[0026] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Please see the attached Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the welding and fixing device for the explosion-proof valve of the battery shell in the embodiment of the present invention includes a base plate 1, the upper end surface of the base plate 1 is fixedly connected to a connecting seat 2, one side of the upper end surface of the connecting seat 2 is fixedly connected to a clamping seat 3, a down-pressing component 4 is provided at the middle of the other side of the upper end surface of the connecting seat 2, and a tightening component 5 is provided at the middle of the inner part of the connecting seat 2. The down-pressing component 4 is used to press the explosion-proof valve from top to bottom, and the tightening component 5 cooperates with the down-pressing component 4 to clamp the explosion-proof valve to ensure stability, and at the same time, it can also balance the forces on the upper and lower sides of the explosion-proof valve to prevent the explosion-proof valve from rupturing.

[0028] The lower pressure component 4 includes a rotating seat 46, the upper end surface of the rotating seat 46 is fixedly connected to the second cylinder 41, the upper end of the second cylinder 41 is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 42, the lower side of one end of the pressure plate 42 is fixedly connected to the sleeve rod 44, the lower end of the sleeve rod 44 is slidably sleeved with the upper pressure head 43, when the lower pressure component 4 is in use, the rotating seat 46 rotates so that the upper pressure head 43 is located above the explosion-proof valve, and then the second cylinder 41 retracts so that the upper pressure head 43 is pressed above the explosion-proof valve, and the upper pressure head 43 only contacts the upper inner side of the explosion-proof valve, does not cover the edge of the explosion-proof valve, and will not interfere with welding. In addition, the rotating seat 46 is set, so that the lower pressure component 4 can be rotated. After welding to the vicinity of the pressure plate 42, the rotating seat 46 is reset, so as not to interfere with the laser welding.

[0029] The pressing component 5 includes a third cylinder 51. The upper end of the third cylinder 51 is fixedly connected with a push rod 52. The upper end of the push rod 52 penetrates through the inside of the clamping seat 3 and is fixedly connected with a lower pressing head 53. When the pressing-down component 5 operates, the pressing component 4 operates simultaneously. The lower pressing head 53 is lifted by the third cylinder 51, so that the lower pressing head 53 contacts the lower side of the explosion-proof valve. The upper pressing head 4 and the lower pressing head 53 contact the explosion-proof valve simultaneously, ensuring uniform force and preventing the explosion-proof valve from cracking.

[0030] The pressing-down component 4 further includes a detection component 48 and a motor 47. The motor 47 is fixedly connected inside the connecting seat 2. The output end of the motor 47 is fixedly connected with the rotating seat 46. The rotating seat 46 is driven to rotate by the arranged motor 47.

[0031] The detection component 48 includes a first sensor 481, a second sensor 482 and a stop block 483. The stop block 483 is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the rotating seat 46. The included angle between the first sensor 481 and the second sensor 482 is 90°. The arranged first sensor 481 and second sensor 482 are both contact sensors. After the rotating seat 46 rotates 90°, the stop block 483 will trigger the corresponding sensor, thereby stopping the motor 47 and the rotating seat 46 stops rotating, preventing the rotating seat 46 from exceeding the limit.

[0032] On the upper end face of the bottom plate 1, on the side far from the pressing-down component 4, a fixed seat 6 is fixedly connected. On the upper end of the fixed seat 6, a first cylinder 7 is fixedly connected. The extending end of the first cylinder 7 is fixedly connected with a movable clamping plate 8. On the side of the clamping seat 3 far from the movable clamping plate 8, a fixed clamping plate 11 is fixedly connected. After the cover plate is placed in the clamping seat 3, the first cylinder 7 can be controlled to extend, driving the movable clamping plate 8 to move, so that the cover plate is stably clamped between the movable clamping plate 8 and the fixed clamping plate 11.

[0033] On both sides inside the connecting seat 2, a jacking component 9 is arranged. The jacking component 9 includes a fourth cylinder 91 fixedly connected to the bottom plate 1. The upper end of the fourth cylinder 91 is fixedly connected with a jacking block 92. The jacking block 92 is slidably connected to the inside of the clamping seat 3 and can extend out of the upper end face of the clamping seat 3. The arranged jacking component 9 is used to jack out the welded cover plate from the clamping seat. Specifically, the fourth cylinder 91 drives the jacking block 92 to extend, thereby jacking up the cover plate. The fourth cylinder 91 resets, and the jacking block 92 retracts into the clamping seat 3, facilitating the placement of the cover plate.

[0034] The lower pressing head 53 can extend out of the upper end face of the clamping seat 3, and the positions of the lower pressing head 53 and the upper pressing head 43 correspond.

[0035] A spring 45 is sleeved on the outer end of the sleeve rod 44. The arranged spring 45 can play a buffering role.

[0036] On both sides of the upper end face of the clamping seat 3, grooves 10 are provided. The provided grooves 10 facilitate the taking and placing of the cover plate.

[0037] The above has described in detail an embodiment of the present utility model. However, the above content is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and cannot be considered as limiting the scope of implementation of the present utility model. Any equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of the application of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope covered by the patent of the present utility model.
