[0022] 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.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention provides a welding device for the manufacturing process of aluminum-cased batteries, including a housing 1, a storage rack 2 fixedly connected to the top of the housing 1, a robotic arm 3 fixedly connected to the back of the housing 1, and a welding head 4 fixedly connected to the mounting head of the robotic arm 3.

[0024] The adsorption mechanism includes a vent 5 located on the top of the outer casing 1 and outside the storage rack 2. A fixing frame 6 is fixedly connected to the right side inside the outer casing 1. An air duct 7 is connected to the top of the fixing frame 6. The top of the air duct 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer casing 1. The air duct 7 is aligned with the vent 5. An installation frame 8 located to the right of the air duct 7 is movably connected inside the fixing frame 6. An electrostatic filter 9 and an activated carbon filter 10 are fixedly connected inside the installation frame 8 by a snap-fit ​​structure. The electrostatic filter 9 is located to the left of the activated carbon filter 10. A cover plate 11 is fixedly connected to the right side of the outer casing 1 by a snap-fit ​​structure. The cover plate 11 is aligned with the fixing frame 6. A fan 12 is fixedly connected to the right side of the cover plate 11. The left side of the fan 12 passes through the cover plate 11 and extends into the interior of the fixing frame 6. A sealing mechanism is provided on the surface of the installation frame 8. A reinforcement mechanism is provided inside the outer casing 1.

[0025] refer to Figure 5 The sealing mechanism includes an annular groove 13 formed on the surface of the mounting bracket 8. A sealing strip 14 is fixedly connected inside the annular groove 13. The outer side of the sealing strip 14 extends to the outside of the annular groove 13 and is sealed to the inner wall of the mounting bracket 6. An auxiliary mechanism is provided on the surface of the mounting bracket 8.

[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting an annular groove 13 and a sealing strip 14, the gap between the mounting frame 8 and the fixed frame 6 is sealed to prevent welding fumes from leaking through the gap between the mounting frame 8 and the fixed frame 6, thus affecting the effect of the adsorption mechanism in purifying welding fumes.

[0027] refer to Figure 5 The auxiliary mechanism includes a limiting frame 15 movably connected to the left side of the mounting frame 8. The outer side of the limiting frame 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 6. The inside of the mounting frame 8 is fixedly connected to a pull handle 16 located on the right side of the activated carbon filter element 10.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a limiting frame 15, when the worker places the mounting frame 8 inside the fixed frame 6, the position of the mounting frame 8 is limited to avoid the mounting frame 8 blocking the air inlet of the air duct 7. The pull handle 16 provides the worker with a force application position to move the mounting frame 8, making it convenient for the worker to disassemble and assemble the mounting frame 8.

[0029] refer to Figure 4 The reinforcement mechanism includes a reinforcing rib 17 fixedly connected to the top inside the housing 1 and located outside the vent 5. The outer side of the reinforcing rib 17 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air duct 7. A support column 18 located outside the fixing frame 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom inside the housing 1. The top of the support column 18 is fixedly connected to the top inside the housing 1.

[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting reinforcing ribs 17 and support columns 18, the outer shell 1 is supported and reinforced, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity of the outer shell 1 and preventing the outer shell 1 from deforming due to poor load-bearing capacity.

[0031] refer to Figure 3 A barrier net 19 is fixedly connected inside the vent 5, and the top of the barrier net 19 extends to the outside of the vent 5.

[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting up a barrier net 19, debris is blocked, preventing it from entering the air duct 7 and the fixing frame 6 through the ventilation port 5 and affecting the normal operation of the electrostatic filter element 9.

[0033] refer to Figure 2 The bottom of the robotic arm 3 is fixedly connected to a support plate 20, and the bottom of the support plate 20 is fixedly connected to a reinforcing plate 21. The front of both the support plate 20 and the reinforcing plate 21 are fixedly connected to the back of the outer shell 1.

[0034] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a support plate 20 and a reinforcing plate 21, the connection between the robotic arm 3 and the outer shell 1 is reinforced to prevent the robotic arm 3 from breaking due to external impact.

[0035] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When in use, first place the battery in the storage rack 2, then start the robotic arm 3. The robotic arm 3 drives the welding head 4 to move, so that the welding head 4 contacts the battery, thereby welding the battery. During this process, a large amount of welding fumes will be generated. At this time, start the fan 12. The fan 12 extracts the welding fumes through the fixed frame 6, the air hood 7 and the ventilation port 5. When the welding fumes pass through the mounting frame 8, the electrostatic filter element 9 will filter the large particulate impurities in the welding fumes. Then the activated carbon filter element 10 will adsorb and purify the welding fumes, thereby preventing workers from accidentally inhaling the welding fumes.

[0036] In summary, this welding equipment used in the aluminum-cased battery manufacturing process effectively absorbs welding fumes generated during the welding process by incorporating a fan 12, a fixed frame 6, an exhaust hood 7, and a ventilation opening 5. It also utilizes an electrostatic filter element 9 to filter large particulate impurities from the welding fumes, preventing these impurities from clogging the activated carbon filter element 10. Finally, the activated carbon filter element 10 adsorbs and purifies the welding fumes, preventing workers from accidentally inhaling them and improving the safety of the welding equipment.
