In the stacking process, if the surface of the replacement battery piece is provided with the main grid line, the disassembling end welding strip of the first disassembled battery string and the disassembling end welding strip of the second disassembled battery string are required to be respectively stacked on the main grid line on the corresponding surface. If the surface of the replacement battery piece is not provided with the main grid line, the disassembling end welding strips of the first disassembling battery string and the disassembling end welding strips of the second disassembling battery string are respectively overlapped at preset welding positions on the corresponding surface.
For a to-be-repaired battery string formed by welding back-connected (IBC) battery pieces, when the to-be-repaired battery string is fed onto the welding platform 20, the to-be-repaired battery string is upward in back face; the welding strip traction mechanism 30, the battery piece feeding mechanism 50 and the welding platform 20 complete the stacking of the first disassembling end welding strip of the disassembled battery string, the second disassembling end welding strip of the disassembled battery string and the replacement battery piece according to the following processes:
Similarly, in the initial state, the first side welding stage 22 and the second side welding stage 23 are both away from the intermediate welding stage 21. The first disassembled battery string is borne on the first side welding table 22, the disassembled end welding strip of the first disassembled battery string extends out of the first side welding table 22, the second disassembled battery string is borne on the second side welding table 23, and the disassembled end welding strip of the second disassembled battery string extends out of the second side welding table 23.
Before the stacking operation, the first side welding table 22 and the second side welding table 23 are controlled to be lifted to the high position, and then the first welding belt traction mechanism 31 and the second welding belt traction mechanism 32 are controlled to traction the disassembling end welding belt of the first disassembled battery string and the disassembling end welding belt of the second disassembled battery string.
Of course, after controlling the first and second strap pulling mechanisms 31 and 32 to pull the disassembly end strap of the first disassembled battery string and the disassembly end strap of the second disassembled battery string, the first and second side welding stages 22 and 23 may be controlled to be raised to the high position.
And (3) performing stacking operation:
the battery piece feeding mechanism 50 is controlled to feed the replacement battery piece onto the intermediate welding table 21, and ensure that the back of the replacement battery piece faces upward.
Next, the first welding strip pulling mechanism 31 is controlled to translate toward the middle welding station 21 together with the first side welding station 22, and during the pulling process, the welding strip at the disassembly end of the first disassembled battery string is pulled in a horizontal state until the welding strip at the disassembly end of the first disassembled battery string reaches above the replaced battery piece. The first side welding table 22 and the first welding strip traction mechanism 31 are controlled to descend so that the welding strip at the disassembly end of the first disassembled battery string is laid on the replaced battery piece.
Finally, the second welding strip traction mechanism 32 is controlled to translate towards the middle welding station 21 together with the second side welding station 22, and likewise, in the traction process, the welding strip of the dismantling end of the second dismantling battery string is kept to be horizontally pulled until the welding strip of the dismantling end of the second dismantling battery string reaches the upper side of the replacement battery piece, and the second side welding station 22 and the second welding strip traction mechanism 32 are controlled to descend, so that the welding strip of the dismantling end of the second dismantling battery string is laid on the replacement battery piece.
In the stacking process, if the back of the replacement battery piece is provided with the main grid line, the disassembling end welding strip of the first disassembled battery string and the disassembling end welding strip of the second disassembled battery string are required to be respectively stacked on the positive electrode main grid line and the negative electrode main grid line. If the back of the replacement battery piece is not provided with the main grid line, the disassembling end welding strips of the first disassembling battery string and the disassembling end welding strips of the second disassembling battery string are required to be respectively overlapped at preset welding positions.
Optionally, a second adsorption hole is provided on the bearing surface of the middle welding table 21, and the bearing surface of the middle welding table 21 replaces the battery piece through the second adsorption hole. The end of the first side welding table 22, which is close to the middle welding table 21, is provided with a first side welding adsorption plate 221, and the first side welding adsorption plate 221 is used for bearing and adsorbing the battery pieces at the dismantling end of the first dismantling battery string. The end of the second side welding table 23, which is close to the middle welding table 21, is provided with a second side welding adsorption plate 231, and the second side welding adsorption plate 231 is used for bearing and adsorbing the battery pieces at the dismantling end of the second dismantling battery string. The first side welding adsorption plate 221 and the second side welding adsorption plate 231 may also employ adsorption holes as adsorption structures.
In the stacking and welding process, the middle welding table 21, the first side welding adsorption plate 221 and the second side welding adsorption plate 231 can respectively adsorb the replacement battery piece, the disassembly end battery piece of the first disassembly battery piece and the disassembly end battery piece of the second disassembly battery piece, so that the welding strip traction mechanism 30 and the battery piece feeding mechanism 50 can smoothly stack the disassembly end welding strip of the first disassembly battery string, the disassembly end welding strip of the second disassembly battery string and the replacement battery piece.
Optionally, a second heating assembly is provided within the intermediate welding station 21.

In addition to ensuring that the disassembly end welding strip and the replacement battery piece can be well welded by arranging the tin supplementing mechanism, the battery piece with tin on the welding plate can be selected to be used as the replacement battery piece, for example, undamaged battery pieces disassembled from other good battery strings can be used as the replacement battery piece, and part of tin can remain on the welding plate of the disassembled battery piece; tin can be printed on the bonding pad points of the new battery piece through tin printing equipment, and the battery piece after tin printing is used as a replacement battery piece.
