[0027] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail so that those skilled in the art can easily implement the present invention. However, the present invention may be embodied in various different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Furthermore, in the drawings, parts that are not relevant to the description are omitted in order to clearly explain the present invention, and similar parts are designated by similar reference numerals throughout the specification.
[0028] [Secondary battery] The secondary battery includes an electrode assembly and a pouch that houses the electrode assembly. The electrode assembly has a structure in which a number of electrodes and a number of separators are alternately arranged. The pouch also includes a housing that houses the electrode assembly and a sealing part that seals the housing.
[0029] Meanwhile, the plurality of electrodes may be positive electrodes and negative electrodes, that is, the electrode assembly has a structure in which positive electrodes and negative electrodes are alternately arranged with separators interposed therebetween.
[0030] 1, the ends of the electrodes are provided with electrode tabs. That is, the ends of the multiple electrodes are provided with multiple electrode tabs (hereinafter referred to as electrode tabs) 1. Furthermore, electrode leads 2 are coupled to the electrode tabs 1.
[0031] Here, in order to connect the electrode tabs and the electrode lead 2, it is necessary to gather the electrode tabs 1 into a group, and in this case, the jig assembly 10 for electrode tabs according to the first embodiment of the present invention is used.
[0032] [Electrode tab jig assembly according to the first embodiment of the present invention] FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view illustrating a jig assembly for an electrode tab according to a first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an assembled perspective view illustrating the jig assembly for an electrode tab according to the first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is a front view of FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 is a side view of FIG. 2.
[0033] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, an electrode tab jig assembly 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention is used to collect electrode tabs 1 provided at the ends of a number of electrodes.
[0034] That is, the jig assembly 10 for an electrode tab according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a first pressure member 100, a second pressure member 200, and an adjustment jig 300.
[0035] First pressure member and second pressure member The first and second pressure members 100 and 200 are for applying pressure to the electrode tabs 1 to gather the electrode tabs 1. That is, referring to FIG. 1, the first and second pressure members 100 and 200 are provided symmetrically at the top and bottom ends of the electrode tabs 1, respectively, and have a structure for applying pressure to gather the electrode tabs 1 into a group.
[0036] For example, the first pressure member 100 is disposed at the bottom end of the electrode tab 1, and the second pressure member 200 is disposed at the top end of the electrode tab 1 and is movable toward the first pressure member 100 by a hydraulic device (not shown). As a result, the electrode tab 1 is gathered by the first and second pressure members 100 and 200.
[0037] Meanwhile, the pressure surface 110 of the first pressure member 100 and the pressure surface 210 of the second pressure member 200 that press the electrode tab 1 may be provided on a horizontal surface to enhance adhesion.
[0038] Adjustment jig The adjusting jig 300 separates the first and second pressure members 100 and 200 so that the distance therebetween is maintained at or above a set distance, and adjusts the pressure applied to the electrode tab 1. In other words, the adjusting jig can separate the first and second pressure members 100 and 200 so that the distance therebetween does not decrease below a set distance.
[0039] For example, the adjusting jig 300 includes an adjusting part 310. The adjusting part 310 is provided between the first pressing member 100 and the second pressing member 200 and supports the first pressing member 100 and the second pressing member 200.
[0040] That is, the adjusting unit 310 is disposed between the pressing surface 110 of the first pressing member 100 and the pressing surface 210 of the second pressing member 200, and can adjust the distance between the first pressing member 100 and the second pressing member 200 to maintain the distance therebetween at a set distance or more. In other words, the adjusting unit 310 can separate the first pressing member 100 and the second pressing member 200 to maintain the distance therebetween at a set distance or more, thereby adjusting the distance at which the electrode tabs 1 pressed by the first pressing member 100 and the second pressing member 200 are not pressed below the set distance, thereby preventing damage and deformation of the electrode tabs 1.
[0041] Meanwhile, the first and second pressure members 100 and 200 may be provided to extend elongatedly in the overall width direction of the electrode tab 1 (left and right direction when viewed in FIG. 3). In addition, the adjustment portion 310 may be provided between the end of the first pressure member 100 and the end of the second pressure member 200, which extend outside the electrode tab 1. This prevents interference between the adjustment portion 310 and the electrode tab 1, thereby preventing damage to the electrode tab by the adjustment portion 310. In particular, the adjustment portion 310 may be provided between both ends of the first and second pressure members 100 and 200, respectively, thereby stably supporting the first and second pressure members 100 and 200.
[0042] Meanwhile, the adjustment part 310 may have a square block shape so that the pressure surfaces 210 of the first pressure member 100 and the second pressure member 200 are in close contact with each other. In particular, the adjustment part 310 may be made of the same material as the first pressure member 100 and the second pressure member 200. This prevents the adjustment part 310 or the first pressure member 100 and the second pressure member 200 from being easily worn.
[0043] Meanwhile, an adhesive layer may be further included between the adjustment part and the first pressure member, thereby increasing the adhesive strength between the adjustment part and the first pressure member. Meanwhile, referring to the enlarged view of FIG. 4, the pressure surface 110 of the first pressure member 100 may be formed with a V-shaped coupling groove 111 in the length direction, and the adjustment part 310 may be formed with a V-shaped coupling protrusion 313 that is movably coupled along the coupling groove 111. This may improve the fixing strength of the adjustment part and prevent shaking.
[0044] Meanwhile, the set interval may be the thickness of the adjusting portion 310. The thickness of the adjusting portion 310 may be the same as or smaller than the thickness of the group of electrode tabs 1. Preferably, the thickness of the adjusting portion is smaller than the thickness of the group of electrode tabs. This allows the first and second pressing members 100 and 200 to effectively pressurize the electrode tabs 1, and the electrode tabs 1 to be gathered into a group.
[0045] Meanwhile, the adjusting jig 300 may further include a fixing part 320. The fixing part 320 is provided on both ends of one surface of the adjusting part 310 (both ends of the lower surface of the adjusting part 310 as viewed in FIG. 1) positioned in the overall length direction of the electrode tab 1 (i.e., in the length direction of the electrode tab), and is supported on both surfaces of the first pressing member 100. This allows the adjusting part 310 to be positioned immovably on the pressing surface 110 of the first pressing member 100.
[0046] Meanwhile, the fixing part 320 and the adjusting part 310 may be integrally formed. That is, the integral fixing part 320 and the adjusting part 310 may have a "ridge" shape, which can improve ease of fabrication.
[0047] Meanwhile, the adjusting jig 300 may further include a support part 330. The support part 330 is provided at one end of the other surface of the adjusting part 310 positioned in the overall length direction of the electrode tab 1 (at the rear end of the upper surface of the adjusting part 310 as viewed in FIG. 1), and is supported by the second pressing member 200. That is, the support part 330 guides the second pressing member 200 to be supported on the upper surface of the adjusting part 310.
[0048] Meanwhile, the support part 330 and the adjustment part 310 may be integrally formed, which can improve ease of manufacture.
[0049] Therefore, the jig assembly 10 for electrode tabs according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes the adjusting jig 300, which allows adjustment of the pressure applied to the electrode tabs 1, thereby preventing damage and deformation of the electrode tabs 1. In particular, the distance between the first and second pressing members 200 can be easily adjusted, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0050] Meanwhile, the jig assembly 10 for an electrode tab according to the first embodiment of the present invention may further include an inspection member 400.
[0051] Inspection parts 2, the inspection member 400 is for measuring the gap between the first pressure member 100 and the second pressure member 200. That is, the inspection member 400 measures the gap between the first pressure member 100 and the second pressure member 200 spaced apart by the adjustment unit 310, and determines that the gap is normal if it is within an input set gap range, and determines that the gap is defective if it is outside the set gap range.
[0052] Meanwhile, the inspection member 400 includes an infrared camera 410 that measures the distance between the first pressure member 100 and the second pressure member 200, and an inspection unit 420 that measures the distance between the first pressure member 100 and the second pressure member 200 from an image captured by the infrared camera 410 and inspects whether the measured distance is within a set distance range that has been input.
[0053] Therefore, the jig assembly 10 for an electrode tab according to the first embodiment of the present invention further includes an inspection member 400, thereby making it possible to easily check whether the gap between the first pressure member 100 and the second pressure member 200 has decreased below a set gap.
[0054] In the following description of other embodiments of the present invention, the same components as those in the above-described embodiment will be designated by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted.
[0055] [Electrode tab welding device according to the second embodiment of the present invention] FIG. 5 is a side view illustrating a welding device for electrode tabs according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
[0056] The electrode tab welding device according to the second embodiment of the present invention has a structure including the above-mentioned electrode tab jig assembly.
[0057] As an example, as shown in FIG. 5, an electrode tab welding device according to a second embodiment of the present invention includes an electrode tab jig assembly that presses and gathers electrode tabs 1 provided at the ends of a number of electrodes, an anvil 20 that supports the lower surface of a welding portion where the electrode tabs 1 and electrode leads 2 overlap, and a horn 30 that is placed on the upper surface of the welding portion and welds the electrode tabs 1 and the electrode leads 2 using ultrasonic waves while pressing the electrode tabs 1 together with the anvil 20.
[0058] Meanwhile, the electrode tab jig assembly has the same configuration as the electrode tab jig assembly described in the first embodiment, and therefore, a duplicated description will be omitted.
[0059] Therefore, the electrode tab welding device according to the second embodiment of the present invention can stably weld the electrode tab and the electrode lead 2 together without damaging or deforming the electrode tab 1.
[0060] [Electrode tab jig assembly according to the third embodiment of the present invention] FIG. 6 is a perspective view illustrating a jig assembly for an electrode tab according to a third embodiment of the present invention.
[0061] The jig assembly for an electrode tab according to the third embodiment of the present invention includes an adjusting jig 300, which includes an adjusting portion 310 and fixing portions 320 provided at both ends of the lower surface of the adjusting portion 310, respectively.
[0062] Here, one of the fixing parts 320 is integrally provided at one end of the adjustment part 310, and the other fixing part 320 is connected to the other end of the adjustment part 310, and at this time, is connected to be slidable in a direction toward the first pressure member 100.
[0063] For example, a guide groove 311 extending toward the first pressure member 100 is formed at one end of the adjustment part 310, and a guide protrusion 321 slidably coupled to the guide groove 311 is formed at the other fixing part 320. This allows the distance between the fixing parts 320 provided at both ends of the adjustment part 310 to be adjusted. Meanwhile, the fixing part, whose position is fixed, can be fixed to the adjustment part by a fixing means such as a bolt.
[0064] Therefore, the jig assembly for electrode tabs according to the third embodiment of the present invention can be used interchangeably with first pressure members 100 having various thicknesses. In particular, the adjusting jig can be pressed against the first pressure member 100 by adjusting the gap between the fixing portions 320, and as a result, the adjusting jig 300 can be prevented from coming off the first pressure member 100.
[0065] [Electrode tab jig assembly according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention] FIG. 7 is a perspective view illustrating a jig assembly for an electrode tab according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention.
[0066] As shown in FIG. 7, the jig assembly for an electrode tab according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention includes the adjustment part 310 on which the first and second pressure members 100 and 200 are supported.
[0067] Here, a protective film having elasticity is included on the surface of the adjusting part 310 on which the first pressure member 100 and the second pressure member 200 are supported. Meanwhile, the protective film may be made of a synthetic resin material.
[0068] Therefore, the electrode tab welding device according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention can prevent the occurrence of impact force and noise between the first pressure member 100 and the adjustment part 310 or between the second pressure member 200 and the adjustment part 310, and in particular, can significantly prevent the occurrence of wear.
[0069] On the other hand, the thickness of the protective film is 1 to 10 μm, and it can be replaced at set intervals.
[0070] [Electrode tab jig assembly according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention] FIG. 8 is a perspective view illustrating a jig assembly for an electrode tab according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention.
[0071] 8, in the jig assembly for an electrode tab according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention, the first pressure member 100 and the second pressure member 200 are made of a metal material, and one surface of the adjustment part 310 (the lower surface of the adjustment part 310 as viewed in FIG. 8) has magnetic force so as to be attached to the first pressure member 100. That is, one surface of the adjustment part 310 may be provided as a magnetic surface 312.
[0072] Therefore, the electrode tab welding device according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention can stably attach and fix the adjustment part 310 to the first pressure member 100 without using any additional member.
[0073] The scope of the present invention is defined by the claims set forth below rather than by the detailed description above, and various embodiments are possible within the meaning and scope of the claims and their equivalents. [Explanation of symbols]
