Background
With the advancement of mobile device technology, the demand for rechargeable batteries is increasing. Low-capacity rechargeable batteries may be used for mobile phones, notebook computers, portable cameras, etc., and high-capacity rechargeable batteries may be used for power sources of electric vehicles, etc.
Lithium ion power batteries are widely used in the field of electric vehicles. The mainstream lithium ion power battery in the industry mainly comprises three types, namely a square type, a soft package type, a cylindrical type and the like. The biggest characteristics in the laminate polymer battery structure lie in using the plastic-aluminum complex film as packaging material, and main advantage includes: 1) the aluminum plastic film is externally packaged, so that explosion cannot easily occur, and the safety performance is high; 2) the aluminum plastic film has light weight and high space utilization rate, so the energy density is high; 3) the battery has small internal resistance and longer service life, so the cycle performance is good. In recent years, pouch batteries have been developed at a high rate.
The soft package battery needs to be packaged by a heat seal package during production. The package is divided into a top seal and a side seal. Wherein, the top seal means: and packaging the top surface of the battery cell with the pole lug. The side seal means: two side surfaces adjacent to the top surface are encapsulated. At present, the capping head that laminate polymer battery used, what domestic was used all is a structure: the packaging surface is provided with a polar lug groove. When the structure is used for manufacturing a large battery (namely, the battery is large in thickness), like a power soft package battery, glue is easily extruded at the connecting part of the top seal and the two side seals, and holes are easily formed under the molten glue, so that an aluminum plastic film is corroded; in addition, at the connecting part of the top seal and the side seal, the aluminum-plastic film is seriously wrinkled, so that the inside and the outside of the battery are easily communicated, and water vapor enters the battery. Most importantly, when the battery is shaped in the post process, the places with serious wrinkles are easy to cause corner damage, and the battery is scrapped.
Therefore, it is necessary to design a sealing head to solve the technical problem of serious glue squeezing and wrinkling at the same side sealing connection part of the top seal in the conventional soft package battery packaging.

For top seal homonymy seal juncture easily appears crowded glue and beat the serious technical problem of wrinkle in solving current laminate polymer battery encapsulation, the utility model provides a head. Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a sealing head 100 according to an embodiment of the present application. The sealing head 100 can be used for sealing a top of a soft package battery, and packaging a battery core of the soft package battery in a packaging bag of the soft package battery. The packaging bag can be an aluminum plastic film packaging bag. For ease of understanding, in the following description of the present application, the function of the closure 100 described herein is described by taking an aluminum plastic film package as an example. The flexible package battery can be a lithium ion battery, a hydrogen fuel cell or a nuclear fuel cell and the like. The flexible package battery can be applied to various fields, for example, the flexible package battery can be a mobile phone battery, a computer battery, an automobile battery, an unmanned aerial vehicle battery and the like.
Specifically, the closure 100 may include a closure body 200 and a pressure block 300.
The header body 200 may include an encapsulation surface 210. The packaging surface 210 can perform hot pressing on the aluminum plastic film packaging bag of the soft package battery. The plastic-aluminum membrane wrapping bag is in the hot pressing effect is down warp and the adhesion, and then realizes the encapsulation. The sealing surface 210 may be a flat surface so that the plastic-aluminum film packaging bag forms a uniform seal under the action of heat and pressure.
The header body 200 may be provided with a lug groove 220. The tab slot 220 may be a U-shaped through slot and is disposed on the package face 210. When the packaging surface 210 is used for hot-pressing the aluminum plastic film packaging bag of the soft package battery, the tab of the soft package battery can pass through the tab slot 220 and cannot be damaged by the hot pressing of the packaging surface 210. The number of the pole ear grooves 220 is related to the structure of the soft package battery. For example, when the positive tab and the negative tab of the pouch battery are both disposed at one end of the pouch battery; two polar lug grooves 220 are arranged on the seal head body 200. When the positive tab and the negative tab of the soft package battery are respectively arranged at two ends of the soft package battery; the end socket body 200 is provided with a polar lug groove 220.
The closure body 200 may include a top surface 230. Top surface 230 is perpendicular to package face 210. When packaged, the top surface 230 faces the surface of the pouch battery provided with the tab.

The heating device may heat the header body 200 to make the header body 200 have a certain temperature. In some embodiments, the heating device can be a heating rod disposed on the closure body 200. The sealing head body 200 can conduct heat to transfer the temperature thereof to the aluminum plastic film packaging bag of the soft package battery. After the plastic-aluminum film packaging bag is heated, the driving device drives the seal head 100 to move and extrude the plastic-aluminum film packaging bag through the packaging surface 210. The aluminum-plastic film packaging bag deforms and is adhered under the combined action of heating and extrusion (namely hot pressing), and then packaging is realized. During packaging, the temperature of each part of the end socket body 200 should be kept consistent so that the sealing formed by the aluminum-plastic film packaging bag under the action of hot pressing is uniform.
The compact 300 is disposed on the top surface 230 and is connected to the top surface 230. In some embodiments, the pressure block 300 may be integrally connected with the header body 200.
