[0034] Step S1: The staff places the flexible gallium arsenide batteries on the welding platform 4 according to the required number. The welding platform 4 is activated by an external power source to position and adsorb the placed flexible gallium arsenide batteries.
[0035] Step S2: The platform slide rail 3 and gantry slide rail 5 are started by controlling the external power supply. The gantry slide rail 5 drives the vision component 7 and the welding component 9 on the lifting slide rail 8 to move through the slide block 6. The platform slide rail 3 drives the welding platform 4 to move at the top of the support platform 2, so that the flexible gallium arsenide battery corresponds to the vision component 7.

[0037] In this embodiment, the operator places the flexible gallium arsenide batteries on the welding platform 4 according to the required number. The welding platform 4 is started by an external power source to position and adsorb the placed flexible gallium arsenide batteries. The platform slide rail 3 and gantry slide rail 5 are started by the external power source. The gantry slide rail 5 drives the vision component 7 and the welding component 9 on the lifting slide rail 8 to move through the slide base 6. The platform slide rail 3 drives the welding platform 4 to move at the top of the support platform 2 so that the flexible gallium arsenide batteries correspond to the vision component 7. The vision component 7 automatically identifies the welding joints on the flexible gallium arsenide batteries. The lifting slide rail 8 is started by the external power source. The resistance welding power source 10 controls the welding component 9 to start. The lifting slide rail 8 drives the welding component 9 to move.

The material positioning device positions the batteries, and the adsorption function of the battery adsorption device ensures that the batteries are firmly adsorbed on welding platform 4.
[0040] The resistance welding power supply 10 is a transistor power supply that uses dual-point welding and has three control modes: voltage control, current control, and power control. The welding output pulse waveform is divided into three segments: rising, holding, and falling.
[0041] The resistance welding power supply 10 can stably supply power to the welding assembly 9, which then welds the battery. The resistance welding power supply 10 also has overload protection for welding parameters such as voltage, current, power, and pressure, timed grinding of the electrode head, and execution of an automatic voltage recovery program, ensuring the welding effect and safety of the welding assembly 9.
[0042] Working Principle: During the welding of flexible gallium arsenide (GaAs) batteries, the required number of flexible GaAs batteries are placed on the welding platform 4. The welding platform 4 positions the flexible GaAs batteries using a material positioning device, and the battery adsorption device ensures that the batteries are firmly adsorbed onto the welding platform 4. The gantry slide rail 5 controls the slide block 6 to move the vision component 7 and the welding component 9 on the lifting slide rail 8. The vision component 7 automatically identifies the solder joints on the flexible GaAs batteries. The lifting slide rail 8 controls the welding component 9 to descend and correspond to the resistance solder joints on the flexible GaAs batteries. The resistance welding power supply 10 is a transistor power supply, which adopts dual-point welding and has three control modes: voltage control, current control, and power control. The welding output pulse waveform is divided into three segments: rising, holding, and falling. It supplies power to the welding component 9 to achieve the welding of the flexible GaAs battery solder joints. After some batteries are welded, the welding platform 4 is moved on the support platform 2 by the platform slide rail 3 to adjust its position, so that the flexible GaAs batteries in different positions can be accurately detected by the vision component 7 to complete the welding of subsequent batteries.
