Traditional stringers often encounter operational issues, such as missing solder joints at the beginning and end of the ribbons and ribbon bending. These issues severely impact weld quality and the power generation efficiency and reliability of the final product.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design a welding ribbon positioning mechanism for a string welding machine to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] As a further improved technical solution of the present invention, the contact area between the first pressure needle and the soldering strip is 2-4 times the contact area between the second pressure needle and the soldering strip.

[0007] As a further improved technical solution of the present invention, the elastic member is a spring, and the elastic coefficient of the spring of the first pressing needle is 0.3-0.8 N / m greater than the elastic coefficient of the spring of the second pressing needle.

[0016] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0017] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a welding ribbon positioning mechanism 100 for a string welding machine, which is used to position the welding ribbon on the surface of a battery cell 200 during string welding. The surface of the battery cell 200 has a plurality of fine grid lines and a plurality of welding ribbons perpendicular to the fine grid lines ( Figure 2 (indicated by the medium-thick dashed line).

[0018] The soldering machine's ribbon positioning mechanism 100 includes a support assembly 10 and a plurality of press pins 20 arranged in a matrix. Specifically, the support assembly 10 comprises a plurality of support beams 11 arranged side by side and connecting beams 12 connecting the support beams 11. The length of the support beams 11 is perpendicular to the length of the soldering ribbon. The support assembly 10 is constructed of high-strength, high-temperature-resistant materials, ensuring continued stability and reliability over long-term use.

[0019] The pressure pin 20 is elastically mounted on the support beam 11 through an elastic member. The pressure pins on the two support beams 11 at the edge are defined as the first pressure pin 21, and the pressure pin on the inner support beam 11 is defined as the second pressure pin 22. The area of ​​contact between the end face of the first pressure pin 21 and the soldering strip is larger than the area of ​​contact between the end face of the second pressure pin 22 and the soldering strip. The elastic force between the first pressure pin 21 and the support beam 11 is larger than the elastic force between the second pressure pin 22 and the support beam 11. Figure 3 As shown, the pressing needle 20 specifically includes a mounting post 201 , a spring 202 and a pressing head 203 . The pressing head 203 is elastically mounted on the mounting post 201 via the spring 202 , and the mounting post 201 is fixed to the support beam 11 .

[0020] The area of ​​contact between the first pressing needle 21 and the soldering ribbon is 2-4 times the area of ​​contact between the second pressing needle 22 and the soldering ribbon. The end face of the first pressing needle 21 is circular, and its diameter is 5-8mm, and the end face of the second pressing needle 22 is circular, and its diameter is 3-5mm. Specifically, in this embodiment, the pressure head of the first pressing needle 21 is circular, and its diameter is 6mm, and the pressure head of the second pressing needle 22 is circular, and its diameter is 4mm. The elastic coefficient of the spring of the first pressing needle 21 is 0.3-0.8N / m greater than the elastic coefficient of the spring of the second pressing needle 22. Such a setting further improves the fixing ability of the first pressing needle to the soldering ribbon, but avoids the increase of elastic force causing hidden cracks in the battery cell.

[0021] Preferably, the end face of the first pressing needle 21 is a curved surface with a curvature radius of 100-200 mm. The end face of the second pressing needle 22 is a flat surface, which is conducive to better contact between the pressing needle and the cell surface during welding and improves welding quality.

[0022] During welding, the stringer's ribbon positioning mechanism 100 is placed on the surface of the cell 200. The support beam 11 and the ribbon's welding points are staggered, with the edge of the first pressure pin 21 positioned 0.5-1.5mm from the nearest welding point. Each ribbon is secured at both ends by a first pressure pin 21. The large-diameter pressure pins 21 provide better pressure and stability, controlling the stress caused by thermal expansion. This prevents problems such as empty solder joints and "S" bends at the beginning and end of the cell.
