Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery production equipment technology, specifically to a device for placing the electrode tab in the middle. Background Technology
[0002] Against the backdrop of continuous advancements in battery technology, market demands for battery performance are becoming increasingly stringent, particularly for faster charging speeds and smaller battery sizes. In response to this trend, multi-tab technology has emerged and is gradually becoming a focus of industry attention. Multi-tab centering refers to the placement of multiple tab slots at intervals along the length of the electrode, with the tabs fixed in these slots by welding or embedding. Because multi-tab centering positions the tabs at the center of the electrode, it significantly shortens the current conduction path, substantially reducing the battery's internal resistance and effectively improving its rate performance, ensuring good performance even under high-current charging and discharging.
[0003] In the current production of multi-tab electrode plates, the tab slots are typically cut into the electrode plates using a laser cutting machine. However, existing laser cutting machines exhibit several drawbacks during the cutting process. Firstly, the cutting process generates metallic dust, which can easily damage the respiratory tract of operators, threatening their health. Secondly, laser cutting consumes a large amount of energy, increasing production costs. Thirdly, laser cutting equipment requires a substantial investment, has a complex structure, and incurs relatively high maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0046] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure, and technical effects of this utility model in conjunction with embodiments and accompanying drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features, and effects of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this utility model. Furthermore, all connections / linkages involved in the patent do not simply refer to direct contact between components, but rather to the ability to form a better connection structure by adding or reducing connecting accessories according to specific implementation conditions. The various technical features in this utility model can be combined interactively without contradicting each other.
[0047] Reference Figure 1 An example of this utility model provides a tab placement device, including a conveying mechanism 1, a scraping and suction mechanism 2, a liquid supply mechanism 3, and a waste liquid recovery mechanism 4. The conveying mechanism 1 is used to support and convey the electrode sheet, the scraping and suction mechanism 2 is used to scrape up and suck away the slurry on the surface of the electrode sheet, the liquid supply mechanism 3 is used to provide diluent to the scraping and suction mechanism 2 and dilute the scraped slurry to form a mixed waste liquid, and the waste liquid recovery mechanism 4 is used to recover the diluted mixed waste liquid.
[0048] Reference Figure 2 Structurally, the conveying mechanism 1 includes a first support 11, a coating back roller 12 and a guide roller 13 rotatably connected to the first support 11, and a first driving member 14 for driving the coating back roller 12 to rotate. The coating back roller 12 and the guide roller 13 are arranged in parallel, and the guide roller 13 is located at the rear oblique upper part of the coating back roller 12. The electrode sheet is wound around the roller surface of the coating back roller 12 and the guide roller 13.
[0049] Reference Figures 2 to 5 The scraping and suction mechanism 2 includes a second bracket 21, a plurality of scraping and suction components 22 disposed on the second bracket 21, and a negative pressure component 23 connecting the plurality of scraping and suction components 22. The second bracket 21 is disposed on the first bracket 11, and the plurality of scraping and suction components 22 are located above the coating back roller 12. The scraping and suction component 22 includes a first mounting plate 221, a scraping and suction head 222 movably connected to the first mounting plate 221, and a second driving member 223 for driving the scraping and suction head 222 to move up and down. The scraping and suction head 222 has an inner cavity, and the negative pressure component 23 is used to provide negative pressure to the plurality of scraping and suction heads 222.
[0050] The liquid supply mechanism 3 includes a diluent box 31, a pump set 32, and several liquid supply pipes 33. The diluent box 31 contains diluent, which may include, but is not limited to, pure water, alcohol, NMP, etc. Several scraper heads 222 are connected to the diluent box 31 through several liquid supply pipes 33. The pump set 32 pumps the diluent in the diluent box 31 to several scraper heads 222 through several liquid supply pipes 33.
[0051] Furthermore, the waste liquid recycling mechanism 4 includes a buffer tank 41 and several recycling pipes 42. The negative pressure component 23 is connected to the buffer tank 41 through the negative pressure pipe 232, and several scraper heads 222 are respectively connected to the buffer tank 41 through several recycling pipes 42.
[0052] During production, the first drive unit 14 drives the coating back roller 12 to rotate, and the coating back roller 12 drives the electrode sheet to be conveyed. Several second drive units 223 respectively drive several scraper heads 222 to descend and contact the surface of the electrode sheet coated with slurry. The scraper heads 222 scrape up the slurry on the surface of the electrode sheet. Under the action of the negative pressure component 23, the scraped slurry is sucked into the inner cavity of the scraper head 222. Then, several second drive units 223 respectively drive several scraper heads 222 to rise, and repeat the above actions continuously according to product requirements. This causes the second drive units 223 to intermittently drive the scraper heads 222 to scrape up the slurry on the surface of the electrode sheet, so that multiple electrode tab slots are formed in the middle position of the electrode sheet. Thus, the electrode tab center placement process of multiple strips can be realized at the same time. Compared with the conventional laser cutting process, it can significantly reduce the manufacturing cost, energy consumption cost and subsequent maintenance cost of the equipment. Moreover, it can also avoid the damage to the human body caused by the metal dust generated during laser cutting.
[0053] Meanwhile, the pump unit 32 pumps the diluent in the diluent box 31 to several scraper heads 222 through several supply pipes 33, so that the slurry in the inner cavity of the scraper head 222 mixes with the diluent to form mixed waste liquid, thus preventing the slurry from drying and clogging in the scraper head 222 or pipes. Under the action of the negative pressure component 23, a negative pressure is formed in the negative pressure pipe 232, the buffer tank 41 and the recovery pipe 42, and the mixed waste liquid in the inner cavity of the scraper head 222 is sucked into the buffer tank 41 through the recovery pipe 42, thereby realizing the recovery and buffering of the mixed waste liquid.
[0054] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some preferred embodiments, the scraper head 222 includes a blade holder 2221, a scraper 2222, and a pressure cap 2223. The blade holder 2221 is provided with a first groove for accommodating the scraper 2222. The pressure cap 2223 is used to press the scraper 2222 onto the blade holder 2221, thereby facilitating the replacement of the scraper 2222.
[0055] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9Furthermore, a feeding channel 2224 is provided between the scraper 2222 and the blade holder 2221. The cross-section of the feeding channel 2224 is slit-shaped. A first liquid inlet channel 2225 is provided inside the pressure cap 2223, and a liquid outlet channel 2226 is provided inside the blade holder 2221. The feeding channel 2224 is connected to the first liquid inlet channel 2225 and the liquid outlet channel 2226 respectively. The liquid supply pipe 33 is connected to the pressure cap 2223 and is connected to the first liquid inlet channel 2225. The recovery pipe 42 is connected to the blade holder 2221 and is connected to the liquid outlet channel 2226. The scraped slurry is sucked into the feeding channel 2224. The diluent enters the feeding channel 2224 through the first liquid inlet channel 2225 and mixes with the slurry to form mixed waste. Under the action of negative pressure, the mixed waste enters the recovery pipe 42 through the liquid outlet channel 2226 and is discharged into the buffer tank 41 through the recovery pipe 42.
[0056] Furthermore, a second groove is provided on one side of the pressure cap 2223, and a cover plate 2227 is installed in the second groove. A second liquid inlet channel 2228 is formed between the cover plate 2227 and the second groove. The second liquid inlet channel 2228 is connected to the first liquid inlet channel 2225 and the feed channel 2224 respectively. The cross-section of the second liquid inlet channel 2228 is slit-shaped.
[0057] It is understandable that by setting the cover plate 2227, it is convenient to process the second liquid inlet channel 2228 into a slit-shaped cross-section. Moreover, by setting the second liquid inlet channel 2228 into a slit-shaped channel, it is possible to ensure that the diluent is sprayed along the length direction of the scraper 2222, ensuring that the diluent can be uniformly mixed with the slurry. At the same time, the diluent sprayed uniformly along the length direction of the scraper 2222 can also form a liquid seal effect, preventing the mixed waste liquid from flowing back out of the feed channel 2224.
[0058] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some preferred embodiments, the second driving component 223 includes a cylinder 2231 and a driving connecting block 2232 disposed at the telescopic end of the cylinder 2231. The driving connecting block 2232 is connected to the knife holder 2221. The cylinder 2231 is mounted on the first mounting plate 221 via the cylinder holder 2233. The first mounting plate 221 is provided with a first guide rail 2234, which is vertically arranged. The driving connecting block 2232 is provided with a first slider 2235, which is slidably connected to the first guide rail 2234. The structure driven by the cylinder 2231 is simple, and the manufacturing cost of the equipment is low. The cylinder 2231 telescopically drives the scraper head 222 to move along the length direction of the first guide rail 2234, thereby improving the stability of the scraper head 222 when it is raised and lowered, and ensuring the moving accuracy of the scraper head 222.
[0059] Specifically, the scraping and suction mechanism 2 also includes a solenoid valve group and several air pipes connected to the solenoid valve group. The solenoid valve group includes a second mounting plate and several fast solenoid valves set on the second mounting plate. The fast solenoid valves are connected to an air inlet adapter and several exhaust adapters. The air inlet adapter is used to connect to a pressurized air source pipeline, and the exhaust adapter is used to connect to an air pipe. The other end of the air pipe is connected to a cylinder 2231. Thus, the fast solenoid valve can accurately control the extension and retraction of the cylinder 2231, so that the cylinder 2231 drives the scraping and suction head 222 to achieve up and down reciprocating motion.
[0060] In some preferred embodiments, a left-right angle adjustment component 224 and a front-back angle adjustment component 225 are provided between the drive connecting block 2232 and the blade holder 2221. The left-right angle adjustment component 224 is used to adjust the angle of the scraper head 222 swinging left and right, and the front-back angle adjustment component 225 is used to adjust the angle of the scraper head 222 swinging back and forth. Thus, the blade of the scraper head 2222 can be flush with the surface of the electrode sheet, thereby improving the quality of the electrode tab slot in the electrode sheet.
[0061] It should be noted that the electrode is conveyed in the front-to-back direction, and the width of the electrode is in the left-to-right direction.
[0062] Specifically, the front and rear angle adjustment assembly 225 includes a front and rear adjustment mounting base 2251 and two set screws 2252. The bottom of the front and rear adjustment mounting base 2251 is provided with two first mounting ears 2253, and the top of the knife holder 2221 is provided with a second mounting ear 22211. The top of the second mounting ear 22211 is provided with a swing arm 22212. The second mounting ear 22211 is located between the two first mounting ears 2253. The two first mounting ears 2253 and the second mounting ear 22211 are rotatably connected by a first pin 2254. Front and rear adjustment limit blocks 2255 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the front and rear adjustment mounting base 2251. The two set screws 2252 are threaded onto the two front and rear adjustment limit blocks 2255 respectively, and the ends of the two set screws 2252 abut against the front and rear sides of the swing arm 22212 respectively.
[0063] Understandably, by screwing in one set screw 2252 and out the other set screw 2252 by the same distance, the set screw 2252 pushes the swing arm 22212 to swing around the first pin 2254, thereby causing the scraper head 222 to swing around the first pin 2254 at a certain angle, thus enabling precise adjustment of the front and rear angles of the scraper head 222.
[0064] To make the range of front and rear angle adjustment more intuitive, a first pointer is provided on one side of the front and rear adjustment mounting base 2251, and a first angle scale is provided on one side of the tool holder 2221. The first pointer points to the scale on the first angle scale.
[0065] Furthermore, the left and right angle adjustment component 224 includes a left and right adjustment mounting base 2241 and two micro heads 2242. The left and right adjustment mounting base 2241 is connected to the drive connecting block 2232. The bottom of the left and right adjustment mounting base 2241 is provided with two third mounting ears 2243. The front and rear adjustment mounting base 2251 is located between the two third mounting ears 2243. The two third mounting ears 2243 and the front and rear adjustment mounting base 2251 are rotatably connected by a second pin 2244. The left and right sides of the left and right adjustment mounting base 2241 are provided with first bosses 2245, and the left and right sides of the front and rear adjustment mounting base 2251 are provided with second bosses 2256. The two micro heads 2242 are respectively connected to the two first bosses 2245, and the ends of the two micro heads 2242 abut against the tops of the two second bosses 2256.
[0066] It is understandable that by turning one of the micro heads 2242 in the forward direction and the other micro head 2242 in the reverse direction, the end of the micro head 2242 pushes the front and rear adjustment mounting base 2251 to swing around the second pin 2244, thereby causing the scraper head 222 to swing around the second pin 2244 at a certain angle, thus enabling precise adjustment of the left and right angle of the scraper head 222.
[0067] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some preferred embodiments, the first support 11 includes two wall panels 111 and two support plates 112, with the two support plates 112 respectively disposed on the top of the two wall panels 111. The two ends of the coating back roller 12 and the passing roller 13 are rotatably connected to the two wall panels 111 respectively. The second support 21 includes two upright plates 211 and a crossbeam 212 connecting the two upright plates 211. The two upright plates 211 are respectively disposed on the top of the two support plates 112. A plurality of scraping and suction components 22 are disposed on the crossbeam 212. A first lateral adjustment component 24 is disposed between the first support 11 and the second support 21.
[0068] Specifically, the first lateral adjustment assembly 24 includes a first support 241, a first screw 242 rotatably connected to the first support 241, and a first connecting block 243 threadedly connected to the first screw 242. The first support 241 is mounted on the support plate 112, and the first connecting block 243 is fixedly connected to one of the upright plates 211. One end of the first screw 242 is provided with a first knob head 244. A second guide rail 245 is provided on the support plate 112. The length direction of the second guide rail 245 extends along the length direction of the crossbeam 212. A second slider 246 is provided at the bottom of the upright plate 211, and the second slider 246 is slidably connected to the second guide rail 245.
[0069] It is understandable that by rotating the first knob head 244, the first screw 242 is rotated, the first screw 242 drives the first connecting block 243 to move horizontally, and then drives the second bracket 21 to move along the length direction of the second guide rail 245. The second bracket 21 drives the several scraping and suction components 22 to move horizontally, thereby enabling precise adjustment of the position of the several scraping and suction components 22, making it easy to adjust the several scraping and suction components 22 to the middle position of the electrode.
[0070] Furthermore, limit blocks are provided at both ends of the second guide rail 245 to block the second slider 246, thereby preventing the second slider 246 from disengaging from the second guide rail 245.
[0071] In some preferred embodiments, the end of the crossbeam 212 is rotatably connected to the upright plate 211 via a third pin 213 and fixed by bolts 214. The upright plate 211 is provided with an arc-shaped waist groove 215. The bolts 214 pass through the arc-shaped waist groove 215 and are connected to the end of the crossbeam 212. The arc-shaped trajectory of the arc-shaped waist groove 215 is set with the axis of the third pin 213 as the center.
[0072] Understandably, when adjusting the angle of the crossbeam 212, the bolt 214 is first loosened, the third pin 213 is used as the center of rotation, and then an external force is applied to make the crossbeam 212 rotate around the third pin 213. At the same time, the bolt 214 moves along an arc-shaped trajectory in the arc-shaped groove 215. Finally, the bolt 214 is tightened again, thereby fixing the crossbeam 212 at different angle positions, and thus causing several scraping and suction components 22 on the crossbeam 212 to swing at a certain angle simultaneously.
[0073] Furthermore, two arc-shaped waist-shaped grooves 215 are provided on the upright plate 211. The two arc-shaped waist-shaped grooves 215 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The arc trajectory of the two arc-shaped waist-shaped grooves 215 is set with the axis of the third pin 213 as the center, thereby increasing the stability of the connection between the upright plate 211 and the crossbeam 212.
[0074] Furthermore, a second pointer is provided at one bottom end of the crossbeam 212, and a second angle scale plate is provided on the inner side of the vertical plate 211. The second pointer points to the scale on the second angle scale plate, thereby enabling a more intuitive display of the swing angle of the crossbeam 212.
[0075] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6In some preferred embodiments, a second lateral adjustment component 25 is provided between the crossbeam 212 and the scraping and suction component 22. The number of second lateral adjustment components 25 is multiple, and the number of second lateral adjustment components 25 corresponds to the number of scraping and suction components 22. Specifically, the second lateral adjustment component 25 includes a second support 251, a second screw 252 rotatably connected to the second support 251, and a second connecting block 253 threadedly connected to the second screw 252. The second support 251 is disposed on the crossbeam 212, the second connecting block 253 is fixedly connected to the first mounting plate 221, one end of the second screw 252 is provided with a second knob head 254, a third guide rail 255 is disposed on the crossbeam 212, the length direction of the third guide rail 255 extends along the length direction of the crossbeam 212, and a third slider 256 is connected to the first mounting plate 221, the third slider 256 being slidably connected to the third guide rail 255.
[0076] Understandably, by rotating the second knob head 254, the second screw 252 is rotated, and the second screw 252 drives the second connecting block 253 to move horizontally, thereby driving the scraping and suction assembly 22 to move along the length direction of the third guide rail 255. Thus, the position of each scraping and suction assembly 22 can be precisely and individually adjusted.
[0077] Furthermore, a linear horizontal movement scale is provided on one side of the crossbeam 212, thereby enabling a more intuitive display of the specific position of each scraping and suction component 22.
[0078] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 10 In some preferred embodiments, the pump set 32 includes a mounting box 321 and a plurality of peristaltic pumps 322 disposed on the mounting box 321. A plurality of quick-connect pipe connectors 311 are disposed on one side of the diluent box 31. The supply pipe 33 includes a first diluent pipe 331 and a second diluent pipe 332. The two ends of the first diluent pipe 331 are respectively connected to the quick-connect pipe connectors 311 and the feed end of the peristaltic pumps 322. The two ends of the second diluent pipe 332 are respectively connected to the discharge end of the peristaltic pumps 322 and the scraper head 222.
[0079] Furthermore, the top of the diluent container 31 is provided with an injection port 312, through which the operator adds diluent.
[0080] Furthermore, a first liquid level tube 313 is connected to one side of the diluent box 31. The first liquid level tube 313 is a transparent tube, which makes it easy for the operator to observe the liquid level in the diluent box 31.
[0081] Furthermore, a buzzer 314 is provided on one side of the diluent container 31, and a liquid level sensor 315 is provided on the top of the diluent container 31. The liquid level sensor 315 is electrically connected to the buzzer 314. The liquid level sensor 315 can monitor the liquid level in the diluent container 31 in real time. When the liquid level in the diluent container 31 is lower than the set value, the liquid level sensor 315 transmits a signal to the buzzer 314, and the buzzer 314 sounds an alarm to remind the operator to add diluent in time.
[0082] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 11 In some preferred embodiments, the negative pressure assembly 23 includes a vacuum generator 231, a negative pressure gauge 233 disposed on the vacuum generator 231, a silencer 234, and a quick-connect pipe connector 235. The quick-connect pipe connector 235 is used to connect to a positive pressure air source pipe. One end of the negative pressure pipe 232 is connected to the buffer tank 41 through a first pagoda connector 236, and the other end of the negative pressure pipe 232 is connected to the vacuum generator 231 through a second pagoda connector 237.
[0083] It is understandable that a positive pressure gas source is introduced into the positive pressure gas source pipe, and the positive pressure gas source passes through the cavity of the vacuum generator 231 and is discharged from the silencer 234. When the positive pressure gas source is quickly discharged from the cavity by the vacuum generator 231 using the Venturi principle, the cavity of the vacuum generator 231 generates a negative pressure, and a positive pressure is generated at the silencer 234. Since the cavity of the vacuum generator 231 is connected to the buffer tank 41 through the negative pressure pipe 232, and the buffer tank 41 is connected to the scraper head 222 through the recovery pipe 42, a negative pressure is formed inside the negative pressure pipe 232, the buffer tank 41, the recovery pipe 42, and the scraper head 222, which facilitates the discharge of the mixed waste liquid.
[0084] Furthermore, the buffer tank 41 includes a tank body 411, a tank cover 412, and several pressure locks 413. The pressure locks 413 are used to lock the tank cover 412 to the top of the tank body 411, enabling the tank cover 412 to be opened or locked, facilitating the removal of the mixed waste liquid inside the tank body 411.
[0085] Furthermore, the buffer tank 41 is connected to a second liquid level pipe 414. One end of the second liquid level pipe 414 is connected to the tank cover 412, and the other end of the second liquid level pipe 414 is connected to the lower side of the tank body 411. The second liquid level pipe 414 is a transparent pipe, which makes it easy for operators to observe the liquid level in the buffer tank 41.

All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
