Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the lithium battery industry, and in particular to a rotatable alcohol-coated electrode mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the lithium battery industry is developing rapidly, with continuous updates and iterations in technology. In pursuit of higher battery performance, a region is cleaned off the surface of the cell electrode for charging and discharging. However, due to the requirements of current electrode manufacturing processes and the limitations of electrode coating technology, after the slurry is coated onto the substrate, it adheres tightly to the substrate after processes such as drying and rolling. It is impossible to quickly and accurately peel off the coating in a certain area. Therefore, lasers are needed to process the electrode to separate the coating layer from the substrate, which facilitates subsequent die-cutting, stacking, and welding of the cell.

[0003] Since the electrode material consists of a coating layer (carbon powder or lithium iron phosphate) and a base layer (copper foil or aluminum foil), which are bonded together with adhesives such as glue, the coating layer needs to be thoroughly cleaned multiple times during laser processing. This process is too time-consuming and results in poor precision. Therefore, the coating layer should be soaked in alcohol first to make it easier for the coating to detach from the base layer, thus reducing the difficulty of laser processing. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a rotatable alcohol-coated electrode mechanism.

[0012] The second method is to rotate the cylinder 90 degrees to make it horizontal, and then manually apply alcohol to the lint-free cloth to wet it.

[0013] As an improvement of the rotatable alcohol-coated electrode mechanism of this utility model, a handle assembly is provided on one side of the rotating shaft connecting seat. The handle assembly can drive the rotating shaft connecting seat to rotate, thereby driving the cylinder to rotate.

[0014] As an improvement of the rotatable alcohol-coated electrode mechanism of this utility model, the handle assembly includes a spring, a positioning pin, a handle, and a second washer. The spring passes through the positioning pin, the second washer is located between the handle and the rotating shaft connecting seat, one end of the positioning pin is fixed on the rotating shaft connecting seat, and the other end is screwed to the handle.

[0015] As an improvement to the rotatable alcohol-coating electrode mechanism of this utility model, the upper surface of the substrate fixing platform is provided with a positioning reference line. The positioning reference line can be manually adjusted to adjust the alcohol coating position according to the size of the electrode and the required position, adapting to various sizes of electrode for positioning, and then providing a reference edge for laser processing.

[0030] Preferably, the bottom of the coating head 8 is covered with at least one layer of cleanroom cloth (not shown), and alcohol liquid flows out from the outlet 81 and wets the cleanroom cloth. There are two methods for wetting the cleanroom cloth:

[0031] The first method involves injecting alcohol into the coating head 8 through the injection needle 85 when the cylinder 2 is in a vertical position. The alcohol then evenly wets the lint-free cloth through the outlet hole 81 inside the coating head 8. The injection needle 85 can inject alcohol in a measured amount.
