Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing adhesive tape applying processes in battery manufacturing suffer from low efficiency and unreliable sticking, especially when applied to concave structures, leading to increased labor costs and risks of tearing.
Innovation Solution
An adhesive tape applying device with a shaping mechanism comprising a first and second shaping piece forming a channel, where the adhesive tape sucking head passes through, bending the tape ends to adaptively fit concave structures, ensuring firm attachment and reducing labor costs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traditional adhesive tape applying methods are used, then the process is simple, but the adhesive tape applying efficiency is low and sticking reliability is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The adhesive tape applying device is divided into multiple functional modules: a sucking mechanism with multiple sucking heads for different tape sections, a shaping mechanism with separate first and second shaping pieces, and a coordinating control system. This segmentation allows each module to perform its specific function optimally, improving both efficiency and reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The shaping mechanism acts as an intermediary between the sucking mechanism and the workpiece. It receives the adhesive tape from the sucking mechanism, shapes it to fit concave surfaces, and then applies it to the workpiece, ensuring proper adhesion and preventing tearing
2Reliability
If adhesive tape is applied to concave structures, then the workpiece can be protected, but the tape may not adhere firmly and tearing risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The shaping mechanism includes first and second shaping pieces that create a curved shaping channel matching the concave structure of the workpiece. The adhesive tape is shaped to follow this curvature, ensuring firm contact and adhesion to concave surfaces while preventing tearing
Solution Approach 2:
The sucking mechanism uses multiple sucking heads positioned at different locations to apply localized suction force to different sections of the adhesive tape. This allows precise control of tape tension and positioning at each location, ensuring proper adhesion without excessive force that could cause tearing
3Productivity
If manual adhesive tape applying is used, then flexibility is maintained, but labor cost increases and efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The adhesive tape applying device is designed with universal applicability to different workpiece types and adhesive tape specifications. The sucking mechanism can adjust the number and position of sucking heads, and the shaping mechanism can be configured with different shaping pieces, allowing one device to handle multiple applications without requiring complete redesign
Solution Approach 2:
The device automatically coordinates the sucking mechanism and shaping mechanism through a control system, eliminating the need for manual operation. The system self-regulates the suction force, shaping process, and tape application, reducing labor costs while maintaining consistent quality

AI summary
An adhesive tape applying device includes an adhesive tape sucking head; a shaping mechanism, a shaping assembly, the shaping assembly including a first shaping piece and a second shaping piece arranged at an interval, and an interval space between the two shaping pieces form a shaping channel. The adhesive tape sucking head can pass through the shaping channel and enable one end portion of the adhesive tape to be in contact with the first shaping piece and pass through a gap between the adhesive tape sucking head located in the shaping channel and the first shaping piece and the other end portion of the two end portions of the adhesive tape to be in contact with the second shaping piece and pass through a gap between the adhesive tape sucking head located in the shaping channel and the second shaping piece.
