The outer wall sliding sleeve of the rod 205 is provided with a special-shaped frame 206, and the special-shaped frame 206 is fixedly connected to the top of the mold B204. An elastic member A is arranged between the special-shaped rod 205 and the special-shaped frame 206, and the elastic member A is a compression spring. The top of the mold B204 is symmetrically provided with sliding grooves, and the bottom end of the special-shaped rod 205 is inserted into the sliding groove and slides therein. It also includes a limiting mechanism. A limiting mechanism is arranged on the upper side of the mold A203, and the limiting mechanism is used to limit the special-shaped rod 205. The outer mold 207 is symmetrically arranged in the mounting frame 1, and the inner wall of the outer mold 207 is slidably connected with the inner mold 208.

[0021] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the limiting mechanism includes a fixing frame 301, the front side of the mounting frame 1 is symmetrically fixed with the fixing frame 301, a U-shaped frame 302 is horizontally slidably connected inside the fixing frame 301, a wedge block 303 used in conjunction with the U-shaped frame 302 is fixedly connected to one side of the special-shaped rod 205, when the U-shaped frame 302 squeezes the wedge block 303, two adjacent special-shaped rods 205 can be moved closer to each other, an elastic wedge rod 304 is slidably connected inside the special-shaped frame 206, a wedge groove used in conjunction with the elastic wedge rod 304 is provided on the top of the special-shaped rod 205, and the elastic wedge rod 304 can limit the special-shaped rod 205 by being inserted into the wedge groove of the special-shaped rod 205.

[0022] The limiting mechanism also includes a Y-shaped rod 401, which is horizontally slidably connected to the fixed frame 301. The Y-shaped rod 401 can be used in conjunction with the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 201 and the fixed ring 202. A cross bar used in conjunction with the Y-shaped rod 401 is fixedly connected to one side of the elastic wedge-shaped rod 304. When the fixed ring 202 drives the Y-shaped rod 401 to lift upward, the elastic wedge-shaped rod 304 can be disengaged from the wedge-shaped groove of the special-shaped rod 205.

[0023] The forming device is divided into two states according to different battery steel shell diameters. The first state is the small-diameter battery steel shell forming state. Initially, the elastic wedge rod 304 is in a contracted state, the bottom end of the elastic wedge rod 304 is against the top surface of the adjacent special-shaped rod 205, the elastic part A is in a released state, and there is a gap between the Y-shaped rod 401 and the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 201. The hydraulic cylinder 201 is started, the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 201 extends, and drives the fixing ring 202 and the mold A203 to descend. After the mold A203 descends, it contacts and squeezes the battery steel shell blank, thereby producing a small-diameter battery steel shell.

[0024] The second state of the forming device is the large-diameter battery steel shell forming state. When it is necessary to produce a large-diameter battery steel shell, the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 201 is first controlled to shrink and reset, and then the staff pushes the U-shaped frame 302 to move backward through the vertical rod at the bottom of the U-shaped frame 302. The U-shaped frame 302 is forced to slide backward along the fixed frame 301. After the U-shaped frame 302 moves, it squeezes the wedge surfaces of the two wedge blocks 303. The two wedge blocks 303 are forced to move close to each other and drive the corresponding special-shaped rod 205 to move. The special-shaped rod 205 is forced to slide horizontally along the corresponding special-shaped frame 206, and the elastic member A is forced to shrink. Then the wedge groove of the special-shaped rod 205 is aligned with the corresponding elastic wedge rod 304. The elastic wedge rod 304 is released to drive the cross bar on it to slide downward and fall, and is stuck in the wedge groove of the special-shaped rod 205 to press the special-shaped rod 2 05 is limited, after the cross bar of the elastic wedge-shaped rod 304 falls, the bottom surface of the cross bar and the top surface of the Y-shaped rod 401 are in the same horizontal plane, and the elastic member A remains in a contracted state. At this time, the top surfaces of the two adjacent special-shaped rods 205 are in contact with the bottom ends of the corresponding fixing rings 202, and the hydraulic cylinder 201 is started. The telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 201 extends, and the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 201 drives the fixing ring 202 and the mold A203 to fall. The fixing ring 202 squeezes the bottom of the slide groove of the mold B204 through the two special-shaped rods 205, so that the mold B204 is forced to fall downward, and the bottom ends of the molds A203 and B204 are always in the same horizontal plane. After the molds A203 and B204 fall, they contact and squeeze the battery steel shell blank, thereby producing a large-diameter battery steel shell, thereby being able to quickly complete the switching of the forming diameter of the battery steel shell.

[0025] When the forming device needs to be restored from the large-diameter battery steel shell forming state to the small-diameter battery steel shell forming state, the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 201 is controlled to retract and reset, and the hydraulic cylinder 201 drives the fixing ring 202 and the mold A203 to be lifted and reset, and the mold B204 is lifted and reset following the mold A203, and the staff pushes the Y-shaped rod 401 backward through the handle on the Y-shaped rod 401, and the Y-shaped rod 401 slides along the fixing frame 301. After the Y-shaped rod 401 slides, the inclined surface of the Y-shaped rod 401 contacts and squeezes the outer wall of the cross bar of the two elastic wedge-shaped rods 304, and the force belt of the cross bar is The corresponding elastic wedge rod 304 slides upward, and the elastic wedge rod 304 is lifted up and disengaged from the wedge groove of the corresponding special-shaped rod 205. The special-shaped rod 205 can move after being freed from the restriction, and the elastic member A is released to drive the special-shaped rod 205 to slide and reset. After the special-shaped rod 205 is reset, it no longer contacts the bottom end of the fixing ring 202. When the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 201 is extended again, the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 201 drives the fixing ring 202 and the mold A203 to descend downward, thereby completing the switching work of the molding device from the large-diameter battery steel shell molding state to the small-diameter battery steel shell molding state.

[0030] like Fig. 9 As shown, the auxiliary stretching mechanism also includes a friction wheel A902, and the inner walls of the circular ring 701 of the outer mold 207 and the inner mold 208 are symmetrically penetrated with special-shaped grooves B901, and the inner wall of the special-shaped groove B901 close to the inner mold 208 is rotatably connected with the friction wheel A902 and the rotating shaft A903, and is connected with a transmission component A, and the transmission component A consists of a transmission wheel A, a conical disk A and a transmission wheel B, and the transmission wheel A, the conical disk A and the transmission wheel B are all rotatably connected to the inner wall of the special-shaped groove B901, wherein the transmission wheel A is fitted with the outer wall of the corresponding friction wheel A902, the conical disk A is fixed to one side of the transmission wheel A, the transmission wheel B is located on the upper side of the transmission wheel A and is fitted with the outer wall of the conical disk A, the transmission wheel B is fitted with the outer wall of the rotating shaft A903, and the rotating shaft A903 is fitted with the inner wall of the annular groove of the inner mold 208.

[0031] like Fig.10As shown, the auxiliary stretching mechanism also includes a friction wheel B1001, and the inner wall of the special-shaped groove B901 near the outer mold 207 is rotatably connected with the friction wheel B1001 and the rotating shaft B1002, and is connected with a transmission component B, and the transmission component B is composed of a transmission wheel C, a conical disk B and a transmission wheel D, and the transmission wheel C, the conical disk B and the transmission wheel D are all rotatably connected with the inner wall of the special-shaped groove B901, wherein the transmission wheel C is fitted with the outer wall of the corresponding friction wheel B1001, the conical disk B is fixed to one side of the transmission wheel C, the transmission wheel D is located on the upper side of the transmission wheel C and is fitted with the outer wall of the conical disk B, the transmission wheel D is fitted with the outer wall of the rotating shaft B1002, and the rotating shaft B1002 is fitted with the inner wall of the annular groove of the outer mold 207.

[0032] Initially, the elastic member B is in a released state, the bottom surface of the Z-shaped rod 504 contacts the top surfaces of the two adjacent stoppers 505, the stoppers 505 limit the outer mold 207 through the Z-shaped rod 504 and the connection box 506, the outer mold 207 is restricted and cannot fall, the elastic member C and the elastic member D are in a released state, the top of the outer mold 207 and the inner mold 208 are in the same horizontal plane, and the two adjacent fan-shaped blocks 804 face opposite directions. When a small-diameter battery steel shell is stretched and formed, the battery steel shell blank is first placed on the inner mold 208 by a feeding device in the prior art, and the mold A203 contacts and squeezes the battery steel shell blank after it falls. After being squeezed, the battery steel shell blank enters the inner mold 208 and squeezes the elastic telescopic rod 50 2 is squeezed, the telescopic end of the elastic telescopic rod 502 is forced to shrink, and the battery steel shell blank contacts and rubs with the roller A703, roller B801 and the outer wall of the friction wheel A902 close to the inner mold 208, and the roller A703 is forced to rotate with the connection point of the corresponding circular tube 803 as the center. When the roller A703 rotates, it can roll the battery steel shell blank, thereby improving the stretching forming efficiency of the battery steel shell blank, preventing the battery steel shell blank from breaking during stretching, and improving the stretching forming quality of the battery steel shell blank. At the same time, the roller B801 drives the corresponding sector block 804 to rotate through the universal joint 802. When the sector block 804 rotates, the bottom end of the movable pin 805 adjacent to it rotates with the rotation of the sector block 804. It is worth noting that when the top of one of the movable pins 805 is away from the limiting groove of the roller A703, the tops of the two adjacent movable pins 805 are respectively inserted into the limiting grooves of the corresponding roller A703, thereby limiting the roller A703. When the fan-shaped block 804 rotates, the two adjacent movable pins 805 can be staggered and lifted, thereby realizing the staggered limiting of the two adjacent rollers A703. When the roller A703 is limited, the roller A703 can further improve the stretching effect of the outer wall of the battery steel shell by hard friction with the outer wall of the battery steel shell blank. When the roller A703 rotates, the battery steel shell blank can be rolled, and the battery steel shell blank can be staggered by the roller A703. The above two different effects can make the force on the battery steel shell blank more uniform and improve the stretching forming quality of the battery steel shell blank. At the same time, the friction wheel A902 is forced to rotate with the connection point of the corresponding special-shaped groove B901 as the center, and rubs with the transmission wheel A in the transmission assembly A, so that the transmission wheel A drives the conical disk A to rotate. The conical disk A rubs with the inclined surface of the transmission wheel B, so that the transmission wheel B drives the corresponding rotating shaft A903 to rotate. The rotating shaft A903 rubs with the inner wall of the annular groove of the inner mold 208, so that the ring 701 close to the inner mold 208 rotates in the annular groove, thereby enabling the roller A703 to increase the contact area with the battery steel shell blank, thereby further improving the stretching forming quality of the battery steel shell blank.

[0033] When a large-diameter battery steel shell is stretched and formed, the battery steel shell blank is placed on the outer mold 207 by a loading device in the prior art. When the mold A203 and the mold B204 are lowered, the mold B204 drives the two connecting frames 601 to drop downward, the elastic member D is forced to shrink, and the connecting frame 601 drives the extrusion rod 602 to drop downward. Then the extrusion rod 602 contacts and squeezes the inclined surface of the corresponding Z-shaped rod 504. At this time, the two adjacent Z-shaped rods 504 are forced to slide away from each other, the elastic member B is forced to shrink, and the Z-shaped rods 504 are forced to slide away from each other. After 504 slides, the two grooves on it are aligned with the corresponding stopper 505, and the Z-shaped rod 504 can move up and down after being freed from the restriction. The extrusion rod 602 continues to squeeze the Z-shaped rod 504, and the Z-shaped rod 504 is forced to drive the corresponding connecting box 506 to fall, and the connecting box 506 drives the inner mold 208 to slide downward, and the elastic member C is forced to shrink. It is worth noting that the elastic force of the elastic member C is greater than that of the elastic member B. During the process of the Z-shaped rod 504 and the connecting box 506 falling, the elastic member B remains in a contracted state. At the same time, the mold A20 3 and the mold B204 contact and extrude the battery steel shell blank. After being extruded, the battery steel shell blank enters the outer mold 207 and squeezes the telescopic end of the elastic telescopic rod 502. The telescopic end of the elastic telescopic rod 502 is forced to shrink, and the battery steel shell blank contacts and rubs with the outer wall of the roller A703, roller B801 and friction wheel B1001 close to the outer mold 207. After the roller A703 and roller B801 are stressed, the above steps are repeated to achieve the same effect. After the friction wheel B1001 is stressed, it is rotated in a direction corresponding to the special-shaped groove B901. The connection rotates at the center of the circle, and through friction with the transmission wheel C in the transmission assembly B, the transmission wheel C drives the conical disk B to rotate. The conical disk B rubs with the inclined surface of the transmission wheel D, so that the transmission wheel D drives the corresponding rotating shaft B1002 to rotate. The rotating shaft B1002 rubs with the inner wall of the annular groove of the outer mold 207, so that the ring 701 close to the outer mold 207 rotates in the annular groove, thereby enabling the roller A703 to increase the contact area with the battery steel shell blank, thereby further improving the stretching forming quality of the battery steel shell blank.

[0034] When the mold A203 is lifted upward and reset, the telescopic end of the elastic telescopic rod 502 squeezes the outer wall of the battery steel shell through the disc, so that the battery steel shell is lifted upward. When a small-diameter battery steel shell is stretched and formed, the roller A703, roller B801, friction wheel A902 and rotating shaft A903 rotate in the opposite direction of the above steps under the friction of the outer wall of the battery steel shell and achieve the same effect. It is worth noting that due to the large elastic force of the telescopic end of the elastic telescopic rod 502, when the roller A703 stops rotating, the telescopic end of the elastic telescopic rod 502 can still drive the battery steel shell to lift upward through the disc.

[0035] When forming a large-diameter battery steel shell, roller A703, roller B801, friction wheel B1001 and rotating shaft B1002 rotate in the opposite direction of the above steps under the friction of the outer wall of the battery steel shell and achieve the same effect.

[0036] When the mold B204 is lifted upward, the mold B204 drives the two extrusion rods 602 to be lifted upward through the two connecting frames 601, and the elastic parts C and D are gradually released. Then, the two grooves of the Z-shaped rod 504 pass over the corresponding blocks 505, and the elastic part C is completely released. The two extrusion rods 602 continue to be lifted upward and move away from the corresponding Z-shaped rods 504. The Z-shaped rod 504 can move after being freed from the restriction. The elastic part B is released to drive the Z-shaped rod 504 to slide horizontally and reset. The telescopic end of the elastic telescopic rod 502 is released and reset, and then the battery steel shell can be taken out through the unloading mechanism in the prior art.

[0037] A forming process of a cylindrical battery steel shell continuous stretching forming device includes the following steps: S1: Start the hydraulic cylinder 201, and the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 201 drives the fixed ring 202 and the mold A203 to descend, and perform stretching forming of a small-diameter battery steel shell; S2: When it is necessary to switch to the stretch forming of the battery steel shell with a small diameter, the staff pushes the U-shaped frame 302 through the vertical rod at the bottom of the U-shaped frame 302. When the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 201 is extended again, the fixed ring 202 squeezes the special-shaped rod 205, so that the mold A203 and the mold B204 fall synchronously; S3: When the battery steel shell is stretched and formed, the outer wall of the battery steel shell is rolled by roller A703, and the roller A703 is limited by the cooperation of the fan-shaped block 804 and the movable pin 805, thereby improving the stretching effect on the outer wall of the battery steel shell.
