Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of adhesive application tools for battery cells, and in particular to an adhesive application fixture for battery cells. Background Technology

[0002] During the production of battery modules, adhesive needs to be applied to the sides of the cells to bond adjacent cells and between the cells and the module frame. This adhesive application not only enhances the structural strength of the battery module but also improves sealing performance and optimizes thermal management. Furthermore, the manufacturing process of battery modules places strict requirements on the application locations; therefore, adhesive application fixtures are needed to ensure the accuracy of the application.

[0003] In the prior art, such as Chinese utility model patent with patent number ZL201921477788.X, a battery cell adhesive application fixture is disclosed, including: a base plate for placing the battery cell; a positioning mechanism disposed on the base plate for positioning the battery cell at the adhesive application position; and an adhesive application reference block, including an adhesive positioning groove for positioning the adhesive relative to the battery cell. The adhesive application reference block is movably disposed relative to the base plate and has a travel between an initial position and an adhesive application position. At the initial position, a gap is reserved between the adhesive application reference block and the base plate for placing the battery cell on the base plate. At the adhesive application position, the adhesive positioning groove is directly opposite the adhesive application position of the battery cell.

[0004] Using the above-mentioned adhesive application fixture requires transferring the battery cell into the fixture for adhesive application, and then removing the battery cell after adhesive application to apply adhesive to other battery cells. The overall adhesive application process is inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0024] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a battery cell adhesive applicator for use on a battery cell conveying line. The battery cell adhesive applicator includes a mounting base 1, a support base 2, a flipping frame, and a positioning plate 3. There are two mounting bases 1 and two support bases 2, which are respectively located at opposite positions on both sides of the battery cell conveying line. The first end of the flipping frame is rotatably connected between the two mounting bases 1 via a rotating shaft 41. The two support bases 2 support the second end of the flipping frame when it is in a horizontal state. The positioning plate 3 is mounted on the flipping frame and has five battery cell positioning slots 31 spaced apart along the conveying line direction. The number of battery cell positioning slots 31 can be adjusted according to actual needs. Each battery cell positioning slot 31 is used to position one battery cell. Simultaneously, each battery cell positioning slot 31 has an adhesive positioning port 32 at its bottom. The position and shape of the adhesive positioning port 32 are determined according to the requirements of the adhesive application process. In this embodiment, the position and shape of the adhesive positioning port 32 at the bottom of the five battery cell positioning slots 31 vary due to process requirements.

[0026] It should be noted that the battery cell conveyor line is a conventional plate chain conveyor. The plate chain has right-angle brackets at the four corners of the battery cells, preventing them from sliding on the conveyor line and fixing the distance between adjacent cells. The conveyor line is driven by a stepper motor, allowing for precise control of the forward transport distance. Therefore, five consecutive battery cells on the conveyor line can be accurately transported to their corresponding positions in the five battery cell positioning slots 31 of the adhesive applicator. Once the five battery cells are in place, the flipping frame is flipped down onto the five battery cells, causing each cell to embed into its corresponding positioning slot 31 on the positioning plate 3. Adhesive can then be applied to the five battery cells through the adhesive positioning port 32. After adhesive application, the flipping frame is flipped up, allowing the battery cell conveyor line to continue transporting battery cells. Throughout the adhesive application process, the battery cells do not need to be removed from the conveyor line, and only two flipping operations of the adhesive applicator are required to complete the adhesive application of five battery cells, significantly improving the overall efficiency of the battery cell adhesive application process.

[0027] To ensure the tilting frame can stably maintain its tilted state and facilitate the worker's downward tilting operation, a limiting block is provided on the mounting base 1 or the battery cell conveyor line. In this embodiment, the limiting block is specifically set on the conveyor line and is therefore not shown in the figure. This limits the maximum upward tilting angle of the tilting frame. In this embodiment, the maximum angle is 135°. That is, when the tilting frame tilts upward from the horizontal state by 135°, it will be stopped by the limiting block. At this time, the tilting frame can stably lean against the limiting block under its own weight and maintain this state without human support. At the same time, since the worker is on one side of the support base 2, the tilting angle of the tilting frame should not be too large. At this angle, the worker can easily reach the tilting frame on the other side of the conveyor line to tilt and press it down.

[0028] Although the cell delivery line can deliver the cell to the corresponding cell positioning slot 31, slight errors cannot be completely avoided. Therefore, in order to make the cell smoothly embedded in the cell positioning slot 31, the cell positioning slot 31 has a wedge-shaped guide structure, that is, a structure with a larger opening and a smaller bottom.

[0029] The tilting frame includes two reinforcing rods 42 and three evenly spaced connecting rods 43 positioned between the two reinforcing rods 42. The reinforcing rods 42 have higher strength than the connecting rods 43 and serve as the main support structure of the tilting frame, while the connecting rods 43 mainly provide stable mounting positions for the positioning plate 3. Each of the first ends of the two reinforcing rods 42 has a vertically mounted mounting block 44. A rotating shaft 41 connects the two mounting blocks 44, and each of the two mounting seats 1 has a bearing 11. The rotating shaft 41 is rotatably connected to the two bearings 11. The two mounting blocks 44 are located on opposite sides of the two bearings 11 to limit their movement. Because the mounting blocks 44 are perpendicular to the reinforcing rods 42, when the mounting blocks 44 are vertical, the reinforcing rods 42 are horizontal. Furthermore, the lifting effect of the vertical mounting blocks 44 on the reinforcing rods 42 prevents interference between the reinforcing rods 42 and the conveyor line. The second ends of the two reinforcing rods 42 are provided with positioning holes 421, and the support base 2 is provided with a support column 21, which is used to cooperate with the mounting block 44 to raise the support height of the second end of the reinforcing rods 42. The upper end of the support column 21 is provided with a positioning head 22, which is used to cooperate with the positioning holes 421 on the reinforcing rods 42 to achieve accurate positioning of the entire tilting frame in the horizontal downward state. Of course, in order to make the cooperation between the positioning head 22 and the positioning hole 421 smoother, the positioning head 22 adopts a conical structure.

[0030] Finally, to facilitate workers' flipping operation of the tilting frame, two handles 45 are provided at intervals on a connecting rod 43 at its second end.

[0031] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are implementations based on the overall concept of this utility model. Furthermore, the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the scope of protection of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
