Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of laser welding, and particularly relates to a laser welding device for a novel battery shell. BACKGROUND

[0002] The aluminum shell of a new energy automobile battery needs to consider light weight and safety. Laser welding is widely used in the welding of the cover plate and the outer frame of the battery shell due to its high precision and deep penetration welding characteristics. It can achieve millimeter-level accurate positioning and form a dense weld to ensure the air tightness and structural strength of the shell, effectively solving the problems of insufficient penetration and large deformation in traditional welding, and meeting the high reliability and large-scale production requirements of the battery.

[0003] For example, a laser welding device for a power battery shell disclosed in patent publication No. CN118287827A is used to weld the cover plate of a rectangular battery shell along the joint between the cover plate and the outer frame after the cover plate is assembled with the outer frame.

[0004] Due to the physical properties of aluminum, such as high reflectivity and fast heat conduction, the molten pool solidification speed is fast under high-speed welding process, and the gas in the molten pool cannot escape in time, which is easy to form internal defects such as pores and slag, affecting the density of the weld. In addition, the existing clamping mechanism usually fixes the cover plate on the outer frame through vertical pressure, and the vertical clamping force will produce a transverse extrusion effect on the weld area, causing the weld material to bulge outward. If the weld bulges too much, it may interfere with other components during the subsequent battery assembly process, affecting the overall assembly precision and structural reliability. SUMMARY

[0038] The operation principle of the present application is described as follows: the outer frame and the cover plate of the rectangular battery outer frame are sequentially placed at the positioning seat 71 (refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The dashed part in the middle is the outer frame and the cover plate of the battery shell, and the dashed arrow is the installation direction), the outer frame is positioned by the elastic supporting assembly 72 (the elastic supporting assembly 72 comprises an elastic member and a positioning block, the positioning block is installed in the positioning groove in the side wall of the positioning seat 71 through the elastic member, after the outer frame is inserted to the outer side of the positioning seat 71, the positioning block abuts against the inner wall of the outer frame under the supporting action of the elastic member, so that the positioning effect of the outer frame is achieved) of the side wall of the positioning seat 71, and then the control cabinet 1 is started.

[0039] After the control cabinet 1 is started, the hydraulic cylinder 74 will immediately perform a timed extension action, the hydraulic cylinder 74 will drive the pressing plate 75 to move downward, and after the timed work of the hydraulic cylinder 74 is completed, the pressing plate 75 will press the cover plate of the battery shell on the top of the outer frame, then the control cabinet 1 will control the motor driving assembly 44 to work, the motor driving assembly 44 will drive the rotating seat 42 to start rotating (the motor driving assembly 44 comprises a motor, a gear transmission assembly, a shaft coupling and other components), the rotating seat 42 will drive the two horizontal push electric push rods 43 to work, at the same time, the control cabinet 1 controls the horizontal push electric push rod 43, the laser welding head 3 and the motor driving assembly 83 to work according to the preset program, the horizontal push electric push rod 43 can control the distance between the laser welding head 3 and the battery shell through the U-shaped frame 81 and the rotating column 82, and the motor driving assembly 83 can adjust the angle of the rotating column 82 (the motor driving assembly 83 comprises a motor, a gear transmission assembly, a shaft coupling and other components), and since the rotating seat 42 starts to rotate at this time, the laser welding head 3 will move along the joint between the outer frame and the cover plate of the battery shell under the cooperation of the horizontal push electric push rod 43 and the motor driving assembly 83, so that the outer frame and the cover plate of the battery shell can be welded by the laser welding head 3.

[0040] Similarly, the roller 5 can also move along the joint between the outer frame and the cover plate of the battery shell (the distance between the roller 5 and the laser welding head 3 is about 5 cm), and since the weld just melts under the high temperature of the laser, and the horizontal push electric push rod 43 on the same side of the roller 5 will apply pressure to the roller 5 through the pressure sensor 85 and the mounting bracket 84, therefore, when the roller 5 moves along the weld, the roller 5 will apply pressure to the weld, on the one hand, due to the pressure applied by the roller 5, the air remaining in the weld can quickly escape, and under the extrusion force, the air holes will be extruded and closed, thereby effectively improving the fusion completeness of the weld, increasing the strength of the weld, on the other hand, due to the pressure applied by the roller 5 to the weld, the weld cannot over-expand outward, thereby avoiding the interference of the expanded weld with the subsequent assembly (wherein, due to the difference between the joint of the outer frame and the cover plate of each battery shell, the melting state of the weld is different, by detecting the pressure between the horizontal push electric push rod 43 and the mounting bracket 84 through the pressure sensor 85, it can be ensured that the pressure applied by the roller 5 to the weld is kept in a suitable state, avoiding that the pressure is too large or too small to affect the shaping effect of the weld, the pressure threshold can be preset according to the size of the joint between the outer frame and the cover plate of the battery shell), when the rotating seat 42 rotates 360°, the control cabinet 1 controls the laser welding head 3 to stop working, completing the full-circle welding of the outer frame and the cover plate of the battery shell, when the rotating seat 42 rotates 370°, the control cabinet 1 controls the motor drive assembly 44 to pause working;

[0041] When the control cabinet 1 controls the motor drive assembly 44 to pause working, the control cabinet 1 will first control the motor drive assembly 44 to drive the rotating seat 42 to rotate reversely, starting to rotate back to the original position, at the same time, the control cabinet 1 will control the vertical push electric push rod 91 to drive the piston 93 to move upward at a constant speed, when the piston 93 moves upward, it will extrude the protective oil inside the oil storage cavity 92, at this time, the protective oil will enter the inside of the sponge pad 101 through the oil injection hose 94 and the axle of the roller 5, under the action of oil pressure, the protective oil will escape through the oil injection hole 102 on the side wall of the roller 5, since the rotating seat 42 drives the roller 5 to start to move back to the original position, the roller 5 will move back along the weld which has been welded, at this time, the protective oil discharged through the oil injection hole 102 will be applied to the weld, thereby temporarily sealing the weld with the protective oil, reducing the contact between the weld and the external air, thereby reducing the degree of oxidation of the weld (wherein, since the oil injection holes 102 on the side of the roller 5 close to the arc-shaped plate 11 are all sealed by the arc-shaped rubber sealing pad 12, therefore, the protective oil can only escape through the oil injection holes 102 on the side close to the weld, avoiding the waste of protective oil), when the rotating seat 42, the laser welding head 3, the roller 5 and other components move back to the original position, the welding of a single battery shell is completed;

[0042] Wherein, at the beginning of welding, the control cabinet 1 will control each electric nozzle 62 to open in turn according to the program (for example, the first electric nozzle 62 opens first, then the second electric nozzle 62 opens, and so on, until all the electric nozzles 62 open),Figure 2 For example, the initially opened electric nozzle 62 is located at the lower left corner arc position of the support seat 41, that is, the electric nozzle 62 sprays gas to blow to the weld after being pressed by the roller 5, avoiding affecting the pressing of the roller 5 on the weld and affecting the quality of laser welding, and at the same time, the control cabinet 1 controls the machine pump 63 to start working (the suction end of the machine pump 63 is communicated with the inert gas tank), the machine pump 63 delivers inert gas to the inside of the annular air cavity 61 through the gas injection pipe 64, and the inert gas is sprayed out through the opened electric nozzle 62. Through the sprayed inert gas, the high-temperature weld can be prevented from being directly contacted with air to be oxidized, and the weld can be cooled and shaped, and in the process of welding, the injection power of the machine pump 63 is gradually increased from small to large to ensure the gas injection demand of each electric nozzle 62, and after the control cabinet 1 controls the motor driving assembly 44 to stop working, that is, the rotating seat 42 starts to rotate, the control cabinet 1 controls each electric nozzle 62 to be closed in turn according to the program, the injection power of the machine pump 63 is gradually reduced from large to small, and until the oiling work on the weld is finished. Through the double measures of gas injection and spraying protection, the contact between the weld and air can be reduced as much as possible, and the influence of weld oxidation on the quality of the weld is reduced.

[0043] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
