DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0078] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the inventors of this case, after long-term research and extensive practice, have proposed the technical solution of the present invention. The following will further explain this technical solution, its implementation process and principles.

[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 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 in sequence and then enter the electrode laser cutting mechanism 14;
[0082] The unwinding correction mechanism 3 is at least used to monitor whether the first designated part of the material strip unwound by the unwinding mechanism 2 is in the set position, and when the first designated part of the material strip deviates from the first set position, cooperate with the unwinding mechanism 2 to adjust the position of the material roll so that the first designated part 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 to 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 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 pole pieces.
[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 tab laser cutting mechanism 22 is at least used to cut the tabs on the pole pieces.
[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, such as 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 splicing platform 5, a lithium metal 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 piece laser cutting mechanism 22 and a transfer mechanism 21, which are arranged in sequence according to the transmission direction of the lithium metal material strip. A diaphragm winding mechanism is provided between the intelligent material storage mechanism and the auxiliary drive mechanism; a slitting and dust suction mechanism is provided below the pole piece laser cutting mechanism 14; the film-making equipment also includes a vacuum explosion-proof mechanism; a laser processing table is provided below the pole piece laser cutting mechanism; and a waiting platform is provided on one side of the transfer mechanism.
[0093] The reasons why the lithium metal tension detection mechanism is arranged behind the splicing platform are: on the one hand, the position here is close to the unwinding mechanism. When the lithium metal tension detection mechanism detects tension fluctuations, the unwinding mechanism can provide timely feedback and adjust the tension; on the other hand, when the splicing platform is working, that is, the coil is spliced, the lithium metal tension detection mechanism here can detect the tension between the splicing platform and the auxiliary drive 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-elimination mechanism is provided in front of the auxiliary drive mechanism. The second static-elimination mechanism is provided in at least two groups, at least one of which is provided in front of the separation point between the lithium metal and the diaphragm, and at least one of which is provided behind the separation point between the lithium metal and the diaphragm. The reason for this is that in the mechanism before the auxiliary drive mechanism, the coils are both lithium metal and the diaphragm running together. The lithium metal and the diaphragm are separated in front of the auxiliary drive mechanism. The second static-elimination mechanism eliminates static electricity before separation because the coils may generate static electricity after passing through multiple rollers, ensuring a more ideal separation between the lithium metal and the diaphragm. After the separation of the lithium metal and the diaphragm, the second static-elimination mechanism eliminates static electricity on the lithium metal because the lithium metal will inevitably generate static electricity during separation. 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.
[0097] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, the unwinding mechanism 2 includes a first adjustment platform 2001, a first correction component 2002 is provided below the first adjustment platform 2001, a fixed end of the first correction component 2002 is fixedly connected to one side of the first adjustment platform 2001, and one end of the first correction component is provided with a first power component 2003. This application does not limit the specific structure of the first power component 2003, as long as it can drive the material strip to unwind, specifically, the first power component 2003 includes a motor, a reducer, a motor fixing plate A, a motor fixing plate B, a motor fixing plate C, a driving wheel, and a driven wheel. The motor is installed on the reducer, the reducer is placed on one side of the motor fixing plate B, and the other side of the motor fixing plate B is placed on one side of the motor fixing plate A. The driving wheel is placed on the shaft end of the reducer and on the other side of the motor fixing plate A.

The unpowered roller correction component 3002 is horizontally slidably connected to the translation component 3001 through the slide rail and the slider. Specifically, the unpowered roller correction component 3002 includes an unpowered roller fixed seat, and two unpowered rollers are rotatably connected to the unpowered roller fixed seat, which are a first unpowered roller and a second unpowered roller. A sensor detection component 3003 is arranged on one side of the unpowered roller correction component 3002, and the sensor detection is used to detect whether the material belt passing through the unpowered roller correction component 3002 is in a set position.
[0100] In some embodiments, the lithium metal unwinding and film making system also includes one or more of a material roll thickness measuring mechanism 1, a static electricity removal mechanism 4, a tape splicing platform 5, a high tension detection mechanism 7, an iron removal mechanism 8, a first dust removal mechanism, a diaphragm winding mechanism 12, an auxiliary drive mechanism 13, and a second dust removal mechanism.
[0101] The roll thickness measuring mechanism 1 is at least used to detect the thickness of the roll provided on the unwinding mechanism 2 .
[0102] The static electricity removal mechanism 4 and the tape splicing platform 5 are sequentially arranged between the unwinding and correcting mechanism 3 and the lithium metal tension detection mechanism 6 . The static electricity removal mechanism 4 is at least used to remove the static charge 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 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 travel correction mechanism 9, and is used to remove impurity metals on the material strip.
[0105] The diaphragm winding mechanism 12 is arranged between the intelligent material storage mechanism 11 and the electrode laser cutting mechanism 14, and is at least used to separate the metallic lithium in the material strip from the diaphragm and collect the separated diaphragm.
[0106] The auxiliary driving mechanism 13 is arranged between the intelligent material storage mechanism 11 and the pole piece laser cutting mechanism 14 .
[0107] Specifically, in some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the coil thickness measuring mechanism 1 is an infrared positioning coil thickness measuring mechanism. Specifically, the infrared positioning coil thickness measuring mechanism includes an infrared positioning coil thickness measuring base 1001, on which is mounted an infrared positioning coil thickness measuring guide rod 1002. A coil thickness measuring fixed block 1006 is mounted on the infrared positioning coil thickness measuring guide rod 1002, and a coil thickness measuring fixed block 1006 is mounted on the coil thickness measuring fixed block 1006. A coil thickness measuring sensor 1005 is mounted on the coil thickness measuring fixed block 1006. The coil thickness measuring sensor 1005 can detect the coil thickness in real time during operation. An infrared laser fixed block 1004 is mounted on the infrared positioning coil thickness measuring guide rod 1002, and an infrared laser emitter 1003 is mounted on the infrared laser fixed block. The infrared laser emitter 1003 emits red light to facilitate coil positioning.
[0108] Before the device is operated, the coil fixing position is determined by manually adjusting the position of the infrared laser fixing block 1004. Before the device is operated, the staff needs to load the coil into the rewinding and unwinding mechanism. Through the infrared laser positioning mechanism, the staff can quickly and time-savingly install the coil to the required position.
[0109] While the material pulling axis speed is constant, the coil radius decreases during the unwinding process. To maintain a constant linear speed, the motor must be controlled with variable speed. The core of this variable speed control is to monitor the real-time radius change of the unwinding coil. Therefore, a coil diameter measurement mechanism is required at the unwinding and rewinding device to monitor the real-time radius change of the coil. While the device is operating, coil thickness sensor 1005 operates continuously to monitor the coil thickness.
[0110] In some embodiments, as Figure 4As 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 provided 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 roll material, which is used to eliminate static electricity attached to the surface of the roll material during the operation of the roll material.
[0111] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 As shown, the tape splicing platform 5 includes a fixed box, to which a second unpowered roller assembly 5001 is rotatably connected. A tape pressing assembly 5002 is provided on one side of the fixed box. The tape pressing assembly 5002 will press the tape when it is necessary to splice the tape, and will lift and release the tape after the splicing is completed. Specifically, the tape pressing assembly 5002 can be a cylinder tape pressing assembly or an electrode wire rod tape pressing assembly. In this embodiment, the tape pressing assembly 5002 uses a cylinder tape pressing assembly, and at least two groups of cylinder tape pressing assemblies are provided. The cylinder tape pressing assembly 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. Under the drive of the cylinder, the pressure rod can be pressed down to be flush with the upper end surface of the fixed box. A tape splicing dust collection assembly 5003 is provided in the fixed box, and the tape splicing dust collection assembly 5003 is used to remove dust from the tape.
[0112] Because the thickness of a single layer of lithium battery coil is extremely small, measured in microns, the coil tension constantly fluctuates during automated operation, and there's the potential for sudden increases or decreases, posing a risk of coil breakage. If a coil breaks, the ends can be glued together on the splicing platform. Furthermore, different coils have varying total lengths. If one coil is exhausted but the others are not, the remaining coil can be cut on the splicing platform, and a new coil can be inserted and glued together.
[0113] In some embodiments, the high tension detection mechanism 7 includes a second tension roller guide rod 7001, a roller 7002, a limit block 7003 and a second tension detector 7004, the second tension roller guide rod 7001 is placed in the roller 7002, the limit block 7003 is placed at one end of the roller 7002 and at one end of the second tension roller guide rod 7001, and the other end of the second tension roller guide rod 7001 is placed in the fixing hole of the second tension detector 7004.

[0115] The presence of iron filings and impurities will 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 product quality and market competitiveness.
[0116] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 As shown, the lithium metal tension detection mechanism 6 includes a first tension detector 6004, which is provided with a first tension roller guide rod 6001. The outer surface of the first tension roller guide rod 6001 is sheathed with a roller 6002. A limit block 6003 is provided at the end of the first tension roller guide rod 6001 away from the first tension detector 6004, and the limit block 6003 is located at the end of the roller 6002 away from the first tension detector 6004. The working principle is: the lithium metal strip passes above and contacts the roller 6002, the lithium metal strip is stretched, and the roller 6002 is subjected to pressure. The first tension detector 6004 can detect the corresponding pressure and feed it back to the unwinding mechanism 2, causing the unwinding mechanism 2 to make corresponding adjustments to adjust the tension of the lithium metal strip to the set value.
[0117] On the basis of the above, if Figure 8 As 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 unpowered rollers are rotatably connected to the connecting seat, and a correction sensor is also provided on the connecting seat. A second drive component for driving the connecting seat to move is provided on one side of the connecting seat, and the second drive component can be a cylinder or a screw module. During operation, the correction sensor of the frame correction device 9001 detects whether the edge of the material strip is in a set position. If it is not in the set position, the second drive component drives the connecting seat to move and thereby drives the unpowered 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, as Figure 10 As shown, the intelligent material storage mechanism 11 includes a fixed component 1103, on which a fourth power component 1102 is provided. The fourth power component 1102 is used to drive the third unpowered roller component 1101 to perform linear motion. The fourth power component 1102 can be a cylinder or a screw module. The fixed end of the fourth power component 1102 is fixed to the fixed component 1103, and the driving end of the fourth power component 1102 is fixedly connected to the third unpowered roller component 1101. The third unpowered roller component 1101 moves linearly under the drive of the fourth power component 1102. During operation, the material belt passes through the third unpowered roller component 1101, and the third unpowered roller component 1101 performs linear motion under the drive of the fourth power component 1102 to realize intelligent material storage.
[0120] Intelligent accumulators can improve the efficiency of production equipment during the production of new energy lithium batteries. During production, the electrode cutting equipment requires frequent starts and stops. Without an intelligent accumulator, the unwinding mechanism would need to start and stop frequently in sync with the cutting equipment. This significantly hinders unwinding and ensures precise tension control throughout the coil. With an intelligent accumulator, the unwinding mechanism can unwind continuously, ensuring precise tension control and improving equipment efficiency.
[0121] Working method:
[0122] Stocking process: When the third unpowered roller assembly of the intelligent stocker is at its left limit position, the unwinding mechanism continues to unwind, and the third unpowered roller assembly begins to move from the left limit position to the right limit position. During this movement, the rear-end auxiliary drive mechanism, laser cutting device, slitting and dust collection mechanism, main traction mechanism, and suction belt are separated from the traction mechanism to work, and the material belt between the auxiliary drive mechanism and the intelligent stocker does not move. When the third unpowered roller assembly reaches the right limit position, stocking is complete, and the aforementioned rear-end equipment has completed film production and electrode placement. This process is the stocking process of the intelligent stocker.
[0123] Unloading process: The third unpowered roller assembly of the intelligent accumulator is at its right limit position. It begins to move from the right limit position to the left limit position. At this point, the rear auxiliary drive mechanism, slitting and dust collection mechanism, and main traction mechanism begin to operate, grabbing the material strip behind the auxiliary drive mechanism and moving it to the required length. This process is the unloading process of the intelligent accumulator.
[0124] On the basis of the above, if Figure 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 laser 1404 is provided on the laser fixing block 1403; the laser 1404 is set 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 Figure 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 it can be 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 drive 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 in an upper and lower direction, a clamping jaw cylinder that drives the connecting clamping jaws to open or close relative to each other, 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 drive component 1602. The third drive component 1602 is a mechanism that drives the clamping mechanism 1601 to perform linear motion. The third drive component 1602 can be a servo module, a linear cylinder, or a combination of a motor and a screw.
[0126] In some embodiments, since the lithium metal strip is attached with a diaphragm before processing, the diaphragm needs to be separated from the strip during processing. On the one hand, this is to prevent the diaphragm from being peeled off from the strip from being messy, and on the other hand, the diaphragm can be used to drive the strip to move. Figure 11 As shown, the diaphragm winding mechanism includes a second adjustment platform 1201, a winding assembly is provided on the second adjustment platform 1201, a second correction assembly 1202 is provided on one side of the second adjustment platform 1201, the fixed end of the second correction assembly 1202 is fixedly connected to the second adjustment platform 1201, the driving end of the second correction assembly 1202 is connected to the winding assembly and can drive the winding assembly to move, and 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 collection mechanism 15, such as Figure 13 As shown, the slitting and dust collection mechanism 15 includes a dust collection hood 1502 , a first dust collection component 1503 is provided below the dust collection hood 1502 , and a flow guide component 1501 is provided above the dust collection hood 1502 .
[0128] In some embodiments, as Figure 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 provided. The main drive component 1301 can be a driving roller, a driving wheel, etc., and 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 main drive component 1301 can be a driving roller, a driving wheel, etc., and the driven component 1302 can be a driven roller, a driven wheel, etc. A pole piece adsorption support plate 1303 for adsorbing the material strip is provided between the driving component 1301 and the driven component 1302. A clamping component is provided 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 strip 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 electrode transfer mechanism includes a suction belt separation traction mechanism 17, a vacuum conveying belt line 18, a high-speed turntable mechanism 19 and a transfer mechanism 21, which are arranged in sequence according to the transmission direction of the lithium metal electrode.
[0130] In some embodiments, as Figure 15 As shown, the suction belt separation traction mechanism 17 includes a support frame 1702, on which an adsorption plate and a support plate 1703 are provided. The support plate 1703 is arranged above the adsorption plate. The end of the adsorption plate away from the support plate is provided with a plurality of first adsorption holes 1701, and the end with the plurality of first adsorption holes is provided on the side close to the main traction mechanism. During operation, when the main traction mechanism moves the cut electrode to the set position, the plurality of first adsorption holes adsorb the tail of the electrode, and then the clamping claw assembly of the main traction mechanism continues to move in the direction of travel of the electrode, which plays the role of separating the electrode from the main traction mechanism, and at the same time, the electrode naturally falls onto the vacuum conveying belt line below.
[0131] Since the electrode 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 will directly drag the electrode to the vacuum conveyor belt, which will cause the tail of the electrode to contact the vacuum conveyor belt first. The vacuum conveyor belt will drive the tail of the electrode to move in the transportation direction, causing the electrode to bend and wrinkle, and ultimately making the electrode unusable. If there is a suction belt detached from the adsorption hole of the traction mechanism and adsorbed the tail of the electrode, at this time the main traction mechanism releases the electrode, and the front end of the electrode contacts the vacuum conveyor belt first, then the electrode will be prevented from bending and wrinkling, thus ensuring the integrity of the electrode.
[0132] Specifically, such as Figure 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 mounted on the conveyor frame 1804. A continuous vacuum chamber is disposed within one end of the conveyor frame 1804, and an intermittent vacuum chamber is disposed within the other end of the conveyor frame 1804. A first dust removal assembly 1803 for removing impurities from the conveyor belt is disposed on one side of the intermittent vacuum chamber. During operation, the vacuum conveyor belt line continuously evacuates the vacuum. When the electrode naturally falls onto the continuous adsorption vacuum chamber 1801 of the vacuum conveyor belt line, the electrode is adsorbed onto the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt then moves the electrode to the top of the intermittent adsorption vacuum chamber 1802, where it awaits capture by the high-speed turntable mechanism. During its movement, the conveyor belt continuously passes through the dust removal device, which removes impurities adhering to the surface of the conveyor belt.
[0133] In some embodiments, the high-speed turntable mechanism 19 includes a cam indexer 1901, a suction cup device 1903, and a swing arm device 1902. 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 device 1902 to move, thereby driving the suction cup device 1903 to move the pole piece from above the intermittent adsorption vacuum chamber 1802 of the vacuum conveyor belt line 18 to above the CCD positioning detection mechanism 20. Compared to the manipulator, the advantages of using a cam indexer in this embodiment include its simple and compact structure, consisting of relatively few components, and 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, which can realize complex motion patterns.
[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 mechanism. Figure 19 As shown, the duplex displacement loading mechanism includes a fixed plate, on which two sets of second suction cup assemblies 2101 are disposed. A third power assembly 2102 for driving the fixed plate is disposed on one side of the fixed plate. The third power assembly 2102 can be a cylinder or a screw module. In this embodiment, the third power assembly 2102 is a screw module. Configuring the transfer mechanism 21 as a duplex displacement loading mechanism not only saves components and reduces costs, but also synchronizes the two transfers, saving transfer time.
[0135] On the basis of the above, the electrode detection mechanism includes a CCD positioning detection mechanism 20, such as Figure 18 As shown, the CCD positioning detection mechanism 20 includes a detection platform, one side of which is provided with an X-axis moving component 20001 for driving the detection platform to move along the X-axis direction, a Y-axis moving component 20002 for driving the detection platform to move along the Y-axis, a rotating component 20003 for driving the detection platform to rotate, and a CCD component 20004 for detecting whether there are defects in the electrode. During operation, when the high-speed turntable mechanism 19 moves the electrode to the top of the detection platform, the CCD component 20004 detects whether there are defects in the electrode, and accurately positions the electrode by simultaneously moving the X-axis moving component 20001, the Y-axis moving component 20002, and the rotating component 20003, so that the electrode reaches the required position.
[0136] In some embodiments, the tab laser cutting mechanism 22 includes a second laser 2202, which is set toward the laser processing table 23. The second laser 2202 emits ultrashort pulse ultraviolet light toward the pole piece to cut the pole piece and cut the shape of the tab on the pole piece.
[0137] In some embodiments, as Figure 21 As shown, the laser processing platform 23 includes a processing base plate 2302 and a plurality of support rods 2303 arranged below the processing base plate 2302. The processing base plate 2302 is fixedly connected to the support rods 2303. The processing base plate 2302 is provided with a plurality of second adsorption holes 2301.
[0138] On the basis of the above, the lithium metal unwinding and film-making system further includes a material waiting platform 24 and / or a vacuum explosion-proof mechanism 25.
[0139] Specifically, the material waiting platform 24 includes a plurality of adsorption holes 2401 , a bottom plate 2402 and a support rod 2403 . The bottom plate 2402 is fixed to the support rod 2403 , and the plurality of adsorption holes 2401 are placed above the bottom plate 2402 .
[0140] Specifically, such as Figure 22 As shown, the vacuum explosion-proof mechanism 25 includes a vacuum explosion-proof box 2501, a vacuum pipe 2502, a vacuum adsorption collection pipe and a dust removal waste collection pipe 2506. One end of the vacuum pipe 2502 is connected to the vacuum explosion-proof box 2501, and the other end is connected to the dust removal waste collection pipe 2506.
