Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0030] In the manufacturing process of lithium-ion batteries, the density and thickness uniformity of the composite sheet are crucial to battery performance. To improve the density and thickness consistency of the composite sheet surface material, thereby increasing the battery's energy density and performance, the positive and negative electrode sheets and the separator need to undergo composite rolling during cell manufacturing.

[0031] During the rolling process, the rolling rollers may wear down due to friction or accumulate dust and particulate matter. These factors can reduce the rolling quality, affect the surface quality and thickness uniformity of the electrode sheets, and may also affect the straightness, roll jump, rigidity and other properties of the rolling rollers due to accumulated dust or other particulate matter. After long-term operation, electrode sheet material and separator material are prone to adhere to the surface of the rolling rollers, leading to problems such as separator puncture, poor thickness consistency of composite sheets, and narrow rolling width, which can cause short circuits in the cells and consequently reduce the cell qualification rate.

[0032] However, the current common cleaning method involves manual wiping with lint-free cloths, which requires stopping the machine for wiping, is labor-intensive, and time-consuming, resulting in extremely low cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, the wiping station in the lithium battery rolling process is mostly operated manually, which is not only complex and costly, but also prone to causing injury to operators during movement, disassembly, and cleaning. Under prolonged working conditions, the accumulation of particles and impurities on the surface of the rolling rollers significantly affects product quality.

[0033] Based on the above issues, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a positive and negative electrode sheet and separator rolling device 1, which is applied to the field of lithium battery manufacturing technology.

[0034] In this embodiment, the positive and negative electrode sheet and separator rolling device 1 includes a rolling roller 11 and a rolling roller cleaning device 10. The rolling roller 11 is used to perform composite rolling of the positive and negative electrode sheets and the separator to increase the density of the composite sheet, thereby improving the energy density and performance of the battery. The rolling roller cleaning device 10 can clean the rolling roller 11 to solve the battery electrode manufacturing quality problem caused by dust particle contamination of the rolling roller 11. It can not only automatically clean the rolling roller 11 and reduce manual intervention, but also effectively improve the cleaning efficiency and effectively remove impurities on the electrode rolling roller 11 to ensure the rolling quality and efficiency of the electrode sheets.

[0035] In detail, the pressure roller cleaning device 10 includes a fixing member 100 and a scraper 200.

[0036] The scraper 200 is detachably mounted on the fixing member 100. The scraper 200 has a concave arc-shaped blade surface 210. The entire concave surface of the arc-shaped blade surface 210 simultaneously adheres to the rolling roller 11 to scrape the rolling roller 11.

[0037] In this embodiment, the scraper 200 is detachably mounted on the fixing member 100, which facilitates inspection, maintenance, or replacement of the scraper 200. Furthermore, by providing a concave arc-shaped blade surface 210 on the scraper 200, the upper and lower ends of the arc-shaped blade surface 210 can simultaneously scrape the roller 11, thereby improving cleaning quality and efficiency. Therefore, the roller cleaning device 10 provided by this utility model has a high degree of automation, effectively scraping and cleaning the roller 11 with the scraper 200 to thoroughly clean dust and other particulate impurities from the roller 11, while preventing damage to the roller 11.

[0038] Optionally, the scraper 200 is made of polyurethane (polyurethane). Of course, it is not limited to this; the scraper 200 can also be a rigid mechanism made of other materials. The material of the scraper 200 is not specifically limited here. A flexible layer is provided on the surface of the scraper. The flexible layer is made of a flexible material, such as sponge, lint-free cloth, etc.

[0039] In this embodiment, because polyurethane has good stability, chemical resistance, resilience and mechanical properties, it not only enables the scraper 200 to stably scrape the roller 11 and achieve a good cleaning effect, but also ensures that there is a suitable contact pressure with the roller 11, avoiding rigid contact between the scraper 200 and the roller 11 and damage to the roller 11.

[0040] During the actual operation of the pressure roller cleaning device, the roller 11 is first scraped by the arc-shaped blade 210 of the scraper 200 to clean dust and other particulate impurities on the roller 11. Then, the part of the arc-shaped blade 210 with the flexible layer is aligned with the roller 11 to sweep away the particulate impurities remaining on the roller 11, thereby ensuring that the roller 11 is thoroughly cleaned. In addition, the flexible layer is made of flexible material to avoid damaging the roller 11.

[0041] It is understood that the flexible layer can be fixed to the arc-shaped blade surface 210 by bonding or other means; the flexible layer can also be detachably set on the arc-shaped blade surface 210, so that after the arc-shaped blade surface 210 scrapes the rolling roller 11, the flexible layer can be set on the arc-shaped blade surface 210 to clean the rolling roller 11 through the flexible layer.

[0042] It should be noted that the curvature of the arc-shaped blade 210 is the same as that of the rolling roller 11.

[0043] Furthermore, the scraper 200 is provided with a liquid injection structure 220, which is used to inject cleaning agent and to deliver the cleaning agent to the arc-shaped blade surface 210 so that the cleaning agent wets the flexible layer to facilitate cleaning the roller 11.

[0044] In this embodiment, a cleaning agent can be injected into the interior of the scraper 200 through the injection structure 220. The cleaning agent can be a reagent with cleaning effect such as alcohol. The surface of the arc-shaped blade 210 is provided with grooves. After the cleaning agent flows in through the injection structure 220 of the scraper 200, it fully wets the flexible layer on the surface of the arc-shaped blade 210, thereby achieving a better cleaning effect on the roller.

[0045] Furthermore, the pressure roller cleaning device 10 also includes a limiting member 300. The scraper 200 is detachably connected to the fixing member 100 by fasteners. The limiting member 300 is disposed on the fixing member 100 and is used to limit the scraper 200.

[0046] In this embodiment, a limiting member 300 is provided on the fixing member 100 to limit the scraper 200 in the event of loose fasteners, preventing the scraper 200 from falling off the fixing member 100 and causing damage to the scraper 200, the pressing roller 11, and the composite sheet. The scraper 200 is detachably connected to the fixing member 100 by fasteners, facilitating quick disassembly of the scraper 200. The scraper 200 can be disassembled simply by loosening or removing the fasteners from the fixing member 100. Similarly, when installing the scraper 200, it is only necessary to lock it onto the fixing member 100 using the fasteners, making assembly and disassembly convenient and quick.

[0047] It should be noted that the limiting member 300 is also used to hold the flexible layer, thereby ensuring that the flexible layer is firmly set on the curved blade surface.

[0048] Furthermore, the pressure roller cleaning device 10 also includes a mounting component 400, and the fixing component 100 is detachably connected to the mounting component 400 by fasteners, thereby facilitating the assembly or disassembly of the mounting component 400.

[0049] Optionally, the fasteners can be bolts, screws, or other components, as long as they enable detachable connection between the scraper 200 and the fixing member 100, and between the fixing member 100 and the mounting member 400. No specific limitations are imposed here.

[0050] Furthermore, the pressure roller cleaning device 10 also includes a first driving member 510 and a guide rail 520. The mounting member 400 is slidably disposed on the guide rail 520. The first driving member 510 is connected to the mounting member 400 and is used to drive the mounting member 400 to move along the guide rail 520, so as to drive the scraper 200 to move along the axial direction of the pressure roller 11.

[0051] In this embodiment, mounting holes (not shown) are provided on the upper and lower sides of the mounting member 400. There are two guide rails 520. The upper and lower mounting holes of the mounting member 400 are slidably engaged with the two guide rails 520 respectively. Thus, the mounting member 400 is driven to move along the extension direction of the guide rails 520 by the first driving member 510. Since the extension direction of the guide rails 520 is set parallel to the axial direction of the roller 11 in actual application, the first driving member 510 can drive the mounting member 400 to move along the axial direction of the roller 11 and can reciprocate along this direction, thereby driving the scraper 200 to reciprocate along the axial direction on the surface of the roller 11, thereby achieving comprehensive cleaning of the roller 11.

[0052] Furthermore, the pressure roller cleaning device 10 also includes a second drive member 600, which is connected to the mounting member 400 and is used to drive the mounting member 400 to move so as to move the scraper 200 closer to or away from the pressure roller 11.

[0053] In this embodiment, the second driving member 600 drives the mounting member 400 to move, which in turn drives the fixing member 100 and the scraper 200 to move. This causes the scraper 200 to move closer to or further away from the roller 11. When the roller 11 stops working or the scraper 200 needs to be replaced, the second driving member 600 drives the scraper 200 away from the roller 11, achieving a retraction action. When the roller 11 needs to be cleaned, the second driving member 600 drives the scraper 200 closer to the roller 11 to scrape the surface of the roller 11. The driving force of the second driving member 600 can also be controlled according to the surface contamination of the roller 11, thereby controlling the contact force between the scraper 200 and the surface of the roller 11, thus achieving a good cleaning effect.

[0054] It is understood that the output end of the second drive unit 600 can be connected to the mounting part 400 or the first drive unit 510, as long as the second drive unit 600 drives the scraper 200 to move in the direction close to or away from the rolling roller 11, no specific limitation is made here.

[0055] Optionally, both the first driving member 510 and the second driving member 600 can be cylinders. Of course, in other embodiments, they can also be other driving devices, as long as they can achieve the above-mentioned driving action. No specific limitation is made here.

[0056] Furthermore, the pressure roller cleaning device 10 also includes a magnetic element 700, which is disposed on the mounting member 400 and is used to magnetically attract and fix the member 100.

[0057] In this embodiment, by providing a magnetic element 700 at the bottom of the mounting element 400 to magnetically attract the fixing element 100, the stability of the fixing element 100 installed on the mounting element 400 is further improved.

[0058] Furthermore, the pressure roller cleaning device 10 also includes a knob 800, which is located on the top of the mounting member 400.

[0059] In this embodiment, a knob 800 is provided on the top of the mounting member 400 to facilitate user gripping. When it is necessary to disassemble the scraper 200, the user can hold the knob 800 with one hand and loosen the fasteners on the fixing member 100 with the other hand to remove the scraper 200 from the fixing member 100, thus facilitating the replacement of the scraper 200.

[0060] Furthermore, the pressure roller cleaning device 10 also includes a dust suction component 900, which is disposed on the lower side of the scraper 200 and is used to connect to a negative pressure pipe to absorb dust.

[0061] In this embodiment, a dust-collecting component 900 is provided to absorb the dust particles scraped off by the scraper 200, thereby avoiding pollution to the device and the environment and achieving a good cleaning effect.

[0062] It is worth mentioning that the dust collection component 900 is provided with multiple openings 910, and the openings 910 are spaced apart from the rolling roller 11. The cross-section of the openings 910 is concave arc-shaped. Through the negative pressure pipe, the openings 910 can achieve a certain negative pressure wind speed, thereby eliminating dust particles.

[0063] In summary, this utility model provides a pressure roller cleaning device 10 and a positive and negative electrode sheet and diaphragm rolling device 1. By detachably mounting the scraper 200 to the fixing member 100, it is convenient to inspect, maintain, or replace the scraper 200. By setting the scraper 200 with a concave arc-shaped blade surface 210, the rolling roller 11 can be scraped simultaneously through the arc-shaped blade surface 210, thereby improving the cleaning quality and efficiency. The first driving member 510 and the second driving member 600 can adjust the scraping range and scraping force of the scraper 200. The dust collection member 900 collects the scraped dust particles, avoiding dust generation and reducing the pollution of equipment and environment caused by dust particles. It can be seen that the pressure roller cleaning device 10 provided by this utility model has a high degree of automation. It can effectively scrape and clean the rolling roller 11 through the scraper 200 to thoroughly clean the dust and other particulate impurities on the rolling roller 11 and avoid damage to the rolling roller 11.

[0064] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
