[0003] The laser cutting area of the traditional laser cutting method is large, and the light path of the laser follows the route after the tab is formed. Due to the material belt jitter caused by high-speed laser cutting, the stability of the material belt is seriously affected, and then the cutting precision and efficiency of the tab are affected. This cutting method is fixed and cannot change the cutting shape online (a kind of lithium battery tab laser sheet making method).

[0004] However, as the basis of the entire lithium ion battery manufacturing, the tab manufacturing equipment and manufacturing method need to have good performance, and have high requirements on precision, stability, flexibility and production efficiency. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application is directed to the above-mentioned deficiencies, and proposes a laser cutting lithium battery tab method, which can realize online conversion of the size and type of the cutting tab by setting different tab size parameters and shape parameters; different laser energy areas are divided according to the material of the tab, which effectively reduces the generation of tab burrs and reduces the loss of laser energy; the distortion caused by the mechanical structure of the galvanometer is compensated by the measured compensation data, which effectively improves the cutting precision of the tab; by setting the tab speed ratio parameter, the effective cutting area of the laser in the X direction is compressed, so that the anti-shake mechanical components can be successfully installed in front of the processing plane, greatly reducing the jitter of the material belt, thereby improving the cutting precision of the tab.

[0006] The present application is realized at least by one of the following technical solutions.

[0007] A laser cutting lithium battery tab method is used to complete the cutting of various tab shapes; the entire tab pattern is segmented, and different speed ratio settings and laser parameter settings can be performed according to the subdivision path segment, including the following steps:

[0028] Further, take the right bottom arc of the tab as the starting point, and calculate the right bottom arc segment coordinates:

[0029] x_rb = x_arc_rb - r_bot * sin(m * angle_arc_rb)

[0030] y_rb = y_arc_rb + (r_bot - r_bot * cos(m * angle_arc_rb))

[0031] Wherein, r_bot represents the radius of the right bottom corner of the tab, x and y are the current point coordinates, x_arc_rb and y_arc_rb are the starting point of the right bottom arc, defined as (0, 0), i.e.:

[0032] x_arc_rb = 0, y_arc_rb = 0

[0033] m is the current segment number of the right bottom arc, angle_arc_rb is the radian of the single step of the starting point of the right bottom arc, which is calculated from the single step length S x and the radius r_bot of the right bottom arc:

[0034] angle_arc_rb = S x / r_bot

[0035] Calculate the right segment coordinates of the tab height:

[0036] y_rh = y + S y

[0037] wherein S x , S y denotes the step size in the X direction, the step size in the Y direction;

[0038] Calculate the right top arc segment coordinates:

[0039] x_rt = x_arc_rt - (r_top - r_top * cos(m * angle_arc_rt * R))

[0040] y_rt = y_arc_rt + r_top * sin(m * angle_arc_rt * R)

[0041] wherein r_top denotes the radius of the right top corner of the tab, and R denotes the tab speed ratio:

[0042] x_arc_rt = -r_bot, y_arc_rt = H2 - r_top

[0043] The radian of a single step of the right top arc starting point:

[0044] angle_arc_rt = S x / r_top

[0045] Calculate the tab top straight line coordinates:

[0046] x_t = x - S x

[0047] Calculate the left top arc segment coordinates:

[0048] x_lt = x_arc_lt - l_top * sin(m * angle_arc_lt * R)

[0049] y_lt = y_arc_lt - (l_top - l_top * cos(m * angle_arc_lt * R)) wherein l_top denotes the radius of the left top corner of the tab, and the left top arc starting point:

[0050] x_arc_lt = -M + l_top + l_bot, y_arc_lt = H2

[0051] The radian of a single step of the left top arc starting point:

[0052] angle_arc_lt = S x / l_top

[0053] Calculate the tab height left segment coordinates:

[0054] y_lh = y_lt - S y

[0055] Calculate the left bottom arc segment coordinate:

[0056] x_lb = x_arc_lb - (l_bot - l_bot * cos(m * angle_arc_lb))

[0057] y_lb = y_arc_lb - l_bot * sin(m * angle_arc_lb))

[0058] Wherein, l_bot represents the radius of the left bottom corner of the lug, the left bottom arc starting point:

[0059] x_arc_lb = -M + l_bot, y_arc_lb = l_bot single step radian of the left bottom arc starting point:

[0060] angle_arc_lb = S x / l_bot

[0061] Calculate the bottom straight line coordinate of the lug:

[0062] x_b = x_lb - S x

[0063] Based on the above theoretical coordinate points, add an offset value O to each x original coordinate:

[0064] x 偏 = x 原 + O * n

[0065] Wherein, n is the current lug segment number of the single lug.

[0066] Further, set the laser power W A , frequency P A of the top part A of the lug; B , frequency P B , laser power W CL , frequency P CL of the left thinning part C and the right thinning part C; CR , frequency P CR ; laser power W D , frequency P D of the base material part D, to generate the lug laser energy parameter data.

[0067] Further, set the laser power W A , frequency P A of the top part A of the lug:

[0068] W = W A , P = P A H2≤ y

[0069] In the formula, W and P represent the power and frequency of the current coordinate point, respectively; H2 is the tab height; y is the coordinate value of the current position;

[0070] Set the laser power W of the tab height part B B , frequency P B :

[0071] W = W B , P = P B H C + H D ≤ y ≤ H2

[0072] In the formula, H C represents the thinning height, which refers to the length of the area where the tab material transitions from the coating material to the aluminum foil material part; H D represents the substrate height, which refers to the length of the coating material above the baseline of the tab bottom;

[0073] Set the laser power W of the tab left thinning part C CL , frequency P CL :

[0074] W = W CL , P = P CL H D ≤ y ≤ H C + H D , x = -M + l_bot

[0078] Set the laser power W of the tab substrate part D D , frequency P D :

[0079] W = W D , P = P D y ≤ H D .

[0080] Further, in the state of the material belt being static, a square of a corresponding size is cut, and by measuring the size of each millimeter interval in the X and Y directions respectively, corresponding compensation data is made, and each coordinate point is subjected to galvanometer distortion compensation in the final coordinate production.

[0081] Further, the speed of laser cutting is dynamically changed with the speed of the conveying belt according to the return pulse of the encoder.

[0082] Further, the cut pole piece is moving, and the laser is controlled to periodically cut the moving pole piece in the machining plane

[0083] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0084] The method is simple and practical, and by setting different pole lug size parameters and shape parameters, online transformation of the pole lug size and shape can be realized, four right-angle pole lugs, four round-angle pole lugs, top straight bottom circle, top circle bottom straight, reverse pole lug and positioning hole and various shape pole lugs can be cut, and different production requirements can be met.

[0093] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are merely some examples of the present invention, and not all examples. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the examples in this invention without creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0094] This invention discloses a method for laser-cutting lithium battery tabs, comprising: setting corresponding parameters in a tab parameter setting interface based on the size and shape of the tab to be cut; selecting any tab shape from conventional tabs, reverse tabs, and positioning holes; and setting an appropriate tab speed ratio according to the selected shape; calculating the step size in the Y direction based on the trajectory accuracy and the tab speed ratio, with the step size in the X direction representing the trajectory accuracy; calculating the number of data segments for a single tab based on the total length of the tab and the trajectory accuracy; and then calculating the offset value that should be superimposed for one step size in the trajectory based on the total length of the tab and the number of data segments, thereby generating corresponding tab motion trajectory data; and dividing the entire trajectory into tab sections according to the different tab materials. The top section, the tab height section, the thinning section, and the substrate section each have their own laser parameters set, generating laser energy parameter data for the tabs. With the conveyor belt stationary, a square of a certain size is cut. Compensation data is generated by measuring the dimensions in the X and Y directions at millimeter intervals. Galvanometer distortion compensation is then applied to each coordinate point at the final coordinate production location. The compensated data is loaded into the motion control card, the conveyor belt is turned on, and the electrode to be cut moves. The laser cutting speed is dynamically adjusted based on the encoder's return value, changing with the conveyor belt speed. Clicking "start" controls the laser to periodically cut the moving electrode on the processing plane.

[0095] Example 1

[0096] This embodiment describes a laser cutting method for a conventionally shaped electrode tab. This embodiment can be used in a lithium battery electrode tab laser cutting machine, such as... Figure 1 The diagram shown illustrates the dimensional parameters of a standard electrode tab of a conventional shape. Figure 4 The diagram illustrates the division of different laser energy regions based on the electrode material. A represents the top portion of the electrode tab, B represents the height portion of the electrode tab, C represents the thinned portion of the electrode tab, and D represents the electrode tab substrate portion. Figure 5Figure showing the size of the cut double-sided tab for single piece coating, where W1 represents tab spacing, W2 represents tab width, H1 represents slurry protrusion height, H2 represents tab height, L1 represents coating width, Figure 6 The specific step method flowchart for this embodiment includes the following specific implementation.

[0097] Specifically, as shown in the tab shape of the general tab, Figure 1 the four corners of the top and bottom of the tab can be set as right angles or rounded corners as needed, without positioning holes or counter tabs. The corresponding tab parameters are input in the tab parameter sub-window in the tab parameter setting window, including the total length of the tab L, the bottom width of the tab M, the tab height H2, the left bottom corner radius l_bot, the left top corner radius l_top, the right bottom corner radius r_bot, and the right top corner radius r_top. The appropriate tab speed ratio is set so that the tab coordinates are limited within the processing range of the anti-shake firmware.

[0098] Specifically, in order to reduce the shaking of the material belt during high-speed transmission, an anti-shake fixture is installed between the galvanometer and the processing plane, which can effectively reduce the shaking of the material belt. However, due to the mechanical structure of the anti-shake fixture itself, the originally wide laser cutting range is compressed into a long strip, and the compressed coordinate direction is the X range, so a tab speed ratio R needs to be set. When walking in the Y direction, the step length is R times that of the X direction, that is, the laser speed in the Y direction is R times that in the X direction. The speed ratio R can be dynamically adjusted on the UI interface, so that the time required to walk the same Y direction path becomes shorter, and the offset value in the X direction also decreases, successfully compressing the X direction processing range, while keeping the X direction step length as a single step precision P. According to the track precision P and the tab speed ratio R, the Y direction step length is calculated:

[0099] S y = P * R

[0100] X direction step length:

[0101] S x = P

[0102] Divide the full length T of the single tab into X direction length T x and Y direction length T y , calculate the single tab data segment number S:

[0103] S = T x / S x + T y / S y

[0104] wherein the full length T of the tab is the circumference of the whole tab. The tab piece is moving, and the laser is controlled to periodically cut the moving tab on the processing plane.

[0105] The offset value O that should be superimposed in one step in the track is calculated from the total length L of the pole piece and the number of data segments S

[0106] O=S / L

[0107] Taking the right bottom circular arc of the pole lug as the starting point, the coordinates of the right bottom circular arc segment are calculated:

[0108] x_rb=x_arc_rb-r_bot*sin(m*angle_arc_rb)

[0109] y_rb=y_arc_rb+(r_bot-r_bot*cos(m*angle_arc_rb))

[0110] wherein r_bot represents the radius of the right bottom circular corner of the pole lug, x and y are the coordinates of the current point, x_arc_rb and y_arc_rb are the starting point of the right bottom circular arc, defined as (0, 0), i.e.:

[0111] x_arc_rb=0, y_arc_rb=0

[0112] m is the current segment number of the right bottom circular arc, angle_arc_rb is the radian of a single step of the starting point of the right bottom circular arc, which is calculated from the single step length S x and the radius r_bot of the right bottom circular arc:

[0113] angle_arc_rb=S x / r_bot

[0114] The coordinates of the right segment of the pole lug height are calculated:

[0115] y_rh=y+S y

[0116] wherein S x , S y represent the step length in the X direction and the step length in the Y direction;

[0117] The coordinates of the right top circular arc segment are calculated:

[0118] x_rt=x_arc_rt-(r_top-r_top*cos(m*angle_arc_rt*R))

[0119] y_rt=y_arc_rt+r_top*sin(m*angle_arc_rt*R)

[0120] wherein r_top represents the radius of the right top circular corner of the pole lug, and R represents the speed ratio of the pole lug;

[0121] The starting point of the right top circular arc is:

[0122] x_arc_rt = -r_bot, y_arc_rt = H2 - r_top

[0123] Single step of the arc of the right top arc start point:

[0124] angle_arc_rt = S x / r_top

[0125] Calculate the straight line coordinates of the top of the tab:

[0126] x_t = x - S x

[0127] Calculate the coordinates of the left top arc segment:

[0128] x_lt = x_arc_lt - l_top * sin(m * angle_arc_lt * R)

[0129] y_lt = y_arc_lt - (l_top - l_top * cos(m * angle_arc_lt * R))

[0130] where l_top represents the radius of the left top of the tab, and the left top arc start point:

[0131] x_arc_lt = -M + l_top + l_bot, y_arc_lt = H2

[0132] Single step of the arc of the left top arc start point:

[0133] angle_arc_lt = S x / l_top

[0134] Calculate the coordinates of the left segment of the tab height:

[0135] y_lh = y_lt - S y

[0136] Calculate the coordinates of the left bottom arc segment:

[0137] x_lb = x_arc_lb - (l_bot - l_bot * cos(m * angle_arc_lb))

[0138] y_lb = y_arc_lb - l_bot * sin(m * angle_arc_lb)

[0139] where l_bot represents the radius of the left bottom of the tab, and the left bottom arc start point:

[0140] x_arc_lb = -M + l_bot, y_arc_lb = l_bot

[0141] Single step radian of left bottom arc start point:

[0142] angle_arc_lb = S x / l_bot

[0143] Calculate the straight line coordinate of the bottom of the tab:

[0144] x_b = x_lb - S x

[0145] Based on the above theoretical coordinate points, add an offset value O to each x original coordinate:

[0146] x 偏 = x 原 + O*n

[0147] Where n is the current tab segment number of the single tab.

[0148] After adding the offset value O to each given x coordinate point, the tab motion trajectory data can be generated.

[0149] Specifically, the base material part of the bottom of the tab is coated, the part above the base material is aluminum foil, and there is a transition buffer zone between the coating and the aluminum foil. If a single tab is set with an overall frequency and power, when the power and frequency are small, the aluminum foil can be cut off, but the coating cannot be cut off, or it can be cut off but there will be a situation of burr or sticking edge; when the power and frequency are large, both the aluminum foil and the coating material can be cut off, but there will be obvious waste of laser energy at the aluminum foil. Therefore, in order to adapt to different material parts of the tab, the laser power W A , frequency P A of the top part A of the tab are set respectively; the laser power W B , frequency P B of the height part B of the tab; the laser power W CL , frequency P CL of the left thinning part C of the tab; the laser power W CR , frequency P CR of the right thinning part C of the tab; the laser power W D , frequency P D of the base material part D of the tab; the thinning height H C , the base material height H D . Through this optimization method, the situation of burr and sticking edge of the cut tab is successfully reduced, and the energy efficiency of the laser is effectively improved.

[0150] The laser power W A , frequency P A of the top part A of the tab are set:

[0151] W = W A , P = P A H2

[0152] wherein W, P represent the power and frequency of the current coordinate point respectively; H2 represents the tab height; y represents the coordinate value of the current position;

[0153] Setting the laser power W B , frequency P B of the tab height part B

[0154] W = W B , P = P B H C + H D ≤ y ≤ H2

[0155] wherein H C represents the thinning height, which refers to the length of the area where the tab material transitions from the coating material to the aluminum foil material part; H D represents the substrate height, which refers to the length of the coating material above the baseline of the bottom of the tab;

[0156] Setting the laser power W CL , frequency P CL of the tab left thinning part C

[0157] W = W CL , P = P CL H D ≤ y ≤ H C + H D , x = -M + l_bot

[0158] wherein M represents the tab bottom width, and l_bot represents the radius of the left bottom round corner of the tab;

[0159] Setting the laser power W CR , frequency P CR of the tab right thinning part C

[0160] W = W CR , P = P CR H D ≤ y ≤ H C + H D , x = -r_bot

[0161] Setting the laser power W D , frequency P D of the tab substrate part D

[0162] W = W D , P = P D y ≤ H D

[0163] Specifically, due to the mechanical principle of the galvanometer itself, the scanning angle of the galvanometer in X and Y directions has less error within the range of ±7°, and the error is larger when the position deviates from the center point beyond this angle range. Therefore, in the state of the material belt being static, a square of 40mm*40mm size is cut, and by measuring the size of X and Y directions of each 1mm interval respectively, the corresponding compensation data is made:

[0164] x_offset=x 理 / x 测

[0165] y_offset=y 理 / y 测

[0166] Wherein, x_offset is the x coordinate compensation ratio, y_offset is the y coordinate compensation ratio, x 理 is the theoretical coordinate value of x, x 测 is the measured coordinate value of x, y 理 is the theoretical coordinate value of y, y 测 is the measured coordinate value of y. According to the measured compensation text, the trajectory data is compensated for galvanometer distortion:

[0167] x=x*x_offset

[0168] y=y*y_offset

[0169] Specifically, the data is loaded to the motion control card, and the speed of laser cutting is controlled according to the return pulse of the encoder to change dynamically with the speed of the conveying belt. The specific method is to calculate the pulse change value in a single period first:

[0170] add_pulse=now_pulse-old_pulse

[0171] Wherein, now_pulse is the encoder pulse value of the current period, old_pulse is the pulse value of the last period, and add_pulse is the encoder pulse change value in a period. Then calculate the pulse accumulation in each period:

[0172] base_pulse=base_pulse+add_pulse

[0173] Wherein, base_pulse is the current pulse value of the single-chip microcomputer, and then the current data position is found according to the total pulse number:

[0174] data_run_num=base_pulse*data_total_num / total_pulse

[0175] Wherein, data_run_num is the current running data segment number, data_total_num is the total segment number of single tab data, total_pulse is the total pulse number of single tab pixel length, the value of which is determined by the pulse number per millimeter of the encoder mm_pulse and the total length of single tab L:

[0176] total_pulse = mm_pulse * L

[0177] The value of mm_pulse is determined by the pulse number of the encoder per round pulse_round and the stroke of the encoder per round len_round:

[0178] mm_pulse = pulse_round / len_round

[0179] Specifically, by Figure 5 According to the size diagram of the double-sided tab cut out by single tab coating, the system supports simultaneous processing of two channels, and the channel number for processing can be set on the main interface to control two sets of galvanometer devices and IPG laser devices respectively. Since the conveying direction of the material belt on the processing plane is the X direction, the two sets of galvanometer are placed with the X axis as the symmetry axis, therefore, taking channel one as the reference, channel two only needs to make the Y direction coordinate the negative value of channel one.

[0261] Specifically, in order to adapt to different material parts of the tab, the laser power W A and frequency P A of the tab top part A are set respectively; the laser power W B and frequency P B of the tab height part B; the laser power W CL and frequency P CL of the tab left thinning part C; the laser power W CR and frequency P CR of the tab right thinning part C; the laser power W D and frequency P D of the tab base material part D; the thinning height H C and the base material height H D ; the power and frequency of the negative tab part are consistent with those of the base material part. Through this optimization method, the cutting of the tab burr and the sticking edge is successfully reduced, and the energy efficiency of the laser is effectively improved.

[0273] Specifically, due to the mechanical principle of the galvanometer itself, the scanning angle of the galvanometer in the X and Y directions has less error within the range of ±7°, and the error is greater when the position deviates from the center point beyond this angle range. Therefore, in the state that the material belt is stationary, a square of 40mm*40mm size is cut, and by measuring the X and Y direction sizes of each 1mm interval respectively, corresponding compensation data is made:

[0274] x_offset = x 理 / x 测

[0275] y_offset = y 理 / y 测

[0276] Wherein, x_offset is the x coordinate compensation ratio, y_offset is the y coordinate compensation ratio, x 理 is the theoretical coordinate value of x, x 测 ​x is the measured coordinate value of x, y 理 y is the theoretical coordinate value of y, y 测 y is the measured coordinate value of y. According to the compensation text of measurement, the galvanometer distortion compensation is carried out on the track data:

[0277] x = x * x_offset

[0278] y = y * y_offset

[0279] Specifically, the data is loaded to the motion control card, and the speed of laser cutting is controlled according to the return pulse of the encoder to dynamically change with the speed of the conveying belt. The specific method is to first calculate the pulse change value in a single period:

[0280] add_pulse = now_pulse - old_pulse

[0281] Wherein, now_pulse is the encoder pulse value of the current period, old_pulse is the pulse value of the last period, and add_pulse is the encoder pulse change value in a period. Then calculate the pulse accumulation in each period:

[0282] base_pulse = base_pulse + add_pulse

[0283] Wherein, base_pulse is the current pulse value of the single-chip microcomputer, and then the current data position to be run is found according to the total pulse number:

[0284] data_run_num = base_pulse * data_total_num / total_pulse

[0285] Wherein, data_run_num is the current running data segment number, data_total_num is the total segment number of single-chip tab data, and total_pulse is the total pulse number of single-chip tab element length, which is determined by the pulse number per millimeter of the encoder mm_pulse and the total length L of the single-chip tab:

[0286] total_pulse = mm_pulse * L

[0287] The value of mm_pulse is determined by the single-turn pulse pulse_round of the encoder and the single-turn stroke len_round of the encoder:

[0288] mm_pulse = pulse_round / len_round

[0289] Specifically, from Figure 5The size of the cut double-sided tab can be known from the single-coating size specification diagram. The system supports double-channel simultaneous processing, and the channel number for processing can be set on the main interface to control two sets of galvanometer devices and IPG laser devices respectively. Since the conveying direction of the material belt on the processing plane is the X direction, and the two sets of galvanometer are placed with the X axis as the symmetry axis, therefore, taking channel one as the reference, channel two only needs to make the Y direction coordinate negative value of channel one.

[0290] Specifically, after starting the system, the laser can be controlled to periodically cut the moving pole piece on the processing plane.

[0374] By superimposing an offset value O at each given x-coordinate point, the electrode movement trajectory data can be generated.

[0375] Specifically, in order to accommodate different material parts of the electrode, the laser power W of the top part A of the electrode is set separately. A Frequency P A The laser power W at the height of the electrode portion B B Frequency P B ; Laser power W for the left thinning section of the electrode tab CL Frequency P CL ; Laser power W for the right-side thinned portion of the electrode CR Frequency P CR ; Laser power W of the electrode substrate part D D Frequency P D Thinning height H C substrate height H D This optimization method successfully reduced burrs and adhesion on the cut electrodes and effectively improved the laser's energy efficiency.

[0376] Set the laser power W at the top A of the electrode. A Frequency P A :

[0377] W = W A P = P A H2≤y

[0378] The laser power W is set at the height of the electrode portion B. B Frequency P B :

[0379] W = W B P = P B H C +H D ≤y≤H2

[0380] H C The thinning height refers to the length of the area where the tab material transitions from the coating material to the aluminum foil material; HD H represents the height of the substrate, which means the length of the coating material above the baseline of the bottom of the tab;

[0381] Laser power W of the left thinning part C of the tab is set CL , frequency P CL :

[0382] W = W CL , P = P CL H D ≤ y ≤ H C + H D , x = -M + l_bot

[0383] Laser power W of the right thinning part C of the tab is set CR , frequency P CR :

[0384] W = W CR , P = P CR H D ≤ y ≤ H C + H D , x = -r_bot

[0385] Laser power W of the substrate part D of the tab is set D , frequency P D :

[0386] W = W D , P = P D 0 ≤ y ≤ H D

[0387] Since the descending straight segment of the positioning hole is long, the positioning hole part uses S y step to walk, so the power and frequency of the positioning hole part are consistent with the height part of the tab, and in the rising and descending parts of the positioning hole, the power and frequency should be set to 0 to avoid laser light. Set the laser power of the positioning hole part:

[0388] W = 0, P = 0 - H d + F / 2 < y < 0

[0389] W = W B , P = P B - H d - F / 2 ≤ y ≤ -H d + F / 2

[0390] Specifically, due to the mechanical principle of the galvanometer itself, the scanning angle of the galvanometer in X and Y directions has less error within the range of ±7°, and the error is larger when the scanning angle is beyond the range. Therefore, when cutting a square of 40mm*40mm in size under the condition that the material belt is static, the corresponding compensation data is made by measuring the size of X and Y directions in each 1mm interval respectively:

[0391] x_offset=x 理 / x 测

[0392] y_offset=y 理 / y 测

[0393] wherein x_offset is the compensation ratio of x coordinate, y_offset is the compensation ratio of y coordinate, x 理 is the theoretical coordinate value of x, x 测 is the measured coordinate value of x, y 理 is the theoretical coordinate value of y, and y 测 is the measured coordinate value of y. According to the measured compensation text, the galvanometer distortion compensation is performed on the track data:

[0394] x=x*x_offset

[0395] y=y*y_offset

[0396] Specifically, the data is loaded to the motion control card, and the speed of the laser cutting is dynamically changed according to the return pulse of the encoder. Specifically, the pulse change value in a single period is calculated first:

[0397] add_pulse=now_pulse-old_pulse

[0398] wherein now_pulse is the encoder pulse value of the current period, old_pulse is the pulse value of the last period, and add_pulse is the encoder pulse change value in a period. Then, the pulse accumulation in each period is calculated:

[0399] base_pulse=base_pulse+add_pulse

[0400] wherein base_pulse is the current pulse value of the single-chip microcomputer. Then, the data position to be run currently is found according to the total pulse number:

[0401] data_run_num=base_pulse*data_total_num / total_pulse

[0402] Wherein, the data_run_num is the current running data segment number, the data_total_num is the single tab data total segment number, the total_pulse is the total pulse number of the single tab pixel length, the value is determined by the encoder pulse number per millimeter mm_pulse and the single tab total length L:

[0403] total_pulse = mm_pulse * L

[0404] The value of mm_pulse is determined by the encoder single round pulse pulse_round and the encoder single round stroke len_round:

[0405] mm_pulse = pulse_round / len_round

[0406] Specifically, by Figure 5 The size of the double-sided tab cut by single tab coating is shown in the figure, and the system supports double-channel simultaneous processing. The channel number of the processing can be set on the main interface, and two sets of galvanometer devices and IPG laser devices are controlled respectively. Since the conveying direction of the material belt on the processing plane is the X direction, and the two sets of galvanometer are placed with the X axis as the symmetry axis, therefore, taking channel one as the reference, channel two only needs to make the Y direction coordinate as the negative value of channel one.

[0407] Specifically, after starting the system, the laser can be controlled to move on the processing plane to periodically cut the pole piece.
