[0062] To improve the quality of the split pieces, optionally, the depth of the groove body is greater than 50% of the thickness of the battery cell, more optionally, the depth of the groove body is greater than 80% of the thickness of the battery cell, and of course, preferably greater than 90%.
[0063] In this embodiment, if Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the splitting device 5 also includes a moving frame 522 and a driving device for driving the moving frame 522 to move; the splitting laser 56 and the cooling nozzle 57 are both installed on the moving frame 522 and move with the moving frame 522.

[0067] The second driving mechanism includes a second motor 523, a second lead screw driven by the second motor 523, and a second nut matched with the second lead screw, and the moving frame 522 is connected to the second nut. When the second motor 523 drives the second lead screw to rotate, the second nut moves along the second lead screw and drives the moving frame 522 to move longitudinally.
[0068] It is understandable that the first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism are not limited to the above structure, and other linear driving methods may also be used, such as cylinder driving method.
[0069] When the transverse moving module 52 is driven by the first driving mechanism to move in the transverse direction, the splitting laser 56 on the moving frame 522 moves along the extension direction of the groove body opened on the battery cell 100 and emits laser (such as Figure 7 A battery cell 100 to be split is arranged below the splitting laser 56, and the battery cell 100 is cracked along the groove body after being cut by the laser; after the splitting laser 56 cuts the battery cell 100 along the first cutting line in the transverse direction, it is driven by the second driving mechanism and moves along the longitudinal direction perpendicular to the transverse direction with the moving frame 22 for a preset distance, so that the splitting laser 56 moves to another position of the battery cell 100 along the longitudinal direction and then splits the battery cell along the second cutting line extending in the transverse direction.
[0070] Optionally, in the process of cutting the battery cell 100 into three or more battery cells, the split laser 56 can be driven to cut from the first end to the second end of the battery cell along the first cutting line in the transverse direction, and then move longitudinally to the second cutting line, cut from the second end to the first end of the battery cell along the second cutting line, and then move longitudinally to the third cutting line, cut from the first end to the second end of the battery cell along the third cutting line, that is, reciprocating cutting is performed; or after the split laser 56 cuts from the first end to the second end of the battery cell along the first cutting line, it can be driven longitudinally to the second cutting line, and then move transversely to the first end of the battery cell, cut from the first end to the second end, and then move to the third cutting line to cut from the first end to the second end, that is, multiple cutting lines of the split laser 56 are all cut from the first end to the second end.
[0071] The number of lines to be cut on the battery cell 100 may be one, two or more, which is determined according to the number of battery cells that actually need to be cut.
[0072] In this embodiment, if Fig. 9 As shown, the movable frame 522 includes a movable plate 5221, a connecting plate 5222, a connecting top plate 5223 and a mounting plate 5224, wherein the split laser 56 and the cooling nozzle 57 are mounted on the mounting plate 5224, the movable plate 5221 is connected to the second driving mechanism, and the movable plate 5221 is driven by the second driving mechanism to move longitudinally relative to the transverse moving body 521, the movable plate 5221 and the connecting top plate 5223 are connected by the connecting plates 5222 located on both sides, and the mounting plate 5224 is connected to the connecting top plate 5223, so that the mounting plate 5224 can move longitudinally driven by the movable plate 5221.
[0073] Optionally, in order to facilitate the adjustment of the cutting position of the splitting laser 56 corresponding to the cell sheet, the position of the splitting laser 56 on the moving frame 522 is adjustable.
[0074] Specific as Fig. 9As shown, a downwardly inclined guide rail 59 and a locking component (not shown) are provided between the split laser 56 and the mobile frame 522 (specifically, the mounting plate 5224 of the mobile frame 522). The split laser 56 can move along the inclined guide rail 59 to adjust the position, and after being adjusted to a predetermined position, it is locked on the mobile frame 522 by the locking component. The locking component can be a fastener such as a screw or a buckle.
[0075] In addition, in the present embodiment, the battery cell splitting device also includes a temperature measuring device 58 installed on the movable frame 522 for detecting the temperature at the battery cell cutting point. By setting the temperature measuring device 58, the temperature reduction of the cut battery cell can be controlled during the cutting process. For example, when the temperature measuring device 58 measures that the temperature at the current battery cell cutting point is high, the cooling device can be controlled to increase the amount of coolant used at the current cutting point; when the temperature measuring device 58 measures that the temperature at the current battery cell cutting point is not high, the cooling device can be controlled to reduce or cancel the amount of coolant used at the current cutting point.
[0076] It should be noted that the critical value of the temperature at the cell cutting location varies with the cell or process, and is not specifically limited in the present invention. In addition, the cooling device can be controlled manually or by a controller (single chip microcomputer, PLC, etc.).
[0077] Optionally, the temperature measuring device 58 is an infrared thermometer, which relies on its internal optical system to gather the infrared radiation energy of the object to the detector (sensor) according to the infrared radiation characteristics of the object, and converts it into an electrical signal, and then displays the temperature of the measured object on the display terminal after passing through an amplification circuit, a compensation circuit and linear processing.

The two symmetrical rows of adsorption holes, while improving the accuracy of the battery cell position, make the stress on the battery cell on both sides of the position to be cut basically the same when the battery cell is cut, thereby improving the cutting accuracy of the battery cell.
[0081] In addition, in this embodiment, the cell splitting equipment also includes a first positioning detection device 6, which is used to perform position detection and appearance detection on the cell located at the slotting station, and the slotting laser 41 slots according to the position detected by the first positioning detection device 6.

Fig.10 Three adsorption plates 91 are shown, each of which can adsorb a battery cell. After each adsorption plate 91 adsorbs the split battery cell, the rotating mechanism 94 rotates each adsorption plate 91 to the receiving device for release. In order to allow each battery cell to have a spacing between them for easy storage, the separation mechanism 92 can drive each adsorption plate 91 to separate by a preset distance, and then control the adsorption plate 91 to release the adsorbed battery cell.
