Significantly reducing charging time while ensuring safety and battery life is a crucial direction for the future development of lithium batteries.

In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0050] It should be noted that the material strip 200 etched by the laser etching apparatus in the following embodiments of this application is an example of an electrode 210, but it is not limited to an electrode 210, and can also be a metal foil, an optical film, etc.

[0051] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 According to a first aspect embodiment of the present application, a laser etching apparatus includes a transport assembly 100, a first laser head 310, and a second laser head 410. The transport assembly 100 includes a first roller 140 and a second roller 180, which are spaced apart. The first roller 140 is used to wind and support an electrode 210, and the second roller 180 is used to wind the electrode 210 that has been wound from the first roller 140 and to support the electrode 210.

[0052] The first laser head 310 is used to emit a first laser 311, which is used to etch a first sub-groove 221 on the electrode 210 supported by the first roller 140 (see reference). Figure 2 The second laser head 410 is located on the same side of the electrode 210 as the first laser head 310. The second laser head 410 is used to emit a second laser 411, which is used to etch a second sub-groove 222 on the electrode 210 supported by the second roller 180 (see reference). Figure 2 The second sub-groove 222 is used to connect with the first sub-groove 221 to form a complete groove 220.

[0053] The laser etching apparatus according to the embodiments of this application has at least the following beneficial effects: the first laser head 310 and the second laser head 410 successively process the first sub-groove 221 and the second sub-groove 222 on the electrode 210. After the second sub-groove 222 is connected with the first sub-groove 221, a complete groove 220 can be formed. When the electrode conveying speed is increased, the complete groove 220 can still be stably etched through the division of labor between the first laser head 310 and the second laser head 410, which is conducive to effectively improving the efficiency of etching the groove 220 on the electrode.

[0054] Specifically, the first laser head 310 typically includes a laser, a galvanometer, and a field lens. The second laser head 410 is similar.

[0055] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments of this application, N1 first laser heads 310 are provided, where N1 is an integer and N1≥2, and the N1 first laser heads 310 are arranged along the axial direction of the first roller 140 (refer to...). Figure 3 For example, the first roller 140 is arranged at intervals in the axial direction (front and back direction). N1 first laser heads 310 are used to etch N2 first sub-grooves 221 on the electrode 210 supported by the first roller 140, where N2 is an integer multiple of N1.

[0056] The number of second laser heads 410 is equal to that of the first laser heads 310, and N1 second laser heads 410 are arranged along the axial direction of the second roller 180 (refer to...). Figure 3 For example, the second roller 180 is arranged at intervals in the axial direction of the front and back direction. N1 second laser heads 410 are used to etch N2 second sub-grooves 222 on the electrode 210 supported by the second roller 180. The N2 second sub-grooves 222 are used to connect with the N2 first sub-grooves 221 in a one-to-one correspondence to form N2 complete grooves 220.

[0057] By setting up N1 first laser heads 310 and N1 second laser heads 410, the etching of N2 grooves 220 can be completed in one go, which helps to improve processing efficiency and meet the needs of mass production.

[0058] Specifically, N1 can take the value of 2, 3, 4 or other values, and N2 can take the value of 2, 3, 4, 5 or other values.

[0059] Reference Figure 3 In the improved version of the above embodiment, N1 takes the value of one of 2, 3 and 4.

[0060] When the number of the second laser head 410 and the first laser head 310 is 2, 3 or 4, the processing efficiency and equipment manufacturing cost can be balanced, and over-design can be avoided.

[0061] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, the laser etching apparatus further includes a first dust removal module 500, which includes a first dust cover 510 and a first dust extraction component 530. The first dust cover 510 is provided with a first receiving groove 511, which is used to receive at least a portion of the first roller 140, such that the portion of the electrode 210 supported by the first roller 140 is located within the first receiving groove 511.

[0062] The first dust cover 510 is also provided with a first light inlet 512, which is used to allow the first laser 311 to enter the first receiving groove 511. The first dust extraction component 530 is provided with a first channel 531, one end of which is connected to the first receiving groove 511, and the other end of which is connected to the first negative pressure air source.

[0063] By opening a first light-entry hole 512 on the first dust cover 510, when the part of the electrode 210 supported by the first roller 140 is located in the first receiving groove 511, the first laser 311 can also irradiate the electrode 210 to achieve etching of the first sub-groove 221.

[0064] The portion of electrode 210 supported by the first roller 140 is located within the first receiving groove 511. This confines the dust generated by laser etching within a small area to the first dust cover 510, reducing the probability of dust spreading into the environment. One end of the first channel 531 is connected to the first receiving groove 511, allowing for timely removal of dust from the first receiving groove 511, further reducing the probability of dust spilling into the environment and adhering to the electrode 210 and the first roller 140.

[0065] Specifically, the first negative pressure gas source can be generated by a vacuum pump or a jet-induced flow device.

[0066] It should be noted that, referring to Figure 4 The first dust removal module 500 typically also includes a third drive assembly 520, which drives the first dust cover 510 to move closer to or further away from the first roller 140. When the first dust cover 510 moves away from the first roller 140, it can pull the electrode 210 to wind around the first roller 140. When the first dust cover 510 moves closer to the first roller 140, the first dust cover 510 can operate normally.

[0067] Specifically, the third drive assembly 520 may be one of the following: a cylinder, a linear motor, a hydraulic cylinder, an electric cylinder, a motor-driven lead screw and nut mechanism, a motor-driven gear and rack mechanism, a motor-driven sprocket and chain mechanism, a motor-driven synchronous pulley and synchronous belt mechanism, and a motor-driven crank and slider mechanism. Preferably, the third drive assembly 520 is a cylinder.

[0068] Reference Figure 4 In the improved embodiment described above, the first inner surface 514 of the first receiving groove 511 includes a first arc surface 513, which is used to surround at least a portion of the first roller 140.

[0069] The first arc surface 513 is more compatible with the shape of the first roller 140. When the first arc surface 513 surrounds the first roller 140, the distance between the first arc surface 513 and the outer surface of the first roller 140 is smaller, and the probability of dust spilling into the environment from between the first arc surface 513 and the outer surface of the first roller 140 is lower, which helps to improve the dustproof effect.

[0070] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, the laser etching apparatus further includes a second dust removal module 600, which includes a second dust cover 610 and a second dust extraction component 630. The second dust cover 610 is provided with a second receiving groove 611, which is used to receive at least a portion of the second roller 180, such that the portion of the electrode 210 supported by the second roller 180 is located within the second receiving groove 611.

[0071] The second dust cover 610 is also provided with a second light inlet 612, which is used to allow the second laser 411 to enter the second receiving groove 611. The second dust extraction component 630 is provided with a second channel 631, one end of which is connected to the second receiving groove 611, and the other end of which is connected to the second negative pressure air source.

[0072] By opening a second light-entry hole 612 on the second dust cover 610, when the part of the electrode 210 supported by the second roller 180 is located in the second receiving groove 611, the second laser 411 can also irradiate the electrode 210 to achieve etching of the second sub-groove 222.

[0073] The portion of electrode 210 supported by the second roller 180 is located within the second receiving groove 611. This allows the dust generated during laser etching to be confined within a small area by the second dust cover 610, reducing the probability of dust spreading into the environment. One end of the second channel 631 is connected to the second receiving groove 611, thereby allowing for timely removal of dust from the second receiving groove 611, reducing the probability of dust spilling into the environment and adhering to the electrode 210 and the second roller 180.

[0074] Specifically, the second negative pressure gas source can be generated by a vacuum pump or a jet-induced flow device.

[0075] It should be noted that, referring to Figure 4 The second dust removal module 600 typically also includes a fourth drive assembly 620, which drives the second dust cover 610 toward or away from the second roller 180. When the second dust cover 610 moves away from the second roller 180, it can pull the electrode 210 around the second roller 180. When the second dust cover 610 moves toward the second roller 180, the second dust cover 610 can operate normally.

[0076] Specifically, the fourth drive assembly 620 may be one of the following: a cylinder, a linear motor, a hydraulic cylinder, an electric cylinder, a motor-driven lead screw and nut mechanism, a motor-driven gear and rack mechanism, a motor-driven sprocket and chain mechanism, a motor-driven synchronous pulley and synchronous belt mechanism, and a motor-driven crank and slider mechanism. Preferably, the fourth drive assembly 620 is a cylinder.

[0077] Reference Figure 4 In the improved embodiment described above, the second inner surface 614 of the second receiving groove 611 includes a second arc surface 613, which is used to surround at least a portion of the second roller 180.

[0078] The second arc surface 613 is more compatible with the shape of the second roller 180. When the second arc surface 613 surrounds the second roller 180, the gap between the second arc surface 613 and the outer surface of the second roller 180 is smaller, and the probability of dust spilling into the environment from between the second arc surface 613 and the outer surface of the second roller 180 is lower, which helps to improve the dustproof effect.

[0079] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments of this application, the conveying assembly 100 further includes a first tensioning roller 110, a first pressure roller 120, and a first drive member 130. The first tensioning roller 110 is used to wind and support the electrode 210, and the first roller 140 is used to wind the electrode 210 that is wound from the first tensioning roller 110.

[0080] The first pressure roller 120 and the first tension roller 110 are arranged side by side and spaced apart. The first driving member 130 is used to drive the first pressure roller 120 closer to the first tension roller 110, so that the first pressure roller 120 presses the electrode 210 supported by the first tension roller 110. The first driving member 130 is also used to drive the first pressure roller 120 away from the first tension roller 110.

[0081] By tensioning the electrode 210 with the first tensioning roller 110, the electrode 210 can maintain tension, preventing it from slackening and thus ensuring the etching accuracy of the electrode 210. After the first pressure roller 120 presses the electrode 210 supported by the first tensioning roller 110, it can effectively reduce the probability of the electrode 210 shifting along its width direction, ensuring that the electrode 210 winds into the first roller 140 along a predetermined path.

[0082] After the first pressure roller 120 loosens the electrode 210 supported by the first tension roller 110, it facilitates the installation, replacement or maintenance of the electrode 210, thereby improving operational convenience.

[0083] Specifically, the first driving component 130 can be one of the following: a cylinder, a linear motor, a hydraulic cylinder, an electric cylinder, a motor-driven lead screw and nut mechanism, a motor-driven gear and rack mechanism, a motor-driven sprocket and chain mechanism, a motor-driven synchronous pulley and synchronous belt mechanism, and a motor-driven crank and slider mechanism. Preferably, the first driving component 130 is a cylinder.

[0084] Reference Figure 1 In the improved embodiment described above, the conveying assembly 100 further includes a second tensioning roller 150, a second pressure roller 160, and a second drive member 170. The second tensioning roller 150 is used to wind around the electrode sheet 210 that extends from the first roller 140 and to support the electrode sheet 210. The second roller 180 is used to wind around the electrode sheet 210 that extends from the second tensioning roller 150.

[0085] The second pressure roller 160 and the second tension roller 150 are arranged side by side and spaced apart. The second driving member 170 is used to drive the second pressure roller 160 closer to the second tension roller 150 so that the second pressure roller 160 presses the electrode plate 210 supported by the second tension roller 150; the second driving member 170 is also used to drive the second pressure roller 160 away from the second tension roller 150.

[0086] By tightening the electrode 210 with the second tensioning roller 150, the electrode 210 can be kept under tension, preventing it from slackening and thus helping to ensure the etching accuracy of the electrode 210. After the second pressure roller 160 presses the electrode 210 supported by the second tensioning roller 150, it can effectively reduce the probability of the electrode 210 shifting along its width direction, ensuring that the electrode 210 is wound into the second roller 180 along a predetermined path.

[0087] After the second pressure roller 160 loosens the electrode 210 supported by the second tension roller 150, it facilitates the installation, replacement or equipment maintenance of the electrode 210, thereby improving operational convenience.

[0088] Specifically, the second driving component 170 can be one of the following: a cylinder, a linear motor, a hydraulic cylinder, an electric cylinder, a motor-driven lead screw and nut mechanism, a motor-driven gear and rack mechanism, a motor-driven sprocket and chain mechanism, a motor-driven synchronous pulley and synchronous belt mechanism, and a motor-driven crank and slider mechanism. Preferably, the second driving component 170 is a cylinder.

[0089] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments of this application, the included angle between any two of the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction is greater than zero. The laser etching apparatus further includes a first driving component 320 and a second driving component 420. The first driving component 320 is used to drive the first laser head 310 to move along the first direction, the first driving component 320 is also used to drive the first laser head 310 to move along the second direction, and the first driving component 320 is also used to drive the first laser head 310 to move along the third direction.

[0090] The second drive assembly 420 is used to drive the second laser head 410 to move along the first direction. The first drive assembly 320 is also used to drive the second laser head 410 to move along the second direction and the first drive assembly 320 is also used to drive the second laser head 410 to move along the third direction.

[0091] The first drive assembly 320 drives the first laser head 310 to move in three-dimensional space, and can adjust the spatial position of the first laser head 310, thereby compensating for the conveying deviation of the electrode 210, the installation error of the equipment, or the offset error of the laser, and improving the positional accuracy of the first sub-groove 221.

[0092] Similarly, the second drive assembly 420 drives the second laser head 410 to move in three-dimensional space, which can adjust the spatial position of the second laser head 410, thereby compensating for the conveying deviation of the electrode 210, the installation error of the equipment, or the offset error of the laser, and improving the positional accuracy of the second sub-groove 222.

[0093] Specifically, the angle between any two of the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction is 80 degrees, 85 degrees, 90 degrees, or other angles.
