[0017] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, further illustrating the present invention.

[0018] First, combine Figures 1-4 This invention describes an automatic chamfering fixture for sheet-type electrodes according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is used for chamfering of sheet-type electrodes and has a wide range of applications.

[0019] like Figures 1-4 As shown, an automatic chamfering fixture for a plate-type electrode tab according to an embodiment of the present invention has a frame 100, a chamfering block 200, an alignment module, and a chamfering module.

[0020] Specifically, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, a platform 101 is provided on the frame 100, and a mounting slot 102 is provided on the platform 101.

[0021] Specifically, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the chamfering block 200 is set on the mounting groove 102 for placing the tab to be chamfered.

[0022] Specifically, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the alignment module is mounted on the frame 100 and is used to align and position the tabs on the chamfered block 200. The alignment module includes: four alignment holes 301, a lifting unit, an alignment unit 303, and four alignment components 304. The four alignment holes 301 pass through the mounting slot 102 and the chamfered block 200; the lifting unit is mounted on the frame 100 and provides the lifting driving force; the alignment unit 303 is located at the output end of the lifting unit; the four alignment components 304 are located at the output end of the alignment unit 303 and are respectively positioned opposite the four alignment holes 301, moving closer or further apart under the action of the alignment unit 303. Specifically, by controlling the operation of the lifting unit, the alignment unit 303 and the four alignment components 304 can be driven to lift. The four alignment components 304 pass through the four alignment holes 301, and then the alignment unit 303 drives the four alignment components 304 to move closer together, thereby aligning and positioning the tabs to be chamfered on the chamfered block 200.

[0023] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-4As shown, the lifting unit includes a lifting cylinder 3021, a lifting platform 3022, and a pair of first guide posts 3023. The lifting cylinder 3021 is mounted on the frame 100; the lifting platform 3022 is connected to the output end of the lifting cylinder 3021 and is connected to the alignment unit 303; the bottom ends of the pair of first guide posts 3023 are both connected to the frame 100, and the top ends of the pair of first guide posts 3023 both penetrate the lifting platform 3022. When the lifting cylinder 3021 operates, it can drive the lifting platform 3022 to lift. The pair of first guide posts 3023 are used to guide the lifting operation of the lifting platform 3022.

[0024] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the unit 303 is a four-jaw clamping cylinder.

[0025] Specifically, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, a chamfering module is mounted on the frame 100 and is used to chamfer the tabs after they have been aligned and positioned by the alignment module. The chamfering module includes: four chamfering holes 401, a pressing unit 402, a pressing block 403, four chamfering pieces 404, and a pair of second guide posts 405. The four chamfering holes 401 pass through the mounting groove 102 and the chamfering block 200; the pressing unit 402 is mounted on the frame 100 and provides the driving force for pressing down; the pressing unit 402 is a pressing cylinder; the pressing block 403 is located at the output end of the pressing unit 402; the four chamfering pieces 404 are located at the bottom of the pressing block 403 and are respectively opposite to the four chamfering holes 401; the bottom ends of the pair of second guide posts 405 are connected to the platform 101, and the top ends of the pair of second guide posts 405 pass through the pressing block 403. The operation of the control pressing unit 402 can drive the pressing block 403 and the four chamfering parts 404 to move closer to the tab on the chamfering block 200 for punching, thereby achieving the chamfering of the tab.

[0026] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the chamfering module also includes: two bolts 406, a plate 407, and two springs 408. The bottom ends of the two bolts 406 pass through the lower pressure block 403; the plate 407 is connected to the two bolts 406 and is fitted onto the four chamfering pieces 404; the two springs 408 are respectively fitted onto the two bolts 406 and are located between the lower pressure block 403 and the plate 407. The springs 408 serve to relieve force, because under the action of the lower pressure unit 402, the chamfering pieces 404 and the plate 407 are pressed down together to complete the punching. When the chamfering pieces 404 and the plate 407 are lifted, the springs prevent the product from being lifted up by the chamfering pieces 404.

[0027] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-4As shown, an automatic chamfering fixture for a plate-type electrode tab according to an embodiment of this utility model further includes: a moving module connected to a frame 100, driving the frame 100 to move. The moving module includes: a pair of slide rails 501, a pair of sliders 502, and a telescopic cylinder 503. The pair of slide rails 501 are disposed at the bottom of the frame 100 and installed at a designated location on an external production line; the pair of sliders 502 are disposed at the bottom of the frame 100 and slidably connected to the pair of slide rails 501; the output end of the telescopic cylinder 503 is connected to the frame 100. By controlling the operation of the telescopic cylinder 503, the frame 100 can be moved under the action of the pair of sliders 502 and the pair of slide rails 501, thereby receiving the electrode tab when it is delivered by an external robot, preventing interference between the robot and the fixture due to lack of displacement and avoidance.

[0028] Tooling principle: An external robotic arm grasps the electrode tabs, and a telescopic cylinder 503 is controlled to move the frame 100. The frame 100 receives the electrode tabs from the robotic arm and places them onto the chamfering block 200. A lifting unit is then controlled to lift the alignment unit 303 and four alignment components 304. The four alignment components 304 pass through four alignment holes 301, and then the alignment unit 303 drives the four alignment components 304 to move closer together, thus aligning and positioning the electrode tabs to be chamfered on the chamfering block 200. Then, a pressing unit 402 is controlled to move the pressing block 403 and the four chamfering components 404 toward the electrode tabs on the chamfering block 200 to punch and achieve the chamfering of the electrode tabs.

[0029] Above, refer to Figures 1-4 This invention describes an automatic chamfering fixture for plate-type tabs according to an embodiment of the present invention. It can be integrated into an automated production line to automatically complete the chamfering operation, saving labor, increasing efficiency, and improving product consistency.
