The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 A pole post riveting mechanism includes a frame 1, on which two sets of riveting structures 2 are mounted. The riveting mechanism also includes two sets of cover plate carriers 3 corresponding one-to-one with the two sets of riveting structures 2. Each cover plate carrier 3 includes a base 31, on which a support plate 32 is movably mounted along a first direction X. Two cover plate clamps 33 are spaced apart along the first direction X on the support plate 32. The riveting structure 2 is positioned on the movement path of its corresponding cover plate clamp 33 along the first direction X. In this embodiment, as shown... Figure 1As shown, one set of riveting structure 2, in conjunction with cover plate carrier 3, is used for riveting the positive terminal post, and the other set of riveting structure 2, in conjunction with cover plate carrier 3, is used for riveting the negative terminal post. The same set of cover plate carrier 3 has two cover plate clamps 33, meaning that two battery covers 4 can be mounted on the same set of cover plate carrier 3. In use, for the same cover plate carrier 3, the battery cover 4 on one cover plate clamp 33 is in the riveting state, while the battery cover 4 on the other cover plate clamp 33 is ready for use. After the first battery cover 4 is riveted, the support plate 32... The mechanism moves along the first direction X so that another cover plate fixture 33 moves to the riveting station for riveting. The cover plate fixture 33, which has just completed the riveting operation, moves away from the riveting station. The riveted battery cover plate 4 is unloaded or transferred to another riveting structure 2 for riveting another pole post 42. Then, a new battery cover plate 4 is loaded onto the unloaded cover plate fixture 33 to prepare materials, so as to realize the uninterrupted operation of the riveting mechanism, which is conducive to improving processing efficiency and thus meeting the production line's production cycle requirements.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, the cover plate clamp 33 includes a base plate 331, on which a main body block 332 is disposed. The main body block 332 is used to support the battery cover plate 4. A width limiting block 333 is adjustablely disposed on the base plate 331. The two width limiting blocks 333 are spaced apart along the first direction X. The area on the main body block 332 used to support the battery cover plate 4 is located between the two width limiting blocks 333. The two width limiting blocks 333 can move closer to each other or further away from each other. A fixed limiting block 334 is disposed on the main body block 332. A movable limiting block 335 is disposed on the base plate 331. The movable limiting block 335 can move closer to or further away from the fixed limiting block 334 along the second direction Y. The second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X. The battery cover plate 4 is located within the space jointly defined by the movable limiting block 335, the fixed limiting block 334, and the two width limiting blocks 333.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the width limiting block 333 has a lateral limiting surface 3331 and a vertical limiting surface 3332 on the side facing the battery cover 4. The vertical limiting surface 3332 is inclined towards the battery cover 4. In the first direction X, the end of the vertical limiting surface 3332 closer to the lateral limiting surface 3331 is defined as the lower end, and the end of the vertical limiting surface 3332 farther from the lateral limiting surface 3331 is defined as the higher end. In the vertical direction, the higher end is higher than the lower end. With this configuration, the lateral limiting surface 3331 is used to limit the battery cover 4 in the first direction X, and the vertical limiting surface 3332 is used to limit the battery cover 4 in the vertical direction.

[0030] like Figure 3As shown, the base plate 331 has assembly notches 3311 at both ends in the first direction X. An outwardly extending assembly shaft 3312 is disposed within the assembly notch 3311, and the extension direction of the assembly shaft 3312 is parallel to the first direction X. A transition frame 3313 is slidably mounted on the assembly shaft 3312, and a width limiting block 333 is mounted on the transition frame 3313. A first driving member (not shown in the figure) is disposed on the base plate 331, which drives the transition frame 3313 to slide relative to the assembly shaft 3312. Optionally, the first driving member is a pneumatic finger, used to drive the two transition frames 3313, i.e., the two width limiting blocks 333, to move synchronously towards or away from each other.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the base 31 includes a base plate 311 with two side plates spaced apart on it. A support plate 32 is slidably connected to the side plates. A second driving member 34 is disposed on the base plate 311, which drives the support plate 32 to slide relative to the side plates. In this embodiment, the two side plates provide space for the assembly of the second driving member 34. The support plate 32 is slidably connected to the side plates via a slide rail slider assembly. Optionally, the second driving member 34 is a transmission screw, which is rotatably mounted on the base plate 311 and driven to rotate by a motor mounted on the base plate 311. The screw is threadedly connected to the support plate 32. In some embodiments, the second driving member 34 may also be a cylinder or an electric cylinder.

[0032] like Figure 5 As shown, the riveting structure 2 includes a fixed mounting bracket 21 disposed on the frame 1, and a movable mounting bracket 22 adjustablely disposed on the fixed mounting bracket 21 in the vertical direction; a pressure rod 23 is adjustablely disposed on the fixed mounting bracket 21 or the movable mounting bracket 22 in the longitudinal direction, and a riveting seat 24 is rotatably mounted on the movable mounting bracket 22. The riveting seat 24 is equipped with two riveting heads 25, and the lower end of the pressure rod 23 in the vertical direction passes through the riveting seat 24 and is located between the two riveting heads 25. In this embodiment, the movable mounting bracket 22 is slidably mounted on the fixed mounting bracket 21 via a slide rail slider assembly, and a lead screw (not shown in the figure) is rotatably mounted on the fixed mounting bracket 21. The lead screw is threadedly connected to the movable mounting bracket 22 and is used to drive the movable mounting bracket 22 to move in the vertical direction relative to the fixed mounting bracket 21, so that the riveting heads 25 abut against or disengage from the battery cover plate 4 in the vertical direction. In this embodiment, a bearing seat 231 is mounted on the movable mounting bracket 22, and the pressure rod 23 is slidably connected to the bearing seat 231 through a linear bearing. A drive cylinder 232 is configured on the fixed mounting bracket 21, and the upper end of the pressure rod 23 is mounted on the drive cylinder 232. The drive cylinder 232 is used to drive the pressure rod 23 to move in the vertical direction to abut or disengage from the pole post 42.

[0033] Optionally, such as Figure 6As shown, a hollow rotating platform 221 is configured on the movable mounting frame 22, and the riveting seat 24 is rotatably connected to the movable mounting frame 22 via the hollow rotating platform 221. The hollow rotating platform 221 drives the riveting seat 24 to rotate, thereby realizing the riveting connection between the fixed flange 41 and the pole post 42. It should be noted that the lower end of the pressure rod 23 passes through the hollow rotating platform 221 and reaches the area between the two riveting heads 25.

[0034] In use, the cover plate clamp 33 clamps and fixes the battery cover plate 4, the drive cylinder 232 drives the pressure rod 23 to move downward to fix the terminal post 42 on the battery cover plate 4, and the hollow rotating platform 221 drives the riveting seat 24 to rotate, thereby driving the two riveting heads 25 to perform riveting operations.

[0035] like Figure 7 As shown, the riveting base 24 includes a top plate 241 and two vertical plates 242. The two vertical plates 242 are spaced apart on the lower side of the top plate 241. A wheel axle 251 is disposed on the vertical plate 242, passing through the corresponding vertical plate 242 and threadedly connected to it. The riveting head 25 is rotatably mounted on the inner end of the wheel axle 251 via a deep groove ball bearing 253. A locking nut 252 is disposed on the outer end of the wheel axle 251. In this embodiment, the distance between the inner ends of the two wheel axles 251 can be adjusted by rotating the wheel axle 251, thereby adjusting the distance between the two riveting heads 25 to accommodate the riveting of pole posts 42 of different specifications.
