Step 2: the top cover 3 is placed on the first clamp 4. Wherein the first clamp 4 is preferably arranged horizontally.
Step 3: the dry battery cell is placed on the second fixture 5, so that the battery cell 1 is obliquely arranged in a direction approaching the top cover 3. That is, the dry battery cells after ultrasonic welding are transferred to the second clamp 5 of the welding procedure of the switching sheet 2, the surface of the second clamp 5 can be obliquely arranged, the inclined included angle of the second clamp is adjustable, the second clamp 5 is arranged on two opposite sides of the first clamp 4, so that the two battery cells 1 of the dry battery cells can be respectively placed on the second clamp 5 on two sides of the first clamp 4, and each battery cell 1 is obliquely arranged relative to the top cover 3.
Step 4: the adapter piece 2 and the top cover 3 are welded together. Laser welding is preferred in this embodiment.
Wherein, step 1 can be interchanged with step 2, and step 2 can also be interchanged with step 3.
In this embodiment, because in the process of welding the dry battery cell to the top cover 3, the battery cell 1 is obliquely arranged, the distance between the edge 10 of the battery cell 1 and the top cover 3 can be reduced, so that the length of the tab 11 can be designed to be smaller, the width of a base material is reduced, the anomalies such as the tab 11 falling down, the tab 11 wrinkling, the tab 11 tearing and the like caused by the overlong tab 11 are reduced, the redundancy of the outer side of the tab 11 is reduced, the risk of short circuit caused by the insertion of the tab 11 is reduced, and the safety of the battery cell 1 is improved.
Referring to fig. 6, in some embodiments, before the step 1, before the tab 11 of the cell 1 and the interposer web 2 are welded together to form a dry cell, the method may further include: determining a first distance h 1 between the edge 10 of the battery cell 1, which is close to the tab 11, and the solder marks 12 of the tab 11; and adjusting the distance between the edge 10 of the battery cell 1, which is close to the tab 11, and the adapter piece 2 according to the first distance h 1. That is, before welding the tab 11, a first distance h 1 required between the welding mark 12 and the edge 10 of the battery cell 1 after welding the tab 11 can be calculated in advance, then the distance between the edge 10 of the battery cell 1, which is close to the tab 11, and the adapter plate 2 is adjusted to the required first distance h 1 before welding, so that the length of the tab 11 is reduced as much as possible under the condition that the welding and using requirements are met, and the adapter plate 2 is placed in a fixture in an ultrasonic welding process, the distance between the edge 10 of the battery cell 1, which is close to the tab 11, and the adapter plate 2 can be adjusted by adjusting the fixture of ultrasonic welding, and the fixture of ultrasonic welding can be adjusted in width according to the requirements; the first distance h 1 can be calculated by the distance between the outer edges of the two solder marks 12 and the thickness d of the cell 1.

That is, the value of the first distance h 1 can be calculated according to the related parameters when the conventionally designed battery cell 1 and the switch sheet 2 are horizontally placed, the conventionally designed battery cell 1 is horizontally placed, the top cover 3 is also horizontally placed, and the switch sheet 2 of the dry battery cell is welded and fixed with the top cover 3, in this conventionally designed scheme, the distance between the solder marks 12 of two opposite tabs 11 on the same switch sheet 2 is x, the width of the top cover 3 is L, the thickness of the battery cell 1 is d, and the width of the solder marks 12 is m, where the width L of the top cover 3, the thickness d of the battery cell 1, and the width m of the solder marks 12 in the conventionally designed scheme can be equal to the width L of the top cover 3, the thickness d of the battery cell 1, and the width m of the solder marks 12 in the obliquely arranged scheme of the application. After the distance x, the thickness d of the cell 1, and the width m of the solder 12 are obtained, the value of the first distance h 1 can be calculated by the formula h 1 = (x+2m-2 d)/2, where d=2t, t is half the thickness of a single winding core. Wherein the width of the adapter piece 2 is y; of course, the value of the first distance h 1 can also be calculated by the formula h 1=(k2-2h2 -2 d)/2, and since k 2-2h2 =x+2m, the value of (k 2-2h2) can also be calculated when the pitch x and the width m of the solder mark 12 are known.
Referring to fig. 4, in some alternative embodiments, before step 1, before the tab 11 of the battery cell 1 is welded with the interposer web 2 to form a dry battery cell, the method may further include: determining a first width W 1 of a pole piece substrate 13 in a pole piece 14 of the battery cell 1; and manufacturing the battery cell 1 by using the pole piece 14 with the first width W 1 of the pole piece substrate 13. That is, before the battery cell 1 is processed and manufactured, the width of the required pole piece substrate 13 is calculated in advance, so that the length of the tab 11 manufactured by the pole piece substrate 13 is ensured not to be too long. Before the battery cell 1 is manufactured, materials such as a top cover 3, a switching piece 2, a foil, and a diaphragm, which are required for design, may be prepared.
Further, referring to fig. 1,2 and 6, the determining the first width W 1 of the pole piece substrate 13 in the pole piece 14 of the electrical core 1 may include: when the battery cell 1 and the switching sheet 2 are horizontally placed and welded and fixed, the distance x between the welding marks 12 of the two electrode lugs 11 on the same switching sheet 2, the second width W 2 of the electrode sheet substrate 13 of the battery cell 1 and the second distance h 2 between the edge 10 of the battery cell 1 and the welding marks 12 of the corresponding electrode lug 11 are obtained; that is, the second width W 2 and the second distance h 2 are parameters corresponding to the cells 1 in the horizontal state; according to the distance x, the thickness d of the battery cell 1, the width m of the solder marks 12 on the tab 11, the second width W 2, and the second distance h 2, the first width W 1 may be calculated by first calculating the first distance h 1 between the edge 10 of the battery cell 1 and the solder marks 12 of the tab 11 when the battery cell 1 is obliquely arranged, where the first distance h 1 may be calculated by the above method, and is not described herein, and then calculating the first width W 1 by using the formula W 1=W2-(h2-h1), where h 2 is the distance between the edge 10 of the battery cell 1 and the solder marks 12 of the tab 11 when the battery cell 1 is horizontally arranged in the conventional scheme, that is, the second distance h 2.
Further, a first distance h 1 between the edge 10 of the inclined welding cell 1 and the welding mark 12 and a second distance h 2 between the edge 10 of the cell 1 and the welding mark 12 between traditional welding are 0 < h 1<h2, and a first width W 1=W2-(h2-h1)=W2 -n of the pole piece substrate 13.
Further, referring to fig. 6 and 7, the manufacturing the battery cell 1 by using the pole piece 14 with the first width W 1 of the pole piece substrate 13 may include: winding the pole piece 14 and the diaphragm into a winding core on winding equipment, wherein the width of a pole piece substrate 13 of the pole piece 14 is the first width W 1; the winding cores are combined together to form the battery cell 1, and then the battery cell 1 is bound by the adhesive tape 6 and then flows to an ultrasonic welding process. At this time, the formed cell 1, that is, the specification and the size of the cell 1 required in the subsequent oblique welding of the present application, is manufactured according to the pre-calculated width of the electrode sheet base material 13.
On the basis of the above technical solution, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, before the pole piece 14 and the diaphragm are wound into a winding core on the winding device, the method may further include: coating active substances on the foil to form the pole piece 14, wherein the pole piece substrate 13 of the pole piece 14 is the first width W 1; the pole piece base material 13 of the pole piece 14 is cut to form the pole lug 11, so that the length of the pole lug 11 is the first width W 1, and the length of the pole lug 11 formed after cutting is reduced compared with that of the traditional pole lug 11.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 8, the inclination angle θ between the battery cell 1 and the top cover 3 is an acute angle, and the value range of the inclination angle θ is calculated according to the width L of the top cover 3, the distance f between the tops of two battery cells 1 on two opposite sides of the top cover 3 when the battery cell 1 is placed obliquely, and the thickness d of the battery cell 1. In the embodiment, the value range of the inclination angle theta is 0 degrees less than theta (90-arccos [ (L-f)/4 d ] }, and the optimal value of theta is 18 degrees, so that the problem that the laser equipment emits light and cannot be welded due to the fact that the inclination angle theta is too large is avoided, and the core combination problem can be avoided. The minimum value of f is just the width of the welding duckbill device of the transfer sheet 2, and the duckbill device on the laser equipment is pressed down to the transfer sheet when the transfer sheet 2 is welded, so that the transfer sheet is ensured to be attached to the top cover 3 more closely, the welding effect is not influenced by the attachment, the minimum value of f is set to be just the width of the welding duckbill device of the transfer sheet 2 in the embodiment, and the duckbill device can be prevented from being pressed onto the winding core when being pressed down, so that scrapping is caused.
Further, referring to fig. 9, after the dry cell is welded to the top cover 3 in step 4, the dry cell may be core-bound into a case to complete the oblique welding process. The difference in distance n=h 2-h1 > 0 between the edge 10 of the cell 1 and the solder 12 after the oblique welding, where n is also the width of the foil that can be reduced by the oblique welding, i.e. the oblique welding according to the application can reduce the width of the pole piece substrate 13. And the relation between the internal space k 1 of the battery cell 1, the internal space k 2 of the battery cell 1 and the width L of the top cover 3 which are welded in a tilting way by adopting the application is k 1<L<k2, and the internal space of the battery cell 1 is effectively reduced by adopting the application.
A specific embodiment of the present application is given below:
For example, when the conventional cell 1 is horizontally arranged, the distance x=43 mm between the solder marks 12, the width m=6 mm of the solder marks 12, and the thickness d=17.8 mm of the cell 1 are adopted, then the first distance h 1 = (43+2×6-2×17.8)/2=9.7 mm from the edge 10 of the obliquely welded ultrasonic-welded cell 1 to the solder marks 12 of the tab 11; according to the second distance h 2 =14.7 mm between the edge 10 of the conventional ultrasonic-welded cell 1 and the solder mark 12 of the tab 11, the second width W 2 =31.5 mm of the pole piece base material 13, the first width W 1 =31.5- (14.7-9.7) =26.5 mm of the obliquely-welded pole piece base material 13, and the width reduction n=w 2-W1 =5.0 mm of the pole piece base material 13 can be obtained. The inclined welding pole piece 14 is wound into a battery core 1 through related procedures, the battery core 1 is bound to an ultrasonic welding procedure through an adhesive tape 6 during pairing, the first distance h 1 from the edge 10 of the battery core 1 to a welding mark 12 in the ultrasonic welding procedure is adjusted to be 9.7mm, and the tab 11 of the battery core 1 and the switching piece 2 are welded together through ultrasonic waves; the dry battery cell after ultrasonic welding is transferred to the second clamp 5 with the welding inclination angle theta=18 DEG of the switching piece 2, the switching piece 2 and the top cover 3 arranged on the first clamp 4 are welded together by adopting laser, the adhesive tape 6 is used for bundling the battery cell 1 after the battery cell 1 is combined, the redundancy of the outer electrode lug 11 of the battery cell 1 after the battery cell 1 is bundled in the diagram 9 can be reduced, the risk of inserting the electrode lug 11 into the battery cell 1 after the redundancy is reduced can be reduced, meanwhile, the reduction of the electrode lug 11 can be reduced, and the abnormal edge collapse, tearing and folding of the electrode lug 11 caused in the manufacturing process can be reduced.
Further, according to the schematic diagrams 6, 7 and 8, the internal space k 1 =9.7×2+43+2×6=74.4 mm of the cell 1 at this time, the internal space k 2 of the cell 1 of the conventional design is 84.4mm, and the width of the top cover 3 is 77.8mm. Under the condition of ensuring design requirements, the inclined welding process is adopted to optimize the length of the tab 11 and the redundancy of the tab 11, if the traditional horizontal placement welding process is adopted, the corresponding distance is limited by the width of the top cover 3 under the condition of reducing the corresponding distance, and the corresponding optimal design cannot be achieved.
