Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of positioning fixtures, in particular to a positioning fixture used for reducing scratches on a diaphragm of a square lithium-ion battery cell. Background Art

[0002] The assembly line is an important production process for lithium-ion batteries. The general process flow is: the inspection machine detects the weight, size, and short circuit of the battery cell - the pre-welding of the tabs - the butterfly welding - the welding of the connecting piece - the film coating - the spot welding of the shell - the cover welding - the peripheral welding - X-ray - the helium inspection. In the actual processing process, the battery cell needs to be transported and positioned by the fixture to ensure that the forming movement of the battery cell and the workpiece has the correct position and ensures that the position is not changed by external forces. The positioning of the battery cell and the workpiece ensures its processing quality, improves production efficiency and reduces processing costs, which is of great significance.

[0003] During the transportation and positioning of the battery cells from the inspection process to the connection plate welding process, the diaphragm is in direct contact with the fixture. In actual production, there will be a certain concentration of dust particles in the workshop. If these dust particles are deposited on the surface of the base, if the battery cells move on the surface, the diaphragm will be scratched, and even powder will fall off, greatly increasing the insecurity of the battery; the processing accuracy of the base will also affect the surface of the diaphragm. The bumps and uneven surfaces generated during the processing are the culprits for the scratches on the battery cells. At the same time, it is not limited to the influence of external objects. For example, in order to increase its safety and electrical performance, some batteries currently use ceramic coating on one or both sides of the diaphragm to improve the heat resistance and liquid retention performance of the diaphragm. However, this ceramic layer is attached to the surface of the diaphragm base layer through the adhesion of the adhesive. During the positioning of the battery cell, the friction between the battery cell and the base surface will scrape off the ceramic glue, causing the ceramic glue to be deposited on the base surface to form white crystals. This nearby object will scratch the subsequent battery cell diaphragms. In order to clean this white crystal, the cleaning cycle needs to be increased, which will reduce production efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, the utility model provides a positioning fixture for reducing scratches on the diaphragm of a square lithium-ion battery cell to solve the above-mentioned problem. Utility Model Content

[0029] Furthermore, the bottom of the second push plate 11 is 3 mm higher than the bottom of the second connecting block 10 , which can prevent the bottom of the second push plate 11 from contacting the top of the first roller 5 , thereby affecting the movement of the second push plate 11 itself.

[0030] Furthermore, the outer side walls of the first push plate 9 and the second push plate 11 are both fixedly connected with cylinders.

[0031] Working principle:

[0032] In the actual working process, when the battery cell is sent to the base 1 by the transfer fixture, after the photoelectric identification of the battery cell, the No. 1 push plate 9 moves towards the direction close to the No. 2 limit block 3 under the push of the cylinder, and the No. 2 slider 21 at the bottom of the No. 1 connecting block 8 slides in the No. 1 slide groove 14. Since a rotatable No. 1 roller 5 is provided in the No. 1 rolling groove 4, and the top of the No. 1 roller 5 is 1mm higher than the top of the No. 1 rolling groove 4, the No. 1 push plate 9 pushes the battery cell to slide on the No. 1 roller 5, so that the front end of the battery cell contacts the No. 2 limit block 3. After the longitudinal push is completed, the No. 1 push plate 9 moves away from the No. 2 limit block 3 under the action of the cylinder; then the No. 2 push plate 11 moves towards the direction close to the No. 1 limit block 2 under the action of the cylinder, and the No. 1 slider 20 at the bottom of the No. 2 connecting block 10 slides in the No. 2 slide groove 15. When the top of the base 1 is close to the induction device at the right position When the sensor 13 at the bottom of the second push plate 11 is detected by the device 12, the electric telescopic device 16 works, and the second roller 7 is pushed upward by the third push plate 17 until the top of the first limit shaft 18 on both sides of the second roller 7 contacts the top of the first limit groove 19. At this time, the top of the second roller 7 is 2mm higher than the top of the second rolling groove 6. Therefore, the second push plate 11 pushes the battery cell to slide on the second roller 7, so that the left end of the battery cell contacts the first limit block 2, and the horizontal push ends, that is, the battery cell positioning is completed. The second push plate 11 moves away from the first limit block 2 under the action of the cylinder. When the sensor 12 at the top of the base 1 near the right position detects the sensor 13 at the bottom of the second push plate 11 again, the electric telescopic device 16 works, the third push plate 17 moves downward, and the second roller 7 falls back into the second rolling groove 6. Finally, the transfer fixture transports the battery cell to the next process.

For those skilled in the art, the present invention may be subject to various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
