Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of lithium battery production equipment, and in particular relates to a cell electrode adjustment mechanism and a cell electrode adjustment device. Background Technology

[0002] A battery cell module is typically formed by fixing multiple battery cells together in parallel. The placement of each battery cell in a battery cell module is subject to requirements, ensuring that the positive and negative terminals of each cell meet circuit requirements. Therefore, before assembling several battery cells into a battery cell module, it is necessary to adjust the terminal positions of the cells that need to be adjusted in the sequential arrangement.

[0003] Currently, existing battery cell terminal adjustment mechanisms typically adjust the position of the battery cell terminals by clamping the battery cell and rotating it 180°. However, this method can only adjust the position of a single battery cell terminal at a time. When it is necessary to adjust the position of two or more battery cells simultaneously, traditional battery cell terminal adjustment mechanisms cannot rotate both battery cells at the same time to adjust the position of the battery cell terminals. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a cell electrode adjustment mechanism to solve the problem that existing cell electrode adjustment mechanisms cannot simultaneously adjust the electrode positions of two cells. Another purpose of this application is to provide a cell electrode adjustment device including the cell electrode adjustment mechanism.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the following technical solution is adopted in this application:

[0006] In a first aspect, this application proposes a battery cell electrode adjustment mechanism, which includes a base, a first driving part, a transmission component, a second driving part, a first clamping part, and a second clamping part, wherein:

[0007] The transmission component is rotatably mounted on the base, and the drive end of the first drive unit is connected to the transmission component. The first drive unit is configured to drive the transmission component to rotate by a preset angle.

[0008] The first clamping part and the second clamping part are symmetrically arranged on the transmission component with respect to the rotation center of the transmission component. Both the first clamping part and the second clamping part are configured to clamp or release the battery cell to be adjusted. The fixed end of the second driving part is installed on the transmission component, and the driving end of the second driving part is connected to the first clamping part. The second driving part is configured to drive the first clamping part to rotate by a preset angle.

[0009] The first drive unit drives the transmission component to rotate by a preset angle, thereby causing the battery cell held by the first clamping part and the second clamping part to rotate by a preset angle, and thus adjusting the terminal posts of the battery cell held by the first clamping part and the second clamping part.

[0010] The second drive unit drives the first clamping unit to rotate by a preset angle, thereby causing the battery cell clamped by the first clamping unit to rotate by a preset angle, and thus adjusting the terminal of the battery cell clamped by the first clamping unit.

[0011] The battery cell electrode adjustment mechanism proposed in this application involves setting a transmission component and symmetrically arranging a first clamping part and a second clamping part at the rotation center of the transmission component. The first clamping part can rotate relative to the transmission component, and the second clamping part is fixed on the transmission component. When it is necessary to simultaneously adjust the electrode of two battery cells clamped by the first clamping part and the second clamping part, the first driving part drives the transmission component to rotate by a preset angle, thereby achieving synchronous adjustment of the two battery cells. When it is necessary to adjust the electrode of one battery cell clamped by the first clamping part, only the second driving part drives the first clamping part to rotate, thereby achieving electrode adjustment of one battery cell clamped by the first clamping part. Moreover, depending on different application scenarios, more clamping parts can be set to achieve synchronous adjustment of three or more battery cells.

[0012] Optionally, both the first clamping part and the second clamping part are configured to clamp or release a first battery cell;

[0013] Alternatively, the first clamping part and the second clamping part are configured to jointly clamp or release a second battery cell.

[0014] By configuring the first clamping part and the second clamping part to be able to clamp a first battery cell individually or to clamp a second battery cell together, the battery cell terminal adjustment mechanism can be adapted to two different sizes of battery cells, thus achieving good compatibility.

[0015] Optionally, the first drive unit includes a first drive member, a first driving pulley, a first driven pulley, and a first transmission belt, wherein:

[0016] The fixed end of the first driving member is mounted on the base, and the driving end of the first driving member is connected to the first driving wheel. The first driving member is configured to drive the first driving wheel to rotate.

[0017] The first driven wheel is connected to the transmission component and is spaced apart from the first driving wheel; the first transmission belt is sleeved on the first driving wheel and the first driven wheel.

[0018] The first driving element drives the first driving wheel to rotate, thereby driving the first driven wheel to rotate via the first transmission belt, and in turn driving the transmission components to rotate.

[0019] The first drive unit is provided by driving the first drive wheel to rotate through the first drive member, and driving the first transmission belt to rotate through the cooperation of the first driven wheel, thereby driving the transmission components to rotate. It has a compact structure, high driving efficiency, high driving precision and low noise.

[0020] Optionally, the transmission components include a rotating drum and a support plate. The rotating drum is rotatably mounted on the base via bearings, and the first drive unit is configured to drive the rotating drum to rotate 180°.

[0021] The middle part of the support plate is horizontally installed at the bottom of the rotating drum. The first clamping part and the second clamping part are respectively installed at both ends of the support plate along its length. The second driving part is installed on the support plate.

[0022] By mounting a rotating drum rotatably on a base and horizontally mounting the middle part of a support plate on the rotating drum, with the first clamping part and the second clamping part mounted on the support plate, when the first driving part drives the rotating drum to rotate 180°, it drives the first clamping part and the second clamping part to rotate 180° synchronously, thereby adjusting the pole of the battery cell clamped by the first clamping part and the second clamping part, providing a transmission component with a simple structure and stable and reliable operation.

[0023] Optionally, the second drive unit is a rotary cylinder.

[0024] By setting the second drive unit as a rotary cylinder, a second drive unit with simple structure and high drive efficiency is provided.

[0025] Optionally, the first clamping part and the second clamping part have the same structure. The first clamping part includes a mounting base, a double-headed cylinder and two grippers. The double-headed cylinder is mounted on the mounting base and is configured to drive the two grippers to move closer or further away to clamp or release the battery cell.

[0026] The mounting base of the first clamping part is rotatably mounted on the transmission component, and the mounting base of the second clamping part is fixedly mounted on the transmission component.

[0027] By configuring both the first clamping part and the second clamping part as a mounting base, a double-headed cylinder and two grippers, and having the double-headed cylinder drive the two grippers to clamp or release the battery cell, a simple and easy-to-implement first clamping part and second clamping part are provided.

[0028] Secondly, this application proposes a battery cell electrode adjustment device, which includes a frame, a drive mechanism, the aforementioned battery cell electrode adjustment mechanism, and a conveying mechanism, wherein:

[0029] The fixed end of the drive mechanism is mounted on the frame, and the drive end of the drive mechanism is connected to the base. The drive mechanism is configured to drive the cell electrode adjustment mechanism to alternately move to the picking station and the feeding station. The feeding station is set on the conveying path of the conveying mechanism.

[0030] The drive mechanism drives the cell electrode adjustment mechanism to move to the picking station so that the cell on the picking station can be clamped by the first clamping part and the second clamping part.

[0032] The conveying mechanism is configured to receive the battery cells released by the first clamping part and the second clamping part, and to convey the received battery cells to the next process along the first horizontal direction.

[0033] The battery cell electrode adjustment device proposed in this application, through the cooperation of a drive mechanism, a battery cell electrode adjustment mechanism, and a conveying mechanism, enables the battery cell electrode adjustment mechanism to be conveyed to the material handling station to clamp the battery cell, and after the clamped battery cell electrode is adjusted, it is released onto the conveying mechanism. The conveying mechanism then conveys the received battery cell to the next process, thereby improving production efficiency. Moreover, the battery cell electrode adjustment mechanism can adjust the electrode of a single battery cell or adjust the electrode of at least two battery cells synchronously according to different production needs, and has good adaptability.

[0034] Optionally, the drive mechanism includes a third drive unit, a transverse support, and a fourth drive unit, wherein:

[0035] The third drive unit is mounted on the frame, and the transverse shift seat is located above the conveying mechanism. The transverse shift seat is mounted on the frame and can reciprocate along the second horizontal direction. The drive end of the third drive unit is connected to the transverse shift seat. The third drive unit is configured to drive the transverse shift seat to reciprocate along the second horizontal direction. The first horizontal direction is perpendicular to the second horizontal direction.

[0036] The base is vertically mounted on the transverse base, the fixed end of the fourth drive unit is mounted on the transverse base, the drive end of the fourth drive unit is connected to the transverse base, and the fourth drive unit is configured to drive the base to rise and fall.

[0037] The third drive unit, in conjunction with the fourth drive unit, drives the base to reciprocate and rise and fall along the second horizontal direction, causing the cell electrode adjustment mechanism to alternately move to the material picking station and the material feeding station.

[0038] Through the cooperation of the third drive unit and the transverse shift seat, the transverse shift seat is driven to reciprocate along the second horizontal direction. By mounting the base vertically on the transverse shift seat and driving the base to rise and fall through the fourth drive unit, the battery cell electrode adjustment mechanism is driven to move horizontally and rise and fall along the second horizontal direction, so as to alternately move the battery cell electrode adjustment mechanism to the picking station and the feeding station. This provides a drive mechanism that can realize dual-axis transfer with high drive efficiency.

[0039] Optionally, an adjustment station is provided on the moving path of the transverse seat. When the cell electrode adjustment mechanism moves to the adjustment station, it performs electrode adjustment on the cell to be adjusted, which is held by the first clamping part and the second clamping part.

[0040] By setting an adjustment station on the moving path of the transverse seat, the battery cell electrode adjustment mechanism can adjust the battery cell electrode during the process of moving from the material pick-up station to the material feeding station. There is no need to allocate time for electrode adjustment separately, which improves work efficiency and meets the requirements of fast-paced operation.

[0041] Optionally, the third drive unit includes a third drive component, a rotating shaft, two sets of transmission wheel assemblies, and two second transmission belts, wherein:

[0042] The fixed end of the third drive unit is mounted on the frame, and the rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on one end of the frame in the second horizontal direction. The drive end of the third drive unit is connected to the rotating shaft, and the third drive unit is configured to drive the rotating shaft to rotate.

[0043] Each set of transmission wheel assemblies corresponds to a second transmission belt. Each set of transmission wheel assemblies includes a second driving wheel and a second driven wheel that are spaced apart along a second horizontal direction. The second driving wheels of the two sets of transmission wheel assemblies are spaced apart on a rotating shaft along a first horizontal direction. The second driven wheels of the two sets of transmission wheel assemblies are rotatably mounted on a frame along a first horizontal direction. The second transmission belt is sleeved on the second driving wheel and the second driven wheel of the corresponding transmission wheel assembly.

[0044] The transverse shifter is fixedly connected to one side of the two second transmission belts at both ends in the first horizontal direction;

[0045] The third driving component drives the rotating shaft to rotate, thereby causing the two second driving wheels to rotate synchronously. Through the cooperation of the two second driven wheels, the two second transmission belts rotate synchronously, which in turn causes the transverse sliding seat to reciprocate along the second horizontal direction.

[0046] The third drive unit drives the shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the second drive wheel of the two sets of transmission wheel assemblies to rotate. The two second driven wheels work together to drive the two second transmission belts to rotate synchronously, which in turn drives the transverse seat to move synchronously at both ends in the first horizontal direction. This provides a third drive unit with high driving efficiency, high driving accuracy, low noise and smooth operation. Attached Figure Description

[0057] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0058] A battery cell module is typically formed by fixing multiple battery cells together in parallel. The placement of each battery cell in a battery cell module is subject to requirements, ensuring that the positive and negative terminals of each cell meet circuit requirements. Therefore, before assembling several battery cells into a battery cell module, it is necessary to adjust the terminal positions of the cells that need to be adjusted in the sequential arrangement.

[0059] Currently, existing battery cell terminal adjustment mechanisms typically adjust the position of the battery cell terminals by clamping the battery cell and rotating it 180°. However, this method can only adjust the position of a single battery cell terminal at a time. When it is necessary to adjust the position of two or more battery cells simultaneously, traditional battery cell terminal adjustment mechanisms cannot rotate both battery cells at the same time to adjust the position of the battery cell terminals.

[0060] Therefore, in a first aspect, this application provides a cell terminal adjustment mechanism 10 for adjusting the terminals of a cell. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 1 to 3As shown, the battery cell electrode adjustment mechanism 10 proposed in this embodiment includes a base 11, a first driving part 12, a transmission component 13, a second driving part 14, a first clamping part 15, and a second clamping part 16. The transmission component 13 is rotatably mounted on the base 11. The driving end of the first driving part 12 is connected to the transmission component 13, and the first driving part 12 is configured to drive the transmission component 13 to rotate by a preset angle. The first clamping part 15 and the second clamping part 16 are symmetrically arranged on the transmission component 13 about its rotation center. Both the first clamping part 15 and the second clamping part 16 are configured to clamp or release the battery cell to be adjusted. The second driving part 14... The fixed end of 4 is mounted on the transmission component 13. The driving end of the second driving unit 14 is connected to the first clamping part 15. The second driving unit 14 is configured to drive the first clamping part 15 to rotate by a preset angle. The first driving unit 12 drives the transmission component 13 to rotate by a preset angle, thereby causing the battery cell clamped by the first clamping part 15 and the second clamping part 16 to rotate by a preset angle, and thus adjusting the terminal of the battery cell clamped by the first clamping part 15 and the second clamping part 16. The second driving unit 14 drives the first clamping part 15 to rotate by a preset angle, thereby causing the battery cell clamped by the first clamping part 15 to rotate by a preset angle, and thus adjusting the terminal of the battery cell clamped by the first clamping part 15.

[0061] It should be noted that, depending on the application scenario, three or more clamping parts can be provided on the transmission component 13 to achieve synchronous adjustment of three or more battery cell terminals. Of course, as needed, the clamping parts can also be configured with driving components to achieve individual adjustment of the battery cell terminals clamped by the clamping parts configured with driving components.

[0062] As can be seen, the battery cell electrode adjustment mechanism 10 proposed in this application sets up a transmission component 13 and symmetrically sets up a first clamping part 15 and a second clamping part 16 at the rotation center of the transmission component 13. The first clamping part 15 can rotate relative to the transmission component 13, and the second clamping part 16 is fixed on the transmission component 13. When it is necessary to simultaneously adjust the electrode of two battery cells clamped by the first clamping part 15 and the second clamping part 16, the first driving part 12 drives the transmission component 13 to rotate by a preset angle, thereby realizing the synchronous adjustment of the two battery cells. When it is necessary to adjust the electrode of one battery cell clamped by the first clamping part 15, the first clamping part 15 is rotated by the second driving part 14 to realize the electrode adjustment of one battery cell clamped by the first clamping part 15. Moreover, according to different application scenarios, more clamping parts can also be set up to realize the synchronous adjustment of three or more battery cells.

[0063] Please see Figures 3 to 5As shown, in one embodiment, the first clamping part 15 and the second clamping part 16 are both configured to clamp or release a first battery cell 10a; or, the first clamping part 15 and the second clamping part 16 are configured to jointly clamp or release a second battery cell 10b.

[0064] It can be seen that by setting the first clamping part 15 and the second clamping part 16 to be able to clamp a first battery cell 10a separately or to clamp a second battery cell 10b together, the battery cell terminal adjustment mechanism 10 can adapt to two different sizes of battery cells, and has good compatibility.

[0065] In one embodiment, the first drive unit 12 includes a first drive member 120, a first drive wheel 121, a first driven wheel 122, and a first transmission belt 123, wherein: the fixed end of the first drive member 120 is mounted on the base 11, the drive end of the first drive member 120 is connected to the first drive wheel 121, and the first drive member 120 is configured to drive the first drive wheel 121 to rotate; the first driven wheel 122 is connected to the transmission component 13 and is spaced apart from the first drive wheel 121, and the first transmission belt 123 is sleeved on the first drive wheel 121 and the first driven wheel 122; the first drive member 120 drives the first drive wheel 121 to rotate, so as to drive the first driven wheel 122 to rotate through the first transmission belt 123, thereby driving the transmission component 13 to rotate.

[0066] Specifically, the first driving pulley 121 and the first driven pulley 122 are both synchronous belt pulleys, and the first transmission belt 123 is a synchronous belt.

[0067] Specifically, the first driving component 120 is a motor, which is vertically fixed on the base 11 and the motor shaft is downward connected to the first driving wheel 121.

[0068] As can be seen, the first driving member 120 drives the first driving wheel 121 to rotate, and the first driven wheel 122 drives the first transmission belt 123 to rotate, thereby driving the transmission component 13 to rotate, thus providing a first driving part 12 with a compact structure, high driving efficiency, high driving precision and low noise.

[0069] In one embodiment, the transmission component 13 includes a rotating drum 130 and a support plate 131. The rotating drum 130 is rotatably mounted on the base 11 via bearings. The first drive unit 12 is configured to drive the rotating drum 130 to rotate 180°. The middle portion of the support plate 131 is horizontally mounted on the bottom of the rotating drum 130. The first clamping part 15 and the second clamping part 16 are respectively mounted at both ends of the support plate 131 in the length direction. The second drive unit 14 is mounted on the support plate 131.

[0070] As can be seen, by mounting the rotating drum 130 rotatably on the base 11 and horizontally mounting the middle part of the support plate 131 on the rotating drum 130, and mounting the first clamping part 15 and the second clamping part 16 on the support plate 131, when the first driving part 12 drives the rotating drum 130 to rotate 180°, it drives the first clamping part 15 and the second clamping part 16 to rotate 180° synchronously, thereby adjusting the pole of the battery cell clamped by the first clamping part 15 and the second clamping part 16, a transmission component 13 with a simple structure and stable and reliable operation is provided.

[0071] In one embodiment, the second drive unit 14 is a rotary cylinder 140.

[0072] It can be seen that by setting the second drive unit 14 as a rotary cylinder, a second drive unit 14 with a simple structure and high driving efficiency is provided.

[0073] In one embodiment, the first clamping part 15 and the second clamping part 16 have the same structure. The first clamping part 15 includes a mounting base 150, a double-headed cylinder 151 and two grippers 152. The double-headed cylinder 151 is mounted on the mounting base 150 and is configured to drive the two grippers 152 to move closer or further away to clamp or release the battery cell. The mounting base 150 of the first clamping part 15 is rotatably mounted on the transmission component 13, and the mounting base 150 of the second clamping part 16 is fixedly mounted on the transmission component 13.

[0074] As can be seen, by configuring both the first clamping part 15 and the second clamping part 16 as a mounting base 150, a double-headed cylinder 151 and two grippers 152, and having the double-headed cylinder 151 drive the two grippers 152 to clamp or release the battery cell, a simple and easy-to-implement first clamping part 15 and second clamping part 16 are provided.

[0075] The cell electrode adjustment mechanism 10 proposed in this application embodiment can be divided into the following two application scenarios in practical applications. The adjustment process for the two application scenarios is described below:

[0076] First application scenario: When the first clamping part 15 and the second clamping part 16 respectively clamp one first battery cell 10a, if only one first battery cell 10a needs to be adjusted, the second driving part 14 drives the first clamping part 15 to rotate by a preset angle; if both first battery cells 10a need to be adjusted, the first driving part 12 drives the transmission component 13 to rotate by a preset angle, thereby causing the first battery cells 10a clamped by the first clamping part 15 and the second clamping part 16 to rotate by a preset angle.

[0077] The second application scenario: When the first clamping part 15 and the second clamping part 16 jointly clamp a second battery cell 10b, and it is necessary to adjust the pole of the second battery cell 10b, the first driving part 12 drives the transmission component 13 to rotate by a preset angle, thereby causing the second battery cell 10b jointly clamped by the first clamping part 15 and the second clamping part 16 to rotate by a preset angle.

[0078] The cell electrode adjustment mechanism 10 proposed in this application has the following advantages:

[0079] 1) It can simultaneously adjust the terminals of two or more battery cells, with high working efficiency and wide applicability;

[0080] 2) It is compatible with two different sizes of battery cells;

[0081] 3) The overall structure of the transmission components is simple and the operation is stable and reliable.

[0082] Secondly, a cell electrode adjustment device is also proposed; please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a battery cell electrode adjustment device includes a frame 20, a drive mechanism 30, the aforementioned battery cell electrode adjustment mechanism 10, and a conveying mechanism 40. The fixed end of the drive mechanism 30 is mounted on the frame 20, and the drive end of the drive mechanism 30 is connected to a base 11. The drive mechanism 30 is configured to drive the battery cell electrode adjustment mechanism 10 to alternately move to a picking station and a feeding station. The feeding station is located on the conveying path of the conveying mechanism 40. The drive mechanism 30 drives the battery cell electrode adjustment mechanism 10 to the picking station to clamp the battery cell at the picking station via a first clamping part 15 and a second clamping part 16. The drive mechanism 30 also drives the battery cell electrode adjustment mechanism 10 to the feeding station to release the battery cell after electrode adjustment to the feeding station via the first clamping part 15 and the second clamping part 16. The conveying mechanism 40 is configured to receive the battery cell released by the first clamping part 15 and the second clamping part 16, and to convey the received battery cell along a first horizontal direction (…). Figure 1 It is transported to the next process in the X direction.

[0083] As can be seen, the battery cell electrode adjustment device proposed in this application, through the cooperation of the drive mechanism 30, the battery cell electrode adjustment mechanism 10 and the conveying mechanism 40, realizes the following: the battery cell electrode adjustment mechanism 10 is conveyed to the material picking station to clamp the battery cell, and the clamped battery cell is adjusted and then placed on the conveying mechanism 40. The conveying mechanism 40 conveys the received battery cell to the next process, thereby improving production efficiency. Moreover, the battery cell electrode adjustment mechanism 10 can adjust the electrode of a single battery cell or adjust the electrode of at least two battery cells synchronously according to different production needs, and has good adaptability.

[0084] In one embodiment, the drive mechanism 30 includes a third drive unit 31, a transverse shift seat 32, and a fourth drive unit 33, wherein: the third drive unit 31 is mounted on the frame 20, the transverse shift seat 32 is located above the conveying mechanism 40, and the transverse shift seat 32 can move along the second horizontal direction ( Figure 1 The base 11 is mounted on the frame 20 in a reciprocating manner (Y direction). The drive end of the third drive unit 31 is connected to the transverse slide seat 32. The third drive unit 31 is configured to drive the transverse slide seat 32 to reciprocate along the second horizontal direction. The base 11 is mounted on the transverse slide seat 32 in a liftable manner. The fixed end of the fourth drive unit 33 is mounted on the transverse slide seat 32. The drive end of the fourth drive unit 33 is connected to the transverse slide seat 32. The fourth drive unit 33 is configured to drive the base 11 to rise and fall. The third drive unit 31 cooperates with the fourth drive unit 33 to drive the base 11 to reciprocate and rise and fall along the second horizontal direction, so that the cell electrode adjustment mechanism 10 alternately moves to the picking station and the feeding station.

[0085] Please see Figure 5 As shown, specifically, the fourth drive unit 33 is an electric cylinder 330, and a guide rail 320 is laid on the transverse seat 32 along the vertical direction. One end of the base 11 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 320 by a slider to ensure the stability of the base 11 in raising and lowering on the transverse seat 32.

[0086] Specifically, the fourth drive unit 33 can also be a cylinder.

[0087] As can be seen, through the cooperation of the third drive unit 31 and the transverse shift seat 32, the transverse shift seat 32 is driven to reciprocate along the second horizontal direction; by mounting the base 11 vertically on the transverse shift seat 32 and driving the base 11 to rise and fall through the fourth drive unit 33, the battery cell electrode adjustment mechanism 10 is driven to move horizontally and rise and fall along the second horizontal direction, so as to alternately move the battery cell electrode adjustment mechanism 10 to the picking station and the feeding station, thus providing a drive mechanism 30 that can realize dual-axis transfer with high drive efficiency.

[0088] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, an adjustment station is provided on the moving path of the transverse seat 32. When the cell electrode adjustment mechanism 10 moves to the adjustment station, it performs electrode adjustment on the cell to be adjusted, which is held by the first clamping part 15 and the second clamping part 16.

[0089] It can be seen that by setting an adjustment station on the moving path of the transverse seat 32, the battery cell electrode adjustment mechanism 10 can adjust the battery cell electrode during the process of moving from the material pick-up station to the material feeding station, without the need to allocate time for electrode adjustment separately, which improves work efficiency and meets the requirements of fast-paced operation.

[0090] In one embodiment, the third drive unit 31 includes a third drive member 310, a rotating shaft 311, two sets of transmission wheel assemblies 312, and two second transmission belts 313. The fixed end of the third drive member 310 is mounted on the frame 20. The rotating shaft 311 is rotatably mounted on one end of the frame 20 in a second horizontal direction. The drive end of the third drive member 310 is connected to the rotating shaft 311, and the third drive member 310 is configured to drive the rotating shaft 311 to rotate. Each set of transmission wheel assemblies 312 corresponds to one second transmission belt 313. Each set of transmission wheel assemblies 312 includes a second driving wheel 312a and a second driven wheel spaced apart along the second horizontal direction. The second driving wheel of each set of transmission wheel assemblies 312... Wheels 312a are spaced apart on the rotating shaft 311 along the first horizontal direction. The second driven wheels of the two sets of transmission wheel assemblies 312 are rotatably mounted on the frame 20 along the first horizontal direction. The second transmission belt 313 is sleeved on the second driving wheel 312a and the second driven wheel of the corresponding transmission wheel assembly 312. The transverse shift seat 32 is fixedly connected to one side of the belt body of the two second transmission belts 313 at both ends in the first horizontal direction. The third driving member 310 drives the rotating shaft 311 to rotate, so as to drive the two second driving wheels 312a to rotate synchronously. Through the cooperation of the two second driven wheels, the two second transmission belts 313 are driven to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the transverse shift seat 32 to reciprocate along the second horizontal direction.

[0091] Specifically, the third drive component 310 is a motor.

[0092] Specifically, the transverse slide seat 32 is reciprocally mounted on the frame 20 along the second horizontal direction. Sliding guide pairs 34 are provided between the two ends of the transverse slide seat 32 and the frame 20 along the first horizontal direction. The sliding guide pairs 34 include linear guide rails and sliders. The two linear guide rails are fixed on the frame 20 in parallel and spaced apart and extending along the second horizontal direction. The two sliders are fixed at the two ends of the transverse slide seat 32 and slidably sleeved on the corresponding linear guide rails.

[0093] As can be seen, the third driving component 310 drives the rotating shaft 311 to rotate, which in turn drives the second driving wheel 312a of the two sets of transmission wheel assemblies 312 to rotate. Through the cooperation of the two second driven wheels, the two second transmission belts 313 rotate synchronously, which in turn drives the transverse seat 32 to move synchronously at both ends in the first horizontal direction. This provides a third driving unit 31 with high driving efficiency, high driving accuracy, low noise and smooth operation.

[0094] Please see Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the general working principle of the cell electrode adjustment device proposed in this application embodiment is as follows:

[0095] S1, the drive mechanism 30 drives the cell electrode adjustment mechanism 10 to move laterally and descend to the picking station, and then rises after picking up the cell on the picking station through the first clamping part 15 and the second clamping part 16.

[0096] S2, the drive mechanism 30 drives the cell electrode adjustment mechanism 10 to move laterally to the adjustment station, and the cell electrode adjustment mechanism 10 performs electrode adjustment on the cell to be adjusted held by the first clamping part 15 and the second clamping part 16.

[0097] S3, the drive mechanism 30 drives the cell electrode adjustment mechanism 10 to move laterally and descend to the feeding station, and the first clamping part 15 and the second clamping part 16 release the cell after the electrode is adjusted to the feeding station.

[0098] S4, the conveying mechanism 40 receives the battery cells released by the first clamping part 15 and the second clamping part 16, and conveys the received battery cells to the next process along the first horizontal direction.

[0099] It should be noted that the adjustment station in step S2 can be set to any of the following positions as needed:

[0100] First: The adjustment station is located directly above the material picking station. After the first clamping part 15 and the second clamping part 16 of the cell electrode adjustment mechanism 10 pick up the cell from the material picking station, they rise to the adjustment station to perform electrode adjustment on the cell picked up by the first clamping part 15 and the second clamping part 16.

[0101] Second: The adjustment station is located between the picking station and the feeding station. During the process of driving the cell electrode adjustment mechanism 10 to move laterally from directly above the picking station to directly above the feeding station, the drive mechanism 30 performs electrode adjustment on the cells picked up by the first clamping part 15 and the second clamping part 16.

[0102] Third: The adjustment station is located directly above the feeding station. After the drive mechanism 30 drives the cell electrode adjustment mechanism 10 to move directly above the feeding station, it performs electrode adjustment on the cells picked up by the first clamping part 15 and the second clamping part 16.

[0103] The cell electrode adjustment device proposed in this application has the following advantages:

[0104] 1) It realizes the automatic delivery of the adjusted battery cell to the next process after picking up the battery cell at the material picking station and adjusting the battery cell's terminals. Moreover, it can adjust the terminals of a single battery cell or adjust the terminals of at least two battery cells simultaneously, with good adaptability.

[0105] 2) It enables the adjustment of the battery cells' terminals during the process of transferring the battery cells from the material handling station to the feeding station, eliminating the need to allocate time for terminal adjustment separately, thus improving work efficiency and meeting the requirements of fast-paced operations;

[0106] 3) The drive mechanism has high driving efficiency, high driving precision, and stable and reliable operation.

[0107] The above embodiments merely illustrate the basic principles and characteristics of this application. This application is not limited to the above examples. Various changes and modifications can be made to this application without departing from the spirit and scope thereof, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of this application as claimed.
