Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to battery processing equipment, especially a cylindrical battery bottom cover processing equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] The whole of the eave of the existing cylindrical battery bottom cover is a horizontal plate structure, and the rigidity of the eave is poor, so the eave is prone to deformation when the bottom cover is subjected to external force during production, packaging and transportation of the bottom cover. In order to overcome this defect, the applicant improves the cylindrical battery bottom cover, and designs the eave to include at least a lower inclined section of the eave extending downwardly and obliquely in a radial direction from outside to inside. Compared with the existing eave structure which is a horizontal plate structure, the new eave structure has better rigidity, and reduces the probability of deformation of the eave when the bottom cover is subjected to external force during production, packaging and transportation of the bottom cover. Due to the change of the structure of the cylindrical battery bottom cover, and the limited yield of the steel belt, it is difficult to stabilize the forming at one time, and the processing equipment also needs to be improved. SUMMARY

[0003] The utility model discloses a cylindrical battery bottom cover processing equipment.

[0004] The technical scheme for realizing the utility model is as follows: a cylindrical battery bottom cover processing equipment, which comprises, sequentially arranged in a horizontal direction, a punching mechanism for punching exhaust holes on a steel plate, a first pre-cutting mechanism for cutting a preliminary outline of a bottom cover on the steel plate, a second pre-cutting mechanism for cutting an outline of the bottom cover on the steel plate, a positive stretching mechanism for punching a reverse outline of a cap shape of the bottom cover, a reverse stretching mechanism for punching the cap shape of the bottom cover, a pre-forming mechanism for punching an eave, a forming mechanism for shaping the eave, a lettering mechanism and an edge cutting mechanism.

[0005] The preforming mechanism comprises a preforming female die, a preforming ejector pin and a preforming male die assembly. The preforming female die is arranged oppositely with the preforming male die assembly. The preforming female die has a preforming female die inner cavity. The preforming ejector pin is arranged in the preforming female die inner cavity. The lower end surface of the preforming female die is inclined from outside to inside and to one side of the upper end surface of the preforming female die. The inclination angle of the lower end surface of the preforming female die is the same as the inclination angle of the eave. The preforming male die assembly comprises a first male die, a second male die and a first die core. The second male die is concentrically and movably nested in the first male die. The inner diameter of the first male die is equal to the outer diameter of the eave. The upper end surface of the second male die is arranged oppositely and parallel to the lower end surface of the preforming female die. The first die core has a first die core shaft and a first die core base. The first die core shaft is concentrically nested in the second male die. The first die core base is located outside the bottom of the first male die and fixed with the first male die. The horizontal position of the upper end surface of the first male die is between the upper end surface of the second male die and the upper end surface of the first die core during the preforming operation. The lower end surface of the preforming female die, the lower end surface of the preforming ejector pin, the upper end surface of the second male die and the upper end surface of the first die core form a containing space of the cylindrical battery bottom cover.

[0006] The forming mechanism comprises a forming female die, a forming ejector pin and a forming male die assembly. The forming female die is arranged oppositely with the forming male die assembly. The forming female die has a forming female die inner cavity. The forming ejector pin is arranged in the forming female die inner cavity. The outer diameter of the lower end of the forming female die is greater than the outer diameter of the eave. The lower end of the forming female die extends outwardly along the axial direction of the forming female die to form a boss. The inner wall of the boss is flush with the inner wall of the forming female die. The lower end surface of the boss is inclined from outside to inside and to one side of the upper end surface of the preforming female die. The forming male die assembly comprises a third male die, a fourth male die and a second die core. The fourth male die is concentrically and movably nested in the third male die. The second die core has a second die core shaft and a second die core base. The second die core shaft is concentrically nested in the fourth male die. The second die core base is located outside the bottom of the third male die and fixed with the third male die. The inner diameter of the third male die is equal to the outer diameter of the eave. The upper end surface of the fourth male die is arranged oppositely and parallel to the lower end surface of the boss. The inclination angle of the lower end surface of the boss is the same as the inclination angle of the eave. The horizontal position of the upper end surface of the third male die is between the upper end surface of the fourth male die and the upper end surface of the second die core during the forming operation. The lower end surface of the boss, the lower end surface of the forming ejector pin, the upper end surface of the fourth male die and the upper end surface of the second die core form a containing space of the cylindrical battery bottom cover.

[0007] Since the yield strength of steel strip is limited, it is difficult to form a stable shape in one go. The cylindrical battery bottom cover processing equipment realized by this utility model adopts a pre-forming mechanism for punching out the cover and a forming mechanism for shaping the cover in the cover forming stage. Through two processing steps, it can ensure that the product is stable in all dimensions regardless of low, medium and high speed and meets the process dimensions, resulting in a high product yield.
