[0025] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure and technical effects generated by the present utility model in combination with the embodiments and the drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features and effects of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all embodiments.

At the same time, the air pipe elbow 4 is arranged at the side end of the suction head body 1, and the air pipe elbow 4 is used to connect the air source. The air pipe elbow 4 is communicated with the upper end of the air passage 11, and the suction nozzle 3 is communicated with the lower end of the air passage 11. During operation, the air source inputs negative pressure through the air pipe elbow 4 so that the suction head sucks the glue nails at the suction nozzle 3. At this time, the thimble 2 will not extend out due to the negative pressure and will not affect the nail suction operation at all. When there is a risk of crystallization of the electrolyte after sucking nails in a cycle for a certain number of times, the air source inputs positive pressure through the air pipe elbow 4 to push the thimble 2 out of the suction nozzle 3 to achieve the dredging effect, thereby avoiding the blockage of the suction nozzle 3 and reducing the probability of the pre-pressed nails having poor nail suction and causing the battery core to be NG.

[0027] Refer to Figures 2 to 4 , in the embodiment of the present invention, an inner card slot 12 is arranged at the lower end of the suction head body 1, and the upper end of the suction nozzle 3 is clamped in the inner card slot 12, so that the suction nozzle 3 is connected to the lower end of the suction head body 1; a clamping block 31 is arranged at the upper end of the suction nozzle 3, and the clamping block 31 is clamped in the inner card slot 12 for preliminary positioning connection.

A through hole 51 is arranged in the middle of the guiding piece 5, and the thimble 2 penetrates through the through hole 51, so that the guiding piece 5 plays a certain guiding role for the thimble 2 to ensure that the thimble 2 is accurately pushed out of the suction nozzle 3 to achieve a good dredging effect; the guiding piece 5 is arranged in a triangular structure, and a ventilation port is formed between the guiding piece 5 and the inner wall of the air passage 11, which can ensure the air flow and ensure the effect of negative pressure nail suction.

[0029] Specifically, a sealing groove 13 is further provided at the lower end of the suction head body 1. A seal 6 is arranged in the sealing groove 13, and the seal 6 is sealingly connected between the suction head body 1 and the suction nozzle 3 to ensure that the connection between the suction nozzle 3 and the suction head body 1 is completely sealed, avoiding air leakage and affecting the nail suction effect.

[0030] Referring Figure 3 , in the embodiment of the present utility model, the ejector pin 2 includes a pin body 21 and a pin head 22. A nail suction hole 33 is provided at the lower end of the suction nozzle 3.

The upper end of the tapered cavity 34 is communicated with the air passage 11, and the lower end of the tapered cavity 34 is communicated with the nail suction hole 33. The tapered design helps the smooth flow of air, and plays a certain guiding and accelerating role for the ejector pin 2; the nail suction hole 33, the through hole 51 of the guiding piece 5 and the ejector pin 2 are on the same central axis, and the ejector pin 2 is accurately pushed out from the nail suction hole 33 of the suction nozzle 3 through positive pressure to achieve the dredging effect; the pin head 22 is arranged as a tapered pin head, and the tapered pin head is inserted into the tapered cavity 34, so that the mating surface of the pin head 22 is larger, increasing the stability of the telescopic movement of the ejector pin 2.

[0032] Working principle of the present utility model: The pre-pressing and nail suction structure of this embodiment is mainly applied to the pre-pressing nail module equipment of the square shell battery liquid injection machine. When the battery cell after the previous liquid injection reaches the pre-pressing nail station, the manipulator head sucks the glue nail to the liquid injection port of the battery cell and presses the nail up and down to complete the nail pressing work. And because only negative pressure is used for the nail suction action, the ejector pin 2 will not fall out during normal work and does not affect the nail suction operation; after several groups of production, the electrolyte remaining at the nail suction hole 33 of the suction nozzle 3 will crystallize and block the suction nozzle 3, causing the suction head to lose its function. At this time, the positive pressure output can be switched to make the ejector pin 2 push out from the nail suction hole 33 of the suction nozzle 3 to achieve the effect of penetrating the suction nozzle 3, thereby effectively dredging the suction nozzle 3, avoiding the situation of poor nail suction caused by the blockage of the suction nozzle due to electrolyte crystallization, and reducing the probability of the battery cell being NG due to poor nail suction during pre-pressing.
