Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the field of soft-pack battery production technology, specifically a soft-pack battery liquid injection rotating platform mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] After being manufactured and formed, pouch batteries require an electrolyte injection process to become finished batteries. Since pouch batteries already have positive and negative electrodes after manufacturing, electrolyte injection typically requires rotating the pouch battery 180° using a transfer platform to change the positive and negative electrodes before injection. During rotation, the pouch battery needs to be clamped and secured. However, existing clamps, whether electrically controlled or manually, can damage the battery if too much force is applied, or fail to hold it securely if too little force is applied. This can lead to misalignment when transporting the pouch batteries through other mechanisms, affecting transport efficiency. Furthermore, manually clamping and securing each pouch battery individually takes considerable time when transferring a group, impacting transport efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides a solution that is significantly different from existing technologies, addressing the problem that existing solutions are too simplistic. It mainly provides a rotating platform mechanism for injecting liquid into soft-pack batteries, which solves the technical problem mentioned in the background that existing clamps cannot adaptively and quickly clamp and fix a group of soft-pack batteries.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0005] A rotating platform mechanism for injecting liquid into a pouch battery includes a support base, a rotating base for driving a transfer platform to rotate on the support base, a first clamping mechanism for adaptively clamping the pouch battery body laterally on the transfer platform, and a second clamping mechanism for simultaneously clamping a group of pouch battery bodies longitudinally on the transfer platform.

[0006] Preferably, a rigid shell is fitted over the outer side of the soft-pack battery body, and the thickness of the shell fitted over the outer side of the soft-pack battery body remains consistent for each different thickness.

[0007] Preferably, the first clamping mechanism includes a support platform, and the transfer platform is provided with multiple sets of support platforms. The support platform is provided with a plug-in block, and a soft-pack battery body is inserted into the plug-in slot opened on the plug-in block.

[0008] Preferably, the support platform is provided with multiple sets of elastic clamps, and the opening above each set of elastic clamps is inclined outward. The multiple sets of elastic clamps are attached to the left and right sides of the outer casing of the soft-pack battery body.

[0009] Preferably, the second clamping mechanism includes a clamping cylinder, and clamping cylinders are provided at both the front and rear ends of the transfer platform, with a support plate provided on the telescopic rod of the clamping cylinder.

[0010] Preferably, the support plate is provided with multiple sets of limiting clamps, and the limiting clamps have slots that fit against the front and rear ends of the soft-pack battery body.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The soft-pack battery body is placed inside the first clamping mechanism, which adaptively fits against the outside of the soft-pack battery body, clamping it laterally. When a group of soft-pack battery bodies are placed inside multiple sets of the first clamping mechanisms, the second clamping mechanism simultaneously fits against the front and rear ends of the group of soft-pack battery bodies, clamping and fixing them. Furthermore, a shell of uniform thickness is fitted onto the outside of the soft-pack battery body. The thickness of the grooves in the shell accommodates soft-pack battery bodies of different widths. The shell directly fits against the clamping mechanism, protecting the soft-pack battery. The adaptive clamping of the first clamping mechanism and the direct clamping of the second clamping mechanism allow for faster clamping and fixing of the soft-pack battery body. The adaptive fitting of the first clamping mechanism requires no external force, preventing damage to the soft-pack battery due to excessive clamping force.

[0018] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more comprehensive description of the utility model will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which show several embodiments of the utility model. However, the utility model can be implemented in different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described in the text. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of the utility model more thorough and comprehensive.

[0019] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.

[0020] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly associated with those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments and is not intended to limit the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0021] Please refer to the appendix carefully. Figures 1-3 A rotating platform mechanism for injecting liquid into a soft-pack battery includes a support base 1, a rotating base 2 for driving a transfer platform 3 to rotate on the support base 1, a first clamping mechanism for laterally clamping the soft-pack battery body 7 on the transfer platform 3, and a second clamping mechanism for simultaneously clamping a group of soft-pack battery bodies 7 longitudinally on the transfer platform 3.

[0022] The specific operating procedure of this utility model is as follows: The soft-pack battery body 7 is transported to the top of the transfer platform 3 and inserted one by one into the first clamping mechanism. The first clamping mechanism uses its own elasticity to adapt and clamp the soft-pack battery body 7 laterally. The first clamping mechanism does not require external force to clamp, thus protecting the soft-pack battery body 7. Then, the second clamping mechanism is activated, which clamps and fixes a group of multiple soft-pack battery bodies 7 longitudinally. After the soft-pack battery body 7 is fixed, the rotating base 2 is activated. The rotating base 2 (which is a mature existing technology and will not be described in detail here) drives the transfer platform 3 to rotate 180° in the horizontal plane, changing the positive and negative terminals of the soft-pack battery body 7. Then, the second clamping mechanism is released, and the group of soft-pack battery bodies 7 is removed from the first clamping mechanism and transported to the next process through the transport mechanism of other processes. The rotating base 2 is controlled by a servo motor.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1-3The outer side of the soft-pack battery body 7 is covered with a rigid shell, and the thickness of the shell on the outer side of each soft-pack battery body 7 of different thicknesses is consistent.

[0024] All rigid housings have the same thickness, while the pouch battery body 7 comes in different sizes. The size of the slot in the middle of the housing is used to accommodate different sizes of pouch battery bodies 7. The housing is fitted over the outside of the pouch battery body 7 to protect it when it is clamped.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-3 The first clamping mechanism includes a support platform 4. Multiple sets of support platforms 4 are provided on the transfer platform 3. A plug-in block 5 is provided on the support platform 4. A soft-pack battery body 7 is inserted into the plug-in slot opened on the plug-in block 5.

[0026] The insertion block 5 has an insertion groove in the middle that is the same thickness as the outer shell of the soft-pack battery body 7. Since the shell thickness is the same, after the soft-pack battery bodies 7 of different sizes are inserted into the insertion groove through the shell, the insertion block 5 restricts the shell to restrict the soft-pack battery body 7.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-3 The support platform 4 is provided with multiple sets of elastic clamps 6. The opening above each set of elastic clamps 6 is inclined outward. The multiple sets of elastic clamps 6 are attached to the left and right sides of the outer shell of the soft-pack battery body 7.

[0028] The elastic clamp 6 is made of nickel-titanium alloy. The opening at the top of a set of elastic clamps 6 is outward-pointing, which allows the housing to be inserted between a set of elastic clamps 6. The inclined surface allows the housing to push open the elastic clamps 6 and insert them into the middle of the elastic clamps 6. The elastic clamps 6 adapt to the left and right sides of the soft-pack battery body 7 shell through their own elasticity and hardness, clamping and fixing the housing to achieve clamping and fixing of the soft-pack battery body 7.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-3 The second clamping mechanism includes a clamping cylinder 8. The front and rear ends of the transfer platform 3 are equipped with clamping cylinders 8. The extension rod of the clamping cylinder 8 is equipped with a support plate 9. The support plate 9 is equipped with multiple sets of limiting clamps 10. The limiting clamps 10 have slots that fit against the front and rear ends of the soft-pack battery body 7.

[0030] The clamping cylinder 8 is activated, and the clamping cylinder 8 pushes the support plate 9 toward the soft-pack battery body 7 through the telescopic rod. The support plate 9 drives multiple limiting clamps 10 to fit against the front and rear ends of the soft-pack battery body 7. The limiting clamps 10 have slots to accommodate the thickness of the outer shell of the soft-pack battery body 7, which provides a certain degree of restriction. The limiting clamps 10 at the front and rear ends are used to clamp and fix the soft-pack battery body 7 longitudinally.

[0031] The present invention has been described above by way of example in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any non-substantial improvement made by adopting the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention to other occasions without modification, shall be within the protection scope of the present invention.
