[0017] 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.

[0018] Please seeFigs. 1 to 4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a lithium battery connector shaping mechanism, comprising a workbench, characterized in that: a loading groove 3 is provided on the workbench 1, a loading robot 2 is provided above the loading groove 3, and a wire clamping fixture 4 is provided at the rear end of the loading groove 3. The loading robot 2 places the connector a on the loading groove 3, and the clamping head of the loading robot 2, through the action of the partition plate 21, makes the two connecting wires a2 below the terminal a1 of the connector a open, and then through the action of the wire clamping fixture 4, keeps the upper part of the connector a open. A transverse slide rail 5 is correspondingly provided behind the wire clamp 4, and a longitudinal slide rail 6 is provided on the transverse slide rail. A material picking clamp 7 is installed on the longitudinal slide rail 6. The material picking clamp 7 is driven by a motor and belt, and slides on the transverse slide rail 5 to the front of the wire clamp 4. Then, the separating block 71 is inserted into the opening of the connector a, and the left clamp block 72 and the right clamp block 73 close to hold the connector a. Then, the wire clamp 4 is released, and the material picking clamp 7 slides back to the front end of the transverse slide rail 5. The material picking clamp 7 has independently sliding wire clamps symmetrically arranged on both sides. The system comprises a first clamp 8 and a second clamp 9, which are respectively mounted on the motion track 10. The material handling clamp 7 adjusts its height via the longitudinal track 6 so that the height of the connecting wire a2 is consistent with that of the first clamp 8 and the second clamp 9. The clamping assembly 81 clamps the two connecting wires a2 respectively. Since the two connecting wires a2 are of different lengths, and the two tabs need to be symmetrical in the next step of forming the tab a3, the first clamp 8 and the second clamp 9 need to slide on the motion track 10 to adjust the length of the front end of the connecting wire a2. To maintain consistency, the first and second line clamps 8 and 9 return to their initial positions and remain symmetrical, thus forming a three-point clamping configuration between the material pick-up clamp 7, the first line clamp 8, and the second line clamp 9. Behind the first line clamp 8, there is a tab shaping mechanism 11, which is movably mounted on the motion track 10. The final processing position of the tab shaping mechanism 11 corresponds to the position of the material pick-up clamp 7. Finally, the tab is corrected under the action of the tab shaping mechanism. During this process, the flat line chuck 81 will loosen and then tighten, ultimately maintaining the tab a3 in the correct direction.

[0019] Preferably, the wire clamping fixture 4 includes an upper clamping block and a lower clamping block. The upper clamping block can be flipped upwards by 90 degrees. The upper clamping block is opened before feeding. The feeding robot 2 places the connector a end in the lower clamping block, and the upper clamping block presses down to fix the connector a.

[0020] Preferably, the material handling head of the feeding robot 2 is three-pronged, including clamping plates 22 on both sides and a partition plate 21 in the middle of the clamping plates 22, which is the most efficient solution in this embodiment.

[0021] Preferably, the material handling clamp 7 is provided with a left clamping block 72 and a right clamping block 73, and a separating block 71 is provided between the two clamping blocks, which is the best solution in this embodiment.

[0022] Preferably, both the first wire clamp 8 and the second wire clamp 9 include a symmetrically arranged wire clamping assembly 81. The clamps of the wire clamping assembly 82 are toothed, and a set of flat wire clamps 81 are also sleeved on the outside of the wire clamping assembly 81. Since the connecting wire a2 is made of soft material, the independent toothed clamps are more convenient to sleeve the connecting wire a2. Then, after the final alignment of the connecting wire a2 is completed by the flat wire clamps 81, the connecting wire a2 is clamped and fixed.

[0023] Preferably, the tab shaping mechanism 11 includes a base mounted on the motion track 10, a longitudinal track on the base, a slider 111 on the longitudinal track, a sheet metal part 112 mounted on the slider 111, and two symmetrical magnetic parts 113 movably mounted on the sheet metal part 112. The magnetic parts 113 are inclined vertically, and symmetrical shaping chucks 114 are sleeved on the outside of the magnetic parts 113. The shaping chucks 114 are shaped like a large V-shaped opening 1141. When the material handling clamp 7, the first wire clamp 8, and the second wire clamp 9 form a three-point clamping and fixing, the slider 111 slides on the longitudinal track, driving the sheet metal part 112 to make the magnetic parts... When the symmetrical tabs a3 of the magnetic component 113 are positioned, the flat wire clamp 81 will open appropriately. Under the action of magnetic force, the two tabs a3 will be attracted to the magnetic component 113 respectively. The magnetic component 113 is tilted vertically to ensure that after the tabs a3 are attracted to the magnetic component 113, they will be completely attached to the magnetic component 113 under the action of magnetic force. Finally, the symmetrical shaping clamp 114 clamps down, so that the magnetic component 113 is aligned and the tabs a3 are aligned accordingly. Then the flat wire clamp 81 closes, pressing down on the connecting wire a2 to fix the position and direction of the tabs a3. The shaping clamp 114 has a large V-shaped opening 1141, which is to facilitate the clamping of the connecting wire a2 when clamping down.

Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
