Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of new energy battery cell packaging, in particular to a cell edge curling tool. Background Art

[0002] In the production process of new energy batteries, in order to ensure the packaging effect of the battery cell, a wider area is left on both sides of the battery cell body for sealing. After the battery cell is formed, it needs to be folded on both sides to meet the width requirements. However, after the battery cell is folded 90° or 270°, it will often rebound after being placed for a long time. In order to prevent or reduce this phenomenon, the edge hotting process is generally added after the battery cell is folded.

[0003] At present, in mass production of battery cells, a small amount of folded edges will rebound after the hot-edges are placed, requiring re-hot-edge and small-batch trial production of battery cells. Hot-edge hot-edge of such a small number of battery cells on an automated production line will increase the cost, so there is an urgent need for a simple hot-edge tooling to meet this production demand.
