[0080] In some embodiments of the hot sealing and liquid injection device 4, the top surface of the openable and closable supports 42 is provided with a giving slot 421 for the liquid injection head 46 to pass through, so that the liquid injection head 46 can move in and out of the openable and closable supports 42 without performing lifting action. The lifting seat 41 also does not need to continue to be lifted in the process of liquid injection. The overall action is smoother and more concise, and is high in efficiency.

[0081] In some embodiments of the heat-sealing liquid injection device 4, the heat-sealing liquid injection device 4 comprises a waste liquid tank 420 arranged below the moving track of the liquid injection head 46, for containing waste liquid when the liquid injection head 46 is cleaned. In this embodiment, the upper surface of the waste liquid tank 420 is a concave curved surface (or a conical surface), and a socket 4201 is arranged at the center position of the curved surface. The liquid injection head 46 is guided into the socket 4201 by the curved surface to achieve a sealing effect, thereby avoiding leakage of waste liquid.

[0082] In some embodiments of the heat-sealing liquid injection device 4, the heat-sealing liquid injection device 4 comprises a code spraying gun 430 for spraying a two-dimensional code on the finished product, which generally includes information such as battery batch number, sequence, electrode piece weight, foil weight, gram capacity, and active material proportion.

[0083] Further, the code spraying gun 430 is located at the lower end of the Z-axis track of the lifting seat 41, i.e., at the initial position of the lifting seat 41. After the semi-finished product becomes a finished product after the heat-sealing (left and right side edges and lower bottom edge) - liquid injection - heat-sealing (upper bottom edge), it is lowered to the position of the code spraying gun 430 for code spraying. After code spraying, the finished product can be directly taken away by manual operation.

[0084] In some embodiments of the heat-sealing liquid injection device 4, the heat-sealing liquid injection device 4 comprises an electrolyte container 440 connected to the liquid injection head 46 through a hose (not shown in the figure) for providing electrolyte.

[0085] In the present utility model, when the position of a part / component needs to be moved and has a precise numerical requirement, a sensor can be used for detection and positioning, or a driving element with higher precision (such as a lead screw or a stepper motor) can be used.

[0086] The use process of the present utility model is as follows:

[0087] Step 1: A batch of electrode pieces in a self-sealing bag are transferred from a transition bin to a glove box by manual operation. A code scanning gun 8 is used to scan the two-dimensional code of the self-sealing bag and the two-dimensional code of the corresponding tray a. Then the electrode pieces are placed in the tray a, and the tray a is placed in the storage device 1. This process is repeated until all the electrode pieces in the self-sealing bag are processed.

[0088] Step 2: The storage device 1 transfers the trays a one by one to the conveying device 2, and the conveying device 2 transfers the trays a output by the storage device 1 to the detection station, the processing station, and the discharging station in sequence.

[0089] Step 3: At the detection station, the electrode pieces are transferred to a CCD camera 6 by a transfer device 5, and real-time surface quality detection and code scanning and tracing operations are performed on the electrode pieces. Then the electrode pieces are placed back on the tray a by the transfer device 5.

[0090] Step 4, in the processing station, the pole piece processing device 3 performs the actions of cutting and area powder scraping on the pole piece by laser technology;

[0091] Step 5, the conveying device 2 returns the tray a to the detection station and performs the action of detecting the quality of the pole piece processing (i.e. cutting and powder scraping);

[0092] Step 6, in the discharging station, the tray a and the pole piece are taken away by hand, the pole piece is loaded into the pre-loaded Pock bag to assemble into the semi-finished product of the symmetrical battery, and the semi-finished product is placed into the hot sealing and liquid injection device 4;

[0093] Step 7, the hot sealing and liquid injection device 4 performs the actions of battery edge hot sealing and electrolyte injection on the semi-finished product to assemble into the finished product of the symmetrical battery, and finally the finished product is taken out from the hot sealing and liquid injection device 4 by hand.

[0094] The above embodiments and drawings are not limited to the product form and style of the utility model, and any appropriate changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art shall be considered as not departing from the patent category of the utility model.
