Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of extrusion devices, in particular to a visual battery extrusion device. Background Art

[0002] In the existing lithium battery pack module, multiple single cells are usually arranged in sequence and closely attached to each other, and then bundled through end plates and side plates by an extrusion tooling. During the assembly process of the battery pack, it is necessary to detect the cells to check whether the external dimension data of the cells meets the requirements. Among them, it is necessary to detect the appearance of the cells. During the actual detection process, in order to ensure that the cells can be installed in a predetermined installation space, it is necessary to detect whether the overall dimensions of the cells meet the regulations.

[0003] Publication (Announcement) Number: CN220145748U, a module extrusion tooling, including a cylinder, the output end of the cylinder is movably connected to the outer wall of a push rod, one side of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of an operation platform through a fixed plate, the top of the operation platform far away from the cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom of a control box, and the outer wall of the control box is fixedly connected to a pressure gauge through bolts. By using the cylinder to control and set a minimum value and a maximum value for the specified pre-tightening force of the cell module body, the maximum value cannot exceed the specified pre-tightening force of the cell module body. When the cylinder extrudes the cell module body and reaches the specified dimensional position, as long as the pre-tightening force displayed on the pre-tightening force detection device is within the set range, and at the same time, the green light on the control box display lights up to indicate qualified. At this time, the two side plates are fastened to maintain the pre-tightening force released after the cell module body is grouped, which brings convenience to the use of the staff.

[0004] For a module extrusion tooling with the above structure, it can only customize the dimensional requirements of the cell module body through the magnetic switch on the cylinder.

Extrusion plates 14 are respectively arranged on the side surface of the base 7 and the end of the telescopic rod 13 far from the electric cylinder 11. A side limiting plate 8 is arranged on the top surface of the frame 1. The side limiting plate 8 extends along the length direction of the frame 1. The area between the extrusion plate 14 and the side limiting plate 8 forms a placement area 18. By setting the placement area 18, the bundled battery cells 19 can be placed, facilitating the subsequent extrusion of the battery cells 19 by the extrusion power mechanism 2. An industrial camera 3 is installed on the top surface of the frame 1 through a fixed rod 17. The industrial camera 3 is located above the placement area 18. After the battery cells 19 are bundled and placed in the placement area 18, the electric cylinder 11 drives the telescopic rod 13 and the extrusion plate 14 to move to extrude the placement area 18. The industrial camera 3 detects the extruded battery cells 19. The side limiting plate 8 extends along the length direction of the frame 1, effectively restricting the lateral movement of the battery cells 19 during the extrusion process, ensuring the directionality and consistency of the extrusion operation, helping to prevent the battery cells 19 from shifting during the extrusion process, and improving the accuracy of the operation.

After the arrangement is completed, the extrusion power mechanism 2 is started, and the electric cylinder 11 drives the telescopic rod 13 and the extrusion plate 14 to move to extrude the placement area 18.
