Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of lithium battery manufacturing equipment, and particularly discloses a novel slitting tool rest mechanism with a blowing and dust suction device. Background Art

[0002] In the production process of lithium battery diaphragms, the slitting process is a key step. The slitting equipment cuts the large roll of diaphragm material into the required width through high-precision tools for subsequent winding and assembly. However, there is a common problem in the existing lithium battery diaphragm slitting equipment during use, that is, the phenomenon of dust accumulation at the knife edge. These dusts mainly come from the tiny debris generated during the cutting of the diaphragm material. As the slitting time increases, these debris gradually accumulate around the knife edge, forming dust.

[0003] The dust accumulated at the knife edge will not only affect the normal operation of the slitting equipment, increasing the frequency of maintenance and cleaning, but more importantly, these dusts may fall into the already slit diaphragms. Lithium battery diaphragms require extremely high cleanliness. Once dust adheres to the diaphragm, it may cause internal short circuit in the battery, reduce the battery performance, and even lead to safety accidents. Therefore, how to effectively solve the problem of dust accumulation during the slitting of lithium battery diaphragms has become the key to improving the diaphragm quality and ensuring the safety and performance of the battery.

[0004] In the prior art, generally, the dust, debris and other particles are removed from the slit electrode sheets through a brush mechanism with negative pressure. However, in actual applications, after the electrode sheets are cleaned by the brush, due to the relatively small overall negative pressure or air flow in the existing design, the dust, debris and other particles cannot be sucked away or remain on the brush, which is likely to cause secondary pollution. In addition, problems such as dust and debris particles will reduce the production yield of the subsequent process and cause the core to be scrapped, and the core is prone to internal short circuit, smoking, explosion and other problems during the formation process. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] In order to overcome the disadvantages and deficiencies existing in the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a slitting tool rest mechanism that can avoid dust accumulation on the tool, has high dust removal efficiency and good dust removal effect.

[0006] To achieve the above object, a novel slitting cutter head mechanism with a blowing and dust suction device of the present utility model includes a cutter base and an external cutter mounted on the cutter base; the slitting cutter head mechanism further includes a dust suction component and a blowing component. The dust suction component includes a dust suction hood with an accommodation cavity inside. The cutter base is placed in the accommodation cavity. The dust suction hood is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet communicating with the accommodation cavity. The air outlet is connected to an external suction fan, and the cutter extends out of the accommodation cavity through the air inlet; the blowing component is arranged on the cutter base. The blowing component is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet. The air inlet is communicated with an external fan, and the air outlet is arranged on the side of the blowing component close to the cutter. The present utility model blows away the dust accumulated at the cutting edge through the blowing component and absorbs it through the dust suction component, effectively preventing the dust generated during the cutting process from accumulating around the cutter, keeping the cutter clean, improving the slitting effect and the quality of the diaphragm, performing targeted dust removal, and avoiding the dust spilling and falling onto the wound pole piece, resulting in pole piece contamination, and can achieve the purpose of dust removal at the source.

[0007] Further, the blowing component is a trachea. One end of the air inlet of the blowing component passes through the dust suction hood and extends out of the accommodation cavity, and one end of the air outlet of the blowing component is connected to the cutter base. The trachea design enables the blowing component to better introduce external air and accurately transport the air flow to the vicinity of the cutter, enhancing the blowing effect and ensuring that the dust around the cutter can be promptly blown away by the air flow to prevent dust accumulation.

[0008] Further, the dust suction hood includes a first hood body, a second hood body and a third hood body.

The second side plates are connected to the first side plates. The second bottom plate includes a connecting portion connected to the first bottom plate and an arc portion adapted to the cutter base. The design of the arc portion can better guide the air flow. During the dust removal process, the air flow needs to quickly and smoothly pass around the cutter, carrying away the dust generated during the cutting process. The arc portion can reduce the resistance of the air flow and avoid the formation of eddy currents, making the dust suction efficiency higher.

[0011] Furthermore, the structure of the third cover body is the same as that of the second cover body.

[0012] Furthermore, at both ends of the first bottom plate away from each other, there are respectively provided a first bending portion and a second bending portion that bend towards the second bottom plates of the second cover body and the third cover body. The inner sides of the first bending portion and the second bending portion respectively abut against the second bottom plates of the second cover body and the third cover body.

The design of the arc portion 18 can better guide the airflow. During the dust removal process, the airflow needs to pass quickly and smoothly around the tool, carrying away the dust generated during the cutting process. The arc portion 18 can reduce the resistance of the airflow, avoid the formation of eddy currents, and make the dust collection efficiency higher.

[0034] The structure of the third cover body 12 is the same as that of the second cover body 11.

[0035] At both ends of the first bottom plate 13 away from each other, there are respectively provided a first bending portion 19 and a second bending portion 20 that bend towards the second bottom plate 15 of the second cover body 11 and the third cover body 12.

The cooperation of the first bending portion 19 and the second bending portion 20 with the second bottom plate 15 and the third bottom plate improves the sealing performance of the dust suction cover 5, ensures that the airflow can effectively circulate in the cover body, and enhances the dust suction effect.

[0036] There are multiple groups of tool holders 1, and the multiple groups of tool holders 1 are arranged at equal intervals along the length direction of the dust suction cover 5. The design of the multiple groups of tool holders 1 enables the device to simultaneously perform the slitting of multiple diaphragms, improving the production efficiency, enhancing the efficiency of the production line, and meeting the requirements of large-scale production.

[0037] The blowing assembly 3 is provided with air outlets 9 having the same number as the tool holders 1, and the multiple groups of air outlets 9 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the multiple groups of tool holders 1. Each tool holder 1 is equipped with an independent air outlet 9, ensuring that each tool can be effectively purged by the airflow, improving the cleanliness of each tool, and preventing dust from accumulating on any tool.

[0038] There are multiple groups of air outlets 7, and the multiple groups of air outlets 7 are arranged at equal intervals along the length direction of the dust suction cover 5.

[0044] In this embodiment, the tool is installed on the tool holder 1. During slitting, the diaphragm material moves, and the tool cuts the diaphragm material. During the slitting process, tiny dust is generated when the diaphragm material is cut. The external fan presses air into the air pipe through the air inlet 8, and the air flow forms a strong air flow near the tool through the air outlet 9. The air flow forms a certain wind pressure around the tool to prevent dust from accumulating on the tool surface and blows the dust into the accommodating cavity 4 of the dust suction hood 5, reducing the impact of dust on the tool and the slitting quality; the external exhaust fan generates negative pressure through the air outlet 7. The dust generated during the tool cutting process is blown into the dust suction hood 5 by the air flow of the air blowing assembly 3. Under the action of the negative pressure, the dust flows with the air and is sucked by the exhaust fan through the air outlet 7 and discharged to the dust collection device.
