[0002] In the current era of rapid development in the new energy industry, the production quality of batteries, as core energy storage components, directly determines product performance and safety. As a key component of batteries, the precise alignment of battery cells is crucial during battery assembly, affecting not only the overall structural stability of the battery but also its charge / discharge performance and lifespan.

[0003] Currently, in the battery production process, cell alignment is mostly carried out by alignment devices. These devices have a simple structure, mainly using two electric telescopic rods to drive the horizontal and vertical bars to align the cells. However, the horizontal bars in the existing alignment devices cannot be adjusted in length, which means that the existing alignment devices cannot align cells of different specifications and sizes, resulting in obvious defects.

[0004] To address this, an automatic cell alignment device for battery production is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic cell alignment device for battery production.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0014] Preferably, the outer wall of the positioning rod is provided with a spring, one end of the spring is fixed to the pull plate, and the other end of the spring is fixed to the top of the crossbar.

[0015] Preferably, one end of each of the horizontal bar, vertical bar, and extension bar is respectively fitted with a first soft pad, a second soft pad, and a third soft pad.

[0016] Preferably, a base is movably mounted on the bottom of the workbench, a first concave block is fixed to the outer wall of the base, a second concave block is fixed to the outer wall of the workbench, and a movable strip is movably mounted inside the first concave block via a movable pin, with the movable strip partially located inside the second concave block.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Please see Figure 1 , 2 4. This utility model provides a technical solution: To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: An automatic cell alignment device for battery production, comprising: a workbench 1; a first limiting bar 2 and a second limiting bar 3 perpendicularly arranged are fixed on the top of the workbench 1; a first electric telescopic rod 4 and a second electric telescopic rod 6 are installed on the top of the workbench 1, a horizontal bar 5 is fixed at one end of the first electric telescopic rod 4, and a vertical bar 7 is fixed at the other end of the second electric telescopic rod 6; a movable groove 8 is opened at one end of the horizontal bar 5, an extension bar 9 is movably arranged in the movable groove 8, a limiting groove 10 is opened on the inner wall of the movable groove 8, and the extension bar 9... A limiting strip 11 is fixed to the outer wall and located inside the limiting groove 10. The top of the horizontal bar 5 is provided with a movable hole 14 that communicates with the movable groove 8. The top of the extension bar 9 is provided with multiple positioning holes 15. A positioning rod 16 is movably installed in the movable hole 14. A pull plate 17 is fixed to the top of the positioning rod 16. The bottom of the positioning rod 16 is engaged in one of the positioning holes 15. A spring 18 is provided on the outer wall of the positioning rod 16. One end of the spring 18 is fixed to the pull plate 17, and the other end of the spring 18 is fixed to the top of the horizontal bar 5. A first soft pad 12, a second soft pad 13, and a third soft pad 27 are respectively installed on one end of the horizontal bar 5, the vertical bar 7, and the extension bar 9.

[0029] Specifically, this invention uses a pull plate 17 to pull the positioning rod 16, which then moves upward within the movable hole 14. The spring 18 also stretches. Once one end of the positioning rod 16 disengages from the positioning hole 15, the extension bar 9 can be released from its fixation. The extension bar 9 can then move within the movable groove 8 of the crossbar 5, thus adjusting the overall length of the crossbar 5. After the overall length of the crossbar 5 is adjusted, the pull plate 17 is released. The spring 18 then drives the positioning rod 16 downward within the movable hole 14. Once one end of the positioning rod 16 engages with a corresponding positioning hole 15, the extension bar 9 is fixed. Compared to existing technologies, this invention allows for adjustment of the overall length of the crossbar 5, enabling alignment of battery cells of different specifications and sizes. This wider applicability overcomes the shortcomings of existing technologies.

[0030] Because a limiting groove 10 is provided on the inner wall of the movable groove 8, and a limiting strip 11 located inside the limiting groove 10 is fixed on the outer wall of the extension strip 9, the extension strip 9 can be limited by the cooperation of the limiting strip 11 and the limiting groove 10, so as to prevent the extension strip 9 from coming out of the movable groove 8 and improve the working efficiency of the extension strip 9.

[0031] Since the first soft pad 12, the second soft pad 13, and the third soft pad 27 are respectively installed at one end of the horizontal bar 5, the vertical bar 7, and the extension bar 9, the first soft pad 12, the second soft pad 13, and the third soft pad 27 can prevent damage to the battery cell when the horizontal bar 5, the vertical bar 7, and the extension bar 9 are aligned, thus improving the safety of the battery cell.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] Please see Figure 1 , 3 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic cell alignment device for battery production, wherein a base 19 is movably installed at the bottom of a workbench 1, a first concave block 20 is fixed to the outer wall of the base 19, a second concave block 21 is fixed to the outer wall of the workbench 1, a movable strip 22 is movably installed inside the first concave block 20 through a movable pin 23, part of the movable strip 22 is located inside the second concave block 21, a first locking hole 24 is opened on the outer wall of the second concave block 21, a second locking hole 25 is opened on the outer wall of the movable strip 22, and a fixing pin 26 is engaged inside the first locking hole 24 and the second locking hole 25.

[0034] Specifically, this invention removes the fixing pin 26 from the first locking hole 24 on the outer wall of the second concave block 21 and the second locking hole 25 on the outer wall of the movable strip 22. Since the movable strip 22 is movably installed inside the first concave block 20 using the movable pin 23, and the worktable 1 is movably installed on the top of the base 19, the movable strip 22 can be moved directly. After the movable strip 22 is no longer located inside the second concave block 21, the worktable 1 can be driven to rotate on the top of the base 19, thereby driving the battery cell to rotate. Therefore, this invention has a rotation function, which facilitates the winding, packaging or subsequent processing of the aligned battery cell, and helps to improve the production efficiency of the battery.

[0035] Working principle:

[0036] First, place the battery cell on top of workbench 1. Then, activate the first electric telescopic rod 4 and the second electric telescopic rod 6 respectively. The first electric telescopic rod 4 and the second electric telescopic rod 6 will use the horizontal bar 5 and vertical bar 7, along with the first limiting bar 2 and the second limiting bar 3, to align the battery cell. The operator can also adjust the length of the horizontal bar 5 according to the size and specifications of the battery cell. The operator pulls the positioning rod 16 through the pull plate 17. At this time, the positioning rod 16 moves upward within the movable hole 14, and the spring 18 also stretches. After one end of the positioning rod 16 disengages from the positioning hole 15, the fixation of the extension bar 9 can be released. Subsequently, the extension bar 9 can be driven to move within the movable groove 8 of the crossbar 5, thereby adjusting the overall length of the crossbar 5. After the overall length of the crossbar 5 is adjusted, the pull plate 17 is released. At this time, under the action of the spring 18, the positioning rod 16 will be driven to descend within the movable hole 14. After one end of the positioning rod 16 is engaged with the corresponding positioning hole 15, the extension bar 9 can be fixed. Therefore, this utility model can adjust the overall length of the crossbar 5, enabling it to align battery cells of different specifications and sizes. It has a wide range of applications and solves the defects existing in the prior art. A limiting groove 10 is formed on the inner wall of the movable groove 8. A limiting strip 11 located inside the limiting groove 10 is fixed to the outer wall of the extension strip 9. With the cooperation of the limiting strip 11 and the limiting groove 10, the extension strip 9 can be limited, preventing it from detaching from the movable groove 8 and improving its working efficiency. Since the horizontal strip 5, the vertical strip 7, and the extension strip 9 are respectively equipped with a first soft pad 12, a second soft pad 13, and a third soft pad 27, these pads can prevent damage to the battery cell when aligning it with the horizontal strip 5, the vertical strip 7, and the extension strip 9, thus improving the battery cell's safety. Remove the fixing pin 26 from the first locking hole 24 on the outer wall of the second concave block 21 and the second locking hole 25 on the outer wall of the movable strip 22. Since the movable strip 22 is movably installed inside the first concave block 20 using the movable pin 23, and the worktable 1 is movably installed on the top of the base 19, the movable strip 22 can be moved directly. After the movable strip 22 is no longer located inside the second concave block 21, the worktable 1 can be driven to rotate on the top of the base 19, thereby driving the battery cell to rotate. Therefore, this utility model has a rotation function, which facilitates the winding, packaging or subsequent processing of the aligned battery cells, and helps to improve the production efficiency of the battery.
