[0061] Please refer to Figures 1 to 12 The embodiment of the present application provides a battery production line, which comprises a bending and pressure maintaining device 1; the specific structure of the bending and pressure maintaining device 1 is described in Figures 1 to 6 .

[0062] The bending and pressure maintaining device 1 comprises a supporting seat 11, a rotating pressing block 12 rotatably connected with the supporting seat 11, and a limiting block 13 installed on the supporting seat 11 to limit the rotating pressing block 12; the supporting seat 11 is provided with a positioning groove 1101 for supporting the battery cell group 100, and the positioning groove 1101 can accommodate and position the battery cell group 100; the side wall of the positioning groove 1101 close to the rotating pressing block 12 is open, and the side wall of the positioning groove 1101 close to the rotating pressing block 12 is open, so that the rotating pressing block 12 can press the circuit board assembly 200 towards the battery cell group 100 from the open part. It should be noted that the workpiece to be bent is the assembly of the battery cell group 100, the circuit board assembly 200 and the connecting piece 300, and the connecting piece 300 needs to be bent to make the overall volume smaller.

[0063] The rotating pressing block 12 is provided with a limiting groove 1201 for accommodating the circuit board assembly 200, and the limiting groove 1201 can accommodate and position the circuit board assembly 200; the rotating pressing block 12 is used to drive the circuit board assembly 200 to rotate, so that the connecting piece 300 connected to the circuit board assembly 200 and the battery cell group 100 at both ends is bent into a U shape, and the circuit board assembly 200 is pressed on one end of the battery cell group 100 in the positioning groove 1101; when the circuit board assembly 200 is pressed on one end of the battery cell group 100, the rotating pressing block 12 abuts against the limiting block 13.

[0064] The actual bending process is as follows:

[0065] ① Put the workpiece to be bent, that is, position the battery cell group 100 in the positioning groove 1101, position the circuit board assembly 200 in the limiting groove 1201, and at this time, the connecting sheet 300 is connected between the battery cell group 100 and the circuit board assembly 200, wherein, Figure 2 The position of the bent connecting sheet 300 is particularly reserved to facilitate understanding of the bending step;

[0066] ② Rotate the rotating pressing block 12 to drive the circuit board assembly 200 to rotate relative to the battery cell group 100, so that the circuit board assembly 200 is pressed to the battery cell group 100 at the open end of the positioning groove 1101;

[0067] ③ When the rotating pressing block 12 abuts against the limiting block 13, at this time, the position between the circuit board assembly 200 and the battery cell group 100 is relatively fixed, and the circuit board assembly 200 is attached to the end of the battery cell group 100; the rotating pressing block 12 is kept for a certain period of time, so that the circuit board assembly 200 can maintain the state of being attached to the end of the battery cell group 100, and the pressure maintaining is completed;

[0068] ④ Reverse rotate the rotating pressing block 12 to take out the workpiece after bending and pressure maintaining, and start processing another workpiece to be bent.

[0069] In the above process, through the bending and pressure maintaining device 1, the size consistency of the workpiece to be bent after each bending is improved, and the setting of the bending and pressure maintaining device 1 can make the operation of workers more standardized and convenient, and avoid the occurrence of a twisted structure like a twisted dough in the manual bending process of the connecting sheet 300. It should be noted that the limiting block 13 is provided, which can make the rotating pressing block 12 rotate to the appropriate angle each time, and can effectively avoid the pressure of the circuit board assembly 200 on the rotating pressing block 12 on the battery cell group 100 being too large, thereby comprehensively improving the bending quality and yield of the workpiece to be bent.

[0070] Preferably, the connecting sheet 300 is thin in the middle and thick at both ends, so that it can be bent to form a U-shaped structure more easily.
