Abstract

This application relates to a winding and unwinding apparatus and a preparation system of electrode plate. The apparatus includes supports, a rotating shaft, a rotating turret, and a power assembly. The rotating shaft is rotatably disposed on the support. The rotating turret is disposed on the rotating shaft and capable of rotating along with the rotating shaft so as to switch between at least two target operation positions. The power assembly includes a first power source and a magnetic powder clutch. The rotating shaft and the first power source are in transmission connection with each other via the magnetic powder clutch. The magnetic powder clutch is configured to control the rotating shaft to remain stationary when the rotating turret is hovering at each target operation position.

Claims (20)

1 . A winding and unwinding apparatus, comprising:

a support;

a rotating shaft capable of being rotatably disposed on the support;

a rotating turret disposed on the rotating shaft and capable of rotating along with the rotating shaft so as to switch between at least two target operation positions, wherein the rotating turret is configured for mounting a winding drum; and

a power assembly disposed on the support and comprising a first power source and a magnetic powder clutch, wherein the rotating shaft and the first power source are in transmission connection with each other via the magnetic powder clutch, and the magnetic powder clutch is configured to control the rotating shaft to remain stationary when the rotating turret is hovering at each target operation position,

wherein the winding and unwinding apparatus further comprises a fastener and a positioning assembly, the fastener being fixed to the rotating shaft, the positioning assembly being disposed on the support, and the positioning assembly being configured to be capable of switching between a first state and a second state; wherein

the positioning assembly in the first state is capable of avoiding the fastener; and when the rotating shaft remains stationary, the positioning assembly is in the second state and is in non-rotatable connection with the fastener.

2 . The winding and unwinding apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the fastener has a positioning recess disposed in an axial direction of the rotating shaft; and

when in the first state, the positioning assembly exits the positioning recess, and when in the second state, the positioning assembly extends into the positioning recess.

3 . The winding and unwinding apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the positioning assembly comprises a fixing shaft and a second power source, the second power source being in transmission connection with the fixing shaft for controlling movement of the fixing shaft along the axial direction of the rotating shaft; wherein

when the positioning assembly is in the first state, the fixing shaft exits the positioning recess, and when the positioning assembly is in the second state, the fixing shaft extends into the positioning recess.

4 . The winding and unwinding apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the fastener is provided with a plurality of positioning recesses, all the positioning recesses being arranged around the axial direction of the rotating shaft.

5 . The winding and unwinding apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the target operation position is provided in two, and the two target operation positions are respectively located in two opposite radial directions of the rotating shaft.

6 . The winding and unwinding apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the rotating turret comprises a turret arm and a winding shaft, the turret arm being fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, the winding shaft being configured for mounting the winding drum and disposed at the turret arm, and the winding shaft being parallel to the rotating shaft.

7 . The winding and unwinding apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the rotating turret comprises at least two turret arms, all the turret arms being spaced apart along an axial direction of the rotating shaft, and the winding shaft being disposed between adjacent two of the turret arms.

8 . The winding and unwinding apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the winding shaft is provided in at least two, and all the winding shafts are arranged around the rotating shaft.

9 . The winding and unwinding apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the winding and unwinding apparatus comprises two supports, the two supports being spaced apart along an axial direction of the rotating shaft; and the rotating shaft is mounted between the two supports.

10 . A preparation system of electrode plate, wherein the preparation system of electrode plate comprises an unwinding device, a slitting device, and a winding device, the unwinding device, the slitting device, and the winding device being arranged in sequence along a material delivery path;

wherein the unwinding device and/or the winding device comprises the winding and unwinding apparatus according to claim 1 .

11 . The preparation system of electrode plate according to claim 10 , wherein the preparation system of electrode plate further comprises a rolling device, the rolling device having clearance between rolls for the material to penetrate, and the rolling device being arranged between the unwinding device and the winding device on the material delivery path.
