Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of adhesive tapes, in particular to a tab spacing protection adhesive tape structure. Background Art

[0002] Lithium batteries are widely used because of their advantages such as high operating voltage, high energy density, long cycle life, fast charging and discharging, safety and reliability. With the development of new energy, the use of lithium batteries in various industries is also increasing rapidly.

[0003] The lithium battery assembly process includes the following steps: first, the coated positive and negative electrodes are wound into a positive electrode sheet, separator, negative electrode sheet, and separator formation. The positive and negative electrodes are then pre-welded, cut, and finally welded to the tab sheet. The cutting process easily generates metal powder. Due to the large gaps between separators during the winding process, metal powder can easily fall into the electrode assembly and battery, causing micro-short circuits within the battery cell due to the metal dust. This can lead to excessive self-discharge of the lithium battery and poor consistency between batteries.

[0004] In order to prevent metal powder from falling into the unit and battery cells and to protect the final welding points, a layer of brown tab tape is generally pasted on the final welding points. However, the diaphragm stacking layer is not protected after pasting, so the battery cells are still at risk of being contaminated by metal powder. In addition, the traditional brown tab tape is easily affected by the electrolyte and automatically falls off, resulting in a sharp increase in the internal resistance of the battery cells and an increase in the consistency differences between the battery cells. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a tab spacing protection tape structure, which has a lighter unwinding force. When in use, the spacing adhesive layer at one end is adhered to the final welding point of the positive / negative electrode sheet and the Tab sheet, the blank layer covers the positive / negative electrode sheet and the diaphragm stacking layer, and the spacing adhesive layer at the other end is adhered to the diaphragm. In this way, not only can the final welding point be protected but also the metal dust particles remaining on the tab can be prevented from falling into the electrode group or the battery cell, but also the tab protection tape can be prevented from automatically falling off into the battery cell, causing a sharp increase in the internal resistance of the battery cell and an increase in the consistency difference between the battery cells.

[0006] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows:

[0007] A tab spacing protective tape structure is characterized in that: it includes a non-silicone release layer, a substrate layer is provided at the upper end of the non-silicone release layer, and a spacer adhesive layer is provided on both sides of the width at the upper end of the substrate layer, the width of the substrate layer is the same as the width of the non-silicone release layer, the outer side of the spacer adhesive layer coincides with the outer side of the substrate layer in the width direction, and the two spacer adhesive layers have the same width; the substrate layer uses one of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polypropylene (PP) as the substrate, and the substrate thickness is 12~25μm; the non-silicone release agent selected for the non-silicone release layer is a polyethylene aliphatic hydrocarbon mixture, the polyethylene aliphatic hydrocarbon mixture is dissolved in toluene and then evenly coated on the non-corona surface of the substrate through a micro-concave roller; the glue of the spacer adhesive layer is a nitrile rubber modified acrylic adhesive, and the glue thickness is 10~25μm.

[0008] Furthermore, a blank layer is formed between the two spacer adhesive layers.

[0009] Furthermore, a transparent adhesive layer is provided between the two spacer adhesive layers and at the upper end of the spacer adhesive layer, and the width of the upper end of the transparent adhesive layer is the same as the width of the substrate layer.

[0010] Furthermore, the adhesive width of the spacer adhesive layer is 20-40 mm, and the width of the blank layer is 20-1000 mm.

[0011] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0012] The utility model has a lighter unwinding force. When in use, the spacer adhesive layer at one end is adhered to the final welding point of the positive / negative electrode sheet and the Tab sheet, the blank layer covers the positive / negative electrode sheet and the diaphragm stacking layer, and the spacer adhesive layer at the other end is adhered to the diaphragm. In this way, it can not only protect the final welding point but also prevent the metal dust particles remaining on the pole ear from falling into the pole group or battery cell, but also prevent the pole ear protection tape from automatically falling off into the battery cell, causing the internal resistance of the battery cell to increase sharply, and the consistency difference between the battery cells to increase.
