[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of the present application.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 In the embodiments of the present application, a lithium ion battery module tab virtual welding detection device comprises:

[0028] a workbench 1;

[0029] a module transportation mechanism 2 arranged on the upper end of the workbench 1;

[0030] a welding tool plate stop block mechanism 3 arranged below the module transportation mechanism 2;

[0031] a module tab virtual welding detection mechanism 4 arranged on the upper end of the welding tool plate stop block mechanism 3;

[0032] a detection telescopic mechanism 5 fixedly connected to the module tab virtual welding detection mechanism 4; and

[0033] a detection part fixed support 6 movably connected to the detection telescopic mechanism 5;

[0034] The module tab virtual welding detection mechanism 4 cooperates with the detection telescopic mechanism 5 and the detection part fixed support 6 to perform virtual welding detection on the battery module tab.

[0035] As a further scheme of the present application, the device further comprises that the workbench 1 is horizontally arranged, and the module transportation mechanism 2 is arranged on the surface of the workbench 1, and the welding tool plate stop block mechanism 3 is arranged in the movement direction of the module transportation mechanism 2.

[0036] In the present embodiment, the welding tool plate stop block mechanism 3 comprises a stop block 31 and a stop block telescopic cylinder 32.

[0037] In the present embodiment, the module tab virtual welding detection mechanism 4 comprises a module pressing tool 41, a module tab detection cylinder 42, a module tab detection base plate 43, a tension sensor 44, a vacuum pumping mechanism 45 and a suction disc mechanism 46.

[0038] In the present embodiment, the module pressing tool 41 of the module tab virtual welding detection mechanism 4 is fixedly connected to the detection telescopic mechanism 5, and the two cooperate to realize the up-down movement of the module tab virtual welding detection mechanism 4.

[0039] In the present embodiment, the module tab detection cylinder 42 is fixedly connected to the module pressing tool 41.

[0040] In this embodiment, the module pole piece detection substrate 43 is movably connected with the module pole piece detection cylinder 42, for moving the module pole piece detection substrate 43 up and down.

[0041] In this embodiment, the tension sensor 44 is fixedly connected with the module pole piece detection substrate 43, and the vacuum extraction mechanism 45 and the suction cup mechanism 46 are fixedly connected with the tension sensor 44.

[0042] In this embodiment, the suction cup mechanism 46 is made of rubber.

[0043] Embodiment two:

[0044] The workbench 1 and the module transportation mechanism 2 located on the workbench 1, the module transportation mechanism 2 is located at the module loading area at the end position of the opposite direction of the module movement.

[0045] The module transportation mechanism 2 is provided with a speed-up chain, which can realize the movement of the module on the line body. The welding tool plate stop block mechanism 3 is arranged in the movement direction of the module transportation mechanism 2. The welding tool plate stop block mechanism 3 includes a stop block 31 arranged on the workbench 1 and a stop block telescopic cylinder 32. When the module after welding moves to the stop block 31 through the speed-up chain, the movement is stopped, the cylinder is elongated, the module pole piece welding virtual welding detection mechanism 4 moves downward to the surface of the module;

[0046] As shown in Figure 2 , the structure diagram of the detection mechanism is shown;

[0047] When the module pole piece welding virtual welding detection mechanism 4 moves downward to the surface of the module, the module pressing tool 41 contacts with the upper surface of the module 8, and the module 8 is fixed on the module welding tool plate. At the same time, the suction cup mechanism 46 is in close contact with the surface of the pole piece 7 which is welded on the surface of the module 8, and the contact position is the welding completion position of the pole piece 7. After the contact is completed, the vacuum extraction mechanism 45 starts to establish the vacuum, so that the vacuum is formed between the suction cup mechanism 46 and the pole piece 7, and the contact between them is firm. After the vacuum is established, the module pole piece detection cylinder 42 starts to contract, and the tension sensor 44 monitors the tension generated by the contraction of the module pole piece detection cylinder 42 in real time. The tension acts on the welding area of the pole piece 7, that is, the tension value monitored by the tension sensor 44 is the tension value borne by the welding area of the pole piece 7. When the tension value reaches the set standard, the module pole piece detection cylinder 42 stops contracting. At this time, the detection system detects the tension value of each sensor. If all the tension values reach the set value, the pole piece 7 does not appear virtual welding, if there is a tension sensor whose tension value is lower than the set value, the pole piece 7 corresponding to the tension sensor has virtual welding at the welding position, and the system alarms.

[0048] After the test of the welding effect of the module pole piece is completed, the position of the detection cylinder 42 of the module pole piece is zeroed, and the vacuum breaking mechanism 45 starts to break the vacuum, so that the vacuum between the suction cup mechanism 46 and the pole piece 7 is released. After the vacuum is released, the cylinder of the detection telescopic mechanism 5 is retracted, and the virtual welding detection mechanism 4 of the module pole piece is moved upward to the initial position. The blocking block telescopic cylinder 32 is retracted, and the blocking block 31 is retracted to the upper and lower sides of the module welding tool plate. At this time, the module 8 enters the next process under the action of the speed chain. The whole detection process is completed.

[0049] It is obvious for those skilled in the art that the present application is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present application. Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and therefore all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be included in the present application, and any reference signs in the claims should not be regarded as limiting the claims.
