Follow-Up Receiving Module for Continuous Electrode Plate Cutting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In the battery cell stacking process, the traditional electrode plate cutting method results in low conveying efficiency due to the need for the conveying module to pause and resume, leading to decreased cutting quality and potential deformation of the electrode plate, as the cut pieces are smaller and cannot be continuously received by downstream modules.
Innovation Solution
A follow-up receiving module with a sliding table driven by a transmission mechanism, including a cam and connecting assembly, allows for reciprocating movement to synchronize with the cutting module, ensuring continuous material reception and handling during the cutting process, using a conveyor belt with suction holes and rollers for precise material handling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the conveying module pauses and resumes repeatedly during cutting, then the cutter can cut the electrode plate, but the conveying efficiency of the electrode plate decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the receiving module movable instead of stationary. The receiving module moves synchronously with the conveying module during cutting operations, allowing continuous conveying without pausing. This dynamic adjustment resolves the contradiction by enabling the system to adapt its structure during operation to maintain both cutting functionality and continuous material flow.
2Productivity
If a follow-up cutting method is used to enable continuous conveying, then the conveying efficiency improves, but the electrode plate deforms under gravity during cutting
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary support structure - the movable receiving module with support rollers - that acts as a temporary support for the electrode plate during cutting. This intermediary element prevents the plate from sagging under gravity while allowing continuous conveying, thus resolving the contradiction between productivity improvement and manufacturing precision maintenance.
3Productivity
If the follow-up cutting module moves synchronously with the electrode plate, then continuous conveying is achieved, but the downstream module cannot receive the material until cutting is complete
Solution Approach 1:
The receiving module is designed to move dynamically - it travels with the conveying module during cutting and then returns to its initial position to receive the cut material. This dynamic positioning allows the downstream module to access the material immediately after cutting without waiting for the cutting module to complete its cycle, resolving the receiving delay while maintaining continuous conveying efficiency.
