Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lithium battery slitting technology, and more specifically, to a lithium battery cell electrode slitting knife. Background Technology
[0002] Electrode slitting is a crucial step in lithium battery production, and its quality directly impacts battery performance. Traditional slitting blades are prone to wear, burrs, and material adhesion after prolonged use, resulting in uneven electrode cuts and even generating metal dust, affecting battery safety and consistency. Existing blades often employ a single-edge structure, which lacks sufficient wear resistance, leading to poor slitting results. Therefore, a new type of slitting blade is urgently needed to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a lithium battery cell electrode slitting tool to solve the above-mentioned deficiencies.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] This utility model discloses a lithium battery cell electrode slitting tool, comprising a blade body and a cutting edge structure. The outer ring of the blade body is provided with an annular cutting edge structure. The surfaces of the blade body and the cutting edge structure are coated with a diamond-like carbon coating with a thickness of 2-5 μm and a hardness ≥2000 HV to reduce electrode material adhesion. The cutting edge structure adopts a multi-stage stepped cutting edge, including a main cutting edge and an auxiliary finishing edge. The main cutting edge and the auxiliary finishing edge are connected by an arc transition to form segmented cutting, reducing cutting resistance, reducing burrs, and improving cut smoothness. The blade body is embedded with a micro heat-conducting tube to absorb the heat of the cutting edge structure and achieve rapid heat diffusion through capillary action. The micro heat-conducting tube is made of copper-graphite composite material.
[0006] Preferably, the inner ring of the blade body has an installation port, and the side wall of the installation port has a positioning groove.
[0007] Preferably, a heat dissipation groove is provided on the blade body near the mounting port, and a micro heat-conducting tube is inserted through the heat dissipation groove.
[0008] Preferably, the heat dissipation grooves are distributed in concentric circles and are located in the non-working area of the blade body, mainly in the clamping part, to avoid affecting the overall strength of the blade body. The heat dissipation grooves enhance convection heat dissipation by increasing the surface area. Heat dissipation micro-holes are opened on the outer wall of the blade body near the heat dissipation grooves to accelerate the heat diffusion in the heat dissipation grooves.
[0009] Preferably, wear-resistant protrusions are evenly spaced on the blade body near the auxiliary polishing blade. The wear-resistant protrusions have a hemispherical structure. During slitting, the wear-resistant protrusions reduce the contact area between the blade body and the battery cell electrode, thereby reducing frictional heat.
[0010] Preferably, the main cutting edge is connected to the blade body via an auxiliary finishing edge, the main cutting edge has an inclination angle of 15°-30°, and the auxiliary finishing edge has an inclination angle of 5°-10°.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages:
[0012] This utility model discloses a lithium battery cell electrode slitting blade, which adopts a stepped cutting edge design with a main cutting edge and an auxiliary finishing edge to achieve segmented cutting, reduce burrs, and improve the flatness of the cut. The diamond-like carbon coating prevents the adhesion of battery cell electrode material and ensures smooth cutting edges. At the same time, it uses a combination of micro heat pipes and heat dissipation grooves to efficiently dissipate heat for the cutting edge structure. The heat dissipation micropores enhance convection and prevent the cutting edge structure from becoming dull due to thermal deformation. Wear-resistant bumps reduce frictional heat and further reduce heat accumulation. It can stably slit 6-20μm ultra-thin copper foil, aluminum foil, and coated electrode sheets. The mounting port and positioning groove ensure precise alignment of the blade and the blade body and avoid cutting deviation caused by vibration. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] To further understand the content of this utility model, a detailed description of this utility model will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0020] Combination Figures 1-4 This utility model discloses a lithium battery cell electrode slitting knife, which includes a blade body 1 and a cutting edge structure 2. The outer ring of the blade body 1 is provided with an annular cutting edge structure 2. The surfaces of the blade body 1 and the cutting edge structure 2 are coated with a diamond-like carbon coating with a thickness of 2-5μm and a hardness ≥2000HV to reduce the adhesion of electrode material.
[0021] Specifically, the inner ring of the blade body 1 has an installation port 11, the side wall of the installation port 11 has a positioning groove 12, the blade body 1 has a heat dissipation groove 13 near the installation port 11, a micro heat conduction tube 14 is inserted through the heat dissipation groove 13, the micro heat conduction tube 14 extends to a position near the cutting edge structure 2, the micro heat conduction tube 14 is made of copper-graphite composite material, the micro heat conduction tube 14 absorbs the heat of the cutting edge structure 2, and the heat is rapidly diffused by capillary action.
[0022] It should be noted that the heat dissipation grooves 13 are distributed in concentric circles. The heat dissipation grooves 13 are located in the non-working area of the blade body 1, mainly in the clamping part, to avoid affecting the overall strength of the blade body 1. The heat dissipation grooves 13 enhance convection heat dissipation by increasing the surface area. Heat dissipation micro-holes 15 are opened on the outer wall of the blade body 1 near the heat dissipation grooves 13 to accelerate the heat diffusion in the heat dissipation grooves 13.
[0023] In this embodiment, the cutting edge structure 2 adopts a multi-stage stepped cutting edge, including a main cutting edge 21 and an auxiliary finishing edge 22. The two are connected by a circular arc transition to form a segmented cutting, which reduces cutting resistance, reduces burrs, and improves the flatness of the cut.
[0024] More specifically, the main cutting edge 21 is connected to the insert body 1 through the auxiliary finishing edge 22. The inclination angle of the main cutting edge 21 is 15°-30°, and the inclination angle of the auxiliary finishing edge 22 is 5°-10°.
[0025] In addition, in order to reduce frictional heat, wear-resistant protrusions 16 are provided at equal intervals on the blade body 1 near the auxiliary polishing blade 22. The wear-resistant protrusions 16 are hemispherical structures with a diameter of 0.5-1mm and a height of 0.1-0.2mm. During slitting, the wear-resistant protrusions 16 reduce the contact area between the blade body 1 and the battery cell electrode, thereby reducing frictional heat.
[0026] Working process: The battery cell electrode sheets pass through the slitting blade at a uniform speed under tension control. The main cutting edge 21 first cuts into the battery cell electrode sheet for rough cutting. The auxiliary finishing edge 22 then performs secondary finishing on the cut to remove burrs and ensure a smooth cut. The wear-resistant protrusions 16 reduce the contact area between the blade and the electrode sheet, reducing frictional heat accumulation. The heat generated during the slitting process is transferred to the blade body 1 through the cutting edge structure 2. The micro heat-conducting tube 14 uses capillary action to quickly absorb heat and diffuse it along the heat dissipation groove 13. The heat dissipation micropores 15 accelerate air convection and further improve heat dissipation efficiency. The diamond-like carbon coating reduces electrode material adhesion and prevents debris accumulation. The metal debris generated during slitting is promptly removed by centrifugal force or airflow blowing system to avoid secondary pollution.
