Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device and a method for producing a rechargeable energy store; colloquially also referred to as an accumulator or battery, such as in the embodiment of a lithium-ion battery or a solid-state battery.
  • Rechargeable batteries or accumulators - hereinafter simply referred to as battery(ies) - are energy stores that primarily consist of 2 opposing electrodes (anode and cathode) with a separator placed in between.
  • this composite can be achieved by round or oval winding, or by stacking the individual components flat, with flat stacking having the greater energy density and therefore being treated preferentially in the following.
  • Both the electrodes and the separator are usually in the form of rolled-up web material and have to be unwound for further processing then the electrodes are separated individually from the sheet material and stacked flat on top of one another with the separator in between.
  • the stack basically consists of an anode, a cathode with an intermediate separator and ideally a final separator. Normally, the separator is slightly larger than the voltage generating areas of the electrodes, thus preventing a short circuit between the electrodes.
  • battery cell(s) In order to make the primary combination of anode, cathode and separators - hereinafter referred to as battery cell(s) - more efficient, several battery cells are stacked on top of each other and the respective current collectors of cathode and anode are welded together, so that a stable overall combination of several battery cells with positive and negative poles is formed arises.
  • the stacking accuracy of the electrodes has a significant influence on the performance of the battery cell, which is why special attention must be paid to this aspect.
  • DE 10 2017 216 133 A1 discloses a device and a method in which an electrode web is fed to the circumference of a rotationally driven roller, which consists of a large number of rigid segments, and is cut there with a laser to form electrode pieces, and the pieces remain fixed to the rigid segments of the roller via vacuum until they are deposited on a separator web.
  • the assembly of separator web with an electrode placed thereon is covered with a second separator web and transported to a second roller, which works in the same way as the roller described above, where the counter-electrode is placed on the separator web.
  • the entire composite is then cut into pieces to create a battery cell.
  • the above-mentioned prior art Due to the way in which the devices work or the design of the devices, the above-mentioned prior art has a low yield of battery cells, which impairs economical production. Furthermore, due to the insufficient precision of the processing, a high degree of inaccuracy in the stacking of the components is to be expected, which significantly impairs the quality and performance of the battery cell and ultimately the entire battery.
  • Electrode and counter-electrode are cut into pieces from sheet material
  • Electrode web Coiled web-like material that is either in the form of anode web or cathode web and is unwound for processing and transported as web.
  • Electrode Pieces of sheet material cut out of the electrode sheet, which are either an anode or a cathode.
  • Counter-electrode An electrode which has the opposite polarity (e.g. cathode) of the other electrode (in the example the anode).
  • Separator web Coiled web-like material that is inserted between the active surfaces of the electrodes and is unwound for processing and transported as a web.
  • the web goods are transported at a constant speed while processing or handling operations are carried out on them.
  • Continuous processing is particularly difficult when a work process to be carried out is time-consuming or complex, such as laser cutting of the electrodes, precise placement of the electrodes on the separator, and passing on the stacked assembly consisting of electrodes and separators to subsequent processing steps.
  • This problem is solved according to the invention with the device and the method described below.
  • the electrodes are cut out of a continuously moving electrode web using a laser beam, which follows the moving electrode web in a synchronized manner during the cut by a deflection unit - e.g.
  • the laser cut of the continuously moving electrode web is advantageously carried out on a straight conveying path.
  • each laser can complete its task with sufficient time or sufficient cutting speed, so that the output quantity is advantageously increased without adversely affecting the quality of the cut edge.
  • each laser can cut out an electrode completely in one piece, or several lasers cut out the same electrode, in which case each of the lasers cuts out only a section of the same electrode, but all together cut out the entire piece of the electrode.
  • the oval-shaped transport system has several driven segments that are designed in such a way that a cut-out electrode can be placed on each segment.
  • the segments move along the oval-shaped Track of the transport system, whereby the segments move at different speeds on the oval-shaped conveyor track and can be subjected to negative or positive pressure as required.
  • the segments on the surface on which the electrodes or the electrode web is transported have small air-permeable cross sections, for example in the form of bores, whereby the electrodes or the electrode web are sucked onto the segments when a vacuum is applied and are thereby fixed for transport and the electrodes can be detached from the segments again by deliberately releasing the underpressure or building up an overpressure.
  • the segments are preferably arranged so close together in the direction of travel that there is a small gap of a few tenths of a millimeter between them, and they have the same speed and direction as the electrode track, so that the electrode track - in interaction with the vacuum applied to the segments - can be picked up and transported safely and without slipping onto the segments.
  • the contour of the electrodes is cut out of the electrode track with a laser beam, which is done in the simplest case, for example, by a separating cut that runs at 90° to the transport direction of the electrode track, and the electrode track is cut into individual pieces - the electrodes.
  • the separating cut is made exactly in the gap between the segments, so that the laser can completely cut through the electrode track, but does not damage the segments. It is an advantageous embodiment if there is a negative pressure at the gap, so that particles that arise during cutting are sucked off immediately through the gap and do not contaminate the electrode in this way.
  • several lasers can also be used to cut out the electrodes on the straight conveyor section of the oval-shaped transport system in order to increase the output quantity.
  • the current conductors of the electrodes can also be cut out at the same time with the laser during the separation process of the electrode from the electrode web, insofar as they have not already been produced by a preceding manufacturing process.
  • the distance between the segments including the electrodes located on them is increased on the oval-shaped transport system, with this distance ideally being larger than the previous gap of the segments for laser cutting. Furthermore, the distance is designed so large that after the electrodes have been placed on the separator web, the separator web can be cut there without damaging the electrodes arranged in between or allowing contact with the oppositely arranged counter-electrode.
  • the distance between the electrodes is created by briefly accelerating the segments and then decelerating them again until the desired distance has been created, after which they are transported on to the transfer area at a constant speed while maintaining the distance.
  • the electrodes are first clamped by driven grippers, released from the segments by releasing the vacuum or applying an overpressure and transferred to the separator web, with the separator web and the grippers having the same continuous speed as the segments in the transfer area.
  • the segments are delayed on the oval-shaped transport system until the desired gap between the segments for picking up and laser cutting is present again, and in this way a new work cycle can take place on the oval transport system
  • two oval-shaped transport systems are required, with one of the transport systems being arranged above the separator track and the other below the separator track.
  • the one below the separator web Transport system transfers the electrodes from below to the separator track and the second oval-shaped transport system, which is located above the separator track, transfers the counter-electrode from above to the separator track.
  • the second oval-shaped transport system has the same work steps and features as the first oval transport system described above, namely the continuous recording of the electrode web on the segments, which have a small gap to one another, the laser cutting of the web in the gap to produce the electrodes , creating a greater distance between the segments, while maintaining this distance, clamping at least the electrodes by the grippers, and detaching the electrodes from the segments by reducing the negative pressure.
  • both transport systems the clamping is performed by the grippers and the electrodes are transferred to the separator web in the respective transfer area, whereby the transfer areas can overlap or be at a distance from one another.
  • the transfer areas of both transport systems are arranged parallel to one another and have such a large distance between the respective segments that at least the electrode, the separator web and the counter-electrode are located in them or are safe can be transported through.
  • both electrodes are ideally transferred congruently in the transfer areas on the separator web; can, however, in principle also be transferred offset to one another on the separator track.
  • the segments of the transport systems are fed to the transfer areas in a correspondingly controlled manner.
  • At least one gripper system is provided on the side and parallel to the separator track, which has a large number of driven grippers with openable and closable gripper fingers, with each electrode ideally being assigned a gripper.
  • the open grippers are moved into the transfer area at the same speed and in the same direction as the electrodes or the separator web, and complete their clamping task by closing the gripper fingers - ideally before the negative pressure of the segments is released.
  • the segments ideally have one or more recesses on the outside that runs transversely to the conveying direction, so that the grippers can clamp the electrodes in this area, or the electrodes protrude a little laterally over the segments, so that the clamping can be achieved in the protruding area can be done by the laterally arranged gripper system.
  • the separator web is also included in the clamping by the grippers, it also has a projection over the segments. It is particularly advantageous that the Current conductors of the electrodes usually protrude beyond the separator web, so that, for example, the electrode in the area of its conductor can be clamped together with that part of the separator web on which only the current conductor of the electrode occurs.
  • a prerequisite for this, however, is that the segments have a recess or are smaller than the separator sheet in order to enable clamping—as described above for the electrodes.
  • the grippers can also move on an oval-shaped path - made up of 2 semicircles and 2 straight conveyor sections. It is particularly advantageous if the grippers also have a straight and relatively long conveying path in the transfer area of the electrodes to the separator web, so that the grippers can be closed and the components clamped safely with sufficient time during continuous processing.
  • the purpose of clamping is to maintain the exact position of the clamped components, on the one hand to transport them safely out of the transfer area and to transport them precisely to possible subsequent processing operations.
  • the clamping of the components with the driven grippers has the advantage that the grippers can be guided very precisely via guide rails, particularly during the clamping and the further transport of the clamped components, and the clamped components remain positioned just as precisely in this way.
  • the prior art solves this problem only insufficiently, in that the electrodes loosely placed on the separator web are usually clamped between two conveyor belts, but the conveyor belts can run in principle, and in this way the stacking produced is undesirably shifted in an undefined manner.
  • the clamping function is no longer necessary if the clamped components are fixed in a non-positive, positive or material manner other than by the grippers.
  • Typical subsequent edits that are ideally under closed grippers are, for example, the feeding of a further separator web, which is placed congruently with the first separator web fed onto the electrodes either from above or below, or the welding of the electrodes to the separator webs.
  • the separator webs can then be separated using a laser beam, for example, with the separating cut ideally taking place in the area where there are no electrodes, ie in the area where the transport system previously created a gap between the electrodes.
  • the composite of electrode, separator, counter-electrode and separator now cut into piece goods represents the battery cell described at the beginning.
  • the invention it is also possible with the invention to arrange and fix the electrode and counter-electrode in the transport direction on just one separator web from below and above, with the electrodes being offset from one another in the processing direction, so that e.g. meandering loops or a Z-shaped fold of the Separator web with the electrodes located on it creates a stacked battery cell.
  • An advantageous design of the entire device is if on the transport system that transfers the electrodes from below onto the separator track, on the straight conveyor section directly opposite the separator track, both the feeding of the electrode track, the laser cutting, the feeding of the separator track, and the The electrode is transferred to the separator web.
  • the second transport system arranged above the separator track is slightly offset in the processing direction, and the transfer area is ideally congruent with the transfer area of the first transport system.
  • the feeding of the electrode track and the laser cutting take place on the upper, straight conveyor section of the second transport system, which is opposite the transfer area. Due to the overlapping of the transfer areas of both transport systems, there is now a common transfer area for both transport systems, where the electrodes are clamped by the grippers and can be transferred to the separator track. Here it is advisable to have gripper systems on both sides next to the separator web or the transport systems, which clamp the combination of "electrode - separator web counter-electrode" and transport it further in a correspondingly fixed position.
