As the core component of lithium batteries, the quality of the battery cell's manufacturing process directly determines the overall performance of the battery. Winding is a crucial process in cell production; the winding machine precisely winds the positive electrode sheet, separator, and negative electrode sheet into the cell, and its stability and efficiency are paramount. Therefore, a quick-change device for the take-up rollers of a lithium battery cell winding machine is needed.

[0003] The existing technology has the following shortcomings: When winding lithium battery cells, the equipment must be completely stopped after each cell is wound. Subsequently, operators need to manually perform a series of operations, resulting in extremely low production efficiency. Frequent shutdowns and manual operations severely disrupt the rhythm of continuous production, and the overall utilization rate of the equipment is low, becoming a major obstacle to improving the overall production capacity. At the same time, each winding station requires operators to perform repeated feeding, preparation, and loading operations, which not only increases labor intensity but also increases labor costs. Furthermore, manual re-threading of the guide tape and placement of the initial tooling are prone to introducing operational errors, resulting in inconsistencies in key parameters such as initial tension and alignment of each cell winding, thus creating potential quality hazards.

[0015] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0016] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown in this embodiment, a quick-change device for the take-up roller of a lithium battery cell winding machine includes a rotating disk. A fixed column 2 is installed on the side wall of the rotating disk 1 for mounting the rotating disk 1. The fixed column 2 is rotatably connected to the winding machine. A drive assembly is provided on the side wall of the rotating disk 1 for replacing the take-up roller body 8. An auxiliary assembly is provided on one side of the rotating disk 1 to assist in replacing the take-up roller body 8. The drive assembly includes a first gear 3, a first motor 4, and two sets of second motors 6. The first gear 3 is sleeved and installed outside the fixed column 2 for transmitting the rotation of the first gear 3. The first motor 4 is installed on one side of the fixed column 2 for driving the second gear 5 to rotate. The output end of the first motor 4 is equipped with the second gear 5. The two sets of second motors 6 are symmetrically installed on the side wall of the rotating disk 1 by bolts. A transmission rod 7 is installed at the output end of the second motor 6 for limiting the position of the take-up roller body 8. The take-up roller body 8 is sleeved and installed outside the transmission rod 7 for winding the lithium battery cell. The first gear 3 meshes with the second gear 5 for transmission. The first motor 4 is connected to the winding machine. Both the transmission rod 7 and the take-up roller body 8 have through holes 9 on their surfaces. A negative pressure pump 10 is installed on the side wall of the transmission rod 7 for adsorbing and fixing the ends of the lithium battery cells. The second motor 6 drives the transmission rod 7 to rotate, which in turn drives the take-up roller body 8 to rotate, thus winding the lithium battery cells. After winding a set of cells, the corresponding second motor 6 stops operating, and the first motor 4 starts. The first motor 4 drives... The second gear 5 rotates, which in turn drives the first gear 3 to rotate. The first gear 3 then drives the fixed column 2 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating disk 1 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating disk 1 causes the battery cell that has been wound at the top to rotate to the bottom, and the new take-up roller body 8 at the bottom to rotate to the top, thus completing the quick replacement of the take-up roller body 8. After the battery cell is cut, the negative pressure pump 10 creates a negative pressure at the through hole 9, which can attract the battery cell and make it adhere to the surface of the take-up roller body 8, which is beneficial for the subsequent winding of the battery cell.

[0017] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the auxiliary component includes a fixing frame 11, which is bolted to the side wall of the first motor 4. A micro motor 12 is bolted to the top of the fixing frame 11 to drive the first lead screw 13 to rotate. The output end of the micro motor 12 is fitted with the first lead screw 13. A first lead screw nut 14 is sleeved on the outside of the first lead screw 13. A mounting frame 15 is mounted on the side wall of the first lead screw nut 14. An auxiliary roller 16 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the mounting frame 15 to limit the battery cells wound on the outside of the take-up roller body 8. The fixing frame 11 has a U-shaped cross-section. The first lead screw nut 14 slides against the inner wall of the fixing frame 11. The auxiliary roller 16 is positioned above the take-up roller body 8. During the winding of the battery cell, the micro motor 12 drives the first lead screw 13 to rotate slowly clockwise. The rotation of the first lead screw 13 drives the first lead screw nut 14 to move upward. The movement of the first lead screw nut 14 drives the mounting frame 15 to move. The movement of the mounting frame 15 drives the auxiliary roller 16 to move, which can synchronously limit and press the battery cell wound on the outside of the take-up roller body 8. After the replacement of the take-up roller body 8 is completed, the micro motor 12 drives the auxiliary roller 16 to move downward and reset, re-fitting with the take-up roller body 8 to press and solidify the end of the battery cell, assisting in the replacement of the take-up roller body 8 and ensuring the continuous operation of winding.

[0018] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the auxiliary assembly also includes two sets of stabilizing frames 17, which are symmetrically arranged on one side of the rotating disk 1. The stabilizing frames 17 are connected to the winding machine. A second lead screw 18 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the stabilizing frame 17. A limit block is provided at the end of the second lead screw 18. A synchronous transmission wheel 19 is sleeved on the outside of the second lead screw 18. A synchronous transmission belt 20 is sleeved on the outside of the synchronous transmission wheel 19 for transmitting the rotation of the second lead screw 18. A second lead screw nut 21 is sleeved on the outside of the second lead screw 18. A cutting blade 22 is provided on the side wall of the second lead screw nut 21 for cutting the battery cell. A pusher plate 23 is provided on the side wall of the second lead screw nut 21 for unloading the battery cell after winding. The stabilizing frame 17 has an L-shaped cross-section. The second lead screw 18... Driven and controlled by a drive motor, the second lead screw nut 21 is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the stabilizing frame 17. The drive motor, micro motor 12, negative pressure pump 10, first motor 4, and second motor 6 are all connected to the controller. The two sets of second lead screws 18 have different surface pitches. After replacing the main body 8 of the take-up roller, the drive motor drives the second lead screw 18 to rotate clockwise. Under the transmission of the synchronous transmission wheel 19 and synchronous transmission belt 20, the rotation of the second lead screw 18 drives the other set of second lead screws 18 to rotate. The rotation of the second lead screw 18 drives the second lead screw nut 21 to move backward. The movement of the second lead screw nut 21 drives the cutting blade 22 and the pusher plate 23 to move. The movement of the cutting blade 22 can cut the battery cell, and the movement of the pusher plate 23 can unload the battery cell, assisting in the rapid replacement of the main body 8 of the take-up roller, reducing labor costs and alleviating the labor intensity of the workers.
