[0003] Solid-state lithium batteries use a solid electrolyte instead of the traditional liquid electrolyte, and the separator is omitted between adjacent electrode layers. After the cell is manufactured, a pressurization process is usually required to improve energy density and the adhesion between the electrodes. However, the pressurization process can easily lead to slippage between electrode layers and edge deformation. To solve this problem, an insulating frame is generally prepared on the solid electrolyte. The preparation of the insulating frame usually involves multiple processes such as coating and curing.

[0043] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a solid-state battery frame preparation device 10 and a solid-state battery processing equipment (not shown in the figure), wherein the solid-state battery processing equipment includes the solid-state battery frame preparation device 10.

[0044] The aforementioned solid-state battery frame preparation apparatus 10 can prepare an insulating frame on the surface of the electrode sheet, and the aforementioned solid-state battery processing equipment can stack the electrode sheets with the insulating frame to obtain a solid-state battery cell. In this way, adjacent electrode layers are separated by the insulating frame, thereby preventing internal short circuits in the cell caused by burrs and stacking misalignment. Simultaneously, the insulating frame also provides mechanical cushioning and assists in sealing, helping to improve the reliability and cycle life of the solid-state battery.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present invention, the solid-state battery adhesive frame preparation device 10 includes a dispensing platform 100, a support mechanism 200, a dispensing mechanism 300, and a curing mechanism 400.

[0046] The dispensing platform 100 primarily serves a load-bearing and supporting function. It includes a base 110, a first motion component 120, and a second motion component 130, which are mounted on the base 110. The base 110 can have a marble tabletop, providing high rigidity and stable support. The first motion component 120 and the second motion component 130 can employ the same structure, such as a linear motor. Alternatively, they can use a structure where a motor and a lead screw work together, as long as they can be driven in the first and second directions respectively.

[0047] The support mechanism 200 is used to support the electrode sheet. Specifically, the support mechanism 200 includes an adsorption plate (not shown in the figure) for supporting the electrode sheet. The surface of the adsorption plate is usually provided with adsorption holes, which can be connected to a negative pressure gas source to form a negative pressure on the surface of the adsorption plate. In this way, the electrode sheet can be adsorbed onto the surface of the adsorption plate, thereby effectively preventing the electrode sheet from shifting during the transfer of the electrode sheet by the support mechanism 200.

[0048] The support mechanism 200 is installed on the moving end of the first motion component 120, and the support mechanism 200 can move along a first direction under the drive of the first motion component 120. Moreover, the support mechanism 200 can move between the dispensing mechanism 300, the curing mechanism 400 and the loading and unloading station under the drive of the first motion component 120.

[0049] The aforementioned loading and unloading stations are generally located on one side edge of the dispensing platform 100 to facilitate the loading and unloading of electrode sheets. Specifically, in this embodiment, the solid-state battery adhesive frame preparation apparatus 10 further includes a dust removal mechanism 800, which is located at the loading and unloading station. When the carrier mechanism 200 moves to the loading and unloading station, the dust removal mechanism 800 can clean and remove dust from the carrier surface of the carrier mechanism 200, i.e., the surface of the adsorption plate, thereby effectively preventing contamination of the electrode sheets.

[0050] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the dust removal mechanism 800 includes a compressed air outlet component (not shown) and a negative pressure suction component (not shown). The compressed air outlet component can blow air onto the bearing surface of the bearing mechanism 200, while the negative pressure suction component can remove dust from the bearing surface by suction. Therefore, the combined effect of the compressed air outlet component and the negative pressure suction component can significantly improve the dust removal effect on the bearing mechanism 200.

[0051] The dispensing mechanism 300 is capable of performing dispensing operations, forming an adhesive residue on the electrode surface within its working range. The dispensing mechanism 300 is mounted on the moving end of the second motion component 130, and is capable of moving along a second direction under the drive of the second motion component 130. Specifically, in this embodiment, the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction, and the second direction refers to... Figure 1 The left and right directions are shown, while the first direction refers to... Figure 1 The vertical direction is shown. In this way, with the cooperation of the first motion component 120 and the second motion component 130, the dispensing mechanism 300 can move relative to the electrode on the support mechanism 200 in two mutually perpendicular degrees of freedom, thereby ensuring that the dispensing mechanism 300 can smoothly form an adhesive mark in the preset area of ​​the electrode.

[0052] The curing mechanism 400 is mounted on the dispensing platform 100, specifically on the base 110, and its position generally remains unchanged. The curing mechanism 400 emits curing light, which can cure the adhesive applied by the dispensing mechanism 300. Therefore, when an electrode with an adhesive print enters the working range of the curing mechanism 400, the curing mechanism 400 can cure the adhesive print to obtain a glue frame.

[0053] When it is necessary to frame the electrode sheet, the carrying mechanism 200 first moves to the loading and unloading station under the drive of the first motion component 120, so as to place the electrode sheet to be framed on the carrying mechanism 200; then the first motion component 120 moves the carrying mechanism 200 and the carried electrode sheet to the working range of the dispensing mechanism 300. With the cooperation of the first motion component 120 and the second motion component 130, the dispensing mechanism 300 dispenses glue onto the electrode sheet, thereby forming an adhesive mark on the preset area on the surface of the electrode sheet; next, the first motion component 120 moves the carrying mechanism 200 to the working range of the curing mechanism 400, and the curing mechanism 400 cures the adhesive mark on the surface of the electrode sheet to obtain the frame; finally, the first motion component 120 moves the carrying mechanism 200 back to the loading and unloading station, so that the framed electrode sheet can be removed, and the empty carrying mechanism 200 can be prepared to receive the next electrode sheet to be framed.

[0054] By repeating the above process, multiple electrode frames can be continuously manufactured sequentially. Furthermore, the solid-state battery frame manufacturing apparatus 10 can automatically achieve smooth transitions between each process, effectively improving efficiency, and is therefore suitable for large-scale continuous production.

[0055] Specifically, in this embodiment, the dispensing mechanism 300, the curing mechanism 400, and the loading / unloading station are spaced apart along the first direction, with the loading / unloading station located on the side of the curing mechanism 400 facing away from the dispensing mechanism 300. After receiving the electrode sheet for the frame, the carrying mechanism 200, driven by the first motion component 120, first moves along the first direction from the loading / unloading station into the working range of the dispensing mechanism 300, without stopping at the curing mechanism 400; after the electrode sheet is dispensed, the carrying mechanism 200, driven by the first motion component 120, moves along the first direction into the working range of the curing mechanism 400; after photocuring is completed, the first motion component 120 continues to move the carrying mechanism 200 along the original direction into the loading / unloading station. In this way, the movement trajectory of the carrying mechanism 200 is relatively simple, making the structure of the solid-state battery frame preparation device 10 more compact and its integration higher, thus making it suitable for direct integration into other lithium battery production equipment.

[0056] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the solid-state battery frame preparation apparatus 10 also includes a vision inspection mechanism 500, and the carrying mechanism 200 can pass through the vision inspection mechanism 500 under the drive of the first motion component 120. Moreover, the carrying mechanism 200 also includes a correction component (not shown), and the adsorption plate is mounted on the correction component.

[0057] The vision inspection mechanism 500 includes a high-precision camera that works in conjunction with a correction component to correct the electrode alignment. Specifically, after receiving the electrode to be framed, the carrying mechanism 200 enters the working range of the vision inspection mechanism 500 under the drive of the first motion component 120. The vision inspection mechanism 500 scans the position of the electrode. When there is a deviation between the current position of the electrode and the standard position, the correction component can drive the adsorption plate to translate or deflect at an angle, thereby correcting the electrode alignment. This ensures that the electrodes entering the working range of the dispensing mechanism 300 maintain consistent position, thus helping to improve dispensing accuracy.

[0058] More specifically, the vision inspection mechanism 500 is located between the dispensing mechanism 300 and the curing mechanism 400. After receiving the electrode sheet from the receiving frame, the bearing mechanism 200 passes through the vision inspection mechanism 500 before entering the working range of the dispensing mechanism 300, thereby correcting the electrode sheet before dispensing.

[0059] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the dispensing mechanism 300 includes a dispensing assembly 310 and a flattening assembly 320. The dispensing assembly 310 includes a dispensing valve 311 and a dispensing head 312, with the dispensing head 312 connected to the dispensing valve 311. The dispensing head 312 is generally elongated and hollow inside. When the dispensing valve 311 is opened, adhesive can enter the dispensing head 312 to achieve dispensing.

[0060] Specifically, in this embodiment, the dispensing assembly 310 further includes a dispensing cylinder 313, which is detachably connected to the dispensing valve 311. The dispensing cylinder 313 stores adhesive. After the dispensing valve 311 is opened, the adhesive in the dispensing cylinder 313 flows into the dispensing head 312 to achieve dispensing. Moreover, since the dispensing cylinder 313 is detachable, the corresponding dispensing cylinder 313 can be replaced according to different production processes, thereby switching the type of adhesive used for dispensing, so that the dispensing mechanism 300 can be adapted to various working conditions. Correspondingly, the curing mechanism 400 can also replace the curing light source so that the emitted curing light can match the type of adhesive used for dispensing.

[0061] The flattening assembly 320 and the dispensing assembly 310 are arranged side by side, specifically, the dispensing assembly 310 and the flattening assembly 320 are arranged side by side along a second direction. The flattening assembly 320 includes a lifting structure 321 and a holding member 322. The holding member 322 is installed at the moving end of the lifting structure 321 and can rise and fall under the drive of the lifting structure 321. Specifically, the holding member 322 can rise and fall parallel to the extension direction of the dispensing head 312 under the drive of the lifting structure 321. Of course, the holding member 322 can also rise and fall relative to the dispensing head 312 by swinging under the drive of the lifting structure 321. The extension direction of the dispensing head 312 is generally the up-down direction in actual operation. The lifting structure 321 can be driven by a cylinder, motor, and lead screw pair. The holding member 322 can be columnar or plate-shaped, as long as it can apply pressure to the electrode sheet.

[0062] During dispensing of adhesive to the electrode sheet, the holding member 322 first descends relative to the dispensing head 312 under the action of the lifting structure 321 until it protrudes downwards beyond the end of the dispensing head 312 and abuts against the electrode sheet to be dispensed. Next, the second motion component 130 moves the dispensing mechanism 300 along the second direction, causing the holding member 322 to move on the electrode sheet surface, thus flattening the electrode sheet. After the electrode sheet is flattened, the lifting structure 321 raises the holding member 322 relative to the dispensing head 312 until the dispensing head 312 protrudes downwards beyond the holding member 322. At this point, opening the dispensing valve 311 allows the dispensing head 312 to dispense adhesive onto the electrode sheet. Because the electrode sheet is effectively flattened before dispensing, its surface flatness is ensured, thus guaranteeing positioning accuracy during the dispensing process and significantly improving dispensing precision.

[0063] Specifically, in this embodiment, the lifting structure 321 includes a lifting drive component 3211, a guide rod 3212, and a guide block 3213. The guide rod 3212 is slidably inserted through the guide block 3213 and is connected to the lifting drive component 3211. The holding component 322 is connected to one end of the guide rod 3212. The lifting drive component 3211 and the guide block 3213 are fixedly installed. The guide rod 3212 and the guide block 3213 cooperate to limit and guide, thereby ensuring that the holding component 322 maintains high stability during the lifting process.

[0064] Specifically, in this embodiment, the pressing member 322 is configured as a pressure roller, which can rotate around its own axis. When the second motion component 130 drives the dispensing mechanism 300 to move in the second direction, the pressure roller can roll along the surface of the electrode to flatten the electrode. Flattening the electrode by roller pressing is more effective, and since there is rolling friction between the pressure roller and the electrode, the electrode is less likely to be damaged.

[0065] More specifically, in this embodiment, the surface of the pressure roller is covered with an elastic layer (not shown). The elastic layer can be a rubber layer or a silicone layer, and it can undergo elastic deformation under compression. On the one hand, the elastic layer can better fill the gap between the pressure roller and the electrode, thereby improving the flattening effect of the roller. On the other hand, the elastic layer can act as a buffer, further reducing the probability of damaging the electrode.

[0066] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the axis of the pressure roller can be reversibly deflected relative to the lifting structure 321. That is, the pressure roller can elastically float relative to the lifting structure 321, so that the pressure roller can better fit with the electrode surface during the rolling process along the electrode surface, thereby further improving the effect of roller pressing and flattening.

[0067] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the flattening assembly 320 also includes a bracket 323, on which the pressure roller is rotatably mounted, and the bracket 323 is connected to the lifting structure 321 via an elastic element (not shown). The elastic element can be a spring, sheet metal, or other elastic component, allowing the bracket 323 to deflect relative to the lifting structure 321, thereby enabling the pressure roller to float.

[0068] In this embodiment, the dispensing mechanism 300 further includes a dispensing lifting assembly 330, which is installed on the moving end of the second motion assembly 130. The dispensing assembly 310 is installed on the moving end of the dispensing lifting assembly 330 and can be lifted and lowered along the extension direction of the dispensing head 312 under the drive of the dispensing lifting assembly 330.

[0069] The dispensing lifting assembly 330 can also employ a linear motor or a structure combining a motor and a screw thread pair, which can drive the entire dispensing assembly 310 to rise and fall. During the dispensing operation, the dispensing lifting assembly 330 can raise and lower the dispensing assembly 310, thereby raising and lowering the dispensing head 311 relative to the electrode to be dispensed, thus ensuring that the distance between the dispensing head 311 and the electrode to be dispensed is within an optimal range.

[0070] Of course, in other embodiments, the dispensing lifting assembly 330 can be omitted when a lifting assembly (not shown) is provided on the support mechanism 200. The lifting assembly can drive the electrode sheet it supports to rise and fall by driving the adsorption plate to rise and fall, thereby ensuring that the distance between the dispensing head 311 and the electrode sheet to be dispensed is within an optimal range.

[0071] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the dispensing mechanism 300 also includes a height measuring component 340. The height measuring component 340 can precisely measure the height of the electrode surface, specifically the adhesive coating area at the edge of the solid electrolyte. Based on the height information measured by the height measuring component 340, the height of the dispensing head 311 relative to the electrode can be precisely adjusted.

[0072] Specifically, the dispensing lifting assembly 330 includes a back plate 331 and a motion plate 332. The back plate 331 is installed on the moving end of the second motion assembly 130, and the flattening assembly 320 and the height measuring assembly 340 are both installed on the back plate 331. The motion plate 332 is capable of lifting, and the dispensing assembly 300 is installed on the lifting plate 332.

[0073] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the solid-state battery frame preparation device 10 further includes a dispensing head cleaning mechanism 600, and the dispensing mechanism 300 can pass through the dispensing head cleaning mechanism 600 under the drive of the second motion component 130.

[0074] After the dispensing mechanism 300 completes the dispensing operation, the second motion component 130 can drive the dispensing mechanism 300 to move within the working range of the dispensing head cleaning mechanism 600, so that the dispensing head 312 can be cleaned by the dispensing head cleaning mechanism 600 to remove residual glue, thereby ensuring the accuracy of subsequent dispensing by the dispensing mechanism 300.

[0075] Please refer to the following: Figure 5 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the dispensing head cleaning mechanism 600 includes a conveying component 610, a support component 620, and a clamping component 630. The conveying component 610 can drive the wiping material belt 20 to be conveyed along the conveying path, and the support component 620 is disposed on the conveying path of the wiping material belt 20, and the support component 620 can force the wiping material belt 20 to pass through a V-shaped path.

[0076] The wiping material belt 20 is generally made of non-woven fabric. The conveying assembly 610 provides driving force to the wiping material belt 20 so that it can be conveyed. Specifically, in this embodiment, the conveying assembly 610 includes an unwinding component 611 and a winding component 612. The support assembly 620 is disposed between the unwinding component 611 and the winding component 612. The wiping material belt 20 can be unwound by the unwinding component 611 and wound up by the winding component 612.

[0077] Both the unwinding component 611 and the winding component 612 can adopt a spool structure. The unwinding component 611 is used to load clean wiping material tape 20, while the winding component 612 is used to wind up the used wiping material tape 20. The winding component 612 is generally connected to a winding motor (not shown in the figure) and can wind up the wiping material tape 20 under the drive of the winding motor. The unwinding component 611 can be passively unwound under the traction of the winding component 612, or it can be connected to the unwinding motor (not shown in the figure) to achieve active unwinding.

[0078] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the conveying assembly 610 also includes drive wheels 613, with drive wheels 613 distributed between the unwinding member 611 and the support assembly 620, and between the support assembly 620 and the winding member 612. The wiping material belt 20 is wound around the drive wheels 613, which are generally connected to a drive motor (not shown) and can provide driving force for the wiping material belt 20. In this way, the force on the wiping material belt 20 is more uniform in its extension direction, thereby preventing the wiping material belt 20 from breaking or wrinkling.

[0079] The support component 620 guides and redirects the wiping tape 20, and the clamping component 630 has a wiping space (not shown), which can clamp or open. Guided by the support component 620, the wiping tape passes through the wiping space. Furthermore, during the clamping process, the clamping component 630 can compress the area of ​​the wiping tape 20 passing through the wiping space from the outside in.

[0080] When cleaning the dispensing head, the dispensing head is first inserted into the wiping space, and then the clamping component 630 clamps the wiping space, thereby squeezing the wiping tape 20 inward so that the wiping tape 20 can better cover the dispensing head, thus increasing the contact area between the wiping tape 20 and the dispensing head. Moreover, under the squeezing action of the clamping component 630, the friction between the wiping tape 20 and the dispensing head is also increased. As the conveying component 610 drives the wiping tape 20 to be conveyed, the wiping tape 20 can wipe and clean the dispensing head in contact with it. Moreover, since the contact area between the wiping tape 20 and the dispensing head and the friction between them are increased, the cleaning effect on the dispensing head is significantly improved compared to traditional wiping, blowing, or low-frequency solvent cleaning methods.

[0081] Specifically, in this embodiment, the support component 620 can force the wiping material strip 20 to pass along a V-shaped path, and the wiping material strip 20 is located in the wiping space by passing through the V-shaped area formed by the support component 620.

[0082] The support assembly 620 deflects the wiping material belt 20, causing it to bend into a V-shape. Further, in this embodiment, the support assembly 620 includes a first guide roller 621, a second guide roller 622, and a third guide roller 623. The center line connecting the first guide roller 621, the second guide roller 622, and the third guide roller 623 forms a triangle. The wiping material belt 20 passing through the support assembly 620 sequentially winds around the first guide roller 621, the second guide roller 622, and the third guide roller 623. The wiping material belt 20 deflects each of these rollers as it winds, thus bending into a V-shape. That is, the portion of the wiping material belt 20 that winds around the first guide roller 621, the second guide roller 622, and the third guide roller 623 is V-shaped.

[0083] When the dispensing head is inserted into the wiping space, it is inserted into the V-shaped area of ​​the wiping tape 20. The V-shaped wiping tape 20 has a larger contact area with the dispensing head, which can better cover the dispensing head, thereby further improving the cleaning effect on the dispensing head.

[0084] Specifically, in this embodiment, the inner wall of the wiping space is covered with a flexible padding layer 631. The flexible padding layer 631 can be a sponge layer or a foam layer, capable of elastic deformation. When the wiping space of the clamping assembly 630 presses the V-shaped area of ​​the wiping material strip 20 inward, the flexible padding layer 631 can deform according to the outer wall contour of the dispensing head 312, thereby better covering the dispensing head 312.

[0085] Specifically, in this embodiment, the clamping assembly 630 includes a gripper drive (not shown) and at least two grippers 632, which enclose a wiping space. The gripper drive can be a gripper cylinder, and the grippers 632 can open or close under the drive of the gripper cylinder. Utilizing the grippers 632 in conjunction with the gripper cylinder allows the clamping assembly 630 to have a simple structure and fast response. Furthermore, the inner wall of each gripper 632 is generally provided with a flexible padding layer 631.

[0086] More specifically, in this embodiment, the dispensing head cleaning mechanism 600 also includes a mounting plate 640, on which the conveying assembly 610, the support assembly 620, and the clamping assembly 630 are all mounted. This allows the dispensing head cleaning mechanism 600 to be moved as a whole, facilitating the switching of its position according to working conditions.

[0087] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the solid-state battery adhesive frame preparation device 10 also includes a waste adhesive collection mechanism 700, and the dispensing mechanism 300 can pass through the waste adhesive collection mechanism 700 under the drive of the second motion component 130.

[0088] Specifically, the waste adhesive collection mechanism 700 and the dispensing head cleaning mechanism 600 are spaced apart along a second direction. The waste adhesive collection mechanism 700 generally includes a waste container (not shown) with its opening facing outwards, into which the dispensing head 312 can be inserted. When it is necessary to change the type of adhesive used for dispensing, the second motion component 130 first moves the dispensing mechanism 300 into the range of the waste adhesive collection mechanism 700. Then, residual adhesive in the dispensing valve 311 and the dispensing head 312 is discharged and collected by the waste adhesive collection mechanism 700.

[0089] In the aforementioned solid-state battery frame preparation apparatus 10 and solid-state battery processing equipment, the carrying mechanism 200, driven by the first motion component 120, first moves to the loading / unloading station, placing the electrode sheet to be framed onto the carrying mechanism 200. Then, the first motion component 120 moves the carrying mechanism 200 to the dispensing mechanism 300, where, with the cooperation of the first motion component 120 and the second motion component 130, the dispensing mechanism 300 dispenses adhesive onto the electrode sheet. Next, the first motion component 120 moves the carrying mechanism 200 to the curing mechanism 400, where the curing mechanism 400 cures the adhesive residue on the electrode sheet surface to obtain the frame. Finally, the first motion component 120 moves the carrying mechanism 200 back to the loading / unloading station, where the completed electrode sheet can be removed. Therefore, the aforementioned solid-state battery frame preparation apparatus 10 can automatically achieve smooth connection between each process, effectively improving efficiency, and is thus suitable for large-scale continuous production.
