Abstract

A splicing device is provided, including: a punch plate and a counter plate arranged oppositely to the punch plate, the punch plate and the counter plate being relatively movable versus each other and configured to splice two sheets of material arrangeable in between the punch plate and the counter plate, the punch plate including an array of splicing protrusions and the counter plate including an array of splicing holes, the array of splicing holes including a number of splicing holes and the array of splicing protrusions including a number of splicing protrusions, a number of splicing holes being at least the same as a number of splicing protrusions, and a position of the splicing protrusions in the array of splicing protrusions corresponding to a position of the splicing holes in the array of splicing holes.
