Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sodium-ion battery production technology, and in particular to a pressing device for negative electrode sheets used in sodium-ion battery production. Background Technology
[0002] Sodium-ion batteries are a type of rechargeable battery that primarily functions by the movement of sodium ions between the positive and negative electrodes, similar in principle to lithium-ion batteries. The production process of sodium-ion batteries involves pressing the positive and negative electrode sheets together.
[0003] Patent publication number CN220760829U discloses a pressing device for positive and negative electrode sheets in sodium-ion battery production, belonging to the field of sodium-ion battery production technology. It includes a mold base with three pressing slots evenly spaced on it, connecting the upper and lower ends of the mold base. A second mounting plate is installed at the front end of the mold base. A demolding device is movably mounted on the mold base and the second mounting plate. The demolding device consists of a base plate, a first rod, a support plate, a second rod, a spring, and a pull block. There are three first rods evenly installed at the rear end of the base plate, and three support plates are installed at the rear ends of the three first rods respectively. The second rod is installed at the front end of the base plate, the spring is sleeved on the second rod, and the pull block is installed at the front end of the second rod. The presence of the demolding device, combined with the pressing slots connecting the upper and lower ends of the mold base, reduces the number of pressing steps in the battery production process, simplifying the pressing process and thus increasing the efficiency of battery pressing production.
[0004] The patent requires manual pulling of a pull block during the production of negative electrode sheets. The pull block substrate and rod number one pull the support plate out so that the pressed negative electrode sheets can be unloaded from the pressing groove. This makes the equipment less automated in the production of negative electrode sheets and increases the workload of the operators. Summary of the Invention

[0026] The driving component includes two toothed plates 6 horizontally movably connected to both sides of the operating table 1. A slide groove 17 is horizontally opened on the side of the operating table 1. A slider 16 is slidably connected in the slide groove 17. The slider 16 is fixedly connected to the toothed plate 6. A spring 15 is fixed between the slider 16 and the slide groove 17. A clearance groove 14 is opened in each pressing groove 12. The clearance groove 14 is adapted to the bearing plate 13. A long gear 8 is provided on the top surface of the toothed plate 6. The long gear 8 is rotatably connected to the side of the operating table 1. A support plate 2 is fixed at the ends of the two toothed plates 6. Multiple support rods 5 are horizontally fixed on the inner side of the support plate 2. The support rods 5 move through the storage groove 4. A support rod 5 is fixed at the end of each bearing plate 13. A through groove 19 is passed through the side of each toothed plate 6. A reset component is provided in the through groove 19. The reset component is connected to the long gear 8 in a transmission.
[0027] The reset component includes a U-shaped plate 100 fixedly connected in the through groove 19, a rotating shaft rotatably connected inside the U-shaped plate, a short gear 18 fixedly sleeved on the outer edge of the rotating shaft, the tooth end of the short gear 18 extending out of the through groove 19 and flush with the teeth on the toothed plate 6, the short gear 18 meshing with the long gear 8, a ratchet 20 fixedly sleeved on the outer edge of the rotating shaft, the ratchet 20 meshing with the pawl 21 on the outside, the pawl 21 movably connected in the through groove 19, an arc-shaped groove 23 opened in the U-shaped plate 100, an arc-shaped block movably connected in the arc-shaped groove 23, the arc-shaped block fixedly connected to the pawl 21, a spring 22 fixed together between the arc-shaped groove 23 and the arc-shaped block, the starting end of the teeth of the toothed plate 6 located on the rear side of the through groove 19, and the toothed plate 6 and the toothed plate 7 not on the same plane.
[0028] By setting a drive unit connected to multiple support plates 13 on the side of the operating table 1 and connecting the drive unit to the pressing unit, the equipment can automatically open the support plate 13 when it is lifted after pressing the negative electrode sheet, so that the negative electrode sheet leaves the support plate 13 and is unloaded from below the pressing groove 12 without having to manually open the support plate 13. At the same time, after the negative electrode sheet is unloaded from the top surface of the support plate 13, the support plate 13 automatically returns to its original position, thereby improving the automation of the equipment and reducing the workload of the operator.
[0029] Working principle: During use, cylinder 9 drives top plate 11 to descend, top plate 11 drives pressure block 10 to press the negative electrode in pressure groove 12. At the same time, top plate 11 drives toothed plate 7 to descend, so that toothed plate 7 meshes with long gear 8. After toothed plate 7 meshes with long gear 8, when toothed plate 7 descends, it drives long gear 8 to rotate counterclockwise. At the same time, long gear 8 drives short gear 18 to rotate, short gear 18 drives ratchet 20 to rotate. When ratchet 20 rotates, it drives pawl 21, which meshes with ratchet 20, to swing upwards and back and forth. At the same time, arc block reciprocates in arc groove 23. The movement causes the second spring 22 to continuously compress and reset. At this time, the first toothed plate 6 and the long gear 8 are in a non-meshing state, and the first toothed plate 6 is in a stationary state. After the pressure block 10 finishes pressing the negative electrode sheet in the pressing groove 12, the cylinder 9 will drive the top plate 11 to rise. When the top plate 11 rises, it drives the pressure block 10 to rise, and the pressure block 10 drives the second toothed plate 7 to rise. The second toothed plate 7 drives the long gear 8 to rotate clockwise. At this time, the ratchet 20 in the through groove 19 is locked under the limit of the pawl 21, so that the short gear 18 cannot rotate. The long gear 8, through the short gear 18, pushes the short gear 18 towards... The front side of the operating table 1 is moved, causing the short gear 18 to drive the toothed plate 6 to move towards the front of the operating table 1. At the same time, the spring 15 is compressed, causing the long gear 8 to mesh with the teeth on the toothed plate 6. At this time, the long gear 8 drives the toothed plate 6 to continue moving towards the front of the operating table 1. The toothed plate 6 moves the support rod 5 towards the outside of the receiving groove 4 through the support plate 2. The support rod 5 moves the bearing plate 13 towards the outside of the receiving groove 4, causing the bearing plate 13 to separate from the negative electrode sheet. The negative electrode sheet detaches from the bottom of the pressing groove. After the electrode sheet leaves the pressing groove, the pressing block 10 will rise to the initial position. After positioning and stopping, the toothed plate 7 separates from the long gear 8, and the spring 15, which is in a compressed state, resets. When the spring 15 resets, it moves the toothed plate 6 towards the rear of the operating table 1 via the slider 16. The toothed plate 6 drives the support plate 2 to move towards the rear of the operating table 1. The support plate 2 drives the support rod 5 to push the bearing plate 13 back into the pressing groove 12. When the bearing plate 13 returns to the pressing groove 12, the long gear 8 separates from the gear on the toothed plate 6 and re-meets with the short gear 18 in the through groove 19, thus completing the automatic opening and closing of the bearing plate 13 when pressing the negative electrode sheet.

Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
