Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrode roll unloading, and in particular to an automatic unloading mechanism for an electrode slitting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Electrode rolls are key materials in lithium-ion battery manufacturing. They are made by coating active materials with metal foil (aluminum foil for positive electrode and copper foil for negative electrode), and then forming a continuous strip structure after rolling and drying. As the core carrier of the positive and negative electrodes of the battery, the uniformity of coating and dimensional accuracy of the electrode rolls directly affect the battery's capacity, safety and cycle life. Electrode roll slitting is the process of cutting wide original rolls into narrow rolls that meet the battery design width.

[0003] After the original electrode roll is cut, the electrode roll body is placed on the storage rod. The existing unloading method relies on manual unloading, that is, pushing the electrode roll body to slide out from one end of the storage rod. However, the electrode roll body is large in size and heavy in weight, and manual unloading is time-consuming, labor-intensive and inefficient. Therefore, an automatic unloading mechanism for electrode slitting machine is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic feeding mechanism for an electrode slitting machine, so as to solve the problems of time-consuming and labor-intensive manual feeding and low feeding efficiency mentioned in the background art. The technical solution of this utility model provides a solution that is significantly different from the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An automatic feeding mechanism for an electrode slitting machine includes a rotary table and a support column. The mechanism is characterized by: a feeding motor mounted on the side of the rotary table; a rotatable column mounted on top of the rotary table; a support arm mounted on one side of the rotary table; the support column located on one side of the column; the support column and the column connected by a reinforcing plate; a parallel storage rod and a crossbeam mounted on one side of the support column; one end of the storage rod connected to the support column; an electrode roll body threaded onto the storage rod; a push plate for pushing the electrode roll body slidably connected to the crossbeam; and a driving mechanism for moving the push plate on the support column and the crossbeam.

A first movable seat is provided on the first lead screw, and a first sensor is provided on one side of the first lead screw. The first motor is fixed on a load-bearing column, and the first sensor is fixed on a crossbeam.

[0009] Preferably, the second drive mechanism is a second lead screw, one end of which is connected to a second motor via a second coupling. A second movable seat is provided on the second lead screw, and a second sensor is provided on one side of the second lead screw.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This invention features a first lead screw and a second lead screw on each side of a crossbeam, and movable upper and lower push plates on the top and bottom of the crossbeam, respectively. During unloading, a rotary table rotates the crossbeam to the unloading position. Then, a first motor controls the first lead screw to rotate, driving the upper push plate to push the electrode roll body out from the upper storage rod. A second motor then controls the second lead screw to rotate, driving the lower push plate to push the electrode roll body out from the lower storage rod. After unloading is completed, the rotary table drives the crossbeam to reset. Compared with the traditional method of manually pushing the electrode roll body out from one end of the storage rod, this invention reduces the labor intensity of personnel and improves unloading efficiency.

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.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 In this utility model, an automatic feeding mechanism for an electrode slitting machine includes a rotary table 1 and a supporting column 5. A feeding motor 101 is provided on the side of the rotary table 1, and a rotatable column 102 is provided on the top of the rotary table 1. A support arm 2 is provided on one side of the rotary table 1. The supporting column 5 is located on one side of the column 102. The supporting column 5 and the column 102 are connected by a reinforcing plate 104. From top to bottom, an upper storage rod 508, a crossbeam 501, and a lower storage rod 509 are arranged on one side of the supporting column 5. One end of the upper storage rod 508 and the lower storage rod 509 are connected to the supporting column 5. An electrode roll body 3 is provided on the outside of the upper storage rod 508 and the lower storage rod 509. An upper slide rail 502 and a lower slide rail 505 are provided on the top and bottom of the crossbeam 501, respectively. A first lead screw 6 and a second lead screw 7 are provided on both sides of the crossbeam 501, respectively.

[0024] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-4 In this embodiment of the utility model, an automatic feeding mechanism for an electrode slitting machine is provided. One end of the first lead screw 6 is connected to the first motor 604 via a first coupling 603. A first movable seat 602 is provided on the first lead screw 6. Two first sensors 605 are provided at the front end of the first lead screw 6. An origin sensor for detecting the position of the upper push plate 601 is provided at the rear end of the first lead screw 6. The two first sensors 605 are respectively used to detect the push-out limit point and the retraction limit point, which can prevent the first lead screw 6 from having an excessive conveying stroke.

[0025] The first motor 604 is fixed on the load-bearing column 5, the first sensor 605 is fixed on the crossbeam 501, an upper slide table 503 is provided above the crossbeam 501, an upper slider 504 is installed below the upper slide table 503, an upper push plate 601 is fixed on the upper slide table 503, the upper slider 504 is installed on the upper slide rail 502, and the upper push plate 601 is connected to the first movable seat 602.

[0026] One end of the second lead screw 7 is connected to the second motor 704 via the second coupling 703. The second lead screw 7 is provided with a second movable seat 702. The front end of the second lead screw 7 is provided with two second sensors 705. The rear end of the second lead screw 7 is provided with an origin sensor for detecting the position of the push plate 701. The two second sensors 705 are used to detect the push-out limit point and the retraction limit point, respectively, which can prevent the second lead screw 7 from having an excessive transfer stroke.

[0027] The second motor 704 is fixed on the load-bearing column 5, the second sensor 705 is fixed on the crossbeam 501, a sliding platform 506 is provided below the crossbeam 501, a sliding block 507 is provided above the sliding platform 506, a push plate 701 is fixed below the sliding platform 506, the sliding block 507 is installed on the sliding rail 505, and the push plate 701 is connected to the second movable seat 702.

[0028] The feeding motor 101 drives the column 102 to rotate, causing the crossbeam 501 to rotate to the feeding position. Then, the first motor 604 controls the first lead screw 6 to rotate, driving the upper push plate 601 to push the electrode roll body 3 out from the upper storage rod 508. The second motor 704 then controls the second lead screw 7 to rotate, driving the lower push plate 701 to push the electrode roll body 3 out from the lower storage rod 509. After feeding is completed, the feeding motor 101 drives the crossbeam 501 to reset. Compared with the traditional method of manually pushing the electrode roll body 3 to slide out from one end of the storage rod, this reduces the labor intensity of personnel and improves feeding efficiency. At the same time, the first sensor 605 and the second sensor 705 respectively detect the extreme positions of the electrode roll body 3 above and below the crossbeam 501, improving safety during feeding.

[0029] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 1-4 The difference from Embodiment 1 is that: the support arm 2 has two support rods on its side, and one end of each support rod is provided with a rubber pad 201. The lower end of the support arm 2 is provided with a linear slide rail 202 and a rodless cylinder 203. The upper and lower surfaces of the crossbeam 501 are provided with baffles 401. Both sides of the crossbeam 501 are provided with guard plates 4. The side of the column 102 is provided with an operation panel 103.

[0030] After the material is unloaded, the upper storage rod 508 and the lower storage rod 509 are in a material-free state. The unloading motor 101 drives the crossbeam 501 back to the material receiving position. At this time, the upper storage rod 508 and the lower storage rod 509 are respectively located on the rubber pads 201 at one end of the upper and lower support rods, so that the support arm 2 provides support for the upper storage rod 508 and the lower storage rod 509. This prevents the electrode roll body 3 from being put back on the upper storage rod 508 and the lower storage rod 509 after the original electrode roll is cut, which would cause them to sink. This further improves the overall stability of the equipment.

[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When unloading, the rotary table 1 drives the crossbeam 501 to rotate to the unloading position. Then, the first lead screw 6 and the second lead screw 7 rotate in sequence, respectively driving the upper push plate 601 and the lower push plate 701 to move, thereby pushing the electrode roll body 3 out from the upper storage rod 508 and the lower storage rod 509. Compared with the traditional method of pushing the electrode roll body 3 out from one end of the storage rod by personnel, the labor intensity of personnel is reduced and the unloading efficiency is improved.

[0032] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0033] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
