It should be understood that the description is intended to be illustrative only and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Moreover, in the following description, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted so as to not unnecessarily obscure the concepts of the present invention.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural view of a lithium battery tab bending device according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1, the tab bending device for a lithium battery includes: the device comprises a tab positioning mechanism 1, a first bending mechanism 2 and a second bending mechanism 3.
The first bending mechanism 2 and the second bending mechanism 3 are arranged on the same side of the tab positioning mechanism 1; the first bending mechanism 2 reciprocates along the first direction to bend the antipodal ear 4 in the first direction; the second bending mechanism 3 reciprocates in the second direction to bend the tab 4 in the second direction. Wherein the dotted line at the first bending mechanism 2 represents the first direction, and the dotted line at the second bending mechanism 3 represents the second direction.
In one embodiment, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other. Optionally, the first direction is a vertical direction, and the second direction is a horizontal direction.
Specifically, the tab positioning mechanism 1 includes: a first positioning mechanism 11, a second positioning mechanism 12 and a transport mechanism 13. The first positioning mechanism 11 is located on one side of the conveying mechanism 13, and the first bending mechanism 2 and the second bending mechanism 3 are located on the other side of the conveying mechanism 13. Wherein the conveying mechanism 13 may be a conveyor belt.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of a transfer mechanism according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
In the example shown in fig. 2, the direction of movement of the transport mechanism 13 is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction, respectively; the first positioning mechanism 11, the second positioning mechanism 12 and the transport mechanism 13 are formed with tab fixing grooves 14. Wherein the arrow indicates the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 13.
Further specifically, the lithium battery tab bending device further comprises a control device, and the control device is respectively connected with the conveying mechanism 13, the second positioning mechanism 12, the first bending mechanism 2 and the second bending mechanism 3.
The control device sends a first control signal to the conveying mechanism 13, a second control signal to the second positioning mechanism 12, a third control signal to the first bending mechanism 2, and a fourth control signal to the second bending mechanism 3 in sequence.
The transmission mechanism 13 transmits the tab 4 to a predetermined position after receiving the first control signal.
The second positioning mechanism 12 approaches the tab 4 after receiving the second control signal; the first bending mechanism 2 moves in the first direction after receiving the third control signal to bend the tab 4 in the first direction.
The second bending mechanism 3 moves in the second direction after receiving the fourth control signal, so as to bend the tab 4 in the second direction.
In a preferred embodiment, the lithium battery tab bending device further comprises a detection device; the detection device is connected with the control device and used for sending a detection signal to the control device when the lug 4 reaches a preset position.
Optionally, the detection device is a photoelectric sensor.
Specifically, the detection means comprises a transmitter 5 and a receiver 6 arranged oppositely; the receiver 6 is connected with the control device; the transmitter 5 is located on one side of the transport mechanism 13 and the receiver 6 is located on the other side of the transport mechanism 13. When there is no obstacle between the transmitter 5 and the receiver 6, no electric signal is generated, and when the receiver 6 does not receive the optical signal transmitted by the transmitter 5, which indicates that a certain tab has been conveyed to a position between the transmitter and the receiver, the receiver 6 generates a detection signal and transmits the detection signal to the control device.
Specifically, when the control device receives the detection signal, a signal for conveyance suspension and a second control signal are generated and sent to the conveyance device 13 and the second positioning mechanism 12, respectively. The transmission device 13 stops transmitting the tab when receiving the signal of transmission suspension. And after receiving the second control signal, the second positioning mechanism 12 drives the pressing plate 121 to move downwards, so that the pressing plate presses the tab 4 on the conveying device 13.
Optionally, a time interval for the control device to generate the first control signal, the signal for transmission suspension, the second control signal, the third control signal and the fourth control signal may be preset, so that the lithium battery tab bending device can operate. For example, after the signal for stopping the transmission is generated, the control device generates a second control signal again after the transmission is stopped, so that the second positioning mechanism 12 presses the tab. After the pole lug is pressed, the control device generates a third control signal again so that the first bending mechanism bends the pole lug for the first time, and after the first bending mechanism returns to the position before bending. The control device generates a fourth control signal to enable the second bending mechanism to bend the tab for the second time, and after the second bending mechanism returns to the position before bending, the control device generates the first control signal again to enable the transmission mechanism 13 to transmit the tab to the designated position. The process is circulated in such a way, so that the lug on the conveying mechanism can be bent.
Optionally, a reset detection mechanism may be further disposed on the lithium battery tab bending device to detect whether the first bending mechanism 2 and the second bending mechanism 3 are reset. The reset detection mechanism is connected with the control device.
When the reset detection mechanism detects that the first bending mechanism 2 is reset, a first reset detection signal is sent to the control device. And after receiving the first reset detection signal, the control device generates a fourth control signal so as to bend the polar lug by the second bending mechanism. And when the reset detection mechanism detects that the second bending mechanism is reset, a second reset detection signal is sent to the control device. And after receiving the second reset detection signal, the control device generates a first control signal to control the transmission mechanism to continuously transmit the lug to the designated position.
In one embodiment, the second positioning mechanism 12 includes a platen 121 and a platen drive 122 connected to the platen 121; the platen driving device 122 drives the platen 121 to approach or separate from the tab 4.
Alternatively, the platen driving device 122 may be an air cylinder.

Further, the pressing plate 121 includes a plate body 1211 and a tab bending mold 1212; the second bending mechanism 3 is matched with the shape of the tab bending mold 1212, so that the tab bending device of the lithium battery bends the tab into a preset shape in the second direction.
Further, the first bending mechanism 2 includes a first die 21 and a first driving device 22; the first die 21 is connected with a first driving device 22; the first driving device 22 drives the first mold 21 to reciprocate in the first direction.
Alternatively, the first driving device 22 may be a square pushing shaft, a roller, a cylinder or other devices capable of driving the first mold 21 to reciprocate.
Further, the second bending mechanism 3 includes a second die 31 and a second driving device 32; the second die 31 is connected with a second driving device 32; the second driving device 32 drives the second mold 31 to reciprocate in the second direction.
Alternatively, the second driving device 32 may be a square pushing shaft, a roller, an air cylinder or other devices capable of driving the second mold 31 to reciprocate.

Firstly, the lithium battery tab bending device is debugged, the position of a proper first positioning mechanism 11 is adjusted and fixed according to the set tab length and the bending requirement, a pressing plate 121 with a certain bending angle and a certain bending shape and a corresponding second bending mechanism are selected, and a detection mechanism is debugged.
Then, the tab 4 is horizontally placed on the conveying mechanism 13 (or the tab is placed on the conveying mechanism 13 in combination with an automatic sampling device), and the tab at this time is the tab before bending as shown in fig. 3 (a).
The height of the tab fixing groove 14 between the pressing plate 121 and the conveying mechanism 13 is adjusted by the pressing plate driving device 122 so that the tab 4 can be accommodated in the tab fixing groove 14, and the position of the tab 4 in the width direction of the conveying mechanism 13 is determined by the first positioning mechanism 11.
When the detection device detects that the lug is at the preset position, the control device controls the conveying mechanism to stop conveying; the control device controls the pressing plate driving device to drive the pressing plate 1211 to be close to the tab 4, so that the tab is fixed in the tab fixing groove 14. The control device controls the first bending mechanism to move along the first direction, so that the first bending mechanism is controlled to reset after the tab is bent in the first direction. The control device controls the second bending mechanism to move along the second direction, so that the tab which is bent in the first direction is bent again in the second direction, and then the second bending mechanism is controlled to reset, so that the bent tab shown in fig. 3(b) can be obtained.
Finally, the control device controls the conveying mechanism 13 to continue moving to convey the next tab to the preset position, and the next tab is bent.
