[0030] The technical solution of the present application will be further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0031] An embodiment of the present application provides a pole piece die-cutting method, which is used to cut a pole piece strip.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 and 3. Figure 1 is a flow chart of the electrode die-cutting method provided in an embodiment of the present application, and Figure 3 is a schematic structural diagram of the electrode die-cutting device. The electrode strip 1 includes an electrode material 11 and a tab foil 12. The electrode material 11 includes a layer of metal foil and two layers of substrate, with the metal foil sandwiched between the two layers of substrate. The tab foil 12 has only one layer of metal foil. The metal foil of the tab foil 12 and the metal foil of the electrode material 11 can be different parts of the same metal foil. The only difference is that the upper and lower surfaces of the metal foil of the tab foil 12 are not covered by the substrate.

[0033] The pole piece die-cutting device 2 has a pole piece cutting area and a pole tab cutting area. The pole piece die-cutting device 2 includes a first laser cutting component 21 and a second laser cutting component 22 .

[0034] Pole die cutting methods include:

[0035] Step S1: transport the electrode strip 1 along the first direction X to the cutting area of ​​the electrode die-cutting device 2, the electrode material 11 of the electrode strip 1 is opposite to the electrode cutting area of ​​the cutting area, and the electrode tab foil 12 of the electrode strip 1 is opposite to the electrode tab cutting area of ​​the cutting area.

[0036] Step S2: According to the pole piece strip 1, adjust the positions of the first laser cutting component 21 and the second laser cutting component 22 of the pole piece die-cutting device 2, so that the center point of the first laser galvanometer 211 of the first laser cutting component 21 is located above the preset pole piece cutting line L1, and the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221 of the second laser cutting component 22 is located above the pole ear cutting area.

[0037] Step S3: using the first laser cutting assembly 21 to reciprocately cut the pole sheet material 11 along the pole sheet cutting line L1 to form pole sheets, and using the second laser cutting assembly 22 to reciprocately cut the pole tab foil 12 along the tab cutting line L2 to form tabs.

[0038] It should be noted that when the conveying device conveys the pole sheet material 11 to the pole sheet die-cutting device, the pole sheet cutting area is configured to carry the pole sheet material 11, and the tab cutting area is configured to carry the tab foil 12. Since the pole sheet cutting area is opposite to the pole sheet material 11, and the tab cutting area is opposite to the tab foil 12, FIG1 does not illustrate the pole sheet cutting area and the tab cutting area. The area where the pole sheet material 11 is located can be regarded as the pole sheet cutting area, and the area where the tab foil 12 is located can be regarded as the tab cutting area.

[0039] In this embodiment, the electrode sheet cutting line L1 is parallel to the second direction Y, the tab cutting line L2 is parallel to the first direction X, and the first direction X and the second direction Y intersect.

[0040] In this embodiment, the first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y. In other embodiments, the first direction X and the second direction Y may intersect but not be perpendicular. For example, the first direction X and the second direction Y may form an angle of, but not limited to, 30 degrees, 45 degrees, or 60 degrees.

[0041] The pole piece cutting line L1 can be regarded as the laser path of the first laser cutting assembly 21 for cutting the pole piece material 11. The pole piece cutting line L1 is located in the pole piece cutting area. The first laser cutting assembly 21 can cut the pole piece material 11 along the pole piece cutting line L1 to form a pole piece. The tab cutting line L2 can be regarded as the laser path of the second laser cutting assembly 22 for cutting the tab foil 12. The tab cutting line L2 is located at the junction of the pole piece cutting area and the tab cutting area. The second laser cutting assembly 22 can cut the excess tab foil 12 along the tab cutting line L2 to form a tab.

[0042] As shown in Figure 4, Figure 4 is a top view of the pole piece die-cutting device. After the position of the first laser cutting assembly 21 is adjusted, the center point of the first laser galvanometer 211 is located above the pole piece cutting line L1, that is, the orthographic projection of the center point of the first laser galvanometer 211 in the third direction Z falls on the pole piece cutting line L1, the third direction Z is perpendicular to the first direction X and the second direction Y, and the line between the center point of the first laser galvanometer 211 and the pole piece cutting line L1 is perpendicular to the first direction X. By placing the center point of the first laser galvanometer 211 directly above the pole piece cutting line L1, the laser incident cutting angle when the first laser galvanometer 211 cuts the pole piece material 11 can be made 90 degrees, thereby ensuring that the upper substrates of the two pole pieces on both sides of the pole piece cutting line L1 have the same degree of vaporization in the cutting area.

[0043] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the center point of the first laser galvanometer 211 refers to the geometric center point of the first laser galvanometer 211, that is, the light output center of the first laser galvanometer 211, and the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221 is also the same, which will not be repeated here.

[0044] In one embodiment, the positions of the first laser cutting assembly and the second laser cutting assembly can be manually adjusted so that the center point of the first laser galvanometer 211 is located above the pole piece cutting line L1, and the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221 is located above the pole tab cutting area.

[0045] In one embodiment, the pole piece die-cutting device used in the pole piece die-cutting method provided in the embodiment of the present application can automatically adjust the positions of the first laser cutting component and the second laser cutting component. Please refer to Figure 2, which is a specific flow chart of the pole piece die-cutting method provided in the embodiment of the present application. The steps of adjusting the positions of the first laser cutting component and the second laser cutting component of the pole piece die-cutting device according to the pole piece strip include:

[0046] Step S21: obtaining the size parameters and position information of the pole piece strip 1, the position information of the first laser cutting assembly 21, and the position information of the second laser cutting assembly 22;

[0047] Step S22: determining a first distance compensation value of the first laser cutting assembly 21 along the second direction Y and a second distance compensation value of the second laser cutting assembly 22 along the second direction Y according to the size parameters and position information of the pole piece strip 1, the position information of the first laser cutting assembly 21, and the position information of the second laser cutting assembly 22;

[0048] Step S23: According to the first distance compensation value and the second distance compensation value, adjust the positions of the first laser cutting component 21 and the second laser cutting component 22 so that the center point of the first laser galvanometer 211 is located above the pole piece cutting line L1, and the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221 is located above the pole tab cutting area.

[0049] Specifically, the dimensional parameters of the electrode strip 1 include the width of the electrode material 11 along the second direction Y. The width of the electrode material 11 along the second direction Y is the length of the electrode cutting line L1. The coordinates of the electrode cutting line L1, the coordinates of the midpoint of the electrode cutting line L1, and the coordinates of the tab cutting line L2 can be determined based on the width of the electrode material 11 along the second direction Y and the position information of the electrode strip. The position information of the first laser cutting assembly 21 is the coordinates of the center point of the first laser galvanometer 211, and the position information of the second laser cutting assembly 22 is the coordinates of the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221.

[0050] According to the coordinates of the pole piece cutting line L1 and the coordinates of the center point of the first laser galvanometer 211, it can be determined whether the center point of the first laser galvanometer 211 is located directly above the pole piece cutting line L1. If the center of the first laser galvanometer 211 is not directly above the pole piece cutting line L1, the first distance compensation value of the first laser cutting assembly 21 along the second direction Y can be calculated based on the coordinates of the pole piece cutting line L1 and the coordinates of the center point of the first laser galvanometer 211. According to the coordinates of the tab cutting line L2 and the coordinates of the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221, it can be determined whether the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221 is located above the tab cutting area. If the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221 is not above the tab cutting area, the second distance compensation value of the second laser cutting assembly 22 along the second direction Y can be calculated based on the coordinates of the tab cutting line L2 and the coordinates of the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221.

[0051] In this embodiment, the first laser cutting assembly 21 and the second laser cutting assembly 22 cut the pole piece strip at the same time, which can improve the cutting efficiency of the tab die-cutting device. In some other embodiments, the first laser cutting assembly 21 and the second laser cutting assembly 22 can also cut the pole piece strip successively, which is not limited here. In a preferred embodiment, according to the pole piece strip 1, the step of adjusting the position of the first laser cutting assembly 21 specifically includes: determining the coordinates of the midpoint of the pole piece cutting line L1 and the coordinates of the center point of the first laser galvanometer 211 according to the size parameters and position information of the pole piece strip 1 and the position information of the first laser cutting assembly 21; determining the first distance compensation value of the first laser cutting assembly 21 according to the coordinates of the midpoint of the pole piece cutting line L1 and the coordinates of the center point of the first laser galvanometer 211; adjusting the position of the first laser cutting assembly 21 according to the first distance compensation value so that the center point of the first laser galvanometer 211 overlaps with the midpoint of the pole piece cutting line L1 in the third direction Z, and the third direction Z is perpendicular to the first direction X and the second direction Y.

[0052] It should be noted that the center point of the first laser galvanometer 211 overlaps with the midpoint of the pole piece cutting line L1 in the third direction Z, that is, the center point of the first laser galvanometer 211 is located directly above the midpoint of the pole piece cutting line L1. The pole piece material 11 is symmetrical about the pole piece center line L3, and the pole piece center line L3 passes through the midpoint of the pole piece cutting line L1. Because the effective cutting range of the first laser galvanometer 211 is symmetrical about the center point of the first laser galvanometer 211, by positioning the center point of the first laser galvanometer 211 directly above the midpoint of the pole piece cutting line L1, it can be ensured that the upper substrate of the pole piece on both sides of the pole piece center line L3 has the same degree of vaporization in the cutting area.

[0053] As shown in FIG4 , the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221 is located above the tab cutting area, and the orthographic projection of the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221 along the third direction Z is located within the tab cutting area.

[0054] Combined with Figures 4 and 5, Figure 5 is a side view of the pole piece die-cutting device. After the position of the second laser cutting component 22 is adjusted, the first angle α between the line between the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221 and the pole ear cutting line L2 and the surface of the pole piece material 11 close to the first laser galvanometer 211 is greater than 90 degrees. The first angle α is the laser incident cutting angle of the second laser cutting component 22, which is equivalent to increasing the laser incident cutting angle of the second laser cutting component 22, reducing the vaporization of the upper substrate of the pole piece material 11 caused by repeated cutting, thereby solving the problem of foil leakage and reducing the risk of short circuit after the pole piece is assembled into a core package.

[0055] In a preferred embodiment, the step of adjusting the position of the second laser cutting assembly 22 according to the pole sheet strip 1 includes: determining the distance between the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221 and the tab cutting line L2 along the second direction according to the size parameters and position information of the pole sheet strip 1 and the position information of the second laser cutting assembly 22; determining the first angle between the line between the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221 and the tab cutting line L2 and the surface of the pole sheet material 11 close to the first laser galvanometer 211 according to the distance between the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221 and the tab cutting line L2 along the second direction and the height of the second laser galvanometer 221; if the first angle is less than or equal to 90 degrees or greater than 150 degrees, determining the second distance compensation value of the second laser cutting assembly 22 according to the distance between the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221 and the tab cutting line L2 along the second direction and the height of the second laser galvanometer 221; and adjusting the position of the second laser cutting assembly 22 according to the second distance compensation value so that the first angle is greater than 90 degrees and less than or equal to 150 degrees.

[0056] In this preferred embodiment, after the position adjustment of the second laser cutting assembly 22 is completed, the first angle α between the line connecting the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221 and the tab cutting line L2 and the surface of the pole piece material 11 close to the first laser galvanometer 211 can be, but is not limited to, 91 degrees, 95 degrees, 100 degrees, 120 degrees, 135 degrees or 150 degrees. Preferably, the first angle α should be greater than 90 degrees and less than or equal to 150 degrees, so as to ensure that while increasing the laser incident cutting angle of the second laser cutting assembly 22, the laser incident cutting angle of the second laser cutting assembly 22 is prevented from being too large, causing the foil to leak from the back of the pole piece.

[0057] Furthermore, in the steps of using the first laser cutting component to reciprocately cut the pole sheet material along the pole sheet cutting line to form a pole sheet, and using the second laser cutting component to reciprocately cut the pole tab foil along the pole tab cutting line to form a pole tab, at least one laser cutting component unit is used to cut the pole sheet strip, and each laser cutting component unit includes a first laser cutting component 21 and two second laser cutting components 22, the first laser cutting component 21 is arranged between the two second laser cutting components 22, and the two second laser cutting components 22 in the same laser cutting component unit are respectively configured to cut the pole tab foil on both adjacent sides of the pole tab.

[0058] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 4, the pole piece die-cutting device includes a laser cutting assembly unit, which includes a first laser cutting assembly 21 and two second laser cutting assemblies 22. The first laser cutting assembly 21 is arranged between the two second laser cutting assemblies 22, and the line connecting the center points of the second laser galvanometers 221 of the two second laser cutting assemblies 22 is parallel to the first direction X.

[0059] The first laser cutting assembly 21 is configured to cut the pole sheet material 11 along the pole sheet cutting line L1, one of the two second laser cutting assemblies 22 cuts the pole tab foil 12 on the left side of the pole tab along the corresponding pole tab cutting line, and the other of the two second laser cutting assemblies 22 cuts the pole tab foil 12 on the right side of the pole tab along the corresponding pole tab cutting line. In this way, by increasing the number of second laser cutting assemblies 22, the pole tab foils on the left and right sides of the pole tab can be cut at the same time, which can improve the cutting efficiency of the pole tab die-cutting device.

[0060] In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of laser cutting assembly units are used to cut the pole piece strip. The number of laser cutting assembly units may be 2 or 3 or more. The plurality of laser cutting assembly units may be arranged side by side and spaced apart along the first direction X.

[0061] Furthermore, the pole piece die-cutting method further includes: adjusting the center points of the plurality of second laser galvanometers 221 to be on the same straight line.

[0062] Preferably, after the positions of the multiple second laser galvanometers 221 are adjusted, the line connecting the center points of the second laser galvanometers 221 of the multiple second laser cutting assemblies 22 is parallel to the first direction X and the tab cutting line L2, thereby ensuring that the cutting effects of the multiple different second laser cutting assemblies 22 are consistent.

[0063] Furthermore, the first laser cutting assembly 21 includes a first laser corresponding to the first laser galvanometer 211 , and the second laser cutting assembly 22 includes a second laser corresponding to the second laser galvanometer 221 . Both the first laser and the second laser are picosecond lasers.

[0064] Furthermore, the power of the first laser is greater than or equal to 5 MW and less than or equal to 10 MW, and the power of the second laser is greater than or equal to 5 MW and less than or equal to 10 MW.

[0065] Specifically, the power of the first laser and the second laser can be, but is not limited to, 5 MW, 6 MW, 8 MW, or 10 MW. A power between 5 MW and 10 MW is sufficient to ensure that the first laser cutting assembly and the second laser cutting assembly can cut the pole piece strip. In practical applications, the power of the first laser and the second laser can be equal or different, and this is not a limitation.

[0066] Please refer to Figures 6 and 7. Figure 6 is a top view of another electrode die-cutting device, and Figure 7 is a front view of another electrode die-cutting device provided by an embodiment of the present application. Its structure is roughly the same as that of the electrode die-cutting device described in Figure 3, with the difference that: the electrode die-cutting device also includes a plurality of conveying members 3 and a plurality of tab smoothing members 4. The tab smoothing members 4 are arranged near the outer circumference of one end of the conveying member 3, and the tab smoothing members 4 can be located above or below the conveying member 3. The electrode sheet material 11 is partially attached to the outer circumference of the conveying member 3, and the tab foil 12 passes through the gap between the tab smoothing members 4 and the conveying member 3. The tab smoothing members 4 can smooth the curled tab foil 12.

[0067] It should be noted that Figure 6 only illustrates the relative position relationship between the conveying member 3, the tab smoothing member 4 and the first laser cutting assembly 21, the second laser cutting assembly 22 and the pole piece strip, and does not represent the number of rollers 3 and tab smoothing members 4 in actual application.

[0068] In this embodiment, the conveyor 3 is a cylindrical roller, with the pole piece material 11 partially attached to its outer circumference. Driven by a driving roller (not shown), the pole piece material 11 can move in a first direction X, and the roller can rotate with the movement of the pole piece material 1. The projection of the line connecting the center point of the first laser galvanometer 211 and the midpoint of the centerline of the roller along the third direction X is parallel to the first direction X.

[0069] In one embodiment, the position of the first laser cutting assembly 21 can be adjusted according to the position of the conveyor 3. According to the pole piece strip, the step of adjusting the position of the first laser cutting assembly includes: judging whether the orthographic projection of the line between the center point of the first laser galvanometer 211 and the center point of the conveyor 3 along the third direction Z is parallel to the first direction X according to the position information of the conveyor 3 and the position information of the first laser cutting assembly 21; if not, determining the first distance compensation value of the first laser cutting assembly 21 along the second direction Y according to the position information of the conveyor 3 and the position information of the first laser cutting assembly 21; adjusting the position of the first laser cutting assembly 21 according to the first distance compensation value so that the orthographic projection of the line between the center point of the first laser galvanometer 211 and the center point of the conveyor 3 along the third direction Z is parallel to the first direction X. In this way, the first laser cutting assembly 21 can also be adjusted to a position that meets the cutting conditions.

[0070] In one embodiment, the position of the second laser cutting assembly 22 can be adjusted according to the position of the tab smoothing member 4. According to the pole piece strip, the step of adjusting the position of the second laser cutting assembly 22 includes: judging whether the projection of the line connecting the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221 and the center point of the tab smoothing member 4 in the third direction Z is parallel to the first direction X according to the position information of the tab smoothing member 4 and the position information of the second laser cutting assembly 22; or whether the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221 is located within a preset distance range on the side of the tab smoothing member 4 away from the pole piece cutting area; if the position of the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221 meets any one of the above two conditions, then the surface The position of the center point of the second laser galvanometer meets the cutting conditions, and there is no need to adjust the position of the second laser cutting assembly 22. If neither of the above conditions is met, that is, the second distance compensation value of the second laser cutting assembly 22 along the second direction Y is determined based on the position information of the tab smoothing member 4 and the position information of the second laser cutting assembly 22. According to the second distance compensation value, the position of the second laser cutting assembly 22 is adjusted so that the projection of the line connecting the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221 and the center point of the tab smoothing member 4 in the third direction Z is parallel to the first direction X, or the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221 is within a preset distance range on the side of the tab smoothing member 4 away from the electrode cutting area. As long as either of the above two conditions is met, the second laser cutting assembly 22 can be adjusted to a position that meets the cutting conditions.

[0071] It should be noted that when the projection of the line connecting the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221 and the center point of the tab smoothing piece 4 in the third direction Z is parallel to the first direction X, that is, the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221 is flush with the center points of the multiple tab smoothing pieces 4 in the first direction X.

[0072] Furthermore, the preset distance range is greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 10 mm.

[0073] For example, the distance d between the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221 and the center point of the tab smoothing member 4 along the second direction Y can be any value including but not limited to 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10 mm, and only needs to be between 0 and 10 mm. This ensures that the laser incident cutting angle of the second laser galvanometer 221 is greater than 90 degrees.

[0074] In this embodiment, the pole piece die-cutting device further includes a camera assembly, a control assembly 5, a first drive assembly 6, and a second drive assembly. The camera assembly is configured to obtain the size parameters and position information of the pole piece strip, the position information of the first laser cutting assembly, and the position information of the second laser cutting assembly.

[0075] Specifically, the camera assembly is a CCD camera. When the electrode strip is conveyed to the cutting area, the conveying mechanism and the electrode strip stop moving, and the CCD camera is used to capture photos of the electrode strip, the first laser cutting assembly, and the second laser cutting assembly. Based on the photos, the dimensional parameters of the electrode strip, the position information of the first laser cutting assembly, and the position information of the second laser cutting assembly can be obtained.

[0076] In this embodiment, the dimension parameter of the electrode sheet strip 1 is the width of the electrode sheet material 11 along the second direction Y. The width of the electrode sheet material 11 along the second direction Y is the length of the electrode sheet cutting line L1. The coordinates of the electrode sheet cutting line L1 and the coordinates of the midpoint of the electrode sheet cutting line L1 can be determined based on the width of the electrode sheet material 11 along the second direction Y and the position information of the electrode sheet material 11. The position information of the first laser cutting assembly refers to the coordinates of the center point of the first laser galvanometer, and the position information of the second laser cutting assembly refers to the coordinates of the center point of the second laser galvanometer.

[0077] In this embodiment, the control component is in communication with the camera component and is configured to determine a first distance compensation value for the first laser cutting component along the second direction and a second distance compensation value for the second laser cutting component along the second direction based on the size parameters and position information of the pole piece strip, the position information of the first laser cutting component, and the position information of the second laser cutting component. Specifically, the control component may be a computer.

[0078] The first drive assembly 6 is in communication with the control assembly 5 and is connected to the first laser cutting assembly 21. The first drive assembly 6 is configured to drive the first laser cutting assembly 21 to move along the second direction Y to directly above the electrode sheet cutting line L1 according to the first distance compensation value. The second drive assembly (not shown) is in communication with the control assembly and is connected to the second laser cutting assembly 22. The second drive assembly is configured to drive the second laser cutting assembly 22 to move along the second direction Y to above the electrode tab cutting area according to the second distance compensation value.

[0079] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG8 , FIG8 is a schematic structural diagram of the first laser cutting assembly and the first drive assembly. Taking the first drive assembly 6 as an example, the first drive assembly 6 includes a servo driver 61, a servo motor 62, and a screw 63. The servo driver 61 is respectively connected to the control assembly 5 and the servo motor 62 for communication. The screw 63 is connected to the servo motor 62 for transmission. The screw 63 passes through a fixing member 64 and is threadedly connected to the fixing member 64. The fixing member 64 can be a screw fixing rod. The screw 63 is rotatably connected to the first laser cutting assembly 21.

[0080] The control assembly 5 transmits the first distance compensation value to the servo driver 61. The servo driver 61 controls the servo motor 62 to rotate and drive the screw 63. Driven by the screw 63, the first laser cutting assembly 21 moves along the second direction Y to directly above the electrode cutting line L1. The structure and operating principle of the second drive assembly are the same as those of the first drive assembly and are not further described here.

[0081] Beneficial effects of the present application: In the present application, the electrode die-cutting method includes conveying the electrode strip along a first direction to the cutting area of ​​the electrode die-cutting device, the electrode material of the electrode strip is opposite to the electrode cutting area of ​​the cutting area, and the pole tab foil of the electrode strip is opposite to the pole tab cutting area of ​​the cutting area; according to the electrode strip, the positions of the first laser cutting component and the second laser cutting component of the electrode die-cutting device are adjusted so that the center point of the first laser galvanometer of the first laser cutting component is located above the preset electrode cutting line, and the center point of the second laser galvanometer of the second laser cutting component is located above the side of the pole tab cutting line away from the pole tab cutting area; the first laser cutting component is used to perform reciprocating cutting of the electrode material along the pole tab cutting line to form a pole piece, and the second laser cutting component is used to perform reciprocating cutting of the pole tab foil along the pole tab cutting line to form a pole tab. By placing the first laser galvanometer of the first laser cutting assembly above the pole piece cutting line and the second laser galvanometer of the second laser cutting assembly above the pole tab cutting area, the laser incident cutting angles of the first laser cutting assembly and the second laser cutting assembly are increased. This can avoid repeated cutting of the same position to cause serious vaporization of the surface material of the pole tab foil, thereby solving the problem of foil leakage caused by laser cutting and reducing the risk of short circuit after the pole pieces are assembled into core packages.

[0082] An embodiment of the present application provides a pole piece die-cutting device, which is configured to cut a pole piece strip.

[0083] Please refer to Figure 3. The pole sheet material strip 1 includes a pole sheet material 11 and a tab foil 12. The pole sheet material 11 includes a layer of metal foil and two layers of substrate. The metal foil is sandwiched between the two layers of substrate. The tab foil 12 has only one layer of metal foil. The metal foil of the tab foil 12 and the metal foil of the pole sheet material 11 can be different parts of the same metal foil. The only difference is that the upper and lower surfaces of the metal foil of the tab foil 12 are not covered by the substrate.

[0084] The pole piece die-cutting device 2 has a pole piece cutting area and a pole tab cutting area. The pole piece cutting area is opposite to the pole piece material 11, and the pole tab cutting area is opposite to the pole tab foil 12. When the conveying device conveys the pole piece material 11 to the pole piece die-cutting device, the pole piece cutting area is configured to carry the pole piece material 11, and the pole tab cutting area is configured to carry the pole tab foil 12.

[0085] It should be noted that since the pole sheet cutting area is opposite to the pole sheet material 11 and the tab cutting area is opposite to the tab foil 12, Figure 1 does not illustrate the pole sheet cutting area and the tab cutting area. The area where the pole sheet material 11 is located can be regarded as the pole sheet cutting area, and the area where the tab foil 12 is located can be regarded as the tab cutting area.

[0086] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the pole piece die-cutting device includes a first laser cutting component 21 and a second laser cutting component 22. The first laser cutting component 21 is configured to perform reciprocating cutting of the pole piece material 11 transported to the pole piece cutting area along the preset pole piece cutting line L1 to form a pole piece, and the second laser cutting component 22 is configured to perform reciprocating cutting of the pole piece foil 12 transported to the pole tab cutting area along the preset pole tab cutting line L2 to form a pole tab.

[0087] The transmission direction of the electrode strip 1 is parallel to the first direction X, the electrode cutting line L1 is parallel to the second direction Y, and the tab cutting line L2 is parallel to the first direction X. The first direction X and the second direction Y intersect. In this embodiment, the first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular. In other embodiments, the first direction X and the second direction Y may intersect but not be perpendicular. For example, the first direction X and the second direction Y form an angle of, but not limited to, 30 degrees, 45 degrees, or 60 degrees.

[0088] The pole piece cutting line L1 can be regarded as the laser path of the first laser cutting component 21 for cutting the pole piece material 11. The pole piece cutting line L1 is located in the pole piece cutting area. The first laser cutting component 21 can cut the pole piece material 11 along the pole piece cutting line L1 to form a pole piece. The tab cutting line L2 can be regarded as the laser path of the second laser cutting component 22 for cutting the tab foil 12. The tab cutting line L2 is located at the junction of the pole piece cutting area and the tab cutting area. The second laser cutting component 22 can cut the excess tab foil 12 along the tab cutting line L2 to form a tab. Both the pole piece cutting line L1 and the tab cutting line L2 can be preset and generated by the pole piece die-cutting device and stored in the pole piece die-cutting device. When pole piece cutting is required, the corresponding preset pole piece cutting line and tab cutting line can be selected according to different pole pieces.

[0089] Furthermore, the first laser cutting assembly 21 includes a first laser galvanometer 211 , and the center point of the first laser galvanometer 211 is located above the pole piece cutting line L1 .

[0090] As shown in FIG4 , the center point of the first laser galvanometer 211 is located above the pole piece cutting line L1, that is, the orthographic projection of the center point of the first laser galvanometer 211 along the third direction Z falls on the pole piece cutting line L1, the third direction Z is perpendicular to the first direction X and the second direction Y, and the line between the center point of the first laser galvanometer 211 and the pole piece cutting line L1 is perpendicular to the first direction X. By placing the center point of the first laser galvanometer 211 above the pole piece cutting line L1, the laser incident cutting angle when the first laser galvanometer 211 cuts the pole piece material 11 can be made 90 degrees, thereby ensuring that the upper substrate of the two pole pieces located on both sides of the pole piece cutting line L1 has the same degree of vaporization in the cutting area.

[0091] Preferably, the center point of the first laser galvanometer 211 overlaps with the midpoint of the pole piece cutting line L1 in the third direction Z, that is, the center point of the first laser galvanometer 211 is located above the midpoint of the pole piece cutting line L1. The pole piece material 11 is symmetrical about the pole piece center line L3, and the pole piece center line L3 passes through the midpoint of the pole piece cutting line L1. Because the effective cutting range of the first laser galvanometer 211 is symmetrical about the center point of the first laser galvanometer 211, by positioning the center point of the first laser galvanometer 211 above the midpoint of the pole piece cutting line L1, it can be ensured that the upper substrate of the pole piece on both sides of the pole piece center line L3 has a consistent degree of vaporization in the cutting area.

[0092] Furthermore, the second laser cutting assembly 22 includes a second laser galvanometer 221 , and the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221 is located above the tab cutting area.

[0093] As shown in FIG4 , the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221 is located above the tab cutting area, and the orthographic projection of the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221 along the third direction Z is located within the tab cutting area.

[0094] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the angle α between the line between the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221 and the tab cutting line L2 and the surface of the pole sheet material 11 close to the first laser galvanometer 211 is greater than 90 degrees. The angle between the line between the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221 and the tab cutting line L2 and the surface of the pole sheet material 11 close to the first laser galvanometer 211 is the laser incident cutting angle of the second laser cutting component 22. This is equivalent to increasing the laser incident cutting angle of the second laser cutting component 22, reducing the vaporization of the upper substrate of the pole sheet material 11 caused by repeated cutting, thereby solving the problem of foil leakage and reducing the risk of short circuit after the pole sheet is assembled into a core package.

[0095] Specifically, the angle α between the line connecting the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221 and the tab cutting line L2 and the surface of the pole sheet material 11 close to the first laser galvanometer 211 can be, but is not limited to, 91 degrees, 95 degrees, 100 degrees, 120 degrees, 135 degrees, or 150 degrees. Preferably, the angle α between the line connecting the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221 and the tab cutting line L2 and the surface of the pole sheet material 11 close to the first laser galvanometer 211 should be greater than 90 degrees and less than or equal to 150 degrees. This ensures that while increasing the laser incident cutting angle of the second laser cutting assembly 22, it avoids the situation where the laser incident cutting angle of the second laser cutting assembly 22 is too large, causing the foil to leak from the back of the pole sheet.

[0096] It should be noted that the center point of the first laser galvanometer 211 refers to the geometric center point of the first laser galvanometer 211, that is, the light output center of the first laser galvanometer 211. The same is true for the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221, which will not be repeated here.

[0097] In this embodiment, the first laser cutting assembly 21 and the second laser cutting assembly 22 cut the electrode material strip simultaneously, which can improve the cutting efficiency of the tab die-cutting device. In other embodiments, the first laser cutting assembly 21 and the second laser cutting assembly 22 can also cut the electrode material strip sequentially, which is not limited here.

[0098] Furthermore, the pole piece die-cutting device includes at least one laser cutting component unit, each laser cutting component unit includes a first laser cutting component 21 and two second laser cutting components 22, the first laser cutting component 21 is arranged between the two second laser cutting components 22, and the two second laser cutting components 22 in the same laser cutting component unit are respectively configured to cut the pole piece foil on the adjacent two sides of the pole piece.

[0099] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 4, the pole piece die-cutting device includes a laser cutting assembly unit, which includes a first laser cutting assembly 21 and two second laser cutting assemblies 22. The first laser cutting assembly 21 is arranged between the two second laser cutting assemblies 22, and the line connecting the center points of the second laser galvanometers 221 of the two second laser cutting assemblies 22 is parallel to the first direction X.

[0100] The first laser cutting assembly 21 is configured to cut the pole sheet material 11 along the pole sheet cutting line L1, one of the two second laser cutting assemblies 22 cuts the pole tab foil 12 on the left side of the pole tab along the corresponding pole tab cutting line, and the other of the two second laser cutting assemblies 22 cuts the pole tab foil 12 on the right side of the pole tab along the corresponding pole tab cutting line. In this way, by increasing the number of second laser cutting assemblies 22, the pole tab foils on the left and right sides of the pole tab can be cut at the same time, which can improve the cutting efficiency of the pole tab die-cutting device.

[0101] In some other embodiments, the number of laser cutting assembly units in the pole piece die-cutting device is not limited to one as in the above embodiment, and may include two, three, or more laser cutting assembly units, and multiple laser cutting assembly units may be arranged side by side and spaced apart along the first direction X. In this structure, the pole piece die-cutting device may include multiple second laser cutting assemblies 22, and the center points of the second laser galvanometers 221 of the multiple second laser cutting assemblies 22 are located on the same straight line.

[0102] Preferably, the line connecting the center points of the second laser galvanometers 221 of the plurality of second laser cutting assemblies 22 is parallel to the first direction X and the tab cutting line L2 , thereby ensuring that the cutting effects of the plurality of different second laser cutting assemblies 22 are consistent.

[0103] Furthermore, the first laser cutting assembly 21 includes a first laser corresponding to the first laser galvanometer 211 , and the second laser cutting assembly 22 includes a second laser corresponding to the second laser galvanometer 221 . Both the first laser and the second laser are picosecond lasers.

[0104] Furthermore, the power of the first laser is greater than or equal to 5 MW and less than or equal to 10 MW, and the power of the second laser is greater than or equal to 5 MW and less than or equal to 10 MW.

[0105] Specifically, the power of the first laser and the second laser can be, but is not limited to, 5 MW, 6 MW, 8 MW, or 10 MW. A power between 5 MW and 10 MW is sufficient to ensure that the first laser cutting assembly and the second laser cutting assembly can cut the pole piece strip. In practical applications, the power of the first laser and the second laser can be equal or different, and this is not a limitation.

[0106] Please refer to Figures 6 and 7. The structure is substantially the same as that of the electrode die-cutting device described in Figure 1, with the difference that the electrode die-cutting device further comprises a plurality of conveying members 3 and a plurality of tab smoothing members 4. The tab smoothing members 4 are arranged near the outer circumference of one end of the conveying members 3. The tab smoothing members 4 can be located above or below the conveying members 3. The electrode sheet material 11 is partially attached to the outer circumference of the conveying members 3, and the tab foil 12 passes through the gap between the tab smoothing members 4 and the conveying members 3. The tab smoothing members 4 can smooth the curled tab foil 12.

[0107] It should be noted that Figure 6 only illustrates the relative position relationship between the conveying member 3, the tab smoothing member 4 and the first laser cutting assembly 21, the second laser cutting assembly 22 and the pole piece strip, and does not represent the number of rollers and tab smoothing members 4 in actual application.

[0108] In this embodiment, the conveyor 3 is a cylindrical roller, with the pole piece material 11 partially attached to its outer circumference. Driven by a driving roller (not shown), the pole piece material 11 can move in a first direction X, and the roller can rotate with the movement of the pole piece material 1. The projection of the line connecting the center point of the first laser galvanometer 211 and the midpoint of the centerline of the roller along the third direction X is parallel to the first direction X.

[0109] In one embodiment, the center point of the tab smoothing member 4 is located in the tab cutting area, and the projection of the line connecting the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221 and the center point of the tab smoothing member 4 along the third direction Z is parallel to the first direction X.

[0110] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG6 , the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221 and the center point of the tab smoothing member 4 are located away from one side of the pole piece cutting area.

[0111] Furthermore, a distance d between a center point of the second laser galvanometer 221 and a center point of the tab smoothing member 4 along the second direction Y is greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 10 mm.

[0112] For example, the distance d between the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221 and the center point of the tab smoothing member 4 along the second direction Y can be any value including but not limited to 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10 mm, and only needs to be between 0 and 10 mm. This ensures that the laser incident cutting angle of the second laser galvanometer 221 is greater than 90 degrees.

[0113] In one embodiment, the positions of the first laser cutting assembly and the second laser cutting assembly can be manually adjusted so that the center point of the first laser galvanometer 211 is located directly above the pole piece cutting line L1, and the center point of the second laser galvanometer 221 is located above the pole tab cutting area.

[0114] In one embodiment, the pole piece die-cutting device can automatically adjust the positions of the first laser cutting assembly and the second laser cutting assembly. The pole piece die-cutting device also includes a camera assembly, a control assembly 5, a first drive assembly 6 and a second drive assembly.

[0115] In this embodiment, the camera assembly is configured to obtain the size parameters and position information of the pole piece strip, the position information of the first laser cutting assembly, and the position information of the second laser cutting assembly.

[0116] Specifically, the camera assembly is a CCD camera. When the electrode strip is conveyed to the cutting area, the conveying mechanism and the electrode strip stop moving, and the CCD camera is used to capture photos of the electrode strip, the first laser cutting assembly, and the second laser cutting assembly. Based on the photos, the dimensional parameters of the electrode strip, the position information of the first laser cutting assembly, and the position information of the second laser cutting assembly can be obtained.

[0117] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG8 , FIG8 is a schematic structural diagram of the first laser cutting assembly and the first drive assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application. Taking the first drive assembly 6 as an example, the first drive assembly 6 includes a servo driver 61, a servo motor 62, and a screw 63. The servo driver 61 is respectively connected to the control assembly 5 and the servo motor 62 for communication. The screw 63 is connected to the servo motor 62 for transmission. The screw 63 passes through a fixing member 64 and is threadedly connected to the fixing member 64. The fixing member 64 can be a screw fixing rod. The screw 63 is rotatably connected to the first laser cutting assembly 21.

[0118] Beneficial effects of the present application: In the present application, the pole piece die-cutting device includes a first laser cutting component and a second laser cutting component. The first laser cutting component is configured to perform reciprocating cutting along the pole piece cutting line on the pole piece material transported to the pole piece cutting area to form a pole piece, and the second laser cutting component is configured to perform reciprocating cutting along the pole piece cutting line on the pole piece foil transported to the pole tab cutting area to form a pole tab. By placing the first laser galvanometer above the pole piece cutting line and placing the second laser galvanometer of the second laser cutting component above the pole tab cutting area, the laser incident cutting angle of the first laser cutting component and the second laser cutting component is increased, thereby avoiding repeated cutting of the same position to cause serious vaporization of the upper surface material of the pole tab foil, thereby solving the problem of foil leakage caused by laser cutting and reducing the risk of short circuit after the pole piece is assembled into a core package.

For those skilled in the art, other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the embodiments here.
