By setting a bottom support mechanism, the third cylinder on the control panel is operated. Under the action of the third cylinder, the support plate is moved to the bottom of the flexible board on the surface of the battery cell. The support plate supports the flexible board.

[0016] The present invention provides a flexible circuit board bending mechanism for battery cell production, the structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the device includes a frame 1, with an operating platform 12 positioned below it. The frame 1 is mounted on the surface of the operating platform 12, and a turntable 11 is mounted on its surface. The turntable 11 and the surface of the operating platform 12 rotate in relation to each other. The device also includes a PLC controller. A feeding module 14 is mounted on the surface of the operating platform 12 for feeding battery cells. Multiple feeding plates 15 are mounted on the surface of the turntable 11, arranged around its circumference. The battery cells are placed on the feeding plates 15. Multiple clamping cylinders 16 are mounted on the surface of the turntable 11, and their inputs are electrically connected to the output of the PLC controller. Clamping cylinders 16 are located on one side of the feeding plate 15. The output end of the clamping cylinder 16 is in contact with the surface of the battery cell. A CCD camera 101 is mounted on the surface of the mechanism frame 1 by screws. The output end of the CCD camera 101 is electrically connected to the input end of the PLC controller. A guide plate 102 is mounted on the surface of the operating table 12. The guide plate 102 slides and engages with the surface of the mechanism frame 1. A cylinder push plate 103 is mounted on the bottom of the operating table 12. The input end of the cylinder push plate 103 is electrically connected to the output end of the PLC controller.

[0017] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a high-efficiency bending mechanism 2 is provided on the surface of the frame 1. This high-efficiency bending mechanism 2 is used for bending the flexible circuit board on the surface of the battery cell. The high-efficiency bending mechanism 2 consists of a first cylinder 21, a moving frame 22, a bending roller 23, a connecting plate 24, a flexible buffer assembly 25, and a fixed frame 26. The first cylinder 21 is installed on the surface of the top position of the frame 1. The first cylinder 21 can be of the SC series. The input end of the first cylinder 21 is electrically connected to the output end of the PLC controller. The moving frame 22 is provided on the surface of the frame 1. The moving frame 22 slides and engages with the surface of the frame 1. The output end of the first cylinder 21 is fixed to the surface of the moving frame 22. The fixed frame 26 is installed on the surface of the moving frame 22. The connecting plate 24 is provided below the fixed frame 26. The flexible buffer assembly 25 is installed on the surface of the fixed frame 26. The flexible buffer assembly 25 engages with the connecting plate 24. The bending roller 23 is provided on the surface of the connecting plate 24. The bending roller 23 rotates and engages with the surface of the connecting plate 24.
[0018] During implementation, the first cylinder 21 on the surface of the control mechanism frame 1 operates, driving the moving frame 22 to move downwards. When the moving frame 22 moves, it drives the fixed frame 26, the flexible buffer assembly 25, the connecting plate 24, and the bending roller 23 to move downwards, so that the surface of the bending roller 23 moves to contact the surface of the flexible circuit board on the surface of the battery cell. Subsequently, the PLC controller controls the cylinder push plate 103 to operate, driving the mechanism frame 1 to move away from the turntable 11 on the surface of the guide plate 102. When the mechanism frame 1 moves, it drives the bending roller 23 to rotate on the surface of the connecting plate 24. Under the action of the bending roller 23, the flexible circuit board on the surface of the battery cell is bent, so as to realize the function of efficient bending of the flexible circuit board bending mechanism.
[0019] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the surface of the operating table 12 is provided with a bottom support mechanism 3, which is used to support the flexible circuit board on the surface of the battery cell. The bottom support mechanism 3 consists of a second cylinder 31, a support frame 32, a support plate 33, a moving plate 34, and a third cylinder 35. The third cylinder 35 is mounted on the surface of the operating table 12. The model of the third cylinder 35 can be SC series. The input end of the third cylinder 35 is electrically connected to the output end of the PLC controller. The moving plate 34 is provided above the operating table 12. The output end of the third cylinder 35 is fixed to the surface of the moving plate 34. The support plate 33 is mounted on the surface of the moving plate 34. The second cylinder 31 is mounted on the surface of the operating table 12. The model of the second cylinder 31 can be SC series. The input end of the second cylinder 31 is electrically connected to the output end of the PLC controller. The output end of the second cylinder 31 is mounted with the support frame 32. The surface of the support frame 32 is in contact with the surface of the bottom position of the support plate 33.
[0020] During implementation, the third cylinder 35 on the surface of the control console 12 is activated. Under the action of the third cylinder 35, the support plate 33 is moved to the bottom of the flexible board on the surface of the battery cell. The support plate 33 supports the flexible board. The PLC controller controls the second cylinder 31 to work. Under the action of the second cylinder 31, the support frame 32 is moved upward. The support frame 32 supports the bottom of the support plate 33, ensuring the path of the high-efficiency bending mechanism 2 when bending the flexible board on the surface of the battery cell, so as to realize the function of the flexible board bending mechanism supporting the bottom of the flexible board.
[0021] Working Principle: In use, the frame 1 is first placed in the designated position. The battery cell is conveyed by the conveyor line 13 to the designated position of the loading module 14. Because the surface of the loading module 14 is equipped with a laser positioning sensor, it can accurately position the battery cell. After receiving the signal from the laser positioning sensor, the PLC controller automatically controls the loading module 14 to operate. Under the action of the loading module 14, the battery cell on the surface of the conveyor line 13 is picked up and placed on the surface of the feeding plate 19 on the turntable 11. Subsequently, the PLC controller controls the clamping cylinder 18 to operate, clamping the battery cell on the surface of the feeding plate 19. The turntable 11 drives the battery cell to one side of the frame 1. Under the action of the CCD camera 101, the battery cell is first... After taking a picture, the PLC controller controls the third cylinder 35 on the surface of the operating table 12 to work. Under the action of the third cylinder 35, the support plate 33 moves to the bottom of the flexible board on the surface of the battery cell. Under the action of the support plate 33, the flexible board can be supported. The PLC controller controls the second cylinder 31 to work. Under the action of the second cylinder 31, the support frame 32 moves upward. Under the action of the support frame 32, the bottom of the support plate 33 is supported. This ensures the path of the high-efficiency bending mechanism 2 when bending the flexible board on the surface of the battery cell, so as to realize the function of the flexible board bending mechanism supporting the bottom of the flexible board. This makes the flexible board bending mechanism able to support the bottom of the flexible board on the surface of the battery cell when in use, so that the flexible board bending mechanism can achieve better results when bending the flexible board on the surface of the battery cell.
[0022] Subsequently, the PLC controller controls the first cylinder 21 on the surface of the frame 1 to operate. Under the action of the first cylinder 21, the moving frame 22 moves downward. When the moving frame 22 moves, it drives the fixed frame 26, the flexible buffer assembly 25, the connecting plate 24, and the bending roller 23 to move downward, so that the surface of the bending roller 23 moves to contact the surface of the flexible circuit board on the surface of the battery cell. Then, the PLC controller controls the cylinder push plate 103 to operate. Under the action of the cylinder push plate 103, the frame 1 moves away from the turntable 11 on the surface of the guide plate 102. When the frame 1 moves, the frame 1 drives the bending roller 23 to rotate on the surface of the connecting plate 24. Under the action of the bending roller 23, the flexible circuit board on the surface of the battery cell is bent to achieve the function of efficient bending of the flexible circuit board bending mechanism. This ensures the bending effect of the flexible circuit board on the surface of the battery cell when the flexible circuit board bending mechanism is used, making the flexible circuit board bending mechanism more efficient and practical in use, and finally completing the use of the flexible circuit board bending mechanism.
