Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of electrolytic copper foil ear material cutting, and particularly relates to an electrolytic copper foil ear material cutting device and a regulating method. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the production process of electrolytic copper foil, the edge of the foil surface usually forms uneven excess parts that need to be cut off, which are referred to as "ear material". With the increasing demand for high-precision electrolytic copper foil for lithium batteries, the edge ear material usually needs to be cut off. The currently widely used ear material cutting device is usually composed of a cutting roller and a cutting knife, and the cutting of the ear material is realized through the shearing force formed between the two. In the prior art, a plurality of circumferential knife grooves of different widths are formed on the surface of the cutting roller in fixed positions along the axial direction of the cutting roller, and are used to place cutting blades or form cutting lines with the cutting blades. The position and width of the existing knife grooves are fixed, that is, the position of the knife grooves on the axial direction of the existing cutting roller (which determines the cutting position of the ear material) and the width of the knife grooves (which determines the thickness of the cut copper foil) are fixed by pre-processing. Once the cutting roller is manufactured, it cannot be changed. Furthermore, such a cutting roller has poor adaptability. When different width and thickness copper foils need to be produced, the cutting roller with corresponding knife groove position and width must be replaced, or multiple knife grooves of different widths are pre-set on the same cutting roller. The replacement process of the cutting roller is complicated and time-consuming, which affects the production efficiency. By pre-setting multiple knife grooves, the working surface of the cutting roller is no longer a smooth continuous cylindrical surface. When high-speed winding of ultra-thin electrolytic copper foil (such as thickness below 9 microns) passes through these invalid knife grooves, wrinkles are easily generated due to the small gap or depression, which seriously affects the flatness of the foil surface, and even causes the edge of the copper foil to be torn, resulting in downgraded products or waste products. In order to solve the above problems, an electrolytic copper foil ear material cutting device and a regulating method are provided. SUMMARY

There are also air inlets 6 on both sides that are connected to an external air pump to maintain internal air pressure. The collar 7 is sleeved on both sides of the cutting air film 4. Its outer diameter is the same as the outer diameter of the inflated cutting air film 4. The outer surface is provided with a blade groove 8 that cooperates with the cutter. The inner surface has an inwardly recessed arc-shaped limiting groove 9. The inflated cutting air film 4 fits into the limiting groove 9 to limit the collar 7. Support frame 10 is consistent with the length of the center roller 1, can be detached and installed on the support frame of the center roller 1, the inside is provided with a chute 11 towards the center roller 1, the chute 11 is provided with a bidirectional screw rod 12, the bidirectional screw rod 12 is connected with the external controller, the chute 11 is also provided with two connecting blocks 13 threaded on the bidirectional screw rod 12, each connecting block 13 is provided with a jaw 14 at the front end, the jaw 14 has an adjustable tightness structure for clamping different sizes of the sleeve ring 7 and cooperating with the sleeve ring 7.

[0011] Working principle: The un-inflated cutting air film 4 is sleeved on the center roller 1, and the two ends of the two are aligned, the positioning groove 5 on the cutting air film 4 corresponds to the positioning edge 3 on the center roller 1, so that the subsequent cutting air film 4 can be accurately installed on the center roller 1; The two jaws 14 of the support frame 10 are used to clamp the two sleeve rings 7, the bidirectional screw rod 12 drives the connecting block 13 and the jaw 14, and then drives the two sleeve rings 7 to move simultaneously to the middle in the chute 11, and stops moving after reaching the appropriate position, at this time the knife groove 8 above the sleeve ring 7 is aligned with the cutter, and the preparation for the subsequent cutting is completed; The cutting air film 4 is inflated through the inflation port 6, after the cutting air film 4 is inflated, the inner wall is attached to the outer wall of the center roller 1, and the cutting air film 4 is attached to the center roller 1 through the cooperation of the positioning edge 3 and the positioning groove 5, at the same time, the cutting air film 4 at the position of the sleeve ring 7 is limited by the inner wall of the sleeve ring 7, and cannot be flush with the positions on both sides, the outer diameter of the sleeve ring 7 at this position is flush with the cutting air film 4 on both sides and is attached, the cutting air film 4 at this position is attached to the limiting groove 9 of the sleeve ring 7 upward, which ensures the stability of the sleeve ring 7 position, during the inflation process, the cutting air film 4 gradually expands and tightly attaches to the outer wall of the center roller 1, the cooperation of the positioning edge 3 and the positioning groove 5 makes the cutting air film 4 not move in the axial direction, and the cutting air film 4 at the position of the sleeve ring 7 can only maintain a stable shape at this position due to the limitation of the limiting groove 9 of the inner wall of the sleeve ring 7, thereby ensuring the fixation of the sleeve ring 7 position; During the inflation process of the cutting air film 4, the cutting air film 4 has a certain supporting effect on the sleeve ring 7, the jaws 14 on the support frame 10 are loosened, the bidirectional screw rod 12 controls the two jaws 14 to move outward, after the cutting air film 4 is inflated, the whole support frame 10 is taken off, reducing the influence on the copper foil ear material cutting; The center roller 1 drives the cutting air film 4 to operate, the cutter and the knife groove 8 on the sleeve ring 7 cooperate to cut the copper foil ear material, the center roller 1 rotates under the drive of the motor, drives the cutting air film 4 and the sleeve ring 7 to rotate together, the cutter cooperates with the knife groove 8 on the sleeve ring 7 to cut the copper foil ear material; When it is necessary to adjust the cutting position or width of the ear material, the air pressure inside the cutting air film 4 is reduced through the air inlet 6, causing the shape of the cutting air film 4 to change. At this time, the left and right positions of the collar 7 can be adjusted by the gripper 14 on the support frame 10. After adjusting to the appropriate position, air is injected into the cutting air film 4 again, and the cutting air film 4 returns to its shape and fits tightly with the collar 7.
