[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery aluminum shell processing, and in particular to a battery aluminum shell forming device. Background Technology
[0002] As an important component of batteries, the quality and performance of the aluminum casing directly affect the safety, stability, and lifespan of the battery. In the production process of aluminum casings, stamping is a commonly used processing method. By using equipment such as punch presses and molds, aluminum plates are stamped to achieve rapid forming of the aluminum casing.
[0003] However, the current battery aluminum shell forming and stamping process lacks corresponding protective structures. When workers adjust or place the aluminum plate, the stamping parts can easily cause injuries such as squeezing or cutting to the workers, thus posing safety hazards during work. To address this issue, we propose a battery aluminum shell forming device. Utility Model Content

[0020] 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.
[0021] Please see Figures 1-4In this utility model, a battery aluminum shell forming device includes a forming table 1. A forming mold base 2 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the forming table 1. Two sets of support columns 4 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the forming table 1. A top plate 5 is fixedly installed at the top of the two sets of support columns 4. A driving assembly 3 is provided above the top plate 5. A forming pressure plate 16 is provided below the top plate 5. A support base 7 is provided below the forming table 1. Two feeding assemblies 8 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support base 7. A groove 9 is opened on the upper surface of the support base 7. Two cylinders 10 are fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the groove 9. The cylinders 10 need to be connected to an external air source device. A lifting protective plate 11 is fixedly installed on the telescopic ends of the two cylinders 10. A detection plate 14 is fixedly installed on one side of the top plate 5. A human body displacement sensor 15 is fixedly installed on one side of the detection plate 14. The human body displacement sensor 15 is an infrared sensing human body sensor. Based on the pyroelectric effect, the human body will emit infrared rays of a specific wavelength. The sensor has a built-in pyroelectric infrared detector. When the human body enters its detection range, the infrared rays emitted by the human body will be detected. The infrared radiation is received by the detector, causing a change in the detector's surface temperature, which in turn generates a pyroelectric effect, converting the infrared signal into an electrical signal. After signal amplification and filtering, the output signal can be recognized by the controller 18 to determine whether personnel have entered the danger zone. The controller 18 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the top plate 5. The forming mold base 2 is used to place the aluminum plate and serve as the base platform for stamping. Through two sets of support columns 4 and the fixed top plate 5, a three-dimensional frame can be formed, which will provide the installation and support foundation for components such as the drive component 3 and the forming pressure plate 16. The support base 7 enhances the overall support strength and stability of the device, preventing the device from shaking or displacing due to uneven force during operation. The human displacement sensor 15 monitors the position information of the personnel in the operating area in real time and transmits the data to the controller 18, providing a basis for the controller 18 to control the lifting and lowering of the lifting protective plate 11, realizing intelligent safety protection function. When the personnel are in the operating area, the controller 18 stops the operation of the electro-hydraulic push rod 301 to avoid the phenomenon of downward pressure.
[0022] In a further embodiment, the drive assembly 3 includes an electro-hydraulic push rod 301 fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the top plate 5. A connecting plate 302 is fixedly mounted on the telescopic end of the electro-hydraulic push rod 301. The bottom surface of the connecting plate 302 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the forming pressure plate 16. Two sliding holes 304 are opened on the upper surface of the top plate 5. Sliding rods 303 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two sliding holes 304. The bottom ends of the two sliding rods 303 are fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the connecting plate 302. The electro-hydraulic push rod 301 drives the connecting plate 302 to move, which can transmit the power of the electro-hydraulic push rod 301 to the forming pressure plate 16. The forming pressure plate 16 will move downward to stamp the aluminum plate. The sliding holes 304 and the sliding rods 303 cooperate to guide and stabilize the plate, which can limit the movement direction of the connecting plate 302 and the forming pressure plate 16, ensuring that the forming pressure plate 16 presses down vertically and accurately, thereby improving the accuracy and quality of stamping.
[0023] In a further embodiment, both feeding assemblies 8 include a support cover 801 fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the support base 7. Springs 802 are fixedly mounted on the inner bottom walls of both support covers 801. Sliding plates 803 are fixedly mounted on the top ends of both springs 802. Feeding plates 804 are fixedly mounted on the upper surfaces of both sliding plates 803. A feeding pusher 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the forming mold base 2. The upper surfaces of both feeding plates 804 are fixedly mounted to the bottom surfaces of the feeding pusher 6. Two feeding plates are shared on the bottom surface of the forming mold base 2 and the upper surface of the forming table 1. The outer surfaces of the two unloading plates 804 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two sliding ports 805. The support cover 801 provides installation space for the internal spring 802, sliding plate 803 and unloading plate 804. The spring 802, as a power element, uses the elastic force generated by its own elastic deformation to push the sliding plate 803 and unloading plate 804 upward. When the spring 802 pushes the unloading plate 804 upward, the unloading push plate 6 moves upward and pushes the formed battery aluminum shell out from the forming mold base 2, completing the unloading operation.
[0024] In a further embodiment, a limiting seat 13 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support base 7, and a limiting block 17 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting seat 13. One side of the limiting block 17 is connected to one side of the lifting protective plate 11. A recessed hole 12 is provided on the outer surface of the forming table 1, and the lifting protective plate 11 is located inside the recessed hole 12. By cooperating with the limiting seat 13 and the limiting block 17, the lifting movement of the lifting protective plate 11 can be limited and guided, ensuring that the lifting protective plate 11 rises and falls smoothly in the vertical direction and avoiding tilting or deviation during the lifting process.
[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, an aluminum plate is placed above the forming mold base 2. The human body displacement sensor 15 is installed above the detection plate 14. The human body displacement sensor 15 monitors the position information of the workers in the operating area in real time and transmits the data to the controller 18. If the workers move away from the stamping area, the controller 18 controls the cylinder 10 to start. The telescopic end of the cylinder 10 drives the lifting protective plate 11 to rise. After it is raised, it can prevent the workers from continuing to approach the dangerous area and avoid being injured by the stamping parts.
[0026] Next, the electro-hydraulic push rod 301 in the drive assembly 3 is started. The telescopic end of the electro-hydraulic push rod 301 drives the connecting plate 302 and the forming pressure plate 16 downward to stamp the aluminum plate on the forming mold base 2. After the stamping is completed, the elastic action of the spring 802 pushes the sliding plate 803 and the unloading plate 804 upward, and causes the unloading push plate 6 to push the formed battery aluminum shell out of the forming mold base 2, completing the unloading operation.
