Solution Overview

Problem

Existing battery packaging materials face issues with adhesive residues after peeling off protective tapes, which can damage the surface and affect the appearance, and these materials do not effectively prevent adhesive residues on non-colored layers.

Innovation Solution

A battery packaging material configuration with a substrate protective layer comprising a binder resin, wax, resin beads, and inorganic fine particles, where the surface gross value is set between 1% to 5%, allowing for good slipperiness and easy peeling of protective tapes without leaving adhesive residues, and includes a colored layer for improved visibility of adhesive residues.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the protective tape firmly adheres to the packaging material, then the protective tape is not peeled off during the production process, but adhesive residues remain on the packaging material after peeling

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesive strengthVSAvoidadhesive residues
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The substrate protective layer incorporates solid fine particles (wax, resin beads, inorganic fine particles) to create local variations in surface properties. These particles create micro-roughness that provides localized low-adhesion zones, allowing the protective tape to adhere strongly in some areas while easily peeling in others, thus preventing adhesive residues without compromising adhesive strength during production

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the surface parameters of the substrate protective layer by controlling the gross value (1-15%) and incorporating solid fine particles with specific particle diameters (1-20 μm). This parameter modification creates an optimal balance between adhesive strength and easy peeling, resolving the contradiction between reliable adhesion during production and residue-free removal after production

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of manufacture

If the protective tape is peeled off after production, then the packaging material surface is exposed, but adhesive residues damage the appearance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotective tape removalVSAvoidadhesive residues
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The invention converts the potentially harmful adhesive residues into a beneficial effect by using solid fine particles in the substrate protective layer. These particles create surface unevenness that prevents adhesive from fully contacting the packaging material, transforming the peeling process from harmful (leaving residues) to beneficial (easy removal without damage), thus improving ease of manufacture while eliminating appearance damage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

3Ease of manufacture

If inorganic and/or organic solid fine particles are dispersed in the substrate protective layer, then slipperiness is imparted for good moldability, but the surface gross value increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovemoldabilityVSAvoidsurface gross value
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The invention optimizes the parameters of solid fine particles by selecting specific particle diameter ranges (1-20 μm) and controlling the total content rate (30-50 mass %). This parameter optimization achieves the desired balance: particles large enough to provide slipperiness for good moldability, but small and controlled in quantity to maintain surface gross value within the optimal range (1-15%), thus resolving the contradiction between ease of manufacture and manufacturing precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
