[0045] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 17 The welding tooling of the battery module according to some embodiments of the present application is described.

[0046] See also Figures 1 to 15 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a battery module welding tool, comprising: a support assembly 1 and a locking assembly 2; wherein the support assembly 1 is formed with a first mounting groove 111 and a top opening connected to the first mounting groove 111, the first mounting groove 111 is used to place a battery module 3 assembled from multiple battery cells, and the top opening serves to avoid the battery module 3;

[0047] Both sides of the battery module 3 are formed with poles, and locking assemblies 2 are provided on both sides of the battery electrode group where the poles are formed. Each locking assembly 2 includes a pressing member 21, an auxiliary pressing member 22, and a pressing member 23. The pressing member 21 is provided on one side of the battery module 3 and is also placed in the first mounting groove 111. The pressing member 21 is formed with a second mounting groove 211 for placing the aluminum bar 4, and the aluminum bar 4 is assembled with the pole.

[0048] The pressing member 21 is formed with a first welding through-hole, and the first welding through-hole corresponds to the fitting position of the aluminum busbar 4 and the pole; the auxiliary pressing member 22 is formed with a welding protrusion 221 extending into the welding through-hole, and the welding protrusion 221 is formed with a second welding through-hole 2211, and the clamping member 23 is arranged on the support assembly 1, and is used to drive the welding protrusion 221 of the pressing member 21 to clamp the aluminum busbar 4 and the pole so that the two are tightly fitted.

[0049] According to the structure described above, the use process of the welding tooling of the battery module provided in this application is as follows:

[0050] Step 1: Place the stacked battery modules 3 on the support assembly 1;

[0051] Step 2: Place the aluminum bar 4 in the first mounting groove 111 of one pressing member 21, i.e., the first pressing member, corresponding to the A surface of the battery module 3. Place the aluminum bar 4 in the first mounting groove 111 of the other pressing member 21, i.e., the second pressing member, corresponding to the B surface of the battery module 3. After placement, tighten the side limiting members 12 with buckles to achieve positioning of the battery module 3.

[0052] Step 3: After completing step 2 above, move both pressing members 23 toward the battery module 3 to firmly hold the aluminum busbar 4. Then, lock the two pressing members 23 so that they cannot reciprocate, thereby achieving a tight fit between the aluminum busbar 4 and the battery cell poles.

[0053] Step 4: The laser beam is applied to the aluminum busbar 4 through the second welding through-hole 2211 on the welding protrusion 221, and the aluminum busbar 4 and the battery cell pole are melted by high energy to form a welding pool. After cooling, the aluminum busbar 4 and the battery cell pole are firmly welded together;

[0054] Step 5: gradually move the locking assembly 2 along the slide rail 24 to weld the entire A-side battery cell of the module;

[0055] Step 6: After welding the A-side battery cell poles, continue welding the B-side battery cell poles by rotating the support assembly 1. Please refer to the above steps. It should be noted that the specific operation steps are not limited to the above steps and can be selected according to actual needs.

[0056] It can be seen that the welding tooling of the battery module provided by the present application can constrain the position of the aluminum bar 4. After the position is constrained, the aluminum bar 4 is not easy to be skewed, which improves the levelness of the aluminum bar 4 after welding. At the same time, the gap between the aluminum bar 4 and the battery cell pole is constrained, so that the aluminum bar 4 is flat to the surface of the battery cell pole, reducing the poor welding conditions such as cold welding and blown welding caused by the gap. Moreover, the aluminum bar 4 has been positioned during welding. The laser only needs to find the welding through hole in the center part of the battery cell pole, and weld around the welding through hole according to the set welding parameters. There is no need to add an additional downward pressure mechanism, which saves equipment modification costs. In addition, the above process does not require manual operation, saves time and effort, and improves production efficiency.

[0057] Furthermore, preferably, two locking assemblies 2 are provided on both sides of the battery module 3 where the pole is formed. Of course, it is not limited to this. One locking assembly 2 or more than two locking assemblies 2, such as three or four, may also be provided on both sides of the battery module 3 where the pole is formed.

[0058] It should be noted that: it is not limited to the case where poles are formed on both sides of the battery module 3, and locking components 2 are provided on both sides of the battery electrode group where poles are formed. It is also possible that poles are formed on only one side of the battery module 3, and then the locking component 13 is only provided on the side where the poles are formed.

[0059] In this embodiment, preferably, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, any locking assembly 2 also includes a slide rail 24 and a slider; wherein, the slide rail 24 is arranged on the support assembly 1 and extends along the arrangement direction of the multiple battery cells in the battery module 3, the slider is arranged on the clamping member 23, and the slider is slidably connected to the slide rail 24, that is, the slider can slide along the arrangement direction of the multiple battery cells in the battery module 3.

[0060] According to the structure described above, the slider slides along the slide rail 24, thereby driving the locking assembly 2 to move along the arrangement direction of multiple battery cells in the battery module 3, so as to conveniently switch to the next welding target after welding.

[0061] Furthermore, preferably, the slide rail 24 is provided on the side beam 115 of the support member 11 described below. Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0062] In this embodiment, preferably, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, any locking assembly 2 further includes a connecting member 25 , the slider is disposed on the connecting member 25 , and the pressing member 23 is connected to the connecting member 25 .

[0063] According to the structure described above, the connecting member 25 plays a role of transfer, especially when there are multiple locking assemblies 2, multiple locking assemblies 2 are integrated on one connecting member 25, and a slider can be set on this connecting member 25 to thereby slideably connect with the slide rail 24.

[0064] Furthermore, preferably, the connecting member 25 may be a rectangular plate, but is not limited thereto.

[0065] It should be noted that the slide rail 24 , the slider and the connecting member 25 may not be provided, that is, the aforementioned pressing member 23 is directly fixedly connected to the supporting member 11 , and the specific selection can be made according to actual needs.

[0066] In this embodiment, preferably, Figure 1 As shown, the pressing member 23 and the connecting member 25 are detachably connected via a first fastening member 26 such as a screw or a bolt.

[0067] According to the structure described above, the connecting member 25 and the supporting member 11 are connected in a detachable manner, which is convenient for later maintenance or replacement.

[0068] In this embodiment, preferably, Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 15 As shown, the support assembly 1 includes a support member 11, a side limiting member 12 and a locking member 13; wherein, the support member 11 is formed with a first mounting groove 111 and a top opening and a side opening connected to the first mounting groove 111; the side limiting member 12 is arranged at the side opening and is detachably connected to the support member 11 through the locking member 13, and is used to limit the side of the battery module 3.

[0069] According to the structure described above, it can be seen that the assembly of the battery module 3 and the pressing member 21 is first placed in the first mounting groove 111, and then the side limiting member 12 is locked together with the supporting member 11 on the side of the mounting groove using the locking member 13, thereby fixing the assembly of the aforementioned battery module 3 and the pressing member 21, which also plays a limiting role.

[0070] It should be noted that the side limiting member 12 and the supporting member 11 can be fixedly connected or have an integrated structure, which can be selected according to actual needs.

[0071] In this embodiment, preferably, Figure 1 and Figure 15 As shown, the locking member 13 is a buckle, and the buckle is provided on the supporting member 11. Of course, it is not limited to this, and the buckle can also be provided on the side limiting member 12, depending on actual needs.

[0072] According to the structure described above, the locking member 13 adopts a buckle structure, which is extremely convenient to use and improves work efficiency. Of course, the structure of the locking member 13 is not limited to this, and can also be a bolt. Then, correspondingly, the support member 11 and the side limiting member 12 can be connected and fixed by bolts.

[0073] In this embodiment, preferably, Figure 8 As shown, the material of the main body 222 of the auxiliary pressing member 22 is an insulating material, and the material of the welding protrusion 221 of the auxiliary pressing member 22 is a metal material.

[0074] As can be seen from the structure described above, the body 222 can be made of plastic, which is lightweight. The welding protrusion 221, as the welding area, is subjected to higher temperatures, so it is made of metal to extend its service life. Of course, this is not limited to this. The body 222 and the welding protrusion 221 can also be made of the same material, such as metal.

[0075] In addition, it should be noted that the support member 11 and the side limiting member 12 are both made of insulating materials, such as bakelite.

[0076] In this embodiment, preferably, Figure 1 and Figure 15 As shown, the support member 11 of the support assembly 1 is formed with an avoidance gap 112 running through the top thereof, and a flexible protective member 113 is arranged in the avoidance gap 112 .

[0077] According to the structure described above, the avoidance gap 112 is mainly used to avoid the outlet plug-in of the heating film on the battery module 3, and a flexible protective component 113 is provided in the avoidance gap 112 to protect the outlet plug-in.

[0078] Furthermore, preferably, the flexible protective member 113 is made of foam. Of course, it is not limited thereto and may be a flexible member made of other materials, which can be selected according to actual needs.

[0079] Furthermore, preferably, the avoidance gap 112 is provided on the side beam 115 of the support member 11 described below.

[0080] In this embodiment, preferably, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the number of pressing members 21 in any group of locking assemblies 2 is multiple, and the multiple pressing members 21 are arranged sequentially along the arrangement direction of the multiple battery cells in the battery module 3. The number of pressing members 23 and auxiliary pressing members 22 in any group of locking assemblies 2 is also multiple, and corresponds one-to-one to the multiple pressing members 21.

[0081] According to the structure described above, each group of locking components 2 is provided with multiple pressing components 21, clamping components 23 and auxiliary pressing components 22, which can improve the welding efficiency. Of course, it is not limited to this. Each group of locking components 2 can also be provided with only one pressing component 21, one clamping component 23 and one auxiliary pressing component 22, and the specific selection is based on actual needs.

[0082] In this embodiment, preferably, Figure 1 As shown, the pressing member 21 and the battery module 3 can also be detachably connected via a second fastening member 27 such as a screw or a bolt, thereby facilitating the assembly of the pressing member 21 and the battery module 3 together.

[0083] In this embodiment, preferably, Figures 11 to 14 As shown, the inner wall of the second mounting groove 211, which faces the aluminum busbar 4, is formed with a pressing protrusion 212. This pressing protrusion 212 can further compress the aluminum busbar 4, ensuring a tighter fit between the aluminum busbar 4 and the battery cell terminal. Of course, the pressing protrusion 212 can also be omitted, depending on actual needs.

[0084] Furthermore, preferably, the clamping protrusion 212 is formed with an avoidance hole, which can avoid the area to be welded. It should be noted that when the clamping protrusion 212 is located on the outside of the second welding through hole 2211, the clamping protrusion 212 will not block the second welding through hole 2211, so there is no need to open an avoidance hole on the clamping protrusion 212. The specific design is based on actual needs.

[0085] In this embodiment, preferably, Figure 2 As shown, the pressing member 23 is a toggle clamp, which is more convenient to use. Of course, the pressing member 23 is not limited to this, and it can also be a linear motor or a screw drive structure, etc., specifically selected according to actual needs.

[0086] In this embodiment, preferably, Figures 15 to 17 As shown, the support member 11 includes a base plate 114 and three side beams 115. The base plate 114 is preferably rectangular. The three side beams 115 are all arranged on the upper surface of the base plate 114 and respectively correspond to the three sides of the base plate 114. The aforementioned side limiting member 12 can also be a side beam structure, which together with the aforementioned three side beams 115 forms a rectangular frame structure for placing a rectangular battery module 3. Of course, it is not limited to the rectangular side limiting member 12, and the shape of the frame can also be set according to the shape of the battery module 3, etc.

[0087] Furthermore, preferably, the side beam 115 and the bottom plate 114 can be detachably connected via a third fastening member 116 such as a screw or a bolt. Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the side beam 115 can also be an integral structure with the bottom plate 114 , etc.

[0088] In summary, the detailed usage process of the battery module welding tooling provided in this application is as follows:

[0089] Step 1: Place the stacked battery modules 3 on the support member 11;

[0090] Step 2: Place the aluminum bar 4 in the first mounting groove 111 of a pressing member 21, i.e., the first pressing member, corresponding to the A surface of the battery module 3. Place the aluminum bar 4 in the first mounting groove 111 of another pressing member 21, i.e., the second pressing member, corresponding to the B surface of the battery module 3. After placement, fix the first pressing member, the second pressing member, and the two end plates of the battery module 3 together using second fastening members 27, such as bolts, and tighten the side limiting members 12 using buckles to achieve positioning of the battery module 3.

[0091] Step 3: After completing step 2 above, move the two pressing members 23, such as elbow clamps, toward the battery module 3 to firmly hold the aluminum busbar 4. Then, lock the two pressing members 23, such as locking them, so that they cannot move back and forth, thereby achieving a tight fit between the aluminum busbar 4 and the battery cell poles.

[0092] Step 4: The laser beam is applied to the aluminum busbar 4 through the second welding through-hole 2211 on the welding protrusion 221, and the aluminum busbar 4 and the battery cell pole are melted by high energy to form a welding pool. After cooling, the aluminum busbar 4 and the battery cell pole are firmly welded together;

[0093] Step 5: gradually move the locking assembly 2 along the slide rail 24 to weld the entire A-side battery cell of the module;

[0094] Step 6: After welding the A-side battery cell poles, continue welding the B-side battery cell poles by rotating the support member 11. The above steps can be referred to. Of course, the steps are not limited to the above and can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0095] In combination with the above, it can be seen that the welding tooling of the battery module provided by the present application can be used to constrain the position of the aluminum bar 4. After the position is constrained, the aluminum bar 4 is not easy to be skewed, which improves the levelness of the aluminum bar 4 after welding. At the same time, the gap between the aluminum bar 4 and the battery cell pole is constrained, so that the aluminum bar 4 is flat to the surface of the battery cell pole, reducing the poor welding conditions such as cold welding and blown welding caused by the gap. Moreover, the aluminum bar 4 has been positioned during welding. The laser only needs to find the welding through hole in the center part of the battery cell pole, and weld around the welding through hole according to the set welding parameters. There is no need to add an additional downward pressure mechanism, which saves equipment modification costs. In addition, the above process does not require manual operation, saves time and effort, and improves production efficiency. In addition, the locking assembly 2 can slide in the horizontal direction, and then it is convenient to switch to the next welding target after welding is completed, which greatly improves production efficiency.

[0096] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit them. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some or all of the technical features therein.
