Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to equipment for manufacturing water-cooled plates, and more particularly to a welding ring manufacturing apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] The water-cooled plate is a crucial component of liquid cooling in a battery pack. It primarily consists of a plate body, sealing plates, and current collectors located at both ends of the plate body. During manufacturing, welding rings are fitted around the outer perimeter of the plate body, and the sealing plates and current collectors are pressed to the ends of the plate body. The welding rings, after heating, weld the current collectors to the plate body.

[0003] The welding rings used in existing flow plate assembly machines are usually prefabricated manually, which is inefficient and results in poor product quality. Furthermore, the welding rings need to be manually installed onto the assembly mold head before assembly. This prefabricated welding ring may suffer from quality issues such as deformation during transportation, and manual loading is inefficient and lacks precision. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, this application provides a welding ring manufacturing apparatus that can improve the manufacturing efficiency and quality of welding rings.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application employs the following technical solution:

[0006] A welding ring manufacturing apparatus, characterized in that it comprises a core plate, a first manufacturing mechanism disposed on one side of the core plate, a second manufacturing mechanism disposed on the other side of the core plate, and a shearing assembly for cutting welding wire into straight welding rods; the first manufacturing mechanism includes a first manufacturing bracket and a pressure ring assembly and a first bending ring assembly mounted on the first manufacturing bracket; the pressure ring assembly includes a pressure ring plate for pressing the welding wire onto the surface of the core plate and a pressure ring cylinder fixedly mounted on the first manufacturing bracket for driving the pressure ring plate to extend and retract left and right; the shearing assembly cuts the welding wire into straight welding rods; the first bending ring assembly includes a bending ring plate for bending the straight welding rod into a U-shaped welding rod and a first bending ring cylinder for driving the bending ring plate to extend and retract left and right; two fork arms are fixedly disposed on the bending ring plate. Two forked arms are positioned on the front and rear sides of the pressure ring plate. When the two forked arms extend, they bend the two ends of the straight welding rod along the surface of the core plate to the other side, forming a U-shaped welding rod. The second manufacturing mechanism includes a second manufacturing bracket, a moving platform that extends and retracts in the left and right direction, a clearance cylinder fixedly mounted on the second manufacturing bracket for driving the moving platform to move left and right, and a second bending ring assembly mounted on the moving platform. The second bending ring assembly includes two clamping arms that can move closer or further apart in the front and rear direction, and a second bending ring cylinder fixedly mounted on the moving platform for driving the two clamping arms to move relative to each other. When the moving platform extends, it drives the two clamping arms to move to the two ends of the U-shaped welding rod. When the two clamping arms move closer to each other, they bend the two ends of the U-shaped welding rod inward to form a welding ring.

[0007] The welding ring manufacturing apparatus of this application can directly manufacture welding rings on the core board through the coordinated action of the first manufacturing mechanism and the second manufacturing mechanism, reducing the process of manually installing welding rings onto the core board. Moreover, compared with manual welding ring manufacturing, both efficiency and finished product quality can be improved.

[0008] In some embodiments, the second manufacturing mechanism further includes a shaping assembly mounted on a mobile platform. The shaping assembly includes a shaping plate located between two clamping arms for pressing the two ends of the welding ring against the surface of the core board, and a shaping cylinder fixedly mounted on the mobile platform for driving the shaping plate to extend and retract left and right. The shaping assembly can compact both ends of the welding ring, resulting in better finished product quality.

[0009] In some embodiments, the welding ring fabrication apparatus further includes a wire feeding mechanism for conveying the welding wire onto the core board.

[0010] In some embodiments, the wire feeding mechanism includes a wire feeding bracket, a wire spool rotatably connected to the wire feeding bracket and wound with welding wire, a plurality of wire spools rotatably connected to the wire feeding bracket for straightening the welding wire, and a wire pulling assembly disposed in front of the wire spools for pulling the welding wire to the core plate; the plurality of wire spools are arranged in two staggered rows, and the welding wire passes through the middle of the two rows of wire spools; the wire pulling assembly includes a wire pulling platform that can move back and forth, a wire pulling finger cylinder fixedly mounted on the wire pulling platform and capable of opening and closing for clamping the welding wire, and a wire pulling module for driving the wire pulling platform to move in the back and forth direction; when the wire pulling finger cylinder clamps the welding wire and moves forward, it can pull the welding wire to the core plate.

[0011] In some embodiments, the shearing assembly is positioned in front of the wire drawing assembly. The shearing assembly includes a shearing platform that can move back and forth, a shearing cylinder for driving the shearing platform's back-and-forth movement, a shear cylinder fixedly mounted on the shearing platform for cutting the welding wire, and a first guide tube fixedly mounted on the shearing platform and located behind the shear cylinder. The purpose of the shearing platform is to provide clearance for subsequent actions by other mechanisms. The first guide tube guides and supports the welding wire, preventing the welding wire from bending when the shear cylinder cuts it.

[0012] In some embodiments, the wire feeding mechanism further includes a clamping finger cylinder fixedly mounted on the wire feeding bracket and located between the wire reel and the pulling finger cylinder. The clamping finger cylinder is used to clamp the welding wire when the first conductor tube retracts. When the shearing platform retracts, the clamping finger cylinder clamps the welding wire, which can prevent the first conductor tube from moving the welding wire backward, causing the welding wire to loosen and resulting in inconsistent lengths of the pulled-out wire.

[0013] In some embodiments, a second wire tube is also fixedly mounted on the wire feeding bracket between the wire clamping finger cylinder and the wire pulling finger cylinder.

[0014] In some embodiments, the wire feeding bracket is further fixedly provided with a first guide member located between the wire spool and the wire reel, and a second guide member located between the wire reel and the wire clamping finger cylinder. Both the first and second guide members serve to guide and support the welding wire, reducing wire bending caused by subsequent actions.

[0015] As can be seen from the above technical solution, this application has at least the following advantages and positive effects:

[0016] This application discloses a welding ring manufacturing apparatus, which can directly manufacture welding rings on a core board through the coordinated action of a first manufacturing mechanism and a second manufacturing mechanism. This reduces the manual process of installing the welding rings onto the core board, and improves both efficiency and product quality compared to manual welding ring manufacturing.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The terminology used in the embodiments section of this application is only for explaining specific embodiments and is not intended to limit the application.

[0028] See Figures 1 to 9This application provides a welding ring manufacturing device, including a core plate 1, a first manufacturing mechanism 2 disposed on one side of the core plate 1, a second manufacturing mechanism 3 disposed on the other side of the core plate 1, and a shearing assembly 5 for cutting welding wire 61 into straight welding rods 62; the first manufacturing mechanism 2 includes a first manufacturing bracket 21 and a pressing ring assembly 22 and a first bending ring assembly 23 mounted on the first manufacturing bracket 21; the pressing ring assembly 22 includes a pressing ring plate 221 for pressing the welding wire 61 onto the surface of the core plate 1 and a pressing ring cylinder 222 fixedly mounted on the first manufacturing bracket 21 for driving the pressing ring plate 221 to move left and right; the shearing assembly 5 cuts the welding wire 61 into straight welding rods 62, and the first bending ring assembly 23 includes a bending ring plate 231 for bending the straight welding rod 62 into a U-shaped welding rod 63 and a first bending ring cylinder 232 for driving the bending ring plate 231 to move left and right; two fork arms 23 are fixedly disposed on the bending ring plate 231. 3. Two fork arms 233 are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the pressure ring plate 221. When the two fork arms 233 extend, they bend the two ends of the straight welding rod 62 along the surface of the core plate 1 to the other side to form a U-shaped welding rod 63. The second manufacturing mechanism 3 includes a second manufacturing support 31, a moving platform 32 that moves in the left and right direction, a clearance cylinder 33 fixedly installed on the second manufacturing support 31 for driving the moving platform 32 to move left and right, and a second bending ring assembly 34 installed on the moving platform 32. The second bending ring assembly 34 includes two clamping arms 341 that can move closer or further apart in the front and rear direction, and a second bending ring cylinder 342 fixedly installed on the moving platform 32 for driving the two clamping arms 341 to move relative to each other. When the moving platform 32 extends, it drives the two clamping arms 341 to move to the two ends of the U-shaped welding rod 63. When the two clamping arms 341 move closer to each other, they bend the two ends of the U-shaped welding rod 63 inward to form a welding ring 64.

[0029] This welding ring manufacturing device can directly produce welding rings 64 on the core plate 1 through the coordinated action of the first manufacturing mechanism 2 and the second manufacturing mechanism 3, reducing the process of manually installing welding rings 64 onto the core plate 1. Moreover, compared with manual production of welding rings 64, both efficiency and finished product quality can be improved.

[0030] The second manufacturing mechanism 3 also includes a shaping assembly 35 mounted on a mobile platform 32. The shaping assembly 35 includes a shaping plate 351 located between two clamping arms 341 for pressing the two ends of the welding ring 64 against the surface of the core plate 1, and a shaping cylinder 352 fixedly mounted on the mobile platform 32 for driving the shaping plate 351 to move left and right. The shaping assembly 35 can compact both ends of the welding ring 64, resulting in better finished product quality.

[0031] The welding ring making apparatus also includes a wire feeding mechanism 4 for feeding the welding wire 61 onto the core plate 1 and a cutting assembly 5 for cutting the welding wire 61 into straight welding rods 62.

[0032] The wire feeding mechanism 4 includes a wire feeding bracket 41, a wire spool 42 rotatably connected to the wire feeding bracket 41 and wound with the welding wire 61, multiple wire wheels 43 rotatably connected to the wire feeding bracket 41 for straightening the welding wire 61, and a wire pulling assembly 44 arranged in front of the wire wheels 43 for pulling the welding wire 61 to the core plate 1. The multiple wire wheels 43 are arranged in two staggered rows, and the welding wire 61 passes through the middle of the two rows of wire wheels 43. The wire pulling assembly 44 includes a wire pulling platform 441 that can move back and forth, a wire pulling finger cylinder 442 fixedly installed on the wire pulling platform 441 and capable of opening and closing for clamping the welding wire 61, and a wire pulling module 443 for driving the wire pulling platform 441 to move in the back and forth direction. When the wire pulling finger cylinder 442 clamps the welding wire 61 and moves forward, it can pull the welding wire 61 to the core plate 1.

[0033] The shearing assembly 5 is positioned in front of the wire drawing assembly 44. The shearing assembly 5 includes a shearing platform 51 that can move back and forth, a shearing cylinder 52 for driving the shearing platform 51 back and forth, a shear cylinder 53 fixedly mounted on the shearing platform 51 for cutting the welding wire, and a first guide tube 54 fixedly mounted on the shearing platform 51 and located behind the shear cylinder 53. The purpose of the shearing platform 51 is to provide clearance for subsequent actions by other mechanisms. The first guide tube 54 guides and supports the welding wire 61, preventing the welding wire 61 from bending when the shear cylinder 53 cuts it.

[0034] The wire feeding mechanism 4 also includes a wire clamping finger cylinder 48 fixedly mounted on the wire feeding bracket 41 and located between the wire reel 43 and the wire pulling finger cylinder 442. The wire clamping finger cylinder 48 is used to clamp the welding wire 61 when the first conductor tube 54 retracts. When the shearing platform 51 retracts, the wire clamping finger cylinder 48 clamps the welding wire 61, which can prevent the first conductor tube 54 from driving the welding wire 61 to move backward, causing the welding wire 61 to loosen and resulting in inconsistent lengths of the pulled-out wires.

[0035] A second wire tube 45 is also fixedly installed on the wire feeding bracket 41 between the wire clamping finger cylinder 48 and the wire pulling finger cylinder 442.

[0036] The wire feeding bracket 41 is also fixedly equipped with a first guide tube 46 located between the wire reel 42 and the wire wheel 43, and a second guide tube 47 located between the wire wheel 43 and the wire clamping finger cylinder 48. The second guide tube 45, the first guide tube 46, and the second guide tube 47 all serve to guide and support the welding wire 61, reducing the bending of the welding wire 61 caused by subsequent actions.

[0037] The following is a brief description of the working process and usage method of the welding ring manufacturing device described in the above embodiments:

[0038] The shearing cylinder 52 extends, driving the shear cylinder 53 and the first wire tube 54 forward. The wire-pulling finger cylinder 442 clamps the welding wire 61. The wire-pulling module 443 drives the wire-pulling platform 441 forward. The wire-pulling finger cylinder 442, holding the welding wire 61, moves forward, passing the welding wire 61 through one side of the core plate 1. (See attached image) Figure 5 The pressure ring cylinder 222 extends and drives the pressure ring plate 221 to press the welding wire 61 onto the core plate 1. The shearing cylinder cuts the welding wire 61 into a straight welding rod 62.

[0039] The subsequent actions of the wire feeding mechanism 4 are as follows: the wire pulling finger cylinder 442 releases the welding wire 61, the wire pulling module 443 drives the wire pulling platform 441 to retract and reset, the wire clamping finger cylinder 48 clamps the welding wire 61, the shearing moving cylinder 52 retracts, driving the scissor cylinder 53 and the first conductor tube 54 to retract together, and finally the wire clamping finger cylinder 48 releases the welding wire 61.

[0040] During the fabrication of weld ring 64, see [link / reference]. Figure 6 The first bending cylinder 232 extends two fork arms 233 to bend both ends of the straight welding rod 62 along the surface of the core plate 1 to the other side, forming a U-shaped welding rod 63; see also Figure 7 The repositioning cylinder 33 extends, causing the two clamping arms 341 to move to the sides of the U-shaped welding electrode 63. (See below) Figure 8 The two clamping arms 341 move closer to each other under the drive of the second bending cylinder 342, and the two ends of the U-shaped welding rod 63 are bent inward to form a welding ring 64. Finally, the shaping cylinder 352 extends to drive the shaping plate 351 to press the welding ring 64, thus completing the production of the welding ring 64. After that, all components are reset.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit them; although the embodiments of this application have been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
