[0023] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the utility model provides a liquid-cooled welding head, including: a base 10 and a plurality of heating components 20 arranged at intervals on the base 10, the base 10 is provided with at least one liquid channel 11, the base 10 is also provided with a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet connected to the liquid channel 11, each heating component 20 includes a magnetic core seat 21, an electromagnetic heating element 22, a protective shell 23 and a circuit board 24, the electromagnetic heating element 22 is arranged in the magnetic core seat 21, the circuit board 24 is arranged in the protective shell 23, and the circuit board 24 is electrically connected to the magnetic core seat 21. The number of heating components 20 is set as needed, such as one heating component 20 corresponds to one battery string or multiple battery strings.

[0024] The magnetic core seat 21 includes a seat body and a ceramic cover plate. The seat body is provided with a receiving groove, the electromagnetic heating element 22 is arranged in the receiving groove, and the ceramic cover plate is covered on the notch of the receiving groove. The electromagnetic heating element 22 includes a magnetic core and a coil wound on the magnetic core. The base 10, the seat body of the magnetic core seat 21 and the protective shell 23 are made of metal materials with good thermal conductivity. Before welding the busbar, the busbar is placed on the ceramic cover plate on the top of the magnetic core seat 21. After the busbar is heated by the electromagnetic heating element 22, the temperature of the magnetic core seat 21 will increase due to heat conduction. At the same time, the heating temperature of the circuit board 24 itself will also increase. In the process of the liquid cooling medium flowing from the liquid inlet into the liquid channel 11 and flowing out through the liquid outlet, the heat conducted to the base 10 by the magnetic core seat 21 and the protective shell 23 in the multiple heating components 20 will be taken away, so that the magnetic core seat 21 is cooled to the target area temperature. A plurality of heating components 20 are arranged on a base 10. Compared with an air-cooled welding head in which each magnetic core seat 21 is cooled by a fan, the liquid-cooled welding head provided by the present invention has a simpler structure and a better liquid cooling effect than an air cooling effect.

[0025] In an optional embodiment, the core seat 21 is disposed on the top of the base 10 so that the core seat 21 is above the liquid channel 11. The base 10 supports the core seat 21 during the welding process, and the protective shell 23 is disposed on one side of the base 10.

[0026] In an optional embodiment, the heating component 20 also includes a pressing block 25, and the pressing block 25 and the protective shell 23 are respectively connected to two opposite side walls of the base 10; a baffle is provided on the top of the base 10 away from the pressing block 25, and the core seat 21 abuts against the baffle, and the side wall of the core seat 21 opposite to the pressing block 25 has a first inclined surface, and the pressing block 25 is provided with a second inclined surface parallel to the first inclined surface, and the second inclined surface abuts against the first inclined surface. The pressing block 25 is fastened to the base 10 and pressure is applied to the core seat 21, and the core seat 21 is limited and fixed by cooperating with the pressing block 25 and the baffle.

[0027] In an optional embodiment, an anti-bending groove 12 is provided at the bottom of the base 10 . The anti-bending groove 12 is an arch-shaped, inverted V-shaped or inverted U-shaped structure, etc., for increasing the strength of the base 10 .

[0028] In an optional embodiment, an air cooling member 26 is further provided in the protective shell 23, and an air outlet 231 is provided on the protective shell 23.

Preferably, the air cooling member 26 blows air directly toward the circuit board 24, and the air outlet 231 is provided at the bottom of the protective shell 23 or at a side wall away from the base 10. The cold air generated by the air cooling member 26 takes away the heat of the circuit board 24 and is discharged from the protective shell 23 through the air outlet 231. In the present utility model, the air cooling member 26 is a fan or an air amplifier.

[0029] In an optional embodiment, a liquid cooler is further included, and the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet are connected to the liquid cooler through a hose. The liquid cooler continuously provides liquid cooling medium to the liquid channel 11. The temperature of the liquid cooling medium provided by the liquid cooler is controllable to adjust the cooling temperature of the core seat 21 according to the working conditions.

[0030] In an optional embodiment, a temperature sensor 27 is provided in the core seat 21. The temperature sensor 27 collects the temperature of the core seat 21 in real time and is used to correct the working parameters of the core seat 21 under different working conditions to avoid problems such as cold welding and over-welding caused by changes in the initial welding temperature, thereby ensuring the welding quality.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, a gas channel 211 is provided in the magnetic core seat 21, and the gas channel 211 is connected to the adsorption hole on the top of the magnetic core seat 21.

Ordinary technicians in this field can understand that all or part of the processes of the above embodiments and equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present invention still fall within the scope covered by the present invention.
