Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of lithium-ion battery stacking, and specifically relates to a thermal stacking device for lithium-ion batteries. Background Art

[0002] The stacking process is a relatively important step in the assembly process of lithium-ion batteries, that is, the positive and negative electrode sheets and the separator are compounded into a core package according to the specified order and size, so as to obtain the size of the target core package; then the positive and negative electrode sheets and the separator are adhered to each other as a whole through preheating pressing and hot pressing, so that it has good product performance and processability.

[0003] The existing stacking-preheating pressing-hot pressing process mainly has the following problems: 1. The process integration ability is not strong; there is no binding effect between the positive and negative electrode sheets and the separator during the stacking process. When the stacked battery cell is transferred to the hot pressing process, there is a risk of core package misalignment due to vibration; 2. The hot pressing process has a narrow process window suitable for the battery cell; in the hot pressing process, pressure is applied to the core package by two upper and lower hot pressing plates, and at the same time, the high temperature is transferred from the two large sides of the core package to the center by the pressing plates; for a core package with a higher thickness, the temperature transfer time is long, and the hot pressing process duration needs to be increased, which affects the production efficiency; at the same time, the outer electrode sheets are continuously pressed for too long at the target temperature, which will cause the powder of the electrode sheets to adhere to the separator, affecting the performance of the final product.

[0004] In the existing process, through preheating pressing - tunnel furnace, etc., in the state where the core package is shaped, the core package obtains a relatively uniform target temperature in a non-pressurized state through a production line in a high-temperature environment, and then is pressurized for a short time, and an ideal core package state can be obtained. This process requires an additional tunnel furnace device, and the floor area is much larger than that of the stacker and the hot press, and a large investment is required in terms of factory building, equipment budget and energy consumption.
