Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of battery technology, and more specifically, relates to a drying device, battery processing equipment, and battery production line. Background Technology

[0002] From a market perspective, the application of battery devices is becoming increasingly widespread. Battery devices are not only used in energy storage systems such as hydropower, thermal power, wind power, and solar power plants, but also extensively in electric vehicles such as electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, and electric cars, as well as in military equipment and aerospace. As the application areas of battery devices continue to expand, the market demand is also constantly increasing.

[0003] In related technologies, battery devices can include multiple battery cells. During battery manufacturing, drying equipment is generally required to bake and dry the battery cells. However, in some cases, the drying process for battery cells is inconvenient and inefficient.

[0004] The above statements are for the purpose of providing background information in relation to this application only and do not necessarily constitute prior art. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above problems, embodiments of this application provide a drying device, a battery processing device, and a battery production line, which can improve the convenience and efficiency of drying battery cells.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a drying apparatus, comprising:

[0007] Fixed structure;

[0008] Multiple clamping structures are spaced apart along a first direction; at least some of the clamping structures are configured to reciprocate relative to the fixed structure along the first direction, two adjacent clamping structures are used to clamp or release the structure to be dried, and in two adjacent clamping structures, at least one clamping structure is a heating structure and is used to heat the structure to be dried; among the multiple clamping structures, the clamping structure on one side along the first direction is the first clamping structure.

[0009] An adjustment mechanism is connected to the first clamping structure and the fixing structure, and is used to adjust the position of the first clamping structure along the first direction;

[0010] The linkage structure is connected between two adjacent clamping structures and is configured to extend and retract along a first direction.

[0011] The drying equipment provided in this application embodiment uses a linkage structure connected between two adjacent clamping structures. This linkage structure is capable of telescopic movement along a first direction. When an adjusting mechanism drives the first clamping structure to move along the first direction to adjust its position, the linkage structure allows multiple clamping structures to move in unison along the first direction. Thus, by driving the first clamping structure with the adjusting mechanism, multiple clamping structures can be deployed in unison along the first direction, allowing the space between adjacent clamping structures to accommodate the structure to be dried. This simplifies the operation of accommodating the structure between adjacent clamping structures, improves convenience, and enhances the ease and efficiency of the drying process.

[0012] In some embodiments, two adjacent clamping structures are respectively a second clamping structure and a third clamping structure; the linkage structure includes:

[0013] The first linkage component includes a first main body and a first limiting part disposed on the first main body, the first main body being disposed on the second clamping structure;

[0014] The second linkage includes a second main body and a second limiting part disposed on the second main body. The second main body is disposed on the third clamping structure. The second linkage can move relative to the first linkage along the first direction with the third clamping structure, and the second limiting part is located on the side of the first limiting part away from the third clamping structure along the first direction.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, after the adjusting mechanism drives the first clamping structure to unfold, under the linkage of the linkage structure, multiple clamping structures can unfold along the first direction, and a predetermined gap can be formed between any two adjacent clamping structures. Therefore, it is convenient to accommodate multiple structures to be dried at once in the drying device, thereby helping to improve the clamping efficiency of multiple structures to be dried, and thus improving the drying efficiency of the structures to be dried.

[0016] In some embodiments, the first main body is provided with a first limiting part at both ends along the second direction, and the second main body is provided with two second limiting parts spaced apart along the second direction. In the linkage structure, each first limiting part and each second limiting part are correspondingly limited and cooperated, and the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular.

[0017] This configuration improves the linkage stability between two adjacent clamping structures, which helps to improve the drying efficiency of the structure to be dried.

[0018] In some embodiments, the first linkage member further includes a third limiting portion disposed on the first main body portion. The third limiting portion is spaced apart from the side of the first limiting portion away from the third clamping structure along the first direction, and forms a first limiting groove with the first limiting portion along the first direction. The second limiting portion is limited in the first limiting groove along the first direction and can move in the first direction within the first limiting groove.

[0019] And / or, the second main body and the second limiting part are spaced apart along the first direction to form a second limiting groove, the first limiting part is limited in the second limiting groove along the first direction, and can move in the second limiting groove along the first direction.

[0020] This allows the first and second linkage components to stably achieve linked action.

[0021] In some embodiments, the drying apparatus further includes a guide rod fixedly connected to a fixed structure, the guide rod passing through at least a portion of the clamping structure along a first direction, and the at least a portion of the clamping structure being configured to reciprocate along the guide rod.

[0022] This configuration allows the movement of the clamping structure along the first direction to be guided by the guide rod, which helps the drying device to stably perform the drying operation on the structure to be dried, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the structure to be dried.

[0023] In some embodiments, among the multiple clamping structures, all clamping structures other than the first clamping structure are fourth clamping structures, and each fourth clamping structure is a heating structure.

[0024] This setup helps to heat the structure to be dried efficiently, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the structure.

[0025] In some embodiments, the fourth clamping structure includes a first clamping member and a first heating layer disposed on both sides of the first clamping member along a first direction.

[0026] The fourth clamping structure has a first heating layer on both sides along the first direction, which helps to further improve the heating efficiency of the structure to be dried, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the structure to be dried.

[0027] In some embodiments, the plurality of clamping structures include a first clamping structure, a fifth clamping structure, and a plurality of fourth clamping structures, wherein in a first direction, each fourth clamping structure is disposed between the first clamping structure and the fifth clamping structure;

[0028] The fourth clamping structure includes a first clamping member and a first heating layer disposed on both sides of the first clamping member along the first direction. The fifth clamping structure includes a second clamping member and a second heating layer, wherein the second heating layer is disposed on the side of the second clamping member close to the fourth clamping structure along the first direction.

[0029] This configuration ensures that all clamping structures, except for the first clamping structure, can effectively heat and dry the structure to be dried, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the structure.

[0030] In some embodiments, each clamping structure is a heating structure.

[0031] This configuration allows each clamping structure to heat the corresponding structure to be dried, thus enabling the drying device to achieve a highly efficient drying effect on each structure.

[0032] In some embodiments, among the multiple clamping structures, all clamping structures other than the first clamping structure are fourth clamping structures. The fourth clamping structure includes a first clamping member and a first heating layer disposed on both sides of the first clamping member along a first direction. The first clamping structure includes a third clamping member and a third heating layer, with the third heating layer disposed on the side of the third clamping member close to the fourth clamping structure along the first direction.

[0033] This configuration allows each structure to be dried to be heated on both sides along the first direction via a corresponding heating structure, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the drying device and thus increasing the drying efficiency.

[0034] In some embodiments, the drying apparatus further includes a flexible element, the two ends of which are connected to two adjacent clamping structures and are at least partially located between the two adjacent clamping structures to wrap around and support the structure to be dried along a second direction; the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular.

[0035] By adopting the above technical solution, when the structure to be dried is accommodated between two adjacent clamping structures, the flexible member located between the two adjacent clamping structures can hold the structure to be dried. Thus, when the first clamping structure moves along the compression direction to clamp multiple structures to be dried, the structure to be dried will not slide with the flexible member, but will remain held by the flexible member. This reduces the risk of wear on the structure to be dried during its movement along the first direction and improves the protective effect on the drying structure.

[0036] In some embodiments, the heating structure is provided with a first temperature sensor, which is used to detect the temperature of the heating structure, and the heating structure is used to heat according to the detection result of the first temperature sensor.

[0037] This configuration enables temperature control of the heating structure, specifically allowing the heating structure to heat to a predetermined temperature based on the first temperature sensor, thereby improving the drying effect.

[0038] In some embodiments, the heating structure is further provided with a second temperature sensor spaced apart from the first temperature sensor. The second temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature of the heating structure and to monitor the first temperature sensor.

[0039] This setup facilitates monitoring of the first temperature sensor, which in turn aids in the maintenance of the drying unit.

[0040] In some embodiments, the heating structure is used to generate heat when energized, and the heating structure is provided with a third temperature sensor, which is configured to disconnect the circuit of the heating structure at a preset temperature.

[0041] By adopting the above technical solution, when the temperature sensed by the third temperature sensor reaches the preset temperature, it indicates that the heating structure is overheating and may malfunction. At this time, the third temperature sensor directly disconnects the circuit of the heating structure. In this way, the heating function of the heating structure can be stopped, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the drying device and the structure to be dried due to overheating.

[0042] In some embodiments, the adjusting mechanism includes a screw and a rotating member. The screw is rotatably connected to a first clamping structure, the screw and a fixed structure are threadedly connected, and the rotating member is disposed at the end of the screw away from the first clamping structure.

[0043] With this configuration, rotating the rotating component causes the screw to rotate relative to the fixed structure, thereby causing the screw to move the first clamping structure along the first direction. This makes the structure of the adjustment mechanism very simple.

[0044] In some embodiments, the drying equipment includes a housing, which contains a plurality of independent drying spaces, and each drying space contains a drying device.

[0045] By using multiple independent drying spaces, the drying operations of the drying devices within each space can be independent and do not interfere with each other. This allows the drying devices in one space to operate while the drying devices in another space are loading or unloading the structure to be dried. Therefore, this helps to improve the drying efficiency of the structure.

[0046] In some embodiments, the drying equipment further includes a housing, which has at least one drying space, a fixing structure with a receiving space, a clamping structure and a linkage structure both located within the receiving space, and the fixing structure being slidably disposed within the drying space along a first direction.

[0047] By pushing and pulling the fixing structure along the first direction, the drying device can be pushed into or pulled out of the drying space, which facilitates the loading and unloading of the structure to be dried.

[0048] In some embodiments, a plurality of drying devices are provided in the drying space along a second direction, wherein the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular.

[0049] This arrangement allows multiple drying devices to be stacked within the drying space, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the structure to be dried.

[0050] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a battery processing apparatus, including a drying device.

[0051] The battery processing equipment provided in this application improves the convenience and efficiency of drying battery cells by employing the drying equipment involved in the above embodiments, thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of battery processing.

[0052] In some embodiments, the battery processing equipment further includes:

[0053] Stacking equipment is used to stack individual battery cells to form a battery device.

[0054] With this setup, battery devices can be manufactured.

[0055] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide a battery production line, including battery processing equipment.

[0056] The battery production line provided in this application improves battery production efficiency by employing the battery processing equipment involved in the above embodiments.

[0057] The above description is only an overview of the technical solution of this application.

Detailed Implementation

[0069] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0070] Unless otherwise specified, all embodiments and optional embodiments of this application can be combined to form new technical solutions.

[0071] Unless otherwise specified, all technical features and optional technical features of the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other to form new technical solutions.

[0072] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0073] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0074] In the description of the embodiments of this application, "multiple" means two or more, and unless otherwise explicitly specified, "two or more" includes two. Correspondingly, "multiple groups" means two or more groups, including two groups.

[0075] In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0076] In the description of this application, the term "and / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent three possibilities: A exists, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists. Additionally, in this application, the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0077] In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the technical terms "proximity" and "adjacent" refer to proximity in location. For example, among three components A1, A2, and B, if the distance between A1 and B is greater than the distance between A2 and B, then A2 is closer to B than A1, meaning A2 is adjacent to B. Alternatively, B can be said to be adjacent to A2; in other words, A2 is adjacent to B. Similarly, when there are multiple components C, namely C1, C2, ... CN, if one component C, such as C2, is closer to component B than the other components C, then B is adjacent to C2; in other words, C2 is adjacent to B.

[0078] Although this application has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, various modifications can be made thereto and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of this application. In particular, the technical features mentioned in the various embodiments can be combined in any manner, provided there is no structural conflict. This application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.

[0079] From a market perspective, the application of battery devices is becoming increasingly widespread. Battery devices are not only used in energy storage systems such as hydropower, thermal power, wind power, and solar power plants, but also extensively in electric vehicles such as electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, and electric cars, as well as in military equipment and aerospace. As the application areas of battery devices continue to expand, the market demand is also constantly increasing.

[0080] In related technologies, a battery device may include multiple battery cells, where a battery cell is the smallest unit that stores and outputs electrical energy.

[0081] During battery manufacturing, a drying device is typically used to bake and dry the battery cells. Specifically, the drying device includes multiple clamping structures. Two adjacent clamping structures are used to clamp or release the battery cells, and the clamping structures are also heating structures used to heat and dry the battery cells.

[0082] In the process of baking and drying battery cells, multiple clamping structures are typically first unfolded to ensure sufficient spacing between any two adjacent structures to accommodate a battery cell. Then, the battery cell is placed between two adjacent clamping structures. Next, the clamping structures are compressed so that any two adjacent structures hold the corresponding battery cell, and a heating structure then dries the cell. Finally, the clamping structures are unfolded again to remove the battery cell from the drying device.

[0083] In some cases, each clamping structure needs to be driven one by one before the battery cell can be accommodated between two adjacent clamping structures. This makes the operation of accommodating the battery cell between two adjacent clamping structures more complicated and less convenient, resulting in low convenience and efficiency of the drying operation of the battery cell.

[0084] Based on the above considerations, embodiments of this application provide a drying device, a battery processing device, and a battery production line. Adjacent clamping structures are connected by a linkage structure, and this linkage structure is capable of telescopic movement along a first direction. When an adjusting mechanism drives the first clamping structure to move along the first direction to adjust its position, the linkage structure allows multiple clamping structures to move in unison along the first direction. Thus, by driving the first clamping structure with the adjusting mechanism, multiple clamping structures can be deployed in unison along the first direction, allowing the space between adjacent clamping structures to accommodate the structure to be dried. This simplifies the operation of accommodating the structure between adjacent clamping structures, improves convenience, and enhances the ease and efficiency of the drying process.

[0085] It should be noted that although the drying equipment provided in this application embodiment was developed based on the problems of inconvenience and low efficiency in the baking and drying process of battery cells, the application scenarios of the drying equipment are not limited to this. Understandably, the drying equipment can be used to bake and dry battery cells, as well as other structures to be dried.

[0086] The battery processing equipment involved in the embodiments of this application is mainly used to process battery devices.

[0087] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a battery processing apparatus 1000 provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 2 This is a perspective structural view of the drying apparatus 10 of the drying equipment 100 provided in some embodiments of this application. The battery processing equipment 1000 includes the drying apparatus 100, which is used to bake and dry battery cells m.

[0088] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the battery processing equipment 1000 may also include a stacking device 200, which is used to stack multiple battery cells m to form a battery device.

[0089] Among them, the battery cell m can be a stationary battery or a battery cell m with liquid electrolyte.

[0090] In some embodiments, the battery cell m can be a thin battery cell m such as a solid-state battery, a blade battery, or a pouch battery.

[0091] In some embodiments, when the electrolyte in a single battery cell m is liquid, the single battery cell m is typically dried using a drying device 100 before the electrolyte is injected into it. Then, after the electrolyte is injected into the dried single battery cell m, multiple single battery cells m are stacked using a stacking device 200 to form a battery device.

[0092] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 and Figure 3 ,in, Figure 3 for Figure 2 A partial perspective view of the drying apparatus 10 provided. The drying apparatus 100 provided in this embodiment includes a fixed structure 1, an adjusting mechanism 3, a linkage structure 4, and multiple clamping structures 2. The multiple clamping structures 2 are spaced apart along a first direction Y. At least some of the clamping structures 2 are configured to reciprocate relative to the fixed structure 1 along the first direction Y. Two adjacent clamping structures 2 are used to clamp or release the structure to be dried, and at least one of the adjacent clamping structures 2 is a heating structure used to heat the structure to be dried. Among the multiple clamping structures 2, the clamping structure 2 on one side along the first direction Y is the first clamping structure 2a. The adjusting mechanism 3 is connected to the first clamping structure 2a and the fixed structure 1, and is used to adjust the position of the first clamping structure 2a along the first direction Y. The linkage structure 4 is connected between two adjacent clamping structures 2 and is configured to extend and retract along the first direction Y.

[0093] Fixed structure 1 can be a box, frame, or other structure.

[0094] Clamping structure 2 refers to a structure used to clamp the structure to be dried. Two adjacent clamping structures 2 are used to jointly clamp the structure to be dried. Specifically, two adjacent clamping structures 2 are used to clamp the structure to be dried along a first direction Y. The first direction Y is the distribution direction of the multiple clamping structures 2.

[0095] At least some of the clamping structures 2 are configured to be able to reciprocate relative to the fixed structure 1 along the first direction Y. This means that each clamping structure 2 can reciprocate relative to the fixed structure 1 along the first direction Y, or that a portion of the clamping structures 2 can reciprocate relative to the fixed structure 1 along the first direction Y, and another portion of the clamping structures 2 is fixedly connected to the fixed structure 1.

[0096] As an example, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, each clamping structure 2 can move relative to the fixed structure 1 along the first direction Y.

[0097] As an example, the clamping structure 2 on the side away from the first clamping structure 2a along the first direction Y is fixedly connected to the fixed structure 1, and the other clamping structures 2 (including the first clamping structure 2a) can move relative to the fixed structure 1 along the first direction Y.

[0098] Understandably, in any two adjacent clamping structures 2, at least one clamping structure 2 can move relative to the fixed structure 1 along the first direction Y, thereby reducing the distance between the two adjacent clamping structures 2 and enabling them to jointly clamp the structure to be dried along the first direction Y. In any two adjacent clamping structures 2, at least one clamping structure 2 can also move relative to the fixed structure 1 along the first direction Y, thereby increasing the distance between the two adjacent clamping structures 2 and enabling them to release the structure to be dried along the first direction Y.

[0099] A heating structure refers to a structure with heating properties. Specifically, when the heating structure is working, it generates heat, which can be transferred to the structure to be dried, thereby achieving a drying effect. It should be noted that when the clamping structure 2 clamps the structure to be dried, the clamping structure 2 abuts against the structure to be dried, so that the heat generated by the clamping structure 2 can be efficiently transferred to the structure to be dried, thereby achieving an efficient drying effect.

[0100] The adjustment mechanism 3 is a mechanism used to adjust the position of the first clamping structure 2a along the first direction Y. Specifically, the adjustment mechanism 3 is used to drive the first clamping structure 2a to reciprocate along the first direction Y, so as to adjust the position of the first clamping structure 2a in the first direction Y.

[0101] The linkage structure 4 is a structure used to link the movement of two adjacent clamping structures 2. Understandably, when one of the two adjacent clamping structures 2 moves towards the other along the first direction Y, the linkage structure 4 can compress along the first direction Y to accommodate the relative movement of the two adjacent clamping structures 2; when one clamping structure 2 moves away from the other along the first direction Y, the other clamping structure 2, under the linkage action of the linkage structure 4, is driven by the clamping structure 2 and can also move in that direction.

[0102] The number of linkage structures 4 can be one or more. As an example, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, there are multiple linkage structures 4, and any two adjacent clamping structures 2 are connected by a linkage structure 4.

[0103] Understandably, under the adjustment of the adjustment mechanism 3, the first clamping structure 2a can move away from other clamping structures 2 along the unfolding direction V. Thus, under the linkage of the linkage structure 4, at least some of the clamping structures 2 can move along the unfolding direction V, thereby increasing the distance between adjacent clamping structures 2 and allowing multiple clamping structures 2 to unfold along the first direction Y. Under the adjustment of the adjustment mechanism 3, the first clamping structure 2a can move towards other clamping structures 2 along the compression direction W. Thus, under the sequential pushing action of the clamping structures 2 and the structure to be dried, at least some of the clamping structures 2 can move along the compression direction W, and the linkage structure 4 compresses along the first direction Y, causing multiple clamping structures 2 to unfold along the first direction Y, thereby reducing the distance between adjacent clamping structures 2 to jointly clamp the structure to be dried.

[0104] The unfolding direction V and the compression direction W are both parallel to the first direction Y, and the unfolding direction V and the compression direction W are opposite.

[0105] The drying device 100 provided in this application embodiment is connected by a linkage structure 4 between two adjacent clamping structures 2. The linkage structure 4 is capable of telescopic movement along a first direction Y. When the adjusting mechanism 3 drives the first clamping structure 2a to move along the first direction Y to adjust the position of the first clamping structure 2a along the first direction Y, the multiple clamping structures 2 can be linked together along the first direction Y under the linkage action of the linkage structure 4, based on the connection between the two adjacent clamping structures 2. In this way, by driving the first clamping structure 2a by the adjusting mechanism 3, multiple clamping structures 2 can be linked together along the first direction Y to unfold, so that the space between two adjacent clamping structures 2 can accommodate the structure to be dried. This simplifies the operation of accommodating the structure to be dried between two adjacent clamping structures 2, improves convenience, and contributes to the convenience and efficiency of the drying operation of the structure to be dried.

[0106] In some embodiments, please refer to the following: Figure 2 to Figure 6 ,in, Figure 4 for Figure 2 Enlarged view of point A in the middle. Figure 5 for Figure 3 The main view, Figure 6 for Figure 5 Enlarged view at point B. The two adjacent clamping structures 2 are the second clamping structure 2b and the third clamping structure 2c, respectively.

[0107] Among the two clamping structures 2 located on one side along the first direction Y, the first clamping structure 2a can be the second clamping structure 2b or the third clamping structure 2c.

[0108] Among the two clamping structures 2 located away from the first clamping structure 2a along the first direction Y, the fifth clamping structure 2 can be either the second clamping structure 2b or the third clamping structure 2c.

[0109] In some embodiments, please refer to the following: Figure 2 to Figure 6 The linkage structure 4 includes a first linkage member 41 and a second linkage member 42. The first linkage member 41 includes a first main body portion 411 and a first limiting portion 412 disposed on the first main body portion 411, which is disposed on the second clamping structure 2b. The second linkage member 42 includes a second main body portion 421 and a second limiting portion 422 disposed on the second main body portion 421, which is disposed on the third clamping structure 2c. The second linkage member 42 is capable of moving relative to the first linkage member 41 along the first direction Y with the third clamping structure 2c, and the second limiting portion 422 is limited to the side of the first limiting portion 412 away from the third clamping structure 2c along the first direction Y.

[0110] The first linkage member 41 and the second linkage member 42 are two structures of the linkage structure 4. Understandably, the first linkage member 41 is fixedly connected to the second clamping structure 2b, and the first linkage member 41 can move with the second clamping structure 2b. The second linkage member 42 is fixedly connected to the third clamping structure 2c, and the second linkage member 42 can move with the third clamping structure 2c.

[0111] The first main body portion 411 is the main body portion of the first linkage member 41, and the first limiting portion 412 is a portion protruding from the first main body portion 411 for limiting. As an example, the first limiting portion 412 protrudes from the first main body portion 411 along the second direction Z. As another example, the first limiting portion 412 protrudes from the first main body portion 411 along the third direction X.

[0112] The second main body 421 is the main body of the second linkage 42, and the second limiting part 422 is the limiting part on the second main body 421.

[0113] Among them, the third direction X is perpendicular to the first direction Y, and the third direction X intersects with the second direction Z.

[0114] Understandably, the second limiting part 422 and the first limiting part 412 are hooked together along the first direction Y.

[0115] For ease of description, the third clamping structure 2c is defined as being closer to the adjusting mechanism 3 along the first direction Y than the second clamping structure 2b. That is, the second clamping structure 2b and the third clamping structure 2c are distributed sequentially along the unfolding direction V. When the adjusting mechanism 3 drives the first clamping structure 2a to move along the unfolding direction V, the third clamping structure 2c moves away from the second clamping structure 2b along the unfolding direction V, so that the second limiting part 422 hooks the first limiting part 412 along the unfolding direction V and pulls the first limiting part 412 to move along the unfolding direction V. This allows the second clamping structure 2b to move along the unfolding direction V under the drive of the third clamping structure 2c, realizing the unfolding of the second clamping structure 2b and the third clamping structure 2c.

[0116] By adopting the above technical solution, after the adjusting mechanism 3 drives the first clamping structure 2a to unfold, under the linkage of the linkage structure 4, multiple clamping structures 2 can unfold along the first direction Y, and a predetermined gap can be formed between any two adjacent clamping structures 2. Therefore, it is convenient to accommodate multiple structures to be dried in the drying device 10 at one time, thereby helping to improve the clamping efficiency of multiple structures to be dried, and thus improving the drying efficiency of the structures to be dried.

[0117] Furthermore, the arrangement of the first linkage 41 and the second linkage 42 simplifies the structure of the drying device 10.

[0118] In some embodiments, please refer to the following: Figure 2 to Figure 6 The first main body 411 has a first limiting part 412 at both ends along the second direction Z, and the second main body 421 has two second limiting parts 422 spaced apart along the second direction Z. In the linkage structure 4, each first limiting part 412 and each second limiting part 422 are correspondingly limited and engaged. The first direction Y and the second direction Z are perpendicular.

[0119] Understandably, the first limiting part 412 protrudes from the first main body part 411 along the second direction Z.

[0120] Understandably, in the linkage structure 4, on one side along the second direction Z, the first limiting part 412 and the second limiting part 422 are hooked together along the first direction Y; on the other side along the second direction Z, the first limiting part 412 and the second limiting part 422 are hooked together along the first direction Y.

[0121] This configuration can improve the linkage stability between two adjacent clamping structures 2, which helps to improve the drying efficiency of the structure to be dried.

[0122] In some embodiments, please refer to the following: Figure 2 to Figure 6The first linkage 41 also includes a third limiting part 413, which is disposed on the first main body 411. The third limiting part 413 is spaced apart from the first limiting part 412 on the side away from the third clamping structure 2c along the first direction Y. That is, the third limiting part 413 and the first limiting part 412 are spaced apart on the first main body 411 along the first direction Y, and the third limiting part 413 is located on the side of the first limiting part 412 away from the third clamping structure 2c along the first direction Y. The third limiting part 413 and the first limiting part 412 are spaced apart along the first direction Y to form a first limiting groove 401. The second limiting part 422 is limited within the first limiting groove 401 along the first direction Y, and the second limiting part 422 can move within the first limiting groove 401 along the first direction Y.

[0123] The third limiting part 413 refers to the part that protrudes from the first main body part 411 and is used for limiting.

[0124] The second limiting part 422 can move along the first direction Y within the first limiting groove 401 and is limited within the first limiting groove 401, so that the first linkage member 41 and the second linkage member 42 can stably achieve linkage action.

[0125] In some embodiments, please refer to the following: Figure 2 to Figure 6 The first main body 411 is provided with a first limiting part 412, a third limiting part 413 and a first limiting groove 401 on both sides along the second direction Z.

[0126] In some embodiments, please refer to the following: Figure 2 to Figure 6 The second main body 421 and the second limiting part 422 are spaced apart along the first direction Y to form a second limiting groove 402. The first limiting part 412 is limited in the second limiting groove 402 along the first direction Y. The first limiting part 412 can move in the second limiting groove 402 along the first direction Y.

[0127] The first limiting part 412 can move along the first direction Y within the second limiting groove 402 and is limited within the second limiting groove 402, so that the first linkage member 41 and the second linkage member 42 can stably achieve linkage action.

[0128] In some embodiments, please refer to the following: Figure 2 to Figure 6 The second linkage 42 is provided with two second limiting grooves 402, which are distributed along the second direction Z.

[0129] In some embodiments, the linkage structure 4 can be a telescopic structure such as a telescopic sleeve or a spring.

[0130] In some embodiments, please refer to the following: Figure 2 to Figure 5The drying device 10 also includes a guide rod 5, which is fixedly connected to the fixing structure 1. The guide rod 5 passes through at least part of the clamping structure 2 along the first direction Y, and the at least part of the clamping structure 2 is configured to reciprocate along the guide rod 5.

[0131] Understandably, the guide rod 5 is set to extend along the first direction Y.

[0132] The guide rod 5 can pass through each clamping structure 2, and each clamping structure 2 can move along the guide rod 5 in the first direction Y. Alternatively, the guide rod 5 can pass through part of the clamping structure 2, and part of the clamping structure 2 can move along the guide rod 5 in the first direction Y.

[0133] This configuration allows the clamping structure 2 to move along the first direction Y through the guide rod 5, which helps the drying device 10 to stably perform the drying operation on the structure to be dried, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the structure to be dried.

[0134] In some embodiments, please refer to the following: Figure 2 to Figure 5 The clamping structure 2 has guide rods 5 at both ends along the third direction X, that is, the structure to be dried has guide rods 5 on both sides along the third direction X. At any end of the third direction X, there are multiple guide rods 5, and the multiple guide rods 5 are spaced apart along the second direction Z.

[0135] This configuration helps to further improve the stability of the clamping structure 2 along the first direction Y.

[0136] Wherein, the first direction Y is perpendicular to the second direction Z, the first direction Y is perpendicular to the third direction X, and the second direction Z is perpendicular to the third direction X.

[0137] In some embodiments, please refer to the following: Figure 2 to Figure 6 In the multiple clamping structures 2, all clamping structures 2 except the first clamping structure 2a are fourth clamping structures 2d, and each fourth clamping structure 2d is a heating structure.

[0138] This setup helps to heat the structure to be dried efficiently, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the structure.

[0139] In some embodiments, please refer to the following: Figure 2 to Figure 7 ,in, Figure 7 for Figure 2 A perspective view of the fourth clamping structure 2d of the provided drying apparatus 10. The fourth clamping structure 2d includes a first clamping member 21 and a first heating layer 22 disposed on both sides of the first clamping member 21 along the first direction Y.

[0140] The first clamping member 21 is the main structure of the first clamping structure 2a, and is used to support and fix the first heating layer 22.

[0141] The first heating layer 22 refers to a structural layer with heating properties. The first heating layer 22 can be a heating element or a heating film. The first heating layer 22 can be a heating mesh, heating element, or other structures. The first heating layer 22 can be heated when electricity is applied.

[0142] The first heating layer 22 is provided on both sides of the fourth clamping structure 2d along the first direction Y, which helps to further improve the heating efficiency of the structure to be dried, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the structure to be dried.

[0143] In some embodiments, the plurality of clamping structures 2 include a first clamping structure 2a, a fifth clamping structure 2, and a plurality of fourth clamping structures 2d. The plurality of fifth clamping structures 2 are spaced apart along the first direction Y. Each fourth clamping structure 2d is disposed between the first clamping structure 2a and the fifth clamping structure 2 along the first direction Y. The fourth clamping structure 2d includes a first clamping member 21 and a first heating layer 22 disposed on both sides of the first clamping member 21 along the first direction Y. The fifth clamping structure 2 includes a second clamping member and a second heating layer, the second heating layer being disposed on the side of the second clamping member along the first direction Y near the fourth clamping structure 2d.

[0144] The first clamping member 21 is the main structure of the first clamping structure 2a, and is used to support and fix the first heating layer 22.

[0145] The first heating layer 22 refers to a structural layer with heating properties. The first heating layer 22 can be a heating element or a heating film. The first heating layer 22 can be a heating mesh, heating element, or other structures. The first heating layer 22 can be heated when electricity is applied.

[0146] The second clamping member is the main structure of the fifth clamping structure 2, and is used to support and fix the second heating layer.

[0147] The second heating layer refers to a structural layer with heating properties. This second heating layer can be a heating element or a heating film. It can also be a heating mesh, heating element, or other similar structure. Furthermore, the second heating layer can be heated when electricity is applied.

[0148] This configuration ensures that all clamping structures 2 except the first clamping structure 2a can effectively heat and dry the structure to be dried, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the structure to be dried.

[0149] In some embodiments, each clamping structure 2 is a heating structure.

[0150] This configuration allows each clamping structure 2 to heat the corresponding structure to be dried, thereby enabling the drying device 10 to achieve a highly efficient drying effect on each structure.

[0151] Understandably, both the first clamping structure 2a and the fourth clamping structure 2d are heating structures. Alternatively, the first clamping structure 2a, the fourth clamping structure 2d, and the fifth clamping structure 2 are all heating structures.

[0152] In some embodiments, among the plurality of clamping structures 2, all clamping structures 2 other than the first clamping structure 2a are fourth clamping structures 2d. The fourth clamping structure 2d includes a first clamping member 21 and a first heating layer 22 disposed on both sides of the first clamping member 21 along the first direction Y. The first clamping structure 2a includes a third clamping member and a third heating layer, the third heating layer being disposed on the side of the third clamping member close to the fourth clamping structure 2d along the first direction Y.

[0153] The first clamping member 21 is the main structure of the first clamping structure 2a, and is used to support and fix the first heating layer 22.

[0154] The first heating layer 22 refers to a structural layer with heating properties. The first heating layer 22 can be a heating element or a heating film. The first heating layer 22 can be a heating mesh, heating element, or other structures. The first heating layer 22 can be heated when electricity is applied.

[0155] The third clamping member is the main structure of the first clamping structure 2a, and is used to support and fix the third heating layer.

[0156] The third heating layer refers to a structural layer with heating properties. This third heating layer can be a heating element or a heating film. It can also be a heating mesh, heating element, or other similar structure. Furthermore, the third heating layer can be heated when electricity is applied.

[0157] This configuration allows each structure to be dried to be heated on both sides of the first direction Y via a corresponding heating structure, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the drying device 10 and thus increasing the drying efficiency.

[0158] In some embodiments, please refer to the following: Figure 5 and Figure 6 The drying device 10 also includes a flexible member 6, the two ends of which are connected to two adjacent clamping structures 2. At least a portion of the flexible member 6 is located between the two adjacent clamping structures 2 to wrap around and support the structure to be dried along the second direction Z. The first direction Y and the second direction Z are perpendicular.

[0159] Flexible component 6 refers to a structure capable of flexible deformation. Flexible component 6 can be a Teflon film, cloth, silicone film, or other similar structures.

[0160] Understandably, the second direction Z is the direction of gravity.

[0161] By adopting the above technical solution, when the structure to be dried is accommodated between two adjacent clamping structures 2, the flexible member 6 located between the two adjacent clamping structures 2 can hold the structure to be dried. In this way, when the first clamping structure 2a moves along the compression direction W so that multiple clamping structures 2 clamp multiple structures to be dried, the structure to be dried will not slide with the flexible member 6, but will still remain in the state of being held by the flexible member 6. This can reduce the risk of wear on the structure to be dried during its movement along the first direction Y, and improve the protective effect on the drying structure.

[0162] In some embodiments, please refer to the following: Figure 2 to Figure 7 The heating structure is equipped with a first temperature sensor 7, which is used to detect the temperature of the heating structure, and the heating structure is used to heat according to the detection result of the first temperature sensor 7.

[0163] The first temperature sensor 7 is a temperature sensor used to detect the temperature of the heating structure.

[0164] The heating structure is used to heat according to the detection result of the first temperature sensor 7. This means that the temperature of the heating structure detected by the first temperature sensor 7 is compared with a predetermined temperature, and the heating structure is heated according to the comparison to make the heating structure heat up to close to the predetermined temperature.

[0165] This configuration enables temperature control of the heating structure, specifically allowing the heating structure to heat to a predetermined temperature based on the first temperature sensor 7, thereby improving the drying effect.

[0166] In some embodiments, please refer to the following: Figure 2 to Figure 7 The heating structure is also equipped with a second temperature sensor 8, which is spaced apart from the first temperature sensor 7. The second temperature sensor 8 is used to detect the temperature of the heating structure and to monitor the first temperature sensor 7.

[0167] The second temperature sensor 8 is a temperature sensor used to detect the temperature of the heating structure. Understandably, the first temperature sensor 7 and the second temperature sensor 8 are used to detect the temperature at two locations on the heating structure.

[0168] The second temperature sensor 8 is used to monitor the first temperature sensor 7. Specifically, the temperature of the heating structure detected by the second temperature sensor 8 is compared with the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor 7. When the difference between the two is less than a predetermined value, it indicates that the first temperature sensor 7 is in optimal condition; when the difference is greater than the predetermined value, it indicates that either the first temperature sensor 7 or the second temperature sensor 8 has malfunctioned. In this case, the heating operation of the heating structure can be stopped for maintenance.

[0169] This setup facilitates the monitoring of the first temperature sensor 7, thereby aiding in the maintenance of the drying unit 10.

[0170] In some embodiments, please refer to the following: Figure 2 to Figure 7 The heating structure is used to generate heat when energized. The heating structure is equipped with a third temperature sensor 9, which is configured to disconnect the circuit of the heating structure at a preset temperature.

[0171] Specifically, the first heating layer 22 and the third heating layer are used for heating when energized. For example, the resistance of the first heating layer 22 and the third heating layer is a resistive load.

[0172] The third temperature sensor 9 refers to a switching structure used for sensing temperature.

[0173] The preset temperature can be the temperature at which the heating structure overheats.

[0174] By adopting the above technical solution, when the temperature sensed by the third temperature sensor 9 reaches the preset temperature, it indicates that the heating structure is overheating and may malfunction. At this time, the third temperature sensor 9 directly disconnects the circuit of the heating structure. In this way, the heating function of the heating structure can be stopped, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the drying device 10 and the structure to be dried due to overheating.

[0175] In some embodiments, please refer to the following: Figure 2 to Figure 5 The adjusting mechanism 3 includes a screw 31 and a rotating member 32. The screw 31 is rotatably connected to the first clamping structure 2a. The screw 31 and the fixed structure 1 are threadedly connected. The rotating member 32 is located at the end of the screw 31 away from the first clamping structure 2a.

[0176] Understandably, the screw 31 is positioned on the first clamping structure 2a along the first direction Y.

[0177] With this configuration, by rotating the rotating component 32, the screw 31 can be rotated relative to the fixed structure 1 under the drive of the rotating component 32, thereby causing the screw 31 to drive the first clamping structure 2a to move along the first direction Y. This makes the structure of the adjusting mechanism 3 very simple.

[0178] In some embodiments, the adjustment mechanism 3 can be an electric cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, or other mechanism used to output linear motion.

[0179] In some embodiments, the fixing structure 1 includes a first wall 11 and a second wall 12 spaced apart along a first direction Y, and a plurality of clamping structures 2 are disposed between the first wall 11 and the second wall 12. In the first direction Y, the first clamping structure 2a is closer to the first wall 11 than the other clamping structures 2.

[0180] The adjusting mechanism 3 is connected to the first wall 11. Specifically, the screw 31 is threadedly connected to the first wall 11.

[0181] In some embodiments, in the first direction Y, the clamping structure 2, which is away from the first clamping structure 2a, is configured to be movable along the first direction Y. Alternatively, the fifth clamping structure 2 is fixedly connected to the second wall 12.

[0182] In some embodiments, the two ends of the guide rod 5 are connected to the first wall 11 and the second wall 12.

[0183] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 The drying equipment 100 includes a housing 20, which contains multiple independent drying spaces 201, and each drying space 201 contains a drying device 10.

[0184] The drying space 201 refers to the space used to house the drying device 10. Before the drying device 10 performs the drying operation, the drying space 201 can be subjected to environmental treatment, such as vacuuming.

[0185] By having multiple independent drying spaces 201, the drying operations of the drying devices 10 within each space are independent and do not affect each other. Thus, while one set of drying devices 10 in one drying space 201 is performing drying operations, another set of drying devices 10 can be used to load or unload the structure to be dried. Therefore, this helps to improve the drying efficiency of the structure to be dried.

[0186] In some embodiments, please refer to the following: Figure 2 and Figure 8 The drying equipment 100 also includes a housing 20, which has at least one drying space 201 inside. The fixing structure 1 has a receiving space 101 inside. The clamping structure 2 and the linkage structure 4 are both located in the receiving space 101. The fixing structure 1 can be slidably arranged in the drying space 201 along the first direction Y.

[0187] The drying space 201 refers to the space used to house the drying device 10. Before the drying device 10 performs the drying operation, the drying space 201 can be subjected to environmental treatment, such as vacuuming.

[0188] Understandably, the fixed structure 1 can be a drawer structure within the drying space 201.

[0189] By pushing and pulling the fixing structure 1 along the first direction Y, the drying device 10 can be pushed into or pulled out of the drying space 201, which facilitates the loading and unloading of the structure to be dried.

[0190] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8The drying space 201 is equipped with a plurality of drying devices 10 distributed along the second direction Z, and the first direction Y and the second direction Z are perpendicular.

[0191] This arrangement allows multiple drying devices 10 to be stacked within the drying space 201, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the structure to be dried.

[0192] Please see Figure 1 The battery processing equipment 1000 provided in this application embodiment includes a drying device 100, which is used to dry battery cells m. The drying device 100 in this embodiment is the same as the drying device 100 in the previous embodiment; please refer to the relevant description of the drying device 100 in the previous embodiment for details, which will not be repeated here.

[0195] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The battery processing equipment 1000 also includes a stacking device 200, which is used to stack multiple battery cells m to form a battery device.

[0196] With this setup, battery devices can be manufactured.

[0197] The battery production line provided in this embodiment includes a battery processing equipment 1000. The battery processing equipment 1000 in this embodiment is the same as that in the previous embodiment; please refer to the relevant description of the battery processing equipment 1000 in the previous embodiment for details, which will not be repeated here.

[0198] A battery production line is a production line for processing batteries.

[0199] The battery production line provided in this application improves battery production efficiency by employing the battery processing equipment 1000 involved in the above embodiments.

[0200] As one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 2 to Figure 8As shown, the drying equipment 100 includes a fixed structure 1, an adjusting mechanism 3, a linkage structure 4, and multiple clamping structures 2. The multiple clamping structures 2 are spaced apart along a first direction Y. Each clamping structure 2 can reciprocate relative to the fixed structure 1 along the first direction Y. Adjacent clamping structures 2 are used to clamp or release the structure to be dried. Each clamping structure 2 is a heating structure used to heat the structure to be dried. Among the multiple clamping structures 2, the clamping structure 2 on one side along the first direction Y is the first clamping structure 2a. The adjusting mechanism 3 is connected to the first clamping structure 2a and the fixed structure 1, and is used to adjust the position of the first clamping structure 2a along the first direction Y. The linkage structure 4 is connected between two adjacent clamping structures 2. The linkage structure 4 includes a first linkage member 41 and a second linkage member 42. The first linkage member 41 and the second linkage member 42 are respectively disposed on two adjacent clamping structures 2. The first linkage member 41 and the second linkage member 42 can move relative to each other along the first direction Y, and the first linkage member 41 and the second linkage member 42 hook each other along the first direction Y.
