AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing technologies, battery parts are manually picked up and pressed together in one go by a robotic arm. This results in the battery cover and battery body being subjected to high pressure at the moment of pressurization, causing deformation and jamming, which leads to a high probability of damage and a low processing qualification rate. Furthermore, the impact of pressure fluctuations is not taken into account.

Method used

The cross-rail multi-station battery cover pressing equipment uses a clamping unit to pick up the battery processing parts to the station unit, where they are heated and pressed multiple times. The pressure is controlled by a pressure regulating seat and a sensor to ensure pressure uniformity and avoid pressurization at once. The heating time is adjusted by a temperature monitor to ensure the pressurization effect.

Benefits of technology

This improved the sealing and stability of the battery cover and battery body, reduced the probability of damage to battery components, and increased the product qualification rate.
