SECONDARY BATTERY MANUFACTURING SYSTEM HAVING A MULTI-PACKAGING UNIT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18466833 titled 'SECONDARY BATTERY MANUFACTURING SYSTEM HAVING A MULTI-PACKAGING UNIT

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes a secondary battery manufacturing system with a multi-packaging unit, where multiple packaging units are provided in the facility. An electrode assembly is transferred to each packaging unit by a transfer unit on a transfer box. The system includes an electrode supply unit, tab-welding unit, packaging unit, temporary buffer, and transfer unit.

  • Electrode supply unit equipped with stacking devices for supplying electrode assemblies with stacked battery cells.
  • Tab-welding unit for welding tabs onto the electrode assembly.
  • Packaging unit for packaging the electrode assembly.
  • Temporary buffer for temporary storage of electrode assemblies.
  • Transfer unit for transferring electrode assemblies to packaging units.

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in the manufacturing of secondary batteries for various industries such as automotive, electronics, and energy storage.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient transfer of electrode assemblies to packaging units. 2. Streamlined secondary battery manufacturing process.

Benefits

1. Increased production efficiency. 2. Improved quality control. 3. Reduced labor costs.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Secondary Battery Manufacturing System with Multi-Packaging Unit: Commercial Applications"

Possible Prior Art

There are existing secondary battery manufacturing systems with single packaging units, but the use of a multi-packaging unit is a novel approach to improve production efficiency.

Unanswered Questions

1. What specific types of secondary batteries can be manufactured using this system? 2. Are there any limitations to the size or capacity of the battery cells that can be stacked in the electrode assembly?


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure relates to a secondary battery manufacturing system having a multi-packaging unit, in which multiple packaging units of a secondary battery manufacturing facility are provided and a transfer box on which an electrode assembly is accommodated is transferred to each packaging unit by a transfer unit, wherein the secondary battery manufacturing system includes: an electrode supply unit equipped with a plurality of stacking devices for supplying an electrode assembly in which a plurality of battery cells are stacked; a tab-welding unit; at least one packaging unit; at least one temporary buffer; and a transfer unit.
