[0034] The rotation of the rotating shaft of the present application can drive the first cutter and the second cutter to rotate, thereby realizing the slitting work; the second cutter of the slitting knife group mechanism is slidably set on the rotating shaft. When the distance between the cutters needs to be adjusted, the position of the second cutter relative to the first cutter is adjusted by the adjustment mechanism, so that the distance between the cutters can be changed, and the slitting size can be quickly changed.

[0035] In the present application, the cutters of the two cutting mechanisms in the same cutting assembly are arranged in coordination to meet the requirements of cutting materials. For example, the cutters in the two cutting mechanisms are positioned relative to each other and arranged like two blades of a pair of scissors. When the cutters are working, they can cut the materials.

[0036] In the present application, the slitting assembly includes a slitting mechanism that is relatively matched, which means that the slitting assembly is provided with two slitting mechanisms that cooperate with each other to achieve slitting. The slitting assembly may include one group of slitting assemblies or two or three groups of slitting assemblies, one group of slitting assemblies can act on one slitting material, and multiple groups of slitting assemblies can act on multiple slitting materials.

[0037] The present application is described below through a specific embodiment. The following embodiment is described by setting a group of cutting components on a fixed plate, and the cutting mechanism includes a first cutter and two second cutters.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the two slitting mechanisms of the slitting assembly are an upper slitting mechanism and a lower slitting mechanism, and the upper and lower slitting mechanisms have the same structure. The upper slitting mechanism includes a spline shaft A006 and an upper cutter 012, and the lower slitting mechanism includes a spline shaft B007 and a lower cutter 013. The upper slitting mechanism and the lower slitting mechanism both include a bearing seat 008, a bearing A009, a locking member 010, and a spline sleeve 011. The upper cutter 012 and the lower cutter 013 both include a first cutter and two second cutters, and the second cutters are located on both sides of the first cutter.

[0039] The fixed plate 001 is provided with a seat bearing 005, and the two ends of the spline shaft A006 and the spline shaft B007 are rotatably connected through the seat bearing 005 and the fixed plate 001. The spline shaft A006 and the spline shaft B007 are both connected with a first cutter and a second cutter located on both sides of the first cutter. The output end of the adjustment mechanism is connected to the second cutter through a connecting piece to adjust the position of the second cutter.

[0040] In a further embodiment, the adjustment mechanism includes a motor and a rack-and-pinion mechanism, the rack-and-pinion mechanism includes a gear 014, a forward rack 015 and a reverse rack 016, the gear 014 is arranged at the output end of the motor, a rack guide support 025 is arranged on the fixed plate along the axial direction of the spline shaft, the forward rack 015 and the reverse rack 016 are slidably arranged on the rack guide support 025, and the forward rack 015 and the reverse rack 016 are meshed with the gear 014. The end of the forward rack 015 away from the gear 014 is connected to the connecting piece through a connecting bar A018, and the end of the reverse rack 016 away from the gear 014 is connected to the connecting piece through a connecting bar B019. The motor includes motor A020 ​​and motor B021. Motor A020 ​​and motor B021 are both fixed on the fixed plate 001 through a motor seat. The output end passes through the fixed plate 001, and a bearing B023 is provided at the connection with the fixed plate 001. Motor A020 ​​and motor B021 work to control the gear rack mechanism in the upper and lower cutting mechanisms, so that the second cutter moves toward or away from the first cutter at the same time, thereby adjusting the distance.

[0041] Since the present application adopts a gear rack mechanism, when the gear rotates, the rack can drive the second cutters on both sides to move equidistantly, thereby achieving equidistant adjustment of the second cutter relative to the first cutter.

[0042] In a further embodiment, the connecting member is a guide rail slider assembly, which includes a slider plate and a guide rail arranged along the axis direction of the spline shaft, one end of the slider plate is slidably connected to the guide rail, and the other end is connected to the spline shaft through the bearing seat 008. Specifically, Figures 2 to 4 As shown, two bearing seats 008 are provided on the slider plate, and bearings A009 are provided in the bearing seats 008; the second cutter is connected to the spline shaft through a spline sleeve 011, and connecting grooves are provided at both ends of the outer ring of the spline sleeve 011, and the inner rings of the bearings A009 in the two bearing seats 008 are respectively sleeved in the connecting grooves at both ends. When the gear rack mechanism is working, the bearing seat 008 drives the spline sleeve 011 to move to adjust the position of the second cutter.

[0043] Furthermore, in order to ensure the fixing effect of the second cutter, a locking piece 010 is also provided, and both sides of the second cutter are fixed on the spline sleeve 011 through the locking piece 010.

[0044] In one embodiment, the first cutter is connected to the spline shaft in the same manner as the second cutter. Both ends of the spline sleeve at the first cutter are also limited by bearings and bearing seats. The bearing seat here is fixed on the fixed plate 001 to ensure that the first cutter cannot move axially along the spline shaft.

[0045] The driving part is a servo motor, which includes an upper cutter motor 002 and a lower cutter motor 003. The output ends of the upper cutter motor 002 and the lower cutter motor 003 are connected to the spline shaft through a coupling 004. The upper cutter motor 002 and the lower cutter motor 003 are used to control the upper cutting mechanism and the lower cutting mechanism respectively to achieve cutting. When working, the upper cutter motor 002 and the lower cutter motor 003 must work at the same time, and the motor A and the motor B also need to work at the same time. The rotation direction of the upper cutter motor 002 and the lower cutter motor 003, and the rotation direction of the motor A and the motor B are set as needed.

[0046] The utility model uses a servo motor as a power source to control the spline shaft to drive the slitting knife group to cut thin materials 024, and uses a servo motor to drive the gear rack to adjust the slitting size between the knife groups to an equal spacing, so as to achieve fast compatibility of different slitting sizes. In view of the development needs of industries such as battery cells, the adjustment of slitting size mostly relies on long-term shutdown for manual adjustment, and the amount of repetitive work is large. Therefore, the development of the industry must tend to automatically adjust the slitting size to reduce manual participation and shutdown adjustment time. After the implementation of the utility model, the slitting size adjustment, relative to other existing solutions: ① the slitting size can be adjusted at the same time at equal distances, ② no manual repetitive participation is required, the degree of automation is greatly improved, ③ fewer driving sources, and the cost is reduced. The utility model has the advantages of being able to automatically adjust the slitting size at an equal distance, reducing manual intervention, and avoiding excessive shutdowns that affect production efficiency and waste of labor costs.

[0047] It is known from common technical knowledge that the present invention can be implemented by other embodiments that do not deviate from its spirit or essential features. Therefore, the embodiments disclosed above are only illustrative in all respects and are not exclusive. All changes within the scope of the present invention or within the scope equivalent to the present invention are included in the present invention.
