TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] With the vigorous promotion of new energy development by the country, the demand for lithium-ion power batteries in various industries is increasing. In the production process of lithium-ion power batteries, the positive and negative electrode sheets are overlapped to form an electrode sheet group. A diaphragm needs to be inserted between adjacent positive or negative electrode sheets to block them. After the positive and negative electrode sheets are separated by the diaphragm, they are cross-laminated to form the electrode sheet group of the battery. The laminated electrode sheet group needs to be heat pressed and solidified. After heat pressing, the electrode sheet group needs to be wrapped with multiple strips of adhesive tape to fix the electrode sheet group for subsequent processing. In the electrode sheet lamination section, the key core process is the cross-lamination of positive and negative electrode sheets and the insertion of a diaphragm between the cross-laminated positive and negative electrode sheets to separate them. The electrode sheet is in a continuous uncut state when it is delivered. Before the electrode sheet is laminated, it needs to be cut into independent sheet electrode sheets.
