Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of battery tooling, and particularly relates to a pressure-holding suction cup fixture for soft-pack batteries. Background Technique

[0002] Suction cup fixtures are popular in the field of automated production lines due to their low cost. Considering the factor of production cost in the original design, a single vacuum generator is used for each clamping unit. Since the risk of battery explosion is relatively high, in the lithium battery industry, production safety is a key point in equipment manufacturing. In the existing technology, in the case of air leakage or air cut-off, only a one-way valve is used to achieve the pressure-holding function to meet the basic requirements. For example, in the existing technology, there are a total of eight suction cups in the fixture, and every four suction cups can clamp a soft-pack battery. Four vacuum suction cups with one-way valves are used within a single clamping unit. The pipe interfaces of the four suction cups are converted into one pipe interface through three Y-shaped adapters and connected to the vacuum generator, and the pneumatic circuit is relatively simple. When the vacuum generator fails, a single pneumatic circuit cannot ensure a vacuum environment. At this time, only the one-way valves of the four suction cups are relied on to block the air path to protect the vacuum state inside the suction cups, and the safety is insufficient.
