And because batteries can be recycled, they also have many advantages such as energy saving and environmental protection.
[0004] During the battery production and processing, it is necessary to fill the battery with electrolyte, and the battery production and processing is achieved by filling the electrolyte.
[0005] However, in actual production, it was found that during the electrolyte charging process, air can easily enter the battery along with the electrolyte, especially during long charging processes. This causes the battery to need to be vacuumed and vented after charging.
[0006] In the actual production process, it is found that exhaust after charging and filling can easily cause the electrode liquid to overflow the battery with the air, causing the battery surface to be contaminated by the electrode liquid. Therefore, in the actual production process, it is considered to perform vacuum treatment during the charging and filling process to ensure that the amount of air in the charging and filling environment is very small. However, at present, in the production process, a vacuum charging electrolyte equipment that can meet the production volume needs and prevent air from entering the battery during the charging and filling process has not been designed.

[0042] The above-mentioned vacuum pumping mechanism also includes a vacuum cover 2 (the cross-sectional shape of the vacuum cover 2 is rectangular; it is a box-type, and its bottom is an open structure), and the vacuum cover 2 is connected to a vacuum pump (specifically, the top of the vacuum cover 2 is connected to a vacuum pumping pipe, which is connected to the vacuum pump through a hose, the same as the existing vacuum pumping method).
[0043] Correspondingly, a sealing base 4 corresponding to the vacuum cover 2 is fixedly assembled and connected to the bottom of the frame 1 .
[0044] Driven by the cylinder, when the vacuum cover 2 is lowered to be engaged with the sealing base 4, the sealing base 4 seals the bottom of the vacuum cover 2. During operation, the vacuum pump works, and a relative vacuum environment is formed in the cover cavity of the vacuum cover 2. At this time, the electrolyte is charged in the cover cavity of the vacuum cover 2.
[0045] Since the housing cavity of the vacuum housing 2 has a certain space size, it can provide a vacuum space environment for charging and loading multiple batteries at the same time.
[0046] In the actual working process, in order to improve the sealing performance, according to the existing conventional sealing method, a sealing gasket (not shown in the figure) adapted to the vacuum cover 2 is installed at the bottom of the sealing base 4. When the vacuum cover 2 is lowered to engage the sealing base 4, the sealing performance is increased through the sealing gasket.
[0047] Example 2
[0048] like Figure 1-5 As shown, based on the structure of Example 1, the battery electrolyte injection device of this embodiment further includes an electrolyte filling mechanism fixedly assembled at the top position of the sealing base 4.
[0049] Specifically, the electrolyte charging mechanism includes a loading component of a loading battery, and the top of the loading component is fixedly assembled and connected with a charging component.
[0050] Specifically, the charging assembly includes an adjustment plate 5, on which a plurality of charging tubes 51 are assembled and connected (the specific connection method of the charging tubes 51 is: a plurality of threaded through holes are opened on the adjustment plate 5, and the charging tubes 51 are threadedly connected to the threaded through holes. This method can realize the up and down adjustment of the charging tubes 51, which is convenient for changing the distance between the charging tubes 51 and the batteries on the loading assembly, and convenient for connecting the charging tubes 51 to the batteries).
[0051] The material loading assembly includes a lower support plate 62, and the material loading assembly also includes an upper limit plate 61; the upper limit plate 61 is provided with a plurality of limit through holes 611. At the same time, the lower support plate 62 and the upper limit plate 61 are fixedly connected by a plurality of connecting members. The connecting member includes a connecting screw 621, and the lower support plate 62 and the upper limit plate 61 are respectively fixedly connected with a threaded pipe seat threadedly connected to the connecting screw 621.
[0052] During the loading process, the batteries are placed one by one along the limiting through holes 611 . At this time, the bottom of the battery is supported on the lower support plate 62 , and the upper end is limited on the upper limit plate 61 .
[0053] Meanwhile, the adjustment plate 5 is fixedly connected to the upper limit plate 61 by a plurality of adjustment connectors. Specifically, the adjustment connectors include a long adjustment screw 8 fixedly connected to the top of the upper limit plate 61; the long adjustment screw 8 is slidably connected to the adjustment plate 5; the upper end of the long adjustment screw 8 is threadedly connected to a pair of adjustment nuts 81 positioned at the top and bottom of the adjustment plate 5.
[0054] During operation, first loosen the adjusting nut 81 and slide the adjusting plate 5 down until the adjusting plate 5-charging tube 51 is lowered to near the battery for preliminary position adjustment, then adjust the charging tube 51 in a threaded manner in the above manner until the charging tube 51 is inserted into the battery, and then inject the electrolyte into the charging tube 51.
[0055] The vacuum cover 2 is lowered in the above manner until the cover is on the sealing base 4 to perform vacuuming. In a vacuum environment, the air in the vacuum cover 2 is evacuated, thereby effectively solving the defect of air entering the battery during the electrolyte injection process. The above method is easy to operate and can be easily adjusted according to the battery. In the actual production process, it can cope with the electrolyte injection of batteries of various specifications.
[0056] Example 3
[0057] like Figure 1-5 As shown, based on the structure of Example 2, when the battery is limited in the limiting through hole 611, in order to improve the stability of the battery, prevent the battery from shaking, and keep the battery in a vertical position when pressed, a plurality of elastic pressure plates 7 are fixedly connected to the hole wall of the limiting through hole 611; the elastic pressure plates 7 are in an inverted U-shaped structure and are made of elastic material such as elastic plastic.
[0058] When the battery is limited in the limiting through hole 611, the battery is kept in a vertical position by the elastic pressing plate 7. The battery is in a vertical position, which facilitates the injection of electrolyte.
[0059] Furthermore, the elastic deformation of the elastic pressing plate 7 can adapt to batteries of different thicknesses for punching and loading, thereby meeting the production needs of the workshop.
