Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of battery manufacturing equipment, in particular to a battery core diaphragm unwinding device. Background Art

[0002] The cell separator is a key component in lithium-ion batteries. Installed between the cathode and anode, it primarily prevents direct contact between the positive and negative electrodes, which could cause a short circuit, and promotes ion conduction in the electrolyte. During lithium-ion battery production, the separator coil must be unwound to ensure a smooth and continuous supply to the battery manufacturing equipment. In existing technologies, variations in the separator coil's diameter during unwinding can cause fluctuations in the separator's tension. Furthermore, deviations in the precision of the guide roller assembly and other components can affect the stability of the separator's tension. These variations in separator tension can affect separator quality: excessive separator tension stretches the membrane, enlarging its pores. Excessive separator tension can lead to deviation and wrinkling. Utility Model Content

[0006] In some embodiments, the swing drive member includes a cylinder and a connecting block, the cylinder is hinged to the back of the film substrate, and the output rod of the cylinder is hinged to the connecting block, and the connecting block is fixedly connected to the outlet end of the tension rotating shaft.

[0007] In some embodiments, the correction mechanism includes a ball screw pair, a first motor and a sliding shaft. The ball screw pair is horizontally arranged on the correction substrate.

[0020] It should be noted that the unwinding device monitors the position of the diaphragm in real time by setting up a sensing system. Once the position of the diaphragm is offset, the position of the film substrate 2 can be adjusted by the correction mechanism 3 to ensure that the diaphragm maintains an accurate position during the lamination production process; the pneumatic shaft 4 is used to place the diaphragm coil, and the diaphragm coil is unwound on the pneumatic shaft 4 and passes through the upper roller assembly 5, the diaphragm swing roller mechanism 6, the middle roller assembly 7 and the lower roller assembly 8 in sequence. The swing drive 9 is used to drive the tension rotating shaft 61 to rotate on the film substrate 2, thereby driving the swing seat 62 and the swing roller assembly 63 to swing. The swing of the swing roller assembly 63 can adjust the tension of the diaphragm, and the rotary encoder 10 detects the parameters such as the rotation angle, speed and direction of the tension rotating shaft 61, and transmits the data to the controller of the swing drive 9, so that the controller can accurately control the operating state of the swing drive 9, thereby accurately adjusting the tension of the diaphragm during unwinding through the diaphragm swing roller mechanism 6.

[0021] Furthermore, the swing driving member 9 includes a cylinder 91 and a connecting block 92. The cylinder 91 is hinged to the back of the film substrate 2, and the output rod of the cylinder 91 is hinged to the connecting block 92. The connecting block 92 is fixedly connected to the protruding end of the tension rotating shaft 61.

[0022] The correcting mechanism 3 includes a ball screw pair 31, a first motor 32 and a sliding shaft 33. The ball screw pair 31 is horizontally arranged on the correcting substrate 1. The output shaft of the first motor 32 is connected to the screw of the ball screw pair 31. The sliding shaft 33 is slidably arranged on the correcting substrate 1. Specifically, the sliding shaft 33 is slidably connected to the correcting substrate 1 through a linear bearing, and one end of the sliding shaft 33 is fixedly connected to the nut of the ball screw pair 31, and the other end is fixedly connected to the film placing substrate 2.

[0023] Furthermore, a linear guide rail 20 parallel to the ball screw pair 31 is mounted on the correction base plate 1. A sliding seat 30 is mounted on the slider of the linear guide rail 20, and the sliding seat 30 is fixedly connected to the film-laying base plate 2. The linear guide rail 20 ensures that the film-laying base plate 2 moves smoothly in the horizontal direction during correction.

[0024] Furthermore, one end of the inflatable shaft passes through the film-laying substrate 2 and is rotationally connected to the film-laying substrate 2. The outlet end of the inflatable shaft is connected to an unwinding drive, which includes a reducer 60, a second motor 70, and a synchronous belt transmission assembly 80. The reducer 60 is mounted on the back of the film-laying substrate 2. The output shaft of the second motor 70 is transmission-connected to the reducer 60. The synchronous belt transmission assembly 80 includes a first synchronous wheel, a second synchronous wheel 801, and a synchronous belt 802. The first synchronous wheel is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the reducer 60, and the second synchronous wheel 801 is coaxially connected to the outlet end of the inflatable shaft. The first synchronous wheel and the second synchronous wheel 801 are transmission-connected via the synchronous belt 802. The diaphragm coil is put on the inflatable shaft. After high-pressure inflation, the surface of the inflatable shaft can protrude, thereby pressing the diaphragm coil against the shaft body. After deflation, the surface quickly retracts; the unwinding drive is used to drive the inflatable shaft to rotate, thereby unwinding the diaphragm coil on the inflatable shaft.

[0025] Optionally, an ion wind rod 40 is further provided on the film placing substrate 2 next to the upper roller assembly 5. On the lithium-ion battery production line, static electricity may absorb dust and impurities, affecting the manufacturing quality of the battery. The ion wind rod 40 generates a large number of positive and negative ions. These ions combine with the charges in the air to eliminate static electricity and improve the cleanliness of the production environment; a film guide plate 21 is provided at the lower part of the film placing substrate 2, and the middle roller assembly 7 and the lower roller assembly 8 are arranged on the film guide plate 21. A deionization air duct 50 is provided on the film guide plate 21 next to the lower roller assembly 8. The deionization air duct 50 provides pure air to blow to the diaphragm through filtration and deionization treatment to clean the dust and impurities on the diaphragm.

[0026] When the battery cell diaphragm unwinding device is working, the air shaft is driven to rotate by the unwinding drive to unwind the diaphragm roll, and the diaphragm passes through the upper roller assembly 5, the diaphragm swing roller mechanism 6, the middle roller assembly 7 and the lower roller assembly 8 in sequence. During the movement and supply of the diaphragm, the tension of the diaphragm can be detected by setting a tension sensor on the unwinding device. According to the tension, the diaphragm swing roller mechanism 6 is driven by the swinging drive 9 to swing to adjust the tension of the diaphragm. The rotary encoder 10 detects parameters such as the rotation angle, speed and direction of the tension rotating shaft 61, and the working state of the swinging drive 9 is controlled by the controller to adjust the specific swinging angle of the swing seat 62 and the swing roller assembly 63, thereby accurately adjusting the tension of the diaphragm.

[0027] It should be understood that all the above embodiments are illustrative rather than restrictive. Any modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made by those skilled in the art to the specific embodiments described above under the concept of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
