TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of battery manufacturing, and particularly relates to a battery tab bending device. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the manufacturing process of batteries (such as lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion batteries, etc.), post-bending welding is a key technology. As the current-carrying terminal inside the battery, the tab needs to be tightly welded with the plate or terminal to achieve efficient transmission of current. However, the traditional tab bending and welding process often has the following problems:
[0003] 1. Insufficient welding reliability: due to unstable or inaccurate bending process, the tab may have position deviation or inconsistent bending angle during subsequent welding, resulting in insufficient contact area of the welding point, thereby increasing the risk of false welding and welding failure. Especially in high-rate discharge and frequent vibration application scenarios (such as electric vehicles and industrial equipment), such unreliable welding is prone to cause safety hazards such as welding point cracking and local overheating.
[0004] 2. Failure caused by stress concentration: in the traditional process, the tab after bending often cannot form uniform stress distribution, and external force (vibration, impact) is easily concentrated near the welding point, further increasing the possibility of welding point cracking or falling off. If the bending angle and bending position are not appropriate, this problem will be exacerbated, negatively affecting the reliability and life of the battery.
[0005] 3. Low automation level and limited production efficiency: many existing tab bending processes rely on manual or semi-automatic methods, which cannot guarantee bending accuracy and consistency in mass production; at the same time, manual operation cannot ensure stable bending speed and welding quality, which may result in poor product consistency and low yield, thereby increasing production costs.
[0006] 4. Balance between heat management and mechanical strength: in high-power-density batteries, the tab not only needs to ensure good electrical conductivity, but also needs to consider heat dissipation requirements. If the bending structure design is unreasonable, it may cause excessive contact resistance or undesirable heat concentration at the bending point. A reasonable bending structure can increase the contact area between the tab and the current collector, allowing the molten metal to cover the interface more evenly, thereby reducing contact resistance and improving heat dissipation efficiency.
[0007] Based on the above problems, in order to consider the electrochemical performance, mechanical strength, thermal management and production efficiency in the design and manufacture of storage battery, the process of welding after tab bending needs to be continuously optimized. Through the automatic and accurate bending device, the tab bending can be stably realized in mass production, and the high reliability of subsequent welding is ensured. This is very important for improving the service life, safety performance of the battery and adapting to the strict requirements of vehicle level, industrial level, etc. Therefore, how to design and manufacture a tab bending device with high efficiency, high precision and suitable for automatic production has become a research hotspot and technical difficulty in the field of storage battery manufacturing. The utility model is proposed in this background, aiming at providing a storage battery tab bending device which has reasonable structure, convenient operation and can effectively improve the bending efficiency and quality.
