[0026] The present invention provides an automatic thrust output device, see Figures 1 to 3 As shown, Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of an automatic thrust output device provided by an embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 2 This is a structural diagram of a bracket 2 in an automatic thrust output device provided by an embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the structure of a support arm 62 in an automatic thrust output device provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The automatic thrust output device provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes a push-in base 1, a bracket 2, a pressure gauge display 3, a pressure plate 4, a connecting block 5, a collection mechanism, and a detection mechanism 7. The bracket 2 is disposed on the push-in base 1, the pressure gauge display 3 is connected to the bracket 2, the pressure plate 4 is used to push the battery cell, and the connecting block 5 is respectively connected to the push-in base 1 and the pressure plate 4. The collection mechanism includes a scanning lens 61 and a support arm 62. The scanning lens 61 is used to collect the shape of the battery cell and is connected to the pressure gauge display 3. The support arm 62 is respectively connected to the scanning lens 61 and the push-in base 1. The detection mechanism 7 includes a pressure sensor 71 and a processor 72. The pressure sensor 71 is respectively connected to the push-in base 1 and the pressure plate 4. The processor 72 is connected to the support arm 62. The processor 72 is connected to the pressure sensor 71 and the pressure gauge display 3. The pressure sensor 71 is located at the center of the pressure plate 4.

[0027] Among them, the pressure plate 4 can be in contact with the battery cell, and the battery cell is pushed into the interior of the battery shell through the pressure plate 4. The shape information of the battery cell includes the size information of the height, width and thickness of the battery. It can be understood by those skilled in the art that in the automatic thrust output device provided in the embodiment of the present invention, there is no restriction on the specific structure of the pressure gauge display 3 and the processor 72 in the detection mechanism 7. It is only necessary to send the shape information of the battery cell collected by the scanning lens 61 to the pressure gauge display 3. The pressure gauge display 3 predicts the pressure values ​​corresponding to the battery cells of various shapes. When the pressure gauge display 3 is connected When the shape information of the battery cell collected by the scanning lens 61 is received, the pressure gauge display 3 will directly display the thrust value information required to push the battery cell, such as the size of the thrust. The shape information of the battery cell collected by the scanning lens 61 can be directly sent to the pressure gauge display 3, which will process it and display the thrust value information required to push the battery cell. Alternatively, the shape information of the battery cell collected by the scanning lens 61 can also be transmitted to the processor 72 wirelessly via Bluetooth, etc., and sent to the pressure gauge display 3 after processing by the processor 72. The pressure gauge display 3 will display the thrust value information required to push the battery cell. The pressure sensor 71 will collect the reverse force of the battery cells exerted on the pressure plate 4 in real time. When the pressure sensor 71 sends the collected reverse force of the battery cells exerted on the pressure plate 4 to the processor 72, the processor 72 will convert the reverse force of the battery cells exerted on the pressure plate 4 collected by the pressure sensor 71 into a digital signal, and send the digital signal to the pressure gauge display 3. At this time, the pressure gauge display 3 will display in real time the real-time size of the reverse force of the battery cells exerted on the pressure plate 4 during the process of pushing the base 1, so that the operator can monitor the size of the thrust of pushing the base 1 in time and adjust the size of the thrust of pushing the base 1 in time.

[0028] In this embodiment, a bracket 2 is provided on the push-in base 1, a pressure gauge display 3 is connected to the bracket 2, a pressure plate 4 is used to push the battery cell, a connecting block 5 is connected to the push-in base 1 and the pressure plate 4, respectively. A scanning lens 61 for collecting the battery cell shape in the collection mechanism is provided on a support arm 62, the scanning lens 61 is connected to the pressure gauge display 3, and the support arm 62 is connected to the push-in base 1. A pressure sensor 71 in the detection mechanism 7 is connected to the push-in base 1 and the pressure plate 4, respectively. A processor 72 is connected to the support arm 62, the processor 72 is connected to the pressure sensor 71, and the processor 72 is connected to the pressure gauge display 3. The pressure sensor 71 is located at the center of the pressure plate 4. During the insertion process, the scanning lens 61 scans the battery cell, acquiring its shape information. The pressure gauge display 3 then receives the scanned shape information of the battery cell to be inserted into the housing, which is captured by the scanning lens 61. The pressure gauge display 3 then displays the thrust value corresponding to the battery cell's shape. The operator then uses this thrust value to push the base, driving the pressure plate 4, toward the interior of the housing. As the operator pushes the base, driving the pressure plate 4, to push the battery cell into the housing, the pressure plate 4 experiences a reaction force from the battery cell. The pressure sensor 71 on the pressure plate 4 accurately detects the pressure changes during the insertion process and transmits this pressure value to the pressure gauge display 3, which displays the pressure information on the pressure plate 4 in real time. The operator can adjust the insertion pressure based on this pressure information. Under the adjusted thrust, the pressure plate 4 smoothly pushes the battery cell into the housing. This allows for the handling of complex and diverse battery shapes, improving the adaptability and accuracy of battery insertion. Thereby achieving a technical effect of improving adaptability and accuracy.

[0029] As an embodiment, the detection mechanism 7 also includes a fixed block 73 and a pressure sensor 71. The fixed block 73 is set on the push-in base 1, and the pressure sensor 71 is set on the fixed block 73. The pressure sensor 71 is connected to the pressure plate 4. The pressure sensor 71 is spaced apart from the connecting block 5. The pressure plate 4 is rectangular, and the sensing end 711 of the pressure sensor 71 is directly opposite the geometric center of the pressure plate 4. If a capacitive pressure sensor 71 is used, one capacitor plate of the capacitive pressure sensor 71 is set on the fixed block 73, and the other capacitor plate is set on the pressure plate 4. The positions of the two capacitor plates are the sensing ends 711 of the pressure sensor 71 described below. When the pressure plate 4 is subjected to pressure, the distance between the two capacitor plates will change to measure the pressure on the pressure plate 4. By directly aligning the pressure sensor 71 with the center of the pressure plate 4, the pressure changes during the pushing process can be captured more accurately and fed back to the operator in real time, so that the operator can adjust the thrust in time to avoid the battery cell being damaged or not being properly inserted into the shell due to improper thrust, which will significantly improve the adaptability and accuracy of the battery cell into the shell.

[0030] In some embodiments, the push-in base 1 is rectangular, and the sensing end 711 of the pressure sensor 71 is located on the line connecting the center of the push-in base 1 and the center of the pressure plate 4. The sensing end 711 of the pressure sensor 71 refers to the end of the pressure sensor 71 that senses the reverse force of the battery cell on the pressure plate 4 in real time, that is, the sensing end 711 of the pressure sensor 71, the geometric center of the push-in base 1, and the geometric center of the pressure plate 4 are all located on the same straight line. By placing the sensing end 711 of the pressure sensor 71 on the line connecting the center of the push-in base 1 and the pressure plate 4, the sensor can directly capture key pressure information during the battery cell pushing process, providing more timely and accurate feedback to the operator, helping the operator to more accurately control the thrust, and improving the success rate and efficiency of battery cell shell insertion.

[0031] In some embodiments, the automatic thrust output device provided by the present invention further includes a transmission mechanism 8, which includes at least a first connecting line, which is respectively connected to the scanning lens 61 and the pressure gauge display 3. The first connecting line tightly connects the scanning lens 61 and the pressure gauge display 3, ensuring that the battery cell shape information collected by the scanning lens 61 can be transmitted to the display in real time to display the recommended thrust pressure value.

[0032] In some embodiments, the transmission mechanism 8 of the automatic thrust output device provided by the present invention further includes a second connecting line and a third connecting line. The second connecting line is respectively connected to the pressure sensor 71 and the processor 72, and the third connecting line is respectively connected to the processor 72 and the pressure gauge display 3. The third connecting line transmits the processed pressure information to the pressure gauge display 3 for display.

[0033] In some embodiments, the support arm 62 includes a first support body 621 and a second support body 622, the second support body 622 is connected to the first support body 621, the first support body 621 is connected to the push-in base 1, and the second support body 622 is connected to the scanning lens 61. The first support body 621 is connected to the push-in base 1, which can provide stable support for the entire device. The second support body 622 is connected to the first support body 621 and extends to the position of the scanning lens 61, ensuring that the scanning lens 61 can be stably fixed in the required position to collect the shape of the battery cell. The support arm 62 with a split design can provide a more stable and reliable support platform for the scanning lens 61.

[0034] In some embodiments, the pressure plate 4 includes opposing first and second sides 41 and 42. The first side 41 is configured to contact the battery cells, while the second side 42 is connected to the connection block 5 and the pressure sensor 71, respectively. The second support 622 is tilted toward the pressure plate 4 so that the second side 42 is positioned between the first side 41 and the extended optical axis of the scanning lens 61. This allows the scanning lens 61 to scan the battery cell's shape in front of the first side 41. Direct contact between the first side 41 and the battery cells ensures accurate transmission of thrust to the cells. The second side 42 is connected to the connection block 5 and the pressure sensor 71, respectively, to transmit thrust and detect pressure changes. To optimize the scanning lens 61's field of view and the accuracy of pressure detection, the second support 622 is tilted toward the pressure plate 4 so that the second side 42 is positioned precisely between the first side 41 and the extended optical axis of the scanning lens 61. This not only prevents obstruction of the scanning lens 61's field of view but also ensures that the pressure sensor 71 can accurately detect pressure changes during insertion.

[0035] In some embodiments, the push-in base 1 is perpendicular to the second side 42, which is parallel to the first side 41. This perpendicularity between the push-in base 1 and the second side 42 of the pressure plate 4 ensures stability between the two during insertion. Furthermore, the parallelism between the second side 42 and the first side 41 of the pressure plate 4 ensures consistent and accurate force transmission. This helps operators more precisely control the thrust during the battery cell insertion process, minimizing force deviations caused by device shake or deformation.

[0036] In some embodiments, the bracket 2 includes a first support block 21 and a second support block 22, the second support block 22 is connected to the first support block 21, the first support block 21 is connected to the push-in base 1, and the second support block 22 is connected to the pressure gauge display 3. The bracket 2 is composed of the first support block 21 and the second support block 22. The first support block 21 is firmly connected to the push-in base 1, providing a stable support foundation for the entire device. The second support block 22 is vertically connected to the first support block 21 and connected to the pressure gauge display 3, ensuring that the display can be stably installed at an appropriate height and position, providing a stable and reliable installation platform for the pressure gauge display 3, so that the display can clearly display thrust information. At the same time, the compact and reasonable structure also reduces the space occupied by the device, improving the overall practicality and convenience.

[0037] In some embodiments, the first support block 21 and the second support block 22 are perpendicular to each other, while the second support block 22 is parallel to the insertion base 1. This perpendicularity makes the bracket 2 more stable and less prone to deformation. Furthermore, the second support block 22 remains parallel to the insertion base 1, ensuring the vertical stability of the bracket 2. This not only enhances the overall rigidity of the device but also facilitates the operator's application of force when inserting the battery cell and observation of the pressure gauge display 3.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above specific implementation methods are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model and are not limiting. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to examples, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
