Description

Cover plate shaping device Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power battery processing equipment technology, and in particular to a cover plate shaping device. Background Technology

[0002] As a key component of power batteries, the cover plate's performance directly affects the battery's overall performance. During battery manufacturing, the explosion-proof valve needs to be welded to the cover plate. During welding, heat input can cause the cover plate to bend and deform, thus failing to meet dimensional tolerance requirements. To improve the cover plate's flatness, a shaping device is needed to press and reshape the deformed cover plate. However, existing cover plate shaping devices suffer from complex structures and poor shaping effects, which still affect the cover plate's performance. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a cover plate shaping device to improve the shaping effect of the cover plate.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0005] A cover plate shaping device includes a support component and a shaping component;

[0006] The support assembly includes a support plate with a support portion for supporting the cover plate to be shaped;

[0007] The shaping component includes a pressure plate that slides vertically and a first driving part. The pressure plate is provided with shaping parts. The first driving part is connected to both ends of the shaping parts and is used to drive the pressure plate to slide. The first driving part flattens and shapes the cover plate through each of the shaping parts.

[0008] Furthermore, the shaping component also includes a first base, on which the pressure plate is slidably disposed; an elastic element is provided between the pressure plate and the first base.

[0009] Furthermore, a guide portion is provided between the first base and the pressure plate, the guide portion being used to guide the pressure plate to slide in the vertical direction.

[0010] Furthermore, the shaping part includes a shaping plate detachably connected to the bottom of the pressure plate, and the two ends of the shaping plate are respectively provided with downwardly protruding protrusions, and the shaping plate flattens the cover plate through the protrusions.

[0011] Furthermore, the supporting portion includes two supporting blocks disposed opposite to each other on the supporting plate, the two supporting blocks being used to support the ends of the cover plate respectively; the supporting blocks and / or the supporting plate are provided with limiting portions, the limiting portions being used to constrain the cover plate to the two supporting blocks.

[0012] Furthermore, the limiting part includes a limiting groove provided on the supporting block, the limiting groove being used for the protruding portion of the bottom surface of the cover plate to be inserted, thereby limiting the displacement of the cover plate; and / or,

[0013] The limiting part includes two limiting plates disposed opposite to each other on the support plate. The two limiting plates can approach each other and abut against the side of the cover plate, thereby limiting the displacement of the cover plate in its own width direction.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a second base and a second driving unit, wherein the support plate is slidably disposed on the second base in a vertical direction, and the second driving unit is used to drive the support plate to slide.

[0015] Furthermore, the supporting component is provided with a plurality of supporting parts arranged at intervals, and the shaping component has a plurality of shaping parts that are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the supporting parts.

[0016] Furthermore, the shaping components are two spaced apart, and the supporting components are two connected components disposed between the two shaping components; the two supporting components can be driven to move alternately below the corresponding shaping component.

[0017] Furthermore, it also includes a movable seat that is slidably disposed between the two shaping components, the two supporting components being disposed on the movable seat and being alternately moved by the movable seat to be below the corresponding shaping component.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0019] The cover plate shaping device of this utility model is connected to the two ends of the first driving part and the shaping part respectively, so that when shaping the cover plate, the downward pressure applied by the first driving part can be adjusted according to the actual deformation and shaping requirements of the cover plate at different end positions, thereby improving the shaping effect of the cover plate and having good versatility.

[0020] Secondly, the first base facilitates the sliding of the pressure plate, and the elastic element between the pressure plate and the first base acts as a buffer when the pressure plate flattens and shapes the cover plate, preventing rigid collisions between the shaping part and the cover plate. This prevents the cover plate surface from being crushed, scratched, or otherwise damaged. Simultaneously, the elastic element allows the pressure plate to adaptively adjust according to the actual shape and deformation of the cover plate. The guide part guides the pressure plate to slide vertically, ensuring that the pressure plate remains vertically pressed down during the shaping of the cover plate, preventing tilting or offset, and thus guaranteeing the shaping effect. The shaping section uses a detachable shaping plate connected to the bottom of the pressure plate. When the shaping plate wears or is damaged due to long-term use, or when it needs to be replaced with a shaping plate of different specifications to meet the shaping requirements of different types of cover plates, it can be easily disassembled and replaced. The lower protrusions set at both ends of the shaping plate can apply pressure to the cover plate more concentratedly, thereby more effectively flattening and shaping key parts such as the ends of the cover plate, improving the shaping effect, and enabling the cover plate to better meet the flatness requirements.

[0021] Furthermore, the supporting block's support function disperses the pressure on the cover plate, preventing deformation or damage due to excessive localized stress. Simultaneously, the supporting block, in conjunction with the shaping section of the shaping assembly, forms an upper and lower clamping structure for the cover plate, further enhancing its stability during the shaping process and ensuring even distribution of shaping force, thus improving the shaping effect. The limiting groove engages with the protruding portion on the bottom surface of the cover plate. When the protruding portion is inserted into the limiting groove, it precisely positions the cover plate horizontally, effectively limiting displacement in the length and width directions, ensuring the cover plate maintains a fixed position during shaping, thus improving shaping accuracy. The two limiting plates work together to limit displacement in the width direction of the cover plate, preventing it from shifting in that direction, thereby improving shaping accuracy. Moreover, the limiting method of the two limiting plates can accommodate cover plates of different widths, providing good versatility.

[0022] Furthermore, the second drive unit drives the support plate to slide vertically, allowing for flexible adjustment of its height and further improving the shaping effect on the cover plate. Multiple support units and corresponding shaping units work together simultaneously to shape multiple parts of the cover plate at once, increasing shaping efficiency. Two support components can alternately move below the shaping component. While one support component is shaping the cover plate, the other can perform loading, unloading, or other preparatory work, reducing idle time and facilitating continuous operation, thus improving the overall efficiency of the cover plate shaping device. Mounting the two support components on a movable base makes the entire device more compact and facilitates synchronous movement of the two support components. Attached Figure Description

[0048] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0049] This embodiment relates to a cover plate shaping device, which improves the shaping effect of cover plate 12 by optimizing its own structure.

[0050] In terms of overall structure, the cover plate shaping device includes a supporting assembly and a shaping assembly. The supporting assembly includes a supporting plate 7 with a supporting portion for supporting the cover plate 12 to be shaped. The shaping assembly includes a pressure plate 2 that slides vertically and a first driving unit 4. The pressure plate 2 is provided with shaping portions, and the first driving unit 4 is connected to both ends of the shaping portions respectively, and is used to drive the pressure plate 2 to slide. The first driving unit 4 flattens and shapes the cover plate 12 through the shaping portions.

[0051] The cover plate shaping device described in this embodiment is connected to both ends of the shaping part via the first driving part 4, so that when shaping the cover plate 12, the downward pressure applied by the first driving part 4 can be adjusted according to the actual deformation and shaping requirements of the cover plate 12 at different end positions, thereby improving the shaping effect of the cover plate 12 and having good versatility.

[0052] Based on the above overview, an exemplary structure of the cover plate shaping device described in this embodiment is shown in Figure 1. As a preferred embodiment, the shaping assembly further includes a first base 1, with a pressure plate 2 slidably disposed on the first base 1; an elastic element 14 is provided between the pressure plate 2 and the first base 1. Here, by providing the first base 1, the pressure plate 2 can be slidably disposed, and by providing the elastic element 14 between the pressure plate 2 and the first base 1, a buffering effect can be provided when the pressure plate 2 flattens and shapes the cover plate 12, thus preventing rigid collisions between the shaping part and the cover plate 12, thereby preventing the surface of the cover plate 12 from being crushed, scratched, or otherwise damaged. Simultaneously, the elastic element 14 allows the pressure plate 2 to adaptively adjust according to the actual shape and deformation of the cover plate 12.

[0053] In terms of specific structure, the first base 1 serves as the mounting carrier for the shaping component, as shown in Figures 2 and 3. The first base 1 may include two opposing base plates 101, columns 102 connected to each base plate 101, and a top plate 103 connected to the tops of the columns 102. The pressure plate 2 is specifically slidably disposed below the top plate 103. The first driving unit 4 preferably adopts a first cylinder disposed on the top plate 103. The cylinder rod of each first cylinder passes through the top plate 103 and is connected to the pressure plate 2, and the connection point between each cylinder rod and the pressure plate 2 corresponds to the end of the shaping unit.

[0054] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a guide portion is provided between the first base 1 and the pressure plate 2. The guide portion is used to guide the pressure plate 2 to slide in the vertical direction. This allows the guide portion to guide the pressure plate 2 to slide in the vertical direction, which helps to ensure that the pressure plate 2 always maintains a vertical downward pressing state when shaping the cover plate 12, avoiding tilting or offset of the pressure plate 2, thereby ensuring the shaping effect.

[0055] In terms of specific structure, as shown in Figures 2 and 4, the guide part includes a guide post 5 connected to the top of the pressure plate 2. The guide post 5 extends upward and passes through the top plate 103. A limiting block 501 located above the top plate 103 is also provided at the top of the guide post 5. The contact between the limiting block 501 and the top plate 103 helps to limit the downward displacement of the pressure plate 2.

[0056] In addition, to improve the connection between the first cylinder and the pressure plate 2, as shown in Figure 3, each pressure plate 2 is provided with a connecting seat 201 corresponding to the first cylinder on its top. The cylinder rod of the first cylinder is specifically connected to the pressure plate 2 through the connecting seat 201. The aforementioned elastic element 14 is specifically provided between the connecting seat 201 and the pressure plate 2. Preferably, the elastic element 14 is a spring sleeved on the cylinder rod, which helps to further improve the stability of the elastic element 14 during use, so that the pressure plate 2 can press the cover plate 12 in a horizontal state and achieve the shaping effect.

[0057] As a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figures 3 to 5, the shaping part includes a shaping plate 3 detachably connected to the bottom of the pressure plate 2. The shaping plate 3 has downwardly protruding protrusions 301 at both ends, which flatten the cover plate 12. The shaping part uses a shaping plate 3 detachably connected to the bottom of the pressure plate 2, which facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the shaping plate 3 when it wears or is damaged due to long-term use, or when a different specification of shaping plate 3 needs to be replaced to meet the shaping requirements of different types of cover plates 12.

[0058] Secondly, the two protrusions 301 at both ends of the shaping plate 3 are spaced apart, which helps to create clearance space for the explosion-proof valve, thus facilitating the shaping of the cover plate 12 after the explosion-proof valve is welded. Furthermore, the downward-protruding protrusions 301 at both ends of the shaping plate 3 can apply pressure to the cover plate 12 more concentratedly, thereby more effectively flattening and shaping key parts such as the ends of the cover plate 12, improving the shaping effect, and enabling the cover plate 12 to better meet the flatness requirements.

[0059] Specifically, during the process of flattening the cover plate 12, the contact area between the protrusion 301 and the cover plate 12 is relatively small. According to the pressure formula, under the same pressure, a smaller force-bearing area will generate greater pressure, which can more effectively flatten and shape key parts such as the end of the cover plate 12, improve the shaping effect, and enable the cover plate 12 to better meet the flatness requirements.

[0060] In this embodiment, the shaping plate 3 can be installed on the top plate 103 by bolts passing through it and screwing it onto the top plate 103, thus facilitating the installation and disassembly of the shaping plate 3. Of course, other detachable connection methods can also be used to fix the shaping plate 3 to the pressure plate 2, provided that the usage requirements are met.

[0061] In a preferred embodiment, the supporting portion includes two supporting blocks 8 disposed opposite to each other on the supporting plate 7, with the two supporting blocks 8 respectively supporting the ends of the cover plate 12. Limiting portions are provided on the supporting blocks 8 and the supporting plate 7 to constrain the cover plate 12 to the two supporting blocks 8. Here, the supporting effect of the supporting blocks 8 on the cover plate 12 can distribute the pressure borne by the cover plate 12, preventing deformation or damage to the cover plate 12 due to excessive local stress. Simultaneously, the supporting blocks 8 cooperate with the shaping portion of the shaping assembly to form an upper and lower clamping structure for the cover plate 12, further enhancing the stability of the cover plate 12 during the shaping process, ensuring that the cover plate 12 is evenly subjected to shaping force, and improving the shaping effect.

[0062] Furthermore, the support assembly also includes a second base 6 and a second drive unit 9. The support plate 7 is slidably disposed on the second base 6 in a vertical direction, and the second drive unit 9 is used to drive the support plate 7 to slide. By driving the support plate 7 to slide in a vertical direction by the second drive unit 9, the height of the support plate 7 can be flexibly adjusted, thereby further improving the shaping effect on the cover plate 12.

[0063] In terms of specific structure, as shown in Figures 6 to 8, the second base 6 includes a base plate 601 located below the support plate 7, and multiple connecting posts 602 connecting the support plate 7 and the base plate 601. The two support blocks 8 are detachably mounted on the support plate 7, which facilitates replacement or maintenance of the support blocks 8. Suitable support blocks 8 can also be selected according to the specifications of the cover plate 12, thereby improving the flexibility of the cover plate shaping device in use. The support blocks 8 are mounted on the support plate 7 by bolts passing through the support plate 7 and screwed onto it. This further enhances the convenience of loading and unloading the support blocks 8.

[0064] In addition, by setting the two support blocks 8 at intervals, supporting only the two ends of the cover plate 12, a space can be formed between the two support blocks 8 to avoid the explosion-proof valve, thereby ensuring that the explosion-proof valve is not damaged during the shaping process of the cover plate 12, thus ensuring the performance of the cover plate 12.

[0065] As a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figures 7 and 9, the limiting part includes a limiting groove 701 provided on the supporting block 8. The limiting groove 701 is used for the protruding part 1201 on the bottom surface of the cover plate 12 to be inserted, thereby limiting the displacement of the cover plate 12. The limiting groove 701 and the protruding part 1201 on the bottom surface of the cover plate 12 are inserted into each other. When the protruding part 1201 is inserted into the limiting groove 701, the cover plate 12 can be accurately positioned in the horizontal direction, effectively limiting the displacement of the cover plate 12 in the length and width directions, ensuring that the cover plate 12 maintains a fixed position during the shaping process, which is conducive to improving the shaping accuracy.

[0066] Specifically, when the cover plate 12 is supported on the two support blocks 8, as shown in Figures 6 and 10, the surface of the cover plate 12 facing the inside of the battery cell is positioned downwards. The protruding portion 1201 is provided with a through hole for the electrode post to pass through. Preferably, the specifications of the limiting groove 701 are adapted to the specifications of the protruding portion 1201 to improve the limiting effect of the limiting groove 701 on the cover plate 12.

[0067] In addition, the limiting part includes two limiting plates 10 disposed opposite to each other on the support plate 7. The two limiting plates 10 can approach each other and abut against the side of the cover plate 12, thereby limiting the displacement of the cover plate 12 in its own width direction. The two limiting plates 10 cooperate with each other to limit the displacement of the cover plate 12 in its own width direction, and also help to ensure that the cover plate 12 will not shift in the width direction, thereby improving the accuracy of shaping. Moreover, the limiting method of the two limiting plates 10 can limit the cover plate 12 of different widths, thus having good versatility.

[0068] As shown in Figures 7 to 9, two limiting plates 10 are positioned opposite each other on the left and right sides of the cover plate 12. A third driving part 15 is provided at the bottom of the support plate 7. The third driving part 15 can be a cylinder with two driving ends, each of which is connected to the bottom of the corresponding limiting plate 10. The third driving part 15 drives the two limiting plates 10 to move closer or further away from each other simultaneously, thereby limiting the cover plate 12 in its width direction or releasing the limiting of the cover plate 12.

[0069] Preferably, the top of the limiting plate 10 is provided with limiting portions 1001 extending toward the side of the cover plate 12. Specifically, the limiting plate 10 abuts against the side of the cover plate 12 through the limiting portions 1001, thereby limiting the displacement of the cover plate 12 in its own width direction. Here, the limiting plate 10 has a simple structure, is easy to arrange and implement, and has a good limiting effect on the cover plate 12, thus helping to improve the effect of the cover plate 12 in the shaping process.

[0070] In practical implementation, when the cover plate 12 has two protrusions 1201, the cover plate 12 can be limited on the support block 8 by the cooperation of the two limiting grooves 701 with the corresponding protrusions 1201. In this case, the limiting plate 10 can be omitted as required. When the cover plate 12 has one protrusion 1201 on each side, two limiting plates 10 should be provided to ensure the support stability of the cover plate 12 on the support part. In addition, other limiting structures can be set according to the implementation requirements, as long as they can limit the cover plate 12 on the support block 8.

[0071] In a preferred embodiment, the supporting assembly has multiple supporting parts arranged at intervals, and the shaping assembly has multiple shaping parts that correspond one-to-one with the supporting parts. The multiple supporting parts and their corresponding multiple shaping parts work together simultaneously to shape multiple parts of the cover plate 12 at the same time, which helps to improve the efficiency of reshaping.

[0072] In terms of specific structure, as shown in Figures 2 and 6, in this embodiment, two spaced-apart shaping plates 3 are provided on the pressure plate 2, and two sets of oppositely arranged support blocks 8 are provided on the support assembly. There are four first driving units 4. When the pressure plate 2 moves downward, the two ends of the two cover plates 12 can be shaped separately through the cooperation of the protrusions 301 on the shaping plate 3 and the corresponding support blocks 8. By controlling the working state of each first driving unit 4, the shaping force applied to the end of the corresponding cover plate 12 can be adjusted, thereby further ensuring the shaping efficiency of the cover plate 12.

[0073] The aforementioned second driving unit 9 is specifically disposed on the support plate 7 to drive the support plate 7 to move vertically. When the support block 8 is located below the protrusion 301, the first driving unit 4 drives the pressure plate 2 to move downward, while the second driving unit 9 drives the support plate 7 to move upward, which helps to improve the efficiency of the support block 8 and the protrusion 301 in clamping and shaping the cover plate 12. Of course, it is also feasible to omit the second driving unit 9. In this case, the support block 8 can achieve a good shaping effect by cooperating with the corresponding protrusion 301 using only the first driving unit 4. The second driving unit 9 here can still be a cylinder, which is easy to arrange and implement, and has a good driving effect.

[0074] Considering that different types of cover plates 12 may have different thicknesses or structural characteristics, requiring different forming pressures and gaps, the distance between the support plate 7 and the forming assembly can be changed by adjusting the height of the support plate 7 through the second drive unit 9. This adapts to the forming needs of various types of cover plates 12, increasing the versatility and applicability of the forming device. For example, for thicker cover plates 12, the support plate 7 can be lowered to give the forming assembly sufficient space to flatten the cover plate 12; for thinner cover plates 12, the support plate 7 can be raised appropriately to avoid excessive forming pressure that could damage the cover plate 12.

[0075] As a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, there are two shaping components spaced apart, and two supporting components connected between the two shaping components. The two supporting components can be driven to move alternately under the corresponding shaping component. Since the two supporting components can move alternately under the shaping component, while one supporting component is shaping the cover plate 12 under the shaping component, the other supporting component can perform loading, unloading, or other preparatory work. This reduces the idle time of the equipment, facilitates continuous operation, and improves the overall efficiency of the cover plate shaping device.

[0076] In terms of specific structure, as shown in Figure 1, the cover plate shaping device also includes a movable seat slidably disposed between the two shaping components. The two supporting components are disposed on the movable seat and are alternately moved to be below the corresponding shaping components by the movable seat. Disposing the two supporting components on the movable seat makes the entire device more compact and facilitates the synchronous movement of the two supporting components.

[0077] The movable seat is comprised of two base plates 601 in the two supporting components and a connecting plate 11 connecting the two base plates. To ensure the effectiveness of the movable seat, a slide rail 13 is provided between the two pressure plates 2 below, and the movable seat is slidably mounted on the slide rail 13, thereby moving below the two pressure plates 2. A fourth drive unit can also be provided to drive the movable seat to reciprocate. The fourth drive unit can be a drive device capable of outputting linear driving force, such as a cylinder, as long as it meets the usage requirements.

[0078] In this embodiment, the two support components work independently yet alternately, allowing operators to flexibly arrange the tasks of each support component according to actual production conditions. For example, a cover plate 12 requiring shaping can be placed on one support component while the shaped cover plate 12 is inspected or further processed on the other support component, improving operational flexibility and production organization convenience.

[0079] To improve the effectiveness of the cover plate shaping device, a detection unit can be provided at the bottom of the pressure plate 2 to detect whether the support part has moved into place. This detection unit can be a camera or the like, which determines whether the cover plate 12 is on the support part that has moved into place by acquiring an image of the support block 8. When a cover plate 12 is detected on the support block 8 below the pressure plate 2, the first drive unit 4 and the second drive unit 9 can be activated, so that the protrusion 301 cooperates with the support block 8 to shape the cover plate 12. Of course, in addition to a camera, other products that meet the usage requirements can also be used for the detection unit.

[0080] In this embodiment, the cover plate shaping device is first moved to the left so that the supporting component located on the left can be positioned below the pressure plate 2. The shaping component and the supporting component on the left cooperate to press down and shape the two cover plates 12 on the left supporting component. Multiple first driving parts 4 cooperate to make the protrusion 301 cooperate with the supporting block 8 to flatten and shape both ends of the cover plate 12. The driving force of the first driving parts 4 can be adjusted according to the amount of deformation at the ends of the cover plate 12 to ensure the shaping effect of the cover plate 12.

[0081] Meanwhile, the right-side support assembly is positioned between the two shaping assemblies. At this point, the robotic arm can place the cover plate 12 to be shaped onto the corresponding support block 8. After the cover plate 12 on the left-side support assembly is shaped, the moving seat is driven to move to the right, so that the right-side support assembly is positioned below the corresponding pressure plate 2, and the support part in the left-side support assembly is positioned between the two shaping assemblies. At this point, the robotic arm can remove the shaped cover plate 12 and place the cover plate 12 to be shaped onto the corresponding support block 8. This process is repeated, which facilitates continuous shaping and feeding of the cover plate 12 and improves efficiency, thereby increasing the efficiency of shaping the cover plate 12.

[0082] The cover plate shaping device of this embodiment, compared with the prior art where the pressure plate 2 bears a single downward pressure and uniformly presses down on the end of the cover plate 12, is advantageous in adjusting the downward pressure output by the first drive unit 4 according to the deformation of both ends of the cover plate 12, thereby improving the shaping effect of the cover plate 12 and having better versatility. For example, when the deformation of one end is large, the downward pressure applied to the protrusion 301 can be increased when the protrusion 301 presses down on the cover plate 12, so that the shaping effect of the cover plate 12 at that end is better.

[0083] Furthermore, the cover plate shaping device in this embodiment has a simple structure and low space occupation, which not only helps reduce the investment cost of the device but also makes the maintenance and repair of the device more convenient. At the same time, this cover plate shaping device can also perform shaping operations on cover plates 12 of different specifications, thus having good versatility. Further, by enabling the two supporting components to be driven to move alternately under the corresponding shaping component, the entire production process is optimized, making the loading, shaping, and unloading of the cover plates 12 more orderly and efficient. The alternating operation of the two supporting components can better connect with upstream and downstream production processes, reduce waiting time and material backlog during production, improve the continuity and smoothness of production, and thus improve overall production efficiency.

[0084] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
