电池单体具有工作电压高、比能量大、体积小、循环寿命长、无记忆效应等优点,因此广泛应用于多种用电装置。用电装置可以是车辆、手机、便携式设备、笔记本电脑、轮船、航天器、电动玩具和电动工具等等。车辆可以是燃油汽车、燃气汽车或新能源汽车,新能源汽车可以是纯电动汽车、混合动力汽车或增程式汽车等;航天器包括飞机、火箭、航天飞机和宇宙飞船等等;电动玩具包括固定式或移动式的电动玩具,例如,游戏机、电动汽车玩具、电动轮船玩具和电动飞机玩具等等;电动工具包括金属切削电动工具、研磨电动工具、装配电动工具和铁道用电动工具,例如,电钻、电动砂轮机、电动扳手、电动螺丝刀、电锤、冲击电钻、混凝土振动器和电刨等等。本申请实施例对上述用电装置不做特殊限制。
电池单体可以包括锂离子电池单体、锂硫电池单体、钠锂离子电池单体、钠离子电池单体或镁离子电池单体等,本申请实施例对此并不限定。电池单体可呈圆柱体、扁平体、长方体或其它形状等,本申请实施例对此也不限定。
电池单体包括电极组件和电解液,电极组件包括正极极片、负极极片和隔离件。电池单体主要依靠金属离子在正极极片和负极极片之间移动来工作。正极极片包括正极集流体和正极活性物质层,正极活性物质层涂覆于正极集流体的表面;正极集流体包括正极涂覆区和连接于正极涂覆区的正极极耳,正极涂覆区涂覆有正极活性物质层,正极极耳未涂覆正极活性物质层。以锂离子电池单体为例,正极集流体的材料可以为铝,正极活性物质层包括正极活性物质,正极活性物质可以为钴酸锂、磷酸铁锂、三元锂或锰酸锂等。负极极片包括负极集流体和负极活性物质层,负极活性物质层涂覆于负极集流体的表面;负极集流体包括负极涂覆区和连接于负极涂覆区的负极极耳,负极涂覆区涂覆有负极活性物质层,负极极耳未涂覆负极活性物质层。负极集流体的材料可以为铜,负极活性物质层包括负极活性物质,负极活性物质可以为碳或硅等。隔离件的材质可以为PP(polypropylene,聚丙烯)或PE(polyethylene,聚乙烯)等。
在电极组件的生产过程中,需要设置传动辊来引导极片走带、变向。发明人注意到,由于极耳较薄,所以极耳很容易在极片的走带过程中弯折, 造成极片不合格。如果检查到极耳弯折,那么极片通常进行报废处理,造成物料浪费;如果极耳的弯折没有被检查出,那么当极片组装成电极组件时,弯折的极耳可能会将正负极导通,使产品存在安全风险。
鉴于此,本申请实施例提供了一种极耳整形装置,其通过设置整形面,以在极耳经过整形面时翻转极耳,从而对极耳进行整形,减小极耳弯折的角度,提高产品的优率。
本申请实施例描述的极耳整形装置,既可以用于对正极极片的正极极耳进行整形,也可用于对负极极片的负极极耳进行整形。
图1为极片的一结构示意图;图2为极片的另一结构示意图。
如图1和图2所示,极片1包括极片主体11和从极片主体11的端部引出的极耳12。示例性地,极片主体11为极片1的涂覆有活性物质层111的区域,极耳12为极片1的未涂覆活性物质层111的区域。
极耳12的厚度较小,强度较低,在极片1的走带过程中,极耳12可能会因为重力、气流或其它因素而相对于极片主体11弯折。
示例性地,图2示出了极耳12的四种状态,即正常状态、第一弯折状态、第二弯折状态和第三弯折状态。当然,在极片1的生产过程中,极耳12还可存在其它状态。
在极耳12处于正常状态时,极耳12大体平行于极片主体11。极耳12相对于极片主体11弯折的角度β指的是:极耳12当前状态相对于极耳12的正常状态弯折的角度。
例如,在极耳12处于第一弯折状态S1时,极耳12相对于极片主体11弯折的角度β1满足:0°<β≤90°;在极耳12处于第二弯折状态S2时,极耳12相对于极片主体11弯折的角度β2满足:90°<β<180°;在极耳12处于第三弯折状态S3时,极耳12相对于极片主体11弯折的角度β大体为180°。
本申请实施例提供的极耳整形装置,可用于对极耳12进行整形,以减小极耳12相对于极片主体11弯折的角度β。
下面结合附图详细描述本申请的极耳整形装置。
图3为本申请一些实施例提供的极耳整形装置2的结构示意图;图 4为图3所示的整形构件21的一结构示意图;图5为图3所示的整形构件21的另一结构示意图;图6为图3所示的极耳整形装置2的俯视示意图。
如图3至图6所示,本申请实施例的极耳整形装置2用于设置在极片1的走带路径上,极片1包括极片主体11和从极片主体11的端部引出的极耳12。极耳整形装置2设有整形面211,整形面211被配置为:在相对于极片主体11弯折的极耳12经过整形面211时翻转极耳12,以减小极耳12相对于极片主体11弯折的角度。
极耳整形装置2适用于存在极耳12弯折风险的设备,例如极耳整形装置2可用于安装到极片1的模切设备、电极组件的卷绕设备或其它设备。
极片1在走带的过程中会经过极耳整形装置2。需要说明的是,极片1经过极耳整形装置2,并不要求极片1一定与极耳整形装置2接触。例如,当极片1的极耳12相对于极片主体11弯折的角度较小时(例如小于5°时),极片1的极耳12可以不与整形面211接触。
本申请对整形面211的形状不作特别限制,只要整形面211能够引导极耳12翻转即可。示例性地,整形面211可以是一个平滑的曲面,也可以是由多个平面连续拼接而成的面。
整形面211用于对极耳12进行整形,以减小极耳12相对于极片主体11弯折的角度。在经过整形面211后,只要极耳12相对于极片主体11弯折的角度减小至设定的范围即可,不要求极耳12经过整形面211后一定与极片主体11平行。示例性地,在极耳12经过整形面211后,极耳12相对于极片主体11弯折的角度小于15°即可。
在本申请实施例中,通过设置整形面211,以在极耳12经过整形面211时翻转极耳12,从而对极耳12进行整形,减小极耳12弯折的角度,提高产品的优率,降低电池单体的安全风险。整形面211能够自动识别极耳12是否存在弯折情况,这样可以节省极耳12的检查工序,提高生产效率。
在一些实施例中,整形面211包括螺旋面,螺旋面用于在相对于极片主体11弯折的极耳12经过螺旋面时翻转极耳12。
螺旋面是一种几何曲面,是由一条母线绕着一条轴线作螺旋运动而 形成的曲面。示例性地,螺旋面为正螺旋面。
螺旋面为一种平滑的曲面,其能够引导极耳12翻转,并降低极耳12在翻转过程中褶皱的风险。
在一些实施例中,螺旋面旋转的角度可为30°-180°。示例性地,螺旋面旋转的角度可为30°、60°、90°、120°、150°或180°。
在一些实施例中,整形面211包括第一边缘211a、第二边缘211b、第三边缘211c和第四边缘211d,第一边缘211a和第二边缘211b分别连接于第三边缘211c的两端并垂直于第三边缘211c,第四边缘211d连接于第一边缘211a背离第三边缘211c的一端和第二边缘211b背离第三边缘211c的一端。第二边缘211b相对于第一边缘211a绕第三边缘211c旋转的角度为α,α为60°-190°。
第一边缘211a和第三边缘211c可以直接相连,也可以间接相连。示例性地,为了降低极耳12被划伤的风险,可以在第一边缘211a和第三边缘211c的交界处设圆角,以使第一边缘211a和第三边缘211c通过圆弧边缘相连。
第二边缘211b和第三边缘211c可以直接相连,也可以间接相连。示例性地,为了降低极耳12被划伤的风险,可以在第二边缘211b和第三边缘211c的交界处设圆角,以使第二边缘211b和第三边缘211c通过圆弧边缘相连。
在本实施例中,整形面211大体为螺旋状,其能够引导极耳12翻转,并降低极耳12在翻转过程中褶皱的风险。由于α为60°-190°,因此整形面211可以将极耳12翻转较大的角度,以提高极耳整形装置2的适用性。
在一些实施例中,第一边缘211a、第二边缘211b和第三边缘211c均为直线状,第四边缘211d为曲线状。
在一些实施例中,α为175°-185°。整形面211可以用于对大角度回折的极耳12进行整形,以使极耳整形装置2具有较好的适用性。
例如,当极耳12回折到极片主体11一侧时,极耳12相对于极片主体11弯折的角度β大体为180°;当极耳12进入整形面211后,整形 面211可以引导极耳12翻转175°-185°,以使极耳12大体与极片主体11平行。
在一些实施例中,α为180°。
在一些实施例中,第三边缘211c沿第一方向X延伸,第一边缘211a和第二边缘211b分别设于整形面211沿第一方向X的两端。极耳12从极片主体11沿第二方向Y的端部引出,第一边缘211a平行于第二方向Y。在第三方向Z上,第一边缘211a的投影和第三边缘211c的投影均位于极片主体11的投影内,第一方向X、第二方向Y和第三方向Z两两垂直。在第二方向Y上,第二边缘211b的至少部分凸出于极片主体11的引出极耳12的端部。
在极片1的走带过程中,沿极片1的走带方向,极耳12先经过第一边缘211a,再经过第二边缘211b。
如果第三边缘211c位于极片主体11沿第二方向Y的一侧,且第三边缘211c与极片主体11在第三方向Z不重叠,那么在极片1走带的过程中,极耳整形装置2的靠近第三边缘211c的部分可能与极耳12根部(极耳12根部指的是极耳12的连接于极片主体11的端部)的弯折部位干涉。在本实施例中,在第三方向Z上,第一边缘211a的投影和第三边缘211c的投影均位于极片主体11的投影内,这样可以降低极耳整形装置2与极耳12干涉的风险。
极耳12经过整形面211整形后,经由第二边缘211b脱离整形面211。在本实施例中,第二边缘211b的至少部分凸出于极片主体11的引出极耳12的端部,这样将极耳12引导至极片主体11沿第二方向Y的一侧,并使极耳12和极片主体11在第三方向Z上不重叠,减小极耳12相对于极片主体11弯折的角度。
在一些实施例中,第一边缘211a和第二边缘211b均平行于第二方向Y且分别位于第三边缘211c相反的两侧。
第二边缘211b相对于第一边缘211a绕第三边缘211c旋转的角度α为180°,第一边缘211a、第二边缘211b、第三边缘211c以及第四边缘211d围成的整形面211可以用于对大角度回折的极耳12进行整形,能 够实现极耳12的180°翻转。
在一些实施例中,整形面211的靠近第一边缘211a的部分背向极片主体11,整形面211的靠近第二边缘211b的部分面向极片主体11。
在一些实施例中,极耳12在展平状态下沿第二方向Y的尺寸为H1,第一边缘211a的尺寸为H2,第二边缘211b的尺寸为H3,H1、H2和H3满足:H2≥H1,H3≥H1。
展平状态指的是极耳12相对于极片主体11弯折的角度β为0°的状态。
在第二方向Y上,第一边缘211a相对于极耳12具有较大的尺寸,当极耳12经过第一边缘211a时,如果极耳12与第一边缘211a接触,第一边缘211a可以支撑极耳12,以有效地引导极耳12进入整形面211。在第二方向Y上,第二边缘211b相对于极耳12具有较大的尺寸,当极耳12经由第二边缘211b离开整形面211时,第二边缘211b可以对极耳12整体进行整形,以改善极耳12的整形效果。
在一些实施例中,H2大于H1。示例性地,H2=H1+5mm。
在一些实施例中,H3大于H1。示例性地,H3=H1+5mm。
在一些实施例中,在第二方向Y上,第三边缘211c和极片主体11的引出极耳12的端部之间的间距为H4,H4为0.5mm-10mm。
在极片1的走带过程中,极片1可能会在第二方向Y上出现偏差。如果H4过小,那么极耳整形装置2的位于第三边缘211c周围的部分可能会因为极片1的偏差而挤压极耳12的根部,引发极耳12损伤的风险。鉴于此,发明人使H4的值大于或等于0.5mm,以降低极耳12损伤风险,提高安全性。
H4的值越大,整形面211在第二方向Y上与极耳12的的间距也越大。如果H4过大,那么极耳12和整形面211的接触面积偏小,甚至不与整形面211接触,这样会影响极耳12的整形效果。鉴于此,发明人使H4的值小于或等于10mm,以改善极耳12的整形效果。
可选地,H4为0.5mm、1mm、2mm、4mm、5mm、8mm或10mm。
在一些实施例中,H4为1mm-5mm。
图7为图3所示的极耳整形装置2的正视示意图;图8为本申请一些实施例提供的极耳整形装置2的整形构件21和引导构件22的结构示意图;图9为图8所示的整形构件21的结构示意图;图10为图8所示的整形构件21和引导构件22在另一角度下的结构示意图。
如图7至图10所示,在一些实施例中,极耳整形装置2包括整形构件21和引导构件22。整形构件21具有整形面211,整形面211沿第一方向X的两端具有第一边缘211a和第二边缘211b。引导构件22连接于整形构件21,在第一方向X上,引导构件22的至少部分凸出于第一边缘211a。
极片1可以沿第一方向X经过整形构件21。在极片1的走带过程中,极片1先经过第一边缘211a,再经过第二边缘211b。
第一边缘211a和第二边缘211b分别位于整形面211沿第一方向X的两端。示例性地,第一边缘211a沿垂直于第一方向X的方向延伸,第二方向Y沿垂直于第一方向X的方向延伸。
引导构件22和整形构件21可以是一体式结构,也可是分体式结构。示例性地,引导构件22和整形构件21为分开提供的两个构件,两者通过粘接、卡接、熔接或其它方式连接。
引导构件22可用于引导极耳12与整形面211接触。
在装配极耳整形装置2时,使第一边缘211a和第二边缘211b的布置方向与极片1的走带方向相反,在极片1走带的过程中,如果极耳12回折到极片主体11上,引导构件22可以插入到极耳12和极片主体11之间,以将极耳12铲起并引导极耳12与整形面211接触,从而改善极耳12的整形效果,降低极耳12损伤的风险。
在一些实施例中,整形构件21还具有用于面向极片1的第一表面212,整形面211与第一表面212相交,且两者之间的交线包括第一边缘211a和第二边缘211b。引导构件22包括连接部221和引导部222,连接部221附接于第一表面212,在第一方向X上,引导部222凸出于第一表面212。
第一表面212用于面向极片主体11。引导构件22位于整形构件21的面向极片主体11的一侧。
第一表面212可以是平面,也可以是曲面。可选地,第一表面212为平面。
附接是指贴附连接,示例性地,连接部221可通过粘接、吸附、嵌合或其它方式附接于第一表面212。可选地,连接部221可粘接于第一表面212。
引导部222在第一方向X上凸出于第一表面212,其未附接到第一表面212。
连接部221可以覆盖第一表面212的一部分,也可以完全覆盖第一表面212。
引导部222可用于插入到极耳12和极片主体11之间,以将极耳12铲起并引导极耳12与整形面211接触,从而改善极耳12的整形效果,降低极耳12损伤的风险。引导构件22的连接部221连接到整形构件21,当引导部222经过多次使用后出现磨损时,直接更换引导构件22即可,无需更换整形构件21。
在一些实施例中,第一表面212为平面。当极耳12经过第一表面212时,第一表面212可以将极耳12导正。
在一些实施例中,连接部221粘接于第一表面212。
在一些实施例中,连接部221完全覆盖第一表面212。当极耳12经由第二边缘211b离开整形面211时,连接部221可以将第一表面212和极耳12隔开,降低第一表面212与极耳12摩擦的风险。
在一些实施例中,引导构件22的弹性模量小于整形构件21的弹性模量。弹性模量指的是杨氏模量。
相对于整形构件21,引导构件22具有较好的弹性;当引导构件22插入极耳12和极片主体11之间并铲起极耳12时,极耳12不易被具有较好弹性的引导构件22损伤。
在一些实施例中,引导构件22可由柔性材质制成。可选地,引导构件22为mylar片。
在一些实施例中,当极片1经过极耳整形装置2时,引导构件22与极片主体11间隔设置,这样可以避免引导构件22与极片主体11摩擦, 降低引导构件22和极片主体11磨损的风险。
在一些实施例中,极片主体11从引导构件22沿第三方向Z背离整形构件21的一侧经过。示例性地,当极片主体11经过引导构件22时,极片主体11和引导构件22在第三方向Z上的间距w满足:0<w≤1mm。可选地,w为0.1mm、0.3mm、0.5mm、0.8mm或1mm。
在一些实施例中,引导构件22由非金属材质制成。当极耳12与引导构件22接触时,极耳12会与引导构件22摩擦。本申请实施例的引导构件22由非金属材质制成,这样可以减少摩擦产生的金属颗粒,降低金属颗粒掉落到极片主体11的风险,提高安全性。
在一些实施例中,整形构件21由非金属材质制成。
当极耳12经过整形面211并与整形面211接触时,极耳12会与整形构件21摩擦。本申请实施例的整形构件21由非金属材质制成,这样可以减少摩擦产生的金属颗粒,降低金属颗粒掉落到极片主体11的风险,提高安全性。
在一些可替代的实施例中,整形构件21包括金属基体和设置于金属基体表面的非金属层,非金属层形成整形面211。
非金属层可以通过电镀、机械镀、喷涂、热浸或其它工艺形成于金属基体的表面。
非金属层可以完全覆盖金属基体,也可以仅覆盖金属基体的一部分,只要与整形面211对应的部分为非金属层即可。
金属基体可以使整形构件21具有较高的强度,降低整形构件21的变形。当非金属层出现磨损时,只需修复非金属层即可,这样可以延长整形构件21的使用寿命。
可选地,非金属层还形成第一表面212。
图11为本申请一些实施例的极耳整形装置2的整形构件21、引导构件22和抚平构件23的结构示意图;图12为图3所示的极耳整形装置2的局部放大示意图;图13为图12所示的极耳整形装置2的剖视示意图。
如图11至图13所示,在一些实施例中,极耳整形装置2还包括抚平构件23,抚平构件23连接于整形构件21,在第一方向X上,抚平构 件23位于第二边缘211b的背离第一边缘211a的一侧,抚平构件23用于抚平经过整形面211之后的极耳12。
抚平构件23可通过卡接、焊接、紧固件连接或其它方式连接于整形构件21。
抚平构件23可以通过自身结构抚平极耳12,示例性地,抚平机构可包括相对设置的两个板,极耳12从两个板之间穿过时,两个板对极耳12进行抚平。可替代地,抚平构件23也可通过与其它结构配合来抚平极耳12,例如,抚平构件23可与用于引导极片1走带的辊轮配合,以抚平极耳12。
在极耳12经由第二边缘211b离开整形面211后,抚平构件23可以在极耳12行进的过程中约束极耳12,降低极耳12再次翻折的风险,进而对极耳12进行抚平,减少极耳12的褶皱,改善极耳12的形态。
在一些实施例中,抚平构件23的至少部分为圆弧形。抚平构件23的呈圆弧形的部分可用于与传动极片1的辊轮配合,以抚平极耳12。
在一些实施例中,抚平构件23的用于抚平极耳12的表面为非金属材质,以降低抚平构件23和极耳12摩擦产生金属颗粒的风险。
在一些示例中,抚平构件23整体由非金属材质制成。在一些替代的示例中,抚平构件23包括金属基体和设置于金属基体表面的非金属层,非金属层用于抚平极耳12。
在一些实施例中,极耳整形装置2还包括辊轮24,辊轮24用于引导极片1走带。整形构件21连接于辊轮24,抚平构件23用于抚平从辊轮24和抚平构件23之间穿过的极耳12。
辊轮24既可以引导极片1走带,还可与抚平构件23配合来抚平极耳12,这样可简化极耳整形装置2的结构。
在一些实施例中,辊轮24包括安装轴241和可转动地连接于安装轴241的辊筒242,辊筒242用于引导极片1走带。极耳整形装置2还包括固定构件25,连接于整形构件21和安装轴241,以将整形构件21固定于安装轴241。
本实施例通过设置固定构件25来实现整形构件21的安装和固定, 以提高整形构件21的稳定性,简化极耳整形装置2的整体结构。
在另一些可替代地实施例中,极耳整形装置2也可省去辊轮24、固定构件25等结构,这样,极耳整形装置2具有较小的体积和简单的结构,其可以根据需要方便地安装。
在一些实施例中,抚平构件23的呈圆弧形的部分所对应的包角可根据极耳12沿走带方向的尺寸确定,只要抚平构件23的呈圆弧形的部分能够完全覆盖极耳12即可。例如,如图13所示,抚平构件23的呈圆弧形的部分的包角可为60°-120°,可选地,抚平构件23的呈圆弧形的部分的包角可为90°。
图14为本申请一些实施例的极耳整形装置2的整形构件21、引导构件22和抚平构件23的结构示意图。如图14所示,抚平构件23的呈圆弧形的部分也可具有较大的包角。例如,抚平构件23的呈圆弧形的部分的包角可为120°-180°,可选地,抚平构件23的呈圆弧形的部分的包角可为150°。
图15为本申请另一些实施例的极耳整形装置2的简化示意图。
如图15所示,极耳整形装置2可设置为两个,两个极耳整形装置2可沿极片1的走带方向设置。一个极耳整形装置2用于对翻折到极片主体11的一侧的极耳12进行整形,另一个极耳整形装置2用于对翻折到极片主体11的另一侧的极耳12进行整形。
