在本申请的一些实施例中,还包括:夹持送料机构,设置于卷绕机构上游,用于将阴极极片、阳极极片和隔膜的头部夹持送入第一半卷针和第二半卷针之间。通过在卷绕机构的上游设置夹持送料机构,可以将阴极极片、阳极极片和隔膜的头部顺利引导至卷绕机构的第一半卷针和第二半卷针之间。

在一些情形中,在卷绕电极组件时,通常先利用卷针组件夹持隔膜头部并卷绕若干圈后,再使阴极极片和阳极极片的头部进入两层隔膜之间,通过两个隔膜夹持阴极极片和阳极极片进行卷绕,而阴极极片和阳极极片的头部在进入两层隔膜时,容易与卷针组件碰撞,从而发生阴极极片和阳极极片的头部打折的问题。
为了解决该问题,申请人尝试采用了吹气机构、导向机构、吸附机构等多种结构,以改善阴极极片及阳极极片的头部与卷针组件的碰撞,但是均不能很好的解决上述问题。
申请人通过进一步研究,在本申请中提出一种卷绕方法、卷绕机、电机组件及电池单体,该方案采用卷针组件同时夹持阴极极片、阳极极片和隔膜的头部进行卷绕,使得阴极阳极和隔膜头部不会与卷针组件外周接触,从而解决了阴极极片及阳极极片的头部与卷针组件发生碰撞而出现打折的问题。
下面首先结合附图,对本申请实施例提供的一种卷绕方法进行说明。
请参照图1,图1为本申请实施例提供的一种卷绕方法的流程图。本申请实施例提供的一种卷绕方法,用于卷绕阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13以形成电极组件1。该方法应用于卷绕机。卷绕机包括可伸缩运动的卷针组件21。卷针组件21包括可相对运动的第一半卷针211和第二半卷针212。
如图1所示,该卷绕方法可以包括如下步骤:
S101,将阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13的头部夹设于在卷绕工位221处的卷针组件21的第一半卷针211和第二半卷针212之间。
其中,在卷绕阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13之前,第一半卷针211和第二半卷针212直接夹持入料的阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13的头部。
S102,旋转在卷绕工位221处的卷针组件21以卷绕阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13,从而形成电极组件1。
其中,卷针组件21的旋转方向可以为顺时针旋转,也可以为逆时针旋转。具体的旋转方向根据实际需要而定,本申请对此不作具体限定。
本申请提供的卷绕方法,在卷绕阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13之前,第一半卷针211和第二半卷针212直接夹持入料的阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13的头部,取代了在一些情形中先卷绕隔膜13,再通过隔膜13卷绕阴极极片11和阳极极片12,因此可以避免阴极极片11和阳极极片12在开始卷绕时发生打折,从而解决在一些情形下在对阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13进行卷绕时,阴极极片11和阳极极片12的头部容易发生打折的问题。
请参照图2,图2为本申请实施例提供的另一种卷绕方法的流程图。本申请实施例还提供另一种卷绕方法,该卷绕方法包括:
S201,将阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13的头部夹设于在卷绕工位221处的卷针组件21的第一半卷针211和第二半卷针212之间。
S202,旋转在卷绕工位221处的卷针组件21以卷绕阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13。
本申请实施例中,S201~S202可与上述实施例中S101~S102的步骤相同,在此不再赘述。
S203,在卷绕工位221上游切断阴极极片11。
S204,将卷针组件21从卷绕工位221移动到下游的非卷绕工位222。
其中,上、下游是指阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13相对于卷绕工位221的来料和去料方向,其与卷绕工位221本身的位置并没有关系。
需要说明的是,S204移动卷针组件21的步骤可以与上述S203切断阴极极片11的步骤同时进行,也可以在上述S203切断阴极极片11的步骤之前或之后进行。具体选择哪种方式,可以根据阴极极片11的实际长度确定。
可以理解的是,通过将卷绕工位221的卷针组件21移动到下游的非卷绕工位222,可以为下一电极组件1的卷绕提前做好准备,从而使电极组件1的生产节奏保持连续。
S205,将位于非卷绕工位222的另一卷针组件21移动到卷绕工位221。
需要说明的是,S205移动非卷绕工位222的另一卷针组件21的步骤可以与S204移动卷针组件21的步骤同时进行,也可以在S204移动卷针组件21的步骤之前或之后,本申请实施例对此并不做具体限定。
S206,位于卷绕工位221的另一卷针组件21夹持用于形成下一个电极组件1的阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13的头部。
其中,当位于非卷绕工位222的另一卷针组件21移动到卷绕工位221之后,该另一卷针组件21可以伸出并夹持用于形成下一个电极组件1的阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13的头部。
S207,在卷绕工位221和非卷绕工位222之间切断阳极极片12和隔膜13。
在切断阳极极片12和隔膜13之后,便重复上述步骤继续对下一个电极组件1进行夹持和卷绕。在先的电极组件1则进入后续贴收尾胶和下料的步骤,由于贴收尾胶和下料属于本领域公知常识,在此不进行赘述。
本申请实施例提供的方案中,在卷绕阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13的同时,先切断阴极极片11,在阴极极片11完全卷绕、仅留有阳极极片12和隔膜13时,再切断阳极极片12和隔膜13。这样,不用每次卷绕一个电极组件1时,将阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13的头部送入第一半卷针211和第二半卷针212中间,卷绕工位221的第一半卷针211和第二半卷针212只需夹持切断前的阳极极片12和隔膜13,然后在卷绕工位221和非卷绕工位222之间切断阳极极片12和隔膜13,不用多次送料,提高了卷绕效率。
在本申请的一些实施例中,在上述实施例的步骤S203之后,该卷绕方法还可以包括如下步骤:
将切断后的阴极极片11的头部送入位于卷绕工位221的另一卷针组件21的第一半卷针211和第二半卷针212之间。
可以理解的是,将切断后的阴极极片11的头部置于第一半卷针211和第二半卷针212之间,便可以通过上述实施例的步骤S206中对阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13的头部进行夹持并卷绕,以形成下一个电极组件1。
在本申请的一些实施例中,上述卷绕方法实施例中还包括如下步骤:
在卷绕工位221上游,夹持送料机构3将阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13的头部共同夹持并送入第一半卷针211和第二半卷针212之间。
本申请实施例中,可以采用夹持送料机构3驱动阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13进入卷绕机构2。通过夹持送料机构3,可以将阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13的头部顺利引导至卷绕机构2的第一半卷针211和第二半卷针212之间。为了布局清晰,夹持送料机构3的具体结构在下文装置实施例中具体说明。
在本申请的一些实施例中,上述卷绕方法实施例中还可以包括如下步骤:
在阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13的头部进入第一半卷针211和第二半卷针212之间后,伸缩机构驱动夹持阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13的夹持送料机构3向第一方向L偏移,阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13的头部进入第一半卷针211和第二半卷针212之间的方向为第二方向M,第一方向L与第二方向M相交。
本申请实施例中,伸缩机构驱动夹持送料机构3向第一方向L偏移,能够使阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13的头部回退并置于第一半卷针211和第二半卷针212之间,从而可以有效防止电极组件1内部阳极极片12堆积,提高电极组件1的质量。其中,伸缩机构可以为气缸、油缸、滚珠丝杠等,实际应用中可根据实际需要灵活选择。
在本申请的一些实施例中,上述卷绕方法实施例中,在将阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13的头部夹设于在卷绕工位221处的卷针组件21的第一半卷针211和第二半卷针212之间的步骤之前,可以包括如下步骤:
将阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13复合。
本申请实施例提供的方案,在将阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13的头部夹设在卷针组件21之前,还可以对阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13进行复合。复合方式包括但不限于加热复合或通过在隔膜13上添加粘结剂的方式冷复合。其中,阳极极片12和隔膜13的复合可以在卷绕机内部完成,也可在卷绕机外部完成后再通过卷绕机进行卷绕。
本申请实施例通过将阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13复合,可有效地将阴极极片11、阳极极片12与隔膜13固定在一起,使得阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13的头部更加容易进入第一半卷针211和第二半卷针212之间。
请参照图3和图4,图3为本申请实施例提供的一种卷绕机夹持阴极极片、阳极极片和隔膜头部时的结构示意图;图4为本申请实施例提供的一种卷绕机在切断阳极极片和隔膜并卷绕阴极极片、阳极极片和隔膜时的结构示意图。
如图3和图4所示,本申请实施例还提供了一种卷绕机,该卷绕机包括:
卷绕机构2,包括卷针组件21,卷针组件21用于卷绕阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13,以形成电极组件1,卷针组件21包括第一半卷针211和第二半卷针212,第一半卷针211和第二半卷针212被配置为可相对运动,以夹持阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13的头部。
其中,卷针组件21的结构可以有多种,例如可以是柱状结构、块状结构等;该柱状结构、块状结构可以由第一半卷针211、第二半卷针212拼接而成。第一半卷针211、第二半卷针212的结构在下文中将详细说明,在此不进行赘述。此外,第一半卷针211和第二半卷针212均可以在阴极极片11或阳极极片12的宽度方向(如图3和图4中垂直纸面的方向)伸缩,以夹持阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13。
本申请实施例提供的卷绕机中,卷针组件21包括可相对运动的第一半卷针211和第二半卷针212。该卷绕机在卷绕阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13之前,第一半卷针211和第二半卷针212直接夹持入料的阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13的头部,取代了在一些情形中先卷绕隔膜13,再通过隔膜13卷绕阴极极片11和阳极极片12,因此可以避免阴极极片11和阳极极片12在开始卷绕时发生打折,从而解决在一些情形下在对阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13进行卷绕时,阴极极片11和阳极极片12的头部容易发生打折的问题。
在本申请的一些实施例中,卷绕机还可以包括:夹持送料机构3,设置于卷绕机构2上游,用于将阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13的头部夹持送入第一半卷针211和第二半卷针212之间。
本申请实施例通过在卷绕机构2的上游设置夹持送料机构3,可以将阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13的头部顺利引导至卷绕机构2的第一半卷针211和第二半卷针212之间。
在本申请的一些实施例中,夹持送料机构3包括第一夹辊31、第二夹辊32和驱动机构,第一夹辊31和第二夹辊32被配置为可相对运动以夹持阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13,第一夹辊31和/或第二夹辊32与驱动机构连接,以输送阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13。
本申请实施例通过驱动机构带动第一夹辊31和/或第二夹辊32转动,可以方便的实现对阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13的牵引驱动,避免对阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13牵拉,造成损伤的问题。
此外,由于夹持送料机构3通过驱动机构主动地将阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13的头部夹持送入卷绕机构2,即夹持送料机构3提供牵引力,驱动阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13运动,可以使将阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13受力更加均衡,避免阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13发生过大的变形。
在本申请的一些实施例中,卷绕机还可以包括:伸缩机构,伸缩机构与夹持送料机构3相连,用于在阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13进入第一半卷针211和第二半卷针212之后,驱动夹持送料机构3沿第一方向L移动;其中,阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13的进入第一半卷针211和第二半卷针212之间的方向为第二方向M,第一方向L与第二方向M相交。
本申请实施例提供的夹持送料机构3本身不仅可以驱动阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13运动,而且夹持送料机构3在伸缩机构的带动下也可以发生运动。具体而言,与夹持送料机构3相连的伸缩机构可以推动或拉动夹持送料机构3沿第一方向L移动。其中,第一方向L与阴极极片11和隔膜13进入第一半卷针211和第二半卷针212之间的第二方向M相交。第一方向L和第二方向M之间的夹角可以为钝角、锐角,也可以为直角。
本申请实施例通过伸缩机构驱动夹持送料机构3向第一方向L偏移,能够使阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13的头部回退并置于第一半卷针211和第二半卷针212之间,从而可以有效防止电极组件1内部阳极极片12堆积,提高电极组件1的质量。
在本申请的一些实施例中,卷绕机还可以包括:第一切刀4,用于切断阴极极片11,第一切刀4设置于卷绕机构2的上游。
本申请实施例在卷绕机构2的上游设置第一切刀4,可以在阴极极片11被放卷至预设长度时,及时的切断阴极极片11。
在本申请的一些实施例中,卷绕机构2还可以包括转塔22,转塔22上设置有多个卷针组件21,转塔22用于将多个卷针组件21在卷绕工位221和非卷绕工位222之间切换,在卷绕工位221的卷针组件21用于卷绕阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13以形成电极组件1。
其中,卷绕机构2的转塔22可以通过自身的转动使多个卷针组件21在卷绕工位221和非卷绕工位222之间切换。多个卷针组件21可以呈环形阵列设置于转塔22上。卷针组件21相对于转塔22伸缩运动和转动,可以实现对阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13的夹持、释放及卷绕。
非卷绕工位222的数量至少为一个。当非卷绕工位222仅为一个时,该非卷绕工位222可同时用于对电极组件1贴收尾胶以及下料。当非卷绕工位222为两个以上时,可以在一个非卷绕工位222对电极组件1贴收尾胶,在另一个非卷绕工位222对电极组件1进行下料。
本申请实施例中,通过转塔22使卷针组件21在卷绕工位221和非卷绕工位222之间的切换,能够实现电极组件1的连续、不间断的生产。
在本申请的一些实施例中,卷绕机还可以包括第二切刀5,第二切刀5用于切断阳极极片12和隔膜13,第二切刀5设置于卷绕工位221和非卷绕工位222之间。
本申请实施例在卷绕工位221和非卷绕工位222之间设置第二切刀5,可以在切断的阴极极片11被完全卷入隔膜13之后,同时切断阳极极片12和隔膜13。
在采用第二切刀5进行切断时,可以通过一次用刀即同时切断阳极极片12和隔膜13,而不用分两次分别切断阳极极片12和隔膜13;并且切断后的阳极极片12和隔膜13的头部在卷绕下一个电极组件1时被卷针组件21夹持,不用再次进行入料动作,因此可以进一步提高卷绕效率。
在本申请的一些实施例中,卷绕机还可以包括导向辊6,导向辊6位于卷绕工位221和非卷绕工位222之间;其中,阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13的进入第一半卷针211和第二半卷针212之间的方向为第二方向M,导向辊6与第二方向M相切。
本申请实施例通过设置与第二方向M相切的导向辊6,可使位于卷绕工位221的卷针组件21顺利伸出并夹持阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13。
在本申请的一些实施例中,如图5和图6所示,第一半卷针211包括第一平面214;第二半卷针212包括第二平面215;第一平面214和第二平面215为夹持阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13的平面;第一平面214或第二平面215的端部形成有缺口218。
可以通过截取第一半卷针211或第二半卷针212的一部分结构,获得缺口218。在本申请中第一半卷针211和第二半卷针212的截面形状根据实际需要进行设计,例如可以是如图5所示的半圆形,也可以是如图6所示的半菱形。如图5所示,当第一半卷针211或第二半卷针212的横截面为半圆形时,去除一部分结构后,该半圆形可以包括弧形曲面213、第一平面214和连接弧形曲面213和第一平面214的第三平面217;其中第三平面217与第一平面214的夹角为钝角;弧形曲面213的弧度小于π弧度。又如图6所示,当第一半卷针211或第二半卷针212的横截面为三角形时,去除一部分结构后,该三角形可以包括第一平面214、第四平面219、第五平面220和连接第五平面220与第一平面214的第三平面217。
此外,第一半卷针211和第二半卷针212的外圆周还设有凹槽216,该凹槽216用于夹持电极组件1,实现电极组件1的下料。
本申请实施例中,通过在第一平面214或第二平面215的端部形成缺口218,使得阳极极片12和隔膜13在第一平面214和第二平面215之间的路径变长,从而可以使切断的阳极极片12和隔膜13的头部回收进入卷针组件21,从而使阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13位于第一半卷针211和第二半卷针212内部,避免阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13卷绕在第一半卷针211或第二半卷针212的外圆周,防止电极组件1内部阳极极片12堆积,提高电极组件1的质量。
为了对卷绕完成的电极组件1进行贴收尾胶和下料,如图3和图4所示,本申请实施例提供的卷绕机还可以包括设置在非卷绕工位222的贴收尾胶机构7和下料机构8,由于贴收尾胶机构7和下料机构8属于本领域公知常识,在此不进行详细说明。
此外,参见图7,本申请实施例还提供一种电极组件1,该电极组件1采用上述任一的卷绕方法制作而成。
本申请实施例提供的电池单体的电极组件1可以通过上述实施例中的卷绕方法制作而成。可以理解的是,由于上述实施例的方法在开始卷绕之前,先将阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13的头部夹设于在卷绕工位221处的卷针组件21的第一半卷针211和第二半卷针212之间,因此通过该方法制作的阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13位于电极组件1的最内圈。
本申请实施例提供的电池单体中,阴极极片11和阳极极片12的头部平整,电池单体具有工作稳定,使用安全、可靠的优点。
在本申请的一些实施例中,阳极极片12的头部与隔膜13的头部平齐。
在本申请的一些实施例中,阳极极片12的尾部与隔膜13的尾部平齐。
其中,电极组件1由阴极极片11、阳极极片12和隔膜13叠加卷绕而成。根据卷绕的方向不同,可以将阳极极片12置于阴极极片11和隔膜13的最上层或最下层。需要说明的是,针对上述阳极极片12的不同位置,可以采用相应卷绕方向进行卷绕,从而获得的电极组件1中阳极极片12位于电极组件1的最内层。
由于在一些情形中在卷绕电极组件时,通过是先卷绕隔膜13,然后再卷绕阴极极片11和阳极极片12,因此,在一些情形中电极组件均具有多圈隔膜13,该多圈隔膜13并不参加电极反应。与相关技术中电极组件相比,参见图7,本申请实施例中由于阳极极片12与隔膜13的头部、尾部平齐,电极组件1中的隔膜13相较于相关技术中电极组件显著变短,因此有效减小了不参加电极反应的隔膜13的长度,提高了电池单体的能量密度。
最后,本申请实施例还提供一种电池单体,包括上述任一的电极组件1。
本申请提供的电池单体,由于具有上述电极组件1,因此具有上述电极组件1所具有的所有有益效果。
在本申请的一些实施例中,隔膜13的数量为两个;阴极极片11夹设在两个隔膜13之间。
本申请实施例中,阴极极片11夹设在两个隔膜13之间,可以使阴极极片11得到两侧隔膜13的保护,改善了阴极极片11头部出现打折的情况。
最后应说明的是:以上各实施例仅用以说明本申请的技术方案,而非对其限制;尽管参照前述各实施例对本申请进行了详细的说明,本领域的普通技术人员应当理解:其依然可以对前述各实施例所记载的技术方案进行修改,或者对其中部分或者全部技术特征进行等同替换;而这些修改或者替换,并不使相应技术方案的本质脱离本申请各实施例技术方案的范围,其均应涵盖在本申请的权利要求和说明书的范围当中。尤其是,只要不存在结构冲突,各个实施例中所提到的各项技术特征均可以任意方式组合起来。本申请并不局限于文中公开的特定实施例,而是包括落入权利要求的范围内的所有技术方案。
