Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery manufacturing technology, and more specifically, to an anti-drumping device for a lithium battery electrode coating machine. Background Technology
[0002] Lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in numerous mobile devices in defense, industry, and civilian sectors due to their advantages such as high energy density, small size, long lifespan, and low self-discharge. In recent years, with the development of the manufacturing industry, the lithium-ion production process has gradually become more streamlined and automated. Among these processes, the coating of lithium battery electrodes mostly uses extrusion coating heads.
[0003] The lithium battery electrode coating device with an extrusion coating head is the next step after the preparation of the slurry. The main purpose of this step is to uniformly coat the positive and negative current collectors with a slurry that has good stability, good viscosity and good fluidity. Electrode coating is of great significance to the capacity, consistency and safety of lithium batteries.
[0004] However, during the use of lithium battery electrode coating equipment, the aluminum foil in the conveying state often has local depressions or wrinkles, which affects the uniformity and fullness of coating. At the same time, the positive electrode paste on the coated aluminum foil is unevenly distributed, and due to the influence of the aluminum foil's own tilt, the aluminum foil is prone to bulging on both sides. This greatly affects the quality and efficiency of lithium battery electrode coating, and also affects the quality of the lithium battery electrode after coating and its winding as raw material. Utility Model Content

This anti-bulging device is highly versatile and practical, and can effectively prevent the phenomenon of bulging on both sides during the lithium battery electrode coating process, thereby improving the quality and efficiency of lithium battery electrode coating and improving the quality of the lithium battery electrode after coating and its winding as raw material.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: an anti-drumping device for a lithium battery electrode coating machine, characterized in that: it includes a frame and at least one rotating roller mechanism for contacting the protruding edge portion of the lithium battery electrode; each of the rotating roller mechanisms is rotatably mounted on the frame; each rotating roller mechanism includes a support arm, a connecting rod, and a rotating roller module; the connecting rod is connected to the rotating roller module; one end of the support arm is adjustablely connected to the connecting rod, and the other end is rotatably and movablely connected to the frame, so that the distance between the rotating roller module and the protruding edge portion of the lithium battery electrode is adjustable.
[0007] In the above solution, the rotating roller module of this invention can be rotated via a support arm, allowing it to contact and flatten the protruding edges of lithium battery electrode sheets at different heights. Furthermore, the rotating roller module can be adjusted by moving the support arm to align with the protruding edges of the lithium battery electrode sheets. Additionally, one end of the support arm is adjustable to a connecting rod, allowing for adjustment of the roller module's installation height according to actual needs. This makes the distance between the roller module and the protruding edges of the lithium battery electrode sheets adjustable, thereby improving the versatility and practicality of the anti-bulging device. During operation, this invention can contact and flatten the protruding edges of the lithium battery electrode sheets using the gravity of the rotating roller module, effectively preventing bulging on both sides during the lithium battery electrode sheet coating process. This improves the quality and efficiency of lithium battery electrode sheet coating, and enhances the quality of the coated lithium battery electrode sheets as raw materials when wound up.
[0008] The adjustable connection between one end of the support arm and the connecting rod means that the anti-bulging device also includes fasteners; the support arm has an adjustment hole one, and the connecting rod has an adjustment hole two. After the position of the connecting rod and the support arm is adjusted, the adjustment hole two and the adjustment hole one are connected by fasteners to realize the adjustable connection between the support arm and the connecting rod.

[0010] The roller module includes a roller assembly, a frustum, and an adjustment assembly; the frustum is located at the bottom of the connecting rod; the adjustment assembly is connected to the roller assembly and is rotatably connected to the frustum.
[0011] The roller module also includes a connecting block; the adjusting component includes an adjusting block and an adjusting bolt; the adjusting block is rotatably connected to the frustum and connected to the roller assembly; the connecting block is connected to a connecting rod, and the adjusting bolt passes through the connecting block and abuts against the adjusting block; during operation, rotating the adjusting bolt pushes the adjusting block, causing the adjusting block to rotate along the frustum, thereby making the rotation angle of the roller assembly connected to the adjusting block adjustable.
[0012] Two adjusting bolts are provided, each passing through the connecting block and abutting against it. During operation, rotating one adjusting bolt pushes the adjusting block, causing it to rotate clockwise around the frustum, thus adjusting the clockwise rotation angle of the roller assembly connected to the adjusting block. Alternatively, rotating the other adjusting bolt pushes the adjusting block, causing it to rotate counterclockwise around the frustum, thus adjusting the counterclockwise rotation angle of the roller assembly connected to the adjusting block.
[0013] The roller assembly includes a roller and a roller frame; the roller frame is connected to an adjustment assembly, and the roller is mounted on the roller frame.
[0014] The frame is equipped with reinforcing ribs. This design improves the structural strength of the anti-bulging edge device.
[0015] The frame is equipped with casters with brakes at the bottom. This design facilitates the movement of the anti-bulging edge device.
[0016] The rotating roller module contacts the protruding edge of the lithium battery electrode, which is located between the take-up roller and the conveyor roller of the lithium battery electrode coating machine.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects: the anti-drumping device of the present invention for lithium battery electrode coating machine is highly versatile and practical.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0024] Example
[0025] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the anti-bulging device for a lithium battery electrode coating machine of this invention includes a frame 1 and two rotating roller mechanisms for contacting the protruding edge portion of the lithium battery electrode 2. Each rotating roller mechanism is rotatably mounted on a support rod 1.1 of the frame 1. Each rotating roller mechanism includes a support arm 3, a connecting rod 4, and a rotating roller module. The connecting rod 4 is connected to the rotating roller module. One end of the support arm 3 is adjustablely connected to the connecting rod 4, and the other end is rotatably and movablely connected to the frame 1, so that the distance between the rotating roller module and the protruding edge portion of the lithium battery electrode 2 is adjustable. The rotating roller module of this invention contacts the protruding edge portion of the lithium battery electrode 2, which is located between the take-up roller and the conveyor roller of the lithium battery electrode coating machine.
[0026] Specifically, the adjustable connection between one end of the support arm 3 and the connecting rod 4 means that the anti-bulging device also includes a fastener 5, the support arm 3 has an adjustment hole 3.1, and the connecting rod 4 has an adjustment hole 4.1. After the position of the connecting rod 4 and the support arm 3 is adjusted, the adjustment hole 4.1 and the adjustment hole 3.1 are connected by the fastener 5 to realize the adjustable connection between the support arm 3 and the connecting rod 4.
[0027] Furthermore, the rotating roller module of this invention is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 4, enabling adjustable rotation angle of the rotating roller module. Specifically, the rotating roller module includes a rotating roller assembly, a frustum 6, a connecting block 7, and an adjusting assembly. The adjusting assembly includes an adjusting block 8 and two adjusting bolts 9. The frustum 6 is located at the bottom of the connecting rod 4, and the adjusting block 8 is rotatably connected to the frustum 6 and connected to the rotating roller assembly. The connecting block 7 is connected to the connecting rod 4, and the two adjusting bolts 9 pass through the connecting block 7 and abut against the adjusting block 8. During operation, rotating one adjusting bolt 9 pushes the adjusting block 8, causing the adjusting block 8 to rotate clockwise along the frustum 6, thus adjusting the clockwise rotation angle of the rotating roller assembly connected to the adjusting block 8; or, rotating the other adjusting bolt 9 pushes the adjusting block 8, causing the adjusting block 8 to rotate counterclockwise along the frustum 6, thus adjusting the counterclockwise rotation angle of the rotating roller assembly connected to the adjusting block 8. The rotating roller assembly includes a rotating roller 10 and a rotating roller frame 11. The rotating roller frame 11 is connected to the adjusting block 8 of the adjusting assembly, and the rotating roller 10 is mounted on the rotating roller frame 11.
[0028] To improve the structural strength of the anti-bulging device, the frame 1 is equipped with reinforcing ribs 12, and the bottom of the frame 1 is equipped with casters 13 with brake components. This design facilitates the movement of the anti-bulging device. The rotating roller module of this invention contacts the protruding edge of the lithium battery electrode 2, which is located between the take-up roller 14 and the conveyor roller 15 of the lithium battery electrode coating machine. In existing lithium battery electrode coating machines, the take-up roller 14 is the very end of the entire machine. During operation, the anti-bulging device can be moved to the very end of the machine to flatten the protruding edge of the lithium battery electrode 2 between the rotating roller module of the anti-bulging device and the take-up roller 14 and the conveyor roller 15.
[0029] The rotating roller module of this invention can be rotated via the support arm 3, allowing it to contact and flatten the protruding edges of lithium battery electrode sheets 2 at different heights. Furthermore, the rotating roller module can be adjusted via the support arm 3 to align with the protruding edges of the lithium battery electrode sheets 2. Additionally, one end of the support arm 3 is adjustablely connected to the connecting rod 4, allowing for adjustment of the roller module's installation height according to actual needs. This makes the distance between the roller module and the protruding edges of the lithium battery electrode sheets 2 adjustable, thereby improving the versatility and practicality of the anti-bulging device. During operation, this invention can flatten the protruding edges of the lithium battery electrode sheets 2 using the gravity of the rotating roller module, effectively preventing bulging on both sides during the coating process of the lithium battery electrode sheets 2. This improves the quality and efficiency of the coating process and enhances the quality of the coated lithium battery electrode sheets 2 when wound up as raw material.
