Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of large cylindrical battery end face technology, specifically a large cylindrical battery end face formed by casting conductive copper paste and processing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] The end face of the large cylindrical battery is a key part of the new energy vehicle battery. The positive and negative electrodes are led out from it to realize current transmission. It can also be connected to the heat dissipation component to help dissipate heat. At the same time, it is used to fix the battery cells. Some end faces are equipped with safety devices such as pressure relief valves to ensure the safe and stable operation of the battery.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN102203978B discloses a cylindrical battery, including a cylindrical battery electrode assembly formed by winding positive and negative electrode sheets separated by a separator. The cylindrical battery electrode assembly is wound on a core rod. The inner end face of the positive electrode lead at one end of the cylindrical battery electrode assembly is directly connected to the entire end of the positive electrode sheet at the opposite end of the cylindrical battery electrode assembly. The inner end face of the negative electrode lead at the other end of the cylindrical battery electrode assembly is directly connected to the entire end of the negative electrode sheet at the opposite end of the cylindrical battery electrode assembly, thereby forming a current-collecting structure in which the positive and negative electrode leads are respectively located at both ends of the battery. The positive and negative electrode leads are provided with elastic element grooves, which improves the charging and discharging performance and safety performance of the battery.
[0004] However, existing technical solutions still have some problems. The conductive components in existing technical solutions are mostly pre-formed and cannot be well attached to the collector, resulting in poor conductivity of the battery. At the same time, the surfaces of existing conductive components are mostly relatively flat, making it difficult to actively eliminate internal defects and accurately control the interface morphology, thus affecting the conductivity of the battery.

Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0059] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places throughout this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single embodiment or an embodiment selectively excluded from other embodiments.
[0060] Reference Figures 1-14 This invention discloses a large cylindrical battery end face formed by casting conductive copper paste and a processing device thereon. The large cylindrical battery end face formed by casting conductive copper paste includes:
[0061] Two mesh-like manifolds 9 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the cylindrical battery and fixed to the cylindrical battery with conductive adhesive. A core 8 is placed inside the cylindrical battery. A conductive element 10, connected to the mesh-like manifolds 9, is formed by casting conductive slurry. The conductive element 10 has pre-set recesses to increase the conductivity of the cylindrical battery; these recesses are formed by ultrasonic pressing. The mesh-like manifolds 9 include a circular portion and a protruding portion. The circular portion has multiple holes, and the conductive element 10 is connected to and adapted to this circular portion. In a top view of the large cylindrical battery, the recesses are located on the circular portion of the mesh-like manifolds 9. The core 8 and the mesh manifold 9 are bonded together using conductive adhesive, and then the tightness between them is strengthened by hot pressing, which allows the conductive adhesive to cure quickly. Then, conductive slurry is poured onto the mesh manifold 9 and dried to form the conductive component 10. Then, different pits are punched into the conductive component 10 using an ultrasonic flattening machine. The conductive component 10 formed in the above way can be made according to the shape of the manifold and can perfectly fit each manifold. At the same time, by punching different shaped pits on the mesh manifold 9, the conductivity of the mesh manifold 9 is increased, ensuring that the battery can supply power smoothly.
[0062] A processing device includes a worktable 1, a feeding mechanism 2 and a rejection mechanism 3 fixedly connected to the worktable 1, a battery cell adsorption unit 5 fixedly connected to the worktable 1 for pushing and adsorbing the flattened core 8, a conveying mechanism 4 fixedly connected to the worktable 1 for transporting the battery cells to the next working area, an assembly unit 6 fixedly installed on the worktable 1, and a unloading mechanism 7 fixedly connected to the worktable 1. The feeding mechanism 2 transports the core 8 to a predetermined position, and the vision mechanism (existing technology) and rejection mechanism 3 reject defective cores 8. The battery cell adsorption unit 5 then positions the core 8 accordingly. After being pushed to a predetermined position, the cell adsorption unit 5 can adsorb the core 8, reducing the residual debris in the core 8. During the reverse movement of the cell adsorption unit 5, it can adsorb the cells that fall in the path of the core 8, reducing the amount of debris on the placement table 53. The assembly unit 6 can not only complete the dispensing work, but also sort and unload the irregular mesh manifold 9, so that it can be smoothly attached to the core 8, thereby completing the processing and production of the battery end face. Then, the unloading mechanism 7 transports it to a predetermined position, and the ultrasonic flattening machine processes the battery end face, forming pits of different shapes on the surface.
[0063] The battery cell adsorption unit 5 includes a placement platform 53 fixedly mounted on the workbench 1, two symmetrically arranged propulsion cylinders 51 along the length of the placement platform 53, an adapter 52 connected to the output end of the propulsion cylinders 51, and an adsorption part 54 connected to the adapter 52. The adsorption part 54 includes an adsorption seat 541 connected to the adapter 52, a first adjusting member 542 located in the adsorption seat 541, a connecting pipe 543 connected to the first adjusting member 542, a second adjusting member 544 connected to the connecting pipe 543, and multiple output cylinders for connecting the first adjusting member 542 and the adapter 52. The adapter 52 has an air hole that communicates with the first adjusting member 542. The connecting pipe 543 has multiple air outlets in the circumferential direction. The first adjusting member 542 includes components disposed on the adsorption seat. The first guide tube 5422 and sealing seat 5421 in 541 are used to connect the first guide tube 5422 and the sealing seat 5421. A first return spring 5425 is used to connect the first guide tube 5422 and the sealing seat 5421. A second guide tube 5423 is disposed in the first guide tube 5422. A second return spring 5424 is used to connect the second guide tube 5423 and the first guide tube 5422. The end of the second guide tube 5423 near the connecting tube 543 is tapered and its diameter gradually decreases. A snap-fit hole is opened on the first guide tube 5422. A snap-fit ball 5426 is located in the snap-fit hole. The end of the first guide tube 5422 near the connecting tube 543 is provided with multiple through holes in the circumferential direction. The end of the second guide tube 5423 away from the second adjusting member 544 is provided with an annular protrusion in the circumferential direction. One end of the second return spring 5424 abuts against the annular protrusion.
[0064] During the negative pressure adsorption process, the propulsion cylinder 51 moves the adsorption seat 541, placing the battery cell on the placement platform 53. The air pump then creates negative pressure gas within the battery cell adsorption unit 5, completing the initial negative pressure adsorption of the core 8. As the propulsion cylinder 51 retracts, the output cylinder activates, moving the second guide tube 5423. One end of the second guide tube 5423 moves away from the bottom of the first guide tube 5422, while the first guide tube 5422 moves away from the propulsion piston 5442. External gas then enters the connecting tube 543 through the through-hole, and then enters the first guide tube 5422 through the through-hole, moving along the inside of the second guide tube 5423. This process effectively adsorbs debris along the movement path of the core 8, preventing damage to the battery cell during the pushing process.
[0065] The second adjusting member 544 includes an air intake seat 5441 connected to the connecting pipe 543, a support pipe 5445 connected to the air intake seat 5441, a third return spring 5446 located in the support pipe 5445, a push piston 5442 connected to the third return spring 5446, a first chamber 5443 built into the air intake seat 5441, a plurality of second chambers 5444 communicating with the first chamber 5443 and surrounding the support pipe 5445 in the circumferential direction, an annular third chamber 5447 opened on the inner wall of the air intake seat 5441, and a connecting channel for connecting the third chamber 5447 and the first chamber 5443; the air intake seat 5441 is provided with an air intake hole, and there is a gap between the outer wall of the support pipe 5445 and the inner wall of the air intake seat 5441, and the air intake hole and the second chamber 5444 communicate through the gap;
[0066] When the second adjusting member 544 needs to start working, it abuts against the core 8 and pushes the core 8 to move to a predetermined position. Then, the output cylinder can push the second guide tube 5423 to move, and then change the deformation of the second return spring 5424, thereby pushing the first guide tube 5422 to move. This causes the first guide tube 5422 to abut against the push piston 5442 and push the push piston 5442 to move. At this time, the through hole on the first guide tube 5422 is connected to the third chamber 5447. Then, the gas can move along the connecting channel and through the first chamber 5443, the second chamber 5444 and the suction hole, thereby completing the axial adsorption of the core 8, avoiding excessive residue of debris in the core 8, and thus reducing the possibility of cell damage.
[0067] The initial adsorption during the negative pressure stage quickly secures the core 8. Simultaneously, during the retraction of the propulsion cylinder 51, the gas flow path is used to adsorb debris along the core 8's movement path, reducing interference from debris on the battery cell. When the second adjustment component 544 is operational, it uses the first chamber 5443, the second chamber 5444, and the suction port to adsorb the core 8 axially, further cleaning residual debris inside the core 8 and reducing the risk of battery cell damage due to excessive debris. Integrating propulsion, adsorption, and adjustment functions into a single unit, the coordinated operation of cylinder drive and gas flow allows for continuous placement, adsorption, cleaning, and positioning of the battery cell, reducing equipment space requirements and improving overall work efficiency.

[0069] After the negative pressure adsorption of the core 8 is completed, the core 8 can be transported to the assembly table 61 by the conveying mechanism 4. Then, the driving part 632 can drive the arranging part 637 to move. During this process, the moving arranging part 637 can drive the irregular mesh collector 9 to move and adjust the position of the mesh collector 9 so that the protruding part in the mesh collector 9 can be located in a predetermined position, so that the mesh collector 9 can fall from the predetermined position and fall into the unloading frame 6384, completing the unloading of the mesh collector 9.

The moving connecting block 6322 can drive the rack 6323 to move, and the moving rack 6323 can drive the first gear 6324 to rotate, and the moving first gear 6324 can drive the first double-axis gear 6325 to rotate, so that the first double-axis gear 6325 can drive the second double-axis gear 6371 to rotate. Then the moving second double-axis gear 6371 can drive the arrangement part 637 to rotate, so that it can adjust the position of the mesh collector 9 located therein, so that the protruding part of the mesh collector 9 is in a predetermined position, completing the filling work of the feeding part 638, so that the mesh collector 9 can fall into the feeding part 638 in a predetermined shape, ensuring the smooth operation of the feeding part 638.
[0071] The arrangement section 637 includes a card 6372 located between the second dual-axis gears 6371, an extraction tooth 6373 abutting against the card 6372 and movably connected to the second dual-axis gears 6371, and a branch tooth 6374 connected to the extraction tooth 6373; there is a curved area between the extraction tooth 6373 and the branch tooth 6374, and one end of the card 6372 is located in the curved area; the card 6372 is elastic, and through the operation of the drive section 632, the second dual-axis gears 6371 are driven to rotate, thereby driving the extraction tooth 6373 to move, so that the branch tooth 6374 abuts against the protruding part of the mesh conduit 9, and drives the mesh conduit 9 to rotate, so that it falls from a predetermined position into the unloading section 638, completing the sorting and unloading of the irregular mesh conduit 9.
[0072] The feeding section 638 includes a base 6385 fixedly mounted on the guide seat 631, a power component connected to the base 6385, a plurality of support rollers 6386 connected to the base 6385, and a feeding frame 6384 disposed on the support rollers 6386; the feeding frame 6384 is provided with a groove adapted to the mesh confluence fluid 9; the power component includes a feeding motor 6381 fixedly mounted on the base 6385, a transmission wheel set 6382 respectively disposed on the base 6385, a belt 6383 connected to the output end of the transmission wheel set 6382 and the feeding motor 6381, and a feeding shaft 6387 connected to the transmission wheel set 6382; the feeding shaft 6387 is provided with a spiral groove in the circumferential direction.
[0073] When the mesh-like collector 9 falls into the support roller 6386, the feeding motor 6381 starts working. The moving feeding motor 6381 can drive the feeding shaft 6387 to move through the transmission wheel set 6382 and belt 6383, thereby completing the feeding of the mesh-like collector 9. During the feeding process, the assembly unit 6 can only start feeding after the feeding shaft 6387 rotates to a predetermined angle, so that there is a certain gap between the mesh-like collectors 9 located in the feeding part 638, completing the feeding of the mesh-like collector 9, and then the mesh-like collector 9 can fall into The motor starts working on the rotating block 635, and the moving motor can drive the rotating block 635 to move. Then the push cylinder starts working, thereby changing the position of the push seat. Then the second negative pressure suction nozzle can perform suction work on the mesh collector 9. Then, through the movement of the push cylinder, the mesh collector 9 can be positioned in a predetermined position. Then the glue dispensing table 62 starts working, thereby applying conductive glue to both ends of the core 8. At this time, with the movement of the push cylinder 51, the mesh collector 9 can be attached to both ends of the core 8, completing the feeding work of the mesh collector 9.
[0074] Working principle description: The flattened core 8 and the mesh manifold 9 are bonded together using conductive adhesive. Then, the tightness between the two is strengthened by hot pressing, which allows the conductive adhesive to cure quickly. Then, conductive slurry is poured onto the mesh manifold 9 and dried to form the conductive part 10. Then, different pits are punched into the conductive part 10 using an ultrasonic flattening machine. The conductive part 10 formed in the above way can be made according to the shape of the manifold and can perfectly fit each manifold. At the same time, different shaped pits are formed by punching on the mesh manifold 9.
[0075] During the negative pressure adsorption phase, the propulsion cylinder 51 moves the adsorption seat 541, positioning the battery cell on the placement platform 53. A negative pressure gas is then created within the battery cell adsorption unit 5 by the air pump, completing the initial negative pressure adsorption of the core 8. As the propulsion cylinder 51 retracts, the output cylinder activates, moving the second guide tube 5423. At this point, one end of the second guide tube 5423 moves away from the bottom of the first guide tube 5422, while the first guide tube 5422 moves away from the propulsion piston 5442. External gas then enters the connecting tube 543 through the through-hole, and then enters the first guide tube 5422 through the through-hole, before moving along the second guide tube 5423, thus completing the adsorption of the core 8 along its movement path. The waste debris is adsorbed to avoid damage to the battery cell during the pushing process. When the second adjusting member 544 needs to start working, it abuts against the core 8 and pushes the core 8 to move to a predetermined position. Then, the output cylinder can push the second guide tube 5423 to move, and then change the deformation of the second return spring 5424, thereby pushing the first guide tube 5422 to move. This causes the first guide tube 5422 to abut against the push piston 5442 and push the push piston 5442 to move. At this time, the through hole on the first guide tube 5422 is connected to the third chamber 5447. Then, the gas can move along the connecting channel and through the first chamber 5443, the second chamber 5444 and the suction hole, thereby completing the axial adsorption of the core 8. This can avoid excessive residual debris in the core 8, thereby reducing the possibility of battery cell damage.
[0076] After the negative pressure adsorption of the core 8 is completed, the core 8 can be transported to the assembly table 61 by the conveying mechanism 4. Then, the driving part 632 can drive the arranging part 637 to move. During this process, the moving arranging part 637 can drive the irregular mesh collector 9 to move and adjust the position of the mesh collector 9 so that the protruding part in the mesh collector 9 can be located in a predetermined position, so that the mesh collector 9 can fall from the predetermined position and fall into the unloading frame 6384, thus completing the unloading of the mesh collector 9.
[0077] When the drive unit 632 needs to start working, the telescopic cylinder 6321 starts to move. The moving telescopic cylinder 6321 can drive the connecting block 6322 to move. Then the moving connecting block 6322 can drive the rack 6323 to move. In turn, the moving rack 6323 can drive the first gear 6324 to rotate. In turn, the moving first gear 6324 can drive the first double-shaft gear 6325 to rotate. This allows the first double-shaft gear 6325 to drive the second double-shaft gear 6371 to rotate. Then, the moving second double-shaft gear 6371 can drive the arrangement unit 637 to rotate, so that it can adjust the position of the mesh collector 9 located therein. This ensures that the protruding part of the mesh collector 9 is in a predetermined position, completing the filling work of the feeding unit 638. This allows the mesh collector 9 to fall into the feeding unit 638 in a predetermined shape, ensuring the smooth operation of the feeding unit 638.
[0078] The operation of the drive unit 632 drives the second double-shaft gear 6371 to rotate, thereby driving the extraction tooth 6373 to move, so that the branch tooth 6374 abuts against the protruding part of the mesh concentrator 9, and drives the mesh concentrator 9 to rotate, so that it falls from the predetermined position into the unloading unit 638, completing the sorting and unloading of the irregular mesh concentrator 9.
[0079] When the mesh-like collector 9 falls into the support roller 6386, the feeding motor 6381 starts working. The moving feeding motor 6381 can drive the feeding shaft 6387 to move through the transmission wheel set 6382 and belt 6383, thereby completing the feeding of the mesh-like collector 9. During the feeding process, the assembly unit 6 can only start feeding after the feeding shaft 6387 rotates to a predetermined angle, so that there is a certain gap between the mesh-like collectors 9 located in the feeding part 638, completing the feeding of the mesh-like collector 9, and then the mesh-like collector 9 can fall into the ground. The material is fed onto the rotating block 635, and then the motor starts working. The moving motor can drive the rotating block 635 to move, and then the push cylinder starts working, thereby changing the position of the push seat. Then the second negative pressure suction nozzle can perform suction work on the mesh manifold 9. Then, through the movement of the push cylinder, the mesh manifold 9 can be positioned in a predetermined position. Then the glue dispensing table 62 starts working, thereby performing conductive glue dispensing work on both ends of the core 8. At this time, with the movement of the push cylinder 51, the mesh manifold 9 can adhere to both ends of the core 8, completing the feeding work of the mesh manifold 9.
