[0029] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and optional embodiments.

[0030] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a sealing laser welding apparatus according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a cover according to an embodiment of this application, in conjunction with... Figures 1-2 As shown, this application discloses a sealing laser welding device 10, which is used for welding cylindrical batteries. The sealing laser welding device 10 includes a laser welding unit 100, a dust removal unit 200, and a fixing unit 300. The fixing unit 300 is used to fix the cylindrical battery to be welded. The laser welding unit 100 is used to emit a laser to the welding position of the cylindrical battery to be welded. The dust removal unit 200 is used to absorb the dust generated during welding. Of course, the dust removal unit 200 can also absorb the welding slag generated during the welding process.

[0031] The sealing laser welding device 10 also includes a cover 800 and a protective gas output unit 710. The cover 800 is connected to the fixing unit 300, and a battery inlet 860 is provided at the bottom of the cover 800. A protective gas inlet channel 830 and a laser inlet hole 840 are provided on the side wall of the cover 800.

[0032] The protective gas output unit 710 is connected to the protective gas inlet channel 830. The protective gas output unit 710 is used to input protective gas into the cover 800. The top of the cylindrical battery to be welded extends into the cover 800 from the battery inlet 860. The laser emitted by the laser welding unit 100 enters into the cover 800 from the laser inlet 840.

[0033] In other words, the cover 800 covers the top of the cylindrical battery to be welded, and then the laser emitted by the laser welding unit 100 welds the top of the cylindrical battery to be welded. At the same time as welding, the cylindrical battery to be welded rotates synchronously to complete the sealing of the cylindrical battery to be welded.

[0034] Existing sealing laser welding equipment typically sprays protective gas onto the welding position of the cylindrical battery to prevent oxidation. However, because the cylindrical battery needs to be rotated during welding, and the dust removal unit 200 in the existing sealing laser welding equipment creates negative pressure at the welding point, the protective gas at the welding point is rapidly lost. This results in the previously welded area coming into contact with air after rotation, leading to oxidation.

[0035] Compared to existing sealing laser welding devices, the sealing laser welding device 10 of this application features a cover 800 with a protective gas inlet channel 830 and a laser inlet hole 840 on its side wall. The laser emitted by the laser welding unit 100 can enter the cover 800 through the laser inlet hole 840 to perform laser welding on the cylindrical battery to be welded. The protective gas output unit 710 is connected to the protective gas inlet channel 830 and can input protective gas into the cover 800, so that the battery to be welded is in a space filled with protective gas during ring welding, avoiding oxidation of the cylindrical battery at the welding position, improving the welding yield, and enhancing the reliability of the sealing laser welding device 10.

[0036] The cover 800 includes a main sidewall 810 and a tapering sidewall 820, with the tapering sidewall 820 connected to the main sidewall 810. The protective gas inlet channel 830 and the laser inlet 840 are both located on the main sidewall 810. The end of the tapering sidewall 820 away from the main sidewall 810 forms the battery inlet 860, and the tapering sidewall 820 is inclined towards the axis of the cover 800. Simply put, the tapering sidewall 820 tapers inward, thereby reducing the distance between the tapering sidewall 820 and the cylindrical battery to be welded, making it less likely for air to enter the cover 800.

[0037] Furthermore, to accommodate batteries of different diameters to be welded, the outer wall of the closing sidewall 820 in this application is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the main sidewall 810. For example, when welding cylindrical batteries with larger diameters, the closing sidewall 820 can be unscrewed from the main sidewall 810 and replaced with a closing sidewall 820 of a larger diameter, eliminating the need to replace the entire cover 800 and improving the applicability of the sealing laser welding device 10.

[0038] Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a cover according to an embodiment of this application, in conjunction with... Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3The direction indicated by the middle arrow represents the movement direction of part of the protective gas. The protective gas inlet channel 830 includes a first sub-channel 831 and a second sub-channel 832. The first sub-channel 831 and the second sub-channel 832 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the main sidewall 810. The first sub-channel 831 and the second sub-channel 832 are both arranged obliquely on the same horizontal plane, and the first sub-channel 831 and the second sub-channel 832 are respectively oriented towards the front and rear sides of the main sidewall 810.

[0039] The existing protective gas output unit 710 is usually coaxially arranged with the laser welding unit 100, that is, the laser emission direction of the laser welding unit 100 is the same as the direction of the protective gas output of the protective gas output unit 710. This will cause welding dust to splash. However, when the protective gas output unit 710 of this application inputs protective gas into the first sub-channel 831 and the second sub-channel 832, the protective gas can rotate within the cover 800 to avoid dust splashing.

[0040] Moreover, by simply controlling the rotation direction of the cylindrical battery to be welded to be opposite to the flow direction of the protective gas within the cover 800, it is possible to prevent welding slag from splashing onto the unwelded areas, thereby improving the welding reliability of the sealing laser welding device 10.

[0041] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a fixed horizontal plate according to an embodiment of this application, in conjunction with... Figure 4 As shown, the sealing laser welding device 10 includes a fixed horizontal plate 720 with an opening in the middle. The laser welding unit 100 is connected to the fixed horizontal plate 720, and the laser emitted by the laser welding unit 100 passes through the fixed horizontal plate 720 and then enters the cover 800 through the laser inlet 840. The dust removal unit 200 includes a first exhaust pipe 210 and a second exhaust pipe 220, which are respectively connected to both ends of the fixed horizontal plate 720. Both the first exhaust pipe 210 and the second exhaust pipe 220 face the cover 800.

[0042] By setting both the first exhaust pipe 210 and the second exhaust pipe 220 to face the cover 800, the welding dust generated is absorbed from both sides simultaneously. Furthermore, the welding slag blown out by the first sub-channel 831 and the second sub-channel 832 is also absorbed, ensuring the cleanliness of the welding position and improving welding reliability. Additionally, the first exhaust pipe 210, the second exhaust pipe 220, and the laser welding unit 100 are all fixed on a fixed horizontal plate 720, eliminating the need for frequent adjustments to the positions of the first exhaust pipe 210 and the second exhaust pipe 220, thus reducing operational difficulty.

[0043] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of a fixing unit according to an embodiment of this application, in conjunction with... Figure 5 As shown, the fixing unit 300 includes a main support plate 400, a lifting assembly 500, a bearing plate 610, and a semi-enclosed fixing claw 620. The lifting assembly 500 is disposed on the main support plate 400; the bearing plate 610 is disposed on the main support plate 400 and is located above the lifting assembly 500; the semi-enclosed fixing claw 620 is disposed on the main support plate 400 and is located on the side of the bearing plate 610 opposite to the lifting assembly 500.

[0044] The lifting assembly 500 includes a lifting assembly 510 and a top column assembly 520. The lifting assembly 510 is connected to the main support plate 400, and the top column assembly 520 is rotatably connected to the side of the lifting assembly 510 near the support plate 610. The support plate 610 is provided with a carrier plate through hole 611. The support plate 610 is used to place the cylindrical battery to be welded. The lifting assembly 510 is used to drive the top column assembly 520 through the carrier plate through hole 611 to lift the top of the cylindrical battery to be welded into the cover 800. The semi-enclosed fixing claw 620 is used to abut against the side of the cylindrical battery to be welded.

[0045] The sealing laser welding device 10 further includes a rotating component 730, which is connected to the main support plate 400 and is located on the side of the cover 800 away from the lifting component 500. The top of the cover 800 is provided with a rotation inlet 850, and the rotating component 730 abuts against the top of the battery to be welded through the rotation inlet 850. The rotating component 730 is used to drive the battery to be welded to rotate, and the rotation direction of the rotating component 730 is opposite to the flow direction of the protective gas in the cover 800.

[0046] When welding the cylindrical battery to be welded, the cylindrical battery to be welded is transferred to the carrier plate 610. Then, the lifting assembly 510 drives the top column assembly 520 to pass through the through hole 611 of the carrier plate to lift the top of the cylindrical battery to be welded into the cover 800 and abut against the rotating assembly 730. At this time, the semi-enclosed fixing claw 620 abuts against the side of the cylindrical battery to be welded to prevent the cylindrical battery to be welded from falling. The protective gas output unit 710 inputs protective gas into the cover 800 through the protective gas inlet channel 830. Then, the laser emitted by the laser welding unit 100 enters the cover 800 through the laser inlet hole 840 to weld the cylindrical battery to be welded. At the same time, the rotating assembly 730 rotates to drive the battery to be welded to rotate, thus completing the welding work of the cylindrical battery to be welded.

[0047] The semi-enclosed fixing claw 620 includes a clamping arm 621 and a roller 622. The clamping arm 621 is connected to the main support plate 400, and the roller 622 is connected to the end of the clamping arm 621 away from the main support plate 400. The outer wall of the roller 622 is used to abut against the side of the cylindrical battery to be welded, and the rotation direction of the roller 622 is consistent with the rotation direction of the cylindrical battery to be welded.

[0048] By setting the roller 622, when the cylindrical battery to be welded rotates, the roller 622 can rotate along with it, thereby changing the relative sliding between the cylindrical battery to be welded and the semi-enclosed fixing claw 620 to rolling, thus avoiding wear on the side wall of the cylindrical battery to be welded and causing damage to the cylindrical battery to be welded.

[0049] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of a top post assembly according to an embodiment of this application, in conjunction with... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, to avoid damage to the cylindrical battery to be welded, the top column assembly 520 includes a first column 521, an elastic element 524, and a second column 525. One end of the first column 521 is connected to the lifting assembly 510, and the other end of the first column 521 is provided with a groove 522. The elastic element 524 is disposed in the groove 522 of the first column 521. The inner wall of the groove 522 of the first column 521 abuts against the outer wall of the second column 525. The two ends of the elastic element 524 abut against the bottom wall of the groove 522 of the first column 521 and the second column 525, respectively.

[0050] In simple terms, the second column 525 abuts against the bottom of the cylindrical battery to be welded. The lifting assembly 510 drives the top column assembly 520 through the through hole 611 of the carrier plate to lift the top of the cylindrical battery to be welded into the cover 800 and abut against the rotating assembly 730. At the same time, the first column 521 presses down on the elastic member 524 to release the contact stress between the cylindrical battery to be welded and the rotating assembly 730, thereby avoiding damage to the cylindrical battery to be welded.

[0051] Furthermore, a limiting elongated through hole 523 is provided on the side wall of the first column 521, and a positioning protrusion 526 is provided on the outer wall of the second column 525. The positioning protrusion 526 is located within the limiting elongated through hole 523. This is to prevent the second column 525 from detaching from the first column 521. The length direction of the limiting elongated through hole 523 is consistent with the opposite direction of the up-and-down movement of the second column 525.

[0052] It should be noted that the inventive concept of this application can form many embodiments, but due to the limited space of the application documents, they cannot all be listed. Therefore, without conflict, the embodiments described above or the technical features can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments. After the embodiments or technical features are combined, the original technical effect will be enhanced.

[0053] The above description, in conjunction with specific optional embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of this application and should not be construed as limiting the specific implementation of this application to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of this application, and all such modifications or substitutions should be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
