Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a positioning mechanism for preventing air bags from sticking during precision cutting, and belongs to the technical field of lithium battery preparation. Background Art

[0002] Lithium batteries are widely used in various fields due to their large capacity, excellent cycle performance, and high environmental friendliness. Using lithium-ion batteries to power devices has become a mainstream trend. Among the various lithium-ion battery packaging methods, soft-pack lithium-ion batteries have become the mainstream due to their superior safety, lighter weight for the same capacity, and higher capacity within the same size specifications. For soft-pack lithium-ion batteries, the stability of their heat seals significantly impacts battery performance. Poor seals can lead to battery bulging and leakage, compromising battery safety. The soft-pack battery packaging process generally consists of three steps: primary sealing, secondary sealing, and final cutting, which typically operate in a continuous manner. During the final cutting process, the softened PP adhesive often adheres to the cutter blade due to a short heat seal cooling time, compromising cutting quality. This can eventually cause the softened PP adhesive to adhere to the battery and be carried over to the next step, leading to issues such as abnormal folding or leakage at the soft-pack seal. Therefore, ensuring that the soft-pack seals are cooled and sealed properly during the final cutting process and preventing accumulation at the final cutting edge has become a critical technical challenge that needs to be addressed.
