[0013] The present application will now be further described in detail with reference to the drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams and only show the basic structure of the present application in a schematic manner, and thus only show the components related to the present application.

[0014] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be mechanically connected, or electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0015] Please refer to Figures 2-7 , in a first aspect, the present application discloses a kind of cleaning and etching equipment of laser energy storage directional irradiation high-speed moving pole piece material, including laser 4, beam expansion system 5, polarization system 6, field lens 7 and sensing device 8, the light source emitted by the laser is flat-top laser source 3, the beam expansion system is connected the laser and the polarization system, the polarization system is used to control or adjust the optical assembly of laser polarization state, the field lens is located at the bottom of the polarization system, the central axis of the field lens and the surface of walking belt 10 are perpendicular, the field lens is used to focus the laser beam reflected by the polarization system to working plane, simultaneously correct the light beam position distortion caused by polarization system swing, in turn can directly affect the precision, speed and light spot quality of laser processing / measurement, the sensing device is located in one side of the field lens, light source 9 is irradiated to the pole piece material on the walking belt via the sensing device.

[0016] In one embodiment, the laser is a pulse fiber laser (high precision, small thermal influence) or an ultraviolet laser (suitable for fine cleaning).

[0017] It can be understood that the laser can reduce the energy density by increasing the beam diameter, avoid damaging the optical element; by reducing the divergence angle, the collimation of the light beam can be improved, and the effective transmission distance can be prolonged; in addition, it can also match the input requirements of subsequent optical systems, such as focusing lens or telescope.

[0018] It can be understood that the field lens can be dynamically focused, that is, when the polarization system rotates, the laser incidence angle changes constantly, and the ordinary lens will cause the focal point position to deviate (field curvature phenomenon), and the field lens ensures that the light beam is focused on the same plane at different scanning angles through F-Theta correction, and linear scanning is performed; on the other hand, the field lens can also be distorted, that is, when the polarization system scans, the ordinary lens will introduce nonlinear distortion (such as image edge compression) due to the change of incidence angle, and the field lens eliminates such distortion through optical design (such as aspherical lens), and ensures the uniformity of the scanning area; on the other hand, the field lens can also optimize the spot quality, for example, aberration control, that is, to correct spherical aberration, coma and the like, to ensure that the focused spot approaches the diffraction limit (such as TEM00 mode of Gaussian beam), and for example, flattening treatment, that is, certain applications (such as uniform ablation) need to adjust the spot energy distribution from Gaussian type to flat type through field lens design.

[0019] In one embodiment, the sensing device is a CCD camera or a laser sensor, which detects the position of the pole piece and the mark point in real time.

[0020] In one embodiment, the over roller on the walking belt can flatten the pole piece material, and the motion platform driven by the high-precision servo motor or linear motor ensures uniform motion of the pole piece. For example, through PLC or industrial computer, motion control, laser parameters and visual feedback are integrated.

[0021] Please refer to Figure 8 , in a second aspect, the present application provides a cleaning and etching method for laser energy storage directional irradiation of high-speed moving pole piece material, comprising the following steps: Step 1: flatten the pole piece material on the walking belt, and ensure uniform motion of the pole piece through the motion platform driven by the high-precision servo motor or linear motor; Step 2: adjust the optical components of the polarization system to control or adjust the polarization state of the laser, and then adjust the spot position to follow and irradiate the spot; Step 3: detect the position of the pole piece and the mark point in real time through the sensing device; Step 4: laser motion cleaning of the pole piece material; Step 5: after cleaning, the cleaned pole piece material is dusted and wound.

[0022] The laser energy storage directional irradiation cleaning and etching equipment and method for high-speed moving pole piece material of the present application have the following advantages: First, the etching cleaning motion state is improved. The etching cleaning is performed on the high-speed moving material. The etching cleaning can be realized at a speed of 0-200 m / min or even higher. The speed of the moving light spot of the polarization system is greater than the speed of the moving material. The position is controllable. After the etching cleaning area is positioned, the laser positioning point can follow the movement of the material or complete the etching cleaning of the area with a positioning offset of less than ±0.2 mm within 100 ms. It can be understood that the etching cleaning object includes positive and negative material sheets, copper foil, aluminum foil, adhesive paper, aluminum plastic film and other auxiliary materials or sheet materials in the high-speed transmission state. Please refer to Figure 2 When the etching cleaning position of the object is captured, the laser emits strong irradiation, performs laser high-energy flat head (flat top) light source irradiation, realizes non-stagnation cleaning, the material is instantaneously broken and falls off under high-energy irradiation, and the foil is left with a smooth surface or a flat pit.

[0023] Secondly, the laser shape of the etching cleaning is improved. As shown in Figure 5 The existing laser etching cleaning adopts continuous laser to perform line marking or point connection laser etching cleaning. The spot diameter of the laser etching is less than 200 μm. The main laser etching is Gaussian peak laser. The present application is flat head (flat top) laser. The laser is filtered and shaped to filter out the peak and form a spot diameter of more than 1 mm, including 10 mm and even 30 mm or more. The flat head laser (flat top) can be composed of one spot or multiple spots. The spot shape is modulated and the light source is shaped into a special square spot. For example, the etching of the pole ear and the etching cleaning area of the embedded adhesive groove is a 12 mm*20 mm rectangular cleaning area, which can complete the cleaning of the whole surface at one time.

[0024] Thirdly, the position and mark point of the material sheet are detected in real time by a CCD camera or a laser sensor. The polarization system adjusts the spot instruction to follow the spot position and irradiation. The energy reaches a certain degree and completes the etching cleaning at one time. When the beam area needs to be adjusted, multiple lasers are gathered according to the actual needs to adjust the required area or shape, or the light distance is adjusted to realize the adjustment of the beam area. Please refer to Figure 6 The flat head (flat top) square face laser is irradiated to the spot of the material sheet. The spot can be one beam or multiple beams modulated and arranged. When the etching or cleaning depth needs to be adjusted, the peak of the laser can be adjusted to realize the operation. The production efficiency is improved.

[0025] The above merely describes the preferred embodiment of the present application, but the present application is not limited to other forms, any person skilled in the art can use the disclosed technical content to make changes or equivalent embodiments of equivalent changes applied to other fields, but as long as it does not deviate from the technical scheme of the present application, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification of the above embodiments according to the technical essence of the present application still belongs to the protection scope of the technical scheme of the present application, and in the description of the present application, it should be pointed out that unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connection" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or it can be integrally connected; it can be mechanically connected, or it can be electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium; it can be connected inside two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
