Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of copper foil splicing technology, and more specifically, it relates to an automatic copper foil splicing welding device. Background Technology

[0002] Copper foil connectors are a key connection process in lithium-ion battery manufacturing. Specifically, they refer to the process of reliably connecting the copper foil current collector inside the battery to the external conductive electrode tabs. As a bridge for the battery, the copper foil collects the current generated by the active material inside the battery and transmits it to the electrode tabs for output to the external circuit.

[0003] In existing technology, multiple sets of copper foil are stacked and aligned, and one end is placed inside the thermoforming machine. The thermoforming machine is then started to thermo-press weld one end of the multi-layer copper foil, and then the other end is thermo-press welded. However, when welding multiple sets of copper foil, the copper foil is usually held by hand and placed inside the thermoforming machine. Since copper has strong thermal conductivity, it is easy to cause injury to the workers when thermo-press welding the copper foil, thus reducing its practicality. Utility Model Content

[0004] In addressing the issue that when welding multi-layer copper foil, the copper foil is typically inserted into the thermoforming machine by hand, which can easily cause injury to workers due to copper's high thermal conductivity, thus reducing its practicality, this invention proposes an automatic copper foil splicing welding device to overcome the aforementioned technical problems in existing related technologies.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model relates to an automatic copper foil splicing welding device, comprising a housing:

[0009] A support component is slidably disposed inside the outer surface of the movable component, so as to restrict the movement direction of the movable component.

[0010] The clamping component has its outer surface slidingly disposed with the interior of the moving component, so that the moving component drives the clamping component to move, and the clamping component is disposed on the upper side of the limiting component, so that the limiting component cooperates with the clamping component to clamp the copper foil;

[0011] A welding assembly, the bottom of which is fixedly installed to the top of the housing, so that the welding assembly can weld copper foil.

[0012] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a first electric push rod, the top end of which is fixedly installed inside the housing, a lifting block is fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the first electric push rod, a U-shaped frame is slidably arranged inside the lifting block, and a limit rod is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the lifting block, with the outer surface of the limit rod slidably arranged inside the housing.

[0013] Furthermore, the limiting component includes a support plate, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the top end of the U-shaped frame, and a support base is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support plate. A bidirectional screw is rotatably installed inside the support base, and a knob is fixedly connected to both ends of the bidirectional screw.

[0014] The support plate has two sets of limiting plates that slide inside, and the interior of both sets of limiting plates is threadedly connected to the threaded surface of the bidirectional screw.

[0015] Furthermore, the support assembly includes a support frame, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the top end of the housing, a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the top end of the support frame, and a support block is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting plate.

[0016] Furthermore, the movable component includes a mounting plate, one side of which is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame. A second electric push rod is fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting plate. An L-shaped plate is fixedly mounted on the telescopic end of the second electric push rod. A slider is fixedly connected to one end of the L-shaped plate. The outer surface of the slider is slidably disposed with the inside of the support block.

[0017] A movable plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slider, and a positioning cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate. A positioning rod is sleeved inside the positioning cylinder, and the bottom end of the positioning rod is fixedly connected to the top end of the support plate.

[0018] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a sliding rod, the outer surface of which is slidably disposed with the interior of the moving plate, a limit block is fixedly connected to the top end of the sliding rod, a pressure plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sliding rod, a spring is fixedly connected to the top end of the pressure plate, and one end of the spring is connected to the bottom end fixing rod of the moving plate.

[0019] Furthermore, the welding assembly includes a cylinder, the bottom end of which is fixedly mounted to the top end of the housing, and a hot press block is fixedly mounted on the telescopic end of the cylinder.

[0020] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. This utility model places the copper foil at the top of the limiting component and adjusts the distance between the limiting components, thereby limiting the copper foil on both sides. Then, the lifting component is activated, which works with the limiting component to move the copper foil upward so that the top of the copper foil is in contact with the bottom of the clamping component. At the same time, the limiting component can cooperate with the moving component. Then, the moving component is activated, which moves along the direction of the supporting component and moves the limiting component and the clamping component to move the copper foil towards the inside of the welding component. Then, the welding component is activated to perform hot-press welding on the copper foil, thereby automatically welding the copper foil, avoiding injury to workers, and improving the practicality of the automatic copper foil welding equipment.

[0022] 2. In this invention, the top end of the copper foil is brought into contact with the bottom end of the pressure plate by a support plate. As the support plate moves continuously, it causes the copper foil to press against the pressure plate, thereby causing the pressure plate to move upward. Since a sliding rod is fixedly connected to the top end of the pressure plate, and the outer surface of the sliding rod is slidably disposed with the inside of the moving plate, when the pressure plate moves, it can move along the inside of the moving plate in conjunction with the sliding rod. At the same time, when the pressure plate moves, it can compress the spring fixed at the top end, so that the compression stress of the spring, together with the pressure plate, acts on the copper foil, thereby improving the stability of the copper foil during movement.

[0023] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the above advantages at the same time. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0034] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "top", "middle", "inner", etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the utility model.

[0035] Please see Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model is an automatic copper foil splicing welding device, including a housing 1:

[0036] The housing 1 is respectively provided with a lifting assembly 2, a limiting assembly 3, a supporting assembly 4, a moving assembly 5, a clamping assembly 6, and a welding assembly 7;

[0037] The lifting component 2 is fixedly connected at its top end to the bottom end of the limiting component 3, so that the lifting component 2 drives the limiting component 3 to rise and fall, thereby adjusting the height of the limiting component 3.

[0038] The support component 4 is slidably disposed inside the outer surface of the movable component 5 so that the support component 4 restricts the movement direction of the movable component 5;

[0039] The clamping component 6 has its outer surface slidably disposed with the interior of the moving component 5, so that the moving component 5 drives the clamping component 6 to move, and the clamping component 6 is disposed on the upper side of the limiting component 3, so that the limiting component 3 cooperates with the clamping component 6 to clamp the copper foil.

[0040] The welding assembly 7 is fixedly installed at its bottom end to the top end of the housing 1 so that the welding assembly 7 can weld the copper foil.

[0041] In use, by activating the lifting assembly 2, the limiting assembly 3 fixed at the telescopic end moves downward. Then, the copper foil is placed on the top of the limiting assembly 3, and the limiting assembly 3 is rotated so that it moves while rotating, thereby limiting the copper foil on both sides. Then, the lifting assembly 2 is activated again, which works with the limiting assembly 3 to move the copper foil upward so that the top of the copper foil is in contact with the bottom of the clamping assembly 6. As the limiting assembly 3 continues to move, the pressure applied to the copper foil by the clamping assembly 6 increases. At the same time, the limiting assembly 3 can cooperate with the moving assembly 5. Then, the moving assembly 5 is activated, which moves along the direction of the support assembly 4 that is slidably set on the outer surface. This causes the moving assembly 5 to move the limiting assembly 3 and the clamping assembly 6 that is slidably set inside, so that they work together to move the copper foil to the inside of the welding assembly 7. Then, the welding assembly 7 is activated to perform hot-press welding on the copper foil.

[0042] This invention places the copper foil at the top of the limiting component 3 and adjusts the distance between the limiting components 3, thereby limiting the copper foil on both sides. Then, the lifting component 2 is activated, which works with the limiting component 3 to move the copper foil upward so that the top of the copper foil is in contact with the bottom of the clamping component 6. At the same time, the limiting component 3 can cooperate with the moving component 5. Then, the moving component 5 is activated, which moves along the direction of the supporting component 4 and moves the limiting component 3 and the clamping component 6, so that they can work together to move the copper foil towards the inside of the welding component 7. Then, the welding component 7 is activated to perform hot-press welding on the copper foil, thereby automatically welding the copper foil, avoiding injury to workers, and improving the practicality of the automatic copper foil welding equipment.

[0043] In one embodiment, the lifting assembly 2 includes a first electric push rod 201. The top end of the first electric push rod 201 is fixedly installed inside the housing 1. A lifting block 202 is fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the first electric push rod 201. A U-shaped frame 203 is slidably arranged inside the lifting block 202. A limit rod 204 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the lifting block 202. The outer surface of the limit rod 204 is slidably arranged inside the housing 1.

[0044] The first electric push rod 201 drives the lifting block 202 installed at the output end to move, so that the lifting block 202 drives the U-shaped frame 203 that is slidably set inside to move, so as to adjust the height of the U-shaped frame 203. At the same time, when the lifting block 202 moves, it can drive the limiting rod 204 fixed at the bottom end to slide along the inner wall of the housing 1, so that the limiting rod 204 restricts the movement direction of the lifting block 202, thereby improving the stability of the lifting block 202 during the movement process.

[0045] In one embodiment, the limiting component 3 includes a support plate 301, the bottom end of the support plate 301 is fixedly connected to the top end of the U-shaped frame 203, the bottom end of the support plate 301 is fixedly connected to a support base 302, and a bidirectional screw 303 is rotatably provided inside the support base 302. Both ends of the bidirectional screw 303 are fixedly connected to a knob 304.

[0046] The support plate 301 has two sets of limiting plates 305 that are slidably arranged inside, and the interior of both sets of limiting plates 305 is threadedly connected to the threaded surface of the bidirectional screw 303.

[0047] By rotating the knob 304, the bidirectional screw 303 fixed on one side is rotated. Since the threaded surfaces of the bidirectional screw 303 are connected to the internal threads of the two sets of limiting plates 305 respectively, and the two sets of limiting plates 305 are symmetrical, when the bidirectional screw 303 rotates, it can drive the two sets of limiting plates 305 to move in opposite directions. This makes it easy to adjust the distance between the two sets of limiting plates 305 to suit copper foils of different widths, thereby improving the applicability of the automatic copper foil splicing welding equipment.

[0048] When the U-shaped frame 203 moves up and down with the lifting block 202, it can drive the support plate 301 fixed at the top to move. When the support plate 301 moves down, it is convenient to place the copper foil at the top of the support plate 301. When the support plate 301 moves up, it can drive the copper foil to move up.

[0049] In one embodiment, the support component 4 includes a support frame 401, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the top end of the housing 1, a connecting plate 402 is fixedly connected to the top end of the support frame 401, and a support block 403 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting plate 402.

[0050] The support frame 401 is H-shaped, and there are two sets of connecting plates 402, so that one side of each set of connecting plates 402 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 401, thereby enabling the two sets of connecting plates 402 to support the top two ends of the support block 403, thus improving the stability of the support block 403 during use.

[0051] In one embodiment, the moving component 5 includes a mounting plate 501, one side of which is fixedly connected to one side of a support frame 401. A second electric push rod 502 is fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting plate 501. An L-shaped plate 503 is fixedly mounted on the telescopic end of the second electric push rod 502. A slider 504 is fixedly connected to one end of the L-shaped plate 503. The outer surface of the slider 504 is slidably disposed with the interior of the support block 403.

[0052] A movable plate 505 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the slider 504, and a positioning cylinder 506 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the movable plate 505. A positioning rod 507 is sleeved inside the positioning cylinder 506, and the bottom end of the positioning rod 507 is fixedly connected to the top end of the support plate 301.

[0053] When the support plate 301 rises and falls with the movement of the U-shaped frame 203, it causes the positioning rod 507 fixed at the top to rise, so that the positioning rod 507 is inserted into the positioning cylinder 506. This connects the support plate 301, the positioning rod 507, and the positioning cylinder 506 to the moving plate 505. Then, by activating the second electric push rod 502, the L-shaped plate 503 installed at the telescopic end is moved, causing the L-shaped plate 503 to move the slider 504 fixed at one end. Due to the outer surface of the slider 504... The slider 504 is slidably disposed inside the support block 403, and the bottom end of the slider 504 is fixedly connected to the top end of the moving plate 505. Thus, when the slider 504 moves, it can drive the moving plate 505 to move along the direction of the support block 403, so that the moving plate 505, together with the positioning cylinder 506 and the positioning rod 507, drives the support plate 301 to move. This allows the support plate 301, together with the U-shaped frame 203 fixed at the bottom end, to move along the direction of the lifting block 202, thereby facilitating the movement of the copper foil by the support plate 301.

[0054] In one embodiment, the clamping assembly 6 includes a sliding rod 601, the outer surface of which is slidably disposed with respect to the interior of the moving plate 505. A limit block 602 is fixedly connected to the top end of the sliding rod 601, and a pressure plate 603 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sliding rod 601. A spring 604 is fixedly connected to the top end of the pressure plate 603, and one end of the spring 604 is connected to the bottom end fixing rod of the moving plate 505.

[0055] When the support plate 301 moves up and down with the movement of the U-shaped frame 203, the top of the copper foil is brought into contact with the bottom of the pressure plate 603. As the support plate 301 continues to move, it causes the copper foil to press against the pressure plate 603, thereby causing the pressure plate 603 to move upward. Since the top of the pressure plate 603 is fixedly connected to the sliding rod 601, and the outer surface of the sliding rod 601 is slidably disposed with the inside of the moving plate 505, when the pressure plate 603 moves, it can move along the inside of the moving plate 505 in conjunction with the sliding rod 601. At the same time, when the pressure plate 603 moves, it can compress the spring 604 fixed at the top, so that the compressive stress of the spring 604 acts on the copper foil in conjunction with the pressure plate 603, thereby improving the stability of the copper foil during movement.

[0056] In one embodiment, the welding assembly 7 includes a cylinder 701, the bottom end of which is fixedly installed with the top end of the housing 1, and a hot press block 702 is fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the cylinder 701.

[0057] The hot pressing block 702 installed on the telescopic end is moved by starting the cylinder 701, so that the hot pressing block 702 can perform hot pressing welding on one end of the copper foil, which is more convenient.

[0058] Through the above technical solution, 1. By placing the copper foil at the top of the limiting component 3 and adjusting the distance between the limiting components 3, the limiting components 3 limit both sides of the copper foil. Then, the lifting component 2 is activated, which works with the limiting component 3 to move the copper foil upward so that the top of the copper foil is in contact with the bottom of the clamping component 6. At the same time, the limiting component 3 can cooperate with the moving component 5. Then, the moving component 5 is activated, which moves along the direction of the supporting component 4 and moves the limiting component 3 and the clamping component 6. This allows the limiting component 3 and the clamping component 6 to work together to move the copper foil towards the inside of the welding component 7. Then, the welding component 7 is activated to perform hot-press welding on the copper foil, thereby automatically welding the copper foil, avoiding injury to workers, and improving the practicality of the automatic copper foil welding equipment.

[0059] 2. The support plate 301 drives the top of the copper foil to fit against the bottom of the pressure plate 603. As the support plate 301 continues to move, it causes the copper foil to press against the pressure plate 603, thereby causing the pressure plate 603 to move upward. Since the top of the pressure plate 603 is fixedly connected to the sliding rod 601, and the outer surface of the sliding rod 601 is slidably disposed with the inside of the moving plate 505, when the pressure plate 603 moves, it can move along the inside of the moving plate 505 in conjunction with the sliding rod 601. At the same time, when the pressure plate 603 moves, it can compress the spring 604 fixed at the top, so that the compressive stress of the spring 604, together with the pressure plate 603, acts on the copper foil, thereby improving the stability of the copper foil during movement.
