Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of manufacturing technology for cutting-type irregular electrode sheet button cell winding equipment, and in particular to a button cell online feeding and correction structure. Background Technology

[0002] Button batteries, also known as coin cells, are small batteries that resemble buttons in shape. They are commonly used in low-power electronic devices such as watches, calculators, remote controls, electronic toys, and hearing aids. They are small, lightweight, and have stable voltage, making them widely used in portable and small electronic devices.

[0003] Conventional electrode sheets are usually round or square, resembling buttons or coins, and come in various sizes. They are mainly composed of a positive electrode, a negative electrode, an electrolyte, and a casing. They have a compact structure and can provide stable voltage and current in a small volume, making them suitable for various low-power devices, especially applications that require stable power supply for a long time. On the other hand, irregularly shaped electrode sheets refer to electrode sheets of non-standard shapes and sizes used in coin cells. They are usually custom-designed according to specific application requirements. The shape and size of irregularly shaped electrode sheets can be different from those of conventional electrode sheets to meet the structural design and usage requirements of special devices.

[0004] For both conventional and irregularly shaped electrode sheets on the market, existing feeding methods mostly involve suction cup traction and mechanical cylinder alignment. During suction cup feeding, the suction cup lifts the front end, which leads to low cell precision during winding, electrode powder shedding, and electrode deviation during travel. Semi-automatic winding of electrode sheets mostly involves manual feeding, relying on a slide groove as a reference to push the sheet with fingers, resulting in secondary contamination of the electrode sheet due to friction with the sheet metal. There is also a lack of correction during travel, resulting in low precision and safety hazards. To solve the above problems, there is an urgent need for an online correction and feeding mechanism that is versatile, efficient, clean, and has high winding precision.

[0005] For example, the automatic correction feeding equipment and its correction feeding unit disclosed in CN117125529A relate to the field of new energy vehicle technology. This prior art includes a correction frame, a material mounting component, and a traction mechanism. The correction frame includes a base and a frame. The frame is movably mounted on the base. The material mounting component is mounted on the frame and includes a mounting shaft, a mounting shaft clutch, and a brake. The brake is mounted on the frame. The mounting shaft clutch includes a channel steel wheel connected to the mounting shaft and a channel rubber wheel connected to the brake. The channel steel wheel and the channel rubber wheel are adapted to each other, and the included angle at their engagement is within the self-locking angle. The traction mechanism is mounted on the frame and is correspondingly set with the material mounting component.

[0006] However, the aforementioned existing technologies still have some shortcomings when it comes to correcting the deviation of flexible roll materials:

[0007] The aforementioned existing technology has a correction sensor installed at the output position of the first correction feeding unit. It is responsible for real-time monitoring of the edge position of the flexible roll material. The sensor can detect whether the roll material has deviated during the conveying process. The movement of the correction slide rail drives the entire frame, including the material mounting parts and the traction mechanism, to move axially, thereby adjusting the position of the roll material and returning it to the correct alignment state.

[0008] However, since the correction sensor is located at the output position of the first correction feeding unit, the sensor can only detect the offset of the roll when it leaves the unit. When the correction sensor detects the offset of the roll and issues a correction command, the movement of the correction slide rail can only affect the flexible roll that enters the unit later, but cannot correct the offset roll that has already left the unit. If the roll is already offset when it enters the first correction feeding unit, or if it is offset inside the unit due to other factors, the correction sensor cannot detect and correct these offsets in time, causing the offset to gradually accumulate during the subsequent conveying process.

[0009] Meanwhile, the correction guide rail needs a certain amount of time to move and adjust. During this period, the rolls of material entering the unit later may still be in a deviated state. The movement of the correction guide rail is for the subsequent rolls of material, but for the rolls that have already deviated, the correction mechanism cannot correct them in real time and can only adjust them gradually during the subsequent conveying process.

[0010] Based on this, as stated above, there is still room for improvement in the existing technology for correcting the deviation of flexible roll materials. Summary of the Invention

[0011] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a snap-on online feeding and correction structure, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0012] The button-type online feeding and correction structure includes a frame plate, a support plate slidably mounted on the frame plate via a slide rail, a sliding plate slidably mounted on the support plate via a slide rail, and a correction feeder mounted on the sliding plate. The correction feeder uses vacuum adsorption to pick up the misaligned electrode sheet for correction.

[0013] The correction feeder includes a connecting support plate on a sliding plate, and a vacuum suction plate is provided at the lower end of the connecting support plate.

[0014] Preferably, the vacuum suction plate has adsorption holes, which are located on one side of the vacuum suction plate.

[0015] Preferably, the deviation correction feeder further includes a suction cup support plate disposed at the lower end of the connecting support plate, and a positioning piece disposed at the lower end of the suction cup support plate, the positioning piece being located on one side of the suction hole and slidably connected to the vacuum suction plate.

[0016] Preferably, the suction cup support plate and the connecting support plate are slidably connected by a slide rail, and the connecting support plate has a receiving hole, in which an adjusting motor is installed.

[0017] The suction cup support plate is equipped with a positioning plate that adjusts the threaded connection of the motor drive end.

[0018] Preferably, the support plate is provided with a driving component.

[0019] The driving component includes a drive shaft rotatably mounted on a support plate via a bracket, a drive motor mounted on the support plate via a motor mount, the drive end of the drive motor being connected to the drive shaft via a coupling, and a sliding block connected to a sliding plate being threaded onto the drive shaft.

[0020] Preferably, a drive shaft is mounted on the frame plate via a bracket, and a drive motor is mounted on the frame plate via a motor mount. The drive end of the drive motor is connected to the drive shaft via a coupling, and a connecting block is threaded onto the drive shaft.

[0021] The frame plate is provided with a sliding groove, and the connecting block passes through the sliding groove and connects to the support plate.

[0022] Preferably, the transmission shaft is perpendicular to the drive shaft.

[0023] Preferably, a dust collector is provided on the connecting support plate.

[0024] The dust collector includes a fixed support plate on the side of the connecting support plate opposite to the suction cup support plate, a cylinder at the lower end of the fixed support plate, a sliding block slidably disposed on the fixed support plate directly below the vacuum suction plate, the sliding block being connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder, and an ultrasonic dust removal head disposed on the sliding block.

[0025] Preferably, the vacuum suction plate is provided with a positioning element;

[0026] The positioning element includes an irregularly shaped electrode sheet, which includes a sheet body. A step is formed at one corner of the sheet body, and a corner hole is formed at the corner of the step. An electrode contact piece is provided on one side of the sheet body.

[0027] The vacuum suction plate has several guide holes located on one side of the suction hole. A positioning pin corresponding to the corner hole is slidably disposed in the guide hole, and a bevel is provided on one side of the positioning pin.

[0028] Preferably, the positioning plate is provided with an abutment rod, one side of which slides through the vacuum suction plate and abuts against the inclined surface, and the positioning plate is provided with a correction slot corresponding to the electrode contact plate;

[0029] An air guide hole is provided between the bottom of the guide hole and the adsorption hole. A positioning protrusion connected to the positioning pin is slidably arranged inside the guide hole. A return spring is provided between the positioning protrusion and one side of the guide hole.

[0030] In summary, the present invention has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0031] 1. This invention uses adsorption holes on a vacuum suction plate to evacuate and adsorb electrode sheets. Then, a driving component drives a support plate to move upward. The support plate drives a connecting support plate through a sliding plate, causing the vacuum suction plate to move the adsorbed electrode sheets away from the conveying equipment. Since the adsorption holes are located on one side of the vacuum suction plate, the adsorbed electrode sheets can be tightly attached to that side, thereby completing the correction.

[0032] 2. In this invention, after the electrode is aligned with the adsorption hole and the alignment is completed, the cylinder is activated. The extension end of the cylinder extends and pushes the sliding block. The sliding block drives the ultrasonic dust removal head set on it, bringing the ultrasonic dust removal head closer to the electrode. Then the ultrasonic dust removal head is activated. After receiving the high-frequency electrical signal, the ultrasonic dust removal head generates high-frequency mechanical vibration to remove dust, metal shavings and other impurities from the surface of the electrode, thereby improving the cleanliness of the electrode.

[0033] 3. This invention utilizes an adjusting screw, which, through a threaded connection, moves an adjusting block. This moving block then moves a vacuum suction plate on a suction cup support plate, allowing for adaptive adjustment based on the electrode's position, accommodating electrodes of different sizes and shapes. Simultaneously, by connecting the support plate, the angle between the suction cup support plate and the vacuum suction plate can be changed, overcoming angle differences and ensuring coverage of the possible adjustment range. Adjusting the rotation angle of the drive gear allows for different angle adjustments, improving electrode adsorption accuracy and adaptability. Attached Figure Description

[0052] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 17The present invention will be described in further detail below.

[0053] This invention discloses a snap-on online feeding and correction structure. During the conveying process of the electrode sheet, the conveying equipment monitors the position of the electrode sheet in real time through a sensor. When the sensor detects that the electrode sheet has shifted, the correction is completed by adsorbing the electrode sheet onto one side of the plate surface.

[0054] Example 1:

[0055] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the production of button cells, conveying equipment is usually used to transport the electrode sheets from the raw material area to the assembly area to provide a stable supply of materials for subsequent assembly and processing. However, during the conveying process, the position of the electrode sheets may shift, which not only affects production efficiency but may also lead to product quality problems, such as internal short circuits and decreased charge and discharge performance. The shifted electrode sheets are corrected by the button cell online feeding correction structure.

[0056] The snap-on online feeding and correction structure includes a frame plate 1, which is connected to the conveying equipment to support the operation of the entire structure. A support plate 2 is slidably mounted on the frame plate 1 via a slide rail, and a sliding plate 3 is slidably mounted on the support plate 2 via a slide rail.

[0057] During the conveying process of the electrode sheet, the conveying equipment monitors the position of the electrode sheet in real time through sensors. When the sensor detects that the electrode sheet has shifted, the drive component 5 set on the support plate 2 is activated. The drive component 5 drives the sliding plate 3 to move horizontally on the support plate 2, so that the sliding plate 3 drives the correction feeder 4 set on it to move above the shifted electrode sheet. Then, the drive component 5 drives the support plate 2 to move the sliding plate 3 vertically on the frame plate 1, so that the support plate 2 drives the correction feeder 4 to approach the shifted electrode sheet through the sliding plate 3.

[0058] The correction feeder 4 will use vacuum adsorption to pick up the misaligned electrode from the conveying equipment, and then drive the support plate 2 to move upward through the drive component 5. The support plate 2 will drive the correction feeder 4 through the sliding plate 3 to pick up the misaligned electrode from the conveying equipment and then correct the electrode.

[0059] After completing the correction, the correction feeder 4 will place the corrected electrode back onto the conveying equipment.

[0060] Reference Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the guide feeder 4 includes a connecting support plate 41 on the sliding plate 3, and a vacuum suction plate 43 is provided at the lower end of the connecting support plate 41.

[0061] When the driving component 5 drives the sliding plate 3 to move, the sliding plate 3 will drive the connecting support plate 41 to move together, and the connecting support plate 41 will drive the vacuum suction plate 43 set at its lower end, so that the vacuum suction plate 43 moves above the electrode that has shifted.

[0062] Then the driving component 5 drives the support plate 2 to move the sliding plate 3 downward on the frame plate 1, so that the support plate 2 moves downward together with the connecting support plate 41 through the sliding plate 3, so that the vacuum suction plate 43 approaches the offset electrode, and then the electrode is vacuumed and adsorbed through the adsorption hole 44 opened on the vacuum suction plate 43.

[0063] Then, the driving component 5 drives the support plate 2 to move upward. The support plate 2 will drive the connecting support plate 41 through the sliding plate 3, so that the vacuum suction plate 43 will carry the adsorbed electrode away from the conveying equipment. Since the adsorption hole 44 is located on one side of the vacuum suction plate 43, the adsorbed electrode can be closely attached to one side of the adsorption hole 44, thereby completing the correction. After the vacuum suction plate 43 completes the electrode correction, the driving component 5 drives the support plate 2 to move downward, and puts the corrected electrode back into the conveying equipment. The adsorption hole 44 stops vacuuming and no longer adsorbs the electrode, so that the corrected electrode can be put back into the conveying equipment.

[0064] Specifically, the guide plate 4 also includes a suction cup support plate 42 provided at the lower end of the connecting support plate 41. A positioning piece 421 is provided at the lower end of the suction cup support plate 42. The positioning piece 421 is located on one side of the suction hole 44 and is slidably connected to the vacuum suction plate 43. A positioning plate 47 is provided on the suction cup support plate 42 and is threadedly connected to the drive end of the adjusting motor 46.

[0065] The lower end of the connecting support plate 41 is provided with a suction cup support plate 42, which is slidably connected to the connecting support plate 41 via a slide rail. The connecting support plate 41 is provided with a receiving hole 45, and an adjusting motor 46 is provided inside the receiving hole 45. The suction cup support plate 42 is provided with a positioning plate 47.

[0066] After the sliding plate 3 drives the connecting support plate 41, causing the vacuum suction plate 43 to move the adsorbed electrode away from the conveying equipment, the regulating motor 46 starts, and the positioning plate 47 moves through the threaded connection with the driving end of the regulating motor 46, causing the suction cup support plate 42 to move the positioning piece 421 set at its lower end, so that the positioning piece 421 moves downward and abuts against the upper end of the electrode, so that the electrode is aligned on the vacuum suction plate 43 by the abutment of the positioning piece 421. Since the positioning piece 421 is located on one side of the adsorption hole 44 and is slidably connected to the vacuum suction plate 43.

[0067] The upper end of the electrode is aligned with the lower end of the positioning piece 421 by the contact of the positioning piece 421, thereby further correcting the electrode's alignment.

[0068] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, specifically, the driving component 5 includes a driving shaft 51 rotatably mounted on the support plate 2 via a bracket, and a driving motor 52 mounted on the support plate 2 via a motor mount. The driving end of the driving motor 52 is connected to the driving shaft 51 via a coupling.

[0069] By starting the drive motor 52, the drive end of the drive motor 52 is connected to the drive shaft 51 through a coupling, thereby driving the drive shaft 51 to rotate. The rotating drive shaft 51 will drive the sliding block 53 connected to it to move. The moving sliding block 53 will connect to the sliding plate 3 to make the sliding plate 3 move horizontally on the support plate 2, so that it can drive the connecting support plate 41 to move the vacuum suction plate 43 above the electrode that has been deviated.

[0070] A drive shaft 54 ​​is mounted on the frame plate 1 via a bracket, a drive motor 55 is mounted on the frame plate 1 via a motor mount, and a sliding groove 57 is provided on the frame plate 1.

[0071] By starting the drive motor 55, the drive end of the drive motor 55 is connected to the drive shaft 54 ​​through a coupling, thereby driving the drive shaft 54 ​​to rotate. The rotating drive shaft 54 ​​will drive the threaded connecting block 56 on the drive shaft 54 ​​to move. The connecting block 56 passes through the sliding groove 57 and connects to the support plate 2, thereby driving the support plate 2 to move up and down on the frame plate 1. The support plate 2 drives the connecting support plate 41 through the sliding plate 3, thereby driving the vacuum suction plate 43 to approach the offset electrode to remove the electrode from the conveying equipment, or put the corrected electrode back into the conveying equipment.

[0072] The transmission shaft 54 ​​is perpendicular to the drive shaft 51, thereby enabling the sliding block 53 and the connecting block 56 to move relative to each other in the horizontal and vertical directions.

[0073] Example 2:

[0074] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 6 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, the dust collector 6 includes a fixed support plate 61 on the side of the connecting support plate 41 facing away from the suction cup support plate 42. A cylinder 62 is provided at the lower end of the fixed support plate 61. A sliding block 63 located directly below the vacuum suction plate 43 is slidably provided on the fixed support plate 61. The sliding block 63 is connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder 62.

[0075] After the electrode is aligned with the adsorption hole 44 and the alignment is completed, the cylinder 62 is activated. The telescopic end of the cylinder 62 extends and pushes the sliding block 63. The sliding block 63 drives the ultrasonic dust removal head 64 mounted on it, bringing the ultrasonic dust removal head 64 closer to the electrode. Then, the ultrasonic dust removal head 64 is activated. After receiving the high-frequency electrical signal, the ultrasonic dust removal head 64 generates high-frequency mechanical vibration. The ultrasonic dust removal head 64 transmits kinetic energy to the surface of the electrode, generating a strong impact force and micro-jet. These impact forces peel off the dust, fibers, metal shavings and other tiny particles attached to the surface of the electrode, removing impurities such as dust and metal shavings from the surface of the electrode and improving the cleanliness of the electrode.

[0076] Meanwhile, the ultrasonic dust removal head 64 does not come into contact with the object being dusted, so it will not damage the surface of the material.

[0077] Example 3:

[0078] Reference Figure 7 As shown, based on Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, an adjusting screw 7 is rotatably provided on the connecting support plate 41, and the positioning piece 421 is slidably connected to the suction cup support plate 42. An adjusting block 71 that is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 7 is provided on the vacuum suction plate 43.

[0079] By rotating the adjusting screw 7, the adjusting block 71 is moved through the threaded connection. The moving adjusting block 71 will drive the vacuum suction plate 43 to move on the connecting support plate 41. At the same time, since the positioning piece 421 is located on one side of the suction hole 44 and is slidably connected to the vacuum suction plate 43, the vacuum suction plate 43 will drive the positioning piece 421 to move together on the suction cup support plate 42. The vacuum suction plate 43 and the connecting support plate 41 are slidably connected.

[0080] By rotating the adjusting screw 7, the adjusting block 71 is moved through the threaded connection. The moving adjusting block 71 will drive the vacuum suction plate 43 to move on the connecting support plate 41 and drive the positioning plate 421. It can adaptively adjust according to the position change of the electrode and adapt to electrode plates of different sizes and shapes.

[0081] Example 4:

[0082] Reference Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 Based on Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 3, the installation positions reserved for the frame plate 1 of different conveying devices may differ, resulting in an angle difference between the vacuum suction plate 43 and the electrode on the conveying device.

[0083] A turntable 72 is provided on the sliding plate 3, and a connecting support plate 41 is rotatably connected to the sliding plate 3 through the turntable 72. A drive gear ring 73 is provided on the turntable 72, and a drive gear 74 that meshes with the drive gear 74 is rotatably provided on the connecting support plate 41.

[0084] By driving the drive gear 74 to rotate, the rotating drive gear 74 meshes with the sliding plate 3, causing the connecting support plate 41 to rotate via the turntable 72, thereby adjusting the angle of the connecting support plate 41. The connecting support plate 41 then drives the suction cup support plate 42 and the vacuum suction plate 43 to change their angles, thus overcoming angle differences and ensuring coverage of the possible adjustment range. Different angle adjustments can be achieved by adjusting the rotation angle of the drive gear 74, improving the electrode adsorption accuracy and adaptability.

[0085] Example 5:

[0086] Reference Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 , Figure 14 , Figure 15 , Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2, Embodiment 3 and Embodiment 4, some irregularly shaped electrode sheets 8 have a special structure. When correcting the irregularly shaped electrode sheets 8, the positioning piece 421 alone cannot achieve the corrective effect due to their special structure.

[0087] For example, the irregularly shaped electrode 8 includes a sheet body 81, a step 82 is provided at one corner of the sheet body 81, a corner hole 83 is provided at the corner of the step 82, and an electrode contact 84 is provided on one side of the sheet body 81.

[0088] In order to correct the deviation of the irregular electrode sheet 8, a positioning component 9 is provided on the vacuum suction plate 43. The positioning component 9 will position and correct the irregular electrode sheet 8 according to its shape.

[0089] Specifically, the positioning component 9 includes several guide holes 91 on the vacuum suction plate 43 located on one side of the suction hole 44. A positioning pin 92 corresponding to the corner hole 83 is slidably disposed in the guide hole 91. An inclined surface 93 is provided on one side of the positioning pin 92.

[0090] The positioning plate 421 is provided with an abutment rod 94. One side of the abutment rod 94 slides through the vacuum suction plate 43 and abuts against the inclined surface 93. The positioning plate 421 is provided with a correction slot 95 corresponding to the electrode contact plate 84.

[0091] Under the contact of the positioning piece 421, the upper end of the irregular electrode 8 is made parallel to the lower end of the positioning piece 421. During the process of correcting the irregular electrode 8, the pin of the positioning piece 421 moves down and drives the contact rod 94 to move down together. One end of the contact rod 94 will abut against the inclined surface 93 of the positioning pin 92, causing the positioning pin 92 to move outward in the guide hole 91, thereby pinning into the corner hole 83 to position the irregular electrode 8. At the same time, the electrode contact piece 84 will be locked by the correction slot 95 to ensure the accuracy of the correction position of the irregular electrode 8.

[0092] Then, the positioning piece 421 moves upward under the drive of the adjusting motor 46, causing the correction latch 95 to disengage from the electrode contact piece 84. At the same time, the contact rod 94 moves upward with the positioning piece 421, moving away from the inclined surface 93 of the positioning pin 92.

[0093] At this time, since there is an interconnected air guide hole 96 between the bottom of the guide hole 91 and the adsorption hole 44, when the adsorption hole 44 is evacuated, the air guide hole 96 will create a vacuum inside the guide hole 91. Since the air pressure inside the guide hole 91 is less than the air pressure outside the guide hole 91, the positioning pin 92 will retract into the guide hole 91, thereby exiting the corner hole 83 to release the positioning of the irregular electrode 8, so that the vacuum suction plate 43 can smoothly put the corrected irregular electrode 8 back into the conveying equipment.

[0094] Example 6:

[0095] Reference Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, based on Embodiment 5, in order to ensure that the positioning pin 92 can retract smoothly into the guide hole 91 each time, a positioning protrusion 97 connected to the positioning pin 92 is slidably provided in the guide hole 91. A return spring 98 is provided between the positioning protrusion 97 and one side of the guide hole 91. The return spring 98 will make the positioning pin 92 tend to retract into the guide hole 91.

[0096] When one end of the abutment rod 94 abuts against the inclined surface 93 of the positioning pin 92, causing the positioning pin 92 to move outward in the guide hole 91, the positioning pin 92 will drive the positioning protrusion 97 to move together and compress the return spring 98, thereby pinning into the corner hole 83 to position the irregular electrode 8; conversely, when the abutment rod 94 moves upward with the positioning piece 421 and moves away from the inclined surface 93 of the positioning pin 92, the compressed return spring 98 will push the positioning pin 92 to retract into the guide hole 91, thereby exiting the corner hole 83 and releasing the positioning of the irregular electrode 8, so that the vacuum suction plate 43 can smoothly put the corrected irregular electrode 8 back into the conveying equipment.

[0097] The implementation principle of this invention is as follows:

[0098] 1. In the production of button cells, a conveying device is used to transport the electrode sheets from the raw material area to the assembly area, providing a stable material supply for subsequent assembly and processing. During the conveying process, the conveying device monitors the position of the electrode sheets in real time through sensors. When the sensor detects that the electrode sheet has shifted, the drive component 5 drives the sliding plate 3 to move. The sliding plate 3 will drive the connecting support plate 41 to move together. The connecting support plate 41 will drive the suction cup support plate 42 set at its lower end. The suction cup support plate 42 will drive the vacuum suction plate 43 set at its lower end, so that the vacuum suction plate 43 moves above the shifted electrode sheet.

[0099] 2: Then the driving component 5 drives the support plate 2 to move the sliding plate 3 downward on the frame plate 1, so that the support plate 2 drives the connecting support plate 41 to move downward together through the sliding plate 3, so that the vacuum suction plate 43 approaches the offset electrode, and then the electrode is vacuumed and adsorbed through the adsorption hole 44 opened on the vacuum suction plate 43.

[0100] 3: Then the driving component 5 drives the support plate 2 to move upward. The support plate 2 will drive the connecting support plate 41 through the sliding plate 3, so that the vacuum suction plate 43 drives the adsorbed electrode away from the conveying equipment. Since the adsorption hole 44 is located on one side of the vacuum suction plate 43, the adsorbed electrode can stick tightly to one side of the adsorption hole 44, thereby completing the correction.

[0101] 4: When the adjusting motor 46 is started, the positioning plate 47 moves through the threaded connection with the driving end of the adjusting motor 46, causing the suction cup support plate 42 to move and the positioning piece 421 set at its lower end to move. The positioning piece 421 moves downward and abuts against the upper end of the electrode, so that the electrode is aligned on the vacuum suction plate 43 by the abutment of the positioning piece 421. Since the positioning piece 421 is located on one side of the suction hole 44 and is slidably connected to the vacuum suction plate 43, the upper end of the electrode is made parallel to the lower end of the positioning piece 421 by the abutment of the positioning piece 421, thereby further correcting the electrode.

[0102] 5: After the vacuum suction plate 43 completes the electrode correction, the driving component 5 drives the support plate 2 to move downward, and puts the corrected electrode back into the conveying equipment. The suction hole 44 stops drawing vacuum and no longer suctions the electrode, so that the corrected electrode can be put back into the conveying equipment.

[0103] 6: After the electrode is aligned with the adsorption hole 44 and the alignment is completed, the cylinder 62 is activated. The telescopic end of the cylinder 62 extends and pushes the sliding block 63. The sliding block 63 drives the ultrasonic dust removal head 64 installed on it, bringing the ultrasonic dust removal head 64 closer to the electrode. Then the ultrasonic dust removal head 64 is activated. After receiving the high-frequency electrical signal, the ultrasonic dust removal head 64 generates high-frequency mechanical vibration to remove dust, metal shavings and other impurities from the surface of the electrode, thereby improving the cleanliness of the electrode.

[0104] 7: By rotating the adjusting screw 7, the adjusting screw 7 moves the adjusting block 71 through the threaded connection. The moving adjusting block 71 will drive the vacuum suction plate 43 to move on the suction cup support plate 42, which can adaptively adjust according to the position change of the electrode and adapt to electrode sheets of different sizes and shapes.

[0105] 8: By driving the drive gear 74 to rotate, the rotating drive gear 74 will mesh with the drive gear 74, causing the connecting support plate 41 to rotate on the sliding plate 3 via the turntable 72, thereby adjusting the angle of the connecting support plate 41. The connecting support plate 41 drives the suction cup support plate 42 and the vacuum suction plate 43 to change the angle, thereby overcoming the angle difference and ensuring that the possible adjustment range can be covered. By adjusting the rotation angle of the drive gear 74, different angles can be adjusted, improving the electrode adsorption accuracy and adaptability.
