为了便于理解本申请的技术方案,在此结合图1对现有技术进行说明:目前采用PET膜和烘箱的叠片机包括极片放卷机构1、PET膜放卷机构2、PET膜收卷机构3及烘箱组件4,实现片料和隔膜6的复合,即在隔膜6的两侧设置绕设有PET膜5的烘箱组件4,PET膜5通过PET膜放卷机构1释放,并由PET膜收卷机构2收卷,以随隔膜6和极片移动,并在移动过程中将极片压紧于隔膜6上,避免极片偏移,烘箱组件4对PET膜5以及两层PET膜5之间的隔膜6和极片加热加压,从而实现极片和隔膜6的复合。
采用PET膜和烘箱的方式在将极片复合于隔膜6上,需要消耗PET膜5,同时也需要设置PET膜放卷机构2放卷以及设置PET膜收卷机构3收卷,材料成本以及设备成本较高,体积过大,而烘箱组件4加热加压时为了达到合适的复合温度,要确保极片和隔膜在烘箱中加热较长的时间,因此需选择较长的烘箱,导致烘箱的成本较高,而且占用空间大,生产效率低。
如图2所示,本申请一实施例提供的第二复合装置10,包括第一电极料带放卷机构11、折痕机构12及第一复合机构13,第一电极料带放卷机构11用于释放第一电极料带201,折痕机构12设置于第一电极料带放卷机构11的下游,第一复合机构13设置于折痕机构12的下游。
折痕机构12用于在第一电极料带201上形成多个沿第一电极料带201的长度方向间隔排布且沿其宽度方向延伸的折痕,第一复合机构13用于在第一电极料带201的相对两侧复合第一隔膜202和第二隔膜203并形成第一复合料带200。
其中,第一电极料带201为带状的极片。
通过设置上述的第二复合装置10,折痕机构12在第一电极料带201上形成多个折痕,第一隔膜202和第二隔膜203贴合于第一电极料带201的两侧形成第一复合料带200,在折叠第一复合料带200的过程中,可以沿着折痕进行直接折叠。相较于现有的先将极片裁切成片料再进行叠片,该第二复合装置10直接使用带状的极片,无需裁切,有效地提高了后续叠片的效率。同时也可以避免裁断极片产生较多的毛刺,提高了电池的质量。
需要进行说明的是,第二复合装置10用于形成第一复合料带200,本实施例中第一复合料带200中的第一电极料带201具有多个折痕,从而方便后续的折叠,而第一复合料带200进行折叠时可根据实际的工艺选择,在第一复合料带200上铺设极片然后折叠以形成电芯,在本实施例中不作赘述。
此外,需要解释的是,极片的硬度比第一隔膜202以及第二隔膜203的硬度高,现有的叠片方式是对呈片料的极片进行折叠,而本实施例中是方便呈带状的极片进行折叠,故在第一电极料带201,即带状的极片上形成折痕。
在一些实施例中,第二复合装置10还包括第一隔膜放卷机构14,第一隔膜放卷机构14设置于第一复合机构13的上游,用于释放第一隔膜202。进一步地,第二复合装置10还包括第二隔膜放卷机构15,第二隔膜放卷机构15设置于第一复合机构13的上游,用于释放第二隔膜203。
在一些实施例中,折痕机构12包括激光切割头或切刀,激光切割头和切刀均用于在带状的极片上形成沿其宽度方向的折痕,而多个折痕沿其长度方向均匀间隔排布。
需要说明的是,如图3中的a图、b图和c图所示,带状的极片上的折痕可以是通过激光切割头或切刀在极片上开设贯通孔,贯通孔沿第一电极料带201的宽度方向依次间隔设置且沿其厚度方向贯穿第一电极料带201,贯通孔的形式包括圆形孔、矩形孔及条形孔中的一种或多种。
当然,也可以是如图3中的d图所示,折痕为沿第一电极料带201的宽度方向纵长延伸的折叠区域,通过激光去掉虚线区域内的部分碳粉,使得该区域的碳粉层少于其他位置的碳粉层,即第一电极料带201的折叠区域的厚度小于其他位置的厚度,导致该区域的强度减弱,方便折叠。
在一些实施例中,第一隔膜202与第二隔膜203的相对两侧的表面均具有粘合剂,在第一复合料带200中第一隔膜202及第二隔膜203与带状的极片初步贴合在一起之后,通过第一复合机构13的加热加压,即复合处理,粘合剂融化,第一隔膜202及第二隔膜203与带状的极片粘合在一起,形成第一复合料带200。同时,在后续进行折叠的时候,第一隔膜202及第二隔膜203背离带状的极片的一侧表面的粘合剂也能够确保折叠时粘接固定。
在一些实施例中,第一复合机构13包括第一加热组件131和第一辊压组件132,第一加热组件131用于对第一隔膜202、第一电极料带201及第二隔膜203进行加热,使得第一隔膜202与第二隔膜203表面的粘合剂融化,第一辊压组件132用于对第一隔膜202、第一电极料带201及第二隔膜203进行辊压,从而使得三者粘贴在一起形成第一复合料带200。
进一步地,第一复合机构13还包括入料组件133,入料组件133设置于折痕机构12下游,且位于第一加热组件131上游,用于对第一隔膜放卷机构14释放的第一隔膜202、第二隔膜放卷机构15释放的第二隔膜203以及第一电极料带放卷机构11释放的第一电极料带201进行导向处理,以使第一隔膜202和第二隔膜203贴合于第一电极料带201的相对两侧。
实际应用中,入料组件133通过两根入料辊分别对第一隔膜202、第一电极料带201及第二隔膜203导向,第一加热组件131可以通过加热块对第一隔膜202、第一电极料带201及第二隔膜203加热,第一辊压组件132可以是两根压力辊夹持第一隔膜202及第二隔膜203的外侧,从而对第一隔膜202、第一电极料带201及第二隔膜203进行辊压。
请参阅图4,本申请还提供一种叠片机100,该叠片机包括加热装置41、第一片料装置20及第二片料装置30,加热装置41用于对第一复合料带200进行加热,第一片料装置20和第二片料装置30均设置于加热装置41的下游,第一片料装置20用于向经过加热后的第一复合料带200的一侧表面提供第一片料301,第二片料装置30用于向经过加热后的第一复合料带200的另一侧表面提供第二片料302。
进一步地,叠片机还包括第一复合装置42,第一复合装置42包括加热机构421及辊压机构422,加热机构421设置于第一片料装置20和第二片料装置30的下游,用于对贴合有第一片料301和第二片料302的第一复合料带200进行加热,辊压机构422设置于加热机构421的下游,用于对贴合有第一片料301和第二片料302的第一复合料带200进行辊压处理,从而形成第二复合料带。
其中,第一复合料带200通过前述实施例中的第二复合装置10复合而成,故第一复合料带200包括层叠设置的第一隔膜202、第一电极料带201及第二隔膜203。
具体地,第一片料装置20用于向经过加热后的第一隔膜202背离第一电极料带201的一侧表面提供第一片料301,第二片料装置30用于向经过加热后的第二隔膜203背离第一电极料带201的一侧表面提供第二片料302。
由于第一隔膜202和第二隔膜203的两侧表面均具有粘合剂,故第一复合料带200的两侧表面也具有粘合剂。通过采用该叠片机,第一复合料带200两侧的粘合剂先通过加热装置41加热融化,然后第一片料装置20和第二片料装置30分别将第一片料301和第二片料302与第一复合料带200的相对两侧贴合,接下来通过第一复合装置42处理形成第二复合料带。由于粘合剂已经融化,可以保证第一片料301和第二片料302与第一复合料带200贴合的强度,避免第一片料301和第二片料302与第一复合料带200贴合之后发生位移,提高电芯的质量。
此外,通过加热机构421和辊压机构422依次对第一片料301、第一复合料带200以及第二片料302进行加热和辊压,相较于PET膜和烘箱的复合方 式,无需设置PET膜,降低了PET膜以及设置PET膜放卷机构以及PET膜收卷机构的成本,制作成本较低,而且无需设置较长的烘箱,提高了复合效率,生产效率高。
需要说明的是,第二复合装置10中的第一复合机构13复合第一隔膜202、第一电极料带201及第二隔膜203时会通过第一加热组件131进行加热,但是复合形成的第一复合料带200在输送过程中会冷却,故后续在第一片料装置20和第二片料装置30上游设置加热装置41对第一复合料带200进行加热。
同理可知,由于第一复合料带200输送的过程中会冷却,故设置加热机构421于辊压机构422的上游,以在辊压之前加热,使得第一片料301及第二片料302与第一复合料带200紧密贴合。
此外,第一隔膜202和第二隔膜203两侧表面的粘合剂通常为热敏胶,加热装置41对第一复合料带200进行加热,可激活热敏胶的活性,避免在输送过程中温度降低,影响热敏胶的粘合力,确保第一片料301和第二片料302紧密且稳定地贴合在第一复合料带200的两侧,避免第一片料301和第二片料302发生位移。而第一复合装置42中的加热机构421对贴合有第一片料301和第二片料302的第一复合料带200进行加热,可以维持热敏胶的活性,同时也可以避免输送过程中温度降低,影响热敏胶的粘合力,使得第一片料301和第二片料302与第一复合料带200在辊压机构422的压力下紧密地贴合。
在一些实施例中,加热装置41包括两个加热块,第一复合料带200穿过两个加热块之间,两个加热块用于对第一复合料带200加热。在另一些实施例中,加热装置41也可以是加热辊,在此不作限制。同理可知,加热机构421也可以是加热块或加热辊。
同时,如果没有预先加热提高第一片料301和第二片料302与第一复合料带的贴合强度,后续输送或辊压的时候,第一片料301和第二片料302容易发生位移。
在一些实施例中,第一片料装置20包括第二电极料带放卷机构21及第一切断机构22,第二电极料带放卷机构21用于释放第二电极料带400,第一切断机构22位于第二电极料带放卷机构21的下游,第一切断机构22用于对第二电极料带400进行裁切,以形成第一片料301。
进一步地,第二片料装置30包括第三电极料带放卷机构31及第二切断机构32,第三电极料带放卷机构31用于释放第三电极料带500,第二切断机构32位于第三电极料带放卷机构31的下游,第二切断机构32用于对第三电极料带500进行裁切,以形成第二片料302。
需要解释的是,上述的第二电极料带400和第三电极料带500与第一电极料带201相同,均为带状的极片,而第一切断机构22和第二切断机构32将第二电极料带400和第三电极料带500切断分别形成第一片料301和第二片料302后,可以将第一片料301和第二片料302分别初步贴合于第一隔膜202和第二隔膜203上。或者增设其他机构将第一片料301和第二片料302分别初步贴合于第一隔膜202和第二隔膜203上,在此不作限制。
在一些实施例中,第一复合装置42还包括入料机构423,入料机构423设置于加热机构421的上游,入料机构423用于将第一片料301和第二片料302贴合于第一复合料带的相对两侧。
具体地,入料机构423包括两根入料辊,两根入料辊分别用于将第一片料301和第二片料302贴合于第一复合料带200的相对两侧。
入料机构423、加热机构421以及辊压机构422集成为第一复合装置42,使得结构更加的紧凑,相较于PET膜和烘箱的复合方式,无需设置PET膜放卷机构、PET膜收卷机构以及较长的烘箱,占用空间更小。
进一步描述之前,需要说明的是,上述第二复合装置10中的折痕机构12在第一电极料带201上形成多个折痕之后,第一电极料带201上相邻的两个折痕之间形成折叠片。
第一片料301和第二片料302均为极片,且当第一电极料带201为负极时,第一片料301和第二片料302均为正极极片,当第一电极料带201为正极时,第一片料301和第二片料302为负极极片。而第一隔膜202和第二隔膜203可以是相同的。
如此,在折叠时,电芯为第一片料301、第一隔膜202、折叠片、第二隔膜203、第二片料302、第二隔膜203、折叠片及第一隔膜202依次层叠预定的数量形成。具体来说,第一片料301(第二片料302)为极片,且为正极和负极中的一种,第一电极料带201为正极和负极中的另一种,第一片料301、 第二片料302与第一复合料带200复合成第二复合料带并反复折叠之后,会形成隔膜、正极极片、隔膜和负极极片依次循环层叠的电芯。
请参阅图5,在实施例1中,第一片料301和第二片料302沿第一复合料带200的长度方向交替间隔排布,沿第一复合料带200长度方向相邻的第一片料301和第二片料302分别与相邻的两片折叠片对应。
需要解释的是,第一电极料带201上的多个折痕沿第一电极料带201的长度方向均匀间隔排布,而每一第一片料301和每一第二片料302均与折叠片对应,因此所有的第一片料301和所有的第二片料302均沿第一电极料带201的长度方向,即沿第一复合料带200的长度方向均匀间隔排布。
实际应用中,相邻的两片第一片料301沿第一复合料带200长度方向的间距大于第二片料302的宽度,相邻的两片第二片料302沿第一复合料带200长度方向的间距大于第一片料301的宽度。
需要说明的是,图5中,第一片料301和第二片料302的宽度方向为第一复合料带200的长度方向。
在本实施例中,第二复合料带303包括多个第一层叠组件3031和第二层叠组件3032,第一层叠组件3031与第二层叠组件3032交替连接,第一层叠组件3031包括依次层叠的第一片料301、第一隔膜202、折叠片及第二隔膜203,第二层叠组件3032包括依次层叠的第一隔膜202、折叠片、第二隔膜203及第二片料302。
在本实施例中,叠片机还包括第一叠片装置50,第一叠片装置50设置于辊压机构422的下游,用于对第二复合料带303沿折痕进行折叠处理,以将多个第一层叠组件3031和多个第二层叠组件3032交替层叠形成上述的电芯。
进一步地,第一叠片装置50包括叠片台51,第二复合料带303沿竖直方向从上往下输送并在叠片台51上进行折叠。
需要说明的是,在该实施例中,可以选用吹气结构或推料支架配合重力实现第二复合料带303的折叠,也可以是直接依靠重力实现第二复合料带303的折叠。
当采用吹气结构时,在第二复合料带303的两侧均设置吹气结构,且吹气结构均位于叠片台51的上方,两侧的吹气结构在第二复合料带303输送的过 程中交替朝第二复合料带303吹气,由于第一电极料带201上具有折痕,因此吹气结构吹气使得第二复合料带303发生弯折,从而确保第二复合料带303在叠片台51上折叠。
当采用推料支架时,在第二复合料带303的两侧均设置推料支架,且推料支架均位于叠片台51的上方,两侧的推料支架在竖直方向上错位排布,而且两侧的推料支架可相互靠近,以对相邻的两片折叠片施加反方向的外力,使得相邻折叠片弯折,从而确保第二复合料带303在叠片台51上折叠。
当直接依靠重力时,由于第一电极料带201上具有折痕,而第二复合料带303沿竖直方向向下输送至叠片台51上,叠片台51设置有两个挡板,在重力作用下,第一电极料带201受两个挡板的限制在折痕处会发生弯曲并折叠,从而实现第二复合料带303的折叠。
请参阅图6,在实施例2中,第二复合料带303包括多个第一层叠组件3031和第二层叠组件3032,第一层叠组件3031与第二层叠组件3032交替连接,第一层叠组件3031包括依次层叠的第一片料301、第一隔膜202、折叠片及第二隔膜203,第二层叠组件3032包括依次层叠的第一隔膜202、折叠片、第二隔膜203及第二片料302。
在本实施例中,叠片机还包括第二叠片装置60,第二叠片装置60设置于辊压机构422的下游,用于对第二复合料带303沿折痕进行折叠处理,以将多个第一层叠组件3031和多个第二层叠组件3032交替层叠形成电芯。
可以理解的是,本实施例中第二叠片装置60的作用与实施例1中的第一叠片装置50的作用相同。
进一步地,第二叠片装置60包括叠片台61及夹爪62,叠片台61设置于辊压机构422的下游,叠片台61沿竖直方向可往复移动,夹爪62在辊压机构422的出料端以及叠片台61之间往复移动,用于夹持第二复合料带303并将第二复合料带303折叠且放置于叠片台61上。
以一具体实施例进行举例说明:初始时,第二片料装置30先将第二片料302设置于第一复合料带200的首端,然后第一片料装置20将第一片料301放置于第一复合料带200上,接下来依次放置第二片料302和第一片料301,并依次经过入料机构423、加热机构421及辊压机构422的处理从而复合形成 第二复合料带303。
换而言之,本实施例的第二复合料带303中第二层叠组件3032位于首端,第二复合料带303为多个第二层叠组件3032和多个第一层叠组件3031交替连接。
夹爪62将辊压机构422出料端的第二复合料带303抓取并平移到叠片台61上,此时第一复合料带200的第一隔膜202与叠片台61接触,即首端的第二层叠组件3032与叠片台61接触,叠片台61下降,夹爪62回到辊压机构422的出料端继续抓取第二个第二层叠组件3032,接下来夹爪62向叠片台61平移,以将抓取的第二层叠组件3032移动到叠片台61上,由于叠片台61下降,第二复合料带303的首端的第二层叠组件3032也下降了,夹爪62将抓取的第二层叠组件3032移动到叠片台61上时,与首端的第二层叠组件3032相邻的第一层叠组件3031会覆盖在首端的第二层叠组件3032上,而且抓取的第二层叠组件3032也会覆盖在该第一层叠组件3031上,从而实现折叠。
需要解释的是,夹爪62抓取方式为间隔一个层叠组件进行抓取,即每次抓取的层叠组件与上次抓取的层叠组件之间间隔一个层叠组件。如上所述抓取第二层叠组件3032时,由于第一层叠组件3031与第二层叠组件3032是交替连接的,因此夹爪62将第二个第二层叠组件3032抓取到前一个第二层叠组件3032的正上方时,两个第二层叠组件3032之间的第一层叠组件3031会发生折叠。
请参阅图7-图9,在实施例3中,第二复合料带304包括多个第三层叠组件3041及多个第四层叠组件3042,且第三层叠组件3041与第四层叠组件3042交替连接,第三层叠组件3041包括依次层叠的第一片料301、第一隔膜202、折叠片、第二隔膜203及第二片料302,第四层叠组件3042包括依次层叠的第一隔膜202、折叠片及第二隔膜203。
在本实施例中,叠片机还包括第三叠片装置70,第三叠片装置70设置于辊压机构422的下游,用于对第二复合料带304沿折痕进行折叠处理,以将多个第三层叠组件3041和多个第四层叠组件3042交替层叠形成电芯。
进一步地,第三叠片装置70包括叠片台71及夹爪72,叠片台71设置于辊压机构422的下游,且叠片台71沿竖直方向可往复移动,夹爪72在辊压机 构422的出料端以及叠片台71之间往复移动,用于夹持第二复合料带304并将第二复合料带304折叠且放置于叠片台71上。
实际应用中,第三叠片装置70还包括压板73,压板73沿竖直方向可往复移动,用于抵压叠片台71上的电芯,以将层叠设置的第一片料301、第一复合料带200、第二片料302及第一复合料带200压紧,确保电芯中的各层结构紧密贴合。
具体地,第三叠片装置70还包括压刀74,压刀74可随叠片台71沿竖直方向移动,且相对叠片台71可移动,用于抵压电芯。
需要说明的是,夹爪72夹持第二复合料带304并将第二复合料带304折叠且放置于叠片台71上后,压板73压紧电芯,夹爪72撤去,压刀74压住电芯,压板73撤去,避免电芯发生松散或者叠片过程中发生位移,影响叠片的精度。
此外,实施例2中的第二叠片装置60也可以设置压板与压刀,用于压紧电芯。
请参阅图7-图9,以一优选实施例进行举例说明:初始时,第一复合料带200的首端(对应第一个折叠片的位置)放置一片第二片料302,然后再将第一片料301和第二片料302对应第三个折叠片放置于第一复合料带200上,接下来对应第五个折叠片放置第一片料301和第二片料302,并以此类推每间隔一个折叠片重复放置第一片料301和第二片料302,且每次放置的第一片料301和第二片料302与同一折叠片对应,第一复合料带200上放置第一片料301和第二片料302之后依次经过入料机构423、加热机构421及辊压机构422的处理从而复合形成第二复合料带304。换而言之,该实施例中,折叠时首端为仅带有第二片料302的第三层叠组件3041。
在其他实施例中,还可以是折叠时第二复合料带304的第三层叠组件3041位于首端,或者第四层叠组件3042位于首端。三个实施例中的折叠方式相同,在此结合图7-图9,以折叠时首端为仅带有第二片料302的第三层叠组件3041为例进行说明:
抓取前,压板73移动进行避位,夹爪72将辊压机构422出料端的第二复合料带304抓取并平移到叠片台71上,此时第一复合料带200首端的仅带有 第二片料302的第三层叠组件3041与叠片台71接触,压板73下压将其压紧,然后夹爪72撤出并回到辊压机构422的出料端继续抓取第二个第三层叠组件3041,压刀74抵压在第三层叠组件3041上,压刀74压住之后压板73撤去。
接下来夹爪72抓取第二个第三层叠组件3041并平移到叠片台71上,压刀74保持压紧且随叠片台71下降,第二复合料带304的首端的第三层叠组件3041随之下降,夹爪72抓取第二个第三层叠组件3041并平移到叠片台71上时,与首端的第三层叠组件3041相邻的第四层叠组件3042会覆盖在首端的第三层叠组件3041上,而且抓取的第二个第三层叠组件3041也会覆盖在该第四层叠组件3042上,从而实现折叠。
折叠之后压板73再一次压紧,然后将夹爪72撤走继续抓取后面的第三层叠组件3041,接下来将压刀74抽出再一次抵压在另一个第三层叠组件3041上,并随叠片台71下降。
需要解释的是,夹爪72抓取方式为间隔一个层叠组件进行抓取,即每次抓取的层叠组件与上次抓取的层叠组件之间间隔一个层叠组件。如上所述抓取第三层叠组件3041时,由于第三层叠组件3041与第四层叠组件3042是交替连接的,因此夹爪72将第二个第三层叠组件3041抓取到前一个第三层叠组件3041的正上方时,两个第三层叠组件3041之间的第四层叠组件3042会发生折叠。
可以理解的是,本实施例的第三叠片装置70中的夹爪72和叠片台71的动作与实施例2中的第二叠片装置60中的夹爪62和叠片台61的动作相同。
结合上述实施例,需要总结说明的是,上述实施例中的第一片料301、第二片料302及折叠片均为极片,第一隔膜202和第二隔膜203均为隔膜,故折叠后形成的电芯实际上就是极片与隔膜多次层叠形成的结构。
同时,在实施例1和实施例2中,第二复合料带的结构相同,故采用相同的标号,以便于理解,而实施例3中的第二复合料带与实施例1及实施例2中的结构不同,故采用不同的标号,以便于区分。而且两种第二复合料带的制备可通过更改第一片料装置20和第二片料装置30贴片顺序实现,这是本领域技术人员根据实施例3中的说明可以毫无疑义地确定的。
此外,可以理解的是,第一叠片装置50、第二叠片装置60及第三叠片装置70均为用于对第二复合料带进行折叠处理的叠片装置,第一叠片装置50和第二叠片装置60能用于将多个第三层叠组件和多个第四层叠组件交替层叠形成电芯,第三叠片装置70也能用于将多个第一层叠组件和多个第二层叠组件交替层叠形成电芯。
在一具体实施例中,第一电极料带201为负极,第一片料301及第二片料302为正极极片。在另一具体实施例中,第一电极料带201为正极,第一片料301及第二片料302为负极极片。
以上所述实施例的各技术特征可以进行任意的组合,为使描述简洁,未对上述实施例中的各个技术特征所有可能的组合都进行描述,然而,只要这些技术特征的组合不存在矛盾,都应当认为是本说明书记载的范围。
