Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery bare core winding technology, and in particular to a battery winding machine with an automatic feeding mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Battery cells are produced by precisely bonding the positive electrode, negative electrode, and separator together in parallel and then winding them into a roll. Based on the shape of the wound battery core, they can be divided into square cells and round cells.
[0003] During the winding process of bare battery cells, the degree of overlap between the positive electrode sheet, negative electrode sheet, and separator directly affects the production quality and yield of the bare battery cells. Therefore, the key to ensuring that the positive electrode sheet, negative electrode sheet, and separator have the required degree of overlap is to effectively prevent them from deviating when feeding them during the winding process.
[0004] Chinese invention patent application CN202110042975.0 describes a lithium battery winding machine. It uses a threaded straightening wheel to push the separator, positive electrode, and negative electrode to the outside during contact with the separator and positive electrode sheet, ultimately bringing them into contact with a straightening baffle. This aligns the edges of the separator, negative electrode, and positive electrode sheet with the straightening baffle, achieving the desired straightening result. This ensures edge alignment of the wound battery, resulting in a good winding effect and improved production quality. However, in this device, when the straightening wheel pushes the negative electrode sheet, separator, and positive electrode sheet towards the straightening baffle, their movement direction is perpendicular to their travel direction. This causes them to be subjected to shearing forces, making them prone to damage and severely reducing the yield of the winding process. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a battery winding machine with an automatic feeding mechanism to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that when the negative electrode sheet, separator and positive electrode sheet are corrected, the three parts are subjected to shear force and are easily damaged, which seriously reduces the yield of the winding process.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a battery winding machine with an automatic feeding mechanism, comprising a worktable, a fixed plate fixedly connected to the top of the worktable, a winding head mounted on the top of the worktable, three conveyor plates fixedly connected to the front of the fixed plate, three sets of drive rollers rotatably connected to the front of the fixed plate, each set containing two drive rollers, the three sets of drive rollers being located on the top of the three conveyor plates respectively, three sets of ultrasonic sensors fixedly connected to the front of the fixed plate, the three sets of ultrasonic sensors being aligned with the top of the three conveyor plates respectively, and three correction components disposed on the front of the fixed plate, the three correction components being located on the three conveyor plates respectively, each correction component including a first correction roller and a second correction roller, the correction component also including a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the front of the fixed plate, the first correction roller being fixedly sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the rotating shaft, the second correction roller being rotatably sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the rotating shaft, the rear end of the rotating shaft passing through the fixed plate and connected to a first motor, the first correction roller and the second correction roller rotating at different speeds.
[0007] Preferably, the correction assembly further includes a drive unit for driving the second correction roller to rotate. The advantage of this configuration is that the correction function can be turned on or off by controlling whether the second correction roller rotates.
[0008] Preferably, the drive unit includes a rotating tube rotatably sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the rotating shaft. A first drive wheel is fixedly sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the rotating tube. The drive unit also includes a second motor disposed on the front side of the fixed plate. A first round rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor. A second drive wheel is fixedly sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the first round rod. The outer circumferential surface of the second drive wheel abuts against the outer circumferential surface of the first drive wheel. The diameters of the first drive wheel and the second drive wheel are different. The advantage of this arrangement is that the second drive wheel is driven to rotate by the second motor and the first round rod. The second drive wheel drives the second correction roller to rotate through the first drive wheel and the rotating tube. At the same time, the first correction roller and the second correction roller can rotate coaxially at different speeds. This allows for convenient and reliable correction of the moving negative electrode sheet, separator, and positive electrode sheet. Compared with directly pushing the negative electrode sheet, separator, and positive electrode sheet laterally for correction, the correction method of this device causes less damage to the negative electrode sheet, separator, and positive electrode sheet, thereby effectively reducing the scrap rate of the winding process and greatly improving the reliability of the device.
[0009] Preferably, the drive unit further includes two hydraulic cylinders fixedly connected to the front of the fixed plate. A horizontal plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the two hydraulic cylinders, and a vertical plate is fixedly connected to the front end of the horizontal plate. A third motor is fixedly connected to the back of the vertical plate. The output shaft of the third motor passes through the vertical plate and is fixedly connected to a turntable. There are multiple second motors, first round rods, and second drive wheels. Multiple second motors are fixedly connected in a ring to the back of the turntable. The output shafts of multiple second motors pass through the turntable and are fixedly connected to the first round rods. The multiple second drive wheels have different diameters. The advantage of this arrangement is that the rotation speed of the second correction roller can be changed, thereby adjusting the correction speed according to the degree of offset of the negative electrode sheet, diaphragm, and positive electrode sheet, and thus improving the efficiency of the correction operation while ensuring the accuracy of the correction operation.
[0010] Preferably, a portion of the second drive wheels has a diameter smaller than that of the first drive wheel, while another portion has a diameter larger than that of the first drive wheel. The advantage of this arrangement is that the forward or backward correction of the negative electrode sheet, diaphragm, and positive electrode sheet can be achieved by controlling the rotation speed of the second correction roller to be greater than or less than that of the first correction roller, thereby further improving the efficiency of the correction operation.
[0011] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] 1. In this utility model, by setting the first and second correction rollers to rotate coaxially and with different speeds, it is possible to correct the negative electrode sheet, diaphragm and positive electrode sheet forward or backward, and reduce the lateral shear force on the negative electrode sheet, diaphragm and positive electrode sheet during the correction operation, reduce the damage to the negative electrode sheet, diaphragm and positive electrode sheet during the correction process, and improve the yield of the winding process of the device.
[0013] 2. In this utility model, a turntable drives multiple second drive wheels to rotate so that second drive wheels of different diameters can respectively contact the first drive wheel so that the first drive wheel has different rotation speeds. This allows for flexible adjustment of the rotation speed of the second correction roller, thereby adjusting the correction speed according to the degree of offset of the negative electrode sheet, diaphragm and positive electrode sheet, and thus improving the efficiency of the correction operation while ensuring the accuracy of the correction operation.
