The invention discloses a
lithium battery cavity negative pressure formation method and an apparatus. The method comprises the following steps: 1) placing a battery core, for which
liquid injection iscompleted, into a charging and discharging formation device; 2) turning on a vacuum valve, starting to vacuumize; 3) performing formation charging; 4) after completing formation charging, turning offthe vacuum valve, and breaking a
vacuum state through
inert gas; 5) taking out the battery from the charging and discharging device, namely, obtaining the needed
lithium battery which is subjected tonegative pressure formation. The apparatus comprises a support apparatus, a needle plate component, a driving air cylinder, a tray and a control apparatus. The method and the apparatus provided by the invention have the following beneficial effects: negative pressure requirements of the
lithium batteries of various forms can be guaranteed, alignment of battery
liquid injection holes is not needed, moreover, a negative pressure pipeline is not directly contacted with the battery, and
pollution to the battery caused by
electrolyte of the previous batch is avoided. The cavity is sealed through aspecial seal groove design, tightness is better, negative pressure effect can be better,
work time of a negative pressure pump is reduced, and an effect of saving energy and reducing emission is realized.
