Description

Sealing devices and sealing systems

[0001] The present invention relates to a sealing device and a sealing system for sealing a sealing object.

[0002] The technology underlying the present invention relates to sealing of a battery cell module.

[0003] One of the methods for manufacturing a battery cell module is to stack multiple negative electrode plates / positive electrode plates / separators, and connect the protruding connecting portions of each negative electrode plate and positive electrode plate on one side to each negative electrode tab and positive electrode tab.

[0004] These laminated cells are wrapped with a separator on the outermost surface, but there is a risk that the separator may fold or slide during the manufacturing process, causing a short circuit in the negative tab, or that the negative / positive plates may be exposed outside the separator, causing the electrodes to touch each other and cause a fire.

[0005] To prevent such problems, a technology for sealing by bonding membranes has been proposed. Examples of prior art include Prior Art 1 (Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2018-0081926, July 18, 2018) and Prior Art 2 (Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2014-0035646, March 24, 2014).

[0006] In the above prior art document 1, as shown in FIG. 1, a method is disclosed in which a positive electrode, a separator, and a negative electrode are cut to a predetermined size and then sequentially stacked, a plurality of separators are each formed to seal a portion of a portion of the outer periphery by bonding the separators to each other, and then finished with tape so that the negative electrode plate and the positive electrode plate do not touch each other. However, the technique of the above prior art document 1 has a risk of problems such as folding of the separator or exposure of the positive electrode plate when the tape is decomposed by the electrolyte inside the cell during transport.

[0007] In the above prior art document 2, as shown in FIG. 2, a method is disclosed in which a first electrode plate and a second electrode plate are alternately inserted and laminated by continuously using a separator in a zigzag folded form, and both ends of the separator wrap the laminated electrode laminate at least once and then finish the separator on both sides, but the technology of the above prior art document 2 has a problem in that since a single positive electrode plate and a negative electrode plate are laminated one layer at a time, the time required to complete one cell stack becomes very long, and thus productivity is significantly reduced.

[0008] That is, conventional technologies did not guarantee the reliability of sealing, making it difficult to completely eliminate the possibility of contact between the plates. In addition, the sealing process itself was complex and time-consuming.

[0009] The present invention aims to improve the limitations of the prior art as described above.

[0010] Accordingly, the present specification seeks to provide an embodiment capable of stably sealing a battery cell module.

[0011] In addition, it is intended to provide an embodiment capable of sealing a battery cell module appropriately and efficiently.

[0012] In addition, we would like to provide an example that can simplify the configuration of the sealing process.

[0013] The present invention, which aims to improve the limitations of the prior art as described above, uses side sealing of the battery cell module as a solution.

[0080] Hereinafter, embodiments disclosed in this specification will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. However, when describing embodiments disclosed in this specification, if it is determined that a detailed description of related known technology may obscure the gist of the embodiments disclosed in this specification, the detailed description will be omitted.

[0081] In addition, the attached drawings are only intended to facilitate easy understanding of the embodiments disclosed in this specification, and the technical ideas disclosed in this specification are not limited by the attached drawings, and should be understood to include all modifications, equivalents, or substitutes included in the spirit and technical scope of the present invention.

[0082] First, a sealing device and a sealing object of a sealing system according to an embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 3a and 3b.

[0083] The above sealing object (BC) may mean an electrode assembly or a battery cell module in which a plurality of plates are laminated, as shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b.

[0084] Fig. 3a is a front view looking at the side of the sealing object (BC), and Fig. 3b is a perspective view of the sealing object (BC) standing up with the side facing upward. The sealing object (BC) can be formed into a pouch shape as shown in Fig. 3b by stacking a plurality of plates as shown in Fig. 3a.

[0085] Accordingly, the sealing object (BC) can have multiple side surfaces formed.

[0086] The above plurality of plates may include a separator (SP), an anode (PP), and a cathode (NP).

[0087] The above sealing object (BC) may be laminated with one or more of each of the positive electrode (PP) and the negative electrode (NP).

[0088] The separator (SP) may be laminated on both sides of each of the positive electrode (PP) and the negative electrode (NP).

[0089] Accordingly, the positive electrode (PP) and the negative electrode (NP) can be separated by the separator (SP).

[0090] The above sealing target (BC) may have the separation membrane (SP) placed on the outermost surface.

[0091] For example, the separation membrane (SP) may be placed on each of the uppermost and lowermost layers of the sealing object (BC).

[0092] The above plurality of plates can be manufactured and laminated so that the size error is preferably within a certain error range.

[0093] Accordingly, the sealing target (BC) may be formed by sequentially stacking the separator (SP), the positive electrode (PP), and the negative electrode (NP), which are manufactured so that the size error is within the predetermined error range.

[0094] Meanwhile, the sealing target (BC) may have a long axis and a short axis formed on the side.

[0095] Here, the major axis and the minor axis may mean an axis based on the side of the sealing target (BC).

[0096] For example, as illustrated in FIG. 3b, the major axis may mean the horizontal (X) of the side of the sealing object (BC), and the minor axis may mean the vertical (Y) of the side of the sealing object (BC).

[0097] In this case, the horizontal (X) of the side surface may be the length direction of the side surface, and the vertical (Y) of the side surface may be the thickness direction of the side surface.

[0098] In addition, the sealing target (BC) may be formed in a form in which the vertical length of the side is longer than the horizontal length, unlike that shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b.

[0099] Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, the side surface and direction of the sealing object (BC) are explained based on the example shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b, with the horizontal (X) of the side surface being the major axis corresponding to the length direction and the vertical (Y) of the side surface being the minor axis corresponding to the thickness direction.

[0100] The sealing device and sealing system according to the embodiment may be a device and system for sealing the sealing object (BC) as described above.

[0101] The above sealing device (100) refers to a device that performs a sealing process in a sealing system (1000) as illustrated in FIG. 4.

[0102] The above sealing system (1000) is a system for sealing the sealing object (BC), and includes the sealing device (sealing unit) (100) and a control device (control unit) (200) that controls the sealing device (100).

[0103] The above sealing device (100) includes a fixing part (10) and an application part (20), and seals the sealing object (BC).

[0104] Each of the above-mentioned fixing part (10) and the above-mentioned application part (20) may be a device that performs a respective function.

[0105] Each of the above-mentioned fixed part (10) and the above-mentioned application part (20) may be composed of multiple components.

[0106] Additionally, each of the fixing portion (10) and the application portion (20) may include one or more devices for performing each function.

[0107] A specific example of the sealing device (100) including the above-described fixing portion (10) and the application portion (20) may be as shown in FIGS. 5a to 5c.

[0108] The sealing device (100) may be provided in a form in which the fixing part (10) and the application part (20) are combined into one device on the upper part of the support part (1), as shown in FIGS. 5a to 5c.

[0109] In the above sealing device (100), the fixing part (10) fixes the sealing object (BC) while the sealing process for the sealing object (BC) is performed.

[0110] The above fixing member (10) fixes the sealing object (BC) so that the sealing object (BC) is secured and the side of the sealing object (BC) faces upward.

[0111] The above-mentioned fixed part (10) is formed with a structure corresponding to the longitudinal direction of the sealing object (BC), so that the sealing object (BC) can be secured.

[0112] The above fixed part (10) can have the sealing object (BC) mounted on the upper part.

[0113] The above fixed part (10) may be provided with one or more suction holes for vacuum suction of the sealing object (BC) mounted on the upper part.

[0114] The above fixing member (10) can fix the sealing object (BC) by vacuum suction through the suction hole when the sealing object (BC) is settled.

[0115] Accordingly, the sealing object (BC) can be maintained in a fixed state at a position secured to the upper portion of the fixing part (10) while the sealing process is performed.

[0116] The above-mentioned fixed part (10) may also further include a driving device that changes the posture of the sealing object (BC).

[0117] In this case, the driving device can rotate the sealing object (BC) so that the side of the sealing object (BC) facing upward is turned to the other side.

[0118] For example, when the sealing process for the above side is completed, the driving device can rotate the sealing object (BC) so that the side is switched to the other side, thereby performing the sealing process for the other side.

[0119] In the sealing device (100), the application part (20) moves a certain distance along one axis from one end of the side to the other end of the side, and moves along an axis perpendicular to the one axis from the one long side of the side to the other long side of the side at each certain distance to apply the sealant.

[0120] The above application part (20) is provided on the upper side of the above fixing part (10), moves from a position corresponding to the one end side to a position corresponding to the other end side by a predetermined distance, and applies the sealing material while moving between a position corresponding to the one end side and a position corresponding to the other end side from the moved position.

[0121] Here, the short side of the side may be the vertical side (Y) of the side, and the long side of the side may be the horizontal side (X) of the side.

[0122] Accordingly, the one end side to the other end side may correspond to the vertical (Y) length of the side, and the one end side to the other end side may correspond to the horizontal (X) length of the side.

[0123] That is, the application part (20) can apply the sealing material while moving in the longitudinal direction (X) of the side and moving in the thickness direction (Y) of the side at regular intervals.

[0124] Accordingly, the sealing material can be applied to the sealing target (BC) at intervals corresponding to the predetermined distance on the side.

[0125] The above-mentioned distance may be predetermined depending on one or more of the sealing material and the sealing target (BC).

[0126] The above-mentioned distance may be predetermined as a distance corresponding to one or more of the type and temperature of the sealing material, the type, size, and shape of the sealing target (BC).

[0127] The above-mentioned distance may be 2 to 6 [mm].

[0128] That is, the application part (20) can move by 2 to 6 [mm] and apply the sealing material in the thickness direction (Y) at intervals of 2 to 6 [mm].

[0129] The above application part (20) can preferably apply the sealing material at equal intervals.

[0130] The above sealing material can be accommodated in the accommodation portion (not shown) of the application portion (20) in a type corresponding to at least one of the type, size, and shape of the sealing target (BC).

[0131] The above sealing material may be made of acrylic material.

[0132] The above sealant may also be made of a material including acrylic and fluorine polymers.

[0133] The above sealant is made of a certain viscosity and can be accommodated in the application part (20).

[0134] For example, when the sealant is made of a first type of acrylic material, it can have a viscosity of 2,500 [mPa·S], and when the sealant is made of a second type of material including acrylic and fluorine polymer, it can have a viscosity of 500 to 1,000 [mPa·s].

[0135] The above application part (20) can receive the sealant and apply the sealant to the side surface when moving in the thickness direction (Y).

[0136] Meanwhile, the application unit (20) may accommodate a plurality of sealing materials and apply one or more of the plurality of sealing materials to the side surface depending on the sealing target (BC).

[0137] In this case, the application unit (20) has a plurality of receiving portions, and each of the plurality of receiving portions receives each of the plurality of sealing materials, and can apply one or more sealing materials corresponding to the sealing target (BC) to the side surface.

[0138] The above application unit (20), as illustrated in FIG. 4, may include a nozzle unit (21) that applies the sealant to the side surface and a driving unit (22) that moves the position of the nozzle unit (21) in at least one of the thickness direction of the side surface and the length direction of the side surface.

[0139] The shape of the application unit (20) including the nozzle unit (21) and the driving unit (22) may be as shown in Fig. 6.

[0144] The above nozzle part (21) can apply the sealant according to the preset application standard of the sealant.

[0145] Here, the application standard may be a standard for one or more of the application height, speed, pressure, thickness, width, length, and number of times of the sealant according to the sealant and the sealing target (BC).

[0146] For example, the application conditions may be one or more of the application height, speed, pressure, thickness, width, length and number of times of the sealant corresponding to one or more of the type and temperature of the sealant, and the type, size and shape of the sealing target (BC).

[0147] The above nozzle part (21) can be formed in a form in which the size of the nozzle hole through which the sealing material is applied is fixed to a predetermined size.

[0148] The size of the above nozzle hole can be determined based on at least one of the sealing material and the sealing target (BC).

[0149] The size of the above nozzle hole can be predetermined to correspond to at least one of the type and temperature of the sealing material, and the type, size, and shape of the sealing target (BC).

[0150] For example, if the sealant is an acrylic material, the nozzle hole may be formed with a size of A to apply the sealant, and if the sealant is a different material, the nozzle hole may be formed with a size of B to apply the sealant.

[0151] The above nozzle part (21) can be formed with a nozzle hole size of 50 to 400 [um].

[0152] The above nozzle part (21) may also be formed in a form in which the size of the nozzle hole is adjustable.

[0153] The above nozzle part (21) can adjust the size of the nozzle hole to 50 to 400 [um].

[0154] The above nozzle part (21) can adjust the size of the nozzle hole during application of the sealant.

[0155] The above nozzle part (21) can adjust the size of the nozzle hole to a size corresponding to at least one of the type and temperature of the sealing material, and the type, size, and shape of the sealing target (BC).

[0156] For example, if the sealant is an acrylic material, the sealant may be applied by adjusting the size of the nozzle hole to A, and if the sealant is a different material, the sealant may be applied by adjusting the size of the nozzle hole to B.

[0157] The above nozzle part (21) can apply the sealant by adjusting the size of the nozzle hole to 100 [μm], preferably when the sealant is made of acrylic material.

[0158] The above nozzle part (21) can also adjust the size of the nozzle hole according to the application standard.

[0159] The above nozzle part (21) is connected to the driving part (22) and its position can be moved by the driving part (22).

[0160] The above nozzle part (21) can be moved in position along the X-axis corresponding to the horizontal (length) direction of the side by the driving part (22).

[0161] The above nozzle part (21) can be moved in position along the Y-axis corresponding to the vertical (thickness) direction of the side by the driving part (22).

[0162] The above nozzle part (21) can also be moved in position along the Z-axis corresponding to the height direction of the side by the driving part (22).

[0163] The above nozzle part (21) can apply the sealing material in a direction toward the side while the position is moved along one axis by the driving part (22).

[0164] The above nozzle part (21) can apply the sealing material when moving in the thickness direction.

[0165] The above nozzle part (21) can apply the sealing material when moving between a position corresponding to the one-sided side and a position corresponding to the other-sided side.

[0166] That is, the nozzle part (21) can apply the sealing material while moving between a position corresponding to the one-sided side corresponding to the thickness direction and a position corresponding to the other-sided side.

[0167] The above nozzle part (21) can apply the sealing material when moving in the longitudinal direction.

[0168] The above nozzle part (21) can not apply the sealing material when moving between a position corresponding to the one end side and a position corresponding to the other end side.

[0169] That is, the nozzle part (21) can move between a position corresponding to the one end side corresponding to the longitudinal direction and a position corresponding to the other end side without applying the sealing material.

[0170] The above driving unit (22) may be a driving device that moves the position of the nozzle unit (21).

[0171] The above driving unit (22) is composed of one or more driving devices and can move the position of the nozzle unit (21) along one or more axes.

[0172] The above driving unit (22) is preferably composed of a plurality of driving devices, and can move the position of the nozzle unit (21) along a plurality of axes.

[0173] The above driving unit (22) may include an X-axis driving unit (22X) that moves the position of the nozzle unit (21) along the X-axis corresponding to the longitudinal direction.

[0174] Accordingly, the nozzle part (21) can be moved in the longitudinal direction by the X-axis driving part (22X).

[0175] The above driving unit (22) may include a Y-axis driving unit (22Y) that moves the position of the nozzle unit (21) along the Y-axis corresponding to the thickness direction.

[0178] Accordingly, the nozzle part (21) can be moved in the height direction by the Z-axis driving part (22Z).

[0179] The above driving unit (22) can move the position of the nozzle unit (21) in the thickness direction when the nozzle unit (21) applies the sealing material.

[0180] The above driving unit (22) can move the position of the nozzle unit (21) between a position corresponding to the one-sided side and a position corresponding to the other-sided side when the nozzle unit (21) applies the sealing material.

[0181] That is, when the nozzle part (21) applies the sealing material between the one-sided side and the other-sided side, the driving part (22) can cause the Y-axis driving part (22Y) to move the nozzle part (21) in the thickness direction.

[0182] The above driving unit (22) can move the position of the nozzle unit (21) in the longitudinal direction when the nozzle unit (21) does not apply the sealing material.

[0183] The above driving unit (22) can move the position of the nozzle unit (21) between a position corresponding to the one end side and a position corresponding to the other end side when the nozzle unit (21) does not apply the sealing material.

[0184] That is, when the nozzle part (21) does not apply the sealing material, the driving part (22) can cause the X-axis driving part (22X) to move the nozzle part (21) in the longitudinal direction.

[0185] The application unit (20) including the nozzle unit (21) and the driving unit (22) may also be formed in a different form from that shown in FIG. 6.

[0186] In this way, when moving in the longitudinal direction, the sealant is not applied, and when moving in the thickness direction, the application unit (20) that applies the sealant is moved by the driving unit (22) in the longitudinal direction (X) by a predetermined distance (a) from the position corresponding to the one end side (S) to the position corresponding to the other end side (E) when the sealing target (BC) is fixed to the fixing unit (10), and for each of the positions corresponding to the one end side (S) and the moved positions (a), the nozzle unit (21) is moved in the thickness direction (Y) between the position corresponding to the one-end side (T) and the position corresponding to the other end side (B) to apply the sealant.

[0187] In this way, the application part (20) moves in the longitudinal direction (X) by a certain distance (a), and moves in the thickness direction (Y) at each position corresponding to the one end side (S) and the moved position (a) to apply the sealant, so that the sealant can be applied to the side surface in a barcode-shaped pattern, as illustrated in FIG. 8.

[0188] That is, the application part (20) may apply the sealing material so that a sealing line (SL) formed by applying the sealing material is formed between the one side (S) to the other side (E) at a predetermined interval (a), and between the one side (T) to the other side (B), so that a plurality of sealing lines (SL) are formed in a barcode-shaped pattern.

[0189] Accordingly, the side of the sealing object (BC) can be sealed with a barcode pattern.

[0190] In this way, the application unit (20) that applies the sealant in the form of a barcode pattern on the side can apply the sealant according to the application standard, which is a standard for at least one of the application height, speed, pressure, thickness, width, length, and number of times of the sealant.

[0191] The above application part (20) can apply the sealing material at a height spaced apart from the side by a certain height.

[0192] The above application part (20) can apply the sealing material at a height spaced apart by the predetermined height between the one-sided side (T) and the other-sided side (B).

[0193] The above-mentioned predetermined height can be determined according to the sealing material and the sealing target (BC).

[0194] The above-mentioned predetermined height may be predetermined as a height corresponding to one or more of the type and temperature of the sealing material, the type, size, and shape of the sealing target (BC).

[0195] The above application unit (20) can adjust the height at which the sealant is applied during application of the sealant.

[0196] The above application unit (20) can adjust the height at which the sealant is applied to a height corresponding to at least one of the type and temperature of the sealant, and the type, size, and shape of the sealing target (BC).

[0197] The above application unit (20) can also adjust the height at which the sealant is applied according to the application standard.

[0198] For example, if the application height at a specific location among the above aspects is set to a specific height, the sealant can be applied by adjusting it to the specific height.

[0199] The above application unit (20) can preferably apply the sealant while maintaining the application height of the sealant while moving in the thickness direction.

[0200] That is, the application unit (20) can maintain the application height of the sealant at the constant height while applying the sealant.

[0201] For example, as shown in Fig. 6, the sealant may be applied while maintaining a height spaced apart from the side by h [mm].

[0202] The above application unit (20) can apply the sealing material at a speed within a certain speed range.

[0203] The above application unit (20) can apply the sealing material between the one-sided side (T) and the other-sided side (B) at a speed within the speed range.

[0204] The above speed range can be preset to a predetermined range.

[0205] The above speed range can be set to, for example, 1.2 to 1.7 [m / min].

[0206] The above speed range can be determined depending on the sealing material and the sealing target (BC).

[0207] The above speed range can be predetermined as a speed corresponding to one or more of the type and temperature of the sealing material, and the type, size, and shape of the sealing target (BC).

[0208] The above application unit (20) can control the speed of applying the sealant within the above speed range.

[0212] For example, if the application speed at a specific position among the above aspects is set to a specific speed, the sealant can be applied by adjusting it to the specific speed.

[0213] The above application unit (20) can preferably apply the sealant while maintaining the application speed of the sealant while moving in the thickness direction.

[0214] That is, the application unit (20) can maintain the application speed of the sealant at a constant speed while applying the sealant.

[0215] The above application unit (20) can apply the sealing material at a pressure within a certain pressure range.

[0216] The above application unit (20) can apply the sealing material between the one-sided side (T) and the other-sided side (B) at a pressure within the above pressure range.

[0217] The above pressure range can be preset to a predetermined range.

[0218] The above pressure range can be set to, for example, 2 to 8 [bar].

[0219] The above pressure range can be determined depending on the sealing material and the sealing object (BC).

[0220] The above pressure range may be predetermined as a pressure corresponding to one or more of the type and temperature of the sealing material, and the type, size, and shape of the sealing object (BC).

[0221] The above application unit (20) can control the pressure for applying the sealant within the above pressure range.

[0222] The above application unit (20) can control the pressure at which the sealant is applied during application of the sealant.

[0223] The above application unit (20) can control the pressure for applying the sealant to a pressure corresponding to one or more of the type and temperature of the sealant, and the type, size, and shape of the sealing target (BC).

[0224] The above application unit (20) can also control the pressure for applying the sealant according to the application standard of the sealant.

[0225] For example, if the application pressure at a specific location among the above aspects is set to a specific pressure, the sealant can be applied by adjusting it to the specific pressure.

[0226] The above application part (20) can preferably apply the sealant while maintaining the application pressure of the sealant while moving in the thickness direction.

[0227] That is, the application part (20) can maintain the application pressure of the sealant at a constant pressure while applying the sealant.

[0228] The above application unit (20) can apply the sealing material within a certain width range.

[0229] The above application unit (20) can apply the sealing material between the one-sided side (T) and the other-sided side (B) within a certain width range.

[0230] For example, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the sealing material may be applied to a width (b) within the width range so that the width of the sealing line (SL) is formed to a constant width (b) between the one-sided side (T) and the other-sided side (B).

[0231] The above width range can be preset to a predetermined range.

[0232] The above width range can be set to, for example, 3 to 4 [mm].

[0233] The above width range can be determined depending on the sealing material and the sealing target (BC).

[0234] The above width range may be predetermined as a width corresponding to one or more of the type and temperature of the sealing material, the type, size, and shape of the sealing target (BC).

[0235] The above application unit (20) can adjust the width of application of the sealing material.

[0236] The above application unit (20) can adjust the width of application of the sealant during application of the sealant within the above width range.

[0237] The above application unit (20) can adjust the width of application of the sealant to a width corresponding to at least one of the type and temperature of the sealant, and the type, size, and shape of the sealing target (BC).

[0238] The above application unit (20) can also adjust the width of application of the sealant according to the application standard of the sealant.

[0239] For example, if the application width at a specific location among the above aspects is set to a specific width, the sealant can be applied by adjusting it to the specific width.

[0240] The above application unit (20) can preferably apply the sealant while maintaining the application width of the sealant while moving in the thickness direction.

[0241] That is, the application unit (20) can maintain the application width of the sealant at a constant width while applying the sealant.

[0242] The above application part (20) can apply the sealing material to a length within a certain length range.

[0243] The above application part (20) can apply the sealing material between the one-sided side (T) and the other-sided side (B) to a length within the above length range.

[0244] For example, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the sealing material may be applied to a length (c) within the length range so that the length of the sealing line (SL) between the one-sided side (T) and the other-sided side (B) is formed to a length (c) within the length range.

[0245] The above length range can be preset to a predetermined range.

[0246] The above length range can be set to a length [mm] less than or equal to the vertical (Y) length of the side.

[0247] The above length range can be determined depending on the sealing material and the sealing object (BC).

[0248] The above length range may be predetermined as a length corresponding to one or more of the type and temperature of the sealing material, the type, size, and shape of the sealing target (BC).

[0249] The above application part (20) can adjust the length of application of the sealing material.

[0250] The above application unit (20) can adjust the length of application of the sealant during application of the sealant within the above length range.

[0251] The above application unit (20) can adjust the length of application of the sealant to a length corresponding to at least one of the type and temperature of the sealant, and the type, size, and shape of the sealing target (BC).

[0252] The above application unit (20) can also adjust the length of application of the sealant according to the application standard of the sealant.

[0253] For example, if the application length at a specific position among the above aspects is set to a specific length, the sealant can be applied by adjusting it to the specific length.

[0254] The above application unit (20) can apply the sealant while maintaining the application length of the sealant while moving in the thickness direction.

[0255] That is, the application part (20) can maintain the application length of the sealant at a constant length while applying the sealant.

[0256] Meanwhile, when applying the sealant, the application unit (20) can apply the sealant from at least a portion of the plate corresponding to the one-sided side (T) to at least a portion of the plate corresponding to the other-sided side (B).

[0257] That is, when the application part (20) applies the sealant between the one-sided side (T) and the other-sided side (B), as shown in FIG. 9, the sealant can be applied with a length (c) that includes at least a portion of the plate (SPT) corresponding to the one-sided side (T) and at least a portion of the plate (SPB) corresponding to the other-sided side (B).

[0258] Accordingly, sealing can be achieved between the uppermost separator (SPT), which is a plate corresponding to the one-sided side (T), and the lowermost separator (SPB), which is a plate corresponding to the other-sided side (B).

[0259] The above application unit (20) can apply the sealing material from the end of the plate (SPT) corresponding to the one-sided side (T) to the end of the plate (SPB) corresponding to the other-sided side (B).

[0260] That is, the application part (20) can apply the sealing material to a length that includes the thickness (d) of each of the plate (SPT) corresponding to the one-sided side (T) and the plate (SPB) corresponding to the other-sided side (B).

[0261] Accordingly, the application part (20) can apply the sealing material to a length (c) that is the same as the vertical length (Y) of the side.

[0262] The above application unit (20) can move multiple times between the one-sided side (T) and the other-sided side (B) from the moved position and apply the sealant multiple times.

[0263] The above multiple times can be preset to a predetermined number of times.

[0264] The above multiple times can be set to, for example, 2 to 4 [times].

[0265] The above multiple times can be determined according to the sealing material and the sealing object (BC).

[0266] The above multiple times may be predetermined as a number of times corresponding to one or more of the type and temperature of the sealing material, and the type, size, and shape of the sealing target (BC).

[0267] The above application unit (20) can control the number of times the sealant is applied during application of the sealant.

[0268] The above application unit (20) can maintain the number of times the sealant is applied depending on the application state of the sealant.

[0269] The above application unit (20) can increase the number of times the sealant is applied depending on the application state of the sealant.

[0270] The above application unit (20) can also reduce the number of times the sealant is applied depending on the application state of the sealant.

[0271] The above application unit (20) can also control the number of times the sealant is applied according to the application standard of the sealant.

[0272] For example, if the number of applications at a specific location among the above aspects is set to a specific number, the sealant can be applied by adjusting it to the specific number of applications.

[0273] In this way, the application unit (20) that applies the sealant can apply the sealant to at least each of the one end side (S) and the other end side (E).

[0274] That is, the application part (20) can apply the sealing material at intervals corresponding to the predetermined length between the one end side (S) and the other end side (E), and between the one end side (S) and the other end side (E), so that the sealing line (SL) is formed at each of the positions corresponding to the one end side (S) and the other end side (E), and at each position corresponding to the predetermined interval between the one end side (S) and the other end side (E), as shown in FIG. 8.

[0275] Meanwhile, the application unit (20) that applies the sealant in this way may apply the sealant differently at each location where the sealant is applied.

[0276] That is, the application part (20) may apply the sealant so that at least one of the plurality of sealing lines (SL) is formed in a different shape from the rest.

[0277] For example, the width of application of the sealant on the one end side (S) and the other end side (E) may be made thicker than the width of application between the one end side (S) and the other end side (E), so that the sealing line (SL) on the one end side (S) and the other end side (E) may be formed to have a width thicker than the remaining sealing lines (SL).

[0278] As such, the sealing device (100) including the fixing part (10) and the application part (20) may further include one or more of a transfer part (30) and a photographing part (40), as shown in FIG. 4.

[0279] The above-mentioned transport unit (30) may be composed of one or more devices for transporting the sealing object (BC).

[0280] The above-mentioned transfer unit (30) can receive the sealing object (BC) from an external device and transfer it to the fixing unit (10).

[0281] The above-mentioned transfer unit (30) can also transfer the sealing target (BC) that has been sealed in the above-mentioned fixing unit (10) to another device.

[0282] The above-mentioned photographing unit (40) may be a camera that photographs the sealing target (BC) and the state in which the sealing material is applied, as illustrated in FIG. 10.

[0283] The above-mentioned photographing unit (40) can photograph the state in which the sealing material is applied from the application unit (20) to the side.

[0284] The above-mentioned photographing unit (40) can transmit the photographing results to one or more of the central processing unit of the application unit (20) and the control unit (200).

[0285] In the case where the above-mentioned photographing unit (40) is further included, the application unit (20) can apply the sealing material based on the photographing results received from the photographing unit (40).

[0286] The sealing device (100), which includes the above-described fixing portion (10) and the application portion (20), and may further include one or more of the transfer portion (30) and the photographing portion (40), may be formed in a different form from that shown in FIGS. 5a to 5c.

[0287] Additionally, the sealing device (100) may further include one or more devices for driving.

[0288] The sealing device (100) may further include, for example, one or more of a communication device for performing communication with another device and a storage device for storing data related to the operation of the sealing device (100).

[0289] Meanwhile, the specific sealing process of the sealing device (100) can be performed by the control device (control unit) (200).

[0290] That is, the sealing device (100) can be controlled by the control device (200).

[0291] The above control device (200) may be a central processing unit built into the sealing device (100).

[0292] The above control device (200) may also be a dedicated control device that controls the sealing device (100).

[0293] For example, it may be a computer connected to the sealing device (100) or a dedicated control console.

[0294] The above control device (200) is connected to the sealing device (100) in a communication manner and can control the operation of the sealing device (100).

[0295] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the sealing system (1000) including the sealing device (100) and the control device (200) will be described, but parts overlapping with the previously described contents will be omitted.

[0296] The above sealing system (1000) refers to a system that seals the sealing object (BC) including the sealing device (100) and the control device (200), as shown in FIG. 4.

[0297] Meanwhile, in the sealing system (1000), the sealing device (100) may be referred to as a sealing unit, and the control device (200) may be referred to as a control unit.

[0298] In the sealing system (1000), the sealing part (100) includes the fixing part (10) that fixes the sealing object (BC) so that the sealing object (BC) is secured and the side of the sealing object (BC) faces upward, and the application part (20) that is provided on the upper side of the fixing part (10) and applies the sealing material to the side.

[0299] The above sealing part (100) includes the fixing part (10) and the application part (20), and performs a sealing process for the sealing target (BC).

[0300] In the above sealing system (1000), the control unit (200) controls the sealing unit (100) including the fixing unit (10) and the application unit (20).

[0301] The above control unit (200) controls the operation of each of the fixing unit (10) and the application unit (20) to control the performance of the sealing process of the sealing unit (100).

[0302] The above control unit (200) can control the operation of each of the fixing unit (10) and the application unit (20) by transmitting a control command for driving to each of the fixing unit (10) and the application unit (20).

[0303] That is, the meaning of the control unit (200) controlling the driving of each of the fixed unit (10) and the application unit (20) may mean that the control unit (200) transmits a control command to a driving control target, so that the driving control target performs an operation corresponding to the control command.

[0304] The above control unit (200) may include one or more devices for controlling the operation of each of the fixing unit (10) and the application unit (20).

[0305] The control unit (200) may include at least one of a communication device that communicates with at least one of the fixed unit (10) and the application unit (20) by means of wired communication and at least one of wireless communication and transmits and receives data, a storage device that stores data related to the driving control of the sealing unit (100), and a calculation device that performs calculations for the driving control of the sealing unit (100).

[0306] Meanwhile, if the control unit (200) is formed as a separate device from the sealing unit (100), and the sealing unit (100) includes a separate control device, the control unit (200) can control the performance of the sealing process by sending a control command to the control device and causing the control device to process the control command.

[0307] In addition, the control unit (200) may control the operation of at least one of the transfer unit (30) and the photographing unit (40) when the sealing unit (100) further includes at least one of the transfer unit (30) and the photographing unit (40).

[0308] The control unit (200) controls the application unit (20) to move in the longitudinal direction (X) of the side surface and to move in the thickness direction (Y) of the side surface at regular intervals to apply the sealant so that a predetermined sealing pattern is formed on the side surface when the sealing unit (100) performs the sealing process, thereby controlling the performance of the sealing process.

[0309] That is, when controlling the execution of the sealing process, the control unit (200) controls the fixing unit (10) to fix the sealing target (BC) so that the side faces upward, and as shown in FIG. 8, the application unit (20) moves from the one end side (S) to the other end side (E) in the longitudinal direction (X) by a predetermined length (a), and moves from the one end side (T) to the other end side (B) in the thickness direction (Y) at predetermined intervals (a) to apply the sealing material, thereby controlling the sealing pattern to be formed on the side.

[0310] The above sealing pattern may be a pattern in which the plurality of sealing lines (SL) formed by applying the sealing material are spaced apart at a predetermined interval (a), as illustrated in FIG. 8.

[0311] The above sealing pattern may be a barcode-shaped pattern.

[0312] Accordingly, on the above side, the plurality of sealing lines (SL) can be formed in a barcode-shaped pattern.

[0313] The above control unit (200) can control the application unit (20) to apply the sealant between the one-sided side (T) and the other-sided side (B) according to the application standard.

[0314] The above application standard may be a standard for one or more of the application height, speed, pressure, thickness, width, length, and number of times of the sealant corresponding to the sealant.

[0315] The above application standard may be a standard in which at least one of the application height, speed, pressure, thickness, width, length, and number of times of the sealant is preset according to at least one of the type and temperature of the sealant.

[0316] The above application standard may be a standard for one or more of the application height, speed, pressure, thickness, width, length, and number of times of the sealing material corresponding to the sealing target (BC).

[0317] The above application standard may also be a standard in which at least one of the application height, speed, pressure, thickness, width, length and number of times of the sealing material is preset according to at least one of the type, size and shape of the sealing target (BC).

[0318] The control unit (200) can also control the application unit (20) to apply the sealant to each of the plurality of sections (P1 to P3) by dividing the side surface into a plurality of sections (P1 to P3), as shown in FIG. 8.

[0319] For example, the sealing process for the first section (P1) may be performed first, and then the sealing processes for the second section (P2) and the third section (P3) may be performed sequentially.

[0320] The control unit (200) may also perform the sealing process for the first section (P1) multiple times or more, then perform the sealing process for the second section (P2) multiple times or more, and then perform the sealing process for the third section (P3) multiple times or more.

[0321] In this case, the control unit (200) may control the application unit (20) to reciprocate the first section (P1) at least once and apply the application material multiple times at each position corresponding to the predetermined interval in the first section (P1), then reciprocate the second section (P2) at least once and apply the application material multiple times at each position corresponding to the predetermined interval in the second section (P2), then reciprocate the third section (P3) at least once and apply the application material multiple times at each position corresponding to the predetermined interval in the third section (P3).

[0322] The control unit (200) can control the fixing unit (10) so that the other side of the sealing object (BC) faces upward when the sealing process for the side is completed, and control the application unit (20) so that the sealing material is applied to the other side.

[0323] That is, when the sealing process for one side of the sealing object (BC) is completed, the control unit (200) can control the fixing unit (10) to perform a sealing process for the other side of the sealing object (BC) so that the other side is fixed toward the top, and control the application unit (20) to apply the sealing material to the other side.

[0324] Meanwhile, if the sealing part (100) further includes the photographing part (40) that photographs the sealing target (BC) and the state in which the sealing material is applied, the control part (200) can control the sealing part (100) based on the photographing result.

[0325] The above control unit (200) can determine information about the sealing object (BC) based on the photographing result of the photographing unit (40) before performing the sealing process, and control the performance of the sealing process according to the determination result.

[0326] For example, when the fixing member (10) is fixed so that the side of the sealing target (BC) faces upward, the photographing member (40) photographs the side and transmits the photographing result to the control member (200), and the control member (200) determines the size of the side based on the photographing result, and sets the application standard according to the determined size to control the performance of the sealing process.

[0327] Alternatively, if the side is photographed by the photographing unit (40) and at least a portion of the side is sealed, the control unit (200) may determine at least a portion based on the photographing result and control the execution of the sealing process to apply the sealant except for at least a portion.

[0328] The above control unit (200) may also control the driving state of the application unit (20) based on the photographing results of the photographing unit (40) during the execution of the sealing process.

[0329] For example, if the result of analyzing the above photographing results shows that the application state of the sealant does not meet the application standard, the application unit (20) may be controlled to apply the sealant according to the application standard, or the application unit (20) may be controlled by correcting the application standard.

[0330] Alternatively, if the result of analyzing the above shooting results shows that a location where the sealant is applied is not a location corresponding to the predetermined interval, the location of the application unit (20) may be adjusted so that the sealant is applied to a location corresponding to the predetermined interval.

[0331] In this way, the sealing system (1000) in which the control unit (200) controls the sealing unit (100) to perform the sealing process may further include a hardening unit (300) that hardens the plurality of sealing lines (SL) formed by applying the sealing material to the side surface.

[0332] The above-mentioned hardening unit (300) may be a device that performs a hardening process for hardening the plurality of sealing lines (SL) after the sealing process of the sealing object (BC) is completed.

[0333] The above-mentioned hardening unit (300) may be a hardening device that hardens the plurality of sealing lines (SL) by UV curing.

[0334] The above hardening unit (300) may include one or more devices for hardening the plurality of sealing lines (SL).

[0335] When the sealing process of the sealing object (BC) is completed in the sealing object (100), the hardening unit (300) can receive the sealing object (BC) from the sealing unit (100) and harden the plurality of sealing lines (SL) formed on the side.

[0336] In this case, the hardening part (300) can receive the sealing object (BC) through the transfer part (30) of the sealing part (100).

[0337] The above hardening unit (300) can be controlled by the control unit (200) to harden the plurality of sealing lines (SL).

[0338] That is, the control unit (200) can control the operation of the hardening unit (300) to control the performance of the hardening process.
