In the normal operation of the soft package battery press device in the embodiment, the probe group mechanism 3 and the supporting mechanism 4 can move towards each other and move away from each other. It can be understood that, for example, Figures 4 to 6As shown, the guide column 231 is vertically fixed at both ends with the first fixed plate 211 and the second fixed plate 212, the transmission connecting piece 221 is vertically fixed at both ends with the lifting top plate 213 and the lifting bottom plate 214, the guide column 231 is arranged in the lifting top plate 213 and is slidably connected with the lifting top plate 213, so that the probe group mechanism 3 and the supporting mechanism 4 are both in the position parallel to the plane of the first fixed plate 211, when the two are close to each other, the plurality of conductive probes 321 arranged in the probe group mechanism 3 can realize simultaneous pressing contact with the plurality of tab ears 61 of the soft package battery 6 placed on the tray 5, so as to avoid that the uneven contact of the conductive probes 321 leads to the reduction of the production yield of the soft package battery.
[0066] In some preferred embodiments, the plurality of probe group mechanisms 3 and the plurality of supporting mechanisms 4 are stacked between the lifting top plate 213 and the second fixed plate 212, the probe group mechanism 3 comprises a probe mounting plate 31 fixedly connected with the plurality of guide columns 231, a plurality of probe mechanisms 32 are installed on the probe mounting plate 31, the probe mechanism 32 comprises a conductive probe 321 assembly and a probe support 324, the conductive probe 321 assembly comprises a plurality of conductive probes 321, a plurality of positioning columns 322 and a plurality of springs 323, the conductive probe 321 is arranged in the probe support 324, each positioning column 322 is fixedly connected with the probe support 324 and can limit the movement of each conductive probe 321 in the probe support 324, and one spring 323 is arranged on each conductive probe 321, and the axis of the spring 323 is parallel to the movement track of the conductive probe 321.
[0067] In the embodiment, the plurality of probe group mechanisms 3 and the plurality of supporting mechanisms 4 are stacked between the lifting top plate 213 and the second fixed plate 212, it can be known that the supporting mechanism 4 can be driven to lift by the power mechanism 7 through the connecting plate mechanism 22, specifically, when the lifting bottom plate 214 is driven to lift by the power mechanism 7, the supporting mechanism 4 is indirectly driven to lift by the lifting top plate 213 and the lifting bottom plate 214 connected with the transmission connecting piece 221, the lifting top plate 213 can move along the guide column 231, and the lifting distance of the supporting mechanism 4 is the moving distance between the first fixed plate 211 and the lifting top plate 213; the probe mounting plate 31 is a component parallel to the first fixed plate 211 as a reference of the probe group mechanism 3, and a plurality of probe mechanisms 32 are installed on the probe mounting plate 31, the present application can improve the production efficiency of soft package batteries of various specifications, such as Figures 4 to 14As shown, the conductive probe assembly includes a plurality of conductive probes 321, considering that it is necessary to measure the current and voltage at the battery tab 61 during the production of the soft package battery, a plurality of conductive probes 321 are arranged to measure the voltage and current information of the positive and negative battery tabs 61. In view of the inconsistent working principle and structure of the conductive probes 321 for measuring voltage and current in the prior art, in order to make the collection of voltage and current information more comprehensive and detailed, at least four positive current probes, positive voltage probes, negative current probes and negative voltage probes are required to be arranged respectively;
[0068] In the embodiment, it can be understood that the positioning column 322 is only one implementation of the structure of the conductive probe 321 penetrating the probe support 324 in the application to ensure that the conductive probe 321 is implemented. In addition, the purpose can also be achieved by the structure of buckle, protrusion or combination of the two;
[0069] On the other hand, the spring 323 is arranged on the conductive probe, such as Figures 12 to 14 An embodiment of the application is to arrange a guide groove on the conductive probe 321, the guide groove is provided with buckles at both ends, the spring 323 is connected with the two buckles at both ends, and the positioning column 322 penetrates the guide groove. When the soft package battery pressing bed equipment in the application works, the conductive probe 321 in the probe mechanism 32 is pressed to move when the supporting mechanism 4 moves upward. The axis of the spring 323 is parallel to the moving track of the conductive probe 321, so that the conductive probe 321 moves upward to buffer the stress when it is pressed and contacted by the tab 61 of the soft package battery 6, thereby avoiding the damage of the tab 61 of the soft package battery 6 and affecting the yield rate of the soft package battery 6 production.
[0070] In some preferred embodiments, the supporting mechanism 4 includes a tray supporting plate 41 for supporting the pressing tray 5, the tray 5 is used for placing a plurality of soft package batteries 6, and the tray 5 is provided with a plurality of insulating parts 52 arranged regularly. The insulating part 52 is provided with a separation part 53, the plurality of insulating parts 52 are provided with spaces for placing the soft package batteries 6, and the insulating part 52 is used for supporting the tab 61 of the soft package battery 6.
[0071] In the embodiment, as shown, Figures 7 to 11 The tray supporting plate 41 is symmetrically provided with pressing baffles on both sides, the pressing baffle close to the door end of the housing of the embodiment is provided with an opening, and the end of the pressing baffle away from the door of the housing is provided with a spring pressing piece. The tray supporting plate 41 supports the pressing tray 5 through the two pressing baffles and the spring pressing piece;
[0072] In order to protect the tray 5, a micro switch 42 and a rear baffle are provided at a position of the tray support plate 41 away from the shell door. The micro switch 42 is used to sense whether the tray 5 is in place, and the rear baffle is used to stop the tray 5 from continuing to slide backward after passing the pressing baffle and hitting the shell 1 to be damaged. Furthermore, there are chamfered anti-mistake designs at both ends of the rear baffle. The four corners on both sides of the tray 5 are set as rounded corners on one side and chamfered corners on the other side. When the tray 5 is dragged through the pressing baffle into the supporting mechanism 4, the left and right pressing baffles prevent the tray 5 from shifting left and right, so that the conductive probe 321 and the battery tab 61 are pressed and contacted more accurately. After the tray 5 is in place, the chamfer provided on the tray 5 is aligned with the chamfer of the rear baffle to ensure successful installation, which can prevent the tray 5 from being placed upside down. It can be understood that the rounded corner design of the tray 5 is also for this purpose.
[0073] In this embodiment, Figure 9 As shown, the tray 5 is square and is provided with a plurality of battery positions 51 for placing soft-pack batteries 6 in order to produce a plurality of soft-pack batteries 6 at the same time. An insulating portion 52 is provided at the battery position 51. Figures 7 to 11 As shown, the insulating portions 52 are regularly arranged on the tray 5. In this embodiment, the multiple insulating portions 52 are divided into multiple rows and each row of insulating portions 52 is arranged side by side and aligned with one side of the tray 5, specifically four rows of insulating portions 52. In this embodiment, a reinforcing bar 54 is further provided on the tray 5. The reinforcing bar 54 is used to structure and connect the entire tray. In this embodiment, the recessed space in the tray 5 is divided into two parts, and multiple insulating portions 52 are provided in each of the two parts. Space for placing the soft-pack batteries 6 is left between the insulating portions 52. It can be understood that the number of arrangements of the reinforcing bars 54 and the insulating portions 52 is not limited to a fixed natural number. In this embodiment, providing one reinforcing bar 54 and four rows of insulating portions 52 is only one of the more preferred implementations.
[0074] In this embodiment, the insulating portion 52 is an insulating boss. Considering that the tab 61 of a common soft-pack battery extends from the side of the soft-pack battery 6, the insulating boss is used to place the soft-pack battery tab 61. The height of the insulating boss is set to a structure that enables the tab 61 set on the soft-pack battery 6 to fit therewith. A soft insulating material layer is provided on the insulating boss. The soft insulating material layer can be attached by pasting a layer of soft insulating material, or by vulcanizing the insulating portion and attaching a layer of soft vulcanized rubber. The soft insulating material has high elasticity and can better ensure that the conductive probe 321 is in full contact with the tab 61. Furthermore, considering that the soft-pack battery tab 61 may be bent and folded when in contact with the conductive probe 321, thereby causing a short circuit fault, an isolation portion 53 is further provided on the insulating boss. The isolation portion 53 is used to separate the positive and negative electrodes of the soft-pack battery 6, which can prevent the tab 61 from being too soft and bent, causing a short circuit, thereby causing the battery to spontaneously combust.
[0075] On the other hand, the area of the insulating boss is larger than the area of the soft package battery tab 61, and the soft package battery tab 61 is placed on the insulating boss, which can be compatible with various specifications of the soft package battery 6, specifically, the tabs 61 of different specifications of the soft package battery, and the size of the tabs 61 of different specifications of the soft package battery is generally different, and the insulating boss can completely fit and support the tab 61, and the insulating boss has a certain length and width to be compatible with the tabs 61 of different sizes;
[0076] On the other hand, grooves are provided on the front and rear sides of the tray 5, such as Figures 7 to 11 The grooves are used to facilitate the pushing and pulling of the tray 5 during installation and disassembly.
[0077] In some preferred embodiments, the power mechanism 7 is a pneumatic cylinder mechanism, which includes at least two cylinders 71, a plurality of lifting guide shafts 72 and a plurality of linear bearings. The cylinder 71 is arranged below the second fixed plate 212, one end of the lifting guide shaft 72 is connected to the second fixed plate 212, and the other end is arranged through the lifting bottom plate 214 and is sleeved with the linear bearing, and the linear bearing is fixedly arranged on the lifting bottom plate 214. A magnetic induction switch is arranged on the cylinder 71 to detect the distance of the cylinder 71 pushing the lifting bottom plate 214. The power mechanism 7 further includes a limiting component for limiting the compression amount of the conductive probe 321 compressed by the soft package battery tab 61.
[0078] In this embodiment, the pneumatic cylinder mechanism is selected as the power mechanism 7 for the consideration of the need for precise and real-time control of the soft package battery 6 production, and the cylinder 71 does not need to be lubricated, which reduces the maintenance cost and environmental pollution.
