Side view.
해수전지 코인셀 실링 장치(100)는 제1 프레임(110)과, 안착부(120)와, 회전구동부(130)와, 제2 프레임(140)과, 종측 가압부(150) 및 횡측 가압부(160)를 포함할 수 있다.The seawater battery coin cell sealing device 100 includes a first frame 110, a seating part 120, a rotation driving part 130, a second frame 140, a longitudinal press part 150, and a lateral press part. 160 may be included.
제1 프레임(110)은 해수전지 코인셀 실링 장치(100)의 다른 구성요소들을 지지하는 지지대로서, 제1 프레임(110)에는 후술할 안착부(120), 회전구동부(130) 및 제2 프레임(140)이 설치될 수 있다.The first frame 110 is a support for supporting the other components of the seawater battery coin cell sealing device 100, the first frame 110, the mounting portion 120, the rotation driving unit 130 and the second frame to be described later 140 may be installed.
구체적으로, 제1 프레임(110)에는 안착부(120) 또는 회전구동부(130)의 회전축(미표시)이 제1 프레임(110)을 제1 방향으로 관통할 수 있도록 관통홀(미표시)이 형성될 수 있다. 즉, 관통홀으로 안착부(120) 또는 회전구동부(130)의 회전축(미표시)이 삽입될 수 있고, 이러한 구조에 따라 회전구동부(130)가 회전할 경우 안착부(120) 또한 회전할 수 있다.In detail, a through hole (not displayed) may be formed in the first frame 110 so that the rotating shaft (not displayed) of the seating unit 120 or the rotation driving unit 130 may penetrate the first frame 110 in the first direction. Can be. That is, the rotating shaft (not shown) of the seating part 120 or the rotary driving part 130 may be inserted into the through hole, and when the rotary driving part 130 rotates according to the structure, the seating part 120 may also rotate. .
안착부(120)는 제1 방향으로 돌출되도록 제1 프레임(110)에 설치되어 해수전지 코인셀(도 5의 CC 참조)을 안착시킬 수 있다. 안착부(120)는 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 측면 중 일부를 감싸기 위해 제1 방향으로 소정 간격 인입되는 인입부(도 5의 121 참조)를 구비할 수 있다. 이러한 구조에 따라, 해수전지 코인셀(CC)은 인입부(121)에 소정 깊이 삽입되어 제1 방향과 교차하는 제2 방향을 따라서는 이동하지 못하도록 고정될 수 있다. 이는, 후술할 해수전지 코인셀의 실링 공정 시 해수전지 코인셀(CC)을 안정적으로 고정하기 위함이다.The seating part 120 may be installed in the first frame 110 to protrude in the first direction to seat the seawater battery coin cell (see CC of FIG. 5). The seating part 120 may include an inlet part (see 121 of FIG. 5) that is inserted at a predetermined interval in a first direction to cover a part of the side surface of the seawater battery coin cell CC. According to this structure, the seawater battery coin cell CC may be fixed to be inserted into the inlet 121 and not move along the second direction crossing the first direction. This is to stably fix the seawater battery coin cell (CC) during the sealing process of the seawater battery coin cell to be described later.
회전구동부(130)는 상술한 바와 같이 안착부(120)에 연결되어 제1 방향으로 연장되는 가상의 선(V)을 중심으로 안착부(120)를 회전시키는 구동력을 제공할 수 있다. 도면에는 별도로 도시하지 않았으나, 회전구동부(130)는 전기나 내장배터리와 같은 전력공급원으로부터 구동에 필요한 전력을 공급받을 수 있으며, 사용자의 조작에 따라 온/오프될 수 있다.As described above, the rotation driving unit 130 may provide a driving force to rotate the seating unit 120 about the imaginary line V extending in the first direction and connected to the seating unit 120. Although not shown separately in the drawing, the rotation driving unit 130 may receive power required for driving from a power supply such as electricity or a built-in battery, and may be turned on / off according to a user's manipulation.
제2 프레임(140)은 제1 프레임(110)에 설치되어 제1 방향으로 연장되도록 형성될 수 있다. 제2 프레임(140)에는 후술할 종측 가압부(150)와 횡측 가압부(160)가 설치될 수 있다. 한편, 도 1 내지 도 3은 제1 프레임(110)과 제2 프레임(140)이 서로 분리되어 제2 프레임(140)이 제1 프레임(110)에 설치되는 것으로 도시되어 있으나, 본 발명의 실시예들은 이에 한정되지 않는다. 예컨대, 제1 프레임(110)과 제2 프레임(140)은 일체로 형성될 수도 있다.The second frame 140 may be installed on the first frame 110 to extend in the first direction. The second frame 140 may be provided with a longitudinal pressing unit 150 and a transverse pressing unit 160 to be described later. Meanwhile, although FIGS. 1 to 3 illustrate that the first frame 110 and the second frame 140 are separated from each other, the second frame 140 is installed in the first frame 110, but the embodiment of the present invention is implemented. Examples are not limited to this. For example, the first frame 110 and the second frame 140 may be integrally formed.
종측 가압부(150)는 제1 방향을 따라 연장되는 가상의 선(V)을 따라 왕복 이동 가능하도록 제2 프레임(140)에 설치되되, 안착부(120)에 안착된 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 일면에 접촉하는 제1 위치(도 6의 P1 참조)와, 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 일면으로부터 분리된 제2 위치(도 5의 P2 참조) 사이에서 이동 가능하도록 구성될 수 있다.The longitudinal press unit 150 is installed in the second frame 140 to be reciprocated along the imaginary line V extending along the first direction, and the seawater battery coin cell CC seated on the seating unit 120. It may be configured to be movable between a first position (see P1 of FIG. 6) in contact with one surface of the) and a second position (see P2 of FIG. 5) separated from one surface of the sea battery coin cell (CC).
이때, 종측 가압부(150)가 제1 위치(P1)에 위치할 경우, 종측 가압부(150)는 해수전지 코인셀(CC)과 함께 맞물린 상태로 제1 방향으로 연장되는 가상의 선(V)을 중심으로 해수전지 코인셀(CC)과 함께 회전할 수 있다. 즉, 종측 가압부(150)는 제2 프레임(140)에 대해 제1 방향으로 연장되는 가상의 선(V)을 중심으로 회전할 수 있는 자유도를 갖도록 제2 프레임(140)에 설치될 수 있다.In this case, when the longitudinal pressurizing unit 150 is positioned at the first position P1, the vertical pressurizing unit 150 extends in the first direction while being engaged with the seawater battery coin cell CC. It can rotate with the seawater battery coin cell (CC) around. That is, the longitudinal pressing unit 150 may be installed in the second frame 140 to have a degree of freedom to rotate about the imaginary line V extending in the first direction with respect to the second frame 140. .
또한, 종측 가압부(150)는 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 일면에 접촉하되, 해수전지 코인셀(CC)이 제1 방향으로 이동하지 않도록 고정하는 범위 내에서 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 일면에 접촉할 수 있다. 이는, 종측 가압부(150)는 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 일면을 가압하여 해수전지 코인셀(CC)을 실링하기 위함이 아니라, 단지 해수전지 코인셀(CC)을 고정하는 역할을 수행하는 것을 의미한다.In addition, the vertical pressurizing unit 150 is in contact with one surface of the seawater battery coin cell (CC), the seawater battery coin cell (CC) of the seawater battery coin cell (CC) within the range to be fixed so as not to move in the first direction Can be in contact with one side. This, the longitudinal pressurizing unit 150 is not intended to seal the seawater battery coin cell (CC) by pressing one surface of the seawater battery coin cell (CC), it serves only to fix the seawater battery coin cell (CC) Means that.
또한, 종측 가압부(150)는 사용자의 조작에 의해 종측 가압부(150)를 제1 방향을 따라 제1 위치(P1) 및 제2 위치(P2) 사이에서 이동시키는 종측조절레버(151)를 포함할 수 있다. 즉, 도 1에 도시된 바와 같이, 사용자는 종측조절레버(151)를 조작하여 종측 가압부(150)를 제1 방향을 따라 왕복 이동시킬 수 있다.In addition, the longitudinal pressing unit 150 moves the longitudinal adjusting lever 151 for moving the longitudinal pressing unit 150 between the first position P1 and the second position P2 in the first direction by a user's manipulation. It may include. That is, as shown in Figure 1, the user can operate the longitudinal adjustment lever 151 to reciprocate the longitudinal pressing unit 150 in the first direction.

For example, although not shown in the drawing, the longitudinal pressing unit 150 has an opening hole (not shown) which is opened toward the second direction, and the user presses the longitudinal pressing unit at a desired position by adjusting the position of the longitudinal pressing unit 150.

압축롤러(161)는 제1 방향을 기준으로 바라볼 경우 원형으로 구성될 수 있다. 압축롤러(161)는 가이드부(162)를 따라 제2 방향으로 이동할 수 있으며, 구체적으로 압축롤러(161)는 안착부(120)에 안착되는 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 측면 중 적어도 일부와 접촉하여 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 측면을 가압하는 제3 위치(도 6의 P3 참조)와, 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 측면 중 적어도 일부로부터 분리된 제4 위치(도 5의 P4 참조) 사이에서 이동 가능할 수 있다.The compression roller 161 may have a circular shape when viewed based on the first direction. The compression roller 161 may move in the second direction along the guide part 162, and specifically, the compression roller 161 may be at least a portion of the side surface of the seawater battery coin cell CC seated on the seating part 120. A third position (see P3 of FIG. 6) for contacting and pressing the side surface of the seawater battery coin cell CC, and a fourth position separated from at least a portion of the side surface of the seawater battery coin cell CC (see P4 of FIG. 5). May be moveable).
상세히, 압축롤러(161)는 압축롤러(161)의 측면을 따라 제2 방향으로 돌출되도록 형성되는 돌출부(도 5의 161p 참조)를 포함할 수 있다. 돌출부(161p)는 횡측 가압부(160)가 제1 위치(P1)에 위치할 경우, 즉 압축롤러(161)가 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 측면 중 일부와 접촉하는 위치에 위치할 경우 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 측면 중 일부를 직접적으로 가압할 수 있다.In detail, the compression roller 161 may include a protrusion (see 161p of FIG. 5) formed to protrude in a second direction along the side of the compression roller 161. The protruding portion 161p may have seawater when the lateral pressing portion 160 is positioned at the first position P1, that is, when the compression roller 161 is positioned at a part of the side surface of the seawater battery coin cell CC. A part of the side surface of the battery coin cell CC can be directly pressurized.
명세서 전반에 걸쳐서, '접촉하다'와 '가압하다'의 차이점은 다음과 같이 정의하기로 한다. '접촉하다'는, 단순히 서로가 접촉하는 것을 의미하는 것으로, 접촉으로 인해 서로의 형태가 변형되지 않는 것을 의미한다. 반면, '가압하다'는 단순히 서로가 접촉하는 것에 더해, 서로의 접촉에 의해 서로의 형태가 변형될 수 있음을 의미한다.Throughout the specification, the difference between 'contact' and 'press' will be defined as follows. "Contact" means simply contacting each other, and means that the contact does not deform each other. On the other hand, 'press' means that in addition to simply contacting each other, the shape of each other can be modified by the contact with each other.
즉, 종측 가압부(150)가 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 일면에 '접촉'하는 것은, 종측 가압부(150)와 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 접촉에 의해 해수전지 코인셀(CC)이 제1 방향으로 변형되지 않음을 의미한다. 반면, 압축롤러(161)가 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 측면을 '가압'한다는 것은, 압축롤러(161)의 가압에 의해 해수전지 코인셀(CC)이 제2 방향으로 변형될 수도 있음을 의미한다.That is, the longitudinal press unit 150 is in contact with one surface of the seawater battery coin cell CC, the seawater battery coin cell (CC) by the contact of the longitudinal press unit 150 and the seawater battery coin cell (CC) This means that it is not deformed in the first direction. On the other hand, the compression roller 161 'presses' the side of the seawater battery coin cell (CC), the seawater battery coin cell (CC) may be deformed in the second direction by the pressure of the compression roller 161. it means.
가이드부(162)는 제1 방향과 교차하는 제2 방향을 따라 연장되도록 제2 프레임(140)에 설치되어 압축롤러(161)가 제2 방향을 따라 이동 가능하도록 압축롤러(161)의 이동을 가이드할 수 있다. 예컨대, 가이드부(162)는 도면에 도시된 바와 같이 압축롤러(161)가 가이드 될 수 있는 레일(rail) 형태로 구성될 수 있다. 즉, 가이드부(162)는 압축롤러(161)를 고정하는 동시에, 압축롤러(161)가 제2 방향을 따라 이동할 수 있는 자유도를 부여할 수 있다.The guide part 162 is installed in the second frame 140 so as to extend in a second direction crossing the first direction to move the compression roller 161 so that the compression roller 161 can move in the second direction. You can guide. For example, the guide unit 162 may be configured in the form of a rail (rail) that can be guided by the compression roller 161 as shown in the figure. That is, the guide part 162 may fix the compression roller 161 and at the same time give the degree of freedom in which the compression roller 161 may move along the second direction.
횡측조절레버(163)는 사용자의 조작에 의해 압축롤러(161)를 제2 방향을 따라 제3 위치(도 5의 P3 참조) 및 제4 위치(도 4의 P4 참조) 사이에서 이동시킬 수 있다. 즉, 사용자는 횡측조절레버(163)를 제2 방향을 따라 연장된 가상의 선(H)을 중심으로 회전 조작하여 압축롤러(161)를 제2 방향을 따라 왕복 이동시킬 수 있다.The lateral adjustment lever 163 may move the compression roller 161 along the second direction between the third position (see P3 in FIG. 5) and the fourth position (see P4 in FIG. 4) by the user's manipulation. . That is, the user may rotate the lateral adjustment lever 163 about the virtual line H extending along the second direction to reciprocate the compression roller 161 along the second direction.
한편, 도 1에는 횡측조절레버(163)가 회전레버로 구성된 모습을 나타내나, 본 발명의 실시예들은 이에 한정되지 않는다. 예컨대, 횡측 가압부(160)는 제1 방향을 향해 개구되는 개구홀(미도시)을 구비하고, 사용자가 횡측 가압부(160)의 위치를 조절하여 원하는 위치에 횡측 가압부(160)를 위치시킨 후, 별도의 고정부재(미도시)를 개구홀에 삽입함으로써 횡측 가압부(160)의 제2 방향에 대한 이동을 방지하는 구조 또한 적용이 가능하다.On the other hand, Figure 1 shows a state in which the lateral adjustment lever 163 is composed of a rotary lever, embodiments of the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the lateral press unit 160 has an opening hole (not shown) that is open toward the first direction, and the user adjusts the position of the lateral press unit 160 to position the lateral press unit 160 at a desired position. After this, by inserting a separate fixing member (not shown) into the opening hole, it is also possible to apply a structure that prevents the movement in the second direction of the transverse pressing portion 160.
이 뿐만 아니라, 횡측 가압부(160)는 횡측 가압부(160)가 제2 방향을 따라 이동하지 않도록 고정할 수 있는 그 어떠한 구조도 포함할 수 있다. 다만, 이하에서는 설명의 편의를 위해 도 1에 도시된 바와 같이 압축롤러(161)가 횡측조절레버(163)에 의해 제2 방향으로 이동 및 고정될 수 있는 구조를 중심으로 설명하기로 한다.In addition to this, the lateral pressing portion 160 may include any structure that can be fixed so that the lateral pressing portion 160 does not move along the second direction. However, hereinafter, the compression roller 161 will be described based on a structure in which the compression roller 161 can be moved and fixed in the second direction by the lateral adjustment lever 163 for convenience of description.
상세히, 압축롤러(161)는 압축롤러(161)를 고정하는 중간부재(미표시)를 통해 가이드부(162)의 회전축(미표시)에 결합될 수 있으며, 횡측조절레버(163)는 가이드부(162)의 회전축에 결합될 수 있다. 여기서, 중간부재와 회전축은 각각 나사 결합을 통해 서로 체결될 수 있다. 이러한 구조에 따르면, 회전축이 회전함에 따라 중간부재는 제2 방향을 따라 선형 이동할 수 있다. 따라서, 사용자가 횡측조절레버(163)를 조작하면, 가이드부(162)의 회전축이 회전하여 중간부재를 제2 방향을 따라 이동시키게 되고, 이에 따라 중간부재에 결합되어 있는 압축롤러(161)가 제2 방향을 따라 이동시킬 수 있다.In detail, the compression roller 161 may be coupled to the rotation axis (not shown) of the guide portion 162 through an intermediate member (not shown) for fixing the compression roller 161, the lateral adjustment lever 163 is a guide portion 162 It can be coupled to the axis of rotation. Here, the intermediate member and the rotating shaft may be fastened to each other through screw coupling, respectively. According to this structure, as the rotary shaft rotates, the intermediate member may linearly move along the second direction. Therefore, when the user manipulates the lateral adjustment lever 163, the rotation axis of the guide portion 162 is rotated to move the intermediate member in the second direction, whereby the compression roller 161 is coupled to the intermediate member It may move along the second direction.

The seawater battery coin cell is seated on the seating portion, the longitudinal pressurization portion and the compression roller is a conceptual diagram showing a state that pressurizes the seawater battery coin cell, Figure 7 is a schematic view showing a state in which the longitudinal pressurization portion is in contact with one surface of the seawater battery coin cell. 8 is a conceptual diagram schematically illustrating a state in which the longitudinal pressurizing portion and the compression roller are in contact with one surface and the side surface of the seawater battery coin cell, respectively.
도 4 내지 도 8을 참조하면, 해수전지 코인셀(CC)을 실링하는 방법은 다음과 같다.4 to 8, a method of sealing a seawater battery coin cell CC is as follows.
먼저, 해수전지 코인셀(CC)을 안착부(120)에 안착시킨다(S401). 구체적으로, 해수전지 코인셀(CC)은 제1 방향으로 소정 깊이 인입되도록 형성되는 인입부(121)에 안착될 수 있다(도 5 참조).First, the seawater battery coin cell (CC) is seated on the mounting portion 120 (S401). Specifically, the seawater battery coin cell CC may be seated in the inlet portion 121 formed to be drawn in a predetermined depth in the first direction (see FIG. 5).
다음으로, 종측 가압부(150)를 해수전지 코인셀(CC)을 향하는 제1 방향으로 이동시켜, 종축 가압부(150)를 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 일면에 접촉시킨다(S402)(도 7 참조). 이때, 상술한 바와 같이 사용자는 종측조절레버(151)를 조작하여 종측 가압부(150)를 제1 방향을 따라 이동시킬 수 있으며, 구체적으로 종측 가압부(150)는 안착부(120)에 안착된 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 일면에 접촉하는 제1 위치(P1)와, 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 일면으로부터 분리된 제2 위치(P2) 사이에서 이동 가능할 수 있다.Next, the vertical pressurizing part 150 is moved in the first direction toward the seawater battery coin cell CC, and the vertical axis pressurizing part 150 is brought into contact with one surface of the seawater battery coin cell CC (S402) (Fig. 7). In this case, as described above, the user may operate the longitudinal adjustment lever 151 to move the longitudinal press part 150 along the first direction, and in particular, the longitudinal press part 150 may be seated on the seating part 120. It may be movable between a first position P1 in contact with one surface of the seawater battery coin cell CC and a second position P2 separated from one surface of the seawater battery coin cell CC.
다음으로, 회전구동부(130)를 구동하여 제1 방향으로 연장되는 가상의 선(V)을 중심으로 안착부(120)를 회전시킨다(S403). 이때, 안착부(120)에 형성된 인입부(121)에는 해수전지 코인셀(CC)이 안착되어 있으므로, 안착부(120)가 회전함에 따라 해수전지 코인셀(CC)도 함께 회전할 수 있다. 그리고, 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 일면을 가압하고 있는 종측 가압부(150) 또한 해수전지 코인셀(CC)과 함께 회전할 수 있다. 즉, 회전구동부(130)의 회전 구동에 의해, 안착부(120)와 해수전지 코인셀(CC) 및 종측 가압부(150)는 제1 방향으로 연장되는 가상의 선(V)을 중심으로 회전할 수 있다(도 6 참조).Next, the rotating unit 130 is driven to rotate the seating unit 120 around the virtual line V extending in the first direction (S403). At this time, since the seawater battery coin cell CC is seated in the inlet part 121 formed in the seating part 120, the seawater battery coin cell CC may also rotate as the seating part 120 rotates. In addition, the vertical pressurizing unit 150 that presses one surface of the seawater battery coin cell CC may also rotate together with the seawater battery coin cell CC. That is, by the rotational drive of the rotation drive unit 130, the seating unit 120, the seawater battery coin cell (CC) and the longitudinal pressing unit 150 rotates around a virtual line (V) extending in the first direction. (See FIG. 6).
다음으로, 압축롤러(161)를 제2 방향으로 이동시켜, 압축롤러(161)를 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 측면 중 적어도 일부에 접촉시켜 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 측면을 가압한다(S404)(도 6 및 도 8 참조). 이때, 상술한 바와 같이 사용자는 횡측조절레버(163)를 조작하여 압축롤러(161)를 제2 방향을 따라 이동시킬 수 있으며, 구체적으로 압축롤러(161)는 안착부(120)에 안착되는 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 측면 중 적어도 일부에 접촉하여 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 측면을 가압하는 제3 위치(P3)와, 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 측면 중 적어도 일부로부터 분리된 제4 위치(P4) 사이에서 이동 가능할 수 있다.Next, the compression roller 161 is moved in the second direction, and the compression roller 161 is brought into contact with at least part of the side surfaces of the seawater battery coin cell CC to press the side surface of the seawater battery coin cell CC ( S404) (see FIGS. 6 and 8). In this case, as described above, the user may move the compression roller 161 along the second direction by manipulating the lateral adjustment lever 163, and specifically, the compression roller 161 may be seawater seated on the seating part 120. A third position P3 for contacting at least a portion of the side surface of the battery coin cell CC to pressurize the side surface of the seawater battery coin cell CC, and a second portion separated from at least a portion of the side surface of the seawater battery coin cell CC. It may be movable between four positions P4.
이와 같이 압축롤러(161)가 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 측면 중 일부와 접촉하여 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 측면을 가압할 경우, 구체적으로 압축롤러(161)의 측면을 따라 제2 방향으로 돌출되어 형성되는 돌출부(161p)가 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 측면 중 적어도 일부와 서로 접촉하여 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 측면을 가압할 수 있다. 이때, 돌출부(161p)와 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 측면 중 적어도 일부 사이에서 발생하는 마찰력은 최대 정지 마찰력 미만일 수 있다. 즉, 돌출부(161p)와 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 측면 중 적어도 일부가 서로 접촉하여 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 측면이 가압될 경우, 압축롤러(161)는 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 회전에 따라 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 측면 중 적어도 일부에 맞물려 서로에 대해 미끌리는 현상 없이 해수전지 코인셀(CC)과 함께 회전할 수 있다(도 6 참조).As such, when the compression roller 161 presses the side surface of the seawater battery coin cell CC by contacting a part of the side surface of the seawater battery coin cell CC, specifically, the second direction along the side surface of the compression roller 161. The protruding portion 161p formed to protrude into the contact portion may contact each other with at least some of the side surfaces of the seawater battery coin cell CC to pressurize the side surface of the seawater battery coin cell CC. In this case, the friction force generated between the protrusion 161p and at least some of the side surfaces of the seawater battery coin cell CC may be less than the maximum static friction force. That is, when at least a portion of the protrusion part 161p and the side surface of the seawater battery coin cell CC are in contact with each other and the side surface of the seawater battery coin cell CC is pressed, the compression roller 161 is a seawater battery coin cell CC. According to the rotation of the seawater battery coin cell (CC) can be rotated with the seawater battery coin cell (CC) without engaging with each other at least a portion of the side sliding (see Figure 6).
여기서, 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 '측면 중 일부'라 함은 안착부(120)에 인입부(121)가 형성되지 않은 경우를 염두에 둔 표현이다. 즉, 해수전지 코인셀(CC)은 별도의 도면에 도시하지는 않았으나 인입부(121)가 형성되지 않은 안착부(120)에 안착된 상태로 실링될 수 있다. 이러한 경우, 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 전체 측면이 제2 방향을 향해 노출된 상태이므로, 결과적으로 돌출부(161p)와 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 전체 측면이 맞물릴 수도 있음을 의미한다.Here, 'part of the side' of the seawater battery coin cell (CC) is an expression in consideration of the case where the inlet 121 is not formed in the seating portion 120. That is, the seawater battery coin cell CC may be sealed while seated on the seating part 120 in which the inlet part 121 is not formed, although not shown in a separate drawing. In this case, since the whole side surface of the seawater battery coin cell CC is exposed toward the second direction, it means that the protrusion 161p and the whole side surface of the seawater battery coin cell CC may be engaged as a result.
상기와 같이, 해수전지 코인셀(CC)은 안착부(120)에 안착된 상태에서 종측 가압부(150)에 의해 제1 방향으로 고정될 수 있고, 또한, 압축롤러(161)에 의해 제2 방향으로 고정될 수 있다. 이러한 상태에서, 회전구동부(130)의 구동에 의해 해수전지 코인셀(CC)이 회전할 경우, 종측 가압부(150) 또한 해수전지 코인셀(CC)과 함께 회전하게 되며, 압축롤러(161) 또한 해수전지 코인셀(CC)과 함께 회전할 수 있다. 이때, 압축롤러(161)는 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 측면 중 적어도 일부를 가압하여 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 측면을 실링할 수 있다(도 6 참조).As described above, the seawater battery coin cell CC may be fixed in the first direction by the longitudinal press unit 150 in a state of being seated on the seating unit 120, and also by the compression roller 161. Direction can be fixed. In this state, when the seawater battery coin cell (CC) is rotated by the drive of the rotary drive unit 130, the longitudinal pressurization unit 150 also rotates with the seawater battery coin cell (CC), the compression roller 161 It can also rotate with the seawater battery coin cell (CC). At this time, the compression roller 161 may press at least a part of the side surface of the seawater battery coin cell (CC) to seal the side surface of the seawater battery coin cell (CC) (see FIG. 6).
상술한 바와 같은 본 발명의 실시예들에 따른 해수전지 코인셀 실링 장치(100) 및 방법에 의하면, 제1 방향을 기준으로 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 변형은 방지할 수 있는 한편, 제2 방향을 기준으로는 해수전지 코인셀(CC)의 측면을 가압하여 해수전지 코인셀(CC)을 실링할 수 있다. 따라서, 제1 방향을 따라 가해지는 힘에 의해 해수전지 코인셀(CC)이 변형되거나 파손되는 위험을 방지할 수 있으며, 이에 따라 해수전지 코인셀(CC) 내부에 밀봉되는 세라믹 고체전해질을 보호할 수 있다.According to the seawater battery coin cell sealing apparatus 100 and the method according to the embodiments of the present invention as described above, the deformation of the seawater battery coin cell (CC) based on the first direction can be prevented, the second Based on the direction, the side surface of the seawater battery coin cell (CC) may be pressed to seal the seawater battery coin cell (CC). Therefore, it is possible to prevent the risk that the seawater battery coin cell CC is deformed or damaged by the force applied along the first direction, thereby protecting the ceramic solid electrolyte sealed inside the seawater battery coin cell CC. Can be.
이상에서는 도면에 도시된 실시예를 참고로 설명되었으나 이는 예시적인 것에 불과하며, 당해 기술 분야에서 통상의 지식을 가진 자라면 이로부터 다양한 변형 및 균등한 다른 실시예가 가능하다는 점을 이해할 것이다. 따라서, 본 발명의 진정한 기술적 보호 범위는 첨부된 특허청구범위의 기술적 사상에 의하여 정해져야 할 것이다.Although the above description has been made with reference to the exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawings, this is merely exemplary, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications and equivalent other embodiments are possible.
