Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated equipment, and more specifically to a device for separating electrode bonding materials. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing awareness of health management and the expansion of the diabetic patient population, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology has become a core technology in the field of blood glucose management because it can monitor blood glucose levels in real time and continuously, providing accurate data support for the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes. Its market demand is rapidly increasing.

[0003] Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), as the core carrier of this technology, is a complex system composed of a variety of precision components, including signal acquisition, processing and transmission, power supply and protection, and fixed auxiliary components. Specifically, it includes a flexible probe integrating working and reference electrodes, a signal conditioning chip, a microcontroller (MCU), a low-power wireless communication module (Bluetooth / NFC), a micro battery, an inner and outer shell, biocompatible adhesive, and auxiliary components such as a temperature compensation sensor, sealing gaskets, and activation switches. All components need to be assembled with high precision to form a complete product in order to realize the functions of continuous acquisition, processing, transmission and accurate monitoring of blood glucose signals.

[0004] Among them, the electrode is the core functional component for signal acquisition in CGM products. Its structural precision and integrity directly determine the accuracy of blood glucose monitoring data. One of the key steps in the electrode manufacturing process is to separate the integrated electrode connecting material (a connecting structure formed by connecting several independent electrodes through waste areas) into individual independent electrodes so that they can be assembled with other components with high precision in the future.

[0005] In existing CGM electrode manufacturing processes, the separation of electrode bonding material primarily employs traditional punching and stamping technology. This technology utilizes a high-precision, sharp punch and a matching die, employing the punch's shearing force to cut away the waste areas in the electrode bonding material, thereby achieving the separation of individual electrodes. However, because CGM product electrodes are miniature precision components with a thin body structure and high dimensional accuracy requirements, traditional punching and stamping technology has significant drawbacks in practical applications. Specifically, the rigid contact between the sharp punch and the electrode bonding material during the punching process easily generates instantaneous impact forces. These impact forces can easily cause deformation, cracks, or even breakage of the electrode body, leading to electrode malfunction and severely impacting product yield.

[0006] In addition, the incoming material design of the electrodes used in CGM products has the structural characteristic of easy stripping of waste materials. Traditional punching and stamping technology does not make full use of this characteristic, and instead leads to the above-mentioned technical problems due to over-reliance on cutting force.

[0007] Therefore, the existing technology lacks an electrode connection material separation device that can take advantage of the incoming material structure, avoid accidental damage to the electrode body, and has controllable cost, which restricts the large-scale, efficient, and automated production of CGM products. There is an urgent need to provide a device that can separate the electrode connection material using a break-off stamping method to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The present invention overcomes the shortcomings of the above-mentioned technologies and provides a separation device for electrode bonding materials.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A separation device for electrode bonding materials includes a rotary feeder and a material stamping machine disposed in front of the rotary feeder. The rotary feeder holds materials to be processed, which include a plurality of electrode plates arranged side-by-side at equal intervals and connecting plates connecting adjacent electrode plates. The material stamping machine includes a support frame, an X-axis moving module mounted on the support frame, a Y-axis moving module slidably connected to the X-axis moving module, and a stamping head slidably connected to the Y-axis moving module. The stamping head includes a connecting seat, a stamping head mounted on the connecting seat, a Y-axis drive mechanism for driving the stamping head, and pre-pressing mechanisms respectively disposed on the left and right sides of the stamping head. The X-axis moving module drives the Y-axis moving module, and the Y-axis moving module drives the stamping head. After the pre-pressing mechanism positions and fixes the material, the Y-axis drive mechanism drives the stamping head downwards to separate the material.

[0010] Preferably, the rotary feeder includes an adjustable machine base, a drive motor mounted on the machine base, and a turntable connected to the drive motor. A fixture is mounted on the turntable, and a receiving groove for accommodating materials is provided on the fixture. An air pipe connector communicating with the receiving groove is connected to the side wall of the receiving groove. The air pipe connector is connected to an external air extraction device. A clearance groove for avoiding connecting pieces is also recessed in the receiving groove.

[0011] Preferably, the X-axis moving module includes a first linear module body, a first motor connected to one end of the first linear module body, and a first guide rail arranged side by side at the front end of the first linear module body. The Y-axis moving module is slidably connected to the first linear module body through a first slide block and slidably connected to the first guide rail through a first slider. A first sensor is installed on the first linear module body.

[0012] Preferably, the Y-axis moving module includes a fixed base, a second linear module body mounted on the fixed base, and a second motor connected to the upper end of the second linear module body. A second sensor is mounted on the second linear module body, and the connecting base is slidably connected to the second linear module body through a second slide block.

[0013] Preferably, the fixing base includes a base plate and an adjustable bracket connected to the base plate, and an adjusting bolt is provided between the base plate and the bracket.

[0014] Preferably, the Y-axis drive mechanism includes an electric cylinder mounted on a connecting seat and a connecting frame connected to the lower end of the electric cylinder. A first fixing plate is connected to the electric cylinder, and the front end of the connecting frame is slidably connected to the first fixing plate. The punch head is mounted on the connecting frame.

[0015] Preferably, two third sensors are installed on the connecting base in a symmetrical arrangement, and a first protrusion plate for passing through and triggering the third sensors is installed on the connecting frame.

[0016] Preferably, the punch head includes a second fixed plate, a connecting block slidably connected to the second fixed plate, and a punch installed at the lower end of the connecting block. A first spring is connected between the second fixed plate and the connecting block. A fourth sensor is installed on the fixed plate, and a second protrusion plate for passing through and triggering the fourth sensor is correspondingly installed on the connecting block. The punch includes a needle shank and a needle head located at the lower end of the needle shank. The diameter of the needle head is smaller than the diameter of the needle shank, thus forming a blocking portion located between the two. The connecting plate includes a through hole for the needle head to be inserted.

[0017] Preferably, the pre-compression mechanism includes a third fixed plate mounted on the connecting seat and a pressure block slidably connected to the third fixed plate. The pressure block includes a downwardly positioned pressure rod. The lower ends of the pressure blocks on the left and right sides are connected by a connecting plate. The upper end of one of the pressure blocks is connected to a cylinder for driving the movement of the pressure block. The cylinder is mounted and fixed on the connecting seat. A second spring is connected between the pressure block and the second fixed plate.

[0018] Preferably, a hydraulic damper is installed on one side of the pressing block.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: The electrode connection material separation device in this case employs a coordinated operation between a rotary feeder and a material stamping press to achieve continuous and stable feeding of the material to be processed, as well as stamping and separating the incoming material. The linkage between the X-axis and Y-axis moving modules enables precise positioning of the stamping head in three-dimensional space. Unlike the unidirectional movement limitations of traditional blanking equipment, this device can orderly separate multiple sets of parallel-connected electrode sheets. The pre-pressing mechanism of the stamping head works in synergy with the stamping head to perform pre-pressing and separation. The symmetrically distributed pre-pressing mechanisms on both sides firmly position and fix the electrode sheets on both sides of the connecting piece before separation, avoiding the problem of material movement in traditional blanking. This achieves a pull-out separation of the material, improving separation stability and avoiding damage to the electrode body caused by shearing force, as is present in existing technologies. This results in a highly efficient and low-damage separation effect, solving the problems of low yield and low efficiency in existing blanking-type separation technologies.

[0025] The following examples further illustrate the features and other related characteristics of the present invention in detail, to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art: For ease of description and understanding, please refer to the attached diagram for descriptions related to positional relationships such as front, back, top, bottom, left, right, outside, and inside, as well as descriptions related to X, Y, and Z axis directions.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the electrode connection material separation device provided in this case mainly includes two parts: a rotary feeder 100 and a material stamping machine 200 disposed in front of the rotary feeder 100. The material to be processed 500 is placed on the rotary feeder 100. The rotary feeder 100 is used to transfer the material to be separated 500 from the loading station to the stamping and separation station, providing a continuous and precise material supply to the material stamping machine 200; the material stamping machine 200 is used for the stamping and separation operation of the material 500.

[0027] The electrode bonding material to be separated by the device in this case is also... Figure 3 The material 500 in the process includes a number of electrode plates 501 arranged side by side at equal intervals and a connecting piece 502 (waste) connecting adjacent electrode plates 501.

[0028] Specifically, the material stamping press 200 includes a support frame 201, an X-axis moving module 1 mounted on the support frame 201, a Y-axis moving module 2 slidably connected to the X-axis moving module 1, and a stamping head 3 slidably connected to the Y-axis moving module 2. The support frame 201 serves as the load-bearing frame of the material stamping press 200, providing stable mounting support for the X-axis moving module 1, the Y-axis moving module 2, and the stamping head 3. The X-axis moving module 1 drives the Y-axis moving module 2, that is, it drives the Y-axis moving module 2 and the stamping head 3 to move along the X-axis direction (left-right direction), enabling the stamping head 3 to switch positions at different workstations or different separation points of the same material, expanding the stamping coverage area and improving production efficiency. The Y-axis moving module 2 is used to drive the movement of the stamping head 3. By driving the stamping head 3 up and down along the Y-axis direction (up and down direction), the stamping head 3 can move closer to or away from the material 500. The initial height of the stamping head 3 can also be set and adjusted through the Y-axis moving module 2 to adapt to materials 500 of different thicknesses.

[0029] Furthermore, the press head 3 includes a connecting seat 31, a press head 32 mounted on the connecting seat 31, a Y-axis drive mechanism 33 for driving the press head 32, and pre-pressing mechanisms 34 respectively disposed on the left and right sides of the press head 32. The press head 3, through the connecting seat 31, achieves modular installation of the press head 32, the Y-axis drive mechanism 33, and the pre-pressing mechanism 34, and transmits the lifting power of the Y-axis moving module 2 to each component, ensuring synchronized operation of all components. In specific implementation, after the pre-pressing mechanism 34 positions and fixes the material 500, the Y-axis drive mechanism 33 drives the press head 32 downwards to separate the material 500. In other words, after the electrode plates 501 on both sides of the connecting piece 502 are positioned and fixed by the pre-compression mechanism 34, the Y-axis drive mechanism 33 drives the punch head 32 to press down, thereby separating the connecting piece 502 from the electrode plates 501 on both sides. Through this structure of the punch head 3, the waste material 500 is separated from the electrode body by pressing, pushing and pulling. The symmetrically arranged pre-compression mechanisms 34 on the left and right sides ensure the accuracy of the separation of the material 500, prevent the material 500 from shifting due to the force of the punch head 32 during separation, and thus prevent damage to the electrode plates 501 on both sides, ensuring the stability of the material separation and guaranteeing the yield rate.

[0030] Reference Figures 1-3As shown, specifically, the rotary feeder 100 of this invention includes an adjustable base 101, a drive motor 102 mounted on the base 101, and a turntable 103 connected to the drive motor 102. In practice, the adjustable base 101 can be adjusted in height and in its forward, backward, left, and right positions to accommodate different installation platforms and material specifications, improving the overall compatibility of the equipment. Preferably, the drive motor 102 is a direct-drive motor, with its output shaft centrally connected to the turntable 103, supporting intermittent indexing rotation control, high rotational accuracy, and stable output torque. The drive motor 102 provides power for the rotation of the turntable 103, driving the fixture table 104 to precisely switch between loading, separating, and unloading stations. A fixture table 104 is installed on the turntable 103. Preferably, four fixture tables 104 are equidistantly arranged along the outer periphery of the turntable 103. The four fixture tables 104 correspond to the loading, separating, unloading and standby stations respectively, forming a continuous operation flow.

[0031] Furthermore, a receiving groove 1041 for accommodating material 500 is provided on the fixture table 104. An air pipe connector 1042, communicating with the receiving groove 1041, is connected to the side wall of the receiving groove 1041 and is connected to an external air extraction device. In specific implementation, the receiving groove 1041 is used to accommodate material 500, and the shape of the receiving groove 1041 is adapted to the material to achieve initial positioning of material 500. The air pipe connector 1042 guides the negative pressure generated by the external air extraction device into the receiving groove 1041, further fixing the material 500 through negative pressure adsorption, preventing the material 500 from tilting or shifting during the rotation of the turntable 103 and separation process, thus ensuring the separation accuracy and stability of the material 500. A clearance groove 1043 is also recessed within the receiving groove 1041 to allow the connecting piece 502 to pass. This provides space for the connecting piece 502, preventing interference between the connecting piece 502 and the bottom of the receiving groove 1041 during separation. Simultaneously, it provides travel space for the downward pressing action of the stamping head 32, thereby eliminating mechanical interference between the connecting piece 502 and the receiving groove 1041. This ensures that the stamping head 32 can smoothly act on the connecting piece 502, preventing deformation or incomplete separation due to interference. The travel space provided by the clearance groove 1043 allows the stamping head 32 to apply sufficient tensile force, improving separation reliability, while preventing the stamping head 32 from colliding with the fixture table 104 and damaging the fixture 104 or the stamping head 32.

[0032] Refer to the reference. Figure 2As shown, the X-axis moving module 1 of this invention includes a first linear module body 11, a first motor 12 connected to one end of the first linear module body 11, and a first guide rail 13 arranged side-by-side at the front end of the first linear module body 11. The first linear module body 11 provides the mounting base and transmission carrier for X-axis movement, and the first motor 12 provides power for X-axis movement, driving the Y-axis moving module 2 to move precisely along the X-axis direction through a drive transmission mechanism. The Y-axis moving module 2 is slidably connected to the first linear module body 11 through a first slide block 14 and slidably connected to the first guide rail 13 through a first slider 15. The dual-guide structure of the first linear module body 11 and the first guide rail 13 in this invention significantly improves the load-bearing capacity and movement stability of the Y-axis moving module 2, avoiding swaying or accuracy reduction caused by uneven load due to a single guide. The parallelism design of the first guide rail 13 and the first linear module body 11 ensures the straightness of the X-axis movement trajectory, further improving the positioning accuracy of the stamping head 32, with small sliding clearance and low movement resistance. A first sensor 16 is installed on the main body 11 of the first linear module to detect the X-axis position of the Y-axis moving module 2 in real time and feed back the positioning signal to the control system to achieve precise positioning and travel limit of the Y-axis moving module 2 and avoid overtravel collision.

[0033] The Y-axis moving module 2 of this invention includes a fixed base 21, a second linear module body 22 mounted on the fixed base 21, and a second motor 23 connected to the upper end of the second linear module body 22. A connecting base 31 is slidably connected to the second linear module body 22 via a second slide block 25. The second linear module body 22 provides transmission and guidance for Y-axis (up and down) movement, and the second motor 23 provides power to drive the connecting base 31 to precisely raise and lower the stamping head 3. Simultaneously, the raising and lowering position of the stamping head 3 can be adjusted and controlled to accommodate materials 500 of different thicknesses, increasing the versatility of the device. A second sensor 24 is installed on the second linear module body 22 to precisely control the entire stroke of the stamping head 3 and prevent overtravel collisions.

[0034] As described above, in this case, the specific structure of the linear module body is preferably a synchronous belt type linear module. The synchronous belt type linear module includes a belt, linear guide rail, metal profile base and housing, coupling, motor, photoelectric sensor, etc. Therefore, other specific structures of the linear module body not mentioned in this case can be implemented with reference to existing synchronous belt type linear modules. In specific implementation, a servo motor is used as the drive motor to provide power to the linear module body. Synchronous belt drives have the advantages of high speed, low noise, long stroke, and reliable operation.

[0035] Continue to refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, further in this embodiment, the fixed base 21 includes a base plate 211 and a bracket 212 adjustablely connected to the base plate 211. An adjusting bolt 213 is provided between the base plate 211 and the bracket 212. By adjusting the bolt 213, fine-tuning of the fixed base 21 can be achieved, which can compensate for errors generated during equipment installation and ensure the installation accuracy of the Y-axis moving module 2 and the stamping head 3. At the same time, it facilitates the adaptation of electrode connecting materials of different thicknesses and specifications, improving equipment compatibility.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the Y-axis drive mechanism 33 of this invention includes an electric cylinder 331 mounted on a connecting seat 31 and a connecting frame 332 connected to the lower end of the electric cylinder 331. A first fixed plate 333 is connected to the electric cylinder 331, and the front end of the connecting frame 332 is slidably connected to the first fixed plate 333. The punch head 32 is mounted on the connecting frame 332. Preferably, the sliding connection mentioned in this invention adopts a sliding block and slide groove or a sliding block and slide rail combination. The upper end of the connecting frame 332 is connected to the electric cylinder 331, the lower end is mounted with the punch head 32, and the front end is slidably connected to the first fixed plate 333, forming a complete transmission chain for driving the punch head 32. The Y-axis drive mechanism 33 is driven by the electric cylinder 331, and with the sliding guide structure of the first fixed plate 333 and the connecting frame 332, it ensures that the punch head 32 moves accurately in the vertical direction, avoiding accidental damage to the electrode sheet 501 caused by horizontal deviation. The electric cylinder can achieve precise adjustment of stamping stroke, speed and thrust, and is compatible with connecting plates 502 of different connection strengths to ensure thorough separation without excessive impact.

[0037] Furthermore, to achieve upper and lower limit positioning of the stamping head 32, prevent the electric cylinder 331 from overtraveling and colliding, and ensure the accuracy and stability of stamping separation, two symmetrically arranged third sensors 334 are installed on the connecting seat 31. A corresponding first protrusion 335 is installed on the connecting frame 332 to pass through and trigger the third sensors 334. Through the cooperation of the first protrusion 335 and the third sensors 334, the upper and lower limit positions of the connecting frame 332 are detected in real time, and feedback signals indicating the stamping head 32 has reached its reset and separation positions are provided, thus achieving stroke limit and closed-loop control of the electric cylinder 331. In specific implementation, the sensors mentioned in this case are preferably slot-type photoelectric sensors, which have advantages such as high detection accuracy and fast response speed.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the punch head 32 of this invention includes a second fixed plate 321, a connecting block 322 slidably connected to the second fixed plate 321, and a punch 323 mounted on the lower end of the connecting block 322. A first spring 324 is connected between the second fixed plate 321 and the connecting block 322. The second fixed plate 321 provides mounting support for the connecting block 322, the first spring 324, and the fourth sensor 325. The connecting block 322 carries the punch 323 and slides along the second fixed plate 321, realizing the elastic pressing and resetting of the punch 323. The first spring 324 provides elastic buffering for the connecting block 322, making the pressing action of the punch 323 buffered. After the material 500 is separated, the elastic resetting of the first spring 324 drives the connecting block 322 and the punch 323 back to their initial positions. The first spring 324 can effectively absorb the instantaneous impact force when the punch 323 contacts the connecting piece 502, and prevent the electrode piece 501 from being damaged by rigid impact; at the same time, it ensures that the punch 323 has stability when it is pressed down, so that it can completely break the connecting piece 502 without excessively squeezing the material.

[0039] Furthermore, a fourth sensor 325 is installed on the fixed plate 321, and a second protruding plate 326 is correspondingly installed on the connecting block 322 to trigger the fourth sensor 325. Through the cooperation of the fourth sensor 325 and the second protruding plate 326, the position of the connecting block 322 is detected in real time, thereby detecting the action state of the punch 323. This ensures that the needle head 3232 accurately inserts into the through hole 5021 and reaches the preset breakage depth, avoiding incomplete separation due to shallow insertion or damage to the electrode sheet 501 due to excessive insertion. Simultaneously, it ensures that the connecting block 322 drives the punch 323 back to its initial position, preparing for the next separation action. The coordinated operation of the fourth sensor 325 and the third sensor 334 forms a dual position detection system, further improving the reliability of the separation process.

[0040] The punch 323 includes a needle bar 3231 and a needle head 3232 located at the lower end of the needle bar 3231. The diameter of the needle head 3232 is smaller than the diameter of the needle bar 3231, thus forming a blocking part 3233 located between the two. The connecting piece 502 includes a through hole 5021 for inserting the needle head 3232. In specific implementation, the shape and structure of the needle head 3232 of the punch 323 are designed to match the through hole 5021, and the diameter of the through hole 5021 is smaller than the diameter of the needle shank 3231. This allows the blocking part 3233 to abut against the wall surface of the connecting piece 502 outside the through hole 5021 after the needle head 3232 is inserted into the through hole 5021. This is the key part for separating the connecting piece 502 from the electrode piece 501. By resisting the downward push of the connecting piece 502 wall surface, the connecting piece 502 is pulled off from the electrode pieces 501 on both sides, resulting in a concentrated distribution of the breaking force. Utilizing the weak connection characteristics of the connecting piece 502, efficient breaking separation is achieved, reducing the required driving force. At the same time, the formed blocking part 3233 can precisely control the insertion depth of the needle head 3232, preventing the needle head 3232 from contacting the fixture table 104 and damaging the needle head 3232 or from being excessively pressed down and damaging the electrode piece 501. The through hole 5021 is used to cooperate with the needle head 3232 and guide the needle head 3232 to act precisely on the connecting piece 502, so that the breaking force is concentrated at the connection between the connecting piece 502 and the electrode piece 501.

[0041] Continue to refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the pre-pressing mechanism 34 of this invention includes a third fixing plate 341 mounted on the connecting seat 31 and a pressing block 342 slidably connected to the third fixing plate 341. The pressing block 342 includes a downwardly positioned pressing rod 3421. The third fixing plate 341 provides mounting and guiding support for the pressing block 342, and the pressing block 342, through its slidable connection with the third fixing plate 341, drives the pressing rod 3421 to slide up and down. In specific implementations, the pressing rod 3421 is preferably made of a flexible material such as silicone to ensure that while pressing the electrode plates 501 on both sides of the connecting piece 502, damage to the electrode plates 501 on both sides can be effectively avoided.

[0042] The lower ends of the pressing blocks 342 on the left and right sides are connected by connecting plates 343. The upper end of one pressing block 342 is connected to a cylinder 344 for driving the movement of the pressing block 342. The cylinder 344 is mounted and fixed on the connecting seat 31. The pressing blocks 342 on the left and right sides are connected together by the connecting plates 343 to form a modular structure. This allows one cylinder 344 to drive the pressing blocks 342 on both sides synchronously, achieving synchronous pressing on both sides. This ensures that the force on both sides of the connecting piece 502 is uniform, and that the pressing force on the electrode pieces 501 on both sides is consistent, preventing the material 500 from being misaligned or tilted. At the same time, it reduces the material cost and space occupied by the pre-pressing mechanism 34.

[0043] A second spring 345 is connected between the pressing block 342 and the second fixed plate 321. The elastic buffer function of the second spring 345 avoids the rigid impact driven by the cylinder 344, effectively protecting the electrode sheet 501. On the other hand, the pre-compression of the second spring 345 ensures that the pressure rod 3421 has a stable pre-pressure, so that even if there are slight dimensional deviations in the material, reliable clamping can be achieved through spring deformation. Correspondingly, when the second spring 345 returns to its original position, it can assist the pressing block 342 in resetting, improving the operating efficiency of the pressing mechanism 34 and reducing the driving force requirement of the cylinder 344.

[0044] Preferably, a hydraulic buffer 346 is installed on one side of the pressure block 342 to absorb the impact force when the pressure block 342 is pressed down to the limit position, limit the maximum pressing stroke of the pressure block 342, avoid excessive pre-pressing and damage to the electrode sheet 501, further enhance the buffering effect of the pre-pressing action, reduce the impact load driven by the cylinder 344, accurately limit the maximum pre-pressing stroke, and avoid deformation of the electrode sheet 501 caused by excessive pressing of the pressure rod 3421.

[0045] The following describes the complete working principle of the device in this case, based on the full text: Before starting the equipment, the height and position (front, back, left, and right) of the adjustable base 101 of the rotating feeder 100 are adjusted to compensate for installation errors, ensuring that the receiving slot 1041 of the fixture table 104 is precisely aligned with the punching head 32 of the material punching machine 200. At the same time, the position of the bracket 212 is finely adjusted using the adjusting bolts 213 of the fixed seat 21 to ensure that the main body 22 of the second linear module is installed vertically. The material to be processed 500 is placed into the receiving slot 1041 of the fixture table 104 at the feeding position on the turntable 103. This step can be done manually or automatically by a robotic arm. In this case, automatic feeding by a robotic arm is preferred. An external air extraction device creates a negative pressure in the receiving slot 1041 through the air pipe connector 1042 to adsorb the material 500.

[0046] After the equipment is started, the drive motor 102 drives the turntable 103 to rotate intermittently, transferring the jig table 104 containing the material 500 to the separation station and stopping it. The first motor 12 drives the first linear module body 11 of the X-axis moving module 1 to move, driving the Y-axis moving module 2 to slide along the first linear module body 11 and the first guide rail 13 through the first slide block 14 and the first slider 15. After the first sensor 16 detects the target X-axis position, the Y-axis moving module 2 stops precisely, so that the punch head 32 is aligned with the through hole 5021 of the first connecting piece 502. Subsequently, the second motor 23 drives the second linear module body 22 of the Y-axis moving module 2 to move, causing the stamping head 3 to descend. When the second sensor 24 detects the pre-pressing position, the cylinder 344 starts, driving one side of the pressing block 342 to press down. The second spring 345 stretches to generate elastic tension, which drives the other side of the pressing block 342 to move synchronously through the connecting plate 343. The silicone pressure head of the pressure rod 3421 presses the electrode plates 501 on both sides of the connecting piece 502. The hydraulic buffer 346 absorbs the downward impact and limits the stroke. The second spring 345 provides elastic pre-pressing. After the pre-pressing is in place, the electric cylinder 331 drives the connecting frame 332 along the... The first fixed plate 333 slides, causing the punch 323 of the stamping head 32 to move downwards. The punch head 3232 inserts into the through hole 5021 of the connecting piece 502. The first spring 324 stretches to generate elastic tension. The blocking part 3233 abuts against the wall of the connecting piece 502 and pushes downwards, pulling the connecting piece 502 and the electrode piece 501 apart. After the fourth sensor 325 detects that the punch 323 has separated into place, the electric cylinder 331 reverses its action. The first spring 324 resets, causing the punch 323 to return to its initial position. At the same time, the cylinder 344 drives the pressure block 342 to reset, and the second spring 345 simultaneously drives the pressure block 342 to reset. Under normal conditions, when the stamping head 3 descends and is initially positioned, both the first spring 324 and the second spring 345 serve as reset and buffer functions. The X-axis moving module 1 drives the Y-axis moving module 2 to the position of the next connecting piece 502, repeating the above pre-compression, separation, and reset actions until all connecting pieces 502 of a single material are separated; the turntable 103 continues to rotate, transferring the separated independent electrode pieces 501 to the unloading station for removal, and the new material is sent to the loading station, and the equipment enters the next cycle, realizing continuous, accurate, and low-damage separation of electrode connecting materials.

[0047] As stated above, this case protects a separation device for electrode bonding materials, and all technical solutions that are the same as or similar to this case should be considered to fall within the protection scope of this case.
