Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The descriptions of "first", "second", etc. in the present invention are for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implying any number or order of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In the description of the present invention, "a plurality" means at least two, e.g., two, three, etc., unless specifically limited otherwise.
With reference to fig. 2a and 2b, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for press-fitting a battery cell into a case, including the following steps: horizontally pre-pressing the battery cell 100 and the shell 200 to enable the guide area 122 of the top cover 120 of the battery cell 100 to enter the shell 200; and transferring the horizontal pre-press-fitted battery cell 100 and the shell 200, and performing vertical press-fitting, so that the body 121 of the top cover 120 enters the shell 200, and thus the shell press-fitting of the battery cell 100 is completed. Referring to fig. 1, in the embodiment of the present application, a battery cell 100 includes a core 110 and a top cover 120, where the top cover 120 includes a body 121 and a guide region 122 connected to the body 121, and the core 110 is connected to the guide region 122; the housing 200 is typically an aluminum shell.
in the method for press-fitting a battery cell into a casing, the guide area 122 of the top cover 120 and the casing 200 are assembled by horizontal pre-press-fitting, and the top cover 120 is not completely pressed into the casing 200, that is, the body 121 of the top cover 120 does not enter the casing 200, so that the acting force between the casing 200 and the top cover 120 is small, and the phenomenon that the top cover 120 pops up due to a large acting force between the casing 200 and the top cover 120 can be effectively prevented. In addition, the horizontal pre-press mounting mode avoids the assembly of the maximum extrusion force area between the top cover 120 and the shell 200, namely the assembly of the body 121 of the top cover 120 and the shell 200, thereby greatly reducing the condition that the body 121 of the top cover 120 and the shell 200 are damaged due to poor alignment in the horizontal press mounting method in the prior art.
In the method for press-fitting a battery cell into a case according to the embodiment of the present application, after horizontal pre-press-fitting is completed, the pre-assembled battery cell 100 and the pre-assembled case 200 are transferred together and subjected to vertical press-fitting, and it can be understood that in the above-mentioned transfer process, the pre-press-fitting state of the battery cell 100 and the pre-assembled case 200 needs to be maintained. The horizontal pre-pressing assembly completes the assembly of the guide area 122 of the top cover 120 and the shell 200, a certain acting force exists between the top cover 120 and the shell 200, and on the premise of carrying out vertical pressing assembly, the phenomenon that a part of the body 121 of the top cover 120 sinks below the shell opening of the shell 200 due to the self gravity of the battery cell in the vertical pressing assembly method in the prior art can be effectively prevented, so that the condition of high rework rate is avoided, and the pressing assembly efficiency is greatly improved.
The method for press fitting of the battery cell into the shell effectively combines the horizontal pre-press fitting method and the vertical press fitting method, solves the problems that the alignment of the shell opening of the top cover 120 and the shell 200 is poor, the top cover 120 is easy to pop out of the shell 200 and the assembly step between the body 121 of the top cover 120 and the shell 200 exceeds the standard when the battery cell is pressed into the shell, effectively reduces the rework rate of the battery cell 100, improves the excellent rate of the press fitting of the battery cell into the shell, and fundamentally prevents the rejection of the battery cell 100.
In some embodiments, the step of performing horizontal pre-press-fitting on the battery cell 100 and the casing 200 specifically includes: positioning the housing 200; the battery cell 100 is pushed toward the casing 200, and the depth of the battery cell 100 into the casing 200 is defined, so that the guide region 122 of the top cover 120 enters the casing 200. In the horizontal pre-press-fitting process, the casing 200 is in a fixed state, and the battery cell 100 is pushed into the casing 200; in the pushing process of the battery cell 100, the limiting mechanism 340 limits that the battery cell 100 can only be pushed to a preset position in the casing 200; when the battery cell 100 is pushed to the predetermined position, the guide region 122 of the cap 120 is pressed into the casing 200, and the body 121 of the cap 120 does not enter the casing 200. At this time, the purpose of horizontal pre-pressing is achieved. By limiting the depth of the battery cell 100 entering the casing 200, the guide area 122 of the top cover 120 is ensured to completely enter the casing 200, the accuracy of horizontal pre-pressing is increased, a proper acting force is kept between the battery cell 100 and the casing 200, and the phenomena of ejection and poor centering degree of the top cover 120 are avoided.
As can be understood, the method for fixing the housing 200 may be variously selected, and in the embodiment of the present application, the sub-step of positioning the housing 200 specifically includes: adsorbing and positioning the bottom of the shell 200; the side of the housing 200 is clamped in place. The bottom and the side of the casing 200 are positioned, so that the casing 200 can be fixed in the process of pushing the battery cell 100 into the casing 200, and the horizontal pre-press-fitting efficiency is improved. The clamping position of the absorption location of casing 200 bottom and lateral part can cooperate well, on the one hand, the structure with positioning mechanism 320 is complicated when having avoided bottom and lateral part to all adopt the centre gripping location, on the other hand not only can guarantee the fixed of casing 200 to the absorption of casing 200 bottom, can also control the orientation of putting of casing 200 relatively easily, specifically, can fix casing 200 on the bottom plate 3211 of locating plate 321 through adsorbing, the bottom of casing 200 and the curb plate 3212 butt of locating plate 321, more be favorable to casing 200's shell mouth orientation unchangeable, thereby press in casing 200 with electric core 100 smoothly more high-efficiently.
in some embodiments, in the step of pushing the battery cell 100 toward the casing 200, the battery cell 100 is guided so that the body 121 of the top cover 120 is aligned with the opening of the casing 200. The thickness dimension of the body 121 of the top cover 120 is higher than that of the core 110 of the battery cell 100, and in the case that the casing 200 and the battery cell 100 are both laid flat and the casing 200 is fixed, the height difference may cause poor alignment between the body 121 of the top cover 120 and the shell opening of the casing 200 during the process of pushing the battery cell 100 into the casing 200. By guiding the battery cell 100, which may include guiding the core 110 of the battery cell 100 and guiding the top cover 120, the core 110 of the battery cell 100 and the guide region 122 of the top cover 120 can enter the casing 200 more effectively along the guide 350, and the problem that the press-fitting quality is affected due to poor alignment between the body 121 of the top cover 120 and the opening of the casing 200 is avoided.
In some embodiments, in the step of transferring the horizontal pre-press-fitted battery cell 100 and the casing 200 and performing vertical press-fitting, the body 121 of the top cover 120 is limited, so that an end surface of the body 121 of the top cover 120, which is far away from the guide area 122, is flush with a shell opening end surface of the casing 200. In the vertical press-fitting process, a part of the body 121 of the top cover 120 sinks into the housing 200, and the step between the top cover 120 and the housing 200 exceeds the standard after press-fitting, so that the rework rate is high. The body 121 of the top cover 120 is limited during vertical press fitting, so that the end face of the body 121 of the top cover 120, which is far away from the guide area 122, is pressed to the end face of the shell opening of the shell 200, the body 121 of the top cover 120 can be limited from sinking into the shell 200, and therefore no step is generated between the end face of the body 121 of the top cover 120, which is far away from the guide area 122, and the shell opening end face of the shell 200, and the problem of rework is avoided.
The embodiment of the present application further provides a press-fitting system for a battery cell to enter a casing, including: a horizontal pre-press fitting device 300 for inserting the guide region 122 of the top cover 120 of the battery cell 100 into the casing 200, see fig. 3 to 5; the transfer device is used for transferring the horizontal pre-press-fitted battery cell 100 and the shell 200 to vertical press-fitting; and a vertical press-fitting device 400 for inserting the body 121 of the top cover 120 into the housing 200, see fig. 6 and 7.
That is, the horizontal pre-press fitting device 300 only needs to press the guide area 122 of the top cover 120 into the housing 200, the body 121 of the top cover 120 is not pressed into the housing 200, the acting force between the housing 200 and the top cover 120 is small, and the phenomenon that the top cover 120 pops up due to the large acting force between the housing 200 and the top cover 120 can be effectively prevented. In addition, the horizontal pre-press mounting device 300 avoids the assembly of the maximum extrusion force area between the top cover 120 and the housing 200, namely the assembly of the body 121 of the top cover 120 and the housing 200, thereby greatly reducing the condition that the body 121 of the top cover 120 and the housing 200 are damaged due to poor alignment and are scrapped. It can be understood that, in the process of transferring the battery cell 100 and the casing 200 by the transferring device, it is necessary to maintain the pre-press-fitting state of the battery cell 100 and the casing 200 so as to facilitate the vertical press-fitting. The vertical press-fitting device 400 presses the body 121 of the top cover 120 into the casing 200, thereby completing the press-fitting of the battery cell 100. After horizontal pre-press mounting, a certain acting force exists between the top cover 120 and the shell 200, and on the premise of the acting force, when vertical press mounting is performed again, the phenomenon that a part of the body 121 of the top cover 120 sinks below the shell opening of the shell 200 due to the self-gravity of the battery core 100 can be effectively prevented, so that the condition of high rework rate is avoided, and the press mounting efficiency is greatly improved.
The press-fitting system for the battery core to enter the shell comprises a horizontal pre-press-fitting device 300, a transfer device and a vertical press-fitting device 400, and the press-fitting steps of enabling the guide area 122 of the top cover 120 of the battery core 100 to enter the shell 200 and enabling the body 121 of the top cover 120 to enter the shell 200 are successively completed, so that the press-fitting of the battery core to enter the shell can be effectively completed, the stability is good, and the press-fitting efficiency and the battery core goodness are high.
Referring to fig. 3 and 4, in some embodiments, the horizontal pre-press-fitting apparatus 300 includes a base 310, a positioning mechanism 320 for fixing the casing 200, a pushing mechanism 330 for pressing the battery cell 100 into the casing 200, and a limiting mechanism 340 for limiting the depth of the battery cell 100 entering the casing 200, where the positioning mechanism 320 and the pushing mechanism 330 are both mounted on the base 310; the limiting mechanism 340 is mounted on the pushing mechanism 330 to limit the pushing distance of the pushing mechanism 330. It can be understood that the limiting mechanism 340 can limit the movement of the pushing mechanism 330, so that the core 110 of the battery cell 100 and the guide region 122 of the top cover 120 enter the casing 200, and the body 121 of the top cover 120 remains outside the casing 200, thereby implementing the pre-press-fitting of the battery cell 100. By limiting the depth of the battery cell 100 entering the casing 200, the guide area 122 of the top cover 120 is ensured to completely enter the casing 200, the accuracy of horizontal pre-pressing is increased, a proper acting force is kept between the battery cell 100 and the casing 200, and the phenomena of ejection and poor centering degree of the top cover 120 are avoided.
It will be appreciated that the engagement of the limiting mechanism 340 with the pushing mechanism 330 can be in many ways, such as determining the position of the pushing mechanism 330 by detecting the positioning, and controlling the pushing mechanism 330 to stop moving when moving to a preset position. In some embodiments, the pushing mechanism 330 includes a first pushing block (not shown) abutting against the battery cell 100 and a first driving member 332 pushing the first pushing block (not shown) to move, and the limiting mechanism 340 includes a first limiting member 341 mounted on the first driving member 332 to adjust the depth of the battery cell 100 entering the casing 200. Specifically, the first driving member 332 may be a cylinder, and the first limiting member 341 is a stroke adjusting nut installed at the rear of the cylinder. The first pushing block (not shown) is used for abutting against the battery cell 100 and pushing the battery cell 100 to move under the driving of the first driving member 332. The limiting manner is mechanical limiting, the structure of the limiting mechanism 340 and the matching manner of the limiting mechanism 340 and the pushing mechanism 330 can be simplified, and the first limiting member 341 can effectively limit the pushing distance of the cylinder to the battery cell 100, so that the guiding region 122 of the top cover 120 can be more accurately ensured to enter the casing 200, and the body 121 of the top cover 120 is located outside the casing 200.
Referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, the positioning mechanism 320 includes a positioning plate 321 for placing the housing 200 and a suction assembly 322 for positioning the bottom of the housing 200, the suction assembly 322 is mounted on the positioning plate 321, and the positioning plate 321 is mounted on the base 310. That is, the bottom of the case 200 is positioned by the suction member 322 when the case 200 is fixed.
