[0003] To address this, a laser welding fixture for square lithium battery packs is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a laser welding fixture for a square lithium battery pack to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a laser welding fixture for a square lithium battery pack, comprising a housing, wherein battery cells are uniformly installed inside the housing, and each battery cell is provided with an electrode post, and an aluminum bar is welded onto the electrode post;

[0006] The top of the battery cell is provided with a base plate, and slots for accommodating the electrode posts and aluminum bars are evenly opened on the base plate. Multiple positioning pins are evenly installed on the upper surface of the base plate.

[0007] A cover plate is provided above the base plate, and through holes for laser welding are evenly provided on the cover plate. Positioning holes that are compatible with positioning pins are provided on the lower surface of the base plate.

[0008] Preferably, a plurality of first magnets are embedded in the upper surface of the base plate.

[0010] Preferably, the lower surface of the cover plate is provided with a plurality of protrusions for pressing down the aluminum bar.

[0011] Preferably, a wire harness is installed between the plurality of aluminum bars.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: by restricting the position between the aluminum bar and the pole by the base plate, and then pressing the aluminum bar by the cover plate, the position deviation of the aluminum bar is avoided. Then, laser welding can be performed through the through hole on the cover plate. This device effectively avoids defects such as hole bursting and incomplete welding. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a laser welding fixture for a square lithium battery pack, including a housing 10, in which battery cells 11 are evenly installed, and each battery cell 11 is provided with a terminal post 12. The center of the terminal post 12 is provided with a center hole for easy welding. An aluminum bar 13 is welded on the terminal post 12, and a wire harness 14 is installed between multiple aluminum bars 13. The aluminum bar 13 is provided with an aluminum terminal for collecting data. One end is pressed together with the wire harness, and the other end is fixed together with the aluminum bar 13 by ultrasonic welding.

[0021] The top of the battery cell 11 is provided with a base plate 1. The base plate 1 is evenly provided with slots 4 for accommodating the electrode post 12 and the aluminum bar 13. Multiple positioning pins 3 are evenly installed on the upper surface of the base plate 1. The lower surface of the base plate 1 is provided with positioning holes 9 that are compatible with the positioning pins 3. The cooperation between the positioning pins 3 and the positioning holes 9 can restrict the position of the cover plate 5 so that it can accurately press the aluminum bar 13.

[0022] A cover plate 5 is provided above the base plate 1. There are multiple cover plates 5. Through holes 7 for laser welding are evenly opened on the cover plates 5. Below the through holes 7 is an aluminum bar 13. The aluminum bar 13 is also provided with a central hole, which is compatible with the central hole on the pole post 12.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown: Multiple first magnets 2 are embedded in the upper surface of the base plate 1, and multiple second magnets 8 are embedded in the lower surface of the cover plate 5. The positions of the multiple first magnets 2 and the multiple second magnets 8 are corresponding. With the above arrangement, when the cover plate 5 is closed, the first magnets 2 and the second magnets 8 can make the base plate 1 and the cover plate 5 quickly complete the attraction work, thereby restricting the position of the aluminum plate 13.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown: The lower surface of the cover plate 5 is equipped with multiple protrusions 6 for pressing down the aluminum bar 13; with the above settings, since the aluminum bar 13 is connected to a wire harness and is not easy to place flat, the aluminum bar 13 is pressed down by the protrusions 6 after the cover plate 5 is closed, and the subsequent welding work on the edge is completed.

[0025] Working principle: such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, first place the base plate 1 inside the housing 10 containing the battery cell 11, so that the electrode post 12 is located inside the slot 4. Then place the aluminum bar 13 in the slot 4 in sequence. After placing a row of them, cover the corresponding cover plate 5 to prevent the aluminum bar 13 from coming out. After all the cover plates 5 are placed, the laser welding work can be arranged.

[0026] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
