It has broad application prospects in portable appliances, power tools, large-scale energy storage, electric transportation power supply, etc.

[0003] The safety performance and shape plasticity of soft-pack lithium-ion batteries mainly come from their own packaging material, aluminum-plastic film, which is a packaging material composed of three layers of nylon, metal aluminum layer, and polypropylene layer (Polymer polypropylene, PP). During the packaging process, the innermost PP layer fuses with each other under appropriate temperature control, and after cooling, a closed internal space of the battery cell is formed to prevent the electrolyte inside the battery cell from contacting with external air and moisture, thereby ensuring the quality and performance of the battery.

[0004] In the prior art, the battery includes an outer unsealed area, a sealed area, an inner unsealed area and a cell containing area. When the battery is packaged, a clamp is needed to position the battery. However, in order to facilitate the packaging of the head, the clamp is generally clamped in the cell containing area of ​​the battery to ensure the distance between the sealed area and the battery body. However, since the aluminum-plastic film is a relatively soft material, if it is not constrained during the thermal composite process, wrinkles are likely to appear during packaging, which will affect the packaging effect of the aluminum-plastic film and cause the aluminum-plastic film packaging to fail.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0041] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 6 The utility model is further described in detail, but it is not intended to limit the utility model.

[0042] The battery packaging fixture 100 of the embodiment of the utility model includes a first clamping member 10 and a second clamping member 20 arranged opposite to each other, the first clamping member 10 has a first clamping area 11, the second clamping member 20 has a second clamping area 21 corresponding to the first clamping area 11, and the first clamping area 11 and the second clamping area 21 are both provided with a packaging opening 30, and the packaging opening 30 is used to correspond to the position of the sealing area 202 of the battery 200.

[0043] Compared with the prior art, the battery packaging fixture 100 of the embodiment of the utility model uses a first clamping member 10 and a second clamping member 20 in cooperation with each other. The first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 20 are relatively arranged, and the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 20 are used to cooperate with each other to clamp the battery 200 to achieve positioning of the battery 200 and prevent the battery 200 from being displaced during the packaging process. By setting a first clamping area 11 on the first clamping member 10, and setting a second clamping area 21 on the second clamping member 20, the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 20 are both provided with a packaging opening 30. During the packaging process, the first clamping area 11 and the second clamping area 21 are used to cooperate with each other to clamp the packaging area of ​​the battery 200, and the heat sealing member can pass through the packaging opening 30 to package the sealing area 202 of the battery 200, thereby effectively reducing the probability of wrinkles generated when packaging the battery 200, improving the flatness of the aluminum-plastic film 207 in the packaging area of ​​the battery 200, thereby improving the packaging effect of the battery 200 and increasing the yield rate of the battery 200.

[0044] In some embodiments, along the length direction d of the battery packaging fixture 100, the first clamping area 11 and the second clamping area 21 are further provided with a first unsealed area 40 and a second unsealed area 50, and the packaging opening 30 is provided between the first unsealed area 40 and the second unsealed area 50. By providing the first unsealed area 40 and the second unsealed area 50, the packaging opening 30 is provided between the first unsealed area 40 and the second unsealed area 50, and when the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 20 cooperate to clamp the battery 200, the first unsealed area 40 is used to correspond to the outer unsealed area 201 of the battery 200, and the second unsealed area 50 is used to correspond to the inner unsealed area 203 of the battery 200, so that the battery packaging fixture 100 can better adapt to the size and shape of the battery 200, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the battery 200, so as to ensure the accuracy and consistency of packaging the battery 200.

[0045] Further, the width h of the second unsealed area 50 is smaller than the width g of the first unsealed area 40. Specifically, the width h of the second unsealed area 50 is 1 to 3 mm narrower than the width g of the first unsealed area 40. For example, the width h of the second unsealed area 50 is 1 mm, 1.2 mm, 1.5 mm, 1.8 mm, 2 mm, 2.3 mm, 2.6 mm or 3 mm narrower than the width g of the first unsealed area 40, but is not limited to the listed values, and other values ​​within the numerical range are also applicable.

[0046] In some embodiments, the first clamping member 10 further has a third clamping area 12, the second clamping member 20 further has a fourth clamping area 22 corresponding to the third clamping area 12, the first clamping area 11 is arranged at least one end of the third clamping area 12, and the second clamping area 21 is arranged at least one end of the fourth clamping area 22. Through the arrangement of the third clamping area 12 and the fourth clamping area 22, the third clamping area 12 and the fourth clamping area 22 are used to cooperate with the battery cell accommodating area 204 of the battery 200, which can further enhance the clamping stability of the battery packaging fixture 100 on the battery 200. By adding the third clamping area 12 and the fourth clamping area 22, the position of the battery 200 can be better fixed to prevent it from moving or deforming during the thermal composite process.

[0047] In some embodiments, a first avoidance groove 111 is provided on the side of the first clamping area 11 facing the second clamping area 21, and a second avoidance groove 211 is provided on the side of the second clamping area 21 facing the first clamping area 11, and the positions of the first avoidance groove 111 and the second avoidance groove 211 correspond. By providing the first avoidance groove 111 and the second avoidance groove 211, when the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 20 clamp the battery 200, the first avoidance groove 111 and the second avoidance groove 211 can cooperate to form an avoidance space between the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 20, and the tab 205 of the battery 200 can be accommodated in the avoidance space to avoid pinching off or damaging the tab 205 of the battery 200.

[0048] In some embodiments, the distance between the first avoidance groove 111 and the second avoidance groove 211 is L, satisfying the relationship: 2a+2b+c≤L, wherein a is the thickness of the single-layer aluminum-plastic film 207 of the battery 200, b is the thickness of the single-layer tab glue 206 of the battery 200, and c is the thickness of the tab 205 of the battery 200. By controlling the distance L between the first avoidance groove 111 and the second avoidance groove 211, it is ensured that the tab 205 of the battery 200 can be accommodated in the avoidance space formed by the first avoidance groove 111 and the second avoidance groove 211, so as to avoid pinching off or damaging the tab 205 of the battery 200.

[0049] By controlling the distance L between the first avoidance groove 111 and the second avoidance groove 211, if L<2a+2b+c, that is, the distance L between the first avoidance groove 111 and the second avoidance groove 211 is less than the thickness of the battery 200 in the area of ​​the pole lug 205, the pole lug 205 cannot be completely accommodated in the avoidance space formed by the first avoidance groove 111 and the second avoidance groove 211, and when the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 20 clamp the battery 200, it is easy to pinch off or damage the pole lug 205 of the battery 200. Therefore, when 2a+2b+c≤L, that is, the distance L between the first avoidance groove 111 and the second avoidance groove 211 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the battery 200 in the area of ​​the pole lug 205, it is ensured that the pole lug 205 of the battery 200 can be accommodated in the avoidance space formed by the first avoidance groove 111 and the second avoidance groove 211, and the pole lug 205 of the battery 200 is avoided from being pinched off or damaged.

[0050] In some embodiments, along the thickness direction f of the battery packaging fixture 100, the first avoidance groove 111 and the second avoidance groove 211 both include a first accommodating area 60 and a second accommodating area 70, the second accommodating area 70 is connected to the first accommodating area 60, and the width of the second accommodating area 70 is smaller than the width of the first accommodating area 60. Through the coordinated use of the first accommodating area 60 and the second accommodating area 70, the first accommodating area 60 is used to accommodate the tab glue 206 of the battery 200, and the second accommodating area 70 is used to accommodate the tab 205 of the battery 200, so that the first avoidance groove 111 and the second avoidance groove 211 can better adapt to the size and shape of the tab 205 of the battery 200, thereby enabling the battery packaging fixture 100 to better adapt to the size and shape of the battery 200, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the battery 200, so as to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the packaged battery 200. By making the width of the second accommodating area 70 smaller than the width of the first accommodating area 60 , it is prevented that the tab glue 206 of the battery 200 is squeezed during the process of clamping the battery 200 , causing the tab glue 206 to overflow and affect the packaging effect of the battery 200 .

[0051] It should be noted that by adjusting the size and shape of the first accommodating area 60 and the second accommodating area 70 , it is possible to better adapt to the requirements of different tabs 205 and tab glue 206 , thereby improving the applicability of the battery packaging fixture 100 .

[0052] In some embodiments, the edge of the first clamping member 10 and / or the edge of the second clamping member 20 is provided with a limiting protrusion 80, the limiting protrusion 80 is located between the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 20, and a battery accommodating space 90 is formed between the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 20. The setting of the limiting protrusion 80 allows the operator to more conveniently place the battery 200 into the clamping member, simplifies the operation process, and improves production efficiency. At the same time, the limiting protrusion 80 can also prevent the battery 200 from accidentally sliding out during the packaging process, improves the positioning effect of the battery 200, and improves the safety of production.

[0053] In some embodiments, along the width direction e of the battery packaging fixture 100, the limiting protrusions 80 are located on both sides of the first clamping member 10 and / or on both sides of the second clamping member 20. By arranging the limiting protrusions 80 on both sides of the first clamping member 10 and / or on both sides of the second clamping member 20, it is effectively prevented that the limiting protrusions 80 interfere with the tabs 205 of the battery 200 during the process of clamping the battery 200, thereby affecting the positioning and packaging of the battery 200.

[0054] It should be noted that the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 20 have the same structure.

[0055] A battery packaging device according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises the battery packaging fixture 100 according to the above embodiment.

[0056] According to the disclosure and teaching of the above description, the technicians in the field of the utility model can also change and modify the above implementation. Therefore, the utility model is not limited to the above specific implementation, and any obvious improvement, replacement or modification made by the technicians in this field on the basis of the utility model belongs to the protection scope of the utility model. In addition, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for the convenience of explanation and do not constitute any limitation to the utility model.
