A bearing platform 2 is installed on the top of the base 1. The bearing platform 2 provides a stable platform for the lithium battery trimming operation. At the same time, various components on the bearing platform, such as the electric slide 3 and the support frame 6, work together to complete the trimming work. The electric slide 3 is installed on the front side of the bearing platform 2. The electric slide 3 is responsible for driving the two-way drive slide 4 to move back and forth, so that the mold 5 can accurately The two sides of the two-way drive slide 4 are slidably provided with molds 5, and the molds 5 are used to fix the lithium battery and ensure that they remain stable during the trimming process. The opposite surfaces of the molds 5 on both sides are provided with embedded grooves, and the middle part of the molds 5 is provided with a notch. A support frame 6 is provided in the center of the upper part of the carrier platform 2 to support the lower pressure frame 8, the electric cylinder 7 and other components to ensure that the cutter 10 can be pressed down vertically and the edge of the lithium battery can be accurately cut. The electric cylinder 7 is installed on the top of the support frame 6. 6 is provided with a lower pressure frame 8 for sliding on the upper part, and the cutter 10 is driven by the electric cylinder 7 to move downward to complete the cutting action. The support rod of the lower pressure frame 8 passes through the upper part of the support frame 6, and the driving end of the electric cylinder 7 passes through the support frame 6 and is connected to the lower pressure frame 8. A number of springs 9 are provided between the top of the support frame 6 and the lower part of the lower pressure frame 8. The springs 9 between the lower pressure frame 8 and the support frame 6 can provide a certain buffering effect to prevent the cutter 10 from damaging the lithium battery or itself due to excessive impact force. The cutter 10 is slidably provided on both sides of the bottom of the lower pressure frame 8. By adjusting the bidirectional screw 11, it can be accurately positioned to the edge of the lithium battery to perform the cutting task. A bidirectional screw 11 is provided between the two inner walls of the support frame 6 and rotated to allow manual adjustment of the cutting force. The position of the knife 10 is to adapt to different types of lithium batteries to ensure the accuracy of trimming. Adjustment disks are provided on the through-holes at both ends of the bidirectional screw 11. The cutters 10 on both sides are threadedly connected to the bidirectional screw 11.

Waste edge collection groups for collecting waste edges are provided on both sides of the middle part of the supporting platform 2 to promptly remove waste generated during trimming, keep the working environment clean, and reduce pollution.

[0028] like Figure 1-Figure 2 and Figure 6-Figure 7 As shown, the waste edge collection group includes a suction hopper 14, a vacuum cleaner 15 and a waste basket 16. Suction hoppers 14 are provided on both outer sides of the middle part of the supporting platform 2. The suction end of the suction hopper 14 extends to the inner middle part of the supporting platform 2. A vacuum cleaner 15 is installed on the upper part of the suction hopper 14. A waste basket 16 is pull-out provided at the lower part of the suction hopper 14, and a handle is provided on the outside of the waste basket 16; the electric slide rail 3 drives the bidirectional drive slide rail 4 to slide, so that when the mold 5 moves to the bottom of the lower pressing frame 8, the notch of the mold 5 is facing the front of the moving conveyor 13, and the upper ends of the two molds 5 are in contact with the two ends of the suction hopper 14.

[0029] like Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a suction cup 51 and an air pump 52. The suction cup 51 is arranged in the mold 5, and the suction end of the suction cup 51 is connected to the embedded groove of the mold 5. The air pump 52 is arranged on the delivery pipe of the suction cup 51, and the air pump 52 is located outside the mold 5; the suction cup 51 and the air pump 52 use the negative pressure principle to fix the lithium battery, ensuring that the lithium battery will not be displaced during the trimming process, thereby improving the processing accuracy.

[0030] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, an optical detector 17 is also included. The optical detector 17 is set at the rear of the support frame 6, and the detection end of the optical detector 17 is directly above the middle of the conveyor 13; the optical detector 17 performs quality inspection on the lithium batteries that have completed trimming, detects unqualified products in time, and ensures product quality.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 6-Figure 7 As shown, it also includes an electric cylinder 218, a pushing roller 19 and a stacking platform 20. The electric cylinders 218 are staggered on both sides of the rear of the supporting platform 2. The driving ends of the electric cylinders 18 on both sides are provided with pushing rollers 19. The pushing rollers 19 are in sliding contact with the conveyor belt end surface of the conveyor 13. Stacking platforms 20 are provided on both sides of the rear of the supporting platform 2. The stacking platforms 20 on both sides are respectively located on both sides of the conveyor 13, and the ends of the two stacking platforms 20 close to the conveyor 13 are inclined. The combination of the electric cylinder 218, the pushing rollers 19 and the stacking platform 20 pushes qualified lithium batteries from the conveyor 13 into the stacking platform 20. The design of the stacking platform 20 helps to stack the lithium batteries in an orderly manner and facilitates subsequent processing.

[0032] like Figure 1-Figure 2 and Figure 7As shown, a controller 21 is also included. The controller 21 is provided on the front side of the supporting platform 2. The controller 21 is electrically connected to the electric slide 3, the two-way drive slide 4, the suction cup 51, the air pump 52, the electric cylinder 1 7, the electric cylinder 2 18 and the conveyor 13. The controller 21 serves as the control center of the entire system, coordinating the work of various components, realizing automated operation, and improving production efficiency.

[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, a ruler 22 is also included. Both ends of the lower part of the lower pressing frame 8 are provided with a ruler 22 for visual adjustment of the value. The ruler 22 assists the operator to accurately adjust the position of the cutter 10 to ensure the accuracy of cutting.

[0034] First, the controller 21 issues a command to drive the bidirectional drive slide 4 to move the two molds 5 closer together, so that the grooves of the two are close and aggregated, and then the untrimmed lithium battery is placed in the grooves where the two molds 5 meet. At this time, the air pump 52 is started, and the suction cup 51 absorbs the lithium battery through the groove. The electric slide 3 is started, driving the bidirectional drive slide 4 to move forward. The bidirectional drive slide 4 moves to the designated position. At this time, the uncut grooves of the two molds 5 are facing the front of the conveyor 13. Under the action of the suction cup 51, the lithium battery will not move during the trimming process. Before trimming, the bidirectional screw 11 can be adjusted as needed, and the position of the cutter 10 can be changed by the adjustment disk to align it with the trimming position of the lithium battery. With the visual ruler 22, the position of the cutter 10 can be accurately adjusted to ensure that the cutter 10 is accurately aligned with the edge of the lithium battery. Then the electric cylinder 7 drives the lower pressing frame 8 to move downward, and the lower pressing frame 8 drives the cutter 10 to move downward. The cutter 10 contacts the edge of the lithium battery and starts the cutting operation. The spring 9 provided between the lower pressing frame 8 and the support frame 6 plays a buffering role, ensuring that the cutter 10 is stable during the downward pressing process and cutting. The knife 10 cuts the edge of the lithium battery to remove excess material, the vacuum cleaner 15 is started, and the cut waste will fall into the suction hopper 14 and finally into the waste basket 16. After the cutting is completed, the electric cylinder 7 drives the lower pressing frame 8 and the cutter 10 to reset, the controller 21 sends a command again, the conveyor 13 is started, and then the bidirectional drive slide 4 is driven to move the two molds 5 away from each other. The cut lithium battery finally falls on the conveyor belt of the conveyor 13. When it is transported to the rear, the detection end of the optical detector 17 detects the cutting quality of the lithium battery. The results are fed back through the controller 21. If there are unqualified products, the controller 21 will sound an alarm to prompt the operator to deal with them. Qualified lithium battery products will be pushed into the stacking table 20 from the conveyor 13 by the electric cylinder 2 18 driving the pushing roller 19. During the process of the lithium batteries being pushed into the stacking table 20, the inclined design inside the stacking table 20 can ensure that the lithium batteries are stacked in an orderly manner. After completing the trimming operation, the electric slide rail 3 drives the bidirectional drive slide rail 4 to return to the initial position to prepare for the next operation, and regularly clean the waste basket 16 to ensure the normal operation of the waste collection group.

[0035] Although the present disclosure has been shown and described with reference to certain exemplary embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made to the present disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents. Therefore, the scope of the present disclosure should not be limited to the above-described embodiments, but should be determined not only by the appended claims but also by the equivalents of the appended claims.
