Discussed is a notching apparatus and method for a secondary battery. The notching apparatus includes: a notching unit notching a portion of an electrode that is continuously supplied; a drying unit drying the electrode while the electrode discharged from the notching unit passes therethrough; and a collecting unit collecting the electrode discharged from the drying unit, wherein the drying unit includes a heating body provided with a drying space that is a passage through which the electrode passes therein, and lamp parts mounted on the heating body to irradiate infrared rays onto a surface of the electrode while the electrode moves through the drying space.

Notching apparatus and method for secondary battery

The present invention relates an electrode notching apparatus. The electrode notching apparatus comprises: a notching unit shaping an electrode into a predetermined pattern; a heating unit drying the electrode processed by the notching unit; and a collecting unit collecting the electrode dried by the heating unit, wherein the heating unit comprises: a heating body having a drying space through which the electrode supplied by the notching unit passes; and heating members directly heating a surface of the electrode passing through the drying space to dry moisture remaining on the electrode.

The present invention relates to an electrode heating device that dries an electrode. The electrode heating device comprises a heating body having a drying space through which the electrode passes, and a heating member that directly heats and dries a surface of the electrode that passes through the drying space to remove moisture from the electrode.

Electrode heating device and manufacturing system for secondary battery, which comprises the same

The present invention relates to an electrode mounting unit comprising: a mounting member comprising a horizontal plate, a vertical plate disposed on a top surface of the horizontal plate, and a shaft which is fixed to the vertical plate and into which an electrode roll is fitted to be mounted; and an unwinding prevention member disposed between the electrode wound around the electrode roll and the horizontal plate to support the electrode wound around the electrode roll so as to prevent the electrode wound around the electrode roll from being unwound.

Electrode mounting unit and electrode drying device comprising the same

A battery cell manufacturing apparatus for forming a sealing surplus portion includes a cradle configured to fix and mount a battery cell; one or more induction heating coils formed by winding an electrical wire at least one time at a position corresponding to an outer periphery of a pouch type case to generate an induced current in the outer periphery on which the sealing surplus portion is to be formed; a power supply configured to supply an alternating current to the induction heating coils; and at least two pressing members configured to press both sides of the outer periphery on which the sealing surplus portion is to be formed, wherein the outer periphery is induction-heated by a magnetic field generated in the induction heating coils and up to a temperature at which heat fusion is possible to form the sealing surplus portion.

Battery cell manufacturing device using induction heating

The present invention relates to a secondary battery structure. The secondary battery structure includes: a can; an electrode assembly accommodated in the can, the electrode assembly including a cathode tab and an anode tab; a cap plate sealing an opened upper end of the can; and an upper insulator disposed between the can and the cap plate, the upper insulator having a cathode tab hole for the cathode tab, an anode tab hole for the anode tab, and an injection/impregnation hole for injecting and impregnating, wherein each of the cathode tab hole, the anode tab hole, and the injection/impregnation hole extends in a length or width direction of the upper insulator and is symmetrical with respect to at least one of a line (a) that equally divides the upper insulator in a width direction and a line (b) that equally divides the upper insulator in a length direction.

Secondary battery structure

Provided are a secondary battery case and a method for manufacturing a secondary battery. The secondary battery case includes a can accommodating an electrode assembly and a top cap sealing an upper opening of the can. The top cap includes a top plate sealing the upper opening of the can, a filling hole passing through the top plate to fill an electrolyte into the can, and a protrusion protruding from the top plate on an upper portion of the filling hole. The protrusion is press-fitted into the filling hole to seal the filling hole. According to the present invention, the protrusion may protrude from the top plate. Thus, the protrusion may be press-fitted into the filling hole and thus broken to seal the filling hole. Therefore, the member for sealing the filling hole may be integrated with the top plate to reduce manufacturing costs and simplify a manufacturing process.
