Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model specifically relates to a vacuum transfer box. Background Technology

[0002] In the lithium battery production process, manual transport carts or AGV carts are used to transfer battery cells from one process to the next. If the process changes or the next process in the same workshop is incompatible with battery cell production, it is necessary to transfer the battery cells across workshops. Lithium battery cells have strict environmental requirements during the transfer process. The cells need to be in a dry and dust-free environment. Therefore, the battery cells are in a dry and dust-free environment in the workshop. If they are transferred across workshops, they will come into contact with moisture, dust and foreign objects in the outside air. Bumps or impacts during the transfer process will also bring quality risks to the product, leading to safety problems such as gas expansion, thermal runaway and lithium plating during the charging and discharging of the battery.

[0003] To address the impact of dust and moisture on battery cells during inter-workshop transfer and to ensure stable transportation, we propose a vacuum transfer box. Utility Model Content
