The details of which are described below in connection with specific figures and examples.
To facilitate understanding of the cutting mechanism provided in the embodiments of the present application, the current collector extension portion cut by the cutting mechanism is first described. Referring to fig. 1, a structure of a cell is illustrated in fig. 1, and the cell includes a plate group and a current collector extension group 20. The pole piece group comprises a current collector group, the current collector group comprises a plurality of current collectors 10, and the current collectors 10 serve as carriers for bearing active materials in the pole pieces of the battery core. When the pole piece group of the battery cell comprises a plurality of positive pole pieces and a plurality of negative pole pieces, the positive pole pieces and the negative pole pieces are alternately stacked. Correspondingly, the current collector set comprises a positive current collector and a negative current collector, and the positive current collector and the negative current collector are alternately stacked.

The current collector extension group 20 includes a plurality of current collector extensions 21 disposed in a stacked manner, and for convenience of description, a stacking direction or a thickness direction of the plurality of current collector extensions 21 is defined as a first direction. The current collector extension 21 is a protrusion extending from the current collector 10, that is, the protrusion and the current collector 10 are an integral structure. In forming the current collector extension set 20, the plurality of current collector extensions 21 are connected by metal bonding, thereby forming an integral structure. For example, the metal bonding between the current collector extensions 21 may be formed by cold welding or hot welding.
When the battery is connected to an external circuit, the current collector extension group 20 is configured to be electrically connected to a conductor outside the battery, that is, the current collector extension group 20 is configured to be connected to the external circuit of the battery. Illustratively, when the battery is assembled, the current collector extension set 20 extends at least partially out of the package of the battery, which is used to encapsulate the pole pieces, when the battery includes the package.
When the battery includes a casing for accommodating the battery cell, the current collector extension group 20 at least partially extends out of the casing of the battery, and the portion of the current collector extension group 20 exposed out of the casing is used for connecting with a circuit outside the battery. Of course, the current collector extension group 20 provided in the embodiment of the present application may also be used as a structure connected with an external tab. At this point, when assembled, the set of current collector extensions 20 is positioned within the case and the tabs are welded to the set of current collector extensions 20 and extend outside the case for connection to a circuit external to the battery. It should be noted that the structure of the current collector extension group 20 is not limited to the above example, the extension length and the number of stacked layers of the current collector extension group 20 are not limited herein, and the current collector extension group 20 may be configured other than the above example, and may be cut by using the cutting mechanism described in the present application.

After welding, the sealant 30 is applied on the current collector extension group 20, and an encapsulation film 40 is encapsulated, where the encapsulation film 40 may be an aluminum-plastic film, so as to complete the preparation of the battery cell. The encapsulation film 40 applies an area of the sealant 30 when the encapsulation film 40 encapsulates the current collector 10.
Referring to fig. 3, in order to ensure the safety of the welding gun, a part of the non-welded area is left at the edge of the current collector extension group 20 during welding. At this time, the current collector extension 21 may be divided into a welded area 211 and an unwelded area 213. The welded area 211 and the non-welded area 213 are distinguished by a dotted line. The cutting mechanism provided by the embodiment of the present application is used to cut and trim the edge of the current collector extension set 20, and the cutting area is the area to be cut 212 shown in fig. 3. The cutting mechanism provided by the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below with reference to specific drawings.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 2 shows a schematic structural diagram of a cutting mechanism provided in the present application according to an embodiment of the present application. The cutting mechanism provided by the embodiment of the present application may include a side cutting assembly, and the main structure of the side cutting assembly includes two parts, namely a clamping assembly 100 and a side cutter 200. Wherein the clamping assembly 100 is used for clamping and fixing the current collector extension group, and the side cutter 200 is used for cutting the side of the current collector extension group clamped and fixed by the clamping assembly 100 along the first direction.
Compare in prior art just to the upside plastic of mass flow body extension group (the pole piece leaks the foil material outward promptly), can not handle its both sides, this application is through using the both sides that the side cutter amputates mass flow body extension group for utmost point ear manufacturing process and utmost point ear structure all improve to some extent. The side cutter is used for cutting off two sides of the pre-welded current collector extension part group, and therefore bad phenomena of insufficient soldering/deep-fried soldering and the like at the welding edge position are avoided or reduced. In addition, the two sides of the current collector extension part group are subjected to shaping treatment, the edges of the two sides are neat and flat, the adhesive tape sticking process is convenient to carry out, and the packaging effect is ensured.
The following detailed description is to be read with reference to the figures.
The clamping assembly 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application includes a first pressing plate 110 and a second pressing plate 120, wherein a space for accommodating the current collector extension group is formed between the first pressing plate 110 and the second pressing plate 120.
When the first and second pressing plates 110 and 120 are specifically provided, the first and second pressing plates 110 and 120 are spaced apart in the first direction. And at least one of the first and second platens 110, 120 is movable relative to the other such that the first and second platens 110, 120 can clamp the set of fixed current collector extensions.
Illustratively, in one possible embodiment, the second platen 120 is a stationary platen, the first platen 110 is a moving platen, and the direction of movement of the first platen 110 is in a first direction. When clamping the current collector extension group, the first pressing plate 110 is first moved away from the second pressing plate 120 so that the space between the two is increased.
Referring to fig. 5 together, fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram illustrating the cutting mechanism cutting the current collector extension group. When using the cutting mechanism, the current collector extension group 20 is first placed on the first pressure plate 110, and then the second pressure plate 120 is moved toward the first pressure plate 110, and the current collector extension group 20 is clamped between the first pressure plate 110 and the second pressure plate 120. Wherein the first pressing plate 110 can be driven by a driving mechanism. For example, the driving mechanism can be a motor, a hydraulic cylinder, or a pneumatic cylinder. It should be appreciated that the above-described drive mechanism may provide a pressing force of the first pressing plate 110 to press the plurality of current collector extensions between the first pressing plate 110 and the second pressing plate 120 to fix the current collector extension set 20.
In the present embodiment, the clamping assembly 100 is provided with a channel 130; the passages 130 are configured to expose the sides of the current collector extension sets to be cut (the areas 212 to be cut shown in fig. 3). For example, when the clamping assembly 100 clamps the current collector extension assembly, the side of the current collector extension assembly that needs to be cut may be exposed within the channel 130. When the side cutter 200 is cutting the side of the current collector extension group, the side cutter 200 may move in the first direction within the passage 130 to cut the side of the current collector extension group.
When the channels 130 are specifically arranged, the number of the channels 130 is two, and the two channels 130 are arranged at intervals; and respectively correspond to two side edges of the current collector extension part group. When the number of the passages 130 is two, the number of the corresponding side cutters 200 may be one or two.
When the number of the side cutters 200 is one, the side cutters 200 may alternatively move in one of the channels 130 in the first direction. In a particular cut, the side cutters 200 may first cut a side edge of the set of current collection extensions within one of the channels 130. After the cutting is completed, the side cutter 200 enters another passage 130 again to cut, so as to respectively cut the two side edges of the current collector extension portion. In this case, both sides of the side cutter have cutting edge structures, the shape of which is mirror symmetrical about the midline of the side cutter.
When the number of the side cutters 200 is two, the two side cutters 200 may move in the first direction in the two channels 130 in one-to-one correspondence. That is, the two side cutters 200 may be inserted into the two passages 130, respectively, to cut. In this case, both side cutters have cutting edge structures on their sides which are adjacent to each other, the shape of both cutting edge structures being mirror-symmetrical about the median line of the two side cutters. Therefore, the cutting of the side edge of the current collector extension part group can be completed through one-time cutting, and the cutting effect is improved.
As one example, when the clamping assembly 100 includes the first and second platens 110, 120 described above, the channels 130 can be formed on the first and second platens 110, 120 by different structures.
Illustratively, in one embodiment, the first pressing plate 110 is provided with a first through hole 131, and the second pressing plate 120 is provided with a second through hole 132; the first through holes 131 and the second through holes 132 are arranged at intervals along a first direction; the inner cavity between the first through hole 131 and the second through hole 132 is a part of the channel 130. When the first through hole 131 and the second through hole 132 are specifically provided, the first through hole 131 and the second through hole 132 may be long waist-shaped holes, and the first through hole 131 and the second through hole 132 are oppositely provided along the first direction and are arranged at two sides of the current collector extension group in the stacking direction.
The first through hole 131, the second through hole 132, and the first through hole 131 and the second through hole 132 form the channel 130. In the case of using one side cutter 200, both sides of the side cutter 200 are provided with cutting edge structures having mirror-symmetrical shapes about their own axes. When the side cutter 200 moves in the first direction in the passage 130, it is first inserted into the first through hole 131, and when the side cutter 200 continues to move in the first direction, it cuts the side of the current collector extension group and enters the second through hole 132 after the cutting is completed.
It should be understood that when the first through hole 131 and the second through hole 132 are provided, it should be ensured that the side edge to be cut of the current collector extension group is located in the first through hole 131 and the second through hole 132, that is, the vertical projection of the side edge to be cut along the first direction is located in the first through hole 131 and the second through hole 132, so as to ensure that the side edge to be cut of the current collector extension group can be cut when the side cutter 200 moves in the first through hole 131 and the second through hole 132.
When the side cutter 200 moves in the first direction, the moving direction of the side cutter 200 may be defined by the sidewalls of the first and second through holes 131 and 132, that is, the side cutter 200 is pressed against the sidewalls of the first and second through holes 131 and 132, so as to ensure stability in cutting.
As a variation, the channel 130 provided in the embodiment of the present application may be formed in other structures. Illustratively, the first pressing plate 110 is provided with a first notch, and the second pressing plate 120 is provided with a second notch; the first notches and the second notches are arranged at intervals along a first direction; the lumen between the first and second indentations is part of the channel 130. When specifically setting up first breach and second breach, first breach and second breach can be long waist type hole, and first breach and second breach set up along first direction relatively to be listed as in the both sides of the range upon range of direction of mass flow body extension group.
The first notch, the second notch, and the first notch and the second notch form the channel 130. When the side cutter 200 moves in the first direction in the passage 130, it is first inserted into the first notch, and when the side cutter 200 continues to move in the first direction, it cuts the side edge of the current collector extension group and enters the second notch after the cutting is completed.
It should be understood that, when the first notch and the second notch are provided, it should be ensured that the side to be cut of the current collector extension group is located in the first notch and the second notch, that is, the vertical projection of the side to be cut along the first direction is located in the first notch and the second notch, so as to ensure that the side to be cut of the current collector extension group can be cut when the side cutter 200 moves in the first notch and the second notch.
When the channel 130 is formed by the notch, the side cutter 200 may also be supported by the side wall of the notch to ensure stability during cutting, which will not be described in detail herein.
The side cutter 200 may move in a first direction by the side cutter 200 when cutting the current collector extension to cut the plurality of current collector extensions. When the side cutter 200 is driven to move, the side cutter can be driven by a driving mechanism, the driving mechanism can be a hydraulic cylinder or an air cylinder, and the side cutter 200 is fixedly connected with a piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder or the air cylinder so as to realize the reciprocating movement of the side cutter 200 in the first direction through the expansion and contraction of the piston rod. It should be understood that the driving mechanism may be other linear driving mechanisms besides the above-mentioned hydraulic cylinder or air cylinder, and is not particularly limited in the embodiments of the present application.
When the side cutter 200 specifically cuts the current collector extension part, the cutting metal burr is less than or equal to 50 μm, so that the side edge of the cut current collector extension part group meets the burr standard, and the current collector extension part group meets the heat-seal adhesive coating standard.
The side cutter 200 provided by the embodiment of the present application can adopt side cutters 200 with different cutting edges, and the following description is made with reference to specific drawings.
Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 shows a schematic view of the structure of the side cutter. The side cutter 200 provided in the embodiment of the present application has a straight cutting edge 210 and a first arc cutting edge 220 connected to the straight cutting edge 210, wherein the straight cutting edge 210 and the first arc cutting edge 220 are located at one end of the side cutter 200 close to the current collector.
When the linear cutting edge 210 is specifically disposed, the length direction of the linear cutting edge 210 is along the length direction of the side of the current collector extension part, and the linear cutting edge is disposed in a manner parallel or approximately parallel to the length direction of the side. So that the straight cutting edge 210 can cut the side edge of the current collector extension.
The first arc cutting edge 220 is a cutting edge for cutting the connection portion of the current collector extension and the current collector. In particular arrangements, the first curved cutting edge 220 is a curved cutting edge with a convex curve. The arc line cutting edge with the arc line protruding outwards refers to the arc line protruding outwards and faces the current collector extension part, the first arc line cutting edge 220 can form an inwards concave fillet at the connection part of the current collector extension part and the current collector, so that arc transition can be adopted between the side edge of the current collector extension part group and the current collector, the formation of a tip at the connection part of the side edge of the current collector extension part group and the current collector is avoided, and the current collector extension part group meets the heat seal adhesive coating standard; cut out fillet structure and cut out right angle structure and compare, be difficult for producing metal fragments, avoid because of the internal short circuit phenomenon that metal fragments produced. The side edge of the current collector extension group adopts arc transition, so that potential safety hazards caused by sharp corners of the current collector extension group in the battery core, such as puncture of an aluminum plastic film, can be prevented.
It should be appreciated that the straight cutting edge 210 is rounded at the junction with the first curved cutting edge 220. It can be understood that the straight cutting edge 210 is a tangent line to the end of the first arc cutting edge 220 connected to the straight cutting edge 210, so as to ensure that the junction between the two cutting edges does not form a sharp protrusion or depression at the edge of the current collector extension group during cutting.
Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a modified structure of the side cutter 200 shown in fig. 6. The side cutter 200 shown in fig. 7 may further include a second curved cutting edge 230 in addition to the straight cutting edge 210 and the first curved cutting edge 220 described above, the second curved cutting edge 230 being connected to the first curved cutting edge 220 and located on a side of the first curved cutting edge 220 facing away from the straight cutting edge 210. That is, when provided, the first curved cutting edge 220 is located between the straight cutting edge 210 and the second curved cutting edge 230.
In the embodiment of the present application, the second arc cutting edge 230 is an arc cutting edge with an arc concave inwards. That is, the concave direction of the second arc cutting edge 230 faces the current collector extension group, so that when the current collector extension group is cut, a convex fillet transition can be formed at the edge of the current collector extension group. It should be understood that the junction between the first arc cutting edge 220 and the second arc cutting edge 230 is an arc transition, so as to avoid the formation of a tip at the junction therebetween, ensure that the side of the cut current collector extension group is a smooth side, and avoid the formation of a tip protrusion after cutting.
As an alternative, the first curved cutting edge 220 and the second curved cutting edge 230 may be directly connected, or may be connected by a straight cutting edge 210. The embodiments of the present application are not particularly limited.
As an alternative, the first arc cutting edge 220 may be a circular cutting edge to form a circular corner when cutting the current collector extension group. When the current collector extension group is specifically cut, the first arc cutting edge 220 may cut an arc at a position of the current collector extension group, which is close to 1-10mm of the current collector. Such as 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 10mm, and the like. As shown in FIG. 8, the radius of the arc curvature of the first arcuate transition angle 214 formed when cutting may be between 1 and 10mm.
