Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lithium battery production technology, and in particular to an adjustable waste outlet structure. Background Technology

[0002] Prior to 22 years ago, the battery cell tabs produced in the industry were generally small, and the tab forming process typically involved edged material, meaning the waste was continuous. This tab processing technology had lower requirements for the design of the waste collection channel. Previously, the waste inlet was a funnel-shaped, half-width, compatible structure, and waste could generally be collected as long as it fell into the inlet. However, with continuous process improvements and cost optimization, the size of battery cell tabs in the industry has gradually increased, and the tab forming process has gradually shifted towards edgeless material, with waste appearing as independent sheets. This has brought challenges to the structural design of the waste collection channel. On the one hand, the increased tab size means a larger area and mass of individual waste sheets, most directly manifesting as pipe blockage. Even a slightly larger tab spacing can easily cause waste to accumulate near the sloping surface of the funnel-shaped pipe opening. On the other hand, with edgeless material tab forming, even a slightly smaller tab spacing can easily lead to waste flying around haphazardly, making waste collection impossible.
