[0028] It is easy to understand that according to the technical solution of the utility model, without changing the essential spirit of the utility model, a person skilled in the art can propose a variety of interchangeable structural modes and implementation modes. Therefore, the following specific implementation modes and drawings are only exemplary descriptions of the technical solution of the utility model, and should not be regarded as the entirety of the utility model or as a limitation or restriction to the technical solution of the utility model.
[0029] like Figure 1-3 As shown, as a square aluminum shell battery adapter of the utility model, it includes an adapter body 2, and the adapter body 2 is arranged on a square top cover 1;
[0030] The adapter body 2 includes a head and a tail. A square welding hole 22 for sleeve-mounting the pole surface is provided at the head of the adapter body 2, and a welding groove structure 21 is provided at the tail of the adapter body 2.
[0031] The welding groove structure 21 includes a first groove 211 at the tab inlet, a second groove 213 at the tab limiter, and a metal spring 212 arranged between the first groove 211 and the second groove 213. The metal spring 212 protrudes upward, and the first groove 211 and the second groove 213 are located on both sides of the metal spring 212.
[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the first sink 211 and the second sink 213 are located on the same plane, and the first sink 211 and the second sink 213 are located at opposite positions.
[0033] The depth of the first sink groove 211 and the second sink groove 213 is 15% to 20% of the overall thickness of the adapter body 2 , and is used to accommodate the winding core tabs and is interconnected.
[0034] The first sink groove 211 and the second sink groove 213 are arranged in a rectangular structure, which makes it more convenient to penetrate the tab.
[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the metal spring 212 and the adapter body 2 are an integrated structure, and the thickness of the metal spring 212 is 10% to 15% of the thickness of the adapter body 2, which facilitates the insertion of the pole ear from the first groove 211, moving to the bottom of the metal spring 212, and finally inserting it into the second groove 213. The overall insertion process will not cause any obstruction, and the actual application effect is better.
[0036] The square welding hole 22 is located at the center of the head of the adapter body 2, and is sleeved on the protrusion of the pole part of the square top cover 1, leaving a gap of 0.1mm to 0.2mm with the protrusion, so as to facilitate the seam welding of the adapter body 2 and the top cover 1.
[0037] The adapter body 2 and the raised part of the pole part of the square top cover 1 are welded and connected.
[0038] like Figure 4-5 As shown, a square aluminum shell battery adapter also includes a pin structure 23, which cooperates with the pole pin on the square top cover 1. The cross-sectional shape of the pin structure 23 is a large head and a small waist, and is tightly connected to the pole on the square top cover 1, so that the adapter body 2 is not easy to deviate when welding with the pole.
[0039] When in use, the battery cell pole ear enters the welding with the adapter body 2 after completing the above-mentioned process. Under the action of the auxiliary mechanism, the pole ear enters the first groove 211, passes through the metal spring 212 to the second groove 213 of the pole ear limiting opening. At this time, the ultrasonic welding machine presses the welding tooth head on the metal spring 212, and the metal spring 212 moves downward together with the pole ear and is welded together with the bottom corresponding to the metal spring 212. After the above-mentioned process is completed, the adapter body 2 is placed on the pole surface on the square top cover 1 and nested in the square welding hole 22 of the adapter. At the same time, the pin structure 23 is tightly connected with the slot on the pole to ensure that the adapter body 2 does not deviate on the pole of the top cover 1. Finally, laser welding is performed around the square welding hole 22 to complete the whole process.
[0040] The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents described above. Those skilled in the art can make various deformations and modifications to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of the present invention, and these deformations and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
