Specifically, the conveying mechanism 1 is used to move the battery; the clamp positioning mechanism 2 receives the battery conveyed by the conveying mechanism 1 and corrects and places the battery in position; the adhesive preparation assembly 3 is used to prepare, apply, and convey the adhesive tape; the adhesive application head mechanism is equipped with a vacuum suction plate 5, which receives the adhesive tape output from the adhesive preparation assembly 3 and applies it to the head of the battery through the vacuum suction plate 5; the conveying mechanism 1 conveys the battery processed by the adhesive application head mechanism to the adhesive roller head mechanism 4, which is used to press the adhesive tape on the battery; the adhesive tail processing structure is used to apply adhesive tape to the tail of the battery and press the tape. The above structure mainly relates to the adhesive application process of soft-pack batteries, especially to... A structurally sound, highly reliable, precise, and efficient adhesive application method for applying adhesive to the top and bottom of pouch batteries is described. In use, the battery, fed from the front, is moved by a transport mechanism 1 to a fixture positioning mechanism 2. After the battery's position is limited and positioned, the adhesive preparation assembly 3 and the top adhesive application mechanism on one side of the battery apply adhesive tape to the top of the battery. The transport mechanism 1 then positions the fixture positioning mechanism 2 appropriately. A roller adhesive mechanism 4 then presses the tape firmly onto the top of the battery.

The battery is then placed in the appropriate position on the fixture positioning mechanism 2. A tail adhesive processing mechanism 6 applies the tape to the bottom of the battery and presses it firmly. Finally, the transport mechanism 1 rotates the battery 180° again and places it at the rear workstation, thus completing the adhesive application process for the pouch battery.
