In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.
[0041] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a battery pole piece forming device, which includes a conveying mechanism 2 for conveying a substrate 100, a feeding mechanism 3 and a rolling mechanism 4, the rolling mechanism 4 includes a first pressing roller 41, a second pressing roller 42, a third pressing roller 43 and a fourth pressing roller 44 arranged side by side in sequence, the spacing between the first pressing roller 41 and the second pressing roller 42 is the same as the spacing between the third pressing roller 43 and the fourth pressing roller 44, the substrate 100 is vertically arranged between the second pressing roller 42 and the third pressing roller 43, the first pressing roller 41 and the second pressing roller 42 can roll the active material particles conveyed by the feeding mechanism 3 to form a first membrane, the third pressing roller 43 and the fourth pressing roller 44 can roll the active material particles conveyed by the feeding mechanism 3 to form a second membrane, and the second pressing roller 42 and the third pressing roller 43 can roll the first membrane and the second membrane on both sides of the substrate 100 respectively.
[0042] The first pressing roller 41 and the third pressing roller 43 rotate in opposite directions, and the second pressing roller 42 and the fourth pressing roller 44 rotate in opposite directions. The first film formed by rolling the first pressing roller 41 and the second pressing roller 42 is attached to the second pressing roller 42, and the second film formed by rolling the third pressing roller 43 and the fourth pressing roller 44 is attached to the third pressing roller 43. Then, the second pressing roller 42 and the third pressing roller 43 roll the first film and the second film on both sides of the substrate 100 respectively. In this way, the thickness of the first film and the second film located on both sides of the substrate 100 can be kept the same, so that the thickness of the formed battery pole piece is uniform, and the rolling of the active material particles to form a film and the rolling forming of the battery pole piece are carried out simultaneously, which can improve the forming efficiency of the battery pole piece.
[0043] Further, in order to make the first film sheet be better attached to the second pressing roller 42, the temperature of the first pressing roller 41 is greater than the temperature of the second pressing roller 42. In this embodiment, the temperature of the first pressing roller 41 is 40°C-300°C, and the temperature of the second pressing roller 42 is room temperature, so that the first film sheet can be better attached to the second pressing roller 42 after roll forming. In order to make the second film sheet be better attached to the third pressing roller 43, the temperature of the fourth pressing roller 44 is greater than the temperature of the third pressing roller 43, the temperature of the fourth pressing roller 44 is 40°C-300°C, and the temperature of the third pressing roller 43 is room temperature, so that the second film sheet 42 can be better attached to the third pressing roller 43 after roll forming.
[0044] Further, in this embodiment, the roughness of the first pressing roller 41 , the second pressing roller 42 , the third pressing roller 43 and the fourth pressing roller 44 are all 0.4 μm-0.8 μm.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 3 includes two feeding hoppers 31. It can be understood that the roller-pressing of the first diaphragm and the second diaphragm is carried out by the corresponding feeding hoppers 31 to convey the active material particles separately, so that when the feeding speeds of the two feeding hoppers 31 are the same, the uniformity of the conveying of the active material particles can be ensured, thereby further ensuring the consistency of the thickness of the first diaphragm and the second diaphragm. Of course, there can be more than two feeding hoppers 31.
[0046] Further, the conveying mechanism 2 includes a first support member 21 and a second support member 22, wherein the first support member 21 can support the substrate coil, and the second support member 22 is provided with a winding roller, which can drive the substrate 100 to pass between the second pressing roller 42 and the third pressing roller 43. The conveying mechanism 2 also includes two first support rollers 23 for supporting the substrate 100, and a portion of the substrate 100 located between the two first support rollers 23 is vertically arranged. It can be understood that under the action of the two first support rollers 23, the portion of the substrate 100 located between the two first support rollers 23 is vertically passed between the second pressing roller 42 and the third pressing roller 43, so that the second pressing roller 42 and the third pressing roller 43 respectively roll the first film and the second film on both sides of the substrate 100.
[0047] Further, the conveying mechanism 2 further includes a second support roller 24 and a third support roller 25, at least one second support roller 24 and at least one third support roller 25 are provided between the first support member 21 and the rolling mechanism 4, at least one second support roller 24 and at least one third support roller 25 are provided between the second support member 22 and the rolling mechanism 4, and the substrate 100 can be supported and tensioned by the second support roller 24 and the third support roller 25.

It can be understood that in the present embodiment, the substrate 100 is wound below the two second support rollers 24.
[0048] Further, in this embodiment, the positions of the second support rollers 24 in the vertical direction are adjustable. By setting the second support rollers 24 to be adjustable in the vertical direction, the substrate 100 can be tensioned by adjusting the positions of the two second support rollers 24 in the vertical direction. Of course, in other embodiments, the third support roller 25 can also be set to be adjustable in the vertical direction, and the substrate 100 can be tensioned by adjusting the position of the third support roller 25.

In addition, in this embodiment, the position of the upper first support roller 23 of the two first support rollers 23 is adjustable in the horizontal direction, and the position of the lower first support roller 23 is adjustable in the vertical direction, thereby avoiding interference between the substrate 100 and the first pressure roller 41 by adjusting the position of the lower first support roller 23 in the vertical direction, and the verticality of the part of the substrate 100 located between the two first support rollers 23 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the upper first support roller 23 in the horizontal direction. Specifically, a third slide groove 121 is provided in the horizontal direction on the vertical support plate 12, and the upper first support roller 23 of the two first support rollers 23 is slidably arranged in the third slide groove 121.

Further, in order to enable the support structure 71 to slide stably, a limiting groove is provided on the horizontal support plate 11 corresponding to each supporting structure 71, and the support structure 71 is slidably arranged in the corresponding limiting groove. Further preferably, in order to reduce the friction between the support structure 71 and the horizontal support plate 11, a roller is provided on the support structure 71. By providing rollers, the sliding of the support structure 71 relative to the horizontal support plate 11 is changed into rolling, so that the friction between the support structure 71 and the horizontal support plate 11 can be reduced.

[0062] Furthermore, the third driving structure 9 further includes a second elastic member 94, which is disposed between the pushing block 93 and the supporting structure 71. By providing the second elastic member 94, the movement of the pushing block 93 can be buffered, and support can be provided for the pushing block 93, so that the position of the pushing block 93 remains stable when the third rotating wheel 91 stops rotating, thereby maintaining a stable spacing between the third pressing roller 43 and the fourth pressing roller 44.
[0063] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the support structure 71 includes a first portion 711, a second portion 712 and a third portion 713, the second portion 712 is vertically connected to the first portion 711, the third portion 713 is vertically connected to the second portion 712, and the above-mentioned second slide groove is formed between the first portion 711, the second portion 712 and the third portion 713. The first portion 711 is located in the limiting groove, and a roller is provided on the first portion 711. The second connecting rod 82 is threadedly connected to the second portion 712, and one side of the pushing block 93 abuts against the second portion 712. The third connecting rod 92 passes through the third portion 713 and is connected to the pushing block 93, and the third connecting rod 92 is threadedly connected to the third portion 713.
[0064] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to improve the rotation consistency of the first pressure roller 41, the second pressure roller 42, the third pressure roller 43 and the fourth pressure roller 44, one end of the first pressure roller 41 is connected to the first gear 45, one end of the second pressure roller 42 is connected to the second gear 46, one end of the third pressure roller 43 is connected to the third gear 47, and one end of the fourth pressure roller 44 is connected to the fourth gear 48, wherein the first gear 45 and the second gear 46 are meshed, the second gear 46 and the third gear 47 are meshed, and the third gear 47 and the fourth gear 48 are meshed.
[0065] In summary, the battery pole piece forming equipment provided in this embodiment is provided with a first pressing roller 41, a second pressing roller 42, a third pressing roller 43 and a fourth pressing roller 44. The first pressing roller 41 and the second pressing roller 42 press the active material particles to form a first membrane sheet, and the third pressing roller 43 and the fourth pressing roller 44 press the active material particles to form a second membrane sheet. Subsequently, the first membrane sheet and the second membrane sheet are respectively pressed onto the two sides of the substrate 100 by the second pressing roller 42 and the third pressing roller 43. Compared with the prior art, the thickness of the first membrane sheet and the second membrane sheet respectively located on the two sides of the substrate 100 can be made consistent, thereby ensuring the uniform thickness of the formed battery pole piece, avoiding the occurrence of a short circuit caused by the falling of active materials during the subsequent lithium ion operation process, and improving the safety performance of lithium ion batteries.
[0066] This embodiment also provides a battery pole piece forming method, which includes the following steps:
[0067] S1: rolling the active material particles simultaneously to form a first film sheet and a second film sheet of the same thickness;
[0068] S2: rolling the first film and the second film onto the two sides of the substrate 100 respectively.
[0069] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the rolling of the active material and the forming of the battery pole piece are carried out in steps. First, the active material particles are rolled by the first pressing roller 41 and the second pressing roller 42 to form a first diaphragm, and then rolled by the third pressing roller 43 and the fourth pressing roller 44 to form a second diaphragm. The thickness of the first diaphragm and the second diaphragm are the same. Subsequently, the first diaphragm and the second diaphragm are rolled on both sides of the substrate 100 by the second pressing roller 42 and the third pressing roller 43 respectively, which can improve the consistency of the thickness of the first diaphragm and the second diaphragm, thereby ensuring that the thickness of the battery pole piece formed after the first diaphragm and the second diaphragm are rolled on the substrate 100 is uniform, avoiding the situation where the active material falls off and causes a short circuit during the subsequent operation of the lithium-ion battery, thereby improving the safety performance of the lithium-ion battery.
