and the cleaning frame 1215.

[0053] During operation, when the cleaning sleeve 1204 cleans the electrode, the gas entering the hollow frame 1111 can enter the interior of the cleaning frame 1215 through the connecting pipe 1216, and be blown toward the cleaning sleeve 1204 through the cleaning frame 1215, thereby blowing out impurities adhering to the outside of the cleaning sleeve 1204, thereby cleaning the cleaning sleeve 1204, and further improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning sleeve 1204 on the electrode.

[0054] Specifically, the working process or working principle of the automatic assembly production line of lithium battery modules is as follows: when in use, the processed lithium battery module 6 is first placed on the top surface of the feed conveyor rack 5, and is transported to the top surface of the main frame 1 by the feed conveyor rack 5, and then the external gas cylinder is connected to the external pipe 1010 through a pipeline. When the lithium battery module 6 reaches the top surface of the main frame 1, the lithium battery module 6 will be slowly transported to the bottom of the horizontal moving frame 2 through the main frame 1. When the lithium battery module 6 reaches the top surface of the main frame 1, it will contact the baffle 906 as the main frame 1 is transported. During the contact process, it can push the movable sleeve frame 902 to move on the outer surface of the guide frame 901. During the movement, due to the C-type The frame 13 is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the movable sleeve frame 902. With the movement of the lithium battery module 6, the movable sleeve frame 902 is pushed to move synchronously. When the mounting plate 908 contacts the touch switch 912, the electric telescopic rod 909 can be controlled to contract through the touch switch 912, and the positioning block 910 can be pulled out from the inside of the positioning groove 907. When the sleeve column 905 loses its limit and is blocked by the touch switch 912, with the movement of the lithium battery module 6, the baffle 906 can be opened, and then the movable sleeve frame 902 returns to its original position driven by the return spring 914 to connect the next lithium battery module 6, and the lithium battery module 6 after welding can be transported out through the unloading conveyor frame 7;

[0055] When the lithium battery module 6 pushes the baffle 906 to move, it can drive the C-frame 13 to move above the top frame 8. When the C-frame 13 moves, it can drive the gear plate 1212 to move synchronously, thereby driving the gear 1210 to rotate. During the rotation of the gear 1210, the crankshaft 1006 can be driven to rotate under the action of the pulley 1013 and the transmission belt 1014, thereby driving the clamping block 1002 to be inserted and withdrawn back and forth inside the installation box 1 1001 under the action of the connecting plate 1007, so that the bottom of the horizontal moving frame 2 is filled with inert gas, thereby effectively protecting the electrode during the subsequent electrode welding process;

[0056] When the C-shaped frame 13 moves under the push of the lithium battery module 6, it can drive the extrusion plate 1104 to move inside the second installation box 1101, and squeeze the airbag 1103 during the movement. During the squeezing process, the gas inside the airbag 1103 can be squeezed into the inside of the rectangular tube 1108, and finally enter the inside of the hollow frame 1111 through the second connecting tube 1109, and finally sprayed toward the lithium battery module 6 passing below through the air outlet nozzle 1112, so as to clean the electrodes of the lithium battery module 6, so that the electrodes are kept clean during the welding process;

[0057] As the C-frame 13 moves, it can drive tooth plate 1211 and tooth plate 2 1212 to move. During the movement, it can drive gear 1 1209 and gear 2 1210 to rotate respectively, thereby rotating shaft 1202 and rotating shaft 2 1206, thereby driving cleaning sleeve 1204 and friction sleeve 1208 to rotate. When the lithium battery module 6 passes under the cleaning sleeve 1204, the impurities adhering to the outer surface of the electrode of the lithium battery module 6 can be cleaned by the rotation of the cleaning sleeve 1204, thereby ensuring that there will be no impurities in the electrode of the lithium battery module 6 during the subsequent welding process, thereby improving the quality of welding, and as the lithium battery module 6 moves, after being cleaned again by the second welding protection component 11, it can reach the bottom of the friction sleeve 1208, and the rotation of the friction sleeve 1208 can frictionally preheat the electrode of the lithium battery module 6 passing through, so that there will be no excessive temperature difference during the subsequent welding process.
