Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of battery processing, in particular to a diagonal edge welding nozzle for welding a soft-pack battery shell. Background Art

[0002] During the welding process of soft-pack batteries, a protective casing must be welded onto the outside of the battery to ensure the safety and stability of the battery cells. This protective casing not only protects the battery cells from external environmental factors such as mechanical impact and chemical corrosion, but also improves the overall performance and service life of the battery. However, existing battery welding protective nozzles have significant drawbacks in practical applications.

[0003] The diverse structure and size of soft-pack battery protective casings, particularly the long diagonal edges, place higher demands on welding processes. Existing battery welding nozzles are not well-suited to these long diagonal edges, making it difficult to precisely weld these edges. This not only affects welding quality and efficiency but can also lead to a loose connection between the protective casing and the battery cell, failing to achieve the desired protective effect.

[0014] As a further optimization of the diagonal welding nozzle for welding the soft-pack battery housing of the present utility model: An indicator mark is provided on the side of the support plate facing away from the telescopic cylinder, and the indicator mark is arranged corresponding to the angular groove.

[0021] In order to better understand the present invention, the content of the present invention is further explained below in conjunction with embodiments, but the content of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, a diagonal edge welding nozzle for welding a soft-pack battery shell has a supporting plate 1 and a welding nozzle 4. Two connectors 2 are designed on the supporting plate 1. The function of these two connectors 2 is to ensure the stability and accuracy of the welding nozzle 4. The welding nozzle 4 is set between the two connectors 2. When welding is required, the laser welding head will accurately pass through the welding nozzle 4 to perform efficient and accurate welding on the long diagonal edge of the battery shell. The design of the welding nozzle 4 is thoughtful, including a welding frame 401 connected to the connector 2 as a support. Its length is carefully calculated to be 1.2 times the length of the long diagonal edge to perfectly match the displacement of the welding head, thereby achieving efficient welding of the long diagonal edge of the shell.

[0023] A protective head 404 is provided at the end of the welding nozzle 4 facing away from the carrier plate 1. Figure 2 As shown, its cross-section exhibits a unique M-shaped structure. The center of the protective head 404 is connected to the central hole 202 of the welding frame 401, providing a smooth passage for the laser head to pass through and weld the corresponding long diagonal edge of the protective head 404. At the same time, the protective head 404 can effectively limit the dispersion of welding gas and the splash of welding slag, thereby protecting the operator and equipment.

[0024] To further improve the efficiency and safety of the welding process, a first gas guide frame 402 and a second gas guide frame 403 are sequentially provided between the protective head 404 and the end of the welding frame 401 facing away from the carrier plate 1, and both are connected to a protective gas transmission pipe. This design plays an auxiliary role in the process of laser head welding long diagonal edges, ensuring the smooth progress of the welding process. The gas outlets of the first gas guide frame 402 and the second gas guide frame 403 are both arranged toward the center of the protective head 404, so that they can stably impact the long diagonal edge welding position, thereby helping to ensure the welding quality of the long diagonal edge welding position. In addition, a through hole is opened in the welding frame 401 near the carrier plate 1. The through hole is arranged along the width direction of the welding frame 401, and the welding frame 401 is provided with a gas collecting pipe 3 connected to the through hole. The gas collecting pipe 3 is connected to a hose with negative pressure inside. This allows the harmful gases generated by welding to be effectively collected and centrally treated during the welding of the long diagonal edges of the shell, thereby protecting the battery processing environment and reducing potential harm to operators and the environment.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the connecting member 2 includes a support plate 201 vertically fixed to the supporting plate 1. The support plate 201 is not only provided with a center hole 202, but also with an angled slot 203 surrounding the center hole 202. These center hole 202 and the angled slot 203 are connected to a telescopic cylinder 206 via bolts. The telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 206 is connected to the welding frame 401. This design allows the operator to easily adjust the angle position of the telescopic cylinder 206 and the welding nozzle 4 to adapt to the welding operation of shells of different heights. The side of the support plate 201 facing away from the telescopic cylinder 206 is provided with an indicator mark 205 corresponding to the angled slot 203. The design of the indicator mark 205 allows the operator to relatively quickly adjust the angle of the protective head 404 to the appropriate position, improving the working efficiency. In actual use, the two telescopic cylinders 206 can retract during the shell flipping process, effectively reducing the impact of the protective head 404 on the shell flipping process. At the same time, they can also be reset to ensure that after the shell is flipped into place, the protective head 404 can quickly approach the long diagonal side of the shell, thereby smoothly carrying out the welding process. A guide groove 204 is provided on the side of the support plate 201 facing the welding frame 401. The guide groove 204 cooperates with the center hole 202 to limit the rotation of the telescopic cylinder 206 during the adjustment of the telescopic cylinder 206 and maintain the rotation stability of the telescopic cylinder 206, thereby improving the accuracy and stability after adjustment by the operator.

[0026] The above describes the specific embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiments, and those skilled in the art may make various modifications or variations within the scope of the claims, which do not affect the essence of the present invention.
