Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lithium battery splicing, and in particular to a lithium ion battery pack rapid splicing assembly device and method. Background Art

[0002] Lithium-ion battery packs have been widely used in many fields such as electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and portable devices due to their significant advantages such as high energy density, light weight, and long life. Lithium battery packs are battery systems that connect multiple lithium batteries in a specific way to form an integrated system. Lithium battery packs are usually composed of multiple single lithium batteries connected in series or in parallel to provide higher voltage, capacity, or current output capacity. Lithium battery packs have the advantages of high energy density, light weight, and long life, so they are widely used in various fields, including electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and portable devices. Before the multiple single lithium batteries are electrically connected as a whole, the multiple single lithium batteries need to be neatly and evenly arranged and fixed to ensure that there is no short circuit or collision between the single lithium batteries. Generally, in order to facilitate the stable electrical connection of multiple single lithium batteries, two upper and lower connecting brackets are usually used to first clamp and fix the multiple single lithium batteries. At this time, the multiple clamped lithium batteries become a whole, which is convenient for electrical connection between multiple single lithium batteries and subsequent packaging and sealing.

[0003] For example, the patent application with the prior art publication number CN117317390A relates to the field of lithium battery assembly technology, and in particular to a lithium-ion battery pack rapid splicing and assembly device, including an L-shaped workbench, a feeding unit and a plug-in unit. The intermittent transfer unit in the feeding unit regularly conveys rows of lithium battery packs. During the intermittent stop period, the material centering part, the combined pushing part and the docking transfer part process each row of lithium batteries passing through, and finally a row of lithium batteries is transformed from a horizontal state to a vertical state. Then, the transfer and plug-in part in the plug-in unit inserts this row of lithium batteries into the lower connecting bracket under the vertical guiding action of the auxiliary positioning part. Repeating several times can complete a round of lithium battery insertion work. The degree of automation is high, which greatly improves the assembly efficiency of multiple single lithium batteries. At the same time, the automated assembly process can reduce human errors and component damage, and ensure the quality and performance stability of the product.

[0004] The design of the transfer and insertion part in the above-mentioned prior art mainly focuses on the splicing and assembly of lithium batteries in a single lateral direction, which performs well when processing a single group or a few groups of lithium batteries. However, in practical applications, especially when constructing a rectangular lithium battery pack, problems become prominent. Since a rectangular lithium battery pack needs to be composed of a plurality of laterally arranged lithium battery cells connected in a vertical direction, therefore, if only the existing lateral transfer and insertion part is used for assembly, it is necessary to adjust the working direction or reposition each time a group of lateral lithium batteries is spliced, so as to carry out the splicing of the next group of lateral lithium batteries and then carry out the vertical connection. This multiple working coordination not only increases the complexity of the operation, but also significantly prolongs the overall assembly time, thereby affecting the production efficiency. To this end, the present application proposes a lithium-ion battery pack rapid splicing and assembly device and method thereof. Summary of the invention

[0039] For further information, see Figure 4 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 The driving assembly includes a plurality of guide grooves 305 provided inside the transmission plate 304, the plurality of guide grooves 305 are symmetrically provided, a plurality of rollers 307 are rotatably connected in the plurality of guide grooves 305, a slider 302 fixedly connected to a plurality of clamping strips 300 is slidably connected to one side of the movable plate 204, a connecting plate 306 rotatably connected to the rollers 307 is fixedly connected to one side of the slider 302, a second cylinder 303 is fixedly connected to one side of the movable plate 204, an output end of the second cylinder 303 extends to the inside of the movable plate 204 and is fixedly connected to the transmission plate 304, and the transmission plate 304 can be driven to move by setting the second cylinder 303 so that the plurality of clamping strips 300 are close to or away from each other, thereby being suitable for clamping lithium-ion battery cells 103 of different sizes.

[0040] For further information, see Fig.10 , Fig.11 as well as Fig.12A power assembly for driving the extension block 317 to move is disposed inside the plurality of clamps 300, and the power assembly includes an air receiving cylinder 314 fixedly connected to the inside of the clamp 300, and a transmission piston rod 315 adapted thereto is slidably connected to one side of the air receiving cylinder 314, a fixing frame 316 for sliding connection of the extension block 317 is fixedly connected inside the clamp 300, a crank 318 is rotatably connected to one side of the extension block 317, and a movable block 319 rotatably connected to the crank 318 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the transmission piston rod 315, and the power assembly can drive the extension block 317 to expand and be located in the gap between the plurality of lithium-ion battery cells 103, thereby increasing the contact area with the lithium-ion battery cells 103 and increasing the clamping force.

[0041] Among them, see Figure 7 , Figure 8 as well as Fig. 9 The interior of the plurality of connecting plates 306 is fixedly connected with a gas delivery cylinder 308, one side of the gas delivery cylinder 308 is slidably connected with a gas delivery piston rod 309 adapted thereto, the bottom of the gas delivery cylinder 308 is connected with a vent pipe 313, one end of the vent pipe 313 away from the gas delivery cylinder 308 extends into the gas receiving cylinder 314, one end of the gas delivery piston rod 309 is fixedly connected with a resistance block 311 that can resist the transmission plate 304, the outer surface of the gas delivery piston rod 309 is sleeved with a return spring 310 for its return, and the top of the gas delivery cylinder 308 is connected to the gas delivery cylinder 308. The outer surface of the clamp 300 is connected to a solenoid valve 312 and is fixedly connected to rubber belts 301 on both sides of multiple fixed frames 316. The interference block 311 is provided to allow the gas delivery piston rod 309 to slide inside the gas delivery cylinder 308, so that the gas in the gas delivery cylinder 308 is transported to the inside of the gas receiving cylinder 314, so that the transmission piston rod 315 slides and drives the extension block 317 to move. At the same time, the interference block 311 can interfere with the transmission plate 304 so that the clamp 300 clamps each other and drives the multiple extension blocks 317 to expand.

[0042] It is worth mentioning that when it is necessary to release the clamping of multiple lithium-ion battery cells 103, the solenoid valve 312 can be opened to allow the gas in the gas cylinder 308 to leak out, so that the gas in the gas receiving cylinder 314 can flow back through the ventilation pipe 313 and be discharged, thereby allowing the transmission piston rod 315 to reset and drive the extension block 317 to reset, thereby releasing the resistance to the lithium-ion battery cells 103, thereby facilitating the removal of the clamp 300 from the multiple lithium-ion battery cells 103.

[0043] Specifically, the second cylinder 303 is turned on to push the transmission plate 304 to move in the direction of the clamping strip 300, thereby driving the multiple rollers 307 to slide in the guide groove 305, and then driving the multiple sliders 302 to approach each other, so that the clamping strip 300 approaches to clamp the multiple lithium-ion battery cells 103, and at the same time, when the transmission plate 304 gradually approaches the clamping strip 300, it contacts the abutment block 311 so that it applies pressure to the gas delivery piston rod 309, thereby driving its piston end to move in the gas delivery cylinder 308 to drive The gas in the movable gas cylinder 308 is transported to the gas receiving cylinder 314 through the ventilation pipe 313. At this time, the gas in the gas receiving cylinder 314 gradually expands and pushes the piston end of the transmission piston rod 315 to move, so that the transmission piston rod 315 drives multiple movable blocks 319 to move synchronously, thereby driving the crank 318 to tilt and push the connected extension blocks 317 away from each other, so that the extension blocks 317 are unfolded inside the rubber belt 301 and expand, thereby contacting the gaps between each lithium-ion battery cell 103 to form a fixation.

[0044] In summary, by driving the transmission plate 304 to move through the second cylinder 303, and utilizing the sliding mechanism of the roller 307 in the guide groove 305, the multiple clamping strips 300 can be accurately and smoothly driven to approach each other, thereby effectively clamping the lithium-ion battery cell 103. This design is both fast and accurate, greatly improving production efficiency, and the expansion mechanism of the extension block 317 further enhances the stability of the clamping. After the clamping strip 300 clamps the battery cell, the extension block 317 is expanded inside the rubber belt to fill the gap between the cells, thereby forming a more solid fixing effect. This design not only increases the contact area of ​​the clamping, but also improves the uniformity and stability of the clamping, and can adapt to lithium-ion battery cells of different sizes. By adjusting the spacing of the clamping strips 300, the clamping of battery cells of different sizes can be achieved. Various technologies such as pneumatic transmission and mechanical control realize intelligent control of the clamping and fixing process. By opening and closing the solenoid valve 312, the flow of gas can be conveniently controlled, thereby realizing precise control of the expansion and resetting of the extension block 317.

[0045] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 as well as Fig.13The present invention also provides a technical solution, which is different from the technical solution of the first embodiment: a lithium-ion battery pack rapid splicing and assembly device, a displacement component for driving the movable plate 204 to move is arranged on the top of the fixed gimbal 200, and the displacement component includes a second guide rail 201 fixedly connected to the top of the fixed gimbal 200, both ends of the movable plate 204 are slidably connected with sliding shoes 202, and the sliding shoes 202 are adapted to the second guide rail 201, the top of the sliding shoe 202 is fixedly connected with a top frame 203, the top of the top frame 203 is fixedly connected with a first cylinder 205, and the output end of the first cylinder 205 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 204, wherein the second guide rail 201 can drive the sliding shoe 202 to move, thereby driving the movable plate 204 to generate displacement, thereby adjusting the position of multiple clamping strips 300, and by setting the first cylinder 205, the movable plate 204 can be driven to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the multiple clamping strips 300, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the height position of multiple lithium-ion battery cells 103.

[0046] Furthermore, two battery protection frames 400 for supporting lithium-ion battery cells 103 are arranged above the machine base 100, auxiliary frames 401 are fixedly connected to both sides of the machine base 100, a third cylinder 402 is fixedly connected to the top of the auxiliary frame 401, a clamp 405 is fixedly connected to the output end of the third cylinder 402, a fourth cylinder 403 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the machine base 100, an output end of the fourth cylinder 403 is fixedly connected to a limited position seat 404, and a first guide rail 101 for moving the battery storage plate 102 is fixedly connected to the top of the machine base 100, through A battery protection frame 400 is provided to support and protect a plurality of lithium-ion battery cells 103, and the clamp 405 can support and fix a battery protection frame 400, and a battery protection frame 400 can be placed on the top of the limit seat 404, and under the action of the fourth cylinder 403 and the third cylinder 402, the two battery protection frames 400 can be driven to approach each other to squeeze a plurality of lithium-ion battery cells 103 so as to fix them, and at the same time, the battery storage plate 102 can store a large number of lithium-ion battery cells 103, and adapt to the first guide rail 101 to drive the battery storage plate 102 to move.

[0047] Specifically, the first cylinder 205 is then driven to start and the movable plate 204 is driven to move upward so that the multiple clamping strips 300 clamp the multiple lithium-ion battery cells 103 and move them upward to separate them from the first guide rail 101, and the second guide rail 201 is driven to reset the sliding shoe 202, and then the two battery protection frames 400 are placed on the limit seat 404 and the clamping claw 405 respectively, and then the third cylinder 402 and the fourth cylinder 403 are driven to make the two battery protection frames 400 approach each other to assemble the multiple lithium-ion battery cells 103, and then the multiple solenoid valves 312 are opened to allow the gas in the gas cylinder 308 to leak out, so that the transmission piston rod 315 is reset and the multiple extension blocks 317 are driven to reset, thereby releasing the limit on the gaps of the multiple lithium-ion battery cells 103, and then the second guide rail 201 is controlled to drive the multiple clamping strips 300 away from the lithium-ion battery cells 103, and then the fourth cylinder 403 is opened to contract so that the limit seat 404 moves downward to transport the assembled battery pack out of the base 100.

[0048] In summary, by setting a displacement component, the position and height of the movable plate 204 and the clamping strip 300 thereon can be flexibly adjusted. This adjustability enables the system to easily adapt to battery cells of different sizes and arrangements, thereby improving the versatility and flexibility of the equipment. The drive of the first cylinder 205 enables the clamping strip 300 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height position of the battery cell, which is crucial for the subsequent assembly and transportation process. Through the drive of the third cylinder 402 and the fourth cylinder 403, the two battery protection frames 400 can approach each other and squeeze the battery cell to achieve a firm fixation. This fixing method is not only stable and reliable, but also can be completed quickly, which improves production efficiency. The expansion and reset mechanism of the extension block 317 further enhances the fixing effect. When the clamping strip 300 clamps the battery cell, the extension block 317 can fill the gap between the cells to form a tighter fixation. When the fixation needs to be released, the extension block 317 can be quickly reset to facilitate the removal and replacement of the battery cell.

[0049] Example 3: Please refer to Figures 1 to 13 The present invention also provides a technical solution, which is different from the technical solution of the first embodiment: a lithium-ion battery pack rapid splicing and assembly method, comprising the following steps:

[0050] S1, firstly, the first guide rail 101 is opened to drive the battery storage plate 102 to move and transport a plurality of lithium-ion battery cells 103, and then the second guide rail 201 is opened to drive the sliding shoe 202 to move, thereby driving the movable plate 204 to move so that a plurality of clamping strips 300 are respectively inserted between the plurality of lithium-ion battery cells 103;

[0051] S2, then the second cylinder 303 is turned on to push the transmission plate 304 to move in the direction of the clamping strip 300, thereby driving the multiple rollers 307 to slide in the guide groove 305, and then driving the multiple sliders 302 to move closer to each other, so that the clamping strip 300 is close to clamp the multiple lithium-ion battery cells 103, and at the same time, when the transmission plate 304 gradually approaches the clamping strip 300, it will contact the resistance block 311 so that it applies pressure on the gas delivery piston rod 309, thereby driving its piston end to move in the gas delivery cylinder 308 to drive The gas in the gas delivery cylinder 308 is delivered to the gas receiving cylinder 314 through the vent pipe 313. At this time, the gas in the gas receiving cylinder 314 gradually expands and pushes the piston end of the transmission piston rod 315 to move, so that the transmission piston rod 315 drives the multiple movable blocks 319 to move synchronously, thereby driving the crank 318 to tilt and push the extension blocks 317 connected thereto away from each other, so that the extension blocks 317 are unfolded inside the rubber belt 301 and expand, thereby contacting the gaps between the lithium-ion battery cells 103 to form a fixation;

[0052] S3, then drive and start the first cylinder 205 to drive the movable plate 204 to move upward so that the multiple clamping strips 300 clamp the multiple lithium-ion battery cells 103 and move them upward to separate them from the first guide rail 101, and at the same time drive the second guide rail 201 to reset the sliding shoe 202, and then place the two battery protection frames 400 on the limit seat 404 and the clamping claw 405 respectively, and then drive the third cylinder 402 and the fourth cylinder 403 to make the two battery protection frames 400 approach each other to assemble the multiple lithium-ion battery cells 103;

[0053] S4, then open multiple solenoid valves 312 to allow the gas in the gas cylinder 308 to leak out, so that the transmission piston rod 315 is reset and drives the multiple extension blocks 317 to reset, thereby releasing the limit on the gaps between the multiple lithium-ion battery cells 103, and then control the second guide rail 201 to drive the multiple clamping strips 300 away from the lithium-ion battery cells 103, and then open the fourth cylinder 403 to contract so that the limit seat 404 moves down to transport the assembled battery pack out of the base 100.

[0054] In summary, by mechanically clamping and fixing the lithium-ion battery cells, the risk of damage caused by vibration or misoperation during transportation and assembly is reduced. The extension block 317 inside the rubber belt is used to fill the gaps between the cells, which further enhances the structural stability and shock resistance of the battery pack. The extension block 317 is driven to expand to fix the battery cells by pneumatic transmission. This design is both novel and efficient. Pneumatic transmission has the characteristics of fast response, strong force and easy control. The expansion and contraction of the extension block 317 in the rubber belt 301 not only realizes the precise filling of the gaps between the battery cells, but also avoids the pressure concentration problem that may be caused by traditional rigid clamps, protecting the battery cells from damage. By adjusting the expansion and contraction of the cylinder, the assembly and disassembly of the battery protection frame, as well as the overall lifting and transportation of the battery pack, can be easily realized. This design makes the entire process more flexible and can adapt to battery cells and protection frames of different sizes and specifications.
