Abstract

Provided are a marking device and an electrode sheet production system. The marking device includes a vibration mechanism and a cutter head. The vibration mechanism is provided on a side of the electrode sheet provided with the active material layer along the thickness direction of the electrode sheet. The cutter head is connected to the vibration mechanism and the cutter head extends in a width direction of the electrode sheet. The vibration mechanism is configured to drive the cutter head to vibrate in a thickness direction of the electrode sheet and to allow the cutter head to contact the electrode sheet, thus forming a score on the electrode sheet.

Claims (45)

1 . A marking device, configured for making scores on an electrode sheet, wherein the electrode sheet comprises a current collector and an active material layer; at least one side of the current collector is provided with the active material layer along a thickness direction of the electrode sheet; and the marking device comprises:

a vibration mechanism, provided on a side of the electrode sheet provided with the active material layer along the thickness direction; and

a cutter head, connected to the vibration mechanism, wherein the cutter head extends in a width direction of the electrode sheet; and the vibration mechanism is configured to drive the cutter head to vibrate in the thickness direction and to allow the cutter head to contact the electrode sheet, to form a score on the electrode sheet.

2 . The marking device according to claim 1 , wherein the cutter head is configured to vibrate in the thickness direction and contact the active material layer so as to reduce or remove the active material layer from an extruded part and form the score.

3 . The marking device according to claim 1 , the cutter head is detachably connected to the vibration mechanism.

4 . The marking device according to claim 1 , wherein the vibration mechanism is an ultrasonic transducer.

5 . The marking device according to claim 1 , wherein the marking device further comprises:

a mounting bracket, wherein the vibration mechanism, along the thickness direction, is provided on the mounting bracket in a positionally adjustable manner so as to adjust a distance between the cutter head and the electrode sheet.

6 . The marking device according to claim 5 , wherein the marking device further comprises:

an adjusting mechanism, connected to the vibration mechanism, wherein the adjusting mechanism is configured to drive the vibration mechanism to move relative to the mounting bracket along the thickness direction, so as to drive the cutter head closer to or further away from the electrode sheet.

7 . The marking device according to claim 1 , wherein the active material layer is provided on both sides of the current collector along the thickness direction; and

the marking device comprises:

two vibration mechanisms, each provided on each side of the electrode sheet along the thickness direction; and

two cutter heads, each connected to one of the two vibration mechanisms to form the score on both sides of the electrode sheet.

8 . The marking device according to claim 7 , the two cutter heads are provided at intervals along a conveying direction of the electrode sheet.

9 . The marking device according to claim 1 , wherein the marking device further comprises:

a support member, provided in one-to-one correspondence with the cutter head, wherein the support member and the cutter head are oppositely arranged on two sides of the electrode sheet along the thickness direction, and the support member is configured to support the electrode sheet.

10 . The marking device according to claim 7 , wherein the two cutter heads are oppositely provided along the thickness direction; and

a distance between the two cutter heads along the thickness direction is greater than a thickness of the electrode sheet.

11 . An electrode sheet production system, comprising:

the marking device according to claim 1 ; and

a conveying device, configured for conveying the electrode sheet.

12 . The electrode sheet production system according to claim 11 , wherein the electrode sheet production system further comprises:

13 . The electrode sheet production system according to claim 12 , wherein the dust removal device comprises:

a support roller; and

an ultrasonic duster, wherein the ultrasonic duster and the support roller are oppositely arranged on two sides of the electrode sheet along the thickness direction of the electrode sheet, and the ultrasonic duster and the cutter head are arranged on the same side of the electrode sheet.

14 . The electrode sheet production system according to claim 13 , wherein the electrode sheet production system comprises:

two dust removal devices, wherein the two dust removal devices are arranged at intervals along the conveying direction, and ultrasonic dusters of the two dust removal devices are respectively arranged on each side of the electrode sheet along the thickness direction.

15 . The electrode sheet production system according to claim 11 , wherein the electrode sheet production system further comprises:

a labeling device, provided upstream to the marking device along the conveying direction of the electrode sheet, wherein the labeling device is configured to form a label on the electrode sheet at a location to be marked; and

a detecting device, provided between the labeling device and the marking device along the conveying direction, wherein the detecting device is configured to detect the label and generate a control signal; and the marking device is configured to form the score at the location to be marked according to the control signal.

16 . The electrode sheet production system according to claim 15 , wherein the labeling device comprises:

a hole-making mechanism, configured to form an identification hole on the electrode sheet at the location to be marked, and the detecting device is configured to detect the identification hole and generate the control signal.

17 . The marking device according to claim 2 , wherein the marking device further comprises:

a mounting bracket, wherein the vibration mechanism, along the thickness direction, is provided on the mounting bracket in a positionally adjustable manner so as to adjust a distance between the cutter head and the electrode sheet.

18 . The marking device according to claim 2 , wherein the active material layer is provided on both sides of the current collector along the thickness direction; and

the marking device comprises:

two vibration mechanisms, each provided on each side of the electrode sheet along the thickness direction; and

two cutter heads, each connected to one of the two vibration mechanisms to form the score on both sides of the electrode sheet.

19 . The marking device according to claim 2 , wherein the marking device further comprises:
