Abstract:
The present invention relates to a lithium secondary battery, and more specifically to a lithium secondary battery having a multi-directional lead-tab structure. The lithium secondary battery of the present invention includes: an electrode assembly which is formed by alternately laminating an electrode plate having a current collector, an active material, and a tab, and an isolation layer; a lead which is electrically connected to the tab; and a battery case, wherein the lead is divided into an anode lead and a cathode lead, and at least two or more anode leads and cathode leads are provided. The battery of the present invention uses the same lead-tab size as the prior art and is suitable for use with high current.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a method of welding a metal tab of an electrode layer for a cable battery and an electrode manufactured thereby. This welding method, suitable for welding a metal tab to an electrode including a current collector for a cable battery, a conductive layer formed on the outer surface of the current collector, and a polymer film layer formed on the inner surface of the current collector, includes: a) removing a portion of the conductive layer using a pulse laser, thus exposing the surface of the current collector positioned thereunder, and b) welding a metal tab to the surface of the current collector, thus enabling the welding of a metal tab and an electrode for a cable battery, which has been difficult to achieve using a conventional welding process.
Abstract:
Provided are a method and an apparatus for manufacturing a crimp terminal capable of achieving a good state of conduction between the conductor portion of a coated wire and a crimp terminal. A laser welding device (3) is provided with a laser machining head (61), and carries out welding of a butted interface (Td) of a pre-welding crimp terminal (Tb) from the laser machining head (61). An output power density and a sweep rate of the laser light irradiated from the laser machining head (61) are adjusted so that sputter (S) which is ejected from a weld portion (W) of a butted interface (Td) of the pre-welding crimp terminal (Tb) adheres to an inner surface of the pre-welding crimp terminal (Tb).
Abstract:
There are provided a cold pressure welding apparatus and a coil manufacturing apparatus capable of successfully cold pressure welding even rectangular conductors and improving the stability of their connected portions as well as a rectangular conductor coil, capable of improving its space factor and its heat dissipation performance and causing no characteristic deterioration due to cutting and welding, and a method of manufacturing such a coil. The cold pressure welding apparatus includes: a first holding part capable of sandwiching a first flat conductor; a second holding part disposed opposite to the first holding part and capable of sandwiching a second flat conductor; and a drive part for moving the first holding part and the second holding part. The drive part can move the first holding part and the second holding part between a first direction separated position and a close position along a first direction. The drive part can move the first holding part and the second holding part between a second direction separated position and a sandwiching position along a second direction. In a sandwiching state, the drive part moves the first holding part and the second holding part to the sandwiching position, so that the first holding part sandwiches the first flat conductor and the second holding part sandwiches the second flat conductor. In a pressure welding state, the drive part moves the first holding part and the second holding part in the sandwiching state from the first direction separated position to a direction toward the close position, so that an end face of the first flat conductor and an end face of the second flat conductor are butted and pressed against each other, and thus welded together. In a retracted state, the drive part moves the first holding part and the second holding part to the first direction separated position and to the second direction separated position.
