Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to battery detection technical field, especially relate to a kind of soft package lithium ion battery tab ultrasonic false welding detection device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, the application of lithium ion battery is more and more extensive, and the market demand is more and more large, which promotes the development of lithium ion battery production and manufacturing, among which, the tab can be obtained by welding or laser cutting pole piece in the battery production process. Because dust will be generated in the process of laser cutting pole piece, if these dusts are attached to the pole piece coiled material and brought into the following process, or even rolled into the battery, it is easy to pierce the diaphragm paper in the battery, causing the battery micro short circuit, and even leading to battery explosion and other safety hazards. Therefore, welding is still the mainstream method to obtain battery tab.

[0003] In the soft package lithium ion battery manufacturing process, the tab is welded on the pole piece by ultrasonic wave, and the phenomenon of false welding should not be required, otherwise the battery will be scrapped due to no charging and output power. In the process of continuous welding of pole piece, abnormal conditions such as welding pressure, parameter not adjusted well, foreign matter in head, head wear and equipment failure often occur, resulting in the phenomenon that the welding device has welding action, but no energy output or insufficient energy output. At this time, the tab will be stuck together with the pole piece under the extrusion of the welding head and the welding seat, but actually there is no welding fusion. This false welding phenomenon is difficult to see from the appearance, especially the tab will be pasted with positive and negative protective green glue, so that the false tab is more difficult to be found.

[0004] The conventional method to prevent whether the tab on the pole piece is false welding is as follows: three tabs of welded pole pieces are taken for sampling at the beginning of daily production, the pulling force of the tab peeling off the pole piece is measured, and whether the welding mark on the tab has pole piece substrate residue is observed. The pulling force is greater than or equal to 5N, or the pole piece substrate residue area on the tab reaches 80% of the welding mark area, which is qualified. After normal production, the quality inspector will stop the running tab welding machine every 1 hour, take a pole piece with tab, and confirm the peeling force of the tab and the substrate residue again. This testing method is not only low in efficiency, but also cannot find the problem in time (once found, the welding in the previous 1 hour may be false welding), which not only affects the production efficiency, but also causes the final scrapped battery or the complaint of customer end due to the incomplete inspection of part of the false tab.
