The height adjustment mechanism 4 is provided with a guide roller 9 which is rotatably mounted on the adjusting part of the height adjustment mechanism 4, and the guide roller 9 is pressed on the O-ring 6. The front side of the frame 1 is provided with a translation mechanism 5, and the mounting frame 8 is fixed on the side of the moving part of the translation mechanism 5. The side of the frame 1 is provided with a power switch group 2 which is electrically connected to an external power supply. The output shaft of the stepper motor 10 drives the polishing roller 11 to rotate, so that the polishing roller 11 performs a polishing operation. The physical properties of the copper foil are regulated by controlling the ratio of the brightener to the single unit of the control system, and the control ratio is about 1:2. The O-ring 6 is pasted and filled in the O-groove. When During the operation of the cathode roller 7, the two O-rings 6 are in contact with each other and fill the O-shaped groove together, thereby enhancing the sealing effect of the O-ring 6 and preventing the groove liquid from entering the groove to cause edge sticking. The polishing roller 11 is translated to reduce the edge roughness of the cathode roller 7 and prevent the copper foil from sticking to the edge of the cathode roller 7 and causing edge tearing. The filling state of the O-ring 6 in the O-shaped groove is trimmed by adjusting the height of the guide roller 9, thereby improving the sealing of the O-ring 6 and preventing the O-ring 6 from being copper-plated on the titanium edge and causing edge tearing. A small-diameter O-ring 6 is then filled in the O-ring 6, and the two O-rings 6 are in contact with each other. Contact and fill the O-shaped groove together to enhance the sealing effect of the O-ring 6, avoid the groove liquid entering the groove and causing edge sticking, and extend the roll length of the 6-8μm ultra-thin lithium battery copper foil by avoiding the edge tearing phenomenon. By extending the number of meters of the electrolytic copper foil, the number of slitting times in the production process can be reduced, thereby reducing production costs and improving production efficiency.

[0018] The translation mechanism 5 includes a guide groove 52 and a transmission seat 54. The guide groove 52 is opened on the front side of the frame 1. The transmission seat 54 is slidably connected to the guide groove 52. The mounting frame 8 is fixed to the side of the transmission seat 54. The translation mechanism 5 also includes a servo motor 51 and a screw rod 53. The servo motor 51 is installed on the side of the frame 1. The screw rod 53 is rotatably installed on the inner side of the guide groove 52. The screw rod 53 is threadedly connected to the transmission seat 54. The output shaft of the servo motor 51 is fixedly connected to the end of the screw rod 53. The servo motor 51 is electrically connected to the power switch group 2. The output shaft of the servo motor 51 drives the screw rod 53 to rotate. The screw rod 53 and the transmission seat 54 are threadedly transmitted. The transmission seat 54 drives the installation frame 8 to rotate. The mounting frame 8 moves along the guide groove 52, thereby translating the polishing roller 11. Usually, the edge of the polishing roller 11 has a finer particle size and a lower surface roughness, and the copper coating is easy to be completely peeled off from the titanium substrate. After a certain period of immersion plating of the titanium edge that is easy to tear, the low roughness area of ​​the surface is lost due to pickling oxidation and the like, so that the high roughness area of ​​the sub-surface layer in some areas is exposed, thereby increasing the bonding force between the copper coating and the titanium substrate, resulting in abnormal edge sticking, which in severe cases leads to the number of meters not meeting the standard. Therefore, the edge of the polishing roller 11 is translated to the titanium edge through the translation mechanism 5 to avoid polishing the edge with a coarse-grained polishing brush, thereby avoiding the edge sticking and tearing caused by the increased surface roughness.

[0019] The height adjustment mechanism 4 includes a guide rod 43 and a mounting seat 42, the end of the guide rod 43 is fixedly connected to the frame 1, the mounting seat 42 is slidably connected to the guide rod 43 up and down, and the guide roller 9 is rotatably mounted on the side of the mounting seat 42. The height adjustment mechanism 4 also includes a scale 41, which is arranged on the surface of the guide rod 43 and distributed along the axial direction of the guide rod 43. The height adjustment mechanism 4 also includes an electric push rod 44, which is mounted on the top of the frame 1, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 44 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting seat 42, and the electric push rod 44 is electrically connected to the electric push rod 44. Source switch group 2, the telescopic end of the electric push rod 44 drives the mounting seat 42 to move up and down, the mounting seat 42 and the guide roller 9 slide up and down, the mounting seat 42 points to the scale 41 on the guide roller 9, and the adjustment height is determined by the reading on the scale 41. The mounting seat 42 drives the guide roller 9 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the working height of the guide roller 9. By re-adjusting the height of the guide roller 9, the filling state of the O-ring 6 in the O-groove is adjusted to ensure that the O-ring 6 and the end face of the cathode roller 7 are closely fitted to avoid excessive tank liquid entering the gap between the two and inducing copper plating and sticking on the edge.

[0020] The working principle of the anti-tearing edge device for the production of ultra-thin lithium battery copper foil provided by the utility model is as follows: the output shaft of the stepper motor 10 drives the polishing roller 11 to rotate, so that the polishing roller 11 performs a polishing operation, and the physical properties of the copper foil are regulated by controlling the ratio of the brightener to the single unit of the control system, and the control ratio is about 1:2. Usually, the edge of the polishing roller 11 has a finer particle size and a lower surface roughness, and the copper plating layer is easy to be completely peeled off from the titanium substrate. When the titanium edge on the side that is easy to tear is immersed in plating for a certain period of time, the low roughness area of ​​the surface layer is lost due to acid washing oxidation, etc., so that part of the The sub-surface high roughness area is exposed in different regions, thereby increasing the bonding force between the copper coating layer and the titanium substrate, resulting in abnormal edge sticking, which in severe cases leads to failure to meet the standard. Therefore, the edge of the polishing roller 11 is translated to the titanium edge by the translation mechanism 5 to avoid polishing the edge with a coarse-grained polishing brush, and to avoid edge sticking and tearing caused by increased surface roughness. The output shaft of the servo motor 51 drives the screw 53 to rotate, and the screw 53 and the transmission seat 54 are threadedly transmitted. The transmission seat 54 drives the mounting frame 8 to move along the guide groove 52, thereby translating the polishing roller 11;

[0021] The telescopic end of the electric push rod 44 drives the mounting seat 42 to move up and down, and the mounting seat 42 and the guide roller 9 slide up and down. The mounting seat 42 points to the scale 41 on the guide roller 9, and the adjustment height is determined by the reading on the scale 41. The mounting seat 42 drives the guide roller 9 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the working height of the guide roller 9. By re-adjusting the height of the guide roller 9, the filling state of the O-ring 6 in the O-groove is adjusted to ensure that the O-ring 6 and the end surface of the cathode roller 7 are closely attached to each other, and avoid excessive tank liquid entering the gap between the two to induce copper plating sticking at the edge;

[0022] An O-ring 6 is pasted and filled in the O-groove. When the cathode roller 7 is in operation, the two O-rings 6 come into contact with each other and fill the O-groove together, thereby enhancing the sealing effect of the O-ring and preventing the tank liquid from entering the tank and causing the edge sticking.
