Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of lithium battery hoisting equipment, and more specifically to a hoisting tool. Background Art
[0002] In the box-entry method using CTP module technology in power batteries, the module needs to be squeezed into the box after being over-pressurized. Whether the module reaches the designed height will affect subsequent steps such as copper busbar installation. In severe cases, it will affect the overall longitudinal dimensions of the battery pack. Therefore, it is particularly important to squeeze the CTP module to the designed height dimension inside the box.
[0003] In today's power battery manufacturing process, the more popular method of putting CTP modules into boxes is to use a clamp to squeeze them to the designed size first, then suck up the module with a suction cup, move it to the corresponding position of the box, and then move it into the box. After the tooling clamps against the crossbeam of the box, rotate the top pressure assembly to squeeze the module into the box, and then after squeezing to the limit, stop the suction cup air pressure, withdraw the tooling to complete the box entry.
[0004] However, since the module expands from the bottom during the downward extrusion process, the contact area with the side of the box and the size of the extrusion force will increase with the depth of extrusion into the box. Therefore, the CTP module will stop moving downward because of the large friction before reaching the bottom. In this case, how to weaken the influence of friction so that the CTP module can enter the box to the designed height size becomes an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content
