[0002] In the field of lithium battery manufacturing, especially in the production process of cylindrical battery cells, pole piece slitting is an important link. After the appearance inspection, the existing pole piece slitting section usually uses square label paper pasted on the edge to mark the bad pole piece, and then the reeling section scraps the bad pole piece in a single roll. However, this labeling method has obvious defects and shortcomings. The label paper is prone to breakage, distortion and falling off during the high-speed slitting process, which makes it difficult to identify bad pole pieces and increases the difficulty of production quality control. The label paper is attached to one side of the pole piece. As the reeling diameter increases, the diameters on both sides of the pole piece will be inconsistent, resulting in wavy edges, which will increase the scrap rate and even pose safety risks.

The scheme provides an inkjet marking device for lithium battery pole pieces, involving multiple components such as an ink storage tank, a collecting bin and an atomization bin. However, the inkjet system of the device alone is relatively complex and prone to high failure rates, and is not suitable for the high-speed production requirements of small-sized battery cells, and also increases the difficulty of subsequent maintenance.

[0018] A plurality of fixing clips 8 are evenly arranged on the cross bar 2 . The fixing clips 8 are sleeved on the outside of the cross bar 2 . The inkjet printer 5 is fixedly connected to the cross bar 2 via the fixing clips 8 .
[0019] A wire groove 9 is provided above the cross bar 2 . The longitudinal section of the wire groove 9 is square. The wire groove 9 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the cylinder 3 through the displacement groove 4 , so that the wire groove 9 and the cross bar 2 can be displaced synchronously.
[0020] A round hole is provided on one side of the wire slot 9, and the connecting wire of the inkjet printer is inserted into the wire slot 9 through the round hole.
[0021] A plurality of transition rollers 10 , a coding roller 11 and a reel 12 are also installed on the cabinet 1 ; the coding roller 11 is arranged directly below the coding machine 5 , and the reel 12 is arranged at the lower right of the coding machine 5 .
[0022] A pneumatic valve 13 is also installed on the cabinet 1, and the pneumatic valve 13 is connected to the cylinder 3 through an air pipe.
[0023] The defect recognition device 6 adopts a CCD visual detection system.
[0024] Specifically, firstly, the lithium battery electrode is placed in the feed port of the slitting and marking equipment, and the electrode is prepared to be slitting; the electrode enters the slitting area through the transition roller 10 of the slitting and marking equipment, and the function of the transition roller 10 is to ensure that the electrode enters the slitting process smoothly; before the electrode is slitting, it needs to be inspected for appearance by the defect recognition device 6. If the defect recognition device 6 recognizes that there are defects on the electrode, the defect recognition device 6 will synchronize the signal with the inkjet printer 5 through the synchronizer 7. The defects that can be identified by the defect recognition device 6 mainly include scratches, wrinkles, metal leakage, bright spots, decarbonization, bubbling, and perforation. , black spots, bubbles and splices; the synchronizer 7 is electrically connected to the inkjet printer 5 to ensure that the marking action is synchronized with the movement of the electrode. When the above defects are detected, the inkjet printer 5 performs the coding action. The inkjet printer 5 uses quick-drying white ink to print a mark with a width of 12mm and a length of 5mm at the center of the defective electrode. The thickness of the ink is only 0.001mm, which does not affect the flatness of the electrode; the marked electrode passes through the transition roller 10 and the coding roller 11, and is finally reeled up by the reel 12. The defective electrode after marking will be scrapped as a single roll after identification in the subsequent winding section.
[0025] Specifically, the pneumatic valve 13 is connected to the cylinder 3 through an air pipe. The pneumatic valve 13 is provided with an up button and a down button, which correspond to the upper and lower positions of the cross bar 2 and the wire slot 9 respectively. When in the lower position, the inkjet printer 5 performs marking at a position 2-5 mm away from the electrode; the connecting line of the inkjet printer 5 passes through the round hole on the wire slot 9 into the wire slot 9 to avoid the interference of the cable on the equipment; the cylinder 3 is connected to the cross bar 2 and the wire slot 9 through a piston rod, and the two ends of the cross bar 2 and the wire slot 9 move up and down synchronously in the displacement slot 4 on the cylinder 3. On the one hand, it can adapt to electrodes of different thicknesses. On the other hand, when preparing to insert the electrode before cutting, the inkjet printer 5 can be lifted to the upper position to provide space for convenient insertion of the electrode.
[0026] Specifically, the length of the transition roller 10, the inkjet roller 11 and the winding shaft 12 is set to 650 mm. The above width allows eight inkjet printers 5 to be set up in each row to perform marking at the same time. At the same time, by adding four rows of inkjet printers 5, the number of markings required for the production of thirty-two electrodes after slitting can be achieved, meeting various needs for slitting and marking of small battery cell electrode production.
[0027] The descriptions of the above specific implementation modes are all for illustrating the technical solutions of the present utility model rather than limiting them.
