Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of batteries, and in particular discloses a lithium battery metal shell packaging device. Background Art

[0002] Lithium batteries consist of battery cells and a metal casing covering them. The metal casing not only provides solid support for the battery cells, but also has multiple functions such as anti-pollution, auxiliary heat dissipation and reduction of electromagnetic interference. It is crucial to the performance of lithium batteries.

[0003] During the process of packaging the shell, the shell is usually divided into two parts, so that the shell can cover and wrap the battery cell from both sides respectively, thus completing the packaging process. For small lithium batteries, the metal shell and the battery cell are often packaged by gluing, which is simple in process and low in cost. The adhesive is usually pre-set on the metal shell, so that during assembly, only the protective layer needs to be torn off to quickly complete the assembly of the shell and the battery cell. However, this assembly method relies heavily on manual operation, and its steps are cumbersome (including taking materials, tearing off the protective layer, moving the shell to both sides of the battery cell and pressing for assembly). The operating parts that can be replaced by the mechanical structure are few and scattered, that is, the existing technology for assembling small lithium batteries has a low degree of mechanization and low assembly efficiency. Therefore, the assembly efficiency needs to be further improved. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0045] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0046] Embodiment: A lithium battery metal shell packaging device, such as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, it includes: a packaging table 101; a feeding tray 102 fixedly mounted on the packaging table 101, the feeding tray 102 is provided with an upper and lower two pieces for feeding the two parts of the shell 002 respectively, and the shell 002 moves back and forth on the feeding tray 102; a suction tray 103 provided on the feeding tray 102 for fixing the shell 002, and the suction tray 103 is provided at the rear of the feeding tray 102; an electric shift rod 104 fixedly mounted on the packaging table 101, the rod end of the electric shift rod 104 is fixed to the suction tray 103, and is used to control the two suction trays 103 to separate and move together; the upper feeding Adsorption holes 105 are provided on the disc 102; an adsorber 106 is fixedly mounted on the upper feed disc 102, and the upper feed disc 102 uses the adsorber 106 and the adsorption holes 105 to adsorb the shell 002, so that the shell 002 can be stably placed on the upper feed disc 102; an electric wheel 107 is fixedly mounted on the feed disc 102, and the electric wheel 107 is used to move the shell 002, the electric wheel 107 on the lower feed disc 102 is arranged on its upper surface, and the electric wheel 107 on the upper feed disc 102 is arranged on its left and right sides to ensure that the shell 002 can be stably adsorbed.

[0047] Two parts of the outer shell 002 are added to the front of the two feed trays 102 respectively. The upper feed tray 102 adsorbs the outer shell 002, and the lower feed tray 102 directly supports the outer shell 002; the electric wheel 107 is started to move the outer shell 002 backward. When the outer shell 002 moves to the rear of the feed tray 102, the electric wheel 107 is closed, and then the suction tray 103 adsorbs and fixes the outer shell 002; then, the battery cell 001 is placed between the two parts of the outer shell 002, and the protective layer on the outer shell 002 is removed, and the electric moving rod 104 is started to control the two suction trays 103 to move closer to each other, and the two parts of the outer shell 002 can be pressed on both sides of the battery cell 001. The glue allows the outer shell 002 to be firmly fixed to the outside of the battery cell 001, thereby completing the packaging of the lithium battery.

[0048] like Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, it also includes: a support frame 201 fixedly mounted on the packaging table 101, the support frame 201 crosses between the two feeding trays 102; a mobile frame 202 slidably mounted on the support frame 201, the mobile frame 202 moves left and right; a mobile rod 203 slidably mounted on the mobile frame 202, the mobile rod 203 is provided with two groups of upper and lower groups; a thorn wheel 204 rotatably mounted on the mobile rod 203, when the thorn wheel 204 contacts the protective layer on the shell 002, the spikes on the thorn wheel 204 will pierce the protective layer, and the rotation of the thorn wheel 204 can peel off the protective layer from the shell 002; 203; a top plate 206 fixedly mounted on the support frame 201, and arc-shaped contact surfaces are provided on the left and right sides of the top plate 206. When the movable frame 202 moves left and right, the movable rod 203 will contact the contact surface of the top plate 206, thereby causing the movable rod 203 to move relative to the movable frame 202, and the position of the top plate 206 corresponds to the position of the feed tray 102; a screw rod 207 rotatably mounted on the support frame 201, and the screw rod 207 is threadedly mounted on the movable frame 202; a first motor 208 fixedly mounted on the support frame 201, and the output end of the first motor 208 is fixedly mounted on the screw 207.

[0049] The first motor 208 controls the movable frame 202 to move left and right through the screw 207. When the lance 204 is moved to the position of the feed tray 102, that is, the outer shell 002, the movable rod 203 contacts the top plate 206, so that the two lances 204 are controlled to move respectively in the direction of the feed tray 102 to which they are close, that is, the upper and lower lances 204 are respectively in contact with the upper and lower outer shells 002, and the thorns of the lance 204 are inserted into the protective layer. Subsequently, as the lance 204 moves, the lance 204 will rotate relative to the outer shell 002, thereby peeling off the protective layer from the outer shell 002; after the lance 204 leaves the range of the feed tray 102, the movable rod 203 disengages from the top plate 206, and the first spring 205 resets, so that the lance 204 moves in the direction away from the outer shell 002. Therefore, by controlling the lance 204 to move up and down, the edge part of the outer shell 002 is bypassed to prevent the lance 204 from damaging the outer shell 002.

[0050] like Figure 1 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, it also includes: a loading frame 302 fixedly mounted on the packaging table 101, and the loading frame 302 is arranged on the left and right sides of the feeding tray 102; a positioning frame 301 fixedly mounted between the two loading frames 302, and the positioning frame 301 is arranged in the middle of the two feeding trays 102; a connecting shaft 303 fixedly mounted on the movable frame 202; a hook frame 304 rotatably mounted on the connecting shaft 303, the hook frame 304 is supported by the loading frame 302, and there are two hook frames 304, which are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the movable frame 202, and the ends of the hook frames 304 are provided with arc-shaped contact surfaces; a positioning block 305 slidably mounted on the positioning frame 301, the positioning block 305 is used to limit the position of the battery cell 001, and the positioning block 305 is provided with an arc-shaped contact surface. When the battery cell 001 moves from the left and right sides of the positioning frame 301 to contact with the positioning block 305, the positioning block 305 will be squeezed by the contact surface to move, and can enter the range restricted by the positioning block 305, and the restriction range is the same as that of the battery cell 001. The position of the feed tray 102 positioning shell 002 corresponds to that of the feed tray 102. When the two parts of the shell 002 are controlled to move closer, the battery cell 001 restricted by the positioning block 305 can be precisely docked with the shell 002 for packaging; a second spring 306 is fixedly installed between the positioning block 305 and the positioning frame 301; a support block 307 is slidably installed on the positioning frame 301. When the battery cell 001 is positioned by the positioning block 305, the battery cell 001 will be supported by the support block 307. The support block 307 is located below the battery cell 001. An arc-shaped contact surface is provided. When the suction plate 103 below moves the shell 002 upward, the shell 002 will contact the contact surface of the support block 307, and move by squeezing the support block 307, and pass through the support block 307; a third spring 308 is fixedly installed between the support block 307 and the positioning frame 301; the one-way wheel 309 installed on the loading frame 302 is rotatable, and the one-way wheel 309 enables the battery cell 001 located on the loading frame 302 to move only in the direction of the positioning frame 301.

[0051] At the same time, the battery cell 001 will be moved by the hook 304, so that the battery cell 001 is moved from the loading frame 302 to the positioning frame 301, and the battery cell 001 is automatically loaded; when the ratchet 204 moves from left to right, the hook 304 on the left side of the ratchet 204 pushes the battery cell 001 on the left loading frame 302 from left to right to the positioning frame 301, and the battery cell 001 contacts the contact surface of the positioning block 305 on the left side and squeezes the positioning block 305 to move, so that the battery cell 001 passes through the positioning block 305 on the left side and moves between all the positioning blocks 305, thereby realizing the positioning of the battery cell 001; in the above-mentioned movement process, the right side of the ratchet 204 The contact surface of the hook 304 in the right position will contact the battery cell 001 on the right loading frame 302. Under the restriction of the one-way wheel 309, the battery cell 001 cannot move freely to the right. Therefore, the hook 304 in the right position is rotated upward and falls above the battery cell 001 until the hook 304 passes over the battery cell 001 and hooks on the right side of the battery cell 001. In this way, when the prong 204 moves from right to left, the battery cell 001 on the right is moved to the positioning frame 301. At the same time, the hook 304 on the left is hooked on the left side of the battery cell 001 on the left. The cycle continues as above. During the reciprocating movement of the prong 204, the battery cell 001 can be continuously loaded to the positioning frame 301.

[0052] like Figure 1 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, it also includes: a connecting frame 401 fixedly mounted on the left and right sides of the two-layer feed tray 102; a cleaning wheel 402 rotatably mounted on the connecting frame 401, and the four cleaning wheels 402 are respectively located on the side of the first and last positions of the moving range of the two prod wheels 204. When the prod wheel 204 stops moving, the thorns of the cleaning wheel 402 will be staggered with the thorns of the prod wheel 204; a second motor 403 fixedly mounted on the connecting frame 401, and the output end of the second motor 403 is fixed to the cleaning wheel 402; a collecting frame 404 fixedly mounted on the connecting frame 401, and the collecting frame 404 is provided with a hook claw that is inserted between the thorns of the cleaning wheel 402. When the cleaning wheel 402 rotates, the hook claw on the collecting frame 404 can detach the protective layer from the cleaning wheel 402, and the collecting frame 404 is detachable.

[0053] After the thorn wheel 204 completely peels off the protective layer, the thorn wheel 204 will move to the side position of the feed tray 102. After the thorn wheel 204 stops moving, the thorns of the thorn wheel 204 and the thorns of the cleaning wheel 402 are staggered. When the second motor 403 is started, the cleaning wheel 402 can be controlled to process the protective layer on the thorn wheel 204, so that the thorn wheel 204 can continue to peel off the protective layer.

[0054] The transport device for transporting the battery cells 001 is set on the sides of the two loading frames 302, and the battery cells 001 are continuously loaded to the loading frames 302 on both sides, and the transport device for transporting the shells 002 is set on the front sides of the two feeding trays 102, and the shells 002 are continuously loaded to the feeding trays 102; after that, the device and the transport device are started to operate, ① the shells 002 are transported to the rear of the feeding trays 102, and then fixed by the suction tray 103, ② the thorn wheel 204 moves from left to right, and while removing the protective layer on the shells 002, the battery cells 001 at the left loading frame 302 are moved to the positioning frame 301, and the battery cells 001 are positioned by the positioning block 305, and ③ the suction tray 103 moves to control the two Part of the shell 002 is brought together, and the shell 002 and the battery cell 001 are pressed and sealed to complete the assembly of the lithium battery, ④ the suction tray 103 is closed, and then the packaged lithium battery can be taken from the feed tray 102 for collection, ⑤ the suction tray 103 moves back to its position, and the lance 204 moves to cooperate with the cleaning wheel 402 on the right, and the second motor 403 is started to control the cleaning wheel 402 to collect the protective layer in the collection frame 404; the above completes a cycle step of the lithium battery packaging processing; and when entering the next cycle of the lithium battery packaging processing, the lance 204 will move from right to left, and move from the battery cell 001 at the right loading frame 302 to the positioning frame 301, and so on.

[0055] Finally, it should be emphasized that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various changes and modifications.
