Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lithium battery inkjet printer technology, and in particular to an inkjet printer for lithium battery manufacturing. Background Technology
[0002] Lithium-ion batteries are a type of battery that uses lithium metal or lithium alloys as positive / negative electrode materials and a non-aqueous electrolyte solution. Due to the highly reactive chemical properties of lithium metal, its processing, storage, and use require stringent environmental conditions. With the development of science and technology, lithium-ion batteries have become mainstream, and inkjet printers play a crucial role in their production. As an industrial marking device, they are primarily used to quickly and accurately print various variable information on product or packaging surfaces, such as production dates, shelf lives, batch numbers, barcodes, QR codes, and trademarks. Their core function is to help manufacturing companies achieve full product lifecycle management through automated coding technology.
[0003] While existing lithium battery inkjet printers offer advantages over handheld inkjet printers for continuous printing, their limiting methods are limited. They typically use fixed partitions to restrict the lithium battery from leaving the printing position, but the limiting distance cannot be adjusted arbitrarily according to the size of the lithium battery saw, which greatly reduces the device's working efficiency and applicability.
[0004] Therefore, we propose an inkjet printer for lithium battery manufacturing to solve this problem. Utility Model Content
