Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of battery packaging, and in particular to a battery cell top edge sealing, folding and curing device and a processing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Soft-pack lithium-ion batteries are widely used because their shells use relatively thin and soft aluminum-plastic film. Compared with traditional lithium-ion batteries with metal shells, they have advantages such as easy processing and high energy density.

[0003] The aluminum-plastic film used in existing soft-pack lithium-ion battery casings is typically a composite film, comprising an insulating protective layer, a metal layer, and an insulating heat-seal layer, with the metal layer positioned between the insulating protective layer and the insulating heat-seal layer. During the lithium-ion battery packaging process, the lithium-ion battery is first completely encased in the aluminum-plastic film, with the tabs extending from the top seal edge of the lithium-ion battery. The aluminum-plastic film is then heat-sealed, fusing the insulating heat-seal layers of the aluminum-plastic film together to form a sealed edge. The excess sealing edge is then trimmed and the excess aluminum-plastic film removed, resulting in a soft-pack lithium-ion battery cell. This design results in a relatively large overall battery assembly due to the large protruding area of the top seal edge, making it difficult to store and transport the batteries in a centralized manner. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a battery cell top edge sealing folding and curing device and a processing method thereof, thereby saving battery storage space.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: on the one hand, the present invention discloses a battery cell top edge sealing folding and curing device, comprising a machine base, a turntable is rotatably arranged on the machine base, a plurality of positioning jigs are arranged on the turntable, and a loading mechanism, a battery cell pre-folding mechanism, a gluing mechanism and a folding and curing mechanism are sequentially arranged along the rotation direction of the turntable, the battery cell pre-folding mechanism comprises a pre-folding pressing assembly and a pre-folding rotating assembly, the pre-folding pressing assembly comprises a pressing cylinder arranged above the positioning jig and a pre-folding top block connected to the output end of the pressing cylinder, the pre-folding top A pre-folding inclined surface is provided on the outer side of the bottom of the block, and the pre-folding rotating assembly includes a moving module, a rotating drive module connected to the output end of the moving module, and a horizontal rotating block connected to the output end of the rotating drive module. The horizontal rotating block is correspondingly arranged on the front side of the positioning fixture, and the pre-folding top block is used to press down against the top edge of the battery cell, and the horizontal rotating block is used to realize pre-folding by rotating the top edge of the battery cell to fit the pre-folding inclined surface. The gluing mechanism is used to glue the pre-folding groove, and the folding and curing mechanism is used to realize folding and curing of the top edge of the battery cell.

[0006] It can be seen from the above scheme that the feeding mechanism is used to realize the loading of the battery cell, and the battery cell pre-folding mechanism is used to bend the top sealing edge of the battery cell end to complete the pre-folding, so as to facilitate the subsequent gluing after the pre-folding groove is formed, avoid overflow of glue at subsequent workstations, improve the folding and curing quality of the battery cell top sealing edge, and drive the gluing mechanism to dispense glue in the pre-folding groove after pre-folding. The folding and curing mechanism is used to fold the pre-folded top sealing edge toward the end face of the battery cell when performing the glue dispensing and curing action. The folding pressing component and the folding rotating component realize the top sealing of the battery cell through simultaneous action. The pre-folding of the battery cell is carried out, and the downward pressure cylinder is used to drive the pre-folding top block to be pressed down until it contacts the upper surface of the top sealing edge of the battery cell, and the horizontal rotating block is used to rotate the top sealing edge to be close to the pre-folding inclined surface, thereby pressing the top sealing edge from a horizontal state to an inclined state, so that a pre-folding groove is formed on the top sealing edge, thereby completing the pre-folding of the top sealing edge. The present invention folds and glues the top sealing edge of the battery cell to make the packaging size of the battery cell smaller. When the battery cell packaged using the structure of the present invention is stored and transported, the overall structural size of the battery assembly is reduced, the space occupancy is reduced, and the space utilization rate is improved.

[0007] The loading mechanism includes a conveyor belt module and a clamping module arranged above the conveyor belt module. The conveyor belt module is provided with a side push limit assembly, and the side push limit assembly includes a push cylinder, an adjusting block and a side push block. A limit adjustment slot is provided on the adjusting block. The side push block is correspondingly arranged above the conveyor belt module. One side of the side push block is connected to the output end of the push cylinder through the adjusting block, and a fixed stop block is provided on the other side. The fixed stop block is arranged on the outside of the conveyor belt module. An open through slot is provided on the side push block. The clamping module includes a vertical frame, a transverse linear module arranged on the vertical frame, a lifting cylinder connected to the output end of the transverse linear module, and a material picking nozzle connected to the output end of the lifting cylinder. The material picking nozzle is connected to the bottom of the lifting cylinder by installing a limit plate. It can be seen that the conveyor belt module is used to realize the conveying and loading of battery cells, the clamping module is used to clamp the battery cells from the conveyor belt module to the turntable, the measuring and pushing limit module is used, the side walls and top walls of the open slot are used to limit the battery cell products, the material picking nozzle is used to realize the suction and loading of battery cells, the transverse linear module is used to drive the battery cells on the material picking nozzle to move horizontally, and the lifting cylinder is used to drive the battery cells of the material picking nozzle to move up and down to realize material picking and placing.

[0008] The mobile module includes a first linear module and a lifting linear module connected to the output end of the first linear module. The rotation drive module includes a rotation mounting plate, a drive motor connected to the rotation mounting plate, a driving wheel connected to the output end of the drive motor, a driven wheel driven by the driving wheel through a conveyor belt, and a cross frame. The driven wheel is connected to the outside of the cross frame. One side of the horizontal rotating block passes through the side wall of the cross frame and is coaxially connected to the driven wheel. The other side of the horizontal rotating block is connected to the other side wall of the cross frame via a bearing. A clamping block is provided on the horizontal rotating block. It can be seen that the first linear module is used to drive the forward and backward feeding movement, and the lifting linear module is used to drive the horizontal rotating block on the rotation drive module to move up and down. The rotating wheel group drives the driven wheel to rotate through the drive motor, thereby realizing the rotation of the horizontal rotating block.

[0009] The positioning fixture includes a mounting plate, a limit block group arranged on the mounting plate, a mounting seat, an elastic column arranged on the mounting seat, a spring sleeved on the elastic column, and a rotating member rotatably connected to the bottom of the mounting seat. The turntable is provided with a lifting motor under the corresponding lower portion of the rotating member. The output end of the lifting motor is provided with a lifting block. The limit block group includes a fixed limit block and a movable limit block respectively arranged on both sides of the mounting plate. The movable limit block is connected to the mounting seat through a connecting block. The mounting plate is provided with a limit adjustment groove adapted to the connecting block. One end of the elastic column is inserted into the mounting seat and connected to the connecting block, and the other end of the elastic column is sleeved with the spring. It can be seen that the lifting motor is used to lift the rotating member and drive the movable limit block to move away from the battery cell in the limit adjustment groove, thereby releasing the limit on the battery cell and facilitating the removal and placement of the battery cell. The spring sleeved on the elastic column is used to reset the rotating member and facilitate the clamping of the battery cell.

[0010] The folding and curing mechanism includes a curing frame and a UV curing lamp box arranged on the curing frame. The folding and curing mechanism is correspondingly provided with a spreading component and a pushing and folding component. The pushing and folding component is correspondingly arranged on the front side of the spreading component. The pushing and folding component includes a pushing cylinder, a pneumatic clamp connected to the output end of the pushing cylinder, a vertical block connected to the output end of the pneumatic clamp, and a pushing block. The pushing block is fixed on the top of the pneumatic clamp. The pushing block is located between the two groups of vertical blocks. The pneumatic clamp is horizontally arranged. The length of the pushing block is adapted to the length of the top sealing edge of the battery cell. It can be seen that the UV curing lamp box irradiates ultraviolet light downward to cure the glue in the pre-folding groove of the top seal, and the pushing component is used to push away the pole ear at the end of the top seal during curing to avoid obstruction when the glue in the pre-folding groove of the top seal is irradiated and cured. The present invention pre-folds the top seal of the battery cell to form a bent portion and then applies glue in the pre-folding groove. At the same time, the folding and curing mechanism pushes the pre-folded top seal to the end face of the battery cell for curing, thereby realizing the folding and curing packaging of the top seal of the battery cell. The pneumatic clamp drives the vertical blocks on both sides through the opening and closing action to limit and tighten the side edges on both sides of the top seal when the pushing block is pushed. The length of the pushing block is adapted to the length of the top seal of the battery cell, and the pushing cylinder is used to drive the pushing block to advance when curing the glue in the pre-folding groove of the top seal of the battery cell. When curing with light, the inner side surface of the pre-folded top seal is synchronously moved close to the end of the battery cell to achieve close adhesion, thereby completing the folding and curing action.

[0011] The prying assembly includes a mounting frame, a downward-moving cylinder mounted on the mounting frame, a prying cylinder connected to the output end of the downward-moving cylinder, and a lever connected to the output end of the prying cylinder. The lever is connected to the output end of the lever cylinder via a connecting rod. A pressing cylinder is mounted on the mounting frame, and a pressure block is connected to the output end of the pressure cylinder. The pressure block is used to press against the side of the battery cell when prying the tabs apart, and the prying cylinder is used to drive the lever to pry apart the tabs at the end of the battery cell to avoid obstruction when the glue in the pre-folded groove solidifies.

[0012] The battery cell pre-folding mechanism also includes a mounting frame, a first pressing cylinder vertically connected to the mounting frame, a downward pressure adjustment cylinder, a second pressing cylinder horizontally connected to the output end of the downward pressure adjustment cylinder, a first pressing block connected to the output end of the first pressing cylinder, and a second pressing block connected to the output end of the second pressing cylinder. It can be seen that the first pressing cylinder is used to press down and tighten the upper surface of the battery cell through the first pressing block when folding and curing the top edge of the battery cell, and the second pressing cylinder is used to tighten the end of the battery cell through the second pressing block.

[0013] The curing rack is also provided with a blanking assembly, which includes a transverse blanking module, a descending cylinder connected to the output end of the transverse blanking module, a rotating cylinder connected to the output end of the descending cylinder, and a blanking suction nozzle connected to the output end of the rotating cylinder.

[0014] On the other hand, the present invention discloses a processing method for a battery cell top edge sealing folding and curing device, the method comprising the following steps:

[0015] S2. The clamping module clamps and loads the battery cell on the conveyor belt module, places the battery cell on the positioning fixture of the loading station and limits the position so that the top edge of the battery cell is exposed on the turntable;

[0016] S1. The turntable drives the battery cell to rotate to the pre-folding station, and the downward pressure cylinder drives the pre-folding top block to move downward to the top seal of the battery cell. The side wall of the pre-folding top block contacts the end face of the battery cell, and the bottom of the pre-folding top block presses against the upper surface of the top seal of the battery cell. The rotating wheel group drives the horizontal rotating block to rotate. After the horizontal rotating block contacts the top seal of the battery cell, it drives the top seal of the battery cell to press against the pre-folding inclined surface through rotation, and presses the top seal of the battery cell from a horizontal state to an inclined state, so that a pre-folding groove is formed on the top seal of the battery cell, thereby realizing pre-folding of the top seal of the battery cell;

[0017] S3. The turntable drives the battery cell to the gluing station, and the gluing mechanism glues the pre-folded groove on the top sealing edge of the battery cell;

[0018] S4. The turntable drives the battery cell to the folding and curing station. The spreading assembly drives the lever through the spreading cylinder to spread the tabs at the ends of the battery cell outward. The lever spreads the tabs until they are parallel to the battery cell. The UV curing lamp box irradiates the glue in the pre-folded groove on the top seal of the battery cell to cure it.

[0019] S5. When the curing action is performed in S4, the folding assembly is pushed forward and the pushing block is driven by the pushing cylinder to push the pre-folded top sealing edge of the battery cell horizontally, so that the inner side surface of the top sealing edge of the battery cell is tightly fitted with the end face of the battery cell. At this time, the pneumatic clamp drives the vertical block to press and limit the side edges on both sides of the end of the battery cell, thereby completing the folding and curing of the top sealing edge of the battery cell.
