Description

Technology Field

[0001] This application claims the benefit of the filing date of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2021-0030319 filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on March 8, 2021, and all contents disclosed in the document of said Korean patent application are incorporated into this specification.

[0002] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a corrosion-preventing layer and a cylindrical secondary battery, and more specifically, to a method for manufacturing a corrosion-preventing layer capable of preventing corrosion of a battery can and a cylindrical secondary battery. Background Technology

[0003] Conventional cylindrical secondary batteries have a structure in which a tab connecting the jelly-roll electrode assembly and the external terminal is welded to the foil of the jelly-roll electrode assembly. Cylindrical secondary batteries with this structure had the problem of a limited current path and high resistance of the jelly-roll electrode assembly itself.

[0004] To improve this, attempts have been made to lower resistance by increasing the number of taps, but there are limitations in securing a sufficient current path or lowering resistance to the desired level. To overcome these limitations, there are attempts to lower resistance in the welding process applied to battery cans.

[0005] However, the exterior of a cylindrical secondary battery can is typically composed of a metal plating layer, and since the electrode welding process is laser welding, bottom welding can be performed on the exterior of the battery can made of a metal plating layer, which can cause damage to the metal plating layer constituting the exterior of the battery can.

[0006] If the metal plating layer is damaged in this way, the surface is exposed to the air, and the battery can may corrode.

[0007] To resolve the above problem, a method of applying an anti-corrosion solution to the metal plating layer and then washing it was applied. However, even with the above method, the anti-corrosion solution components can be easily removed, so the battery can can easily corrode.

[0008] Therefore, other materials or methods are required to comprehensively resolve the above problems and efficiently prevent corrosion of battery cans. The problem to be solved

[0054] (A) A step of applying a corrosion-preventing resin to a damaged area of ​​the metal plating layer at a welded portion formed by the melting of the connection lead plate and the battery can when welding the outer bottom surface of the battery can; and

[0055] (B) A step of curing the above-mentioned resin for the corrosion-preventing layer by ultraviolet light to form a corrosion-preventing layer

[0056] Includes,

[0057] The resin for the corrosion-preventive layer described above comprises one or more liquid substances, and

[0058] The above one or more liquid substances are UV-curable and have a viscosity of 1 cP or more and 5000 cP or less.

[0062] In relation to the above embodiment, with reference to FIG. 1 and / or FIG. 2, it is shown that a resin (4) for a corrosion-resistant layer is cured by ultraviolet rays (7) to form a corrosion-resistant layer (6).

[0063] In relation to the above embodiment, with reference to FIG. 2(B), the resin (4) for the corrosion-preventing layer described above is sprayed and applied onto a battery can (1), and with reference to FIG. 2(C), ultraviolet rays (7) are irradiated to form a cured form of the resin (4) for the corrosion-preventing layer, i.e., a corrosion-preventing layer (6). The spraying method is based on a conventional method.

[0064] The resin for the corrosion-preventing layer used in the above embodiment prevents corrosion by blocking corrosion factors, such as contact with air or moisture, to damaged areas of the battery can.

Furthermore, the corrosion-preventing layer formed by the above manufacturing method prevents corrosion of the battery can by blocking corrosion factors such as contact with air or moisture to the metal plating layer. In addition, the corrosion-preventing layer formed from the resin for the corrosion-preventing layer according to the above embodiment is not deformed by a subsequent activation process (typically, left for approximately 24 hours under high temperature and high humidity conditions (a temperature of about 65°C or higher and a humidity of about 90% or higher)).

[0067] In particular, it can resolve the problem of corrosion occurring when the coating layer formed by conventional inkjet printing methods peels off.

[0071] If necessary, a breaking valve may be provided in the battery can to discharge internal gas to the outside when pressure rises due to gas present inside the cylindrical secondary battery. In this case, a step of forming a corrosion-preventing layer by bypassing the breaking valve may be further included.

[0073] In relation to the above embodiment, with reference to FIG. 2(B), a corrosion-preventing resin (4) comprising one or more selected from the above-described epoxy-based, acrylate-based, silicone-based, and urethane-acrylic-based resins is sprayed and applied onto a battery can (1), and with reference to FIG. 2(C), ultraviolet rays (7) are irradiated to form a cured form of the corrosion-preventing resin (4), i.e., a corrosion-preventing layer (6).

[0074] The method for manufacturing a corrosion-preventing layer according to the above embodiment includes one or more selected from epoxy-based, acrylate-based, silicone-based, and urethane-acrylic-based resins having UV curability and low viscosity characteristics among the resins for the corrosion-preventing layer described above. Therefore, the process for forming the corrosion-preventing layer is simple, the thickness of the corrosion-preventing layer can be formed uniformly, bubbles formed in the corrosion-preventing layer can be prevented, and excellent physical properties in terms of heat resistance and thermal conductivity can be provided.

[0075] According to a further embodiment of the present invention, a method for manufacturing a corrosion-preventing layer is provided, wherein the curing time of step (B) is 5 seconds or more and 30 seconds or less.

[0076] Preferably, the curing time may be 5 seconds or more, 10 seconds or more, or 15 seconds or more.

[0077] Preferably, the curing time may be 30 seconds or less, 25 seconds or less, or 20 seconds or less.

[0089] The corrosion-preventing layer according to the above embodiment prevents corrosion of the battery can by blocking corrosion factors, such as contact of air or moisture with the metal plating layer. Since the resin for the corrosion-preventing layer uses one or more liquid materials that are UV-curable and have low viscosity, the corrosion-preventing layer formed using this material has a uniform thickness, is almost free of bubbles, and can possess excellent physical properties in terms of heat resistance and heat transfer. In addition, the corrosion-preventing layer is not deformed by the activation process (typically, left for approximately 24 hours under high temperature and high humidity conditions (a temperature of about 65°C or higher, and a humidity of about 90% or higher)).
