each ridge is provided with a first part and a second part which are sequentially arranged in the extension direction of the ridge, wherein a surface, away from an axis of the roller body, of the first part is provided with a first thread structure, a surface, away from an axis of the roller body, of the second part is provided with a second thread structure, and a rotation direction of the first thread structure is opposite to a rotation direction of the second thread structure;
the first thread structure on the first parts of the ridges are the same in rotation direction, and the second thread structure on the second parts of the ridges are the same in rotation direction; and
the plurality of ridges are sequentially arranged at intervals in a rotation direction of the roller body, a number of teeth of the first thread structure on the first parts located on the plurality of ridges sequentially arranged at intervals are sequentially increased, and a number of teeth of the second thread structure on the second parts located on the plurality of ridges sequentially arranged at intervals are sequentially increased.

2. The nip roller according to claim 1 , wherein dimensions of the first thread structure and the second thread structure in the radial direction of the roller body are all 1 μm-5 μm.

3. The nip roller according to claim 2 , wherein in any of the ridges, a maximum interval between surfaces, away from the axis of the roller body, of the first thread structure and the axis of the roller body is a first interval, a maximum interval between surfaces, away from the axis of the roller body, of the second thread structure and the axis of the roller body is a second interval, and the first interval is equal to the second interval.

4. The nip roller according to claim 2 , wherein in any of the ridges, an outer surface, away from the axis of the roller body, of the ridge is a cambered surface, and intervals between all parts of the cambered surface and the axis of the roller body are the same.

5. The nip roller according to claim 2 , wherein the plurality of first parts are sequentially arranged at intervals in a circumferential direction of the roller body; and the plurality of second parts are sequentially arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the roller body.

6. The nip roller according to claim 1 , wherein the nip roller satisfies at least one of:

in any of the ridges, the number of teeth of the first thread structure on the first part is smaller than the number of teeth of the second thread structure on the second part.

7. The nip roller according to claim 6 , wherein in any of the ridges, a maximum interval between surfaces, away from the axis of the roller body, of the first threads first thread structure and the axis of the roller body is a first interval, a maximum interval between surfaces, away from the axis of the roller body, of the second thread structure and the axis of the roller body is a second interval, and the first interval is equal to the second interval.

8. The nip roller according to claim 6 , wherein in any of the ridges, an outer surface, away from the axis of the roller body, of the ridge is a cambered surface, and intervals between all parts of the cambered surface and the axis of the roller body are the same.

9. The nip roller according to claim 6 , wherein the plurality of first parts are sequentially arranged at intervals in a circumferential direction of the roller body; and the plurality of second parts are sequentially arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the roller body.

10. The nip roller according to claim 1 , wherein the nip roller satisfies at least one of:
in any of the ridges, a dimension of the first part in the extension direction of the ridge is equal to a dimension of the second part in the extension direction of the ridge; and
in any of the ridges, the number of teeth of the first thread structure on the first part is equal to the number of teeth of the second thread structure on the second part.

11. The nip roller according to claim 10 , wherein in any of the ridges, a maximum interval between surfaces, away from the axis of the roller body, of the first thread structure and the axis of the roller body is a first interval, a maximum interval between surfaces, away from the axis of the roller body, of the second thread structure and the axis of the roller body is a second interval, and the first interval is equal to the second interval.

12. The nip roller according to claim 10 , wherein in any of the ridges, an outer surface, away from the axis of the roller body, of the ridge is a cambered surface, and intervals between all parts of the cambered surface and the axis of the roller body are the same.

13. The nip roller according to claim 10 , wherein the plurality of first parts are sequentially arranged at intervals in a circumferential direction of the roller body; and the plurality of second parts are sequentially arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the roller body.

14.
