DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing different structures of the present invention. To simplify the disclosure of the present invention, the components and configurations of specific examples are described below. Of course, these are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, the present invention may repeat reference numbers and / or letters in different examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or configurations discussed.

[0028] For ease of description, spatially relative terms may be used herein to describe the relative position or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature as shown in the figures, such as "inside," "outside," "inside," "outside," "below," "beneath," "above," "above," "front," "back," and the like. Such spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation other than the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures undergoes a positional flip or a change in posture or a change in motion, then these directional indications will also change accordingly. For example, an element described as "below" or "below" another element or feature will subsequently be oriented as "above" or "above" another element or feature. Thus, the example term "below" can include both above and below orientations. The device may be oriented otherwise (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the positioning tooling according to the embodiment of the present application is used to fix the battery cell, the electrode plate 3 and the negative electrode column adapter plate 4, including a base 10, a fixing seat 11 is provided on the base 10, and a fixing groove 12 is provided on the fixing seat 11. The fixing groove 12 is used to fix the battery cell, and a first limiting member 13 and a second limiting member 14 are provided on the fixing seat 11. The first limiting member 13 is provided with a first limiting groove, and the second limiting member 14 is provided with a second limiting groove. The first limiting groove is used to clamp the electrode plate 3. When the electrode plate 3 is clamped in the first limiting groove, the electrode plate 3 abuts against one end of the battery cell. The second limiting groove is used to clamp the negative electrode column adapter plate 4. When the negative electrode column adapter plate 4 is clamped in the second limiting groove, the negative electrode column adapter plate 4 abuts against the other end of the battery cell.

[0030] To elaborate, the fixing groove 12 can be used to fix the battery cell, and the fixing seat 11 is provided with a first limiter 13 and a second limiter 14. When the battery cell, the electrode plate 3 and the negative electrode column adapter plate 4 need to be welded, the battery cell is fixed in the fixing groove 12, the electrode plate 3 is clamped in the first limiter groove, and the negative electrode column adapter plate 4 is clamped in the second limiter groove. At this time, the electrode plate 3 and the battery cell, as well as the negative electrode column adapter plate 4 and the battery cell can be accurately positioned.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first limiting member 13 is provided with a first avoidance groove 131, which is connected to the first limiting groove and is used to avoid the welding position between the electrode plate 3 and the battery cell. The second limiting member 14 is provided with a second avoidance groove 141, which is used to avoid the welding position between the negative electrode column adapter plate 4 and the battery cell, thereby facilitating the welding of the electrode plate 3 and the battery cell and the negative electrode column adapter plate 4 and the battery cell.

[0032] It is understandable that the shapes of the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove can be set according to the shapes of the electrode plate 3 and the negative electrode column adapter plate 4.

[0033] According to the positioning tooling of the embodiment of the present application, the positioning accuracy of the welding between the electrode plate 3 and the battery cell and the welding between the negative electrode column adapter plate 4 and the battery cell is improved, ensuring concentric welding between the battery cell and the electrode plate 3 and between the battery cell and the negative electrode column adapter plate 4, so that the liquid injection holes of the welded battery can remain consistent.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, according to the positioning tooling of the embodiment of the present application, a driving assembly 20 is provided on the base 10, and the driving assembly 20 is transmission-connected to the base 10 to drive the fixing seat 11 to rotate at least 180°.

[0035] In detail, since the electrode plate 3 and the negative electrode adapter plate 4 are respectively located at the two ends of the battery cell, when the negative electrode adapter plate 4 and the battery cell need to be welded, the negative electrode adapter plate 4 needs to be rotated to an upward position. At this time, the electrode plate 3 is in a downward position. After the welding is completed, the driving assembly 20 is used to drive the fixing base 11 to rotate, so that the electrode plate 3 is in an upward position. Since the rotation from the negative electrode adapter plate 4 to the position where the electrode plate 3 is facing upward requires at least 180 degrees, the power source of the driving assembly 20 can be a cylinder or an electric motor, or it can be manually rotated.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, a support plate 30 is provided on the base 10, and at least one stopper 31 is provided on the support plate 30. The fixing seat 11 has at least a first position and a second position in the circumferential direction. When the fixing seat 11 is in the first position, the electrode plate 3 is in a weldable position. When the fixing seat 11 is in the second position, the negative electrode adapter plate 4 is in a weldable position. The stopper 31 can stop against the fixing seat 11 at least in the first position and the second position.

[0037] Specifically, when the electrode plate 3 needs to be welded, the fixing seat 11 needs to be rotated so that the fixing seat 11 is in the first position, so that the electrode plate 3 is in a weldable position. At this time, the fixing seat 11 needs to be limited by the stopper 31 to ensure that the fixing seat 11 is prevented from rotating when the welding equipment welds the electrode plate 3.

[0038] Among them, the weldable position refers to the position for welding relative to the welding equipment. For example, the battery cell is vertical so that the electrode plate 3 is facing upward to meet the conditions for welding by the welding equipment. Then the first position is the position where the battery cell is vertical and the electrode plate 3 is facing upward. If the battery cell is tilted, the electrode plate 3 is in an oblique upward position to meet the conditions for welding by the welding equipment. Then the first position is the position where the battery cell is tilted and the electrode plate 3 is in an oblique upward position.

[0039] When the negative pole adapter plate 4 needs to be welded, the fixing seat 11 needs to be rotated so that the fixing seat 11 is in the second position, so that the negative pole adapter plate 4 is in a weldable position. At this time, the fixing seat 11 needs to be limited by the stopper 31 to ensure that the fixing seat 11 is prevented from rotating when the welding equipment welds the negative pole adapter plate 4.

[0040] Among them, the weldable position refers to the position for welding relative to the welding equipment. For example, the battery cell is vertical so that the negative pole adapter plate 4 is facing upward to meet the conditions for welding by the welding equipment. The second position is the position where the battery cell is vertical and the negative pole adapter plate 4 is facing upward. If the battery cell is tilted, the negative pole adapter plate 4 is in an oblique upward position to meet the conditions for welding by the welding equipment. The second position is the position where the battery cell is tilted and the negative pole adapter plate 4 is in an oblique upward position.

[0041] The number of the stoppers 31 can be one or more and can be set as needed.

[0042] The structure and shape of the stopper 31 can be set as needed. For example, the contact surface between the stopper 31 and the fixing seat 11 can be an arc or a plane. In some embodiments, a plane is selected to increase the contact area between the stopper 31 and the fixing seat 11.

[0043] In some embodiments, the drive assembly 20 includes a first power group and a second power group. The first power group, the second power group and the fixed seat 11 are connected in sequence. The first power group drives the fixed seat 11 to rotate. The fixed seat 11 has a third position and a fourth position in the horizontal direction. When the fixed seat 11 is in the third position, it abuts against the support plate 30 and the stop member 31. When the fixed seat 11 is in the fourth position, it is spaced from the support plate 30 and the stop member 31. The second power group drives the fixed seat 11 to move between the third position and the fourth position.

[0044] In detail, the drive assembly 20 includes a first power group and a second power group. When the fixed seat 11 is in the third position, it abuts against the support plate 30 and the stop member 31, which can increase the contact area with the fixed seat 11, improve the stability of the fixed seat 11 during welding, and prevent the fixed seat 11 from rotating and shifting during the welding process.

[0045] In order to simplify the position setting of the stopper 31 so that there will be no interference with the stopper 31 during the rotation of the fixed seat 11, the fixed seat 11 is driven to move between the third position and the fourth position by the second power group. In this way, when the fixed seat 11 needs to be rotated, the fixed seat 11 is driven to move to the fourth position by the second power group, so that the fixed seat 11 is spaced from the support plate 30 and the stopper 31, which facilitates the rotation of the fixed seat 11. When the battery cells on the fixed seat 11 need to be welded, the second power group drives the fixed seat 11 to move to the third position, so that the fixed seat 11 can be limited by the support plate 30 and the stopper 31.

[0046] The third position includes the first position and the second position.

[0047] In addition, the power source of the first power group may be an electric motor or a cylinder, and the power source of the second power group may be an electric motor or a cylinder.

[0048] It should be noted that the third position and the fourth position are only relative restrictions to describe the spatial position of the fixing seat 11 and the spatial coordination with the support plate 30 and the stopper 31, and no specific restrictions are imposed. For example, the fourth position can be a position where the straight-line distance between the fixing seat 11 and the stopper 31 is 3 cm, 4 cm, and 5 cm, etc.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, there are multiple stoppers 31 , and the multiple stoppers 31 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the fixing seat 11 .

[0050] In detail, the plurality of stoppers 31 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the fixing seat 11 , and the stoppers 31 can be used to limit the fixing seat 11 in multiple directions, thereby improving the stability of the fixing seat 11 .

[0051] In some embodiments, the fixing base 11 is made of a magnetic material, and the stopper 31 is configured as a first magnetic member. When the fixing base 11 is at the third position, the first magnetic member and the fixing base 11 can be attracted to each other.

[0052] It is understandable that the first magnetic member and the fixing base 11 can be adsorbed to further enhance the stability of the fixing base 11 .

[0053] The magnetic material of the fixing base 11 can be iron, nickel, cobalt, or alloys thereof, etc. The first magnetic member is a strong magnet.

[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a second magnetic component 111 is provided on the side of the fixing base 11 facing the support plate 30, and a third magnetic component is provided on the support plate 30. When the fixing base 11 is in the third position, the second magnetic component 111 and the third magnetic component are adsorbed.

[0055] The second magnetic component 111 and the third magnetic component may both be strong magnets, or one of the second magnetic component 111 and the third magnetic component may be a strong magnet and the other may be made of a magnetic material such as iron, nickel, cobalt or alloys thereof.

[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, in a specific embodiment, a mounting member 112 is provided on the fixing seat 11 , and a mounting groove is provided on a side of the mounting member 112 facing the support plate 30 , and a second magnetic member 111 is clamped in the mounting groove.

[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, according to the positioning tooling of the embodiment of the present application, a rotatable fastening member 40 is provided on the fixing seat 11, the fixing groove 12 has an opening, the opening has a first side and a second side opposite to each other, one end of the fastening member 40 is fixed to the first side of the opening, a first fastening portion 15 is provided on the fixing seat 11, the first fastening portion 15 is located on the second side of the opening, a second fastening portion 41 is provided on the fastening member 40, and the first fastening portion 15 and the second fastening portion 41 can be fastened.

[0058] Specifically, a rotatable fastening member 40 is provided on the fixing seat 11. The fixing slot 12 has an opening with a first side and a second side facing each other. One end of the fastening member 40 is fixed to one side of the opening. After the battery cell is installed in the fixing slot 12, the other end of the fastening member 40 is fastened to the first fastening portion 15, thereby securing the battery cell with the fastening member 40 and preventing the battery cell from falling out of the fixing slot 12. When the battery cell needs to be removed from the fixing slot 12, the first fastening portion 15 and the second fastening portion 41 are separated, thereby opening the fastening member 40 and removing the battery cell. In this way, the provision of the fastening member 40 can improve the reliability of the battery cell fixation and simplify the structural setting of the positioning tooling.

[0059] In a specific embodiment, the second fastening portion 41 is configured as a latch hole. When the second fastening portion 41 and the first fastening portion 15 are fastened together, the latch hole is sleeved on the first fastening portion 15.

[0060] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to the positioning tooling of the embodiment of the present application, a first limiting groove is provided on the first limiting member 13, a locking assembly 50 is provided on the pole plate 3, the locking assembly 50 includes a limiting column 51 and a locking member 52, and a guide hole is provided on the first limiting member 13, the guide hole is connected to the first limiting groove, the limiting column 51 is passed through the guide hole, when the pole plate 3 is clamped in the first limiting groove, the limiting column 51 can be moved in the guide hole to abut against the pole plate 3, and the locking member 52 can be moved to stop or avoid the limiting column 51.

[0061] Specifically, when the electrode plate 3 is clamped in the first limiting groove, the electrode plate 3 may not be fully engaged with the first limiting groove due to processing errors. In this case, the locking member 52 is positioned to avoid the limiting post 51. By adjusting the limiting post 51, the limiting post 51 is moved in the guide hole so that one end can abut against the electrode plate 3. After the limiting post 51 abuts the electrode plate 3, the position of the locking member 52 is adjusted so that the locking member 52 limits the limiting post 51, thereby fixing the electrode plate 3. The limiting post 51 can adapt to different sizes and shapes of the electrode plate 3, thereby improving the reliability and fixation of the electrode plate 3 when it is clamped in the first limiting groove, thereby improving the yield rate after the battery cell is welded.

[0062] The cross-sectional shape of the limiting post 51 includes, but is not limited to, circular, square, elliptical, and triangular shapes, and is not limited to this in the present application. The cross-sectional shape of the guide hole also includes, but is not limited to, circular, square, elliptical, and triangular shapes. It is best that the cross-sectional shapes of the limiting post 51 and the guide hole are consistent to reduce radial movement of the limiting post 51 in the guide hole.

[0063] According to the positioning tooling of the embodiment of the present application, the locking assembly 50 also includes an elastic member, a mounting hole is provided on the first limiting member 13, a connecting rod 53 that can rotate and move along the axial direction of the mounting hole is provided in the mounting hole, the elastic member is sleeved on the connecting rod 53, and the outer end of the connecting rod 53 is connected to a locking member 52.

[0064] When the locking member 52 is not fastened to the limiting column 51, the elastic member is in a natural state. When the locking member 52 needs to be abutted against the limiting column 51, the locking member 52 is rotated. At this time, the connecting rod 53 rotates in the mounting hole, and the locking member 52 compresses the elastic member so that it can abut against the limiting column 51. The elastic member provides a rebound force, so that when the locking member 52 is separated from the limiting column 51, the auxiliary elastic force can bounce off, simplifying the difficulty of disassembling the locking member 52 and the limiting column 51, thereby improving the efficiency during operation.
