DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0078] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the inventor of this case has proposed the technical solution of the present invention after long-term research and extensive practice. The technical solution, its implementation process and principle will be further explained as follows.

[0080] The unwinding mechanism 2 is at least used to unwind the lithium metal strip to provide the lithium metal strip; and can be adjusted in real time according to the deviation of the lithium metal strip;

[0081] The main traction mechanism 16 is at least used to pull the material strip to sequentially pass through the unwinding and correcting mechanism 3, the lithium metal tension detection mechanism 6, the traveling and correcting mechanism 9, and the intelligent material storage mechanism 11 and then enter the pole piece laser cutting mechanism 14;

[0082] The unwinding deviation correction mechanism 3 is at least used to monitor whether the first designated portion of the material strip unwound by the unwinding mechanism 2 is in a set position, and when the first designated portion of the material strip deviates from the first set position, cooperates with the unwinding mechanism 2 to adjust the position of the material roll so that the first designated portion of the material strip reaches the first set position.

[0083] The lithium metal tension detection mechanism 6 is at least used to detect the tension of the material strip, and adjust the working parameters of the unwinding mechanism 2 according to the tension detection result so that the tension of the material strip reaches a set value.

[0084] The traveling deviation correcting mechanism 9 is at least used to detect and adjust the position of the second designated portion of the material belt during traveling, so that the second designated portion of the material belt is maintained at the second set position during traveling.

[0085] The intelligent material storage mechanism 11 is used to store at least part of the material strip.

[0086] The pole piece laser cutting mechanism 14 is at least used to cut the received material strip to form a pole piece.

[0087] The pole piece transfer mechanism is at least used to transfer the pole pieces output by the pole piece laser cutting mechanism 14 to the pole piece detection mechanism and the pole tab laser cutting mechanism 22 in sequence.

[0088] The pole piece detection mechanism is at least used to detect the pole piece to determine whether the pole piece has defects.

[0089] The pole tab laser cutting mechanism 22 is at least used to cut the pole tab on the pole piece.

[0090] On the basis of the above, the unwinding mechanism 2 includes a first adjustment platform 2001, a first correction component 2002 and a first power component 2003; the first correction component 2002 is fixed to the first adjustment platform 2001, and the first power component 2003 is placed at one end of the first correction component 2002.

[0091] In some embodiments, the unwinding correction mechanism 3 includes a translation component 3001, a non-powered roller correction component 3002 and a sensor detection component 3003. The translation component 3001 is provided with a transverse guide rail, and limit blocks are provided at both ends of the guide rail. The non-powered roller correction component 3002 is placed above the transverse guide rail. The non-powered roller correction component 3002 is connected to the unwinding mechanism 2 through a correction connecting rod, and the sensor detection component 3003 is located above the non-powered roller correction component 3002.

[0092] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, a lithium metal unwinding and film-making system includes an unwinding mechanism 2, an unwinding correction mechanism 3, an anti-static mechanism 4, a belt connection platform mechanism 5, a first tension detection mechanism 6, an iron removal mechanism 8, a traveling correction mechanism 9, an anti-static dust suction mechanism 10, an intelligent material storage mechanism 11, an auxiliary drive mechanism 13, a pole piece laser cutting mechanism 14, a main traction mechanism 16, a suction belt separation traction mechanism 17, a vacuum conveyor belt line 18, a high-speed turntable mechanism 19, a CCD positioning detection mechanism 20, a pole ear laser cutting mechanism 22 and a transfer mechanism 21, which are arranged in sequence according to the transmission direction of the lithium metal material belt. A diaphragm winding mechanism is arranged between the intelligent material taking mechanism and the auxiliary drive mechanism; a slitting dust suction mechanism is arranged below the laser cutting mechanism, and the film-making equipment also includes a vacuum explosion-proof mechanism, a laser processing table is arranged below the pole ear laser cutting mechanism, and a material waiting platform is arranged on one side of the transfer mechanism.

[0093] The reasons why the first tension detection mechanism is arranged behind the tape splicing platform mechanism are: on the one hand, the position here is close to the unwinding mechanism. When the first tension detection mechanism detects tension fluctuations, the unwinding mechanism can timely feedback and adjust the tension; on the other hand, when the tape splicing platform mechanism is working, that is, the coil is spliced, the first tension detection mechanism here can detect the tension between the tape splicing platform and the auxiliary driving mechanism to ensure the stability of the tension of the equipment.

[0094] The reasons why the static electricity removal mechanism is arranged behind the unwinding and correcting mechanism are as follows: the coil material consists of two layers, metallic lithium and diaphragm. When the coil material is peeled off, the metallic lithium will generate static electricity. The static electricity may cause the metallic lithium material to absorb impurities from the environment and produce tiny particles, thereby affecting the performance and life of the battery. Therefore, static electricity needs to be eliminated after unwinding.

[0095] A second static electricity removal mechanism is arranged in front of the auxiliary drive mechanism. The second static electricity removal mechanism is arranged in at least two groups, at least one of which is arranged in front of the separation of lithium metal and diaphragm, and at least one of which is arranged behind the separation of lithium metal and diaphragm. The reasons are as follows: in the mechanism before the auxiliary drive mechanism, the coils are both lithium metal and diaphragm layers running together, and the lithium metal and diaphragm are separated in front of the auxiliary drive mechanism. The second static electricity removal mechanism performs static electricity elimination before separation because the coils may generate static electricity after multiple rollers, ensuring a more ideal separation of lithium metal and diaphragm. After the separation of lithium metal and diaphragm, the second static electricity removal mechanism performs static electricity elimination on lithium metal because lithium metal will inevitably generate static electricity during separation. In order to ensure the performance and life of the subsequent battery, static electricity elimination is necessary here.

[0096] The reason why the iron removal mechanism 8 is arranged in front of the static dust removal mechanism 10 is to protect the static dust removal mechanism and avoid damage to the static dust removal mechanism caused by fine iron filings and impurities on the surface of the coil. Therefore, the iron removal mechanism is placed in front of the static dust removal mechanism.

[0101] The material roll thickness measuring mechanism 1 is at least used to detect the thickness of the material roll arranged on the unwinding mechanism 2 .

[0102] The static electricity removal mechanism 4 and the tape connection platform 5 are sequentially arranged between the unwinding correction mechanism 3 and the lithium metal tension detection mechanism 6 , and the static electricity removal mechanism 4 is at least used to remove the static electricity on the material tape.

[0103] The high tension detection mechanism 7 is arranged on one side of the lithium metal tension detection mechanism 6 and upstream of the traveling correction mechanism 9, and is used to detect the tension of other materials, and is suitable for other material strips with high tension; the main traction mechanism 16 is also used to pull the other material strips through the unwinding correction mechanism 3, the high tension detection mechanism 7, the traveling correction mechanism 9, and the intelligent material storage mechanism 11 in sequence and then enter the pole piece laser cutting mechanism 14.

[0104] The iron removal mechanism is arranged between the lithium metal tension detection mechanism 6 and the traveling correction mechanism 9, and is used to remove the impurity metal on the material strip.

[0107] Specifically, in some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the roll thickness measuring mechanism 1 is an infrared positioning roll thickness measuring mechanism 1. Specifically, the infrared positioning roll thickness measuring mechanism 1 includes a roll thickness measuring base 1001, a roll thickness measuring guide rod 1002 is arranged on the roll thickness measuring base 1001, a roll thickness measuring fixed block 1006 is arranged on the roll thickness measuring upright rod, and a roll thickness measuring sensor 1005 is arranged on the roll thickness measuring fixed block 1006; the roll thickness measuring sensor 1005 can detect the thickness of the roll in real time during the operation of the equipment. A laser fixed block 1403 is arranged on the roll thickness measuring upright rod, and an infrared laser emitter 1003 is arranged on the fixed block. The infrared laser emitter 1003 emits red light to facilitate the positioning of the roll.

[0108] Before the equipment is operated, the coil fixing position is determined by manually adjusting the position of the infrared laser fixing block 1004. Before the equipment is operated, the staff needs to load the coil into the reeling and unwinding mechanism. Through the infrared laser positioning mechanism, the staff can quickly and time-savingly install the coil to the required position.

[0109] When the material pulling axis speed is constant, during the unwinding process, since the radius of the roll is constantly decreasing, in order to keep the line speed constant, the motor needs to be controlled by speed change, and the core of speed change control is to require the real-time radius change of the unwinding material. Therefore, a roll diameter measuring mechanism needs to be added to the unwinding device to monitor the real-time radius change of the roll. When the device is running, the roll thickness sensor 1005 works continuously and uninterruptedly to continuously monitor the thickness of the roll.

[0110] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the static electricity removal mechanism 4 includes a static electricity removal seat, and the static electricity removal seat includes a static electricity removal base 4001, and a static electricity removal bracket 4002 is fixedly connected to the static electricity removal base 4001, and a static electricity removal device 4003 is arranged on the static electricity removal bracket 4002; when working, the static electricity removal device 4003 continuously and uninterruptedly emits plasma wind to the surface of the coil, which is used to eliminate static electricity attached to the surface of the coil during the operation of the coil.

[0111] In some embodiments, Figure 5As shown, the belt-joining platform mechanism 5 includes a fixed box, and a second unpowered roller assembly 5001 is rotatably connected to the fixed box. A belt pressing assembly 5002 is provided on one side of the fixed box. The belt pressing assembly 5002 will press the material belt when it is necessary to join the material belt, and lift up to release the material belt after the joining is completed. Specifically, the belt pressing assembly 5002 can be a cylinder belt pressing assembly 5002 or an electrode wire rod belt pressing assembly 5002. In this embodiment, the belt pressing assembly 5002 uses a cylinder belt pressing assembly 5002, and at least two groups of the cylinder belt pressing assembly 5002 are provided. The cylinder belt pressing assembly 5002 includes a pressure rod and a cylinder that drives the pressure rod to move up and down. The fixed end of the cylinder is fixed in the fixed box, and the driving end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the pressure rod.

The fixed box is provided with a belt-jointing dust suction component 5003, and the belt-jointing dust suction component 5003 is used to suck away dust on the material belt.

[0112] Since the single layer thickness of lithium battery coils is very small, measured in microns. During the automated operation of the equipment, the tension of the coiled material is constantly changing, and there is a possibility of a sudden increase or decrease in tension, which poses a risk of tape breakage. After the tape breaks, the two ends of the broken tape can be joined by gluing on the tape splicing platform mechanism. At the same time, the total length of different coils is inconsistent. If one of the coils is used up and the other coils are not used up, the used coil can be cut at the tape splicing platform mechanism, and then a new coil can be connected, and the new coil can be joined with the old coil by gluing.

[0115] The presence of iron filings and impurities can affect the electrochemical properties of the battery, leading to problems such as decreased battery capacity and shortened cycle life. The iron removal mechanism of the present invention can remove iron filings and impurities during the production process of lithium batteries, thereby improving the performance and reliability of the battery. At the same time, the iron removal mechanism can ensure the normal operation of production equipment during the production process of new energy lithium batteries. During the production process, iron filings and impurities will be deposited inside the production equipment, causing equipment failure and damage. The use of an iron removal device can avoid the occurrence of these problems, ensuring the normal operation of production equipment and improving production efficiency. Furthermore, the iron removal mechanism can improve production efficiency and reduce costs during the production process of new energy lithium batteries. The use of an iron removal device can reduce downtime and maintenance costs during the production process, improve production efficiency and reduce production costs. In addition, the use of an iron removal device can reduce the scrap rate and improve the quality and market competitiveness of products.

[0117] On the basis of the above, if Figure 8As shown, the traveling correction mechanism 9 includes a frame correction fixing frame and a frame correction component arranged on the frame correction fixing frame, the frame correction component includes a connecting seat, at least two non-powered rollers are rotatably connected to the connecting seat, and a correction sensor is also arranged on the connecting seat. A second driving component for driving the connecting seat to move is arranged on one side of the connecting seat, and the second driving component can be a cylinder or a screw module. When working, the correction sensor of the frame correction device 9001 detects whether the edge of the material belt is in a set position. If it is not in the set position, the second driving component drives the connecting seat to move and thereby drives the non-powered roller to move for correction. The frame correction fixing frame includes a frame correction bottom plate 9004, a frame correction fixing plate 9002, and a frame correction reinforcement rib 9003 arranged between the frame correction bottom plate 9004 and the frame correction fixing plate 9002.

[0119] In some embodiments, Fig.10 As shown, the intelligent material storage mechanism 11 includes a fixed component 1103, on which a fourth power component 1102 is arranged, and the fourth power component 1102 is used to drive the third non-powered roller component 1101 to perform linear motion, and the fourth power component 1102 can be a cylinder or a screw module, and the fixed end of the fourth power component 1102 is fixed on the fixed component 1103, and the driving end of the fourth power component 1102 is fixedly connected with the third non-powered roller component 1101, and the third non-powered roller component 1101 moves linearly under the drive of the fourth power component 1102. During operation, the material belt passes through the third non-powered roller component 1101, and the third non-powered roller component 1101 performs linear motion under the drive of the fourth power component 1102 to realize intelligent material storage.

[0120] The intelligent material storage mechanism can improve the working efficiency of production equipment in the production process of new energy lithium batteries. During the production process, the equipment at the pole cutting needs to be started and stopped frequently. If the equipment does not have an intelligent material storage mechanism, the unwinding mechanism needs to be started and stopped frequently according to the cutting equipment. This is very unfavorable for the unwinding of the equipment and ensuring the overall tension precision control of the coil. With the intelligent material storage mechanism, the unwinding mechanism can unwind continuously, ensuring the precision control of the tension, and improving the working efficiency of the equipment.

[0121] Working method:

[0122] Material storage process: When the third unpowered roller assembly of the intelligent material storage mechanism is at the left limit position, the unwinding mechanism is still unwinding, and the third unpowered roller assembly starts to move from the left limit position to the right limit position. During the movement, the rear auxiliary drive mechanism, laser cutting device, slitting dust suction mechanism, main traction mechanism, suction belt are separated from the traction mechanism to work, and the material belt between the auxiliary drive mechanism and the intelligent material storage mechanism does not move; when the third unpowered roller assembly reaches the right limit position, the material storage is completed, and the aforementioned rear-end equipment has completed the film making and the placement of the pole piece. This process is the material storage process of the intelligent material storage mechanism.

[0123] Material discharge process: The third non-powered roller assembly of the intelligent material storage mechanism is at the right limit position, and the third non-powered roller assembly starts to move from the right limit position to the left limit position. At this time, the rear auxiliary drive mechanism, slitting dust suction mechanism, and main traction mechanism start to work, grab the material belt behind the auxiliary drive mechanism, and move it to the required length. This process is the material discharge process of the intelligent material storage mechanism.

[0124] On the basis of the above, if Fig.13 As shown, the pole piece laser cutting mechanism 14 includes a laser fixing seat, and the laser fixing seat includes a laser base 1401. A laser support rod 1402 is fixedly connected to the laser base 1401, and a laser fixing block 1403 is connected to the laser support rod 1402. A first laser 1404 is arranged on the laser fixing block 1403; the laser 1404 is arranged toward the pole piece and emits ultrashort pulse ultraviolet light to the pole piece to cut the pole piece.

[0125] On the basis of the above, if Fig.14 As shown, the main traction mechanism 16 is a mechanism that can fix the pole piece and drive the pole piece to move. The main traction mechanism 16 can be a mechanism that clamps the pole piece and drives the pole piece to move, or a mechanism that sucks the pole piece with a suction cup and drives the pole piece to move. Specifically, the main traction mechanism 16 includes a clamping mechanism 1601, and a third driving component 1602 for driving the clamping mechanism 1601 to move is provided on one side of the clamping mechanism 1601. The clamping component includes two clamping jaws arranged opposite to each other up and down, a clamping jaw cylinder that drives the connecting clamping jaws to open or close relatively, and a connecting arm for connecting the clamping jaw cylinder, and the end of the connecting arm away from the clamping jaw cylinder is connected to the third driving component 1602. The third driving component 1602 is a mechanism that drives the clamping mechanism 1601 to make linear motion, and the third driving component 1602 can be a servo module, a linear cylinder, or a combination of a motor and a lead screw.

[0126] In some embodiments, since a diaphragm is attached to the lithium metal strip before processing, the diaphragm needs to be separated from the strip during processing, on the one hand to prevent the diaphragm from being peeled off from the strip from being messy, and on the other hand to use the diaphragm to drive the strip to run. Fig.11 As shown, the diaphragm winding mechanism includes a second adjustment platform 1201, a winding assembly is arranged on the second adjustment platform 1201, a second correcting assembly 1202 is arranged on one side of the second adjustment platform 1201, the fixed end of the second correcting assembly 1202 is fixedly connected to the second adjustment platform 1201, the driving end of the second correcting assembly 1202 is connected to the winding assembly and can drive the winding assembly to move, one end of the winding assembly is provided with a second power assembly 1203 for driving the winding assembly to wind, the second power assembly 1203 is used to drive the winding assembly to rotate along its own axis, the second power assembly 1203 can be a motor, or a motor and a reducer, in this embodiment, the second power assembly 1203 includes a motor and a reduction motor, and the reduction motor is connected to the winding assembly through a synchronous wheel and a synchronous belt.

[0127] In some embodiments, the second dust removal mechanism includes a cutting dust suction mechanism 15, such as Fig.13 As shown, the slitting dust collection mechanism 15 includes a dust collection hood 1502 , a first dust collection component 1503 is arranged below the dust collection hood 1502 , and a flow guide component 1501 is arranged above the dust collection hood 1502 .

[0128] In some embodiments, Fig.12 As shown, the auxiliary drive mechanism 13 includes a fixed frame 1304, on which a main drive component 1301 and a driven component 1302 are arranged, the main drive component 1301 can be a driving roller, a driving wheel, etc., the driven component 1302 can be a driven roller, a driven wheel, etc., in this embodiment, the auxiliary drive mechanism 13 includes a fixed frame 1304, on which a driving wheel and a driven wheel are rotatably connected, there is a gap between the driving wheel and the driven wheel, and the An adsorption tray 1703 for adsorbing the material belt is arranged between the main driving component 1301 and the driven component 1302. A clamping component is arranged on one side of the main driving component 1301 or the driven component 1302. The clamping component is used to reduce the gap between the main driving component 1301 and the driven component 1302 so that the main driving component 1301 and the driven component 1302 cooperate to drive the material belt to move. The clamping component can be a cylinder or a linear servo module. The clamping component in this embodiment includes a cylinder.

[0129] On the basis of the above, the pole piece transfer mechanism includes a suction belt separation traction mechanism 17, a vacuum conveying belt line 18, a high-speed turntable mechanism 19 and a duplex displacement loading tooling 21 which are arranged in sequence according to the transmission direction of the lithium metal pole piece.

[0130] In some embodiments, Fig.15 As shown, the suction belt separation traction mechanism 17 includes a support frame 1702, and the support frame 1702 is provided with an adsorption plate and a support plate 1703, and the support plate 1703 is arranged above the adsorption plate, and the end of the adsorption plate away from the support plate is provided with a plurality of first adsorption holes, and the end with the plurality of first adsorption holes is arranged on the side close to the main traction mechanism. When working, when the main traction mechanism moves the cut electrode piece to the set position, the plurality of first adsorption holes adsorb the tail of the electrode piece, and then the clamping claw assembly of the main traction mechanism continues to move in the direction of the electrode piece, which plays the role of separating the electrode piece from the main traction mechanism, and at the same time, the electrode piece naturally falls to the vacuum conveying belt line below.

[0131] Since the pole piece is sucked or clamped and dragged by the main driving mechanism, if there is no suction belt detached from the traction mechanism, the main driving mechanism directly drags the pole piece to the vacuum conveyor belt, which will cause the tail of the pole piece to contact the vacuum conveyor belt first, and the vacuum conveyor belt will drive the tail of the pole piece to move in the transportation direction, causing the pole piece to bend and wrinkle, and eventually make the pole piece unusable. If there is a suction belt detached from the suction hole of the traction mechanism to absorb the tail of the pole piece, at this time the main traction mechanism releases the pole piece, and the front end of the pole piece contacts the vacuum conveyor belt first, then the pole piece is prevented from bending and wrinkling, ensuring the integrity of the pole piece.

[0132] Specifically, Fig.16 As shown, the vacuum conveyor belt line 18 is a vacuum conveyor belt line; the vacuum conveyor belt line includes a conveyor frame 1804 and a conveyor belt arranged on the conveyor frame 1804, a continuous vacuum chamber is arranged inside one end of the conveyor frame 1804, an intermittent vacuum chamber is arranged inside the other end of the conveyor frame 1804, and a first dust removal component 1803 for removing impurities on the conveyor belt is arranged on one side of the intermittent vacuum chamber. During operation, the vacuum conveyor belt line continuously evacuates, and when the electrode piece naturally falls onto the continuous adsorption vacuum chamber 1801 of the vacuum conveyor belt line, and the electrode piece is adsorbed on the conveyor belt, the conveyor belt moves the electrode piece to the top of the intermittent adsorption vacuum chamber 1802, waiting for the high-speed turntable mechanism to grab it; during the movement of the conveyor belt, it continuously passes through the dust removal device, and the dust removal device removes impurities attached to the surface of the conveyor belt.

[0133] In some embodiments, the high-speed turntable mechanism 19 includes a cam indexer, a suction cup device 1903 and a swing arm device 1902, wherein the suction cup device is placed at one end of the swing arm device, and the other end of the swing arm device is placed above the cam indexer. During operation, the cam indexer 1901 drives the swing arm assembly 1902 to move, thereby driving the first suction cup assembly 1903 to move the pole piece from above the intermittent adsorption vacuum chamber 1802 of the vacuum conveying belt line 18 to above the CCD positioning detection mechanism 20. Compared with the manipulator, the advantages of using a cam indexer in this embodiment are that it has a simple and compact structure, is composed of relatively few components, and is easy to design and manufacture; its movement is accurate and reliable, the cam can provide precise movement, and the cam can convert continuous rotational motion into reciprocating linear motion, and can realize complex motion laws.

[0134] In some embodiments, since it is necessary to move the pole piece on the CCD positioning detection mechanism 20 to the laser processing table 23, and at the same time, it is necessary to move the pole piece on the laser processing table 23 to the material waiting platform 24, the transfer mechanism 21 is set as a duplex displacement transfer mechanism 21. Specifically, Fig.19 As shown, the duplex displacement loading mechanism 21 includes a fixed plate, on which two sets of second suction cup assemblies 2101 are arranged, and one side of the fixed plate is provided with a third power assembly 2102 for driving the fixed plate to move, and the third power assembly 2102 can be a cylinder or a screw module. In this embodiment, the third power assembly 2102 uses a screw module. Setting the loading mechanism 21 as a duplex displacement loading mechanism 21 can save components and costs on the one hand, and synchronize the two loadings on the other hand, saving loading time.

[0135] On the basis of the above, the pole piece detection mechanism includes a CCD positioning detection mechanism 20, such as Fig.18 As shown, the CCD positioning detection mechanism 20 includes a detection platform, and one side of the detection platform is provided with an X-axis moving component 2001 for driving the detection platform to move along the X-axis direction, a Y-axis moving component 2002 for driving the detection platform to move along the Y-axis, a rotating component 2003 for driving the detection platform to rotate, and a CCD component 2004 for detecting whether there are defects in the pole piece. During operation, when the high-speed turntable mechanism 19 moves the pole piece to the top of the detection platform, the CCD component 2004 detects whether there are defects in the pole piece, and accurately positions the pole piece by simultaneously moving the X-axis moving component 2001, the Y-axis moving component and the rotating component 2003, so that the pole piece reaches the required position.

[0136] In some embodiments, the pole ear laser cutting mechanism 22 includes a second laser 2202, which is set toward the laser processing table 23, and the second laser 2202 emits ultrashort pulse ultraviolet light toward the pole piece to cut the pole piece, thereby cutting the shape of the pole ear on the pole piece.
