This welding method can effectively avoid damage to the internal structure of the battery cell, while ensuring the reliability and conductivity of the connection. During the spot welding process, the spot welding machine is started to press the electrode on the tab and the battery electrode according to the preset pressure and position.

The position and thickness of the connecting piece 15 are monitored by the pressure monitoring component 7 to realize the thickness monitoring of the connecting piece 15. At the same time, the forward direction of the spot welding head 16 is determined by monitoring the position of the connecting piece 15 by the pressure monitoring component 7. The controller predicts the thickness range of the connecting piece 15 according to the number signal of the battery core 14. If the thickness of the placed connecting piece 15 does not meet the standard, a warning is required; An operating component 6 and an adjusting component 8, wherein the operating component 6 is arranged in the rotating component 5, and the adjusting component 8 is arranged on the top of the pressure monitoring component 7. The monitoring angle of the pressure monitoring component 7 is adjusted by the operating component 6, so that the pressure monitoring component 7 can monitor the forward direction of the spot welding head 16. The vertical movement of the pressure monitoring component 7 is adjusted by the adjusting component 8, so that the pressure monitoring component 7 can monitor the position and thickness of the connecting piece 15.
[0019] The placement component 2 includes a placement table 21 fixed on the surface of the workbench 11, and a limit plate 22 is fixed on the inner wall of the placement table 21. The lower end of the battery cell 14 is inserted into the inside of the limit plate 22, and the bottom of the battery cell 14 is pressed against the surface of the lifting plate 23. A spring 24 is fixed to the bottom of the lifting plate 23, and the bottom of the spring 24 is fixed to the inner wall of the placement table 21, so as to monitor the weight of the battery cell 14 and judge the number of the battery cell 14 according to the weight of the battery cell 14, so as to achieve the purpose of monitoring the number of the battery cell 14.
[0020] The weight monitoring component 3 includes a movable plate 31 fixed to the bottom of the lifting plate 23, a pressing plate 32 is fixed to one side of the surface of the movable plate 31, and the pressing plate 32 presses on the surface of the gear switch plate 34, the gear switch plate 34 is fixed to the surface of the fixed plate 33, and the fixed plate 33 is fixed to the inner wall of the placement table 21, and the downward position of the lifting plate 23 is monitored by the signal of the pressing plate 32 pressing against the gear switch plate 34, so as to facilitate the judgment of the weight of the battery cell 14, and transmit the monitoring signal to the controller, so that the controller can judge the required thickness of the connecting piece 15 according to the number of the battery cell 14, so as to facilitate the controller to monitor the thickness range of the connecting piece 15, and reduce the phenomenon that the number of the battery cell 14 and the thickness of the connecting piece 15 do not match.
[0021] A pressure plate 2 35 is fixed on the other side of the surface of the movable plate 31, and the pressure plate 2 35 presses on the surface of the gear switch plate 2 37, the gear switch plate 2 37 is fixed on the surface of the fixed plate 2 36, and the fixed plate 2 36 is fixed on the inner wall of the placement table 21. The more the number of battery cells 14 is, the thicker the thickness of the connecting piece 15 required is, the thicker the connecting piece 15 is, the higher the required heating temperature is. By pressing the pressure plate 2 35 against the gear switch plate 2 37, switching of multiple groups of heating temperatures is realized, which is convenient for adjusting the heating temperature of the spot welding head 16 according to the thickness of the connecting piece 15.
[0022] The battery cells 14 are put into the limiting plate 22 in sequence. The more battery cells 14 are put in, the greater the pressure of the battery cells 14 on the lifting plate 23, and the greater the descending distance of the lifting plate 23. When the lifting plate 23 moves down, it drives the movable plate 31 to move down synchronously. At this time, the spring 1 24 is in a compressed and force-accumulating state. The movable plate 31 moves downward and drives the pressing plate 1 32 and the pressing plate 2 35 to move downward synchronously. When the pressing plate 1 32 moves downward, the position where the pressing plate 1 32 presses on the surface of the gear switch plate 1 34 changes, so as to realize the weight monitoring of the battery cells 14. The number of battery cells 14 is judged according to the weight value of the battery cells 14. The more battery cells 14 are, the greater the weight is. According to the position of the pressing plate 1 32 at The number of battery cells 14 is determined by the pressing position on the surface of the gear switch plate 1 34. After receiving the number signal of the battery cells 14, the controller adjusts the monitoring range of the thickness of the connecting piece 15 to be spot welded according to the number signal of the battery cells 14. When the pressing plate 2 35 moves downward, the position at which the pressing plate 2 35 presses on the surface of the gear switch plate 2 37 changes, thereby controlling the heating temperature of the spot welding head 16. The surface of the gear switch plate 2 37 is sequentially distributed as the first gear, the second gear and the third gear from top to bottom. The first gear controls a slightly lower temperature, the second gear controls a medium temperature, and the third gear controls a slightly higher temperature. This facilitates adjusting the heating temperature of the spot welding head 16 according to the thickness of the connecting piece 15, reduces the operation of manual temperature adjustment, and is more intelligent.
[0023] The position monitoring component 4 includes a connecting plate 41 fixed on the surface of the working frame 12, and a push switch 42 is fixed on the surface of the connecting plate 41, and a pressing block 43 is pressed on the surface of the press switch 42, and the pressing block 43 is fixed on the surface of the moving frame 13. The interval position of the press switch 42 is the same as the interval of the socket on the surface of the limit plate 22. When the pressing block 43 moves one grid following the moving frame 13, the pressing block 43 presses the adjacent press switch 42, and the controller receives a signal that the moving frame 13 has moved a group of positions.
[0024] The rotating assembly 5 includes a fixed ring 51 fixed on the surface of the spot welding head 16, and the inner wall of the fixed ring 51 is rotatably connected to a rotating ring 57, a gear ring 52 is fixed to the bottom of the fixed ring 51, and a rotating gear 53 is meshed on the side of the gear ring 52, and a support frame 54 is fixed to the surface of the rotating ring 57. The rotating gear 53 is arranged above the support frame 54, and the bottom of the rotating gear 53 is connected to the motor 56 through the operating assembly 6. The operation of the motor 56 can indirectly drive the rotating gear 53 to rotate, which is convenient for the angle adjustment of the pressure monitoring component 7, thereby facilitating the pressure monitoring component 7 to detect the forward direction of the spot welding head 16.
[0025] A fixing frame 55 is fixed to the outer wall of the fixing ring 51, a rotating rod 58 is fixed to the center of the rotating gear 53, and the top of the rotating rod 58 is slidably connected to the inside of the fixing frame 55. The rotating rod 58 is slidably connected to the inside of the fixing frame 55, and the rotating rod 58 is limited by the fixing frame 55, so that the rotation of the rotating rod 58 is more stable.
[0026] The operating component 6 includes a metal sheet 61 fixed at the bottom of the rotating gear 53, and an electromagnet 62 is arranged at the bottom of the metal sheet 61, the electromagnet 62 is fixed on the rotating rod 63, the rotating rod 63 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 56, and the electromagnet 62 is wrapped inside the metal sheet 61 to achieve limited alignment between the metal sheet 61 and the electromagnet 62, thereby avoiding interlacing between the electromagnet 62 and the metal sheet 61.
[0027] When the pressure monitoring component 7 cannot monitor the next set of connecting plates 15, the controller controls the electromagnet 62 to be energized. After the electromagnet 62 is energized, the electromagnet 62 generates magnetism, and the electromagnet 62 and the metal sheet 61 are adsorbed and fixed to each other. The controller controls the motor 56 to work. The motor 56 rotates forward to drive the rotating rod 2 63 to rotate synchronously. The rotating rod 2 63 drives the electromagnet 62 to rotate synchronously. The electromagnet 62 drives the metal sheet 61 to rotate synchronously. The metal sheet 61 drives the rotating gear 53 to rotate synchronously. The rotating gear 53 rotates, and the fixed ring 51 is fixedly connected to the gear ring 52. Under the action of the gear ring 52, the rotating gear 53 rotates around the gear ring 52. The rotating gear 53 drives the support frame 54 to rotate synchronously through the metal sheet 61. The support frame 54 drives the rotating ring 57 to rotate synchronously. The rotating ring 57 rotates below the gear ring 52. When the rotating gear 53 rotates clockwise around the gear ring 52 for nine seconds, the rotating gear 53 rotates clockwise around the gear ring 52 for nine seconds. After ten degrees, the motor 56 stops rotating forward. At this time, the pressure monitoring component 7 monitors whether the next group of connecting pieces 15 can be identified. If the pressure monitoring component 7 detects the next group of connecting pieces 15, the signal is transmitted to the controller, and the controller controls the spot welding head 16 to change the forward direction, and the movable frame 13 drives the spot welding head 16 to move forward one grid, and the forward position of the movable frame 13 is monitored by the position monitoring component 4. When the movable frame 13 moves forward one grid, the pressure monitoring component 7 continues to work. If the next group of connecting pieces 15 is not detected, the electromagnet 62 is energized to drive the pressure monitoring component 7 to continue to rotate clockwise by ninety degrees, so as to realize the advance monitoring of the position of the connecting piece 15 and judge the forward direction of the spot welding head 16. If the pressure monitoring component 7 does not detect the next group of connecting pieces 15, it is judged that the spot welding work of the connecting piece 15 has been completed, and the spot welding head 16 can stop moving forward, which is convenient for monitoring the spot welding direction of single-row and double-row battery packs.
[0028] The pressure monitoring member 7 includes a pressure seat 75 arranged above the connecting piece 15, and a moving ring 74 is fixed on the top of the pressure seat 75, a plug rod 1 72 is inserted inside the pressure seat 75, a spring 2 73 is fixed on the top of the moving ring 74, and the spring 2 73 is connected to the pressure sensor 71. During the operation of the pressure seat 75, the pressure sensor 71 moves downward to drive the pressure seat 75 to move downward synchronously, and the pressure seat 75 presses on the surface of the connecting piece 15, and the pressure seat 75 moves upward to drive the moving ring 74 to move upward synchronously. The outer wall of the insertion rod 1 72 moves, and the moving ring 74 squeezes the spring 2 73. The spring 2 73 is in a compressed and force-storing state. At the same time, the spring 2 73 presses the pressure sensor 71. The pressure sensor 71 indirectly monitors the pressure of the pressing seat 75. The thickness of the connecting piece 15 is determined according to the squeezing force of the connecting piece 15 on the pressing seat 75. The thicker the connecting piece 15 is, the greater the squeezing force of the connecting piece 15 on the pressing seat 75 is. The pressure sensor 71 indirectly monitors the pressure, and the thickness of the connecting piece 15 can be determined according to the pressure monitoring. When the pressure sensor 71 is initially working, the number of the battery cells 14 is determined based on the weight monitored by the weight monitoring component 3. When the number of battery cells 14 is large, in order to allow a large current to pass through, the thickness of the connecting piece 15 to be spot-welded also needs to be increased. After the controller receives the number signal of the battery cells 14, it needs to make a basic judgment on the thickness of the connecting piece 15. When the pressure seat 75 indirectly monitors that the thickness of the connecting piece 15 does not reach the spot welding standard range, the controller controls the alarm to work to remind the staff to replace the appropriate thickness. When the number of battery cells 14 is large, the impact of the internal resistance on the performance of the battery pack will be amplified. The thicker connecting piece 15 can reduce the internal resistance of the battery to a certain extent. Moreover, when the number of battery cells 14 in the battery pack is large, the mutual influence between the battery cells 14 will also increase. When the battery cells 14 with thicker connecting pieces 15 face abnormal conditions such as overcharging, over-discharging, short circuit, etc., their internal buffering capacity is relatively strong. At the same time, the spot welding pressure required for the spot welding head 16 to work is determined based on the thickness of the connecting piece 15 monitored by the pressure seat 75, and the controller adjusts the spot welding pressure of the spot welding head 16 according to the thickness of the connecting piece 15. When the connecting piece 15 is thicker, the current needs to penetrate thicker materials to make the welding part reach the melting temperature. If the pressure is insufficient, the contact resistance between the connecting piece 15 and the pole ear of the battery cell 14 will increase, resulting in uneven heat distribution in the welding area. The thicker connecting piece 15 itself has a relatively large heat capacity and will absorb more heat during the spot welding process. In order to enable the welding area to accumulate enough heat to melt the metal, greater pressure needs to be applied to ensure good heat conduction. If the pressure is insufficient, the heat generated by the welding will be quickly absorbed and dispersed by the thick electrode sheet, making it difficult for the metal at the welding point to reach the melting point, thereby affecting the welding quality. Moreover, during the welding process, in order to maintain the stability of the shape of the thicker electrode sheet and avoid deformation under the action of pressure and current, greater pressure is also required.

The outer sleeve of the pressure sensor 71 is provided with a protective barrel 85, and the top of the protective barrel 85 is fixed to the motor 56. The pressure sensor 71 is shielded and protected by the protective barrel 85, and the pressure sensor 71 is limited. When the motor 56 rotates forward, it drives the screw 82 to rotate forward, and the screw 82 rotates forward, so that the threaded barrel 81 is lowered. The threaded tube 81 drives the pressure sensor 71 to move downward synchronously, the pressure sensor 71 drives the insert tube 83 to move downward, the second insert rod 84 slides inside the insert tube 83, and the vertical movement of the pressure sensor 71 is limited by the second insert rod 84 and the insert tube 83, so that the movement of the pressure sensor 71 is more stable, and the downward movement of the pressure sensor 71 drives the pressure seat 75 to move downward synchronously, and the downward movement operation of the pressure seat 75 is realized through the forward rotation operation of the screw rod 82, so that the pressure seat 75 can monitor the thickness of the connecting piece 15. When the rotating ring 57 is reversed, it drives the screw rod 82 to reverse, so that the pressure seat 75 moves up, realizing the reset operation of the pressure sensor 71, which is convenient for the position monitoring of the next group of battery core components 14.
