Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 4 An embodiment of the electrode group sorting device of this utility model consists of an electrode group clamp, a plate ear sorting device and a clamp vibration device, and is used for electrode group sorting before welding the electrode group to the busbar.

[0025] The clamping device comprises a clamping frame 5, a first clamping cylinder 9, a first clamping plate connecting rod 10, a first clamping plate 11, a second clamping cylinder 13, a second clamping plate connecting rod 14, a second clamping plate 15, and handles 12. The clamping frame 5 is rectangular, with two handles 12 symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the clamping frame 5. The first clamping cylinder 9 and the second clamping cylinder 13 are fixed to opposite sides of the clamping frame 5, staggered in position. The first clamping plate connecting rod 10 and the second clamping plate connecting rod 14 are arranged parallel to each other within the clamping frame 5, and are fixedly connected to the first clamping cylinder 9 and the second clamping cylinder 13, respectively. Six first clamping plates 11 are fixed at one end to the first clamping plate connecting rod 10 at intervals, and the other end is slidably fitted onto the second clamping plate connecting rod 14. Six second clamping plates 15 are fixed at one end to the second clamping plate connecting rod 14 at intervals, and the other end is slidably fitted onto the first clamping plate connecting rod 10. The six first clamping plates 11 and six second clamping plates 15 are distributed alternately, and one first clamping plate 11 and one second clamping plate 15 constitute a clamping plate group. The six clamping plate groups are consistent with the electrode group distribution in the battery. In use, the electrode group clamps are placed on the vibration platform 6 of the vibration device.

[0026] The plate ear sorting device includes a plate ear sorting frame 16, a cylinder 1, a positioning device 4, a plate ear transverse sorting mechanism, and a plate ear longitudinal sorting mechanism. The plate ear sorting frame 16 is fixed to the fixed platform 2 above the pole group clamp by the cylinder 1. The plate ear sorting frame 16 is rectangular with two symmetrical grooves on both sides. The plate ear sorting frame 16 has two through holes in the middle along the longitudinal direction, with a spacing equal to the distance between two plates 23. The two through holes respectively cooperate with two plate ear pressure irons 8. The plate ear transverse sorting mechanism includes a first plate ear sorting head cylinder 21, a first sorting head moving block 20, and a second sorting head fixing block 22 on one side, and a second plate ear sorting head cylinder 18, a second sorting head moving block 19, and a first sorting head fixing block 17 on the other side, which are distributed corresponding to the positions of the two plates 23 of the pole group 24. The second sorting head fixing block 22 and the first sorting head fixing block 17 are respectively fixed to the bottom surface of the clamp frame 5 inside the two through holes. The first plate ear sorting head cylinder 21 and the second plate ear sorting head cylinder 18 are respectively fixed to the clamp frame 5 outside the two through holes and between the two grooves, and are respectively connected to the first sorting head moving block 20 and the second plate ear sorting head cylinder 18. The plate ear longitudinal sorting mechanism includes two plate ear pressure irons 8, which are respectively suspended between the first sorting head moving block 20 and the second sorting head fixing block 22, the second sorting head moving block 19 and the first sorting head fixing block 17.

The inner bottom ends of the first sorting head moving block 20, the second sorting head fixing block 22, the second sorting head moving block 19 and the first sorting head fixing block 17 are provided with steps that cooperate with the plate ear 23. There are four positioning devices 4, which are located at the four corners of the clamp frame 5. They are all plate-shaped, with a groove in the middle of the bottom end that cooperates with the clamp frame 5 for positioning.

[0027] The clamp vibration device consists of a vibrator 7 and a vibration platform 6 located on top of the vibrator 7.

[0028] The process of adjusting the position of the positive and negative plates includes:

[0029] The six pole groups 24 are respectively placed into the clamping group composed of the first clamping plate 11 and the second clamping plate 15; the first clamping cylinder 9 and the second clamping cylinder 13 simultaneously clamp the pole groups 24. They are then transferred and placed on the vibration platform 6.

[0030] As the plate ear sorting frame 16 descends, the positioning devices 4 at the four corners of the plate ear sorting frame 16 eventually lock onto the two side frames of the clamp frame 5, serving a positioning function and controlling the descent height. (The positioning devices 4 can be replaced according to the height of the electrode plates).

[0031] The operation of the first plate ear adjusting head cylinder 21 and the second plate ear adjusting head cylinder 18 controls the first adjusting head moving block 20 and the second adjusting head moving block 19 to move left and right, adjusting the misaligned plate ears 23 of the pole group 24 to a straight line.

[0032] When the first sorting head moving block 20 and the second sorting head moving block 19 are in motion, the vibrator 7 controls the vibration platform 6 to vibrate simultaneously, which facilitates the adjustment of the position of the plate ear 23 and ensures that the bottom of the pole group 24 is neat.

[0033] The pressure iron 8, under its own weight, presses down on the plate ear 23, leveling the misaligned plate ear 23.

[0034] After the electrode group 24 is sorted, the first clamping cylinder 9 and the second clamping cylinder 13 clamp the electrode group 24 and transfer it to the welding area for welding.

[0035] The clamping device can also employ a first clamping cylinder 9. The two clamping plate connecting rods are a first clamping plate connecting rod 10 and a third clamping plate connecting rod. The first clamping cylinder 9 is located at one end of the clamping frame 5 and connected to the first clamping plate connecting rod 10. The third clamping plate connecting rod is fixed to the clamping frame 5. The clamping plates are a first clamping plate 11 and a third clamping plate. One end of the third clamping plate is fixed to the third clamping plate connecting rod, and the other end is fitted onto the first clamping plate connecting rod 10. One end of the first clamping plate 11 is fixed to the first clamping plate connecting rod 10, and the other end is fitted onto the third clamping plate connecting rod. The third clamping plate and the first clamping plate 11 are alternately distributed.

[0036] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
