Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an electrode lamination apparatus, an electrode lamination method, and a secondary battery manufactured using the same. More specifically, the invention relates to an electrode lamination apparatus and method capable of effectively heating and pressurizing to bond a laminate in which an electrode and a separator are laminated using a combination of a first roller and a second roller having different diameters and a pressure belt made of an elastic material. Background Technology

[0002] The demand for secondary batteries is increasing significantly due to the recent rapid growth of the electric vehicle and energy storage system (ESS) markets. Consequently, mass production and quality improvement of secondary batteries have emerged as critical challenges, and in particular, the quality of the lamination process—the stacking of electrodes and separators—directly affects battery performance and safety.

[0003] The lamination process of electrodes and separators is one of the core processes in secondary battery manufacturing, playing a crucial role in forming the basic structure of the battery by accurately bonding the electrodes and separators. The precision and stability of this process are particularly critical for electric vehicle batteries, which require high capacity and high power characteristics.

[0004] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the configurations of a general lamination process apparatus (10).

[0005] Referring to FIG. 1, a conventional lamination device (10) includes a heating unit (8) and lamination rollers (6, 7) provided to heat and pressurize a laminate (5) in which an anode (1), a first separator (2), a cathode (3), and a second separator (4) are sequentially stacked and moved along a transport direction (F). After the laminate (5) is heated while passing through the heating unit (8), it is pressed and bonded in a line contact manner by the upper and lower lamination rollers (6, 7).

[0006] However, these conventional lamination processes have the following problems.

[0007] First, there is a high risk of physical damage to the electrode and separator surfaces due to the line-contact compression method. In particular, if compressed at high pressure, the electrode active material may detach or the separator may tear.

[0008] Second, the line contact method makes it difficult to ensure sufficient adhesion quality between the electrode and the separator due to the very short contact area and time. Furthermore, increasing the process speed to improve productivity may further degrade the adhesion quality.

[0009] These problems are causing a decline in battery quality and productivity, posing a serious obstacle, particularly in the production of electric vehicle batteries where high quality is required.

[0010] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new lamination technology that can secure uniform adhesion while minimizing surface damage to the electrode and separator. The problem to be solved

[0039] Hereinafter, an electrode lamination device (100) and an electrode lamination method (200) according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0040] Additionally, identical or corresponding components are assigned the same or similar reference numbers regardless of drawing symbols, and redundant descriptions thereof are omitted; furthermore, for the convenience of explanation, the size and shape of each illustrated component may be exaggerated or reduced.

[0041] FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram showing the configurations of an electrode lamination device (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram showing the configurations of an electrode lamination device (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0042] Referring to FIGS. 2 and FIGS. 3, an electrode lamination device (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a first pressurizing part (110a) and a first belt (121).

[0043] First, when defining the directions in the electrode lamination device (100) of the present invention, the transport direction of the laminate (5) can be defined as the X-axis direction, the width direction of the laminate (5) as the Y-axis direction, and the stacking direction in which the components of the laminate (5) are stacked as the Z-axis direction. Here, the laminate (5) can be formed by sequentially stacking an anode (1), a first separator (2), a cathode (3), and a second separator (4).

[0044] A first pressurizing unit (110a) is provided to heat and pressurize a laminate (5) having electrodes and a separator layer stacked thereon so that the electrodes and the separator layer of the laminate (5) are joined (thermally fused) to each other. To this end, the first pressurizing unit (110a) includes one or more first-1 rollers (111a) provided to pressurize the laminate (5) having electrodes and a separator layer stacked thereon, and a first-2 roller (112a) having a different diameter from the first-1 roller (111a).

[0045] Specifically, a first compression shaft (114) is connected to each of the first-1 roller (111a) and the first-2 roller (112a) to transmit a pressing force. Here, the first-1 roller (111a) may have a diameter that is relatively 2 to 4 times larger than that of the first-2 roller (112a). That is, the first-1 roller (111a) has a larger diameter than the first-2 roller (112a). Each of the first-1 roller (111a) and the first-2 roller (112a) may be configured to maintain a temperature at which the anode (1) of the laminate (5) and the first separator (2), or the first separator (2) and the cathode (3), or the cathode (3) and the second separator (4) can be heat-fused. To this end, each of the first-1 roller (111a) and the first-2 roller (112a) may have a heater (not shown) and a temperature sensor (not shown) built in.

[0046] The present invention may further include a first drive unit (160a) to which a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or a servo motor is applied for the movement of the first compression shaft (114) in the vertical direction (Z-axis direction). By the force generated from this first drive unit (160a), the first compression shaft (114) can transmit a pressure in the range of 0.5 MPa to 2 MPa to the laminate (5).

[0047] The first belt (121) is provided to surround the first-1 roller (111a) and the first-2 roller (112a) of the first pressure unit (110a) and is arranged to come into contact with the laminate (5). The first belt (121) stably conveys the laminate (5) while ensuring that uniform pressure is transmitted to the laminate (5) during the lamination process.

[0048] The first pressure unit (110a) comprises a pair of first-1 rollers (111a), and a first-2 roller (112a) is positioned between the pair of first-1 rollers (111a), and the first belt (121) is arranged to surround the pair of first-1 rollers (111a) and the first-2 roller (112a) together. This arrangement structure enables uniform pressure to be transmitted to the laminate (5) through the first belt (121). Additionally, the first pressure unit (110a) is provided above the laminate (5). The first-2 roller (112a) is positioned between adjacent first-1 rollers (111a) to apply additional pressure and heat to the laminate (5).

[0049] The present invention may further include a second pressure member (110b) positioned to face the first pressure member (110a). The second pressure member (110b) is provided at the bottom relative to the laminate (5). Specifically, the second pressure member (110b) may include a pair of second-1 rollers (111b) and second-2 rollers (112b). For example, the second-2 roller (112b) may be positioned between the pair of second-1 rollers (111b), and the second belt (122) may be arranged to surround the pair of second-1 rollers (111b) and the second-2 roller (112b) together. The second-2 roller (112b) may be positioned between adjacent second-1 rollers (111b) to apply additional pressure and heat to the laminate (5).

[0050] The first-1 roller (111a) and the first-2 roller (112a) are each provided to be rotatable when the laminate (5) is driven. Likewise, the second-1 roller (111b) and the second-2 roller (112b) may also each be provided to be rotatable when the laminate (5) is driven.

[0051] The first-2 roller (112a) is provided between the pair of first-1 rollers (111a). That is, the first-2 roller (112a) can improve the lamination quality by providing additional pressure in the space between the first-1 rollers (111a). The second-2 roller (112b) is provided between the pair of second-1 rollers (111b). That is, the second-2 roller (112b) can improve the lamination quality by providing additional pressure in the space between the second-1 rollers (111b).

[0052] Accordingly, the present invention can effectively apply heat and pressure to the laminate (5) over a short transport section through a pair of upper rollers (111) and lower rollers (112) by means of this configuration, thereby improving the adhesion between the electrode and the separator.

[0053] The pair of first-1 rollers (111a) and the pair of second-1 rollers (111b) are arranged to face each other. Additionally, the first-2 roller (112a) of the first pressing part (110a) is arranged to face the second-2 roller (112b) of the second pressing part (110b). The first pressing part (110a) is arranged to press the pair of first-1 rollers (111a) toward the laminate (5), and the second pressing part (110b) is arranged to press the pair of second-1 rollers (111b) toward the laminate (5).

[0054] More specifically, the first pressure shaft (114) of the first pressure member (110a) includes a first-1 connecting part (114a) to which the pair of first-1 rollers (111a) are connected, and a first-2 connecting part (114b) to which the first-2 rollers (112a) are connected. The second pressure shaft (115) of the second pressure member (110b) includes a second-1 connecting part (115a) to which the pair of second-1 rollers (111b) are connected, and a second-2 connecting part (115b) to which the second-2 rollers (112b) are connected. For example, a bearing (not shown) supporting the rotation of the rollers may be provided at the end of each connecting part.

[0055] The first-1 connecting part (114a) and the first-2 connecting part (114b) of the first compression shaft (114) are connected to intersect, and the first driving part (160a) is connected to the first-2 connecting part (114b) of the first compression shaft (114). Likewise, the second-1 connecting part (115a) and the second-2 connecting part (115b) of the second compression shaft (115) of the second compression part (110b) are connected to intersect, and the second driving part (160b) is connected to the second-2 connecting part (115b) of the second compression shaft.

[0056] For example, each of the first compression shaft (114) and the second compression shaft (115) may include a ball screw structure linked to the servo motor of each of the first drive unit (160a) and the second drive unit (160b).

[0057] Accordingly, the present invention enables a stable lamination process by allowing the first compression shaft (114) to effectively transmit pressure to the first-1 roller (111a) and the first-2 roller (112a) and the second compression shaft (115) to effectively transmit pressure to the second-1 roller (111b) and the second-2 roller (112b) through this configuration.

[0058] Additionally, the electrode lamination device (100) further includes a first driving unit (160a) for moving the first pressure shaft (114) in a direction toward the laminate (5), and a second driving unit (160b) for moving the second pressure shaft (115) of the second pressure unit (110b) in a direction toward the laminate (5). The vertical position (Z-axis direction) of each of the first driving unit (160a) and the second driving unit (160b) can be adjusted by a control unit (150) for the first pressure shaft (114) and the second pressure shaft (115), respectively.

[0059] The first belt (121) and the second belt (122) are respectively provided to surround the pair of first-1 rollers (111a) and first-2 rollers (112a) and the pair of second-1 rollers (111b) and second-2 rollers (112b). Specifically, the first belt (121) and the second belt (122) are formed of an elastic material so as to be able to transmit uniform pressure to the laminate (5). In addition, the present invention enables efficient pressure transmission by allowing the laminate (5) to be pressed over a wider contact area through the first belt (121) which contains an elastic material that deforms according to external pressure. For example, the elastic material may be synthetic rubber, and more specifically, may be a silicone rubber material.

[0060] The first belt (121) and the second belt (122) may be configured such that the positions of the first-1 roller (111a), the first-2 roller (112a), the second-1 roller (111b), and the second-2 roller (112b) are adjustable to maintain uniform tension in the width direction.

[0061] The electrode lamination device (100) further includes a control unit (150) configured to control the pressure applied to the laminate (5) by each of the first compression shaft (114) and the second compression shaft (115). The control unit (150) can maintain optimal lamination conditions by monitoring the pressure in real time.

[0062] Meanwhile, the control unit (150) may be configured to include a processing unit such as a microchip. Specifically, the control unit (150) may be implemented as a microcontroller unit (MCU) including a central processing unit (CPU), random access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), etc. Such an MCU can efficiently process complex control algorithms by employing a high-performance 32-bit or 64-bit architecture.

[0063] The electrode lamination device (100) further includes a heating unit (140) located upstream of the first pressurizing unit (110a) and configured to heat a laminate (5) in which the electrode and the separator are laminated. The heating unit (140) can improve lamination efficiency by preheating the laminate (5).

[0064] For example, the heating unit (140) may use a near-infrared lamp as a light source. For example, in the preheating step, the surface temperature of the laminate (5) may be preheated to 60 to 80 degrees Celsius. This is to minimize thermal shock in the lamination process and to form a uniform heat distribution.

[0065] Accordingly, the present invention can precisely control the pressure and temperature applied to the laminate (5) through this configuration, thereby improving the adhesion quality between the electrode and the separator.

[0066] FIG. 4 is a flowchart of an electrode lamination method (200) according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0067] Referring to FIG. 4, an electrode lamination method (200) according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a lamination step (M01), a pressurizing step (M02), and a transfer step (M03).

[0068] The lamination step (M01) is a step of pressing a laminate (5) in which electrodes and separators are laminated by one or more first-1 rollers (111a) and first-2 rollers (112a) having a diameter different from that of the first-1 rollers (111a). In the lamination step (M01), the transfer speed of the laminate (5) can be maintained to ensure sufficient time for the electrodes and separators to be bonded.

[0069] The pressurization step (M02) is a step in which the first pressurization shaft (114) transmits pressurization force and heat to each of the first-1 roller (111a) and the first-2 roller (112a). At this time, in the pressurization step (M02), the first pressurization part (110a) and the second pressurization part (110b) can press toward the laminate (5) with synchronized movement.

[0070] Specifically, the pressurizing step (M02) pressurizes the laminate (5) using a first pressurizing part (110a) provided on the upper side and a second pressurizing part (110b) provided on the lower side based on the laminate (5). At this time, the first pressurizing part (110a) transmits a downward pressurizing force to a pair of first-1 rollers (111a) and first-2 rollers (112a), and the second pressurizing part (110b) transmits an upward pressurizing force to a pair of second-1 rollers (111b) and second-2 rollers (112b).

[0071] The first-1 roller (111a) of the first pressing part (110a) and the second-1 roller (111b) of the second pressing part (110b) are arranged to face each other. In the pressing step (M02), the first pressing part (110a) presses the pair of first-1 rollers (111a) and the first-2 roller (112a) toward the laminate (5), and the second pressing part (110b) presses the pair of second-1 rollers (111b) and the second-2 roller (112b) toward the laminate (5).

[0072] The transfer step (M03) is a step of transferring the laminate (5) by means of a first belt (121) provided to surround the first-1 roller (111a) and the first-2 roller (112a). Specifically, the transfer step (M03) transfers the laminate (5) using a first belt (121) surrounding the pair of first-1 rollers (111a) and first-2 rollers (112a) of the first pressurizing unit (110a), and a second belt (122) surrounding the pair of second-1 rollers (111b) and second-2 rollers (112b) of the second pressurizing unit (110b).

[0073] The first belt (121) and the second belt (122) are formed of an elastic material, allowing for stable transport while transmitting uniform pressure to the laminate (5).

[0074] The electrode lamination method (200) of the present invention may further include a control step in which the control unit (150) controls the pressure applied to the laminate (5) by each of the first pressurizing unit (110a) and the second pressurizing unit (110b).

[0075] Additionally, the electrode lamination method (200) of the present invention may further include a preheating step of heating the laminate (5) in which the electrode and the separator are laminated, prior to the lamination step (M01).

[0076] The above-mentioned pressurizing step (M02) is characterized in that the first driving unit (160a) moves the first pressurizing shaft (114), which is connected to the first-1 roller (111a) and the first-2 roller (112a) of the first pressurizing unit (110a), in a direction closer to the laminate (5), and the second driving unit (160b) moves the second pressurizing shaft (115), which is connected to the second-1 roller (111b) and the second-2 roller (112b) of the second pressurizing unit (110b), in a direction closer to the laminate (5).

[0077] Therefore, the present invention can apply uniform pressure to the laminate through a belt surrounding the roller by means of this configuration, thereby improving the adhesion quality between the electrode and the separator.

[0078] The control unit (150) may further include a control step for adjusting the pressure by detecting a change in the thickness of the laminate (5) in real time. To this end, the present invention may include a thickness measuring sensor (not shown) for measuring the thickness of the laminate (5).
