Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrode foil production, specifically a sampling mechanism for an electrode foil winding machine. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, electrode foil is wound using a winding machine, and after a roll is completed, the electrode foil needs to be cut by a cutter. For example, patent CN216511786U discloses an automatic continuous winding device for electrode foil. After the electrode foil is wound by the first roller, the device uses a first cylinder to drive a cutter to cut the electrode foil laterally, followed by automatic roll changing and other subsequent operations. However, in actual production, to ensure product quality, a section of electrode foil needs to be cut as a sample for relevant performance testing at the end of each roll. Currently, this is mainly done manually by workers to remove the cut electrode foil sample from the winding machine, which poses certain operational risks and has a low degree of automation. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a sampling mechanism for an electrode foil winding machine, which can realize the automatic sampling function after the electrode foil is wound up, avoid the risks of manual operation, and improve the automation level of the equipment.

[0004] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A sampling mechanism for an electrode foil winding machine includes a sampling component located on the upper side of the cutting station of the electrode foil winding machine. The sampling component includes a lateral drive device, a moving plate, and a lifting plate. The lateral drive device is fixed on the electrode foil winding machine, and the moving plate is driven to move laterally by the lateral drive device. The moving plate is equipped with a lifting drive device, and the lifting plate is located below the moving plate and is driven to move up and down by the lifting drive device. The upper side of the lifting plate is equipped with an air pump, and the lower side is equipped with a suction cup assembly. The air pump is connected to the upper end of the suction cup assembly through an air pump connecting pipe. A sample collection box is provided on one side of the cutting station, and the cut electrode foil sample is adsorbed by the suction cup assembly and moved laterally by the moving plate to the upper side of the sample collection box. The lower end of the suction cup assembly is equipped with a floating suction cup.

[0006] The lateral drive device is provided with a mounting base on the side near the electrode foil winding machine, and the mounting base is fixed on the electrode foil winding machine. The other side of the lateral drive device is located above the sample collection box.

[0007] The lifting plate is provided with guide rods on both sides, and the moving plate is provided with guide sleeves on both sides, with the guide rods passing through the corresponding guide sleeves.

[0008] The suction cup assembly includes a mounting sleeve, an air extraction tube, and a suction cup. The mounting sleeve is fixed to the lifting plate, and the air extraction tube is floatingly inserted into the corresponding mounting sleeve by a spring support. The upper end of the air extraction tube is connected to the corresponding air pump connecting pipe, and the lower end is connected to the corresponding suction cup.

[0009] The upper end of the suction pipe passes through the mounting sleeve and is threadedly connected to the limiting nut. The upper end of the suction pipe is provided with an air pipe connector that is connected to the air pump.

[0010] An adjusting nut is fitted at the lower end of the suction pipe, and the spring is sleeved on the suction pipe and located between the mounting sleeve and the adjusting nut.

[0011] The upper end of the mounting sleeve is threaded with an upper clamp and the lower end is threaded with a lower clamp, and the upper and lower clamps clamp the lifting plate.

[0012] The advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. This utility model can realize the automatic sampling function after the electrode foil is wound up, avoiding the risks of manual operation and improving the automation level of the equipment.

[0014] 2. Considering the relatively thin nature of the electrode foil, this utility model incorporates a spring in the suction cup assembly to achieve floating buffering during the suction cup adsorption at the lower end. This avoids situations such as damaging the electrode foil, thereby ensuring accurate subsequent electrode foil sample testing.

[0015] 3. In this utility model, the lower end of the spring in the suction cup assembly abuts against the adjusting nut. Tightening the adjusting nut can change the compression of the spring, thereby adjusting the floating buffer force of the spring according to the electrode foil product. The upper end of the suction cup assembly has an upper clamp and a lower clamp threaded on the mounting sleeve for fixation. Tightening the upper clamp and the lower clamp to change their position on the mounting sleeve can achieve the purpose of fine-tuning the height of the suction pipe and the suction cup according to the electrode foil thickness and other conditions. The above structure improves the flexibility of use and further ensures that the electrode foil will not be damaged.

[0016] 4. The overall structure of this utility model is simple and compact, and it can be directly installed on existing electrode foil winding machines, which facilitates the modification of on-site equipment. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model includes a sampling component 2, which is located on the upper side of the cutting station of the electrode foil winding machine 1. The sampling component 2 includes a transverse driving device 201, a moving plate 202, and a lifting plate 204. The transverse driving device 201 is fixed on the electrode foil winding machine 1, and the moving plate 202 is driven to move laterally by the transverse driving device 201. The moving plate 202 is provided with a lifting driving device 203. The lifting plate 204 is located on the lower side of the moving plate 202 and is driven to move up and down by the lifting driving device 203. The upper side of the lifting plate 204 is provided with a vacuum pump 205, and the lower side is provided with a suction cup assembly 206. The vacuum pump 205 is connected to the upper end of the suction cup assembly 206 through a pump connecting pipe 2051. A sample collection box 101 is provided on one side of the cutting station. The cut electrode foil sample is adsorbed by the suction cup assembly 206 and transferred laterally by the moving plate 202 to the upper side of the sample collection box 101.

[0026] like Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the lateral drive device 201 is provided with a slide block 2011, and one end of the moving plate 202 is fixed to the slide block 2011. The lateral drive device 201 can be equipped with a suitable device according to actual needs, such as an electric slide rail, a rodless cylinder, etc. Additionally, as shown... Figure 6 As shown, the transverse drive device 201 has a mounting base 2012 on the side near the electrode foil winding machine 1, and the mounting base 2012 is fixed to the corresponding structure of the electrode foil winding machine 1. Figure 1 As shown, the other side of the lateral drive device 201 is located above the sample collection box 101.

[0027] like Figures 2-3 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the lifting drive device 203 is fixed on the movable plate 202 and its power shaft end is connected to the lifting plate 204. Guide rods 2041 are provided on both sides of the lifting plate 204, and guide sleeves 2021 are provided on both sides of the movable plate 202. The guide rods 2041 pass through the corresponding guide sleeves 2021, thus providing a lifting guide function to ensure the vertical lifting of the lifting plate 204. The lifting drive device 203 can be selected from suitable devices as needed, such as a lifting cylinder.

[0028] like Figures 3-5 As shown, in this embodiment, the suction cup assembly 206 includes a mounting sleeve 2064, an air extraction pipe 2062, and a suction cup 2061. The mounting sleeve 2064 is fixed on the lifting plate 204, and the air extraction pipe 2062 is floatingly inserted into the corresponding mounting sleeve 2064 by a spring 2063. The upper end of the air extraction pipe 2062 is connected to the corresponding air pump connecting pipe 2051, and the lower end is connected to the corresponding suction cup 2061.

[0029] like Figures 3-5 As shown, in this embodiment, the upper end of the suction pipe 2062 passes through the mounting sleeve 2064 and is threadedly connected to the limiting nut 20622. The limiting nut 20622 cooperates with the upper end of the mounting sleeve 2064 to limit the downward displacement of the suction pipe 2062. The upper end of the suction pipe 2062 is provided with an air pipe connector 20621 connected to the air pump connecting pipe 2051, and the lower end is fitted with an adjusting nut 20623. The spring 2063 is sleeved on the suction pipe 2062 and is located between the mounting sleeve 2064 and the adjusting nut 20623. Tightening the adjusting nut 20623 can change the compression of the spring 2063, thereby adjusting the floating buffer force of the spring 2063 according to the electrode foil product.

[0030] like Figures 3-5As shown, in this embodiment, the upper end of the mounting sleeve 2064 is threaded with an upper clamp 20641, and the lower end is threaded with a lower clamp 20642. The upper clamp 20641 and the lower clamp 20642 clamp the lifting plate 204, thereby fixing the mounting sleeve 2064 on the lifting plate 204. By twisting the upper clamp 20641 or the lower clamp 20642 to change their position on the mounting sleeve 2064, the height of the suction pipe 2062 and the suction cup 2061 can be finely adjusted according to the electrode foil thickness and other conditions.

[0031] The electrode foil winding machine 1 is a commercially available product. In addition, the air pump 205 is connected to the relevant device through a hose of sufficient length, which will not affect the movement.

[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0033] In actual production, after a roll of material is completed, the cutting mechanism on the electrode foil winding machine 1 will cut a section of electrode foil as a sample for relevant performance testing. The cutting mechanism is a well-known technology in the field, such as the mechanism in patents CN216511786U.

[0034] However, in the existing technology, the cut electrode foil samples are mainly taken out of the rolling machine by the staff manually. This utility model can realize the automatic sampling function, avoid the operational risks, and improve the automation level of the equipment.

[0035] The specific working process of this utility model includes the following steps:

[0036] Step 1: The moving plate 202 is driven to move above the cutting station by the horizontal driving device 201.

[0037] Step 2: The lifting plate 204 is lowered so that the suction cup 2061 at the lower end of the suction cup assembly 206 contacts the end of the electrode foil.

[0038] Step 3: The vacuum pump 205 is started to cause the suction cup 2061 to adsorb and fix the end of the electrode foil.

[0039] Step 4: The cutting mechanism on electrode foil winding machine 1 starts cutting to separate the sample portion from the other electrode foils.

[0040] Step 5: The lifting plate 204 lifts the electrode foil sample to the set height.

[0041] Step 6: The moving plate 202 is driven by the horizontal driving device 201 to move the electrode foil sample to above the sample collection box 101.

[0042] Step 7: Stop the vacuum pump 205 so that the suction cup 2061 no longer adsorbs the electrode foil sample. At this time, the electrode foil sample automatically falls into the sample collection box 101.

[0043] Furthermore, due to the relatively thin nature of the electrode foil, the suction cup assembly 206 of this invention includes a spring 2063 to provide floating buffering during suction by the lower suction cup 2061, thereby preventing damage to the electrode foil. The lower end of the spring 2063 abuts against the adjusting nut 20623. Tightening the adjusting nut 20623 changes the compression of the spring 2063, allowing adjustment of the floating buffering force of the spring 2063 according to the electrode foil product. The upper clamp 2064 and lower clamp 20642 are threaded onto the mounting sleeve 2064 at the upper end of the suction cup assembly 206 for fixation. Tightening the upper clamp 20641 or lower clamp 20642 changes their position on the mounting sleeve 2064, allowing fine adjustment of the height of the suction pipe 2062 and the suction cup 2061 according to the electrode foil thickness. This structure improves the flexibility of use of this invention while further ensuring that the electrode foil is not damaged, thus guaranteeing accurate subsequent sampling and testing.
