Notching Apparatus and Method of Electrode Substrate - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18032405 titled 'Notching Apparatus and Method of Electrode Substrate

Simplified Explanation

- The patent application describes a notching apparatus and method for an electrode substrate. - The purpose of the invention is to address the issue of contamination of an electrode current collector during the notching process. - The apparatus includes a die member and a punch member. - The electrode substrate is placed on the die member, and the punch member moves up and down towards the die member. - The punch member has a punch with one or more punching oil supply holes on its wall surface. - The punching oil is applied to the outer surface of the punch through these holes. - This helps prevent contamination of the electrode current collector by forming a barrier of punching oil. - Additionally, the holes in the punch allow for the discharge of any foreign objects generated during the punching process. - Overall, the invention aims to improve the efficiency and cleanliness of the notching process for electrode substrates.


Original Abstract Submitted

A notching apparatus and method for an electrode substrate can improve the conventional problem of contamination of an electrode current collector by forming a punching oil supply hole in a punch and applying the punching oil to a wall surface of the punch through the punching oil supply hole, and can also discharge foreign objects generated when punching an electrode through the hole formed in the punch. The notching apparatus for the electrode substrate includes a die member on which the electrode substrate is disposed; and a punch member provided to be spaced above the die member and provided with a punch that moves up and down toward the die member. A wall surface of the punch is provided with one or more punching oil supply holes for applying the punching oil to an outer surface of the punch.
