Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of battery separators, and particularly to an aerogel battery separator structure and a manufacturing device thereof. Background Art

[0002] Aerogel is a new material with a nano-porous structure, having excellent physical and chemical properties such as high porosity, low density, high specific surface area, and excellent heat insulation. It shows potential application prospects in the battery field. Its applications in batteries mainly focus on the optimization of electrode materials, electrolytes, or battery components.

[0003] When implementing the hot pressing composite process of polyimide (PI) film to enhance the dielectric strength and radiation resistance of the system, due to the inherent lack of intrinsic flexibility and ultra-thin structural characteristics of the aerogel material, the periodic volume deformation caused during the charge and discharge cycle of the blade battery will lead to a non-uniform mechanical stress field distribution on the separator.

[0004] This dynamic stress loading mechanism will trigger the micro-crack propagation and interface delamination effect at the aerogel / PI composite interface. After long-term cycling, cumulative structural creep will occur, and finally the macroscopic displacement of the aerogel separator exceeds the critical threshold. This displacement phenomenon will damage the continuous heat insulation barrier and dielectric isolation layer between adjacent battery cells, thereby increasing the probability of thermal runaway propagation and the risk of dielectric failure, significantly affecting the safe operating window of the battery module. Summary of the Invention

Detailed implementation manners

[0019] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0021] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installation", "provided with", "sheathed / connected", "connection", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0022] Example 1, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a gas gel battery separator structure includes a gas gel separator 1. The gas gel separator 1 includes a gas gel pad 11 and a buffer film 12 sequentially arranged from the inside to the outside. The buffer film 12 is provided in a double layer and is symmetrically distributed with respect to the gas gel separator 1; The buffer film 12 is made of polyimide and is attached to the outer surface of the gas gel pad 11. Buffer airbags are provided on the buffer film 12, and a thermosetting epoxy glue is coated on the edges of the buffer film 12 and the gas gel pad 11; Furthermore, a silica gel frame 2 is provided around the gas gel separator 1. The buffer film 12 is installed on the surface of the silica gel frame 2, and the silica gel frame 2 is formed by hot pressing two layers of silica gel borders; It should be noted that: The gas gel separator 1 is arranged between two blade batteries and is made of a heat-insulating material. By coating a thermosetting epoxy glue on the gas gel pad 11, after the buffer film 12 is heat-pressed and attached, the buffer film 12 can be sealed on the outer surface of the gas gel pad 11. And through the buffer airbags provided in the buffer film 12, the two blade batteries can be buffered and isolated. When the blade batteries deform during charging and discharging, the buffer airbags can fit the blade batteries during the deformation process, preventing the blade batteries from directly contacting the gas gel separator 1 and causing it to shift; The further advantages of adopting the above are as follows: An aerogel pad 11 fitting groove is provided on the silicone rubber frame, so that when the buffer film 12 is hot-pressed onto the aerogel pad 11, synchronous hot-pressing can be carried out to form a complete silicone rubber frame 2 and an aerogel interlayer 1. Thus, the silicone rubber frame 2 provides support for the aerogel interlayer 1 to prevent it from shifting or deforming, and improves the sealing performance of the barrier part, preventing the electrolyte of a single battery from being damaged and leaking, which affects the normal power supply of adjacent blade batteries.

[0023] Embodiment 2 proposed based on Embodiment 1, as Figures 3 to 14 shown, a manufacturing device for an aerogel battery interlayer structure includes a hot-pressing table 3 for manufacturing the aerogel interlayer 1. A conveying mechanism is arranged outside the hot-pressing table 3 for conveying each layer of raw materials of the aerogel interlayer 1. An assembling mechanism is arranged on the hot-pressing table 3 for hot-pressing and assembling each layer of the aerogel interlayer 1; It should be noted that: The aerogel pad 11, the buffer film 12 and the silicone rubber frame 2 of the aerogel interlayer 1 are transported and placed on the conveying mechanism by a suction cup type conveying device. Along with the operation of the conveying mechanism, they meet the buffer film 12 and the silicone rubber frame 2 and are transported to the assembling mechanism together for hot-pressing and assembling. Then, after the assembly is completed, the aerogel interlayer 1 is placed on the conveyor belt 4 again through the conveying mechanism to achieve the purpose of transporting the raw materials before the assembly of the aerogel interlayer 1 and the finished product after the assembly; Based on the above, the suction cup type conveying device is an existing device, which only provides the conveying service of the aerogel pad 11 for the conveying frame 41 and will not be elaborated hereinafter.

[0024] As Figures 3 to 6 shown, the conveying mechanism includes conveyor belts 4 symmetrically distributed around the hot-pressing table 3 in a rotational manner. The conveyor belts 4 intermittently convey the aerogel pads 11 through a stepping motor. A conveying frame 41 for storing the aerogel pads 11 is placed on the conveyor belts 4. A placing rack 411 is connected to the conveying frame 41 by bolts. An intermittent assembly table 5 is arranged between the conveyor belts 4 and the hot-pressing table 3. A feeding component is arranged inside the intermittent assembly table 5 for providing the buffer film 12 and the silicone rubber frame 2; It should be noted that: The placing racks 411 are arranged in two groups, and each group of placing racks 411 is composed of two horizontally fixed placing rods. Before conveying the aerogel pads 11, by manually calibrating and rotating the bolts, the distance between the placing racks 411 is adjusted to a spacing suitable for the size of the aerogel pads 11, so as to facilitate the subsequent alignment of the buffer film 12 and the silicone rubber frame 2 when they are fitted and positioned and conveyed to the upper and lower sides of the aerogel pads 11.

[0025] As Figure 5As shown, a servo motor 51 is disposed on the top of the spacer assembly table 5, an assembly frame 52 is fixed to the output shaft of the servo motor 51, an electric push rod 53 is disposed on the top of the assembly frame 52, an electromagnetic plate 531 that is magnetically attracted to the conveying frame 41 is disposed at the end of the electric push rod 53, and an inflation needle 54 is also disposed on the top of the assembly frame 52, and the inflation needle 54 is connected to an inflation tank 55 that stores inert gas through a connecting tube; Among them, the inert gas can be nitrogen, and a gas solenoid valve is provided in the connecting pipe to control the total amount of gas ejected outward from the inflation needle 54, and an inflation valve is provided at the bottom of the inflation tank 55 to replenish nitrogen after each inflation of the aerogel barrier 1, so as to ensure that the air pressure in the inflation tank 55 remains constant, thereby ensuring that the air pressure of the inflation needle 54 remains constant each time it is inflated; Based on the above, the gas solenoid valve and the inflation valve are permanent structures of the existing inflation equipment, which are existing technologies and will not be described in detail in the following. Furthermore, the conveying frame 41 is provided with an inflation hole adapted to the inflation needle 54, and the upper and lower surfaces of the conveying frame 41 are both open, and a limiting groove is provided on the top of the containing frame 411; It should be noted that: when the aerogel pad 11 is transported to the same level as the assembly frame 52 through the conveyor belt 4, the electric push rod 53 is started, and the conveying frame 41 is picked up by the energized electromagnetic plate 531, and after the conveying frame 41 moves to the top of the assembly frame 52, the inflation needle 54 is made to fit the upper and lower sides of the aerogel pad 11, and after the buffer film 12 moves to fit the surface of the aerogel pad 11, the inflation needle 54 is used to inflate the fitting area of ​​the two to provide an air source for the buffer airbag.

[0026] like Figures 6 to 9 As shown, the feeding assembly includes a feeding seat 6 arranged on one side of the spacer assembly table 5, a feeding module 61 is arranged on the feeding seat 6, a negative pressure suction cup 62 is arranged on the feeding module 61, and the inner wall of the negative pressure suction cup 62 is connected to an air pressure regulating push rod 64 through an air pressure regulating plug 63; Furthermore, a deflection port is provided on the side of the feeding module 61 at the bottom away from the spacer assembly table 5 to provide a turning space for the negative pressure suction cup 62, and a rubber ring for sealing is provided on the opposite side of the negative pressure suction cup 62; It should be noted that: when the servo motor 51 is started and the conveying frame 41 on the assembly rack 52 is conveyed to the position corresponding to the feeding seat 6, the feeding module 61 is started to drive the negative pressure suction cup 62 to pick up the buffer film 12 and the silicone frame 2 placed on the feeding seat 6, and under the operation of the feeding module 61, the buffer film 12 and the silicone frame 2 are moved toward the assembly rack 52, and finally the buffer film 12 and the silicone frame 2 are attached to the upper and lower sides of the aerogel pad 11, thereby completing the alignment and attachment operation of each layer of raw materials before hot pressing of the aerogel interlayer 1; Based on the above, two feeding modules 61 for sucking the upper and lower sides of the aerogel pad 11 are arranged side by side vertically, and the feeding module 61 is set as a linear sliding module, which can pick up the buffer film 12 and the silica gel frame 2 placed side by side vertically on the feeding seat 6. The silica gel frame 2 is placed above the buffer film 12, and the size of the edge of the silica gel frame 2 is larger than that of the buffer film 12. During the suction process by the negative pressure suction cup 62, the edge part of the silica gel frame 2 is also sucked by the negative pressure suction cup 62; Based on the above further, during the suction process of the buffer film 12 and the silica gel frame 2 by the negative pressure suction cup 62, the negative pressure suction cup 62 contacts the buffer film 12 and the silica gel frame 2 in advance, and then moves away from the negative pressure suction cup 62 by starting the air pressure adjusting push rod 64, so as to form a negative pressure in the negative pressure suction cup 62. Thus, when the feeding module 61 drives the negative pressure suction cup 62 to move, the suction force of the negative pressure suction cup 62 can ensure that the buffer film 12 and the silica gel frame 2 will not shift or fall off; The advantage of adopting the above is: at the initial stage of starting the feeding module 61, the initial state of the negative pressure suction cup 62 responsible for sucking the buffer film 12 and the silica gel frame 2 below the aerogel pad 11 is downward. After the negative pressure suction cup 62 picks up through negative pressure, the lead screw arranged in the feeding module 61 will drive the negative pressure suction cup 62 to rotate in the reverse direction until it rotates to the vertically upward state. When the feeding module 61 continues to work, it will drive this negative pressure suction cup 62 to cross the deflection port and maintain the vertically upward state, so as to attach the picked-up buffer film 12 and silica gel frame 2 to the lower side of the aerogel pad 11. And when the feeding module 61 drives in the reverse direction, the negative pressure suction cup 62 is turned downward at the deflection port to restore to the initial state with the negative pressure suction cup 62 facing downward, so that the buffer film 12 and the silica gel frame 2 can be quickly attached to the surface of the aerogel pad 11 according to the required state of the aerogel pad 11.

[0027] As Figures 12 to 14 shown, the assembly mechanism includes an assembly seat 7 arranged at the rotation center of a plurality of spaced assembly tables 5. A hot pressing frame 71 and a supporting frame 72 are arranged on the top of the assembly seat 7. Hot pressing plates 73 are arranged on the opposite sides of the hot pressing frame 71 and the supporting frame 72. The hot pressing plate 73 is composed of a movable pressing plate 731 and a fixed pressing plate 732. An electric heating coil for supplying heat is arranged in the hot pressing plate 73. A driving module 75 for driving the hot pressing frame 71 and the supporting frame 72 to move up and down in the reverse direction is arranged in the assembly seat 7; Further, a buffer arc groove is arranged on the opposite side of the fixed pressing plate 732, and the bottom of the movable pressing plate 731 at the bottom is fixed to the top of the supporting frame 72 through a compression spring column 74, maintaining a symmetrical state with the movable pressing plate 731 at the top; It should be noted that when the buffer film 12 and the silica gel frame 2 are attached to the surface of the aerogel pad 11 and rotated by the servo motor 51 to the corresponding position of the assembly seat 7, the driving module 75 is started to drive the hot pressing frame 71 and the supporting frame 72 to move in the closing direction, and the hot pressing plate 73 is heated by the electric heating coil to hot press each layer of the aerogel interlayer 1 to form the aerogel interlayer 1; Based on the above, the driving parts of the driving module 75 and the hot pressing frame 71 and the supporting frame 72 are set as lead screws with opposite spiral directions, so that when the motor in the driving module 75 rotates in one direction, the hot pressing frame 71 and the supporting frame 72 can be driven to move in the closing or separating direction; Based on the above further, when the hot pressing frame 71 and the supporting frame 72 are closed, the movable pressing plate 731 is the first to contact the buffer film 12, and a sealing ring is arranged between the movable pressing plates 731, which can seal the edge area of the aerogel interlayer 1 when the subsequent movable pressing plate 731 and the fixed pressing plate 732 hot press the aerogel interlayer 1, so as to ensure that during the hot pressing and assembling process of the inert gas, it can be sealed in the aerogel interlayer 1 to form a buffer airbag; Based on the above further, when the movable pressing plate 731 closest to the aerogel interlayer 1 fits on its surface, the electric push rod 53 can drive the conveying frame 41 to move outward from the assembly frame 52, and withdraw the inflation needle 54 from between the aerogel pad 11 and the buffer film 12, so as to avoid damaging the sealing performance of the edge of the aerogel interlayer 1 during the hot pressing process; The advantage of the above further is that two groups of compression spring columns 74 are provided, and each group is symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the movable pressing plate 731. When the supporting frame 72 and the hot pressing frame 71 are not closed, the movable pressing plate 731 in the supporting frame 72 can be supported upward by the compression spring column 74 to a symmetrically arranged state with the movable pressing plate 731 in the hot pressing frame 71, so as to pre-hot press the edge area of the aerogel interlayer 1 to ensure that when the fixed pressing plate 732 hot presses the aerogel interlayer 1 in the buffer arc groove, a buffer airbag is formed, which is convenient for subsequent installation between the blade batteries to adapt to the deformation occurring during its cyclic use.

[0028] As Figure 11 As shown in the figure, a hot melt adhesive coating assembly is arranged on the spaced assembly table 5. The hot melt adhesive coating assembly includes a coating cylinder 8. The bottom of the coating cylinder 8 is rotatably provided with a coating roller 81. The coating roller 81 is composed of an edge coating wheel 811 and a spaced coating rod 812. A glue outlet adapted to the coating roller 81 is opened on the coating cylinder 8, and a lifting hydraulic cylinder is arranged at the bottom of the coating cylinder 8. When the aerogel interlayer 1 after hot pressing and assembling is conveyed to the conveyor belt 4 through the electric push rod 53, the lifting hydraulic cylinder is started to lower the coating cylinder 8 so as not to coat the hot curing epoxy glue on the aerogel interlayer 1 on the conveying frame 41 again; It should be noted that during the process of transporting the aerogel pad 11 in the transport frame 41 to the assembly frame 52 by the electric push rod 53, the edge coating wheels 811 at the edge of the coating roller 81 can perform edge coating on both sides of the aerogel pad 11 close to the storage rack 411. Then, as the edge coating wheels 811 move along with the aerogel pad 11 and rotate themselves, they drive the spaced coating rods 812 to perform spaced coating on the surface of the aerogel pad 11, so as to adapt to the subsequent thermosetting adhesion of the contact part between the buffer film 12 and the aerogel pad 11 when forming the buffer airbag in the buffer film 12, thereby improving the structural stability of the buffer airbag.

[0029] As Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, a coating pretreatment assembly is arranged on the top of the feeding seat 6. The coating pretreatment assembly includes a wetting box 9. A wetting roller 91 is rotatably arranged in the wetting box 9. A hydrophilic pad is adhered to the outer surface of the wetting roller 91, and a saturated carbonic acid solution is contained in the wetting box 9; It should be noted that during the process of transporting the buffer film 12 and the silica gel frame 2 of the silica gel frame picked up relatively on the negative pressure suction cup 62 to the transport frame 41 driven by the servo motor 51 to rotate to the position closest to the feeding module 61 through the feeding module 61, the wetting roller 91 absorbs the saturated carbonic acid solution in the wetting box 9 and coats it on the opposite side of the buffer film 12 and the silica gel frame 2, so that when they come into contact with the aerogel pad 11, they can be mutually adhered through the carbonic acid solution, and during the hot pressing process, the carbonic acid solution decomposes into water and carbon dioxide to supplement the gas in the buffer airbag, achieving the effect of self-air supplement for the buffer airbag, so that there is no need to insert the inflation needle 54 into the contact part of the three again during the hot pressing process to damage the sealing performance of the buffer airbag.

[0030] Working principle: When the present invention manufactures the aerogel interlayer 1, when the aerogel pad 11 is transported to be level with the assembly frame 52 by the conveyor belt 4, the electric push rod 53 is started at this time. The transport frame 41 is picked up by the electromagnet plate 531 after being powered on. After the transport frame 41 moves to the top of the assembly frame 52, the inflation needle 54 is attached to the upper and lower sides of the aerogel pad 11. After waiting for the buffer film 12 to move and fit onto the surface of the aerogel pad 11, the inflation needle 54 inflates the fitting area of the two to provide a gas source for the buffer airbag; When the transport frame 41 rotates to the corresponding position of the feeding seat 6, the feeding module 61 is started to drive the negative pressure suction cup 62 to pick up the buffer film 12 and the silica gel frame 2 placed on the feeding seat 6. Under the action of the feeding module 61, it moves towards the assembly frame 52 and finally fits the buffer film 12 and the silica gel frame 2 on the upper and lower sides of the aerogel pad 11, thereby completing the alignment and fitting operation of each layer of raw materials before hot pressing of the aerogel interlayer 1; Based on the above, two feeding modules 61 for sucking the upper and lower sides of the aerogel pad 11 are arranged side by side vertically, and the feeding module 61 is set as a linear sliding module, which can pick up the buffer film 12 and the silica gel frame 2 placed side by side vertically on the feeding seat 6. The silica gel frame 2 is placed above the buffer film 12, and the size of the edge of the silica gel frame 2 is larger than that of the buffer film 12. During the suction process by the negative pressure suction cup 62, the edge part of the silica gel frame 2 is also sucked by the negative pressure suction cup 62; When the raw materials of each layer of the aerogel interlayer 1 are rotated to the hot pressing position of the assembly seat 7 by the servo motor 51, the driving module 75 is started to drive the hot pressing frame 71 and the supporting frame 72 to move in the closing direction, and the hot pressing plate 73 is heated by the heating coil to hot press each layer of the aerogel interlayer 1 to form the aerogel interlayer 1; Based on the above, when the hot pressing frame 71 and the supporting frame 72 are closed, the first to contact the buffer film 12 is the movable pressing plate 731, and a sealing ring is arranged between the movable pressing plates 731, which can seal the edge area of the aerogel interlayer 1 when the movable pressing plate 731 and the fixed pressing plate 732 hot press the aerogel interlayer 1 subsequently. So that when the central area of the aerogel interlayer 1 is hot pressed by the fixed pressing plate 732 subsequently, it is ensured that during the hot pressing and assembling process of the inert gas, it can be sealed in the aerogel interlayer 1 to form a buffer airbag, completing the hot pressing manufacture of the aerogel interlayer 1, and the servo motor 51 drives the assembly frame 52 to the conveyor belt 4 and pushes it onto the conveyor belt 4 to prepare for the next hot pressing manufacture of the aerogel interlayer 1.
