Pouch, Apparatus For Molding The Pouch, And Method For Manufacturing Secondary Battery Comprising The Pouch - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18009844 titled 'Pouch, Apparatus For Molding The Pouch, And Method For Manufacturing Secondary Battery Comprising The Pouch
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an apparatus for molding a pouch that is used to mount and seal an electrode assembly. The pouch has two seating parts that fold to cover the top and bottom surfaces of the electrode assembly.
- The apparatus includes a lower mold with a first groove recessed from its top surface and a second groove recessed from the bottom surface of the first groove.
- It also includes an upper mold with a flat portion that is inserted into the first groove and a protrusion that inserts into the second groove.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Battery manufacturing: This apparatus can be used to mold pouches for lithium-ion batteries or other types of batteries that use electrode assemblies.
- Electronics industry: The pouches molded by this apparatus can be used in various electronic devices that require compact and lightweight power sources.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient sealing: The folding of the seating parts ensures that the electrode assembly is securely sealed within the pouch, preventing any leakage or damage.
- Space optimization: The compact design of the pouch allows for efficient use of space in battery packs or electronic devices.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved safety: The secure sealing of the electrode assembly prevents any potential hazards associated with battery leakage or short circuits.
- Enhanced performance: The compact and lightweight design of the pouch allows for higher energy density and improved overall performance of the battery or electronic device.
Original Abstract Submitted
An apparatus for molding a pouch, the pouch having a first seating part and a second seating part, that are connected to each other, the pouch being configured such that when an electrode assembly is mounted and sealed therein, the first seating part and the second seating part are folded to cover top and bottom surfaces of the electrode assembly, and the first seating part and the second seating part are in contact with each other. The apparatus includes, a lower mold in which a first groove recessed by a predetermined depth from a top surface thereof is formed, and a second groove is additionally recessed from a bottom surface of the first grove; and an upper mold on which a flat portion is formed on one surface thereof, which is inserted into the first groove, and a protrusion inserted into the second groove protrudes from the flat portion.
