Specifically, the bottom of the shell is aligned with the bottom tube 31 of the placement mechanism, and gently pressed down to make the bottom of the shell contact with the cross plate 32. Then, the rotating rod motor 210 in the control mechanism 2 is started, and the motor drives the rotating rod 211 to rotate, and then drives the two gears 215 and the second gear 217 to rotate through the meshing action of the inner turntable 213 and the tooth block 214. In this process, the outer turntable 219 realizes rotational movement through the meshing relationship between the outer turntable tooth block 220 and the second gear 217, and drives the connecting disk 218 and all the connecting frames 221 and the placement mechanism connecting tube 222 to rotate synchronously. In this way, each metal shell placement mechanism 3 can perform circular motion around the central axis of the control mechanism 2, and realize the function of automatically positioning below the welding mechanism 4; At the same time, when it is rotated to the bottom of the welding mechanism 4, in order to more accurately fix the lithium battery metal shell, when any metal shell placement mechanism 3 is rotated to the bottom of the welding mechanism 4, the third gear 35 will mesh with the fan-shaped teeth 26, so that the third gear 35 rotates, and the screw rod 34 is driven by the third gear 35 to rotate, and the lifting tube 361 can be moved up and down. The lifting tube 361 moves up and down, and the fixed plate connecting rod 364 and the fixed plate 365 are moved closer to the center or expanded outward through the transmission of the rotating rod connecting rod 362 and the rotating rod 363 to adapt to lithium battery metal shells of different sizes.

[0023] like Fig. 9 As shown, the welding mechanism 4 includes a vertical plate 41, a hydraulic push rod motor 42 is fixedly connected to the front bottom of the vertical plate 41, a hydraulic push rod 43 is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic push rod motor 42, a hinge block 46 is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical plate 41, and hinge block slide grooves 47 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the hinge block 46, and slide rod grooves 48 are provided on the inner sides of the two hinge block slide grooves 47, and a U-shaped push-pull plate 44 is fixedly connected to the top of the hydraulic push rod 43, and a slide rod 45 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the U-shaped push-pull plate 44. The left and right sides are respectively slidably connected to the inner walls of the two hinge block slide grooves 47, the left and right sides of the outer wall of the slide rod 45 are respectively slidably connected to the inner walls of the two slide rod grooves 48, the front side of the inner wall of the hinge block 46 is rotatably connected to the welding gun rotating rod 49, the rear side of the welding gun rotating rod 49 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod push-pull block 410, the inner wall of the rotating rod push-pull block 410 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slide rod 45, the front side of the welding gun rotating rod 49 is fixedly connected to the welding gun connecting block 411, and the front side of the welding gun connecting block 411 is fixedly connected to the welding gun 412; When welding is completed and no further welding is needed, the hydraulic push rod motor 42 receives a stop command, and its output end begins to retract, driving the hydraulic push rod 43 and the U-shaped push-pull plate 44 connected thereto to move downward. As the U-shaped push-pull plate 44 descends, the slide bar 45 slides smoothly in the slide bar groove 48, and pulls the rotating rod push-pull block 410 to drive the welding gun rotating rod 49 to rotate, so that the welding gun connecting block 411 rotates and drives the welding gun 412 to rotate to the top of the hinge block 46. At this time, the welding gun 412 has completed the welding operation and is safely stored above the hinge block 46, away from the working area, avoiding accidental injuries and damages in the non-working state; At this point, the entire welding process is completed, and the welding mechanism 4 enters a standby state, waiting for the next welding instruction. During this period, the staff can safely check and maintain the welding equipment to ensure its normal operation in subsequent work. At the same time, the welded lithium battery metal shells can be removed one by one for subsequent quality inspection and assembly processes.

[0024] Working principle of the present invention: When the lithium battery metal shell needs to be welded, the lithium battery metal shell is first placed in each metal shell placement mechanism 3. Specifically, the bottom of the shell is aligned with the bottom tube 31 of the placement mechanism, and gently pressed down to make the bottom of the shell contact with the cross plate 32. Then, the rotating rod motor 210 in the control mechanism 2 is started, and the motor drives the rotating rod 211 to rotate, and then through the meshing action of the inner rotating disk 213 and the tooth block 214, the two gears 215 and the second gear 217 are driven to rotate. In this process, the outer rotating disk 219 is meshed with the outer rotating disk tooth block 220 and the second gear 217. The connection mechanism 218 and all the connection frames 221 and the placement mechanism connection tube 222 are connected to each other to realize rotational motion, and drive the connection plate 218 and all the connection frames 221 and the placement mechanism connection tube 222 to rotate synchronously, so that each metal shell placement mechanism 3 can perform circular motion around the central axis of the control mechanism 2 to realize the function of automatically positioning under the welding mechanism 4. At the same time, when it is rotated to the bottom of the welding mechanism 4, in order to more accurately fix the lithium battery metal shell, when any metal shell placement mechanism 3 is rotated to the bottom of the welding mechanism 4, the third gear 35 will mesh with the sector tooth 26, so that the third gear 35 rotates, and the screw rod 34 passes through the third gear 35. The driven rotation of the gear 35 can move the lifting tube 361 up and down. The up and down movement of the lifting tube 361, through the transmission of the rotating rod connecting rod 362 and the rotating rod 363, makes the fixed plate connecting rod 364 and the fixed plate 365 move toward the center or expand outward to adapt to lithium battery metal shells of different sizes. The slider 366 on the fixed plate 365 slides in the slide groove 33 to ensure that the fixed plate 365 can move smoothly and firmly clamp the shell to prevent displacement during the welding process. When the welding is completed, the control mechanism 2 continues to work and drives each metal shell placement mechanism 3 to perform a circular motion. The welded lithium battery metal shell is taken away from the bottom of the welding mechanism 4, and the second sector tooth 29 is meshed with the other side of the third gear 35 to achieve reverse rotation, so that the screw rod 34 is reversed, and the clamping of the lithium battery metal shell is released, allowing the shell to smoothly detach from the metal shell placement mechanism 3. The staff can remove the currently welded lithium battery metal shell while the previous lithium battery metal shell is being welded, and place the next shell to be welded into the idle metal shell placement mechanism 3. Such a cyclic operation not only greatly improves the production efficiency, but also ensures the continuity and stability of the welding process; When welding is completed and no further welding is required, the hydraulic push rod motor 42 receives a stop command, and its output end begins to retract, driving the hydraulic push rod 43 and the U-shaped push-pull plate 44 connected thereto to move downward. As the U-shaped push-pull plate 44 descends, the slide bar 45 slides smoothly in the slide bar groove 48, and pulls the rotating rod push-pull block 410 to drive the welding gun rotating rod 49 to rotate, so that the welding gun connection block 411 rotates and drives the welding gun 412 to rotate to the top of the hinge block 46. At this time, the welding gun 412 has completed the welding operation and is safely stored above the hinge block 46, away from the working area, avoiding accidental injuries and damage in the non-working state. At this time, the entire welding process is completed, and the welding mechanism 4 enters the standby state, waiting for the next welding instruction. During this period, the staff can safely check and maintain the welding equipment to ensure its normal operation in subsequent work. At the same time, the welded lithium battery metal shells can be removed one by one for subsequent quality inspection and assembly processes.
