Specifically, the plurality of heating modules 121 are arranged on the conveyor belt 31 at intervals and located between the feeding area 12 and the discharging area 13, and the plurality of clamping assemblies 2 are distributed at intervals along the track of the conveyor belt 31. All the heating modules 121 are kept in a fixed state, the distance between the feeding area 12 and the heating module 121 closest to the feeding area 12 on the conveyor belt 31 is equal to the distance between the two adjacent heating cavities 1211, and the distance between the discharging area 13 and the heating module 121 closest to the discharging area 13 is also equal to the distance between the two adjacent heating cavities 1211.
Thus, when the first clamping assembly 2 conveys the electrical core 8 thereon from the feeding area 12 to the discharging area 13 along the conveying belt 31, the last clamping assembly 2 at this time is located in the feeding area 12, and the electrical core 8 on the remaining one or more clamping assemblies 2 is located in the heating cavity 1211 of the corresponding heating module 121. At this time, the conveyor belt 31 is stopped, and the heated battery cell 8 on the first clamping assembly 2 can be taken out by a manipulator or other transferring device and directly transferred to the pressure device for pressurization and shaping.
At the same time, unheated cells 8 are placed on the last clamping assembly 2 by a robot or other transfer device. That is, by turning off the conveyor belt 31, the feeding operation of the heated battery cells 8 and the feeding operation of the unheated battery cells 8 are performed simultaneously, and in the period of feeding and discharging the battery cells 8, the battery cells 8 in the heating cavity 1211 are in a static state under the support of the corresponding clamping assembly 2, and the heating efficiency of the heating module 121 to the battery cells 8 is highest.
Therefore, not only the feeding and discharging efficiency of the battery cells 8 is improved, but also the heating efficiency of the battery cells 8 by the heating module 121 can be effectively ensured, and the heat loss generated by the fact that the battery cells 8 are not in the heating cavity 1211 in the feeding and discharging process of the battery cells 8 is avoided. Simultaneously, a plurality of clamping assemblies 2 carry or stop along with conveyer belt 31 is synchronous, can realize carrying out synchronous heating's effect to electric core 8 in batches, further improves the heating efficiency to electric core 8, promptly improves the production efficiency to electric core 8 promptly.
In addition, it is easy to understand that by making the interval between two adjacent clamping assemblies 2 equal to the interval between two adjacent heating chambers 1211, when the previous clamping assembly 2 drives the electric core 8 thereon to move out of one heating chamber 1211, the next clamping assembly 2 just enters the heating chamber 1211, thus improving the continuity of induction heating to the electric core 8, and further improving the heating efficiency to the electric core 8, that is, improving the production efficiency to the electric core 8.
