Battery Cell Solder Joint Spacing for Uniform Current Flow
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The uneven distribution of solder joints in a cylindrical battery causes non-uniform current reception on electrode sheets, leading to irregular current flow and increased energy loss.
Innovation Solution
The solder joints are arranged at equal arc distances along the winding direction of the wound body, forming a uniform distribution on the full electrode tabs, ensuring uniform current transmission to the electrode sheets.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If full electrode tabs are soldered through laser soldering forming multiple solder joints in a V-shape or Chinese character pattern, then the electrode tabs are connected to the electrode sheets, but the current distribution on the electrode sheets becomes non-uniform
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the soldering process into multiple discrete solder joints arranged at equal arc distances along the winding direction, rather than forming continuous V-shaped or Chinese character patterns. This segmentation distributes the current entry points uniformly across the electrode sheets, preventing current concentration in specific areas and improving overall current distribution uniformity while reducing energy loss.
2Reliability
If multiple solder joints are arranged at equal arc distances along the winding direction, then current transmission uniformity is improved, but the manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the arrangement parameters of the solder joints from conventional V-shaped or Chinese character patterns to a uniform distribution along the winding direction at equal arc distances. This parameter change simplifies the design criteria while achieving uniform current transmission, as the equal arc distance arrangement provides a clear, measurable specification that guides the soldering process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary simulation and calculation to determine the optimal soldering trajectory and positions before actual manufacturing. By pre-calculating the equal arc distance intervals and soldering paths based on winding parameters, the complex uniform distribution requirement is transformed into a straightforward manufacturing guideline, reducing on-site decision-making complexity.
