1. Belt tension control system

l The unwinding tension control of the material belt is composed of two mechanisms；

l The unwinding part of the air expansion shaft is controlled by the swing of the low friction cylinder to control the tension during the unwinding process；

l During die punching, the belt swings up and down, and the servo motor pulls the screw rod to compensate. For example, when the die rises and falls, the servo motor quickly pulls the length of the pole piece to ensure the tension in the process of pole piece conveying；

l The swing part adopts high-precision proportional valve, high-precision potentiometer and low friction cylinder to control the feeding synchronously；

l The screw rod is controlled by servo analog quantity, and the tension can be set according to the size of the pole piece；

2. Tab punching and forming device

l The upper and lower die punching adopts the scissor point contact mode；

l The servo driven crankshaft is used to complete the high-speed punching action of the die, and the pole piece is free of damage, powder dropping, sharp corners and other defects during the slicing process；

l The disassembly and installation of the die are simple, and the width of the pole piece is easy to adjust. It can meet the different sizes of pole pieces within a certain range, and the change time is less than 1 hour；

l A funnel-shaped waste collection device is installed under the mold, and the waste generated after punching and cutting can be immediately sucked into the funnel device and then collected into the waste recycling box (cleaning once per shift, cleaning time ≤ 5min)；

l Adopt servo control unequal distance feeding function；

l There is a tan guide wheel in front of the traction roller to prevent the tab from being discounted after die cutting. The guide wheel can be adjusted easily when changing the model；

l The two rollers are directly equipped with powder absorbing rollers to remove the dust accumulated during the traction of the rollers；

l The pressing roller is compressed automatically by air cylinder, which is convenient for threading.

4.Cutting mechanism

l  In the process of pole slice cutting, there is pre pressing function in the front and traction roller in the back to ensure the ductility of pole slice before cutting and the dimensional accuracy of pole slice powder cutting;

l When the electrode passes through the inlet end of the cleaning head, roll the driving brush to sweep the powder to remove the dust on the surface of the electrode；

l Subsequently, the pole piece receives internal negative pressure wind to absorb drift dust and dust on the brush wheel；

l Dust is collected in the negative pressure fan, which is easy to clean (once a month, cleaning time ≤ 5min).

l 1) Non contact dust removal

l adopt the non-contact dust removal method of high-pressure ion wind, which has good dust removal effect, high efficiency and high cost;

l Then, the electrode is affected by the turbulent air flow generated by the internal blowing and vacuum air flow of the cleaning head device；

l The effect of turbulent air flow leads to high-frequency fretting of the electrode；

l The combined action of high-frequency fretting and turbulent air flow of the electrode breaks the air interface layer on the surface of the pole piece, and at the same time, the pollutants released by the interface layer are sucked into the vacuum air flow；
