Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of energy storage battery cell assembly, and particularly to an energy storage battery cell assembly process and its device. Background Art
[0002] As a key part of the energy storage system, energy storage battery cells come in a wide variety, and each type has its unique application scenarios and performance characteristics. The following is a detailed introduction to energy storage battery cells: Classification of battery cells: Nickel-based batteries: Such as nickel-metal hydride batteries, which are known for their high energy density, rapid charge and discharge, light weight, long life, and environmental friendliness. However, they have problems such as slight memory effect and management difficulty.
[0003] Flow batteries: Suitable for fixed large-scale energy storage applications, with power and energy storage capacity that can be independently designed, high efficiency, long life, deep discharge ability, and environmental friendliness, and flexible layout. However, their energy density is relatively low.
[0004] Sodium-sulfur batteries: Secondary batteries with metallic sodium as the negative electrode and sulfur as the positive electrode, which have advantages such as high specific energy and no self-discharge phenomenon. However, attention should be paid to their safety in practical applications.
[0005] Development trend of energy storage battery cells: With the continuous progress of technology and the continuous development of the market, the capacity and performance of energy storage battery cells are constantly improving. For example, the 280Ah large single energy storage battery cell launched by CATL has become an object for many battery cell enterprises to imitate, opening the era of 280Ah energy storage battery cells. Subsequently, large-capacity battery cells such as 314Ah have gradually become the industry's first choice.
[0006] After multiple groups of battery cells for energy storage are arranged in an alternating positive and negative electrode manner, the positive electrode cover plate is connected to the positive electrode of the battery cell by laser ring welding, and the negative electrode cover plate also needs to be connected to the negative electrode of the battery cell by laser ring welding. After welding, the welded battery cell group is placed in the shell for wiring, thus completing the assembly.
[0007] In the prior art, a Chinese invention patent with the authorization announcement number CN114464868B specifically relates to an automatic assembly station for new energy lithium battery cells; the battery cells are placed on the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt. When the battery cells are conveyed to the first robotic arm and the second robotic arm, after the positive and negative poles of the battery cells are identified by the camera assembly, the electric gripper is activated to clamp the battery cells, and then, according to the image information identified by the camera assembly, it is judged whether it is necessary to activate the second rotating assembly to adjust the positive and negative pole directions of the battery cells. After that, the first rotating assembly is activated to rotate the lifting arm to the upper part of the assembly frame, and then the battery cells are placed in the corresponding placement slots. Through the mutual cooperation of the camera assembly, the first rotating assembly and the second rotating assembly, multiple battery cells are arranged in the assembly frame in a staggered manner of positive and negative poles, which has a higher working efficiency compared with the traditional manual arrangement method.
