[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0031] The following is combined Figures 1 to 3 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.

[0032] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a tab coating device is provided, comprising: a glue feeding assembly 10, a worktable 20, and a glue cutting assembly; the glue feeding assembly 10 includes a glue feeder 11 and a first rotating shaft 12, the glue feeder 11 is sleeved on the first rotating shaft 12, and the glue feeder 11 has an adsorption hole 111, which is suitable for adsorbing and pulling the tape; the worktable 20 is disposed below the glue feeder 11, and the worktable 20 includes a main body 21 and a lifting part 22, the lifting part 22 being vertically and vertically disposed on the main body 21. Inside, the main body 21 is movably arranged laterally, and the lifting part 22 is provided with a fixing groove 221 and a cutting groove 222. The cutting groove 222 is located on the side of the fixing groove 221 away from the glue feeder 11, and the fixing groove 221 is suitable for fixing the electrode tab. The glue cutting assembly includes a glue cutting knife 31, which is movably arranged in the cutting groove 222. The electrode tab coating device includes an idle state and a coating state. In the idle state, the glue feeder 11 and the lifting part 22 are spaced apart. In the coating state, the glue feeder 11 abuts against the electrode tab in the fixing groove 221.

[0033] The tab coating device of this embodiment, through the coordinated operation of the glue feeding assembly 10, the worktable 20 and the glue cutting assembly, can achieve rapid glue feeding, positioning and cutting actions, which greatly improves the coating speed and increases the number of coatings per unit time. Through the precise mechanical structure, it can ensure that the position, force and length of each coating are highly consistent, which greatly improves the stability and consistency of coating quality and reduces the defect rate.

[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, the side of the adhesive tape adsorbed on the glue feeder 11 that is away from the first rotating shaft 12 is the adhesive side; such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the figure represents the idle state. In this embodiment, the glue feeder 11 is located on the left side of the fixed groove 221, and the cutter groove 222 is located on the right side of the fixed groove 221.

[0035] Specifically, when using the tab coating device, the tape is attracted and driven by the tape feeder 11. After the lifting part 22 is raised, the tape comes into contact with the tab of the fixing groove 221. The main body 21 moves laterally so that the tape is completely adhered to the surface of the tab. Then the tape cutter 31 is raised to cut the tape. The tape cutter 31 and the lifting part 22 descend in sequence to complete the single-sided coating of the tab.

[0036] It should be noted that the negative pressure adsorption force generated by the adsorption hole 111 is less than the adhesive force between the tape and the tab. That is, when the tab and the tape come into contact and adhere, the adhered part of the tape will detach from the tape feeder 11.

[0037] It should be noted that, in order to facilitate tape cutting, different sizes of tape can be selected according to the size of the tabs, and easy-cut holes can be reserved on the tape to facilitate tape cutting.

[0038] It should be noted that a negative pressure hole can be opened in the fixing groove 221, and negative pressure can be generated in the fixing groove 221 by evacuating air, so that the electrode tab is firmly fixed in the fixing groove 221; or, mechanical structures such as buckles can be used to fix the electrode tab.

[0039] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the glue feeding assembly 10 also includes a first stop 13, which is sleeved on the first rotating shaft 12. There are two first stops 13, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the glue feeder 11 and abut against the glue feeder 11.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the two first stops 13 clamp and fix the glue feeder 11.

[0041] It should be noted that the positions of the two first stops 13 can be adjusted according to actual needs, thereby adjusting the position of the glue feeder 11.

[0042] It is worth noting that by setting the first stop 13, the displacement of the glue feeder 11 along the first rotating shaft 12 is restricted to both sides, so as to prevent the position of the glue feeder 11 from changing during the operation of the tab coating device and avoid affecting the product quality.

[0043] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the glue feeding assembly 10 also includes a tape reel 14 and a second rotating shaft 15. The tape reel 14 is sleeved on the second rotating shaft 15. The rotation direction of the second rotating shaft 15 is opposite to the rotation direction of the first rotating shaft 12. The tape reel 14 is adapted to supply tape to the glue feeder 11.

[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first rotating shaft 12 rotates clockwise, and the second rotating shaft 15 rotates counterclockwise.

[0045] It should be noted that the first rotating shaft 12 and the second rotating shaft 15 rotate synchronously to facilitate synchronous transmission of the conveyor belt and prevent the conveyor belt from being stretched and broken during transmission.

[0046] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the glue feeding assembly 10 also includes a second stop 16, which is sleeved on the second rotating shaft 15. There are two second stops 16, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the tape reel 14 and abut against the tape reel 14.

[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the two second stops 16 clamp and fix the tape reel 14.

[0048] It should be noted that the positions of the two second stops 16 can be adjusted according to actual needs, thereby adjusting the position of the tape reel 14.

[0049] Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the position of the tape reel 14 can also be fixed by means of engaging the tape reel 14 with the second rotating shaft 15.

[0050] It is worth noting that by setting the second stop 16, the tape reel 14 is restricted from moving to both sides along the second rotating shaft 15, so as to prevent the position of the tape reel 14 from changing during the operation of the tab coating device and avoid affecting the product quality.

[0051] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the glue feeding assembly 10 also includes a support rod 17, which is rotatably disposed between the glue feeder 11 and the tape reel 14. The rotation direction of the support rod 17 is the same as the rotation direction of the first rotating shaft 12, and the support rod 17 is suitable for supporting the tape.

[0052] It should be noted that the support rod 17 is in contact with the non-adhesive side of the tape.

[0053] It should be noted that the support rod 17 is rotatable, which can reduce the friction between the support rod 17 and the tape, and reduce the wear on the tape.

[0054] It is worth noting that by setting the support rod 17, the glue feeder 11 and the tape reel 14 are supported, preventing the tape from sagging and rolling into other components; by rotating the support rod 17, the tape is driven and guided towards the glue feeder 11.

[0055] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, there are several support rods 17, which are spaced apart.

[0056] Specifically, in this embodiment, five support rods 17 are provided.

[0057] Of course, in other alternative implementations, the number of support rods 17 can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0058] It is worth noting that by setting several support rods 17, the support stability of the tape is further improved.

[0059] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the worktable 20 also includes a transverse motor 23 and a lifting motor 24. The drive end of the transverse motor 23 is connected to the main body 21, and the drive end of the lifting motor 24 is connected to the lifting part 22.

[0060] It is worth noting that by setting up the transverse motor 23 and the lifting motor 24, precise control of the main body 21 and the lifting part 22 can be achieved, resulting in a fast response speed and improved work efficiency of the tab coating process.

[0061] It should be noted that in other alternative embodiments, the lateral displacement of the main body 21 and the lifting displacement of the lifting part 22 can also be driven by means of cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, electromagnetic drives, etc.

[0062] It should be noted that in other alternative embodiments, the worktable 20 can also be fixedly installed, and the glue feeding assembly 10 can be moved as a whole by means of a motor, cylinder or other driving method.

[0063] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the worktable 20 also includes a guide rail 25, and the main body 21 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 25.

[0064] Specifically, in this embodiment, two guide rails 25 are provided at parallel intervals.

[0065] It is worth noting that by setting the guide rail 25, the movement of the main body 21 can be constrained, limiting its movement or shaking in other unnecessary directions, thereby enhancing the stability of the entire system; when the main body 21 or the guide rail 25 fails, since they are connected in a sliding manner, it is easy to disassemble and repair.

[0066] In one embodiment, the cutting assembly further includes a cutting cylinder (not shown), the drive end of which is connected to the cutting blade 31 to extend or retract the cutting groove 222.

[0067] It is worth noting that by adjusting the speed and pressure of the cylinder's air intake and exhaust, the speed, stroke, and position of the rubber cutting blade 31's extension and retraction can be precisely controlled, thereby enabling high-precision rubber cutting.

[0068] In one embodiment, the tab coating device further includes a control component, which is electrically connected to the transverse motor 23, the lifting motor 24, the first rotating shaft 12, and the glue-cutting cylinder.

[0069] Specifically, the transverse motor 23, the lifting motor 24, the first rotating shaft 12, and the cutting cylinder transmit their respective motion information to the control component via electrical signals. The control component analyzes the electrical signals and controls each actuator to perform the next action.

[0070] It is worth noting that the control component receives, analyzes, and controls each actuator to achieve integrated control of the tab coating device.

[0071] Using the tab coating device of this embodiment, firstly, the tab is placed in the fixing groove 221; then, the lifting motor 24 raises the lifting part 22, and the tab comes into contact with the tape on the glue feeder 11 and adheres; then, the traverse motor 23 pushes the main body 21 and the lifting part 22 to the left, and the glue feeder 11 rolls to feed glue at the same time, and the entire surface of the tab is adhered with tape; then, the glue cutting cylinder drives the glue cutting blade 31 to rise, cuts the tape and resets; finally, the lifting motor 24 and the traverse motor 23 reset, and the tab is coated on one side.

[0072] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by the present invention.
