[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 4 A manual steel-cased battery riveting device includes a frame 100, a riveting fixture 200, a feeding unit 300, a positioning seat 400, a conveying unit 500, and a pressing unit 600. The feeding unit 300, positioning seat 400, conveying unit 500, and pressing unit 600 are respectively mounted on the frame 100, with the pressing unit 600 located above the positioning seat 400. The riveting fixture 200 is loaded onto the feeding unit 300 and is conveyed by the feeding unit 300. After the riveting fixture 200 is conveyed to the set position, the conveying unit 500 will move the riveting fixture 200 on the feeding unit 300 to the positioning seat 400, and the pressing unit 600 will move downward to rivet the steel-cased battery on the riveting fixture 200.

[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, when riveting the steel-cased battery, the various parts of the steel-cased battery (steel casing, outer insulating ring, inner insulating ring, terminal post, and pressure ring, etc.) are first assembled manually or by equipment. Then, the assembled steel-cased battery is placed on the riveting fixture 200, which is then loaded onto the feeding unit 300. The feeding unit 300 transports the riveting fixture 200. After it is transported to the set position, the transport unit 500 clamps the riveting fixture 200, while the feeding unit 300 retracts and resets. After the feeding unit 300 retracts, the transport unit 500 places the clamped riveting fixture 200 onto the positioning seat 400. After placement, the transport unit 500 clamps and limits the steel-cased battery on the riveting fixture 200, while the pressing unit 600... The device moves downwards to press the steel-cased battery on the riveting fixture 200 until the riveting is complete. After riveting, the conveying unit 500 clamps the riveting fixture 200 again, and the feeding unit 300 moves over again. The conveying unit 500 places the clamped riveting fixture 200 onto the feeding unit 300, which then retracts to reset. The manually riveted steel-cased battery can then be removed from the riveting fixture 200 and replaced with a new one. Finally, the feeding unit 300 transports the steel-cased battery, and the conveying unit 500 transfers and clamps it. The pressing unit 600 automatically performs the riveting, thereby improving the riveting efficiency of the steel-cased battery and ensuring its riveting quality, while also ensuring safe production.

[0034] In addition, in order to ensure the riveting of the steel-cased battery, a lower hard limiting structure 220 is provided in the middle of the riveting fixture 200 in this embodiment. The lower hard limiting structure 220 can provide a rigid platform for limiting, thereby ensuring rigidity when riveting the steel-cased battery. The riveting fixture 200 can also be transported through the lower hard limiting structure 220, and the steel-cased battery can also be placed in a limited position.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, in order to ensure that the riveting fixture 200 is accurately positioned when loaded onto the feeding unit 300, positioning holes 210 are respectively provided on both sides of the riveting fixture 200. The feeding unit 300 includes a linear guide rail 310 and a feeding seat 320. The linear guide rail 310 is mounted on the frame 100, and the feeding seat 320 is connected to the linear guide rail 310. The linear guide rail 310 can drive the feeding seat 320 to move. A first positioning post 321 corresponding to the positioning hole 210 is provided on the feeding seat 320. When manually loading the riveting fixture 200, the positioning holes 210 at both ends of the riveting fixture 200 are aligned with the first positioning posts 321 at both ends of the feeder 320, and then the riveting fixture 200 is placed directly on the feeder 320. After the riveting fixture 200 is loaded, the linear guide rail 310 will drive the feeder 320 to move. The positioning of the riveting fixture 200 can be ensured by the first positioning posts 321 and the positioning holes 210, thereby preventing the riveting fixture 200 from shifting when the feeder 320 moves, thus ensuring the subsequent handling of the riveting fixture 200.

[0036] In order to prevent the positioning seat 400 from obstructing the movement of the feeder seat 320, the positioning seat 400 is set in the middle of the linear guide rail 310, and the height of the positioning seat 400 is lower than the height of the feeder seat 320. Second positioning pins 410 corresponding to the positioning holes 210 are respectively provided at both ends of the positioning seat 400. When the linear guide 310 drives the feeding seat 320 to move, because the height of the positioning seat 400 is lower than the height of the feeding seat 320, the feeding seat 320 will move above the positioning seat 400. At this time, the conveying unit 500 clamps the riveting fixture 200 on the feeding seat 320. After clamping, the linear guide 310 drives the feeding seat 320 to retract and reset. The conveying unit 500 will then place the riveting fixture 200 directly onto the positioning seat 400, so that the second positioning pin 410 is inserted into the positioning hole 210. The second positioning pin 410 and the positioning hole 210 are used to position the riveting fixture 200, thereby ensuring the riveting quality of the steel-cased battery on the riveting fixture 200.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2In order to move the riveting fixture 200 from the feeder 320 to the positioning seat 400, the transport unit 500 in this embodiment includes a lifting drive 510, a lifting plate 520 and a clamping cylinder 530. The lifting drive 510 is installed at the bottom of the frame 100. One end of the lifting plate 520 is connected to the lifting drive 510 and the other end is connected to the clamping cylinder 530. The lifting drive 510 drives the lifting plate 520 to move up and down, thereby driving the clamping cylinder 530 to move up and down. When the linear guide 310 drives the feeding seat 320 to move above the positioning seat 400, the lifting drive 510 drives the lifting plate 520 to move downward. When the lifting plate 520 moves downward, it will also move the clamping cylinder 530 downward. After moving downward to the set position, the clamping cylinder 530 will clamp the lower hard limit structure 220 of the riveting fixture 200. After clamping, it will move upward to the set position. At this time, the linear guide 310 drives the feeding seat 320 to retract and reset. After resetting, the lifting drive 510 drives the clamping cylinder 530 to move downward again, so that the clamped riveting fixture 200 can be placed on the positioning seat 400. After placement, the lifting drive 510 will drive the clamping cylinder 530 to move upward, and the clamping cylinder 530 will clamp and limit the steel shell battery on the riveting fixture 200 to prevent it from tilting to one side during riveting, so as to ensure the riveting quality.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the pressing unit 600 includes a pressing drive member 610, a pressing drive block 620, and a pressing head 630. One end of the pressing drive block 620 is connected to the pressing drive member 610, and the other end is connected to the pressing head 630. The pressing drive member 610 drives the pressing drive block 620 to move, thereby driving the pressing head 630 to move. When riveting the steel-cased battery on the riveting fixture 200, the pressing drive member 610 drives the pressing drive block 620 to move downward, which in turn moves the pressing head 630 downward. The pressing head 630 then presses the steel-cased battery until it is riveted.

[0039] Please see Figure 3 Because the riveting equipment in this embodiment can rivet steel-cased batteries of different specifications, and when riveting steel-cased batteries of different specifications, only the riveting fixture 200 needs to be replaced. In order to facilitate the replacement of the riveting fixture 200, handles 230 are provided on both sides of the riveting fixture 200. The handles 230 can facilitate manual handling of the riveting fixture 200, thereby facilitating the replacement of the riveting fixture 200.

[0040] Please see Figure 4To ensure safe production, the manual steel-cased battery riveting equipment in this embodiment also includes a protective cover 700. This protective cover 700 is connected to the frame 100 and covers the feeding unit 300, positioning seat 400, conveying unit 500, and pressing unit 600. The protective cover 700 has a working window, and safety light curtains 710 are installed on both sides of the working window. The protective cover 700 protects the riveting equipment during operation, while the safety light curtains 710 improve the equipment's safety performance, thereby ensuring safe production.
