Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of lithium strip forming technology, and more particularly to a die mechanism for a lithium strip extrusion press. Background Technology

[0002] Lithium strip is a specific form of metallic lithium product. It is a strip-shaped material made of high-purity metallic lithium through mechanical processing. Lithium strip has a wide range of applications, mainly including lithium batteries, electronic devices and energy storage. Among them, ultra-thin lithium strip, as a negative electrode material, can improve the energy density and range of batteries and is widely used in electric vehicles and portable electronic devices.

[0003] The lithium strip calendering machine in Publication No. CN221231297U uses a method of forming lithium strip by calendering metallic lithium into lithium strip using rolls. However, when the lithium strip initially bites into the rolls, the rolling force suddenly increases from zero to the set value. Due to the characteristics of its own roll pressing mechanism, the formed lithium strip head forms a wedge-shaped thickened area (i.e., an arc-shaped head), which does not meet the specifications. The production method of ultra-wide metallic lithium strip in Publication No. CN106914503B introduces a method of forming lithium strip by extruding it through a die. However, the extruded lithium strip still needs a traction device to pull the lithium strip for the next step, such as winding. If there is no traction device, manual traction will increase labor costs and traction instability. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0040] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0041] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this invention should have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

Terms such as "connected" or "linked" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. Terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are used only to indicate relative positional relationships; when the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0042] like Figures 1-12 As shown, a lithium strip extrusion die 31 mechanism includes:

[0043] The base 1 is horizontally set on the ground. A front mold base 11 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the front end of the base 1, and a rear mold base 12 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the rear end of the base 1.

[0044] Four guide shafts 13 are provided, and the four guide shafts 13 are arranged in a rectangular shape. The two ends of the four guide shafts 13 are fixedly connected between the front mold base 11 and the rear mold base 12 along the x-axis, respectively.

[0045] The mold-locking beam 14 is slidably connected to the four guide shafts 13 and located between the front mold base 11 and the rear mold base 12. The center of the mold-locking beam 14 is detachably connected to the central pivot 15.

[0046] The moving mold beam 16 is slidably connected to the four guide shafts 13 and is located between the front mold base 11 and the rear mold base 12;

[0047] The extrusion power assembly 2 is fixedly connected to the rear die base 12 and is drively connected to the locking die beam 14 and the moving die beam 16. The moving die beam 16 is fixedly connected to the extrusion power assembly 2.

[0048] The mold changing assembly 3 is horizontally set on the ground. An extrusion mold 31 is detachably connected to the mold changing assembly 3. The extrusion mold 31 communicates with the transfer seat 15.

[0049] The traction assembly 4 is fixedly connected inside the front mold base 11 and communicates with the extrusion mold 31;

[0050] Hydraulic station 5 is horizontally set on the ground. Hydraulic station 5 is connected to multiple hydraulic pipes. The multiple hydraulic pipes are connected to the extrusion power assembly 2, the mold changing assembly 3 and the feeding assembly.

[0051] The control assembly 6 is mounted on the front mold base 11 and is electrically connected to the hydraulic station 5, the feeding assembly, and the traction assembly 4.

[0052] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 2 As shown, the extrusion power assembly 2 includes an extrusion cylinder 21. The outer end of the extrusion cylinder 21 is fixedly connected to the center of the rear die base 12. The outer end of the piston rod of the extrusion cylinder 21 is fixedly connected to the moving die beam 16. An extrusion head 22 is fixedly connected to the head of the piston rod of the extrusion cylinder 21. Two closed cylinders 23 are fixedly connected to the rear die base 12 in a mirror-symmetrical manner in the z-axis direction relative to the axis of the extrusion cylinder 21. The piston heads of the two closed cylinders 23 are fixedly connected to the side of the locking beam 14 facing the moving die beam 16.

[0053] Thus, the moving mold beam 16 is horizontally guided by four guide shafts 13, and the outer end of the piston rod of the extrusion cylinder 21 is fixedly connected to the moving mold beam 16, ensuring the weight support of the piston rod of the extrusion cylinder 21 and ensuring the coaxiality between the piston rod of the extrusion cylinder 21 and the central rotating seat 15. The two closed cylinders 23 provide the movement capability of the locking mold beam 14 in the x-axis direction, so that when producing lithium strip, the locking mold beam 14 makes the central rotating seat 15 closely adhere to the upper mold 381 and the lower mold 382. When cleaning the extrusion cavity 37 or changing the mold, the two closed cylinders 23 are driven to retract, so that the locking mold beam 14 moves away from the upper mold 381 and the lower mold 382.

[0054] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 2 As shown, corrugated telescopic rubber sleeves are fitted on both the guide shaft 13 and the closed oil cylinder 23;

[0055] In this way, the corrugated telescopic sleeve can provide dust protection for the four guide shafts 13 and the closed cylinder 23 without affecting the operation of the equipment. On the other hand, when the lithium metal is loaded into the extrusion chamber 37 by lifting, if the lithium metal accidentally collides with the four guide shafts 13 and the closed cylinder 23, it can also reduce the damage to both.

[0056] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the mold changing assembly 3 includes a guide bracket 32 ​​fixedly connected to the rear mold base 12. The extrusion mold 31 is slidably connected to the guide bracket 32 ​​along the y-axis. A cylinder bracket 33 is also fixedly connected to one side of the rear mold base 12. A push-pull cylinder 34 is rotatably connected to the cylinder bracket 33 with the z-axis as the rotation axis. The telescopic section of the push-pull cylinder 34 is detachably connected to the extrusion mold 31. The mold changing assembly 3 also includes a mold changing frame 35 horizontally set on the ground. A mold placement platform 36 is slidably connected to the top of the mold changing frame 35 along the z-axis. A top extension cylinder 361 is fixedly connected to the mold changing frame 35. The telescopic end of the top extension cylinder 361 is fixedly connected to the mold placement platform 36. The oil circuits of the push-pull cylinder 34 and the top extension cylinder 361 are connected to the oil circuit of the hydraulic station 5.

[0057] Therefore, producing lithium strips of different specifications requires changing molds of different specifications. The metal molds are heavy, and the equipment itself has structural limitations. Changing molds requires workers to be inside the equipment, which is not only inefficient but also dangerous in the confined space, making it difficult to avoid accidents. Therefore, a mold changing assembly 3 is designed. The extrusion mold 31 slides along the y-axis in the guide bracket 32 ​​by the extension and retraction of the push-pull cylinder 34. After the position is adjusted, the extrusion mold 31 can be fixed. The push-pull cylinder 34, which is rotatably connected to the cylinder bracket 33, can be disengaged from the extrusion mold 31 after the mold changing is completed, and rotates from the y-axis direction to the x-axis direction, reducing space occupation. During mold changing, the mold to be replaced is moved to one side by the push-pull cylinder 34 and placed on the mold placement platform 36 before being moved away. The mold to be installed can also be adjusted by the extension and retraction of the top extension cylinder 361 to adjust the height of the mold placement platform 36 from the ground. This, along with the installation of the guide bracket 32 ​​and the extension and retraction of the push-pull cylinder 34, assists in the entire mold changing process.

[0058] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 5As shown, the transfer seat 15 has an extrusion chamber 37 inside. A vacuum groove 371 is provided inside the extrusion chamber 37 facing the moving mold beam 16. A vacuum hole 372 is provided inside the vacuum groove 371. A vacuum tube 373 is connected to the vacuum hole 372, and a vacuum pump is connected to the vacuum tube 373. A vacuum gauge 374 is also connected to the vacuum tube 373. The vacuum pump is electrically connected to the control assembly 6. A conical guide port 375 is provided on the other side of the extrusion chamber 37. The conical guide port 375 fits against the extrusion mold 31. The extrusion mold 31 includes a mold pad 38, which is slidably connected to the guide port 374. Inside the bracket 32, the upper mold 38 is detachably connected to the upper mold 381 and the lower mold 382 at its upper and lower ends, respectively. A strip-shaped gap is left between the upper mold 381 and the lower mold 382. The upper mold 381 and the lower mold 382 are symmetrically designed and are both trapezoidal. The acute angles of the upper mold 381 and the lower mold 382 correspond to the conical guide port 375. The distance between the inclined sides of the upper mold 381 and the lower mold 382 increases along the x-axis toward the traction assembly 4. One end of the head of the mold pad 38 communicates with the cavity between the upper mold 381 and the lower mold 382 through a waist-shaped through hole 383. A guide plate 384 is fixedly connected to the waist-shaped through hole 383.

[0059] Thus, there is a small gap between the extrusion head 22 and the extrusion chamber 37. After the lithium metal is placed in the extrusion chamber 37, the extrusion head 22 will penetrate into the extrusion chamber 37, but will not directly submerge the vacuum groove 371. At this time, the extrusion chamber 37 is evacuated to maintain a negative pressure state. Then the extrusion head 22 submerges the vacuum groove 371 to extrude and form the lithium metal. The design of the conical guide port 375 allows the compressed lithium metal to flow more smoothly and stably between the upper die 381 and the lower die 382 to produce lithium strip. The upper die 381 and the lower die 382 are both trapezoidal structures, that is, the pressure point is two acute angles, which have less contact with the lithium metal and are less likely to stick. The guide plate 384 keeps the compressed lithium strip in direction and in contact with the traction assembly 4.

[0060] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 1 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, the traction assembly 4 includes a traction frame 41. Two running frames 411 are fixedly connected to both sides of the traction frame 41 in a mirror-symmetrical manner. Each running frame 411 has a guide rail 412 in its middle. A slider 42 is slidably connected to each guide rail 412. A drive shaft 43 is rotatably connected to the upper and lower ends of each slider 42. The diameter of the outer end of the middle section of the drive shaft 43 is smaller than the diameter of the outer ends of both ends of the drive shaft 43. A drive gear 431 is drively connected to both ends of each drive shaft 43. One side of the drive gear 431 has an outwardly extending annular protrusion. A first one-way bearing 432 is disposed inside the inner side of each outwardly extending annular protrusion of the drive gear 431. The inner end of the first one-way bearing 432 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the outwardly extending annular protrusion of the drive gear 431. A conveying roller 44 is fitted onto the outer ends of every two opposing first one-way bearings 432. The two inner ends of the conveying roller 44 are fixedly connected to the outer ends of the corresponding one-way bearings. The radial section of the conveying roller 44 has two arc-shaped protrusions with different heights. And a passage zone 441 with the smallest diameter and no fluctuation, the end of the guide plate 384 faces the conveying roller 44, a motor bracket 45 is fixedly connected to the outside of one of the sliders 42, a drive motor 451 is fixedly connected to the motor bracket 45, the main shaft of the drive motor 451 is connected to the transmission shaft 43 at the upper end, two transmission gears 431 on the same side mesh with each other, and a second one-way bearing 433 is fixedly connected to the outer ends of the transmission shaft 43 at the upper end. Each of the second one-way bearings 433 has a rubber wheel 46 fixedly connected to its outer end. Each of the running frames 411 has a linear motion bar 47 fixedly connected to its top lower side. The linear motion bar 47 includes a rack 471 that meshes with the transmission gear 431 and a protrusion 472 that is fixedly connected to it. When the rubber wheel 46 contacts the protrusion 472, the transmission gear 431 disengages from the rack 471. When the rubber wheel 46 leaves the protrusion 472, the transmission gear 431 contacts the rack 471.

[0061] Thus, when the passage areas 441 of the two conveying rollers 44 are opposite, a gap is left between the two conveying rollers 44 for the lithium strip to pass through. When the lithium strip is located between the conveying rollers 44, the main shaft of the drive motor 451 can rotate forward, causing the two meshing transmission gears 431 to rotate, thereby causing the two opposing arc-shaped protrusions to clamp the lithium strip. Multiple different arc-shaped protrusions can accommodate lithium strips with different gaps. During clamping, the transmission gears 431 disengage from the rack 471, and the rubber wheel 46 contacts the protrusion 472. The limiting directions of the first one-way bearing 432 and the second one-way bearing 433 are opposite. The functions of the first one-way bearing 432 and the second one-way bearing 433 are as follows: When the conveyor roller 44 is rotating and clamping, the rubber wheel 46 does not rotate while the conveyor roller 44 can rotate, so that the slider 42 itself does not move. After clamping is completed, the lithium strip is pulled. At this time, the main shaft of the drive motor 451 reverses, causing the rubber wheel 46 to drive the slider 42 to move. In the latter part, the transmission gear 431 drives the slider 42 to move when it is engaged with the rack 471, so that the lithium strip is brought out while being clamped. The clamping and moving states do not interfere with each other. After the lithium strip is conveyed, the slider 42 moves a certain distance towards the extrusion chamber 37. At the same time, the conveyor roller 44 will also loosen the clamping of the lithium strip due to rotating a certain angle, which facilitates further operation of the extended lithium strip.

[0062] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the control assembly 6 includes a rod 61 fixedly connected to the front mold base 11, and a control box 62 fixedly connected to the end of the rod 61. A controller is provided inside the control box 62.

[0063] In this way, the overall control of the equipment can be achieved, such as adjusting the pressure required for different lithium strip products.

[0064] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, a ranging bracket 63 is also fixedly connected to the top of the front mold base 11 and the rear mold base 12. A displacement sensor 64 is provided on the ranging bracket 63, and the displacement sensor 64 is electrically connected to the controller.

[0065] Thus, the displacement sensor 64 is used to sense the precise extension and retraction of the compression cylinder 21.

[0066] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 2 As shown, the hydraulic station 5 includes an oil tank 51, a heater 52 is provided at the bottom of the oil tank 51, the heater 52 is connected to the oil circuit of the hydraulic station 5, the hydraulic station 5 also includes an oil cooler 53, the oil cooler 53 is connected to the oil circuit of the hydraulic station 5, and the hydraulic station 5 is located outdoors;

[0067] Thus, under normal circumstances, the hydraulic oil in hydraulic station 5 tends to have lower viscosity and reduced pressure stability in the summer high temperature, while the hydraulic oil tends to have higher viscosity in the winter low temperature, which slows down the response of the entire hydraulic system, reduces fluidity, and increases the load on the oil pump.

[0068] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 2 As shown, two linear guide rails 17 are fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the base 1 in a mirror image, and the two linear guide rails 17 are slidably connected to the locking beam 14 and the moving beam 16;

[0069] Thus, after the lithium strip is extruded, there will be residual metallic lithium in the extrusion head 22 due to the small gap between it and the extrusion chamber 37. The residual metallic lithium will not be evenly distributed. In order to reduce the wear between the extrusion head 22 and the extrusion chamber 37, it is necessary to ensure the accuracy of the axial movement of the moving mold beam 16 and the locking mold beam 14x.

[0070] In this embodiment, the operator places high-purity lithium metal in a state awaiting processing into the extrusion chamber 37. The extrusion head 22 in the extrusion power assembly 2 is used to extrude the lithium metal by controlling the assembly 6. The lithium metal flows in from the conical guide port 375 under pressure and flows out from the strip-shaped gap between the upper die 381 and the lower die 382 to form a lithium strip. The extruded lithium strip reaches the front of the traction assembly 4 through the guide plate 384. Finally, the traction assembly 4 clamps the lithium strip and transports it.
