Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of slitting and rolling devices for battery pole pieces, in particular to a slitting and rolling machine and a slitting and rolling line thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, there is a rolling process in the processing technology of lithium battery pole pieces, which is to roll the dried electrode active material on the substrate through a roller press to make the electrode active material on the substrate reach a thickness and density that meets certain requirements; then, the whole lithium battery pole piece is cut into multiple narrower lithium battery pole pieces by a slitting mechanism.

[0003] For a whole-width lithium battery pole piece coated with multiple (at least two or more) mutually spaced electrode active materials along the length direction of the substrate, during rolling, in addition to applying downward pressure to compact the electrode active material, the roller press also applies a forward pulling force to the lithium battery pole piece, which is generated by the friction between the rolling roller and the surface of the lithium battery pole piece. In actual production, the roller press also applies a pulling force in the width direction of the lithium battery pole piece, which is generated by rolling the electrode active material. Ideally, the pulling force applied by the roller press to the lithium battery pole piece in the width direction should be uniform and equal; however, in the actual rolling process, the pulling force of the roller press on the two adjacent areas coated with electrode active materials is not completely consistent, which causes the blank substrate located between the two areas coated with electrode active materials to wrinkle.

[0004] In addition, in the prior art, since the elongation rate of the area coated with the electrode active material and the blank area without the electrode active material on the entire lithium battery pole piece is different after being compressed, the substrate in the blank area will also be wrinkled. This problem has always plagued the manufacturing of lithium battery pole pieces.

[0005] Furthermore, during the rolling process of the entire lithium battery pole piece, uneven pressure and unevenness caused by wrinkles in the substrate will further lead to the appearance of flow lines in the electrode active material area after rolling.

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, Chinese patent document CN 112872825 A discloses a rolling and slitting integrated machine, including an unwinding mechanism, a rolling mechanism, a slitting mechanism, a first adjusting component and a second adjusting component, wherein the rolling mechanism is arranged on one side of the unwinding mechanism, and the rolling mechanism is used to roll the material strip; the slitting mechanism is used to slit the material strip into a first strip and a second strip; the first adjusting component is used to stabilize the tension fluctuation of the material strip between the unwinding mechanism and the rolling mechanism; and the second adjusting component is used to stabilize the tension fluctuation of the material strip between the rolling mechanism and the slitting mechanism.

[0007] The above-mentioned roller pressing and slitting machine in the prior art stabilizes the tension fluctuation during the material belt conveying process before and after the roller pressing process by setting a first adjustment component and a second adjustment component, thereby avoiding the problem of wrinkling of the material belt; although the roller pressing and slitting machine can effectively reduce the wrinkling problem of the blank substrate, this roller pressing machine cannot completely eliminate the wrinkling phenomenon. Therefore, this roller pressing still has room for improvement to further reduce or eliminate the wrinkling phenomenon of the blank substrate. Utility Model Content
