Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features. In the description of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0029] See Figure 1 An electrode production apparatus includes a frame 200 and a roller mounting structure 100. The roller mounting structure 100 is connected to the frame 200 and is used to support and transport workpieces (electrode belts), so that the workpieces pass through the processing mechanism of the electrode production apparatus and are processed to form electrodes.

[0030] See Figures 2 to 6The idler roller mounting structure 100 includes a first mounting plate 1, a second mounting plate 2, and an idler roller 3. The second mounting plate 2 is spaced apart from the first mounting plate 1. The first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2 are fixedly connected to both sides of the frame 200, respectively. The two ends of the idler roller 3 are connected to the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2, respectively, and the middle part of the idler roller 3 is located on the conveying path of the workpiece to support the workpiece.

[0031] The first mounting plate 1 is fixed to the frame 200 by screws. The first mounting plate 1 is provided with mounting holes 11 for mounting rollers 3. The mounting holes 11 are located near the top surface of the first mounting plate 1, and the axial direction of the mounting holes 11 extends along the width direction of the first mounting plate 1.

[0032] The second mounting plate 2 is fixed to the frame 200 by screws. The second mounting plate 2 is provided with a mounting groove 21 with one end open. The position of the mounting groove 21 corresponds to the position of the mounting hole 11, so that the two ends of the roller 3 can be installed in the mounting hole 11 and the mounting groove 21 respectively.

[0033] The mounting groove 21 is located on the top surface of the second mounting plate 2, meaning the opening of the mounting groove 21 is located on the top surface of the second mounting plate 2. The bottom of the mounting groove 21 has a guide mating surface 22, which mates with the guide surface 3315 on the idler roller 3 to support the idler roller 3. The mounting groove 21 has vertically arranged side walls between the guide mating surface 22 and the top surface of the second mounting plate 2, which restrict the left-right movement of the idler roller 3.

[0034] exist Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, the guide mating surface 22 is an arc-shaped surface, and its two ends are connected to the two side walls respectively, forming a "U" shape. It should be noted that the guide mating surface 22 can also be an inclined surface or a combination of an arc-shaped surface and an inclined surface.

[0035] The second mounting plate 2 is also provided with a first screw hole 23 below the mounting groove 21. The first screw hole 23 is used to connect with the screw of the fixed roller 3.

[0036] The idler roller 3 includes a connecting shaft 31, a rotating roller 32, and a locking member 33. One end of the connecting shaft 31 is detachably inserted into the mounting hole 11, and the other end is installed in the mounting groove 21. The locking member 33 is connected to the connecting shaft 31 and detachably connected to the second mounting plate 2 to lock the connecting shaft 31 onto the second mounting plate 2, preventing the connecting shaft 31 from moving relative to the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2. The rotating roller 32 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 31 and is located between the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2. The rotating roller 32 is used to support the electrode tab belt.

[0037] The connecting shaft 31 is clearance-fitted with the mounting hole 11, allowing the connecting shaft 31 to be inserted into the mounting hole 11 axially. Furthermore, when disassembling or assembling the idler roller 3, the operator can remove the connecting structure between the locking member 33 and the second mounting plate 2 by standing near the second mounting plate 2, thus removing the idler roller 3 from the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2. This makes disassembly and assembly more convenient and reduces the operating space required for the operator.

[0038] The locking component 33 includes a insert 331, a first fastening screw 332, and a second fastening screw 333. The insert 331 has a mounting hole 3313. One end of the connecting shaft 31, away from the first mounting plate 1, passes through the mounting hole 3313, and the connecting shaft 31 is axially movable along the mounting hole 3313. Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the mounting hole 3313 is a threaded hole, and the connecting shaft 31 is threadedly connected to the mounting hole 3313. This allows the threaded engagement position between the mounting hole 3313 and the connecting shaft 31 to be changed when the connecting shaft 31 is rotated, thereby adjusting the position of the idler roller 3 on the connecting shaft 31 in the axial direction. It should be noted that the connecting shaft 31 and the mounting hole 3313 can also be slidably connected, and the position of the idler roller 3 in the axial direction can be adjusted by pushing the connecting shaft 31 to move along its axial direction.

[0039] The second fastening screw 333 is disposed on the insert 331 and connected to the connecting shaft 31 to lock the connecting shaft 31 onto the insert 331. The end of the insert 331 away from the connecting shaft 31 is detachably connected to the second mounting plate 2 by the first fastening screw 332, thereby locking the connecting shaft 31 onto the second mounting plate 2.

[0040] See Figure 7 The insert 331 includes a connected support portion 3311 and a connecting portion 3312. The end of the support portion 3311 away from the connecting portion 3312 extends along the axial direction of the connecting shaft 31, and the end of the connecting portion 3312 away from the support portion 3311 extends along the radial direction of the connecting shaft 31, so that the insert 331 forms an L-shaped structure. The support portion 3311 is fitted into the mounting groove 21, and the mounting hole 3313 is provided in the support portion 3311, that is, the connecting shaft 31 is connected to the support portion 3311, so that the second mounting plate 2 supports the connecting shaft 31 through the support portion 3311.

[0041] The support part 3311 is provided with a third screw hole 3314, which is connected to the assembly hole 3313. The second fastening screw 333 is threaded in the third screw hole 3314, and one end of the second fastening screw 333 abuts against the connecting shaft 31 to lock the connecting shaft 31.

[0042] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the support portion 3311 has an internal thread on the inner wall surface of the mounting hole 3313. The connecting shaft 31 has an external thread that mates with the internal thread. After the connecting shaft 31 is connected to the insert 331, the external thread is located on the side of the third screw hole 3314 near the first mounting plate 1, preventing the second fastening screw 333 from abutting against the external thread of the connecting shaft 31 and causing damage to the external thread.

[0043] The cross-section of the support part 3311 is the same as the cross-section of the mounting groove 21, and the support part 3311 is fitted to the mounting groove 21. That is, after the support part 3311 is installed in the mounting groove 21, the bottom of the support part 3311 is in contact with the bottom surface of the mounting groove 21, and the two sides of the support part 3311 are in contact with the two side walls of the mounting groove 21 respectively.

[0044] In one embodiment, the bottom of the support portion 3311 is provided with a guide surface 3315, such that the width of the bottom of the support portion 3311 is smaller than the opening width of the mounting groove 21, and the guide surface 3315 is fitted with the guide mating surface 22. After the support portion 3311 is installed in the mounting groove 21, the guide surface 3315 fits against the guide mating surface 22, and both sides of the support portion 3311 fit against the side walls of the mounting groove 21. When the support portion 3311 is installed in the mounting groove 21, the guide surface 3315 of the support portion 3311 enters the mounting groove 21 first, making installation more convenient.

[0045] The end of the connecting portion 3312 away from the support portion 3311 extends to the side of the second mounting plate 2, and the connecting portion 3312 is provided with a second screw hole 3316. The first fastening screw 332 passes through the second screw hole 3316 of the connecting portion 3312 and connects with the first screw hole 23 on the second mounting plate 2, thereby realizing the fixed connection between the insert 331 and the second mounting plate 2. Figure 2 In the embodiment shown, the first fastening screw 332 is connected to the side of the second mounting plate 2 away from the opening of the mounting groove 21, so that the second mounting plate 2 has more space to install the first fastening screw 332, thereby making the overall structure more compact.

[0046] Preferably, there is only one first fastening screw 332, which reduces the number of first fastening screws 332 that need to be removed and installed when replacing the idler roller 3, thus making the removal and installation of the idler roller 3 more convenient. It should be noted that multiple first fastening screws 332 may also be provided.

[0047] When the insert 331 is installed on the second mounting plate 2, the support part 3311 is first installed from top to bottom into the mounting groove 21. Then, the insert 331 is pushed to move axially along the connecting shaft 31, so that the connecting part 3312 fits against the side of the second mounting plate 2, thereby achieving the positioning of the insert 331. After the first fastening screw 332 connects the insert 331 and the second mounting plate 2, the connecting shaft 31 is fixed to the second mounting plate 2 by the insert 331.

[0048] The connecting part 3312 is located on the side of the second mounting plate 2 away from the first mounting plate 1, so that when the connecting shaft 31 is inserted into the mounting hole 11, the connecting part 3312 of the insert 331 moves towards the second mounting plate 2 at the same time, thereby making the installation of the idler roller 3 more convenient.

[0049] The idler roller 3 also includes a handwheel 34, which is located at the end of the connecting shaft 31 away from the first mounting plate 1. The handwheel 34 is used by the operator to rotate the connecting shaft 31, thereby adjusting the axial position of the connecting shaft 31, and the adjustment is convenient.

[0050] The rotating roller 32 is provided with a limiting protrusion 321 for limiting the electrode tabs. Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, multiple limiting protrusions 321 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the idler roller 3, and the gap between two adjacent limiting protrusions 321 is the same as the width of the workpiece, thereby achieving workpiece limiting. When the tab production device simultaneously transports multiple workpieces, the multiple workpieces can be spaced apart along the axial direction of the idler roller 3, and the multiple gaps formed by the multiple workpieces and the multiple limiting protrusions 321 are arranged one-to-one.

[0051] The idler roller mounting structure 100 of this application includes a first mounting plate 1, a second mounting plate 2, and an idler roller 3. The first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2 are spaced apart and both are used to connect to the frame 200 to support the idler roller 3. The first mounting plate 1 has mounting holes 11, and the second mounting plate 2 has a mounting groove 21 with one open end, the position of which corresponds to the position of the mounting holes 11. The idler roller 3 includes a connecting shaft 31 and a locking member 33. When installing the idler roller 3, one end of the connecting shaft 31 along its length is first inserted into the mounting hole 11, and the other end is placed into the mounting groove 21 from the opening. Then, the locking member 33 is operated to lock the end of the connecting shaft 31 near the mounting groove 21 onto the second mounting plate 2, thus realizing the installation of the idler roller 3. This installation is more convenient and faster, reducing the labor intensity when replacing the idler roller 3 and improving work efficiency. Moreover, when disassembling and assembling the idler roller 3, the operator can operate from the side where the locking member 33 is located, reducing the operating space required for the operator.

[0052] Although the present invention has been described with reference to several typical embodiments, it should be understood that the terminology used is descriptive and exemplary, and not restrictive. Since the present invention can be embodied in many forms without departing from the spirit or essence of the invention, it should be understood that the above embodiments are not limited to any of the foregoing details, but should be interpreted broadly within the spirit and scope defined by the appended claims. Therefore, all variations and modifications falling within the scope of the claims or their equivalents should be covered by the appended claims.
