Its core structure includes positive and negative plates, electrolyte, and separators, and it stores and releases electrical energy through a reversible redox reaction.
[0003] During the battery production process, after the plates are installed in the battery shell, the plates' tabs usually need to be cut and brushed to make them meet the requirements for use. Usually, the battery is placed upside down on a cutting and brushing machine, and the tabs are cut by the cutter inside the machine, and a roller brush is used to remove debris from the tabs. During production, when automation is not yet popular, the battery needs to be manually turned upside down and then cut and brushed.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a battery tab cutting brush device includes: The frame 10 is provided with an inverted frame 101, and the inverted frame 101 has at least one positioning groove 1011 for invertedly fixing the battery. The bottom of the positioning groove 1011 is symmetrically provided with two through grooves 1012 corresponding to the positions of the tabs; The flipping device 20 includes a flipping device A201 and a flipping device B202 symmetrically arranged along the conveying direction. The flipping device A201 is arranged in front of the positioning groove 1011 and is used to clamp the battery on the front conveyor belt and flip it 180° to insert it into the positioning groove 1011. The flipping device B202 is arranged in the rear of the positioning groove 1011 and has the same structure as the flipping device A201. It is used to remove the battery after cutting and flipping it back to the rear conveyor belt. The cutting and brushing device 30 is arranged below the positioning groove 1011 and is used to cut and brush the battery inverted in the positioning groove 1011.
[0026] Specifically, the frame 10 is provided with conveyor belts on both sides, not shown in the figure, for conveying batteries. When the battery moves into place on one side of the conveyor belt, the flipping device A201 flips and clamps the battery and moves along with the flipping device A201 to form a 180° flip. The battery is inserted into the positioning groove 1011, and at the same time, the cutting and brushing device 30 works to cut and brush the battery's pole ear. After the cutting and brushing is completed, the flipping device B202 flips and clamps the battery after cutting, and then flips it 180° and transports it to the rear conveyor belt to the next process.
[0027] Furthermore, the flipping device A201 includes: Drive motor A2011; A clamping frame 2012, one end of which is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 2014, and both ends of the rotating shaft 2014 are rotatably connected to a bearing seat 2015, and the bearing seat 2015 is fixed to the frame 10; The clamping cylinder 2013 is fixed in the clamping groove 20121 of the clamping frame 2012, and the front end of the guide rod of the clamping cylinder 2013 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 20131; The output end of the driving motor A2011 is transmission-connected to one end of the rotating shaft 2014 , and the clamping frame 2012 is provided with the same number of clamping grooves 20121 as the number of the positioning grooves 1011 .
[0028] Specifically, during operation, after the battery is inserted into the clamping groove 20121, the clamping cylinder 2013 pushes the clamping plate 20131 to clamp the battery, and the driving motor A2011 drives the clamping frame 2012 to flip over, thereby changing the position of the battery.
[0029] Furthermore, in order to ensure the stability of the position of the battery when it is clamped and to ensure that the battery can be easily inserted into the positioning groove 1011 after being flipped, each clamping groove 20121 is provided with two symmetrically distributed clamping cylinders 2013, and the two clamping cylinders 2013 are respectively arranged at both ends of the clamping groove 20121. The battery is clamped by the ends to facilitate the placement of the battery after being flipped. At the same time, clamping the battery by both ends can enable the clamping frame 2012 to clamp multiple batteries at the same time.
[0030] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the detection of the moving position of the clamping frame 2012, the free end of the rotating shaft 2014 is fixedly connected to a detection block 20141, and a semicircular detection plate 20142 is provided on one side of the detection block 20141. The semicircular detection plate 20142 is fixed to the frame 10, and a detection head 20143 for detecting the position of the detection block 20141 is fixed on the semicircular detection plate 20142.

Three detection heads 20143 are preferably selected, and the detection heads 20143 at both ends are set at 90° to the detection head 20143 in the middle.
[0032] Furthermore, the brush cutting device 30 includes: The slide assembly 301 is connected to the frame 10 by sliding along the left and right directions via the guide rail 3011 and the slider 3012; A cutting unit 302 is mounted on the slide assembly 301 and includes a cutting roller 3022 driven by a drive motor B3021; The roller brush unit 303 is mounted on the slide assembly 301 and is disposed on the left side of the cutting unit 302. It includes two sets of wire rollers A3031 and B3032 that rotate in opposite directions and are driven by drive motors C3033 and D3034 respectively. The driving cylinder 304 is installed on the frame 10, and its guide rod is fixed under the slide assembly 301, driving the slide assembly 301 to move back and forth to complete the cutting and brushing motion.
[0033] Furthermore, in order to ensure that when the battery tabs are being cut and brushed, the battery will not be lifted up due to the contact between the cutter roller 3022, the wire roller A3031, and the wire roller B3032, thereby affecting the cutting effect, the inverted frame 101 is provided with a negative pressure suction hole 1013, and the negative pressure suction hole 1013 is arranged on both sides of the positioning groove 1011 for adsorbing the battery shell. The inverted frame 101 is provided with a through hole 1014 along the length direction, and the through hole 1014 is connected to the negative pressure suction hole 1013.

[0034] Furthermore, in order to improve the adsorption effect, an annular groove 1015 is provided on the outer edge of the negative pressure suction hole 1013, and a rubber ring 1016 is installed in the annular groove 1015 to improve the sealing effect between the negative pressure adsorption hole 1013 and the battery.
[0035] Furthermore, in order to prevent the chips after cutting from entering the negative pressure suction hole 1013, a filter is installed on the negative pressure suction hole 1013.
[0036] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the battery to be separated from the negative pressure suction hole 1013, the two ends of the through hole 1014 are respectively connected with pipes A10121 and pipes B10122, and battery valves are provided on the pipes A10121 and pipes B10122, and the negative pressure system is connected through pipe A10121, and the positive pressure system is connected through pipe B10122. By connecting the negative pressure system and the positive pressure system respectively, when the battery needs to be adsorbed, the negative pressure system is connected to the negative pressure suction hole 1013 through the battery valve and the pipe A10121, and after the cutting is completed, the positive pressure system is connected to the negative pressure suction hole 1013 through the battery valve and the pipe B10122, which facilitates the battery to be separated from the inverted frame 101, and at the same time, the debris on the filter net can be blown out.
