[0025] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 The automatic smoothing device is used to automatically complete the battery cell smoothing process. Battery cell smoothing is a process in the production process of lithium batteries. It is used to process the edges of battery cells to ensure that the appearance of the battery cells meets the relevant requirements. Through smoothing, not only can the edges of the battery cells be made smoother and the appearance more neat and beautiful, but also the sharp and irregular parts of the edges of the battery cells can be removed to reduce the damage or safety hazards that may be caused to the battery cells during assembly or use. It can also make the edges of the battery cells flatter, which helps the battery cells to be more stable when assembled into battery modules to reduce the risk of extrusion or damage. It can also prevent the metal foil or conductive material on the edge of the battery cells from being exposed on the outer surface to reduce the internal resistance of the battery and improve battery performance.

[0026] Further, refer to Figure 1 The automatic smoothing device includes a storage table 100, which is used to place the battery cell 700 to be smoothed. The storage table 100 can be a conveyor belt of the previous workstation. When the battery cell 700 is unloaded from the previous process, it can be directly transported to the corresponding position through the conveyor belt for automatic smoothing operation.

[0027] Further, refer to Figure 1The smoothing plate 300 is used to press down the protruding edge of the battery cell 700 to achieve the smoothing of the battery cell. The smoothing plate 300 is fixed at the output end of the first adjustment component 500. The first adjustment component 500 can drive the smoothing plate 300 to move forward and backward relative to the battery cell 700, thereby achieving the position adjustment of the smoothing plate 300 in the horizontal direction. The first adjustment component 500 is fixed at the output end of the second adjustment component 600. The second adjustment component 600 can drive the first adjustment component 500 to move up and down relative to the battery cell 700, thereby driving the smoothing plate 300 to move up and down relative to the battery cell 700, thereby achieving the position adjustment of the smoothing plate 300 in the vertical direction.

[0028] Further, refer to Figure 1 The clamping assembly 400 is disposed on the mounting plate 200 and is partially located above the storage table 100, so as to clamp the battery cell 700 to be smoothed, thereby preventing the battery cell 700 body from being displaced by the force of the first adjustment assembly 500 and the second adjustment assembly 600 during the smoothing process.

[0029] Among them, reference Figure 1 When the battery cell 700 arrives, the battery cell 700 is conveyed to the storage table 100, and the clamping component 400 partially moves downward and abuts against the top of the battery cell 700 to clamp the battery cell 700, and the first adjustment component 500 drives the smoothing plate 300 to move forward and moves to a side position of the battery cell 700 to be smoothed, and the second adjustment component 600 drives the smoothing plate 300 to move downward to press down the protruding part of the side of the battery cell 700 to complete the smoothing. When the smoothing is completed, the second adjustment component 600 drives the smoothing plate 300 to move upward, the first adjustment component 500 drives the first adjustment component 500 and the smoothing plate 300 to move backward, and the clamping component 400 moves upward, so that the automatic smoothing device returns to the initial position to wait for the next battery cell 700 to be smoothed.
