Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of battery production, and particularly relates to a battery production station. Background Art

[0002] During the manufacturing process of new energy batteries, the activity of the battery is activated by charging the battery. During the continuous charging process, chemical reactions occur inside the battery, generating gas. If these gases cannot be sucked out in time, the battery will bulge due to the internal and external pressure difference, affecting the yield rate and reducing the production capacity. Therefore, a negative pressure nozzle is equipped for each battery using a negative pressure component, and continuous suction is performed during the formation process. Since the electrolyte crystallizes severely in a high-temperature environment, it is easy to cause blockage of the negative pressure formation nozzle. In addition, during the frequent operation of the negative pressure component, its airtightness cannot be ensured. Therefore, usually after the battery formation, the negative pressure component needs to be removed and tested, specifically leak detection and blockage detection. Currently, a docking component is often directly integrated in the workstation and directly docked with the negative pressure nozzle of the negative pressure component for testing and cleaning. However, the docking component is in an open state, which easily causes dust and the like to enter, resulting in blockage of the outlet of the docking component and affecting the test.

Detailed implementation manners

[0040] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0041] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus cannot be understood as a limitation to the present application. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features. In the description of the present application, "a plurality of" means two or more, and at least one means it can be one, two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined. In the description of the present application, "vertical" means completely vertical at 90° or almost completely vertical. For example, within the range of an included angle of 80° to 100°, it is considered vertical. Similarly, "parallel" means completely parallel or almost completely parallel. For example, within the range of 10° of complete parallelism, it is considered parallel.

[0042] It should also be noted that in the accompanying drawings of the present application, an arrow labeled Y is used to represent the first direction Y, and an arrow labeled X is used to represent the second direction X. The first direction Y is the direction in which the first driving structure drives the docking component to move, and the second direction X is the direction in which the shielding component moves. The introduction of the first direction Y and the second direction X is to facilitate the description of the structural position relationship of the components of the battery production station, as well as the movement relationship of the docking component and the shielding component, thereby facilitating the understanding of its structure.

[0043] The applicant has noticed that during the battery production process, a negative pressure component is required to continuously provide a negative pressure environment to continuously suck out the gas generated by the reaction inside the battery. However, while the negative pressure component continuously sucks out the reaction gas, some electrolyte will be carried into the negative pressure component by the gas, and the temperature is relatively high during the battery production process. At high temperatures, the electrolyte is prone to crystallization, and the crystallized electrolyte at this time is likely to cause blockage of the suction nozzle of the negative pressure component. Therefore, in order to ensure the continuous use of the negative pressure component during the production of line batteries, the negative pressure component is often tested after battery production to test whether there is a blockage, and at the same time, whether there is air leakage after continuous use is also detected. When the negative pressure component is blocked, the negative pressure component also needs to be cleaned. The existing docking components are usually integrated in the battery production station, which reduces the space occupation and can improve work efficiency and save the time for transferring the negative pressure component. However, the existing docking components are in an open state, and during the battery production process, it is very easy for dust or foreign objects to enter the docking component and cause blockage of the docking component.

[0044] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a battery production station, aiming to solve the above problems.

[0045] Please refer to Figures 1 - 9 , a battery production station according to an embodiment of the present application includes a support base 1, a first driving part 2, a docking component 3, a shielding component 4, and a limiting part 5. The first driving part 2 is connected to the support base 1, the docking component 3 is connected to the output end of the first driving part 2, the first driving part 2 drives the docking component 3 to move along the first direction Y, the shielding component 4 is movably connected to the docking component 3 so that the shielding component 4 can move relative to the docking component 3, and the limiting part 5 is connected to the support base 1; when the docking component 3 moves along the first direction Y, the limiting part 5 cooperates with the shielding component 4 so that at least part of the projection of the shielding component 4 on the support base 1 along the first direction Y covers the docking component 3, and the shielding component 4 moves away from the docking component 3 along the second direction X.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present application, through the mutual cooperation of the first driving part 2, the docking component 3, the shielding component 4 and the limiting part 5, when the docking component 3 moves away from the support base 1, the shielding component 4 is automatically opened to expose the docking component, so that the docking component 3 can be docked with the negative pressure component. When the docking component 3 approaches the support base 1, the shielding component 4 automatically shields the docking component 3, which has a good dust-proof effect, and the overall structure is simple, effectively reducing the failure rate of the shielding component 4.

[0047] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, a shielding component 4 is provided to shield the docking component 3 to achieve a dust-proof effect and prevent the docking component 3 from being blocked. Among them, the shielding component 4 can move in the second direction X, and the shielding component 4 cooperates with the limiting member to control the movement of the shielding component 4 in the second direction X. When the docking component 3 rises, the shielding component 4 moves away from the docking component 3. When the docking component 3 descends, the shielding component 4 shields the docking component 3, realizing that the shielding component 4 automatically shields or does not shield the docking component 3 as the docking component 3 moves. Using a mechanical structure to control the shielding component 4 effectively reduces the failure rate of the shielding component 4 compared with electrical control.

[0048] The support base 1 is used to support and fix the first driving part 2, providing a fixed fulcrum for the first driving part 2 to ensure that the output end of the first driving part 2 can move smoothly. Among them, the first driving part 2 can be a driving member such as a cylinder. One end of the telescopic rod of the cylinder away from the cylinder body is the output end, which is used to connect with the docking component 3. Through the telescopic movement of the telescopic rod, the reciprocating movement of the docking component 3 can be driven. The shielding component 4 is movably connected to the docking component 3 and can move closer to or away from the docking component 3 relative to the docking component 3 in the second direction X. Specifically, when the docking component 3 moves away from the support base 1 in the first direction Y, the shielding component 4 moves away from the docking component 3 in the second direction X. When the docking component 3 moves closer to the support base 1 in the first direction Y, the shielding component 4 moves closer to the docking component 3 in the second direction X and finally shields the docking component 3. The shielding component 4 shields the docking component 3 mainly on the side of the docking component 3 facing away from the support base 1. Therefore, during testing, it is mainly the side of the docking component 3 facing away from the support base 1 that is docked with the suction nozzle of the negative pressure component for leak detection and blockage detection. Therefore, the present application provides a shielding component 4 to shield the side of the docking component 3 facing away from the support base 1.

[0049] It should be noted that since the docking component 3 is movably connected to the shielding component 4, the shielding component 4 can move relative to the docking component 3. Therefore, the present application provides a limiting portion 5 for controlling the movement of the shielding component 4 along the second direction X. Specifically, when the shielding component 4 moves away from the support base 1 along the first direction Y with the docking component 3, the limiting portion 5 gradually releases the limiting control of the shielding component 4, enabling the shielding component 4 to move along the second direction X away from the docking component 3; when the shielding component 4 moves closer to the support base 1 along the first direction Y with the docking component 3, the shielding component 4 contacts the limiting portion 5 and during the continuous approach to the support base 1, the limiting portion 5 controls the shielding component 4 to move along the second direction X towards the docking component 3 and gradually shields the side of the docking component 3 facing away from the support base 1, achieving dust-proof protection for the docking component 3.

[0050] Certainly, in the embodiment of the present application, the support base 1 can be arranged below the docking component 3, so that the output end of the first driving portion 2 can drive the docking component 3 to move up and down along the first direction Y, that is, the height direction. In this way, the first driving portion 2 can be used to realize the lifting and lowering of the docking component 3 in the first direction Y. Further, at this time, the shielding component 4 can move horizontally, and more specifically, it can move in a direction perpendicular to the docking component 3 on a horizontal plane.

[0051] It should also be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the docking component 3 and the shielding component 4 are movably connected, which can be a sliding connection between the two, or other movable connection methods that enable the shielding component 4 to move along the second direction X.

[0052] It should also be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the projection of the shielding component 4 on the support base 1 along the first direction Y at least partially covers the docking component 3, and at this time, the shielding component 4 can partially shield the docking component 3, specifically, on the side of the docking component 3 facing away from the support base 1.

[0053] In addition, it should be noted that the battery production workstation of the present application can be used in the cleaning and testing process of the negative pressure component on the one hand, in the battery formation process on the other hand, and also in the process of assembling and disassembling the negative pressure component trays. In the above processes, the battery production workstation of the present application can be integrated, thereby improving the application flexibility of the battery production workstation of the present application and reducing the cost of battery production equipment.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figures 4 - 9 , in some embodiments, the battery production workstation further includes a guiding portion 6. The guiding portion 6 extends along the second direction X and is connected to the shielding component 4. The guiding portion 6 is movably connected to the docking component 3 so that the shielding component 4 can move along the second direction X; wherein, the first direction Y and the second direction X intersect.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, the guiding portion 6 is used to guide the shielding component 4 to move in the second direction X, so that the shielding component 4 moves along the guiding portion 6 in the second direction X, avoiding the deviation of the shielding component 4, thereby ensuring that the shielding component 4 can smoothly shield the docking component 3, and can smoothly cooperate with the limiting portion 5 for limiting during the movement of the docking component 3 to control the moving direction of the shielding component 4.

[0056] Please refer to Figures 4 - 7 , in some embodiments, the shielding component 4 includes a shielding portion 41 and an elastic member 42. The shielding portion 41 is connected to the guiding portion 6. The elastic member 42 is disposed between the shielding portion 41 and the docking component 3 in a telescopic manner along the second direction X, and is respectively connected to the shielding portion 41 and the docking component 3. The shielding portion 41 is used to move along the second direction X to shield or expose the docking component 3. The elastic member 42 is used to drive the shielding portion 41 to move away from the docking component 3 along the second direction X when the docking component 3 moves away from the support base 1 along the first direction Y.

[0057] Wherein, when the elastic member 42 is compressed between the shielding portion 41 and the docking component 3 along the second direction X, at least a part of the projection of the shielding portion 41 on the support base 1 in the first direction Y covers the docking component 3; when the elastic member 42 extends between the shielding portion 41 and the docking component 3 along the second direction X, the shielding portion 41 moves away from the docking component 3 along the second direction X.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present application, the elastic member 42 is used to provide a driving force for the shielding portion 41 to move away from the docking component 3 along the second direction X. Thus, when the first driving portion 2 drives the docking component 3 to move away from the support base 1, the elastic member 42 drives the shielding portion 41 to move in the direction away from the docking component 3 along the second direction X.

[0059] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the elastic member 42 can be compressed and reset in the second direction X, so as to realize the movement of the shielding portion 41 in the second direction X. By using the elastic member 42 as the driving member, the driving of the shielding portion 41 can be realized by the self-driving mode of the mechanical structure. Compared with the electrical driving, the driving structure is simpler and the failure rate is lower; with the cooperation of the limiting portion 5, the movement of the shielding portion 41 can be automatically realized only by driving the docking assembly 3 to move by the first driving portion 2. Specifically, when the elastic member 42 is compressed, the shielding portion 41 shields the side of the docking assembly 3 away from the support base 1. When the elastic member 42 is reset to the uncompressed state, the shielding portion 41 moves away from the docking assembly 3, exposing the docking assembly 3. More specifically, the elastic member 42 and the limiting portion 5 cooperate. When the docking assembly 3 descends with the first driving portion 2, the limiting portion 5 is used to cooperate with the shielding assembly 4 to provide a thrust for the shielding portion 41 to move towards the docking assembly 3. At this time, this thrust overcomes the elastic force of the elastic member 42 to compress the elastic member 42, so that the shielding portion 41 moves towards the docking assembly 3, and then shields the docking assembly 3.

[0060] Please refer to Figures 7 - 9 , in some embodiments, the shielding assembly 4 further includes a rolling member 43, and the rolling member 43 is connected to the guiding portion 6 and extends towards the support base 1; the rolling member 43 is in rolling cooperation with the limiting portion 5 to enable the shielding portion 41 to move along the second direction X.

[0061] In this embodiment, by setting the rolling member 43 and the limiting portion 5 to cooperate, and cooperating with the first driving portion 2 to drive the docking assembly 3 to rise and fall, the rolling member 43 of the shielding assembly 4 can be made to roll on the limiting portion 5, so as to drive the guiding portion 6 to move along the second direction X by the rolling member 43. At the same time, the guiding portion 6 drives the shielding portion 41 to move along the second direction X, thereby realizing the shielding of the docking assembly 3 or exposing the docking assembly 3.

[0062] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the rolling member 43 can be a guide wheel, which is connected to the guiding portion 6 to realize the follow-up movement of the rolling member 43 and the guiding portion 6. During the process of the docking assembly 3 moving away from the support base 1, the limiting portion 5 gradually releases the limitation on the rolling member 43. At this time, the thrust of the elastic member 42 on the docking assembly 3 is reduced, and the elastic member 42 gradually resets and extends, pushing the shielding portion 41 to move away from the docking assembly 3. The shielding portion 41 drives the guiding portion 6 to move along the second direction X, and the guiding portion 6 drives the rolling member 43 to roll along the limiting portion 5 away from the docking assembly 3 until the rolling member 43 completely disengages from the limiting portion 5. At this time, the shielding portion 41 also stops moving. When the docking assembly 3 continues to move away from the support base 1 at this time, the shielding portion 41 will not move anymore. During the process of the docking assembly 3 moving towards the support base 1, the docking assembly 3 drives the shielding assembly 4 to descend. When the rolling member 43 contacts the limiting portion 5, the limiting portion 5 converts a part of the force of the first driving portion 2 pointing towards the support base 1 along the first direction Y into a thrust that pushes the rolling member 43 towards the docking assembly 3 along the second direction X. Thus, the rolling member 43 moves towards the support base 1 relative to the second limiting portion 5, and at the same time, the rolling member 43 is pushed to move along the second direction X towards the docking assembly 3. The rolling member 43 drives the guiding portion 6 to move along the second direction X, so that the guiding portion 6 drives the shielding portion 41 to move towards the docking assembly 3 and finally shields the docking assembly 3.

[0063] As Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, in some embodiments, the limiting portion 5 includes a guiding surface 51, which is inclined towards the support base 1 along the direction in which the shielding portion 41 moves towards the docking assembly 3; when the docking assembly 3 moves along the first direction Y, the rolling member 43 can be in rolling connection with the guiding surface 51 so that the shielding portion 41 moves along the second direction X.

[0064] In the embodiments of the present application, by providing the guiding surface 51, it is possible to realize that under the combined action of the first driving portion 2 and the elastic member 42, the rolling member 43 rolls on the guiding surface 51, thereby realizing the control of the movement of the shielding portion 41 on the second defense line. Specifically, through the cooperation of the guiding surface 51 and the rolling member 43, it is possible to drive the shielding portion 41 to shield the docking assembly 3 along the second direction X without affecting the movement of the docking assembly 3.

[0065] As Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, in some embodiments, the limiting portion 5 further includes a limiting surface 52, which extends along the first direction Y away from the support base 1 and intersects with the side of the guiding surface 51 close to the support base 1. The limiting surface 52 abuts against the rolling member 43 when the projection of the shielding portion 41 on the support base 1 along the first direction Y completely covers the docking assembly 3.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, the provision of the limiting surface 52 means that the projection of the shielding portion 41 on the support base 1 in the first direction Y completely covers the docking component 3, which means that the shielding portion 41 completely shields the docking component 3. At this time, the limiting surface 52 abuts against the roller, thereby giving the roller sufficient thrust to keep the shielding portion 41 in the shielding state all the time, which is equivalent to locking the docking component 3, so as to ensure the shielding state of the shielding component 4 and the dust-proof effect.

[0067] As Figures 7 - 9 shown, in some embodiments, the docking component 3 includes a first fixing plate 31 and a docking portion 32. The docking portion 32 is connected to the side of the first fixing plate 31 facing away from the support base 1. The docking portion 32 is used to dock with the suction nozzle of the negative pressure component; the docking component 3 has a docking channel 33, and the docking channel 33 penetrates through the first fixing plate 31 and the docking portion 32 along the first direction Y; the shielding portion 41 can move along the second direction X so that the projection of the shielding portion 41 on the support base 1 in the first direction Y at least partially covers the docking channel 33 and exposes the docking channel 33. When the docking channel is exposed, it can be communicated with the suction nozzle when the docking portion 32 is docked with the suction nozzle.

[0068] In the embodiment of the present application, the first fixing plate 31 is used for movably connecting with the guiding portion 6, and the docking portion 32 is used for docking with the suction nozzle of the negative pressure component, so as to realize the leak detection and cleaning of the negative pressure component. The docking channel 33 penetrates through the first fixing plate 31 and the docking portion 32 along the first direction Y, so that devices such as a control valve and a flow meter can be arranged on the side of the first fixing plate 31 away from the docking portion 32. When the docking portion 32 docks with the suction nozzle of the negative pressure component and the negative pressure component provides negative pressure for continuous air extraction, the following operations can be performed at this time: use the control valve to control the closing of the docking channel 33, and at this time, the leak detection operation of the negative pressure component can be performed; open the docking channel 33 and turn on the flow meter. At this time, by observing the flow rate of the flow meter when the negative pressure component is running, it is judged whether the suction nozzle of the negative pressure component is blocked; in addition, the negative pressure component can also be cleaned by connecting clean water to the docking channel 33. Of course, in order to keep the docking channel 33 unobstructed, the present application uses the shielding portion 41 to automatically shield the docking channel 33 when the docking component 3 descends, playing a dust-proof role.

[0069] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the first fixing plate 31 and the docking portion 32 can be detachably connected or integrally connected. When the first fixing plate 31 and the docking portion 32 are integrally connected, the outer shape structure can be directly stamped or milled by a machine tool, and the docking channel 33 is opened to penetrate through the first fixing plate 31 and the docking portion 32 along the first direction Y. The docking component 3 with this structure has a simple and stable structure, is easy to implement, and reduces the assembly steps.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 3 、 Figures 6 - 9, in some embodiments, the docking assembly 3 further includes a bearing portion 36. The bearing portion 36 is connected to the side of the first fixing plate 31 facing away from the support base 1. The bearing portion 36 is connected to the output end of the first driving portion 2. The bearing portion 36 has a through hole 361. At least part of the docking portion 32 and the shielding portion 41 are inserted into the through hole 361, and the shielding portion 41 can move in the through hole 361 along the second direction X.

[0071] In the embodiments of the present application, by providing the bearing portion 36, when the battery production station of the present application is applied to the battery pack disassembly and assembly process, a support platform can be provided for the tray, so as to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the tray and the negative pressure assembly. In addition, the through hole 361 is provided in the bearing portion 36, and the shielding portion 41 and the docking portion 32 can be accommodated in the through hole 361, so that the shielding portion 41 moves in the range of the through hole 361 along the second direction X to shield or expose the docking channel 33.

[0072] In the embodiments of the present application, by providing a through hole in the bearing portion, it can be used for both disassembly and assembly of the tray and for testing and cleaning of the negative pressure assembly, and can shield the docking assembly from dust when the negative pressure assembly is not being tested and cleaned.

[0073] As Figure 5 shown, in some embodiments, the docking assembly 3 further has a guiding channel 34. The guiding channel 34 penetrates through the first fixing plate 31 along the second direction X; the docking assembly 3 further includes a guiding sleeve 35. At least part of the guiding sleeve 35 is inserted into the guiding channel 34 and is connected to the first fixing plate 31; the guiding portion 6 includes a guiding rod 61. The guiding rod 61 is slidably inserted into the guiding sleeve 35.

[0074] In the embodiments of the present application, by providing the guiding channel 34 extending along the second direction X on the docking assembly 3 and providing the guiding sleeve 35 in a matching manner, the sliding connection between the guiding rod 61 and the first fixing plate 31 can be realized. The guiding rod 61 passes through the middle of the first fixing plate 31, which can save space along the first direction Y, thereby reducing the volume of the station. In addition, by directly perforating the middle of the first fixing plate 31, an effective connection between the guiding rod 61 and the first fixing plate 31 can be achieved, avoiding loosening of the connection between the first fixing plate 31 and the guiding rod 61 during frequent use.

[0075] In addition, it should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present application, the guiding sleeve 35 can be a linear bearing that plays a guiding role, and the guiding rod 61 can be a linear guide rod. The guiding rod 61 is slidably connected to the guiding sleeve 35, which can keep the movement line of the guiding rod 61 unchanged and reduce the possibility of the guiding rod 61 getting stuck when moving along the second direction X.

[0076] In some embodiments, the docking assembly 3 includes a plurality of docking parts 32 and has a plurality of docking channels 33. The plurality of docking parts 32 are arranged at intervals along the extending direction of the first fixing plate 31 and are respectively connected to the first fixing plate 31. Each docking channel 33 correspondingly penetrates through the first fixing plate 31 and one docking part 32; the shielding part 41 includes a plurality of shielding plates 411 and a second fixing plate 412. The second fixing plate 412 is connected to the guide rod 61. The second fixing plate 412 is arranged at an interval from the first fixing plate 31 along the second direction X. The elastic members 42 are respectively connected to the second fixing plate 412 and the first fixing plate 31; the plurality of shielding plates 411 are arranged at intervals and are connected to the second fixing plate 412. Each shielding plate 411 is correspondingly arranged with one docking part 32; the shielding plate 411 can move along with the second fixing plate 412 in the second direction X, so that the projection of the shielding plate 411 on the support base 1 in the first direction Y at least partially covers the docking channel 33, so that the shielding plate 411 at least partially shields the side of the docking channel 33 facing away from the support base 1, and the docking channel 33 is exposed; the bearing part 36 has a plurality of through holes 361. At least part of the docking part 32 and the shielding plate 411 are arranged in the through holes 361, and the shielding plate 411 can move in the through holes 361 along the second direction X.

[0077] Since, in order to improve the battery production efficiency, the negative pressure assembly usually has a plurality of negative pressure suction nozzles, correspondingly, the docking assembly 3 includes a plurality of docking parts 32 corresponding to the suction nozzles one by one. Through the combination of a first fixing plate 31 and a plurality of docking parts 32, the overall weight of the docking assembly 3 can be reduced, thereby reducing the driving burden of the first driving part 2. In addition, the shielding part 41 moves along with the docking assembly 3 and both move along the first direction Y under the drive of the first driving part 2. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the connection manner of the plurality of shielding plates 411 and the second fixing plate 412 is set, and only the shielding plate 411 is used to shield the docking part 32, which can avoid ineffective shielding and can reduce the overall weight of the shielding part 41, further reducing the driving burden of the first driving part 2.

[0078] It should be noted that since the first fixing plate 31 is connected to a plurality of docking parts 32 and the second fixing plate 412 is connected to a plurality of shielding plates 411, at this time, the first fixing plate 31 and the second fixing plate 412 are relatively long. Preferably, a plurality of elastic members 42 are connected between the first fixing plate 31 and the second fixing plate 412, and the plurality of elastic members 42 are arranged at intervals along the extending direction of the first fixing plate 31, so as to keep the elastic members 42 having sufficient driving force and the overall shielding part 41 can move smoothly.

[0079] The provision of multiple through holes 361 enables the first fixing plate 31 to be disposed in contact with the side of the bearing portion 36 facing the support base 1, thereby controlling the distance between the surface of the bearing portion 36 facing away from the support base 1 and the surface of the docking portion 32 facing away from the support base 1, providing a relatively uniform environment for the docking of multiple suction nozzles with multiple docking portions 32, and ensuring the accuracy of the test effects of each suction nozzle.

[0080] Further, in some embodiments, the battery production station includes a plurality of docking components 3 and a plurality of shielding components 4. The plurality of shielding components 4 and the plurality of docking components 3 are arranged at intervals along the second direction X and are alternately arranged in sequence.

[0081] That is, along the second direction X, one shielding component 4 is provided between two adjacent docking components 3, and one docking component 3 is provided between two adjacent shielding components 4. One docking component 3 is correspondingly arranged with one shielding component 4.

[0082] In the embodiments of the present application, the plurality of docking components 3 and the plurality of shielding components 4 cooperate in one-to-one correspondence to achieve a larger test range.

[0083] In some embodiments, a negative pressure component (not shown in the figure) is further included. The negative pressure component is arranged on the side of the docking component 3 away from the support base 1 along the first direction.

[0084] The battery production station of the embodiments of the present application can also be integrated with a negative pressure component. At this time, the negative pressure component can be directly fixed on the frame of the station, or the negative pressure component can be clamped and fixed by using a clamping device. The negative pressure component can be located on the side of the docking component 3 away from the support base 1. At this time, the docking component can be lifted up to be docked with the negative pressure component to realize the test and cleaning of the negative pressure component. The docking component can be lowered to be separated from the negative pressure component. The bearing portion can also be used to lift the tray and provide a negative pressure environment for the batteries in each tray of the negative pressure component group. After the end, the negative pressure component and the tray are disassembled.

[0085] It should be noted that the battery production station of the present application uses the docking component 3 to be docked with the negative pressure component to test or clean the negative pressure component. In addition, after the test or cleaning of the negative pressure component is completed, the docking component 3 retracts. At this time, the shielding component 4 automatically resets to shield the docking component 3, thereby protecting the docking component 3 and achieving a dust-proof effect to avoid blockage of the docking component 3.
