DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] See also Figure 1-3As shown, the utility model relates to a lithium battery coating device, including a coating base 11, a film rolling roller assembly, a battery cell fixing fixture, and a scraper 21 assembly, wherein the film rolling roller assembly is arranged on the coating base 11, and the film rolling roller assembly is wound with a blue film roll; wherein the battery cell fixing fixture is fixed on the coating base 11, and is used to position the battery cell 2; the scraper 21 assembly is arranged on the coating base 11, wherein the scraper 21 assembly includes a scraper 21 and a scraper 21 sliding assembly, wherein the scraper 21 sliding assembly is slidably arranged on both sides of the coating base 11, and the two ends of the scraper 21 are respectively connected to the scraper 21 sliding assembly, and move along the coating base 11 direction through the scraper 21 sliding assembly.

[0026] The setting of the film roll assembly enables the blue film roll to be supplied to the coating process smoothly and continuously, thereby improving the coating efficiency. At the same time, the design of the film roll assembly also takes into account the convenience of replacing the blue film roll, so that the operator can quickly complete the replacement operation. The application of the battery cell fixing fixture ensures the stability of the battery cell 2 during the coating process. By accurately positioning the battery cell 2, the fixing fixture effectively prevents the battery cell 2 from moving or tilting during the coating process, thereby ensuring the quality and uniformity of the coating. The design of the scraper 21 assembly adopts a scraper 21 sliding assembly to realize the movement of the scraper 21. This design not only enables the scraper 21 to move smoothly along the direction of the coating base 11, but also can adjust the position and angle of the scraper 21 according to actual needs to adapt to battery cells 2 of different sizes and shapes. The function of the scraper 21 is to fit the blue film tightly to the surface of the battery cell 2, remove bubbles and wrinkles, and thus improve the quality and aesthetics of the coating.

[0027] In this specific embodiment, the battery cell fixing fixture includes a horizontal limit plate 13 and a vertical limit plate 12, and first waist holes 14 extending in the vertical direction are arranged on both sides of the surface of the film base 11, wherein the two ends of the horizontal limit plate 13 are fixed to the first waist holes 14 on both sides by screws; and a plurality of first positioning holes are arranged on the surface of the film base 11, and corresponding second positioning holes are also arranged at both ends of the vertical limit plate 12, wherein the vertical limit plate 12 is connected to the film base 11 by screws through the second positioning holes and the first positioning holes; and the vertical limit plate 12 and the horizontal limit plate 13 are placed in a perpendicular position to each other.

[0028] The battery cell fixing fixture adopts a combination design of a horizontal limit plate 13 and a vertical limit plate 12, which are placed perpendicular to each other to form a stable frame structure. This design can ensure that the battery cell 2 is accurately fixed at a predetermined position during the coating process to prevent it from moving or tilting during the coating process.

[0029] The horizontal limit plate 13 is fixed to the first waist hole 14 on both sides of the coating base 11 by screws, which means that the position of the horizontal limit plate 13 can be adjusted as needed. Similarly, the vertical limit plate 12 is connected to the coating base 11 by screws and positioning holes, and also has the ability to be flexibly adjusted. This design enables the fixing fixture to adapt to battery cells 2 of different sizes and shapes, improving the versatility and adaptability of the device. The horizontal limit plate 13 and the vertical limit plate 12 are firmly fixed to the coating base 11 by screws, forming a stable and reliable fixing structure. This design ensures the stability of the fixing fixture during the coating process and avoids problems such as displacement of the battery cells 2 or uneven coating due to loose fixation.

[0030] In this specific embodiment, the longitudinal section of the transverse limit plate 13 is a step-shaped structure, including a high step and a low step portion, and the low step portion is fixed to the first waist hole 14 on both sides by screws. The step structure design of the transverse limit plate 13 provides an operator with a clear cutting reference line. The presence of the high step and the low step enables the operator to more accurately locate the cutting position when cutting the blue film, thereby ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the blue film cutting. This design helps to reduce operating errors and improve the efficiency and quality of film encapsulation.

[0031] In this specific embodiment, the scraper 21 assembly includes a scraper 21, a scraper mounting plate 22, a guide rail 24, and a slider 23, wherein the guide rail 24 is arranged on both sides of the coating base 11, wherein the scraper mounting plate 22 is slidably assembled with the guide rail 24 through the slider 23, and the two ends of the scraper 21 are respectively connected to the two scraper mounting plates 22.

[0032] The scraper 21 can effectively fit the blue film tightly to the surface of the battery cell 2 through its special shape and structure. During the coating process, the scraper 21 slides along the surface of the battery cell 2 and compacts the blue film with its edge to ensure that there are no bubbles or wrinkles between the blue film and the battery cell 2, thereby achieving a high-quality coating effect. The sliding assembly structure of the scraper 21 assembly ensures the stability of the scraper 21 during operation. The precise matching of the guide rail 24 and the slider 23 enables the scraper 21 to slide smoothly along the surface of the battery cell 2 without shaking or deflection. This stability ensures the accuracy and consistency of the coating operation and improves the quality and efficiency of the coating.

[0033] In this specific embodiment, a second waist hole 221 is provided on the scraper mounting plate 22, and the two ends of the scraper 21 are fitted with the second waist hole 221 by bolts, and the scraper 21 is placed obliquely downward. By providing the second waist hole 221 on the scraper mounting plate 22, the two ends of the scraper 21 can be fitted with these waist holes by bolts, thereby realizing the flexible adjustment of the angle of the scraper 21. This design enables the operator to accurately adjust the angle of the scraper 21 according to the shape of the battery cell 2 and the coating requirements, ensuring that the blue film can be more closely and evenly attached to the surface of the battery cell 2. At the same time, the distance and angle between the scraper 21 and the battery cell 2 can be accurately controlled to adapt to the coating requirements of battery cells 2 of different specifications. This flexibility ensures that the coating device can be widely used in the production of various types of lithium batteries. The design of placing the scraper 21 obliquely downward enables the scraper 21 to more effectively compact the blue film downward during the coating process to eliminate possible bubbles and wrinkles. This downward pressure distribution not only improves the quality of the coating, but also makes the blue film fit more closely on the battery cell 2, reducing the defects that may occur during the coating process. Through the assembly method of the bolt and the second waist hole 221, the installation and removal of the scraper 21 becomes more convenient. The operator can quickly replace or adjust the scraper 21, which improves work efficiency. At the same time, this design also facilitates the maintenance and care of the scraper 21, extending its service life.

[0035] The film roll assembly is composed of a roller fixing plate 33, a roller 31, a fixing ring 32 and a blue film roll, and the parts are closely matched and the structure is stable. The roller fixing plate 33 is firmly arranged on both sides of the film encapsulation base 11, providing a solid support for the roller 31. The two ends of the roller 31 are respectively mounted on the roller fixing plate 33, ensuring the smooth rotation of the roller 31. The setting of the fixing ring 32 effectively clamps the blue film roll on the roller 31, preventing the blue film roll from moving or slipping during the film encapsulation process, thereby ensuring the continuity and stability of the film encapsulation.

[0036] In this specific embodiment, the first fixing bars 41 are respectively provided at the front and rear ends of the bottom of the film-wrapping base 11, and the second fixing bars 42 are respectively provided at the left and right sides of the bottom of the film-wrapping base 11.
