Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of battery manufacturing, and in particular to a tab welding device. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process of pouch battery modules, welding is required to connect the positive and negative tabs of multiple pouch cells. To ensure the welding effect, multiple cells must first be installed in the welding device before welding; then the tabs of the cells are pressed together by the welding head to ensure a tighter contact with the busbar; only then can welding be performed.

[0003] In related technologies, because the tabs of the battery cell are relatively soft, they usually need to be smoothed manually before being pressed down with a welding head to achieve a better welding effect. The downtime of the welding equipment in this step is relatively long, especially for soft-pack battery cells with tabs on the same side. Because the tabs are close together, in addition to smoothing the tabs manually, it is also easy for the welding head to touch the positive and negative tabs at the same time when it is pressed down, causing a short circuit in the soft-pack battery cell, resulting in product abnormalities and abnormalities in subsequent inspection processes, resulting in low welding efficiency.

[0043] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-8 The embodiments of this application will be described in further detail.

[0044] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the electrode welding device in one embodiment of this application is shown; Figure 2 An exploded view of a tab welding apparatus according to an embodiment of this application is shown.

[0045] See Figure 1 An embodiment of this application provides a tab welding device, comprising: a support module 10 for supporting a battery cell 200; and a pressing module 14 for pressing the battery cell 200 onto the support module 10; wherein the pressing module 14 is provided with a smoothing component 141 for smoothing the tabs of the battery cell 200 so that the tabs can be welded.

[0046] The battery cell 200 in this application is a soft-pack battery cell with tabs on the same side. The tabs of the battery cell 200 include a first tab 201 and a second tab 202, and the first tab 201 and the second tab 202 are located on the same side of the battery cell 200. During the soldering process of the tabs of the battery cell 200, the battery cell 200 is placed on the support module 10. First, the holding module 14 is brought close to the first tab 201. As the holding module 14 approaches the first tab 201, the smoothing component 141 is used to smooth the first tab 201. As the holding module 14 continues to approach the first tab 201, the holding module 14 and the support module 10 press the first tab 201 tightly, thereby completing the soldering of the first tab 201. After the first tab 201 is soldered, the holding module 14 is brought close to the second tab 202, and the second tab 202 is smoothed, pressed, and soldered. The first electrode 201 can be a positive electrode and the second electrode 202 can be a negative electrode, or the first electrode 201 can be a negative electrode and the second electrode 202 can be a positive electrode.

[0047] The electrode welding device provided in the above embodiments can simultaneously smooth and press the electrode during the welding process of the electrode of the battery cell 200 by setting a smoothing component 141 on the holding module 14, avoiding the process of manually smoothing the electrode. Furthermore, the smoothing component 141 only acts on the first electrode 201 or the second electrode 202 that needs to be welded on the holding module 14, so that the adjacent first electrode 201 and second electrode 202 are in different horizontal positions, preventing the electrode outside the current welding area from being affected, and effectively improving the reliability and efficiency of the welding process.

[0048] Figure 3 An exploded view of the support module 10 in one embodiment of this application is shown; Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of the support module 10 in one embodiment of this application is shown.

[0049] See Figures 1 to 4 In an exemplary embodiment, the support module 10 in the provided electrode welding device includes: a support plate 12; a support block 131 slidably connected to the support plate 12, the support block 131 having a support area 1310 recessed thereon; and a separator component 133 detachably installed in the support area 1310.

[0050] Optionally, the electrode welding device also includes a mounting plate 11, on which a support plate 12 is detachably mounted.

[0051] Optionally, the support plate 12 is provided with slide rails 121 on both sides, and the support block 131 is provided with a slide groove 1314 at the bottom. The support block 131 is slidably connected to the slide rails 121 of the support plate 12 through the slide groove 1314, so that the support block 131 can slide on the support plate 12 along the extension direction of the slide rails 121.

[0052] The separator assembly 133 is detachably installed in the support area 1310. When the separator assembly 133 is installed in the support area 1310, the support area 1310 is divided into a first welding area 1311 and a second welding area 1312. When the separator assembly 133 is removed from the support area 1310, a third welding area 1313 is formed within the support area 1310. The first welding area 1311 and the second welding area 1312 are used for welding the first tab 201 and the second tab 202 to the workpiece to be welded, such as a busbar, respectively. When the separator assembly 133 is removed from the support area 1310, the first welding area 1311 and the second welding area 1312 are connected to form the third welding area 1313, which is used for welding the first tab 201 and the second tab 202 to larger electronic devices, such as FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) or PCB (Printed Circuit Board).

[0053] Optionally, the partition assembly 133 includes: a partition block 1332, on which an installation groove 13321 is provided; and a partition strip 1331, which is detachably disposed in the installation groove 13321, with the upper surface of the partition strip 1331 protruding from the upper surface of the support block 131.

[0054] The extending direction of the mounting groove 13321 is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the first electrode tab 201 and the second electrode tab 202. Figure 4 From the perspective of [the location], the X direction is the arrangement direction of the first electrode 201 and the second electrode 202, the Y direction is the extension direction of the mounting groove 13321 of the partition block 1332, and the X direction is perpendicular to the Y direction. For the support area 1310 on the support block 131, the X direction is the length direction of the support area 1310, and the Y direction is the width direction of the support area 1310.

[0055] Optionally, the length of the separator 1332 along the Y direction is equal to the width of the support area 1310, and the length of the separator 1331 along the Y direction is greater than or equal to the width of the support area 1310.

[0056] When the separator block 1332 is installed in the support area 1310, the upper surface of the separator strip 1331 protrudes beyond the upper surface of the support block 131. Thus, when the pressing module 14 deviates in position during downward pressure, the pressing module 14 will first press against the separator strip 1331 of the separator assembly 133, thereby avoiding the risk of a short circuit caused by the pressing module 14 simultaneously contacting the first tab 201 and the second tab 202.

[0057] Optionally, the height of the separator 1331 can be adjusted to accommodate welding of battery cells 200 tabs of varying thicknesses and quantities.

[0058] In one possible implementation, the support module 10 in the provided electrode welding device further includes an adjustment component 132, which is detachably disposed within the support area 1310.

[0059] The thickness of the adjustment component 132 is adjustable, so that the surface of the adjustment component 132 can be higher or lower than the surface of the support block 131.

[0060] Optionally, the adjustment component 132 may include: a first adjustment block, a second adjustment block, and a third adjustment block. The first adjustment block may be disposed in the first welding area 1311 for adjusting the depth of the first welding area 1311; the second adjustment block may be disposed in the second welding area 1312 for adjusting the depth of the second welding area 1312; and the third adjustment block may be disposed in the third welding area 1313 for adjusting the depth of the third welding area 1313.

[0061] Optionally, the support module 10 also includes a copper pad 17, which is placed in the first welding area 1311 and the second welding area 1312 to place at the bottom of the first tab 201 and the second tab 202 during the welding process to prevent burn-through.

[0062] In this embodiment, the depth of the first welding area 1311, the second welding area 1312 and the third welding area 1313 are adjusted by the adjustment component 132, which can be used for welding battery cells 200 of different thicknesses and quantities, or for welding busbars / electronic devices of different thicknesses.

[0063] Figures 5 to 8 A schematic diagram of the structure of the pressing module 14 provided in one embodiment of this application is shown.

[0064] See Figure 5 and Figure 8 In one embodiment of this application, the clamping module 14 in the electrode welding device includes: a driving component 142; a clamping head 143 connected to the driving component 142, and a smoothing component 141 mounted on the clamping head 143.

[0065] Optionally, the drive assembly 142 may include a guide structure, a reset structure, and a drive connection structure. The guide structure may be a guide rod to ensure the drive assembly 142 remains stable and precise during movement, preventing lateral deviation. The reset structure may be a spring, located outside the guide rod, to return the drive assembly 142 to its initial position without external force. The drive connection mechanism is used to connect to a drive source to transmit the driving force of the drive source to the entire holding module 14. The drive source may be a cylinder, a motor, or a hydraulic device. The drive assembly 142 may also include a fixed frame, which is movably connected to other components in the electrode welding device to ensure the stability of the drive assembly 142.

[0066] During the welding process of the electrode tabs, the smoothing component 141 can move synchronously with the pressure head 143 under the drive of the drive component 142. The drive component 142 drives the pressure head 143 and the smoothing component 141 to approach the first electrode tab 201 and the second electrode tab 202 placed on the support module 10. The smoothing component 141 smooths the first electrode tab 201 or the second electrode tab 202 to be welded in the current welding process. The pressure head 143 presses the smoothed first electrode tab 201 or the second electrode tab 202 to complete the welding.

[0067] In one possible implementation, the clamping module 14 in the provided electrode welding device further includes a connector 144, which includes a clamping head connector and a drive connector connected to each other. The clamping head connector is connected to the clamping head 143, and the drive connector is connected to the drive assembly 142. The clamping head connector and the bottom surface of the clamping head 143 are not perpendicular.

[0068] Optionally, the angle between the connecting part in the connector 144 and the bottom surface of the pressure head 143 is less than 90°.

[0069] The connecting part is the portion between the first and second ends of the connector 144. The angle design of the connecting part can leave a certain space between the pressure head 143 and the drive assembly 142. In this way, the pressure head 143 can better contact the electrode tab during the welding process, avoiding interference between the pressure head 143 and the electrode tab or the components on the workpiece to be welded to the electrode tab.

[0070] In one possible implementation, see [reference] Figure 7 The smoothing component 141 is an air supply component 1410. The air supply component 1410 includes an air outlet 1411, and the two ends of the air outlet 1411 are respectively connected to a first fixing member 1412. The first fixing member 1412 is installed at both ends of the pressure head 143.

[0071] During the welding process, the air outlet 1411 in the air supply assembly 1410 is connected to an external air source. The external air source introduces airflow into the air outlet 1411 through a pipeline. The air outlet 1411 sprays the airflow directionally onto the surface of the first tab 201 or the second tab 202 to be welded, applying uniform gas pressure to the first tab 201 or the second tab 202. Through the force of the airflow, wrinkles, warping or minor unevenness on the surface of the first tab 201 or the second tab 202 will be smoothed out, avoiding poor or uneven welding contact due to warping. In this embodiment, the air supply component 1410 is used as the smoothing component 141. The airflow is used to smooth the first tab 201 or the second tab 202. The airflow can act on the entire surface of the tab, rather than a local area, to ensure that the tab is flat before welding and improve the welding quality. The airflow pressure and angle can be adjusted according to different tab sizes and materials to meet the welding needs of various battery cells 200. Furthermore, the non-contact smoothing method can avoid mechanical contact from damaging the tab, protecting the integrity and surface condition of the tab, thereby improving the welding quality.

[0072] In one possible implementation, see [reference] Figure 8 The smoothing component 141 is a roller assembly 1413, which includes a roller 1414. Both ends of the roller 1414 are respectively connected to a second fixing member 1415. The second fixing member 1415 is installed at both ends of the pressure head 143.

[0073] During the welding process, the drive assembly 142 drives the roller assembly 1413 to move above the first tab 201 or the second tab 202 to be welded in the current welding process. The roller 1414 is controlled to contact the upper surface of the first tab 201 or the second tab 202 with a certain pressure and roll along the surface of the first tab 201 or the second tab 202. During the rolling process, the roller 1414 applies a uniform force to the surface of the first tab 201 or the second tab 202 to smooth out the wrinkles or warped parts.

[0074] In this embodiment, the roller assembly 1413 is used as the smoothing assembly 141. Through the rolling action of the roller 1414, the surface of the electrode tab is smoothly and evenly smoothed. The roller assembly 1413 has a simple mechanical structure, high reliability, and is easy to maintain and adjust.

[0075] In one possible implementation, the bottom surface of the pressure head 143 is provided with a first adhesive layer 1431, and the roller 1414 is covered with a second adhesive layer.

[0076] Optionally, when the pressing module 14 is pressed against the first tab 201 and / or the second tab 202, the compression of the second adhesive layer is greater than that of the first adhesive layer 1431. The first adhesive layer 1431 ensures the stability of the pressing head 143 against the first tab 201 and / or the second tab 202, while preventing insufficient contact force between the pressing head 143 and the tab during welding, thus avoiding welding instability. The second adhesive layer on the roller 1414 has a large compression, which can play a certain role in shock absorption when the roller 1414 rolls, reducing friction and vibration damage to the tab surface, and better adapting to any minor wrinkles that may exist on the tab surface. This allows the roller 1414 to dynamically adapt to changes in the shape of the tab surface during rolling, improving the smoothing effect.

[0077] In one possible implementation, the welding device further includes: a fixing seat 151 mounted on a support plate 12; a clamping device 152 fixedly mounted on the fixing seat 151; and a pressure plate 16 for pressing against the body of the battery cell 200 under the action of the clamping device 152.

[0078] When the electrode welding device is in the welding state, the pressure plate 16 is pressed onto the body of the battery cell 200 by the clamp 152. When the electrode welding device is in the non-welding state, the pressure plate 16 can be accommodated in the receiving groove 111. Optionally, the receiving groove 111 can be formed at the bottom of the mounting plate 11 or in the mounting plate 11.

[0079] In this embodiment, the clamp 152 is used to press the body of the battery cell 200, so that the battery cell 200 to be welded remains stable during the welding process, avoiding the position of the tabs from shifting, reducing the tensile and torsional stress on the tabs during the welding process, thereby improving the welding quality. The clamp 152 is used to clamp the body of the battery cell 200, ensuring that the stacked battery cells 200 are arranged neatly, and that the tabs of each battery cell 200 are aligned, avoiding poor welding contact, uneven distribution of welding heat, or the tabs from separating from the welding substrate, which would ultimately cause defects such as incomplete welding and insufficient weld strength, thereby improving the welding strength and reliability.

[0080] Combination Figures 1 to 8 The electrode welding apparatus in one embodiment of this application includes:

[0081] A support module 10 is used to support the battery cell 200. The support module 10 includes a support plate 12, a support block 131, a separator component 133, and an adjustment component 132.

[0082] The pressing module 14 is used to press the battery cell 200 onto the support module 10. The pressing module 14 includes a drive assembly 142, a pressing head 143, and a connector 144.
