ASSEMBLY DEVICE FOR BATTERY CELL
An assembly device includes a supporting member configured to support an end cap of a battery cell and a pressing-down mechanism arranged above the supporting member. The pressing-down mechanism is configured to press down a housing of the battery cell to enable the housing to fit with the end cap, so that the end cap closes off an opening of the housing.
1 . An assembly device, comprising:
a supporting member configured to support an end cap of a battery cell; and
a pressing-down mechanism arranged above the supporting member, the pressing-down mechanism being configured to press down a housing of the battery cell to enable the housing to fit with the end cap, so that the end cap closes off an opening of the housing.
2 . The assembly device according to claim 1 , wherein the supporting member comprises:
a supporting face configured to support the end cap; and
a recessed portion recessed from the supporting face in a direction away from the pressing-down mechanism, the recessed portion being configured to avoid an electrode terminal at the end cap.
3 . The assembly device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a first limiting mechanism configured to limit the end cap in a first direction perpendicular to a pressing down direction of the pressing-down mechanism.
4 . The assembly device according to claim 3 , wherein the first limiting mechanism comprises two first limiting members, and a first limiting gap for accommodating the end cap is formed between the two first limiting members in the first direction.
5 . The assembly device according to claim 4 , wherein the supporting member at least partially extends into the first limiting gap to support the end cap.
6 . The assembly device according to claim 4 , further comprising:
a second limiting mechanism configured to limit the housing in the first direction, wherein the second limiting mechanism comprises two second limiting members, the two second limiting members are respectively arranged on the two first limiting members, and a second limiting gap for accommodating the housing is formed between the two second limiting members in the first direction.
7 . The assembly device according to claim 6 , wherein a first groove is formed in a surface of each of the first limiting members that faces the housing in the first direction, and the second limiting members are arranged in the first grooves.
8 . The assembly device according to claim 7 , wherein each of the first grooves passes through a surface of the first limiting member in a direction in which the supporting member faces the pressing-down mechanism.
9 . The assembly device according to claim 6 , wherein the second limiting members are made of a nonmetallic material.
10 . The assembly device according to claim 3 , further comprising:
a second limiting mechanism configured to limit the housing in the direction perpendicular to the pressing down direction.
11 . The assembly device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a third limiting mechanism configured to limit the housing in a second direction perpendicular to a pressing down direction of the pressing-down mechanism.
12 . The assembly device according to claim 11 , wherein:
the third limiting mechanism comprises two third limiting members spaced apart in the second direction; and
a surface of each of the two third limiting members that faces the housing is provided with a second groove configured for the housing to be engaged in.
