[0001] This disclosure claims priority to Chinese patent application number 202420687482.1, filed with the Patent Office of China on April 3, 2024, entitled “Pre-pressing device and winding machine,” the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of battery processing equipment, and in particular to a pre-pressing device and a winding machine. Background Art

[0003] After the cylindrical battery cell is wound by a winding machine and formed into a cylindrical battery cell, there is a process of placing the cylindrical battery cell on a pre-pressing device and flattening it by the pre-pressing device. Specifically, the pre-pressing device usually includes an upper pressing plate and a lower pressing plate. When the cylindrical battery cell needs to be flattened, the cylindrical battery cell can first be placed on the lower pressing plate, and then the upper pressing plate is moved in a direction close to the lower pressing plate to clamp the cylindrical battery cell between the upper and lower pressing plates, thereby achieving the purpose of flattening the cylindrical battery cell.

[0004] Considering that there are certain requirements for the pressure that the cylindrical battery cells are subjected to when flattening them, a pressure detection sensor for detecting the pressure borne by the cylindrical battery cells is usually additionally provided on the upper pressure plate. This method will lead to a complex structure of the pre-pressing device on the one hand, and a larger volume of the pre-pressing device on the other hand. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present disclosure provides a pre-pressing device and a winding machine, which have a simple structure and a small size.

[0006] In order to achieve the above objectives, in a first aspect, the present disclosure provides a pre-pressing device, comprising:

[0007] mounting bracket; and

[0008] A pre-stressing assembly is arranged on the mounting frame, and the pre-stressing assembly includes a first extrusion member, a second extrusion member and an extrusion drive assembly, and the extrusion drive assembly is used to drive at least one of the second extrusion member and the first extrusion member to move in a direction close to or away from the other, so as to clamp or release the part to be extruded between the first extrusion member and the second extrusion member, wherein at least one of the first extrusion member and the second extrusion member is a pressure detection sensor, and the pressure detection sensor is used to detect the pressure on the part to be extruded when it is clamped between the first extrusion member and the second extrusion member.

[0010] When the piece to be extruded is clamped between the first extrusion piece and the second extrusion piece, since at least one of the first extrusion piece and the second extrusion piece is a pressure detection sensor, the pressure on the piece to be extruded can be detected by the first extrusion piece and / or the second extrusion piece.

In this way, the first extrusion member or the second extrusion member can replace the pressure detection sensor in the related technology. Therefore, on the one hand, the number of parts of the pre-pressing device can be reduced and the structure of the pre-pressing device can be simplified.

When the pressure on the extrusion piece meets the preset requirements, the extrusion drive component can stop driving at least one of the second extrusion piece and the first extrusion piece to move in a direction close to the other. At the same time, the extrusion drive component can drive at least one of the second extrusion piece and the first extrusion piece to move in a direction away from the other, so that the piece to be extruded is loosened between the first extrusion piece and the second extrusion piece. At this point, the purpose of flattening the piece to be extruded can be achieved.

[0039] Among them, since at least one of the first extrusion member and the second extrusion member is a pressure detection sensor, the first extrusion member and / or the second extrusion member can not only play the role of extruding the member to be extruded, but also play the role of detecting the pressure borne by the member to be extruded. In this way, the first extrusion member or the second extrusion member can replace the pressure detection sensor in the related technology.

[0054] The technical solution of the present disclosure will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and drawings.

[0055] The present disclosure provides a prestressing device 100, see Figure 1, the prestressing device 100 includes a mounting frame 1 and a prestressing assembly 2, wherein the prestressing assembly 2 is arranged on the mounting frame 1, and the prestressing assembly 2 includes a first extrusion member 21, a second extrusion member 22 and an extrusion drive assembly 23, the extrusion drive assembly 23 is used to drive at least one of the second extrusion member 22 and the first extrusion member 21 to move in a direction close to or away from the other, so as to clamp or release the part to be extruded A between the first extrusion member 21 and the second extrusion member 22, wherein at least one of the first extrusion member 21 and the second extrusion member 22 is a pressure detection sensor, and the pressure detection sensor is used to detect the pressure exerted on the part to be extruded A when it is clamped between the first extrusion member 21 and the second extrusion member 22.

[0056] In this embodiment, when the part A to be extruded needs to be flattened, first, the part A to be extruded can be placed between the second extrusion part 22 and the first extrusion part 21. Then, the extrusion drive component 23 can be used to drive at least one of the second extrusion part 22 and the first extrusion part 21 to move in a direction close to the other, so that the part A to be extruded is clamped between the first extrusion part 21 and the second extrusion part 22, and the pressure on the part A to be extruded gradually increases.

[0057] When the piece A to be extruded is clamped between the first extrusion piece 21 and the second extrusion piece 22, since at least one of the first extrusion piece 21 and the second extrusion piece 22 is a pressure detection sensor, the pressure on the piece A to be extruded can be detected by the first extrusion piece 21 and / or the second extrusion piece 22. When the pressure on the extrusion piece A meets the preset requirements, the extrusion drive component 23 can stop driving at least one of the second extrusion piece 22 and the first extrusion piece 21 to move in a direction close to the other. At the same time, the extrusion drive component 23 can drive at least one of the second extrusion piece 22 and the first extrusion piece 21 to move in a direction away from the other, so that the piece A to be extruded is released between the first extrusion piece 21 and the second extrusion piece 22. At this point, the purpose of flattening the piece A to be extruded can be achieved.

[0058] Among them, since at least one of the first extrusion member 21 and the second extrusion member 22 is a pressure detection sensor, the first extrusion member 21 and / or the second extrusion member 22 can not only play the role of extruding the part to be extruded A, but also play the role of detecting the pressure exerted on the part to be extruded A. In this way, the first extrusion member 21 or the second extrusion member 22 can replace the pressure detection sensor in the related technology. Therefore, on the one hand, the number of components of the pre-pressing device 100 can be reduced and the structure of the pre-pressing device 100 can be simplified. On the other hand, the volume of the pre-pressing device 100 can also be reduced.

[0059] The part A to be extruded may be a cylindrical battery cell or other possible components, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0060] In some embodiments, referring to FIG1 , a first extrusion member 21 is fixedly mounted on a mounting frame 1, a second extrusion member 22 is slidably mounted on the mounting frame 1 in a direction approaching or moving away from the first extrusion member 21, an extrusion drive assembly 23 is mounted on the mounting frame 1 and connected to the second extrusion member 22, and is used to drive the second extrusion member 22 to move in a direction approaching or moving away from the first extrusion member 21, wherein the first extrusion member 21 is a pressure detection sensor, and the second extrusion member 22 is a pressure plate.

[0061] Since the first extrusion member 21 is fixedly arranged on the mounting frame 1 and the second extrusion member 22 is slidably arranged on the mounting frame 1 in a direction approaching or moving away from the first extrusion member 21, and since the first extrusion member 21 is a pressure detection sensor and the second extrusion member 22 is a pressure plate, the pressure detection sensor will be fixedly arranged on the mounting frame 1 and the pressure plate will be slidably arranged on the mounting frame 1 in a direction approaching or moving away from the first extrusion member 21. In this way, the pressure detection sensor can be prevented from moving in a direction approaching or moving away from the pressure plate on the basis of being able to clamp or release the extruded member A between the first extrusion member 21 and the second extrusion member 22, thereby avoiding or reducing the possibility of damage to the pressure detection sensor during movement, making the pre-pressing device 100 more durable and more reliable.

[0062] When the second extrusion member 22 is a pressure plate, only the first extrusion member 21 among the first extrusion member 21 and the second extrusion member 22 can be a pressure detection sensor. Compared with the method in which both the first extrusion member 21 and the second extrusion member 22 are pressure detection sensors, the cost of the pre-pressing device 100 can be further reduced on the basis of being able to detect the pressure to be borne by the extruded member A.

[0063] As shown in FIG1 , the pressure sensor may be a plate-type pressure sensor. When the pressure sensor is a plate-type pressure sensor, its shape is more conducive to cooperating with the second extrusion member 22 to compress the part A to be extruded. Of course, the pressure sensor may also be other possible sensors, as long as it can cooperate with the second extrusion member 22 to compress the part A to be extruded and detect the pressure exerted on the part A to be extruded. This embodiment does not limit the pressure sensor.

[0064] It should be noted that, referring to Figure 1, the above-mentioned second extrusion member 22 can be slidably set on the mounting frame 1 along the direction close to or away from the first extrusion member 21 through the slide rail assembly 24, and can also be slidably set on the mounting frame 1 along the direction close to or away from the first extrusion member 21 through other methods. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0065] Considering that after the part A to be extruded is released between the first extrusion part 21 and the second extrusion part 22, the part A to be extruded may stick to the second extrusion part 22, in some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the second extrusion part 22 is provided with a blowing hole 222 for blowing air toward the part A to be extruded.

[0066] By providing the blowing holes 222 , air can be blown toward the part A to be extruded through the blowing holes 222 , thereby preventing the part A to be extruded from adhering to the second extrusion part 22 .

[0067] The shape of the blowing holes 222 can be circular or square, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment. The number of the blowing holes 222 can be multiple, and the multiple blowing holes 222 can be arranged in an array on the second extrusion member 22. In this way, the situation where the extruded part A adheres to the second extrusion member 22 can be better avoided.

[0068] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 1 , the first extrusion member 21 is located below the second extrusion member 22 along the vertical direction (Z-axis direction in FIG. 1 ), and the first extrusion member 21 is also used to support the member A to be extruded.

[0069] By making the first extrusion member 21 be located below the second extrusion member 22 in the vertical direction, when the part A to be extruded needs to be flattened, the part A to be extruded can be placed on the first extrusion member 21. In addition to cooperating with the second extrusion member 22 to extrude the part A to be extruded and detecting the pressure on the part A to be extruded, the first extrusion member 21 can also support the part A to be extruded and provide a placement table for the part A to be extruded. The first extrusion member 21 has multiple uses and is very versatile, which can simplify the structure of the pre-pressing device 100.

[0070] Of course, in other embodiments, the first extrusion member 21 may also be located above the second extrusion member 22 in the vertical direction, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0071] In addition, when the first extrusion member 21 is located below the second extrusion member 22 in the vertical direction, the first extrusion member 21 and the second extrusion member 22 are arranged in the vertical direction. Of course, in other embodiments, the first extrusion member 21 and the second extrusion member 22 can also be arranged in the horizontal direction. This embodiment does not limit the arrangement direction of the first extrusion member 21 and the second extrusion member 22.

[0072] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3 and 4, the extrusion drive assembly 23 includes: an extrusion drive member 231 and a screw mechanism 232, wherein the screw mechanism 232 is arranged on the mounting frame 1, the extrusion drive member 231 is connected to the screw mechanism 232, the screw mechanism 232 is connected to the second extrusion member 22, and the extrusion drive member 231 is used to drive the second extrusion member 22 to move in a direction close to or away from the first extrusion member 21 through the screw mechanism 232.

[0073] Since the screw mechanism 232 is connected to the second extrusion member 22 and the extrusion drive member 231 is connected to the screw mechanism 232, the extrusion drive member 231 can drive the second extrusion member 22 to move in the direction of approaching or moving away from the first extrusion member 21 through the screw mechanism 232, thereby achieving the purpose of clamping or loosening the extruded member A between the first extrusion member 21 and the second extrusion member 22.

[0074] Since the screw mechanism 232 has the ability to convert rotational motion into linear motion, when the extrusion drive member 231 is a motor, the screw mechanism 232 can convert the rotational motion of the motor into linear motion in which the second extrusion member 22 moves toward or away from the first extrusion member 21.

[0075] It can be seen that by setting the screw mechanism 232 between the extrusion drive member 231 and the second extrusion member 22, the extrusion drive member 231 can select a more common motor that outputs rotational motion as the extrusion drive member 231, making the selection of the extrusion drive member 231 relatively simple.

[0076] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3, 4 and 5, the screw mechanism 232 includes: a transmission nut 2321 and a screw rod 2322, wherein the transmission nut 2321 is rotatably arranged on the mounting frame 1, the extrusion drive member 231 is used to drive the transmission nut 2321 to rotate, the screw rod 2322 is threadedly connected to the transmission nut 2321 and extends along the moving direction of the second extrusion member 22 (Z-axis direction in Figure 5), referring to Figures 4 and 5, the second extrusion member 22 is connected to the screw rod 2322 and a stop portion 23221 is provided between the second extrusion member 22 and the screw rod 2322, and the stop portion 23221 is used to prevent the screw rod 2322 from rotating around its own axial direction relative to the second extrusion member 22.

[0077] In this embodiment, since the transmission nut 2321 is rotatably arranged on the mounting frame 1, the screw rod 2322 is threadedly connected to the transmission nut 2321 and extends along the moving direction of the second extruded member 22, the second extruded member 22 is connected to the screw rod 2322 and a stop portion 23221 is provided between the second extruded member 22 and the screw rod 2322, and since the second extruded member 22 is slidably arranged on the mounting frame 1 in the direction approaching or moving away from the first extruded member 21, therefore, when the extrusion driving member 231 drives the transmission nut 2321 to start rotating, under the limiting action of the second extruded member 22 and the stop portion 23221, the screw rod 2322 cannot rotate with the transmission nut 2321, but can only move along the extension direction of the screw rod 2322 (Z-axis direction in Figure 5), thereby driving the second extruded member 22 set on the screw rod 2322 to move along the extension direction of the screw rod 2322, thereby achieving the purpose of driving the second extruded member 22 to move in the direction approaching or moving away from the first extruded member 21.

[0078] Among them, there are many ways to rotatably set the above-mentioned transmission nut 2321 on the mounting frame 1. In one possible implementation method, see Figure 5, a rotating shaft 2323 can be sleeved on the transmission nut 2321, and the rotating shaft 2323 can be rotatably set on the mounting frame 1 through a bearing 2324, thereby achieving the purpose of rotatably setting the transmission nut 2321 on the mounting frame 1.

[0079] Of course, the transmission nut 2321 may also be rotatably disposed on the mounting bracket 1 in other ways, which will not be listed here in this embodiment.

[0080] In addition, there are many ways for the above-mentioned extrusion drive member 231 to drive the transmission nut 2321 to rotate. In one possible implementation method, referring to Figures 3 and 5, a synchronous pulley structure 233 can be provided between the extrusion drive member 231 and the transmission nut 2321, and the extrusion drive member 231 can drive the transmission nut 2321 to rotate through the synchronous pulley structure 233.

[0081] Of course, the extrusion driving member 231 can also drive the driving nut 2321 to rotate in other ways, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0082] It is worth noting that since the second extrusion member 22 is slidably arranged on the mounting frame 1 in a direction close to or away from the first extrusion member 21, and since the screw rod 2322 is threadedly connected to the transmission nut 2321 and extends along the moving direction of the second extrusion member 22, when the installation accuracy of the second extrusion member 22, the screw rod 2322, the transmission nut 2321 or the screw rod 2322 is not high enough, it is easy for the screw rod 2322 to get stuck or the second extrusion member 22 to get stuck. In order to avoid this situation, in some embodiments, see Figure 5, the second extrusion member 22 is floatingly connected to the screw rod 2322.

[0083] By making the second extrusion member 22 and the screw rod 2322 floatingly connected, even if the installation accuracy of the second extrusion member 22, the screw rod 2322, the transmission nut 2321 or the screw rod 2322 is not high enough and causes deviation from the preset position, the positional relationship between the second extrusion member 22 and the screw rod 2322 can be slightly changed to eliminate the position deviation caused by the low installation accuracy, thereby avoiding the screw rod 2322 or the second extrusion member 22 from getting stuck.

[0084] Among them, there are many ways of floating connection between the above-mentioned second extrusion member 22 and the screw rod 2322. In one possible implementation method, see Figure 5, a plug-in structure 23222 is provided at the end of the screw rod 2322, and a limiting cavity 221 is provided on the second extrusion member 22. The plug-in structure 23222 is plugged into the limiting cavity 221 and has a gap between it and the cavity wall of the limiting cavity 221.

[0085] Since the plug-in structure 23222 is plugged into the limiting cavity 221 and has a gap between it and the cavity wall of the limiting cavity 221, the gap between the plug-in structure 23222 and the cavity wall of the limiting cavity 221 can allow the position of the plug-in structure 23222 in the limiting cavity 221 to change slightly, and then the position of the screw rod 2322 relative to the second extrusion component 22 can change slightly, thereby achieving the purpose of floating connection between the second extrusion component 22 and the screw rod 2322.

[0086] Of course, the second extrusion member 22 and the screw rod 2322 may also be connected in a floating manner through other means, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0087] In order to make the plug structure 23222 move more smoothly when the position of the plug structure 23222 in the limiting cavity 221 changes slightly, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5, at least a portion of the surface of the plug structure 23222 is a spherical surface 23222a. By making at least a portion of the surface of the plug structure 23222 a spherical surface 23222a, the spherical surface 23222a can reduce the friction between the plug structure 23222 and the cavity wall of the limiting cavity 221, thereby making the plug structure 23222 move more smoothly when the position of the plug structure 23222 in the limiting cavity 221 changes slightly.

[0088] In some embodiments, referring to FIG4 , a cutting portion is provided on the plug-in structure 23222, and the cavity wall of the limiting cavity 221 matches the cutting portion, forming a rotation-stopping portion 23221. Since the cavity wall of the limiting cavity 221 matches the cutting portion, the cavity wall of the limiting cavity 221 and the cutting portion can together form a structure similar to the cooperation between a limiting pin and a limiting hole, thereby achieving a limiting effect, thereby preventing the screw rod 2322 from rotating about its own axis relative to the second extruded member 22.

[0089] When the cutting portion forms the stop portion 23221, the cutting portion can be manufactured by only cutting material on the plug-in structure 23222 without adding a new structure, so that the structure of the stop portion 23221 is simple, thereby achieving the effect of reducing the manufacturing cost of the stop portion 23221.

[0090] Of course, the anti-rotation portion 23221 may also have other possible structures, and this embodiment does not limit the anti-rotation portion 23221.

[0091] In some embodiments, referring to FIG1 , a mounting frame 1 includes a first mounting member 11, a second mounting member 12, and a connecting member 13. The second mounting member 12 is spaced apart from the first mounting member 11 along the direction of movement of the first extrusion member 21 or the second extrusion member 22 (the Z-axis direction in FIG1 ). The connecting member 13 is disposed between the first mounting member 11 and the second mounting member 12 and is connected to the first mounting member 11 and the second mounting member 12, respectively. The first extrusion member 21 and the second extrusion member 22 are both located between the first mounting member 11 and the second mounting member 12.

[0092] Since the first extrusion member 21 and the second extrusion member 22 are both located between the first mounting member 11 and the second mounting member 12, the first extrusion member 21 and the second extrusion member 22 will be wrapped in the space formed by the first mounting member 11 and the second mounting member 12. This arrangement can make the environment in which the first extrusion member 21 and the second extrusion member 22 are located more closed and less susceptible to external influences, and can reduce or even avoid the possibility of interference with other external components during the movement of the first extrusion member 21 and the second extrusion member 22, thereby making the operation of the pre-pressing device 100 more reliable.

[0093] Among them, the above-mentioned first mounting member 11 and the second mounting member 12 can both be mounting plates, and the above-mentioned connecting member 13 can be a connecting rod. The number of connecting rods can be four, five or six, etc. This embodiment does not limit the structure of the first mounting member 11, the second mounting member 12 and the connecting member 13, nor the number of the connecting members 13.

[0094] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3 and 6, the pre-pressing device 100 further includes: a conveying assembly 3, which is used to convey the part A to be extruded to between the first extrusion part 21 and the second extrusion part 22, and the conveying assembly 3 is also used to move the part A to be extruded away after the part A to be extruded is released between the first extrusion part 21 and the second extrusion part 22.

[0095] By setting up the conveying component 3, the conveying component 3 can automatically convey the part A to be extruded between the first extrusion part 21 and the second extrusion part 22, and move the part A to be extruded away after the part A to be extruded is released between the first extrusion part 21 and the second extrusion part 22, so that the degree of automation of the pre-pressing device 100 is higher, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the labor intensity of personnel.

[0096] There are many ways to implement the above-mentioned conveying component 3. In a first possible implementation, the above-mentioned conveying component 3 can be a conveying robot. In a second possible implementation, referring to Figure 6, the conveying component 3 includes: a conveying drive member 31 and a conveyor belt 32, wherein the conveying drive member 31 is connected to the conveyor belt 32, and part of the structure of the conveyor belt 32 is located between the first extrusion member 21 and the second extrusion member 22. The conveying drive member 31 is used to drive the conveyor belt 32 to convey the part A to be extruded to between the first extrusion member 21 and the second extrusion member 22. The conveying drive member 31 is also used to continue to drive the conveyor belt 32 to convey after the part A to be extruded is released between the first extrusion member 21 and the second extrusion member 22, so as to move the part A to be extruded away.

[0097] When the transport assembly 3 includes a transport drive member 31 and a conveyor belt 32, the purpose of transporting the part A to be extruded to between the first extrusion member 21 and the second extrusion member 22 and moving the part A to be extruded away from between the first extrusion member 21 and the second extrusion member 22 can be achieved by rotating the conveyor belt 32. This method is low-cost and reliable in operation. Therefore, the cost of the pre-pressing device 100 can be reduced while ensuring the reliability of the operation of the pre-pressing device 100.

[0098] Among them, the above-mentioned transmission drive component 31 can be a structure composed of a drive roller and a motor, the motor is connected to the drive roller, and the conveyor belt 32 is sleeved on the drive roller. Of course, the transmission drive component 31 can also be other possible structures, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0099] To improve the efficiency of the pre-pressing device 100 in flattening the workpiece A, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG3 , a plurality of pre-pressing assemblies 2 are provided, and the plurality of pre-pressing assemblies 2 are arranged in an array and spaced apart on the mounting frame 1. By providing a plurality of pre-pressing assemblies 2, the plurality of pre-pressing assemblies 2 can simultaneously flatten the workpiece A, thereby improving the efficiency of the pre-pressing device 100 in flattening the workpiece A.

[0100] The number of the pre-pressing components 2 can be two, three or four, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0101] The present disclosure further provides a winding machine 200 . Referring to FIG. 7 , the winding machine 200 includes a pre-pressing device 100 .

[0102] Among them, the structure of the pre-pressing device 100 can be the same as the structure of the pre-pressing device 100 described in any of the above embodiments, and can bring the same or similar beneficial effects. For details, please refer to the description of the pre-pressing device 100 in the above embodiments, which will not be repeated in this embodiment.

[0103] In this embodiment, since the pre-pressing device 100 has a simple structure and a small size, when the winding machine 200 includes the pre-pressing device 100 , the winding machine 200 can have a simple structure and a small size.

[0104] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present disclosure, rather than to limit them. Although the present disclosure has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents.
