  • Publication number: 20250158101
    Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide a clamping assembly, a conveying mechanism, and a device for assembling a battery cell. The clamping assembly includes: two clamping modules apart from each other in a first direction, where a material is located between the two clamping modules; and a moving module linked to the two clamping modules. The two clamping modules are configured to: when the moving module moves along a second direction, move along the first direction away from each other to release the material or move along the first direction approaching each other to clamp the material, the second direction being different from the first direction. The clamping assembly, the conveying mechanism, and the device for assembling a battery cell in the embodiments of this application can improve the conveying and processing efficiency of the material.

  • Patent number: 12057544
    Abstract: This application relates to a bare cell film coating apparatus and method, and a battery manufacturing system. The bare cell film coating apparatus includes: a supporting assembly, configured to support a cell assembly; and a film coating assembly, configured to apply a coating of an insulation film to a bare cell in the cell assembly placed on the supporting assembly. The film coating assembly includes a mounting bracket and two clamping assemblies configured to clamp the insulation film. Both clamping assemblies are rotatably disposed on the mounting bracket around a rotation axis consistent with a first direction and are spaced out along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.
