The upper cover hemming and pressure-holding part, the bottom film hemming and pressure-holding part and the secondary film-attaching hemming and pressure-holding part can all ensure that the pressure of the pressure-holding part is constant, thereby improving the yield of hemming.

[0037] As Figures 1-2 shown, in some embodiments, the upper cover hemming and pressure-holding part includes a first cylinder 32 and a first pressure-holding head 33. The first cylinder 32 is mounted on the first mounting frame 31. The telescopic end of the first cylinder 32 passes through the first mounting frame 31 and is connected to the first pressure-holding head 33. The telescopic movement of the first cylinder 32 drives the first pressure-holding head 33 to move.

The first pressure-holding head 33 performs hemming on the upper cover of the film-attached battery. After hemming, the first cylinder 32 stops telescoping, so that the pressure-holding head applies a certain pressure to the upper cover of the battery to perform pressure-holding treatment on the upper cover of the battery.

[0038] As Figures 1-2As shown, in some embodiments, the bottom film hemming pressure-holding part includes a second pressure-holding head 35 and a connecting block 34. The second pressure-holding head 35 and the first pressure-holding head 33 are connected by the connecting block 34, so that the telescopic movement of the first cylinder 32 drives the movement of the second pressure-holding head 35. When hemming the upper cover, the first cylinder 32 drives the first pressure-holding head 33 to move.

The first pressure-holding head 33 performs hemming and pressure-holding on the battery upper cover, and the second pressure-holding head 35 performs hemming and pressure-holding on the battery bottom film.

[0040] It should be noted that elastic pads can be arranged on the sides of the first pressure-holding head 33 and the second pressure-holding head 35 close to the battery, so as to facilitate better hemming and at the same time play a protective role for the battery.

[0041] As Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, the secondary film-attaching hemming pressure-holding part includes a second cylinder 42 and a third pressure-holding head 43. The second cylinder 42 is installed on the second mounting bracket 41. The telescopic movement of the second cylinder 42 drives the movement of the third pressure-holding head 43. By the telescopic movement of the second cylinder 42, the third pressure-holding head 43 is driven to move. When the third pressure-holding head 43 moves to the film-attached battery, the third pressure-holding head 43 hemms the secondary film of the battery. After hemming, the second cylinder 42 stops telescoping, so that the third pressure-holding head 43 applies a certain pressure to the secondary film to perform a pressure-holding treatment on the secondary film.

By providing the guide rail 46 on the second mounting bracket 41, when the second cylinder 42 expands and contracts, it drives the connecting plate 44 to move. The connecting plate 44 drives the guide plate 45 to move. The guide plate 45 moves along the guide rail 46. The guide rail 46 can guide the guide plate 45, so that the guide plate 45 drives the third pressure maintaining head 43 to move along a specified direction.

[0043] As Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the third pressure maintaining head 43 includes a vertically formed part and a horizontally formed part which are integrally formed.

A plurality of the lifting rods 54 are fixedly connected to the top of the lifting plate 53. The lifting rods 54 are used to lift the battery tray and bear the battery tray. When it is necessary to adjust the position height of the battery, the lifting cylinder 52 expands and contracts to drive the lifting plate 53 to move in the vertical direction. The lifting rods 54 move together with the lifting plate 53. The lifting plate 53 drives the battery tray to move, so as to realize the adjustment of the position height of the battery.

[0046] As Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the lifting mechanism 5 further includes a guide rod 56 and a linear bearing 55. The linear bearing 55 is installed on the third mounting bracket 51. The guide rod 56 is engaged with the linear bearing 55. The top end of the guide rod 56 is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 53. By providing the guide rod 56 and the linear bearing 55, the linear bearing 55 passes through the third mounting bracket 51, and the guide rod 56 passes through the linear bearing 55 and is connected to the lifting plate 53. When the lifting cylinder 52 expands and contracts to drive the lifting plate 53 to move, the lifting plate 53 drives the guide rod 56 to move along the linear bearing 55, and the linear bearing 55 can play a guiding role.

[0047] As Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the device further includes a lifting limit mechanism 6. The lifting limit mechanism 6 is arranged directly above the lifting mechanism 5. The lifting limit mechanism 6 includes a limit cylinder 61 and a limit baffle 62.
