Definitions

  • the automatic valve includes an upper valve body, a lower valve body, an elastic element, and a gasket ring
  • the upper valve body is provided with a first channel running through an outer side of the upper valve body and a second channel axially configured and intercommunicated with the first channel
  • the lower valve body is provided with a third channel in which the upper valve body is slidably configured
  • the elastic element is configured between the upper valve body and the lower valve body to make the upper and the lower valve body stay in a normal-closed state
  • the gasket ring is configured between the upper valve body and the lower valve body to seal the first channel when the upper and the lower valve body are turned off
  • the third channel is provided with an entry to intercommunicate with the first channel when the upper and the lower valve body are turned on.
  • the circuit assembly is configured at the outer wall of a bottom of the fixture body.
  • the system further includes a limiting device for limiting the active heating and drying fixture for lithium battery so as to make the automatic valve align with the vacuum pipeline.
  • the fixture body 1 of the present invention is provided with the cavity 11 in which multiple receiving slots 12 are configured to receive a plurality of lithium batteries.
  • the heating device 2 is configured outside the cavity 11 to transfer the heat to the cavity through the fixture body 1, thereby the lithium batteries in the cavity 11 can be heated.
  • the cavity 11 can be sealed; accordingly, the cavity 11 can be evacuated by the automatic valve 6, so that the lithium battery can be dried in a vacuum environment, thereby effectively improving the drying effect.
  • the fixture according to the present invention not only has the function of loading the battery, but also has the function of actively heating. During the drying process of the battery, the heating and drying can be directly performed on the fixture, and the large drying oven and the heating module are omitted, thereby simplifying the process and reducing the manufacturing cost.
  • a system 200 includes the active heating and drying fixture for lithium battery 100, a transport line 201, a vacuum pipeline 202 and a lifting device 203.
  • the active heating and drying fixture for lithium battery 100 is arranged on the transport line 201 to move along with the transport line 201, the automatic valve 6 is arranged on the bottom of the fixture 100 through the gasket ring, and intercommunicated with the inside of fixture 100.
  • the vacuum pipeline 202 is arranged at the output end of the lifting device 203 and connected with a vacuum-pumping system, and the lifting device 203 is arranged below the transport line 201 to lift the vacuum pipeline 202, causing the vacuum pipeline 202 to turn on the automatic valve 6 and connect with the automatic valve 6.
  • the system 200 further includes a positioning mechanism which has a positioning sleeve 205 and a positioning post 206, one of the positioning sleeve 205 and the positioning post 206 is arranged on the bottom of the fixture 100, and the other of the positioning sleeve 205 and the positioning post 206 is arranged on the output end of the lifting device 203.
  • the positioning post 206 is arranged on the output end of the lifting device 203, and the positioning sleeve 205 is arranged on the bottom of the fixture 100, so as to prevent a shift of the fixture 100 to ensure the smooth turn-on of the automatic valve 6.
  • the working principle of the system 200 is as follows.
  • the carrier platform 2031 descends under the action of the output end of the lifting device 203, causing the fixture to be supported on the carrier platform 2031 again.
  • the positioning post 206 is withdrawn from the positioning sleeve 205, the probes 204 leaves the pinhole 31, and the base 2021 leaves the lower valve body 62.
