[0002] New energy batteries have been widely used due to their advantages of energy saving, environmental protection and low carbon. Among them, lithium batteries are the most widely used. From base stations to laptops and mobile phones, lithium batteries are indispensable. Lithium batteries need to be made through winding, liquid injection, sealing, formation and other processes. The two poles of the battery are aluminum electrodes and nickel electrodes respectively, but in actual production, both poles are required to be nickel electrodes, so we need to convert the current aluminum electrodes into nickel electrodes. We will use welding needles to weld the nickel electrodes to lithium batteries. Before welding, the nickel electrodes are on the nickel strip coil. When welding, the nickel electrodes are first punched out of the nickel strip. However, the nickel electrodes on the nickel strip sometimes have defective units. If they are accidentally welded to the battery, the entire battery will be judged as unqualified. Therefore, it is necessary to first detect the nickel electrodes on the nickel strip, screen out the unqualified nickel electrode units in advance and punch them out. In order to improve the accuracy of detection and punching, it is necessary to develop a nickel strip unwinding mechanism to make the unwinding process stable and accurate. Utility Model Content
