Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of copper foil flexible connection forming technology, and in particular to a copper foil flexible connection forming equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Copper foil flexible connectors are high-current conductors widely used in new energy battery connections, transformer installation, high and low voltage switchgear, vacuum electrical appliances, enclosed busbars, generators and busbars, rectifier equipment and other fields. During the processing, they are made by stacking and welding multiple layers of copper foil.
[0003] Patent publication number CN221313050U discloses a copper foil flexible connection welding device, comprising: a connecting seat for mounting components, a connecting frame mounted on top of the connecting seat for connecting components, a hydraulic rod mounted on the bottom of the connecting frame for providing driving force, a welding unit mounted on the bottom of the hydraulic rod for welding copper foil, and a load-bearing plate. The moving hydraulic rod drives a threaded rod to move out from its interior, thereby causing a limiting plate to limit and fix the copper foil, preventing misalignment between the copper foil and the bottom of the welding unit during processing, which could lead to welding failure and reduce the yield rate. Pressure forces water from inside the water tank through the outlet pipe and nozzle pipe to cool the workpiece on top of the load-bearing plate, preventing excessive external temperature of the copper foil during welding, thus requiring cooling before removal.
[0004] In the processing of copper foil flexible connectors, welding is required for forming. The above-mentioned devices simultaneously limit and fix the copper foil flexible connector workpiece through the meshing of toothed plates and gears during welding. In this type of clamping method, if the thickness or width of the copper foil flexible connector to be welded changes, it is possible that the copper foil flexible connector may be clamped before the welding device reaches the workpiece position, or the copper foil flexible connector may be clamped before the welding device reaches the workpiece position, thus preventing the welding device from moving further down. Therefore, it has significant limitations. Hence, a copper foil flexible connector forming device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0031] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 5 The present invention will be described in further detail below.
[0032] This utility model discloses a copper foil flexible connector forming device. (Refer to...) Figures 1-5 It includes a base plate 1, a welding device 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1, a base frame 3 slidably connected to the top of the base plate 1, and a positioning mechanism 4 provided on the base frame 3;
[0033] The positioning mechanism 4 includes a rectangular frame 41, which is set on the top of the base frame 3. A first electric push rod 42 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rectangular frame 41. The first electric push rod 42 extends into the interior of the base frame 3 and is rotatably connected to the base frame 3. A copper foil flexible connector body 5 is placed on the top of the rectangular frame 41. Two movable plates 43 are slidably connected inside the rectangular frame 41. Two side clamping plates 44 are integrally formed on the top of the two movable plates 43. The side clamping plates 44 are respectively attached to the front and rear sides of the copper foil flexible connector body 5.
[0034] A frame plate 45 is fixedly connected to the top of the rectangular frame 41. A top fixing plate 46 is slidably connected to the inner side of the frame plate 45. The bottom of the top fixing plate 46 is in contact with the top of the copper foil flexible connector body 5. After the stacked copper foil flexible connector body 5 is placed on the top of the rectangular frame 41, the side clamping plate 44 is controlled to clamp the side of the copper foil flexible connector body 5. At the same time, the top fixing plate 46 is controlled to press and fix the top of the copper foil flexible connector body 5. This ensures the stability of the stacked copper foil flexible connector body 5 and can adapt to the positioning requirements of workpieces of different sizes. Then, the end of the copper foil flexible connector body 5 is pushed into the welding device 2 for welding by controlling the base frame 3 to move. After welding, the first electric push rod 42 can be further controlled to rotate to make the other end of the copper foil flexible connector body 5 continue to be welded, thus ensuring the stability and welding efficiency during the welding process.
[0035] A through slot is provided at the top of the rectangular frame 41. The side clamping plates 44 pass through the through slot and match it. The four side clamping plates 44 are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the top fixed plate 46. The side clamping plates 44 are distributed on both sides of the top fixed plate 46 to avoid collision between the side clamping plates 44 and the top fixed plate 46. A threaded adjusting rod 47 is rotatably connected to the top of the top fixed plate 46. The threaded adjusting rod 47 extends out of the frame plate 45 and is threadedly connected to the frame plate 45. After the threaded adjusting rod 47 rotates, it drives the top fixed plate 46 to move up and down. A bidirectional threaded rod 48 is rotatably connected inside the rectangular frame 41. The bidirectional threaded rod 48 extends out of the rectangular frame 41 and passes through two moving plates 43 in sequence. The bidirectional threaded rod 48 is threadedly connected to the two moving plates 43 respectively. The threads at both ends of the bidirectional threaded rod 48 are opposite in direction.
[0036] A limiting rod 49 is fixedly connected inside the base frame 3. A movable plate 498 is slidably connected to the outside of the limiting rod 49. A second electric push rod 491 is fixedly connected inside the base frame 3. One end of the second electric push rod 491 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 498. A rack 492 is fixedly connected to one side of the movable plate 498. A gear 493 is fixedly connected to the outside of the second electric push rod 491. The rack 492 is located on one side of the gear 493 and meshes with the gear 493. After the second electric push rod 491 is working, it pushes and pulls the movable plate 498 horizontally.
[0037] A rectangular plate 494 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1. A third electric push rod 495 is fixedly connected to one side of the rectangular plate 494. One end of the third electric push rod 495 is fixedly connected to one side of the base frame 3. After the third electric push rod 495 is working, it pushes and pulls the base frame 3 horizontally. An annular plate 496 is rotatably connected to the top of the base frame 3. A telescopic plate 497 is fixedly connected to the top of the annular plate 496. One end of the telescopic plate 497 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rectangular frame 41. The telescopic plate 497 provides a limit to the rectangular frame 41 to ensure the stability of the rectangular frame 41 during the vertical process.
[0038] In actual operation, first, the device is powered on. After the stacked copper foil flexible connector body 5 is placed on the top of the rectangular frame 41, the bidirectional threaded rod 48 is rotated. The bidirectional threaded rod 48 drives the two moving plates 43 to move towards each other. The moving plates 43 drive the side clamping plates 44 to move and clamp the side of the copper foil flexible connector body 5. Then, the threaded adjusting rod 47 is rotated. The threaded adjusting rod 47 drives the top fixing plate 46 to move downwards until the copper foil flexible connector body 5 is tightly pressed onto the rectangular frame 41. This clamps and fixes the copper foil flexible connector body 5, improves the stability of the copper foil flexible connector body 5 during the welding process, and avoids the copper foil flexible connector body 5 being broken apart due to insufficient stability during welding, which would result in the copper foil flexible connector body 5 having poor integrity after welding.
[0039] During the specific welding and forming process, after the third electric push rod 495 works, it pushes the base frame 3, causing the base frame 3 to move towards the welding device 2. The base frame 3 drives the first electric push rod 42 to move, and the first electric push rod 42 drives the rectangular frame 41 to move. Through the above operation, it can be seen that after the end of the copper foil flexible connector body 5 is pushed to the inside of the welding device 2, the welding device 2 can perform welding operation on it. The welding device 2 in this device is an existing welding structure, which is existing technology, so it will not be described in detail here.
[0040] During the above welding process, depending on the thickness of the copper foil flexible connector body 5, the first electric push rod 42 pushes and pulls the rectangular frame 41 up and down after it works, thereby adjusting the height of the copper foil flexible connector body 5 to adapt to welding requirements of different heights. After one end of the copper foil flexible connector body 5 is welded, the second electric push rod 491 pushes the movable plate 498 after it works. The movable plate 498 drives the rack 492 to move, the rack 492 drives the gear 493 to rotate, the gear 493 drives the second electric push rod 491 to rotate, and the second electric push rod 491 drives the rectangular frame 41 to rotate. Thus, through the above connection relationship, it can be seen that the copper foil flexible connector body 5 can also rotate around the second electric push rod 491 as the axis, thereby swinging the unwelded part at the other end to the direction of the welding device 2 and inserting it into the interior to be welded. This method of adjustment is more convenient and saves manpower compared to manual adjustment.
[0041] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
