[0024] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as there is no conflict.

[0025] The preferred embodiments of the present application will be further described in conjunction with the drawings, such as Figure 1As shown in the figure, a battery tab automatic cutting-off device includes a workbench 10, a supporting plate 100 is arranged on the workbench 10, the supporting plate 100 is used to place a battery which needs to be cut off, a support 20 is arranged on one side of the supporting plate 100, a pressing mechanism 200 and a cutting-off mechanism 300 are arranged on the support 20, the pressing mechanism 200 and the cutting-off mechanism 300 are above the supporting plate 100, the pressing mechanism 200 is used to press the top of the tab of the battery, the cutting-off mechanism 300 is used to cut off the tab of the battery, and the cutting-off mechanism 300 is arranged between the pressing mechanism 200 and the supporting plate.

[0026] In the working state of the embodiment, first, the battery which needs to be cut off is placed on the supporting plate 100 with the tab facing one side of the support 20, then the pressing mechanism 200 is started to make contact with and press the top of the tab of the battery, and finally the cutting-off mechanism 300 is started to cut off the tab of the battery, so as to complete the automatic cutting-off of the tab of the battery.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, when the tab of the battery needs to be cut off, the battery is only needed to be placed on the supporting plate 100 by using a mechanical hand or other equipment, and the whole cutting-off process of the tab is automatically completed by the cutting-off mechanism 300 without manual intervention, so that the production efficiency is greatly improved and the labor cost is saved, and in addition, the broken tab can be prevented from splashing upward during the cutting-off by the pressing mechanism 200, so that the whole cutting-off process is more controllable and safe.

[0028] Further to the above embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figure 2 The pressing mechanism 200 includes a stepping motor 210 arranged on the top of the support 20, a lead screw 220 connected to the bottom of the stepping motor 210, a first connecting plate 230 sleeved on the bottom of the lead screw 220, and a pressing plate 240 arranged on one side of the first connecting plate 230 which faces the supporting plate 100, when the battery is placed on the supporting plate 100, the stepping motor 210 is started to drive the lead screw 220 to rotate, so as to drive the first connecting plate 230 to move downward along the lead screw 220, and then drive the pressing plate 240 to gradually press the top of the tab of the battery, since the cutting-off mechanism 300 is arranged between the pressing mechanism 200 and the supporting plate, when the cutting-off mechanism 300 cuts off the tab of the battery, the pressing plate 240 can prevent the cut-off tab from splashing upward, so as to prevent the fragments of the tab from causing damage to objects.

[0029] In some embodiments, as shown in the figure, Figure 2As shown, a buffer plate 250 is provided between the pressing plate 240 and the first connecting plate 230. The buffer plate 250 is made of a soft material, such as rubber or soft rubber. The buffer plate 250 can buffer the pressing plate 240 when it comes into contact with the top of the electrode tab. This can prevent the pressing plate 240 from impacting the electrode tab when it descends too quickly, thus preventing the battery from shifting in the position of the support.

[0030] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, two guide rods 260 are provided inside the bracket 20. The guide rods 260 are arranged parallel to the lead screw 220. The two sides of the first connecting plate 230 are sleeved on the guide rods 260. When the stepper motor 210 is started to drive the lead screw 220 to rotate, thereby driving the first connecting plate 230 to move downward along the lead screw 220, it plays a guiding role in the movement of the first connecting plate 230.

[0031] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, a support plate 30 is provided on the side of the bracket 20 facing the support plate 100. The cutting mechanism 300 is provided inside the support plate 30. The cutting mechanism 300 includes a lifting cylinder 310. A second connecting plate 320 is provided at the bottom of the lifting cylinder 310. A cutter 330 is provided at the bottom of the second connecting plate 320. When the pressing mechanism 200 makes contact with and presses the top of the battery tab, the lifting cylinder 310 is activated to move the second connecting plate 320 upward, thereby moving the cutter 330 downward to cut the battery tab.

[0032] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the cutter 330 is rectangular in shape, and this shape of cutter 330 is suitable for simultaneously cutting multiple tabs of the battery.

[0033] Furthermore, in another implementation, such as Figure 4 As shown, the shape of the cutter 330 also includes a connecting portion 331, which is connected to the second connecting plate 320. A cutting portion 332 is provided at the bottom of the connecting portion 331. The cross-section of the cutting portion 332 is equivalent to one-third to one-quarter of the connecting portion 331. This shape of the cutter 330 is suitable for precisely cutting one of the multiple tabs of the battery.

[0034] In some embodiments, there are two support plates 100, which allows two sets of batteries to be placed simultaneously for simultaneous cutting, further improving the cutting efficiency.

[0035] The details of the above exemplary embodiments, and without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present application, can be implemented in other specific forms. Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting, the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, 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.
