[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0017] (1) The square aluminum shell battery pack laser welding equipment described in the present invention has a pressing mechanism on the clamping mechanism. Before placing the battery in the clamping mechanism, the pressing mechanism is lifted to facilitate the entry of the battery. The placed battery connecting pieces are matched with the pressing mechanism. After releasing the pressing mechanism, multiple groups of connecting pieces can be clamped at the same time, and the welding of the connecting pieces by the welding mechanism will not be affected during the clamping, so as to avoid the welding position being inaccurate; that is, after the battery is transported to the surface of the workbench by the screw rod and the slider, the cylinder is started, and the clamping plate moves in the direction of the baffle. At this time, the battery is clamped between the clamping plate and the baffle to avoid the battery from being offset during welding and affecting the welding. When the battery is close to the surface of the workbench, the handle is pulled away from the surface of the workbench, so as to achieve the third The spring contracts, and the gap between the connecting rod, the pressing tube and the surface of the workbench becomes larger. At this time, observe whether the battery is in place. When the battery is in place, release the handle to open the third spring, then the slide moves toward the direction of the workbench, and the connecting rod drives the two sets of pressing tubes to move toward the groove on the connecting piece on the battery. When the third spring is fully reset, the pressing tube presses the connecting piece on the battery, thereby pressing the connecting pieces between multiple batteries at the same time, avoiding the offset of the connecting pieces during welding and causing inaccurate welding. Then, the distance between the two relative pressing tubes can be adjusted according to the distance between the two relative connecting pieces. When adjusting, just pull the pressing tube, and the convex column will jump and buckle inside the buckle groove to complete the adjustment of the pressing tube. When taking out the battery, just pull the handle, and turn the crank in the opposite direction to lower the battery.

[0018] (2) The square aluminum shell battery pack laser welding equipment described in the present invention can release the pressing mechanism when pressing the battery connecting piece. After the pressing mechanism is released, the protective mechanism is pressed. At this time, the pressing mechanism supports the electrode pieces at both ends of the battery to prevent the protruding electrode pieces of the battery from shaking and falling, which is beneficial to the welding of the electrode pieces; that is, after the battery is clamped by the clamping plate and the baffle, the third spring is in a contracted state, that is, the pressure rod is in a reset state, then when the pressure rod is reset, the pressure tube presses the battery connecting piece. The pressure rod further presses the seesaw. Due to the rotational connection between the seesaw and the baffle, it is more like a lever principle. The other end of the seesaw lifts the protective plate on the side of the baffle, and the second spring opens. When the protective plate is flush with the top of the baffle, the protruding part of the electrode sheet of the battery is supported to prevent the electrode sheet from falling when the battery is moved, which is beneficial to the welding of the battery. When the handle is pulled, the pressure rod is separated from the seesaw, the second spring contracts, and the protective plate is reset. The electrode sheet part of the battery is pushed out of the baffle, and the battery can be taken out by the screw rod and the slider.

[0019] (3) The square aluminum shell battery pack laser welding equipment described in the present invention has a loading mechanism on the workbench. When placing the battery, the battery is moved to the loading mechanism through the auxiliary mechanism, and the battery is lifted to the placement mechanism through the loading mechanism, which is more labor-saving and beneficial to the protection of the battery body; that is, when placing the battery, after a plurality of batteries are fixed by a fixed shell, the battery is placed on the guide plate, and a plurality of rollers are provided on the guide plate, which is beneficial to pushing the battery. When the battery is pushed onto the placement plate, the battery is located at the bottom of the placement slot. The crank is further turned to realize the rotation of the rotating rod, and the rotation of the rotating rod drives the battery to rotate. The second gear rotates, and since the first gear is meshed with the second gear, the first gear is driven to rotate in a horizontal circular direction when the rotating rod rotates. After the first gear is driven, the screw rod drives the slider to move on the fixed plate. When the limit plate conflicts with the bottom of the workbench, the placement plate is flush with the surface of the workbench. At this time, the placement plate is located inside the placement groove, and the battery is lifted. At this time, the battery is located between the baffle and the clamping plate. Placing the battery on the workbench according to this method is more labor-saving and safer, and the battery vibration can be avoided. The placed electrode sheets and connecting sheets can be prevented from falling off. After welding, the placement plate can be lowered by rotating the crank in the opposite direction, which is conducive to removing the battery. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

At this time, observe whether the battery is in place. When the battery is in place, release the handle 707 to open the third spring 703, and then the slide 702 moves toward the direction of the workbench 1. , the connecting rod 704 drives the two groups of pressing tubes 706 to move toward the groove on the connecting piece on the battery.

Since the seesaw 601 is rotatably connected to the baffle 304, more in accordance with the lever principle, the other end of the seesaw 601 lifts the protective plate 603 on the side of the baffle 304, and the second spring 606 is opened. When the protective plate 603 is flush with the top of the baffle 304, the protruding part of the electrode sheet of the battery is supported to prevent the electrode sheet from falling when the battery is moved, which is beneficial to the welding of the battery. When the handle 707 is pulled, the pressure rod 607 is separated from the seesaw 601, the second spring 606 contracts, the protective plate 603 is reset, and the electrode sheet part of the battery is pushed out of the baffle 304, so that the battery can be taken out by the screw rod 403 cooperating with the slider 409.

[0035] Specifically, the feeding mechanism 4 includes a fixed plate 402, the workbench 1 is fixedly connected with a fixed plate 402 whose side is flush with the placement groove 303, the side of the fixed plate 402 is fixedly connected with a support plate 404, the internal rotation of the fixed plate 402 is connected with a screw rod 403, the fixed plate 402 is slidably connected with a slider 409, the slider 409 is threadedly connected to the screw rod 403, the side wall of the slider 409 is fixedly connected with a placement plate 406, the placement plate 406 is arranged corresponding to the placement groove 303, the side wall of the placement plate 406 is fixedly connected with a limiting plate 407, the thickness of the placement plate 406 is equal to the thickness of the placement groove 303, the support The plate 404 is rotatably connected to a rotating rod 408, the end of which is fixedly connected to a second gear 411, the bottom of the screw rod 403 is fixedly connected to a first gear 410, the first gear 410 is meshed with the second gear 411, the end of the rotating rod 408 is installed with a crank 405, the feeding mechanism 4 also includes a side plate 401, the two sides of the fixed plate 402 are fixedly connected to the side plates 401, the side plates 401 are fixedly connected to the workbench 1, the auxiliary mechanism 5 includes a guide plate 501, the support plate 404 is fixedly connected to the guide plate 501, and the guide plate 501 is rotatably connected to multiple rollers 502 that are flush with the surface of the placement plate 406 at equal intervals.

The batteries are pushed onto the placement plate 406. At this time, the batteries are located at the bottom of the placement groove 303. The crank 405 is further rotated to realize the rotation of the rotating rod 408. When the rotating rod 408 rotates, the second gear 411 is driven to rotate. Since the first gear 410 is meshed with the second gear 411, the first gear 410 is driven to rotate in the horizontal circumferential direction when the rotating rod 408 rotates. When the first gear 410 is engaged with the second gear 411, the first gear 410 is driven to rotate in the horizontal circumferential direction when the rotating rod 408 rotates. After a gear 410 is driven, the screw rod 403 drives the slider 409 to move on the fixed plate 402.

An air duct 209 is fixedly connected to the fixing seat 206. When welding the battery, the motor 210 can be used to control the screw 205 to drive the middle plate 202 to move. Similarly, the motor 210 can be used to control the screw 205 to drive the top plate 203 to slide. The motor 210 can be used to control the screw 205 to drive the slide plate 204 to move. In this way, the multi-axis movement of the welding machine 207 is realized to complete the welding of the battery. During welding, the welding machine 207 contacts the connecting piece, and the first spring 208 contracts to achieve pressure protection for the connecting piece.

[0037] When the present invention is used, first, when placing the battery, after fixing the multiple batteries by the fixing shell, the battery is placed on the guide plate 501, and the guide plate 501 is provided with multiple rollers 502, which are conducive to pushing the battery, and the battery is pushed to the placement plate 406. At this time, the battery is located at the bottom of the placement groove 303. The crank 405 is further rotated to realize the rotation of the rotating rod 408. When the rotating rod 408 rotates, the second gear 411 is driven to rotate. Since the first gear 410 is meshed with the second gear 411, when the rotating rod 408 rotates, the first gear 410 is driven in the horizontal circumferential direction. Rotate, when the first gear 410 is driven, the screw rod 403 drives the slider 409 to move on the fixed plate 402, and when the limit plate 407 conflicts with the bottom of the workbench 1, the placement plate 406 is flush with the surface of the workbench 1. At this time, the placement plate 406 is located inside the placement groove 303, and the battery is lifted. At this time, the battery is located between the baffle 304 and the clamping plate 302. Placing the battery on the workbench 1 according to this method is more labor-saving and safe, and the battery vibration can be avoided. The electrode sheet and the connecting sheet that have been placed can be prevented from falling off. After the welding is completed, the crank 405 can be turned in the opposite direction to realize the lowering of the placement plate 406, which is convenient for removing the battery;

[0038] Then, after the battery is transported to the surface of the workbench 1 through the screw rod 403 and the slider 409, the cylinder 301 is started, and the clamping plate 302 moves in the direction of the baffle 304. At this time, the battery is clamped between the clamping plate 302 and the baffle 304 to prevent the battery from shifting during welding and affecting the welding. When the battery is close to the surface of the workbench 1, the handle 707 is pulled away from the surface of the workbench 1, so that the third spring 703 contracts and the gap between the connecting rod 704, the pressure tube 706 and the surface of the workbench 1 becomes larger. At this time, observe whether the battery is in place. When the battery is in place, release the handle 707 to open the third spring 703, and then the slide 702 moves to the workbench 1. The connecting rod 704 drives the two groups of pressing tubes 706 to move toward the groove on the connecting piece on the battery. When the third spring 703 is fully reset, the pressing tube 706 presses the connecting piece on the battery, thereby pressing the connecting pieces between multiple batteries at the same time, thereby avoiding the connection pieces from being offset during welding and causing inaccurate welding. The distance between the two relative pressing tubes 706 can be adjusted according to the distance between the two relative connecting pieces. When adjusting, the pressing tube 706 can be directly pulled. The protruding column 710 jumps and buckles inside the buckle groove 711 to complete the adjustment of the pressing tube 706. When taking out the battery, the handle 707 can be pulled, and the crank 405 can be turned in the opposite direction to lower the battery.

[0039] Then, after the battery is clamped by the clamping plate 302 and the baffle 304, the third spring 703 is in a contracted state, that is, the pressure rod 607 is in a reset state. Then, when the pressure rod 607 is reset, the pressure tube 706 presses the connecting piece of the battery, and the pressure rod 607 further presses the seesaw 601. Due to the rotational connection between the seesaw 601 and the baffle 304, more in accordance with the lever principle, the other end of the seesaw 601 lifts the protective plate 603 on the side of the baffle 304, and the second spring 606 opens. When the protective plate 603 is flush with the top of the baffle 304, the protruding part of the electrode sheet of the battery is supported to prevent the electrode sheet from falling when the battery is moved, which is beneficial to the welding of the battery. When the handle 707 is pulled, the pressure rod 607 is separated from the seesaw 601, the second spring 606 contracts, the protective plate 603 is reset, and the electrode sheet of the battery is partially pushed out of the baffle 304, so that the battery can be taken out by the screw rod 403 cooperating with the slider 409.

[0040] Finally, when welding the battery, the motor 210 can be used to control the screw 205 to drive the middle plate 202 to move. Similarly, the motor 210 can be used to control the screw 205 to drive the top plate 203 to slide. The motor 210 can be used to control the screw 205 to drive the slide plate 204 to move. In this way, the multi-axis movement of the welding machine 207 is realized to complete the welding of the battery. During welding, the welding machine 207 contacts the connecting piece, and the first spring 208 contracts to achieve pressure protection for the connecting piece.
