Figures 1-3As shown, the device includes a mounting frame 1, a drive unit 2, an upper die 13, and a lower die 11. The drive unit 2 is mounted on the mounting frame 1, and its output end is connected to the upper die 13. The lower die 11 is positioned opposite to the upper die 13 to punch the electrode sheet. Specifically, the drive unit 2 shown is a cylinder, and its output end is connected to the upper die 13 to drive the upper die 13 to move towards the lower die 11 to punch the electrode sheet, or to drive the upper die 13 away from the lower die 11 to unload the punched electrode sheet and load a new electrode sheet. Of course, in other embodiments, the drive unit 2 can be a lead screw, a motor, etc., as long as it can move the upper die 13, and there is no limitation here.

[0020] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , 4 As shown, the upper die 13 and the lower die 11 are matching chamfered square dies, and the notches cut on the electrode sheet are also square. Of course, in other embodiments, the shape of the die is not limited and can be circular, arc-shaped, etc., as long as the notches cut are relatively flat and not easy to crack. There are no restrictions here.

The limiting member 3 is located on the upper mounting plate 7 and has a through "⊥" shaped groove 4. The limiting plate 6 is located at the output end of the drive component 2 and engages with the "⊥" shaped groove 4, thereby connecting the upper mounting plate 7 to the output end of the drive component 2. The locking mounting sleeve 5 is fitted outside the output end of the drive component 2 and abuts against the top of the limiting member 3 to prevent the limiting plate 6 from detaching from the "⊥" shaped groove 4. The locking and locking of the locking sleeve 5 and the limiting member 3 can be achieved in a variety of ways.
