Abstract

This application provides a winding and unwinding device and a battery production system. The winding and unwinding device includes a turret, a driver, and a magnetic powder clutch. The turret includes a rotation shaft and at least one winding shaft, the rotation shaft being parallel to the winding shaft. A drive shaft of the magnetic powder clutch is connected to the driver and a driven shaft of the magnetic powder clutch is connected to the rotation shaft of the turret, such that the driver drives the rotation shaft of the turret to rotate. In this application, with the magnetic powder clutch disposed between the turret and the driver, after the turret rotates to a predetermined position, the rotation of the turret can be stopped without the need to cut off the power supply, ensuring the normal operation of the driver when the turret stops rotation, thus avoiding damage to the driver.

Claims (19)

1 . A winding and unwinding device, comprising:

a turret, wherein the turret comprises a rotation shaft and at least one winding shaft, and the rotation shaft is parallel to the winding shaft;

a driver; and

a magnetic powder clutch,

wherein a drive shaft of the magnetic powder clutch is connected to the driver, and a driven shaft of the magnetic powder clutch is connected to the rotation shaft of the turret, such that the driver drives the rotation shaft of the turret to rotate, and

wherein the turret further comprises a connection bracket connecting the at least one winding shaft to the rotation shaft, and the at least one winding shaft is rotatable with respect to the connection bracket;

wherein the winding and unwinding device further comprises a controller, the controller is electrically or communicatively connected to the magnetic powder clutch, and configured to control excitation current input to the magnetic powder clutch;

wherein the winding and unwinding device further comprises:

a fixed disk fixed to the rotation shaft of the turret; and

a stop member, the stop member being movable between a first position and a second position,

wherein in the first position the stop member is engaged with the fixed disk to stop the fixed disk from rotating, so as to stop the rotation shaft of the turret from rotating; and in the second position, the stop member disengages from the fixed disk, to allow rotation of the fixed disk, so as to allow rotation of the rotation shaft of the turret.

2 . The winding and unwinding device according to claim 1 , wherein the driver is connected to the drive shaft of the magnetic powder clutch via a chain, a belt, or a gear.

3 . The winding and unwinding device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the stop member comprises at least one stop cylinder, and the fixed disk comprises a hole for accommodating a protrudable portion of the stop cylinder,

wherein in the first position, the protrudable portion of the stop cylinder is accommodated in the hole; and in the second position, the protrudable portion of the stop cylinder disengages from the hole.

4 . The winding and unwinding device according to claim 3 , wherein the winding and unwinding device comprises a pair of stop cylinders parallel to a rotation axis of the rotation shaft and disposed on two sides of the rotation axis.

5 . The winding and unwinding device according to claim 4 , wherein the pair of stop cylinders are symmetrically disposed on two sides of the rotation axis.

6 . The winding and unwinding device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is further electrically or communicatively connected to the stop member to control the stop member to move between the first position and the second position.

7 . A battery production system, wherein the battery production system comprises the winding and unwinding device according to claim 1 .
