Description

Technical Field

[0001] This article belongs to the technical field of electrode sheet arranging machines, and specifically relates to a high-efficiency electrode sheet arranging machine. Background Art

[0002] The optimal temperature range for lithium-ion batteries is +20°C to +30°C. At low temperatures, lithium-ion batteries will experience lithium deposition at the anode, resulting in a permanent reduction in capacity. At high temperatures, the active chemicals may undergo irreversible reactions, destroying the battery.

[0003] The main impacts: cycle life, driving range, and charging time. Therefore, a PTC assembly is currently required to heat lithium-ion batteries. The PTC assembly requires neatly arranged PTC chips, so the PTC chips need to be arranged in neat rows.

[0004] However, the size of PTC sheets is usually too small and the precision is extremely high, so a special sheet arrangement machine is needed to arrange the sheets on the electrode sheets in sequence. Before the PTC sheets are arranged, in order to facilitate the arrangement of the PTC sheets, the electrode sheets need to be distributed and positioned on the carrier table to facilitate the subsequent placement of the PTC sheets.

[0005] However, due to the high precision of the electrode sheet itself, manual placement is not allowed during the arrangement on the carrier to prevent damage to the electrode sheet caused by excessive manpower. If a simple gripper is used, not only will the efficiency be low, but also because the electrode sheet itself is too long, it is necessary to frequently replace the full carrier, which further reduces the efficiency. Utility Model Content

The surface of the carrier platform is provided with several electrode sheet positioning grooves in a horizontal array. The electrode sheet positioning grooves are parallel to the suction head bracket and the discharge bin. By setting two symmetrical groups of carrier platforms on the left and right sides, the assembly and discharge of electrode sheets of different lengths can be realized, thereby improving the production efficiency of discharge.

[0010] The discharge bin is an upper discharge bin of the top type, with a discharge port provided horizontally on the upper surface of the discharge bin, and a number of electrode sheets vertically stacked inside the discharge bin.
