The stacking process of lithium batteries refers to stacking the positive and negative electrodes of the battery at intervals to form a battery cell.

[0085] Among them, the unwinding and die-cutting device includes an unwinding and die-cutting module 10 and a cutting detection module 20. The unwinding and die-cutting module 10 is used to unfold the first and second material rolls with high and low distributions along the first direction and die-cut the first pole tab material strip and the second pole tab material strip and then output them side by side; the cutting detection module 20 is used to cut the first pole tab material strip and the second pole tab material strip into several independent first pole sheets and second pole sheets respectively, and output the qualified first pole sheets and second pole sheets side by side to the stacking device.
[0086] The stacking device includes several stacking modules 30 arranged side by side along a first direction. The stacking module 30 includes a first electrode conveying mechanism 31, a second electrode conveying mechanism 32 and a stacking mechanism 33. The first electrode conveying mechanism 31 and the second electrode conveying mechanism 32 are arranged side by side and are located on the same side of the stacking mechanism 33. The stacking mechanism 33 is used to stack the first electrode conveyed by the first electrode conveying mechanism 31 and the second electrode conveyed by the second electrode conveying mechanism 32 through the first electrode transporting mechanism 34, and transport the stacked battery cells to the hot pressing device 40 for hot pressing.
[0087] In this embodiment, several stacking modules 30 are arranged side by side along the first direction, which can be understood as: the first electrode conveying mechanisms 31 of several stacking modules 30 are connected end to end along the first direction, the second electrode conveying mechanisms 32 of several stacking modules 30 are connected end to end along the first direction, and the stacking mechanisms 33 of several stacking modules 30 are located on the same side of the first electrode conveying mechanism 31 away from the second electrode conveying mechanism 32 along the first direction, or are located on the same side of the second electrode conveying mechanism 32 away from the first electrode conveying mechanism 31 along the first direction, that is, the stacking mechanisms 33 of several stacking modules 30 are located on the same straight line along the first direction.
[0088] In addition, in this embodiment, each lamination module 30 is independently controlled, and the number of lamination modules 30 is set according to production requirements. At the same time, the number of lamination modules 30 that need to work can be controlled according to current production requirements.
[0089] The present embodiment provides a fully automatic lithium battery cutting and stacking machine, which sequentially arranges a rewinding die-cutting device, a laminating device, and a hot pressing device 40 to realize an automated production process for lithium batteries, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing production costs. At the same time, each device is modularly designed to optimize the spatial structure and floor space of the equipment, making it easier to operate, maintain, and disassemble and transport.
[0090] As a preferred embodiment, this embodiment optimizes the specific structures of the unwinding die-cutting module 10 and the cutting detection module 20.
[0091] like Figure 2-6 As shown, the unwinding and die-cutting module 10 includes a frame 11, a pole piece unwinding module, a die-cutting module and a buffer module.
[0092] The frame 11 has a first installation space and a second installation space distributed up and down; the pole piece unwinding module includes a first unwinding mechanism 121 and a second unwinding mechanism 122, the die-cutting module includes a first die-cutting mechanism 131 and a second die-cutting mechanism, and the cache module includes a first cache mechanism 141 and a second cache mechanism.

[0093] In this embodiment, the specific structure of the rack 11 can be understood as follows: the rack 11 is a frame with an installation space, and a horizontal baffle is provided in the middle of the rack 11, and the installation space of the rack 11 is divided into a first installation space and a second installation space distributed vertically by the baffle.
[0094] The first unwinding mechanism 121 unfolds the first coil into a single-layer first material strip along the first direction and outputs it to the first die-cutting mechanism 131. The first die-cutting mechanism 131 completes the die-cutting and forming of the first tab of the first material strip, thereby outputting the first tab material strip to the first cache mechanism 141. The second unwinding mechanism 122 unfolds the second coil into a single-layer second material strip along the first direction and outputs it to the second die-cutting mechanism. The second die-cutting mechanism completes the die-cutting and forming of the second tab of the second material strip, thereby outputting the second tab material strip to the second cache mechanism. After the first tab material strip and the second tab material strip pass through the first cache mechanism 141 and the second cache mechanism respectively, they are output side by side from the frame 11, so that the first tab material strip and the second tab material strip with high and low distributions are transported to the same height.
[0095] In this embodiment as a preferred embodiment, two first unwinding mechanisms 121 and two second unwinding mechanisms 122 are respectively provided, and the two first unwinding mechanisms 121 are staggered in the horizontal direction, and the two second unwinding mechanisms 122 are staggered in the horizontal direction, and the first unwinding mechanism 121 and the second unwinding mechanism 122 are staggered in the second direction perpendicular to the first direction, that is, the first unwinding mechanism 121 and the second unwinding mechanism 122 are staggered in the longitudinal direction, which is conducive to realizing loading on the same side, reducing the space required for loading and unloading, and making the spatial layout and utilization of the unwinding die-cutting device more reasonable.

The operating space is larger, which is convenient for manual operation adjustment and subsequent maintenance.
