And the pole ear position end face of the positive pole and the pole ear position end face of the negative pole are arranged oppositely along the axial direction of the battery core. The tab position end face needs to be welded with the current collecting plate so that the current of the battery can be output from the current collecting plate.

For a better understanding of the present invention, embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to fig. 1 to 9.
Referring to fig. 1, a cylindrical battery cell 100 has two end faces 101 axially opposite to each other. The battery cell 100 may be a cylindrical battery cell. Referring to fig. 2 and fig. 3, an embodiment of the present invention provides a cell end surface shaping device 1, which is used for kneading an end surface 101 of a flat cell 100. With the cell end surface shaping device 1 of the present embodiment, the end surface 101 of the cell 100 may be kneaded to be flat in advance. The end surface 101 of the battery cell 100 becomes flat and regular after being kneaded and flattened. And then, the end face 101 of the battery core 100 is welded and connected with the current collecting plate, so that the smooth installation of the battery core into a battery shell is favorably ensured, and meanwhile, the large welding area of the end face 101 of the battery core 100 and the current collecting plate is favorably ensured, the welding strength is improved, and the resistance of the battery core is reduced.
Referring to fig. 2 and fig. 3, a cell end face reshaping device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a base 10 and a reshaping component 20. Base 10 provides a mounting support platform for orthopedic assembly 20. The fairing assembly 20 includes a drive shaft 21 and a flattening member 22. The transmission shaft 21 is rotatably connected to the base 10, that is, the transmission shaft 21 is connected to the base 10 and can rotate relative to the base 10 when driven by an external force. The drive shaft 21 has a first end surface 211 and a second end surface 212 which are arranged opposite to each other in the axial direction X thereof, and an air suction passage 213 which extends through the first end surface 211 and the second end surface 212. The kneading member 22 is provided on the first end surface 211. The transmission shaft 21 is used for driving the kneading component 22 to rotate along the circumferential direction Y of the transmission shaft 21 so as to knead the end surface 101 of the flat battery core 100. The kneading member 22 has a kneading surface 221 a. In the kneading and flattening process, the battery cell 100 is held by a jig. The jig or the cell end surface shaping device 1 is moved in the axial direction X of the transmission shaft 21 so that the end surface 101 of the cell 100 gradually approaches the flattening member 22 and finally comes into contact with the rotating flattening member 22. When the flattening member 22 rotates, the flattening member 22 can flatten the end surface 101 of the roll piezoelectric core 100 by the flattening surface 221 a. The suction passage 213 is located inside the drive shaft 21. The pumping channel 213 has an inlet port 213a and an outlet port 213 b. The air inlet 213a is disposed on the first end surface 211, and the air outlet 213b is disposed on the second end surface 212. The air inlet 213a of the suction passage 213 is provided near the kneading flat member 22, but does not contact the kneading flat member 22. When the transmission shaft 21 drives the kneading and flattening part 22 to rotate synchronously, air can be sucked from the air inlet 213a through the air suction channel 213 and then discharged from the air outlet 213b, so that negative pressure is generated in the region of the kneading and flattening part 22.
The cell end face shaping device 1 of the embodiment of the present invention includes a flattening member 22 that can rotate synchronously with the transmission shaft 21. The end surface 101 of the battery cell 100 is flattened by the flattening member 22. Since the drive shaft 21 itself has the suction channel 213, air can be sucked from the space area near the kneading flat parts 22 through the suction channel 213 to generate a negative pressure near the kneading flat parts 22. Like this, when battery core terminal surface shaping device 1 carries out to rub and level the shape action, can in time, fast and effectively take out the metal piece from rubbing the flat station through air exhaust channel 213 on transmission shaft 21 simultaneously to this reduces the possibility that the metal piece freely scatters, thereby reduces to lead to electric core physics from discharging to increase because of the metal piece is handled untimely, even gets into inside the electric core and arouses positive plate and negative pole piece short circuit, perhaps scatters inside the equipment, leads to cross contamination's possibility. The cell end face shaping device 1 provided by the embodiment of the invention can realize synchronous implementation of the kneading and flattening process and the dust removal process. The cell end face shaping device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention can more effectively reduce the possibility that metal chips are scattered freely or enter the interior of the battery cell 100, compared to a mode in which the flattening step and the dust removal step are performed sequentially in the front-rear order and a mode in which a stationary side dust removal pipe is provided near the flattening member 22.
In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 2, the base 10 includes a horizontal support 11 and a vertical support 12. The horizontal bracket 11 is detachably connected with the vertical bracket 12. The horizontal support 11 provides the mounting base. The base 10 may be mounted to other mounting platforms by horizontal brackets 11. In one example, the vertical support 12 includes a bearing mount and a bearing disposed on the bearing mount. The transmission shaft 21 is connected with the bearing sleeve. The drive shaft 21 is connected to the bearing housing by a bearing. The bearing can be a rolling bearing or a sliding bearing.
In one embodiment, the number of flattening elements 22 may be one. When the transmission shaft 21 drives the flattening member 22 to rotate synchronously, the flattening surface 221a of the flattening member 22 sequentially rolls the whole end surface 101 of the battery core 100. As shown in fig. 2, the number of the flattening members 22 may be two or more, and the two or more flattening members 22 are provided uniformly on the first end surface 211 in the circumferential direction Y of the propeller shaft 21. When the transmission shaft 21 drives the flattening members 22 to rotate synchronously, the flattening surfaces 221a of the flattening members 22 roll the entire end surface 101 of the battery core 100 together.
In one embodiment, the pumping channel 213 includes a tapered bore section proximate the inlet port 213a and a straight bore section proximate the outlet port 213 b. The larger diameter opening of the conical bore section forms the inlet opening 213a, while the smaller diameter opening is connected to the straight bore section.
In one embodiment, the number of the air inlets 213a may be one. The center of the air inlet 213a coincides with the center of the drive shaft 21, thereby being advantageous to ensure uniformity of flow velocity and flow rate of the air flow in each direction. In one example, at least part of the orthographic projection of the flattening member 22 is located inside the orthographic projection of the air inlet 213a along the axial direction X of the drive shaft 21, so that the air inlet 213a can effectively draw air from the area near the flattening member 22 and can effectively draw metal chips away from the flattening station. The diameter of the air inlet 213a is larger than that of the end surface 101 of the battery cell 100, so that the suction range can be increased, and metal debris on the periphery of the end surface 101 of the battery cell 100 can be effectively sucked away. In another example, the air inlet 213a and the kneading flat part 22 are arranged offset in the axial direction X of the transmission shaft 21, that is, there is no overlapping area between the air inlet 213a and the kneading flat part 22 in the axial direction X of the transmission shaft 21. The kneading member 22 does not block the air inlet 213a in the axial direction X of the drive shaft 21.
In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 2 or fig. 3, the number of the air inlets 213a may be two or more. The two or more air inlets 213a are uniformly provided in the first end surface 211 along the circumferential direction Y of the propeller shaft 21. The two or more air inlets 213a can simultaneously extract the metal chips in the vicinity of the corresponding kneading and flattening members 22, which is advantageous for increasing the extraction range and improving the work efficiency of extracting the metal chips. In one example, the number of the flattening members 22 may be two or more. The air inlets 213a and the corresponding flattening members 22 are provided at intervals in the axial direction X of the transmission shaft 21 so that a gap is provided therebetween. Alternatively, the air inlet 213a and the kneading member 22 are disposed in a staggered manner along the axial direction X of the transmission shaft 21, that is, there is no overlapping area between the air inlet 213a and the kneading member 22 along the axial direction X of the transmission shaft 21. The kneading member 22 does not block the air inlet 213a in the axial direction X of the drive shaft 21. Alternatively, one or more than two air inlets 213a are correspondingly arranged between two adjacent kneading flat parts 22.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 4, the fairing assembly 20 also includes a vent tube body 23. The breather pipe body 23 is provided on the first end surface 211 and communicates with the intake port 213 a. Air from the area of the flattening station can pass through the breather tube body 23 into the suction channel 213. The breather tube body 23 is disposed to protrude from the first end surface 211 so that the breather tube body 23 can be closer to the kneading member 22. In the flattening process, the vent tube body 23 may be closer to the end surface 101 of the battery cell 100, so that air can be directly sucked and metal debris can be sucked away in an area closer to the end surface 101 of the battery cell 100. In one example, when the end surface 101 of the battery cell 100 is in the flat-kneading station, the distance between the vent tube body 23 and the end surface 101 of the battery cell 100 is kept between 2mm and 10 mm. Thus, after the vent pipe body 23 is arranged, the shaping assembly 20 can more quickly and efficiently draw out the metal scraps falling off from the end surface 101 of the battery cell 100 to rub the flat station, which is beneficial to further reducing the possibility that the metal scraps are scattered freely or enter the interior of the battery cell. The breather pipe body 23 is detachably connected to the transmission shaft 21, so that later-period replacement and maintenance are facilitated. Alternatively, the breather tube body 23 is directly threadedly connected to the drive shaft 21. Alternatively, the breather tube body 23 may be attached to the drive shaft 21 by screws. In one example, the end of the breather tube body 23 near the first end face 211 is in sealing engagement with the drive shaft 21, reducing the likelihood of air leakage between the end of the breather tube body 23 near the first end face 211 and the drive shaft 21, which can lead to poor pumping. In one example, referring to FIG. 5, the section of the vent tube body 23 distal from the first end surface 211 is flat. In one example, the vent tube body 23 is an insulating structure. The material of the vent body 23 may be an insulating material such as rubber, plastic or silicone.
In one embodiment, the pumping channel 213 has an inlet port 213a, and the breather tube body 23 has a main tube and a plurality of branch tubes. A plurality of branch pipelines all are connected with the trunk line. The main pipe of the breather pipe body 23 is connected to the transmission shaft 21 and is disposed corresponding to the air inlet 213 a. Air in the area of the kneading and flattening station can enter the main pipeline from the branch pipeline and then enter the air suction channel 213. The branch pipes are arranged offset from the kneading members 22 in the axial direction X of the drive shaft 21, i.e., there is no overlapping area between the branch pipes and the kneading members 22 in the axial direction X of the drive shaft 21. The kneading member 22 does not block the orifice of the branch pipe in the axial direction X of the drive shaft 21. In one example, the number of the flattening members 22 is two or more. One or more than two branch pipes are correspondingly arranged between two adjacent kneading flat parts 22. In another embodiment, the suction passage 213 has more than two air inlets 213a, and the main pipe of the breather tube body 23 communicates with all the air inlets 213a at the same time.
In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the pumping channel 213 has an inlet 213a, and the vent tube body 23 is a single tube structure. In one example, the orifices of the vent tube bodies 23 and the corresponding flattening members 22 are spaced apart in the axial direction X of the drive shaft 21 so that there is a gap between the orifices of the vent tube bodies 23 and the corresponding flattening members 22. In the axial direction X of the drive shaft 21, at least part of the orthographic projection of the flattening member 22 is located inside the orthographic projection of the orifice of the breather tube body 23. In another example, the breather pipe body 23 and the flattening member 22 are arranged in a staggered manner along the axial direction X of the transmission shaft 21, that is, there is no overlapping area between the breather pipe body 23 and the flattening member 22 along the axial direction X of the transmission shaft 21. The kneading member 22 does not block the orifice of the breather pipe body 23 in the axial direction X of the drive shaft 21. In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the pumping channel 213 has more than two inlets 213 a. The number and positions of the breather pipe bodies 23 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the number and positions of the intake ports 213 a. In one example, referring to fig. 6, each vent tube body 23 is offset from the flattening member 22 along the axial direction X of the transmission shaft 21, i.e., there is no overlapping area between the vent tube body 23 and the flattening member 22 along the axial direction X of the transmission shaft 21. The kneading member 22 does not block the orifice of the breather pipe body 23 in the axial direction X of the drive shaft 21. In one example, the number of the flattening members 22 is two or more. One or more than two vent pipe bodies 23 are correspondingly arranged between two adjacent kneading and flattening components 22.
In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 7, fairing assembly 20 also includes a mount 24. The mount 24 is attached to the first end surface 211. The kneading member 22 is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 24. The kneading member 22 has a connecting shaft 222. The connecting shaft 222 is connected to the mount 24 through a bearing. After the transmission shaft 21 drives the flattening component 22 to rotate and the flattening component 22 contacts with the end surface 101 of the battery cell 100, the flattening component 22 can rotate around the axis of the connection shaft 222, so that the friction resistance between the flattening surface 221a of the flattening component 22 and the end surface 101 of the battery cell 100 can be reduced, the scraping force of the flattening component 22 on the end surface 101 of the battery cell 100 can be reduced, and the flatness of the end surface 101 of the battery cell 100 can be improved. In one example, the axis of the connecting shaft 222 intersects the axis of the drive shaft 21 and the angle therebetween is acute. In one example, the mount 24 is slidably coupled to the first end surface 211 in a radial direction of the drive shaft 21. After the end surface 101 of the battery cell 100 is flattened by the flattening member 22, the entire mounting seat 24 may be slid outward away from the axis of the transmission shaft 21, so that the flattening member 22 gives way to the end surface 101 of the battery cell 100. The end surface 101 of the battery cell 100 may be in contact with the first end surface 211 of the transmission shaft 21. When the transmission shaft 21 rotates, the end surface 101 of the battery cell 100 may be rubbed and rolled by the first end surface 211, which is beneficial to further improving the flatness of the end surface 101 of the battery cell 100. In one example, the first end surface 211 of the drive shaft 21 is provided with a recess, while the mounting seat 24 is provided with a protrusion having a shape matching the recess. The mounting seat 24 is slidably connected to the recess of the drive shaft 21 by a protrusion.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 7, the kneading member 22 includes a tapered kneading roller body 221.
