Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lithium battery technology, and more specifically, to an auxiliary pusher for electrode rolling. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the new energy industry has developed rapidly, and the demand for cathode materials, one of the main materials for lithium batteries, has increased. This has led to a continuous increase in the testing volume and requirements for lithium battery cathode materials.

[0003] In lithium-ion battery manufacturing, the electrode rolling process plays a crucial role in battery energy storage and cycle life. Based on the fundamental principles of lithium-ion battery manufacturing, lithium-ion battery electrodes are made by coating active materials onto aluminum or copper foil as a substrate, followed by rolling, cutting, and other processes. The rolling step determines the electrode's conductivity properties, and its main purpose is to make the foil strip and surface active material structure more stable and compact. It also increases the manufacturing precision of the electrode, reduces the electrode spacing, and increases current density. Therefore, the surface requirements for the electrodes are relatively high. Scratches, bumps, and foreign matter are unacceptable; otherwise, the impact on data is uncontrollable.

[0004] The electrodes in the laboratory are relatively small (approximately 12*7 cm). When feeding them into the roller press, the electrodes are generally pushed in by hand or by folded paper.

[0005] One method involves gently pushing the electrode sheet into the roller press by holding the tail end with your hand. The electrode sheet is approximately twelve centimeters long. Maintain a safe distance while pushing it into the roller press. This method is the most convenient, allowing for pushing the electrode sheet with a very small contact area and minimizing the amount of foreign matter introduced. The disadvantage of this method is that it carries a higher safety risk and can only be used during the first roller press. During the second roller press, the electrode sheet will bend and coil due to the applied force, preventing it from entering the roller press as a flat surface.

[0006] The second method involves folding A4 paper into a sheet roughly the same size as the electrode. During use, simply cover the electrode with the paper and press it into the roller press. For the second roller press, simply flatten the curled edges of the electrode and press it down firmly with the paper. After a quick adjustment, it can be pushed into the roller press. The disadvantages of this method are: 1. The paper is opaque, making it impossible to check the surface condition of the electrode after covering it. Whether it is bent or has lost material cannot be determined until after roller pressing, but even then, it cannot be remedied. Furthermore, pushing the electrode with A4 paper requires friction to prevent slippage, which inevitably leads to the loss of surface-active material. Even worse, scratches can occur during friction, and dust and paper scraps can create bumps, rendering the produced electrode unusable and wasteful of resources.

[0007] Therefore, how to provide a safe and reliable electrode roller pressing auxiliary pusher has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content

[0034] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention.

[0035] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the invention or its application or use.

[0036] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, they should be considered part of the specification.

[0037] In all the examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0038] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be discussed further in subsequent figures.

[0039] Example 1:

[0040] See Figure 1 This embodiment discloses an auxiliary pusher for electrode rolling, including a handle 1 and a pressure plate 2. The handle 1 includes a gripping part 11 and a connecting part 12 disposed on one side of the gripping part 11; two pressure plates 2 are provided, which are respectively connected to both sides of the width of the connecting part 12 and extend away from the gripping part 11, forming an observation area 3 between the two pressure plates 2. The handle 1 is made of wood, and the pressure plate 2 is made of elastic materials such as soft PVC and soft acrylic.

[0041] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 The connecting portion 12 includes an upper connecting plate 121 and a lower connecting plate 122 that are opposite to and spaced apart, with a mounting groove 123 formed between the upper connecting plate 121 and the lower connecting plate 122. The connecting portion 12 has mounting holes communicating with the mounting groove 123. Specifically, the mounting holes include a first mounting hole 124 on the upper connecting plate 121 and a second mounting hole on the lower connecting plate 122, with the first mounting hole 124 and the second mounting hole being opposite to each other. The connecting portion 12 also includes a fastener that can be screwed into or out of the first mounting hole 124 and the second mounting hole.

[0042] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 5The two pressure plates 2 are strip-shaped pressure plates, and the thickness of the pressure plates 2 is equal to the thickness of the connecting part 12. One end of the pressure plate 2 is the mounting end, and the front and back sides of the mounting end are recessed inward to a preset depth to form a recess 21. A third mounting hole 211 is provided on the recess 21. The recess 21 is sandwiched between the upper connecting plate 121 and the lower connecting plate 122. Bolts or screws, which are fasteners, can be screwed into the first mounting hole 124, the third mounting hole 211 and the second mounting hole arranged in sequence to fix the pressure plate 2 on the connecting part 12. When the recess 21 is installed in the mounting groove 123, the surface of the pressure plate 2 is flush with the connecting part 12.

[0043] Both pressure plates 2 are movable, and multiple first mounting holes 124 and multiple second mounting holes are provided, with each first mounting hole 124 and multiple second mounting holes corresponding one-to-one. The two pressure plates 2 are arranged parallel to each other, and by installing the two pressure plates 2 at the positions of the two first mounting holes 124 with different spacing, the distance between the two pressure plates 2 can be adaptively adjusted. In some embodiments, after the two pressure plates 2 are fixed to the connecting part 12, the pressure plates 2 can also be rotated around the center of the first mounting hole 124 to change the relative position between the two pressure plates 2 and the distance between the free ends of the two pressure plates 2.

[0044] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first mounting hole 124 and the second mounting hole have another variation: the first mounting hole 124 and the second mounting hole are elongated holes. This allows the two pressure plates 2 to be fixed at any position in the elongated holes by bolts or screws, thereby achieving stepless adjustment of the distance between the two pressure plates 2.

[0045] Method for manufacturing an auxiliary pusher for electrode rolling:

[0046] First, cut two rectangles, each 100mm long and 10mm wide, from a 5mm thick soft PVC acrylic sheet. On both sides, shave off a 1mm thick groove from 10mm from the tail towards the tail. Drill an M4 screw hole in the center of each groove to create pressure plate 2. Next, make a T-shaped wooden handle as grip 1. Carve a hollow 85mm long, 10mm high, and 3mm thick groove in the center of the handle 1's horizontal axis. Drill several M4 screw holes at appropriate locations. Insert the drilled end of pressure plate 2 into the hollow groove and connect it to grip 1 using screws. The distance between the two pressure plates 2 can then be adjusted by changing the opening angle or position of the PVC sheet.

[0047] How to use the electrode roller pressing auxiliary pusher:

[0048] When using the device, first roughly estimate the width of the electrode sheet. Then, connect the PVC sheet (pressure plate 2) of the auxiliary device to the handle, ensuring the distance between the two pressure plates 2 is sufficient to press down on both sides of the electrode sheet. Next, use the two pressure plates 2 of the electrode sheet roller pressing auxiliary pusher to press down on the left and right sides of the electrode sheet, ensuring the pressed length does not exceed two-thirds of the electrode sheet. Lay the electrode sheet flat on the platform of the roller press and gently push it between the two rollers of the rotating roller press. After the rollers automatically wind up the electrode sheet, pull back the electrode sheet roller pressing auxiliary pusher. The electrode sheet roller pressing auxiliary pusher must not be pushed into the roller press. The maximum thickness of the PVC sheet is 1 cm; if it is too thick, it will be difficult to bend and cannot be fed in. Other smooth and cuttable materials can also replace the PVC sheet, but they must be able to connect to the handle.

[0049] Example 2:

[0050] Combination Figures 4 to 6 This embodiment discloses an auxiliary pusher for electrode rolling, including a handle 1 and a pressure plate 2. The handle 1 includes a gripping part 11 and a connecting part 12; the connecting part 12 includes an upper connecting plate 121 and a lower connecting plate 122 that are opposite to each other and spaced apart, and a mounting groove 123 is formed between the upper connecting plate 121 and the lower connecting plate 122; a first mounting hole 124 is provided on the upper connecting plate 121, and a second mounting hole is provided on the lower connecting plate 122, and the first mounting hole 124 and the second mounting hole are opposite to each other.

[0051] The pressure plate 2 includes a first pressure plate 22 and a second pressure plate 23. The first pressure plate 22 and the second pressure plate 23 are respectively connected to both sides of the width of the connecting part 12 and face away from the holding part 11. The first pressure plate 22 and the second pressure plate 23 are both strip-shaped pressure plates. An observation area 3 is formed between the first pressure plate 22 and the second pressure plate 23. The thickness of the first pressure plate 22 and the second pressure plate 23 is equal to the thickness of the connecting part 12. The first pressure plate 22 is integrally formed and fixedly connected to the connecting part 12. At the mounting end of the second pressure plate 23, its front and back sides are recessed inward to a preset depth to form a recess 21. A third mounting hole 211 is provided on the recess 21. The recess 21 is sandwiched between the upper connecting plate 121 and the lower connecting plate 122. Bolts or screws, as fasteners, pass through the first mounting hole 124, the third mounting hole 211 and the second mounting hole in sequence to fix the second pressure plate 23 to the connecting part 12.

[0052] In this embodiment, multiple first mounting holes 124 and multiple second mounting holes are provided, with each first mounting hole 124 and multiple second mounting holes corresponding to one another, to adjust the relative position between the second pressure plate 23 and the first pressure plate 22. Of course, in some embodiments, the first mounting holes 124 and the second mounting holes are elongated holes, which also serve to adjust the relative position between the second pressure plate 23 and the first pressure plate 22.

[0053] In summary, the electrode roller pressing auxiliary pusher provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0054] 1. There is no need to push the electrode sheets into the roller press by hand, reducing safety hazards.

[0055] 2. There is no need to wrap the electrode with paper, reducing wear on the electrode material. It also avoids introducing foreign matter such as paper scraps and dust.

[0056] 3. When the electrode sheet is rolled up multiple times, three sides can be flattened. The connecting part and the two pressure plates each press one side, preventing the electrode sheet from being folded or wrinkled during rolling and thus becoming unusable.

[0057] 4. It can be reused, which not only saves resources but also saves a lot of time;

[0058] 5. The width can be adjusted according to the size of the electrode, making it more widely applicable.

[0059] 6. It will not completely cover the electrode; the observation area in the center allows for constant monitoring of the electrode's condition and makes necessary adjustments.

[0060] Although specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail by way of examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the above examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
