The production of lithium batteries includes a pole piece manufacturing process, a battery assembly process, and finally a liquid injection, pre-charging, formation, and aging process. The basic process of liquid injection is to connect the battery liquid injection hole to a vacuum system, evacuate to form a negative pressure inside the battery case, and the electrolyte enters the battery through a liquid injection tube under the action of the negative pressure.

The upper end of the support plate is fixedly connected with a connecting column, and the upper end of the connecting column is fixedly connected with a stirring tank. The first motor is arranged at the upper end of the stirring tank.

[0004] In the above device, when the piston in the liquid injection cylinder rises, a negative pressure is formed in the liquid injection cylinder. After sucking the electrolyte from the stirring tank into the liquid injection cylinder, by rotating the second motor to control any one of the rotating rods to rotate, the left and right rotating rods are driven by a synchronous belt to control the left and right third gears to rotate. The toothed areas of the left and right third gears will respectively engage with the left and right tooth rails of the push rod periodically, controlling the push rod to move up and down periodically to realize the pushing process of the electrolyte. However, the rising height of the piston is fixed under the influence of the third gear and the push rod, resulting in a fixed suction volume of the electrolyte by the liquid injection cylinder, so that the liquid injection cylinder can only inject the electrolyte into a lithium battery case with a fixed size once.

Two second chutes 24 parallel to the electric guide rail 19 are symmetrically formed on the upper surface of the support frame 21. The adjusting block 18 is arranged in the support frame 21 and passes upward through the second chute 24, and two adjusting blocks 18 in the second chute 24 are symmetrically arranged. The clamping plate 16 is slidably connected to the upper end of the support frame 21 and two clamping plates 16 are symmetrically arranged, and the lower end of the clamping plate 16 is fixedly connected to the adjusting block 18. The second guide post 22 and the bidirectional lead screw 23 are respectively arranged below the middle parts of the two second chutes 24, and the second guide post 22 and the bidirectional lead screw 23 are located inside the support frame 21 and are rotatably connected to the support frame 21. The second motor 17 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the support frame 21, and the output end of the second motor 17 is fixedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw 12. The second guide post 22 passes through the adjusting block 18 and is slidably connected to the adjusting block 18. The bidirectional lead screw 23 passes through the middle part of the adjusting block 18 and is threadedly connected to the adjusting block 18, and the two adjusting blocks 18 in the second chute 24 are respectively located on the two thread directions of the bidirectional lead screw 12. The second motor 17 controls the rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 23, so that the adjusting block 18 drives the clamping plate 16 to fix the lithium battery shell. The electric guide rail 19 moves the support frame 21 on the support platform 20, and cooperates with the first motor 6 to drive the lead screw 12 to rotate to move the fixing mechanism 7, so that when the fixing mechanism 7 fixes lithium battery shells of different sizes, the liquid injection port of the lithium battery shell can be moved directly below the liquid injection needle 29 of the liquid injection mechanism 8.

[0032] Working principle: When in use, place the lithium battery housing on the support frame 21 between the two clamping plates 16.

The electric guide rail 19 drives the support frame 21 and the lithium battery body to move on the fixing mechanism 7 in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the fixing mechanism 7. The recognition camera 28 detects the liquid injection port of the lithium battery housing until the liquid injection port of the lithium battery housing is directly below the liquid injection needle 29 of the liquid injection mechanism 8. The electric push rod 10 pushes the liquid injection mechanism 8 downward, causing the liquid injection needle 29 to enter the liquid injection port of the lithium battery housing. The third motor 40 drives the small sprocket 41 to rotate. The transmission of the transmission chain 36 causes the small sprocket 41 to drive the large sprocket 37 to rotate. The large sprocket 37 drives the screw 32 to rotate, causing the screw 32 to push the piston 34 to move in the liquid injection cylinder 30 away from the first one-way valve 31 and the second one-way valve 35, sucking the electrolyte in the electrolyte tank 1 into the liquid injection cylinder 30 through the connecting hose 9 and the first one-way valve 31. Then, the third motor 40 causes the small sprocket 41 to rotate. After the transmission of the transmission chain 36, the large sprocket 37 drives the screw 32 to rotate in the reverse direction. The piston 34 gradually resets and pushes the electrolyte in the liquid injection cylinder 30 to be stably injected into the lithium battery housing through the second one-way valve 35 and the liquid injection needle 29.
