Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of copper foil production equipment, and in particular to equipment for processing and assembling cathode roller blocking plates for copper foil production. Background Technology

[0002] The cathode roller is one of the key pieces of equipment in copper foil production. The formation of lithium-ion battery copper foil is essentially the result of electrodeposition and crystallization of copper ions on the surface of the cathode roller. This is a complex process related to the current distribution density, including the diffusion of copper ions to the cathode surface, the reduction of copper ions into copper metal atoms during cathode discharge, and the arrangement of copper atoms into a certain shape of metal crystal on the cathode. Therefore, to obtain copper foil with uniform thickness, it is essential to ensure that copper ions can be uniformly deposited on the cathode; that is, the uniform distribution of current on the roller surface is crucial. The only way to achieve this key technology is to ensure that the microstructure of the cathode roller surface material is uniform and fine. Therefore, to ensure normal copper foil production, the requirement of uniform current distribution on the surface of the cathode roller must be guaranteed.

[0003] Reference Figure 1 The cathode roller includes a main structure 12 and a blocking plate 11. The outer periphery of the main structure 12 is a titanium cylinder 121. The two ends of the main structure 12 have copper sleeves 122. The blocking plate 11 has a first through hole 111 in the center for the copper sleeve 122 to pass through. Each copper sleeve 122 is fitted with a blocking plate 11. The outer periphery of the blocking plate 11 has multiple second through holes 112. After the screw passes through the second through holes 112, it is threaded to the titanium cylinder 121 to fix the blocking plate 11 to the titanium cylinder 121.

[0004] Currently, one of the reasons affecting the uniform distribution of current on the cathode roller surface is the poor alignment of the perforations on the two end plates. Therefore, how to improve the alignment of the perforations on the two end plates is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to improve the alignment of the perforations on the two blocking plates, this application provides a processing and assembly device for a cathode roller blocking plate for copper foil production.

[0006] This application provides a processing and assembly device for cathode roller blocking plates in copper foil production, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A processing and assembly device for cathode roller blocking plates in copper foil production, comprising:

[0008] A guide assembly having a guide portion and multiple movable portions, wherein the movable portions are slidably connected to the guide portion in a first direction X;

[0009] At least two clamping devices, each of which is equipped with at least one of the movable parts, for moving with the movable parts in a first direction X; the clamping devices are used to clamp the blocking plate;

[0010] A drilling device having a second support member and a plurality of first opening assemblies, wherein the second support member is fixedly connected to the moving part to move with the moving part in a first direction X;

[0011] The first opening assembly is mounted on the second support member to move with the second support member in the first direction X; a plurality of the first opening assemblies are distributed circumferentially on the second support member along a first virtual circle, the central axis of the first virtual circle being parallel to the first direction X; the first opening assembly is used to drill holes in the end plate.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, two clamping devices each clamp a blocking plate, and the clamping devices are moved to make the two blocking plates contact each other. Then, multiple first hole-opening components simultaneously open multiple second perforations in the two blocking plates. After the holes are opened, the clamping devices are moved in the first direction X to separate the two blocking plates. Then, a titanium cylinder is placed between the two blocking plates, and the two blocking plates are fixed to the titanium cylinder with screws. During the period between drilling the second perforations and fixing the blocking plates to the titanium cylinder, since the two blocking plates do not move, and since the second perforations on the two blocking plates are opened using the same hole structure, the coaxiality and alignment of the second perforations of the two blocking plates installed on the titanium cylinder can be ensured.

[0013] Optionally, the drilling device further includes a second hole-opening assembly, which is mounted on the second support member to move with the second support member in the first direction X. The second hole-opening assembly has a hole centerline that coincides with the central axis of the first virtual circle, so that the second hole-opening assembly opens a hole on the end plate that is coaxial with the first virtual circle.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the coaxiality of the first through hole on the two end plates can be improved by the second opening component opening the first through hole on the two end plates.

[0015] Optionally, it also includes an outer edge correction device, which includes a third support and a correction assembly;

[0016] The correction component includes a third linear drive and a cutting blade; the third linear drive is rotatably connected to the third support along the circumference of the first virtual circle.

[0017] The cutting blade is connected to the third linear drive member so that it rotates circumferentially along the axis of the first virtual circle with the third linear drive member.

[0018] The third linear drive is used to drive the cutting blade to move along the diameter of the first virtual circle.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, when correcting the outer edges of the two blocking plates, the third support member is moved so that the third linear drive member is coaxial with the first virtual circle along the rotation axis of the third support member; then, during the circumferential rotation of the third linear drive member along the first virtual circle, the cutting blade is driven to move linearly by the third linear drive member, which can correct the outer edges of the blocking plate.

[0020] Regarding the installation position of the third support member, it can be connected to the guide assembly or directly overlapped with the ground; by setting an outer edge correction device, the outer edges of the two end plates can be made coplanar.

[0021] Optionally, the outer edge correction device further includes a positioning component attached to the third support member. The positioning component includes a plurality of abutting members distributed circumferentially along the second virtual circle. Each abutting member can move back and forth on the third support member along a diameter of the second virtual circle to change the distance of the abutting member from the central axis of the second virtual circle.

[0022] When the distance between the abutting member and the central axis of the second virtual circle increases, the positioning component changes from a retracted posture to an expanded posture.

[0023] When the distance between the abutting member and the central axis of the second virtual circle decreases, the positioning component changes from an expanding posture to a contracting posture.

[0024] When the positioning component is in an expanded posture within the first perforation, the first virtual circle and the second virtual circle are coaxial.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, before correcting the outer edge of the blocking plate, the positioning component is inserted into the first through hole. Then, by moving the clamping member along the third support member, the positioning component is adjusted to an expanded posture, so that the first virtual circle and the second virtual circle are coaxial. Finally, the correction component corrects the outer edge of the blocking plate. By setting the positioning component, the first virtual circle and the second virtual circle can be adjusted to be coaxial more accurately.

[0026] Optionally, the positioning component further includes a guide ring with multiple guide holes through it. Each of the abutting members passes through one of the guide holes. Guided by the inner wall of the guide hole, when the abutting member moves along the guide ring, the positioning component changes between a retracted configuration and an expanded posture.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution and setting a guide ring, the movement of the clamping part is guided, preventing the clamping part from shifting during the sliding process.

[0028] Optionally, the positioning assembly further includes a rotating shaft, a third motor, and multiple wedge blocks; the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the third support member, and the rotating shaft is parallel to the first direction X along the rotation axis of the third support member; the third motor is connected between the rotating shaft and the third support member to drive the rotating shaft to rotate along the third support member; the wedge blocks are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, and the multiple wedge blocks are distributed circumferentially along the second virtual circle; each wedge block has a wedge-shaped surface, and the abutment contacts the wedge-shaped surface; as the wedge blocks rotate with the rotating shaft, the wedge-shaped surface pushes the abutment to move toward a side away from the axis of the second virtual circle, so that the positioning assembly changes from a retracted posture to an expanded posture;

[0029] The positioning component further includes an elastic reset member, which is fixedly connected between the abutment and the guide ring. In a recoverable deformation state, the elastic reset member has a force that drives the abutment to move toward one side of the second virtual circular axis.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, when the positioning component needs to be adjusted from the retracted posture to the expanded posture, the third motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate in the forward direction, and multiple wedge blocks rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft. During the rotation of the wedge blocks, the wedge surface will push the pusher to move away from the second virtual circular axis to adjust the posture of the positioning component.

[0031] When the positioning component needs to be adjusted from the expanded posture to the retracted posture, the third motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate in the opposite direction. As the wedge block rotates with the rotating shaft, it will give way to the force that allows the pressing part to move toward the second virtual circular axis. At this time, as the elastic reset part returns to normal, the elastic reset part will drive the pushing part to move toward the second virtual circular axis to adjust the posture of the positioning component.

[0032] The inclusion of a third motor, shaft, wedge block, and elastic reset component allows for convenient adjustment of the positioning assembly's posture.

[0033] Optionally, it also includes a first moving device, which includes a fourth support member and a plurality of elastic members. The main extension and retraction direction of the elastic members is arranged perpendicular to the axis of the second virtual circle. One end of the elastic member is connected to the fourth support member, and the other end is connected to the third support member, so that the fourth support member is elastically connected to the third support member through the elastic member.

[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, the first moving device provides support for the outer edge correction device. In use, by adjusting the position of the first moving device, the positioning component in the retracted state is located in the first perforation. During the process of the positioning component changing from the retracted posture to the expanded posture, the second virtual circle will adaptively adjust to a state coaxial with the first virtual circle. By setting an elastic element, the position of the entire outer edge correction component can be adaptively adjusted by the positioning component without the need for additional, overly precise adjustments to the positions of the third and fourth support components.

[0035] Optionally, the first moving device further includes a first cross slide; one of the driving directions of the first cross slide is parallel to the first direction X, and the other driving direction is parallel to the second direction Y; the fourth support member is directly or indirectly fixedly connected to one of the slides of the first cross slide, and the first cross slide is used to drive the fourth support member to move in the first direction X or the second direction Y between two adjacent clamping devices.

[0036] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first cross slide drives the fourth support member to move along the second direction Y, it can move the outer edge correction device to the side where the two blocking plates are close to each other, or move the outer edge correction device to the side where the two blocking plates are far apart; when the first cross slide drives the fourth support member to move along the first direction X, it can move the positioning component into the first through hole.

[0037] In use, the outer edge correction device is moved between the two blocking plates. Then, the positioning component is inserted into the first through hole of one of the blocking plates and the outer edge of the blocking plate is corrected. After the correction is completed, the outer edge correction device is adjusted to the side of the uncorrected blocking plate away from the corrected blocking plate. Then, the uncorrected blocking plate is corrected.

[0038] By setting the first cross slide, the outer edge correction device can be moved easily; in conjunction with the self-adaptive capability of the positioning component, even after the outer edge correction device is moved, it can be ensured that the correction of the two blocking plates is based on the same central axis.

[0039] Optionally, it also includes a second cross slide and a support base; one of the driving directions of the second cross slide is parallel to the first direction X, and the other driving direction is parallel to the second direction Y; the support base is fixedly connected to one of the slides of the second cross slide, and the second cross slide is used to drive the support base to move in the first direction X or the second direction Y between two adjacent clamping devices.

[0040] By adopting the above technical solution, after modifying the outer edge of the blocking plate, the main structure of the cathode roller is placed between the two clamping devices, that is, the main structure is placed between the two blocking plates; then, the two blocking plates are moved in the first direction X so that the copper sleeve passes through the first through hole; finally, the blocking plate and the titanium cylinder are fixed with screws; by setting the second cross slide, it is easy for personnel to move the main structure between the two blocking plates.

[0041] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0042] 1. This application ensures the coaxiality and alignment of the second perforations of the two end plates installed on the titanium cylinder;

[0043] 2. This application can improve the coaxiality of the first perforation on the two end plates;

[0044] 3. By setting up elastic elements, the position of the entire outer edge correction component can be adaptively adjusted through the positioning component without the need for additional, overly precise adjustments to the positions of the third and fourth support components.

[0058] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 2-12 This application will be described in further detail. For ease of description, this application introduces directional terms such as first direction, second direction, and third direction to form a three-dimensional reference direction. The directional terms used, such as "first direction, second direction, and third direction", can be specifically referred to in the figure, where X represents the first direction X, Y represents the second direction Y, Z represents the third direction Z, and the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other.

[0059] This application discloses an assembly apparatus for processing and assembling a cathode roller plugging plate for copper foil production. (Refer to...) Figure 2The equipment for processing and assembling cathode roller plugs for copper foil production includes a clamping device 2. The clamping device 2 is used to clamp the plug 11 raw material. The clamping device 2 includes a first support member 21 and multiple clamping components 22. The first support member 21 has a first clearance hole 211. The first clearance hole 211 penetrates the first support member 21 in the first direction X. The first clearance hole 211 is used to accommodate the plug 11.

[0060] Multiple clamping components 22 are distributed along the first virtual circle, and preferably evenly distributed. Each clamping component 22 includes a first linear drive 221 and a push block 222. The first linear drive 221 is connected between the push block 222 and the first support member 21. The first linear drive 221 is used to drive the push block 222 to move along the diameter of the first virtual circle, so that the block plate 11 is clamped by the multiple push blocks 222. In this embodiment, the first linear drive 221 is preferably a hydraulic cylinder. The cylinder body of the first linear drive 221 is fixedly connected to the first support member 21, and the piston rod of the first linear drive 221 is fixedly connected to the push block 222, so as to drive the push block 222 to move back and forth along the diameter of the first virtual circle, thereby clamping the outer peripheral wall of the block plate 11 by the multiple push blocks 222.

[0061] Reference Figure 3 Multiple clamping devices 2 are provided, and the multiple clamping devices 2 are arranged side by side in the first direction X. In some embodiments of this application, two clamping devices 2 are provided. In order to adjust the distance between the two clamping devices 2 in the first direction X, in some embodiments of this application, a guide component 3 is also included.

[0062] The guide assembly 3 includes a guide part 31 and a moving part 32. The moving part 32 can slide along the guide part 31 in the first direction X. Specifically, the guide part 31 is a dovetail-shaped guide rail, and the long side of the guide part 31 is parallel to the first direction X. The moving part 32 is provided with a dovetail groove 321 that matches the guide part 31. The guide part 31 is located in the dovetail groove 321 to realize the sliding action of the moving part 32 along the guide part 31 in the first direction X.

[0063] To improve stability, two guide sections 31 are provided, and the two guide sections 31 are arranged in parallel. Each guide section 31 is slidably connected with multiple moving parts 32. The moving parts 32 are used to connect with other structures so as to move synchronously with other structures in the first direction X. In order to fix the two guide sections 31, the guide assembly 3 also includes a base plate 33, and the two guide sections 31 are fixedly connected to the base plate 33 side by side.

[0064] Reference Figure 3 The first support member 21 in the clamping device 2 is fixedly connected to the moving part 32 so as to guide the movement of the first support member 21 in the first direction X through the cooperation between the moving part 32 and the guide part 31.

[0065] Reference Figure 4 In this application, in order to improve the coaxiality of the second through holes 112 on the two end plates 11, one way is to make holes in the two end plates 11 through the same cutting structure. For this purpose, in some embodiments of this application, a drilling device 4 is also included, which includes a second support member 41 and a first hole-making assembly 42.

[0066] The first drilling assembly 42 includes a first motor 421 and a first drill bit 422. The housing of the first motor 421 is connected to the second support member 41, and the first drill bit 422 is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 421 so that the first motor 421 drives the first drill bit 422 to rotate. In this embodiment, the first drill bit 422 is coaxially fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 421 by a key connection. The rotation axis of the first drill bit 422 is parallel to the first direction X. During the process of the first motor 421 driving the first drill bit 422 to rotate, the second support member 41 slides along the first direction X, so that a hole can be drilled in the plug plate 11. In order to ensure that the first drill bit 422 can completely penetrate the two plug plates 11, the length of the first drill bit 422 in the first direction X is greater than the sum of the lengths of the two plug plates 11.

[0067] Reference Figure 4 In order to drive the drilling device 4 to move in the first direction X, the second support member 41 is fixedly connected to the moving part 32 so that the second support member 41 and the moving part 32 move synchronously in the first direction X. In order to drive the second support member 41 to move in the first direction X, the drilling device 4 also includes a second linear drive member 43. The second linear drive member 43 is connected between the base plate 33 and the second support member 41 to provide power for the movement of the second support member 41 in the first direction X. In this embodiment, the second support member 41 is a cylinder, the cylinder body of the second linear drive member 43 is fixedly connected to the base plate 33, and the piston rod of the second linear drive member 43 is fixedly connected to the second support member 41.

[0068] Reference Figure 5 In order to make the first through hole 111 in the blocking plate 11, the drilling device 4 also includes a second hole-making assembly 44. The second hole-making assembly 44 includes a second motor 441 and a second drill bit 442. The housing of the second motor 441 is fixedly connected to the second support member 41. The output shaft of the second motor 441 is coaxially fixedly connected to the second drill bit 442 so that the second drill bit 442 is driven to rotate by the second motor 441. The rotation axis of the second drill bit 442 is parallel to the first direction X, and the rotation axis of the second drill bit 442 coincides with the axis of the first virtual circle. That is to say, multiple first drill bits 422 are evenly distributed in the rotation circumference of the second drill bit 442. By mounting the first drill bit 422 and the second drill bit 442 on the same structure, the drilling accuracy can be reduced due to repeated movement of the blocking plate 11.

[0069] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 After the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 112 are made on the blocking plate 11, the outer edges of the two blocking plates 11 need to be corrected to ensure that the outer edges of the two blocking plates 11 are the same size. For this purpose, in some embodiments of this application, an outer edge correction device 5 is also included. The outer edge correction device 5 includes a third support member 51, a positioning component 52 and a correction component 53.

[0070] Reference Figure 7 The positioning component 52 includes multiple abutting members 521. The multiple abutting members 521 are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the second virtual circle. The abutting members 521 can slide relative to the third support member 51 and can slide along the diameter of the second virtual circle. Through the sliding of the abutting members 521 relative to the third support member 51, the positioning component 52 can change between a retracted configuration and an expanded posture. During the process of the positioning component 52 changing from the retracted posture to the expanded posture, the distance between the multiple abutting members 521 and the central axis of the second virtual circle gradually increases. During the process of the change from the expanded posture to the retracted posture, the distance between the multiple abutting members 521 and the central axis of the second virtual circle gradually decreases.

[0071] When the positioning component 52 is in the retracted position, after the positioning component 52 is inserted into the first through hole 111 on the blocking plate 11, a gap is formed between the abutment 521 and the inner wall of the first through hole 111, so that the positioning component 52 can be inserted and removed in the first through hole 111.

[0072] When the positioning component 52 is in the expanded position, after the positioning component 52 is inserted into the first through hole 111 on the blocking plate 11, the second virtual circle is coaxial with the first virtual circle, and each clamping member 521 abuts against the inner wall of the first through hole 111, so that the entire positioning component 52 is fixed to the blocking plate 11.

[0073] Reference Figure 7 In order to guide the sliding of the third support member 51 and the clamping member 521, the positioning assembly 52 also includes a guide ring 522. The guide ring 522 is fixedly connected to the third support member 51. Multiple guide holes 5221 are opened through the ring wall of the guide ring 522. Each clamping member 521 passes through one guide hole 5221 and can slide in the guide hole 5221 so that the positioning assembly 52 can change between the retracted posture and the expanded posture.

[0074] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8To drive the multiple abutting members 521 to slide along the guide ring 522, so that the positioning assembly 52 changes from a retracted posture to an expanded posture, in some embodiments of this application, the positioning assembly 52 further includes a rotating shaft 523 and multiple wedge blocks 524. The rotating shaft 523 is rotatably connected to the third support member 51, and the rotating shaft 523 along the rotation axis of the third support member 51 coincides with the central axis of the second virtual circle; the multiple wedge blocks 524 are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the second virtual circle, and the wedge blocks 524 are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 523 so as to rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft 523. Each wedge block 524 has a wedge-shaped surface 5241, and each abutting member 521 has a wedge-shaped surface 5241 on one side near the central axis of the second virtual circle. When the wedge surface 5241 of a wedge block 524 comes into contact with the wedge surface 5241, as the rotating shaft 523 rotates in the forward direction, the wedge surface 5241 pushes the push block 222 to move toward the side away from the central axis of the second virtual circle, so as to adjust the positioning component 52 from the retracted posture to the expanded posture; the positioning component 52 also includes a third motor 525, the housing of the third motor 525 is fixedly connected to the third support member 51, the output shaft of the third motor 525 passes through the third support member 51 and is coaxially fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 523, the output shaft of the third motor 525 can rotate along the third support member 51 so that the rotating shaft 523 is driven by the third motor 525 to rotate along the third support member 51.

[0075] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 When adjusting the positioning component 52 from an expanded posture to a retracted posture, the rotating shaft 523 is rotated in the opposite direction. During the reverse rotation of the rotating shaft 523, the wedge block 524 makes room for the clamping member 521 to move toward the central axis of the second virtual circle. In order to drive the clamping member 521 toward the central axis of the second virtual circle, in some embodiments of this application, the positioning component 52 also includes an elastic reset member 526, so that the elastic reset member 526 applies a force to the clamping member 521 to move toward the central axis of the second virtual circle. In this embodiment, the elastic reset member 526 is a spring. One end of the elastic reset member 526 is directly or indirectly fixedly connected to the clamping member 521, and the other end is fixedly connected to the guide ring 522. In a recoverable deformation state, the elastic reset member 526 has a force to drive the clamping member 521 to move toward the central axis of the second virtual circle. That is, during the process of the elastic reset member 526 changing from a recoverable deformation state to a normal state, it can drive the positioning component 52 from an expanded posture to a retracted posture. It should be understood that the forward rotation and reverse rotation mentioned in this application do not represent directions specifically indicated by counterclockwise and clockwise. The forward and reverse rotation mentioned in this application are only to show that the two rotations are in opposite directions.

[0076] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9During operation, after the positioning component 52 of the expanded posture is inserted into the first through hole 111 on the block plate 11, the correction component 53 corrects the outer edges of the two block plates 11. The correction component 53 includes a cutting blade 531, which can rotate along the second virtual circle and move along the diameter of the second virtual circle to correct the outer edges of the block plate 11 at different diameters. In order to realize the movement of the cutting blade 531, in some embodiments of this application, the correction component 53 also includes a toothed ring 532, a gear 533 and a fourth motor 534.

[0077] Reference Figure 9 The central axis of the gear ring 532 is coaxial with the second virtual circle. The gear ring 532 is rotatably connected to the third support member 51 about its own central axis as the rotation axis 523. The cutting blade 531 is mounted on the gear ring 532 so that it rotates with the gear ring 532 along the circumference of the second virtual circle. The gear 533 is rotatably connected to the third support member 51. The gear 533 is parallel to the central axis of the second virtual circle along the rotation axis of the third support member 51. The gear 533 meshes with the gear ring 532. The housing of the fourth motor 534 is fixedly connected to the third support member 51. The output shaft of the fourth motor 534 passes through the third support member 51 and is coaxially fixedly connected to the gear 533. The output shaft of the fourth motor 534 can rotate along the third support member 51 so that the fourth motor 534 drives the gear 533 to rotate.

[0078] Reference Figure 9 In order to drive the cutting blade 531 to move along the diameter of the second virtual circle, in some embodiments of this application, a third linear drive member 535 is also included. The third linear drive member 535 is installed between the cutting blade 531 and the toothed ring 532 so that the cutting blade 531 can be driven by the third linear drive member 535. In this embodiment, the third linear drive member 535 is a linear motor with a battery. The installation method of the third linear drive member 535 with the toothed ring 532 and the cutting blade 531 is mainly to enable the cutting blade 531 to move. This application does not make specific limitations.

[0079] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9 Before correcting the outer edge of the blocking plate 11, the clamping device 2 is separated from the blocking plate 11, and the correction of the outer edge of the blocking plate 11 can begin. During the correction, the positioning component 52 inserted into the first through hole 111 is first adjusted to the expansion posture so that the first virtual circle and the second virtual circle are coaxial. Then, the fourth motor 534 drives the gear 533 to rotate, the gear 533 drives the gear ring 532 to rotate, and the gear ring 532 drives the cutting blade 531 to rotate. During this process, the third linear drive component 535 drives the cutting blade 531 to move, so that the correction operation of the outer edge of the blocking plate 11 can be realized.

[0080] Reference Figure 10In order to facilitate the movement of the entire outer edge correction device 5, in some embodiments of this application, a first moving device 6 is also included. The first moving device 6 includes a first cross slide 61, a first moving seat 62, a fourth support member 63 and a plurality of elastic telescopic members 65.

[0081] Reference Figure 10 and Figure 11 One of the driving directions of the first cross slide 61 is parallel to the first direction X, and the other driving direction is parallel to the second direction Y. The first movable seat 62 is fixedly connected to the top slide of the first cross slide 61 so that the first movable seat 62 can be moved along the first direction X or the second direction Y by the first cross slide 61. The fourth support member 63 is directly or indirectly fixedly connected to the first movable seat 62 so that it moves synchronously with the first movable seat 62. The third support member 51 is connected to the fourth support member 63 through multiple elastic telescopic members 65 so that the first cross slide 61 can drive the outer edge correction device 5 to move along the first direction X in the first direction X, so as to realize the insertion and removal operation of the positioning component 52 in the first through hole 111. The first cross slide 61 can drive the outer edge correction device 5 to move in the second direction Y so as to insert the outer edge correction device 5 between the two clamping devices 2.

[0082] Reference Figure 11 The elastic telescopic component 65 includes an elastic component 651, which is a spring. The elastic component 651 is connected between the third support component 51 and the fourth support component 63. Through the setting of the elastic component 651, the third support component 51 is elastically connected to the fourth support component 63. After the positioning component 52 in the retracted posture is inserted into the first through hole 111, during the process of adjusting the positioning component 52 from the retracted posture to the expanded posture, the positioning component 52 will adapt to the state where the second virtual circle is coaxial with the first virtual circle, so as to ensure that the outer peripheral wall of the corrected blocking plate 11 is coaxial with the first virtual circle.

[0083] Reference Figure 11To improve the stability of the third support member 51, in this embodiment, the third support member 51 is rectangular, and the fourth support member 63 is a rectangular frame, with the third support member 51 located on the inner periphery of the fourth support member 63. In the second direction Y, an elastic member 651 with a main extension direction parallel to the second direction Y is connected between the fourth support member 63 and the third support member 51. In the third direction Z, an elastic member 651 with a main extension direction parallel to the third direction Z is also connected between the fourth support member 63 and the third support member 51. Based on the material characteristics of the spring, the elastic member 651 can not only extend and retract in the main extension direction but may also bend, thus satisfying the movement of the third support member 51 at various angles perpendicular to the first direction X. To facilitate differentiation of the elastic member 651, the elastic member 651 with a main extension direction parallel to the second direction Y is named the transverse elastic member 651, and the elastic member 651 with a main extension direction parallel to the third direction Z is named the longitudinal elastic member 651.

[0084] Reference Figure 11 To prevent the third support member 51 from tipping over the fourth support member 63, in some embodiments of this application, the elastic telescopic member 65 further includes a telescopic rod 652 having a fixed section 6521 and a movable section 6522. The fixed section 6521 can slide linearly along the movable section 6522 to realize the telescopic rod 652's extension and retraction process. One end of the telescopic rod 652 is connected to the third support member 51, and the other end is connected to the fourth support member 63. Each telescopic rod 652 is used in conjunction with an elastic member 651 to guide the main extension and retraction direction of the elastic member 651 and prevent the elastic member 651 from bending. Specifically, the movable section 6522 of the telescopic rod 652 is fixedly connected to the third support member 51, the fixed section 6521 of the telescopic rod 652 is connected to the fourth support member 63, the elastic member 651 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the movable section 6522, and one end of the elastic member 651 is fixedly connected to the third support member 51, and the other end is fixedly connected to the fixed section 6521.

[0085] Reference Figure 11 In order to avoid the third support member 51 being unable to move due to the presence of the telescopic rod 652, the fixed section 6521 of the telescopic rod 652 is linearly slidably connected to the fourth support member 63. Regarding the connection structure between the fixed section 6521 and the fourth support member 63, this application does not make specific limitations, as long as the fixed section 6521 can slide linearly along the fourth support member 63.

[0086] Regarding the sliding direction of the fixed segment 6521 along the fourth support member 63:

[0087] The telescopic rod 652, connected to the transverse elastic member 651, slides along the fourth support member 63 in the third direction Z;

[0088] The telescopic rod 652, connected to the longitudinal elastic member 651, slides along the fourth support member 63 in the second direction Y.

[0089] Reference Figure 12 After the outer edge of the blocking plate 11 is corrected, each clamping device 2 clamps one blocking plate 11. Then, the outer edge correction device 5 is removed, and the first moving device 6 moves the outer edge correction device 5 to the outside of the two blocking plates 11. Next, the main body structure 12 of the cathode roller needs to be moved between the two blocking plates 11. In order to facilitate the movement of the main body structure 12 of the cathode roller, in some embodiments of this application, a second moving device 7 is also included. The second moving device 7 includes a second cross slide 71 and a support seat 72. Specifically, one driving direction of the second moving device 7 is parallel to the first direction X, and the other driving direction is parallel to the second direction Y. The support seat 72 is directly or indirectly fixedly connected to the top slide of the second cross slide 71 so that the support seat 72 slides along the first direction X or the second direction Y under the driving cylinder of the second cross slide 71.

[0090] When connecting the main body structure 12 of the cathode roller to the blocking plate 11, the main body structure 12 of the cathode roller is placed on the support base 72. The second cross slide 71 drives the support base 72 to move along the second direction Y, so as to place the main body structure 12 of the cathode roller between the two blocking plates 11. Then, the blocking plate 11 is moved along the first direction X by moving the clamping device 2, so as to put the blocking plate 11 on the copper sleeve 122. Finally, the blocking plate 11 is fixed to the titanium cylinder 121 with screws.

[0091] Reference Figure 12 In order to prevent the main body structure 12 of the cathode roller from sliding on the support 72, the upper surface of the support 72 is also provided with an installation groove 721 that is adapted to the main body structure 12.

[0092] The implementation principle of the equipment for processing and assembling cathode roller plugs for copper foil production according to an embodiment of this application is as follows:

[0093] Step 1: Clamp each of the two blocking plates 11 with a clamping device 2, and move the clamping device 2 in the first direction X so that the two blocking plates 11 come into contact;

[0094] Step 2: Use the first hole-opening assembly 42 to open the second through holes 112 on the two end plates 11; use the second hole-opening assembly 44 to open the first through holes 111 on the two end plates 11; after the holes are opened, remove the drilling device 4.

[0095] Step 3: Move the clamping device 2 in the first direction X to separate the two blocking plates 11. The distance between the two blocking plates 11 is preferably large enough for the main body structure 12 of the cathode roller to be inserted. The movement of the clamping device 2 in the first direction X can be driven manually or by other electric drive structures. This application does not make any specific limitation on this.

[0096] Step 4: Drive the positioning component 52 to move into the first through hole 111 via the first cross slide 61. Then, adjust the positioning component 52 from the retracted posture to the expanded posture so that the blocking plate 11 is fixed to the positioning component 52.

[0097] Step 5: Remove the clamping device 2 that is holding the first blocking plate 11, so that the clamping device 2 is separated from the blocking plate 11;

[0098] Step 6: The correction component 53 corrects the outer edge of the first blocking plate 11. After the correction is completed, the clamping device 2 used to clamp the first blocking plate 11 clamps the blocking plate 11 again.

[0099] Step 7: Remove the positioning component 52 from the first blocking plate 11, and drive the positioning component 52 to move into the first through hole 111 of the second blocking plate 11 by the first cross slide 61. After adjusting the positioning component 52 to the expanded posture, fix it to the blocking plate 11. Then, after removing the clamping device 2, correct the outer edge of the second blocking plate 11. After the correction is completed, clamp the second blocking plate 11 again by the clamping device 2. Finally, remove the outer edge correction device 5.

[0100] S8: Place the main structure 12 on the support base 72, and move the main structure 12 between the two blocking plates 11 by the second cross slide 71. Then, push the blocking plate 11 to slide in the first direction X to insert the sleeve into the first through hole 111. Finally, fix the blocking plate 11 to the titanium cylinder 121 with screws.

[0101] The cathode roller is processed using the aforementioned processing and assembly equipment. After the blocking plate 11 is processed, the blocking plate 11 is fixed to both ends of the titanium cylinder 121.

[0102] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
