In related technologies, electrode plate slitting cutter holders all slit positive and negative electrode plates of a traction battery by an upper cutter and a lower cutter cooperating with each other. During slitting, the upper cutter and the lower cutter may come into contact with each other, which will inevitably lead to the wear of the cutters, thereby affecting the service life of the cutters and further seriously affecting the slitting quality of the positive and negative electrode plates.

At present, from the perspective of the development of the market situation, traction batteries are used more and more widely. The traction batteries are not only used in energy storage power systems such as hydroelectric power plants, thermal power plants, wind power plants and solar power plants, but also widely used in electric transportation means such as electric bicycles, electric motorcycles and electric vehicles and in many fields such as military equipment and aerospace. With the continuous expansion of the application field of traction batteries, the market demand for the traction batteries is also expanding.
During manufacturing of a traction battery, it is necessary to use an electrode plate slitting machine to slit positive and negative electrode plates, the electrode plate slitting machine comprises an electrode plate slitting cutter holder, and a cutter on the electrode plate slitting cutter holder is used to slit the positive and negative electrode plates of the battery.
The inventors of the present application have noticed that electrode plate slitting cutter holders in related technologies usually slit positive and negative electrode plates of a traction battery by an upper cutter and a lower cutter cooperating with each other. During slitting, the upper cutter and the lower cutter may come into contact with each other, which will inevitably lead to the wear of the cutters, thereby affecting the service life of the cutters and further seriously affecting the slitting quality of the battery electrode plates.
In order to solve the problem that the upper cutter and the lower cutter may have contact wear during slitting, which affects the service life of the cutters and the slitting quality of the positive and negative electrode plates, the present application designs an electrode plate slitting cutter holder, which uses a single double-edged cutter to cut the positive and negative electrode plates of the traction battery instead of a manner in which the upper cutter and the lower cutter cooperate with each other. This can not only prevent the contact wear when the upper cutter and the lower cutter are used, to prolong the service life of the cutter, but also improve the slitting quality of the positive and negative electrode plates of the traction battery.
An electrode plate slitting cutter holder 100 disclosed according to an embodiment of the present application is used for, including but not limited to, slitting positive and negative electrode plates of a traction battery.

Therefore, on the one hand, the distance between the upper cutter holder 20 and the lower cutter holder 30 fits with a thickness of each of the positive and negative electrode plates of the battery, and on the other hand, the damage caused by the contact between the double-edged cutter 40 and the cutter groove 221 during electrode plate slitting is prevented.

For example, the first elastic member and the second elastic member are springs, rubber pads, silicone pads, or the like. When the first screw 141 and the second screw 151 are tightened, that is, when the distance between the upper cutter mount and the lower cutter mount is adjusted to decrease, the first elastic member is squeezed to elastically deform and store elastic potential energy; and when the first screw 141 and the second screw 151 are loosened, the first elastic member and the second elastic member release elastic potential energy, and the distance between the upper cutter mount and the lower cutter mount is increased. During the adjustment of the upper cutter mount and the lower cutter mount, the first screw 141 is always in threaded connection with the third cutter mount 14 and the first cutter mount 12, and the second screw 151 is always in threaded connection with the fourth cutter mount 15 and the second cutter mount 13.

Similarly, the second elastic member is arranged between the second cutter mount 13 and the fourth cutter mount 15, and the second screw 151 is in threaded connection with the fourth cutter mount 15 and the second cutter mount 13, so that after the second screw 151 is in threaded connection with the fourth cutter mount 15, the distance between the fourth cutter mount 15 and the second cutter mount 13 can be adjusted by adjusting a length of threaded connection between the second screw 151 and the fourth threaded hole in the second cutter mount 13.
In addition, after the distance between the upper cutter mount and the lower cutter mount is adjusted, when the positive and negative electrode plates of the battery between the upper cutter holder 20 and the lower cutter holder 30 are uneven in thickness, the first elastic member and the second elastic member serves an elastic buffering function, which can ensure the stable conveying of the electrode plates between the upper cutter holder 20 and the lower cutter holder 30, thereby ensuring the normal slitting of the electrode plates by the double-edged cutter 40.
Further, a first pressure sensor may be arranged between the first cutter mount 12 and the third cutter mount 14, and a second pressure sensor may be arranged between the second cutter mount 13 and the fourth cutter mount 15. The first pressure sensor can detect a pressure on the first cutter mount 12, and the second pressure sensor can detect a pressure on the second cutter mount 13. When the pressure on the first cutter mount 12 and the pressure on the second cutter mount 13 are the same, it indicates that the distance between the third cutter mount 14 and the first cutter mount 12 is the same as that between the fourth cutter mount 15 and the second cutter mount 13, thereby facilitating the equidistant adjustment of the distance between the upper cutter mount and the lower cutter mount.

By inserting a first guide post into the first guide groove 161, the first guide groove 161 serves a guiding and limiting function, so that the third cutter mount 14 can only move relative to the first cutter mount 12 in the vertical direction, thereby preventing deviation during adjustment of a height distance between the third cutter mount 14 and the first cutter mount 12.
Similarly, by inserting a second guide post into the second guide groove 171, the second guide groove 171 also serves a guiding and limiting function, so that the fourth cutter mount 15 can only move relative to the second cutter mount 13 in the vertical direction, thereby preventing deviation during adjustment of a height distance between the fourth cutter mount 15 and the second cutter mount 13.

Specifically, a biting amount of the double-edged cutter 40 is ½ of a difference between the diameter of the double-edged cutter 40 and the diameter of the lower shaft sleeve 32.
After the biting amount of the double-edged cutter 40 is set, the stability of the double-edged cutter 40 in slitting the positive and negative electrode plates of the battery can be ensured, which helps to improve the slitting quality of the electrode plates.
Referring to
The projections of the axes of the upper cutter holder 20 and the lower cutter holder 30 in the vertical direction coincide, that is, the axes of the upper cutter holder 20 and the lower cutter holder 30 are located in a same vertical plane.
The setting of the axes of the upper cutter holder 20 and the lower cutter holder 30 in the same vertical plane can reduce a space occupied by the electrode plate slitting cutter holder 100 in a horizontal direction, and help to reduce the volume of the product, thereby facilitating the installation and arrangement of the product.
