[0002] At present, judging from the development of the market situation, the application of batteries is becoming more and more extensive. Batteries are not only used in energy storage power systems such as hydropower, thermal power, wind power and solar power stations, but also widely used in electric vehicles such as electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric cars, as well as aerospace and other fields. With the continuous expansion of battery application fields, its market demand is also constantly expanding.

[0003] As the demand for battery capacity increases, in order to expand the battery capacity, multiple battery cells are usually connected in series or in parallel using battery bars to form a battery module. When preparing a battery module, the bar needs to be welded to the battery cell; in related technologies, in order to improve welding quality, a crimping tool is usually used to press and align the battery cell pole with the bar. However, for different types of battery cells, due to differences in the thickness, width, and pole position of the battery cells, when producing different battery devices, it is necessary to prepare multiple sets of crimping tools of different sizes, so that the crimping tools that match the different battery cells can be replaced, and the versatility of the crimping tool is poor. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a battery bar crimping tool, aiming to improve the versatility and compatibility of the battery bar crimping tool.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the battery tab crimping tool proposed in the utility model comprises:

[0006] First bracket;

[0007] a second bracket, the second bracket being slidably disposed on the first bracket, and a sliding direction of the second bracket being a first direction;

[0008] a third bracket, the third bracket being slidably disposed on the second bracket, and a sliding direction of the third bracket being a second direction; and

[0009] A plurality of press head assemblies are arranged side by side on the third bracket along a third direction, the press head assemblies are provided with a crimping surface, the normal direction of the crimping surface is the second direction, at least one of the press head assemblies can be slidably arranged along the third direction, and the first direction, the second direction and the third direction intersect each other.

[0010] In an embodiment of the present application, in a battery bar crimping tool, a first bracket is used as a base, and a second bracket that can slide along a first direction and a third bracket that can slide along a second direction are provided, wherein the second direction is the crimping direction of the pressing head assembly, and the pressing head assembly can slide along the second direction with the third bracket to press or move away from the battery bar; the pressing head assembly and the third bracket can slide along the first direction with the second bracket to adjust the position of the pressing head assembly in the first direction, and multiple pressing head assemblies can also slide along the third direction on the third bracket to adjust the position of the pressing head assembly in the third direction and the distance between two adjacent pressing head assemblies, thereby being suitable for the preparation of various battery devices with different battery cell sizes, different pole spacings, and different pole positions, thereby improving the versatility and compatibility of the battery bar crimping tool.

[0011] In some embodiments, the battery tab crimping tool further includes a lock-release structure, which is disposed on the press head assembly and is used to cooperate with the third bracket to lock the press head assembly on the third bracket.

[0012] By adopting the above method, after adjusting the position of the pressing head assembly along the third direction as required, the locking structure can be used to fix the pressing head assembly on the third bracket to prevent the pressing head assembly from sliding and shifting relative to the third bracket when crimping the battery bar and adjusting the position of the pressing head assembly in the first direction or the third direction, thereby ensuring that the pressing head assembly can be accurately fixed in the required position to accurately align the battery bar during the process of crimping the battery bar.

[0013] In some embodiments, the lock-release structure can be movably disposed on the pressing head assembly and has a locked state and an unlocked state. When the lock-release structure is in the locked state, it abuts against the third bracket to lock the pressing head assembly. When the lock-release structure is in the unlocked state, it is spaced apart from the third bracket.

[0014] By adopting the above method, the locking and releasing structure can maintain the connection state with the pressing head assembly, and the switching between the locked state and the unlocked state can be achieved only by moving the locking and releasing structure on the pressing head assembly. When the locking and releasing structure is in the locked state abutting against the third bracket, the friction force between the locking and releasing structure and the third bracket is utilized to lock the pressing head assembly. There is no need to disassemble and assemble the locking and releasing structure, thereby improving the convenience of use.

[0015] In some embodiments, the third bracket includes a bracket body and a slide rail provided on the bracket body, the bracket body is slidably connected to the second bracket, and the press head assembly is provided with a slider slidably matched with the slide rail;

[0016] The lock-release structure comprises:

[0017] a first abutting block and a second abutting block, wherein the first abutting block and the second abutting block are slidably arranged and are respectively located at two sides of the slide rail; and

[0018] A driving member, wherein the driving member is connected to the first abutting block and the second abutting block, and the driving member is configured to drive the first abutting block and the second abutting block to move toward or away from each other so as to clamp or release the slide rail.

[0019] This arrangement enables the lock-release structure to cooperate with the slide rail on the third bracket to achieve locking of the pressure head assembly; the first abutment block and the second abutment block are driven by the driving member to move toward each other to clamp the slide rail, and the locking strength is high and relatively stable; when the pressure head assembly needs to slide along the third direction, the first abutment block and the second abutment block are driven by the driving member to move away from each other to release the slide rail.

[0020] In one embodiment, the driving member is rotatably arranged and comprises a first thread segment and a second thread segment with opposite thread rotation directions, the first thread segment is threadedly connected to the first abutment block, and the second thread segment is threadedly connected to the second abutment block.

[0021] By adopting the above method, the rotating driving member can drive the first abutting block and the second abutting block to move toward each other to clamp the slide rail, or drive the first abutting block and the second abutting block to move away from each other to loosen the slide rail. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0022] In one embodiment, the lock-release structure further includes a shell fixed to the pressing head assembly, and the first abutting block, the second abutting block and the driving member are all disposed on the shell.

[0023] In this arrangement, the first abutment block, the second abutment block and the driving member are installed through the outer shell, so that the lock-release structure is connected into an integral structure, which is convenient for the overall disassembly and assembly of the lock-release structure.

[0024] In one embodiment, the battery tab crimping tool includes a driving mechanism, which is disposed on the second bracket and connected to the third bracket, and the driving mechanism is configured to drive the third bracket to slide along the second direction.

[0025] By adopting the above method, the third bracket can be driven to slide through the driving mechanism to drive the pressing head assembly to press the battery bar, thereby realizing automatic control and facilitating controlling the pressing force of the pressing head assembly when crimping the battery bar to ensure the crimping effect.

[0026] In one embodiment, the battery tab crimping tool also includes a first transmission mechanism, which includes a first screw rod arranged on the first bracket, and a first screw rod nut connected to the second bracket, the first screw rod is a trapezoidal screw rod, and the first screw rod nut is threadedly connected to the first screw rod.

[0027] In this arrangement, the first transmission mechanism has a self-locking capability. After the second bracket is slidably adjusted to a position relative to the first bracket, the first transmission mechanism can self-lock to prevent the second bracket from sliding relative to the first bracket and deviating from the position after being adjusted to a position.

[0028] In some embodiments, the press head assembly includes:

[0029] A connecting frame, one end of which is slidably connected to the third bracket;

[0030] A pressing head, the pressing head is arranged at one end of the connecting frame away from the third bracket and can move relative to the connecting frame along the second direction, and the pressing head is provided with the pressing surface;

[0031] An elastic member, wherein the elastic member is located between the pressing head and the connecting frame along the second direction and is located on a side facing away from the crimping surface.

[0032] By adopting the above method, when crimping the battery tab, the pressing head assembly descends along with the third bracket until the pressing head abuts against the battery tab and then continues to descend. During the downward pressing process of the pressing head assembly, the pressing head moves relative to the connecting frame and squeezes the elastic member. This can play a buffering role and can also adjust the pressure between the pressing head and the battery tab by controlling the relative movement distance between the pressing head and the connecting frame and the compression distance of the elastic member to avoid excessive pressure on the battery tab.

[0033] In one embodiment, the end of the connecting frame away from the third bracket is provided with two spaced apart limiting structures, a mounting slot penetrating along the second direction is formed between the two limiting structures, and the limiting structure is provided with a plug-in slot opening toward the mounting slot;

[0034] The pressure head comprises a main body and connecting parts located at both sides of the main body. The main body is located in the installation groove and is provided with the crimping surface. The connecting part and the elastic member are arranged in the plug-in groove.

[0035] In this arrangement, the main body of the pressure head is arranged in the installation groove, the two connecting parts of the pressure head are respectively inserted in the two plug-in grooves of the connecting frame, and the elastic part is also accommodated in the plug-in groove, which is beneficial to improve the connection stability between the pressure head and the connecting frame, reduce the risk of the pressure head and the elastic part falling off, and also avoid damage to the elastic part, thereby improving the overall structural stability.

[0036] In one embodiment, the limiting structure includes a first block and a second block overlapping each other along the second direction, and the first block and the second block are enclosed to form the insertion groove.

[0037] This arrangement can facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the pressure head and the elastic member by separating the first block from the second block, thereby improving the convenience of disassembly and assembly.

[0038] In one embodiment, the pressing head assembly further includes a sleeve disposed on the connecting frame, the pressing head is provided with a mounting hole, the sleeve is inserted into the mounting hole, and the elastic member is located in the sleeve and the mounting hole.

[0039] This arrangement can guide and limit the pressure head through the cooperation of the sleeve and the mounting hole, thereby preventing the pressure head from deflecting during the movement relative to the connecting frame; and arranging the elastic member in the sleeve and the mounting hole can also protect and limit the elastic member.

[0040] In one embodiment, the pressing head assembly further includes a guide column extending along the second direction, wherein the guide column is connected to the connecting frame and passes through the pressing head.

[0041] With this arrangement, when the pressing head moves along the second direction relative to the connecting frame, the guide column can guide and limit the pressing head to prevent the pressing head from deflecting during the movement relative to the connecting frame. The arrangement of the guide column can also improve the connection strength between the pressing head and the connecting frame and reduce the risk of the pressing head detaching from the connecting frame.

[0042] In one embodiment, the pressing head assembly further includes a detector, and the detector is configured to detect the degree of deformation of the elastic member, or to detect the moving distance of the pressing head relative to the connecting frame.

[0043] With this arrangement, when crimping the battery tab, the pressing head moves relative to the connecting frame and squeezes the elastic member; the detector can detect the compression distance or elastic pressure of the elastic member, or detect the movement distance of the pressing head relative to the connecting frame, so as to determine the pressure applied by the pressing head assembly to the battery tab, so as to stop pressing the pressing head assembly when the required pressure is reached, so as to avoid the pressing head assembly applying greater pressure to the battery tab.

[0044] In one embodiment, the pressure head is provided with an avoidance hole penetrating along the second direction.

[0045] With this arrangement, when the pressure head presses the battery bar, the avoidance hole is set corresponding to the welding position of the battery bar and the battery pole, and welding is performed in the avoidance hole area. At this time, the pressure head can be pressed around the welding position to improve the stability of pressing the battery bar.

With the continuous expansion of battery application fields, its market demand is also constantly expanding.

[0065] As the demand for battery capacity increases, in order to expand the capacity of the battery, multiple battery cells are usually connected in series or in parallel using battery tabs to form a battery module. When preparing the battery device, the tabs are welded together with the battery cells by welding equipment. Laser welding of the poles and tabs of the battery cells is a key process in the formation of battery modules. A battery module is composed of a plurality of battery cells arranged and combined. There will be certain errors in the assembly of battery cells and battery cells, and battery cells and tabs. Therefore, the positive and negative poles of each battery cell in the battery module must be tightly fitted and aligned with the tabs to achieve good welding between the battery module and the tabs.

[0066] In the related art, in order to improve the welding quality, a crimping tool is usually used to press and align the pole and the tab of the battery cell. However, for different models of battery cells, due to differences in structural design such as the thickness, width and pole position of the battery cells, when producing different battery devices, it is necessary to prepare multiple sets of crimping tools of different sizes. The crimping tool must be replaced according to the different battery cells, and the versatility of the crimping tool is poor.

[0067] Based on the above considerations, the utility model proposes a battery bar crimping tool 100, including a first bracket 1, a second bracket 2, a third bracket 3 and a plurality of press head assemblies 4, the second bracket 2 is slidably disposed on the first bracket 1, and the sliding direction of the second bracket 2 is the first direction X; the third bracket 3 is slidably disposed on the second bracket 2, and the sliding direction of the third bracket 3 is the second direction Y; a plurality of press head assemblies 4 are arranged side by side on the third bracket 3 along the third direction Z, the press head assembly 4 is provided with a crimping surface 4211, and the normal direction of the crimping surface 4211 is the second direction Y, at least one press head assembly 4 can be slidably disposed along the third direction Z, and the first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z intersect each other.

After adjusting the position of the pressing head assembly 4 along the third direction Z as required, the locking and releasing structure 5 can be used to fix the pressing head assembly 4 on the third bracket 3 to prevent the pressing head assembly 4 from sliding and shifting relative to the third bracket 3 when crimping the battery bar 202 and adjusting the position of the pressing head assembly 4 in the first direction X or the third direction Z, thereby ensuring that the pressing head assembly 4 can be accurately fixed at the desired position to accurately align the battery bar 202 during the process of crimping the battery bar 202.
