[0021] A kind of battery positive pole foil welding structure, refer to Figure 1 , including two oppositely arranged welding head 10 and the positive pole foil 20 between two welding head 10, two welding head 10 moves towards each other direction close until with positive pole foil 20 contact carries out welding work.

[0022] Refer to Figure 1 , welding head 10 is equipped with at least one welding surface 11, welding surface 11 is provided with welding tooth 12, welding tooth 12 is provided with welding point 121 on the side away from welding surface 11, welding point 121 is protruding from the surface of welding tooth 12, welding point 121 is the position of welding head 10 and positive pole foil 20 contact and weld, welding point 121 can realize the welding with positive pole foil 20 through.

[0023] Further, refer to Figure 1 , the welding point 121 on welding tooth 12 has multiple, multiple welding points 121 are spaced along the length direction of welding tooth 12.Both sides of two welding head 10 mutually are equipped with multiple welding points 121, to simultaneously carry out welding operation to both sides of positive pole foil 20.

[0024] With reference to Figure 1 One side of the welding head 10 is provided with a mounting seat 30 and a driving member, wherein the welding head 10 is fixedly installed on the mounting seat 30, the driving member is installed on the mounting seat 30, the output end of the driving member passes through the mounting seat 30 and is connected with the welding head 10, and the driving member can drive the welding head 10 to move in the vertical direction. It should be noted that the mounting seat 30 supports the welding head 10 and the driving member, thereby ensuring the stability of the driving member and the welding head 10. The mounting seats 30 and the driving members of the two welding heads 10 are respectively arranged on the sides of the two welding heads 10 away from each other, and the two driving members are used to control the two welding heads 10 to move towards each other.

[0025] With reference to Figure 1 In the embodiment, the driving member is a speed regulating cylinder 40, two speed regulating valves are installed on the speed regulating cylinder 40, and the two speed regulating valves are respectively a first speed regulating valve 41 and a second speed regulating valve 42. The first speed regulating valve 41 is used to adjust the retraction speed of the piston rod of the speed regulating cylinder 40, and the second speed regulating valve 42 is used to adjust the advancing speed of the piston rod of the speed regulating cylinder 40. The advancing speed of the welding head 10 controlled by the speed regulating cylinder 40 is adjusted by controlling the second speed regulating valve 42, thereby improving the speed of the welding head 10 to reach the welding position of the positive electrode foil 20. The first speed regulating valve 41 adjusts the speed of the welding head 10 controlled by the cylinder to leave the welding position of the positive electrode foil 20 after the welding head 10 is welded with the positive electrode foil 20. It should be noted that after the two welding heads 10 are welded with the positive electrode foil 20, the welding head 10 and the positive electrode foil 20 need to be slowly separated, thereby solving the problem that the positive electrode foil 20 is welded and cracked due to the adhesion of the positive electrode foil 20 and the welding head 10 when the two are quickly separated. The first speed regulating valve 41 on the speed regulating cylinder 40 connected with the two welding heads 10 is adjusted to reduce the speed of the two welding heads 10 to separate, thereby reducing the problem of the positive electrode foil 20 being welded and cracked.

[0026] Further, with reference to Figure 1The two speed-adjusting cylinders 40 connected with the two welding heads 10 are respectively provided with a control member, which is used to control the speed of the speed-adjusting cylinder 40 to control the speed of the welding head 10 to separate the positive foil 20. Specifically, the two welding heads 10 are respectively a first welding head 101 and a second welding head 102, and the first welding head 101 is located above the second welding head 102. The two control members are respectively a first controller 50 and a second controller 60; the first controller 50 is arranged on the speed-adjusting cylinder 40 connected with the first welding head 101, and the second controller 60 is arranged on the speed-adjusting cylinder 40 connected with the second welding head 102. Among them, the first controller 50 is used to control the speed of the speed-adjusting cylinder 40 connected with the first welding head 101, and the first controller 50 is electrically connected with the first speed-adjusting valve 41 and the second speed-adjusting valve 42 on the speed-adjusting cylinder 40 connected with the first welding head 101; the second controller 60 is used to control the speed of the speed-adjusting cylinder 40 connected with the second welding head 102, and the second controller 60 is electrically connected with the first speed-adjusting valve 41 and the second speed-adjusting valve 42 on the speed-adjusting cylinder 40 connected with the second welding head 102. It should be noted that the speed of the first welding head 101 and the second welding head 102 advancing to the welding position of the positive foil 20 is 800 mm / min, that is, the first controller 50 and the second controller 60 control the second speed-adjusting valve 42 of the speed-adjusting cylinder 40 connected with the first welding head 101 and the second welding head 102 respectively, so that the descending speed of the first welding head 101 and the second welding head 102 reaches 800 mm / min.

[0027] Referring to Figure 1, the first welding head 101 separates from the positive electrode foil 20 at a speed of 20 mm / min after the welding is completed, and the second welding head 102 separates from the positive electrode foil 20 at a speed of 60 mm / min after the welding is completed. It should be noted that the first welding head 101 and the second welding head 102 move away from each other at a speed of 20 mm / min and 60 mm / min respectively after the welding is completed, and then the first welding head 101 and the second welding head 102 move at a speed of 800 mm / min to return to the original position. By adjusting the separation speed of the first welding head 101 and the second welding head 102 after the welding is completed, the problem of the positive electrode foil 20 being adhered to the first welding head 101 and the second welding head 102 during separation is solved. It should be noted that the welding teeth 12 on the first welding head 101 and the second welding head 102 are different. When the positive electrode foil 20 uses a composite foil instead of a metal foil as the current collector of the electrode, the composite foil cannot be directly welded to the tab due to the presence of the polymer layer. Usually, a transition welding method is used to connect the composite foil and the tab, that is, metal foils are spliced on the upper and lower surfaces of the composite foil, and the metal foils are connected to the composite foil by welding to realize current conduction. The welding teeth 12 on the first welding head 101 and the second welding head 102 in this welding method are different, so the separation speed of the first welding head 101 and the second welding head 102 from the positive electrode foil 20 is different, so as to separate from the positive electrode foil 20 without causing the phenomenon of the positive electrode foil 20 being adhered to the welding head 10.

[0028] Further, referring to Figure 1 , after the first welding head 101 and the second welding head 102 complete the welding with the positive electrode foil 20, the first welding head 101 and the second welding head 102 are separated from the positive electrode foil 20 by a distance of 10-15 mm, and then the first welding head 101 and the second welding head 102 are returned at a speed of 800 mm / min.

[0029] Further, referring to Figure 1 , the first welding head 101 and the second welding head 102 are each provided with a CCD detection mechanism 70 for monitoring the welding work. The two CCD detection mechanisms 70 are used to detect whether the welding work of the first welding head 101 and the second welding head 102 with the positive electrode foil 20 is completed, so as to facilitate the control of the separation speed of the first welding head 101 and the second welding head 102 from the positive electrode foil 20. It should be noted that the CCD detection mechanism 70 on the first welding head 101 is electrically connected to the first controller 50, and the CCD detection mechanism 70 on the second welding head 102 is electrically connected to the second controller 60.

[0030] Further, referring to Figure 1The pressing assembly 80 is arranged in the feeding direction of the positive electrode foil 20, and is used for pressing the positive electrode foil 20, wherein the pressing assembly 80 comprises an upper pressing block 81 and a lower pressing block 82, the upper pressing block 81 and the lower pressing block 82 press two opposite outer sides of the positive electrode foil 20 respectively, and the pressing assembly 80 can fix the position of the positive electrode foil 20, thereby improving the welding quality of the positive electrode foil 20.

[0031] The speed of the speed-adjusting cylinder 40 can be adjusted to adjust the separation speed of the two welding heads 10 after the welding with the positive electrode foil 20 is completed, the two welding heads 10 and the positive electrode foil 20 are slowly separated after the first welding head 101 and the second welding head 102 complete the welding with the positive electrode foil 20, and different separation speeds are adopted between the first welding head 101, the second welding head 102 and the positive electrode foil 20, thereby solving the problem that the positive electrode foil 20 is welded and cracked due to the adhesion between the positive electrode foil 20 and the welding head 10 when the separation is fast.

[0032] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation manners of the utility model, the description is more specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as the limitation of the utility model patent scope. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary skilled person in the art, without departing from the concept of the utility model, a plurality of deformations and improvements can be made, which belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent should be subject to the appended claims.
