目前,从市场形势的发展来看,电池的应用越加广泛。电池不仅被应用于水力、火力、风力和太阳能电站等储能电源系统,而且还被广泛应用于电动自行车、电动摩托车、电动汽车等电动交通工具,以及军事装备和航空航天等多个领域。随着电池应用领域的不断扩大,其市场的需求量也在不断地扩增。
随着电池行业的飞速发展,电池的生产效率要求也越来越高,同时,也对电池生产过程中的焊接工艺提出更高的要求;在电池单体的焊接工艺中最重要的工艺是壳体和端盖的焊接封装;焊接时,将带有端盖部分的电极组件装入壳体内后,再将端盖的周缘与壳体开口处的周缘焊接在一起,使得壳体和端盖形成一个整体;但端盖和壳体的焊接效率低,无法满足更高的生产效率要求。
申请人,发现壳体与端盖之间的焊接效率低的主要原因在于:在壳体与端盖的焊接过程中,端盖盖合于壳体的开口处后,焊接头需绕端盖行走一圈,从而将端盖的周缘和壳体开口处的周缘焊接在一起,这种焊接方法的焊接时间长,焊接效率低下,限制生产效率提升,降低电池单体的生产效率。
为了提升壳体与端盖之间的焊接效率,申请人经过深入研究,设计了一种焊接方法,该焊接方法利用第一焊接头和第二焊接头分别从端盖的相对两侧对壳体和端盖进行焊接,这种焊接方法与采用绕圈的焊接方法相比,焊接效率高。

其中,每个电池单体20可以为二次电池或一次电池;还可以是锂硫电池、钠离子电池或镁离子电池,但不局限于此。电池单体20可呈扁平体、长方体或其它形状等。
作为电池1100的另一种实施例,电池1100可以不包括该箱体10,而是将多个电池单体20进行电连接,并通过必要的固定结构形成一整体后装配到用电装置中。

壳体21是用于配合端盖22以形成电池单体20的内部环境的组件,其中,形成的内部环境可以用于容纳电极组件23、电解液以及其他部件。壳体21和端盖22可以是独立的部件,可以于壳体21上设置开口,通过在开口处使端盖22盖合开口以形成电池单体20的内部环境。具体地,端盖22和壳体21可以在其他部件入壳前先形成一个共同的连接面,当需要封装壳体21的内部时,再使端盖22盖合壳体21。壳体21可以是多种形状和多种尺寸的,例如长方体形、六棱柱形等。具体地,壳体21的形状可以根据电极组件23的具体形状和尺寸大小来确定。壳体21的材质可以是多种,比如,铜、铁、铝、不锈钢、铝合金、塑胶等,本申请实施例对此不作特殊限制。

结合图3、图5和图6所示,在本申请的一个实施例中,提供一种焊接方法,包括以下步骤:
将盖合有端盖22的壳体21放置于治具103内,治具103构造有供端盖22和壳体21
之间的待焊区24外露的避空结构,待焊区24包括位于端盖22相对两侧的第一待焊区段241和第二待焊区段242;
将治具103移动到焊接设备200的第一焊接工位2201,焊接设备200的第一焊接头101通过避空结构焊接第一待焊区段241,焊接设备200的第二焊接头102通过避空结构焊接第二待焊区段242,其中,第一焊接工位2201位于第一焊接头101和第二焊接头102之间。
治具103是指用于收容固定盖合有端盖22的壳体21的部件,盖合有端盖22的壳体21在治具103内是端盖22和壳体21相对固定,从而方便后续的焊接操作。
焊接设备200是指能够将端盖22和壳体21焊接在一起的设备,其中,焊接设备200可为激光焊接设备、电焊设备、气焊设备等。
第一焊接头101是指焊接设备200中一个实现焊接的执行部件,第二焊接头102是指焊接设备200中另一个用实现焊接的执行部件;例如图5所示,第一焊接头101和第二焊接头102可为激光焊接头,当然在其他实施例中,第一焊接头101和第二焊接头102还可以为电焊头等,根据实际的焊接需要进行设定即可,在此不做限定。
盖设有端盖22的壳体21,可以理解的是,端盖22盖合在壳体21的开口处,端盖22的周缘与壳体21开口处的周缘处需要焊接一圈,从而将端盖22和壳体21连接为一个整体,同时,还可以将端盖22和壳体21围设形成的内部空间密封;其中,端盖22的形状与壳体21的开口的形状相适配,使得壳体21的开口能够完全封闭;端盖22的形状可为三角形、四边形、五边形等规则形状,当然也可为不规则形状,在此不做限定;例如图3和图4所示,端盖22可为电池单体20中的端盖22,壳体21可为电池单体20中的壳体21,端盖22和壳体21盖合焊接在一起后,可实现密封,减少漏液风险,端盖22的形状为长方形,壳体21为长方体。
端盖22和壳体21之间的待焊区24是指端盖22和壳体21的连接区域,例如图3和图5所示,待焊区24是指端盖22的周缘和壳体21开口处的周缘共同形成且需要焊接的区域,其中,第一待焊区段241是指待焊区24位于端盖22的一侧的区域段,第二待焊区段242是指待焊区24位于端盖22的另一侧的区域段,且第一待焊区段241和第二待焊区段242位于端盖22的相对两侧;第一待焊区段241可以是指位于端盖22一侧的一边部处需要焊接的区域,同理,第二待焊区段242可以是指位于端盖22另一侧的一边部处需要焊接的区域例如图7所示,第一待焊区段241是指端盖22后侧的长边部处需要焊接的区域段,第二待焊区段242是指端盖22前侧的长边部处需要焊接的区域段。
避空结构是指能够供待焊区24外露的结构,例如图15和图16所示,避空结构为开设在治具103两侧的通孔;再例如图21~23所示,避空结构为位于容置槽10312的前后侧的开口,当然在其他示例中,还可以为其他结构,在此不做限定。
将治具103移动到焊接设备200的第一焊接工位2201,可以理解的是,可以但不限于是通过人工或者输送装置210将治具103移动到第一焊接工位2201。第一焊接工位2201是指位于第一焊接头101和第二焊接头102之间的位置,治具103能够移动到该位置。例如图5和图7所示,当治具103位于第一焊接工位2201时,第一焊接头101和第一待焊区段241位于治具103的同一侧,第二焊接头102和第二待焊区24位于治具103的同另一侧。
焊接设备200的第一焊接头101通过避空结构焊接第一待焊区段241,焊接设备200的第二焊接头102通过避空结构焊接第二待焊区段242,例如,可以通过相对于治具103移动第一焊接头101和第二焊接头102,从而使得第一焊接头101通过避空结构焊接第一待焊区段241,第二焊接头102焊接通过避空结构焊接第二待焊区段242。
相对于治具103移动第一焊接头101和第二焊接头102,可以理解的是,第一焊接头101能够相对于治具103移动,第二焊接头102也能够相对于治具103移动。
第一焊接头101相对于治具103的移动过程中,第一焊接头101在第一待焊区段241的焊接位置发生变化,从而将第一待焊区段241整个区段焊接在一起;例如图5和图7所示,第一焊接头101相对于治具103沿端盖22后侧的长边部从左向右移动,从而将端盖
22后侧的长边部和壳体21开口处后侧的长边部焊接在一起,从而完成了第一待焊区段241的焊接。
第一焊接头101能够相对于治具103移动,可以是第一焊接头101移动,治具103固定;也可以是第一焊接头101固定,治具103移动;还可以是第一焊接头101和治具103同时移动,但两者之间存在速度差,从而使得第一焊接头101能够相对于治具103移动。
第二焊接头102相对于治具103的移动过程中,第二焊接头102在第二待焊区段242的焊接位置发生变化,从而将第二待焊区段242整个区段焊接在一起;例如图5和图7所示,第二焊接头102相对于治具103沿端盖22前侧的长边部从右向左移动,从而将端盖22前侧的长边部和壳体21开口处前侧的长边部焊接在一起,从而完成了第二待焊区段242的焊接。
第二焊接头102能够相对于治具103移动,可以是第二焊接头102移动,治具103固定;也可以是第二焊接头102固定,治具103移动;还可以是第二焊接头102和治具103同时移动,但两者之间存在速度差,从而使得第二焊接头102能够相对于治具103移动。
本申请实施例的焊接方法,先将盖合有端盖22的壳体21安装于治具103内,然后再将治具103和壳体21移动到第一焊接工位2201,与此同时,第一焊接头101和第二焊接头102位于治具103的相对于两侧;之后,第一焊接头101和第二焊接头102通过避空结构分别焊接第一待焊区段241和第二待焊区段242,便实现端盖22的相对两侧的焊接,这种焊接方法与采用绕圈的焊接方法相比,焊接效率高。
在本申请的另一个实施例中,结合图5~9所示,提供的该焊接方法,待焊区24包括多个待焊区段240,每个待焊区段240对应设置有一个焊接头1002,多个待焊区段240依次首尾相连围合形成环形结构,多个待焊区段240中的两个分别为第一待焊区段241和第二待焊区段242,第一待焊区段241对应的焊接头1002为第一焊接头101,第二待焊区段242对应的焊接头1002为第二焊接头102。
焊接头1002是指焊接设备200中一个实现焊接的执行部件;例如图5所示,焊接头1002可为激光焊接头,当然在其他实施例中,焊接头1002还可以为电焊头等,根据实际的焊接需要进行设定即可,在此不做限定。
待焊区段240是指待焊区24中位于端盖22的一边部的区域段。
多个待焊区段240依次首尾相连围合形成环形结构,每个待焊区段240对应设置有一个焊接头1002,多个待焊区段240依次首尾相连围合形成环形结构,也就是说,端盖22的周缘和壳体21开口处的周缘处形成该环形结构,该环形结构被分为多个待焊区段240,且焊接头1002与待焊区段240一一对应设置,即每个焊接头1002一一对应地焊接对应的待焊区段240,这样便可完成端盖22和壳体21的整圈焊接,使得端盖22将壳体21的内部空间完全密封;另外,端盖22和壳体21通过多个焊接头1002分段焊接,其焊接效率高。
在实际的焊接过程中,待焊区24中的相邻两个待焊区段240在同一位置处焊接结束,使得在焊接结束处可能会出现熔池不足的焊接问题。
在本申请的另一个实施例中,结合图5、图6和图7所示,提供的该焊接方法,多个待焊区段240中相对的一对待焊区段240对应的两个焊接头1002焊接方向相反。
焊接头1002焊接方向是指焊接头1002焊接待焊区段240的过程中焊接位置移动的方向,也可以是指焊接头1002相对治具103的移动方向。
多个待焊区段240中相对的一对待焊区段240对应的两个焊接头1002中的其中一个焊接头1002可参阅图6中位于后侧的空心箭头所指的方向,即从左到右焊接,另一个一个焊接头1002可参阅图6中位于前侧的空心箭头所指的方向,即从右到左焊接。
本申请实施例的焊接方法,相对的一对待焊区段240对应的两个焊接头1002焊接方向相反,这样可使得相对的一对待焊区段240中两个待焊区段的焊接起点和焊接终点分布相反,这样可减少焊接在同一处的结束的风险,有利于提高焊接质量。
在本申请的另一个实施例中,结合图5~9所示,提供的该焊接方法,多个待焊区段240
任意相邻的两个待焊区段240中的一个的焊接起点和另一个的焊接终点相连。
焊接起点是指焊接开始的位置,焊接终点是指焊接结束的位置。
本申请实施例的焊接方法,多个待焊区段240任意相邻的两个待焊区段240中的一个的焊接起点和另一个的焊接终点相连,这样使得所有的待焊区段240的焊接终点不会相重叠,有利于提高焊接质量,提高端盖22和壳体21之间的密封性能。
其中,可以通过所有的焊接头1002的焊接方向可形成一个顺时针或逆势针的环形,从而得到上述多个待焊区段240任意相邻的两个待焊区段240中的一个的焊接起点和另一个的焊接终点相连的结构。
在本申请的另一个实施例中,结合图10~图12所示,提供的该焊接方法,多个待焊区段240中相对的一对待焊区段240对应的两个焊接头1002焊接方向相同。
多个待焊区段240中相对的一对待焊区段240对应的两个焊接头1002中的其中一个焊接头的焊接方向可参阅图11位于后侧并靠左的空心箭头所指的方向,即从左往右焊接,另一个焊接头的焊接方向可参阅图11位于后侧并靠左的空心箭头所指的方向,即从左往右焊接。
本申请实施例的焊接方法,多个待焊区段240中相对的一对待焊区段240对应的两个焊接头1002焊接方向相同,焊接操作简单,也易于实现。
在本申请的另一个实施例中,提供的该焊接方法,结合图10~14所示,至少一个焊接头1002沿第一方向焊接对应的待焊区段240后再反向焊接对应的待焊区段240。
第一方向是指焊接头1002对应的待焊区段240的焊接方向,示例地,第一方向可以是从待焊区段240的一端焊接到待焊区段240的另一端所示的方向;其中,需要说明的是,不同焊接头1002的第一方向不同,其具体的根据对应待焊区段240的形状而确定。例如,第一方向可参阅图11中位于后侧并靠左的空心箭头所指的方向,即从左往右焊接;焊接头的反向焊接方向可参阅图11所示位于后侧并靠右的空心箭头所指的方向,即从右往左焊接。
本申请实施例的焊接方法,焊接头1002沿第一方向焊接对应的待焊区段240后,再反向焊接待焊区段240,这样待焊区段240的两端中,其中一端为沿第一方向的焊接起点,另一端为反向焊接的焊接起点,这样可减少相邻两个待焊区段240相连焊接终点位于同一处的风险,提高焊接质量;另外,若焊接起点与焊接终点连接,焊接起点处的焊接材料会堆积在焊接终点处的熔池处,提高焊接质量。
在本申请的另一个实施例中,结合图10和图11所示,提供的该焊接方法,待焊区段240构造有停焊位,焊接头1002从待焊区段240的一端沿第一方向焊接到停焊位后停止焊接,焊接头1002再反向焊接,以完成待焊区段240上未焊接区域的焊接。
停焊位是指焊接头1002沿第一方向焊接对应的待焊区段240的过程中停止焊接的位置,例如图11所示,可参阅图11中I所示的位置。
本申请实施例的焊接方法,在焊接头1002从待焊区段240的一端沿第一方向焊接到停焊位后,焊接头1002越过待焊区段240的另一端后,焊接头1002反向焊接到停焊位,此时,焊接头1002反向焊接完待焊区段240上的未焊接区域,这种焊接方法,使得待焊区段240的一端作为焊接头沿第一方向焊接的焊接起点,而待焊区段的另一端作为反向焊接的焊接起点,待焊区段240的两端均为焊接起点,可减少相邻两个待焊区段240相连焊接终点位于同一处的风险,有利于提高焊接质量。

第三焊接头231相对于治具103的移动过程中,第三焊接头231在第三待焊区段243

在实际的焊接过程中,待焊区24中的相邻两个待焊区段240在同一位置处焊接结束,使得在焊接结束处可能会出现熔池不足的焊接问题。

一焊接头101和第二焊接头102相对静止,无需移动,也有利于提高焊接位置的准确性,提高焊接精度。
在本申请的另一个实施例中,结合图19和图20所示,提供的该焊接装置100的移动机构107包括间隔设置的第一输送带组件1071和第二输送带组件1072,第一输送带组件1071和第二输送带组件1072能够夹持壳体21并能够使得壳体21在第一输送带组件1071和第二输送带组件1072的输送下移动。
第一输送带组件1071是指用于输送壳体21的输送带组件,例如图19和图20所示,第一输送带组件1071是指位于治具103后侧的输送带组件,其中,第一输送带组件1071包括驱动件、传动件和输送带,输送带套设在传动件外,驱动件驱动传动件转动,从而带动输送带移动,从而带动位于第一输送带和第二输送带之间的壳体21移动。其中,传动件可为输送辊、输送轮等部件,驱动件可为电机、马达等部件,输送带可为输送履带、输送同步带等。
第二输送带组件1072是指用于输送壳体21的输送带组件,例如图19和图20所示,第二输送带组件1072是指位于治具103前侧的输送带组件,其中,第二输送带组件1072的结构可与第一输送组件的结构相同,其具体的结构参阅上述的第一输送带组件1071的结构,当然在其他实施例中,第二输送带组件1072的结构可以与第一输送带组件1071的结构不同,在此不做限定。
第一输送带组件1071和第二输送带组件1072能够夹持壳体21并能够使得壳体21在第一输送带组件1071和第二输送带组件1072的输送下移动,可以理解的是,当装载有治具103移动到第一输送带组件1071和第二输送带组件1072之间时,第一输送带组件1071和第二输送带组件1072能够将壳体21夹住,并且在第一输送带组件1071和第二输送带组件1072的输送下,壳体21会随之左右移动,从而实现待焊区段240的焊接。
本申请实施例的焊接装置100,在焊接时,治具103移动到第一输送带组件1071和第二输送带组件1072之间,并在第一输送带组件1071和第二输送带组件1072的输送下带动治具103内的壳体21移动,从而实现待焊区段240的焊接,而第一输送带组件1071和第二输送带组件1072将壳体21夹持,也会对壳体21起到定位作用,有利于焊接精度的提高。另外,采用第一输送带组件1071和第二输送带组件1072的结构对壳体21进行输送,第一输送带组件1071和第二输送带组件1072与壳体21的相对两侧面进行接触定位,定位精度更好,焊接准确性也越好。
在本申请的另一个实施例中,结合图21~23所示,提供的该焊接装置100的治具103构造有压紧板10311和供盖合有端盖22的壳体21容置的容置槽10312,压紧板10311位于容置槽10312的开口处,并压紧于壳体21上并将壳体21朝向端盖22抵推,以压紧固定端盖22和壳体21。
在实际的焊接过程中,壳体21和端盖22在移动过程中易于相对移动,从而导致焊接的位置发生偏移等焊接精度差的问题,为了解决这一问题,通常采用预焊的方式,即在盖合有端盖22的壳体21移动到焊接位置之前,先将端盖22和壳体21初步焊接在一起,使得端盖22和壳体21相对固定而不会出现移动,从而提高后续焊接的准确性,但预焊会增加焊接工序,降低焊接效率。
治具103构造有压紧板10311和供盖合有端盖22的壳体21容置的容置槽10312,容置槽10312给盖合有端盖22的壳体21提供安装空间。
压紧板10311位于容置槽10312的开口处,并压紧于壳体21上并将壳体21朝向端盖22抵推,以压紧固定端盖22和壳体21;可以理解的是,压紧板10311位于容置槽10312的开口处,端盖22位于容置槽10312的槽底部,压紧板10311将壳体21朝向容置槽10312的槽底抵推,从而使得壳体21和端盖22压紧固定在一起,此时端盖22和壳体21可以稳定固定在一起,从而可省掉预焊的操作,提高焊接效率;并且,在压紧板10311的压紧作用下,壳体21和端盖22在焊接移动过程中也不会相对移动,使得壳体21和端盖22能够
准确地焊接在一起,焊接精度高;另外,壳体21倒扣端盖22上,壳体21的开口朝下设置,这样粉尘、焊渣等异物不会落入壳体21内。
在一实施例中,压紧板10311与治具103之间可以但不限于是螺接、卡接、转动连接等方式进行连接;在另一实施例中,压紧板10311与治具103为一体化结构。
在一实施例中,结合图15和图16所示,治具103中容纳有盖合有端盖22的壳体21,第一焊接头101、第一驱动件108和第二驱动件109均位于壳体21的后侧,第二焊接头102、第三驱动件110和第四驱动件111均位于壳体21的前侧,这样布局方便部件布置;第一驱动件108安装于第二驱动件109上,第一焊接头101安装于第一驱动件108上,第一驱动件108带动第一焊接头101上下移动,第二驱动件109带动第一焊接头101前后移动;第三驱动件110安装于第四驱动件111上,第二焊接头102安装于第三驱动件110上,第三驱动件110带动第二焊接头102上下移动,第四驱动件111带动第二焊接头102前后移动。另外,该治具103可通过输送装置210驱动移动,从而实现第一焊接头101和第二焊接头102相对于治具103的移动,进而实现对应的待焊区段240的焊接,这样结构简单,方便加工制作。
在一实施例中,结合图17和图18所示,治具103中容纳有盖合有端盖22的壳体21,夹持机构106夹持壳体21外,第一焊接头101、第一驱动件108、第二驱动件109和第一移动件104均位于壳体21的后侧,第二移动件105、第二焊接头102、第三驱动件110和第四驱动件111均位于壳体21的前侧,这样布局方便部件布置;第二驱动件109安装于第一移动件104上,第一驱动件108安装于第二驱动件109上,第一焊接头101安装于第一驱动件108上,第一驱动件108带动第一焊接头101上下移动,第二驱动件109带动第一焊接头101前后移动,第一移动件104带动第一焊接头101左右移动,从而实现对应的待焊区段240的焊接;第四驱动件111安装于第二移动件105上,第三驱动件110安装于第四驱动件111上,第二焊接头102安装于第三驱动件110上,第三驱动件110带动第二焊接头102上下移动,第四驱动件111带动第二焊接头102前后移动,第二移动件105带动第二焊接头102左右移动,从而实现对应的待焊区段240的焊接。
在一实施例中,结合图19和图20所示,治具103中容纳有盖合有端盖22的壳体21,壳体21夹持于第一输送带组件1071和第二输送带组件1072,第一焊接头101、第一驱动件108、第二驱动件109和第一输送带组件1071均位于壳体21的后侧,且第一输送带组件1071位于治具103和第一驱动件108之间;第二输送带组件1072、第二焊接头102、第三驱动件110和第四驱动件111均位于壳体21的前侧,且第二输送带组件1072位于治具103和第三驱动件110之间,这样布局方便部件布置;第二驱动件109安装于第一移动件104上,第一驱动件108安装于第二驱动件109上,第一焊接头101安装于第一驱动件108上,第一驱动件108带动第一焊接头101上下移动,第二驱动件109带动第一焊接头101前后移动;第四驱动件111安装于第二移动件105上,第三驱动件110安装于第四驱动件111上,第二焊接头102安装于第三驱动件110上,第三驱动件110带动第二焊接头102上下移动,第四驱动件111带动第二焊接头102前后移动;另外,在第一输送带组件1071和第二输送带组件1072的输送下,壳体21随之左右移动,从而实现对应的待焊区段240的焊接。
