Therefore, the performance requirements for lithium-ion batteries are increasingly stringent, and the demand for higher production efficiency is also growing to reduce costs. In the battery production process, polymer batteries are packaged in aluminum-plastic bags. After cold-pressing, the corner areas of the casing experience the most significant stretching. Furthermore, bending occurs at the battery corners during subsequent double-sided sealing processes, making the bottom corners highly susceptible to cracking and leakage. Batteries with cracked bottom corners on-site all exhibit sharp creases. To prevent sharp creases at the folding edges during bending, a bottom corner sealing function is required. How to implement an offline bottom corner sealing function to reduce defects is a pressing problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content
