[0035] The present invention provides the following preferred embodiments: Embodiment 1, as Figure 1-Figure 11 As shown, a welding device for a battery metal shell includes a base 11, a vertical plate 33, a positioning mechanism, a rotating mechanism, a welding mechanism, a blowing mechanism and two fixing seats 12, the two fixing seats 12 are fixedly mounted on the top of the base 11, and the vertical plate 33 is located on one side of one of the fixing seats 12 and fixed to the top of the base 11; The rotating mechanism includes a driving assembly, two rotating drums 13, two annular plates 14 and a plurality of connecting rods 21. Each rotating drum 13 is rotatably arranged in the middle of the fixed seat 12. Specifically, the fixed seat 12 and the rotating drum 13 are rotatably connected via a bearing. The two annular plates 14 are respectively fixedly installed on the sides of the two rotating drums 13 that are close to each other. A plurality of connecting rods 21 are equidistantly fixed between the two annular plates 14. The two rotating drums 13 on both sides can be fixed together by the connecting rods 21, so that the two rotating drums 13 and the two annular plates 14 can form a main body. The driving assembly is installed between the base 11 and one of the rotating drums 13. The driving assembly can drive one of the rotating drums 13 to rotate. Since the two rotating drums 13 can form a main body by using the connecting rods 21, the driving assembly can drive the two rotating drums 13 to rotate synchronously inside the fixed seat 12 when working. The positioning mechanism includes an electric suction cup 40, a pushing component, a rotating component, two telescopic components and eight abutting plates 17. Each of the four abutting plates 17 is annularly and equidistantly arranged in the middle of a rotating drum 13. Each telescopic component is located between the annular plate 14 and the four abutting plates 17. The rotating component is located between the two annular plates 14 and the two telescopic components. When the rotating component works, it can drive the two telescopic components to work, so as to adjust the positions of the four abutting plates 17 inside each rotating drum 13, so as to fix the bottom shells of different models. It has a wide range of applications and high practicality, and meets the use requirements. The electric suction cup 40 is positioned On the side of the vertical plate 33 close to the fixing seat 12, the upper cover can be adsorbed and fixed by the electric suction cup 40. The pushing component is located between the vertical plate 33 and the electric suction cup 40. After the bottom shell is fixed, the upper cover is placed on the electric suction cup 40, and the upper cover is adsorbed and fixed by the electric suction cup 40. Then, the electric suction cup 40 and the upper cover on the electric suction cup 40 are driven by the pushing component to move, so that the upper cover can be docked with the bottom shell, so as to facilitate the subsequent welding of the bottom shell and the upper cover. There is no need to manually support and fix the bottom shell and the upper cover. The device can ensure the stable placement between the bottom shell and the upper cover, which is conducive to improving the welding accuracy. The welding mechanism includes a welding head 38 and a moving assembly. The welding head 38 is located at the top of the vertical plate 33 and close to one side of the fixed seat 12. The moving assembly is installed on Between the vertical plate 33 and the welding head 38, the moving assembly can drive the welding head 38 to move vertically and horizontally, so as to adjust the position of the welding head 38, so that the welding head 38 can move along the gap between the bottom shell and the upper cover, which is convenient for welding; The blowing mechanism includes a transmission assembly, a conveying assembly, two nozzles 54, two mounting blocks 53, two second strip grooves 52 and two sliding assemblies. The two second strip grooves 52 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the vertical plate 33. Each mounting block 53 is slidably arranged inside a second strip groove 52. Each nozzle 54 is installed on a side of a mounting block 53 close to the fixed seat 12. The output end of the conveying assembly is connected to the input end of the two nozzles 54. Each sliding assembly is located between the vertical plate 33 and a mounting block 53. The transmission assembly is located between a rotating drum 13 and the two sliding assemblies. By respectively arranging nozzles 54 on both sides of the bottom shell, the gas can be sprayed out through the nozzles 54 by using the conveying assembly. When the welding of one side of the bottom shell and the upper cover is completed, during the process of the bottom shell and the upper cover being driven by the rotating assembly to rotate, one of the nozzles 54 can blow air to the side to be welded, and blow away the impurities or dust on its surface, so as to ensure the quality and effect of the subsequent welding. At the same time, during the rotation of the bottom shell, the other nozzle 54 can blow air to cool the weld seam after welding, and can timely dissipate heat from the welded part, which is beneficial to reduce thermal stress and deformation, thereby facilitating the overall stability and durability of the welded structure. When the rotating drum 13 drives the bottom shell to rotate, the transmission assembly can drive the two sliding assemblies to work, thereby driving the two nozzles 54 to move back and forth. That is, when the bottom shell rotates, the two nozzles 54 can move back and forth horizontally, and can evenly and comprehensively blow air to the side to be welded and the side that has been welded, thereby ensuring the dust cleaning effect and the cooling effect to meet the use requirements.

[0036] like Figure 1-Figure 11 As shown, the rotating assembly includes a U-shaped frame 24, a first cylinder 25, a push plate 59 and two racks 23, the U-shaped frame 24 is fixedly mounted on the top of the two annular plates 14, the two racks 23 are symmetrically slidably arranged on both sides of the U-shaped frame 24, the push plate 59 is fixedly mounted between one ends of the two racks 23, the first cylinder 25 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the U-shaped frame 24, and the output end of the first cylinder 25 is fixedly connected to the surface of the push plate 59; When the position of the abutting plate 17 needs to be adjusted to fix the bottom shell, the first cylinder 25 is controlled to work, and the first cylinder 25 can drive the push plate 59 to move, thereby driving the two racks 23 on both sides to slide on the U-shaped frame 24.

[0037] like Figure 1-Figure 11 As shown, each telescopic assembly includes a swivel 18, a first gear ring 22, four arc-shaped grooves 19, four first insertion rods 20, four slide grooves 15 and four L-shaped moving plates 16; The swivel 18 is rotatably arranged on a side of the annular plate 14 away from the rotating drum 13. Specifically, the swivel 18 and the annular plate 14 are rotatably connected via a bearing. Four arc grooves 19 are equidistantly arranged on the surface of the swivel 18. The first gear ring 22 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the swivel 18. The first gear ring 22 and the rack 23 are meshed with each other. When the rack 23 moves, the rack 23 can drive the first gear ring 22 to rotate, thereby driving the swivel 18 to rotate on the surface of the annular plate 14. Four slide grooves 15 are equidistantly arranged on the surface of the annular plate 14. One end of each L-shaped movable plate 16 is slidably arranged inside a slide groove 15. The other end of each L-shaped movable plate 16 passes through the rotating drum 13 and is fixedly connected to a clamping plate 17. Specifically, the L-shaped movable plate 16 and the rotating drum 13 are slidably connected. Each first plug rod 20 is fixed on a side of an L-shaped movable plate 16 away from the clamping plate 17. The other end of each first plug rod 20 is inserted into the inside of an arc groove 19. When the rack 23 moves with the movement of the push plate 59, since the rack 23 and the first gear ring 22 are meshed with each other, the first gear ring 22 can be rotated when the rack 23 moves, so that the swivel 18 can rotate on the surface of the annular plate 14. When the swivel 18 rotates, it can drive the four arc grooves 19 to rotate, so that the L-shaped moving plate 16 can be driven to slide inside the slide groove 15 through the first plug rod 20, thereby driving the clamping plate 17 to move, thereby adjusting the position of the clamping plate 17, so that the four clamping plates 17 can be moved to the four sides of the bottom shell respectively and fix the bottom shell.

[0038] like Figure 1-Figure 11 As shown, the pushing assembly includes a third cylinder 39 and a mounting plate 60. The mounting plate 60 is fixedly mounted on a side of the vertical plate 33 away from the fixing seat 12. The third cylinder 39 is fixedly mounted above the mounting plate 60. The output end of the third cylinder 39 passes through the vertical plate 33 and is rotatably connected to the electric suction cup 40 through a bearing. The upper cover can be adsorbed and fixed by the electric suction cup 40. When the upper cover and the bottom shell need to be docked, the third cylinder 39 is controlled to work. The third cylinder 39 can drive the electric suction cup 40 to move, thereby driving the upper cover to move to one side of the bottom shell, so as to achieve docking between the upper cover and the bottom shell, which can ensure stable placement between the bottom shell and the upper cover and is conducive to improving welding accuracy.

[0039] like Figure 1-Figure 11 As shown, the driving assembly includes a first sprocket 26, a second sprocket 27, a chain 28, a motor 29 and a motor seat 30. The first sprocket 26 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the drum 13 away from the side of the vertical plate 33. The motor seat 30 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 11. The second sprocket 27 is rotatably arranged on one side of the motor seat 30. The chain 28 is sleeved on the second sprocket 27 and the first sprocket 26. The motor 29 is fixedly installed on the side of the motor seat 30 away from the second sprocket 27. The output end of the motor 29 is fixedly connected to the second sprocket 27. When the upper cover and one side of the bottom shell are welded, the motor 29 is controlled to work, and the motor 29 can drive the second sprocket 27 to rotate, and the first sprocket 26 can be driven to rotate under the action of the chain 28, so that the rotating drum 13 can be rotated, and the rotating drum 13 can be rotated 90 degrees, so that the other side can be rotated to the welding station; It should be noted here that since the bottom shell and the upper cover have been welded on one side, the bottom shell and the upper cover have been connected together. At the same time, since the electric suction cup 40 is rotatably connected to the output end of the third cylinder 39 through a bearing, it will not affect the rotation of the upper cover, that is, when the bottom shell rotates ninety degrees, the upper cover and the bottom shell can rotate synchronously.

[0040] like Figure 1-Figure 11As shown, the transmission assembly includes a second gear ring 31, a gear 32, a rotating shaft 41, two driving wheels 42, two driven wheels 43, two transmission belts 44 and two mounting seats 45; Two mounting seats 45 are symmetrically fixed on a side of the vertical plate 33 away from the fixed seat 12, two driven wheels 43 are rotatably set on the two mounting seats 45 respectively, the rotating shaft 41 is rotatably set on the vertical plate 33, two driving wheels 42 are coaxial and fixed on one end of the rotating shaft 41, each transmission belt 44 is sleeved on a driven wheel 43 and a driving wheel 42, the gear 32 is fixedly mounted on one end of the rotating shaft 41 away from the transmission belt 44, the second gear ring 31 is fixedly sleeved on a rotating drum 13 close to one side of the vertical plate 33, and the second gear ring 31 and the gear 32 are meshed with each other; When the drum 13 drives the bottom shell and the upper cover to rotate ninety degrees, the drum 13 can drive the second gear ring 31 to rotate. Since the second gear ring 31 and the gear 32 are meshed with each other, when the second gear ring 31 rotates, it can drive the gear 32 to rotate. The gear 32 can drive the two driving wheels 42 to rotate synchronously through the rotating shaft 41. Under the action of the transmission belt 44, when the driving wheel 42 rotates, it can drive the driven wheel 43 to rotate on the mounting seat 45.

[0041] like Figure 1-Figure 11 As shown, each sliding assembly includes a rotating rod 46, a sliding sleeve 47, a swing rod 48, a swing shaft 49, a first strip groove 50 and a second insertion rod 51; One end of the swing rod 48 is rotatably arranged on one side of the vertical plate 33, a first strip groove 50 is provided at the other end of the swing rod 48, a second plug rod 51 is inserted into the first strip groove 50 and one end of the second plug rod 51 is fixedly connected to the mounting block 53, a swing shaft 49 is fixedly installed on the end of the swing rod 48 away from the first strip groove 50, a sliding sleeve 47 is slidingly sleeved on the swing shaft 49 through a sliding bearing, a rotating rod 46 is located on the side of the mounting seat 45 away from the driven wheel 43, and one end of the rotating rod 46 is coaxial with and fixedly connected to the driven wheel 43, and the other end of the rotating rod 46 is hinged to the surface of the sliding sleeve 47; When the driven wheel 43 rotates, it can drive the rotating rod 46 to rotate. Since the other end of the rotating rod 46 is hinged to the sliding sleeve 47, and the sliding sleeve 47 is slidingly sleeved on the swing shaft 49, when the rotating rod 46 rotates, it can drive the swing rod 48 to swing, thereby driving the first strip groove 50 to swing. Under the action of the second plug rod 51, when the swing rod 48 swings, it can drive the mounting block 53 to move horizontally inside the second strip groove 52, thereby driving the nozzle 54 to move horizontally. Specifically, the two nozzles 54 are located at the two ends of the upper side of the bottom shell. When the bottom shell rotates, it drives the side edges on both sides of the bottom shell to rotate. Therefore, the horizontally reciprocating nozzles 54 can evenly and comprehensively blow air to the side to be welded and the side that has been welded, ensuring the dust cleaning effect and the cooling effect. It should be noted here that in actual use, before welding the first gap between the bottom shell and the upper cover, it is necessary to manually clean the position that is about to be welded to ensure the welding effect.

When it is necessary to dock the upper cover and the bottom shell, the third cylinder 39 is controlled to work, and the third cylinder 39 can drive the electric suction cup 40 to move, thereby driving the upper cover to move, and move the upper cover to one side of the bottom shell to realize the docking of the upper cover and the bottom shell, which can ensure the stable placement between the bottom shell and the upper cover, and is conducive to improving the welding accuracy; Then, the personnel manually clean the position where welding is to be performed on the bottom shell and the upper cover, control the second cylinder 34 to work, so that the welding head 38 can move downward, and then control the electric slide 35 to work, so that the welding head 38 can move along the gap between the upper cover and the bottom shell to achieve welding on one side; After the welding of one side of the upper cover and the bottom shell is completed, the fan 58 is controlled to work, and the fan 58 can transport the gas to the nozzle 54 through the hose 5 shunt pipe 56 and the hose 55, and the gas is ejected through the nozzle 54, and then the motor 29 is controlled to work, and the motor 29 can drive the second sprocket 27 to rotate, and under the action of the chain 28, the first sprocket 26 can be driven to rotate, so that the rotating drum 13 can be rotated, and the rotating drum 13 can be rotated ninety degrees, so that the other side can be rotated to the welding station. During the rotation of the bottom shell and the upper cover, one of the nozzles 54 can blow air to the side to be welded, and blow away the impurities or dust on its surface to ensure the quality and effect of the later welding. At the same time, during the rotation of the bottom shell, the other nozzle 54 can blow air to cool the weld seam after welding, and can timely dissipate heat from the welded part, which is conducive to reducing thermal stress and deformation, thereby helping to enhance the overall stability and durability of the welded structure; At the same time, when the drum 13 drives the bottom shell and the upper cover to rotate 90 degrees, the drum 13 can drive the second gear ring 31 to rotate. Since the second gear ring 31 and the gear 32 are meshed with each other, when the second gear ring 31 rotates, it can drive the gear 32 to rotate. The gear 32 can drive the two driving wheels 42 to rotate synchronously through the rotating shaft 41. Under the action of the transmission belt 44, when the driving wheel 42 rotates, it can drive the driven wheel 43 to rotate on the mounting seat 45. When the driven wheel 43 rotates, it can drive the rotating rod 46 to rotate. Since the other end of the rotating rod 46 is connected to the mounting seat 45, the rotating rod 46 can rotate. The sliding sleeves 47 are hinged, and the sliding sleeves 47 are slidingly sleeved on the swing shaft 49, so when the rotating rod 46 rotates, it can drive the swing rod 48 to swing, thereby driving the first strip groove 50 to swing. Under the action of the second plug rod 51, when the swing rod 48 swings, it can drive the mounting block 53 to move horizontally inside the second strip groove 52, thereby driving the nozzle 54 to move horizontally.
