Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery cell production, and more specifically, to a battery cell Mylar film packaging welding integration device and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] 1. Current state of technology In the lithium battery production process, after the tabs of the battery cell are welded, a layer of polyester film (usually called Mylar film) needs to be wrapped on its surface to achieve insulation protection and prevent short circuits. Subsequently, the seams and edges of the Mylar film need to be firmly bonded to the top cover of the battery cell through methods such as hot melt welding to ensure its long-term stability and safety.

[0003] Currently, for automated production lines, sophisticated fully automated equipment (such as the publicly available documents CN105870490A and CN118560775A) already completes this process. However, in R&D, prototype manufacturing, or small-batch non-standard production scenarios, due to low output and diverse product models, introducing large-scale automated equipment is costly and impractical. Therefore, manual operation is commonly used for the packaging and welding of Mylar films.

[0004] 2. The core pain points of existing technologies Traditional manual operations suffer from a series of critical problems that seriously affect product quality, efficiency, and safety: Question 1: Inaccurate positioning and misalignment of Mylar film Phenomenon: When operators manually apply high-temperature tape to fix the Mylar film, the Mylar film shifts position during the application process due to hand tremors and uneven force.

[0005] Causes and consequences: The lack of an effective physical positioning mechanism makes it impossible to guarantee the consistency of each operation, which directly affects the appearance quality and insulation reliability of the final product.

[0006] Question 2: There is a gap between the top cover and the Mylar film, which affects the welding effect. Phenomenon: There may be tabs or support tape under the top cover of the battery cell, which will cause a gap between the top cover plane and the Mylar film.

[0007] Causes and consequences: Manually pressing to eliminate this gap is laborious, unstable, and difficult to control the force. If the gap is not eliminated, direct welding will result in: Welding leak / welding burn-through: The heat from the welding head cannot be effectively conducted to the bonding surface, resulting in localized overheating and burning through the Mylar membrane.

[0008] Welding wire drawing: When the welding head is lifted, the molten Mylar film is stuck together and drawn into thin wires, which affects the appearance and may cause short circuit risk in subsequent processes (such as top cover welding).

[0009] Problem 3: Lateral gaps cannot be eliminated, resulting in poor welding stability. Phenomenon: Gaps may exist between the front and rear edges of the Mylar membrane and the top cover.

[0010] Causes and consequences: Manually applying even pressure from the side using tools cannot result in poor contact during welding and insufficient weld strength.

[0011] Question 4: Low production efficiency, high work intensity, and high safety hazards. Phenomenon: The entire process relies on the precise operation of skilled workers and is time-consuming.

[0012] Causes and consequences: The repetitive labor is intense and inefficient, and the unstable state of holding a hot soldering iron increases the risk of burns and other safety hazards. Summary of the Invention

[0013] The purpose of this invention is to provide a Mylar film packaging welding integration device for battery cells, which can solve at least one technical problem existing in the prior art to a certain extent.

[0014] The technical solution of this invention is implemented as follows: A battery cell Mylar film packaging welding integration device, comprising: A housing for holding the battery cell, wherein the housing is provided with a battery cell slot adapted to the shape of the battery cell; The upper pressure plate is located above the housing; Adjustable limiting blocks are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the upper pressure plate, and the adjustable limiting blocks are movably connected to the upper pressure plate. The adjustable limiting blocks are connected to the housing through a buckle structure and can drive the upper pressure plate to press down to squeeze the top cover of the battery cell. An adjusting bolt passes through the adjusting limit block and extends into a screw hole on the upper pressure plate. By rotating the adjusting bolt, the adjusting limit block is moved vertically, thereby adjusting the pressing height of the upper pressure plate on the top cover of the battery cell. Side pressure plates are provided on the front and rear sides of the housing and are positioned and connected to the housing by positioning pins and magnetic components; The side plate is provided with a pressing port for pressing the Mylar film tightly against the surface of the cell top cover before welding; the side wall of the housing is provided with an adhesive port for operators to apply high-temperature tape to the Mylar film seams from the outside.

[0015] Furthermore, the adjusting limit block is fixedly connected to the upper pressure plate by a movable bolt. When the movable bolt is loosened, the adjusting limit block is allowed to move freely relative to the upper pressure plate. After adjustment, it is tightened again to lock the position.

[0016] Furthermore, the adjusting limit block has an L-shaped structure, including a fitting part and a connecting part; The upper pressure plate has fitting grooves at its left and right ends on its top surface that match the fitting part. The fitting part is inserted into the fitting groove by an interference fit. The fitting part has at least two first bolt holes for installing the movable bolt. The upper pressure plate has at least two second bolt holes, which correspond one-to-one with the first bolt holes. The fitting part also has an adjustment through hole for installing the adjustment bolt. The upper pressure plate also has a third bolt hole corresponding to the adjustment through hole. The side of the connecting part and the side of the housing are provided with the buckle structure.

[0017] Furthermore, the top of the housing has protruding positioning portions at both the left and right ends; The bottom of the upper pressure plate has two pole grooves corresponding to the positive and negative poles of the battery cell in the middle. The left and right ends of the bottom of the upper pressure plate have positioning grooves that match the positioning part, so as to position the upper pressure plate on the top of the housing.

[0018] Furthermore, the outer side of the side pressure plate is provided with multiple welding ports that avoid welding tools. The welding port avoidance area corresponds to the welding position of the Mylar film, which facilitates the insertion of a soldering iron for local hot melt welding.

[0019] Furthermore, the housing is provided with a positioning pin and a circular magnet, and the side pressure plate is provided with a positioning pin hole that fits with the positioning pin and a magnetic area that attracts the circular magnet, so as to realize the rapid positioning and initial fixation of the side pressure plate.

[0020] Furthermore, the lower parts of the front and rear sides of the upper pressure plate are respectively provided with clearance grooves to form a detachable channel, allowing the side pressure plate to be removed horizontally by means of fingers or tools through the clearance grooves.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: In this solution, the cell slots inside the casing are matched with the cells to achieve coarse positioning of the cells. Then, a top pressure plate and adjustable limit block achieve precise clamping in the Z-axis (front-back direction). A side pressure plate and magnetic pin positioning achieve clamping and welding avoidance in the X / Y-axis (left-right direction). An external adhesive port facilitates adhesive bonding. This series of steps constructs a complete, closed-loop solution that addresses the pain points of manual operation. The technical effects of this solution are direct and significant. 1. Improved precision and consistency: Through mechanical positioning (cell slots, positioning pins, magnetic blocks) and adjustable clamping, human error is completely eliminated, ensuring consistent welding quality for each Mylar film packaged cell; 2. Improved welding quality: Completely eliminates vertical and lateral gaps, allowing the Mylar membrane to be heated evenly, fundamentally eliminating "weld leakage", "weld burn-through" and "weld stringing" phenomena, resulting in stronger welds and a more aesthetically pleasing appearance; 3. Enhanced safety: It replaces dangerous manual extrusion and unstable soldering, keeping operators away from the high-temperature soldering iron work area and significantly reducing safety risks; 4. Improved production efficiency: Modular design allows for simple and quick installation and disassembly (hook and latch, magnetic attraction), reducing preparation and adjustment time and shortening the processing cycle of a single battery cell.

[0022] 5. Reduce labor intensity: The tedious manual pressing action is automated, making the operation easier and less strenuous.

[0023] 6. Excellent versatility: By adjusting the bolts, it can be adapted to different sizes of battery cells and different thicknesses of tape, meeting the needs of small-batch, multi-variety production; 7. Reduced costs: The structure is simple and easy to manufacture. Compared with automated equipment, the cost is extremely low, making it particularly suitable for the research and development and pilot production stages. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0034] This solution provides an integrated welding device for 24-film packaging of battery cells, including: The housing 9 is used to carry the battery cell 24, and the housing 9 is provided with a battery cell slot 901 adapted to the shape of the battery cell 24; Upper pressure plate 1 is located above the housing 9; Adjustable limiting block 2, the adjustable limiting block 2 is respectively provided on the left and right sides of the upper pressure plate 1, and the adjustable limiting block 2 is movably connected to the upper pressure plate 1. The adjustable limiting block 2 is connected to the housing 9 through the buckle 3 structure, and can drive the upper pressure plate 1 to press down to squeeze the top cover of the battery cell 24. The adjusting bolt 23 passes through the adjusting limit block 2 and extends into the screw hole on the upper pressure plate 1. By rotating the adjusting bolt 23, the adjusting limit block 2 is moved vertically, thereby adjusting the pressing height of the upper pressure plate 1 on the top cover of the battery cell 24. Side pressure plates 7 are disposed on the front and rear sides of the housing 9, and are positioned and connected to the housing 9 by positioning pins 10 and magnetic components; The side pressure plate 7 is provided with a film pressing port 13 for pressing the Mylar film tightly against the top cover surface of the battery cell 24 before welding; the side wall of the housing 9 is provided with an adhesive port 6 for operators to apply high-temperature tape to the Mylar film seams from the outside. The adjusting limit block 2 is fixedly connected to the upper pressure plate 1 by a movable bolt 18. Loosening the movable bolt 18 allows the adjusting limit block 2 to move freely relative to the upper pressure plate 1. After adjustment, it is tightened again to lock the position.

[0035] The adjusting limit block 2 has an L-shaped structure, including a fitting part 201 and a connecting part 202. The upper pressure plate 1 has fitting grooves at its left and right ends that match the fitting part 201. The fitting part 201 is inserted into the fitting groove by interference fit. The fitting part 201 has at least two first bolt holes 151 for installing the movable bolt 18. The upper pressure plate 1 has at least two second bolt holes 152, which correspond one-to-one with the first bolt holes 151. The fitting part 201 also has an adjusting through hole 4 for installing the adjusting bolt 23. The upper pressure plate 1 also has a third bolt hole 153 corresponding to the adjusting through hole 4. The bottom of the connecting part 202 is lower than the bottom of the fitting part 201. The side of the connecting part 202 and the side of the housing 9 are provided with the buckle 3 structure.

[0036] The clasp 3 structure is a conventional technology, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, here is a brief explanation: The latch 3 structure includes a latch 3, a latch base 5, an ear plate 19, and a latch ring 21. The ear plate 19 is fixed to the side of the connecting part 202 by two bolts 20. Hinged holes for mounting the latch ring 21 are provided on both sides of the latch 3. The latch ring 21 is snapped onto the latch 3 by its own metal resilience and can rotate. The connecting piece 22 is a hinge shaft. The latch 3 is hinged to the ear plate 19 through the connecting piece 22. The latch base 5 is provided on the left and right side walls of the housing 9. When the upper pressure plate 1 is fastened to the housing 9, the connection between the housing 9, the upper pressure plate 1, and the battery cell 24 is achieved through the fastening of the latch 3 structure on both sides of the housing 9.

[0037] The top of the housing 9 has raised positioning portions at both the left and right ends; the bottom of the upper pressure plate 1 has two electrode grooves 16 corresponding to the positive and negative electrodes of the battery cell 24 in the middle, and the bottom of the upper pressure plate 1 has positioning grooves at both the left and right ends that match the positioning portions, so as to position the upper pressure plate 1 on the top of the housing 9. The outer side of the side pressure plate 7 has multiple welding ports 8 that avoid welding tools. The areas of the welding ports 8 that avoid the welding tools correspond to the welding positions of the Mylar film, which facilitates the insertion of a soldering iron for local hot melt welding.

[0038] The housing 9 is provided with a positioning pin 10 and a circular magnet 11. The side pressure plate 7 is provided with a positioning pin hole 12 that fits with the positioning pin 10 and a magnetic region that attracts the circular magnet 11, so as to realize the rapid positioning and initial fixation of the side pressure plate 7.

[0039] The lower parts of the front and rear sides of the upper pressure plate 1 are respectively provided with relief grooves 14 to form a detachable channel, allowing the side pressure plate 7 to be removed horizontally by means of fingers or tools through the relief grooves 14.

[0040] Example 1 Please see Figures 1 to 7 This invention provides an integrated welding device for 24-cell battery film packaging, applicable to the wrapping, positioning, pressing, and auxiliary welding operations of 24-cell battery insulation film. Through the synergistic effect of its mechanical structure, this device solves problems such as inaccurate positioning, uneven pressing, poor welding quality, and high safety hazards inherent in manual operations.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the device mainly consists of a housing 9, an upper pressure plate 1, an adjusting limit block 2, a side pressure plate 7, and a series of connecting, adjusting, and positioning components.

[0042] 1. Structure and function of shell 9 The shell 9 is the basic load-bearing component of the entire device. Its main body is a cuboid frame structure with a certain rigidity and strength. It is preferably made of metal materials (such as aluminum alloy or stainless steel) to ensure structural stability and durability.

[0043] Inside the central region of the housing 9, a cell slot 901 is provided that matches the shape of the cell 24 to be processed. The size and shape of the cell slot 901 are precisely designed according to the contour of the specific model of cell 24 to accommodate and initially position the cell 24 wrapped with Mylar film, ensuring that the cell 24 is horizontal and not easily shaken when placed in the tooling.

[0044] On the upper part of the front and rear sides of the housing 9, a positioning pin 10 and a circular magnet 11 are respectively provided. The positioning pin 10 is a cylindrical protrusion used to make clearance fit with the positioning pin hole 12 on the side pressure plate 7 to achieve precise lateral positioning. The circular magnet 11 is fixed to the housing 9 by means of adhesive or other methods, with its magnetic poles facing upwards, and is used to generate an attraction force with the mating magnetic area (such as an iron sheet or another magnet) on the side pressure plate 7 to achieve quick and initial fixation of the side pressure plate 7.

[0045] At least one adhesive port 6 is provided on each of the left and right side walls of the housing 9. In this embodiment, two adhesive ports 6 are provided on each side, one at the top and one at the bottom. The adhesive port 6 is a rectangular or circular opening that penetrates the side wall and connects to the cell slot 901. Its position corresponds to the operating area at the Mylar membrane seam. This design allows the operator to apply high-temperature tape to the Mylar membrane seam by inserting their fingers or special tools (such as tweezers) through the adhesive port 6 from the outside when the device is fully assembled, thus achieving unobstructed operation of critical processes.

[0046] 2. Structure and function of the upper pressure plate 1 and the adjustable limit mechanism The upper pressure plate 1 is a long strip-shaped plate component located directly above the housing 9, used to apply vertical downward pressure to the top cover of the battery cell 24.

[0047] At the lower left and right ends of the upper pressure plate 1, there is an L-shaped adjusting limit block 2. The horizontal fitting part 201 of each adjusting limit block 2 is inserted into the fitting groove at the end of the upper pressure plate 1 by interference fit, and the adjusting limit block 2 is detachably fixed to the upper pressure plate 1 by at least two M8 movable bolts 18 passing through the first bolt hole 151 and the second bolt hole 152. When the height needs to be adjusted, the movable bolts 18 are loosened, and the adjusting limit block 2 can move freely in the vertical plane relative to the upper pressure plate 1; after adjustment, the movable bolts 18 are tightened to lock its position.

[0048] An adjustment through hole 4 is provided at the center of the vertical connecting part 202 of the adjusting limit block 2. A nutless adjusting bolt 23 (preferably a 13mm hexagon socket head cap screw 20) passes through this adjustment through hole 4 and extends into the corresponding third bolt hole 153 on the upper pressure plate 1. By rotating the adjusting bolt 23, the adjusting limit block 2 can be driven to rise or fall vertically using the thread transmission principle, thereby accurately setting the initial installation height of the adjusting limit block 2.

[0049] In the central area at the bottom of the upper pressure plate 1, there are two pole post grooves 16, whose positions correspond to the positive and negative pole posts of the battery cell 24, which are used to avoid and protect the pole posts during the pressing process. At the left and right ends of the bottom of the upper pressure plate 1, there are two positioning grooves 17, whose shapes match the protruding positioning parts at the left and right ends of the top of the housing 9, which are used to achieve precise alignment and installation between the upper pressure plate 1 and the housing 9.

[0050] An ear plate 19 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the adjusting limit block 2 by an M8 bolt 20. The ear plate 19 is hinged to the latch 3 by a connector 22, forming a lever mechanism. The latch seat 5 is fixed to the side wall of the housing 9. When it is necessary to lock the upper pressure plate 1, the buckle 21 (using its own metal elasticity) is snapped onto the latch seat 5, and the connector 22 is pulled, thereby driving the latch 3 to move, forcing the upper pressure plate 1 to press down on the top cover of the battery cell 24.

[0051] 3. Structure and function of side pressure plate 7 The side pressure plate 7 is a pair of symmetrically arranged plate-shaped components, which are respectively installed on the front and rear sides of the housing 9.

[0052] On the inner side of each side pressure plate 7, there is a positioning pin hole 12 that matches the positioning pin 10 on the housing 9, and a mating magnetic area (such as a piece of iron) that attracts the circular magnet 11 on the housing 9. The precise positioning of the side pressure plate 7 is achieved through the mechanical cooperation between the positioning pin 10 and the positioning pin hole 12; the initial fixation of the side pressure plate 7 is achieved quickly and conveniently through the attraction force between the magnets, which facilitates one-handed operation and installation.

[0053] The side pressure plate 7 is designed with pressing ports 13, which can be used to press the Mylar film tightly against the top cover during operation. Each side pressure plate 7 has three welding ports 8 on its outer surface, located at the left and right ends and in the middle. These welding ports 8 are carefully designed to avoid the critical areas where the Mylar film needs to be heat-fused. This allows the operator to use the soldering tip of a soldering iron to directly insert through the welding ports 8 to locally heat and weld the edge of the Mylar film pressed by the pressing ports 13, without disassembling the side pressure plate 7.

[0054] For ease of maintenance and replacement, the lower front and rear sides of the upper pressure plate 1 are respectively provided with clearance grooves 14, forming a horizontal channel. When it is necessary to remove the side pressure plate 7, the locking of the upper pressure plate 1 can be released first, and then the side pressure plate 7 can be pulled out horizontally with fingers or tools through the clearance grooves 14.

[0055] 4. How to use the device The specific usage process of the device of the present invention is as follows: S1: Preparation and Placement: Place the housing 9 stably on a horizontal workbench. Remove the upper pressure plate 1 and the side pressure plates 7 on both sides. Place the battery cell 24, which has been wrapped with Mylar film, horizontally into the battery cell slot 901 of the housing 9, ensuring that its bottom is in contact with the cell and there is no tilt.

[0056] S2: Initial adjustment: Rotate the adjusting bolt 23 counterclockwise to the highest point so that its end is disengaged from the third bolt hole 153 inside the housing 9, and place the adjusting limit block 2 in the lowest position to avoid damaging the battery cell 24 during initial installation.

[0057] S3: Installation and initial pressing: Place the upper pressure plate 1 above the housing 9, and use the terminal groove 16 to fit the terminal of the battery cell 24. The positioning groove 17 cooperates with the protruding positioning part of the housing 9 to achieve precise positioning. Then, pull the latch 3 to insert the buckle 21 into the buckle seat 5, so that the upper pressure plate 1 initially presses down on the top cover of the battery cell 24.

[0058] S4: Precision Adjustment: Observe the fit between the top cover of cell 24 and the Mylar film. If there is a gap between the top and bottom or Mylar film overflow, loosen the movable bolt 18 and rotate the adjusting bolt 23 clockwise or counterclockwise to drive the adjusting limit block 2 to rise or fall, thereby fine-tuning the clamping amount of the upper pressure plate 1. Repeat this process until the top cover and Mylar film are completely and tightly fitted, without obvious gaps or excessive compression. Finally, tighten the movable bolt 18 to lock the position of the adjusting limit block 2.

[0059] S5: Install the side pressure plates 7: Align the two side pressure plates 7 with the positioning pins 10 and the circular magnets 11 at the front and rear of the housing 9, respectively, insert them, and use magnetic force to initially fix them. At this time, the pressing holes 13 on the side pressure plates 7 will automatically press the front and rear edges of the Mylar membrane together.

[0060] S6: Apply positioning adhesive: The operator uses their fingers or tools to precisely apply the high-temperature tape to the seam of the Mylar membrane through the adhesive port 6 on the side wall of the housing 9 to complete the physical fixation.

[0061] S7: Perform welding. Using a soldering iron, insert it into the welding port 8 on the outside of the side pressure plate 7 and perform local heat fusion welding on the welding position of the Mylar film to firmly fuse it to the top cover of the cell 24.

[0062] S8: Disassembly and Removal: After welding is completed, open the latch 3 to release the lock of the upper pressure plate 1 and remove the upper pressure plate 1. Then, slide the side pressure plates 7 horizontally out through the clearance groove 14 of the upper pressure plate 1. Finally, remove the finished battery cell 24 with completed Mylar film packaging welding from the housing 9.

[0063] In summary, through the above specific implementation methods, this solution successfully realizes a simple, convenient, safe and reliable 24-film packaging welding integrated device for battery cells, which significantly improves the process quality and efficiency in small-batch production.

[0064] This solution, combining existing Mylar film packaging welding processes, effectively addresses a series of problems encountered during Mylar film packaging welding, such as tape misalignment, operational inconvenience, weld leaks, weld burn-through, and post-weld stringing, as well as the impact of the gap between the top cover and the film on welding results. The designed cell groove positions the cell, securing it to the Mylar film during tape application for stability and to prevent misalignment. The newly added side and top pressure plates eliminate the gap between the top cover and the Mylar film, significantly reducing the risks associated with traditional manual pressing to eliminate this gap. Furthermore, adjusting the depth of the adjusting bolts changes the compaction distance of the top cover. This design flexibly adapts to various cell types, particularly those with different gaps between the top cover and the cell. In practical applications, for cells of different specifications, operators can precisely adjust the bolt depth according to specific gap requirements, ensuring a tight fit between the top cover and the cell for optimal welding results. This adjustable design enhances the product's versatility and adaptability, meeting diverse production needs. Meanwhile, the structure of this solution is easy to assemble, which reduces the workload, greatly improves work efficiency, reduces the dangers in the welding process, and effectively ensures the safety of operators.

[0065] Example 2 The method of using the battery cell 24 film packaging welding integration device includes the following steps: S1: Place the battery cell 24 wrapped with Mylar film into the battery cell slot 901 of the housing 9, and press the battery cell 24 to ensure that the bottom of the battery cell 24 is tightly attached to the bottom of the battery cell slot 901; S2: Adjust the height of the adjusting bolt 23 so that the adjusting limit block 2 is in the initial low position to avoid assembly damage; S3: Install the upper pressure plate 1, and use the pole post groove 16 and positioning groove 17 to achieve the positioning and installation of the upper pressure plate 1, the battery cell 24 and the housing 9. Then connect it to the housing 9 through the buckle 3 structure, so that the upper pressure plate 1 presses down on the top cover of the battery cell 24. S4: Observe the bonding status between the top cover of the battery cell 24 and the Mylar film. If there is a gap or overflow, loosen the movable bolt 18, rotate the adjusting bolt 23 to raise and lower the adjusting limit block 2, and adjust the pressing amount of the upper pressure plate 1 until they are tightly bonded. S5: Install the side pressure plate 7 on both sides of the housing 9 using the positioning pin 10 and magnetic components, and press the front and rear edges of the Mylar film using the pressing port 13; S6: Apply high-temperature adhesive tape to the seam of the Mylar membrane through adhesive port 6 for positioning and adhesive bonding; S7: Use a soldering iron to heat-weld the Mylar film through the soldering port 8 to firmly connect it to the top cover of the battery cell 24; S8: After welding is completed, release the buckle 3 structure, remove the upper pressure plate 1 and the side pressure plate 7, and take out the finished battery cell 24.

[0066] The beneficial effects of the technical solution of the present invention are: This device constructs a complete, closed-loop solution through a series of steps: "coarse positioning of the housing 9 → precision clamping in the Z-axis (front-back direction) by the upper pressure plate 1 and adjustable limit block → clamping and welding avoidance in the X / Y-axis (left-right direction) by the side pressure plate 7 and magnetic pin positioning → auxiliary adhesive application by the external adhesive port 6." This perfectly solves the pain points of manual operation, and the technical effects brought by this solution are direct and significant. 1. Improved precision and consistency: Through mechanical positioning (cell slot 901, positioning pin 10, magnetic block) and adjustable clamping, human operation errors are completely eliminated, ensuring consistent welding quality for each cell's 24-film packaging.

[0067] 2. Improved welding quality: Completely eliminates vertical and lateral gaps, allowing Mylar membranes to be heated evenly, fundamentally preventing "welding leaks," "welding through," and "welding stringing," resulting in stronger welds and a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0068] 3. Enhanced safety: It replaces dangerous manual extrusion and unstable soldering, and keeps operators away from the work area of ​​the high-temperature soldering iron, greatly reducing safety risks.

[0069] 4. Improved production efficiency: Modular design, simple and quick installation and disassembly (hook and clip, magnetic attraction), reducing preparation and adjustment time and shortening the processing cycle of a single cell.

[0070] 5. Reduce labor intensity: The tedious manual pressing action is automated, making the operation easier and less strenuous.

[0071] 6. Excellent versatility: By adjusting bolt 23, it can be adapted to battery cells 24 of different sizes and tapes of different thicknesses to meet the production needs of small batches and multiple varieties.

[0072] 7. Reduced costs: The structure is simple and easy to manufacture. Compared with automated equipment, the cost is extremely low, making it particularly suitable for the research and development and pilot production stages.
