Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of soft-pack battery processing, and particularly relates to a soft-pack battery tab welding device. Background Art

[0002] With the in-depth development of the new energy industry towards the directions of intelligence and scale, the penetration rate of soft-pack batteries in the fields of power and energy storage has been continuously increasing due to their flexible packaging advantages. The welding process between the tabs and the battery cells is facing double technical challenges of production capacity upgrade and quality control. As the electrical connection hub between the internal electrodes of the battery cell and the external circuit, the tabs have been preliminarily assembled with the soft-pack battery cells by welding. At the microscale where the tab thickness is as thin as 10 - 30 μm, the welding process poses harsh requirements on the positioning accuracy and operation consistency. The traditional operation mode involving manual participation has become the core bottleneck restricting the welding quality of the battery cells and industrial upgrading.

[0003] In the current welding process of the tabs and the battery cells, the manual operation mode exposes significant defects in the flexible production scenario of soft-pack batteries: on the one hand, affected by physiological fatigue during manual operation, when continuously operating for 8 hours, the stability of controlling the position deviation between the tabs and the battery cell electrodes is insufficient, resulting in the welding deviation rate increasing from 3% to 15%. The measured data of a certain battery cell factory shows that in the welding batches involving manual participation, the problem of false soldering caused by positioning deviation accounts for 42% of the total quality defects of the battery cells, directly affecting the electrical conductivity of the battery cells.

[0004] On the other hand, the efficiency ceiling of manual operation is obvious. The single-station production capacity of skilled workers is about 30 - 40 pcs / h, only 1 / 5 - 1 / 3 of that of an automated production line, and it is difficult to meet the production capacity requirements of soft-pack batteries. More critically, manual operation cannot avoid the potential damage of human static electricity to the connection interface between the tabs and the battery cells, as well as the pollution of the welding interface by pollutants such as sweat and dandruff. These hidden factors will cause the welding strength of the battery cells to decay by 10% - 15% after long-term cycling, seriously affecting the service life of the battery cells and the overall performance of the soft-pack batteries.

[0025] To better understand the present invention, the content of the present invention will be further clarified below in conjunction with embodiments, but the content of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0026] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a soft-pack battery tab welding device has a fixed frame 1 that can play a supporting role. In the length direction of the fixed frame 1, a conveyor assembly 3 and a welding assembly 5 are arranged in sequence. Particularly importantly, an auxiliary welding assembly 2 and a guide welding assembly 6 are assembled above the conveyor assembly 3, and these two major assemblies cooperate with the welding assembly 5 to complete the tab welding process. The conveyor assembly 3 is responsible for accurately positioning the clamping tray and the soft-pack battery conveyed on the workflow to the corresponding positions of the auxiliary welding assembly 2 and the guide welding assembly 6. Subsequently, through the adjustment of the conveyor assembly 3, the soft-pack battery is lifted to a specific height to ensure that its tabs are accurately aligned with the auxiliary welding assembly 2 and the guide welding assembly 6. In addition, this process also lifts the soft-pack battery to a relatively independent space, aiming to reduce the interference of external factors, thereby ensuring the accuracy and stability of the tab welding operation. When the soft-pack battery moves to the predetermined position, the auxiliary welding assembly 2 adjusts its own posture to drive the guide welding assembly 6 to be initially aligned with the tabs of the soft-pack battery. At the same time, the guide welding assembly 6 performs precise measurement, and the auxiliary welding assembly 2 adjusts according to the measurement results to ensure the accurate correspondence between the guide welding assembly 6 and the tabs. Immediately afterwards, the guide welding assembly 6 cooperates with the welding assembly 5 to weld the tabs. After one side of the tabs is welded, the conveyor assembly 3 turns the soft-pack battery and repeats the above operations to complete the welding of the tabs on the other side. After the tabs on both sides are welded, the conveyor assembly 3 runs in reverse to convey the welded soft-pack battery back to the workflow for subsequent processing operations.

[0027] As Figure 3 andFigure 4 As shown in the figure, the conveying assembly 3 includes a transmission rack 309 corresponding to the workflow. Two transmission shafts 301 are assembled on the transmission rack 309. One of the transmission shafts 301 is driven by a driving motor and can rotate forward and backward. Conveyor sprockets are installed on both of the two transmission shafts 301 to drive the conveyor chain 302 tensioned on the two transmission shafts 301 to rotate cyclically. This is aimed at improving the transmission efficiency and ensuring the stable transmission of soft-pack batteries. The conveyor chain 302 consists of two chains, and the chain links correspond to each other one by one and are arranged in parallel. The outer sides of the chain links are clamped with the two bottoms of the protective sheet, and the protective sheet is designed in an inverted U shape to protect the surface of the soft-pack battery and at the same time increase the friction of the soft-pack battery during transmission and reduce the risk of slipping on the conveyor chain 302. The driving motor is a forward and reverse stepper motor, which has a simple structure, convenient control and reliable operation. It can realize the forward and reverse cyclic operation of the two transmission chains, so as to realize the stable two-way transmission of soft-pack batteries, improve the flexibility of the equipment and ensure the smooth progress of the production process. Both the conveyor sprockets and the conveyor chain 302 are configured with two, and are respectively installed at both ends of the transmission shaft 301 inside the transmission rack 309, which is aimed at enhancing the bearing capacity of the conveying assembly 3 and ensuring the stability of the soft-pack battery after moving to the vertical position of the work station. A pushing cylinder 305 connected to the fixed frame 1 is provided between the two transmission chains. The pushing cylinder 305 is driven by a cam divider 308 provided on the fixed frame 1 to rotate. A lifting tray 303 is fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the pushing cylinder 305, and the edge of the lifting tray 303 corresponds to a position detector 306 provided on the fixed frame 1, and the position detector 306 is an infrared sensor. When the infrared rays emitted by the position detector 306 are blocked by the clamping tray holding the battery, the two conveyor chains 302 will stop running, and then the pushing cylinder 305 will push the lifting tray 303 to drive the clamping tray and the battery to move up to the corresponding height position. Pressing wheels 304 are provided on both sides of the fixed frame 1 corresponding to the lifting tray 303 along the rotation direction of the conveyor chain 302, and the pressing wheels 304 are pushed by an auxiliary cylinder provided on the fixed frame 1. When the clamping tray is pushed to the appropriate height and the angle is adjusted by the cam divider 308, the two pressing wheels 304 will clamp and position the position of the clamping tray, so as to further ensure the stability during the process of the welding assembly 5 welding the pole ears. A limiting block 307 driven by a limiting cylinder to perform vertical displacement is also provided on the fixed frame 1. The limiting block 307 can prevent the position change caused by the vibration of the pushing cylinder 305 during the process of the pushing cylinder 305 moving the clamping tray up and down or changing the angle. This is aimed at reducing the possibility of the position change between the clamping tray and the auxiliary welding assembly 2 and the guiding welding assembly 6 after the pushing cylinder 305 changes the angle, that is, reducing the time for the auxiliary welding assembly 2 and the guiding welding assembly 6 to repeatedly calibrate with the pole ears, so as to ensure the efficiency of fixing the pole ear welding process. When it is necessary to input or output the clamping tray, the limiting cylinder can lower the limiting block 307 to enable the clamping tray to pass through stably for input or output.

[0028] As Figure 5 shown, the auxiliary soldering assembly 2 is composed of an auxiliary soldering frame 201 and a longitudinal row frame 202 provided on the fixing frame 1. An auxiliary fixing cylinder 205 is fixedly installed at the center of the auxiliary soldering frame 201. The auxiliary fixing cylinder 205 drives a push plate 206. Telescopic rods 207 are installed at the four corners of the push plate 206. The telescopic ends of the four telescopic rods 207 are fixedly connected to a push and press plate 209. A shock-absorbing spring 208 is arranged around the outer periphery of the telescopic rod 207 between the push and press plate 209 and the push plate 206. After the pushing cylinder 305 pushes the soft-pack battery to a proper height, the auxiliary fixing cylinder 205 will drive the push and press plate 209 and the push plate 206 to press the top of the battery after the angle adjustment of the soft-pack battery is completed, so as to further stabilize the position of the soft-pack battery, that is, to maintain the position stability of the tab during the processing. During the process of the push and press plate 209 pressing the soft-pack battery, the shock-absorbing spring 208 will reduce the vibration generated when the auxiliary fixing cylinder 205 extends to press the soft-pack battery, thereby reducing the position change of the soft-pack battery caused by the vibration. The longitudinal row frame 202 drives the transverse row frame 203 to move longitudinally, and the transverse row frame 203 drives the welding guide assembly 6 to move transversely to adjust the position of the welding guide assembly 6 to correspond to the tab. The welding guide assembly 6 includes a welding guide frame 601 driven by the transverse row frame 203 to move transversely. An adjustment platform 602 is arranged at the bottom of the welding guide frame 601. Four detectors 603 are installed on the adjustment platform 602. The four detectors 603 are inclinedly distributed so that their laser lines can cross and intersect through the small openings of two welding nozzles 605 arranged on the welding guide frame 601 to correspond to the four vertices of the tab of the soft-pack battery, that is, to assist in determining the welding position of the tab of the soft-pack battery. After the laser is reflected at the four vertices of the tab of the soft-pack battery, it crosses through the welding ports of the welding nozzles 605 again and is detected by the detectors 603. This process not only realizes the accurate measurement and verification of the tab position, but also improves the reliability and stability of the measurement. During the detection process, the corresponding electronic control system will be coordinated to control the operation of the longitudinal row frame 202 and the transverse row frame 203 to ensure the accurate correspondence between the tab of the soft-pack battery and the welding nozzles 605. After the position detection is completed, the adjustment platform 602 will drive the corresponding position detector 306 to give way so that the welding nozzles 605 can move unobstructedly along the length direction of the fixing frame 1. The conveying assembly 3, the welding guide assembly 6, the longitudinal row frame 202, the transverse row frame 203 and the auxiliary fixing frame 204 installed on the auxiliary soldering frame 201 are all configured with two and are arranged in sequence along the width direction of the fixing frame 1, thereby improving the efficiency of tab welding. As Figure 1As shown in the figure, two carrier frames 501 are provided on the fixing frame 1. A variable pitch traveling frame 502 included in a gantry traveling frame is installed on the two carrier frames 501. The variable pitch traveling frame 502 drives the auxiliary traveling frame 503 to approach the welding nozzle 605. The auxiliary traveling frame 503 drives the positioning frame 504 to displace along the width direction of the fixing frame 1. A laser welding part 505 and an infrared sensor aligned with the welding nozzle 605 are fixedly installed at the end of the positioning frame 504 facing the welding nozzle 605. When the laser emitted by the infrared sensor passes by the side wall of the welding nozzle 605, it indicates that the preliminary movement is in place. After the laser emitted by the infrared sensor passes through the hollow structure of the welding nozzle 605, the parameter position of the laser welding part 505 can be stably corresponded to the welding nozzle 605. Then, the welding laser emitted by the laser welding part 505 can pass through the welding nozzle 605 to weld the tab. The control adjustment after parameter calibration can also be performed through the numerical control system. The specific equipment model and working principle for corresponding the laser welding part 505 to the welding nozzle 605 should be understood as the prior art. During the welding process, the pipeline connected to the welding nozzle 605 will eject a protective gas and absorb harmful gases after welding, so as to ensure the welding quality of the tab. In addition, the setting of the auxiliary traveling frame 503 enables the two groups of welding nozzles 605 to perform welding operations alternately, further improving the efficiency of welding the tabs. One of the two welding nozzles 605 is connected to the welding guide frame 601 through an adjusting assembly 604, and the other is fixedly arranged on the welding guide frame 601, so as to facilitate the operator to adjust the distance between the two welding nozzles 605 to adapt to the tab bending surfaces of different sizes for use. The adjusting assembly 604 includes a blocking motor arranged on the welding guide frame 601. The auxiliary motor drives an adjusting screw rod rotatably arranged on the welding guide frame 601. The auxiliary motor is a stepper motor that can rotate forward and backward. When the auxiliary motor rotates forward and backward, the adjusting screw rod can cooperate with a threaded block connected to the welding nozzle 605 to drive the welding nozzle 605 slidingly matched with the welding guide frame 601 to displace, so as to adjust the distance between the two welding nozzles 605.

[0029] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, a fire prevention component 4 is provided at a position on the fixing frame 1 corresponding to the laser welding part 505. The fire prevention component 4 includes a monitoring part 403 provided on the auxiliary fixing frame 204 and a guiding frame 401 provided on the transmission frame 309 facing the laser welding part 505. The monitoring part 403 is an image monitoring device or a smoke alarm device. When a soft-pack battery catches fire during the welding process, the monitoring part 403 will send a signal to control the reverse rotation of the conveying chain 302, so as to convey the burning soft-pack battery to the guiding frame 401. Subsequently, the guiding frame 401 will guide the soft-pack battery into the fire extinguishing box 402, and the water or flame retardant foam provided in the fire extinguishing box 402 will extinguish the soft-pack battery. It is particularly worth noting that a plurality of balls can be provided on the inclined surface of the guiding frame 401 to reduce the friction between the soft-pack battery and the inclined surface of the guiding frame 401, thereby increasing the speed at which the soft-pack battery is sent into the fire extinguishing box 402 after passing through the guiding frame 401, that is, shortening the time when the soft-pack battery poses a threat to the equipment in the outside world.
