The invention relates to an automatic
electrode clamp opening and closing device for the formation of a
lithium battery. The device comprises a cylinder, first sliding blocks, second sliding blocks, a first sliding plate and a second sliding plate. The cylinder is fixed on a support plate. A connecting block is arranged on the head part of a
piston rod of the cylinder. The first sliding plate is arranged on the first sliding blocks, and the second sliding plate is arranged on the second sliding blocks. The connecting block is connected with the first sliding plate through a first motion mechanism, and is connected with the second sliding plate through a second motion mechanism. When the cylinder does
piston motion, the first and second sliding blocks are driven by the first and second sliding plates to do
linear motion along the support plate, and only motion towards or away from each other in motion. At least one stirring fork for stirring an
electrode clamp is arranged on the first sliding plate. Stirring forks of which the number is the same as that of the stirring forks on the first sliding plate are arranged on the second sliding plate. The stirring forks on the first and second sliding plates are arranged in pairs. By the device, the
electrode clamps can be automatically opened and closed.
