Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of battery production equipment, and particularly relates to a battery negative pressure formation vacuum mechanism. Background Art

[0002] The negative pressure formation vacuum of a battery is an important technology in the battery manufacturing process. It improves the performance and stability of the battery by creating a negative pressure environment inside the battery. The realization of this technology requires the use of equipment such as a vacuum pump to evacuate the battery, and the internal pressure of the battery can be precisely adjusted by controlling the charging and discharging of gas. Currently, during the process of negative pressure formation vacuum for a battery by traditional equipment, usually a vacuum pump with a large suction force is used to extract the electrolyte of each battery cell, and it will continue to work even in the case of leakage of some suction cups. The vacuum leakage will consume more energy. A slight air leakage process can continue under such an imperfect vacuum degree, but in the case of continuous air leakage, the minimum requirement of the vacuum degree cannot be achieved, and the entire equipment needs to be stopped as a whole, which will affect the performance and stability of the battery.

[0032] For better explaining the present utility model for easy understanding, the present utility model will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings through specific implementation manners.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the present utility model provides a battery negative pressure formation vacuum mechanism, including a frame 1, a negative pressure absorption container 3, a suction nozzle 2, a solenoid valve 4, a pressure sensor and a PLC controller;

[0034] A plurality of negative pressure absorption containers 3 are provided and are fixedly arranged side by side on the frame 1;[[ID=1,6]]

[0035] A plurality of suction nozzles 2 are provided, installed at the bottom of the frame 1 and corresponding to the negative pressure absorption containers 3 one by one. The suction nozzles 2 are sequentially connected to the solenoid valve 4 and the corresponding negative pressure absorption containers 3 through pipelines;

[0036] The pressure sensor is installed on the pipeline;

[0037] Both the solenoid valve 4 and the pressure sensor are electrically connected to the PLC controller;

[0038] During use, the suction nozzles 2 at the bottom of the frame 1 correspond to the liquid injection ports of each battery cell. The vacuum pump makes the negative pressure absorption container 3 generate negative pressure, and cooperates with the suction nozzles 2 to absorb the electrolyte of the battery cells. If there is a phenomenon of air leakage in individual battery cells, the signal received by the pressure sensor connected to the corresponding suction nozzle 2 changes greatly. The PLC controller drives the corresponding solenoid valve 4 to close, so as not to affect the negative pressure formation vacuum of other battery cells, thereby improving the performance and stability of the battery.

[0039] In this embodiment, the frame 1 has a C-shaped structure. The negative pressure absorption container 3 is installed inside the cavity of the frame 1, the pipeline is installed at the bottom of the frame 1, and the solenoid valve 4 is arranged at the top of the frame 1.

[0040] In this embodiment, it further includes warning lights. A plurality of warning lights are provided and correspond to the solenoid valves 4 one by one. The warning lights are electrically connected to the PLC controller to indicate the specific position of air leakage of the battery cells through the warning lights.

[0041] Refer to Figure 3 , in this embodiment, a slide rail 5 is provided at the bottom of the frame 1. A plurality of sliders 6 are slidably installed in the slide rail 5 and correspond to the suction nozzles 2 one by one. An L-shaped plate 7 is arranged on one side of the suction nozzle 2, and the L-shaped plate 7 is fixedly connected to the slide rail 5 through a screw rod 8;

[0042] During use, after driving the suction nozzle 2 to move to an ideal position by sliding the slider 6, the position of the suction nozzle 2 is adjusted by tightening the screw rod 8.

[0043] In this embodiment, a through pipe communicating with the suction nozzle 2 is provided on one side thereof, and the through pipe is connected to the solenoid valve 4 via a hose.

[0044] In this embodiment, the negative pressure absorption container 3 is threadedly connected to the frame 1 .

[0045] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0046] The suction nozzle 2 at the bottom of the rack 1 corresponds to the liquid filling port of each battery cell. The vacuum pump generates negative pressure in the negative pressure absorption container 3, and cooperates with the suction nozzle 2 to absorb the electrolyte of the battery cell. If individual cells in the battery leak, the signal received by the pressure sensor connected to the corresponding suction nozzle 2 will change significantly, and the PLC controller will drive the corresponding solenoid valve 4 to close, so as not to affect the negative pressure of other cells into vacuum, thereby improving the performance and stability of the battery.
