Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of battery sealing technology, specifically relating to a fully automatic sealing device. Background Technology
[0002] Battery sealing is a crucial step in battery manufacturing, primarily involving sealing the battery casing with its internal components to ensure the battery's safety, stability, and performance. The sealing process typically involves encapsulating the battery's positive and negative electrodes, electrolyte, and other internal materials together, and sealing them using specific technical methods.
[0003] The current sealing machine workflow is as follows: the feeding cylinder extends, the material reaches the sealing position, then the discharging cylinder extends, at which point the feeding cylinder retracts. After the sealing and feeding cylinder extends to its position, the discharging cylinder extends, and after the discharging cylinder extends to its position, the sealing cylinder retracts. The feeding cylinder extends to feed material, and then the discharging cylinder retracts. This cycle repeats. The feeding and discharging cylinders can only operate after the sealing cylinder has reached its position, resulting in slow efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of the prior art, this application provides a fully automatic sealing device. By designing a transfer mechanism that runs through the feeding mechanism, sealing mechanism, and discharging mechanism, the transfer mechanism can act as a storage mechanism for the batteries to be sealed, enabling simultaneous feeding and discharging during the battery sealing process, reducing waiting time, and thus improving sealing efficiency.
[0005] The technical effects to be achieved in this application are realized through the following aspects:
[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a fully automatic sealing device, including a feeding mechanism, a sealing mechanism, and a discharging mechanism arranged in sequence, as well as a transfer mechanism passing through the feeding mechanism, the sealing mechanism, and the discharging mechanism;
[0007] The transfer mechanism includes:
[0008] A transfer chain connects the feeding mechanism, the sealing mechanism, and the discharging mechanism;
[0009] A driving component, connected to the transfer chain, is used to drive the transfer chain so that the transfer chain carries the battery into the next process; and
[0010] Several fixtures are connected at intervals to the transfer chain, and the fixtures are used to hold batteries;
[0011] The transfer chain is used to sequentially transfer the batteries on the fixture from the feeding mechanism to the sealing mechanism and the discharging mechanism, so that the feeding mechanism, sealing mechanism and discharging mechanism can operate independently at the same time.
[0012] In some implementations, the fixture includes a body having a receiving slot for holding a battery.
[0013] In some implementations, a magnet is provided inside the body.
[0014] In some implementations, the fixture further includes a connecting seat that is connected between the body and the transfer chain and is detachably and fixedly connected to the transfer chain.
[0015] In some implementations, the transfer mechanism further includes friction strips disposed on both sides of the transfer chain.
[0016] In some implementations, the friction strip is provided with a guide groove, and the two sides of the fixture move within the guide groove.
[0017] In some implementations, the feeding mechanism includes:
[0018] A feeding channel, wherein a feeding port and a pushing port are respectively provided at both ends of the feeding channel, and the feeding port is correspondingly provided with the fixture; and
[0019] A first pushing component is provided corresponding to the pushing port. The first pushing component is used to push the battery in the feeding channel out of the feeding port and into the fixture.
[0020] In some implementations, the first pushing component includes a first cylinder and a first pushing block, the first cylinder being drivenly connected to the first pushing block, and the first pushing block being configured corresponding to the feed inlet.
[0021] In some implementations, the discharge mechanism includes:

[0025] In summary, this application has at least the following advantages:
[0026] The fully automatic sealing device provided in this application features a transfer mechanism that runs through the feeding mechanism, sealing mechanism, and discharging mechanism. The battery can be moved to the next process via the transfer mechanism, which serves as a storage for batteries to be sealed. This avoids the phenomenon that the feeding cylinder and discharging cylinder need to wait for the sealing to be completed before they can operate.

[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments.
[0040] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0041] Example 1:
[0042] Please see the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 2 This application discloses a fully automatic sealing device, comprising a feeding mechanism 1, a sealing mechanism 2, and a discharging mechanism 3 arranged sequentially, and a transfer mechanism 4 passing through the feeding mechanism 1, the sealing mechanism 2, and the discharging mechanism 3. Specifically, the feeding mechanism 1 is used to transfer the battery to be sealed onto the fixture 43. The discharging mechanism 3 is used to remove the sealed battery from the fixture 43.
[0043] The transfer mechanism 4 includes a transfer chain 41, a drive component 42, and several fixtures 43.
[0044] The transfer chain 41 connects the feeding mechanism 1, the sealing mechanism 2, and the discharging mechanism 3.
[0045] The drive unit 42 is driven to the transfer chain 41 and is used to drive the transfer chain 41 so that the transfer chain 41 carries the battery into the next process. Preferably, the drive unit 42 can be a motor.
[0046] Several fixtures 43 are connected at intervals to the transfer chain 41. The fixtures 43 are used to hold batteries. The fixtures 43 are made of S136 steel with a hardness range of HRC48-50°. The transfer chain 41 is used to transfer the batteries on the fixtures 43 sequentially from the feeding mechanism 1 to the sealing mechanism 2 and the discharging mechanism 3, so that the feeding mechanism 1, sealing mechanism 2, and discharging mechanism 3 can operate simultaneously and independently.
[0047] In this embodiment, the fully automatic sealing device moves the battery to be sealed onto the fixture 43 via the feeding mechanism 1. The drive unit 42 rotates the transfer chain 41, moving the battery from the fixture 43 to the sealing mechanism 2, thus completing the battery sealing process. The drive unit 42 then drives the transfer chain 41 to move the battery to the discharge mechanism 3, which removes the battery from the fixture 43 from the transfer mechanism 4, achieving a fully automatic sealing process. Specifically, the drive unit 42 drives the transfer chain 41 forward one station and pauses for a corresponding time, repeating this action until the battery is sealed and discharged. During this pause, the sealing mechanism 2 performs the sealing function, the feeding mechanism 1 pushes the battery into the fixture 43, and the discharge mechanism 3 pushes the battery out of the fixture 43. This avoids the phenomenon where the feeding cylinder and discharge cylinder need to wait for the sealing process to complete before they can operate.
[0048] In this structure, the transfer mechanism 4 serves as a storage unit for batteries to be sealed, enabling simultaneous feeding and discharging during the battery sealing process. This avoids the problem of feeding having to wait for sealing to be completed before it can proceed, effectively reducing waiting time and increasing the number of batteries sealed per minute from 60-70 to 100, thus greatly improving sealing efficiency.
[0049] Example 2:
[0050] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that, please refer to... Figure 3 In this embodiment, the fixture 43 includes a body 431, which has a receiving groove 432 for placing a battery. The shape of the receiving groove 432 can be adapted to the shape of the battery. Preferably, the receiving groove 432 can be an arc-shaped receiving groove 432. This design, by embedding the battery into the receiving groove 432, effectively ensures the stability of the battery placement during movement.
[0051] In some preferred embodiments, a magnet is provided inside the body 431. This arrangement makes the receiving groove 432 magnetic, thereby attracting the battery embedded in the receiving groove 432 and further improving the stability of battery placement.
[0052] In some embodiments, the fixture 43 further includes a connecting seat 433, which is connected between the body 431 and the transfer chain 41 and is detachably and fixedly connected to the transfer chain 41. Specifically, the connection between the connecting seat 433 and the transfer chain 41 can be achieved by tightening screws. In this way, when replacing the fixture 43, only two fixing screws on the connecting seat 433 need to be removed, improving the convenience of replacement and maintenance, making it easy to replace vulnerable parts, facilitating maintenance, and improving installation efficiency. Furthermore, when it is necessary to adjust the material height, only the height of the limit screw needs to be adjusted, making it highly adaptable and easy to install and adjust.
[0053] In some embodiments, see Figures 4-6 The transfer mechanism 4 also includes friction strips 44, which are disposed on both sides of the transfer chain 41. Preferably, the friction strips 44 are provided with guide grooves 441, and the two sides of the fixture 43 move within the guide grooves 441. This arrangement allows the transfer chain 41 to drive the fixture 43 to move along the guide grooves 441, effectively preventing the fixture 43 from shifting and ensuring the accuracy of the sealing.
[0054] Example 3:
[0055] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 2 is that, please refer to... Figures 7-8 The feeding mechanism 1 in this embodiment includes a feeding channel 11 and a first pushing component 12.
[0056] The feed channel 11 has a feed inlet 111 and a pusher 112 at both ends, with the feed inlet 111 corresponding to the fixture 43. The feed channel 11 stores several batteries waiting to be sealed.
[0057] The first pushing component 12 is provided corresponding to the pushing port 112. The first pushing component 12 is used to push the battery in the feeding channel 11 out of the feeding port 111 and into the fixture 43. Specifically, the first pushing component 12 includes a first cylinder 121 and a first pushing block 122. The first cylinder 121 is drivenly connected to the first pushing block 122, and the first pushing block 122 is provided corresponding to the feeding port 111.
[0058] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 1 feeds the battery by starting the first cylinder 121, pushing the first pusher block 122 through the pusher port 112 to push the battery out of the feed port 111, so that the battery is pushed into the fixture 43, thus realizing the feeding action of the battery. The action process is simple and fast, the operation cycle is strong, and the overall structure design is simple and compact.
[0059] Please see Figures 9-10 The discharge mechanism 3 includes a discharge channel 31 and a second pusher component 32.
[0060] One end of the discharge channel 31 is provided with a discharge port 311, which is correspondingly set with the fixture 43.
[0061] The second pushing component 32 is located on the side of the fixture 43 away from the discharge channel 31 and is configured corresponding to the discharge port 311. The second pushing component 32 is used to push the battery located in the fixture 43 to the discharge channel 31. Specifically, the second pushing component 32 includes a second cylinder 321 and a second pushing block 322. The second cylinder 321 is drivenly connected to the second pushing block 322, and the second pushing block 322 is configured corresponding to the discharge port 311.
[0062] In this embodiment, the discharge mechanism 3 discharges the battery by starting the second cylinder 321, pushing the second pusher block 322 above the fixture 43 to push the battery to the discharge port 311, so that the battery is discharged from the fixture 43, thus realizing the discharge action of the battery. The overall structure design is simple and compact, and the action flow is highly rhythmic.
