Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sealing apparatus for manufacturing a pouch type secondary battery, and more particularly to a sealing apparatus for manufacturing a pouch type secondary battery with improved sealing portion of the pouch case and the lid.
  • Secondary batteries that can be charged and discharged are being actively researched due to the development of high-tech fields such as digital cameras, cell phones, laptops and hybrid cars.
  • Examples of secondary batteries include nickel-cadmium batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, nickel-hydrogen batteries, and lithium secondary batteries.
  • lithium secondary batteries are used as a power source for portable electronic devices, or are used in high-power hybrid vehicles by connecting a plurality of them in series, and the operating voltage is three times higher than that of nickel-cadmium batteries or nickel-metal hydride batteries.
  • the energy density per unit weight is also excellent and is being used rapidly.
  • Such a lithium secondary battery can be manufactured in various forms such as cylindrical type and prismatic type. Recently, a pouch type secondary battery manufactured in a pouch type having flexibility has been spotlighted.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a general pouch type secondary battery 10 and a sealing device 20 for sealing the pouch type secondary battery 10.
  • the pouch type secondary battery 10 includes a pouch case and a lead 17 formed of an upper pouch 15a and a lower pouch 15b.
  • the lid 17 extends from an electrode assembly (not shown) embedded in the pouches 15a and 15b so as to protrude outward from the pouches 15a and 15b.
  • a sealing portion 15 is formed along the edges of the pouches 15a and 15b to seal the pouches 15a and 15b.
  • the sealing device 20 is installed on the upper and lower portions of the pouch sealing portion 15 so as to be elevated by the elevating means 30 to press the sealing portion 15 by elevating. At this time, the sealing device 20 generates heat by the built-in heating means (not shown) to heat the sealing unit 15. That is, the sealing device 20 is sealed while the polymers of the pouches 15a and 15b are fused by heat-pressurizing the sealing unit 15.
  • a thin resin layer is formed on the lid 17 as shown in FIG. 2.
  • Film 18 is coated and applied to the sealing process.
  • (A) is a top view of a lead
  • (b) is B-B 'sectional drawing of (a).
  • the lead 17 having a thickness of 50 ⁇ m to 1000 ⁇ m is usually interposed in the pouches 15a and 15b of the upper and lower sides as shown in FIG. 3 even though the film 18 is coated as described above. Since the pouches at the portions corresponding to both sides of 17) are not completely bonded by the heat-sealing sealing apparatus, the electrolyte leaks. That is, since the lid 17 has the predetermined thickness mentioned above, even if the pouches 15a and 15b are joined, the joined portion is lifted by the thickness of the lid 17. As described above, when the upper and lower cases around the lead 17 are incompletely bonded, electrolyte is leaked around the lead, thereby causing a problem of lowering electrical characteristics due to charge and discharge of the secondary battery. In order to solve this problem, an improved sealing apparatus for sealing with the lid 17 in between is known and shown in FIG.
  • the sealing device 40 includes upper and lower heating blocks 41 and 42 provided with heating means (not shown), and corresponds to the lid 17 interposed in the upper and lower cases 15a and 15b.
  • the heating blocks 41 and 42 are formed with sealing grooves 41a and 42a in which the lid 17 is seated upon sealing.
  • the sealing grooves 41a and 42a are configured such that the lid 17 is seated so that portions other than the lid 17 are sufficiently pressurized and sealed. And the lid 17 is sealed in the state compensated by the sealing grooves 41a and 42a by the thickness thereof.
  • the sealing grooves 41a and 42a have a margin considering the tolerance in the cross-sectional shape of the lead 17 as shown in FIG. (d)
  • the sealing grooves 41a and 42a have a width length of about 10% wider than the width length of the lid 17.
  • the sealing process may proceed even if the position where the lid 17 is not fixed is constant. However, due to such a clearance, there is a non-sealing portion that is not pressurized by the sealing device 40 by the difference in the width lengths of the sealing grooves 41a and 42a and the lid 17, that is, the clearance. As the thickness of the lid 17 increases, the unsealed portion also increases as the depth and width of the sealing grooves 41a and 42a increase. In addition, when the sealing condition or the lead condition is changed, as shown in FIG. 6, the voids and gaps of the sealing groove 42a and the film 18 may not be filled, so that the electrolyte may be leaked without causing a complete sealing to act as a factor that causes defects. do.
  • the problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a sealing device of a pouch-type secondary battery that can prevent the leakage of the electrolyte solution by allowing the lead to always be constantly positioned in the sealing groove and completely sealed.
  • the sealing device in the sealing device of the pouch-type secondary battery for sealing the pouch case in which the electrode assembly is embedded, the sealing device comprises a top and bottom sealing block, the top and bottom sealing block At least one of the sealing blocks is formed with a sealing groove including a diagonal stepped portion at a position corresponding to the lead of the pouch-type secondary battery, the lead guide for mounting the lead in the sealing groove is installed in front of the sealing block It is characterized by.
  • the lead guide is preferably a pair of blocks that form a separation space into which the lead can enter.
  • the edge portion toward the lead in the block may be chamfered and tapered.
  • the separation space may be designed to be spaced apart from the width of the lead by 0.1mm to 2.0mm range.
  • the lead guide may determine the position of the lead before the sealing block. Instead, the lead guide may be applied simultaneously with the sealing block to determine the position of the lead.
  • the block is approximately hexahedral in shape, and the tapered slope may be flat, convex up or concave down.
