[0002] Lithium-ion batteries have the advantages of high energy density, high operating voltage, light weight, small size, good safety and environmental protection. They have a wide range of application scenarios in portable weapons, power tools and electric transportation power supply. The battery cell electrode is a component of the lithium-ion battery. The size of the battery cell electrode in different lithium-ion batteries is different.

[0003] At present, the vast majority of companies in the lithium battery manufacturing industry use non-continuous automated operations in the film making and winding processes, that is, the film making machine and the winding machine are independent operating units. Affected by the design structure of the electrode, after the electrode is operated by the film making equipment, the single-sided electrode that is coated only on one side will show obvious bending. The bending of the electrode will have an adverse effect on a series of operations such as electrode picking, placement, and winding, affect the winding quality, increase the chance of core damage and dislocation, and thus increase the probability of battery safety hazards.

[0004] Most existing methods for shaping battery cell electrodes are done manually, where workers use tools to press the deformed parts to achieve the shaping effect. However, firstly, it is troublesome for workers to use the tools, and the steps are cumbersome, which reduces the efficiency of the shaping process. Secondly, workers cannot control the pressing force well when using the tools, making it difficult to ensure the quality of the battery cell electrodes after shaping. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] In order to more clearly illustrate the present invention, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that the following specific description is illustrative rather than restrictive and should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown. The embodiment of the present utility model provides a pressing and shaping device for processing lithium battery pole pieces, comprising a base frame 1, two vertical side frames 11 are arranged parallel to and spaced apart on the surface of the base frame 1, a flow platform 2 is arranged horizontally between the middle parts of the two side frames 11, and a rotatable lower roller 3 is also arranged between the two side frames 11. The lower roller 3 is located on the front side of the flow platform 2, and an upper roller 4 is arranged above the lower roller 3. The shaft end of the upper roller 4 is rotatably connected to a bearing seat 41, and the bearing seat 41 is installed in an auxiliary seat 5 in a manner that can slide up and down. The auxiliary seat 5 is fixed to the side frame 11, and a compression spring 51 is arranged between the top of the bearing seat 41 and the auxiliary seat 5. Under the action of the compression spring 51, the upper roller 4 is downwardly moved to contact the lower roller 3.

[0024] An upper mounting plate 6 and a lower mounting plate 7 are provided between the front portions of the two side frames 11, that is, the upper mounting plate and the lower mounting plate are also located in front of the lower rotating roller. A first mounting block 61 is fixed on the upper mounting plate 6, and a second mounting block 71 is fixed on the lower mounting plate 7. The first mounting block 61 and the second mounting block 71 are connected by two connecting guide shafts 62, and a pressure block 72 is movably sleeved on the connecting guide shaft 62. A spring member 63 is connected between the pressure block 72 and the first mounting block 61. Under the action of the spring member 63, the pressure block 72 moves downward to contact the second mounting block 71.

[0025] During use: the electrode can be smoothly transported through the flow platform 2, and the electrode passes between the upper roller 4 and the lower roller 3. Due to the action of the compression spring 51, the upper roller 4 can elastically press downward with the lower roller 3 to effectively flatten and shape the raised part of the electrode, playing a role of pre-flattening. Then the electrode passes between the first mounting block 61 and the second mounting block 71. Due to the action of the spring member 63, the first mounting block 61 can elastically press downward with the second mounting block 71 to shape the electrode. The device is simple to operate and has two shaping stations for pre-shaping and secondary shaping, which improves the shaping work efficiency. The shaping stability of the device is good, ensuring the quality of the battery cell electrode after shaping.

[0026] In this embodiment, a horizontal intermediate plate 8 is disposed between the lower rotating roller 3 and the lower mounting plate 7. A flattening plate 81 is also disposed between the two side frames 11, positioned above the intermediate plate 8. A gap is left between the bottom end surface of the flattening plate 81 and the surface of the intermediate plate 8. This design ensures that the electrode sheets are brought closer to a flat surface by the action of the intermediate plate and the flattening plate before flowing out of the surface of the flow platform and entering between the first and second mounting blocks. This prevents wrinkles in the electrode sheets during transfer and improves the effectiveness of subsequent secondary shaping.

[0027] In this embodiment, the auxiliary seat 5 is provided with a vertical slot 52, into which the bearing seat 41 is slidably mounted. A compression spring 51 is positioned between the top of the bearing seat 41 and the upper end of the inner wall of the slot 52. The compression spring 51 is always compressed. This design allows the bearing seat to move freely up and down within the slot. The compression of the compression spring exerts a constant downward pressure on the bearing seat, forcing the upper roller downward toward the lower roller, thereby flattening the pole piece between the upper and lower rollers.

[0028] Furthermore, a pry frame 9 is provided between the two auxiliary seats 5. The pry frame 9 includes a first rod 91 rotatably connected to the auxiliary seat 5 and a second rod 92 connecting the two first rods 91. The lower portion of the first rod 91 is located below the shaft of the upper roller 4. In this way, through the design of the pry frame, a person manually presses down the second rod to rotate the first rod, thereby causing the end of the first rod to tilt upward. During the process of the first rod tilting, it will push up the shaft end of the upper roller, realizing the separation of the upper roller and the lower roller, making it easier for the pole piece to pass between the upper roller and the lower roller.

[0029] In this embodiment, the surface of the flow platform 2 is provided with spaced apart limit plates 21 along its length. This design ensures that the electrode will not deviate left or right when being transported on the surface of the flow platform, thus ensuring the accuracy of the electrode position during the transport process.

[0030] In this embodiment, a feed roller 10 is rotatably provided between the two side frames 11 on one side of the flow platform 2. This facilitates the smooth transition of the electrode to the surface of the flow platform and avoids the problem of accidental scraping between the electrode and the outer side of the flow platform, which affects the quality of the electrode.

[0031] It should be noted that the upper roller surface of the feed roller 10, the surface of the flow platform 2, the upper roller surface of the lower rotating roller 3, and the surface of the second mounting block 71 are on the same horizontal plane. This ensures that the entire electrode can be on the same horizontal plane without any height difference during the shaping process.

[0032] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not limitations on the implementation methods of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in the relevant field, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is impossible to list all the implementation methods here. All obvious changes or modifications derived from the technical solution of the present invention are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
