[0011] Preferably, a second rotating rod is fixedly connected above the movable strip, and the second rotating rod is rotatably installed on the recycling box through a bearing.

[0012] Preferably, the driving assembly includes a fixed seat, which is fixedly connected in the recycling box. A motor is fixedly connected above the fixed seat. The output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected with a first gear, which meshes with a second gear, and the second gear meshes with the third gear;

[0013] A third sleeve is fixedly connected inside the second gear, and the third sleeve is rotatably installed in the recycling box through a bearing.

[0014] Preferably, the detachable welding assembly includes a welding head, the top end of which is butted against a middle section. A plurality of heat conducting sheets are arranged inside the middle section. The top end of the middle section is sleeved in a fixed sleeve, and the middle section is installed in the fixed sleeve through bolts.

[0015] Preferably, the fixed sleeve is fixedly connected to the upper section. The spiral strip is fixedly connected in the upper section. The top end of the upper section is fixedly connected with a recycling box, which is located in the recycling box. The recycling box, the upper section and the middle section are communicated with each other.

[0019] A use method of a friction welding device for a battery box includes the following steps:

[0020] S1. When performing friction welding on the battery box, the welding mechanism is controlled by the welding equipment to be positioned on the battery box. At this time, the motor is controlled to drive the first gear to rotate. The first gear is in transmission with the second gear. The second gear drives the upper section to rotate through the third sleeve. The upper section drives the middle section to rotate. Moreover, the upper section also drives the first rotating rod to rotate through the spiral bar and the driving end. The first rotating rod drives the welding head to rotate. Then, the welding head welds the battery box by the rotational friction heating method, and the welding equipment drives the welding head to move forward for welding operation;

[0021] S2. During the linear welding process, the second gear also drives the third gear to rotate. The third gear drives the driving crank to rotate. The crank drives the movable frame to reciprocate, so that the movable frame drives the movable strip to swing reciprocally. The movable strip drives the dust suction part and the brush to swing, so that the brush cleans the burrs remaining after welding. At this time, the recycling machine operates to recycle the welding material after welding into the recycling box. Since the rotation of the first rotating rod also drives the cutter post and the blades to rotate, the blades cut and crush the welding material, so that the cut welding material falls into the recycling box;

[0022] S3. After the linear welding is completed, the electric push rod is controlled to extend at this time. The electric push rod drives the upper section and the middle section to move upward through the connecting piece, separating the middle section from the welding head. Moreover, the upper section controls the driving end to rotate through the spiral strip, the driving end drives the upper spiral plate to rotate, and the upper spiral plate conveys the cut welding material in the recovery box downward into the middle section. During the high-speed rotation process of the middle section, heat is generated by friction to heat the welding material in the middle section, making the welding material in a molten liquid state. At this time, the lower spiral plate rotates, conveying the remaining molten welding material in the original middle section downward into the keyhole, thereby completing the filling of the keyhole left by welding. After the filling is completed, the welding head is controlled to rise through the welding equipment to perform the welding operation of the next section.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a friction welding device and method for a battery box, having the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. For the friction welding device and method of the battery box, the motor drives the first gear and the second gear to transmit power, enabling the upper section to drive the welding head to rotate through the cutting assembly to perform the friction welding operation on the battery box. And during the linear welding process, the second gear also drives the third gear to transmit power, enabling the curved rod to drive the movable frame to reciprocate, and the movable strip drives the dust suction part to swing through the second rotating rod. In this way, not only can the suction area be increased to avoid the residue of the welding material, but also the dust suction part can drive the brush to swing, and the brush can clean the burrs remaining after welding, meeting the requirement of leveling the welded battery box, improving the processing efficiency. Secondly, cooperating with the recycling machine can achieve the purpose of recycling the welding material, thereby avoiding damage to the battery box caused by secondary clamping.

[0025] 2. For the friction welding device and method of the battery box, the motor drives the first gear and the second gear to transmit power, the second gear drives the third sleeve to drive the upper section to rotate, enabling the upper section to drive the middle section to rotate, generating frictional heat between the middle section and the battery box. Moreover, with the rapid increase in heat during high-speed movement, the welding material in the middle section can be heated, making the welding material in a molten liquid state. Then, the electric push rod controls the upper section to drive the middle section to move upward away from the welding head. At the same time, the spiral strip controls the driving end to drive the first rotating rod to rotate, enabling the lower spiral plate to convey the molten welding material downward and smoothly fill it into the keyhole along the welding head, thereby achieving the purpose of automatically filling the keyhole.

[0026] 3. The friction welding device and method for the battery box drive the first gear and the second gear to transmit through a motor, so that the second gear and the third gear transmit. In this way, the curved rod drives the movable bar to swing through the movable frame, so that the brush removes the burrs after welding, and the recycling machine recycles the welding material into the recycling box. Since the middle section rotates, the first rotating rod can also be driven to rotate through the spiral bar and the driving end, so that the blade rotates to cut and crush the burrs, making the welding material into smaller particles, which is beneficial to subsequent hot melting operations. And the upper spiral sheet can smoothly convey the welding material and put it into the middle section. When the lifting component lifts the upper section and the middle section upward, the lower spiral sheet can fill the molten welding material into the keyhole. Thus, this method can use the raw materials remaining after welding to fill and seal the keyhole, without separate filling, reducing material waste and lowering the processing cost.

The cutting assembly 204 includes a first rotating rod 2045. Upper and lower ends of the first rotating rod 2045 are respectively and fixedly connected with an upper spiral piece 2043 and a lower spiral piece 2046. Driving ends 2044 are fixedly connected to both sides of the first rotating rod 2045. One end of the driving end 2044 is an arc edge, and the arc edge of the driving end 2044 is slidably connected to the spiral bar 208;

[0051] The recycling component 201 includes a recycling bin 2011. The recycling bin 2011 is connected to the driving end 2044 of the welding device 100. A filter screen 2015 is arranged inside the recycling bin 2011. One side of the recycling bin 2011 is communicated with a recycling machine 2012. The recycling machine 2012 is fixedly installed on the recycling bin 2011. The recycling machine 2012 is also communicated with a recycling pipe 2013. The recycling pipe 2013 is a flexible pipe. The bottom end of the recycling pipe 2013 is communicated with a dust suction part 2014. A brush 2016 is fixedly connected below the dust suction part 2014;

[0052] The reciprocating motion component 207 includes a curved rod 2072. The top end of the curved rod 2072 is fixedly connected with a third gear 2071. The curved rod 2072 is rotatably installed on the recycling bin 2011 through a bearing. The curved rod 2072 is arranged in a movable frame 2073. One side of the movable frame 2073 is fixedly connected with a movable strip 2075. One end of the movable strip 2075 is fixedly connected with the dust suction part 2014. A second rotating rod 2074 is fixedly connected above the movable strip 2075. The second rotating rod 2074 is rotatably installed on the recycling bin 2011 through a bearing;

[0053] The driving component 203 includes a fixed seat 2033. The fixed seat 2033 is fixedly connected in the recycling bin 2011. A motor 2032 is fixedly connected above the fixed seat 2033. The output shaft of the motor 2032 is fixedly connected with a first gear 2031. The first gear 2031 meshes with a second gear 2034. The second gear 2034 meshes with the third gear 2071. A third sleeve 2035 is fixedly connected inside the second gear 2034. The third sleeve 2035 is rotatably installed in the recycling bin 2011 through a bearing.

[0054] In this embodiment: The first gear 2031 is driven by the motor 2032 to drive the second gear 2034, so that the second gear 2034 drives the third gear 2071. In this way, the curved rod 2072 drives the movable strip 2075 to swing through the movable frame 2073, so that the brush 2016 removes the burrs after welding. And the recycling machine 2012 recovers the welding material into the recycling bin 2011. Since the middle section 2022 rotates, the first rotating rod 2045 can also be driven to rotate by the spiral strip 208 and the driving end 2044, so that the blade 2042 rotates to cut and crush the burrs, making the welding material in smaller particles, which is beneficial to subsequent hot melting operations. And the upper spiral blade 2043 can smoothly convey the welding material and put it into the middle section 2022. When the lifting component lifts the upper section 2025 and the middle section 2022 upward, the lower spiral blade 2046 can fill the molten welding material into the keyhole. Thus, this method can utilize the remaining raw materials after welding to fill and seal the keyhole, without the need for separate filling, and reduces material waste and processing costs.

[0055] A method for using a friction welding device for a battery box, comprising the following steps:

[0056] S1. When performing friction welding on the battery box, the welding mechanism is controlled by the welding device 100 to be positioned on the battery box. At this time, the motor 2032 is controlled to drive the first gear 2031 to rotate. The first gear 2031 is in transmission with the second gear 2034. The second gear 2034 drives the upper section 2025 to rotate through the third sleeve 2035. The upper section 2025 drives the middle section 2022 to rotate. Moreover, the upper section 2025 also drives the first rotating rod 2045 to rotate through the spiral bar 208 and the driving end 2044. The first rotating rod 2045 drives the welding head 2021 to rotate. Then, the welding head 2021 welds the battery box by means of rotational friction heating. And the welding device 100 drives the welding head 2021 to move forward to perform the welding operation;

[0057] S2. During the linear welding process, the second gear 2034 also drives the third gear 2071 to rotate. The third gear 2071 drives the driving crank 2072 to rotate. The crank 2072 drives the movable frame 2073 to reciprocate, causing the movable frame 2073 to drive the movable bar 2075 to swing reciprocally. The movable bar 2075 drives the dust collection part 2014 and the brush 2016 to swing, so that the brush 2016 cleans the burrs remaining after welding. At this time, the recycler 2012 operates to recycle the welding material after welding into the recycling box 2011. Since the first rotating rod 2045 also drives the cutter post 2041 and the blade 2042 to rotate during the rotation process, the blade 2042 cuts and crushes the welding material, causing the cut welding material to fall into the recycling box 205;

[0058] S3. After the linear welding is completed, at this time, the electric push rod 2061 is controlled to extend. The electric push rod 2061 drives the upper section 2025 and the middle section 2022 to move upward through the connecting piece 2062, separating the middle section 2022 from the welding head 2021. Moreover, the upper section 2025 controls the driving end 2044 to rotate through the spiral bar 208. The driving end 2044 drives the upper spiral piece 2043 to rotate. The upper spiral piece 2043 conveys the cut welding material in the recycling box 205 downward into the middle section 2022. During the high-speed rotation of the middle section 2022, heat is generated by friction to heat the welding material in the middle section 2022, making the welding material in a molten liquid state. At this time, the lower spiral piece 2046 rotates to convey the remaining molten welding material in the original middle section 2022 downward into the keyhole, thereby completing the filling of the keyhole left by the welding. After the filling is completed, the welding device 100 controls the welding head 2021 to rise to perform the welding operation for the next section.

[0059] The above are only the preferred specific embodiments of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, making equivalent substitutions or changes, shall be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
