The welding strips 1 are preferably arranged in a parallel and staggered manner as shown in fig. 1, any welding strip 1 is a welding strip section, and two ends of the welding strip section are connected with the positive electrode and the negative electrode of two adjacent battery pieces 2.
In the present embodiment, the adhesive film is preferably a flexible film with adhesive property, such as a hot-melt adhesive film, which is hot-melt adhered to the back surface of the battery plate 2 by heating and then cooling to solidify, so as to fix the solder strip 1 and the battery plate 2. When the hot melt adhesive film is heated, the heating temperature can be 20-200 ℃. The material of the hot melt adhesive film may be ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA for short), polyethylene oxide (POE for short), polyvinylidene chloride (PVD for short), polyamide (PA for short), polyether sulfone resin (PES for short), ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer (PO for short), thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU for short), polyvinyl butyral (PVB) for short, or the like.

The integral continuous adhesive film 3 is directly laid on and covers the back of the whole string of battery strings 100, and has the advantages of convenient and fast production and less improvement on the existing equipment.
Further, the adhesive film sheet in this embodiment may further include at least two separated single-piece adhesive film sheets 4. The area relationship between the single-piece adhesive film 4 and the battery piece 2 is different, and the laying manner of the single-piece adhesive film 4 is different, which includes the following cases:
(1) when the area of the single-piece gluing film 4 is larger than that of the single-piece battery piece 2, any one of the single-piece gluing film 4 can cover at least one battery piece 2, generally, one single-piece gluing film 4 covers a plurality of whole battery pieces 2 at the same time, or can cover a part of a subsequent battery piece 2 after covering at least one whole battery piece 2 according to actual conditions. In a whole string of battery cluster, need lay two piece at least monolithic and glue even diaphragm 4, two arbitrary monolithic are glued even diaphragm 4's area and can be the same, also can be different, but the interval setting between two arbitrary adjacent monolithic is glued even diaphragm 4, and the interval that forms between two adjacent monolithic is glued even diaphragm 4 can be located battery piece 2, also can be located the clearance department between two adjacent battery pieces 2.
Generally, the battery pieces 2 are rectangular and are sequentially arranged in series along the width direction, the single-piece adhesive film piece 4 is correspondingly arranged in a rectangular shape, the width of the single-piece adhesive film piece 4 is the same as or slightly shorter than the length of the battery pieces 2, when the battery piece is laid, the short side (i.e. one side in the width direction) of the single-piece adhesive film piece 4 corresponds to the long side of the battery pieces 2, and the long side (i.e. one side in the length direction) of the single-piece adhesive film piece 4 extends along the arrangement direction of the plurality of battery pieces 2, i.e. the single-piece adhesive film piece 4 can cover more than one battery piece 2 in the length direction. The area of the single-piece gluing film 4 is larger than that of the single-piece battery piece 2, and the length of the long side of the single-piece gluing film 4 is larger than that of the short side of the single-piece battery piece 2.

(2) When the area of the single-piece adhesive film 4 is equal to the area of the single-piece battery piece 2, the single-piece adhesive film 4 is preferably arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the battery pieces 2, that is, one single-piece adhesive film 4 is arranged on each battery piece 2. In this case, the number of the single-piece adhesive film sheets 4 in the whole string of battery cells is the same as the number of the battery sheets 2, and gaps generally exist between the adjacent battery sheets 2, and the existence of the gaps also causes a gap to exist between the adjacent single-piece adhesive film sheets 4, that is, the gap between any two adjacent battery sheets 2 is not covered by the single-piece adhesive film sheet 4.
Generally, the battery pieces 2 are rectangular and are sequentially arranged in series along the width direction, the single-piece adhesive film pieces 4 are correspondingly arranged in a rectangular shape, when the battery pieces are laid, the long edges of the single-piece adhesive film pieces 4 correspond to the long edges of the battery pieces 3, and the short edges of the single-piece adhesive film pieces 4 correspond to the short edges of the battery pieces 3. When the area of the single-piece gluing membrane 4 is equal to that of the single-piece battery piece 2, the length direction of the single-piece gluing membrane 4 is always perpendicular to the extending direction of the welding strip 1.
This kind of monolithic formula is glued and is linked diaphragm 4's form that sets up compares above-mentioned (1) the monolithic formula and glues even diaphragm 4, when having ensured the fixed effect to welding strip 1, owing to lay the spaced quantity and further increase, so can save the membrane quantity more, and then more can reduction in production cost.
(3) When the area of the single-piece adhesive film 4 is smaller than that of the single-piece battery piece 2, one or more than one single-piece adhesive film 4 can be arranged on any one battery piece 2.

However, when the area of the single-piece adhesive film 4 is greatly different from the area of the single-piece battery piece 2, the single-piece adhesive film 4 is in a strip shape relative to the battery piece 2, and in order to ensure the fixing effect on the welding strip 1, at least two strip-shaped single-piece adhesive films 4 are preferably arranged on any one battery piece 2. Compared with the single-sheet adhesive film 4 in the step (2), the single-sheet adhesive film 4 has the advantages that the fixing effect on the welding strip 1 is ensured, and the number of the laying intervals is further increased, so that the film consumption can be further reduced, and the production cost is further reduced.
In the actual production process, the battery piece 2 is in a rectangular structure, the corresponding single-piece adhesive film piece 4 is also preferably rectangular, in this case, the area of the single-piece adhesive film piece 4 is preferably smaller than or equal to that of the battery piece 2, and the single-piece adhesive film pieces 4 are all laid perpendicular to the welding strips 1, except that the coverage areas of the single-piece adhesive film pieces 4 with different areas to the welding strips 1 are different along the width direction of the battery piece 2.
