[0002] During the manufacturing process of lithium battery cells, the pole piece and the diaphragm are rolled into a battery cell according to certain requirements through a series of actions of the winding head module. The alignment of the pole tabs on the pole piece is an important parameter of the battery cell quality. Sometimes, due to the difference in the thickness of the pole piece, the positive and negative pole tabs on the side of the battery cell are not aligned, causing the lithium battery cell produced to fail to meet the requirements and be scrapped. Changing the circumference of the winding needle is a way to align the pole tabs.
[0003] At present, the winding needles used in the lithium battery industry or other winding industries are fixed, which will result in the winding diameter being fixed; when the winding diameter needs to be adjusted, the winding needle can only be increased or decreased by replacing the winding needle or sticking a film on the winding needle, but this method is very time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the adjustment accuracy is very low, thus affecting the production quality of the battery cell and the overall production efficiency.
