Semi-Automatic Precision Winding Machine for Lithium-ion Cylindrical Cells

1. Equipment Function Description:

This machine is primarily used for precision winding of cylindrical lithium-ion battery cells.
Working process: Manually feed cathode and anode sheets into the winding section, interleave with separator, wind as per process requirements, automatically apply termination tape, and automatically discharge the wound cell.

2. Equipment Functions and Features

1. Single-needle through-shaft winding configuration.
2. Manual electrode feeding, with automatic winding, automatic needle replacement, automatic termination taping, and automatic discharging.
3. Lateral taping approach (termination tape perpendicular to tab); tape application is smooth and precise without over-tightening the cell; taping is reliable and stable.
4. Adjustable winding speed.
5. Two active separator rolls, featuring proximity switch-controlled tension technology for smooth automatic tension adjustment during winding; both upper and lower tensions are adjustable.
6. Separator with outer-wrap termination.
7. Wound cells are free from damage, core extraction issues, or misalignment.
8. User-friendly operation, with quick and easy specification adjustment.

3. Process Flow

This equipment complies with cylindrical lithium-ion battery winding standards: separator fully wraps the anode, and anode wraps the cathode.

Process steps:

1. Separator pre-winding: toothed blade technology reduces pre-wound separator length.

2. Feed anode: manually feed into the winding section.

3. Feed cathode: manually feed into the winding section.

4. Winding.

5. Position transfer.

6. Separator cutting, termination taping, and discharging.

4. Equipment Composition

1. The equipment includes a winding device, position shifting unit, separator unwinding unit, electrode guiding unit, taping unit, discharging unit, and control system.

2. Winding device (2 sets): single-head through-shaft structure ensures accuracy; easy needle replacement.

3. Position shifting unit (1 set): switches between winding and taping stations.

4. Separator unwinding unit (2 sets): active unwinding with pneumatic tension control.

5. Electrode guiding unit (2 sets): single-sided adjustment, easy to operate.

6. Taping and discharging unit (1 set).
